Full Democracies are also often international references in women's participation in politics. The Brazilian context, in turn, presents a profound problem of inequalities in political representation: in the Chamber of Deputies, of the 513 deputies there are only 77 women, with only one indigenous woman and 13 black women. Contrary to academic mobilizations and the recent achievements of women's movements in Latin America, the Brazilian political parties continue to bet on silencing women to build power. In the 90 years of the female vote and being an election year in Brazil, it is urgent to reflect on the passage from voter to elected.

The reputation of a university involves the market understanding of strategic positioning in the educational market, before the student body, faculty, employees, residents, investors, etc. The objective of this study refers to the evaluation of the reputation of a Brazilian private university (@UNI), from the perspective of place branding management theories, with the basis and refinement of measurement scales from previous studies. Place branding is established in the literature, mainly international, as being of an interdisciplinary nature, as it touches themes beyond marketing, such as communication, strategy, international business, and sustainability. As a result of our study, two dimensions were identified: University Brand Reputation and the University's Regional Impact. It is intended that the contribution of this study provides the advance in the production of knowledge about brand university and in generating insights for new studies and/or strategic implications in educational management, through actions and activities of place branding.

President Jair Bolsonaro seems to be somewhat confused on how to tackle the Ukraine-Russia conflict in a way that aligns with his interests. This essay discusses his new move on framing the conflict as an opportunity to reduce Brazilian dependency on fertilizing exports. This framing resulted in the approval of urgent character for processing the lar project PL 190-2020, which will open indigenous territory for a mining concession. If the law is approved, this can put the indigenous communities in bigger threat as well as push for an unsustainable model of extractivism development within Amazon.
