ANÁLISE DE RISCOS NA PRODUÇÃO DE FRIGORÍFICOS: ESTRATÉGIAS PARA PREVENÇÃO E CONTROLE

This paper is a scientific article whose theme is the analysis of risks in the production of meatpacking plants: strategies for prevention and control. In this environment, workers face physical risks, biological risks and risks of accidents. This is because, in meatpacking plants, we find places where the temperature is extremely low (usually below 0º). Therefore, the function of the PPE provided is to provide safety to avoid humidity, low temperatures, noise, injuries caused by sharp instruments and biological contamination. What strategies should be adopted to prevent and control the occurrence of accidents and/or the spread of diseases in the production line of meatpacking plants, based on risk analysis? The general objective is: to describe what risk management is as well as the best way to apply it in a meatpacking plant to prevent accidents and control occupational diseases. The specific objectives are: to characterize what risk analysis and management are in a meatpacking plant; to present the main characteristics of the production environment as well as the main precautions that should be taken to ensure the physical integrity of the worker; describe the guidelines set out in NR-32 and its determinations for occupational health and safety, especially in companies that work with the slaughter and processing of meat and meat products.

O IMPACTO DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NA SOCIEDADE DIANTE DA LEI GERAL DE PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS: A LIMITAÇÃO JURÍDICA DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL DIANTE DA LEI Nº 13.709/18

This is a scientific article whose theme is the impact of artificial intelligence on society in light of the General Data Protection Law. The LGPD defines the liability of data processing agents, who are controllers and operators, for damages caused by the exercise of the processing activity, in a manner similar to the system of the Consumer Defense Code (CDC). By providing citizens with rights over their data, the LGPD also tends to increase public transparency regarding data collection and analysis. Thus, it will not be restricted to private companies; in the public sphere, the State will also have to be clearer about how it handles citizen data. The aforementioned law establishes rules for the storage, sharing, use, and collection of citizen data, whether by public or private companies. The article aims to demonstrate how the uncontrolled use of artificial intelligence affects society as a whole, such as the new personal data protection legislation, protecting users and democracy, as well as highlighting the main difficulties faced by companies in the process of adapting and complying with the LGDP standards and the legal limitations of Artificial Intelligence. As a theoretical basis, articles, conventions and laws that corroborate the Brazilian legal system were adopted. The methodology used was a descriptive and exploratory literature review.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer People's Experiences of Stigma Across the Spectrum of Inpatient Psychiatric Care: A Systematic Review.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other diverse sexual orientations and gender identity groups (LGBTQ+) face high rates of poor mental health. In the most severe and emergent of instances, inpatient psychiatric care may be required. LGBTQ+ people report experiences of mistreatment in healthcare settings broadly, such as denial of healthcare services and harassment from healthcare providers and other patients. However, little is known about the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in inpatient psychiatric care settings, specifically. The purpose of this review was to assess the existing literature for descriptions of LGBTQ+ people's experiences within inpatient psychiatric care. We searched multiple databases (i.e., PubMed, PsychINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science and Google Scholar) for peer-reviewed articles that described the experiences of LGBTQ+ people within inpatient psychiatric care that were published in English. The included articles (N = 14) were analysed using a conceptual model of stigma and organised within those strata (structural, interpersonal and individual stigma) across the inpatient experience, (admission, inpatient unit, and discharge). Themes identified included: noninclusive intake tools and pervasive misgendering during the admission process; lack of healthcare infrastructure, inadequate training and lack of cultural humility, pervasive discrimination and victimization, silencing of LGBTQ+ patients, and feelings of fear and shame while on inpatient units, and lack of community resources during the discharge process. Clinicians should consider the perspectives and experiences of LGBTQ+ people to enact identity-affirming care practices that may increase mental healthcare engagement and improve long-term mental health outcomes.

Phonotacticon: a cross-linguistic phonotactic database

Abstract Phonotacticon is a cross-linguistic database that contains syllabic phonotactic information about spoken lects (linguistic varieties), including the possible forms of the onset, nucleus and coda of each lect, as well as the phonemic and tonemic inventories. In this paper, we present Phonotacticon 1.0, which contains the phonotactic profiles of 516 Eurasian lects retrieved from descriptive literature. The later versions of Phonotacticon will extend beyond Eurasia and will ultimately cover spoken lects in all macroareas. As an example of the research potential of this database in future studies, we have generated from Phonotacticon several descriptive visualizations, such as the distribution of the maximal onset length, to demonstrate the visually discernible areal distribution of certain phonotactic patterns.

Effective Teacher Professional Development for School-Based Mental Health Promotion: A Review of the Literature.

Teachers are critically involved in the delivery of school-based mental health promotion (SMHP) interventions in school, though pre-service teacher education often leaves teachers feeling underprepared in this area. Thus, understanding how best to build teachers' capacity for delivery through effective professional development (PD) is essential for teachers to fulfill their role as delivery agents to achieve SMHP outcomes. This systematized review focuses on identifying components of high-quality teacher PD for SMHP and examining the empirical support for these components. In a two-phase analysis, we examined the descriptive literature regarding teacher PD for SMHP to identify common elements. This resulted in the identification of components relevant to training (interactive, guided by staff input) and technical assistance (TA), including the goals (skill development, motivation, generalization/adaptation), approach (collaborative, individualized, data-driven, strengths-based), and activities (modeling, performance feedback, reflection, problem solving) involved. A second phase focused on the examination of empirical evidence for these PD components. While the empirical evidence for these components was limited, the identified components represent a current standard of practice in teacher PD for SMHP, based on the existing research. These components may provide a framework for practical use in planning teacher PD related to SMHP and for designing future research into effective capacity building in this area.

Beyond the Boundaries of Faith: A Multidimensional of Religious Spatial Segregation in the Context of Urban Society

This study aims to analyzes the spatial dimension of religion contributes to polarization and conflict between religious groups in urban societies. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature review method, this research explores the forms, impacts, and prevention efforts of religious spatial segregation through analysis of cases involving the dissolution of religious rituals and rejection of houses of worship construction. This study argues that the spatial dimension of religion reinforces the boundaries of religious differences, transforming them from imaginary to clear and practical boundaries, thus giving rise to tensions between religious groups. In order to address religious violence resulting from segregation, this study proposes a peacebuilding design with an integrative structural and socio-cultural approach. The research findings indicate that the concept of religious spatiality is both ambiguous and paradoxical, with blurred categorizations of space trigger contestation of meaning between groups, potentially leading to conflict and violations of religious freedom. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of religious conflict in urban contexts and highlights the importance of a spatial approach in conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts.
