Representações sociais de mulheres universitárias jogadoras de GTA: gênero, violência e sexualidade

Electronic games have gained worldwide prominence, occupying a growing social space. This study aimed to analyze the conceptions of 10 Grand Theft Auto (GTA) players interviewed about their opinions about the game. The information was submitted to content analysis, through which the thematic nuclei of gender, violence and sexuality were identified. To interpret the results, the Theory of Social Representations was used. There was a predominance of masculinity as active domination, in which the woman mirrors the victimized, degenerate and passive feminine. The concepts implied in the game denote that relationships can be perpetuated, asymmetrical and unequal, anchored in a notion that for there to be a strong there must be a weak and, for some to dominate, others must be dominated. In conclusion, this study offers elements to reflect on the impacts caused by the use of GTA games, specifically with regard to the setbacks caused by the advances obtained by society through its civilizing milestones, and expresses the way in which women are treated socially, evidencing structural machismo. These games, therefore, function as a social cut, in which, in a forceful way, they construct the socially imposed gender roles.Los juegos electrónicos han ganado protagonismo en nivel mundial, ocupando un espacio social creciente.

En conclusión, este estudio ofrece elementos para reflexionar sobre los impactos que provoca el uso de los juegos GTA, específicamente en cuanto a los retrocesos causados a los avances obtenidos por la sociedad a través de sus hitos civilizatorios, y expresa la forma cómo las mujeres son tratadas socialmente, evidenciando el machismo estructural. Estos juegos, por tanto, funcionan como un recorte social, en el que, de forma contundente, se construyen los roles de género socialmente impuestos.Os jogos eletrônicos têm conquistado destaque mundial, ocupando espaço social crescente.

2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015

Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

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
