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

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.

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.

Evolving Aspirations and Cooperation
No full textA model of "satisficing" behavior in the repeated Prisoners Dilemma is studied. Each player has an aspiration at each date, and takes an action. [S]he switches from the action played in the previous period only if the achieved payoff fell below the aspiration level (with a probability that depends on the shortfall). Aspirations are updated in each period, according to payoff experience in the previous period In addition, aspirations are subjected to random perturbations around the going level, with a small "tremble" probability. For sufficiently slow updating of aspirations, and small tremble probability, it is shown that in the long run both players cooperate most of the time
Forest Degradation in the Himalayas: Determinants and Policy Options
No full textThis paper summarizes findings from a decade-long project on forest degradation in the mid-Himalayan region of India and Nepal. The analysis is based on LSMS data for Nepal and field work in Indian states of Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh comprising sample surveys of forests, households and village communities, besides commissioned anthropological studies for select villages. The purpose was to ascertain the nature and magnitude of deforestation and degradation from ground-level forest measurements, its implications for living standards of local communities, the contribution of different factors commonly alleged such as local poverty, inequality, economic growth, demographic changes, property rights and lack of collective action by local communities. Principal findings, policy implications and questions for future research are discussed.
Dehydration of chlorite explains anomalously high electrical conductivity in the mantle wedges
No full textMantle wedge regions in subduction zone settings show anomalously high electrical conductivity (∼1 S/m) that has often been attributed to the presence of aqueous fluids released by slab dehydration. Laboratory-based measurements of the electrical conductivity of hydrous phases and aqueous fluids are significantly lower and cannot readily explain the geophysically observed anomalously high electrical conductivity. The released aqueous fluid also rehydrates the mantle wedge and stabilizes a suite of hydrous phases, including serpentine and chlorite. In this present study, we have measured the electrical conductivity of a natural chlorite at pressures and temperatures relevant for the subduction zone setting. In our experiment, we observe two distinct conductivity enhancements when chlorite is heated to temperatures beyond its thermodynamic stability field. The initial increase in electrical conductivity to ∼3 × 10-3 S/m can be attributed to chlorite dehydration and the release of aqueous fluids. This is followed by a unique, subsequent enhancement of electrical conductivity of up to 7 × 10-1 S/m. This is related to the growth of an interconnected network of a highly conductive and chemically impure magnetite mineral phase. Thus, the dehydration of chlorite and associated processes are likely to be crucial in explaining the anomalously high electrical conductivity observed in mantle wedges. Chlorite dehydration in the mantle wedge provides an additional source of aqueous fluid above the slab and could also be responsible for the fixed depth (120 ± 40 km) of melting at the top of the subducting slab beneath the subduction-related volcanic arc front
