Recently, the importance of risk management has increased in the field of project management, especially software projects. The importance of risk management is because it has direct effects on the success of the project. Therefore, software organizations face a major challenge in achieving effective and efficient risk management. Therefore, measuring risks in software development is a key activity to be undertaken in risk management. Risk measurement is also one of the important topics that need more effort, especially in a work environment with multiple software projects. A multi-project environment involves multiple projects sharing the same available resources. This research aims to conduct a literature review to discover patterns or trends in software development to measure project risks and to reveal aspects of the measurement process, risk indicators, and various metrics for software projects. This research also aims to present a proposed framework for assessing risks in a multi-project work environment with shared resources for different levels in organizations with different capabilities.
The Utilization of Best Practices and Contemporary Developments of Cost Accounting in Strategic Cost Management
Authors: Khoja Nada
Published: November 2023

For harmonizing production processes and providing an effective production process in industrial enterprises, the first measure to be taken is to use contemporary developments that are appropriate for the structure of the enterprise. For industrial enterprises to be successful, the costing system in each production system should be determined and managed efficiently. Taking as a basis the cost management system is to help maximize the profit of the enterprise. To achieve this aim, contemporary enterprises should prepare for the future by constantly renewing themselves and competing under today’s circumstances. The fierce competition circumstances of today's world and the gradual shortening of the product life cycle compel enterprises to achieve their cost, time and quality objectives simultaneously. The said situation requires the enterprises to launch to market their products with a lower cost, higher quality and faster as compared to their competitors to meet the needs and demands of the customers, and this accomplishment can be realized by using modern costing systems in production. This paper examines the use of contemporary developments in cost accounting in strategic cost management.

On the $(\mathrm{Vil}_B;\alpha)$-diaphony of the Van Der Corput sequence constructed in Cantor Systems
Authors: Grozdanov Vassil , Sevdinova Maria
Published: November 2023

In the present paper the authors consider the so-called $(\mathrm{Vil}_{\mathcal{B}_s};\alpha;\gamma)$-diaphony as a suitable tool to investigate sequences constructed in arbitrary Cantor systems. The definition of this kind of the diaphony is based on using Vilenkin function system and depends on two arguments -- a vector $\alpha$ of exponential parameters and a vector $\gamma$ of coordinate weights. This diaphony is used to investigate the distribution of the points of the Van der Corput sequence $\omega_B$ constructed in the same $B$-adic Cantor system. In this way a process of synchronization between the technique of a construction of the sequence $\omega_B$ and the tool of its studying is realized. Upper and low bounds of the $(\mathrm{Vil}_B;\alpha)$-diaphony of the sequence $\omega_B$ are presented. This permit us to show the influence of the exponential parameter $\alpha$ to the exact order of the $(\mathrm{Vil}_B;\alpha)$-diaphony of this sequence. When $\alpha=2$ the exact order is $\mathcal{O}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{\log N}}{N}\right)$ and when $\alpha>2$ the exact order is $\mathcal{O}\left(\dfrac1N\right)$.

Kolekcja ceramiki chińskiej Juliana Nowaka (1865–1946). Uwagi na temat jej genezy, pochodzenia i translokacji zbiorów
Authors: Pacana Beata
Published: November 2023

Kolekcja sztuki chińskiej, stanowiąca obecnie część zbiorów Działu Sztuki Dalekiego Wschodu Muzeum Narodowego w Krakowie, była tworzona od pierwszej dekady XX wieku. Znaczące zasługi w jej powstaniu miał Julian Nowak (1865–1946). W latach 1906–1941 zgromadził znakomitą kolekcję ceramiki chińskiej, ukazującą rozwój tej dziedziny od czasów epoki Han (206 p.n.e.–220 n.e.) do okresu panowania dynastii Qing (1644–1911). Działalność Nowaka wpisała się w drugą międzynarodową falę zainteresowania sztuką Dalekiego Wschodu, która nastąpiła po upadku cesarstwa w 1911 roku i napływie dzieł sztuki z Państwa Środka do Europy i Stanów Zjednoczonych. W tym czasie powstawały nowe muzea azjatyckie, organizowano międzynarodowe wystawy sztuki Chin w Amsterdamie (1925), Berlinie (1929) i Londynie (1935–1936). Julian Nowak był świadkiem i uczestnikiem tamtych wydarzeń, a dzięki specjalistycznej wiedzy i międzynarodowym kontaktom zgromadził zbiory, które porównywał z najważniejszymi kolekcjami w Paryżu i Londynie. Autorka opisuje ich genezę, a także porusza zagadnienia proweniencji poszczególnych zabytków i mechanizmów translokacji, jakim podlegały.
Scenariusze Zalipia. Współczesne sposoby (re)prezentowania przeszłości sztuki ludowej
Authors: Brzozowska Leonia
Published: November 2023

Artykuł podejmuje problem sposobów prezentowania przeszłości twórczości ludowej Zalipia. Zaproponowana interpretacja jest próbą zastosowania metod performatycznych do badań na gruncie etnologii. W takiej perspektywie zostały odczytane strategie (re)prezentacji przeszłości w wypowiedziach i działaniach zalipianek. Poprzez wykorzystanie koncepcji Diany Taylor zaprezentowano procesy negocjacji między archiwum i repertuarem dostrzeżone podczas badań terenowych oraz powtarzalność i zmienność scenariuszy, które były tworzone w Zalipiu w trakcie spotkań malarek z badaczami. W tych aktach „przepracowywania” przeszłości obecne są między innymi ślady etnograficznego pisania o lokalnej tradycji czy wątki odzwierciedlające społeczno-polityczne wymiary zjawiska sztuki ludowej.
Specyfika muzeów literackich na przykładzie Muzeum Literatury im. Adama Mickiewicza w Warszawie
Authors: Grochowiak Anna
Published: November 2023

Artykuł koncentruje się na specyfice pracy muzeum literackiego, omawiając ją na przykładzie Muzeum Literatury im. Adama Mickiewicza w Warszawie. Przedstawiona charakterystyka opiera się na opisie muzealnej kolekcji, egzemplifikowanej bogatym materiałem ilustracyjnym. Tekst przybliża czytelnikom metody jej opracowywania, nierzadko wymagające wnikliwych i żmudnych badań, szczególnie istotnych w pracy nad archiwami rękopiśmiennymi. Specyfika Muzeum Literatury im. Adama Mickiewicza zostaje zaprezentowana na podstawie struktury instytucji, podzielonej na działy według rodzaju gromadzonych i opracowywanych zbiorów. Autorka zapoznaje czytelnik z kolekcją muzealną i kryteriami nabywania obiektów, które ją tworzą. Znaczna część muzealiów to materiał poszerzający stan badań nad literaturą, co często stanowi ich wartość nadrzędną w stosunku do wartości artystycznej eksponatów. Artykuł ukazuje, że chociaż w muzeum o profilu literackim poziom artystyczny obiektu nie jest ignorowany, to o jego włączeniu do kolekcji decyduje głównie to, co wnosi do wiedzy o literaturze i jej twórcach.
Zabawy w przestrzeni. „Rzeźba napowietrzna” Edwarda Krasińskiego
Authors: Błotnicka-Mazur Elżbieta
Published: November 2023

Edward Krasiński, rzeźbiarz i malarz, jeden z najważniejszych polskich artystów lat 60. i 70. XX wieku, jest znany przede wszystkim ze swoich artystycznych interwencji z użyciem taśmy blue scotch. W niniejszym artykule autorka skupia się jednak na grupie prac rzeźbiarskich Krasińskiego pod nazwą „Dzidy”, które artysta wykonał około połowy lat 60. XX wieku przy użyciu drutu i elementów drewnianych. Julian Przyboś, poeta i krytyk sztuki, nazwał te linearne kompozycje „rzeźbami napowietrznymi”, ze względu na sposób ich prezentacji w otwartej przestrzeni. Celem artykułu jest zaproponowanie nowego odczytania tych kompozycji na podstawie komentarz prasowych Przybosia. Najważniejszymi aspektami, które zostały wzięte pod uwagę, są: dynamika kompozycji, kształt, kolor, interakcja z otaczającą przestrzenią, powiązanie z Teorią Miejsca, która określa relacje między dziełem sztuki, zajmowaną przez nie przestrzenią a odbiorcą, a także charakterystyczne dla tego okresu zainteresowanie artysty zdobyczami nauki i techniki.

Evaluation of Metal Ageing of Reactor Pressure Vessels in a Nuclear Power Plant under the Influence of Ageing Mechanisms and Environmental Conditions
Authors: Dimova Galya
Published: November 2023

The reactor metal in NPP is subjected to ageing mechanisms – corrosion, erosion, fatigue and neutron fluence embrittlement. These mechanisms cause degradation of the mechanical properties and may lead to the occurrence of defects. Environmental conditions are high pressure and fluid temperature values along the primary circuit. Where defects occur, it is possible to observe fracture of the metal under the environmental conditions. The RPV metal was studied by non-destructive testing methods. The article contains the results of the methods applied. In the defects site the values of fluence, circular stresses and temperatures were defined for a reactor operating under accident conditions. The impact of these factors in creating zones in the metal with risk of destruction has been considered. The results show, that corrosion and erosion have not caused defects in the metal. Neutron fluence and its thermal impact on the metal have caused embrittlement which is manifested by indications of defects. Two main factors were observed that lead to the creation of sites with a potential risk of fracture: 1) the neutron and thermal embrittlement of the metal, and 2) the hydraulic stresses from the fluid. The stress intensity factors of some defects, as well as the critical values of these factors have been calculated. The comparison of these values demonstrates that the metal in the danger zones will not be damaged.

During evolution, animals have returned from land to water, adapting with morphological modifications to life in an aquatic environment. We compared the osteochondral units of the humeral head of marine and terrestrial mammals across species spanning a wide range of body weights, focusing on microstructural organization and biomechanical performance. Aquatic mammals feature cartilage with essentially random collagen fiber configuration, lacking the depth-dependent, arcade-like organization characteristic of terrestrial mammalian species. They have a less stiff articular cartilage at equilibrium with a significantly lower peak modulus, and at the osteochondral interface do not have a calcified cartilage layer, displaying only a thin, highly porous subchondral bone plate. This totally different constitution of the osteochondral unit in aquatic mammals reflects that accommodation of loading is the primordial function of the osteochondral unit. Recognizing the crucial importance of the microarchitecture-function relationship is pivotal for understanding articular biology and, hence, for the development of durable functional regenerative approaches for treatment of joint damage, which are thus far lacking.
Baited reconstruction with 2D template matching for high-resolution structure determination in vitro and in vivo without template bias
Authors: Lucas Bronwyn A , Himes Benjamin A , Grigorieff Nikolaus
Published: November 2023

Previously we showed that 2D template matching (2DTM) can be used to localize macromolecular complexes in images recorded by cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) with high precision, even in the presence of noise and cellular background (Lucas et al., 2021; Lucas et al., 2022). Here, we show that once localized, these particles may be averaged together to generate high-resolution 3D reconstructions. However, regions included in the template may suffer from template bias, leading to inflated resolution estimates and making the interpretation of high-resolution features unreliable. We evaluate conditions that minimize template bias while retaining the benefits of high-precision localization, and we show that molecular features not present in the template can be reconstructed at high resolution from targets found by 2DTM, extending prior work at low-resolution. Moreover, we present a quantitative metric for template bias to aid the interpretation of 3D reconstructions calculated with particles localized using high-resolution templates and fine angular sampling.
Breakfast Eating Habits and their Association with Academic Performance: A Cross-sectional Study among Medical Students
Authors: Kaushik Navneet Kumar , Mishra Swati , Sharma Anju , Singh Mohita , Mishra Shailesh
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Breakfast has long been considered the most important meal of the day, yet the frequency of breakfast consumption has declined in recent decades. Adequate breakfast habits are related to optimal physiological, psychological, and social health. Aim: To assess the breakfast eating habits of medical students and find the association between breakfast habits and academic performance. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was carried out in the Department of Physiology at Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati (SHKM) Government Medical College, Nuh, Haryana, India. The duration of the study was three months from July 2022 to September 2022. A total of 350 apparently healthy medical undergraduates from the second year to final year participated in the study. Breakfast eating patterns and other characteristics of the morning meal consumed by participants were assessed using a structured proforma. Participants were divided into three groups (regular, irregular, and skippers) based on the frequency of breakfast consumption. Academic performance was assessed based on the aggregate marks (%) obtained in the university examination. Data were compiled and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare academic performance (% marks) among the breakfast groups, and the relationship between the aforementioned variables was determined using Pearson’s Chi-square test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 20.95±1.10 years. Present study showed that only around one-third, 121 (34.6%) students ate breakfast regularly (6-7 days/week), while the remaining either consumed it irregularly or skipped it altogether. A significant association (p=0.02) was found between breakfast habits and academic performance, with regular breakfast eaters performing better compared to skippers. Conclusion: Irregular consumption of breakfast is quite prevalent among medical students. Poor time management emerged as the main reason for this behaviour. Breakfast habits may influence academic performance, but it warrants further investigation using a multivariate approach.
Comparison of Shear Bond Strength and Adhesive Remnant Score of Orthodontic Brackets Bonded with Three Different Orthodontic Adhesives: An In-vitro Study
Authors: Ramsundar Kavitha , Jain Ravindra Kumar
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Adequate bond strength between orthodontic brackets and enamel is necessary to withstand masticatory forces. Priming involves applying a primer before using the adhesive as a separate step. To reduce bonding time, manufacturers have introduced self-priming adhesives. Aim: To evaluate the Shear Bond Strength (SBS) and Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) scores of a Bis-GMA based self-priming adhesive (Orthofix SPA, Anabond) and compare it with a 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) based self-priming adhesive (Aqualine LC, Tomy ortho) and a Bis-GMA containing primer-based orthodontic adhesive (Transbond XT, 3M). Materials and Methods: The present In-vitro study was conducted at the White Lab., Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, from December 2020 to January 2021. A total 54 freshly extracted premolar teeth were collected and divided into three groups (Group A - Orthofix SPA, Group B - Transbond XT, and Group C - Aqualine LC) based on the adhesive used. A 0.022 metal orthodontic brackets were bonded, and SBS and ARI scores of the samples were assessed. The Shapiro-Wilk test for normality was conducted. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the mean and standard deviation of SBS values and ARI scores among the three groups, and a post-hoc Tukey test was performed for inter group comparisons. Results: Significant inter group differences were observed (p=0.004). Group A had lower SBS than Groups B and C. Significant inter group differences (p-value of 0.003) in ARI scores were noted, with Group A having the lowest scores. Conclusion: The Bis-GMA self-priming adhesive (Orthofix SPA) exhibited lower SBS and ARI scores compared to commercially available HEMA-based self-priming adhesive systems and primer-based Bis-GMA adhesive systems.

Scientific interest in the search for natural antioxidants (secondary metabolites) from medicinal plants has increased considerably in recent years, due to the involvement of free radicals in the genesis of many diseases. The aim of the present study is to determine qualitatively and quantitatively the secondary metabolites of aqueous and hydroethanol extracts from the leaves of the medicinal plants under investigation. Qualitative determination is based on staining and/or precipitation reactions, while quantitative determination is based on the assay of secondary metabolites. The results of their qualitative determinations revealed an abundance of polyphenols and saponins, a significant presence of flavonoids and anthocyanins, and a moderate presence of alkaloids, terpenes and catechic tannins in the aqueous extract. In the hydroethanol extract, on the other hand, there is an abundance of flavonoids, a significant presence of polyphenols, saponins and anthocyanins, and a moderate presence of alkaloids, terpenes and catechic tannins. Gallic tannins and quinones are absent in both extracts. While their quantitative assay revealed an abundance of flavonoids (314.51±5.14 mgEAG/g extract) and total polyphenols (66.19±2.44 mgEQ/g extract). Thus, the high flavonoid and polyphenol content of the various extracts (aqueous and hydroethanolic) of the leaves of the plants studied would justify their use in traditional medicine in the care of sickle-cell patients.

Aim: To determine the extent of genetic divergence (D2 statistics) present in sesame genotypes for different traits.

Study Design: The experiment was conducted in Augmented Block Design (ABD).

Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was laid out in kharif 2020 at BSP (Groundnut) Research Farm, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.).

Methodology: Total 160 sesame genotypes and 5 checks viz., RT346, PBTil2, GT10, TMV-7 and VRI-1 were used for diversity analysis for twelve quantitative traits for selection of diverse parents. The 165 genotypes were grouped into eight clusters based on the Mahalanobis D2 values following Tocher’s methods.

Results: Maximum inter cluster distance (63.235) was exhibited between cluster III and cluster VIII and intra cluster distance (28.509) was in cluster VII. The lowest inter cluster divergence (15.881) was noticed between cluster III and V indicating that the genotypes included in them were closely related. Relative contribution of different characters to total divergence was assessed through comparison of actual D2 values for individual characters over all possible combinations. Cluster III had highest mean value for plant height (126.609), days to flower initiation (34.308), days to 50% flowering (37.462), and oil content (44.715). Cluster VII reported to be days to maturity (91.750), number of primary branches per plant (3.833) and number of secondary branches per plant (2.625) and in cluster V had capsule length (2.651). cluster VI reported for number of capsules per plant (59.484) and seed yield per plant (9.168), number of seeds per capsule (58.533) and thousand seed weight (2.848). It was revealed that number of primary branches per plant (11.32%) followed by oil content (11.06%) and number of capsules per plant (11.05%) contributed maximum to total divergence and minimum contributed by days to flower initiation (3.49%).

Conclusion: So, it is expected that crosses between genotypes of cluster III with genotypes of cluster VIII will give rise to high yielding sergeants as high inter cluster distance and those clusters has recorded good mean values can be preferred in selecting germplasm lines for respective traits.
ESKİ BATI'NIN OCAK TANRIÇALARI: HESTİA-VESTA
Authors: Külahlı Nuriye
Published: November 2023

Antik çağ toplumları için kutsal kabul edilen “ocak ateşi” anlamına gelen Hestia, Yunan toplumlarının ocak tanrıçası olarak kabul görmüştür. Antik Yunan’ın Hestia kültü, ateşi sembolize eden ritüelleri içermekte ve Eski Batı’nın kutsal merkezlerin ilk örneğini sunmaktadır. Evi temsil eden bekâr tanrıça zamanla kentin ocak tanrıçası sayılmıştır. Hestia, Roma dininde Vesta adıyla anılmıştır. Vesta kültü, Roma’nın bütünlüğü için büyük öneme sahip olmuştur. Antik yazarlar, devletin ateşinin Vesta tarafından korunduğunun altını çizmektedirler. Tanrıçanın adı bu kültün rahibelerine verilmiştir. Vesta rahibeleri, Roma’nın sonsuz kamusal ocağını koruyanlardır. Onlar, Roma toplumunda oldukça saygın kabul edilmişlerdir. Onların sahip oldukları ayrıcalıklı haklar soylu Roma kadınlarınki ile eşdeğerdedir. Roma toplumunda bu denli saygınlık kazanmış olan bu kadın grubunun ayrıcalıklı olma sebebi elbette ki kutsal görevleridir. Bu çalışma, Eski Batı’nın ocak kültünü Hestia ve Vesta kapsamında tanımlamak ve bu tanımın Yunan ve Roma toplumlarındaki gelişimini antik kaynaklar ışığında ve modern eserler ile destekleyerek incelemeyi ve değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Charismatic Teaching: Cultivating Motivation in Community College Classrooms
Authors:   Spokane Community College, Anderson Amy
Published: November 2023

There are over six million community college students in the United States. Many non-traditional students face unique obstacles as they balance work, school, and familial responsibilities. As a result, community college students can become unmotivated in their classes, and this lack of internal drive can negatively impact their success and longevity in school. Therefore, college faculty must learn new strategies to cultivate motivation in their classrooms, whether in person or online. One technique instructors can utilize is charismatic teaching, which includes teachers’ professional knowledge, positive character traits, sense of humor, and quality teaching techniques. This quantitative predictive correlational study examined if, and to what extent, a predictive relationship existed between charismatic teaching and students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in community colleges in the Northwest United States. The results indicated that the global score of charismatic teaching (professional knowledge, positive character traits, sense of humor, and quality instruction techniques) was the highest predictor of intrinsic motivation (R2=.51). Educators can cultivate intrinsic motivation in community college classes, whether in person or online, through charismatic teaching techniques. However, charismatic teaching did not significantly predict students’ extrinsic motivation. College faculty may consider employing charismatic teaching techniques to improve community college students’ intrinsic motivation in their classes.
Sobre uma polêmica acerca da dependência, do valor e da troca desigual
Authors: Féliz Mariano
Published: November 2023

Esta é uma tentativa de refletir sobre os comentários críticos de Leite, De Paula e Corrêa (2023) sobre o recente esforço de reconstrução do debate em torno da troca desigual no campo da teoria marxista da dependência, que aparentemente deixou incompleta e imprecisa a nossa leitura do problema básico do que é troca desigual. Entendemos que isso contribuiu para algumas interpretações errôneas da nossa abordagem, para além de ter exposto diferenças interpretativas reais. Por outro lado, talvez parte das dificuldades decorra do fato de Leite e outros construírem um debate paralelo conosco e com Neto (2011). Isto pode levar a um debate confuso entre duas interpretações que, embora tenham pontos em comum, não são necessariamente convergentes em todos os aspectos relevantes. A nossa abordagem ao problema da troca desigual parte de uma leitura precisa da constituição social do valor; claro que é possível que a nossa tentativa não tenha atingido a clareza necessária.
debate contemporâneo sobre troca desigual: crítica de uma proposta para atualizar a teoria marxista da dependência negando as transferências de valor
Authors: Leite Leonardo , De Paula Patrick , Corrêa Hugo
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho analisa algumas das principais críticas à noção de transferência de valor presente na Teoria Marxista de Dependência. Para isso, apresenta um conjunto de teorias contemporâneas que busca rejeitar a clássica tese dependentista da troca desigual a partir da transferência de valor. Os principais argumentos contrários à possibilidade de transferência de valor são submetidos a críticas fundamentadas na teoria do valor marxiana, concluindo-se que esse conjunto de teorias contemporâneas não é capaz de desafiar a tese da transferência de valor.
Dívida pública e sua funcionalidade na economia capitalista mundial
Authors: Trindade José Raimundo
Published: November 2023

O artigo trata das funcionalidades integradas da dívida pública nas economias centrais e periféricas: a função de absorção de capital de empréstimo para as economias centrais, atuando como fator de controle sistêmico na economia mundo capitalista; e a função de transferência de riqueza entre as economias periféricas e centrais, elemento interativo fundamental para manutenção da ordem sistêmica da economia mundo capitalista. A inferência empírica da participação da dívida pública no sistema de crédito é bastante conhecida, durante a década de 1990, por exemplo, os fundos de previdência e os fundos de investimento inverteram pelo menos um terço de suas carteiras em títulos da dívida pública. Nas décadas de 2000, 2010 e 2020, por mais que essa percentagem tenha declinado, os títulos da dívida pública das economias desenvolvidas mantiveram-se como a forma mais segura de aplicação de capital de empréstimo à disposição de capitalistas e rentistas diversos, por outro se aprofunda o processo de austeridade nas economias periféricas, estabelecendo crescente rigidez fiscal e crescente pagamento de juros de serviços da dívida pública, regulando crescente transferência de riqueza das economias periféricas para o sistema de crédito global, controlado pelas economias centrais.

Published: November 2023

Este artigo é fruto da discussão entre vivências do cotidiano em serviços públicos de saúde com teóricas(os) que propõem uma implicação política da Psicologia Social, as diretrizes previstas para a atuação da psicologia na Atenção Básica à Saúde (AB) e pensadoras feministas a fim de pensar práticas comprometidas com a mudança social. Esperançando novas formas de produção de conhecimento e de intervenção da Psicologia Social na AB, o presente estudo objetiva alimentar o debate sobre a dimensão ético-política da relação entre a atuação da Psicologia Social e a AB, considerando as desigualdades e marcadores sociais a partir de uma perspectiva feminista. Para finalizar será apresentada a experiência de criação do grupo de mulheres na Unidade de Saúde (US), como ferramenta de conscientização e intervenção possível para a promoção da saúde na AB.

O estudo objetiva analisar a configuração subjetiva da maternidade como constitutiva da dinâmica de vida da mulher, em contexto de pandemia. Apoiado na Teoria da Subjetividade, de perspectiva cultural-histórica, e Epistemologia Qualitativa expõe os resultados de uma investigação empírica com três mulheres brasileiras, em contextos e momentos cronologicamente distintos da maternidade. Os recursos informacionais foram: dinâmicas conversacionais, redação, diário materno e fotografias. Apresentam-se três eixos de análise: a) a maternidade constituída historicamente e sua expressão atual na pandemia; b) ser mãe entre demandas na pandemia: maternidade, vida acadêmica e profissional; c) as dinâmicas sociais dos sistemas de relações da mulher: maternidade e pandemia. Os resultados indicam aspectos como a singularidade, historicidade e o caráter gerador da mulher para avançar na compreensão de investigações e práticas sobre a maternidade.
NORMATIVAS INTERNACIONAIS DE GÊNERO: AGENDA MULHERES, PAZ E SEGURANÇA E O CASO BRASILEIRO.
Authors: Oakes Rachel , Kyrillos Gabriela de Moraes , Florio Bibiana Poche
Published: November 2023

A Agenda Mulheres Paz e Segurança (MPS) foi formalizada pelo Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas com a Resolução 1325 (2000). Anteriormente, não havia normas internacionais que versavam diretamente sobre o tema. As discussões de gênero no campo das Relações Internacionais é relativamente recente e ainda incipiente, quando consideradas outras áreas das ciências humanas. Pensando nisso, analisamos a evolução das normativas internacionais sobre a Agenda MPS e seus desdobramentos no que se refere ao caso brasileiro. A partir de Bardin (1977) e Moraes (1999), a metodologia utilizada foi a análise do conteúdo, realizada em dois conjuntos de documentos selecionados, sendo estes: documentos prévios (1) e posteriores (2) à Resolução 1325. Em seguida, analisamos seus desdobramentos no Brasil com o Plano Nacional de Ação (PNA), de 2017. Buscamos contribuir para a superação das lacunas no campo dos estudos de segurança e gênero, em especial identificando os avanços limitados da Agenda MPS em nível nacional e internacional. Por fim, indicamos como a Agenda MPS e o PNA são insuficientes no que se refere à segurança das mulheres brasileiras.
VIVÊNCIA FEMININA DURANTE A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19: O AGRAVAMENTO DA VIOLÊNCIA DE GÊNERO NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE BELÉM, PARÁ

Published: November 2023

Este artigo analisou os marcadores sociais de diferença agravados pela pandemia de COVID-19, intensificando problemas sociais pré-existentes, como a desigualdade de gênero. Utilizou-se a noção de sindemia, caracterizada pela junção entre um problema de âmbito social que é piorado em virtude de uma crise humanitária. Para isso, a pesquisa focou na violência de gênero, que por efeito das medidas de isolamento social sofreu aumento significativo, e buscou o auxílio da pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o contexto do Brasil durante a pandemia. O Google Formulário foi utilizado para obtenção de relatos da vivência das mulheres no período pandêmico, contando com 107 participantes. Constatou-se que a pandemia intensificou os casos de violência doméstica e intrafamiliar, prejudicando a busca por medidas protetivas em ocasião do lockdown obrigatório. Se fazendo necessário políticas públicas que considerem os contextos extremos, como a pandemia, ao elaborar medidas de redução da violência de gênero, de modo a não ressaltar ainda mais a desigualdade.
