Abstract: Este artigo científico discute as práticas antirracistas sob a perspectiva do materialismo histórico dialético (MHD). Através de uma análise crítica, examinaremos como o MHD pode fornecer um arcabouço teórico para compreender e abordar as questões raciais e promover práticas antirracistas eficazes. Exploramos os fundamentos teóricos do MHD dialético e sua aplicação ao estudo das relações raciais, destacando a importância da análise das estruturas sociais, das contradições e das lutas de classes na compreensão do racismo. Além disso, apresentamos algumas estratégias e iniciativas antirracistas que estão em consonância com a abordagem escolhida para análise, destacando seu potencial para a transformação social e a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e ,igualitária.

Abstract: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a group of zinc containing metallo-enzymes involved in the formation and breakdown of carbonic acid from carbon di oxide and water. The release of proton helps to maintain acid-base balance in blood and other tissues. Of the various iso-enzymes known CA II is one of the most catalytically active form present in most tissues including erythrocytes.
CA II plays a major role in renal regulation of acid/ base homeostasis. It is involved in osteoclast-mediated bone desorption. An autosomal recessive syndrome with CA II deficiency is found mostly in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. The deficiency syndrome results in rental tubular acidosis (RTA), osteopetrosis and cerebral calcification.
