El reasentamiento: ¿Un eslabón suelto para cumplir con los objetivos del desarrollo sostenible?
Authors: Vásquez Santamaría Jorge Eduardo , Castro-Buitrago Erika
Published: September 2022

La ciudad es uno de los escenarios en los que toman forma los compromisos asumidos por el Estado en el marco de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), aquellos que la Agenda 2030 impuso a los gobiernos para articular sus fines, funciones e instrumentos de gestión con el fin de alcanzar la sostenibilidad. En ese contexto, este artículo tiene como propósito hacer un análisis crítico de la articulación entre la gestión del riesgo de desastres, el ordenamiento territorial y el derecho ambiental en la atención de los procesos de reasentamiento en el marco del derecho a la Ciudad para alcanzar la realización de los ODS en Colombia, bajo la premisa de la necesidad de la articulación jurídica y política de las decisiones que desde estos ámbitos se requiere para gestionar la vulnerabilidad de la población que afronta los impactos del cambio climático en las ciudades. Se empleó el modelo cualitativo, respaldado en el enfoque histórico hermenéutico y en el enfoque dogmático jurídico, además de seguir una interpretación sistemática. Se evidencia que, en el campo del derecho internacional, aunque no exista una normativa unificada y vinculante, si se han entregado las claves para la sistematización de los diferentes regímenes y la articulación institucional necesaria para plantear un encuadre conceptual del reasentamiento como medida de protección de derechos con claras obligaciones para las autoridades que permitan la realización de los ODS.

Published: September 2022

Solving the problem of agricultural water use efficiency is an effective means to understand the agricultural ecological civilization and food security. In order to balance the relationship between agricultural water efficiency and regional economic size, this study examines the agricultural water use efficiency in China based on the Super-SBM model of unexpected output. At the same time, the Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) was introduced to analyze the spatial spillover effect and try to find ways to improve agricultural water use efficiency from the perspective of influencing factors. The present study used the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 1998 to 2018 to obtain empirical results. The results show that (1) China's agricultural water resources’ utilization efficiency in 21 years has not remained high: the results showed that it was 0.496 in 1998, 0.572 in 2008, and 0.657 in 2018, but it is slowly rising which explains that the low efficiency is mainly caused by the low pure technical efficiency. (2) The overall agricultural water use efficiency in China is in a situation of spatial agglomeration but there has been a trend of shifting positive correlations to negative correlations among neighboring provinces. It found that in 1998, the sum of the number of `High-high agglomeration type' and `low-low agglomeration type' provinces was 20, and the sum of `low-high agglomeration type' and `high-low agglomeration type' provinces was 10. In 2018, the total number of `high-high agglomeration type' and `low-low agglomeration type' provinces decreased to 12, while the total number of `low-high agglomeration type' and `high-low agglomeration type' provinces increased to 18, which specifically manifested as a negative spillover effect. (3) During the research period, the province's agricultural fixed asset investment, fiscal expenditure on agriculture, forestry, and water affairs, the number of years of education of rural residents and the increase in crop sown area have positive impacts on the efficiency of agricultural water use in the province. Meanwhile the transfer of labor and increase in the disposable income of rural residents reduced the efficiency of agricultural water use in the province. Fixed agricultural investment, labor transfers, and financial expenditures for agriculture, forestry, and water affairs in neighboring provinces have negative impacts on the province's agricultural water use efficiency. The impact is specifically manifested as a negative spatial spillover effect. As a result, China's agriculture will move towards healthy and green development. Therefore, the efficiency of agricultural water use needs to be comprehensively improved.
The role of degree of opening in comprehensive water efficiency, derived from SHAN model
Authors: Shan Huang , Ying Kong
Published: September 2022

China's reform and opening-up strongly impact its local water resources. The most frequently stated problems are water supply scarcity and pollution issues in China's Yangtze River. What is not yet clear is the correlation between comprehensive water efficiency and its sub-stage efficiencies, water utility efficiency, and water governance efficiency. This study aims to investigate water utility and water governance together. This paper provides a fresh perspective on developing an improved DEA method called the SHAN model that evaluates and decomposes the comprehensive water efficiency to water utility efficiency and water governance efficiency for 30 cities in the Yangtze River Basin from 2005 to 2015. The SHAN model is a modified RAM Network DEA model with the extra consideration of Super SBM and undesirable output. A Tobit model will be adopted to analyze the relationship between comprehensive water efficiency and its sub-stages. This paper uses panel quantile regression to investigate the impact of the degree of opening and other efficiency determinants. The results show that the value of comprehensive water efficiencies in most cities along the Yangtze River Basin are lower than 1, as well as the water utility efficiencies and water governance efficiencies. The results indicate that the government should significantly improve water resource utilization and pollution problems. The findings also show that the degree of opening, population density, GDP per capita, urbanization, and industrial structure positively influence comprehensive water efficiency. Population urbanization lag has negative impacts on the comprehensive water efficiency. The Tobit regression results show that the water resource utilization efficiency and water resource management efficiency are 1.435 and 0.227, respectively. This result indicates that the water utility stage has a more significant effect on comprehensive water efficiency.

Published: September 2022

This study focused on the water quality of a river in Wuhan City, China, which is surrounded by ponds that were transformed into a bypass multipond wetland system to improve river water quality. The bypass multipond wetland system included surface-flow artificial wetlands, modified partition ponds, aeration reoxygenation ponds, ecological ponds, and other processes. After the stable operation of the process, the water transparency was higher than 60 cm and the dissolved oxygen (DO) was higher than 5 mg/L, while the ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration was less than 1.0 mg/L, total phosphorus (TP) was lower than 0.2 mg/L, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was lower than 20 mg/L, achieving the treatment target. After monitoring the results of each process, the process which best enhanced the water transparency enhancement was the surface-flow of the artificial wetlands and ecological ponds. The aeration reoxygenation pond had the best effect on DO enhancement. The processes that most affected NH3-N and TP removal were the surface-flow artificial wetlands and ecological ponds. The modified parthenogenic pond had the greatest effect on COD removal. The bypass multipond wetland system not only improved the river water quality but also enhanced the river landscape, and can act as a reference for similar river water quality improvement actions.

Published: September 2022

Trace elements were suggested to have a main role in modulating cognitive function. However,
there are several controversial findings regarding the association between serum trace element
concentration and cognitive function in patients with cognitive disorders. Thus, this study aimed to
evaluate the changes in serum trace element concentrations in elderly with cognitive dysfunction versus
the participants with normal cognitive function. This cross-sectional study included 191 older
adults over 60 years from Birjand County, Iran. Participants were assessed for cognitive performance
and serum trace elements concentration, including aluminum (AL), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd),
Chrome (Cr), copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn).
Our findings showed no significant difference in the serum concentration of AL, Co, Cr, Zn, Fe, Mg,
Mn, and Se of elderly with cognitive dysfunction versus the subjects with normal cognitive function.
However, the concentration of Cu significantly increased in the serum of the elderly with cognitive
dysfunction versus participants with normal function. In conclusion, our study indicated an increase in
the serum concentration of Cu in the elderly with cognitive dysfunction in the sample of the Birjand
Longitudinal Aging Study. However, due to the main limitations of our study, including low sample
size and cross-section design, these findings should be interpreted with caution.

Authors: Siewchaisakul Pallop , Nanthanangkul Sirinya , Longkul Jirapat , Sarakarn Pongdech , Wungrath Jukkrit
Published: September 2022

Introduction:

Few studies have developed tools to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine literacy (VL), especially in Asia. In this study, an online tool was utilized to assess COVID-19 VL, vaccine fear (VF), vaccine hesitancy (VH), and vaccine acceptance (VA) among village health volunteers (VHVs) in Thailand.

Methods:

A cross-sectional online questionnaire was distributed to 210 VHVs between 10th to 14th September, 2021 to assess their VL, VF, VH, and VA levels. Item objective congruence (IOC) and Cronbach’s alpha were used to estimate the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The two-independent sample t-test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were employed to compare differences between the scores. Pearson correlation and Spearman’s rank correlation were used to estimate the correlation of the scores.

Results:

The online questionnaire showed high validity, with IOC values over 0.70 and reliability over 0.87 for all items. Median scores of VL, VF, and VH for the 210 participants were high (VL 2.92 and VF 2.5 out of a maximum of 4, and VH 2.43 out of a maximum of 5). The mean VA score was low (0.21 out of a maximum of 1) and significantly different between demographic variables. A significant correlation was found between VL and VH and VF and VA.

Conclusion:

The online questionnaire showed high values of validity and reliability. This tool proved to be beneficial for evaluating VL, VF, VH, and VA in Thailand. Further studies using a larger population are required to verify these results.

“It’s improved the whole lifestyle”: Exploring the family perspective of participation in a Gavel Club for people with aphasia
Authors: Lyon Grace , McCann Clare M. , Purdy Suzanne C. , Moore Celia
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Aphasia impacts not just the individual with aphasia, but also their family members and friends. Known as third-party disability, it is largely hidden but can be as pervasive as aphasia itself. Gavel Clubs are a Toastmasters International-affiliated group where members participate in public-speaking tasks. Participation has been associated with improvements in quality-of-life and communication confidence but the extent to which it can impact family members of people with aphasia is not yet known. This study explored family member perspectives of participation in a Gavel Club for people with aphasia, to reveal any benefits or challenges perceived by family members and/or close friends.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 13 family members or close friends of people with aphasia who regularly participated in a weekly Gavel Club. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.Results: Three themes were identified: (1) Something to do, (2) Sense of community and (3) I can see great improvements, along with two subthemes (i) This is not just us and (ii) Support of knowing other people go through it. The themes reflected a largely positive experience of Gavel Club participation as perceived by family members. The theme names were derived from quotes from the participants.Conclusions: Regular participation in a Gavel Club for people with aphasia has a positive impact beyond just the person with aphasia, extending to their family members and close friends. This impact can be direct, if the family members themselves participate, or indirect, through the perceived benefits for the person with aphasia.

Authors: Lee Eun Kyoung
Published: September 2022

Purpose: This study compares the degree of metaphor and reasoning comprehension development of three groups by evaluating the metaphor and reasoning comprehension of children with language development delay, children with matching language age, and children with matching chronological age.Methods: The subjects of the study were 15 children with delayed language development, 15 children with matching chronological age, and 15 children with matching language age. In order to find out their understanding of metaphors and reasoning, the test was conducted by presenting a stimulus plan with three stimulation pictures on one panel in which a subject selects a corresponding picture from the three pictures according to the inspector’s verbal instruction. The test consists of 70 questions, and the stimulus picture of metaphor and reasoning comprehension consists of figurative, dictionary, and inappropriate content.Results: Metaphor and reasoning comprehension was tested with the contents of metaphor ability based on substantive objects and metaphor ability based on abstract objects, with the following results. First, there was a significant difference between these groups as a result of comparing the development of metaphor and reasoning comprehension of children with delayed language development, children with matching language age, and children with matching chronological age. Second, there was no difference in metaphor and inference comprehension between the children’s group with language development delay and the children’s group with matching chronological age as they both showed high performance and their metaphor and inference comprehension was homogeneous. Third, as a result of comparing the metaphorical abilities of the children’s group with language development delay and the other children’s groups, it was found that an intervention program is needed to improve the metaphor and reasoning comprehension of children with language development delay. In particular, it is necessary to develop an arbitration method, which focuses on conceptualizing light abstract ideas, to improve their metaphor and reasoning comprehension.Conclusions: Based on this result, systematic intervention according to the degree of development of metaphor and reasoning ability is necessary to improve the social communication ability of children with delayed language development.

Published: September 2022

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), is one of the myeloproliferative disorders with a characteristic cytogenetic abnormality resulting in the BCR-ABL fusion gene. Imatinib Mesylate is an effective agent for treating patients in all stages of CML. According to the annual Iraqi cancer registry 2019, the total number of chronic myeloproliferative disorders was 338. The percentage and incidence rates were 0.94% and 0.86%, respectively, with a higher incidence rate in males than females (1.12 in males and 0.60 in females). In this registry, no details about CML, so this study aimed to estimate the number of CML patients who attended the national center of hematology from 2005 until 2020 and investigate their epidemiological and clinic-pathological data. All data were obtained from the National Center of Hematology /Baghdad. Data regarding annual admission, number of deaths, and information about age, regions, and sex, were collected from patient cards. Interview and history taking from the patient and reviewing their clinical features at diagnosis were performed, and then statistical analysis was achieved. Two hundred sixteen patients were registered as CML; among them, 163 are still alive, while 53 died. The mean age at diagnosis was 40.39 ±14.30, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.16. The pediatrics age group comprises 3.7% of total cases and 1.8 % and 9.4% in the alive and dead groups, respectively. The percentages of death were higher in the pediatric age group, 62,5%( 5 /8), followed by the patient group who were ≥60 years, 42.1%(8/19), while it was the least in adults < 60 years, 21.1% (40/189). In conclusion, the studied patients with CML were younger than the globally reported ages at diagnosis, with predominant female patients. Females had better survival, while children and the elderly were the worse. Most patients were symptomatic at diagnosis; however, a good outcome is achieved when treated with IM.

Strategies for English as the second language for Rural Students-A Task Based Approach
Authors: Annam Dr. R.
Published: September 2022

Today situation in colleges, students from rural areas suffered a lot for learning English as second Language Since most of the students are first generation learners, English language seems to be an alien to them. Our examination system is such that it makes students rote memorization rather than testing their analytical and creative skills. Acquisition of mother tongue is natural phenomenon but learning of secondary language can be hampered by social, cultural background and level of awareness of students. Task Based activities are set up with social situations so that students can have meaningful discussions with one another. Group work is the indispensable Task-Based Learning, this type of classroom arrangement creates a completely different atmosphere from that of a traditional teacher centered class, Task-Based Language Teaching is successful in developing the speaking skills of learners. It has been accepted as an effective Language Teaching Methodology for developing the purpose driven communicative language which is built around the use of real-world tasks. Present paper focuses on the problem of rural student by analyzing critical factors and the methodology to follow for the rural students.
SVEOBUHVATNI (NE)SPORAZUM: IRAN KAO NOVA NUKLEARNA SILA
Authors: Stojanovic Bogdan
Published: September 2022

U radu se analizira iranski nuklearni program, sa posebnim akcentom na period od 2005. do danas. Osnovna hipoteza koja se dokazuje glasi: Iran je tokom 2022. godine dostigao latentne nuklearne kapacitete zbog čega se može govoriti o novoj nuklearnoj sili u međunarodnim odnosima. Teorijsku osnovu rada čini realizam uz naglašavanje određenih efekata normi u međunarodnim odnosima. Od naučnih metoda primenjivena je pretežno analiza sadržaja, u manjoj meri biografska i komparativna metoda. Cilj istraživanja je jedan drugačiji uvid u iranski nuklearni program. Osim dokazivanja osnovne hipoteze, rad ima ambiciju da analizira nuklearni sporazum sa Iranom i prezentuje argumente o nemogućnosti njegovog obnavljanja. U radu se objašnjava nesposobnost bilo kakvog međunarodnog ugovora da spreči ili odloži iransku nuklearnu bombu. Dodatni cilj istraživanja jeste analiza posledica nuklearnog statusa Irana uz dokazivanje tvrdnje da iranska bomba unosi dozu stabilnosti u odnos sa Izraelom. Iran je postizanjem latentnih nuklearnih kapaciteta isključio američko-izraelska razmatranja za spoljnu intervenciju poput onih u Iraku, Avganistanu i Libiji. U radu su otvorena i pitanja za neka nova istraživanja: da li će nastati novi nuklearni programi na Bliskom istoku, da li će Iran voditi agresivniju spoljnu politiku, kao i kakav je efekat nuklearno naoružanog Irana na globalne odnose.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: High performance concrete is made using byproducts called cement replacement materials. Comparatively little information has been published regarding the results of different Effects of mineral admixtures on concrete's microstructural and team performance characteristics under various curing regimes. Additionally, it is unclear how concrete's strength relates to its conductivity and porous structure. Workability of the new concrete as well as engineering characteristics like cube and revised cube compressive strength and flexural strength were among the properties examined. The findings demonstrate that lanaba dry curing makes concretes weaker, more porous, with a increased pore size, and more permeable. It was discovered that tiny amounts of silica fume can make up for the reduction early in life compressive strength caused by the insertion of bagasse ash from sugar cane. With increasing concentrations of sugar cane bagasse ash or slag in the mixtures, the microstructural and engineering characteristics and concrete's capacity to breathe that contain them they seem to be more vulnerable to inadequate than concrete cubes for curing.

Published: September 2022

Objectives The purposes of this study is to explore The purpose of this study is to explore what middle-aged men are experiencing while using YouTube.
Methods A case study using in-depth interviews was conducted on six middle-aged men who had watched YouTube three to five times a week or had experience running YouTube Channel. In order to secure validity and reliability, triangular verification and member check were performed through research interview records.
Results For middle-aged men, the meaning of the experience of using YouTube was ‘personalization’. Among the study participants are YouTube channel operators and non-channel operators. Specifically, it was derived from the psychological personalization of “space to enjoy rest when you want” and “self-protection without exposing yourself,” economic personalization of “free learning center” and “preparation for the future,” and “a tool for communication for social exchange” and “a window for promoting existence.” YouTube channel operators usually act as media producers, but the participants in this study were mainly using YouTube as a consumer of information as they did not consistently operate their channels.
Conclusions Through the voices of middle-aged men, they expanded their understanding of YouTube use. Since it suggests that media literacy education, which helps determine whether media information is true, is also required for middle-aged men, who are analog generations, media literacy education for them needs to be continuously conducted in terms of lifelong education. This study is believed to be meaningful in that it is used as basic data for designing and operating media literacy education for middle-aged men.

The imposition of conditions on extradition and the judicial acceptance of the use of assurances to address risks of unfair treatment or an unfair trial in a foreign state leads to a need to expand the role for the Minister of Foreign Affairs in matters of extradition. Using extradition from Canada as an example, this article recognizes that arguments of speed and efficiency have long given the Minister of Justice the determinative role in deciding whether a wanted person should be surrendered to another state. This concentration of power has not, however, sped up extradition in controversial cases, such as those concerning the extradition of Canadian citizens many years after the commission of the alleged crimes, and those involving crimes of a transnational nature that could be prosecuted in either Canada or another state. With the use of conditions and assurances as the means to improve the fairness of extradition, there is a need to make use of the expertise that resides within a foreign ministry to determine their content, appraise their credibility and reliability, and monitor their post-extradition performance. Amending the Extradition Act to require the justice minister to consult with the foreign affairs minister after the receipt of an extradition request and before ordering surrender is a recommended reform.
Desafios metodológicos para uma etnografia de arquivos: escavando arquivos pós-coloniais em Moçambique
Authors: Triana Bruna
Published: September 2022

Neste ensaio, apresento uma reflexão sobre os desafios metodológicos para a realização de uma etnografia de arquivos a partir do relato reflexivo de uma experiência de pesquisa em dois arquivos institucionais moçambicanos – o Arquivo Histórico de Moçambique (AHM) e o Centro de Documentação e Formação Fotográfica (CDFF). A partir de uma descrição de itinerários trilhados ao longo da investigação, analiso os procedimentos metodológicos desenvolvidos no trabalho de campo em arquivos. Ao tratar o arquivo como espaço vivo e dinâmico, de contestação e disputa, examino as disposições contextuais e políticas que operam nesses espaços, a fim de tensionar os marcos epistemológicos hegemônicos que enquadram o arquivo como local de salvaguarda da história. O objetivo é problematizar desafios, impasses, potencialidades e implicações de algumas táticas de pesquisa em arquivos.
Duas vezes Jorge: o silenciamento como permanência do autoritarismo na República Dominicana
Authors: Macedo Victor Miguel Castillo de
Published: September 2022

Neste artigo analiso a ausência de transição política na República Dominicana da década de 1960 através de fragmentos da vida de um revolucionário e seu filho. Este é um desdobramento de minha tese sobre ex-combatentes da Revolução de Abril de 1965 em Santo Domingo, capital do país. Durante a pesquisa de campo, conheci pessoalmente o senhor que era um pré-adolescente quando foi preso em 1967 pelo serviço secreto do governo de Joaquín Balaguer (1966-1978). A história, comentada nos jornais da época, levanta um problema quanto ao entendimento atual do que foi a revolução: se para muitos dos ex-combatentes foi bem-sucedida e hoje é reconhecida pelo governo dominicano como uma efeméride pátria, parte de seus efeitos foram silenciados. A transição democrática esperada pelos revolucionários se transformou em 12 anos de tirania, mesmo tendo sido chancelada pelo voto popular. O caso traz a chave temporal dos efeitos estendidos do pós-revolução de 1965, o retorno do autoritarismo e sua diluição num regime supostamente democrático. Meu objetivo é demonstrar que nas trajetórias desses revolucionários se encontram fragmentos e enredos que permitem um entendimento das permanências do autoritarismo na República Dominicana.
PORNOGRAFIA DE VINGANÇA NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO-PENAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Nascimento Maia Mariana , Baioni do Nascimento Rafael
Published: September 2022

Tendo em vista a emergência de novas formas de violência de gênero, pesquisamos sobre a pornografia de vingança, a fim de destacar os principais impactos sociojurídicos e psicológicos sobre as vítimas. Para tanto examinamos conceitos fundamentais da teoria de gênero como dispositivo da sexualidade, performatividade de gênero e farmacopornografia, bem como investigamos o tratamento jurídico conferido à pornografia de vingança pelo ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, apresentando as principais legislações e críticas referentes à temática em estudo. Realizamos uma pesquisa baseada em análise documental e revisão bibliográfica de natureza qualitativa. Diante disso, verificamos que a construção diferenciada das sexualidades femininas e masculinas determina uma dupla moral no que se refere à recepção social dos comportamentos sexuais de homens e mulheres, especialmente em se tratando de exposição de conteúdo íntimo, o que impõe a constatação de que, em nosso tempo histórico, está em curso a emergência de novas formas de violência de gênero, as quais em vez de substituírem as formas tradicionais de violência contra as mulheres se intercruzaram com elas.
Ante a cicatriz colonial:
Authors: Costa Júnior Edson
Published: September 2022

Este artigo examina as estratégias formais e políticas de curtas-metragens brasileiros dos anos 2010 implicadas numa apropriação imaginativa do trauma colonial, especificamente da escravidão e das diásporas africanas. A partir da análise de Experimentando o vermelho em dilúvio (2016, de Michelle Mattiuzzi), A morte branca do feiticeiro negro (2020, de Rodrigo Ribeiro) e Novo mundo (2020, Natara Ney e Gilvan Barreto), demonstra-se a proeminência conferida ao corpo como meio de fabulação do passado e de resistência contra as estruturas do potentado colonial. Especial atenção é dedicada ao modo como as obras enfatizam a agência política de sujeitos negros e, igualmente, articulam experiências individuais e coletivas a partir da relação entre imagem, som e palavra.
#ChegadeAssedio

Argumentar sobre modos de pensar os feminismos latino-americanos se faz necessário a partir de um viés decolonial formado por autoras do Sul Global.  Aliar tais saberes teóricos às práticas ativistas de mulheres dentro e fora das redes torna-se salutar para compreender como suas realidades violentas vêm sendo combatidas. Deste modo, em nosso trabalho propomos refletir sobre usos e repercussões do ativismo digital no combate ao assédio sexual sofrido por mulheres na América Latina. Para tanto, selecionamos as campanhas brasileiras #ChegadeFiuFiu e #MexeuComUmaMexeuComTodas com o intuito de examinar se as ações por elas realizadas resultaram em efeitos significativos diante da pauta em questão. Os resultados preliminares apontam que o intercruzamento entre práticas e saberes reverberaram em novas formas de organização política de mulheres, por vezes eficientes no enfrentamento à violência sexual em espaços públicos.

O Triângulo da Violência de Johan Galtung
Authors: Pessoa Duran Felipe
Published: September 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as três camadas de violência (direta, estrutural e cultural) sob ótica relativa às teorias e métodos galtungianos, bem como demonstrar como cada uma interfere, seja de modo latente ou dinâmico, na sociedade em geral. Buscar-se-á delinear as correlações de cada conceito da violência galtungiana de modo que os três tipos de conflito são entendidos como interdependentes a partir do pensamento subjacente dos Estudos de Paz. Ademais, serão abordadas as concepções galtungianas acerca da noção de paz negativa e paz positiva compreendendo que tais conceituações antagônicas se fazem indispensáveis uma vez que o propósito deste artigo seja apontar a dinâmica das violências direta, estrutural e cultural presentes dentro do escopo da política e do corpo social contemporâneo.
Estudos sobre a sociologia em tempos de desordem
Authors: Weninghamp Júnior José Ernesto
Published: September 2022

Atualmente o Brasil e o mundo se vêm atrelados a uma situação, onde as questões da sociedade e da Sociologia, deixaram de possuir importância no contexto total de vida. Isso ocorre, pois, o meio político começou a sofrer um processo de corrosão, levando grande parte da população a questionar direitos básicos de sociedade que foram conquistados com muita luta e suor. Essa situação que passou a existir desencadeou uma divisão sem precedentes na população, escancarando situações nunca antes vistos no atual século.  Em conjunto a tudo isso encontra-se a sociedade e os estudos da Sociologia, que tentam trazer luz sobre as situações que são vividas atualmente, e que em grande parte são reflexos de um passado não tão distante. Seja no Brasil ou em Portugal, a sociedade vive de momentos, ora calmos, democráticos e baseados na ciência, ora desumanos, complexos e antidemocráticos.

O Ciber-Flâneur no Contexto da Pandemia
Authors: Pamio Lucas
Published: September 2022

À ação de deambular pelo espaço urbano, percorrendo ruas, avenidas, parques e edificações, sem haver um rumo ou percurso inicialmente proposto atribui-se o termo “flâneur”. De origem francesa, o flâneur é este caminhante que experimenta a cidade objetivando desvendá-la e percebê-la. Todavia, com a pandemia que assola nossa sociedade, o modo de explorar a cidade precisou ser revisto, recorrendo-se assim aos programas e softwares que disponibilizam mapas e percursos virtuais para se conhecer determinado espaço ou determinado objeto, apesar de não ser novo, sendo o ciber-flâneur, ou seja, o flâneur cibernético uma figura já existente, esse tornou-se um personagem assíduo de muitas pessoas, uma vez que a exploração citadina ganhou novos adeptos que por meio de computadores e smartphones passaram a conhecer outras cidades do globo, galerias de arte, espaços culturais e particularidades urbanas, uma forma de acessar e consumir entretenimento e aprendizado. Logo, o flâneur virtual, acessa digitalmente a cidade programada e artificial presente nas telas, estando fisicamente em seu espaço físico.
