    Radial artery forearm free-flap (RAFFF) phalloplasty is considered by most authors as the gold-standard technique for genital gender-affirming surgery (GGAS). RAFFF surgical complications have rarely been investigated, and the aim of this study and literature review is to analyse and focus on the surgical technique and its postoperative vascular complications. From May 2016 to January 2020, a consecutive series of 25 transgender men who underwent GGAS were enrolled in the present study. Age, BMI and smoking habits were recorded for all patients. Overall, vascular flap complications occurred in 20% of cases. Complete flap loss due to acute arterial thrombosis was recorded in a single case (4%). In 8% of cases, limited ventro-proximal arterial ischaemia was detected, while in the remaining 8% of cases, venous ventral ischaemia was reported. These results were compared with the current literature results. Indeed, from our analysis, the number of flap veins (<2) was the only predictive factor for vascular complications. In conclusion, RAFFF represents a reliable option for total phallic construction, leading to satisfactory results in terms of flap survival. To optimize the surgical outcomes, venous vascular drainage should be recommended

    Security, immigration and development assistance: an integrated approach

    No full text
    The European Union’s security and immigration policy requires a set of actions coordinated between the Union and individual Member States, plus a consistent policy of development cooperation within the frame work of European Neightbourhood Policy (ENP). This article takes a look at the European approach in these policy areas. After considering the economic and social causes of international migration, it dwells on the prospective “migratory pressure” on Europe, which is expected to be strong, especially from the southern shores of the Mediterranean. The authors stress the essential role of European Neightbourhood Policy, which must promote development and democracy in the countries bordering on the Union. It is necessary to create an area of stability and security within which to achieve negotiated regulation of migratory flows. It is argued that the financial resources for ENP are inadequate and that a decisive role will be played by bilateral aid to the bordering countries from EU member States. Nevertheless, the author observe that these resources are subject to the budgetary constraints of the Stability and Growth Pact and accordingly recommend that the development assistance should also be treated as investment in stability and security, the benefits of which will be reflected in diminished future costs for individual European countries. The authors therefore call for the application of the “golden rule” to this expenditure, treating it on a par with investment and R&D spending for purpose of calculating government deficits

    A pesquisa investiga possibilidades de Educação Ambiental Urbana tendo como objeto de estudo as percepções e as vivências ambientais de estudantes do ensino fundamental da rede pública de Ouro Preto/MG. Diante desse desafio, pautamos nosso trabalho na perspectiva dos diferentes modos de existir e de ser dos sujeitos em seu território, apresentadas na abordagem da Educação Ambiental desde el Sur, bem como nas produções autorais resultado de problematizações desenvolvidas por investigadores da sociobiodiversidade enquanto conteúdo escolar. Considerando que a construção histórica de Ouro Preto também se fez nas relações sociais e ocupação territorial ao longo do tempo, ponderamos que é preciso ver e sentir Ouro Preto para além do Centro Histórico, Patrimônio Mundial da Humanidade. A pesquisa apresentará uma abordagem qualitativa e envolverá a análise textual discursiva. Por meio da oficina e das bionarrativas produzidas pretende-se compreender o contexto dos sujeitos da pesquisa, ou seja, a relação dos estudantes com o território, buscando compreender as construções ideológicas, políticas, culturais, sociais que estão presentes no conteúdo das bionarrativas. Acreditamos que atividades de educação ambiental pautadas na percepção dos estudantes e voltadas para o território podem favorecer a ampliação das experiências, das concepções e consequentemente da percepção ambiental dos sujeitos participantes da pesquisa.This research investigates possibilities of Environmental Urban Education, focusing on, as an object of study, the student’s environmental perceptions and experiences, from primary public school in Ouro Preto/MG. In the face of this challenge, we are guided by the perspective of different ways of existing and being in the territory, presented by the Environmental Education desde el Sur approach, as well as by the author productions, resulting from developed problematizations by socio biodiversity investigators while school content. Considering Ouro Preto’s historical construction is also made in social relationships and territorial occupation throughout time, we weighed that Ouro Preto must be seen and felt beyond the Historic Center, Heritage of Humanity Site. This study will show a qualitative approach and will involve discourse textual analysis. Through the workshop and the bionarratives produced, we hope to comprehend the context of the research subjects, which is the relationship between the students and the territory, looking for the ideological, political, cultural, social constructs included in the content of the bionarratives. We believe that activities of environmental education based on the students’ perception and focused on the territory may favor the experiences, conceptions and, consequently, environmental perception of the subjects participating in the research

    Este artigo apresenta parte das considerações levantadas pela autora no&nbsp;desenvolvimento de sua dissertação de mestrado no Programa de Mestrado&nbsp;Profissional em Preservação do Patrimônio Cultural do Instituto do&nbsp;Patrimônio Histórico e Artísitico Nacional (Iphan), cujo estudo teve como&nbsp;foco suas inquietações e observações como historiadora, atuando na área&nbsp;educativa do Escritório Técnico de Ouro Preto, do Iphan. Ouro Preto se&nbsp;transformou num lugar repleto de significados, onde a imagem da “cidade&nbsp;colonial” ficou consolidada. A escolha de apenas parte da cidade reflete&nbsp;numa imagem incompleta, dificultando o reconhecimento e o sentimento&nbsp;de pertencimento por parte dos cidadãos, que percebem uma porção de suacidade sendo tratada como monumento e a outra porção sendo esquecida,&nbsp;desconhecida. As informações levantadas sobre as ações desenvolvidas na&nbsp;década de 1980, em Ouro Preto, se refletem nas ações hoje desenvolvidas&nbsp;pela Casa do Patrimônio de Ouro Preto e serão o foco das questões e reflexões levantadas nesse trabalho, pois acreditamos que as cidades podem&nbsp;ser vividas como um bem cultural centrando nossas atenções nas relações&nbsp;sociais e afetivas criadas em torno delas.This paper presents part of the considerations raised by the author while&nbsp;developing her Master dissertation on the Professional Masters Degree in&nbsp;Cultural Heritage Conservation at Preservação do Patrimônio Culturaldo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artísitico Nacional (Iphan), whose&nbsp;study focused on her concerns and observations as a historian, working as&nbsp;an educator at the Technical Office of Iphan in Ouro Preto. This town has&nbsp;become a locus where meaning abounds and the image of the “colonial town”&nbsp;is entrenched. The choice of using only part of the town reflects an incomplete&nbsp;image, hindering locals to experience recognition and belonging, as they&nbsp;perceive a portion of their town being treated as a historical monument,&nbsp;while another portion remains forgotten, unknown. Information raised on&nbsp;actions developed in the 1980s in Ouro Preto reflect the actions currently&nbsp;implemented by Casa do Patrimônio of Ouro Preto and will be the mainfocus of the questions and thoughts brought about in this research. It is believed here that towns can be experienced as cultural goods when attentions&nbsp;are turned to the social and affective relations created around such places

    Programa de Pós-Graduação em Turismo e Patrimônio. Departamento de Turismo, Escola de Direito, Turismo e Museologia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.O carnaval de Ouro Preto é um dos eventos mais populares que existe na região de Minas Gerais, no entanto, enquanto promove alegria e cultura, o evento também expõe uma faceta invisibilizada da violência de gênero: o assédio sexual. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender como o assédio sexual afeta as mulheres durante o carnaval de Ouro Preto, investigando de que forma essas experiências impactam suas vidas e como elas lidam com a situação. A pesquisa dá continuidade a um estudo anterior da autora e busca aprofundar a análise das representações sociais de gênero, dos impactos emocionais e sociais sofridos pelas mulheres e das estratégias de enfrentamento por elas adotadas. A metodologia combinou revisão bibliográfica, análise de dados oficiais de segurança pública e uma abordagem qualitativa autoetnográfica, na qual a vivência da pesquisadora serve como fio condutor, contextualizada por relatos anônimos que ilustram a experiência coletiva. Conclui-se que o assédio sexual em Ouro Preto tem efeitos profundos na vivência das mulheres, comprometendo sua liberdade e bem-estar. A análise revela que as mulheres desenvolvem estratégias de autoproteção e criam redes de apoio como forma de resistência diante da ineficácia das respostas institucionais e de uma cultura de silenciamento. Identificou-se também uma disparidade significativa entre as experiências vividas e os registros oficiais, apontando para uma subnotificação sistemática. Os resultados reforçam a urgência de políticas públicas mais eficazes, canais de denúncia acessíveis e ações educativas para combater o assédio em contextos festivos. Espera-se que esta pesquisa contribua para a criação de ambientes mais seguros para todas.Ouro Preto Carnival is one of the most popular events in the Minas Gerais region. However, while it promotes joy and culture, it also exposes an often-invisible facet of gender-based violence: sexual harassment. This study aims to understand how sexual harassment affects women during Ouro Preto Carnival, investigating how these experiences impact their lives and how they cope. The research builds on a previous study by the author and seeks to deepen the analysis of social representations of gender, the emotional and social impacts women suffer, and the coping strategies they adopt. The methodology combined a literature review, analysis of official public safety data, and a qualitative autoethnographic approach, in which the researcher's own experience serves as a guiding thread, contextualized by anonymous accounts that illustrate the collective experience. The conclusion is that sexual harassment in Ouro Preto has profound effects on women's lives, compromising their freedom and well-being. The analysis reveals that women develop self-protection strategies and create support networks as a form of resistance to the ineffectiveness of institutional responses and a culture of silencing. A significant disparity was also identified between lived experiences and official records, pointing to systematic underreporting. The results reinforce the urgent need for more effective public policies, accessible reporting channels, and educational initiatives to combat harassment in festive settings. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the creation of safer environments for all
