Adrenal Disorders and the Paediatric Brain: Pathophysiological Considerations and Clinical Implications by Vincenzo Salpietro, Agata Polizzi, Gabriella Di Rosa, Anna Claudia Romeo, Valeria Dipasquale, Paolo Morabito, Valeria Chirico, Teresa Arrigo, Martino Ruggieri

“…The development and maturation of the central nervous system (CNS) through childhood is tightly regulated by intrinsic, paracrine, endocrine, and external modulators, and perturbations in any of these factors, including those related to adrenal hormone imbalance, could result in consequences that affect the structure and function of the paediatric brain. Animal experiments and clinical studies demonstrated that the developing (i.e., paediatric) CNS seems to be particularly vulnerable to alterations induced by adrenal disorders and/or supraphysiological doses of corticosteroids. …”

Deixadas para morrer: sobre búfalas, desinformação e especismo estrutural by Fabio Alves Gomes de Oliveira, Érica Quadros do Amaral

“…Como metodologia, adotamos a revisão bibliográfica, correlacionando o arcabouço teórico dos saberes da Ciência da Informação, Estudos Críticos Animalistas, Ecofeminismos e análise do mencionado caso paradigmático por meio de relatos divulgados pela mídia para apuração da complexa trama que chamamos de “paradoxo da opressão”, envolvendo o movimento de ativismo em defesa da causa animal, a mídia e o agronegócio. Nossas considerações finais nos direcionam ao entendimento do especismo estrutural como um problema de ordem informacional por ser produto de estratégias de desinformação e desempenhar o papel de provimento do senso comum, produção de ignorância e manutenção de estruturas de poder que asseguram sua própria existência como um modo de opressão que impacta animais não humanos e humanos…”
