SOCIOLOGIA AMBIENTAL: uma análise dos possíveis efeitos socioambientais pré-implantação do projeto da Usina Hidrelétrica de Marabá
Authors: Silva Letícia Costa
Published: June 2024

No contexto da Conferência de Estocolmo de 1972, começa um movimento nas ciências humanas — que leva à fundação da sociologia ambiental — de produção de pesquisas relativas à problemática ambiental na sociedade contemporânea, cuja preocupação está centrada  na globalização dos efeitos socioambientais e a produção de riscos típicos dessa sociedade. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem como foco a região amazônica e seus habitantes, que sofrem com alterações no seu ecossistema e nas suas relações sociais tradicionais. Analisa-se os possíveis efeitos socioambientais a serem causados pela pré-implantação do projeto Hidrelétrica de Marabá na Amazônia, mais especificamente na tradicional comunidade pesqueira da Vila Apinagés, em São João do Araguaia-PA. A metodologia adotada foi a revisão da literatura que discorre sobre as consequências do avanço da sociedade industrial e seus efeitos socioambientais atrelados à implantação de grandes projetos na Amazônia. Como resultado desta inicial pesquisa bibliográfica, constatou-se que a iminente instalação da hidrelétrica de Marabá, se construída, afetará áreas de diversos municípios, levando ao deslocamento de várias comunidades tradicionais, como os moradores da vila Apinagés. Por isso, a importância do fomento para constantes discussões sobre e como foram disseminados esses projetos na região amazônica, articulando os debates com a atuação de movimentos sociais, dentre outros agentes de reação e reivindicação por justiça social e ambiental.
RAÇA, MISCIGENAÇÃO E O PROBLEMA NACIONAL EM CASA-GRANDE & SENZALA
Authors: Cordeiro Anderson dos Santos
Published: June 2024

Este artigo é derivado da pesquisa monográfica que teve como objetivo analisar Casa-Grande & Senzala, obra publicada em 1933 pelo sociólogo e intelectual pernambucano Gilberto Freyre. A obra que está para completar 91 anos desde sua primeira publicação foi objeto de críticas pelo uso da linguagem sexualizada, da relativização do colonialismo e das tensões entre poder e raça presentes nos antagonismos entre senhor e escravo; senzala e casa-grande; liberdade e escravidão. Ao mesmo tempo, sua contribuição metodológica e sociológica foi enfatizada, com o uso das fontes orais, materiais de campo e sua análise da raça pela ótica social. Assim, este trabalho busca expor alguns dos resultados obtidos na monografia a partir da questão racial, mais precisamente sobre a mestiçagem enquanto objeto, compreendendo como o autor situou esta lógica. Ao final, a partir de algumas inferências não incluídas na monografia, exemplificaremos como as nomenclaturas são utilizadas, empregues e operadas por Freyre para compreender as dinâmicas da miscigenação e das relações raciais.

Structural and functional changes in the brain of cosmonauts under the influence of microgravity
Authors: Latartsev KV , Demina PN , Yashina VA , Kaspranskiy RR
Published: June 2024

During a space flight, cosmonauts have to adapt to new unique environmental conditions. As a result, they accumulate changes to their bodily systems that can eventually cause undesirable consequences potentially detrimental to the success of the mission. The review examines research papers investigating functional and structural changes occurring in the brain in the context of a spaceflight. Microgravity is believed to be the main factor behind the said changes: it causes redistribution of fluid in the body and conditions adaptive neural rearrangements at the microstructural level. Other elements peculiar to a spaceflight that can have this or that effect on the brain are also considered. In addition, this review scopes publications that allow assumptions about the specific causes of the registered morphofunctional alterations in the brain of cosmonauts.

Published: June 2024

Background: Forensic experts play an important role in forensic science. Identification through DNA analysis is an accurate and stable diagnostic tool. However, along with the development of DNA material examination, problems arise since DNA undergoes degradation, commonly known as degraded DNA. High-temperature exposure is one factor in DNA degradation. Bone and dental tissues are among the materials most resistant to this degradation. Bone and teeth are the most solid parts of the human body because they contain hydroxyapatite and extracellular matrices that protect DNA (nuclear DNA and mtDNA). DNA degradation due to high-temperature exposure on bone and dental DNA samples in forensic identification has been extensively unknown.

The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) in 78 drug-resistant clinical isolates (25 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 53 Escherichia coli strains) using phenotypic and molecular methods. The phenotypic method was performed using a double-disk synergy test (DDST), while the genotypic method screened for the blaSHV, blaCTX-M13U, and blaOXA-10 genes using specific primers. The phenotypic results showed that out of 53 tested strains of E. coli, 17 (32.07%) produced ESBL. Similarly, out of 25 tested strains of K. pneumoniae, 8 (32%) produced ESBL. Genotypic detection showed that in E. coli, the most abundant gene was SHV, present in 24 strains (45.28%), followed by blaOXA-10 in 23 strains (43.39%) and CTX-M-3 in 8 strains (15.09%). In K. pneumoniae, SHV was detected in 12 strains (48%), followed by OXA-10 and CTX-M-3, each found in 5 strains (20%).

Published: June 2024

This research addresses the lack of understanding regarding the relationship between organizational culture, employee motivation, transformational leadership, and employee performance. A literature analysis of 200 journal articles using the Publish or Perish (PoP) version 8 program shows that a strong and positive organizational culture enhances employee motivation and fosters a work environment that supports innovation and teamwork. Transformational leadership, with its clear vision and emotional support, contributes to the improvement of both individual and group performance. However, further research is needed in various industrial sectors and diverse organizational cultures. In conclusion, the relationship between organizational culture, employee motivation, and transformational leadership have significant effect on employee performance. This implies that managers need to create a positive work environment and effectively implement transformational leadership to boost organizational productivity and success.
