Este artigo explora quais os sentidos que as crianças constroem sobre a qualidade da escola. O objetivo principal é investigar a visão das crianças sobre a qualidade da escola e os sentidos que elas associam ao ambiente escolar. Reflete-se sobre a qualidade social da educação a partir dos trabalhos de Silva, Bertagna et al. Sordi, Bertagna y Oliveira, enquanto para a metodologia e análise das ações com as crianças fundamenta-se em especial na perspectiva histórico-cultural. Utilizam-se também dispositivos de criação da pedagogia do cinema com base em Migliorin e Pipano e Bergala. Os resultados mostram que a qualidade da escola, na perspectiva das crianças, está associada a experiências pedagógicas diversificadas, boas relações humanas e ambientes que promovem o brincar, a ludicidade e o convívio social. Notou-se também uma distinção entre as experiências positivas e as negativas, com alguns alunos expressando descontentamento com a escola. O estudo conclui que a percepção da qualidade escolar para as crianças é multifacetada e está ligada tanto às atividades planejadas quanto aos acontecimentos cotidianos. As contribuições das crianças revelam uma compreensão complexa da vida escolar, destacando a importância do movimento de escuta e avaliação da qualidade da escola que a elas é destinada.

Steel cellular beams are characterized by profiles with sequential circular openings in the web, resulting in structural elements capable of spanning large distances, providing greater flexural stiffness, and enabling faster construction. Worldwide, studies on cellular beams are largely limited to normal strength steels. In Brazil, research on this type of beam is scarce and relatively recent. Thus, the use of high-strength steels, with yield strength exceeding 460 MPa, in cellular beams remains unexplored. The application of high-strength steels contributes to sustainability due to the reduction of the carbon footprint. Although their use in cellular beams is attractive from both structural and sustainability perspectives, such steels are not addressed by NBR 8800 (ABNT, 2024). The same limitation applies to cellular beams. This research aims to investigate the influence of steel strength variation on the failure modes and structural behavior of high-strength steel cellular beams under simply supported conditions. For this purpose, cellular beams were modeled using the ABAQUS® software, and the results were compared with the design procedures of BS EN 1993-1-13 (ECS, 2024). Given the lack of experimental data on high-strength steel cellular beams, the numerical model validation was conducted in two stages: considering high-strength steel solid-webbed beams and cellular beams made of normal strength steel. The sensitivity analysis of geometric imperfections and residual stresses in high-strength steel cellular beams showed that the influence of residual stresses decreases as steel strength increases. Moreover, the results indicated that the residual stress model accounting for the manufacturing process of normal strength steel cellular beams can be effectively applied to describe residual stresses in high-strength steel cellular beams. The parametric study demonstrated that increasing steel strength may alter the failure mode, as numerical models exhibiting interaction between local and global instabilities may develop only global instabilities as steel grade increases. The use of high-strength steels proved more relevant for less slender cellular beams, in which local failure modes governed the load-bearing capacity. For slenderer beams, effectiveness was reduced, as the increase in resistance capacity was often marginal compared to the gain associated with the higher strength steel. Furthermore, the use of reduced web-posts due to closely spaced openings, combined with the absence of stiffeners, may lead to the occurrence of web-post buckling under compressive stresses.

Psychological distress, influenced by various sociopolitical and institutional changes that impact student persistence and well-being, has become a growing challenge. The objective of this study was to calculate the prevalence of psychological distress and depression, as well as to correlate social and clinical markers with these phenomena among students at a federal public university. This quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive study was conducted with 174 undergraduate and graduate students at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), São Carlos campus. The prevalence of psychological distress was 77.9% and that of depression was 56.6% — measured by the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively — while the combined prevalence of both conditions was 78.2%. Age group and prior health history were directly related to these phenomena. Therefore, this study contributes to the development of health promotion strategies that consider the identified social markers.

Modern fables often use zoopoetics to question human conventions, distancing themselves from the explicit morality characteristic of classical models. Topics dear to contemporary society, such as social gender roles, can be addressed in a less direct manner when related to the human context. This dissertation aims to analyze the construction and function of laughter in the work You’re an animal, Viskovitz (1999), by Alessandro Boffa, a writer and biologist, based on the premise that his zoo(auto)biographical narrative uses laughter to encourage reflections on animal otherness and gender norms. Through a theoretical framework centered on Sigmund Freud and Arthur Schopenhauer's perspectives on the laughable and the comic, short stories from the work are examined based on unconscious structures, language, and subjective constitution. The analysis demonstrates that the friction between ethological precision and the projection of human conflicts generates a zone of productive incongruity, eliciting both laughter and critical reflection in the reader. The male narrator, who is repeatedly flawed, serves as a vehicle for an ironic critique of male chauvinism, narcissism, and the patriarchal system that socially and culturally structures gender relations. Philosophical, scientific, and religious reflections are added to the debate on gender. It is concluded that Boffa's literary project uses laughter as an instrument of knowledge and transformation of the reader's gaze, revealing social contradictions and existential dilemmas.

This research has analyzed the text from the Spanish lecturer, feminist and Free-Thinker Belén de Sárraga and her meetings with Brazilian feminist leaders. By means of documental research her texts and sources of information about her meetings in Brazil have been found out that her feminist ideas were aligned with the movements around the world and Brazil. The concepts by language researchers such as José Fiorin, Eni P. Orlandi, Mikhail Bakhtin, Valentin Volóchinov and Michel Foucault, have been used. The general objective was the analysis of Belén de Sárraga’s lectures and the highlighting of her particular marks in the texts that make them identified as feminist. Another objective has been her contact with Brazilian feminist leaders such as Julia Lopes de Almeida, Josephine Stefani Bertacchi, Cecília Meireles and Bertha Lutz. The goal is to contribute with gender studies on Science, Technologies and Society Field for better comprehension of the current situation through the affirmative movements of women at the beginning of the last century.

Water pollution from stressors, such as emerging contaminants and agro-industrial waste, poses a challenge to aquatic ecology in urban-rural environments. These compounds alter biogeochemical cycles, affect plant communities, and can favor the growth of populations of invasive species that are more tolerant to stress. Although macrophytes play fundamental ecological roles, such as nutrient cycling and habitat provision, the uncontrolled growth of invasive macrophytes, such as Hedychium coronarium, suppresses native species and alters the structure of riparian ecosystems. This work is structured in three chapters. Chapter 1 presents an integrated review of water, macrophytes, biological invasion, and pollution, with emphasis on the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and vinasse in aquatic environments, and the implications for biodiversity conservation. In Chapter 2, the population of H. coronarium in the Monjolinho reservoir (São Carlos, SP) was characterized using morphometric descriptors and biomass-volume relationships, which highlighted its plasticity and capacity to colonize degraded environments. Chapter 3 evaluated the growth of H. coronarium under controlled exposure to SDS (0.5 g L⁻¹ and 1.0 g L⁻¹) and vinasse (10% and 20%), both with and without dry biomass of Salvinia auriculata as mulch. DSS did not significantly reduce H. coronarium biomass compared to the control, but the presence of S. auriculata mulch altered growth responses, with a hormetic pattern. For vinasse, there was a significant reduction in H. coronarium biomass, and in the presence of S. auriculata mulch, biomass values remained close to those of the control. The results indicate that stressors exerted negative pressures on the growth of H. coronarium and that mulching with S. auriculata modified plant growth patterns under chemical stress conditions, demonstrating that pollutants alter the growth of this invasive species and that plant residues can interfere with the modes of action of these agents on macrophytes, with implications for management strategies and mitigation of impacts in aquatic ecosystems.

Habitat fragmentation limits the movement and mating of Leontopithecus chrysomelas, reducing genetic variability and increasing the risk of inbreeding. In Rio de Janeiro State, individuals accidentally introduced into an area of the Atlantic Forest pose a threat to local wildlife and public health due to the risk of hybridization and transmission of unknown pathogens. This research conducted an anatomical study of the testes of L. chrysomelas using ultrasound and histological examinations of the different stages of maturation, identifying the spermatogenic lineage present in the germinal epithelium of the seminiferous tubules. The result will be a morphological description of the testes and epididymis of this species, and the knowledge generated may support comparative studies of the reproductive ecology of neotropical primates, as well as aid in the development of techniques such as cryopreservation of testicular tissue.

This research aims to analyze land use and land cover changes and their influence on land surface temperature in the Revuboe River Basin, Mozambique, over the period from 2005 to 2023, through the application of remote sensing techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The research addresses a gap in environmental studies applied to the region, while providing technical and scientific support for sustainable territorial planning. The work is structured into three main chapters, in addition to the introduction and final considerations: Chapter I – literature review: presents a theoretical and conceptual discussion on land use and land cover changes, relating them to environmental and climatic effects, with particular emphasis on land surface temperature. It also discusses the fundamentals of remote sensing, its relevance in environmental analysis, and the contributions of different studies carried out in national and international contexts. Chapter II – Temporal analysis of land use and land cover changes: examines the temporal dynamics of land use and land cover, mapping and quantifying the main land use classes in the Revuboe River Basin for the years 2005, 2009, 2015, 2020, and 2023. Chapter III – Relationship between Land Use Changes and Land Surface Temperature: focuses on the analysis of the relationship between land use/land cover changes and land surface temperature, describing the spatial and temporal variability of surface temperature and establishing its correlation with landscape transformations. Overall, the dissertation demonstrates that land use transformations in the Revuboe River Basin, driven by agricultural expansion, urban growth, and mining activities, have caused significant changes in the surface thermal regime, contributing to the intensification of environmental degradation processes and microclimatic impacts. The findings provide technical-scientific support for decision-makers and policymakers, guiding environmental monitoring strategies, impact mitigation, and the promotion of land use practices more closely aligned with sustainability principles.

The present research sought to understand the dynamics of the conditions of possibility and historical contingency, experienced between the years 2006 and 2023, which engendered the transformations of the curricular structure of the in-person Bachelor's degree in Pedagogy of the largest unit of UEMG: the unity of Passos, examining to what extent the virtual connection between neoliberal governmentality and education was propagated in the PPC of the Pedagogy course and which discourses are supported as truths and to what extent these transformations are crossed by the relation betweenpower, subjectivity and difference. The corpus of the analysis was constituted by the PPC, published between the years 2006 and 2023, considered by me as one of the privileged artifacts, for being dealing with documents that were elaborated before and after the estadualization of UEMG. I cast, therefore, some looks at the curriculum of the Pedagogy course, academic unit of Passos and take as inspiration the production perspective of the French philosopher Michel Foucault and its extension to the field of the curriculum that allow me to think, the concrete world of discursive and non-discursive practices, the reality, the conditions of possibility, emergence and existence of the UEMG of Passos and the curriculum of the Pedagogy course of this unit. The analysis generated here allows me to affirm that the PPC published before the period of stateization of the university, or during the initial moment of its transition, articulate to the forms of neoliberal governmentality, that is, to an economic rationality and in this way, they operate the subjectivation of the vigilantly competing subject. In this sense, curricular policies and pedagogical projects that flirt with neoliberal governmentality can not promote the affirmation of difference and therefore it is urgent a curriculum-crossroads that makes of "thought a nomadic power", that is, a counter-revolution, that it goes through thinking the difference as a human right, that is, the right to difference, to others.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is the most widely consumed leafy vegetable in Brazil, and hydroponic cultivation stands out for its productive efficiency and quality. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms, such as Trichoderma asperellum, have been used as a sustainable alternative to stimulate root development, nutrient absorption, and stress tolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of inoculating different T. asperellum strains (URM 5911, CBMAI 1622, and BV10) on the growth of lettuce seedlings (cv. Gabriela) and their subsequent performance under hydroponic cultivation, comparing two application methods: seedling inoculation and direct inoculation in the nutrient solution. The experiments were conducted in a nursery and in a hydroponic NFT system. In the nursery phase, inoculation was carried out at 7 and 25 days after emergence, with assessments of root length, shoot growth, and biomass. In hydroponics, plants derived from previously inoculated seedlings and plants inoculated directly in the nutrient solution were evaluated at different cultivation periods. The results demonstrated that the fungus effects were dependent on the strain, the application method, and the cultivation time. In the nursery phase, strain URM 5911 stood out by increasing total weight and root biomass, conferring greater seedling vigor. In hydroponics, during the early growth period, inoculated seedlings showed advantages in root length and total biomass, whereas at the end of the cycle, inoculation via nutrient solution favored shoot biomass production and total weight. Nevertheless, seedling inoculation maintained superior performance for root dry mass. It can be concluded that both application methods present specific advantages: seedling inoculation favors initial development and root vigor, while inoculation in the nutrient solution enhances aerial biomass and overall productivity. Strain selection proved decisive, with URM 5911 and BV10 showing the most consistent results, while CBMAI 1622 exhibited less expressive effects under the evaluated conditions. These findings highlight the potential of T. asperellum as a bioinput for promoting growth in hydroponic lettuce systems.

São José do Rio Preto, a city of 480,000 inhabitants in the interior of São Paulo, is the seat of the newly created Metropolitan Region comprising 37 municipalities whose main economic activity is sugarcane agroindustry, and which depend heavily on the hub city in all areas of the economy. There is regional inequality in development and population growth: while the hub city and its surroundings have seen significant population gains, more distant cities have suffered a decline in population. The phenomenon of urban expansion in São José do Rio Preto has been considered dispersed and exclusionary since the last decades of the 20th century, and, according to more recent studies, continues to occur in the same way. This research is dedicated to a study on a local scale, focused on the urban structure of the hub city and its surroundings, and on a regional scale, bringing up contemporary issues such as the new dynamics imposed by the creation of the Metropolitan Region of São José do Rio Preto, taking it as a case study. On a regional scale, the results point to the expansion of sugarcane cultivation as an important factor in changes in environmental, economic, and urban dynamics, promoting a decline in productive diversity and in the capacity of municipalities to offer jobs and services that meet the needs of their inhabitants. The municipalities were grouped according to patterns based on their degree of regional integration, demonstrating that distance, rural productive diversity, the presence of manufacturing industry, and social housing are important factors for the development of small municipalities. The dependence of municipalities on the hub city establishes a significant pendulum effect in an extensive migration zone, resulting in dispersed urbanization in the region. At the local level, the results show sprawling occupation, with the creation of urban voids; urban fragments in rural areas; and socio-spatial segregation in the municipality and its neighbors. The appreciation of land in the process of urban expansion in Rio Preto and neighboring cities was evident, as was the movement to increase the value of already consolidated subdivisions, where vacant lots or remaining plots are the subject of real estate speculation. Faced with a scenario of a territory taken over by the advance of sugarcane cultivation and the installation of sugar and alcohol mills, the fight against regional inequality must seek innovative strategies, identifying potential economic activities that can bring development to small municipalities.

This research is classified as qualitative bibliographic research of an exploratory nature, as it analyzes works by Paulo Freire that are recognized worldwide, comparing them within the current social, economic, and educational context. It proposes to answer the following research question: How is the concept of epistemological curiosity constructed by Paulo Freire based on the study of "Politics and Education" and "Pedagogy of Autonomy". With this purpose, the general objective of this research was to identify and analyze the conceptions of the concept of epistemological curiosity presented by Paulo Freire, based on the study of this concept and the root "curi" present in the selected works: "Politics and Education" (2001) and "Pedagogy of Autonomy" (2002). Therefore, the specific objectives are: To identify with which other concepts epistemological curiosity is related throughout the works, in order to establish a correspondence between them and to investigate how these concepts are articulated with the current educational context. The methodological procedure used was note-taking, as proposed by Salvador. The analysis of *Politics and Education* (2001) revealed some central concepts related to the definition of epistemological curiosity, namely: Rigor/Rigouriness; Historicity/Human Existence; Emancipation; Ethics; Language and Autonomy. The analysis of *Pedagogy of Autonomy* (2002) indicated the following concepts: Criticality; Teaching and Learning; Rigor / Rigorously; Ethics; Incompleteness; Thinking Correctly; Autonomy; Authority; Praxis; Awareness and Reading of the World. Based on the identification of this data, an analysis of the respective recurrences in the two works was conducted, mapping the corresponding approximations, namely: "Rigor/rigoriness", "Ethics" and "Autonomy". In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of the concept of Thinking Right in understanding epistemological curiosity, despite it not being recurrent in both works. This relationship is established through the sharing of knowledge between students and educators in dialogical educational practices.

Finite Control Set Model Predictive Current Control (FCS-MPCC) provides a robust method for controlling electric machines, such as induction motors, by selecting appropriate voltage vectors to be applied through an inverter at each time instant using an algorithm. However, in the classical approach, its effectiveness relies on accurate motor parameters, which are not always available, thereby affecting both dynamic and steady-state performance. To enhance this behavior, a hybrid scheme has been developed, combining the Two-Vector Model Predictive Current Control (MPCC2V) approach and the Model-Free Predictive Current Control (MPCCMF) through an Extended Linear State Observer (LESO). Real-time input/output data and estimated parameters are utilized, leading to the proposed method named Two-Vector Model-Free Predictive Current Control (MPCC2VMF). This approach reduces sensitivity to parameter uncertainties and minimizes current and torque ripples by employing a modulator. Finally, computational simulations based on a 1 HP induction motor demonstrate that the MPCC2VMF method successfully leverages the advantages of both techniques, ensuring stable performance even in the presence of parameter inaccuracies.

Fibromyalgia is a common rheumatologic syndrome, particularly in adult women, and manifests through diffuse chronic musculoskeletal pain, which is understood as inseparable in both organic and biopsychosocial contexts. The bodily expression of fibromyalgia is related to the processing of the psychic apparatus, whose psychosomatic functioning involves a direct discharge of excitation without symbolization through the body, which, in turn, manifests symptoms. The scientific, theoretical, and technical framework of psychoanalysis has demonstrated that psychoanalytic psychotherapy promotes the restoration of harmony in affective/sexual life, enabling treatments with significant success for such organic diseases. There is a significant impact of this condition on health and the individual's relationship with their environment. This study aims to identify the state of psychoanalytic knowledge about adult women with fibromyalgia through a Scoping Review as proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Reviewer’s Manual for Scoping Reviews. It is assumed that this review allows for a greater understanding of this topic with the contribution of psychoanalysis.

In this paper, we present classroom research conducted to address subjective issues using Fuzzy Logic with 8th grade and 9th grade students. We begin by studying the basic concepts of Fuzzy Set Theory, such as definitions and operations between sets. We then propose a teaching sequence for the students, using a questionnaire and a lesson taught by the author. The research results are presented and, while they indicate students’ difficulties with fuzzy reasoning, they also clarify the interest and role of Fuzzy Logic, and therefore, Mathematics, in addressing everyday problems.

This research aims to investigate the implications of remote teaching for the process of students’ appropriation of systematized knowledge among children aged 6 to 10, identifying convergences and specificities observed across the different contexts addressed in recent scientific literature. The theories of Freire, Vygotsky, Leontiev, Castells, and the Four in Balance model were used to contextualize the identified challenges, highlighting the need for public policies that promote digital inclusion, teacher training, and the critical integration of technologies in education. To this end, a literature review was conducted, in which 15 scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024 were analyzed, selected from the ERIC database. The results reveal that remote teaching exacerbated educational inequalities, especially due to digital exclusion, lack of social interaction, and the deterioration of teaching working conditions. The absence of pedagogical mediation and collaborative activities compromised the cognitive and emotional development of children, while the commodification of education reinforced the capitalist logic criticized by Marx. It is concluded that remote teaching, although necessary during the pandemic, was not able to meet the needs of all students, especially the most vulnerable, reinforcing the urgency of a more equitable and humanizing education.

This thesis investigates the relationship between complexity and stability in food webs of freshwater ecosystems, and is structured into two main chapters. The first chapter presents a review of the key concepts necessary to understand food web structure, stability, and complexity, together with an analysis of recent trends in the literature. In this chapter, we provide a general quantification of studies addressing these topics in freshwater ecosystems, followed by a more in-depth examination of research published in the last five years. The results highlighted the most frequently studied countries, themes, and ecosystems, while also elucidating current directions in the debate on stability and complexity. This review further revealed the growing use of multivariate approaches, reflecting the importance of integrative methods to better understand processes shaped by multiple factors. The second chapter presents an empirical study on the stability of food webs and its relationship with complexity in tropical and temperate stream communities, assessing differences in community dissimilarity across space and time. We tested hypotheses related to: (i) structural differences between tropical and temperate food webs; and (ii) factors that enhance stability in these systems. The study revealed clear differences between the structures of tropical and temperate webs, as well as divergent patterns of diversity in their composition. Only a weak correlation was found between complexity parameters and stability, suggesting increase in instability in tropical webs and increase in stability in temperate ones. These results underscore the need to improve predictive models of interactions and stability metrics, as well as to advance studies that link structural aspects of food webs to their resilience. Overall, this work seeks to provide an integrated perspective on food web complexity and stability by reviewing concepts, highlighting current research trends, and presenting an empirical case study. The findings reinforce the multifactorial and multivariate nature of these processes, while also emphasizing the importance of continued research to enhance species conservation, the management of ecosystem services, and the broader understanding of ecological processes.

This final paper reports on the academic and personal journey of the author, Letícia Hiromi Tavares Ianakiara, during her medical studies at the Federal University of São Carlos from 2020 to 2025. The narrative addresses the transitions and learning experiences throughout the formative cycles, highlighting the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the adaptation to online learning. The course's teaching methodology, the Constructivist Spiral, is treated as a cornerstone for developing student autonomy, structuring learning into stages such as problem identification, information seeking, and the construction of new meanings. The learning experiences from the basic cycle, clinical cycle, and internship are detailed. Additionally, extracurricular experiences that enriched her education are reported. An exchange program in Portugal, at the Universities of Porto and Lisbon, provided a broader perspective on sexual and reproductive health and rights in an international context. Participation in an undergraduate research project on pediatric patient safety, funded by FAPESP, deepened her knowledge of scientific methods, research ethics, and data analysis, reinforcing the importance of empathy and quality in healthcare.

A participação pública e o acesso à informação são princípios basilares na gestão e planejamento hídrico de Portugal. Neste sentido, este trabalho se propõe examinar os instrumentos de planejamento hídrico participativo em Portugal e verificar se, de fato, tais princípios basilares foram observados durante o processo de revisão do Plano de Gestão de Região Hidrográfica Madeira 2022-2027. Para tanto, utilizou-se a pesquisa exploratória, baseada em abordagem qualitativa, bem como observação etnográfica da 2ª sessão pública para discussão da proposta do PGRH. Conclui-se que, embora o processo de revisão do PGRH tenha contemplado boa parte das etapas e instrumentos participativos previstos pela legislação, careceu de participação efetiva dos cidadãos.
