Authors: Silva Naura Angélica , Marisco Gabriele
Published: November 2020

O uso de terapia assistida por animais traz grandes benefícios para
as pessoas como motivação, companheirismo e afeto ajudando tanto na saúde física quanto mental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma pesquisa através de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa sobre a influência dos animais domésticos na educação e saúde no Brasil. Foram encontrados 48 trabalhos publicados, onde 43 trabalhos tratam da relação do animal com o homem por um período de curto prazo utilizando a terapia assistida e 5 artigos sobre os benefícios do convívio com animais à longo prazo. Foi constatado que os cães são os animais mais utilizados, sendo a
escola o local que apresentou uma maior frequência para a realização da terapia assistida, tendo como o maior público as crianças. Destaca-se que a terapia assistida atende principalmente deficiência intelectual e déficit de atenção/hiperatividade, pode também auxiliar em tratamentos psicológicos como condição de abandono e violência, paralisias e câncer. Assim, a terapia assistida possui técnicas e objetivos a serem alcançados que favorecem aqueles que dela necessitam, desde a melhoria na saúde como na qualidade de vida, através da socialização e comunicação reduz o isolamento, a solidão, a ansiedade, além de
melhorar a concentração, a expressão de sentimentos e a auto estima. A terapia assistida utilizando animais, principalmente cães, em escolas, podem ser mediadores do ensino, pois a vivência das crianças com animais na escola serve de motivação para a aprendizagem, além de contribuir com aspectos psicológicos educacionais, colaborando para um melhor desempenho escolar e minimização da agressividade.

Published: November 2020

O artigo propõe avaliar o panorama da COVID-19 mediante uma reflexão dos impactos físicos e mentais causados aos profissionais de saúde na sua prática laboral, considerando a complexidade vigente dessa virose que modificou o cotidiano da população. O COVID-19, gerou rápida crise na saúde, economia e na política mundial, sendo declarada em março de 2020, pandemia pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Os sistemas de saúde entraram em colapso, causando uma tragédia na humanidade, necessitando de estratégias rápidas pelo setor governamental. Os profissionais que detêm o conhecimento científico, assumem uma posição diferenciada, por serem responsáveis pela determinação de ações de cuidados a saúde. A tensão crônica vivenciada por estes trabalhadores pode provocar exaustão emocional, despersonalização e baixa realização pessoal, responsáveis por emoções e cognições negativas, levando a comportamentos que reduzem o sistema imunológico. Estes especialistas, embora consciente dos riscos, por não possuir condições econômica e/ou emocional de poder usufruir de um lugar exclusivo nesse período de isolamento social, arrisca a saúde de outros e de seus entes queridos. Por estar na linha de frente nessa pandemia, é considerado um herói pela mídia e população, porém se sente estigmatizado pelos moradores próximos e da sua residência devido ao medo da contaminação. As condições geradas pelo COVID-19 são fatores estressores suficientes para suscitar traumas físicos e psicológicos nestes trabalhadores, sendo comparadas a desastres naturais e guerras. São necessárias medidas para melhoria no ambiente de trabalho, estimulando o desempenho laboral e a capacidade de lidar diariamente com a doença, a morte e o sofrimento da comunidade.

Direitos humanos e conservadorismo: o caso da Comissão de Direitos Humanos e Minorias da Câmara dos Deputados em 2013
Authors: Pereira Luiz Ismael , Andrade Gabriel Pereira Penna , Vanderlei Anne Caroline Fagundes
Published: November 2020

Com a ascensão da nova direita conservadora no Brasil e a crescente apropriação de espaços políticos sensíveis e estratégicos, o presente artigo tem como objetivo fazer um estudo de caso sobre da atuação da Comissão de Direitos Humanos e Minorias, no ano de 2013, ano da nomeação do deputado federal e pastor Marco Feliciano como seu presidente. Os problemas são: como os direitos humanos são construídos dentro deste projeto? Como se dá o impacto deste projeto no reconhecimento e na concretização dos direitos humanos das minorias? Foram analisados os Requerimentos e os Projetos de Lei apresentados que versavam sobre gênero e sexualidade, procurando evidenciar como era construída a relevância das temáticas na Comissão e de que maneira seu mérito era justificado. O recorte abrange três temáticas recorrentes no novo conservadorismo, em especial aquele de natureza religiosa: a luta contra o aborto legal, a prostituição e os direitos LGBTQ+. Como conclusão, a pesquisa revelou três estratégias discursivas de reprodução de uma visão conservadora de direitos humanos: utilização de conceitos amplos, como democracia e igualdade, sem definir bem seu conteúdo; a mudança de foco, tratando demandas de minorias como uma ameaça para a sociedade em geral; e o silenciamento, ao definir debatedores com opiniões homogêneas para as audiências públicas, silenciando grupos que deveriam ser protegidos. O referencial teórico está no campo da teoria crítica dos direitos humanos. Ademais, aponta-se para a necessidade de estudos posteriores que aprofundem o exame da relação entre conservadorismo e direitos humanos no Brasil.

Published: November 2020

Context: In public administration, the focus of Governance in Information Technology is to provide its customers with greater transparency, providing better quality services, further modernization of sectors and greater efficiency. The absence of a solid Governance system brings serious problems to the organization. Objective: To know the current scenario of information technology (IT) Governance in public organizations in the State of Sergipe, Brazil, in accordance with the assessment made by the Federal Audit Court, as well as to support managers in adopting good Governance practices in their management. Method: A Survey was applied to the main state public organizations of the State of Sergipe, to evaluate the dimensions of leadership, strategy and control. Results: It was observed that only 35.7% of public organizations have a satisfactory result in relation to the adoption of IT Governance; that only 7% of the organizations carry out an audit of IT actions integrally within their organizations; and 50% of responses are between non-adoption or application of an IT Governance policy within the strategic planning of organizations. Conclusion: This scenario shows, initially, that most of the specialized agencies do not have an application to a level of excellence related to IT Governance in the State of Sergipe, Brazil.

Current opportunities of comprehensive therapy for bone metastases from thyroid cancer
Authors: Polyakov A. P. , Rumyantsev P. O. , Nikiforovich P. A. , Mordovsky A. V. , Chistyakova E. A.
Published: November 2020

Background. Approximately 10 % of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) develop distant metastases. Of them, only 23 % have bone metastases. Complications associated with metastatic lesion in the skeleton significantly affect overall condition of patients and their quality of life. Surgery and pharmacotherapy are highly traumatic and toxic. Bisphosphonates are stable structural analogues of pyrophosphate that inhibit osteoclast activity, thereby reducing bone resorption, which increases the time to development of bone complications, improves patient’s quality of life, and reduces pain.

The study objective is to assess performance status and pain severity in WDTC patients with distant bone metastases after bisphosphonate therapy.

Materials and methods. We analyzed clinical experience in using bisphosphonates in WDTC patients treated in P.A. Herzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute between 2016 and 2020. This study included 41 patients with WDTC and bone metastases of various locations. Pain severity was evaluated using a 5-point verbal scale; performance status was evaluated using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale.

Results. We observed an improvement in patients’ performance status (from score 2 to 0 according to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale) in response to therapy. We also found a decrease in pain intensity (from score 4 to 1.5).

Conclusion. The inclusion of bisphosphonates into the treatment scheme for WDTC patients with bone metastases can reduce pain intensity and improve performance status.

Published: November 2020

The study objectiveis to summarize clinical experience in the treatment of esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) accumulated by specials at N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology.

Materials and methods. We analyzed the data of 115 ENB patients who had undergone treatment between 1965 and 2019.

Results. The 15-year overall survival rate was 1.2–1.7 times higher in patients receiving comprehensive treatment (47.7 ± 11.3 %) than in those receiving other types of therapy. In addition to that, comprehensive treatment ensured the highest rates of 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year relapse-free survival (49.3 ± 11.8 %), as well as the longest median survival (7.2 years). Chemoradiotherapy was effective in 34.8 % of patients with locally advanced ENB, while in 9 out of 45 patients (20.0 %), it resulted in partial response, which suggest that such treatment can control aggressive disease course and increase survival. Surgical treatment (alone or in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy) was indicated for 64 patients. However, only in 43 of them (67.1 %), it was performed as originally planned. Five patients (7.8 %) had partially radical surgeries and sixteen patients (25.1 %) had non-radical surgeries.

Conclusion. The most effective treatment strategy for locally advanced ENB is a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Chemoradiotherapy at the first stage followed by surgery was found to be an optimal treatment scheme. Tumor sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy affects both short-term and long-term treatment outcomes. Partially radical surgeries for locally advanced ENB are acceptable if conservative treatment is planned after operation. Treatment strategy should depend on the tumor spread (stage), grade, and proliferative activity, as well as patient’s age, somatic status, and comorbidities. Multivariate analysis has demonstrated that none of treatment methods decrease survival. The most significant factors negatively affecting the prognosis were as follows: T3–4 tumor, involvement of regional lymph nodes before treatment initiation, distant metastasis, grade IV tumor, and Ki-67 index >21 %.
GABA and Glutamate Imbalance in Autism and Their Reversal as Novel Hypothesis for Effective Treatment Strategy
Authors: El-Ansary A.
Published: November 2020

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by reduced social communication and repetitive behaviors. The etiological mechanisms of ASD are still unknown; however, the GABAergic system has received considerable attention due to its potential as a therapeutic target. Based on the fact that individuals with autism demonstrate altered gene expression concomitant with impaired blood brain barrier (BBB), and gut barrier integrities, so increased glutamate levels in the blood and platelets of ASD patients can be related to lower numbers of cerebellar GABAergic neurons, less active GABA-synthesizing enzymes, and decreased brain GABA levels. Excitotoxic levels of released glutamate trigger a cascade of deleterious cellular events leading to delayed neuronal death. According to our understanding of glutamate excitotoxicity, GABA supplementation could theoretically be useful to treat certain autistic phenotypes. While there is still no effective and safe medication for glutamate-related cell damage and death, combined efforts will hopefully develop better treatment options. Here I hypothesize that an integrated treatment strategy with GABA supplements, regulation of chloride (Cl-) and magnesium (Mg2+) levels, vitamin D supplements, probiotics to enhance GABAA receptor and glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) expression, and memantine to activate glutamate transporters and inhibit NMDA receptors, could collectively reduce glutamate levels, maintain functional GABA receptors and thus treat repetitive behavior, impaired social behavior, and seizure activity in individuals with autism.

Yoga for Substance Use Disorder in Women: A Systematic Review
Authors: Brooks Jennifer , Lawlor Shauna , Turetzkin Sarah , Goodnight Christy W. , Galantino Mary Lou
Published: November 2020

It has been suggested that yoga may be an effective adjunct intervention in the management of substance use disorders (SUD). Additionally, women with SUD require different treatment approaches than men. The objective of this study was to critically evaluate the evidence for the effectiveness of yoga, specifically for women, as part of treatment for SUD. Nine electronic databases were searched from inception to January 2020. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) that evaluated any type of yoga, including yoga as a component of mindfulness-based treatment, against any type of control in individuals with any type of addiction were eligible. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Checklist and Statement, methodological quality was appraised using Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PE Dro) criteria. Ten RC Ts (eight mixed-gender and two female-focused) met the eligibility criteria. Most of these RCTs were small to medium-sized, with various methodological and analytical flaws and deficits. The types of addictions included in these studies were alcohol, drug, and nicotine addiction. Most RCTs suggested that various types of yoga, primarily Hatha Yoga and its components, led to favorable or equivalent results for SUD as an adjunct to control or treatment-as-usual interventions. There are limited results on the impact of yoga for SUD specifically focused on women and their unique needs. Although the results of mixed-gender articles are encouraging, large RCTs with gender-specific subanalyses are required to better determine the benefits specific to women incorporating yoga for SUD.
Prospects of Development of Legislation on Territories with Special Regime for Business Activity
Authors: Gromova E. A.
Published: November 2020

Territories with a special regime for business that have shown themselves to good advantage in a number of foreign countries have not yielded the expected positive results in Russia. In this regard, the issues concerning the future of special and free economic zones, regional development zones, areas of advanced social and economic development and Free Port of Vladivostok should be considered. The paper analyzes the draft Federal Law “On Preferential Regimes”. Under the draft Federal Law, it is proposed to transform most territories with a special regime for business activity into a new type, namely: special free economic zones. The paper has determined the advantages of the enactment: additional grounds for termination of the special free economic zone in case of its inefficiency; expansion of the list of preferences granted to residents; possibility of formation of portfolios of preferences in compliance with the needs of a particular region; requirements for managing companies to ensure their adherence to fair competition. The author indicates such shortcomings of the draft law as: the possibility of imposing supplementary requirements on residents of the special free economic zone and their investment projects in addition to requirements provided for by the draft law; imperfection of the contractual form of business activity implemented by residents of such zones, and the fact that the draft law’s provisions concerning transformation do not apply to a number of territories with a special regime for business activity (special free economic zones of Magadan and Kaliningrad regions, free economic zone of the Republic of Crimea). It is concluded that the idea of unifying existing territories with special regime cannot be embodied in the current version of the draft federal law “On Preferential Regimes”.
On the Issue of the Concept of Bankruptcy
Authors: Suvorov E. D.
Published: November 2020

The paper justifies the statement concerning the multiplicity of the concept of “bankruptcy”, and interpretes the relevant meanings. The author states that bankruptcy can be considered as: 1. an economic condition, failure to satisfy creditors’ claims, including the failure recognized by the court; 2. a procedure; 3. an objection on behalf of the debtor; 4. a basis for a special settlement regime with creditors and such a special settlement regime itself; 5. a type of enforcement proceedings; 6. a way of authorizing insolvency; 7. a model of administration; 8. a basis and order of liquidation of a legal entity. A preliminary agreement concerning the meaning of the term “bankruptcy” is necessary at all stages of the life of law: when a rule of law is created, applied and when it is being subjected to doctrinal debates aimed at identifying its meaning. Particular attention in the paper is paid to the concepts of insolvency and property insufficiency. The author argues that it is necessary to distinguish the signs of bankruptcy from insolvency, and the former from the grounds for initiating proceedings. In author’s opinion, the introduction of the category of insufficiency of property in 2009 as grounds for mandatory filing for bankruptcy by the debtor’s principal was a step backwards and does not meet the needs of the modern economy. To remedy the situation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation introduced the category of objective bankruptcy that is also ambiguous. The paper also focuses on bankruptcy as a special settlement regime with creditors based on the application of the principle of equality of creditors (pari passu). It is stated that this principle is the reason for the emergence, along with the executive proceedings, of a special regime, namely: bankruptcy.
Refining the 2018 Mw 7.5 Papua New Guinea Earthquake Fault-Slip Model Using Subpixel Offset
Authors: Chong Jeng-Hann , Huang Mong-Han
Published: November 2020

The Mw 7.5 earthquake that struck central Papua New Guinea in 2018 was the largest event ever recorded in the region with modern seismic instruments. The ground motions associated with this event also triggered widespread landslides and affected more than 500,000 people. However, due to the absence of a local seismic and Global Positioning System network in the vicinity, the fault location, system, and slip distribution of this earthquake are not well documented. In this study, we use the subpixel offset method on the Copernicus Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to calculate the 3D coseismic displacement of the 2018 Papua New Guinea earthquake. The results show clear fault traces that suggest coseismic slip on the Mubi fault and the Mananda fault that triggered landslides that spread out in a more than 260  km2 region. Finite-source inversions based on the subpixel offset measurements show up to 4.1 and 6.5 m coseismic slip on the Mubi and Mananda faults, respectively. Despite higher data uncertainty (∼0.4–0.8  m) of the subpixel offset data, synthetic resolution tests show resolvable slip above 8 km in depth. The lack of shallower slip on the west side of the Mananda fault could be due to an inflated geothermal gradient near the dormant volcano, Mount Sisa, as a slip barrier. The result of the coulomb stress change suggests possible southeastward slip propagation from the Mananda fault to the Mubi fault. Our work successfully resolves 3D coseismic displacement in highly vegetated terrains and demonstrates the feasibility of using the subpixel offset on SAR images to help our understanding of regional active tectonic systems.

Authors: Pournajafian Alireza , Khatibi Ali , Ghodraty Mohammad Reza , Emami Azadeh , Haji Aghajani Mona
Published: November 2020

Background: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is amongst the most critical complications after surgery. This study shows the effect of dexmedetomidine on the prevalence of postoperative cognitive impairment.
Methods: In this double-blinded clinical trial study, patients aged 60-80 years undergoing pelvic and femoral orthopedic surgery were randomly assigned in one of the two groups of the course, i.e., Dexmedetomidine (DEX) or normal saline (NS). We infuse One hour before anesthesia, one µg/kg dexmedetomidine in the group (DEX), and the same volume of normal saline (NS). Mini-Mental State Examination test (MMSE) was applied to evaluate the patients' cognitive condition, One day before the surgery, 24 and 72 hours after the surgery.
Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, sex, duration of anesthesia, duration of surgery, and the amount of bleeding during operation (P>0.0). The postoperative hematocrit level was lower than the preoperative level in the group (DEX) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MMSE test scores pre and postoperatively between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine infused before surgery has no preventive effect on POCD in elderly patients undergoing pelvic and femoral orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia.
An Investigation of the Relationship between Anthropometry (Height, Weight, and Body Mass Index) and Incidence of Low Back Pain Following Spinal Anesthesia in Elective and Emergency Surgical Procedures
Authors: Gharedaghi Reza , Rajabian Tabesh Mastaneh , Imani Farsad , Abolhasani Maryam
Published: November 2020

Background: The incidence of low back pain in adults after spinal anesthesia is rather similar to that of general anesthesia. The pain is often mild with an increased incidence of low back pain that rarely spreads to the lower extremities but persists for several days after surgery. Fear of complications of back pain after neuraxial injection is one the main reason for patient’s refusal of neuraxial anesthesia. Some studies repoted obesity and BMI above 32 as risk factors for low back pain after surgery.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between selected parameters of body composition, including the amount of total body fat and muscular tissue, and the incidence of low back pain after spinal anesthesia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 patients who were candidates for elective or emergency surgery under spinal anesthesia. At first demographic data, a history of back pain and assessment and anthropometric assessment was asked. The history of back pain and intensity of pain were asked after one day, one month and 4 months after surgery. Then the relationship between pain intensity and anthropometric data were assessed.
Results: The mean pain intensity in the normal weight group was 1.3 ± 0.63. In the overweight group, the mean pain intensity was 1.1 ± 0.41. In the obese group, the mean pain intensity was 2.2± 1.2.
Regarding the relationship between mean pain intensity and weight, BMI, and anthropometry, the incidence of pain was not related to patients' anthropometry; the mean pain intensity of these groups were compared; and the incidence of pain was not dependent on weight, BMI, and anthropometry (p-value= 0.4).
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that no correlation exists between the incidence of low back pain and mean severity of pain and anthropometric indicators such as BMI, however, low back pain lasted longer in obese patients, which requires further study to investigate the exact nature of such a relationship.
Auditory evoked potential P300 characteristics in adults with and without idiopathic bilateral tinnitus
Authors: Najafi Sirvan , Rouzbahani Masoumeh
Published: November 2020

Background and Aim: Based on neurophysio­logical measurements, auditory and non-audi­tory pathways are involved in tinnitus. People who experience tinnitus may suffer from several problems such as attention disorder. The audi­tory evoked potential P300 is an endogenous response and depends on cognitive processes like attention. The purpose of this study was to compare the auditory P300 characteristics (amp­litude and latency) in adults with and without tinnitus.
Methods: Participants were 20 adults with idio­pathic bilateral tinnitus with mean duration of 8.4 ± 4.73 months, and 20 healthy adults. The P300 was recorded using oddball paradigm con­sisted of two standard (1000 Hz) and target sti­muli (2000 Hz). To reduce eye blink during recording, all participants was instructed to look at and fixate on a dot sign located in front of them. The tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) was completed and pitch matching (PM) and loudness matching (LM) were measured in tinn­itus group.
Results: P300 amplitude was lower at both Fz and Cz electrode placements in tinnitus patients compared to the normal group, but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.57). Tinnitus pati­ents had delayed latency at Fz and Cz, but this difference was not significant either psychomet­ric and psychoacoustic assessment had no statis­tically significant correlation with P300 ampli­tude and latency.
Conclusion: It seems that P300 characteristics are not different between adults with and with­out idiopathic bilateral tinnitus, may be due to using low sample size.

Nurses' perspectives regarding the relationship between professional ethics and organizational commitment in healthcare organizations
Authors: Torkaman Mahya , Heydari Naval , Torabizadeh Camellia
Published: November 2020

Nurses' professional and ethical performances are influenced by the health organizations' environment, and high quality and holistic care can only be provided by observing the principles of professional ethics and organizational commitment. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the relationship between professional ethics and organizational commitment in nurses. This descriptive-analytic study was conducted in hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) in 2019 in Iran. The study participants included 210 public ward nurses selected using the stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using Petty Professional Ethics and Allen-Meyer Organizational Commitment questionnaires, and then analyzed by SPSS V.25. Both the mean score of the nurses' professional ethics (102.21 ± 10.89) and the mean score of the nurses' organizational commitment (95.30 ± 16.54) were at high levels. Moreover, a direct and significant relationship was found between professional ethics and organizational commitment (P= 0.009, r = 0.179). In other words, a positive correlation was found between professional ethics and organizational commitment. Considering the relationship between professional ethics and organizational commitment in nurses, managers should enhance nurses' level of adherence to ethical principles, organizational commitment and organizational attachment. Additionally, training courses can help improve nurses' professional capabilities, and hence enhancing the quality of providing healthcare services.

Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 150 Nordic questionnaires were distributed among computer users in Hamedan province and a total of 110 questionnaires were collected. Later, 60 participants (female: n=20 and male: n=40) were evaluated based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Musculoskeletal disorders and workplace ergonomic principles were considered as independent variables and quality of life dimensions were investigated as the dependent variables. Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) was applied to evaluate workplace ergonomic, Nordic questionnaire was administered to evaluated musculoskeletal disorders, and SF-36 was used to assess QOL. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Independent t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient were also run to analyze the data.
Results: According to the findings, 3% of users were in the safe zone, 16% in the alert zone, and 78% in the danger zone. The findings also showed that the most common pain segments were neck pain (85%) and back pain (75%) in women, but neck pain (52%) and back pain (55%) in men. Additionally, the results showed that ergonomics of the workplace has a negative and significant relationship with the physical dimension of QOL (R=-0/26, P=0/042). Musculoskeletal disorders have a negative and significant relationship with the general health dimension (R=-0/29, P=0/022) and with the pain dimension of the QOL (R=0/29, P=0/022). Moreover, a negative and significant relationship was observed between QOL and BMI (R=-0/49, P=0/001).
Conclusion: Based on the results, workplace ergonomics has an effect on the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders and ultimately the QOL of computer users in non-office environments and computer services.

Partindo de uma perspectiva desocidentalizante no que tange a investigação dos fluxos da cultura audiovisual que se verificam em âmbito global, o artigo discute o contrafluxo midiático das produções televisivas japonesas e sul-coreanas na Netflix. Busca-se, por um lado, contribuir para ampliar os horizontes da investigação sobre o levante de pólos “periféricos” de produção televisiva em meio aos fluxos globais e, por outro, refletir sobre a distribuição e circulação dessas produções no Brasil.
Retratos sobre a migração na série televisiva brasileira “Portugal pelos Brasileiros”
Authors: Posch Patricia , Cabecinhas Rosa
Published: November 2020

Neste artigo, focamos na relação entre o discurso midiático e as migrações a partir da perspectiva das representações sociais. Analisamos o caso do fluxo de imigração brasileira em Portugal que vem aumentando nos últimos anos, conforme retratado na primeira temporada da série televisiva brasileira “Portugal pelos Brasileiros”. Utilizamos a abordagem da Análise Crítica do Discurso para entender como a significação da experiência migratória está incorporada na série por meio das representações sociais. Como resultado, pudemos identificar que os novos imigrantes brasileiros em Portugal são retratados de maneira parcial e excludente, por meio de um discurso midiático ancorado em traços culturais e socioeconômicos específicos.

In summary, the literature reveals that child marriage has a negative impact on these indicators, and this corroborates the urge to eliminate this phenomenon, which will ensure women’s right to a full economic and social life.
Corrupção e Economia: análise da influência do índice de percepção da corrupção sobre o crescimento econômico, a dívida pública e a taxa de desemprego
Authors: Rodrigues Ian Vinicius Farias , Jung Aline Tatiane Fank , Murtinho Max Nunes
Published: November 2020

A corrupção não é um problema apenas no Brasil. Trata-se de um problema que atinge números elevados no mundo todo. Mesmo em países desenvolvidos a corrupção está presente. Como a corrupção política implica no uso indevido dos recursos públicos, é razoável supor que contribua para a ineficiência econômica. Diante disso, o artigo tem como objetivo analisar se há relação de causalidade entre a corrupção brasileira e o crescimento econômico, a dívida pública e a taxa de desemprego, nos períodos entre 2008 e 2018. Para isso, foram realizadas análises estatísticas de correlação. Como proxy de corrupção utilizou-se o Índice de Percepção da Corrupção – IPC e os dados de cadastros irregulares do Tribunal de Contas da União. A hipótese da pesquisa é a de que o aumento da corrupção impacta negativamente no crescimento econômico, dívida pública e na taxa de desemprego. Os resultados dos testes estatísticos demonstraram não haver correlação entre as variáveis analisadas e, portanto, rejeita-se a hipótese de causalidade a corrupção e as variáveis econômicas.
La nueva carrera por el dominio del espacio ultraterrestre
Authors: Ruiz Laura , Gómez Gómez Edgar Leonardo
Published: November 2020

Este artículo de reflexión, derivado de investigación, es el resultado de un estudio exploratorio hecho por los autores. El estudio se centra en el uso tanto civil como militar actual de las órbitas satelitales terrestres y la utilización de estas en un posible conflicto internacional que requiera las capacidades espaciales de los países involucrados. El análisis se realiza a partir del marco del denominado Tratado del espacio exterior de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas. Así mismo, este estudio presenta un enfoque tanto jurídico como técnico que permite visualizar un posible conflicto y el incumplimiento del mandato de no militarización del espacio exterior. Para ello, se presentará una recopilación de antecedentes históricos de la carrera espacial centrada en aquellos hitos que han permitido a la humanidad lograr la evolución tecnológica actual. Seguidamente, se presentará un análisis normativo aplicable a las tecnologías satelitales. Además, se mostrarán referentes tecnológicos de sistemas que son usados actualmente para propósitos civiles y militares.Este estudio de contexto permitirá resaltar las amenazas y las posibilidades de un conflicto internacional mediante el análisis de las capacidades institucionales y militares que los países que son potencia en el desarrollo de tecnologías espaciales están desarrollando. Una vez se establezca que es real y latente la posibilidad del conflicto que hace uso de capacidades militares en el espacio ultraterrestre, se analizarán los aspectos principales del concepto de militarización del espacio y su respectiva normatividad. En último lugar, se presentarán las conclusiones del estudio: que a la fecha se encuentra militarizado el espacio y que es necesaria una actualización de la normativa espacial teniendo en cuenta la antigüedad de la normatividad.

La presente investigación pretende estimar la presencia del síndrome de burnout también conocido como “síndrome de desgaste profesional” o “síndrome del quemado en el trabajo”, y su relación con la carga laboral administrativa y operativa en la población de pilotos instructores de th-67 en la Escuela de  helicópteros para las Fuerzas Armadas de Colombia. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con enfoque mixto para identificar la presencia del síndrome de burnout mediante la aplicación del test de Maslach burnout inventory, el cual evalúa tres dimensiones: realización personal, agotamiento emocional y despersonalización. De igual forma, se tuvo en cuenta la asociación con las condiciones laborales de los pilotos instructores considerando tanto las operaciones de instrucción y vuelo, como las labores administrativas y militares. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que la presencia del síndrome de burnout en los pilotos instructores no es frecuente, como se verá en los resultados de las dimensiones analizadas.Así mismo, no se observó asociación entre los factores laborales (horas de preparación, tiempo en el cargo administrativo, horas en cargo adicional, carga administrativa y años de instructor en TH-67).
