Mulheres em tempos de pandemia

A Rede Mulheres Vivas (RMV) tem por missão prevenir e intervir na violência sobre as mulheres, como posicionamento político e ideológico. Tendo em vista a natureza da Rede Mulheres Vivas e sua ideologia, pesquisadoras de vários países e instituições discutiram as bases e funcionamento da Rede consubstanciado em texto intitulado “Manifesto da Rede” (em anexo). Nesta perspectiva tem promovido os Seminários da Rede Mulheres vivas, com o objetivo de contribuir para a redução da violência contra as mulheres e dar visibilidade a este grave problema vivenciado ainda nos nossos dias por muitas mulheres. Em 2021, o II Seminário da Rede Mulheres Vivas abriu a possibilidade de outros pesquisadores e pesquisadoras apresentarem trabalhos derivados de pesquisas em andamento ou finalizadas e, nesse sentido, os convidou a participarem do presente livro com suas pesquisas em formato de capítulos. O tema do II Seminário foi “Mulheres em tempos de pandemia” com o objetivo de refletir sobre os problemas vivenciados pelas mulheres considerando a diversidade de gênero, raça/etnia e classe neste grave momento de pandemia, considerado um problema global de saúde pública.

Tráfico humano: traços da economia e do direito

Violência, abuso, fraude, trauma, escravização são algumas das palavras que os leitores encontraram nesse compêndio. O tráfico de humanos, no seu nível mais básico, é definido, em primeira mão, nos Estados Unidos, expressos na lei de Proteção às Vítimas de Tráfico de Seres Humanos, lei 2000, como: “o recrutamento, abrangendo transporte, conexões de organizações, ou obtenção de seres humanos para trabalho ou serviços através do uso da força, fraude, ou coerção para fins de servidão sexual involuntária ou escravização”. Ao longo desses capítulos, o leitor é convidado a deixar de lado preconcepções e entender que o tráfico é ipso facto fenômeno da pobreza e da ausência de cidadania em muitos países. Esse tema especialmente prevalecente, insurge uma das mais proeminentes indústrias: a indústria do sexo. O tráfico também é uma terceira via para a escravatura, mas conserva em si a mais terrível face da pobreza e da indigência inesgotável.

Understanding of the origin of species and their adaptability to new environments is one of the main questions in biology. This is fueled by the ongoing debate on species concepts and facilitated by the availability of an unprecedented large number of genomic resources. Genomes are organized into chromosomes, where significant variations in number and morphology are observed among species due to large-scale structural variants such as inversions, translocations, fusions, and fissions. This genomic reshuffling provides, in the long term, new chromosomal forms on which natural selection can act upon, contributing to the origin of biodiversity. This book contains mainly articles, reviews, and an opinion piece that explore numerous aspects of genome plasticity among taxa that will help in understanding the dynamics of genome composition, the evolutionary relationships between species and, in the long run, speciation.

This publication examines the social impact of an unprecedented crisis. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have spread to all areas of human life, altering the way we interact, crippling economies and bringing about profound changes in societies. The pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated the major structural gaps in the region, and it is clear that the costs of inequality have become unsustainable and that it is necessary to rebuild with equality and sustainability, aiming for the creation of a true welfare state, long overdue in the region.

The Role of Glycosylation in Health and Disease

Glycobiology is an emerging field of studying glycans (sugars) and glycoconjugates that are essentially involved in almost all biological processes, from fine-tuning glycoprotein function to protein-protein interactions, signaling, immune response, host-pathogen interactions, etc. However, due to structural complexity of glycans and analytical challenges this exciting field was lagging behind other areas of biology. With technological advancements growing number of glycans’ functions are being discovered and the study of glycans is becoming a cutting-edge discipline in basic and clinical research. Despite recent developments in glycobiology field, many aspects of glycosylation process stil...

Culture as Process

Jaan Valsiner has made numerous contributions to the development of psychology over the last 40 years. He is internationally recognized as a leader and innovator within both developmental psychology and cultural psychology, and has received numerous prizes for his work: the Alexander von Humboldt prize, the Hans Killian prize, and the Outstanding International Psychologist Award from the American Psychological Association. Having taught at Universities in Europe, Asia and north and south America, he is currently Niels Bohr professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. This book is the first to discuss in detail the different sides of Valsiner’s thought, including developmental science, semiotic mediation, cultural transmission, aesthetics, globalization of science, epistemology, methodology and the history of ideas. The book provides an overview, evaluation and extension of Valsiner’s key ideas for the construction of a dynamic cultural psychology, written by his former students and colleagues from around the world.
