(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-03-06) Elias, Laís Garcez Rocha; Silva, Fábio Molina da; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8371146074145702; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5642756746644897
Public administration follows norms, deadlines, and procedures, which stems from its roots in Max Weber's principles of operation and bureaucracy. These principles, centered on rationality, hierarchy, and cost-effectiveness, are designed to ensure fairness, consistency, and the efficient enforcement of rules, ultimately benefiting society as a whole. However, many public agencies are now adopting methodologies, tools, and practices from the private sector to address the dilemma of budget cuts while improving the services provided. The aim of this study is to apply Lean Office tools to the bidding process known as the Electronic Auction through the Price Registration System of the Federal University of Mato Grosso Foundation (FUFMT), in accordance with the changes brought by the New Public Procurement and Contracts Law, Law No. 14.133/2021. To achieve the proposed objective, a case study was conducted in the Procurement Management Coordination (CGC) of FUFMT, focusing on the bidding process in the Electronic Auction (PE) modality through the Price Registration System (SRP). Data for the study were collected through simple observation by the researcher, analysis of processes that originated the Price Registration Records in 2023, document analysis, an orientation questionnaire, and a focus group with a semi-structured guide involving the stakeholders of the process. In this context, the main contribution expected from the development of this study is to propose the improvement of public administration performance by eliminating waste, with the aid of Lean Office methodology, in compliance with legal requirements. With the collected data and applied tools, it was possible to develop the framework for the PE SRP process, with key points including raising awareness among requesting staff about their essential role, improvements in purchasing planning, the use of Preliminary Technical Study models and the Risk Matrix, as well as providing a pre-filled Terms of Reference and learning from previous processes. The creation of a response and action database to address recommendations from the Federal Attorney General’s Office, process standardization, and internal dispatches. Additionally, permanent actions are suggested, such as the creation and updating of Standard Operating Procedures (ETPs), guides, and best practices manuals, which will contribute to a faster and more accurate process flow.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-03-06) Modesto Junior, Luiz Alberto; Silva, João Eduardo Azevedo Ramos da ; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3823047207711289; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6739-5065; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2123338469439043; https://orcid.org/0009-0000-9657-388X
Remanufacturing adds value to post-use products through the replacement or reprocessing of components. Despite the growth of the used vehicle market and rising maintenance costs in Brazil, remanufactured products still face significant challenges to their consolidation, particularly in the automotive sector. While the existing literature highlights global trends, the Brazilian market presents specific regulatory, cultural, and logistical barriers that hinder the development of remanufacturing practices. Moreover, empirical studies addressing these challenges in the national context remain scarce, especially those that incorporate the perspectives of multiple stakeholders across the remanufacturing value chain. This study aims to identify such barriers and propose targeted strategies to overcome them in the automotive sector, contributing to the advancement of remanufacturing practices in Brazil. Based on interviews with 11 industry specialists—including professionals from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers, and other key sector stakeholders—the research employs Content Analysis and Descriptive Statistics to examine the constraints faced by the activity. The analysis led to the identification of four main thematic axes: Market Perception of Remanufacturing; Government Influence and Reverse Logistics; End-of-Life Product Management; and Sustainable Core Return Strategies. The prioritized barriers revolve around the absence of public policies, regulatory shortcomings, logistical bottlenecks, and market-related challenges. To address these issues, the study proposes fiscal incentives, regulatory strengthening, promotion of reverse logistics, product standardization, and awareness-raising actions targeting various actors along the chain. By integrating technical, regulatory, and cultural dimensions, this research fills a relevant gap in the national literature and provides practical insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders committed to fostering a more sustainable and competitive remanufacturing ecosystem in Brazil.
Restrição calórica moderada sobre a adiposidade corporal e o tecido ósseo de ratas sob estado de hipoestrogenismo
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-03-06) Nascimento, Rafael Henrique de Oliveira; Beck, Wladimir Rafael; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3124811889307056; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7176-2713; Branca; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6912792901565792; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8106-4791
Hypoestrogenism state has been associated with weight gain, obesity and the incidence of osteoporosis. When it comes to weight reduction, calorie restriction (CR) remains the main strategy. However, severe CR (40 to 50%) is associated with damage to bone tissue and favors the incidence of long-term malnutrition. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether 12 weeks of 20% CR is enough to prevent gain in body mass and adiposity without causing additional damage to bone tissue in ovariectomized rats. For this, 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n= 10 per group): control (C), control + calorie restriction (C-RC), ovariectomized (OVX) and ovariectomized + calorie restriction (OVX-RC). At 90 days of age, the animals in the OVX and OVX-RC groups underwent bilateral ovariectomy surgery and at 97 days of age the experimental period began, lasting 12 weeks of CR and/or hypoestrogenism. The animals in the C-RC and OVX-RC groups received 20% less feed every day, based on the last week's consumption in the C and OVX groups. The animals' body mass was recorded weekly, and their spontaneous physical activity was recorded every two weeks using a gravimetry apparatus. At 181 days of age, the animals were euthanized and subcutaneous, peritoneal, perigonadal and brown adipose tissue were collected to record absolute and relative mass. The white and red gastrocnemius, gluteus maximus and soleus skeletal muscles and the liver were collected to determine the tissue content of triglycerides (TG). In addition, the right femur was collected to determine biometric, biomechanical, biophysical and biochemical parameters. The data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance up to three ways (time, CR and ovariectomy) and Newman-Keuls post-hoc with a significance level of 5% (p <0.05) and presented as mean±standard deviation. Over the 12 weeks, ovariectomy led to an increase in body mass and food consumption (p <0.001) and in the absolute mass of subcutaneous, peritoneal and perigonadal adipose tissue (p <0.01), while CR led to a significant decrease in all these parameters (p <0.01). With regard to TG content, ovariectomy promoted an increase in the white and red gastrocnemius muscles (p <0.05), gluteus maximus and soleus muscles (p <0.01) and in the liver (p <0.01), while CR reduced it in the muscles (p <0.05), but did not affect the liver (p= 0.15). Ovariectomy led to a decrease in bone volume (p <0.05), bone density and mineral density (p <0.01) and mineral material (p <0.05), while CR did not affect bone volume (p= 0.90) and bone density (p= 0.24), but decreased mineral density and mineral material (p <0.05). Despite this, post-hoc data showed no significant difference in these parameters between the OVX and OVX-RC groups (p >0.05). Overall, 12 weeks of 20% CR was sufficient to reduce body mass and adiposity in animals under hypoestrogenism without leading to additional damage to bone tissue.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-03-06) Sudan, Leticia; Zanatta-Protti, Simone Teresinha; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6772128930979370; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3891-0080; Girão, Fernanda Berchelli ; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9999840170649511; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7229-0519; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2864785246158756; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2685-3565
Clinical simulation is an effective strategy for health training, as it aims to reduce the gap between theory and practice. Nursing students, as future professionals, need to maintain well-consolidated theoretical and practical knowledge to intervene immediately in emergency situations. Objective: To analyze the experience of nursing students in Deliberate Practice in Rapid Cycles and in skills training followed by a Simulated Scenario for Basic Life Support. Method: This is a qualitative study of the descriptive-exploratory type, guided by the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guide. The study was developed at the Health Simulation Unit (USS) of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), located in the city of São Carlos. The sample consisted of 12 students included based on the following criteria: being regularly enrolled in the Undergraduate Nursing Course at the Federal University of São Carlos and being over 18 years old. Students who had any training on BLS content using AED during their professional training process with the PDCR technique, skills training associated with high-fidelity simulation, were excluded from the study. All were invited to voluntarily participate in the research during the period from September to November 2025. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews based on a Holistic Debriefing guide that were conducted by two trained researchers, after training in Basic Life Support (BLS) with Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCP) or with Simulated Skills Training. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed in full, and the data were analyzed using the Clark and Brown Analysis technique. Results: From the analyzed data, three empirical categories emerged: 1) Students' perceptions in relation to the different simulated practices; 2) Contributions in relation to the development of technical and non-technical skills; 3) Feelings before, during and after the simulation. The students were satisfied with the simulation techniques, especially when compared to traditional teaching methods. They emphasized the importance of repetitions and feedback from the RCDP, as well as working in a safe and realistic environment during the Simulated Scenario. Conclusion: The evaluation of the experience of nursing students with Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) and Skills Training, followed by the simulated scenario during Basic Life Support (BLS), highlighted the relevance of implementing active teaching methodologies in nursing training. The use of simulation methods proved to be effective, promoting significant gains such as increased self-confidence, leadership and the ability of students to deal with intense emotions such as anxiety and stress. In addition, the importance of conducting new studies that investigate the experiences of nursing students with simulation techniques in health education is highlighted, as these studies are essential to identify the need for adaptations in the traditional teaching method.
