Conhecer os padr?es de mortalidade por esses c?nceres no Brasil, as mudan?as que se produziram ao longo do tempo, os grupos mais vulner?veis e a carga de mortalidade que se apresentar? no futuro s?o elementos b?sicos para a estrutura??o das a??es assistenciais e de vigil?ncia do c?ncer. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as tend?ncias de mortalidade pelos c?nceres que acometem ?rg?os que s?o espec?ficos a cada g?nero e projetar a mortalidade por esses c?nceres at? o ano de 2030, para o Brasil, regi?es e estados da federa??o. Trata-se de um estudo ecol?gico de base populacional que analisou os ?bitos, ocorridos no per?odo 1996 a 2010, decorrentes dos c?nceres de colo do ?tero, corpo do ?tero, mama feminina, ov?rios, vulva, vagina, pr?stata, p?nis e test?culos, registrados no Sistema de Informa??o sobre Mortalidade; as informa??es sobre popula??o foram obtidas do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estat?stica. Foi aplicada a Regress?o loglineal (Joinpoint regression) com taxas padronizadas (popula??o mundial: ASR-W) para estimar o Annual Percentage Change (APC), o Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC), o intervalo de confian?a 95% e os pontos de inflex?o da curva; as proje??es foram calculadas atrav?s do programa Nordpred, inscrito no programa R, utilizando o modelo idade-per?odo-coorte, analisando posteriormente se as mudan?as que se produzir?o no futuro ser?o decorrentes da exposi??o aos fatores de risco e/ou da estrutura da popula??o exposta ao risco. Todas as an?lises tamb?m foram aplicadas para o conjunto de todos os ?bitos por c?ncer (com exce??o dos c?nceres de pele n?o-melanoma). Para o Brasil, a mortalidade pelos c?nceres de p?nis (APC=1,5% IC95% 0,7;2,3 p<0,05), test?culos (APC=1,6% IC95% 0,5;2,8 p<0,05) e ov?rios (APC=0,8% IC95% 0,1; 1,5 p<0,05), mostraram tend?ncia de aumento, enquanto os c?nceres de vulva e vagina (APC=-0,1% IC95% -0,9; 0,7 p=0,8), corpo de ?tero (APC= -0,3 IC95% -1,0; 0,5 p=0,4), mama (APC=0,4% IC95% -0,2;1,0 p=0,2) e de pr?stata (AAPC= 1,1% IC95% -0,2; 2,4 p=0,1) apresentaram tend?ncia de estabilidade. A mortalidade por c?ncer de colo de ?tero apresentou tend?ncia de redu??o (APC=-1,7% IC95%-2,2; -1,1 p<0,05). A an?lise do agrupamento de todos os ?bitos por c?ncer observou tend?ncia de aumento na mortalidade para o sexo masculino at? o ano de 2006 (APC= 1,2% IC95% 0,6;1,8 p<0,01), seguido de um per?odo de estabilidade. Para o sexo feminino, a tend?ncia ? de estabilidade (APC=0,4% IC95% -0,2;-1,8 p=0,2). As taxas de mortalidade para todos os c?nceres analisados mostraram, de maneira geral, tend?ncia de redu??o nas regi?es sul e sudeste, tend?ncia de aumento nas regi?es norte e nordeste, e estabilidade para a regi?o centro oeste. Na proje??o da mortalidade para o ano 2030, as regi?es norte e nordeste responder?o pelas maiores taxas de mortalidade para os c?nceres analisados; todavia, para as demais regi?es, ser? observada redu??o nas taxas em compara??o com o ?ltimo per?odo observado. Destacase o c?ncer de test?culo, para o qual ser? observado aumento de 33% na carga da mortalidade at? o ano 2030. Para os demais c?nceres, n?o ser?o observadas varia??es consider?veis nas taxas de mortalidade para o Brasil entre o ?ltimo per?odo observado e o ?ltimo per?odo projetado. A estrutura e o tamanho da popula??o brasileira ser?o os fatores que explicar?o os padr?es de mortalidade por esses c?nceres no futuro, embora para a regi?o nordeste, as varia??es ser?o explicadas, em maior medida, pelo aumento do risco para esses c?nceres. Conclui-se, portanto, que existe uma marcante desigualdade na distribui??o da mortalidade pelos c?nceres espec?ficos ao g?nero no Brasil, onde as regi?es mais pobres apresentam um quadro de aumento significativo do n?mero de ?bitos ao longo de uma s?rie hist?rica, e que em 2030, essas regi?es responder?o pelas maiores taxas de mortalidade no pa?s, com ?nfase para os c?nceres de p?nis, test?culos e ov?rios.

“The power of sex to dominate and the ability of power to obtain sex in order to dominate” is at the crux of the researchers’ investigation. The researcher problematizes the usage of power for the attainment of sexual favours. At the heart of this research is the question, what is at the root of the exploitation and “sexifying” of power by either the granter or the recipients of sexual favours. The researcher utilises various lenses in exploring the research problem. Such lenses include a social lens which zooms in at the social power possessed by men over women in society and a theological lens which zooms in on the domination of men over women in scripture. In an attempt to explore the subject at hand, the author explores the role of patriarchy, unequal opportunities between men and women and poverty as some of the primary proponents for those who offer themselves as sex objects to those in power. In most cases, it is women who are at the suffering end of poverty; it is also women who are forced to use their bodies for sex, this, therefore, means that women are doubly oppressed. Part of the socialised “sexual oppression” of women is the notion that women were created for marriage, work, labour and the pleasure of men. Anthropologically, men and women are the crown of creation and are worthy of dignity. It is, therefore, a necessity for women to reclaim their dignity. The researcher is aware of the complex nature of sex which varies from negative to positive experiences depending on the individual. In a society that views sex as a commodity and is permissive in its perception of sex, in a society that has a high rate of pornography, swinging and swapping. The researcher probes the “humanising” of sex so that it is not just a physical activity but an intimate act of love and affection. The principles for the above involves viewing sex as personal and relational; sex as exclusive and unique; sex as fruitful and productive; sex and selfless and sacrificial and an acknowledgement of sex as multi-dimensional. Though the writer comes from a religious background and is the Wesleyan tradition, though she converses with a faith community in Eersterust as part of her quantitative research; she does not evade confronting the reality of the bible as a document flawed with patriarchy, clothed in culture and set in a particular context. The author who is Wesleyan draws from this rich heritage and compares the times of John Wesley which were characterised by, “Champagne, dice or a neighbour’s spouse” to the South African context. She utilises the Wesleyan quadrilateral to draw these parallels. All these findings led the author to the conclusion that conversations, training, safe space and capacitating of those in power, those abusing power, those attracted to power must be held for the restoration of human dignity with particular reference to women. The church remains a powerful and efficient platform for the above. The Church can no longer evade her role in rectifying the damage caused by patriarchy as assumedly condoned by the bible. The church can no longer evader her role in the restoration of human dignity. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
