This dissertation investigates the transformations of contemporary Brazilian circus, positing that the relationship between the artist and the audience serves as a fundamental axis structuring different logics of production. It is argued that the circus field in Brazil is organized into two distinct and complementary ecosystems: the Popular Circus (Circo Popular), heir to the modern circus, and the Expanded Circus (Circo Expandido), which has emerged in recent decades. The Popular Circus, who...
Introduction: CrossFit is a high-intensity, high-complexity exercise program whose number of followers has been growing steadily in recent years. Since the scientific literature on this topic highlights the prevalence of injuries and the association with the level of experience in practicing the sport, better understanding the dynamics of functional movement from this perspective, according to the time of practice of the sport, can provide valuable information on how movement is modulate...
This research is dedicated to reflecting on the processes of preservation and heritage valorization of sites of conscience regarding the military dictatorships in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. The research starts from the hypothesis that specific theoretical and practical approaches are necessary regarding the construction, production, and conservation of places of repression and resistance of the dictatorships in these three countries, due to the complexity of the political and social forces...
This research is based on the observation that we are bombarded by images and subjected to visual overstimulation, which has affected our individual capacity for contemplative perception and created an anesthetic effect. The problem becomes more pronounced when the predominance of visual experience extends beyond the collective urban space and establishes other ways of coexisting in the contemporary city. In this sense, at a time of technological fear, in which the production of knowledge is ...
This dissertation critically examines the role of guarantee institutions – namely the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Judiciary – in enforcing the fundamental urban rights enshrined in Brazil’s 1988 Constitution and regulated by the City Statute (Law No. 10.257/2001). Grounded in Luigi Ferrajoli’s theory of constitutional guarantees, the research assumes that these institutions should not be conceived as discretionary political actors, but rather as bound bod...
In a moment that signals profound transformations in the model of relations developed within the international community—where countries have established commercial, economic, and development cooperation connections which are now under threat—a new ordering of the system seems to be taking shape. The concept of sovereignty also appears to be under reformulation, one of the characteristics that provide the foundation for the concept of the State and that once seemed consolidated in s...
Introduction: Hypertension (HTN) is a multifactorial condition characterized by the persistent elevation of blood pressure (BP), being one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Studies indicate that isometric handgrip exercise (IHG) may contribute to reducing blood pressure, but there is a gap in the literature regarding its effects on hypertensive elderly women. Objective: This study analyzed the acute effects of IHG on BP responses and cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM)...
Introduction: The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in communication, social interaction, and the presence of repetitive and restrictive behaviors. Sensory alterations are frequent in this population, especially involving the auditory system. It is estimated that approximately 85% of individuals with ASD exhibit some form of sensory dysfunction, with about 40% related too auditory processing, including impairments from sound per...
Introduction: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common condition that affects the temporomandibular joint and the masticatory muscles, leading to pain, dysfunction, and neuromuscular alterations. Quantitative parameters such as bite force and resting electromyography (EMG) have been proposed as potential functional markers, but existing evidence still presents inconsistent results. Objective: To investigate whether bite force and resting electromyographic activity of the masseter mus...
x development caused by mutations in genes located in the Y chromosome. It’s typically described in female individuals with a 46XY karyotype and streak gonads, and it’s normally diagnosed in adolescence because of the absence of menstruation, with or without the spontaneous female sexual development. Given the physical, pshychological and social aspects of this disease, it’s important to discuss about the different clinical presentations in order to achieve an earlier diagnosis and there...
Groundwater recharge represents a key component of the aquifer water balance, directly influencing water resource availability, especially in regions where these resources are under intense pressure. The Urucuia Aquifer System, located in western Bahia, plays a strategic role in supporting irrigated agriculture, urban water supply, and the maintenance of ecosystems. However, the continuous expansion of irrigated agriculture, combined with land use changes and climate change, has inten...
This article aims to describe the interrelationships between student assistance and mental health care promotion strategies for university students at Brazilian Federal Higher Education Institutions (IFES). Methodologically, this is a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study developed through an integrative literature review. Articles published in the last five years (2019-2024) in Portuguese and English, available in the BVS-Psi, Lilacs, CAPES Journals, and SciELO databases, were...
This thesis is the result of a study on Visual Artistic Language in Daycare Center, aiming to understand its contributions to the expansion of the aesthetic dimension during childhood. It was characterized as a research built from the notion of meshwork developed by Tim Ingold. Such perspective stems from the understanding of the importance of movement, of encounters with threads-life-existences in the production of implicated knowledge, grounded in the challenge of distancing oneself from an...
Objectives: To characterize patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T-RA) followed at a tertiary center in Northeastern Brazil, correlating disease activity indices with ultrasound findings using the US10 score. Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on clinical examination, laboratory findings, medical record review and joint ultrasound evaluation. Nineteen women diagnosed with D2T-RA, defined according to EULAR 2021 criteria, were included between May and September...
