Abstract:Feminist and queer advocacies in Nigeria have resulted in a wave of radical care praxis due to backlash against members, sociopolitical upheaval, and burnout from ceaseless activist labor. This article discusses how conversations and cultures of radical care are transforming feminist and women's rights collectives and more heterogenous activist groups. It engages a critical synthesis of interviews and personal communications with ten Nigerian feminist and women's rights activists dedicated to various social issues. The findings from this article address undertheorized dynamics of Nigeria's young women and feminist labor, including their subversive reconstruction of radical care as a sustainable and political act, the limits to their feminist labor, and their challenges to the provision and reception of radical care.

Abstract:Black Love Convergence is a multiday gathering hosted by Acorn Center for Restoration and Freedom, embodying bell hooks's call to "love Blackness as an act of political resistance." Participants come from across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean to "reclaim Black life" (hooks 1992), heal internalized oppression, and live into freedom. The collective weaves together movements, generations, and genders to experience Blackness as power, healing, and nourishment. Initially a reaction to the Trump administration, the work of Black Love Convergence has become a chamber resonating and affirming the wisdom of the Black diaspora. From the creator and a participant's perspectives, this piece explores the emotional-spiritual impact of this gathering on our narratives of Blackness, collective healing, and relationships.

Abstract:Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) solidarities in colonially called North America are frequently theorized within the ongoing histories of white heteropatriarchal supremacy and colonial ideologies and structures. Within these discourses, whiteness continues to be centered while the voices, theorizations, lived experiences, and contributions of Black peoples are overlooked, a perpetuation of the anti-Blackness embedded within colonization. The centering of whiteness also subsumes differences across BIPOC communities and frames kinship relations as emerging solely from the shared goal of dismantling systemic violences experienced across BIPOC communities. But, Black feminist theorizations of love recognize that differences and incommensurabilities are integral to positive and meaningful BIPOC solidarities. Thus, decolonization and BIPOC solidarities must center Black feminist theorizations of love as integral to building decolonial otherwises of freedom.

Abstract:Toni Morrison's novel Love invites us to consider structuring systems in how Black women embody and practice love for each other. What is the affective quality of healing love between Black women? What happens when the social and psychic structuring of this love are implicated in patriarchal, racializing, and classed systems of relating? The paper engages two primary concerns: (1) how the erasure and distortion of Black women's love is made possible when love's backdrop consists of anti-Black, capitalist, and racist systems and histories, and (2) why Black women's reclamation of love for each other is necessary to a project of healing and community building.

The objective of this present study was to evaluate the completion of medical records by undergraduate students at the Integrated Children's of a South Brazilian Graduation Institution over the past five years, as well as the quality of the radiographs obtained by them. After the University Research Ethics Committee approval, the data were collected by previously calibrated undergraduate students, at Children’s Clinic through patients records up to 12 years, totaling a sample of 378 medical records and 354 radiographs. The collected data include patient identification, documentation, clinical data, procedures and other information that make up the dental record, as well as radiographic errors involving processing, technique and radiographs storage. It was possible to verify that 50% of the records filled out by the students have the completion of the dental chart, but there was no signature of the legal responsible; that approximately 53% did not have a planning or even an odontogram completed; There was no significance regarding to age and odontogram complexion. Among the radiographs evaluated, 66% were children over 7 years old, 50% male, 68.5% performed by the periapical technique. From the observed the “incorrect storage” was the most present, followed by the “presence of digital” error. Errors during radiographic taking ranged from 1.1 to 22%. It was concluded that the quality of the medical records filling made by the undergraduate students is unsatisfactory, as well as the quality of the radiographs and their storage.
