Forensic investigation, truth and trust in the context of transitional justice in Brazil

Exhumation may be defined as the legally sanctioned excavation and recovery of the remains of lawfully buried or – occasionally – cremated individuals, as distinct from forensic excavations of clandestinely buried remains conducted as part of a criminal investigation and from unlawful disinterment of human remains, commonly referred to as 'bodysnatching'. The aim of this article is to review the role of exhumation – so defined – in the activities of CEMEL, the Medico-Legal Centre of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School-University of São Paulo, in international, regional and local collaborations. Exhumations form part of routine forensic anthropology casework; scientific research in physical and forensic anthropology; and forensic casework conducted in collaboration with the Brazilian Federal Police; and are carried out as part of humanitarian investigations into deaths associated with the civil–military dictatorship of 1964 to 1985. This article aims to offer a non-technical summary – with reference to international comparative information – of the role of exhumation in investigative and scientific work and to discuss developments in their historical and political context

IMPACT OF ADHERENCE TO A HIGH-PROTEIN DIET IN CLINICAL TRIALS: METHODOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN ELDERLY GROUPS

Background/objectives: several randomized clinical trials (ECRs) showed no consistent responses of dietary treatments to clinical outcomes. It is speculated that it is due to low adherence to dietary guidelines. It is aimed at identifying the proportion of samples that joined the protein-rich diet and the effect of adhesion in different health outcomes in postmenopausal women. Methods: it was performed in 52 women participating in a physical activity program, all with a protein -rich diet for 12 weeks, with nutritional follow -up. The prescribed diet contained 1.3-1.6g/kg/day of protein, minimum intake of 1.2g/kg/day was considered adhesion. Eight 24 -hour memories were performed by participant. Adhesion was also analyzed in the urinary excretion of urea and uric acid. The effect was analyzed in anthropometric and cardiometabolic parameters. The analysis of unilateral variance was used. Results: Despite significant increase in protein intake, only 38.5% reached the desired intake. A significant increase in urea was observed only in the high protein group (1.16 x 2.57, p <0.05). Women who joined the protein -rich diet (n = 20) had significant clinical results in body mass index, plasma cholesterol and urea levels, both with p <0.05. Conclusion: postmenopausal women showed low adherence to the protein-rich diet, according to metabolite analysis and statistics by unilateral variance analysis. Thus, in ECRs it is essential to consider nutrient intake and not just prescription, also highlighting the importance of food and nutritional education actions to stimulate adherence to the proposed

Educomunicação e suas áreas de intervenção: Novos paradigmas para o diálogo intercultural

oai:omp.abpeducom.org.br:publicationFormat/1O material aqui divulgado representa, em essência, a contribuição do VII Encontro Brasileiro de Educomunicação ao V Global MIL Week, da UNESCO, ocorrido na ECA/USP, entre 3 e 5 de novembro de 2016. Estamos diante de um conjunto de 104 papers executivos, com uma média de entre 7 e 10 páginas, cada um. Com este rico e abundante material, chegamos ao sétimo e-book publicado pela ABPEducom, em seus seis primeiros anos de existência. A especificidade desta obra é a de trazer as “Áreas de Intervenção” do campo da Educomunicação, colocando-as a serviço de uma meta essencial ao agir educomunicativo: o diálogo intercultural, trabalhado na linha do tema geral do evento internacional: Media and Information Literacy: New Paradigms for Intercultural Dialogue
