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.

Falhas na gestão do mercúrio podem ser percebidas na mineração ilegal, exacerbando o potencial de contaminar áreas de floresta preservada e de expor comunidades ao mercúrio. Embora o Brasil disponha de normas jurídicas para o controle do uso do mercúrio na mineração, estima-se que o setor emita cerca de 50 toneladas anuais de mercúrio para a natureza. O presente estudo avalia se o movimento participativo do “Território Médio Juruá” (TMJ), no sudoeste do estado do Amazonas, oferece subsídio à participação popular como um instrumento apropriado para promover políticas públicas efetivas para o controle do mercúrio na mineração. Para isso, a pesquisa investigou as ações dos órgãos públicos competentes frente às reivindicações das comunidades do TMJ. Os resultados da pesquisa inferem que a gestão eficaz dos recursos naturais requer uma governança adaptativa, que permita a participação da sociedade nos processos de tomada de decisão do Poder Público.

This undergraduate thesis presents the development of a teaching plan for teaching education, which is committed to the promotion of Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations (ERER) in the initial years of elementary school. The research is grounded in a critical perspective that understands ERER, as stated in Article 26-A of the LDB, as an epistemological field that requires the revision of historical and curricular foundations. The study aims to answer the question of how the construction of a teaching plan, rooted in the National Curricular Guidelines for the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations, can contribute to overcome shattered and superficial practices in terms of race that remain in daily school routine. The objectives consist in analyzing scholar work over ERER, identifying the main challenges of its implementation in Sorocaba, and offering an integrated teaching plan to the application of an anti racist teaching practice in daily school routine, through the teaching formation. The research is organized in four chapters that discuss, respectively: the history of racial relations and public policies in Brazil; the struggle of Black movements for the institutionalization of ERER; an analysis of the policy's effectiveness in Sorocaba; and a proposal for a teacher education plan based on ERER. In conclusion, ERER’s implementation requires critical pedagogical practices, articulated with the school board, which are capable of transforming education into a mechanism to tackle racism.

Perinatal Palliative Care (PPC) is an essential approach to ensure quality of life and dignity for newborns with life-limiting conditions and their families. In Brazil, despite legal advances, such as the State Policy on Palliative Care, there are still significant gaps in the practical implementation of this care, especially in the supplementary health sector. The absence of clear protocols, specific training, and institutional support directly affect the quality of care and the well-being of professionals and families. Using a quantitative-qualitative approach with multi-methods, this investigation aimed to evaluate the perspectives of health professionals in the maternal and child area regarding the importance and possible benefits of the implementation of a PPC Protocol in a hospital institution. The study was based on the principles of PPC and adopted Interprofessionality and Collaborative Practices as a theoretical framework. The methodological design included two articulated stages, the first being represented by a scoping review and the second by the application of a questionnaire, sensitization and focus groups. Initially, a scoping review was carried out to map the scientific production on SSC and its offer by the multiprofessional team, at different levels of health care, and a manuscript was prepared, following the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute Collaboration – JBIC and the report was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and the results indicated a predominance of studies focused on physicians and nurses working at the tertiary level, with low interprofessional integration. In the subsequent stage, professionals from different areas of maternal and child care from a private hospital in the interior of São Paulo participated, such as nursing, medicine, psychology, physiotherapy, speech therapy and social work. The analysis of the second stage was conducted through the Discourse of the Collective Subject technique, allowing the systematization of perceptions and experiences and the identification of structuring elements for interprofessional palliative practices in the perinatal period, the results indicated that the vast majority of participants believe that the adoption of a protocol can promote greater safety, reduce anguish and qualify the care offered to families; whereas sensitization and focus groups have been found to be effective strategies to support daily practice and foster reflections on humanised care; The absence of clear guidelines, the fragmentation of practices and the need for continuous training were highlighted as challenges. It is concluded that the implementation of an interprofessional protocol for PPC can strengthen collaborative practice among health professionals, promoting greater technical and emotional safety in maternal and child care. By being limited to supplementary health, the study has an innovative character and potential impact on the qualification of institutional practices, in line with the guidelines of the World Health Organization and recent public policies aimed at the humanization of parental grief.

In a digital environment where users are daily exposed to a massive volume of content, recommender systems play an essential role in filtering and personalizing information. These systems, however, face the classic dilemma between exploration (introducing new items) and exploitation (reinforcing known preferences). Finding the ideal balance between these two behaviors remains one of the major challenges in the field, especially in adaptive approaches such as contextual Multi-Armed Bandits (MAB), which learn continuously from user interactions over time. This work began with the investigation of different linear MAB algorithms in recommendation and offline evaluation scenarios. During these experiments, a systematic bias was observed in traditional metrics, favoring purely greedy methods (without exploration) and compromising both the analysis of exploratory strategies and the fair comparison between policies. To overcome these limitations, a new online evaluation methodology was proposed and implemented in a simulated environment. The KuaiSim simulator, based on the KuaiRand dataset, was extensively adapted to support multi-session interactions, contextual modeling, and temporal dependency. This infrastructure enabled a more realistic investigation of how temporal factors influence recommendation behavior. Building upon this new environment, the temporal method Time-Aware LinBoltzmann was developed. It combines linear models with Boltzmann exploration and dynamically adjusts the temperature parameter according to the time interval between user interactions. The underlying intuition is that users who return quickly tend to prefer recommendations aligned with their previous interests, while longer return intervals may indicate a greater willingness to explore new options. Experiments conducted in the simulator show that incorporating temporal information improves diversity and coverage metrics compared to baseline methods, suggesting that time is a relevant signal for modulating the balance between exploration and exploitation. These findings open new perspectives for recommender systems that are sensitive to users’ temporal behavior. The main contributions of this work include: (i) the identification and analysis of bias in offline evaluation protocols for linear MABs; (ii) the development of an online simulation framework based on temporal sessions; (iii) the proposal of the Time-Aware LinBoltzmann algorithm, which introduces temporal awareness into the exploration process; and (iv) the discussion of implications, limitations, and future opportunities for incorporating temporal information into recommender systems.

Federal universities face significant challenges related to the shortage of human and financial resources, compounded by the continuous consumption of supplies used in teaching, research, and extension activities. In this context, it is essential to adopt inventory control systems that ensure the efficient use of resources and the continuity of academic activities. In university laboratories, chemical reagents are stored in small stockrooms and, in many cases, are subject to supervision by the Federal Police, which requires specific licenses, strict usage control, and the presentation of storage conditions during inspections. The lack of structured control systems and the unrestricted access of students to these environments contribute to disorganization, material losses, and increased risk of accidents. In view of this scenario, this study aims to develop and implement an automated system for controlling chemical reagent inventories in order to ensure greater accuracy, traceability, and safety in the management of laboratory supplies. The research adopts the Design Science Research (DSR) method, which proposes the development of technological solutions applied to practical problems. The implemented system is based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology integrated with an electronic weighing scale, allowing the identification of each reagent individually and the real-time monitoring of its consumption. The results indicate that the integration of these technologies enables a hybrid inventory control model that combines continuous and periodic review, associated with the FIFO (First In, First Out) criterion and the physical reorganization of the laboratory. This approach increases record accuracy, reduces human errors, and improves operational efficiency. Furthermore, the developed system, based on open-source software and low-cost components, demonstrates reliability, ease of use, and automatic report generation, eliminating the need for extensive training. It is concluded that the proposed solution is economically viable, replicable, and capable of significantly contributing to the safety, organization, and sustainability of chemical reagent management in academic laboratories.

Deep Learning Inversion (DLI) has emerged as a promising and computationally efficient alternative to traditional seismic inversion. However, its practical adoption is limited by the scarcity of large and diverse training datasets. Existing research in DLI has primarily emphasized the design of novel network architectures, while largely overlooking the potential of data-centric training strategies. This dissertation addresses this gap by systematically evaluating the effectiveness of synthetic data strategies for enhancing DLI workflows. We first establish the fundamental capabilities of data synthesis, demonstrating the generation of high-fidelity velocity models using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models and exploring semantically controllable geological feature engineering through Variational Autoencoders. Building on these foundations, we conduct a comprehensive comparative study that empirically assesses the impact of a spectrum of data augmentation techniques (ranging from simple interpolation to advanced generative diffusion) across multiple DLI architectures. The results show that data augmentation consistently improves performance, while also revealing that more complex strategies do not always outperform simpler ones. Importantly, the choice of augmentation method is closely tied to the underlying model architecture, highlighting a critical cost-benefit trade-off in data strategy design. The practical relevance of this research is further demonstrated through the development of a state-of-the-art DLI solution that leveraged a massive-scale synthetic dataset to secure a top 1% ranking in an international seismic inversion competition. This dissertation contributes to advancing data-centric approaches for seismic inversion, underscoring that the strategic use of synthetic data is essential to fully unlock the potential of DLI.

In order to formulate its basic hypothesis, this research starts from the following question: does Barsa Livros, an independent bookstore, present itself as an element of friction [rugosidade] within the dynamics of vertical and horizontal relationships of the social organization? Barsa Livros is an independent bookstore in Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. It began its activities in 2020, initially operating digitally and with a sales system based on orders. As it developed, it adopted a hybrid approach: dealing with printed books and building its inventory; participating in fairs held in various cultural spaces; and, subsequently, also establishing a physical location, where its activities now take place and where its entire collection is housed. Through a case study, we propose to analyze the publishing market – notably the bookselling sector – in its current historical particularity, with the presence of digital technology and the power exerted by the use of information, presented within the empirical framework of John B. Thompson (2021) and through Bourdieu's (2018) field theory, in order to define the publishing and bookselling field and position the studied bookstore within it. Furthermore, in light of José De Souza Muniz Júnior's thesis (2016), we will study the position of "independent" within this publishing field, as well as the polysemy of the term and its possible characteristics in order to understand the possibility of Barsa Livros presenting itself as an independent bookstore in this field. Subsequently, using Milton Santos' geographical theory (2023), the dynamics of verticalities and horizontalities that compose the banal space will be analyzed in order to verify whether Barsa Livros presents itself as an element of friction within it. Finally, we will test the hypothesis that this bookstore functions as a medium and materializes this friction in space through the methodology of materialized organization and organized matter (OM/MO) as seen in Régis Debray (2000), in addition to analyzing the bookstore's collection as a technema: a technique that makes it point to reticular and/or contiguous organizations, as well as, in its double-body, relate to hegemonic and/or popular sensibilities (Santos, 2022).

This Final Course Assignment Thesis is part of the requirements set forth in the Pedagogical Program of the Medical graduation at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). It takes the form of a critical and reflective narrative about my personal journey - especially the academic one - throughout the past six years, primarily about my dedication to medical training. Although this is an academic assignment, reflecting on my experience as a medical student cannot be separated from the broader context of my life. After all, medicine is a profession rooted in caring for others, and both the person I am and the professional I am becoming are inseparable from the experiences and learning that have shaped me. This narrative is structured chronologically, starting with my entry into medical school, and is contextualized within the reality I lived at that time. It follows the academic progression through the three curricular cycles of the UFSCar Medical Program, with emphasis on the specificities of the course and how they resonated with my own way of learning, seeing and engaging with the world. Throughout, I critically reflect on each personal stage of this six-year journey, from 2020 to 2025, drawing connections between personal growth and professional development. The final section of this work addresses my current perspective on Medicine and the way I hope to practice it. It also touches on my expectations for life beyond the University and how I still believe there is space for emotion within professional life. I view as outdated the notion that Medicine must be purely rational, devoid of feeling. I’ve come to understand that empathy - an essential component of care - cannot exist without personal emotions. At the same time, I recognize the importance of practicing evidence-based Medicine, while striving to balance it with what I describe as “listening with the heart”. I am fully aware that this balance is not easily achieved; it is a continuous, intentional effort that requires continuous commitment. Caring for others also depends on caring for myself. Both are essential for providing meaningful, compassionate care. In the end, the very title of this work itself offers a fair summary of everything it represents.
