title: From the circumnavigation of the Vital de Oliveira to the new ration tables: nutrition and health on Brazilian Imperial Navy vessels, 1879-1886

description: Abstract The corvette Vital de Oliveira was the first Brazilian Navy vessel to circumnavigate the world, from 1879 to 1881. One of the items that concerned its captain, Júlio de Noronha, in his trip report was the food supply, which was further reinforced in the medical report for the expedition written by the head surgeon, Galdino Magalhães. This concern was notable due to the high numbers of sailors who sickened and died during the trip, which according to both reports may have been caused by shortages of certain foods. This article discusses the relationship between food and health in the crew, as well as the relationship between this journey and the implementation of a new ration table that took effect in 1886.

title: The Anti-Cancer League and public outreach for cancer control in Peru

description: Abstract Peru’s first cancer control public outreach scheme started in the 1910s, but ground to a standstill as it attained official governmental recognition in 1926 as the Liga Anti-Cancerosa (LAC). This paper explains the developments leading to that earliest effort to enlist a coalition of State health agencies, physicians, and lay people in a campaign to publicize early signs of this disease, as well as the medical and political reasons for and implications of its decline. Besides highlighting the importance of professional initiatives shaping cancer activism, contextualizing the rise and fall of the LAC calls attention to the effects that hospitalization of cancer treatment had on aspects of cancer care that were not directly treatment-related, such as public outreach.

title: Medical waste: the dark side of healthcare

description: Abstract Hospitals and other health facilities generate an ever-increasing amount of waste, approximately 15% of which may be infectious, toxic, or radioactive. The World Health Organization has been addressing the issue since the 1980s. After initially focusing on high-income countries, it then focused on low-income countries, with unsafe disposal methods in landfills and inadequate incinerators as major concerns. Gradually, the understanding of the issue has undergone several shifts, including from a focus on the component of medical waste considered “hazardous” to all forms of waste, and from accepting medical waste as a necessary downside of high-quality healthcare to seeing the avoidance of healthcare waste as a component of high quality healthcare.

title: Will it become a trial? Determinants of clearance of intentional homicides in a Brazilian city

description: Abstract In this paper we analyzed data from police investigations and trials of intentional homicides shelved in Belo Horizonte between 2003 and 2013 in order to understand the clearance’s determinants. As independent variables, we used the characteristics of victim, crimes’ attributes and police procedures. The results inform that the homicides features and police truth-finding methods (centered on the flagrante delicto and the presence of eyewitnesses) were the variables that explained the clearance likelihood. However, the length of time may affect this result, since police inquiries that are not completed within five year are not likely to be trialed.

title: The Consolata Order and indigenous peoples in the federal territory of Rio Branco (1948-1952): approaches for implementing care

description: Abstract This study discusses the strategies used for approaching the indigenous peoples of Rio Branco by Catholic missionaries of the Consolata Order during the mid-twentieth century. Articles selected from the Missioni Consolata publication were analyzed according to text, image, and context protocol and related to the concepts of field, struggle, and social space from the viewpoint of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Two articles and six images showing strategies undertaken by the missionaries to approach indigenous people and introduce care were linked to the text and context. This analysis shows aspects of the past, without religious filters, related to the use of strategies that may pass unnoticed in politics and in discourse in favor of indigenous health.

title: Federalism and social assistance councils: an analysis from financing

description: Abstract Federalism and social participation are relevant themes in public policy studies. However, there is little dialogue between these themes, a gap that this article aims to minimize when analyzing the effects of fiscal centralization of social assistance on the functioning and results produced by the councils. Would the federative dynamics of this policy also be reproduced in the councils, differentiating national and subnational institutions? To answer this question, the article adopts qualitative analysis to identify the strengthening or the constraint of fiscal centralism in excerpts of 658 minutes and 2,364 resolutions of five cases: CNAS; the state councils of Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul; and the municipalities of Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre. The results indicate that the strong regulation of social assistance and the concentration of expenditures at the central level have important effects, promoting the strengthening of CNAS and constraints to the work of subnational councils in the definition and control of this policy in their financing.

title: PSOL versus PSOL: factions, parties and digital media

description: Abstract This paper investigates the challenges posed by social media to the directive head of the parties to define the majority discourse. The hypothesis is that in a context of party fragmentation, social media offer opportunities for internal currents to vocalize dissatisfactions and to publicly negotiate their agendas publicly, which generates external noise and hinders consensus. The case study focuses on the coalition negotiations among PSOL factions, PT, PCdoB and Rede for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro City Hall election. This study has collected public data by querying the Facebook Graph API, searching fan pages of leaders, directories, factions and local representations. The sample is composed of 189 pages, from which 54 are connected to PSOL organization and 10 factions. The findings indicate the structural distance between the communicative subsystems organized around PSOL and PT / PCdoB, with separate clusters on Facebook and a strong public discussion about the composition of the electoral alliance.

title: Lasting neoliberalism: the Washington Consensus in the Latin American Pink Tide

description: Abstract This research aims to investigate the continuity of neoliberalism in the Latin America electoral politics during the Pink Tide, showing its presence in the presidential platforms launched from 1999 to 2015. A content analysis, based on the Washington Consensus, which is a kind of neoliberal manifesto, is used as an approach in this research. The analysis used 94 platforms from 47 presidential elections that took place in 13 Latin American countries. The research reveals that neoliberalism in fact has lost ground and the Washington Consensus rules, such as privatization and reduction in public spending, have been emphatically rejected. Meanwhile the ground established by rules such as inflation control and public deficit reduction presents the neoliberal resilience during the Pink Tide, even in non-neoliberal presidential platforms. As far as it measures the presence of the Washington Consensus in Latin America political scene after 2000, this study helps to ponder on the anti-neoliberal agenda limits and the basis of the resumption of the ideology in the subcontinent.

title: Social representations of globalisation and the functioning of the metasystem in social comparison contexts: evidence from two studies in Portugal

description: Globalisation generates intense debate and contradictory positions, being a particularly relevant object of social representations (SR). This article attempts to better understand the SR of globalisation by analysing how the normative social metasystem controls, verifies and selects the material produced by the operative system in contexts of social comparison. Using a multi-method approach, we conducted two studies, with semi-structured interviews (N=30) and a free association questionnaire (N=100), in the Porto Metropolitan Area, Portugal. Results highlight how social comparison contexts trigger arguments in favour of group interests and reveal the existing power relations between groups. The importance of identifying the relations that guide thinking about social objects and the applicability of SR theory for understanding complex, controversial, sociopolitical objects are discussed.

title: Between risks and threats: independence and oversight power of the Brazilian Federal Audit Court in the 1988 Constituent Assembly

description: Abstract Why would political actors take the risk of being controlled in the future by independent anti- corruption institutions? The paper intends to explain what motivates politicians to give independence and power to these institutions, even they are under the risk of being controlled in the future. With the process tracing method, this paper gathers evidence regarding the institutional design of the Brazilian Federal Audit Court that was approved during the Constituent Assembly in 1988. The result shows that, regardless of the politicians’ preferences, anti-corruption institutions purchase greater power through threats against the survival of political actors in contexts of future uncertainty. This diagnosis questions whether the independent anti-corruption institutions actually are an output of democratic competition, since these are not always a straight result from the majority preferences of elected representatives.

title: Effects of ideologically biased journalistic treatment in cognitive processing of political information. An experimental approach

description: Abstract Recognizing the conditions of polarization of the current media market, salient features of the cognitive processing of textual political information of conjunctural importance (real press news from contrasting ideological sources) are addressed. By applying an inter-subject experimental design of random groups (with an independent variable that assumes four levels) without a control group, the effects of ideologically biased journalistic treatment on information processing of local audiences are analyzed. Likewise, the modulating role of variables as ‘need for cognition’ and ‘ideological self-placement’ is valued. Among the main results, a pro-attitudinal pattern and a longer exposure time to non-family sources are confirmed, together with a connection between perception of bias, assessment of the topic and opinion about the source, variable by according to participants’ self-positioning, among other factors that show a selective logic of self-referential and defensive consumption.

title: Public opinion and new communication strategies in the audiovisual industry: the case of Netflix and Sense8

description: Abstract Streaming audiovisual operators are breaking the contemporary audiovisual ecosystem with a growing and majority influence in urban young people, firstly, to constitute a serious competition for traditional television channels. In addition to this, social networks and the interactivity that audiovisual contents provide with audiences are also a paradigm change in public activity. In this context, this article analyzes the situation of public opinion and communicative crisis that occurred from the cancellation of content (the Sense8 series of Netflix, 2017) and the impact on social networks (Twitter). Among its conclusions is a novel strategy by this new audiovisual company to respond and integrate in their discourse and productive practices the demands of their audiences.
