Published: December 2024

Introduction. Recent years, both Ukraine and European countries have experienced an abrupt increase in the number of traumatic events and unexpected social changes. This correlates with an increased risk of stress related disorders prevalence. The risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder include the female gender and type of trauma (man-made). The hormonal status of a woman (oral contraceptives usage) is poorly studied, but is a promising preventive factor for PTSD.

Aim. To identify clinically significant difference in post-stress gender reactions and assess the impact of chronic and acute combat stress on the mental and psychosomatic state of the military.

Results. At the first stage, military in the war zone were examined (n = 47), 64% were men, mean age was 33 ± 8.3 y. o ., and the average duration of military service was 11.5 months. Men were characterized by an increased levels of guilt, physical aggression, the frequency and amount of alcohol consumption, and occurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, the prevalence of PTSD was 20%. Among women, there was an increase in the levels of resentmen, hostility, anxiety, depression and the severity of stress, high body mass index, the prevalence of PTSD was 23.5% -25.9%. The decrease in the quality of life in women was associated with biological anhedonia (sex, living conditions, physical condition), with social anhedonia (lack of self-realization at work or in society) in men.

At the second stage of research, the purpose of which was to assess the psychosomatic effect of combat stress on reproductive function, 54 women aged 33.4 ± 8 y. o. were examined. Half of the women in the service from 1 to 2 years planed a pregnancy, in 5.5% the pregnancy was confirmed by a gynecologist. Women who used oral contraceptives had the highest quality of life levels; PTSD was absent in this category of women. Women whose contraceptive method was barrier (condoms), or they were in menopause  had the highest levels of post-traumatic stress and poor quality of life. Gynecological complications were three times more often in women with PTSD. Women had a desire to build a military career and at the same time a desire to become a mother. As a result, this splitting leads to failure in both areas and is often accompanied by psychosomatic problems, such as the inability to get pregnant.

Conclusions. The response to stress due to psychological trauma is gender-specific, women are at greater risk of mental health issues. Understanding the gender specific characteristics of a stress response leads to targeted and more effective treatment of PTSD. Future studies should pay particular attention to the hormonal status of women. Research of possible PTSD predictors and effective early intervention strategies right after exposure to trauma is one of the key goals of psychiatry and medical psychology nowadays.
A psychosomatic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety in patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases
Authors: Chaban Oleh , Khaustova Olena , Sak Lesia
Published: December 2024

Background. Anxiety is a normal protective mechanism that a person acquired during evolution and is the very first mental reaction that occurs in response to a disease or precedes it. When anxiety becomes long-term and pronounced, it is anxiety as a disorder that negatively affects a person’s quality of life, disrupting his physical, mental and social functioning.

The early diagnosis and treatment of anxiety in patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD) is important for preventing chronic and somatization of mental disorders, reducing and preventing complications of NCD.

At the primary care level, naturopathic drugs occupy an important place in the treatment of subclinical anxiety disorders or somatized anxiety disorders. A number of clinical studies prove the anxiolytic and anti-stress effect of ashwagandha extract L-thianine and passiflora extract (Passiflora incarnata), which were combined in the phytotherapy complex Anxiomedin®.

Methods and materials. An 4-week study tested the efficacy and safety of Anxiomedin in the treatment of psychosomatic manifestations of anxiety in 75 adult ambulatory patients with NCD. Patients were examined according to the HADS Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, a four-dimensional questionnaire for assessing distress, depression, anxiety and somatization 4DSQ, the Sax-Sydney SSCT method of incomplete sentences; blood pressure (BP) and pulse were also monitored.

Results.  At 4 weeks of therapy, patients with NCD and subclinical anxiety had a reduction: somatization on the 4DSQ scale (-57.7%), anxiety on the HADS scale (-58.6%), conflict index according to the SSCT method (-42.3%) , sympathicotonia (decrease in heart rate by 24.4%). Also according to the SSCT method, significant conflict zones that have undergone a significant reduction in the course of therapy were: attitude to the future (p <0.01); fears and anxieties (p <0.01); attitude to the disease (p <0,01); attitude to himself (p <0,05). No significant side effects were detected during the study.

Conclusion. There is a two-way link between anxiety and NCD regarding the onset and development of mental and physical disorders. In the treatment of subclinical and somatized anxiety, especially in primary care, naturopathic drugs, such as Anxiomedin, have proven to be effective and safe.
From burnout to involvement of medical staff. Strategies for successful creation of an effective organizational culture in a medical institution (practical cases of the Mayo Clinic)
Authors: Naumenko Galyna
Published: December 2024

The health care system is changing rapidly in an effort to provide quality care, improve public health, and optimize spending on patients with chronic diseases and the elderly.

Changes affecting clinical practice include new approaches to payment and supply of medicines, electronic medical records, patient portals and public reports on quality indicators. Leaders of the transformation are health professionals, whose daily work is crucial for the success and improvement of the Health Care system.

It should be borne in mind that the consequence of systemic medical changes and the resulting additional pressure may be professional burnout of health workers. To prevent burnout, it is necessary to develop the involvement of staff, which should not be only the personal responsibility of the health worker, but form a comprehensive approach to the interaction of the organization and employees.

That is why the mistake of many medical institutions is to start with narrowed decisions for the formation of staff involvement. For example, through trainings, seminars on stress management, etc. Healthcare professionals perceive these actions as insincere intentions of the medical institution in solving problems. The organization must demonstrate by its actions and example the concern for the well-being of its employees (creation of recreation areas, transparent system of rewards and feedback, optimization / automation of processes to simplify work, etc.). Using the experience of the Mayo Clinic*, this article will discuss 9 effective strategies to achieve this goal.

* The Mayo Clinic is a non-profit organization (an organization that does not have the main purpose of its activities to make a profit and does not distribute the profits among the participants), one of the largest private medical and research centers in the world, founded in 1889. As of 2012, the Mayo Clinic is an exemplary medical center, employing 50.9 thousand people, including 3,800 doctors and scientists. The clinic's revenue in 2012 exceeded $ 8.8 billion; about $ 500 million is allocated for research. Medical facilities under the auspices of the Mayo Clinic operate in 70 cities in the United States, the largest units - in Phoenix and Jacksonville.

Education for self- reliance was the most important educational principle which Julius Nyerere considered as a foundation for Africa’s development. For him, it is important that the educational system in Africa should be structured in such a way that it will foster the goals of togetherness and cooperative endeavours for the liberation of the African continent. Education for self-reliance is about gaining self-independence, self-determination and self-valued. He however, made a case that such an educational system would be geared towards the freedom of the African man from the constraints imposed by colonial dependency. To this end, the purpose of this paper therefore, is to assess Nyerere concept of education for African self-reliance. In doing this, a conceptual clarifications and rigorous analytical method would be applied. Finding revealed that our educational system had been westernised which promotes the culture and custom of the western countries. It is also revealed that the western style of education had not meant our societal demands in Africa. This study therefore recommended that an indigenous educational system is necessary for Africa and African to fully liberate itself from western control and dependency. It is also recommended that an Afrocentric educational system is needed at this point in order to promotes our culture and customs for self- fulfillment and self-realization.

State policing has become a prominent topic in Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to reform law enforcement and address security challenges. This study, therefore, investigated how students in some selected Nigerian tertiary institutions perceived state policing, with an emphasis on their knowledge of the concept, its efficiency in upholding law and order, and their reservations about its implementation. 32 undergraduate students majoring in criminology and security studies at the University of Ilorin and Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin provided qualitative data through structured interviews. Analysis of the data showed that responses from 16 participants reached topic saturation. Thematic analysis revealed that students expressed worries over political meddling, corruption, and possible violations of human rights, even as the majority expressed cautious optimism about the ability of state policing to increase security. The paper stressed the necessity of addressing these challenges and offers recommendations for the effective implementation of state policing.

Selection of leadership roles in university system has to do with the ability to get things done with the support and cooperation of other people within the institution. Leadership in the universities in Nigeria is handled by Vice-Chancellors and they are regarded as critical academic leaders because of the executive powers and roles attached to their offices. In choosing Vice-Chancellors of these higher institutions of learning, various actors are at play, both internal i.e. the Visitor, governing council and the university senate, as well as external interest parties such as politicians, businessmen, religious leaders, among others. This study examined the roles and influences of these various interest parties in the selection of Vice-chancellors in selected public universities in Southwest Nigeria. The theory adopted for the research is stakeholder theory. Primary and secondary sources of data served as the sources of information gathering. Interviews were conducted with various stakeholders in the university environments. The study found out that the major stakeholders (the Visitor, governing council and university senate) are backed up by law to appoint vice-chancellors based on laid down principles and merits. However, especially in the contemporary times, external interest parties (politicians, traditional rulers, religious leaders, etc.) have been influencing the process. Also, the interference of these stakeholders has caused many crises that resulted in loss of merit and quality in the governance of these institutions. Some of the interest parties have descend so low as to engage in dubious activities due to the interference. The research recommends harmonization of genuine concerns of interested parties in ways that meritocracy and integrity can be prioritized to ensure the appointment of competent and qualified individuals.

Authors:   Department of Accounting, Banking and Finance, Chrisland University Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, Adegboyega Afolabi
Published: December 2024

Researchers have continued to debate on the possibility of companies’ income tax affecting the earnings of companies without much concern for its link with financial leverage. This research evaluated the influence of companies’ income tax and financial leverage on manufacturing companies listed in Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design and population of 41 Nigerian manufacturing companies quoted on Nigerian Exchange (NGX) (2021) were adopted for the study. The sample size was 20 companies using stratified sampling and secondary data from audited published financial statements for ten years covering 2012 to 2021. Descriptive and inferential (regression) statistics were employed for the analyses of data. The findings revealed that companies’ income tax (CIT) had no significant effect on profitability with t-stat p=0.61, p>0.05 therefore accepting the null hypothesis; but financial leverage had significant effect on profitability with t-stat of 5.217 and p=0.000, p<0.05, hence null hypothesis is rejected; also both companies’ income tax and financial leverage had significant effect on profitability of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria with F-stat value of 18.96 and p=0.000; p<0.05; therefore null hypothesis is rejected. The study concluded that majority of the listed Nigerian manufacturing companies are operating on loan and companies’ income tax alone cannot significantly influence their profitability but it was possible with the inclusion of financial leverage. It recommended that government should review the tax policy so that companies’ income tax rate can be reduced, and improve infrastructural facilities deficiency.

This study explored the dynamics of interactions between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and its members, focusing on their perceptions of staff welfare in Nigerian universities. Drawing on Social Exchange Theory, the study examined how Academic Staff Union of Universities members invest in the union with expectations of reciprocal benefits, particularly in advocating for their welfare. A descriptive survey design was employed, with data collected from Academic Staff Union of Universities members in six universities through questionnaires and interviews. Findings reveal significant gender differences in perceptions of remuneration improvements since 2015, with male respondents showing more positive views. Moreover, while salaries for academic staff have increased nominally, inflation and economic factors have diminished their real value, leading to economic desperation among members. Academic Staff Union of Universities’ efforts to secure earned allowances are commendable, yet political obstacles persist. The study underscores Academic Staff Union of Universities’ vital role in improving member welfare and challenging government dominance in tertiary education governance. To address staff welfare, it is essential to prioritize negotiation over strikes, embrace multidimensional approaches to dispute resolution, and ensure timely payment of earned allowances. Overall, proactive dialogue, mutual respect, and effective conflict resolution are essential for enhancing academic staff welfare and educational standards in Nigerian universities.

"Mulher bonita é mulher que luta"
Authors: Chamusca Tess
Published: December 2024

Os feminismos têm sido pauta constante na construção da identidade do GNT como canal voltado ao público feminino. O artigo discute como GNT se relaciona com as lutas feministas, percurso que traz pistas das mudanças nas percepções sobre o tema no Brasil. A identidade de um canal é compreendida como resultado da interação entre discursos e práticas do campo da produção e da recepção em contextos específicos. O corpus inclui programas, vinhetas e matérias sobre o canal e depoimentos de gestoras e apresentadores. São analisadas a estreia do Saia Justa (2002), a parceria com a ONU Mulheres (2015), e a promessa de um canal da diversidade (2017). Ao transitar de uma recusa dos feminismos para a afirmação de uma mulher feminina e feminista, o GNT promove uma celebração das diferenças que avança pouco na problematização da mútua constituição dos sistemas de opressão que atingem as mulheres.
‘Programados pela testosterona’

Published: December 2024

O artigo discute as representações da masculinidade no audiovisual, utilizando o conceito de Stuart Hall (2016), a partir de três personagens, pertencentes a uma mesma família estadunidense de elite, situados em gerações distintas, retirados da segunda temporada da série The White Lotus, produzida em 2022 e disponível na HBO. A questão que guia a discussão é como como a narrativa ficcional, com seus signos dialógicos e imagéticos, descreve os personagens masculinos da família Di Grasso e como, nas tramas, os significados masculinos relacionados à virilidade e ao poder são apresentados, marcando continuidades estruturais da dominação masculina (Bourdieu, 2005) e diferenças geracionais na condução das relações. A investigação se apoiará, mais especificamente, em duas cenas da segunda temporada – nos episódios 1 e 3.

A cultura, como tecido social, nos identifica, nos aproxima e nos faz sentir pertencentes ao grupo, lugar e espaço sociais. Refletimos: o que é a Amazônia? Quais as marcas culturais presentes nas vozes daqueles que a enunciam? O objetivo é analisar os elementos mobilizadores que constroem o sentido cultural da Amazônia, na interseção entre as linguagens televisiva e literária. Como escopo de análise, selecionamos o romance Dois Irmãos, adaptado pela TV Globo, em minissérie exibida em 2017. Milton Hatoum narra os dramas de uma família de origem libanesa em Manaus. Analisamos a adaptação, marcado pelo dialogismo e pela polifonia, numa aproximação entre linguagens, que evidenciam elementos culturais de interpretação do local. Na análise, o rio é metáfora de existência humana, é nele que o fluxo de vida, indicador de serenidade e angústia, tensão e inquietação, memória e construção cultural.
"Quem é você?"

Published: December 2024

Este artigo discute a caracterização de identidades de personagens atrelados a mediunidade em telenovelas espíritas da TV Globo. Tendo como corpus eventos narrativos de A Viagem, Alma Gêmea e Além do Tempo, discuto o contexto latino no qual desponta a telenovela brasileira e a importância da atenção às imagens em sua completude. Tomo a televisualidade conjugada ao estilo televisivo como aporte teórico-metodológico e, nas análises, identifico recursos da montagem, atuação dos atores e trilhas figurando as tensões identitárias abordadas nas tramas quanto a mediunidade: desde os enfrentamentos e teor destrutivo visto nas obras iniciais (A Viagem e Alma Gêmea) até a naturalização da mediunidade (Além do Tempo). Concluo pela presença de um percurso que parte do tom didático em torno do tema mediúnico, com abordagem inicialmente literal, até a chegada à figuração da mediunidade como fenômeno fluido e da cotidianidade.

Published: December 2024

O artigo traz uma reflexão a respeito da hegemonia estadunidense em diálogo com a ascensão chinesa no século XXI. Utilizamos o caso do filme chinês Terra à Deriva (2019), que oferece uma visão alternativa de mundo, alinhada aos valores e interesses chineses, para explorar a interseção entre geopolítica e ficção. Buscamos compreender como a China vem afirmando a sua identidade e investindo na construção de um imaginário a respeito de sua influência global. Atentamos, portanto, ao valor das narrativas ficcionais para se discutir dinâmicas geopolíticas mais abrangentes.
Por uma epistemologia do barranco como afronta do saber
Authors: David Vieira William
Published: December 2024

Poderiam ser tomadas, como fenômenos comunicacionais de saberes localizados, as rememorações de um sujeito-pesquisador acerca de seu passado? Neste texto, de tom mais ensaístico e redigido em bloco único, utilizo o relato de um índice de subjetividade sobre minha infância em uma periferia como estratégia de “escrevivência” (Evaristo, 2018), a trafegar por três materialidades que saltam dos escritos: o amor, a nostalgia e o sonho. Pensando minhas vivências em meio a uma geografia do barranco, lanço-me na empreitada de alçar essa categoria – o barranco – a uma dimensão de epistemologia que afronte formas ortodoxas de saber, responsáveis por anularem outras mais dissonantes e preteridas nos eixos chancelados de conhecimento. Pelo caminho traçado, este texto experimenta ser uma metodologia em andamento de sua própria proposta, chamando ainda para a conversa referenciais que andam de mãos dadas com esse saber periférico.

Revisitamos, através de uma apropriação e desconstrução crítica, investigações que valeram-se da transmetodologia na construção do conhecimento junto ao campo da comunicação nos últimos dez anos. Esse movimento compreende as contribuições da perspectiva transmetodológica como um deslocamento epistêmico em/para comunicação (Maldonado, 2013a; 2013b; 2015; 2022; 2024), ao mesmo tempo em que projeta incitações para futuras empreitadas no campo. Reitera, assim, a potencialidade de naturezas coletivas na produção do saber, a vigilância epistemológica crítica (Bachelard, 2005; 2006; Japiassu, 1988), e assume a pesquisa como eixo central para culturas científicas e cidadanias compromissadas com a conquista e experimentação de um mundo outro (Bonin, 2011; 2022). Celebra, ainda, a transmetodologia como potência criativa para produções epistemológicas da margem ao centro.
Entre a cova e o berço
Authors: Távora Bruna , Rangel Marcelo , Gonçalves Antônio Vinícius
Published: December 2024

O artigo reflete a relação entre trabalho e modos de significação, observando a metáfora Roça do Futuro e a oposição entre as palavras cova e berço, utilizadas pelo agricultor Ivanilson Leal e sua família, que vivem no Assentamento Paulo Freire II, em Estância, Sergipe. Por meio de referências epistemológicas que entendem a comunicação para além do ato de transmissão de mensagens, analisando os aspectos ético, técnico e estético. A metodologia de coleta dos dados empregada: abordagem participativa, realizada em dois encontros: registro audiovisual no formato de entrevista, e, no segundo, validação dos resultados, além de inserir conteúdos solicitados pelos entrevistados. Os resultados apontam para a vinculação orgânica entre as práticas produtivas e os modos de significação, constituindo caminhos contracoloniais para pensar o futuro, tanto para a produção de ideias quanto de alimentos.
Mulheres Indígenas em Comunicação
Authors: Esteves Lorena Cruz , Gentil Cal Danila
Published: December 2024

Este artigo propõe a compreensão dos sentidos produzidos por mulheres indígenas, com relação aos seus processos de resistência, frente à crise humanitária, agravada com as crises política e sanitária, entre 2019 a 2022. Compõe  o corpus da pesquisa cinco lives do Acampamento Terra Livre (ATL), além da rodadas de diálogo realizadas com quatro mulheres indígenas que participaram do ATL. As lentes de análise foram: o Feminismo Decolonial; a Interseccionalidade e a Teoria Decolonial; Epistemologias não hegemônicas que lançam luz; Críticas e modos outros de compreender os fenômenos sociais. A metodologia propõe: desengajamento epistemológico e o reconhecimento de outros saberes subalternizados. Conclui-se que os processos de resistência dessas mulheres são inerentemente interseccionais e estão no âmbito de um movimento declaradamente decolonial, em defesa do sagrado Território-Corpo-Espírito.
“Branco sai, preto fica”
Authors: Nascimento Renata , Messias José
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo faz uma crítica da ideia de meritocracia e das hierarquias cognitivas modernas que a sustentam por meio do conceito de cosmopolíticas da racialidade, a partir de uma discussão sobre a intensa visibilidade da negritude e da invisibilidade do privilégio branco como política identitária. Localizadas no eixo da colonialidade do poder (Quijano, 2005), as questões aqui expostas no campo da educação e do saber visam propor e/ou recuperar programas de intervenção ontoepistemológica que, identificando a agência do que Sueli Carneiro chamou de dispositivo de racialidade (2005), acionam pontos de ruptura próprias da condição racializada.
Decolonizar a palavra, a imagem e o fazer comunicacional
Authors: Quintero Dina Tatiana , Zanforlin Sofia
Published: December 2024

O artigo analisa a Ororubá Filmes, coletivo audiovisual da etnia Xucuru do Ororubá, no estado de Pernambuco, advogando a noção de comunicação perspectivada. O ponto de partida para a pesquisa situa-se nos processos relacionados à comunicação realizada pela Ororubá e o que ela gera à comunidade. Trabalha-se a partir da perspectiva das epistemologias do sul (Quijano, 1992; Torrico, 2019), bem como a  comunicação comunitária brasileira (Peruzzo, 2009; Paiva, 2019). A metodologia adotada parte da etnografia e relaciona técnicas de observação participativa a entrevistas. Como apontamento da pesquisa, observa-se a necessidade de decolonizar a palavra, a imagem e o processo do fazer comunicacional, espelhando-nos no trabalho comunitário realizado pelos povos que praticam a etnocomunicação.
Autodefinição contra o terrorismo cis heterossexista:
Authors: Elias Cardoso Pereira Pedro Augusto , Ferreira Coêlho Tamires
Published: December 2024

Este artigo reúne elaborações teórico-metodológicas para analisar processos de saída do armário de bichas pretas no Projeto Guardei no Armário. Com base em uma perspectiva interseccional (Collins, 2016; 2017; 2019), partimos de um olhar bicha, um universo subjetivo viado, para as narrativas autobiográficas reunidas e compartilhadas, a partir da operacionalização analítica do conceito de autodefinição e de sua relação com outras referências. A escrevivência bicha, como fruto de uma subjetividade resistente (Lugones, 2019), se inscreve no âmbito infrapolítico, desafia as imagens controladoras cis heteronormativas e exige outras construções epistemológicas para discussão de sua existência política (corporal, discursiva, performativa) no campo comunicacional.
As várias dimensões de implicabilidade: Entrevista com Denise Ferreira da Silva
Authors: Belo Pollyane
Published: December 2024

Nesta entrevista, a professora do Departamento de Espanhol e Português da Universidade de Nova York, Denise Ferreira da Silva, oferece contribuições generativas para o deslocamento epistêmico a partir de reflexões sobre colonialidade e racialidade. Entre os temas abordados, a filósofa e artista discute como a figura da "corpo cativa ferida na cena da subjugação" desvela o capital global como uma arquitetura política e gramática ética, figura que a acompanha em sua crítica à interseccionalidade. Ela também analisa o cenário nacional, refletindo sobre a instrumentalização da mulher não-branca para o velado projeto eugenista brasileiro contido na ideia de “democracia racial”. Por fim, Ferreira da Silva propõe uma visão radical de comunalidade e reflete sobre os limites da imaginação na construção de um novo projeto político e filosófico.
A vitória da oralidade nas histórias de Mãe Beata de Yemonjá
Authors: Lago Andréia
Published: December 2024

Esta resenha aborda os contos escritos pela Ialorixá Mãe Beata de Yemonjá reunidos na obra Caroço de Dendê: a sabedoria dos terreiros, em sua terceira edição pela editora Pallas. O livro resgata a tradição oral dos povos africanos por meio de histórias contadas e recontadas no cotidiano mítico dos terreiros de candomblé. Nos 43 contos reunidos na obra, a autora recupera histórias ouvidas na infância, passada entre ex-escravizados e seus descendentes nos engenhos do Recôncavo Baiano. Em contos breves, numa linguagem que lembra fábulas infantis, Mãe Beata liberta dos limites físicos dessas comunidades um mundo de saberes, memórias, mitos e valores que dialogam diretamente com a cultura dos afro-brasileiros e das religiões de matriz africana.
