Resumo Objetivo: A crise causada pela pandemia da Covid-19 colocou em questão a efetividade das teorias sobre liderança desenvolvidas até o momento, tendo alguns autores argumentado que há uma crise da prática e da teoria sobre liderança. Em um contexto em que as atividades presenciais foram retomadas, o presente trabalho busca entender como a liderança enfrentou a pandemia e os resultados obtidos para organizações e pessoas. Originalidade/valor: Este trabalho propõe um modelo teórico que avança na literatura sobre liderança em eventos extremos, expandindo o modelo de Hannah et al. (2009), na medida em que contempla contexto e evento extremos de longa duração, global e em que não pôde haver preparação prévia, o que não havia sido estudado até o momento. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Trata-se de um trabalho teórico que, com base no modelo de Hannah et al. (2009) sobre a liderança em eventos extremos e na publicação de artigos empíricos sobre a liderança na pandemia de março de 2020 a dezembro de 2022, propõe um modelo para a liderança em contextos extremos. Resultados: Diversos estilos de liderança foram adotados na pandemia, mas quase todos convergiram para o papel de atenuar os efeitos da pandemia nos trabalhadores, especialmente no que diz respeito aos aspectos emocionais e psicológicos, tão impactados pelo grau de ameaça da pandemia. A liderança também pode ser um estressor quando não estabelece comunicação clara e transparente e quando prioriza as necessidades do negócio e não as pessoas.

This paper discusses the perceptions that six English language teachers, from public schools in the south region of the state of Veracruz in Mexico, have about their particular teaching contexts. A qualitative approach was adopted, and main data collection was through semi-structured interviews. The results show that all teachers have mostly negative perceptions about their teaching conditions. It was concluded that urgent action is needed on the part of the government to improve the English as a foreign language scenario, especially now when the introduction of English as a foreign language has been proposed at even earlier ages in all levels of education in the country. ; Esta investigación describe las percepciones que tienen seis maestros de inglés de escuelas públicas de la región sur del estado de Veracruz en México acerca de sus propios contextos de enseñanza. Se decidió adoptar un enfoque cualitativo y entrevistas semi estructuradas para la recolección de los datos. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de las percepciones que los maestros tienen son negativas y se concluyó que las autoridades deben tomar medidas urgentes para mejorar el panorama de la enseñanza del inglés especialmente ahora que se ha propuesto que el inglés sea obligatorio en todos los niveles de educación básica en el país.

Neste artigo, apresentam-se os resultados parciais de pesquisa sobre a oferta de educação profissional indígena pelo Centro Indígena de Formação e Cultura da Raposa Serra do Sol – CIFCRSS. Discute-se a proposta pedagógica do curso de ensino médio indígena integrado ao Curso Técnico em Agropecuária e Gestão e Manejo Ambiental, identificando os princípios pedagógicos previstos para a formação de técnicos que irão assumir a gestão de projetos nas comunidades indígenas. Seguem-se os procedimentos da pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa. A fim de validar a análise documental,realizam-se entrevistas semi estruturadas com quatro membros da Comissão de Coordenação. Os resultados evidenciam que o currículo encontra-se alicerçado nas conquistas advindas das lutas sociais dos povos indígenas, articulando a comunicação entre alunos com culturas diferentes e promovendo a socialização de conhecimentos.

The editors draw on a 3-year project that analyzed a Portuguese area in detail, comparing this study with papers from other regions. Applications include the estimation of technical efficiency in agricultural grazing systems (dairy, beef and mixed) and specifically for dairy farms. The conclusions indicate that it is now necessary to help small dairy farms in order to make them more efficient. These results can be compared with the technical efficiency of a sample of Spanish dairy processing firms presented by Magdalena Kapelko and co-authors.

The Brazilian Armed Forces have had a prominent role in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We take this participation as an entry point to confront traditional assumptions of studies on civil-military relations and militarization, investigating a particular claim used to justify the mobilization of the Brazilian military in health-related activities: their credentials in a managerial expertise in logistics. In doing so, we argue that there is an ongoing re-articulation in the discursive regime used to justify their expansion of roles—not one anchored on the efficiency in the use of violence associated with a "war ethos" specific to the military professional, but another, grounded on a managerial expertise to efficiently procure, manage and distribute resources across the national territory, especially in contexts of "crisis." We claim that the historical transformation of such discourse is a particular expression of global processes that have historically vested "managerial expertise" with political authority to solve social problems in critical situations. We also contend that this managerial dimension has been largely neglected in the critique of militarization articulated in traditional and contemporary civil–military relations studies. In light of these processes, this article seeks to contribute to critical work regarding the conditions for and effects of the expansion of military roles under the regime of justification here analyzed, thereby stimulating us to rethink the assumptions upon which militarization can be problematized in the contemporary period.

Fishing resources, as well as fishing activities and policies, are in a state of permanent change, therefore transforming the living and working conditions of coastal and fishing populations. The gender perspective is relevant to understand the challenges faced by men and women in the fishing sector. Galicia (Spain) is one of the main fishing regions in the EU and with the largest number of women working in the fishing sector, especially in shellfishing on foot. Shellfishing on foot, an artisanal and traditional activity for the cultivation and extraction of mainly bivalve molluscs, represents 7% of gross value added (GVA) and 17% of the employment of the Galician fishing sector as a whole. Since the 1960s, a process of regulation and modernization of shellfishing on foot—more than 95% of which is carried out by women—has led to a sharp decrease in the number of shellfish gatherers. The regulatory processes and the professionalization of the sector have resulted in a strong decline in female employment, but, at the same time, women feel empowered and regard their jobs as dignified work. Our objective—through the analysis of the local permits granted to carry out this activity—focuses on the study of the consolidation of this process and has tried to highlight the ways in which patriarchy perpetuates the hegemonic position of men evidenced, for example, by a progressive masculinization of this activity with increasing economic profitability and social prestige.

Abstract Autonomy-connectedness refers to the need and ability the individual has for self-governance, as well as the capacity for intimacy and interpersonal relationships. The present study aimed to examine and compare participants (N=121) of four different cultural
groups, namely Portuguese natives as well as Brazilian, British and Ukrainian immigrants residing in Portugal, on the different autonomy-connectedness components (self-awareness: SA; sensitivity to others: SO; capacity for managing new situations: CMNS). It also aimed at investigating the
relationship between autonomy-connectedness and acculturation among the groups of immigrants. The results showed significant gender differences and among the cultural groups on SO. Adherence to the heritage culture was associated with the distinct dimensions of autonomy-connectedness differently
for the various groups, and time of residence was also key in how the dimensions were endorsed cross time. This study contributes to the theoretical framework of the concept of autonomy-connectedness in light of cross-cultural perspectives.

Purpose: This article explores different strands of educational discourse about sexual diversity in Portuguese schools, from the students' perspectives.Method: The methodological approach consisted in conducting focus groups discussions: 36 with 232 young students (H = 106, M = 126) in 12 public secondary schools.Findings: Students reveal a polyphony of discourses that gravitate between liberal acceptance, conditional acceptance and intolerance.Research implications: Attention is drawn not only to discriminatory processes that question school as a democratic place for LGBT youth, but also to the gap between what is legally decreed and a lack of know-how in the approach to sexual diversity in school.
