Notícias do Outubro Vermelho: A Revolução Russa nas páginas do Jornal O Estado de S. Paulo

Nesse trabalho analisamos a cobertura feita pelo jornal paulistano “O Estado de S. Paulo” à Revolução Russa de outubro de 1917. Para tanto, recolhemos todas as matérias que fizeram referência ao processo de forma mais específica ou à Rússia de forma mais geral, no mês de novembro de 1917. Promovemos uma discussão da imprensa como fonte histórica e mostramos os limites da imprensa brasileira, ainda bastante dependente das agências de notícias internacionais. Nosso objetivo foi mostrar  que, para além do anticomunismo que marcou a história desse periódico, houve também uma grande dose de desinformação ou informações adulteradas na cobertura do evento

A GREVE DA VOLKSWAGEN (1979): O DESPERTAR DO NOVO SINDICALISMO E OS MÉTODOS DE CONTROLE DA VIDA OPERÁRIA

Partindo dos acontecimentos que suscitaram as greves de 1979, dos metalúrgicos do ABC paulista, esse artigo investiga as redes de informações e controle criadas pela empresa para vigiar e punir os operários, busca também compreender a lógica de apoio e cooperação desenvolvida entre agentes públicos e privados. Tem como objetivo macro analisar os desdobramentos da crise econômica e política do final da década de 1970 e início de 1980 e daí estudar os elementos que ajudaram a consolidar os métodos e práticas de um novo sindicalismo e, como objetivo específico, proceder à análise dos documentos produzidos pelo Departamento de Segurança da Volkswagen, em colaboração com os agentes do estado

IMPACTOS DA SECA NAS UNIDADES PRODUTIVAS FAMILIARES ASSENTADAS

A striking feature of the semi-arid Northeastern Brazil is the occurrence of severe droughts, which significantly reduce the volumes of production and focus sharply on large rural population. The occurrence of drought, the farmers/family of the semi-arid suffer with the deconstruction of the family unit productive. With the dry season is the partial or total loss of the crop and the weakening or death of the flock, thereby weakening the family agriculture. This article brings the objective of evaluating the impact of the drought of 2013 in the area of social, environmental and economical in production units of family Seating Denir, Municipality of Ocara Ceara. The data presented in this article are cut of the master’s thesis in Rural Economy. The data were collected through the application of the methodology Diagnostic Analysis of Agrarian Systems (ADSA) along the 30 families of farmers). The results of this article are related to step Characterization of Production Systems of productive units family seated. The drought of 2013 affected the entire production system Saddle causing serious impacts in the lives of families. With the social impact directly affected the daily life of families, already the environmental the main direction was the death of some plant species, and the economic impact was felt in all subsystems. Therefore, it is necessary that the families develop activities in cohabitation with the semi-arid regions to minimize the impacts of drought.Uma característica marcante do semiárido nordestino é a ocorrência de fortes secas, que reduzem significativamente os volumes de produção e incidem drasticamente sobre ampla população rural. Na ocorrência da seca, os/as agricultores/as familiares do semiárido sofrem com a desestruturação da unidade familiar produtiva. Com a seca acontece a perda parcial ou total da safra e a debilitação ou morte do rebanho, fragilizando a agricultura familiar. O presente artigo traz como objetivo avaliar o impacto da seca de 2013 no âmbito social, ambiental e econômico nas unidades de produção familiares do Assentamento Denir, Município de Ocara Ceará. Os dados apresentados neste artigo são um recorte da dissertação de mestrado em Economia Rural. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação da metodologia Análise Diagnóstico de Sistemas Agrários (ADSA) junto às 30 famílias dos(as) agricultores(as). Os resultados deste artigo são referentes à etapa Caracterização dos Sistemas de Produção das unidades produtivas familiares assentadas. A seca de 2013 afetou todo o sistema de produção do Assentamento ocasionando sérios impactos nas vidas das famílias. Com o impacto social afetou diretamente o cotidiano das famílias, já o ambiental o principal foi sentido na morte de algumas espécies vegetais, e o impacto econômico foi sentido em todos os subsistemas. Portanto, é preciso que as famílias desenvolvam atividades de convivências com o semiárido para minimizar os impactos da seca

Subclavian Access for Transcatheter CoreValve® Aortic Prosthesis Implantation: Data from the Brazilian Registry

ABSTRACTBackgroundTransfemoral access is the preferred approach for transcatheter aortic valve implantation. However, some situations, such as the presence of peripheral vascular disease, preclude the use of such access. In these cases, subclavian access is an alternative approach for this procedure. This study aimed at evaluating the Brazilian experience using the subclavian approach for transcatheter CoreValve® prosthesis implantation.MethodsAortic valve area<1cm2, aortic valve ring≥20mm and≤27mm (26mm and 29mm CoreValve®), ascending aorta≤43mm and subclavian artery with a diameter≥6mm, without significant obstructive lesions, marked tortuosity and excess calcification were requisites for the procedure. The access through the subclavian artery was obtained by surgical dissection and, under direct vision, a subclavian artery puncture was performed. Once artery access was obtained, the standard technique was used.ResultsBetween January 2008 and April 2012, 8 patients with peripheral vascular disease underwent CoreValve® prosthesis implantation through the subclavian artery in 4 institutions. The procedure was successful in all cases with reduction of the mean transvalvular pressure gradient from 46.4±17.5mmHg to 9.3±3.6mmHg (P=0.0018) and improvement of symptoms. At 30 days and after 275±231 days of follow-up, 87.5% and 62.5% of the patients, respectively, were free from major adverse events (death, myocardial infarction, stroke and urgent cardiac suregery).ConclusionsIn the Brazilian experience, the subclavian access was a safe and effective alternative for transcatheter CoreValve® implantation

Health-related quality of life in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the different geographical regions of Brazil : data from the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group

Background: In type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management, enhancing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is as important as good metabolic control and prevention of secondary complications. This study aims to evaluate possible regional differences in HRQoL, demographic features and clinical characteristics of patients with T1DM in Brazil, a country of continental proportions, as well as investigate which variables could influence the HRQoL of these individuals and contribute to these regional disparities. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study performed by the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group (BrazDiab1SG), by analyzing EuroQol scores from 3005 participants with T1DM, in 28 public clinics, among all geographical regions of Brazil. Data on demography, economic status, chronic complications, glycemic control and lipid profile were also collected. Results: We have found that the North-Northeast region presents a higher index in the assessment of the overall health status (EQ-VAS) compared to the Southeast (74.6 ± 30 and 70.4 ± 19, respectively; p < 0.05). In addition, North- Northeast presented a lower frequency of self-reported anxiety-depression compared to all regions of the country (North-Northeast: 1.53 ± 0.6; Southeast: 1.65 ± 0.7; South: 1.72 ± 0.7; Midwest: 1.67 ± 0.7; p < 0.05). These findings could not be entirely explained by the HbA1c levels or the other variables examined. Conclusions: Our study points to the existence of additional factors not yet evaluated that could be determinant in the HRQoL of people with T1DM and contribute to these regional disparities
