Urban locations with high centrality are associated with locational advantages, making them more desirable and expensive. There is not a consensus yet on how centrality affects real estate prices for different markets and income groups. In Brazil, this theme is relatively unexplored. This article uses an approach based on urban spatial networks, going beyond simple centrality descriptions considering the distance to the Central Business District (CBD). The objective is to analyse how apartment prices relate to two location attributes: accessibility (relative distance) and centrality (relative importance). Weighted network models are applied at two scales: city-wide and neighbourhoods. The database includes a sample of 400 offers for the sale of used apartments in 2022 and 2023 in Porto Alegre, analysed collectively and segmented into three price classes. Configurational indicators were calculated using the Graph Analysis Urban Networks (GAUS) plugin. Both configurational measures and prices were normalized using the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) technique and correlated in a GIS environment. Results indicate that the most accessible areas of Porto Alegre have higher unit price (per square meter) apartments. Conversely, areas with higher centrality have cheaper properties, likely due to the availability of services and transportation. The more expensive apartments tend to avoid locations with higher centrality values, both globally and at the neighbourhood level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Basic Health Units lack infrastructure to guarantee accessibility for people with disabilities, as they often present inadequacies on public roads and lack of access to the entrance to the facilities. Buildings lacking accessibility create significant obstacles to the health of people with disabilities, providing distance between the individual in need of care and the health unit. Therefore, many challenges are faced by this public, and therefore, the objective is to: Know and characterize the faces and interfaces of accessibility for people with disabilities. Given the knowledge explored, it is known that the National Policy for People with Disabilities is a source of technical and scientific knowledge for those who use it, including health professionals, family members, and people with disabilities. Knowing that access to the Unified Health System (SUS) is the main gateway for these patients, this article is of great importance, as it allows reflection on the topic in question and generates new possibilities for discussion. Including people with disabilities in the decision-making process about their own care is crucial. This means respecting their autonomy, listening to their needs, and ensuring they have understandable information to make informed decisions about their health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between the decades of 1960 and 1990, the family dairy farming activity, a fundamental link in the dairy circuit located in the dairy basin in Buenos Aires province, experienced significant transformations. These were driven by the demands of pasteurization, the mechanization of tasks, the railways decline, the automobile transportation growth, the lower labour demand, changes in dairy demand and the expansion of large diversified plants. Within a context of process of productive change, which role did mobility, in terms of infrastructure and practices, play? How did mobility restrict family dairy production? How did (in)accessibility influence? In order to answer these questions that have not deserved enough historiographical attention, this research describes the daily life of dairy farming families in the General Paz district, with the focus placed on mobility practices and the accessibility problems that made their social reproduction difficult in the mentioned period. To do this, a socio-territorial approach will be used and multiple sources will be compiled and analyzed, such as the press, legislation, statistics, maps and interviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the influence of bank image, accessibility, and customer relationship management on customer satisfaction and loyalty at Islamic banks in Makassar City. The study finds that bank image, accessibility, and customer relationship management have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction and loyalty. The research highlights the importance of prioritizing the image of Islamic banks and customer relationship management in creating customer loyalty. However, awareness and loyalty to Islamic banks in Indonesia are still low, and efforts to increase customer loyalty include improving the bank's image and providing satisfactory customer service. The study suggests that Islamic banks should focus on socializing their products and services, improving accessibility through the availability of ATMs, and increasing the availability of information services to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The paper has as a theoretical framework the diversity management and cultural competence. It aims to identify ways of managing diversity in a public library in the interior of the state of São Paulo, establishing a theoretical reflection between this management and the development of cultural competence in the organization. The relations between the purposes of organizational planning and the actions developed by the library team, was evaluated. The importance of information and communication to promote diversity was identified, and the perception of conflicts in the library was also evaluated. Cultural diversity and cultural competence were considered in the organizational processes. The Case Study research method was applied. The findings consist of the following: the library has a management approach aligned with the goal of being a cultural reference locally for the various cultures, experiences, and subjectivities; library staff itself indicates the library's diversity perception and the importance of representativeness for the development and execution of intercultural projects; the information and communication between the library and the public assist with the commitment of diversity; the library aims to promote activities that help different social groups. The survey concluded that the development of competences at the individual and organizational levels is the solution to achieve coexistence and integration of multicultural groups. Thus, cultural competence demands actions that involve efficient information and communication flows between groups of distinct individuals; this can enhance the diversity management in organizations.

This work presents an extension action involving the topic of pesticides. This theme has been extensively developed, both in teaching and extension activities. However, the differential of the action reported here is that it was all planned to be accessible to the deaf and blind communities, working in a dialogic and critical way (according to Paulo Freire) the Brazilian agricultural development model, especially the intensive use of pesticides. From the documentary “Nuvens de Veneno”, accessible materials were created: Libras window in the documentary; chemical structures of the active ingredients printed in 3D and in high relief with inscriptions in Braille and audio-described; and a printed and audio-described leaflet, contextualizing the problems caused to the environment, human and animal health. All this material was used during the activity at the National Science and Technology Week. The action was carried out both in a booth during the event, at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and in the territory of a state school, during classes of chemistry of six high school classes. During the two days of exhibition at the stand, the activity generated interest from a wide range of audiences, from elementary school children, teachers - who took their classes - as well as a group of deaf students. In the school's territory, the activity moved the classes in a strong way, working on the chemistry of pesticides, social and environmental concerns, including refugee students, with intellectual disabilities, autism and cognitive and intellectual disorders.

This article addresses the barriers of communication and accessibility present in the lives of deaf people in the family, school and teaching practice, considering that the subjects of the research were teachers of Basic Education and Higher Education. Articulated with Deaf Studies, the methodology used was qualitative, and a questionnaire was used for obtaining data. The subjects pointed out that barriers are perceived since the beginning of their trajectories, when the listening family does not master sign language, and occur throughout their student and professional lives. The presence or absence of sign language directly impacts both deaf children and adults, who feel the communication and accessibility barriers in different environments they participate in, when it is relegated [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research deals with the assent of migrant patients in Brazil before medical procedures, observed in the Term of Informed Consent and Federal Council of Medicine recommendation nº 1/2016. It seeks to understand the referred term and propose techniques to improve its writing, starting from the hypothesis of its misunderstanding. A qualitative and hypothetical deductive literature review was carried out. In final considerations, it was observed that there is a right to health for migrants in Brazil, but there is also a loss in their full consent during treatments due to the difficulty of communication.

The process described in this paper aims to improve the urban mobility analysis and planning, such as revealing levels of equity and inclusion of a part of the city and identifying deficiencies in the accessibility to urban facilities related to settings systems of land use and transport. Therefore, a Social Sustainability of Urban Mobility (ssum) approach and Open Source Geographical Information System are applied. The methodology sets two urban facilities' analyses of levels of services to different scales. First, using the Central Places theory, the Metropolitan San Salvador Area is the first scale to analyze. Secondly, it studied the accessibility condition to urban facilities in San Salvador Municipality (Capital city of El Salvador) from Optimal Location Models (olm). Those models allow spatial equity and efficiency indicators. Results are implementing the ssum approach, applying technics of multiscalar analysis, and setting a metropolitan organizational structure which categorizes municipalities by urban facilities' levels of services. In addition, the characterization of municipal accessibility with proxy indicators to vulnerable groups and identifying areas to take action to improve daily mobility have been developed. Finally, a discussion is opened to identify the following steps to improve this research and strength future planning processes in the scarcity context of the global south. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the normative scenario and the increase in the number of people with disabilities accessing the university, it is necessary to reflect on opportunities for improvement, aiming at making decisions that qualify participation and learning. Thus, the Index of Inclusion in Higher Education - INES in the Portuguese acronym - was applied to 37 students with disabilities and/or special educational needs from UFSM, whose answers were collected from the Lickert Scale, analyzed descriptively, building the semaphores matrix. It was revealed as strong points: the existence of policies that minimize the barriers for learning and participation of students, programs that value the well-being of academics, facilities and infrastructure consistent with inclusive education; and as points for improvement: processes of identification and characterization of students with disabilities, greater incentive to faculty and student mobility in national and international levels. The application of the Index allowed the perception of the actions that this University develops, its strengths, and the identification of situations for improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the key factors that contribute to improving the positioning of corporate web portals is accessibility, considering the large number of users and the volume of content available on the Web. Accessibility enables search engines to give priority to those portals that have incorporated these features. The objective of this article is to propose a set of accessibility recommendations to improve the positioning of corporate web portals, which were determined based on the guidelines and levels of conformity of the Colombian accessibility standard NTC 5854. For the methodological development of this research, the four phases of the iterative research pattern proposed by Pratt were considered: observing, identifying, developing and testing. These made it possible to define the recommendations and verify their relevance in accessibility inspections. As a main result, a set of recommendations was obtained for the accessible design of web portals, which were focused on improving the these sites' positioning and grouped according to the four principles of the NTC 5854 standard. In addition, an automated tool was developed which allows conducting accessibility inspections of web portals using the defined recommendations. In conclusion, the inspection carried out on the JanuswWeb portal with the developed tool made it possible to verify the relevance of the recommendations, in order to enable a greater number of users to access, perceive, operate, and understand the content of the Web.

The objectives were to identify the main exclusionary barriers in the life of young and adult students with disabilities and to discuss the role of the school as a public institution in combating discrimination and prejudice, generated by the lack of attitudinal accessibility. With a qualitative and exploratory and descriptive approach, participants were 6 students with varied disabilities from public schools in Porto Velho (Rondônia), a teacher and a blind master's student, in 2019-2020. After 4 meetings in small groups, on Google Meet, the analysis was based on thematic categorization (BARDIN, 2011). The results indicate that the attitudinal barrier has been the most difficult to overcome for all participants, leading to a lack of accessibility in the school and university space, to pursue studies and professionalization; greater reflection and awareness of their rights to accessibility, and the need for empowerment through social engagement.

This article presents a section of research under development by the Multi group, which aimed to develop a multiformat book accessible to all children. Currently there is a wide variety of children's books on the market, but without accessibility. The developed book has two versions: one in braille and ink in an enlarged font and another in Alternative Communication. Both have tactile illustrated images, audio description and storytelling in sign language. The theoretical basis is the perspective of systemic thinking with Bateson and Maturana. Polato, Claudet and Caldin are present as references. The methodology used was Research-Intervention. The study made it possible to test and produce a total of 200 books, which were donated to libraries and public schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Universities, in compliance with current legislation, develop policies to favour inclusion. This implies significant effort in order to overcome barriers related with study plans, teaching methods and assessment, accessibility to both spaces and infrastructures, and technological supports. The main objective of the present study is to examine the perceptions of a group of students and teachers in order to obtain a general overview of accessibility at university. Specifically, the study strives to determine student and teacher evaluations of accessibility at their university, whilst also examining whether perceptions differ between both groups and as a function of knowledge field. Information was collected from both students and teachers using a questionnaire designed ad hoc for the study. Obtained outcomes indicate that surveyed students strongly agree that university infrastructures, center facilities, services available at university, furniture, classroom conditions and the online portal should favor the inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Similarly, teaching staff also manifested similar ideas although ratings for all items were slightly lower than those given by students. Likewise, significant differences were observed between the two populations, with students reporting that the furniture favored the inclusion of students with disabilities. Differences were also observed as a function of the knowledge area in which students and teachers worked. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The presence of people with disabilities in higher education shows affirmative policies in defense of a university accessible for all. It also calls on distinguished members of the academic community to reduce inequalities in access and participation in Higher Education, to population groups in a situation of social, economic, and educational vulnerability, including people with disabilities. This research describes the preparation of the instrument to identify inclusive policies, cultures, and practices in university contexts. It is the Inclusion Index for Higher Education (INES), translated and adapted for use in different university socio- educational environments. The results indicated adjustments in the original instrument and created the adapted version to the Brazilian university context. Its applicability reaffirms the institutional commitment of the academic community for a social, critical, and transforming perspective of the training processes in Higher Education [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
