No Brasil, a Lei de cotas, o Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil (PNAES) e o Bolsa-Permanência, entre outros, animaram a política de acesso e permanência em cursos de nível superior. O objetivo deste ensaio é identificar convergências e assimetrias entre a retrocitada lei e programas, norteando-nos, teórica e metodologicamente, pelo materialismo histórico-dialético. Os resultados evidenciam confluência no tocante ao atendimento, tanto a estudantes provenientes de família cuja renda per capita não excede a 1,5 salário-mínimo, quanto às pessoas com deficiência. Já a dissonância envolve a Lei de cotas e o PNAES, pois a primeira incluiu os pretos, pardos e indígenas, ao passo que a segunda os ignorou, acentuando, exclusivamente, as pessoas com deficiência.CONVERGENCES AND DISSONANCES OF THE PNAES AND PERMANENCE GRANT PROGRAMS AND THE LAW OF QUOTASABSTRACTIn Brazil, the Law of quotas, the National Student Assistance Program (PNAES), and the Permanence Grant, among others, have encouraged the policy of access and permanence in higher education programs. The aim of this essay is to identify convergences and asymmetries among the aforementioned law and programs, by guiding us theoretically and methodologically through the historical-dialectical materialism. The results evidence a confluence in terms of service, both for students from families whose per capita income does not exceed 1.5 minimum wage, as well as for people with disabilities. Yet, the dissonance involves the Law of quotas and the PNAES, since the former included the black, pardo, and indigenous, while the latter ignored them, thus accentuating exclusively the disabled.KEYWORDS: Quotas; PNAES; Permanence Grant.

Women's participation in the labor market in Central America is low for the international standard. Increase such participation is on the agenda of many policymakers who want to improve women's access to quality employment. In this paper, we use data from Central America, Panama, and the Dominican Republic to assess whether gender equality in the law helps increasing women's participation in the labor force and, therefore, boosts GDP per capita. The study is based on two econometric methodologies to evaluate distinct aspects of the economic mechanism.

This paper provides estimates on the determinants of the per capita demand for membership in the United States Chess Federation (USCF) from 1946–1990. The USCF is the principal body in this country which promotes and sponsors chess activities. The empirical results confirm not only hypotheses derived from the law of demand concerning the effects from price, income, taste changes, and efforts by the USCF to increase membership, but also implications from allocation of time decisions concerning work-leisure tradeoffs.

Personal Case

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
