Causal impacts of epidemics and pandemics on food supply chains : a systematic review

Cardoso, Brenda ; Cunha, Luiza ; Leiras, Adriana ; Gonçalves, Paulo ; Yoshizaki, Hugo ; de Brito Junior, Irineu ; Pedroso, Frederico

In: Sustainability, 2021, vol. 13, no. 17, p. 28

The epidemics and pandemics can severely affect food supply chains, including producers, retailers, wholesalers, and customers. To minimize their impacts, it is fundamental to implement effective policies that ensure continuity in the provision, affordability, and distribution of basic food items. This research identifies the main impacts of pandemics and epidemics on food supply chains and ...

Microcredit impacts : evidence from a large-scale observational study in Brazil

Goldszmidt, Rafael ; Behr, Patrick ; Zucco, Cesar ; Lenz, Anna-Katharina ; Gonzalez, Lauro ; Valdivia, Martin

In: The european journal of development research, 2021, p. 27

This paper studies the impact of microcredit in Brazil. We use a propensity score matching on original primary data on business and personal outcomes to compare veteran clients of BNDES - Brazil’s largest government-owned development bank - to a matched sample of more recent clients. Based on administrative data as well as data from a survey of 2107 clients from the South and Northeast...

Potential of PEGylated toll-like receptor 7 ligands for controlling inflammation and functional changes in mouse models of asthma and silicosis

Teixeira Ferreira, Tatiana Paula ; Lacerda Mariano, Lívia ; Ghilosso-Bortolini, Roberta ; Santos de Arantes, Ana Carolina ; Fernandes, Andrey Junior ; Berni, Michelle ; Cecchinato, Valentina ; Uguccioni, Mariagrazia ; Maj, Roberto ; Barberis, Alcide ; Machado Rodrigues Silva, Patricia ; Martins, Marco Aurélio

In: Frontiers in immunology, 2016, vol. 7, p. 95

Prior investigations show that signaling activation through pattern recognition receptors can directly impact a number of inflammatory lung diseases. While toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 agonists have raised interest for their ability to inhibit allergen-induced pathological changes in experimental asthma conditions, the putative benefit of this treatment is limited by adverse effects. Our aim...

Role of CXCL13 and CCL20 in the recruitment of B cells to inflammatory foci in chronic arthritis

Armas-González, Estefanía ; Domínguez-Luis, María Jesús ; Díaz-Martín, Ana ; Arce-Franco, Mayte ; Castro-Hernández, Javier ; Danelon, Gabriela ; Hernández-Hernández, Vanesa ; Bustabad-Reyes, Sagrario ; Cantabrana, Alberto ; Uguccioni ; Díaz-González, Federico

In: Arthritis research & therapy, 2018, vol. 20, p. 114

Background: B cells exert their pathogenic action in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) locally in the synovium. This study was undertaken to elucidate the chemokines responsible for the recruitment of B cells in the inflamed synovium, taking into account that the rich chemokine milieu present in the synovial tissue can fine-tune modulate discrete chemokine receptors. Methods: Expression levels of...
