Implicaciones que influyen en el desempeño productivo, características de la canal y de la carne de ganado bovino engordado en corral
Authors: Martínez Esmeralda Desdémona
Published: July 2023

La engorda de ganado bovino en corral es una opción de agregación de valor al ganado proveniente del destete y del repasto, en donde se logra un engorde acelerado de los animales por un periodo corto de tiempo mejorando las características de la canal y de la carne, a la vez que permite la recuperación de las pasturas durante la época de seca al disminuir la carga animal, preservando el ecosistema de los pastizales. No obstante, se requiere tener conocimientos claros de las implicaciones que influyen en estas características como la edad, raza o grupo racial, sexo, temperamento, alimentación, uso de aditivos, prevención y control de enfermedades, bienestar animal, vicio de monta e instalaciones. Asimismo, se busca la sostenibilidad del sistema disminuyendo las emisiones de metano de los animales sin afectar la calidad de la carne producida. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica es dar a conocer las implicaciones que influyen en el desempeño productivo, características de la canal y de la carne de gana-do bovino engordado en corral.

Authors: Lozano Franklin , Pinares Rubén , Ccopa Ruth
Published: July 2023

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el tiempo de blanqueamiento de la fibra negra y marrón con peróxido de hidrógeno y evaluar el porcentaje de fibras meduladas según el color y sitio de muestreo en el vellón de alpaca Huacaya. Se tomaron 90 muestras de fibra (paleta, costillar medio y grupa) de 30 alpacas (10 negras, 10 marrones y 10 blancas). La fibra (2 g) se blanqueó a diferentes tiempos (5-105 minutos) con 20 g de peróxido de hidrógeno (crema oxigenada 40 volumen) y 10 g de polvo decolorante (High lift 9 Tones). Las coordenadas colorimétricas (L*a*b*) se evaluaron a 5, 10, 35, 70 y 105 minutos en fibra negra y a 35 y 70 minutos en fibra marrón. Posterior al análisis microscópico, se calculó el porcentaje de fibras meduladas y su error estándar. La luminosidad en fibra negra es baja (5.19 ± 1.78), que se incrementa con el tiempo de blanqueamiento hasta 86.60 ± 1.49 al minuto 105. La luminosidad en fibra marrón es mayor (43.18 ± 10.47), que se incrementa hasta 86.92 ± 1.50 al minuto 70. La luminosidad de las fibras blanqueadas en esos tiempos fue similar a 87.14±1.43 de fibra blanca (referencia estándar). La fibra con medulación fragmentada fue la más común (38.54 ± 1.98, 31.56 ± 1.87%), seguida de discontinua (18.77 ± 1.58, 20.44 ± 1.62%), continua (17.43 ± 1.53, 19.28 ± 1.58%), con pocas fibras fuertemente meduladas (1.05 ± 0.4, 1.27 ± 0.45%) en alpacas negras y marrones, respectivamente. El porcentaje de fibras meduladas en alpaca negra (75.81 ± 1.72%) fue similar al de la alpaca marrón (72.55 ± 1.78%). Estas alpacas muestran alto porcentaje de medulación comparado con la blanca (50.77 ± 1.97%). El porcentaje de medulación no mostró variación por sitio de muestreo del vellón. El diámetro medio de fibra negra fue más grueso que la blanca, pero sin diferencias entre fibra negra y blanca. En conclusión, el peróxido de hidrógeno es un agente blanqueador que requiere entre 60 y 100 minutos para el blanqueamiento eficiente de fibra marrón y negra, respectivamente. Las fibras negra y marrón muestran menor calidad textil con alto porcentaje de medulación respecto a la fibra blanca.

Published: July 2023

In this paper, we present an activity to introduce the idea of public-key cryptography and to make pre-service STEM teachers explore fundamental informatics and mathematical concepts and methods. We follow the Theory of Didactical Situations within the Didactical Engineering methodology (both widely used in mathematics education research) to design and analyse a didactical situation about asymmetric cryptography using graphs. Following the phases of Didactical Engineering, after the preliminary analysis of the content, the constraints and conditions of the teaching context, we conceived and analysed the situation a priori, with a particular focus on the milieu (the set of elements students can interact with) and on the choices for the didactical variables. We discuss their impact on the problem-solving strategies the participants need to elaborate to decrypt an encrypted message. We implemented our situation and collected qualitative data. We then analysed a posteriori the different stategies that participants used. The comparison of the a posteriori analysis with the a priori analysis showed the learning potential of the activity. To elaborate on different problem-solving strategies, the participants need to explore and understand several concepts and methods from mathematics, informatics, and the frontier of the two disciplines, also moving between different semiotic registers.

Exploitation, Labor and Sex Trafficking of Children and Adolescents: Health Care Needs of Patients
Authors: Greenbaum Jordan , Kaplan Dana , Young Janine ,   COUNCIL ON CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT, COUNCIL ON IMMIGRANT CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH
Published: July 2023

Exploitation and labor and sex trafficking of children and adolescents is a major public health problem in the United States and throughout the world. Significant numbers of US and non-US–born children and adolescents (including unaccompanied immigrant minors) are affected by this growing concern and may experience a range of serious physical and mental health problems associated with human trafficking and exploitation (T/E). Despite these considerations, there is limited information available for health care providers regarding the nature and scope of T/E and how providers may help recognize and protect children and adolescents. Knowledge of risk factors, recruitment practices, possible indicators of T/E, and common medical, mental, and emotional health problems experienced by affected individuals will assist health care providers in recognizing vulnerable children and adolescents and responding appropriately. A trauma-informed, rights-based, culturally sensitive approach helps providers identify and treat patients who have experienced or are at risk for T/E. As health care providers, educators, and leaders in child advocacy and development, pediatricians play an important role in addressing the public health issues faced by children and adolescents who experience exploitation and trafficking. Working across disciplines with professionals in the community, health care providers can offer evidence-based medical screening, treatment, and holistic services to individuals who have experienced T/E and assist vulnerable patients and families in recognizing signs of T/E.

Published: July 2023

Access to timely prevention and treatment services remains challenging for many children, adolescents, young adults, and families affected by substance use. The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes the scope and urgency of this problem and has developed this policy statement for consideration by Congress, federal and state policy makers, and public and private payers. This policy statement updates the 2001 policy statement “Improving Substance Abuse Prevention, Assessment, and Treatment Financing for Children and Adolescents” and provides recommendations for financing substance use prevention, assessment, and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults.
The Teen Driver
Authors: Alderman Elizabeth M. , Johnston Brian D. ,   COMMITTEE ON ADOLESCENCE, COUNCIL ON INJURY, VIOLENCE, AND POISON PREVENTION
Published: July 2023

For many teenagers, obtaining a driver’s license is a rite of passage, conferring the ability to independently travel to school, work, or social events. However, immaturity, inexperience, and risky behavior put newly licensed teen drivers at risk. Motor vehicle crashes are the most common cause of mortality and injury for adolescents and young adults in developed countries. Teen drivers (15–19 years of age) have the highest rate of motor vehicle crashes among all age groups in the United States and contribute disproportionately to traffic fatalities. In addition to the deaths of teen drivers, more than half of 8- to 17-year-old children who die in car crashes are killed as passengers of drivers younger than 20 years of age. This policy statement, in which we update the previous 2006 iteration of this policy statement, is used to reflect new research on the risks faced by teen drivers and offer advice for pediatricians counseling teen drivers and their families.
Unique Needs of the Adolescent
Authors: Alderman Elizabeth M. , Breuner Cora C. ,   COMMITTEE ON ADOLESCENCE
Published: July 2023

Adolescence is the transitional bridge between childhood and adulthood; it encompasses developmental milestones that are unique to this age group. Healthy cognitive, physical, sexual, and psychosocial development is both a right and a responsibility that must be guaranteed for all adolescents to successfully enter adulthood. There is consensus among national and international organizations that the unique needs of adolescents must be addressed and promoted to ensure the health of all adolescents. This policy statement outlines the special health challenges that adolescents face on their journey and transition to adulthood and provides recommendations for those who care for adolescents, their families, and the communities in which they live.
Caregiver Perspectives on Social Needs Screening and Interventions in an Urban Children’s Hospital
Authors: Luke Michael J. , Fernandes Danielle M. , Leon Rodriguez Florangel De , Acholonu Rhonda G. , Fiori Kevin
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVES

Caregiver opinions of inpatient social needs screening and ways of addressing positive screens are not well understood. We aimed to explore caregiver perspectives and goals surrounding inpatient screening and determine how helpful provided resources are at meeting these goals.

METHODS

We conducted a qualitative study using semistructured interviews with caregivers of pediatric patients admitted to an urban tertiary care children’s hospital from April to August 2021. English- and Spanish-speaking caregivers who screened positive for at least 1 social need on a standardized 10-item questionnaire were invited to participate in an interview 2 to 4 months after discharge. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by 2 independent coders using rapid qualitative methods.

RESULTS

We completed 20 interviews, with 14 English-speaking and 6 Spanish-speaking caregivers. Four themes emerged: (1) All caregivers expressed support for inpatient social needs screening. (2) Many caregivers cited it as an effective means to support families and help providers better understand their social situation. (3) Caregivers who recalled receiving a resource packet found it useful and at times even shared the resources with others. (4) The majority of caregivers expressed interest in longitudinal support, such as contact after discharge.

CONCLUSIONS

Caregivers are in support of inpatient screening as a means for providers to optimize comprehensive care that explores how unmet social needs influence health. Although inpatient social work and resource packets may be helpful, longitudinal support after discharge may improve the effectiveness of social needs interventions, patient outcomes, and caregiver satisfaction.
Childhood and Adolescent Television Viewing and Metabolic Syndrome in Mid-Adulthood
Authors: MacDonell Nathan , Hancox Robert J.
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Excessive sedentary behaviors, such as television viewing or other screen time, may have adverse metabolic effects. We hypothesized that television viewing time in childhood would be associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome at 45 years of age.

METHODS

We studied a population-based birth cohort born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1972 and 1973. Parent- and self-reported weekday television viewing times were recorded at ages 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 32 years. The primary outcome was metabolic syndrome at age 45 years, defined as 3 or more of: high glycated hemoglobin; high waist circumference; high blood triglyceride; low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; and high blood pressure. Reported television viewing time and metabolic syndrome data were available for 870 (87%) of 997 surviving participants.

RESULTS

Mean television viewing time between ages 5 and 15 years was associated with metabolic syndrome at 45 years of age. This association persisted after adjusting for sex, socioeconomic status, and BMI at age 5 (odds ratio: 1.30; 95% confidence interval: 1.08 to 1.58; P = .006) and after further adjustment for adult television viewing (odds ratio: 1.26; 95% confidence interval: 1.03 to 1.54; P = .026). Childhood television viewing was also associated with lower cardiorespiratory fitness and higher BMI at 45 years of age.

CONCLUSIONS

Time spent watching television during childhood and adolescence is associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome in mid-adulthood. Interventions to reduce screen time for children and young people may have long-lasting benefits for health.

Sudden health states accompanied by seizures require proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A seizure in the paediatric population may turn into a life-threatening condition, especially when it is misdiagnosed and appropriate management is initiated too late. The article presents the classification of seizures proposed by the International League Against Epilepsy and seizure time intervals when appropriate treatment should be implemented. The main part of this work is the description of non-pharmacological treatment. In this paper, the management of seizures in the paediatric population was based on the guidelines proposed by several recognised organisations. The American Epilepsy Foundation is one of the bodies publishing guidelines for the management of seizures in the paediatric population. This organisation recommends treatment based on the STAY-SAFE-SIDE strategy. According to these guidelines, the patient should not be left alone, all objects that may injure the patient during the seizure should be moved away, and the patient should be placed on their side. An important element of these activities is also recording seizure duration, which is associated with appropriate pharmacological treatment. Pharmacological management of seizures is based on benzodiazepines. The type of drug, dosage and route of administration are described in detail. The article also mentions guidelines explaining in which cases it is advisable to continue diagnosis and treatment in an Emergency Department setting, and which cases require calling the Emergency Medical Services.

Introduction: Influenza is an acute viral disease of the respiratory system. Its course can be complicated, particularly in seniors, young children or patients with chronic conditions. Common complications include pneumonia, exacerbation of chronic diseases, heart muscle involvement, and neurologic disorders. This paper analyses the frequency and factors contributing to the development of influenza complications in primary healthcare patients. Materials and methods: The study enrolled a total of 631 adult patients who visited a family physician complaining of respiratory tract infections from January 2019 to April 2020 in the Family Doctor’s Clinic in Gostyń, Greater Poland Province. Of them, 90 patients were diagnosed with influenza. The data sources included patient interviews, physical examinations, results of additional tests, and the patients’ medical files. The diagnosis of influenza was based on the accepted clinical criteria, i.e. a sudden onset of fever + ≥1 clinical symptom in the respiratory system + ≥1 general systemic symptom, lasting <72 hours and confirmed with an Actim Influenza A&B test (Medix Biochemica). Results: Complications of influenza were noted in 13 patients (14%), compared to 77 uncomplicated cases. Four patients required hospital admission. The diagnosed complications included secondary bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract (61%), exacerbation of chronic diseases (31%), and myocarditis (8%). In logistic regression analysis, asphyxia, wheezing, and crackles were linked to a higher risk of complicated influenza. Conclusions: Complicated influenza occurs significantly more often in patients with multiple comorbidities, including obesity, thyroid diseases, and liver diseases. Clinical symptoms related to the risk of complications include asphyxia, wheezing, and crackles.

Inverted papilloma is a benign sinonasal epithelial tumour that mainly occurs in the fifth to sixth decades of life, with male predominance. The incidence in the young adolescent population is comparatively lower. The clinical and radiological findings may mimic other benign sinonasal tumours, so the diagnosis can only be confirmed by histopathological examination. Consequently, precise diagnostic and therapeutic planning is recommended to achieve the optimal result. We describe a case of unilateral sinonasal tumour in a young adolescent male who showed clinical and radiological features of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, such as widening of the sphenopalatine foramen, extension of the mass posteriorly towards the nasopharynx, and presence of flow voids that suggested highly vascular nature of the mass. However, a postoperative histopathological examination showed a diagnosis of inverted papilloma.

Introduction: The abducens nerve, or cranial nerve six (CN VI), is the most common nerve involved in cranial nerve palsy. Various causes have been identified as the aetiology, but no association has been made with monoclonal gammopathy. We aim to describe isolated cranial nerve palsy in a child with monoclonal gammopathy. Case report: We report a case of a healthy 6-year-old girl who presented with sudden onset binocular diplopia, headache, and unsteady gait. Further investigation revealed isolated left sixth cranial nerve neuritis with monoclonal gammopathy, which was treated with steroids. Discussion: Cranial nerve palsy is an alarming sign, especially in children, and is almost always related to intracranial pathologies such as a tumour, hydrocephalus, and meningitis. Conclusion: Prompt investigations alongside relevant management result in a good prognosis.

Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to describe the experiences of psychosocial adaptation in parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. A qualitative study of the phenomenological design was conducted using in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 participants. The results illustrate that psychosocial adaptation can be explained through categories such as stressors, support received, perception of the situation, expectations developed, and strategies used to handle the situation. In conclusion, adaptation involves experiencing feelings of guilt, sadness, frustration, and anger, among others; however, this is followed by acceptance, seeking to provide the child with skills, thereby improving their social adjustment. Perceived support from family and spouses is identified as substantial.

Resumo Este estudo investigou o poder de predição das subescalas do Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (SDQ) para o diagnóstico de transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH) e transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) na avaliação de pais e professores. Participaram 108 crianças entre 4 e 12 anos (controles n=72) sendo o grupo clínico composto por crianças com diagnóstico psiquiátrico. Análises multivariadas de variância verificaram as similaridades e diferenças entre os grupos nas subescalas e modelos de regressão logística foram testados para analisar o poder de predição. Os grupos clínicos apresentaram dificuldades em todas as subescalas e as crianças com TEA diferiram-se das com TDAH apenas em sintomas emocionais. O comportamento pró-social foi preditivo para os dois transtornos. Especificidades e divergências foram encontradas no poder preditivo das demais subescalas para ambos os grupos e avaliações. Discute-se o potencial do SDQ para auxílio diagnóstico do TDAH e TEA em diferentes contextos.

Published: July 2023

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the impact of social distancing on different areas of marital life during the Covid-19 pandemic. 1121 Brazilians, who were living with romantic partners, answered an online survey about their social distancing practices during the pandemic and aspects of their relationship. Most participants did not report impairment in marital behavior and 68% did not report experiencing willingness to divorce during pandemic. However, binary logistic regressions showed that the Odds Ratio of reporting willingness to divorce was lower for individuals with longer cohabitation (OR = 0.998), while higher when there was a decrease in positive marital behaviors (OR = 1.8 - 3.13), and also reported an increase in the conflicts, arguments and fights (OR = 6.12 - 6.43). Indicators of higher confinement at home during the pandemic were associated with higher chances of reporting willingness to divorce.

Published: July 2023

Abstract Sexual prejudice against bisexuals is widespread in society. However, little research has been done on this phenomenon because it is difficult to measure. The aim of the current study was to validate a short version of the Biphobia Scale for the Brazilian context (EPSB-br). In the first study, the EPSB-br showed unifactorial structure and convergent validity with scales measuring beliefs and stereotypes about bisexuality. Study 2 showed the EPSB-br’s convergent-discriminant validity with scales measuring religiosity, right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and sleepiness. Finally, Study 3 demonstrated the criterion-related validity of the EPSB-br through an experimental manipulation in which participants watched a video of a pretend teacher and assigned a salary to it. Taken together, these results showed evidence of validity and reliability of the EPSB-br, which introduced a measure of prejudice against bisexual people in Brazil.

Published: July 2023

Abstract This study analyzed the structure of social representations of an authoritarian regime in Brazil (Military Regime, 1964-1985), the variables associated with reporting different emotions about that past, and support for authoritarian solutions in the present. A sample of 200 participants aged 18 to 85 years (M = 31.54; SD = 13.84) responded to a free word association task in which they indicated three words that came to mind about the Military Regime. A prototypical analysis showed a critical representation as the majority. However, positive representations and a mute zone effect (silence of controversial opinions) were found. Participants also answered several questions about the regime, the emotions they feel, and the support for its restoration. Regression analyses showed different variables predicting positive and negative emotions, and positive representations strongly predicting support for a current authoritarian solution.

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to measure the religio-spiritual insights of consumers during religious festivals and compare the results considering the stimuli of two advertisements, i.e., religious and irritating advertisements. When the religio-spiritual insights of the consumers are neglected in the designing of a TV advertisement for a religious festival, in particular, it can lead to irritation and affect the consumers’ attitude toward advertising. Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the mediating effect of religio-spiritual insights was measured between consumers’ attitude toward advertising and independent variables (irritation, credibility, information, good for the economy, and entertainment). Originality/value: This study uses the newly developed instrument of religio-spiritual insights to measure their influence on consumers’ attitudes toward advertising and confirms the mediating effect of religio-spiritual insights between the consumers’ attitude and other constructs, such as credibility, entertainment, information, irritation, and good for the economy. Design/methodology/approach: Two hundred and fifty-five household consumers were selected using the non-probability convenience sampling techniques to collect the responses using the survey method. Each respondent was asked to fill out two questionnaires after watching the attached stimulus advertisement, i.e., one religious and one irritating advertisement. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to test the hypothesis based on the bootstrapping test. Findings: The results show that religio-spiritual insights significantly mediate attitude toward advertising and other constructs when there was a religious advertisement that depicted religious cues, symbols, and visuals. Contrarily, a non-significant effect of irritation was identified on religio-spiritual insights when there was an irritating advertisement.

RESUMEN Introducción: En democracias con partidos institucionalizados, cuando aumentan la magnitud de distrito y el tamaño de la legislatura, y disminuyen otras barreras de entrada, tiende a aumentar el número de partidos con representación. Pero ¿aumenta también la diversidad en atributos sociodemográficos de los legisladores? Materiales y métodos: Con información de los 318 legisladores electos en 2013 y 2017 en Chile, una democracia estable, pero con altos niveles de desigualdad y baja diversidad en su élite, evaluamos el efecto cambios en las leyes electorales - un sistema electoral más proporcional con mayor magnitud de distrito, aumento en el número de escaños en la legislatura, y un nuevo sistema de financiamiento de campañas - sobre siete indicadores de diversidad. Estimamos modelos estadísticos logísticos para identificar los determinantes de la diversidad de los legisladores en la dimensión de i) género, ii) escuela en la que estudió, iii) grado académico, iv) profesión, v) etnia y vi) lugar de nacimiento, y un modelo de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios para evaluar la diversidad en vii) edad. También estimamos modelos de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios para evaluar la presencia de legisladores con atributos de diversidad en cada distrito electoral. Resultados: Con análisis a nivel individual y de unidad electoral, reportamos que los cambios implementados aumentaron la diversidad, pero no de manera uniforme. Hay más legisladores con atributos de diversidad a partir de la entrada en vigor de la reforma electoral en 2017 entre legisladores debutantes y los candidatos que menos gastan en sus campañas. A su vez, hay más presencia de legisladores con atributos de diversidad en distritos con mayor número de escaños. Discusión: Si bien reformas electorales que buscan aumentar la inclusión generan oportunidades, los partidos deben activamente tener políticas de acción afirmativa para aprovecharlas. La presencia de incumbentes hace que se dificulte la llegada de legisladores con más atributos de diversidad y las barreras de entrada asociadas al financiamiento de las campañas y a los procesos de reclutamiento de candidatos también impiden la llegada de más legisladores con atributos de diversidad.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the trend and correlation of obesity and the increase in continued breastfeeding in children aged six to 23 months in Brazil, from 2015-2019. Methods: ecological time series study with data from the Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (Food and Nutritional Surveillance System). The dependent variable was the prevalence of obesity. Prais-Winsten linear regression was used to verify the trend. Spearman’s correlation was used to verify the relationship between the prevalence of obesity and the increase in continued breastfeeding. Results: there was a trend towards a reduction in the prevalence of obesity in all regions in Brazil (Annual Percentage Variation [APV]: -4.14; CI95%=-4.50; -3.79). The prevalence of continued breastfeeding showed an upward trend in the North (APV=4.89; CI95%=2.92; 6.90), Southeast (APV=3.36; CI95%=2.32; 4 .41) and South (APV=2.67; CI95%=0.98; 4.38). There was a negative and significant correlation between obesity and continued breastfeeding in the North, Northeast, Southeast and South regions. Conclusion: the reduction in the prevalence of obesity and the increase in continued breastfeeding occurred only in some regions, requiring the implementation of effective strategies to be present throughout the country. Actions to promote, protect and support continued breastfeeding and healthy eating should be more prioritized to promote the child’s healthy growth.

Resumo: A pesquisa aborda um problema quase omitido e pouco discutido no Chile, como a violência de gênero nos espaços universitários, sendo esta uma realidade que os movimentos feministas têm se encarregado de visualizar nos últimos anos. A experiência de pesquisa foi realizada por meio de metodologia quantitativa aplicada em quatro regiões do país, em universidades onde se concentra a maior taxa de matrícula. Os resultados mostraram, entre outras constatações, que as universidades são instituições com forte sentido patriarcal, bem como situações de assédio, tratamento diferenciado, reprodução de piadas degradantes para com as mulheres, etc.

Resumo O trabalho apresenta o debate sobre proteção social às famílias no contexto de crises, em que se realiza reflexões sobre o desenvolvimento das políticas de proteção social no capitalismo e os desafios postos a essas políticas diante da crise, do ajuste fiscal e do avanço das tendências neoliberais, tendo como campo de análise a realidade vivenciada pelas famílias brasileiras, considerando o contexto da pandemia do Covid-19. Entende-se, portanto, a oferta e a consolidação das seguranças sociais às famílias como responsabilidades do Estado e a concepção de seguridade social para além da legalidade constitucional. A metodologia se deu a partir de uma revisão de literatura, e de reflexões e debates acumulados construídos no processo acadêmico de pesquisa e extensão vinculadas ao Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Proteção Social e Famílias (GEPPSFAM) da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT).
When the judiciary is the back up: the psychiatric hospitalization at issue

Published: July 2023

Abstract Faced with the precariousness of social policies, which impacts the conditions of the family to exercise its protective function, the judicialization of mental health demands becomes one of the mechanisms used to guarantee rights. In view of this, we aimed to discuss the sharing of responsibilities between the family of the subject in psychological distress and the State, based on the demands of compulsory internment that reach the Brazilian judiciary. This is a documental research in which 23 judgments were analyzed, which were processed between 2001 and 2017, in the second instance of the Paraná State Court of Justice. As results, we highlight that by individualizing and reducing collective demands, the judiciary configures itself as a functional apparatus to the capital in crisis, based on the discourse of legal equality. The primacy of the individual is also evident in the few mentions of families, taken as informants of the condition of the user, their inclusion in the service offered by the network is superficial.

Abstract The mining industry in Peru - as well as in many resource-rich countries of the global South - is of great economic and social importance, particularly in remote regions where mineral deposits are often located. The academic literature has so far neglected analysing how women in these regions are affected by the industry. As such, it is relevant to study the gendered conflict surrounding the activity and invisibility of women in the mining industry, as well as their proposals, demands, and needs, with a focus on environmental and social concerns. This study analysed the experiences of peasant women from Peruvian Andes communities in environmental governance processes in mining contexts as they sought to exercise their citizenship within the mining industry and public spaces. Using a qualitative approach involving a focus group and panel discussions, the experiences and perceptions of the women who are part of the participatory environmental monitoring and surveillance committees (PEMSC) were considered. This paper highlights gendered inequalities concerning the benefits of mining, the process of change in the social dynamics of mining communities, and political claims for a better social arrangement, with social, political, economic, and ecological considerations from the women’s point of view.
