Escravidão na África
Authors: Valença Félix Mariana
Published: November 2023

Este artigo busca tratar da escravidão enquanto um dos aspectos ligados à história da África e às sociedades africanas, apresentando de maneira sucinta e objetiva a evidente diferença entre os tipos de escravidão existentes nesse continente e seus derivados, tratando de enfatizar as características particulares de cada sistema, práticas e sociedades. Tem como propósito romper com uma visão equivocada e relativizadora desse processo de escravização de pessoas, que constantemente iguala as diferentes práticas escravistas, na intenção de justificar e amenizar a culpa dos europeus nesse processo. Essa pesquisa tem caráter bibliográfico, baseia-se e problematiza questões postas por autores como John Kelly Thornton (2004), Walter Rodney (1975) e Paul Lovejoy (2002), realizando um diálogo historiográfico que discute os conceitos de escravidão, escravo e escravizado

Ao longo da história do rock como gênero musical, o Diabo se tornou uma figura central, seja em suas temáticas, representações ou reputação. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o papel da canção Sympathy for the Devil dos Rolling Stones nesse processo, bem como sua construção do Diabo como sujeito histórico e a representação dos eventos históricos descritos na letra, identificando o que tais representações nos revelam tanto sobre a percepção da banda sobre contexto histórico mundial no momento de criação da música, quanto o seu impacto na história dos usos da figura do Diabo no rock. Para tanto, a análise proposta baseia-se nas categorias elaboradas por Paul Friedlander em seu método "janela do rock”.
O Corcunda de Notre Dame (1831)
Authors: Aparecida Ramos Larissa
Published: November 2023

Este artigo visa, por meio do romance Notre Dame de Paris de Victor Hugo, publicado em 1831, analisar como o autor projeta as práticas herméticas tão recorrentes do Renascimento dos séculos XV e XVI em seu romance, assim como também pensará de que forma a ação desses personagens, primordialmente as de Claude Frollo, representam alguma alegoria sobre o anticlericalismo envolto nas revoluções do século XIX, especificamente a de 1830, conforme a interpretação de Jorge Bastos (2013). Logo, o objetivo deste trabalho refere-se à maneira com que a visualização desse cenário por Victor Hugo se projetou na literatura e em seus personagens, do mesmo modo que relata a contribuição da pesquisa para a ampliação dos estudos sobre a temática, gerando ainda mais discussões acerca das intersecções entre história e literatura.
(Re)pensando as mulheres na História a partir da literatura medieval
Authors: Passos Ferreira Joseane
Published: November 2023

Christine de Pizan (1364-1429) é uma das primeiras mulheres a viver de seus escritos. Dentre eles, a obra A Cidade das Damas (1405) é uma grande referência. Nesta Pizan constrói uma alegoria no formato de cidade-refúgio, fazendo uso da história de grandes mulheres. Ao longo da obra, a escritora faz uso das representações de rainhas e imperatrizes lendárias da Antiguidade. O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre esses usos e escolhas por Pizan. Fazendo uso do conceito de queenship, em paralelo com o Gênero, analisamos as características e funções que a escritora medieval atribui a elas. Também utilizamos da História Global para questionar os limites e conexões entre medievo e Antiguidade. Visamos observar como as rainhas e imperatrizes da Antiguidade, citadas, trazem uma nova perspectiva de agência feminina para pensarmos a História.
Neural Circuits Underlying Multifeature Extraction in the Retina

Published: November 2023

Classic ON–OFF direction-selective ganglion cells (DSGCs) that encode the four cardinal directions were recently shown to also be orientation-selective. To clarify the mechanisms underlying orientation selectivity, we employed a variety of electrophysiological, optogenetic, and gene knock-out strategies to test the relative contributions of glutamate, GABA, and acetylcholine (ACh) input that are known to drive DSGCs, in male and female mouse retinas. Extracellular spike recordings revealed that DSGCs respond preferentially to either vertical or horizontal bars, those that are perpendicular to their preferred–null motion axes. By contrast, the glutamate input to all four DSGC types measured using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques was found to be tuned along the vertical axis. Tuned glutamatergic excitation was heavily reliant on type 5A bipolar cells, which appear to be electrically coupled via connexin 36 containing gap junctions to the vertically oriented processes of wide-field amacrine cells. Vertically tuned inputs are transformed by the GABAergic/cholinergic “starburst” amacrine cells (SACs), which are critical components of the direction-selective circuit, into distinct patterns of inhibition and excitation. Feed-forward SAC inhibition appears to “veto” preferred orientation glutamate excitation in dorsal/ventral (but not nasal/temporal) coding DSGCs “flipping” their orientation tuning by 90° and accounts for the apparent mismatch between glutamate input tuning and the DSGC's spiking response. Together, these results reveal how two distinct synaptic motifs interact to generate complex feature selectivity, shedding light on the intricate circuitry that underlies visual processing in the retina.

Stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING, also named MITA, ERIS, MPYS, or TMEM173) plays an essential role in DNA virus‐ or cytosolic DNA‐triggered innate immune responses. Here, we demonstrate that the RING‐in‐between RING (RBR) E3 ubiquitin ligase family member RING‐finger protein (RNF) 144A interacts with STING and promotes its K6‐linked ubiquitination at K236, thereby enhancing STING translocation from the ER to the Golgi and downstream signaling pathways. The K236R mutant of STING displays reduced activity in promoting innate immune signal transduction. Overexpression of RNF144A upregulates HSV‐1‐ or cytosolic DNA‐induced immune responses, while knockdown of RNF144A expression has the opposite effect. In addition, Rnf144a‐deficient cells exhibit impaired DNA virus‐ or cytosolic DNA‐triggered signaling, and RNF144A protects mice from DNA virus infection. In contrast, RNF144A does not affect RNA virus‐ or cytosolic RNA‐triggered innate immune responses. Taken together, our findings identify a new positive regulator of DNA virus‐ or cytosolic DNA‐triggered signaling pathways and a critical ubiquitination site important for fully functional STING during antiviral responses.

Measurements of plasma metanephrines and methoxytyramine provide a sensitive test for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. False-positive results remain a problem, particularly in patients taking norepinephrine reuptake-blocking drugs. Therefore, in this retrospective observational study, we measured plasma metanephrines and methoxytyramine in 61 patients taking norepinephrine reuptake blockers (tricyclic antidepressants or serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) and 17 others taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, all without pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. We highlight a singular case with strongly elevated plasma normetanephrine and methoxytyramine concentrations associated with norepinephrine reuptake blockade. Data were compared to results from 252 and 1804 respective patients with and without tumors. Plasma normetanephrine was 40% higher (P < 0.0001) in patients on norepinephrine reuptake blockers and methoxytyramine was 127% higher (P = 0.0062) in patients taking tricyclic antidepressants compared to patients not taking uptake blockers and without tumors. The corresponding false-positive rates rose (P < 0.0001) from 4.8% to 23.0% for normetanephrine and from 0.9% to 28.6% for methoxytyramine. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors did not increase plasma concentrations of metabolites. In the highlighted case, plasma normetanephrine and methoxytyramine were elevated more than six times above upper reference limits. A pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, however, was excluded by functional imaging. All biochemical test results normalized after discontinuation of norepinephrine reuptake blockers. These findings clarify that norepinephrine reuptake blockers usually result in mild elevations of normetanephrine and methoxytyramine that, nevertheless, significantly increase the number of false-positive results. There can, however, be exceptions where increases in normetanephrine and methoxytyramine reach pathological levels. Such exceptions may reflect failure of centrally mediated sympathoinhibition that normally occurs with the norepinephrine reuptake blockade.
Prevención algorítmica de la violencia de género: la discrecionalidad policial como decisión tecnológica en el contexto de VIOGÉN
Authors: San Martín Segura David
Published: November 2023

La prevención de la violencia contra las mujeres ha sido un espacio relevante de irrupción de técnicas actuariales para la gestión de los riesgos de agresión, sobre todo en el contexto anglosajón. Muchas de esas aplicaciones son de uso policial, buscando una optimización de los recursos disponibles bajo un imperativo gerencial de la praxis punitiva. En el contexto español, la implantación del sistema VioGén, en 2007, implicó la incorporación de un protocolo policial para la valoración del riesgo de agresión (VPR/VPER), basado en un algoritmo actuarial encapsulado como aplicación de software. El artículo explora sus características en cuanto «tecnología normativa» de tipo algorítmico. Una tecnología de orientación predictiva, pero alejada en su complejidad y abstracción de las aplicaciones de smart policing existentes en otros contextos. Ello no despeja, sin embargo, algunos problemas propios de los algoritmos punitivos, fruto de las fricciones entre las normatividades jurídica y tecnológica.

Variation sur le thème du célèbre questionnaire de Proust, le questionnaire des choux de la Revue canadienne des études sur l’alimentation vise à procurer une expérience savoureuse, et éventuellement surprenante, sous des apparences modestes. (Et oui, certaines questions se révèlent un peu plus croustillantes que les autres.) Les questions, simples en elles-mêmes, forment peu à peu, par leur combinaison, une joyeuse pyramide d’extravagance. La manière dont ce croquembouche composé est disposé et dégusté est toutefois laissée à la discrétion des personnes répondantes et du lectorat. Les personnes interrogées sont invitées à satisfaire leur gourmandise en répondant à autant de questions qu’elles le souhaitent. La toute dernière – Quelle question ajouteriez-vous à ce questionnaire? – incite chaque répondant à relever ce mélange d’une touche de son propre biome et de sa curiosité, rafraîchissant ainsi la culture de départ, qui restera nourrissante pour les futurs participants et participantes.
Modelado de idoneidad ambiental e implicaciones del cambio climático en la distribución de Pseudotsuga menziesii (MIRB.) Franco para México

Published: November 2023

[Introduction] Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco is a forest species of great importance for its ecosystem services and commercialization. Currently, it has been documented that climate change is affecting populations in the north of the continent; however, how these changes will affect the distribution of the species in the future has not been assessed. [Objective] This study aimed to model the environmental suitability and potential distribution of P. menziesii over three periods: 2040, 2060, and 2080. [Methodology] First, environmental suitability and potential distribution were estimated based on records and bioclimatic variables with the help of MaxEnt. Then, transfers were made to two scenarios of carbon emissions in three periods. Finally, the loss of extension and decrease of environmental suitability were evaluated as a percentage. [Results] P. menziesii has a current potential distribution of 164,110 km2. The areas with the highest environmental suitability (> 0.5) were located in the north of the country, specifically in the states of the north. However, under the climate change scenarios, these zones suffered a greater decrease in their environmental suitability of > 50%, and a reduction in their extension of between 50.7% and 92.6%. In contrast, the most resilient populations to climate change were those in the south. [Conclusions] Pseudotsuga menziesii is favored by low temperatures; due to this, a drastic reduction in its potential distribution is expected. Coupled with this, environmental suitability will drop to more than 50% in the northern regions of the country. With a drastic loss of the area, the prevalence of the species could be at a point of decline.
“Wise priest”: dominant agent in the religious field
Authors: Panteleeva Anna
Published: November 2023

The article presents the results of a study conducted in one of the parishes of the Lipetsk region from 2019 to 2022. The study took place in two stages: the first stage took place in July-August 2019, the second - in July-August 2022. The study used predominantly non-included observation. During the study, the author kept observation diaries. On the example of the parish of D., the author of the article studied, described and analyzed the practices of interaction between the priest and parishioners.The theoretical sources of the study were the works of P. Bourdieu. In the article we pay special attention to the possibilities of applying the theoretical model of P. Bourdieu in the study of religious tradition. Our results show that, despite not certain limitations, the theoretical framework we have chosen allows us to see and describe the unmanifested mechanisms that affect the interaction between the priest and parishioners.One of the features of the arrival of D., which aroused research interest, was its rather high degree of conflict. For a long period, the parishioners quite actively and uncompromisingly clashed with all the priests who were appointed to this parish. The situation changed not so long ago, after the appointment of Fr. A. The new priest managed to build a more balanced relationship with the arrival and stop the demonstratively defiant behavior of the parishioners.The conflict between priest and parishioner can be described in terms of habitus, fields, capital, and the hierarchy of the dominant positions of the field. These observations allow us to state that in the conflict between the priest and the parish, the conflict of two habituses is manifested, the carriers of which are, on the one hand, the priest, and on the other, the parishioners. The basis for updating the contradictions is the reduction of the distance, both physical and social, between the priest and the parish, as well as the fundamental impossibility of an effective transfer of capital between fields.Overcoming conflicts, we assume, may be associated with the restoration of social distance and the efforts of the priest to change mental structures, which should subsequently lead to a change in the habitus of parishioners.
“The first experience of a civil memorial service”: the mourning morning at the Moscow art theatre 13 February 1910
Authors: Perekatov Andrey
Published: November 2023

The article, which based on materials from pre-revolutionary periodicals, describes in detail and systematically analyzes the mourning meeting in honor of the memory of actress Vera Komissarzhevskaya. This meeting was organized and held on the morning of February 13, 1910 by the founders of the Moscow Art Theater - V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko and K.S. Stanislavsky. This memorial event, which took place in the foyer of the Moscow Art Theater, was named by V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko "the first experience of a civil memorial service," during his opening speech. The event received such a definition, since no clergyman took part in it, due to a ban from the Moscow church authorities to serve a church memorial service for Komissarzhevskaya in the theater building in Kamergersky Lane. The article hypothesizes that the term "civil memorial service" (“grazhdanskaia panikhida”) was used for the first time at that time.Funeral and memorial ceremonies without the participation of the clergy were sometimes held in Russia before that (during the revolutionary events of 1905). The meeting on February 13, 1910 at the Moscow Art Theater, being an important milestone in the evolution of the Russian civil funeral rite, stood apart in this row. The civil memorial ceremony for Komissarzhevskaya had no direct internal connection with the current political conflicts (within the framework of which the atheistic worldview was already openly opposed to the religious worldview). It rather reflected the discrepancy in the perception of the status of dramatic art and the personality of the dramatic actor-artist (as well as personal creativity in general) between the church consciousness typical of that time and the consciousness of the creative intelligentsia, within the limits of a single Christian paradigm. "The first experience of a civil memorial service" is considered in the article not as an attempt to redesign, but as an attempt to strengthen the existing memorial rite in the therapeutic aspect, adapting it to the mental characteristics of the artistic community.
“Life of Constantine” by Eusebius of Caesarea as “sacred history”: a typology of Moses — Constantine
Authors: Prikhodko Maksim
Published: November 2023

In the article, the conceptual model of the holy emperor in one of the first monuments of Christian hagiographic literature, “Life Constantine” by Eusebius of Caesarea, is investigated. The analysis is based on the typological comparison of Emperor Constantine with the biblical figure of Moses, conducted by Eusebius. As part of this comparison, the development of a “sacred image” in history is traced, which forms a kind of “sacred history” beyond the biblical framework. Philo of Alexandria’s view of the unity of the laws of nature and the written legislation of Moses as having a single source - the Logos of God, Eusebius extends to the conformity of the biblical character and the contemporary historical figure of the emperor. Following the Logos, Constantine performs the same pattern Moses fulfilled in his life. In the development of the typological line of Moses-Constantine, three moments of the formation of the figure of Constantine in sacred history are traced: receiving the kingdom, accepting the ministry of the priesthood, and gaining the gift of prophecy. The descriptive convergence of the biblical story and modern (to the author) history means not so much the dependence of one narrative on the other but their general dependence on the Logos acting in history as the Law of nature, which guides the course of history and shapes its events. Eusebius reflects in the biography of the emperor the Principle, which equally acts both in the sacred events of the history of Moses and in the relatively recent events for Eusebius Constantine. In this single Beginning, the biblical story, perceived “by ear” and therefore having the “look of a myth”, acquires visible features, and current reality is endowed with the meaning of the sacred biblical story. The “Life of Constantine” thus demonstrates the mechanism of fixation in the memory of sacred events that make up a particular, sacred line of history.
Acting subjects in the Christian religion. Created subjects. A fragment from a French-Russian thesaurus of religious vocabulary
Authors: Zhukovskaia Nadezhda
Published: November 2023

This work is a continuation of the publication of separate parts of the Systematic French-Russian Dictionary of Religious Vocabulary. This is part of a large section on "Characters of the Christian Religion", which also includes a subsection on "God", which has not yet been published. The material of this publication is divided into chapters, which unite the vocabulary devoted to certain aspects of the topic. As in previous cases, not only individual lexemes are presented, but also the usual phrases accepted in the religious language, clichés, statements characteristic of Orthodoxy and Catholicism and reflecting a special view of the world order. Speaking about the purely linguistic side, one must keep in mind that the Russian religious usage is characterized by the use of more archaic lexemes than the French one. Therefore, we considered it possible to include, along with the usual translation into Russian, also especially original Russian equivalents of Orthodox authors, Church Slavonicisms, if they occur in the texts of the XX-XXI centuries. In this case, such translations are marked church-arch.As in previous publications, expressions in quotation marks not only illustrate the use of a single word, but also contain, as a rule, a new unit or reveal the content of a concept related to the section. Usually they are made up of elements (both individual lexemes and phrases) appearing in French and Russian sources, but are not direct quotations. This work was submitted for review to a candidate of theology, a specialist in comparative theology, rector of the St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York, Fr. Igor (Vyzhanov), whom I thank for thoughtful reading and help. At the same time, the work on the topic (as in previous cases) is far from being completed by the publication of this story, and all comments, both conceptual and purely linguistic, please send to my email address.
Regarding the study of socio-psychological characteristics of present-day monks
Authors: Kuznetsov Agafangel
Published: November 2023

Monasticism as a socio-psychological phenomenon has passed a long evolutionary path. For several centuries, certain elements of monastic life and the organizational structure have undergone changes, but the basic essence of monastic service has remained unchanged. The study of the socio-psychological portrait of modern Orthodox monasticism in the context of radical changes in socio-political, cultural and spiritual life in our country is relevant in the context of the social and pedagogical ministry of Orthodox monasteries in Russia, the dynamics of their development in accordance with the ongoing changes in the life of society, its social needs. Currently, there are several works devoted to modern monasticism as a historical, cultural and socio-cultural phenomenon, but none of the researchers focused on the socio-psychological features of the perception of monastic ministry by the monastics themselves. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to highlight the results of the study of modern Orthodox monasticism in the light of socio-psychological processes and public relations to monastic asceticism. Psychodiagnostic methods, biographical method and included observation were used as research methods. The results obtained allow us to judge the motivational features of monastic tonsure, some personal characteristics of representatives of modern monasticism, gender differences in the evaluation of their ministry among those who ascribe in male and female monasteries.

Igreja no metaverso
Authors: Sbardelotto Moisés
Published: November 2023

Em meados de 2022, foi anunciada a celebração de uma “primeira missa no metaverso” transmitida por uma rede de TV de inspiração católica brasileira, fato que gerou discussões diversas sobre o fenômeno religioso e a prática litúrgica em ambientes não convencionais. Para além do aspecto litúrgico de tal rito, emerge a necessidade de pensar o metaverso à luz da práxis pastoral da Igreja. Para isso, primeiramente, examinaremos o próprio conceito de metaverso e o modo como vem sendo debatido e apresentado recentemente. Em seguida, aproximaremos a noção de metaverso à experiência religiosa, de modo mais amplo, para, posteriormente, refletirmos, especificamente, sobre a prática litúrgica, particularmente cristã-católica, nos ambientes digitais. Com isso, poderemos analisar de modo mais detalhado a celebração dessa “primeira missa metaversal”, levantando algumas provocações a partir de alguns de seus desdobramentos teológicos, litúrgicos e pastorais.

O objetivo é verificar o papel moderador dos choques de carreira na relação indireta entre vivenciar um chamado ocupacional e a percepção de empregabilidade, via desenvolvimento profissional proativo. A metodologia utilizou modelagem de equações estruturais com estimativa por mínimos quadrados parciais. Os resultados indicam que não houve relação positiva entre vivenciar um chamado e percepção de empregabilidade. Além disso, o desenvolvimento profissional proativo não mediou a relação entre vivenciar um chamado e percepção de empregabilidade, assim como choques de carreira positivos e negativos não moderam a relação indireta entre vivenciar um chamado e percepção de empregabilidade via desenvolvimento profissional proativo.
Sensemaking e declínio organizacional: narrativas da mídia e dos gestores de livrarias de Uberlândia – MG
Authors: Santos Isabela Ladeia , Borges Jacquelaine Florindo
Published: November 2023

O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a construção de sentido (sensemaking) de proprietários de pequenas livrarias na cidade de Uberlândia – MG a partir de macro narrativas da mídia sobre declínio do setor de livrarias. Este estudo está fundamentado na perspectiva do sensemaking organizacional como um processo narrativo e no conceito de declínio organizacional. Nos procedimentos metodológicos, utiliza-se o método de pesquisa narrativa, por meio de uma análise da narrativa jornalística da mídia sobre o negócio de livros no país e a realização de entrevistas narrativas com gestores de pequenas livrarias da cidade de Uberlândia-MG. Os resultados mostram que, ainda que o setor de livrarias como um todo enfrente mudanças na digitalização das vendas e consumo de livros, além da chagada da empresa Amazon ao Brasil, os gestores interpretam essas mudanças de modo diferente. As pequenas livrarias passaram a se especializar em nichos e reduziram a estrutura de custos, grandes livrarias buscaram atrair clientes pelo preço, o que impactou o lucro e não trouxe os resultados esperados por essas grandes empresas.
Digital Mobility Platforms: Alternative Paths for Labor And Income
Authors: Portes Jerônimo Henrique , Vargas Claudio Jardim , Suda Paula Massako Bernardes , Perez Gilberto
Published: November 2023

By enabling new business models, digital platforms are transforming traditional economy and generating a multitude of discussions around the globe. Changes experienced by technological advances are being discussed by governments, private sector and especially by the academic field. One of the biggest impacts related to the phenomenon concerns transformation of labor relations. This article aims to discuss these relationships through an exploratory research of qualitative nature coupled with the application of participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Nine mobility application drivers from the greater São Paulo (Brasil) region participated in the study. One of the main findings is that drivers find in these applications a more interesting work opportunity than in formal markets. For the sampled interviewees, the ratio of earnings from the platforms is four times greater than the salaries they used to receive in their former jobs. These findings cannot be generalized, but they corroborate a view of applications as an alternative for labor and income aligned with macro changes happening that impact labor relationships.
Co-Occurrence Between Salmon Farming, Alien American Mink (Neogale vison), and Endangered Otters in Patagonia
Authors: Medina-Vogel Gonzalo , Calvo-Mac Carlos , Delgado-Parada Nicole , Molina-Maldonado Gabriela , Johnson-Padilla Stephanie , Berland-Arias Paulette
Published: November 2023

The southern river otter (Lontra provocax) and the marine otter (Lontra felina) are endangered species that inhabit Chile. In southern Chile, both species cohabit with the American mink (Neogale vison), an invasive exotic species. The Chilean aquaculture industry has grown exponentially since the late 1980s, with salmon farming taking place from central Chile to the Patagonian fjords and channels. This study assessed co-occurrence between otters, mink, and aquaculture in Patagonia by (1) distributing a survey among workers, fisheries personnel, and aquaculture inspectors concerning observations of otters and mink inside or around aquaculture facilities and outcomes; and (2) a geographical assessment of distribution overlap between known otter territory and salmon farming-registered facilities. We recorded the first anecdotal evidence of interaction, described as co-occurrence, among native otters, American mink, and salmon aquaculture in Patagonia, which varied among seasons and seems to be increasing. We also recorded evidence of difficulty in recognition of the three mustelids among respondents. There is a geographically extended interaction between otters and salmon farms in Chile. The evidence of interaction among alien American mink, native endangered otters, and aquaculture is an early alarm for human–wildlife conflict, and further studies are recommended to ensure native otter conservation.
The Politics of Jewish Exclusion in Israel – the Case of Ethiopian Jews
Authors:   University of Warsaw (Poland), Pogrebna Alisa
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the phenomenon of marginal identities in Israel, focusing on the Ethiopian Jewish community as a representative case study. As a multicultural nation, Israel grapples with the intricacies of integrating diverse ethnic and religious groups into its social fabric. Ethiopian Jews, a small and unique group in the Israeli social landscape, face multifaceted challenges in their quest for acceptance. The research delves into the complexities of identity formation within the Ethiopian Jewish community, considering the interplay of their history of immigration to Israel, unique religious practices, and the process of integration into Israeli society. It is accompanied by comparisons to other aliyot, in particular Mizrahi Jews and post-Soviet Jews. By analyzing the power dynamics that define Ethiopian Israelis’ status within Israel’s imagined community, this paper seeks to unveil the reasons behind their marginalization in the country, in particular focusing on the construction of Israeli national discourse. Ultimately, this paper aims to deepen the understanding of marginal identities in Israel, using the example of Ethiopian Jews to shed light on the broader challenges faced by marginalized communities in diverse societies. The paper offers valuable insights for policymakers, social advocates, and scholars striving to promote inclusivity and social cohesion within multicultural nations.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the restrictions imposed by financialization on domestic policy space, especially in emerging economies, in light of the actions of credit rating agencies. The working hypothesis is that these agencies, in their interaction with governments, act to constrain the policy space from their position in the international financial system. Thereby, they operate in favor of the financial markets’ agenda through the issuance of sovereign ratings and at the discursive level. The methodology draws on the case study of Brazil, based on sovereign ratings and reports issued by S&P Global, Moody’s, and Fitch Ratings, which shows that such agencies have a vast repertoire to promote the orthodox neoliberal agenda in the national political and economic process.
State planning and the sustainable development convention: an introduction
Authors: FEIJÓ CARMEM , FEIL FERNANDA , PESSOA LINNIT
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT The climate crisis is a humanitarian crisis. Extreme weather events disrupt the world, and adaptation and mitigation policies should be part of the National States’ planning. Failing to meet the target set by the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the temperature rise to 1.5ºC or a maximum of 2ºC by 2050 compared to pre-industrial levels, threatens living standards and conditions. In this context, the State needs to resume its role as a promoter of public policies capable of bringing stability, reducing inequality and establishing rules for planning aimed at long-term growth with environmental sustainability - i.e., growth with economic development in the context of the climate crisis. The sustainable green transition process requires coordination among economic agents in a new configuration of production relations - a new Sustainable Development Convention. This process should involve the active participation of the State, the market and civil society. Therefore, the resumption of State planning practices will be essential to coordinate the allocation of resources and direct economies toward a sustainable green transition. Promoting a change in the economic convention focused on the sustainable green transition is essential to face the challenge ahead. Hence, economic planning is part of the sustainable green transition strategy. This article argues for the need for a Sustainable Development Convention that rescues the developmental State in counterpoint to the neoliberal State, primarily subordinated to the rentier interests of the financial system.
Dominação burguesa entre o velho e o novo: a ascensão da extrema-direita no Brasil
Authors: Duarte Kamilla Alves
Published: November 2023

Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o processo de ascensão da extrema-direita no Brasil, que culmina na vitória de Bolsonaro, e seu significado para a dinâmica de acumulação do capital. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa tem natureza qualitativa, de cunho bibliográfico, fundamentada no materialismo histórico-dialético, o qual permite capturar as múltiplas determinações do objeto sob um prisma de totalidade. Aponta como resultado que o bolsonarismo reatualiza a via autocrática de transformação capitalista no país, de modo a ajustar a dinâmica interna aos interesses de acumulação global do capital.

Abstract: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among different sociodemographic groups of adolescents from indigenous communities in Chiapas, Mexico. A cross-sectional prevalence study was performed in urban and rural communities in the Tzotzil-Tzeltal and Selva regions of Chiapas. A sample of 253 adolescents was studied, of whom 48% were girls and 52% were boys. A descriptive analysis of quantitative variables was performed using measures of central tendency and dispersion. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors stratified by sex, geographical area, years of schooling, and ethnicity of the mothers was estimated. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was analyzed in relation to the sociodemographic characteristics of the study population. Low HDL-c (51%) was the predominant cardiovascular risk factor. Girls had a higher prevalence of abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and borderline total cholesterol than boys. High diastolic blood pressure was more prevalent in boys. Adolescents from urban areas had a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity and insulin resistance than adolescents from rural areas. The prevalence of overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity was higher in adolescents whose mothers had ≥ 7 years of schooling compared with adolescents with less educated mothers. Differences by maternal ethnicity also influenced the prevalence of insulin resistance. Among the main findings, this study associated sociodemographic and geographical inequalities with cardiovascular risk factors. Promoting a healthy lifestyle for this young population is absolutely necessary to prevent cardiovascular diseases in adulthood.

Published: November 2023

The objective was to analyze the perceptions of primary health care (PHC) workers about interprofessional collaboration from the perspective of implementation science. This is a qualitative study that used in-depth interview as a data production technique. Interviews were conducted with 15 workers (three community health agents, one nursing assistant, three nurses, three managers, three physicians, and two nursing technicians) from basic health units in the Municipality of São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo State, Brazil. The interview plan was based on three domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Thematic content analysis was used. In the interprofessional collaboration characteristics domain, respondents highlighted the complexity, and its possible influence, as to the implementation and sustainability of this practice. In the inner setting domain, factors that influence interprofessional collaboration were identified, namely: how the time allocated to formal communication/team meetings is used; social interactions between professionals; and leadership characteristics, such as feedback, autonomy and participation in decisions. In the individuals characteristics domain, participants noted interprofessional collaboration geared to quality of care and the need for integration between knowledge centers. Thus, measures to enhance the quality of communication, collective team building and leadership can contribute to improve interprofessional collaboration in PHC and leverage its impacts on health care.

Abstract The cowpea bean [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.], a legume of great socioeconomic importance, it was previously cultivated exclusively for subsistence and commercial purposes, especially in the North and Northeast regions. This crop has a low production cost and high nutritional value, in addition to a high potential for productivity growth and expansion to other regions. The objective of this work was to evaluate parameters of growth and production in cowpea culture, as a function of potassium fertilization in soil of the cerrado of Amapá. The parameters of growth and production of the cowpea culture were evaluated, as a function of potassium fertilization in the soil of the cerrado of Amapá. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using a completely randomized experimental design, with four replications, in a 5x2 factorial scheme, totaling 40 experimental units, which were composed of plastic pots containing 7 dm3 of soil collected from the arable layer (0-20 cm ) of a typical Hyperdystrophic Yellow Argisol, with a sandy clay loam texture, in a cerrado area in the municipality of Porto Grande-AP. The factors consisted of the control treatment (without K), four doses of K (45, 90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1) in the form of potassium chloride, and two cowpea cultivars (Pretinho and BRS Tumucumaque). The cultivar BRS Tumucumaque shows better growth and production of cowpea plants. Doses of 90 kg ha-1 provided greater height (98.75 cm) and stem diameter (10.0 mm). As for production, the dose of 135 kg ha-1 caused greater grain weight gain (5.25 g) and dry mass of pods (13.92 g), and the doses of 90 and 180 kg ha-1 induced greater number and length of pods (3.16 pods) respectively. These results show better responsiveness of the BRS Tumucumaque cultivar at doses of 90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1 in the type of soil where the study was conducted.
