Contrastes da cobertura jornalística audiovisual da greve geral de 28 de abril no Brasil pelos media tradicional e alternativo

The journalistic coverage of popular protests tends to emphasize negative aspects of it, as shown by studies related to the protest paradigm. In turn, the fragmentation of the media ecosystem has allowed other narratives to dispute the representations about this type of event. This happened during the general strike held in Brazil on April 28th, 2017. In this study, I propose a multimodal analysis of audio-visual reports produced by two Brazilian news programs and four alternative media groups. The objective is to grasp the discursive strategies used by each one of them to construct the audio-visual journalistic narratives. Among the conclusions, traditional media sought to emphasize their legitimacy from the voices of ordinary people, while alternative media strengthened contra-official sources, especially trade unionists.

Local representation of change and conservation of a Brazilian Caatinga refuge

The Brazilian Caatinga is one of the most threatened tropical dry forests in the world, mainly due to habitat fragmentation from anthropic activities. However, mountainous regions in the Caatinga are refuges of biodiversity, with high plant species richness, which are used for various purposes by local human populations. The present study sought to identify the local ecological knowledge of rural communities on a mountain in the semiarid region of Brazil, which is a refuge of biodiversity. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with key informants selected using the snowball sampling technique. According to the informants, the mountain helps recall memories of previous landscapes, which are linked to the biodiversity that it contains and its importance as a source of resources and influence on local rainfall regimes. For local populations, the conservation of Caatinga biodiversity represents the preservation of fauna and flora, the permanence of ecosystem functions and the resilience of intrinsic values related to maintaining their activities.

Reception Studies and Audiovisual Translation fornece um panorama das interseções entre os estudos da recepção e a tradução audiovisual. O livro é dividido em quatro partes que tratam, nesta sequência, de pesquisas em estudos da recepção, metodologias de pesquisa voltada para o público, modalidades de tradução audiovisual, e mídias híbridas e novos tipos de público. Os quinze capítulos que compõem a obra traçam um histórico dos desenvolvimentos destes estudos e estimulam novas pesquisas na área, sugerindo uma abordagem multi e interdisciplinar que utilize metodologias quantitativas e qualitativas de forma integrada.

Immunometabolic disorders in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease connected with complex and unclear disorders of the immune system, which causes inflammation of body tissues and internal organs. It leads to the formation of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and immune complexes. Numerous immune system disorders and dysfunctions in the biochemical processes can occur in the course of the disease, and a wide range of abnormalities associated with cellular respiratory processes and mitochondrial function have been documented. The following paper presents the current understanding of the contribution of these disorders to the pathogenesis of lupus.

Metabolic and genetic profiling of young adults with and without a family history of premature coronary heart disease (MAGNETIC). Study design and methodology

First-degree relatives of individuals with premature coronary artery disease (CAD) are at increased risk of CAD. The research hypothesis of this project assumes that there are differences in the metabolic profiles between individuals with and without a positive family history (FH) of premature CAD.

Prevalence of sexual dysfunctions and associated risk factors in Poland

Many biological, psychological and sociocultural factors influence the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions and sexual behavior. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions and sexual behaviors. Material and methods: The study was the third edition of a general population-based, cross sectional survey, evaluating sexual attitude, sexual behaviors within and outside relationships and type of sexual dysfunctions present in the Polish population. The survey consisted of 82 questions, grouped into five blocks that contained openand closed-ended general questions, inquiries about early sexual contacts, sex life, relationships, sexual behaviors and preferences. A standard questionnaire was used to obtain data on age, education, marital status, religious beliefs, medical history, disabilities and other illnesses. A total of 1054 responders aged from 18 to over 70 years participated in the study. Risk factors and other causes contributing to certain sexual dysfunctions defined in the DSM-5 and in the available literature were analyzed. Results: In this research, 40% of women and 36.5% of men had at least one sexual dysfunction. Analysis of the total population showed that decreased sexual desire (29.0%), occasional climaxing (28.5%) and anorgasmia (21.0%) were the dysfunctions most frequently reported by women. In men, premature ejaculation (23%) and excessive sexual needs (16.3%) were most prevalent. Both men and women with arousal problems reported significantly more comorbid sexual dysfunctions (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Sexual dysfunctions are highly prevalent in the Polish population. Of note, it is alarming that only very few patients seek professional help when sexual problems occur.
