This chapter analyses an urban self-management project developed by the partnership between a social housing movement — Movimento Nacional de Luta pela Moradia/MNLM (National Movement of Struggle for Housing) and a public university — Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro/UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) in a land occupation in the metropolitan periphery of Rio de Janeiro. Solano Trindade occupation, located in the peripheral city "Duque de Caxias", has as its main innovation the social movement-university partnership in the collective construction of ways to associate housing and emancipated work through technical and political training. The article presents activities developed in the context of this partnership during the collective production of housing, urban services and agroecological products with alternative technologies, highlighting the interactions between the agents and the tension between scientific and popular knowledge.

Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go is the most popular location-based game worldwide. As a location-based game, Pokémon Go’s gameplay is connected to networked urban mobility. However, urban mobility differs significantly around the world. Large metropoles in South America and Africa, for example, experience ingrained social, cultural, and economic inequalities. With this in mind, we interviewed Pokémon Go players in two Global South cities, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Nairobi (Kenya), to understand how players navigate urban spaces not only based on gameplay but with broader concerns for safety. Our findings reveal that players negotiate their urban mobilities based on perceptions of risk and safety, choosing how to move around and avoiding areas known for violence and theft. These findings are relevant for understanding the social and political aspects of networked urban spaces as well as for investigating games as venues through which we can understand ordinary life, racial, gender, and socioeconomic inequalities.

Background and Objectives: To perform a retrospective report on the lethality of COVID-19 in different realities in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Materials and Methods: We accomplished an observational study by collecting the data about total confirmed cases and deaths due to COVID-19 in the top 10 high social developed neighborhoods and top 10 most populous favelas in RJ to determine the case-fatality rate (CFR) and compare these two different realities. Results: CFR was significatively higher in poverty areas of RJ, reaching a mean of 9.08% in the most populous favelas and a mean of 4.87% in the socially developed neighborhoods. Conclusions: The social mitigation measures adopted in RJ have benefited only smaller portions of the population, excluding needy communities.

The Difference

Governability is quite ofien used as an "umbrella concept", under which both the capacity of governance (manner in which power is exercised in the management of a territory) and the governability in the strict sense of the word (acceptation of the social and political status quo by the people) are subsumed. The first part of this article underlies the difference between these two concepts The second part examines facts in relation to governance and governability problems in Rio de Janeiro, and discusses some ideologically generated current exaggerations about the governability crisis in this metropolis, as suggested by the experience of the 1980s and 1990s.

Menopause Rating Scale

Introdução: A síndrome climatérica é composta de sintomas variados, e a frequência e a intensidade com que ocorrem diferem nas mulheres de acordo com os grupos etários, étnicos-raciais, níveis socioeconômicos e culturais. Os sintomas vasomotores estão diretamente relacionados com o hipoestrogenismo, entretanto não há consenso sobre a existência de síndrome psicoafetiva verdadeira associada ao hipoestrogenismo. A depressão interfere na qualidade de vida das mulheres. No entanto, é questionável se no climatério a prevalência de depressão aumenta, e os resultados dos estudos são contraditórios. Objetivo: Determinar a associação entre depressão e intensidade dos sintomas climatéricos. Metodologia: Estudo transversal com 109 mulheres na pós-menopausa, entre 45 e 65 anos, atendidas no ambulatório de ginecologia de uma instituição pública do Rio de Janeiro. Foram utilizados o Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) e o Mental International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Os dados foram transcritos e armazenados no programa Microsoft Office Excel versão 2013, e as análises estatísticas foram realizadas no programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 17.0. As variáveis contínuas foram descritas por medidas de tendência central (média ou mediana) e de dispersão (percentis 25 e 75). Para as variáveis categóricas, foi realizada análise bivariada por meio do teste χ2, adotando intervalo de confiança de 95% e nível de significância de 5%. Utilizou-se p<0,05 para significância estatística. Resultados: A média de idade das participantes foi 57,5±4,6 anos. A prevalência de depressão foi de 20,2%. A análise de regressão logística revelou que a depressão na pós-menopausa está associada com os sintomas climatéricos severos (OR:17,6) e com a história de depressão prévia (OR:3,9). Conclusão: Os sintomas climatéricos severos estão associados com maior prevalência de depressão nas mulheres na pós-menopausa.

AbstractThe article addresses the social differentiation among industrial workforces in two Yugoslav motor-vehicle factories in the period between 1965 and 1985. Along which lines did social inequalities, which were negated in official communist ideology manifest and how were they articulated? How were they dealt with in the complex environments of self-managed enterprises in respect to the official doctrine? Based on archival material from factory archives, the League of Communists and the socialist mass organisations and on published sources such as factory newspapers, the industrial workforces are described as heterogeneous with shifting affiliations between its sub-groups. Three dividing factors (1. blue-collar vs. white collar workers, 2. gender and 3. profession) are examined. Intersectional entanglements can be found, which systematically accumulated social advantages for certain social groups. Serbian and Slovene enterprises demonstrate many comparable tendencies. In reaction, official ideology attempted to detract attention from social stratification, employing symbolic recognition and calls for greater implementation of the principles of self-management.

Through a critical review of the literature on education for diabetes self-care and self-management, it was sought to point out the inappropriateness of traditional approaches towards compliance with treatment and transmission of information, considering the complexity of self-care under chronic conditions. The influence of the social sciences on the field of studies on chronic degenerative diseases in general, and diabetes in particular, was explored. From this perspective, it can be recognized that the fields of anthropology and sociology have been incorporated into research focusing more on individuals as patients, and on the experience gained through this process. Recently, there has been a slight change within the field of health education research relating to diabetes, with the introduction of strategies that seek to value the experience and autonomy of patients as self-care agents. This paper discusses the strategy for empowerment in education for diabetes self-care and self-management, as a dialogue-focused practice that respects patients' moral and cognitive autonomy.

A pesar de la globalización de la economía y los incesantes intentos por subordinar todas las formas de producción a la lógica de la acumulación capitalista, la resistencia de los trabajadores persiste mediante la implementación de diversos modelos de gestión social del trabajo, entre los que destacan los puestos en marcha por los actores de la economía popular, la economía social y la economía solidaria. Precisar la identidad organizacional de estas tres formas de trabajo, para el caso específico de México, constituye el propósito principal del presente artículo, habiéndose identificado que, por su naturaleza, el sistema de trabajo que corresponde a cada una de ellas es de tipo autónomo, asociativo-autogestionario y asociativo-autogestionario-solidario, respectivamente. Despite the globalization of the economy and the incessant attempts to subordinate all forms of production to the logic of capitalist accumulation, the resistance of workers persists through the implementation of various models of social work management, among which the posts launched by the actors of the popular economy, the social economy and the solidarity economy. Specify the organizational identity of these three forms of work, for the specific case of Mexico, is the main purpose of this article, having identified that, by its nature, the work system that corresponds to each of them is of autonomous type, associative-self-management and associative-self-management-solidarity, respectively.
