Travessia: Viver Enquanto se Morre - Construções e Ressignificações Durante o Câncer
Authors: Soares Keila Cristina de Souza 
Published: January 2025

Este artigo reflete sobre a experiência pessoal de acompanhar o adoecimento do meu esposo, manifestado com câncer metastático, e a maneira como a morte se tornou uma presença constante em nosso cotidiano. A partir dessa vivência íntima, investigo como a sociedade contemporânea ocidental lida com a morte e o processo de ressignificação da vida frente à iminência do fim. O diagnóstico trouxe à tona microviolências e isolamentos, exacerbados pelas restrições da pandemia de COVID-19, destacando como o câncer, enquanto doença cercada por estigmas, afetando não só o paciente, mas também seus familiares. A reflexão parte das hipóteses de que, embora os autores descrevam a morte como um tabu no Ocidente, essa perspectiva pode ser mais complexa, envolvendo tanto a negação quanto a exposição da morte. A análise recorreu a autores como Susan Sontag e Norbert Elias, que destacam o medo e a solidão ligada à morte e ao câncer, assim como Annemarie Mol ao exploram o papel da hegemonia biomédica, que, ao privilegiar intervenções tecnológicas e farmacológicas, muitas vezes desumaniza o paciente e ignora o impacto emocional e social da doença. O artigo explora a experiência da liminaridade em doenças terminais, especialmente o câncer, à luz da teoria dos ritos de passagem de Victor Turner. Na liminaridade, o indivíduo se encontra entre categorias sociais, sem estar completamente em uma ou fora, o que provoca uma reflexão profunda sobre o próprio papel na sociedade e os valores da vida. Nas doenças terminais, essa transição se intensifica, colocando o paciente e seus cuidadores em um estado de “viver-morrer”, onde a vida e a morte coexistem em tensão. Por fim o artigo aponta para o entendimento de que a morte não é o fim abrupto da vida, mas uma transição que nos obriga a revisitar nossos valores, nossas relações e nossos significados mais profundos.
PROBLEMÁTICA DE LA SEGURIDAD SOCIAL EN PANAMÁ
Authors: Herrera Ballesteros Víctor Hugo 
Published: January 2025

Desde su concepción la seguridad es considerada como un bien público, debido a que su razón es la de solventar los llamados fallos de mercado en el acceso a la salud y a las pensiones por vejez. Por esta razón la Caja del Seguro Social debe ser siempre concebida como una entidad pública y en que su manejo debe estar alejado de cualquier intento de privatización total o parcial. Por tal razón en la coyuntura actual debe darse un total rechazo al actual proyecto de ley 163, dado que desde su exposición de motivos viola este principio universal.
La seguridad social atraviesa por una serie de problemas estructurales y coyunturales que requieren de políticas de corto y largo plazo para garantizar la transición a un esquema de pensiones sostenibles sobre la base de la solidaridad intergeneracional por un lado y hacer una gestión eficiente de la prestación de servicios de salud de cobertura universal, sobre la base de la coordinación entre la Caja de Seguro Social y del Ministerio de Salud, para acabar con la brecha social en salud.
Es indispensable trabajar en una nueva legislación que deje en claro los ámbitos de acción de ambas entidades, hacia una salud universal en adición a unir las reservas del sistema mixto y del sistema de beneficio exclusivo definido, y que sea este último sistema el que prevalezca, en que se tiene una tasa de reemplazo definida y donde la transición intergeneracional sea la base de la solidaridad del sistema de pensiones.
Dinâmica da sedimentação e erosão em uma zona ripária do Cerrado no estado de Goiás, Brasil
Authors: Santos Momoli Renata , Bernardes Ladeira Francisco Sergio , Correchel Vladia , Cooper Miguel 
Published: January 2025

A erosão do solo provoca efeitos negativos ecossistêmicos e econômicos e as práticas de uso e manejo do solo de prevenção e controle de erosão devem considerar as características locais do solo, relevo, vegetação e hidrologia. Este estudo buscou elucidar a dinâmica de deposição de sedimentos em uma zona ripária, resultante da erosão em Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico argiloso cultivado com soja. O nível da superfície foi monitorado por pinos de erosão e a intensidade e volume de chuva foram medidos com pluviômetro de báscula durante 17 meses. Considerando o balanço entre deposição e erosão, predominou a deposição de sedimentos (média 4,59 cm) apesar da alta variabilidade espaço-temporal dada pelo coeficiente de variação médio de 113%. Apesar da distribuição irregular, foi observada a tendência decrescente de deposição de sedimentos da borda para o interior da floresta ripária e aumento da erosão no interior da floresta, com perdas de solo média de -4,40 cm e máxima de -14,00 cm. O aumento da cobertura vegetal protetora do solo reduziu o aporte de sedimentos na borda e no interior da zona ripária, pela diminuição da erosão do terreno cultivado na encosta a montante, importante principalmente durante o período chuvoso em regiões tropicais.
