Published: May 2019

Em face da realização da Copa do Mundo de futebol da FIFA em 2014 e dos Jogos Olímpicos em 2016 no Brasil, ‘megaevento’ e ‘legados’ tornaram-se termos bastante presentes em nosso cotidiano, gerando um número crescente de debates e investigações. Neste texto, a partir da noção de que estes termos não estão ainda adequadamente compreendidos, reviso a definição sobre ‘megaevento’ e as conclusões até agora existentes sobre seus legados presentes na literatura. Isto permite apontar alguns elementos e questões para debates e intervenções cientificamente mais sólidos.
Social performance rating in Co-operatives
Authors: Kinyuira Daniel K.
Published: May 2019

Social performance is a management process capable of making corporate performance more inclusive, effective and fair. For almost two centuries, co-operatives are perceived as instruments of social change that are well positioned to lead in social performance through their internationally accepted values and principles. However, due to the potential importance of economic objectives to stakeholders’ welfare, like in most firms, financial parameters often overshadow social performance standards in co-operatives. Social performance research in co-operatives is also scanty since most studies relate to financial performance. This study surveyed managers from 100 Savings and credit co-operatives societies in Kenya on the extent operations in co-operatives reflect social performance dimensions. Extant literature revealed social performance management as a catalyst for economic performance of a firm. In particular, the study identified social performance as a key value driver to superior performance and social performance management an essential key performance indicator to any enterprise desiring to “doing good” to the community. Data analysis found co-operatives low in social performance as they do not meet the indicators by 45%, partially meets the indicators by 22% and only meets the indicators by 33%. The finding reveals that co-operatives should not claim as exemplary in social performance based merely on social and community orientation. Thus, the expose is an exhibit that many organizations may not be practicing the social ideals they claim to uphold or represent. The study is expected to help co-operatives to improve on ‘what good the organizations are doing with their profit to people and the planet’ which consequently would improve sustainable performance and competitiveness.

Background/Aim. Dental caries represents a health problem of all ages, but it is especially significant in the earliest age of children. Early childhood caries can develop immediately after the eruption of deciduous teeth, resulting in many complications, such as tooth extraction, which is reflected in the quality of life and health. Early childhood caries is influenced by a large number of predictors. Considering that the data on predictors for the development of deciduous teeth caries are scarce, the aim of this paper was to determine the prevalence of deciduous teeth caries and detect the predictors for the development of early childhood caries. Methods. Our survey included 117 children of both genders, aged 3 to 6 years, from the territory of Kosovska Mitrovica and Zvecan. All respondents, including children and parents, were surveyed, and thus general data was obtained. A dental examination was performed on all children. The current state of dental health was inserted into special research cards that were in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Those predictors of dental health level that were statistically significant in models of univariate ordinal logistic regression at the significance level of 0.05 were included in the model of multivariate ordinal logistic regression. Results. According to the full structure, there were 49.6% of boys and 50.4% of girls. Healthy teeth were present in 25 (21.4%) children, 19 had reversible changes (16.2%), while 73 (62.4%) children had irreversible carious changes on teeth. The most important detected predictors were sweets consummation, sleeping with a baby bottle, 6 and more meals per day, frequent usage of medical syrups, child?s daily tooth-brushing frequency, child?s independent toothbrushing frequency, usage of non-fluoride toothpaste, a lack of professional fluoride application, and mouth breathing. Conclusion. This research contributed to the detection of a large number of predictors that are most important for the development of early childhood caries. In order to reduce the risk of caries development, it is necessary to act in more spheres. This certainly requires planning and implementing preventive dental programs.

Background/Aim. Recent studies indicate that adipokines have an important role in bone physiology and pathology. Recent data indicate that adipokine leptin functions as a regulator of bone growth at multiple levels, systemically and locally. So far, it has been shown that leptin influences bone volume and bone mineral density in a population with metabolic and/or hormonal abnormality. Data concerning leptin values in non-obese children with fractures are scarce. Methods. This study included 93 non-obese children with long bone fractures (LBF), 14 children with short bone fractures (SBF), and 19 healthy children. Leptin concentration was determined in two blood samples (day 0 and day 21) and analyzed according to gender, fracture type, anatomical localization of the fracture, fracture topography, callus formation, and the healing outcome. Results. Children with LBF demonstrated significantly increased leptin levels compared to the control group (both day 0/day 21). In the control group, girls had significantly more leptin than boys. Leptin value was significantly influenced by anatomical localization since boys and girls with humerus fracture and girls with femur fracture had the highest average leptin concentration in the initial sample. Boys with incomplete callus formation had the highest leptin concentration (both day 0 /day 21), significantly elevated compared to boys? samples in the control group, boys? samples with an intermediary and well-formed callus, and also increased compared to the initial samples of girls with incomplete callus. Better callus formation in girls was associated with an increment of leptin concentrations in the second over the initial sample. Girls with partially and satisfactorily formed callus had significantly increased leptin concentration in the second sample (day 21) compared to the boys? group. Conclusion. Leptin concentration was significantly increased (both samples) in children with LBF compared to children with SBF and corresponding controls. Leptin concentration was highly influenced by gender. High blood leptin concentrations in boys or low leptin concentrations in girls immediately upon fracture could be used to identify groups of children with incomplete callus formation.

Published: May 2019

An online survey was conducted to assess the perspectives and use of diabetes technologies by a sample of U.S. primary care physicians (PCPs) and endocrinologists to optimize intensive insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes. Overall, endocrinologists reported using diabetes technologies more frequently than PCPs for patients with type 2 diabetes requiring basal-bolus insulin therapy. PCPs and endocrinologists who were highly focused on diabetes management with insulin therapy reported using insulin delivery devices (insulin pumps and wearable tube-free patches) when patients are not achieving their A1C target while taking basal plus three or more prandial injections of insulin daily.

OBJECTIVE

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a highly heritable disease with much lower incidence but more adult-onset cases in the Chinese population. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >60 T1D loci in Caucasians, less is known in Asians.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We performed the first two-stage GWAS of T1D using 2,596 autoantibody-positive T1D case subjects and 5,082 control subjects in a Chinese Han population and evaluated the associations between the identified T1D risk loci and age and fasting C-peptide levels at T1D diagnosis.

RESULTS

We observed a high genetic correlation between children/adolescents and adult T1D case subjects (rg = 0.87), as well as subgroups of autoantibody status (rg ≥ 0.90). We identified four T1D risk loci reaching genome-wide significance in the Chinese Han population, including two novel loci, rs4320356 near BTN3A1 (odds ratio [OR] 1.26, P = 2.70 × 10−8) and rs3802604 in GATA3 (OR 1.24, P = 2.06 × 10−8), and two previously reported loci, rs1770 in MHC (OR 4.28, P = 2.25 × 10−232) and rs705699 in SUOX (OR 1.46, P = 7.48 × 10−20). Further fine mapping in the MHC region revealed five independent variants, including another novel locus, HLA-C position 275 (omnibus P = 9.78 × 10−12), specific to the Chinese population. Based on the identified eight variants, we achieved an area under the curve value of 0.86 (95% CI 0.85–0.88). By building a genetic risk score (GRS) with these variants, we observed that the higher GRS were associated with an earlier age of T1D diagnosis (P = 9.08 × 10−11) and lower fasting C-peptide levels (P = 7.19 × 10−3) in individuals newly diagnosed with T1D.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results extend current knowledge on genetic contributions to T1D risk. Further investigations in different populations are needed for genetic heterogeneity and subsequent precision medicine.

Simulations for Resource-Allocation Protocol Optimization for MIL-STD-188-186 over a UHF SATCOM Network
Authors: Chandler Edward William
Published: May 2019

A simple simulation tool was previously developed to simulate the operation and performance of demand-assigned communication networks having time-varying data traffic patterns.  Such networks use protocols to increase or decrease the resources allocated to a network node as the resource needs at that node change.  These resource-allocation protocols have parameters such as numerical thresholds for requesting or releasing resources.  The additional simulator development and execution described herein allows a comparison of performance metrics that result when using the existing MIL-STD-188-186 protocol versus using a proposed alternative protocol.  The network behavior revealed by the simulation results also allows examining network performance trade-offs as values for the protocol parameters are adjusted.  Although commercially available simulation tools could be used for these simulations, such tools are often expensive and sometimes complicated to adapt to new and not yet standardized protocols.  The simple simulation tool that was previously developed is described in an earlier paper and is programmed as an Excel spreadsheet.   It has now been adapted to allow comparing an existing resource-allocation protocol versus a proposed protocol for MIL-STD-188-186.  The simulator allows examination of performance metrics such as the average number of assigned time slots per frame assigned to a transmitting node that has a specified message generation rate, the percentage of generated messages that are discarded prior to transmission due to being queued for an excessive time, and a histogram showing the percentage of messages transmitted with each possible message delivery time.

Authors: Jo EunJung , Han TaeYoung
Published: May 2019

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of workplace bullying, a magnifying issue in various local organizations, at the individual and the team level, and to examine the effects of distributive fairness and competitive climate on workplace bullying. The study also examined whether effects of the antecedents show different patterns by team-level power imbalance, which indicates the interaction effect on bullying in the workplace in terms of the locus of level. The data was collected from 175 team members of 33 teams. In order to test the research hypotheses, WABA (Within And Between Analysis) was used as a multilevel analysis and the interaction effect of power imbalance was analysed by Multiple Relation Analysis (MRA) of the WABA. Results showed that the relationship between fairness and bullying primarily existed at both the team and individual levels, and the competitive climate was related with bullying at the team level. Interaction effects of power imbalance were also significant, making the effects of antecedents locate at different level. The fairness of evaluation is high at the team level when the power imbalance is low, whereas the competitive climate showed a relationship at the individual level when the power imbalance is high. Based on the results, the study provided theoretical and practical implications.

Determination of Engineering Geological Conditions of A Plant-Site: A Case Study in an Open Pit Mine in Çine, Aydın
Authors: Karagöz Saffet Deniz , Koca Yalçın
Published: May 2019

A plant will be constructed between the Alipasa and Sarıkısık feldspar open-pit mines in Karpuzlu-Çine (Aydın) to conduct the works of crushing-grinding and flotation. An investigation was carried out to determine engineering geological conditions at and below the plant-site using scan-lines, geophysical measurements, and three inclined borehole data. Geological structure and ground conditions including geotechnical data such as discontinuity frequency and spacing, RQD% and CR% acquired from the drill hole exploration and geophysical survey are determined. Along the inclined drill holes, true discontinuity spacing values computed for each core run represent the most intersected discontinuities. In these calculations, determination of the acute angles between the axes of drill holes and strikes of the discontinuity sets are important as much as the investigation of fracture distributions in the subsurface. For this reason, the stereographic projection techniques were used to determine the true acute angle in this work. The purpose of the investigation is to identify and mitigate difficulties caused by ground conditions. The rock conditions comprise heavily jointed and weathered metamorphic rocks and the ability of these to support the foundations is considered. It was determined that the bearing capacity values obtained from the geotechnical computations considering RQD values agree with the ones acquired from the geophysical measurements, except the weakness zones (sheared zones). It was also determined that the values of allowable bearing pressure based on the geotechnical works are more conservative than the ones from the geophysical measurements. When all results are considered, the ratio between the allowable bearing capacity (qa) values acquired from geotechnical and geophysical measurements is close to 0.65.

Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE To compare characteristics of recovery from isoflurane anesthesia in healthy nonpremedicated dogs after anesthetic induction by IV administration of tiletamine-zolazepam with those observed after induction by IV administration of alfaxalone, ketamine-diazepam, or propofol.

DESIGN Prospective, randomized crossover study.

ANIMALS 6 healthy adult hounds.

PROCEDURES Each dog underwent the 4 treatments in random order with a ≥ 7-day washout period between anesthetic episodes. Anesthesia was induced by IV administration of the assigned induction drug or combination (each to effect in 25% increments of calculated dose) and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen for 60 minutes. Cardiorespiratory variables and end-tidal isoflurane concentration (ETISO) were measured just before isoflurane administration was discontinued. Dogs were observed and video recorded during recovery. Recovery characteristics were retrospectively scored from recordings by 3 raters. Interrater and intrarater reliability of scoring was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient calculation. Linear and mixed ANOVAs were used to compare extubation times, recovery scores, and body temperature among treatments.

RESULTS Most cardiorespiratory variables, body temperature, ETISO, and time to extubation did not differ between tiletamine-zolazepam and other induction treatments. Recovery scores were lower (indicating better recovery characteristics) with propofol or alfaxalone than with tiletamine-zolazepam but did not differ between tiletamine-zolazepam and ketamine-diazepam treatments. Anesthetic episode number and ETISO had no effect on extubation time or recovery score. Intrarater and interrater correlations for recovery scores were excellent.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Recovery of healthy dogs from anesthesia with isoflurane after induction with tiletamine-zolazepam was uncomplicated and had characteristics comparable to those observed following induction with ketamine-diazepam. However, recovery characteristics were improved when anesthesia was induced with propofol or alfaxalone.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of IM alfaxalone and isoflurane administration in budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) and compare use of these agents with use of manual restraint.

ANIMALS 42 healthy budgerigars.

PROCEDURES For dose comparison, birds received alfaxalone (5 or 10 mg/kg [2.27 or 4.54 mg/lb], IM; groups A5 and A10, respectively; n = 6/group). For treatment comparison, birds received alfaxalone (10 mg/kg, IM) or isoflurane (via face mask) or were manually restrained (groups A, I, and M, respectively; n = 10/group). Data were obtained on onset, degree, and duration of sedation or anesthesia; heart and respiratory rates; and recovery times. Birds in the treatment comparison underwent physical examination and blood gas analysis.

RESULTS All group A5 birds became sedate, but not recumbent. In group A10, 5 of 6 birds lost the righting reflex; however, none lost the noxious stimulus response. Median time to initial effects was significantly shorter and mean time to complete recovery was significantly longer in group A10 than in group A5. Heart and respiratory rates in group A10 remained clinically acceptable; however, some birds had signs of excitement during induction and recovery. Times to initial effects, recumbency, and complete recovery were significantly longer, yet clinically practical, in group A than in group I. Plasma lactate concentrations were significantly higher in group M than in groups A and I.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Alfaxalone administered IM at 10 mg/kg produced effective sedation in healthy budgerigars and may be a viable alternative to isoflurane and manual restraint for brief, minimally invasive procedures. Brief manual restraint resulted in a significant increase in plasma lactate concentration.

A Educação Física é uma área que possibilita espaço para discussões acerca das diferenças de gênero, preconceito, discriminação e sexualidade. Sabendo que a sociedade segue padrões e que, sujeito tais como algumas mulheres lutadoras são vigiadas e punidas tanto na educação formal quanto na informal, deste modo se faz importante investigar essa realidade. É neste sentido que essa pesquisa objetivou verificar os preconceitos relacionados à percepção de gênero e homossexualidade em 30 mulheres praticantes de Muay Thai. Essas responderam um questionário adaptado e estruturado com 19 questões. Segundo os dados, a presença de homossexuais na modalidade foi confirmada pelas interlocutoras, contudo tal presença não foi o fator primordial para existência de preconceitos às lutadoras, mas sim por serem mulheres. O fato de lutar ser associado à coragem contribui para que o preconceito em relação às lutadoras de Muay Thai seja menor se comparado a outros estudos de praticantes de diferentes modalidades esportivas. Consideramos que a mulher tem lutado em busca de reconhecimento e conquista de espaços, o que realça a necessidade de estudos sobre mulheres diretamente envolvidas no universo das Lutas, uma vez que gerar discussões é um meio de tensionar a nossa sociedade e aqui especificamente as instituições educacionais informais por sua história de conservadorismo, de desigualdade e de exclusões das diferenças.

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) foi uma demanda e conquista dos movimentos sociais e dos movimentos dos trabalhadores. Uma temática que permeia nossa vida e que precisa ser discutida nesses espaços é a violência de gênero. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma pesquisa bibliográfica na base do ENPEC – Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, evidenciando temáticas e abordagens sobre gênero na EJA. A ideia é identificar contribuições para o debate, lacunas existentes sobre a temática e, a partir do cenário presente, vislumbrar demandas e perspectivas para o futuro próximo. Procedimentos metodológicos: Esta pesquisa foi realizada a partir do Trabalho de Conclusão de curso de uma das autoras, no qual foi realizado um levantamento sobre EJA nas onze edições do ENPEC, selecionando os trabalhos que citavam ou faziam referência a PROEJA, EPJA e EJA nos títulos, resumos e/ou palavras-chave. Foram encontrados 92 trabalhos sobre a EJA. A partir destes 92 trabalhos encontrados, uma nova busca foi realizada, utilizando-se o descritor: gênero, resultando em 11 trabalhos, nos quais a palavra gênero era citada em alguma parte do título, palavra-chave, resumo ou texto completo. Podemos perceber que as questões de gênero na EJA ainda são pouco tratadas mesmo dentro do ensino das Ciências da Natureza, que é responsável por trabalhar o corpo humano e suas relações. Esta temática deveria ser tratada em todos os níveis de ensino para desenvolvermos um trabalho de prevenção à violência tão necessário em nosso país.
HÁ DIFERENÇA? PROCESSOS DE CONSTITUIÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE PROFISSIONAL DE DOCENTES HOMOSSEXUAIS

Published: May 2019

Neste trabalho, são apresentados resultados de uma pesquisa de Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso em Pedagogia, que está articulada a um Projeto de Pesquisa mais abrangente, desenvolvido em um Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação. Busca-se mapear, descrever e analisar os processos de constituição da profissionalidade de docentes homossexuais, operando com as ferramentas de gênero e sexualidade, entendendo que estas conformam a profissionalidade destes docentes. Como procedimento teórico-metodológico, para compor o material empírico da pesquisa, utilizou-se a entrevista-narrativa e, com base nos Estudos de Gênero, nos Estudos Queer e na teoria Pós-Estruturalista, foram entrevistados quatro professores homens gays e uma professora mulher lésbica, em efetivo exercício docente, em escolas públicas e privadas da região do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Rio Grande do Sul. A partir das análises, foi possível mostrar como gênero e sexualidade atravessam e dimensionam a docência homossexual, mais especificamente a profissionalidade. Embora estes professores e esta professora evidenciam, em suas narrativas, o quanto a docência homossexual é vista como algo que foge do centro, percebeu-se a possibilidade de deslocamento desta docência considerada ex-cêntrica, ou ainda, uma docência reprimida, para pensarmos em uma docência interpelada pelos discursos inclusivos. Com base na pesquisa, conclui-se que um ethos profissional inclusivo se forma na medida em que, ao (re)significarem as experiências, ao se relacionarem consigo mesmo e com os outros, ao se olharem no outro e se reconhecerem na diferença do outro, mobilizam outras formas de ser e exercer a docência.Palavras-chave: Docência. Docência homossexual. Profissionalidade docente. Gênero e Sexualidade.

The Impact of Bioconjugation on the Interfacial Activity of a Protein Biosurfactant
Authors: Tayeb Hossam H , Stienecker Marina , Middelberg Anton , Sainsbury Frank
Published: May 2019

Biosurfactants, are surface active molecules that can be produced by renewable, industrially scalable biologic processes. DAMP4, a designer biosurfactant, enables the modification of interfaces via genetic or chemical fusion to functional moieties. However, bioconjugation of addressable amines introduces heterogeneity that limits the precision of functionalization as well as the resolution of interfacial characterization. Here we designed DAMP4 variants with cysteine point mutations to allow for site-specific bioconjugation. The DAMP4 variants were shown to retain the structural stability and interfacial activity characteristic of the parent molecule, while permitting efficient and specific conjugation of polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEGylation results in a considerable reduction on the interfacial activity of both single and double mutants. Comparison of conjugates with one or two conjugation sites shows that both the number of conjugates as well as the mass of conjugated material impacts the interfacial activity of DAMP4. As a result, the ability of DAMP4 variants with multiple PEG conjugates to impart colloidal stability on peptide-stabilized emulsions is reduced. We suggest that this is due to steric constraints on the structure of amphiphilic helices at the interface. Specific and efficient bioconjugation permits the exploration and investigation of the interfacial properties of designer protein biosurfactants with molecular precision. Our findings should therefore inform the design and modification of biosurfactants for their increasing use in industrial processes, and nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations.

Published: May 2019

Nanohybrids, made up of Bismuth ferrites/Carbon allotropes, are extensively used in photocatalytic applications nowadays. Our work proposes a nanohybrid system composed of Bismuth ferrite nanoparticles with two-dimensional (2D) MXene sheets namely, the BiFeO3 (BFO)/Ti3C2 (MXene) nanohybrid for enhanced photocatalytic activity. We have fabricated the BFO/MXene nanohybrid using simple and low cost double solvent solvothermal method. The SEM and TEM images show that the BFO nanoparticles were attached onto the MXene surface and in the inter-layers of two-dimensional (2D) MXene sheets. The photocatalytic application is tested for the visible light irradiation which showed the highest efficiency among all pure-BFO based photocatalysts, i.e. 100% degradation in 42 min for organic dye (Congo Red) and colorless aqueous pollutant (acetophenone) in 150 min, respectively. The present BFO-based hybrid system exhibited the large surface area of 147 m2g-1measured via Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) sorption-desorption technique, and is found to be largest among BFO and its derivatives. Also, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicate large electron-hole pair generation. Fast and efficient degradation of organic molecules is supported by both factors; larger surface area and lower electron-hole recombination rate. The BFO/MXene nanohybrid presented here is a highly efficient photocatalyst compared to other nanostructures based on pure BiFeO3 which makes it a promising candidate for many future applications.

Draft article concerning our work about the use of Kendrick mass defect for filtering mass spectrometry imaging data. Kendrick mass defect (KMD) analysis is widely used for helping the detection and identification of chemically related compounds based on exact mass measurements. We report here the use of KMD as a criterion for filtering complex mass spectrometry data. The method enables an automated, faster and efficient data processing, enabling the reconstruction of 2D distributions of family of homologous compound in MSI images. We show that the KMD filtering, based on a homemade software, is suitable for low resolution and high resolution MSI data. This method has been successfully applied to two different types of samples, bacteria co-cultures and brain tissue section.

Combate à pobreza na América Latina:
Authors: Mauriel Ana Paula
Published: May 2019

A preocupação central do artigo encontra-se no redirecionamento das formas de concepção e enfrentamento da "questão da pobreza" na América Latina, que se tornou prioridade na agenda de reforma das políticas sociais a partir dos anos 90, conforme recomendações dos organismos multilaterais. O combate à pobreza ganha um tom individualizado, centralizado nas características e comportamentos dos pobres e, as políticas sociais, sob esse prisma, são concebidas como instrumentos para ajudar na construção de "habilitações" que tornarão esses invidíduos "inseríveis" no padrão de sociabilidade contemporânea (uma sociedade de troca, de mercado, com dimensões globalizantes). Assim, cada vez mais a política social é entendida como assistencialismo, deixando de ser pensada como um sistema de proteção social universal e passando a ser entendida como um conjunto de programas de atendimento aos grupos mais pobres.

A hipótese subjacente é que esta cosmovisão afeta a maneira de eles procurarem emprego, as suas expectativas e, finalmente, as suas trajetórias ocupacionais. Com este objetivo, a pesquisa analisa a situação dos jovens do Distrito de La Matanza (Buenos Aires, Argentina), articulando as perspectivas quantitativa e qualitativa, com a intenção de examinar ao mesmo tempo os fatores de vulnerabilidade específica de alguns grupos de jovens e seus mecanismos estruturais de sustentação.
A assistência social prevista na Constituição de 1988 e operacionalizada pela PNAS e pelo SUAS
Authors: Pereira Potyara Amazoneida Pereira
Published: May 2019

Este artigo trata das transformações sofridas pela Assistência Social brasileira no curso da história, particularmente após a sua pioneira inserção na vigente Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil, promulgada em 1988. Seu foco central é a Política Nacional de Assistência (PNAS), de 2004, e o Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) que, a partir daquele ano, inauguraram um novo aparato normativo e institucional para essa área à semelhança do que já vinha sendo adotado na da Saúde. O artigo descreve e analisa os aspectos principais desse novo aparato para, ao final, tecer considerações críticas sobre a sua conveniência teórico-conceitual e possibilidades políticas.
