The process of social reintegration of mental patients: obstacles and problematic

This study aimed to identify the main obstacles founded at the process of social reinsertion of those who carry mental illness admitted at Fundação Pública Estadual Hospital de Clínicas Gaspar Vianna (FHCGV). At first, is presented a brief contextualization of the Psychiatric hospital’s social function and the process of social reinsertion of the mental patients. In this regard, was conducted a quali-quantitative approach. The data were collected by questionnaires and patient records. Six social assistants, which work at the FHCGV psychiatric clinic, led the research, using a sample of 174 patient records. It were observed the following main obstacles: the family overloading regarding the care of those relatives who became ill; the low qualification of health professionals; the lack of understanding by family and society concerning mental illness; the disorganization within the Psychosocial Attention network

Caracterização do Feminicídio na cidade de Belém - Pará

Violence against women has several faces, such as psychological, physical, moral and patrimonial. Since 2006, it has been judicially restrained by the Maria da Penha Law and, since 2015, by the Feminicide Law. This work aims to analyze the crime of feminicide in the municipality of Belém (PA), with a time frame from 2011 to 2015. A survey was carried out based on police reports and procedures regarding the death of women due to gender reasons violence involving domestic and family and contempt or discrimination to the condition of woman. For this, a descriptive analysis technique was used in order to illustrate how these deaths occur. With the results, it was found that crime occurs more frequently in the night, on weekends, with the location of the fact the residence, using a sharp weapon. As verified the affective relationship with the author, and violent relationship. Understanding the characteristics of femicides is necessary to support and evaluate public policies for the prevention, repression and confronting violence against women.A violência contra mulher tem várias faces, seja ela psicológica, física, moral e patrimonial. Tem sido coibida judicialmente, com lei específica, no entanto, apesar dos avanços, os números continuam altos. Em abril de 2015, foi aprovada a Lei do feminicídio que torna os homicídios contra mulheres por condição de gênero, crime hediondo. Este trabalho tem como objeto de análise o crime de feminicídio no município de Belém, com recorte temporal de 2011 a 2015, pesquisa realizada a partir das análises dos boletins e procedimentos policiais e tendo como critério para os anos que antecedem a lei morte de mulheres por razões de gênero envolvendo violência doméstica e familiar e menosprezo ou discriminação à condição de mulher. Para isso, utilizou-se a técnica de análise descritiva com intuito de se ilustrar de como ocorre este crime. Com resultados, verificou-se que o crime ocorre no período da noite, nos finais de semana, tendo o local do fato a residência, sendo que as abordagens se deram de forma individualizada, com arma perfuro cortante, as vítimas tinham relação afetiva com autor, e relacionamento violento. A compreensão dos fatores e características sobre o feminicídio são necessárias para subsidiar e avaliar políticas públicas de prevenção, repressão e enfrentamento da violência contra mulher

Violência e consolidação democrática do Estado brasileiro: um estudo sociológico sobre o processo de trabalho policial militar no Brasil (1985-2007)

Segundo o Plano Nacional de Segurança Pública vigente no Estado Brasileiro, a segurança é “um bem por excelência democrático, legitimamente desejado por todos os setores sociais, que constitui direito fundamental da cidadania, obrigação constitucional do Estado e responsabilidade de cada um de nós”. A constituição brasileira de 1988 reconheceu os direitos à vida, à liberdade e à integridade pessoal, considerou a tortura e a discriminação racial como crimes. No entanto, apesar do reconhecimento formal desses direitos, a violência oficial continua a ser usada pelas elites como forma de manter a ordem social. Considera-se que um estudo sobre a ação policial deve estar articulado com a ampliação dos direitos de cidadania, dos espaços de liberdade democrática e da dignidade humana, entendida como “la razón y la consecuencia de la lucha por la democracia y por la justicia” (Flores, 2005). Logo, o trabalho aqui proposto objetiva analisar as relações entre processo de trabalho policial e a consolidação democrática do Estado Brasileiro. Utilizando um olhar privilegiado sobre as dimensões da Violência, da Cidadania, da Democracia e dos Direitos Humanos

Pellucidin A promotes antinociceptive activity by peripheral mechanisms inhibiting COX-2 and NOS: In vivo and in silico study.

Peperomia pellucida (PP) belongs to the Peperomia genus, which has a pantropic distribution. PP is used to treat a wide range of symptoms and diseases, such as pain, inflammation, and hypertension. Intriguingly, PP extract is used by different tropical countries for its anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects. In fact, these outcomes have been shown in animal models, though the exact bioactive products of PP that exert such results are yet to be discovered. To determine and elucidate the mechanism of action of one of these compounds, we evaluated the antinociceptive effect of the novel dimeric ArC2 compound, Pellucidin A by using in vivo and in silico models. Animals were then subjected to chemical, biphasic and thermal models of pain. Pellucidin A induced an antinociceptive effect against chemical-induced pain in mice, demonstrated by the decrease of the number of writhes, reaching a reduction of 43% and 65% in animals treated with 1 and 5 mg/kg of Pellucidin A, respectively. In the biphasic response (central and peripheral), animals treated with Pellucidin A showed a significant reduction of the licking time exclusively during the second phase (inflammatory phase). In the hot-plate test, Pellucidin A did not have any impact on the latency time of the treated animals. Moreover, in vivo and in silico results show that Pellucidin A's mechanism of action in the inflammatory pain occurs most likely through interaction with the nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Our results demonstrate that the antinociceptive activities of Pellucidin A operate under mechanism(s) of peripheral action, involving inflammatory mediators. This work provides insightful novel evidence of the biological properties of Pellucidin A, and leads to a better understanding of its mechanism of action, pointing to potential pharmacological use
