Abstract: In soybean crops, industrial seed treatment is widely adopted, and it has allowed the development of new technologies, such as the use of dry powders. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of the industrial treatment, with and without the additional application of dry powder, on the physiological potential of soybean seeds. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 4×2 factorial scheme, with four replications. Four chemical treatments were evaluated: 1) control, 2) carbendazim + thiram + thiamethoxam, 3) carbendazim + thiram, 4) thiamethoxam. Each trial was divided into one group that was treated and the other that remained untreated with the dry powder. The cultivars BRS 360 RR and BRS 284 were used and analyzed separately. The physiological potential of the seeds was determined by the following assessments: germination, first germination count, seedling emergence in sand, seedling total length, shoot length, and root length. Soybean cultivars respond differently to seed chemical treatments, regarding the effects on physiological potential. Using the dry powder results in problems in seed germination speed in the cultivar BRS 284. In the cultivar BRS 360 RR, the use of dry powder associated with thiamethoxam treatment reduces the physiological potential of the seeds.

Physical-based time series model applied on water table depths dynamics characteristics simulation
Authors: Manzione Rodrigo Lilla
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT Time series modelling applied to study water table depths monitoring data is an elegant way to model irregular and continuous data. When successive observations are dependent, future values may be predicted from past observations, and target parameters can be estimated. These may include expected values of groundwater levels, or probabilities that critical levels are exceeded at certain times or during certain periods. These target parameters are estimated with the purpose of obtaining characteristics of the development of a certain domain in time and such characteristics can, for instance, be extrapolated to future situations. In a system identification approach, is it possible to establish the dynamic relationship between water table perturbations and climatological events, vegetation, hydrogeological local conditions, management and groundwater abstraction. The aim of this work was demonstrate the use of a physical-based time series model to stablish the relationship between precipitation and water table depths from hydrogeological monitoring data. The results enabled to infer about water table dynamics even when it is affected by different climatological patterns, simulating mean, maximum and minimum states.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of sewage discharge on the quality of the water exploited from the Sucuru River alluvial aquifer, located in the municipality of Sumé, Paraíba state, Brazil. The study was based on physical-chemical and microbiological analyses of the waters from nine wells located along the alluvium. The results of the indicators showed that the alluvial aquifer studied has the capacity to filter and disperse pollutants. It is possible to observe a gradual reduction of chlorides, chemical oxygen demand and total dissolved solids along the alluvial perimeter. Thus, urban sewage becomes a source of water recharge with potential to be reused. We concluded that the utilization of water from this type of aquifer, which has been intensified in recent dry years, can be established in a safe and sustainable way. However, a strict monitoring plan for controlling recharge groundwater levels is highly necessary. Further studies in this direction should lead to a model of adequate use of this system, which can be reproduced in the Brazilian semi-arid region.
MARX, FREUD, E OS DEUSES QUE OS NEGROS FAZEM: A TEORIA SOCIAL EUROPEIA E O FETICHE DA VIDA REAL
Authors: Matory J. Lorand
Published: July 2018

Desde o encontro entre os comerciantes africanos e europeus na Costa da Guiné no início da modernidade, o termo “fetiche” faz analogia entre supostos distúrbios do pensamento europeu e deuses africanos. Estes deuses, porém, têm uma lógica própria que dispõe de tanta razão – dada a posição de seus seguidores na economia do Atlântico – quanto as teorias de Marx e Freud, diferentes em certos aspectos mas igualmente influenciados pelo posicionamento dos seus expoentes. Esta palestra oferece uma nova perspectiva das raízes sociais destas compreensões africanas e europeias – que são simultâneas – sobre o conceito de ação coletiva, elucidando a relação da teoria social europeia com o racismo sofrido tanto por africanos quanto por judeus assimilados.
RAYMOND ARON: ENGAJAMENTO E POLÍTICA NO CONTEXTO DA SOCIEDADE INDUSTRIAL
Authors: Dias Junior Antonio Carlos
Published: July 2018

O artigo analisa o pensamento do filósofo e sociólogo francês Raymond Aron (1905-1983) no que se refere à sociedade industrial que emergiu do pós-Segunda Guerra e o cenário político-ideológico que marcou a intelectualidade francesa do período. Autor liberal engajado, Aron polarizou o debate intelectual público francês confrontando alguns dos pensadores da esquerda de sua época, tais como J. P. Sartre, M. Merleau-Ponty e L. Althusser. Partimos de sua trilogia sobre a sociedade industrial, constituída por Dix-huit leçons sur la société industrielle, La lutte de classes e Démocratie et totalitarisme, e chegamos às suas obras de intervenção L’Opium des intellectuels e D’unesaint famille à l’autre, no intuito de problematizar a maneira pela qual foram constituídas algumas das críticas de Aron àqueles autores e, por consequência, ao regime comunista.
PODER INSTITUÍDO E POTÊNCIA SUBVERSIVA: MAX WEBER E A DUPLA FACE DA DOMINAÇÃO CARISMÁTICA
Authors: Sell Carlos Eduardo
Published: July 2018

O artigo demonstra que a dominação carismática possui uma natureza bidimensional e pode ser tanto fonte de legitimidade quanto uma força de subversão da ordem política. Após revisar as fontes teológicas utilizadas por Max Weber, aponta-se que, do ponto de vista sociológico, o autor diferencia carisma puro e carisma institucionalizado. Isso permite a Weber indagar em que condições relações de poder com bases pessoais e emocionais instáveis são capazes de engendrar estruturas duradouras de dominação. No centro do seu modelo, portanto, está contida uma teoria da transformação e da institucionalização do carisma. Com esses elementos, o artigo reconstrói a teoria da revolução e a teoria da democracia plebiscitária do modelo weberiano de dominação carismática: a primeira põe relevo a dimensão da legitimidade (poder instituído), enquanto a segunda contempla o aspecto da transformação da ordem política (potência subversiva).

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma that aims to construct a new path for the output of feces or urine. The relationship of oxidative stress (OxS) markers in patients with ostomy is still poorly described. OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at investigating the changes in oxidative stress parameters in peripheral blood collected from ostomy patients when compared with a healthy control group. METHODS: It was evaluated 29 ostomy patients and 30 healthy control patients. The oxidative stress parameters evaluated were: lipid peroxidation [lipid hydroperoxide (LPO), 8-isoprostane (8-ISO) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)], protein oxidation and nitration [carbonyl and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT)] and DNA oxidation [8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG)] in serum from ostomy patients compared to health controls. RESULTS: The data showed an increase of LPO, 8-ISO, 4-HNE, 3-NT and 8-OHDG in serum collected from ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The findings support the hypothesis that ostomy triggers the oxidative stress observed in the blood collected from these patients.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Familial Mediterranean fever and celiac disease share some common clinical features such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, arthralgia and arthritis. Also, both of the diseases are associated with many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Previous studies have shown the association between familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and different clinical conditions. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the relationship between celiac disease and colchicine-resistant familial Mediterranean fever (crFMF) disease. METHODS: This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Pediatric Rheumatology from October 2015 to August 2016. A total of 24 patients with crFMF were included in the study. We used 60 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects as a control group. Levels of total IgA and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody were measured in both groups. Those with increased level of tTG IgA were tested for anti-endomysium IgA antibodies (EMA). Gastroduodenoscopy and intestinal biopsy were planned for a definite diagnosis of celiac disease in patients with positive EMA. RESULTS: Of the 24 patients in this study, 18 (75.0%) were female. Only 4 (16.6%) of 24 patients were positive for tTG IgA. Patients with positive tTG IgA were then tested for EMA IgA antibodies and none of them had a positive result. Only one (1.6%) subject from the control group was positive for tTG IgA but EMA positivity was not detected. CONCLUSION: We did not found celiac disease in 24 children with crFMF. Since crFMF disease is rarely seen in general population, further studies with more patients are needed to provide more precise interpretation.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease is a systemic inflammatory disease classified as Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis. It could present extra intestinal findings, such as fever, weight loss, arthralgia, mucocutaneous lesions, hepatic, renal and ophthalmological involvement. Among ophthalmological findings, posterior segment findings are present in less than 1% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, however, these findings could bring definitive visual impairment. OBJECTIVE: Our study objective was to evaluate ocular posterior segment findings is patients with inflammatory bowel disease, through retinal mapping, color fundus retinography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography, and compare our results to literature. METHODS: We evaluated eighty patients with inflammatory bowel disease through complete ophthalmological examination and posterior segment assessment. Color fundus retinography, OCT and OCT angiography was performed with Topcon Triton (Topcon ® , Tokyo, Japan). Macula and posterior pole were evaluated with binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and fundus biomicroscopy. RESULTS: Participants mean age was 44.16 years (18.08-68.58), 28 (35%) male patients and 52 (65%) female patients. Thirty-five (44%) with diagnosis of Crohn disease, 41 (52%) patients with diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and 3 (4%) had non-conclusive Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis classification. We found abnormal exams in 21 (26.25%) patients. CONCLUSION: Our study found similar prevalence of ophthalmological posterior segment commitment compared to previous literature prevalence. The findings were predominantly unrelated to inflammatory bowel disease, rather than primarily related to it. The most prevalent, and non-previous reported, finding was increased arteriolar tortuosity, probably occurs due to systemic vascular impairment in inflammatory bowel disease.

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT Janus kinases inhibitors have already been incorporated into the management of immune-mediated diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, and are being investigated for the treatment of psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases, both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Tofacitinib is an oral small-molecule drug that inhibits Janus kinases 1, Janus kinases 3, and, to a lesser extent, Janus kinases 2. This inhibition ends up blocking signals for several inflammatory cytokines that are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases and play a role in many immune signaling routes, including lymphocyte activation, function, and proliferation. We report a patient with active ulcerative colitis with primary non-response to three biologics (infliximab, adalimumab and vedolizumab), with different mechanisms of action, who refused surgical treatment and had a favorable response to tofacitinib with clinical and endoscopic remission. No adverse events were observed with the use of the agent. This case illustrates the difficulties we may face regarding the identification of the expression of proper mechanism of action involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis patients and the importance of having another treatment option with different mechanism of action, like tofacitinib.

ABSTRACT: Weed interference reduces the productive potential of crops. Among the control methods used, chemical ones occupy a major position. The repeated application of the same mechanism of action selects tolerant plants. Among the species that affect sugarcane, crabgrass is one of them. This study has aimed to know the tolerance of different populations of this species to herbicides inhibiting photosystem II. Three populations were collected, identified and submitted to the application of ametryn and diuron herbicides in ten different doses, and the experiment was conducted in a experimental design of complete randomized blocks with four repetitions in a factorial arrangement of 10 x 3 (10 doses x 3 populations), being one trial for each herbicide. Sixty days after application, visual control and plants shoot dry biomass were evaluated. The data were submitted to an analysis of variance by the F test and, when significant, their means were compared using the Tukey’s test. The averages related to the herbicide doses were submitted to a graphical analysis by applying a log-logistic regression where the herbicide doses required to cause 50 or 80% of injury and reduction of dry biomass of plants were calculated. The resistance factor was calculated to determine the difference in herbicide tolerance among populations. Based on the results, it was observed that the populations exhibit differential sensitivities to herbicides and the one originated in Brazilian city Ribeirão Preto was resistant to ametryn. The population originated in Brazilian city Santa Cruz das Posses was less sensitive to diuron. The RF values ranged between 1.0 and 2.34.

ABSTRACT: Searching for alternatives to deal with weeds without the exclusive use of herbicides can increase the sustainability of agricultural production in the Amazon region. This study aimed to evaluate the allelopathic potential of cover crops on the weed shrubby false buttonweed (Spermacoce verticillata L.). Three straw levels (1; 2.5 and 5 mg cm-2) of thirteen cover crops (Cajanus cajan, Canavalia ensiformis, Crotalaria juncea, C. ochroleuca, C. spectabilis, Mucuna aterrima, M. cinereum, Pennisetum glaucum, Sorghum bicolor, S. sudanense, Urochloa brizanha cv. Xaraés, U. brizantha cv. Piatã and U. ruziziensis) were assessed on germination and initial growth of weed and lettuce. We carried out two experiments (weed and lettuce) in a factorial scheme (cover crops x straw levels) with additional treatment (control without straw) in a completely randomized experimental design, with four replicates. The straw of the cover crops inhibited the germination and initial growth of the target plants. The highest straw levels promoted 44.0 and 78.8% reductions in radicle length in relation to the lowest dose (1 mg cm-2), for lettuce and Spermacoce verticillata, respectively. The highest sensitivity to allelochemicals occurred on the radicle. The major suppressive effects on weed germination were promoted by Cajanus cajan, Urochloa brizanha cv. Xaraés, Mucuna cinereum, M. aterrima, Canavalia ensiformis, Crotalaria juncea, C. spectabilis and U. ruziziensis. Cover crops use is an integrated practice management to control Spermacoce verticillata under no-tillage system.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to determine the competitive interaction of sweet sorghum cultivars BRS 506, BRS509, and BRS 511 with biotypes of Alexandergrass and wild poinsettia. The adopted experimental design was the randomized block one, with four replications. Treatments were arranged in a substitution series by proportions of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100%, corresponding to 20:0, 15:5, 10:10, 5:15 and 0:20 plant per pot of sweet sorghum (cultivars BRS 506, BRS 509 and BRS 511) withweeds (Alexander grass/wild poinsettia). The leaf area (LA) and dry matter (DM) of sweet sorghum, Alexandergrass and wild poinsettia plants were determined 50 days after emergence. Data about competitive abilities were analysed through the graphical analysis method, constructing diagrams based on yield or relative and total variations. Indices of relative competitiveness, clustering coefficient and aggressiveness were also determined; all of them were relative indices. There was competition for the same environmental resources between sweet sorghum cultivars and weeds, with mutual injury to the species involved in the community. Wild poinsettia and Alexandergrass negatively modified the LA and DM of the crop, demonstrating a greater competitive ability for the resources that are available in the environment. Wild poinsettia was less competitive than sweet sorghum cultivars, while Alexandergrass showed higher competitive ability than them. The highest losses for the LA and DM variables were observed when species were in interspecies competition rather than intraspecies competition.

ABSTRACT: Continuous and excessive use of herbicides to control various weed biotypes is posing severe threats to soil and human health. Nevertheless, the strategy of using allelopathic crop residues and water extracts for weed control seems to be a sustainable and friendly option to reduce dependence on synthetic herbicides. In addition to controlling weeds, residues of allelopathic crops positively affected soil health. A two-year field study was carried out to examine the impact of sunflower residues on soil properties, weed dynamics and productivity of mung bean. The study was comprised of five treatments viz., control, sunflower water extracts at 10 and 20 L ha-1, and sunflower residues incorporation at 4 and 6 ton ha-1. Results indicated that application of sunflower water extracts reduced weed density by 5-26% and weed dry weight by 9-31%, while sunflower residue incorporation caused 44-57% reduction in weed density and 58-70% reduction in weed dry weight compared with the control. At mung bean harvest, total nitrogen and organic matter in soil were increased by 86% and 74%, respectively, with the incorporation of sunflower residues at 6 ton ha-1 as compared with the control. In case of soil enzymes, alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase were recorded at 186 mg NP g-1 soil h-1 and 38 mg TPF g-1 soil h-1, respectively, when sunflower residue was incorporated at 6 ton ha-1. In conclusion, sunflower residue incorporation at 6 ton ha-1 improved soil health, suppressed weeds and resulted in better seed yield (36%) and profitability (339 $ ha-1) of spring-planted mung bean.

ABSTRACT Ecology of orchid species was studied, surveyed and characterized on Serra das Cabeças, a subunit of Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro (PESB), Araponga-MG, Brazil. Data were obtained through monthly visits on all trails of the area, from 2004 to 2014 covering different types of vegetation, collecting some species and identifying them. We observed characteristics such as type of vegetation, habitat where each species was found, intensity of luminosity, altitude and position of plants in relation to watercourses. Obtained results allowed to conclude: 80 species were identified, of which 45 had not been reported for PESB; five for the state of Minas Gerais, and four for Brazilian flora. Concerning habitat, 57.50% are epiphytic, 1.25% hemiepiphytic, 2.50% humic, 15.00% lithophytic and 23.75% terrestrial. Considering vegetation, 52.50% are located in upper montane forest, 1.25% understorey, 10.00% slope forest, 8.75% in transition forest to altitude field, and 27.50% in altitude field. The survey of Orchidaceae species of present study will allow updating the lists of species present in PESB and of Brazilian flora, recorded in Jardim Botânico in Rio de Janeiro State.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare four selection indexes and REML/BLUP methodology in the evaluation of predicted genetic gains of traits of interest in snap bean breeding program. We evaluated 17 selected lines, in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates, in four environments, Bom Jesus de Itapaboana-RJ, in 2011 and 2012 and Cambuci-RJ, in 2011 and 2013. The evaluated traits were pod and grain productivity, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and weight of 100 seeds. For gain prediction, the employed selection indexes were Pesek & Baker, Smith & Hazel, Mulamba & Mock, Williams and REML/BLUP methodology. Among the tested selection indexes, Mulamba & Mock was the one which showed the best gain distribution considering the tested variables, such as the higher coincidence coefficients in comparison to REML/BLUP, resulting in 62% of grain productivity and pod productivity per plant. The REML/BLUP methodology permitted to select lines with high relative performances and obtained simultaneous gains for the evaluated traits, being superior in relation to the tested selection indexes for snap bean crop.

ABSTRACT Underground water reserves in Semiarid Region present high salinity levels; however, scarcity of resource compels farmers to use this water for conventional agriculture. Biomass production and activity of the antioxidative defense system of Chinese cabbage and watercress were evaluated in plants grown under hydroponic NFT system with brackish water. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications and five water salinity levels (1.95; 3.37; 4.48; 6.82 and 7.51 dS m-1), obtained by an increasing addition of NaCl into the local water supply and nutrient salts for preparation of nutrient solution. Both watercress and Chinese cabbage plants decreased in fresh and dry shoot biomass, in relation to increase of salinity in solution, considering that these losses were marked in Chinese cabbage crop. The antioxidative defense system was activated in both evaluated species. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) increased their activity in relation to salinity increase in the solution. Watercress presented higher POD activity and was able to maintain catalase (CAT) and total phenols higher than control in most treatments, resulting in better adaptation to salt stress.
Comparison of analyses types in carrot experiment: square lattice versus randomized blocks design

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT The square lattice 4x4 design was compared to a randomized block design, for carrot F1 hybrids. Sixteen experimental carrot hybrids were evaluated in Brasília, in 2014/15 and 2015/16 agricultural years. A square lattice 4x4 design with three replications was used. The experimental plot consisted of 1.5 m2 useful area. The experimental area was installed on the second half of November 2014 and 2015. Cultural practices were the usually given to the carrot crop in Brazilian savannah region. The incidence of leaf blight was evaluated 90 days after sowing date and, after 100 days, roots were harvested and yield components evaluated. We evaluated the three possible analyses in lattice: 1) as randomized block design; 2) intrablock analysis with adjusted treatments and blocks within unadjusted repetitions; 3) analysis with recovery of interblock information with adjusted treatments. The analysis in lattice permitted to reduce the mean squares of error and coefficients of variation; moreover, these were more efficient than the randomized block design experiments for most evaluated characters. Thus, use of the analysis in lattice is preferred in experiments with carrot when evaluating large number of treatments.

ABSTRACT Financial profitability is a factor as important as quantifying production using new technologies. This study was installed to evaluate short and long term financial viability of organic production of cherry tomatoes. Plants were grown in a greenhouse under diverse technological degrees for partial control of micrometeorological elements. The experiment was carried out at the experimental field FEAGRI/UNICAMP in three greenhouses with automated mechanical ventilation systems, evaporative cooling and thermo reflective screen. We cultivated Carolina cultivar in a spacing of 0.5x0.9 m, each plant conducted with two stems, under organic production and fertilization management. The average of production data of treatments {three greenhouses (A= climate-controlled, B= mobile screen and C= fixed screen), two cultivation systems (pots and soil beds) and five biofertilizer doses (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200%)} were evaluated using joint analysis. Thus, the economic indicators {cost benefit ratio (B/C), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and Payback (PV)} were evaluated through revenues and production costs. The best alternative to net monthly cycle profitability (500 m2) was approximately 1 and 1.5 minimum wage with and without particular labor, respectively, associated with the greenhouse of medium technological level, using soil bed cultivation system. The economic viability of the project in long-term interest rates above 3% (a.a) was consistent, but the payback period even with a rate of 1% a.a was high (6.54 years) in financing conditions.

Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT The genetic divergence of melon genotypes belonging to momordica group, collected in five Brazilian States, was estimated, and the relative contribution of the morphological characters was determined for the genetic variability. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with four replicates. We evaluated 19 accessions of melon, momordica group, two accessions of cantaloupensis group and two commercial cultivars of inodorus group. These genotypes were characterized by 42 morphological descriptors. The data were submitted to Tocher and UPGMA grouping methods using the genetic dissimilarity matrix, using Mahalanobis’ distance. Singh criterion was used to identify the relative contribution of each character to the genetic divergence. Four groups of similarity were obtained in both multivariate techniques, with agreement between hierarchical UPGMA and Tocher grouping methods. The characters: pistil scar size, soluble solid content, seed length, fruit length and cotyledon length contributed with approximately 53.86% to genetic divergence among genotypes.

ABSTRACT One of the major problems in cultivation of tomato is the occurrence of pests and diseases. The objective of the research was to select genotypes from the second generation of the first backcross (F2BC1) between the tomato cultivar for processing S. lycopersicum (cv. Redenção) and the wild access S. habrochaites var. hirsutum (PI-127826), with high levels of zingiberene (ZGB), resistant to the twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae). From the F2BC1 population. The ZGB content was quantified and five plants with high zingiberene selected (RVTZ 2011-079-117, RVTZ 2011-079-185, RVTZ 2011-079-335, RVTZ 2011-079-345 and RVTZ 2011-079-503) and four with low zingiberene content (RVTZ 2011-079-417, RVTZ 2011-331-460, RVTZ 2011-079-538 and RVTZ 2011-079-548) were selected. Genotypes selected for high and low ZGB content and the parentals S. habrochaites var. hirsutum access PI-127826 and ‘Redenção’ were evaluated for repellency to the twospotted spider mite. There was a significant and inverse correlation between ZGB content and average distances travelled by mites on tomato leaflets. The genotypes of the F2BC1 generation with high zingiberene levels RVTZ 2011-079-117, RVTZ 2011-079-185, RVTZ 2011-079-335, RVTZ 2011-079-345 and RVTZ 2011-079-503 are promising for progress in achieving resistant lines to arthropod pests. Among them RVTZ 2011-079-117 stands out for resistance to twospotted spider mite.
A antinomia da proposta de humanização do cuidado em saúde
Authors: Souza Diego de Oliveira , Maurício Jane Carla
Published: July 2018

Resumo Este ensaio busca contribuir para a (re)formulação de uma linha teórica de análise da humanização do cuidado em saúde, a partir de uma abordagem marxiana. Para tanto, dialogamos com parte da produção científica brasileira, quando constatamos a predominância de uma tendência que centra a estratégia de humanização sobre uma perspectiva subjetiva-relacional, especialmente explícita na Política Nacional de Humanização da Atenção e Gestão no Sistema Único de Saúde. Embora reconheçamos a importância dessa estratégia, apontamos seus limites, ao problematizar o que seja humanização em Marx e, por consequência, demonstrando a estrutura originária do processo de desumanização. Feito isso, esclarecemos que, considerando quais sejam as bases da desumanização, seu enfrentamento deve ir além da esfera subjetiva-relacional, no sentido de atingir a dimensão coletiva da luta de classes, contra o capital. Trata-se de articular a luta particular contra os efeitos desumanizadores do capital na saúde com a luta mais geral, contra o capital nas suas linhas mais fundamentais.

Published: July 2018

Resumo A violência contra as mulheres é considerada um problema de saúde pública. No cenário rural, se torna ainda mais grave, haja vista um histórico de singularidades e isolamento das mulheres. Este estudo buscou conhecer as práticas de cuidado desenvolvidas por agentes comunitários de saúde na atenção às mulheres em situação de violência doméstica residentes em áreas rurais. Trata-se de uma investigação exploratório-descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, da qual participaram 13 agentes comunitárias de saúde. A produção de dados ocorreu através da técnica de grupo focal e de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para a análise dos dados empregou-se a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que essas profissionais de saúde utilizavam práticas de cuidado relacionais, como o diálogo, a escuta ativa e o vínculo, bem como aquelas relativas ao próprio contexto e ao serviço de saúde, como as orientações e o trabalho em equipe. As agentes comunitárias de saúde encontravam possibilidades de identificar e intervir nas situações de violência doméstica contra mulheres rurais. Contudo, necessitavam de qualificação, apoio multiprofissional e intersetorial para que pudessem responder de modo eficaz às demandas biopsicossociais dessa população específica.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo apreender as representações sociais de graduandos em saúde acerca da pessoa travesti. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa fundamentada no referencial teórico das representações sociais, privilegiando a teoria do núcleo central. Participaram da pesquisa 243 estudantes, sendo 167 mulheres e 76 homens, com idade entre 18 e 63 anos. Realizou-se um teste de associação livre de palavras com a expressão indutora “pessoa travesti”, cujos dados foram processados pelos softwares EVOC e IRAMUTEQ. A interpretação dos resultados dispostos no quadro de quatro casas permitiu-nos identificar o forte valor simbólico e afetivo dos campos semânticos “mulher”, “diferente”, “opção”, “transformação” e “alegria”, apresentados pelos estudantes, visto que explicitam particularidades do objeto representado. O preconceito foi caracterizado como o principal elemento enfrentado diariamente por quem se expressa enquanto tal. Os elementos que estruturam o núcleo central não revelam diferenciação entre orientação sexual e identidade de gênero, por parte dos graduandos.
Penalización del aborto: violencia política y abusos de la memoria en Chile
Authors: Nicholls Leslie , Cuestas Fedra
Published: July 2018

Resumen Chile es uno de los seis países en el mundo en los cuales el aborto está criminalizado. Aunque ya en 1931 la legislación chilena permitía interrumpir embarazos en determinadas circunstancias, en 1989, al final de la dictadura militar de Pinochet, la legislación fue modificada, prohibiendo el aborto en toda circunstancia. Desde el retorno de la democracia al país hace 27 años, ningún Gobierno ha empujado una legislación que despenalice el aborto. En el 2015 la Presidenta Bachelet envió una moción al Parlamento para legislar el aborto en tres causales específicas. Aquella moción ha hecho surgir el ultraconservadurismo de la derecha y centroderecha chilena, quienes, intentando desvirtuar el debate público y legislativo, plantean que se trata de una estrategia para legalizar el aborto libre, comparando dicha figura con las muertes, torturas y desapariciones políticas de más de mil personas ocurridas durante la dictadura en nuestro país. Este artículo intenta dar cuenta de la situación legislativa, cultural, y del manejo biopolítico del aborto en Chile durante los últimos años.
Associação político-partidária e influência da estrutura de incentivos na adesão dos municípios às políticas de saúde: evidências do Projeto Mais Médicos para o Brasil
Authors: Silva Hudson , Baia Priscila
Published: July 2018

Resumo O projeto Mais Médicos para o Brasil é uma ação do programa Mais Médicos, formulada pelo governo federal e implementada pelos municípios brasileiros a partir de 2013. Sua finalidade é levar médicos brasileiros e estrangeiros para regiões onde faltam esses profissionais. O estudo investiga se há associação político-partidária e influência da estrutura de incentivos na decisão dos municípios em aderir ao projeto. Para tanto, utiliza dados de adesão dos municípios em função da filiação partidária dos prefeitos e realiza entrevistas com secretários de saúde de dois municípios selecionados da região de saúde de Limeira, no estado de São Paulo. Os resultados sugerem haver tanto associação político-partidária como influência da estrutura de incentivos. Conclui-se que mesmo em países federativos e com marcadas desigualdades regionais, políticas públicas nacionais que demandam cooperação de diferentes esferas de governo podem ser implementadas com relativo sucesso, desde que uma estrutura apropriada de incentivos tenha sido prevista na formulação da política.
Feminização, estigma e o gênero facializado: a construção moral do gênero feminino por meio de cirurgias de feminização facial para travestis e mulheres transexuais
Authors: Silva Junior Aureliano Lopes da
Published: July 2018

Resumo Este artigo objetiva analisar os discursos de gênero construídos em torno das chamadas “cirurgias de feminização facial” tanto pelo discurso científico biomédico como por clínicas que oferecem tais procedimentos, os quais têm se tornado bastante populares entre travestis e mulheres transexuais. A partir de levantamento bibliográfico feito no website Google Acadêmico, inicialmente analiso artigos científicos do campo biomédico que buscam construir uma noção de gênero - ou uma identificação de gênero - por meio do conjunto dos traços faciais. Essa literatura biomédica fornece as bases a partir das quais profissionais e clínicas médicas construirão discursos e práticas acerca da “necessidade” e, por conseguinte, de um desejo desse tipo de intervenção para travestis e mulheres transexuais. Na sequência, analiso como tal discurso é encarnado (embodied) na descrição e na técnica dos procedimentos cirúrgicos da dita feminização facial a partir de material etnográfico de tese de doutorado sobre o Miss T Brasil, concurso de beleza voltado para travestis e mulheres transexuais. Os resultados demonstram que tanto o saber biomédico como as práticas em torno de tais cirurgias se pautam em ideais de constituição de uma “naturalidade” nos traços faciais e preservação de uma identidade reconhecida como pessoal. Constrói-se e visibiliza-se, assim, determinada feminilidade para travestis e mulheres transexuais que tanto parece corresponder a desejos pessoais de se alcançar um ideal normativo e socialmente validado de feminino, ao mesmo tempo que se promoveria o encobrimento de um estigma ao se permitir que elas “passem por” mulher em uma relação social ordinária.
Imaginários no cinema de animação: estetização de corpos na interface do cuidado de crianças e adolescentes
Authors: Penteado Regina Zanella , Costa Belarmino Cesar Guimarães da , Rodrigues Pedro Henrique Giambroni Neves
Published: July 2018

Resumo O artigo objetiva ilustrar como uma produção cinematográfica de animação é capaz de afirmar imaginários sociais e também evidencia a presença destes nas práticas sociais e profissionais nas áreas de educação, saúde e comunicação voltadas para a infância e adolescência. O estudo parte de elementos do repertório imagético de três formas/versões de corpo do personagem Baymax, da animação Big Hero 6, da Walt Disney Pictures, e identifica os imaginários sociais expressos na linguagem fílmica da animação, aqui considerados ponto de partida para refletir sobre as representações culturais e os dispositivos de biopoder da sociedade, nas lógicas consumistas e nas normatizações, padronizações, discriminações e nos controles do corpo, com atenção para os processos que envolvem as corporeidades de crianças e adolescentes. Os resultados evidenciam imaginários sociais que reforçam a padronização estética corporal, com caricaturização do corpo obeso e espetacularização do corpo atlético. As discussões alinham os imaginários a questões que tratam das corporeidades de crianças e adolescentes, especialmente centradas nas práticas sociais e profissionais e nas interfaces: saúde, educação e comunicação. É realçada a importância de uma cultura do cuidado pautada na integralidade e na interdisciplinaridade, que esteja atenta aos processos culturais, educacionais e formativos que ocorrem no contexto da sociedade consumista e midiática.
The story of building healthful houses in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Authors: Purwanto Semiarto Aji , Hapsari Indraini
Published: July 2018

Abstract While the State plays an important role in actively transforming communities into conditions considered as ‘developed’, at the micro level there are some traditional features which persist. This short ethnographic observation carried out among the Dawan in the village of Oinlasi, South Amanatun, East Nusa Tenggara, revealed that the ume kbubu, a Timorese traditional house style, has experienced some changes as a consequence of the introduction of the Ministry of Health’s ‘healthful housing’ program around fifty years ago. It was found that this program, along with other development programs, has changed the traditional life of the communities in the village. However, the researchers also witnessed that the communities were responding to these changes in various ways. The traditional houses were, in some cases, built with modern materials, equipped with electricity, and used only as a kitchen, while the family lived in modern healthful housing nearby. It is concluded that, although the idea of healthful houses is accepted by the community, their traditional house persists.
Classe Social, território e desigualdade de saúde no Brasil
Authors: Santos José Alcides Figueiredo
Published: July 2018

Resumo O estudo analisa como classe social e território se combinam na produção de padrões de saúde na população. Considera em particular as variações e as convergências espaciais da relação focal entre classe social e saúde no Brasil. Nas análises foram usadas probabilidades preditas e medidas tanto absolutas quanto relativas de desigualdade de saúde. Foram estimadas as probabilidades de não ter boa saúde para a capital e o interior de cada um dos estados brasileiros. Localização espacial e classe social se combinam para acentuar dramaticamente as discrepâncias de saúde. Como regra geral, as discrepâncias relativas de classe social são maiores nas regiões mais desenvolvidas e nas capitais de todos os estados. Os melhores níveis de saúde em territórios menos adversos favorecem mais os grupos com recursos e capacidades de potencializar os ganhos de saúde. A desigualdade absoluta é maior nas áreas menos desenvolvidas. As adversidades territoriais se combinam a maior densidade das categorias mais vulneráveis, impondo um enorme fardo populacional de saúde nas regiões menos desenvolvidas.
