Failure analysis in steels consists of several stages, in which different analyses are involved. This paper presents a complete failure analysis of a pinion made of 18CrNiMo7-6 steel, whose application is in wind turbines, which presented cracks after the heat treatment process. The study shows some points of improvement in the process to avoid crack nucleation and propagation, as it occurred. For this purpose, analyses were performed via stereoscopy, optical microscopy, Vickers hardness, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the gas carburizing process used in the tool caused intergranular oxidation in the center hole, which led to embrittlement in the region. Finally, it was seen that it would be ideal to protect the tool fitting area during the carburizing process, carburizing only its working area.

The protection of natural resources and advances towards sustainable development require the effective participation of society in improving public policies. Conflicts of interest related to the management of natural resources and protected areas are recurrent and aggravated by exclusionary and unilateral management. Complex threats such as those resulting from mineral exploration, using mercury, require adaptive and innovative management from the Public Authorities, capable of integrating the different interests of the parties involved. To understand the environmental risks associated with the indiscriminate use of mercury in economic activity, especially in gold extraction, it is extremely important to understand the dynamics of mercury in ecosystems, especially in the Legal Amazon, as it is a region that arouses great interest in the mining sector; and the mercury governance model in Brazilian territory. It is assumed that various forms of popular participation occur, especially among populations vulnerable to mercury contamination, such as those living in the Legal Amazon, who, in an articulated manner and through representatives, feel encouraged to express their opinions regarding gold mining and the use of mercury. In order to find answers about the effectiveness of popular participation in environmental control of mercury use, the research identified participatory mechanisms related to the management of natural resources and protected areas, explored through a case study on the Território Médio Juruá, in Amazonas. Based on local demonstrations against mining in the region, the research assessed the established capacity of the Public Authorities to internalize popular demands, in response to the desires expressed by the community, using consultation with state and federal institutes responsible for the governance of natural resources and specially protected territorial spaces. Regarding the powers of the Public Authorities to provide means, incentives and responses to popular demands, it is conjectured that, despite being institutionalized, participatory instruments lack improvement in the field of environmental democracy, established by adequate access to information, participation and environmental justice.

Education is a right for all children and adolescents, including those who are hospitalized. This study aims to address teaching training and performance in hospital classes through a narrative review of scientific literature. To this end, a narrative review (ROTHER, 2007) was carried out on the topic with the aim of understanding aspects relating to the teacher's performance. In the hospital class. The topics covered involved a brief history of Hospital Pedagogy; the definition and official guidelines on hospital classes in Brazil; as well as the training and performance of the hospital class teacher, including their professional profile. Various aspects are addressed, such as: the need for specific training and pedagogical guidance on working in the Hospital Class; the importance of the teacher's role within a multidisciplinary team, and the need to understand and adapt pedagogical methods to the peculiarities of the hospital environment with a view to promoting inclusive education and the integral well-being of students. It is argued that the hospital class teacher plays a fundamental role in the learning process and, to a certain extent, in alleviating the pressure of hospitalization for children and adolescents

Dengue is a viral disease that has affected thousands of individuals for years. Without a specific treatment or vaccine that broadly serves the population, health education becomes essential for controlling this disease. The campaigns and information provided by the media (traditional and non-traditional) focus on preventive actions to control Aedes aegypti, reducing the image of the disease to this vector. The dispersion of this information contributes to the formation of Social Representations about dengue in different social groups, which determine people's attitudes and behaviors at confronting the disease disease. Aim to analyze the social representations of professionals from the Family Health Strategy and the population regarding dengue. This is a social health research, exploratory with a qualitative approach and also online documentary carried out in 3 stages. In the first, interviews were made with 33 professionals and 35 users from 5 teams of the Family Health Strategy in a small municipality in the interior of the state of SP. The interviews were carried out using the IRAMUTEQ Software. The constructed classes were analyzed using the Thematic Analysis technique in light of the General Theory of Social Representations. In the second stage, of an online documentary nature, information disseminated on the social network, Facebook of the Ministry of Health and the City Hall about dengue and/or Aedes aegypti from November 2022 to May 2023 and November 2023 to May 2023 was analyzed. 2024, period of greatest rainfall. In the third stage, the interviews and the products conveyed were analyzed in an articulated way. The research was approved by CEP/UFSCar. The interviews with health professionals gave rise to 2 subcorpora: Prevention actions and dengue and everyday experiences, divided into 5 classes. Those of users, subcorpus 1, Signs and symptoms of the disease and subcorpus 2, Dengue in the community, divided into 6 classes. The information published on Facebook by the City Hall, Ministry of Health (MS1 and MS2), also formed 2 subcorpora for each analysis. City Hall, subcorpus 1: Information on the number of cases and subcorpus 2: Aedes Prevention, divided into 2 classes; MS1, subcorpus 1: Aedes aegypti Prevention Actions and subcorpus 2: Increase in the number of cases and the importance of adequate care, were divided into 7 classes; MS2, subcorpus 1: State actions to control dengue and subcopus 2: Vector and mortality prevention actions, divided into 5 classes. The main guidelines from government bodies are related to the vector and the intra- and per-household elimination of specific water deposits (gutters, plant pots and plates, gutters, water tanks) and the dissemination of signs and symptoms. Institutional discourse is present in the social imagination of health professionals and users, reproducing the same information. The mass media and institutional discourse influence the SR of health professionals and users. Both social groups have anchored vector prevention actions in the campaign/health model and the disease in the biomedical model. For both groups interviewed, there is a lack of information about the vector and the disease. Furthermore, they do not consider the macrostructural factors that contribute to the maintenance of dengue in Brazil. The information published by the MS is only informational and vertical, which does not favor popular participation and also disregards the needs of the communities and the activities carried out within the assigned territories are fragmented and disjointed with the reality of individuals. For all these reasons, the need for education in STS is emphasized so that the construction of knowledge and the resolution of problems is collective.

This dissertation is an interdisciplinary research with a qualitative approach, an exploratory process, methodologically anchored in bibliographic and documentary research that observes the traces of couscous - steamed wheat semolina - from the transit of Maghrebians/Africans to the Iberian Peninsula, until the arrival of Portuguese colonizers in Pindorama (Land of Palm Trees). From this, it problematizes couscous as Intangible Heritage of Humanity and the relationship of belonging of Brazilian cuscuz, based on cassava and corn, to this heritage based on the history of food in Brazil (Braga, 2024; Cascudo, 2011; Castro, 2022). To this end, we start from contracolonial ethical and political exercises (Confluências Afroindigenas, 2020; Santos, 2020; 2023), invoking an authorial place of embodied researcher (Messeder, 2018; 2020a; 2020b), articulated with the decolonial political-academic project (Bernardino-Costa; Grosfoguel; Maldonado-Torres, 2019). These contracolonial exercises demand extra-academic attitudes of involvement with the struggles for the defense of seeds, lands and agrarian reform, in order to preserve our food culture. Finally, we realize that cuscuz made from cassava or corn, with its origins in African/Maghrebian culinary traditions and indigenous/Pindoramic agricultural traditions, represents a fruitful starting point for exploring issues of identities, memories and resistance, as well as affirming them.

The effects of climate change are being felt around the world. Caused by the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere from anthropogenic activities such as the burning of fuels in transportation, industry, power generation and deforestation, companies are being held responsible and pressured to improve energy efficiency and find ways to mitigate or minimize the damage caused by their activities, especially logistics. In 2010, activities such as transportation accounted for 23% of global CO2 emissions. Although Brazil is a developing country with continental dimensions and diverse natural resources, the country has been disappointing in its sustainability metrics, ranking fifth among the largest climate polluters. This is because cargo transportation is based on the highest specific emissions mode, road transport, which in turn depends mostly on fossil fuels, which are non-renewable and highly polluting. In this way, the possibility of achieving lower emission levels can be seen by optimizing the country's cargo transport sector through strategies that culminate in the green logistics philosophy. With the advent of Industry 4.0, we can count on the support of technology to obtain data, analyze it and make decisions based on it - specifically to optimize routes, schedule movements, monitor fuel consumption and manage metrics. There is a growing body of research in the field of green logistics, with a focus on the use of alternative fuels, intermodal transfers, and infrastructure improvements in road, waterway and railway systems, each with its own specificities and challenges, and all under the supervision and regulation of organizations and the state through policies, taxes, and/or transactions in the carbon market.

Wood, widely used in civil construction in various regions of the world, stands out for its sustainability, low energy consumption, and remarkable mechanical properties. In Brazil, although its application in structural systems is less predominant compared to countries in the Northern Hemisphere, wood plays a significant role, especially in roofing structures. The country preserves some historical roofing structures that remain in use, demonstrating the material’s durability when properly treated. In this context, three scenarios deserve attention: the restoration of historical structures, the transition to prefabricated systems, and the uncertainties in design and service conditions throughout the lifespan of the structures. The difficulty in accurately establishing the properties of materials, actions, and inherent defects often leads engineers to adopt deterministic approaches, despite many of these variables being random. Thus, reliability analysis becomes essential for decision-making regarding the structure’s fate. Given the above, this study emphasized reliability analysis in the design of flat timber truss elements, considering grain orientation as the main random variable, which, under certain conditions, significantly impacts the material’s mechanical properties. Models were developed that incorporate this variability, considering different species of hardwood, comparing the reliability indices (β) obtained with normative standards and the ideal condition of perfect fiber parallelism. The methodology employed included Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), using random variables representing wood properties, grain inclination, actions, and loads. The physical and mechanical properties of three types of wood were characterized: Cambará, Angelim-pedra, and Angelim-vermelho. Regression models were developed to estimate these properties at different fiber inclinations, demonstrating statistical significance and satisfactory determination coefficients (R2). The results indicated that the instability of axially compressed members is crucial in the design and reliability of flat wooden trusses, with a concerning reduction in β values in larger spans, compromising reliability and suggesting the need for adjustments. New simulations revealed that thicker profiles improve reliability indices (β), even while maintaining the cross-sectional area. The wood species had little influence on β values, while variability, represented by Coefficients of Variation (CV), and the proximity of limit state equations to the null value play a crucial role. The p-values of the t-test evidenced the statistical significance of failure probabilities from a 2° inclination, challenging the Hankinson model, which suggests limited impact for inclinations up to 6°. The research reinforces the importance of grain inclination variability in the reliability of elements, highlighting the need for adjustments in the modification factor, although this requires a comprehensive study of the probabilistic modeling of fiber inclination. Therefore, this research represents an initial advance in integrating this variability into wooden structural designs, with the potential for significant improvements in structural reliability and the adoption of safer and more effective design practices.

The main objective of this work is to analyze the impact of Transfer Procedures operations in the secondary market of fixed income for local corporate bonds, focusing on the PEJA11 debenture. For this purpose, a pattern recognition algorithm was developed using the unsupervised machine learning method DBSCAN, with the aim of identifying and differentiating these operations from effective trades. Based on a detailed analysis of the trading data registered in CETIP, covering the period from April 2023 to April 2024, it was possible to observe how Transfer Procedures operations influence the Average Daily Trading Volume (ADTV) metric and the perception of liquidity in the market. The choice of the PEJA11 debenture was motivated by its high financial volume and the significant frequency of its trades, making it representative for the study. The results obtained demonstrate that the developed algorithm was effective in identifying Transfer Procedures operations, resulting in a reduction of approximately 28% in the Average Daily Trading Volume (ADTV) after the algorithm was applied, compared to the ADTV calculated without using the method. This reduction highlights the significant influence of Transfer Procedures on the perception of liquidity. Additionally, the data visualization techniques applied provided clear and intuitive insights into trading patterns, facilitating the interpretation of the results. This study contributes to a better understanding of the nuances of the local corporate bonds market and suggests that the developed methodology can be applied to other assets, assisting in making informed decisions and more accurate pricing of these securities.

The increase in the population's life expectancy has increased the demand for orthopedic procedures aimed at bone repairing, driving the development of new materials to assist in tissue regeneration. In this context, this project aimed to obtain biocomposites for manufacturing bioactive scaffolds via 3D printing, aiming at bone regeneration. The biocomposites were based on Ecovio® (Poly(lactic acid) - PLA/ Poly(adipate butylene co-terephthalate) - (PBAT)), hydroxyapatite (HA) and an amino-functionalized derivative of tannin (TN). In the first stage, TN purification was performed to remove impurities from its synthesis process. The next step involved the processing of the Ecovio biocomposites in which both HA and purified tannin (pTN) were incorporated in a proportion of 10wt% each, using an internal mixer. Thermal, rheological, morphological, and mechanical characteristics, as well as printability, bioactivity, and antimicrobial activity, were investigated. In the last stage, Ecovio® scaffolds were 3D printed, followed by surface modifications with alkaline treatment and subsequent addition of pTN and HA in order to optimize their biological properties. The morphological, mechanical, wettability, surface roughness, bioactivity, and cell biocompatibility were evaluated. The results showed that the purification of TN was successful and suggest that the addition of pTN and HA did not degrade the polymer matrix, conferring bioactivity and bactericidal efficacy in the compositions with pTN. The superficial modifications were successfully performed regarding the scaffolds, optimizing their biological properties, such as bioactivity and biocompatibility, favoring cell proliferation. The biological and mechanical properties of the scaffolds showed that the materials developed are compatible with the requirements for application as bone grafts.

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is one of the most produced and used around the world, especially in Brazil. However, this high demand can generate challenges in production, motivating research groups to explore genetic modifications to optimize sugarcane production. This Thus, the objective of this work is to carry out a bibliographical review on the use of Embryogenic calluses in genetically modified sugarcane. To assist In this review, the works found come from searches on platforms Capes and Google Scholar periodicals, listing works that were compatible with the theme. From this, it is notable that Brazil has many places that are difficult to sugarcane production, whether due to climate change such as high temperatures, rainfall or infertile soil problems. In this context, genetic modifications emerge as a promising alternative to maintain production and sustain the economy. -THE micropropagation, via the production of embryogenic callus, is an essential tool in this process, allowing large-scale multiplication and the choice of genotypes of high performance for the genetic improvement of sugar cane. Therefore, studies conducted by Embrapa, Ridesa, CTC and IAC are essential on this path, aiming to understand sugarcane, its genotypes and optimizing the production of this crop.

Discussions about economic growth and development aligned with human development have been widely debated in the literature. While growth is commonly associated with the expansion of the economy over a given period of time, development encompasses a series of qualitative improvements in a country's economic structure. In contrast, human development aims to improve people's living conditions and promote the development of their capabilities, covering various aspects such as health, education, food, personal safety, among other factors that impact human well-being. However, available resources are not always used effectively to achieve maximum social and economic benefits. In this context, the application of socioeconomic efficiency analysis allows us to assess whether resources and investments are being used efficiently. Aligned with well-being issues, we also have “Financial Literacy”, which has been recognized worldwide as an important element of economic and financial stability and development. Since the lack of financial knowledge harms individual well-being and the financial capacity of families, it compromises the resources of financial institutions, impedes the growth of the financial sector, delays investment opportunities and contributes to the worsening of the socioeconomic situation of countries. Given these scenarios, the general objective of this study is twofold: the first is to calculate the socioeconomic efficiency of a group of countries, and for this, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was applied. Secondly, and considering the importance of Financial Literacy, a comparative analysis of the socioeconomic efficiency results was carried out with the Financial Literacy rates taken from the S&P Global FinLit Survey, in order to assess whether countries with better Financial Literacy rates are more socioeconomically efficient. The results found partially validated the hypothesis, since in certain segments they presented positive results and in others negative ones. For countries classified as having high and medium Financial Literacy rates, most efficiency results ranged between maximum and high levels, with the exception of one group with only medium results for both variables. In the group of countries classified as having high Financial Literacy rates and maximum efficiency levels, it was noted that this set of economies are world references on the subject of Financial Education, in addition to the fact that most of them belong to the European continent. On the other hand, for countries classified as having low and very low Financial Literacy rates, efficiency results ranged between the three levels of efficiency: maximum, high and medium. However, it was expected that for this group the results would be only medium efficiency.

The diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is given three to four times more for men than for women, because, according to the literature in the area, women must express more behavioral problems and emotional deficits than men to receive the diagnosis. Furthermore, even though they have similar degrees of autistic traits, women are diagnosed later than men. A theory that proposes to explain the reason for this difference is that of social camouflage, which refers to a strategy, consciously or unconsciously acquired, used by people on the autistic spectrum to fit into a social context and involves the act from disguising typical autism behaviors to becoming more like a typical neuro person. The aim of this study will be to investigate the roles of sex, gender identity (gender diverse versus cisgender) and time of diagnosis (diagnosed in childhood or adolescence versus in adulthood) and the interactions between these factors in Brazilian adults diagnosed with ASD. Participants will be 30 adults over 18 years of age diagnosed with ASD by medical report of both biological sexes and any gender identity (for example, cis woman, cis man, trans woman, trans man, etc.). A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) translated into Portuguese will be used, both applied via Google Forms. Then, a semi-structured interview will be conducted with questions about the participant's experience with ASD, conducted through Google Meet. During the interviews, participants reported as relevant factors related to social camouflage, the diagnostic process, sensory sensitivities, social interactions, difficulties related to educational institutions and the job market, and other issues such as bullying, abusive relationships, sexuality, gender, and self-stigmatization. In the CAT-Q, the ten highest scores were from biologically female participants. Among these ten participants, eight identify as cisgender women. The individuals with the highest scores were female, non-heterosexual, of diverse gender, with incomplete higher education, and who received the diagnosis after the age of 21. Although these findings are consistent with what is found in the literature, the results of the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) based on p-values indicate that none of the categories had a differentiated impact on social camouflage strategies, nor on the subcategories of compensation, masking, and assimilation (significance would be indicated for p-values < 0.05). Additionally, the effect size of these categories on social camouflage is low (η² < 0.07 for all analyses). These results differ from those found in the literature.

The present study theoretically explores the impact of shelters on breaking the cycle of violence against women, particularly those committed by intimate partners. Based on a review of recent literature, the study investigated how these institutions function as essential factors of protection and support. The aim was to understand how shelters contribute to interrupting the cycle of violence by providing a safe environment and empowerment programs that aid in the recovery and reintegration of victims. The findings indicate that, in addition to offering physical protection, these institutions promote the emotional and social empowerment of women, although they still face challenges related to social reintegration and the need for public policies adapted to local realities. It was concluded that, despite these challenges, shelters play a crucial role in protecting women and preventing femicides, requiring continuous support to maximize their effectiveness.

Emotion regulation refers to the attempts used by the individual to influence which emotions one has, when one has them, and how one experiences or expresses them. The construct is present in the individuals' intrinsic emotional control and in how they relate to the environment, in different contexts. Instruments that assess emotional regulation are present in most research on the subject. In Brazil, there are no adaptive instruments for assessing emotional regulation. Thus, the present study aims to build the adaptive version of the Online Questionnaire of Emotional Regulation (QoRE). The first stage of the study is fixed by constructing items and administering the test in an online format. The second step is equivalent to instrument validation, in which it will be applied along with other emotional regulation assessment tests and similar constructs, also in the online format. Around 1000 people participated in the first study and around 300 people in the second study, all above 18 years old, with no restriction regarding other demographic data, such as gender, education and region of Brazil.

This study explores the use of illustrative materials as a tool to enhance environmental communication at the Forest School, located at Sítio São João in São Carlos (SP). The Forest School welcomes thousands of visitors annually, including students and researchers, promoting educational activities focused on sustainability and environmental conservation. Given the need for clear and accessible communication for diverse audiences, this internship aimed to develop visual materials to convey information about the environmental practices implemented on the property. The methodology involved identifying key topics for environmental education at the site, creating a visual identity aligned with the project, and producing posters and infographics. Four main materials were developed: one on the “Sensory Trail,” which provides a sensory experience with nature; another on the “Water Reuse System,” which utilizes fish farming to irrigate crops; one about “Non-Conventional Food Plants” (NCFPs), highlighting their nutritional and cultural significance; and a final one on the “Meliponary,” emphasizing the conservation of native bees and their ecological role. The materials developed contribute to educational mediation, allowing visitors to engage more deeply with the environment while facilitating knowledge dissemination on sustainable practices. This work underscores the importance of visual resources in environmental communication and highlights the potential of Sítio São João as an educational space and a model for integrating educational tourism with environmental conservation.

This work addresses the education of ethnic-racial relations in practice with children, reflecting on some children's media by analyzing the musical project "A Galinha Pintadinha." The exploratory research, conducted as an Undergraduate Thesis in Education at the Federal University of São Carlos, Sorocaba campus, aimed to understand the relationships between music, early childhood education, and the education of ethnic-racial relations, using a qualitative methodology: observing, analyzing, and categorizing through the audiovisual media of YouTube, focusing on music videos that use traditional children's songs. As a result, it can be stated that there is still much to review regarding the presentation of these songs in terms of words and imagery when it comes to affirmative actions for the education of ethnic-racial relations.

There is substantial evidence of the positive effects of living with siblings, peers, and friends on sociocognitive development; however, the number of studies investigating the effects of living with animals is still limited. The present study aimed to contribute in this direction by exploring parental attitudes on the role of living with pets in their children's development. A questionnaire was sent (via Google Forms) to 30 fathers and/or mothers of children aged 2 to 5 10 years who currently live or have lived with animals at home. The questionnaire included questions related to how parents perceive their children's relationships with family, friends, and animals, as well as the possible beneficial effects and/or disadvantages of living with animals at home. The vast majority of parents (90%) did not report any disadvantages of living with pets. On the contrary, they indicated several advantages, such as learning, companionship, play, and the development of sociocognitive and social skills. Furthermore, when asked if they believed that living with animals influenced how their children interacted with others, most parents (73.3%) said yes. A thematic analysis of responses to open-ended questions revealed the following observed benefits: improvements in health, learning and development, friendships, improved behavior, and reduction of fear responses. Overall, results suggest a very positive perspective from parents regarding the role of living with pets in their children's development. We hope that this data may contribute to the development of intervention programs and/or public policies aimed at promoting development in early and late childhood by means of this rich relationship between children and animals.

This research deals with a study of undergraduate courses in biological sciences, chemistry and physics in the northeast region of Brazil from the perspective of state universities, focusing on curricula focused on inclusive education. To conduct the research, the search engine of the website of the National Registry of Courses and Institutions of Higher Education (e-MEC Registry) was used to survey the mentioned courses, where the pedagogical projects of the course, syllabus, curricular matrix and/or flowchart obtained through the official websites of the institutions were subsequently analyzed in order to understand how the theme has been addressed in the scope of initial teacher training. According to the documentary study developed, it is worth highlighting the non-neutrality of the curriculum and the influences of public policies and laws that have been developed in Brazil. Finally, the research indicated that there is a predominance of the offer of the discipline of Libras, and a considerable presence of courses that address inclusive and special education. However, a large gap was identified in the offer of elective disciplines related to these themes.

Studies related to climate change are gaining more notoriety, with the increase in deforestation caused by conventional agriculture and emissions of polluting gases into the Earth's atmosphere, the planet suffers a phenomenon called the intensified greenhouse effect, resulting in global warming. The consequence of which are extreme events, causing an imbalance in the rainfall regime, heat waves, hurricanes and desertification of some areas, such as equatorial areas. All of this is a major threat to food production for human beings, as these events directly affect the production system. The Landless Movement has sustainable production as one of its main objectives, so that it provides healthy food for the population and that its production has a low environmental impact. The present study aims to understand the cultivation methods and discuss the main difficulties faced with the extreme climatic conditions of the 23 de Maio Settlement, located in the Tupy District, a rural area belonging to the municipality of Itapetininga-SP. With this, five rural producers belonging to the settlement were interviewed. Everyone was able to answer the questions, and showed great concern about the extreme events that have been occurring in the region, especially droughts, which have been causing losses in their production, causing losses in some crops. Furthermore, these losses affect producers financially. Producers also noticed that there was a large increase in deforestation in permanent preservation areas (APPS) in a lagoon that belongs to the settlement. In addition, they highlight the lack of supervision and public policies that encourage sustainable cultivation in settlements.

The main focus of this research is to analyse the relationship between narrator and narratee in Romeu e Julieta (1969), by Ruth Rocha, and O Gato Malhado e a Andorinha Sinhá: uma história de amor (1976), by Jorge Amado, and to discuss how this relationship relates to and acts in the characterization of these narratives as children's books. For that, a study was made of these two narrative elements, based on the foundations and typologies created by Gérard Genette and Gerald Prince, complemented by the considerations of other literary theorists such as Wayne Booth, Morten Nøjgaard and Franz Karl Stanzel, so that an analysis could then be made of the narrator and narratee in each book, as well as the relationship between them, seeking to compare how it was constructed. Since they have the same central theme, the prohibition of a relationship between two beings with differences between them, established due to social conventions, it was possible to make a comparative analysis between the works to analyze similarities and differences in some narrative aspects, in addition to the narrator and narratee, as well as to investigate the existence of other elements that justify their classification as children's, using as a basis the parameters found in O que é literatura infantil? (2010), by Ligia Cademartori, and Crítica, teoria e literatura infantil (2015), by Peter Hunt. From this, it can be seen that adequate addressing is an important parameter for a children's work to be adjectivized as such. During the analysis, especially of the elements mentioned, and of the comparisons made between the books of Ruth Rocha and Jorge Amado, it was possible to conclude which of them better meets this main parameter, and consequently is better suited to today's standards for receiving the children's adjective.
