High-Quality Development of Sports Competition Performance Industry in Chengdu-Chongqing Region Based on Performance Evaluation Theory
Authors: Yu Qiaoyan , Yu Yun , Deng Chenliang , Wang Jinyu
Published: January 2024

High-quality development of sports competition performance industry in the Chengdu-Chongqing region is based on the improvement of the sports event system and the strengthening of market entities, and it promotes economic and social development by extending the industrial chain and enhancing the value chain. To effectively evaluate its development effect and promote high-quality development, based on the analysis of the opportunities and challenges faced by the sports competition performance industry in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, this article uses the literature research method and survey interview method to construct a performance evaluation index system from the perspective of performance evaluation theory. It also analyzes the strategic thinking of high-quality development from three aspects: guiding ideology, main principles, and development goals, and explores the strategic path for high-quality development from five aspects: integrated development of points and surfaces, priority development between regions, conditional step-by-step development within the region, selective key development of small cities, and layered development with emphasis on different stages.
Slips of the Tongue: Some Overlooked Examples of theMisdirected KissStorytelling Motif (Thompson K1225)
Authors: Parsons Ben , Jongenelen Bas
Published: January 2024

This article considers the popular storytelling device ofthemisdirected kiss, classified in Stith Thompson’s index as motifK1225. It argues that the dominance of Chaucer’s Miller’s Tale over current scholarship has led us to conceptualise the motif in unduly reductive terms. To demonstrate the variability and complexity of the kiss as a narrative element, a number of neglected witnesses are reviewed from medieval and early modern French, English, German and Dutch. The article appends a translation and edition of one of the most eccentric specimens of the kiss from the late medieval period, the “Refereynen vande jonghe Kamer van Haerlem” (1561).
English as the Academic Lingua Franca (ELFA) for research publication purposes: voices from Iraq and Turkey
Authors: Alhasnawi Sami , Uysal Hacer Hande , Selvi Batuhan
Published: January 2024

This paper contributes to the recently increasing literature on the role of English as the Academic Lingua Franca (ELFA) in international research publications, and the potential pros and cons this may entail for non-Anglophone scholars in different contexts. While exploring Turkish and Iraqi scholars’ attitudes to English for research publication purposes (ERPP), their research writing challenges, and the strategies they use for successful publication, which are areas still lagging far behind in the current state of research, will be the main focus. Therefore, an online questionnaire was designed in this context to investigate the experience of academicians of different academic ranks across university disciplines in both Turkey and Iraq to address such a research gap. Findings are expected to enrich the field with respect to the presumed relationship between ELFA and ‘linguistic injustice/hegemony’, problems encountered by non-Anglophone scholars in different contexts, and their strategies for successful publication through English.

A parabolic potential that confines charge carriers along the growth direction of quantum wells semiconductor systems is characterized by a single resonance frequency, associated to intersubband transitions. Motivated by fascinating quantum optics applications leveraging on this property, we use the technologically relevant SiGe material system to design, grow, and characterize n-type doped parabolic quantum wells realized by continuously grading Ge-rich Si1−x

alloys, deposited on silicon wafers. An extensive structural analysis highlights the capability of the ultra-high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition technique here used to precisely control the quadratic confining potential and the target doping profile. The absorption spectrum, measured by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, revealed a single peak with a full width at half maximum at low and room temperature of about 2 and 5 meV, respectively, associated to degenerate intersubband transitions. The energy of the absorption resonance scales with the inverse of the well width, covering the 2.5–5 THz spectral range, and is almost independent of temperature and doping, as predicted for a parabolic confining potential. On the basis of these results, we discuss the perspective observation of THz strong light–matter coupling in this silicon compatible material system, leveraging on intersubband transitions embedded in all-semiconductor microcavities.

)6 with T = Pd, Ir, Au and x = 1/6 were prepared by arc-melting the stoichiometric mixture of the elements, and subsequent annealing. For x = 1/6, all three solid solutions adopt the same structure type as Eu2Al15Pt6 according to powder X-ray diffraction data. Since the platinide Eu2Al15Pt6 exhibits a (3 + 1)D modulated structure (approximant in space group P121/m1), only the averaged hexagonal unit cell (P63/mmc, Sc0.6Fe2Si4.9 type) was refined by the Rietveld method. Scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) showed that the degree of substitution is in line with the weighed amounts. For values of x > 1/6, no phase-pure samples could be obtained. The results of the magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that the isoelectronic substitution of Pd for Pt lowers the temperature of the first-order valence phase transition from T
trans = 45 K in Eu2Al15Pt6 to T
trans = 42 K in Eu2Al15(Pt5/6Pd1/6)6. For Eu2Al15(Pt5/6Ir1/6)6 and Eu2Al15(Pt5/6Au1/6)6 a change in the electronic situation occurs since the Ir substituted compound exhibits one electron less compared to the pristine Pt compound, while Eu2Al15(Pt5/6Au1/6)6 has one additional electron. As a consequence, Eu2Al15(Pt5/6Ir1/6)6 shows a higher valence phase transition temperature of T
trans = 52 K while for Eu2Al15(Pt5/6Au1/6)6 no such transition is obvious.
Did crops expand in tandem with culinary practices from their region of origin? Evidence from ancient DNA and material culture

Published: January 2024

Grain-cooking traditions in Neolithic China have been characterised as a ‘wet’ cuisine based on the boiling and steaming of sticky varieties of cereal. One of these, broomcorn millet, was one of the earliest Chinese crops to move westward into Central Asia and beyond, into regions where grains were typically prepared by grinding and baking. Here, the authors present the genotypes and reconstructed phenotypes of 13 desiccated broomcorn millet samples from Xinjiang (1700 BC–AD 700). The absence in this area of sticky-starch millet and vessels for boiling and steaming suggests that, as they moved west, East Asian cereal crops were decoupled from traditional cooking practices and were incorporated into local cuisines.
Labor market institutions and policies in old and new EU members

Published: January 2024

Objective:

To evaluate the impact of physical rehabilitation interventions, supplemented with one or more adherence-enhancing components, on outcomes among adults with hip or knee osteoarthritis or chronic lower back pain.

Design:

Primary literature search from inception of each database to July 27, 2021, guided by relevant search terms and keywords to search titles and abstracts. All articles meeting eligibility criteria were included for data abstraction.

Data Sources:

MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, and Embase.

Eligibility Criteria for Selecting Studies:

Randomized and nonrandomized trials evaluating adherence-focused intervention components conducted in addition to an index usual care or usual care–like physical rehabilitation program among adults with hip or knee osteoarthritis or chronic low back pain. Eligible studies included a comparator group of the same index physical rehabilitation intervention without the adjunctive adherence components. Included studies measured outcomes at least 3 months after the rehabilitation course.

Results:

Of the 10 studies meeting inclusion criteria, 6 interventions were delivered concurrent to an index rehabilitation program and 4 were delivered sequentially. Of the 3 studies that reported a positive effect on long-term adherence, only 1 was a low risk of bias study. There is very limited evidence of a beneficial treatment effect of adjunct adherence interventions on long-term physical function, self-efficacy, or adverse events.

Conclusion:

We found inadequate evidence evaluating adherence-enhancing interventions for the specific promotion of long-term adherence to home rehabilitation programs. Future studies should consider testing interventions specifically built to target behavioral maintenance of home rehabilitation programs.
Democratic Bricolage
Authors: Ruud Arild Engelsen , Hasan Mubashar
Published: January 2024

Despite their dominance and control over police, courts, state institutions, media, and civil society, authoritarian governments face multifaceted internal and external contestation over their right to rule and the boundaries of autocratic control. Analysis of this opposition is wanting in the literature on democratic backsliding. Societal groups, institutions, and individuals regularly contest governments’ claim to legitimate rule, and they seek opportunities to raise their voices and be heard. These efforts, which we call democratic bricolage, are mostly uncoordinated, accidental, disconnected, and dependent on opportunities as these arise. But they undermine the government’s claims to authority and legitimacy. They maintain instead the moral claim to democracy, the right to be heard and consulted. We argue that democratic bricolage is the story of democratic resilience in an authoritarian context and an under-studied and little-noticed part of the story of autocratization.
Dolores Del Rio, the First “Latin Invasion,” and Hollywood’s Transition to Sound
Authors: Beltrán Mary
Published: January 2024

This essay examines the career and promotion of Mexican actress Dolores Del Rio as a case study of how Hollywood’s shift to sound film affected Latino and Latina actors. Del Rio’s career aptly illustrates the complex negotiations inherent in marketing a Latina star to non-Latinos, even during the “Latin lover” vogue of the 1920s. It also shows how starring opportunities for Latinos dwindled when accent and language increasingly marked them as nonwhite in the talkie films of the 1930s. The cultural racialization of Mexican Americans and other Latinos in the larger society found parallels in the shifting construction and promotion of Latino and Latina stars.
The Cinematic Genesis of the Mel Casas Humanscape, 1965–1967
Authors: Cordova Ruben C.
Published: January 2024

The 153 paintings that San Antonio–based artist Mel Casas calls Humanscapes were inspired by a glimpse of a drive-in movie screen. This article treats the first three years of work on this series, a period in which the artist referenced cinematic settings and audiences while registering aspects of the sexual revolution. Marshall McLuhan’s Mechanical Bride (1951) deeply influenced the analysis of media imagery and technology that is evident in these paintings. In addition to contemporary cultural influences, the early phase of the Humanscape series also drew on the same artistic influences, namely surrealism and Dada, that shaped the work of other pop artists. By the end of 1967, Casas included parts of signs within his paintings. These signs led to freestanding, independent texts that doubled as subtitles. By juxtaposing punning texts and images, Casas broke from the explicit cinematic setting. Interviews with Casas and statements by the artist assist in discerning the inner logic of this remarkable series.
California’s Agribusiness and the Farm Labor Question
Authors: Kim Joon K.
Published: January 2024

During the interwar period, California’s labor-intensive agriculture transitioned from reliance on diverse immigrants to preference for Mexicans. Political movements to restrict immigration, the Great Depression, and labor unrest compelled farm employers to search for labor that could be used flexibly and deported easily. To achieve this objective, the growers needed a central organization that could foster unity and articulate their collective interest. The formation of the California Farm Bureau Federation and the American Farm Bureau Federation in 1919 and 1920 provided such a political platform. When lawmakers sought to apply the quota provision of the Immigration Act of 1924 to Mexico, the growers’ strong presence at congressional hearings demonstrated their rising influence in policy making. Moreover, the clear difference between Filipinos and Mexicans with respect to deportability during the Depression affirmed the flexibility of Mexican labor. Finally, at the height of labor unrest in the 1930s, the American Farm Bureau leadership called for agricultural class consciousness to strengthen unity and maintain dominance over the striking workers. The development of grower organizations in this era set the stage for California agriculture’s almost exclusive dependence on flexible Mexican labor in the ensuing decades.
Mexican Americans and Eugenic Sterilization
Authors: Lira Natalie , Stern Alexandra Minna
Published: January 2024

This article explores the racial and gendered dynamics of sterilization in California state institutions from the 1920s to the 1950s, with a focus on the experiences of Mexican-origin patients. A set of recently accessed sterilization authorizations reveals that Mexican-origin patients were sterilized at elevated rates, disproportionate to their share of the state population, under California’s eugenic laws. Mexican-origin patients were pathologized as mentally defective and overly fecund in order to justify sterilization. However, these patients and their families challenged California’s eugenic laws and forced sterilization, and their struggles for reproductive rights are an important facet of the pursuit of racial and reproductive justice by Chicana/o communities. This article sheds light on the overlooked role of race in the implementation of California’s sterilization law and in the policing of men and women who transgressed class and gender norms, deepening our understanding of the historical relationship between medicine, public health, race, and reproduction in the United States.
Bodies That Should Matter
Authors: Durán María J.
Published: January 2024

Cherríe Moraga’s 1992 play Heroes and Saints remains a critical dramatic work for both environmental studies and Chicana/o studies. The play mirrors and shapes the lived historical reality of Chicana/o farmworkers and pesticide poisoning in the San Joaquin Valley of Southern California, where a disproportionate number of children were born with birth defects or diagnosed with cancer between 1978 and 1988. This paper examines Moraga’s representation of “slow violence” in the play, which uses arresting images to defy the invisibility of a subaltern Chicana/o community. “Slow violence” is a term coined by environmental scholar Rob Nixon; in contrast to spectacular violence, which is characterized by time- and body-boundedness, slow violence occurs gradually and often invisibly. The theoretical lens of slow violence opens up a space in which to discuss the political, temporal, and activist dimensions of Moraga’s play as well as the significance of the relationship between environmentalism and subalternity. This paper strategically rethinks environmental violence on the body and land as well as the politics of (in)visibility.
Multi-criteria assessment of factors affecting the reduction of retention capacity of dam reservoirs
Authors: Pieron Łukasz , Absalon Damian , Matysik Magdalena
Published: January 2024

Maintaining the appropriate capacity of a retention reservoir is necessary for the optimal performance of the functions for which it was built, including flood and drought protection. Therefore, to properly manage individual reservoirs and sediments within their catchments, it is necessary to analyze the factors affecting the reduction of the retention capacity of reservoirs. Our study proposes a methodology for conducting a multi-criteria assessment of anthropogenic pressures and natural impacts affecting the reduction of reservoir capacity, such as land use, hydrographic network density, hydraulic development, and land slopes. For this purpose, geospatial analyses were applied to a grid of basic fields (hexagons). The research procedure showed that land slopes in the catchment area are the key factor determining the supply of sediment to the reservoir. Our study focused on the basins of reservoirs located in the southern part of Poland: Goczałkowice on the Vistula, Rożnów on the Dunajec, and Tresna on the Soła. However, our proposed new approach to multi-criteria assessment of reservoirs can be applied to and implemented in other catchments. The application of solutions based on our study may contribute to maintaining or potentially increasing the level of water retention in reservoirs and their catchment areas.
Analysis of Men’s Rights as Equality Movement in 21st Century
Authors: Suroyo Suroyo , Putra Bima Maulana
Published: January 2024

Men's problems and interests have been neglected and marginalized primarily because of feminism's political and cultural domination. The novelty of this study is that it provides a current perspective on men's rights in the twenty-first century. The qualitative design of the research relied on semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was performed on the data, which included 548 participants from Australia, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom that were classified in Affiliation, ethnicity, status, and gender. The data was collected from Quora as the major source and other platforms (Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) as supplementary sources. The purpose of this study is not to define anti-feminism. Instead, it describes men's rights, which may be used in any scenario where gender equality is a concern. As a result, supporters of men's rights are concerned about a wide range of issues, some of which have spawned their own organizations or movement, such as the fathers' rights movement, which is particularly concerned with divorce and child custody issues. Gender roles are at the heart of many issues concerning men's rights. In conclusion, men's rights should be treated equally with women's rights to achieve gender equality, and the terms "ladies first" and "Hercules syndrome" should be abolished.
Likelihood of Addressing People's Tenurial Problems at State Own Enterprise Assets
Authors: Hutagalung Syska Naomi , Mayasari Ima
Published: January 2024

This qualitative study aimed to describe potential settlements of community's land problems on state-owned enterprises’ assets. To this end, a qualitative approach was applied. Data were garnered by reviewing literature from journal articles, online media, regulations, and reports relevant to the research topic. Data were analyzed using an interactive model comprising data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing of conclusion. The finding revealed a number of land-related problems in SOEs’ assets. The first problem is related to people's one-sided occupation of SOEs’assets, people’s one-sided occupation of the past land, dual certificate issues between the government and the community, dual recordings between SOEs and Regional government, and customary land claim upon the state’s land. Efforts in resolving these issues also face high barriers, including hindrances in object write-off and subject nomination, inefficient court-based conflict settlement, the bad precedent of SOEs’ asset release, and an indication of post-certification trades. In this regard, some potential settlement mechanisms were proposed, including the release of fixed assets by reducing the state’s equity capital, asset utilization cooperation, the granting of land rights upon the Right of Management, and other agreement-based options. This study's findings gave implications for future policies related to the settlement of SOEs’ land problems.
Entrepreneurial Intentions of Undergraduate Students: Mediating Role of Perceived Feasibility
Authors: Swandaru Andono , Harsono Mugi
Published: January 2024

This study aims to test several Krueger models that have not been carried out by Esfandiar. In this model, the variable perceived feasibility is a mediator but Esfandiar did not test the variable so that the feasibility variable was used as a mediator in this research update. Data was collected using an online questionnaire (Google Form) which was given directly to undergraduate students at Sebelas Maret University. The research method used is PLS with questionnaire analysis using WarpPLS version 7.0. The results show that the mediation of feasibility perception plays a partial role in entrepreneurial intentions, meaning that students' perceptions of eligibility will directly influence entrepreneurial desires to become entrepreneurs. When students feel that the entrepreneurial profession is worthy of student perceptions, it will arouse students' entrepreneurial desires. In addition, when students see the entrepreneurial profession as feasible, it will increase students' self-efficacy and collective-efficacy which in turn can generate entrepreneurial desires.

The Fear of Covid-19 and Perceived Employability Effect on Emotional Exhaustion and Work Engagement: The Mediating Role of Job Insecurity
Authors: Dewi Putu Parama Cinthya , Martdianty Fanny
Published: January 2024

Frontline workers are one of the jobs affected due to Covid-19. Covid-19 events can have negative and positive consequences for frontline workers. This study aims to see how fear of covid affects employee emotional exhaustion during a pandemic. Based on the conservation of resources theory, fear of covid-19 can cause frontline workers to experience emotional exhaustion. In addition, during a pandemic, employees can feel high job insecurity, resulting in low work engagement in the company where employees work. The method used in this research is quantitative. Data analysis was performed on 259 company employees who worked as frontline workers using the Structural Equation Modeling technique. The results of the analysis show that fear of covid-19 has a positive effect on job insecurity, and job insecurity has a significant positive effect on emotional exhaustion. In addition, perceived employability has a positive and significant effect on job insecurity and a significant positive effect on work engagement. It is essential for companies to pay attention so that employees do not have high job insecurity and high emotional exhaustion and can create employee work engagement by conducting various kinds of training and health education to increase engagement and reduce employee fear of Covid.

Published: January 2024

Formaldehyde in solution, commonly known as formalin, is often utilized. In Indonesia, there is widespread misuse of formalin as a food preservative. Formaldehyde has been identified as a carcinogenic substance by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Based on this background, the present study developed a sensor compound capable of detecting formaldehyde obviously. The compound 3'-(4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)dianiline (ChP-2A) has been successfully synthesized through the reduction reaction of the compound 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,6-bis(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine (ChP-0A) using 80% hydrazine hydrate and 10% Pd/C as a catalyst. The ChP-2A compound in acetonitrile exhibits a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity (turn-off) after the addition of formaldehyde, and it has been successfully applied in the form of a test paper for the detection of formaldehyde qualitatively
Study on the relationship between TBT response strategy and export performance: For small and medium-sized businesses related to electricity/electronics

This study identified the impact between small and medium-sized enterprises' trade technical barrier (TBT) response strategies and competitive strategies. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, as a result of conducting multiple regression analysis to verify the impact of TBT response strategy and competitive strategy, the decline factor and corporate will factor had a statistically significant impact, and the relationship between competitive strategy and export performance had a statistically significant impact. It was found to have an effect. Among the TBT response strategies, it was found that system factors had no effect on the differentiation strategy. This means that the companies under study are still unable to break away from the simple production type. Therefore, it is necessary to expand support programs in the field of new technologies so that they can incorporate new technologies and prepare for technological innovation. In addition, in order for small and medium-sized businesses to achieve export results, the government must It is believed that companies themselves should strive to devise a systematic response strategy to TBT under effective support policies.
The Forgotten Slavism. A Sociological Study on the Depreciation of the Memory Concerning the Slavic Heritage in History Textbooks and Curricula in Secondary Schools
Authors:   University of Silesia in Katowice, Kasperek Andrzej , Cabała Agata ,   University of Silesia in Katowice
Published: January 2024

The presented study explores the ways in which two events from the history of Poland – the baptism of Mieszko I and the so-called ‘pagan reaction’ – are shown in history textbooks and curricula. Both of these events are treated here as remembrance sites, creating the historical canon, which constitutes one of the pillars of Poles’ memory of the past. The method of public discourse analysis was applied. The analysis of textbooks and curricula showed that while the christening of Poland is presented as an exceptional remembrance site in its history (one of the major events constituting the historical canon), the so-called pagan reaction is a hardly noticeable event. The attitude to the Slavic past, which is characteristic for the analyzed texts, can be placed within the discourse of depreciation, to which the argumentation, linguistic means, and the symbolism have been subordinated.
“And Is It Really in Lubawka?” Young People and Wanted and Unwanted Cultural Heritage

Published: January 2024

In our research we are seeking for a Lower Silesian identity, we are especially interested in the Polish-German cultural heritage in social remembrance (or social oblivion). In the article our basic purpose is to provide the grounds for discussion about the presence of the sacred space in social memory (the old German Calvary as a part of contemporary Lubawka’s cultural heritage), using group interviews with visual presentations to stimulate a journey back into the past, to familiarize with the place and its images. We aim at the reconstruction of “social frames of memory”, the moments when the small sacral architecture began to lose its religious mad social power, and we also want to show young residents’ attitudes towards this process. The project also seems to have some social value because it may become an introduction to the debate on preserving the Calvary as an element of local identity.
“I Couldn’t Wait to Get away from My Village” : Re-examining Childtowns in Postwar Greece
Authors:   University of Oxford, Michalopoulos Georgios
Published: January 2024

Dozens of thousands Greek children lived in the childtowns in the 1940 and 1950s. Although this experience had profound consequences to their lives, there is to this day no serious study of what exactly was the impact of the childtowns on the children’s values and way of life. I interviewed four children and asked them about the differences between the childtowns and their villages. The key finding is that most children first came in touch with – and chose to accept – a modern and urban way of life in the childtowns. This suggests that despite the objections about the ideological motivations and use of the childtowns, these insitutions had a profound impact on Modern Greek cultural identity.

Resumo Este artigo trata de mudanças no serviço doméstico remunerado decorrentes da expansão de plataformas de redes sociais no país. O texto é baseado em trabalho de campo de aproximadamente doze meses e incluiu observação online, conversas informais e entrevistas em profundidade com trabalhadoras domésticas que não possuem vínculo empregatício e residem na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e na Baixada Fluminense. A análise do material empírico busca explorar os aspectos contraditórios do trabalho doméstico nas primeiras décadas do século XXI, atentando para os impactos dos usos de plataformas sobre o aprendizado e inserção na profissão; sobre dinâmicas de construção de reputação profissional; sobre a criação de novas redes de relações; e sobre a emergência de novas formas de subjetividade política entre as trabalhadoras.
Between Studies about Women and The Family, and The History of Anthropology. Evoking Dialogues with Mariza Corrêa
Authors: Piscitelli Adriana
Published: January 2024

Abstract In this text I present documents written by Mariza Corrêa in the 1990s and 2000s, considering the issues they address and the innovations they offered to the fields of knowledge in which they were produced. Relating these aspects to the author's research trajectory, I also contextualize the texts taking into account the moments in which they were written. Thus, the article offers elements to contribute to a history of Mariza Corrêa's legacy and, in parallel, to the history of anthropology in Brazil.

Authors: Serafim Amanda Gonçalves
Published: January 2024

Abstract The document archive of anthropologist Mariza Corrêa (1945-2016) was donated in 2019 to the Arquivo Edgard Leuenroth, the same institution that houses the papers resulting from her work leading the History of Anthropology in Brazil Project since the 1980s. The objective of this article is to present three unpublished lectures by Corrêa, as well as her archives where this documentation is found, to make public some of the author’s important work, and to encourage new research and reflection on this material, which is relevant to the field of the history of anthropology. This text is also based on my relationship with the documentation and the research I have been carrying out, which focuses on the trajectory of this anthropologist and her roles.

Mujeres que cuidan en silencio. El impacto de la Covid-19 en el trabajo de cuidados domiciliarios en España
Authors: Roca-Escoda Mireia , Cayuela-Sánchez Salvador , Rico-Becerra Juan Ignacio
Published: January 2024

Resumen En este artículo reflexionamos sobre el impacto de la Covid-19 en los trabajos de cuidados a personas en situación de dependencia realizado en los entornos domésticos en España, concretamente los Servicios de Ayuda a Domicilio (SAD). Mediante una metodología cualitativa, hemos recogido las experiencias y percepciones de gestores, representantes sindicales y trabajadoras del SAD para incidir en las limitaciones y oportunidades de la crisis en la realización de su labor, teniendo en cuenta el ámbito privado donde se desarrolla esta actividad y la falta de valoración social de estos trabajos. Así, aunque la pandemia ha vuelto a subrayar la precariedad y feminización de los trabajos de cuidados, también ha evidenciado su importancia social y económica.

Authors: Camardelo Ana Maria Paim , Benedetti Alais , Nostrane Kátia Cardoso
Published: January 2024

Resumo Este artigo objetiva compreender como se expressa a maternidade em mulheres catadoras de resíduos sólidos de associações de reciclagem de Caxias do Sul/RS, por meio da realização de sete entrevistas com catadoras e dos respectivos diários de campo produzidos pelas pesquisadoras. Utilizou-se a Análise Textual Discursiva como caminho metodológico. Identificou-se que a maternidade é precarizada devido às condições sociais das mulheres, as quais vivenciam a ausência de direitos trabalhistas em período gestacional e obrigam-se a criar seus filhos nos galpões de reciclagem, devido à dificuldade de acesso às políticas públicas.
Dia do orgulho heterossexual: a reação conservadora à visibilidade de pessoas LGBTQIA+
Authors: Ferreira Cristiano Lucas , Rêses Erlando da Silva
Published: January 2024

Resumo Este trabalho analisou proposições legislativas com o objetivo de criar o dia do orgulho heterossexual em municípios, estados e em nível federal. A análise de conteúdo, realizada nas justificativas dos projetos de lei apresentados, identificou que, para os parlamentares brasileiros que os propuseram, a necessidade de institucionalizar o orgulho heterossexual está relacionada à defesa da família tradicional, a valores morais e religiosos e à ideia de que a heterossexualidade está em risco. Além disso, utiliza-se a crise da masculinidade como categoria analítica para relacionar tais projetos de lei em um movimento internacional de oposição às políticas de promoção de direitos destinados à população LGBTQIA+.
Dime ¿qué rol prefieres? Experiencias de descubrimiento e interacciones entre practicantes de BDSM en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina)
Authors: Tiloca Agustín Liarte
Published: January 2024

Resumen Este artículo busca analizar la (re)producción de guiones sexuales e interacciones de roles en eventos donde se permitía la realización de prácticas BDSM. En estos encuentros se daba una primera división entre sus participantes mediante membretes adhesivos con bordes coloreados para diferenciar roles de dominación, roles de sumisión, curiosos/curiosas y switches . Desde allí, busco indagar por los procesos de descubrimiento de la categoría BDSM y la construcción de roles desde las experiencias eróticas, así como analizar las (im)posibilidades de interacción entre las personas de acuerdo a los colores de los membretes.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the presence of musculoskeletal pain during the working day among nursing professionals in material and sterilization centers. Method: A cross-sectional study with 36 nursing professionals who answered a questionnaire for personal characterization and diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders and Corlett and Manenica's diagram of painful areas at the beginning and end of the working day. Frequency distribution analysis, Fisher's exact test and likelihood ratio were carried out. Results: The presence of pain was reported by 80.6% (n = 29) of the participants at the start of the working day and 94.4% (n = 34) at the end, and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was 66.6% (n = 24). There was a statistically significant difference in the number of segments with pain between professionals with and without a diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders, in the initial and final assessments. The lumbar spine had a higher prevalence of pain in both assessments. Conclusion: The prevalence of pain increased towards the end of the working day and indicates that there may be a relationship between the work process and the development of pain. It is important to identify working conditions that may contribute to the onset of pain and to adopt preventive measures.

RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar a presença de dor osteomuscular durante a jornada de trabalho, em profissionais de enfermagem de centros de material e esterilização. Método: Estudo transversal, com 36 profissionais de enfermagem, que responderam ao questionário para caracterização pessoal e de diagnóstico de distúrbios osteomusculares e ao diagrama de áreas dolorosas de Corlett e Manenica, no início e fim da jornada de trabalho. Realizou-se análise de distribuição de frequências, teste exato de Fisher e razão de verossimilhança. Resultados: A presença de dor foi referida por 80,6% (n = 29) dos participantes no início da jornada de trabalho e por 94,4% (n = 34) ao final, e a prevalência de distúrbios osteomusculares foi de 66,6% (n = 24). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na quantidade de segmentos com dor entre profissionais com e sem diagnóstico de distúrbios osteomusculares, na avaliação inicial e final. A coluna lombar, em ambas as avaliações, apresentou maior prevalência de dor. Conclusão: A prevalência de dor aumentou ao final da jornada de trabalho e indica que pode haver relação entre o processo de trabalho e o desenvolvimento de dor. É importante identificar condições de trabalho que podem contribuir para o surgimento da dor e adotar medidas de prevenção.
