The dimension of choice and adherence to healthy lifestyles is in the area of social constructions made in representations of individuals and had not yet been included in the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (VIGITEL) analysis systems. This article aims to understand, in individual narratives, representations contained in the trajectories of people's lives selected from the 2010 VIGITEL sample, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It is a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory. Thirty in-depth and open interviews with subjects selected from the 2010 VIGITEL sample were conducted in Belo Horizonte in the State of Minas Gerais. The Structural Analysis of Narrative technique was used to reveal the content of speeches. Age and heredity representations related to NCDs are part of the spectrum of current scientific information. Learning from childhood onwards is the basis of care. The lack of comprehension of the pathophysiology of NCDs, and the depth of representations of illness and death related to communicable diseases, is partly responsible for the difficulty of preventing NCDs.

Os impressos contribuíram para a difusão de representações, de diferenciações e de classificações sociais do comportamento feminino. Durante as décadas de 1920 e 1930 em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, os jornais publicaram diversos textos dispersos dirigidos às mulheres e aos seus comportamentos que são uma importante série documental para a análise das distinções a partir da interseccionalidade do gênero com as dimensões raciais e sexuais (morais). Essas representações produziram e foram produzidas pela dicotomia entre “mulher honesta” e “mulher decaída”. Argumento que essa situação é parte de um amplo processo de construção de diferentes mecanismos de normatização dos comportamentos femininos que se relacionam com as distinções sociais e de gênero que marcaram a sociedade brasileira.*The press contributed to the production and dissemination of social representation, differentiation and classifications of female behaviour. The 1920’s and 1930’s newspapers in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, have published several dispersed texts addressed to women and their behaviour. They form an important series of documents to the analysis of social distinctions from intersectionality of gender with the racial, social and sexual (moral) dimensions. These representations forged and have been shaped by the dichotomy between the “honest woman” and the “fallen woman”. I argue that this situation is part of a large process of production of different arrangements of standardisation of female performance that are related with the social and gender distinctions of the Brazilian society.

O presente estudo analisa como se deu o processo de formação da cena heavy-metal em Belo Horizonte ao longo da década de 1980, verificando como os aspectos sociais locais contribuíram para o surgimento e evolução do gênero na capital mineira. O trabalho baseia-se em entrevistas elaboradas junto aos membros das bandas protagonistas da cena e levantamento de publicações sobre o tema no jornal Estado de Minas. Os resultados indicam que o heavy-metal de Belo Horizonte conciliou as características da cidade com aquelas do próprio movimento, dando origem a uma construção cultural específica, que daria à metrópole mineira o título de capital sul-americana do metal extremo.

This is a pdf of the original typed manuscript of a lecture made in 2006. An annotated English translation will be published by the International Review of Social Psychology. I this text, Moscovici seeks to update his earlier work on the “conspiracy mentality” (1987) by considering the relationships between social representations and conspiracy mentality. Innovation in this field, Moscovici argues, will require a much thorough description and understanding of what conspiracy theories are, what rhetoric they use and what functions they fulfill. Specifically, Moscovici considers conspiracies as a form of counterfactual history implying a more desirable world (in which the conspiracy did not take place) and suggests that social representation theory should tackle this phenomenon. He explicitly links conspiracy theories to works of fiction and suggests that common principles might explain their popularity. Historically, he argues, conspiracism was born twice: First, in the middle ages, when their primary function was to exclude and destroy what was considered as heresy; and second, after the French revolution, to delegitimize the Enlightenment, which was attributed to a small coterie of reactionaries rather than to the will of the people. Moscovici then considers four aspects (“thematas”) of conspiracy mentality: 1/ the prohibition of knowledge; 2/ the duality between the majority (the masses, prohibited to know) and “enlightened” minorities; 3/ the search for a common origin, a “ur phenomenon” that connects historical events and provides a continuity to History (he notes that such a tendency is also present in social psychological theorizing); and 4/ the valorization of tradition as a bulwark against modernity. Some of Moscovici’s insights in this talk have since been borne out by contemporary research on the psychology of conspiracy theories, but many others still remain fascinating potential avenues for future research.

Abstract Background From disease prevention to health promotion, communication is key for Public Health (PH) practice and, according to the 9th Essential Public Health Operation its goal is to improve populations health literacy and capacity to access, understand and use information. Though social media is frequently presented as a potentially useful tool for PH communication, there is a lack of evidence about its effectiveness and impact on PH outcomes. This study researches Instagram® as a PH tool and aims to know who is using it, what content is shared on the platform and how much engagement there is. Methods This cross-sectional study regards information on 1000 Instagram® posts with the hashtags publichealth, publichealthpromotion, healthpromotion, publichealthmatters and publichealtheducation. Authors categorized post content and creators, and reviewed the number of likes and comments per post to determine engagement. Data analysis was performed on IBM SPSS® Statistics. Results The most common content categories were communicable diseases (n = 383), non-communicable diseases (n = 258) and healthy lifestyles (n = 143). Health professionals post more about communicable diseases (43,6%) and non-professionals about healthy lifestyles (36,1%). Non-professionals (n = 191) post about PH issues almost as much as health professionals (n = 220) and PH associations (n = 201). Most don't reference their sources (n = 821). Posts on communicable diseases have the most likes and comments per post (mean of 172 likes and 3,1 comments). Conclusions Half the Instagram® posts analysed in this study were made by health professionals or organizations. Communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases and healthy lifestyles were the most frequent content categories and had the most engagement. The majority of posts didn't reference their sources. Though Instagram® seems to be a potential PH communication tool, further research is needed to confirm its benefits for PH. Key messages Social media platforms like Instagram® are potentially powerful tools for PH communication. There is a need to understand the efficacy of social media as health promotion tools.

The present paper critically examined the available research on role of family and school contribution in academic achievement and explored their social representations. People adaptation with the prevalent notions and thinking beyond the boundary of common sense is required to explain multidimensional picture of any attribute. Previous research applied social representation theory to understand educability, intelligence, academic achievement and failure, and teachership. This article showed a polysemic understanding of family and school contribution where roles and identity matters.

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar o consumo de medicamentos e fatores associados (sócio-demográficos, condições de saúde e uso de serviços de saúde) em uma amostra representativa de 1.598 pessoas com 60+ anos de idade, residentes na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. A variável dependente foi o número de medicamentos consumido nas duas semanas precedentes. A prevalência do uso de medicamentos foi de 72,1% e a média de medicamentos consumidos igual a 2,18, predominando aqueles com ação sobre o sistema cardiovascular. O consumo de qualquer número de medicamentos apresentou associação independente com sexo feminino, idade (80+ anos), ter visitado um médico e apresentar alguma condição crônica. O consumo de maior número de medicamentos (5+) apresentou associações significativas com escolaridade (8+ anos, OR = 2,28) e pior auto-avaliação da saúde (razoável, OR = 5,45; ruim/muito ruim, OR = 5,35). Os resultados deste trabalho mostram que o tipo de medicamento consumido e os fatores associados a esse consumo foram muito semelhantes ao observado em outras populações, sugerindo que existe uma certa uniformidade no consumo e nos seus determinantes, entre populações diferentes.
