Associations Between Classroom Quality, Child Self-Regulation, and Psychological Adjustment in Early Childhood ́
Early childhood classroom quality can significantly influence children’s social-emotional and behavioral development, particularly during the early years, as shown in research emphasizing the importance of high emotional support, organization, and instructional quality. This study analyzes the influence of classroom quality dimensions, namely, emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support, with self-regulation skills, on pr…
Crafting Utopia
In an era marked by the global hegemony of neoliberal capitalism and the far right’s increasing popularity, the language of utopia has returned to scholarly and political debate, sometimes in conversation with Marxist positions. Still, the discussion hinges on whether such language propels us beyond capitalist social relations or confines itself to limited liberal ambitions. To clarify this tension, the article first revisits Karl Marx and Friedr…
Promoting personal and social skills in youth with disruptive behaviors
Disruptive behavior in youth (i.e., persistent oppositional, aggressive, or delinquent conduct) predicts harm to self and others, as well as long-term social exclusion. Tertiary, skill-oriented programs aim to prevent the escalation of these behaviors and strengthen personal and social skills. However, an up-to-date, comprehensive synthesis of their effectiveness is still lacking. In accordance with PRISMA 2020, we searched Web of Science, Scopus…
Exploring teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education
Teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education are among the most relevant predictors of successful inclusion. Several factors related to child, teacher and environment predict teacher attitudes. This study aims to analyse the relationship between teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education, their perception of self‐efficacy, and perceived school climate. A total of 463 teachers (81.4% female) participated in this study. A sociodemographic q…
Is It Just About a Renewed Conspiracy
Conspiracy thinking sprang up strongly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Portugal presents itself as an important context to analyze such relation because it attracted a diverse array of protests and mobilizations inspired on such conspiracy theories and performed in the country's main cities (i.e., Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media have been a privileged avenue to disseminate such protests through Facebook groups…
Políticas penales, prisión y género
La prisin es la institucin moderna por excelencia para el ejercicio del control sociopenal, un lugar donde violencias que son prohibidas en otras circunstancias son permitidas, y en donde otras, que se encuentran ampliamente normalizadas -como la violencia de gnero-son trasplantadas en sus propios trminos.El feminismo ha debatido vigorosamente la posibilidad de que la justicia criminal-penal y la institucin penitenciaria puedan no solo reproducir…
Entrevista com José d’Encarnação
A toponímia portuguesa é, simultaneamente, similar e muito diferente da toponímia brasileira. Apesar de ser o substrato de boa parte dos nomes de lugares no Brasil, a toponímia portuguesa é peculiar pela própria história da constituição de Portugal como nação, uma estrada que já era percorrida há pelo menos mil anos na época das grandes navegações. José d'Encarnação nos oferece, por meio de seu olhar de pesquisador que tropeça em topônimos diaria…
Police officers’ perspectives on state (police) violence
This paper comprises a theoretical and empirical incursion into the phenomenon of state violence, namely police violence. Although extensively explored in different perspectives within and outside academia, police violence is complex and has not been sufficiently problematized yet. In our understanding, this phenomenon requires a dialectical and dynamic discussion wherein both the development of state powers (macro-perspective) and how these powe…
Public protest and police violence
In recent years, in Portugal, public demonstrations of movements such as ‘Que se Lixe a Troika: Queremos as NossasVidas de Volta’ and ‘Geração à Rasca’ have led to police repression highly scrutinized by mass media. However, a specific understanding is still lacking as to how police officers and civil society are construing the repression of this kind of event and also as to how moral agency is thereof inhibited. To police officers (as ‘power-hol…
Tackling Harm Reduction, Human Rights and Drug Uses on Recreational Environments
This paper is organized into four parts of discussion. Firstly, we present the Portuguese decriminalization law and the central role of harm reduction within this framework. The second section discusses the mainstream meanings ascribed to the ‘HR double’ mainly anchored in problematic drug uses. The third section highlights the need to take into account the specificities of recreational drug uses, users and environments. Thus, the paper highlight…
Exposição múltipla a agrotóxicos e efeitos à saúde
Um estudo transversal foi realizado em uma comunidade agrícola localizada em Nova Friburgo, RJ, para conhecer os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e laboratoriais da exposição múltipla a agrotóxicos em uma amostra representativa de 102 pequenos agricultores, de ambos os sexos. Os trabalhadores foram submetidos a um extenso protocolo que incluía aplicação de questionário ocupacional, coleta de amostras biológicas para exame toxicológico e avaliaç…
Avaliação integrada do impacto do uso de agrotóxicos sobre a saúde humana em uma comunidade agrícola de Nova Friburgo, RJ
O impacto do uso de agrotóxicos sobre a saúde humana é um problema que tem merecido atenção da comunidade científica em todo o mundo, sobretudo nos países em desenvolvimento. O consumo de agrotóxicos na região sudeste do Brasil está estimado em 12kg de agrotóxico/trabalhador/ano. Em algumas áreas agrícolas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, como na região da Microbacia do Córrego de São Lourenço, Nova Friburgo, o consumo de agrotóxico foi estimado em 5…
