This article examines the golden years accumulation's standard of capitalism, to intend point out them as resulted of the dialectic process of laws of movement and reproduction of the value. In this direction, the economic, cultural and institutional transformations, that granted certain benefits to the working class, materialized in golden years of the capitalism, functioned like capital’s defensive strategies because the domination crisis provoked, in great measure, for the laborer anti-sys...

This article aims to (i) analyze some constitutive elements of both the accumulation pattern in effect during the Old Republic (1889-1930) and the new pattern established during the 1930s, during Vargas' first government (1930-1937); and (ii) present the general outlines of the old and new configurations of the State and its economic policies in the aforementioned periods. To this end, the theoretical framework of sectoral and social (dis)articulation – a little-known and underutilized tool –...
Professional training in health must be aligned with assumptions that correspond to society's expectations and needs, with equity as a structuring principle. The teaching-learning scenarios of medical courses are spaces capable of generating experiences that bring students closer to the health needs of the population or the reproduction of social inequities. As a general objective, we sought to analyze the contribution of scenarios and practices to the teaching-learning process in a medical c...
Among Latin American countries, Brazil was one of the last to replace the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Import Substitution Model (ICS) with a liberal "development" model, structured around "macroeconomic prudence," microeconomic liberalization, and external orientation. The difficulty in transitioning to the new development model, after the exhaustion of the ICS during the 1980s, more specifically during the government of José Sarney (1985-1989), originated ...
Within the scope of this article, we have analyzed the various elements of the wave of transformations that have occurred within the global capitalist economy in recent decades. These transformations resulted from counter-trend measures aimed at blocking and overcoming the structural crisis stemming from the exhaustion of long-term growth in the post-World War II era. Contradictorily, while the changes introduced proved to be powerful innovative levers in the productive and financial spheres,...
State, power block and capitalist accumulation: a theoretical approach. This article aims to elaborate a theory, based on Poulantzas, about the role of the State in a capitalist economy through a relational perspective that perceives the State as a field and a strategic process for the disputes of class fractions within the power bloc. In order to do so, it exposes the relation between State and accumulation at an abstract-formal level, emphasising the limitations of studies that use only thi...
The purpose of this article is to analyze Lenin’s formulations for the development of the Soviet Union immediately after the consolidation of the Bolshevik power. We discuss that Lenin, based in concepts of transition to the socialism and socialist accumulation, and considering the historical and structural elements inherent to late Russia, opts for mercantile-capitalist economic development solutions, which, contradictorily, compose a coherent model with socialist fundamentals.
In this article we try to demonstrate that the Brazilian economic policy adopted from 1995 up to 2014, especially regarding the management of the public debt, underwent no significant changes, being in line with preserving the hegemonic position of the financial sector on the Power Bloc. We used the Discriminant Analysis methodology, in order to arrange the monthly data into classes according to their similarities. The information grouped by neighborhood criterion showed a marked tendency to ...
This article analyzes the methodological and theoretical foundations of the market and planning in socialism. The systemic transition imposes dialectical relationships between the market and the plan, but this does not mean that the market becomes the fundamental, irremovable regulator in socialism. The connection between the fall of the Soviet Union, the model of contemporary China, and the current crisis of capitalism calls for reflection on the renewal of the Marxist proposal for socialism...
After two decades of high economic growth, Mozambique has recently experienced increased levels of foreign direct investment. Yet, Mozambique, which is yet one of the poorest countries in the world, continues to have serious problems in reducing poverty and promoting structural changes in its economy. This article analyses the characteristics of the recent boom of Brazilian investment and aid to Mozambique and scrutinizes how these two relate with the Mozambican accumulation pattern. Building...
Introduction: Tooth loss is recognized as a major public health problem in Brazil, with significant functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial consequences. The National Oral Health Policy, launched in 2004, incorporated oral rehabilitation into public care through the provision of dental prostheses, including the creation of Regional Dental Prosthesis Laboratories (LRPD). Despite these institutional advances, challenges remain regarding service provision, reduction of regional inequalities, and...
Introduction and justification. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the high risk of infection among health workers, especially in Primary Health Care (PHC), but there are still gaps regarding the relevance of institutional guidelines and the specificities of illness among these professionals, in part due to the scarcity of disaggregated data. Objectives. This study sought analyze the suitability of the guidance provided to PHC workers by municipal management and the clinical-epidemiological ch...
Introduction: COVID-19 cases in Brazil have shown that there is no uniformity in the occurrence of the disease in the population (Brazil, 2022), ranging from asymptomatic infections to severe cases, even among individuals with similar conditions. Studies conducted in some countries have shown evidence that prior exposure to the BCG vaccine can induce the occurrence of less severe forms of the disease. Objective: To analyze the severity of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients, according to BCG va...
The Indigenous Health Care Subsystem (SasiSUS) was established as an integral part of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) to ensure differentiated care for Indigenous populations. However, its articulation with other levels of health governance and care delivery remains institutionally fragile. This dissertation aims to analyze the interfederative articulation within SasiSUS, based on the case study of the Paulo Afonso Base Pole, in the state of Bahia, with emphasis on governance, regi...
Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is an acid-base binder with superior physical mechanical properties compared to conventional hydraulic cements, yet it still presents many gaps, aiming at its development and wider application. This study evaluates the physical, mechanical, and rheological performance of MPC composites reinforced with PVA, sisal, and steel fibers in different proportions, aiming to reduce the brittleness and low deformability of the cementitious matrix. The MPC raw materials (...
Honey and sugars contain carbohydrates and minerals and are widely consumed by the population. Due to daily consumption, generally in quantities exceeding 50 g, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is necessary to evaluate the quality of these food products. This Doctoral Thesis aimed to propose analytical methods for the determination of inorganic constituents in honey and sugar samples using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques. Firstly, a 2⁴⁻¹ fractional factori...
The high demand for and widespread use of petroleum and its derivatives, such as diesel oil, across various economic sectors have caused significant impacts on the environment and human health. In the environment, these compounds have become major pollutants, primarily due to spills. In this context, sorption processes emerge as a promising alternative for removing oily pollutants from water, underscoring the need for biodegradable, low-cost, and highly efficient materials. Luffa cylindrica f...
With the increasing demand for efficiency in municipal revenue collection, real estate appraisal has gained even more relevance due to the fundamental role of the Property and Territorial Urban Tax (IPTU). Since the implementation of Complementary Law No. 101 of May 4, 2000, known as the Fiscal Responsibility Law (LRF), municipalities have faced an urgent need for more robust methods to calculate the market value of properties, driven by the pursuit of tax equity. Detailed and precise plannin...
