This paper aims to understand how violent deaths suffered by common people and their media coverage are approached in the field of Communication, focusing on the sense-making processes about violence and its structural nature. In order to do so, we analysed papers about the media coverage around murders, published in 26 journals in the field of Communication, classified as A2 and B1 in the Brazilian "Qualis Capes" ranking. Based on the ways of identifying the victims and the circumstances of their deaths, in interaction with the ways of naming such violence, presented in the papers' empirical and analytical dimensions, we designed an overview of the silences and absences in the epistemic constructions about violence in media and academia in Brazil.

This paper analyzes the recent productive restructuring process inside the Imperatriz state of Maranhão territory, by the production chain of paper and cellulose. To achieve this objective, it presents the transformations created by this process from three strands: increase of the plantation area to grow eucalyptus, the mobility of the capital by the transportation facilities of raw material and labor force specialization, presenting the data of the cities that produce eucalyptus and its expansion based in the plantation area increase. Besides that, it maps the expansion of the paper and cellulose industries in Brazil and its logistics that transports the raw material. In addition, it presents the data of labor transformations based on the changes in the labor market, technical and college education. This is achieved presenting the cartographic and photo production, from statistical data of the Brazilian wood industry, from the annual report of social information, from the general registry of employed and unemployed people, labor statistics dissemination program and local teaching institutions.

This paper aims to investigate the Compós' WG papers: Epistemology of Communication and Communication and Cyberculture. The objective is to test the hypothesis that the field of communication in Brazil is still not very sensitive to neomaterialists theories, and that approaches to objects and to the field as a whole are developed under an anthropocentric perspective. 60 papers were analyzed. The data show that among the 37 texts with evident epistemological position, 62% are anthropocentric, and 13% non-anthropocentric, 50% are in Communication and Cyberculture WG, and 71% in Epistemology of Communication WG. Due to the non-probabilistic approach used in this investigation, we cannot generalize the findings. However, the results support our hypothesis, pointing out that although it is rising, anthropocentric perspectives still predominate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the work of nursing technicians in Brazil, in primary health care and hospital emergency. 48 interviews were analyzed; their scripts sought to understand who these workers are, how they build the relationships between training and labor insertion, and how they perceive social relations at work. From the analyzes emerged three thematic categories: the (un)predictable trajectories of nursing technicians and the search for a more socially recognized work; times of precariousness of the ways of being a worker and the sufferings of the work of the nursing technicians; only dissatisfaction or multiple possibilities of implication with the work? A tendency for the training of super-qualified technicians is configured, who keep on, to a great extent, performing the same activities, with little freedom of choice in their professional trajectories. The results show overload and difficult working conditions, which coexist with the presence of feelings of satisfaction associated with the affinity with the production of care, the resolubility of care and learning.

The objective of this research is to identify the roles performed by managers of incubators and incubated companies, in the light of Mintzberg's studies on the nature of managerial work, as well as to emphasize the administrative functions performed by them. The directors of five incubators located in Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, Brazil and thirteen managers of the incubated companies participated in the study through a structured questionnaire. The results show that the most important roles played by incubator managers are monitor, leader, contact and disseminator. The most cited roles performed by the managers of the incubated companies are the leader, entrepreneur, contact and resource allocator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to analyze the association of environmental regulation with the adoption of both proactive and reactive eco-innovation strategies in the Brazilian pulp, paper, and paper product industry. Methodology was based on a quantitative approach, using a cross-sectional survey by means of a self-administered online questionnaire answered by 117 sector companies of all sizes and Brazilian regions. Data analysis consisted of inferential statistics with logistic regression analysis. The main results show that the organizations participating in this study consider environmental regulation as conducive of proactive, more than reactive, eco-innovation strategies, as opposed to previous literature. This result fits into the evolutionary perspective, which postulates that companies see environmental regulation as less a cost and more an opportunity, directing them to improve productivity and competitiveness.

This article is a reflection on the processes of land regularization enacted by the section 68 of the Temporary Constitutional Provisions Act of 1988 in Brazil and its deployment in the State administrative routines.We believe that new elements have been imposed and we should consider them when thinking about reparation policies and recognition of the recipients of these constitutional provisions. We use the expression "the battle of papers" to refer to the negotiations obstructed by the State notarial procedures. Efforts will be made to show the situations in which the struggle for social recognition challenges the idea in which it is conceived that the runaway slaves demand is merely territorial. Observed in their various confrontations, these processes conceal a moral vocation, led by the runaway slaves, that overflows the logical demand for the "World of papers" and allows us to visualize the tensions on the ways of materializing, moved from orality to writing, conducted by notions of science and permeated by notary logic.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the germination viability of jabuticaba açu [Plinia cauliflora (DC.) Berg] seed, according to conditions and the storage time. The experiment was carried out at UTFPR - Câmpus Dois Vizinhos, Brazil. The seeds were separated into two groups, with one it remained a mucilage surrounding the seed and without mucilage. The seeds with and without mucilage were put in Pet® bottle, paper Kraft® bag at natural condition temperature and paper Kraft® bag in the refrigerator (6 °C ± 1 °C), which it was stored during 8 periods (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 60 days). After each period, the seeds were sown in Gerbox boxes without lid containing sand as substrate and it taken to BOD at 25 °C without photoperiod. The experiment was completely randomized in a factorial 2 x 8 x 3 (presence of mucilage x storage period x storage location), with 4 replications of 50 seeds each experimental unit. The seeds without mucilage, in PET® bottle were with viability until 30 days of storage, with 80% emergence until fifth day to Kraft® paper. With mucilage, on Kraft® paper, the seeds kept viability unchanged until twenty days of storage. The mucilage of the jabuticaba açu seeds should be removed and then stored in a PET® bottle at room temperature. These conditions allow no compromise of emergency and vigor for a maximum of 25 days.

Brazil has been presenting in the last years a scientific production well-recognized in the international scenario, in several areas of knowledge, according to the impact of their publications in important events and especially in indexed journals of wide circulation. On the other hand, the country does not seem to be in the same direction regarding to the technological production and wealth creation from the established scientific development, and particularly from the applied research. The present paper covers such issue and discloses the main similarities and differences between a scientific paper and a patent application, in order to contribute to a better understanding of both types of documents and help the researchers to chose and select the results with technological potential, decide what is appropriated for industrial protection, as well as foster new business opportunities for each technology which has been created.

This paper seeks to work with the various images of indigenous musical instruments found within Brazilian information literature from the 16th to the 19th century. They are read as a form of language and we seek for them a place within the history of art. Several were the travelers who left us images of colonial and imperial times in Brazil. The images used by travelers often had the function of confirming written texts from the information literature. These images were seeking a place of speech within the written texts and should also be included and thought within the artistic field. However, how can art history deal with these images? We try to analyze the possible discourses of meaning related to such images and to seek a place for them in the artistic tradition. Our research for this text was based on bibliographic and imagery sources and our analysis sought, qualitatively, to understand the place of such images and their speeches. The partial results show that the images of indigenous musical instruments of the 16th century refer to the exotic, the estrangement in relation to the objects of the Brazilian natives. In the 19th century, such images are more organized and show the creativity and inventiveness of Brazilian natives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The creation of the Capes Portal for periodicals was a milestone for the Brazilian scientific community. The Portal allowed researchers to have access to the database and to thousands of scientific journals worldwide. To verify the importance of this milestone, scientific papers published by 200 researchers from graduate courses in the Biological and Health Sciences at the University of Brasilia were evaluated with respect to: i) the number of references; ii) if the references were written as international or local papers; and iii) if those articles were of quality, as determined by Capes. The evaluated papers were from 1995 to 2005, five years (1995-1999) before of creation of Portal (2000), and five years afterwards (2001-2005). This investigation concluded that with the creation of the Capes Portal for periodicals, the researchers increased the number of references and the number of international citations in their articles and also augmented the quality of the publications mentioned in their texts.

After 10 years of digital proceedings for Enanpad (the largest academic business conference in Brazil), this would seem to be a good time to evaluate how its Information Management field is performing. The fact that all papers published in the proceedings during this period of time are available in electronic media makes it easy for studies to be carried out that use that huge amount of available electronic data. This paper presents the findings of a quantitative study that involved handling the data contained in 9.289 references included in the 339 papers published in the proceedings of the Information Management field in Enanpad, from 1997 to 2006. Amongst the most significant results is the identification of the authors, universities, journals, publishers and scientific events that inspire researchers in the IS field in Brazil.

This paper analyzes the temporal evolution of scientific accounting research in Brazil and the relationship between as normative and positive approaches. In order to do so, this study was based on documental descriptive research of papers submitted at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of the Post-Graduation Programs in Management (ENANPADs), from 1996 to 2005. Bibliometrics (Lotka's Law) was used to assess the productivity of the authors of the papers. The results are consistent with the results obtained by Fülbier and Sellhorn (2006) in Europe and reveal that authors predominantly adopt a positive approach, few researchers use the two approaches and confirm that Brazilian researchers have a lower productivity in comparison to those who publish in English-language periodicals.

This article aims to outline a profile of Controllership research in papers published in the annals of the National Association of Post-Graduate Programs and Research in Business Administration (EnANPAD) meeting and the USP Controllership and Accountancy Congress, from 2001 to 2006. The adopted research methodology comprised an exploratory study, with documentary analysis and a quantitative approach. The research results showed the main themes of these works, the adopted research methods, the different approaches to the study of Controllership, the researchers' affiliations and the bibliography consulted and referenced in the articles. It was concluded that, even though more papers were published in 2005, the volume is still small when compared to other themes focused on at these events. The small number of articles may also have been influenced by the search technique employed for selecting works, using the words Controllership, Controller, Management Accounting and Management Control, contained in the title, abstract or keywords. Nevertheless, this study is relevant to the extent that it contributes to the identifi cation of the qualitative and quantitative evolution of Controllership research in Brazil.

Research and Development in the field of wood science in Brazil began in the mid-1900s and involved a few laboratories of research institutions and universities. There was no R&D strategy for the area at the time. Forestry Engineering Courses, created in the 1960s, basically graduated silviculturists. In the early 1970s the only laboratory, in the area of wood science of the Forest Engineering Course, was wood anatomy. In the same decade, the creation of the FUPEF, the Freiburg Agreement and the Post-Graduation Course were important factors to promote R&D related to wood. Agreements as well as cooperation with the private sector were important for the formation of critic mass for the installation and operation of laboratories in the area. To attend the market demand, it was since the beginning, one of the priorities in the design of R&D projects in the area of Technology and Use of Forest Products. Over the years, professors from various disciplines, including wood anatomy, characterization and quality, standardization and certification, structural applications and products, drying, biodegradation and preservation, wood panels, energy, supply and logistics, chemistry, pulp and paper, have implemented several projects. A large part of the R&D program considered cooperation agreements and national and international partnerships. Future topics in the area of wood science focus on innovation. R&D will increasingly involve aspects related to nanotechnology, process automation, value-added products, reduction of energy consumption, and mitigation of environmental impacts in processing and use, and improvement of process efficiency. The main objective of the work will be to increase productivity to guarantee the sustainability and competitiveness of the Brazilian forestry industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work is to scale and do a descriptive review of the scientific literature on costs in the public sector, in the period from 2000 to 2010, in the electronic annals of Brazilian events of National Association of Postgraduate Studies and Research in Administration (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração (ANPAD)), Brazilian Association of Costs (Associação Brasileira de Custos (ABC)) and Congress of Controlling and Accounting at the University of Sao Paulo (Congresso de Controladoria e Contabilidade da Universidade de São Paulo (USP)). This review revealed that the most used research techniques in publications were interviews and documentary analysis and that the most discussed and suggested costing method for the public sector was the Activity-Based Cost (ABC).

This paper discusses memories and historical meanings of the idea of "persecution of samba" during the First Republic in Brazil. Based on the analysis of oral testimonies of black musicians and on the historiography of the post-abolition period in Rio de Janeiro, I argue that, though it seems imprecise under the criteria of academic historiography, this idea fulfills the political function of underlining and not letting be forgotten a historical context of racial violence, that is linked to music, but not restricted to it. Its inclusion in the historiography of samba is, therefore, a relative victory for the worldview of black communities in their negotiations with more powerful groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

I investigate the relationship between unethical culture and financial performance based on a text analysis of over 100,000 employee reviews posted at Glassdoor in Brazil. An original measure of unethical culture is created based on five ethical dimensions companies need to avert for an ethical culture to flourish. After creating an original list of around 1,400 terms, I find that companies scoring higher in unethical culture are less profitable and that this relationship is likely to be economically relevant. Of the five dimensions that make up an unethical culture, organizational unfairness, lack of awareness, and fear of retaliation are the three most strongly negatively related to performance. To my knowledge, this is the first paper to document a link between (un)ethical culture and corporate performance using online reviews. For investors, this paper contributes by showing that ethical culture measured by employee reviews is a value-relevant source of information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

this paper is part of a survey carried out with Haitian evangelical communities in Brazil during the doctorate period in Religious Studies. This paper aims to discuss the religious beliefs of evangelical Haitians in Brazil, linked to a worldview on migration. The methodology adopted for the research comprises a bibliographic survey, ethnography and open interviews. As part of the results obtained, it is possible to verify that Haitian migrations are part of the history of Haiti and are related to political and economic crises and natural disasters, and that religious beliefs permeate this process. We conclude that Haitians have a specific way of understanding migratory processes, which we call the migratory worldview, and that it was fostered by religious beliefs in the researched group.

This is a theoretical study with a bibliographical and documental approach that was conducted during my PhD. This paper analyzes the structuring of the geriatric/gerontological field, examining the concepts of active aging and functionality, outlining, in particular, the alignment of such terms with the prevention and health promotion movements. The discourse that has become hegemonic in the area is the behavioral emphasis with a highlight on changes in lifestyles. The prevailing discourse announces the aging and illness process increasingly as a result of growing individual (and/or family) efforts, independent of public policies. In this sense, the paper discusses the repercussions of this self-preservationist conception in the context of public policies and highlights the importance of greater investment by researchers in the area, in the sense of building more critical mediations, unveiling the complex contradictions that mark the aging of the working class in Brazil.

In this paper, I return to the concept of epistolarium, proposed by Stanley (2004) and to how this notion finds in the idea of the letter as an act (LEJEUNE, 2008), a place/non-place of its forms and nonspecificity. Thus, I discuss the development of an e-pistolary by indigenous peoples, through a critical analysis of the letters published in the website/archive “As cartas dos povos indígenas ao Brasil” (Letters of the indigenous peoples to Brazil). Initially, I define what I call indigenous e-pistolary, and how its organization differs from epistolary archives of renowned writers. I do so to defend the idea that the letters written by the indigenous people are the new letters of Brazil: a path to a discussion about indigenous postal art and the place of their letters in Brazilian literature and history.

Given the growing migratory movement of Venezuelans to Brazil, the state of Roraima occupies a prominent place in the dynamics of reception of crisis migrants of Venezuelan origin. In this context, this paper aims to reflect on the representation of the Venezuelan as an "invader" in the midst of xenophobic manifestations of part of the population of Roraima and the Spanish language represented as "the language of the invader". The theoretical framework is based on applied linguistics with debates on language and crisis migration. The methodology used was qualitative and interpretativist, with clippings of oral narratives of crisis migrants living in Roraima generated in a focus group activity. The results point out that the representation of the "invading" migrant is present in Roraima's society by both Brazilians and foreigners, and the use of the Spanish language may influence the way these people are treated in the state.

This article explores the impact of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on Brazilian Naturology over the last decades. It evaluates the incorporation of TCM principles and practices into Brazilian naturology courses, emphasizing the historical and cultural factors that have influenced this health movement. The paper contends that the integration of TCM has significantly influenced the development of naturology in Brazil, providing essential insights into its progression. However, it points out that the TCM training in Brazilian naturology does not meet the World Health Organization's recommendations. The article delves into the appropriation of TCM knowledge through Orientalism, noting that Chinese-born instructors are often employed merely as tokens to draw students instead of being assigned active, meaningful roles in the classroom.

The present paper intends to briefly provide a historical panorama of the public policies that shaped housing in Portugal and Brazil. In a sequential approach, it elaborates on the initial enterprises and actions towards housing issues, going through periods of dictatorship and re-democratization, until reaching current times of intensive financing in Portugal and the shift of housing policies in fostering the economy of Brazil. Subsequently, some general analyses and comparisons of these routes are introduced, dealing with the social impact of the considered policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper highlights the therapeutic aspects in a religious-based social movement that occurred in Jaguaripe city, Bahia, in the 16th century, by identifying and analyzing the sequence of events that led a young indigenous man to separate from his group and convert to Christianity following Jesuit religious teachings and, once again, to separate himself from everyday life and fleeing to the backwoods. He returned to join local society again after experiencing profound transition, appropriation of elaborate rhetoric and foundation of a complex native sect which attracted followers among indigenous people, enslaved and freed black people, as well as the caraíbas. We assume that the experience of social suffering and the promise of renovation of life have been fundamental for the unification of all in the aforementioned belief, in search of a new understanding of the movement known as "Santidade de Jaguaripe" by comparing with similar processes and theoretical interpretations in other studies.

Background: The quest for new energy sources is one of the most significant aspects of the renewed environmental consciousness that prevails in the contemporary world. The omnipresent use of fossil fuels and other harmful sources became one of the principal worries of the political and scientific communities, that since the past century started a campaign in search of alternatives. Aims: The aim of was to discuss contributions of energy recovery derived from MSU to the Brazilian panorama of electrical sources, adopting circular economy applied to a municipality. Methods: a revision of the literature was undertaken, to gather concepts and cases, taking circular economy, waste management and municipality as keywords. Results: The gathered papers present the prominence of circular economy in the intellectual scenario of environmental debate; also, a lack in previous treatment of collected residue, especially the sorting of materials by population, which impacts negatively the recovery. Discussion: The key aspects of the problem include promoting popular engagement in the cycle, identified as an important asset for a successful process. This includes the latin american scenario, that began to change recently with pilot plans implemented in some regions. The efficient way is to engage both industry and population in the process. Conclusions: One of the cleaners panoramas of energy sources, such facility could be installed in Brazil, following a south American upraising that already has Santa Rosa, Peru, and Barueri, in Brazil itself. An opportunity to develop regions and municipalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Occupational safety and health are ongoing concerns for many organizations, especially for economic sectors that are leaders in work-related accidents, such as the food industry. An established safety culture is essential to support the development and successful progress of any safety management program. Therefore, monitoring the maturity of a company's safety culture is required for change planning and continuous improvement to ensure a safe workplace. This paper aims to assess the maturity degree of the safety culture of a multinational food industry, representing one of the segments with more occupational accidents in Brazil. An exploratory and descriptive research was developed, with a quantitative approach and based on a case study strategy. The manufacturing sector showed a mature safety culture, with a predominance of the sustainable level (58%), while the administration segment presented a high dispersion of data, incurring in a safety culture between the bureaucratic (23%), proactive (29%), and sustainable (33%) degrees. Safety at work was found to be associated with variables of different natures and the diagnosis carried out in this paper points out that the implementation of an organizational culture focused on safety requires a holistic view that goes beyond the technical aspects of the activity or the employees' attributes, encompassing social and organizational elements, as well as the characteristics of each sector that must be considered by leaders for safety management to be effective.

The paper discusses Bacurau, by Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles, focusing, from the perspective of materialist-dialectical criticism in a country of dependent capitalism, the treatment of the modern-archaic binomial and melancholy, in which appear, as allegories, Brazilian artistic works. The paper also debates the figurations around the nation project, social transformation, and the resistance of the popular classes in contemporary Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since 2007, there has been a significant increase in eucalyptus planting in the eastern region of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil. Eucalyptus planting takes the place of extensive livestock farming by the leasing or purchasing of land from farmers in the region. The "green desert" is growing to the point of having a direct impact on the social and spatial organization of the two main rural communities in the region, Arapuá and Garcias, which were established with the families of rural workers on cattle farms and on the settlers of the districts. With the territorialization of the eucalyptus-pulp-paper complex in the region, there has been a major rural exodus, impacting the social and cultural characteristics that made the communities' identity, generating a notable environmental imbalance. This paper proposes to understand these changes, based on the reading made by the residents themselves regarding the arrival of eucalyptus and on how these transformations in land use and capitalist appropriation of the territory changed the territorial identity of these rural communities. The study is based on the theoretical and methodological approach of social geography, which considers the subject at the center of territorial productions. Therefore, qualitative research methodologies are used, based on semi-structured interviews, to identify the extent of the changes that have occurred. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aimed to characterise Brazilian participation in the Summer Paralympic Games between 1972-2020 and relate it to the historical-national, political and Brazilian Paralympic Committee's strategic plan for the paralympic cycles. This paper also intended to compare Brazilian's results with the best-ranked countries in Rio 2016. Until 2020, the Brazilian delegation was represented by 774 athletes, 251 of whom were medalists (70.9% men and 29.1% women) in 17 different sports, four collective and thirteen individuals. Regarding disability type, 64.9% of the medalist athletes have a physical impairment, 32.3% visual impairment and 2.8% intellectual impairment. During the analysed period, Brazil won 373 medals: 109 gold (29.2%), 132 silver (35.4%) and 132 bronze (35.4%). In conclusion, it is possible to highlight that the improvement in public policies, strategic plans and investments has favoured Brazilian's results. In the last four Paralympic cycles, Brazil could consolidate itself, winning the largest number of medals in 2016 and reaching third place in accumulated growth (3.2%) between 1988-2020, surpassed only by China and Ukraine.

This paper presents an analysis of two groups of songs produced in Brazil by Seventh- Day Adventist Church: the songs published in youth-oriented hymnals in the 1970s and the praise songs recorded between the years 2000-2020. Our analysis is based on the notion of habitus according to Bourdieu (1983; 2007) and Wacquant (2007) and proposes that the singularities of this musical repertoire result from a process of filtering elements from the liturgical and evangelical musical modernization that comes from mental dispositions set off by the assimilation of the Adventist principle of stewardship. In order to show that the concept of habitus can explain how theological thought schemes guide Adventist music production, this paper has three sections: an exposition of the theoretical foundation from the notion of habitus; an explanation of the stewardship principle as interpreted by Adventism, followed by an observation of this principle in Adventist music; finally, an examination of the filtering processes of elements of music, lyrics and performance distinguished in that musical repertoire.

Why had the neoliberal and antipopular reforms occurred at Brazil (during Bolsonaro's government) been extensively supported by its people? To answer this question, this paper uses the concept of disaster capitalism to define neoliberalism as a political program that constitutes a specific rationality. This concept, however, turned out to be insufficient to explain the subjective mechanisms involved in the popular support to the reforms. The hypothesis of melancholy - based on the freudian psychoanalysis - was used as a resort, since it uses the identification processes to explain popular submission to a leader, even though their political program is consisted in antipopular reforms and the dismantling of the brazilian State.

This paper aims to verify the income differential between pluriactive, agricultural and non-agricultural families in rural Brazil. For this purpose, the microdata the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) of 2014 were used, through non parametric method of Ñopo (2008) was used. The results showed that pluriactive households earn approximately 64% the more than agricultural households and around 6% the less than non-agricultural households. Econometric estimates reinforced income disparities favorable of pluriactive households (0.1169 Lnw) in relation to agricultural households, and negative income differentials (-0.0647 Lnw) for pluriactivity, compared to non agricultural activity.

The following article analyzes the script Seven Tropical Sins, written by Manuel Puig in 1986 during his exile in Brazil. By commenting on one of its scenes and, in particular, on the composition of the leading actress Sônia Braga, we will seek to show how Puig sought to construct a script for a film that would be consumed by a wide Brazilian audience, designed in line with the interests of the foreign industry and, likewise, governed by the parameters of the Hollywood cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, the author's favorite cinema age. In this way, this paper seeks to show how this all ties up in Braga's leading role and in the operations that Puig performs to take and, in turn, displace the images attached to her figure since the mid-seventies.

The paper investigates the path of the profit rate and its components in Brazil between 1950 and 2020. The high growth in developmentalism, 1950-1980, in contrast to the great stagnation in neoliberalism, 1980-2020, is interpreted based on the rate of profit and its components: the profit share, the productivity of capital and the level of capacity utilization. The fall in the rate of profit due to the decline in capital productivity resulted in a slowdown in the rate of capital accumulation and economic growth. In the 1980-2020 period there was a structural break in the relationship between productive investment and profits with the adoption of neoliberalism, the same profit rate resulted in lower capital accumulation. The great stagnation is explained by the fall in the profit rate and the adoption of neoliberalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper intends to investigate if there is, and if it exists, the depth of the relationship between the consolidation of higher education in Brazil and the culture of higher education enforced nowadays. The first graduation course was inaugurated in 1808, with the foundation of the School of Surgery and Anatomy in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, and until now, even after the proclamation of Brazilian independence, continues aiming to provide manpower skills to fulfill liberal and manpower skills for the state bureaucracy. The pragmatic disdain for areas considered futile or unnecessary in a State that aimed to reach a certain level of production and industrialization was not only present in colonial culture but also in public policies to promote courses and research between fields of study considered essential or nonessential, in the 21st century; as well as the centralization of chair decisions in the hands of the Emperor and the reserving of the rector's free choice by the head of the Executive (federal or state) are tangible remnants of an alienating national project. In order to achieve these objectives, historical studies will be analyzed on the discussions during the implementation of higher education courses in Brazil, as well as the courses authorized to operate and documents of university deliberations from the beginning of the 19th century, as well as the direction of the research funding notices launched, and public policies for access to higher education.

Current paper presents a correct interpretation of Law 14176/2021 and its requirements to comply with the Brazilian Constitution. Discussion on the law of the Continuous Aid Scheme is undertaken to see whether it implements the principle of the dignity of the human person, fundamental rights and the rights of the person, especially within the context of the economic crisis caused by Covid-19 pandemic. Decision-taking on who will implement social aid policies either by the law maker when establishing the judicial norm or by the executive when examining administrative requests should not be exercised within the abstract stance of tutelage of fundamental rights without examining the implementation costs of rights and impact on budget. This is especially true when once takes into account that Brazil is a periphery country with scanty resources and high demand in basic services. However, the democratic, social and lawful State cannot put on a secondary plane economically and socially impaired people. The State has the basic duty to protect vulnerable people, a duty hailing from fundamental rights. The hypothesis-deduction is the method employed in current paper. Hypothesis placed deal with the Continuous Aid Scheme for people with deficiency according to Law 14176/2021 materializes the lawful social State by the tutelage of the dignity of socially and economically impaired people. Theoretical discussion is based on bibliographical research based on Scopus and EBSco data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reinforcing the term proposed by Queixalós & Renault-Lescure (2000, pp. 9-11) in the title, this paper aims to establish relations between the colonial history of Brazil and the policies for language teaching in our country since the beginning of the colonization, in order to analyze traces of linguistic coloniality that are still present nowadays. Through an analysis of the history of language teaching in Brazil (BESSA FREIRE, 2018; GRILLI, 2018; LUCCHESI, 2017; SAVIANI, 2007; SILVA & FAVORITO, 2018), with a theoretical basis in decolonial thinking (FANON, 2008; SOUSA). SANTOS, 2019; VERONELLI, 2015), this paper delimits three effects of the coloniality of language. It is argued that these three effects were launched by the abyssal exclusion of non-white peoples during the colonial period, but they persist firmly in contemporary Brazil. Finally, language education is defended as an emancipating alternative to the civilizing monolingualism, as a way to welcome the multiplicity of knowledges and speeches of the Brazilian people.

Societies, throughout history, have created codes with the aim of guiding relations between groups and people. In Brazil, manuals of etiquette and civility were used with the pretense of forming an emerging bourgeoisie, desirous of appearing good manners, especially in the early decades of the twentieth century. This article is a result of research on women's daily life from 1940 to 1960. Four civility and etiquette manuals were used as empirical sources, aiming at a historical review of aspects of women's life, in the context of Brazil, with the purpose of recovering a history based on invisibility. The analyzed manuals were consulted by elite women who mirrored themselves in them to perform behavioral roles in society and allowed to describe sparse fragments of women's lives by the large number of social rules that normalized their behavior.

The present study aims to discuss a historical record of Brazil, based on a complimentary and even euphoric look, about it in the British newspaper The Economist during the second term of former President Lula. The vehicle is regarded by economists and financial market experts from around the world as the bible of world liberalism; with this "brand" The Economist goes from panic with the imminent victory of the former union leader in 2002 to enthusiasm for the former Head of State of Latin America's greatest economic power house in less than a decade! This paper, with theoretical foundation surrounded by discourse analysis and important folkcommunicational aspects, makes a return to a recent historical past, however, extremely distant from the current Brazilian reality, in which the crisis permeates various sectors and the folk language, light, peaceful gave way to the discourse of "denialism" in the face of social demands of emergency order, as is the case of hunger, employment, public health. Finally, what was "marolinha" in the economy of the Lula Government, turning into praise and example for the whole planet, today seems a distant historical record. It is the aforementioned record that now presents itself, involving the speech as the central axis of the folk image of a former Brazilian president who brought praise and euphoria to his country.

In the 2010s, conservative leaderships dominated governments in many western democracies. During this wave, Jair Bolsonaro was elected President of Brazil in 2018. This paper aims to analyze some of the government's central strategies, especially the promotion of intensive neoextrativism as the main driver of economic growth and as a new form of alliance between conservatism and neoliberalism. The disruption of environmental policies in Brazil is a main feature of this model. This paper documents and develops descriptive statistical analysis to show how this strategy is practiced, underlining its most important consequences. Our research has identified and described four strategies adopted by Bolsonaro's government that heighten this situation: the dismantling of spaces for social participation, militarization of environmental agencies, institutional breakdown, and cuts in budget resources. Finally, we underscore the most severe consequences of this situation affecting Brazilians and the global capacity to face environmental challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This manuscript aims to map and characterize, through knowledge routes, the evolution of scientific studies on coronavirus based on papers developed by researchers affiliated with research institutions in Brazil. Inspired by the KDD processes, the publication's data were obtained from Web of Science until 2021. Then the citation network was built and, using SPLC algorithm, the knowledge routes were designed. The results showed the high concentration of publications after 2020, demonstrating the concern and commitment of Brazilian researchers in investigations on this topic. The results also showed priority areas such as medical, followed by social that approach measures to contain the virus spread. It also identified two knowledge routes with different characteristics, reinforcing the scope of knowledge related to the topic. Thus, this paper contributes to the literature by presenting the evolution of scientific knowledge, reiterating the quality and production capacity of researchers affiliated to Brazilian institutions. It also contributes by presenting the most researched topics and pointing out the profiles of the researchers involved. Finally, it complements the current literature by ratifying the use of network analysis as a tool for representing and investigating knowledge, in addition to mapping and analyzing the evolution of knowledge.

This paper reflects on the use of Brazilian Cordel literature in the teaching of the Middle Ages based on two cordel booklets by the poet from Paraíba State, Brazil, Leandro Gomes de Barros: Batalha de Oliveiros com Ferrabrás (Battle of Oliveiros with Ferrabrás) and A prisão de Oliveiros e seus companheiros (The prison of Oliveiros and his companions). Although obtained at the beginning of the 20th century, these cordel booklets bring narratives inspired by the myths about Charlemagne and medieval chivalry, emphasizing how the christians fought against the muslim in the Middle Ages. These stories were made in the medieval period, being reworked and recreated over time until arriving in Brazil with Portuguese colonization, being part of the oral tradition mainly in the Northeast of Brazil. In this way, they bear marks of medieval reminiscences. Thus, this paper discusses the myth of Charlemagne and cavalry; the beginning of the "Carolingian cycle" in the Cordel literature; and the possibilities of using Leandro's cordel booklets in the Medieval History teaching.

The aim of this paper is analysing how the ruins of antiquity, the actual buildings, that were present in the Middle Ages, were interpreted and managed by Tolkien in his fantasy writing and his work as a scholar. Thus, how Tolkien read these elements. The ruin also deals with the idea of civilization in decay, the end of times and millenarism, also present in medieval culture, with a focus on the Early Medieval England. I will compare these two themes, the ruin and the ruins seeking to demonstrate how they were cast by both: the fantasy writer Tolkien and the scholar Tolkien. Within the area of medieval studies, a subject that has been studied with increasing numbers of studies in Brazil is the appropriation of the Middle Ages by contemporary fantasy works. This paper, in addition to these problems, will contemplate a concern about the popularization of the fantasy Middle Ages as an instrument for learning about the Middle Ages outside the academic environment.

Objective: this paper aims to discuss development practices through the presentation of two case studies from Latin-American contexts. This reflection was done during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Post-development perspectives were mobilized to explore new analytical dimensions in the epistemological and socio-political critique of the capitalist mode of appropriation of nature in América Latina and their potential implications amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology: two study cases from Brazil and Costa Rica were elaborated. The qualitative methodological framework used to identify actors and their complex interactions became a useful tool in reconstructing different socio-political expressions, symbolic narratives, and survival/resistance strategies emerging from local groups. Results: social-environmental crisis emerging in the Anthropocene context suggest the need for different points of view and ontological turns to gain a better understanding of social change occurred in the margins of in the Western world. Latin-American societies are multiple and diverse. Both, Brazilian and Costa Rican experiences discussed in this paper, represent situated realities which cannot be generalized, but this is a rather important and critical issue. These case studies help illustrate how the non-critical adoption of hegemonic categories of sociotechnical control and securitization is inadequate to understand and explain the contingency emerging from these situated realities. Conclusions: we suggest in the final part of the paper that these reflections contribute to bring a different perspective on how science, political and nature converge in knowledge systems and how these systems are contested for different people, groups, and communities around the world. This reflection is crucial to the study of processes concerned with political legitimacy, democracy, and territorial political identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the goals of the University extension project "How to use the Law", realized in Porto Seguro, State of Bahia, Brazil, was to identify methodologies of other projects about education about rights in schools to be used in posterior activities. In order to do so, we analyzed papers published at the Human rights and Justice session of the Brazilian Congress on University Extension Annals since 2012. We found thirteen papers, mostly from North, South and Southeast regions about: human rights education, bullying, Statute of Children and Adolescents, violence, racism, social inequality, sexuality, family relationships, restorative justice, illicit psychotropic substances, peace culture, and others. In general, the projects related in the papers are interdisciplinary. Some of them exhibit movies and a few others engage with other institutions and professionals. They face the challenges of improper material conditions of execution, the need to adapt the legal language to the specific public and the ambivalence of rights that can provide either emancipation or discipline. Although some papers describe how successful the projects were, it would be useful to describe in detail the methods, techniques and materials used in the activities, as well as the underlying concepts of teaching and extension.

The object of this paper is an descriptive and critical analysis of Chapter II of Statute no. 13.140/2015, a statute that brought to the brazilian legal system not only the principle and regulation of the institute of conflict mediation, but also the possibility of use of the same method by the Public Administration. From this the main problem that permeates all the paper is extracted, consisting in the incompatibilities of the characteristics of government companies with the use of a resolving method from private law. Therefore, the paper seeks to carry out an analysis of the mediation statue, focusing on the structure of the administrative conflict prevention and resolution chambers and the institute of transaction by standard form. The paper concludes that administrative mediation is not yet a reality in Brazil, although it recognizes that the legislator's effort of bringing the innovative provisions is an important contribution to debate on the use of extrajudicial institutes for the resolution of conflicts involving the Public Administration.
