Gold-foil figures and human skulls in the royal hall at Aska, Hagebyhöga, Östergötland
Authors: Rundkvist Martin , Löfving Axel , Gustavsson Rudolf , Heimdahl Jens , Viberg Andreas
Published: December 2023

During the mid-first millennium AD, centres of royal power with large halls emerged across southern Scandinavia. No evidence for such sites, however, was known from Östergötland in south-east Sweden. Here, the authors present results from fieldwork at Aska near Vadstena, identifying the principal manor of a petty royal lineage occupied between c. AD 650 and 1000. Excavations have revealed a 50m-long hall raised on a 3.5m-high platform and the largest known assemblage of small gold-foil figures from the first-millennium kingdom of Östergötland. Aska represents a ‘second-generation ruler’ site, similar in form and date to Old Uppsala, Borre, Old Lejre and Tissø, revealing Östergötland as an integral part of the political geography of early medieval Scandinavia.
“Death in his hand”
Authors: Murray Chris
Published: November 2023

Chris Murray, “‘Death in his hand’: Theories of Apparitions in Coleridge, Ferriar, and Keats” (pp. 179–210)

On a chance meeting in 1819, Samuel Taylor Coleridge told John Keats about his theory of “double touch.” This hypothesis is key to the famous accounts in which each poet mythologizes the other. In his writings on double touch, Coleridge surmises that we engage with our world simultaneously by sensory perception and an energetic connection derived from Mesmerism. Disruption to either aspect of double touch results in the pathological state of “single touch,” symptoms of which can include hallucination. Coleridge developed his theory in dialogue with physician and author John Ferriar. Each theorized that ghost-sightings occur when the mind articulates disease as strong imagery and each used literature, particularly Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1603), as a source of evidence for psychological speculations. Coleridge’s double-touch theory pervades his notebooks and his lectures on drama, and his verbal account provided Keats with a new means to explore the supernatural in narrative verse. Hence, double touch receives its most significant literary treatment in Keats’s compositions over the weeks following his conversation with Coleridge. In particular, “La Belle Dame sans Merci” (1819) proceeds from an initial impulse to parody Coleridge to a serious exploration of double touch. Conversely, Coleridge’s claim to have foretold Keats’s death is influenced by double-touch theory and “La Belle Dame sans Merci.”
Beatrice Cenci’s Ghost
Authors: Pirholt Mattias
Published: November 2023

Mattias Pirholt, “Beatrice Cenci’s Ghost: Ekphrasis, Spectrality, and the Art of Copying in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Marble Faun” (pp. 211–233)

This article investigates the spectrality of ekphrases and art reproductions, the haunting presence of the original work’s aura and the copyist’s self-sacrifice. Focusing on the ekphrastic description of the Baroque painting Beatrice Cenci (1599), earlier attributed to Guido Reni, in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Marble Faun (1860), the article argues that the ekphrastic representation of the copy of the painting embodies the dialectic of enargeia and ekplexis, that is, of the vivifying presence-making of the ekphrasis and its sublime and disturbing absence. In The Marble Faun, the aura of Guido’s original painting haunts the copy, made by one of the romance’s female protagonists, Hilda, whose art is both creative and imitative. The copy retains the aura of the original but only in the shape of a haunting presence of absence, a ghost, which perpetuates rather than eliminates tradition. Thus, as a paradoxically original imitation of Guido’s masterpiece, Hilda’s uniquely beautiful copy, whose most salient feature is that is it visibly different from the original, creates an Emersonian unity of beauty and usefulness. Furthermore, the copy is haunted by the copyist’s necessary sacrifice of her own individual talent as an artist. The copyist must submit to the genius of the original artist in order to perpetuate the original work’s aura, which produces tradition by means of copying and which exists only thanks to the copyist’s self-sacrifice.

In The Bahamas “She must give it up”: Sexual Abuse of Women in Heterosexual Relationships by their Intimate Partners
Authors: Fielding William J. , Ballance Virginia C. F. , Hall-Campbell Dean Niambi
Published: December 2023

This study analyses the treatment of Bahamian women in heterosexual relationships by their intimate partners focusing on instances of sexual and psychological abuse. An internet survey obtained information from 464 married and 1,264 unmarried women currently in intimate relationships with men. Married women were more likely than unmarried women in intimate relationships to report non-consensual sexual intercourse. Married women who admitted to being victims of non-consensual sexual intercourse or reported having been raped by their husband were more likely to have been physically harmed by their husband than those who had not suffered   non-consensual sex or rape. Likewise, psychological abuse was more evident in married than unmarried women. The results indicate that behaviours of concern are inflicted by men on their female intimate partners both inside and outside of marriage. The finding that abusive behaviours, including non-consensual sex and psychological abuse, are more common within marriage than outside of marriage requires further study.
Behaviours Associated with Male “Sweethearting” (Infidelity) in Heterosexual Relationships in The Bahamas
Authors: Fielding William J. , Ballance Virginia C. F.
Published: December 2023

This paper presents incidental data on sweethearting from a study on sexual violence in intimate-partner relationships between men and women in The Bahamas. Females participating in the study reported male infidelity to be common (with about 20% and possibly as many as about 50% of men being unfaithful) in both unmarried and married relationships. Associated with infidelity were behaviours of concern, such as physical and sexual violence, as well as psychological abuse by male partners. These abusive behaviours were associated with the woman feeling that she would leave the relationship if she could, and that the relationship was not a loving one. Furthermore, the study suggests that unfaithful married men are more likely to demonstrate activities of concern (in the form of elevated scores for domestic violence and psychological abuse) compared to unfaithful unmarried men in relationships with women.
Sexual and Psychological Abuse of Men in Heterosexual Relationships in The Bahamas
Authors: Fielding William J. , Ballance Virginia
Published: December 2023

This paper describes the treatment of heterosexual men in The Bahamas by their intimate partners. An internet study surveyed 335 married and 922 unmarried men in The Bahamas who were currently in intimate relationships with women. The study found that behaviours of concern were inflicted by women on their male partners both inside and outside of marriage. Overall, 14% of respondents reported experiencing sex against their will. Married and unmarried men were equally likely to report experiencing unwanted sexual intercourse in their current relationship, and unmarried men were more likely than married men to have been physically hurt by their current partner. Married men who admitted to being victims of unwanted sexual intercourse by their wives were more likely to report having been physically hurt by their wife than those who had not experienced unwanted sex. Psychological abuse was more evident for unmarried than married men. These findings suggest that men may need more help in coping with abuse than is commonly recognized. Investigating why abusive behaviours, including unwanted sex, were more common outside of marriage than inside of marriage may be a useful area of future research in the Bahamian community.
La representación de la música, el canto y el acto ritual en la narrativa breve de José María Arguedas
Authors: Alcántara Silva Ynés Victoria
Published: November 2023

Las primeras producciones literarias de José María Arguedas no fueron objeto de estudio en los trabajos de la recepción inicial de su obra narrativa. Después de la publicación del cuento “Agua”, aparecen estudios sobre su obra en diferentes periódicos de la época. La etapa de la producción de los relatos breves de Arguedas debe ser entendida como el momento de mayor exploración y definición de un estilo narrativo propio. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar los tres primeros cuentos publicados en esta primera etapa: “Los comuneros de Ak’ola” (1934), “Los comuneros de Utej Pampa” (1934) y “K’ellk’atay-pampa” (1934). En ellos, la música, el canto y la danza actúan como elementos estructuradores y configuradores de personajes colectivos que representan actos ritualizados de la cultura andina. Tanto el cuento como la novela le permitieron a Arguedas cumplir con sus objetivos literarios, artísticos, sociales y culturales.
La adecuación de la muestra indubitada en la comparación forense de voz
Authors: Lazo García Verónica
Published: November 2023

La comparación forense de voz es una de las tareas de la fonética forense que consiste en cotejar muestras de voz dubitadas (incriminadas en delitos varios) con muestras indubitadas o fidedignas de uno o más sospechosos. Para realizar una buena comparación, además de utilizar mé- todos apropiados, se necesita que las muestras sean pertinentes para la comparación (Machuca, Ríos y Llisterri., 2014). Por tanto, el perito debe conocer las características discursivas de las muestras dubitadas, los métodos de recojo de datos lingüísticos, las técnicas de procesamiento de audios con la finalidad de asegurar idoneidad en las muestras que someterá a examen. El propósito de este artículo es plantear los principios lingüísticos de los procedimientos de toma de muestra indubitada. Bajo un enfoque lingüístico funcional, se establece un marco conceptual que enlaza el discurso oral y las técnicas de trabajo de campo en lingüística para el análisis forense del habla.

Authors:   Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of NAS of Ukraine, Kononiuk Olexander
Published: November 2023

Magnesium hydride has a high hydrogen capacity, environmental friendliness and low cost. One of its applications is the use of composites based on it in hydrolysis reactions in order to obtain hydrogen and supply it to fuel cells. This report presents an overview of works to show the catalytic effect of oxygen-stabilized η-phases Zr3V3O0.6, Ti4-xFe2+xOy, Ti3Fe3O and graphite on the mechanochemical synthesis of hydride composites, their sorption-desorption properties and hydrogen generation in the process of hydrolysis reactions in distilled water and in MgCl2 solutions of different concentrations.

Published: November 2023

The high efficiency of the environmentally safe polysaccharide sodium alginate as an inhibitor of aluminum alloy corrosion in a 0.1% NaCl solution was established. The protective action of the alginate consists in inhibiting the cathodic reaction of electrochemical corrosion due to the formation of an organic protective film on the surface of intermetallic inclusions of the alloy.
Pharmacologic Adjuncts for Neonatal Tracheal Intubation: The Evidence Behind Premedication
Authors: Neches Sara K. , DeMartino Cassandra , Shay Rebecca
Published: December 2023

Premedication such as analgesia, sedation, vagolytics, and paralytics may improve neonatal tracheal intubation success, reduce intubation-associated adverse events, and create optimal conditions for performing this high-risk and challenging procedure. Although rapid sequence induction including a paralytic agent has been adopted for intubations in pediatric and adult critical care, neonatal clinical practice varies. This review aims to summarize details of common classes of neonatal intubation premedication including indications for use, medication route, dosage, potential adverse effects in term and preterm infants, and reversal agents. In addition, this review shares the literature on national and international practice variations; explores evidence in support of establishing premedication guidelines; and discusses unique circumstances in which premedication use has not been established, such as during catheter-based or minimally invasive surfactant delivery. With increasing survival of extremely preterm infants, clear guidance for premedication use in this population will be necessary, particularly considering potential short- and long-term side effects of procedural sedation on the developing brain.
Intersecções interculturais no ensino de Português como Língua Adicional em contexto amazônico
Authors: Nascimento de Queiroz Rodrigo , Nelziza Lovera de Florentino Nádia , Nogueira de Souza Elen Caroline
Published: November 2023

Os processos interculturais manifestados em contextos educacionais do Português como Língua Adicional (PLA) fomentam representações discursivas em torno das múltiplas nuances identitárias nas quais as linguagens coexistem. Consoante a este cenário plural, o presente artigo objetiva apresentar uma análise de atividades didáticas de forma interpretativa com base em reflexões críticas e teóricas aplicadas, em uma turma de curso em nível intermediário de um programa de extensão promovido por uma universidade pública da Amazônia Ocidental. A análise está sustentada pela perspectiva da interculturalidade (Byram et al., 2002; Candau, 2008, 2013; Walsh, 2001, 2019) em tempos pós-globalizantes (Bauman, 2012; Hall, 2011). Os dados foram constituídos a partir das ações extracurriculares de cursos de PLA em um programa extensionista e acadêmico para comunidade. As atividades didáticas foram aplicadas no segundo semestre de 2022 em interações de aula ministradas no formato remoto. A turma era formada, em sua maioria, por falantes de países como Bolívia, Haiti, Peru, Venezuela, dentre outros. Para compor o repertório do corpus de análise, duas atividades foram selecionadas sendo os dados divididos nas seguintes categorias: a) temática; b) organização das tarefas; e c) desafios dos aprendizes. No percurso analítico foi constatado que as interpretações materiais das atividades representam crenças contínuas de que os aprendizes interrelacionam aspectos discursivos da língua-alvo com seus próprios saberes socioculturais. Dessa maneira, as aplicações das atividades didáticas demonstram que os recursos semióticos como imagens, áudios e vídeos potencializam a valorização da representatividade identitária entre o “Eu e o Outro”, seguida da pluralização de significados para as práticas de “Interculturalidades”.
Transactions and Human Resource Management before and after restrictions of Sunday trading in Poland
Authors: Buda Andrzej , Kuźmicz Katarzyna
Published: November 2023

Aim. In March 2018, the Solidarity trade union forced new Polish law banning nearly all commercial transactions on Sundays, including supermarkets and majority of other retailers. However, there were exceptions, such as petrol stations and e-commerce online shops that were permitted to continue their operations. Therefore, a number of additional transactions in e-commerce and stationary hot spots in petrol stations on Sundays increased significantly. In our research, the quantitative relationship between these restrictions and a demand expressed by a number of transactions hourly and daily has been considered according to real data sets and observations collected from e-commerce transactions and a local petrol station in Głogów (Poland) that belong to the British Petroleum network.

Methods. The Detrended Fluctuations Analysis (DFA) has been applied to detect new clients on Sundays and to exploit and track their behaviour and customs from time series on other trading days in petrol stations.

Results. According to our results, free market as an equilibrium theory works well because significant groups of additional customers on Sundays were detected. Moreover, these new customers may continue purchasing on other trading days, which depends on human resources of the petrol stations. This result is consistent with other effects, such as e-commerce development in Poland after 2018.

Conclusion. The success of involving new customers is determined by the quality of human resources development at local petrol stations. On the other hand, e-commerce development may constitute an alternative solution.
Education of Ukrainian children in Poland - basic information
Authors: Klisowska Iwona , Grabowska Barbara , Twardak Iwona , Seń Mariola
Published: November 2023

Aim. The aim of the study was to attempt to familiarise the subject of the systemic and local solutions introduced in Poland in order to minimise problems related to the admission of Ukrainian children to educational institutions.

Concept. The study reviewed the legal acts and recommendations of the Ombudsman concerning the education of children, mainly Ukrainian, in Polish schools.

Results and conclusions. The inclusion of a large number of Ukrainian children in the Polish educational system required the cooperation of representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, school boards, non-governmental organisations and local authorities, as well as teachers and educators themselves. In response to the difficulties, the Polish Ombudsman recommended simplifying the process of recruiting teachers and cultural assistants from Ukraine to Polish educational institutions. International classes were created and anti-discrimination and multicultural education was implemented to integrate refugees especially during distance learning. The Ministry of Education immediately responded to all recommendations with concrete actions, including planning multicultural classrooms. In addition, alternative options were suggested, such as the establishment of new educational institutions based on the Ukrainian system and the provision of remote education as an alternative to enrolling students directly in preparatory or mainstream classes. The importance of developing information in Ukrainian and Russian, such as enrolment details and electronic diary information (recommendations of the Polish Ombudsman), was also highlighted (RPO-rekomendacje (2022).

Cognitive value. The work makes it possible to become familiar with the wide range of activities undertaken for the admission of children, mainly Ukrainian, to Polish educational institutions. It provides an opportunity to identify the problem of adjusting the Polish educational system to the reception of a large number of refugees in a short period of time.
Physical activity of children with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic: what were the most relevant studies published from August 2019 to July 2021?
Authors: Oliveira Elisabete Maria de , Bilac Ricardo Artur Etchatz , Silva Letícia Yolanda , Pacheco Ana Elisa , Benetti Magnus
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate up-to-date scientific information about physical activity, COVID-19, and childhood cancer. This study is an integrative review. Research was conducted in the Science Direct database, using keywords in three different combinations. In total, 50 publications classified as the most relevant of each keyword combination were selected, 26 eligible publications were reached from August 2019 to July 2021, of which nine were duplicates. When exclusion criteria were applied, 11 complete studies were selected. The level of physical activity (PA) of children diagnosed with cancer or those who survived cancer is low. Changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic include the decrease in the level of PA and the increase in the use of technological devices. The minimum PA recommendations for this population vary but some evidence supports its importance and benefits in minimizing the adverse effects arising from cancer and from the performed medical treatment. Exercise-based interventions should be chosen and carried out considering the type of cancer and the stage of treatment the child is in due to the evidence of its effectiveness.
Recycling, caring and chatting at the Food Bike: Citizen Participation in a Waste Management Experiment in Hengelo, the Netherlands
Authors: Bok Jordi , Colombijn Freek
Published: December 2023

Abstract The food bike (voedselfiets) project in the city of Hengelo (Netherlands) was designed to stimulate citizens to separate organic from residual waste. The food bikes take standard routes with designated stops to collect food waste from residents in high-rise neighbourhoods, which lack space to separate organic waste in garbage containers. Data were collected by a mix of qualitative research methods, which allowed to develop a holistic and contextualized view of the reasons why citizens joined this environmental initiative. The from literature well-known factors of idealism and self-interest can partly explain participation in the food bike project, but we have found that a habitus of not wasting food and social needs are also important reasons for people to participate. Especially older people take part in the project because the food bikes suit their habitus of frugality. The social interaction -behaving in a desirable way in the eyes of neighbours, and chatting at the bikes- stand in marked contrast to collection of waste by garbage trucks, in which contact is avoided as much as possible. The social aspect was reinforced during the Corona crisis, when indoor social contact was discouraged by the Dutch government. As it is, municipal efforts to promote pro-environmental behaviour build on the idealism and perceived self-interest of citizens, but could also make use of the social and emotional considerations of prospective participants and their attachment to the neighbourhood.
To the rescue! An ethnography of food waste reduction practices in the Netherlands
Authors: Muldoon Lena
Published: December 2023

Abstract Food waste is a challenge to the sustainability of global food systems and to the environment and demonstrates a dire need for solutions in which the food produced for human consumption actually feeds people. Food rescue practices respond to this challenge through the redistribution of food waste materials, working towards a circular economic system. Through analysis of two food rescue organisations, this article maps the food waste network and the actors engaged in practices of transforming discarded food waste materials back into an edible food resource. Despite their best intentions to uphold the fundamental goal of saving food, 'food heroes' face logistical, financial, and ethical hurdles as they implement their food rescue practices. Operating within the globalised food system, which prioritises profit and productivity, is a major challenge to food rescue organisations. This article demonstrates the fragile intricacies of the food waste network and compares how food rescue operates within different levels of the food supply chain.

Os participantes independentes apresentaram 4,26 (IC95% 1,46; 12,38) mais chances de ter conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas excelentes para a prevenção da doença. Já os com maior escolaridade apresentaram 3,89 (IC95% 1,16; 12,99) mais chances de ter conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas excelentes, comparados aos que nunca, ambas comparações consideraram intervalo de confiança 95%. Conclusão A prevenção da covid-19 sofreu influência da funcionalidade, mostrando-se que quanto maior a independência funcional, melhor a prevenção nas pessoas idosas. Esse conhecimento leva ao direcionamento de políticas públicas e ações voltadas para a importância da prevenção de doenças na população idosa, bem como para a promoção do envelhecimento saudável.
The influence of physical activity on gait parameters during dual-task activities in the older people
Authors: Andrade Verônica Filter de , Zapparoli Laura Buzin , Farneda Pedro Henrique , Cechetti Fernanda , Saccani Raquel , Bonetti Leandro Viçosa
Published: December 2023

Abstract Objective To analyze the possible differences in the kinematic variables of gait between physically active and physically inactive older people while performing dual-task activities. Method Older individuals, aged between 60 and 75 years, participated, divided into two groups: physically inactive (PI) (n=20) and physically active (PA) (n=20). Participants were equally grouped into ten female and male individuals, classified using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Participants initially performed simple tasks (arithmetic, verbal fluency, and gait) and then performed dual task activities, associating gait with the two cognitive activities (arithmetic and verbal fluency). The variables velocity, cadence, stride length, step width, stride time and double support were analyzed. To compare variables according to task and group, the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model complemented by the Bonferroni test was used. Results In the intragroup analysis both groups showed significant decreases in velocity, cadence, step width, stride time and double support, both in the arithmetic dual task and in the verbal fluency dual task. However, in the comparisons between the groups, there were no statistically significant differences in any kinematic parameter analyzed, both in the single gait analysis and in the dual tasks. Conclusion The dual tasks had a negative influence on the kinematic gait parameters in both groups. However, the level of physical activity can not be considered a factor that minimizes the effects of the dual task on gait in the older people.

Os participantes realizaram inicialmente tarefas simples (aritmética, fluência verbal e marcha) e depois realizaram atividades de dupla tarefa, associando a marcha com as duas atividades cognitivas (aritmética e fluência verbal). Foram analisadas as variáveis velocidade, cadência, comprimento da passada, largura do passo, tempo da passada e duplo apoio. Para comparar as variáveis por tarefa e grupo, foi utilizado o modelo de Equações de Estimativas Generalizadas (GEE) complementado pelo teste de Bonferroni. Resultados Na análise intragrupo, ambos os grupos apresentaram reduções significativas na velocidade, cadência, largura da passada, tempo da passada e duplo apoio, tanto na dupla tarefa aritmética quanto na dupla tarefa de fluência verbal. No entanto, nas comparações entre os grupos, não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas em nenhum parâmetro cinemático analisado, tanto na análise da marcha simples quanto nas tarefas duplas. Conclusão As duplas tarefas influenciaram negativamente os parâmetros cinemáticos da marcha em ambos os grupos. No entanto, o nível de atividade física não pode ser considerado um fator que minimiza os efeitos da dupla tarefa na marcha de idosos.

Published: December 2023

Abstract Objective To characterize hospitalizations for covid-19 among aged individuals residing in Minas Gerais, Brazil, from March 2020 to March 2022, with a focus on geographical distribution, sociodemographic, clinical, epidemiological, and care data. Method This quantitative and descriptive study used sociodemographic, clinical, epidemiological, and care data from the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Database, including covid-19-related data. A total of 102,029 hospitalizations of aged individuals for covid-19 were analyzed for descriptive purposes and mapping the incidence by municipality and macro-region. Results High incidence was observed in 196 of the 853 municipalities in Minas Gerais, ranging from 3,098 to 8,916 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Hospitalizations were predominantly male (50.7%), aged 60-70 years (39.0%), of mixed race (41.6%), with 1st to 5th grade education (17.6%), and presenting risk factors or comorbidities (54.0%). Common symptoms included dyspnea and oxygen saturation below 95% (72.8% each). Regarding care data, a portion of patients required intensive care unit admission (34.0%), non-invasive ventilatory support (54.1%), and presented interstitial infiltrates in chest X-rays (20.4%). Although most cases resulted in recovery (55.6%), it is noteworthy that 41.8% of hospitalized aged individuals died. Conclusion This study highlights the existence of areas in Minas Gerais with a higher incidence of covid-19 cases that require ongoing monitoring, with a focus on the care of subgroups of aged individuals who are male, younger, of mixed race, have lower educational attainment, and have risk factors or comorbidities. Additionally, special attention is needed for aged individuals with signs and symptoms indicative of clinical severity.

Published: December 2023

Abstract Objective to analyze the development of care practices of nurses working in Primary Health Care. Method A cross-sectional and quantitative study was carried out with 216 nurses from 97 municipalities in two Health Macroregions of the state of Santa Catarina, who answered a survey-type questionnaire in 2019. The data were submitted to analytical and inferential descriptive statistics. Results Among the care practices, there was a prevalence of welcoming and Nursing consultation, strengthening their autonomy and Primary Care resoluteness, followed by Nursing procedures. Home visits stand out for the periodicity of up to three times a week, and the educational activities were concentrated on fortnightly periodicity. Health education activities are mainly targeted at users with chronic pathologies. Nurses favor individual care approaches to the detriment of group educational actions. Conclusion and implications for the practice There is a need to strengthen the educational dimension in nurses' work, which has repercussions on care and management activities in Primary Health Care, especially those aimed at groups.
Digital platforms and urban flows: dispersion and control of precarious work
Authors: Fioravanti Lívia Maschio , Martins Felipe Rangel , Rizek Cibele Saliba
Published: December 2023

Abstract The recent spread of digital platforms has produced new dynamics in the relationship between work and the city. The aim of this article is to analyze urban flows of app-based delivery workers in the São Paulo metropolis to explore empirically the conditions under which this work is inscribed in the city. We argue that the dispersion of thousands of workers throughout the metropolis, supported by an algorithmic management, can only be carried out through an incisive control of time, territory, and of the work itself, as well as through the workers’ intense vulnerability. Using data obtained by means of ethnographic incursions, interviews, and by the development of cartographic material, we seek to discuss the dynamics of (re)production of central-peripheral inequalities along with work that is spatialized under the centralized management of platform companies.
Subjectivation and psychosocial risks of the uberization of work in territorial dynamics
Authors: Gomes-Souza Ronaldo , Tramontano Marcelo Claudio
Published: December 2023

Abstract In view of the economic, political, and technological changes in the world of work within the urban territory, nowadays we are facing new informalities that increase the precariousness of work relationships and conditions in a global level. This essay aims to reflect critically on new subjectivations and on psychosocial risks related to the uberization of work, analyzing their impacts on territorial dynamics. We highlight platform companies that offer taxi and delivery services, and we provide a panorama that shifts from the international to the national scenario. Uberized workers face unique episodes of violence committed by platform companies and urban violence, which intensify psychosocial risks and harm workers' dignity, health, and quality of life. The practices of platform companies, as well as their management and contradictions, reveal a deprivation of the right to the city and the capture of workers' subjectivity.
Moradia, trabalho e migração: uma ocupação sob ameaça de remoção
Authors: Santos Eduardo Abramowicz
Published: December 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar, a partir de uma ocupação localizada no Brás, organizada por migrantes latino-americanos e brasileiros, a forma de associação e entrelaçamento entre deslocamento, moradia e trabalho. Demonstra-se o modo de constituição da ocupação e de organização do local, indicando a rede de proteção que se estabeleceu em torno do espaço urbano e como uma ação judicial, que requer a remoção das famílias, aborda o tema do trabalho no local. A partir da dinâmica desse espaço urbano, demonstra-se que o trabalho constituído na ocupação fomenta um outro mercado, o mercado tido como informal de moradia.

Published: December 2023

Resumo Este artigo discute questões relativas às diversas iniciativas de plataformização do trabalho docente no contexto atual. O trabalho consiste num esforço empírico de localização e cotejamento de plataformas digitais de ensino, propondo, também, uma análise crítica sustentada por corpo bibliográfico e analítico pertinente. O principal objetivo é indicar, por meio de uma análise sistematizada, como podem se operar, via plataformas digitais de ensino, o sequestro e a precarização do trabalho docente, dissimulado por uma semântica neoliberal que busca conferir edulcoradas associações de sentido idiomático (autonomia, empreendedorismo, etc.) a um processo em que aqueles que trabalham para ou sob o controle das plataformas digitais acabam sendo prejudicados.
Precarization of teaching work: teaching platforms in the context of the factory

Published: December 2023

Abstract This article discusses issues related to various initiatives for the platformization of teaching work in the current context. The study consists of an empirical effort to locate and compare digital teaching platforms, and proposes a critical analysis supported by a relevant bibliographic and analytical body. The main objective is to show, through a systematized analysis, how the kidnapping and precarization of teaching work via digital teaching platforms can occur. These operations are concealed by a neoliberal semantics that seeks to confer soothed idiomatic meaning associations (autonomy, entrepreneurship etc.) on a process in which those who work for or under the control of digital platforms end up being harmed.
The urban as anti-nation: to understand the crisis of Brazilian metropolises
Authors: Ribeiro Luiz César de Queiroz , Matela Igor Pouchain , Diniz Nelson
Published: December 2023

Abstract How can we resume a development project that embraces urban reform and the right to the city? We seek to outline a theoretical and analytical framework consistent with this possibility, understanding that Brazilian cities can function as vectors for the reconstruction of the nation after the recent period of successive crises, especially the urban crisis. We propose adopting broad horizons for investigating “urban issues”, arguing that they should be considered in the light of the contemporary historical form of dependency and in view of the circumstances emerging from the 2016 parliamentary coup d'état, which imposed an ultra-liberal inflection on the country. Finally, we argue that, after this coup, the “anti-nation” nature of the urban was radicalized, and the return of the debate on dependent urbanization can help its und erstanding.
Dois tempos do neoliberalismo brasileiro como governo das cidades
Authors: Costa André Dal’Bó da
Published: December 2023

Resumo Este artigo discute duas diferentes fases de aclimatação do neoliberalismo como prática de governo das cidades no Brasil. A primeira, como progressismo neoliberal e a segunda, como gestão autoritária, austera e militarizada do colapso social. Na primeira parte, dialogo com os trabalhos de Dardot e Laval (2009 e 2016) e de Dardot et al. (2021), para inscrever o debate proposto na transição entre duas expressões do neoliberalismo, primeiro, como razão mundo ou racionalidade política e segundo, como estratégia de guerra. Na segunda parte, tais fases serão observadas a partir de recentes transformações nas práticas de governo das cidades, através da análise de alguns exemplos relacionados aos últimos programas de provisão habitacional e regularização fundiária vigentes no Brasil.
Generation of synthetic flow scenarios by means of multivariate sampling of contemporaneous ARMA model outputs

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT This work constitutes one of the outcomes of the “Evaluation of hydrological scenario generation models” activity initiated by the Hydrological Scenario Representation Working Group (GT CH) and coordinated by ONS and CCEE. We introduce the LYNX-Series model, a contemporaneous non-periodic and multivariate variation of the autoregressive moving average model (CARMA) for generating synthetic time series of average inflow discharges to reservoirs in the Brazilian National Interconnected System (SIN). Notably, LYNX-Series couples the synthetic series generator with a multivariate sampling process to select a group of synthetic hydrological scenarios based on a similarity criterion with recent historical data. In addition to reducing the computational burden of the hydrothermal dispatch optimization process, the solution aims to enhance the representativeness of synthetic hydrological scenarios. The paper expounds on the theoretical aspects of the model and presents numerical simulations that validate its ability to replicate hydrological behaviors in various Brazilian basins.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a associação entre recebimento de aposentadorias ou pensões e sintomas depressivos na população brasileira com 50 anos ou mais. Método Estudo transversal com participantes da linha de base (2015-2016) do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros. Sintomas depressivos foram aferidos pela escala The eight-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression. Razões de prevalência (RP) foram obtidas pela regressão de Poisson. Resultados Dos 8.469 participantes, 33,9% (IC95% 32,8;34,9) relataram sintomas depressivos e 52,8% (IC95% 51,8;53,9) recebiam aposentadoria ou pensão. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi menor entre os participantes que recebiam aposentadoria ou pensão (RP = 0,79; IC95% 0,73;0,86). A associação permaneceu significativa após ajustes por indicadores sociodemográficos e de saúde (RP = 0,84; IC95% 0,76;0,92). Conclusão Participantes que recebiam aposentadoria ou pensão são menos propensos a relatarem sintomas depressivos.
Análisis del dolor agudo posoperatorio mediante el uso de algunos elementos disciplinares del cuidado
Authors:   Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Jiménez Castellanos Carolina
Published: November 2023

La presente nota de clase se elaboró como apoyo para el curso de Cuidado al Adulto y al Adulto Mayor, del programa de Enfermería de la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia. Contiene información sobre las generalidades del dolor agudo en el posoperatorio del adulto, la descripción de una narrativa de enfermería y el análisis del conocimiento a través de los patrones del conocimiento en enfermería. Este documento consta de tres unidades, las cuales deben ser revisadas por los estudiantes para su análisis y comprensión. En la primera unidad se presentan generalidades sobre el dolor agudo en el posoperatorio, los cuidados fundamentales de enfermería y una actividad de repaso a cerca de la fisiología de este fenómeno. En la siguiente unidad, se evidencia la situación de “Jorge”, un usuario de unidad de cuidado intermedio en condición de posoperatorio abdominal, cuidado por una enfermera del área que narra su experiencia de cuidado y formula al estudiante preguntas orientadoras básicas para el análisis y construcción de su propia narrativa. Finalmente, en la tercera unidad, se presenta cómo desde los patrones del conocimiento se puede analizar la situación de enfermería a través de la lectura y respuesta de preguntas orientadoras para los patrones propuestos por Carper en 1978: empírico, personal, ético y estético.
THE EFFECTS OF TRANSFORMATİONAL LEADERSHİP PRACTİCES İN ORGANİZATİONS AMONG FAMİLY-WORK CONFLİCT, WORK-FAMİLY CONFLİCT AND JOB PERFORMANCE

The research examines the relationship between transformational leadership in organizations and family-work conflict, work-family conflict and job performance. The sample consists of 232 public employees. Transformational leadership scale, performance scale, family-work conflict scale and work-family conflict scale were used in the study. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that transformational leadership practices affect the performance of employees positively, and that transformational leadership affects family work conflict and family work conflict negatively affects performance. No significant relationship was found between transformational leadership and work-family conflict and work-family conflict and performance.
Interests of Participants of Criminal Proceedings as an Object of Coercion in Criminal Proceedings
Authors: Maziuk Roman
Published: November 2023

The article deals with the problem of the coercion impact on the participants' interests in criminal proceedings as an element of their procedural status. The mechanism of the coercion use in criminal proceedings involves the impact not on the rights and obligations of the participant in criminal proceedings, but on his interests. The mechanism includes 3 levels: at the ﬁ rst level, coercion is implemented by giving a person involved in the orbit of criminal procedural relations the procedural status of a participant in criminal proceedings; at the second level-by mandatory involvement of a participant in criminal proceedings in procedural relations involving the performance of their procedural duties; at the third level - by applying speciﬁ c measures of procedural coercion to a participant in criminal proceedings. Based on the analysis of various levels of enforcement in criminal proceedings, as well as examples of assessing the interests of the individual in criminal proceedings, the author comes to the conclusion that procedural violations of the interests of the person in criminal proceedings must be the autonomous ground for their appeal both in administrative and court order.
