The present research aimed to verify the effectiveness of the Computerized Intervention Program for training parents in the development of Executive Functions (PICFE) in children aged 7 and 8 years old. This is an empirical, quasi-experimental research and cross-sectional study with two groups: experimental (GE) and control (CG). The sample consisted of 40 children aged 7 and 8 years old, 20 children for the EG and 20 for the CG, located in different states in Brazil. In addition to the children, their parents participated in the research, as they were responsible for applying the intervention after receiving online training carried out by the researcher of the research project. PICFE consists of online games and activities inserted into the child's routine to assist in the development of planning skills, memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, as well as guidance for parents regarding the use of support strategies to be offered to their children. The intervention consists of four ecological activities, that is, inserted into the child's routine, and two computerized games that were applied only in the GE. Ecological activities took place four times a week and games three times. The average duration of intervention activities, both games and ecological activities, mediated by the children's parents was twenty minutes and took place over 8 weeks. After the training carried out for parents or guardians, the researcher was always available (via phone, WhatsApp or email) to assist or answer questions, in addition to weekly online meetings being scheduled with each person responsible for the intervention with the child to monitor the intervention. To verify the effectiveness of the training, before and after the end of the intervention program, instruments were applied to evaluate executive functions in both groups: IFERA, questionnaires for parents or guardians of the CG and EG groups and semi-structured interviews with the parents of the GE. The application of all these instruments was carried out remotely. The results of the present study point to the effectiveness of PICFE in the development of children's executive functions, mainly in inhibitory control, working memory and aversion to delay, assessed by IFERA. Through the interviews it was observed that in addition to parents noticing an improvement in executive functions such as motivation and organization, they also reported an improvement in their relationship with their children.

Members of the Order Cingulata are placental mammals with articulated bony armor covering their bodies. They represent the most diverse group within the superorder Xenarthra, among which the glyptodonts (Glyptodontinae) comprise the most peculiar armored herbivores. This is a clade whose oldest specimens originate from tropical areas of South America during the Middle to Late Miocene. Their fossil record is mainly represented by disarticulated osteoderms and skull fragments. Juvenile specimens of cingulates are relatively frequent in fossil collections; however, knowledge about their juvenile stages is still incipient. The morphological variations seen in different developmental stages of taxa are important for understanding their life history, especially concerning fossil material due to biases presented by the record. In this research, we describe two juvenile specimens of Cingulata Glyptodontinae, attributed to the genus Glyptotherium Osborn, 1903, collected at Gruta da Lapinha, Iramaia, BA. Detailed morphological evidence of juvenile individuals is described, including an almost complete hemimandible, dental morphology, postcranial bones, and the ornamentation pattern of osteoderms, as well as information regarding their diet and feeding habits derived from mesowear and microwear (texture analysis) dental studies. Additionally, the development of methodologies using tools that would be applied to teeth still attached to the mandible and extremely fragile is proposed. Finally, the protocol's applicability developed for the above purpose is demonstrated in samples reported at the end of this research.

Intellectual disability (ID) is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, manifesting before the age of 22. Adaptive behavior encompasses conceptual, social, and practical skills fundamental to autonomy, social participation, and independent living. In this context, assessing the intensity of support becomes essential, as it allows for the identification of the necessary support to promote the development and quality of life of this population. This study aimed to analyze the intensity of the need for support related to the adaptive functioning of young people and adults with ID, from the perspective of the participants themselves, their parents/guardians, and the teacher, as well as to verify agreements and disagreements between the responses of the different respondents. This is a descriptive and comparative interpretive study conducted in a specialized institution, with the participation of eight young people and adults with ID, their families, and the teacher in charge. Data collection involved interviews and the application of the Support Intensity Scale (SIS) across the three perspectives, allowing for a comparative analysis of perceptions about the need for support. Agreements and disagreements among respondents were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results indicated that the most recurrent levels of support intensity ranged from low to intermediate, with a greater need for support in the areas of Lifelong Learning, Community Life, Employment, and Health and Safety, while the areas of Domestic and Social Life showed lower levels of support. It was observed that family members tended to indicate higher levels of need for support when compared to the participants themselves, who, in general, perceived themselves as more autonomous. The teacher presented intermediate assessments, oscillating between family perceptions and the participants' self-perception. The agreements between the three perspectives indicate a shared recognition of the need for support in skills more directly related to daily routines, especially in the domains of Domestic and Social Life. On the other hand, the disagreements, most evident in the areas of Lifelong Learning, Employment, and Community Life, reveal differing expectations, influenced by distinct contexts of coexistence, opportunities offered, and more protective or more functional views regarding autonomy. In this sense, the data highlight the relevance of listening to the person with intellectual disability as an active subject in assessing their support needs, since their self-perception contributes to broadening the understanding of their adaptive functioning and supporting the planning of more realistic, contextualized, and individual-centered support. It is concluded that assessing the intensity of support from multiple perspectives fosters a broader and more integrated understanding of support needs, strengthening educational, social, and occupational practices committed to autonomy, social participation, and inclusion.

This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001 and it consists of an ethnography of the complete works of two Brazilian indigenous female writers, whose publications have strengthened the historical struggle of indigenous peoples in Brazil. Seeking to demonstrate that contemporary indigenous literature is an extension of indigenous cosmopolitics, the aesthetic, political, and politicizing character of each publication is discussed. By bringing together concepts central to anthropology and literary studies, it is evident that the writing of Eliane Potiguara and Márcia Wayna Kambeba-Omágua traverses bodies and territories in a movement that updates and reaffirms indigenous onto-epistemic diversity in Brazil and Latin America. By bringing indigenous and non-indigenous worlds into relation, this literature acknowledges conflict and alterity as something that manifests between partially connected worlds. In their testimonial, autobiographical, and auto ethnographical aspects, Potiguara and Kambeba's publications delineate indigenous cosmologies onto literature and develop decolonizing epistemologies. As part of indigenous activism, this literature has demonstrated itself as a reclaiming, activism, and authorship in a writing that reverberates worlds and their human and non-human constituents.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) is a semiconductor material with many nitrogen rings (pores) throughout its structure and constituted by several layers stacked on top of each other united by van der Waals forces. One of its potential applications is as a photocatalyst in hydrogen evolution reactions. Recently, g-C₃N₄ intercalated with alkali or alkaline earth metals in its structure, also known as poly(heptazine imide) alkali metal salts (M-PHI), showed superior photocatalytic activity than conventional g-C₃N₄. Given this experimental evidence, the materials Na-PHI and Mg-PHI were studied through classical molecular dynamics simulations and excited state calculations, in order to better understand the organization of cations throughout the structure of this material, their role in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions, and the reason why Mg-PHI has higher photocatalytic activity than Na-PHI. In molecular dynamics simulation, it was found that the preferred position of the Na⁺ cation was always as close as possible to the vertice’s pores of this material, and as the number of layers increased, the amount of Na⁺ confined inside the pores also increased. Furthermore, it was observed throughout the molecular dynamics trajectory that there was always a smaller amount of cations inside the pores of Mg-PHI compared to Na-PHI, thus allowing more space for water molecules to accommodate themselves inside. This first difference between these two systems can be considered one of the reasons why the photocatalytic activity of Mg-PHI is greater than Na-PHI. Another factor that may also contribute to this is the presence of a larger hydration layer around the Mg²⁺, which leads to the hypothesis that the role of cations in these reactions is to stabilize the water molecules inside the pores. The excited state calculations corroborate to this hypothesis, since the analysis of the natural transition orbitals (NTO) around the experimental region of interest (420 nm) showed that in the transition with the highest oscillator strength (most probable), the NTO hole is much more localized in the PHI sheet, while the NTO particle is located both in the PHI sheets and in the water molecules around the Mg²⁺ cations inside the central pore, thus indicating that there is a probability of photoelectrons be transferred from the PHI sheets to the water molecules belonging the Mg²⁺ solvation sphere. A similar pattern was also found in the NTOs for the transition with the second highest oscillator strength in this region, although in this transition there was a higher probability of electron-hole recombination than the photoelectron transfer to the water molecule.

This master's thesis aims to investigate the underlying horror in the daily lives of the female protagonists in four short stories by the Mexican writer Amparo Dávila: “El huésped” (1959), “La señorita Julia” (1959), “El último verano” (1977), and “Tina Reyes” (1961), which highlight the underlying horror in the daily lives of women whose existence was predominantly confined to the domestic and familial sphere in most of the 20th century. The analysis of these short stories reveals the recurrent presence of images and symbols, such as the monster figure, the house depicted as locus horribilis, marital ties as a source of conflict for the protagonists, and the uncanny, characteristics that connect Dávila’s writing to the Female Gothic, a term coined by feminist literary critics in the 1970s to trace a tradition among Gothic works written by women and emphasize the experiences of these authors. Recognition of this tradition is crucial, as many female writers face an “anxiety of authorship,” seeking representation in a literary tradition that often appears absent. Additionally, in Latin American literature, the presence of gothic and horror aesthetics was long denied, possibly due to a reluctance to admit European influence. However, reclaiming and positioning works like those of Dávila in the literary universe can expand the diversity of stories analyzed through these categories. Therefore, this study seeks to examine how these narrative resources expose gender issues in Dávila’s four selected stories and, in doing so, question: What can the anxieties of these protagonists reveal about the daily life of women in the second half of the 20th century?

Hypoestrogenism is associated with imbalances in bone tissue. Hormonal deficiency compromises bone remodeling and increases the chances of fractures. In this context, melatonin has been studied as a promising pharmacological method and an alternative to treatments with adverse effects. However, bone is not a simple organ to modulate, and there are inconclusive findings in the literature regarding the appropriate hormonal protocol to observe impacts on bone properties. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of chronic melatonin administration under hypoestrogenism conditions on bone parameters commonly compromised by estrogen deficiency. Forty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (GC); ovariectomized group (GO); melatonin group (GM); and ovariectomized + melatonin group (GOM). GO and GOM underwent bilateral ovariectomy at 15 weeks of age to induce hypoestrogenism. One week later, daily administration of melatonin (10 mg/kg) by orogastric gavage began, during the animals' nighttime period, over 12 weeks. After this intervention period, femurs were collected and bone tissue analyses were conducted, including metric, physical, chemical, and mechanical measurements. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation and were analyzed using two-way ANOVA to compare the effects of ovariectomy (OVX) and melatonin (MEL), with Newman-Keuls post-hoc test at a 5% significance level. The results show that MEL increased bone length (F=10.02, p<0.05), with no effect from OVX. OVX reduced bone density (F=28.76, p<0.01) and mineral density (F=50.34, p<0.01), with no effect from MEL. OVX increased bone water content (F=29.58, p<0.01) and reduced mineral percentage (F=36.87, p<0.01), with no effect from MEL on both. In the cortical fracture test, OVX had no effect on maximum load and fracture load, while MEL increased both properties (F=9.93, p<0.01; F=7.36, p<0.05). For calcium and phosphorus content, there was no significant effect from OVX and MEL. Overall, OVX caused impairments in bone parameters, and MEL had partial beneficial effects, but was not effective in neutralizing all the consequences of estrogen deficiency. Despite this, considering the comprehensive analysis of the investigated parameters, hormonal treatment showed potential in mitigating bone quality deterioration in contexts of osteometabolic disorders induced by hypoestrogenism.

With the growing use of geosynthetic interlayers, such as geogrids, geotextiles and paving geocomposites in asphalt rehabilitation projects, there is an anticipated increase in cases where asphalt layers containing these interlayers need to be milled. While there is substantial experience in milling traditional asphalt layers, the presence of polymeric or fiberglass interlayers introduces new challenges to pavement engineering. As a result, understanding how the milling process for asphalt layers with geosynthetic interlayers differs from conventional asphalt milling has become increasingly important. The milled material, referred to as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) when containing geosynthetics, here nominated G-RAP, exhibits unique characteristics that differentiate it from conventional RAP. Due to the limited information on the milling processes and characteristics of RAP produced from geosynthetic-reinforced pavements, it is essential to explore the millability of these reinforced pavements and the challenges associated with milling them. Furthermore, research should be conducted to assess the feasibility of reusing G-RAP in the production of new recycled asphalt mix. This study involved constructing an experimental test track with five different geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt sections at Salvador International Airport in Brazil. The findings indicated that all geosynthetic interlayers were capable of being milled without causing inefficiencies in the milling operations. Successful milling was achieved by operating at the maximum milling speed of 320 rpm, with the use of water. Fiberglass products were observed to mill effectively, while polymeric products showed minor entanglements. It is recommended that the milling depth be at least 25 mm below the geosynthetic position within the asphalt layers. G-RAPs were collected and characterized, showing physical differences and positive mechanical influences in new HMA mixtures recycled with 20% G-RAP, particularly in Marshall stability, Indirect Tensile Strength, and Resilient Modulus Marshall stability. The results of the present study confirm that geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt layers are millable, with potential for the reuse of the generated G-RAP in new asphalt mixtures.

Au milieu des récentes évolutions impliquant l'intensification de la flexibilité des relations et des contrats de travail, associée à l'impératif d'une rationalité entrepreneuriale comme moyen de justifier les modes d'être et de vivre dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, la plateformisation du travail se consolide de plus en plus. Le travail sur plateforme correspond aux activités qui sont médiées, organisées et régies par le biais de plateformes numériques. Ces dernières années, plusieurs villes brésiliennes ont vu apparaître des livreurs à vélo via des applications, plus connus sous le nom de livreurs à vélo. Cette catégorie est principalement composée de jeunes noirs et périphériques. Dans ce contexte, cette étude vise à comprendre et analyser comment l'entrepreneuriat est assimilé et utilisé en tant que stratégie construite, redéfinie et expérimentée par les livreurs à vélo dans la municipalité de São Paulo-SP. Cette recherche a été menée auprès des livreurs par application dans la capitale pauliste, en se concentrant sur un groupe de cyclistes livreurs près de la Praça da República. L'étude, d'ethnographie, a impliqué une observation participante et des entretiens approfondis, analysant les trajectoires des interviewés. Les résultats indiquent qu'une partie significative des livreurs à vélo rejette les relations de travail dont le cadre normatif est l'emploi salarié (contrat de travail). Cet horizon d'attentes est construit autour de la perception de liberté et d'autonomie, ce qui signifie objectivement la possibilité de définir ses propres horaires de travail, perçue de manière positive. Pour eux, l'idée de l'entrepreneuriat a une valorisation positive et représente une possibilité réelle de vie et de travail compatible avec leurs valeurs. Les livreurs à vélo assimilent la culture entrepreneuriale à travers un ensemble de pratiques et de valeurs qui forment une éthique de la débrouillardise, développée tout au long de leurs trajectoires de vie complexes, marquées par des environnements incertains, rares et parfois violents. Cela conduit à des interprétations variées du discours entrepreneurial, l'adaptant à leurs besoins quotidiens pour atteindre des objectifs spécifiques et planifier des stratégies financières et des projets d'avenir.

Sustainable agriculture is one of the pathways to sustainable development of the planet. In this context, urban gardens can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, proposed by the United Nations (UN) in 2015. The present study aimed to characterize urban gardens in the municipality of São Paulo, verify the presence of spontaneous plants, and their correlation with soil nutrients. Ten urban gardens were selected within the municipality of São Paulo. Initially, the gardens were characterized through the author's visits, using photographs and observations with the respective managers. Next, the species of spontaneous plants present in these spaces were identified and quantified. Subsequently, a phytosociological survey was conducted. Finally, soil analyses were performed to correlate soil quality with the spontaneous plants found in the gardens. During the on-site visits, it was found that these gardens contribute to the SDGs by conserving green areas in the city, promoting environmental education, social interaction, production, and access to healthy food for the urban and peri-urban population. The most representative (relative importance) spontaneous plant species found, with invasive potential, were Trapoeraba (Commelina benghalensis L.), Picão-branco (Galinsoga parviflora Cav.) and Dinheiro-em-penca (Callisia repens.). Soil analyses demonstrated some positive correlations between plants and nutrients, indicating the amount of organic matter in the species with the highest relative importance, such as Commelina benghalensis, Amaranthus sp., and Galinsoga parviflora. But studies with a larger number of samples are still needed to obtain more conclusive results. Some of the plants found have food and medicinal potential.

Esta pesquisa investigou a dinâmica produtiva do agronegócio canavieiro e seus efeitos na reprodução social de grupos camponeses na Região Administrativa de Ribeirão Preto, interior do estado de São Paulo, importante território hegemonizado pela cana-de-açúcar e palco de diversos conflitos agrários do estado. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com agentes representativos para o tema em questão, além de visitas de campo e análise de dados secundários. A partir de um paradigma histórico-dialético, o objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar que, na região em questão, se localiza uma intensiva e predatória atividade neoextrativista protagonizada pelo setor sucroenergético que, em sua lógica de produção, desorganiza e dificulta a produção e reprodução social camponesa. As conclusões indicam que, ainda que fora de zonas de fronteira, há severos impactos sobre grupos camponeses locais, resultando em despossessões, concentração fundiária e conflitos de diversas ordens.

The growing concern for the environment and the severe consequences of its excessive use caused by human activity have driven the development of research and new technologies aimed at mitigating the impacts on the planet. In Brazil, the construction industry is responsible for generating a large volume of waste with a low recycling rate. Among these, construction and demolition waste (CDW) and precast concrete waste (PCW) stand out. In the context of construction systems, the prefabrication of concrete elements offers sustainability advantages. In this regard, the industrialization process of the construction industry contributes to reducing waste generated on construction sites. However, like any construction system, prefabrication also generates waste. This waste can originate from leftover fresh concrete during the manufacturing process or from the disposal of elements that do not meet quality criteria. The management of PCW is extremely important, and tools that assist in decision-making can be used to optimize this process. This research proposes the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method as a decision-support tool for the disposal or reuse of PCW. To this end, a pilot study was conducted in which the main criteria addressed and the current disposal method used were identified. Data for this research were collected through an online questionnaire, which was answered by thirteen experts involved in the production process of precast concrete elements and the management of works in the segment, and these data were applied in the AHP method matrices. The AHP method demonstrates applicability in both individual and group judgment cases. Through the aggregation of individual judgments (AIJ), a single result can be obtained that reflects the opinions of various judges. Through the application of the method, it was possible to identify that, in the opinion of most experts, the implementation of a transformation center for PCW into recycled aggregates would be considered the most important alternative. The absence of measures to encourage the use of recycled aggregates from PCW in recycled concrete has led companies to dispose of them in landfills. Another possibility would be to establish partnerships with CDW recycling companies. Given this scenario, this research sought to raise awareness among experts in the precast sector and companies in the segment that there are different alternatives for the disposal of PCW, thus enhancing the sustainability aspects of this construction system.

This work refers to a Master's thesis, linked to the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGE) at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), line of research in Science and Mathematics Education, Mathematics Education axis. The general objective lies in understanding the possibilities and contributions of the mandatory internship, linked to the Degree Course in Pedagogy at UFSCar, to the Mathematics curricular component based on the perceptions of future teachers. To this end, an intervention-type investigation was carried out with a group of students so that they could reflect on the role of the internship in teaching Mathematics based on their subjects, with proposals linked to problem solving in an approach under Gérard Vergnaud's Conceptual Field Theory (1990). In a collaborative way with the participants, there was a focused and oriented look at the study and appropriation of the theoretical-methodological framework that guided the organization of interventions in schools. Furthermore, a focus group was created as a central data production instrument, which aimed to identify perceptions, feelings, strategies and ideas about how the internship can be a field of research. In addition to the group sessions, individual semi-structured interviews were carried out, which provided the understanding that the internship underwent some modifications after the COVID-19 pandemic, but still has an important role in the training of future teachers, with potential for research in Mathematics. It was concluded that it is possible to use the internship environment as a field of contribution to the place of Mathematics Education in the Pedagogy course, as long as there is a reflection on the distribution of the internship workload and its configuration and/or orientation. It is also necessary to strengthen the partnership between the University and school institutions.

Cette monographie examine la contribution de la pensée autochtone à l’éthique environnementale contemporaine, à travers le concept de « buen vivir ». L’objectif principal est d’analyser comment l’incorporation de pratiques « buen vivir » peut promouvoir une éthique environnementale moins ethnocentrique et anthropocentrique qui prévaut dans les approches occidentales. Ont eu lieu des revues bibliographiques et documentaires pour comprendre les pratiques et les valeurs associées au « buen vivir » dans les cultures autochtones d’Amérique latine. Les résultats indiquent que le « bien vivre » met l’accent sur l’interdépendance entre les êtres humains et promouvoir une relation harmonieuse et durable à travers solidarité et collectivité. Cette perspective offre une vision alternative et complémentaire aux théories environnementales traditionnelles, suggérant une voie vers l’élaboration de politiques et de pratiques environnementales plus inclusives et équitables.

With the water crisis predicted for the coming years and the uncertain future of water availability for the population and industries, the reuse and reduction of water waste have become a matter of utmost priority. Industries across various sectors seek to optimize pre-treatment and intermediate treatment processes for water used in systems, associating the total operating cost with the cost attributed to water, based on real risks of water scarcity. Contaminants in water sources are related to various geological, biological, and anthropogenic factors, necessitating an understanding of the different types of contaminants present in water sources for purposes such as drinking water and industrial applications. In terms of water reuse in industrial equipment, chemical treatment is necessary to avoid typical problems such as scaling, corrosion, and microbiological growth. These issues lead to a reduction in the lifespan of equipment, loss of efficiency, increased energy consumption, and consequently, a significant rise in operating costs and unplanned expenses. This paper will present a literature review on the control of microbiological growth with biocides in industrial cooling systems. An overview will be provided on the main alternatives among oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, their mechanisms of action for microbiological control, and the advantages and disadvantages of their use in specific situations.

Environmental democracy has within its scope the rights of access to information, participation and environmental justice. These precepts are at the heart of the Ecological State of Law and are intertwined at the intersection between human rights and the right to the environment. In this sense, the research carried out an investigation into environmental democracy in the mining municipality of Parauapebas-PA, with the experimentation of a more popular and diffuse participatory instrument, aiming at a new arrangement in environmental participation. Through action research, some instruments were used to collect and produce data, which provided elementary conditions to raise the main debate established by the study. A survey was carried out among the local population and interviews with the Executive Public Power - procedures that provided subsidies for the construction of a diagnosis of social participation at the local level using the “C.L.E.A.R Tool”, a methodology developed for the European Commission. Subsequently, public hearings were held together with the Public Ministry of the State of Pará to debate the main environmental challenges highlighted by the population. The research results demonstrate that the absence of legitimate formal structures to develop and operationalize access rights in environmental matters, as well as at the federal level, also occurs in the municipality of Parauapebas. The diagnosis revealed that the municipality does not have community and civic spirit and programs to support participation. Furthermore, the research showed that environmental information is neglected and centralized in the head of the executive branch. The results also reveal that the forum established with the facilitation of the Public Ministry and the participation of the specialized Public Power, in addition to civil society and academia, is successful as a space for exercising participatory democracy and provided conditions for suggestions of public policies necessary for the guarantee of environmental access, such as the creation of space to strengthen social movements and community culture, establishment of commissions for articulation and representation of people and communities, strengthening of neighborhood organizations, establishment of routines and spaces for social listening and the creation of an education program for citizens and civil servants for social participation. Thus, the research showed that the population in this municipality in the Amazon of Pará is more responsive to the democratic institution than the public authorities and that forums and spaces for social participation produce important narratives and contribute to the construction of more assertive public governance.

Metaphor is a figure of speech that can be studied in two ways in Behavior Analysis: by examining the effect of metaphors on the listener and by analyzing the production or emission of metaphor. The production of metaphor is studied under the label of the metaphoric extension of the verbal operant tact. Metaphoric extension is a type of generalization of the tact, in which the properties of the stimulus that control the verbal response are adventitious. It is considered that the development and refinement of experimental procedures to study metaphoric extension are highly relevant for understanding human behavior and for the scientific advancement of the field. This study aimed to refine a new experimental procedure developed to examine the conditions in which metaphoric extension is emitted more frequently. A previous study, in a design with three experimental phases, found that punishment increased the frequency of metaphor emission. The study's results showed the method's efficacy, but it still had some limitations and required some experimental refinements. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: (1) to verify whether the presentation of adventitious properties without punishment affects the frequency of metaphoric extension emission (Experiment 1 and Experiment 2); (2) to analyze the frequency of metaphoric extension emission under the condition of point loss (Experiment 3); and to analyze the effect of punishment on the frequency of metaphor emission by typing. In all experiments, the procedures were divided into five experimental phases as follows: in the first two phases, Tact Training with Prompt and Tact Training, participants learned to emit the tact for stimuli from four different classes. After reaching the learning criterion, a phase called Test 1 began. This phase assessed the frequency of metaphoric extension emission of tacts learned in the previous phase, in a condition without differential consequences for all of the emitted tacts. Then, in the Punishment phase, one of the tacts was punished, and the effects on the frequency of metaphoric extension of other tacts were observed. Finally, a phase called Test 2 began, which assessed the frequency of metaphoric extension in a condition without differential consequences. Small methodological changes were added in each experiment: in Experiment 1, the insertion of the first test phase; in Experiment 2, the addition of exemplars from one of the stimulus classes and alteration of the required response topography; in Experiment 3, the use of point loss and gain consequences; and finally, in Experiment 4, the verbal responses were typed rather than selected. The results of the experiments showed an increase in the frequency of metaphor emission without punishment (Experiment 1) and with punishment in all experiments. The effects of punishment and the effect of pre-experimental conditions on the frequency of metaphoric extension emission were discussed.

To explore the perception of tracheostomized patients regarding educational strategies for self-care. Methodological process: A descriptive exploratory, qualitative study, conducted after receiving approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee. The study population consisted of patients treated at the Amaral Carvalho Hospital (HAC) who underwent a tracheostomy procedure during the data collection period between August 2023 and March 2024 and were scheduled for an outpatient follow-up visit. The main researcher recruited participants by making daily contact with the nursing team at the institution's Surgical Center to obtain information about the surgical schedule. When a discharge plan was identified for a tracheostomized patient, they were invited to voluntarily participate in the study. The study was conducted in three phases: Phase 1: A semi-structured interview was conducted, followed by a pre training session with an expositive-dialogued class; Phase 2: Educational strategies were implemented, with participants randomized into two groups: the "folder group," trained using the institution's traditional printed folder, and the "skills training group," trained in simulated skills; Phase 3: A semi-structured interview was conducted during the outpatient follow-up visit. The interviews were audio-recorded, and patients were offered breaks of 10 to 15 minutes as needed. The collected information from the interviews was analyzed using the Thematic Analysis technique. Results and discussions: Participants reported relief after the tracheostomy procedure due to improved breathing. However, fear, changes in body image, and apprehension about self-care were also common. Participants valued both the folder and skills training educational strategies but felt insecure about cleaning the cannula at home. The use of educational strategies shows promise in engaging patients in self-care, but health professionals must be adept at identifying and integrating these resources into their practice to meet individual needs and contexts. Conclusion: Regardless of the educational strategy used, there was a low incidence of participants who felt genuinely motivated and confident to implement self-care. A more in-depth evaluation of the variables affecting individuals' motivation and safety in self-care is recommended to develop new and effective strategies.
