Transient severe thrombocytopenia with SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) infection in pregnancy
Authors: Jayawardane I. A. , Piyadigama I. , Solangaarachchi H. , Williams S.
Published: February 2022

A 24-weeks pregnant woman in her 2nd pregnancy presented with mild COVID symptoms and new onset rapidly progressive severe thrombocytopenia with a nadir of 20×109/L. She did not have any bleeding manifestations and the platelet counts recovered over 3 days without the need of steroids or immunoglobulin treatment. COVID-19 infection may cause transient severe thrombocytopenia, and this has not been previously reported in second trimester of pregnancy. We speculate the cause to be immune mediated. Other causes for severe thrombocytopenia were excluded after comprehensive investigations. This raise concerns on thromboprophylaxis and anticoagulant use in early pregnancies infected with COVID-19. Assessing the platelet counts at least two occasions few days apart of an infected patient may be a safer approach if continuing anticoagulants.

A Pathogenic Th17/CD38+ Macrophage Feedback Loop Drives Inflammatory Arthritis through TNF-α
Authors: Muench David E , Sun Zhe , Sharma Anchal , Tang Crystal , Crampton Jordan S , Lao Christopher , Kersjes Kara , Chang William , Na Songqing
Published: February 2022

The pathobiology of rheumatoid inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis, involves the interplay between innate and adaptive immune components and resident synoviocytes. Single-cell analyses of patient samples and relevant mouse models have characterized many cellular subsets in RA. However, the impact of interactions between cell types is not fully understood. In this study, we temporally profiled murine arthritic synovial isolates at the single-cell level to identify perturbations similar to those found in human RA. Notably, murine macrophage subtypes like those found in RA patients were expanded in arthritis and linked to promoting the function of Th17 cells in the joint. In vitro experiments identified a capacity for murine macrophages to maintain the functionality and expansion of Th17 cells. Reciprocally, murine Th17 cell–derived TNF-α induced CD38+ macrophages that enhanced Th17 functionality. Murine synovial CD38+ macrophages were expanded during arthritis, and their depletion or blockade via TNF-α neutralization alleviated disease while reducing IL-17A–producing cells. These findings identify a cellular feedback loop that promotes Th17 cell pathogenicity through TNF-α to drive inflammatory arthritis.

Published: February 2022

The northeastern part of Algeria is characterized by Meso–Cenozoic fossiliferous deposits. All the previous studies have been focused on invertebrate and vertebrate body fossils from this region. In the present paper we provide the first ichnological study from the region of Ouenza, Tebessa Wilaya (northeastern Algeria). An ichnoassemblage composed of eight ichnotaxa, namely cf. Archaeonassa isp., Arenicolites isp., Diplocraterion isp., Helminthopsis isp., Palaeophycus tubularis, Skolithoscf. linearis, cf. Taenidium isp., and Thalassinoides isp., reported from the lower Langhian (Middle Miocene) of Aïn Sidi Salah locality (Tebessa Basin) is discussed. These trace-fossils belong to the Skolithos and proximal Cruziana ichnofacies indicating deposition within a shallow marine (littoral). The large size of Thalassinoides suggests well-oxygenated setting, under moderate- to high-energy conditions, with occasional storm events. Keywords: trace-fossils, paleoenvironments, shallow marine, Middle Miocene, Tebessa.
A Patagonian swan (Anatidae: Anserinae) from the Upper Pleistocene of Austral Chaco (Argentina)
Authors: Vezzosi Raúl Ignacio , Jones Washington , Gaudioso Pablo Javier , Barquez Ruben M.
Published: February 2022

A new material of a Quaternary waterfowl is described here. The implications of this finding, in the context of the dispersal of Anatidae in the past, are discussed. The specimen consists in a partial humerus coming from the Upper Pleistocene of austral Chaco from Santiago del Estero Province, Argentina. The specimen here described belongs to the tribe Cygnini, being larger than most members of the clade. The humerus shows different size than with other members of the tribe Cygnini, being larger than the humeri referred to the Andean goose (Oressochen melanopterus), the Sheldgeese of the genus Chloephaga, the Comb Duck (Sarkidiornis sylvicola), and larger than the Ruddy Shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea). However, the humerus have several anatomical characters indicating that it belongs to a basal anserine duck. These combinations of features allow us to assign this fossil to a species of waterfowl: Coscoroba coscoroba. This finding, it context with the history of the South American Cygnini, provides new environmental interpretations associated with wetlands, which will be tested in the austral Chaco and Northern Pampa through future multi-proxy studies. Keywords: Anseriformes bird, goose, Coscoroba coscoroba, Quaternary, South America, Santiago del Estero.

Authors: Enegide Chinedu , Ofili Charles C. , Agatemor Uzuazokaro M. , Jacob Dabum L.
Published: February 2022

Background:

Malaria has maintained its historic threat to global health, with nearly 40% of the world's population being at risk of its mayhem. The increasing cases of resistance by Plasmodium parasite to the currently available antimalarial agents have led to increased scientific screening of medicinal plants for the possible development of newer agents, both for treatment and chemoprophylaxis against malaria. This study was designed to evaluate the prophylactic antimalarial activity of Combretum nigricans hydromethanol crude leaf extract in mice.

Materials and Methods:

The prophylactic activity of C. nigricans hydromethanol crude leaf extract was evaluated using the method illustrated by Peters. Six groups containing five mice each were used for the study. Group 1 (control) received distilled water 10 ml/kg b.w. p.o., Groups 2–4 were treated with 200, 400, and 800 mg extract/kg b.w. p.o., respectively, Group 5 mice were treated with chloroquine 10 mg/kg b.w. p.o., whereas Group 6 mice were treated with artesunate 10 mg/kg b.w. p.o.

Results:

The result showed significant (P < 0.05) chemoprophylactic activity in all treated groups compared with the control group. The chemoprophylactic activity of the extract was 55.4, 61.6, and 79.5% for 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg, respectively. A dose-related increase in mice body weight was also observed in the extract-treated groups. Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of several important active principles, including alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids.

Conclusion:

The present study revealed that C. nigricans hydromethanol crude leaf extract possesses significant chemoprophylactic activity against malaria.

Published: February 2022

This study aims to investigate the geotechnical characteristics of three soils by adding waste plastics and a mixture of leaf ashes. The soil stabilizers used in the study are the plastics strips from waste plastic file folders and a mixture of ashes from five naturally occurring pozzolanic leaves in Sri Lanka. The plastics used in this study have a width of 5 mm and aspect ratios of 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the weight percentages 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8. The mixture of leaf ashes used is in the weight percentages 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The investigated geotechnical characteristics of the soils include the improvement of maximum dry density (MDD), optimum moisture content (OMC), soaked California bearing ratio (CBR), shear strength parameters, plastic index (PI), and Atterberg limits. The results suggest that the optimum improvement in soaked CBR and MDD can be achieved by adding 2% plastics and 6% leaf ash mixture into the soils. Shear strength parameters and PI can also be improved.
Análisis jurídico-laboral del tráfico ilegal de mano de obra mediante un diseño observacional
Authors: Megías-Bas Antonio
Published: February 2022

Esta investigación tiene como punto de partida el análisis jurídico-laboral del artículo 312.1 del Código Penal de España; acudimos a la doctrina iuslaboral y penal que lo examina, así como a las sentencias sobre tráfico ilegal de mano de obra. Pretendemos conocer qué interpretan los jueces, juezas y tribunales del orden penal que es el tráfico ilegal de mano de obra. Para ello, identificamos los elementos significativos que aparecen en los fundamentos jurídicos de las sentencias, cuando analizan el delito, para diferenciarlo de la infracción administrativo-laboral. También buscamos las coincidencias y diferencias entre la interpretación judicial y la académica sobre tráfico ilegal de mano de obra. Realizamos un diseño observacional y no experimental para el estudio de estas, recogiendo la información en un protocolo de observación sistemática, con distintas categorías, construido “ad hoc”. Los datos muestran, por ejemplo, que existen desajustes entre la interpretación académica y la judicial, así como la falta de concreción respecto al bien jurídico protegido.

Authors: Koukiadis Dimitrios I.
Published: February 2022

Las medidas adoptadas hasta ahora, a nivel de los Estados miembros de la UE, con el fin de contener el Covid-19 han demostrado, muy a menudo, un proceso de elaboración de políticas extremadamente fragmentado, descoordinado y controvertido. El 1 de julio de 2021, el Certificado Digital Covid de la UE entró en vigor en toda la UE con el fin de proporcionar un marco jurídico común y armonizado para proteger la salud pública, reabrir las fronteras, reactivar la economía europea y facilitar la libre circulación de personas durante la pandemia mediante el establecimiento de medidas seguras, verificables e interoperables en todo el territorio de la UE. Se han planteado cuestiones como la no discriminación y la igualdad, la libertad de circulación, las condiciones de trabajo, la protección de datos, el asilo y la migración, la dignidad humana, el Estado de Derecho y el respeto general de los derechos humanos. 
En cuanto a la cuestión de la no discriminación, el Reglamento aspira a crear un marco jurídico mediante el cual se facilite el derecho a la libre circulación de las personas y se establezcan de forma coordinada los requisitos para la supresión gradual de las restricciones a la libre circulación, impuestas por los Estados miembros.
En cuanto a las cuestiones de protección de datos personales, no se prevé ninguna excepción al marco jurídico de la UE establecido hasta ahora en materia de protección de datos personales, y se espera que todas las sólidas salvaguardias establecidas por el Reglamento general de protección de datos (RGPD) en materia de protección de datos personales se incorporen a cualquier medida adoptada por los Estados miembros.

Unternehmensverantwortlichkeit für menschenrechtsverletzungen – zum neuen gesetzesentwurf in Deutschland
Authors: Schröder Thomas
Published: February 2022

The global responsibility of companies for human rights violations is moving into the focus of legislation in Europe. This development can be attributed not only to an increased social sensitivity in western countries, but also to the current discussion under international law. The draft law currently under discussion in Germany is limited to an obligation for larger companies to show more effort; criminal sanctions are no longer on the agenda. This article traces the current discussion and also addresses an announced EU initiative.
Bußgeldrecht in der europäischen bankenaufsicht
Authors: Schäfer Maxi
Published: February 2022

The imposition of sanctions within the framework of European banking supervision is essentially intended to ensure that the European Union’s policy in the banking sector is implemented effectively to ensure financial stability within the Euro area. The law on fines under banking supervisory derives its authorization from the European Banking Union created in 2014 in general and the so-called Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) in particular. In terms of banking supervision, the supervisory sanctions regime of the EU addresses credit institutions as legal entities. This article demonstrates how corporate groups, being a combination of several legal entities, are nevertheless subject to supervision of the ECB and the national supervisory authorities, and therefore subject to sanctions. For this purpose, in addition to the division of responsibilities between the ECB and national supervisory authorities, this article also deals with the supervisory sanction regime set out in Art. 18 SSM-VO and its norm and sanctions addressees.
Verbandsgeldbußen im finanzsektor: eine kumulation zweifelhafter obergrenzen
Authors: Hüttemann Suzan Denise
Published: February 2022

This contribution covers the methods by which the maximum amount of pecuniary sanctions against corporations in the financial sector is determined. The alternative recourse to absolute, turnover-based and profit-based upper limits combines problematic regulatory developments of recent times. This contribution advocates for a systematic approach that differentiates strictly between the confiscatory and the sanctioning part; the upper limit of the sanctioning part should be determined by the abstract gravity of the violation.
Axiology of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997: Some Reflections
Authors: Kostecki Dawid
Published: February 2022

The fact that almost a quarter of a century has passed since the adoption of the Polish Constitution contributes to a reflection on its axiology. This article prompts the reinterpretation of the critical value that can be ‘decoded’ from the Basic Law. It seems that authors of the supreme law of the Republic of Poland were initially guided by slightly different ideals; however, broad case law has become a test of the timelessness and timeliness of the Constitution of 2 April 1997. From this perspective, the question of grounds for an amendment of the basic law is highly current and pertinent. However, this question seems secondary to an attempt to decode the constitutional values forming the foundation of the Polish legal system. In light of the above reflections, have the values pursued by authors of the Constitution become real, or have they just become a redundant ornament in the legal erudition devoid of any practical value? The search for answers should be embedded in an appropriate context or the will of the historical legislator. However, the author believes that the interpretation of a legal text should keep pace with the times; this is why a dynamic interpretation is extremely relevant.
Subsidiarity and Fundamental Rights Protection in the United States
Authors: Wurman Ilan
Published: February 2022

Since the middle of the last century, fundamental rights protection in the United States has largely been the domain of the federal government, and primarily its Supreme Court. Under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees “due process of law,” the United States Supreme Court has assumed for itself the role of defining fundamental rights even if such rights are not specifically enumerated in any constitutional text and requiring all states to abide by such rights, a concept referred to as “substantive due process.” It has also “incorporated” the Bill of Rights in the federal Constitution against the state governments, even though such rights historically only bound the federal government. These doctrinal developments were likely mistakes, at least if Americans purport to be bound by the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment to their Constitution. “Due process of law” was not a substantive guarantee of unenumerated rights or against unreasonable legislation. In antebellum America, judicial courts did review local or municipal legislation to ensure reasonableness, but not the legislation of the states themselves except in narrow circumstances. Many American scholars believe that the “privileges or immunities” clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, instead of the due process clause, is what was intended to incorporate the Bill of Rights against the states and transfer fundamental rights protections to the federal government. This, too, is likely incorrect, as that clause was likely a guarantee merely of equality, leaving it up to the state governments otherwise to define and regulate the content of civil rights. This account, if correct, suggests that the Fourteenth Amendment, while guaranteeing the fundamental right to equality, otherwise respected the principle of subsidiarity even in the protection of fundamental rights, and provides insights for the ongoing European debate over fundamental rights protection.

Published: February 2022

This article concludes the presentations made at and the main lessons drawn from the international conference on Western Balkan enlargement held on December 6, 2021, within the framework of the pan-European dialogue on the future of Europe. The event was the fourth high-level international conference on the Future of Europe co-organized by the Ferenc Mádl Institute and the Ministry of Justice, and was attended by representatives of the European Union (EU), Hungarian, Serbian, and Slovenian politicians; and representatives from academia. The article briefly presents the EU context and the background of the enlargement in the Western Balkans. The presentations at the conference—almost without exception—highlighted the issues of credibility, political, economic, security, and strategic interests of the future of Europe in thinking about the future of the enlargement. Even though there are some slight differences regarding their approach to specific issues related to the advancement of European integration of the Western Balkans, every participant stressed the importance and urgency of their accession. The Hungarian government’s stance consisting of a firm support to the EU accession of the Western Balkans based and justified on their merits and the accomplishment of the required criteria, especially with regard to Serbia, was reaffirmed. In view of all this, the organization of the international conference by the Ferenc Mádl Institute of Comparative Law and the Ministry of Justice can be considered very timely and proactive.
Mental Health during COVID-19 Pandemic and its Effects on Migrant Laborers, Women and Adolescents in Southeast Asia: A Qualitative Review
Authors:   Technical Director and co-founder of Public Health Literacy, Boston USA, MS, ALM Narayana Prasad MD, MPH,
Published: February 2022

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the physical, mental, and social well-being of millions of people across the globe. This paper will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on preexisting and emerging mental health issues amongst various subgroups of the vulnerable population in Southeast Asia. Methods: Qualitative review of existing knowledge on mental health issues during COVID-19 pandemic among migrant laborers, women and adolescents. Conclusion: Given the profound impact of COVID -19 beyond physical health, policy makers, scientific communities and faith-based institutions should make every effort to turn the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity by developing a strong and robust consensus that is based on building public trust in partnership to provide societal mental health, which is an unappreciated asset of a nation. We conclude that while there is considerable amount of work in the field of mental health has been done, many efforts are siloed, and do not consider the unique cultural characteristics involved. In addition to providing ventilators and acute care to COVID-19 affected patients at the hospitals, we need to design policies to allocate resources for the post-pandemic burden on our communities and develop multi-disciplinary approaches. We suggest that these approaches should become routine in healthcare settings and should be appropriate to the individual’s cultural context. We argue that the generation of robust data, scientific evidence, and multi-disciplinary resources-sharing are required that would necessitate to produce the interventions that are culturally specific and scalable.

Authors:   Specialist, Santa Úrsula University in Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil, Bogossian Tricia
Published: February 2022

The present study aims to discuss the quality of life at work in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is characterized as a narrative review of literature with descriptive analysis, where the selection of research was carried out in a database, such as, BVS, LILACS, SCIELO, using the descriptors of “Quality of Life”, “Occupational Health” and “ Covid-19” in the period from 2008 to 2021. The research addressed discussions present in articles that portrayed contributions referring to the causes and consequences of the absence of quality of life at work. Studies have reported that the nursing profession is one of the most likely to trigger dissatisfaction and suffering at work. Of the highlighted symptoms are present: stress, depression, emotional disorders, professional disinterest, dissatisfaction, among others. The causes mentioned refute the idea of professional negligence, the excess of demands, the high expected workload and the present low quality of life. Such reflexes emit, as supposed, emerging needs to design strategies that contribute to quality professional security. It was concluded at the end of the study that the aspects related to the approaches manifested in the selected research points out the causes as issues of excess demands, and the minimization of quality and leisure time for these employees. As an improvement mechanism, they guide institutions that present these professional profiles to study projects that include improvements in this framework, thus refuting an adequate personal and professional quality of life.

Sensorineural hearing loss was found in 178(54.3%), cases, conductive in 118(36%) and mixed type in 32(9.8%). Otitis media with effusion 89(27.1%) was the commonest cause of hearing impairment, followed by consanguinity 73(22.3%). There was no significant difference between the male and female children (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Otitis media with effusion was the commonest cause of hearing impairment, followed by consanguinity. Gender had no significant role to play in this regard.

Telur merupakan salah satu bahan makanan dengan harga ekonomis yang memiliki nilai gizi lengkap dan dibutuhkan oleh tubuh. Telur mudah mengalami kerusakan baik secara fisik, kimia dan mikrobiologis. Durasi waktu penyimpanan dapat mempengaruhi kualitas telur. Tujuan penelitian: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh durasi waktu penyimpanan terhadap perubahan kualitas telur dimasyarakat. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling dengan cara menganalisis telur ayam yang disimpan oleh masyarakat pada suhu ruang dengan durasi waktu penyimpanan yang berbeda yakni 1 hari, 5 hari, 10 hari, dan 14 hari. Masing-masing perlakuan lama simpan terdiri dari 5 ulangan, dan setiap ulangan terdiri dari 3 butir telur. Total telur ayam ras yang digunakan sebanyak 60 butir telur. Durasi waktu penyimpanan dapat mempengaruhi nilai HU, Ph telur, dan perbesaran kantong udara. Berdasarkan kajian menunjukkan bahwa telur terbaik adalah disimpan pada suhu antara 4-7℃. Beberapa metode yang dapat dimanfaatkan dalam upaya pengawetan telur. Metode tersebut diantaranya adalah metode pasteurisasi, Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields (ELF-MF), Thyme Oil and Cold Nitrogen Plasma (CNP)  dan Dielectric Barier Discharge-UV Plasma. Berdasarkan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI), Telur dapat disimpan disuhu ruang, maksimum selama 14 hari dengan kelembapan 80%-90%. Penyimpanan disuhu 4–7℃, maksimum selama 30 hari dengan kelembapan 60%-70%.
A büntetőjog alkotmányos alapjai és gyakorlata, valamint a kisebbségi magyarság az 1918–1938 közötti Romániában

Pursuant to the First World War, Romania’s territory increased, and thus it inherited a complex social, economic, and legal environment different from that of the predecessor states. The Romanian state’s response to these challenges is to be found in the political goal of building a homogeneous nation-state. This political agenda has had an impact on all areas of law, not only on legislation but also on the application of the law. The use of essentially ethnically neutral legal instruments of criminal law for state policy purposes can also be seen as an element of exclusionary nationality policy. The Romanian state’s actions have thus not only failed to resolve existing internal tensions but have also made the relations between the majority and minorities, as well as the possibility of consolidation impossible for the past century.
Ártatlanul elítélve – a móri bankrablás tanulságai

On 9 May 2002, eight people were killed in a bank robbery in Erste Bank’s branch in Mór. The serious crime has put tremendous pressure on the public to find the perpetrators as soon as possible. About a month and a half after the crime had been committed, Ede Kaiser and László Hajdú were arrested on 24 July 2002 – they were reasonably suspected of committing the bank robbery, according to the police. Based on the evidence gathered, they were charged in December 2003 and convicted a year later. In 2007, however, new evidence emerged, the weapons used in the crime were found and led to the real perpetrators. The innocent convict was acquitted in November 2009 in a retrial. The study shows what factors may have led to the wrong judgment. Thus, it covers the dangers of hot pursuit and the benefits of raster investigation, which could have identified the real perpetrators much sooner.
A HYBRID APPROACH TO DETECT SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN WEB APPLICATIONS

The presence of security flaws allows deceitful operators to exploit web application weaknesses. The researcher brings a novel vulnerability assessment technique in this study that can enhance exposure detection rates while also improving efficiency by lowering the number of test results that reports the presence of a condition wrongly and tests result that implies the absence of a condition when it is actually present. The purpose of the experiment is on a cutting-edge tool that uses a hybrid method that combines white-box and black-box testing practices. The amalgamation in building the hybrid algorithm is not done blindly as it is based on extraordinary aspects like optimization and complexity amid others to make bigger effectivity. The algorithm viably identifies SQL injections, XSS injection and can be utilized in any genuine application that run on a web server, wherever the client and the database interrelates. Crawling and parsing to discover vulnerabilities are part of the scanning process. The process is done repeatedly until all vulnerabilities have been discovered. A prototype was done to test and validate the hybrid method. Simulation was done using a tool developed in Python and the researcher included in this paper a comparison table and graph that pits the new scanner versus two other web - based scanners.

Abstract. Based on our data on age-related changes in blood pressure, ECG, and HRV, we developed a method for assessing the cardiovascular system's biological (functional) age. We set ourselves the task of finding a simple non-invasive method for the integral assessment of the state of the cardiovascular system, which allows us to quantify the degree of age-related changes in this system. The essence of the method lies in the fact that the BA of the cardiovascular system is calculated according to the indicators of BP, QT and HRV. The study included 108 practically healthy people aged from 20 to 90 years. The formula for calculating BA was obtained by multiple stepwise regression. The multiple correlation between biological age and chronological is high (r = 0.895; p <0.00001). The average absolute value of the error of BA calculation, in this case, is 5.19 years.
Thus, the method for assessing the rate of ageing developed by us has high accuracy and can be used to assess the risk of developing age-dependent cardiovascular pathology. The implementation of the proposed method will allow not only to identify people with the risk of developing pathology but also to assess the effectiveness of treatment, prophylactic and rehabilitation measures.

Formas narrativas del relato policial en torno a la detención, muerte y secuestro de Marcos O. en 1975, en Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Rios Lucia
Published: February 2022

Este artigo visa investigar as diferentes narrativas policiais ocorridas em Córdoba, Argentina, em 1975 - um ano antes da última ditadura civil-militar argentina – cujos arquivos - memorandos, notas jornalísticas – estão atualmente no Arquivo Provincial de la Memoria, em relaçãoaos eventos que tiveram como eixo a figura de Marcos O, membro dos Montoneros, Pretendo abordar a forma como estas narrativas configuraram um cenário e um tema determinado como subversivo e extremista, bem como as moralidades construídas e entrelaçadas - aleccionais e disciplinadoras - que a força policial realizou em suas narrativas. Em relação a estes elementos, através do método etnográfico, vamos nos concentrar no "exercício de controle" realizado pelo poder policial, um exercício que pode ser manifestado a partir do repressivo ou que pode ser enredado através da realização de pactos e negociações.

Este ensaio tem como objetivo apresentar perspectivas artísticas, sociais, políticas, culturais e antropológicas sobre o corpo e os cabelos das mulheres negras. Utilizamos poesias que tratam de dramas e traumas que perpassam a vida de mulheres negras, bem como poesias que colocam o corpo negro feminino no lugar de protagonista, de atuação contra práticas racistas e violentas. Trazemos trechos de relatos de experiência dos autores, bem como fragmentos de entrevistas realizadas pelos pesquisadores em diferentes períodos (2010; 2017; 2019). Pesquisa que tratou do fenômeno da construção corporal e capilar para mulheres negras no Brasil e em Moçambique. Mostramos experiências de mulheres negras no Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília e Maputo. Abordamos categorias nativas, tais como: hierarquia capilar. Refletimos sobre os instrumentos que compõem a estética africana e afrodiaspórica, o imaginário e a subjetividade das mulheres negras.
