The school constitutes a fundamental space for the integral development, learning, and social interaction of individuals. However, despite advances in Inclusive Education policies, the Brazilian educational system still faces challenges in ensuring the effective inclusion of students who are the target population of Special Education. Among this group, students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) stand out, as their characteristics—such as deficits in communication and social interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior—may result in barriers to participation and socialization within the school context. In this scenario, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of a peer-mediated intervention program associated with the use of social stories to promote social behaviors in a child with ASD in Early Childhood Education. The research was conducted using a single-subject experimental design, with pre-test and post-test, involving a class from the final year of Early Childhood Education, with the effects specifically analyzed in one target participant diagnosed with ASD level 1 support needs. The dependent variables included observable social behaviors, such as parallel and shared play, initiating and responding to conversational attempts, and positive and negative social interactions. The results indicated a reduction in parallel play and an increase in shared play, an expansion of the communicative repertoire, and an increase in positive interactions, along with a decrease in negative interactions, as well as evidence of generalization of the intervention effects. It is concluded that the peer mediated intervention associated with the use of social stories proved to be promising for promoting social behaviors in Early Childhood Education, pointing to directions for future research and inclusive practices, including the expansion of the program to other levels of Early Childhood Education, the implementation of strategies by education professionals and family members, as well as further exploration of the use of social stories.

Education has historically been driven by a market logic that seeks to homogenize students, disregarding their desires, experiences, and cultures, in favor of reproducing dominant and hegemonic values. In this context, the question arises as to what extent teachers are able to exercise their practice based on autonomy and emancipatory processes inherent to critical education, especially those working in the São Paulo state school system. To this end, a documentary analysis of the Currículo Paulista, a normative document whose use is mandatory in the network linked to the São Paulo State Department of Education, was carried out to understand its principles, objectives, and implications for teaching work. The qualitative research was based on three parameters inspired by Freirean conceptions of education: denunciation/announcement, authentic praxis, and correct thinking, demonstrating that the document is configured as a political instrument, and not merely a technical or neutral one. In addition to document analysis, interviews were conducted with teachers who use the Currículo Paulista, whose accounts reinforce the perception of a reduction in autonomy and emancipation in the exercise of their functions. The results indicate that the document contributes to maintaining the neoliberal rationality that guides São Paulo's educational policy, by prioritizing the training of individuals adapted to the demands of the labor market and the naturalization of social inequalities. Therefore, the study advocates for the strengthening of collective organization as a way to confront the structural contradictions present in public education and society.

Ballroom culture, which emerged in the United States in the 1970s, established itself as a safe space for the expression of the subjectivities and corporeality of LGBTQIAPN+ people, especially those of color who have been historically marginalized. In these environments, the community finds a territory of resistance, identity reaffirmation, and historical recovery in the face of social, political, and cultural oppression. Despite its relevance, academic research on this culture is still incipient, especially in the Brazilian context. This thesis aims to understand, using oral history methodology, the role of ballroom culture in Sorocaba, São Paulo, as a space for welcoming and psychosocial empowerment of the LGBTQIAPN+ population, with an emphasis on its precursors and the contexts that enabled its implementation in the city. Specifically, the aims are: (1) to investigate the life trajectories of those involved in the consolidation of the ballroom scene in Sorocaba, identifying their motivations and influences; (2) mapping the sociocultural contexts and processes that enabled its implementation, situating culture as a space of support and belonging; (3) examining the welcoming strategies mobilized at the events, analyzing their role in preventing psychological distress and establishing support networks; and (4) identifying elements that contribute to the cultural appreciation and visibility of the local ballroom scene. Oral history, as a methodological tool, allows us to record experiences and narratives that are often silenced, enabling the construction of a collective memory of the scene in Sorocaba. The research adopted a qualitative approach and included six semi-structured interviews with participants over 18 years of age who worked on the implementation of the culture in the city. The interviews were analyzed based on the framework of discursive practices, according to the theoretical-methodological perspective of Mary Jane Spink (2013). The results indicate that the ballroom scene in Sorocaba is configured as a territory of community care, in which performance, art, and collectivity operate as strategies for confronting structural violence associated with LGBTQIAPN+phobia, racism, and social inequalities. The motivations for engaging in ballroom are related to the search for belonging, recognition, and possibilities for identity expression, while welcoming strategies act as protective factors against psychological distress. It is concluded that ballroom culture in Sorocaba goes beyond the field of entertainment, constituting a psychosocial support network and a political device for the affirmation of dissident lives, as well as an important space for preserving the collective memory of the LGBTQIAPN+ population. The research contributes to the visibility of the local ballroom scene and to dialogues between culture, mental health, and community-based care practices.

The thesis addresses the professionalization process of early-career school principals, investigating how their practices, identities, and professional knowledge are constituted within the context of school management. The theme is situated within the field of research on leadership and educational management, particularly in the debate concerning career entry and the professional development of school leaders. It is based on the understanding that entering school leadership constitutes a moment marked by challenges, learning, and collective negotiations that directly influence the construction of the principal’s professionalism. The relevance of the study lies in the need to understand how novice principals develop their practices and construct their professional identity in the face of administrative, pedagogical, and relational demands present in contemporary schools. The research contributes to the debate on training, institutional support, professional development, and induction. It highlights that the work of the principal involves collective processes of meaning-making and pedagogical leadership, in addition to technical and bureaucratic aspects.The study emphasizes how the professionalization process of early-career principals occurs, based on the dimensions of professionalism and collectivity present in everyday school life. It seeks to understand how these professionals learn to act professionally, which types of knowledge they mobilize, and how interactions with other members of the school, teachers, instructional coordinators, and other members of the school community contribute to their professional development. From a methodological standpoint, this is a qualitative study grounded in theoretical frameworks from the field of research-training (Morais and Bragança, 2021) and professional development in education. The study engages with authors who address teacher professionalization, the construction of professional identity, and career entry, such as António Nóvoa (1989), Shulman (2014), Tardif (2013), Roldão (2005; 2008), and Marcelo Garcia (2009; 2010). Particular emphasis is given to Nóvoa perspective, which stresses that professionalization is built through collective processes, through the sharing of experiences and reflection on practice.The results indicate that the beginning of a career in school leadership is marked by an intense process of professional learning, in which principals construct knowledge based on everyday experience, interactions with the school staff, and the need to make decisions in complex contexts. It becomes evident that collectivity plays a fundamental role in this process, as work in school management involves collaboration, dialogue, and the joint construction of practices.It is concluded that the professionalization of early-career principals results from continuous formative processes, situated within the context of schools and the education systems in which they operate, and supported by the development of public policies for induction and professional development. The study reinforces the importance of monitoring and institutional support for novice school leaders, as well as the value of collective spaces for learning and reflection on practice.

Chronic kidney disease is included among the complex chronic health conditions, affecting the vital functions of the kidneys and, in its most advanced stages, requiring renal replacement therapy, such as hemodialysis. Faced with the experience produced by the illness, numerous changes can occur in the patient and their families, in the physical body, and in the adaptation of routines and occupations. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to understand the participation in occupations of children with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment. This is a qualitative study, of the descriptive, exploratory, and field research type. Seven children and seven mothers responsible for the care of the children assisted at the Pediatric Renal Replacement Therapy Center of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará Foundation participated in the research. The research was conducted using an interview guide directed at the children's caregivers and with the use of a playful resource, specifically a board game created for this research, to guide the conversation with the children and assist in data collection. The data were analyzed using the Content Analysis technique, with the aid of the MAXQDA® software. The results are presented in six categories entitled: “The discovery: The journey to hemodialysis treatment”, which refers to the different ways of discovering kidney disease and entering renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis; “The children's routine: Before and after hemodialysis treatment”, which presents the changes in the children's routine, that is, before and after starting hemodialysis treatment based on the mothers' reports; “The change: Occupational participation from the caregivers' perspective”, presenting the changes in the way daily occupations are performed after the start of hemodialysis treatment; “Occupational participation from the children's perspective”, presents the way in which occupations are performed and participated in according to the children's narrative; “Difficulty in participating in occupations”, exposing the accounts of caregivers and children about the most difficult occupations to perform while undergoing hemodialysis treatment; Finally, the section "Significant Occupations" also presents the accounts of the children and their caregivers regarding the most important occupations for children undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The results showed that children with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis treatment experience a significant impact on occupational participation in various occupational categories, mainly ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), Play, Leisure, Education, and Sleep and Rest. Therefore, they experience the development of occupational adaptations that allow them to perform daily activities, in addition to experiencing significant occupational deprivations as a consequence of their condition, which can influence their health and well-being. This study reinforces the need for interventions that consider the specific needs of children and promote opportunities for full occupational participation, minimizing the effects of occupational deprivation and improving the care offered to children with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, strengthening child-centered practices, and reinforcing the importance of occupational participation for the quality of life of this population.

This dissertation investigated the effects of whole-body photobiomodulation (PBM) using infrared light on glycemic control in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide and is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia associated with insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Conventional treatment is primarily based on the use ofhypoglycemic medications combined with lifestyle modifications. However, therapeutic adherence is often limited, which has stimulated the search for complementary nopharmacological interventions. In this context, photobiomodulation has been proposed as a promising strategy for metabolic modulation and improvement of glycemic control. The dissertation was structured into two main studies. The first consisted of a systematic review of the literature aimed at synthesizing the available evidence regarding the effects of photobiomodulation on glycemic control in individuals with T2DM. Overall, the results demonstrated significant reductions in fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin, in addition to improvements in metabolic and hemodynamic parameters. However, the review also highlighted important limitations, including the small number of available studies, heterogeneity in the application protocols, and a moderate risk of bias, indicating the need formore robust clinical trials. The second study consisted of a randomized, double-blind, shamcontrolled clinical trial designed to investigate the dose-response and time-response effects of whole-body photobiomodulation on blood glucose levels in men with T2DM. A total of 40 volunteers participated in the study, with a mean age of approximately 60 years, and were randomly allocated into four groups: PBM for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or a sham intervention. The therapy was delivered using an infrared LED panel (850 nm) that irradiated the participants’ entire body. Capillary blood glucose was monitored at multiple time points: preprandial, postprandial, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after the therapy session. The results showed that photobiomodulation promoted significantly greater reductions in blood glucose compared to the sham group, particularly during the first hours following the intervention. The most pronounced reductions were observed at 1 and 3 hours after treatment, with partial maintenance of the effect up to 12 hours. In contrast, no statistically significant differences between groups were observed at the 6- and 24-hour time points. The area-under-the-curve analysis indicated that the 10-minute and 30-minute protocols produced the greatest overall reductions in blood glucose levels, suggesting a non-linear response in relation to light exposure time. In conclusion, whole-body photobiomodulation using infrared LED light may promote acute reductions in plasma glucose during the postprandial period in men with T2DM, with effects that may persist for up to 12 hours after a single session without the use of hypoglycemic medications. These findings suggest that PBM may represent a promising adjunct therapeutic strategy for metabolic control in T2DM, contributing to scientific advancement and to the development of new non-pharmacological approaches for disease management. Nevertheless, additional studies are required to confirm these findings and to establish optimal clinical parameters for its application.

This master’s thesis, developed within the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of São Carlos, Sorocaba campus, investigates the role of the local Judiciary in Sorocaba in legal proceedings requesting the forced hospitalization of people who use alcohol and other drugs in therapeutic communities between 2020 and 2025. The research problem seeks to understand how the local judiciary has responded to such demands and whether its actions contribute to the perpetuation of a manicomial logic, even after the signing of a Conduct Adjustment Agreement (TAC) in 2012, through which the municipality committed itself to the gradual closure of psychiatric hospitals and the implementation of substitute mental health care services. The specific objectives include analyzing national legislation on forced hospitalization and therapeutic communities following the enactment of Law 10.216/2001 (the Psychiatric Reform Law) and examining public court cases from Civil Courts, the Public Treasury Court, and the Small Claims Public Treasury Court of Sorocaba within the defined period. The theoretical framework is organized around three main axes: a brief discussion of the historical and social phenomenon of the confinement of madness, including problematic alcohol and drug use; the historical development of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, highlighting milestones such as the Bauru Manifesto (1987) and the enactment of Law 10.216/2001; and the legal framework governing therapeutic communities in Brazil, with an analysis of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Decree 6.949/2009), the Brazilian Law of Inclusion (Law 13.146/2015), and other relevant regulations. Methodologically, the study adopts a case study approach, combining documentary analysis of national and municipal legislation with the examination of court rulings retrieved from the São Paulo State Court of Justice database, totaling twenty identified cases, in addition to grey literature such as technical opinions, institutional reports, and complaints produced by social movements. Case selection criteria included thematic and legal relevance, social context considering markers of gender, race, and class, conflicts between fundamental rights, and the potential to illustrate contradictions between legislation and judicial practice. The local context is particularly significant, given that Sorocaba was once the Brazilian city with the largest number of public psychiatric beds and that, even after their closure, discourses of isolation and forced treatment persist, particularly targeting people who allegedly use alcohol and other drugs, especially following the 2020 municipal executive elections. The results, presented through the analysis of two cases from the Public Treasury Court of Sorocaba and one case from the 3rd Civil Court of Sorocaba, reveal significant procedural shortcomings, including the absence of detailed medical reports, the granting of preliminary injunctions without adequate technical justification, the delayed involvement of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and inadequate legal defense of individuals subjected to judicial measures. The study demonstrates that, despite the formal advances of the Psychiatric Reform and the Anti-Asylum Movement, manicomial practices continue to be legitimized by the Judiciary, particularly in the field of alcohol and drug use, highlighting the urgent need for stronger dialogue between the justice system and public mental health management, adequate training for legal professionals, and the strengthening of the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) as an alternative to the asylum-based model.

Intercrop systems can enhance productivity and profitability while improving the social and environmental conditions of their surroundings. However, despite extensive research on the topic, the relevant factors for their evaluation and optimization—essential for widespread adoption—have not been systematically identified. This study analyzes the evaluation factors prevalent in high-impact publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) and identifies research gaps in intercrop studies. The methodology was based on a literature search using the keywords: intercrop OR polyculture OR polycultural OR polycrop. An individual analysis of the retrieved articles highlighted the leading journals, main WoS categories, agricultural crops used in intercrops, and the factors studied within Agronomic (80%), Environmental (11%), Economic (6%), and Social (4%) approaches. Merely 37% of the studies adopted a multi- or interdisciplinary perspective, considering at least two of these frameworks. The categories 'Agronomy' and 'Plant Science' collectively account for 40% of the articles. Furthermore, 33% of the analyzed publications were concentrated in just 5 out of 210 relevant journals. The study also discusses the limitations of a disciplinary approach that favors specific fields of agricultural science over interdisciplinary approaches and indicates gaps and opportunities for future research.

This dissertation analyzes the processes of adaptation and permanence of teachers in schools participating in the Programa de Ensino Integral (PEI) of the state of São Paulo, seeking to understand how the institutional and organizational dynamics of this program affect teachers’ working conditions, their permanence in the program, and their relationship with school culture, in light of Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework. The study is situated within the context of the expansion of full-time education in Brazil, driven by national and international public policies, and the rapid growth of the PEI since 2012, strongly inspired by managerial and corporate models. A qualitative methodology was adopted, structured in three complementary stages: a systematic literature review, documentary analysis of official regulations and guidelines, and field research through questionnaires administered to teachers working in the PEI. The data were triangulated, resulting in three analytical axes: (a) teacher profile, characterization, and entry into the PEI; (b) institutional demands, management, and working conditions; and (c) conditions for permanence in the PEI. The results indicate that the accelerated expansion of the PEI has generated challenges in everyday school life, such as task overload, intensification of working hours, institutionalized surveillance, and tensions in teachers’ processes of adaptation and permanence, especially in more socially vulnerable school contexts. It was found that meritocratic logics and evaluation mechanisms operate as forms of symbolic distinction, reinforcing internal hierarchies and weakening professional bonds. Furthermore, adherence to the program is strongly conditioned by teachers’ capacity to adapt to the institutional habitus imposed by the PEI, contributing to feelings of instability, exclusion, or non-belonging. It is concluded that, although the PEI promotes a discourse of teacher valorization and pedagogical innovation, its practices reveal structural contradictions that directly affect teachers’ permanence. The strained processes of adaptation and permanence thus emerge as expressions of a policy that combines quantitative expansion with mechanisms of control and individual accountability, often disconnected from concrete working conditions. This study contributes to the critical debate on full-time education policies in Brazil and their effects on the educational field, highlighting the need for more democratic, participatory models that are coherent with the historical principles of integral education.

In recent decades, we have been living through a global socio-environmental crisis that has raised questions about the ways we relate to the world. This movement has fostered the creation of major national and international conferences and debates related to environmental education, as well as supporting the development of laws, treaties, public policies, and a great deal of research. All of this is part of a history that is almost always the basis for the writing of academic works that address themes related to environmental education. This history is extremely important for the constitution of this field of research; however, when we look at it, we ask ourselves: are there other histories of research in environmental education? To answer this question, we conducted a qualitative study in which we interviewed researchers in environmental education, with the aim of developing understandings about the meanings they produce regarding this field of research based on their memories. The data were analyzed based on dialogic discourse analysis, grounded in the thinking of Mikhail Bakhtin and the Bakhtin Circle. From the articulation between a narrative considered “official” in the history of environmental education, the memories of the interviewed subjects, and our analytical perspective, we constructed three histories: a first one, organized around historical milestones, events, legislation, and data on academic production; a second, composed of the narratives of the researchers; and a third, which emerges from the dialogic analysis of these memories. The results show that research in environmental education in Brazil is constituted as a plural, heterogeneous, and multifaceted field, marked by disputes over meaning, by different political-pedagogical projects, and by diverse educational trajectories. The analyzed narratives show that there is not a single history of environmental education, but multiple histories in which subjects occupy varied positions in the discursive arena that is the field of research in environmental education. The study also highlights the centrality of collectives, networks, and partnership relations in the constitution of researchers’ trajectories, as well as the importance of the subjective dimension, life experiences, and historical contexts in the production of meanings about environmental education and about research itself. By problematizing the official history as an ideological construction that tends to erase conflicts, displacements, and subjects, the dissertation proposes to understand the history of research in environmental education as a permanent becoming. Finally, we conclude that telling histories of environmental education implies recognizing its unfinished, dialogical, and situated character, and that incorporating the memories of subjects makes it possible to broaden and complexify the understanding of the constitution of this field of research in Brazil.

The social network Instagram has become an important tool, consolidating itself as a dynamic space for the production and circulation of narratives across various fields, including socio-environmental issues. When analyzing agroecology from its technical, political, and cultural perspectives, it becomes essential to map how these informational flows are consumed. Such analysis reveals not only the reach of the message but also the influence of agroecology within digital environments. In this context, the following research problem emerges: in what ways do the communication and engagement strategies on Instagram employed by the organizations ANA and ABA contribute to the dissemination of agroecology in Brazil? Accordingly, the objective of this study was to analyze the Instagram posts of the Articulação Nacional de Agroecologia (ANA) and the Associação Brasileira de Agroecologia (ABA), considering aspects such as engagement and digital communication strategies. The methodology was based on a netnographic investigation with a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative). Through descriptive statistics, Instagram posts were analyzed with a focus on engagement (likes, comments, shares, and number of followers) and thematic content. Data collection took place between January 13 and 15, 2026, covering the time frame from January to December 2025. The ANA profile has approximately 89.6 thousand followers and totals 6,080 posts. In turn, the ABA profile has around 31.6 thousand followers and accumulates 1,283 posts within the same period. Both profiles were created in January 2018. Within the study sample, 1,238 posts were identified, of which 847 belong to the ANA profile and 391 to the ABA profile. The results show that ANA presents a greater volume and regularity of posts, with a socio-political focus, whereas ABA is characterized by a lower posting frequency and more academically oriented content. Moreover, both profiles exhibit similar levels of engagement, suggesting that interaction is more closely related to thematic relevance and the use of communication strategies—such as images and collaborations—than to the sheer quantity of posts.

This paper presents an experiential account that analyses school experiences marked by various manifestations of gender-based violence, drawing on the relationship between the author’s formative memories—particularly during her supervised teaching placement—and theoretical frameworks of Dialogic Feminism (DF) and Dialogic Learning (DL), within the context of Learning Communities (LC). The situations described highlight the persistence of historically structured inequalities that manifest themselves through physical, symbolic, psychological and institutional violence, affecting girls and women. The methodology is grounded in the qualitative analysis of lived experiences, interpreted in the light of national and international studies discussing gender, education, violence and transformative pedagogical practices. The results indicate that the absence of intentional educational interventions favours the normalisation of stigmas, whilst practices based on egalitarian dialogue, the participation of the entire school community and the valuing of differences contribute to the construction of inclusive and safe school environments. Thus, it is concluded that the school, by adopting a critical stance committed to social justice, can become a space for the prevention of violence and the promotion of democratic relationships from early childhood onwards, fostering transformation in the lives of all members of the community.

Regular building inspections and maintenance, carried out according to technical criteria by specialized professionals, are essential to ensure the safety, functionality, and durability of structures. This dissertation aimed to analyze the compliance of a sample of building inspection reports with the parameters outlined in ABNT NBR 16747 (2020). The specific objectives included analyzing the historical development of standards and regulations related to building inspection in Brazil, relating applicable legislation to the provisions of ABNT NBR 16747 (2020), investigating normative requirements associated with document management, and evaluating the relevance of technical documentation in the building inspection process. The research adopted a methodological approach comprising a literature review, document analysis, and a critical analysis of applicable legislation. In addition, a verification instrument grounded in the requirements of ABNT NBR 16747 (2020) was developed and used to analyze 21 technical reports on buildings of different typologies qualitatively and uses. The results revealed gaps and inconsistencies in the analyzed reports, particularly in document management, descriptions of building systems, and references to applicable legislation. The absence or insufficiency of technical documents compromises the reliability of the analyses and hinders the proper characterization of the identified irregularities. Furthermore, significant variability was observed in the application of the criteria established by ABNT NBR 16747 (2020), demonstrating the need for greater standardization and professional training. It is concluded that document management plays a strategic role in building inspections and is essential for ensuring the quality and reliability of technical reports.

The absence or difficulty of communication during childhood causes impacts on development, the acquisition of autonomy, and the performance of roles in areas of occupation that are typical of this stage. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) aims to compensate for difficulties and/or disabilities that are expressed temporarily or permanently by individuals who present deficits in expression or comprehension. From this perspective, the occupational therapist, in partnership with special education professionals, can establish collaborative work in order to ensure access to communication and guarantee the full exercise of human rights for individuals with complex communication needs (CCN). Thus, this study was characterized as a single-subject research design of the AB Follow-up type, with the objective of verifying the effects of an intervention focused on AAC in the occupational therapy clinical setting. Two children with CCN participated in the intervention—one diagnosed with cerebral palsy and the other with autism spectrum disorder—aged nine and five years, respectively, and indirectly, their mothers and teachers. The procedures involved the application of instruments for the selection, assessment, and characterization of the children, the implementation of weekly therapy sessions, the recording of these sessions, guidance provided to teachers, and social validation with the mothers and teacher. Based on the independent variable (AAC intervention) and the dependent variable (the child’s communicative function), data were analyzed descriptively, both qualitatively and quantitatively, organized into tables and quantified by frequency of occurrence of opportunities and responses. As results, it was observed that both participants showed an increase in response emissions after phase B and an increase in the percentage of communicative types. One participant progressed from communicative intent to the use of conventional gestures and the use of a symbol through eye gaze, while the other progressed from communicative intent to the use of two or more symbols on a robust high-technology communication board. Regarding social validation, the mothers and teacher reported perceiving improvements in the participants’ interactions. It was concluded that the proposed interventions produced positive effects on the participants’ communication, as both began in phase A as emerging communicators and, at follow-up, were classified as a transitional emerging communicator and a context-dependent communicator. The findings of this study highlight that interventions tailored to the demands, interests, and life context of each AAC user are essential for the effectiveness of system use, ensuring that it is not only available but truly functional for communication.

Castable refractories are indispensable in the basic industry due to their ability to maintain physicochemical properties at high temperatures. Owing to the quasi-brittle nature of these materials, crack initiation and propagation over prolonged service times are inevitable, and improving their durability can be achieved through the development of compositions that maximize resistance to crack propagation. Fracture energy, directly related to this resistance, can be obtained by the Wedge Splitting Test (WST). The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique is frequently used with the WST, as it enables non-contact full-field displacement measurements on the specimen. In this work, the repeatability of fracture energy was investigated for seven nominally identical specimens, and the spurious contribution introduced when energy is determined exclusively from testing machine data was quantified. For three WSTs exhibiting the highest repeatability, the efficiency of the experimental setup in transferring work to the specimens, the kinematics of the Load Transfer System (LTS), and the fracture process on both analyzed faces were also investigated. Results showed that measurements based on the vertical actuator displacement systematically overestimate fracture energy by approximately 8.4% relative to CMOD (Crack Mouth Opening Displacement)-based measurements obtained via DIC, with the overall system efficiency stabilizing at 92-93% during the final loading stages. The kinematic analysis demonstrated that the loose-component LTS exhibits globally stable behavior, with negligible sliding at the contacts and roller motion asymmetries below 5% of the final CMOD. Crack propagation showed a two-stage behavior: spatial advance of the crack front followed by progressive crack opening in the post-peak regime.

How is working with clay intersected and crossed by gender relations in the process of being a woman and a ceramist? Between shaping the clay; academic paths; wandering through fairs and workshops; and listening to the life stories of women ceramists, the theoretical frameworks, specific objectives, and methodologies used in this exhibition were constructed. The theoretical framework of the research is based on feminist and decolonial epistemologies. The research aimed to address the triad of art-work-education and its intertwining with gender relations in the trajectories of women ceramists from the city of Sorocaba, in the interior of the State of São Paulo. These women were found through an independent art fair called Feira do Beco do Inferno; a political choice, since this space (or event) can be understood as an educational social movement. There is a sentence frequently used by ceramists: “clay has memory”. When this perspective is adopted, this research admits that clay captures and materializes knowledge, experiences, affections, giving form to feelings as a symbolic expression. Furthermore, it can be a path to subjectivation and autonomy, conferring the identity of artist or craftswoman to those who produce it. In ceramics, the triad of art-work-education intersects and interacts at different scales in the trajectories of women ceramists. Knowledge of ceramics allows access to a sensitive experience, to the dimension of the erotic and the construction of other work possibilities. The research also discusses the teaching/learning processes of ceramics as part of the concept of artisan pedagogy.

Multicomponent alloys are a safer and efficient way of storing hydrogen, as they can react reversibly with H to form hydrides. Alloys from the Ti-V-Nb-Cr system, for example, form hydrides capable of storing about 3 wt.% of H. However, when these alloys are exposed to air for long periods, due to surface contamination, it is necessary to perform activation procedures required to restore their hydrogen storage properties. In this context, our group was the pioneer in reporting a new activation method based on the use of a pulsed laser, called PLA (Pulsed Laser Activation). However, the mechanisms involved in laser-matter interaction during the PLA method are not completely understood. Thus, the main objective of this master's project is to investigate the pulsed laser activation (PLA) process of an equiatomic Ti-V-Nb-Cr alloy for hydrogen storage, advancing the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the PLA method. For this purpose, samples of the pure metals and an equiatomic alloy of the Ti-V-Nb-Cr system were prepared under five main conditions and their combinations: 1) pristine, 2) aged in air, 3) aged in water, 4) after thermal activation, and 5) after the PLA method. They were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), surface roughness (RA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and a Sieverts-type volumetric apparatus. The results showed that the PLA method was effective as an activation method only for the equiatomic TiVNbCr alloy, promoting high hydrogen capacity and kinetics, reaching 3 wt.% of H in just one minute. Surface analyses also revealed that the PLA method induces surface remelting, increased roughness, the formation of holes and cracks, and the formation of an oxide layer rich in Ti, factors that contribute to the material’s activation.

Introduction: Interprofessional education integrated with simulation in healthcare constitutes a pedagogical strategy that favors the development of collaborative skills essential to teamwork and patient safety, especially in the context of the medication process. The available literature shows a predominance of studies with observational designs and a scarcity of experimental designs focused on interprofessional simulation for safe medication, demonstrating scientific gaps related to the experimental evaluation of these pedagogical methods, as well as their educational effects. Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate interprofessional simulation scenarios focusing on the safe medication process for health professions students. Method: A qualitative-quantitative, analytical, experimental, prospective study, of the randomized clinical trial type, with two blinded groups (interprofessional intervention (A) and uniprofessional control (B)). The intervention consisted of applying three healthcare simulation scenarios of increasing complexity, previously constructed and validated by experts using the Delphi technique. Validated instruments for assessing interprofessional readiness (RIPLS-40), OSCE and ITOSCE for professional performance, and a validated scale of satisfaction and self-confidence were used, with appropriate inferential statistical analysis for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. The research was conducted with the approval of the Research Ethics Committee. Results: 57 students from Nursing, Medicine, and Pharmacy participated. Three healthcare simulations were conducted focusing on critical steps in the safe medication process, led by previously trained facilitators. A statistically significant increase in readiness for interprofessional learning and observable performance improvements related to medication reconciliation, prescription, preparation, administration, medication monitoring, and identification of avoidable errors were observed in both groups. The performance gains identified in the immediate post-test (30 days) were maintained in the late post-test (90 days), indicating retention of learning. No statistically significant differences were identified between the interprofessional and uniprofessional groups, indicating educational equivalence between active pedagogical formats. Additionally, high levels of student satisfaction and self-confidence were observed. Conclusion: Intentionally planned, expert-validated, and interprofessional education-based healthcare simulation proved effective in developing collaborative competencies related to medication safety, promoting significant gains in observable professional performance and readiness for interprofessional learning. Both interprofessional and uniprofessional simulations promoted consistent intragroup advancements, demonstrating educational equivalence between active approaches. The absence of a statistically significant difference between the groups indicates non-rejection of the null hypothesis. This investigation advances the state of the art by integrating, in an unprecedented way in the Brazilian context, the construction, validation, and experimental evaluation of interprofessional simulation scenarios focused on medication safety, representing, to the best of our knowledge, the first randomized clinical trial conducted in the country with this focus. The findings have the potential to impact health education and the improvement of interprofessional practices, with implications for promoting patient safety, improving health education, and strengthening health systems.

The undergraduate teacher training programs seek, through their curricula, to promote initial training for the teaching profession. However, due to the low interest in the teaching career, it is still common for undergraduates and graduates to migrate to other areas in detriment of teaching, factors that may be related to working conditions and the low recognition of the profession by society. Regarding Natural Sciences and Mathematics, there have been significant advances that allowed for greater visibility for the area with the creation of Graduate Programs and, in certain cases, curriculum reformulations. Furthermore, Teaching Incentive Programs have emerged in recent years aiming for greater attractiveness for the teaching career, through teaching practice even during initial training, as in the case of the Institutional Program of Scholarships for Initiation to Teaching (PIBID) and the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP). In this sense, based on Marcelo García (1999), Nóvoa (1992) and Gatti (2012), who address the issue of teacher training; Huberman (1992) who studies the stages of the teaching career and, Dubar (2005) who investigates Teacher Identity, this work sought, through a bibliographic research and, subsequently, the use of Discursive Textual Analysis, to verify which are the most recurrent elements for the initial training and also, for the construction of the Teacher Identity of undergraduates from courses focused on natural sciences and mathematics, in the context of theses and dissertations defended in Programs in the area of Science teaching. Results indicate that some factors appear as more significant for the professional choice for teaching, such as family and teacher influences, as well as the individual life trajectories of each individual. It was also observed, through the analyses of the dissertations and theses, that the specificity of the area of natural sciences and mathematics was not located, indicating that, despite there being identification with the area of study, this is not the only preponderant factor in the choice of the teaching career.

Introduction: Despite the benefits of physical activity for the health and functionality of older adults, adherence to recommendations remains low, especially in Long-Term Care Facilities for Older Adults (LTCFs). Individual and organizational barriers may compromise the provision and implementation of physical activity programs, and Brazilian studies addressing these factors in institutional contexts are still scarce. Objective: To analyze the barriers and facilitators perceived by healthcare professionals, managers, and owners regarding the implementation of physical activity programs and the reduction of sedentary behavior in LTCFs. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using a mixed-methods approach (quantitative–qualitative), conducted with healthcare professionals, managers, and owners working in LTCFs in municipalities in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Data collected via a Google Forms questionnaire were exported to Excel. Data from the focus group were recorded, and participants’ reports were transcribed, analyzed, and categorized using Bardin’s content analysis. Results: The study included 48 healthcare professionals and 12 managers and owners. The barriers identified from the questionnaires (quantitative and qualitative data) were mainly related to residents’ conditions, such as cognitive and physical limitations; organizational factors, such as reduced working hours and lack of awareness; and workforce-related issues, such as limited staff. Findings from the focus group further deepened these issues, highlighting strategies such as individualized assessments to adapt activities, strengthening interpersonal bonds, raising staff awareness, and management support. Among the facilitators, team and management commitment, activity planning, and availability of resources stood out. Conclusion: The implementation of physical activity programs in LTCFs involves multiple individual and organizational factors. Recognizing barriers and facilitators can support more effective strategies, contributing to the expansion, adherence, and sustainability of these practices within institutional settings.
