Triunfo, desgraça e outros impostores: um ensaio sobre hierarquia e exclusão no esporte e nas relações internacionais Triumph, disaster and other impostors: an essay on hierarchy and exclusion in sports and international relations

O objetivo é examinar as limitações da visão cosmopolita em torno do esporte e da atuação das organizações internacionais no estímulo às atividades esportivas como meio de reconciliação social em zonas de conflito e promoção dos direitos humanos. O argumento central indica que o fato de viabilizar maior contato entre diferentes culturas não significa que o esporte tenha o potencial de fazer transformações de larga escala na interação com o Outro. Além disso, o estímulo à cooperação social no âmbito esportivo tem menos relação com a eliminação de hierarquias de longa data entre as diferenças e sim com a satisfação de interesses políticos e econômicos de diversos atores no sistema internacional. É possível perceber a permanência de estruturas logocêntricas e de formas dicotômicas de pensar que marcam a linguagem e o pensamento na interação entre as relações internacionais e o esporte. As organizações internacionais - muitas dominadas por Estados autointeressados - fazem pouco para incorporar a maioria das pessoas com pouca oportunidade, e suas iniciativas de incentivo ao esporte para a paz e desenvolvimento recebem poucas verbas, são pouco planejadas e não atuam de forma a promover uma transformação efetiva e de larga escala das visões depreciativas sobre a diferença.<br>The aim is to examine the limitations of the cosmopolitan view on sport and the role of international organizations in fostering sports as means of social reconciliation in conflict areas and promotion of human rights. The central argument indicates that the fact of bringing greater contact between different cultures does not mean that sport has the potential to make large-scale transformations in the interaction with the Other. Furthermore, the stimulus to social cooperation in sports has less to do with the elimination of longstanding hierarchies between differences than with the satisfaction of political and economic interests of various actors in the international system. It is possible to see the persistence of logocentric and dichotomous ways of thinking that characterize language and thought in the relationship between international relations and sport. International organizations - many are dominated by self-interested states - do little to incorporate the majority of people with less opportunities, and their initiatives to encourage sport for peace and development receive little funding, are poorly designed and do not act to promote an effective and large-scale transformation of disparaging views about the difference

Evaluating patients&apos; unmet needs in hidradenitis suppurativa: Results from the Global Survey Of Impact and Healthcare Needs (VOICE) Project

Background: A needs assessment for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) will support advancements in multidisciplinary care, treatment, research, advocacy, and philanthropy. Objective: To evaluate unmet needs from the perspective of HS patients. Methods: Prospective multinational survey of patients between October 2017 and July 2018. Results: Before receiving a formal HS diagnosis, 63.7% (n = 827) of patients visited a physician ≥5 times. Mean delay in diagnosis was 10.2 ± 8.9 years. Patients experienced flare daily, weekly, or monthly in 23.0%, 29.8%, and 31.1%, respectively. Most (61.4% [n = 798]) rated recent HS-related pain as moderate or higher, and 4.5% described recent pain to be the worst possible. Access to dermatology was rated as difficult by 37.0% (n = 481). Patients reported visiting the emergency department and hospital ≥5 times for symptoms in 18.3% and 12.5%, respectively. An extreme impact on life was reported by 43.3% (n = 563), and 14.5% were disabled due to disease. Patients reported a high frequency of comorbidities, most commonly mood disorders. Patients were dissatisfied with medical or procedural treatments in 45.9% and 34.6%, respectively. Limitations: Data were self-reported. Patients with more severe disease may have been selected. Conclusion: HS patients have identified several critical unmet needs that will require stakeholder collaboration to meaningfully address. © 2019 American Academy of Dermatology, Inc
