Objective: To understand the experience of self-concept and social prejudice in the daily lives of people with spinal cord injury and their families. Methods: Interpretative, qualitative study, developed with 21 participants (12 people with spinal cord injury and 9 family members), of a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in southern Brazil, whose sources of evidence were individual interviews and two workshops that corroborate for data validation. For the grouping and organization of the data, the Atlas.ti software was used and the analysis of the data involved: preliminary analysis, ordering, key links, coding and categorization, guided by the gaze of Comprehensive Sociology and Everyday Life. Results: Evidence of self-concept: marks on the body and soul, wheelchair and the negative perception of the disease, from the decline to the reconstruction of self-image; prejudice in the dimensions: family and social. Conclusion: Self-prejudice negatively influences self-image, creating a mechanism of defense and denial of condition experiencing spinal cord injury. The family is decisive in everyday transformation the way that a person lives and perceives his condition. We need a sensibilization to look established preconceptions that imply about the segregation of people in society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to cross-culturally adapt the Social Dominance Orientation Scale (SDO7) for the Brazilian context, propose a reduced version of the instrument, and assess its factor structure and validity evidences. Participants included 1,056 individuals across four different samples collected online. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated the best fit indices for the original fourfactor structure, two substantial (Dominance x Anti-Egalitarianism) and two methodological (pro-trait x counter-trait). The substantial factors had Cronbach's alpha values above 0.70 in all samples. Furthermore, both the long and reduced versions of the scale were highly correlated with political self-categorization. Hence, the instrument in its long and reduced versions showed good validity and reliability evidences for the Brazilian context and can be used in future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a qualitative review of research on science capital considering 51 studies with topics related to this concept, between 2015 and 2021. In addition to the increase in research evidenced by the number of publications on the topic during this period, and the dominance of the United Kingdom in leading research in the area, we observed that topics associated to science capital vary from choosing careers in science, identifying with science and promoting a science culture, to the role of school in developing science capital and the ways to evaluate it. It is common for science engagement, associated to science capital, to be seen through the alignment of three important Bourdieusian concepts: capital, habitus and field. In this sense, due to the relevance that the topic has had in science research, we assert the importance of a systematic review that can provide an overview of current investigations involving science capital.

Economic theories make diagnoses to interpret current economic scenarios in times of pandemic. The problem is how to understand the money fetish that imposes a domination of the market installed by states with world power, provoking a flow of capital that legitimizes the domination of financial capital over poor countries. It is a financial idolatry that causes structural sacrificialism in human beings. Could an ethics of love criticize an idolatrous system, that is, the domination of capital can be appeased with human sacrifices? The Trinitarian fallacy of the renowned economists defends: First to grow, then to stabilize and, finally, to distribute profits and wealth. This fallacy is unveiled, because now there is credit for everything. So, will credit have an impact on capital, that is, will capital enter a new cycle? How can the state offer cheap credit, and even more, how can a poor universal "basic income" now be given? It seems clear that the states of the global South will lose their solvency because of this, while the states of the world currencies will be able to generate unlimited credit. This phenomenon is based on the unequal distribution of capitalist wealth in the world. The study begins with the exposition of the theme of Christian reconciliation as an inversion of the atoning sacrifice; then, the "Society of free men" is described in opposition to the commodity fetish in capitalism. The political economy justifies the fetish of money and capital, legitimizing the national debt in the face of the world pandemic. The money fetish disappears in the rational explanation of inflation and credit. However, what does not disappear is the power of money over market participants in all countries, because this power is a practical matter. The fetish of money and capital can be unmasked through its scientific explanation. Therefore, although the fetish is theoretically explained and its power of domination and alienation demonstrated, in practical terms it is not eliminated and overcome. Theory X practical: this is the contradiction of financial idolatry that continues to demand human sacrifices to be immolated on the altar of capital. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper fosters a theoretical debate on ideological aspects that underlie the use of language and on the influence of these aspects in contexts of intercultural mediation -- more specifically of translation. Aiming at debating the role of translators in the interplay of dominance and resistance observable in different linguistic exchanges, this paper reflects on the construal of translated texts, discussing translation choices made in consonance with translation projects. This text draws on Simpson (1993), Berman (1995), van Dijk (1998), Munday (2007), Kremer (2007) and Alves (2021) in order to adopt a broader understanding of the notion of ideology and of the decision-making process behind the construal of translated texts.

The territories of cultural groups are loaded with symbolic dominance as a function of the network of created meanings. They enclose the power of appropriation and may bring use value to these groups' territories, adding to them marks of the lived space. Based on that, this research aim to understand how the appropriation of the cultural element by peripheral cultural groups affects the ways of acting in the space, attaching a meaning to it, weaving relationships and enabling the maintenance of life. As methodology, were conducted literature review and semi-structured interviews with cultural leaders from two groups located on the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, in 2018: Coco de Umbigada and Maracatu Nação Cambinda Estrela, respectively in the urban peripheries of Olinda and Recife. The results found that, in these territories, there is room for culture, education, religion and social composition, where strength and potentiality are tangled up to an attempt of better surviving. Thus, it is possible to argue that the presence of culture spreads out and organizes life through the recovery-insurgency dichotomy associated with the construction of a local political reference, a territory in which their territorialities can bring help, integration, the realization of humans whiling and generosity.

The objective of this study was to structurally characterize the vegetation present in two different caatinga physiognomies at the Aroeira Grande municipality in Baraúna / RN. For this study, the plot method was used in which all the included individuals had height and stem diameter at the base level (DBL) ≥ 3 cm and ≥ 1 m, respectively. The species Cordia glazioviana, Croton blanchetianus, Cynophalla flexuosa, and Poincianella pyramidalis presented the highest phytosociological parameters for Area I, with 12.5% relative frequencies. Croton blanchetianus stood out with 88.12% relative density and Croton glazioviana predominated in the dominance parameter with 59.88%.dominance. In Area II, Piptadenia stipulaceae, Bauhinia cheilantha, and Cynophala flexuosa presented the highest relative frequencies, all with 7.32%. However, Croton blanchetianus stood out over the rest of the species in density (32.33%) and in dominance (17.36%). The Euphorbiaceae family was predominant in both areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines how the narrative for chloroquine as a cure/treatment for Covid-19 was built in pro-Bolsonaro WhatsApp groups. To this end, two hypotheses are explored. The first argument highlights the way in which the narrative for the benevolent side is structured to support a belief about the efficacy of the product, which, according to Cassam (2019), characterizes an "epistemic vice". The second hypothesis refers to how the narrative was structured as a network of ideologically oriented positions to produce antagonists, which we interpret in the light of the notion of "petty police", according to Rancière (1996, 2014). As a methodological strategy, we built a timeline of chloroquine-related messages, disseminated in pro-Bolsonaro groups, accessed through the WhatsApp Monitor, developed by UFMG. The chronological relationship of the messages allowed us to perceive the dominance of each phase of the narrative construction, in order to gather the messages in a discursive network, which we analyzed in the attempt to answer our research question.

This work presents a state of the art with the main theoretical discussions regarding the distribution of audiovisual content on the internet from peripheral contexts. The text covers the main problems of the digital economy, in particular the situation of high concentration and dominance of few global agents that design and conduct the online content distribution processes. The main argument is illustrated from El Marginal, a public funded TV series, distributed globally through Netflix, which implied the subordination of the public service function to a commercial logic.

In the animal kingdom, competition and hierarchical arrangements relative to members of the same sex are extremely common, with males competing for the top “alpha male” position and females ranked below them. Despite the widespread occurrence of hierarchical self-organization among animals and humans, ethno+musicologists often shy away from phylogenetic inferences and borrowing resources from biology, psychology, and anthropology. Is this a reflection of scholarly bias or a sense of unease with interdisciplinary, indirect, and large-scale data? This paper explores some answers to this question and suggests interdisciplinary connections for both ethnomusicology and musicology through the examination of biological and cultural frameworks with respect to social dominance.

The broiler production chain in Mato Grosso do Sul has a market structure similar to that of a competitive oligopoly, with high concentration, no differentiation from and no market dominance by agents. In this work we sought to analyze the effects of a concentrated market structure for the performance of the production chain, as well as its relationship and interaction with the rest of the state economy. From the background provided by the input-product model, the sector's low direct contribution to the generation and spillover of the multiplicative effects of employment (E), income (R) and production (VA) was found. The results enable a better understanding of the broiler production chain and the reflexes of a market structure concentrated in the economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the psychopolitical implications of vocational guidance in times of political instability. The objective is to reflect on the importance of making psychological care accessible to the subject in a situation of social vulnerability, recognizing that the lack of attention may incur the potentialization of anxieties and not the acquired skills. It is relevant to approach the establishments of bonds that constitute the subject in order to consolidate its structure not as something petrified, but as a transitory psychic space aware of its limits and safe in its reflections. Particularly in this article, we focus on how vocational guidance can help individuals in vulnerable situations to emancipate themselves and exercise power. The subjects of this investigation are young people, who live in peripheral regions of Brazil and are, for the most part, of African descent. These elements have a serious impact on the condition of vulnerability experienced daily by these social groups. It is intended to think about the commitment to the scarcity of a critical psychopolitical work of political education in the field of vocational guidance to enhance critical reflections as a form of insurgency to the political situation, and may incur opportunities to influence the change in their own professional trajectories. Finally, the methodology is qualitative and is based on experiences of vocational guidance with the black population in São Paulo, Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The authoritarianism phenomenon is assessed in a psychosocial perspective as a cultural code on political social relationships. The paper reports two studies carried out in 2015 in a middle sized city from countryside Brazil, in which adolescents and adults completed questionnaires about the submission to authority, acceptance of leadership and obedience. Response frequency analyses and the identification of profiles allowed to conclude that there is a predominance of the acceptance of authoritarian ideas, even if the use of the term dictatorship is rejected. Adults contrast with adolescents by the higher support of religious leaders. The discussion deals with the rejection of dictatorship by its negative connotation, though authoritarian practices and ideals are supported, and also concerns the interpretation of an authoritarian social code in the time of the study which, if generalized, makes it possible to explain the compatibility of the later choice in the presidential election.

The study assesses correlations among hierarchical conceptions of group relationships and students' social position. The concept of social dominance orientation (SDO) deals with the acceptance of domination and hierarchy between groups. The research had 663 students from Uberlandia-MG, with a mean of 16 years of age who completed a questionnaire with an adaptation of the Social Dominance Orientation Scale and questions relative to mothers' schooling, sex and family income. Results from cluster analysis suggest three patterns: adolescents who support egalitarian relationships between groups; the opposite pattern, which approves of a society with dominant and dominated groups; and a contradictory position, which favors egalitarian aspects but denies that groups are equal. Discussion is centered on the sex and schooling factors and their association with SDO, and on the interpretation of the contradictory profile that defends restricted equality.

This study analyzes the representation of Teko Porã in the poetry of Brígido Bogado from the perspective of ecocritical studies. Such representation indicates the indigenous cosmovision based on the ancestral language and knowledge that are presented underlying the work of the author and exposes the criticism of the depredation of nature carried forward by the society of capital and the alienation of human relations that have been imposed since the colonization of the area, bodies and minds in America, as pointed out by Aníbal Quijano (2000). The article by Meliá (2015) "El buen vivir se aprende" addresses the complexity of this term the Teko Porã in Guarani's culture. It is further observed the possibility to rethink ecocritical studies from a Latin American perspective, according to Flores (2017), which reveals other ways of knowing and another relationship between humans and nature that dispenses the means of dominance established by Western hegemonic groups to the present day.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the floristic and phytosociological composition of a Cerrado lato sensu fragment. A census was carried out in the study area, of 6.7 ha, with inclusion limit of 15 cm of circumference at 1.30 m above ground level. We registered 15,434 individuals, from 78 species, 72 genera and 33 families. Density, dominance and cover value were analyzed, with a total density of 2,303.58 ind ha-1 and a basal area of 94.303 m? ha-1. The species with the highest cover values, in descending order, were Myrcia splendens, Astronium fraxinifolium, Magonia pubescens, Qualea parviflora, Protium heptaphyllum, Curatella americana, Vatairea macrocarpa, Tachigali aurea, Byrsonima stipulacea and Machaerium brasiliense, which represented 53% of all individuals of the area. Species of the genus Qualea presented dominance, representing 11% of the total of individuals. The distribution pattern of the individuals was inverted "J" format, but Astronium fraxinifolium, Magonia pubescens and Tachigali aurea presented lower number of individuals in the initial classes. The Shannon diversity index and the Pielou equability indicated the existence of high species richness and diversity when comparing the studied area with Cerrado fragments nearby.

This work aims to interrogate the causes and discursive processes related to the fascination that the hegemonic model of descriptive medicine plays on the professionals and students of psychology courses, as well as on the population as a whole. We sought to politicize the issue from the broader discussion of the DSM and ICD classificatory manuals and their consequences for the growing "self-diagnosis" movement. Then, in an epistemological analysis, we investigate the historical and problematic constitution of psychiatry in the medical field, as well as the possible reasons for adherence to the psychiatric discourse by the psychological field. This path allowed us to introduce a genealogical and critical analysis of the legitimation of medical knowledge in our culture, based on the Foucaultian concept of biopolitics. In the conclusion, working with the Lacanian theory of the four discourses, we could point out how much the conjunction between science and capitalism, verified in the dominance of medical discourse, makes a place for the subject and his non-knowledge impossible.

Living with different generations of people and the capacity of stigma processes which promote discrimination form a paradox. Violence and subtle exclusion meted to elderly people have physical and psychological impacts on their welfare and their old age. The dehumanization intensity experienced by people within this age bracket is structurally manifested by social inequality, the naturalization of poverty leading towards discrimination, the changing of interactions within daily social relationships, in the application or omission of social policies. The drifting of elderly people towards significant losses of social and family status establishes psychological traumas of a moral and affective nature, with great depth in the lives of these people. The debate evidences and discusses the potential issues of the social trauma in the elderly and relates them to market economy processes caused by globalization that changed the way these people are included and/or excluded within productive society.

The aim of this paper is to understand some elements of leisure activities in Brazilian society during the military period (1964 to 1984), highlighting the influence of censorship, political repression and economic growth in these activities. The main objective is to illustrate the relationship between these leisure activities (physical activity, sport, film, television, theater) and the Brazilian political and economic reality of that moment. Based on the analysis proposed, it can be concluded that during the period analyzed, the leisure practices studied were censured and managed from a broad national project that has profoundly changed the country giving the basis for mass leisure activities.O objetivo deste trabalho foi compreender alguns elementos das atividades de lazer na sociedade brasileira durante o período militar (1964 a 1984), destacando a influência da censura, a repressão política e o crescimento econômico nestas atividades. O principal objetivo foi ilustrar a relação entre estas atividades de lazer (atividade física, desporto, televisão, cinema, teatro) e a realidade brasileira política e econômica daquele momento. Com base na análise proposta, pode-se concluir que durante o período analisado, as práticas de lazer estudadas foram censuradas e gerenciadas a partir de um amplo projeto nacional que mudou profundamente o país dando a base para atividades de lazer de massa.

This article aims to present some ethological perspectives on early peer relationships. Firstly we discuss the research work of the 1970s about the dominance hierarchies in preschool-age children. Then we discussed the concept of affiliation and in particular the studies on how to identify affiliative structures in groups of children in preschool. Given the difficulties presented by the interpretation of behavioral sociograms an alternative method is presented to identify subgroups of children with affiliation profiles: the evolution of this methodology is described. Finally, we discuss the possible links between the concepts of dominance and affiliation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the plight of Jewish immigrants in Brazil. Despite settling in Brazil from the first half of the 16th century, the Jews had to hide their Jewish identity. From the 18th century onwards, the Jews have overcome political-ideological persecutions and started fighting for their citizenship. The impact of these demands and struggles on the domestic relations among Jewish families is discussed. These demands and struggles are stated to have resulted in the social psychology of Jewish immigrants based on male dominance of women.

The aim of this work is to analyse the effects of values and social prejudice on political attitudes in a psicossociological perspective. The values are analysed in four levels: materialist values, post-materialist values religious values and hedonist values; the social prejudice are analysed through the social dominance orientation; the political attitudes are studied in two dimensions: trust in political institutions and support to politicians. The research has interviewed 205 undergraduate students in João Pessoa. The results show partial relationships among those variables and social equity, the value of religiosity and post materialist values in the prediction of political attitudes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to understand the relationship between Nurse's production of subjectivity and the decision-making in the process of Nursing care. A qualitative design of research was conducted. The investigation was carried out with twelve nurses who work at the Associação de Caridade Santa Casa do Rio Grande, a hospital located in Rio Grande, RS, Brazil. For data collection, focus group technique was used three meetings were conducted in december 2011. The results were presented in semantic categories: Capitalist System: maintenance of employment bond; Submission System: institutionalized culture and vision of society; Nursing Hierarchical System; and Values System: feeling of guilt and lack of professional recognition. The capitalist system mediates, mainly, the behavior that prevails in the decision-making process in Nursing care.

This study aims to investigate the forms of domination which are present in the daily work of hospital nurses and the way they handle these occurrences, as well as the types of mediating processes which occur within relationship which produce confrontation and the way these help them to comprehend and transform their own work.. A qualitative methodology was used which included indepth interviews with 15 nurses, as well as analysis of official documents from both the Regional Council of Nurses and the Nurses' Union from the state of Ceará. The study concluded that forms of domination not only exist but also contribute to the reproduction of unequal relationships on the job, and that these relationships occur between nurses and doctors, between peers and between nurses and auxillary personnel. Responding to this situation, nurses have been utilizing individual and informal resistance mechanisms and strategies, but also formal and collective resistance strategies have been used, these latter less frequently.
