Análise de um objeto editorial como possibilidade de resistência aos discursos de ódio e de enfrentamento à desinformação
Authors: Gomes Mayara Victor , Gatti Marcio Antonio
Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a publicação do livro KIT GAY: Atividades lúdicas para toda a família!, de Kael Vitorelo, em relação às desinformações contra o projeto Escola Sem Homofobia (ESH), iniciadas, em 2004, pela Frente Parlamentar Evangélica (FPE) e retomadas, em 2018, pelo então candidato à presidência Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Diante do recente cenário brasileiro, que se apresenta saturado de conflitos entre movimentos sociais progressistas e conservadores, especialmente quanto às pautas identitárias referentes ao gênero e à sexualidade, buscamos verificar se a publicação constitui uma forma de resistência aos discursos de ódio contra as pessoas LGBT+. A hipótese é a de que o livro é uma tentativa de reversão de estigma. Para tanto, mobilizamos o arcabouço teórico da Análise do Discurso francesa (AD), sobretudo as contribuições de Maingueneau (2008) e de Krieg-Planque (2010, 2018). Tratamos o discurso presente no objeto editorial em questão, considerando que ele é composto também por outros dizeres e faz referências a já-ditos e ao outro (aquele discurso com o qual entra em disputa). Construímos, portanto um espaço discursivo que associa o discurso de Bolsonaro e seus apoiadores da FPE e o discurso presente na obra. Verificamos que a resistência aos discursos de ódio se dá por meio do apelo ao humor e à ironia, e que a aparência de almanaque dada ao livro é uma evidência de como o discurso de resistência traduz o outro com as lentes da irreverência para prová-lo como absurdo. Encontramos, portanto, uma polêmica que sobrevive no meio digital há mais de 18 anos, e passou a figurar no meio impresso e isso é significativo para começarmos a pensar a materialidade na qual os discursos de resistência de materializam na contemporaneidade.
auto do burro: dramaticidade em “O burrinho pedrês”, de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Motta Lucas Branco de Araujo
Published: November 2024

O artigo tem como objetivo a análise da dramaticidade no conto “O Burrinho Pedrês”, de João Guimarães Rosa, publicado em Sagarana (1946). Em resposta a José Condé, Rosa (1946) afirmara sobre a narrativa ser uma espécie de “peça não-profana”. O presente trabalho objetiva análise de tal categorização à narrativa, como evidenciar os traços formais que a validem ou não. Subjacente, retomamos aqui as questões relativas à ideia de uma constante tensão e resistência entre um “senso de épico” e uma “vontade de individuação” (Motta, 2022; 2023).
Poesia de posse contra a propriedade: os ready-mades de Oswald de Andrade e Blaise Cendrars
Authors: Araujo Natalia Bisio de
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os diálogos entre as obras de Oswald de Andrade e Blaise Cendrars por meio do recurso da colagem e do ready-made, partindo do método vanguardista até a versão Antropofágica. Sabe-se que a primeira fase do Modernismo brasileiro foi marcada pela articulação com as correntes das Vanguardas Europeias. Em tal contexto, avaliaremos a hipótese de que Oswald de Andrade tenha “deglutido” a estética de Blaise Cendrars, criando um elo de ligação entre as tendências estrangeiras e o projeto artístico modernista. Para a análise comparada das relações estéticas entre o poeta brasileiro e o vanguardista, consideraremos as obras Documentaires, Feuilles de Route, Dix-neuf poèmes élastiques e Pau-Brasil. Como embasamento teórico, serão considerados os estudos sobre a estética vanguardista e modernista.
Bios-grafias das mil rosas roubadas: uma leitura crítica biográfica da juventude em Silviano Santiago
Authors: Nogueira Indayá de Souza , Nolasco Edgar Cézar
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo objetiva explanar uma leitura da obra Mil rosas roubadas (2014) a partir do conceito de grafias-de-vida (Santiago, 2020) e da epistemologia crítica biográfica (Souza, 2002). No livro Fisiologia da Composição, publicado em 2019 pelo crítico Silviano Santiago, a dita “relação homológica” entre o corpo do autor e a escrita na literatura é trazida à luz pelo conceito de grafias-de-vida, dessa concepção,a literatura é um processo composicional no qual o corpo se inscreve em forma de vocábulo. Sendo assim, a leitura da obra Mil rosas roubadas (2014) realizada neste artigo, guiou-se pelo conceito de grafias-de-vida, relacionando a obra com a juventude do autor e evidenciando as grafias por nós encontradas. Para tanto, usaremos como aparato teórico o livro Fisiologia da Composição (2019) e o ensaio “MIL ROSAS ROUBADAS: a metáfora de (re)contar uma vida”, dos pensadores Pedro Henrique Alves de Medeiros e Edgar Cézar Nolasco, para conceituar as grafias-de-vida, ademais, nos valemos das proposições do próprio romance para traçar a relação entre vida, corpo e inscrição. Por fim, nossa reflexão se baseia em uma epistemologia crítica biográfica (Souza, 2002) que marca nosso pensamento em relação à natureza compósita da literatura de Silviano. Espera-se, portanto, evidenciar a relação entre corpo e literatura constatadas por Silviano Santiago no conceito de grafias-de-vida, além de apresentar a relação entre a inscrita biográfica na obra Mil rosas roubadas (2014) e a juventude do autor.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremity. Strong evidence supports operative treatment, in motor forms, regardless of technique, as superior to nonoperative treatment. Severity of motor forms of CTS depend of clinicals, and Electroneuromyography aspects. According to ENMG aspects, therapeutics decisions are difficults. Hook grip strength could early diagnosed decreasy strenght, and classified patients. Objectives: Our study aim to determine strenght grip characteristics in differents class of severity in CTS. Patients and Methods: We conducted a multicenter study including patients with unilateral CTS, on two phases. Weren’t included, patients with bilateral CTS and pre-existing functional limitations of upper limb. We classed patients in 3 groups of severity according to motor ENMG results. Hook grip strength measured in all patients by a dynamometer with a maximum strenght of 90 kg on both sides and Functional capacity evaluated by Functional dimension of Boston Crapal Tunel Questionary (FBCTQ). We classes strenght grip on three groups of severity according to differences of both sides. Results: We collected 33 patients. Median age was 48,33 ± 11,67 years. Sex-ratio was 0,27. CTS was severe in 54. 5% of patients. Grip strenght decreased in 81.8% of patients. Minor reduced grip strenght interested 45.5% of patients. FBCTQ score is less than 2/5 in 64% of patients. Functional prognosis factor in CTS were FBCTQS (P= 0.035), trans-carpal Tunel Velocity (p=0,025). Conclusion: Therapeutics decisions in CTS must include evaluation of Hook Grip strength and FBCTQS.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Acquiring knowledge about the association between musculoskeletal pain and psychological symptoms among Malaysia’s multi-ethnic older population could facilitate the development of efficacious preventive and therapeutic strategies for this vulnerable group. Hence, this study aimed to examine the association between musculoskeletal pain, psychological symptoms, and pain interference among community-dwelling older adults in Malaysia. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 106 community-dwelling older adults attending a primary care clinic in Cheras, Malaysia. Brief Pain Inventory Short-Form (BPI-SF) and General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) questionnaires were used to measure musculoskeletal pain characteristics and determine the presence of psychological symptoms, respectively. Logistic regression analyses examined the association between musculoskeletal pain characteristics, psychological symptoms, and pain interference. Results: Participants’ mean (SD) age was 68.0 (6.3) years, and there was an almost equal gender distribution, with the majority being of the Chinese (64.2%) ethnic group. About 78.3% of older adults experienced musculoskeletal pain disorders, with knees (31.2%), lower back (22.1%), and shoulders (18.2%) being the most commonly affected. Around 53.7% reported pain in multiple body sites, and 47.2% stated that their pain disorders interfered with daily activities. Furthermore, 83.0% had depression symptoms based on the GHQ-28 assessment. The logistic regression analysis indicated that stairs use at home, regular exercise, and pain intensity were significantly associated with pain interference. Conclusion: Musculoskeletal pain is prevalent and is associated with psychological symptoms among older adults. Therefore, effective treatment strategies for musculoskeletal issues should be based on a biopsychosocial approach to alleviate the impact on daily activities in older adults.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Cervical cancer continue to be a leading cause of cancer-related death for women. The current anticancer drugs remain inefficient due to the lack of specificity to inhibit the cancer cells growth. Plant-based drugs with potent anticancer should add to the efforts in finding drugs with lesser side effects but great potential to increase survival. Hence, this study sought to determine the tumour growth inhibition of standardized fraction (SF1) from Clinacanthus nutans as a potential alternative treatment for cervical cancer. Methods: SF1 was isolated from a series of bioassay-guided fractionation of C.nutans leaves. Female nude mice were xenografted with human cervical cancer cell line, SiHa, subcutaneously. When the tumour volume reached 100mm3, SF1 was intraperitoneally injected once daily for 28 days. Body weight and tumour volume were recorded every 3 days. Tumour and liver were fixed for hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry using caspase-3 antibody. Blood was collected by cardiac puncture for assessment of liver enzymes level, AST and ALT. Results: SF1 has a great tumour inhibition with more than 50% inhibition rate compared to the negative control group (DMSO). ALT and AST levels in SF1-treated mice were maintained in normal ranges compared to the positive control group, cisplatin indicating no sign of toxicities. SF1-treated group revealed no indication of liver toxicity. The number of tumour mitosis was reduced and caspase-3, a critical mediator of apoptosis was overexpressed in SF1-treated group. Conclusion: SF1 demonstrated potent anticancer activity by inhibiting the tumour growth with less toxic effects, suggesting a promising candidate for preventing cancer progression.

The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected higher education and cultural sector, including libraries. The majority of the libraries in Mongolia were physically closed for patrons. Librarians were suddenly tasked moving from in‑person service into online and the Covid-19 pandemic affects policies, strategies, activities, behaviors itself and the library’s future development strategy was not taking into account the effect of Covid-19. The aim of this paper is to explore how Mongolian libraries satisfy the need of their patrons in unexpected situation, such as Covid-19-induced transition to adapt to keep afloat, to identify the main issues that have arisen and make recommendations for the betterment of libraries’ role in such situations. To be more specific, we address the following research questions: To what extend the Covid-19 affected the library daily activities? Do the library service style, perspectives, strategies, patrons and librarian attitudes change in the future? To address the research questions a quantitative and qualitative content analysis approach was used on a dataset created from questionnaire survey and interviews from librarians and patrons. We studied whether the library could response patrons’ needs, the staff is fully paid or not, printed and e-book usage, internal and external online databases, positive and negative impacts of Covid-19 and other library services during pandemic period and compared them to the indicators with pre-Covid-19 period.
The Medimare Communication Project and Strategy
Authors: Donato Roberta Mourão
Published: November 2024

The novel nature of university degree studies in criminology in Spain and Europe causes greater ignorance about what it is, and what functions this new science fulfils or can fulfil, especially among parents, schoolteachers, and high school students. Starting from this need, we proposed a project to promote the degree in criminology. The objective of this project was to involve the students of the degree in criminology so that they could disseminate in secondary education centres their experience and, essentially, the knowledge acquired and possible professional opportunities of criminology graduates. The students designed a series of recreational activities to disseminate the content and scope of criminology. Through gamification, different goals were achieved: acquiring basic knowledge of criminological content, promoting active participation, community ‑based learning, while confirming the importance of criminology for society, as well as its autonomy and independence compared to other disciplines such as criminal law or criminalistics.
Translating Legalese: Communicating Legal Insights for Public Understanding
Authors: Chediek Juliana
Published: November 2024

Communicating legal research to non ‑specialist audiences is a valuable way of disseminating the results carried out in academia. Indeed, the dissemination of science plays important roles bridging the gap between legal research and general public, taking legal information to lay audiences (such as citizens and the community in general). Operators of the legal sciences should therefore endeavour to develop science communication strategies in parallel with their research, helping strengthen science so that it can fulfil its real role. Starting from these premises, the paper will first address the importance of communicating legal research to non ‑specialist stakeholders based on the study cases on wildland fires and energy communities. Secondly, using the inductive method, the work will analyse different strategies for reaching these audiences and delivering the message in the most effective way. By presenting these conclusions, the paper aims to contribute to communication in legal science.

Authors: Santos Niedja de Andrade e Silva Forte dos , Gullo Marcelly Fuzaro
Published: November 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy of stakeholders in legal research communication, shedding light on the diverse roles they play in the dissemination of legal research and knowledge. Stakeholders are categorized into four distinct groups – (1) legal research producers, (2) enablers, (3) policy and judicial decision ‑makers and (4) recipients and implementers. The methodology employed involves a comprehensive literature review and direct observation, since the authors are legal researchers engaged in legal research communication. By emphasizing the theoretical underpinnings of stakeholders’ involvement in legal research communication, this research aims to enrich the understanding of the dynamics that underlie effective knowledge dissemination in the field of legal studies. Through this taxonomy, legal scholars, social science scholars and practitioners can gain deeper insights into how to engage and collaborate with stakeholders to enhance the dissemination and societal relevance of legal research.
TEACHING COMPUTATIONAL THINKING IN LEARNING COMMUNITY: A CASE STUDY OF SOLKAN PRIMARY SCHOOL
Authors: Stožir Curk Barbara
Published: November 2024

Slovene kindergartens and schools have introduced a learning community where teachers learn from and with each other, acquire knowledge, and strengthen students' skills. The success of such connections depends on shared values, attitudes, beliefs, and supportive mutual relationships. Teachers are essential when Slovene school participates in development projects B-RIN, aimed at introducing fundamental computer science and informatics content and computational thinking into kindergarten groups and school classes. When selecting members of the development team, the participants were guided by the criterion that the selected educators and teachers are open to exploring their teaching practices, capable of continuously upgrading and evaluating their pedagogical work, and developing and improving their teaching approaches based on the study of their practice, emphasizing student-centred approaches. The purpose of this contribution is to highlight the implicit theories and attitudes of the development team and school staff regarding the understanding and importance of introducing fundamental B-RIN content and computational thinking into teaching, not only in the STEM field but also in other subject areas, and to present the approaches with which participants have influenced the implicit theories and attitudes of teachers and educators within our VI organization. This is also because training students in computational thinking and fundamental computer science and informatics content significantly impacts the development of metacognitive strategies, such as problem-solving skills, especially for open-ended problems, self-regulation learning skills, perseverance in facing failure, consequently greater resilience, and encouraging creativity. Therefore, it also broadly impacts the mental health of students.

The desire to control fertility has existed since ancient times, with contraceptives being used in various forms for thousands of years. In the 20th century, modern family planning became widely accessible to all segments of the population. This study aimed to assess factors influencing contraceptive use among women of childbearing age in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using multi-stage sampling technique to select five communities within the Ilorin metropolis. Data were collected through a pretested, validated questionnaire, and subjected to analysis employing fundamental statistical methods, including frequencies, percentages and chi-square analysis. A significance level of p=<0.05 was selected. Contraceptive usage was widespread, with almost 65% having practiced contraceptive use, and 48.3% favoring temporary methods. The usage of contraceptive use by respondents predominantly occurred between the ages of 15-49, and majority over 60% were current users. Media served as the primary source of information on modern contraceptives, while 87% of respondents demonstrated correct knowledge of the term. Factors affecting utilization of contraceptives among respondents includes lack of sufficient knowledge (31.9%), while 28.6% find health providers unfriendly. Additionally, 23.8% reported spousal disapproval as barrier and 21.2% have faced difficulties with birth control. Furthermore, 19.4% lack access to family planning services, 16.8% fear side effects, 12.8% face financial barriers, 11.4% are restricted by cultural beliefs and 8.8% have religious objections. The study also revealed significant socio-demographic influences on contraceptive use. Age (p = 0.0206), religion (p = 0.0065), tribe (p = 0.0007), marital status (p = 0.0001), education (p = 0.0004), and occupation (p = 0.0317) were all significantly associated with contraceptive use.

Violencia de Género y cambio social
Authors: Galán Rello Daniel , Rodríguez Valladolid Natalia
Published: November 2024

La violencia de género, una manifestación arraigada en la discriminación y la desigualdad, se ha erigido como una de las principales preocupaciones a nivel mundial en las últimas décadas. Trasciende lo individual, revelándose como un fenómeno profundamente arraigado en las estructuras sociales y culturales. El cambio social, entendido como la transformación de normas, instituciones y relaciones de poder, resulta fundamental para comprender y combatir la violencia machista. En el caso de España, se ha evidenciado un notable avance en el reconocimiento social y político de esta problemática, que antes era relegada al ámbito privado. Este cambio de paradigma refleja una evolución en las estructuras de pensamiento y en la conciencia colectiva. No obstante, a pesar de los avances legislativos y de las políticas públicas implementadas, persisten desafíos significativos. Entre los retos pendientes destacan la necesidad de fortalecer las medidas educativas y de sensibilización, tanto en el ámbito escolar como en la sociedad en general. Asimismo, es imperativo garantizar una atención integral a las víctimas, que incluya no solo el apoyo psicológico y legal, sino también la protección social y económica. Si bien las denuncias de violencia de género han aumentado, lo que refleja una mayor conciencia y disposición a denunciar, la problemática sigue siendo compleja y multifactorial, requiriendo una respuesta coordinada y sostenida por parte de todas las instituciones y de la sociedad en su conjunto.

Published: November 2024

Abstract: In this study, maintenance strategies in an oil and gas production facility were optimized to minimize maintenance costs. The centrifugal pump system in Port Harcourt Refinery was selected for this study because it significantly impacts on the productivity of the refining plant. The pump system’s failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) were examined, and an optimized maintenance task was developed for the system. The exponential reliability method was employed to analyse the pump’s failure data to determine the pump systems' failure rate and reliability while reliability centred maintenance (RCM) and linear programming (LP) model were employed to optimize the pump’s maintenance strategies and the pump’s maintenance labour force respectively.  Broad-based results of the optimized maintenance strategies consisted of on-condition-directed (CD) maintenance, preventive maintenance (PreM), and Proactive maintenance (ProM) strategies to be carried out monthly. The optimized maintenance labour force result revealed that approximately three engineers and two technicians should be employed for the pump’s maintenance task with a minimum of N2, 585, 700 as cost of salaries for the labour force monthly as against the current maintenance labour force requiring fourteen engineers and thirteen technicians monthly. The results showed that the labour cost decreased from N180,000,000 per year to N31,028,400 per year (approximately 82.76% reduction) using the proposed optimized maintenance task compared to the current maintenance plan. Conclusion and recommendation were made that the maintenance optimization technique presented in this work should be adopted by the oil and gas processing and production companies in order to minimize maintenance cost.

In detail, this research was performed in Southeast Minahasa Regency and site samples were purposively selected, where Belang District and East Tombatu District had the largest beef cattle populations, such as 888 and 678 cattle, respectively. Of 106 youth, 37 youth farming cattle and 69 youth not farming as well as aged 16-30 years were randomly selected as a sample of respondents from 265 youth faming cattle and not farming cattle using the formulation from Slovin. Data analysis used a multiple linear regression model, where variable of youth interest in beef cattle farming and the influencing variables were measured using a one to three-tiered Likert scale. The results of the research display that youth interest in farming beef cattle in Southeast Minahasa Regency, Indonesia was influenced by socio-economic factors, such as perceptions of income, communal environment, social status, and agricultural land availability for feed. Meanwhile, familial environment factor did not have a significant impact on youth interest in beef cattle farming. Therefore, these factors required consideration by policy makers in the research site so that youth conducting cattle farming gained knowledge related to profitable methods to farm beef cattle with minimal costs, while youth having not farmed cattle were assisted with beef cattle seeds to start their business and it is followed by facilitation to prevent cattle misuse by young farmers.

Um dos grandes desafios para o Direito Penal é não apenas penalizar como também ressocializar o serial killer. Caracterizado como pessoas que cometem homicídios em série, esses indivíduos possuem a particularidade de não serem em sua grande maioria capazes de se ressocializarem e de não cometerem mais crimes. Este estudo teve a finalidade de abordar a classificação, conceito, legislação e informações a respeito dos seriais killers. Com isso, analisou-se o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro e seu tratamento dirigido aos assassinos em série, a imputabilidade conforme o panorama da aplicação penal e processual penal, sua repercussão, as possíveis melhorias que a legislação vigente poderia realizar a fim de se tornar mais eficaz para lidar com casos relacionados a esses indivíduos. No campo metodológico, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica, com fundamento em artigos científicos, livros, periódicos, jurisprudência e na legislação atual sobre o respectivo tema. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de banco de dados tais como Scielo, Google Acadêmico, dentre outros, no período de 2019 a 2024. Nos resultados, ficou claro observar uma lacuna jurídica a respeito do tratamento jurídico dado aos serial killers. A ausência de normas específicas sobre o combate, monitoramento e tratamento de casos de serial killers pode deixar a sociedade mais vulnerável a esses crimes de várias maneiras. A falta de uma regulamentação clara dificulta a prevenção, a detecção e a punição efetiva desses criminosos, além de afetar o apoio às vítimas e suas famílias.

O crescimento das redes sociais no Brasil, aliado à crescente relevância dos influenciadores digitais, intensificou a pressão estética que jovens e adolescentes enfrentam. Influenciadores, muitas vezes, motivados por interesses comerciais e sem conhecimento especializado, recomendam substâncias, para perda de peso, sem considerar os riscos envolvidos; o que pode resultar em consequências graves para a saúde de seus seguidores. Este trabalho baseou -se em artigos reimpressos, monografias, nas seguintes bases de dados: Biblioteca eletrônica científica online (sciELO), Google Acadêmico e por meio de uma análise qualitativa de postagens de influenciadores, os termos utilizados para obtenção dos dados seguindo os descritores em ciências da saúde são: influência da mídia, obesidade, medicamentos para emagrecer e uso indiscriminado de medicamentos para emagrecer. Pesquisas revelam um aumento preocupante no consumo de medicamentos para emagrecimento, os resultados indicam a necessidade urgente de regulamentações mais rigorosas sobre a publicidade de substâncias para emagrecimento, bem como a importância do papel do farmacêutico na promoção do uso racional desses medicamentos. Além disso, o estudo destaca a necessidade de campanhas de conscientização que visem mitigar os riscos à saúde decorrentes dessas práticas, com o objetivo de reduzir a incidência de transtornos alimentares e os possíveis danos à saúde.

O presente artigo científico visa questionar a constitucionalidade da alteração decorrente da Lei 13.964, conhecida como “Pacote Anticrime”, onde trouxe no art. 492, inciso I, alínea “e” do Código Processual Penal (CPP), uma nova prisão que será imposta em primeira instância após decisão do tribunal do júri em condenação igual ou superior a 15 (quinze) anos, do qual, por maioria dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), decidiram retirar a condição de 15 (quinze) anos, portanto será aplicada a pena imediata a todos os crimes dolosos contra a vida. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo levanta a seguinte questão: É constitucionalmente cabível o réu ser imediatamente levado para o estabelecimento prisional antes de transitado em julgado a sentença penal condenatória, apenas por ser julgo no tribunal do júri? O objetivo geral é apresentar a provável inconstitucionalidade presente na prisão automática em sede deste tribunal, enquanto o objetivo específico consiste em identificar as principais críticas doutrinárias à prisão automática; analisar decisões do STF que contradizem a nova disposição; e demonstrar o choque normativo trazido por essa mudança. Para a elaboração do presente artigo, a metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, via artigos, teses, doutrina, sites da internet, monografias, além de pesquisa documental como a legislação e a jurisprudência. Diante disso, o resultado alcançado demonstrou que a alteração responsável por trazer a prisão automática no tribunal do júri não está consoante com a Constituição Federal, com o CPP e com os entendimentos anteriores do STF.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os impactos sociais da aplicação do princípio da Reserva do Possivel na classe minoritária dos deficientes visuais no Brasil no século XXI, levando em conta que a legislação atribui ao Estado meios para que haja a inclusão dessa classe a todos os serviços e locais no âmbito social. Sendo assim, foi levantado a seguinte discriminação: Quais os impactos do Princípio da Reserva do Possível na classe minoritária de pessoas com deficiencia visual no Brasil no século XXI? Por conseguinte, em busca de soluções para o problema em questão, se terá por objetivo geral expor como a má aplicação do principio da reserva do possivel contribuiu para o aumento considerável de deficiências no acesso dessa classe aos serviços essenciais para todo ser humano, e tendo como objetivos específicos mostrar os tipos de prejuízos, e os fatores que contribuem para essas deficiências da sociedade e trazer medidas para a sua resolução. No tocante a metodologia, esta pesquisa usará a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e análise de dados estatísticos, analisandos casos ocorridos, sendo este de cunho qualitativo, onde levará a legislação pertinente ao tema. Portanto, esse artigo visa apontar as consequências que essas alegações governamentais suscitando o Princípio da Reserva do Possível tem causado na classe dos deficientes visuais, estudando também as medidas de conscientização e ações efetivas para diminuir os prejuízos, bem como a análise em legislação específica no âmbito brasileiro.

Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um estudo sobre a complexidade da memória e como ela pode influenciar no direito processual penal. Falsas memórias são lembranças que nunca ocorreram ou recordações distorcidas de fatos passados que não correspondem à realidade. O processo mnemônico é falho, reflexo de processos naturais e adaptativos do ser humano. Nessa perspectiva, ao considerar o Brasil, a pesquisa investiga a fragilidade das provas à luz do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, concentrando-se em um estudo sobre falsas memórias, cujo problema central é: quais as principais consequências das falsas memórias na justiça criminal? Nesse enquadramento, o presente estudo foi orientado com o objetivo geral de analisar quais são as espécies probatórias mais suscetíveis à influência de falsas memórias. Os objetivos específicos estão destinados a contextualizar a historicidade do surgimento das provas e da origem do estudo das falsas memórias; descrever as falsas memórias e as consequências no âmbito processual penal; a apresentar medidas que assegurem um sistema judicial eficaz no combate às falsas memórias, que protege os direitos dos cidadãos e evita condenações injustas. Esta pesquisa, de cunho explicativo e descritivo, traz um estudo de maneira qualitativa, através de pesquisas documentais e bibliográficas, artigos, e livros. Desse modo, com este trabalho, espera-se como resultado entender os prejuízos que as falsas memórias assumem na justiça, mais especificamente, no âmbito processual penal e, apresentar algumas medidas destinadas a reduzir a incidência de falsas memórias no arcabouço probatório, visando atenuar o impacto adverso dessas falhas cognitivas comuns que permeiam os processos mnemônicos, contribuindo assim para uma resolução mais eficaz dos casos penais.
Ontological Magma
Authors: Illas Edgar
Published: November 2024

Édouard Glissant undertakes a radical rethinking of ontology. The relations of creolization have key political and cultural consequences: they destabilize the Eurocentric foundations of knowledge; they affirm hybridity; they dislocate the colonial systems of power. Yet they also have another, perhaps even more consequential ambition. As Glissant says in Poetics of Relation, creolization contains an “attempt to get at Being.” Relation operates at the ontological level as a process of creation of a different constitution of being. Relation, which names the “new and original dimension allowing each person to be there and elsewhere,” the diffracted “totalité-monde,” the event by which “[t]he elementary reconstitutes itself absolutely,” brings forth an ontological autopoeisis and reframing of the world.
