Objective: Our study aimed to show a synthesis of knowledge about the urban forestry of Mato Grosso do Sul to contribute to understanding the present scenario, investigate patterns and identify gaps of knowledge. Methodology: We reviewed available articles in the leading scientific databases, crossreferences and direct contact with all municipal offices to compile and analyze the information available on urban reforestation of the municipalities. Originality/Relevance: We draw a general panorama of knowledge upon the urban forestry of the state, including qualitative and quantitative aspects relevant for integrated planning and management of the urban forestry of the municipalities. Results: Data on urban forestry were recorded for 13 municipalities, corresponding to 16.4% of the state. This information is available mainly for the northeast and the northwest, existing a big gap of knowledge for the southern region, under a strong influence of the Atlantic Forest. More than 280 plant species (56 families) have been utilized in urban afforestation, with a predominance of exotic trees. Only Moquilea tomentosa was present in all surveyed municipalities and is often the species above the recommended percentage. The critical documented problems arise from root system outcrop and conflicts with the electric and telephone lines, which can be mitigated by selection and planting adequate species, appropriate management and access to information and technologies. Management contributions: Knowing the present status of urban forestry is a fundamental prior condition for adequate planning and management, these shall occur dynamically and continuously to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our study presents a panorama of urban forestry in Mato Grosso do Sul state to subsidize those actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Systematic review of the literature on fake news and their risks for democracy and how to approach it from the perspective of informational and media competence. A review protocol was carried out and, afterwards, scientific articles were searched in two databases, Web of Science and Scientific Electronic Library Online. The recovered articles were published in several scientific areas, demonstrating the multidisciplinary nature of this topic. In addition, there was an increase in publications in 2018, indicating the currency of this subject in the academic area. Most of the studies analyzed suggest applying information and media literacy in the curricula of schools and universities. However, little has been said about the possible solutions to avoid them in the political field. In this sense, there is a knowledge gap in relation to information and media competence in the political context; thus, it becomes an opportunity for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The number of publications containing experimental data on shrinkage phenomenon of n building elements is high. In the search and selection of bibliographic material, this high number makes the work of researchers more complex and extensive. Thus, a bibliographic review, between the years 2013 and 2018, was carried out, with the topic drying shrinkage and plastic shrinkage in coating mortars. Using the procedures of the MethodiOrdinatio method, the current position of research on this topic was evaluated. Despite the growing number of researches, the disparity in the amount of research between the two types of shrinkage is notable. Most studies are about shrinkage by drying. In addition, studies related to plastic shrinkage were less relevant in the scientific field. These studies appear only in 12th place in the ranking of relevance, does not show the real importance of this type of shrinkage in the characteristics of the plastic and hardened state of the material. Thus, it is very important to fill the gaps in existing knowledge and develop tests capable of evaluating the shrinkage of the material in the plastic state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Politics is, admittedly, a relevant component of the organizational life and dynamics that, acting in a more open or concealed manner, can have a profound, constructive or harmful impact on organizational behavior. Tracing a path that encompasses the last four decades of theoretical and empirical developments of politics in organizations, this literature review intends to draw a complete and comprehensive overview of this area. To that end, besides discussing the (in)definitions of the various concepts, theoretical perspectives and streams of research, a set of questions and proposals is raised, to provide grounds for reflecting and that, attending to the present gaps of knowledge, set new agendas for future research. We hope, with this article, to reenergize an area that has registered little interest in Portugal, as well as stimulate new theoretical and empirical developments regarding politics in organizations.

This article proposes a mapping review on the topic “displaced archives". The main problem is the absence of a clear conceptual framework about this topic, existing several terms related to the same phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to explore the literature in terms of characteristics and size, identifying main concepts, theories, sources and knowledge gaps. Searches were performed in the Web of Science database. As inclusion criteria, we extracted terms from archival terminology in English and scientific articles published between 1953 and 2018 in peer reviewed journals. Methodologically, the article combines mapping review with a scoping review. Of the 160 articles, 70 were included, published between 1962 and 2018. Themes associated with decolonization and secession, armed conflict and illicit trafficking predominate, related to international and sub-national issues. Qualitative studies, specially historical analysis and case studies, prevail. New concepts such as colonial archives, seized archives and expatriated archives that are not considered in archival terminography are emerging. To conclude, the concept of "displaced archives" remains invisible to the archival community, particularly the lusophone archival community, that no scientific production on the topic was retrieved.
