title: Press Crimes in São Paulo’s Courts of Justice (1859-1935)

description: Abstract For about a century, between the enactment of the Criminal Code in 1830 and the Decree no. 24,776 of July 14, 1934, the Lawsuits of Autographs’ were preparatory lawsuits that preceded the filing of libel and slander court cases. Consequently, based on a series of these proceedings judged in the counties of Campinas and Bragança, between 1859 and 1935, this article analyzes the impact of the expansion of the typographic mesh in São Paulo’s state countryside, attentive to the transformations imposed by the arrival of presses and newspapers in the daily lives of men and women alike. Therefore, in addition to analyzing the reading practices in societies marked by significant illiteracy rates, the research investigates the nexus between print and legal culture in Brazil at a time when the new constitutional regimes of the 19th century had to deal with the control and legal regulation of print production and circulation.

title: The War Auxiliaries of the “Armed Nation” (1942-1945)

description: Abstract This article analyses the creation of militarized auxiliary war groups, composed by women, who worked in the cities of Santos, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the period of 1942-1945. Using news papers, photographs and oral sources I discuss the place of war auxiliaries within the politics of the Armed Nation. Excluded from the official History of the Brazilian Army, and devoid of military status, about 3000 women gaigned military knowledge and performed such activities in that period. The evocation of a certain “military female” would only be repeated in Brazil in the late 1980s. In the midst of the political use of the war by the varguismo, these women were simultaneously invoked as caregivers and as a significant part of the nation’s brave rearguard. Women, in general, as political propaganda, were a centerpiece in weaving the nation beyond the private and the domestic spheres. The war auxiliaries, in particular, were patriotically militarized and characterized as fearless women, who were responsible for the city and its population.

title: Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in truck drivers and associated factors

description: Background:professional drivers can be subject to occupational musculoskeletal problems.Objective:to estimate the prevalence of musculoskeletal spine pain among truck drivers and identify the associated factors in a 12 month period prior to the research.Method:a cross-sectional study conducted in 2007 involving all 460 male truck drivers from a freight company. Information on sociodemographic, occupational and health factors was collected through a questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were carried out to determine the association between musculoskeletal spine pain and the investigated factors.Results:prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was 53.5%, the highest being related to the spine column (38.5%) and the lumbar spine (28%). Factors associated with spine pain were: bad sleeping, tension resulting from fear of being attacked, killed, becoming ill or getting involved in accidents, as well as stress, tension and fatigue caused by discomfort.Conclusion:high prevalence of lumbar spine pain in the studied population was associated with external stressors, including fear of accidents and robberies, as well as those directly related to work organization such as fatigue resulting from lack of pauses and restrictions on sleeping hours, which leads to poor sleep quality.

title: Comet assay as a biomarker of genotoxicity to assess occupational exposure to benzene in gas-station attendants and fuel analysts

description: Abstract Introduction: gas-station attendants and fuel analysts are exposed to various volatile organic compounds found in gasoline, including benzene, which stands out because of its toxicological significance. Objective: to assess occupational exposure to benzene using the comet assay as a biomarker of genotoxicity in comparison to the urinary trans, trans muconic acid (ttMA) as benzene exposure biomarker. Methods: cross-sectional study using biomarkers of exposure and genotoxicity analyses in a group of workers occupationally exposed to benzene from gasoline compared with a control group. Results: the comet assay results showed that the mean (standard deviation) damage index, in arbitrary units, in the exposed group, 28.4 (10.1), was significantly higher than in the non-exposed group, 18.4 (10.1). The mean value of urinary ttMA was significantly higher in the exposed group, 1.13 (0.45), compared to the non-exposed group, 0.44 (0.33). Both biomarkers showed a linear correlation r = 0.81 (p&lt;0.05) indicating a strong association between the exposure biomarker and the biomarker effect. Conclusion: the results suggest that a greater occupational exposure to benzene is associated to an increased risk of genotoxic damage among individuals exposed to gasoline.

title: Occupational exposure to pesticides, risks and safety practices in family farming in a municipality of Espírito Santo, Brazil

description: Abstract Objective: to characterize occupational exposure, risk perception, safety practices and factors associated with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during pesticide handling. Methods: cross-sectional study with a representative sample of farmers from Santa Maria de Jetibá, Espírito Santo, Brazil. We collected sociodemographic and occupational data of farmers directly exposed to pesticides and identified the active ingredients and toxicological classification of the pesticides used. Results: 106 trademarks, 45 chemical groups and 77 active ingredients were identified. There was a predominance of the herbicide glyphosate. Of the 550 farmers evaluated, 89% reported using extremely toxic pesticides, 56.3% used more than five different agrochemicals, and 51% worked for over 20 years in direct contact with these products. Half of them did not read the label, more than a third did not observe the pre-harvest, reapplication, or reentry intervals; 71.4% used incomplete PPE or none. Factors associated with non-use of PPE include socioeconomic class (p = 0.002), low educational level (p = 0.05), lack of technical support (p &lt; 0.001) and non-reading of labels (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: farmers have prolonged occupational exposure to multiple high toxicity pesticides, referring to unsafe handling practices.

title: Musculoskeletal disorders in distal upper extremities among women and men: results of a study in the industry sector

description: Abstract Objective: to study the association between musculoskeletal disorders in distal upper extremities (MSDUE) and the variable sex in the plastic industry. Method: cross-sectional study with 577 workers. The MSDUE was defined by the presence of pain in the previous twelve months, lasting for more than one week or having a monthly frequency, causing work restrictions or search for medical care, or severity ≥ 3 (from 0 to 5), in at least one of these regions: fingers, wrists, hands, forearms or elbows. Covariates of interest were: physical and psychosocial demands at work, sociodemographic and lifestyle-related variables, physical fitness and household work. Multiple logistic regression was used in order to investigate statistical interaction and presence of confounding variables. Results: MSDUE occurrence was higher among women, independently of the tested work-related and outside of work demands. Physical fitness was the interaction variable, and psychosocial demands was the confounding variable. Men who referred good physical fitness presented lower prevalence compared with those with poor physical fitness. Among women, good physical fitness was not enough to significantly reduce their high musculoskeletal morbidity. Conclusion: differences in work-related exposure do not explain the higher morbidity among women. It is necessary to consider sex differences, either socially determined or related to biomechanics, resulting in distinct responses to work demands.

title: Environmental assessment of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) and biomarkers of genotoxicity in gas stations workers

description: Abstract Introduction: gas station workers are exposed to several chemicals in their workplace, highlighting benzene, due to its carcinogenic properties. Objective: to assess the genotoxic damage related to occupational exposure to BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) in workers of five gas stations in Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Methods: analysis of BTEX concentrations in the air were carried out; as well as activities of catalase and glutathione S-transferase; and comet assay in whole blood samples of 97 workers. Results: BTEX levels were within the Brazilian threshold levels recommended by the NR 15, including Annex 13-A. However, an oscillation of the comet assay results was observed among workers of different gas stations, mainly in workers from gas stations with lower concentrations of benzene. Discussion: this result is in accordance with the current international scientific literature that indicates a supralinear exposure-response curve for benzene. In lower concentrations we could observe a high non-linear risk of leukemia, probably due to a greater benzene metabolism and a higher production of its toxic metabolites. Conclusion: the results of this study suggest that exposure to BTEX, even in low concentrations, contributes to genotoxic risk to human health.

title: Anxiety disorders as a cause of work absenteeism

description: Abstract Introduction: mental and behavioral disorders (MBD) are among the main causes of lost workdays. Anxiety disorders are the second cause of work absenteism. Objective: to identify and analyze evidence available in literature about work absenteism due to anxiety disorders. Methods: integrative literature review, with no publication year limits and with controlled subject headings, using the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (Lilacs), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline) and Nursing Database (BDENF). Results: the final selection consisted of 13 articles, the oldest published in 2006 and the most recent in 2016. Work absences due to anxiety disorders had as main risk factors the environment and working conditions, with a negative impact for both, the worker‘s and the employer‘s health. Discussion: evidence indicates a high prevalence of anxiety disorders as cause of work absenteeism and of the high demand for increasing social security costs. Knowing the worker‘s illness profile contributes to identify the MBD risk factors, and helps in proposing intervention strategies aimed at reducing work absenteism.
