  • The Arctic Is... a Homeland Page 1 Cycles As They Follow the Animals with Which Their Lives Are Closely Involved
    A HOMELAND landscape and people It is late winter and the temperature is minus 40 degrees Celsius. The sea is frozen over for a mile from the shore. Far out on the ice a solitary hunter inches forwards towards a seal which has come up for air through a hole in the ice and is resting on the surface. In front of him he pushes a rifle hidden behind a white screen of canvas. There is no sign that there is anyone hidden behind the screen, except for a small cloud of condensation above him as he breathes. If he is skilful and lucky, the seal will not notice him until it is too late. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away inland, three reindeer herders wait on a windswept hilltop, scanning the surrounding mountains with binoculars. In the distance, they see two other herders riding reindeer and weaving their way through the thin larch trees which seem drawn with black ink against the snow on the ground. They have found part of the herd and are driving it toward the waiting men. At last, the sound of men whistling and deer grunting can be heard. The first reindeer filter through the Figure 1 Kyrnysh-Di forest island near surrounding trees, the camouflage of their fur blending closely with the Kolva-Vis river, Nenets Autonomous snow and the tress’ rough, grey-brown bark.

Gomez and Gloria Ramirez-Nieto * Microbiology and Epidemiology Research Group, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y de Zootecnia, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá 111321, Colombia; [email protected] (S.A.-M.); [email protected] (N.U.-P.); [email protected] (A.P.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +57-1-3-16-56-93 Abstract: Viruses play a primary role as etiological agents of pandemics worldwide. Although there has been progress in identifying the molecular features of both viruses and hosts, the extent of the impact these and other factors have that contribute to interspecies transmission and their relationship with the emergence of diseases are poorly understood. The objective of this review was to analyze the factors related to the characteristics inherent to RNA viruses accountable for pandemics in the last 20 years which facilitate infection, promote interspecies jump, and assist in the generation of zoonotic infections with pandemic potential. The search resulted in 48 research articles that met the inclusion criteria. Changes adopted by RNA viruses are influenced by environmental and host-related factors, which define their ability to adapt. Population density, host distribution, migration patterns, and the loss of natural habitats, among others, have been associated as factors in the virus–host interaction. This review also included a critical analysis of the Latin American context, considering its diverse and unique social, cultural, and biodiversity characteristics. The scarcity of scientific information is Citation: Alvarez-Munoz, S.; striking, thus, a call to local institutions and governments to invest more resources and efforts to the Upegui-Porras, N.; Gomez, A.P.; study of these factors in the region is key.

Nixon Now: The Courts and the Presidency After Twenty-five Years Michael Stokes Paulsent United States v. Nixon' was, and remains today, a case of enormous doctrinal and political significance-easily one of the five most important Supreme Court decisions of the last fifty years. The decision proximately led to the forced resignation of a President of the United States from office. The decision helped spawn a semi-permanent statutory regime of Independ- ent Counsel, exercising the prosecutorial power of the United States and investigating executive branch officials 2-- a regime that has fundamentally reshaped our national politics. Nixon provided not only the political context that spawned the Inde- pendent Counsel statute, but a key step in the doctrinal evolu- tion that led the Court to uphold its constitutionality, incor- rectly, fourteen years later, in Morrison v. Olson.3 United States v. Nixon also established the principle that the President possesses no constitutional immunity from com- pulsory legal process, a holding that led almost inexorably to the Supreme Court's unanimous rejection of presidential im- munity from civil litigation for non-official conduct, twenty- three years later, in Clinton v.
