The Case of the Case: The Writing and Application of the Method

Este caso objetiva promover uma reflexao sobre o processo de escrita de casos para ensino e direcionamentos para aplicação do método. Em 2020, João Luiz Marinho, doutorando em Administração na Universidade do Aprendizado (UNIAPRE), foi desafiado pelo professor Fernando a escrever o seu primeiro caso para ensino para aplicação na disciplina de Estratégias Organizacionais, da qual era estagiário em docencia. Porém, muitos questionamentos sobre a construção e aplicação de casos para ensino sondavam os pensamentos de João, uma vez que este nao tinha experiencias anteriores com o método, possuía pouca prática na docencia e a migração das aulas para a modalidade on-line era novidade. Assim, a proposta foi fazer com que os alunos se colocassem no lugar de João, a fim de propiciar um debate sobre a escrita e aplicação de um caso para ensino na modalidade on-line. Sugere-se sua aplicação nos cursos de pos-graduaçâo lato sensu e stricto sensu em Administração, nas disciplinas de Metodologia e Casos para Ensino.Alternate :This case aims to promote a reflection on the teaching case writing process and directions for applying the method. In 2020, João Luiz Marinho, a doctoral candidate in Administration at the University of Learning (UNIAPRE), was challenged by Professor Fernando to write his first teaching case for application in the Organizational Strategies discipline, of which he was an intern in teaching. However, many questions about the construction and application of teaching cases probed João's thoughts, since he had no previous experience with the method, he had little practice in teaching, and the migration of classes to the online mode was very new. Thus, the proposal is to make students put themselves in João's place, in order to provide a debate on the writing and application of a case for online teaching. It is suggested that it be applied in lato sensu and stricto sensu graduate courses in Administration in the disciplines of Methodology and Teaching Cases.

Global Communications Newsletter Conferenc Report

From November 30 to December 02 2022, the IEEE Latin-American Conference on Communications (LATINCOM) returned to Brazil for its fourteenth edition. LATINCOM was held in the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro, which had the privilege to offer attendees all its fantastic beauties comprising landscapes with a series of green mountains cascading down to the coast. LATINCOM's journey to Rio de Janeiro started in Medellín, Colombia, in 2009, Bogotá, also in Colombia, in 2010. It first appeared in Brazil, Belém, in 2011. Then it moved to Cuenca, Ecuador, in 2012, Santiago, Chile, in 2013, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in 2014, Arequipa, Peru, in 2015, Medellin, Colombia, in 2016, Guatemala City, Guatemala, in 2017, and Guadalajara, Mexico, in 2018. LATINCOM was held for a second time in Brazil, in Salvador, 2019. The conference was forced to go online in 2019, hybrid in 2021, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and then finally returning to the face-to-face format in 2022, in Rio de Janeiro. This brought to the 14th edition a remarkable characteristic, as it represented the return to in-presence conferences after the Covid-19 outbreak. LATIN-COM is held annually and attracts submissions and participants from around the globe. In 2022, the program was organized in three intensive days, including four keynote speeches, four tutorials, two workshops, and 16 technical sessions.

Introduction: A Call to Engage with Denial

Cruz was appointed as head of the General Directorate of Public Health in 1903, at a time when yellow fever had killed a thousand people in the city of Rio de Janeiro alone the previous year. The newspaper printed a portrait of a man suffering from a grisly tumor in late October 1904 and claimed that vaccines caused his ailment.8 The newspaper explained that vaccines were the, "monster that pollutes the pure and innocent blood of our children with the vile excretions expelled from sick animals, of a nature that contaminates the system of any living being. "9 This newspaper article argued that it was providing the public with the "information" it needed to evaluate the government's mandates.10 It is an example of coordinated efforts to spread mis/disinformation by the press as part of the effort to create a public campaign against Alves' public health policy. Uprisings, which were also taking place in the industrial workers' neighborhoods and the Afro-Brazilian districts with fierce hand-to-hand combat, were eventually put down and citizens were pressured to retreat by the army advancing by land and the threat of bombardment by the navy docked just offshore.11 The state used repressive measures (imprisonment, beatings, interrogation, and internal exile) and put the instigators, including Senator Lauro Sodré and military officers, on trial following the uprising.12 The government declared a "state of siege" and the uprising was controlled in three days.13 However, although the government had survived the assault, the Alves administration was forced to abandon its vaccine mandate and smallpox continued to plague the country for several more years, slowing plans to modernize.

Building emotional-political communities to address gendered violence against women and girls during COVID-19 in the favelas of Maré, Rio de Janeiro

Although the intensification of direct and indirect gendered violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic has been extensively reported globally, there is limited research on women's responses to it. Addressing calls to explore the relationships between emotional-affective atmospheres and politics during the pandemic as well as to centre analyses of gendered violence within geography, this paper explores how women in the favelas of Maré, in Rio de Janeiro have developed mutual support, (self)-care and activism in the face of the crisis. Engaging with nascent debates on responses to COVID-19, together with feminist geographical work on resistance to gendered violence, the article adapts the notion of ‘emotional communities' developed by Colombian anthropologist, Myriam Jimeno, to examine how emotional bonds created among survivors of violence are reconfigured into political action. Drawing on qualitative research with 32 women residents and 9 community actors involved in two core community initiatives in Maré, the paper develops the idea of building reactive and transformative ‘emotional-political communities' at individual and collective levels to mitigate gendered violence and wider intersectional structural violence. Emotional-political community building is premised on grassroots activism among women and organisations that develops as part of compassionate (self)-care and the quiet rather than spectacular politics of change.

COVID-19 Pandemical Period: Issues and Strategies to Make Sustainable Socialization and Recreation for Elderly People in Long-Term Care Institutions

The usual lives have been changed since the COVID-19 Outbreak took place. Elderly people suffer as much as others and their lives have been impacted a lot. This paper aims to analyze the social network use and the recreation and socialization activity participation before and after the COVID-19 pandemical appearance in long-term care institutions. In the empirical side of this research, the authors of this paper sent an email questionnaire to long-term care institutions located in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. In the theoretical side of this research, an investigation was carried out through the scientific databases. Data were analyzed using the programming languages Python, Excel, and IBM SPSS Statistics. As a result, this paper shows an apparent increase in social network use and a drop in recreation and socialization activity participation after the COVID-19 pandemical appearance in long-term care institutions. The presented findings are the first step, which can be part of future studies analyzing the potential growth in social network use among elderly people by comparing elderly residents with non-residents in the long-term care institutions.

Paradigmas da gestão de imunizantes: o uso de métodos quantitativos como suporte à decisão em tempos de Covid-19 no estado do Rio de Janeiro

O Estado do Rio de Janeiro chegou a ser considerado o de maior taxa de letalidade, com uma morte a cada 20 infectados pelo "novo vírus”, segundo boletins do Ministério da Saúde (BRASIL, 2021). A primeira fase da campanha de vacinação contra a doença no estado contou com apenas 488.320 doses do imunizante. Diante da escassez de recursos, os gestores públicos tiveram o desafio de priorizar a distribuição das vacinas entre faixas etárias visando minimizar os impactos da mortalidade. Com isso, tornar-se imperativo identificar a que faixa etária deveria ter sido priorizada a oferta inicial da vacina no estado do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo da pesquisa é subsidiar com informações os problemas encontrados pela administração pública quanto a gestão de imunizantes. A área de estudo é o estado do Rio de Janeiro, onde foram utilizados dados dos principais sítios de observatórios epidemiológicos do estado do Rio de Janeiro no início da pandemia de covid-19, utilizando técnicas estatísticas como descrição tabular e paramétrica, medidas de tendência central, porcentagens, além do método de interpolação linear para calcular a estimativa populacional por idade. A distribuição do primeiro lote das vacinas foi simulada de modo proporcional nas respectivas faixas etárias. As variáveis de estudo foram vidas salvas e anos salvos, sendo realizadas simulações de 81 cenários e distribuindo as vacinas dentre as 10 possíveis faixas etárias. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que ao concentrar a aplicação de vacinas disponíveis na população mais idosa, obtém-se maior quantidade de vidas salvas, independente da eficácia do imunizante. Quanto a variável anos salvos, percebe-se que a faixa populacional de 70 a 79 anos é a que apresenta resultado superior em relação às demais faixas etárias. Sugere-se a realização de estudos que procurem estimar de forma empírica a eficácia contra morte das vacinas disponíveis, em função a existência de uma base de dados cada vez mais robusta.

Addressing Multilateralism in Interregional Forums: Evidence from the Dialogue between the European Union and Latin America 1

The emergence of economic, political, social, and health crises brings to light the fact that, in a globalised world, isolated state responses are insufficient to face upcoming international challenges. Cooperative action, not only between states but also between regions, has become crucial. A salient case is the relationship between the European Union and Latin America. This biregional partnership is characterised by its foundation on common values inherited from a shared historical background. These values are closely related to a liberal standpoint that promotes multilateral cooperation as a way to find solutions to global issues. By studying this case, this paper aims to understand how interregional dialogue can become a driver of multilateralism and how it might reflect a political will to foster multilateral agreements. The expected result is a complex assessment of the EU - Latin American interregional dialogue examining how the official speech on multilateralism has evolved over the years and identifying whether multilateralism is a priority in the biregional agenda.

The Stockholm Moment

[...]he pleaded before the delegations of the UN member states to "lead us out of this mess". [...]the Stockholm+50 Conference remained a low-key affair for a variety of reasons. The remaining five contributions (Bharat Desai, Chris Blakes, Kirk Junker, Shailesh Nayak and Philippe Cullet) look ahead into the future for prospects of addressing various components of the challenge through the instrumentalities such as the repurposed UN Trusteeship Council as a global supervisory organ, working out the nuts and bolts of the circular economy, a reparative regime for climate-induced migration, finding solution for climate change risk to the wetland ecosystem services and some dimensions of the planetary health challenges.

VOICES OF WOMEN FROM THE FAVELAS

This essay intends to make readers listen to the voices of women from the Maré favela complex located in Rio de Janeiro. We cross-referenced data from "Mapa social do corona", a bulletin produced by Observatório de Favelas with reports on the everyday life of the local population. Using the "quotation mark method", this study records testimonials in which the polyphony of voices reflects the challenges people in the favelas face due to the global crisis generated by Covid-19. Such reports derive from observations of women watching from their windows, women who went out to work every day, female shopkeepers in their small businesses and women who engaged in the fight against hunger by leading campaigns to distribute food baskets, among other actions and events that are considered marginal, but that speak volumes about the dynamics of resistance and existence of the favelas.

A TIDE OF HOPE

Silva examines Redes da Mare's response to the pandemic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In years like 2020 and 2021, when the problems brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic were particularly severe in Brazil, Redes da Mare managed to minimize the impacts on the 16 favelas of the Mare Complex in the northern zone of Rio de Janeiro. Through its "Mare says NO to the Coronavirus" campaign, the institution guaranteed that 69,542 people had the minimum they needed for survival. As early as March 2020, Redes da Mare began to seek inspiration in what was being done in Brazil and especially in other countries to help people who were unable to work to sustain themselves during the period of social isolation. Based on these references and with the necessary support, the organization created a campaign with six lines of action.

Covid-19 no Sistema Socioeducativo do Rio de Janeiro: trabalho essencial e seus paradoxos na socioeducação

Neste texto, analisamos alguns efeitos das decisÐes de manutençao e suspensao de atividades no sistema socioeducativo do Rio de Janeiro (Degase) ao longo de 2020. Por um lado, ao ser considerado essencial, a aproximaçâo do sistema socioeducativo ao sistema penitenciario diminuiu as taxas de superlotaçao nas unidades, a partir da Recomendaçâo n° 62 do CNJ. Por outro lado, linhas de atuaçâo consideradas essenciais no trabalho de socioeducaçao, tais como escolarizaçâo, saúde e convivencia familiar, těm encontrado barreiras para sua plena realizaçao, justamente em decorrencia das limitaçÐes que os protocolos sanitarios estabelecem. Para o desenvolvimento da análise empreendida neste artigo, exploramos normativas estatais pertinentes publicadas durante o ano de 2020 referentes a pandemia de Covid-19 a luz da legislaçao referente as medidas socioeducativas. Além disso, examinamos os materiais oficiais publicados pelo próprio Degase e suas apresentaçÐes em redes sociais, além de dados apresentados por outras instituyes e por fontes de imprensa.Alternate :In this text, we analyze some effects of the decisions to maintain and suspend activities In the juvenile justice system of Rio de Janeiro (Degase) throughout 2020. On the one hand, in order to be considered essential, the approximation of the juvenile justice system system to the prison system reduced overcrowding rates in the units, based on CNJ Recommendation No. 62. On the other hand, lines of action considered essential in work at the juvenile justice system, such as education, health and family life, have encountered barriers to their full realization, precisely because of the limitations that the health protocols establish. For the development of the analysis carried out in this article, we explore relevant state regulations published during the year 2020 regarding the pandemic in the light of the legislation on juvenile justice system measures. In addition, we examine the official materials published by Degase itself and their presentations on social networks, as well as data presented by other institutions and press sources.

The Private Sector as a Partner for SDG 6-Related Issues in Megacities: Opportunities and Challenges in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This article reviews recent studies that address water sustainable management opportunities and challenges in megacities around the world, with an emphasis on the case of Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, one of the two megacities in Brazil. With reference to recent debates on water, megacities, and the climate crisis, as well as UN Water and Global Report Initiative documents, we focused on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All. The new Brazilian sanitation legal framework regulates public–private partnerships. In this context, the manuscript discusses the main question concerning water, sanitation, and hygiene that arises in the Brazilian case study: is universality possible in profit-oriented models? Through the current technical and academic literature consulted, the paper compares initiatives involving multiple stakeholder governance models that depend on private resources to implement universal access to drinking water, sanitation, and water-related extreme event controls, pointing out alternatives that can help to achieve the targets of SDG. Validation by key informants supports the synthesis of the reviewed documents, and the findings illustrate that concerted public efforts together with market mechanisms can help to overcome challenges and surpass the profit-oriented logics of private companies to achieve access to healthy and safe water, adequate sanitation, and improved hygiene, especially for vulnerable populations. This finding has transferability to other megacities in emerging countries that are facing public–private partnership debates on the provision of clean water and sanitation for all.

Economic Effects of Micro- and Mini-Distributed Photovoltaic Generation for the Brazilian Distribution System

The micro- and mini-distributed generation (MMDG) has significantly increased after the normative resolution No. 482/2012 in Brazil;the installed capacity surpassed 7 GW in 2021. In the international context, a similar event was observed, whose process generated a cross-subsidy for other consumers, in addition to other problems that affect the economic balance of concessionaires. To mitigate this issue, the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) is in the process of revising current rules. Thus, this study estimates the weight of this decision, through a methodology adapted from international assessment models, based on information from the Brazilian regulatory system. In order to achieve it, this paper presents metrics to define the potential market MMDG, based on the consumption patterns of consumers. Then, through time series analysis, the MMDG demand curve is estimated under two scenarios up to 2030. Finally, the economic impact on tariff adjustments and revisions, and their effect on the electric power concessionaires are evaluated. In the distribution companies of the Enel Group alone, economic losses are estimated at USD 1.2 billion by 2030;53% of this will be passed on to consumers’ tariffs. Thus, based on international experiences, it can be concluded that the best model is the adequate grid remuneration.

Confronting the gated community: Towards a decolonial critique of violence beyond the paradigm of war

This article investigates the works of Dussel, Maldonado-Torres, and Mbembe as representatives of a tendency in the field of decolonial thought to assume the templates of warfare and the camp as the archetypal registers of violence in the contemporary world. Identifying this focus as the remnant of a Eurocentric vocabulary (the paradigm of war), the article proposes a shift from the language of warfare predominant in the field to a language of welfare. The article turns to the gated community (GC), instead of the camp, and the imperatives of (re)creation, instead of the logics of elimination, as new templates with which to make sense of modern/colonial violence. Moving beyond militaristic imagery, the analysis shows a form of violence that emerges as a response to the endless search for a life of convenience inside the walls of the GC. To this end, the article advances the concept of the dialect of disarrangement, the enforced but uneasy encounter between two subjectivities that inhabit the GC: the patrons (the homeowners who consume the easy life) and servants (the racialised service staff). In the GC, violence emerges in attempts to respond to this (in)convenient encounter via misrepresentations of both patrons and servants as out of their place.
