Who is poor? Analysis of social representations in an Argentine sample
Authors: Bastias Franco , Barreiro Alicia
Published: April 2023

Abstract Different organizations register alarming poverty rates in Argentina. However, there may be differences in who is considered poor according to these measurements and who is considered poor by society, from common sense knowledge. This work analyzes the social representations of people living in poverty in a sample of 605 Argentines, using the free-word association technique. The results suggest that the poor person is first understood as someone who suffers from hunger, a definition that corresponds to indigence according to the official entity that measures poverty and indigence in Argentina. However, while the core of the representation manifests a significant presence of elements of monetary poverty and its effects on nutrition (hunger), the peripheral system shows the deficit in various social rights, such as education, housing, work, and health. Following these results, it is argued that equating poverty with indigence would render the situation of millions of people in Argentina invisible.

Published: April 2023

Abstract The Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) assesses personality through the big five factor model model (FFM). This study aimed to verify whether the internal structure of the BFI-2 is corroborated in a Brazilian sample. Participants were 908 cisgender adults, aged between 17 and 93 years, 532 of whom were women. Confirmatory factor analysis and Exploratory structural equation modeling were performed with the BFI-2. The 15 facets of personality resulted in adequate fit and reliability, mainly for the respondents under 60 years of age. We conclude that the BFI-2 presents evidence of preliminary validity based on its internal structure, although further validity studies are required with the instrument, to testify its psychometric quality.

Abstract The goal of this study is to review the overall prevalence, burden, and distribution of the dengue disease in Pakistan from 2000 to 2019. Literature was searched using different search engines like Google scholar, PubMed, etc. providing the keywords “Dengue disease/infection, Dengue virus, DENV, DF/DHF/ DSS Pakistan”. All the published research papers/reports on the dengue virus over the period 2000 to 2019 were studied and selected data were summarized using MS Excel for windows such as total cases, age wise, gender, DENV serotype distribution, total DHF, and DSS patients. The literature providing insufficient data was excluded. The total number of cases reported during 2000-19 were 201,269. The maximum number of cases during the mentioned literature survey period was reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) (23.3%) followed by Punjab (3.8%) and Sindh (1.9%). The majority of dengue-infected cases were reported as Dengue fever (74.4%) followed by DHF (24.1%) and DSS (1.5%). Overall the deaths during the mentioned literature survey were 1082, of which the maximum mortalities were reported from KP (N=248) followed by Punjab (N=220). DENV remains a major public health problem in Pakistan and seems to remain endemic for a long time. The total prevalence of dengue infection is increased accordingly with time from 2000 to 2019. Moreover, all the four serotypes exist in Pakistan with increased mortalities.
Nitrogen demand and agro-environmental efficiency in Brazilian cereal production
Authors: Santos E. A. , Cunha D. A. , Travassos G. F.
Published: April 2023

Abstract This paper aims to analyze the main factors that explain the demand for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in Brazil, as well as the efficiency of their use. In addition, the research sought to relate the use of fertilizers with nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Demand was estimated using the two-stage least squares method (2SLS). Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was calculated using an agri-environmental index. The results indicated that demand of nitrogen fertilizers is positively affected by the price of cereal, cereal production and the number of fertilizers used in the past harvest. The calculated NUE presented an average value of 53% in the 1994-2018 period, indicating inefficient use of N. Emissions from nitrogen fertilization grew 59% for the same period. The increasing and / or inadequate rates of fertilizer use have resulted in agro-environmental inefficiency, that is, a decrease in NUE and an increase in N2O emissions. Public policies that guarantee more agricultural technical assistance and rational alternative forms of nitrogen use could contribute to optimizing the synthetic doses applied in production, minimizing adverse environmental effects without generating economic losses to farmers and Brazilian agricultural production.

Published: April 2023

Abstract This study aimed to search parasites in 333 ornamental fish from five Brazilian states (Ceará, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina). Fish were sent from eight farms located in the municipalities of Fortaleza, Patrocínio do Muriaé, São Francisco do Glória, Cascavel, Timbó, Iguape, Jacareí and Mairinque. All fish received anesthesia earlier to euthanasia procedures. After the search for parasites, it was verified that 70.6% (235/333) of fishes were infected by at least one type of parasite, being 12 types of parasites identified: monogeneans, digenean metacercariae, cestodes, nematodes, Lernaea cyprinacea, trichodinids, Piscinoodinium pillulare, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, diplomonad flagellates, Ichthyobodo sp., Chilodonella sp., and Tetrahymena sp. The proportion of infected fishes among the farms is compared through statistical tests, besides, animal handling adopted in each farm is also discussed. The importance of ensuring fish health in order to make the ornamental freshwater fish industry economically viable and reduce losses in production is highlighted.

Abstract Information from Pereskia aculeata Miller (Cactaceae) responses regarding the portion of the stem cuttings branch parental plants and the shading level need to be investigated in order to establish techniques for their producing seedlings. We aimed was to evaluate the effect of cutting types and shading levels in the production of P. aculeata seedlings. We studied three cutting types, collected from different portions of the stem cuttings branch: herbaceous, semi-hardwood, and hardwood, which were arranged under two shading levels: 0% (full sun) or 50% (shade). The selected parent plants had an adequate and vigorous phytosanitary aspect. After 90 days after the cuttings, the seedlings were evaluated regarding survival, growth indicators, biomass production and partitioning, and allometric indices. Seedlings from hardwood cuttings and produced under 0% shading showed higher survival. The largest number of sprouts occurred in seedlings of semi-hardwood and hardwood cuttings. The highest leaf area values occurred in seedlings of semi-hardwood and hardwood cuttings under 0% shading. Seedlings from hardwood cuttings had higher biomass allocation in the roots under 50% shading. Seedlings of herbaceous and semi-hardwood portion allocated values ≥ 70% of the biomass in the aerial part. Seedlings of species are able to adjust to different shading levels as a plasticity mechanism. For the production of P. aculeata seedlings, the hardwood portion of the stem cuttings branch under full sun cultivation is recommended. In addition, semi-hardwood cuttings grown under 50% shading can also be used for seedlings production.

Abstract Heavy metal toxicity is becoming an increasing concern for environmental, human and animal health. The current research analyzed the lead (Pb) contamination in the food chain under three different irrigation sources (ground, canal, and wastewater). Soil, plant and animal samples were collected from the Jhang district of Pakistan and processed with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Lead concentration varied in the samples as: 5.22-10.73 mg/kg in soil, 2.46-10.34 mg/kg in forages and 0.736-2.45 mg/kg in animal samples. The observed lead concentration in forage and animal blood samples was higher than the standard limits. The pollution load index (0.640-1.32) in soil showed that lead contamination mainly took place at the wastewater irrigating sites. Bio-concentration factor values (0.313-1.15) were lower than one in all samples except Zea mays, showing that lead metal was actively taken up by Zea mays tissues from the soil. Enrichment factor values ranged from 0.849-3.12, showing a moderate level of lead enrichment. Daily intake and health risk index varied between 0.004-0.020 mg/kg/day and 0.906-4.99, respectively. All the samples showed maximum lead concentration at the wastewater irrigating site compared to the ground or canal water application sites. These results recommended that consistent application of wastewater for forage irrigation must be avoided to prevent health hazards associated with lead in the animal and human food chain. Government must implement adequate strategies to protect the animal and human health from the harms of toxic heavy metals.

ABSTRACT: In this retrospective study, the clinical and anatomopathological findings of fungal diseases in dogs and cats in Northeastern Brazil are described. During the study period, 6,827 histopathological examinations (4,090 necropsies and 2,737 biopsies) of companion animals were reviewed, and fungal infections were diagnosed in 54 cases. Of these, 32 cases were diagnosed in cats and 22 in dogs. Sporotrichosis was the most prevalent mycosis (19/54), followed by dermatophytosis (9/54), cryptococcosis (8/54), candidiasis (7/54), and phaeohyphomycosis (4/54). Other diseases had two cases each, including aspergillosis, mucormycosis, and histoplasmosis, whereas coccidioidomycosis occurred once. Mycoses were diagnosed through microscopic lesions associated with the histomorphological characteristics of the agent, as evidenced by routine and special histochemical stains. They were occasionally confirmed by immunohistochemistry and microbiological cultivation. This retrospective study showed that despite being uncommon, fungal diseases are important causes of death in dogs and cats in the region, with cats being the most affected species and sporotrichosis being the most prevalent mycosis. Clinical signs were correlated with the portal of entry of the infection associated with localized or disseminated superficial and deep skin lesions or affecting parenchymal organs, especially in systemic infections. Microscopic lesions were mainly characterized by pyogranulomatous inflammation associated with fungal structures. In dogs, mycoses occurred mainly owing to an immunological impairment secondary to canine distemper virus co-infection.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT: Bovine paratuberculosis causes chronic, incurable diarrhea and weight loss, resulting in decreased cattle production. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), an obligate intracellular mycobactin-dependent mycobacterium that replicates slowly in the host and has heightened environmental resistance. In countries where the disease is found and the damage has been quantified, direct and indirect economic losses are extremely high. Local epidemiological data is of paramount importance for the implementation of control programs. Our objective was to verify whether paratuberculosis is present in commercial dairy herds in different mesoregions of RS. Therefore, a prospective, cross-sectional and observational study was performed on dairy cattle from five mesoregions of the RS state, Brazil. Milk samples taken from individual cows on commercial farms were tested using indirect ELISA tests and classified as negative, suspicious, or positive. In herds containing at least one positive cow, we conducted convenience sampling of feces directly from the rectal ampulla to identify MAP through PCR. Of the 362 cows tested, 20 were seroreactive for paratuberculosis from two mesoregions. The PCR tests were all positive; cows with a negative ELISA and positive PCR results probably indicate that the MAP was ingested and eliminated without causing infection. We found that paratuberculosis is likely endemic in the northwest and northeast mesoregions.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Purpose: This article analyzes the Brazilian scenario of work mediated by digital platforms (digiwork). Originality/value: Digiwork represents an alternative work arrangement to the traditional long-term employment model, with the highest growth rate in recent years. Details of this scenario are still unclear regarding the quantity and diversity of the offered products and services and the number of individuals involved. This article presents information and reflections that contribute to understanding these data in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach: This is an analytical-exploratory study. Scientific articles were used to discuss technological, political, and socioeconomic influences that supported the emergence of digiwork and its effects on the labor market and the workforce. In order to support this discussion, a documental analysis of websites and mobile application software was carried out, allowing for a qualitative-quantitative mapping of Brazil’s current digital intermediation platforms. Findings: More than 100 companies operating in the country were identified as offering 11 types of services in this business, indicating a growing trend. A diversification movement was also observed, absorbing professionals with different kinds of training and schooling levels. Such growth is in line with the political-economic trend of encouraging the loosening of labor relations, which individualizes and informalizes the bonds, emphasizing the need for debate on the regulation of this work arrangement and more research to investigate its repercussions on the worker’s health, also considering the heterogeneity present in this new class.

RESUMO Objetivo: Este artigo analisa o cenário brasileiro do trabalho mediado por plataformas digitais (digitrab). Originalidade/valor: O digitrab representa o arranjo laboral alternativo ao modelo de emprego tradicional de longo termo que mais tem crescido nos últimos anos. Entretanto, não conhecemos com clareza esse cenário, nem em termos de quantidade nem de diversidade de produtos e serviços ofertados, muito menos quanto ao volume de indivíduos envolvidos. O presente artigo apresenta informações e reflexões que colaboram para a compreensão desses dados no Brasil. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Trata-se de um estudo analítico-exploratório. Artigos científicos foram utilizados para discutir as influências tecnológicas, políticas e socioeconômicas que favoreceram a emergência do digitrab e seus efeitos no mundo do trabalho e nos trabalhadores. Para sustentar tal discussão, foi feita uma análise documental de sites e aplicativos móveis (apps) que permitiu um mapeamento quali-quantitativo acerca das plataformas digitais de intermediação ativas no Brasil atualmente. Resultados: Foram identificadas mais de 100 empresas atuantes no país que oferecem 11 tipos de serviços nessa modalidade de negócio, com indicação de tendência de crescimento. Observou-se também um movimento de diversificação, absorvendo profissionais de diferentes tipos de formação e níveis educacionais. Tal crescimento se alinha à tendência político-econômica de incentivo ao afrouxamento das relações de trabalho, que individualiza e informaliza os vínculos, enfatizando a neces-sidade de debate sobre a regulamentação desse arranjo de trabalho e de mais pesquisas que se debrucem a investigar suas repercussões sobre a saúde do trabalhador, considerando, ainda, a heterogeneidade presente nessa nova classe.

Abstract Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of perceived stress and verify the associated factors in pregnant women assisted by Family Health teams in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais - Brazil. Methods: epidemiological, cross-sectional, and analytical study, nested in a population-based cohort. Sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics and physical and mental health conditions were assessed. The stress level was estimated by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted, followed by the Poisson Regression model with robust variance. Results: a total of 1,279 pregnant women participated. The prevalence of high-stress levels was 23.5% (CI95%=20.8%-26.2%). The outcome was more prevalent among pregnant women aged above 35 years (PR=1.38; CI95%=1.09-1.74) and less than or equal to 19 (PR=1.41; CI95%=1.13-1.77); without a partner (PR=1.33; CI95%=1.09-1.62); with low social support (PR=1.42; CI95%=1.18-1.70); multiparous (PR=1.30; CI95%=1.02-1.66); with current unplanned pregnancy (PR=1.23; CI95%=1.00-1.52); urinary tract infection (PR=1.35; CI95%=1.12-1.62); high level of anxiety symptoms (PR=1.42; CI95%=1.18-1.71); severe (PR=4.74; CI95%=3.60-6.26) and moderate (PR=3.19; CI95%=2.31-4.39) symptoms of depression; and neurological complaints (PR=1.77; CI95%=1.27-2.47). Conclusions: there was a significant prevalence of high perceived stress among pregnant women, an outcome associated with sociodemographic, clinical, obstetric, and emotional factors, which demonstrates the need for comprehensive care of pregnant women’s health.

Resumo Objetivos: avaliar a taxa de sucesso da indução do trabalho de parto e determinantes de um resultado bem sucedido. Métodos: estudo de coorte retrospectivo de parturientes que submeteram a indução de trabalho de parto entre 2006 e 2015. Os dados foram recuperados dos registros médicos e a regressão logística multivariada foi utilizada para avaliar os determinantes da indução de trabalho de parto bem sucedida. Resultados: a taxa de indução de trabalho de parto foi de 10,9%. Das 940 mulheres analisadas, seiscentas e cinquenta e seis mulheres (69,8%) tiveram um parto vaginal bem sucedido. A indução de trabalho de parto nas 39-40 semanas (OR=2,70; IC95%=1,17-6,36), 41 semanas (OR=2,44; IC95%=1,14-5,28), peso fetal estimado entre 2,5 e 3,4kg OR=4,27; IC95%=1,96-5,59) e peso fetal estimado entre 3,5-3,9kg (OR=5,45; IC95%=2,81-10,60) aumentou as probabilidades de conseguir um parto vaginal. Conclusões: as nossas conclusões sugerem que as 39, 40 e 41 semanas são idades gestacionais ideais para a indução do trabalho de parto no que diz respeito ao sucesso do parto vaginal. Além disso, o peso fetal estimado entre 2,5kg e 3,9kg favorece o parto vaginal bem sucedido.

Resumo: A doença Covid19, resultante da contaminação pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, causou efeitos na economia, sobretudo no setor agrícola, que se tornou mais suscetível à elevação de custos não percebidos facilmente. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto nos custos de aquisição de insumos, ocasionados pela pandemia do Covid-19, em pequenas propriedades rurais familiares, sob a ótica da metodologia Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). A metodologia empregada nesta investigação foi a do estudo de caso genérico em 12 propriedades rurais familiares, situadas na Região Sul do Brasil, com dados coletados entre abril de 2017 e março de 2020. Foram analisados quatro insumos comuns a todas as propriedades. Os resultados demonstraram que houve um acréscimo de 39,47% nos custos de aquisição dos insumos, equivalente a um aumento médio ponderado de 34,7%, o que impactou negativamente no resultado monetário das propriedades familiares. Concluiu-se que as propriedades foram afetadas pelos efeitos da pandemia no que se refere à compra de insumos, principalmente com o aumento dos custos de aquisição, em decorrência do desabastecimento dos suprimentos essenciais para as operações básicas das pequenas propriedades rurais.
Transactions in Paraná’s dairy AGS: a study based on transaction and measurement costs

Published: April 2023

Abstract: This article aimed to understand how governance structures and the search for value protection influence transaction costs in the relationship between dairy producers and processors in Paraná, Brazil. These aspects are treated by Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and by Measurement Cost Economics (MCE). For data collection, 30 semi-structured interviews were conducted and Content Analysis was used for data treatment and results analysis. For the theory, the study contributed demonstrating that although the alignment between transaction attributes and governance structures contribute for value protection as proposed by TCE, in the absence of complete information, this alignment is still not enough to guarantee economic rights, as predicted by MCE. Empirically, it contributed suggesting the use of formal contracts and the importance of formal information available to milk producers and processors to improve their results in the activity. Thus, considering the governance structures in Paraná’s dairy AGS, it is predicted that even if the hybrid structure is adequate, under TCE view, due to its alignment with transaction attributes, MCE concepts help to explain why agents still need guarantee mechanisms. Those mechanisms, such as long-term relationships, normative instructions and informal agreements, attempt to protect value, given informational problems.
The house, the roads and the enclosures: the peasant ranch according to Capuxu children’s classification
Authors: Sousa Emilene Leite de
Published: April 2023

Abstract: This article is an ethnography of the peasant ranch (sítio) as classified by Capuxu children, inhabitants of the hinterlands of the Brazilian state of Paraíba. Through participant observation, informal conversations, and the drawings produced by children, they revealed classifications of the ranch that blur the classic house/garden dichotomy established by rural studies (Woortman, 1983; Heredia, 1988; Santos, 1984; Garcia Junior, 1983; Godoi, 1999), revealing the triptych of houses, roads (and their shortcuts), and enclosures. In this sense, this article contributes to childhood studies and the anthropology of children, as well as to peasant studies in Brazil. It starts from the hypothesis that rural studies have elected the house/garden dichotomy as representative of the spaces of the ranch because they have generally heard men and women. Following Schildkrout (1978), it arghues that children should always be heard lest we end up with an incomplete view of the subject under study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To implement, on health management software, electronic records of the perioperative nursing process and the stages of transoperative and immediate postoperative nursing diagnoses, based on the NANDA International taxonomy. Method: Experience report conducted from the completion of the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, which allows improvement planning with a clearer purpose, directing each stage. This study was carried out in a hospital complex in southern Brazil, using the software Tasy/Philips Healthcare. Results: For the inclusion of nursing diagnoses, three cycles were completed, predictions of expected results were established, and tasks were assigned, defining “who, what, when, and where”. The structured model covered seven possibilities of aspects, 92 symptoms and signs to be evaluated, and 15 nursing diagnoses to be used in the transoperative and immediate postoperative periods. Conclusion: The study allowed implementing electronic records of the perioperative nursing process on health management software, including transoperative and immediate postoperative nursing diagnoses, as well as nursing care.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand what undergraduate Nursing students from a university in southern Brazil know about trans people. Method: a descriptive study with a qualitative approach based on interviews conducted with 19 undergraduate Nursing students enrolled from the eighth to the tenth period of the course. Data collection took place in October and November 2021. Three thematic categories emerged from the thematic analysis, namely: the undergraduate course has to speak about this!; I don't know what it is about; and What is known and said about trans people. Results: the students showed insecurity in the care of trans people because this content is not regularly taught in the curriculum. They denote not knowing how to welcome, care for, respect specificities and treat them by their social name, as well as difficulties taking care of this population group, both in the present time and in the future. In addition to that, few of them had the opportunity of undergoing this experience in the academic practice fields. The content is taught in a single academic discipline that deals with sexuality in general. Conclusion: lack of knowledge about sexual diversity is a limiting factor in the health care provided to this population group. Certain weakness is identified in the teaching-learning process when not relating the reality of the trans population to their health demands.

Published: April 2023

Abstract The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia. When evaluating the further prognosis of MCI, the occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms, particularly aggressive and impulsive behavior, may play an important role. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between aggressive behavior and cognitive dysfunction in patients diagnosed with MCI. Methods: The results are based on a 7-year prospective study. At the time of inclusion in the study, participants, recruited from an outpatient clinic, were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI). A reassessment was performed after 1 year using the MMSE scale in all patients. The time of next MMSE administration was depended on the clinical condition of patients took place at the end of follow-up, that is, at the time of diagnosis of the dementia or after 7 years from inclusion when the criteria for dementia were not met. Results: Of the 193 patients enrolled in the study, 75 were included in the final analysis. Patients who converted to dementia during the observation period exhibited a greater severity of symptoms in each of the assessed CMAI categories. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between the global result of CMAI and the results of the physical nonaggressive and verbal aggressive subscales with cognitive decline during the first year of observation. Conclusions: Despite several limitations to the study, aggressive and impulsive behaviors seem to be an unfavorable prognostic factor in the course of MCI.

Published: April 2023

Abstract Delirium is a common disorder in intensive care units, being associated with greater morbidity and mortality. However, in neonatal intensive care units, delirium is rarely diagnosed, due to the low familiarity of the neonatologist with the subject and the difficulties in the applicability of diagnostic questionnaires. This case report aimed to assess the presence of this disorder in this group of patients and identify the difficulties encountered in the diagnosis and treatment. We report the case of a premature newborn with necrotizing enterocolitis during hospitalization and underwent three surgical approaches. The newborn exhibited intense irritability, having received high doses of fentanyl, dexmedetomidine, clonidine, ketamine, phenytoin, and methadone, without the control of the symptoms. A diagnosis of delirium was then made and treatment with quetiapine was started, with a complete reversal of the symptoms. This is the first case reported in Brazil and the first describing the withdrawal of the quetiapine.

Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é levantar reflexões sobre a prática neuropsicológica infantil via internet baseada na nossa experiência prática vivenciada no período, relacionando com as referências teóricas da abordagem histórico-cutural e outros trabalhos que discorrem sobre as particularidades dessa modalidade de atendimento. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em fontes reconhecidas, como SciELO e Google Acadêmico, utilizando-se marcadores como “neuropsicologia on-line” e “teleneuropsicologia”, entre outros, em português, inglês e espanhol. Os trabalhos encontrados foram utilizados como fundamento para discutir as ideias aqui apresentadas, a partir da experiência dos autores durante esse período. Considera-se que os neuropsicólogos precisam enfrentar a possível necessidade do trabalho on-line, considerando que as situações vividas durante a pandemia tendem a aumentar a necessidade de avaliações e intervenções neuropsicológicas. Ao mesmo tempo, se prevê que essa via de trabalho deve se intensificar após o isolamento, dentro do que se tem denominado como “o novo normal”. Para isso, é essencial que haja esforço por parte da comunidade neuropsicológica para mostrar como essa área de trabalho pode ser útil para crianças, seus pais e professores. Conclui-se que é preciso ter a noção de que nenhuma via ou metodologia de trabalho é absolutamente completa, sendo essencial a instrumentalização das vantagens e desvantagens de todas elas.
Encarceramento Feminino: um Debate entre Criminologia e Perspectivas Feministas
Authors: Nunes Caroline Cabral , Macedo João Paulo
Published: April 2023

Resumo Este ensaio teórico-reflexivo tem como objetivo discutir sobre as contribuições dos estudos da criminologia e sua crítica para as diversas formas de aprisionamento feminino, e mais atualmente para o encarceramento em massa no sistema prisional, além de abrir espaço para o debate sobre as diferentes perspectivas feministas e as relações com os estudos criminológicos, sobretudo com os posicionamentos da chamada criminologia crítica. Reconhecem-se importantes avanços e conquistas feministas no debate sobre a estruturação masculinizada do direito penal e do seu fazer jurídico, mas também a manutenção de diversas formas de violência de gênero que configuram um sistema penal antropocêntrico, seletivo, racista e discriminatório. Indica-se a urgência de estudos interseccionais que considerem as particularidades e reinvindicações das mulheres no cárcere e suas formas de militância, sobretudo diante de população carcerária feminina composta majoritariamente por mulheres negras, pobres e periféricas. Faz-se visível a necessidade de uma análise dos fatores que atravessam o encarceramento feminino por uma ótica feminista plural, adequada às realidades que se estudam e atenta às múltiplas perspectivas que podem existir dentro do feminismo.

Abstract The COVID-19 exacerbated violence against women. This study evaluated the possible efficacy of using advertising pieces containing the hypocrisy paradigm, the contrast principle, and moral disengagement mechanisms to prevent and reduce violence against women. We conducted two studies which included exclusively men as participants. Study 1 (n=400; M age =21.69; Me=20.00; SD=5.79) used traditional pieces on violence against women, manipulating only their moral disengagement phrases. Results suggest that the phrase combined with traditional images is either ineffective or has a rebound effect. Study 2 (n=303; M age =21.38; Me=20.00; SD=4.94) manipulated the image in Study 1, showing more effective results regarding hostility. However, physical aggression showed no significant differences. Finally, some pieces generated a rebound effect, increasing participants’ self-perception of aggression. The use of advertising can act as an ally or an enemy of public policies if their effectiveness lacks proper testing.
ARTIGO-PARECER: A APRESENTAÇÃO DE CONCEITOS EM UM LIVRO DE DIVULGAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA INFANTIL: o caso Isaac no Mundo das Partículas
Authors: MAXIMO MARTA
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: O presente texto consiste em um artigo-parecer sobre o artigo original A apresentação de conceitos em um livro de divulgação científica infantil: o caso Isaac no Mundo das Partículas. A principal motivação para a escrita deste artigo-parecer é contribuir para o aprofundamento da temática da divulgação científica para crianças por intermédio do livro Isaac no Mundo das Partículas, escrito por Elika Takimoto. A seguinte pergunta norteou a investigação: como o livro Isaac no Mundo das Partículas pode colaborar para o desenvolvimento da criatividade e da imaginação das crianças na perspectiva histórico-cultural? As reflexões teóricas realizadas, baseadas fortemente na obra vigotskiana Imaginação e criatividade na infância, permitiram concluir, entre outras considerações, que a leitura ou a escuta da história do livro de divulgação científica amplia a experiência da criança, na direção de criar bases para o desenvolvimento da sua imaginação, que será necessária à aprendizagem de ciências.
A INFLUÊNCIA DOS CONTEXTOS ESCOLARES NA CONSTRUÇÃO DOS SABERES EXPERIENCIAIS DE PROFESSORES DE CIÊNCIAS/BIOLOGIA
Authors: Gatti Mariana Donateli , Freguglia Junia
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender como os contextos escolares influenciam a construção dos saberes experienciais docentes de professores de Ciências/Biologia. Baseando-nos nos estudos de Wertsch sobre a ação mediada, consideramos que os saberes experienciais são construídos na tensão entre os sujeitos e as ferramentas culturais por eles empregadas. Produzimos os dados por meio de narrativas de um grupo focal em que os professores discutiram aspectos relacionados ao planejamento, à prática e à avaliação do trabalho docente. Os resultados evidenciam que aspectos tais como organização do tempo de planejamento, disponibilidade de recursos e burocracia interferem na possibilidade de produção de trabalhos interdisciplinares e de reflexões compartilhadas; na adaptação constante do que será ensinado; e no desenvolvimento da autonomia docente. Por fim, sugerimos que mobilizar esses saberes em programas de formação de professores contribui para a construção de uma profissionalidade docente.
ARTIGO-PARECER: VALIDAÇÃO DE TESTE EM TRÊS CAMADAS PARA MAPEAR PERFIS EPISTEMOLÓGICOS DE DENSIDADE
Authors: CAVALCANTI CLÁUDIO JOSÉ DE HOLANDA
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: Este trabalho é um artigo-parecer derivado do processo de avaliação do artigo original de Melo e Amantes (2022b), que usa um teste de três camadas para avaliar os perfis epistemológicos dos alunos sobre o conceito de densidade, o primeiro artigo publicado na revista Ensaio, cujos dados suplementares de pesquisa foram disponibilizados publicamente no repositório Scielo Dataverse Ensaio. Começamos o debate explicando o paradigma da Ciência Aberta, que é um tema fundamental deste artigo-parecer. Após uma breve revisão de diferentes perspectivas para investigar como os alunos aprendem conceitos científicos, são abordadas a perspectiva sociocultural e cognitivista clássica da aprendizagem, destacando as diferenças centrais entre elas nas investigações sobre o aprendizado de conceitos científicos, enfatizando a importância das formas modernas de inventários conceituais para avaliar concepções dos alunos em amostras maiores. Após uma discussão sobre o método adotado pelas autoras, o modelo de Rasch, e a (falsa) dicotomia entre pesquisas qualitativas e quantitativas, a política de Dados Abertos foi mais bem detalhada para esclarecer suas potencialidades. Para ilustrar essas noções, é dado um exemplo da relevância de variáveis contextuais em um bem conhecido programa de avaliação em larga escala.
Máscaras pandêmicas: uma revisão sistemática sobre os impactos da máscara no reconhecimento das emoções
Authors: Dantas Thiago , Tejada Julian , Freitag Raquel Meister Ko.
Published: April 2023

Resumo O uso de máscaras pandêmicas é uma das principais mudanças comportamentais trazidas pela pandemia de COVID-19, o que possivelmente tem prejudicado o Reconhecimento de Expressões Faciais (REF). Esta revisão sistemática tem como objetivo reunir e comparar metodologias e resultados de experimentos, publicados entre 2019 e 2022, que avaliam o impacto das máscaras pandêmicas no REF. Para tanto, este estudo baseou-se e dividiu-se nas recomendações do PRISMA, em três etapas: identificação, triagem e elegibilidade. A primeira etapa foi dedicada à escolha dos descritores, do recorte temporal e à aplicação destes nas bases de dados escolhidas. Na segunda etapa, foi feita a leitura dos títulos, resumos e palavras-chave, de modo a selecionar artigos que estejam de acordo com os critérios de inclusão. Os artigos selecionados nesta etapa foram colocados na plataforma Connected Papers, com a finalidade de explorar referências não identificadas via bases de dados. Na última fase, foi realizada a leitura integral e a síntese dos estudos. Finalmente, foram eleitos 11 artigos cujos resultados mostraram que as máscaras pandêmicas prejudicam o REF de modo heterogêneo. Expressões como felicidade e nojo, que dependem da região da boca para serem discriminadas, são prejudicadas. A tristeza também é prejudicada pelas máscaras pandêmicas, confundindo-se frequentemente com rostos neutros e vice-versa. Para que as descobertas sejam mais generalizáveis, os próximos estudos precisam adotar tarefas padronizadas com todas as expressões básicas e incluir expressões não básicas, como vergonha. Além disso, são recomendados a implementação de estímulos dinâmicos com variação étnica e o controle acerca do tempo de exposição.
Life Stories of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs
Authors: Cavalcante Roberta Feitosa de Lucena , Sousa Filho José Milton de
Published: April 2023

Abstract This research aimed to analyze the influence of the antecedents of the behavior of social entrepreneurs (SE) through their life stories. For this, the dimensions of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) were used, which cover personal attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, in addition to behavioral intention. For this proposition, a basic qualitative, descriptive-exploratory research was carried out, classified as a field study. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirty Brazilian social entrepreneurs, in the form of autobiographical narratives. To analyze the data, the strategies of content analysis and the abductive method were used. In both stages, the New NVivo software was adopted. Among the results obtained, a theoretical model is presented, through dimensions, which emerged from the TPB and from the field research, characterizing these dimensions as predecessors, explaining how the life story, which acts in a transversal way, influences the antecedents of the behavior of social entrepreneurs. This study enables the advancement of discussions and the display of new perspectives on socio-environmental entrepreneurship. It is noted that this investigation contributes to filling a theoretical gap, pointed out in the literature, on the identification of characteristics and trajectories of social entrepreneurs, starting from the life story narratives, from the point of view of the entrepreneur, as a person, and not at an organizational level of institutions.
História de Vida de Empreendedores Socioambientais
Authors: Cavalcante Roberta Feitosa de Lucena , Sousa Filho José Milton de
Published: April 2023

Resumo Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar a influência dos antecedentes do comportamento dos empreendedores socioambientais (ES) por meio da história de vida. Para isso, foram utilizadas as dimensões da Teoria do Comportamento Planejado (TCP), as quais abrangem atitudes pessoais, normas subjetivas e controle comportamental percebido, além de intenção comportamental. Para tal propositura, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa básica, descritiva-exploratória, classificando-se como estudo de campo. Para a coleta de dados foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com trinta empreendedores socioambientais brasileiros, em forma de narrativas autobiográficas. Para analisar os dados, foram usadas as estratégias análise de conteúdo e o método abdutivo. Em ambas as etapas, adotou-se o software New NVivo. Dentre os resultados obtidos, permitiu-se apresentar um modelo teórico, mediante dimensões, que emergiram da TCP e da pesquisa de campo, caracterizando-se como predecessores, explicando-se como a história de vida, que age de forma transversal, influencia os antecedentes do comportamento dos empreendedores socioambientais. Este estudo permitiu o avanço das discussões e a mostra de novas perspectivas sobre o empreendedorismo socioambiental. Percebe-se que esta investigação deve contribuir para o preenchimento de uma lacuna teórica, apontada na literatura sobre a identificação de características e trajetórias dos empreendedores socioambientais, a partir das narrativas de história de vida, sobre o ponto de vista do empreendedor, enquanto pessoa, e não em um nível organizacional de instituições.
