This research aims to explore how the learning of cross-cutting themes can contribute to the health of participants in a social basketball project. Using a qualitative approach, the study was conducted at the ASPA Institute, in Araraquara/SP, with children aged 7 to 10 years, through a pedagogical intervention consisting of six cross-cutting activities distributed across three thematic blocks. Data collection included semi-structured interviews with the participants of the local unit, the coordinator of the Multidisciplinary Department, and the reference Physical Education teacher of the social project, as well as field notes and documental analysis of the Institute’s Bylaws and Reference Guide. Data were analyzed using Structural Content Analysis (ANCO), based on isotopies, in order to identify recurring meanings in the participants’ statements and experiences. The theoretical framework is grounded in Jorge Larrosa-Bondía’s notion of experience, articulated with the health concepts from the Ottawa Charter (1986) and the 8th National Health Conference (1986). The results indicate that the implementation of cross-cutting themes within the context of educational sport is related to the health of children participating in the social project, strengthening bonds and expanding learning beyond the court, not limited to the biological dimension alone. The study contributes to the health debate by discussing the role of educational sport in promoting the health of children in situations of social vulnerability, reinforcing the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in Physical Education.

Seeking to understand how a curriculum is constructed within a school seems to be a relevant aspect that could contribute to physical education in schools. This research is a case study based on a private school founded in 1994 which, based on the interest and initiative of its physical education teachers, created and adopted, in 2011, a Physical Education curriculum that includes various contents, themes, and activities to be taught, addressing the theoretical, historical, and sociocultural aspects of physical practices and, before competition, the appreciation of factors such as cooperation and integration in sport. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the process of constructing and implementing the Physical Education curriculum of a private cooperative school in the school system of the city of São Carlos, São Paulo. The research was qualitative in nature and used semi-structured interviews with four Physical Education teachers from the school who participated in the process of creating and implementing the curriculum, as well as documentary analysis of meeting minutes related to the period in question, for data collection. The data analyzed led to the creation of four categories of analysis, namely: a)Physical Education building a new role in school, in which we highlight the main aspects that an updated view of the discipline should value for a rich and diverse approach; b) What to teach in each teaching cycle and how to approach the content, in which we discuss the main content and topics to be taught in each teaching cycle; c) Relationship with guiding and reference curricula, in which the teachers interviewed commented on the theoretical references of the discipline and especially on those that influenced the analyzed curriculum structure; d)“External” conditions and interdisciplinarity, in which we analyze important aspects to be taken into consideration beyond the content addressed, aspects that are important to assist in the success of a curriculum project. Thus, based on the research conducted, we identified that a diversified and pluralistic approach, which values specificities, interdisciplinarity, practical aspects, and theoretical aspects, is the most appropriate path to achieve Physical Education that fulfills its objective of developing critical individuals through the culture of physical movement. In addition, we highlight the importance of addressing, in future work with other possible study methodologies, the theoretical references present within the area and the implementation of thematic units and content for all cycles of basic education, from early childhood education to high school.

In this work, we study toric varieties as well as related objects, such as hypersurfaces, along two lines of research. In the first part, we establish conditions on a family of functions defined on an arbitrary toric variety, ensuring that the associated family of hypersurfaces is Whitney equisingular. In the second part, we present a toric structure for the 2-generic symmetric determinantal variety, together with a detailed study of the combinatorics of the cone associated with this structure. As an application, we obtain a formula for computing the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fiber of functions with an isolated singularity at the origin defined on them. Using this formula, we compute the local Euler obstruction of the 2-generic symmetric determinantal variety at the origin. Altogether, the results contribute both to the study of Whitney equisingularity in toric varieties and to the combinatorial and topological understanding of generic symmetric determinantal varieties.

The research examines the extent to which Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) No. 4650 reflected disputes between political and economic elites within the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF), based on the 2015 ruling that declared corporate financing of electoral campaigns unconstitutional. The theoretical framework draws on contributions from the Sociology of Law, which conceptualizes the STF as an arena of dispute among political groups, guiding the analysis toward an understanding of how legal reasoning and social pressures intertwine in the decision-making process. Methodologically, the study employs documentary research and thematic content analysis applied to the initial petition, the justices’ opinions, the 2013 public hearing, and the amicus curiae submissions. The results indicate a predominance of arguments grounded in the principles of equality (isonomy) and anti-corruption, mobilized by different actors involved in the proceedings. These arguments reveal the construction of a discourse in defense of political equality and the integrity of the democratic process in a context marked by the emergence and consolidation of Operation Car Wash and the increasing delegitimization of the political system. A low level of mobilization of the right to freedom of expression was observed, as it was treated marginally in comparison with the emphasis placed on republican values and the fight against fraud. This suggests that the decision was influenced by both legal reasoning and the broader social pressures of that period. The research contributes by highlighting the role of the STF as a space of symbolic and institutional dispute among political groups, shedding light on the limits and potential of judicial review in contexts of representative crisis.

Parabens are a class of preservatives widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products due to their antimicrobial properties and cost-effectiveness. Recently studies highlighted potential harmful effects associated with these preservatives, including hormonal dysregulation and increase risk of cancer and, in infants, parabens are associated with skin reactions and immunological dysregulation. Graphene oxide-based sorbents have been used on extraction of cosmetic ingredients and graphene oxide (GO) modification can enhance sorbents selectivity. This study developed and optimized an analytical method for the detection and quantification of parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben) in cosmetic samples (cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen) using dispersive solid-phase microextraction (D-μSPE) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and visible light detection (HPLC-UV/Vis) and mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). GO-based sorbents modified with ionic liquid, as well as commercial sorbents, were evaluated by dispersive solid-phase microextraction (D-μSPE) and microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS). The sorbent functionalized with zwitterionic liquid, ViImC4S@GO, exhibited superior extraction capacity compared to other sorbents. A methodology was developed using dispersive solid-phase microextraction (D-μSPE), based on the parameters such as sorbent amount, desorption solvent, solvent volume, extraction time, elution time, and sample volume; and method performance was assessed through figures of merit including selectivity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity, precision, accuracy, and matrix effect. Finally, the developed method was applied to real samples.

The changes in land use and occupation generate various impacts on the environment, including hydrological impacts, such as changes in the volume and peak flow of surface runoff. The implementation of the Lagoa do Sino campus of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) is no different and has the potential to generate these impacts. In this context, this study aims to assess the hydrological impacts of the implementation of the Lagoa do Sino Campus of UFSCar through hydrological modeling using HEC-HMS software, and to propose mitigating measures for these impacts. Understanding these potential impacts enables the adoption of mitigating measures throughout the campus's implementation, which is the most favorable phase for this. The results showed that the “Future” scenario, that is, the scenario of full implementation of the campus, will have a modest increase in peak flow and volume drained compared to the “Past” and “Present” scenarios, however the result obtained of a non-significant increase is due to the expansion of the permanent preservation areas (APP) located on the Lagoa do Sino Campus.

Citrus farming is one of the most economically significant agro-industrial chains in Brazil and worldwide, generating approximately 50 to 60% of solid and liquid waste during fruit processing, mainly in the form of peels, pulp, and seeds. Inadequate management of this waste leads to high disposal costs and significant environmental impacts, such as methane emissions, soil acidification, and water contamination. This study aimed to investigate the economic and environmental feasibility of composting citrus waste as an organic fertilizer, within the context of the circular economy and ESG principles. The research, applied in nature and using a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) approach, was conducted through a theoretical exploratory study adapting the economic feasibility model of Culas, Anwar, and Maraseni (2025), considering an average productivity of 869 boxes of oranges per hectare, an annual mineral fertilizer cost of BRL 2,245.35/ha, and a theoretical application of 7 tons of organic compost per hectare. The results showed that the partial replacement (25–75%) of mineral fertilizers with citrus compost provided economic co-benefits ranging from BRL 51.25 to BRL 1,544.01 per hectare per year, representing up to 69% savings over the cost of conventional inputs, with greater returns observed in high-quality soils. The compost presented a C/N ratio of 15:1, pH between 3.5 and 4.0, and high levels of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, promoting improvements in soil fertility, cation exchange capacity, and microbial activity. Environmentally, the process showed potential to reduce waste disposal costs by up to 35% and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, directly contributing to SDGs 2, 12, 13, and 15. It is concluded that citrus pulp composting is a technically, economically, and environmentally viable alternative, strengthening the transition of Brazilian citrus farming toward a circular, regenerative, and low-carbon model, aligned with global sustainability and environmental governance guidelines.

Este trabajo problematiza la forma en que la temática de la creación literaria se constituye como un elemento central en la novela O cemitério dos vivos (1921), de Lima Barreto. Partiendo de una crítica literaria que frecuentemente asoció la obra con sus aspectos biográficos, la investigación busca profundizar en los procesos dinámicos de creación del escritor, reconociendo, en el tema de la creación literaria, el eje estructurador de la narrativa, dado que la novela se organiza en torno a la elaboración de un libro por parte del narrador Vicente Mascarenhas. Se observa que el acto de labor literaria promovido por el narrador configura una reflexión sobre el papel social del escritor en las primeras décadas del siglo XX y cuestiona la concepción de literatura vigente en la época, al mismo tiempo que evidencia los desafíos de mantenerse en los espacios de legitimación literaria.

This work presents a reflection on cultural mediation in the school context, focusing on the teacher's role in bringing children closer to art, specifically drawing, as a form of expression and knowledge. Using a qualitative and bibliographical methodology, the study sought to understand how the mediation process, carried out through sensitive listening, can stimulate creation and dialogue between children and works of art. The research was developed based on authors who discuss art and pedagogy as fields that intertwine in human formation, highlighting the importance of the teacher acting as a mediator in art. The results indicate that preschool is a privileged place for children to come into contact with the arts, and that cultural mediation by teachers, as an attitude of listening, of being among many, of learning together, contributes to the aesthetic experience, to the wholeness of the child's presence with themselves, with others, with material objects, and with space, enabling them to experience their personal, historical, and cultural identity more fully, while enriching teaching practice, making it more reflective and meaningful.

This undergraduate thesis was structured into two complementary chapters. Chapter 1 presents the theoretical framework and justification of the research, addressing the issue of botanical imperception—defined as the difficulty individuals face in recognizing the importance of plants in ecosystems and human life. It discusses cultural, pedagogical, and neurophysiological causes linked to traditional Botany teaching and highlights the need for active learning methodologies, such as learning by doing, in non-formal environments. Within this context, the study proposed the use of a Sensory Garden (SG) as an educational tool that integrates sensory perception, emotion, and scientific knowledge to foster meaningful learning and environmental awareness. Chapter 2 consists of the scientific article that implemented this approach. The study was carried out with 22 students from the technical Agronomy program at Escola Estadual Ivens Vieira (Angatuba/SP), in partnership with the Conservation Biology Laboratory at the Federal University of São Carlos – Lagoa do Sino Campus (Buri/SP). The experimental design included theoretical lectures and practical activities in the SG. Statistical analyses (Student’s t test and chi-square test) revealed no significant differences between the trea and control groups (p > 0.05), leading to acceptance of the null hypothesis. Nevertheless, qualitative observations demonstrated greater engagement and curiosity among students involved in practical tasks, underscoring the SG’s formative potential for Botany education and its capacity to promote a more sensitive and lasting botanical perception.

The discharge of effluents without proper treatment is one of the main causes of pollution in water bodies, leading to a series of environmental problems that demand solutions combining environmental compliance and operational viability. In this context, bioremediation stands out as an alternative to optimize the efficiency of stabilization ponds in the dairy sector, aiming for a more sustainable, low-cost treatment with high pollutant removal capacity. This study evaluated the efficiency of phytoremediation using aquatic macrophytes in a facultative lagoon employed for the treatment of effluents from a processed dairy industry, located at the Savencia Brasil unit in Angatuba, São Paulo. The research aimed to verify the technical and environmental feasibility of applying the species Pontederia crassipes Mart., Canna x generalis, and Cyperus alternifolius L. to improve effluent quality and reduce organic load. The physicochemical and statistical monitoring of parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) demonstrated that the system performed satisfactorily, achieving an average BOD removal efficiency of 89.5% and COD removal above 80%, while maintaining pH levels within legal limits. The plant development of the root system and the high colonization capacity of the macrophytes favored the retention of suspended solids and stimulated microbial activity, enhancing effluent quality improvement. Seasonal variations and occasional operational interferences, such as breakage of containment areas and replanting periods, temporarily influenced performance but did not compromise treatment stability. The results demonstrated the potential of phytoremediation as a biological treatment model for dairy industry effluents. This technology represents an efficient, low-cost, and environmentally sustainable alternative, contributing to effluent compliance with current legislation and promoting local ecological benefits.

The aim of this study was to produce cellulose nanofibrils from macroalgae for use in enzyme immobilization. The effect of the pre-treatment step on the cellulose isolation was investigated, as well as the relationship between macroalgae mechanical defibrillation and nanofibril size. Furthermore, the relationship between bleaching treatment and crystallinity index of the nanofibrils was investigated, as well as the effect on thermal stability and stability in colloidal suspension. The results showed that the bleaching step promoted the removal of lignocellulosic matrix components, increasing the crystallinity index from 29.5% to 78.3%. In addition, mechanical defibrillation led to the formation of thin nanofibrils (D = 4 nm). Thermal stability of cellulose decreased after bleaching (from 259.2°C to 239.7°C), but the stability of the colloidal suspension increased, as shown by the measurement of the zeta potential, which reduced from -22.4 to -59 mV. The nanofibrils produced were subsequently used in the immobilization phytase, where the effect of pH and ionic strength were evaluated. The biocatalysts produced by immobilization in sodium phosphate buffer at a concentration of 20 mM and pH 6 obtained higher values of immobilization yield (98.9%) and recovered activity (94.8%). The methodology developed herein was efficient in producing cellulose nanofibrils with potential application as particles for enzymatic immobilization.

Rainfall interception by vegetation is a fundamental component of the forest water balance, regulating soil recharge, evapotranspiration, and surface runoff. Despite the widespread use of eucalyptus in reforestation programs, there remains a lack of quantitative assessments of rainfall redistribution beneath its canopy—particularly in transition zones between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, such as the Alto Paranapanema Water Resources Management Unit (UGRHI-14). This study aimed to quantify and analyze rainfall interception fluxes in Eucalyptus spp. individuals within a forest fragment at the Lagoa do Sino campus (UFSCar) in Buri, São Paulo State, emphasizing the influence of meteorological variables and tree characteristics on rainfall redistribution. From December 2024 to June 2025, rainfall events were monitored using 18 rain gauges beneath three trees to measure throughfall, hoses attached to five trees to collect stemflow, and three external gauges to record gross precipitation. Local meteorological data—temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, and dew point—supported statistical analyses including Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlations and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Throughfall accounted for 60–90% of gross rainfall, stemflow ranged from 1.5% to 11%, and canopy interception reached up to 23% during low-intensity events. Stemflow exhibited negative correlations with mean air temperature (r = −0.74) and dew point (r = −0.76), indicating greater trunk flow under cool and humid conditions. PCA identified two dominant gradients: an energy axis, comprising temperature, radiation, and solar input, which explained 59% of total variance; and a pluviometric axis, associated with total rainfall, throughfall, and rainfall variability, explaining 18.7%. These gradients delineate two distinct hydrological regimes: an energy-driven regime, characterized by enhanced evaporation and reduced canopy retention; and a rainfall-driven regime, marked by canopy saturation and increased stemflow. The findings of this preliminary investigation enhance the understanding of rainfall interception and redistribution processes in eucalyptus forests, providing valuable insights for water balance modeling, plantation management, and water resource conservation in ecologically transitional landscapes.

Bacterial infections represent a widely recognized health problem and can be triggered by superficial or deep skin lesions. This scenario, combined with the growing number of cases of bacterial resistance, has intensified interest in research into new antimicrobials, both as complementary options and as more efficient forms of administration.Anacardium humile,A plant native to the Brazilian Cerrado and used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, it has potential as a source of bioactive metabolites. The microorganisms that inhabit the internal tissues of plants stand out as a promising alternative to the excessive use of antibiotics, as they act in the biological control of phytopathogens and produce metabolites of biotechnological interest. Furthermore, submicron fiber mats have proven relevant in the development of dressings, as they enable the slow release of drugs due to their large surface area and high porosity. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the endophytic microbial diversity isolated fromAnacardium humile,with emphasis on its biological control potentialin vitro and in the characterization of enzymes produced by these microorganisms, that act as producers of secondary metabolites, evaluating their physiological and morphotintorial characteristics and their antagonic functions.Of the 65 bacterial isolates, amylase (73.8%), cellulase (43%), lipase (3%) and esterase (3%) enzymatic activities were observed, however, only 4 isolates obtained relevant inhibition halos, but only 2 isolates were identified that presented positive results for the 3 clinical strains.E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans. The 16S rDNA gene of 2 endophytic bacteria isolated fromAnacardium humilewas sequenced for taxonomic identification purposes. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of 2 bacterial species, namelyBacillus subtilisandBacillus amyloliquefaciensThese bacterial species were subjected to a growth curve characterization test to evaluate the best fermentation period for the endophytic microorganisms. The endophytic metabolic extracts were combined with basil, limonene, and clove essential oils, complementing the antagonistic action against strains ofE. coli, S. aureus and C.albicans and subsequently incorporated into polymeric fiber webs produced by solution blow spinning. The incorporation of lyophilized metabolic extracts ofB. amyloliquefaciens and B. subtilisassociated with essential oils in fiber sheets of the commercial biopolymer Ecovio F2332, were produced using the solution blow spinning (SBS) technique. Although the sheets presented a smaller inhibition zone when compared to the metabolic extracts associated with essential oils, their use was necessary because the extracts presented cytotoxic results, which was not observed in the spun polymer sheets, indicating the potential of these platforms for further studies for applications in skin dressings

This dissertation investigates whether economic growth, income inequality, and poverty in Mozambique, based on panel data from the country‘s provinces, can be characterized as propoor. The study aims to assess whether economic growth is associated with poverty reduction and to identify the role of structural variables related to education, health, and sanitation. The econometric results indicate that economic growth has a negative and statistically significant effect on poverty, suggesting that increases in average income are associated with its reduction. Conversely, income inequality, measured by the Gini index, has a positive and significant effect, indicating that increases in inequality are associated with higher poverty, even when controlling for other socioeconomic factors. Among the structural variables, the gross enrollment rate was statistically significant and negatively associated with poverty, highlighting the importance of school progression and retention. Health infrastructure showed negative effects and, in some specifications, statistical or marginal significance, suggesting a relevant role in reducing socioeconomic vulnerability. In contrast, basic sanitation indicators were not statistically significant in the estimated models. Overall, the results indicate that poverty in Mozambique is consistently influenced by economic growth and income inequality, while broader educational progress and access to health services represent important structural channels explaining its dynamics.

Currently, organizations see environmental and financial performance as an inseparable binomial. Against this backdrop, this study aims to understand the individual impact of the Environmental, Social, and Governance pillars on business performance. To this end, this dissertation is structured into two articles. In the first, a systematic review of the literature on business performance in different clusters is carried out, providing a clear overview of trends and indicating possible directions for future research. In the second article, based on a panel of S&P 500 companies (from 2018 to 2024), the E (environmental), S (social), and G (Governance) scores developed by Bloomberg were collected. The results show that only the E (Environmental) score has a positive impact on corporate performance (ROA), while the S score has a negative impact, and the G score was not statistically relevant. The results obtained are among the few studies to dissociate ESG into its different pillars, so the findings may be useful in terms of directing resources and re-evaluating S and G strategies.

The lack of systematization of hydrological data is a common issue in Brazil. One indication of this is that only 40.6% of municipalities possess a risk management plan, a crucial step in mitigating the impacts of natural disasters. Furthermore, the effects of climate change have intensified the frequency of extreme events, thereby increasing the need for methodologies that more accurately reflect reality, are easily obtainable, and accessible for predicting and mitigating the impacts of such events. In light of this scenario, the present study aimed to map flooded areas resulting from extreme events based on a historical retrospective of flood occurrences using citizen science, and to compare the flood maps generated by different methods. To this end, two Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) were employed: one generated by a drone without RTK and another provided by ANADEM. Additionally, two methods for generating flood maps were evaluated: the HAND Model software and QGIS using the table reclassification tool. Regarding the results obtained, the ANADEM DTM combined with the HAND Model demonstrated superior performance, achieving an AG of 100% and an F1 score of 1.00 for the 2004 event. For the year 2016, this configuration yielded an AG of 85.71% and an F1 score of 0.92. The maps generated using the drone DTM produced less representative results, with AG values of 69.23% and 61.54% for the year 2004, and AG of 85.71% and F1 score of 0.92 for the 2016 event using the HAND and QGIS models, respectively. Despite the limitations associated with the method, the collection of data and flood records through citizen science proved to be an effective alternative for obtaining information in regions with a deficit of systematized data. The integration of this approach with the analysis of historical series enabled the mapping of flood-prone areas and the identification of critical events, a fundamental step in the development of risk management plans. It is concluded that the applied methodology constitutes a viable, accessible, and reproducible alternative for mapping areas susceptible to flooding, thereby contributing to the enhancement of territorial management and the strengthening of public policies focused on adaptation and mitigation in response to natural disasters.

With the rise and popularization of social networks, different parts of the globe are increasingly connected through technology, enabling the accelerated dissemination of information to anyone and everyone, an activity that was previously the domain of journalists, professionals committed to fact-checking before reporting them. With the absence of this commitment to information, there is a growing circulation of misinformation, or fake news, especially in Brazilian municipalities where there is no official media outlet, that is, in the so-called news deserts. Therefore, this work seeks to understand the importance of media literacy in combating this social problem, mainly through local journalism and multimodal reporting, which reach a larger number of readers. To achieve these objectives, the methodology involves a case study of the special report "Sem Notícias" (Without News), produced by Agência Mural, on news deserts and the impacts of misinformation on people's lives, and interviews with a journalist responsible for the news. The study observes that new journalistic textual architectures are important for information to reach a wider audience, and that classroom activities can be considered potential media literacy initiatives, helping to combat misinformation.

Considering the growing relevance of agroforestry systems as a sustainable alternative for agricultural production and environmental conservation, this study aims to analyze biomass production in agroforestry systems as an effective strategy for sustainability. To this end, a qualitative research was conducted, based on a bibliographic review of materials published in the last 10 years, including scientific articles, theses, dissertations, and technical reports. The results revealed that agroforestry systems offer multiple benefits, such as increased soil fertility, water conservation, and erosion reduction, in addition to significantly contributing to biomass generation used as a renewable energy source and agricultural input. Species such as mutambo and capim - Mombaça stood out for their efficiency in biomass production, while practices like the integration of agroforestry reforestation demonstrated high potential for climate change mitigation. These findings suggest that agroforestry systems represent a promising solution to combine agricultural production, environmental conservation, and social benefits, contributing to the resilience of rural communities and to global sustainability goals.
