The LEARNER WITH AUTISM: MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This article is the result of research carried out in the Specialization Course in Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Field of Digital Technologies (TDICS), offered by the Federal University of Tocantins - UFT. Considering that digital resources provide and encourage different learning profiles by presenting the same content in different forms, such as audio, video and readings, research is carried out on multiple intelligences and mobile applications: connections and possibilities for learners with autism, in order to identify free and open mobile applications and the stimulation of the multiple intelligences of learners with autism. To this end, it is necessary to understand how these mobile applications stimulate multiple intelligences from the perspective of learners with autism, and to map the free and open applications found and the intelligence they stimulate and their suitability for learners with autism. A hypothetical deductive study is then carried out, with a qualitative and exploratory approach through bibliographic research and content analysis. In view of this, it is clear that technology present in everyday life should be seen as an ally, it is there to make life easier for learners with autism, helping them with their tasks and difficulties. Everyone learns, a child with autism may not be able to verbalize, but with the help of assistive technology they will be able to do so and develop their mental schemes, their intelligence, which leads to the realization that there are many free applications for learners with autism available in online stores and it is possible to find more than one software with the same function.

Abstract

This article's main theme is public security as a fundamental right, also presenting the tools and policies necessary to ensure the effectiveness of this social right in Brazil. Envisioned in the 1988 Federal Constitution, public security is one of the pillars for maintaining order, social peace, and the protection of individual and collective rights. Based on these principles, this research investigates the historical and structural challenges of the country's public security system and highlights the importance of its effective implementation through an integrated approach involving different levels of government and institutions. The methodology adopted is a qualitative bibliographic review, focusing on studies that discuss the evolution of the right to public security, the public policies implemented, and the measures to integrate civil society into security processes. The results identified that, despite institutional and legal advances, public security still faces obstacles in terms of coordination between security forces and the need for greater community involvement in security actions. The conclusion indicates that, as a fundamental right, the effectiveness of public security directly depends on the implementation of a strategic plan that articulates the various spheres of government and the active participation of society, thereby ensuring the protection of citizens' rights and promoting social well-being.

Keywords: Public Security. Fundamental Right. Social Right. Public Policies.

ANÁLISE DA EFICIÊNCIA DO PROTEINADOS DE BAIXO CONSUMO NA NUTRIÇÃO DE BOVINOS DE CORTE

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Supplementation of cattle on pasture is a practice widely adopted by cattle breeders seeking to increase productivity in beef cattle. Among the available strategies, the use of low-consumption protein products stands out as a technological alternative capable of intensifying production systems. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the use of low-intake proteins in the nutrition of beef cattle, considering their impacts on productive performance, especially on weight gain, and their viability as a supplementation strategy in pasture breeding systems. The study involved 60 non-castrated male cattle, aged between 12 and 15 months, of the Nellore breeds, distributed in two groups: supplementation with B25-4 (30 animals), standard farm diet (30 animals). The trial period lasted 120 days. The animals supplemented with B25-4 showed an average daily weight gain of 0.725 kg, while the control group obtained a gain of 0.475 kg. The 52.63% increase in the weight gain of the supplemented animals may be related to the greater nutrient intake provided by the protein. Thus, the adoption of advanced formulation proteins, such as B25-4, can be an effective strategy to increase productivity.

SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP IN CLINICAL NUTRITION: WHAT IS THE PRECEPTOR'S PERSPECTIVE?

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The Supervised Internship in Clinical Nutrition is a mandatory item for higher education in Nutrition. In this context, the role of the preceptor stands out, as an important and indispensable actor for the development of this curricular component. Studies that address preceptorship in health areas are common in the literature, but there are few studies that evaluate this theme in the area of nutrition. The objective of this study was to understand the perception of the preceptor in the internship in Clinical Nutrition of the Nutrition course of a public federal higher education university, carried out in two public hospitals. The research was exploratory in nature, using a qualitative approach. First, a questionnaire was applied to the preceptors who accompanied the internship and, subsequently, two focus groups were held. The thematic synthesis generated four comprehensive analytical themes: (1) a lack of clarity was observed in the conceptualization and delegation of the functions of the preceptor and the professor; (2) the relationship and dialogue between them were evaluated negatively; (3) the lack of training in preceptorship was pointed out as a limiting factor for the preceptor's performance during the internship, and (4) the presence of the intern in the workplace was considered an agent of positive change. It is believed that joint actions of continuing education and training between the service and the educational institution are important for the adequate development of the internship and in the training of future professionals.

IMPACTO DA INSUFICIÊNCIA CARDÍACA COM FRAÇÃO DE EJEÇÃO REDUZIDA NA QUALIDADE DE VIDA

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Heart failure (HF) can be defined as the inability of the heart to maintain a cardiac output proportional to the metabolic demand of the body or when it only does so at the expense of an increase in its filling pressures. The decrease in output may be due to impairment of systole or diastole or both, with one of them predominating, depending on the specific etiology (functional or structural changes in the heart) and the time of evolution, resulting in the nosological entity HF (signs and symptoms). Systolic dysfunction due to deficit in myocardial contractility is manifested by a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and diastolic dysfunction by ventricular filling failures due to reduced capacity to accommodate blood in the cavities, whether at rest or during physical activity. HF is a complex and heterogeneous syndrome, which makes both case identification and patient categorization challenging in epidemiological studies. LVEF is often considered a phenotypic marker of clinical value, as it reflects both the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and the likely response to treatment. The objective of this study is to report and understand the challenges that impact the quality of life of a patient with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The study methodology will be a clinical case with an exploratory literature review with qualitative approaches.

LASERTERAPIA NO TRATAMENTO DE HIPERSENSIBILIDADE DENTINÁRIA

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

RESUMO

A hipersensibilidade dentinária é uma condição que se manifesta através de dor aguda e transitória, resultante da exposição da dentina a estímulos químicos, mecânicos, osmóticos ou térmicos. Sua origem é multifatorial, sendo frequentemente associada a fatores como abrasão, erosão, recessão gengival e lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs). Nos últimos anos, a laserterapia emergiu como uma alternativa eficaz no tratamento dessa condição, destacando-se por sua capacidade de aliviar a dor e promover a regeneração tecidual. Os lasers de baixa potência exercem efeitos analgésicos e biomoduladores, favorecendo a formação de dentina terciária, enquanto os lasers de alta potência atuam no selamento dos túbulos dentinários, reduzindo a permeabilidade da dentina e, consequentemente, a sensibilidade. Com resultados clínicos promissores, a laserterapia está se consolidando como uma abordagem inovadora e minimamente invasiva para o manejo da hipersensibilidade dentinária. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a eficácia da laserterapia no tratamento da hipersensibilidade dentinária, analisando seu impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes e sua contribuição para o aprimoramento das práticas terapêuticas na odontologia.

EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA EM EDIFICAÇÕES: ESTRATÉGIAS E TECNOLOGIAS PARA REDUÇÃO DO CONSUMO ENERGÉTICO E SUSTENTABILIDADE

Elias Ferreira Nascimento, Patrick Peres Oliveira — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Energy efficiency in the civil construction sector is of great importance because this area is one of the largest consumers of energy and emitters of greenhouse gases, responsible for 30% to 40% of global energy use. Adopting sustainable practices in this sector is crucial to reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainability. In Brazil, standards such as NBR 15575 and programs such as PROCEL encourage energy efficiency, while certifications such as LEED and AQUA-HQE recognize buildings that adopt sustainable solutions. Passive strategies, such as the use of thermal materials and natural ventilation, and active strategies, such as automation systems and the integration of renewable energies, are essential to optimize the energy performance of buildings. Despite the advances, challenges such as high initial costs, lack of awareness, and lack of skilled labor still make it difficult to disseminate these practices. The study proposes the integration of public policies, investments in technical training and greater awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency to overcome these obstacles. In summary, energy efficiency in buildings is a strategic necessity, not only to reduce costs and energy consumption, but also to contribute to global sustainability, aligning with the goals of reducing emissions and promoting a low-carbon economy.

ANÁLISE DE SITUAÇÃO DA HANSENIASE NO PERIODO DE 2017 A 2022 NO MUNICIPIO DE TEÓFILO OTONI

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Abstract

Leprosy is an infectious and chronic disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium lepraeou Hansen. It compromises the skin, mucous membranes and peripheral nervous system. The severity of the disease is not only assessed by the number of existing patients, or by its contagiousness, but by the disabilities it produces, psychosocial problems and the long duration of treatment. Since ancient times, leprosy has been considered a contagious, mutilating and incurable disease, causing a prejudiced attitude of exclusion and discrimination towards its sufferer, normally an outcast in society. According to a study developed in 2012 by Paloma Benigno Morais (2012), the municipality of Teófilo Otoni - MG was considered endemic and few control actions were related. This article is research based on a cross-sectional and observational, qualitative and quantitative analysis of data provided by the Municipal Health Department with the aim of verifying whether the disease is expanding or heading towards suppression. The result of the research demonstrates that the city no longer has a super-endemic profile, as the number of cases identified was 0.057% of cases between 2017 and 27/09/2022. The dissemination of awareness and prevention campaigns are essential for controlling and monitoring the disease.

Keywords:Leprosy; Epidemiological Profile; Diagnosis; Treatment.

A educação científica desempenha um papel crucial no desenvolvimento de competências analíticas e de tomada de decisão. As instituições de ensino, por sua vez, exercem uma função social indispensável ao integrar os alunos em seu cotidiano, conectando suas experiências diárias aos conteúdos didáticos apresentados em sala de aula. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar três experiências distintas relacionadas a temáticas ambientais: Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental (AIA), Ambiental, Social e Governança (ESG) e a norma ISO 14001, aplicadas no âmbito da educação e do ensino. A pesquisa foi conduzida no município de Osasco-SP, e contou com a participação de duas escolas públicas e um colégio privado. Nas duas escolas públicas, foram elaborados e aplicados questionários de percepção, com o intuito de diagnosticar o conhecimento e a compreensão dos alunos acerca das temáticas ambientais em questão. No colégio privado, a avaliação concentrou-se no sistema de gestão ambiental da instituição. Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise documental detalhada dos relatórios do sistema, disponibilizados pela organização. Os resultados obtidos convergiram para um ponto fundamental: a necessidade de maior divulgação e aprofundamento das temáticas ambientais no espaço escolar. A análise dos questionários revelou que muitos alunos ainda possuem um conhecimento superficial sobre AIA, ESG e ISO 14001, o que evidencia a importância de incorporar esses temas de forma mais abrangente e aprofundada nos currículos escolares. Da mesma forma, a avaliação do sistema de gestão ambiental do colégio privado apontou para a necessidade de aprimorar a comunicação e a transparência das informações ambientais.

This study stems from a research project that investigates the significance of the toy library in the education of undergraduate pedagogy students, promoting meaningful experiences related to playfulness and child development. Our theoretical framework is based on authors such as Luckesi (2004), Cória-Sabini (2004), Santos (1997), and Kishimoto (2000), among others. The literature highlights the importance of the toy library in higher education, as it provides pedagogy students with playful experiences, allowing for a more reflective and practical training process. Thus, the toy library becomes an essential tool in preparing educators committed to meaningful and humanized pedagogical practices. The methodology adopted in this study combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches, employing bibliographic research techniques. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine how "toy libraries in universities" are addressed in theses and dissertations. For this purpose, the CAPES thesis and dissertation catalog was used, covering studies published between 1997 and 2023. Therefore, this study aims to describe and reflect on the relevance of the toy library in higher education and its influence on the training of future teachers.

MANAGEMENT AND ANIMAL WELFARE IN BEEF CATTLE FARMING IN BRAZIL: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Beef cattle farming is a fundamental sector of the Brazilian economy, standing out as one of the world's largest producers and exporters of beef. This literature review aims to analyze management practices and the importance of animal welfare in beef cattle production in Brazil, addressing their impacts on productivity and meat quality. The study highlights that animal welfare is directly related to zootechnical performance, with animals kept under appropriate conditions exhibiting better growth, lower incidence of diseases, and higher-quality meat. The main factors influencing welfare include nutritional, health, and reproductive management, as well as infrastructure conditions and thermal comfort. The review emphasizes the predominant production systems in Brazil: extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive, each with specific advantages and challenges. The extensive system, based on pastures, has lower costs but also lower productivity. In contrast, the intensive system, such as feedlot operations, requires greater investment but provides accelerated weight gain and carcass standardization. Nutritional management is one of the pillars of production, accounting for up to 90% of operational costs, with an emphasis on strategic supplementation and the use of rotational grazing to optimize nutrition. Additionally, the study addresses the importance of health and reproductive management, highlighting the need for disease prevention and the adoption of techniques such as fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) to improve reproductive efficiency. It concludes that integrating good management practices with investments in technology and technical training is essential to ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of Brazilian cattle farming. The review reinforces the need for policies that encourage the adoption of animal welfare protocols and the dissemination of knowledge among producers.

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This study aimed to analyze the control concepts present in scientific publications published between 2019 and 2024 in Portuguese so that their implications for the professional training of executive secretaries could be identified. The study's framework consisted of the management process theory, specifically the control process, its fourth and final stage so that the state-of-the-art knowledge produced and published in Portuguese could be understood. The conceptual bibliographic method was used, which consists of formulating research questions and their respective response patterns, followed by data collection in scientific databases, which were then organized in the form of frequency tables and diagrams representing the logical scheme of the attributes of the control process, ending with the writing of the responses sought for submission to the scientific community for consideration. The data collected were conceptual definitions contained in these publications from 2019 to 2024 in 10 studies that underwent semantic analyses to generate the findings. The results indicated the existence of four approaches to control (action, function, support, and process), six attributes that characterize the control process and five implications for the training of executive secretarial professionals: 1)leadership in the execution of organizational strategies, 2) the ability to influence people to lead them, 3) mastery over control devices and applications, 4) focus on the performance predicted in the plans and 5) the establishment of a safety environment to achieve organizational objectives. The study's findings contribute to improving the training of executive secretarial professionals by positioning them as support for managers in achieving organizational objectives based on mastery over the control process. The originality of this study lies in the balance between the conceptual delimitations of the control process, the logical scheme constructed with the attributes that characterize the control process, and the five implications for the training of executive secretarial professionals.

Additionally, these systems contribute to food security and environmental conservation by promoting biodiversity and reducing the degradation of natural resources. The research highlights the importance of public policy incentives and farmer training to expand the adoption of these practices. It is concluded that, despite the difficulties, organic and intercropped systems have great potential to make vegetable production more sustainable and economically viable.

AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE MILTON SANTOS PARA O CAMPO DA CIÊNCIA, TECNOLOGIA E SOCIEDADE (CTS)

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

O presente trabalho objetiva pensar a relação entre os valores empregados no campo da Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, ressaltando a necessidade de integrar a concepção filosófica deste campo na visão de Milton Santos e como o autor contribui para o desenvolvimento de tais concepções, considerando a ciência como uma forma de explicação, ou seja, uma representação da realidade (OMNÈS, 1996). Habitamos em um ambiente em que o campo da Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade empreendem práticas imprescindíveis na progressão histórica, geográfica e cultural dos países, mas é essencial questionar seus objetivos, principalmente o campo científico por elucidar o que acontece ao seu redor. Diversas pessoas julgam que tais progressos se tornam incontestáveis em relação aos benefícios que englobam, contudo, a conjuntura demonstra que nem todos os povos têm acesso justo a essas descobertas. Milton Santos evidenciou-se de modo categórico sobre a divisão entre desenvolvimento tecnológico e científico e a realidade social, principalmente em nações em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil. Por outro lado, a ciência engloba em si um vasto projeto de hegemonia: da natureza, de si mesma e do outro. Por isso, uma ciência só é plausível a partir de um novo comportamento diante da própria ciência e dos valores da sociedade construída sob seus valores éticos, morais e científicos. Este artigo explora parte do pensamento de Milton Santos sobre este tema, sublinhando a importância de reconsiderar os rumos da ciência no Brasil e no mundo como uma perspectiva mais inclusiva e socialmente engajada. Conclui-se que a herança de Milton Santos serve como um incentivo para uma análise mais aprofundada e reflexiva das metodologias que constituem a sociedade contemporânea. Suas pesquisas nos motivam a questionar e reconsiderar nossas atitudes, com o objetivo de construir um mundo mais equitativo e sustentável, levando em consideração as diversidades e as distinções que caracterizam a era atual.

PLAYFULNESS AS A MEANS OF LEARNING:

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Activities that involve active methodologies in the teaching and learning process represent a significant change in relation to the traditional education model. Active learning encourages greater interaction and participation of students. In this context, recreational activities are a way to attract and arouse the interest of students. Therefore, the objective of this work is to present a proposal for an educational game called “Million-dollar Chemistry” as a facilitator in teaching the discipline of Analytical Chemistry with an emphasis on Oxidation-Reduction Volumetry. The game was built by a team of Pharmacy students at the Universidade Federal do Pará, using accessible materials, such as: a box with help cards, a wall bracket with values ranging from R$500.00 to R$1,000.00, and 15 cards containing questions to be asked to the players. The game demonstrated that playfulness as a form of active methodology contributes to the teaching-learning process of students, allowing interaction between students and better retention of the content. Thus, the objective of the work of propagating knowledge in a creative, accessible and dynamic way, about Oxidation-Reduction Volumetry was successfully achieved.

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND PROPOSAL FOR CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION

Alexandre Jorge Gaia Cardoso, Daniel Nascimento-e-Silva — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Human resources management is a dynamic science area requiring periodic assessments to summarize what is known about the subject. Regular reviews bring a better understanding of organizations' operating logic, evolution, and data for developing more appropriate HR management practices. Thus, this study proposed a conceptual definition of human resources management based on scientific literature. The conceptual bibliographic method was used in its four stages to generate its findings: 1) problem formulation and response pattern, 2) data collection in the Google Scholar scientific base, 3) data organization based on semantic analysis, and 4 ) presentation of the answers sought. The results showed nine predominant terms of equivalence: process, approach, strategy, set, system, activity, contracting, progress, and art, and seventeen attributes, grouped into six semantic axes characterizing human resources management: management, employees, development, strategic, goals, and organization. The conclusion presents a conceptual proposal that human resources management can be defined as a strategic management process for developing employees to achieve personal and organizational goals. The study's contribution to science is the proposition of a conceptual definition with adequate boundaries of the scope of the phenomenon of human resources management beyond reductionist and simplistic approaches, which favors organizational practices.

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN BRAZIL: HISTORICAL OVERVIEW, TRANSFORMATIONS, AND THE ROLE OF FEDERAL INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This article conducts a literature review on the historical trajectory of professional education in Brazil, with an emphasis on the role of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology (IFs). The central objective is to analyze the historical panorama and transformations of vocational education in Brazil, highlighting the evolution of professional education and the role of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology in consolidating this educational modality. The methodology is based on a literature review, encompassing legislation, academic studies, and historical documents.The results show that Brazilian professional education has been marked by decisive moments, such as the creation of SENAI and SENAC (1940s), the technicist reform during the military regime (Law No. 5.692/71), and the redemocratization, which culminated in the integration of technical education with basic education through the LDB of 1996. Law No. 11.892/08, which established the IFs, represented a milestone by integrating technical training, undergraduate, and graduate education into a free and widespread model. However, challenges remain, such as the need for curriculum updates to meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the reduction of regional inequalities in access.It is concluded that IFs are fundamental for the democratization of professional education, but they require sustainable public policies that ensure funding, articulation with local productive arrangements, and a balance between humanistic and technicist education. The study reinforces the relevance of future research on the impact of IFs on regional socioeconomic development.

INFLUENCE OF THE LUNAR CYCLE ON THE BIRTH AND SEX OF FOALS

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The belief that the phases of the moon influence different aspects of animal and plant life is an ancient tradition that persists in popular culture. In the context of horse breeding, many breeders believe that the moon plays a significant role in the timing of the birth of foals. This article demonstrates the influence of the moon on the birth of 143 foals from 4 different stud farms in the Paraíba Valley region of the State of São Paulo, in the cities of Taubaté and Pindamonhangaba. It also demonstrates the influence of the moon on the sex of foals, analyzing evidence that supports or refutes this belief.

Analogy Between Learning Theories (Environmental, Innatist, and Interactionist) from the Perspective of Childhood with the Movie Matilda (1996)

Eykman Gama Fraga; Valeria Vieira dos Santos — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The aim of this article is to draw an analogy between learning theories based on the theorists Burrhus Frederic Skinner (1904-1990) with the environmentalist theory; Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) with the theory of innatism; Jean Piaget (1896-1980) and Lev Semenovich Vygotsky (1896-1934) with the theoretical conception of interactionism. Based on these theories, the article portrays the different conceptions of education presented in the film Matilda (1996), enabling an analogy. We know that families are different from one another, just as other figures responsible for the formation of every human being—parents, family, school, teachers, and society in general—have different perceptions both of the child and of childhood. Learning theories refer to ways of grasping the world, society, and human beings, providing us with a guide for what best adapts and consequently influences teaching and learning processes, such as environmentalism, which presents a directive pedagogy; innatism, which dictates a non-directive pedagogy; and interactionism, whose pedagogy is relational. Thus, the article seeks, through learning theories, to discuss how childhood is represented by different perceptions and educational practices, based on the examples presented by the characters in Matilda (1996), and to present the environmentalist, innatist, and interactionist conceptions, while reflecting on the concepts of childhood and infancies, with an emphasis on childhood as a social category. The article concludes with final considerations.

INTER-RELAÇÃO ENTRE DOENÇA PERIODONTAL E DOENÇA DE ALZHEIMER: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Population aging has been associated with an increased incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, characterized by the progressive decline of cognitive functions. Evidence suggests that systemic inflammatory processes play a role in its pathogenesis, highlighting periodontal disease (PD) as a potential risk factor. PD is an inflammatory infection that affects periodontal tissues, promoting the release of inflammatory mediators and the dissemination of pathogens. Studies indicate that this inflammatory response may influence both the onset and progression of AD. In this context, this study aims to investigate the relationship between PD and AD, synthesizing recent findings from the literature and discussing their possible health implications.

O OBJETIVO RESSOCIALIZADOR DA PENA FRENTE A VIOLAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS DO PRESO DENTRO DO SISTEMA CARCERÁRIO

Kananda Sianara Louzada Pereira, Alexandre Jacob — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

O tema abordado neste artigo são os impactos da violação dos direitos humanos dentro do sistema carcerário no processo de ressocialização do condenado a pena privativa de liberdade. A importância do tema se justifica frente a ideia de que os apenados um dia vão estar novamente inseridos na sociedade, e sendo assim, é melhor que estejam devidamente capacitados para este fim. O objetivo geral é analisar como tais violações influenciam no processo de ressocialização do preso. A pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva exploratória de abordagem qualitativa, empregando-se o procedimento bibliográfico, análise legislativa e documental. A hipótese levantada, que acaba se confirmando ao final da pesquisa, é que as medidas degradantes e extremas que muitas vezes são aplicadas aos presidiários, ao invés de trazerem a disciplina adequada, são impeditivas para que se alcance o caráter pedagógico da sanção penal.

Elenice Pereira Novais, Gislayne de Souza Vargas, Márcia Perini Valle — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This article is the result of a final work for a degree in Pedagogy, with the objective of analyzing the role of affection in the context of teaching and learning nowadays, based on the reports of teachers and the experiences of students in the 3rd year of Elementary School in a school in the municipal education network of Linhares-ES. The relationship between teacher and student is fundamental to promote meaningful learning, in which affection acts as an important ally, considering that the entire teaching and learning process must be permeated by affection, enhancing the engagement and development of students. From this perspective, we adopted as a methodological basis the qualitative research of a descriptive nature where the data were found through interviews with two classroom teachers from the same school. Soon after, a focus group was held with five students from the classes of the interviewed teachers. A field research was carried out in a school in the municipal education network of Linhares-ES. The results obtained showed that affection plays a crucial role in learning, as it strengthens the bond between teacher and student, creating an environment conducive to academic and emotional development. In addition, it was possible to observe that challenges such as lack of family support and emotional difficulties can impact school performance, reinforcing the need for a more empathetic and individualized approach to the educational process.

UNDERSTANDING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES PRESENT IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT ACCORDING TO GARDNER'S THEORY

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The present research aimed to review and analyze, in a narrative way, studies and publications that address the different multiple intelligences identified in the school environment, with the aim of understanding the types of intelligences. To this end, a bibliographic research of the narrative review type was developed, with a qualitative approach through the study of scientific articles and other academic works found on the search platform “Google Scholar” using the terms “Theory of Multiple Intelligences”. The analysis was carried out in an interpretative way. As a result, it was found that the theory of multiple intelligences argues that human intelligence is composed of different abilities, and not by a single general capacity. Among these are linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial and musical. Also noteworthy are the corporal-kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal. Each corresponds to different ways of learning, acting and expressing oneself. Naturalistic intelligence completes the group, focusing on the connection with nature. It is considered that studying multiple intelligences allows recognizing the individualities of students and expanding their ways of learning. With this, the school can offer a more intentional and comprehensive education.

Ricardo Silveira da Paixão, Aurélio Campos Maciel, Larissa Ferrari Laures — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The main objective of this study is to analyze how supplementary pension plans can help to complement retirement income for a portion of the population. The article begins with a brief historical overview of the emergence and development of Social Security in the world and in Brazil. At the national level, it highlights that the Social Security system is structured around the pillars of Health, Social Assistance, and Social Security. It addresses the pension regimes in Brazil and the main rules for granting retirement by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS), emphasizing the growing deficit of the General Social Security Regime (RGPS), caused by structural problems. It clarifies the main types of private pension plans available for individuals and presents simulations considering various age and income ranges, demonstrating that the earlier a person starts contributing to a supplementary pension plan, the greater the monthly income will be after the accumulation period.
