The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the infectious agent that causes the disease known as COVID-19, has negatively affected the lives of millions of people since last year. COVID-19 is a multi-organ infection that has significant effects on the musculoskeletal system of infected individuals, causing excessive fatigue, arthralgia, myalgia, muscle damage, and muscle weakness. These symptoms can persist for weeks or even months after the end of the infection, giving rise to what is known as long COVID-19. However, little is known about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on skeletal muscles, particularly in individuals who did not require ventilatory support and/or hospitalization. Objectives: To assess the impact of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 on the human musculoskeletal system, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the effects of the infection after its acute phase. Methods: This study included participants divided into a control group and a long-COVID group. They underwent muscle biopsy, blood collection, and isokinetic dynamometer testing for morphological, functional, and biochemical analyses. Results: The long-COVID group showed morphological changes in the vastus lateralis muscle, including decreased capillaries, nitric oxide, and myogenin, accompanied by increased IL-1β, Pax7, and ROS. Functionally, an increase in peak torque was observed during isometric sessions, as well as a reduction in the mean frequency of the electromyographic signal. Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with muscle changes that can negatively impact the morphology and function of the vastus lateralis muscle in humans, even after the acute period of the disease.
Diagnóstico da gestão de resíduos da construção civil de Catanduva - SP
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-09-05) Silva, Karen Jaqueline Morandin; Pugliesi, Erica; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6736386099280623; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4688-1387; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6094949468730986; https://orcid.org/0009-0002-4011-2157; Córdoba, Rodrigo Eduardo; Schmidt, Clauciana; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1572300021689161; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3559496026857773; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3647-7305; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6924-2951
The growing urbanization and accelerated expansion of civil construction has generated a significant increase in construction waste, and even with waste management through the adoption of Transhipment and Sorting Areas (ATTs) and Ecopoints, there are still numerous irregular disposal points in peripheral neighborhoods in several small and medium-sized cities, which generates degradation of the surroundings in critical areas and vulnerable populations with environmental impacts. This study aims to diagnose the management of Construction and Demolition Waste in the municipality of Catanduva/SP, focusing on the Transshipment and Sorting Areas and the Municipal Ecopoint, aiming to identify the factors that lead to clandestine disposal. This is a qualitative and quantitative study, exploratory and descriptive in nature, aimed at analyzing the Construction and Demolition Waste management system in the municipality of Catanduva, São Paulo. The research was conducted with three different samples: four licensed ATTs operated by private companies operating in the municipality, five owners of construction companies working with construction waste C&DW in the municipality, and 109 residents of different neighborhoods, selected by non-probabilistic convenience samples within the municipality. Three different data collection instruments specific to each sample were applied, consisting of a semi-structured questionnaire via Google Forms. Although the municipality adopted measures such as joining the SIGOR (Surveillance System) and creating the Municipal Ecopoint, the discontinuation of two of the four licensed ATTs and the lack of visible public planning for the expansion or replacement of these units compromised the consolidation of a solid and integrated RCC management policy. The lack of updated public data and an environmentally oriented government plan reinforces the need for greater transparency and political commitment to urban sustainability.
Percepções docentes sobre o ensino da escrita em inglês para crianças: um estudo a partir de uma unidade didática
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-09-05) Costa, Emanuelle Avelar Gomes; Barbirato, Rita de Cassia; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6962819573963727; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2313143293570777; Sant'Ana, Juscelino da Silva; Audi, Luciana Cristina da Costa; Zuin, Poliana Bruno; Passoni, Taísa Pinetti; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7127417703704558; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5253336795205661; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0389350936548546; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1682918727882586
This doctoral research investigates the role of writing in the teaching of English to Young Learners (EYL) in the early years of primary school, aiming to contribute to a more meaningful inclusion of this skill in English language classes. Based on a didactic unit designed according to the Communicative Approach (CA) and grounded in the principles of Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory (SCT), the study seeks to understand how writing practices in English can be developed with children, reframing writing as a communicative practice from an SCT perspective and drawing on teachers’ perceptions of their own classroom practices. The research was conducted in four public schools in the interior of São Paulo state, with 5th-grade classes. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews with teachers, recorded meetings, and analysis of students’ written productions. Anchored in teachers’ perceptions, the data made it possible to identify how they understand and experience the teaching of writing in the classroom. The study also discusses the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), highlighting the role of mediation and scaffolding in learning to write and in the development of higher psychological functions such as autonomy in textual production. Findings suggest that contextualized writing practices in EYL classes, supported by consistent theoretical foundations, tend to enrich learning and may foster the development of linguistic competencies. Teachers reported indications of greater student engagement, progress across the four skills, and reduced anxiety regarding writing in English. The experience also appears to have encouraged teachers to revisit some of their conceptions, moving toward a more process-oriented and integrated approach guided by mediation and student agency. Finally, the study outlines possible directions for pedagogical practices that may enhance the value of writing in English language teaching for children.
