Published: June 2022

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the growth curve of “Aurora 1” peaches using fruit height and diameter data over time through diphasic sigmoidal models constructed from eight combinations of the following models: Brody, Gompertz and Logistic. Data were obtained from an experiment carried out in 2005 in the municipality of Vista Alegre do Alto, São Paulo, Brazil. The parameters of models were adjusted by the least squares method using the Gauss-Newton algorithm implemented in the R software. Assumptions of normality, homogeneity and independence of residues were verified based on Shapiro-Wilk, Breush and Pagan and Durbin-Watson tests, respectively. The goodness of fit of models was verified according to the corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc), residual standard deviation (RSD), asymptote adjustment index (AI) and nonlinearity measures. All models adjusted for both fruit height and diameter variables met the assumptions of normality, independence and homoscedasticity of errors. In addition, all of them present good quality of fit to fruit height and diameter data, since they presented AI values close to one and low RSD values and non-linearity measures. However, the double Gompertz (GG) and the Logistic + Gompertz (LG) models presented, respectively, the best quality of fit to fruit height and diameter data in relation to the other models. It could be concluded that all diphasic sigmoidal models evaluated showed good fit to height and diameter data and can be used to describe the growth curve of “Aurora-1” peaches, according to goodness of fit criteria. However, it is important to highlight that GG and LG models presented the best quality of fit and can be selected to describe the height and diameter growth of “Aurora 1” peach fruits, respectively, with maximum expected growth close to 63 mm in height and 48 mm in diameter.

ABSTRACT: We described a case of rhinitis case caused by Exserohilum rostratum in a 3-year-old, mixed breed, afemale goat, presenting with decreased appetite, dyspnea, and face deformity, with evolution of approximately 2 months. Necropsy revealed an extensive brownish yellow, irregular, ulcerated, and friable focal lesion in the nasal cavity. Purulent secretion drained from the lesion, affecting the nasal vestibule and extending the caudal portion of the dorsal concha, associated with nasal meatus obstruction, destruction of the nasal septum, and nasal bone palatine and vomer. Histologically, the lesion was characterized as rhinitis and pyogranulomatous and necrotizing osteomyelitis (multifocal to coalescent, sharp, and chronic) and associated with a myriad of fungal structures. Morphologically, the hyphae were characterized by thin, slightly tortuous, and rarely septate walls (2-6 μm diameter), multiple chains of individual conidia or in groups (8-10 μm diameter), and pigmented chlamydoconidia (7.5-15 μm diameter). They showed positive results for the special histochemical techniques such as Fontana Masson, methenamine silver nitrate by Grocott, and periodic acid by Schiff. E. rostratum was identified as the causative agent using microbiological isolation associated with molecular identification. Pyrogranulomatous rhinitis caused by E. rostratum in goats is unprecedented, being the first isolation of the agent in animals in Brazil and the first case of nasal phaeohyphomycosis in the goats.
Colouring the Balassa index: a hermeneutic approach towards Romanian meat imports
Authors: Mann Stefan , Beciu Silviu , Arghiroiu Georgiana Armenita
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT: Romania has good agricultural resources and declining meat consumption, yet the country’s meat imports are on the rise. This study uses Balassa’s idea to link national trade patterns to worldwide ones and extends it, for the period between 2004 and 2019, to the ratio between prices and to the ratio between variables describing intra-industry trade. For price ratios, this study showed that Romania imported primarily inferior qualities of meat, particularly at the beginning of the study period. Regarding intra-industry trade, the Romanian trend moves in the opposite direction to the worldwide trend. Although, the trade of meat parts compared with whole/ half carcasses is on the rise internationally, it is declining in Romania, probably due to increasing competitiveness of the industry.

Abstract The Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip protocol is the most extensively used transformation method for a model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Several useful methods for Agrobacterium tumefaciens–mediated transformations of Arabidopsis are existing, but they are time consuming and with low transformation efficiency. Here, we developed a transgenic Arabidopsis lines TET12p::TET12-RFP in a short period of time and enhanced transformation efficiency by using a modified transformation method by applying drought stress after floral dip. In this protocol, Agrobacterium cells carrying TET12p::TET12-RFP recombinant vectors were resuspended in a solution of 5% sucrose, 0.05% (v/v) silwet L-77 to transform female gametes of developing Arabidopsis inflorescences. Treated Arabidopsis were then applied with different levels of drought stresses to stimulate plants for the utilization of maximum plant energy in seed maturation process. The applied stresses achieved the fast maturation of already treated inflorescences while stopped the growing of newly arising untreated inflorescence, thus decreased the chances of wrong collection of untransformed seeds. Consequently, the collected seeds were mostly transgenic with a transformation frequency of at least 10%, thus the screening for positive transformants selection was more advantageous on a selective medium as compared to a classical floral dip method. Within 2-3 months, two hundred of individual transgenic plants were produced from just 10 infiltrated plants. This study concludes that application of drought stresses in a specific stage of plant is a beneficial strategy for achieving the transgenic Arabidopsis in a short period of time with high transformation efficiency.
Clinical and arthroscopic presentation of horses with osteochondral fragmentation at metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints: a 10-year study (2010-2019)

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the clinical and arthroscopic presentations of horses with osteochondral fragmentation at the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of São Paulo in a 10-year period (2010-2019). The hind limbs were affected similarly to the plantar and dorsal fragments from the first phalanx, while the thoracic limbs had a more frequent occurrence on the dorsal aspect of the joint. The Brazilian Sport Horses were the most frequently observed breed. The degree of lameness was variable and might be related to fragment localization, animal age, and physical activity. There was a significant statistical difference between the joint effusion and degree of lameness; therefore, it can be considered that the joint effusion is related to degenerative joint processes and might be triggered by the presence of the osteochondral fragment. Surgical correction, especially when performed in young animals using an arthroscopic procedure is probably the best treatment option for most cases, possibly acting as a minimizer of the occurrence of secondary joint degeneration. Prospective studies of specific breeds with a larger number of animals can expand this clinical characterization and enable a better understanding of the animal’s recovery after surgical or conservative management.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior and histopathological changes in the hippocampus of epileptic Wistar rats treated with acupuncture associated or not with phenobarbital. The experiment used 44 male rats with 90 days of birth, induced to status epileptics with pilocarpine hydrochloride in a single dose of 350mg/kg, separated into treatment groups and submitted for 5 minutes to the elevated plus-maze test. Group 1 received 0.2mL of saline solution orally; Group 2 treated with acupuncture at the yintang, baihui, shishencong, jizhong, naohu, thianzu points; Group 3 received orally phenobarbital, daily dose of 20mg/kg; Group 4 treated with an association of acupuncture and oral phenobarbital; Group 5 random needling. The results obtained showed that Groups 2 (acupuncture) and 4 (acupuncture and phenobarbital) presented decreased anxiety, epileptic seizures, and neuronal death in the CA1, CA3 areas of the hippocampus when compared to animals in groups 1, 3 and 5. It is concluded that the association of phenobarbital and acupuncture points used in the experiment allowed for the control of epileptic seizures, reduction of anxiety and reduction of lesions in the subareas of the hippocampus.

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of estrus expression, body condition score (BCS), different sires and semen batches on the conception rate of suckled Bos taurus beef cows submitted to timed artificial insemination (TAI). Data from 7,737 TAI were obtained from five farms in South Brazil. Cows received an estradiol plus progesterone-based estrous synchronization protocol. Only sires (n = 13) with at least two semen batches and 50 AI in two different lots were included in the study. Conception rate was higher for cows in estrus (66.8% vs. 26.3%) or with BCS ≥ 3 (57.2% vs. 51.6%) than in cows without estrus or BCS < 3, respectively (P≤0.001). Conception rate per sire ranged from 42.6% (Sire L) to 74.3% (Sire K). Conception rate in cows with BCS ≥ 3 and estrus occurrence varied from 47.4% (Sire L) to 86.1% (Sire A) among sires. Conception rate differed among semen batches of the same sire (B1 = 58.5%, B2 = 62.5%, and B3 = 83.2%). In conclusion, there was individual variation in conception rate among AI sires and semen batches within sires. The conception rate was increased by estrus occurrence and greater BCS.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine pH and the concentrations of Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Chloride (Cl-), Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+) and Calcium (Ca2+) in the mammary gland secretion in pre-foaling Mangalarga Marchador (MM) mares to determine the best method to predict parturition in the breed. Forty-two pregnant MM mares were evaluated once daily from 310 days of gestation until parturition. Mammary gland secretion pH, measured by pH meter and pH paper strip, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Cl- levels significantly changed during the last 10 days prior to parturition (p<0.05). The lowest pH mean value (pH meter=6.67±0.42; pH strip=6.23±0.53) and significantly higher mean concentrations of Ca2+ (12.6±5.8mmol/L) and Mg2+ (10.93±3.66mmol/L) were obtained 24 hours prior to foaling (p<0.0001). Chloride levels reduced significantly 8 days prior to parturition (p<0.0001) but remained unchanged until the due date. Mammary gland pH secretion, measured by pH meter and pH paper strip, was effective to predict parturition. Quantitative pH values obtained with the pH meter had a greater accuracy in comparison to pH paper strips, but a strong correlation was found between both methods. Calcium and magnesium were the only electrolytes that changed in concentration immediately prior to parturition and are better indicators of when not to expect foaling.

ABSTRACT Myofibrosarcoma in horses is a rare malignant tumor composed predominantly by myofibroblasts. A 15-year-old horse was referred to the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Parana for evaluation of colic signs. Initial physical examination showed icteric mucous membrane and laboratory analysis found anemia, increased serum activity of ALT, GGT, ALP, and bilirubin. In the exploratory laparotomy a highly vascularized abdominal mass in the left hypochondrium region of approximately 50cm x 45cm x 30cm, adhered to the surrounding structures was observed. Due to the size and adhesions to the omentum, the mass was considered surgically unresectable, and euthanasia was performed followed by necropsy. The immunohistochemical and morphological results indicate the diagnosis of myofibrosarcoma since the neoplastic cells immunoexpressed Vimentin, HHF35 and S100. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first equine case of omental myofibrosarcoma described in the literature.

ABSTRACT Vehicle collisions involving giant anteaters contribute significantly to the decline of this population. Although mortality rates at the time of trauma are high, many animals survive despite severe trauma and limb fractures. Treating these individuals is extremely challenging. This report describes the use of a corrective osteotomy to treat an angular deformity caused by inadequate healing of a tibial and fibular fracture in a young giant anteater. The animal was rescued on a highway by the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). He was presented at the University Veterinary Hospital with lameness of the left pelvic limb and edema in the middle region of the tibial shaft. The radiographic examination showed an exuberant callus and significant bone deviation in the middle third of the left tibia and fibula. Corrective wedge osteotomy and fixation with a 3.5mm locking plate and 2.5mm intramedullary pin were performed. In the immediate postoperative period, there was functional recovery of the limb and complete consolidation of the osteotomy was identified 60 days after the operation. The corrective wedge osteotomy technique was effective for the treatment of inadequate tibial consolidation in a young giant anteater, providing complete recovery of all limb functions.

ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis determined by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii with wide geographic distribution, which affects homeothermic animals, with felids being their definitive hosts and other mammals and birds being their intermediate hosts. Regarding the Latin American bird species Cairina moschata, there are few reports in Brazil of the exposure of these animals to this protozoan. Based on the above, this study aimed to report for the first time the exposure of C. moschata to infection by this parasite in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, determining the serological frequency of anti-T. gondii antibodies in birds of this species. Sixty-seven specimens of C. moschata were captured in the vicinity of the Rio de Janeiro Zoo, and these animals at the time of capture were sorted by gender and type of feather. Blood samples from these animals were obtained by venipuncture to obtain the serum. The serum samples were subjected to IFAT for anti-T. gondii IgG. In general, the frequency of positive results was 58.21% (n=39), with a statistically significant association (p<0.05) between the animals with adult plumage and seropositivity. The exposure of ducks to T. gondii in the vicinity of the Zoo may indicate contamination of this area with protozoan oocysts.

ABSTRACT Leptospirosis affects several animal species, including man. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Leptospira spp. and to identify factors associated with the risk of Leptospira spp. in dairy cattle in the municipality of Ji-Paraná, RO, Brazil, sampled by rural sector, from September 2012 to November 2013. Blood samples from 627 dairy cows were randomly collected from 63 farms belonging to six rural sectors. Leptospirosis was diagnosed by the microscopic serum agglutination technique. Of the 627 animals tested, 255 had anti-Leptospira antibodies (40.48%, 95% CI: 36.64-44.31) and 57 of the 63 studied dairy farms (90.5%, 95% CI: 83.23-97.72) had at least one reactive animal. The results indicate that serovar Hardjo had the highest (12.38%. 95% CI: 10.03-15.18) followed by serovars Shermani, Wolffi, Hebdomadis and Canicola occurrence in dairy cows. Additionally, infection was also associated with abortion occurrences in cows of 36 farms (57.14%) and the presence of dogs roaming free with access to pasture, water and cattle in 47 farms (74.60%). Therefore, free-roaming animals are considered a predisposing factor, highlighting the need for adopting prophylactic measures while raising the awareness from rural producers about the importance and the economic losses that leptospirosis may cause.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate copper sulfate solutions at 5% and 10% concentrations in footbaths from three dairy farms (A, B and C) with free stall and compost barn production systems, located in the municipality of Arapoti, Parana, Brazil. Farms A, B and C were composed of 537, 88 and 208 lactating cows, respectively, all conditioned to the use of a footbath. Every seven days, before and after the passage of each batch of cows through the footbath, samples of the solution were collected for the evaluation of pH, temperature, and the volume of the solution measured. Farms A and C had higher pH alkalinization due to the greater number of batch passages, from the third batch onwards, and also a reduction in the volume of the solution. It is concluded that the volume varied both with the number of animals that passed through the footbath and with the deposition of organic matter in the solution. The concentration of 10% copper sulfate solution was not able to inhibit pH changes. Furthermore, there was no standardization in the dimensions of the footbaths on the farms.

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to demonstrate how a regression model can be used as a decision support tool in the poultry sector, using variables that affect profit, within the scope of broiler enterprises that are engaged in contract production depending on broiler integrations. Enterprises included in the study were selected from Bolu, Sakarya and Ankara provinces those have the 24% of the rearing flocks and the integrations in Turkey. The 68 out of 9872 broiler enterprises existing in Turkey in 2017 were included in the study by random sampling method. The regression model obtained because of this study allows producers and institutions providing consultancy services in the broiler sector to monitor the marginal effect of variables that affect profit. As a result, when price and cost factors change under different risk conditions, the research model can be used as a decision support tool.

Abstract This article seeks to analyze the use of Plano Individual de Atendimento (Individual Assistance Plans) for the construction of the life projects of adolescents serving Medida Socioeducativa (Socio-Educational Measures) in an incarceration facility. Interviews were conducted with ten adolescents between the ages of 15 and 17, who were carrying out an Medida Socioeducativa of male incarceration, and document analysis was performed on their plans. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis, from the categories “Elaboration of the Individual Assistance Plans”, “What the PIA addressed” and “Objective of the Individual Assistance Plans” in the light of Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology. The interviews and plans analyzed did not present sufficient information to identify the construction of the life project. The use of Individual Assistance Plans in socio-educational measures, allowing it to accomplish its planning and socio-educational function, remains challenging.

ABSTRACT Substrate composition is a major factor influencing seedling quality. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of biosolid as a substrate component in the initial growth of Syagrus romanzoffiana (Cham.) Glassman seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized, with six treatments, five replicates and seven plants per plot. The treatments consisted of substrates resulting from the mixture of subsoil (SS) and biosolid (BIO) at different proportions: 100 % SS; 20 % BIO + 80 % SS; 40 % BIO + 60 % SS; 60 % BIO + 40 % SS; 80 % BIO + 20 % SS; 100 % BIO. The seedling quality and morphological characteristics were evaluated. There was an increase up to the proportion of 60 % of biosolid for shoot height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, total chlorophyll content, root length, shoot dry matter and Dickson’s quality index. For the root and total dry matter, increases occurred up to the proportion of 40 % of biosolid. Therefore, the use of biosolid in the proportions of 40 and 60 % in the substrate composition proved to be efficient, as they promoted a satisfactory initial growth (all seedlings presented shoot height between 30 and 40 cm and stem diameter of 5 mm) and quality of the evaluated seedlings.

ABSTRACT The adoption of technologies that allow the mitigation of environmental stresses, such as the use of regulators in seed treatment, is an alternative for crops in high temperatures regions. This study aimed to assess the heat stress mitigation on the germination and initial development of carrot seedlings using plant growth regulators. The study was divided into three experiments performed at the temperatures of 25, 30 and 35 °C. A 5 × 3 factorial arrangement was used, with fve carrot cultivars (Alvorada, Brasília, BRS Esplanada, Tellus and Tropical) and two products (Stimulate® and thiamethoxam), in addition to the control (untreated seeds). The following variables were evaluated: germination, first germination count, seedling length and dry mass. When the cultivars had their seeds treated with the plant growth regulators at 25 °C, the germination for the Tellus cultivar was 28 % higher than for the control, while, at 30 °C, the seed germination for BRS Esplanada and Tellus was twice as high as for the control, and showed a higher vigor than that of Alvorada, Brasília and Tropical. Overall, the thiamethoxam promoted increments at the initial development of carrot seedlings at 25 and 30 °C. However, the germination of the carrot cultivars was disrupted at 35 °C.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever a distribuição espaçotemporal da mortalidade infantil eseus componentes no município do Rio de Janeiro nos anos de 2010 e 2019. Métodos: Estimamos a taxa de mortalidade infantil e os componentes neonatal e pós-neonatal. Calculamos a taxa de mortalidade padronizada para detectar excesso de mortalidade infantil nas áreas de planejamento e realizamos regressão de Poisson para estimar o efeito dessas áreas nos anos de 2010 e 2019. Efetuamos análise espacial por bairros para detectar autocorrelação espacial das taxas, com uso do índice de Moran e do indicador local de associação espacial (LISA). Resultados: As áreas de planejamento são muito heterogêneas em função da história e da evolução da ocupação. Há excesso de mortalidade nas áreas de planejamento com maior vulnerabilidade social. No modelo de Poisson, observamos que em todos os componentes a área de planejamento de residência teve significância estatística, assim como o ano. O índice de Moran não mostrou autocorrelação espacial global. Contudo, ao aplicarmos o método LISA, observou-se autocorrelação em nível local e aglomerados espaciais no município do Rio de Janeiro. Conclusões: A heterogeneidade espacial da taxa de mortalidade infantil no Rio de Janeiro sugere que estratégias locais de políticas de saúde para cada região são uma medida eficiente para sua redução.
Spatio-temporal analysis of infant mortality in the city of Rio de Janeiro, 2010–2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the spatio-temporal distribution of infant mortality and its components in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2010 and 2019. Methods: Infant mortality rate and the neonatal and postneonatal components were estimated. The standardized mortality rate was calculated to detect excess child mortality in the planning areas. Poisson regression was performed to estimate the effect of these planning areas on the years 2010 and 2019. Spatial analysis per neighborhoods was performed to identify the spatial autocorrelation rates, using the Moran’s Index and local indicator of spatial association (LISA). Results: The planning areas are very heterogeneous, depending on the history and evolution of occupation. There is an excess of mortality in planning areas with greater social vulnerability. In the Poisson model, it was observed that in all components, the planning area (PA) of residence was statistically significant as well as the year. Moran’s index did not show global spatial autocorrelation. However, when applying the LISA method, autocorrelation was observed at the local level and spatial clusters in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Conclusions: The spatial heterogeneity of the infant mortality rate in Rio de Janeiro suggests that local health policy strategies of each region consist in an efficient measure for reducing this rate.
Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis syndrome in children: a brief literature review
Authors: Okamoto Cristina Terumy , Chaves Hanne Lise , Schmitz Mateus José
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of the periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome. Data source: Literature review in the PubMed database by using specific descriptors to identify all articles published in the English language in the last three years; 38 articles were found. After performing selection of titles and abstract analysis, 13 out of the 38 articles were fully read. Relevant studies found in the references of the reviewed articles were also included. Data synthesis: The PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis and cervical Adenitis) is a medical condition grouped among the periodic fever syndromes. The etiology is uncertain, but possibly multifactorial, and its symptoms are accompanied by recurrent febrile episodes although weight and height development are preserved. It is a self-limiting disease of benign course with remission of two to three years without significant interference in the patient's overall development. Treatment consists of three pillars: interruption of febrile episodes, increase in the interval between episodes, and remission. Conclusions: Despite several attempts to establish more sensitive and specific criteria, the diagnosis of PFAPA syndrome is still clinical and reached by exclusion, based on the modified Marshall's criteria. The most common pharmacological options for treatment include prednisolone and betamethasone; colchicine may be used as prophylaxis, and surgical treatment with tonsillectomy can be considered in selected cases.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The Sayers and Newton questionnaire was developed in England to assess the child’s and parent’s expectations about orthodontic treatment. Objective: The aim of this study was to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaire for the Brazilian Portuguese language, to test its reliability, and to compare patients’ and their parents’ expectations of orthodontic treatment. Methods: After translation and cross-cultural adaptation, the questionnaire was applied to 98 patients (12-14 years), who had been referred for treatment, and their caregivers. The internal consistency of the instrument was assessed by Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient and the test-retest reliability, by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Results: Internal reliability was confirmed by a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.75. Test-retest reliability revealed satisfactory reproducibility (ICC = 0.85). The results showed some significant differences between the expectations of the patients and their caregivers (p < 0.05). There were no significant gender differences (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Sayers and Newton questionnaire for the Brazilian Portuguese was concluded. This study demonstrated that this instrument is reliable and applicable to assess the child’s and parent’s expectations about orthodontic treatment in Brazil, and it has acceptable psychometric properties.

Resumo A quarta revolução tecnológica criou ambiente envolto por grandes promessas e significativos riscos, em que despertam tensões socioestruturais. Vocacionado a converter novidades em lucro, o sistema econômico se adaptou e, a partir de um modelo de negócios em que o comportamento humano se torna a principal mercadoria, pôs-se a expandir desenfreadamente. Com lastro no referencial teórico da teoria dos sistemas sociais, o presente artigo almeja perseguir e compreender como e a partir de quais estratégias o sistema jurídico poderá cumprir com a sua função de estabilizar as expectativas normativas e cognitivas da sociedade.
Linguagem (não) estigmatizante em julgados no Judiciário Brasileiro

Resumo Linguagem (não) estigmatizante em julgados no Judiciário Brasileiro. Far-se-á uma análise acerca do uso de nomes que estigmatizam os sujeitos, a partir da atuação do Judiciário Brasileiro, como nítido desafio à efetivação do direito fraterno ao respeito. Para tanto, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória com abordagem quali-quantitativa, o artigo parte de uma busca por julgados do Supremo Tribunal Federal e do Superior Tribunal de Justiça que utilizem possível linguagem estigmatizante, a fim de verificar se grupos vulneráveis são tratados com respeito por essas Cortes ou são destituídos de suas subjetividades e aniquilados em suas particularidades. O problema de pesquisa: a linguagem no trato judiciário encontra-se em conformidade com a Constituição e compromete-se com a efetivação do direito ao respeito no contexto de afirmação da pessoa humana no Estado Democrático de Direito Brasileiro pós-1988? A hipótese é que a linguagem usada pelo Poder Judiciário reproduz, em alguma medida, os diversos processos de exclusão que marcam a história da sociedade brasileira no que toca à afirmação de direitos de grupos vulneráveis. O plano de investigação será desenvolvido em quatro seções e, ao final, considerações representativas para a necessária discussão do tema.
Ius Constitutionale Commune: a potencial expansão da proteção das minorias sexuais na jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal a partir do reconhecimento do status de “categoria suspeita” e da incorporação dos precedentes da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos
Authors: Leal Mônia Clarissa Hennig , Vargas Eliziane Fardin de
Published: June 2022

Resumo O estudo se propõe a analisar os fatores — tais como a vinculação ao corpus iuris interamericano, o mandado do princípio pro persona, o dever de realização do controle de convencionalidade e o dever de compatibilização do direito interno aos precedentes do Sistema Interamericano de Proteção aos Direitos Humanos — que conduzem à vinculação do Supremo Tribunal Federal em reconhecer as minorias sexuais como categoria suspeita de discriminação, de modo a alinhar seu entendimento jurisprudencial aos padrões de proteção destinados às minorias sexuais desenvolvidos pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, na perspectiva de um constitucionalismo transformador (ius constitutionale commune). Para tanto, tem-se como objetivos principais, inicialmente, explanar sobre as decisões paradigmáticas proferidas pelo STF sobre a matéria entre os anos de 2010 até 2020, que constituem um importante avanço na consolidação e proteção dos direitos desses grupos. Na sequência, busca-se averiguar a respeito do desenvolvimento teórico e jurisprudencial da noção de “categoria suspeita” de discriminação na Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. E, finalmente, analisar a existência de uma vinculação da jurisdição constitucional brasileira a seguir os standards mínimos em matéria de direitos humanos estabelecidos pela Corte IDH, bem como seus potenciais impactos na expansão dessa proteção no Brasil. Preliminarmente, é possível concluir que o Supremo Tribunal Federal poderia reconhecer o status de “categoria suspeita” em relação às minorias sexuais no âmbito de sua atuação, pois o Estado brasileiro, nas suas mais variadas esferas e Poderes, permanece vinculado a seguir aos precedentes fixados pelo Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos, em razão de reconhecer a competência da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e também devido à eficácia erga omnes atribuída às suas decisões, para além do dever de execução do controle de convencionalidade e pela influência do mandado transformador emanado do projeto do Ius Constitucionale Commune Latino-Americano.

Resumo Quando uma criança nasce intersexo, demanda análise diferenciada do padrão identitário classificatório sexo masculino-feminino. O presente artigo visa discutir a garantia ao registro civil da criança intersexo na perspectiva do direito à identidade. Metodologia de natureza qualitativa: revisão de literatura, revisão legislativa e entrevista semiestruturada. A tendência da produção científica não privilegia o direito à identidade da criança intersexo. Ainda não é possível identificar um caminho legislativo específico e mais eficaz.
EXPERIENCIAS RELACIONALES EN LA EDUCACIÓN PATRIMON
Authors: Falcón Roberto Marcelo , Torregrosa Apolline
Published: June 2022

RESUMEN Este artículo propone una reflexión sobre las mutaciones sociales que surgen a partir de la confluencia entre Patrimonio y Educación, donde se evidencia un cambio de época, un deslizamiento de las fijas identidades nacionales a las dinámicas identificaciones societales. La Educación Patrimonial inicia así un camino que subraya el pasaje del Patrimonio como realidad histórica y estática, a la experiencia patrimonial como dimensión relacional. Desde estas transformaciones, la Educación Patrimonial abre oportunidades para sobrepasar las identidades de los pueblos que se aferran a un nacionalismo no deseado. A partir de una mirada epistemológica de las actividades que se han desarrollado entorno al Patrimonio para facilitar su acceso –la mediación y las propuestas pedagógicas –, pondremos en evidencia las mutaciones en curso, desde las experiencias que amplifican las vivencias de las personas.

Authors: Rite Mónica Trabajo , López José María Cuenca
Published: June 2022

RESUMEN El estudio muestra el análisis de una experiencia de enseñanza en Ciencias Sociales que parte de la necesidad de reconectar al estudiante con su entorno social, cultural y natural utilizando el patrimonio como símbolo de identidad. El objetivo es educar hacia el abordaje de las actuales necesidades y desafíos del desarrollo planetario, creando conexiones identitarias entre personas y entornos. Partiendo del paradigma cualitativo, mediante cuestionarios, observaciones y análisis de proyectos del alumnado se obtiene información que se analiza mediante un sistema de categorías. Los resultados evidencian cómo propuestas de educación patrimonial favorecen la creación de vínculos de identidad que propician una formación ciudadana crítica, reflexiva y comprometida con su territorio y comunidad.
