A banda desenhada como ferramenta para investigação sobre violência de género: entrevista com Nayanika Mookherjee sobre o romance gráfico Birangona: para testemunhos éticos de violência sexual durante conflitos (2019)
No full textComics and the recently emerged graphic novel format are among the art forms that researchers have chosen to disseminate and provide a visual representation of their work. This relationship between comics and research, which is part of a practice labelled as “arts-based research”, has been facilitated by comics’ recognised narrative and didactic abilities. Research on gender-based violence has not been deaf to the call of comics art, and, in some rare but interesting cases, it has exploited the features of the medium to visualise and circulate research findings. An example is the graphic novel Birangona (Mookherjee & Najmun Nahar, 2019 Durham University), authored by the researcher Nayanika Mookherjee and by the comics artist Najmun Nahar Keya, which was circulated, both in an online and paper version, with the aim of popularizing a set of guidelines on how to conduct oral history data collection with survivors of wartime rape. This interview with Professor Nayanika Mookherjee, the co-author of the graphic novel and the anthropologist who conducted the research with wartime rape testimonies from which the guidelines were taken, has the objective of presenting the arts-based research project Birangona and discussing, in a scholarly fashion, the implementation of visual arts methodologies (and comics-based methodologies in particular) to research gender violence.A banda desenhada e o recente formato de romance gráfico estão entre as formas
de arte que os investigadores escolheram para divulgar e fornecer uma represen tação visual do seu trabalho. Esta relação entre banda desenhada e a investigação,
que faz parte de uma prática rotulada como “investigação baseada nas artes”,
tem sido facilitada pelas reconhecidas capacidades narrativas e didáticas da banda
desenhada. A investigação sobre a violência baseada no género não tem sido
indiferente ao apelo da banda desenhada, e, em alguns casos raros, mas in teressantes, explora as características do meio para visualizar e fazer circular
os resultados da investigação. Exemplo disso é o romance gráfico Birangona
(Mookherjee & Najmun Nahar, 2019; Durham University), da autoria da inves tigadora Nayanika Mookherjee e da artista de banda desenhada Najmun Nahar
Keya, distribuído em versão digital e em papel, para popularizar um conjunto
de orientações para conduzir a recolha de dados de história oral junto de so breviventes de violação em tempos de guerra. Esta entrevista com a Professora
Nayanika Mookherjee, coautora do romance gráfico e antropóloga que conduziu
a investigação com testemunhos de violações em tempos de guerra dos quais
foram retiradas as orientações, pretende apresentar o projeto de investigação
baseado nas artes Birangona e discutir, a nível académico, a implementação de
metodologias de artes visuais (metodologias baseadas em banda desenhada em
particular) para investigar a violência de género

Solubility of water in pyrope-rich garnet at high pressures and temperature
No full text[1] The water solubility in pyrope-rich garnet was determined between pressures of 5-9 GPa and temperatures of 1373 -1473 K under silica activity and oxygen fugacity similar to those expected in the Earth's upper mantle. We found that pyrope-rich garnet has substantial water solubility up to $0.1 wt% under these conditions. In addition, the water content in garnet varied as a function of chemical conditions. In particular, the variation in water fugacity (and Mg#) caused a variation in water partitioning with olivine (D H 2 O ol/py ). The substantial water solubility in pyrope-rich garnet under deep upper mantle conditions might have significant influence on physical and transport properties. Citation: Mookherjee, M., and S.

Sustainable Forest Management Crisis and Bribery in Cameroon: An Empirical Investigation of the Mookherjee and P'ng Model
No full textThe author tries to use the Mookherjee and P'ng model to analyze bribery as one of the key explanatory variables for the sustainable forest management crisis in Cameroon. The analysis of field data shows that the public administration of forest in this country does not have the incentive and dissuasive instruments recommended by the anti-bribery model. The author therefore recommends that the Administration should use these instruments in an attempt to remedy the crisis.

Unusually large shear wave anisotropy for chlorite in subduction zone settings
No full textInternational audienceUsing first principle simulations we calculated the elasticity of chlorite. At a density ρ~ 2.60 g cm−3, the elastic constant tensor reveals significant elastic anisotropy: VP ~27%, VS1 ~56%, and VS2 ~43%. The shear anisotropy is exceptionally large for chlorite and enhances upon compression. Upon compression, the shear elastic constant component C44 and C55 decreases, whereas C66 shear component stiffens. The softening in C44 and C55 is reflected in shear modulus, G, and the shear wave velocity, VS. Our results on elastic anisotropy at conditions relevant to the mantle wedge indicates that a 10-20 km layer of hydrated peridotite with serpentine and chlorite could account for the observed shear polarization anisotropy and associated large delay times of 1-2 s observed in some subduction zone settings. In addition, chlorite could also explain the low VP/VS ratios that have been observed in recent high-resolution seismological studies
