Sollicités pour expertiser la capacité de travail des demandeurs de prestations de l'assurance invalidité en Suisse, les médecins psychiatres font l'objet de critiques récurrentes. La mise en cause de la qualité de leurs rapports a conduit à ce qui s'apparente à une professionnalisation de l'expertise, dans un contexte où l'invalidité psychique est constituée en problème public et fait l'objet d'une régulation judiciaire croissante. Directement impliqués dans ce processus, les médecins se montrent divisés quant aux façons les plus justes d'expertiser et, plus encore, quant au sens d'une politique qui fragilise les droits sociaux des malades psychiques. Cette contribution prend appui sur l'analyse de leurs écrits et d'un contentieux judiciaire.

Résumé Principales causes d'invalidité reconnues en Suisse, les maladies psychiques et de l'appareil locomoteur font l'objet d'une vigilance politique et judiciaire de plus en plus marquée. À la lumière de ce contexte, on s'attachera dans cet article à discuter une jurisprudence fédérale récente consacrée à deux diagnostics controversés : les troubles somatoformes douloureux et la fibromyalgie. L'analyse de 275 arrêts du tribunal des assurances sociales de Genève servira ici à explorer les promesses et les contraintes du droit pour ceux qui sont concernés par ces règles jurisprudentielles. Nous chercherons en particulier à montrer de quelle façon la régulation judiciaire est au cœur d'une institutionnalisation de la précarisation des droits.

L'engagement dans une vie familiale permet d'accéder à une économie morale des échanges favorable, a priori, à des formes spécifiques de reconnaissance. Témoignages réciproques de trajectoires biographiques et d'aspirations futures, accueils d'une plainte, aveux pudiques d'une faiblesse : ces promesses d'hospitalité faites aux singularités confèrent à l'intimité domestique une place significative dans l'existence des personnes. Mais qui dit promesse dit probabilité : l'intimité domestique connaît aussi ses limites et ses contraintes. Ces insuffisances du monde privé nous rappellent que l'intimité a partie liée au public, à l'accès aux ressources qui permettent d'asseoir une dignité et de partager une intimité sans l'inconfort de l'équivoque.

This paper presents the evolution and most relevant characteristics of binational (Portuguese/ Brazilian) same-sex marriages in Portugal, from 2010 to 2020, comparing them with the binational heterosexual ones. The analysis was based on marriage micro-data published by the National Statistics Office.
Data reveals that the increase of binational marriages has been more significant among samesex couples than among heterosexual couples; binational same-sex couples are younger than heterosexual ones, although they also record lower levels of age-related homogamy, and are more qualified than hetero couples. Hetero binational couples engaged more frequently in cohabitation before marriage and tend to opt for shared estate ownership.
This study enables a diagnosis of the present situation and constitutes a contribution to knowledge surrounding the marriage market within groups that are minorities not only as immigrants but also as homosexuals.

Adopting a socio-historical approach, this article aims to draw attention to the continuities and discontinuities that can be observed in the penal treatment of people categorized as "psychopathic delinquents". The problem posed by their internment in appropriate areas remained a subject of debate throughout the 20th century in Switzerland and was never really resolved. In the Canton of Vaud, one penal farm colony was used for about 50 years to punish and re-educate these individuals through labor. An in-depth examination of the archives allows us to immerse ourselves in the socio-economic life of this institution, to which the inmates contributed fully. After many years of use as a place of correction and assistance, Prés-Neufs became a remand prison in 1983. Thirty years later, plans to create a medico-social establishment on the site were abandoned in favour of Curabilis, a Geneva prison-hospital more in line with the renewed emphasis on security prevailing at the time.

O processo de descentralização e democratização da gestão e da política ambiental pública enfrenta o desafio de garantir a participação da população. Um dos mecanismos de participação popular na condução das questões ambientais é o Conselho Municipal de Meio Ambiente. Apesar do recente crescimento quantitativo desses conselhos no Brasil, muitos autores questionam se esse órgão garante a participação efetiva da sociedade na política ambiental local. Esse artigo busca contribuir para o melhor entendimento da efetividade dos conselhos municipais de meio ambiente ao investigar o grau e a qualidade da participação da população nos Conselhos de Meio Ambiente de cinco municípios da região do Médio Piracicaba/MG. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa baseada em entrevistas estruturadas, revisões documentais, observações diretas e revisões da literatura. Os resultados, de maneira geral, indicam que ainda é baixo o grau de participação da população nos conselhos e que a participação ocorre principalmente para atender interesses individuais.

Para a inclusão de crianças e jovens com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE) no ensino regular foram teorizadas e implementadas práticas com vista a estruturar o Programa Educativo Individual (PEI), adequando-o a cada um, dando respostas à sua singularidade. A implementação do uso da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade (CIF), como referência para a classificação das NEE, surge com o Decreto-Lei n.º 3/2008, de 7 de janeiro e adota um cariz biopsicossocial criado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS, 2004). A sua introdução na educação não tem sido pacífica, sobressaindo o debate entre especialistas e autores que alimentam o esgrimir de argumentos a favor e contra a sua utilização. Analisaremos, assim, a CIF, bem como o seu surgimento, a sua estrutura e as opiniões de alguns especialistas.

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are critical in establishing an environment supporting microbial colonization and immunological tolerance. A large population of CD8+ T cells is in direct and constant contact with the IECs and the intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs). Due to their location, at the interphase of the intestinal lumen and external environment and the host tissues, they seem ideally positioned to balance immune tolerance and protection to preserve the fragile intestinal barrier from invasion as well as immunopathology. IELs are a heterogeneous population, with a large innate-like contribution of unknown specificity, intercalated with antigen-specific tissue-resident memory T cells. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of IEL physiology and how they interact with the IECs and contribute to immune surveillance to preserve intestinal homeostasis and host-microbial relationships. ; Members of the Veldhoen laboratory are supported by European Union H2020 ERA project (N°667824—EXCELLtoINNOV), publication costs were provided by LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-007391, projeto cofinanciado pelo FEDER através POR Lisboa 2020—Programa Operacional Regional de Lisboa, do PORTUGAL 2020, e pela Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
