Abstract:
During his life, the Rev. Dr. Orlando E. Costas made significant contributions to the literature of missiology and theology. Though he was only 45 years old at the time of his death, he personally authored over 100 books and articles, and made over thirty contributions (e.g., chapters, articles, prologues) to the books of other people from around the world. His own interests were varied, but centered mostly on mission, evangelism, and Latin America. This bibliography is an attempt to collect and record his writings, all in one place. It is offered as a tribute to his life and ministry. Whereve

Abstract:
Abstract Polygenic risk scores (PRS) quantify the genetic risk of diseases based on risk alleles in genomic loci identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). As individuals of European ancestry are overrepresented in GWAS, PRS performance may vary in individuals of different ancestries. Brazil is the largest and most populated country in Latin America, with around 43% of admixed individuals, and data on breast cancer PRS performance for this population is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the performance of a breast cancer PRS with 313 SNPs generated with Europeans in Brazilian population

In the 1950s and 1960s, over 300 families of Russian Old Believers left their country’s Far East region to move first to China and later to Latin America, fleeing mainly to Brazil and Argentina to escape persecution once the collectivization began in the Soviet Union. Subsequently, some of the families settled in Bolivia, Chile and Uruguay. There is also evidence that Russian Old Believers live in Paraguay. They have preserved their language, cultural identity and religion (Russian Old Believers in Latin America are «Bespopovtsy», meaning they reject priests), which resulted from keeping their

ABSTRACT Latin American countries, pioneered by Chile, have launched bold old age pension reforms. While these reforms may address issues of financial sustainability of the pension systems, their most valuable contribution is related to political economy aspects as they avoid perverse redistribution within the system and minimise the risk of government appropriation. On the negative side, Chilean inspired reforms represent a costly approach to reform; they may lead to concentration within the industry and increase risks faced by the individual.

Despite increased average adoption, sizable gaps remain both between countries and within countries. At the consumer level, factors associated with
