Have interventions been effective at increasing the rates of breastfeeding in the UK?
Authors: Shortis Elizabeth
Published: May 2019

Background

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life; however, UK breastfeeding rates are some of the lowest worldwide. As such, various interventions have been trialled, aiming to increase breastfeeding rates.

Aims

To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to increase breastfeeding rates in the UK and determine the features of successful interventions.

Methods

A literature search was performed, using four databases. The results were refined by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two additional articles were recognised by scanning the references sections of identified studies, resulting in 12 articles for review.

Findings

Support-based interventions had predominantly insignificant effects upon breastfeeding rates. Incentives were associated with increases in rates, while combined interventions had mixed success. The interventions were well received by mothers and clinicians and may help to normalise breastfeeding.

Conclusions

Future interventions should provide targeted, personalised support to overcome breastfeeding difficulties, and reward mothers for their efforts.

Pregnancy and diabetes: efforts by the multidisciplinary team
Authors: Todd Diane
Published: May 2019

Diabetes effects many pregnancies; some women may have existing type 1 or type 2 conditions or they may develop gestational diabetes. Practice nurses should be aware of the associated complications and the potential treatments their patients may be having.

Diabetes is an increasingly common condition observed in antenatal clinics. It describes not only those women with pre-existing diabetes, but also a significant number of women who develop diabetes during their pregnancy (gestational diabetes), which may resolves postnatally. These high-risk pregnancies are known to be associated with maternal, fetal and neonatal complications and require specialist care. This happy time in a woman’s life can also be one of anxiety and concern over their baby’s health. Having diabetes in pregnancy requires daily monitoring of blood glucose levels, adaptions to dietary intake, frequent hospital visits, additional ultrasound scans and the fear of the baby growing ‘too big’. This article describes the woman’s journey from pre-conception to postnatal care and the management, guidance and support offered by the multidisciplinary team, to keep her and her baby safe and achieve a successful pregnancy outcome.
Improving mental healthcare in multi-cultural communities
Authors: Morgan Ashley
Published: May 2019

Patients from marginalised or minority communities often experience health inequalities. Ashley Morgan explains how practice nurses are best placed to use their cultural competency skills to relieve these failings in primary care

Patients from marginalised or minority populations presenting with mental health problems in primary care often struggle to access appropriate and timely support. Communication problems, confusion among primary care professionals and inconsistent definitions of cultural competence contribute to prevailing health inequalities among these patient groups. Training to increase the cultural competence of the nursing workforce goes some way to reducing barriers to effective and appropriate care, although evidence suggests that training alone may be insufficient. This article explores the rationale for cultural competence and encourages practice nurses to develop a sense of cultural curiosity in order to engage with the mental health of their diverse patient population.
MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE IN GAS STATIONS
Authors: González Francisco , Pradenas Lorena
Published: May 2019

In developing countries, oil consumption corresponds to 56% of total energy consumption. This generates competition between supply points, which are gas stations. Given the scarce differentiation between these supply points and low margins for sales, the strategy adopted by these service stations depends on the correct identification of both external and internal factors. In the present study, six multi-criteria techniques and a “strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats” (SWOT) analysis are proposed to quantitatively evaluate the factors that affect a specific network of gas stations. A total of two sets of results are obtained and it was determined for the chosen set of analysis that the recommended alternative is the improvement of training for personnel and image of the brand. The factor with the greatest weight is the low operational risk of compliance with emergency regulations. The differences in the results cause some factors to be more important than others and the proposed implementation to be contrary to expectations. The contribution of this study is the analysis of the performance of different multi-criteria tools in an actual case using the same data source.
A NOVEL HESITANT INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY LINGUISTIC AHP METHOD AND ITS APPLICATION TO PRIORITIZATION OF INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES
Authors: Karasan Ali
Published: May 2019

Intuitionistic fuzzy extensions are the most used type of fuzzy extensions in the literature since they better represent decision makers strength of commitment on the considered subject in an effective way including membership and non-membership functions. On the other hand, decision makers may assign more than one intuitionistic fuzzy number in order to capture their hesitancies when they are hesitant in assigning a membership degree and a non-membership degree. Hesitant fuzzy sets, another extension of ordinary fuzzy sets, help decision makers to assign different values on the same element aiming at reflexing decision makers’ hesitation. Utilizing these two types of fuzzy sets capture both uncertainty and ambiguity of the considered problem and helps to eliminate the weaknesses of each fuzzy extension. In this study,hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic sets (HIFLSs) are used to extend the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The developed method is applied to investment prioritization problem, based on relevant risk factors. Comparative analyses with intuitionistic fuzzy AHP and hesitant fuzzy AHP methods are realized in order to validate the proposed method. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted for the stability of the results of the hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic AHP method.

Fashion vs style: The repudiation of fashion in online menswear communities
Authors: Weiner Nathaniel
Published: May 2019

Members of online menswear communities spend their leisure time engaged in extensive textual discussions of menswear. This article presents some of the findings from a study of these online menswear communities. It is based on an online ethnography of six online menswear forums and 50 in-depth interviews with men from Britain, Canada and the United States who use them. It details how the research participants, despite their passion for clothing, produced a rhetorical distance between style and fashion. Fashion was rejected in favour of what was described as ‘classic menswear’, ‘style’, ‘timeless style’ or simply ‘clothes’. This was a productive critique of fashion’s temporality, with online menswear communities offering a more democratic, inclusive and participatory alternative to men’s fashion. However, this rejection of fashion also reflected the persistent gendering of fashion. As spaces for the discussion of clothing, as opposed to fashion, online menswear communities allowed men to enjoy clothes and consumption without their masculinity being tainted by fashion’s associations with femininity.
The emergence of French Vogue: French identity and visual culture in the fashion press, 1920–40
Authors: Kurkdjian Sophie
Published: May 2019

This article, located at the crossroads where press culture meets corporate history, analyses the functional collaboration of two magazines within the same publishing house – American Vogue (1892) and French Vogue (1920) – through the analysis of unpublished private archives. It explores for the first time, through the case of fashion illustration, the scope and nature of their agreements and divergences in order to understand the way that French Vogue won the freedom to pursue its own format and editorial objectives during the 1930s. The combined history of these two editions is also part of a second narrative, whose elements are stylistic and aesthetic – that is, the evolution from Pictorialism to modernism – and technical – that is, the transition from drawing to photography, as part of the internationalization of press practices. By focusing on the conflict between American and French Vogues in their approach to fashion illustration, this article illuminates those competing visions. The editors of American Vogue incorporated illustrations into their broadly commercial conceptualization of the fashion magazine. On the contrary, the editors of French Vogue saw their illustrations principally as art, as a reflection of the creativity of the couturiers.
Media
Authors: Pires Edmundo Balsemão
Published: May 2019

Devido à sua adoção no Inglês, as línguas nacionais divulgaram o termo de proveniência latina medium e o seu plural media para designar formas simbólicas e materiais de comunicação da sociedade moderna. O uso do termo no plural é recente e também a atenção teórica que despertou. É sob “Teoria dos Media”, “Filosofia dos Media”, “Filosofia dos novos Media”, etc. que a investigação empírica e teórica se tem desenvolvido nas últimas décadas em uma variedade de disciplinas e encruzilhadas disciplinares. O termo inglês sobrepõe‑se ao latino e assim desperta antigos ecos. Nas outras línguas nacionais a potenciação destas ressonâncias interlinguísticas poderá não ser a mesma, como acontece no Inglês. No entanto, em media o cruzamento do Inglês e do Latim revela acerca do termo aquilo que teoricamente e do ponto de vista semântico é necessário ter em conta, a saber ‑a mediação. Os termos medium e media não definem objetos isoláveis nos seus predicados materiais, mas, antes, uma polimorfia material na mediação, que está aí, no mundo da perceção, enquanto forma e/ou reproduz comunicação. Ao mesmo tempo que parecem designar formas da perceção, os media não são corpos ou organismos nem estados psíquicos. O presente trabalho dá conta dos problemas suscitados pelos nexos entre comunicação, perceção e técnica nos media, identifica a herança clássica nas Filosofias da Técnica e as viragens modernas. É uma reflexão meta‑teórica sobre teoria dos media.
“A doutrina da ciência nos seus contornos gerais. Exposto por J. G. Fichte”. Tradução e comentário
Authors: Ferraguto Federico
Published: May 2019

O texto consiste na primeira tradução em português da lição final do curso sobre a doutrina da ciência (Wissenschaftslehre) que J.G. Fichte ministra no semestre de inverno de 1810, na recém fundada Universidade de Berlim, e é o único texto dedicado à doutrina da ciência in specie que Fichte publica após a Fundação da doutrina da ciência, nas suas duas edições de 1794 e de 1802. O comentário anexo à tradução apresenta de modo sintético e argumentado os pontos mais significativos do texto fichteano: a concepção do saber na perspectiva da doutrina da ciência (§ 1); o contexto histórico em que o pensamento do Fichte tardio se coloca (§ 2); a relação entre esquema, capacidade e lei, conceitos básicos para entender o percurso argumentativo das exposições da doutrina da ciência a partir de 1810 e as implicações teoréticas (§ 4) e praticas (§ 5) da perspectiva assumida nestas exposições. A dedução completa das determinações prático‑ teoréticas do saber no espaço aberto pela doutrina da ciência permite, por fim, uma reflexão sobre a transformação do saber em sabedoria, autentico objetivo da Wissenschaftslehre fichteana.
Vallásváltoztatás és szociológia
Authors: Nagy Péter Tibor
Published: May 2019

A tanulmány a családtól örökölt vallás megváltoztatásának társadalmi törvényszerűségeivel foglalkozik. A jelenség jelentése és súlya történelmi időben és térben nagyon különböző, ahogy ezt az egész világból vett példák mutatják. A tanulmány sorra veszi azokat a tudásszociológiailag megragadható motívumokat, melyek a domináns vagy többségi vallások választása mellett szólnak, de azokat a részben hálózatelméleti megfontolásokat is, amelyek a kisebbségi vallások növekedését segítik. A tanulmány előszámlálja azokat a racionalizálható okokat is, amelyek ahhoz vezetnek, hogy a mai Magyarországon a katolikusnak és a reformátusnak bejegyzettek egyaránt 30%-ban választják jelenlegi státuszukként a „nem tartozik felekezethez” jelzőt, az evangélikusoknál ez 37%. Az ellenirányú folyamat is sokkal jelentősebb, mint amit a szekularizációs hipotézis alapján általában gondolhatnánk: a nem bejegyzettek 19%-a valamilyen felekezetet már jelenlegi felekezetként megnevezett. A katolikusok 1%-a, a reformátusoknak viszont 4%-a, az evangélikusoknak pedig 9%-a mozdult el egy másik vallás irányába. A választott vallás részesedése mintegy fordított arányban van az öröklött vallásukat követők körében mutatott erősorrenddel, mert 38%-kal a kisegyházak vezetnek. A célcsoportban 34%-kal vesznek részt a katolikusok és 24%-kal a reformátusok – ez a reformátusok felülreprezentációját jelzi. A mindössze 2%-nyi evangélikus a történelmi nagyokhoz képest alulreprezentált.

Abstract: Dom Casmurro was published for the first time in 1899 by the writer Machado de Assis. This novel, since that time, causes doubts and uncertainties in his readers about the fidelity of the character Capitu and the veracity of the information narrated by Bentinho. Therefore, a brief description of the narrative of this enigmatic Brazilian book is necessary. We seek to analyze the descriptions about the psychic suffering of the character of Bentinho and his narrowing with the pathological jealousy. This article followed a method of documentary analysis, using, in addition to the masterpiece of Machado de Assis, bibliographic studies related to the research theme. Moreover, we include a brief history and theoretical foundation on psychic pain and pathological jealousy. We highlight as a latent difficulty, the reduced number of researches in this methodological line that could contribute to the inferences about the Machado de Assis’s literary work.   Keywords: Dom Casmurro, Machado de Assis, Literature, Psychology

Every pain result from a process of rupturing a hemostasis. After this fragmentation, the “I” enters a waiting process, followed, consequently, by an eminent psychic pain. The pain process differs from conventional pain because it depends of an organic pathological mechanism, generating pain that can’t be located, qualified or timed. This way, Florbela Espanca in her sonnet “I…” reveals indications that she suffers of psychic pain. We seek to analyze the descriptions about the suffering of Florbela Espanca in her sonnet "I ...", associating to the psychosocial representation of women in her work and in the Portuguese society of the twentieth century. This article followed a method of documentary analysis, using, in addition to the masterpiece of Florbela Espanca, bibliographic studies related to the theme. Moreover, we include a brief background and theoretical foundation on psychic pain and the work under analysis. We highlight as a latent difficulty the reduced number of researches in this methodological line that could contribute to the inferences about the Florbela Espanca’s literary work. The sonnet "I ..." indicates that the poet faced "pathological grief ". A process of pain occasioned by the rupture of the death. In the authors’ life, runs in many scenarios, physically, through the death of her beloved ones, and through the death of her lost loves.
Avaliação da resistência e da deformação resiliente de quatro solos de subleitos rodoviários no estado do Rio Grande do Sul

Published: May 2019

O presente artigo apresenta o estudo do comportamento de quatro solos com origens geológicas diferentes, quanto à sua resistência e deformação resiliente, comumente empregados em subleitos rodoviários no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A metodologia aplicada consistiu em ensaios de caracterização física e mecânica, obtenção da curva característica dos solos, além de simulações numéricas assistidas por dois programas computacionais: AEMC e AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design. Os resultados indicaram que os limites descritos em norma para utilização dos solos como material de subleito foram satisfeitos. Verificou-se que uma variação de ± 2% no teor de umidade provocou considerável alteração na resistência desses materiais, evidenciando a influência da sucção na resistência ao cisalhamento dos solos. As análises mecanicistas permitiram constatar a limitação do método de dimensionamento do DNIT, principalmente no que tange à ruptura por fadiga, além de destacar a importância do módulo de resiliência no comportamento da estrutura como um todo.

Published: May 2019

Com o aumento da atenção ao transporte não-motorizado, a modelagem do tráfego de pedestres em travessias urbanas tem sido tema crescente na literatura. Uma das principais medidas de desempenho utilizadas para avaliar o desempenho operacional de travessias é o atraso, que é definido como o tempo de espera dos pedestres para iniciar a travessia. Duas das principais ferramentas de modelagem para estimar o atraso médio dos pedestres são o Highway Capacity Manual - HCM e software de simulação, como o VISSIM. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é comparar essas duas ferramentas para estimação do atraso médio de pedestres em travessias semaforizadas. Para isto, foram analisadas duas travessias de uma interseção localizada na cidade de Fortaleza. Concluiu-se que, quanto maior for a quantidade de brechas aceitas pelos pedestres durante o vermelho, mais realista será a modelagem realizada com o VISSIM em comparação com a proposta pelo HCM, já que a modelagem proposta para o simulador considera este tipo de comportamento dos pedestres.
Safevîler Devrinde Şiîliğin Yayılmasında Tasavvufun Rolü: Tasavvuf Tarihi Açısından Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Gökbulut Süleyman
Published: May 2019

Şiîlik ile tasavvuf arasındaki ilişki karmaşık bir yapı arz etmektedir. Ortak şahıslara ve kavramsal dünyalara sahip olan bu iki yol neredeyse aynı zamanlarda ortaya çıkmış ve gelişme kaydetmiştir. Fakat tasavvuf kendisini başlangıçtan itibaren Sünnî bir paradigmaya dayandırdığı için Şiîliğin ona bakışı genellikle menfî olmuştur. İmamlardan sûfîler aleyhine aktarılan bazı rivayetler bu düşmanlığı daha da arttırmıştır. Seyyid Haydar Âmülî gibi Şiîlik ile tasavvuf arasını telif etmeye çalışan bazı âlimler çıksa da tarih boyunca bu olumsuz tavırda pek yumuşama meydana gelmemiştir. Bilindiği üzere Safevîlerin tarih sahnesine çıkışıyla birlikte On İki İmam Şiîliği resmî bir hüviyete kavuşmuştur. Bazı araştırmacılar Safevîlerin bu mezhebi yaymasında ve halkın Sünnîlikten Şiîliğe geçişinde tasavvufun önemli bir rol oynadığını öne sürmüşlerdir. Kanaatimizce tarihin belirli bir kesitine odaklanan bu görüş bazı abartıları ve eksiklikleri içermektedir. Bu makalenin temel amacı Safevîlerin Şiîliği yaymasında tasavvuf ve tarîkatların etkisinin bulunup bulunmadığını tarihî süreci dikkate alarak anlamaya çalışmaktır.

Les réponses syndicales au précariat
Authors: Scalvinoni Benoît
Published: May 2019

Si la France est marquée par une précarisation et une dualisation tendancielles de l’emploi, plusieurs projets de réforme ont cherché, à partir des années 2000, à redéfinir l’équilibrage entre la flexibilité de l’emploi et la sécurité des travailleurs. Des organisations syndicales, la CGT et la CFDT, ont également porté des revendications en la matière, soutenant respectivement un nouveau statut du travail salarié et une sécurisation des parcours professionnels. Basée sur une étude de la presse syndicale, cette contribution démontrera que la première intervention syndicale promeut le maintien de la qualification de l’individu dans ou en dehors de l’emploi alors que la seconde soutient son employabilité.

Absolute Capitalism
Authors: Foster John
Published: May 2019

Although neoliberalism is widely recognized as the central political-ideological project of twenty-first-century capitalism, it is a term that is seldom uttered by those in power. Behind this particular ruse lies a deeply disturbing, even hellish, reality. Neoliberalism can be defined as an integrated ruling-class political-ideological project, associated with the rise of monopoly-finance capital, the principal strategic aim of which is to embed the state in capitalist market relations. Hence, the state's traditional role in safeguarding social reproduction—if largely on capitalist-class terms—is now reduced solely to one of promoting capitalist reproduction. The goal is nothing less than the creation of an absolute capitalism. All of this serves to heighten the extreme human and ecological destructiveness that characterizes our time.

Unionizing the World's Largest Slaughterhouse
Authors: Hall Russell
Published: May 2019

Capitalism has many victims, but few fare as badly as slaughterhouse workers. Every day, meatpacking workers risk life and limb to provide cheap meat for consumers. Despite this, political scientist Timothy Pachirat once described slaughterhouse work as a form of labor "considered morally and physically repellent by the vast majority of society that is sequestered from view rather than eliminated or transformed." Yet, slaughterhouses are the sites of some of labor's greatest triumphs. Lynn Waltz documents one such triumph in her book Hog Wild, which describes how meatpacking workers successfully established a union at the Tar Heel slaughterhouse in North Carolina. While Waltz focuses on the particular fight at the Tar Heel plant, the unionization success of the workers there provides important lessons for future labor struggles.

This research is a validation study of a survey instrument to assess student self-regulation which aims to fill a methodological gap by capturing self-regulation processes while completing learner-generated digital media (LGDM) assignments. For this purpose, the study developed and validated a self-regulation learning questionnaire. Data were gathered from seven science subjects (Years 1 to 3, n = 341) which used LGDM assignments during Semester 1, 2017. Students were asked to complete a 40-item online questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered at three times during the semester (Weeks 2, 6, and 10). Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify factor structures, followed by confirmatory factor analysis to test the validity of the constructs defined by exploratory factor analysis. Analysis of the data revealed a ten-factor structure – six concerning self-regulation, two concerning student attitudes towards LGDM assignments, one concerning assignment ownership, and one concerning assignment motivation. The variables empirically verified in this study have important practical implications, as they could provide educators with the direction in which to target interventions to improve learners’ experiences with LDGM. The study findings also contribute to the field by providing scholars with a validated research instrument that can be used in future studies.
A EXTENSÃO COMO SUPRIMENTO DE NECESSIDADES: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A RELAÇÃO DAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR E DA EXTENSÃO COM O MACROAMBIENTE
Authors: Oliveira Erinaldo Silva , Nascimento-e-Silva Daniel
Published: May 2019

O presente ensaio teórico busca refletir sobre os objetivos e a conceituação de uma prática extensionista. Também busca refletir sobre o ensino e a extensão entendidos como suprimentos de necessidades.  Sendo um recorte da pesquisa de trabalho de conclusão de curso em andamento “Criação de um portfólio de cursos de extensão para suprimento das necessidades do ambiente de atuação da Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará Campus Itaituba”. Trazendo uma análise sobre as funções de suprimento de necessidades ambientais das instituições de ensino e da prática extensionista. As reflexões permitem constatar: 1) a importância das instituições de ensino para com o desenvolvimento do ambiente no qual estas se encontram; 2) a extensão universitária é o espaço acadêmico de formação social e científico que visa o desenvolvimento de novos conhecimentos profissionais para a transformação da sociedade. A contribuição deste estudo para a área da extensão se dá em dois aspectos: primeiro porque permite uma discussão e a tentativa de trazer novas definições sobre a prática extensionista e segundo porque apresenta uma nova cultura ambiental para a universidade, a atuação participativa.

O diagnóstico socioambiental e produtivo de pecuaristas familiares é imprescindível para implementação de ações de extensão. Nesta perspectiva, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o perfil dos pecuaristas familiares de uma localidade da campanha gaúcha no município de Dom Pedrito para a implementação de ações extensionistas. Para isso, foi aplicado questionário diagnóstico que considerou questões sociais, produtivas e ambientais. A aplicação do questionário foi realizada por meio de visitas da equipe executora a propriedade familiar. Dos respondentes somente um não possui propriedade constituída por campo nativo para produção de proteína animal. A falta de infraestrutura básica foi percebida em algumas propriedades pela falta de energia elétrica (n=2) e água tratada (n=5). Além disso, verificou-se que a localidade ainda apresenta a predominância de indivíduos com idade superior a 50 anos. O diálogo durante as visitas permitiu o acompanhamento de cada propriedade, possibilitando possíveis ações para cada sistema de produção familiar. Com a sumarização dos diagnósticos criou-se, na comunidade, uma unidade de teste e demonstração com adequado manejo do campo nativo. Por fim, o diálogo com os pecuaristas familiares evidenciou que eles estão desatendidos quanto a implementação de políticas públicas, ocasionando a saída da juventude rural para a cidade em busca de melhores condições de vida.

O projeto de extensão “Diálogos e Vivências em Química de Alimentos” compreende diversas ações que visam facilitar o contato entre a academia e a comunidade, além de estimular a participação dos alunos em atividades inerentes a sua futura área de atuação. Objetivou-se neste trabalho relatar as atividades desenvolvidas dentro do projeto visando estimular a utlização da soja na alimentação, bem como abordar a importância da vivência em extensão na formação discente. As ações realizadas incluíram palestras, oficinas, cursos, elaboração de material didático e de vídeos televisivos acerca da temática soja (com destaque à soja convencional), das quais participaram acadêmicos, docentes, profissionais das mais diversas áreas, agricultores e comunidade em geral. Tais ações permitiram aproximação entre a universidade representada pelo curso de Bacharelado em Química de Alimentos e a sociedade, mediante o estímulo do consumo do grão e sua introdução no dia a dia, visando melhorias na qualidade de vida e a possibilidade de retorno financeiro a partir da comercialização de produtos com soja. Pontua-se as atividades voltadas aos pequenos agricultores produtores de soja convencional. A participação dos discentes possibilitou o aprendizado no tema, estimulou o senso crítico, pró-atividade e criatividade, aspectos importantes para que os mesmos ingressem no mercado de forma mais integra e autônoma; além de despertar o comprometimento social.
Beneficências Portuguesas no Rio Grande do Sul: de hospitais à associações promotoras da identidade lusa
Authors: Chaves Larissa Patron
Published: May 2019

O trabalho recupera aspectos da história das Sociedades Portuguesas de Beneficência do Rio Grande do Sul na segunda metade do século XIX, especificamente nas cidades de Porto Alegre, Pelotas, Rio Grande e Bagé, e suaimportância enquanto suporte assistencial, social e cultural em face ao fenômeno da imigração portuguesa para o Brasil durante o período. A Sociedade Portuguesa de Beneficência é uma instituição hospitalar criada por imigrantes portugueses no Brasil e no mundo colonial português, dependente do pagamento e de doações advindas, normalmente, dos seus associados. Na Província, as funções primordiais das beneficências pautavam-se pela promoção da representação pública dos imigrantes como indivíduos de boa educação e cultura, e também na promoção à devoção régia da monarquia portuguesa, o que revela relações simbólicas de poder, que atravessam o funcionamento dessas instituições. Neste sentido, o estudo analisa como o apoio e a proteção das Sociedades aos imigrantes e população em geral ultrapassara a função primordial de hospital para agregar questões de identidade e memória lusa no movimento à lusofonia.
A musealização de um passado ambíguo: O caso dos lugares de isolamento compulsório, entre afetos privados e a transmissão de uma memória heroica da saúde

Published: May 2019

A transmissão do passado está condicionada à criação de  dispositivos memoriais que estruturam as memórias na forma de narrativas. Assim, quando as memórias são investidas de valor patrimonial, migram do universo individual para o espaço público. Entretanto, devido ao aspecto delicado de algumas memórias, defrontamo-nos com um dilema situado entre o compromisso ético de seu reconhecimento e as formas de transmissão do passado, que pode ser incômodo. Discutiremos o reconhecimento patrimonial de lugares marcados por memórias difíceis: as antigas colônias de isolamento sanitário, criadas para o isolamento da lepra. Para isso, tomaremos como estudo de caso o Hospital-Colônia Itapuã (RS). Analisaremos o modo como as memórias do lugar são acionadas pelo dispositivo de memória criado no hospital e qual a opinião dos antigos moradores sobre esses dispositivos.

“Shared Ethnicity” in Transracial Adoption
Authors: Verschelden Cia
Published: May 2019

The discussion of transracial adoption of black infants by white parents calls into question the distinction between race and ethnicity for these children and their families. Research on the overall success of these adoption indicate that most of the children are well-adjusted, have healthy self esteem, and do not have problems with issues of racial identity. This paper suggest that the concept of “shared ethnicity” might be useful construction for understanding these multiracial families.
