Procura-se compreender como se dá a dinâmica das relações homoeróticas entre gays em duas boates GLS de Belém: Lux e Malícia. Enquanto problemática, questiona-se se o fato de um gay frequentar algum desses lugares é relevante ou não, na busca por parceiros. Utilizam-se, para compor análises interseccionais, alguns recortes como gênero, classe e idade / geração, procurando entender de que modo influenciam nas escolhas, expectativas e trajetos: dificultando, facilitando, limitando ou abrindo possibilidades ao estabelecimento de relações homoeróticas entre gays. A escolha dos entrevistados partiu do que chamei de “grau de variação sócio-cultural”: “negros”, “brancos”, de classes sociais distintas, velhos, novos, com performance de gênero masculina, com performance de gênero feminina; Entre outras palavras, a intenção foi abarcar a maior diversidade de pessoas: moradores de bairros centrais ou periféricos, que consumissem produtos distintos, com grau de escolaridade variado, que estivessem em diversas fases da vida. À guisa de finalizações, o que se pode perceber é a não-dicotomização – ficar ou namorar? – por meio das interações nos espaços supracitados; por maior que seja o interesse em estabelecer vínculos maiores de afeto, sexo etc. Contudo, existem outros pontos de destaque: encontrar amigos, participar de festas temáticas, diversão, música, ambiente, pessoas etc.This work aims at understanding the dynamics of the relations between gays in two clubs GLS of Belém: Lux and Malícia. As a problematics, it is questioned whether the fact of a gay attending some of these places is relevant, or not, in search for partners. Some frameworks were used to compose intersectional analyses, to know: gender, social class and age / generation, looking to understand in which ways that influences in the choices, expectations and interactions: making it difficult, facilitating, limiting or opening possibilities to the establishment of relationships between gays. The choice of interviewed ones departed from what I called degree of partner’s cultural variation: “afro-descendents”, “caucasians”, of distinct social classes, oldsters, youngsters, with masculine gender performance, or feminine gender performance. In other words, the intention was to open the study to a larger diversity of people: inhabitants of central or peripherals neighborhoods that consumed distinct, with varied degree of education, which was in diverse stages of the life. As finishing, it was noticed the non-dichotomization – to have a casual encounter or a mentioned spaces; though, greater was the interest in establishing bigger bonds of affection, sex and so on. However, other points were prominent: finding friends, participating of thematic parties, diversion, music, environment, people, etc

Entre Fluxos e Contrafluxos, “Periferias” e “Centros”: descentralizando sociabilidades homossexuais na cidade de São Paulo

Este artigo objetiva mostrar a circulação de homossexuais pela cidade de São Paulo, evidenciando os fluxos e contrafluxos desse deslocamento, tanto na periferia quanto no centro. Neste sentido, e com base em dados de pesquisa, constatou-se haver heterogeneidade na produção de corporalidades e estilos relacionados à homossexualidade, assim também processos de diferenciação, identificação e subjetivação fortemente associados ao aspecto da circulação

Líderes humanizados: produção maximizada: a importância de uma grade interdisciplinar em cursos de graduação de engenharia / Humanized leaders: maximized production: the importance of an interdisciplinary grid in engineering degree courses

O projeto objetivo discorrer os conceitos de liderança passíveis de serem aplicados na Indústria 4.0 e a suma importância de matérias que mostrem a primordialidade do controle emocional para formação de um engenheiro, preparando-o para enfrentar desafios desse novo modelo de gestão advindo da Quarta Revolução Industrial que foca cada vez mais nas Softs Skills, uma vez que apenas o conhecimento técnico já não garante o triunfo profissional. Para isso, foram citados exemplos reais e todo o estudo foi embasado em uma vasta referência bibliográfica, que transita de “A Arte da Guerra” clássico de Sun Tzu – até o contemporâneo “O Monge e o Executivo”, de James C. Hunter.

Tratamento de maxila atrófica com implante personalizado: relato de caso

Atualmente, um dos maiores desafios para a implantodontia é reestabelecer e reconstruir as funções fisiológicas, estéticas e fonéticas em maxilas atróficas. Quando o nível ósseo do paciente não permite a instalação dos implantes convencionais, o tratamento de reabilitação pode ser realizado através dos procedimentos cirúrgicos reabilitadores, utilizando a tecnologia customizada, fabricada a base de titânio, a partir de análise computadorizada de toda a anatomia bucomaxilofacial do paciente. Neste trabalho é relatar um caso de uma paciente com perda óssea severa em região maxilar, sendo feita a reconstrução utilizando a precisão da Prótese Customizada da Maxila para Reabilitação Protética implantossuportada

Non-invasive characterization of the painting Saint John the Evangelist by means spectroscopic methods

In this work, the pigments and ground layers of the Saint John the Evangelist painting were analyzed using the techniques of computed radiography, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The painting was purchased by a collector at auction as a 19th-century work of art of unknown authorship. XRF analyzes were performed with a voltage of 40 kV, current of 50 µA, and acquisition time of 60 s. Micro-Raman spectroscopy measurements of a black fragment sample were performed with the Thermo Scientific – DXR2 Raman microscope equipment. The sample was excited by the adjusted 785 nm laser source with a power of 4 mW, focused on the sample using a 100x objective. It was possible to characterize the pigments used in the painting of São João Evangelista as Lead White, Vermilion, Carbon Black, and Ocher. No areas of repainting and modern pigments were identified that could suggest any type of intervention

Factors Associated with Emotion Regulation in Men with Internet Access Living in Brazil during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Objective: to evaluate the factors associated with emotion regulation in men with internet access living in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: an epidemiological survey, conducted with 1015 men. An electronic form was applied containing sociodemographic and occu-pational characteristics, support and coping strategies, as well as emotional and behavioral aspects. Emotion regulation was assessed using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Results: The prevalence values observed were 44.6% for Low Cognitive Reappraisal and of 47.1% for High Emotional Sup-pression. The following factors were identified as associated: (a) with Low Cognitive Reappraisal: being aged 30 years old or more, practicing physical activity, worrying about social distancing and having positive emotions and feelings; and (b) with High Emotional Suppression: being heterosexual, non-white race/skin color, having security support or public administration, not sanitizing food, worrying about lack of physical activity and not having negative emotions. Conclusion: the adoption of emotion regulation strategies was associated with individual, contextual and emotional/behavioral characteristics. Masculinity ideals seem to exert an influence on these relationships.publishersversionpublishe

Psychological Distress in Men during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil: The Role of the Sociodemographic Variables, Uncertainty, and Social Support

Objective: To analyze the relationships between sociodemographic variables, intolerance to uncertainty (INT), social support, and psychological distress (i.e., indicators of Common Mental Disorders (CMDs) and perceived stress (PS)) in Brazilian men during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study with national coverage, of the web survey type, and conducted with 1006 Brazilian men during the period of social circulation restriction imposed by the health authorities in Brazil for suppression of the coronavirus and control of the pandemic. Structural equation modeling analysis was performed. Results: Statistically significant direct effects of race/skin color ( = 0.268; p-value < 0.001), socioeconomic status (SES) ( = 0.306; p-value < 0.001), household composition( = 0.281; p-value < 0.001), PS ( = 0.513; p-value < 0.001), and INT ( = 0.421; p-value < 0.001) were evidenced in the occurrence of CMDs. Black-skinned men with higher SES, living alone, and with higher PS and INT levels presented higher prevalence values of CMDs. Conclusions: High levels of PS and INT were the factors that presented the strongest associations with the occurrence of CMDs among the men. It is necessary to implement actions to reduce the stress-generating sources as well as to promote an increase in resilience and the development of intrinsic reinforcements to deal with uncertain threats.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Measuring performance on the Healthcare Access and Quality Index for 195 countries and territories and selected subnational locations: A systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Background: A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) Index for 195 countries and territories, as well as subnational locations in seven countries, from 1990 to 2016. Methods Drawing from established methods and updated estimates from GBD 2016, we used 32 causes from which death should not occur in the presence of effective care to approximate personal health-care access and quality by location and over time. To better isolate potential effects of personal health-care access and quality from underlying risk factor patterns, we risk-standardised cause-specific deaths due to non-cancers by location-year, replacing the local joint exposure of environmental and behavioural risks with the global level of exposure. Supported by the expansion of cancer registry data in GBD 2016, we used mortality-to-incidence ratios for cancers instead of risk-standardised death rates to provide a stronger signal of the effects of personal health care and access on cancer survival. We transformed each cause to a scale of 0-100, with 0 as the first percentile (worst) observed between 1990 and 2016, and 100 as the 99th percentile (best); we set these thresholds at the country level, and then applied them to subnational locations. We applied a principal components analysis to construct the HAQ Index using all scaled cause values, providing an overall score of 0-100 of personal health-care access and quality by location over time. We then compared HAQ Index levels and trends by quintiles on the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a summary measure of overall development. As derived from the broader GBD study and other data sources, we examined relationships between national HAQ Index scores and potential correlates of performance, such as total health spending per capita. Findings In 2016, HAQ Index performance spanned from a high of 97\ub71 (95% UI 95\ub78-98\ub71) in Iceland, followed by 96\ub76 (94\ub79-97\ub79) in Norway and 96\ub71 (94\ub75-97\ub73) in the Netherlands, to values as low as 18\ub76 (13\ub71-24\ub74) in the Central African Republic, 19\ub70 (14\ub73-23\ub77) in Somalia, and 23\ub74 (20\ub72-26\ub78) in Guinea-Bissau. The pace of progress achieved between 1990 and 2016 varied, with markedly faster improvements occurring between 2000 and 2016 for many countries in sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia, whereas several countries in Latin America and elsewhere saw progress stagnate after experiencing considerable advances in the HAQ Index between 1990 and 2000. Striking subnational disparities emerged in personal health-care access and quality, with China and India having particularly large gaps between locations with the highest and lowest scores in 2016. In China, performance ranged from 91\ub75 (89\ub71-93\ub76) in Beijing to 48\ub70 (43\ub74-53\ub72) in Tibet (a 43\ub75-point difference), while India saw a 30\ub78-point disparity, from 64\ub78 (59\ub76-68\ub78) in Goa to 34\ub70 (30\ub73-38\ub71) in Assam. Japan recorded the smallest range in subnational HAQ performance in 2016 (a 4\ub78-point difference), whereas differences between subnational locations with the highest and lowest HAQ Index values were more than two times as high for the USA and three times as high for England. State-level gaps in the HAQ Index in Mexico somewhat narrowed from 1990 to 2016 (from a 20\ub79-point to 17\ub70-point difference), whereas in Brazil, disparities slightly increased across states during this time (a 17\ub72-point to 20\ub74-point difference). Performance on the HAQ Index showed strong linkages to overall development, with high and high-middle SDI countries generally having higher scores and faster gains for non-communicable diseases. Nonetheless, countries across the development spectrum saw substantial gains in some key health service areas from 2000 to 2016, most notably vaccine-preventable diseases. Overall, national performance on the HAQ Index was positively associated with higher levels of total health spending per capita, as well as health systems inputs, but these relationships were quite heterogeneous, particularly among low-to-middle SDI countries. Interpretation GBD 2016 provides a more detailed understanding of past success and current challenges in improving personal health-care access and quality worldwide. Despite substantial gains since 2000, many low-SDI and middle- SDI countries face considerable challenges unless heightened policy action and investments focus on advancing access to and quality of health care across key health services, especially non-communicable diseases. Stagnating or minimal improvements experienced by several low-middle to high-middle SDI countries could reflect the complexities of re-orienting both primary and secondary health-care services beyond the more limited foci of the Millennium Development Goals. Alongside initiatives to strengthen public health programmes, the pursuit of universal health coverage hinges upon improving both access and quality worldwide, and thus requires adopting a more comprehensive view-and subsequent provision-of quality health care for all populations
