Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the neurological recovery with a follow-up of 06 (six) months in victims of thoracic and lumbar fractures who underwent spinal decompression in less than 24 hours, between 24 and 48 hours, and more than 48 hours after the trauma. Methods: Data were collected on patients seen at a large public hospital in Belo Horizonte, between 2014 and 2018, who were victims of SCI who presented with neurological deficits at initial care, and the neurological recovery presented. Results: 41 SCI patients were evaluated, whose mean age was 34 years. There was a predominance of thoracic spine fractures (65.9% of the cases) and classified as AO Spine type C (75%). Regarding the time variable, about 68% of the patients were submitted to surgical treatment more than 48 hours after the trauma. It was observed that both the patients submitted to surgical decompression within less than 24 hours, and those operated on more than 48 hours after the trauma showed a slight neurological improvement at the 6-month follow-up. However, no statistical significance was found. It is worth noting that even when analyzing the 41 patients of the study, regardless of the surgical interval, it was impossible to observe a statistically significant neurological improvement at the 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: Our study could not demonstrate significant differences between those patients who operated early in less than 24 hours and those who operated after more than 48 hours.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the influence of the degree of severity of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) on the distribution of plantar load on the feet during gait. Material and Methods: 40 patients with AIS were evaluated and divided into severity groups: 13 with mild AIS; 13 with moderate AIS; and 14 with severe AIS. Cobb angles (degrees) were evaluated by radiography. Gait was assessed using the pressure platform at a frequency of 100 Hz. The adolescents walked on a 20-meter track, with their feet resting on the platform, totaling an average of 12 steps. The following were evaluated: contact area, peak pressure, and maximum force on the 4 regions of the feet: hindfoot (medial and lateral), midfoot, and forefoot. Results: Adolescents with moderate and severe AIS showed an increase in peak pressure and maximum force on the medial (p=0.014; p=0.045, respectively) and lateral (p=0.035; p=0.039, respectively) hindfoot and a reduction on the midfoot (p=0.024) when compared to mild AIS. The contact area showed no differences between groups. Conclusion: The moderate and severe degree of AIS severity promoted increased plantar load on the medial and lateral hindfoot (heel) during gait compared to adolescents with a mild degree of scoliotic curvature. In this way, gait training in the milder stages of disease severity can minimize the overload and the increase in force vectors on the spine, preventing the progression of severe scoliotic curvature.

Kinetics and kinematics of dog walk exercise in agility dogs of different experiences
Authors: Godoy Roberta Ferro de , Blake Scott , Anthony Gemma
Published: April 2023

The injury rate in agility dogs is relatively high compared to the general population. No study to date has considered the biomechanical effects of the dog walk obstacle in agility trials, highlighting a research need. The aim of this study was to assess forelimb joint kinematics and peak ground reaction forces (PVF) over a dog walk agility obstacle and correlate with experience. Dogs were filmed running across a Kennel Club (KC) standard dog walk for kinematics analysis. Two pressure sensors were secured to the (1)  dog walk contact area at exit and (2) ground at the end of the dog walk  (landing area) for kinetics analysis. Forelimb joints angles and  PVF at the contact zone at the walk exit and landing  were analysed. A key finding is that the way a dog will move across the obstacle changes depending on their level of experience, with experienced dogs showing faster obstacle negotiation and increased flexion of the elbow joint compared to inexperienced competitors. Higher speeds over the dog walk also resulted in significantly increased elbow joint flexion. Another important finding is that PVF at landing are higher is dogs  that are faster and also in dogs performing running technique in comparison to  stopped technique,. Overall, dog walk obstacle created more forelimbs joint flexion and similar PVF in comparison with previously studied agility contact obstacles which leads us to conclude that further research is required to ascertain the long term health implications for dogs used in agility trials.

Authors: Mahmoodi Mohammad Javad , Khamehchi Masoumeh , Safi Mohammad
Published: April 2023

A comprehensive semi-empirical model was developed to predict the drying shrinkage strain (DSS) of concrete reinforced with graphene oxide nanosheets (GONs). The model includes various internal and external parameters. The effects of three factors (the age when drying starts, the GON content and aspect ratio) on the DSS of concrete reinforced with GONs were investigated. Compared with the results of other models (CABR, CEB-78, CEB-90, ACI-209, B3 and GL2000 for plain concrete and modified ACI-209 and B3 models for concrete reinforced with GONs), the results of the proposed model were found to be in better agreement with the experimental data. Moreover, several sensitivity analyses were carried out for the DSS of concrete with 0.02, 0.05 and 0.08 wt% GONs as functions of the environmental relative humidity and temperature, compressive strength, cement content, aggregate/cement ratio, sample size, gravel/sand ratio, sand/cement ratio and water/cement ratio. The developed model can not only evaluate the DSS of concrete containing GONs well, but it can also be applied to predict the DSS of cement reinforced with GONs.
Quantifying the impact of bridge geometry and surrounding terrain: wind effects on bridges
Authors: Zhang Yuxiang , Sweeney Conor , Cardiff Philip , Cahill Fergal , Keenahan Jennifer
Published: April 2023

The safety and serviceability of long-span bridges can be significantly impacted by wind effects and therefore it is crucial to estimate them accurately during bridge design. This study develops full-scale three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation models to replicate wind conditions at the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge in Ireland. The neglect of bridge geometries and the use of small scales in previous studies are significant limitations, and both the bridge geometry and surrounding terrain are included here at full scale. Input values for wind conditions are mapped from weather simulations that apply the weather research and forecasting model. Wind velocities at four different points calculated by CFD simulations are compared with corresponding data collected from structural health monitoring field measurements. The calculated time-averaged wind velocities at four different locations on the bridge are shown to have relative differences of less than 10% from the wind velocities measured by anemometers 90% of the time. The maximum relative difference among all comparisons was only 15%, shown to be partially due to the inclusion of the full bridge and terrain geometry.

A Pre-Hospital Intervention to Alleviate Loneliness and Isolation in Older Adults
Authors:   Department of Emergency Medicine, NHS, UK, Perera Yani
Published: April 2023

Aims The project’s objectives included determining how lonely older folks were in their pre-hospital environment and how much social contact they had. To gauge older individuals’ knowledge of regional programmes to combat isolation and loneliness. Letting elderly folks who could benefit from local services know that they are available. Using pre-hospital efforts to identify and treat patients who are lonely. Methods Thirty (30) patients were recruited whilst on 6 ambulance observer shifts in Berkshire, UK. The ambulance observer shifts took place between January 2023 to February 2023. The patients were asked a simple questionnaire on loneliness and social isolation. At the end of the questionnaire, all patients were offered information leaflets with local services and their contact details that they might find useful to alleviate loneliness and social isolation. Patients were also offered a follow-up telephone call to assess the impact of the intervention or if help was needed with getting in touch with the local services. Results Of the 30 patients interviewed, 15 were male and 15 were female. The youngest patient was 66-years-old and the oldest patient interviewed was 98. The average age was 80.4. Twelve (12) patients (40%) scored 7 and above on the question of ‘How lonely do you feel?’, with 10 being extremely lonely. Fifty percent (50%) of the patients saw their friends or families less than twice a week and 46.6% spoke to their friends and families less than twice a week. Several patients had not had a conversation with friends or family for several weeks, with one response being ‘over 3-months ago’. The vast majority (80%) of patients interviewed did not know that there were charities and local services in place to alleviate loneliness and social isolation. As part of the intervention, patients were offered information leaflets about local services available. These were printed on A4 paper or emailed to the patients if they preferred a digital copy. Conclusion Loneliness and social isolation is an epidemic on the rise amongst older adults, and their effects transcend not only mental wellbeing but physical health as well. Intervening in the pre-hospital setting is pivotal because pre-hospital practitioners are in a unique position to observe and assess patients in their own environment and gather firsth and evidence about the determinants of the patient’s health. The benefits will be multi-fold if we can help patients before they get admitted to hospitals. Apart from the economic benefits of reduced admissions, patients will not be unnecessarily admitted and put at risk of deconditioning or nosocomial infections. Most importantly, these interventions aim to improve the patient’s overall quality of life by enhancing their social connections and reducing loneliness.
A systems approach to understanding novice teachers' experiences and professional learning
Authors: Bertram Carol
Published: April 2023

The seeming disconnect between what novice teachers learn at university and what their first year of teaching demands has been described and lamented for decades. Researchers, teachers, and school managers often blame teacher education programmes for not preparing novice teachers for the realities of school. However, blaming student teachers' initial teacher education (ITE) programme is reductionist and ignores that this is only one of the complex systems that shape their practice. I argue that a more productive way to understand novice teachers' experiences is through a systems approach that engages with four nested systems that shape their practice-the system of the teacher (that encompasses their personal and professional identities and their knowledge and competences), the classroom system, the school system and the macro-educational system. In this paper, I present interview data generated from 30 novice teachers after they had been teaching for 18 months. The data shows that many challenges faced cannot be addressed by the ITE curriculum because they are grounded in other sub systems. I engage with what ITE programmes can do and suggest that the main influence of ITE is in developing student teachers' ethical commitment, professional identity, competences, and professional knowledge and in providing practical teaching experiences in different schools. I also highlight what aspects need to be addressed by the macro levels of the schooling system.
El racismo a examen. Una aproximación al modelo estatal de investigación y diagnóstico del racismo en el Estado español
Authors: Escudero Zabala Laura
Published: April 2023

El impulso de los derechos humanos universales trajo consigo la idea de que el racismo y las discriminaciones son asuntos que deben ser enfrentados por los estados. Este pensamiento no solo ha traído a nuestros días la exigencia de desarrollar políticas y legislaciones, sino también la obligatoriedad de poner en marcha órganos nacionales que desarrollen acciones y establezcan medidas para el estudio y el diagnóstico con el fin de garantizar la no discriminación de todas las personas que residen en sus territorios. En este marco, el presente artículo pone de relieve algunos resultados derivados de la exploración y análisis de fuentes escritas relacionadas con las discriminaciones raciales elaboradas por el Estado español en las últimas dos décadas. El texto pretende hacer un acercamiento al modelo de investigación y diagnóstico llevado a cabo en la lucha contra las discriminaciones, con la intención de conocer cuáles son las principales perspectivas teórico-metodológicas implementadas, además de señalar algunas de las limitaciones y vacíos que estos modelos de investigación presentan. En particular, el análisis advierte sobre la necesidad de dar un giro a los modelos, ya que, en vez de captar la complejidad y diversidad que adquieren las prácticas de discriminación racial, acaban por reinstalar y perpetuar el silencio y la invisibilidad de algunas experiencias racistas.

Authors: Demirkol Kaan , Kartal Büşra , Taşdemir Adem
Published: April 2023

High-quality Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education provides unique opportunities for students’ futures. STEM education requires integrating multiple disciplines and promotes students’ problem-solving skills when engaging with real-world problems like engineers. Teachers have prominent roles in helping students develop basic concepts, connect their interests to their abilities, and sustain their curiosity from the early years. The present study used a predictive correlational survey design to investigate students’ STEM career interests and the effects of teacher-related variables: teacher attitudes and self-efficacy beliefs. The participants were 421 middle school students and 160 teachers randomly selected from the target population. STEM Attitudes Scale and Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale for STEM Practice were used to collect data from teachers, and STEM Career Interest Scale (STEM-CIS) was used for data collection from students. Normality assumptions were tested, and parametric tests were used. One sample t-test was used to compare students’ observed mean scores to the expected mean scores and multiple linear regression to investigate the predictivity of teacher attitudes and self-efficacy beliefs on student interests. The results revealed positive weak, and moderate relationships between teacher attitudes, self-efficacy beliefs, and student interests. Additionally, teacher efficacy beliefs had stronger predictivity on student interests than attitudes had.

Published: April 2023

STEAM is one of the teaching strategies frequently used in science education in recent years to ensure the development of students of different ages and characteristics. This study aimed to reveal the effect of STEAM-based activities on gifted students' STEAM attitudes, cooperative working skills, and career choices. For this purpose, a single group pre-test post-test design was used. Thirty-seven secondary school fifth-grade students (10-11 years old) diagnosed as gifted participated in the research. STEAM-based activities were applied to the students for ten weeks. STEAM Attitude Scale, Cooperative Learning Process Scale, and an open-ended question form for career choices were used as data collection tools. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used for the quantitative data analysis, and thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. At the end of the application, it was observed that the students' attitudes toward STEAM increased; cooperative working skills improved; they turned to STEAM disciplines in their career choices. It is recommended to give STEAM education to gifted students from an early and guide them to shape their careers.

Authors: Kurt Uluhan , Taş Yasemin
Published: April 2023

This study investigated the relationships among achievement goals, self-efficacy beliefs, and engagement in science during COVID-19. Distance education was launched due to COVID-19, and there is a need to examine these relations in the online science learning context. Participants were 448 students between 5th and 8th graders receiving distance education for eight months. Path analysis indicated mastery-approach goals and particular self-efficacy aspects positively predicted student engagement. Science communication and conceptual understanding have become prominent among self-efficacy aspects, while higher-order cognitive skills were unrelated to student engagement. Also, negative linkages were identified between performance-approach goals, emotional engagement, cognitive engagement, and performance-avoidance goals. The variance explained in the engagement components ranged from 47% to 60%. Some of the participants’ engagement and motivation in science were negatively affected by distance education. Suggestions were made to foster students’ engagement and motivation in distance science education.

Published: April 2023

Introduction. The problem of artificial pregnancy termination is of global importance. Any woman faced with the problem of reproductive choice is vulnerable, needs both to be advised by an obstetrician-gynecologist and high-quality psychological support. At the stage of pre-abortion counseling, it seems possible to influence a decision to keep pregnancy by identifying risk factors for premature ovarian failure (РОF), laboratory and ultrasound criteria for reducing ovarian reserve (OR).

Aim: optimization of the pre-abortion counseling algorithm by introducing an assessment of OR. 

Materials and Methods. A retrospective study was conducted, which included 58 women under 40 living in the Volgograd region and planning to terminate own first pregnancy. In order to identify factors of early decrease in OR, anamnestic data of patients were evaluated. A comprehensive assessment of the main OR parameters was performed by assessing blood serum level of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and inhibin B, ultrasound counting the number of antral follicles.

Results. In the main group of patients, 8 (13.8 %) of the examined patients had a birth weight of about 2800 g, 6 (10.3 %) – with a history of ovarian surgery and ovarian cysts were found after menarche. A relationship was also found between OR laboratory parameters in primigravida and the age of menopause in paired mothers: 2 (3.4 %) – 45 years, 8 (13.8 %) – 48–50 years. According to the diagnostic results, 10 (17.2%) patients showed a decrease in ОR and 48 (82.8%) patients had a normal OR. Taking into account the data obtained, a modified project of pre-abortion counseling was developed for the first time devoted to РОF.

Conclusion. The modified section of pre-abortion counseling takes into account the specifics of maternal OR and can improve quality of medical care for women planning to terminate own pregnancy due to more comprehensive information as well as affect the awareness of reproductive plans in the future.

Introduction A poorly balanced, unstable, or stiff joint is a major cause of residual pain, dissatisfaction, and revision after total knee replacement (TKA), but the definition of a well-balanced joint remains debatable. The aim of the study was to explore the influence of the knee space and the extensionflexion gap being accurately restored in primary TKA on the knee function and the quality of life of the patient. Material and methods A prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled study was performed for 41 patients with grade 3-4 knee osteoarthritis. (K-L): the first group (n = 21) underwent primary TKA with the method proposed for precise realignment of the extension-flexion gap, the second group (n = 20) underwent standard arthroplasty. The patients had CT scans of the knee performed preoperatively and postoperatively, and VAS scale pain, knee joint scales: OKS, FJS‑12, KSS (pain and function), SF-36 (parameters: PF, RP, BP, GH, VI, SF, RE, MH) were used at 3, 6 and 12 months. Results Comparison of the standing height of the joint space preoperatively and postoperatively showed a high statistical significance measuring about 20.7 % in frontal plane (group 1: 2.06 ± 2.368, group 2: 2.629 ± 2.455, р < 0.001), 28.2 % in the sagittal projection (group 1: 2.657 ± 2.143, group 2: 3.7 ± 1.717, р < 0.001), i.e., the method proposed allowed for more accurate positioning of the extension gap by 20.7 %, the flexion gap by 28.2 % and more accurate positioning of the knee space level. Preoperative and postoperative VAS, OKS, FJS-12 and SF-36 scores showed significant positive dynamics in both groups with no statistically significant difference between the groups. A statistically significant difference was seen in the functional KSS score in the groups measuring 90.6 ± 3.5 in group 1 - 12 months after surgery - and 85.6 ± 4.2 (p < 0.001) in group 2 - 12 months after surgery. Conclusion The study demonstrated the simple and effective technique proposed for positioning the flexion and extension gap of the knee joint in primary TKA and facilitated more accurate positioning of the implant and improved knee function at standard testing 12 months after surgery.

Published: April 2023

Introduction Post-traumatic hemarthrosis is identified as intra-articular hemorrhage accompanied by five classic signs of inflammation: hyperemia, hyperthermia, edema, pain and changes in the joint function. The objective of the study was to establish whether inflammation should be underestimated in post-traumatic hemarthrosis based on the analysis of the world scientific literature of recent years. Material and methods Internet search platform Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics, USA): databases Web of Science Core Collection (subscription access), Publons (open access), Medline (open access) were used to review scientific articles. Papers from the Scopus Elsevier database (Netherlands) were explored. The search depth was 15 years. Topics that did not receive coverage in the literature of this period were studied until the 1960s in some cases. More than 200 sources were identified on the subject. The literature published in the current year was analyzed covering 15.0 % of the materials, brought out in the last 5 years including the current year covering 56.3 %, in the last 10 years including the current year covering 73.8 %, in the last 15 years including the current year covering 81.3 %. Results and discussion The severity of injury and the accompanying inflammatory factors would characterize a rapid resolution or a more severe course of post-traumatic hemarthrosis during treatment. The combination of several variants of inflammation can lead to the development of complications including osteoarthritis in cases that show mechanisms of chronic systemic inflammation of low intensity being manifested at the time of injury; ankylosis of the joint resulting from chronic systemic inflammation of low intensity involving degenerative processes. Synovitis, as a complication of post-traumatic hemarthrosis, should be differentiated with signs of low-grade inflammation, chronic course of classical inflammation and presystemic inflammation (purulent arthritis) in view of the inflammation theory. Conclusion The analysis of modern literature has shown the complexity and versatility of aspects of inflammation in posttraumatic hemarthrosis. The lack of emphasis on the assessment of the inflammatory response in rehabilitation of patients with post‑traumatic hemarthrosis can result in complications causing preconditions for the development of osteoarthritis, ankylosis, synovitis.

Explorações da Feminilidade e Episódios Homossexuais na Adolescência: Katherine Mansfield
Authors: Háudenschild Teresa Rocha Leite
Published: April 2023

Katherine Mansfield dá voz à homossexualidade adolescente através de poemas e textos de seu diário onde comunica, com clareza e expressividade, os conflitos de uma adolescente de 17 anos no confronto com suas protosensorialidades e protoemoções emergentes. A autora relaciona esses episódios à relação pré-genital que Katherine mantinha com a avó, com que dormia em criança, episódios ocorridos justamente quando perde a avó. E também os relaciona com a idolatria dela por Oscar Wilde, cuja premissa era de que “a juventude permite tudo e deve ser usada o quanto puder”. E lembra Danielle Quinodoz (2003) que fala de uma “homossexualidade construtiva”, pois a adolescente expressa assim seu desejo de descobrir sua própria feminilidade em contato com o corpo feminino, acrescentando que se a adolescente pudesse contar com a capacidade de reverie do analista, para ajudá-la a dar sentidos a seus desejos, poderia elaborar construtivamente a culpa advinda de suas tendências homossexuais.

Abordagem metodológica quantitativa, utilizando-se da técnica estatística de análise descritiva, dos registros policiais da Divisão Especializada em Atendimento à Mulher de Belém (2016-2018). Os resultados indicam que 34,4% das mulheres foram vítimas de violência psicológica, e que os delitos ocorrem no período noturno, aos finais de semana, motivados por ódio/vingança. De onde pode-se concluir que o quantitativo alarmante de vítimas agredidas representa perigo quanto à integridade física das mulheres, sendo, portanto, necessário o estudo do fenômeno para fomentar o desenvolvimento de ações preventivas e repressivas.

A Doença Falciforme (DF) é a síndrome genética mais prevalente do mundo. No Brasil, 3.500 crianças nascem por ano com Anemia Falciforme (AF), a forma sintomática da doença, e 200 mil com o Traço Falciforme (TF), assintomáticos. No Pará, 1% da população possui AF e 4,4%, TF. Avaliamos sintomas clínicos, ancestralidade e autodeclaração de raça/cor. No Hemocentro regional do Pará, investigamos 60 pessoas com AF, com formulário semiestruturado, para compreender manifestações clínicas, relações sociorraciais, gênero, renda, direitos reprodutivos, aconselhamento genético e identidade. É incipiente o aconselhamento genético no Pará e inexiste um setor específico no Hemocentro. As pessoas relatam “evitar filhos porque podem nascer doentes”. 90% deles/as se autodeclaram negros/as, mas 41% tem DNA Europeu. As mulheres têm sintomas mais severos e convivem com renda 50% menor que os homens.

Authors: Passos Lucenilda Dos Santos , Leal Luiz Augusto Pinheiro
Published: April 2023

O presente trabalho realiza reflexões referentes à presença feminina na prática da capoeira em Belém do Pará no final do século XIX e início do XX, sendo analisadas as ações desempenhadas por essas mulheres e sua atuação na capoeiragem, tendo como objetivo geral analisar a atuação feminina na capoeira no espaço urbano, frente ao modelo de comportamento proposto pelas políticas contidas no período republicano. Os objetivos específicos estão baseados em identificar as punições feitas às mulheres capoeiras e compreender como se dava sua presença no ambiente da república paraense. A metodologia utilizada neste trabalho consiste em uma abordagem qualitativa utilizando o procedimento técnico da análise documental e bibliográfica, sendo examinados relatos jornalísticos e o Código Penal de 1890, que criminalizou a capoeira. Desse modo, desenvolver o debate em torno da história social da capoeira no Pará, envolvendo as mulheres, consiste em visibilizá-las como sujeitas históricas, revelando as múltiplas dimensões sociais e de historicidade vivenciadas por elas.
Saberes Ancestrais e o Combate à Colonialidade de Gênero: a experiência do coletivo Angoleiras Cabanas em Belém-PA
Authors: Marinho Alessandra Ferreiras , Assunção Brenda Thais Kalife de
Published: April 2023

Capoeira é uma prática de resistência e libertação dos negros. Porém, mesmo havendo registros de mulheres capoeira em Belém desde o século 19, as relações de gênero na Capoeira são influenciadas por valores ocidentais como machismo e patriarcado. Nesse processo, a capoeira vive o paradoxo de ser uma prática que se configura como descolonial, mas que é influenciada pela colonialidade de gênero. Desta forma, as mulheres praticantes da Capoeira Angola buscam formas coletivas de se organizar e lutar contra a colonialidade de gênero. Posto isto, nos propomos a analisar esta luta e os saberes ancestrais movidos por estas mulheres em Belém-PA, a partir da vivência do coletivo Angoleiras Cabanas.
“Eu Sou Porque Elas São”: Resistência e práticas emancipatórias em um coletivo de mulheres negras de Belém do Pará
Authors: Sousa Raissa Lennon Nascimento , Amorim Célia Regina Chagas Trindade
Published: April 2023

Este artigo se propõe a compreender as resistências e formas de práticas emancipatórias do coletivo Pretas Paridas de Amazônia, formado por mulheres negras e autônomas de Belém do Pará, o qual desenvolve produtos e serviços relacionados com temáticas afroamazônicas. A ideia é trazer um debate introdutório sobre racismo, colonialidade e negritude na Amazônia, e ainda travar uma discussão teórico-metodológica à luz dos conceitos de práticas emancipatórias e de solidariedade do pensador Paulo Freire (2011). Além dele, entre os autores que compõem a pesquisa estão Angela Davis (2016), bell hooks (2015; 2020), Lélia Gonzalez (2018), Patricia Hill Collins (2020), Silvio Almeida (2018) e Zélia Amador de Deus (2019). Consideramos que esse tipo de organização revela práticas emancipatórias pautadas em ideais de coletividade e solidariedade, como modo de superação das dificuldades estruturais provocadas por uma sociedade desigual
