Introduction: This work presents a reflective autobiographical narrative about the personal and academic development of a medical student from the Federal University of São Carlos during the pre-clinical years, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The text discusses the course methodology, the transition to remote learning, adaptation to the Emergency Remote Teaching (ENPE) format, the role of facilitators in the learning process, and the challenges of integrating theory and practice during the suspension of in-person activities. Objectives: To explore the developmental experiences of a medical student in the early years of the program, shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, remote learning, and social isolation. Methods: The methodology consisted of the construction of self-authored narratives based on reflective portfolios developed during the pre-clinical years, combined with a literature review about active learning, the Constructivist Spiral, the COVID-19 pandemic, and medical education. Conclusion: In summary, despite the measures adopted by the program during social isolation, several learning setbacks were observed, especially in real-life settings and practical skills. However, the text also highlights the development of autonomy, resilience, and critical thinking in response to the challenges imposed by the pandemic context.

This is a history of the journey of a quota student in an elite medical program at a federal educational institution who faced several setbacks during his undergraduate studies, the most aggravating of which was his student retention. However, it is also a beautiful journey that permeates personal, professional, and scientific growth, interspersed with experiences that touch on important issues such as mental health and belonging. The appreciation of small acts is evident throughout the growth and difficulties experienced. Insecurities are addressed in a relaxed yet reflective manner, leading the reader to consider, if possible, their privileges and classes that go beyond those typically found within medicine.

This is a Final Course Work (TCC) with two components: a research project and a reflection on my medical school career. The objective of the study was to analyze the construct of clinical empathy in healthcare professionals working with low-risk neonatal patients. This cross-sectional study used the Jefferson Empathy Scale, Healthcare Professionals version, administered to 67 healthcare professionals in a maternity hospital in the interior of São Paulo state, from September to December 2023. Factor analysis with Varimax rotation was performed. The median empathy score was 116. Four factors were included: understanding patients' minds and body language, emotion and art, humor and empathy, and emotional bonds. No variables from the "putting patients' shoes" domain were included. Thirty-seven (55.2%) professionals reported not being influenced by strong personal bonds with patients and their families. The conclusion is that the ability to put newborns' shoes, and be influenced by strong personal bonds can improve.

This thesis aims to analyze the historical formation of the People's Commissariat for Education (Narkompros) and its central proposal: the Unified Labor School. Understanding education as a constitutive element of socialist construction after the Russian Revolution of 1917, the study seeks to understand how Narkompros organized and implemented a Marxist-based educational reform in the Soviet context. The thesis outlines a timeframe between 1917-1931: the initial structuring period of the United Labor School and the first educational reform under Stalin's government, inserted within the Five-Year Plans. The work also identifies the main inspirational sources of the Soviet pedagogical proposal, such as Marxist socialist pedagogy, and critically engages with the approaches of the new school. The analysis shows that the United Labor School was structured as a project that articulated scientific content, productive labor, self-management, and social relevance, aiming at the comprehensive formation of the human being. As a result, the thesis demonstrates that the United Labor School was not merely an abstract theoretical formulation but a concrete representation of the socialist education proposal, shaped by the historical conditions of the revolution and the permanent state of exception experienced by the Soviet Union. In this sense, it mobilizes Lefebvre's (2006) concept of representation to understand the school as a conceived, lived, and perceived space, and Losurdo's (2004) notion of the state of exception to contextualize the structural limits of the Soviet experience. It concludes that Narkompros's educational proposal expresses the historical attempt to establish a school committed to human emancipation, in opposition to the assumptions of bourgeois education.

In a context where more than half of pregnancies in Brazil are unplanned—a recognized public health issue—and considering that women in situations of vulnerability are more susceptible to the negative impacts of such events, the adoption of contraceptive methods that align with the realities of this group is an important strategy to prevent further increases in these numbers and to mitigate the complications of a potential high-risk pregnancy. This project aims to evaluate the satisfaction level and bleeding patterns among users of the etonogestrel implant in a municipality in the interior of São Paulo state. The study has an observational, cross sectional, descriptive/quantitative design and targets women of reproductive age in vulnerable situations who have been using the method for at least three months. The most prevalent age group was 26–35 years (39.6%), and the majority of participants self-identified as mixed race or white (93%). Most women had previously used some form of contraception (79%), with combined oral contraceptives and the quarterly injectable being the most common. Satisfaction with the method was considered high (64.9% reported being very satisfied), with the main positive aspects being its efficacy (71.9%) and convenience (64.9%). Bleeding patterns between 3 and 6 months of use were predominantly unfavorable (57.2%), but tended to improve to a favorable pattern (77.8%) after 12 months. Thus, the etonogestrel implant proved to be a well-accepted contraceptive method with notable advantages among women in vulnerable situations, reinforcing the importance of its availability for this population and the need to expand access to it as a contraceptive option within the public healthcare system.

In the context of the climate emergency, where cities have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions, the transport sector is one of the main contributors to both emissions and the depletion of non-renewable resources. This thesis presents an analysis of the impact of integrating sustainability strategies into bus public transport systems to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The modelling approach considered the perspectives of passengers, operators, and the community within the transport planning process, while simultaneously addressing environmental, economic, and social sustainability aspects. A multi-objective optimisation model was developed for the Urban Transport Network Design Problem, whose decision variables were the implementation of exclusive bus lanes and the electrification of bus fleets. The objective functions aimed to minimise the construction, acquisition, maintenance, and operation costs, as well as the construction and operational emissions of a bus public transport system. The European Environment Agency's model was used for the emission modelling formulation; it takes into account the technology and category of the vehicles and their operating speed, the latter being a linking parameter between the two decision variables. To solve the mathematical model, the metaheuristic NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II) was employed, which was applied to the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The case study was defined based on a qualitative analysis of principles and an investigation of the availability of open data in Brazilian state capitals. The results indicated that the strategies proposed are capable of improving the quality of public transport systems by reducing CO2, PM and NOx emissions. The scenario analysis demonstrated that when the measures were applied jointly, using overnight and opportunity charging during the day, the costs, although high, yielded greater environmental and social benefits for passengers and the community, with reductions in operational emissions compared to the baseline scenario of approximately 39.1 to 57.8% for CO₂, 92.9 to 94.9% for PM, and 86.3 to 90.5% for NOx. As contributions, this thesis sought to overcome the gap between mathematical complexity and application complexity by using an emission model dependent on bus technology, category, and operating speed, and by applying it to a large-scale network.

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine is fundamental for its diagnosis. However, the manual analysis of these images is a time-consuming and subjective process, and existing computational methods are often limited to a single pathology or rely on complex, multi-stage pipelines. A central challenge, not yet fully addressed, is the simultaneous occurrence of multiple pathologies in the same anatomical structure—a common clinical scenario that current models fail to model effectively. This dissertation addresses this gap by proposing and validating a robust methodology for the automated segmentation of multiple co-existing pathologies in lumbar intervertebral discs. The work was structured in two complementary phases. The first established the methodological underpinnings of this research. It consisted of a rigorous empirical study evaluating five deep learning architectures and four loss functions to determine the most effective approaches for the fundamental task of segmenting the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. This step ensured that the subsequent investigation into pathologies was built upon a robust and validated base. The second phase, the main contribution of this work, systematically investigated three distinct strategies for multi-pathology segmentation: (i) binary class segmentation, a baseline that treats each pathology independently; (ii) multi-class segmentation, mapping 70 disease combinations to unique classes (non-overlapping masks); and (iii) multi-label segmentation, which uses binary channels to explicitly model the coexistence of multiple diagnoses (overlapping masks). Our results, derived from over 200 training pipelines, demonstrate that the multi-label approach, especially when implemented with the V-Net and Swin UNETR architectures, achieves diagnostic accuracy comparable to the baseline while offering significantly superior computational efficiency. By developing a unified framework that integrates the precise spatial localization of symptomatic areas with the classification of multiple concurrent diseases, this work establishes a practical and efficient guideline for future research and clinical applications in the automated diagnosis of spinal pathologies.

This dialogical and interpretative study aimed to collectively construct strategies for the operationalization of a care pathway for people with harmful use of psychoactive substances. The research was conducted in a health region of the state of São Paulo, composed of six small municipalities (up to 70,000 inhabitants). It was developed in three stages: (i) data collection from the National Registry of Health Establishments and the Demographic Census to map the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) facilities and population by municipality; (ii) exploratory interviews with the Regional Health Department and local managers, carried out through an electronic form in five municipalities; (iii) six workshops with 17 professionals from the Unified Health System (SUS), including representatives from the Regional Health Department and participating municipalities, using elements of strategic health planning with a dialogical and reflective approach, in hybrid format (in-person and remote). Data were recorded manually, through audio recordings and photographic records, forming unique field diaries. The analysis of the first stage enabled the description and mapping of the local care network, while the analysis of interviews and workshops focused on two main axes: the group process developed in the workshops and the final product, represented by the agreed proposal of operational strategies for the care pathway targeting people with harmful use of psychoactive substances. The proposed care pathway considered the Psychosocial Care Model, the Harm Reduction approach, and especially the specificities of the municipalities, in which primary care (with multiprofessional teams) predominates, and 4 out of 6 municipalities only have CAPS I services. These factors posed challenges to structuring a singularized care pathway. The results highlighted the articulation between technical-scientific knowledge and collective production as a strategy to strengthen the intermunicipal network, in addition to incorporating best evidence in mental health related to management, training, and care in this context. Scenarios of institutional and structural violence reproduction were also identified, as well as weaknesses in psychosocial and interprofessional care, alongside the predominance of practices centered on medicalization and institutionalization through hospitalization—factors that reinforce user marginalization and vulnerability. As the final product of the workshops, a singularized proposal for the operationalization of the psychoactive substances care pathway was agreed upon, collectively constructed and oriented to the regional reality of small municipalities, culminating in the elaboration of two technical manuals with guidelines for its implementation. It can be concluded that the critical success factors lie in the collective and dialogical strategy for planning a singularized care pathway, in articulating care management with continuing education, in ensuring the technical-scientific validity of practices, and in assuming an emancipatory ethical-political guideline.

: Colorectal cancer is the second most lethal, surpassed only by lung cancer. In Brazil, the number of cases is expected to increase over the next three years, with women being the most affected. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is one of the most used drugs for colorectal cancer treatment, but it causes numerous side effects. To overcome these limitations, one innovative strategy is the use of controlled release systems. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymeric nanoparticles are among the most employed systems for this purpose due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. Three different synthesis methods were used to obtain the nanoparticles (NPs): nanoprecipitation, single emulsion, and double emulsion. The results demonstrated that the synthesis methodologies employed were suitable for producing nanoparticles with sizes below 300 nm, PDI lower than 0.2, and a negative zeta potential around -30 mV, with SEM images showing spherical shapes. Furthermore, 5-FU suggests a controlled and efficient release, and with the double emulsion technique, an encapsulation efficiency of 71.4% was achieved. FTIR analysis showed that the incorporation of 5-FU did not cause significant changes in the functional groups of PLGA, indicating preservation of the carrier’s chemical structure. Additionally, the NPs were not cytotoxic to CACO-2 cells in the absence of the drug, demonstrating good biocompatibility, and confocal microscopy indicated that most nanoparticles were internalized. Therefore, it is expected that 5-FU-loaded nanoparticles may improve drug efficacy and targeting, contributing to the development of alternative therapies against colorectal cancer.

This research analyzed Brazilian scientific production on suicide, aiming to understand its academic approach and identify relevant trends, authors, institutions, journals, and thematic areas. To this end, a quantitative bibliometric research methodology was adopted, using bibliographic data from the Scopus and OpenAlex databases, processed by the VOSviewer and Biblioshiny tools to construct indicators of production, citation, and linkage. The results revealed significant growth in publications from 2010 onwards, especially between 2020 and 2021, with an emphasis on mental health, social vulnerability, and clinical-epidemiological studies. International cooperation is noteworthy, particularly with the United States, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Canada. Among the most productive authors are Flávio Kapczinski, Neury Botega, Antonio Egídio Nardi, Maria Cecília Minayo, Karen Jansen, and Humberto Correa, and among the most frequently cited journals are Ciência e Saúde Coletiva, Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria, and Jornal Brasileiro de Psiquiatria. The University of São Paulo leads the production, followed by other reference institutions, and the central areas of publication focus on Medicine, Psychology, Psychiatry, and Sociology, confirming the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. It was concluded that national research emphasizes mental disorders, vulnerable groups, social and environmental factors, epidemiological contexts, and manifestations of suicidal behavior, highlighting the relationship between psychological suffering, suicide risk, and impact on work. The study evidenced the need for responsible communication about suicide, grounded in scientific rigor and neutral language, in order to support health professionals, communicators, and managers in prevention and in strengthening support networks, such as the Center for Life Appreciation (CVV). Furthermore, it demonstrated the relevance of bibliometrics for Library and Information Science, by applying its tools to the analysis of a sensitive topic, and pointed to the importance of future qualitative research integrating mental health, communication, and information management, expanding support for the formulation of more effective public policies.

The growing demand for food has pressured the beef sector to improve production efficiency. Intensive production systems, such as feedlots, have been increasingly adopted to meet this expanding demand. Brazil is a global leader in this strategy and currently the world’s largest beef exporter. However, the sector faces growing challenges in producing sustainably, including meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite progress, gaps remain regarding the standardization and use of sustainability indicators that adequately reflect environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in beef production systems. This study aims to develop and empirically validate a set of indicators to measure ESG level in beef cattle feedlot systems. The methodology comprised three stages: (1) development of an indicator model based on a systematic literature review of ESG indicators applicable to livestock systems; (2) validation of the model using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with a panel of experts from the beef supply chain; and (3) field application for empirical assessment of the model in small-, medium-, and large-scale feedlots. Fifteen relevant ESG themes were identified, weighted through AHP, and organized into indicators. Governance was considered the most important dimension by experts (42.6%), followed by environmental (36.1%) and social aspects (21.3%). Field results showed that large-scale operations achieved the highest overall ESG compliance (average score 9.03/10), followed by medium (7.67) and small operations (5.75). In governance, large producers scored 9.5, indicating strong organizational structure, well-defined decision-making processes, and effective control mechanisms. Environmental performance was lowest among large producers (8.44), while the social dimension had the lowest overall compliance, particularly in small feedlots (5.17). Medium producers performed best socially (8.02), reflecting greater attention to employee well-being. GHG emissions showed low compliance across all groups (20–40%), indicating common challenges in climate impact mitigation. Animal welfare, however, was widely met with high compliance across all categories. The developed model provides a practical tool for producers to manage ESG performance, assists slaughterhouses in supplier evaluation and incentive programs, and offers a foundation for public policies and regulations, fostering sustainable practices throughout the beef supply chain.

This study proposes the development of a new Trophic State Index (TSI) model for tropical environments, using the Tucuruí Hydroelectric Power Plant reservoir as a reference point, based on 14 years of data (2003–2016). To provide analytical validation of these results, two sampling campaigns were conducted during the rainy and dry seasons (March 2022 and October 2023). The Mann–Whitney test was applied to five sampling stations using as variables: total phosphorus, total pigments, and water transparency, along with the TSI defined by Lamparelli, to assess its effectiveness in determining the trophic status of the reservoir. Statistical analyses were performed at eight sampling stations distributed across all areas of the reservoir. Analyses covered both rainy and dry seasons and included the Shapiro–Wilk test for normality; Student’s t-test for normally distributed variables; and the Mann–Whitney test for non-normal variables. Relationships between variables were evaluated using simple linear regression with logarithmic transformation, and homoscedasticity and independence of residuals were assessed using the Breusch–Pagan and Durbin–Watson tests. A 5% significance level was adopted. Ordinary Kriging was also employed for spatial interpolation. The results of the analytical validation indicated that the medians and ranges observed in the samples collected in 2022 and 2023 fall within historical limits for all variables analyzed. A new TSI’ was developed, better suited to the reservoir’s conditions through the use of magnesium and total pigments as key variables. Ordinary Kriging enabled effective interpolation of the new index, confirming—across different seasonal periods—an appropriate trophic classification of the reservoir.

Humanization in healthcare aims to preserve the human dignity of those receiving care, reaffirming their rights and responsibilities while upholding the integrity of the physician–patient relationship. Recently, humanized care was incorporated into Brazil’s Organic Health Law, emphasizing the need for medical education to focus on this essential aspect of healthcare. This undergraduate work reflects the journey of a medical student at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and is organized into critical and reflective narratives about experiences lived during professional practice throughout medical training. These narratives encourage reflection on the concept of humanization in healthcare, highlighting the importance of empathy in the physician–patient relationship, the recognition of each individual’s dignity, and the need for compassion and respect. The second part of this work presents the student’s Scientific Initiation research, which investigated healthcare professionals’ perception of pain in newborns, aiming to improve and humanize the care provided to this vulnerable population. Thus, this work emphasizes the relevance of the concept of humanization in medical education as a foundation for comprehensive and truly humane care.

This Final Course Project consists of a critical-reflective narrative that aims to correlate the account of an international experience carried out at the Pontifical Catholic University (UC) of Chile, located in the city of Santiago, with the account of experiences in medical practices for neonatal care during the medical internship at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). The narrative proposes to compare Chilean neonatal care practices with Brazilian practices from a critical-reflective perspective. To this end, the text will be based on an experience report, with a descriptive approach detailing the activities carried out in the exchange program and in the pediatrics internship at UFSCar, analyzing topics relevant to the field of neonatology and highlighting the importance of international experience in the learning process.
