Contribuições empírico-teóricas para a fundamentação do gameativismo
Authors: Caldas Morenna
Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo levantar os princípios norteadores do gameativismo para contribuir para possíveis definições do movimento, permitindo a identificação de fenômenos semelhantes e a distinção de outros ativismos. A territorialidade da pesquisa se constrói pelo confronto entre as categorias de games e as articulação destas com o ativismo e as ruas. Partindo do conceito base de gameativismo como o uso de jogos eletrônicos na articulação destas linguagens com objetivos sociais e políticos, o artigo atravessará os movimentos em suas diferentes frentes de ação, como o uso educativo, na promoção de causa sociais e para a crítica à indústria de jogos. Como parte de uma pesquisa em andamento, parte-se mais de hipóteses que de conclusões: a natureza do videogame, quando considerada sua genealogia - nesse contexto, das batalhas comerciais até a manutenção do ideal estético da performance gráfica - é competitiva e mercadológica e um videogame desconstruído exige mais que políticas de inclusão. A desconstrução do videogame demanda e participa da desestruturação das comunidades, das trocas comerciais, do trabalho e de conceitos estéticos; o passado militar e o caráter financeiro do videogame-produto definem uma categoria de jogo, mas não limitam sua potência criativa. Atravessando o debate da gamificação ou jogos educativos, a questão do console, das plataformas e do hacking no princípio colonizador do game ou da narrativa como poder, o gameativismo se desenvolve em um contexto complexo, que demanda avaliação criteriosa a fim de questionar os limites e as possibilidades dessa linguagem emergente de ativismo.
Jogando pela direita: os militares e a interpretação "liberal-conservadora" do Brasil
Authors: Caris Fagundes Ailton Laurentino
Published: September 2024

A construção de um pensamento nacional de direita, que une elementos de conservadorismo, autoritarismo e um mal lapidado discurso de liberalismo econômico, ganhou impulso a partir da década de 1960, com a aproximação das ideias desenvolvidas ao longo de décadas dentro das Forças Armadas com algumas teorias defendidas pelos economistas que iriam comandar áreas estratégicas fundamentais nos governos pós 1964. Estruturada a partir da Escola Superior de Guerra, a Doutrina de Segurança Nacional, vai representar uma certa interpretação do Brasil e se consolidar como fundamento para a atuação das Forças Armadas, direcionando, inclusive sua atuação política. A partir de uma análise histórica, baseada em documento e análise bibliográfica, este trabalho busca compreender como o pensamento militar se organiza e se mantém dentro de determinados parâmetros ao longo do tempo, a ponto de influenciar setores da sociedade civil. Essa interpretação desenvolvida pelos militares chega ao comando do Estado e continua relevante para a compreensão da política brasileira ainda hoje
Burning Closets and Nights in the Woods
Authors: Mejeur Cody
Published: September 2024

This article examines game environments wherein LGBTQ characters and players are not necessarily on the same side, and the natural world might want nothing to do with you or even to harm you. The purpose of these environments is not essentially to separate humans and the natural world. Instead, the environments point to other forms of complex, messy interrelationships that often do not have neat closures and resolutions. In other words these are not just bad relationships between queers and their environments, they are moments and opportunities for critically shifting perspectives, and, in the words of Kadji Amin, “deexceptionalizing” and “deidealizing” the relationship between queerness and nature to better account for the position of queerness in systems of power.20 Within the context of queer games and queer game studies, this means deidealizing the connection between queer characters, stories, players, and their natural environments, refusing to romanticize ourselves as suffering, exiled stewards of the natural world with special access, knowledge, or kinship with it.
Advancing the Protection of the Right to Freedom of Religion in South Africa
Authors: De Freitas Shaun
Published: September 2024

Since the inception of South Africa's democracy, the Constitutional Court has been confronted with only a few challenges regarding the protection of the right to freedom of religion (and the same applies to the other courts). Although part of the reason for the sparse jurisprudence on the protection of the right to freedom of religion is South Africa's relatively young democracy when compared to many other democracies around the world, an ideal opportunity is presented for contributing towards the laying of a sturdy foundation conducive to the advancement of inclusivity pertaining to religious freedoms. Consequently, this article critically explores aspects related to what is presented as essential underpinnings to the debate, namely the importance of the right to freedom of religion (and implied in this, non-religious belief as well), the presence of subjective moral convictions (or beliefs) in the practising of law and the accompanying risks related to unnecessary dominance in the practising of law, tolerance, the pretext of neutrality and modes of judicial reasoning. Following on this, and as an extension of the aforementioned, the Constitutional Court's approach in Prince v President of the Cape Law Society (hereafter Prince) is investigated. Accompanying all of the above is the countering of the strong pull in many democracies towards the marginalisation of religion regarding inclusion in the public sphere and that which is deemed to be rational; something that South Africa's democracy should not be perceived as being immune to.
ROBIN: A unified nanopore-based sequencing assay integrating real-time, intraoperative methylome classification and next-day comprehensive molecular brain tumour profiling for ultra-rapid tumour diagnostics v1
Authors: Deacon Simon , Cahyani Inswasti , Loose Matthew
Published: September 2024

Background Advances in our technological capacity to interrogate brain tumour biology has led to the ever-increasing use of genomic sequencing in routine diagnostic decision making. Presently, brain tumours are routinely classified based on their epigenetic signatures, leading to a paradigm shift in diagnostic pathways. Such testing can be performed so rapidly using nanopore sequencing that results can be provided intraoperatively. This information greatly improves upon the fidelity of smear diagnosis and can help surgeons tailor their approach, balancing the risks of surgery with the likely benefit. Nevertheless, full integrated diagnosis may require subsequent additional assays to detect pathognomonic somatic mutations and structural variants, thereby delaying the time to final diagnosis. Methods Here, we present ROBIN, a tool based upon PromethION nanopore sequencing technology that can provide both real-time, intraoperative methylome classification and next-day comprehensive molecular profiling within a single assay. ROBIN uniquely integrates three methylation classifiers 1–3 to improve diagnostic performance in the intraoperative setting. Findings We demonstrate classifier performance on 50 prospective intraoperative cases, achieving a diagnostic turnaround time under 2 hours and generating robust tumour classifications within minutes of sequencing. Furthermore, ROBIN can detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy number variants (CNVs) and structural variants (SVs) in real-time, and is able to inform a complete integrated diagnosis within 24 hours. Classifier performance demonstrated concordance with final integrated diagnosis in 90% of prospective cases. Interpretation Nanopore sequencing can greatly improve upon the turnaround times for standard of care diagnostic testing, including sequencing, and is furthermore able to reliably provide clinically actionable intraoperative tumour classification.

Identification and Assessment of Undiagnosed Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: A Report of Three Cases
Authors: Dolan Vera F.
Published: September 2024

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and its associated physical and mental conditions is the most prevalent congenital impairment causing developmental and intellectual disability worldwide. Like alcohol abuse, FASD is typically undiagnosed by primary care providers. And like alcohol abuse, life underwriters and medical directors need to be aware of the signs, symptoms, and behaviors associated with FASD to accurately detect, identify, evaluate and assess the mortality risk. Three cases of suspected undiagnosed FASD that were underwritten for life expectancies in legal matters are discussed in this report. Not only were these patients’ risks for excess mortality elevated due to their initial neurologic injury due to prenatal exposure to alcohol, but these cases demonstrate the importance of the stability and care needed to make them insurable. The following paper discusses the clinical and social settings at birth that may give underwriters and medical directors some clue to a potential case of the child having FASD and then to assess their statistical and lifestyle mortality risks.

For years, soil-structure interaction (SSI) has been a subject of interdisciplinary studies, although full-scale SSI experiments and the use of real data are rare. To study SSI in a well-known and controlled environment, a full-scale experiment, EuroMASS, was conducted at the Piana di Toppo test site in Northeast Italy. For the needs of the experiment, a simple structure consisting of a lumped mass overtopping a steel column on a concrete base was designed and assembled at the test site. In April 2022, a three-component instrumentation network was installed to record the seismic noise, weak earthquake motions, and active source signals to study the structure, the foundation, and the soil seismic responses. The experiment was designed to collect data that can be used for accurate dynamic characterization of the structure and analysis of wave propagation in the soil-structure system.

Published: September 2024

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is an overarching term that reflects any departure from normal menstruation or regular menstrual cycle patterns. Treatment depends upon the cause. Hysterectomy being a definite treatment for structural uterine pathology.
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in department of pathology, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose medical college Jabalpur (M.P.). The study comprised of 140 hysterectomy specimens with or without salpingo-oophorectomy obtained from AUB patients and submitted for histopathological examination in our department during study period of 18 months. The relevant data of the patients was collected and analyzed as per designed proforma.
Results: Out of 140 cases, majority of the patients were in 41-50 years age group 63 cases (45%), followed by 31-40 years age group 59 cases (42.14%). Most common clinical presentation was heavy menstrual bleeding in 83 cases (59.28%), followed by intermenstrual bleeding and pain in abdomen in 66 cases (47.14%) each. Commonest lesion found was leiomyoma, 83 cases (59.28%), second being dual pathology of adenomyosis with leiomyoma 23 cases (16.42%) followed by adenomyosis, 19 cases (13.57%). Four cases (2.85%) of benign endometrial polyp and endometrial carcinoma each and 1 case of adenomyoma, simple endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial stromal sarcoma, each, were reported.
Conclusions: A wide spectrum of histopathological findings, ranging from normal cyclic endometrium to benign pathology and malignancy were seen. In some patients, dual pathologies, incidental findings and occult malignant lesions, which were missed clinically or radiologically, was diagnosed on histopathological examination, thus making it a gold standard for definite diagnosis.

Published: September 2024

Background: Ovarian neoplasms include wide spectrum of various tumors, which differ in their histo-morphological features, also in their biological behaviour, tumorigenesis, clinical course, and prognosis. Aim of the study was to study the histopathological features of various ovarian tumors and correlate preoperative serum CA125 tumor marker level with histopathological types. Also to study fallopian tubes for fallopian tube precursor lesions such as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) in serous carcinoma ovary.
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study of the 80 specimens of ovarian tumors was conducted in department of pathology, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose medical college Jabalpur (M.P.). The relevant data of the patients was collected and analysed as per designed proforma.
Results: Out of 80 cases; majority cases 22 (27.5%) were seen in a 31-40 years age group, followed by 41-50 years age group 18 cases (22.5%). Youngest patient was 7 years old and oldest patient was 88 years old, forming the range of 7 years to 88 years. Epithelial tumors were the most common category, followed by germ cell tumors, sex cord stromal tumors and metastatic tumors. Benign tumors were much higher than borderline and malignant tumors mature cystic teratoma was the most common tumor encountered, followed by mucinous cystadenoma. The commonest malignant tumor was serous carcinoma followed by mucinous carcinoma.
Conclusions: Ovarian neoplasms constitute a wide spectrum of tumors therefore exact categorization is important to adopt appropriate treatment protocols for the proper management of the patient. Histopathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosis and categorization of ovarian neoplasm.
Incentive policies for retention of physicians in the private health sector in Portugal
Authors: Marques Isabel Cristina Panziera , Nogueira Fernanda , Amorim João , Fernandes Adalberto Campos
Published: September 2024

The high demand for quality healthcare services in Portugal is generating concerns about meeting the optimum number of healthcare professionals in the private sector, such as doctors and clinicians. Critical interventions are currently in progress, aiming to provide quality healthcare that will be accessible and sustainable through actionable retention strategies such as investing and developing human capital, introducing better conditions of service to attract and retain talent in the private healthcare sector, and prioritizing the needs of patients. The objective of this study is to understand which factors promote the migration of physicians from the public to the private sector according to the theoretical assumptions of incentives. In this context, a phenomenological study was carried out, using semi-structured interviews with fifteen physicians working in the private health network. Content analysis was done using NVivo 12. The results indicate that performance evaluation in the private sector exists but has no alignment with incentives. The condition makes the private healthcare sector unattractive, however, other policies of remuneration remain promising. Current proposals that could revive the image of the sector include collective decision-making and strong labour relations advocacy for physicians in the private sector.

Published: September 2024

Esta coletânea, assim como o outro volume seu irmão, ambos publicados ao mesmo tempo, são produto de uma articulação múltipla da linha 3 da Pós-Graduação em Psicossociologia de Comunidades e Ecologia Social (EICOS) da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro com diversos coletivos de produção, no Brasil e fora dele. Este volume inclui textos que são frutos das mais variadas experiências nas redes de saúde do SUS, ou próximas a elas, em meio a projetos também de múltiplas ordens, em geral pesquisas e intervenções integradas com instituições de ensino, entre outros tantos. Reservamos as páginas deste volume para textos que conversam mais de perto com o tema do cuidado na comunidade, olhando “comunidade” muitas vezes como Peter Pál Perbart: “uma figura não fusional, não unitária, não totalizável, não filialista de comunidade (…) para descobrirmos comunidade lá onde não se via comunidade, e não necessariamente reconhecer comunidade lá onde todos vêem comunidade”. É preciso agradecer às pessoas e aos coletivos que, permanecendo no anonimato, junto com autoras e autores que aqui se expressaram, todos(as) com suas vidas em ato, seus sofrimentos e potências vividos e narrados, seus dilemas em cenas de gestão, produção de cuidado e formação em saúde, e em outras tantas cenas, mas também com suas alegrias e tanta vida, contribuíram para as reflexões compartilhadas aqui.

A presente dissertação jurídica insere-se no âmbito do Direito Ambiental e Sanitário, objetivando promover um estudo comparativo acerca das práticas de controle social implementadas no Brasil em contraposição às normativas internacionais vigentes, com vistas a apresentar as congruências e discrepâncias existentes. Nesta senda, esta análise jurídico-comparativa almeja, por conseguinte, identificar as lições aprendidas e propor recomendações para o aperfeiçoamento da legislação e das práticas administrativas nacionais concernentes ao saneamento básico e ao licenciamento ambiental. Para a efetivação deste estudo, a metodologia adotada caracteriza-se por sua natureza jurídico-bibliográfica e comparativa, na qual se procedeu à análise documental dos textos legais, doutrinas, jurisprudências e relatórios de organismos internacionais, complementada por uma revisão crítica da literatura. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam a existência de um arcabouço legal consideravelmente bem elaborado no Brasil, que, no entanto, enfrenta problemas quanto à sua implementação efetiva, especialmente no que tange à participação social ativa e ao acesso à informação. Comparativamente, as normativas globais destacam-se pela formulação de diretrizes gerais que promovem a sustentabilidade ambiental e a governança participativa. No entanto, a eficácia de tais diretrizes está condicionada à capacidade de adaptação e aplicação pelas legislações nacionais. Ainda, identificou-se a necessidade de fortalecer os mecanismos de controle social e de participação pública no Brasil, por meio da revisão legislativa e da adoção de práticas administrativas alinhadas às melhores práticas internacionais.

O presente artigo propõe-se a examinar a intersecção entre os domínios político, jurídico e ambiental, com vistas a promover um debate acerca da efetividade das legislações ambientais no Brasil. Assente sobre o pressuposto de que a tutela ambiental é um desiderato incontornável para a sustentabilidade do desenvolvimento, este estudo tem por escopo principal analisar as potencialidades e os desafios inerentes à implementação de políticas públicas ambientais e à aplicabilidade do arcabouço legal existente, delineando, assim, estratégias integradas que possibilitem a concretização das normativas ambientais em território nacional. Nesta senda, a pesquisa, de natureza jurídico-bibliográfica, adotou uma metodologia dedutiva, por meio da qual se procedeu a uma análise macroscópica da legislação e da doutrina pertinentes à proteção ambiental, para, subsequentemente, aprofundar-se nas especificidades da realidade brasileira. Tal abordagem permitiu uma investigação alicerçada tanto em fontes primárias, tais como legislação, regulamentos e instrumentos normativos, quanto em fontes secundárias, representadas por artigos científicos e obras literárias, propiciando uma compreensão acerca do tema em estudo. Os resultados alcançados revelam que, apesar dos avanços legislativos no campo da proteção ambiental, subsistem lacunas e problemas operacionais que comprometem a eficácia das leis ambientais no Brasil. Identificou-se que a integração entre as políticas públicas e o direito ambiental, embora preconizada teoricamente, enfrenta obstáculos práticos decorrentes de falhas na implementação de políticas, de deficiências estruturais no sistema jurídico e de insuficiências na fiscalização e aplicação das normas. A pesquisa apontou, ainda, para a necessidade de fortalecer a sinergia entre os diversos atores envolvidos na gestão ambiental, incluindo o poder público, a sociedade civil e o setor privado, como meio de viabilizar uma proteção efetiva ao meio ambiente.

The analysis showed that migration security is a component of public, State and national security. Objects of protection have been identified and threats in the field of migration have been identified, primarily on the basis of the study of strategic planning acts. The shortcomings of the legal regulation in the field of migration, in particular with regard to compatriots living abroad, have been identified. At the theoretical level, the relationship between migration security and other types of security is clarified, and the objects of protection and threats in the field of migration are defined. The practical significance is due to the identification of legal norms in legislation that reduce security in the field of migration.

The aim of this research is to investigate the successful factors behind the largest walking event in the world, the Nijmeegse Vierdaagse in the Netherlands, through the prism of a visitors’ experience economy. The study explores the demographic characteristics of the respondents, the visitors’ reasons to attend, as well as an interpretation of their experience. A total of 327 visitors completed a survey expressing their positive recommendation for others to visit the event and the huge interest (99.4%) to re-attend. This was due to a universal level of satisfaction and the diversification of the entertainment provision amongst Dutch, German and other Europeans with a high educational level, aged 20 and above. Most visitors attended the event with their families and friends, for professional and personal training, as part of a military program or for self-development. The main reasons to take part were firstly, to observe the walkers, secondly, to support friends and family and, lastly, for the atmosphere around the city and its history. The experience has been introduced through Pine and Gilmore’s (1998) realms where all four aspects played a huge role in its successful implementation, specifically of the esthetic and entertainment realms. The participants searched mostly for harmony, a pleasant environment and differentiation of cultures. Moreover, the attendees mentioned the educational side as a simplistic curiosity rather than intentional learning, however, they still highlighted that it also mattered as a part of the successful event. Lastly, only small relevance was found in becoming a different person and experiencing a completely different world through escapism. Finally, practically all participants expressed their wish to re-attend the event considering it successful.

No âmbito das geotecnologias, os Veículos Aéreos Não Tripulados (VANTs) são ferramentas cada vez mais utilizadas para o Sensoriamento Remoto de áreas cultivadas e de vegetação nativa por meio de Índices de Vegetação. Com o processamento de imagens digitais RGB através de operações aritméticas aplicadas às suas bandas espectrais, é possível extrair informações referentes a distribuição e saúde das plantas, bem como à exposição do solo aos processos erosivos, auxiliando na tomada de decisão para gestão ambiental e planejamento do território. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a distribuição da vegetação a partir de diferentes índices de vegetação em uma Unidade de Conservação de Proteção Integral, utilizando ferramentas de classificação automática. O voo para a tomada das imagens e a obtenção dos pontos de controle ocorreu durante a estação chuvosa em diversas áreas do parque. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que os índices ExG e GLI foram aqueles com melhor resposta visual à distribuição da vegetação e melhor quantificação automática da sua área de cobertura espacial.

A relação entre os seres humanos e a natureza ao longo da história tem sido frequentemente caracterizada por uma lógica desarmônica, marcada por uma intensificação significativa, refletida na rápida exploração, transformação e, em alguns casos, o esgotamento dos recursos naturais. Como importante instrumento da Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente, o licenciamento ambiental desempenha um papel fundamental na gestão e no controle das atividades humanas que têm potencial para impactar o meio ambiente. Este ensaio tem como objetivo analisar as principais implicações do licenciamento ambiental nas políticas ambientais do Estado do Ceará. Utilizou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, a consulta de dados e documentos e sua posterior análise qualitativa. Considera-se que o licenciamento ambiental eficaz vai além da conformidade legal; ele engloba o envolvimento do público, a transparência e uma rica avaliação dos impactos ambientais e sociais. Apesar de ser uma ferramenta técnica muito utilizada, ainda precisa ser mais estudada e aperfeiçoada para uma efetiva contribuição às políticas públicas ambientais no Estado do Ceará.
