Space cooling already accounts for 14% of residential electricity demand in Brazil, and it is expected to increase further because of climate change.
Very few studies investigate the relationship between climate change, cooling needs, and electricity demand. In a new study in
Energy and Buildings, a team of researchers from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and CMCC@Ca Foscari - a joint program of Ca Foscari University of Venice and CMCC Foundation - investigate how climate and income during the period 1970-2010 shaped cooling services in Brazil. This historical relationship allows projecting the resulting energy demand for cooling services across three warming scenarios: +1.5°C, +2°C, +4°C.

Global LATIN AMERICA GENE EXPRESSION Market Is Estimated To Grow With A CAGR of 5.8% from 2021-2028
The global Latin America Gene Expression market size is expected to be worth around US$ 578.5 million by 2028, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

In early January, New York City-based international law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed announced seasoned capital markets attorney Carlos Lobo as its new partner in a move that strengthens the firm’s strategic presence in Brazil and Latin America.
Abstract
To characterize the genetic basis of facial features in Latin Americans, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 6000 individuals using 59 landmark-based measurements from two-dimensional profile photographs and ~9,000,000 genotyped or imputed single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We detected significant association of 32 traits with at least 1 (and up to 6) of 32 different genomic regions, more than doubling the number of robustly associated face morphology loci reported until now (from 11 to 23). These GWAS hits are strongly enriched in regulatory sequences active specifically during craniofacial development. The associated region in 1p12 includes a tract of archaic adaptive introgression, with a Denisovan haplotype common in Native Americans affecting particularly lip thickness. Among the nine previously unidentified face morphology loci we identified is the VPS13B gene region, and we show that variants in this region also affect midfacial morphology

For most Brazilians taking a bachelor’s or diploma course, getting a certificate for a course or attending a scientific congress seems trivial, but for the transpopulation active in Brazilian science, the law can be humiliating.
This is because although many of the registration and registration systems, even though they use the social name in their personal and professional circles, still ask for the civil registration name with no option to change.
The law contradicts the decision approved by the Ministry of Education in 2018 authorizing the use of the social name in enrollment in educational institutions in the country while the person awaits the name correction.
