Fragments of solidarity: the social worlds of African migrants moving northwards
No full textThe article provides a framework through which to analyse the experiences and social trajectories of migration from East Africa to North Africa and Europe. On the one side, it explores the systematic relationship between war and mobility, and on the other, it highlights the social worlds generated by such mobility. The article argues that these social worlds represent crucial elements for understanding contemporary (Eastern) African societies and their political dynamics, in relation to (a) the increased relevance of migration diplomacy, (b) the spatial interconnectivity constructed through mobility and (c) the transnational and diasporic spheres that lie at the core of the social and economic reproduction of states and societies in the Horn and more generally in Eastern Africa. We highlight, through these interconnections, the genealogies and transformations of the systems of violence composing the reality of migration in the regions explored, but also the various and interconnected systems of solidarity which, although fragmented and even misused at times, sustain migrants’ trajectories, social projects and resistance. In doing so, the article argues that it is necessary to explore present and historical local understandings and conceptualisations of migration, in relation to solidarity practices, forced migration, migrant smuggling, imaginaries of mobility
Tri-leaflet Mitral Valve with Three Papillary Muscles Associated to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Novel Case
No full textCongenital mitral valve (MV) malformations are uncommon, except for MV prolapse. Despite their infrequency, most of them are well-known and defined entities, such as congenital MV stenosis with two papillary muscles, parachute MV, supravalvular mitral ring, hypoplastic MV, isolated cleft in the anterior and/or posterior leaflets, and double-orifice MV. A trileaflet MV with three separate papillary muscles with concordant atrioventricular and ventricle-arterial connections is exceptionally rare. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it has been reported only once in association with subaortic valvular stenosis. We hereby describe a novel case associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

No full textBia decaerulea cayana Simonsen & Penz, NEW SSP. (Figs 4 c–f, 10e, 12) Diagnostic description. Defined by the following combination of characters: (1) MF DFW white apical ocelli medium-large. (2) MF DFW orange band somewhat diffuse, in M very wide and often extended into the discal cell (fading proximally); orange scales broadly extended proximally along veins, lining cross-veins at the distal edge of discal cell. (3) M DFW iridescent band absent; a glistening sheen is visible across the entire forewing. F DFW blue iridescence well developed but variable; usually extended across the entire DC, diffuse anteriorly; usually visible at the CuA1-CuA2 intersection; below the discal cell, the iridescent area is wide and may spread towards the tornus to meet the edge of the orange band, being similar to that of actorion but wider than in decaerulea decaerulea. (4) M DFW androconial scales on the CuA-CuA1-CuA2 intersection dark brown, matching scale color of surrounding area and intermingled with orange scales. (5) M DHW discal androconial pad dark brown, nearly black, always darker than associated hairpencil. (6) M DHW discal hairpencil dark brown, but lighter in color than discal androconial pad. (7) F VFW ripple pattern less dense than that of M, with the VFW postmedial area showing a more predominantly yellow color and with one or two pale markings sometimes present across DC. Etymology. The name cayana refers to the locality Cayenne in French Guiana. Type material. Holotype M (Fig. 4 c), deposited in the CMNH collection, three labels separated by // and transcribed verbatim: Mana River, Fr. Guiana, May, 1917. Acc. 6008. // 12–18 dissected by C.M. Penz // HOLOTYPE Bia decaerulea cayana Penz & Simonsen, 2017. Paratypes are listed in Appendix, and Fig. 4 d–f show paratypes (two M, one F) deposited at CMNH. Note variation in the extent of orange coloration on the M DFW. Distribution and examined specimens. Fig. 12 and Appendix. Remarks. Males of this subspecies have a more pronounced dorsal glossy sheen (best viewed when the specimen is tilted) than those of the nominal subspecies and decaerulea pallida.Published as part of Penz, Carla M., Casagrande, Mirna M., Devries, Phil & Simonsen, Thomas J., 2017, Documenting diversity in the Amazonian butterfly genus Bia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae), pp. 201-237 in Zootaxa 4258 (3) on page 213, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4258.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/56972
Bia rebeli subsp. aegina Penz & Simonsen, NEW SSP.
No full textBia rebeli aegina Penz & Simonsen, NEW SSP. (Figs 5 c–f, 10g, 12) Diagnostic description. Defined by the following combination of characters: (1) MF DFW white apical ocelli medium-small (most of the range) showing a cline to very small or absent (the DFW and VFW apical ocelli, and the VFW ocellus below M1 are very small or absent in Bolivian specimens). (2) M DFW orange band moderately wide, usually opaque; orange scales somewhat extended proximally along veins. (3) M DFW iridescent band from anal margin to approximately half of the CuA2 cell in most specimens, nearly reaching CuA 2 in others, and less frequently reaching CuA2 (southern Peru; variable within localities). F DFW iridescent band more diffuse and narrower than that of actorion, especially noticeable below CuA2 where the iridescence is less extended towards the tornus. (4) M DFW androconial organ on the CuA-CuA1-CuA2 intersection pale, contrasting scale color of surrounding area. (5) M DHW discal androconial pad varying from pale brown to silvery brown. (6) DHW discal hairpencil brown, darker in color than discal androconial pad. (7) F VFW ripple pattern less dense than that of M. Etymology. In Greek mythology, Aegina, daughter of the river god Asopus, married Actor, son of king Deioneus of Phocis and his wife Diomede. Here we name one of the Bia rebeli subspecies after the nymph Aegina as means of acknowledging that this species is separate from Bia actorion. Type material.

DeVries Trap: 4 und // HOLOTYPE Bia rebeli aegina Penz & Simonsen, 2017. Paratypes are listed in Appendix, and Fig. 5 d shows a paratype F. Distribution and examined specimens. Fig. 12 and Appendix. Remarks. Specimens from Bolivia slightly differ from Peruvian by their minute (sometimes absent) dorsal forewing white apical ocelli, and a very small dark ocellus in ventral forewing cell M2 (compare Figs 5 e–f with 5c– d). Although examined specimens from Peru, Manu National Park generally conform to the rebeli aegina phenotype, one specimen has paler than expected hind wing discal androconial organs (Fig. 5 g) although not as pale as those of rebeli rebeli or rebeli acreana.Published as part of Penz, Carla M., Casagrande, Mirna M., Devries, Phil & Simonsen, Thomas J., 2017, Documenting diversity in the Amazonian butterfly genus Bia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae), pp. 201-237 in Zootaxa 4258 (3) on page 218, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4258.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/56972

Modern work: Roberto Simonsen\'s construction company.
No full textO estudo da atuação profissional e comercial da Companhia Construtora de Santos, empresa criada pelo engenheiro civil Roberto Cochrane Simonsen junto com outros empresários, em 1912 na cidade de Santos, estado de São Paulo, é o tema definido para a tese de doutoramento. Reunindo estrutura de gestão e divisão do trabalho apoiada nas ideias de Frederick Taylor, as atividades da Companhia Construtora de Santos enveredaram para diversos caminhos da arquitetura e da engenharia. No início do século 20, período em que boa parte das construções era produzida por pequenos e médios empreiteiros, a Companhia contava com engenheiros e arquitetos no quadro de funcionários da empresa, posicionados para gerenciar e coordenar as ações de produção imobiliária à infraestrutura urbana. Executou projetos técnicos e arquitetônicos ecléticos e modernos, urbanizou bairros de cidades como Santos e São Paulo, construiu palacetes, armazéns, sedes bancárias e imponentes edifícios. Do amplo catálogo de projetos e obras realizadas vale mencionar o encargo obtido do Ministério da Guerra para a construção simultânea de dezenas de quartéis em diversos estados do país, entre os anos de 1921 e 1924. Simonsen se coloca como responsável pela organização e crescimento da empresa de construção. Com tino empreendedor aplicou métodos administrativos apoiados no scientific management para racionalizar a gestão empresarial da Construtora, procurando torná-la mais competitiva no mercado. Ao planejamento da empresa se sobrepõe o alinhamento estratégico, social e político de Roberto Simonsen com as instâncias públicas, visando assegurar o êxito comercial da empresa. A Companhia Construtora de Santos atuou na construção civil até 1929, quando essa prática foi redirecionada para a Sociedade Construtora Brasileira, empreiteira subsidiária com outro norteamento administrativo.The study of professional and commercial performance of Companhia Construtora de Santos, a company created by civil engineer Roberto Cochrane Simonsen along with others businessman, in 1912 in the city of Santos, state of São Paulo, is the theme defined for the doctoral thesis.

At the beginning of the 20th century,a time when many of the building were produced by small and medium-sized contractors, the company had architects and engineers on staff, positioned to manage and coordinate the actions of real estate production of urban infrastructure. Executed technical and architectural projects, urbanized neighborhoods of cities such as Santos and São Paulo, built palaces, warehouses, bank offices and imposing buildings. From the extensive catalog of works produced it is worth mentioning the burden obtained from the Ministry of the Army for the simultaneous construction of dozens of barracks in various states of the country, between the years 1921 and 1924. Simonsen is primarily responsible for the organization and growth of the company.
