Objetivo: Descrever características da alimentação dos participantes da coorte NutriNet Brasil imediatamente antes e na vigência da pandemia de COVID-19.

Métodos: Os dados deste estudo provêm de coorte de adultos criada para investigar prospectivamente a relação entre alimentação e morbimortalidade por doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis no Brasil. Para este estudo, foram selecionados os primeiros participantes (n=10.116) que responderam por duas vezes questionário simplificado sobre sua alimentação no dia anterior, a primeira ao ingressar no estudo, entre 26 de janeiro e 15 de fevereiro de 2020, e a segunda entre 10 e 19 de maio de 2020. O questionário indaga sobre o consumo de marcadores de alimentação saudável (hortaliças, frutas e leguminosas) e não saudável (alimentos ultraprocessados). Comparações de indicadores baseados no consumo desses marcadores antes e na vigência da pandemia são apresentadas para o conjunto da população estudada e segundo sexo, faixa etária, macrorregião de residência e escolaridade. Testes qui-quadrado e testes t foram utilizados para comparar proporções e médias, respectivamente, adotando-se p <0,05 para identificar diferenças significantes.

Resultados: Para o conjunto dos participantes, identificou-se aumento modesto, porém estatisticamente significante, no consumo de marcadores de alimentação saudável e estabilidade no consumo de marcadores de alimentação não saudável. Esse padrão favorável de mudanças na alimentação com a pandemia se repetiu na maior parte dos estratos sociodemográficos. Padrão menos favorável de mudanças, com tendência de aumento no consumo de marcadores de alimentação saudável e não saudável foi observado nas macrorregiões Nordeste e Norte e entre pessoas com menor escolaridade, sugerindo desigualdades sociais na resposta à pandemia.

Conclusões: Caso confirmada, a tendência de aumento no consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados nas regiões economicamente menos desenvolvidas e nas pessoas com menor escolaridade preocupa, pois o consumo desses alimentos aumenta o risco de obesidade, hipertensão e diabetes, cuja presença aumenta a gravidade e a letalidade da COVID-19.

Published: July 2020

Drawing together methodologies and analytical frameworks from religious studies and environmental science and related fields, this paper discusses the possible role of Buddhist sacred spaces in conserving biodiversity in Myanmar. Faculty and students worked together to analyze relationships between sacred spaces, religious practice, and biodiversity. We explored whether there was any evidence for an emergent or present Buddhist eco-ethic in Myanmar that fused religious spaces and places with environmental protection, and if so, how it might resonate with Buddhist environmentalism in other areas of the world, such as in Thailand, in the Tibetan regions of China, and elsewhere.1

Authors: TANSÜ Yunus Emre , ÇERKEZOĞLU Semra
Published: July 2020

Arkeolojik kalıntılar, Bulgarların, Türk menşeli bir kavim olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Göktürklerin, idaresi altında yaşayan Bulgarlar, Göktürklerin güçsüz döneminde, 630’da ‘‘Büyük Bulgarya Devletini’’ kurmuşlardır. Bu devlet, Hazar Hakanlığı tarafından parçalanmıştır (665). Asparuh idaresindeki Bulgarlar, Tuna’ya doğru yönelmişler, burada, Oğuzlar ve Hunlarla karışarak Bulgar adı altında, bu topraklarda hakimiyet kurmuşlardır. Büyük Kosova Savaşı’ndan sonra (1839) Tuna ve Vidin’e kadar bütün Bulgaristan Osmanlı hakimiyetine girmiş ve halk, dini ve milli değerlerinde özgür bırakılmıştır. Bulgarların bağımsızlık hareketleri, ilk defa XVIII. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında başlamıştır. 1828/29 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı’ndan sonra Ruslar, Bulgarların çete faaliyetlerini desteklemişlerdir. Bulgarlar, Rusların Balkanlardaki faaliyetlerinden faydalanarak, Osmanlı Devleti’nden ayrılma eğilimi göstermeye başlamışlardır. Bulgar bağımsızlık hareketi, hem ideolojik gelişme hem de organizasyon olarak 1860’larda doruk noktasına ulaşmıştır. Bulgar Ortodoks Kilisesi 11 Mart 1870 tarihindeki bir fermanla tanınmış, sonrasında milli Bulgar kilisesi, kurulmuştur. Dini bağımsızlıklarını kazanan Bulgarlar, siyasi bağımsızlıklarını kazanmak için savaşmaya, 1875 ve 1876 yılında yapılan, iki güçlü ihtilal teşebbüsüyle devam etmiştir. 1877-1878 Savaşı Osmanlı- Rus mücadelesinde, Bulgarlar Rusya’ya büyük destek vermiş, Bulgar gönüllüleri, Rus ordusunda Osmanlı Devleti’ne karşı savaşmıştır. Bu savaşta, çok sayıda Müslüman hayatını kaybetmiş ve çok sayıda Müslüman, evlerini bırakarak göç etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Bu çalışmada; Bulgarların Türk kökenli bir topluluk olduğu, siyasi bağımsızlıklarını elde etme sürecinde Türk kimlikleri ile değil, dini kimliklerine göre faaliyetlerine yön verip, bağımsızlıklarını elde etme mücadeleleri anlatılmıştır.
DNA Model with Non-Local Inter-Site Interaction in Collisional Thermostat
Authors: Shigaev A.S. , Lihachev I.V. , Lakhno V.D.
Published: July 2020

A modified Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxios model with non-local nature of the inter-site potential was studied in a collisional thermostat with a Maxwell velocity distribution of short-lived virtual particles at a temperature of 310 K. Introduction of non-locality to the inter-site potential was found to reduce significantly the equilibrium constants for the denaturation bubble formation reaction. This property improves the agreement of calculated data with experiments. The effect is especially pronounced for large bubbles. The end effects in the new version of the model are investigated. The significant contribution of entropy and the important role of the processes of transfer and localization of mechanical energy at the end sections of DNA are shown.
Audience Attention and Emotion in News Filmed with Drones: A Neuromarketing Research
Authors: Mañas-Viniegra Luis , García-García Alberto , Martín-Moraleda Ignacio J.
Published: July 2020

Emotional journalism is being driven by audiovisual technology such as drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, which have demonstrated their usefulness in transforming objective news into news stories from a new visual perspective, facilitating access to dangerous or difficult places. They also allow for greater immersion by an audience that has become an active participant in the news, and they contribute to the storytelling of communication despite the risk to privacy and security that their misuse might entail. The aim of this research is to determine the differences in attention and intensity of the emotions experienced when viewing two pieces of audiovisual news: One was filmed with the technological support of a drone, and the other was produced in the conventional way. The techniques of eye tracking and galvanic skin response were used in 30 Spanish university students. The results suggest that attention was focused on the most spectacular visual elements, although the images filmed with a drone received a higher concentration of attention from the subjects, and this attention was spread throughout the entire image, which demonstrates that drones enhance the effectiveness of panoramic images with natural landscapes. The greatest emotion generated by viewing the images recorded with drones was statistically significant, but it was limited exclusively to these particular scenes, and not to the entire recording of the news.
Canadian Assistance to Central and Eastern Europe in Post-Cold War Times
Authors: Bessonova Maryna
Published: July 2020

Canadian support for the post-communist countries of the Central and Eastern Europe is one of the important components of the international assistance. It plays a great role for the successful transition in the region from communist to the liberal political and economical system. The region consists of the very different nations, some of them already completely incorporated to the Western economic, political, defense and security structures, and others are still on their path to democracy. In the article it is proposed a short overview of the place occupied by Central and Eastern Europe among Canadian foreign policy interests; and generalizations of the main ways of Canadian assistance to the countries of the region (such as political and economic reforms, human rights, supremacy of laws, freedom of media, etc.). Support of democratic developments in the world remains one of the main priorities for Canadian foreign policy. Despite some critiques inside the Canadian society of the issues of financial support, the assistance to the developing nations of Central and Eastern Europe completely fits universal values declared as the main pillars of current Canadian foreign policy.
Transformation of the US Energy Policy in the First Half of the 1970s.
Authors: Danylets Vadym
Published: July 2020

Violation of status-quo in the Middle East, which radically influenced the world oil supply system, generated the uncertainty of prospects in politics in general and energetics in particular. For the United States, it became necessary to transform their energy strategy, which included domestic and foreign policy aspects. However until October, 1973 the Administration of the USA could not develop a strategy capable of preventing an energy crisis of 1973–1974. Nevertheless, persistent looking for a new model of energy politics continued in the United States throughout the first half of 1970. As of December 1972, at least 42 federal agencies, bureaus, departments, and offices were involved in research into energy issues. The 93rd Congress (January 1973–January 1975) involved itself was in energy-related legislation on an unprecedented scale. More than 2,000 bills were introduced, and more than 30 standing congressional committees collectively held over 1,000 days of hearings on nearly every aspect of energy policy programs and problems. Nearly 40 energy-related laws were enacted. The magnitude of these efforts indicates that the United States leadership was deeply concerned about the situation. Despite the efforts made, the US administration could not avoid the dramatic events of the energy crisis. The cause for this was the untimely transformation of American energy policy.
This article shows relationship between politics and energetics and explores, therefore, political methods, used in the USA in the process of developing the new energy politics in 1970 – 1975. It covers the history of this politics institutional and legal base creation. By the modern viewpoints it highlights the main problems and barriers to energy strategy formation, which slowed down its transformation.
Edward Stettinius – Franklin Roosevelt’s Secretary of State
Authors: Klynina Tetiana
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to one of the United States Secretaries of State, Edward Stettinius, a political figure who is well known and ambiguous in American society and less well known in Ukraine. The author first reports on E. Stettinius’ emergence as a financier and a person involved in American business, and emphasizes that the victories in the business have attracted the attention of political circles in Washington and the White House. It is stated that with the outbreak of World War II, the United States introduced a land-lease program, administered at the request of Washington by Edward Stettinius. Following his successful experience in conducting a land-lease, US President Franklin Roosevelt began to think of involving E. Stettinius in leadership positions at the State Department, which could not cope with his functions due to the challenges of wartime. In addition, F. Roosevelt’s «personal diplomacy» and distrust of «foggy bottom» workers contributed to the decline in the authority and importance of the State Department in shaping the country’s foreign policy. It was for this purpose – to streamline the activities of the State Department and to put things in order inside of the structure – F. Roosevelt appointed E. Stettinius to the post of Deputy Secretary of State, and after the next fourth victory in the presidential election, he replaced then Secretary of State Cordell Hull. It is emphasized that E. Stettinius «correctly» understood his place in the issues of forming the foreign policy of the country. He did not interfere with F. Roosevelt’s «personal diplomacy», but at the same time he was always close and put his ideas into practice (as an example, the creation of the UN). And while the president was shaping the course of the country, he, E. Stettinius, was shaping the course for reorganizing the State Department.

Authors: Dobrokhotova Ju. E. , Kalimatova D. M. , Ilyina I. Yu.
Published: July 2020

Aim: to assess the effectiveness of using dienogest in combination with postoperative interventions in patients with endometriosis.

Materials and methods. There were enrolled 102 patients with signs of external endometriosis underwent examination and surgical treatment, subdivided into 2 groups: 67 – main group (after surgical treatment, received dienogest 2 mg/day for 6 months), 35 – comparison group received no hormone therapy in the postoperative period. Surgical treatment included removal of endometrioid ovarian cysts, endometriosis foci on the pelvic peritoneum and sacral uterine ligaments. Course of the early postoperative period (up to 1 month after the intervention) as well as the long-term dynamics of the disease manifestations (3, 6, 12 and 15 months later) were assessed.

Results. Dienogest was administered after surgical treatment due to endometriosis that reduced the severity of dyspareunia and intensity of chronic pelvic pain by 3.5- and 2-fold, respectively. The probability of achieving control over uterine bleeding 6 month after the onset of treatment due to endometriosis manifested with metrorrhagia showed that combination treatment (consisting of dienogest) was 3.19-fold higher compared to surgical treatment alone (OR = 3.19; 95 % CI = 1.70–11,0; p < 0,05). Recovery of normal menstrual cycle in 63 (94.0%) women of the main group was established 1.5–2 months after completing of hormonal treatment, while in the comparison group pain and dysmenorrhea relapsed in some patients at the 6-month follow-up. Decreased libido as a side effect in patients who treated with dienogest was observed in 2 (3.0 %) women.

Conclusion. Dienogest was highly effective in the combination treatment of patients with verified endometriosis that resulted in reduced severity of pain and metrorrhagia. The drug was featured by low level of side effects. Thus, a combination treatment of endometriosis containing dienogest at a dose of 2 mg/day applied during postoperative period allows to reduce the severity of the disease clinical manifestations and improve treatment outcome.

On “shapelings” and “childlings”: a linguistics approach to the emergence of new cultural borders between the unborn and the new-born child in EME (1500-1700)
Authors: Tejada-Caller Paloma
Published: July 2020

This contribution aims at exploring the emergence of early-age stereotypes in Early Modern England from a Cultural Linguistics approach to Age Studies, using the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary as a corpus. Results demonstrate that during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a new intersubjective conceptualization of embryos and new-borns emerged in English, confirming a more general social perception of the child as an autonomous human being. Moreover, the combined analysis of newly created synonyms for both embryos and infants in Early Modern English (EME) seems to suggest the existence of a temporary cultural understanding of infancy, later failed by the preponderance of science over subjective perceptions. Under this EME construal the current borders separating the unborn and the new-born seem to have been remapped.
Has True Romance Disappeared in Consumer Society? A Morinian and Baudrillardian Reflection of the Acute Crisis of Simulation
Authors: Moser Keith
Published: July 2020

In the context of the transdisciplinary philosophy of Edgar Morin and Jean Baudrillard, this essay delves into the gap between image and reality that has further problematized the elusive quest for love and companionship living in a technologized world. Both thinkers persuasively maintain that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the postmodern subject to establish any kind of meaningful affective bond with another person due to the proliferation of idealistic images of romance that bombard us from all sides in the digital age. According to Morin and Baudrillard, celebrities play an important hegemonic role in the transmission of pervasive hyperreal fiction denoting utopian signs of love that stand in for true romance in the collective imagination of the consumer citizen. In a post‐Marxist landscape in which the incessant reproduction of commercial simulacra is paramount for the survival of the capitalist paradigm, these unconventional philosophers and sociologists explain that simulated reality is the most oppressive and effective form of social control ever conceived.

“But If It Dies, It Produces Many Seeds”: Ritual Sacrifice in the Film Midsommar and the Spanish Bullfight
Authors: Meijer Danielle
Published: July 2020

What viewers tend to find most disturbing about Ari Aster's 2019 film, Midsommar, is that the rural Swedish community at the heart of the narrative not only engages in violent ritual human and animal sacrifice, but does so joyfully. There is a parallel here with how many view Spanish bullfighting. How, outsiders ask in both instances, could a culture take pleasure in the spectacle of watching a creature needlessly murdered in a ritualized way? I wish to call into question the word “needlessly” here, thinking through the ways in which in order for some to live, others must always die. In most civilizations today, both human and animal death are institutionalized, privatized, and hidden away. As a result, the necessity of this death is also obscured. Arguing from the viewpoint of a vegan animal liberation activist who also happens to be a torera, I discuss in this essay how the fiction of Midsommar and the reality of bullfighting reveal both the horror of sacrifice and its potential moral necessity.
Twitter in the Courtroom: Do You Object?
Authors: Judge Regina
Published: July 2020

Twitter is a powerful communication tool that allows for the instantaneous dissemination of information to millions of people across the globe. Journalists have begun to use it to report on the day‐to‐day occurrences of trials in courtrooms across America. It provides a faster, more efficient means of transmitting information to the public concerning the judicial system. Some see it, however, as a threat to defendants right to a fair trial. Apprehension stems from the fact that it could be distracting for jurors and other trial participants to view an individual in the courtroom using their cell phone to report on a case. Jurors might be preoccupied with reporters pecking away at their phones or laptop computers rather than with the testimony at hand.
Susan Sontag's Melancholy Object in the Wake of (Post‐)Postmodernism: A Case Study of the Portrait of Klein by Hannah Diamond
Authors: Schraeyen Senne
Published: July 2020

This article is a close reading of a photograph by Hannah Diamond. The work is analyzed using updated versions of Susan Sontag's Melancholy Object theory in a postmodern and post‐postmodern society. Diamond's work is a variant of Melancholy Objects: a postmodern Melancholy Object, an image that is made to evoke feelings of nostalgia. This makes Diamond's practice an interesting case to magnify contemporary pop culture's interest in nostalgia and postmodernism, despite Sontag's and post‐postmodernists' critiques.

Pitiless Cruelty: Cynicism, Capitalism, and Gambling in the Writing of Mario Puzo
Authors: Schwartz David G.
Published: July 2020

The Godfather made him a wealthy man, but Mario Puzo's long years as a struggling writer and childhood in New York City's Hell's Kitchen conditioned him to treat money—and those who made a great deal of it—with suspicion. This paper explores how Puzo's cynical views of capitalism were buttressed by his experiences as a self‐described “mildly degenerate” gambling, and how they are expressed in both his fiction and non‐fiction.
Linguo-pragmatic parameters of the English medical scientific minitexts
Authors: Golubykh A. A.
Published: July 2020

This paper proposes the linguo-pragmatic analysis of English medical abstracts within scientific discourse. Both scientific medical advancement and increasingly larger role of scientific discourse as a source of authentic evidence-based knowledge motivated this research. Evidence-based medicine is gaining importance and, as a result, becomes quite popular. Its foundations are becoming the methodological framework in scientific medical research. Advances in understanding of medical science cause the creation of new medical terms which enrich the concept medicine. This study seeks to reveal and systematize linguo-pragmatic characteristics of the concept medicine within the boundaries of scientific discourse. We focus on the analysis of medical scientific minitexts, abstracts in particular, because they perform both informative and pragmatic functions. The empirical study is based upon the modern scientific articles from top-rated medicine journals BMC Medicine, BMJ Open, The Lancet Infectious Diseases and includes such methods as data collection and analysis, description and classification of material, semantic and conceptual analysis accompanied by discourse analysis. One important finding is that according to the most popular themes of medical studies we can find the main trends in the evolution of modern medicine. Another remarkable result is that the medical linguistic markers under consideration form the concept medicine mainly nominating diseases, diagnostic techniques, medical studies and trials as well as medical scientific models. It is interesting to note that the highest human values life and healthlie at the heart of medical trials and form their pragmatic potential. Further analysis showed that the authors use of word compression, abbreviation, stylistic devices (metaphors, metonyms and allusions) and graphic design (quotation marks and italic type), which are the most popular and vivid linguo-pragmatic features of abstracts in English-language medical articles contributes to pragmatic potential of the texts under study and makes them appealing to the reader.
Genre typology of German town chronicles of the Late Medieval and Early Modern period
Authors: Dunaev A. E.
Published: July 2020

In Early New High German, a realignment and enrichment of the genre system of German literature language took place. A key role belonged in this period (that is, XV and XVI centuries) to the historiography, in the first place town chronicles. They developed, among other sources, out of the annals and other administrative writings and took their origin both in the need of upper social groups in legitimization of town structures and their general interest in history. Generally, there are two types of town chronicles, that is, official ones, which were written at the request of the town hall, and private ones. Legitimization, informing, didactic and even entertaining functions were proper to both types, but with different priority: whereas for the official chronicles, legitimization and documentation were the primary functions, for the private ones, informing and entertaining played main role. The chronicles were characterized by the syncretism and intertextuality, which means that they included charts, acts and other official documents (or their fragments) in their narrative structure. There was some difference between the authors and recipients of official chronicles, on the one hand, and these of private chronicles, on the other hand: whereas the authors of the first type were usually town scribes or highly-educated clerics, the private chronicles could also be written by ordinary citizens. Many official chronicles were initially intended for a limited circle of magistrates and not for a wide reception. For the language of town chronicles, a strong evaluative component was essential. The language of chronicles was based on the author's individual style and could vary in a wide range: from clear syntactical structures with predominance of hypotaxis and rich arsenal of stylistic means up to a plain parataxis with a simple enumeration of facts and events. Frequent use of adverbial modifiers with temporal meaning was typical. In the eyes of contemporaries, the chronicles were not exactly a genre, but rather a written history.
National identity and its verbal reflection in the English media discourse
Authors: Mosyagina M. S.
Published: July 2020

The article analyzes the reflection of national identity in modern English-language media discourse. Nowadays the problem of national identity is one of foreground issues in the field of humanistic knowledge, however, it has usually escaped the attention of linguists. Meanwhile, it was pointed out many times in linguistic literature that there is an increasing trend towards all national in the context of globalization in the world today. Consideration of national identity based on the linguistic approach undertaken in this article contributes to both the introduction of national identity issues in the field of linguistic analysis and the establishment of its specificity in the English-language media discourse. News media texts fragments of The Independent and The Guardian dated 2019 were analyzed in this article. It demonstrates the novelty and relevance of the research. In order to clarify linguistic framework for the analysis the linguistic concept of identification was clarified as a correlation of an individual with a social group or ethnic and social community. The approach to genres differentiation of media discourse was developed under this article. It was especially emphasized that identified linguistic methods for actualization of national identity relate only to the genre of news reports which are characterized as non-subjective. Nevertheless, the author finds ways of expressing his/her complicity in British nation by means of modality and through the selection of quotes that correspond to his/her understanding of events. As a result, it all turns out to be a means of authors national self-identification in terms of its solidarity with the authors of quotations as representatives of the British nation. This study was carried out with the use of the contextual method, the descriptive method and the method of communicative analysis which made it possible to identify a variety of means representing the national identity of the author.
Emission policy of the pre-revolutionary (tsarist) government of Russia during the First World War and its consequences: facts and figures
Authors: Gvozdkov Yu. Yu.
Published: July 2020

The study is focused on the policy of the pre-revolutionary (tsarist) government of Russia in the field of issuance of paper currency in view of situation around the First World War. Against the background of major historical events and the economic situation general analysis, the article reveals the reasons for the changes in the currency issuing policy in Russia, identifies and traces the consequences of this policy in the view of changes in the financial system, as well as in the transformation of money circulation. It is proved that, recognizing the participation in the war as an emergency requiring significant financial reserves the government was forced to prohibit the exchange of banknotes for gold, and to give the State Bank the right to additional issue of currency. Based on the statistical data analysis, it is found that the repeated extension to the State Bank of the right to issue non-gold-covered paper currency not only provided Russia with a source of funding for the war, but, together with other factors, led to inflation. The main goal of the study is to confirm that the change in Russias approach to currency issuance in connection with participation in the war and focusing on budget deficiency coverage by issuing money became one of the main reasons for the subsequent crisis phenomena and processes occurred in the country's economy. The study is based on regulations and statistical data of the considered period involving the work of leading economists of the beginning of the XX century, containing information about the liquidity creation policy in Russia during the years of its participation in the First World War. The paper concluded that the change in the liquidity creation policy in Russia and its continuation in the course of Russias participation in the First World War was due only to the need to reimburse the financial costs caused by participation in the War. At the same time, such policy subsequently led to a disorganization of currency circulation and the entire financial system, negatively affecting the economy of the country as a whole.

Authors: Kabytov P. S. , Dubman E. L. , Kabytova N. N. , Leontieva O. B. , Smirnov Yu. N.
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the article is to summarize the intermediate historiographic results of the study of the history of the Samara Region (pre-revolutionary period). The study is based on the historiographic sources, i.e. monographs, collective works, scholarly articles, conference materials, as well as textbooks and popular science publications on the history of the Samara region. On the base of the historiographic analysis of these works, the authors distinguish several stages of studying the history of the Samara region, characterize the main trends in the development of regional history studies, and identify the changes in thematic priorities and methodological approaches to studying regional history at each of these stages. The history of studying the Samara Region is reviewed in the context of formation of historical education system and research institutions in Samara, the development of the local history movement, the appearance of periodicals on local history, and the organization of scholarly conferences on regional history. The authors prove that, at present, the development of new research methodology has allowed regional science to reach a qualitatively new level, to proceed with the creation of generalizing works and encyclopedic publications on the history of the region; a significant role in coordinating this work belongs to the historians of Samara University. Studying the history of the Samara Region has become interdisciplinary in its character; the cooperation of representatives of various humanitarian specialties, historians, and local history experts is an important condition for inspiring the readers with interest and love for the history of their homeland. In the final part of the article the authors outline possible prospects for the further development of regional history.

Authors: Winter Ana Cristina , Menegotto Lisiane Machado de Oliveira , Zucchetti Dinora Tereza
Published: July 2020

O artigo busca evidenciar a vulnerabilidade de crianças e adolescentes no Brasil, num movimento de reflexão a partir da desigualdade social, na perspectiva do acesso à educação partindo de estudos bibliográficos, análise de Leis e dados sobre a realidade brasileira. Apresenta questões que versam sobre o conceito de vulnerabilidade no viés da assistência social e da importância das políticas públicas para as populações menos favorecidas, além de observar o quanto situações vulnerabilizadoras passam a ser um obstáculo para a conclusão do ensino básico de crianças e adolescentes, acentuando a exclusão social.  Nessa perspectiva, o trabalho intersetorial, em que a proposição do diálogo e da comunicação sejam fatores fundamentais entre educação, assistência social e saúde, possibilita que crianças e adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade social, que demandam por políticas públicas, permaneçam na escola e concluam a educação básica, degrau, mesmo que mínimo, na escala da cidadania.
A ausência da atividade fiscalizadora na lei geral de proteção de dados pessoais e sua ineficácia
Authors: Andrade Diogo De Calasans Melo , Arcieri Barreto Roberta Hora
Published: July 2020

O Brasil passou a compor o rol de países que possuem legislação específica voltada à proteção de dados pessoais na rede mundial de computadores. Trata-se da Lei n. 13.709 aprovada em agosto de 2018, cujo veto do Presidente da República contra a criação de um ente fiscalizador denominado Autoridade Nacional da Proteção de Dados e posterior edição de Medida Provisória, traz incertezas quando a eficácia da Lei. Assim, o presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar, por meio da análise crítica da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, considerações a respeito da eficácia ou ineficácia da Lei, inicialmente diante da ausência da figura administrativa independente que exerceria a atividade fiscalizadora e em seguida, diante de um órgão fiscalizador ligado à Presidência da República. A metodologia recorreu a abordagem qualitativa do problema, sendo a pesquisa de natureza exploratória, utilizando-se do procedimento de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com a análise de doutrinas, documentos, legislações e demais textos científicos pertinentes à temática, para ao final concluir que, em que pese a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados tenha sido alicerçada no conjunto de leis vigentes sobre o tema, não terá a mesma efetividade adquirida na União Europeia, uma vez que a Autoridade Fiscalizadora autonômica é o que fundamenta toda a estrutura normativa da proteção de dados hodiernamente defendida no Brasil.
Proteção jurídica da existencialidade
Authors: Diniz Maria Helena
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo procurar-se-á analisar, brevemente, a necessidade de reparação do dano existencial para proteger a dignidade humana já que tal dano abrange qualquer lesão a direito fundamental ou a direito da personalidade, que cause frustração a algum projeto de vida e reprogramação de atividades cotidianas. O dano existencial diz respeito ao “não mais poder fazer”, “a dever agir de outro modo”, ou até mesmo à perda de uma chance, logo pode ser considerado um “tertium genus” na seara da responsabilidade civil, distinto do dano patrimonial ou moral. O dano existencial é indenizável porque ninguém tem o direito de modificar a vida das pessoas, tirando-lhe as expectativas ou a realização de seus desejos.

The Changing Perception of the African Woman towards Patriarchy and Masculinity
Authors: Arrey-Ngang Taku Catherine
Published: July 2020

Patriarchy is a social structure in which men are the primary holders of power, and are preponderate in roles of local authority, political leadership, economic power and control of property. Several African literary productions focus on the suffering of women in such patriarchal setup with men being very domineering and women oppressed; the man is always at the helm with the woman being the silent observer. In most cases, property and family name are passed down within the male line of inheritance. Basically, men are in charge. This article however exposes the changing awareness of today’s African woman from one who is governed to being more in control of her surroundings. Using two African plays: Ola Rotimi’s Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again and Anne Tanyi Tang’s Eneta vs Elimo, we argue that women have evolved from being disenfranchised dependents and voiceless recipients to assertive and productive contributors in their families and society. Deconstruction and Nego-feminism are applied here to reveal how women negotiate their way through patriarchy as a means of achieving their goals of empowerment and determination to effect socio-political change.
