“…Islam et al ( 2019) used ANT to understand the role of actor heterogeneity in blockchain splits, and Esmaili et al ( 2022) conducted a strategic analysis of blockchain technology for security organisations. Several studies used ANT to investigate the adoption of different technologies, including mobile communication (McBride, 2003), autonomous vehicles (Seuwou et al, 2016), solar machines (Penteado et al, 2019), and business-to-business portals (Tatnall & Burgess, 2002). All these studies support the applicability and validity of ANT as the theoretical foundation for this study.…”

An overview of challenges around blockchain adoption has revealed that there is little understanding of the process of blockchain adoption decisions, including who needs to be involved and consulted at various stages. When systems are designed to intentionally protect privacy or to obscure actors, such as blockchain platforms, it can be challenging to identify them and to understand their roles. To do this we used an Innovation Translation approach from Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 2007) which looks at the roles of both human and non-human actors. To understand the interactions among the actors involved, multiple rounds of interviews were conducted with Blockchain experts, utilising the qualitative Delphi method. The findings of this study propose a framework that provides insight into the decision-process by exploring the actors involved and their roles as they implement strategies to adopt blockchain and to convince other actors. The outcomes will assist blockchain practitioners and researchers to have an understanding of pre-adoption decisions and stakeholder involvement. Organisations considering implementing blockchain will benefit from this research as they will know where to start, who to engage, and which stakeholders are needed during the decision-making process.

“…Quality control of fish production has been the target of several institutions, strengthening the supply chains to small scale industrialization and market access. This led to the development of suitable solar-powered infrastructure for processing, and good practices [ 42 ] such as ice production for fish preservation [ 43 ], and product traceability ( Origens Brasil ). To facilitate wildlife exploitation (fish and caiman), floating processing structures have been developed in the Mamirauá SDR, adapted to the reality of the local setting by using solar energy and treated rainwater.…”

The 2030 Agenda was set in 2015 by the United Nations, with 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Amazonian riverine people are recognized as traditional communities that have their own culture and use the local natural resources of their territories in an ancestral and traditional way. The Sustainable Development Reserve is a Brazilian protected area category which aims to ensure the protection of the natural environment while allowing the residence and the use of these lands by traditional populations. This article reports and discusses the achievements and challenges of the Sustainable Development Goals in two sustainable development reserves in Central Amazonia. The goals were evaluated in the Mamirauá and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserves, due to the large research programs developed in those areas along the past 20 years. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals have a clear connection with the mission of these sustainable development reserves in Central Amazon. Despite the many achievements conquered over the years, there are many challenges yet to overcome; and while striving to achieve the goals from the 2030 Agenda, new challenges will emerge. The current main challenges to reach the Sustainable Development Goals in the Mamirauá and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserves, in Central Amazon, are connecting to the reality of rural areas.

“…Os potes se tornaram raros ao longo dos anos, estando presentes em apenas 1% dos domicílios, sendo substituídos por garrafas plásticas de PET (30%), baldes (31%), tanque (8%) e garrafões de água mineral (7%). A existência de água gelada para consumo é prioridade das famílias e passou a ser realizada usando freezers ou gelo (PENTEADO et al, 2019), contribuindo para o abandono do uso dos potes.…”

Condições de uso e níveis de acesso domiciliar à água em comunidades rurais na AmazôniaResumo: O acesso à água é um direito humano e um Objetivo do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da ONU. Porém, em comunidades ribeirinhas da região Norte do Brasil predomina a carência de abastecimento de água e outros serviços públicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as condições de uso domiciliar de água em comunidades ribeirinhas da Amazônia Central e classificar o nível de acesso segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde. Foram avaliados dados secundários de 3.285 domicílios de áreas alagáveis e não alagáveis, na área das Reservas de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá e Amanã. Foram utilizadas estatística descritiva e análise de correspondência simples. Identificou--se que 71% da população possui nível básico de acesso à água, com captação de água de chuva e tratamento domiciliar com hipoclorito. Para melhorar o acesso é necessário investimento em melhoria da captação de água de chuva e uso de fontes complementares, com arranjos individuais (por domicílio) ou coletivos.Palavras-chave: Acesso à água, tratamento domiciliar de água, população rural, Amazônia, várzea.
