Sentidos da escola pública a partir das narrativas da comunidade escolar do Poti Velho – PI

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Sentidos da escola pública a partir das narrativas da comunidade escolar do Poti Velho – PI Lima, Teresinha Vilani Vasconcelos This document has as its research problem the understanding of the meanings of public school for a community in Teresina/PI and its developments in the problematization of school racism. To guide the study, I sought an understanding of the constitution of school racism supported by concepts from the philosophy of difference — State racism, in Foucault (1999) — and contemporary Brazilian sociology, in Jessé Souza (2022), based on his theorization concerning the middle class and the ralé brasileira (Brazilian underclass), problematizing public school in the neoliberal context. As empirical material, the following were used: a) documents from Firmina Sobreira Public School, Teresina/PI; b) nine semi-structured interviews with school segments and members of the neighborhood community, as well as a conversation circle with 11 students. To examine the empirical material, I draw inspiration from the concept of discourse, in Foucault, as an interpretative tool to analyze the narratives produced within the scope of the research. As main results, I highlight the meanings of public school circulating through the dimensions of learning and socialization, showing how public school resists its death and the discourse that claims it does not function — through everyday gestures of human formation and through the strength of the teacher figure.

Do ruido à interdependencia: a trajetória possível do diálogo competitivo para contratações públicas de inovação

Do ruido à interdependencia: a trajetória possível do diálogo competitivo para contratações públicas de inovação Santos, Alessandra Cristina Fagundes dos The research has as its object the interaction between the State and the market, within the scope of the so-called competitive dialogue, a new modality for public procurement and the potential as an instrument to encourage innovation, on the demand side. The research problem started from the risks and uncertainties of the effectiveness of the bidding, since the backbone of the new bidding modality is in the dialogue between public and private organizations. From this, it was asked how to mitigate the communication noise in public-private interaction, in the context of competitive dialogue, for the effectiveness of the instrument in public policy to encourage innovation, on the demand side? As a hypothesis, it was defined that the mechanism of communicational interdependence is the key to the success of public contracting of innovation via competitive dialogue as a way to overcome the challenge, enabling not only the enhancement of the use of the modality, but also the scope of the effectiveness of public procurement. As a general objective, it was intended to contribute to the consolidation of competitive dialogue as a public policy mechanism aimed at stimulating innovation from the perspective of demand. In addition, it was sought that this instrument, of dialogic regulation and collaborative participation, contributes to the adaptation of the organizational culture in favor of public-private coevolution, through new communicative processes of construction of meaning. As specific objectives of the research, it contextualized the path taken by the contemporary State until the reform of the New Law of Bids and Administrative Contracts (NLLCA), dealing with the peculiarities of competitive dialogue for public procurement; pointed out the challenges of instrumentalizing competitive dialogue and analyzing the differences in the organizational culture of the public and the private and possible factors of noise and disturbances during public-private interaction in the bidding environment; presented the theoretical mechanism of communicational interdependence in an environment of trust as a key piece for collaboration between public and private economic agents; and, it delivered a framework as an artifact to support agents in the procedure of competitive dialogue. The relevance of the research consisted in the exploration of competitive dialogue as a mechanism that induces the effectiveness of innovative public contracts; the development of new innovative markets; and the effectiveness of the demand-based innovation policy. The analytical approaches conducted to confirm the hypothesis used the theory of social systems as a theoretical framework, from the perspective of Niklas Luhmann. The methodology to produce epistemological knowledge used to confirm the hypothesis was the hypothetical-deductive approach, where it was sought, from the research problem and formulated hypothesis, to test whether the predictions derived from the initial hypothesis are supported or refuted by the results obtained. For the artifact, the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology was used. As a research technique, qualitative and exploratory approaches were used from data collection. The conclusion pointed out that competitive dialogue not only enables innovative solutions, but also promotes the co-evolution of organizations, where communicative noises become communicative stimuli, ensuring that both remain autonomous and operational in a collaborative environment.

Inteligência Artificial no Ensino Superior: promovendo práticas de ensino voltadas à sustentabilidade com o sistema GrowAIDE

Inteligência Artificial no Ensino Superior: promovendo práticas de ensino voltadas à sustentabilidade com o sistema GrowAIDE Saldanha, Marros Silva The integration of sustainability-oriented teaching practices in higher education is essential to train professionals who are aware of current socio-environmental challenges. This dissertation investigates how the GrowAIDE system (available at: https://www.growaide.app/), using artificial intelligence, contributes to sustainable education in a private HEI in Rio Grande do Sul through the analysis of contextual data and the generation of personalized strategies to integrate sustainability into business projects developed in the educational field. The general objective of this research is to evaluate how the GrowAIDE system, based on artificial intelligence, can be implemented in a Higher Education Institution to promote education integrated with teaching practices focused on sustainability. This analysis will be guided by the following specific objectives: to develop a teaching resource with the system, to evaluate perceptions of its usability and to verify its pedagogical adaptation. This is an exploratory research with a mixed approach, which involved four experienced professors in sustainability and used Likert scale questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The research evaluated the GrowAIDE system as a teaching resource. The quantitative data from the questionnaires provided an initial overview of the perceptions, while the qualitative data from the interviews were analyzed using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) (Fairclough, 1995) to gain an in-depth understanding of the participants' constructions of meaning. As a result of this research, it can be concluded that GrowAIDE can be used as a strategic tool for HEIs to promote concepts and teaching practices related to sustainability. However, it was also found that the system requires improvements in accessibility and a more intuitive interface for personalizing the information entered in the project registration, thus optimizing the analysis performed by artificial intelligence. This work, developed within the scope of a Professional Master's Degree, resulted in the design, development and evaluation of the GrowAIDE system, a technological product applied to higher education to promote practices aligned with sustainability.

Políticas públicas educacionais e letramento digital: subsídios para a conscientização sobre fake news nas escolas

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Políticas públicas educacionais e letramento digital: subsídios para a conscientização sobre fake news nas escolas Gonçalves, Tais Fabiola The high vulnerability of children and adolescents to the online environment and the unpreparedness of a significant portion of educators to address this topic in the classroom constitute a practical and urgent challenge for Brazilian education. This research in the field of educational management addresses a gap between the formulation of public policy and the practical need for awareness regarding fake news in the school environment. The research problem sought to answer how educational public policies support digital literacy for fake news awareness within the school context, as the effectiveness of these policies in the "school floor" reality is a challenge seldom explored in an integrated manner in the literature. A qualitative, descriptive study was conducted based on a bibliographic and documentary analysis. The analyzed documents included seven legal instruments, such as legislation, opinions, and resolutions, in addition to official guides and reports from the Brazilian government. Furthermore, nineteen surveys were utilized, including data from the Higher Education Census, Cetic.br (ICT Education Survey), and UNESCO. The results indicated that although Brazil possesses an advanced legal framework, such as the National Policy on Digital Education (PNED), its implementation is hindered by infrastructural barriers and, most notably, by the lack of continuous teacher training. Nevertheless, it was possible to identify means of bridging the gap between policy and local reality, such as investing in articulation between government spheres and creating municipal-level regulations. This research contributed to the academic and scientific field by deepening the concept of digital awareness in light of Paulo Freire's theoretical framework; in the field of applied research, by providing a real intervention material—a Recommendation approved by the Municipal Council of Education of São Leopoldo, RS, which serves as a model for other localities; and it also made contributions to the social sphere, by assisting schools in the quest to form critical citizens who are better prepared for the challenges of the digital age.

Indetectabilidade sem intransmissibilidade: fragmentações do conceito entre a clínica e a vivência

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Indetectabilidade sem intransmissibilidade: fragmentações do conceito entre a clínica e a vivência Cruz, Jeneson Tavares da This dissertation is the result of a study on the concept Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) in the lives of gay and bisexual men living with HIV (GBMLWH) who have achieved an undetectable viral load, as well as from the perspective of healthcare professionals working in two specialized HIV services located in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and its metropolitan region. The main objective was to investigate the meanings and interpretations attributed to U=U in the lives of GBMLWH, and to understand how this concept has been constructed and communicated within clinical contexts. U=U is a prevention strategy which states that people living with HIV who adhere to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and reach an undetectable viral load do not transmit the virus through sexual contact. Brazil is internationally recognized for offering ART free of charge through its public healthcare system called Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) since 1996. In 2019, the country issued an informational note reinforcing the importance of recognizing U=U, affirming that such knowledge contributes positively to the interpersonal relationships of people living with HIV, opens new possibilities for life with the virus, and helps to combat stigma. The field research was qualitative in nature and based on the narratives of 18 participants — 11 GBMLWH and 7 healthcare professionals — which led to the development of two scientific articles. The first article, focused on the narratives of GBMLWH, discusses the meanings and interpretations of U=U in the experiences of those with an undetectable viral load. The study reveals that understanding “undetectability” does not always consistently translate into an understanding of “untransmittability.” In order for the transformative potential of the U=U message to be fully realized in combating HIV-related stigma, the article emphasizes the need for improved communication, even suggesting that the message be reframed as “U=0” to better highlight the notion of zero sexual transmission risk. The second article examines, based on the narratives of both GBMLWH and healthcare professionals, how knowledge about U=U is constructed, interpreted, and negotiated between these two groups. The study reveals a fragmented and frequently misaligned understanding of the concept, highlighting the urgent need for clearer communication and for validating the term "untransmittable" as a strategy to empower patients, promote sexual autonomy, and confront stigma. The findings suggest that although U=U is a prevention strategy capable of improving quality of life and well-being for people living with HIV, its effectiveness is limited by stigma and misinformation. Even in settings where the concept should be more solidified — such as among people with an undetectable viral load and in patient-provider relationships within specialized services — distrust and misalignment with scientific knowledge persist. There is a clear consensus regarding the goal of achieving an undetectable viral load through ART, as this preserves the immune system and prevents progression to aids. However, the second part of the equation — the condition of being untransmittable — remains poorly understood, insufficiently internalized, and ineffectively communicated in clinical environments, as if, in the end, the equation were U≠U.

Uso de cigarro eletrônico e fatores associados entre universitários da área da saúde de uma universidade de goiás: um estudo transversal

Uso de cigarro eletrônico e fatores associados entre universitários da área da saúde de uma universidade de goiás: um estudo transversal Andrade, Hélio Pinheiro de This doctoral thesis in Public Health, developed within the Graduate Program in Public Health at the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos – UNISINOS – aimed to assess the prevalence of electronic cigarette (EC) use among university students from an institution in the state of Goiás, Brazil, and to investigate associated factors, including the relationship with the use of psychoactive substances. This was a cross-sectional, university-based study conducted using a self-administered questionnaire between October 2022 and May 2023. The results revealed a high prevalence of EC use in the past 30 days (69.1%), with a higher frequency among males and students aged 22 to 24 years. Factors such as alcohol consumption, illicit drug use (including marijuana), psychotropic medication use, and conventional cigarette smoking were strongly associated with EC use, both lifetime and recent use. Students enrolled in clinical cycle courses also showed a higher prevalence of EC experimentation. Adjusted analyses indicated significant prevalence ratios and odds ratios for these associations, reinforcing the multifactorial nature of this behavior. In conclusion, EC use among university students is part of a broader pattern of polysubstance use, highlighting the need for more effective prevention and control measures by health authorities and higher education institutions.

Risco de quedas e fatores associados em idosos comunitários residentes de São Leopoldo/RS

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Risco de quedas e fatores associados em idosos comunitários residentes de São Leopoldo/RS Silveira, Eduarda Vitória Fadini This master’s dissertation from the Graduate Program in Public Health at UNISINOS aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with fall risk among community-dwelling older adults in São Leopoldo. This is a cross-sectional analytical observational study, with a sample composed of 136 older adults linked to the municipal Health Care Network. Fall risk was assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, being classified as moderate/high in 11% of the participants. Bivariate analysis identified significant associations between fall risk and fear of falling, history of falls, reduced handgrip strength, and higher SARC-F scores. In the multivariable logistic regression, poorer performance in the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) and shorter distance covered in the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) emerged as independent predictors of increased risk. The distinctive feature of this research lies in the unprecedented integration of multiple functional, muscular, and clinical indicators in a Brazilian community-dwelling older population, demonstrating that low-cost, simple, and applicable instruments in the daily routine of Primary Health Care can enable the early identification of older adults in situations of functional vulnerability. The originality of the study resides in translating physical performance measures into objective and feasible screening tools, providing direct support for clinical practice, intervention planning, and the design of public policies. As outcomes, the study highlights the creation of a pioneering epidemiological and functional database in Southern Brazil, the validation of clinical risk predictors, the production of a scientific article under submission to an international journal, and the training of new researchers integrated into collaborative networks. It is concluded that the findings of this dissertation have immediate practical relevance and transformative potential: by proposing accessible predictors, the study not only contributes to science but also offers concrete solutions to reduce fall risk, prevent disabilities, and promote healthy aging, with a positive impact on both the quality of life of the older population and the sustainability of health systems.

Treino parental e sua influência sobre os marcos do desenvolvimento em crianças no transtorno do espectro do autismo atendidas em caps infantil

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Treino parental e sua influência sobre os marcos do desenvolvimento em crianças no transtorno do espectro do autismo atendidas em caps infantil Moura, Conceição de Maria Aguiar Barros This PhD thesis of the Postgraduate Program in Collective Health at UNISINOS aimed to analyze the effectiveness of parental training interventions of basic skills in the developmental milestones of autistic children treated at a children's CAPS. The aim was to verify whether the training carried out with the participants was effective and to analyze the developmental milestones of autistic children aged two to six, using the Operationalized Portage Inventory (IPO), before and after the interventions conducted by the parents. Article 1 presented the methodological aspects of a non-randomized clinical trial on the implementation and adaptation of an intervention protocol mediated by parents of autistic children treated at the CAPSij in a city of Maranhão. Regarding the results, it is noteworthy that the reference protocol is an appropriate instrument to guide health professionals in advising parents of autistic children, as it covers the basic skills to be taught, presented in a simple and illustrative manner and, more importantly, because it indicates the development of the target skills in children with ASD. Article 2 analyzed the effectiveness of parental basic skills training interventions on the developmental milestones of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) treated at a children's CAPS. Two groups were investigated (an intervention group (Group A) and a control group (Group B)), balanced in terms of the child's developmental age, race/color, family income, and the primary caregiver's level of education. The study demonstrated that children in group B presented significant differences in the comparison of scores before the beginning of the study and after the follow-up period only for the language domain (T0 = 1.32 vs. T1 = 1.53; p = 0.036). On the other hand, in group A, all development domains showed significant improvements after follow-up. In summary, the results of this thesis corroborate the effectiveness of parental training in improving the developmental milestones of children with ASD who received educational interventions over six months, demonstrating that this type of intervention can be replicated both within the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System) and in private services that take care of autistic children. Children in the intervention group experienced significant improvements in socialization, language, cognition, self-care, and motor skills, demonstrating that parent-mediated interventions, even in public settings (SUS), are effective and can contribute to improving the lives of autistic children and their families.

Experiências de sofrimento psíquico na adolescência

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Experiências de sofrimento psíquico na adolescência Nied, Camila This doctoral thesis, developed within the Graduate Program in Public Health at the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS), focused on the experiences of psychological suffering among adolescents. The research aimed to understand how adolescents experience psychological suffering and the meaning of their actions in the life-world, grounded in the sociological phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. The qualitative study was conducted in a public school in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through individual interviews with 20 students aged 16 to 19, carried out in 2023. The analysis interpreted adolescents’ experiences through concepts such as biographical situation, stock of knowledge, motivations, and typifications. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of UNISINOS under opinion number 6.186.778. The results unfold into two articles: the first discusses adolescents’ motivations for work — a theme that emerged significantly during interviews and analysis — while the second focuses on experiences of psychological suffering and the meaning of action in the face of such experiences. Findings from the first article revealed that adolescent work, although marked by challenges, is understood by adolescents as a possibility for autonomy, belonging, and social recognition, thus constituting a situated social action shaped by multiple motivations. The second article showed that psychological suffering mainly arises from fragile family and school relationships and is expressed through “unspeakability,” often silenced or trivialized by others. The actions mobilized in response to these experiences ranged from silence and self-injury to seeking support and developing personal ways of resignification. The convergence of the thesis findings demonstrates that adolescence should be understood as an experience situated in the life-world, rather than merely as a normative stage of development, recognizing adolescents as subjects of social action. By problematizing phenomena often treated in normative or pathologizing ways, this thesis contributes to broadening the debate on adolescence and mental health in the field of Public Health, offering insights for future research, public policies, and care practices that value adolescents’ uniqueness, strengthen qualified listening, and expand intersectoral support networks.

Universitários e a relação entre uso de drogas, assertividade, estratégias de coping, impulsividade e suporte social: um estudo misto

Thu, 12 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Universitários e a relação entre uso de drogas, assertividade, estratégias de coping, impulsividade e suporte social: um estudo misto Aguiar, Karoline Giele Martins de Global economic expansion demands increasingly qualified professionals, driving the increase in the number of young people and adults in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), where, in addition to acquiring knowledge and skills and socializing, they may face psychological distress and the risk of drug use. This academic path, although it promotes knowledge, skills and socialization, can also lead to psychological distress and drug use. Assertiveness and coping strategies can facilitate academic adaptation, while their absence tends to induce maladaptive responses, impulsivity and, eventually, drug use, and social support, in this context, can mitigate or exacerbate these difficulties. Understanding the interactions between university students, assertiveness, coping strategies, impulsivity and social support can foster preventive and intervention strategies for promoting mental health. The thesis analyzed the constructs assertiveness, coping strategies, impulsivity and social support based on the network of interactions between these variables and drug use by university students, investigated the predictive factor of the variables in university students who are drug users and non-users, and the understanding of the aforementioned constructs from the context of university students undergoing treatment for chemical dependency. Composed of three studies, the thesis uses a mixed cross-sectional method. Study I analyzes the interaction between the dimensions of the scales: Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), Rathus Assertiveness Scale (RAS), Brief COPE Scale, Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11) and Social Support Scale of the Medical Outcomes Study’s Social Support Scale (MOS-SSS), through Network Analysis (RA) of 505 university students (367 used legal and/or illegal drugs and 138 did not use them). Data collection was carried out online, using Google Forms, and analyses were performed using R software, version 4.4.0. Study II, of an explanatory quantitative nature, used the instruments already mentioned in study I to investigate the predictive factor of assertiveness, coping strategies, impulsivity and social support (independent variables) in 505 university students who are drug users and non-users (dependent variable), with analysis using Poisson Regression. Finally, study III, an exploratory qualitative study, sought to deepen the understanding of the constructs in 07 university students undergoing treatment at CAPS AD III, applying the same, in addition to semi-structured interviews, with analysis supported by Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The results of the thesis indicate that assertiveness is connected to the dimensions of coping strategies, behavioral disinvestment and self-blame in university students who use drugs. Nonadaptive coping strategies, such as substance use, behavioral disinvestment and selfoccupation, combined with social interaction and motor impulsivity are factors that increase drug use. In college students undergoing treatment for Substance Use Disorder (SUD), shyness and passive and/or aggressive behaviors stand out to deal with intrapersonal and interpersonal difficulties, with drug use increasing feelings of rumination and worsening the condition. It is concluded that the college trajectory involves complex interactions that, associated with individual characteristics, can influence drug use among students. The study suggests intervention proposals addressing the studied variables as a mechanism to promote quality of life and prevent drug use among college students.

Relações entre resiliência e sofrimento mental em acadêmicos da Educação Superior

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Relações entre resiliência e sofrimento mental em acadêmicos da Educação Superior Delbem, Henrique Yung This thesis investigated the relationships between resilience, mental health, and substance use in higher education students, under the framework of the Multisystemic Model of Resilience (MSMR). The research was structured into three studies that furthered the understanding of this phenomenon. Study 1 consisted of a narrative literature review of the last 25 years, which established the thesis theoretical framework, justified the adoption of the MSMR, and synthesized the state of the art on the subject. The findings indicate that resilience consistently acts as a protective factor against psychological distress. Study 2, a quantitative and crosssectional study, analyzed a sample of 357 university students, mapping the correlations between dimensions of resilience (MSMR-I), indicators of psychological distress (COREOM), substance use (AUDIT), and sociodemographic variables. Sociodemographic and contextual factors were found to be important moderators, with external resilience associated with higher income and White ethnicity, and internal resilience associated with more positive health behaviors. Study 3, a quantitative and longitudinal investigation, followed 169 medical students over two academic semesters, analyzing the temporal evolution of these variables and their interrelationships using network analyses and regression models. The most salient finding from the longitudinal study reveals an incongruity in the adaptive process: although the students' global resilience increased over time, indicators of emotional distress (complaints and symptoms) also significantly worsened. This result suggests that in highstress environments, the development of resilience resources may occur as an adaptive mechanism that does not necessarily translate into subjective well-being, thereby imposing a psychosocial cost. It is concluded that resilience is a dynamic and multisystemic process. Its effective promotion in higher education requires social and institutional interventions focused on creating healthy academic environments and strengthening support systems (external resilience), rather than approaches centered exclusively on the individual.

O papel das crenças na violência conjugal e impactos na saúde mental

Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 GMT

O papel das crenças na violência conjugal e impactos na saúde mental Lemos, Dayse Chaves The aim of this dissertation was to analyze the role of beliefs about intimate partner violence in the occurrence of violence and its impacts on mental health. This dissertation is composed of three empirical articles. The first qualitative and exploratory study aimed to investigate beliefs about intimate partner violence through a focus group. The results revealed three central axes of beliefs: 1) the influence of culture, gender, and masculinity on the acceptance of violence; 2) transgenerationality and the naturalization of violence; and 3) justifications for the occurrence of violence. The second quantitative study aimed to identify the level of agreement with these beliefs, compare the perspectives of men and women, and verify which sociodemographic characteristics could predict higher levels of agreement with the beliefs. The results showed low levels of agreement with beliefs legitimizing violence, but men presented higher levels of agreement with these beliefs than women (p<0.05). The third study, of a correlational nature, sought to analyze the level of agreement with the beliefs and verify possible associations with perpetration and victimization in relationships and their impact on mental health. The results showed low levels of agreement with the beliefs, but high rates of violence and an association between the occurrence of intimate partner violence and mental illness. The dissertation findings reveal an initial scenario of transformation in beliefs about violence, which still does not seem to be reflected in changes in violent behavior in intimate relationships

A qualidade da relação líder-membro e a saúde mental de trabalhadores do Rio Grande do Sul

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMT

A qualidade da relação líder-membro e a saúde mental de trabalhadores do Rio Grande do Sul Lanzarin, Bruna Santini Within organizations, workers develop interpersonal relationships, especially the leadermember relationship, in which the leader directs and influences the work of his subordinate. This relationship can affect the worker's mental health, producing positive or negative effects for them. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the association between the quality of the leader-member relationship and the health and mental illness of workers in Rio Grande do Sul. It will be a quantitative study, with a cross-sectional approach and a descriptive correlational design. A sample of 404 workers from the state of Rio Grande do Sul is estimated, led for at least 6 months by the same leader. The following instruments will be used for data collection: 1) Sociodemographic Data Sheet; 2) Multidimensional Leader-Member Exchange; 3) Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21); and 4) Continuum Mental Health Scale. For data analysis, reliability assessments of the instruments, descriptive analyses, Person or Speman correlations and multiple regression analyzes will be carried out. It is hoped, through this study, to expand knowledge about the leader-member relationship and its effects on workers' mental health, in order to help guide the work of professionals who work in institutional contexts.

Não convencionais para quem? Uma crítica contracolonialista às Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANC) no Brasil

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT

Não convencionais para quem? Uma crítica contracolonialista às Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANC) no Brasil Oliveira, Bruna Pedroso Thomaz de This study is characterized as qualitative, with an exploratory descriptive approach, having as a theoretical-methodological foundation Conceição Evaristo's Escrevivência, in an Afro-ethnographic key, based on the work of Zora Neal Hurston. It aimed to analyze the concept of Non-Conventional Food Plants (PANC, acronym in Portuguese) in Brazil, through social sciences, in an Afro-oriented debate. Emerging in Brazil, PANC can be considered more than a concept that typifies a portion of edible plants in the country. It mobilizes collective practices, forming a social fabric that can be understood by comprehensive theories. However, this concept, as well as its social consequences, has ethnic-racial impacts that deserve attention. In this sense, we show the incompleteness perceived in it, as well as in its social mobilization as it is placed in Brazilian society today, in a dialogue with the countercolonization proposed by Antônio Bispo dos Santos. This journey of darkening the understanding of PANC is presented in experiential cycles, through which an empirical and theoretical articulation is made, revising the sociogenesis of the concept. Everything is done in dialogue with the author's story, together with the stories of other black women. The characterization of the social field mobilized by the concept is also carried out, as well as an analysis of the limits of its application, to advance in the debates from a black point of view, defending the use of the term Non-Colonized Food Plants.

Prática de suplementação de micronutrientes em pacientes com síndrome metabólica e obesidade: análise da ingestão dietética e conduta profissional

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Prática de suplementação de micronutrientes em pacientes com síndrome metabólica e obesidade: análise da ingestão dietética e conduta profissional Soyer, Aline de Brito Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is characterized by a cluster of interrelated risk factors, including abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular events, and mortality. Obesity and T2DM are chronic conditions with high prevalence and significant impact on public health. Despite frequently excessive caloric intake, individuals with these conditions may present deficiencies in essential micronutrients, such as magnesium, zinc, and selenium, which play key roles in metabolic, inflammatory, and antioxidant processes. This study aimed to evaluate micronutrient supplementation practices in patients with obesity and/or metabolic syndrome through the analysis of dietary intake and professional practices. In addition, it discusses the influence of nutritional ecology and the mismatch between modern diets and ancestral human physiology in the rising prevalence of nutritional deficiencies. Among the main methodologies employed, 18 adult patients diagnosed with obesity and/or metabolic syndrome answered the Food Frequency Questionnaire (ELSA-Brazil – reduced version) and another instrument assessing health status. For 17 health professionals (physicians and nutritionists), a structured questionnaire was applied to map clinical practices related to micronutrient screening and supplementation. The main findings revealed dietary intakes below the recommendations for all micronutrients assessed. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and heatmap visualization indicated heterogeneous dietary patterns among participants. Regarding professional practice, there was wide variability in prescription strategies, administration routes, and criteria for evaluating treatment response, with no standardized protocols in place. Taken together, these findings suggest a high risk of subclinical deficiencies and highlight the need for personalized and standardized nutritional strategies, as well as training of health professionals for the appropriate management of these patients.

Narrativas de professoras dos anos iniciais sobre o ensino e o aprendizado de alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA): formação, atuação e avaliação

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Narrativas de professoras dos anos iniciais sobre o ensino e o aprendizado de alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA): formação, atuação e avaliação Pellenz, Simone Isopo The inclusion of students with disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders in the regular Brazilian education system, although legally established, still faces challenges and generates discussions in the daily school routine. Given this complexity, this dissertation investigated the pedagogical practices of five early elementary school teachers, exploring their experiences and the inherent challenges of teaching in diversity. The aim was to analyze these practices in relation to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), identifying their benefits and challenges in the classroom. This qualitative research collected data through audio narrative interviews with five teachers from a public school in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. The analysis was based on the perceptions of authors such as Vygotsky (2010), Orrú (2012, 2017), Santos (2016), Cunha (2020, 2022), Prizant (2023), Haag (2015), Bandeira (2020), and Cruz (2021), focusing on the interfaces among language, education, and inclusion. It was structured into categories such as teacher training and work, teaching and language in the school context, teaching practices with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), assessment, and processes of development actualization and de-actualization. The results indicated that the participants' teacher training emerges from daily practical necessity, their conception of language tends towards its use as a communication tool with teacher-centered instruction, there is a lack of knowledge about specific practices for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) despite diagnostic information, assessment is primarily used to measure student knowledge, and the teachers' discourses reveal both the presence of de-actualizing elements and actions that favor student development. Thus, the study points to the need for a paradigm shift in teachers' perception of their role, considering their conceptions of teaching, learning, and working with language in the context of inclusive education for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Mobilização de saberes profissionais para o ensino de literatura na licenciatura em letras: análise de um processo formativo Gasparini, Nathália Luísa Giraud This dissertation addresses initial teacher education for literature teaching. Its context is a formative process conducted in a Language and Literature course at a federal institute: a project in which two pre-service teachers studied works related to the perspective of literary literacy/literacies (Cosson, 2019; 2020; Amorim et al., 2022) and carried out reading workshops with elementary school students in a public school. The objective is to analyze how knowledge for teaching literature was mobilized, which included based on the representations of action constructed by the participants throughout this process, which included practical experiences, understood as activities that bring pre-service teachers closer to professional practice (Brasil, 2024). The study assumes that schools, as literacy agencies (Kleiman, 2006; 2007), are strategic spaces for promoting literary reading, and that such knowledge is part of teachers’ professional expertise. This involves the mobilization of professional knowledge in practical experiences, understood as activities that bring pre-service teachers closer to professional practice (Brasil, 2024). Following Tardif (2000; 2014), it is assumed that the mobilization of knowledge occurs when teachers select, translate, and elaborate knowledge in response to concrete situations, and according to Gatti (2014), this process involves an integration of ways of thinking and acting that goes beyond mere operational aspects. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews conducted before and after the workshops, as well as recordings of planning, discussion, and evaluation meetings. These discourses are examined based on the discursive consciousness (Tardif, 2000) of pre-service teachers taking as the unit of analysis the representations of action as proposed by Socio-Discursive Interactionism (Bronckart, 2006; 2010). The results provide evidence that the experience prompted processes of awareness that led participants to make sense of what was studied, while what was studied was, in turn, used to make sense of what occurred during the experience. The analysis of the meetings indicates that the planning and assessment activities conducted by the instructor—particularly when positive or insufficient courses of action were identified, and when learning objectives were established based on these assessments—played a significant role in this meaning-making process. Thus, the study of literary literacy/literacies proved to be a relevant contribution to the mobilization of knowledge, with literary reading as its central focus. In this process, the opportunities to plan and assess the work played a substantial role.

Formação de professores: letramentos literário e digital em aulas de língua portuguesa Carvalho, Lyedja Symea Ferreira Barros This thesis examines how the integration of literary literacy, digital literacy, and teacher education can enhance the development of literary readers in the final years of Elementary School. Conducted in partnership with public school teachers, the study involved formative workshops based on the Reading in Digital Environments Didactic Framework (LIDDA) and the creation of a learning community. The research followed the principles of action research, emphasizing listening, collaboration, and the transformation of teaching practices.Findings indicate that while teachers demonstrated fluency in the personal use of digital technologies, they faced challenges in applying these tools pedagogically. The workshops enabled the design of original lesson plans that combined literary reading with pedagogical mediation and the intentional use of digital resources. The establishment of a collaborative Padlet and a WhatsApp community fostered experience sharing, the consolidation of formative bonds, and the strengthening of teacher authorship. A collaborative e-book emerged as a concrete outcome, compiling innovative practices that integrate literature and technology.Grounded in solid theoretical frameworks — including Cosson (2006), Freire (1996), Kersch (2020, 2024), Azevedo; Kersch (2024), Nóvoa (2023), and the Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC, 2018) — and informed by the DigCompEdu (Lucas; Moreira, 2018) and SAMR (Puentedura, 2006) models, the study demonstrates that critically mediated digital technologies can promote meaningful pedagogical transformations. Moreover, it broadens students’ engagement, fostering active participation in reading, aesthetic appreciation, and meaning-making.

Libras, educação de surdos e inclusão na formação de estudantes de magistério: práticas formativas e produções pedagógicas com o apoio do design thinking

Libras, educação de surdos e inclusão na formação de estudantes de magistério: práticas formativas e produções pedagógicas com o apoio do design thinking Ildebrand, Isaías dos Santos Applied Linguistics, by articulating language, education, and human development, has contributed to critical reflections on pedagogical practices related to Deaf Education. In the context of the deaf community, studies indicate that limited contact with Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) and the absence of specific studies in teacher education programs hinder the development of effective and situated school mediations. Although Brazilian legislation recognizes Libras and mandates its inclusion in teacher education, challenges still persist regarding its teaching and learning - both as a second language for speakers of oral languages and as a first language for deaf individuals. In this context, the study investigated the development of an additional training course aimed at secondary-level teacher education students, structured through educational design thinking. A qualitative approach and a participatory research design enabled the analysis of questionnaires and productions developed in formative laboratories. The training served as a pathway that expanded students’ understanding of Libras, deafness, and deaf education, while also enhancing their pedagogical and linguistic practices. The participants’ productions - including bimodal digital books, activities using the manual alphabet, educational games in Libras, and interdisciplinary proposals - demonstrated the articulation between theory and practice and the potential of this training to foster teaching practices more attentive to the presence of sign language in schools.

Migração, trabalho e famílias operárias: a formação do espaço urbano e a Vinícola Peterlongo (Garibaldi, RS, 1900-1960)

Migração, trabalho e famílias operárias: a formação do espaço urbano e a Vinícola Peterlongo (Garibaldi, RS, 1900-1960) Comiotto, Samanta Trivilin The thesis seeks to reconstruct the spaces of the city of Garibaldi, presenting them as spatialities produced by individuals and their families throughout the processes of migration and neighborhood formation. To this end, the Peterlongo winery and its workers are taken as central objects of analysis. The study focuses on the period between 1900 and 1960, which encompasses the municipality’s political emancipation and the economic growth of the factory. By examining the migration decisions made by these individuals, the thesis aims to understand the extent to which the historical process of Italian immigration affected the life trajectories of the family groups analyzed. In other words, based on the premise that the Conde D’Eu colony—now the city of Garibaldi—was created as a settlement intended to receive Italian families, it also attracted immigrants from other countries. The research also examines the background of the working-class families, addressing the motives that led them to choose industrial labor, particularly at the Peterlongo winery. The study describes the life paths of several working families in order to detail the experiences of these laborers across various spaces and in the different social roles they occupied throughout their lives. These trajectories are contextualized within the complex dynamics of human life, highlighting how individual, collective, and family choices—alongside successes, failures, and strategies—shaped the structures of life, work, and sociability of the subjects studied. The research demonstrates that family networks functioned as privileged channels of access to employment at the factory, constituting not only a form of economic insertion but also a mechanism for the reproduction and social shaping of the urban spaces surrounding the industrial unit. The kinship and proximity relationships between workers and employer reveal how personal ties influenced labor opportunities and structured community dynamics, establishing networks of trust that extended beyond strictly professional interactions. The contribution of this study lies precisely in showing that employment at the factory was not limited to its economic dimension; rather, it played a central role in shaping the city’s social configuration, revealing how the history of labor and families intersected with the organization of urban space and with collective life.

A trajetória de uma mulher de elite: redes e a herança de Eufrásia Teixeira Leite - 1850-1937

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT

A trajetória de uma mulher de elite: redes e a herança de Eufrásia Teixeira Leite - 1850-1937 Ricci, Maria Fernanda Caravana de Castro Moraes This paper investigates the trajectory of Eufrásia Teixeira Leite, a woman belonging to the 19th-century agrarian elite. The analysis focuses on her migration to Paris and subsequent return to Brazil in the late 1920s, exploring how, after inheriting a significant estate, she established transnational networks of sociability. Anchored in social history and inspired by the methodological procedures of microhistory, this research uses the life narrative of this individual as a guiding thread for a comprehensive understanding of broader historical phenomena. Therefore, the aim is to analyze the foundations, purposes, and impacts of her will, elucidating her role and contributions in the social, cultural, political, and philanthropic spheres. Furthermore, it seeks to identify what capital—economic, political, social, and symbolic—she mobilized and accumulated to ensure the execution of her will. Finally, by consulting sources such as periodicals, correspondence, cards, the last will itself, the inventory, and the legal appeals filed against it, we examine the political use of this legal instrument as a strategy to revive a project of progress for the municipality of Vassouras. Our main working hypothesis was that Eufrásia Teixeira Leite's trajectory exemplifies a singular, yet structurally anchored, form of female agency within the Brazilian elite of the 19th and early 20th centuries. By means of a combination of family strategies, financial capital, and insertion into transnational social networks, she not only preserved but significantly multiplied her inherited wealth, subverting gender expectations and using her will as a final instrument of power to shape a project of modernity and welfare for her hometown. The contested execution of this will and the subsequent political uses of its legacy reveal the conflicts, negotiations, and limitations of an elite woman's agency even after death, making it a privileged case for studying the intersections between gender, wealth, power, and memory at the turn of the century.

Tiroleses na Região de Piracicaba no final do século XIX: aspectos identitários e étnicos do Tirol no Brasil italiano

Tiroleses na Região de Piracicaba no final do século XIX: aspectos identitários e étnicos do Tirol no Brasil italiano Toller, Fernando de Moraes This research aims to analyze, through a case study, the identity aspects of Tyrolean immigrants who settled in the region of Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, more precisely in the localities of Santa Olímpia, Santana, and Charqueada. The historical timeframe focuses on the end of the 19th century, from the arrival of the first waves of Tyrolean immigrants to Brazil in the 1870s until the end of the said century. Much has been written, researched, and published about Italian and German immigration to Brazil. However, Tyrolean immigration is not widely known, and its studies are limited to a few theses, dissertations, and scarce articles on the subject, in addition to the efforts of some Tyrolean associations that attempt, in a way, to reconstruct this migratory process. There is even a tendency in historiography to study Tyroleans in Brazil sometimes as an appendage of Italian and German immigration, and sometimes as a group entirely absorbed by Italo-German immigration .With the purpose of reconstructing, as much as possible, the Tyrolean immigration process in Brazil – especially from the perspective of this ethnic group's struggle to rebuild its identity ties in a "foreign land" and to characterize its differences in relation to other ethnicities with which it was amalgamated or confused – this endeavor adopted the following methodological steps: a bibliographic survey, work with historical sources, and the development of a case study through the reconstruction of a specific life trajectory. The research demonstrated that Tyrolean immigrants were not passively absorbed or assimilated by other immigration currents, as often suggested by historiography. On the contrary, the case study revealed an active process of identity negotiation and reconstruction of community ties. It is concluded that the Tyrolean immigration experience was marked by a deliberate collective effort to sustain a distinct identity, organized around its cultural references.

Luiz Americano de Itabaiana: trajetória e memória pelo campo musical do Choro no Rio de Janeiro (1930-1950)

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Luiz Americano de Itabaiana: trajetória e memória pelo campo musical do Choro no Rio de Janeiro (1930-1950) Augusto, Bruno Brandão This thesis investigates the trajectory of the musician Luiz Americano between the 1930s and 1950s, proposing a reevaluation of his figure through a new methodological and analytical approach situated in the field of History and Music, in face of the peripheral treatment he has received in existing researches. The study is structured as a prism that highlights the multiple circularities between his personal life and the development of Brazilian popular music, emphasizing the need to fill narrative and interpretative gaps. The first chapter focuses on the artist’s origins in the city of Itabaiana, Sergipe. Based on primary sources, the search presents possibilities to comprehend the formation of his “musical vocation,” analyzing the influence of family, geographic, and cultural references. Elements such as the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Philharmonic Orchestra, Northeastern popular festivities and regional and military bands are presented as fundamental parts for the construction of new meanings about his early trajectory. The second chapter examines Americano’s move to Rio de Janeiro, interpreting it as a strategy to escape from precarious conditions. The research shows how prestige, networks of influence and the perception of opportunity were crucial for his social rise and professionalization. Military bands are identified as an indirect channel of training for the first orchestras and for the availability of musicians in the national scene. In this context, Americano is seen as an exception among musicians, managing to live exclusively from music, in contrast to the insecurity that is presented in the musical class of his time. The third chapter explores the relationship between music and power, situating Americano’s consolidated career within the context of the Estado Novo. His proximity to intellectuals connected to the Vargas project, his exclusive contract with Rádio Nacional, and his labor union activity (analyzed through the archives of the Sindicato de Músicos do Rio de Janeiro) suggest that he became a convenient option to represent Choro, considered as “typically Brazilian,” in alignment with the aesthetic perceptions promoted by the regime. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on memory and heritage, positioning Luiz Americano as someone who links generations in the modern genealogy of Choro. The analysis of two key events and the results of musical contests demonstrate his representativeness among musicians and his recognition by the public, reinforcing his relevance to Brazilian cultural heritage.

Uma experiência com a metodologia do círculo de construção de paz em uma escola de São Leopoldo: proposta de intervenção para a prevenção da violência escolar

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Uma experiência com a metodologia do círculo de construção de paz em uma escola de São Leopoldo: proposta de intervenção para a prevenção da violência escolar Peixoto, Luciano Machado This dissertation addresses the issue of tackling school violence inspired by Restorative Justice methods, developed in a municipal school in São Leopoldo, Brazil. The central objects of study are school violence and Restorative Justice, with emphasis on the Peace Circle (Círculo de Construção de Paz – CCP), a practice based on the active participation of students. The research problem guiding this investigation is: How do students of a municipal school in São Leopoldo understand the different forms of school violence, their manifestations in interpersonal relations, and the conceptions they construct about the phenomenon of violence? The study is directed primarily toward two groups: students, as it seeks to provide them with a tool capable of contributing to conflict resolution and fostering their role as active subjects in this process; and school managers, since understanding students’ perceptions of violence can support the creation of an educational environment in which management efforts are less consumed by constant conflict resolution and more oriented toward improving school practices. The general objective is to analyze and systematize how students of a municipal school in São Leopoldo perceive and interpret the different forms of school violence, their expressions in interpersonal relationships, and the conceptions they construct about the phenomenon. Four specific objectives were defined: (a) to identify the types of school violence most recognized by students and their manifestations in daily life; (b) to analyze how students perceive interpersonal relations within the school and their connections with violent practices; (c) to examine the conceptions elaborated by students about school violence; and (d) to investigate strategies or solutions suggested by students themselves for addressing violence, supporting an intervention proposal. The methodology included the application of questionnaires to 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students, with parental consent and student assent; data analysis and tabulation; Peace Circles conducted with 8th grade students, who reflected on the findings in a context of respectful listening and dialogue; and, finally, the elaboration of an intervention proposal for addressing school violence. The selected school is located in a socially vulnerable area, which reinforces the relevance of the research by highlighting the need for strategies that integrate restorative justice, student participation, and school management to strengthen a culture of peace. It is concluded, therefore, that addressing school violence requires much more than disciplinary rules or punitive measures. It demands a cultural shift sustained by ethical bonds, active listening, and the symbolic appreciation of school subjects.

Site conexões em rede: possibilidades para a memória organizacional da formação continuada para educadores da educação infantil

Site conexões em rede: possibilidades para a memória organizacional da formação continuada para educadores da educação infantil Loboruk, Jaqueline Cadore This dissertation falls within the field of Educational Management and the triad of theories on continuing teacher education, organizational memory, and digital technologies. The research is based on the website "Conexões em Rede" managed by the Pedagogical Directorate of the Porto Alegre Municipal Department of Education (SMED). The overall objective is to analyze how the website can serve as an alternative organizational memory for continuing education initiatives for Early Childhood Education teachers. The theoretical framework was based on authors such as Cury (2002), Lück (1996; 1997) and Paro (2000; 2010) in the field of Educational Management; Alarcão (2022), Libâneo (1995) and Tardif (2013), on continuing education; Nonaka & Takeuchi (2008) and Mioli & Silva, to address organizational memory and Knowledge Management; and Lévy (1999) and Schlemmer (2005) for Digital Technologies. The research adopted a qualitative, exploratory approach, grounded in content analysis (Bardin, 1991), which guided the investigation of other municipal education department websites. The results demonstrated that "Conexões em Rede" with improvements in institutional visibility, credibility, organization, and interactivity, can develop value as an innovative resource for the organizational memory of continuing education programs for early childhood education teachers. As a proposed intervention, the improved website prototype is presented and the creation of a Research Group on Pedagogical Organizational Memory (MOP) with teachers from the Porto Alegre Municipal Department of Education (RME). This group would support a cycle of continuing education, website curation, and knowledge production related to pedagogical organizational memory as a public policy. It also promotes a practice grounded in the collaborative work of educators of RME.

Explorando o currículo: uma análise de gestão dos tempos e espaços nas escolas de educação em tempo integral de Porto Alegre

Explorando o currículo: uma análise de gestão dos tempos e espaços nas escolas de educação em tempo integral de Porto Alegre Kern, Jaciara Nunes This study investigates the management of time and space within the curriculum of full-time municipal schools in Porto Alegre, aiming to understand how this organization can contribute to the educational experience of students and the quality of teaching. The central research question is: How is the management of time and space structured within the curriculum of full-time municipal schools in Porto Alegre? Based on this issue, the study seeks to analyze how school time and space are organized, utilized, and redefined in the school routine and how such management can influence the educational process. The research was conducted in three of the six full-time municipal schools currently operating in the city, adopting a qualitative approach. The study draws on theoretical frameworks from authors such as Jaqueline Moll, Miguel Arroyo, Ana Maria Cavaliere, António Nóvoa, Alfredo Veiga-Neto, and José Carlos Libâneo. Data collection instruments included document analysis, questionnaires, and semistructured interviews with school principals and supervisors. Inspired by Miguel Arroyo’s reflection (2012, p. 33), which emphasizes “the right to time-spaces for a just and dignified life,” this study sought to highlight school organization not merely as a structural factor but as a crucial element in the quality of full-time education. The findings indicate that simply extending school hours does not guarantee meaningful and comprehensive education. The study emphasizes that effective time and space management requires careful planning, adaptation of physical structures, and innovative pedagogical practices. Challenges were also identified, such as the need for greater institutional support, ongoing teacher training, and the structuring of public policies that ensure the continuity of implemented actions. As a final product, the research proposes a pedagogical intervention aimed at improving the management of school time and space through discussions among educators and managers, exchange of experiences in workshops, and collaborative meetings. Additionally, the creation of an e-book will document and disseminate these innovative practices, establishing a collaborative repository to guide other institutions in the implementation and strengthening of full-time education. Thus, this study contributes to the reflection on educational policies and pedagogical practices that enhance comprehensive education, reinforcing the need for a closer look at the management of time and space as fundamental elements in building a more inclusive and transformative public school system.

Afinal: quem cuida de quem cuida? Uma jornada poética e formativa a partir das cartas pedagógicas na escola de educação infantil

Afinal: quem cuida de quem cuida? Uma jornada poética e formativa a partir das cartas pedagógicas na escola de educação infantil Meirelles, Darciana da Silva This dissertation investigates how practices of care, affection, and loving-kindness constitute the experience and teacher training in the field of Early Childhood Education, taking as its empirical context a municipal school at this stage and the formative daily life of its teachers. It starts from the understanding of Early Childhood Education as a specific field of pedagogical knowledge production, in which teaching is constructed amidst relationships, times, bodies, materialities, and affections, requiring formative processes sensitive to the experiences lived with babies and young children. The overall objective of the research was to understand how practices of care, affection, and loving-kindness permeate and constitute the training of early childhood education teachers. Specific objectives included: (1) promoting discussion groups, encouraging critical reflection by teachers on their pedagogical practices and on themselves as subjects of teaching; (2) exploring the educational management´s perception of the importance and feasibility of welcoming training environments attentive to the dimensions of self-care, loving-kindness, and affection; and (3) creating writing spaces that would allow teachers to produce meaning about their pedagogical practices, anchored in the daily life of early childhood education. The investigation was developed from a qualitative perspective, with (self-)narrative inspiration, understanding training as experience and writing as a formative practice. The methodological approach consisted of formative devices such as discussion circles, pedagogical letters, a reflective deck of cards, personalized notebooks, and aesthetic compositions, understood not as technical instruments, but as ethical-aesthetic propositions that intertwine life, teaching, and training. From the investigative process emerged the analytical categories of time, teacher training, and affectivity/self-care. The analysis of these categories was supported by an admittedly audacious and, at the same time, valuable theoretical articulation between Michel Foucault and Paulo Freire. In Foucault, self-care is understood as a demanding, unsettling, and non-prescriptive ethical exercise that calls the subject to rigorous attention to their ways of being, acting, and thinking. In Freire, this movement expands into the dialogical, relational, and political dimension of training, sustained by love, listening, and responsibility towards the other. While maintaining the distinctions between these frameworks their articulation allowed us to understand self-care as a collective formative practice, constructed in the relationship and daily life of teaching in Early Childhood Education. The research also showed that aesthetics constitutes a formative principle and not an ornamental element, permeating the ways of organizing spaces, times, materials, and training experiences, provoking shifts and estrangements necessary for reflective processes. In the realm of technical production, formative materials directly linked to the specificities of Early Childhood Education were developed, such as: pedagogical letters as a device for self-writing and sharing; a reflective deck of cards as a trigger for formative conversations; personalized notebooks for recording teaching experiences; and aesthetic compositions that fostered environments of care, listening, and reflection. These productions, articulated with academic analysis, reinforce the professional character of the research and offer contributions to formative practices in Early Childhood Education, especially regarding the creation of ethical, sensitive, and collective formative spaces and times. This study recognizes that self-care, from a Foucauldian perspective, is an arduous, unsettling, sometimes painful and challenging exercise that demands time, rigor, and continuity. Although this dimension was not explored in depth as a systematic spiritual practice, the research considered pedagogical letters as an initial step in this direction, understanding them as exercises in self-awareness, writing, and shared reflection. It concludes that, in the empirical context of this research, self-care, articulated with affection and loving-kindness, constituted a structuring axis in the training of the participating early childhood education teachers, affirming teaching as a space for creation, care, and continuous invention.

Desafios do conselho escolar na gestão financeira e no fortalecimento da democratização da escola

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Desafios do conselho escolar na gestão financeira e no fortalecimento da democratização da escola Lucas, Angelita Fernanda Teixeira This dissertation aims to analyze the links between the participation of counselors and the implementation of legal norms in financial management, seeking to understand their contributions to strengthening the process of democratization in schools. The empirical field was defined based on the researcher's experience as a school board member and concerns about public policies aimed at democratizing education, with the School Board of School João Belchior Marques Goulart, an Elementary School located in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, as the object of study. This choice made it possible to reflect on the legal aspects and experiences of participation in the board. Based on the theoretical context, it was possible to critically discuss the relationships between laws and the concepts of participation attributed to the School Board, as well as the ways in which these materialize in the face of an organizational culture still marked by authoritarian experiences. Historical and legal aspects of resource decentralization policies were considered, in addition to the concepts of autonomy, decentralization, and participation. The research adopted a qualitative approach, using documentary analysis, participant observation, and culture circles as methodological procedures. These instruments made it possible to identify both the potentialities and difficulties related to financial management, recognized as a relevant factor for the council's performance and for the implementation of school democratization. The research data showed that public education policies, including resource decentralization, are essential for school management when they ensure democratic principles, and it is necessary to implement them in the institution's daily routine. In addition, the importance of consolidating current regulations, the links established between councilors and the school, as well as interpersonal relationships in the participation process, was highlighted. Based on this trust, it becomes possible to consolidate more active and co-responsible participation, which effectively contributes to the democratization of the school. As a result, an educational intervention proposal was developed, structured as a permanent training program, with the aim of improving the performance of the School Board in the face of the challenges of financial management and strengthening democracy in schools.

Inovação aberta para solucionar problemas públicos: oportunidades e desafios

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Inovação aberta para solucionar problemas públicos: oportunidades e desafios Ganem, Bruna Ribeiro This research investigates ways to enable open innovation among public institutions, startups, and companies, focusing on solving public problems through innovation procurement instruments. The objective of this study is to propose a problem mapping framework and a CPSI Best Practices Guide that enable the solution of public problems through open innovation, based on public procurement of innovation. The study assumes that it is necessary to reverse the logic of the traditional bidding process, shifting the focus from the specification of the solution to the identification of the public problem. The adopted methodology was qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive. The methodological path combined a literature review with documentary analysis of public calls and contracts for Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (CPSI) carried out in Brazil, and the qualitative data analysis was conducted using NVivo software. The analyzed calls were based on Complementary Law No. 182/2021 (Legal Framework for Startups and Innovative Entrepreneurship) and covered different levels of government. The results indicate that adopting open innovation practices in the public sector requires not only cultural and institutional changes but also technical knowledge for the correct application of the available instruments. The main applied contribution of this thesis lies in the proposal of a practical and structured framework to assist public managers in mapping problems and defining recommended actions for their solution. The originality of this study resides in the construction and validation of this framework, which underwent a preliminary (pilot) empirical validation. Furthermore, the research presents a Good Practices Guide that guides public managers in structuring open innovation processes through Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (CPSI), validated by experts in the field.

Espaços Educativos Afro-Brasileiros e Indígenas (EEABIS): narrativas autobiográficas das(os) coordenadoras(es) de EEABIS sobre gestão e ERER no município de Porto Alegre

Espaços Educativos Afro-Brasileiros e Indígenas (EEABIS): narrativas autobiográficas das(os) coordenadoras(es) de EEABIS sobre gestão e ERER no município de Porto Alegre Nunes, Adriana Garcia This dissertation analyzes the implementation of Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Educational Spaces (EEABIs) within the Municipal Education Network of Porto Alegre (RME/POA), in light of the relationship between school management and education for ethnic-racial relations (ERER). As a data production technique, I employed autobiographical narratives, as proposed by Souza (2006), from EEABI coordinators, aiming to understand how their trajectories, practices, and challenges intersect with the principles of democratic management and with efforts to confront racial inequalities in the school context. The adopted methodology is grounded in qualitative research and in the intervention research paradigm, valuing listening, memory, and participation as central elements in educational transformation. Data produced throughout the research process were analyzed through content analysis, following Moraes (1999). The theoretical foundation supporting the research process was built upon a chronology that articulates past, present, and future, having as its basis the current practices of school management and the conceptual problematization of management and ERER, as well as the management of ERER, drawing primarily on the works of Evaristo (2008; 2016), Gomes (2002; 2012; 2017), and Gonzalez (2020). The research reveals that the performance of school leadership teams is essential for institutionalizing ERER, ensuring it does not remain limited to isolated or individual initiatives. Building management practices committed to racial equity requires political intentionality, continuous professional development, and the collective engagement of the entire school community. As a technical-pedagogical product, this study proposes a Self-Assessment and Monitoring Protocol for Quality in ERER, designed to provide indicators and guide schools in self-diagnosis and the improvement of their practices.

Investigação da auto e heteropercepção de comportamentos autênticos nas lideranças de uma instituição financeira cooperativa

Investigação da auto e heteropercepção de comportamentos autênticos nas lideranças de uma instituição financeira cooperativa Arcari, Ângela Duque This study examined leaders’ self-perceptions and followers’ other-perceptions of Authentic Leadership (AL)behaviors in a Brazilian cooperative financial institution, a topic of growing relevance given the expansion and socioeconomic impact of cooperativism in the country. A mixed-methods design was adopted: a quantitative phase applying the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) with a sample of 162 participants (57 leaders; 105 followers) across different levels of the leadership pipeline, and a qualitative phase with individual interviews of four senior executives. Results indicated no significant difference in the ALQ total score between leaders and followers (Mann–Whitney U test, p = 0.406), with similar medians (leaders = 3.06; followers = 3.00). In multivariate analysis, education level predicted the overall ALQ score, suggesting more critical assessments of authenticity among more highly educated respondents; sex did not remain a significant predictor in the final model. In the qualitative phase, facilitators (coherence between discourse and practice; inspiration and ethical consistency) and barriers (limited time for high-quality conversations; politicized contexts; need for psychological safety) emerged. Integrating these findings supports the adequacy of the ALQ for the studied context and informs a development roadmap combining diagnosis (ALQ), guided debriefing, and management artifacts (forums for voice, information openness, decision rituals, and explicit justification of decisions). In sum, the study recommends strengthening participation structures, voice, and transparency, and instituting periodic monitoring via the ALQ to sustain authenticity in everyday routines and its effects on people and organizational decision-making.

A utilização da telemedicina como alternativa para a melhoria do acesso à atenção primária de saúde no sistema único de saúde

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT

A utilização da telemedicina como alternativa para a melhoria do acesso à atenção primária de saúde no sistema único de saúde Silva, Adenilson Lima e Telemedicine can be an alternative for improving access to Primary Health Care (PHC) services within the context of Brazil's Unified Health System (UHS). In this context, the general objective of this research was to propose guidelines to enhance the use of telemedicine as an alternative for improving access to PHC within the SUS. To this end, a qualitative, exploratory study was conducted, operationalized by means ten in-depth individual interviews, using a semi-structured approach and a Basic Question Guide, with professionals working in the investigated context. Content analysis was used for data analysis, with pre-defined categories of analysis. Despite the recognized benefits to PHC users in public health, it was evident that telemedicine faces budgetary, structural, cultural, political, and social challenges for its definitive and comprehensive integration within the SUS in Brazil. Among some of the proposed directions, it is possible to mention the need for expanding connectivity, training professionals and integrating telemedicine into healthcare planning, expanding the national telemedicine network, investing in technological infrastructure, training professionals, establishing clear guidelines, integrating with health systems and public-private partnerships, and structuring telecare rooms, ensuring adequate connectivity and infrastructure, among others.

Caracterização da estrutura da crosta do Cinturão Dom Feliciano e das bacias sedimentares no sul do Brasil e no Uruguai com base em dados magnetotelúricos 2-D/3-D Menezes, Aline Muriel da Cunha This thesis presents a regional geophysical investigation aimed at characterizing the structural architecture of the continental crust and the main sedimentary basins of southern Brazil and Uruguay, based on the integrated application of the magnetotelluric (MT) method in twodimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) models. The analyzed dataset was acquired during three field campaigns (2012, 2019, and 2021), covering the Paraná-Sul and Pelotas projects and comprising ten MT profiles that cross Precambrian basement terrains and the Paraná, Camaquã, and Pelotas basins. The workflow integrated MT data acquisition, processing, modeling, and inversion, followed by calibration using complementary geological and geophysical information, including stratigraphic wells, gravity data, seismic profiles, and updated structural maps. The resulting resistivity models allowed the identification of deep crustal features such as ductile shear zones, suture zones, and major tectonic discontinuities, including the Ibaré, Dorsal de Canguçu, and Arroio Grande zones, as well as the Chuí Lineament. Additional structural boundaries were resolved, such as the Punta del Este–Jaguarão Terrane and the Pelotas Batholith. MT imaging proved capable of delineating these structures to depths of approximately 30 km. The results reveal significant lateral and vertical variations in electrical resistivity, reflecting lithological and structural contrasts that delineate crustal blocks, distinct terranes, and sedimentary units. The application of MT demonstrated high effectiveness in defining basement geometry, the thickness of the Phanerozoic basins and the Camaquã Basin, and in interpreting the regional tectonic evolution associated with the amalgamation of the Dom Feliciano Belt with the Rio de la Plata Craton. The integration of geological and geophysical datasets resulted in a refined crustal model and contributed to advancing the understanding of the deep crustal architecture of the região.

Do naturalismo ao construtivismo: em direção a uma teoria híbrida em metaética

Do naturalismo ao construtivismo: em direção a uma teoria híbrida em metaética Silva, Thiago Delaíde da The aim of this thesis is to defend an objective conception of morality by combining two distinct approaches in metaethics: naturalism and constructivism. This investigation seeks to propose an intermediate alternative between antirealism and metaphysical moral realism, insofar as both positions appear unsatisfactory. The thesis thus examines the possibility of reconciling naturalism and moral constructivism by articulating these two approaches within a hybrid conception of morality – constructivist naturalism – which preserves both the natural and empirical dimension of the moral phenomenon and its normative character. The problem arises from a potential objection to this strategy: naturalism and constructivism may be seen as incompatible approaches. This objection stems from the fact that naturalism and constructivism are often regarded as antagonistic views, commonly associated with moral realism and moral antirealism, respectively. The hypothesis defended here is that naturalism and constructivism are in fact compatible and can be complementary. The argumentative strategy developed in this dissertation maintains that it is possible to formulate a version of moral constructivism that is compatible both with a basic form of moral realism and with a non-reductive model of naturalism. This model is aligned with naturalistic theories that seek to describe the moral phenomenon on empirical grounds – without aiming to provide a normative justification – drawing on insights from evolutionary psychology, according to which the genesis of morality is closely associated with moral emotions. The constructivist counterpart aims to combine philosophical ethical constructivism with relevant contributions from social constructivism, integrating rational and social elements into a broad conception of the constructive process. From this perspective, morality, as we currently conceive it, is understood as being socially constructed upon a natural basis and subsequently rationally systematized. In this way, the dissertation seeks to defend the viability of a hybrid theory that articulates naturalism and constructivism through a dual aspect of morality: on the one hand, there are natural facts about human moral psychology – such as intuitions and emotions that constitute moral sensibility and provide the basis for moral judgments; on the other hand, the normative dimension – that is, moral norms – has its origin in moral agency. Therefore, the proposal of this dissertation does not aim to dissolve the fact/value dichotomy, but rather to offer theoretical conditions for articulating these two domains in a coherent manner, without neglecting scientific findings in the field of ethics.

Infância, experiência e profanação dos dispositivos biopolíticos na filosofia de Giorgio Agamben

Infância, experiência e profanação dos dispositivos biopolíticos na filosofia de Giorgio Agamben Ramos, Renata Adrian Ribeiro Santos Questa tesi analizza l'esperienza dell'infanzia e le sue connessioni con le categorie di forma di vita e di profanazione dei dispositivi biopolitici, secondo il pensiero filosofico di Giorgio Agamben. Analizziamo le seguenti domande: in che modo l'infanzia, come esperienza di potenziale, nell'ambito del linguaggio e della politica, è concepita nel pensiero filosofico di Giorgio Agamben? Sulla base di questa discussione, quali connessioni possono essere stabilite tra infanzia, forma di vita e profanazione dei dispositivi biopolitici? In questa direzione, esploriamo l'ipotesi che l'infanzia consista in un'esperienza di potenziale, che si configura come un percorso proiettivo di accesso del bambino al linguaggio, in virtù dell'affermazione della sua voce politica, intesa come etica. Questa proiezione riflette il processo di costituzione dell'umano in un divenire costante, che designa il processo di soggettivazione dell'essere nel linguaggio, in un'architettura esistenziale aperta e inconcludente. La figura del bambino riflette il potere della forma di vita del bambino, l'essere che può usare il gioco profano per resistere eticamente all'operatività del biopotere. Nel corso di questa indagine, esploriamo le dinamiche del gioco destituente del bambino, rispecchiate nell'esperienza ludica del bambino, che questo filosofo considera una forma di vita. In questo senso, riflettiamo sulle performatività ludiche dei personaggi di potere, estratte dalle narrazioni, evidenziate da Agamben nelle sue riflessioni sulla profanazione; e, soprattutto, affrontiamo l'esperienza ludica compiuta dal bambino come prova generale del gioco destituente. I risultati di questo studio affermano il potere dell'infanzia e dei gesti come nuovi mezzi di disattivazione dei dispositivi secolarizzati, la cui referenzialità trova nella figura del bambino il significato di pura medialità. Sosteniamo che le performatività (non) creative compiute dai bambini nelle esperienze ludiche provano mezzi di resistenza etica, essenzialmente ludiche, che indicano l'emergere di una biopolitica minore, originata da spazitangenziali, da circoli umani, in cui il potere del gioco profano riflette la forza del potere contingente, efficiente di fronte all'operatività dei processi espropriativi del potere umano. Riflettiamo sul bambino come colui che gioca a essere il potere del nulla, pur possedendo la capacità di sospendere il peso dell'operatività dei dispositivi secolarizzati, in un movimento che promuove l'apertura del campo dell'esperienza alla dimensione del riuso, una categoria del pensiero agambeniano che si riferisce al luogo di restituzione di qualsiasi oggetto al suo luogo comune. La dinamica del puro gioco di potere del bambino punta all'irruzione del nuovo, a partire dal riconoscimento che l'opportunità è un istante che si apre inavvertitamente, attualizzando l'emergere della promessa messianica. Il modo di vivere del bambino è un paradigma di potenzialità, che riflette nuovi significati per la costituzione dell'esperienza storica, basati sulla rivoluzione nella dimensione del tempo.; This thesis analyzes the experience of childhood and its connections with the categories of life-form and profanation of biopolitical devices, according to the philosophical thought of Giorgio Agamben. We analyze the following questions: In what way(s) is childhood, as an experience of potential, within the scope of language and politics, conceived in the philosophical thought of Giorgio Agamben? Based on this discussion, what connections can be established between childhood, life-form, and the profanation of biopolitical devices? In this direction, we explore the hypothesis that childhood consists of an experience of potential, which is configured as a projective path of access for the infant to language, by virtue of the affirmation of their political voice, understood as ethical. This projection reflects the process of the constitution of the human in a constant becoming, which designates the process of subjectivation of being in language, in an open, inconclusive existential architecture. The figure of the child reflects the power of the infant's form-of-life, the being who can use profane play to ethically resist the operativeness of biopower. In the course of this investigation, we explore the dynamics of the infant's destituent play, mirrored in the child's playful experience, which this philosopher considers a form-of-life. In this sense, we reflect on the playful performativities of characters of power, extracted from narratives, highlighted by Agamben in his reflections on profanation; and, above all, we address the playful experience carried out by the child as a rehearsal of destituent play. The results of this study affirm the power of childhood and gestures as two new means of deactivating secularized devices, whose referentiality finds in the figure of the child the meaning of pure mediality. We argue that the (un)creative performativities carried out by children in playful experiences rehearse means of ethical resistance, essentially playful, that point to the emergence of a minor biopolitics, originating from tangential spaces, from human circles, in which the power of profane play reflects the strength of contingent power, efficient in the face of the operativeness of the expropriating processes of human power. We reflect on the child as one who plays at being the power-of-nothing, while possessing the capacity to suspend the burden of operativeness of secularized devices, in a movement that promotes the opening of the field of experience to the dimension of reuse, a category of Agambenian thought that refers to the place of restitution of any object to its common place. The dynamics of the child's pure play of power point to the irruption of the new, from the recognition that opportunity is an instant that opens up inadvertently, actualizing the emergence of the messianic promise. The child's way of life is a paradigm of potential, reflecting new meanings for the constitution of historical experience, based on the revolution in the dimension of time.

Análise experimental da mudança de fase de bioPCM em espuma metálica de geometria retangular e perfilada

Análise experimental da mudança de fase de bioPCM em espuma metálica de geometria retangular e perfilada Becker, Fábio As a result of the gradual energy transition, with the increasing use of cleaner energy sources, energy storage becomes inevitable, mainly due to the seasonality of generation from such sources. In this context, one of the main existing alternatives is energy storage through latent heat. The main characteristic of this type of storage is its high energy storage density at a virtually constant temperature—that is, at the temperature at which the phase change occurs—which makes it possible to use it in numerous applications. Materials based on this form of storage are known as Phase Change Materials (PCMs). Due to their wide range of applications, the use of bio-based PCMs (bioPCMs) is important to mitigate potential environmental impacts. However, PCMs generally have low thermal conductivity, which may limit some applications. Therefore, methods that can improve heat transfer are necessary. The incorporation of metallic foams with different morphological characteristics into PCM is an efficient alternative that has been investigated due to its high heat exchange surface area and improved thermal conductivity. In this context, this research proposes a study with different foam geometries, along with the use of palm wax as bioPCM. Thus, two nickel foam geometries were used: one rectangular and the other profiled, which resembles a fin geometry. This allows for increased heat transfer and efficiency with a smaller foam volume. Furthermore, the influence of changing the reservoir orientation, analogous to the tilt of a photovoltaic module, was also analyzed. The main results showed that the case containing rectangular foam reduced the charging (fusion) time by 7.5% and the discharging (solidification) time by 4%, compared to the case without foam, while the case containing the profiled geometry reduced the charging time by 7.1% and increased the discharging time by 10%. The inclusion of foam also improved the energy storage rate by approximately 8.1% for the rectangular geometry and by 7.6% for the profiled geometry.

Análise experimental e numérica do escoamento em coletores solares de tubo a vácuo sob diferentes inclinações

Análise experimental e numérica do escoamento em coletores solares de tubo a vácuo sob diferentes inclinações Spengler, Fernando Claudio This thesis presents an integrated experimental and numerical investigation of the thermal and fluid dynamic behavior of water in evacuated tube solar collectors operating under natural circulation (thermosiphon regime). The study focuses on the influence of the tube set inclination on the internal circulation of the thermal fluid and the stability of the flow. The experimental methodology involved test bench trials under real operating conditions, with continuous monitoring of temperature and mass flow rate for inclinations of 20°, 30°, and 45°. In parallel, numerical simulations were conducted using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), employing validated numerical models to analyze the local velocity and temperature fields inside the tubes. The results indicate that inclinations higher than 30° enhance natural convection but also induce transient flow instabilities, characterized by abrupt oscillations in the mass flow rate. The coupled analysis confirmed the consistency between experimental and numerical patterns, revealing internal mechanisms associated with the breakdown of thermal stratification and the formation of recirculation. The daily global efficiency of the system was calculated for each inclination configuration, resulting in the following efficiency values: 46.4% for 20°, 69.5% for 30°, and 54.4% for 45°. These results highlight that the 30° inclination provided the highest overall thermal efficiency, due to its more stable behavior throughout the daily cycle. Although the 45° inclination promoted the highest values of flow rate and temperature increase, the system’s behavior did not remain stable at this elevated level throughout the day, which resulted in a lower efficiency compared to the 30° inclination. The conclusions highlight the importance of inclination adjustment to optimize the thermal performance of the collectors and demonstrate that the combination of numerical and experimental methods is effective in understanding the phenomena involved.
