Subjective effects of racism and care: lives and memories of black women
Authors: Gaudenzi Paula , Chagas Andrea , Castro Adriana Miranda de
Published: September 2023

Abstract Understanding racism as an integral part of Brazilian reality, constituting a social determinant of the health-disease process, this article seeks to reflect on the impacts of racism on subjectivity and contemplate the health care offered to black women. The reflections derive from a qualitative study using the biographical method, in which black women provided a narrative of their lives and experiences with racism. The narratives give visibility to the negative effects of living systematically under structural racism in the self-images of the interviewed women, as well as the lack of and/or poor effectiveness of public policies of integral health care to transform the status quo.

Authors: Pavlak Caroline da Rosa , Mengue Sotero Serrate
Published: September 2023

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi estimar a prevalência do uso de vitaminas e/ou minerais na população brasileira urbana com idade maior ou igual a 20 anos e identificar os fatores associados ao uso. Foram analisados os dados da Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos no Brasil (PNAUM), estudo transversal de base populacional, com amostra probabilística, realizada nas áreas urbanas das cinco regiões geográficas do país entre setembro de 2013 e fevereiro de 2014. A prevalência do uso estimada foi de 4,8% (IC95% 4,3-5,3), maior no sexo feminino, 6,4% (IC95% 5,7-7,1), e na população idosa, 11,6% (IC95% 10,5-12,8). O uso de vitaminas e/ou minerais mostrou-se associado aos fatores: sexo feminino, 60 anos ou mais, classe econômica A/B, apresentar doença(s) crônica(s) e autopercepção de saúde regular e muito ruim/ruim. Os multivitamínicos e multiminerais obtiveram maior frequência de uso, 24,5% (IC95% 20,1-29,4), seguido de cálcio e vitamina D, 23,4% (IC95% 19,7-27,5). Os dados sugerem que mulheres idosas devam ser o público referencial para ações de promoção do uso racional. Recomenda-se que os inquéritos epidemiológicos de abrangência nacional possam ampliar a observação desses produtos para possibilitar a análise de tendências.

Published: September 2023

Resumo Nosso objetivo foi analisar a associação entre a duração do trabalho remoto e o diagnóstico positivo da COVID-19 entre pessoas ocupadas no Brasil. Foram utilizados dados da PNAD COVID19 (2020). As variáveis sobre a situação do trabalho descritas foram: afastamento do trabalho em função do distanciamento físico, segmento de trabalho (setor de trabalho e formalidade: privado formal/informal, militar, servidor público estatutário, setor público CLT/informal, empregador, conta-própria/trabalhador não remunerado) e duração do trabalho remoto (sem trabalho remoto, 1-2 meses, 3-4 meses, 5-7 meses). Associação entre duração do trabalho remoto (exposição) e diagnóstico positivo para COVID-19 (desfecho) foi estimada por regressão de Cox, com ajuste para variáveis sociodemográficas e segmento de trabalho. O diagnóstico positivo da COVID-19 aumentou de 2,1% para 4,8% entre julho e novembro, e a frequência de trabalho remoto reduziu de 11,6% para 9,5% entre maio e novembro. O risco de diagnóstico positivo da COVID-19 foi menor para pessoas que trabalharam remotamente por 3-4 meses (RR=0,79; IC95%=0,67;0,92) e 5 meses (RR=0,57; IC95%=0,48;0,67) comparadas àquelas que não trabalharam remotamente. Houve discreta redução do percentual de trabalhadores em trabalho remoto e sua maior extensão reduziu o risco de diagnóstico positivo para COVID-19.
What contributes to Primary Health Care effectiveness? Integrative literature review, 2010-2020
Authors: Chaves Ana Cláudia Cardozo , Scherer Magda Duarte dos Anjos , Conill Eleonor Minho
Published: September 2023

Abstract Primary Health Care (PHC) intends to rearrange services to make it more effective. Nevertheless, effectiveness in PHC is quite a challenge. This study reviews several articles regarding the effectiveness improvements in PHC between 2010 and 2020. Ninety out of 8,369 articles found in PubMed and the Virtual Health Library databases search were selected for thematic analysis using the Atlas.ti® 9.0 software. There were four categories identified: strategies for monitoring and evaluating health services, organizational arrangements, models and technologies applied to PHC. Studies concerning the sensitive conditions indicators were predominant. Institutional assessment programs, PHC as a structuring policy, appropriate workforce, measures to increase access and digital technologies showed positive effects. However, payment for performance is still controversial. The expressive number of Brazilian publications reveals the broad diffusion of PHC in the country and the concern on its performance. These findings reassure well-known aspects, but it also points to the need for a logical model to better define what is intended as effectiveness within primary health care as well as clarify the polysemy that surrounds the concept. We also suggest substituting the term “resolvability”, commonly used in Brazil, for “effectiveness”.

Published: September 2023

Abstract It is an ecological study that analyzed the time trend of visceral leishmaniasis incidence rates in Brazil using segmented time regression by joinpoints. There was a decreasing incidence rate of this disease in the country with an average annual percent change (AAPC) of -5 (CI95%: -9.1; -0.6) and a reduction of 1.69 cases/100 thousand inhabitants in 2007, and 0.91/100 thousand inhabitants in 2020. The Central-West region showed the highest reduction percent (AAPC: -9.1; CI95%: -13.8; -4.3), followed by the Southeast region (AAPC: -8.7; -14.6; -2.5). The North and South regions showed the largest number of joinpoints in the time series. The highest incidences were recorded in the male population, however, stable (AAPC: 2.14; CI95%: -8.3; 0). In the age group analysis, the trend was decreasing for the groups from 0 to 4 years old (AAPC: -7.7; CI95%: -12.6; -2.4), 5 to 9 years old (AAPC: -7.3; CI95%: -13.6; -0,4) and 10 to 14 years old (AAPC: -5.5; CI95%: -10.3; -0.3). It was found that although Visceral Leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Brazil, there was a decrease in its incidence rate from 2007 to 2020.

Published: September 2023

Abstract This study aimed to describe the community food environment surrounding schools and its association with territorial socio-environmental vulnerability in the city with the highest intraurban social inequity index in Brazil. Methods: this ecological observational study includes data on the presence and type of food retail in a 400 m buffer surrounding public and private schools in Recife. We have also described the Health Vulnerability Index (HVI) of census tracts and conducted multivariate analyses. Results: through factor analysis, we observed two grouping patterns of food retail. The “diverse food outlets” pattern was positively associated with middle HVI (β 0.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.11; 0.16) and higher HVI areas (β 0.15, 95%CI - 0.11; 0.17), while “the large food retail chains” pattern was inversely associated with middle HVI (β -0.42, 95% CI - 0.53; -0.30) and high HVI areas (β -0.32, 95%CI - 0.45; -0.18) and positively associated with private schools (β 0.15, 95%CI - 0.030; 0.27). Conclusion: the greatest variety in food retail is in high HVI areas, and large food retail chains prevail around private schools, especially in low HVI areas.

Published: September 2023

Abstract This article aims to analyse the COVID-19 coping strategies adopted by municipal health managers in two regions. A mixed method study of the sequential explanatory type was carried out with municipal health managers and primary care coordinators. The quantitative stage was developed with the application of an instrument to 42 managers to identify coping actions and associations with demographic and epidemiological data of COVID-19 in the municipalities. The results aimed at the definition of 15 participants and the collection of data in the qualitative stage, enabling approximation of the meta inferences of the study. Of the actions implemented, there were immediate actions to monitor cases, organize new care flows and encourage the population to adopt nonpharmacological measures. Regional articulation was the device that allowed for expansion and municipal autonomy for testing, reducing contamination and deaths among citizens. Municipal coping strategies that focused on the surveillance of cases and expansion of testing showed positive outcomes in terms of the number of infections and deaths from COVID-19.
Factors associated with breastfeeding abandonment in the first month after the mother’s return to work

Published: September 2023

Abstract The return to work of lactating mothers has been identified as an important risk factor for breastfeeding interruption. We proposed to identify factors associated with breastfeeding abandonment in the first month after return. 252 women working at a hospital who had children aged 12 to 36 months and who were still breastfeeding when returned to work answered a questionnaire containing questions on sociodemographic characteristics, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and work-related factors. The associations were estimated using adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR), calculated with the hierarchical Poisson multivariable regression model. The following factors showed a significant association with breastfeeding abandonment: using a pacifier (aPR 4.58), cohabiting with someone other than partner (aPR 3.77), having no intention or having doubts about maintaining breastfeeding after returning (aPR 3.39), having a college degree (aPR 2.66), having no support from the infant’s caregiver (aPR 2.26), and infant being older when the woman returned to work (PR 1.16 for each additional month of infant age). Longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding was a protective factor (aPR 0.990). Most of the factors associated with discontinuation of breastfeeding in the first month after the mother’s return to work are not directly related to the woman’s work.

Published: September 2023

Resumo No Brasil, avanços consistentes ocorreram em direção à cobertura universal após a criação do Programa Saúde Família (PSF), principal estratégia para a ampliação do acesso de primeiro contato e de mudança do modelo assistencial no Brasil, fortalecido a partir da criação Piso de Atenção Básica (PAB), com recursos destinados exclusivamente à atenção básica, transferidos aos municípios de forma regular e automática. O cadastramento da população é um dos fundamentos do trabalho na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), objetivando conhecer as famílias adscritas às equipes. A instituição do Programa Previne Brasil em novembro de 2019 estabeleceu um novo modelo de financiamento de custeio da APS, tendo como um de seus componentes a capitação ponderada, cujo modelo de remuneração é calculado com base no número de pessoas cadastradas. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a evolução da população cadastrada na APS após a criação do incentivo de capitação ponderada, considerando o cadastro nos municípios e o seu comportamento nas diferentes tipologias municipais rural-urbano e o porte populacional. O estudo demonstrou que em 76,1% dos municípios houve aumento de cadastros no período analisado, independentemente da tipologia rural-urbano e do porte populacional dos municípios.

Published: September 2023

Abstract In Brazil, consistent advances occurred towards universal coverage after the creation of the Family Health Program (FHP), the main strategy for expanding first contact access and changing the care model in Brazil, strengthened from the creation of The Primary Care Floor (PAB), with resources exclusively for Primary Care, transferred to the municipalities on a regular and automatic basis. The registration of the population is one of the fundamentals of work in the Family Health Strategy (ESF), aiming to know the families enrolled in the teams. The institution of the Previne Brasil Program in November 2019 established a new funding model for PHC, with weighted capitation as one of its components, whose remuneration model is calculated based on the number of people registered. The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of the population registered in PHC after the weighted capitation incentive creation, considering the registration in the municipalities and their behavior in the different rural-urban municipal typologies and the population size. The study showed that in 76.1% of the municipalities there was an increase in registrations in the analyzed period, regardless of the rural-urban typology and population size of the municipalities.
Política Pública de Saneamento Básico no Brasil: ideias, instituições e desafios no Século XXI
Authors: Costa Nilson do Rosário
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este trabalho aborda os desafios contemporâneos do setor de saneamento básico brasileiro. As características de rentabilidade e dinamismo setorial puseram os serviços estatais de A & E no foco da agenda das reformas estruturais sob o argumento de que os governos não dispõem de recursos necessários para universalizar a cobertura. A agenda da reforma dos serviços de A & E advoga a concessão a empresas privadas da comercialização do abastecimento de água e do tratamento do esgotamento sanitário. Em convergência com esta agenda de reforma estrutural, a aprovação em 15 de julho de 2020 da Lei 14.026 alterou em profundidade o marco legal do saneamento, adotando integralmente a pauta da desestatização do setor. O novo marco regulatório veta o contrato de programa, torna obrigatória a licitação para contratação do serviço de saneamento, estabelece diretrizes nacionais para que estados e municípios acessem recursos federais e institui o regime de regulação nacional por meio da Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico. O modelo cooperativo praticado no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) pode servir como referência para a construção de um pacto social no setor.

Abstract Salt stress and heavy metal are instigating hazard to crops, menace to agricultural practices. Single and combined stresses affecting adversely to the growth and metabolism of plants. To explore salt and heavy metal resistant plant lines as phytoremediants is a need of time. Physiological responses are main adaptive responses of the plants towards stresses. This response varies with species and ecotype as well as type and level of stress. Two cucurbit weeds from two ecotypes were selected to evaluate their physiological adaptations against independent and combined stresses of various levels of salt (NaCl) and heavy metal (NiCl2). Various physiological parameters like water potential, osmotic potential, pressure potential, CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids, and production of adaptive chemicals like SOD, CAT, proteins, sugars and proline were studied. Citrullus colocynthis showed more adaptive response than Cucumis melo agrestis and desert ecotype was more successful than agricultural ecotype against stresses.

Published: September 2023

Abstract Cerambycidae beetles limit production and establishment of forest and fruit trees. Oncideres cervina Thomson, 1868 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the most important species. The objective was to record O. cervina girdling branches of Persea americana Mill. (Lauraceae) for the first time, check the number of oviposition incisions (Noi) as a function of the diameter of branch sections, period of emergence, and describe the larval-pupal chamber. Individuals of O. cervina were observed, for the first time, in P. americana orchards in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The middle section of branches (40-60 cm interval) had higher number of incisions. Girdled branches with a diameter of 40-50 mm had higher number of them. Adults emerged from November through January. Larval-pupal boreholes had diameters between 9 and 11 mm, and average tunnel length was 28 mm, with a mean volume of consumed wood of 4.3 mL. This information is useful for establishing integrated pest management practices against O. cervina in P. americana since this crop has a high added value and can be significantly compromised by attack by Cerambycidae beetles.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of the essential oils (EOs) of Aloysia triphylla, Lippia gracilis and Piper aduncum in juvenile tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), and evaluate the possible histopathological alterations in their gills. For the acute toxicity tests, juvenile tambaqui (n=24/treatment) were distributed in six treatments with three replicates, which comprised the control and five EO concentrations of A. triphylla (60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 mg L-1), L. gracilis (35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 mg L-1) and P. aduncum (42.5, 45, 47.5, 50 and 52.5 mg L-1), with an exposure period of 4 h. The mortality rate and severity of damage to the tambaqui gills were proportional to the increase in the concentration of the EO, with LC50-4 h values estimated at 109.57 mg L -1 for A. triphylla, 41.63 mg L -1 for L. gracilis and 48.17 mg L -1 for P. aduncum. The main morphological damages observed in the gills of the tambaqui exposed to the three EOs, were Grade I: hypertrophy and hyperplasia of lamellar epithelial cells, lamellar fusion, epithelial detachment, capillary dilation and constriction, proliferation of chloride cells and mucosal cells and edema; in low frequency Grade II damage as epithelial rupture and lamellar aneurysm. Necrosis (Grade III damage) was observed only in gill lamellae exposed to P. aduncum EO (47.5, 50.0 and 52.5 mg L-1). Concentrations of EOs below LC50-4 h can be used sparingly, for short periods of exposure for the treatment of diseases in tambaqui breeding.

Abstract This article presents the results of the culling of cows of the Simmental and Holstein breeds in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the research was to study the actual number of culled cows of dairy productivity in the farms of the Republic of Kazakhstan to determine its norm. The object of research were cows of Simmental (18,462 heads) and Holstein (17,862 heads) breeds in various regions of the republic. The research was carried out according to generally accepted zootechnical methods using statistical data processing using RStudio. The results of the studies showed that the percentage of culling increases in cows of the Simmental and Holstein breeds and amounts to 19.7 and 22.9%, respectively. The analysis of the retirement of full-aged cows of the Simmental breed showed that the main causes are hoof diseases (up to 26%), low reproductive function (up to 21%), low productivity (up to 18%). Holstein cows had an increase in disposals in all categories except for disposals for various reasons, for problems with reproduction, the disposal is up to 21%. The determination of the relationship between productivity and retirement in the Simmental breed cows showed that with age and increased lactation, the proportion of retired cows also increases, in the Holstein breed, with increased productivity, the percentage of culled animals also increases.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT: Urea is an organic compound characterized as a white, solid, and hygroscopic substance. It is recognized as a source of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and is widely used as a partial replacement for protein in cattle diets due to the ability of the ruminal microbiota to convert it into microbial protein. Despite the advantages of using urea, it also has limitations, particularly the proximity between metabolizable and toxic or fatal doses. Furthermore, for safe use, a period of adaptation is necessary for the animals. Poisoning is characterized by rapid and generally fatal development, which is frequent in non-adapted animals but can also occur in those with previous adaptations. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical, epidemiological, and pathological aspects of urea poisoning through a brief review and a retrospective study. In addition, interviews were conducted with veterinarians who frequently send diagnostic material to the Laboratory of Anatomic Pathology of the “Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia” (LAP-FAMEZ) to assess their perception of the outbreaks of urea poisoning. The objective was to obtain a comparative scenario between published cases and those received by the laboratory while considering the real situation of this condition in the field. During this retrospective study, only four outbreaks were investigated; in one, the diagnosis was possible through experimental reproduction. Of 35 interviewees, 88.9% said they had seen more than one case compatible with urea poisoning, but 87.5% did not perform a necropsy and/or send material to confirm the diagnosis. The results show that the reality of urea poisoning may be very distant from that reported in previous studies due to the difficulty often observed in the diagnostic approach, so we developed a flowchart aiming to provide a useful guide for field veterinarians.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT: Since the first reports of boar castration, the anesthesia, surgery, and especially the restraint for surgical wound management of large and strong boars may be challenging. Most frequent complications include hemorrhage, excessive edema, infection, abscess, scirrhous cord, inguinal hernia, seroma, hematoma, and death. In order to diminish those complications, we hypothesized that the pre-scrotal approach would be a successful method for orchiectomy in boars and that the complication rate would be low, facilitating post-surgical handling on the commercial swine breeding farms by the owners or handlers. Therefore, the present study aimed to describe our experience performing castration in boars using a pre-scrotal approach on farm-setting. Thirty commercial-breed male boars (weighing 255-410kg) were submitted to dissociative anesthesia protocol and local anesthesia. An 8-10cm skin incision was made cranially to the hemiscrotum, and subcutaneous tissue was bluntly dissected, reaching the tunica dartos, fascia, and vaginal tunica. Mesorchium was bluntly dissected to separate, and a double size-0 transfixion ligature was placed around the spermatic cord that was sharply transected. The procedure was repeated on the contralateral testis using the same skin incision. Short-term complication was restricted to mild scrotal edema in 12 (40%) boars. No wound exudate, surgical site infection or death related to the surgery was recorded. On the long-term follow-up (≥4 months’ post-surgery), all owners stated that the boar was subsequently used as intended (slaughter after the proper boar taint withdrawal time) and their satisfaction with the low degree of difficulty in handling the post-operative care. Herein, the overall complication rate was considered low, the mortality rate was zero, and the pre-scrotal castration approach was successfully performed in all boars. These features confirm the technique as a safe procedure for orchiectomy in boars. Additionally, abolishing the daily dressing of surgical wounds required in open castration techniques, especially when surgical site infection occurs, may provide better welfare for the boars.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT: Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a worldwide allergic skin disease. The affected dog population can show different clinical patterns according to geographic region, and a lack of studies in Brazil is observed. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the clinical and epidemiological data of cAD in dogs treated in a private clinical practice in Fortaleza, a city located in the Northeast Region of Brazil. cAD was diagnosed in 35% of dogs, being Shih-tzu and Poodle the most affected breeds. Paws and ears were frequently injured sites. Almost 50% of atopic dogs were diagnosed with superficial pyoderma and 36% with cutaneous malasseziosis. Atopic dogs with outdoor habits were less likely to develop cutaneous malassezial infection, and with routine ear, cleaning habits were less likely to develop bacterial otitis externa. In conclusion, canine atopic dermatitis is a prevalent disease in private clinical practice in Fortaleza, and lifestyle habits can be considered a risk factor for cutaneous malasseziosis infection and bacterial otitis externa in atopic dogs.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the food practices and nutritional status of students who use the University Restaurant at a public university. Methods This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 958 university students. Data related to regular eating practices (≥5 times/week), routine food consumption and nutritional status were collected. The association between University Restaurant attendance and dietary practices and body mass index was reviewed by bivariate logistic regression model and multiple regression. Results Students who attended the University Restaurant three or more times a week were more likely to regularly consume beans (OR: 1.35, p=0.041) and fresh salad (OR: 1.77, p<0.001) and less likely to have afternoon snack (OR: 0.68; p=0.008). In addition, an association between soda consumption and overweight was observed. Conclusion Thus, the importance of strategies that seek to promote incentives for healthy eating and lifestyle practices in the university population become evident.

ABSTRACT Nutrient prediction models applied to tree species from Brazilian Caatinga can be a crucial tool in understanding this biome. The study aimed to fit a mixed model to predict nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) content in tree species native to the Caatinga biome located in Floresta municipality, Pernambuco State – PE, Brazil. The following species were considered the area’s most important and evaluated in the present study: Poincianella bracteosa (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz, Mimosa ophtalmocentra Mart. ex Benth, Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart, Cnidoscolus quercifolius (Mull. Arg.) Pax. & Hoffm, and Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (Griseb.) Altschul. Four trees, representing the average circumference in each diameter class, were harvested for NPK quantification. The Spurr model was evaluated for NPK prediction, and species inclusion as a random effect was significant (p > 0.05) in all models. The Spurr model with fixed and random effects presented better statistics than fixed-effect models in all parameters for all nutrients. Generated NPK predicting equations can be a handy tool to understand the impact of wood extraction over Caatinga’s biogeochemical cycles and guide forest management strategies in semi-arid regions of the world.

Resumo: Na última década, o Brasil viveu um processo de desdemocratização e de avanço das políticas neoliberais, que levaram a uma precarização da vida. À desqualificação das mulheres, das lutas feministas e dos estudos de gênero, presente nos discursos da extrema-direita e de seus representantes, combina-se a privatização dos serviços públicos ou a restrição ao seu acesso, ampliando as tarefas não remuneradas de cuidado. Diante de tal quadro, que atinge particularmente as mulheres e as pessoas que exercem funções reprodutivas, torna-se urgente estabelecer um diálogo entre teorias feministas materialistas que têm no mundo do trabalho seu eixo central. O presente artigo propõe um encontro entre o feminismo materialista francófono e a teoria marxista da reprodução social, buscando contribuir para a análise e, desde a teoria da práxis, para transformar a realidade social.
Antropologia e crise ambiental

Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo trata do tema da crise ambiental que nos ensina sobre reconhecer a devastação ocasionada pelos processos coloniais e o esforço global por uma emancipação ambiental. Abordamos o conceito de crise ambiental no âmbito do campo de conhecimento antropológico. Objetivamos refletir sobre a tensão, a violência e o conflito na relação entre a sociedade e a natureza. Em um mundo de recursos naturais finitos, destacamos o despreparo do poder público para lidar com os desafios climáticos e impactos do aquecimento global na forma desigual com que atinge a população mundial e a urgência de serviços do Estado para a mitigação de ações predatórias e a necessária inovação de biopolíticas (nacionais e internacionais) de preservação e fiscalização acompanhadas de ampla participação social.
O PODER (NEURO)PSIQUIÁTRICO: A PSICOPATOLOGIZAÇÃO DO COTIDIANO NA ERA DO CÉREBRO
Authors: Angel Camila de Oliveira , Amaral Augusto Jobim do
Published: September 2023

Resumo Esta pesquisa pretende demonstrar como, em decorrência das alianças entre a psiquiatria e neurociências, emerge uma realidade social em que o diagnóstico psiquiátrico é extremamente disseminado, abarcando um número cada vez maior de pessoas e de situações. Logo, questiona-se como a reformulação do poder psiquiátrico, embasada na explicação cerebralista dos transtornos mentais, auxilia a expansão dos processos de psicopatologização do cotidiano. A hipótese é que o próprio saber-poder médico-psiquiátrico vem contribuindo para sua amplificação, confirmando-se como umas das práticas mais sensíveis em termos biopolíticos na atualidade. Nesse sentido, aplicando-se a técnica de pesquisa da documentação indireta e o método dedutivo, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica de cunho crítico e interdisciplinar. Testada a hipótese principal, concluiu-se, ao final, que a patologização generalista do sofrimento psíquico corresponde a um novo reducionismo biológico, o qual cria um novo modelo de controle social, embasado, agora, na chamada neuropsiquiatria.
What to do with teenage sexuality? The anthropology of forms of government in Brazil
Authors: Brandão Elaine Reis
Published: September 2023

Abstract This article discusses how the Brazilian Ministry for Women, the Family and Human Rights operates in relation to the prevention of so-called “teenage pregnancy”, analysing the Ministry’s political strategies, directives, initiatives for conversation with society-at-large, and campaigns for engaging their target public. We find, at the interstices of state bureaucracy, peculiar ways of dealing with and erasing teenage sexuality and gender markers that bear on teenage socialization, both of which are constitutive dimensions of these subjects, in favour of an idyllic family ethos which is contrasted to the sociocultural, material and symbolic dimensions that weave relations between generations within the domestic sphere. Childhood and self-care become central to government rhetoric, mobilizing conservative strategies that stem from an alarmist outlook which remains restricted to the private domain, singling out the (cis)heteronormative family - rather than schools - as the locus for sexuality education.

Abstract Musculoskeletal symptoms (MS) can derive from injuries or dysfunctions that affect biological tissues such as muscles, bones, and nerves, among others. Military Firefighters (MF) exercise their activities exposed to varied and complex biological conditions, in which the physical demands are intense. Shift work is another remarkable characteristic of the career, which is associated with sleep disorders. Our objective was to estimate the association between the risk of chronification of MS and sleep quality in MF with MS. Our study is a Cross-Sectional Observational Study, whose sample was composed of 753 BM from the Federal District. The analysis was performed with a Sample Characterization Questionnaire, Örebro Musculoskeletal Symptoms Screening Questionnaire (OMPSQ) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), answered remotely. Statistical analysis used the Spearman Correlation test, p<0.05. The correlation between OMPSQ and PSQI was rated moderate, demonstrating that sleep quality has an influence on the chronification process. The average of the evaluation of Sleep Quality through the PSQI is 8.79, indicating that military personnel present a deficient quality of sleep. There was a correlation between the PSQI score and the OMPSQ of 0.542 (p<0.001), a moderate correlation between the variables. We conclude that MF show correlation between SM and sleep quality, indicating a moderate relationship between the variables, where sleep quality explains 25% of SM. We found that most MF were classified as Low Risk for chronification of SM.

Published: September 2023

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia are preventable and highly prevalent diseases, as is systemic arterial hypertension. Thus, it is speculated that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may be neuroprotective against AD. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate if the use of ARBs confers a neuroprotective effect on AD, through a systematic review. Methods: Studies published on Embase, LILACS, SciELO, and PubMed were evaluated. The selection of the studies included those that evaluated the use of antihypertensive drugs in individuals with a previous diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment. The data were extracted with the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care (EPOC) form. The risk of bias was evaluated by the EPOC “Risk of bias tool.” Results: A total of 12 articles were identified, and 3 articles were selected. Two of them analyzed the use of ARB/ACEI versus other antihypertensives and the development of dementia. Conclusion: There is a tendency for ARBs to be superior to other antihypertensives in preventing dementia.
La población colombiana con necesidades de protección internacional y los planes regionales de respuesta
Authors: Ortiz Diana , Viloria Mauricio
Published: September 2023

Resumen El Plan de Acción Brasil PAB (2014-2024), se impulsó a partir de la evaluación del Plan de Acción México (2004-2014) que en sus programas planteó respuestas a la crisis desatada por la migración forzada transfronteriza colombiana en la primera década del siglo XXI, una de las épocas más cruentas del conflicto armado interno. Un fenómeno que persistió, aunque con niveles decrecientes, durante el proceso de los diálogos de paz (2012-2016) y tras la firma del Acuerdo Final entre el Estado colombiano y las antiguas FARC-EP (2016). Entre el 2000 y 2016, cerca del 80% de la migración forzada colombiana se enmarcó en flujos sur-sur. Colombia se ubicó durante los primeros quince años del nuevo siglo, como el principal país de origen de personas con necesidades de protección internacional de la región. En el marco de la segunda evaluación trienal del PAB, se realizaron grupos focales y entrevistas a profundidad a 166 personas de distintas nacionalidades, con necesidades de protección internacional en cinco países de América Latina. El objetivo fue contrastar las respuestas recibidas por las poblaciones afectadas con la formulación y aplicación de los marcos de respuesta regional. Los hallazgos evidenciaron que, los estándares de protección son aún frágiles frente a la inestabilidad política de la región; sin compromisos políticos de largo plazo los marcos de respuesta resultan temporales e inciertos.
A evolução das políticas de vinculação da diáspora da Turquia (2003-2014)
Authors: Brum Alex Guedes
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo explica o repentino interesse da Turquia em implementar políticas de vinculação da diáspora durante o período em que Erdoğan ocupou o cargo de primeiro-ministro do país (2003-2014). Argumenta-se que a evolução dessas políticas foi resultado de uma combinação de fatores domésticos, transnacionais e internacionais: internamente, a ascensão do AKP ao poder resultou em reformas econômicas e políticas e na promoção de uma nova identidade nacional baseada no neo-otomanismo e no nacionalismo sunita-muçulmano. Transnacionalmente, a crescente influência socioeconômica e política das comunidades turcas nos países de abrigo instou a Turquia a reconsiderar a eficácia de sua diáspora como fonte de influência no exterior, bem como um eleitorado em eleições nacionais. Acontecimentos internacionais também moldaram a nova agenda diaspórica do país, como o aumento do poder de barganha vis-à-vis a UE desde o início dos anos 2000 e o aumento da islamofobia no pós-11 de setembro.

Resumo Este trabalho, que é resultado de uma tese de doutorado, tem por objetivo compreender como um espaço formativo compartilhado pode promover mudanças de qualidade das ações de ensino. Para isso, constituímos um espaço formativo compartilhado com uma professora, em uma escola estadual localizada em um bairro periférico, para organização do ensino de ciências da natureza para os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Os resultados apontaram ações orientadas por objetivos intencionais e conscientes, realizadas em uma unidade dinâmica e de modo compartilhado, como desencadeadoras de aprendizagens e de novas ações para a atividade de ensino. A constituição de espaços compartilhados, organizados nessa perspectiva, possibilita o desenvolvimento psíquico de docentes e mudanças na qualidade do ensino.
Cidades médias brasileiras e sua convergência de crescimento e desenvolvimento socioeconômico
Authors: Staback Daiane Franciele , Lima Jandir Ferrera de
Published: September 2023

Resumo Esse artigo analisa a convergência de crescimento e desenvolvimento econômico das cidades médias brasileiras em 2005 e 2017. No processo de convergência, as cidades tendem a afluir para o mesmo nível de renda e padrões de vida, o que implica num processo que pode ser positivo ou negativo. A metodologia utilizada foi a das médias de convergência utilizando o Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) per capita total e setorial e os dados do Índice FIRJAN de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IFDM). Os resultados apontaram que o setor econômico com maior convergência foi o setor terciário. Já o setor em que houve a maior divergência foi o da agropecuária. Na área do desenvolvimento socioeconômico, a maior convergência entre as cidades médias foi a dimensão saúde. Já as dimensões emprego, renda e educação seguiram divergentes.
Adaptive governance: a challenge to Brazilian metropolitan regions
Authors: Carvalho Mônica de , Corrêa Filipe Souza , Araújo Rogerio Palhares Zschaber de
Published: September 2023

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present a theoretical discussion about the institutional dimension of the concept of adaptive governance. We discuss examples of this institutional dimension based on an analysis of the limits to the implementation of adaptive governance in Brazilian metropolises, based on: 1) the financial resources available to the environmental management of municipalities belonging to metropolitan regions; 2) the creation of an institutional arrangement for climate governance in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Despite the incremental aspect, the analyzed data indicate the low fiscal relevance of the environmental issue, as well as difficulties in implementing governance arrangements that succeed in providing transversal planning capacity, mechanisms for the integrated action of different agents, and incentives to an enhanced participatory dynamics in the formulation and implementation of climate policies.
