Women violence network of protection : advances and challenges

No Brasil, a violência nas relações conjugais tem sido objeto de crescente denúncia junto à polícia, ao judiciário e aos órgãos públicos de Assistência Social, educação e saúde. A violência doméstica acarreta amplas repercussões psicossociais, econômicas e políticas, não só no plano individual e familiar como também na esfera social da mulher. Diante da complexidade da problemática, permeada por preconceitos e diferentes discriminações, as mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica, com o passar dos anos, vão sofrendo mudanças diversas, muitas vezes drásticas, no meio em que vivem e com quem convivem, resultando na completa fragilização de suas redes de pertencimento.O presente artigo apresenta dados baseados em duas pesquisas: “Rede de atendimento à mulher em situação de violência doméstica: Limites e Possibilidades”; e “Das lágrimas à esperança: o processo de fortalecimento das mulheres em situação de violência doméstica”, desenvolvidas no Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Violência – NEPEVI, Faculdade de Serviço Social da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Brasil. Nosso objetivo foi fornecer subsídios teóricos práticos para contribuir com o atendimento e fortalecimento de mulheres em situação de violência doméstica. Esta pesquisa consistiu em identificar os limites e possibilidades da rede de apoio a mulher em situação de violência doméstica nos municípios de POA, São Leopoldo e Novo Hamburgo. Foram entrevistadas usuárias dos serviços da rede de proteção à mulher e profissionais vinculados a rede, entre eles, assistentes sociais, psicólogos, delegadas, entre outros.In Brazil, violence in marital relations has been the object of an increase in police charges, as well as in the judiciary system and public institutions of social welfare, education and health. Domestic violence causes large psychosocial, economic and political repercussions in the individual and family sphere as well as in the woman’s social sphere. Given the complexity of the problem, surrounded by the prejudice and different types of discrimination, women who are victims of domestic violence suffer diverse changes, often drastic, in the environment they live and with whom they live as time passes by. This results in a complete process of fragilization in their belonging networks. The present article presents data based on two researches: “The Support Network for Women in Domestic Violence Situations: Limits and Possibilities”, and “From tears to Hope: The Process of Empowerment of Women in Domestic Violence Situation”, carried out in the Research Group on Violence – NEPEVI, Faculty of Social Work, Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Brazil. Our purpose was to provide theoretical and practical bases to contribute with the services and empowerment of women in domestic violence situations. This research consisted in the identification of the limits and possibilities of the network support for women in domestic violence situation in the municipalities of Porto Alegre, São Leopoldo and Novo Hamburgo, State of Rio Grande do Sul. Women who were service users of this network of support and professionals connected to this network, among them, social workers, psychologists, delegates, and others were interviewed

Avaliação das premissas do Programa de Reestruturação e Ajuste Fiscal e seus impactos para a situação fiscal dos Estados brasileiros

O estudo possui dois objetivos, a saber: discutir as premissas inerentes aos programas de reestruturação e ajuste fiscal (PAF) firmados entre a União e os Estados brasileiros; e propor uma equação formal da relação dívida financeira/receita que garanta para esta a convergência para a meta prevista nos contratos. Para dar conta dos objetivos realizouse revisão da legislação pertinente, a partir da qual foi formalizada matematicamente a equação de convergência. Os resultados indicam que os Estados que possuírem relação dívida financeira/receita líquida real inferior ou igual a 2,50, em 2009, tendem a cumprir a meta de redução de endividamento prevista pelo PAF, em 20 anos. Aponta-se também o desvio das hipóteses do PAF causado pela indexação da dívida ao IGP

ReisParacoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a disease that affects 10 million individuals in Latin America. This report depicts the results of the analysis of 6,022 assembled groups from mycelium and yeast phase expressed sequence tags, covering about 80% of the estimated genome of this dimorphic, thermo-regulated fungus. The data provide a comprehensive view of the fungal metabolism, including overexpressed transcripts, stage-specific genes, and also those that are up- or down-regulated as assessed by in silico electronic subtraction and cDNA microarrays. Also, a significant differential expression pattern in mycelium and yeast cells was detected, which was confirmed by Northern blot analysis, providing insights into differential metabolic adaptations. The overall transcriptome analysis provided information about sequences related to the cell cycle, stress response, drug resistance, and signal transduction pathways of the pathogen. Novel P. brasiliensis genes have been identified, probably corresponding to proteins that should be addressed as virulence factor candidates and potential new drug targets

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
