Cartas de leitores como espaços privilegiados de apropriação da informação e dos efeitos de sentido.
Authors: Guaraldo Tamara de Souza Brandão 
Published: July 2020

RESUMOIntrodução: Este artigo debate o conceito de apropriação da informação apoiado em pesquisa bibliográfica e discussão crítica de trabalhos publicados sobre a seção cartas de leitores de jornais impressos. Nas seguintes bases de dados da internet: Scielo, Google Acadêmico e portal BRAPCI, nas quais foram selecionados treze trabalhos científicos em português com o descritor “cartas de leitores” e que apresentaram dados de pesquisa aplicada, pertinentes à abordagem desse estudo. Objetivo: Discutir o conceito de apropriação da informação apoiado no estudo bibliográfico e análise crítica de trabalhos publicados sobre a seção cartas de leitores. Metodologia: Pesquisa bibliográfica sobre as cartas de leitores e discussão dos artigos selecionados sob o viés analítico dos efeitos de sentido e elementos da análise do discurso. Resultados: Identificam-se nas pesquisas estudadas, as cartas de leitores como espaços privilegiados dentro dos meios de informação impressos para os estudos de apropriação da informação, já que se constituem como lugar da expressão do sujeito leitor e possível zona de observação dos pesquisadores interessados nessa temática, pois nas cartas é possível encontrar as marcas de como o leitor se apropria da informação e os efeitos de sentidos da leitura sobre ele, ou seja, como leva a informação para sua vida quando lê. Conclusões: Ao interagir com o jornal, com os textos e os outros leitores, as cartas de leitores apresentam a apropriação da informação em curso, pois demonstram como o leitor se apodera das informações veiculadas, como constrói uma compreensão dos temas, deixando as marcas de quem é e de onde está situado social e historicamente.

Authors: Danasekaran Raja , Buvnesh Kumar M  , Raja T K , Nirupama A Y , Sharath U 
Published: July 2020

Background: Plastics have become part of our modern lives and the amount of plastics produced in this decade equals the amount produced in the last century. Unless we control the production and usage of these plastics, the consequences will be drastic. The study was planned to find the perception regarding the hazards of plastics and also to assess the effectiveness of the plastic ban imposed in Tamil Nadu state.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adult participants in a rural area (Poonjeri village) of Kanchipuram district in Tamil Nadu. Details regarding basic socio-demography, perception regarding plastics and practices related to plastic ban were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire.
Results: The study included 122 participants of which 23.8% were illiterates and 59.8% were unskilled workers. Major usage form of plastics was plastic covers and they were of the opinion that plastics can lead to cancer, diseases, environmental pollution, etc. 95.1% were aware of the plastic ban and there was difference in awareness about the banned items. Many have stopped using the banned plastics, but 35% were still using plastics for food packing, etc. Plastic wastes were dumped (33.62%) or burnt (21.55%), apart from disposal by local bodies.
Conclusion: Even though the awareness about the plastic ban is high among the population, the usage of banned materials is still there. Adequate number of alternatives to be made available and awareness to be created about the same.
Healthcare Professionals’ Preparedness for COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Survey in Northern India
Authors: Sharma Suresh K , Mudgal Shiv Kumar , Sharma Priya 
Published: July 2020

Background: Health care agencies have framed guidelines for healthcare professionals (HCPs) to manage COVID-19 pandemic but still there is paucity of Indian data on HCPs preparedness.
Aim: To assess level of perceived preparedness of healthcare professionals against COVID-19.
Method: This cross-sectional study included 1218 HCPs (nurses, physicians and technicians) from government and private institutes through convenience sampling technique. Online survey was done to assess preparedness of HCPs against COVID-19, using self-structured questionnaire based on HCPs preparedness checklists released by WHO and CDC.
Results: Only 42.4% HCPs considered themselves prepared for donning and doffing of PPE and around 65.8% were confident in providing direct patient care. Gender had significant difference (P<0.001) on level of perceived preparedness of HCPs. Younger participants shown higher level of preparedness than older participants (P=0.022). Technicians were less prepared with significantly low mean scores 10.36±2.55 than nurses (11.45±2.45) and physicians (11.68±2.17; p=.038). HCPs working in tertiary level institutes had significantly higher mean preparedness scores (11.86±2.89; P<.001) than those working in primary (10.49±2.68) and secondary level institutes (10.57±2.35).
Conclusion: All HCPs should be strongly encouraged for regular participation in training and simulation exercises arranged by institute as continuing education, which may enhance their preparedness against COVID-19 pandemic.
'El rencoroso desprecio con que las hemos mirado y las miramos´: una reflexión feminista sobre la obra de Gamaliel Churata
Authors: Hernando Marsal Meritxell 
Published: July 2020

Siguiendo la trayectoria de su autora, este artículo reflexiona sobre la obra de Gamaliel Churata desde una perspectiva feminista. Para ello, primero se analizan los textos periodísticos en que el autor destaca escritoras o iniciativas feministas y, después, se reflexiona sobre cuatro núcleos temáticos desarrollados por Churata en su obra: la violación como denuncia de la colonialidad de género, la estética fundada en la germinación como propuesta de un modelo creativo femenino, el matriarcado como sistema de relaciones político-sociales y, finalmente, el cuerpo como forma de conocimiento. El apoyo teórico procede de la fortuna crítica de Churata (Badini, Luna, Mamani, Mancosu, Monasterios, Usandizaga) y de la teoría feminista latinoamericana (Anzaldúa, Carneiro, Lugones, Mendoza).
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Induced Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Inflammation Shows Morphologic Similarities to, but Is Immunologically Distinct From, Helicobacter pylori Gastritis and Celiac Disease
Authors: Irshaid Lina , Robert Marie E. , Zhang Xuchen 
Published: July 2020

Context.—
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapies are associated with multi-organ immune-related adverse events. Although colonic mucosal changes have been described, inflammatory changes incited by CPIs in the upper gastrointestinal tract have not been well characterized.

Objective.—
To investigate morphologic and immunologic changes incited by CPI therapy in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Design.—
We compared the morphology and immune cell phenotype of gastric and duodenal biopsies from patients treated with anti–cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) or anti–programmed death receptor-1/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) antibodies with biopsies from patients with Helicobacter pylori gastritis, patients with celiac disease, and normal controls.

Results.—
Gastric biopsies from patients on CPIs showed chronic gastritis mimicking H pylori gastritis. However, CPI gastritis demonstrated greater numbers of CD8+ intraepithelial lymphocytes, less lamina propria inflammation, fewer plasma cells and CD20+ B cells, fewer lymphoid aggregates, and reduced CD4:CD8 ratio in both the lamina propria and the epithelial layer. There were no differences between anti–CTLA-4 and anti–PD-1/PD-L1 gastritis, except for more lymphoid aggregates in anti–PD-1/PD-L1 gastritis. Duodenal biopsies from patients on CPIs revealed chronic duodenitis with villous blunting, mimicking celiac disease. Compared with celiac disease, CPI duodenitis demonstrated higher prevalence of neutrophilic infiltrates and erosions, increased lamina propria CD3 and CD8 T cells, and reduced CD4:CD8 ratio. Upper gastrointestinal biopsies were more inflamed than concomitant colonic biopsies in the majority of patients.

Conclusions.—
The morphologic and immunophenotypic distinctions between CPI-associated upper gastrointestinal injuries and common infectious and autoimmune diseases may provide useful discriminators when clinicians are confronted with gastric and duodenal inflammatory changes in patients receiving CPI therapy.
Saúde pública, justiça e cloroquina: aspectos farmacoepidemiológicos e reflexões bioéticas da pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil
Authors: Santana Eric , Völz Luanna Gabriela 
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta um panorama científico da pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil e discute questões bioéticas e avalia as possíveis soluções dos problemas morais no contexto atual. Primeiramente, apresentamos a literatura da comunidade médico-farmacológica sobre tratamentos eficientes contra a doença, levantando também dados do governo brasileiro sobre saúde pública. Então, investigamos as questões (bio)éticas sobre os fatos apresentados. Uma breve discussão dessas questões sob a perspectiva do enfoque dos quatro princípios foi realizada. Concluiu-se que as medidas de isolamento social tomadas pelo governo brasileiro são moralmente justificadas. Considera-se também moralmente permissível o uso de seres humanos nos testes clínicos desses medicamentos, desde que a autonomia deles seja resguardada e a análise de riscos e benefícios mostrar-se positiva. Por fim, evidencia-se a relação entre ciência e filosofia no âmbito ético, político e biomédico.
Ficção em Tempos de Pandemia: uma análise de "Um Diário do Ano da Peste" de Daniel Defoe
Authors: Lemos Italo Lins 
Published: July 2020

Analisarei o romance Um Diário do Ano da Peste de Daniel Defoe como sendo um experimento mental que nos fornece prescrições consistentes sobre como agir em tempos de pandemia. Para mostrar que obras de ficção não possuem apenas valor estético, mas também um caráter cognitivo, defenderei o cognitivismo crítico e sustentarei desse modo que os ganhos cognitivos que temos a partir de uma obra de ficção acontecem em uma reflexão posterior à experiência imediata com a obra. Em seguida, argumentarei que a ficção possui uma vantagem heurística frente à filosofia e às ciências, pois uma narrativa ficcional fornece ao espectador uma perspectiva privilegiada dos fatos ou dos pensamentos de uma personagem. Essa perspectiva pode sensibilizar o espectador e fazê-lo ter empatia pela personagem que sofre; e isso pode funcionar, em tempos de pandemia, como uma defesa das medidas de prevenção, a exemplo do isolamento social.
Where Have All the Normal Men and Women Gone?

Published: July 2020

Abstract
FAR-RIGHT SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, WHOSE POPULARITY IS ON THE RISE IN EUROPE, ARE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS MALE-DOMINATED ORGANISATIONS. CONSEQUENTLY, MASCULINITY IN THE CONTEXT OF FAR-RIGHT ORGANISATIONS AND THE MANOSPHERE HAS RECEIVED SCHOLARLY ATTENTION. HOWEVER, MOST STUDIES FOCUS ON MALE ORGANISATIONS AND MALE LEADERS, GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT “MASCULINIST DISCOURSES” ARE REPRODUCED ONLY BY MEN (KIMMEL, 2013, 2018; MILLER-IDRISS, 2018). YET, IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE PATRIARCHAL DISCOURSES OF WOMEN ENGAGED IN ACTIVISM IN FAR-RIGHT ORGANISATIONS. THEREFORE, THIS EXPLORATORY STUDY FOCUSES ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF GENDER IN THE ONLINE COMMUNICATION OF THE CZECH FEMALE ORGANISATION ANGRY MOTHERS. THE STUDY PROVIDES A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WOMEN CAN CO-CONSTRUCT THE MANOSPHERE, WHICH IS DEEMED TO BE A FUNDAMENTALLY MISOGYNIST ONLINE SPACE. TO ANSWER MY RESEARCH QUESTIONS: HOW DOES THE ORGANISATION USE VISUAL LANGUAGE TO CONSTRUCT GENDER IN THEIR ONLINE COMMUNICATION? AND WHAT TYPES OF MASCULINITY/FEMININITY ARE PORTRAYED AS SUPERIOR AND WHAT TYPES OF MASCULINITY/FEMININITY ARE PORTRAYED AS SUBORDINATE?, I ANALYSED MATERIAL PUBLISHED ON THE ORGANISATION’S FACEBOOK PAGE USING THE METHOD OF VISUAL ANALYSIS (ROSE, 2016), INFORMED BY CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS (CDA) (WODAK & MEYER, 2016). BASED ON THE FINDINGS, I ARGUE THAT THE ACTIVISTS’ VIEWS PRESENTED IN THEIR POLITICAL COMMUNICATION AIM TO PRESERVE A MASCULINIST, PATRIARCHAL STRUCTURAL ORDER IN SOCIETY, DESPITE THEIR SELF-IDENTIFICATION AS PROTECTORS OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS. HOWEVER, THROUGH THEIR DISCURSIVE PRACTICES, THEY SIMULTANEOUSLY PORTRAY WOMEN AS POWERFUL ACTORS IN THEIR TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES.

Abstract
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DONALD TRUMP ENGAGES IN ONGOING TWITTER-ATTACKS ON (PERCEIVED) POLITICAL OPPONENTS SUCH AS NAMED POLITICIANS, CELEBRITIES, NEWS CHANNELS AND NAMED JOURNALISTS. IN JUNE 2015 THE NEW YORK TIMES BEGAN TO COMPILE A LIST OF TRUMP’S INSULTS ON TWITTER. BY JANUARY 2020 THE LIST COMPILES THE “598 PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS DONALD TRUMP HAS INSULTED ON TWITTER”. IN THIS ARTICLE, WE MAKE USE OF THIS LIST AS AN ARCHIVE OF CONDENSED AFFECTIVE EXPRESSIONS THAT ALLOW US TO ANALYSE THE WAYS IN WHICH TRUMP USES TWITTER TO MOBILISE POLITICALLY IN MANNERS WHICH WE WILL TERM ‘STRATEGIC CYBERBULLYING’. CYBERBULLYING IS OFTEN DISCUSSED AS A PHENOMENON THAT ARISES AMONG CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, YET WE SUGGEST THAT BORROWING AN ANALYTIC LENS FROM CYBERBULLYING RESEARCH ALLOWS US TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF TRUMP’S USE OF TWITTER FOR POLITICAL MOBILISATION. THROUGH A CATEGORICAL MAPPING OF THE NEW YORK TIMES ARCHIVE, WE SHOW HOW POLITICAL OPPONENTS ARE DISCREDITED STRATEGICALLY AND A NEW KIND OF POLITICAL TERRITORY IS ESTABLISHED THROUGH AN AFFECTIVE CIRCULATION OF INTERFACIAL REFRAINS THROUGH TWITTER. THESE REFRAINS TRAVEL BETWEEN ON- AND OFFLINE CONTEXTS TO EXTEND THE REACH OF THE CAMPAIGN THROUGH ESTABLISHING A NEW FORM OF WE-NESS THAT INCLUDES AND EXCLUDES COMMUNITIES. WE SHOW HOW THIS WE-NESS IN TRUMP’S AFFECTIVE POLITICS IS SHAPED (ALSO) BY THE TWITTER INTERFACE AND HOLDS THE POTENTIAL TO ALTER THE DEMOCRATIC PUBLIC AND THE THRESHOLDS FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION.
ÉRECTION D’ÉCOLES ET PRISE EN CHARGE DU TRAUMA DANS LES CAMPS DE MIGRANTS EUROPÉENS
Authors: Idrac1 Mickael 
Published: July 2020

Cet article s’appuie sur le cadre théorique de l’interactionnisme symbolique pour décrire les dynamiques éducatives ayant cours dans les camps de migrants sis aux portes de l’Union européenne. Il découle d’une enquête de terrain menée entre février 2016 et août 2019 en Grèce, Macédoine du nord, Serbie, Italie et France. L’objectif de la recherche est de démontrer que sous certaines conditions, en passant par la qualification des camps en tant qu’institutions totales et la définition de la « forme-école », les écoles sont capables de devenir un levier de propagation du bien-être et catalyser la détotalisation des camps.
L’art au coeur de la démarche éducative pour le vivre-ensemble
Authors: Morel Maia 
Published: July 2020

En s’appuyant sur la posture engagée de l’artiste contemporain, cette recherche examine comment l’oeuvre d’art permet d’aborder les valeurs du vivre-ensemble. Menée auprès de 44 enseignantes moldaves, elle interroge leurs représentations initiales sur l’Autre, ainsi que sur la place de l’art à l’école, et propose un recadrage en utilisant des oeuvres d’un artiste contemporain. Une analyse qualitative des résultats montre la façon dont les arts plastiques peuvent, en tant que discipline scolaire, aborder des questions sensibles et réorganiser les points de vue ; le texte traite aussi de la place à leur accorder dans l’éducation à la diversité.
INSTANTANÉS
Authors: Morell Bonet Alvaro , Berger Patrick 
Published: July 2020

Ce projet artistique mêlant danse et photographie reflète l’aboutissement de trois ans d’expérience au sein de l’hôpital psychiatrique « Les Murets » auprès de personnes atteintes de schizophrénie. Nous sommes partis d’une idée simple : relier la danse et la photographie. Au travers de la danse, la proposition est de libérer le mouvement et de l’amener vers l’improvisation, l’expression, l’autonomie, l’indépendance, ce qui permet à chacun d’atteindre ses limites, de se réapproprier son corps. L’image, de son côté, va mettre en avant le senti et le ressenti de chaque individu face à la photo, les limites corporelles favorisant l’intégration sociale au sein du groupe.
Les enjeux de ce binôme danse/photo nous interrogent sur l’expérience du corps, l’extériorisation de l’image par la photo et donc les répercussions sociales. Le partage se fait lors de la présentation des photos en fin de séance et par une exposition visible par tous les patients, soignants et familles dans le foyer de l’hôpital, ce qui permet de partager et de rendre publique une image nouvelle des patients.
Antoine Gérin-Lajoie : une jeunesse romantique et un idéal politique au cours des difficiles années de l’Union
Authors: Gallichan Gilles 
Published: July 2020

Cet article met en relief les premières années de la carrière d’Antoine Gérin-Lajoie et les premiers pas de son engagement social et national. Né en 1824, il fut témoin, sans être acteur, des grandes années patriotes et des insurrections de 1837-1838. Sa formation scolaire s’accompagne d’éveils culturels et d’élans littéraires qui le placent parmi les auteurs du courant romantique québécois. L’itinéraire du jeune Gérin-Lajoie, dans la décennie 1840, illustre les espoirs et les difficultés de sa génération. Il cherche brièvement fortune aux États-Unis, puis il revient au pays, préférant servir ses concitoyens par le journalisme et l’écriture. Son idéal politique est déchiré par la rupture entre L.-H. LaFontaine, qui tente de composer avec les contraintes et les injustices de l’Union, et L.-J. Papineau, revenu d’exil, qui condamne le régime colonial et se tourne vers l’annexionnisme. Gérin-Lajoie trouve dans la fonction publique, plus que dans le journalisme, un moyen de gagner sa vie et de fonder une famille. Son oeuvre littéraire, tant du côté de la poésie et du roman que de l’histoire, lui permet cependant de travailler au relèvement national. Homme de lettres et de réflexion, il figure, avec d’autres Canadiens de son époque (Étienne Parent, F.-X. Garneau, P.-J.-O. Chauveau, etc.), parmi ceux qui, malgré le long hiver colonial de l’Union, ont travaillé à maintenir l’existence du Canada français et qui ont souhaité son épanouissement.
Sur le romantisme littéraire canadien entre les années 1830 et 1860 : une étude comparative des discours sur la littérature de Joseph-Sabin Raymond et d’Henri-Raymond Casgrain
Authors: Rizzuto Liliana 
Published: July 2020

Le présent article propose une analyse du discours sur la littérature de Joseph-Sabin Raymond et d’Henri-Raymond Casgrain, deux des représentants les plus éminents du romantisme littéraire canadien de 1830 à 1860. Leurs points de vue différents, flagrants notamment dans les textes qu’ils publient respectivement dans le Foyer canadien au cours de l’année 1866, offrent l’occasion d’une comparaison éclairante sur deux définitions concurrentes de la littérature canadienne pendant la période : la première plus classique, abreuvée à même les traités d’éloquence antiques et le romantisme catholique français ; la seconde plus moderne, résolument nationaliste, plus conservatrice également, quoique toujours aussi romantique, même s’il ne s’agit peut-être que d’un « romantisme de façade », ainsi que le suggère, entre autres, Micheline Cambron.
Les correspondances de Chauveau au Courrier des États-Unis, 1841-1849
Authors: Robert Lucie 
Published: July 2020

De 1841 à 1849, Pierre-Joseph-Olivier Chauveau (qui signe encore « P. C. », initiales de Pierre Chauveau) agit comme correspondant canadien du Courrier des États-Unis, que dirige alors à New York le journaliste français Théodore-Frédéric Gaillardet. Il y commente la vie politique canadienne et connaît ainsi une certaine notoriété puisque ses articles sont régulièrement reproduits et commentés dans la presse canadienne. Ces correspondances, parmi les premières du journalisme canadien, révèlent la manière dont le jeune Chauveau subsume l’angoisse suscitée par les rébellions ainsi que des traces d’un romantisme politique que sa carrière ultérieure saura éteindre, mais qui permet alors de mieux saisir la genèse de son roman Charles Guérin.
De la rue à la prison et de la prison à la rue : une analyse du caractère cruel et inusité de l’emprisonnement pour non-paiement d’amendes des personnes en situation d’itinérance
Authors: Coupienne Marilyn , Perrault Édith 
Published: July 2020

L’emprisonnement pour non-paiement d’amendes au Québec est le résultat de plusieurs facteurs sociaux, politiques et juridiques, dont la judiciarisation systémique des personnes en situation d’itinérance. Faisant appel à l’examen de la disproportion exagérée, le présent article analyse la possibilité de considérer l’emprisonnement pour non-paiement d’amendes comme une peine ou un traitement cruel et inusité au sens de l’article 12 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés, notamment en raison de l’absence d’une individualisation de la peine de la part du juge du procès. Les conséquences de ce type d’emprisonnement sont importantes sur la vie des personnes en situation d’itinérance et ont pour effet d’accentuer leur vulnérabilité face au système judiciaire pénal et de limiter leur réinsertion sociale.
Euthanasie, abattage et mise à mort d’animaux : comment interpréter la Loi sur le bien-être et la sécurité de l’animal? Commentaire sur Road to Home Rescue Support c Ville de Montréal
Authors: Lessard Michaël , Bonenfant Romane 
Published: July 2020

La Cour d’appel déclare que la reconnaissance des animaux comme étant des êtres doués de sensibilité par l’article 898.1 du Code civil du Québec ainsi que les protections juridiques corollaires de la Loi sur le bien-être et la sécurité de l’animal n’interdisent pas l’euthanasie ou l’abattage d’animaux, notamment lorsque la mise à mort d’un animal dangereux est ordonnée par une municipalité.

Quoiqu’ils soient en accord avec le dispositif du jugement, l’auteur et l’autrice critiquent l’interprétation restrictive que la Cour d’appel fait de l’article 6 de cette loi qui, à leur avis, prévoit une prohibition générale de la mise à mort d’animaux, sauf aux fins d’agriculture, de médecine vétérinaire, d’enseignement et de recherche scientifique.
