Authors: Lancioni Giulio E , Alberti Gloria , Filippini Chiara , Singh Nirbhay N , O’Reilly Mark F , Sigafoos Jeff , Orlando Isabella , Desideri Lorenzo
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

People with severe or profound intellectual disability and visual impairment tend to have serious problems in orientation and mobility and need assistance for their indoor traveling. The use of technology solutions may be critically important to help them curb those problems and achieve a level of independence.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess a new technology system to help people with severe to profound intellectual disability and blindness find room destinations during indoor traveling.

METHODS

A total of 7 adults were included in the study. The technology system entailed a barcode reader, a series of barcodes marking the room entrances, a smartphone, and a special app that controlled the presentation of different messages (instructions) for the participants. The messages varied depending on whether the participants were (1) in an area between room entrances, (2) in correspondence with a room entrance to bypass, or (3) in correspondence with a room entrance representing the destination to enter. The intervention with the technology system was implemented according to a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across participants. Sessions included 7 traveling trials, in each of which the participants were to reach and enter a specific room (1 of the 7 or 9 available) to deliver an object they had carried (transported) during their traveling.

RESULTS

The participants’ mean frequency of traveling trials completed correctly was between zero and 2 per session during the baseline (without the system). Their mean frequency increased to between about 6 and nearly 7 per session during the intervention (with the system).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest that the new technology system might be a useful support tool for people with severe to profound intellectual disability and blindness.

Authors: Wu Kuan-Ching , Belza Basia , Berry Donna , Lewis Frances , Zaslavsky Oleg
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Older adults with dementia are at higher risk of hospitalized for urinary tract infections (UTIs), with worse health outcomes. Digital interventions, such as smartphone apps, wearable devices, and telehealth, hold promise for improving UTI detection, monitoring, and prevention. However, their effectiveness for people with dementia and their caregivers remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to identify: 1) The types of digital interventions and devices used for UTI management and prevention in people with dementia and their caregivers; and 2) The outcome variables and key findings of these interventions.

METHODS

A scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA-ScR framework, searching PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, IEEE Xplore, and Web of Science for studies from 1998 to 2024. The review included quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies that described digital interventions for UTI management in persons with dementia. Studies were excluded if they lacked detailed intervention descriptions or outcome reporting. Data were charted and summarized to address the study aims.

RESULTS

Seven studies were included from 1800 screened. Three digital interventions were evaluated: Technology Integrated Health Management (TIHM), a real-time locating system (RTLS), and a smart diaper system (SDS). The TIHM and RTLS showed high effectiveness in UTI detection, with sensitivities up to 91%, while the SDS had lower sensitivity.

CONCLUSIONS

The review highlights the potential of sensor-based technology and AI in early UTI detection. However, most interventions lack theoretical foundations and preventive strategies, suggesting a need for more comprehensive approaches involving caregivers and clinical guidelines.

The Development of Theoretical Research on Ecological Economics
Authors: Zhang Jingjing
Published: November 2024

To solve global ecological crisis and promote the development of economy and society environmental friendly, changing the mode of economic growth is important. However, ecological economics goes beyond environmental economics and critique on traditional economics. New concepts and theoretical research approaches should be brought in to a special stage of economic growth called zero-growth economy and also, shouldering the task of moderating social economic contradictions. Ecological economics takes more complicated approaches to environmental problems and focuses on long-term environmental sustainability and issues of scale. It can been seen that keeping sustainable ability of ecological environment through international cooperation will realize the harmonious development of social economy, the best welfare for human beings, therefore, the view of sustainable development has deep and wide connotations.

Published: November 2024

Abstract: Lightweight concrete provides a sustainable way to decrease the weight of structures, improve heat insulation, reduce
environmental impact and make buildings more resistant to earthquakes. This research looks at creating lightweight concrete
using fly ash (30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%) instead of some cement and thermocol (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%) instead of some fine
aggregates. We made 78 cube samples (each 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm) and 26 cylindrical samples (150 mm in diameter and
300 mm in height). These samples were made and then kept for different periods before testing. The samples are classified into
two groups: one was left for 7 days of curing and the other for 28 days. Each group has three cubes to study how much pressure
they could handle and for the cylindrical samples, we tested one from each group to see how much force they could resist. The
aim is to make the concrete lighter while maintaining the required strength. Fly ash, which comes from burning coal, makes the
concrete easier to work with and more environmentally friendly. Thermocol makes the concrete much lighter and better at
insulating heat. The concrete samples were tested for their compressive and tensile strength during testing. The results showed
that the concrete became much lighter maintaining the required strength, making it compatible for the desired purpose. By
including waste materials such as fly ash and thermocol, this method provides a more environmentally friendly and cheaper
alternative to regular cement concrete mixture. The results show that it can cut material costs, reduce CO₂ emissions, and
encourage sustainable building practices. This approach of using lightweight concrete significantly contributes to the
development of sustainable infrastructure while addressing the growing demand for less environmentally conscious construction
practices.
Experimental Evaluation of Thermal Conductivity in Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites for Aerospace Applications
Authors: Venkatesh  , H Kashinath S V , N Yogavardhan Swamy G
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This paper aims to study the thermal conductivity properties of GFRP composites and their prospect in aerospace
sectors. GFRP composites are gradually becoming the material of choice in aerospace, given the properties of low density, high
strength, and high durability. However, it is critical to comprehend their thermal properties for efficiency in habitats
characteristic of aeronautical environments. The work will seek to assess and quantify the thermal conductivity of the GFRP
composites and establish the influence of fiber orientation, volume fraction and temperature in the thermal properties of the
composites. Composite samples were prepared from E-glass and epoxy-amine prepreg’s with controlled layup and post curing.
Some important measures in this work were thermal conductivity, which was tested by a laser flash method, and depend on
conditions, offering valid information. In general, findings show that fiber orientation plays a major role in determining the
thermal conductivity of the samples examined, where the highest conductivity is recorded on the samples where the fiber
orientation is parallel to the direction of heat transfer. Higher fiber volume fraction was also found to improve thermal
conductivity. Moreover, the temperature dependence analysis showed a fly increase of thermal conductivity at high temperatures
that suggests that the material is capable of handling temperatures stress.
The results indicate that GFRP composites have the right thermal characteristic appropriate for aerospace application, especially
where thermal management is crucial for a particular part. Thus, more research is advised that particularly emphasizes the use
of different types of fiber, various types of polymer matrices as well as different hybrid composites suited for high stress
conditions. This research provides important information concerning the application of GFRP composites in the aerospace
sector, including the ongoing development of lightweight, insulating materials suitable for this sector.

Published: November 2024

Abstract: The research presents DeepUrbanMapper, an innovative framework developed for the translation of satellite imagery
into Google Maps-style renderings utilizing advanced image-to-image translation techniques. It is based on Generative
Adversarial Networks (GANs), widely known in machine learning for their ability to yield high-quality images. To train it, the
process involves a carefully curated and labeled dataset that consists of paired satellite and map images, enabling
DeepUrbanMapper to learn the complex mappings between these two distinct visual domains. The GAN architecture used in
DeepUrbanMapper is carefully designed and optimized to preserve spatial coherence and improve visual quality of the translated
image. This helps in producing output maps that are close to the ground truth in both visual and geographical aspects. The
proposed method includes few novel strategies to stabilize the GAN training and to overcome the notorious mode collapse
problem and ensure a consistent output. DeepUrbanMapper has been extensively evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively for
its performance. The evaluation shows that the new framework significantly outperforms the existing methods in terms of visual
realism of the translated image and its ability to retain detailed features of the input satellite image which opens up many
possibilities urban planning, car navigation systems, GIS.

Authors: Kaushik Pradeep S , Sharma Kannamedi Arun , S Jayashree N
Published: November 2024

Abstract: The recent view of health is not just an absence of illness but is defined as an overall wellness of the body and mind.
This was much earlier conceptualised by the ancient Indian traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda. The state of body
equilibrium can be achieved by proper diet and sadvritta which means good practices. In Ayurveda, the role of diet has been
explained by Ahara kalpana and one of the important forms of it is Yusha. Yusha is a soup form of preparation made of cooked
pulses and various herbs in different proportions. Various types of Yusha have been known for their multiple health benefits,
both preventive and therapeutic. The components of Yusha have been known for their therapeutic benefits and has been proved
by modern scientific research. Nowadays, as there is an increase in the incidence of lifestyle disorders, it is quite significant to
understand and implement the use of Yusha as a component of diet therapy. This review attempts in introducing Yusha, its
classification, methods of preparation and therapeutic benefits.

A Scientific Examination of the 21-Foot Rule
Authors: Sandel William L. , Martaindale M. Hunter , Blair J. Pete
Published: November 2024

An officer can draw and fire a single shot in 1.43 seconds on average when under stress, while a person can cover 21 feet in 1.5 seconds on average, meaning that 21 feet is not a safe distance for officers.
A suspect would have to be about 32 feet away for an average of 95% of officers to draw and fire a single shot.
Various officer movements can help increase the survivability of such encounters, but movements are often dictated by the environment.
More Than Use of Force: Examining Alternative Outcomes for Police De-Escalation Training
Authors: White Michael D. , Orosco Carlena , Watts Seth
Published: November 2024

Police de-escalation training in Tempe, Arizona was evaluated, which aimed to equip officers with enhanced interpersonal and tactical skills. The evaluation was done by providing some officers with training, but not others. By conducting phone surveys of community members who interacted with the police and analyzing body-worn camera (BWC) footage, the authors were able to examine how the training influenced officer behaviour during routine, non-force encounters.
The phone surveys showed that officers who completed the training were more likely to use procedural justice, emotional regulation, and de-escalation; they were also more likely to leave community members satisfied with their treatment by officers and with the resolution of the encounter. Results from BWC footage analysis were mixed but useful for understanding the complexities of police-community member encounters.
Given that use of force is a rare event in police-community encounters, it cannot be the only outcome assessed in evaluations of de-escalation training. A comprehensive assessment of deescalation training should consider several outcomes, and researchers should investigate training effects in routine encounters that do not involve the use of force

Sketching is an interview technique whereby an eyewitness is asked to draw parts of what they experienced, while also telling in their own words what happened.
Sketching is a beneficial tool for investigative interviewers because it improves their comprehension of eyewitness accounts beyond just listening.
Seeing a sketch of the interviewee’s recall at the same time as hearing the experience appears to be the most effective approach – this is known as a concurrent sketch.
Understanding Police Use of Force and Subject Injuries: From Unarmed Physical Force to Firearms
Authors: Hay Chantelle , Ferguson Shannon , Carpenter Randy , Bozeman William P.
Published: November 2024

Police use of force (UOF) can involve a variety of methods and tools. To better understand how operational and situational factors play a role in UOF injuries, it is important that police, criminologists, and medical experts work together.
Data from three police departments in the United States (US) indicate that police UOF is rare. When forceful actions were applied by officers, subjects usually experienced no injuries or mild injuries. The likelihood of sustaining an injury was influenced by the UOF method.
Understanding UOF events is vital for addressing public misconceptions and it enables officers to make informed decisions when selecting a UOF option by better understanding the potential outcomes associated with each option.
Las demandas estratégicas contra la participación pública (SLAPP): El desafío del abuso de los sistemas judiciales y avances de la normativa anti SLAPP
Authors: Graña Gianoni Javier
Published: November 2024

Las demandas estratégicas contra la participación pública (SLAPP, por sus siglas en inglés) son un fenómeno reciente que tiene como objetivo el acoso y censura de activistas de derechos humanos, junto con periodistas, medios de comunicación independientes, alertadores de corrupción, así como otras personas implicadas en la sociedad civil y en temáticas de interés público. Su utilización ha motivado la adopción de instrumentos nacionales de protección en otras partes del mundo. Novedosamente, la reciente Directiva 2024/1069 es el primer marco normativo internacional. En 2021, la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos por primera vez en su historia hizo referencia al concepto SLAPP en el fallo del caso Palacio Urrutia y otros vs. Ecuador. El incremento de demandas estratégicas y los altos índices de hostigamiento judicial ameritan un nuevo enfoque en busca del establecimiento de nuevos estándares regionales de protección y de asegurar la coherencia de los deberes estatales.

Published: November 2024

Intellectual Capital provides an alternative to conventional accounting, tackling the hurdle of dealing with intangible assets. Over the past few decades, various measurement methods have been developed. However, these methods are primarily tailored to specific types of companies and are often unsuitable for micro and small businesses. Based on this context, the objective of this study is to propose a novel framework to assist readers, academics, and managers identifying the most suitable method for measuring Intellectual Capital by articulating the following traits: purpose, economic sector, and business size. This study adopts an exploratory-descriptive approach with a qualitative methodology, employing a Systematic Literature Review, Content Analysis, and Design Science to achieve its objectives. To determine the goals and methods of measuring Intellectual Capital, this study employed content analysis in the mixed category, with descriptors defined and adjusted as the research progressed. As a result, seven purposes, fifty-eight methods for measuring Intellectual Capital, four economic sectors, and five business sizes were identified, categorized, and incorporated into the proposed framework. Thus, the novel framework proposed by this study is primarily intended to guide stakeholders through the various possibilities for measuring and disseminating Intellectual Capital across corporations, cities, and even nations. As a final recommendation for future research, applying the framework to real-world situations in both the public and private sectors is encouraged.

UTILIZAÇÃO DA APICECTOMIA NA CIRURGIA PARENDODÔNTICA: Uma revisão narrativa da literatura
Authors: Lima Elias Gabriel de , Botelho Eduardo Silva
Published: November 2024

Parendodontic surgery is a procedure used in chronic cases of persistent periapical infection, in addition to cases of calcified root canals where conventional endodontic treatment has not been successful. This technique may be associated with apicoectomy for cases in which it is necessary to apicotomize a root, and is considered a very invasive procedure. Even so, it is a modality that receives great prominence among endodontic procedures, since it aims to remove bacteria present in the apical region, in addition to preventing other microorganisms from re-entering the apical tissues of the canal. Given the importance of this therapeutic technique, the present study aimed to discuss the impressions contained in the literature regarding the use of apicoectomy in parendodontic surgery, discussing its indications and importance in current clinical practice. The study was developed through a narrative review of the literature, with the selection of studies published between 2020 and 2024 and made available in the SCIELO, Publimed and Google Scholar databases. Based on the application of the research criteria, eight studies were selected, which reinforce the importance of endodontic surgery associated with apicoectomy as a highly efficient technique for cases of failure of conventional endodontic treatment. Through the selected studies, it was found that when indicated appropriately and executed correctly by professionals, this technique allows for efficient treatment. In addition, it is essential that professionals who perform this technique have the necessary knowledge and skills, in addition to the use of appropriate materials that can guarantee the best therapeutic results.

Georgii Adamovich: From "Russkie Novosti" to "Russkaia Mysl'"
Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, Demidova Olga R.
Published: November 2024

The paper, based on epistolary sources of the 1940s–1950s, reconstructs Georgy Adamovich’s life and literary activities against the general historical and cultural background during the period of the most acute political and ideological conflicts of early post-World War II years. The chronological boundaries of the paper embrace the time of Adamovich’s collaboration with “Russkie novosti”, a pro-Soviet newspaper, on one hand, and the beginning of his collaboration with the democratic “Russkaia mysl’”, on the other. The aim of the paper is to present a detailed reconstruction of social and literary events of the Parisian part of the diaspora from May 1945 through March 1956, the reconstruction being based on a comparative historical and literary analysis of Adamovich’s correspondence with A.V. Bakhrakh, A.A. Poliakov, and the Bunins, as well as of Bunins’ correspondence with Teffi. The analysis of the correspondence makes it possible to reveal the causes of communication gaps in the diaspora, to clarify the specifics of conflicts in the editorial boards of the said newspapers, and to reconstruct Adamovich’s attitude towards both newspapers.
Nina Berberova’s Black Notebook: Diary as a Public Genre
Authors:   State University of Trieste, Deotto Patrizia
Published: November 2024

The article deals with “Black Notebook”, a diary written during the World War II which is inserted into chapter six of the autobiographical text titled “The Italics Are Mine”. It illustrates a form of prevalence of a diary writing which is not spontaneous, but controlled in its intimate dimension. This is the result of the reconstruction aimed at confirming the existential path traced in the autobiography, and oriented on the one hand to record the way in which Berberova focuses on situations and interprets the flow of life; on the other hand, it bears witness to current events through a fragmentary narrative of the progress of the events themselves and the reaction and behavior of the persons involved in them.
"Achieve meaning and burn out..." — Boris Poplavskii, Critic and Thinker (an Approache to the Problem)
Authors:   Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Tsimborska-Leboda Maria
Published: November 2024

The present article has outgrown of analysis of Boris Poplavskii’s critical texts, as well as his letters and Diaries, reflecting his “Paris experience”. The aim of the analysis is to consider their semantic unity, based on topoi of the poet’s thinking and his philosophical style. As the point of the departure for interpretation there serves a short citation from Poplavskii’s text (appearing in the title of the present article), which sends one thinking of cultural tradition (Nietzsche’s symbolism of burning, Zen'kovskii’s dialectics of Russian pursuits, the philosophy of sense in the titles of works by Russian thinkers). The article discusses the semantic field of the notions of sense and arriving at sense as they appear in Poplavskii’s writings in their relation to 1) the concept of being-in-emigration and viewing the emigration as a kind of a “new Noah’s ark,” the beginning of a new personal life in its communion with higher values, the sphere of Freedom and Spirit; 2) the perception of the situation of Europe and the crisis of European culture in “the epoch of the absence of God”; 3) perception of Christianity, the figure of the kenotic Christ, with apology of the “truth of pity.” The results of the analysis make it possible to point to some similarities between Poplavskii’s thought and the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas as well as the philosophy of Nikolai Berdiaev (reflections on evangelical morality, of what remained unrealized in Christianity, of the emergence of “pure liberated spirituality”).
Mikhail Bulgakov's Novel "The Master and Margarita" in the Repertoire of Posev Publishing House: Sources, Research, Problems
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Mishurovskaya Maria V. , Savranskaya Мarina E. ,   Mikhail Bulgakov State Museum
Published: November 2024

The objectives of this study are related to the search for an answer to the question: what sources were used by Posev publishing house for the publication of The Master and Margarita by M.A. Bulgakov (released in 1969), which opened the full text of the novel to Russian-speaking readers for the first time. The article considers the specifics of the text sources that were available for Posev publishing house (this topic is practically not represented in the currently known corpus of works on the history of Bulgakov's novel; it was first touched upon in the works of L.M. Yanovskaya). The authors of the article conduct a comparative analysis of both published and unpublished sources related to the publication history of the novel in “Moskva”, the Soviet literary magazine, as well as the sources of preparation of the novel for publication by Posev publishing house (in particular, documents stored in the archive of the publishing house), as well as with the German translation of the novel released by Luchterhand publishing house. The source analysis leads to the following conclusion: by the publication of the novel in Posev publishing house not only the editions of the censored text, as well as a separate edition of the censored fragments of the novel themselves (published in 1967 in Bern) were used as the sources, but also the German translation of the novel’s full text, made by T.

Authors:   University of Macerata, Larocca Giuseppina
Published: November 2024

Based on unpublished archival documents from Ardengo Soffichi’s collection (1879–1964) held by the State Archive in Florence, this paper examines the cultural relationships between the Italian artist Soffichi and some of the most prominent figures of the first Russian emigration wave from 1903 to 1962. Besides unpublished papers, the present contribution looks at some important aspects of the previously published correspondence between Soffichi and the Russian painter Sergei Iastrebtsov (1881–1958), and argues that it was this fruitful tandem which prompted the first translations of Chekhov's works in Italy. Moreover, the letters which Soffichi received from artists and writers such as Edita Brol'o and Il'ia Zdanevich during 1950s and 1960s demonstrate that the avant-garde experience was still very much alive among the earliest Russian émigrés.

Authors: Levchenko Valery V.
Published: November 2024

The main points of the emigration life of the Russian literary critic S. Vilinsky are reconstructed on the basis of a wide range of archival sources and scientific literature in the article. The chief trends of his creativity during his stay in the Czechoslovak Republic are considered. Therefore, the biobibliographic information concerning his scientific activities, works on the history of literature in the field of medieval studies and modern era become of particular importance. The political and social-economic situation in which he lived, the coincidence of circumstances that affected the development and direction of his scientific activity are analyzed. The academic adaptation of a Russian scientist during the emigration period is considered. It is noted that the introduction of S. Vilinsky to living conditions and scientific work in another country were determined by objective and subjective factors: the policy of local authorities concerning emigrants, as well as the psychological characteristics of the scholar's personality. Attention is paid to the most significant events in his life, which to a certain extent contributed to his scientific direction change.
Vila em festa ou festa na vila?
Authors: De Oliveira Josilene Ribeiro
Published: November 2024

Este artigo discute a atuação e as estratégias dos “empreendedores do turismo” na produção e transformação das festas juninas locais em um produto turístico da cidade de Areia, na Paraíba. Baseado em um estudo de natureza qualitativa, metodologicamente suportado por dados etnográficos, provenientes da observação, de conversações informais e de entrevistas, a ênfase está nas atividades lúdico-religiosas realizadas na comunidade rural Chã de Jardim. Coteja também revisão bibliográfica específica, pondo em relevo a teoria da performance como abordagem capaz de oferecer uma alternativa à interpretação dicotômica que associa as mudanças culturais decorrentes da atividade turística à aculturação e à perda da autenticidade das comunidades receptoras. Os resultados sugerem que, tal qual a memória se reconstrói no presente e em função deste, as mudanças na forma de viver e celebrar as festas juninas parecem revelar um movimento contínuo de ressignificação das práticas socioculturais tradicionalmente estabelecidas para se adequar às necessidades do presente.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Festas populares. Turismo. Performatividade na cultura. Comunidade Chã de Jardim/PB.
Gestão na Política Pública de Saúde e (des)continuidade na prevenção e combate a doenças em municípios pernambucanos
Authors: Marcajá Alves Maria do Carmo , Borba Marcelo da Costa , Santos Ramos Josefa Edileide , Melo Barros Jose Eduardo , Carla Ceolin Alessandra
Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o processo de descontinuidade na gestão de Política Pública de Saúde em municípios pernambucanos de Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Caruaru, Igarassu, Petrolina, Tamandaré no período de 2010 a 2018. Sendo assim, foi realizada entrevista com gestores dos respectivos municípios. Como resultado, apresenta-se uma intensa descontinuidade política, na troca de governos, principalmente em partidos de oposição. Ratificando que esta troca no comando político suscita dúvidas sobre a continuidade das políticas anteriormente desenvolvidas e provoca ainda a perda de muitas ações políticas já desenvolvida. Com o corte temporal a gestões anteriores de governo, pode ficar comprometida, pois, a troca de pessoas da gestão acarreta numa interrupção baseada em experiência não vividas, ficando a gestão sucessora embasada por dados quantitativos e pouca memória.

Política Externa, Relações Internacionais e Políticas Públicas
Authors: Lisboa Marcelino Teixeira , Pozo Karen Bombón
Published: November 2024

O texto discute algumas definições de política externa, apontando similaridades e diferenças com as relações internacionais e com as políticas públicas, além de desenvolver a ideia do que é processo decisório e o que são diretrizes de política externa. Verificou-se que as relações internacionais e a política externa têm a similaridade de abordar fenômenos que ocorrem através das fronteiras e diferenciam-se pelo fato de que a política externa é necessariamente uma atividade governamental, diferente das relações internacionais, que podem ser exercidas por atores não estatais. As políticas públicas e a política externa diferenciam-se pelo fato de que a política externa possui o elemento internacional, que pode não estar presente nas demais políticas públicas; a política externa é também uma política pública, tendo o elemento internacional como o que a diferencia das demais. Ambas se assimilam pelo fato de passarem por procedimentos político administrativos e são atividades de governo. O processo decisório é uma etapa da política externa na qual ocorrem diversas tomadas de decisão, em um processo que envolve a interação entre diversificados atores. As decisões são guiadas por diretrizes, que são as linhas guia que os tomadores de decisão devem considerar no momento da tomada de decisão.
A agenda governamental local: o caso da política de turismo em Ouro Preto
Authors: Silva Fernanda Cristina , Ianni Segatto Catarina , Carvalho Teixeira Marco Antonio
Published: November 2024

Este artigo busca analisar os fatores que influenciam mudanças relacionadas à política de turismo na agenda governamental local a partir de abordagens teóricas da área de políticas públicas que explicam esse processo. O estudo de caso único, Ouro Preto - Minas Gerais, foi importante para compreender em profundidade um tema ainda pouco explorado, mas que pode contribuir como referência para analisar um fenômeno que é global – o turismo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores públicos, lideranças locais e representantes de organizações privadas e da sociedade civil envolvidos com a atividade turística no município, e analisados por meio do método de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que mudanças políticas foram influenciadas por uma alternância entre duas ideias – a promoção do turismo como desenvolvimento econômico e a preservação do patrimônio – a partir da atuação de determinados atores que foram chave para construir consensos em torno dessas ideias colocadas como antagônicas e incompatíveis. Conclui-se que a forma como o turismo historicamente tem sido tratado na agenda governamental de Ouro Preto é influenciada pelo contexto político e pelas ideias que os atores políticos locais possuem sobre seus resultados no desenvolvimento da cidade.
Partidos, eleições e desigualdades em saúde nos municípios brasileiros
Authors: Santana Machado Gabriel
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho objetiva identificar de que forma os fatores políticos se relacionam com as desigualdades em saúde a partir da abordagem das capacidades estatais, considerando que estas indicam uma condição necessária para uma redução potencial das desigualdades em saúde. Para isso foi formulado um indicador sintético de capacidades estatais em saúde para os 5.570 municípios brasileiros de 2013 a 2015, e por meio de análises descritivas e modelos econométricos de regressão de dados em painel e regressão logística se buscou responder às seguintes perguntas: (I) a dependência dos eleitores sobre o sistema público de saúde se correlaciona com os níveis de capacidade estatal em saúde e consequentemente nos níveis de desigualdade ?; (II) os partidos de esquerda reduzem mais as desigualdades em saúde em relação aos outros partidos?; e (III) os governos municipais que reduzem as desigualdades em saúde são recompensados politicamente por meio da reeleição? Os resultados indicam que (I) maiores níveis de dependência se correlacionam com maiores níveis de capacidade estatal; (II) os partidos de esquerda não reduzem mais as desigualdades em saúde; (III) os eleitores recompensam os governos municipais pela redução das desigualdades em saúde, embora não haja um padrão unanime em relação a este aspecto.
