GESTÃO TRANS: A TRANSVERSALIDADE ENTRE O TRABALHO E O “FORA”
Este ensaio problematiza, a partir da Filosofia da Diferença, a gestão do trabalho como um campo de experimentação. A gestão é concebida como a operação de uma “relação paradoxal” entre os dois planos: o plano das formas e o plano das forças. A gestão tradicional é analisada como o modo de exercício da relação entre esses planos que busca conter o impacto das singularidades sobre o plano das formas e consolidar as tendências existentes nos estratos – uma gestão centrada no plano de organização. Como alternativa, é proposta uma gestão que aposta na construção de dispositivos transversalizadores, que buscam produzir fissuras, favorecer os encontros “afectivos”, promover a produção de contágios e a permeabilização dos estratos às intensidades – como um movimento de reversão das tendências já inscritas nos estratos, como uma maneira singular de combinar a forma (o estratificado) como o informe (o Fora): condição para a invenção do novo
Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Background: In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of diseases and injuries. Methods: GBD estimates incidence, prevalence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to 369 diseases and injuries, for two sexes, and for 204 countries and territories. Input data were extracted from censuses, household surveys, civil registration and vital statistics, disease registries, health service use, air pollution monitors, satellite imaging, disease notifications, and other sources. Cause-specific death rates and cause fractions were calculated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model and spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression. Cause-specific deaths were adjusted to match the total all-cause deaths calculated as part of the GBD population, fertility, and mortality estimates. Deaths were multiplied by standard life expectancy at each age to calculate YLLs. A Bayesian meta-regression modelling tool, DisMod-MR 2.1, was used to ensure consistency between incidence, prevalence, remission, excess mortality, and cause-specific mortality for most causes. Prevalence estimates were multiplied by disability weights for mutually exclusive sequelae of diseases and injuries to calculate YLDs. We considered results in the context of the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite indicator of income per capita, years of schooling, and fertility rate in females younger than 25 years. Uncertainty intervals (UIs) were generated for every metric using the 25th and 975th ordered 1000 draw values of the posterior distribution. Findings: Global health has steadily improved over the past 30 years as measured by age-standardised DALY rates. After taking into account population growth and ageing, the absolute number of DALYs has remained stable. Since 2010, the pace of decline in global age-standardised DALY rates has accelerated in age groups younger than 50 years compared with the 1990–2010 time period, with the greatest annualised rate of decline occurring in the 0–9-year age group. Six infectious diseases were among the top ten causes of DALYs in children younger than 10 years in 2019: lower respiratory infections (ranked second), diarrhoeal diseases (third), malaria (fifth), meningitis (sixth), whooping cough (ninth), and sexually transmitted infections (which, in this age group, is fully accounted for by congenital syphilis; ranked tenth). In adolescents aged 10–24 years, three injury causes were among the top causes of DALYs: road injuries (ranked first), self-harm (third), and interpersonal violence (fifth). Five of the causes that were in the top ten for ages 10–24 years were also in the top ten in the 25–49-year age group: road injuries (ranked first), HIV/AIDS (second), low back pain (fourth), headache disorders (fifth), and depressive disorders (sixth). In 2019, ischaemic heart disease and stroke were the top-ranked causes of DALYs in both the 50–74-year and 75-years-and-older age groups. Since 1990, there has been a marked shift towards a greater proportion of burden due to YLDs from non-communicable diseases and injuries. In 2019, there were 11 countries where non-communicable disease and injury YLDs constituted more than half of all disease burden. Decreases in age-standardised DALY rates have accelerated over the past decade in countries at the lower end of the SDI range, while improvements have started to stagnate or even reverse in countries with higher SDI. Interpretation: As disability becomes an increasingly large component of disease burden and a larger component of health expenditure, greater research and developm nt investment is needed to identify new, more effective intervention strategies. With a rapidly ageing global population, the demands on health services to deal with disabling outcomes, which increase with age, will require policy makers to anticipate these changes. The mix of universal and more geographically specific influences on health reinforces the need for regular reporting on population health in detail and by underlying cause to help decision makers to identify success stories of disease control to emulate, as well as opportunities to improve.

At the margin of the park : social inequality in urban environmental planning in the Santo Domingo greenbelt
textGreenbelts have been used around the world to control urban growth and to enhance the natural environment of cities since the last century. However, some Latin American governments, influenced by urban renewal principles and modern planning, have implemented greenbelts to beautify and order cities. Much criticism has arisen about the social repercussions of using greenbelts as a way to control citizen behavior, which in many cases has resulted in exclusionary practices, especially of low-income populations. Based on a case study that documents and analyzes the uses and perceptions of residents of the informal settlement, Los Platanitos, of the Parque Nacional Mirador Norte, my research attempts to illuminate the political and social processes shaping urban environmental planning in Santo Domingo in order to understand practices of exclusion and marginalization in contexts marked by socioeconomic inequalities.Architectur
La souffrance du corps vécu dans la danse professionnelle
Nous savons que nous vivons dans un monde complexe où les symptômes peuvent être la manifestation de l'époque, ils sont pour nous comme hiéroglyphes que nous devons déchiffrer. La danse, en tant qu'institution, est un paradigme du discours de l'idéal social, dans lequel les danseurs/danseuses sont immergé(e)s, qui les enferme dans une stricte aliénation, les assujettissant à des règles qui contribuent au contrôle social en les obligeant à construire une représentation de leur image corporelle qui modifie leur équilibre psychosomatique. Pourtant une certaine souffrance du corps, chez les danseurs/danseuses, se manifeste d'une façon paradoxale, puisqu'elle s accompagne d'une certaine jouissance. La souffrance physique du corps, est un phénomène complexe qui apparaîtrait dans les groupes de danse classique professionnelle comme liée à une souffrance psychique consécutive à des facteurs sociaux, politiques, économiques et culturels. Toutefois, cette souffrance se manifeste entre autres dans des comportements alimentaires comme l'anorexie et la boulimie, peut-être à cause de la violence qui existe dans le milieu de la danse dans le but de construire un corps modelé, obéissant et performant. Pour comprendre comment la production esthétique s annonce symboliquement dans le registre du désir, le désir d'un autre, où le narcissisme du danseur ou de la danseuse les amène à avoir un corps souffrant comme manifestation de leur identité, de sa recherche d'identité. Que cherchent-ils/elles ou qu'ont-ils/elles perdu dans cet exercice de parler sans voix mais en dansant avec son corps ? Pourquoi peuvent-ils/elles tenir et supporter autant de douleur et de souffrance ?LYON2/BRON-BU (690292101) / SudocSudocFranceF

The Real World: Differential Equations
Mathematics can be used, and is used, to describe the physical phenomena of the world we live in. Differential equations are an application of the ideas of calculus to our everyday lives. In differential equations we seek to model real-life situations in Mathematical terms. Thus, differential equations are used for scientific modeling to describe the dynamics of diverse state variables, such as daily temperature, proportion of a population infected by influenza, chemical concentration in a tank, or stock prices by observing real-time data. Once the model is created it is used as a representation of the real-world system and predictions about future states and both observable and unobservable behaviors can be made. The tools of modeling and utilization of analytic, qualitative, and numerical techniques for solving differential equations allow for an unlocking of the world’s mysteries. We utilize the techniques of differential equations to study problems in immunology and the famous 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows bridge

Effects of Varying Epoch Lengths, Wear Time Algorithms, and Activity Cut-Points on Estimates of Child Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity from Accelerometer Data
<div><p>Objective</p><p>To examine the effects of accelerometer epoch lengths, wear time (WT) algorithms, and activity cut-points on estimates of WT, sedentary behavior (SB), and physical activity (PA).</p><p>Methods</p><p>268 7–11 year-olds with BMI ≥ 85<sup>th</sup> percentile for age and sex wore accelerometers on their right hips for 4–7 days. Data were processed and analyzed at epoch lengths of 1-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 30-, and 60-seconds. For each epoch length, WT minutes/day was determined using three common WT algorithms, and minutes/day and percent time spent in SB, light (LPA), moderate (MPA), and vigorous (VPA) PA were determined using five common activity cut-points. ANOVA tested differences in WT, SB, LPA, MPA, VPA, and MVPA when using the different epoch lengths, WT algorithms, and activity cut-points.</p><p>Results</p><p>WT minutes/day varied significantly by epoch length when using the NHANES WT algorithm (p < .0001), but did not vary significantly by epoch length when using the ≥ 20 minute consecutive zero or Choi WT algorithms. Minutes/day and percent time spent in SB, LPA, MPA, VPA, and MVPA varied significantly by epoch length for all sets of activity cut-points tested with all three WT algorithms (all p < .0001). Across all epoch lengths, minutes/day and percent time spent in SB, LPA, MPA, VPA, and MVPA also varied significantly across all sets of activity cut-points with all three WT algorithms (all p < .0001).</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>The common practice of converting WT algorithms and activity cut-point definitions to match different epoch lengths may introduce significant errors. Estimates of SB and PA from studies that process and analyze data using different epoch lengths, WT algorithms, and/or activity cut-points are not comparable, potentially leading to very different results, interpretations, and conclusions, misleading research and public policy.</p></div
