Esta pesquisa aborda a rela??o entre o corpo e a est?tica, compreendida como padr?o corporal, com o objetivo de analisar o corpo masculino na Revista Men?s Health. A Revista em pauta ? uma publica??o mensal da Editora Abril, estando presente em mais de 43 pa?ses. A metodologia utilizada ? a an?lise de conte?do como proposta por Bardin (1979), visando identificar sentidos sobre o corpo masculino divulgado nessa m?dia, especificamente na se??o Fitness. O corpus de an?lise foi composto por 12 edi??es da revista, veiculadas de janeiro a dezembro do ano 2011. Elaboramos fichas de identifica??o para todas as mat?rias contidas no sum?rio da Se??o Fitness e, em seguida, fizemos os perfis das mat?rias construindo cinco categorias tem?ticas: Apar?ncia, Investimentos no corpo, Individualismo, Consumo, Bem-estar. A Men?s Health, atrav?s de suas imagens e discursos, apresenta v?rios conselhos e recomenda??es que apontam caminhos e atitudes a serem seguidos, influenciando o homem a ser jovem, belo e saud?vel. A partir da an?lise realizada, pode-se afirmar que na Revista Men?s Health a apar?ncia encontra-se ligada a uma ideia de um corpo magro e musculoso. Para a obten??o do corpo propagado pela revista, s?o necess?rios v?rios investimentos e pr?ticas de consumo. Nota-se ainda que o discurso do bem-estar e da felicidade utiliza a publicidade para incentivar os leitores a comprar as novidades lan?adas pela sociedade de consumo

Abstract:
Composites are in high demand; however, fasteners are often required for joining process and can reduce their advantages. One solution is adhesive bonding, but uncertainty exists regarding long term durability and the ability to interrogate bonds noninvasively. One potential solution to qualify bond integrity over its service life is to dope an adhesive with magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs). MENs can yield output magnetic signatures that are influenced by bond quality and damage state. In this study, adhesives have been doped with MENs prior to bonding at 1% volume concentration. For optimum implementation, this health monitoring system should be evaluated for effects of the MENs on the mechanical properties. Lap-shear testing was conducted to assess changes in the bond strength from addition of the nanoparticles. End-notched flexure (ENF) tests were also conducted for fracture mechanism evaluation. Results showed an increase of 12% in shear strength as a function of MENs loading concentration. In addition, a feasibility study of output magnetic signature as a function of elevated temperature and humidity were evaluated for MENs doped and un-doped adhesives. Results gave an order of magnitude change in magnetic signal as a function of exposure time.

Abstract:
Prostate cancer is one of the most prominent diseases in men’s health. It is inherently 'male', given the exclusivity of the prostate gland to men’s bodies and its physiological connection to testosterone and male sexuality. The biomedical complexities of prostate cancer continue to be unravelled and researched and are often connected to identifying causes, the virtues of screening and treatment modalities. However, despite the biological male 'sex' link, most of the prostate cancer research is not connected with research on gender relations, men and masculinities. The net outcome is that men’s lives and illness experiences are absent in much of the prostate cancer research. This PhD thesis Prostate cancer: Anglo-Australian heterosexual perspectives, is an ethnographic study of thirty-five Anglo-Australian men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Participants shared their experiences of living with prostate cancer in the context of health promotion, health services and in relation to their sexuality and intimate relationships. Through participant photographic novella and in-depth semi-structured interviews, rich cultural insights are provided. A social constructionist gender analysis is used in this research that shows how the social constructions of masculinity interconnect and occasionally collide with prostate cancer throughout the illness trajectory.

O estudo analisa os discursos de homens e da revista Mens Health acerca do corpo, saúde e sexualidade. Para a construção dos discursos dos homens, realizamos entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 19 homens leitores e nove não leitores. E dois eventos de grupos focais que reuniram 11 homens no total. Foi entrevistado também o editor da revista. Os principais conceitos norteadores deste trabalho foram os de gênero, sexualidade, poder e masculinidades hegemônicas e subalternas. Evidenciou-se que a revista está fortemente atrelada à sociedade de consumo ao estimular a inserção dos homens em um mercado de produtos e serviços até então estranhos a esse gênero. E que suas concepções sobre saúde estão relacionadas a de bem-estar e de individualização que se articulam com os discursos hegemônicos que vêm dando sentido às concepções de saúde e doença atualmente. A publicação investe fortemente na ideia de um corpo musculoso que proporcionará ganhos sociais, sexuais e profissionais aos sujeitos, nem sempre atrelado às questões de saúde. Ela ratifica a heterossexualidade do leitor projetado, expondo o corpo feminino e o sexo heterossexual e silenciando sobre outras formas de sexualidade. Por isso consideramos que a revista se vincula a uma concepção tradicional da masculinidade. Seus discursos, no entanto, não são monolíticos ou isentos de contradição, e também manifestam nuances relativas a um modelo mais contemporâneo de masculinidade, como quando apresenta a ideia de uma nova pedagogia da sexualidade e a valorização dos cuidados estéticos e de saúde com o corpo, aspectos considerados pouco próximos da masculinidade tradicional. Com relação aos discursos dos homens, evidenciou-se que a classe social e a geração são as variáveis mais importantes nas suas concepções sobre corpo, saúde e sexualidade masculina. Que, entre os não leitores, de modo geral, há evidências mais fortes de flexibilização com relação aos padrões mais tradicionais entre os homens mais jovens e/ou de classes mais altas. Enquanto os homens com idade acima dos 30 anos e das classes populares estão mais atrelados às concepções tradicionais. Entre os leitores, observou-se uma grande reflexividade com relação aos discursos da revista demonstrando que eles vêm se apropriando de forma importante dos discursos da revista e ressignificando suas concepções e práticas sobre os três temas da pesquisa a partir desses discursos. E, assim como os discursos da revista, os discursos dos homens, leitores ou não, também apresentaram aspectos contraditórios, ora demonstrando mais afiliação a um novo modelo de masculinidade, ora ao modelo mais tradicional.
The study analyzes the speeches of men and Men's Health magazine about the body, health and sexuality. For the construction of discourses of men, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 men and nine readers not readers. And two events focus groups that gathered 11 men in total. Was also interviewed the magazine's editor. The main drivers of this work were the concepts of gender, sexuality, power and hegemonic and subordinate masculinities. It was evident that the magazine is strongly tied to the consumer society to encourage the inclusion of men in a market for goods and services hitherto strangers to this genre. And that his views on health are related to wellness and individualization that articulate with the hegemonic discourses that are giving meaning to the concepts of health and illness today. The publication invests heavily in the idea of a muscular body that will provide professionals subject to social gains, sexual, and not always linked to health issues. She confirms heterosexuality designed the reader, exposing the female body and heterosexual sex and silencing of other forms of sexuality. Therefore we consider that the magazine is linked to a traditional conception of masculinity. His speeches, however, are not monolithic or free from contradiction, and also express nuances on a more contemporary model of masculinity, as when he presents the idea of ​​a new pedagogy of sexuality and appreciation of aesthetic and health care with the body aspects considered next bit of traditional masculinity. With regard to the resources of men, it became clear that social class and generation are the most important variables in their conceptions about body, health and male sexuality. That, among non-readers in general, there is stronger evidence of flexibility with respect to more traditional patterns between younger and / or more upper class men. While men above the age of 30 years and the lower classes are more tied to traditional concepts. Among readers, there was a big reflexivity with regard to the resources of the magazine showing that they are appropriating important form of speeches and magazine redefines its conceptions and practices of the three research themes from these speeches. And just like the speeches of the journal, the speeches of men, or not readers also showed contradictory aspects, sometimes showing more affiliation to a new model of masculinity, sometimes the more traditional model.

This thesis proposes that the idea expressed in Juvenal s quotation Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, produced in the Ancient Greek-Roman civilization includes undestandings of body, heath and education that were reapropriated and reorganized by scientific and pedagogical theories in the XIX and XX centuries. These theories, especially the ones that received contributions from the biomedical sciences, have influenced Physical Education in the search of becoming a science. In order to realize this reapropriation, we have analyzed the transformations in the concepts of body, health and education produced in the area discourse, aiming at pointing out elements to the configuration of a theory that is being called Corpore Sano. The theory constitutes in possible systematization of scientific, philosophical and pedagogical concepts, and as such, an understanding of the scientific fundaments of Physical Education. The corpus of this analysis was composed by 148 articles that were published in Revista Brasileira de Ci?ncias do Esporte digitalized in the period between 1979 and 2003 and selected according to theme: body, biology, physical activity, effort physiology and health. The analysis of the content and the referential interpretation allowed the combination of philosophical reflection with attention to the empiric field as a comprehensive dimension. Based on the corpus of the analysis it is possible to configure meta-arguments about the concepts of body, health and education in the scientific production of Physical Education. As a metaresearch. Our study did not intend to judge the analyzed production, but look for theoretical elements that may generate a reflection about the scientific rationality in Physical Education and developments in the pedagogical field and in body practices. Such a reflection might be recognized as a theory of the living body, susceptible to modifications and interrogations that are proper of knowledge and practices of Physical Education. It is a theory rejects the idea of the complete truth and holds the comprehension that the truth is built historically through relations among different kinds of knowledge and Physical Education practices
A tese prop?e a id?ia de que a M?xima de Juvenal: Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, pronunciada na Antiguidade greco-romana subsume compreens?es de corpo, sa?de e educa??o reapropriadas e reorganizadas por teorias cient?ficas e pedag?gicas nos s?culos XIX e XX. Essas teorias, sobretudo, as que receberam contribui??es das ci?ncias biom?dicas, influenciaram a Educa??o F?sica em busca de cientificidade. Para perceber essa reapropria??o, analisamos as transforma??es nos conceitos de corpo, sa?de e educa??o produzidos nos discursos da ?rea, com vistas a apontar elementos para a configura??o de uma teoria que estamos denominando de Corpore Sano, a qual apresenta-se como uma sistematiza??o poss?vel de conceitos cient?ficos, filos?ficos e pedag?gicos e como tal, uma compreens?o dos fundamentos cient?ficos da Educa??o F?sica. O corpus de an?lise foi composto de 148 artigos publicados na Revista Brasileira de Ci?ncias do Esporte digitalizada no per?odo de 1979 a 2003 e selecionados a partir das seguintes tem?ticas: corpo, biologia, atividade f?sica, fisiologia do esfor?o e sa?de. A an?lise de conte?do e a interpreta??o referencial permitiram combinar a reflex?o filos?fica com a aten??o ao campo emp?rico numa dimens?o compreensiva. A partir do corpus de an?lise ? poss?vel configurar meta-argumentos em torno dos conceitos de corpo, sa?de e educa??o na produ??o cient?fica da Educa??o F?sica.

Uma reflex?o dessa natureza poder? ser reconhecida como uma teoria do corpo vivo, sujeita a transforma??es e interroga??es pr?prias dos saberes e pr?ticas da Educa??o F?sica. Uma teoria que rejeita a id?ia de verdade totalizante e abarca a compreens?o de que a verdade ? constru?da, historicamente, atrav?s das rela??es entre os saberes e as pr?ticas da Educa??o F?sica

Abstract:
A saúde do homem surge como questão de Saúde Pública frente às elevadas taxas de mortalidade masculina quando comparadas às taxas de mortalidade feminina. Há algumas décadas, os estudos sobre homens buscam relacionar essas estatísticas com a questão de gênero, demonstrando que o padrão de comportamento adotado pelos homens, baseado na masculinidade hegemônica, e socialmente imposto, está relacionado ao comportamento do homem em relação ao processo saúde-doença. Este estudo pretende conhecer a população masculina adulta usuária de um serviço de atenção primária à saúde o Centro de Saúde Escola Barra Funda Dr. Alexandre Vranjac (CSEBF-AV) e o modo como essa população se relaciona com o serviço: quem são esses homens, quais são as suas demandas e como eles estão inseridos na unidade. A partir do projeto de pesquisa intitulado Homens, violência e saúde: uma contribuição para a linha de pesquisa e intervenção em gênero, violência doméstica e saúde selecionou-se amostra de 237 homens usuários do CSEBF-AV. Os homens foram individualmente entrevistados a partir do instrumento questionário e seus prontuários lidos a partir da ficha de leitura de prontuários, buscando-se conhecer aspectos sócio-demográficos, de saúde e de uso do serviço desses homens segundo o tipo de matrícula/ porta de entrada no serviço: moradores e trabalhadores da área de abrangência da unidade, homens em situação de exclusão social e homens cuja entrada no serviço esteve vinculada a condições de saúde-doença relacionadas à vigilância epidemiológica (VE). Os dados coletados foram analisados nos programas STATA v. 9 e Epi Info v. 6.04b. Os homens, em sua maioria, pertenciam ao grupo etário de 35 a 54 anos, tinham 8 a 11 anos de estudo, pertenciam aos estratos sociais C e D, tinham relacionamento estável, moravam com a família em casa/ apartamento e estavam empregados. Em relação às questões de saúde, a maioria dos homens entrevistados mostrou boa percepção de sinais e sintomas, queixas gerais (43,5%) como principal demanda em saúde, uso importante de bebidas alcoólicas (62,4%), uso do preservativo masculino para prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (54%) e opção (do casal) por laqueadura ou pílula anticoncepcional como método contraceptivo (41,4%). Em relação ao uso do serviço a maioria dos homens fazia uso de consultas programadas (70%) e buscava primeiramente um centro de saúde frente a um problema de saúde (57,8%). Observamos que moradores e trabalhadores da área apresentaram padrão de uso do serviço e de demandas semelhantes, enquanto que os homens seguidos pela VE apresentaram padrão específico de uso do serviço e demandas, devido à sua inserção diferenciada no serviço. Os homens em situação de exclusão destacaram-se por apresentar diversas características que os tornam mais vulneráveis às questões de saúde, desde fatores sócio-demográficos a formas de uso dos serviços. Acreditamos que as diferenças observadas entre os quatro grupos de homens poderiam estar relacionadas às questões de gênero, além de outros fatores. Ainda, a maior vulnerabilidade dos homens em situação de exclusão às questões de saúde aponta para a necessidade de uma organização do CSEBF-AV baseada nas relações de gênero, elaborando ações e estratégias que atentem para as necessidades comuns e específicas dos diferentes grupos de homens que fazem uso desse serviço.
The mens health has emerged as an important concern to Public Health. Its because of the male deaths rates are higher then the womens rates. In last decades, mens studies have been looking for relations between these statistics and gender, and they have demonstrated that the behavior pattern followed by men, based on hegemonic masculinity, and socially expected, its related to mens behavior and the way they have been taken care of their health. The present study intends to know the adult male patient population from a primary health care the Centro de Saúde Escola Barra Funda Dr. Alexandre Vranjac (CSEBF-AV) and how these population have been using the health center: who are those men, which are their health demands and how they are insert in this health center. From the research project Homens, violência e saúde: uma contribuição para a linha de pesquisa e intervenção em gênero, violência doméstica e saúde we have selected a source of 237 men patients who are users of this health center. They were individually interwied by researches and a survey was applied to their medical records, intending to know their social aspects, their health and the way they have been using the health center, according to their service?s register category: people who resides around the health center, people who works around the health center, people from lower social-economic levels and people that was registered at the service because of some health condition involving epidemiologic surveillance. The data were analyzed by STATA v. 9 and Epi Info v. 6.04b programs. Mostly men were aged between 35-54, they had had 8 to 11 years study, they were from middle class, they were living stable relationships, they were residing in house/ apartment whit their family and they were mostly workers. About health issues, mostly men showed to be able to perceive signs of health problem, general demands appeared being their main health demand (43,5%), they were evidence for alcoholic abuse (62,4%), safe sex practices (54%), birth control depending on women (41,4%). About the use of the health center mostly men were used to come up to their doctors appointment (70%), they looked first for health center when they were feeling ill (57,8%). Men who resided around the health center and men who worked around the health center had similar use oh the health center, men that were registered at the service because of some health condition involving epidemiologic surveillance had specifics ways in using the health center. Men from lower socio-economic levels showed they were more vulnerable to diseases risk factors. We believe that the differences found among the groups of men could be related to gender, besides other factors. The CSEBF-AV organization based on gender will provide health actions improvement to all different mens groups.

Abstract:
Participant recruitment is a crucial component of clinical trial conduct yet an estimated 50% of trials fail to recruit to target. Trialists seeking strategies to boost participant recruitment are faced with a lack of good-quality evidence to guide their decision-making. In this context, recruitment activities are often conducted in a trial-and-error manner, resulting in wasted time and resources, and risking trial failure. Men have a lower life expectancy than women, and are also at increased risk of a number of chronic diseases including diabetes. Nevertheless, men have been underrepresented in diabetes prevention trials, and the published literature on how best to engage men in trials is limited. The aim of this research was to identify and evaluate strategies to recruit men into clinical trials. The research was set with the Testosterone for the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes (T4DM) study, a large, multi-centre, phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled two-year trial of testosterone therapy combined with a lifestyle intervention (Weight Watchers®) compared to the lifestyle intervention alone for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes. Between January 2013 and February 2017, 19,022 participants were screened and 1007 randomised to the T4DM study. The final study visit was conducted in May 2019. A systematic review of strategies to recruit men aged 50 years and over to clinical trials was conducted. In the included studies, the most effective strategies for identifying prospective participants were referral from an affiliated health service, media coverage and mass mailing. Identification of participants through community outreach activities such as displaying posters and attending local community events was not effective. Site staff training that focused on trial-specific recruitment challenges was also effective in increasing recruitment. Of the 16 included studies, only one was assessed to be of good quality. The most common sources of bias in fair and poor quality studies were inadequate description of recruitment interventions, and failure to report cost data. Next, a program of three recruitment evaluations was conducted within the T4DM study. First, a range of promotional strategies to identify prospective T4DM participants was developed and evaluated. Repeated, high frequency bursts of radio advertising, infrequent but high reach television news coverage, and direct mass mail outs by a government health agency were the most effective recruitment strategies. Promotions through community groups and businesses, online advertising, referral by general practitioner, coverage on newspaper and radio news bulletins, and newspaper advertising were also implemented but were evaluated to be less effective. Promotional activities cost an average of AUD$594 per randomised participant (ranging from no direct cost for television, radio and newspaper news coverage to AUD$1941 per randomised participant for newspaper advertising). Second, a centralised, semi-automated approach to screening and enrolling T4DM participants was implemented and evaluated. The sequential screening process comprised: (i) web-based prescreening, (ii) laboratory eligibility screening at a network of third-party pathology centres, (iii) final on-site clinical screening. This approach delivered high-volume screening at low cost and required few staff. Efficiencies were achieved by pre-screening the majority of subjects (95%) online, automating email communications with prospective participants, outsourcing blood collection for laboratory screening to a third party pathology centre, and automating eligibility ascertainment up to the point of final clinical screening. Screening and enrolment cost on average AUD$1411 per randomised participant, including direct and indirect costs. This represented a considerable cost saving compared to previous studies in similar disease settings. Third, a ‘study within a trial’ (SWAT) was implemented to address an identified roadblock in trial recruitment. Phone call and Short Message Service (SMS) reminders were designed to increase screening uptake in participants who did not attend a further screening assessment after completing pre-screening. In a randomised comparison (N=709), there was no significant difference in screening uptake between those who received an SMS reminder and those who received a telephone call reminder (18% (62/354) and 23% (80/355) respectively) (RR=1.29, 95% CI 0.96–1.73, p=0.09). Both SMS (95% CI 14%–22%) and telephone call reminders (95% CI 18%–27%) increased screening uptake compared to neither reminder (12%). SMS reminders cost substantially less than telephone call reminders (AUD$0.53 versus AUD$6.21 per reminder), making them an adequate alternative to telephone call reminders to boost screening uptake. In total, this research provides a detailed and costed approach for recruiting men to diabetes prevention trials. The estimates of cost and effectiveness reported in this research will be of use to trialists seeking to recruit similar participant populations. More broadly, the methods for implementing and evaluating recruitment strategies presented in this thesis will be generalizable to many trial settings.

Abstract:
Background: The human secondary sex ratio has been the subject of long-standing medical, environmental and social scientific curiosity and research. A decline in male birth proportion in some industrialised countries is linked to endocrine disruption and is validated by some empirical studies. Increasing parental age and population stress and associated decreases in sex ratio have also been demonstrated. A thorough literature review of 123 relevant and diverse studies provides context for these assessments. Methods: A spatial-temporal investigation of birth sex ratio in Scotland and potential determinants of endocrine disruptor pollution, socio-economic factors including neighbourhood stress, deprivation, smoking, and maternal age, was conducted. This involved review of national and regional sex ratio time trends, and stratified/spatial analysis of such factors, including the use of GIS tools. Secondary data were sourced from Scottish Government web portals including Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. Results: Regional differences in sex ratio between 1973 and 2010 are observed which likely lever the national male birth proportion downwards, with the region of poorest air quality from industrial emissions, the Forth Valley, displaying the greatest sex ratio reduction. Further analysis shows significant upwards skewing in sex ratio for the population cohort experiencing the least and 2nd most deprivation. Localised reductions in sex ratio for areas of high modelled endocrine disruptor pollution within the Central Region in Scotland are also displayed. Discussion: Limitations of the analyses include the danger of ecological fallacy in interpreting from area-based measurement and the simplified pollution modelling adopted. Despite this, and given elevated incidence of testicular cancer in Scottish regions mirrors the study’s results, tentative confirmation of the endocrine disruptor hypothesis can be substantiated. Further, elucidation on advanced parental age as a contributory factor to secondary sex ratio change is also given. Recommendations are made with respect to environmental monitoring and health protection, and preventative health strategies in Scotland.

Abstract:
Há poucos estudos sobre saúde mental masculina, em especial quando a temática é a violência. Os trabalhos sobre homens e violência sofrida destacam eventos fatais, oferecendo pouca visibilidade à violência não fatal. No presente estudo, analisou-se a associação entre esses dois eventos, cuja relação é pouco explorada. Metodologicamente, realizou-se um estudo transversal, com 477 usuários masculinos de serviços de atenção primária, de 18 a 60 anos. A seleção amostral foi do tipo consecutivo, por ordem de chegada em dois serviços de atenção primária na cidade de São Paulo. Foram coletadas características sócio-demográficas, de saúde e relatos de experiência de violência sofrida ao longo da vida (adulta, na adolescência e/ou na infância) e de violência testemunhada na infância. Também foram coletadas informações sobre uso do serviço de saúde mental e/ou queixas/diagnósticos psicológicos em consulta da clínica médica, por meio de leitura de prontuários médicos, para categorização da variável dependente sofrimento mental. As variáveis foram descritas por frequências e proporções, apresentando 29,4% (140) de homens com sofrimento mental. Dentre esses homens, 45,7% sofreram violência física e/ou sexual mais de uma vez na vida. Em relação à violência sofrida na infância e/ou adolescência, metade dos homens com sofrimento mental havia tido algum episódio de violência psicológica, física e/ou sexual antes dos 18 anos. E 61,4% dos homens haviam perpetrado algum tipo de violência além de sofrê-la durante a vida. Por meio de análise multivariada desenvolveram-se três modelos de Poisson com variância robusta do tipo confirmatório, ajustados pelas variáveis sócio-demográficas, testemunho de violência na infância e uso de substância psicoativa. No modelo I, sofrimento mental foi significativamente associado apenas com sofrer violência física e/ou sexual recorrente. (RP:1,75; IC95%:1,13-2,72), já que a violência em episódio único perdeu a significância após a inclusão da variável de uso de substância psicoativa. No modelo II, o mesmo desfecho esteve associado a sofrer violência antes dos 18 anos, sendo que sofrer violência na infância e/ou adolescência aumenta o risco de sofrimento mental na vida adulta em 1,93 vezes (IC95% 1,25-3,00), e sofrer qualquer tipo de violência apenas na vida adulta não se mostrou associado a sofrimento mental. No modelo III, a exposição a sofrer e perpetrar violência foi associado a sofrimento mental, enquanto apenas sofrer ou apenas perpetrar não mostraram significância estatística. Em todos os modelos, o uso de substância psicoativa representou uma importante variável de ajuste. Conclui-se que há importante relação entre sofrimento mental e sofrer violência, e a ocorrência desses episódios nos primeiros anos de vida podem provocar agravos à saúde mental na vida adulta, chegando a ter associação com 61,4% desses agravos. Tal relação, já salientada nos estudos com mulheres, é relevante também para a saúde dos homens, chamando a atenção para a igual necessidade da identificação nos serviços de saúde de situações de violência experimentadas pela população masculina, bem como maior atenção aos agravos em saúde mental nessa população
There are few studies about mens mental health, particularly when the theme is violence. The studies on men and suffered violence highlight fatal events, providing poor visibility to non-fatal violence. In this study, it was analyzed the association between these two events, which relation is little explored. It was performed methodologically a cross sectional study, with 477 men using primary care services, aged from 18 to 60 years. The screening was consecutive, in order of arrival in two primary care services in the city of São Paulo. Social-demographic, health characteristics and reports of experience of violence suffered over lifetime (adult life, adolescence and/or childhood) and of violence witnessed during childhood were collected. It was also collected information on the usage of mental health service and/or psychological complaints/diagnoses during consultation at medical clinics by reading medical records, for categorization of the dependent variable mental suffering. The variables were described per frequency and proportions, showing 29.4% (140) of men with mental suffering. Among these men, 45.7% have suffered physical and/or sexual violence more than once in life. Regarding the violence suffered during childhood and/or adolescence, half of the men showing mental suffering had suffered some episode of psychological, physical and/or sexual violence before the 18 years of age. And 61.4% of them had perpetrated some type of violence besides suffering it during lifetime. Using multivariate analysis, three confirmatory Poisson models with robust variance of were developed, adjusted by variables of social-demographic, witness of violence during childhood and usage of psychoactive substance. In the Model I, mental suffering was significantly associated only to suffering recurrent physical and/or sexual violence. (PR:1.75;95%CI:1.13-2.72), since violence in only episode lost significance after inclusion of the variable of psychoactive substance usage. In the Model II, the same outcome had been associated to suffering violence before the 18 years of age, considering that suffering violence during childhood and/or adolescence increases the risk of mental suffering in adult life by 1.93 times, (95%CI:1.25-3.00), and suffering any type of violence only in the adult life was not observed to be associated to mental suffering. In the Model III, suffering and perpetrating violence was associated to mental suffering, while suffering only or perpetrating only did not show statistical significance. In all the models, psychoactive substance usage represented an important adjustment variable. This study came to the conclusion that there is an important relation between mental suffering and suffering violence, and the occurrence of these episodes during the early years of life can cause adverse effects to mental health in adult life, being associated to up to 61,4% of these aggravations. Such relation, already highlighted in studies with women, is also relevant for mens health, drawing attention to the similar need of identification in the health services for situations of violence experimented by the male population, as well as greater attention to the aggravations on mental health in such population

Abstract:
Adhesive bonding has been shown to successfully address some of the main problems with traditional fasteners, such as the reduction of the overall weight and a more uniformly distributed stress state. However, due to the unpredictability of failure of adhesive bonds, their use is not widely accepted in the aerospace industry. Unlike traditional fastening methods, it is difficult to inspect the health of an adhesive joint once it has been cured. For adhesive bonding to be widely accepted and implemented, there must be a better understanding of the fracture mechanism of the adhesive joints, as well as a way to monitor the health of the bonds nondestructively. Therefore, in-field structural health monitoring is an important tool to ensure optimal condition of the bond is present during its lifetime. This project focuses on the advancement of a non-invasive field instrument for evaluation of the health of the adhesive joints. The tool developed is based on a B-H looper system where coils are arranged into a noise-cancellation configuration to measure the magnetic susceptibility of the samples with a lock-in amplifier. The B-H looper system can evaluate the state of damage in an adhesive bond by detecting changes in surface charge density at the molecular level of an epoxy-based adhesive doped with magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs). Epoxy-based adhesive samples were doped with MENs and then scanned using the B-H looper system. To evaluate the health of the adhesive joint, microindentation and tensile tests were performed on MENs-doped adhesive samples to understand the relationship between mechanical damage and magnetic signal. Correlations between magnetic signatures and mechanical damage were minimally observed, thus future studies will focus on refining the procedure and damaging methodology.

Abstract:
Introduction Maintaining good life quality in urban neighbourhoods is one of the biggest challenges. The project "Healthy Neighbourhoods - Health Promotion and Prevention in Districts" ( 07/201712/2020) aims to describe and improve health and quality of life of citizens living in neighbourhoods with different socioeconomic statuses. Method To examine a possible connection between social and health situation, six districts with "very low", "low", "middle" and "high" social statuses will be compared. An instrument was developed to measure walkability, community sense, nutrition, alcohol and tobacco consumption, resilience, health-related quality of life as well as the socio-economic and the socio-demographic status. Results In April 2019, the team recorded n=621 interviews (n=102 in Lohbrügge, n=116 in Rahlstedt, n=87 in Sasel, n=135 in Stellingen, n=65 Wilhelmsburg and n=116 in Hamm). Men were somewhat overrepresented compared to women (n=268 woman, n=345 men, n=2 diverse, n=8 no indication). Respondents were aged between 18 - 96 (mean = 57.5, SD = 19.6). Discussion The results demonstrate different health situations, resources and challenges regarding the socio-economic status and the district respectively. To ensure a participative approach, the results will be presented to citizens and health experts living in these districts and form the basis to develop health promoting intervention.

Abstract:
This book builds on presentations of the Workshop on Men as Supportive Partners in Reproductive and Sexual Health held in Kathmandu, Nepal, in 1998. By analyzing the experiences of nongovernmental organizations across India, this publication reviews important concerns that should inform the discourse on male partnership. The previous views of reaching men as contraceptive users and removing them as impediments to women’s efforts to control fertility are too limited. The argument is not whether men and women should use family planning, but rather the extent to which men can become supportive of women’s reproductive and sexual rights and actively take part in responsible and healthy reproductive behavior. Applied research is needed to learn how to stimulate and support positive and healthy sexual partnerships between women and men. It is important to demonstrate that contraceptive safety and continuation, safer sexual behaviors, use of reproductive health services, reduction in morbidity and mortality, and other health outcomes can be improved through the positive involvement of men as supportive partners and responsible parents. This publication provides a wealth of information on male partnership issues.
