In the theoretical framework, central aspects of teacher training and professional development are based on important contemporary contributions. The qualitative research involved 40 subjects who responded to a questionnaire, in addition to five interviewees. Data analysis was conducted in light of the theory of Meaningful Cores, based on the assumptions of Socio-Historical Psychology. The results pointed to the following as the main contributions of the program: the experience of teaching in the school context, the role of supervising teachers as co-trainers, the articulation between theory and practice, and the relevance of collaborative learning. It was concluded that PIBID, in conjunction with the initial training received in undergraduate studies, enhances teacher training that is more consistent and aligned with the demands of the school environment.</p> André de Araújo Moraes, Virgínia Mara Próspero da Cunha Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/2956 Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Plural Representations of Youthful Masculinities: https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3493 <p>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.</p> Mauricio Nazarete Lopes, Paula Regina Costa Ribeiro , Juliana Ribeiro de Vargas Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3493 Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 THE ROLE OF TEACHERS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN EXTRA CLASS PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROJECTS AT IFSUL/PELOTAS CAMPUS https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3944 <p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>This article presents the analysis carried out in a master's research on the role of teachers responsible for extracurricular Physical Education activities in the comprehensive training of students at Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense - Pelotas. Having Dialectical Historical Materialism as a theoretical-methodological reference, the Discursive Textual Analysis was used to analyze the interviews conducted with three teachers in charge of extracurricular teaching projects in Physical Education. The dialectical movement has made it possible to state that the extracurricular projects enhance community-related experiences, help promote criticality and, by means of the bond provided, result in students' sense of belonging. Hence, the teacher’s role is fundamental for fostering these experiences, thus contributing to students’ comprehensive training.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> pedagogical practice; comprehensive training; extra class.</em></p> Carla Adriana Silva Silveira, Luciane Albernaz de Araujo Freitas, Fabiana Celente Montiel Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3944 Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Autist identification card https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3625 <p><em>This article aims to investigate the issuance of Identification Cards for People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (Ciptea), by the Federation Units, based on Federal Law No. 13,977, of January 8, 2020 (Romeo Mion Law), as well as the reflection of the provision of this document by the Municipalities, with the aim of analyzing the construction of statistical data on the number of people with autism in Brazil.

The development of women’s careers is a significant topic for psychologists in vocational and professional guidance, spanning from initial aspirations to progression in the job market. This article discusses vocational psychology education from a gender perspective, highlighting the contribution of academic women in the field of Vocational Psychology. An increasing importance of the gender perspective in understanding women’s vocational behavior was found. A psychologist can adopt a dynamic approach to address women’s challenges in career choice, combating gender stereotypes and highlighting examples of successful women. A degree in Psychology is important for disseminating knowledge in vocational and professional guidance, and should consider the specificities of women’s career development in its curriculum.</span></p> Mara Dantas Pereira Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3481 Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Integrative Pedagogical Practices: Research In Technical Courses Integrated In Mechatronics Of The Federal Network Located In The Southern Region Of The Country https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3909 <p>This study investigates integrative pedagogical practices in Professional and Technological Education through an exploratory research that analyzes the Pedagogical Projects of Integrated Technical Courses in Mechatronics offered by Federal Institutes in the southern region of Brazil, identifying six Integrated Technical Courses in Mechatronics. The analysis highlights elements that strengthen such practices, such as the implementation of Integrated Professional Practice strategies, integrative project curriculum components, and complementary activities. It is concluded that these practices encompass interdisciplinarity, contextualization, and integration, present in the studied Pedagogical Projects, revealing a variety of configurations, without a single or exclusive approach. This study emphasizes the educational intentionality of integrative pedagogical practice, which, by articulating different disciplines and areas of knowledge, provides a more critical and comprehensive human formation for students, aiming to enhance their ability to face the complex challenges of the world of work.</p> Richard Silva Martins, Nei Jairo Fonseca dos Santos Junior, Marcus Eduardo Maciel Ribeiro Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3909 Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Predictors of suicidal ideation in university health area students https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3171 <div> <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">Death by suicide is a public health problem and its consequences have reached worldwide proportions.

The PRISMA model was employed to conduct the review, considering papers published in journals and conference proceedings between 2013 and 2023, and indexed in the ACM Digital Library, IEEExplore, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Studies addressing competences in remote laboratories were included, while other document types, studies unrelated to the topic, or with irrelevant results to the research questions were excluded. The search in the databases was carried out in October 2023, yielding 953 documents, with 309 duplicates removed, and 609 documents removed during the screening process, adhering to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. From the 7 selected papers, 7 competences were identified across 3 distinct areas, linking their knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This study presents a set of competences related to remote laboratories, which can be used to further improve the development of these educational resources, as well as the pedagogical aspects of their application.

The central problem considers the discussion about inequalities in educational governance in a military context, specifically regarding civil teaching activities in the Humanities, to be emerging. The starting question is: what are the devices that legally support the materialization of governance of civil teaching activities in the barracks? Through a single case study anchored in the humanities, a corpus was developed based on theoretical, normative, documentary, and self-narrative sources. The analysis encompassed specialized literature, regulatory and legal policies, as well as decision-making processes related to teaching activities. The investigation verified that governance in the barracks defines the management of processes and people in a distinct way compared to civil governance. Dissonances were identified in teaching assignments, both in conceptual and normative aspects, when compared to assignments in civil public institutions and other military organizations. The divergent understandings about teaching assignments revealed they impact less on teaching autonomy than on scientific research, especially those associated with the humanities. The study points to the urgency of expanding the discussion about governance and management in the military context, contributing to a deeper understanding of the integration of civil teaching practices in the barracks. Thus, it seeks alignment between the educational legislation of federal higher education and that of the Brazilian Army, considering the ethical, professional, and humanized values defended in public life<u>.</u></span></p> Cristina Novikoff, Valéria Marques de Oliveira Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3167 Thu, 25 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Os Jogos do Instituto Federal do Paraná https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/2547 <p class="Thema-TextodoAbstract"><span lang="EN-US">The Games of the Federal Institute of Paraná (JIFPR) is a sporting event held between students from the various campuses of the Federal Institute of Paraná (IFPR), which has existed for over a decade.

We argue that as individuals become hybrids through the integration of technology into their daily lives, almost as an extension of their bodies, technology also plays a role in transforming and concealing long-standing racist practices in society. Thus, algorithmic racism operates by relegating Black cyborgs to processes that were already familiar before the hybridization of individuals and technology: discrimination, racism, and oppression. We also highlight the bibliography compiled from female theorists, many of whom are also Black, underscoring the need to bring attention to theoretical and critical discussions of cyborgs that are marginalized.</span></p> Cyntia Barbosa Oliveira, Marcus Vinicius Spolle Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3449 Thu, 25 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Educação Estética e Modelagem no Ensino de Ciências https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3149 <p class="Thema-Resumoemlnguaportuguesa-BR">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.

The qualitative approach research aims to investigate the implications of external assessments in the pedagogical work of Natural Science Teaching teachers to reflect the assessment of learning and the teaching-learning process. Thus, the data were obtained from a semi-structured interview with high school teachers from four public basic education schools in the city of Pelotas-RS. The content analysis indicated four categories, namely: i) external assessments and pedagogical practices in Science Teaching; ii) external assessments and Science Teaching; iii) external assessments and learning assessment; and, iv) external assessments and teachers. The results indicate that these assessments are ubiquitous in schools, serving to guide pedagogical work actions, and may lead to curricular reductionism.

A partir da pesquisa narrativa, Camila narra a sua história, carregada de experiências na família e fora dela, que colocaram em xeque a sexualidade e suas experiências não heterossexuais. Camila precisou relacionar-se com homens para ter certeza de sua identidade lésbica. Desde jovem, já se considerava diferente das outras meninas, gostava de usar roupas largas, camisetas e não blusas de tirinhas. Conta de suas idas e vindas entre cidades, dos relacionamentos e traições, de sua independência financeira, de suas conquistas e da vida profissional. Camila compartilha de seus sonhos, dos planos para um futuro próximo e de como membros de sua família ainda a interpelam para uma vida heterossexual.

The work brings the main characteristics of four historical moments of assessment: measurement phase, defined objectives, value judgment and negotiation. Many evaluative actions experienced in current school contexts, more specifically in science teaching, have been happening for many decades in the same way, and, as teachers today, we seek ways to break with these practices. At the end of this study, contrary to what we intended, doubts and anxieties remain; but now it was possible to identify ourselves as students, teachers and researchers in this evaluation process, aware of the genesis of assessment in science teaching, allowing us to reflect on our experiences and conventions. </span></p> Jessica Pavao Antoniassi, Edson José Wartha Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/2955 Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Active Methodologies in Object Oriented Programming Learning https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3492 <p><em>In the different levels of training in the area of Computing, introductory programming disciplines are present, including the object-oriented paradigm.

The aim of this study was to analyze how active methodologies can help in a better understanding of the object-oriented paradigm. The research was carried out in an exploratory way, in publications in the area, and through questionnaires applied in a discipline taught [omitted for review].

To do this, we carried out asynchronous online interviews with 24 Basic Education teachers, who participated in lives. With the analyses, we interpret that the lives promoted teachers' interest in their professional development, reflection on their teaching practice, the construction of their teaching identity and pedagogical dissemination to their peers. Among the unfavorable aspects, the commitment to the collective nature of continuing education was highlighted, which is limited in the live format. Finally, we understand that live broadcasts will continue beyond the social distancing requirements imposed by the coronavirus.

According to Foulcauldian studies, sexuality defines us as subjects and delineates us in our subjectivity (ies). The aim is to carry out a bibliographic study of dissertations, theses, and scientific articles from eight databases (PUC, SP; UFSCar; UNESP; USP; UNICAMP; SCIELO; CAPES and OASISBR), from 2011 to 2023, to verify how the constitution of deaf women and their relationship with sexuality is treated. The study is bibliographic, documental, qualitative, and based on the analysis of Foucauldian discourse from the third domain called genealogy of ethics. The review showed the scarcity of studies on sexuality and their need for more inclusive education.</p> Lidiane Augusta Ferrari Botteon, Maria Regina Momesso Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3788 Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Covid-19 e and the difficulties faced by students in integrated High school during social isolation https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3962 <p><em>COVID-19, a disease caused by the new coronavirus is a respiratory infection of high transmissibility that can evolve from mild to severe cases, with the possibility of death. It has been considered a public health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). Because of COVID-19, preventive sanitary control regulations, including social isolation, became mandatory. In the educational field, onsite lessons became remote. Because of that, a psychological impact on students during the pandemic was observed in the school environment. The effects could still be observed after the end of lockdown. Thus, this study aimed at investigating the impact of the return of onsite activities on the mental health of students in the second year of Integrated High School (EMI), at a federal institution in Piauí. It is a field research of qualitative character, descriptive and explanatory nature, developed by means of semi-structured interviews, with the participation of 10 students from Integrated High School. The study took place during the Program for Post-Graduation in Professional and Technological Education (PROFEPT). The technique used for data analysis was based on Bardin’s model (1977). Results indicated, among other things, that the period of social isolation really aggravated the mental suffering of the participants and the return to onsite activities proved an adaptative challenge for these students. Researchers concluded that this period of pandemic caused plenty of learning difficulty for students in remote education, which reveals the importance of discussing mental health at schools.</em></p> Emanoela Moreira Maciel, Catarina Angélica Carvalho Perreira Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3962 Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) and the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC): https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3273 <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">Brazil has experienced, in the last 20 years, pedagogical proposals that involved, from the PCN (BRASIL, 1997) to the BNCC (BRASIL, 2017).

This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, through content analysis. To obtain the data, an electronic questionnaire was applied following the Likert scale model. The responses of 10 teachers from three municipal schools in Fortaleza-Ceará were analyzed. The analyzes show that the teachers know the PCN (BRASIL, 1997) of Mathematics and emphasize that the document contributed to their pedagogical practice. About the BNCC (BRASIL, 2017), the teachers report that they learned about the document during continuing education and use it in the preparation of the lesson plan. It is concluded that the PCN (BRASIL, 1997), as a guiding document, played an important role during the last two decades, in curricular orientation.

Narrative qualitative research was used to analyze the accounts of eight beginning professors at a federal public university in Brazil. The data was organized into three categories of analysis: institutional culture and interactions with colleagues; student interactions and profiles; and coping or escape strategies. Institutional culture was perceived as an influential element in teachers' daily lives. Interactions with students show the democratization of academic access in recent years. The development of strategies to deal with and/or escape from adverse or conflicting situations was reported by teachers, including resilience. The conclusion is that the first years of teaching are a period of survival and discovery.

This study developed a predictive model to classify patients by Relative Risk, which can be employed as a scoring system. It is a retrospective cohort study using data from patients admitted to the National Institute for Infectious Diseases "Lazzaro Spallanzani" (Italy) between January 29 and March 28, 2020. Cox Proportional Hazards models were created for patient admission (n = 218) and for the late stage of the disease (n = 385). The models were validated through Machine Learning and tested for violations of Cox assumptions and statistical power. Coefficients were extracted, and equations were derived to calculate the Relative Risk. For Early Stage Relative Risk (ERR), the following variables were used: Age Hazard Ratio (HR): 1.05 [95% CI: 1.02 - 1.08], RDW-SD (HR): 1.08 [95% CI, 1.02 - 1.14], Lymphopenia (HR): 3.23 [95% CI, 1.32 - 7.95], and Obesity (HR): 2.88 [95% CI, 1.08 - 7.69].

The method was based on the estimation of anthropogenic emissions through simulation in the GREET2.7 Module, where the life cycle of vehicles with a Body developed in new-generation steels (New BIW), which have greater mechanical strength, was compared to BIW in currently used steels (Current BIW), which have lower mechanical strength, aiming to reduce vehicle mass and its respective emissions. As a result, a 2.65% reduction in vehicle mass was obtained, which resulted in a reduction of 0.11 tons of greenhouse gases. Just as, in the comparison of simulated emissions, between the current BIW and the new one, there is a reduction in total GHG emissions of 2.8% during the life cycle of the materials, of 3.6% during the life cycle of the Body of vehicles (BIW, interior, exterior and windows), 2.04% over the complete life cycle of vehicles and 0.78 ℓ/100 km of consumption. The conclusions show that the mass reduction of vehicles developed in new generation steels (New BIW) provides a significant change with regard to anthropogenic emissions, mainly in the vehicle use phase, due to the reduction in the burning of fossil fuels and the study provides an important decision-maker regarding the mitigation of global warming, as it is essential to recognize that motor vehicles are significant air polluters.</p> Cássio Aurélio Suski, Renan Rosa Ferreira Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3565 Wed, 08 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 A qualidade do vinho catarinense https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3743 <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">The wine industry transforms grapes into wine and uses different tools for controlling the process and producing wines with quality. The aim of this research was to identify the quality process control used by wineries from Santa Catarina - Brazil, and correlated them with the perception of quality identified by the consumers of catarinense wines. Qualitative research was carried out using an online questionnaire including the free word association technique. The results indicated that the Santa Catarina wineries participating in the research (n=39) preferentially use Good Manufacturing Practices as a quality tool, and more frequently associated words linked to process dimensions (36.36% ) and sensory attributes (26.36%) to define wine quality. For consumers of wine from Santa Catarina, quality was most frequently associated with the dimension of sensory attributes (69.3%) and then with terms related to the product, such as visual identity and product. It is observed that the wine industry and consumers are consistent regarding the importance of sensory aspects in the perception of quality of a wine from Santa Catarina. On the other hand, this study demonstrates important gaps corresponding to wine consumption and production habits in Santa Catarina, as aspects such as quality and sustainability were poorly correlated. Thus, the data from this research will help in the development of the wine sector in Santa Catarina, supporting industries in improving their processes with a focus on the quality and positioning of their products.</span></p> Luindson da Cruz de Carvalho, Ana Carolina Moura de Sena Aquino , Carolina Pretto Panceri Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3743 Thu, 02 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Dados em geotecnologia eólica https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/2553 <p lang="en-US" align="justify"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Data in wind geotechnology are very useful for characterizing specific parameters for ventilation.

It is expected that the teaching unit will increasingly cover the mobilization of different records, seeking relationships between mathematical concepts/content in the face of consumption situations in the environment of young people and adults with the aim of simulating and provoking reflective aspects in the process of financial deliberation .</span></p> Elis Puntel, Vaneza De Carli Tibulo Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3498 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Utilizando a Computação Tangível como estratégia para facilitar o Ensino e Aprendizagem de Lógica de Programação https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3718 <p class="Thema-Resumoemlnguaportuguesa-BR">As disciplinas iniciais de algoritmos e lógica de programação nos cursos de Computação frequentemente se tornam um desafio para os estudantes. A falta de familiaridade com o pensamento computacional pode ser um fator significativo, levando, em muitos casos, à reprovação ou até mesmo ao abandono do curso. Outro obstáculo é a escassez de acesso a equipamentos, como <em>smartphones</em> ou computadores, para estudos extraclasse. Diante disso, é necessário que os professores adotem metodologias que rompam com o formato de aula tradicional, possibilitando avanços no processo de aprendizagem. Desse modo, o presente texto resulta de um processo de ensino e aprendizagem em que foi desenvolvida e aplicada uma ferramenta educacional tangível em uma turma do curso de Desenvolvedor Mobile: peças de quebra-cabeça impressas em uma impressora 3D para o ensino de algoritmos e lógica de programação. Os resultados demonstram-se promissores, pois mais da metade da turma obteve nota superior a seis, nas avaliações que envolveram esses conhecimentos e aproximadamente 80% demonstraram compreensão dos conceitos básicos de algoritmos após a realização da atividade.</p> Giani Augusto Braga, Anubis Graciela de Moraes Rossetto Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3718 Mon, 06 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Elaborating a Vehicular Emission Inventory for the Municipality of Pelotas (RS) https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3577 <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">This work aimed to elaborate an inventory of vehicular emissions for the municipality of Pelotas (RS). The research followed the bottom-up method of the São Paulo State Environmental Company (CETESB), considering the particular aspects of the city. The study determined the following emissions for 2022: 1341.19 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 1244.05 tons of nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x</sub>), 307.01 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 37.05 tons of particulate matter (PM), 15.81 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO<sub>2</sub>), and, finally, 480.53 Gg of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO<sub>2</sub>e). Furthermore, Pelotas has higher per capita emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases compared to some metropolitan regions, including São Paulo. This result suggests that Pelotas’ emissions are intense. However, in contrast to the last inventory, the Pelotas’ emissions have decreased, mainly due to the renovation of the vehicular fleet that occurred in the same period. Therefore, despite the observed improvements, actions must still be taken in order to reduce the intensity of vehicular emissions in Pelotas.</span></p> Jeferson Peres Gomes, Willian Cézar Nadaleti Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3577 Mon, 20 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Influence of multiple water uses on an cross-border watershed in South America https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3429 <p>Knowing water behavior of water, such as flow and level in a watershed is extremely important to manage its multiple uses adequately. One of the models that has been highlighted by several studies and strategies to diagnose and understand hydrological processes and, consequently, define multiple water uses, is the Large Basin Model (MGB). The Mirim-São Gonçalo watershed (MSGW), which is a cross-border basin that stretches over the extreme south of Brazil and northeastern Uruguay, has significant environmental, economic, political and social importance to the population that lives there. This study aims at applying the distributed MGB to the MSGW to describe hydrodynamic processes and fluctuation resulting from water levels by considering input and output in the system, natural and anthropic ones, based on the Water Exploitation Index (WEI) and the Water Commitment Index (WCI). Results show that the adapted MGB enabled to simulate hydrological-hydrodynamic characteristics in the MSGW when information on winds were inserted. Results of the Brazilian part of the basin were better due to the distribution of input data. Regarding multiple uses, both the WCI and the WEI clearly show that the Uruguayan part of the basin is in a comfortable situation, in contrast with the Brazilian part, which needs special and criterial care since its situation is more critical.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> Lukas dos Santos Boeira, Gilberto Loguercio Collares, Gabriel Borges dos Santos, Thais Magalhães Possa, Viviane Santos Silva Terra Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3429 Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Pathological manifestations caused by humidity https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3047 <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">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.</span></p> Jeandson Willck Nogueira de Macedo Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3047 Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Variabilidade espacial da qualidade da água do Canal São Gonçalo em períodos de alta e baixa pluviosidade: avaliação de dados pretéritos utilizando estatística multivariada. https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3618 <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">The aim of this research was access the water quality of the São Gonçalo Channel.

Thus, the aim of this study was to identify which production site, based on temperature and rainfall, provided Urochloa decumbens seeds with better physiological quality. Seeds from 15 production fields allocated in four states were harvested and taken to the seed analysis laboratory, temperature and precipitation informations were obtained from these locations. The tests made were water content, germination, dormant seeds, and tests of vigor: emergence, first count of seedling emergence in sand, seedling length and seedling emergence in the field. Univariate analysis was used to compare the means of treatments by the Scott Knott test, at 5% probability and to discriminate the environmental factors that influenced the quality parameters, multivariate statistical analysis was applied through Principal Component Analysis. The batch of seeds that obtained the best results for physiological quality came from the production field of Cássia dos Coqueiros – SP.</p> Ana Sara Vieira Barbosa; Givanildo Zildo da Silva; Cibele Chalita Martins, Tatiane Sanches Jeromini, Nathália de Souza Paulino Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3847 Thu, 23 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Natural regeneration as a technique for restoring an area after bauxite mining, Minas Gerais, Southeast Brazil https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3568 <p>The objective of this study was to evaluate the floristic composition, phytosociological parameters, and chemical attributes of the soil to assess the efficiency of exclusive natural regeneration for forest restoration in an area after 6 years of bauxite mining. The forest inventory was conducted for all individuals with a Circumference at Breast Height (CBH) ≥ 10 cm, and phytosociological parameters were analyzed using Fitopac 2.1 software. The area showed dominance of early succession species (pioneers and early secondary). The study revealed a low floristic diversity (H’=1.374) as well as equitability (J’=0.48), with the dominance of the genus <em>Vernonanthura</em>. The natural regeneration technique has proven to be efficient in soil coverage and has contributed to the recovery of soil attributes such as organic matter, soil pH, sum of bases, cation exchange capacity, total-N, and an increase in nutrients (K, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn). To enhance floristic diversity and expedite the restoration process in this area, we recommend controlling invasive grasses, enriching the area by planting seedlings of native species from more advanced succession stages, and employing nucleation techniques.</p> Diego Balestrin, Sebastião Venâncio Martins, Wesley da Silva Fonseca Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3568 Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Canonical correlations for radish (Raphanus sativus l.)

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.</em></p> Tiago Pedó, Tiago Zanatta Aumonde, Geison Rodrigo Aisenberg, Maicon Nardino, Vinícius Jardel Szareki, Ivan Ricardo Carvalho, Francine Lautenchleger, Cristina Rossetti, Lilian Vanussa Madruga de Tunes, Velci Queiróz de Souza, Willian Silva Barros, Francisco Amaral Villela Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3799 Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 JOURNEY OF (NON)HEROES IN PONCIÁ VICÊNCIO, BY CONCEIÇÃO EVARISTO https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3989 <div> <p class="ThemaAbstractemlnguainglesa"><span lang="EN-US">Aimed at the identity construction of Brazilian black women, we seek to understand, in the book Ponciá Vicêncio (2003), by Conceição Evaristo, whether, as a literary product, a protagonist was constructed that fits Joseph Campbell's theory of the hero's journey. The reflections on Ponciá's identity suggest intersections between the concept of hero as understood in literature, even if displacements and adjustments are necessary when confronted with Campbell's theory, bringing a new perspective to the narrative. Writings by contemporary thinkers are used to create a dialogue for a better understanding of the aspects analyzed in Evaristo's narrative. Therefore, it is seen that not only does the novel unveil the expedient of (non)heroes, who present a trajectory as tireless fighters, but also that the author has built a character capable of engaging with the overlooked subjectivity of millions of women, showing clear contours to the neglected humanities.</span></p> </div> Ederson de Oliveira Cabral, Daniel Conte, Marcel Fernando da Silva Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Thema https://periodicos.ifsul.edu.br/index.php/thema/article/view/3989 Sun, 26 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000
