POLITIZAÇÃO DE INTERESSES ATRAVÉS DE FRENTES PARLAMENTARES
Authors: Coradini Odaci Luiz
Published: February 2018

O estudo que está na origem desse artigo propõe que o objetivo principal da criação de frentes parlamentares é a formação de “espaços” de “opinião mobilizada” na definição e imposição de interesses no espaço político, através, particularmente, de atividades de expertise. Em segundo lugar, que as frentes parlamentares podem criar “espaços” ou “articular” um conjunto de deputados e senadores não apenas entre si, mas com representantes de organismos do Executivo de algum modo vinculados à “questão” conforme a definição em pauta. Por fim, que essas frentes parlamentares servem como meio de criação de “espaços” ou “articulação” entre os deputados e senadores com os processos de definição e de organização de interesses.
ETNOGRAFIA EM GRUPOS RELIGIOSOS: RELATIVIZAR O ABSOLUTO
Authors: Camurça Marcelo Ayres
Published: February 2018

Na busca de compreensão da alteridade, muitas vezes o antropólogo “quer arrancar a própria pele” a fim de entrar na dos “nativos” (Bastide) para decifrar “desde dentro” a lógica interna deste Outro. Todavia, quando se trata das crenças nativas, a recepção destas pelo antropólogo se dá tomando-as como metáforas de uma interpretação que via de regra é externa à “crença em si”, situando-as nas esferas do social, cultural, da estrutura cognitiva etc. Nesta perspectiva assistimos antropólogos sendo exorcizados em cultos pentecostais, “batendo cabeça para o Santo” nos candomblés ou fardando-se no Santo Daime, participando do cotidiano religioso de seus “nativos”, mas com uma percepção diferenciada destes. Um dilema de pronto se apresenta, na medida que a prática antropológica relativiza aquilo que é vivido como absoluto pelos crentes (Segato, 1992). No entanto, em muitos momentos o antropólogo surpreende- se vivenciando também a “experiência religiosa” destes “nativos”. Qual o lugar desta experiência “mágica, mística, transcendente” na etnografia e na teoria antropológica?
“NÓS ACOLHEMOS OS HOMOSSEXUAIS”: HOMOFOBIA PASTORAL E REGULAÇÃO DA SEXUALIDADE
Authors: Natividade Marcelo Tavares , De Oliveira Leandro
Published: February 2018

O artigo tematiza respostas à diversidade sexual em redes religiosas evangélicas. Reflete, particularmente, sobre formas de regulação da sexualidade que transparecem nos discursos sobre o “acolhimento” aos homossexuais entre certas correntes e denominações. Esta análise se debruça sobre documentos coletados em um monitoramento de sites de internet, incluindo materiais veiculados por ministérios de “ajuda” para “sair da homossexualidade”, testemunhos e interação em fóruns virtuais. Argumentamos que este aparato regulatório, que se manifesta por uma atitude de cuidado para com o outro, visa a supressão da diversidade na esfera da sexualidade e do gênero, podendo desde modo ser qualificado como uma forma velada e insidiosa de homofobia.
PRÁTICAS POLÍTICAS E PROFISSIONAIS NO EXERCÍCIO DO SERVIÇO SOCIAL
Authors: Matos Cândida Margarida Oliveira
Published: February 2018

Nesse artigo discute-se a relação entre a profissão de Serviço Social e a política, considerando o recurso intelectual como um atributo privilegiado, o qual autoriza a adoção de atitudes na sociedade, apresentandose de várias maneiras e assumindo significados diversos, tanto no que concernem as modalidades de atuação - militância religiosa, sindical, ambiental, filantrópica, direitos humanos, político-partidária, causas sociais, organizações representativas, movimentos sociais, cargos públicos e eletivos, dentre outros -, quanto a sua lógica de construção que inclui a formação e os espaços sócio-ocupacionais dos profissionais. A inserção voluntária e/ou profissional dos assistentes sociais em movimentos sociais e instituições de caráter sindical ou ainda em políticas públicas, como também a direção formativa nas instituições de ensino indicam possíveis disposições para as práticas políticas, além dos recursos de origem social que contemplam a origem familiar, geográfica, posição social, religião e gênero. Para a realização da pesquisa que deu origem a este artigo, foram entrevistadas oito assistentes sociais que desenvolvem práticas políticas na cidade de Aracaju e analisadas as representações que as mesmas atribuem à participação política, mediante análise de conteúdo. Esse texto constitui um desdobramento da sistematização dos resultados da pesquisa sobre a temática estudada, o qual subsidiou a elaboração da dissertação de mestrado apresentada à Universidade Federal de Sergipe em março de 2010.
CULTURA E REGENERAÇÃO URBANA: NOVAS E VELHAS AGENDAS DA POLÍTICA CULTURAL PARA AS CIDADES
Authors: Ferreira Claudino
Published: February 2018

Nas últimas décadas, temos vindo a assistir à proliferação de políticas culturais para as cidades que visam produzir efeitos de regeneração urbana com base no investimento estratégico nas artes, na cultura e na economia criativa. Reportando-se à experiência europeia e portuguesa, o artigo procura traçar a genealogia destas políticas, discutir as retóricas que as justificam e questionar os seus efeitos sobre a modelação dos ambientes sócio-culturais das cidades.
ESPAÇO E LEMBRANÇAS NA ECONOMIA SIMBÓLICA URBANA: O “RETORNO” DA PEQUENA ÁFRICA CARIOCA
Authors: Farias Edson
Published: February 2018

A proposta deste artigo é abordar configuracionalmente os usos das lembranças africanas no que toca a tematização de faixas da região portuária do Rio de Janeiro atualmente. Deste modo, as metas analíticas se dividem nas duas seguintes instâncias. A primeira corresponde ao olhar sobre a textura mesma do espaço figurado seja como propriedade estruturante das relações sociais seja como objeto de usos diversos, mas sociohistoricamente tecido na particularidade de lugares geograficamente delimitados. Assim, recorreremos à importância gozada pelas reminiscências africanas na tematização de determinada faixa do território carioca e suas vinculações com o entretenimento-turismo. Já na segunda parte do texto o interesse está dirigido às condições sociais subjacentes às estratégias expressivas no escopo das ambiências montadas no escopo da malha de interdependências sócio-funcionais figuradas nesse delineamento com repercussões diretas sobre a convergência entre economias e culturas urbanas em sintonia com os ditames sistêmicos da tematização dos lugares para fins de consumo cultural, lazer e turismo. Por conseqüência, não se tem por fim analítico e interpretativo a discussão sobre os discursos identitários propriamente ditos; o que se quer é compreender como biografias e itinerários institucionais estão igualmente inscritos na tessitura das mesmas ambiências.
ENOBRECIMENTO URBANO DO BAIRRO TREZE DE JULHO EM ARACAJU: 1990 - 2000
Authors: Rabelo Josevânia Nunes
Published: February 2018

Este artigo discorre sobre as transformações urbanísticas contemporâneas definidas como estratégias de gentrification. e, tem a peculiaridade de evidenciar que o Bairro Treze de Julho demonstra ser um espaço urbano singular de gentrification residencial no Brasil. Geralmente, essas remodelações urbanísticas tentam homogeneizar o espaço urbano no sentido de modificá-lo em cenário de categorias especificas de indivíduos. Contudo, a aparente ordem se desfaz mediante usos inusitados que são construídos no espaço ímpar de lugares, onde as referências transbordam a perspectiva do consumo.

Mistyczne odkrywanie Boga w "Itinerarium mentis in Deum" św. Bonawentury
Authors: Kiwka Mirosław
Published: February 2018

Wśród traktatów mistycznych św. Bonawentury poczesne miejsce zajmuje Itinerarium mentis in Deum. Jego treść jest swego rodzaju instruktażem, opisującym różne sposoby odkrywania Boga na drodze duchowego rozwoju. Św. Bonawentura umieścił swoje rozważania w dość precyzyjnym kontekście chrześcijańskiego rozumienia rzeczywistości. Jego wizja powrotu do Boga wpisana została w metafizyczną triadę emanatio-exemplatio- -reductio i jako taka stała się kluczem do rozumienia dziejów świata i człowieka. Poczynione przy tej okazji rozróżnienia i precyzacje czerpią swoje uzasadnienie z bogatego instrumentarium filozoficznego.     Celem niniejszego artykułu jest opisanie zasadniczych warunków oraz etapów mistycznej drogi, na której umysł człowieka poprzez medytację stopniowo odkrywa tajemniczą obecność Boga. Prowadzony Bożym światłem, przekraczając ograniczenia natury, duch ludzki przemierza swą drogę najpierw przez świat wobec siebie zewnętrzny (ad extra), by następnie zagłębić się w samym sobie (ad intra) i zwieńczyć swój trud w mistycznej ekstazie zjednoczenia (ad supra). W tej perspektywie przestawione zostały również zasadnicze cechy mistyki Bonawenturiańskiej.

Authors: Sakhaei Shahriar , Motaarefi Hossein , Zinalpoor Soryya , Sadagheyani Hassan Ebrahimpour
Published: February 2018

Introduction and Purpose:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common, hidden, degenerative, and progressive chronic disease that is more prevalent in women than in men. It is caused by damage to the myelin of central nervous system and results in neuropathy. The clinical pattern of the disease is 70 percent relapsing - remitting, and depending on the severity and type of nervous involvement, results in a variety of physical, psychological and social disabilities. The present study was designed to determine the functional level of MS patients.

Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, 70 MS female patients referred to the Health Center for Special Diseases at the Madani Hospital of Khoy in 2016 were selected total samplesviaCensus. Two questionnaires were used: the demographic information form and the 29-question MSISS questionnaire that consists of both physical and psychological dimensions. Data analyses were carried out using SPSS v.16 software for an independent sample T-test, and ANOVA.

Results:

The 69% of the sample was comprised of married women, 74% were housewives, 83% were found to be disabled, 77% had a relapsing-remitting form of illness and 89% had no communication problems. The average age was 35 years and the average duration of illness was 4 years. Severe physical disability was found in 11.4% and 17.1% suffered from severe psychological disability. The general disease-related disability was considered mild in 65.7%. Disability was related to age, lifestyle, the presence or absence of a caregiver, the type of illness and communication problems. Physical and psychological dimensions of disability were unrelated (p<0.001).

Conclusion:

According to the high rate of psychological disability compared to physical dimension and effects of physical disorders on the soul, it is necessary to minimize the severity of disability by directing and controlling tensions, changes in lifestyle, the use of complementary therapies, rehabilitation Interventions, psychosocial support, and receiving services from the Association for the supportive of MS patients.

Because psychological disability was greater than physical disability, therapy needs to address psychological stressors. Changes in lifestyle, use of complementary therapies, rehabilitation interventions and psychosocial support are recommended. Support associations for MS patients can also be helpful.

Authors: B. Bibin K.
Published: February 2018

Background: Sneha Kalpana is one among the several highly established Kalpana of Ayurvedic system of medicine. Many types of Taila Kalpana are mentioned in Ayurvedic classics and used effectively in therapeutic practice. Tila Taila is the most commonly using Taila. However Narikelataila, Erandataila, Sarshapataila, etc, are also used in special conditions. It is interesting to note that certain preparations are available in the market based on both TilaTaila and Narikela Taila. This is an attempt to comparatively evaluate the formulation Dhutturadi Taila prepared in Tila Taila and Narikela Taila as the bases. Dhutturadi Taila mentioned in Sahasrayogam is taken for the present study. Objectives: To comparatively analyse Dhutturadi Taila samples with classical and advanced analytical techniques. Materials and Methods: Dhutturadi Taila was prepared using two media i.e. Narikela Taila and Tila Taila. Both Taila samples were comparatively analysed with suitable physicochemical parameters and advanced instrumental methods of analysis. Conclusion: As per the existing result it seems that more amount of marker components are extracted into Tila Taila medium when compared with Narikela Taila.
Clinical Feasibility of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention App (iREST) as a Behavioral Sleep Treatment in a Military Population: Feasibility Comparative Effectiveness Study (Preprint)
Authors: Pulantara I Wayan , Parmanto Bambang , Germain Anne
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Although evidence-based cognitive behavioral sleep treatments have been shown to be safe and effective, these treatments have limited scalability. Mobile health tools can address this scalability challenge. iREST, or interactive Resilience Enhancing Sleep Tactics, is a mobile health platform designed to provide a just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) in the assessment, monitoring, and delivery of evidence-based sleep recommendations in a scalable and personalized manner. The platform includes a mobile phone–based patient app linked to a clinician portal.

OBJECTIVE

The first aim of the pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of JITAI using the iREST platform for delivering evidence-based sleep interventions in a sample of military service members and veterans. The second aim was to explore the potential effectiveness of this treatment delivery form relative to habitual in-person delivery.

METHODS

In this pilot study, military service members and veterans between the ages of 18 and 60 years who reported clinically significant service-related sleep disturbances were enrolled as participants. Participants were asked to use iREST for a period of 4 to 6 weeks during which time they completed a daily sleep/wake diary. Through the clinician portal, trained clinicians offered recommendations consistent with evidence-based behavioral sleep treatments on weeks 2 through 4. To explore potential effectiveness, self-report measures were used, including the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the PSQI Addendum for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

RESULTS

A total of 27 participants completed the posttreatment assessments. Between pre- and postintervention, clinically and statistically significant improvements in primary and secondary outcomes were detected (eg, a mean reduction on the ISI of 9.96, t26=9.99, P<.001). At posttreatment, 70% (19/27) of participants met the criteria for treatment response and 59% (16/27) achieved remission. Comparing these response and remission rates with previously published results for in-person trials showed no significant differences.

CONCLUSION

Participants who received evidence-based recommendations from their assigned clinicians through the iREST platform showed clinically significant improvements in insomnia severity, overall sleep quality, and disruptive nocturnal disturbances. These findings are promising, and a larger noninferiority clinical trial is warranted.
Using Mobile Phone Sensor Technology for Mental Health Research: Integrated Analysis to Identify Hidden Challenges and Potential Solutions (Preprint)
Authors: Boonstra Tjeerd W , Nicholas Jennifer , Wong Quincy JJ , Shaw Frances , Townsend Samuel , Christensen Helen
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Mobile phone sensor technology has great potential in providing behavioral markers of mental health. However, this promise has not yet been brought to fruition.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to examine challenges involved in developing an app to extract behavioral markers of mental health from passive sensor data.

METHODS

Both technical challenges and acceptability of passive data collection for mental health research were assessed based on literature review and results obtained from a feasibility study. Socialise, a mobile phone app developed at the Black Dog Institute, was used to collect sensor data (Bluetooth, location, and battery status) and investigate views and experiences of a group of people with lived experience of mental health challenges (N=32).

RESULTS

On average, sensor data were obtained for 55% (Android) and 45% (iOS) of scheduled scans. Battery life was reduced from 21.3 hours to 18.8 hours when scanning every 5 minutes with a reduction of 2.5 hours or 12%. Despite this relatively small reduction, most participants reported that the app had a noticeable effect on their battery life. In addition to battery life, the purpose of data collection, trust in the organization that collects data, and perceived impact on privacy were identified as main factors for acceptability.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the findings of the feasibility study and literature review, we recommend a commitment to open science and transparent reporting and stronger partnerships and communication with users. Sensing technology has the potential to greatly enhance the delivery and impact of mental health care. Realizing this requires all aspects of mobile phone sensor technology to be rigorously assessed.
Detecting Recovery Problems Just in Time: Application of Automated Linguistic Analysis and Supervised Machine Learning to an Online Substance Abuse Forum (Preprint)
Authors: Kornfield Rachel , Sarma Prathusha K , Shah Dhavan V , McTavish Fiona , Landucci Gina , Pe-Romashko Klaren , Gustafson David H
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Online discussion forums allow those in addiction recovery to seek help through text-based messages, including when facing triggers to drink or use drugs. Trained staff (or “moderators”) may participate within these forums to offer guidance and support when participants are struggling but must expend considerable effort to continually review new content. Demands on moderators limit the scalability of evidence-based digital health interventions.

OBJECTIVE

Automated identification of recovery problems could allow moderators to engage in more timely and efficient ways with participants who are struggling. This paper aimed to investigate whether computational linguistics and supervised machine learning can be applied to successfully flag, in real time, those discussion forum messages that moderators find most concerning.

METHODS

Training data came from a trial of a mobile phone-based health intervention for individuals in recovery from alcohol use disorder, with human coders labeling discussion forum messages according to whether or not authors mentioned problems in their recovery process. Linguistic features of these messages were extracted via several computational techniques: (1) a Bag-of-Words approach, (2) the dictionary-based Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count program, and (3) a hybrid approach combining the most important features from both Bag-of-Words and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count. These features were applied within binary classifiers leveraging several methods of supervised machine learning: support vector machines, decision trees, and boosted decision trees. Classifiers were evaluated in data from a later deployment of the recovery support intervention.

RESULTS

To distinguish recovery problem disclosures, the Bag-of-Words approach relied on domain-specific language, including words explicitly linked to substance use and mental health (“drink,” “relapse,” “depression,” and so on), whereas the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count approach relied on language characteristics such as tone, affect, insight, and presence of quantifiers and time references, as well as pronouns. A boosted decision tree classifier, utilizing features from both Bag-of-Words and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count performed best in identifying problems disclosed within the discussion forum, achieving 88% sensitivity and 82% specificity in a separate cohort of patients in recovery.

CONCLUSIONS

Differences in language use can distinguish messages disclosing recovery problems from other message types. Incorporating machine learning models based on language use allows real-time flagging of concerning content such that trained staff may engage more efficiently and focus their attention on time-sensitive issues.
Exploring User Needs for a Mobile Behavioral-Sensing Technology for Depression Management: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Meng Jingbo , Hussain Syed Ali , Mohr David C , Czerwinski Mary , Zhang Mi
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Today, college students are dealing with depression at some of the highest rates in decades. As the primary mental health service provider, university counseling centers are limited in their capacity and efficiency to provide mental health care due to time constraints and reliance on students’ self-reports. A mobile behavioral-sensing platform may serve as a solution to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of university counseling services.

OBJECTIVE

The main objectives of this study are to (1) understand the usefulness of a mobile sensing platform (ie, iSee) in improving counseling services and assisting students’ self-management of their depression conditions, and (2) explore what types of behavioral targets (ie, meaningful information extracted from raw sensor data) and feedback to deliver from both clinician and students’ perspectives.

METHODS

We conducted semistructured interviews with 9 clinicians and 12 students with depression recruited from a counseling center at a large Midwestern university. The interviews were 40-50 minutes long and were audio recorded and transcribed. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis with an inductive approach. Clinician and student interviews were analyzed separately for comparison. The process of extracting themes involved iterative coding, memo writing, theme revisits, and refinement.

RESULTS

From the clinician perspective, the mobile sensing platform helps to improve counseling service by providing objective evidence for clinicians and filling gaps in clinician-patient communication. Clinicians suggested providing students with their sensed behavioral targets organized around personalized goals. Clinicians also recommended delivering therapeutic feedback to students based on their sensed behavioral targets, including positive reinforcement, reflection reminders, and challenging negative thoughts. From the student perspective, the mobile sensing platform helps to ease continued self-tracking practices. Students expressed their need for integrated behavioral targets to understand correlations between behaviors and depression. They also pointed out that they would prefer to avoid seeing negative feedback.

CONCLUSIONS

Although clinician and student participants shared views on the advantages of iSee in supporting university counseling, they had divergent opinions on the types of behavioral targets and feedback to be provided via iSee. This exploratory work gained initial insights into the design of a mobile sensing platform for depression management and informed a more conclusive research project for the future.
Patient-Centered Mobile Health Data Management Solution for the German Health Care System (The DataBox Project) (Preprint)
Authors: Brinker Titus Josef , Rudolph Stefanie , Richter Daniela , von Kalle Christof
Published: February 2018

UNSTRUCTURED

This article describes the DataBox project which offers a perspective of a new health data management solution in Germany. DataBox was initially conceptualized as a repository of individual lung cancer patient data (structured and unstructured). The patient is the owner of the data and is able to share his or her data with different stakeholders. Data is transferred, displayed, and stored online, but not archived. In the long run, the project aims at replacing the conventional method of paper- and storage-device-based handling of data for all patients in Germany, leading to better organization and availability of data which reduces duplicate diagnostic procedures, treatment errors, and enables the training as well as usage of artificial intelligence algorithms on large datasets.
Dead Today, Gone Tomorrow: The Framing of Workplace Injury in Canadian Newspapers, 2009–2014
Authors: Foster Jason , Barnetson Bob
Published: February 2018

Background How the media frames and presents a subject influences how society sees and responds to that issue.

Analysis This study uses frame analysis to examine how Canadian English language newspapers portrayed workplace injuries between 2009 and 2014. Three frames emerge: Under Investigation, Human Tragedy, and Before the Courts. There is also a meta-frame casting injuries and fatalities as isolated events happening to “others” with no cause, thus the public ought not be concerned about workplace safety.

Conclusion and implications The article concludes that media frames obscure issues of cause and fault, thereby denying workers a full understanding of why injuries happen in the workplace. These frames serve the interests of employers by obfuscating the employer’s role in creating workplace injury and death.
Campaign-Specific Information and Media Effects
Authors: Daoust Jean-François , Sullivan Katherine V.R.
Published: February 2018

Background This article aims to revisit the role of digital media in acquiring campaign-specific information.

Analysis We use datasets from the Making Electoral Democracy Work project that include campaign-specific questions to analyze six regions in three democracies (Canada, Spain, and France).

Conclusion and implications Results demonstrate that voters have a moderate level of campaign-specific knowledge and that traditional media are, at first glance, more useful to acquire political information. Nevertheless, when in interaction with partisanship, traditional media display a surprisingly greater selection bias effect and appear less useful to acquire information. We thus argue that digital media are in fact not more vulnerable to potential echo chambers that would lead to a homogenous information environment.
Speaking Up About Bullying on YouTube: Teenagers’ Vlogs as Civic Engagement
Authors: Caron Caroline
Published: February 2018

Background YouTube is the most popular social networking website among Canadian adolescents, yet little is known about their contribution to the platform’s contents. This article examines youth-produced vlogs created to address a social issue. It seeks to explore the relationship between media creation, civic agency, and participatory politics in the context of visual social media.

Analysis This article combines Grounded Theory and Social Semiotics to perform a multimodal content analysis of 55 vlogs posted on YouTube by French-speaking Canadian adolescents on the issue of bullying.

Conclusion and implications The article concludes that vlogging allows for the creation of a social space where civic discussions can foster discursive forms of engagement and online activism. Future research could examine patterns of inclusion/exclusion in the access to this civic practice.
Imigração, relações familiares e atividades econômicas no Brasil Meridional: formas de ingresso e mobilidade social de três açorianos em áreas litorâneas da Capitania de São Paulo (Morretes e Paranaguá, 1780-1820)
Authors: Moscaleski Cavazzani André Luiz , Richter Gomes Sandro Aramis
Published: February 2018

O presente estudo comporta uma investigação sobre os processos de enraizamento e mobilidade social de três imigrantes açorianos em duas áreas litorâneas da Capitania de São Paulo – a povoação de Morretes e a vila de Paranaguá – entre os anos de 1780 e 1820. Em um sentido amplo, a finalidade capital deste artigo consiste em produzir um conhecimento respeitante à natureza das oportunidades sociais e econômicas auferidas por açorianos que participaram do fluxo migratório para áreas litorâneas do Brasil Meridional na segunda metade do século XVIII. Nesse quadro, neste estudo são fundamentados três argumentos. Primeiro, é demonstrado que, no contexto dos anos 1780, a imigração de açorianos para o extremo sul da Capitania de São Paulo era, por vezes, um projeto familiar. Segundo, é salientado que existiam formas de solidariedade entre membros de distintas gerações entre imigrantes açorianos e portugueses estabelecidos na aludida região. A faculdade de ser treinado na vida mercantil por um açoriano ou reinol era uma oportunidade crucial a uma imigrante recém-chegado. Terceiro, destaca-se que uma das principais oportunidades auferidas pelos imigrantes açorianos era o acesso a instituições administrativas municipais. Palavras-chave: Açorianos. Brasil Meridional. Elites locais. Imigração.
Será que nada vai acontecer? Tempo e melancolia na poética da Legião Urbana
Authors: Gaio Henrique Pinheiro Costa
Published: February 2018

O rock nacional ao longo da década de 1980 tornou-se uma importante forma de expressão cultural de massa. Não somente pelo processo de profissionalização da indústria cultural que ampliou significativamente o consumo e a circulação, mas, sobretudo, por reverberar certos anseios e angústias específicas daquela geração. Tendo em vista tal movimento de autonomização e de construção de uma linguagem peculiar, o objetivo deste ensaio é indicar certa sensibilidade sobre o tempo que ganha contorno na poética da banda Legião Urbana (1982-1996) entre 1985 e 1991. Trata-se, portanto, de uma tentativa de articulação entre experiência do tempo e uma estética melancólica, atendo-se aos afetos mobilizados e ao jogo entre esperança e frustração.
Entre silêncios e ruídos: a Anistia na Assembleia Constituinte de 1987/88
Authors: Souza Mayara Paiva , Sandes Noé Freire
Published: February 2018

Este texto tem por objetivo analisar os debates acerca da anistia e os usos do passado na Assembleia Constituinte de 1987/88. A partir de tais debates podemos perceber como o passado foi posto em negociação, reinterpretado e difundido em meio a um processo de transição política que visava à passagem de um regime discricionário para a consolidação de um regime democrático. Por meio das negociações em torno da anistia o jogo entre a lembrança e o esquecimento aparece como estratégia política para aqueles homens envolvidos na construção de um novo regime político no país. Dessa forma, o passado ditatorial foi negociado a partir dos embates políticos e embates de memória que foram travados no contexto da transição e culminaram no plenário da Constituinte. Dentro desse quadro, a partir dos diários e anais das Assembleia Constituinte, bem como de periódicos e obras memorialísticas, pretende-se avaliar, por intermédio dos debates acerca da anistia, as estratégias e negociações em torno do passado, e de sua interpretação, no período. Assim, analisamos os usos do passado: os embates políticos, os silêncios e ruídos que deixaram marcas, cicatrizes e questões que ainda hoje aguardam respostas. Interlocução complexa que se situa entre o terreno da memória e da história.

Heard It through the Grapevine: Conceptualizing Informal Control through the Lens of Social Network Theory
Authors: Tucker Basil P.
Published: February 2018

The investigation of management control has been a continuing theme in management accounting research over the past four decades. Although studies in this area collectively constitute a considerable body of knowledge, the vast majority of research attention has been directed to the design or use associated with formal management control systems (MCS). However, although often recognized as fundamentally inherent within organizational control environments, few studies have explicitly investigated informal control, despite its pervasiveness and the effects repeatedly attributed to it in the overall organizational control package. Predicated on the view that this knowledge gap may be largely explainable by the difficulties associated with conceptualizing and, therefore, operationalizing informal control, the purpose of this study is to advance the use of social network theory as a means to provide a deeper understanding about how informal control operates within organizations, and as an aid in developing more fully specified control models.

Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE

In view of low prevalence rates, diabetes is discussed as a protective factor for the occurrence of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Furthermore, it was associated with improved outcome in a small single-center analysis. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence and prognostic relevance of concomitant diabetes in TTS.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A total of 826 patients with TTS were enrolled in an international, multicenter, registry-based study (eight centers in Italy and Germany). All-cause mortality was compared between patients with diabetes and patients without diabetes, and the independent predictive value of diabetes was evaluated in multivariate regression analysis.

RESULTS

The prevalence of diabetes was 21.1% (n = 174). TTS patients with diabetes were older (P < 0.001), were more frequently male (P = 0.003), had a higher prevalence of hypertension (P < 0.001), physical triggers (P = 0.041), and typical apical ballooning (P = 0.010), had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.008), had a higher rate of pulmonary edema (P = 0.032), and had a longer hospital stay (P = 0.009). However, 28-day all-cause mortality did not differ between patients with diabetes and patients without diabetes (6.4% vs. 5.7%; hazard ratio [HR] 1.11 [95% CI 0.55–2.25]; P = 0.772). Longer-term follow-up after a median of 2.5 years revealed a significantly higher mortality among TTS patients with diabetes (31.4% vs. 16.5%; P < 0.001), and multivariate regression analysis identified diabetes as an independent predictor of adverse outcome (HR 1.66 [95% CI 1.16–2.39]; P = 0.006).

CONCLUSIONS

Diabetes is not uncommon in patients with TTS, is associated with increased longer-term mortality rates, and is an independent predictor of adverse outcome irrespective of additional risk factors.
The Handwork of Folkloristic-Ethnological Knowledge
Authors: Korolainen Kari Tapio
Published: February 2018

Drawing is discussed here, both from the historical and from the contemporary folklore and material culture stance. Folklore collector Samuli Paulaharju’s (1875–1944) drawings serve as a point of departure; again, cultural studies constitute the background, as the notion of representation and the construction of folkloristic-ethnologic knowledge are stressed. Material and visual culture comprises yet other central viewpoints. The research material consists of Paulaharju’s folkloristic descriptions (at the SKS) of the interlacements, as knots and lattices. The materials are discussed in the context of magic and belief, at first, and of folk games and plays further back. The research question is: how Paulaharju constructs the meanings of the interlacements by means of drawings? The method of membership categorization analysis (MCA) is combined with multimodal analysis, since the drawing–texts relations are analysed in detail. Thus, the examination demonstrates, that not only several drawing methods are utilised, but also the contexts, as agrarian life, appear diversified when the drawings are concerned. Then, by applying drawing innovatively and experimenting with it, Paulaharju operated between distinct viewpoints, and also challenged the established folkloristic practises. Accordingly, wide interestedness and learning-by-drawing are emphasised more than drawing as a restricted – or restrictive – orientation.

Published: February 2018

This paper wants to explain about the acceleration of the development of Islamic science viewed from a philosophical perspective. At least this discussion reveals its development from a socio-historical point of view and its acceleration process. The development of Islamic sciences and the process of acceleration of scholarship in Islam will never stop, because the scientific process itself will develop based on phenomena and various phenomena of world life that still show signs of life. The development of Islamic sciences is essentially a blend of revelation and intellectual thought, where through brilliant thought and courage to interpret the signs given by Allah, human beings are able to formulate various experiences to make and accelerate the development of science.
“Que se quede el infinito sin estrellas”: El devenir diva en la performance de Pedro Lemebel
Authors: Jarpa Manzur María Pilar
Published: February 2018

Dentro de las prácticas de subversión que se promueven en la performance de Pedro Lemebel, persiste un uso ritualizado de la figuración de algunas divas latinoamericanas de mediados del siglo XX. Al tiempo de deconstruir el discurso homofóbico de la dictadura cívico-militar chilena, Lemebel va trazando desde sus reapropiaciones no sólo un devenir mujer sino un devenir diva que, entre sus múltiples dimensiones, in-corpora diferencias de género, sexo, etnia, lengua, reivindicando con ellas una diversidad de cuerpos desafiantes. La complicidad que puede entreverse con estas figuraciones de lo femenino abre un atractivo campo de análisis para explorar lugares comunes y sugestivos puntos de fuga, por donde se movilizan como referentes de antiguas y futuras irreverencias
La crisis de la autoridad del etnografiado. Metodologías encubiertas e investigación en derechos humanos y población vulnerable: Dos estudios de caso en México
Authors: Muñoz Martínez Rubén , Salinas Claudia
Published: February 2018

A partir de dos estudios de caso correspondientes a dos investigaciones en el campo de la salud sexual, la ciudadanía sexual y los derechos humanos que apelan, de distinta forma, a técnicas de investigación encubierta, se discuten algunos alcances y limitaciones de las aproximaciones metodológicas no basadas en el consentimiento informado. Dos preguntas constituyen el eje central del artículo: ¿existen investigaciones que, en su inicio, desarrollo y/o productos, cumplan siempre con el consentimiento informado? Y, si el carácter inacabado del consentimiento informado es un estado de las cosas y una opción investigativa, ¿cuándo se visibiliza o no que una investigación tiene un carácter parcial o totalmente encubierto? ¿Quién lo hace? ¿Y para qué? Las metodologías y sus prácticas específicas requieren evidenciar y problematizar, en este caso a través de la llamada a su transformación, los campos de relaciones sociales ideológicamente configurados que las constituyen.

Tuberculosis remains a serious global health problem despite the widespread use of the vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Up to now, the only available TB vaccine, Mycobacterium bovis BCG has a very wide efficacy range from 0 until 80 percent protection so the development of a new vaccine is needed. The new protein as a candidate vaccine should be assessed for their immunogenicity. The purpose of this study was to examine whether Mycobacterium tuberculosis 38 kDa recombinant protein could stimulate a cellular immune response especially CD3+T lymphocytes to express IL-2 and IL-4 in PBMC cultures. An experimental laboratory research on cultured PBMC of 3 groups consisting of TB patients, contacts of TB positive and healthy subjects, each group consisted of 8 subjects. All PBMC cultures were induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis 38 kDa recombinant protein, Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) and without antigen as a control. Expression of IL-2 and IL-4 CD3+ T lymphocytes was measured with flowcytometry. In healthy volunteers and TB contacts there was a significant difference in the expression of IL-2 and IL-4 CD3+ T lymphocytes compared with no any treatment. The highest IL-2 expression was in healthy subjects [8.13 (0.622)] while the highest expression of IL-4 was in TB patients [6.436 (4.586)]. Mycobacterium tuberculosis 38 kDa recombinant protein could induce the expression of IL-2 and IL-4 of CD3+ T lymphocytes in healthy subjects, TB contacts and TB patients and there were a significance differences in the expression of all groups
