This work addresses the correlation between automotive applications of cellulose papers used for air filtration in combustion engines and the permeability coefficient. The work presents experimental data from a specific cellulose media filtration application and correlates it with the physical laws governing flow. It also applies these laws to study the variation of the permeability coefficient of a filter media with the deposition of contaminants in its medium (dust deposited on the surface and inside the filter element). The study aims to find a correlation between the variation of the permeability coefficient of the cellulose media and the pressure variation in the engine’s air intake system, so that it becomes possible to predict the engine’s pressure drop and the filter element’s lifespan based on the average pore size and the average thickness of the media in question. In addition, it seeks to correlate the variation of the permeability of the paper as a function of the mass of dust deposited on the filter. The results presented support a relevant correlation and aim to justify further in-depth studies.

The objective of this research was to analyze the debates and conflicts, in light of the bodies responsible for monitoring and evaluating the PME (Municipal Education Plan) of the city of Conchal/SP, regarding its implementation. The research was limited to the city of Conchal, a municipality belonging to the Mogi Mirim Education Board. The methodology, of a qualitative nature, consisted of a bibliographic survey, in addition to semi-structured interviews involving five actors, whose members were part of the Organizing Committee, the Technical Team, the Municipal Education Forum, the Municipal Education Commission, and one of these members represented the teachers of the Municipal Education Network. The specific objectives of this research were: a) to list the historical trajectory of the construction of national documents that structure the country's educational planning; b) to identify, through a state-of-knowledge research, themes related to the monitoring and evaluation of PMEs, considering the municipality of Conchal/SP of the Mogi Mirim/SP Education Board; c) to explain the processes of participation in the elaboration, monitoring and evaluation, through the expressions and understandings of the members involved in these processes; d) to analyze, based on the respondents' feedback, through a semi-structured survey, the involvement and impact of PME on education in the city of Conchal/SP. We hope that this research will provoke reflections regarding the quality of education in the country and, especially, in the city of Conchal/SP, taking into account the history of Brazilian educational planning. To this end, we chose to point out, through the data collected, the importance of civil society participation in the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of the PME, in order to obtain knowledge of their rights, while exercising their citizenship, seeking to raise awareness of the contribution to quality education at the municipal, state and national levels. The results showed that the monitoring and evaluation of the Conchal PME had flaws in its process, making it difficult to accurately measure the data for publicizing to civil society as a whole. The flaws presented were due to changes in government during the PME's term and the lack of awareness regarding the meaning and importance of the requirement recommended in the PNE (National Education Plan). Civil participation did not occur in a democratic and participatory manner, causing gaps in the democratic act. Compliance with the planning corroborates similar historical facts in Brazilian education, which were constantly changing due to government directions, not valuing a state policy, due to the political and personal interests of the rulers, in each period.

The 2018 and 2022 Brazilian presidential elections were marked by the significant support of the evangelical electorate for right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro. Journalists, political commentators, and researchers have attempted to explain this support based on the alignment between the conservative values of Brazilian evangelical leaders and those of Jair Bolsonaro. However, few studies have analyzed this phenomenon at the public opinion level, beyond the alignment between a candidate and the leaders of a specific segment of society. Are evangelicals indeed more conservative and authoritarian? This research aims to answer this question and, using data from the Brazilian Electoral Study, identify whether there is a distinct political behavior among Brazilian evangelicals. Preliminary results confirm the need for a closer examination of this group, as they are found to be more conservative than Catholics, adherents of other religions, and atheists, but not necessarily more authoritarian.

Ecological indicators are crucial for analyzing ecosystems, and expanding them beyond parameters such as vegetation is beneficial for enhancing the understanding of ecosystem functioning. In this context, ants are excellent indicators due to their sensitivity to environmental changes and ease of collection. Seasonal semideciduous forests are characterized by seasonality, with distinct dry and rainy periods throughout the year, which can influence the ecological indicators analyzed. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate whether seasonality affects ant communities in three distinct land-use types: pasture, restored areas, and forest remnants. The diversity of ant communities was estimated using species richness, abundance, Chao1, Simpson's dominance index, and Shannon's diversity index. Species composition was compared using similarity matrices based on the Bray-Curtis and Sørensen coefficients. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to compare diversity between the two sampling periods and the three study areas, while PERMANOVA was applied to assess species composition. A total of 4,595 ants were identified, belonging to 6 subfamilies and 31 genera. For diversity analyses, dominance differed between pasture and forest and was higher during the dry season, resulting in lower diversity indices during this period, indicating seasonal and land-use differences. Regarding species composition, significant differences were observed between land-use types using the Bray-Curtis coefficient, which considers sampled abundance, with pasture differing from restored areas and forest remnants. The Sorensen coefficient indicated that differences depend on the season. Thus, ant communities in restored areas are on a trajectory toward recovery, resembling those in forest remnants. Furthermore, understanding seasonal dynamics is essential and should be considered in analyses, as the timing of data collection may influence the results obtained.

The increasing generation of polystyrene (PS) waste has driven the search for efficient reuse strategies. A promising alternative lies in its reutilization to produce filter media via electrospinning, combining air pollution mitigation with waste recovery and enhancing the sustainability of the process. Therefore, this study proposes a rapid electrospinning method (5 minutes) for producing PS-based filters aimed at the removal of nano- and microparticles from the air. A statistical evaluation was conducted to investigate the influence of polymer solution concentration (5–25%), percentage of DL-limonene (10–50%), applied voltage (15–25 kV), and injection flow rate (0.4–1.2 mL/h) on particle collection efficiency, air permeability, and fiber diameter. To improve mechanical strength, PS/PET hybrid filters were developed using three different methods: a trilayer arrangement and dual-needle setups with separate solutions injected either from the same side or from opposite sides of a rotating collector. In this stage, the PET content was varied to assess its effect on elastic modulus, maximum tensile strength, and elongation at break. To enhance applicability, PS fibers were mechanically processed into short nanofibers to formulate suspensions in isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, water, and their mixtures. Suspensions in isopropyl alcohol were deposited onto twelve different substrates—including common materials and low-efficiency filters—using vacuum filtration and spray deposition, and subsequently evaluated for their micro- and nanoparticle collection performance. The optimal condition for nanoparticle collection was achieved with 13.5% PS, 50% DL-limonene, 25 kV, and 1.2 mL/h, resulting in a collection efficiency of 99.97 ± 0.01%, air permeability of 2.6 ± 0.5 × 10⁻¹³ m², mean fiber diameter of 708 ± 176 nm, and a quality factor of 0.19 Pa⁻¹. DL-limonene, a natural solvent, proved advantageous by significantly enhancing collection efficiency and reducing fiber diameter. Incorporation of PET increased the mechanical strength of the filters, with the configuration using opposite arranged needles showing the best performance. Although the collection efficiency dropped to approximately 95%, both the tensile strength and elongation at break increased by up to 16-fold compared to PS-only filters. While ethanol-based suspensions produced more uniform membrane surfaces, isopropyl alcohol yielded higher filtration efficiencies. The deposition of short nanofibers substantially improved the filtration efficiency of various substrates, achieving performance levels comparable to HEPA H13 filters. Among the tested methods, spray deposition was the most effective, providing up to 2% higher collection efficiencies and normalized pressure drops (∆P/L) up to 3.2 times lower. The FS-15P Needle-Punched foam stood out, exhibiting a ∆P/L approximately 75.6 times lower and collection efficiencies for both nano- and microparticles within 1% of the HEPA H13 standard. Beyond its technical performance, the spray method offers practical advantages in terms of applicability and ease of handling, particularly when compared to continuous electrospun nanofibers. This approach facilitates broader use by non-specialized operators and supports the commercial viability of nanofiber suspensions. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of recycled polystyrene as a promising raw material for the development of efficient and sustainable filter media for atmospheric pollution control.

Considering the study of the interaction between radiation and matter, an interesting phenomenon is refraction. This is because in most optical materials a refractive index of the order of unity is experimentally found, while classical and semi-classical theories predict extremely high indices. Recently, a study showed that the saturation of the refractive index, not predicted in the linear mean-field interaction between matter and light, lies in the strong correlation of the light emission of a dense atomic medium. However, this saturation does not have experimental evidence yet. The experimental group of which the student is part has an apparatus capable of producing cold atomic clouds of bosonic Strontium, reaching such densities that make it possible to measure this limit for the index. Given that the parameter’s space is large, a numerical guide is necessary to identify the desired effect for different mismatches and sample densities. This project is part of this context; it’s main objective being to obtain, through simulations, the refractive index as a function of the spatial density of an atomic cloud.

Developed in 1969, String Theory was formulated aiming to explain the strong interactions. However, throughout its development, it was noticed that the theory has the potential to become an unification model for the 4 fundamental interactions of nature. While keeping the usual patterns of quantization together with general covariance’s standard kinematics, its only new axiom is that, in a fundamental level, the matter is composed of unidimentional objects: the strings. Despite of its simplicity, the String Theory is currently the main proposal for the unification of Quantum Gravity and QFT. Thereby, the study of this field of knowledge has na unquestionable importance, not only in the matter of High Energy Physics but also in mathematics and in understanding the Universe itself and its functioning. Therefore, the objective of this monograph is to present two approaches to the quantization of string theory, alongside a discussion on gauge theory and conformal field theory.

This paper proposes an innovative approach to teaching chemistry about metallic alloys, through a didactic sequence aimed at students in the first year of secondary school in Basic Education and also at those studying Materials Science in the Chemistry degree course in Higher Education, through an investigative approach to the cultural heritage of Araras-SP, specifically the railway lines. The topic provides a link between the city in question and chemistry in the educational context, enhancing the importance of the Federal University of São Carlos for the area. This link can be explored through the railway sector, which for the moment is mostly in ruins, showing the neglect and consequently the carelessness of the administration. The proposal is to use this context to bring the university and the community closer together, promoting quality education through active methodologies, which emphasize the effective and main participation of students in learning, while the teacher acts as a mediator in an interdisciplinary perspective. The Investigative Approach, in particular, proves to be prosperous for future chemistry teachers, broadening their pedagogical perspectives. Although the proposal is innovative for teaching chemistry about metal alloys, it is worth noting that it has not yet been applied, and it is worth suggesting its implementation in future work, making it possible to evaluate its efficiency and identify challenges in order to improve it.

Computational Thinking (CT) encompasses a set of essential skills for problem-solving across various fields of knowledge, combining logical and mathematical reasoning with strategies for organizing and structuring steps in an intelligent and systematic way. These competencies are fundamental not only for computing professionals but for anyone dealing with complex challenges. As such, strategies to integrate CT into basic education have been widely explored in recent years. Studies indicate that its application, especially in conjunction with subjects like Mathematics from the early school years, can significantly enhance students’ problem-solving abilities and promote the development of mathematical, systematic, and algorithmic thinking. The methodology of Computational Thinking is structured around four main pillars: decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithms. Applying these methodological elements to Mathematics aims not only to improve student performance but also to stimulate more efficient and creative problem-solving approaches. However, despite notable progress, there is still a lack of evidence directly linking CT concepts to the mathematical competencies defined by Brazil’s National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). This study aims to propose didactic strategies to address mathematical problems through a mapping between the Fundamental Mathematical Capabilities and the Core Concepts of Computational Thinking. To this end, a set of math problems was developed that integrates both domains, with the objective of disseminating and validating the proposed strategies. Preliminary investigations suggest that Computational Thinking can be seamlessly integrated into Math teaching, with many of its concepts—especially Data Analysis, Abstraction, Problem Decomposition, and Algorithms and Procedures—showing strong correlations with the fundamental competencies of Mathematics.

This final course paper focused on analyzing the impacts of the relationship between family, school, and community on the learning process of elementary school students. Based on the theoretical framework of Paulo Freire, which advocates for a more equitable and liberating education, and the concept of dialogical learning grounded in this educator’s ideas, the relevance of the study was justified by the growing concern for the quality of education and the multiple factors that influence children's learning. In this approach, the interaction between family and school is considered crucial for the holistic development of students. The main objective of this study was to investigate and discuss the potential of the relationship between family, school, and community in promoting elementary school students' learning, based on the analysis of Brazilian scientific articles. The research was bibliographic in nature, with a qualitative and exploratory approach. An organized set of procedures was used, including the development of the research project, the investigation of solutions, the explanatory analysis of solutions, and the integrative synthesis. Data were collected from articles published between 2014 and 2023, available in the SciELO Brasil database, focusing on the category of human sciences and the field of educational research. The main categories discussed in this study were the relationship between family and school, the role of the community in education, and the learning process of elementary school students. These aspects were addressed based on the results of the analysis of the selected materials, providing significant contributions to understanding how the integration of community and family is proposed in Brazilian education. The study proposed a reflection on how Brazilian research has been focusing on the relationship between school, family, and community as a means to improve the quality of education in Brazil.

This work analyzes the main challenges faced in the Education of Young Adults (EJA) in Brazil, highlighting the reconciliation between work and studies, the challenges of teaching, and the specificities of the students. Through a bibliographic survey, common difficulties encountered by EJA students were identified, who often need to balance professional responsibilities with their educational aspirations, in addition to having a history of social marginalization. The research also reveals the insufficient training of educators, who lack specific qualifications to address the peculiarities of this modality. Therefore, it is essential that higher education institutions include disciplines related to EJA in their curricula and that public policies are strengthened to ensure quality education, recognizing EJA as a priority. The study concludes that continuous dialogue among the various parties involved in education is imperative for the success of EJA and the gradual overcoming of its challenges.

The school environment should be a space of plurality and diversity, reflecting the multiple experiences of individuals, however some groups still face major challenges, including intolerance, discrimination and prejudice. Physical Education, historically, has segregated many people, whether for physical reasons, gender, ethnicity, mobility, among others, excluding them from its practice for wanting healthy and strong bodies. However, just like the historical context, Physical Education has also been changing with a view to adapting to this change, which today requires including "everyone" in its practices. Over the last few decades it has begun to undergo transformations, as it has become a more welcoming and inclusive space. Diversity is a topic that has been the subject of study and debate in a variety of academic contexts, including the area of Physical Education. The present research aims to analyze the educational processes emerging from a teaching unit aimed at welcoming diversity in Physical Education classes for a class of 8th grade students. This is a qualitative research of the action research type demarcated by the implementation of a didactic unit composed of 24 classes, where actions were developed such as: readings, research, video analysis, conversation circles, game experiences and debates around this theme.The data production instrument used was the class diary, with participant observation and audio recordings as sources. The research data was analyzed by analyzing coding categories in three stages: organization and reading of documents, coding of materials and categorization. The results and their analysis are organized into a descriptive category referring to the report on the preparation of the didactic unit and its presentation and three other analytical categories.The first, “Interrelationship between teaching and learning”. The second “Breaking walls and building bridges”, and the third, “Our history, our perspective, our community”. The experience of the proposed themes contributed to a critical awareness among students about inequalities in bodily practices. In view of the above, the construction of a didactic unit aimed at embracing diversity based on Dialogical Education and Engaged Pedagogy can be seen as a great pedagogical instrument in Physical Education classes. Thus, it can be concluded that dialogue, practical experiences, problematizations, and welcoming pedagogical practices can contribute to minimizing inequalities and to the understanding that bodily practices need to be recognized as a right for all bodies.

Population aging poses challenges to Primary Health Care (PHC), requiring organizational adaptations to ensure quality care for the elderly population. In this context, the Multidimensional Assessment of the Elderly (AMD) emerges as an essential tool for identifying demands and planning care. However, its implementation faces challenges. Objective: This study aims to verify whether, in Health Units with readiness for change, the presence of the elderly health coordinator influences the number of AMDs performed and recorded in the PHC electronic medical records. Methodology: Two studies were conducted: the first assessed commitment and effectiveness for readiness for change in PHC units in São Carlos-SP, using the ORIC-BR instrument. The second analyzed the impact of the coordinator's presence on the execution and recording of AMDs through a community trial comparing the Control Group (CG) and the Intervention Group (IG). Results: The results indicated that only 8 of the 28 units that agreed to participate in the study showed readiness for change. The analysis of ORIC-BR responses revealed significant variations between managers and professionals, suggesting a misalignment in their perception of the organizational capacity to implement changes. In the community trial, it was observed that the units with a health coordinator recorded a significant increase in the number of AMDs performed and registered in the Citizen’s Electronic Health Record (PEC). A statistically significant interaction was identified between the group and the assessment moment (p < 0.001), indicating that the IG showed a significant improvement in the post-intervention period compared to the pre-intervention period (p < 0.001), in addition to recording more AMDs than the CG in the post-intervention period (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The application of ORIC-BR proved to be a useful tool for diagnosing organizational readiness, assisting managers in identifying units more prepared for the implementation of new practices. Additionally, the presence of the elderly health coordinator proved to be a viable strategy to strengthen AMD in PHC, promoting greater integration among professionals and enhancing the effectiveness of assessments. It is concluded that the articulation between different levels of care and the training of teams are key determinants for the success of AMD and, consequently, for improving elderly care services.

Children do not trust indiscriminately when facing two possible informants; they select the one they find is the best one based on criteria that can be epistemic or not. Considering recent findings that suggest children prefer more attractive informants in selective trust tasks, studies investigating the role of perception of informants’ different physical attributes may contribute to the advancement of this field of studies. The main goal of the present work was to investigate whether 3 to 5-year-olds select whom to trust based on their body type (slim or fat) in novel learning situations. The present work encompasses two studies: a pilot study and a cross-cultural experimental study with Brazilian and U.S. children. The pilot study was conducted online with 7 Brazilian children (M= 54.9 months, SD = 6.96 months). This study aimed to test the classic selective trust paradigm in Brazilian children by manipulating accuracy history and informants' body type. Additionally, the researcher was interested in investigating whether 4 and 5-year-olds prefer a slim informant or one who has been accurate in the past. An adapted Selective Trust Task contrasted two potential female informants (one with a fat body type and one with a slim body type). The task consisted in presenting a video on an online video chat platform. Results demonstrated that participants preferred the accurate informant regardless of her body type. However, when both informants had the same history of reliability, children preferred the slim informant. These findings also revealed the need for some procedure modifications (e.g., not to provide information about the informants' history). Those changes were incorporated in a subsequent experimental study conducted with 50 US children (M= 52 months SD= 6.65 months) and 49 Brazilian children (M= 54 months SD= 10.36 months). For this study, three measures were used: the modified version of the selective trust task, one instrument to assess children’s body image and one scale to map children’s attitudes toward the fat and slim body types. The Selective Trust Task involved the presentation of four unfamiliar objects (one per trial) and four pairs of informants (one per trial). Two pairs of informants were females, and two pairs were males. Each pair was formed by a thin and a fat person. Children should select one of the informants of each pair presented to ask for help with the name of the object, and endorse a label given by one of them. The primary findings indicated that 61% of Brazilian children and 46% of U.S. children preferred the thin informants in the "ask" trials. Similarly, 51% of Brazilian children and 46% of U.S. children selected the thin informants in the "endorse" trials. Additionally, 57.2% of Brazilian participants and 40% of U.S. participants favored the thin informant in the explicit judgment task. These results suggest that children from both countries consistently exhibited a preference for thin informants across the four selective trust trials, indicating a negative bias against fat body types in both cultures. Also, no significant associations were found between the selective trust task scores and the attitudes and body type scale results. However, Brazilian children displayed a less negative attitude toward fat body types compared to U.S. children. Furthermore, an age-related trend was observed, with older children exhibiting a stronger negative bias against fat body types.

The field of clinical practice has applied strategies for teaching naming repertoires to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but there is still a gap regarding the emergence of tact resulting from the teaching of auditory-visual conditional relations with two or four comparison stimuli. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the acquisition of emergent tact relations derived from two teaching procedures, one with two and the other with four comparison stimuli. To this end, an experimental study was conducted using an alternating treatment design combined with a non-concurrent multiple baseline design across participants, with a translational approach. Two children diagnosed with ASD, aged seven and eight years, participated in the study. Two listener-teaching procedures were conducted in a semi-alternated manner: one with two comparison stimuli (2C) and another with four (4C), followed by tact probes. In the 2C procedure, both participants reached the learning criterion in fewer trials. One participant demonstrated tact emergence only for the stimuli from the 4C procedure, while the other showed tact emergence for the stimuli from the 2C procedure and for three stimuli from the 4C procedure. The results suggest that teaching auditory-visual conditional relations can generate the emergence of tact in individuals with ASD with both two and four comparisons.

The evolution and adaptation of corporations in recent decades have clearly been driven by large-scale data collection and adaptations based on predictions. The final stage of the cycle of transforming data into relevant information becomes visual through data analysis and visualization tools, which can integrate with databases to extract insights, create dashboards, and generate reports to support executive decision-making. This study explores the context of data visualization and analysis tools, considering the company's profile based on the number of employees and the sector of the economy in which it operates. The main economic sectors considered include agribusiness, education, energy, logistics and transportation, oil and gas, healthcare, essential services, and retail, across small, medium, and large enterprises. Additionally, the study references market reports from sources such as Gartner and IDC. It analyzes the two largest and most relevant proprietary software tools on the market: Microsoft Power BI and Tableau. Furthermore, two open-source tools, Grafana and Metabase, were also examined each with different approaches but fitting within some of the established user profiles. As a result, each user profile was segmented by company size and sector, aiming to leverage the competitive advantages and specific features of each tool according to its profile, ensuring the best cost-benefit balance.

This research aims to investigate how members of the Workers’ Party (PT) and the Liberal Party (PL) mobilized conceptions about democracy during the CPMI of January 8, in light of minimalist (Schumpeter, Przeworski), liberal (Berlin, Mill) and pluralist (Dahl, Mouffe) theories. The research performs a content analysis of the 23 minutes of the committee meetings, using the MAXQDA software to categorize speeches into three axes: characterization of the act, profile of the participants and democratic conceptions. The results show a narrative polarization. PT members defined the events as “antidemocratic” (98.9% of the speeches about the “Fato”) and the participants as “coup plotters” (83.5%), aligning themselves with the liberal perspective (37.3% of the mentions) when defending the democratic rule of law and institutional defense. On the other hand, the members of the PL downplayed the acts, describing them as “legitimate demonstrations” (43.7%) or characterizing them vaguely, without giving them greater meaning (52.4%), criticizing asymmetries in the justice system, and arguing that the current political regime in Brazil is undemocratic (66.1%). The analysis shows that both party members redefined the concept of democracy to legitimize political agendas: the PT congressmen who were part of the committee linked democracy to the rule of law (37.3% of liberal mentions), while the PL congressmen who were part of the committee constructed a narrative of “relative democracy,” questioning the impartiality of the system

La Escrevivência, concepto formulado por Conceição Evaristo, designa una práctica de escritura que articula experiencia, memoria y resistencia, inscribiendo la subjetividad negra en la producción de conocimiento. En el ámbito de la investigación académica, la Escrevivência tensiona los límites de las normativas científicas al reivindicar la centralidad de las voces históricamente silenciadas de las mujeres negras. Esta tesis propone investigarla en su relación con los enfoques biográfico-narrativos en Educación, analizando cómo este concepto ha sido apropiado y movilizado en la producción académica del movimiento (auto)biográfico brasileño. El estudio tiene como objetivo mapear y analizar tesis y disertaciones defendidas entre 2020 y 2024 que articulan la Escrevivência y la investigación biográfico-narrativa, identificando los contextos en los que se produce esta aproximación, las justificaciones para su uso y sus contribuciones epistemológicas y metodológicas. La metodología adoptada es una revisión narrativa crítica, realizada a partir de la Biblioteca Digital Brasileña de Tesis y Disertaciones (BDTD), que contempla 21 trabajos académicos. Los resultados indican que la Escrevivência ha sido movilizada como una herramienta de ruptura epistemológica, ampliando las posibilidades de construcción del conocimiento en la academia. Su uso desestabiliza paradigmas científicos eurocentrados al integrar oralidad, afectividad y compromiso político en la investigación educativa. Como Operador Teórico-Metodológico y Operador Epistemopolítico, la Escrevivência instaura nuevas formas de producción de conocimiento, tensionando la colonialidad del saber y promoviendo estrategias de reexistencia de sujetos negros, especialmente mujeres. Su uso en el campo biográfico-narrativo potencia investigaciones que articulan memoria, identidad y formación, reafirmando la escritura como un territorio de resistencia. Las consideraciones finales evidencian la potencia crítica, creativa y creadora de la producción insurgente de mujeres negras y reafirman la urgencia de su valorización y visibilidad en la academia.

In a generation of post-pandemic students immersed in Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC), teachers, especially in mathematics, are challenged to ensure that meaningful learning occurs, associating Active Methodologies. This research was carried out with a focus on the knowledge of object of angles, for a seventh-grade class in the second stage of elementary education. At first, we analyzed the data generated by the São Paulo state test, where it was possible to identify a significant gap in the descriptor "Solve problem situations involving angle measurements." The, we conducted a diagnostic assessment to decide the next steps and interventions with the class. The questions were pre-selected and organized to assess the knowledge object of angles in different contexts. After the application, each question was corrected, and the results were tabulated. We considered it important to present the angles associated with ¼ turn, ½ turn, ¾ turn, and a full turn to the students, with activities for awareness, contextualized with sports, hands-on activities, clocks, vehicle directions, and the house of angles (GeoGebra material), not to mention the conceptual questions from digital material. Furthermore, we worked intensively on gamification using the Matific platform, and these activities will be described and highlighted in this work. After all the tasks proposed to the students, we designed a final assessment with some new questions and others already assessed, with the aim of comparing the initial data and analyzing the students’ learning progress.

This study analyzes the costs and feasibility of three garage subsystems in residential buildings in São Carlos - SP: basement, ground floor and basement. The research uses the Basic Unit Cost (CUB) as a reference, evaluating the financial impacts of excavation, containment and reduction of useful area, as well as the regulatory and structural requirements of each alternative. The single-story garage demonstrated the best financial balance, eliminating high initial costs and providing faster payback. On the other hand, the underground garage offers better use of space and increases the value of the project. An underground garage can limit the construction area and impact the size of the building, altering its viability in certain urban contexts. The choice of the ideal subsystem depends on factors such as municipal regulations, urban restrictions and economic strategies of the project. Therefore, the decision between reduced initial cost, maximum use of the land or constructive flexibility must be evaluated depending on the specificities of each project.
