“…De acordo com Bradshaw & Borchers (2000), a ideia de que uma maior certeza pode ser obtida baseia-se na suposição errônea de que a incerteza é finita. Se a incerteza é parte inerente da ciência, indicando para os cientistas um caminho de novos desafios e superações, para as políticas públicas, ela tende a gerar insegurança e indecisão (Litre, 2014).…”

Com foco nos agricultores familiares do Semiárido nordestino – um dos segmentos da população brasileira mais vulnerável às mudanças e às variabilidades climáticas – este artigo apresenta o processo de elaboração e de divulgação de uma cartilha educativa, criada de maneira colaborativa, para compartilhar as percepções desses agricultores sobre os riscos climáticos. A cartilha também visou divulgar opções de estratégias adaptativas desenvolvidas pelos próprios atores locais. Uma equipe de pesquisa interdisciplinar, integrante da sub-rede Mudanças Climáticas e Desenvolvimento Regional (MCDR/Rede CLIMA), conduziu 1.140 entrevistas semiestruturadas em quatro áreas do Semiárido brasileiro: Seridó Potiguar-RN, Gilbués-PI, Juazeiro-BA e Chapada do Araripe-CE. Os questionários aplicados levantaram, entre outros, dados sobre as percepções dos agricultores familiares a respeito das mudanças do clima, seus valores culturais e suas expectativas a respeito do futuro dos seus modos de vida rurais. A partir dessas informações, criou-se uma cartilha educativa para restituir os dados coletados. Privilegiando o diálogo e a troca de saberes ou, nas palavras de Habermas, “a negociação da definição de situação”, o instrumento de comunicação escolhido partiu do pressuposto de que as comunidades tendem a confiar em novas informações quando estas possuem, na sua percepção, relevância, credibilidade e legitimidade. Os resultados gerais da experiência demonstraram que possíveis barreiras sociais e culturais (tais como a incompreensão inicial entre cientistas e usuários do conhecimento) podem ser superadas por meio de ações colaborativas entre a academia, os tomadores de decisão e os usuários finais. A elaboração da cartilha encorajou o trabalho horizontal para identificar riscos climáticos e possíveis medidas de adaptação.

“…This scenario is especially guided by cultural conventions of hierarchy and power relations, thereby positioning women in a type of shadow of the partner. In different global contexts, it is recognized that women's performance in the field is fundamental for the maintenance of productive family systems; however, depending on the sociocultural relations of which they belong, they are little valued or recognized in their decision-making potential, as found, for example, in Uruguay (COURDIN;LITRE;CORREA, 2014;LITRE, 2015), Mexico (CAVALLOTTI VÁZQUEZ et al, 2013;LISBOA;LUSA, 2010) and Brazil (HERRERA, 2019;MORAES, 2020;MATTE;BOSCARDIN, 2016;SPANEVELLO et al, 2021). In particular, rural women are herein understood as those who have their lives intertwined with the rural environment's productive, reproductive, and sociocultural aspects; they are also identified in the literature as women farmers or rural women (SALES, 2007).…”

This article explores the potential of dialogue networks as tools for valuing rural women and overcoming the traditional marginalization of rural women in the countryside. The guiding hypothesis is that when given opportunities to co-produce solutions in a participatory manner and an enabling environment, women can articulate and express their challenges and visualize desirable futures. The results confirm this hypothesis to the extent that women experience and execute these premises in the established spaces of dialogue. The recommendations are for the promotion of actions and policies that provide environments in which women can reframe their role in society and the family.

This study provides a set of tools for conceptualising, evaluating and communicating uncertainty in forensic science. Given that the concept of uncertainty is one that transcends disciplinary boundaries, an interdisciplinary configurative review was carried out incorporating the disciplines of medicine, environmental science and economics, in order to identify common themes which could have valuable applications to the discipline of forensic science. Critical Interpretive Synthesis was used to develop sub-synthetic and synthetic constructs which interpreted and synthesised the underlying evidence and codes. This study provides three toolkits, one each for conceptualisation, evaluation and communication. The study identified an underlying theme concerning the obstacles that would need to be overcome for the effective application of these toolkits and achieving effective conceptualisation, evaluation and communication of uncertainty in forensic science to lay-stakeholders. These toolkits offer a starting point for developing the conversation for achieving greater transparency in the communication of uncertainty. They also have the potential to offer stakeholders enhanced understanding of the nuances and limitations of forensic science evidence and enable more transparent evaluation and scrutiny of the reliability, relevance and probative value of forensic materials in a crime reconstruction.
