Radiotheranostics in Oncology
Authors: Sreedevi Dr B , Kishore Dr N , Ghosh Dr. Somenath , Kaur Gurman
Published: January 2024

This review discusses the urgent requirements in modern oncology to address the complexities associated with metastatic cancer, a condition that often lacks comprehensive understanding, particularly concerning receptor expression. The emerging concept of theranostics, which merges precise diagnostics and therapies within the precision medicine framework, underscores the need for further investigation. A central focus of this review is radiotheranostics, a versatile approach offering personalized diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. It examines the intricate components of radiotheranostics, such as radionuclides, metal-complexing agents, and receptor-specific agents designed to target molecular markers linked to cancer selectively. The study explores potential applications of radiotheranostics, especially in scenarios where conventional treatments have limitations. Investigating patient acceptance and determining the optimal administration route are critical aspects that demand thorough examination to facilitate the integration of radiotheranostics into clinical practice. Furthermore, this review aims to reveal the potential of new ligands and isotopes to enhance the effectiveness of radiotheranostics. Molecular imaging, functioning at the molecular and cellular levels, constitutes a significant element of this study, delivering in-depth anatomical and functional insights. Recognizing the pivotal role of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in precise cancer treatment, the review explores techniques for their identification and characterization within the framework of radiotheranostics. Despite its promise, radiotheranostics faces unique challenges from logistical constraints and regulatory intricacies, setting it apart from conventional chemotherapy. This review seeks to elucidate these challenges and provide potential solutions. In summary, this review responds to the crucial need for advancing our understanding and application of radiotheranostics, holding the potential to offer significant palliative measures, extend patient survival, and even provide cures, particularly for those with metastatic disease and suitable molecular targets.
Securing the Pandemic: Biopolitics, Capital, and COVID-19
Authors: Kelly Mark G.
Published: January 2024

In this article, I consider the interoperation of twin contemporary governmental imperatives, fostering economic growth and ensuring biopolitical security, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. At a theoretical level, I thereby consider the question of the applicability of a Marxist analysis vis-à-vis a Foucauldian one in understanding state responses to the pandemic. Despite the apparent prioritization of preserving life over economic activity by governments around the world in this context, I will argue that the basic problem that COVID-19 posed for the state was one of sheer unknowability and that the fundamental motive for the governmental response was a concern for security in Foucault’s sense, that is, ensuring a baseline predictability in the social field, upon which economic activity, like myriad other social activity, is premised. I argue that this drive for security motivated states to appeal to medical experts to determine the direction of their response, who in turn applied a default model of quarantine. While we cannot be certain that the medically-guided response was optimal in terms either of health outcomes or economically, I argue it served its essential purpose by providing a structured framework for social action in the face of the unknown. While this is vital for the maintenance of the basic coordinates of capitalist society, I argue it nonetheless cannot entirely be explained simply by an appeal to Marxist categories and instead requires Foucault’s insights into the medicalization of society.
Plague, Foucault, Camus
Authors: Herpolsheimer Adam
Published: January 2024

In January 1975, Michel Foucault contemplated the nature and formation of what in subsequent years he would come to know as governmentality. For Foucault, plague marks the rise of the invention of positive technologies of power, where these relations center around inclusion, multiplication, and security, rather than exclusion, negation, and rejection. In a point that might at first seem ancillary to his central argument, Foucault comments on stylized works about plague, such as those, according to the lecture series’ editors, exemplified by Albert Camus. In footnote fifteen of the January 15, 1975 lecture, in reference to what Foucault deemed the “literary dream of” plagues, the editors list Camus’ 1947 novel La Peste, among other works, as representative of what Foucault described as “a kind of orgiastic dream in which plague is the moment when individuals come apart and when the law is forgotten.”. This article places Camus’ novel and other works in conversation with Foucault on governmentality, subjectivation, and truth to demonstrate the ways in which individualism itself can be viewed biopolitically. In so doing, it offers an urgent intervention that speaks powerfully to and is exemplified by the current global pandemic. Plague serves both as this literary dream and as a discursive mechanism engaged simultaneously with regimes of truth and the individuals constructing them. By pairing Foucault’s historical understanding of the invention of positive technologies of power with Camus’ treatment of “the absurd” in and out of the plague context, one uncovers the interrelation of governmentality, subjectivation, and truth.
Virus as a figure of geontopower or how to practice Foucault now?
Authors: Jardim Fabiana , Skoglund Annika , Purakayastha Anindya Sekhar , Armstrong David
Published: January 2024

Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Franz Boas Professor at Columbia University, is a philosopher and anthropologist who has critically engaged with Michel Foucault’s ideas as well as scholarship inspired by his works. Povinelli has been dedicated to research on colonialism within liberalism and is also a filmmaker and founding member of The Karrabing Film Collective. The film collective is part of a larger organization of Aboriginal peoples and artists living in the Australian Northern Territory that refuses ‘fantasies of sovereignty and property’.[1]

As Povinelli shares with us during the interview, her trajectory was constituted in the middle of the 1980s following her life-changing encounter with the elders in Belyuen in the Australian Northern Territory. In the wake of that encounter, and with urgent issues raised about indigeneity due to changes in Australian law, Povinelli has been working even closer with her Karrabing family. The changes in law both acknowledged Aboriginal peoples' rights to their territory and imposed certain ideas of identity, family and culture, producing an entanglement between rights and government. These efforts to manage differences – cultural, race, gender – are problematized and deciphered in Povinelli’s ethnographic work with a focus on how late settler liberalism has been reconfigured with novel expressions of colonialism and imperialism. Now embedded...
Metamorphosis of Biopolitics. A Foucauldian Ecological Perspective and the Challenge of the Pandemic
Authors: Antoniol Valentina
Published: January 2024

This paper is a review essay of Ottavio Marzocca, Biopolitics for Beginners. Knowledge of Life and Government of People, Milan/Udine: Mimesis International, 2020. Pp. 457. ISBN: 9788869771781 (paperback). It focuses on Marzocca's investigations into biopolitics, a topic of which the author offers an original ecological reconfiguration. The proposed reflections, which address the recent pandemic crisis of COVID-19, are developed from the work of Foucault but are not limited to this thinker. In fact, they offer an articulate examination of the issue by also taking into broad consideration the thought of authors such as Giorgio Agamben, Antonio Negri, Roberto Esposito, Jacques Donzelot, Robert Castel, Pierre Rosanvallon, Nikolas Rose, Melinda Cooper and Gregory Bateson.
Post-pandemic South Asian Governmentalities and Foucault: State Power and Ordinary Citizens
Authors: Islam Nasima
Published: January 2024

As the post-COVID world order necessitates a radical overhaul of the ways in which we understand the very notions of “health”, “care” and “security”, one must revisit Michel Foucault and his works in these shifting times to rethink biopolitics as a category viz-a-viz contemporary globalectics. Keeping that in mind, while reviewing two very interesting books by and on Foucault – South Asian Governmentalities: Michel Foucault and the Question of Postcolonial Orderings and Archives of Infamy: Foucault on State Power in the Lives of Ordinary Citizens – the article attempts to highlight certain core Foucauldian concerns in different domains of human existence that the...
“Prepared to Face the Unexpected”: Dynamic Enterprises in Italy as a Model of Resilience
Authors: Sischarenco Elena
Published: January 2024

Businesses that demonstrate organizational flexibility, characterized by dynamic problem-solving skills, in-house production processes, and a robust human capital, appear to be successful and resilient in times of crisis. Drawing on my fieldwork in medium-sized manufacturing companies in Emilia, Northern Italy, from June to November 2021, I investigate ideas and characteristics that shed light on good practices, key ingredients of the success of such companies, and possible future models of resilience. I employ participant observation and provide evidence taken from conversations or episodes observed, especially in one of the companies. Although greater structuring is often sought and considered the resolution of many existing problems, non-structuring is, at the same time, convenient in many circumstances. People are essential components in this dynamic organizational model, and their commitment in the organization goes far beyond contractual obligations. Their motivation stems from personal satisfaction as well as from a sense of responsibility and strong personal commitment.

Authors:   Asian Trade Association, d d , d d , d d , d d
Published: January 2024

Purpose - This paper aimed to determine the preferences of mango contractors in Pangasinan, Philippines, regarding communication devices, platforms, and information quality.
Design/Methodology/Approach - To achieve this, a survey was conducted with 100 mango contractors. The respondents were asked to compare communication attributes against each other to determine which aspects held greater significance from their perspectives. This comparison was carried out following the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework and scale.
Findings - The top communication device attributes sought by mango contractors were utility and mobility, reflecting their diverse roles and the need for cost-effective and multifunctional devices. Mango contractor activities were not limited to the farm, and extend to the local and international market. Communication platforms should be able to offer information archiving and accessibility, especially for business-related transactions, since it is crucial for contractors to refer to past negotiations. These could also be the basis of business decisions of the contractors. Regarding information quality, effectiveness was the highest priority, followed by accessibility. Mango contractors require usable and highly effective information in the decision-making processes.
Research Implications - In conclusion, mango contractor preferences are based on operational nature and lifestyle. Understanding the preferences of mango contractors is crucial for designing a relevant and effective information system. Adhering to these preferences will likely increase adoption and active participation among contractors, ensuring that the information system serves their needs effectively.

Published: January 2024

This article discusses the definition of the Kurdish issue, the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people in equality, freedom, justice and political participation as fixed rights agreed upon by people, and the call to spread goodness and tolerance and transcend intellectual slides that aim to deepen the dispute between all Muslims and reject bigotry and fanaticism that aims to crack and spilit Islamic societies, and the article aims to shed light on the suffering of the Kurds and their legitimate rights, and to spread tolerance and promote unity among all Muslims. Three methods have been adopted namely the descriptive and analytical methods in addition to the historical method. Among the findings: is that the Kurds are an integral part of the Islamic nation that is united under one God and one Prophet, and that our true religion recognizes all nationalities, preserves their right, and recognizes all Muslim ethnic groups , including the Kurds, to enjoy the full legitimate rights, respect their privacy, and allow the Kurdish people to form their political unity .
Um problema de matrizes e determinantes modelado pela teoria das transformações lineares
Authors: Régis de Almeida Wálmisson , Reis Marques de Brito Frederico
Published: January 2024

O relato a seguir detalha a abordagem de um problema elementar de Álgebra Linear emergido durante o ensino remoto decorrente da pandemia de Covid-19. Nesse pe-ríodo, os processos avaliativos se tornaram não-presenciais através dos Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem, o que exigiu do professor uma série de ajustes em seus instrumentos para talfinalidade: dentre eles, a necessidade de ter à disposição variações de uma mesma questão a fim de dificultar a troca de respostas entre os discentes. O problema em questão envolve o cálculo do determinante de um produto de duas matrizes não-quadradas de certas ordens analisado sob a ótica da composição de transformações lineares, em contraponto a uma solução elementar, isto é, utilizando-se apenas de conhecimentos básicos de matrizes e sistemas lineares. Essa última demanda a análise de um polinômio de 12 variáveis e 48 monômios de cancelamentos não triviais, enquanto a solução via transformações lineares é muito mais curta e elegante e depende apenas de resultados introdutórios dessa área.

El efecto del entrenamiento propioceptivo en la recuperación funcional en artrosis de la base del pulgar. A propósito de un caso
Authors: A Tuljak , R C Téllez
Published: January 2024

El complejo ligamentario dorsal del pulgar es la estructura con mayor concentración de mecanorreceptores, especialmente corpúsculos de Ruffini. Todas las aferencias que se originan en los mecanorreceptores del pulgar constituyen su propiocepción, que es esencial para un control sensoriomotor bien adaptado (Suetterlin y Sayer,2014). Las enfermedades que tienen implicancia sobre el pulgar, como la osteoartritis (OA) carpo-metacarpiana (CMC), impactan en su función, y consecuentemente en el desempeño ocupacional de las personas.

Una mujer de 50 años con OA CMC fue derivada para tratamiento conservador de Terapia Ocupacional (T.O), diagnosticada cuatro meses antes, el diagnóstico médico explicitaba estadio II de Eaton et al.  en mano derecha, dominante. Trabajó 28 años como empleada administrativa y actualmente es ama de casa. En la evaluación inicial refirió preocupación y frustración al realizar sus actividades diarias, acusó dolor y presentó deterioro en la función manual.

Se aplicó un tratamiento conservador tradicional combinado con ejercicios propioceptivos durante 3 meses. Las medidas de resultado indicaron una mejora en la propiocepción del pulgar y una mejora significativa en el desempeño ocupacional y el dolor. Se incluyeron el Joint Position Sense Test, la Medida Canadiense de Rendimiento Ocupacional, la sub Escala Funcional del Australian Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index y la Escala Visual Analógica. Seguimientos: 1 mes y 3 meses.

El tratamiento mejoró significativamente el desempeño ocupacional y sensibilidad propioceptiva de un paciente con deterioro funcional relacionado con OA CMC en su mano dominante.

Published: January 2024

Estudio exploratorio-descriptivo sobre un grupo de profesionales costarricenses en psicología acerca de sus actitudes hacia la aplicación de los principios psicológicos en la práctica odontológica. La muestra fue de 377 psicólogos (activos en el Colegio de Profesionales en Psicología de Costa Rica). A partir del cuestionario original diseñado por Gómez y Gómez (2007), el cual fue construido para estimar la necesidad de conformar programas universitarios que integren la psicología y la odontología, se aplicó una adaptación consistente en una encuesta de 10 preguntas autoadministradas de selección simple, la cual se efectuó en línea a través del sistema QuestionPro®. Se pudo evidenciar que existe una actitud positiva ante el enfoque interdisciplinario entre la Odontología y la Psicología; se demostró que un 74% de la muestra sostiene que los aspectos psicosociales son “Bastante  importantes” en el marco de la atención odontológica. A pesar de ello, la mayoría (57%) de las personas consultadas indicó que no ha tenido ocasión de aplicar sus conocimientos y experiencia en psicología al contexto odontológico. Asimismo, un 72% de los participantes considera “Bastante importante” que los profesionales en Odontología reciban capacitación básica en el área psicológica para la prevención o contención de ciertos síntomas que puedan incidir en la salud mental. Por otra parte, el 80% de quienes respondieron la encuesta indicaron que las iniciativas interdisciplinarias de colaboración científica (investigación) y aplicada (ejercicio profesional) son “Bastante importantes” para producir beneficios tangibles en la prestación de servicios integrales a los pacientes y el bienestar del personal sanitario.
Cybersecurity Risk and Audit Pricing—A Machine Learning-Based Analysis
Authors: Jiang Wanying
Published: January 2024

Cybersecurity risk represents a growing business threat. However, little attention has been paid to its assessment. This study proposes a machine learning algorithm that considers firm cybersecurity risk disclosure, information technology governance, external monitoring by financial analysts and auditors, and general firm characteristics to estimate cybersecurity risk (i.e., the likelihood of a firm experiencing data breaches during a year). This measure outperforms the measure produced by logistic regression models, is higher in industries more prone to cyberattacks, and effectively predicts future data breaches and firm use of cybersecurity insurance policies. I also examine whether auditors consider firm cybersecurity risk in the engagement planning process, finding that, on average, a one-percentage-point increase in cybersecurity risk is associated with a 1.15 percent increase in audit fees. In addition, auditors charge a fee premium after a data breach only if the client has heightened cybersecurity risk.

La Etnoentomología ha sido escasamente explorada en la provincia de Pastaza y prácticamente ignorada en la comunidad de Yana Yaku. Por ende, el objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar los insectos comestibles que forman parte de la dieta de la comunidad de Yana Yaku, perteneciente a la Nacionalidad Kichwa de Pastaza. Además, se busca determinar su valor de uso general y explorar otras formas de utilización que la comunidad les otorga a estos insectos. Esto se logró mediante visitas directas a la comunidad y la implementación de encuestas semiestructuradas a 28 individuos que atesoran saberes ancestrales sobre el tema. A fin de evaluar la relevancia de cada especie, se determinó el valor de uso general (VUs) y el valor de uso por categoría (VUcs) para cada insecto. Los resultados revelaron un consumo considerable de insectos en su fase larvaria, con aplicaciones variadas que incluyen el ámbito alimentario, medicinal y de indulgencia, siendo el Rynchophorus palmarum el insecto que ostenta el más elevado valor de uso. Paralelamente, se constató que el Atta laevigata es el insecto más consumido por los habitantes de la comunidad. El análisis detallado indicó que el propósito más común para la utilización de los insectos es como fuente alimenticia, y los residentes han desarrollado diversas preparaciones para su consumo. Además, se destaca su relevancia en el ámbito de la medicina ancestral. Este estudio no solo arroja luz sobre la riqueza etnoentomológica de la comunidad de Yana Yaku, sino que también subraya la importancia de preservar y comprender estos conocimientos tradicionales para garantizar su continuidad.

Condiciones de salud e higiene oral y su relación con el estado nutricional en niños
Authors:   Instituto Superior Universitario Stanford, Riobamba, Ecuador, Aguiar Salazar Mireya Alexandra
Published: January 2024

El estado nutricional, las condiciones de higiene y el estado bucal son condiciones prevenibles que afectan a los bebés y niños pequeños, con una mayor prevalencia en los alimentados con fórmula. Investigaciones anteriores se han centrado en distintos resultados para la salud oral y el aumento de peso saludable. Sin embargo, la etiología puede estar vinculada a través de comportamientos de alimentación obesogénicos y cariogénicos superpuestos, como una mayor exposición al azúcar a través del apoyo del biberón y la sobrealimentación. Esta revisión sistemática tuvo como objetivo identificar las intervenciones que respaldan las condiciones de la salud bucal, higiene y los resultados de peso. Se buscaron en nueve bases de datos y encontraron 25 estudios que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión predeterminados. 12 estudios se centraron en poblaciones vulnerables midiendo su Índice de Masa Corporal y relacionándolo con la prevalencia de caries. 8 estudios abordaron los antecedentes de los comportamientos obesogénicos o cariogénicos. Solo 5 estudios relacionaron la desnutrición infantil con la salud oral. Si bien algunos estudios informaron que estas condiciones se encuentran íntimamente ligadas otras demostraban lo contrario. Muchos diseños de estudio tenían riesgo de sesgo. Se concluye que si existe relación entre las tres variables de condiciones de salud, higiene oral y estados de nutrición encontrando alteraciones en esta última y relacionándose con patologías como caries e hipoplasia del esmalte.

Desarrollo de los métodos de identificación de cadáveres en la odontología forense: análisis teórico
Authors:   Instituto Superior Universitario Stanford, Riobamba, Ecuador, Machado Herrera Jairo Rolando
Published: January 2024

La odontología forense como método de identificación se muestra efectivo en situaciones en las que los individuos han sufrido accidentes y sea improbable ser reconocidas, ya sea por putrefacción, incineración etc o por imposibilidad de ser reconocida. Una de las técnicas primarias fundamentales es la del análisis comparativo odontológico son adecuados cuando obtiene dos informaciones comparables: la procedente de fichas y registros previos de la supuesta víctima ¬información antemortem (AM)-, y la adquirida de los restos ¬información postmortem (PM). Tras este cotejo, el odontólogo forense podrá finiquitar en una identificación innegable cuando existe una seguridad dominante de que los datos PM y AM pertenecen a una misma persona. Al identificar el sexo de individuo, o la apreciación de la edad, no se solicita la carta dental u odontograma de manera individual, puesto que la evaluación en estos casos se concentra más que todo en las formas de las piezas dentales. En la apreciación de la edad se estudia a las piezas dentales existentes y al transcurso de erupción, en el caso de la identificación del sexo la valorización se centra en el diámetro y en la forma del diente.

Authors: Szczepaniak-Kroll Agnieszka
Published: January 2024

Bambrzy to imigranci z Górnej Frankonii, którzy ponad 300 lat temu osiedlili się w podpoznańskich wsiach. Na początku XX w. zostały one włączone do miasta i stały się jego dzielnicami, lecz tożsamość potomków osadników, ich poczucie kulturowej odrębności pozostały silnie powiązane z wiejskimi korzeniami przodków. Od lat 90. XX wieku liderzy Towarzystwa Bambrów Poznańskich, stowarzyszenia skupiającego Bambrów, podejmują szereg działań, by skonsolidować tę grupę, zachować jej dziedzictwo i szeroko je popularyzować. Ich odwoływanie się do ludowych elementów kultury okazuje się skutecznym sposobem osiągania tych celów. Na przykładzie poznańskich Bambrów chciałabym się zatem przyjrzeć zjawisku wykorzystania „elementów typu ludowego” w strategii przetrwania małych grup etnokulturowych. Artykuł powstał w oparciu o badania własne – jakościowe – wywiady i obserwacje. Odwołałam się także do doświadczeń ze współpracy między Towarzystwem Bambrów Poznańskich i Muzeum Bambrów Poznańskich a Pracownią Etnologii IAE PAN, podjętej w latach 90. XX w. i trwającej do dziś.
Acute Kidney Injury in Wales
Authors:   , Scale Timothy
Published: January 2024

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition with poor outcomes. Deficiencies in care are well described, so clinician-facing electronic AKI alerts (eAlert) were attached to blood test results in Wales with the aims of improving recognition and clinical outcomes. Aims Create an AKI cohort through replicating eAlerts in the secure anonymised information linkage databank (SAIL), allowing for the validation of the eAlerts sent in practice. Assess the effect of eAlerts on hospital coding, recovery from AKI, need for dialysis, mortality and changes in primary care prescriptions and reviews. Method An AKI cohort was created within SAIL by recreating the NHS England eAlert algorithm. Using our renal dataset, we identified patients undergoing dialysis who do not have AKI. Using this cohort as a comparator, we validated the Welsh eAlerts seen in clinical practice, and assessed their effect on mortality, recovery, hospital coding, need for dialysis and primary care Read code entries. Results Only two thirds of AKI recognised by our methodology had an eAlert sent. This is because Welsh eAlerts had a modification applied to it, making it different to the eAlerts used elsewhere in the UK, which was previously unknown to researchers and clinicians. 1 in 12 eAlerts seen by clinicians were false positives (dialysis patients). eAlerts improve recovery from AKI but do not improve the need for dialysis, primary care medication reviews and, in all bar one health board, they do not reduce mortality at 30-days or 1-year. We did not observe an increase in primary care medication reviews, nor did we see changes in many important medication prescriptions following the introduction of eAlerts. Conclusions Welsh eAlerts alone are not enough to improve AKI outcomes in Wales and standardising alerts with those sent throughout the rest of the United Kingdom is now being adopted.
Livro de Areia e a Bíblia
Authors: Souza Nogueira Paulo Augusto de , Adriano Filho José
Published: January 2024

Este artigo procura pensar modelos de leitura de textos religiosos e, entre eles, da Bíblia, a partir da experiência da leitura em Jorge Luis Borges. A Bíblia é entendida como um texto potencial para a criação de textos, como um mundo de palavras que geram virtualidades, cuja função é alimentar as criações poéticas e de lhes potencializar a ficção. O texto religioso é dotado de polissemia, de forma análoga ao texto artístico, razão pela qual se encontrem, frequentemente, na zona fronteiriça entre arte e religião, na base da criação metafórica, nas características comuns do pensamento mitopoético, na estrutura do pensamento ficcional que subjaz a ambos. Ao destacar as conexões entre o texto religioso e o artístico e seguir dois dos fios puxados por Borges, a materialidade do texto e a abordagem microscópica, o artigo apresenta o conceito de texto e de leitura no relato O Livro de Areia, além de destacar como Borges interpreta textos bíblicos de forma direta, paródica e irônica, quando os relê na forma de fragmentos apócrifos.
Corpo na literatura sacro-erótica

Published: January 2024

A literatura medieval desenvolvida entre 1200 e 1350 e sua evolução subsequente revelou um período de grande riqueza de produção literária mística, de acordo com estudiosos da história da mística ocidental, como Bernard McGinn (1998). O período é altamente propício para uma investigação preliminar na qual a mística seja protagonista e, por este motivo, propomo-nos a estudar o conceito de erotismo espiritual em trechos de Vita Nuova (1292-1293), de Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), poeta, filósofo, político e grande nome da literatura italiana, e nos escritos de Santa Teresa D’Ávila (1515-1582), beata, autora de tratados, poemas e uma das mais importantes esposas místicas da Igreja Católica. Partimos da hipótese de que a carga erótica presente na experiência mística ultrapassa apenas um ideal de prazer corpóreo, mas apresenta, através do corpo, o início e os indícios da magnitude da experimentação espiritual. Para tanto, em Dante observaremos os efeitos dessa experiência mística no corpo, embasando-nos nos estudos de Agamben (2007), como conceito de amor como fantasma, Sturges (2012) e Santagata (2017), bem como exploraremos a temática mística e erótica de Santa Teresa através de seus próprios escritos a respeito do episódio de sua transverberação e dos tratados de Câmara (2020) e Alves (2019).
Homossexual: pecador e un-African?
Authors: Bandeira de Melo Junior Orison Marden , Riambau Pinheiro Vanessa
Published: January 2024

Apesar de haver, no Brasil, uma discussão ainda escassa sobre as questões queer em África, várias obras literárias buscam representar o ser africano queer na contemporaneidade. Entre elas, está a coletânea de contos Queer Africa 2, em que se encontra “The day he came” de Amatesiro Dore, corpus deste trabalho. Este artigo busca, dessa forma, trazer uma análise do conto pautada na interação entre mundo da arte e mundo da vida, buscando compreender o contexto da homossexualidade na Nigéria, espaço ficcional escolhido por Dore e país onde a homossexualidade é criminalizada, e sua relação com o discurso religioso (pecado), legal (crime) e tradicional (un-Africannes) a partir das vozes, em sua maioria, de intelectuais africanos que se debruçam sobre o tema. Verificou-se que, no conto, o autor, mesmo estabelecendo o mundo ficcional na Nigéria, prioriza o discurso religioso e não a questão legal ou tradicional como a fonte principal dos conflitos vividos pelo protagonista Peter.
Persistência do tráfico internacional de mulheres
Authors: Leonardo Francisco Antonio Morilhe , Sanches Raquel Cristina Ferraroni
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho aborda a questão do Tráfico Internacional de Mulheres cujo crime é uma das maiores atividades lucrativas, hodiernamente. Dessa forma, esse crime tem como característica a forma em que os aliciadores escolhem suas vítimas, pois, de início, são enganadas com falsas promessas de um emprego bem remunerado e uma vida melhor em outro país, logo, os traficantes tiram seus passaportes, compram suas passagens aéreas e as transferem a outro local com o objetivo de exploração sexual. Em decorrência disso, assim que chegam ao país de destino descobrem que foram enganadas e são obrigadas a consumirem bebidas e drogas e, também, à prestação de serviços sexuais a fim de pagarem suas dívidas com os traficantes. Ademais, tem-se como objetivo analisar as características da mulher na sociedade e a divisão de gêneros em que o Brasil se encontra para, assim compreender, quais são os motivos históricos que acarretam até hoje para que a mulher sofra as sequelas desse crime. Assim, verificam-se as causas e consequências, bem como os perfis das vítimas e dos aliciadores, uma vez que, apesar de tamanho crime, o tráfico de mulheres ainda é uma temática que precisa de maior importância e com isso, busca-se compreender quais são as tutelas legislativas existentes para o tráfico, conforme seus tratados internacionais e quais as medidas que devem ser necessárias em nosso ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Logo, pretende-se analisar por qual motivo as mulheres são as pessoas mais traficadas no mundo para o fim de exploração sexual e como combater o tráfico internacional de mulheres, com o escopo de identificar quais as ações do governo em prol ao combate ao Tráfico de Mulheres são efetivas. Assim, a metodologia adotada é a revisão de literatura, a pesquisa qualitativa e o método dedutivo.
Estado de direito para quem?
Authors: Silva Luciano Braz
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo pretendendo fazer uma releitura dos pressupostos de validade do direito toma como campo de pesquisa o mundo da vida interpretado como esfera dos discursos, dos diálogos interpelativos, e do próprio exercício democrático. Dado às realidades dispares situadas no mundo da vida, questiona-se a própria validade do direito quando temas ligados aos direitos fundamentais do homem, sua dignidade e reconhecimento e, a compreensão do Estado Democrático de Direito se contradizem ante realidades que ainda apontam pessoas, grupos, e etnias esquecidas à margem da sociedade.  A insuficiência em termos de abastecimento soma-se à insuficiência em termos de segurança e a uma profusão de riscos ainda presentes na sociedade. Nesse ínterim, surgem custos sociais que parecem exigir demais da capacidade de integração de uma sociedade liberal. São indubitáveis indicadores que mensuram o grau de pobreza que se alastra nos países subdesenvolvidos, bem como em alguns países da Europa, o grau de insegurança social que se instala entre as classes sociais, refletem o crescimento de disparidades salariais que evidenciam o colapso da desintegração social instaurada nos países latinos.
