[Trends in Brazilian Research in Ergology].

This article aims to analyze trends in research on Ergology in Brazil published from 1997 to 2019, considering the nature of the publication and the potential impact of the databases in which they are published. Studies related to occupational health indicate the growing influence of Ergology in the understanding of the world of work, a fact evidenced in previous bibliometric research, of lesser breadth and scope of the databases investigated, which is why we intend to cover gaps and broaden the analysis with more up-to-date data. Using descriptors peculiar to Ergology, surveys were conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO databases, in journals not indexed to the databases cited, and in academic productions available in the Capes catalog.

[The metamorphosis and the field of the mental health of workers: a Bakhtinian analysis].

The scope of this paper is to analyze the dialogism between the narrative of Franz Kafka in "The Metamorphosis" and the discursive practices surrounding the mental health of the worker. Based on the theoretical/methodological perspective postulated by Mikhail Bakhtin, this study conducted a discursive analysis of Kafka's narrative based on the concepts of the Ergonomics of Activity and the Psychodynamics of Labor. In particular, the concepts of "dialogism" and "gender of discourse" in Bakhtin were used because they enable the study of the text and the social reality simultaneously.

[Posthumous memoirs of mulatto insanity: a pathological interpretation of Machado de Assis's appropriations].

Studies to identify possible relations between artistic creation and psychopathology (starting in nineteenth-century Europe) have influenced Brazilian thought on this topic. The objective of this article, from the perspective of the history of health sciences, is to analyze viewpoints throughout the twentieth century which considered the neurological and psychiatric diseases of Machado de Assis as fundamental to the development and content of his literary work. A theoretical and methodological reading based on Bakhtin found that many authors considered Machado de Assis's epilepsy to be the main reason behind his creativity, which allowed a review of the appropriation of different psychiatric theories in Brazil, as well as various theoretical concepts.

[Public health policies for workers: analysis of the implementation of institutionalization measures in a Brazilian city].

The creation of the Brazilian Network of Comprehensive Occupational Health Care (Renast) in 2002 led to the appearance and increase of Reference Centers for Occupational Health (Cerest) in Brazil. In the North Fluminense Region, Cerest was inaugurated in 2006 and resulted from the transformation of the former Occupational Health Program of the city of Campos dos Goytacazes. In the broader context of the history of Occupational Health Programs in Brazil and the creation of Renast, this research analyzes the setting up of this Cerest in Campos in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
