The general objective was to analyze the profile of these cases, while the specific objectives were to understand the procedural characteristics of lawsuits alleging medical malpractice in pediatric patients aged 0 to 9 years and 11 months, tried in civil courts of second instance, to characterize the medical-clinical profile of the cases, and to analyze changes in the profiles over the pre-COVID (2016–2019), Covid (2020–2021), and post-Covid (2022–2024) periods, classified according to the year of judgment. This is an observational, retrospective, and analytical study based on the documentary analysis of 524 civil judgments, using emerging procedural and care variables, including municipality of origin, processing time, type of claim, emergency relief, alleged damages, appeals, defendant, sentence, type of fault, causal link, compensation ranges, retirement, age group, clinical condition, outcome, and technical-care context, submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The results showed that all lawsuits were individual, with a significant geographical concentration in the state capital, and that the Unified Health System was the defendant in approximately 70% of the lawsuits, reflecting the structural role of the public sector in pediatric care. There was a predominance of newborns and infants, who accounted for 81.7% of cases, with emphasis on perinatal conditions, especially neonatal asphyxia, in addition to sepsis, cerebral palsy, and pneumonia, constituting a profile of high clinical severity. In terms of decisions, 74.6% of the lawsuits resulted in a ruling in favor of the victim, reinforcing the centrality of the causal link and expert evidence in medical civil liability. The temporal analysis showed a significant increase in the duration of the proceedings in the post-COVID period, while most clinical and procedural variables remained stable between the periods, with more specific changes in the distribution of clinical outcomes. It is concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic did not substantially alter the clinical profile or the decision-making logic of the judicialization of alleged pediatric medical errors.

The confrontation involves, on one side, the Federal Government and its management of the political, institutional, and health crises, and, in opposition, Brazilian civil society, scientific institutions, government agencies, Brazilian and foreign media, the WHO, and UNESCO. The study analyzes the political-economic and ideological motivations, the communication tools and strategies used by the Federal Government and far-right groups during the pandemic, as well as the actions and reactions of Brazilian society. Brazil was the country with the second highest number of deaths during the pandemic, and the period was marked by intense contention over how society should behave, which involved practically the entire population, the Federal Government, the Legislative, the Judiciary, institutions, and civil society leaders who were the protagonists in guidelines, decrees, manifestos, demonstrations, and judicial decisions. For the research, a database with 2,724 events was organized, compiled from the daily news of the Ministry of Health during the pandemic period, with data from the investigation of the Center for Studies and Research in Health Law at USP, with articles published in corporate (traditional) media and independent media, and on the websites of the aforementioned protagonists. This study builds on the CEPEDISA/USP document, and researches, analyzes, and demonstrates the intense action and reaction of Brazilian society against the policy of Jair Bolsonaro's government; its strength in contesting the guidelines for the population by opposing and denouncing the then President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, among other aspects investigated, examined, and analyzed in this research Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese 2024-05-29T00:00:00Z http://www.bdtd.uerj.br/handle/1/25547 Título: Redes de Cuidado Digital: Uma etnografia multimodal das respostas da sociedade civil à violência de gênero facilitada pela tecnologia entre Brasil, Espanha e Itália Autor: Campaioli, Giulia Primeiro orientador: Ortega, Francisco Abstract: Technology-facilitated gender-related violence (TFGRV) is an umbrella term for those forms of gender-based violence mediated by Information and Communication Technologies. In the past twenty years, TFGRV has increasingly affected women and gender- and sexual-non-conforming people, perpetuating and extending existing gender-based violence in intimate relationships and public spaces. Recognizing the urgency but also the complexity of the phenomenon of TFGRV, this research mobilizes multimodal feminist anthropology, grounded in feminist ethics of care and a transformative, participant-centred approach, to examine civil society responses to TFGRV between Brazil, Spain and Italy. The thematic analysis and contextual comparison highlight the centrality of intersectional perspectives and the online–offline continuum of violence. Networks of digital care emerged from the need of an approach to digital safety that is holistic and based on feminist ethics of care. Digital care in the Brazilian context draws from transfeminist, intersectional and black and indigenous women’s knowledge, practices, and politics of care. I argue that digital care encompasses knowledge production, communication, support, education, network building, funding models, and autonomous infrastructures. Overall, the field of digital care contributes not only to create a safer internet but invites us to think about the materiality and (infra)structural inequalities embedded in digital technologies, drawing from care in the political sense Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese 2025-07-14T00:00:00Z http://www.bdtd.uerj.br/handle/1/25525 Título: Tornar-se médica e ser mãe: uma análise sobre as experiências de maternidade entre estudantes de Medicina de uma faculdade privada no Rio de Janeiro Autor: Santos, Paula Colodetti Primeiro orientador: Lowenkron, Laura Abstract: This thesis sought to investigate the experiences of 18 undergraduate medical students in Brazil, aged between 25 and 45 years, who combined motherhood with academic training and, in some cases, with paid work. The interlocutors of this research are mostly white women enrolled in private institutions, which is consistent with data from Medical Demography in Brazil (2025), indicating the predominance of this profile among medical students. In this sense, the study aimed to analyze the experiences of these students by considering the interrelationship between gender and the specificities of medical training, as well as intersections with race, class, type of marital relationship, characteristics of dependents, and the sociopolitical and economic arrangements that shape ideals of motherhood and care. The results revealed that personal characteristics, age, and the presence of a support network (including partner support) directly affected these students’ mental health. Institutional support proved to be essential for these students to feel supported in completing this challenging journey Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese 2025-12-17T00:00:00Z
