This research aimed to analyze the work carried out by religious therapeutic communities (TCs) located in the municipalities of Araçatuba and Tatuí, in the years 2024 to 2025. We sought to understand the relationship between the activities of these institutions and public policies aimed at treating drug addicts. Specifically, we sought to: a) understand the forms of assistance offered by the State to these institutions, whether through therapeutic protocols, the provision of professionals in the field, or medical supplements; b) sociologically analyze the conceptions of drugs and health imposed by religious therapeutic communities. To conduct this research, we analyzed national protocols on the treatment of drug addicts, as well as internal documents from two selected institutions. The objective of this monograph was to understand the system of isolation and treatment of drug addicts, in addition to investigating how the disciplines and procedures of the internal regimes of these therapeutic communities are applied. The abuse of psychoactive substances can cause serious psychological, family, and social problems. These substances include both illicit drugs—such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine—and legal but equally addictive substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, and prescription medications, such as prescription drugs used to treat anxiety (anxiolytics) and sleep aids (sedatives or sleeping pills), which can cause dependence. These medications include benzodiazepines (such as diazepam and lorazepam), barbiturates, zolpidem, zopiclone, and others. Chemical dependency can affect people of all ages, genders, groups, and social classes, and the signs and symptoms vary depending on the substance and the individual. Religious doctrines offer a moral and ethical framework to help people overcome addiction, while the community can provide emotional and social support. Therapeutic communities are a form of treatment for those struggling with chemical dependency. For this, sociological reflections are of great importance.

Muscle symptoms are common and disabling complaints in Long COVID, however, their pathophysiology remains to be elucidated. Two main hypotheses have been proposed: a local and persistent viral infection or the effects of chronic systemic inflammation. To test these hypotheses, biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle from individuals with Long COVID and healthy controls were analyzed using Western Blot, immunofluorescence and functional analyses. The results refuted the local infection hypothesis: there was no increase in Spike protein or ACE2 receptor antigens, and the pro-viral protease TMPRSS2 was decreased (p < 0.05). The immune profile was atypical, with a decrease in macrophages (p < 0.05) and no change in T lymphocytes, suggesting immune dysregulation rather than classic cellular inflammation. This dysregulation was associated with tissue remodeling, including selective atrophy of type I and IIA fibers and an unexpected decrease in collagen content (p < 0.05). Functionally, the tissue showed a profound deficit at the cellular level, with a significant reduction in single fiber strength (p < 0.05), a finding not detected in global strength tests. Taken together, these results suggest that muscle pathology in Long COVID is not caused by direct viral damage, but rather by inflammatory and immune dysregulation that leads to atrophy, matrix remodeling and contractile dysfunction at the cellular level.

This dissertation analyzed the digital transformation (DT) process at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), relating it to the goals and guidelines of Brazil’s Digital Government Strategy (EGD), established by Decree No. 10.332/2020 and Law No. 14.129/2021. The main objective was to investigate how national digital government guidelines have been appropriated and operationalized in the university’s daily management, considering local specificities such as technological infrastructure, human capacities and regional context. For this purpose, the Digital Transformation Plan (PTD), the Information and Communication Technology Master Plan (PDTIC), Management Reports (2018–2024) and minutes of the Digital Governance Committee (CGD) were analyzed. A qualitative approach was adopted, based on documentary analysis and critical interpretation supported by literature on digital government, public administration and digital transformation. The results reveal advances in process digitalization, systems integration and digital services, but also highlight persistent structural challenges such as limited technical staff, budget constraints, fragmented systems and governance gaps. It is concluded that TD at UFSCar is not consolidated solely by virtue of regulations, but requires coordination between technology, financial investment, processes, organizational culture and people management. The study confirms that technology is necessary but not sufficient to generate sustainable public value, and points to ways to strengthen the role of Federal Universities in building an inclusive, secure and transparent digital government.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, initially applied exclusively within the business context, are beginning to be introduced into the environment of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Accordingly, this research aimed to investigate how ESG factors are applied in leading HEIs featured in the QS Sustainability Ranking, through a comparative analysis of institutional reports from both Brazilian and international universities. A qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive research approach was adopted. The research methods included a systematic literature review and documentary analysis of institutional reports and documents found on university websites. One of the main theoretical outcomes of this study is a conceptual framework, developed from the literature review, that compiles dozens of ESG factors applicable to HEIs. Based on the documentary analysis and the proposed framework, ESG factors were investigated in national HEIs (University of São Paulo – USP; University of Campinas – Unicamp; São Paulo State University – Unesp) and international HEIs (University of Toronto; University of California, Berkeley; The University of Manchester). The findings revealed a concentration of ESG initiatives in the environmental dimension, followed by the social dimension, with governance being the least addressed. The comparative analysis showed that the six universities demonstrated a similar performance in terms of the number of ESG factors addressed. However, governance initiatives were found to be more prevalent in foreign universities. It is believed that the results of this study may yield several contributions. The identified ESG factors can support the advancement of sustainability on university campuses, foster stronger relationships between HEIs and the community, and promote teaching and research related to this theme. This study contributes to the ESG and sustainability literature by offering a theoretical framework that can inform university actions, as well as presenting various examples of initiatives already implemented by top-ranked universities in a sustainability index. It is hoped that this work will promote the importance of expanding the application of ESG factors in HEIs, in synergy with businesses, the community, and government, aiming for increasingly widespread implementation of sustainable solutions.

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the infectious agent that causes the disease known as COVID-19, has negatively affected the lives of millions of people since last year. COVID-19 is a multi-organ infection that has significant effects on the musculoskeletal system of infected individuals, causing excessive fatigue, arthralgia, myalgia, muscle damage, and muscle weakness. These symptoms can persist for weeks or even months after the end of the infection, giving rise to what is known as long COVID-19. However, little is known about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on skeletal muscles, particularly in individuals who did not require ventilatory support and/or hospitalization. Objectives: To assess the impact of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 on the human musculoskeletal system, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the effects of the infection after its acute phase. Methods: This study included participants divided into a control group and a long-COVID group. They underwent muscle biopsy, blood collection, and isokinetic dynamometer testing for morphological, functional, and biochemical analyses. Results: The long-COVID group showed morphological changes in the vastus lateralis muscle, including decreased capillaries, nitric oxide, and myogenin, accompanied by increased IL-1β, Pax7, and ROS. Functionally, an increase in peak torque was observed during isometric sessions, as well as a reduction in the mean frequency of the electromyographic signal. Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with muscle changes that can negatively impact the morphology and function of the vastus lateralis muscle in humans, even after the acute period of the disease.

The growing urbanization and accelerated expansion of civil construction has generated a significant increase in construction waste, and even with waste management through the adoption of Transhipment and Sorting Areas (ATTs) and Ecopoints, there are still numerous irregular disposal points in peripheral neighborhoods in several small and medium-sized cities, which generates degradation of the surroundings in critical areas and vulnerable populations with environmental impacts. This study aims to diagnose the management of Construction and Demolition Waste in the municipality of Catanduva/SP, focusing on the Transshipment and Sorting Areas and the Municipal Ecopoint, aiming to identify the factors that lead to clandestine disposal. This is a qualitative and quantitative study, exploratory and descriptive in nature, aimed at analyzing the Construction and Demolition Waste management system in the municipality of Catanduva, São Paulo. The research was conducted with three different samples: four licensed ATTs operated by private companies operating in the municipality, five owners of construction companies working with construction waste C&DW in the municipality, and 109 residents of different neighborhoods, selected by non-probabilistic convenience samples within the municipality. Three different data collection instruments specific to each sample were applied, consisting of a semi-structured questionnaire via Google Forms. Although the municipality adopted measures such as joining the SIGOR (Surveillance System) and creating the Municipal Ecopoint, the discontinuation of two of the four licensed ATTs and the lack of visible public planning for the expansion or replacement of these units compromised the consolidation of a solid and integrated RCC management policy. The lack of updated public data and an environmentally oriented government plan reinforces the need for greater transparency and political commitment to urban sustainability.

This doctoral research investigates the role of writing in the teaching of English to Young Learners (EYL) in the early years of primary school, aiming to contribute to a more meaningful inclusion of this skill in English language classes. Based on a didactic unit designed according to the Communicative Approach (CA) and grounded in the principles of Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory (SCT), the study seeks to understand how writing practices in English can be developed with children, reframing writing as a communicative practice from an SCT perspective and drawing on teachers’ perceptions of their own classroom practices. The research was conducted in four public schools in the interior of São Paulo state, with 5th-grade classes. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews with teachers, recorded meetings, and analysis of students’ written productions. Anchored in teachers’ perceptions, the data made it possible to identify how they understand and experience the teaching of writing in the classroom. The study also discusses the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), highlighting the role of mediation and scaffolding in learning to write and in the development of higher psychological functions such as autonomy in textual production. Findings suggest that contextualized writing practices in EYL classes, supported by consistent theoretical foundations, tend to enrich learning and may foster the development of linguistic competencies. Teachers reported indications of greater student engagement, progress across the four skills, and reduced anxiety regarding writing in English. The experience also appears to have encouraged teachers to revisit some of their conceptions, moving toward a more process-oriented and integrated approach guided by mediation and student agency. Finally, the study outlines possible directions for pedagogical practices that may enhance the value of writing in English language teaching for children.

Drug use has been a part of humanity since ancient times, present in different cultures with different motivations. Harmful use can lead to fragility and the rupture of social bonds, isolation, and vulnerability in various aspects of people's lives. In this context, Occupational Therapy works to promote social reintegration and a meaningful daily life. Through activities that are meaningful to the individual, the aim is to rescue abandoned experiences and create possibilities, aiding in their recovery and social reintegration. This doctoral thesis aimed to understand the meaningful activities and daily lives of people suffering from psychological distress due to alcohol and other drug use from their own perspectives. The research, which used a qualitative approach, involved 10 people suffering from psychological distress due to alcohol and other drug use who attended a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs in a municipality in the Triângulo Mineiro region. The theoretical framework used was the theory of everyday life proposed by Agnes Heller. Data were collected over a five-month period, specifically from February to July 2023, through a sociodemographic questionnaire and an adaptation of the Photovoice method. This consisted of asking participants to take photos of meaningful activities they perform, would like to perform, represent their daily lives, and would like to be part of their daily lives. The data collected through the sociodemographic questionnaire were analyzed descriptively. The data collected through the adapted Photovoice method and the interview guide were analyzed using thematic content analysis, from which three categories of analysis emerged: What is meaningful to do: human activities; A daily life of meaningful activities; Using drugs is a meaningful activity (yes)! The results showed that participants attributed different meanings to meaningful activities and daily life, including the use of psychoactive substances itself. Daily life was understood as a daily routine composed of various activities, in addition to care/assistance activities, interpersonal relationships, and work activities. The data revealed that drug use influences the performance of meaningful activities and the daily lives of participants, but that it can also be considered a meaningful activity in people's lives. The research findings demonstrated the relevance of the Alcohol and Drug Psychosocial Care Center and the development of feelings of belonging in the contexts in which people with psychological distress due to alcohol and other drug use live for the performance of meaningful activities and the redefinition of their daily lives. Based on the theoretical framework adopted, it was possible to analyze the influence of psychological distress and drug use on the daily lives of participants. The study demonstrates the importance of considering the perspectives of people with psychological distress due to alcohol and other drug use in valuing their meaningful activities and redefining their daily lives, enabling qualification for this area of Occupational Therapy.

This study aims to develop and evaluate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems tailored to the needs of individuals with dysarthric speech — a condition that compromises communication clarity and limits the use of voice-based assistive technologies. One of the main challenges in dysarthric speech recognition lies in the scarcity of labeled data, and to address this issue, two complementary and interdependent approaches were examined. The first investigated pathology-oriented data augmentation techniques applied to two Transformer-based processing pipelines: FW1 and FW2. Signal perturbation methods — additive noise, time-stretching, and the proposed Spectral Oclution (SO) — were applied individually and in combination to recordings from the UA-Speech corpus. Exploratory analysis of Word Recognition Accuracy (WRA), Word Error Rate (WER), and Character Error Rate (CER) curves showed that combining noise and time-stretching consistently reduced errors in speakers with moderate intelligibility; SO provided additional gains in specific cases; and the union of all three perturbations benefited severe cases, although it could degrade nearly typical voices due to spectral overheating. The second approach, built upon the findings of the first, employed supervised pre-training on typical speech from the LJSpeech corpus. These baseline models were then subjected to a self-supervised contrastive cycle on the typical partition of UA-Speech, where the same transformations from Phase 1 (noise, time-stretching, and SO) were reused to generate positive pairs for contrastive training. Thus, augmentation strategies were not only validated in isolation but also served as the foundation for the contrastive stage. We evaluated two methods: Simple Framework for Contrastive Learning of Visual Representations (SimCLR) and Swapping Assignments between Views (SwAV). The refined weights were then transferred for fine-tuning on dysarthric datasets. Compared to the baseline trained solely on LJSpeech, both contrastive methods enhanced performance: SimCLR showed higher sensitivity to severe speakers, while SwAV maintained stable performance across all intelligibility levels, further reducing CER and WER and increasing WRA. In some severe cases, WER was reduced by more than 20 percentage points. In summary, the integration of targeted data augmentation and contrastive pre-training resulted in ASR models more robust to the articulatory variability of dysarthria, supporting the inclusion of dysarthric speakers in voice-based communication systems.

This research aims to describe and analyze hesitation in interactions carried out through customer service chats that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, based on the Interactive Textual Perspective (Jubran, 2006). The investigation focuses on identifying and describing the linguistic markers of hesitation in interactions mediated by three types of interlocutors: human agents, users, and a chatbot, as well as verifying how these markers manifest and impact the perception of fluency, comprehension, and humanization in dialogue. The study is grounded in the understanding of AI as a technical field that also seeks to develop agents capable of simulating human behavior (Russell; Norvig, 2016; Nilsson, 1998), with particular focus on automated conversational systems (Jurafsky; Martin, 2023), such as chatbots, which constitute hybrid environments between orality and writing. In this context, hesitation is defined as an interactive-discursive phenomenon with a textual function, capable of signaling doubt, organizing discourse, and seeking cooperation, as discussed by Marcuschi (1999), Marcuschi (2000). The analyzed data are drawn from a corpus of real customer service interactions conducted by a nationally recognized company that authorized the use of the data. The methodology involves the qualitative and quantitative categorization of hesitation markers according to linguistic criteria, including frequency of hesitations, type of hesitation, communicative context, impact on interactions, user response, human vs. AI comparison, conversation length, pragmatics of hesitation, cognitive aspect of hesitation, and interactional aspect of hesitation. The analysis shows that hesitation, when more frequent among human interlocutors—mainly in functional words and hesitation markers—is associated with interactions that generate effects of empathy and cooperation from users. In contrast, the absence or superficial simulation of this phenomenon in AI turns compromises the continuity and naturalness of the interaction. By situating hesitation as an important element in the construction and fluency of conversations mediated by humans and robots, this research explores and connects the subject to the field of technology and may contribute to studies on the humanization of AI in automated customer service, reinforcing the importance of integrating linguistic, pragmatic, and technological aspects in the design of conversational systems that are more sensitive to natural language.
Entre margens e vozes: a construção discursiva da autoria em Carolina Maria de Jesus e Conceição Evaristo

When we reflect on authorship, we can shed light on a multitude of perspectives and ideas that draw us to both literary studies and discourse studies, making this concept, in its own way, the result of discussions and practices that constantly call the author into question. In this context, Dominique Maingueneau, in Literary Discourse (2006), posits that the author is composed of three instances that function intertwined and simultaneously—namely, the person, the writer, and the inscriber—thus giving shape to the authorial work. However, in Ten Concepts in Discourse Analysis (2010), by proposing the notion of the author’s image, Maingueneau challenges his own formulation of authorship by arguing that the work with the text and the construction of a work are not the exclusive domain of the author, but also of managers, commentators, and interveners who, together, shape the image one has of the author, as well as help mold that image into positive or negative values. From this perspective, we seek to understand the functioning and management of the authorship of Carolina Maria de Jesus and Conceição Evaristo, examining two lines of analysis, respectively, each with a different starting point, that is, with distinct materials and excerpts. To this end, within the framework of discursive studies, we draw on the concept of the author’s image (Maingueneau, 2006, 2010) to examine the functioning of authorship and the management of Carolina and Conceição’s authorial image, constructing two analytical trajectories based on Maingueneau’s (2007) notion of the “trajectory” as a non-topical unit. Following the analyses, it was possible to observe that the functioning of authorship and the construction and management of an author’s image occur, on the one hand, through the materials and excerpts analyzed by the researcher and, on the other, simultaneously through the authorial work itself as well as through the managers, commentators, and interveners of the work — while the authorship and construction of Carolina Maria de Jesus’s authorial image are currently managed by posthumous interveners, Conceição Evaristo exercises her own active management because she is alive, yet her authorial image is still valued by interveners and commentators, demonstrating that authorship, far from being the exclusive domain of the author, is markedly dynamic and determined by various factors.

Several clinical situations require surgeries that reduce the volume of the orbital cavity, making it necessary to replace this volume to preserve the patient's aesthetics. There is still no consensus on the ideal material for this. A promising alternative is the Biosilicate implant, already clinically tested. However, its fabrication by melt-solidification limits the creation of complex shapes. In this context, the digital light process (DLP) emerges as a ceramic additive manufacturing technique that offers high surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Therefore, the objective of this study was to manufacture, in a novel way, intraorbital implants based on Biosilicate using the DLP technique. Biosilicate was successfully obtained and characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The effects of milling with and without solvent were demonstrated through dilatometric analyses. Sintering can be performed at 950°C without significant foaming, preserving the integrity of the printed structure. With the Biosilicate in hand, the suspension was prepared for DLP printing, aiming for high solids concentration and good stability. Rheological studies with different solids (30, 40, and 50% vol) and dispersant (0.1–5% vol) contents indicated that the formulation with 40% solids and 5% dispersant, although presenting a viscosity slightly above the ideal value, was considered suitable and chosen for printing the intraorbital implants. The implants were successfully printed, resulting in defect-free, gyroid-like parts after the thermal debinding and sintering processes. In vitro bioactivity tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) showed the formation of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) after only 6 hours of immersion.

This study focuses on public use (PU) and ecotourism in the Capão Bonito Forest (FLONA), with a particular emphasis on planning ecotourism itineraries for the Visitation, Interpretation, and Environmental Education Program in the Conservation Unit (UC). The UC is located in the state of São Paulo (SP) and covers the municipalities of Buri and Capão Bonito. Located in an area of high ecological and sociocultural importance, the study aimed to evaluate potential itineraries and attractions that could contribute to the UC's visitation program. The study sought to diversify ecotourism practices by considering different visitor profiles and demands. Ten itineraries were evaluated based on the attributes and indicators of the List of Visitation Opportunities in Conservation Units (ROVUC) and were classified according to the experience classes suggested by the ROVUC. In conclusion, FLONA has high ecotourism potential, offering diverse experiences aligned with the management zones. A Public Use Plan should be developed to regulate public visitation and integrate conservation, education, and local development.

Breastfeeding is one of the fundamental pillars for promoting child and postpartum women's health and should be considered in the agendas of prenatal, perinatal, and child growth and development follow-up care. Breastfeeding counseling emerges as a recommended technology to strengthen this practice. It is structured on a horizontal relationship and dialogue between the professional and the woman/breastfeeding person. Counseling increases breastfeeding rates, strengthens the woman/mother-child bond, contributes to female empowerment, and provides unique care. The counseling professional possesses the ability to welcome, understand, and support the breastfeeding person in the processes involved in the practice. Furthermore, the person always has some expectation regarding the nutritional care of their child. Considering this, this study took as its question 'how are the relationships in breastfeeding counseling characterized, to what extent do they reach subjectivities and establish an interactional process that promotes welcome and hope for women?'. The objectives were to analyze the process of establishing the relationship between postpartum women and nurse breastfeeding counselors in rooming-in, to understand hope in the breastfeeding process from the perspective of women who received breastfeeding counseling, and to analyze the person-to-person relationship between postpartum women and nurses in the context of breastfeeding counseling. This is a cross-sectional, qualitative-interpretative research, supported by Joyce Travelbee's Interpersonal Relation (person-to-person) Theory and Dufault & Martocchio's multidimensional model of hope. Data collection took place from may 2024 to june 2025, through single audio-recorded interviews with four counseling nurses and eleven women who received breastfeeding counseling in the rooming-in facilities of three hospitals affiliated with the Unified Health System, located in Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Bahia. Thematic analysis, as proposed by Naeem et al. (2023), was adopted for data appraisal, using Atlas.ti® software for information grouping. The analysis enabled the identification of seven themes: 'Child health and development: desire projected onto breastfeeding', 'Practical management of breastfeeding and the maintenance of hope', 'Presence: an advanced competence and the core of counseling', 'Counseling: openness, freedom, and hope', 'Counseling in Rooming-In: intervening factors', 'Counseling: motivation and transcendence', and 'Counseling: importance and recommendations for longitudinal follow-up'. The person's decision to breastfeed is supported by the intended outcomes for the child – better health and life for the child – as well as the creation of unique and lasting bonds. These are hoped-for objects that keep them pursuing breastfeeding and facing its challenges. The relationship with the counselor contributed to the experience of hope in the process. The effective establishment of the person-to-person relationship was mainly determined by the presence demonstrated by the counselor, highlighting her ability to listen and availability to provide support, adjusting the woman's hopes regarding breastfeeding towards something feasible. This depends on an available and attuned presence, which remains in memory and is reactivated in later times when facing breastfeeding challenges. The person-to-person relationship was central to the achievements of counseling, wherein the interactional elements were essential for the relationship to be qualified as dialogical and horizontal. The relational and behavioral characteristics, as well as the personal hope attributes of the professional, reverberated in the woman's lived experience, favoring overcoming the challenges of mothering and breastfeeding, in order to strengthen the woman's hope and autonomy and the success of breastfeeding. Counseling in the rooming-in period reverberates to times after it, given the memory that the person-to-person relationship built and its effects on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of hope. The study endorses breastfeeding counseling as a practice that promotes and protects breastfeeding in the rooming-in context, with the person-to-person relationship and hope-promoting processes at the core of this practice.

The analysis of society through technology is part of the framework studied in Science, Technology, and Society. This research analyzes the scientific knowledge produced in theses and dissertations related to electronic voting. The approaches used are quantitative and qualitative, employing the methods of Bibliometrics and Content Analysis. Through a systematic review of specialized literature, 116 theses and dissertations deposited between 2002 and 2022 in academic repositories in Brazil (50), the United States (60), and Romania (6) were selected and examined, based on specific search terms adapted to each context. For each work, institutional data, authorship, supervision, and year of defense were collected, in addition to conducting content analysis. From the analyses, the emergence of blockchain technology was identified as one of the most relevant trends in contemporary discussions on integrity, transparency, and security in electronic voting. Thus, the analysis was deepened for countries that have already adopted this technology in their electoral processes. Romania, in particular, was the subject of a detailed study for presenting a pioneering and normatively structured system for the use of blockchain in elections, considered a reference in the European context. The Romanian experience was examined based on documentary analysis, such as official documents from the country, specialized literature, and based on international parameters of electoral security. The results indicate that, although the use of blockchain is not yet widespread, its refinement and future application to national elections can offer significant guarantees regarding the traceability and inviolability of electoral data. In this sense, further comparative studies and pilot applications in different national contexts are recommended, with a view to building adaptable, transparent, and technologically secure models using blockchain.

This dissertation aims to investigate the transcreation of the film Mary Shelley, directed by Haifaa al Mansour and written by Emma Jensen, by considering biographical and literary aspects to examine the space that Mary Shelley's poetics occupies in the cinematic narrative. In the biopic, the filmmaker transcreates the life of the author, suggesting that elements of her experience as a woman in a nineteenth century patriarchal society are represented in the main characters of her novel. Thus, moments from Mary Shelley's life are intertwined with the narrative of Frankenstein. Based on the concept of transcreation proposed by Haroldo de Campos and the sociological criticism developed by Fredric Jameson, this study analyzes how the filmmaker engages with the novel and, through transcreation, what she chooses to omit—since every formal choice is revealing. The filmic reading is, to some extent, semantically expanded, as Jameson (1992) suggests, going beyond the manifested content to reach a more advanced horizon of interpretation that aligns with a feminist critique of the novel. However, other aspects remain unexplored, perhaps due to limitations imposed by the filmmaker’s background or the socio-historical context of her time. Therefore, a deeper analysis of Mary Shelley's life and work will be carried out in order to understand why the filmmaker does not advance to a third horizon of interpretation, and how the consciousness developed by the novelist in the nineteenth century has traveled through time and space to reach a filmmaker who, in many ways, faces the same challenges in the twenty-first century.

La terapia ocupacional se introdujo como profesión en Colombia en la segunda mitad de la década de 1960. Sin embargo, prácticas previas que incorporaron ocupaciones en el tratamiento de la locura han sido poco estudiadas. Análisis históricos ubican la ocupación de alienados en trabajos y distracciones como una práctica extendida, confluyen en vincular su origen con el tratamiento moral del alienismo europeo y señalan la importancia de considerar factores sociales, políticos, culturales y económicos en su apropiación en contextos particulares. La investigación examina el trabajo y otras ocupaciones en el abordaje de personas internadas en el Manicomio Departamental de Antioquia, en Medellín, Colombia, durante la existencia de esta institución. Se construyó un archivo de fuentes primarias que incluye normativas, informes, literatura científica, prensa, imágenes, historias clínicas y referentes empleados por los médicos. Otros estudios históricos fueron fuentes secundarias. El relato se centra en el uso de ocupaciones en el Manicomio, intentando identificar sus transformaciones y situarlas en el contexto de sus condiciones sociales de producción. El inicio del periodo se ubica alrededor de 1888, cuando la Academia de Medicina de Medellín recomendó disponer condiciones de medio adecuadas para el tratamiento, incluyendo espacios para la ocupación de los enajenados. Se cierra en 1958, en el ámbito de transición entre Manicomio y Hospital Mental, cuando se conformó el Departamento de Ergoterapia. En ese lapso, se identifican tres periodos: en condiciones de medio adecuadas... talleres, huertas y lugares de recreo en la creación del Manicomio (c.1888-1904); ocupación para los enajenados tranquilos (1904-1948), y llegada de la ergoterapia/terapia ocupacional (1948-1958). En el primero, la ocupación de los enajenados se insinúa como parte del tratamiento que ocurrirá por vía del secuestro en un asilo convenientemente diseñado y construido. El tratamiento fusiona elementos de la asistencia caritativa y la atención médica. En el segundo periodo, se instituye la ocupación de los enajenados tranquilos. La ocupación, en particular el trabajo, se mueve entre gran remedio de la locura, medio moral de tratamiento, auxilio para el sostenimiento de la institución y forma de vida en el confinamiento. El tratamiento se estructura conjugando medios físicos y morales, entre estos la ocupación, tomando elementos del alienismo francés. Las teorías degeneracionistas, la creciente exclusión y segregación, el interés médico en el desarrollo de tratamientos biológicos y somáticos, dan espacio para que la ocupación se convierta en modo de vida en el confinamiento. En el tercer periodo, la ocupación se configura como método sistemático de tratamiento psiquiátrico y psicoterápico al que se denomina laborterapia, ergoterapia, terapia o terapéutica ocupacional. Su efectividad se condiciona a una aplicación metódica bajo dirección médica y con él se aspira a apoyar los procesos psicoterápicos, a restablecer la capacidad productiva y las relaciones interpersonales y al autosostenimiento de la institución. Para afirmar su carácter científico, se basa, principalmente, en la terapia ocupacional estadounidense y la terapia activa alemana. Se usa como ocupación preferente el trabajo auténtico, priorizando talleres industriales que semejan las líneas de producción antioqueñas. Esta propuesta, consolidada en el Departamento de Ergoterapia, surge de un nuevo movimiento caritativo y se desenvuelve en un contexto de transición impulsado por la cooperación internacional de la posguerra mundial. La ergoterapia fue clave en la legitimación de la institución y del saber médico-psiquiátrico en el tratamiento de la enfermedad mental, lo que habría postergado la llegada a Colombia de la terapia ocupacional como profesión.

In this ethnographic research I seek to understand, from a decolonial approach, the strategies of resistance and struggle of the quilombola community Ramal de Quindiua, in the face of the construction of the Ponte Antônio Jorge Dino complex and the MA-211 road, located in the municipality of Bequimão, Baixada Maranhense region. Such strategies will be proven based on multi-sited ethnography, which made it possible to construct analyzes at different times to see the impacts of the enterprise over the four years of carrying out this research (Marcus, 1994). Throughout the research, the “Ramais de Resistências” that connect throughout all the quilombola territories in the municipality of Bequimão and that have been strengthened by the political articulation of the Quilombola Movement of Bequimão (MOQBEQ) (Sousa, 2018), were a catalyst for analyzing the quilombola solidarity that was presented during the fieldwork. Adding to the fight for the definitive title of quilombola territories in the state of Maranhão, the quilombola territory of Ramal de Quindiua, the empirical field of this doctoral research, I use the countercolonial theories of Antônio Bispo dos Santos (2023) and Beatriz Nascimento (1985), to discuss the concepts of “confluences” and “body-territory” in the search to reflect and understand the realities lived within the territory-body. Based on the history, ways of life and knowledge of this community, I analyze how the notion of good living was constructed within the quilombola territory Ramal de Quindiua through the concept of “quilombola genius”. This notion helps us understand how ancestral resistance strategies of quilombola communities have ensured their existence since the Brazilian slavery period. If the ancestral struggle was guided by the search for places to live in freedom, today it is updated by the struggle to exist as subjects of rights in their territories in the face of the effects of state enterprises that make quilombola communities vulnerable. This is the case with the construction of the bridge over the Pericumã river and the paving of the MA-211 road. The way in which the Antônio Jorge Dino bridge (also known as Central/Bequimão) and the MA-211 were built highlights the environmental racism perpetrated by the State itself, since no public consultation was carried out before starting the work within the quilombola territory Ramal de Quindiua.
