Authors: Barroso Sabrina Martins , Ferreira Heloísa Gonçalves , Araujo Felipe Costa
Published: December 2021

Abstract This paper aimed mainly to investigate the relationships between Brazilian Loneliness Scale (UCLA-BR) and the levels of depression, anxiety and stress in Brazilian college students. These concepts were assessed using validated scales (Patient Health Questionnaire - PHQ-9, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - DASS-21, Beck Anxiety Inventory - BAI and Lipp Stress Symptom Inventory - ISSL). A total of 325 college students participated and responded all the instruments. Descriptive, correlational and group differences analyzes were conducted. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress varied depending on the instrument used. UCLA-BR presented evidence of validity based on relationships with depression, anxiety and stress, especially depression (assessed by DASS-21). Analysis of measurement scales can help to understand aspects of college students’ mental health.

Authors: Grazziotin Jucelaine Bier Di Domenico , Scortegagna Silvana Alba
Published: December 2021

Abstract This study sought evidence of validity of the Zulliger method to evaluate cognitive processes in elderly and long-lived adults and to verify the relationship between cognition and external variables. Participated 142 subjects, aged between 18 and 96 years old. The Zulliger Comprehensive System (ZSC), Mini-Mental State Examination and sociodemographic protocols were used as of data collection. The older and long-lived adults presented a significant decrease in mediation (X-%, XA%, P) and abstract reasoning (M) when compared to young and middle-aged adults. Education and socioeconomic status (SES) demonstrated significant and positive correlations with cognitive processes (R, ZF, W, M, DQ+ and Intellectualization). The findings are fundamental to psychological practice and to directing measures for cognitive preservation in human aging.

Authors: BUENO Márjory de Camillis , JOCHIMS Ana Maria Keller , BEHLING Estela Beatriz
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Objective Describe the dietary intake of children and adolescents submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods Data from 0 to 19-year-old patients’ medical records who were submitted to the procedure from January 2012 to September 2017 were used. These medical records provided anthropometric, food intake control and symptoms data for three moments: three days before infusion (M1), the infusion day (M2), and 25 days after the cell infusion (M3). This study was approved by the Ethics in Research Committee (17-0267). Results The patients presented weight loss (p>0.001) and a decrease in body mass index (p>0.001) in M1 versus M2 and M3. The means of calorie intake (p=0.031), protein (p=0.006), lipid (p=0.017), dietary fiber (p=0.035), calcium (p=0.005), iron (p=0.012), and sodium (p=0.022) had a reduction from M1 to M2 and an increase from M2 to M3. There was a decrease in mean intake of carbohydrates and calories per kilo from M1 to M2 and an increase from M2 to M3. The nutritional status was related to temperature above 37ºC (p<0.001) and to mucositis (p=0.001), in M1 and M2. There was a correlation of dietary intake with the presence of temperature above 37ºC (p=0.019) in M2 and M3. Conclusion Reduced intake and worsening of the patients’ previous nutritional status appear to interfere with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and its complications, such as the presence of temperature above 37ºC and mucositis.

Neste trabalho, apresentaremos experimentos portáteis no intuito de abordar os conceitos da indução eletromagnética com alunos do Ensino Básico. Os materiais utilizados para a realização dos experimentos são de fácil aquisição e o conjunto deles pode ser adquirido na forma de um kit, facilmente transportável. A proposta é que os alunos aprendam os conceitos por meio de discussão em sala e da execução de experimentos. Para isso, será dado maior destaque às aulas interativas em detrimento das expositivas. Assim, nos inspiramos na metodologia desenvolvida pelo grupo da Universidade de Rutgers, liderado pela professora Eugenia Etkina. A fundamentação dessa proposta é que os alunos estudem e aprendam os conceitos físicos de forma semelhante à forma que os cientistas trabalham para construir o conhecimento científico. Tal metodologia foi denominada “Investigative Science Learning Environment” (ISLE). Desta feita, os alunos são apresentados ao método científico, ainda no Ensino Médio, de forma concreta, em que a observação, a proposição e a refutação de hipóteses são fundamentais para a criação de um modelo para o fenômeno físico estudado. Para avaliar a metodologia e os experimentos portáteis, apresentamos uma proposta de sequência didática a ser aplicada em uma turma da terceira śerie do Ensino Médio.
Territorial Planning and Sustainable Development: A Case Study from the APA São Francisco Xavier-SP
Authors: Henrique Raquel , Toniolo Maria Angélica
Published: December 2021

Abstract This article is a case study from the APA São Francisco Xavier, located in the municipality of São José dos Campos-SP, and aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this UC category as an instrument of territorial planning to fulfill its role of reconciling conservation and socio-economic development, based on the sustainable use of natural resources. This study applied multi-methods - both qualitative and quantitative approaches - using fieldwork, participant observation, questionnaires, and geoprocessing to collect and analyze both primary and secondary data. The results demonstrate that APA promotes conservation, but is not free from threats and does not have effective and permanent means to guarantee the promotion of socio-economic development based on the sustainable use of its natural resources. The study suggests that territorial planning should be articulated between the levels of government, its different agencies, and the local community.
Environmental Assessment of the UHE Tijuco Alto Hydropower Plant: the change of the dominant order
Authors: Sousa Amanda dos Santos , Almeida Paulo Santos de
Published: December 2021

Abstract This research aims to identify, through the Strategic Field of Action Theory, the rationalities encompassed in the environmental assessment of the UHE Tijuco Alto Hydropower Plant (Ribeira River Watershed, Brazil) and to characterize the strategies of the stakeholders in the decision-making process. An interpretative description based on documents and content analysis of the environmental assessment process was adopted as our research method. The evaluation of such documents demonstrates that the strategic actions designed by the skilled actor - in this case, the Vale do Ribeira Movement of People Threatened by Dams - was fundamental to unveil the rationality shared by local communities. This fact has changed the dominant order, which prioritizes the logic of development and often results in the release of projects that affect or violate human rights.
Ecofeminist Horizons
Authors: Lamas Isabella , Barca Stefania , Ferreira Bernadete Souza , Yanez Ivonne
Published: December 2021

Abstract Decolonial political ecology embodies far more than mere critique. Rather, decolonial political ecologies allow us to advance transformative proposals, to articulate sophisticated reflections on emancipatory practices, and, above all, to re-imagine future scenarios and horizons. These imagined horizons were articulated by three women from different social contexts: Bernadete Souza Ferreira Santos, a ialorixá peasant and specialist in Rural Education and Agroecology from USP, who works as a ‘popular educator’ in the region of Ilhéus (southern Bahia); Ivonne Yanez, an environmental activist from Ecuador and one of the founders of the organization Acción Ecologica; and Stefania Barca, a scholar in feminist political ecology, originally from Naples (Italy), and currently working at the Centre for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra (Portugal). Together, they show us the paths towards emancipatory horizons that can be found at the intersection between Political Ecology and feminism.

Published: December 2021

abstract It is known that cardiovascular risk is increased during exercise and recovery. Thus, it is necessary to assess all the risk associated with exercise to minimize the possibility of cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to verify whether a maximal exercise alters ambulatory cardiac autonomic modulation in untrained women and whether aerobic fitness is correlated to cardiac autonomic modulation. Twelve women (25.35 ± 5.44 years) were outfitted with the Holter monitor on an experimental (after maximum exercise) and a control day to heart rate variability (HRV) evaluation. Maximal exercise increased 24 h heart rate (82 ± 14 vs 77 ± 11 bpm; p = 0.04) and during sleep time (72 ± 14 vs. 65 ± 9 bpm; p = 0.01), reduced parasympathetic modulation (HF – n.u. 49.96 ± 11.56 vs 42.10 ± 14.98; p = 0.04), and increased low-frequency/high-frequency ratio (2.88 ± 3.24 vs 1.31 ± 0.60; p = 0.03) during sleep time compared to the control day. Aerobic fitness was correlated positively with LF, HF, and HF (n.u.) indices (r = 0.61 to 0.73, p < 0.05) and correlated negatively with LF (n.u.) and LF/HF ratio (Rho = - 0.57 to - 0.69; p < 0.05). Maximal exercise alters parasympathetic modulation during sleep time in untrained women. Ambulatory cardiac autonomic modulation after exercise is related to aerobic fitness.

Authors: Victo Eduardo Rossato de , Solé Dirceu , Ferrari Gerson
Published: December 2021

abstract – The aim of this study was to update a systematic review on the relationship between the environment and physical activity among Brazilian children and adolescents. The search for articles for this review was performed in the MEDLINE, LILACS / BIREME, and SCIELO databases. For this update, only articles published in 2018 and 2019 were used. Descriptors were defined in English and Portuguese. The Boolean used for the advanced search was used, with 3 main blocks: environment, physical activity, and population. Additional filters were used in accordance with the structure of a database. In all, 5 articles were included in this systematic review, 4 with a population-based sample and 1 with a school-based sample. Among the selected studies, 4 were carried out in the southern region of Brazil (2 in Santa Catarina; 1 in Rio Grande do Sul; 1 in Paraná) and the other article was carried out with a national sample. The research period ranged between 2012 and 2017, with a sample size ranging from 38 volunteers to 102,072 participants. The environmental indicators found were road safety, the existence and use of spaces for the practice of physical activity, the characteristics of the school, and the possibility of practice in the school environment. It was concluded that environmental indicators can enhance the practice of physical activity among young Brazilians, requiring public policies that develop environmental projects to promote physical activity.

Authors: Westphal Greice , Pereira Igor Alisson Spagnol , Borim Maria Luiza Costa , Charal Claudiana Marcela Siste , Nardo Junior Nelson
Published: December 2021

abstract – This paper is an update of the systematic review on Active Play published in 2018 by Mendes et al. This systematic review included studies published between 2018 and 2019. The search for potential articles was performed on the following electronic databases: Pubmed/Medline, Web of Science, Bireme, Scielo and Scopus. Initially, 471 papers met the eligibility criteria. However, after deeply analyzed, only two studies remained and were included in the present review. From these articles only one presented individual information on play activity among adolescents age (12-17 years) from Curitiba-PR and it reveals that 77,2% of them were physically active in their free time. The other study included was about the preferences for leisure activities among adolescents from Florianopolis-SC participants in two cross sectional studies in 2001 and 2011. It showed a significant reduction in the preferences for practicing physical activities, while the opposite occurs with sedentary activities like watching TV, playing video games, and using computers. These results along with the inconsistencies in benchmarks of the domain active play among countries involved in the Global Matrix 3.0 made clear the necessity of a standard definition and a proper tool to measure it.

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the accuracy of different criteria used to analyze transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in schoolchildren. Methods: an accuracy study, where an audiological assessment (audiometry, logoaudiometry, tympanometry) and transient emissions were performed with 70 schoolchildren, from the first to the fifth grade of a municipal school, in Northeastern Brazil (6-14 years, 9.9 ± 2 years), with four criteria, all with signal-to-noise ratio ≥ 3 dB, being: criterion A, in all frequency bands; B, in three consecutive frequency bands; C, in three of the five non-consecutive frequency bands; D, in 2, 3 and 4 kHz. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and predictive values with their respective confidence intervals of 95% were analyzed. Results: criterion A showed higher sensitivity (92.31%, 95% CI: 67-98%) and lower specificity (17.35%, 95% CI: 10-29%); criterion C higher specificity (84.21%, 95% CI: 72-91%) and higher positive predictive value (52.63%; 95% CI: 51.63-54.63). Accuracy was 82.85% (95% CI 78.23-87.47) in criterion C and 70% (95% CI: 65.38-74.62) in criterion B. Conclusion: criterion C, signal-to-noise ratio ≥ 3dB in three non-consecutive frequency bands, showed the best accuracy, being considered the best choice as a criterion for the isolated use of transient emissions as a hearing screening procedure, in schoolchildren.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess the effect of an intervention on educational teams’ attitudes and academic expectations concerning the inclusion of students with Down’s Syndrome (DS), in Chile. Methods: a quasi-experimental single-group study was carried out, with an interdisciplinary pilot intervention held comprising three workshops on inclusive education for teachers and teaching assistants. The Attitudes Towards and Academic Expectations For Down’s Syndrome Students questionnaire (CAEASD in Spanish) was used to assess these variables pre- and post-intervention. Results: 48 subjects participated in this study, with 37 in the experimental group and 11 in the control group. No significant differences were observed in the overall CAEASD score, neither before nor after the intervention (p=0.388). However, in the actions part of the attitude component, there was a significant difference in the experimental group (p<0.05), in which, the proportion of positive changes in the overall CAEASD score was also greater than that in the control group. Conclusion: mentoring had a positive impact on educational teams’ attitudes towards students with DS, helping to develop an inclusive educational community.
Natural history study of an understudied sea catfish species from Panama (Siluriformes: Ariidae)
Authors: Fox Janay , Jiménez A Máximo , Stange Madlen
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT The semi-anadromous sea catfish species Cathorops tuyra (Ariidae, Besudo sea catfish) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific has been found reproductively active in the freshwater rivers and lakes of the Panama Canal. Despite growing concerns for biodiversity, reports on natural history are lacking for many Neotropical sea catfishes. We aimed to provide data on the diet and seasonal timing of spawning of C. tuyra for an autochthonous, semi-anadromous, brackish water population from Rio Santa Maria and an allochthonous freshwater non-migrating population from Rio Chagres, an affluent to the Panama Canal, to understand how changing from semi-anadromous to residential lifestyle affects the natural history of a species. Fish from both sampling sites were dissected and information on stomach content, size, weight, parasitic load, sex, maturity, and number of eggs were recorded. In Rio Chagres, there was a female bias and individuals were larger and in pre-spawning mode compared to Rio Santa Maria. Parasite prevalence was low in Rio Chagres and zero in Rio Santa Maria. The diets were very similar between populations: gastropods, bivalves, and insects were the most important prey items in both rivers representing a diverse omnivorous diet that is similar to that of other catfishes.

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experiences of parents of children with cancer who come from areas distant from Lima-Peru during the search for cancer treatment for their children. Method: A descriptive-exploratory qualitative approach study. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The sample consisted of 18 parents who come from remote areas from Lima who attended specialized hospitals. The qualitative analysis was of thematic content, proposed by Minayo. Results: Three categories emerged: Accessing cancer care in Lima hospitals; Having diverse personal experiences during their child’s treatment; and Reporting the socioeconomic and labor impact during their stay in Lima. Final considerations: Understanding these experiences could help health professionals to implement strategies of socioeconomic support to facilitate access to health services for children with cancer. Hospitals must guarantee the satisfaction of the basic needs of parents.

RESUMO A transição escolar no Ensino Fundamental interessa a pesquisadores do desenvolvimento, que buscam identificar seus efeitos no ajustamento escolar, intra e interpessoal dos alunos. Com o objetivo de mapear a produção científica acerca das repercussões da transição escolar dos anos iniciais para finais do Ensino Fundamental sobre o desenvolvimento socioemocional e acadêmico dos estudantes, realizou-se revisão integrativa da literatura, desde 2013 a junho de 2018, nos bancos de dados SciELO, PsycINFO, ERIC e Science Direct. Mediante critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram incorporados e analisados na perspectiva de proteção/risco ao desenvolvimento 30 artigos. A maioria dos estudos investigou fatores de proteção/risco conjuntamente, com predominância de fatores protetivos contextuais. Os desfechos positivos se sobressaíram na transição para os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. A perspectiva de risco/proteção se mostrou pertinente para integração dos resultados, evidenciando que a transição escolar é um fenômeno dinâmico e multifacetado.
EFFECTS OF AN ELECTRONIC GAME ON EARLY LITERACY SKILLS
Authors: Sánchez-Vincitore Laura V. , Cross Analía Henríquez
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT The attainment of the alphabetic principle is one of the earliest signs of successful literacy acquisition. Public school students from the Dominican Republic have low literacy skills, partly because of not being systematically exposed to the alphabetic principle while learning to read. This paper presents the results of an intervention to teach the alphabetic principle using a tablet-based game. Nineteen kindergarten students were randomly assigned to a control and an experimental group during the last month of the 2017 school year. Students from the experimental group played with the game for ten sessions of 20 minutes each. Students from the experimental group outperformed the control group in syllable recognition after the intervention. The intervention did not influence other reading skills. Automatic syllable identification has been shown to boost early literacy acquisition, although it is not sufficient for students to become fluent readers.

Published: December 2021

RESUMO Este estudo analisa os processos de criação e autoria nas práticas acadêmicas de estudantes de graduação. Delineado no formato de pesquisa-intervenção, o estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de oficinas de leitura e escrita realizadas com estudantes de duas universidades federais brasileiras. As falas e textos produzidos pelos/as estudantes foram analisados discursivamente a partir de fundamentos de Bakhtin e de Vygotski e revelaram que o exercício de apropriação de novos modos de escrita é significado como um risco pelos/as discentes, que produzem seus textos responsivamente às práticas avaliativas. Indicam também que eles/as parecem desconhecer a dimensão criativa de suas produções, limitando a criação acadêmica à repetição de conceitos, restrições de formato e citações. Por outro lado, a escrita ganha traços de autoria e criação quando o conteúdo estudado é articulado às suas experiências e contextos sociais.

Abstract Introduction: The guidelines recommend estimating the glomerular filtration rate using serum creatinine-based equations as a predictor of kidney disease, preferably adjusted for local population groups. Methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated the performance of four equations used for estimating GFR compared to endogenous creatinine clearance (ClCr) in 1,281 participants. Modification of Diet equations in Renal Disease Study Group (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), CKD-EPI with adjustment for local population (CKD-EPI local) and Full Age Spectrum (FAS) in comparison with endogenous creatinine clearance (ClCr). We used the Quantile Regression to calculate the median bias, interquartile range (IQR), Bland-Altman agreement analysis and 30% margin of error (P30). Results: The mean age of participants was 52.5 ± 16.5 years with 466 women (38%), median ClCr[IQR] of 92.0 [58.0; 122.0] mL/min/1.73 m2, with 320 (25%) participants presenting ClCr < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The performance of the local CKD-EPI and FAS equations were superior to MDRD and CKD-EPI in relation to variability (0.92 [0.89; 0.94]) and P30 (90.5% [88.7; 92, 0]). In the group with ClCr < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, the local CKD-EPI and FAS equations showed less variability than the CKD-EPI and MDRD (0.90 [0.86; 0.98] and 1.05 [0.97; 1.09] vs. 0.63 [0.61; 0.68] and 0.65 [0.62; 0.70], P < 0.01) and best P30 (85.5) % [81.0; 90.0], 88.0% [84.0; 92.0] vs. 52.0% (46.0; 58.0) and 53.0% [47.0; 58 .5], P < 0.01). Conclusion: Local CKD-EPI and FAS equations performed better than CKD-EPI and MDRD when compared to ClCr.
HENRI PIÉRON, ROBERTO MANGE E A HISTÓRIA DA PSICOTÉCNICA NO BRASIL: REPRESENTAÇÕES EM DISPUTA
Authors: Dadico Luciana , Siqueira Rogério Monteiro de
Published: December 2021

Resumo Este artigo discute a gênese da psicotécnica nas décadas de 1920 a 1940, analisando, de forma comparada, três cursos de psicotécnica ministrados em São Paulo: por Roberto Mange, no Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, em 1926, e na Escola Livre de Sociologia e Política de São Paulo, em 1934; e por Henri Piéron, na Escola Normal de São Paulo, em 1926. A análise aqui envidada questiona a associação causal entre psicotécnica e taylorismo, que coloca o nome de Mange ao mesmo tempo como precursor e impulsionador das ideias de Taylor no Brasil. Além disso, ela mostra que, embora estes cursos respondam a projetos locais voltados à indústria e educação, eles expressam também a materialização de um projeto global, construído sobre ferramentas estatísticas, equipamentos padronizados e circulação internacional de textos e intelectuais, com implicações para a historiografia da psicologia no período.

Nosso referencial teórico é composto pelas contribuições de Roger Chartier, Michel de Certeau e Jean François Sirinelli. O corpus documental para a pesquisa se constitui, principalmente, pelo relatório da viagem produzido pelo intelectual. A partir do olhar do viajante, foi possível identificar os principais elementos que caracterizavam a organização do ensino, sobretudo primário e normal, nas cidades visitadas.
When Institutional Multiplicity Backfires: The Battle Over the Jurisdiction to Prosecute Politicians for Administrative Improbity in Brazil
Authors: Ferreira Vivian Pereira
Published: December 2021

Abstract Brazilian Administrative Improbity Act (Law n. 8.429/1992) created a different form of punishment for corrupt behavior and it may be understood as an attempt to introduce institutional multiplicity in the country’s legal system. Even though the law has been largely applied and resulted in the imposition of sanctions, it also has limitations: cases often taken several years before being concluded and the recovery of assets has not been substantial overtime. This paper seeks to elucidate some of the reasons why this might have happened. We argue that poor legal design combined with legal implementation problems resulted in delays in final judicial decisions. This paper focuses on a topic that has occupied Brazilian courts for a long time: determining in which jurisdiction should authorities and politicians be tried for administrative improbity. We describe the most prominent Supreme Court’s decisions about the theme and try to draw institutional lessons from them, by developing feasible solutions to improve the enforcement of Law n. 8.429/1992.

Published: December 2021

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar os efeitos de um programa fonoaudiológico de aprimoramento das habilidades de comunicação oral, por meio da mensuração dos índices autorreferidos de ansiedade e estresse. Métodos Trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado controlado. Os participantes da pesquisa foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: grupo intervenção (GI) e grupo controle (GC). O GI participou de seis oficinas de aprimoramento das habilidades de comunicação oral. O GC participou de uma única oficina sobre saúde vocal. Foram aplicados, antes da primeira e após a última oficina, os protocolos: Questionário de caracterização da amostra, Self Statements During Public-Speaking Scale (SSPS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) e o Cuestinário de Ansiedad Social para Adultos (CASO). Após seis meses, foi realizado um follow-up. Resultados O GI apresentou, após o aprimoramento, redução significativa dos escores de ansiedade no CASO, de forma geral, e em todos os parâmetros do protocolo. Os valores da PSS referentes ao estresse demonstraram aumento da autoavaliação positiva e diminuição da autoavaliação negativa. Já na autoavaliação ao falar em público, foi verificado, na SSPS, aumento da pontuação geral, em relação ao GC. Conclusão O programa de aprimoramento fonoaudiológico das habilidades de comunicação oral promoveu a diminuição nos índices de ansiedade e estresse autorreferidos, aumentando a autopercepção positiva ao falar em público. O presente estudo foi registrado no Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clínicos (ReBEC), sob o identificador primário RBR-37r3S2.
Saúde e migrações no Sul do Brasil: demandas e perspectivas na educação em saúde
Authors: Ferreira Daniel Granada da Silva , Detoni Priscila Pavan
Published: December 2021

Resumo O artigo analisa o impacto dos recentes processos migratórios e sua relação com a formação em saúde. As relações entre mobilidade humana e os processos de saúde e adoecimento estão na ordem do dia dos debates internacionais. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir o papel das políticas de saúde no Brasil e suas relações com o acolhimento de imigrantes, especialmente no que se refere ao entendimento das necessidades de investir em formação na área da saúde para que ela se adapte a essa realidade. O estudo foi realizado na região do Vale do Taquari, Rio Grande do Sul, tendo como sujeitos imigrantes majoritariamente haitianos que ali se estabeleceram entre 2012 e 2016. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de desnaturalizar a doença associada ao corpo de imigrantes as representações das migrações como vetores de adoecimento, bem como de incluir no programa dos cursos da área da saúde temas sobre mobilidade humana e seus impactos visando a melhoria do acolhimento. Apresentam-se também as dificuldades de oferecer um serviço adequado aos novos imigrantes em um contexto de serviços de saúde precários para as populações locais. Esse debate deve ser seriamente considerado nas discussões para formação em saúde.
Mobile phones, non-human agents at the service of assisted reproduction: monitoring and gendered dual allegiance
Authors: Duchesne Véronique
Published: December 2021

Abstract For sub-Saharan women enrolled in a protocol for assisted reproductive technology (ART), the use of mobile phones entails dual allegiance: toward the services of reproductive medicine and toward their transnational family. Indispensable for medically monitoring women’s reproductive bodies, the mobile phone enters the process for producing female gametes and contributes to the gender asymmetry typical of biomedicalized procreation. It is also used to maintain contacts with transnational family members who, from a distance, obtrude in the woman’s reproductive life. The use of mobile phones extends biomedical power over the woman’s body into her everyday life and the normative power of her transnational family into reproduction. Paradoxically, the mobile telephone allows collateral relatives to support the woman seeking reproduction assistance while also “hypermedicalizing” the woman’s daily life. Also paradoxically, this everyday companion is conductive to individual autonomy while also being used for new forms of surveillance and control. The data come from fieldwork conducted in the greater Paris area between 2011 and 2013 within a network of ART professionals and their patients.
Pariendo madres: talleres de parto y de crianza en un distrito rural bonaerense
Authors: Kunin Johana
Published: December 2021

Resumen Realizamos trabajo de campo etnográfico y analizamos sentidos y prácticas divergentes hacia talleres de crianza y parto respetado en las periferias de un distrito rural bonaerense. Los objetivos iniciales de estas iniciativas públicas y gratuitas no fueron totalmente alcanzados ya que lograron convocar a menos participantes de lo previsto. Llamamos por lo tanto nominalistas a las mujeres que acuden a los talleres, lugares donde se sostiene que la mujer tiene que volverse una con su “cría” para luego buscar “espacios de autonomía”. Ellas se distinguen a sí mismas de la mayoría de las mujeres que no acude a los talleres. Frente a las primeras, estas últimas no harían un “esfuerzo” ni pondrían atención especial en los procesos de parto y crianza que concebirían como “naturales”. Así se ve como no todo el mundo está “intrínsecamente” atraído por el paradigma del “parto respetado”.
Amor ou risco? Refletindo sobre sentidos, regulações e orientações a respeito do leite materno a partir de casos de “amamentação cruzada”
Authors: Nucci Marina , Fazzioni Natalia
Published: December 2021

Resumo Neste artigo refletimos sobre os sentidos atribuídos ao leite materno, e os diferentes atores e mecanismos morais que orientam e regulam a prática da amamentação. Nosso foco é a “amamentação cruzada”, ato em que um bebê é amamentado por alguém que não sua própria mãe - contraindicado pelo Ministério da Saúde pelo risco de transmissão de doenças. A partir da análise de materiais diversos, como reportagens e postagens em redes sociais, observamos como casos de amamentação cruzada repercutem a partir de um “script”, em que profissionais de saúde alertam para tais riscos, ao mesmo tempo que atestam a segurança dos bancos de leite, onde o leite doado é pasteurizado. Assim, analisamos ambiguidades em torno do leite e da amamentação, chamando atenção para os processos históricos de estabelecimento dos bancos de leite no Brasil. Por fim, à luz das discussões sobre cuidado, debatemos diferentes modos de vivenciar família, maternidade e amamentação.
Experiências maternais de Geni: a trajetória de uma mulher transexual e sua relação com a Justiça da Infância e Juventude

Published: December 2021

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como sujeitos produzem agenciamentos sociais na interface entre identidades, sexualidades, direitos e família. Para tanto, partimos de diferentes trajetórias de Geni, uma mulher transexual, mãe por adoção, portadora de registro de nascimento, sem modificação de gênero, que vive em união estável com Jonas, com quem adotou cinco filhos, nos últimos 30 anos. Os dois primeiros estiveram sob seus cuidados, sem o aval do Poder Judiciário. Os três últimos foram tornados filhos de Geni, com a chancela da Vara da Infância e Juventude, ao ajuizar com Jonas uma ação de adoção na qualidade de “família homoafetiva”. Geni age dentro de um campo de possibilidades que a vida ordinária lhe possibilita. Sua atuação não se manifesta de uma forma heroica, parafraseando Veena Das (2007), mas por meio da mobilização estratégica que sua identidade de gênero lhe configura nos cenários pelos quais transita, segundo suas diferentes experiências maternas.
