Relatórios de organizações internacionais e notícias veiculadas na mídia têm apontado o aumento do número de casos de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher -VDFM, durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Diante disso, é fundamental compreender a efetividade das políticas públicas desenvolvidas. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as dimensões dos riscos nas políticas de combate à VDFM no período de crise sanitária. A pesquisa utilizou um desenho qualitativo de estudo de caso único, sendo a unidade de caso o Departamento de Atendimento a Grupos Vulneráveis - DAGV e, como sujeito da pesquisa, a Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher - DEAM.  A técnica de análise de conteúdo foi utilizada em quatro entrevistas concedidas por servidores do quadro do DAGV. Também foi realizada análise documental em 210 inquéritos abertos entre maio e julho de 2020. Verificou-se que o rol de medidas protetivas de urgência trazidas pela Lei Maria da Penha - LMP - e demais instrumentos de gestão de risco contribuem com a efetividade dos trabalhos da rede de apoio e enfrentamento à VDFM. Porém, há fragilidades que devem ser corrigidas, tais como estrutura física do DAGV, ampliação do efetivo policial, atualização e ampliação do Formulário Nacional de Avaliação de Riscos, atuação multidisciplinar articulada e atualização de práticas de gestão gerencial em toda a rede de apoio. O trabalho contribuiu com a identificação de fatores de riscos no atendimento inicial às vítimas e também na fase de andamento do inquérito. Por fim, faz a apresentação de sugestões para mitigá-los e/ou evitá-los.  ABSTRACTReports from international organizations and news broadcasted in the media have pointed out the increase in the number of cases of domestic and family violence against women - VDFM, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Given this, it is essential to understand the effectiveness of the public policies developed. The objective of this paper is to analyze the dimensions of risks in policies to combat VDFM in the period of health crisis. The research used a qualitative design of single case study, being the case unit the Department of Attendance to Vulnerable Groups - DAGV and, as subject of the research, the Police Station of Attendance to Women - DEAM.  The technique of content analysis was used in four interviews given by employees of the DAGV. Documentary analysis was also carried out in 210 inquiries opened between May and July 2020. It was verified that the list of urgent protective measures brought by the Maria da Penha Law - LMP - and other instruments of risk management contribute to the effectiveness of the work of the network of support and confrontation to the VDFM. However, there are weaknesses that must be corrected, such as the physical structure of the DAGV, expansion of the police force, updating and expansion of the National Risk Assessment Form, articulated multidisciplinary action, and updating of management practices throughout the support network. The work contributed with the identification of risk factors in the initial care to the victims and also in the progress phase of the investigation. Finally, it makes suggestions to mitigate and/or avoid them.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions, many countries face an unprecedented mental health crisis, which is being addressed in various ways, including the use of remote mental health services. Lithuania faced two quarantines: in March-June of 2020 and starting November 2020 up to Spring of 2021.  The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of Lithuanian psychologists providing mental health services during the pandemic.  Using the qualitative content analysis method, the following categories were made: from shock to discovery of new opportunities (differences in two lockdowns, better accessibility of services, help-seeking during the pandemic, and the importance of self-care) and contextual challenges (confidentiality, computer literacy, and blurred home/work boundaries). Implications for addressing psychological service issues are discussed, with an emphasis on self-care, setting boundaries, and finding new ways to enhance mental health via mediated communication as well as to reach out to vulnerable groups.

Introduction. Ethical conduct emerges as a topic of discussion especially when conflicts arise between people, which cannot be resolved by regulation because of new circumstances and situations, or when legal norms prove insufficient or are disregarded, therefore leading to ethically unacceptable practices. Ethical issues of this kind are now at the forefront of social treatment, mainly because modern management practices have become increasingly problematic, areas of activity are expanding, and businesses and other forms of activity are increasingly under ethical pressures from multiple stakeholders. According, ethical behaviour is becoming a global issue and a pressing topic both in general and professional discussions; scientific analysis is therefore extremely relevant. Aim and tasks. This article’s aim is to study the ethical principles and morally ethical problems that arise in various business environments, such as medical, technical, legal, and commercial, as well as in sectors, including state, non-governmental, and private markets. It also explores ethical bases change over time and depending on social flows. Undoubtedly, stakeholders are interested in such ethics-based governance, which means that ethical issues should be effectively put into practice. The study identifies the key paradigms of how different sectors operate and what issues arise. Results. The diachronic study finds that there was almost no interest in studying business ethics over the last century. The beginning of the 21st century saw strong increase in interest regarding these issues, as evidenced by the number of studies and analyses, the introduction of ethical business courses, and other ethical issues. Hyperconnected modern society is increasingly globally interdependent, wherefore interest in the appropriate culture and ethics of action is increasing with the aim of reducing risks and conflicts. Nongovernmental organizations increasingly involved in these processes, develop their business practices of responsibility and care for vulnerable groups and the environment. They have indirectly become a strong factor in leveraging for the ethical conduct of free market operators as well as state/public institutions. Conclusions. The existing studies identified seven key ethical paradigms that emerge in the operation of non-governmental, state, and market sectors, differing in key two dimensions: the first extends from emphasizing community (communitarianism) to exposing individuality, and the second from self-orientation (egocentricity) to a focus on the other (sociocentricity). On this basis, an array of various approaches to ethics can emerge, providing for useful tools for the professional analysis of business practices, as well as to assist stakeholders in introducing better business at all levels.

Method: qualitative, descriptive study with nine professionals from the emergency team of a university hospital. Data were collected from a semi-structured interview and interpreted by the Content Analysis technique, in the Categorical Analysis modality. Results: seven of the participants reported knowing how to identify suspicious signs of violence against women, but they describe limitations and insecurities that interfere with the satisfactory performance during the service attributed to the lack of theoretical knowledge about the subject, overcrowding and deficiencies in external security and physical structure of the workplace. Conclusion: the lack of theoretical and practical knowledge and the deficiencies in working conditions were limitations that affected the emergency team's role in providing care to women in situations of violence. The results will contribute to reflections of interprofessional teams on the performance and care of women attacked in hospital emergencies.

Care Leavers

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a reduction in leisure activities involving human contact. Social isolation has increased, particularly amongst vulnerable individuals with a fragile support network, as is the case with young people who have left care. The aim of the present research was to identify socio-educational proposals and interventions implemented during the pandemic pertaining to leisure as a form of promoting social inclusion of these young people. To this end, a qualitative study was carried out in which twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with young people who had left care system, in addition to fifteen interviews with professionals working with this group when delivering socio-educational interventions. Discourse analysis revealed that isolation due to the health crisis had greater repercussions in normalised settings in which leisure activity was reduced with this increasing risk of social inclusion amongst these young people. Proposals and experiences emerging from this setting provide evidence that socio-educational interventions targeting leisure facilitate social inclusion. In this sense, future lines of research are suggested to optimise the outcomes of socio-educational interventions within this group.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a huge blow to every country, and many governments have struggled to meet their populations’ urgent needs during the crisis. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stepped in to offer extra support to a large number of countries during the pandemic. However, Oxfam’s analysis shows that as of 15 March 2021, 85% of the 107 COVID-19 loans negotiated between the IMF and 85 governments indicate plans to undertake austerity once the health crisis abates. The findings in this briefing paper show that the IMF is systematically encouraging countries to adopt austerity measures once the pandemic subsides, risking a severe spike in already increased inequality levels. A variety of studies have revealed the uneven distribution of the burden of austerity, which is more likely to be shouldered by women, low-income households and vulnerable groups, while the wealth of the richest people increases. Oxfam joins global institutions and civil society in urging governments worldwide and the IMF to focus their energies instead on a people-centred, just and equal recovery that will fight inequality and not fuel it. Austerity will not ‘build back better’.

Purpose – Higher education institutions have used more and more project management tools to run development projects to create new professional postgraduate programs. The purpose of this research was to propose an adaptive project management model for creating a professional doctoral course in Business Administration, in order to fulfill the goals established by CAPES.Design/methodology/approach – For such, the qualitative approach was favored with the adoption of the single case study method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with academic coordinators who are experts in the field in addition to the gathering of documents, thus using data triangulation to explore the phenomenon. The analysis of primary data and the analysis of documents from the Coordinating Agency for Advanced Training of Graduate Personnel (CAPES) served as inputs for analyzing and interpreting the results.Findings – As a result, we developed an adaptive project management model with the following characteristics: a) constant planning of activities, occurring in every cycle of interactions; b) iteration using short activities, allowing for more control of the project; c) validations performed continuously to ensure the goals proposed by CAPES are reached; and d) adaptable to change of scope during the execution phase of the project life cycle.Research limitations/implications – Among the limitations of the study is the lack of other studies related to the use of adaptive project management methodologies for developing postgraduate programs. And for future researches, we point out the need for applying the proposed model, to verify its efficacy and adherence to the development of a professional doctoral course.Originality/value – This study contributes to the academy by highlighting the need for project management as a tool and technique for the development of stricto sensu professional graduate programs. In this way, HEIs will be able to use a model of adaptive project management practices to achieve the objectives proposed by the CAPES evaluation process. As a result, HEIs are strengthened in the management, control and monitoring of the progress of their programs.

The Impact

Research background: After more than a year of the Covid-19 pandemic, we can investigate whether it caused a shock to the global economy, pushing for deglobalization, or on the contrary, it was a challenge for digital globalization and digital transformation of economies. Through this research we join the research contributions that examine the process towards digital globalization that characterizes the world economy, its impact on businesses, consumers, and governments. We also discuss the challenges posed by the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic to globalization and perhaps the acceleration of the digital transformation of economies. Purpose of the article: The aim of this research is to highlight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the age of digital globalization. Methods: Documentary analysis, as the main research method, is doubled by a case study that allows us to highlight the specific characteristics of digital globalization. Findings & Value added: The findings of the research allowed us to highlight the essential aspects of digital globalization that were perhaps exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, but which contribute greatly to understanding the phenomenon of globalization. Our research also reveals four lessons learned in the COVID-19 pandemic. We also present some considerations regarding the globalization after the health crisis.

Abstract Aim: To analyze the process of recontextualization of an integrated curriculum of Nursing Undergraduate Program. Method: Qualitative research, of a single case study, developed through documentary analysis, systematic observation and a semi-structured interview with nine teachers. Analysis of data by Critical Discourse Analysis. Results: The process of recontextualizing an integrated curriculum in the contexts of the Policy Cycle reveals that, in the Context of Influence and Textual Production, the curriculum is the result of a bricolage of educational policies, health policies and experiences of other institutions. Conclusion: Fragilities related to the organization of the modular structure and the teacher's close approximation to the Textual Production Context of the curriculum, associated to the training experience, favor the recontextualization of the curricular proposal when it is translated into the Context of Practice. It is necessary to institute strategies that integrate teacher education into their daily lives in curricular policies.

Purpose This study aims to understand how institutional logics influence the adoption and implementation of risk management (RM) practices by government entities in a non-western, developing country. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on the institutional logics perspective (ILP) to analyze a case study of a government entity in Saudi Arabia. Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews, observations and documentary evidence. Findings Findings suggest that the adoption and implementation of RM projects by Saudi governmental agencies was rooted in a traditional logic, even though the catalyst of the government for adopting a RM culture across government agencies was framed within a reform program inspired by a modernization logic. In the entity under investigation, the RM project led to an unstable situation where actors were confronted with these two competing logics. Although the project used manifestations of a modernization logic, the actions of individuals within the organization were embedded in a traditional logic. Research limitations/implications The study is based on a single case study in a specific country, limiting the generalizability of the findings. Originality/value This study provides novel evidence of the adoption and implementation of RM in governmental entities in a developing, non-western, country using ILP. Doing so enhances our knowledge about how managers struggle with competing institutional logics in an underexplored setting and enriches current accounts of key drivers and barriers of RM. It also addresses calls for a deeper understanding of the logics and managerial practices interplay in the public sector.
