Authors: Cunha Raquel Maria de Jesus Souza , Furtado Maria Janaílda Araújo , Silva Lucélia Soares da
Published: July 2021

A mortalidade materna constitui-se um grave problema de saúde pública, sendo os países em desenvolvimento os que apresentam maior número de mortes por nascidos vivos, assim como o Brasil que registra uma taxa correspondente a 60 mortes para cada 100 mil nascidos vivos, enquanto nos países desenvolvidos esses dados são menores, contabilizando 20 mortes para cada cem mil nascidos vivos.   No cenário brasileiro as maiores taxas de mortalidade materna estão registradas nos Estados do Piauí e Maranhão, provocando nas equipes de saúde a importância de buscar medidas que visem a redução deste quadro. Objetivos: Identificar a partir das evidências científicas as principais estratégias de prevenção da mortalidade materna. Método: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura. Resultado: A má condução do pré-natal na atenção básica é apontada como fator determinante e intrínseco no desfecho negativo da realidade da mortalidade materna. Conclusão: O estudo contribuiu significativamente para a análise da mortalidade materna e as estratégias de redução a partir das evidências científicas.
ALGUMAS POSSIBILIDADES PARA PENSAR AS ATITUDES VIOLENTAS CONTRA PESSOAS LGBT
Authors: Pascoal Matheus Mendes
Published: July 2021

A peça de teatro Campeonato Interdrag de Gaymada apresentada no Festival de Teatro de Curitiba 2017 trouxe a questão da agressividade contra o público trans e LGBT. Parodiando o jogo chamado de “Queimada” ou “Caçador”, onde os adversários (pessoas do outro time) são “caçados” e “queimados”. A intolerância e o ódio se fazendo ato remetem ao que Freud (1895) chamou de processo primário, onde a energia psíquica escoa livremente, passando sem barreira de representação. Existe na sociedade um padrão de exclusão das pessoas com opções sexuais divergentes do que é socialmente, culturalmente e historicamente aceito ou acordado. A perversidade do sujeito homofóbico pode ser entendida como uma válvula de escape para o sentimento de culpa que carrega em relação a experiências inconscientes frente ao objeto amado, onde, na impossibilidade do recalque, se abrem vias para um sentimento de culpa, podendo levar o sujeito a práticas homofóbicas num circuito perverso e compensatório para o mal-estar experienciado. O objetivo desse artigo é discutir, sob o olhar da psicanálise, o que leva algumas pessoas a terem atitudes agressivas, violentas ou persecutórias, que visam “queimar” seus semelhantes. Através da psicanálise, acreditamos que existam outros caminhos de lidar com o ódio, uma deles é torná-lo em palavra.

Authors: Menezes Roberta Di Paula
Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho é sobre a aplicabilidade, controle e transparência nas ações da administração pública brasileira. Perante muitas discussões procura-se mostrar as vertentes do “ser legal” das organizações públicas em um ambiente vasto da administração. Pode-se concluir que a Administração Pública, tem a função de efetivar o princípio da publicidade e estimular a participação dos cidadãos no julgamento das contas públicas em que o Tribunal de Contas da União é o órgão fiscalizador que coíbe eventuais desvios de recursos, visando a transparência administrativa. Os documentos analisados reforçam a importância da transparência como resultante do trabalho efetivo do sistema de controle externo. Para que haja qualquer mudança se busca sempre a referência da legalidade para a sua implantação de imediato ou gradativo de acordo com o grau de impacto na vida da sociedade, de forma transparente e o mais simples para o entendimento de todos, sobre quaisquer mudanças realizadas no meio público desde as realizações de serviços e atos. Neste contexto, o presente artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa com o objetivo de analisar a importância do controle externo, aplicabilidade da legalidade e transparência no planejamento e execução de ações na organização pública. Todavia, a utilização de pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentado no Direito Administrativo, tendo o limite temporal da Constituição Federal de 1988 e da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal. Para dar veracidade e sustentabilidade teórica ao estudo foram usados estudos de autores renomados da área da Administração Pública.

Authors: Leal Ailton Pires
Published: July 2021

A proposta deste trabalho é compreender as manifestações patológicas em Habitações de Interesse Social (HIS), destacando suas relações com as etapas de construção deste tipo e possíveis soluções para os problemas patológicos. Este propósito maior foi alcançado por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, qualitativa. Com base na literatura, apurou-se que as fissuras representam as patologias mais comuns nesse tipo de habitação, seguidas de deslocamento de revestimento, umidade e bolor. De forma geral, os problemas patológicos têm relação com as fases de projeto e de execução, evidenciando que maior rigor é necessário. Ainda, observou-se que as possíveis soluções para as manifestações patológicas levantadas dependem de projetos de construção com nível de qualidade desejável. Torna-se fundamental profissionais adequadamente qualificados, especialmente, na fase de execução, visto que algumas patologias decorrem de ações mal executadas. Ademais, considera-se que os objetivos colocados às HIS atendem às necessidades dos usuários.
DOAÇÃO E CUIDADO: RELATOS DE MÃES QUE SE DEDICAM INTEGRALMENTE AO CUIDADO DE FILHOS COM DEFICIÊNCIA
Authors: Miguel Thallya Leite , Silvino Ruty Vanessa Bernardo , Rolim Julianne Milenna Padilha
Published: July 2021

O estudo teve como objetivo apontar quais os processos psicológicos envolvidos na dedicação integral e no cuidado de filhos com deficiência. Participaram da pesquisa oito mães de pessoas com deficiência atendidas no CER IV - Centro Especializado em Reabilitação Mens Sana. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas individualmente, e posteriormente analisadas de acordo com a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontam que para entender a realidade do cotidiano do cuidado de filhos com deficiência é preciso entender as subjetividades das mães, as realidades em que vivem. A maternidade traz consigo uma realidade cercada de dores e prazeres, tais prazeres servem como motivação para a continuação do cuidado constante e integral, pois mesmo que não esteja presente fisicamente, a mãe está presente simbolicamente, pois mesmo distante do filho está sempre pensando e comandando seus cuidados. Conclui-se que a partir de uma compreensão de uma maternidade como algo particular, com significantes singulares e uma experiência de doação e cuidado, dores e amores, espera-se que tanto as mães, como as pessoas em geral passem a entender que as fragilidades, o cansaço e a culpa também fazem parte do processo e isso não minimiza o amor entre mãe e filho.

Authors: Barbosa Larissa Duarte Alves
Published: July 2021

A sustentabilidade sempre foi urgente, mas com o passar do tempo, essa urgência tem ficado mais visível por causa da quantidade de práticas prejudiciais ao meio ambiente geradas pelo ser humano. Atender as necessidades imediatas sem prejudicar as gerações futuras é um dos encargos da sustentabilidade, desse modo é possível dizer que ela pode estar presente em todas as etapas de uma construção civil, desde a sua ideia, até a execução da mesma, considerando seus quesitos fundamentais, sendo eles, economia, coletivo e o meio ambiente. A grande maioria dos impactos ambientais vem por meio da construção civil, na medida em que as cidades vão se expandindo, as construções vão aumentando e consequentemente a contaminação ambiental crescendo. Este artigo se trata de ações que podem ser feitas para diminuir a insustentabilidade, de forma especial, na construção civil, abordando um dos fatores mais importantes do nosso tempo, a problemática escassez da água e o que se pode fazer para que essa situação seja amenizada e não prejudique gerações futuras.

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Increasing the resolution of chemical transport model (CTM) predictions in urban areas is important to capture sharp spatial gradients in atmospheric pollutant concentrations and better inform air quality and emissions controls policies that protect public health. The chemical transport model PMCAMx was used to assess the impact of increasing model resolution on the ability to predict the source-resolved variability and population exposure to PM2.5 at 36 x 36, 12 x 12, 4 x 4, and 1 x 1 km resolutions over the city of Pittsburgh during typical winter and summer periods (February and July 2017). At the coarse resolution, county-level differences can be observed, while increasing the resolution to 12 x 12 km resolves the urban-rural gradient. Increasing resolution to 4 x 4 km resolves large stationary sources such as power plants and the 1 x 1 km resolution reveals intra-urban variations and individual roadways within the simulation domain. Regional pollutants that exhibit low spatial variability such as PM2.5 nitrate show modest changes when increasing the resolution beyond 12 x 12 km. Predominantly local pollutants such as elemental carbon and organic aerosol have gradients that can only be resolved at the 1 x 1 km scale. Contributions from some local sources are enhanced by weighting the average contribution from each source by the population in each grid cell. The average population weighted PM2.5 concentration does not change significantly with resolution, suggesting that extremely high resolution PM2.5 predictions may not be necessary for effective urban epidemiological analysis.
Derivation of seawater pCO2 from net community production identifies the South Atlantic Ocean as a CO2 source
Authors: Ford Daniel , Tilstone Gavin H. , Shutler Jamie D. , Kitidis Vassilis
Published: August 2021

Abstract. A key step in assessing the global carbon budget is the determination of the partial pressure of CO2 in seawater (pCO2 (sw)). Spatially complete observational fields of pCO2 (sw)  are routinely produced for regional and global ocean carbon budget assessments by extrapolating sparse in situ measurements of pCO2 (sw) using satellite observations. Within these schemes, satellite chlorophyll a (Chl a) is often used as a proxy for the biological drawdown or release of CO2. Chl a does not however quantify carbon fixed through photosynthesis and then respired, which is determined by net community production (NCP). In this study, pCO2 (sw) over the South Atlantic Ocean is estimated using a feed forward neural network (FNN) scheme and either satellite derived NCP, net primary production (NPP) or Chl a to compare which biological proxy is the most accurate. Estimates of pCO2 (sw)  using NCP, NPP or Chl a were similar, but NCP was more accurate for the Amazon Plume and upwelling regions, which were not fully reproduced when using Chl a or NPP. Reducing the uncertainties in the satellite biological parameters to estimate pCO2 (sw), illustrated further improvement and greater differences for NCP compared to NPP or Chl a. Using NCP to estimate pCO2 (sw) showed that the South Atlantic Ocean is a CO2 source, whereas if no biological parameters are used in the FNN (following existing annual carbon assessments), this region becomes a sink for CO2. These results highlight that using NCP improved the accuracy of estimating pCO2 (sw), and changes the South Atlantic Ocean from a CO2 sink to a source. Reducing the uncertainties in NCP derived from satellite parameters will further improve our ability to quantify the global ocean CO2 sink.
The influence of lateral transport on sedimentary alkenone paleoproxy signals
Authors: Ausín Blanca , Haghipour Negar , Bruni Elena , Eglinton Timothy
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Alkenone signatures preserved in marine sedimentary records are considered one of the most robust paleothermometers available, and are often used as a proxy for paleoproductivity. However, important gaps remain on the provenance and fate of alkenones, and their impact on derived environmental signals in marine sediments. Here, we analyze the abundance, distribution, and radiocarbon (14C) age of alkenones in bulk sediments and corresponding grain-size fractions in surficial sediments from seven continental margin settings in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans in order to evaluate the impact of organo-mineral associations and hydrodynamic sorting on sedimentary alkenone signals. We find that alkenones preferentially reside within fine-grained mineral fractions of continental margin sediments, with the preponderance of alkenones residing within the fine silt fraction (2–10 µm), and most strongly influencing alkenone 14C age, and SST signals from bulk sediments as a consequence of their proportional abundance and higher degree of OM protection relative to other fractions. Our results demonstrate that selective association of alkenones with mineral surfaces and associated hydrodynamic mineral sorting processes can alter alkenone signals encoded in marine sediments (14C age, content, and distribution) and confound corresponding proxy records (productivity and SST) in the spatial and temporal domain.
Future upstream water consumption and its impact on downstream availability in the transboundary Indus basin

Published: August 2021

Abstract. The densely populated plains of the lower Indus basin largely depend on water resources originating in the mountains of the upper Indus basin. Although recent studies have improved our understanding of this upstream-downstream linkage and the impact of climate change, water use in the mountainous part of the Indus has been largely ignored. This study quantifies the comparative impact of upper Indus water usage on downstream water availability under future climate change and socio-economic development. Future water consumption and relative pressure on water resources vary greatly between upper Indus sub-basins and seasons. During the dry season, the share of surface water required within the upper Indus is high and increasing, and in some sub-basins future water requirements exceed availability during the critical winter months. In the lower Indus this causes spatiotemporal hotspots to emerge where seasonal water availability is reduced by over 25 % compared to natural conditions. This plays an important, but previously not accounted for, compounding role in the steep decline of per capita seasonal water availability in the lower Indus in the future due to downstream population growth. Increasing consumption in the upper Indus may thus locally lead to water scarcity issues, and increasingly be a driver of downstream water stress during the dry season. The quantified perspective on the evolving upstream-downstream linkages of the transboundary Indus basin, provided in this study, highlights that long-term water management here must account for rapid socio-economic change in the upper Indus and anticipate increasing upstream-downstream water competition between riparian states.

Paddy is a staple food for most Indonesian people. A number of efforts were made to maintain the availability of paddy in the country. One of these efforts is to determine the beginning of the paddy planting season, especially lowland paddy in order to get maximum results and minimize crop failure. This study aims to determine the beginning of the growing season in the Limboto Bone Bolango watershed area. The beginning of the rainy season is the best time to be the beginning of the paddy planting season which requires sufficient irrigation in the vegetative phase. The data used in this study is rainfall time series data which is processed from TRMM 3B43 data: Monthly Precipitation Estimates (TRMM/3B43V7) and ERA5-Land monthly averaged - ECMWF climate reanalysis (ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/MONTHLY). Based on the time series data, the beginning of the rainy season is in February (DOY > 60) and October (DOY > 273). Based on this, it is expected that farmers in the Limboto Bone Bolango watershed can start the planting season in February and October.
Household structure and urban opportunities: Evaluating differences in the accessibility to jobs, education and leisure in São Paulo

Published: July 2021

Household structure has been recognized as an important element of residential location choice. The aim of this work is to understand how the spatial configuration resulting from these location choices could cause differentials in terms of urban life and opportunities. To do so, a weighted gravitational accessibility index is applied to the São Paulo Metropolitan Area to investigate the differences among household structures to distinct types of accessibility (jobs, education and leisure). The results point to a high disparity between accessibility levels, especially in the accessibility to jobs. The household size plays an important role, with lower accessibility levels associated with more members in the household. The study shows that the household composition also has impacts on accessibility and that higher deprivation levels affect single-parent households.

The purpose of this study was to establish an assessment method for evaluation of hand and mouth coordination during self-feeding. The subjects were four normally developed infants. Their feeding behavior was videotaped at two or four week intervals (from age eight months to thirty-six months). The items analyzed were nine viewpoints for finger feeding and eight viewpoints for spoon-feeding. The results obtained included: finger feeding - development of cylinder and pinch grasp, two patterns of hand in relation to neck and trunk, placement of food into the mouth, developmental aspects of neck rotation when taking food with the lips; spoon feeding - holding technique, flexion of elbow and shoulder, taking food from the spoon bowl by the lips, patterns of neck rotation. From the results of these observations, we conclude that the items analyzed in this study can be useful for the assessment of the developmental process of hand and mouth coordination in self-feeding.

Authors: Lawrence Jill , Brown Alice , Redmond Petrea , Maloney Suzanne , Basson Marita , Galligan Linda , Turner Joanna
Published: August 2021

Low levels of online student engagement impact negatively on student success and adversely affect attrition. Course learning analytics data (CLAD), combined with nudging initiatives, have emerged as strategies for engaging online students. This paper presents a mixed method case study involving a staged intervention strategy focussing on the employment of timely, strategic communication interventions conducted across 19 courses and six disciplines. The research methodology utilised CLAD, online surveys, student interviews and student evaluations of teaching. The findings substantiate benefits for both academics and students. Academics benefitted from the provision of a relatively simple, accessible and proactive intervention for increasing students’ capacities to be more in control and engaged in their learning. Students benefitted as the intervention accentuated critical resources to assist them to better address assessment requirements, align their expectations more realistically with those of the course, and more readily demonstrate their learning obligations and responsibilities.

This phantom gibbet: writing through/as melancholy
Authors: Watkins Ross
Published: August 2021

In Black Sun: Depression and Melancholia (1989), Julia Kristeva suggests that melancholy

– an experience of ‘object loss’ (effectively, when a sign fails to correspond to its meaning,

as established by Freud) – is a language which requires learning in order for this state of

being (or ‘nonbeing’) to be understood. Melancholy affect, Kristeva argues, can thus be

transposed into art where the ‘symbolic’ is represented through the ‘sign’; she states:

’Artifice, as sublime meaning for and on behalf of the underlying, implicit nonbeing replaces

the ephemeral’ (Kristeva 1989: 99). In other words, in the experience of ‘object loss’ we

look toward the imagination and the construction of signs to fill the void and make meaning

– absence evoked by a presence. Accepting these ideas, this paper explores the paradoxical

nature of narrative writing (via poetry by Keats, memoir by Malouf, and fiction by Banville)

as a process which not only removes the melancholic from the object of their experience,

but constructs a container for the melancholy object, to which the writer is inherently bound.
Dead men can talk: voicing the dead in crime fiction
Authors: Dodd Leanne
Published: August 2021

Death is frequently the defining event and consequently an indispensable presence, in

most crime fiction narratives. Historically, death in crime fiction is embodied in

graphic descriptions of the crime scene and the corpse. In an age of significant

advances in technology and unlimited access to information, there has been a shift in

the sympathies of readers who want to comprehend not only what death looks like, but

also what death feels like through the voice of the victim. Traditionally used as a plot

device to initiate the detection and investigation of the crime, the corpse has undergone

a resurrection that imposes upon the body its own narrative as a means to explore

modern social and cultural anxieties surrounding death. Examining the work of crime

writers throughout the history of the genre, this paper investigates the representation of

death and the dead body’s changing purpose within the narrative of crime fiction.

Various narrative strategies are identified that inform writers how to engage their

intended audience in a conversation with the dead. Considering these in conjunction

with trauma theory illuminates how crime writers may assuage some of the cultural

taboos and anxieties around death while enhancing the appeal of their crime fiction.
Writing murder: elements of Gothic horror in Matthew Milat’s ‘meat axe’ poetry
Authors: Anae Nicole
Published: August 2021

Eighteen-year-old Matthew Stephen Milat, the grand-nephew of convicted serial-killer

Ivan Milat, wrote a series of poems while in custody for the murder of seventeen-yearold David Auchterlonie in 2010 in the Belanglo State Forest, New South Wales; the same

bushland in which Milat’s great-uncle had killed seven backpackers throughout the

1990s. Matthew Milat’s choice to narrate the aftermath of David Auchterlonie’s murder

in the genre of poetry quite literally draws this form of writing about death, specifically

from the perspective of a real-life teen-killer, toward the macabre fringes of literary and

popular culture. This examination of Milat’s verse-writing – ‘Your Last Day,’ ‘Cold Life,’

and ‘Killer Looks And On Evil Side’ – situates an analysis of his poetry against the

broader journalistic trend to write the nature of Milat’s crime utilizing elements of both

the Gothic family tradition and the monstrous. Shared blood-ties between great-uncle

and grand-nephew provided a rich site in framing the perverse convergence of heredity

and monstrosity within the teen-killer/serial-killer narrative. In the absence of Gothic

literary tradition focussing attention on this form of poetry – by a teen-killer, by a teenkiller with blood ties to a convicted serial-killer – this examination of Matthew Milat’s

verse-writing also aims to offer a contribution to this scholarship while simultaneously

tracing the contemporary emergence of the Gothic into new sites as an idiosyncratic form

of writing murder by a real-life adolescent killer.
‘If the sky should fall’: an exploration of how a novella can portray the grief of bereavement from a comparative worldviews perspective
Authors: Hopper Belinda
Published: August 2021

This article discusses my research into how our worldview shapes our experience of grief

and loss in relation to death and dying and how, using the methodology of practice-led

research, I wrote a novella, ‘If the sky should fall’. The purpose of the novella is to explore grief from a comparative perspective of Atheism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and New Age spirituality, and to explore worldviews through the lens of grief. The novella was submitted as my creative artefact for the degree of Masters of Creative Arts, Creative Writing, at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
La visión político-educativa del joven Ortega y Gasset ante el problema de España
Authors: Jiménez-Díaz José Francisco
Published: July 2021

Este artículo analiza la visión político-educativa ideada por José Ortega y Gasset para abordar el problema de España. Para ello se estudian un conjunto de escritos iniciales del filósofo, publicados entre 1908 y 1914, en los que trata los siguientes conceptos: cultura, minoría, pueblo, pedagogía social, Parlamento, opinión pública, liberalismo, nueva política y regeneración. Hacia 1910, Ortega piensa que la principal carencia de España es su atraso cultural respecto a Europa. Para afrontar esta carencia, el pensador desarrolla dicha visión reclamando la acción educadora de una minoría reflexiva que debe proponerse dos objetivos relacionados: educar al pueblo español y elevar el nivel cultural de este. De esta manera, Ortega argumenta que no es posible crear un proyecto político coherente para el país sin un desarrollo cultural y educativo previo. Así que educación y cultura se conciben como herramientas impulsoras del cambio sociopolítico. Por ello, el autor imagina una visión político-educativa reflejada, a su vez, en un proyecto de regeneración del país, que libere a este de los elementos que impiden el desarrollo sociocultural. Dicho proyecto regenerador tiene un medio principal que es la “nueva política”, pero también diferentes limitaciones que llevan al fracaso del primero.
Comunicación electoral 2.0: presencia y actividad en Twitter de los candidatos a la alcaldía de Valencia en las elecciones del 26 de mayo de 2019
Authors: Nicasio-Varea Blanca , Pérez-Gabaldón Marta
Published: July 2021

La presente investigación tiene por objeto analizar la comunicación política 2.0 en los perfiles en Twitter de los candidatos a la alcaldía de Valencia que, según el CIS, se preveía que obtuviesen representación en el consistorio de la ciudad. El análisis incluye todos los tuits publicados en dichos perfiles durante la campaña electoral celebrada entre el 10 y el 24 de mayo de 2019. El estudio se realiza en dos niveles: uno cuantitativo, en el que se recogen y contabilizan los mensajes publicados, y otro cualitativo, en el que se clasifican temáticamente. Además, se investiga la interacción con el ciudadano-elector a través de los medios que permite la red social. Los resultados reflejan un uso habitual, estratégico y dispar de los perfiles por parte de los distintos líderes políticos. Del estudio se desprende que, a pesar del cada vez mayor uso de esta red de microbbloging por parte de los representantes políticos, este instrumento ofrece infinitas posibilidades que todavía los líderes deben aprender a explotar, a fin de llegar a su electorado y lograr su apoyo en las urnas.
Vox y el uso de la historia
Authors: Ballester Rodríguez Mateo
Published: July 2021

El llamado uso público de la historia hace referencia a la práctica habitual por parte, entre otros, de instituciones del Estado y partidos políticos, de proyectar determinadas interpretaciones del pasado para fomentar valores y planteamientos ideológicos en el presente. El presente artículo analiza el comportamiento del partido Vox en este sentido, que ha sido objeto de algún enfoque periodístico pero no académico, y que resulta particularmente relevante por varias razones. El partido destaca por la intensidad con la que recurre a referencias históricas en su comunicación política, así como por su énfasis preferente en hitos del pasado remoto de España, y en particular la Reconquista y el periodo imperial (siglos XVI y XVII). Se abordan en este estudio las variadas maneras en las que el partido Vox hace uso como instrumento político de una particular interpretación de la historia de España, que supone en buena medida la recuperación del relato histórico nacional conservador del siglo XIX, también dominante en los años del franquismo. El relato histórico que el partido asume ha sido por lo general descartado y abandonado por la historiografía académica contemporánea.
La contraprogramación cultural de Vox: secularización, género y antifeminismo.
Authors: Álvarez- Benavides Antonio , Jiménez Aguilar Francisco
Published: July 2021

En apenas dos años, Vox pasó de ser un partido residual desde su creación a convertirse en la tercera fuerza política en España. Aunque los motivos de su ascenso son múltiples, sus estrategias para presentarse a la opinión pública, su ideología y su discurso supone el culmen del desarrollo de distintas formas, colectivos y partidos de extrema derecha durante las últimas dos décadas. En este texto analizaremos el antifeminismo de Vox como un elemento estructurante de su ideología y como un ejemplo claro de la evolución de su discurso político respecto a la extrema derecha tradicional, a través del proceso de secularización de su concepción de las relaciones de género y de la articulación de masculinidades y feminidades de corte tradicional, adaptadas a las realidades contemporáneas.
Ferguson, S. (2020): Mujeres y Trabajo. Feminismo, trabajo y reproducción social, Colección Intersecciones, Barcelona, Ed. Sylone-Viento Sur. 174 pp
Authors: Ferrero Turrión Ruth
Published: July 2021

La renovada fuerza del movimiento feminista ha puesto los temas del trabajo en el centro de la agenda política y social en los últimos años. La brecha salarial, la agenda de los cuidados, las políticas de conciliación y corresponsabilidad, la feminización de la precariedad, por citar algunos aspectos, reflejan una nueva elaboración teórica y propuestas políticas, que beben del hilo morado de la historia, actualizando ciertos conceptos y abriendo nuevos debates.

Y es que la relación del trabajo y las mujeres, las formas de explotación y cómo conseguir la emancipación e igualdad, no son cuestiones ni mucho menos nuevas, han ocupado las reflexiones y reivindicaciones feministas desde hace más de dos siglos.

En este libro, Mujeres y trabajo: feminismo, trabajo y reproducción social, su autora, Susan Ferguson, analiza las ideas que han inspirado a las mujeres a protestar, explorando los debates y las estrategias políticas en torno al trabajo —trabajo remunerado, no remunerado, productivo, reproductivo—, su reorganización social y la lucha por la emancipación. Para ello, establece la distinción entre dos enfoques: el feminismo de la igualdad —donde se encuentra tanto el feminismo de la igualdad liberal como el feminismo de la igualdad crítico— y el feminismo de la reproducción social.
Leveraging blockchain based decentralized apps for the Tokyo Olympics amid the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has induced a cloud of uncertainty over the mega sports event, the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Cancelling or re-scheduling the event could have serious repercussions on the economic, social and environmental well-being for the involved stakeholders. Thus, it becomes critical to conduct events of this magnitude by adopting appropriate public health measures. In this research, we primarily focus on two main premises relative to public health and safety, contact tracing and crowd management. We explore and evaluate the usability of blockchain based decentralized apps in crowd management and contact tracing for the Tokyo Olympics using value-focused thinking (VFT). A VFT framework aids in narrowing fundamental and strategic objectives that need to be addressed for smooth contact tracing and crowd management by understanding stakeholder viewpoints. We established an equivalence of the objectives identified through VFT with blockchain technology properties. Further, we also present a conceptual ideation of contact tracing and crowd management through blockchain based decentralized apps for the Tokyo Olympics. This work could potentially assist decision-makers, researchers and stakeholders involved in organizing the Tokyo Olympics in understanding and analysing the utility of blockchain based decentralized apps for crowd management and contact tracing.
Socio-Technical Perspective for Electronic Tax Information System in Tanzania
Authors: Ngowi Lucas , Kalinga Ellen , Mvungi Nerey
Published: August 2021

Socio-technical systems theory has rarely been used by system architects in setting up computing systems. However, the role of socio-technical concepts in computing, which is becoming social in nature, has made the concepts more relevant and commercial. Tax information systems are examples of such systems because they are influenced by external variables such as the political environment, technological trends, and social environment, introducing complexity in their deployment and determining the type of e-services and their delivery to a diverse group of people. It was observed that in Tanzania there is resistance, reluctance and minimal use of electronic tax system because of insufficient end-user support and their involvement in constructing the system. Therefore, there is need to develop an electronic tax information system using socio-technical systems perspectives to ensure design of an efficient user-friendly tax administration system. The research used the qualitative approach, featuring case studies in Korea, Chile, Tanzania, and Denmark. The study used best practices from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to benchmark Tanzania Revenue Authority current practices. It was found that tax models implemented are techno-centric push models, which don’t attract its use by tax payers and requiring human intervention in its operation, hence not cost-effective. As the first and relevant phase in socio-technical system development, this paper presents the problem definition and analysis of e-Tax collection system in Tanzania.
