Abstract
Okumura (University of São Paulo [USP]) and Cochrane (University of Auckland [UA]) are allied researchers in bio-anthropology and archaeology specialising in evolutionary-ecological theory and related quantitative methods used to study the human past. Their research programmes examine past populations focusing on demography, population interaction, and technological variation related to s…

Abstract
There is an increasing concern about water, energy and food security worldwide due to an expected increase in demand for these resources in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. While water, energy and food issues have been traditionally addressed separately, the interrelation between these elements is becoming increasingly important. In recent years, the Water-Energy-Fo…

Abstract
Hypnea pseudomusciformis is one of the most common species in the Brazilian coast. Research has confirmed that this genetically similar alga shows a great deal of morphological variation even in sympatry, and that this variation is stable in culture. Research has also shown that these genetically stable morphologies are reproductively compatible. How do reproductively compatible organisms…

Abstract
Interventions focused on the scapula have been frequently used to treat shoulder pain. However, most studies do not assess the contribution of scapular movement alteration for the symptoms. Objectives: To compare the effects of two interventions for shoulder pain: Scapular Movement Training and Conventional Exercises. Methods: This is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Sixty-fo…
