Lean Construction seeks to optimize production processes, proposing a change in management philosophy that supports the planning of activities, reduction of process flows, continuous improvement, and elimination of waste, among other aspects. The Last Planner Production Planning and Control System (LPS) is among the main contributions to construction management. Therefore, this study proposes improvements to Production System Design (PSD) and production planning and control for companies that build industrialized construction projects using LPS. The research method adopted was a case study, using participant observation, indirect observations through photographic reports, and documentary analysis. A company managing an enterprise for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry was identified as the subject of this work. The company's production planning and control model presented opportunities for improvement, such as the development of the LPS at all levels and in a collaborative manner. The structuring of the PSP is based on strategic decisions using planning tools and indicators that would allow for transparency of the plans drawn up, such as line of balance (LOB), deviation from the deadline and duration, and adherence to the plan of attack. The results showed that drawing up the PSP can help make strategic decisions, which can be fundamental to drawing up and developing more assertive planning. Furthermore, using visual tools can increase the transparency of planning and control processes. At the end of the study, a series of improvement actions related to PSP and production planning and control were presented. The proposed model can be used for similar types of projects and for construction companies that use the concepts of LPS and seek to improve their processes through strategic planning tools, such as PSP.

Sexual violence perpetrated against children and adolescents is a public health problem, given the prevalence of this type of violence. It affects children of all social statuses, and has a higher incidence within the family. Protecting these children from any type of violation of their rights is the task of a network of services, which, when well structured, can achieve the objectives of combating violence. This work proposes to analyze the importance of welcoming and protection networks for the referral of cases of violence. The main objective is to identify how the protection network against violence against children and adolescents should be articulated, in the perception of its actors. Outlined as a cross-sectional research with a qualitative approach, the study was guided by national and international documents that guide how to promote prevention and care for cases of sexual violence, greater appropriation of national laws, aiming at a greater understanding of how the protection network needs to be articulated. As the Rights Guarantee System is very extensive, it was decided to dialogue through semi-structured interviews with a few services, namely: the Tutelary Council, CREAS, the Assistance Program for Victims of Sexual Abuse (PAVAS) and the Commission for Organizing the Flow of Violence in the municipality of São Carlos. The analysis of the interviews departed from the inspiration of Foucault's Genealogy, seeking to identify possible statements involved in power relations. The results demonstrate a need for greater intersectoral articulation, as well as the accountability of some actors. The lack of technical training and few alignments also appear as negative factors. The non-discursive practices that were evidenced refer to power relations, the result of a culture of violence, to which this protection network is subordinated.

Belonging to the chemical group of carbohydrates and considered the main component of the plant cell wall, ensuring protection and support for the development of vegetables, cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), possessing unique properties, has stood out due to its abundance, because it is biodegradable, has good mechanical, optical and thermal properties. Has high surface area specific with hydroxyl functional groups that allows various chemical modifications to improve the physical-chemical properties of existing materials and/or develop new materials. Therefore, the objective of this work is the chemical functionalization of CNFs with the reagents 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride and the 2-aminoethyl hydrogen sulfate for future application as filter membranes. The functionalized nanofibrils were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), potentiometric titration, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The low value of the percentage of nitrogen and the degree of substitution characteristic of this type of reaction were calculated from the potentiometric titration. The results indicate that the chemical modification reaction under inert atmosphere was successful in finding bands in the FTIR spectrum characteristic of chemical modification. Through the XRD technique it was verified that the crystallinity indices decreased and the AFM micrographs found that there was a decrease in the diameter of the nanofibrils after the chemical modification reactions in the CNFs.

IL-2 and TRAIL are therapeutic agents known for their antitumor role, but they can be rapidly cleared by the body or be toxic, compromising their function. To reverse this impasse, the synthesis of these agents by living bacteria directly in the tumor is a viable approach, due to the preference of bacteria to infect tumor cells. This happens due to the high nutrient grid in this microenvironment and escape from the protective action of immune cells since solid tumors are ischemic and have regions of hypoxia. In this context, Salmonella represents a promising live vector for delivering molecules with an antitumor role. In this context, Salmonella represents a promising live vector for delivering molecules with an antitumor role. This study investigated the effects of IL-2, TRAIL and MIX of proteins expressed by recombinant Salmonella, strain SL3261, which contains a plasmid for the gene sequence of IL-2 and TRAIL, in bladder tumor cells in in vitro and in vivo models. The murine MB49 and human RT4 bladder cancer cell lines and C57BL/6 female mice were used. In in vitro tests, the cells were exposed for 24 and 48 hours to these proteins and the analyzes were performed by flow cytometry, ELISA, dyes and fluorescent antibodies to detect several cellular parameters: viability, morphology, recovery, nitric oxide synthesis, secretion of LDH, production of inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis. For in vivo test, a bladder tumor was induced in female mice by inoculation of MB49 cells followed by intravesical treatment, with subsequent analysis of survival, bladder weight, tumor regression, cell profile, cytokine release and biodistribution of bacterial strains. The data obtained indicate that both agents are cytotoxic for the tumor cell, as they cause a decrease in cell viability, modification of its own morphology and induction of apoptosis in both MB49 and RT4. This effect is caused by the activation of the enzyme iNOS by IL-2, which induces the synthesis of nitric oxide with consequent activation of genes that determine DNA degradation, and by the activation of the Caspase family by TRAIL, leading to apoptosis. In the in vivo tests, however, there was marked tumor regression, activation of the immune response due to the action of proteins, cell recruitment against tumor cells without causing damage to healthy tissues with an effect only on the tumor. Therefore, IL-2 and TRAIL expressed and conveyed by SL3261 have promising potential in the therapy of bladder cancer and that the proteins present synergism and that the MIX is more effective.

In the maintenance and manufacturing practices of equipment in the petrochemical industry, the electric arc gouging procedure with graphite electrode is used in the preparation of carbon steel joints to be repaired or joined by the welding process. It is noted, however, that there is not much information in the literature about the magnitude of carbon contamination in stainless steels gouged with an electric arc by graphite electrode, and the consequences on the electrochemical properties. Welding standards, including N-133, Rev N from Petrobras, do not allow the use of this preparation technique for stainless steel, accepting the hypothesis that carbon contamination would be above the permissible, and it would compromise the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance. Therefore, this project aims to evaluate the use of this process (gouging followed by welding) considering two types of austenitic stainless steels, AISI 316L and AISI 321, verifying the resulting gouging effect followed by welding on the electrochemical properties. The repaired/welded joints were studied in three different situations regarding the treatment of joint preparation after gouging, namely: i) without any type of cleaning, ii) brushing and iii) machining. Two types of joints were investigated, X and V, to simulate root pass preparation and defect repair, respectively. The degree of sensitization of the welded joint was evaluated using the double loop potentiokinetic reactivation technique (DL-EPR) according to ISO 12732 Corrosion of metals and alloys — Electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation measurement using the double loop method (based on Cihal's method), and the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion according to ASTM A262-15 Standard Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack in Austenitic Stainless Steels, Practice A. The results showed that the air carbon arc gouging has no effect on the corrosion resistance of the studied alloys

The closure of schools was one of the concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic scenario. The educational inequality already present in Brazilian schools has become increasingly evident, placing teachers and families in a challenging scenario. And what happened to Special Education Target Public (PAEE) students with the interruption of face-to-face teaching? The present study aimed to describe and analyze the impacts of Remote Emergency Teaching, resulting from the closure of schools, for PAEE teachers and students. Because it is a still unknown phenomenon, an exploratory research was developed consisting of two independent studies, with specific methodological paths. Study I was developed as a quantitative and qualitative research, carried out through the online Google Forms platform, with the participation of 214 public school teachers from 111 cities, 24 states of the five Brazilian regions. Data were categorized and described in three thematic axes, namely: 1) Working conditions, guidance and support for teachers in the pandemic; two). Pedagogical practices developed by teachers with PAEE students;) From school to home reality.Study II was developed as a qualitative research, of the case study type, carried out in a College of Application of a Federal University of Brazil, through meetings carried out online, through Google Meet. It had 11 participants from three groups: a) managers of the Inclusive Education nucleus; b) Special Education teachers; c) professors of the area of knowledge. Data were categorized and described in three thematic axes, namely: Axis 1) Organization of Emergency Remote Teaching; Axis 2) Collaborative Teaching in Emergency Remote Teaching; Axis 3) Return to face-to- face teaching. The analysis of qualitative data from both studies was performed using the Atlas TI software based on Grounded Theory (GT). The results pointed to diversity in practices, working conditions and level of partnership with families in the process of schooling PAEE students. Working conditions during the pandemic directly depended on the individual condition and reality of each teacher. The educational organization in the pandemic context emotionally shook most of them, who experienced great difficulty in the process of transitioning from face-to-face to remote teaching. Teaching was organized, mostly, in an emergency remote way, even with the lack of access for many students, with positive and negative points in the schooling process of PAEE students. Although it is a diverse context, the challenges of the education of PAEE students were maintained and expanded, highlighting the whole problem of accessibility. Despite the difficulties arising from different access conditions, which accentuated educational inequalities, Study II showed that it was possible to invest in collaborative practices with technological immersion, which facilitated collaborative strategies in planning, carrying out classes and even evaluating students, from a more universalist perspective than a specialist one, designed to improve teaching for all and not just adjustments for PAEE students. However, with the return of face-to-face teaching, these practices were reduced or even discontinued, and the school was trying to organize itself to return to what it was before, with the same profile and requirements, disregarding how much society and students had advanced with pedagogical practices. collaboration and the use of technology

Regression models have profound importance in analyses that aim to investigate the relationship between a dependent variable and a set of predictor variables. The diagnostic analysis is a fundamental step in validating a regression model, whose objectives are to identify possible discrepant and/or influential points and to verify possible deviations from the assumptions made for modeling. In this case, it is desirable to obtain residuals whose distribution is close to the standard Normal distribution, since their properties and behavior are known. The quantile residual is an important class of residuals with this characteristic, where its distribution is asymptotically standard Normal when the model parameters are consistently estimated. Another common problem in regression analysis is model selection, which consists in selecting the best theoretical model from a set of candidate models. The objective of this work is to develop extensions of the quantile residuals, in aspects of diagnostic analysis and model selection. To check the model fit, an asymptotically distributed standard Normal residual is introduced, which can be used for any parametric circular-linear regression model. For the detection of possible outliers, an extension is proposed on two and three-point inflated beta regression models, whose tail distribution is similar to the standard Normal distribution. Finally, three model selection criteria are introduced by testing goodness of fit using the quantile residuals in a specific context of response variable distribution selection in generalized additive models for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS).

The study of phytoplankton has been a growing field of investigation due to the versatility for using these organisms. This investigation focuses on Cyanobacteria, photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms, important under the aspects of ecology and biotechnology. In the biotechnological field, they can be a source of products for the food, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, textile industries, among others. However, a limited number of species are used commercially. This work aimed at studying the physiology and biochemical composition of cyanobacteria, as well as to evaluate the physiological response to abiotic control of cultivation conditions. Initially, we prospected 20 strains, evaluating growth, and biochemical composition (pigments, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, antioxidant potential, phenolic compounds and polyhydroxyalkanoates), in addition to photosynthesis through chlorophyll fluorescence (quantum yields, photochemical quenching and rapid light curve parameters). Then, we performed biochemical manipulation of the biomass of a specific taxon, selected based on the prospecting results, Nostoc sp. The biochemical manipulation consisted of adding sodium chloride or copper, together with culture exposure to blue, red and green lights. The results showed great versatility of the cyanobacteria Nostoc sp., but also some resilience to variations in the conditions imposed on the cultures. Under ideal growing conditions Leptolyngbya sp. and Nostoc sp. reached higher growth rates (0,71 d-1), but Phormidium sp. and Microcystis sp. higher biomass yield (0,8 g L-1). Pigment composition varied among the studied species. The highest percent of proteins in the biomass were determined in Geitlerinema unigranulatum (60%), of carbohydrates in Microcystis navacekii (30%) and of lipids in Phormidium sp. (20%). Polyhydroxyalkanoate contents were higher (~ 2%) in Aphanocapsa holsatica, Sphaerocavum brasiliense, Microcystis aeruginosa and Nostoc sp. The photosynthetic parameters for the 20 species remained constant throughout the cultivation period. Regarding the manipulation process in Nostoc sp. we observed that sodium chloride and copper acted differently on the biomolecules. Sodium chloride led to increased phycobilins (at least 2x), whereas under copper increased (greater 1.2x) chlorophyll a and carotenoids were obtained. Proteins, carbohydrates and lipids per unit of biomass decreased in both chemical stimuli. Light colors did not influence these parameters but altered the production of phenolic compounds (1.4x) and antioxidant activity (2x). Blue light resulted in higher maximum quantum yields, rETRmax and Ik, but these gains were not reflected in the population growth of Nostoc sp. This study is a contribution to understanding the physiology of Cyanobacteria, as well as a contribution of new strains for biotechnological use.

This Final Paper makes a brief review of the main A/F paints and coatings for ships and vessels, the main protection material against marine biofouling that affects world trade as a whole. Different types of A/F paints have been developed and improved over the years, the first protection techniques originated from ancient peoples such as the Phoenicians, using natural oils and resins mixed with antifouling agents. The complexity of the marine environment and the processes that make up biofouling have led to these coatings being improved. Modernly, the protection of vessels started to consist of systems based on synthetic polymeric matrices, such as self-polishing paints with biocides derived from organotin compounds that revolutionized the industry in this segment. However, the concern with the environment brought new challenges to the market, when in 2003 the use of organotin agents, the most used agent in the formulations of paints and A/F coatings, was banned, due to the irreparable environmental damage caused by these compounds. Nowadays, the search for new coating technologies that address different effective protection mechanisms and biocidal agents that are less harmful to the environment are topics of research worldwide

Introduction: The Infant Motor Profile (IMP) is an instrument for quantitative and qualitative assessment of the gross and fine neuromotor development of infants aged between three and 18 months, or until they acquire independent and mature walking (three months after the gait acquisition). The IMP is quintessential to the scientific and clinical scope, as it considers the Neuronal Group Selection Theory; it is designed according to the biopsychosocial model when evaluating the structures and functions of the infant's body and activities; possesses good psychometric properties; additionally of being a quick and easy application instrument. General aims:To elaborate a scoping review protocol that aims to verify the psychometric properties of the original version of the Infant Motor Profile; in addition to translating it from British English to Brazilian Portuguese. Conclusion: Through manuscript 1 - Psychometric properties of the Infant Motor Profile (IMP): a scope review protocol (accepted for publication in PLOS ONE) was possible to identify several materials published in databases and the gray literature. Therefore, it will be possible to systematically summarize the most relevant information about the IMP and disseminate the knowledge provided by it. While manuscript 2 - Infant Motor Profile (IMP): translation and concurrent validity for Brazilian infants (submitted to JAMA Pediatrics) was prepared with the aim of enabling the IMP access for Brazilian health professionals. The process of successfully translating the IMP into Brazilian Portuguese showed the maintenance of its concurrent validity with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale. In this way, the use of IMP by Brazilian health professionals in childcare becomes viable, optimizing early detection, design, and monitoring of the effectiveness of early physical therapy intervention programs.

The purpose of this dissertation is to present an analysis of investigations focused on the STS field - Science, Technology and Society - based on discussions between fundamental authors such as Arlindo Machado, Lucia Santaella, Bruno Latour, Langdon Winner, Octavio Ianni, Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin, Gilbert Simondon and Renato Ortiz. Based on Vilém Flusser's concepts, the research suggests a dialogue between them, permeating which particular ideas they have about the CTS concept associated with the characterizations of media art and photography, that is, a set of visual communications created by technical images. The verification starts from the assumption that it is necessary to understand these opinions and how they observe the interactions and communications between art, media and technical objects and, thus, question them to, in this way, develop our own point of view. Motivated to propose considerations about the impact of these overlaps between art and technology, the research presents questions about new artistic practices from the technological artifacts that integrate the so-called media art, taking as a reference photography as an important engine of transformation of modern western society from the end of the 19th century to the present day. For the development of the work, we based the methodology through a bibliographic review, seeking information in books, periodicals, magazines and articles. The STS field and its authors and authors from other fields such as sociology and semiotics were taken as support for the theoretical analysis.

Brazilian education has its historical context marked by changes and reforms that led to advances and setbacks, a movement that is still continuous in current times and in which the teaching of science is included, which in the educational context of Brazil is guided by the search for the rise in meaningful ways of learning scientific knowledge. Looking for reflections beyond the pointing of obstacles to be overcome for the effective improvement of the quality of science teaching in the early years of elementary school, the analyses carried out here intend to approach the relationship between knowledge, actions and pedagogical practices of a group of teachers from the city of Campo Grande/MS who are in the condition of specificity of science teaching in this pedagogical stage, considering aspects of the teaching activity in the way these professionals express it in the mobilization of knowledge in the teaching of scientific knowledge, in view of possible contributions on the teaching of science in the early years of elementary school. The investigative design occurs within the framework of a Case Study (YIN, 2001), with the use of a questionnaire and focus group dynamics for data collection, which in turn were analyzed with the help of Content and Enunciation analysis (BARDIN, 2011). The discussions of the analysis focus on elements of teaching as professional development and pedagogical knowledge mobilized in the context of educational practice in science in the early years, based on the studies of Tardif (2012) and Tardif and Lessard (2014). The results point to the following conclusions: the teachers participating in the research are in a situation of semi-professionalism, due to the weaknesses in terms of professional development raised in several areas and that have repercussions on the understanding that the teaching activity of science in the early years should not require the teacher to be a specialist as "expected" from graduates in the area of Natural Sciences; nor should it lead them to assume a condition of specialist within the pedagogical training recommended for this phase of education (Pedagogy). Thus, the understanding presented is that science teaching in the early years of elementary school is constituted by the interface between teachers' knowledge and classroom realities, knowledge mediated by dimensions of practice in which the conditioning elements can be configured both as drivers and as "real" obstacles to be faced. In this sense, one of the paths for the effective insertion of science teaching in the early years involves the empowerment of teachers, since teachers are the transforming agents of the curriculum to be taught and it is in this action that the relevance of science teaching should be imbricated.

Wood is often used in lattice roof structures because of its excellent mechanical properties. Currently, due to the increasingly competitive market and the scarcity of available resources, there has been an increase in demand for structures with a refined design, in which safety is guaranteed with lower consumption of material. A value, commonly recommended by fibercement roof tile manufacturers for lower consumption of wood to be used in the roof structure is the use of a 6° (i=10%) inclination between the truss flanges. In this context, this study seeks to evaluate the influence of the inclination between the flanges of Howe and Pratt-type joists on wood consumption, using iTruss software, which performs structural analysis via FEM and considers the guidelines of the recently published ABNT NBR 7190-1: 2022 standard for design. As this is the main variable of this study, the range of variation for slope considered was from 5º (i=9%) to 25º (i=47%). In order to contemplate the most diverse design situations, two different span sizes will also be considered, in addition to other variable parameters such as wood strength class and moisture class, thus totaling 672 simulations. The 6° slope (i=10%) did not present the lowest consumption for any of the situations analyzed. In order to assist decision-making in structural wood roofing projects, considering the consumption of the entire roof structure (trusses + purlins), an optimal pitch range of 10°(i=18%) to 12°(i=21%) was determined for all situations, so that the consumption obtained within this range does not exceed a 10% increase of the minimum possible consumption for each situation.

Os avanços na área da saúde possibilitaram o aumento da expectativa de vida e influenciaram na prevalência das doenças que acometem as pessoas idosas. Entre essas, têm-se as síndromes demenciais, como doença de Alzheimer, que deterioram a qualidade de vida não só do indivíduo acometido como dos familiares que o cercam. Atrelado a clínica do paciente existem testes cognitivos que auxiliam no diagnóstico, entre eles o Teste do Desenho do Relógio (TDR). O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o emprego do TDR em idosos com e sem demência, antes e após tratamento homeopático, no município de Rio Branco, Acre. Consiste em um estudo observacional longitudinal do tipo coorte, realizado com pessoas idosas em acompanhamento por queixas cognitivas ou motoras no Hospital do Idoso da Fundação Hospitalar do Acre, com aplicação do TDR entre agosto de 2019 e maio de 2021. Conclui-se que na população de estudo acreana o teste tem grande influência da escolaridade e dificulta seu emprego como ferramenta diagnóstica para demência, além de também ter seus resultados confundidos pela renda e idade.

O fim do ciclo neodesenvolvimentista no Brasil foi marcado pelos efeitos de uma crise econômica e política sem precedentes no período recente, agudizada pelo impeachmentda presidenta Dilma Rousseff (PT), em 2016. É nesse contexto que se assiste a um recrudescimento do neoliberalismo no país, com forte impacto sobre as condições de vida e de trabalho de milhares de brasileiros. Dito isso, este artigo tem por objetivo discutir as mudanças no mercado de trabalho brasileiro entre os anos de 2013 e 2019, período marcado por mudanças políticas de grande envergadura que abriram caminho para a reforma trabalhista de 2017, apresentada como solução para o desemprego eainformalidade. Metodologicamente, o trabalho se assenta na análise de dados sobre o mercado de trabalho no Brasil, notadamente sobre ocupação, postos de trabalho formal e informal e rendimentos, além de uma revisão crítica da literatura especializada sobre o assunto. As conclusões da pesquisa indicam que, mesmo antes dos impactos negativos da pandemia de covid-19, o Brasil já convivia com a redução do salário real dos empregados no setor formal, intensificação da informalidade e a tendência à precarização no mercado de trabalho, fenômenos estes derivados da condução neoliberal da economia em geral e, mais especificamente, das medidas contidas na reforma trabalhista imposta ao país.

Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activation during efforts activities may predispose to urinary loss. However, there is unclear evidence on the behavior of PFM during situations of coughing and Valsalva maneuver. Objectives: Hence, the present review aimed to evaluate the current evidence on electromyographic (EMG) activity of PFM during coughing and Valsalva maneuver in continent women and women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: The databases EMBASE, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and were searched up to August, 2021. Two independent reviewers conducted the selection process based on titles, abstracts, and full-text reading. In addition, studies reporting PFM EMG activity during coughing and/or the Valsalva maneuver with surface EMG were included. The methodological quality of the primary studies was assessed through the checklist proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute for cross-sectional studies. Results: Seven cross-sectional studies were included in this review, four of which were on PFM activation of continent women, while the other three compared continent women versus women with SUI. During both Valsalva maneuver and coughing, an increase of PFM EMG activity compared to rest was observed for continent women and women with SUI. Limitations of the present systematic review are that comparison among studies and a meta-analysis were not possible due to heterogeneity of EMG techniques and devices used. Conclusions: Coughing and Valsalva maneuver lead to an increase in PFM electrical activity compared to rest. This increase was more prominent in women with SUI during Valsalva, with no differences during coughing.

The Social Functions of Music, described by Alan Merriam, are an important tool for promoting democratic music education in Brazilian Basic Education. However, the presence of this content in schools must be studied, once music education has faced challenges that limit its operation. The drafting of the Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional Law (LDBEN in Portuguese) is one of them, as it addresses the regulation of Art Education in a considerably unspecific manner. Through documental and bibliographical analysis, this Final Course Research sought to identify the school program outlined by the LDBENs, analyze Brazilian legislation on Art Education and relate these official norms to the possibilities that the Social Functions of Music encounter. Thus, it was found that the current political strategy’s lack of interest regarding the establishment of quality Art Education reflects in its configuration, currently described as imprecise; and limits the Social Functions of Music’s development.

Foram analisadas as principais abordagens e autores das produções sobre Competência em Informação relacionadas à fake news e desinformação indexadas nas bases de dados Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação, Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações e Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações CAPES até 2021. O corpus de análise se constituiu de 32 itens. O estudo demonstra uma tendência crescente da quantidade de publicações sobre a temática a partir de 2018. Em relação ao conteúdo, as publicações foram agrupadas em sete categorias e a categoria com a maior quantidade de trabalhos abrange questões relacionadas à informação e saúde no contexto das fake news e desinformação sob o viés da Competência em Informação. Evidenciou-se o cunho complexo em relação às abordagens distintas da Competência em Informação no tratamento dos fenômenos igualmente complexos de desinformação e fake news, revelando que é uma temática de estudo emergente na área, contribuindo de através de estudos teóricos e aplicados a diferentes grupos, para a mitigação dos efeitos das fake news e da desinformação.
