Cognitive Diagnosis Models (CDMs) are discrete latent variable models that aim to determine an individual's pattern of possession of skills or attributes based on their test responses. This class includes the general diagnosis models, whose formulation allows various other CDMs to be obtained as a special case of the former. This work presents contributions to these general models under a Bayesian approach. First, we present Bayesian formulations for two general diagnosis models, the Generalized DINA (G-DINA) model, designed for dichotomous responses; and the General Polytomous Diagnosis Model (GPDM), designed for polytomous responses. These formulations include new sets of constraints on the item parameters to improve the estimation and interpretability of the model parameters. For both models, an estimation method was implemented using the JAGS software, which is available in this thesis. Moreover, for both models, a simulation study was designed to evaluate the parameters recovery accuracy of this Bayesian estimation method and the results were compared with those obtained with the standard classical estimation method. In both studies, the results indicate that the proposed Bayesian estimation method recovers all parameters with accuracy equal to or better than the classical estimation method under the evaluated scenarios. In an example of application, we use the proposed models to examine the responses of 1111 college students to the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) using a CDM in the modeling process. In the first instance, we compare the results obtained with the DINA model (adopted in the original formulation of this methodology) and the G-DINA model, both applied to the dichotomized data. In the second instance, we compare the results obtained with the G-DINA model, applied to dichotomized data, and the GPDM, applied to original polytomous data. At last, in another example of application, we present a new recommendation system for movies that incorporates a CDM in its formulation. The CDM is used to predict the ratings that a user would give to each item and make recommendations based on these predictions. The proposed method was applied to two movie datasets and its performance compared to other recommendation systems found in the literature, presenting results superior to the competing methods.

Cancer represents the third leading cause of death among men, behind only deaths arising from diseases of the circulatory system and violent external causes. The advancement of medical technologies has provided greater prospects for controlling and curing cancer, which means that patients live longer with the disease, the treatment and the impacts arising from it. Because of this, the issue of health quality of life for men with cancer has become a central issue in the field of oncology. Therefore, the main objective of this manuscript is to analyze the quality of life, global health and self-care in men with cancer. The theoretical approach to the research objective will be carried out mainly from health psychology studies and the behavioral analytical approach. Three different chapters make up this manuscript: the first reports an article that discussed indicators of mortality and illness in males in Brazil. The second chapter is a narrative review of international literature, regarding changes in the quality of life of men undergoing cancer treatment. For the third chapter, field research is proposed, with a cross-sectional design, descriptive and correlational objective, regarding data collection, field research was used and for data analysis, the quantitative approach. The instruments applied were the script for consulting the medical record on sociodemographic characteristics and the clinical history of medical treatment, to assess quality of life the WHOQOL-bref, referring to global health PROMIS level 1 will be used, referring to sexual function the sexual quotient – male version (QS-M) and to describe the sample's health care repertoire, a semi-structured interview guide. In the main results, it was found that the general average quality of life of the sample was low (M= 29.5 and SD= 3), the four domains evaluated by the instrument also achieved low scores, especially in the physical domain, the worst commitment (M=22.9 and SD=9). In PROMIS I, it was observed that five of the thirteen care indicators were detected in 50% or more of the participants, namely: anxiety (86%), anger (80%), depression (71%), thoughts/ repetitive behaviors (69%) and substance use (59%). Concerning the sexual satisfaction indicator, obtained with the QS-M, the general score was low (M= 31.5 SD= 1.8), with a poor to unfavorable performance pattern predominating, in 45% of participants. At a confidence level of 95% and significance of 0.05, the parametric hypothesis tests used showed that the average quality of life is not distributed homogeneously when evaluated by clinically relevant groups. The main selfinjured health problems were: hypertension with 31%, anxiety with 25%, depression with 19%, diabetes with 18%, lung/respiratory problems with 10%, overweight with 8%, heart disease with 5% and other problems of health with 2%. Both risk behavior and protection were found to be in use more frequently among those at risk. The cluster analysis revealed two patient profiles: “highly critical” and “moderately critical”. It is concluded that the overall health of men undergoing cancer treatment requires attention, not only due to the reduction in the quality of life that they may be exposed to, but above all because they have a scarce repertoire of self-care that they frequently present, in addition to exposing themselves to risk factors. to health. Health professionals working in oncology must be aware of these dimensions of the relationship between masculinity and health to provide assistance that is more in line with the needs of these subjects.

The hydrogenation of CO2 to commercially relevant products such as alcohol, coupled with the use of renewable energy, can curb indiscriminate emissions of this gas, and reduce dependence on fossil resources. Due to their excellent performance, copper catalysts have been extensively investigated for CO2 hydrogenation. However, this reaction presents challenges regarding product selectivity, catalyst stability, and the use of non-fossil co-reactants. Thus, MOFs can be used as supports for Cu catalysts and have the potential to address some of these gaps, as they can generate interfaces that protect active sites, preventing deactivation and stabilizing intermediates in the reaction, thereby enhancing the selectivity of desired products. Moreover, using water as a co-reactant in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction allows for the use of a clean hydrogen source. Based on this, this work aims to synthesize Cu/UiO-67 for application in CO2 hydrogenation, using water steam and H2 as co-reactants. The impact of precursors and copper loading, the influence of the metal center, the addition of promoters, and the synthesis method of these materials were evaluated in reactions between CO2 and H2, always aiming for the best catalytic performance concerning ethanol production at atmospheric pressure. In a second stage, reactions between CO2 and water steam were conducted to optimize reaction parameters and identify the influence of oxidized species on alcohol formation. Through XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR-ATR, TGA, N2 physisorption, TPD-CO2 and H2-TPR, it was possible to study, respectively, the crystalline structure, morphology, characteristic bands of these materials, thermal stability, textural properties, basicity, and reducibility profile of the materials. From the hydrogenation of CO2 using water vapor or H2, the formation of alcohols was observed in all investigated catalysts. Based on the studies conducted, it was possible to conclude that catalysts with a Zr metal center and potassium addition showed better performance, especially K-Cu/UiO-67, which achieved a productivity of 102 µmolEtOH.h-1.gCu- 1, a 32% increase compared to the unpromoted catalyst. This behavior may be associated with the increase in basic sites capable of improving CO2 stabilization on the catalyst surface. The use of water enabled an increase in methanol productivity at low temperatures, and with the variation of the activation temperature, there was a continuous increase in ethanol productivity reaching 18.2 µmolEtOH.h-1.gCu-1 at Tactivation=260°C, with Treaction=180°C and a H2O/CO2 molar ratio of 1, indicating a positive influence of oxidized species such as Cu+ in alcohol formation.

Worldwide, a great research effort is being employed in the development of Medium/high entropy alloys (M/HEAs). Among the M/HEAs produced to date, great emphasis is given to the equiatomic Co20Cr20Fe20Mn20Ni20 (at.%) alloy due to its good combination of strength and ductility. Studies in this field are increasingly being expanded to non-equiatomic compositions, and there is great opportunity in the development of M/HEAs with excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, based on thermodynamics calculations (CALPHAD method) novel non-equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi M/HEAs were designed aiming at obtaining optimized mechanical properties, tailoring deformation behaviors (TRIP-TWIP) via constituent concentrations. A total of 3 non-equiatomic M/HEAs (Co15Cr15Fe50Mn10Ni10, Co20Cr20Fe40Mn10Ni10, and Co25Cr25Fe30Mn10Ni10) were produced; the alloys were then annealed, thermomechanically processed, characterized, and mechanically tested by tensile tests. The annealed and deformed samples were characterized by a combination of electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (HE-SXRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was revealed that increased Co and Cr reduced stacking fault energy (SFE), increasing recrystallization rate and suppressing grain growth rate. Grain refinement was more effective in the Co25Cr25 alloy, where the optimal strength-toughness occurred. Due to the decrease in SFE, a transition in the dominant deformation behavior occurred from TWIP (Co15Cr15) to TWIP/TRIP (Co20Cr20) and finally to TRIP (Co25Cr25), with the TRIP being more pronounced in Co25Cr25. This work sheds light on the development of novel FCC M/HEAs from the CoCrFeMnNi system, by identifying alloys that exhibit an optimal strength-ductility balance.

NEW APPROACHES TO INCREASE THE SURVIVAL AND EFFICIENCY OF PHOSPHATE- SOLUBILIZING BACILLUS STRAINS. In a context where global population growth and the exacerbated impacts of climate change pose critical challenges to food security and environmental sustainability, the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices emerges as an urgent necessity. In this scenario, species of the genus Bacillus, notable for their resilience and ability to promote plant growth through, for example, the solubilization of nutrients such as phosphorus, are explored as microbial inoculants, due to their potential to increase agricultural productivity. However, the variability of environmental conditions highlights challenges regarding the survival and efficiency of these inoculants, demanding strategic innovations. This research proposes an integrated methodology aiming to enhance the survival and efficacy of phosphorus-solubilizing Bacillus strains, thus establishing a sustainable and ecologically responsible alternative to conventional chemical fertilizers. This approach was outlined through three strategic axes: 1) optimizing cultivation conditions to increase the microorganisms' resistance to environmental stresses; 2) encapsulation in biopolymeric matrices to ensure controlled release and protection of the inoculants; 3) the application of Laboratory Adaptive Evolution (ALE) to select strains with improved salinity and drought resistance and growth-promoting capabilities. Adjustments in the cultivation process parameters, such as pH and temperature, along with production scale, resulted in a significant increase in the production of resistant microbial spores, reaching a concentration of 1.31·1012 CFU/mL in a bubble column bioreactor, with a sporulation efficiency of 100%, heat resistance of 78.4%, and an energy efficiency 4.83·1010 CFU/J. The encapsulation technique, employing starch-based biopolymeric matrices with additives like maltodextrin, cellulose, and bentonite, demonstrated protection of the inoculants against environmental stressors, such as UV and extreme temperatures. Different release profiles were observed among the modified films, with variations in initial and prolonged release rates, demonstrating the influence of material properties on the diffusion of microorganisms. While the addition of maltodextrin accelerated the release of microorganisms, cellulose and bentonite increased retention and allowed for gradual release. The application of ALE resulted in the development of Bacillus strains with greater tolerance to saline and water stress, capable of solubilizing phosphorus, producing exopolysaccharides, and forming biofilms. This research offers a significant contribution to the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices by improving the viability and functionality of microbial inoculants, representing an alternative in the face of contemporary challenges of food security and environmental sustainability.

Before the 1980s, research and investigations into aircraft accidents identified human errors as the main cause of aeronautical accidents. These failures primarily occurred in interpersonal communications, decision-making, and leadership. The solution provided by the industry, government, and aerospace agencies was to apply a set of training and practices based on psychological aspects and simulations, which were termed Crew Resource Management (CRM) and have since increasingly enhanced aircraft operations' safety. Other industries recognized the advantages of CRM and began applying it to their own operations, especially in high-risk industries. Despite numerous advancements and the use of high technology, the manufacturing industry faces challenges related to operational quality and safety, including those of employees and equipment. CRM could be a tool to mitigate negative consequences related to these challenges. This work aimed to summarize, through a Systematic Literature Review using the PRISMA method, how CRM is applied in various industries, particularly in manufacturing and non-civil aviation transportation. It also aimed to understand, using field research at an automotive manufacturer in south-eastern Brazil, whether a safety culture already exists and whether it could facilitate the implementation of CRM programs and training in the manufacturing industry. It also aimed to assess its congruences and discrepancies compared to the Systematic Literature Review. The results showed that, with well-crafted adaptations, CRM training can be applied across industries to enhance operational safety, productivity, and the quality of products and services.

La cannabis es una de las plantas más antiguas cultivadas por la humanidad. A lo largo de la historia, sin embargo, sus usos han sido objeto de prohibición. En las últimas décadas, algunos territorios mundiales han adoptado reformas político-jurídicas en relación con la cannabis, legalizando sus usos. En Brasil, aún no existe una política nacional robusta sobre el tema, pero ya existe la posibilidad de acceso al uso medicinal de la planta. Tanto globalmente como nacionalmente, diversos factores motivaron la prohibición en el siglo pasado y han motivado el cambio de paradigma reciente. Sin embargo, detrás de cada factor, podemos notar la influencia de la ciencia en las políticas relacionadas con esta planta. La presente investigación busca analizar el papel de la ciencia (a través de las prácticas de producción, comunicación y divulgación científicas) sobre las políticas de prohibición y, más recientemente, de acceso legal a la cannabis en Brasil, desde la perspectiva CTS. A través del estudio de caso de la Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos da Cannabis Sativa (SBEC), se buscará demostrar la importante interfaz entre la ciencia y las políticas públicas, con el objetivo de evidenciar la función primordial de la ciencia para todos los espectros de la sociedad.

The connection between sleep disorders and chronic musculoskeletal pain is bidirectional, as inadequate sleep can amplify muscle tension, whereas chronic pain can reduce sleep quality. Both disorders are highly prevalent in nurses. This article aims to evaluate the correlation between sleep quality and musculoskeletal symptoms in the nursing team of a university hospital. We designed a cross-sectional study that included 40 nursing practitioners who work exclusively in the emergency department. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to verify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and the sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Most of the professionals were overweight and had at least one chronic comorbidity. The highest prevalence of symptoms was at the lower back. There is a nine fold increased risk of presenting musculoskeletal symptoms for professionals with poor sleep quality (OR = 9.0 [95% CI, 1.5-53.9]).

The carbonyl index aims to measure the degradation level and is used in plastic degradation research as a proxy for the general degradation level of collected plastic pieces. According to the choices for carbonyl index calculation, comparison using this index is prevented and must be unveiled by the authors, which does not always happen. In order to study the proper usage of the carbonyl index, regarding the choice of the reference band and the usage of the band intensity or the absorption area, we systematically reviewed the methodologies used for polypropylene as a case study. Based on 95 studies gathered from 2000 to 2024, two main methods were used to determine the carbonyl index: the ratio between the carbonyl band area and the reference band area (33.68%) and the ratio between the highest intensity of the carbonyl band and the reference band (66.31%). The reference band of choice and the type of calculation method produce different carbonyl index values for the same spectra and mean different information, preventing comparison among works with different calculations.

Verbal behavior, like all operant behavior, produces consequences capable of maintaining, increasing or decreasing its frequency. It is analyzed based on units called verbal operants, intraverbal being one of them. Studies have shown the importance of teaching intraverbals to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as this group experiences greater difficulty with these repertoires. The aim of this study was to verify the effects of teaching tact and listener behavior on the emergence of complex intraverbals in the question-answer format. The participants comprised four children diagnosed with ASD. Initially, the CARS protocol was applied with the family, an intraverbal repertoire survey protocol and a probe with twenty questions in three baseline sessions. Of these questions, three that the participant did not answer correctly were selected for the teaching phases. The other seven questions were used as controls. Next, they were exposed to the teaching of name-figure and question-figure conditional discriminations and a tactile test for the figures. Finally, the ten questions were reapplied. The results show that new questions emerged from the teaching, which may contribute to teaching savings.

Caterpillars of the genus Spodoptera are polyphagous herbivorous insects, meaning they feed on a wide variety of crops, which are of great economic interest in Brazil, including corn, cotton, sorghum, and soybeans. Although these crops are well protected by their main defensive compounds, such as flavonoids, larvae of species in this genus are still able to develop in plantations, suggesting a high detoxification capacity against these compounds, despite little being known about the products of this metabolism. Available data on the adaptation of phytophagous insects to plant chemical defenses suggest that, although the chemical structure of some synthetic insecticides is similar to these xenobiotics, defense characteristics differ between these two selection classes. Thus, this work aimed to identify and compare the products of flavonoid metabolism by these insects and the genes and enzymes involved in these biotransformations, which may provide information about their high capacity to adapt to new host plants, potentially revealing new strategies for their control in the field. This study aimed to investigate the detoxification capacity of flavonoids and isoflavones in species of the genus Spodoptera. Qualitative analysis of fecal extracts from these insects was performed by LC-MS/MS after oral administration of the compounds of interest, and the data obtained from each species were compared. The resulting molecular network from mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analyses in positive mode consisted of 3457 precursor ions for S. frugiperda extract, 1644 for S. cosmioides extract, and 728 for S. eridania extract, which were presented as nodes (interconnected or unique). Additionally, the GNPS platform was able to annotate a total of 36, 42, and 29 substances for S. frugiperda, S. cosmioides, and S. eridania, respectively, providing a comprehensive visualization of the compounds present in the extracts of the respective treatments. It is worth noting that among these compounds annotated by GNPS, only 7 substances were considered of interest for the discussion of S. frugiperda results, 9 substances for S. cosmioides, and 8 for S. eridania. Furthermore, an additional 9 substances, which were not annotated, were considered derivatives of compounds with a flavanic nucleus. In addition to mono-glycosylated derivatives in fecal extracts from the 3 tested caterpillar species with the 4 aglycones, other compounds were identified in fecal extracts of Spodoptera frugiperda, S. cosmioides, and S. eridania larvae fed only with diet enriched with aglycone standards, including different regioisomers. It was observed that S. eridania was able to glycosylate only the daidzein standard, while S. frugiperda and S. cosmioides presented glycosylated derivatives of all administered standards, generating possibly less toxic compounds. Our results provide qualitative information about possible biochemical reactions employed by 3 species of the genus Spodoptera in the metabolism of compounds with a flavanic skeleton and significantly contribute to future research on their chemically defended "insect-plant" interactions.

Walking is the most basic and fundamental way of mobility, allowing connectivity and interaction between the individual and the built environment. However, research has demonstrated that the characteristics of the built environment influences the perceived security by pedestrians and the option to walk. Furthermore, gender is one of the most relevant variables in this aspect, considering that the chances of women choosing to travel on foot are approximately twice smaller compared to men. Bearing in mind that security concerns the prevention of risks to the personal, physical and psychological integrity of the individual, this research is based on the following question: what evaluation method can support the planning of urban areas perceptibly more secure for walking, especially for women? Thus, the general objective of this work was to propose a method of evaluating of the urban space in terms of the perceived security by women when walking. The study consisted of three stages: (1) selection of characteristics of the built environment that interfere on the perceived security of pedestrians, considering mainly the female gender; (2) definition of an instrument of evaluating of the perception of security of the pedestrian in urban spaces, through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP); and (3) carrying out a case study in an urban area with the aim of mapping locations that are more or less secure perceptibly for pedestrians, considering gender, using a Geographic Information System (GIS). For the development of the stage 1, a bibliographical review was carried out about the topic, made possible through analysis of national and international publications, of scientific and technical nature, available in libraries and virtual search engines. In the stage 2, a questionnaire was applied to obtain the weights and the prioritization hierarchy of the measures and aspects previously selected, through the perception of the interviewees, considering the general average and the gender filter, as well as ethnicity, age group and sexual orientation. As for the stage 3, the central area of the city of Franca (SP) was delimited as the object of study. In general, the results are (i) the proposal of eight measures grouped into four aspects of the urban space; (ii) obtaining the following prioritization hierarchy, from the most important aspect to the least important by the general average: circulation of people (0,30), surveillance (0,27), street maintenance (0,22) and attractiveness of the urban space (0,21); and (iii) visualization of differences in the evaluation of the study area regarding to the perception of security between female and male pedestrians.

In this work, we aimed to answer the question: what is the 'literary experience' sold by TAG - Literary Experiences? TAG is a book club with two subscription modalities, TAG - curation and TAG - unpublished, which monthly sends its members a 'surprise' box containing a collectible book jacket, an exclusive edition book, a magazine, a bookmark, and a literary gift. As a methodology of analysis, we consider this monthly sent box as a medium (DEBRAY, 1993; 2000), that is, a technical object mediating institutional and subjective relationships that in its double body, organized matter (OM) and materialized organization (MO), allows us to articulate three levels of analysis: the material, the diachronic, and the political. At the material level, we understand the objects that compose the box as editorial objects (SALGADO, 2020) organized by signifying values that lead to public circulation and project a reading public, that is, they are vectors of sensitivity (MO) pointing to a sociability matrix (OM). To discuss how the political and diachronic levels materialize in the sent box, we use the concepts of literary discourse (MAINGUENEAU, 2018a), technical-scientific-informational environment (SANTOS, 2013, 2006a, 2006b), and society of control (HAN, 2020; 2019; 2015 & SILVEIRA, 2018). Analyzing our object from the perspective of literary discourse allows us to describe the strategies that the company uses to position and validate itself in the literary field. Moreover, we could describe the textual scenography on the website and in the editorials of the sent magazines and the ethos that emerge from there, pointing to the same values: convenience, proximity, and performance. Ethos characteristic of digital media (SALGADO, 2021) that, supported by the Promethean tradition (MARTINS, 2012), make the 'literary experience' reach the members as a fable: 'a way to read more and better'. Framing our object in the context of the technical-scientific-informational environment allowed us to analyze how the characteristics of this environment also permeate the construction of meaning of the 'literary experience'. We understand that sending the same book with the same design and with a magazine containing a step-by-step guide to enjoy the 'monthly experience' homogenizes the relationship of the members with the reading of the sent book and with the 'literary experience' itself. In this sense, we intend to demonstrate through the description of the October 2022 and February 2023 boxes that this 'experience' acts as a verticality to its members, imposing a reading rhythm (one book per month) and controlling their perceptions and interpretations of both the book's story and what the 'literary experience' is. Thus, we describe in this work how the objects that compose the box sent by TAG (MO) constitute what the 'literary experience' is (OM) and how the 'literary experience' (OM) organizes the objects that compose the box sent by TAG (MO)."

The objective of this work is to evaluate manufacture variations over thermoplastic composite materials of polypropylene reinforced with glass fibers (FV) regarding their tensile and flexural mechanical properties (PMs). The samples are produced by a partner company located in São Carlos - SP, Brazil, and manufacture variation are as described: geometry of the heated die (pin, MP, and waves, MO), the use and the position of the conformer (d = 0 of the heated die, upper part of the conformer at d = 0 and the lower part at a distance “d” and completely away at a distance “d”), pulling speed (7 and 15 m/min), fibers with different surfaces and different concentrations of maleic anhydride (MA). The results show that the crystallinity of the materials was influenced by geometry of the heated die (MP ~ 28% and MO = 39%). The position of the conformer was shown to influence the PMs and the crystallinity, which the material C2.O1122-CM, at position d = 0, had the lowest tensile (73 MPa) and flexural (67 MPa) values and the highest crystallinity value (~35%) within the sample of the group with conformer. Through the optical microscopy it shows that the conformer did not perform well on providing a cylindrical and uniform pellet. The variations of pulling speed showed that it influences crystallinity (C2.O115 ~ 34% and C2.O215 ~ 30%) but there is no difference in PMs. Through a multivariate analysis of the group of the samples with variation of FV and MA, it was possible to observe the influence of each variable on the PMs and verify that the best condition was achieved with an intermediate FV texture and lower concentration of MA with the sample C2.O212 (tensile ~ 91 MPa and flexural = 163 MPa).

In the last decade, the national literature and the technical references available on the work in the Psychosocial Care Network have shown that, in addition to the creation of the service, the implementation of the integrated care model recommended by public health policies faces numerous theoretical and practical contradictions. In this sense, the question was how a children's and youth Psychosocial Care Center (CAPSij), located in the municipality of Bauru could be organized. The methodological support of the study is based on historical and dialectical materialism. The choice of method followed scientific criteria, combined with a critical position on capitalist society and its expressions. To fully record a proposal for action in the aforementioned Unit, it was proposed to develop theoretical-conceptual research that used the available technical-scientific accumulation as its main source. Based on a review of the national literature on the subject, published in the last 10 years, the documentary survey on the trajectory of the CAPS. Based on the theory of social determination of the health-disease process, we sought to fully understand the functions of the service, highlighting the potential, limitations and challenges that constitute the struggle to build the SUS.

Cataloging finds in Information and Communication Technologies ways to enhance and modernize its practices, products, and services. Bibliographic data comes to be analyzed individually, while metadata structures them and are crucial for describing, organizing, identifying, and incorporating them into different environments. With this configuration, forms of cooperation and reuse of bibliographic data stand out, that is, actions that can contribute to sustainability by minimizing the excess production and lack of control of this data. The objective is to establish a sustainable proposal for cataloging, in the use and economy of bibliographic data. For this purpose, domain analysis was chosen as the method, which made it possible to verify the elements that compose the current bibliographic ecosystem and identify technological trends, collective patterns, and relationships that can contribute to the sustainability of bibliographic data. As a result, guidelines for sustainable cataloging are proposed, which were possible after reflecting on the elements of cataloging that contribute to the better use of bibliographic data, and curation is discussed as a process included in cataloging. Furthermore, it was possible to point out how the improvement of the bibliographic ecosystem can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, especially SDGs 4, 8, 11, 12, and 16, highlighted in the final considerations.

The teaching of socio-emotional skills has become increasingly relevant, both in order to enable healthier relationships and as a tool to prevent violence, both inside and outside the school environment. The literature shows that school violence stems partly from social conflicts which arise due to disrespect and discrimination, in which socio-emotional competence can therefore be a key element in tackling. However, some teaching-learning and school management gaps still exist for this teaching to become effective. Considering this scenario, the general objective of this research was to reflect on the contributions of STS education to the teaching and learning of socio-emotional skills by teachers. The specific objectives were: to identify elements of the environment and relationships between teachers and members of the school community that influence the teaching-learning process and to analyze the teachers' pedagogical repertoire for teaching socio-emotional competences, from the perspective of STS Education. For this research, a case study was carried out in a state primary school in a municipality within the state of São Paulo. Data was collected through interviews with the participants: teachers and members of the pedagogical coordination team. Using a qualitative research approach, the data collected was interpreted using the thematic analysis technique. The results indicated that the teachers did not have institutional support for the complementary pedagogical training needed to work with socio-emotional education, but they did have a certain repertoire related to the subject. The school had adequate infrastructure for the teaching-learning process and a good relationship between management and teachers, but faced challenges in teacher-parents and teacher-teacher relationships. In conclusion, STS education can contribute to the teaching of socio-emotional skills through democratic education and the establishment of dialogical relationships between students and teachers, can support the development of social skills, assertiveness and citizenship, as well as promoting a tripartite dialog between the STS field, education and psychology, fostering future interdisciplinary research in the area.

This Undergraduate Thesis is part of the Educational Project of the Medicine Course at UFSCar and constitutes a brief account of my journey to graduation as a refugee student in Medicine. It also includes a concise review of Dupuytren's Disease, driven by my interest in my studies and complementary curricular activities during the final years of my undergraduate studies. The review highlights prevalent surgical procedures and the pathophysiology of the disease, emphasizing the formation of fibrous nodules in the palmar fascia due to abnormal fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen production. It further underscores that percutaneous fasciotomy has proven effective in treating advanced cases of Dupuytren's Disease. The ongoing advancement in understanding the pathophysiology and treatment options is crucial for enhancing outcomes and the quality of life for patients affected by this condition.
