Title: Reimagining health with food sovereignty and critical agrarian studies Authors: Camacho-Benavides, Claudia I.; Navas, Grettel; Batool, Fizza; Rodríguez Lezica, Lorena; Yeboah Gyapong, Adwoa; Karimasari, Nadya Abstract: Despite the intrinsic connection between food and health, industrialised global food systems produce hunger, malnutrition, and chronic diseases. The Food Sovereignty (FS) movement offers a political-ecological alternative, centring local control and community rights; yet, health remains under-theorised in FS agendas. Drawing on literature and dialogue between the People’s Health and the FS movements around the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum, this paper advances critical debates on the politics of food-related ill-health and structural inequalities. We examine pathways to strengthen and deepen linkages between FS, collective health approaches, and critical agrarian studies, thereby informing dialogues for equitable and sustainable systemic transformation.

Title: Women intimate partner violence revictimization during protection orders in Montevideo, Uruguay. Risk factors and policy implications Authors: Gambetta, Victoria; Vanoli Imperiale, Sofía Abstract: This study explores risk factors for Protection Order (PO) violation in intimate partner violence (IPV) cases in Montevideo, Uruguay, a topic not yet investigated in Latin America. Using a sample of 1057 police-reported IPV cases, logistic regression compares literature-supported risk factors with those used in public policy to predict women's IPV revictimization. Results show that 26% of offenders violate POs, mainly through harassment (82%) and psychological violence (46%), and police monitoring reduces risk of offenders' recidivism by 48.5%. Additionally, they highlight that IPV trajectories of both victims (OR = 1.85) and offenders (OR = 1.89) are the strongest predictors of reabuse. These findings suggest that Uruguayan policymakers should rethink police intervention and public action on IPV by focusing on two key actions: increasing investment in data collection and analysis to improve PO monitoring and police response, and developing strategies beyond criminal sanctions to address offender treatment and victim support to prevent IPV reabuse.

Title: El yugo invisible de la gestión algorítmica. Un análisis comparado de la organización y condiciones de trabajo de trabajadores dependientes y unipersonales en Pedidos Ya, Uruguay Authors: López, Noelia Abstract: El artículo analiza el trabajo en las plataformas digitales de reparto a partir del estudio de caso de Pedidos Yaen Uruguay. En primer lugar, se aborda el contexto y las tendencias históricas que dieron lugar a la expansión de estas plataformas. En segundo lugar, se reconstruye la trayectoria de Pedidos Yay sus cambios en torno al vínculo jurídico con las y los repartidores. El análisis se concentra en la forma en que se organiza y gestiona el trabajo en las plataformas de reparto, donde se combinan nuevas tecnologías –como la gestión algorítmica–con viejas tendencias como el pago a destajo. En este sentido, se sitúa a las empresas de plataformas en el marco de una tendencia de flexibilización laboral, que a la vez contribuyen a profundizar. En tercer lugar, se examinan los efectos diferenciales de la contratación de repartidores como trabajadores dependientes y como empresas unipersonales, en las condiciones de trabajo y de vida de quienes se emplean en el sector. Para ello se analizan testimonios de las y los trabajadores, recuperados en diversos proyectos de investigación, así como de informantes calificados de la empresa. Esto se complementa con un análisis documental y de sitios institucionales de las empresas. El propósito del artículo es comprender las determinantes de la precarización laboral en las plataformas digitales de reparto, y brindar elementos para la protección de este tipo de trabajo.; The article analyzes work on digital delivery platforms through the case study of Pedidos Yain Uruguay. First, it addresses the context and historical trends that led to the expansion of these platforms. Second, it reconstructs the trajectory of Pedidos Yaand its changes regarding the legal relationship with delivery workers. The analysis focuses on how work is organized and managed on delivery platforms, combining new technologies -such as algorithmic management-with older practices, such as piece-rate payment. In this sense, platform companies are situated within a broader trend of labor flexibilization, which they also help to deepen. Third, the article examines the differential effects of employing delivery workers as dependent employees versus as sole proprietors on their working and living conditions. To this end, the study analyzes workers’ testimonies collected in various research projects, as well as information from company insiders. This is complemented by documentary analysis and the review of companies’ institutional websites. The purpose of the article is to understand the determinants of labor precarization on digital delivery platforms and to provide insights for the protection of this type of work.

For those purposes, mixed research methods are used. Aspects such as the socioeconomic and educational situation of the followers of Afro-religions are approached quantitatively. On the other hand, the characteristics of the religious message, which causes this type of cult to have increasingly more followers in our country, are approached qualitatively.
