Myrtaceae is the largest family of the order Myrtales, and comprises 145 genera ca. 5970 species. The Municipality of Cunha is one of the largest in the State of São Paulo, and is located in the upper Paraíba, close to the border with the municipality of Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, with an area of 1,407 km² and inserted in areas known as “Mares de Morros”. This study was based on fieldwork and consultation of specimens from herbaria. Morphological analyzes were performed using a 30X magnifying glass using dry and fresh specimens. More than 2210 specimens were analyzed, most of which were collected mainly by the first author of this work in the municipality of Cunha. The consulted herbaria were visited in person (ESA, BOTU, HRCB, SORO, SP, SPF, SPSF, UEC) or virtually (online, via SpeciesLink (http://inct.splink.org.br/), Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro (http://www.jbrj.gov.br/jabot) and reflora (http://reflora.jbrj.gov.br/reflora/herbarioVirtual/). Eleven genera and 144 species were found: Myrcia (53 spp.), Eugenia (41 spp.), Myrceugenia (16 spp.), Campomanesia (9 spp.), Psidium (9 spp.), Myrciaria (5 spp.), Neomitranthes (3 spp.), Siphoneugena (3 spp.) and Plinia (3 spp.), Blepharocalyx (1 sp.) and Pimenta (1 sp.). Three new records for São Paulo are presented: Myrcia pulchella, Myrciaria disticha and Plinia delicata. New distribution delimitations for the state of São Paulo is referred for Eugenia astringens, E. aurata, E. expansa, E. myrcianthes, Myrcia bella, M. chrysotrichoma, M. diaphana, M. neoclusiifolia, M. neoregeliana, M. strigipes, M. uberavensis and Neomitranthes pedicellata. The first record of fruits is presented for Eugenia longibracteata, Myrcia curta, Neomitranthes capivariensis, N. pedicellata and Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus var. hoehnei. Eugenia disperma, Myrceugenia kleinii, Neomitranthes pedicellata and Myrcia rupicola are endangered species registered for the municipality of Cunha.

Based on interdisciplinary research in Applied Human and Social Sciences, this work aims to reflect on the articulations between gender relations, possible violations of fundamental rights and freedoms and clothing, in the Brazilian scenario. Using the Critical Sewing Methodology, it has a feminist theoretical-methodological contribution and seeks documents that address the political, economic and sociocultural variables of Brazil today. Based on the assumption that the power relations existing in society unfold in different forms of control of female bodies, we seek to highlight the importance of identifying such forms that generally operate “subtly”. It emphasizes the extreme urgency in identifying possible allies and opponents in the construction of equality among all human beings, theoretically guaranteed. It is understood that only in this way will it be possible to consolidate alliances that work for a real social transformation in the sense of mitigating inequalities, as citizen-emancipatory actions depend on this bond. Therefore, the questioning about this exercised in this work constitutes an important action insofar as it contributes to future studies, remaining consistent with feminist agendas, especially with the guidelines of popular social movements in defense of women's rights.

Introduction: The demographic and epidemiological transition of recent years has brought the need to adapt the health system to new demands, and palliative care (PC) is an alternative for treating patients affected by life-threatening illnesses in their entirety, aiming at their quality of life through the prevention and relief of suffering. One of the barriers to establishing palliative care is the lack of specific education, according to specialized bodies. Measures that explore aspects such as competence and knowledge in CP are essential to propose training strategies in the area, allowing professional self-assessment of their skills. The Brazilian self-efficacy scale in palliative care (SEPC-BR) seeks to assess students' self-efficacy and their perspective related to the practice of PC, being translated and validated into Brazilian Portuguese in 2020 with medical students. The interest of this study was to explore its psychometric properties so that it can be extended to the multidisciplinary team, given that PC has an interprofessional approach among its premises. Objectives: to analyze the psychometric properties of the Palliative Care Self-Efficacy Scale, the Brazilian version, among health professionals; evaluate the validity of the SEPC-Br convergent construct by correlating with the results obtained by the Palliative Care Health Professionals Educational Needs Scale (ESPC-Br); evaluate construct validity by confirmatory factor analysis; evaluate the reliability of the SEPC-Br by checking internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha. Method: Methodological study, carried out non-face-to-face in a virtual environment, with 167 health professionals from different areas. Three forms were applied, one for characterizing the participants, the SEPC-Br, and the ESPC-Br. The data were organized in Excel and processed by SPSS statistical software. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis using Cronbach's alpha, and convergent construct validity using Spearman's correlation analysis were performed between the measurements obtained by SEPC-Br and ESPC-Br. Results: 181 responses were obtained on the form, 167 of which were valid for analysis. The majority (90.4%) of participants declared themselves trained in nursing, their ages ranged from 18 to 65 years old, with an average of 41.4 years old. 88% declared that they did not have specific training in CP. The mean SEPC-Br scale score was 1374.30 and the standard deviation was 612.84; for EPCS-Br the average was 72.2 and the standard deviation was 23.7. The total Cronbach's Alpha for SEPC-Br was 0.97. The convergent validity of the SEEPC-Br confirmed the hypothesis in the study, that the SEPC-Br and EPCS-Br measures were correlated from moderate to strong intensity, and the correlation coefficients between the scales ranged from 0.640 to 0.419 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The SEPC-BR presented high reliability and construct validity results among the health professionals investigated in this study, proving to be suitable for application with the multidisciplinary team.

This research aims to study the figure of João de Camargo in the city of Sorocaba-SP. He was a black man who lived the condition of a slave, went through abolition and survived from the beginning of the First Republic until the Vargas Era, becoming an important religious leader, especially of the black community. João de Camargo's black body went through violent processes in its existence, as it experienced the whole context of the European modernity project intertwined with the Brazilian development movement. This perception of the world, created since the long process of rationalization of European life and its overseas expansion, consolidated a relationship of alterity, establishing the white man as the “us” in opposition to the other understood as savage and uncivilized. This modernity was consolidated by the European imperialist project that imposed its civilizing process on the world – an extremely violent process that could not have existed without the support of a series of theories that can be summarized in the notion of the “white man's burden” of bringing civilization to other, savage, and inferior peoples. It was in this context that scientific racism developed, linking the backwardness of peoples to the condition of their race. Such theories arrived with great force in Brazil, especially in the historical period in which João de Camargo developed his religiosity in the Sorocaba society. This whole scenario created by modernity did not accept João de Camargo's ancestral knowledge as knowledge, nor as religion. This subjective construction of the subject that he had to survive and reinvent himself, in face of the whitening policy which the Brazilian elites believed to be the solution for the country's development, saw the black as the responsible for social backwardness and their bodies as something unwanted in the public space. It was in this context that João de Camargo created a space of survival and resistance for the black community in Sorocaba, a Capela Nosso Senhor do Bonfim. Throughout his life, João de Camargo earned respect and was known nationally as the Black Pope of Sorocaba. However, the advance of modernity did not stop and with his death, the city suffered with the arrival of progress, avenues, and real estate speculation. Gradually its history and memory became a point of dispute for some sectors of society. In the manifestation of the whitening of his cult, he is regarded as a spiritist medium; for others who regard him as a black leader, he brought the cults of the ancestors of Bantu and Yoruba matrices, who were present in that space materialized in his Chapel. Therefore, among the many threads of this memory about the life and struggle of João de Camargo to inscribe himself in a capitalist society with aspirations to the imported model of modernity, this work signals the restricted possibilities of access to black history in the city, since the subjectivity shaped by modernity crossed all the systematization of this past. Nevertheless, this text aspires to have brought more elements to the difficult understanding of the historical process through the daily life of a common man, a freed black man who reinscribed his destiny.

An instrument of the National Environmental Policy and City Statute, Environmental Zoning is an important tool in organizing the territory, responsible for dividing it according to areas where certain activities are authorized or not, in view of their social, economic and environmental characteristics. Several problems of urban feature can arise without this planning, including the occupation of irregular areas, pollution and the decrease in environmental quality, with consequences for the health and well-being of population, the reduction of green areas, which often end up being disregarded by government and the population, among others. Considering planning and management issues concerning about municipal Urban Growth Boundary and green areas that include it, this study sought to provide mens for this instrument to be adopted by the public authorities in the municipality of Campina do Monte Alegre – SP, located in countryside of state of São Paulo and belonging to one of the regions with the lowest human development index in this State, but with potential for growth due to the city’s proximity to a campus of Federal University of São Carlos. For this, maps were generated from drone imagens, topographic maps and shapefiles, indicating the built-up areas (totaling 295,040 m² of built area inside Urban Growth Boundary), the population density related to these areas (0,017 inhab/m², equivalent to one inhabitant per 57.3 m² of built area) and occupancy rate of the Urban Growth Boundary (5% from the total urban area and 17,88% of total High Density Building Areas), maps characterizing physical aspects, maps indicating the areas of environmental restriction, the urban voids, the amount of green areas in the municipality and possible regions for urban and green areas expansion.

This study aimed at investigating the connection between an active learning methodology of theme-based English instruction and the motivation of High School freshmen in a technical public institution. Theme-based teaching, one of the possible Content-Based Instruction (CBI) models, attempts to meet students’ needs and interests, focusing on issues related to pedagogical or academic demands or cognitive preferences (DUEÑAS, 2004). Considering that many students do not manifest interest in learning the language after four years of studies in elementary school (CAMPOS-GONELLA, 2007) and the urgency for new routes for teaching after the creation of the Common National Curricular Base (BNCC – Brasil, 2018), the interest in this research is based on the great motivational appeal provided by this approach. Active learning methodologies bring together a framework of approaches, strategies and activities that allow students to work with autonomy and creativity in the construction and application of knowledge (NASCIMENTO; OLIVEIRA-MELO, 2022), assumptions that meet what is proposed by the Brazilian document. The study was based on the assumption that theme-based teaching, based on an active learning practice, can influence students' motivation to learn English, due to their responsibility for choosing the themes and researching materials for the elaboration of the classes, being, therefore, co-builders of the course. The research was conducted in two phases and the methodological procedure used was action-research, conducted with questionnaires, recording of classes and a research diary kept by the teacher-researcher. Data analysis revealed that the pedagogical practice adopted meets some conditions of Motivational teaching practice (DÖRNYEI, 2001) and was evidenced as favorable for acting on the level of the learners’ motivation, especially with regard to its differentiated dynamics, in addition to awakening the interest of students and favoring agency and student protagonism. Among the most influential factors in the participants' motivation, it can be highlighted the methodological and socio-environmental factors (VIANA, 1990), as well as the contingency factor, proposed in the development of this research. It is hoped that this study can contribute to contextualized language teaching focused on student's learning conditions, as Kumaravadivelu (2006) and Leffa (2012) argue, in which the learner is integrated to his environment and acts in the construction of his knowledge.

The consumption of French bread has been growing exponentially and as a way to keep up with this trend, new technologies have emerged. One of them is the production of frozen dough, where the product goes through the fermentation and baking stages only close to consumption, avoiding losses and saving time and raw materials. Its processing is similar to conventional French bread, and as it is still a technology on the rise, it has little literature and does not have its own legislation. The quality parameters are the same adopted for conventional French bread since consumers are not expected to be able to differentiate between frozen French bread and conventional French bread. The main technological problems of using this technology are: adjusting the proportion of the ingredients, since the formulation can negatively affect the sensory characteristics; and the appearance of dark spots on the crust of the product, which may be related to different factors such as mechanical shocks, wrong addition of yeast and fermentation time and very long storage.

The cutting edge geometry has a great influence on the temperatures and forces developed during metal cutting processes, as well as on tool life. Aiming at obtaining high quality components and high productivity, proper edge preparation is essential. Within this context, the applicability of Al2O3-MgO ceramic cutting inserts with different edge geometries was investigated in hard turning. Such brittle materials must have a resistant edge to resist the impact without breaking. As it is a recently developed material and there is no information available, this work serves as a first investigation on this topic and has the goal of determining the most appropriate edge preparation regarding tool life and workpiece surface quality. For this, cutting inserts of the mentioned material had their edges prepared with four different geometries through grinding process and were applied with constant parameters in turning of hardened AISI 4140 steel (50 HRC). To analyze wear types and mechanisms, the used tools were observed in an optical microscope. From the obtained results, it was verified that the microgeometry with form factor K = 2 was the most effective in terms of tool life. In contrast, the insert with a single chamfer machined lower material volumes and fractured at the end of the tests. Tools with K = 1 and unprepared cutting edge allowed the machining of intermediate volumes. Regarding tool wear mechanisms, abrasion, adhesion, and chipping were predominant, in addition to tool breakage, which occurred in 75% of the experiments. Furthermore, in all cases, increased tool wear led to increased surface roughness, due to possible variations in microgeometry.

This thesis contains a compilation of the work developed and is divided into three main parts. The first part describes the homogeneous and inhomogeneous decoherence mechanisms of excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. It was demonstrated that, for low temperatures, the main decoherence mechanisms are associated to the acoustic phonon scattering and short-range interactions. Fur- thermore, the results of magneto-photoluminescence with the luminescence re- solved with circular polarization, a modulation for one of the spin components of the exciton was presented as a result of a competition between short-range in- teractions and spin-flip scattering. In the second part of this thesis, the influence of substrate orientation on spin relaxation mechanism is detailed. Firtsly, it was shown that the oscillations in the integrated intensity of the luminescence in the high magnetic field regime are due to the relaxation process through the Landau levels of the electron and hole subbands, whereby the substrate orientation has no influence on these oscillations. Furthermore, it has been shown in the present study that spin inversion occurs only for the orientation of the GaAs (311)A sur- face, which is observed both with temperature and power dependence. Finally, a theoretical framework was created in order to explain the spin inversion, with- out the need of a conjecture as previously proposed. In the third and final part, the results of the magnetic control of carrier transfer are presented for the hybrid samples composed of InAs/GaAs quantum dot - InGaAs/GaAs quantum well separeted by different GaAs spacer layer. For the thicker spacer, the photolumi- nescence emission has the same behavior as the reference ones. In comparison, for the thinner hybrid sample, an increase in the integrated QW intensity was ob- served with an increasing in magnetic field, which was attributed to a change in the coupling between QD and QW as well as a change in the carrier dynamics.

Habitat loss and fragmentation has been a reality faced by many natural landscapes. This scenario results in negative impacts on natural ecological processes, such as individual dispersion across landscapes, which plays a major role in genetic diversity, reproduction and species distribution. Changes in land use and cover has been one of the main factors responsible for altering these natural processes, in addition to reductions of the native habitats for many species. The Alto Paranapanema Basin is one of the examples of these anthropogenic landscapes in which natural areas are reduced and fragmented and landscapes become occupied by other land uses. This region, which still holds large blocks of the Atlantic Forest biome, is home of many endemic and endangered species, such as the Leontopithecus chrysopygus (black lion tamarin). The present work aimed to analyze the patterns of occurrence of the species in the years 1987 and 2017, considering structural and functional characteristics of the landscape. In order to achieve this objective, landscape metrics were applied to understand the spatial changes of the landscape, and graph theory was used to determine the functionally connected area, considering the dispersal capacity of the species. The results showed that the black lion tamarin occurs, on average, in fragments larger than 500 ha, and this value is significantly larger than the average available fragments in the landscape (approximately 5 ha). However, when considering the ability to disperse between fragments, the species manages to reach large functionally connected areas, reaching home ranges greater than 1,000 ha in particular regions of the landscape. This connectivity is generally promoted by small fragments that are arranged between large patches of habitats, forming corridors (mainly Permanent Protection Areas - APPs), which allow individuals to reach different forest fragments. In addition, it was noted that part of the matrix surrounding the fragments is predominantly forestry, indicating that the species may also be using these areas to disperse and reach fragments of native vegetation. These results suggest that the implementation of ecological corridors is a good and viable alternative for increasing the home range of the black lion tamarin, mainly through the restoration of riparian APPs.

Spirituality and overload of women older caregivers with and without difficulty sleeping In the Brazilian context, the responsibility for caring for the older people is commonly attributed to female family members. Daily care tasks can lead to complaints related to difficulty sleeping, generate overload, affect physical and mental health, as well as reduce the time the caregiver spends on work, spiritual and leisure activities. This research aims to verify whether there is an association between self-reported difficulty sleeping, overload and spirituality of women older caregivers of elderly people. This is a descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study that will compare data from older women who are informal caregivers of older people treated at Family Health Units in the city of São Carlos - SP, divided into two groups: (a) Group of womem older caregivers without self-reported sleeping difficulties (b) Group of womem older caregivers with self-reported sleeping difficulties. The data collection instruments used were: (a) Characterization Form for Womem Older Caregivers, (b) Spirituality Assessment Scale by Pinto and Pais-Ribeiro and (c) Zarit Burden Scale – Short Version. The data obtained were entered into a bank using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows program to carry out descriptive and comparative statistical analyses. The sample had a mean age of 68.92 years (Md=67.00; xmín=60,00; xmáx=98,00),), 3.67 years of schooling (Md=4.00; xmín=0,00; xmáx=18,00), individual and family income of 0 .89 and 3.10 minimum wages (individual and family, respectively). Most were married or had a partner (91.3%, n=240), white (68.1%, n=179), Catholic (63.9%, n=168), practicing a religion (81 .4%, n=214), retired (61.2%, n=161), with insufficient income perception (52.2%, n=138) and without health insurance (79.5%, n=209). With regard to the characteristics of care, the responsibility of caring for the spouse was the most frequent (n=230, 87.5%) followed by parents (n=17, 6.5%) and siblings (n=12, 4, 6%). The care, for the most part, was performed without training (n=255, 97.0%), for long periods of time (M=122.37 months, Md=60.0, xMín=0,00; xMáx=708,00) and long hours daily (M=6.00, Md=4.00, xMín=1,00; xMáx=24,00). The prevalence of self-reported difficulty sleeping was 51.7%. Comparative analyzes revealed significant differences between groups, caregivers with difficulty sleeping presenting the highest total burden score (U=7328.00; p=0.034) and caregivers without difficulty sleeping presenting the highest total spirituality score (U=7270.50; p=0.020). It is concluded that womem older caregivers with sleeping difficulties have a greater burden and less spirituality when compared to caregivers without sleeping difficulties.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a non-invasive approach to measure the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max), which is an index to assess cardiovascular fitness (CF). However, CPET is not available to all populations and cannot be obtained continuously. Thus, wearable sensors are associated with machine learning (ML) algorithms to investigate CF. Therefore, this study aimed to predict CF by using ML algorithms using data obtained by wearable technologies. For this purpose, 43 volunteers with different levels of aerobic power, who wore a wearable device to collect unobtrusive data for 7 days, were evaluated by CPET. Eleven inputs (sex, age, weight, height, and body mass index, breathing rate, minute ventilation, total hip acceleration, walking cadence, heart rate, and tidal volume) were used to predict the VO2 max by support vector regression (SVR). Afterward, the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was used to explain their results. SVR was able to predict the CF, and the SHAP method showed that the inputs related to hemodynamic and anthropometric domains were the most important ones to predict the CF. Therefore, we conclude that the cardiovascular fitness can be predicted by wearable technologies associated with machine learning during unsupervised activities of daily living.

Due to the recurrence and severity of violence against women, which surpasses alarming numbers, especially amid the health and political crisis caused by the pandemic caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in the country, the discussion on the topic becomes fundamental in order to rethink, from state actions, how gender inequality, which intersects with factors of race and class deeply rooted in social practices, is still present in Brazilian society. In this situation, this work sought to understand how public agents act in the scope of the criminal justice system, through assistance to cases of violations of women's sexual dignity, since they are the most burdened with moral stereotypes. The qualitative research was carried out through a literature review and virtual field research, using interviews (via videoconferences) with public servants of the justice system who perform their duties in specialized units for women. As a result, it is highlighted that the prevention, restraint, and assistance of violence against women require multi-sectorial and multidisciplinary reflections and actions that directly affect the structure and current reality of the phenomenon organizing social reality. With a special emphasis on investment in democratizing security and justice institutions, with a gender and ethnic-racial perspective, aiming at women's inclusion and access to this institutional space.

In the context of e-Science, there is a large production of data by researchers. Research data demand a high degree of contextualization and need proper management in repositories, in order to maximize its benefits, such as increased visibility for the researcher and for an institution. But to do so, it is not enough to make them available on the web, it is necessary to pay attention to international good practices that aim to increase the integrity and value of data, as is the case with the FAIR principles. Through an exploratory and descriptive research with a qualiquantitative approach, this study aims to assess the level of compliance of research data deposited in institutional repositories regards to the FAIR principles. The sample consists of repositories of the State of São Paulo mapped in the metasearch engine of the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo. Data were collected with the help of the F-UJI tool, then compiled into Google Sheets for analysis. It was possible to verify that the interoperable and reusable facets were the most difficult to adhere to, with most datasets obtaining a score of 0 or 1 out of a maximum of 4, and a score of 1 or 2 out of a maximum of 10, respectively. The findable facet was the one with the greatest adherence by the datasets, which reached scores such as 6, 4 and 3.5 out of a maximum of 7. The best evaluated datasets were deposited in repositories using Dataverse (Unicamp e UFABC), and all six repositories in the sample used the Dublin Core. Overall, the scores received by the sample datasets were low, with the highest adherence equal to 50% and the lowest 14%. Feedback was given to all six institutions, which could be guided to implement the FAIR principles, aiming for more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable datasets. From the results, it was possible to suggest a minimum set of 15 descriptive metadata elements for the representation of research data.

The field study was performed intermittently between 2018 and 2022 using participant observation, informal conversations and semi-structured interviews, initially in the city of São Bernardo do Campo; with the pandemic of COVID-19, and the resulting shift from field study to the digital environment, the study included people displaced by the Syrian conflict living in other Brazilian cities as well. Mediation occurred mainly through an online course of Portuguese for migrants where I taught as a voluntary teacher in 2020 and 2021. Here, the social networks are assessed under several perspectives – practical support, family relationships, marriage arrangements, sociability, and emotional support – that reveal that loneliness traverses all aspects of the participants’ lives. Thus, I argue that loneliness, although not an all-encompassing feeling, articulates the experiences of these migrants amid the forced displacement and the forging of their lives in Brazil, to the extent that not only it is produced within these several aspects, but also indicates the relationship between them: sometimes loneliness produced in one aspect increases the loneliness created in another (as happens in the relation with the State in face of the public policies of reception and the creation of networks where they can get practical support), sometimes it is expected that some parts of life can alleviate loneliness and absences felt in other parts (marriage is seen by some participants as such an event since it is invested of potential to offer moments of sociability, sources of practical and emotional support and/or job opportunities, something that Zbeidy (2020b) has pointed out in her studies in Jordan). I also show that, although articulating those migrant experiences, the loneliness I have found in the field is not homogeneous, being present in several ways in their lives

The discharge of untreated domestic sewage compromises water quality, leading to imbalance in receiving bodies and enhancing the influx of pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic-resistant strains, thereby posing a significant public health problem. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of removing total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus spp., and to detect the presence of Salmonella spp. at different stages of a simulated blackwater treatment system. Additionally, it involved isolating and biochemically confirming bacterial strains (excluding total coliforms) and delineating the antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolates.The investigated system, situated at the Monjolinho Sewage Treatment Plant in São Carlos (SP), comprises an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor followed by a tubular photobioreactor. Weekly samples were collected from simulated blackwater (AN), UASB reactor effluent (RU), and tubular photobioreactor effluent (FT). Nine collections were performed in Experiment I (08/2018 to 10/2018), and eight in Experiment II (03/2019 to 06/2019).Serial dilution-based counting revealed a notable reduction in microbiological load throughout the treatment system. Compared to AN, the average reduction in RU was 91.1%, and 99.3% and 91.6% for FT concerning AN and RU, respectively. Predictive Salmonella spp. colonies were detected in 6, 4, and 5 samples of AN, RU, and FT, respectively. Additional tests and antibiograms of confirmed isolates were conducted: for E. coli, MAR (Multiple Antimicrobial Resistance) indices for AN, RU, and FT groups reached 0.16, with 67% of samples being sensitive to all tested antibiotics, displaying higher resistance to Ampicillin 10μg and Tetracycline 30μg; Enterococcus spp., with MAR indices not exceeding 0.11, and up to 77% of samples being sensitive to all antibiotics, exhibiting higher resistance to Tetracycline 30μg and Streptomycin 300μg; and Salmonella spp., where in Experiment I, only one RU sample showed resistance, and in Experiment II, RU and AN exhibited MAR indices of 0.20 and 0.05, respectively, with higher resistance to Ampicillin 10μg and Tetracycline 30μg.In conclusion, the UASB reactor proved to be an effective blackwater treatment, resulting in lower microbiological load and reduced resistance (except for Salmonella spp. results). The photobioreactor, in addition to microbiological load reduction, can recycle nutrients, preventing eutrophication of the water bodies to which the effluent is directed. Nevertheless, further tests on a larger scale are necessary to substantiate and better define the reduction in load from the UASB effluent, and especially to investigate whether the difference in resistance between UASB and photobioreactor effluents is significant.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the most prevalent non-psychotic symptoms among nursing professionals arising in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic at work. METHOD: A quantitative, observational and cross-sectional study carried out with support from FAPESP, carried out with nursing workers from public services at three levels of health care in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Data collection took place online through an instrument composed of sociodemographic and labor information and the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) scale, available on the research project's website link. In the descriptive analysis of the data, frequency distributions were estimated. RESULTS: Results were obtained from a sample of 175 nursing professionals, 81.7% women and 18.3% men, with a predominance of Nursing technicians or assistants (62.9%) and a higher prevalence in the age group between 20 and 39 years (56.6%) among the participants. Most participants reported having worked on the front line (78.3%) without taking time off from their activities (68.6%). With regard to mental distress, 93 (53.1%) were positively screened for mental distress using the SRQ-20 scale. The main symptoms reported were: sleeping poorly, feeling nervous, tense or worried, feeling tired all the time, getting tired easily and frequent headaches. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is concluded that despite the pandemic moment being under control, nursing workers are in a situation of mental suffering, presenting non-psychotic symptoms, probably triggered and/or intensified by the previous phases of the pandemic, which requires special attention, constant monitoring and future.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a complex medical procedure, whose basic principle is to destroy the diseased bone marrow and transfer normal progenitor cells to the individual, which can be autologous, syngeneic or allogeneic (related, unrelated or haploidentical). During treatment, patients and their families go through critical stages, where pain and Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) are commonly described complications, which can lead to negative changes in their quality of life (QOL). Objective: The present study aims to validate the PedsQL Stem Cell Transplant Module (PedsQL–SCTM) for use with the Brazilian population. Method: Methodological, cross-sectional, non-experimental study of quantitative analysis. Forty patients aged between 2 and 18 years and their guardians, representatives of HSCT between 2016 and 2022, undergoing outpatient follow-up, participated in this research. Data analysis in the validation phase was carried out by measuring reliability, reproducibility and internal consistency and factor analysis of the instrument, submitted by Cronbach's Alpha Statistics Test and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with Kaiser's aid. Concurrent validity was measured between the PedsQL-SCTM (quality of life) and the Pediatric Assessment of Disability Inventory - Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) (functionality). Results: Inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability demonstrated excellent agreement (ICC = 1,000 (p <0.000)). Internal consistency was divided into satisfactory and unsatisfactory results, with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total score being 0.851, indicating high reliability. As for the confirmatory factor analysis, 70% of the items had adequate factor loading. Regarding concurrent validity, ICC values below 0.4 indicate that there was no correlation between the PedsQL-SCTM and the PEDI-CAT, indicating that both assess different constructs. The average scores of the questionnaires answered by the age groups from 8 to 18 years were 76.65. As for the questionnaire answered by those responsible, comprising the age group from 2 to 7 years, the average score was 76.73. Conclusion: Statistical analysis indicated satisfactory results, confirming that the instrument has the necessary psychometric properties for reliability and validity and, therefore, is applicable to Brazilian children/adolescents undergoing HSCT, as well as their guardians.

The general objective of this work is to address the reception of students with disabilities in Science and Biology Teaching in Basic Education, based on the mapping of dissertations and theses. For the composition of the corpus of analysis of this work, we used, as database, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (DLTD). For the construction and development of this study, a qualitative methodology was chosen, considering the execution of a Systematic Mapping of the selected academic productions, as well as the contributions of Falbo (2018) and Vosgerau and Romanovski (2014), providing the composition of the corpus of analysis and production of results. Twelve articles published by DLTD were analyzed. The mapping of academic productions was carried out by reading and recording these works, which were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and segmented according to the theme addressed by each one. At first, they were divided into three groups that deal with the deficiencies worked on by the selected texts, namely intellectual and mental disabilities, visual disabilities, and students with disabilities in general. Subsequently, the dissertations were analyzed based on their general objectives, with which it was possible to gather them into three topics based on the theme discussed by the theses, namely “Conception and perception of the teacher in relation to the student with a disability”, “Importance of using pedagogical practices and resources for teaching students with disabilities” and “Other topics”. The analyzed academic productions point to the importance of educational reception for the teaching-learning of students with disabilities and how this reception facilitates interpersonal interactions and helps in the development of effective educational practices. They also show the need for continuing education for teachers, as it is through this knowledge that educators can produce pedagogical resources adapted for students with disabilities. About reception in the teaching of Science and Biology, only one thesis was found and with it is concluded that it is necessary to bring to the teaching of Biology practices that involve and benefit the student with disability, but that also include the student without disabilities and provide welcome for these groups of students, favoring teaching and learning on an equal basis for everyone.

The social, functional and structural changes in the individual as he ages generate socioeconomic and public health impacts. Elderly people demand specialized care and actions to prevent negative outcomes related to aging, such as frailty. Given the complexity of the multidimensional processes of fragility and its negative impacts, it is important to verify the aspects related to it. Hearing loss, as a prevalent condition in the elderly population with consequent emotional and social harm, such as restriction to participation, should be considered in studies with elderly populations. Thus, this dissertation aimed to verify whether there is an association between auditory participation restriction and frailty in elderly people. For this, a cross-sectional study was carried out with 238 elderly people (age ≥ 60 years), which resulted in two articles. Article 1: “Hearing Handicap and Frailty in Community Elderly People” whose objective was to verify the relationship between auditory handicap and frailty in community-dwelling elderly people. The Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly - Screening version - HHIE-S questionnaire was applied to assess participation restriction through auditory handicap. Frailty was assessed according to the Frailty Phenotype proposed by Fried et al. As a result, there was a greater restriction on participation in pre-frail and frail individuals, compared to non-frail individuals. Article 2: “Restriction to participation and self-perception of hearing loss: association with physical, cognitive and social frailty in elderly people”. It aimed to verify the association between physical, cognitive and social frailty with the restriction of auditory participation in elderly people. Physical frailty was assessed according to the five criteria of the Phenotype of Frailty, cognitive frailty was characterized by the simultaneous presence of physical frailty and cognitive decline, as indicated by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and social frailty was assessed by an index of five questions from social domains. The Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly - Screening version - HHIE-S questionnaire was applied to quantify the restriction to auditory participation. The results showed that the restriction on auditory participation was greater in groups with physical, cognitive and social frailty. Using the univariate logistic regression model with the calculation of odds ratio, it was found that at each point indicative of restriction to auditory participation, there was a 1.05 times increase in the chance of the individual belonging to the physical frailty group and 1.033 belonging to the group of cognitive fragility. There was no association between restriction of auditory participation and cognitive frailty. Thus, this dissertation showed that the restriction on auditory participation is related to physical, cognitive and social weaknesses, however, the associations were verified only between the restriction on participation and physical and cognitive weaknesses.
