During the two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, society faced a scenario marked by uncertainties, losses, and fears, affecting different sectors of society, including education. With the return of in-person activities, new challenges and tensions arose, both for teachers and students, regarding ensuring participation and promoting learning for all. Given the magnitude of these challenges in the current context, and recognizing the need for schools to reorganize in order to offer adequate support, services, and assistance to meet the demands of diversity, the use of innovative proposals for this new context became timely.In light of this, the present research has the general objective of developing, implementing, and evaluating a training program on the Multi-tiered System of supports (MTSS) for education professionals, aiming to contribute to their professional performance and training, thus promoting greater accessibility for students with and without disabilities. The specific objectives are: a) To develop a training program on MTSS for professionals working in education; b) To describe and analyze an innovation plan on MTSS, built collaboratively between trainers and participants; c) To evaluate the impacts of the training program on the class, the school, and the municipal network based on the professionals' perceptions; d) To assess the limitations and contributions of the MSS proposal in expanding the school's capacity to respond to the diversity of students.This study adopts a qualitative, exploratory approach, using a collaborative action research design. Thirty-eight professionals from the municipal network of a city in the state of São Paulo participated in the research. The study was conducted in three stages: 1) Planning a training program on the Multi-tiered System of supports; 2) Implementing the training program on the Multi-tiered System of supports; and 3) Evaluating the training program on the Multi-tiered System of supports. Data collection was predominantly carried out in virtual environments, through formative meetings and focus groups. An Innovation Plan to Promote the Multilayered Support System was collaboratively developed to be implemented in a challenging class, referred to in this study as "Girassol."After data collection, the material was edited, transcribed, and later analyzed through Content Analysis (CA), and categorized into three main categories: Innovation plan based on MSS; Impact of the training program; and Evaluation of the training program on MTSS. Overall, the results showed an appropriation of the concepts and principles of MTSS, which was fundamental for the development and implementation of the Innovation Plan to Promote MTSS. Significant changes were observed in the Girassol class, in the school, and in the municipal education network. Additionally, the program was well received by the participants, with positive evaluations.

Sustainable production is prominent in the current global context, which requires an effective educational approach in order to engage current and future generations. This study addresses the proposal and practical testing of a board game (the ECO BOARD GAME) as an educational tool to promote knowledge of sustainable production concepts in the academic environment for higher education students. The central problem that this work intended to solve is the contribution of teaching sustainable production to this gap, as well as the difficulty in effectively engaging students in this topic. The main objective of this study was to develop a board game that addressed concepts and practices related to sustainable production and, consequently, the secondary objectives involved the evaluation of the effectiveness of this game as an educational tool. To this end, the game design considered aspects such as mechanics, components and educational objectives based on a documentary and literature review, and the game model was tested in an academic environment with a group of higher education students to evaluate the effectiveness of the game. The results demonstrated that the ECO BOARD GAME was able to promote the training/understanding of participants on the principles of sustainable production, in addition to stimulating discussions and reflections on the topic in a clear and cohesive manner. Overall, expectations regarding the quality of the game were met in 84% of the analyzed items on the dimensions of tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, safety and empathy. The conclusions indicate its potential as an educational tool, for example, in Engineering courses. However, it is important to highlight that the success of these interventions depends not only on the design of the game, but also on the educational context, such as its technical content and its respective pedagogical use, in which they are implemented and on the continuous support of educators during the use of this tool.

Psychosocial aspects have been studied even before the COVID-19 pandemic and there is concern about healthcare workers as they are exposed to tense situations, with the need to make quick and emotionally exhausting decisions. During this period, workers experienced unfavorable conditions and rapid deterioration of the psychosocial aspects of work, leading to the emergence and worsening of musculoskeletal disorders and obesity. Therefore, this investigation is important and verify whether there is an association between the variables. Objective: To investigate the association between psychosocial aspects with multiregional pain and obesity in healthcare workers. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 344 workers from the HEROES and IMPPAC cohort databases, including healthcare workers who answered the Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptoms Questionnaire and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire. Both cohorts were approved by the ethics committee and the participants signed an informed consent form. Data were analyzed using binomial logistic regression and the Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated from the ratio between body mass (in kg) and height squared (in meters). BMI was dichotomized into obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and non-obesity (BMI < 30 kg/m2). Psychosocial aspects were defined based on the dimensions of the COSOQ-IIBr and dichotomized into no risk for psychosocial aspects if the score was adequate (no risk = 0) and if the score indicated attention or risk, there was risk for psychosocial aspects (with risk = 1). Multiregional pain was defined from the regions with pain in the last 12 months and 7 days, according to the Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptoms Questionnaire, using the SPSS software (version 26.0) and the significance level adopted was 5% (α = 0.05). Results: Most health workers were female (78.5%); 34.6% were overweight and 22.7% were obese. The most critical dimensions of the COPSOQ were emotional demands, burnout and stress, with the proportion of workers in the risk category being 75.6%, 84.0% and 81.7%, respectively. In the logistic regression between psychosocial aspects and obesity, there was a significant association between obesity and predictability (OR=1.85 95%CI 1.09-3.13), recognition (OR=1.94 95%CI 1.10-3.39), trust in management (OR=2.12 95%CI 1.03-4.36), social support (OR=1.83 95%CI 1.03-3.23), work-family conflict (OR=1.70 95%CI 1.00-2.85), health and well-being (OR=2.27 95%CI 1.15-4.49) and burnout (OR=2.45 95%CI 1.04-5.78). In the logistic regression between psychosocial aspects and multiregional pain, there was a significant association between multisite pain and work pace (OR=3.58, 95%CI 1.36-9.43), emotional demands (OR=3.92, 95%CI 1.42-10.8), work-family conflict (OR=3.29, 95%CI 1.20-9.05), burnout (OR=4.17, 95%CI 1.39-12.5) and stress (OR=3.20, 95%CI 1.14-8.99). Conclusions: A significant association was identified between obesity and multiregional pain with several psychosocial aspects, with burnout standing out in both models analyzed. Considering that psychosocial factors play a crucial role in maintaining health, the relationship between these factors, obesity and multiregional pain should be further investigated in prevention programs aimed at psychosocial health. This deepening can contribute to the development of more effective intervention and health promotion strategies.

The enhancement of physics education can be achieved through the integration of experimentation in laboratories or classrooms, creating an inspiring environment for students to explore the subject matter and motivate themselves to acquire new knowledge in the scientific context. The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)plays a fundamental role in this approach, as evidenced by the use of Arduino for data collection in educational experiments. In this context, the purpose of this dissertation is to present an educational experiment on electricity, designed for high school students, with the aim of addressing fundamental concepts such as electric current, electric voltage, and electrical power. The adopted methodology consists of a case study, grounded in David Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Learning, to analyze qualitative results in light of this perspective. The experiment was conducted with a third-year high school class, outside of regular class hours, at a private educational institution. Research data were obtained through pre-tests, post-tests, opinion surveys, and reports. This work provided a conducive learning environment to inspire students, facilitating effective learning about the addressed physical phenomena. Furthermore, it contributed to the development of skills aligned with theguidelines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC).

This Final Course Project proposes the creation of a tourist itinerary in Taiwan inspired by the drama Someday or One Day, combining aspects of cultural and cinematic tourism and the growing popularity of Asian dramas. The research, of an exploratory and qualitative nature, was based on a literature review and an interview with a travel agent specializing in East Asia, with the aim of understanding how audiovisual products influence tourist behavior. The study starts from the concept of film-induced tourism, a branch of cultural tourism that awakens travelers' interest in visiting locations of audiovisual productions. It is observed that, while countries like South Korea and Japan have already consolidated this type of tourism, Taiwan presents great potential that is still largely unexplored, driven by the success of Someday or One Day, whose international impact even encouraged official tourism promotion actions. The author proposes a ten-day itinerary through cities such as Taipei, Tainan, Taoyuan, and Yilan, which combines locations from the series with historical, cultural, and gastronomic attractions, aiming to attract both fans of the drama and tourists seeking authentic experiences. The interview conducted confirmed the viability and market potential of the itinerary, highlighting the importance of integrating popular media content into the tourism offer. It is concluded that film tourism can be an instrument of cultural dissemination and innovation, strengthening Taiwan's image on the international stage. The work contributes to the field of tourism by broadening the debate on the influence of media in the construction of tourist destinations and by proposing new possibilities for connection between Asian audiovisual media and Brazilian tourism.

In this work, the Designed Refocused Excitation and optional Mixing for Targets In vivo and Mixture Elucidation (DREAMTIME) technique was applied for the analysis of complex degradation mixtures of pharmaceutical compounds, focusing on cases with spectral overlapping and low intensity signals in 1H-NMR spectra. The DREAMTIME technique improves molecular specificity compared to conventional spectra by combining double selective excitation with amplitude- and phase-modulated waveforms. The use of spectral filters allows to cancel unwanted components, isolating one or more compounds simultaneously within a mixture. The study had two main objectives: (1) the implementation of the DREAMTIME sequence using a standard sample of known composition and concentration, and (2) its application in the selection and separation of degradation products of the drugs sofosbuvir (SOF) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), under acidic and basic conditions, without the need for physical separation. The degradation products were identified by two-dimensional NMR techniques, such as COSY, TOCSY, HMBC and HSQC, and the signals were selectively isolated using DREAMTIME. In the case of SOF, seven acidic degradation products and four basic degradation products were identified. For TDF, four products were identified in the acidic degradation and five in the basic degradation. The DREAMTIME technique proved to be effective in recovering the signals of the compounds, resolving the spectral overlap between the parent drug and the degradation products. Quantification was performed based on quantitative 1H-NMR spectra, after 48 hours of degradation. The degradation of SOF as an active principle was determined under acidic conditions (10.10%), due to the presence of isolated signals. However, the absence of isolated signals under basic conditions for SOF and under both conditions for TDF prevented the accurate determination of the degradation of these compounds. It is important to highlight that the optimization of the DREAMTIME technique parameters, such as the pulse time, the average coupling constant in J, and the mixing time filter, was essential to improve the selectivity and intensity of the signals, ensuring the obtaining of clean and well-resolved spectra.

Mapping scientific knowledge about the development of biosensors to be used for the early diagnosis of arboviruses. Scoping review based on studies searched in Lilacs, PubMed, SciELO and Web of Science databases. Nineteen (19) articles were selected, in total. The selected studies presented different types of biosensors used to detect arboviruses and their variants, with emphasis on dengue and Zika viruses. Electrochemical, optical and plasmon resonance were the biosensors mostly used for the aforementioned purpose due to their little margin of error. They enable reliable and fast diagnosis processes, besides being easy to handle and its low cost. Biosensors capable of identifying arboviruses are not yet available in health services, since they still require advancements to be achieved at practical research stages.

La présente thèse cherche à montrer qu’il y a un réalisme dans l’œuvre de Bergson. Pour cela, quelques œuvres qui constituent le noyau de sa métaphysique ont été analysées. On y observe le projet de l'auteur de justifier l'appréhension d'une réalité qui dépasse les pouvoirs de la subjectivité. C’est un thème qui se révèle sous différentes formulations, mais c’est dans Matière et Mémoire que l’on trouve l’expression la plus claire d’une telle entreprise, dans laquelle une théorie de la connaissance se fonde sur la base de l’existence, ou de la réalité elle-même. L'évolution créatrice occupe également une place fondamentale dans le thème, car le réel, dans cette œuvre, comme absolu, est défini comme ordonné au-delà de la subjectivité, par le flux qui se fait à travers ce qui se défait, exprimant, de l’intérieur, la dynamique même de l’intériorité. Ce sont des ouvrages qui présentent la théorie de la connaissance traversée par la métaphysique, montrant dans quelle mesure elles participent à la même réalité, même si l’entendement n'a pas le privilège sur l'absolu, puisque la connaissance doit dériver de l'existence, et non de l'existence de la connaissance. Et c’est précisément pour cette raison qu’il s’agit du réalisme. Outre les ouvrages cités ci-dessus, d'autres textes métaphysiques de l'auteur sont explorés, notamment dans La Pensée et le Mouvement, mais aussi dans l'Énergie Spirituelle. Certains commentateurs contribuent de manière significative aux analyses, comme Bento Prado Jr. et Alain Panero, entre autres. La recherche porte principalement sur la métaphysique de l'auteur, qui s'exprime dans une philosophie de la nature, qui servira de base à la théorie de la connaissance ; À la fin, nous discutons de ce que Bergson considérait comme le résultat de sa doctrine.

Non-homogeneous hidden Markov models are a statistical paradigm in which a sequence of non-observable states generates a sequence of observable. Transitions between the non-observable states are controlled by transition coefficients and covariates. Because variable selection has been hardly explored for this model, the central purpose of this thesis is to propose variable selection methods which improve predictive performance of the model. We propose two versions of the LASSO for the non-homogeneous hidden Markov model, the Global LASSO and Individual LASSO. The proposed methods are tested in a simulation study, to analyze their performance under controlled conditions. Evaluation metrics used are the mean squared prediction error, non-observable sequence prediction accuracy and coefficient shrinkage efficiency. Regarding the mean squared prediction error, the proposals consistently show better predictive performance than ARIMA and Penalized Linear Regression. They show very good performance when predicting the non-observable state sequence which generates the observable values. In terms of coefficient shrinkage efficiency, the proposals show excellent performance in all simulation scenarios when selecting variables via coefficient shrinkage. This gain in predictive performance as well as the ability to perform variable selection makes the proposed methods an interesting option to apply with the model. Finally, the methods are applied to characterize and predict the rainfall regime in the city of São Carlos, Brazil, displaying good performance when predicting rainfall quantities in the region as well as selecting relevant covariates for the model.

This research aims to analyze Psychology training from the perspective of racial relations in Brazil. To this end, Psychology is articulated as a scientific and educational field that relates to the modes of development and the constitution of subjectivity within culture and social relations. As a basic principle, the racism experienced by Black people is considered, as it structurally organizes Brazilian society and, given this, it is essential that the Psychology course is capable of training professionals who are duly qualified to act competently in the face of racial dynamics. To this end, as a methodology, a theoretical qualitative research approach was conducted on ethnic-racial relations in Psychology training, based on the understanding and explanation of social dynamics. As results, it was possible to perceive that although there have been advances throughout the history of Psychology regarding ethnic-racial issues, it must be recognized that intellectual production under the premise of ethnic and racial relations is still rendered invisible. This context indicates that confronting structural and epistemic racism in the academic field remains a challenge, but that the delineation of the field has been seeded, especially with the enrichment of knowledge promoted by the contribution of Black intellectuals in the authorship of scientific productions.

The aim is to investigate and analyze the question of personality in Bergson. Our aim is to explore some necessary conditions for thinking about personality, both the properties of the notion of consciousness as duration and some considerations about the role played by the body. We will look in particular at Bergson's three main works, Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience, Matière et mémoire and L'évolution créatrice. We will follow how the philosopher rethought interiority, considering it in relation to the living body, as well as exploring the notion of life, the main aspects of which are related to these elements. Bergson defends a concept of personality linked to consciousness, which is therefore psychological, but which is also linked to its physical basis, the body. The notion of personality, in this sense, is circumscribed as something between these two domains, both thought of in the light of duration. Our proposal, then, consists of arguing that there is a theory established by the philosopher that converges with his philosophy of duration.

DEVELOPMENT OF DISPOSABLE ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSORS FOR DETECTION OF THE BIOMARKER miRNA-208B AIMING AT THE DIAGNOSIS OF CORONARY DISEASES. Coronary diseases (CDs) are the most common type of cardiovascular disease, affecting the heart and blood vessels, and are one of the leading causes of death not only in Brazil but worldwide. The diagnosis of CD is made through electrocardiogram or monitoring of serological markers. Regardless of being the most commonly used methods for evaluating these diseases, they require specialized personnel and use nonspecific markers that take hours to be detected in the bloodstream. Due to these limitations, we propose an electrochemical method that uses magnetic particles decorated with biotin and a DNA probe (hairpin) to detect miRNA-208b, which is specific for myocardial infarction and released at the onset of cardiac necrosis. The viability of the method consists of the effective opening and annealing of the hairpin with miRNA-208b. After that, the bioconjugate is incubated with streptavidin-HRP. Thus, the temperature and denaturation time, as well as the concentration of hairpin, detection probe, and biotin, were evaluated. Moreover, the method uses a disposable device with eight independent electrochemical cells based on carbon paste, which allows for the simultaneous detection of eight different samples or targets. With the chosen conditions, the method produced an analytical range of 0,01 to 5,00x103 fmol L-1 with a detection limit of 0,22 fmol L-1. In this way, the method proved to be sensitive for the detection of miRNA-208b and specific when evaluated with other non-specific target sequences for the hairpin. Furthermore, the system's stability was monitored for 24 days, with a significant drop in the current signal only on the last day, around 69.8%. The method was applied to real blood serum samples from people with diseases that trigger heart problems without any pre-treatment steps of the samples and still corroborated with the RT-PCR results. Thus, in summary, the method proved to be sensitive, specific, low-cost, and with enormous potential to become an alternative for diagnosing coronary artery diseases.

This work proposes dialogues between the Everyday and the Terreiro, aiming to expand care perspectives for Black people through an immersion in Ilê Axé BaraKetu IyaSessu, located in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. The research, which takes a qualitative and autoethnographic approach, investigated the community's daily life and its system of cultural symbols from the perspective of Care. Interviews and the PhotoVoice technique were conducted with participants who had been frequenting the terreiro for over two years and volunteered to contribute to the research. Data analysis resulted in four thematic groups: Care and Non-Human Community Heritage, Care and Territoriality, Care and Traditional African Matrix Science of Terreiro, and Care and Sacred Commensality. The results strengthen discussions on Care in the field of Occupational Therapy and promote the inclusion of counter-hegemonic knowledge in the production of knowledge, contributing to a better understanding of care practices directed toward Black people based on Traditional African Matrix Knowledge of the Terreiro.

This thesis aims to understand the work of prison wardens from two perspectives: that of prison units and that of the coordenadorias of prison units in the interior of São Paulo. From these two spheres, we seek to analyze how their professional identities and career trajectories are constructed, as well as to investigate the formal and informal selection processes that enable hierarchical progression in these environments. The central hypothesis defended is that neoliberalism has significantly impacted prison management practices, increasing the distance between prison units and administration. This is materialized through a work model that prioritizes the production of indicators and targets, which often fail to meet the actual needs of prison units. To achieve this objective, a qualitative approach was adopted, with an emphasis on autoethnography, ethnography, interviews, and field observation. As a result, it was found that the regionalization of the coordenadorias, stemming from the expansion of penitentiary bureaucracy, has turned into a "factory of metrics," demanding targets from prison units that are often impossible to measure. Consequently, prison wardens end up becoming administrators of carceral suffering, which reveals itself not only as a byproduct of incarceration institutions but also as an object of disputes over the definition of what it means to be a good professional in this field.

The research in question delves into the investigation of how the Ethnomathematics Program, conceived on another dimension, the ancestral dimension, and permeated by the fundamental principles of ancestry, conceived under the concepts of body, sacredness, and territory, enables a deterritorialization of the school territory, reterritorializing it as another school environment. The analysis focuses especially on the intersection between the Philosophy of Ancestry, the concepts developed by Eduardo Oliveira and Leda Maria Martins, delving deeply into how this approach enables the construction of a new perspective of mathematics and the school environment, both intrinsically linked to the multiplicity of cultural corporeal diversity – Ancestry - and the ethnic-racial consciousness of the sacred and time – spiral time. The research process unfolded in various stages. This included participation in a Teacher Training Course and also conducting technical visits to the municipalities of Ouro Preto (MG), Mariana (MG), and São Paulo (SP), as well as visits to the Dr. Fernando Alexandre State School, along with involvement in seminars and roundtable discussions developed at the school unit. The methodology adopted, based on cartography, enabled the delineation and mapping of movements resulting from the interaction between ancestry and the Ethnomathematics Program. The aim was to understand the potential of an education based on ethnic-racial relations, seeking through this process to create tangible instruments capable of promoting the possibility of deterritorialization of educational environments, fostering an anti-racist and emancipatory education. By transcending the boundaries of conventional school territories, local knowledge emerged as a rich and diversified tapestry of wisdom, often underestimated and excluded. This alternative educational perspective celebrates multiplicity, nurtures curiosity, and fosters resilience, enabling individuals to confront the challenges of the world of knowledge, wisdom, and ancestry.

Two models were used: the physical PAVSCAM (PAVment and Street Canyon Model) and the numerical ENVI-met. The research also analyzed measurement and simulation errors, and errors related to the scale of analysis. It explored the relationship between changes in urban pavements and responses measured by the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) across different Brazilian climates. Additionally, the AHP-Gaussian multi-criteria methodology was applied to identify the optimal urban pavement solution. Throughout the study, different urban forms, albedos, and thermal masses were assessed. Findings revealed that the highest average heat flows occur in canyons with graphite-colored concrete pavements, particularly in areas with shorter buildings, due to increased pavement exposure to solar radiation. For real urban scale estimates, the study recommends using ENVI-met data (MAE = ±0.59) or physical models (MAE = ±0.66) in comparison to on-site measurements. Regarding thermal comfort, the UTCI showed significant variation in hot and dry areas. East-west oriented streets without shade experienced increased thermal stress in the late afternoon, attributed to higher albedo or thermal inertia. Concrete pavements exhibited a rise in thermal stress from “Strong” to “Very Strong,” indicating that high albedo or inertia surfaces can lead to discomfort in urban canyons. While high-albedo materials like concrete can enhance thermal conditions in cooler and wetter zones by promoting heat dissipation and lowering air temperatures, their benefits are not universally applicable, particularly during the late hours of the day. The results provide essential tools for analyzing urban pavements and integrating them into climate-responsive projects within tropical contexts. By complementing field data with these new perspectives, the study enables a more robust and effective analysis for urban pavement planning, ensuring infrastructures are better adapted to local climatic conditions.

Political communication on social media plays a crucial role in strengthening the connection between politicians and their audience. The growing use of these new media in the 21st century is revolutionizing communication, facilitating more dynamic interactions among users. The use of digital marketing resources and non-verbal communication not only enables the creation of assertive content but also contributes to building a charismatic leader figure on social media. In this ever-evolving digital era, this research aimed to address a case of effective political engagement during election campaigns, with Instagram, emphasizing its focus on images and videos, standing out as a key platform for political communication. To that end, the research was based on literature about digital marketing and content marketing techniques. Furthermore, it investigated relevant non-verbal elements to build a credible, positive, and persuasive political image. Methodologically, with a qualitative approach, the research conducted a single case study of Helder Zahluth Barbalho's 2022 gubernatorial campaign for the State of Pará, focusing on video and image content on the Instagram platform. Thus, this work aims to contribute to the debate on new forms of relationship through digital media and provide insights for those who wish to enter the political arena effectively.

The order of carnivores has several representatives that consume fruit and could potentially act in seed dispersal. Despite this, few Neotropical carnivore species have their diet studied in detail, including identification of plant material, and their potential as seed dispersers, especially in relation to qualitative and quantitative aspects. In this study, we highlight two species of canids (Canidae, Carnivora), the Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) and the Crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), which simultaneously have a diet based largely on frugivory and great potential as seed dispersers. We quantified the diet of both canids based on fecal samples obtained in the field in southeastern Brazil for 15 months. The Maned wolf showed an omnivorous, generalista diet, based mainly on rodents, birds, various fruits and the fruit of the wolf tree (Solanum lycocarpum). The diet varied seasonally: The Maned wolf consumed more rodents and S. lycocarpum during the dry season, while the other fruits were consumed more during the rainy season. In addition, the Maned wolf positively selected some prey such as the rodent genera Necromys and Clyomys, and some fruits (such as Psidium grandifolium and S. lycocarpum). Regarding the role of these canids in seed dispersal, we compared the germination percentage and time of seeds that had passed through their digestive tract with seeds planted with fruit pulp and seeds cleaned by hand. For the Maned wolf, we identified that 18 species, out of the 23 present in its diet, to have viable seeds after ingestion. For the Crab-eating fox, from 12 species present in its diet, eight has seeds viable after being eaten. Both canids proved to be legitimate dispersers of Cerrado species, mainly of plants with medium and large fruits (>1cm), but also of species with smaller fruits (Miconia sp.). From the 14 plant species tested, five germinated more after passing through the digestive tract of canids compared to the controls, while two germinated less. For the other species there was no difference in the germination percentage between the seeds defecated and those in whole fruits. Finally, by calculating the gut passage time of the Crab-eating fox (17.8 ± 5 hs), it is possible to infer they can deposit seeds at long distances from the mother plant. The study made it possible to deepen our knowledge about the diet of the Maned wolf, highlighting which resources are essential for their occurrence in natural areas, providing us with information on food selectivity and how seasonality influences its diet. Finally, it allowed us to affirm their legitimacy as seed dispersers for many species and to understand their importance for the dynamics and maintenance of this process in the Cerrado.

The 2022 Higher Education Census conducted by the Anísio Teixeira National Institute for Educational Studies and Research (INEP) revealed that 2,592 individuals with hearing impairments were enrolled in Higher Education institutions across Brazil. The presence of deaf individuals in Higher Education necessitates the adaptation of university libraries to meet this demand. This entails an awareness of deaf culture to serve the deaf community effectively. This research aimed to investigate the information behaviour of deaf users who use (or have used, in the case of those who have already graduated) university libraries during their academic training. To investigate information behaviour, this research drew upon the theories of Wilson (information behaviour models), Dervin (sense-making), and Chatman (small world). The data were collected via an online questionnaire developed in Brazilian Sign Language, comprising three open-ended questions, 14 multiple-choice items, nine statements on a Likert scale of agreement, and one field for suggestions. The questionnaire was e-mailed to 199 Brazilian Higher Education institutions, deaf associations, and individuals from the deaf community, including interpreters. The snowball sampling technique was employed to gain access to the deaf community. A total of 95 responses were obtained, and the results demonstrate that the survey participants hold undergraduate, technologist, specialisation, Master's, and Doctoral degrees. Among the respondents, 18% do not use their institution's library facilities. However, among those who do, they report that library environments are conducive to the needs of deaf individuals, to the extent that they are recommended to other deaf people, irrespective of accessibility and collection issues. Of all the participants, 62% typically visit the library independently. Nevertheless, those who do not feel at ease reading and writing in Portuguese typically attend the library accompanied by other deaf individuals. A majority of participants exhibited a notable inclination towards human sources when searching for information, and 65% demonstrated the ability to identify reliable information, while 68% asserted their capacity to assess the usefulness of the information they retrieve for their information needs. Furthermore, regarding the theories employed, it was possible to discern the 'intervening variables' (demographic, environmental, and source characteristics) and the 'risk/reward theory' of Wilson's information behaviour model; the impact of context and variables such as security, values, and attitudes in facilitating the process of sense-making, as proposed by Dervin; and certain characteristics of the deaf respondent community that align with the concept of a small world, as postulated by Chatman. It is incumbent upon the university library to provide access to quality information from reliable sources. Librarians must work to eradicate possible contexts of information poverty. The task of understanding the deaf community is a complex one, which extends far beyond Brazilian legislation that guarantees their rights, including linguistic rights. Constructing a genuinely inclusive university library environment for these individuals – and not only for them – the library and its professionals must demonstrate a keen awareness of their community and the evolving trends within society. It is essential to adopt a welcoming and inclusive approach towards deaf individuals to facilitate their access to information resources and support their academic training.
