The work consists of a descriptive-reflective report, with a qualitative approach and autobiographical nature, in which I recount my journey over six years in the Medicine course at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). Based on autobiographical reflections built from my academic portfolio — the main tool for recording and evaluation established in the Political-Pedagogical Project (PPP) of the course — I present the main difficulties I faced during my training and how I managed them, organized into four cycles: the period before entering Medicine, the basic cycle, the clinical cycle, and the internship. Grief is the central thread of the narrative, since experiencing grief in childhood, following the death of my mother, is one of the main reasons I chose the medical profession. To complement the proposed reflective framework, I conducted a brief literature review on grief in adults and children, articulating my personal experience with theoretical references on the subject. Throughout the essay, I also discuss the collective grief experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, my participation in extension and scientific initiation projects focused on mental health and grief in healthcare professionals, and the challenges of facing death and illness during clinical practice and internship. I conclude that writing this essay allowed me to integrate the personal and professional aspects of my medical training, highlighting grief as a central experience both in my choice of profession and in developing more sensitive and humanized care for patients and their families.

The citrus industry is one of the main activities of Brazilian agribusiness, playing an essential role in generating income, employment, and foreign exchange for the country. This study aimed to analyze the technical and legal aspects involved in the production of citrus nursery plants, as well as to discuss the perspectives and challenges of the Brazilian citrus sector, in order to inform production practices that ensure phytosanitary quality and sector sustainability. Through an integrative literature review, information was gathered from scientific publications, legislation, and technical reports issued by institutions such as MAPA, Embrapa, and Fundecitrus. It was observed that the mandatory use of screened nurseries for citrus seedling production initially established in the state of São Paulo and later extended Nationwide represented a milestone in the modernization of the sector, reducing the spread of diseases such as Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC) and huanglongbing (HLB). The importance of using certified mother plants, implementing sanitary indexing, and applying improved grafting techniques and protected-environment management was also verified. The adoption of rootstocks such as citrandarins and Swingle citrumelo has contributed to greater disease resistance and better adaptation to different edaphoclimatic conditions. Furthermore, the expansion of citrus cultivation into new regions such as Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia, and Paraná reflects not only the search for areas with lower HLB incidence but also economic and structural factors that influence the productive reorganization of the sector. It is concluded that the integration of technology, legislation, and sustainable management is fundamental to ensuring seedling health, competitiveness, and the long-term sustainability of the Brazilian citrus industry.

In Brazil, the study of bovine longevity is extremely important due to the country’s position in the export and production of this sector and, for this reason, there is a strong interest in achieving maximum profitability in this activity. The economic longevity of cows is totally related to reproductive performance, with the trait known as the age of the cow at last calving (ACLC) being a very important variable in this context. Since this variable cannot always be perfectly measured in some scenarios, a censoring criterion is generally applied to this characteristic, which is based on the difference between the date of the cow’s last observed calving and the date of the last calving on the farm. If this difference is greater than or equal to 36 months, the cow failed, as she has gone too long without calving and will be discarded. Otherwise, the cow is still considered reproductive and her age at last calving is censored, since there is still a possibility of her having another pregnancy. Therefore, one of the objectives of this study is to genetically analyze the IVUP variable using frailty models applied to survival analysis. The use of this type of model is justified by the inclusion of random effects, allowing the prediction of genetic factors associated with each animal and also considering associations between them. Another objective of the study is to identify genetic variables that influence bovine longevity, and this will be done through a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS). The analysis is done using a sample of 862 cows, daughters of 47 different bulls. For confidentiality reasons, the origin of the data is kept secret.
