This research investigates the trajectory of the Popular Culture Center (CPC) of Bahia, active from 1962 to 1964, focusing on its cultural activities and social impact. The study primarily uses oral testimonies from its members, due to the destruction of documents during the military coup of 1964, which abruptly ended the movement and resulted in the loss of records, including those that were discarded for fear of reprisals. Emerging during a period of cultural and political effervescence in ...
Esta investigación-creación, de carácter teórico, práctico y autobiográfico, investiga mujeres en escena, experimentando el placer como metodología, con el fin de posibilitar la creación de una dramaturgia autoficcional. El primer enfoque de esta investigación es el cuerpo, y para anclar en el cuerpo la noción de placer femenino, potencial transgresor, se convoca la figura de la Pombagira de las umbandas y candomblés brasileños, entendida como una especie de “mitodología”, en el sentido ...

This thesis focuses on the Guarani M'bya Indigenous people of the southernmost part of the city of São Paulo and their chosen educational practices. The research discusses how formal education has historically sought to assimilate or modify Indigenous identities, often to the detriment of their ancestral practices and knowledge. However, the text reveals a contemporary dilemma within the community, where some Indigenous people see school as a tool for maintaining their existence as a people, ...

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, considered one of the 20 neglected tropical diseases, and presents varied clinical manifestations: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, visceral and post-kala-azar dermal. Human visceral leishmaniasis (HVL) is a serious public health problem due to its wide distribution and potentially fatal clinical course, which makes early and accurate diagnosis essential. Objective: To evaluate the performance of recombina...
Introduction: Chronic schistosomiasis is characterized by the formation of perivascular granulomas, which alter the structure of the hepatic extracellular matrix (ECM), especially in cases of successive reinfections. Praziquantel (PZQ), although effective in eliminating S. mansoni, does not act directly on ECM remodeling, does not prevent reinfections, and is not effective in all stages of the parasite’s life cycle. This highlights the need for a drug that directly targets the chronic effects...
INTRODUCTION: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic vascular condition whose most extreme outcome, critical lower limb ischemia (CLI), is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite its high prevalence, PAD still has no effective treatment to recover the lost vasculature. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are cells capable of secreting molecules that mediate biological effects such as angiogenesis and arteriogenesis, representing a therapeutic option agai...
INTRODUCTION: Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease prevalent in tropical developing countries, and praziquantel (PZQ) is the main drug used for treatment. However, reports of therapeutic failure have been described. Host-related factors, such as the production of antioxidant enzymes—especially catalase—may contribute to maintaining parasite viability. One of dapsone’s metabolites, dapsone hydroxylamine (DDS-NOH), is known to inhibit catalase. Therefore, the reduction of the host’s antioxida...
The issue of judicial control in the impeachment processes of the president of the republic is a centenary debate, with transnational problematizations. However, the theoretical-dogmatic discussion, at the national level, became more pronounced in the episode of impeachment of former President Dilma, especially in the absence of consensus on the commission of the crime of responsibility, hovering narratives that there was institutional coup. Given this context, we sought in this work to recap...
