Published: December 2023

Background
The global increase in human life expectancy is evident. The total number of individuals aged 60 or above is anticipated to reach 2 billion by 2050. Aging, an inherently complex process, manifests prominently in the changes observed in the immune system. A notable marker of immune system aging is the presence of Aging-Related Immune Cell Phenotypes (ARIPs). Despite their significance, the connections between various ARIPs and mortality have not been thoroughly investigated. We prospectively investigated 16 different ARIPs using flow cytometry, namely, CD4/CD8 ratio, Granzyme B + CD8/Granyzme B + CD4, TN/TM = Tn / (Teff + Tem + Tcm) for TN/TM CD4 + and TN/TM CD8 + ratios, Th17/CD4 + Treg, Tc17/CD8 + Treg, Th17, Tc17, CD4 + Temra, CD8 + Temra, CD4 + CD25 + FoxP3+ (CD4 + Treg), CD8 + CD25 + FoxP3+ (CD8 + Treg) CD4 + CD27-, CD4 + CD28-CD27-, CD8 + CD27-, CD8 + CD28-CD27- and IL-6 in relation to survival outcome among dementia-free Framingham Heart Study (FHS) offspring cohort participants who attended the seventh exam (1998–2001).
Results
Among 996 participants (mean age 62 years, range 40 to 88 years, 52% female), the survival rate was 65% during 19 years of follow-up. For the model adjusting for age, sex, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus, higher CD4/CD8 and Tc17/CD8 + Treg ratios were significantly associated with lower all-cause mortality (HR:0.86 [0.76–0.96], 0.84 [0.74–0.94], respectively) and higher CD8 regulatory cell levels (CD8 + CD25 + FoxP3+) were associated with higher all-cause mortality (HR = 1.17, [1.03–1.32]). Higher IL-6 levels were associated with higher all-cause, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular mortality (HR = 1.43 [1.26–1.62], 1.70 [1.31–2.21], and 1.36 [1.18–1.57], respectively).

Authors: Zhang Xuemei , Vinatzer Boris A. , Li Song
Published: December 2023

Recent advancements in hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for early disease detection have shown promising results, yet there is a lack of HSI data representing the responses of plants at different disease stages as measured by in planta pathogen density. To address this question, we used bacterial leaf spot of tomato as a model and collected hyperspectral images and in planta pathogen populations for seven days. Machine learning models were trained using data from leaf-level full spectra, vegetation index (VI), and pixel-level full spectra at four disease stages. The results suggest that HSI can detect tomato foliar disease at pre-symptomatic stages and differentiate bacterial disease spots from abiotic leaf spots. Using VI data as features for machine learning improved overall classification performance by 26-37% as compared to the direct use of raw data. Critical wavelength bands and VIs varied across disease progression stages, suggesting that pre-symptomatic disease detection relied more on changes in leaf water content and plant defense responses rather than changes in leaf pigments or internal structure, which are crucial during symptomatic stages. In conclusion, this study reveals the potential benefits of leaf structure segmentation and VI group pattern analysis in using HSI for the early detection of leaf diseases.

Published: December 2023

Background Preconception health has the potential to improve parental, pregnancy and infant outcomes. This scoping review aims to (1) provide an overview of the strategies, policies, guidelines, frameworks, and recommendations available in the UK and Ireland that address preconception health and care, identifying common approaches and health-influencing factors that are targeted; and (2) conduct an audit to explore the awareness and use of resources found in the scoping review amongst healthcare professionals, to validate and contextualise findings relevant to Northern Ireland.Methods Grey literature resources were identified through Google Advanced Search, NICE, OpenAire, ProQuest and relevant public health and government websites. Resources were included if published, reviewed, or updated between January 2011 and May 2022. Data were extracted into Excel and coded using NVivo. The review design included the involvement of the “Healthy Reproductive Years” Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement advisory panel.Results The searches identified 273 resources, and a subsequent audit with healthcare professionals in Northern Ireland revealed five additional preconception health-related resources. A wide range of resource types were identified, and preconception health was often not the only focus of the resources reviewed. Resources proposed approaches to improve preconception health and care, such as the need for improved awareness and access to care, preconceptual counselling, multidisciplinary collaborations, and the adoption of a life-course approach. Many behavioural (e.g., folic acid intake, smoking), biomedical (e.g., mental and physical health conditions), and environmental and social (e.g., deprivation) factors were identified and addressed in the resources reviewed. In particular, pre-existing physical health conditions were frequently mentioned, with fewer resources addressing psychological factors and mental health. Overall, there was a greater focus on women’s, rather than men’s, behaviours.Conclusions This scoping review synthesised existing resources available in the UK and Ireland to identify a wide range of common approaches and factors that influence preconception health and care. Efforts are needed to implement the identified resources (e.g., strategies, guidelines) to support people of childbearing age to access preconception care and optimise their preconception health.

Published: December 2023

The main objective of this study was to compare students’ face-to-face and online peer assessment grades. In the first phase of the study, each student presented their work within a traditional classroom setting. The other students and the instructor provided grades based on a predefined rubric. In the second phase of the study, the same students presented their work within the same traditional classroom setting, however this time students and the instructor provided grades with their smartphones through a Web 2.0 tool. The study used student grades as the independent variable and grading method (face-to-face and online) as the dependent variable. Students’ peer assessments were also compared with the instructor’s grades to see in which assessment environment students gave instructor-like grades. Several paired t-tests were computed to compare groups. The results indicated that the students’ grades in face-to-face format was significantly higher than the students’ grades in online setting as well as the instructor’s face to face grades. In contrast, students provided instructor-like grades in online peer assessment setting. The study concluded that students give higher grades in face-to-face assessment setting. The most likely reason for this result is the peer pressure that exists in traditional classroom environment character.

Published: December 2023

Thе article examines an important sociocultural aspect of the linguistic concept DEATH through the prism of monumental art. It examines how this concept is reflected in various art forms, such as sculpture, painting, and other media forms. Special attention is paid to the transmedia approach, which allows analyzing the concept of DEATH through different artistic languages and understanding how art affects the perpetuation of memory and common cultural heritage. Scientific intelligence is based on an associative experiment, which proves the importance for respondents to remain in people`s memory. The study reveals how monumental art reflects the socio-cultural dimension of the concept of DEATH and how it affects our understanding and reproduction of this mysterious subject in the modern world. The analysis traces the development of various images and symbols of death in art, which contributes to a better understanding of changes in the perception of this concept throughout history. The article highlights the importance of art in creating shared cultural heritage and memory, and how monumental art serves as a medium to express our attitudes towards life and death. It encourages readers to think about how art can influence our worldview and contribute to the memory of those we have lost, as well as how this theme has evolved in contemporary art and society in general. The article is designed to expand the understanding of the importance of art in perpetuating memory and common cultural heritage, as well as shed light on how monumental art affects our perception of the concept of DEATH and affects our lives in this context. The research was carried out within the framework of the scientific project of NFRU 2022.01/0073 “Digital archiving of monuments as objects of public memorialization for the preservation of the cultural heritage of Ukraine”.

Published: December 2023

Revenue recognition is a very complex area due to user interest in this metric and can even lead to errors and fraud in its understanding. The difficulties of revenue recognition are well known to practitioners because, even if the principles and standards are stable, economic conditions may require new experiences, adaptive knowledge, and flexibility. Therefore, thinking about how to apply the new IFRS 15 standard is more important than ever as the transition to the new standard takes place. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the way external auditors understand how implementing IFRS 15 will probably affect business performance and profitability, and to identify the main problems and obstacles that could come up during that process. In this sense, a quantitative study was conducted using a survey of auditors working for Big Four companies during 2021–2022. To address these problematic aspects of revenue disclosure under the standard, the study’s findings look into how external auditors perceive the complexity of IFRS 15, the openness of their professional judgment, and the anticipated advantages of engagement activities. In addition, the literature review identified business sectors that demonstrated a significant impact on revenue recognition as a result of the implementation of IFRS 15.

The work develops a universal approach to acounting for imperfect contacts in determining the effective properties of various nature, namely, effective diffusivity, thermal and electrical conductivity. Imperfect contacts take place when fields at the microlevel are not continuous. The possibility of creating a unified approach is due to the similarity of the governing equations. At the same time, the appearance of imperfect contacts can be caused by microstructural features and by the specifics of the process itself. For concreteness, the effective diffusion permeability is determined, since various reasons for the appearance of imperfect contacts can be considered. The reasons can be associated both with the formation of structural defects and with the presence of the specific segregation effect. The paper generalizes and compares two approaches to accounting for imperfect contacts. In the first case, a field jump is set. In the second case, an inhomogeneity with a thin coating possessing extreme properties is introduced. A comprehensive analysis is carried out on the example of a material with spherical inhomogeneities. Analytical expressions for contribution tensor of the equivalent inhomogeneity are obtained, which results in simplification of generalization of various homogenization methods.

The review presents the models on a change in the stress-strain state of the eye shell after vision correction operations and a change in intraocular pressure with the introduction of drugs into the vitreous body. All mathematical models were developed in collaboration with ophthalmologists. Mathematical models that describe the process of determining the true intraocular pressure (IOP) by applanation methods are discussed. New results in solid mechanics were obtained while studying ocular biomechanics problems. For example, the problem of the stability of a spherical shell subjected to a concentrated force and internal pressure was solved and the stability of the axisymmetric equilibrium state of annular inhomogeneous orthotropic plates under normal pressure was studied. The stress-strain states of transversely isotropic spherical and cylindrical layers subjected to internal and external pressures are discussed and the solutions obtained in the framework of the three-dimensional theory are compared with the solutions obtained by non-classical shell theories. This comparison made it possible to assess the accuracy of approximate theories.

Published: December 2023

Sci-fi literature has become an important genre that explores and reflects on the societal anxieties, ethical quandaries, and existential threats concerning the trajectory of AI advancements, possibilities, and consequences of AI technologies. The objective of this article is to highlight the intersection of architectural space and artificial intelligence in Arkady Martine’s sci-fi novella Rose House (2023). A critical reading of Martine’s text reveals the poetics of space juxtaposed with the issues and complexities of artificial intelligence that unfolds new paradigms in which the relationship between people and place, space and being, the binaries of human and the non-human (AI) can be contemplated within a posthumanist framework of Rosi Braidotti and Heidegger’s notion of being. Moreover, the article utilizes the ideas of space syntax theory, and Henri Lefebvre’s ideas of space to analyze how spatial configurations (real and imagined) have an impact on human behaviour and actions in shaping space while interacting with artificial intelligence within the spatial dimensions of a house.

Published: December 2023

Recently, ChatGPT has been upgraded to its newer version for its unsubscribed users – ChatGPT 3.5. Though ChatGPT has become an astonishing phenomenon all over the world for creating realistic texts within seconds, it can disseminate wrong information and misconceptions. Technical experts have identified this problem as hallucination. This paper has examined ChatGPT’s ability to differentiate between correct and incorrect relations in the questions that are set to it. It has also explored the efficacy of ChatGPT in helping students acquire linguistic and literary proficiency. The study took the form of exploratory interpretive research. The participants of the research study were students studying English at the undergraduate level. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, FGDs, and input provided to ChatGPT. All data were analyzed qualitatively. The findings of this research indicate that ChatGPT tends to provide inconsistent information when a series of contextual questions are asked. Because of this hallucination, ChatGPT becomes an unreliable source for language and literature learning.
Troping Identity in Arkady Martine’s Space Opera: From Historical Realism to Quantum Anthropomorphization
Authors:   Alba Iulia University, Romania, Tupan Maria-Ana
Published: December 2023

Rosi Braidotti’s theory of “nomadic subject” (2011) has shifted the focus from traveller in the literal sense of the word to subject as a process; becoming subject entails a denial of universals in the construction of identity which is redefined as situated embodiment in the world, open to the heteronormativity of changing social codes and accepted modes of living or of conceiving otherness. Nevertheless, travel has always been associated with an explicit ethos, whether as a pious pilgrimage, educational world tour or the grand narrative of civilizing mission. Located on various maps, real or imaginary, civilizations are brought into contact by the huge number of migrants, the problems they raise including the relationship between third worlds and metropolitan cities/ countries, the migrants’ othering by mainstream populations, the migrants’ desire to be naturalised and the estrangement from their true selves as a result. By building simulation models, speculative fiction probes deeply into underground concerns which well up to the surface in postcolonial literature, being expected to produce cognitive enlightenment. Relieved from the material deprivations of the colonial past, the postcolonial subject is now caught in the process of identitarian reconstruction.

Published: December 2023

With the increasing frequency of extreme convective weather, the spatial–temporal variability of rainfall becomes more diversified. As a result of the insufficient quality of rainfall monitoring data in mountainous areas, the flash flood simulation usually does not consider the effect of the rainfall center location. In this work, the GPU Accelerated Surface Water Flow and Associated Transport hydrodynamic model is used to simulate the flash flood discharge process. The effect of the rainfall center location and the basin scale on the discharge process were analyzed based on simulated data. The results show that when the rainfall center is in the upstream and midstream basins, because of gravitational potential energy conversion, the total flood volume and the flood peak discharge increase to 2–10 times, and the peak time of flash flood caused by 100 mm rainfall amount can be advanced by up to 3,000 s compared to the 20 mm rainfall amount condition. The peak discharge and the delay of peak time increase with the increase of rain peak coefficient. In addition, the increase of the basin area enhances the effect of the rainfall center location. This work is helpful to quantify the effect of the rainfall center location, which can clarify the uncertainty of flash flood simulation caused by not considering the rainfall center factor.

Published: December 2023

The volume capture ratio of annual rainfall (VCRAR) of low-impact development measures is significantly influenced by its operating characteristics, particularly for residential stormwater detention tanks (SWDTs). The multi-objective operation strategy of SWDTs, encompassing toilet flushing (TF), green space irrigation (GSI), combined TF and GSI (TF-GSI), and peak flow reduction (PFR) rate, were compared using a case study in Beijing based on the stormwater management model. The findings indicate that the VCRAR for TF, GSI, and TF-GSI rainwater harvesting targets was 89.05, 77.16, and 91.21%, respectively. The operating scheme and return periods have a significant impact on the PFR rate's effectiveness. When the return period was lower than 10 years, the SWDT does not reach its maximum storage capacity, and the PFR rate was increased with increasing the return period: the PFR rate was 71.47% when the design return period was 10 years. It will also produce the phenomena of water inrush, and the overflow volume will grow rapidly when the SWDT reaches its maximum storage capacity. Hence, the operation of SWDTs may be integrated with real-time control to optimize the VCRAR for rainwater reuse and flood migration, thereby enhancing the volume utilization efficiency of SWDTs.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Autonomic control of the heart is exerted by the neurocardiac axis, which comprises reflexes at three levels of cardiac activity: central (higher structures of the forebrain, brainstem, and spinal cord), intrathoracic extracardiac (stellate and dorsal root ganglia), and intracardiac. Neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) (ganglion plexus ablation, epicardial drug infusion for temporary neurotoxicity, low-level vagus nerve stimulation, stellate ganglion blockade, baroreceptor stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, renal and pulmonary artery nerve fiber denervation) is a new therapeutic approach for managing heart rhythm disorders and cardiovascular pathologies. Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in up to 30% of patients after open cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the long-term follow-up. Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the different neuromodulation approaches for preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in clinical and experimental settings.Conclusion: ANS neuromodulation techniques have demonstrated high efficacy and safety for preventing POAF.

La dimensión ecológica de la piedad popular. Indicios teológico-especulativos a partir de la propuesta de una ecología integral del magisterio de Francisco
Authors: Rojas Contreras Franco Nicolás
Published: December 2023

La presente investigación busca indagar el vínculo íntimo de la piedad popular y la dimensión ecológica, a partir de la propuesta de una ecología integral basada en el magisterio de Francisco. La hipótesis es que dicha propuesta ha de potenciar y renovar la dimensión ecológica de la piedad popular, en vistas a los desafíos de la crisis socioambiental. El análisis de la presente investigación prescinde de un abordaje empírico, estético y/o sociológico del fenóemno de la piedad popular. Más bien, el modo de acercamiento es teológico-especulativo, con el fin de sonsacar aquellos indicios teológicos que podrían fortalecer la relación ecológica entre la fe cristiano-católica y la Tierra como casa común, mediante los ejercicios de piedad popular, festividades religiosas, entre otras.
Solidaridad con la iglesia de América Latina: Los orígenes históricos del nacimiento de Adveniat (1961-1965)
Authors: Fernando Paulo
Published: December 2023

En vísperas del Segundo Concilio Vaticano (1963-1965), se organizaron una serie de iniciativas con el objetivo de coordinar las acciones de la Iglesia Católica a nivel nacional, regional y global. A partir de este esfuerzo, surgieron importantes instituciones para la vida futura de la Iglesia Católica, como la organización financiera para apoyar las misiones y la formación del clero, que recibió especial atención de la Curia Romana. Era necesario movilizar a los católicos y sus instituciones en países desarrollados para mostrar solidaridad con la Iglesia del Tercer Mundo. En 1961, el episcopado alemán creó Adveniat, que recopilaba dinero de los fieles alemanes en Adviento y, con ello, subvencionaba el desarrollo eclesial y pastoral de la Iglesia en América Latina. Adveniat se convertiría rápidamente en una de las instituciones más importantes para la Iglesia en América Latina en el extranjero. El objetivo de este artículo es entender cuáles fueron las motivaciones eclesiales que determinaron el nacimiento de Adveniat, así como el dinamismo y las discusiones en torno a las prioridades de inversión. El curso histórico abordado comienza con la creación de Adveniat en 1961 y continúa hasta el final del Segundo Concilio Vaticano en 1965. Es un período histórico breve pero intenso. Se trata de una investigación histórica documental que utiliza fuentes primarias ubicadas en los archivos de Adveniat en Essen y en el Arzobispado de Colonia en Alemania.

Authors: Amelina I. О. , Kovaleva T. V.
Published: December 2023

The article dwells on the experience of using an authentic text in the classroom with foreign students.The relevance of the study is due to the scientific, theoretical and practical significance of the problems associated with understanding and adequate interpretation of the new linguoculture and is determined by the search for optimal tools for language teaching within Russian linguoculture, the study of which involves identifying the specifics of the worldview of Russian speakers, understanding the mentality of the inhabitants of Russia as a whole and the region in particular, where foreigners are trained. The scientific value and novelty of the research lie in the development of tools – a linguocultural commentary to authentic texts of a regional theme – in order to develop communicative and linguocultural competencies.The study is carried out on the material of the essay by E.I. Nosov “The Road Home”, which reflects Kursk regional realities, thus allowing to update linguocultural knowledge and develop communication skills. The object of commenting in a foreign audience is, first of all, vocabulary with a pronounced national and cultural component: archaisms, historicisms, neologisms, anthroponyms, toponyms, phraseological units, etc.The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge from various fields of science: linguoculturology, philology, cognitive linguistics, and linguodidactics. In the process of research, such methods as commenting, statistical, comparative-analytical methods were used.To assess the effectiveness of the methodology of linguocultural commenting on the authentic text, a test was conducted in the experimental and control groups of foreign students. The results of the test showed that the linguocultural commentary contributes to the understanding and adequate perception of the new linguoculture, the development of communicative competence.

The relevance of the study is justified by the significant interest and relevance of research issues to identify the causes of delinquent behavior, on the one hand, and significant changes in the structural and content aspect of delinquency, on the other.The study involved 120 people. The sample was divided into 4 groups according to age and manifestations of delinquent behavior: experimental group Э1 included adolescents 12-14 years old with delinquent behavior, experimental group Э2 included adolescents 15-17 years old with delinquent behavior, control group К1 included adolescents 12-14 years old without delinquent behavior, control group К2 included adolescents 15-17 years without manifestations of delinquent behavior.The morphological test of life values was used in the study (V. F. Sopov, L. V. Karpushina). This technique allows us to analyze the system of terminal life values and study the motivational and value structure of the personality. The morphological test of life values includes 8 types of life values: preservation of individuality, one's own prestige, social contacts, achievements, self-development, creativity, financial situation, spiritual satisfaction, which can be correlated with various spheres of life: professional life, training and education, family life, social activity, physical activity, hobbies.According to the results of the study, the features of life values characteristic of all adolescents with delinquent behavior were revealed: a decrease in the severity of life values, the lack of a stable orientation of the personality, a decrease in the severity of life spheres in which life values could be formed and realized. The ontogenetic aspect is revealed in the strengthening of this trend as we grow older.

The paper deals with such concepts as «social-psychological training» and «stress resistance»; the features of the application of this method in the formation of students' stress resistance are studied.One of the primary tasks of modern society in working with youth is the formation of a high level of sociopsychological adaptation. Currently, an active search and development of new forms and methods of both individual and group work with students is underway. In the diverse arsenal of methodological tools, a special place is given to socio-psychological training.The purpose of this psychological study was to study the features of the use of socio-psychological training as a means of forming students' stress resistance. During the primary diagnosis, two groups of students (control and experimental) were identified with a low level of stress resistance and a high level of stress.As part of the formative experiment, we developed and implemented a program of psychological support for students. Classes were held in the experimental group once a week for two months. After the formative experiment, the control stage of the study was carried out. At the control stage, the changes in the level of stress and stress tolerance of those who took (experimental group) and those who did not take part (control group) in the program were compared, thus, the effectiveness of the program of psychological support of students developed by us was tested. For re-diagnosis, the same methods were used as in the primary diagnosis at the ascertaining stage of the study.The methodological basis of the work was the theoretical provisions on the development of the group in the process of joint activity (L.G. Pochebut, G.M. Andreeva, E.S. Kuzmin, R.S. Nemov, etc.); ideas about the sociopsychological characteristics of the group (M.I. Bobneva, V.S. Ageev, P.K. Anokhin, etc.); conceptual foundations of personality development in the course of a specially organized psychological impact (A. Bandura, S.I. Makshanov, K. Levin, etc.); understanding and implementation of the methodology and methodology of socio-psychological training (L.A. Petrovskaya, Yu.N. Emelyanov, S.I. Makshanov).The research methods were theoretical analysis of scientific research; organizational methods; empirical methods: observation, psychodiagnostic methods, methods of statistical data processing.Comparative analysis of changes in the experimental and control groups (increase in stress resistance, reduction of stress and tension levels according to the corresponding coping strategies) allowed us to draw conclusions about the potential of applying the method of socio-psychological training in the formation of students' stress resistance.

The purpose of research is to conduct a theoretical psycholinguistic analysis of the phenomenon of "emotional intelligence", and to answer the following questions: 1) if emotional intelligence can be considered a syncretic psychological phenomenon or is it just a kind of general intelligence; 2) how and when emotional intelligence is formed in the process of ontogenesis; 3) to what extent the level of formation of emotional intelligence correlates with the level of development of speech ability.Methods. On the basis of L.S. Vygotsky's theory of speech activity, cognitive, constructivist theories of language ontogenesis, in particular, the theory of phasing and continuity of speech and cognitive development, a descriptive and comparative analyses of the models of emotional intelligence of Mayer-Salovey-Caruso, Goleman, Reuven Bar-On and the model of emotional literacy of Steiner is carried out. From the standpoint of modern psychology and psycholinguistics, the process of forming the abilities that make up the essence of the phenomenon of emotional intelligence is analyzed.The results. The considered models allowed us to identify a phenomenological core – emotions and their manifestations – that coincides in all. All models assume a priori the presence of abilities to perceive, control and understand their own emotions and emotional states and those in other people. It is proved that these abilities have continuity and are formed in the complex of all social interactions of the child in parallel with cognitive and speech development. The matter of the syncretic nature of the phenomenon of emotional intelligence is dismissed.Conclusion. Emotional intelligence is not a separate psychological education, but serves as a marker of the development of the cjgnitive functions, it is a "by-product" of the cognitive, speech and mental development of the child in the norm.

Authors: Camatta Zanotelli Ana Gabriela
Published: December 2023

O artigo pretende discutir o processo de mobilização social e confronto político no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil, tendo em vista o processo específico de engajamento da sociedade civil e o protagonismo desempenhado pelo Poder Judiciário neste cenário. Entendendo que as demandas voltadas à defesa de grupos vulneráveis no contexto de violações causadas pela pandemia motivam uma discussão interessante acerca da relação entre a Teoria da Mobilização do Direito (construída a partir do diálogo com a Teoria do Confronto Político) e as teorias críticas do Direito, o presente trabalho buscará realizar uma análise qualitativa sobre os principais casos levados ao Supremo Tribunal Federal no contexto da pandemia do coronavírus, com fins de apreender como vem ocorrendo a construção de performances estratégicas por parte de movimentos sociais nesta arena institucional. Um momento de crise, marcado por violações sistemáticas de direitos urgentes e fundamentais - as quais potencializam desigualdades historicamente presentes no contexto brasileiro - consiste em uma oportunidade propícia para se pensar sobre os novos contornos de mobilização social em um panorama de realinhamento de demandas gerado pela manifestação de novas (e velhas) violências.
