Let the people speak oppression in a time of reconciliation
"Over the past fifty years, Canada's Indigenous Affairs department (now two departments with more than 30 federal co-delivery partners) has mushroomed into a "super-province" delivering birth-to-death programs and services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. This vast entity has jurisdictional reach over 90% of Canada's landscape, and an annual budget of some $20 billion. Yet Indigenous people have no means to hold this "super-province" accountable to them. Not a single person in this entity has been elected by Indigenous people to represent their interests. Not one. When it comes to federal Indigenous policy, ordinary Indigenous people in Canada are voiceless and powerless. In Let the People Speak, author and journalist Sheilla Jones raises an important question: are the well-documented social inequities in Indigenous communities--high levels of poverty, suicide, incarceration, children in care, family violence--the symptoms of this long-standing, institutionalized powerlessness? If so, the solution lies in empowerment. And the means of empowerment is already embedded in the historic treaties. Jones argues that there can be meaningful reconciliation only when ordinary Indigenous Canadians are finally empowered to make their voices heard, and ordinary non-Indigenous Canadians can join with them to advance a shared future. Topics: Canada reconciliation, Indigenous politics, Canadian Indigenous politics, First Nations, Métis, Inuit"-
Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of quality of life questionnaire for cancer patients in palliative care in cultural Brazilian context
Introdução: Como o enfoque principal nos cuidados paliativos é a qualidade de vida, a avaliação deste item é de suma importância para verificar o cuidado proposto ao paciente. Existem poucos questionários específicos para avaliar a qualidade de vida do paciente em cuidado paliativo. Entre eles, o McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) é o que apresenta maior número de validações em outras línguas e as melhores pontuações pelas suas propriedades de medidas. No Brasil existem poucos questionários validados para avaliação da qualidade de vida, e apenas um é específico para pacientes em cuidados paliativos. Objetivos: Produzir uma versão do McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) em português, adaptada ao contexto cultural brasileiro, e verificar a validade e a confiabilidade da versão adaptada. Método: A versão original foi traduzida para o português de acordo com as recomendações da literatura, e então adaptada ao contexto brasileiro a partir de entrevistas iniciais com pacientes com câncer em cuidados paliativos do Instituto de Câncer do Estado de São Paulo (ICESP), até que se obteve uma versão final (MQOL-Br). Esta versão foi retrotraduzida para o inglês e aprovada pela autora da escala original. Para verificar a validade do MQOL-Br, este foi aplicado em conjunto com o EORTC QLQ-C30 (questionário para avaliar a qualidade de vida em pacientes com câncer) e o EGDC-Br (escala graduada de dor crônica Brasil), em entrevista com 101 pacientes da mesma população. A validade clínica do MQOL-Br foi testada a partir de comparação dos escores estratificando os pacientes pela funcionalidade (KPS) e status de atendimento (internado ou não). Para avaliar o grau de associação entre as subescalas do MQOL-Br e a qualidade geral de vida , foi realizada uma análise de regressão linear múltipla. A consistência interna foi avaliada através do alfa de Cronbach. A confiabilidade teste-reteste foi avaliada em uma segunda entrevista com 63 pacientes, entre 2 a 8 dias após a entrevista inicial. Resultados: Observou-se idade média de 62 anos (23-92), equilíbrio no número de pacientes do sexo feminino e masculino e predominância de pacientes com o primeiro grau incompleto. Pacientes com pior performance (KPS <= 60) e pacientes internados apresentaram escores menores do que aqueles com melhor performance ou ambulatoriais. Todas as subescalas e o MQOL-Br total apresentaram boa consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach superior a 0,7). As correlações entre as escalas mostraram validade convergente e divergente e boa validade concorrente da escala produzida. A regressão linear múltipla indicou que as subescalas Existencial e Sintomas físicos tiveram efeitos independentes sobre a qualidade de vida global. Na análise da estabilidade temporal foi encontrado coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC) moderado a bom para todas as subescalas (exceto Suporte, que teve ICC pobre) e escore total do MQOL-Br. Conclusão: Este estudo evidencia a validade e a confiabilidade da versão do Questionário de Qualidade de Vida McGill traduzida e adaptada para o português (MQOL-Br) quando aplicada a pacientes com câncer em cuidados paliativosBackground: As the main focus on palliative care is quality of life, evaluation of this item is very important to check care offered to patients. There are few specific questionnaires to assess quality of life of patients in palliative care. Among them, McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) has greatest number of validations in other languages and best scores for its measurement properties. In Brazil there are few validated questionnaires for assessing quality of life; however, only one is specific for patients in palliative care. Objectives: Produce a version in Brazilian Portuguese of McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) adapted to Brazilian cultural context and check cross-cultural validity and reliability of modified version. Method: Original version was translated into Brazilian Portuguese in accordance with guidelines of literature, and then adapted to Brazilian context through initial interviews with cancer patients in palliative care at São Paulo Cancer Institute (ICESP) until final version was reached (MQOL-Br). This version was back translated into English and approved by the author of original scale. For MQOL-Br validity check, it was applied in conjunction with EORTC QLQ-C30 (questionnaire to assess quality of life in cancer patients) and CPG-Br (chronic pain graded scale Brazil), in interviews with 101 patients from the same population. Clinical validity of MQOL-Br was tested from comparison of scores, stratifying patients by functionality (KPS) and treatment status (admitted or not). To assess the degree of association between MQOL-Br subscales and overall quality of life, it was performed a multiple linear regression analysis. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach\'s alpha. Test-retest reliability was assessed in a second interview with 63 patients between 2-8 days after initial interview. Results: It was observed a mean age of 62 years (23-92), balance in number of female and male patients and prevalence of patients with incomplete primary education. Patients with poor performance (KPS <= 60) and inpatients had lower scores than those with better performance or outpatient. All subscales and total MQOL-Br showed good internal consistency (Cronbach\'s alpha above 0.7). Correlations between scales demonstrated convergent and divergent validity and good concurrent validity of scale produced. Multi-regression analysis indicated that Existential and Physical symptoms subscales had independent effects on overall quality of life. Temporal stability analysis showed intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) moderate to good for all subscales (except Support, which had poor ICC) and MQOL-Br total score. Conclusion: This study demonstrates validity and reliability of the version of Quality of Life Questionnaire McGill translated and adapted to Brazilian Portuguese (MQOL-Br) when applied to patients with cancer in palliative car
Development, roll-out and implementation of an antimicrobial resistance training curriculum harmonizes delivery of in-service training to healthcare workers in Kenya
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly severe threat to global public health that requires action across different sectors. Selection of appropriate antimicrobials is an urgent challenge due to the emergence of drug resistance. In 2017, Kenya developed an AMR policy and National Action Plan to drive prevention and containment of AMR. A priority activity under AMR surveillance strategic objective was to develop a national AMR training curriculum for in-service healthcare workers. In this paper we discuss the development process, gains achieved through implementation across the country and lessons learned.
Methods: An initial stakeholders’ forum was convened to brainstorm on the process for developing the curriculum and some issues deliberated upon include the design approach, development roadmap, curriculum outline and scope, delivery, and evaluation methodologies. A dedicated team of subject matter experts (SMEs), drawn from the project and government ministries, compiled the initial draft of the curriculum and later the training materials. A series of other stakeholders’ meetings were convened to review these materials. The National Antimicrobial Stewardship Interagency Committee (NASIC) of the MOH in Kenya identified a team of experts from academia, research, and government to work with the SMEs in reviewing and providing valuable inputs to the curriculum. Additionally, principles of adult learning and a One Health approach for development were considered as AMR has drivers and impacts across sectors. A validation workshop was held to finalize the documents with a formal launch conducted during the World Antibiotics Awareness Week of 2020.
Results: A multisectoral AMR surveillance training curriculum and facilitator and trainee manuals were developed and endorsed by MOH and Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives within one year. Over 500 healthcare workers in 19 counties were trained, with overwhelming adoption by other stakeholders in Kenya and beyond.
Conclusion: This curriculum was developed to standardize training for AMR detection and surveillance. The central role played by the MOH ensured expeditious development and roll-out of this curriculum. The in-service curriculum, now available on an e-learning platform, provides a ready opportunity to build capacity of healthcare professionals. Additional resources are needed to standardize and scale these efforts to reach all healthcare workers

POR QUE CONTINUAR LENDO PAULO FREIRE NOS DIAS DE HOJE?
Paulo Freire\u27s works contribute significantly to education, and his pedagogy stands out for being an instrument of criticality. However, some criticisms fall on the author, especially with regard to the quality of Brazilian education. Thus, the aim of this research is to discuss the importance and contribution of Paulo Freire\u27s pedagogy to education, with the opinion of teachers at the center of the debate. To achieve the objective, an interview was conducted with a group of teachers. We conclude that the readings on Paulo Freire aroused a teacher subject concerned with a more humanized education and centered on dialogue, as well as with the overthrow of the educational paradigm. In short, teachers began to identify themselves differently with the profession, so that being a teacher gained new meanings.As obras de Paulo Freire contribuem de maneira relevante para a educação, e sua pedagogia se destaca por ser um instrumento de criticidade. Entretanto, algumas críticas recaem sobre o autor, principalmente no que tange à qualidade da educação brasileira. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é discutir a importância e a contribuição da pedagogia de Paulo Freire para a educação, tendo no centro do debate a opinião de professores. Para atingir o objetivo, foi realizada uma entrevista com um grupo de professores. Concluímos que as leituras sobre Paulo Freire despertaram um sujeito professor preocupado com uma educação mais humanizadora e centrada no diálogo, bem como na derrubada do paradigma educacional. Em suma, os professores passaram a se identificar de modo diferente com a profissão, de modo que ser professor ganhou novos significados.
 
Utilisation of Online Platform to Promote COVID-19 Prevention in University of Jember : Staff and Students Acceptance
COVID-19 pandemic has hit almost all regions of Indonesia in the last year. Rapid changes in
information, prevention protocols, and policies regarding this pandemic often cause turmoil and
confusion amid its citizens. In a workplace such as a university, different demographics and
characteristics of the individuals may influence approaches in accessing and understanding the
abundant information available online. This condition necessitates the building of a comprehensive
COVID-19 prevention system and information network by the university. University of Jember has
developed a comprehensive online platform regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, managed by health
professionals. This platform contains a direct assistance service, telemedicine consultation,
education through social media, and a cluster tracing system. In this paper, we share how the online

Utilization of Online Platform to Promote COVID-19 Prevention in University of Jember: Staff and Students Acceptance
platform has been utilized and the acceptance among its users. From the 870 students, staff, and
citizens around the university utilizing social media and telemedicine services, recorded in the first
five months of the pandemic, 150 were randomly chosen to fill out a short questionnaire which had
been evaluated for validity and reliability. About 40% respondents rated the platform as helpful,
43% rated as very helpful, and the rest rated it as less useful. The age distribution of the users also
showed that younger users tend to choose social media rather than the telemedicine service provided
by appointed health professionals, but older users tend to utilize the telemedicine more. In
conclusion, the online platform to promote COVID-19 prevention is generally accepted, but a
subsequent study needs to be conducted to obtain better understanding of how to optimize it
Charms and disenchantments in Camaputiuia agrarian conflicts and quilombola resistance
This dissertation aims to analyze agrarian conflicts in the Quilombola Territory of
Camaputiua. Its presentation starts from the terms “charms” and “disenchantments” of human
rights formulated by Rubio (2014). According to the author, the “charms” consist of the
emancipatory dimension of human rights, when one sees the liberation of the instruments of
domination that prevent the realization of these rights. However, it presents a counterpoint to
these “charms”, which are the “disenchantments”. They consist of the difficulty in
implementing human rights, as they are only based on theories, while the reality is totally
different from the legal provisions. Soon, the legislation related to quilombolas was cataloged,
evidencing the Federal Constitution of 1988 and Convention No. 169 on indigenous and tribal
peoples of the International Labor Organization. Then, the challenges for the implementation
of these rights and the conflicts experienced by quilombolas due to these “disenchantments”
were exposed, as well as the difficulty of access to the justice systems. It also discusses the
resistance strategies of quilombolas in the face of these conflicts, showing the attempt to
break with the system of domination and breaking the stigma of victimization. Finally, the
strong presence of the African religion was highlighted, which is also considered a “charm”
due to the close relationship between the enchanted and the quilombolas. Such results were
obtained from the analysis of vast bibliographic and documentary material, as well as
collected in field research, through direct observation, interviews, and conversations with
various social agents. The critical analysis of this material was essential to obtain the results
achieved.CAPESEsta dissertação tem o objetivo de analisar conflitos agrários no Território Quilombola de
Camaputiua. A sua apresentação parte dos termos “encantos” e “desencantos” dos direitos
humanos formulada por Rubio (2014). Segundo o autor, os “encantos” consistem na dimensão
emancipatória dos direitos humanos, ao se vislumbrar a libertação dos instrumentos de
dominação que impedem a concretização desses direitos. Contudo, ele apresenta um
contraponto a esses “encantos”, que são os “desencantos”. Eles consistem na dificuldade de
implementação dos direitos humanos, à medida que estes se fixam somente em teorias,
enquanto a realidade é totalmente dissonante do disposto nas previsões legais. Logo, foi
catalogada a legislação correlata aos quilombolas, evidenciando-se a Constituição Federal de
1988 e Convenção no 169 sobre povos indígenas e tribais da Organização Internacional do
Trabalho. Em seguida, foram expostos os desafios para a implementação desses direitos e os
conflitos vivenciados pelos quilombolas em decorrência desses “desencantos”, assim como a
dificuldade de acesso aos sistemas de justiça. Também discorre-se sobre as estratégias de
resistência dos quilombolas perante esses conflitos, evidenciando-se a tentativa de ruptura
com o sistema de dominação e quebrando estigmas de vitimização. Por fim, foi destacada a
forte presença da religião de matriz africana, o que também é considerado um “encanto”
devido à estreita relação entre os encantados e os quilombolas. Tais resultados foram obtidos
a partir da análise de vasto material bibliográfico e documental, bem como aquele coletado
em pesquisa de campo, por meio de observação direta, entrevistas e conversas com agentes
sociais diversos. A análise crítica desse material foi primordial para que se obtivessem os

As territorialidades específicas como categoria de análise na construção do direito de propriedade das Comunidades Quilombolas de Alcântara
The Federal Constitution of 1988 (FC/88) established the right of ownership of the remaining
quilombo communities in Brazil. It begins a new form of property, bringing a new legal look
at the content of this institute.Previously, the legal interpretation was regarded as an
affirmation of absolute private property, alienable and transferableThe article 68 of the
Transitory Constitutional Provisions Act (TCPA) da FC/88 established the so-called
“commom property”. By coining the concept of territory, it takes intoaccount the trajectory
crossed by the social group in question to seek to understand the property rights and the
different ways to actuate it, or even to understand the expectation of rights for each group, for
each community. This is the challenge this work proposes, having the social conflict
experienced by quilombola communities of Alcântara in the state of Maranhão, taken as an
analytical category, the self-appointed land of poverty, as a research field. Construct an
interpretive scheme "unusual", that is, that does not follow a linear, either, a chronology of
events. This work is concerned in analyzing the facts and events related to the trajectory of the
quilombola communities confined to the self-appointed land of poverty, keeping care to
establish an analytical connection with the ultimate goal of the research, the right of
ownership. It is presented in this study, the situations referred to social conflict of Alcântara
communities due to the implementation of the Space Base rockets in its territory in the 1890s;
the construction of specific territorialities; and how these situations are triggered to claim and
assert the right to property under Article 68 of the FC / 88 of TCPA. First of all, in vestibular
chapter, it discusses the trajectory of the author who is confused with the field and the
situation studied. Therefore, we seek to suspend given knowledge or first experience, to then
submit them to a reflexivity process.A Constituição Federal de 1988 (CF/88) consagrou o direito de propriedade das comunidades remanescentes de quilombo no Brasil. Inaugura-se assim, uma nova forma de propriedade, trazendo um novo olhar jurídico para o conteúdo deste instituto. Anteriormente, a interpretação jurídica voltava-se à afirmação da propriedade privada absoluta, alienável e transferível. O artigo 68 do Ato das Disposições Constitucionais Transitórias (ADCT) da CF/88 institui a propriedade comum. Ao cunhar o conceito de território, leva-se em consideração a trajetória percorrida pelo de grupo social em questão para buscar entender o direito de propriedade e as diferentes formas de se acionar esse direito, ou mesmo, entender a expectativa de direito para cada grupo, para cada comunidade. É este o desafio que se propõe o presente trabalho, tendo como campo de pesquisa o conflito social experimentado pelas comunidades quilombolas de Alcântara no Estado do Maranhão, toma-se como categoria analítica, a autodesignada terra da pobreza. Traça-se um esquema interpretativo incomum, isto é, que não obedece a uma linearidade, tampouco, a uma cronologia de acontecimentos. Preocupa-se em analisar os fatos e acontecimentos relacionados à trajetória das comunidades quilombolas circunscrita à autodesignada terra da pobreza, mantendo o cuidado de estabelecer uma conexão analítica com o objetivo maior da pesquisa, o direito de propriedade. Deste esforço, apresenta-se no presente estudo situações referentes ao conflito social das comunidades de Alcântara em decorrência da implantação da Base Espacial de foguetes em seu território na década de 1890; a construção das territorialidades específicas; e como essas situações são acionadas para reivindicar e afirmar o direito de propriedade nos termos do artigo 68 do ADCT da CF/88. Antes de tudo, em capítulo vestibular, problematiza-se a própria trajetória do autor que se confunde com o campo e a situação estudada. Para tanto procura-se suspender o conhecimento dado ou a experiência primeira, para em seguida submetê-los a um processo de reflexividade
