Power Relations and the Philosophy of Religious Praxis in Nigeria
Authors: Akinrinde Olawale Olufemi , Lawal Musediq Olufemi , Aliu Nkechi Latifat
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Over time, arguments have been on the need to separate religion from politics in order not to render the noble objectives of both phenomena defeated. Meanwhile, the reverse has been the case and despite the fact that the Nigerian constitution proclaims Nigeria as a secular state, religion continues to cast an ominous shadow on the country’s governance and its inherent power relations. Religion has further become a tool with which people seek political power. This study, therefore, is an attempt to examine the interplay between religion and politics within the Nigerian state’s power architecture. The dimension the interplay takes, forms part of the concern of this study, so also are the political and development implications of the politicization of religion for governance in Nigeria. To achieve this, the study utilizes both primary and secondary data, whilst adopting a content-analysis approach in its analysis. Findings and analyses clearly expose the politicians’ religious intricacies in their desperation to win and maintain their grips on political power by all means, including manipulating religion for personal political ends. The implications of this, as revealed by facts, are the production of manipulative crop of leaders in governance, and creation of artificial religious crisis among adherents of different religious beliefs and faith. Tougher sanctions are recommended for criminal misuse and manipulation of religion for political ends among all cadres of the population.
New exploration on the philosophical examination of Chinese sportsmanship
Authors: Jia Peng , He Xinqi
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Chinese sportsmanship is the essence of Chinese sports and national spirit, and the soul and essence of Chinese sports. In reality, people understand the sportsmanship as a form of exercise that is detached from the spiritual level, neglecting the spiritual value comparable to physical exercise, concealing its deep spiritual connotations and placing the spirit of sports in a corner, away from the “bravery of the soul and the vitality of the body” of sports. The philosophical foundation and historical development of Chinese sports spirit have been explored and examined, aiming to understand the profound connotation and value of Chinese sports spirit. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the spirit of Chinese sports has played a special leading role in China, and has been widely recognized and affirmed by the Party Central Committee and various social classes. However, people’s understanding of it is not deep enough and is only in the preliminary research stage. In order to adapt to various needs, the in-depth exploration of the philosophical examination of Chinese sportsmanship has significant theoretical value and practical significance. The Chinese sports spirit is not only about physical exercise, but also emphasizes physical and mental harmony, both internal and external cultivation, and the pursuit of a state of physical and mental pleasure and comfort. The Chinese sports spirit is in line with traditional Chinese philosophical thoughts, such as “harmony between heaven and man” and social harmony.
“Descomemorando” o desastre no Rio Doce: táticas, performances e enquadramentos
Authors: Carlos Euzeneia , Pereira Matheus Mazzilli
Published: May 2024

Resumo: Excluídos da participação no sistema de governança do desastre no Rio Doce, movimentos sociais e organizações civis promoveram uma onda de protestos a partir de 2015. Como as táticas, performances e enquadramentos adotados nesse ciclo se relacionaram e se transformaram ao longo do tempo? De que forma as demandas por reparação foram expressas e dramatizadas publicamente nesses protestos? Para responder essas questões, aliamos o método da Análise de Eventos de Protesto (AEP) a uma análise compreensiva das performances e enquadramentos presentes em táticas extrainstitucionais reportadas pela mídia e realizadas no Espírito Santo entre 2015 e 2019, com ênfase nos meses de novembro, nos quais é “descomemorado” o aniversário do desastre. Os resultados indicam que táticas, performances e enquadramentos articulam-se e variam longitudinalmente diante da reação de autoridades e opositores no confronto político, e de acordo com os “gostos por táticas” dos atores predominantes no ciclo.

ABSTRACT: High-quality seedlings are one of the key factors in achieving high yield and precocity of blueberries. The inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance the development of seedlings in the nursery, ensuring more vigorous seedlings in a shorter time. This study evaluated the effect of inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the development of ‘PowderBlue’blueberryseedlings. The treatments were arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, in which the first factor was the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Gigaspora rosea, Glomus clarum, G. rosea + G. clarum, and a control level without mycorrhizae, while the second factor consisted of usingindole-3-butyric acid(IBA) and a control level without IBA. Semi-hardwood cuttings were planted in pots containing sterilized soil and kept in a greenhouse for 660 days. The percentage of rooted cuttings, plant height, root system length, shoot dry mass, root dry mass, total dry mass, peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activities, SPAD index, mycorrhizal efficiency and dependence, number of spores, and soil basal respiration were evaluated. Plants inoculated with G. clarum without IBA and inoculated with G. rosea with IBA showed higher dry matter and SOD and POD enzyme activities, but the use of IBA had a negative effect on the fungus. The inoculation of blueberry cuttings with G. clarummay help seedlingdevelopment, thus improving biometric and biochemical parameters. Furthermore, the plant regulator IBAwas essential in establishing the symbiosis between blueberry and the AMF G. rosea.

Published: May 2024

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar os fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos, de saúde e comportamentos de risco associados ao reconhecimento de uma Fonte Usual de Cuidados (FUC). Estudo transversal, a partir da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (2015) realizado com 100.464 adolescentes brasileiros. Realizou-se análises descritivas através do χ2 de Pearson, e a razão de prevalência (RP) através dos modelos de regressão logística no Stata 14 para cada tipo de FUC (APS, Consultório Particular, Hospital e Emergência), estratificado por sexo. O reconhecimento de uma FUC foi referido por 55,5% dos adolescentes, sendo 58,6% do sexo feminino. Na análise multivariada, as variáveis que apresentam desigualdades sociais, econômicas e de comportamento de risco demonstraram associações positivas para a FUC APS, para ambos os sexos. Para os demais tipos de FUC, as características demográficas e socioeconômicas quando associadas apresentaram associações foram negativas. Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que a APS é o serviço com maior reconhecimento dos adolescentes em condições de vulnerabilidade social. O que reforça a necessidade de consolidação da APS a fim de favorecer a atenção à saúde dos adolescentes, no estabelecimento de vínculo e na melhoria do acesso às ações de saúde.

Published: May 2024

Abstract The present study aimed to analyze the demographic, socioeconomic, and health factors and risk behaviors associated with the recognition of a Usual Source of Care (USC), according to gender. This work was a cross-sectional study, based on the National Survey of School Health (2015), conducted with 100,464 Brazilian adolescents. Descriptive analyses were performed based on Pearson’s χ2, and the prevalence ratio (PR) through logistic regression models in Stata 14 for each type of USC (Primary Health Care (PHC), Private Practice, Hospital, and Emergency), stratified by sex. Recognition of a USC was reported by 55.5% of the adolescents, 58.6% of whom were female. In the multivariate analysis, the variables that present social, economic, and risk behavior inequalities showed positive associations for USC PHC for both genders. For the other types of USC, the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics showed negative associations. The results of this study showed that PHC is the service with the highest recognition among adolescents in conditions of social vulnerability. This reinforces the need to consolidate the PHC in order to favor the health care of adolescents, establishing bonds and improving access to health actions.

Published: May 2024

Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze the serophobic content explicit in the publications published in Digital Social Networks in the context of HIV and AIDS in Brazil. This is a qualitative study of the descriptive exploratory type, based on documents. The data obtained were evaluated using the methodology of documentary analysis through Thematic Content Analysis with the aid of NVivo®12 Plus (Windows). A total of 187 codes were generated, subsequently grouped according to the semantics of the words, originating five thematic categories: #LivingWithHIV, #WeNeedtoTalkAboutIt, #WhatISSEROPHOBIA, #SerophobiaIsACrime, and #NoSerophobia. The results showed the main manifestations of HIV and AIDS-related serophobia on social networks. The shared content discussed the difficulties of living with a disease that has social dimensions; the relevance of talking and disseminating content about HIV and AIDS; the elements that make up the stigmatization process and, consequently, structure serophobia in society; the social and civil rights of people living with HIV; measures to combat serophobia in health institutions; and the implications of serophobia in the field of public health.

Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the factors associated with concurrent alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use among Brazilian schoolchildren aged 13-17. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the 2019 National School-Based Health Survey. The outcome was use of the three substances during the last 30 days. Hierarchical multiple logistic regression was carried out with independent variables grouped into four blocks: sociodemographic characteristics; family context; behavioral aspects; and stressors. Variables with p<0.05 were retained in the final model. The prevalence of concurrent substance use was 3.3%. Being male, living in the Midwest, South and Southeast, skipping school without parent permission, parents not knowing what their children do in their free time, having parents who smoke, having experienced physical aggression from parents, feeling that life is not worth living, trying drinking and illicit drugs before the age of 13, and having friends who drink alcohol, smoke and use drugs in their presence remained associated with the outcome in the final model. The findings reveal high prevalence of concurrent alcohol, cigarette and illicit drug use among adolescents and that poly use is associated with sociodemographic, family, and behavioral factors and stressors.
High-risk space-time clusters of mortality in children 5 to 14 years of age in Mato Grosso state, Brazil

Published: May 2024

Abstract The study aimed to detect high-risk areas for deaths of children and adolescents 5 to 14 years of age in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 2009 to 2020. This was an exploratory ecological study with municipalities as the units of analysis. Considering mortality data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) and demographic data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the study used multivariate statistics to identify space-time clusters of excess mortality risk in this age group. From 5 to 9 years of age, two clusters with high mortality risk were detected; the most likely located in the state’s southern mesoregion (RR: 1.6; LRT: 8,53). Among the 5 clusters detected in the 10-14-year age group, the main cluster was in the state’s northern mesoregion (RR: 2,26; LRT: 7,84). A reduction in mortality rates was observed in the younger age group and an increase in these rates in the older group. The identification of these clusters, whose analysis merits replication in other parts of Brazil, is the initial stage in the investigation of possible factors associated with morbidity and mortality in this group, still insufficiently explored, and for planning adequate interventions.

Resumo Nesta revisão, buscamos identificar lacunas e necessidades para o reconhecimento do direito das mulheres com deficiência ao exercício da maternidade. Objetivamos mapear o conhecimento referente às experiências com a maternidade dessas mulheres, ressaltando a produção de conhecimento relacionada aos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos. Realizamos uma revisão de escopo conforme o Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). A pesquisa se sustentou na: formulação da questão; identificação dos estudos relevantes; seleção dos estudos; extração de dados; separação, sumarização e relatório dos resultados. Resultados: identificamos 1.050 artigos e selecionamos 53 para análise. A separação dos temas convergentes gerou três eixos: (1) infantilização, desumanização e descrédito na experiência da maternidade; (2) capacitismo obstétrico: uma expressão da violência obstétrica; (3) justiça reprodutiva: politizar a maternidade e o cuidado. Concluímos pela urgência de considerar as mulheres com deficiência com direitos de escolhas nas questões referentes à sua saúde sexual e reprodutiva. Os profissionais de saúde precisam de educação permanente para reconhecer e garantir as necessidades como relações de interdependência para decisões e autonomia.
Digital abuse among dating partners: perspectives and experiences of adolescents from two Brazilian capitals
Authors: Deslandes Suely Ferreira , Pinto Liana Wernersbach , Souza Edinilsa Ramos de , Flach Roberta Matassoli Duran
Published: May 2024

Abstract The conceptions, values, and experiences of students from public and private high schools in two Brazilian state capitals, Vitória-ES and Campo Grande-MS, were analyzed regarding digital control and monitoring between intimate partners and the unauthorized exposure of intimate material on the Internet. Data from eight focus groups with 77 adolescents were submitted to thematic analysis, complemented by a questionnaire answered by a sample of 530 students. Most students affirmed that they do not tolerate the control/monitoring and unauthorized exposure of intimate materials but recognized that such activity is routine. They point out jealousy, insecurity, and “curiosity” as their main reasons. They detail the various dynamics of unauthorized exposure of intimate material and see it as a severe invasion of privacy and a breach of trust between partners. Their accounts suggest that such practices are gender violence. They also reveal that each platform has its cultural appropriation and that platforms used by the family, such as Facebook, cause more significant damage to the victim’s reputation.
The intertwining of discourses in the diagnostic construction of cystic fibrosis: a perspective on access and barriers
Authors: Marins Katty Anne Carvalho , Moreira Martha Cristina Nunes
Published: May 2024

Abstract The complexities referred to in the search for “accuracy” in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) point to reflections around “what is needed” in the current situation of “precision medicine”. We analyzed the discourses of 19 social actors belonging to the community of specialists in cystic fibrosis, exploring the semantic meanings of the word “precision”, and the barriers to diagnosis and innovations in therapeutics. We adopted the critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Norman Fairclough in order to achieve the discursive constructions around the integrality of care, the guarantee and equitable supply of basic social needs. Access was identified as an emic category when in the social arenas of dispute are health needs and the right to life.

Published: May 2024

Resumo O sarampo é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade na população pediátrica e pode ser prevenido com 100% de eficácia pela vacinação. No entanto, a doença permanece ativa no território brasileiro. O objetivo do artigo é avaliar a adesão da população à vacinação e a possível relação com hospitalização e mortalidade em relação ao sarampo no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico realizado a partir de dados secundários de mortalidade e internações acerca do sarampo e da cobertura vacinal contra a doença no Brasil nos anos de 2013 a 2022. O ápice de adesão ao calendário vacinal contra o sarampo se deu nos três anos que precederam a erradicação da doença no país, ocorrida em 2016. Nesse intervalo, tem-se as menores taxas de internação, com a mortalidade zerada de 2014 a 2017. Em contrapartida, verifica-se, desde então, queda na taxas de vacinação, acentuadas a partir de 2019, quando a doença reaparece no Brasil. Concomitantemente, as taxas de internação e mortalidade atingem os valores mais altos registrados. A adesão populacional ao calendário vacinal completo contra o sarampo, essencial ao controle da doença e dos óbitos relacionados, está insuficiente, o que se reflete nas taxas de internações e mortalidade.
Political uncertainty and earnings management: Evidence from Latin American countries
Authors: Passos Lineker Costa , Lucena Wenner Glaucio Lopes
Published: May 2024

Abstract Purpose: This article aims to examine whether political uncertainty affects the accounting choices of firms’ managers in the sense of practicing earnings management through discretionary accruals. Originality/value: The research is original for providing evidence on the direction of earnings management practice following periods of political uncertainty and considering emerging countries in Latin America. The study helps signal to capital market agents in those countries the impact of political uncertainty on the quality of accounting aggregates. Design/methodology/approach: The final sample comprised 352 firms (3,005 observations-year), considering the period 1998-2018. Political uncertainty was a proxy for the countries’ presidential election years. At the same time, earnings management was captured by discretionary accruals estimated according to the Jones’ model (1991) modified by Dechow et al. (2012). Multiple linear regression with estimation by System Generalized Method of Moments (Sys-GMM) guided the tests. Findings: It was found that presidential election periods are associated with managers’ decisions to increase earnings by positive discretionary accruals, allowing us to infer that political uncertainty impacts managers’ accounting choices regarding earnings management. The results proved to be robust to different test alternatives. The findings have practical implications for agents who use accounting information as an informational signal in their decisions, whether from the perspective of investors (current shareholders or potential shareholders) or the perspective of other stakeholders associated with the firm (employees, suppliers etc.).

Abstract Objective To present the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire in the Brazilian older population and its content validity. Method This is a validation study. Translation, back-translation, analysis by an expert committee, and also a pre-test with 32 older adults were conducted to assess semantic and cultural equivalence. Results The Brazilian version of the instrument maintained the categories of the original version, evaluating tasks ranging from basic to advanced, divided into eight evaluative subscales: basic functions, communication, data and file storage, internet usage, calendar, entertainment, privacy, and problem-solving and software management. Within these domains, the ease of use and experience with mobile device functions are examined. Conclusion The cross-cultural adaptation demonstrated that the evaluative instrument is a useful tool with high potential for assessing the proficiency of older adults in using mobile devices. The instrument enables the establishment of a panorama of digital competencies in the older population, facilitating the planning of digital inclusion services.

Abstract Objective To assess the prevalence of frailty and compare the variables associated with frailty in Brazilian community-dwelling older adults with hypertension using the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and the Clinical Functional Vulnerability Index-20 (IVCF-20). Methods This is a cross-sectional analytical study conducted with community-dwelling older adults with hypertension aged ≥60 years residing in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sample selection followed a probabilistic cluster sampling model. Data were collected between November 2016 and February 2017 through in-home questionnaire administration. Demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical-care variables were analyzed. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to obtain crude and adjusted prevalence ratios. Results A total of 281 older adults with hypertension participated in the study. The overall prevalence of frailty as assessed by the EFS was 31.3%, and by the IVCF-20 was 22.1%. Variables that were statistically associated with frailty in older adults with hypertension, as determined by both the EFS and IVCF-20 simultaneously, were: advanced age (80 years or older), comorbidities such as rheumatoid arthritis/osteoarthritis, stroke, negative self-perception of health, falls, and hospitalizations in the last 12 months. Only by the EFS, variables associated with frailty included less than 4 years of education, absence of religious practice, and lack of personal income. Meanwhile, according to the IVCF-20, only monthly family income was associated with frailty. Conclusion It was found that frailty assessed by EFS and IVCF-20 exhibits similarity; however, EFS is more sensitive. These findings underscore the imperative for healthcare professionals to early identify frailty.

Abstract Objective To validate the criterion and construct of the Morse Fall Scale - Brazilian version (MFS-B) for institutionalized older adults. Method Methodological validation study nested within a longitudinal study. The research was conducted in two Homes for the Aged (ILPIs), involving 172 older individuals. Data were collected through direct assessment of the older adult and chart data. Analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics including ROC curve, sensitivity, specificity, Pearson correlation, and Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results The best estimate for predicting falls was at the cutoff point of 45 points on the MFS-B for institutionalized older adults, with a sensitivity of 93.3% and specificity of 58.9%. When analyzing the reliability of the MFS-B with the exclusion of the item "intravenous therapy/saline or heparin flush catheter" – "IV therapy/SHFC” reliability improved (α≥0.700), and this exclusion was also supported by Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Conclusions The results indicate a good predictive ability of the MFS-B for institutionalized older adults, with improved accuracy when excluding the item "IV therapy/SHFC". These findings supported the adaptation of the MFS-B to five assessment items, referred to as MFS-B/ ILPI.
Social participation and mobility justice in Brazil
Authors: Barata Aline Fernandes
Published: May 2024

Abstract In the pursuit of more sustainable and just mobilities, academic debates have regarded public participation as a fundamental component in transport and mobility planning. However, little has been discussed about the role of participation in mobility justice in the Global South, where mobilities are not always fair and inclusive. Against this backdrop, this paper adopts an innovative theoretical and methodological framework to investigate the practices, dynamics, and significance of participation within and outside state-led mobility planning in Brazil. The findings from Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre provide evidence of a range of spaces for participation and their importance in combating mobility injustices in informal settlements.
Desigualdades sociais, territórios da vulnerabilidade e mobilidade urbana
Authors: Reis Eduardo Castellani Gomes dos , Véras Maura Pardini Bicudo
Published: May 2024

Resumo As transformações contemporâneas ligadas à tecnologia, ao mundo do trabalho, ao desemprego, e aos efeitos da pandemia de covid-19 no Brasil alteraram as dinâmicas territoriais. Entretanto, tais fatores apenas se acrescentaram à perversa estabilidade das desigualdades socioespaciais nas cidades brasileiras, em particular em São Paulo. As dificuldades de muitas pessoas de inserção no mercado de trabalho e de moradia, ao revelarem a segregação social vigente em uma cidade ligada aos fluxos do capitalismo global, trazem cenários de congestionamento e de dificuldades de acesso aos locais de trabalho e ao ambiente construído. Além de revelar a luta cotidiana majoritária devido à iniquidade das oportunidades e dos deslocamentos, indicam o importante papel da mobilidade urbana que pode vir a assumir protagonismo enquanto política pública.
Aplicativos de transporte e equidade: um estudo de acessibilidade em Porto Alegre/RS
Authors: Pasqual Francisco Minella , Vargas Júlio Celso Borello
Published: May 2024

Resumo A chegada dos aplicativos de transporte ao Brasil gerou preocupações quanto a seus impactos negativos na mobilidade urbana, porém havia a expectativa de um serviço complementar aos sistemas públicos e de substituição dos automóveis privados, aumentando, em tese, a acessibilidade das cidades e podendo reduzir as desigualdades na mobilidade urbana. Este estudo avaliou essa hipótese em Porto Alegre/RS, descrevendo o acesso de diferentes grupos socioeconômicos aos principais destinos da cidade por meio de um indicador de acessibilidade composto por tempo e custo monetário. Os resultados indicam que os aplicativos aumentam fortemente a desigualdade entre os estratos, especialmente em viagens frequentes. Porém, eles podem ser uma opção viável para deslocamentos ocasionais até para a população de baixa renda.
Ride-hailing apps and equity: an accessibility study in Porto Alegre/RS
Authors: Pasqual Francisco Minella , Vargas Júlio Celso Borello
Published: May 2024

Abstract The arrival of ride-hailing apps in Brazil has raised concerns about their negative impacts on urban mobility. However, it was expected that they could serve as a complement to public transport and as a substitute for private cars, theoretically improving urban accessibility and potentially reducing inequalities in urban mobility. This study assessed this hypothesis in the city of Porto Alegre/State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and described the access of different socioeconomic groups to the city's main destinations using an accessibility indicator composed of time and monetary cost. Results indicate that ride-hailing apps significantly exacerbate inequality between income groups, particularly for frequent trips. However, they can be a viable option for occasional trips even for low- -income communities.

Resumo A Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana (PNMU) prevê que cidades com mais 20.000 habitantes ou pertencentes a regiões metropolitanas ou voltadas para atividades turísticas elaborem e aprovem planos de mobilidade. Contudo, as cidades de pequeno porte possuem especificidades que dificultam o desenvolvimento desse instrumento. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as iniciativas de mobilidade implementadas no município de Conde-PB, visando à sua replicação em cidades de contexto socioeconômico semelhantes. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de caso através de pesquisa documental, no intuito de compreender o contexto de elaboração e os resultados alcançados. Como produto, esta pesquisa traz contribuições às discussões relacionadas à mobilidade sustentável nas cidades, por meio do fornecimento de referências para direcionar ações futuras.
Mobility, citizenship, and inequality: analyzing the cycling infrastructure of Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Marino Filipe Ungaro
Published: May 2024

Abstract In this paper, the concept of citizenship is related to that of urban mobility, which unfolds in bicycle mobility. To this end, the distribution of the cycling infrastructure in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is analyzed. The aim is to relate the socio-spatial distribution of the population in the territory to the available cycling infrastructure. The extension and quality of such infrastructure is investigated in two neighborhoods that are different both in territorial and social terms (Bangu and Copacabana). The results show a concentration of cycling infrastructure of greater extension and quality in Rio de Janeiro’s highest-income neighborhoods (Copacabana) and of lesser extension and quality in the periphery (Bangu), and the difference in existence, extension, and quality of Rio de Janeiro’s cycling infrastructures is related to greater or lesser citizenship.

Published: May 2024

Resumo Este trabalho buscou compreender as desigualdades de raça, gênero, renda e moradia dos usuários dos sistemas de compartilhamento de bicicleta nas cidades de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro. Uma pesquisa amostral presencial (survey) foi feita e os dados obtidos foram comparados com os dados das cidades em relação aos marcadores sociais mencionados. Os resultados mostram que os sistemas são mais acessíveis para alguns grupos, como mulheres e pessoas negras, e menos acessíveis para outros, como pessoas de baixa renda, e, apesar de estarem localizados nos centros urbanos, conseguem manter a inclusão de grupos que não moram nessa região. A partir dos resultados, foi feita uma discussão sobre a inserção desses sistemas nas cidades brasileiras.
Insurgent uses in transit architectures: actions as plan, trick, and feint
Authors: Costa Pedro Vitor , Pereira Maria Rúbia , Capillé Cauê
Published: May 2024

Abstract The traffic condition is a common phenomenon for peripheral populations of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. By forming a 'compulsory collective space', mobility infrastructures have enormous political and social potential. Certain 'insurgent' practices of groups that use the 'architectural loopholes' of these infrastructures stimulate this potential. This article analyzes some cultural, political, and economic uses connected to transit infrastructures according to three ways of designing (plan, trick, and feint) to discuss how architecture and urban planning can combine to build less unequal realities. Commercial uses around the Pavuna subway station, and political and cultural uses of Cine Taquara (BRT), Viaduto de Realengo, and Viaduto Negrão de Lima (Madureira) are analyzed.
Citizen science and the (re)discovery of walkability from a child and youth perspective
Authors: Freitas Ana Paula de Oliveira , Cardoso Leandro , D’Ávila Rogério Faria
Published: May 2024

Abstract Encouragement of walking and the use of citizen science directly influence the promotion of positive aspects for society, especially for children and adolescents. The article presents a study conducted with students from a public school, aged between 10 and 12 years, that enhances a walkability assessment tool from the perspective of the younger population. Using a participatory methodology, the study integrates pedestrian perceptions as a determining factor in the analysis of the importance of indicators. The results showed that walkability is still inadequate in the studied region and that the inclusion of the public in the research process brought benefits that go beyond the quantitative weights assigned to the index scores.
Favela: the challenge of living in the São Paulo Metropolis
Authors: Pasternak Suzana , Bógus Lucia Maria Machado
Published: May 2024

Abstract The text shows the recent evolution of the urban fabric in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo and the inequality expressed by favelas, using data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and MapBiomas. Although population growth in all sub-regions has decreased compared to previous periods, the so-called periphery still grows more than the hub. The urban structure is highly segregated, with part of the poor population living in favelas. In 2019, the metropolis had 1,703 favelas, with a population of more than 2 million inhabitants, occupying 12.26% of metropolitan households. As the population in this type of settlement grew at an annual rate of 3.44%, the result was an increase in the number of favelas, which poses problems for urban upgrading.
Para uma compreensão da “esperança” no surgimento do “homem do futuro” no final do Segundo Tratado da Genealogia da moral
Authors: Rubira Luis
Published: May 2024

Resumo O pensamento do eterno retorno do mesmo, embora esteja no cerne da filosofia tardia de Nietzsche, não é abordado diretamente na Genealogia da moral. Isso não significa que ele esteja ausente desta obra, e nem o poderia, pois o filósofo via na possibilidade cosmológica do retorno a nova medida de valor para uma tentativa de superação do niilismo. Realizar o exame genealógico sem levar em conta o pensamento do eterno retorno é, por conseguinte, não prestar atenção ao fato de que tal exame não se reduz ao diagnóstico e à crítica da moralidade, mas é realizado em vistas de sua superação. A questão que se coloca desde o início é, portanto, dupla: de que modo o pensamento do eterno retorno está presente na obra? E por que Nietzsche não o explorou conceitualmente? A resposta encontra-se na compreensão da “esperança” no surgimento do “homem do futuro” - mencionado no final do Segundo Tratado da Genealogia da moral.
Nada sobre nós sem nós: contribuições de Georges Canguilhem e Donald Winnicott aos estudos do campo da recuperação pessoal

Published: May 2024

Articulamos o tema da recuperação pessoal (recovery) com conceitos de saúde e doença de Georges Canguilhem e Donald Winnicott, em diálogo com registros autobiográficos de Patricia Deegan, pesquisadora e ativista do movimento do recovery. Originada na década de 1970, em movimentos sociais de usuários de Saúde Mental, a recuperação pessoal vem sendo incorporada a espaços acadêmicos, serviços e políticas, como expressa sua inclusão no Plano de Ação em Saúde Mental da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Reconhecendo sua utilidade como ferramenta conceitual e lógica de cuidado ainda pouco difundida no Brasil, buscamos contribuir com sua consolidação reafirmando que a experiência intersubjetiva é substrato fundamental para a avaliação da saúde, e considerando a dimensão psicossocial da Reforma Psiquiátrica que orienta a Política de Saúde Mental brasileira.

A presente revisão sistemática da literatura procura identificar as evidências disponíveis em relação à maneira como a sexualidade humana figura nos currículos de Graduação em Enfermagem. A busca foi realizada em publicações datadas de janeiro de 2013 a setembro de 2022. Com abordagem qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, após a análise, em face dos elementos comuns observados, foram criadas cinco categorias de conteúdo: formas de abordagem; conteúdo; construção coletiva do currículo; cultura cis-heteronormativa e seus reflexos; e propostas de intervenção. Tais categorias foram descritas e, por meio delas, se tornou possível traçar um panorama que indica os principais resultados de pesquisas produzidas com foco no escopo proposto.

O acidente de trabalho com material biológico de profissionais de saúde em serviços especializados em HIV/Aids é uma demanda complexa. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender as vivências pós-acidente com material biológico por profissionais de saúde que trabalham em um serviço especializado em HIV/Aids. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com sete profissionais de saúde que atuam nesse contexto, abordando as vivências dessa experiência por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os discursos foram categorizados pelo método de análise de conteúdo temática. Foram observados sentimentos de medo da infecção e do estigma perante o ocorrido. Demonstrou-se o impacto dessa experiência nas relações familiares, sociais e profissionais, além do insuficiente acolhimento e apoio emocional no serviço onde trabalhavam e foram atendidos. Evidencia-se a necessidade de repensar protocolos e processos de cuidado desses profissionais mediante a Educação Permanente, considerando a complexidade de suas vivências diante do acidente.

Estudos sobre a formação em Práticas Integrativas e Complementares têm se concentrado na análise curricular dos cursos da Saúde e as pesquisas abrangendo as percepções dos profissionais a respeito dos processos formativos devem ser mais elucidadas. O estudo objetiva identificar os processos de formação e capacitação dos profissionais ofertantes de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial de uma região metropolitana. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa. Realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com 45 profissionais, as quais foram posteriormente analisadas segundo a Análise de Conteúdo Temática. As pós-graduações, graduação, formações em serviço e o ensino privado foram as trajetórias adotadas pelos profissionais, revelando a existência de uma formação difusa para a oferta no cenário investigado. Esses resultados podem subsidiar o planejamento de estratégias educacionais para a ordenação dos recursos humanos em Práticas Integrativas e Complementares.

ABSTRACT The prospects for reducing organic load in water basins must be evaluated considering the self-purification capacities of the water bodies into which the raw or treated effluent will be discharged. The aim of this work was to evaluate the reduction of the organic load contribution to the Poti River, a watercourse that crosses the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, considering different conditions for the final disposal of domestic sewage. To estimate the levels of reduction of the organic load contribution, the Water Quality Model Qual-UFMG and Nonlinear Programming were used in a combined manner. Three scenarios of final effluent disposal were modeled. For the appropriation of the reductions in organic load contributions, two different optimization models were used, models that incorporated restrictions based on the environmental quality standards indicated by the Brazilian Environment Council (CONAMA) Resolutions No. 357/2005 and 430/2011. The results indicated that the estimated effort for removal of organic load based on the optimization model that does not employ an equity measure among discharges was lower, regardless of the scenario analyzed. Additionally, in the simulation scenarios in which the quality standards for effluent were not considered, the efforts for removing organic load were lower, regardless of the optimization model used.

The mussel Perna viridis, commonly known as the green mussel, is native from the Indo-Pacific region and has been introduced in various sites around the globe. In Brazil, the species has already been recorded in Rio de Janeiro and Ceará states. With the aim of assessing the presence of mussels in the southern region of the country, 14 individuals were collected in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex, Paraná. The mussels were found attached at a depth of 2 meters on the artificial structure of Ponta do Poço Marina. The DNA was extracted using a commercial kit, the COI gene was amplified through PCR by the primers forward dgLCO-1490 and reverse dgHCO-2198, sequenced by the Sanger method, assembled in CLC Genomics Workbench, and the species was identified through the BOLD Systems. The phylogenetic tree was built on MEGA11 using 28 sequences from three species within the genus Perna. Therefore, the present study represents the first to confirm the occurrence of the exotic species Perna viridis in Brazil through molecular identification and characterizes the third Brazilian state where the mollusk has been recorded. This indicates that Brazilian coastline provides optimal environmental conditions for the establishment and development of the P. viridis
