(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-11-10) Roque, Franciele Isabelle Reis; Fernandes, Amanda Dourado Souza Akahosi; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7901666626822625; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9590241266393722
Autism, historically conceived from different perspectives, is increasingly being understood in light of the neurodiversity movement, which recognizes it as a natural variation of the human condition. Despite advances in public policies and the recognition of their rights, the process of social inclusion of autistic children remains a challenge, considering the structural, cultural, and attitudinal barriers. In this scenario, it becomes relevant to investigate how inclusion occurs in the life territories of these children, from the perspective of psychosocial care, which values the singularities of the subjects and the collective, social, and cultural dimensions involved in care. Thus, this study aimed to identify and understand the process of social inclusion of an autistic child in their territory, considering the perspective of the child and their caregivers. The research, of a qualitative nature, is characterized as a case study, involving an autistic child and their caregivers. Data production took place over six months, using participant observation, field diary, semi-structured interviews, and creative methodologies. Data analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti software and a holistic case analysis, based on a detailed description of the child's and their family's experiences. This process included identifying central themes, organized into three axes: 1) Characterization of the Participants; 2) Daily life and social inclusion: possibilities from the territory; and 3) Barriers and challenges to social inclusion in the territory. The results show that social inclusion depends on both effective public policies and a sensitive and welcoming community network that recognizes human diversity. The study contributes to strengthening intersectoral practices and policies that broaden access and social participation of autistic children in their territories.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-11-10) Antunes, Gabriel Fernandes; Saavedra, Yovana María Barrera; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5009165247354319; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1306-0382; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2280958464723097; https://orcid.org/0009-0000-4619-6166
The inadequate management of industrial solid waste represents a significant environmental and economic challenge. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the technical and economic viability, as well as the main environmental impacts, of implementing a compact anaerobic biodigester for the treatment of organic waste generated in the industrial kitchens of a company in the chemical and petrochemical sector, as an initial strategy for adopting the Zero Landfill concept. The methodology consisted of a qualitative-quantitative case study, involving waste characterization, cost analysis of the current system, comparative evaluation of technical-commercial proposals, and the qualitative identification of the proposed alternative's socio-environmental impacts. The results indicated an average generation of 277.73 kg/day of organic waste, whose current landfill management represents an annual cost exceeding BRL 100,000.00. The comparative analysis demonstrated that, while the external composting alternative proved to be economically unfeasible, the biodigestion solution (Supplier A) presented itself as advantageous, with an investment of BRL 17,000.00 and a payback period of approximately 11 months, generating savings over BRL 40,000.00 in three years. Environmentally, the proposal allows diverting 73.3 annual tons of waste from landfill, avoiding methane generation, equivalent to approximately 125 tons of CO2e per year, also identifying an estimated energy potential of 44 MWh/year, in addition to eliminating external transport emissions. It is concluded that implementing the technology is a viable and strategic alternative, as it mitigates operational costs and promotes significant environmental, social, and operational benefits, aligning the company with the principles of the Circular Economy and sustainability.

The fashion industry, with its hegemonic fast fashion model, is configured as one of the sectors with the greatest global environmental impact, given the intense exploitation of natural resources, the massive generation of textile waste, and a significant carbon footprint. This study critically investigated textile waste management and sustainable consumption, analyzing the systemic failures of fast fashion and exploring strategies for the transition toward the Circular Economy (CE). The methodology adopted was a systematic literature review, which allowed for the identification of the intrinsic challenges of the linear model, the understanding of the evolution of the consumer's role, and the analysis of the opportunities and technological barriers for CE implementation, in addition to discussing the interdependence of integrated solutions. The research demonstrated that the logic of perceived obsolescence and the externalization of environmental costs drives a systemic crisis. However, the study also revealed growing consumer awareness and the transformative potential of the CE, enabled through innovations in design, new business models (such as rental and resale), and advanced technologies for fiber-to-fiber recycling, automated sorting, and digital traceability. In the Brazilian context, the implementation of these solutions faces striking challenges, including deficient recycling infrastructure, regulatory gaps in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and socioeconomic barriers that limit access to sustainable fashion among lower-income classes. It is concluded that overcoming these obstacles and promoting more conscious and responsible consumption demand a multifaceted approach, which articulates structured public policies, investment in technological innovation, and continuous engagement of all stakeholders, aiming at the construction of a more equitable, resource-efficient, and environmentally regenerative future for the fashion sector.
O grupo "cotidiano e universidade" para estudantes autistas: uma análise da prática de terapia ocupacional
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-11-10) Gutierrez, Ana Clara; Dias, Lívia Maria Simões; Marcolino, Taís Quevedo; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7197838515800679; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9694-5118; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9641338247897348; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1004864956946378; https://orcid.org/0009-0000-6584-6275; https://orcid.org/0009-0008-9811-6111
This study presents a critical analysis of the practice developed within the extension group “Everyday Life and University for Autistic Students,” offered by the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). The group aimed to address the desires and needs of autistic university students and to promote a space for social interaction, experimentation, and care. The research method consists of a Critical Practice Analysis, constructed from systematic records of the meetings and grounded in the framework of the Dynamic Occupational Therapy Method (MTOD). Sixteen students from different programs participated in the initiative, seven of whom attended consistently. The activities were collaboratively defined and guided by the needs and desires expressed by the participants themselves. Three experiences were highlighted: the Collective Body Map, the Theatre of the Oppressed activity, and self-massage using sensory balls, all of which were described in the intervention process. The analysis revealed that the group’s facilitation emphasized sensitive listening, collective construction, and openness to the unpredictable, valuing students’ singularities and the production of meaning in the here-and-now. The activities functioned as devices for reflection, strengthening bonds, and fostering engagement, configuring a space of care and health promotion within the university context. It is concluded that the practice examined contributes to the advancement of occupational therapy actions directed toward this population, offering support for policies and interventions that promote inclusion and student retention.
Inteligência ou status social? Efeitos de dicas sociais na confiança seletiva de crianças
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2025-11-10) Barros, Giovanna Megale de Camargo; Souza, Debora de Hollanda; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3640676759708745; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0485-7787; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3564810153711579; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-2288-9354
Given the unstoppable growth of fake news and their negative impact, it is important to investigate how people choose information sources and determine whether they are trustworthy. Developmental Psychology has explored, for example, when children begin to show selective trust in potential informants. Recent evidence has demonstrated that from an early age (3 years), children are already capable of selecting whom to trust in novel learning situations. To discern between good and bad informants, children use various criteria and social cues (e.g., level of knowledge and group membership). The present study aimed to contribute in this direction by investigating the effect of the epistemic (accumulated knowledge/intelligence) and social (leadership and/or prestige) status of informants on the selective trust of school-aged children. Thirty-two children participated in the present study, from two age groups: 6 years (Mage = 6 years and 8 months) and 8 years (Mage = 8 years and 8 months). Participants were administered a selective trust task. During familiarization, two characters were introduced: one was a class leader and the other was very intelligent. Next, the child was asked to indicate which of the two they would like to have as a friend. The vast majority of participants (80%) chose the intelligent character. During the test phase (6 trials), participants watched scenes involving problem situations, half of which required factual knowledge and the other half social competence. In each scene (trial), both characters offered distinct answers/solutions, and the participant had to indicate which of the two informants was correct. Results suggest a greater preference among 8-year-old children (Mdn = 6.0) for the intelligent informant in the factual knowledge trials, compared to 6-year-old children (Mdn = 5.0). For the social competence trials, however, no age effect was found. In addition, for this type of trial, there was no clear preference for either informant. In summary, the data suggest that epistemic status (intelligence) is an important social cue that influences selective trust in Brazilian children, especially those in later school age (8–9 years) and in situations that require knowledge. Social status (prestige/leadership), however, did not prove to be a relevant cue, at least in the situations tested in the present study.
