<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a correlação entre os valores de irregularidade longitudinal efetuados com o perfilômetro inercial a laser com 3 sensores dispostos em 3 posições diferentes, em rodovias estaduais do Ceará. Na posição normal foram selecionados 72 trechos na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza (RMF), dentre estes trechos iniciais foram selecionados 42 com os sensores dispostos no lado direito (LD) e no lado esquerdo (LE). O <em>Software Ciberlogger </em>foi utilizado para a coleta dos dados e para a determinação dos perfis longitudinais dos pavimentos, enquanto que o <em>Software Cibershell </em>foi usado para o cálculo do Índice de Irregularidade longitudinal (IRI). Nas equações de regressão estabelecidas, foram utilizados os programas <em>Microsoft Office Excel </em>e SPSS (<em>Statistical Package for the Social Sciences</em>), usando a Análise da Variância (ANOVA). Os resultados mostram que há correlação entre os valores do IRI medidos nas trilhas interna e externa, IRIint x IRIext, obtidos com a localização dos sensores na posição normal. As análises mostram também que há correlação entre estes mesmos valores e os obtidos com os sensores dispostos no LD e LE.</p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between the values of the International Roughness Index – IRI, measured with an inertial laser profilometer with 3 sensors in 3 different positions. The pavements investigated were from roads of the state of Ceará. In the normal position, seventy two sections of the state road network were selected, from Fortaleza Metropolitan Region (RMF), among these, 42 were selected with the sensors placed in the right (LD) and in left (LE) side. The <em>Softwares Ciberlogger and Cibershell </em>were used for data collection and for determining the longitudinal road profile The programs <em>Microsoft Office Excel </em>and SPSS (<em>Statistical Package for the Social Sciences</em>) were used for the regression equations and analysis of variance. The results indicate a correlation between IRI values measured from the inbound and outbound wheel path, obtained with the sensors located in normal position. The analysis also suggests a correlation between these values and results obtained with the sensors placed in LD and LE.

Method Approach

The social sciences in Latin America have always had a special connection with the study and analysis of the place of emotions in the social structuration processes. The aim of this article is to offer a synthetic exposition of some inquiries about emotions and the politics of sensibilities in Latin America, emphasizing those that are being felt in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this objective, first we offer a synthesis of the theoretical and methodological points that will guide the interpretation; then we draw on pre-existing inquiries and surveys which allow us to capture the state of sensibilities before and during the pandemic in the region; and finally some conclusions are presented. The work is based on a multi-method approach, where qualitative and quantitative secondary and primary data are articulated in tandem.

Stabilizing American Society: Kenneth Boulding and the Integration of the Social Sciences, 1943–1980

ArgumentFor more than thirty years after World War II, the unconventional economist Kenneth E. Boulding (1910–1993) was a fervent advocate of the integration of the social sciences. Building on common general principles from various fields, notably economics, political science, and sociology, Boulding claimed that an integrated social science in which mental images were recognized as the main determinant of human behavior would allow for a better understanding of society. Boulding's approach culminated in the social triangle, a view of society as comprised of three main social organizers – exchange, threat, and love – combined in varying proportions. According to this view, the problems of American society were caused by an unbalanced combination of these three organizers. The goal of integrated social scientific knowledge was therefore to help policy makers achieve the “right” proportions of exchange, threat, and love that would lead to social stabilization. Though he was hopeful that cross-disciplinary exchanges would overcome the shortcomings of too narrow specialization, Boulding found that rather than being the locus of a peaceful and mutually beneficial exchange, disciplinary boundaries were often the occasion of conflict and miscommunication.

This paper inquires into the implications of the different discursive imaginations on civil societies and the state from the perspective of the social sciences, particularly political science and international relations. It focuses on some interfaces and tensions that exist between civil society on one hand, and the state and its bureaucratic instrumentalities on the other, particularly in the domain of environment and natural resources governance in the context of new regionalisms and of alternative concepts of human security. There is now a new context for regionalism in Southeast Asia, not only among state structures, such as the ASEAN and the various Mekong bodies, but also among local civil societies coming from the region. It is in this context that issues confronting local communities are given a new sphere for interaction, as well as a new platform for engaging state structures and processes. This paper illustrates how dynamic are the possibilities for non-state domains for transnational interactions, particularly in the context of the emerging environmental regionalism. This occurs despite the dominance of neo-realist political theorizing, and the state-centric nature of international interactions.

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.

The purpose of this study is to study the research potential of the phenomenological approach in the social sciences, which emerged in the first half of the XX century as a critique of the dominant method of logical positivism at that time. The following scientific approaches and methods were used in the article: the method of analysis, description and comparison, as well as the phenomenological approach. The author has made an attempt to prove the significance of phenomenology in the social sciences by means of comparison as a way not only to describe facts, but also to explain motives and unobservable meanings. According to the results of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that the solution of urgent problems of society through the practical application of the acquired knowledge about society is possible only if the phenomenological method is actively applied in such a scientific and practical discipline as public administration. This will help to overcome the bureaucratization of the civil service, the isolation of the state administrative apparatus from real social problems, as well as to involve the population itself in the process of public administration, establishing feedback.

The Relationship

This chapter proposes a counter-history of a seminal debate in the transition from structuralism to post-structuralism. It calls into question the widespread assumption that Derrida rejects Foucault’s structuralist stranglehold by demonstrating that the meaning of a text always remains open. Through a meticulous examination of their respective historical paradigms, methodological orientations and hermeneutic parameters, it argues that Derrida’s critique of his former professor is, at the level of theoretical practice, a call to return to order. The ultimate conclusion is that the Foucault-Derrida debate has much less to do with Descartes’ text per se, than with the relationship between the traditional tasks of philosophy and the meta-theoretical reconfiguration of philosophic practice via the methods of the social sciences.
