Abstract
Cryptococcus species are etiological agents of cryptococcosis, the cerebral form is the most frequent and severe in HIV/AIDS patients, resulting in high rates of mortality and morbidity. Although antifungal therapy for cryptococcosis is available, it is still ineffective due to the limited antifungal option, side effects, unfavorable pharmacokinetics, and the increase of isolates resistan…

Abstract
This document will describe in detail the activities planned to be carried out by the Visiting Researcher, from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Research motivated by the preparation and design of new materials for the development of devices for the production and storage of clean energy is growing and mandatory to ensure a sustainable energy future. It is evident that nanoscale materials …

Abstract
Bases on the calculations by Mafra, Schlotterer and Stieberger using pure spinor formalism, S.Mizera made an important observation about tree level string amplitudes: tree level string amplitudes both for closed and open strings can be expressed in terms of twisted homology and cohomology. Professor Schwarz is currently working, in collaboration with S. Mizera and D. Fuchs, on extending t…

Abstract
One of the most significant issues regarding open ecosystem conservation is the broad occurrence of invasive plant species. Invasive grasses, in particular, produce volumes of biomass far higher than native grasses, outcompeting the native vegetation and altering fire regimes and fire behavior. Cattle grazing has been suggested as a potential solution to control the invasive species. Howe…

Abstract
This internship project aims to contribute with methodological reflections for my Doctoral research, whose main objective is to produce an ethnographic description of the complex relationships between the A'uwe people (also known as Xavante) of the central Cerrado, the Brazilian savanna, and the buriti palm (Mauritia flexuosa), an extremely important plant for this people and deeply linke…

Abstract
Muscle injuries, ranging from mild strains to severe trauma, undergo a well-defined repair process involving degeneration, inflammation, regeneration, and remodeling phases. However, extensive injuries can overwhelm this process, leading to volumetric muscle loss (VML) characterized by dysfunctional muscle and fibrotic tissue. Notably, even a 10-20% loss in muscle mass can result in a sub…

Abstract
One of the ways to study problem-solving is through the paradigm of matrix reasoning tests. Eye tracking equipment produces data that demonstrates where the participant was looking during the test, and these eye gazes can reveal cognitive strategies used to solve the problem. The literature indicates that there are two main strategies, one global and one local, and that the application of…

Abstract
What would be the consequences of affective polarization on party organization change? Can we expect political parties to be key players in the functioning of representative democracies in the aftermath of populism rise? To address these questions, one essential step is to investigate how affective polarization operates among party members in different strata. We found evidence of increas…

Abstract
The insertion of fruits from native species in the market can enhance the socio-economic development of the region, in addition to valuing Brazilian biodiversity. Native passion fruit is rich in bioactive compounds associated with reducing the incidence of obesity-associated comorbidities. Our research group demonstrated that fruits of P. tenuifila, passion fruit native to the Brazilian C…
