Socioeconomic measures play a fundamental role in elaborating diagnoses of the socioeconomic environment, providing a study parameter in sociology, demography, economics, and political science. Due to its relevance, this study aims to identify what the national and international scientific literature presents about the socioeconomic level (SES) indicator so that it is possible to highlight the main results, recommendations, problems, and future research opportunities in measuring the indicator. A systematic review was carried out to achieve the objectives, complemented by an exploratory search based on the SSF (Systematic Search Flow) method. From the review, the following results stand out: the studies seek to operationalize the measurement of the socioeconomic indicator through components of parents' education, parents' occupational prestige, and family income or wealth; the evolution of the NSE measure is in line with the use of statistical models from the Item Response Theory (IRT). It is concluded that the construct's definition is shaped according to the different realities of each country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The editorial of the PerCursos magazine presents the latest annual issue of the magazine, which features a dossier on the theme "Pandemic, Territory, and Inequality." The dossier addresses the impact of the pandemic on indigenous nations, people living on the streets, and populations residing in slums. It also highlights the spread of contagion intensified by the forms of organization in the agro-industrial production in Santa Catarina. The articles gathered in the dossier demonstrate that pandemics have an ecology, sociology, and geography, and address the need for structural transformations to overcome socio-environmental crises. Additionally, the magazine presents other articles related to the Good Living concept and practices found in open-air markets. [Extracted from the article]

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is the discussion about the perception and identity construction reflected in the act of gift giving under the context of a loving relationship. Therefore, we used a theoretical framework based on identity and gift giving. In its methodology, we use of an interpretative approach based on the technical analysis procedures from the Grounded Theory proposed by Charmaz. Design/methodology/approach: 26 interviews were conducted with 15 men and women who declare themselves committed in romantic relationships, which resulted in approximately 21 hours of recording. Research, Practical & Social implications: The paper contributes to consumption studies because focus on the behavioral relationship of a couple, going beyond the common place of studies focused on individualized consumption. Originality/value: As a result, the paper presents two theoretical schemes that debate, respectively, the formation of the couple's identity and the evolution of the act of gift giving in a context of loving relationship, resulting in a final debate about the formation of the couple's identity as a process that occurs concurrently with the increase in the symbolic level of the gifts, reflecting this construction.

This article aims to revisit the theme of the karajá dolls reflecting upon a broad bibliography review and my field work. The goal is to articulate two historically separated discussions in Karajá's research: the study on objects and the discussions about the personhood, kinship and body. I argue that the ritxo(k)o are part of the networks of kinship relationships. Their production, sale or gifting activates relationships between groups of women. At the same time, the act of gifting ritxo(k)o to small girls is part of a set of acts that builds kin-bodies, such as grandmother and granddaughter. The ritxo(k)o are also a way of establishing relationships with the alterity of white people, either through gifting, selling or by establishing a relationship with researchers. Using the benefits gained from these relationships, the Karajá set in motion, once again, the production of kin-bodies, turning money and material goods into food and gifts for their family. Food, daily care, use of the correct terms of kinship and gifts, such as ritxo(k)o, but also industrialized goods, the exchange of affections, advice, protection through the brotyré category are part of the actions that guarantee a successful kinship process.

At the same time that the market moves, the act of giving presents different symbolisms and is governed by motivational dimensions. Thus, understanding the relevance and importance of deepening studies on this theme, the present study aimed to understand how the act of giving on Valentine's Day occurs from the perspective of heterosexual couples, from the perspective of Gouldner's theory of reciprocity (1960). To this end, 18 interviews were conducted with 9 heteronormative couples from the cities of Florianópolis-SC, Caruaru-PE and João Pessoa-PB, between the months of June and July 2018. The results show that there are differences by gender in the gift-giving behavior, even in a relationship, and that couples in longer lasting relationships prefer to gift moments and experiences.

Going beyond analyzing gift-giving from a single love perspective, this paper aimed to understand the gift-giving from the love types experienced in romantic relationships, investigating the frequency, the reasons for the act of giving gifts among couples, and the sacrificial perception. Through a survey, 257 people participated in the research. The results revealed that the love characterized by eroticism and passion (Eros) is the predominant primary style among couples and is the one that guides individuals to gift more frequently through the social motive. Among the secondary love styles, we observed that the altruist (Agape) tends to be what most often induces gift-giving, generating a sacrificial perception of the offerer. We also saw that the sacrifice can be perceived in the gift-giving in other forms of love besides the Agape style. The study contributes to the literature by revealing that the gift-giving can vary according to the love styles and that the perception of sacrifice in this act is related to these styles. Thus, we propose the development of reflections and investigations focused on the consequences of love forms on consumer behavior, highlighting love styles theory for its ability to provide new interpretations of consumer relations.

The intensity of the law’s interaction with gift giving suggests that examining their relationship might produce interesting insights about both gift giving and the law. Yet no social scientist has seriously examined the gift norms included in modern systems of private law. The complexity of gift law is due to the interaction of two competing social ideas: the law’s concern that gift giving represents a danger to society; and the power of customary gift obligations to engender and maintain social relationships. The law gets involved in gift giving when it feels that the parties need some protection, and this involvement varies considerably among legal systems. Some systems are suspicious of inter vivos transfers, while others tend to view gifts as they view exchange. Since the law’s formal requirements do not displace customary obligations this field provides an opportunity to examine how the law is shaped by the customary obligations Mauss elaborated.

Objective. To perform a survey of international drug donations by the Brazilian government from 2005 to 2016, identifying the number of drug units donated and the corresponding financial amount. Method. This descriptive and exploratory study used secondary data available at the Brazilian Health Ministry's Materials Management System (SISMAT). The following information was retrieved: requesting country, year of donation, drug donated, number or pharmaceutical unit donated, and corresponding amount (in Brazilian reais). Results. During the study period, 66 554 892 pharmaceutical units were donated, corresponding to R$ 84 371 308.72 (US$ 25 505 235.70). Drugs were donated to Angola, Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Cuba, El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guiana, Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Honduras, Libya, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Sao Tome and Principe, Syria, and Suriname, countries from the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), and Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO). No distribution pattern was detected in quantitative terms. Peaks in the number of drugs donated were recorded in 2008, 2011, and 2012, with the largest number of countries receiving donations in 2006 (n=13) and 2012 (n=14). Drugs were donated for the treatment of HIV/Aids, malaria, leishmaniasis, diabetes, cholera, schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, influenza, opportunistic diseases, immunizations, nutrition support, and health conditions associated with natural disasters. Conclusions. The drugs donated by the Brazilian government included mostly antimicrobial agents used for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases. Further studies are suggested to correlate public health interventions with the donation of drugs as a means to promote the sustainable economic development of the recipient countries.

The gift has been studied in a variety of social relations, but not in its daily and wide ranged presence in television. Considering television not only as a reproducer but also as a producer of society, we try a general sociologic approach to the gift in television. Just as in the other social relations, it manifests in several ways, from the great charity media events to the daily talk shows. Although inscribed in the commercial sphere of the television business, these programmes keep the main character of the gift, reinforcing the authority of television and its ties with audiences.

The American online journal Complex Child, written by and for mothers of complex children, has documented an important collection of personal experiences since 2008. We analyzed 126 editions of the journal, in which our approach was to search in the writings for positive (and thus counterhegemonic) meanings, based on an experience that has found little room in the social imaginary except for that of personal tragedy. Assuming the position of these mothers as politically and historically situated, we identified the dimension of testimonies. Marcel Mauss' theory of the gift, as well as the notion of social suffering in Veena Das, provide this study's theoretical framework, organized in essay format. After organizing and reading the collection in light of our references, we identified four niches for discussion. The maternal constructions of happiness appear to be grouped around the ideas of "gift" and "legacy". The notion of gift is associated with gains originating from the existence of (and care for) the complex child, while the idea of legacy refers mainly to a child or youngster who has passed away. Once the mother can see her child and the opportunities from caring for her child as gifts, she feels a practically imperious need to give back to the world.

This is a reflection on the interpersonal relations established between patients and the nursing team with emphasis on the configuration of the bonds resulting from such relationship, theoretically supported by Marcel Mauss's gift theory. Special consideration is given to the person-to-person interaction as the main component of the structure on which the actions performed by the health professionals find support, paving the way to interpersonal development aiming at making it easier to have a good performance of the services rendered and even going beyond technical matters. Based on the gift theory, it is possible to infer that symbolic assets are in circulation between the nursing team and the patients, in health care, demanding from the professionals humanitarian postures that are to be construed in terms of gestures, behaviors and attitudes.
