Introduction: The pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic disease, rare but with a poor outcome. The Capitulum of Wound treatment of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) promoted a discussion with the Brazilian societies of Dermatology and Rheumatology to extract the best procedures in diagnostic and treatment. Methods: Broad review of published articles related to the subject and compilation of guidelines of diagnostic and treatment by two advisors of each involved society, plastic surgery, dermatology and rheumatology. Results: The PG is not an exclusion disease anymore, with well defined criteria for its diagnostic and literature based treatment, refined by the authors, including the use of biological therapies. Conclusion: The PG remains challenging, but systematizing the investigation and the use of new drugs has opened a new horizon of treatments, interfering in the pathophysiology in a positive manner with fewer side effects than immunosuppressive therapy alone.

Introduction: The study developed hereafter proposes to analyze the penalties imposed by Societies of Medical Specialties, entities organized in the form of civil associations, specially if they constitute legal usurpation of the competence of Professional Councils. The nature of these punishments and their effects and scope will be investigated, in order to verify whether there is effective damage to the professional practice of medicine by physicians. Methods: For this analysis, the applicable rules within the Brazilian legal system were raised, their systematization and apparent conflicts, in order to locate the associative punishments and their compliance with the current legal order. Results/Conclusion: It was verified from the study that there is no obstacle to the application of this type of sanctions, once the legal and constitutional guarantees of ample defense, contradictory and due process are respected.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the professional struggles between nursing organizational entities, in Rio de Janeiro, during the Regional Nursing Council’s electoral process (1990-1993 administration). Method: historical study. We used journalistic articles, normative documents, legislation and semi-structured interviews with five nursing professionals who participated in this process. Interpretation of findings was supported by Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, field, capital, and symbolic power. Results: Electoral Code changes of the aforementioned council, under the influence of administration (1987-1990), candidate for re-election, influenced the disclosure and eligibility criteria, making it difficult for broad participation, especially of Associação Brasileira de Enfermagem Rio de Janeiro Section. Final considerations: nursing, in this period, generated a field of disputes related to positions of power and gender, which was evidenced in the electoral process studied, which highlighted using limiting strategies by a group, making it difficult for the entire category to participate.

In the national and international context, marked by the demand for the right to the inclusion of people with disabilities and the construction of an inclusive society, one of the obstacles is the attitudinal barriers sustained in excluding conceptions of disability. This study aimed to understand which are the conceptions of disability among students of Universidade do Algarve, Portugal. The findings show a disagreement with the metaphysical concept and an appreciation of the biological concept. It reveals the existence of a diversity of opinions regarding the social concept. Reflections on the implications of a higher education committed to educational inclusion and an inclusive society are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the contributions of the Brazilian Nursing Association and the Federal and Regional Nursing Councils in the literature for the professionalization of nursing in the light of Eliot Freidson’s theoretical conceptions. Methods: Integrative review of the literature, of socio-professional historical interest, carried out from June to November 2021, through the question: How did professional associations contribute to the professionalization of Brazilian nursing according to the literature from 2010 to 2020? The evidence were organized in a synoptic table, which allowed the construction of a conceptual map. Results: In the 23 selected studies, the professional associations presented scientific, social and political contributions, which shape the professional field of nursing, enabling knowledge/expertise, autonomy and self-regulation. Final considerations: The efforts of these institutions reaffirm nursing as an academic and consulting profession, capable of exerting control over the essence of nursing work. They strive to consolidate nursing as a legitimate professional field of health in Brazil.

The article addresses the joint political action of Brazilian national medical entities from 1999 to 2015, highlighting elements of their origin, trajectory and institutional configuration. Themes, flags of struggle, positions and strategies in the agenda of these organizations were analyzed. The study involved bibliographic review and documentary analysis, anchored in historical institutionalism. The results indicate interrelated processes of creation, more evident between the Brazilian Medical Association and the Federal Council of Medicine, reflecting on the trajectories and institutional configurations. There were connections between historical and institutional aspects and the political action. The emphasis on the representative unit contributed to a joint agenda influenced by the partnership between the entities, with subsequent incorporation of the National Federation of Physicians. Its performance was focused on the Legislature, and simultaneously to the public and private health sectors, with growth of positions contrary to the federal health policies. The political action developed without changes of trine representative arrangement, composed of council, association and union, favoring the definition of agreements in intermediate spaces. The dubious corporate agenda and the defense of the liberal practice influence the contradictory performance of Brazilian medical entities, with consequences in political support and incorporation of these professionals to the SUS.

Background: Social inequalities are a contemporary challenge. Nurses play an important role in fighting against them, defending social justice and promoting more democratic power relations. Objective: To analyze the dimensions of social inequalities in the discourses of representing entities in Brazilian nursing. Methodology: Qualitative document study in a sample of ten public texts illustrating the positioning of 3 Brazilian nursing entities. Results: The discourse on social inequalities is represented by the dimensions of Gender, Race/ Ethnicity, Economic status, and Other vulnerabilities, highlighting the normalization of racism and discrimination as factors that affect society and nursing. Nursing's specific interests are presented as society's general interests, particularly regarding the dimensions of gender-based and racial inequalities. The identification and defense of vulnerable groups and persuasion of social actors are the main forms of discourse organization in the entities' position. Conclusion: Representing entities are highly committed to a discourse on social inequalities, namely gender-based, racial, related to economic status and other vulnerabilities.

Family concept has constantly changed in Brazilian Law to adapt to new demands of society. New situations present as challenges that not always have answers. Although this movement is common to all branches, in Family Law it assumes a dramatic character as it involves the protection of fundamental rights. The legal feasibility of poly-union as a family entity runs through this question. On the one hand, the invocation of a principle of monogamy as guiding marital relations. On the other, the observance of hierarchically superior principles that would legitimize such relations. Thus, the fundamental principles of equality, liberty, pluralism, would reveal a true right to constitute a family. Related to this matter, general principles of good faith and legal certainty would also serve as a framework for analyzing the conformity of situations. Considering that axiological scale, eventual conflict involving those juridical principles must to analyze its position in this structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O behaviorismo radical tem sido alvo de muitas críticas, principalmente no que se refere às questões éticas. A despeito dessas críticas, Skinner considera a análise do comportamento uma ciência dos valores, discutindo a moralidade em termos de comportamento moral. Entretanto, a afirmação de que a análise do comportamento é uma ciência dos valores pode ter consequências sociais distintas a depender do modelo de ciência adotado como pressuposto. O debate científico contemporâneo trata da crise do modelo moderno de ciência e do surgimento de outro: o modelo pós-moderno. Uma das diferenças entre essas duas propostas científicas refere-se à relação entre ciência e sociedade. Considerando esses aspectos, o objetivo deste trabalho é discutir qual modelo de ciência, moderno ou pós-moderno, norteia a assertiva skinneriana que declara a análise do comportamento uma ciência dos valores. Para tanto, serão apresentadas, inicialmente, algumas concepções tradicionais de explicação do comportamento moral e as principais críticas que Skinner dirige a elas. Em seguida, o sistema ético skinneriano será analisado, juntamente às questões sociais envolvidas na prática do analista do comportamento. E, por fim, discutir-se-á como cada modelo de ciência pode subsidiar práticas de intervenção diferentes, com consequências sociais igualmente distintas.El behaviorismo radical ha sido objetivo de muchas críticas, principalmente en lo que se refiere a las cuestiones éticas.

Despite the criticism, Skinner considers the behavior analysis a science of values, discussing morality in terms of moral behavior. However, the claim that the behavior analysis is a science of values may have distinctive social consequences depending on the model of science to be assumed. The contemporary scientific debate is about the crisis of the modern model of science and the emergence of another: the postmodern model. One of the differences between these two scientific proposals refers to the relation between science and society. Considering these aspects, the objective of this paper is to discuss which model of science, modern or postmodern, based on the skinnerian statement which declares the behavior analysis a science of values. To do so, initially, some traditional conceptions explaining moral behavior, and the main criticism that Skinner directs to them will be presented. Then, Skinner's ethical system will be analyzed, along with the social issues involved in the behavior analyst's practice, and, finally, the paper will discuss how each model of science can support different intervention practices, with equally distinct social consequences.

With the slogan "We open governments," the Wikileaks® came in 2006 with the proposal to function as a collaborative platform on which anyone who was interested in the subject might send sensitive documents or give your opinion about the leaked documents from large corporations. Documents received and leaked by the website would then have its veracity evaluated by interested Internet users (WIKILEAKS, 2015) .With the consolidation of various applications over the years, Cross and Thomas (2009) and Kirkpatrick (2011) report that users began creating new ways to use that affect both the personal relationship and the relationship with companies and governments, such as the Wikileaks®, a sharing network that welcomes leaked documents from large corporations in order to force greater transparency of governments and large companies. Is precisely this point which fits this article, since it is intended to evaluate the performance of Wikileaks® through theoretical lens of Max Weber, using the principle of social action.

Utilizando-se de uma abordagem qualitativa, esse artigo delineia a percepção de profissionais de saúde, sobretudo pediatras, acerca da violência e sua responsabilidade em denunciar os casos que vivenciaram. Embora tratando-se de um estudo de caso - a experiência no Instituto Fernandes Figueira/FIOCRUZ - a preocupação é a de fornecer material para a reflexão acerca do posicionamento frente à morbidade infantil por "causas externas", traçando sugestões para uma prática/ação que ponha em pauta a articulação entre violência e assistência à saúde da criança.Valiéndose de un abordaje cualitativo, este artículo traza la percepción de los profesionales de la salud, sobre todo pediatras, acerca de la violencia y la responsabilidad de ellos para denunciar los casos que se les presentan día a día.

This work on the corporate model of seaports of Brazil, whose results and refection on the management of resources and applications are shown worn, proposes a model of fundraising that although nothing different from what is a practiced internationally, original and innovative process before centralized management of the current port administration. Currently, the lack of investment and the high prices of port operations in Brazil put us in a situation of low competitiveness in relation to costs and prices in the model lease landlord due to the interests of maximizing prices charged in such contracts. The proposal is that with adapted methodology, for the financing of port activities, if use the issuance of bonds in the capital market, primary with substantial leverage in investments. After a simulation of an operation of placing zero coupon bonds revenue in port leasing over-the-counter market (OTC) estimated results proved advantageous compared to the results of the estimated rate of return and used by the National Agency for Waterway Transportation (Portuguese acronym ANTAQ), demonstrating the feasibility of a zero coupon bond issue operation.
