This study aims to understand how rural women experience the expansion of oil palm crops, particularly in the Colombian Llanos region. The research will delve into the work women performed in the plantations and on their own farms. The study also wants to address how women interact with their environment (their practices, what they know about nature, how they use nature) and if that has changed because of the expansion of oil palm. Finally, the research will also explore how the government is helping those women and their families to achieve their dreams. This research is important because there is very little information about rural women living in this region in Colombia. My research will contribute to know more about their stories and highlight their important contribution to the country.
This phase 3 trial compares the effect of selumetinib versus the standard of care treatment with carboplatin and vincristine (CV) in treating patients with newly diagnosed or previously untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) that does not have a genetic abnormality called BRAFV600E mutation and is not associated with systemic neurofibromatosis type 1. Selumetinib works by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may kill tumor cells. Carboplatin and vincristine are chemotherapy drugs that work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. The overall goal of this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment of CV for patients with LGG. Another goal of this study is to compare the effects of selumetinib versus CV in subjects with LGG to find out which is better. Additionally, this trial will
