POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS PARA MULHERES ENCARCERADAS NO BRASIL: UM INSTRUMENTO GARANTIDOR DA DIGNIDADE

RESUMONo Brasil, a situação de mulheres encarceradas ainda se encontra inserida em um panorama frágil em face da incipiência das políticas públicas. De acordo com o levantamento nacional de informações penitenciárias (INFOPEN Mulheres) produzido em 2017 é necessário considerar e garantir os direitos humanos destas mulheres e, para isso, se requer o aprimoramento de políticas que atendam às suas necessidades e tutelem seus direitos específicos. Nesse sentido, este ensaio tem por objetivo analisar os dados existentes neste último relatório com o intuito de verificar se há políticas públicas destinadas às mulheres encarceradas no Brasil e se a dignidade das mulheres presas está sendo observada. Para tanto utilizou-se dos métodos descritivo, exploratório, quali-quantitativo, bem como revisão bibliográfica. Inicialmente, o artigo demonstrou a situação da mulher encarcerada no Brasil. Logo após, abordou-se as políticas públicas necessárias à garantia dos direitos previstos no âmbito interno e internacional. Constatou-se ao final a necessidade de implementação de políticas públicas para as mulheres encarceradas com o intuito de diminuir o encarceramento provisório bem como instrumento garantidor da dignidade da mulher presa. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Dignidade da Pessoa Humana; Mulheres Encarceradas; Políticas Públicas. ABSTRACTIn Brazil, the situation of imprisoned women is still framed in a fragile scenario in the face of the incipience of public policies. According to the national survey of penitentiary information (INFOPEN Women) produced in 2017, it is necessary to consider and guarantee the human rights of these women, and for that, it is necessary to improve policies that meet their needs and protect their specific rights. In this sense, the purpose of this essay is to analyze the data available in this last report in order to verify if there are public policies aimed at women incarcerated in Brazil and whether the dignity of women prisoners is being observed. For this purpose, descriptive, exploratory, qualitative and quantitative methods were used as well as bibliographic review. Initially, the article demonstrated the situation of women incarcerated in Brazil. Shortly afterwards, the public policies necessary to guarantee the rights foreseen in the internal and international scope were discussed. The need to implement public policies for incarcerated women with a view to reducing provisional incarceration as well as an instrument guaranteeing the dignity of women prisoners was confirmed. KEYWORDS: Dignity of the Human Person; Incarcerated Women; Public Policy

Natural Products: Insights into Leishmaniasis Inflammatory Response

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease that affects several populations worldwide, against which there are no vaccines available and the chemotherapy is highly toxic. Depending on the species causing the infection, the disease is characterized by commitment of tissues, including the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. Despite the relevance of host inflammatory mediators on parasite burden control, Leishmania and host immune cells interaction may generate an exacerbated proinflammatory response that plays an important role in the development of leishmaniasis clinical manifestations. Plant-derived natural products have been recognized as bioactive agents with several properties, including anti-protozoal and anti-inflammatory activities. The present review focuses on the antileishmanial activity of plant-derived natural products that are able to modulate the inflammatory response in vitro and in vivo. The capability of crude extracts and some isolated substances in promoting an anti-inflammatory response during Leishmania infection may be used as part of an effective strategy to fight the disease

Genomic history of coastal societies from eastern South America

Sambaqui (shellmound) societies are among the most intriguing archaeological phenomena in pre-colonial South America, extending from approximately 8,000 to 1,000 years before present (yr bp) across 3,000 km on the Atlantic coast. However, little is known about their connection to early Holocene hunter-gatherers, how this may have contributed to different historical pathways and the processes through which late Holocene ceramists came to rule the coast shortly before European contact. To contribute to our understanding of the population history of indigenous societies on the eastern coast of South America, we produced genome-wide data from 34 ancient individuals as early as 10,000 yr bp from four different regions in Brazil. Early Holocene hunter-gatherers were found to lack shared genetic drift among themselves and with later populations from eastern South America, suggesting that they derived from a common radiation and did not contribute substantially to later coastal groups. Our analyses show genetic heterogeneity among contemporaneous Sambaqui groups from the southeastern and southern Brazilian coast, contrary to the similarity expressed in the archaeological record. The complex history of intercultural contact between inland horticulturists and coastal populations becomes genetically evident during the final horizon of Sambaqui societies, from around 2,200 yr bp, corroborating evidence of cultural change

Utilização de controles de gestão nas maiores indústrias catarinenses

Este artigo objetiva demonstrar o efetivo uso dos controles de gestão nas maiores indústrias catarinenses. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo exploratório do tipo levantamento ou survey. Utilizando como parâmetro indústrias com mais de 200 funcionários, a população do estudo, após al-guns ajustes realizados, consistiu de 250 empresas. Para essas foi enviado um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas, via e-mail, obtendo respostas de 36 empresas, que constituíram a amostra da pesquisa. Para tratamento dos dados optou-se por uma abordagem predominantemente quantitativa. Assim, inicia-se o artigo com uma incursão teórica no processo de gestão e nos controles de gestão. Em seguida, procede-se à descrição e análise dos dados, enfocando as características das empresas, o perfil dos respondentes, a utilização dos controles de gestão, as formas de disponibilização das informações geradas pelos controles, bem como os aspectos positivos e negativos percebidos pelos respondentes em relação aos controles de gestão utilizados. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que as empresas valem-se de diversos tipos de controles a fim de auxiliar o processo de gestão.This article aims to demonstrate the effective use of management control systems among the biggest industries in Santa Catarina. The research is characterized as a exploratory survey. Using as a parameter industries with more than 200 employees, the study population, after some adjustments, consisted of 250 companies. A questionnaire with open and closed questions was sent by e-mail. We received answers from 36 companies, which constituted the research sample, using a predominantly quantitative approach for data treatment. The article begins with a theoretical review of the management process and management control systems. Next, data are described and analyzed, focusing on the companies' characteristics, the respondents' profiles, the use of management control systems, the means of making available information generated by control systems, as well as the positive and negative aspects perceived by the respondents in relation to the management controls that are used. The research results show that the companies use several kinds of control systems in order to support the management process
