The main purpose of the project was to encourage the practice of outdoor sports in order to reduce school demotivation in high school. The methodology was divided into activities related to motivational, historical, technical aspects and curiosities about outdoor and adventure sports, orientation and navigation (notions of cartography and compass) and practical activities of hiking, mountain biking and canoeing. As a result, an academic impact can be seen related to the motivation of the students of the XXXXX and external partners in order to reduce the pressure under which young people are currently inserted and the possibility of relating the contents of the curricular units with sports activities and work activities, that is, a social impact of stimulating students in order to reduce depression, stress and school dropout.

Predictors of suicidal ideation in university health area students

2024-06-05T18:54:44+00:00

Death by suicide is a public health problem and its consequences have reached worldwide proportions. The present study aimed to identify the frequency and factors associated with suicidal ideation in university students in the health area. 246 students participated who answered an online form. The instruments used were a questionnaire with sociodemographic, clinical, academic and work data, academic stressors, Beck's Suicidal Ideation scale and the Perceived General Self-efficacy scale. The results, obtained through Multiple Linear Regression Analysis, indicated an explanatory model consisting of four variables: self-efficacy, thinking about dropping out of the course and the stressors economic costs related to the course and reconciling studies and family. Public and institutional health actions aimed at promoting and preventing the mental health of university students are suggested.

Between Memories and Resistance:

2024-07-06T04:20:38+00:00

This article proposes to analyze different theories about memory, from a critical and dialogical perspective, paying attention to, above all, the approaches of pioneering scholars on the subject, with the aim of discussing their concepts, crossed by different authors, in the attempt to discuss the dimension narrative of the memory of historical traumas. In this way, this work deals with the crossings between the practices of obliteration and manipulation of reminiscences of traumatic events of a historical dimension, through the uses and abuses of memory, seeking to understand that, just as the narrative dimension of memory contributes to silencing and exclusions in the public sphere, their contributions with regard especially to “counter-history”, can be taken as tools for social transformation in the present, through the rewriting of the past.

State of the Question about the teaching of Physics in the curricular component of Science in the final years of Elementary School

2025-09-20T15:30:08+00:00

The present research sought to investigate the State of the question regarding the teaching of Physics in the curricular component of Science in the final years of Elementary School (ES), through the discussions of the scientific community. The investigation took place through the analysis of 15 articles, based on the selection carried out in the Oasisbr search engine in the period 2001-2022. After reading and analysis, the articles were classified into three categories: Significant learning of physical concepts in the Science curricular component in the final years of ES; Didactic strategies for teaching Physics in the final years of ES: Possibilities based on the use of experimentation and/or technology; Didactic materials for teaching Physics in ES. From the analyzes and discussions, we realized that there are countless possibilities of materials and strategies that influence the teaching and learning process. In addition, the choices of strategies and materials are related to the search for meaningful learning. Furthermore, no studies were found about the perceptions of teachers who teach Science about the teaching of Physics, which becomes an emerging issue to be investigated.

Internationalization at home from a Global South perspective: a bibliometric study

2024-03-22T21:06:12+00:00

This research is part of the contemporary debates on the internationalization of basic and higher education and the challenges facing the transformations resulting from globalization. This study aimed to present a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications linked to the Web Of Science, SCOPUS, and ScIELO on the subject of internationalization at home (IH). We also investigated the gaps, possibilities, and trends in IH research in the global context at the same time as establishing links to the context of the Global South. The study method is qualitative, bibliometric, and exploratory, with the data represented in tables, graphs, and bibliometric maps. The following main findings stand out: 1) the significant increase in publications on IH; 2) the low representation of researchers from countries in the Global South, and, hence, 3) the lack of specific publications aimed at the geopolitical context of the Global South. In short, as a study subject, IH shows promise, indicating a broad field for further research in the context of the particularities of the emerging countries of the Global South.

The challenges for scientific literacy in the Society of Ignorance: report of discussions in a postgraduate course.

2024-11-29T15:17:40+00:00

This article aims to highlight the challenges of scientific literacy in basic education, through the synthesis, analysis and reflection of the themes addressed during a postgraduate course in the area of science education. To achieve this goal, we adopted a qualitative approach that integrates theoretical analysis, classroom discussions and reflections on practical experiences in the educational setting. The article explores some essential questions about the driven increase in ignorance and its ramifications for education and society, especially in the face of technological advances and the rapid spread of misinformation and disinformation on digital platforms. In this sense, based on class discussions, we identified some of the main challenges that science educators may face when working with scientific literacy in different school contexts. Finally, we suggest that being aware of these challenges can be a first step towards facing emerging problems, aiming to inspire other pedagogical actions that start from ignorance to produce knowledge.

Educação Estética e Modelagem no Ensino de Ciências

2024-07-07T22:06:23+00:00

O presente artigo descreve uma experiência vivenciada, por meio de uma proposta de ensino, por estudantes do 8º ano dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental sobre a temática da puberdade, utilizando como método de ensino a Modelagem na Educação Matemática e na Ciência. Teoricamente, analisa e discute o desenvolvimento e os resultados da proposta a partir da noção de estética, vista como uma forma de se conhecer e de se significar, considerando a Educação Estética como um meio de educação humanizadora. Por meio da Modelagem na Educação, instigados com a letra de uma música, os estudantes ilustraram um corpo humano em tamanho real e expressaram as mudanças físicas e emocionais ocorridas na etapa da puberdade, demonstrando, em seus modelos, senso estético voltado à sensibilidade. A partir da Estética, os estudantes relacionaram as questões emocionais e humanas com os conteúdos estudados envolvendo a temática da puberdade, o que contribuiu ao processo de se auto-conhecer e respeitar a si e ao outro. Com isso, foi possível perceber a importância da disseminação da Educação Estética na Educação Básica de forma transversalizada com os diferentes componentes curriculares, potencializando os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem e desenvolvendo a capacidade de sentir, de significar-se e de expressar-se livremente.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the actions of the Municipality of Umuarama/PR in conducting the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), in the pandemic period, resulting from Sars-CoV-2. Group 1, family farmers, reported losses resulting from the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, although they maintained deliveries to the PMC. Group 2, composed of students, exposed the importance of school meals and the impacts of remote teaching. Group 3, parents or guardians, reported that the PMC helped to maintain the families' diet, due to the decrease in income. Technical support and/or educational actions are needed to minimize observed food losses (Groups 1 and 3) and ensure food security.

Sound Atelier: proposal of a strategy based on STEAM Education for the learning of sound waves

2024-11-04T15:13:57+00:00

Although the study of sound waves is relevant, practical applications are still incipient considering the abstraction of the theme. This research aims to propose a didactic strategy for the teaching of sound waves through STEAM education, which resulted in a video to present the Sound Atelier - a collaborative learning environment for the pedagogical use of the 14-string musical instrument - a zither in puzzle format. In addition to this instrument, six textual artifacts were made – assembly manual, pedagogical itinerary and four learning dynamics. The video as an educational product was applied remotely with 23 public Basic Education teachers in the areas of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. As a result, we can say that the product met the expectations to present the potential of the Sound Atelier, making the artifacts associated with the didactic strategy viable and applicable, as evidenced by the responses of the participating professors.

Adolescent brazilians’ emotional responses to the covid-19 pandemic on digital media

2024-09-04T19:20:02+00:00

This article is part of a master’s thesis that investigated emotional responses of 9 Brazilian adolescents between 15 and 17 years old to news shared in digital media on the topic of Covid-19. This is a multiple case study with semi structured interviews that included publications related to the virus in order to identify and analyze participants emotional responses based on the theoretical work of Ekman, Damásio and Bellocchi. The results demonstrated sadness, surprise, and contempt. Anger, contentment, fear, and aversion were less frequently expressed. These emotions emerged in response to attitudes of persons who refused to comply with protective measures against Covid-19; rapid spread of the disease and its repercussions on digital media; and the number of cases reduction with in-person activities returning. This study may contribute to reflections for strategies that minimize the impacts of the post-pandemic context in adolescents lives and the digital media influence over them.

The The game as element of cultural heritage mediation

2023-08-09T17:19:19+00:00

Games have been used as teaching resources in different educational contexts. I have this perception, added to the fact that games are part of the relationships between humans, this writing seeks to share a proposal for the production of games as a mediation resource on the theme of cultural heritage in the school context. For this, allies such as IPHAN, Uizinga, Bauman, Funari and Pelegrini, Vigotsky, Hall, Brougère, among others were sought. For this production, it was based on a previous research that points out the lack of resources on the subject. With this proposal, it is expected that teachers can have support and motivation to seek and create different proposals on the local cultural heritage.

Plural Representations of Youthful Masculinities:

2024-09-04T19:56:00+00:00

In this article, we intent to problematize the dimensions of different musical styles and the (re)constitution of masculinities by young subjects (men). Thus, we aim to investigate representations of contemporary masculinities made visible by the narratives of seven young men who describe themselves as belonging to cultures related to the musical styles of Kpop, Rap and Rock. We understand culture as every manifestation of a human group, which means understanding different musical styles as cultural dimensions. As a methodological strategy, we used narrative interviews, which were carried out virtually, using tools that allowed video calls to be made. In the narratives of the young people, it was possible to see a distancing from representations of “traditional/hegemonic” masculinities and that sought other forms of plural/dissident/queer representations. As results, we highlight that, even the different musical styles mentioned make visible certain postures as representative of masculinity, young men (re)constitute meanings and (re)define, based on plurality, the exercise of masculinity.

Qualidade Nutricional em Refeições Transportadas no Município de Guarapuava – PR, Brasil

2024-11-26T13:33:07+00:00

With the increase in demand for meals outside the home and the growth of overweight people, the study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of transportable meals in the municipality of Guarapuava-PR. This is cross-sectional research conducted in three food production units (UPR). Data from three transportable meals were collected, for evaluation and comparison with the norms of the worker's feeding program (PAT) and the qualitative evaluation of the menu preparations (AQPC). It was found that in relation to the caloric value, all were above the recommended. In the macronutrient question only UPR3 was adequate, the others contained high lipid and protein value, occurring carbohydrate deficit. In the qualitative analysis, UPR3 obtained the best results. This emphasizes the need for a nutritionist to elaborate menus in food production units.

Políticas e práticas de saúde em enfermagem

2024-05-13T11:14:39+00:00

From the historical context of nursing education, an expansion of its space in the health area is observed, as it assumes an increasingly decisive and proactive role in identifying the population's care needs. This study proposes to discuss whether nursing plays a leading role in the construction and structuring of women's health policies. It was identified that nursing emerged occupying a supporting role and that it has been modifying its performance longitudinally. In Brazil, with regard to public policies on women's health, they focus on maternal care, still focused on reproductive health and its harms, which partially limits the role of nursing. However, with the creation of the SUS, the nurse becomes a key professional in providing prenatal care, due to his ability to act in health promotion and disease prevention strategies through humanized care, standing out for his technical competence. Finally, it is understood that nursing in advanced practices is a fruitful way to recognize the professional role of nurses by providing quality training and excellence in performance.

Discourses on the female body and sexuality expressed on a social network

2024-11-26T13:31:00+00:00

The objective of this study was to analyze and understand how the female body and sexuality are represented in a social network based on the investigation of a page for women. This is a documentary study in which the questions sent to a page dedicated to female sexuality, on the social network Instagram®, between May 2019 and March 2021 were analyzed. The main themes produced from the analysis of the questions were: feedback regarding the page, pornography, gender ideology, women's health, female taboos in society, doubts about products and shame in purchasing them, complaints and content suggestions. These themes reinforce the prohibitions represented by the woman's body and the expression of her sexuality. It is noteworthy that the articulation between health education and social networks is especially relevant, as it can provide scientifically based information on sexuality and sexual health, helping women to reflect and understand themes that are seen as taboo by society.

Canonical correlations for radish (Raphanus sativus l.) Growth variables

2025-03-20T21:44:28+00:00

The importance to evaluate the final yield of the crop. The objective of this work was to estimate the linear relationships among growth variables, to evaluate groups of shoot and root variables by analyzing canonical correlations and the genetic distance among the three radish cultivars. The experimental design was a randomized block design, organized in a factorial scheme: three (radish cultivars) x seven (collection times of plants 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31 days after sowing), arranged in four replicates. The plants were collected at regular intervals of three days, starting on the thirteenth day after sowing until the end of the growing cycle. The variables analyzed in each collection were: number of leaves, leaf area, transverse and longitudinal diameter, root length, shoot, root and total dry matter. The obtained data were submitted to a joint analysis, and the measured variables were submitted to linear correlation with the significance based on the t test at 1 and 5% of probability, this analysis had the intention of evidencing the trend of linear association for the variables and analysis of canonical correlations. Radish plants with larger leaf area demonstrate lower root development, based on the coefficient of canonical correlation. There were positive correlations among all the analyzed variables, especially the leaf area with dry matter, plant height and leaf number.

Modeling of rice production areas in southern Brazil, under extreme climate scenarios

2025-04-22T20:27:17+00:00

Rice is an important brazilian agricultural product, with the Rio Grande do Sul state being the largest national producer, furthermore, agriculture is an activity extremely dependent on climatic conditions. The objective of this work is to show how future climate change scenarios can directly affect rice production capacity in southern Brazil, using maximum entropy mathematical modeling for the prediction of areas favorable to the crop today and in two extreme scenarios, from 2021 to the year 2100. The data reveal that in any future scenario there is a projection of a reduction in productive areas and a fragmentation of these areas, which will require different strategies to face this effect of climate change on rice production in southern Brazil.

Soybean seed production of tolerant or stable cultivars and susceptible or responsive cultivars to phosphorus fertilization

2025-04-09T21:27:41+00:00

The objective of this work was to identify the responsible mechanisms for the superior performance of soybean seeds produced under high phosphorus availability. Seed production of cultivars DM 66i68 RSF IPRO (more tolerant or more stable) and SYN 15630 IPRO (more sensitive or responsive) was carried out under doses proportional to 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200% of the recommended P for an expectation yield of 5 t ha^-1 of grains. Phosphate fertilization promoted greater seedling growth, increased the yield components, the proportion between total shoot dry matter and grain production, in addition to increasing the concentration of minerals P, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn. Seeds produced under greater availability of phosphorus present less loss of solutes during imbibition in the tests of electrical conductivity and potassium leaching and produce seedlings with higher rates of emergence speed, dry matter, and leaf area of seedlings.

Pathological manifestations caused by humidity

2024-09-19T01:49:12+00:00

Moisture is one of the most aggressive agents in buildings, which can generate unscheduled costs and compromise the performance conditions and durability of buildings. Thus, the proper use of the waterproofing system is essential for the prevention of pathological manifestations caused by humidity, which encourages research in order to better understand the influence of humidity on the deterioration of the constituent systems of buildings as well as the main techniques used. to ensure the water tightness of buildings. In this perspective, the present case study aims to carry out a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the main pathological manifestations caused by humidity in a public building located in Natal-RN, with emphasis on the evaluation of symptoms, origins, diagnoses, prognoses, and therapies. The results indicated that the execution and design flaws were responsible for the emergence of more than 80% of the evidenced manifestations, such as stains, mold, bubbles, detachments, fissures, and cracks. The flaws in the rainwater drainage project and the absence of the waterproofing project were decisive for the partial demobilization of the waterproofing system, resulting in the appearance of several points of humidity in the internal area of the building.
