Occupational toxicology in the paper industry aims to study the occupational risks of exposure to chemical, physical and biological compounds used in the workplace, in addition to helping and preventing the possible appearance of adverse effects on the health of workers due to exposure to themselves. The pulp and paper industries use several chemical agents in the production of packaging, demanding attention to handling due to their toxic action, currently research in this area is scarce. In turn, this article sought to demonstrate, through questionnaires and chemical analysis, contamination by hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in workers during their work activity in a paper industry located in southern Brazil. Seeking to increase the studies, the workers' knowledge about the agents was investigated, as well as the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the contamination of these individuals with the aforementioned agents. To achieve these objectives, interviews were applied to employees from four different shifts and the clothes were analyzed after the end of the shift through titration and pHmetry analysis. The results of the analyzes showed a lack of awareness among the workers, evidence of contamination and traces of sodium hydroxide on the employees' clothing. These results imply reflection on the indispensability of personal protective equipment. Highlighting the need for the routine use of PPE, as well as offering the necessary qualification for workers, in order to prevent and minimize occupational accidents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, organizations face strong competition, making it essential to look for new ways of operating in the market. One of the strategies they use to survive is to internationalize their businesses. Given its importance, the aim of this research was to draw up an overview of publications on internationalization on the Scopus scientific database, considering the time frame from January 2013 to December 2023. The research, which took a quantitative approach, searched for papers with the word "internationalization" in the title, abstract and keywords in the Scopus database using the RStudio, Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny tools. To this end, we opted for a study characterized as bibliometric research using data collected from the databases. At the end of the collection, the corpus of the research was 40 articles, including articles from national and international journals. It can be said that the topic needs more research due to its importance for organizations. It was also observed that most of the papers published in these databases are concentrated in Brazil and Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The city can be understood as a space where capitalist and patriarchal logics are materialized, engendering symbolic barriers and socio-spatial segregation. Within this context, this paper addresses territoriality of the LGBTIQ+ population at the urban scale It is part of a broader reflection within an ongoing Master's dissertation. The research aims to identify these Territories through clipping of journalistic news and to gather them in a cartography. Finally, this paper was produced as an effort to continue researches that give voice to a population that is often disrespected, forgotten, brutalized, killed, and erased by our society.

This paper aims to analyze the impact of lockdown on education in the context of social acceleration. In this paper, we address the necessary (re)construction required to enhance the education of adolescents. From this perspective, it examines the potential of the adolescent brain, as advocated by Daniel Siegel. The present study employs a bibliographical research methodology to investigate the impact of social acceleration on education in the aftermath of the lockdown. We emphasize that the adolescent phase is crucial for the development of potentials in the educational context. In this vein, a philosophical analysis of the school is conducted, highlighting it as a space for (re)constructing practices that encourage adolescents to listen to the world around them. Therefore, the school must illuminate the potential of adolescence, such as creativity and openness to novelty, as a space for (re)creating subjects in times of acceleration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to analyze the investment of government take -- royalties and special participation - arising from exploration of natural resources, especially oil, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons, in education, as carried out by the Municipalities from Costa Verde, Médio Paraíba and South-Central Region from the State of Rio de Janeiro in 2018. From bibliographic and document research, we analyzed the information available at the State General Accounting Office of Rio de Janeiro, Transparency and/or Municipal Finance Department websites. This paper shows, among other results, that 12 (48%) of the 25 Municipalities comprising the three regions under this research do not have any evidence of paying education expenses with funds from these revenues. Thus, it is observed that there are many challenges regarding the proper application of revenues from government participation of natural resources in education in the country.

Although the oral expression in a foreign language represents the objective of some students, for many reasons, it is constantly excluded from the classes in basic education. Nonetheless the didactic collections need to include this kind of activities for the approval of the PNLD (“Programa Nacional do Livro Didático”). Starting this situation, this paper analyses the treatment given to the oral expression by the High School Spanish collections approved in the PNLD 2018. We take into account the papers of Lima (2011) and Pinho (2017) to reinforce the importance that students give to orality, and also the official documents to analyze the need of including orality in the oral speech in high school classes”. After analyzing the three collections approved by PNLD 2018, we can observe that one of them doesn’t effectively deal with the orality, instead, it just presents some situations in which orality can be present. The other two collections, on the other hand, present specific sections for the work with the oral expression, and present, as a matter of fact, several positive aspects, such as the work with various genders, and a practice realized from didactic sequences, with stages of preparation, presentation in small groups, review and presentation in the whole class.

This paper is a partial result of a CNPq-supported study focused on the memory of the future in the steampunk theatricality. Based on researchers of Social and Human Sciences who aim at the theoretical field of memory and communication, including the studies of oral and visual culture, the objective of this paper is analyze how the memory of the future is formed. A combination of several methodologies, methods and techniques is applied: the flânerie practiced in steampunk events for elaborating interviews, photographic and videographic images, as well as bibliographical and desk researches. We hope to demonstrate that in this theatricality, the memory of the future is formed by visual, vocal and verbal intertwinement perceived in the resulted materialities: oral narratives, the creation of garments and objects, the retrotypes, delivering retrofuturistic heterotopic visualities.

There is a gap of empirical studies about the economic incentives and funding models of disinformation industries and initiatives in Brazil. The objective of this paper is to offer an analysis of programmatic advertisements that are displayed in stories from the far-right website Terra Brasil Notícias. To do this, we developed a native ad data scraping script from the MGID company, composing a database of 27,602 insertions over the course of a month. We found a farm network of content and ads containing viruses, gambling houses, financial scams, and miraculous body weight reduction substances. At the end of the paper, we discuss the contributions to the literature on misinformation and point to avenues for future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This article aimed to analyze the effects of CPC 06 (R2) - Leases adoption on the rents line of the Value-Added Statement (VAS) and on the percentage of value-added distributed as rents. Methodology: The approach of this paper is quantitative, and the data collection method is documental. The sample is composed by merchants listed on B3. Analysis of variations and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were applied on the VAS rent line and on the percentage of valueadded distributed as rents of these companies in the three-year period after (2019-2021) and before (2016-2018) the CPC 06 (R2) adoption. Results: It was identified that, after the CPC 06 (R2) adoption, there was a significant reduction in the values of the VAS rent line and in the percentage of value-added distributed as rents of the sample companies. This occurred because companies have been allocating payments of the same economic nature (compensation to third parties for the use of their capital) in three different lines in the VAS, namely rent, depreciation and interest. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated statistically significant differences in the average value of the VAS rents line and in the average percentage of value-added distributed as rents in the three-year period after the implementation of CPC 06 (R2) compared to the previous three-year period. Contributions of the Study: The paper contributes to the literature about leases and VAS, being pioneer in the analysis of the effects of leases on this statement after the CPC 06 (R2) adoption. It also helps users of accounting information to understand the effects of leases on the VAS and properly interpret the lines affected by CPC 06 (R2). Finally, it contributes to regulatory authorities, because indicates a potential need to revise the VAS standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new configurations of productive restructuring in poultry farming in the town were discussed, as well as the producer and agribusiness relations and the possibilities of restructuring this program for the integration of poultry producers. The methodological path of the research is qualitative, consisting of the following steps: theoretical, documental, and field research. Semi-structured interviews were carried out for data collection. The illustrations used in this paper were: photos and maps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from a movement of attraction and repulsion between the ideas of Mário de Andrade and Walter Benjamin on cinema, in this paper are presented simultaneities in the reflection of both authors on the new art. With this aim, it develops a reflected reading of Mario's essays of the 1920s, contrasting with the Benjaminian discussion of the following decade. Although conceptually about Art as Photography the author are not in agreement each other --about a new aesthetic sensitivity that is established in modernity where the image begins to place itself as an aesthetic foundation even in non-cinematographic--, Benjamin's analytical hypothesis may sustain a reading of a novel like Macunaíma, by Mario. Then, the paper discusses the tension in the Brazilian essayist and novelist Oeuvre, paying attention to how Art as Photography stands as power in its own aesthetics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Heart diseases are potentially fatal pathologies considered a risk factor for anxiety disorders. This paper aims to present a systematic literature review on anxiety in cardiology. Five databases were selected: SciElo, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and PubMed. The descriptors "cardiologia" and "ansiedade" and their equivalents in English, "anxiety" and "cardiology" were used. The inclusion criteria were papers published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish between 2017 and 2021. Twenty-six studies were selected, and four topics stood out: socio-demographic profile; anxiety and cardiac rehabilitation; anxiety-related risk and protective factors; and anxiety and depression. The results indicate that healthy anxiety levels play a protective role in promoting patient self-care. However, maladaptive anxiety levels hinder patients from coping with the disease.

This article is a theoretical study arising from the umbrella research project, Psychoanalytic Investigation of Clinical Phenomena in Depression in the Context of COVID-19, by the Laboratory for the Investigation of Contemporary Psychopathologies (UFF. Volta Redonda Campus), in an inter-institutional partnership with the Graduate Program in Psychology at UFRJ. The aim of the research is to demarcate and define the effects of the contemporary mutation of the social bond on subjectivity, based on the recognition that humanitarian/sanitary emergencies are catastrophic for subjective functioning. In this paper, we will present the Freudian démarche that led us to recognize melancholization as the main impact of humanitarian/sanitary emergencies on subjective functioning. The paper recalls the use of the term catastrophe and its epistemological status within the framework of psychoanalysis. This term is fundamental to our research hypothesis: humanitarian/sanitary emergencies are a catastrophe because they produce the civilizational ruin of guarantees for the affected population and the suspension of the functioning of subjective defences and sublimatory strategies for dealing with the condition of helplessness. By considering humanitarian/sanitary emergencies as a catastrophe, the paper highlights, in the line of argument developed by Sigmund Freud, the emergence of the affect of despondency or melancholization as pathos in dark times of humanitarian/sanitary emergencies.

This text proposes an appreciation of Orlando Ribeiro's writing, combining Luís Vaz de Camões' literature and geography. Based on the geographer's work, the discussion highlights the relations between the notable poet's writing and his travels, places and observations of his environment. In this context, the central objective is to revisit the article "Camões and Geography" and answer the questions raised, e.g., what is the investigative ability to understand Camões and its geography? This paper is based on bibliographical research, a methodology focused on the critical analysis of texts. When analysing Ribeiro's text, results comprehend the relation between the legacy and the fates "Verdes são os campos" and "Soneto Andreia", poems by Camões. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we present a categorization of autonomies implemented by indigenous and peasant movements in Latin America into three types: a) juridical versus de facto autonomies; b) explicit versus implicit autonomies; and c) (mono)ethnic versus popular or class-based autonomies. We argue that the debate concerning these different conceptions is of strategic importance both in the dialogue between indigenous and peasant struggles for the defense of territories, and in the question of peasant autonomy, understood as a strategy of struggle.

The present paper aims at analyzing the polysemy of the Darwinian concept of adaptation in High School Biology textbooks approved in the 2015 Brazilian National Textbook Program. As a theoretical-methodological tool, we used a semantic matrix containing systematized ontological and epistemological dimensions that provided the bases for the proposition of zones in a Conceptual Profile model of the adaptation concept. The analyses showed that the frequent use of the concept of adaptation in addressing contents from Zoology, Botany, Paleontology, and Physiology reinforced the integrative and central role of Evolution in school discourse. A utilitarian notion of adaptation as a state of being or to refer to characteristics of living beings prevailed among the recording units, in which functionality showed up as a sufficient condition to define them as adaptations, independently of their origin by natural selection. This way of presenting adaptations can lead the students to relegate the role of natural selection in their explanation to a second plane, or even to neglect it entirely, or to an understanding of it as a natural process that necessarily acts to produce characteristics appropriate to the current conditions of the environment. Several approaches involving the concept of adaptation emphasized the notions of goal and purpose, from a teleological perspective. The recurrent use of such teleological explanations may be associated with the fact that this way of thinking is rather common in cognitive activities, such that its use might be justified by the expectation that a language based on it might have heuristic value in the students' conceptual evolution. Nevertheless, there is a necessity of grounding these explanations properly, from an evolutionary and/or organizational approach to living systems, such that modes of thinking incompatible with scientific understanding in contemporary biology are not promoted. This brings about difficulties that are potentially hard to confront in high school, especially if we consider the general absence in teacher education of an appropriate grounding of valid teleological explanations under the light of contemporary biological thinking.

This paper presents a theoretical reflection on the fundamentals of using financial profitability as a performance indicator and on the contribution of state-owned enterprises to social wellbeing. In specific terms, it is intended to provide greater familiarity with academic discussions on the subject, to understand the limitations of transposing performance metrics of enterprises that pursue the greatest possible financial return for their shareholders, in measuring the performance of state-owned enterprises that in addition to pursuing economic objectives, they also pursue social, political and even national security objectives. The central question of the research is: does greater financial profitability reflect a good performance and contribution of state-owned enterprises to social well-being? In the search for the answer to the research question, a qualitative study was carried out through technical procedures of bibliographic research with a focus on critical content analysis. The conclusion of the research is that a high financial return does not always represent an efficient use of public resources and, therefore, a good performance of state-owned enterprises. Government policies, including those on setting and reviewing prices, the monopolistic nature in which some public companies operate can camouflage operational inefficiencies by companies, with high economic and social costs that are borne by the citizen.

This paper aimed to map the studies published in journals on occupational stress in the Brazilian public security forces in the period between 2018 - 2023, highlighting the stressors, the consequences of stress and the actions taken to prevent it. For this purpose, a bibliometric and systematic review was carried out, using the ProKnow-C method, considering the articles published in the Spell and Scielo databases of the studied period. The results demonstrated the concentration of studies published in the South, Southeast and Midwest regions. The main stressors identified were pressure, high workload, accumulation of functions, low pay, lack of autonomy, discrimination and favoritism in the workplace. The consequences of stress include physical and psychological impairment, reduced quality of life and burnout. Some of the preventive actions are increasing rest time between shifts and psychological monitoring and treatment. Despite the results, it is concluded that stress in public security forces is still little investigated in Brazil, both by academia and by the police institutions themselves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I present the results of ethnographic research that analyzes the social effects on peasant communities (dedicated to working the land and fishing in the river) due to the delivery of compensation and the carrying out of works for the installation of the hydroelectric dam "El Quimbo", located in the inter-Andean valleys of the Upper Magdalena River basin, in Huila, Colombia. Those lands were flooded in 2015, and affected people received different treatments that changed their relationships with the land, the river and their communities. Thus, the theoretical contribution of the article lies in the dialogue between ecological economics and economic anthropology, hence I describe the effects of restricting to a value paid in cash or measured in productivity regarding the social value of the elements present in the territory (land, river, forest) and community relations. Methodologically, six standard-situations were constructed inductively based on interviews and conversations collected in fieldwork that covered various moments between 2010 and 2021. The six standard-situations evince the effects on the social positions of affected groups: some partially reproduced their relations with the land; some began a situation of new subordination; and others were expropriated from the reproduction of their previous social relations. I complemented the article with secondary sources based on a review of archives, newspapers, and public documents of the company and the social movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The discussion delves into the entrepreneurial education experience at the University of Texas-Austin, aiming to extend comprehension beyond formal courses and programs. It incorporates the impact of collective practices involving objects, students, teachers, and staff. Drawing on the Actor-Network Theory, the paper presents results from a case study conducted between June 2022 and April 2023, providing partial insights into the context in which UT-Austin and its programs operate. The theoretical contribution illustrates entrepreneurship education as a phenomenon encompassing a broad network of actors and diverse relationships, generating effects not confined by formalized intentions.

Background: Transmissible venereal tumour (TVT), also called Sticker Tumour, is a round cell tumour whose transmission occurs mainly through sexual contact between animals or direct transplantation of the neoplastic cell through licking or through direct contact with the lesioned area. TVT is the most common tumor found in stray dogs and predominantly affects the genital area and, in case of bitches, occurs in the vagina and foreskin, as well as the oral and nasal cavities. Intracavitary TVT is rarely reported. The aim of this paper is to report a case of an old neutered bitch affected by vaginal and intracavitary TVT, treated at the Veterinary School Clinic (CVE) of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Curitibanos campus, Brazil. Case: An approximately 10-year-old mixed breed bitch, weighing 18,5 kg and, neutered 2 years previously at the same institution, was brought by her owner, who reported dyskinesia, constipation, and serosanguinous vaginal discharge for a few weeks. Physical examination showed a row of 4 smooth, round masses with a soft consistency ranging from 1 to 2 cm at the bottom of the vaginal roof. The patient was referred for an ultrasound (US) and a vaginal swab was taken for cytological examination, whose result demonstrated TVT. The result of the US scan showed a heterogeneously shaped structure, with a more hypoechogenic center in relation to the periphery and irregular contours, measuring around 2.63 x 6.10 cm, in the uterine topography caudally to the bladder. Exploratory laparotomy was performed with total removal of the mass, which was surrounding the proximal urethra, and the material was sent for histological and cytological analysis, whose both results indicated TVT. Chemotherapy was then initiated, with 6 intravenous administrations of vincristine (0.5 mg/m2) with an interval of 15 days between each administration. The animal underwent a total of 6 chemotherapy sessions, without complete improvement of the vaginal tumours. A 2nd chemotherapy protocol based on doxorubicin was suggested, which was not accepted by the owner. Three months after the end of the original chemotherapy protocol, the patient was assessed again and it was found that there had been no progression of the vaginal masses on vaginal palpation and no signs of recurrence of the intracavitary mass on ultrasound. Discussion: TVT is a venereal tumor that affects almost 100% of non-neutered animals, males and females. In the case of bitches, the most common sites are the vagina (53%), vulva (13%) and extragenital areas (14%). This animal had no intracavitary mass at the time of her castration 2 years earlier. At the time of diagnosis, she had the extragenital form of the tumor, consisting of an intra-abdominal mass, in addition to the genital masses in the vaginal roof. The chemotherapy drug vincristine is the drug of choice for the treatment of transmissible venereal tumors, due to its high efficacy associated with 4 to 6 sessions. However, in this case, there was no total improvement, so it was classified as a case of proven pharmacological resistance as the chemotherapy was ineffective for the complete regression of the tumor. It was therefore concluded that the occurrence of intracavitary TVTs, although rare, warrants a thorough physical examination combined with diagnostic tools such as ultrasound and histology, even in castrated old patients.

Background: Longitudinal patellar fractures are uncommon in veterinary orthopedics routine. These fractures directly affect pelvic limb movements and can result in joint incongruity and potentially degenerative joint disease. Surgical repair is necessary to preserve the quadriceps extensor mechanism and reduce possible complications. This paper describes the clinical status of a cat suffering from a longitudinal patellar fracture, the surgical procedure used to repair and stabilize the bone, and the postoperative outcomes during the animal's different healing phases. Case: One cat with a longitudinal patellar fracture of the left pelvic limb was treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The patient was diagnosed based on physical and radiographic examinations of the affected pelvic limb. Under anesthesia, the patella was subjected to osteosynthesis using cerclage wire and to trochlear sulcoplasty to prevent luxation. The veterinarian recommended postoperative rest and basic care involving hygiene of the surgical wound. After 60 days, the cat was brought back to the hospital for radiographic reassessment to verify the osseous consolidation of the patella. The X-ray exam revealed non-consolidation of the bone fragments, despite the cemented implant and the proper joining of the fragments. However, although the fracture did not consolidate, the animal exhibited clinical improvement of its lameness. Discussion: Longitudinal fractures are rare and the literature contains few reports about them. It is believed that cats are more likely to present longitudinal fractures after direct blows that cause compression of the patella over the trochlear groove, since the patella in this species is relatively wider and smoother than that of dogs. The literature still lacks a clear description of the causal mechanism of longitudinal fractures; however, but the main causes may vary according to the clinical presentation. The choice of the best method to treat patellar fractures still poses a challenge, since several methods have been described, depending on how the fracture presents. Regardless of the choice of treatment, the techniques for surgical repair of patellar fractures must involve the following steps: the fracture must be reduced, the fragments kept in apposition until the fracture closes, the soft tissues are healed, and the knee function restored. The cat's patellar fracture was repaired with cerclage wire to restore its anatomical normality, reducing the fracture and stabilizing the bone fragments in order to immobilize them and ensure proper better bone healing. Maintenance and approximation of the lateral fragment of the longitudinal fracture, in conjunction with sulcoplasty, were proposed to ensure greater contact between the patella and the trochlear groove, thereby reducing the possibility of luxation. Despite the non-consolidation of the fracture, the fragment remained intact and immobile, and no post-surgical complications were reported. This confirmed the success of the technique employed to bring together the patellar fragments of the lateral longitudinal fracture, even in the absence of bone callus formation. Moreover, the technique proved to be simple and resulted in complete joint stability after 60 days. This is therefore an important tool for patellar fractures, whose lateral longitudinal fragment was retained, allowing for correct approximation and fragment immobilization, without the need for excision by partial patellectomy.

This paper presents the results of a theoretical-bibliographical and conceptual research on the didactic-pedagogical elements that make up technicism and neotechnicism in Brazilian education. Through the formulations that support these conceptions, we sought to analyze the conceptualization of the place of techniques and technologies used to justify their use in educational work. It is concluded that there is a need to overcome these conceptions as a contribution to a human formation that aims at the active insertion of the subject in social practice to transform it.

This paper aims to reflect on the use of cyberspace in the construction of research methodologies in Art Education, Cultural Mediation and Museum Education, focusing the analysis on an experience carried out during the Covid 19 pandemic for the development of a master's thesis. Based on the methodological principles of participatory research, the action led to the construction of collaborative laboratories using Blogger and Instagram platforms, privileging the actions of the participants in proposing educational actions and exchanging knowledge among themselves. The analysis showed that the participants' creations in cyberspace is an exercise of educational reflection on arts and cultures, differentiating themselves from communication and visual marketing content that are commonly found in the virtual environments of cultural institutions.

This paper seeks to understand the extent to which the local curriculum impacts on the appreciation of cultural diversity, aiming to elucidate the relationship between the local curriculum and cultural diversity in the Mozambican school environment. Therefore, bibliographical research was carried out, highlighting Sengulane (2022), Nivagara (2018), Santos (2018), Zanin and Lemke (2017), Ibraimo and Cabral (2015), Santiago (2012), Dias (2010) and Capece (2005). A product of this research was the understanding that the teacher must be able to enhance, through the local curriculum, the cultural diversity of students, in favor of raising the quality of teaching and learning, and the need for educators to create, in fact, the practice of diversity in teaching and not contenting itself with valuing it discursively.

The aim of this paper is to analyze educational indicators in the state of Paraíba related to Special Education in the countryside. The analysis was based on data from Basic Education School Census of the 2021, in relation to the distribution of enrollments of students who are the target audience of Special Education in the 14 Regional Education Managements by condition and administrative dependence, the accessibility of schools and the formation of teachers. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, using descriptive statistics. The results showed that there is a lack of trained teachers, services and resources of the Special Education modality and accessibility conditions in schools in the countryside. It is concluded that the right to a quality education is not yet effective for the target audience of Special Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is aimed at investigating which commemorative practices were mobilized to celebrate the Children's Week in the Park School of Brasília between 1960 and 1971. The privileged empirical corpus consists of news about the celebrations of the Children's Week in the Park School published in the newspaper Correio Braziliense. In methodological terms, the onomastic method of Carlo Ginzburg was used. The results indicate that in the period under consideration, the practices aimed at demarcating and celebrating the Children's Week in the Park School may be categorized into three groups: artistic practices, school practices, and sports practices. They were, at the same time, celebratory and educational, as they were intended to inculcate certain habits, behaviors, and attitudes, producing certain models of children to be made visible and praised through this school celebration.

Strategic environmental assessment (EAE) is a tool that allows the approach of territorial and environmental issues from the perspective of strategic planning and whose incidence is given in policies, projects, plans or programs. A transcendental aspect within the EAE is that it should seek the participation of diverse social and institutional actors, given the impact that some indicators can generate. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present some challenges and contributions for the approach to participation based on the experience of the EAE for the World Heritage Site Cordillera de Talamanca Reserves - La Amistad International Park (Costa Rica) developed by ProDUS-UCR in 2021. This process was carried out through two modalities: virtual and face-to-face, in which techniques such as surveys, telephone interviews, virtual meetings and workshops were used to generate spaces for discussion, validation and proposal generation from a participatory perspective. During the research, it was seen how contemplating cultural, ethnic, age and gender aspects allows to encourage even more participation, especially when this within the SEA is of utmost importance since it allows this and similar processes to be more in line with the needs of the population and place, there is an even greater appropriation process, the proposals are better contextualized and the population becomes an active agent and generator of proposals for its own environment.

Erva Brava, a work by the Brazilian writer and journalist Paulliny Tort, published by Fósforo in 2021, is at the same time a portrait of a region and a time not so far from the empirical reality of the reader. Although representing contemporary clippings of the common problems to the interior universe — such as the concentration of large estates, poor working conditions, the precariousness of public policies, and the destruction of the environment —, the narratives explore issues that go beyond the regional sphere: the process of modernization and the constant tension between tradition and modernity; themes to be explored in this paper.

This paper is focused on the theme of gamification applied to education, specifically in the Portuguese Language in the final years of Elementary School. Gamification is a modern concept that has sparked interest due to the advantages it can bring in various application areas. This concept involves applying game characteristics and dynamics in nongame contexts, aiming to stimulate and involve students in tasks to provide certain learnings. This study aims to integrate the concepts of teaching and learning of Portuguese language grammar with gamification. To do so, the theoretical framework of this research draws on the contributions of scholars in the field of gamification and the teaching of Portuguese language grammar. Thus, through a gamified process in the teaching of Portuguese language, we aim to encourage the student's participation and active engagement with the learning of their native language and, in this way, motivate them to want to learn and actively participate in the teaching-learning process. The implication of this study is that gamification should be used in Portuguese Language classes as an active methodology that can trigger actions and enable dynamic and successful learning for the student.

The paper’s aim is to relate some Portuguese-language contemporary poetry to the most relevant technological phenomenon in the last decades, the computer and digital revolution. Three hypotheses to proceed with such approach are proposed: a) the machine as a poetry-generator, executing the poet’s developed project, as in the work of Antero de Alda and André Vallias; b) the incorporation of tech universe in socalled traditional poetry, such as in the exploitation of barcodes in Manuel de Freitas’ Isilda ou a nudez dos códigos de barra, or the appropriation of advertisement and joke in a visual poem by Patricia Lino, or the cloning of e-mail format in Fabiano Calixto’s correspondence poems; and c) the usage of video platforms and social networks as a means of broadcasting and distributing poetry, especially YouTube, in which formats as videopoem and battle rap registers have become common.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationships between memory, violence, and social inscription of the subject in the novel A verdade de Chindo Luz, by Joaquim Arena, and, based on these points, draw some considerations about the representations of colonialism in the work and its consequences for a state of psychic suffering and non-identitarian belonging of the characters. Joaquim Arena’s novel revolves around a group of Cape Verdean immigrants in Portugal, more specifically focused on the Luz family, which arrived in the country between 1977 and 1978, the only black people in the neighborhood. The structure of the narrative is similar to a detective story, where, from the beginning, mysteries are presented that need to be solved. However, more than the mysteries and their solution in relation to the police investigation, the approach intended here aims to discuss the testimony beyond the legal aspects, in its function of symbolic elaboration of trauma. To do this, it is intended to use authors such as Tzvetan Todorov as theoretical support to discuss narrative structures and the specificities of the detective novel. In addition, authors such as Michele Simondon, Márcio Seligmann-Silva, Sigmund Freud, Vilém Flusser, Cathy Caruth, and Walter Benjamin will be used to think about the relationship between trauma, memory, and testimony in its aspect of symbolic elaboration of extreme events and identitarian belonging.

This paper studies the transfictionalization devices involved in adapting the novel Aparição (1959), by Vergílio Ferreira, to cinema, directed by Fernando Vendrell (Aparição, 2018) and scripted by Fátima Ribeiro and João Milagre. The interest is on the process of transcoding from one communicative system to another, and its consequent potential for (re)interpretation and (re)creation (HUTCHEON, 2011) of the novel. Recognizing the difficulty of transporting a worldview of a reflective, metaphysical, existentialist nature like Ferreira’s to cinema, I start from the analysis of filmic semiotics, focusing on the way in which history, time, space, characters are transfigured in the sense of refocus some axes themes of the “original” work. Among the aspects that receive new critical-thematic vigor in the film is the representation of women in a conservative, patriarchal society, in the context of the Salazar dictatorship. This representation is highlighted, greatly, in the gender performances (BUTLER, 1998) that give survival (REIS, 2018) to the characters Sofia and Ana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the history of Brazilian literature, the representation of local color has always occupied a central place. In view of this, literary criticism praised realistic fiction, highlighting the documentary tone, to the detriment of the supernatural. Gabrielli (2002, p. 25) states that "the presence of fantastic literature among us; its penetration both among critics and the general public has been, since 1947, the year of release of Murilo Rubião's O ex-mágico e outros contos, of overwhelming scarcity". França (2017a) and others emphasize that the identity construction project suffocated literature away from realistic fabulation. In this sense, this paper aims to map a repertoire of Brazilian fantastic short stories produced from the second half of the 20th century, forgotten by literary critics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Advances in the past few decades have led to a radical transformation in how healthcare systems, communities, and individuals approach the concepts of well-being, health, and disease. Today, it is possible to access an infinite amount of data with the potential to diagnose, predict, prevent, and personalize disease treatment. The digital transformation generates a huge demand for the development and management of health information systems. At the same time, effective communication of medical information is one of the critical points for the person-centred care approach, to generate value and reduce waste. In the face of complex social challenges, interprofessional collaboration between design and health is already seen as indispensable. With the aim of contributing to the debate on information design for health in Brazil, this paper presents an overview of the area, discusses the current challenges of the health sector and the synergies with information design. It concludes that participatory approaches, performance evaluations and a greater link between information design and service design are important for the creation of more sustainable collaboration strategies between the areas, to increase the social impact of design research in Brazil.

This paper presents a snippet of a research that investigated the media memory regarding the influence of the press during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship present on Chumbo Quente, television series shown in 2014, on the 50th anniversary of the civil-military coup of 1964, produced by the program Observatório da Imprensa, which was presented by Alberto Dines, an intellectual in Brazilian journalism. The context of creation and exhibition of this production was influenced by the work of the National Commission of Truth, established by Law n° 12.528/2011 and which final report resulted in fiery debates in society. In that regard, we analyzed three testimonies that show up in the mentioned series whose stories intertwined with a sense of reparation and justice: the lawyer Lygia Jobim, the journalist Hildegard Angel and the ex-commissioner of the Department of Political and Social Order (Dops) Cláudio Guerra. We started with the analysis of "Chumbo Quente" as an audiovisual testimony and also with the interviews with members of Observatório da Imprensa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Th is paper is part of a research that I called "Amazon Rainforest of the Dictatorship". In this attempt, I defined the colonization policy (settlement of workers on the Transamazon Highway) as the synthesis policy of the dictatorship in the Amazon Rainforest. Next, I present part of the history of this colonization. For that, I divided the text below into two topics: displacement and assistance. Each topic deals with an action of the colonization policy. The Transamazon colonization scheme required to move workers to the new region, especially those from the Northeast. On the other hand, in order to install these workers, the government had to set up a welfare program in those locations. Here, I will highlight the assistance related to the formal education of the settlers, their children, people who arrived in the Amazon Rainforest between the developmental project of the military government in the 1970s.

This paper addresses the theme of communications between the province of Mato Grosso and the Atlantic through the territory of the province of Paraná, using as sources, preferably, the reports of the presidents of the two provinces, and having as a background the concerns of the Brazilian national state due to the remote and border condition of Mato Grosso. It is shown that the routes sought were initially terrestrial-fluvial and, later, rail-fluvial, and that the leaders of Paraná had a greater interest in such communications than their counterparts in Mato Grosso. In addition to envisioning the possibility of Paraná becoming the "emporium" of Mato Grosso commerce, those leaders also sought the benefits brought to their province by the central government's investments in roads to Mato Grosso.

This paper promotes a critical study of a specific kind of theoretical approach that is often associated with archival literature. The object of our criticism is Marco Codebò's Narrating from the Archive. Novels, Records, and Bureaucrats in the Modern Age. Through a materialist method, we aim to tackle the archival literary trope not as a 19th century tendency born out of the need to constitute a discursive formation of truth, but rather as a useful device to represent a recently consolidated bourgeois sociability. In order to do that, we engage in a dialogue with Codebò's analyses of two 19th century "archival novels": Balzac's Colonel Chabert, and Flaubert's Bouvard and Pécuchet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to make a small revision of the literature on rural domestic animals and wild ones in Brazilian cities from the perspective of an anthropology of human-animal relations. To this, we add some new ethnographic data, collected individually or together, which aim to cast a light on the idea of a city set apart from the 'natural world', as if there were no entanglements and intersections between humans and the wild fauna in contemporary cities. We want to believe that the animal life is also part of the urban landscapes, and that we build together these landscapes with multiple more-than-humans ecologies in an urban context. In this sense, the cities present themselves as the lace of an oykos of interactions and living with the urban fauna (domesticated, tamed or wild), and also with the flora (also domesticated, tamed and wild), along with other organisms in an ecological context that produces plural environments, instead of cities that onli mean the place of the anthropos.

Polls in the first round of Brazil's 2022 presidential election diverged from the official results, leading to criticisms that they made mistakes. This paper examines an alternative explanation: that actual changes in vote intentions occurred between the polls and election day. Although unpopular, this explanation finds theoretical support in the scholarship based on two main processes: strategic voting and delayed decision-making. Using an experiment conducted a week before the election, we show how undecided voters and voters for less competitive candidacies displayed high propensity to change their minds after watching campaign videos. We also use data from one of the last polls conducted before the election to develop models that identify voters most prone to late swings in vote choice and reallocate such votes to adjust vote estimates. The results suggest that late swings in vote intentions can be a more than plausible phenomenon in recent Brazilian elections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The topic of this paper is the fascist ideology and how to study it from a historicist and realist perspective. The first section discusses the existence of a fascist ideology, contradicting interpretations that reject the originality of the movement. The second presents the main contemporary interpretations on the matter. And the third proposes a methodology that interprets the beliefs from the perspective of the intellectual context in which they were produced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to estimate the scale and shape parameters of the Weibull Probability Density Function (PDF) to analyze the wind distribution in the city of Macaé, RJ. The wind study covered the meteorological stations in the following locations: Glória, Estrada de Morro Grande, Miramar, Mirante da Lagoa, Parque Aeroporto, and Trapiche, considering different seasons of the year from autumn 2021 to summer 2022. After performing statistical analyses on the databases, the coefficients of the PDF were optimized to better fit the histograms columns, plotted individually for each region. Additionally, the research evaluated the seasonal behavior of each area. As a result, it was inferred which urban applications of wind resource exploitation can be recommended for each locality, based, among other factors, on the estimated wind power developed for an average wind turbine.

This paper analyzes the representations of memory about the city of Picos-PI, in the 1980s and 1990s. It focuses the discussions on the issue of work, as well as on the spaces of sociability and leisure in the city. It is based on oral sources, with reports of elderly residents of the city and bibliographic studies on the history of the city. It makes use of the methodology of Oral History, where the analysis of the data obtained in the interviews was carried out through the crossing and interpretation of the convergent information, mentioned by the interviewees, with a view to achieving the objectives established for this research. The theoretical reflections on the concepts of city, work, elderly and memory are based on dialogue, respectively, with Pesavento (2007), Silva (2006), Camarano (2004) and Bosi (2006), among others. The work pointed out several aspects of work in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the main places of sociability and leisure in the city. He also highlighted the continuation of the work in the "third age" as a contribution to active and healthy aging, enriching the collective experience of the city and strengthening social ties.

In the context of recent educational reforms, the resolution CNE/CP 02/2019 was promulgated, defining the National Curricular Guidelines for Teacher Education, replacing the old Guidelines (Resolution CNE/CP 02/2015), and requiring Higher Education Institutions to reformulate the pedagogical projects of undergraduate courses. The present paper seeks to trace a comparative analysis between the two guidelines, understanding the social, economic and political contexts of their implementation, exposing their similarities and differences, as well as the possible consequences of the modification in the training profile of new teachers. The study carried out here points out that, in general, the current guidelines are more prescriptive and standardizing in relation to their predecessors, besides not bringing elements about continuing education and not talking much about the issue of professional development of teachers. Considering such characteristics and the undemocratic context of its implementation, the current resolution can be seen as a step backwards in Brazilian public educational policies.

This paper aimed to present an analysis of public policies and the universal supply of drinking water in the municipality of Itaituba, in the state of Pará, Brazil. The methodology used was exploratory research, made possible through a bibliographic survey and interviews. In 2017, information from IBGE indicated that 46.53% of households in Itaituba were served with treated water supply services by the state (COSANPA) and municipal (CASITA) agencies. The survey found that 4,140 homes are supplied by CASITA, with untreated water. It was concluded that, in the municipality of Itaituba, public policies are still at a much lower level of execution, estimating that around 50% of the households in Itaituba do not receive drinking water from either agency.

The personal development methodology, coaching, is gaining more and more ground in the corporate environment, especially among professionals who want to make changes to achieve their professional goals. This study carried out coaching sessions with graduating students on the Executive Secretarial course at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), with the aim of boosting their academic results in terms of preparing the Course Conclusion Paper (TCC). The methodological procedures were based on bibliographical research, action research under a qualitative approach, using content analysis for the data collected. In general, the results showed that the students had concerns about their perceptions of their behavioral performance during the development of the CBT. It can be concluded that, after the sessions, there was a change in the behavior of these students, since the coaching process motivated them to develop a better-quality Capstone and to meet the deadlines set by the coordinators, going on to the defense, in which they were all approved. This technique is therefore considered to be an innovative strategy that contributes to reducing retention rates at the university. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
