    Amélia Cohn\'s thought about the Brazilian sanitary reform

    No full text
    A Reforma Sanitária Brasileira (RSB) tem sido bastante estudada pelo campo científico da Saúde Coletiva. Recentemente, novos estudos retomam sua trajetória e, assim, têm estimulado discussões sobre seu futuro. Este trabalho buscou valorizar este tema e o pensamento de uma de suas pesquisadoras e personagens, a socióloga Amélia Cohn. Devido à relevância de suas contribuições teóricas e a inexistência de trabalhos sobre esta autora, o objetivo desta dissertação foi compreender o pensamento de Amélia Cohn sobre a Reforma Sanitária Brasileira, a partir de um conjunto de seus textos, publicados ao longo de 24 anos. Para tanto, elaboraram-se as seguintes temáticas para análise dos quatro textos principais: a \"definição\" construída por Amélia Cohn sobre a RSB, o protagonismo político no interior do movimento da RSB, as características das estratégias políticas do movimento da RSB, os objetivos da RSB e o alcance de suas propostas, a produção de conhecimentos do campo da RSB, e a questão democrática para o campo da RSB. Concluiu-se que a autora buscou analisar esse tema de modo amplo, avaliando diferentes aspectos e priorizando em sua avaliação sobre os rumos da RSB a relação concomitante entre a produção de conhecimentos do campo e suas propostas e ações políticas. Além disso, ela considerou a RSB das décadas de 1960, 1970 e 1980, como a experiência de referência para suas reflexões. Dessa forma, elaborou em 1992 sua tese principal sobre o esgotamento da reforma sanitária e, em 2013, a tese sobre a renúncia do campo a um projeto de saúde para o país. Portanto, entende-se que Amélia Cohn buscou identificar pluralidade teórico-política no movimento e no pensamento da RSB, incluindo-se o campo da Saúde Coletiva, e propôs a autoconfrontação dos projetos do campo em suas análises.The Brazilian Sanitary Reform (BSR) is a common object of research within the Public Health scientific field. Long-lasting questions about its path have been discussed in recent studies, opening doors to think about its future. This study highlights this theme by reflecting on the sociologist Amélia Cohn\'s theoretical contributions upon the BSR. Due to the relevance of her theoretical contributions and the absence of studies about her scholarly works, this dissertation seeks to understand Amélia Cohn\'s thought about the BSR through published works over a 24-year-period. In order to do so, the following themes guide through the analysis of four main readings: Amelia Cohn\'s \'definition\' of the BSR, the political role within the BSR, the characteristics of the political strategies of the RSB movement, the goals of the BSR and the extent of its propositions, the production of knowledge from the BSR field, and the understanding of the democratic question to the BSR field. The author sought to analyze the BSF in a broad spectrum by evaluating its diverse aspects and prioritizing the concomitant relationship between the production of knowledge of the field and its proposals and political actions in order to evaluate the BSR\'s paths. Furthermore, she considered the 60\'s, 70\'s and 80\'s as time reference for her reflections on the development of the BSR. Accordingly, in 1992 she developed her main thesis on the collapse of sanitary reform, and, in 2013, theorized about the resignation of the BSR to a health project for the country. Therefore, Amélia Cohn sought to identify theoretical and political plurality in the movement and thought of the BSR, which includes the field of Public Health. The author has clearly proposed the confrontation between the projects carried out by the field in her analytical frameworks

    Cutaneous malignant melanoma : aspects on recurrence and mortality

    No full text
    The purpose of this thesis was to analyse patterns of recurrence and mortality from cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in relation to clinical development and metastatic pathways. The basis of the study consists of patients with CMM, registered and followed within the Stockholm-Gotland regional melanoma care programme, patients included in a national randomized study on the effects of resection margins on outcome, and individuals registered with malignant melanoma as underlying cause of death in the Swedish Cause-of-Death Registry, 1970-1996.In patients with CMM of >0.8 and The earlier upward mortality trends seem to have levelled off, with no further increase during the last 10-15 years. A slight decrease was seen for females during the period 1987-1996. This apparent change in trend, which appeared more pronounced in the Stockholm-Gotland region, coincided with intensified preventional activities. Estimates of prognosis for different type of recurrences may be of importance in making clinical decisions. The findings in these studies form the basis for future studies correlating molecular biology of recurrent melanoma and patient outcome.List of scientific papersI.

    Indiferencia estructural y democracia señorial: la teoría crítica de Gabriel Cohn

    No full text
    This article discusses the critical theory developed by Brazilian sociologist Gabriel Cohn in the last two decades, based on his concepts of structural indifference and seigneurial democracy. Structural indifference signifies selective operations carried out by complex systems that define what or who is or is not relevant in contemporary capitalism at a global scale. Seigneurial democracy, in turn, refers to the possessive, predatory and punitive nature of orientations of perception and behavior in Brazilian society. This article reconstructs these two notions using different texts by the author. In so doing, it also seeks to highlight the dialogues established by Cohn with the first generation of Frankfurt critical theory – particularly with Theodor Adorno – as well as with Florestan Fernandes, the founder of Brazilian critical sociology. Cross-cutting these two sets of discussions, still in dialogue with Adorno and Fernandes, Cohn proposes an approach for how to assess the past in critical sociology.El artículo discute la teoría crítica desarrollada por el sociólogo brasileño Gabriel Cohn en las últimas dos décadas a partir de sus planteamientos sobre indiferencia estructural y democracia señorial. Indiferencia estructural designa operaciones selectivas realizadas por sistemas complejos que definen qué o quién es relevante o no en el capitalismo contemporáneo en escala global. Democracia señorial, por su parte, se refiere al carácter posesivo, predatorio y punitivo de las orientaciones de la percepción y de la conducta en la sociedad brasileña. El artículo reconstruye estas dos nociones echando mano de distintos textos del autor. Al hacerlo, busca igualmente evidenciar los diálogos entablados por Cohn, de un lado, con la primera generación de la teoría crítica frankfurtiana, particularmente con Theodor Adorno, y, de otro, con Florestan Fernandes, precursor de la sociología crítica brasileña. Trasversalmente a estos dos conjuntos de discusiones, y todavía en diálogo con Adorno y Fernandes, Cohn propone un abordaje respecto a cómo tratar el pasado en la sociología crítica

    Silicate Glasses and Melts, Second Edition describes the structure-property-composition relationships for silicate glasses and melts from a geological and industrial perspective. Updated sections include (i) characterization of silicate melt and COHN fluid structure (with and without dissolved silicate components) with pressure, temperature, and redox conditions and responses of structural variables to chemical composition, (ii) determination of solubility and solution mechanisms of COHN volatiles in silicate melts and minerals and of solubility and solution mechanisms of silicate components in COHN fluids, and (iii) effects of very high pressure on structure and properties of melts and glasses. This new book is an essential resource for researchers in a number of fields, including geology, geophysics, geoscience, volcanology, material science, glass science, petrology and mineralogy.Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, Dec. 4, 2018).Silicate Glasses and Melts, Second Edition describes the structure-property-composition relationships for silicate glasses and melts from a geological and industrial perspective.
