This study proposes a conceptual framework for the management of Working Groups (WGs) in the Electoral Justice system, based on the integration between governance and innovation methodologies. The research is anchored in the Design Science (DS) paradigm and adopts the Systemic Engineering of Epistemic Designs (SEED) method as a methodological matrix, combined with the TRACE Cycle and the BUILD Model for structuring the artifact. The investigative path, of a qualitative and applied nature, included the AS-IS mapping of the activities of the WGs of the Regional Electoral Court of Goi & aacute;s (TRE-GO), validated by a WG Coordinator of the body. The resulting framework is organized into four constructs, four structuring axes, and twelve methodological components distributed in the input , throughput , and output phases , offering a structured path to overcome gaps in standardization, monitoring, and retention of institutional knowledge, contributing to managerial innovation in the judicial context, with potential for replicability in other Public Administration bodies.
In the context of global transformations of democratic regimes and the growing crisis of political legitimacy, the study of political participation is increasingly relevant. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods, including literature review (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar) and analysis of IFES, World Bank, European Parliament, and EIGE reports, the research develops a model for assessing twenty-first-century political participation. Key evolutionary stages of participation theories are identified: institutional-behavioral (early 2000s), communicative-network (2010-2015), identity-existential (2015-2020), and post-institutional crisis-reflective (2020-present). Modern political mobilization is increasingly flexible, hybrid, emotional, and digitally mediated, requiring new theoretical frameworks. A critical classification of participation theories-liberalelite, participatory, resource-mobilization, digital-network, radical-democratic, postcolonial, and resilient-reveals diverse citizen engagement patterns. The proposed Analytical Model covers institutional, socio-cultural, digital-communicative, and semantic-existential dimensions, highlighting a paradigm shift from formal to value-driven, identity-based, and digitally mediated participation, reshaping approaches to legitimacy, representativeness, and civic engagement.
This theoretical article addresses the invisibility of forced migrant women in Brazil and the challenges in realizing their rights, despite recent normative advances. Using a critical framework inspired by Carolina Hissa's work, it discusses how legal frameworks-the 1988 Federal Constitution, the Refugee Law (Law 9.474/1997) and the New Migration Law (Law 13.445/2017)-guarantee rights to refugees, but in practice forced migrant women remain on the margins, facing multiple vulnerabilities. It highlights the need for public policies sensitive to intercultural and intersectional perspectives, coordinating government and civil society efforts to promote full social inclusion of these women. The article underlines the importance of recognizing forced migrant women as rights-bearing subjects and agents of their own integration, moving beyond a merely assistance-based view and ensuring the exercise of citizenship in Brazil.
The article analyzes how legislative omission affects the effectiveness of constitutional rights aimed at reducing gender inequalities. It examines three provisions of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution that depend on regulation: art. 7, I, on protection against arbitrary dismissal; art. 245, concerning state compensation for crime victims; and art. 23, sole paragraph, regarding federative cooperation. The study employs a theoretical and normative approach, based on literature and document analysis, to demonstrate that the lack of regulation undermines the material effectiveness of women's fundamental rights and produces measurable social, economic and institutional impacts. It concludes that legislative inertia functions as a structural mechanism that maintains gender inequalities by preventing constitutional guarantees from being fully realized in women's daily lives.
This article analyzes gender quotas in Brazil, seeking to understand the influence of quotas on the democratization of Brazilian politics. To do this, we made a small digression into the power relations and resistance of women in politics, highlighting the relevance of quotas as affirmative policies in the process of building female political identity in Brazil. To help us redefine the role of women in this context, we will reflect, based on the understandings of SAFFIOTI (2004) AND SCOTT (2020), on the categories of Gender and Patriarchy, which are central theoretical constructions for understanding power relations and of social inequalities between men and women. The problem posed here is: Do gender quotas in Brazil promote the effective inclusion of women in politics or do they just perpetuate a symbolic inclusion? Theoretically, we rely on TOSI (2004), HERRERA FLORES (2009) and VIOLA (2008), to discuss human rights and democracy, and on PAIVA (2023) to discuss the political reality of Goi & aacute;s. The methodology used was bibliographical research and analysis of data from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) on the 2020 and 2022 electoral processes, using the state of Goi & aacute;s as a sample.
This study aimed to outline the motivations and expectations regarding the adoption of the protocol guidelines for judgment with a gender perspective in disciplinary administrative proceedings, within the scope of the Federal Public Administration, inaugurated by the Comptroller General of the Union through Technical Note No. 1869/2024/CGUNE/DICOR/CRG. The relevance of the problem investigated was justified by the potential for gender violence, inserted in the course of disciplinary accountability, mainly in cases of moral harassment, sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination. To conduct this study, bibliographical, documentary and normative research was used. As a category of analysis, black feminist studies were adopted. The results obtained in this research reveal that the main motivation for the use of protocol guidelines for judgment with a gender perspective in disciplinary accountability is a consequence of the recognition of structural factors of inequality inserted in the Brazilian Correctional Justice System model, which can lead to institutional violence. The expectations are that the entire public administration will provide minimal training to the processing committees responsible for conducting the PADs, and for this to happen, public institutions and their employees will need to commit to demanding their implementation, which is essential for creating a work environment in the Public Administration that has Human Rights as its pillar.
Anglicisms are words originating from the loan of English vocabulary. They are considered foreign to the receiving language until they become integrated, adapting to the region's linguistic reality. In Brazilian Portuguese (BP), some are used routinely even though there are lexical mechanisms capable of filling the semantic gaps they occupy. This established, we propose soft power, by Joseph Nye Jr., to understand the existence and continuity of these terms in BP. For that, it is necessary to recognize the relationship between language and politics and how the former can function as an expression of the latter. Based on this, a bibliographic and documentary research was performed to review theory, collect and examine samples detached from five news in the "Economy" section of the Folha de S & atilde;o Paulo website. The analysis of the samples demonstrated the presence of Anglicisms in technological and commercial domains, in addition to gaps unoccupied by corresponding signs in BP.
This article aims to identify the importance of women's representation in public spaces as a path toward the realization of participatory democracy and the principle of equality within the democratic models of contemporary states. Grounded in a decolonial theoretical framework, the study draws on Darcy Ribeiro's (1995) and Bhikhu Parekh's (2000) theories on multiculturalism, understood as the coexistence of diverse cultural forms within a communal diversity of groups characterized by cultural differences in modern society. It also considers the need for participatory democracy in recognizing cultural pluralities, while emphasizing that women's participation in public spaces has become increasingly essential for building spaces of otherness within democratic states. A critical analysis is conducted through Seyla Benhabib's (2021) reflections on the public/private distinction, which highlights how, throughout history, this distinction was constructed to confine women to a locus of activities deemed typically feminine. This discussion is further enriched by Maria Lugones' (2020) analysis of the subjection of bodies within the patriarchal colonialist structure. Women's participation and presence in public spaces constitute a fundamental step toward the construction and recognition of a participatory democracy attentive to the concept of otherness, historically denied by patriarchal structures.
From the emergence of the so-called "green wave" in Latin America, particularly during the second decade of the 21st century, the demand for abortion rights has become central to the struggle for reproductive rights and women's dignity. However, this debate reveals the contradictions within the so-called Women's Human Rights, which, despite their formal recognition, remain ineffective against the reality of criminalization and violence that particularly affect women from the Global South. This article proposes a critical reflection on these contradictions, articulating the Social Reproduction Theory (SRT) and Intersectionality as theoretical tools capable of questioning the reproductive rights agenda from the perspective of reproductive justice. It is an analysis based on feminist literature, especially the contributions of Black and Marxist feminism, questioning the centrality of formal legality in the face of the material practices of control and exploitation of women's bodies.
The text analyzes the historical evolution of women's human rights, highlighting significant milestones such as the French Revolution in 1789 and the World Wars. It addresses the political exclusion of women throughout much of human history and their relentless struggle for the recognition of equality. In Brazil, alongside discussions on gender and the fight against patriarchy, there are criticisms of the feminist movement and the colonization of knowledge. The 1988 Constitution advanced women's rights, yet inequalities and violence persisted, revealing a paradox: formal achievements did not guarantee effective protection. What interests us to investigate in this article, based on an intersectional discussion, is whether the recognition of women's socio-cultural specificities could contribute to the effective realization and validation of their human rights in a less paradoxical way.
Sexual assualt victims experience revictimization when seeking State support. Therefore, it is necessary an integrated assessment comprising medical, social assistance and legal medicine procedures without needing previous police report filing. This proposal would make feasible more satisfatory and reliable forensic results and would also optimize the answering time to the victims. The network is legally feasible inasmuch recent changes in sexual crimes legislation that categorize those as public criminal action. Futhermore, the Integrated Reporting System can be used to notify the authorities regarding the unfolding investigation.
Phan Thanh Gian (1796-1867) was a senior official of the Nguyen dynasty who served under Emperors Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, and Tu & Dstrok;irc, contributing notably to Vietnam's cultural and intellectual life. His philosophical outlook on human existence was shaped by classical Confucian learning and his extensive experience as an upright, diligent mandarin marked by integrity, impartiality, and competence. Central to his thought is the emphasis on moral values, especially filial piety, which he regarded as the fundamental ethical principle guiding human conduct within both family and society. Using historical-social, typological, and systematic approaches combined with analytical-synthetic methods, this study clarifies key aspects of his conception: filial piety as the basis of moral cultivation; as care, respect, and emotional support for parents; and as gratitude toward superiors and benefactors. His ideas retain lasting relevance in contemporary Vietnamese moral life.
Neural networks are effective in image analysis, identifying soil characteristics such as textures, colors and shapes, which are essential for extracting relevant information from the analyzed samples. The objective of this article is to screen images obtained from the Google Images(P) search platform to assess soil conditioning using Teachable Machine. The machine learning model was configured with 100 epochs and a batch size of 64 to train 200 images, aiming to improve classification and identification of characteristics. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of this technology to assist in assessing soil condition in agricultural and forestry areas. The study demonstrated the feasibility of using Convolutional Neural Networks to identify and classify soil images in different states of erosion and health. The Teachable Machine tool has proven to be effective in training models for this purpose, achieving accuracy rates of up to 100% in some categories.
This article analyzes the conceptualization of the HUNGER metaphor in the work Quarto de Despejo - Diario de uma Favelada, by Carolina Maria de Jesus. Based on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1980) and Cognitive Semantics (IBARRETXE-ANTU & Ntilde;ANO; FELTES), the study describes how the sensory experience of hunger triggers frames such as FIGHT, FAVELA, VIOLENCE, and EXPLORATION. Through the theoretical saturation technique, we categorize metaphorical expressions that highlight "yellow hunger" as a mechanism of cognition and denunciation of the socio-historical reality of the Caninde slum in the 1950s. The results demonstrate that metaphors in Carolina's narrative are not merely linguistic ornaments, but cognitive and cultural processes that structure resistance and social identity in the face of state marginalization.
This article presents a theoretical review with a qualitative approach on the constitution of subjectivities within virtual culture, under the aegis of global capitalism and the network society. Grounded in authors such as L & eacute;vy, Santaella, Dardot, and Laval, the study reflects on how digital technologies play a leading role in shaping contemporary subjects. The results indicate that the "neoliberal subject" emerges as an "entrepreneur of the self," managing their own life as a product in pursuit of high performance and elevated results. This digital immersion, marked by acceleration and informational bombardment, imposes challenges to critical reflection, redesigning both individual and collective dimensions. It concludes that today's cultural metamorphoses are driven by a culture of consumption and competitiveness, where virtuality and the new way of the world (the "new reason of the world") redefine what it means to be a subject in contemporaneity.
The increase in self-inflicted deaths among military police officers, which surpassed traditional operational risks, formed the basis for an investigation into the subjective dimensions of illness within the force. The study aimed to critically interpret the officers' discourses, relating organizational culture and personnel management to psychological distress. An exploratory-descriptive methodological design with a mixed-methods approach was adopted, using a structured questionnaire as a listening tool with a sample of 250 active-duty military police officers from the state of Tocantins. The results revealed a dissonance between the low rate of formal diagnoses and the high prevalence of perceived suffering, characterized by narratives of injustice, humiliation, and institutional resentment associated with career stagnation and lack of recognition. Physical activity and leisure were identified as the only statistically significant factors for protecting mental health. It was concluded that the risk of suicide within the institution transcended individual pathology, situated within the psychodynamics of work.
The study aims to provide a theoretical analysis of the rule of law in the context of armed conflict, focusing on governance and its practical implementation, and to develop recommendations for improving current legislation. The research is based on the Constitution of Ukraine, relevant laws and bylaws, and scholarly works of domestic researchers. A range of methods was applied, of alternatives, and legal-technical analysis. The findings demonstrate that during a full-scale invasion, adherence to the rule of law helps maintain social stability, ensures alignment with international legal standards, and limits the exercise of state power. Particular for effective post-war reconstruction and for combating corruption within the broader legal system.
The expansion of digital social media has significantly transformed public communication strategies, particularly in areas that require social mobilization, civic education, and the strengthening of relationships between institutions and citizens. In this context, animal protection has gained increasing prominence on the public agenda, requiring government agencies to develop new forms of interaction, public awareness, and information dissemination. This study aims to report the experience of the Communication Team of the Municipal Department of Animal Protection and Welfare of Palmas (SEBEM) in the use of institutional social media as a public communication tool for animal protection between April 2025 and April 2026. The study adopts a qualitative and descriptive approach through an experience report based on the observation of communication practices developed by the department and the analysis of performance indicators from publications on digital platforms. The findings indicate that social media served as important channels for strengthening communication between government and citizens, expanding the reach of institutional actions, increasing the visibility of public services, promoting awareness about animal protection, and encouraging social engagement with the cause. The results also reveal a significant capacity to disseminate content beyond the institution's follower base, highlighting the potential of digital media to enhance the visibility of public policies related to animal welfare.
