O chamado "infanticídio indígena" é uma expressão sustentada no Brasil por atores vinculados a setores evangélicos e conservadores. Esta expressão foi lançada por esses sujeitos ao campo da política institucional. Assim, deputados, senadores e ministros defendem que o "infanticídio" se refere a uma prática corrente e indiscriminada existente entre povos indígenas no Brasil. De acordo com essa perspectiva, o "infanticídio" atenta contra o direito à vida – pilar dos Direitos Humanos – e deve ser amplamente coibido pelo Estado. O Projeto de Lei da Câmara (PLC) nº 119/2015, que trata sobre a existência e a erradicação do "infanticídio indígena", se revela nesse contexto como uma ferramenta política de controle sobre os corpos de mulheres e crianças indígenas, uma vez que legitima a retirada de crianças de seus contextos de origem sob a justificativa da vulnerabilidade e do risco de morte intencional. Este artigo discute o chamado "infanticídio indígena" e apresenta ao leitor o conjunto de atores responsáveis pela criação e sustentação do movimento que prevê o seu combate. Seus principais objetivos são explicitar as relações entre religião e política existentes no movimento e refletir sobre os modos como ele se desdobra em uma tecnologia de controle de corpos por parte do Estado.

Este artigo analisa as medidas de exceção instauradas pelo poder executivo dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA), após os ataques terroristas perpetrados em Nova York e Washington no dia 11 de setembro de 2001. Tais reações governamentais culminaram em um estado de emergência permanente no país, devido à sua irrevogabilidade desde então. À luz da perspectiva da securitização e da teoria do estado de exceção, analisamos as implicações dos principais decretos de emergência instaurados no país ao longo das duas últimas décadas para as políticas de vigilância em massa e determinados grupos sociais. Observa-se, sobretudo, a perpetuação da legislação excepcional, ao pressupor maior autonomia estatal e menor restrição de regras na arena política, sob a lógica de salvaguarda da segurança nacional em detrimento das liberdades civis.Palavras-chave: Estado de exceção. 11/09.

Those governamental reactions culminated in a permanent state of exception in the country, for being irrevocable since then. In the light of the securitization theory and the theory of state of exception we analyse the implications of the main emergency decrees established in the country in the last two decades for the mass surveillance politics and some social groups. It's observed especially the perpetuation of exceptional legislation in the next government, for presuppose greater autonomy from the State and less restriction of rules in the political field, under the logic of protection of national security at the expense of civil liberties.Keywords: State of Exception. 9/11.

The main objective of this investigation was to study the effect of organizational competency development practices on turnover intentions and whether affective commitment explains this relationship. Another of the study's objectives was to test whether these relationships vary according to the generation to which the participant belongs. The study sample consisted of 2123 participants working in Portuguese organizations. The results indicate that organizational competency development practices (training, individualized support, and functional rotation) negatively and significantly affect turnover intentions and that affective commitment mediates this relationship. However, these relationships vary according to the participant's generation. For Generation Y and Generation X, this mediating effect is found in all dimensions of organizational competency development practices. For the baby boomer generation, there is only a mediating effect of affective commitment in the relationship between individualized support and turnover intentions. These results indicate that human resources should consider the generation to which the participant belongs when implementing competency development practices.

The main objective of this study was to study the effect of occupational stress on turnover intentions, as well as determine whether this relationship is mediated by burnout levels and moderated by motivation. The sample size of this study consisted of 603 participants, all employees of the Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority, which is part of the Ministry of Finance and belongs to the Direct State Administration. The results indicate that occupational stress (with managers, career and pay, and overwork) has a positive and significant effect on turnover intentions and that this relationship is mediated by burnout. Motivation (intrinsic and identified) has a negative and significant effect on turnover intentions. Intrinsic motivation moderates the relationship between occupational stress (with managers, colleagues, career and pay, and family problems) and turnover intentions. These results indicate that among the dimensions of occupational stress, the most critical are the stress caused by managers, work overload, and career and pay. These are factors that the Direct State Administration should be concerned with to reduce employees' stress levels, as well as their turnover intentions.

This research aimed to study the effect of leadership (transformational and transactional) on turnover intentions and whether this relationship is mediated by organisational commitment and moderated by the department of activity. To this end, it was hypothesized that: (1) leadership has a negative and significant association with turnover intentions; (2) leadership has a positive and significant association with affective organisational commitment; (3) organisational commitment has a negative and significant association with turnover intentions; (4) organisational commitment has a mediating effect on the relationship between leadership and turnover intentions; (5) the department to which the employee belongs has a moderating effect on the relationship between leadership and organisational turnover intentions. The sample consists of 477 participants working at the Hospital Professor Doutor Fernando Fonseca (HFF) in Portugal, performing their functions in several departments. This is a quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional study. The results indicate that transformational leadership has a negative and significant effect on turnover intentions and a positive and significant effect on affective and normative commitment. Transactional leadership negatively and significantly affects all three components of organisational commitment. Affective and normative commitment has a negative and significant effect on turnover intentions. Calculative commitment has a positive and significant effect on turnover intentions. Affective commitment and calculative commitment have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between transformational leadership and organisational turnover intentions. The department to which the employee belongs does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between leadership and turnover intentions. It has been proven that leadership plays an extremely important role in the smooth running of this hospital unit.

The relations between the media, politics, the legal system and the phenomenon of corruption are complex and gives rise to various types of time and temporality. In empirical terms, this text addresses a study conducted with journalists who have followed cases of corruption involving politicians. The importance of time in the constitution of relations between media, politics and the legal system is discussed. The analysis highlights some of the main characteristics of the time in the media labour. Additionally, it debates the way in which time configures the relations of power that are established between the different systems and actors.
