<pre id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta" dir="ltr" tabindex="-1" role="text" data-placeholder="Tradução" data-ved="2ahUKEwiF9bTC56qUAxUbIbkGHZhvFmIQ3ewLegQIDRAV" aria-label="Texto traduzido: Overcrowding in emergency services is a global problem that compromises the quality of care and patient safety, characterized by an imbalance between demand and the operational capacity of the units. In the Brazilian context, Emergency Care Units (UPAs) play a strategic role in the Emergency Care Network, but continue to face high demand for care. Factors such as insufficient hospital beds, fragility of primary care, and inappropriate use for low-complexity cases contribute to the overload of services, aggravated during seasonal periods marked by an increase in respiratory diseases, epidemics, and traumatic events. This is a narrative literature review, with a qualitative approach, carried out in the LILACS, SciELO, and MEDLINE databases, considering publications between 2009 and 2023 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Studies addressing overcrowding in emergency services were included and analyzed regarding the main associated factors and care organization strategies. Selection was carried out through reading titles, abstracts, and full texts, with subsequent extraction and descriptive analysis of the data. The results show that overcrowding has a multifactorial character, highlighting the prolonged stay of patients, failures in bed regulation, and seasonal increases in demand. This scenario negatively impacts waiting times, quality of care, and working conditions for healthcare teams. Coping strategies include risk classification, reorganization of the care flow (fast track), adoption of Lean Healthcare, and integration between levels of care. It is concluded that addressing overcrowding requires a systemic approach, planning based on epidemiological data, and strengthening of the healthcare network, especially during periods of higher seasonal demand.">Overcrowding in emergency services is a global problem that compromises the quality of care and patient safety, characterized by an imbalance between demand and the operational capacity of the units.

DISTANCE EDUCATION IN BRAZIL: THE DILEMMA BETWEEN RAPID EXPANSION, INEFFICIENT REGULATION AND OVERSIGHT
This thesis analyzes distance education (EAD) in Brazil from legal, social, pedagogical, and economic perspectives, highlighting the dilemma between its rapid expansion, normative regulation, and insufficient supervision. Based on bibliographical research, legislation, and official data, it investigates the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the consolidation of this modality and the challenges faced by the State in ensuring educational quality. The study shows that although distance education has expanded access to higher education and promoted social inclusion, its accelerated growth has led to phenomena such as the commodification of education, the precarization of teaching work, and regional inequality. The research also addresses the pedagogical implications of the lack of interactive methodologies and insufficient teacher training, factors that undermine meaningful learning. It concludes that distance education must be guided by strict regulation, technological investment, and institutional ethical commitment to fulfill its social and constitutional role of democratizing access to quality and equitable education.
MONETARY PENALTIES IN MILITARY DISCIPLINARY ADMINISTRATIVE LAW: AN ANALYSIS OF PROPORTIONALITY AND EFFICIENCY IN THE MILITARY POLICE OF PARANÁ
This article analyzes the legal viability and institutional adequacy of implementing pecuniary penalties within the scope of the Disciplinary Administrative Law of the Military Police of Paraná (PMPR). Given contemporary discussions regarding the creation of a specific disciplinary regulation for state military institutions, it questions whether the sanction of fines for minor or medium-severity offenses presents itself as a more effective alternative compared to the traditional model of restrictive penalties of liberty. The research adopts the deductive method, with a qualitative approach and a comparative bibliographic and normative analysis technique, based on the constitutional principles of efficiency, proportionality, and human dignity. The study examines the experience of other federative units that have already abolished administrative detentions or adopted pecuniary sanctions, evaluating the pedagogical character of the punishment and its impact on the continuity of overt police service. It concludes that the pecuniary penalty harmonizes disciplinary power with the precepts of the Democratic Rule of Law, ensuring the maintenance of active personnel while promoting the correction of conduct in a technical and objective manner.
METHODOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE FOR TEACHING THE SOLUTION OF QUADRATIC EQUATIONS WITH ONE UNKNOWN
This work arises from the identification of shortcomings in the process of teaching and learning Quadratic Equations, especially regarding the mastery of traditional solving methods by the agents of the teaching and learning process, namely teachers, students, and the entire observed community. Considering the current demands of education, characterized by new pedagogical challenges, a descriptive investigation was developed with the aim of presenting to all participants an alternative methodological technique for handling the resolution of Quadratic Equations with one unknown. The central problem is based on the limitation of diversified strategies that facilitate the understanding and application of this mathematical content. The presented work aims to offer the agents of teaching and learning a new problem-solving approach, allowing them greater autonomy in choosing the method that best suits them, in addition to contributing to the. Improvement of the teaching and learning process. The study is also based on previous works that address methods of solving and teaching Quadratic Equations, reinforcing the need for methodological innovation in the educational context.
BETWEEN NORM AND NEGLECT: STRUCTURAL, INSTITUTIONAL, AND PROFESSIONAL BARRIERS TO THE INTEGRATION OF NATIVE CAATINGA PHYTOTHERAPEUTICS INTO THE BRAZILIAN UNIFIED HEALTH SYSTEM
The National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices has formally existed since 2006, yet nearly two decades later the gap between regulation and clinical practice remains disconcerting. This integrative review investigated the barriers obstructing the incorporation of native Caatinga phytotherapeutics into the Brazilian Unified Health System, employing an Implementation Science framework in a multilevel perspective: macro, meso, micro, and contextual. A systematic search across five databases (VHL, SciELO, PubMed, LILACS, and Web of Science), conducted between October 2025 and March 2026, identified 1,336 records, of which 27 references were selected for qualitative synthesis following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Findings reveal that the implementation failure is not accidental: RENAME systematically privileges exotic species, Living Pharmacies operate fragmented and disconnected from medical prescription, health professionals receive insufficient training and sustain skepticism that appears more corporativist than scientific, and the semiarid region faces climate and social vulnerabilities that render any generic implementation unfeasible. More critically, this failure reproduces territorial and socioeconomic inequities that disproportionately affect poor rural populations in the Northeast, precisely those who most know and demand native medicinal plants. The study concludes that genuine PNPIC implementation requires simultaneous reconfiguration at multiple levels, with emphasis on participatory revision of RENAME, mandatory curriculum reform in health courses, permanent federal funding, and epistemic valorization of traditional sertanejo knowledge.
THE MYTHICAL-RELIGIOUS IN AMAZONIAN TALES: ANALYZING THE SHORT STORY “A FEITICEIRA” BY HERCULANO MARCOS INGLÊS DE SOUSA
“Contos Amazônicos”, the last work of Herculano Marcos Inglês de Sousa, published in 1893, marks the author's transition to paths beyond literature. In the short story “A Feiticeira”, Sousa explores the mystical and religious perceptions of the forest and river peoples, reflecting the complexity of local beliefs and myths. The narrative reveals how these elements intertwine, offering a rich view of the identity and traditions of Amazonian communities. This article aims to analyze the dimensions of the magical-religious in the short story “A Feiticeira” by Inglês de Sousa, to understand how the beliefs and religious practices of the riverside dwellers are represented and interact within the context of Amazonian literature. Methodologically, it was a bibliographic study, qualitative and exploratory in nature, through Bardin's (2016) Content Analysis, discussing the conflicts of the popular imagination of the Amazon. Thus, the short story “A Feiticeira” offers a valuable perspective on cultural and religious manifestations in the Amazon, enriching literature with fantastical elements that engage with reality, highlighting the interaction between the sacred and the profane, common in the imagetic identity of riverside traditions, illuminated from the ambivalent perspective of the witch Maria Mucoim and the delegate Antônio de Sousa.
This study addressed storytelling in education, emphasizing teacher education for planning, conducting, and mediating narratives through pedagogical questioning and formative feedback.

The general objective was to systematize theoretical-methodological foundations and guidelines for teacher education in storytelling, highlighting planning, conducting, and mediation through questions and formative feedback as structuring elements for learning. The methodology was a bibliographic study, based on surveying, selecting, and analyzing academic publications in the field, organized into thematic categories. In the development, foundations of storytelling as a didactic-pedagogical strategy were discussed, as well as key formative dimensions for narrative teaching, emphasizing mediation as the core for pedagogical effectiveness, supported by progressive questioning and guiding feedback. In the final considerations, it was found that the qualification of storytelling depended on intentional planning, consistent conducting, and especially on teacher mediation through questions and formative feedback, indicating the relevance of empirical studies to broaden understanding across different school contexts.
THE USE OF DIGITAL GAMES FOR LITERACY IN INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD).
The use of digital games is an effective strategy for the literacy development of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as it leverages characteristics such as a preference for visual stimuli, the need for predictability, and systematic learning. These games provide a structured environment with clear rules, immediate feedback, and opportunities for correction without social pressure, which supports attention, repetition, and the consolidation of learning. In addition, digital games allow for the development of specific skills, such as letter–sound correspondence, word formation, and language comprehension, provided they follow the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), with simple interfaces and adaptable features. In a practical study conducted through classroom observation, nine first-grade students with support levels 1 and 2 showed progress in the literacy process through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), developed after an initial assessment. For the interventions, platforms such as Kahoot! and Wordwall were used, promoting gamified, interactive, and personalized learning, increasing participation and supporting the development of reading and writing skills.
“I DON’T PLAY BECAUSE MY MOTHER COMES HOME TIRED”: AN ANALYSIS OF LEISURE AMONG CHILDREN FROM DIFFERENT SOCIOECONOMIC STRATA
This study aimed to understand how socioeconomic and educational contexts influence the perception and practice of leisure among children from a city in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. This exploratory study was conducted using a qualitative questionnaire. Participants were 5th-grade elementary school children enrolled in two public schools located in the same neighborhood but with distinct socioeconomic profiles. The analyses showed that children from the more advantaged social stratum have more time for interaction and play with their caregivers and a greater diversity of leisure experiences, which was not observed in the less advantaged social stratum. Leisure among children in greater social vulnerability is mediated by the use of smartphones and digital technologies, demonstrating lower critical awareness regarding their use.
THE STATE'S CIVIL LIABILITY IN CASES OF MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS
The significant increase in lawsuits involving negligence and medical malpractice within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and the private sector reveals the need for a deeper debate. Patients, increasingly aware of their rights, seek redress for damages suffered during care, hospitalization, or procedures performed in public hospitals. Given this reality, this study aimed to analyze the civil liability of the State in cases of medical negligence occurring in public hospitals, identifying its legal foundations, social implications, and impact on guaranteeing the fundamental right to health. It was based on a literature review, drawing on scientific articles, books, periodicals, jurisprudence, and current legislation. Data collection was carried out using databases such as SciELO, Google Scholar, and others, covering the period from 2020 to 2025. The results showed that civil liability in cases of medical negligence requires proof of three essential elements: culpable conduct, damage, and causal link. Case law analysis has shown that courts have adopted rigorous technical criteria to verify the occurrence of medical malpractice, mainly based on expert evidence. It was also found that, when a failure in the provision of healthcare services is proven, there may be joint liability between the medical professional and the public entity. It is concluded that the civil liability of the State plays an important role in guaranteeing the quality of public health services and protecting patients' rights, while at the same time requiring a careful analysis of the circumstances of each specific case to avoid undue liability.

The analysis showed that the new public procurement law introduced significant changes in contracting processes, emphasizing planning, risk management, and the strengthening of internal and external control mechanisms. In this context, public accounting assumes a strategic role, moving beyond a mere recording function to become an essential tool for decision-making, monitoring contract execution, and promoting transparency. It was also observed that the integration between administrative, legal, and accounting areas is fundamental to ensure efficiency in contract management and the proper allocation of public resources. Finally, it is concluded that public accounting plays a decisive role in strengthening public governance, being essential to ensure legality, efficiency, and accountability in the management of public resources.
PHYTOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT AND HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITIES OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT AND ESSENTIAL OIL OF CICHORIUM INTYBUS L. (CHICORY)
This study characterized the phytochemical profile and evaluated antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities of chicory (Cichorium intybus), comparing ethanolic extract and essential oil. Plant material was collected under standardized conditions, dried, and subjected to distinct extraction processes. The ethanolic extract was obtained by maceration in 70% ethanol, while the essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation. Chromatographic analyses (HPLC and GC-MS) identified polar compounds such as inulin and flavonoids, and volatile compounds such as terpenes and sesquiterpene lactones. Results showed that the ethanolic extract concentrates inulin and flavonoids, associated with prebiotic, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects, whereas the essential oil contains terpenes and sesquiterpene lactones, linked to anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. This complementarity confirms the plant’s therapeutic potential, validating its traditional use as a digestive tonic and liver protector. However, most evidence comes from preclinical studies, and clinical trials are required to consolidate efficacy and establish safe application protocols. The integration of traditional knowledge and modern science highlights chicory as a promising source of phytotherapeutics and a valuable resource for pharmacological applications.
PLANT ACTIVES AS AN ANTI-AGING STRATEGY IN COSMETICS
Skin aging is a natural biological process, influenced by intrinsic factors (such as genetics and age) and extrinsic factors (sun exposure, pollution, and oxidative stress), which promotes structural and functional changes in the skin, resulting in visible signs such as wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity. In the face of these challenges, interest in natural and effective cosmetic alternatives is growing, such as phytocosmetics, which use plant extracts rich in bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. This work aimed, in general, to analyze the effectiveness of natural extracts in cosmetics intended for the prevention and treatment of skin aging, highlighting their benefits, mechanisms of action, and advantages compared to conventional cosmetics. The research was developed through a literature review with a qualitative approach and descriptive nature, using SciELO and PubMed as databases, with the following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): cosmetics, plant extracts, skin aging, antioxidants, and skin aging, combined using the Boolean operators AND and OR. Scientific articles published in the period from 2020 to 2025, available in full, written in Portuguese and English, and related to the subject were included. Duplicate studies, publications that did not have a direct relationship with the topic, articles not freely available, dissertations, theses, and studies with evident methodological flaws were excluded. The results demonstrated that various plant extracts have antioxidant, photoprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties, capable of reducing oxidative stress, protecting against ultraviolet-induced damage, and preserving the dermal matrix. Furthermore, some studies showed stimulation of collagen synthesis, improvement in hydration, elasticity, and skin firmness, as well as reduction of wrinkles. Phytocosmetics also showed a good safety profile and skin tolerability, with lower irritant potential when compared to synthetic cosmetics. It is concluded that plant extracts represent an effective, safe, and promising alternative for the development of anti-aging formulations, although more clinical studies are still needed to consolidate the scientific evidence proving their effectiveness and safety in prolonged use.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND JOB SATISFACTION: AN ANALYSIS IN DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS
This article aimed to analyze the relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction in different organizational contexts. To this end, a quantitative method was adopted, obtained through a structured questionnaire. The sample consisted of 50 participants working in different sectors and organizations. The results showed that organizational culture exerts a direct influence on job satisfaction levels, especially in dimensions related to cooperation, respect, and interpersonal relationships. A positive trend in satisfaction levels was observed, but marked by a significant presence of neutral responses, indicating non-homogeneous perceptions among employees. These findings suggest that, although favorable organizational practices exist, their internalization is still partial, reflecting possible inconsistencies between institutional discourse and experiences lived in the work environment. It is concluded that strengthening organizational culture, combined with effective people management, communication, and leadership development practices, is fundamental for promoting higher levels of satisfaction and engagement. This study contributes by highlighting the importance of integrating culture and satisfaction in the organizational context, offering theoretical and practical support for contemporary management.

In this context, the role of nursing stands out in maintaining graft function, clinical surveillance, and the care of patients and their families. This study aimed to present the main nursing care practices during the postoperative period for transplant patients and to analyze their contribution to the prevention of complications and graft preservation. This is a qualitative literature review conducted through the analysis of scientific articles published between 2012 and 2025 in the SciELO and Google Scholar databases, using the keywords “Nursing,” “Organ Transplantation,” and “Postoperative.” The results show that the nursing role is multifaceted, involving hemodynamic monitoring, infection prevention, pain management, management of immunosuppressive therapy, and health education for patients and their families. Furthermore, humanized communication and emotional support contribute to greater treatment adherence and a reduction in complications. It is concluded that nursing plays an essential role in patient safety and the effectiveness of post-transplant care, being indispensable for maintaining quality of life and for the success of the procedure.
TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS OF DISTANCE LEARNING: ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING MEDIATED BY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
This study analyzes the assessment of learning mediated by digital technologies in the context of Distance Education, highlighting its conceptual bases, its modes of operation, and the pedagogical implications that emerge from technological mediation. The bibliographic research gathers current contributions on digital education and assessment practices, demonstrating how virtual environments broaden the possibilities for interpreting the learning process and allow for the interpretation of dimensions of learning that do not appear in traditional models. Challenges related to teacher training, technological infrastructure, and the clarity of assessment criteria are identified—elements that directly influence the quality of the educational experience and student engagement. However, the potential offered by digital resources is recognized, such as the diversification of learning evidence, the strengthening of continuous feedback, and the expansion of student autonomy, which consolidate a more sensitive, participatory, and appropriate assessment model for the contemporary demands of online education. The analysis indicates that digital assessment is an essential component for improving Distance Education and contributes to more qualified, coherent educational practices aligned with the digital culture scenario.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY AND DECOLONIAL EDUCATION: INTEGRATING TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE CAATINGA INTO GLOBAL HEALTH CURRICULA
The hegemony of the Western biomedical model in health curricula constitutes a systematic act of epistemic silencing, whose consequences fall disproportionately on populations that have historically built their therapeutic practices from territorially rooted knowledge. This article presents the results of an integrative literature review, conducted between October 2025 and March 2026, aimed at mapping scientific production on medicinal plants of the Caatinga, analyzing regulatory frameworks for access and benefit-sharing under the Nagoya Protocol, and proposing an Ethnopharmacological Transition Education Model (META) for global health curricula. Drawing on a final corpus of 36 studies, organized into three analytical axes, the review found: (i) the phytochemical and pharmacological richness of Caatinga species, proven in laboratory and ethnobotanical studies, remains structurally absent from curricula; (ii) the Nagoya Protocol, while necessary, produces paradoxical effects by disproportionately burdening researchers from the Global South; (iii) curricular decolonization in health is an urgent epistemological demand, still insufficiently operationalized. The META, proposed as an original contribution of this article, articulates five dimensions: recognition, integration, regulation, clinical practice, and epistemic advocacy. Results indicate that integrating ethnopharmacological knowledge of the Caatinga into health curricula is not merely a gesture of cultural justice, but a concrete strategy for pedagogical innovation with direct impact on collective health.
STRENGTHENING BLACK IDENTITY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION WITH THE SUPPORT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
This study analyzes the role of digital technologies in strengthening Black identity in early childhood education, considering pedagogical practices and the challenges related to promoting anti-racist education. The research is characterized as qualitative and descriptive in nature, developed through a bibliographic survey based on scientific articles, books, and official documents that address ethnic-racial relations, identity formation, and the use of technologies in the educational context. The analysis revealed that the construction of identity in childhood is strongly influenced by experiences lived in the school environment, with early childhood education being a strategic space for promoting the recognition and appreciation of diversity. Despite the existence of legal frameworks, such as Law No. 10.639/2003 and the guidelines of the National Common Curriculum Base, gaps are still observed in the implementation of pedagogical practices that value Black identity in a continuous and structured way. Regarding digital technologies, it was found that they broaden the possibilities of access to content, narratives, and cultural representations, and can contribute to more inclusive educational practices. However, their potential depends on pedagogical mediation and the teacher's intentionality, since the uncritical use of these tools can reproduce stereotypes and inequalities. It is concluded that strengthening Black identity in early childhood education requires the articulation between anti-racist pedagogical practices and the conscious use of digital technologies. Teacher training and the implementation of public policies are essential elements to guarantee the effectiveness of these actions and promote a more equitable and representative education.

FACIAL AND ORAL REHABILITATION IN WOMEN VICTIMS OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE: THE ROLE OF THE DENTIST AND FUNCTIONAL, AESTHETIC, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACTS
This article aimed to analyze the role of the dentist in the facial and oral rehabilitation of women victims of gender-based violence, with emphasis on the functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial impacts during the recovery process. This is a narrative literature review, with a qualitative and descriptive approach, conducted through a bibliographic survey in the SciELO and PubMed databases, including studies related to violence against women, craniofacial trauma, and dental rehabilitation. The results show that the facial region is frequently affected in episodes of aggression, resulting in functional impairments such as masticatory difficulties and speech alterations, as well as aesthetic damage that negatively impacts the victims’ self-esteem and identity. It was also observed that the dentist’s role in rehabilitation goes beyond anatomical restoration, significantly contributing to emotional recovery and social reintegration. It is concluded that dental practice should be guided by an ethical, humanized, and interdisciplinary approach, playing a fundamental role in promoting comprehensive care and restoring patients’ dignity.
FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH OF TEACHERS OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
This article analyzes the factors that impact the health of teachers who work with students with disabilities, considering the challenges imposed by inclusive education in the Brazilian school context. It is based on the understanding that, although inclusion represents progress in educational policies and human rights, its implementation still occurs amid structural, educational, and institutional limitations that overload teaching work. The study aims to understand how insufficient training, curriculum adaptation, the lack of pedagogical resources, limited specialized support, and precarious working conditions interfere with the physical and mental well-being of these professionals. This is a qualitative study of a bibliographic and descriptive nature, grounded in authors who discuss disability, teacher education, school inclusion, and teacher health. The results indicate that teachers, when taking on multiple responsibilities without adequate support, become more vulnerable to stress, emotional exhaustion, and illness. It is concluded that the effectiveness of inclusion depends not only on the access of students with disabilities to school, but also on public policies that ensure professional recognition, institutional support, and adequate working conditions, thus promoting both teacher health and the quality of the teaching and learning process in an inclusive environment.
SILENCE IN THE FACE OF CHILD SUFFERING: BETWEEN FEAR AND THE UNKNOWN
Child and adolescent suicide is a serious public health problem, marked by social taboos and denial that hinder its understanding in Brazil. The belief that childhood and adolescence are naturally protected from psychological suffering contributes to the invisibilization of emotional pain, underreporting, and delayed help-seeking. This silence acts as a factor that worsens mental distress. The aim of this study was to analyze child and adolescent suicide from a psychosocial perspective. This is a qualitative literature review based on national and international studies. The research is justified by the need to broaden the debate, overcoming reductionist views of suicide as an isolated act. The results indicate that suicidal behavior is multifactorial, associated with psychological suffering, violence, fragile social bonds, and lack of institutional support. Early warning signs are often ignored, leading to delayed access to care. The discussion shows that child suicide reveals collective failures in protection systems. Effective prevention strategies require intersectoral actions and strengthening of family, school, and community networks. It is concluded that addressing this issue requires breaking social silence, destigmatizing psychological suffering, and recognizing children and adolescents as rights-bearing individuals. More than preventing deaths, it is about promoting care, belonging, and dignity.
AI FOR TEACHERS: LEARNING ANALYSIS AND TEACHING DECISIONS

CAN CHATGPT PROVIDE RELIABLE DIETARY ADVICE? EVALUATION OF LLMS VIA CHAIN-OF-THOUGHT AND NUTRITIONAL LIMITATIONS IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for dietary prescription raises clinical safety concerns. This study compares the efficacy of ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek in generating hypocaloric plans for overweight Brazilian women. Using one-shot and chain-of-thought prompts, 150 meal plans were generated and nutritionally analyzed via TBCA. Results show energy variability: ChatGPT presented superior precision (<0.5% deviation), while the other models overestimated calories. Qualitatively, all models failed: saturated fat exceeded limits by over 200% (reaching 291% in DeepSeek), and systematic micronutrient inadequacies were observed, with iron reaching only 55% to 61% of the recommendations, alongside a calcium deficit. It is concluded that the qualitative inaccuracy of LLMs prevents their autonomous clinical use, requiring professional supervision.

POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION AND MATERNAL HEALTH: THE MODERATING ROLE OF PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern, with substantial impacts on women’s physical and mental health during the puerperal period. Evidence suggests that perceived social support may act as a protective factor; however, the nature of this relationship remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the association between postpartum depression, insomnia, mental health, physical health, and perceived social support, as well as to investigate the moderating role of perceived social support in the relationship between PPD and mental health. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 320 postpartum women attending obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinics. Validated instruments were used, including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The results showed a significant positive association between PPD and poorer physical health (r = 0.45; p < 0.001), and negative associations with insomnia (r = -0.24; p < 0.001) and perceived social support (r = -0.38; p < 0.001). Perceived social support also demonstrated a significant moderating effect on the relationship between PPD and mental health (β = 0.97; p = 0.01). These findings highlight the importance of perceived social support as a protective factor in mitigating the impact of postpartum depression on mental health.
“SAMBA IN THIS CAPITAL HAS NOT YET BEEN EXTINGUISHED” - QUILOMBOLA LEISURE, CITY AND BLACK LOVE IN SALVADOR
This article analyzes samba in Salvador, Bahia, during the first decades of the twentieth century, as a practice of quilombola leisure. Drawing on newspaper chronicles, press records, and works by Jorge Amado, it discusses how samba produced Black territories of freedom amid discourses of surveillance, moralization, and urban control. The central argument is that samba operated as an ancestral technology of collective existence, articulating body, territory, memory, care, joy, and love. In dialogue with Beatriz Nascimento, Lélia Gonzalez, Abdias Nascimento, and bell hooks, the article reads samba circles, popular festivities, hillsides, houses, streets, and terreiros as spaces of Black reterritorialization. Even when crossed by exoticism, moralism, and repression, the sources reveal practices of sociability, communal repair, and urban invention. Thus, samba is understood as a form of urban quilombismo, capable of reinventing time and space through presence, rhythm, and sharing.

THE SPECTACULARIZATION OF FEMALE CRIMINALITY: THE MEDIA'S INFLUENCE IN THE CASES OF SUZANE VON RICHTHOFEN AND ELIZE MATSUNAGA
This research analyzes the spectacularization of female criminality based on coverage of the cases of Suzane von Richthofen and Elize Matsunaga, investigating how the media contributed to the construction of the image of the female criminal in society.Grounded in critical and feminist criminology, the study examines how gender stereotypes such as 'cold woman', 'maternal monster', and femme fatale were mobilized by the press to construct sensationalist narratives that went beyond the informational field, influencing public opinion and undermining constitutional guarantees such as the presumption of innocence and the right to one's image. The study adopts a qualitative approach, with dialectical and deductive methods, using bibliographic and documentary review as data collection techniques. The analysis reveals that the differentiated media treatment between male and female perpetrators evidences a symbolic and punitive selectivity, in which female transgression is doubly penalized: legally and socially. It is concluded that media spectacularization serves as a mechanism of patriarchal social control, reinforcing gender norms and undermining the legitimacy of the democratic criminal justice system, making it urgent to develop more equitable and responsible journalistic and legal practices.
EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA AND ACCESSIBILITY IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION CONTEXTS
The present research investigates the role of educational multimedia in promoting accessibility within inclusive education contexts in the contemporary Brazilian scenario. The debate focuses on the need to organize pedagogical work through resources that eliminate sensory and cognitive barriers, ensuring everyone's right to knowledge. Through a qualitative approach, the technical and pedagogical conditions are analyzed so that the use of digital media results in the effective participation of students with disabilities or specific needs in regular education. The results indicate that assistive technology integrated with multimedia favors the development of autonomy when school planning respects the singularity of each subject. The investigation highlights that digital accessibility requires teacher training and infrastructure investments to overcome historical exclusion in the school environment. The reflections offered seek to subsidize the construction of democratic educational practices based on the ethics of welcoming and technical equity. The main authors used in this research are Gabriella (2023), Medeiros (2024) and Silva (2025).
CRIMINAL GOVERNANCE: THE SUBSTITUTION OF PUBLIC LEGALITY BY PRIVATE COERCION
This article analyzes how criminal governance in marginalized Brazilian territories challenges the state monopoly on violence and compromises the protection of fundamental rights. The adopted methodology consists of a qualitative, theoretical-bibliographical approach, structured by a narrative review of specialized literature and a deductive analysis of categories from State Theory, critical criminology, the sociology of power, and the doctrine of fundamental rights. The bibliographic corpus includes classical works on legitimacy, coercion, and legal effectiveness, as well as contemporary studies on criminal governance, armed domains, penal selectivity, governmentality, and hybrid normative orders. The results indicate that criminal governance does not represent mere disorder, but rather a competing order that partially replaces state functions and imposes its own normative regimes, such as the so-called crime tribunals, which compromise due process of law, individual liberty, and physical integrity. The article concludes that this phenomenon constitutes a structural affront to democratic citizenship, revealing the material failure of the State’s protective function. The stability produced by extralegal orders is precarious and functional to criminal interests, converting universal rights into contingent and territorially unequal expectations. This scenario demands the reconstruction of legitimate public authority as a condition for the effective protection of human dignity.
THE ROLE OF THE GUARDIANSHIP COUNCIL: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHALLENGES AND AUTONOMY OF THE GUARDIANSHIP COUNCIL AS A BODY GUARANTEEING THE RIGHTS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CHILD AND ADOLESCENT STATUTE (ECA)
This study addresses the role of the Guardianship Council within the context of the Child and Adolescent Rights Guarantee System, emphasizing the analysis of its political-administrative autonomy and the challenges that permeate its practical performance. Established by the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), the Guardianship Council is conceived as a permanent, autonomous, and non-jurisdictional body responsible for ensuring the fulfillment of children's and adolescents' rights. However, the effectiveness of its performance is conditioned by several structural, operational, and political factors that directly impact its autonomy and capacity for intervention. In this context, the objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between the political-administrative autonomy of the Guardianship Council and the practical and structural challenges faced by this body, in order to verify how this dynamic influences the effectiveness of its function as a guarantor of the rights foreseen in the Child and Adolescent Statute. Methodologically, a qualitative approach was adopted, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, based on bibliographic and documentary research, analyzing legislation, institutional guidelines, and recent academic productions on the subject. The results showed that, although the autonomy of the Tutelary Council is guaranteed in the normative plan, its implementation is frequently limited by factors such as insufficient resources, fragility in the articulation of the protection network, overload of demands, and political-administrative interference. It is concluded that the effectiveness of the Tutelary Council depends not only on its legal autonomy, but also on institutional strengthening, the expansion of integrated public policies, and the guarantee of adequate structural conditions for the full exercise of its duties.

DIGITAL ADULTIFICATION AND LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY: PREMATURE EXPOSURE OF CHILDREN AND DUTIES OF FAMILY AND STATE PROTECTION
This article analyzes the legal and normative evolution regarding the protection of children and adolescents in the Brazilian digital environment, highlighting the transition from pioneering jurisprudential precedents to structural legislative consolidations. It begins by examining the Special Appeal No. 1.783.269/MG of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), reported by Justice Antonio Carlos Ferreira, which established the understanding of the civil liability of application providers for relevant omission in maintaining harmful content to minors, waiving the need for a prior court order. Next, it examines the social and epidemiological context of online child abuse, exacerbated by the algorithmic architecture of platforms—a phenomenon evidenced by the public debate surrounding the commercial exploitation and adultization of minors. The study addresses the paradigm shift promoted by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in declaring the partial unconstitutionality of Article 19 of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (Marco Civil da Internet), establishing a tiered liability regime and the concept of "systemic failure" for highly serious crimes. Finally, it investigates the legislative response embodied in the creation of the National System for the Prevention of Cybernetic Pedophilia (Sinape) and the enactment of the Digital Statute of the Child and Adolescent (Law No. 15.211/2025). It concludes that judicial sensitivity was crucial to anticipate and guide the current state policy, replacing a reactive punitive model with a paradigm of proactive care, thereby reaffirming the principle of integral protection in the face of the informational society's complex challenges.

THE SEMIOTICS OF THE SEMIARID: DIGITAL NARRATIVES AND SOCIAL MEDIA AS CONTEXTUALIZED PEDAGOGICAL TOOLS IN RURAL EDUCATION
This article presents an integrative literature review aimed at investigating how amateur audiovisual production by young people from the Brazilian Semiarid region constitutes a form of critical multimodal literacy capable of subverting historically attributed stereotypes and functioning as a contextualized scientific investigation tool. The analytical corpus comprises 28 articles selected from six international and national databases, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, ProQuest, SciELO and Redalyc, with searches conducted between November 2025 and March 2026, following a protocol adapted from Whittemore and Knafl (2005) with PRISMA guidelines. Thematic analysis identified four structuring axes: multimodal literacy and social semiotics; digital narrative, identity and belonging; technology, engagement and scientific learning; and affectivity and epistemic agency. Results show that pedagogical practices integrating multimodal composition, digital storytelling and territorial knowledge promote significant shifts in the symbolic power relations that have historically subalternized rural subjects. From the integrative synthesis, the Situated Audiovisual Investigation (SAI) framework is proposed, structured around three dimensions: Territorial Curation, Multimodal Composition and Reflective Dissemination. It is concluded that the semiotics of territory can and should be mobilized as an emancipatory pedagogical device, with direct implications for teacher education, rural school curricula and public policies on contextualized education.
NURSE IN PRENATAL CARE FOR ADOLESCENT PREGNANT WOMEN: AN OVERVIEW FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PUBLICATIONS IN THE CURRENT DECADE
Ante la gravedad, la fragilidad y las variables socioeconómicas de un embarazo en la adolescencia, ¿cómo lidian los enfermeros con este grupo específico en la consulta prenatal? Esta cuestión movilizó el desarrollo de este artículo de revisión de las publicaciones científicas de la década actual comprendida entre 2016 y 2026. Tras comprender los estudios seleccionados por esta revisión, es evidente la falla del enfermero de Atención Primaria en asegurar la integralidad del cuidado dispensado al adolescente. Faltan vínculo, acogida, comunicación, adhesión a las estrategias existentes y práctica clínica eficaz. Se resalta la falta de preparación académica para manejar la atención prenatal del embarazo en la adolescencia. Es importante señalar el silencio científico sobre la realidad de las gestantes adolescentes de áreas rurales y ribereñas. Estas áreas merecen y necesitan ser aclaradas para que la realidad sea tomada en cuenta, discutida y transformada. No se discutió en ninguno de los artículos la participación del adolescente padre en la consulta prenatal. Los estudios que se preocupan en encontrar un enfoque más efectivo en el control prenatal de la gestante adolescente representan una esperanza de que la perspectiva negativa actual se transforme positivamente. El objetivo de revisar las publicaciones de los últimos diez años se mostró relevante para que el enfermero comprenda los desafíos clínicos del control prenatal en la adolescencia y se prepare con una práctica técnico-científica efectiva durante la formación académica y profesional.
RURAL EDUCATION AND SPECIALIZED EDUCATIONAL SERVICES (SES): AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
The article "Rural Education and Specialized Educational Services (SES): An Integrated Approach" examines the intersection of these two educational modalities in Brazil, with an emphasis on promoting truly inclusive education in rural contexts. Rural Education aims to value the cultural, social, and economic specificities of rural populations, offering a curriculum that respects and promotes local knowledge. On the other hand, SES is a teaching modality designed to meet the special educational needs of students with disabilities, global developmental disorders, or high abilities, ensuring their full access and participation in the school environment. The integration of these modalities, while necessary, faces considerable challenges, especially in multi-grade schools, where the diversity of ages and learning levels requires innovative and adaptive pedagogical approaches. This study uses a qualitative methodology, based on literature review and document analysis, to investigate the public policies and educational guidelines that guide the implementation of SES in rural schools. The results suggest an urgent need for continuous teacher training, specific curricular adaptations, and greater articulation between inclusion policies and pedagogical practices aimed at the rural context. It concludes that the effective application of SES in rural schools depends on collaborative strategies that consider the particularities of the rural environment and the individual needs of students, promoting inclusive, equitable education capable of contributing to the sustainable development of rural communities. Thus, the article reinforces the importance of contextualized and inclusive education, essential to ensuring the right to education for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic conditions or special educational needs.
ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: POSSIBILITIES AND CHALLENGES
Early Childhood Education constitutes a fundamental stage for the integral development of the child, demanding pedagogical approaches that respect their specificities and enhance their active participation in the educational process. This article analyzes the possibilities and challenges of implementing active methodologies in this educational segment, considering playfulness as a structuring axis of pedagogical practices. The investigation is configured as Bibliographic Research, based on Andrade (2020) and Cervo, Bervian and Silva (2019), and mobilizes authors such as Santos (2025), Lopes et al. (2024) and Cabral and Maciel (2022) to support the theoretical discussion. The study reveals that active methodologies, when articulated with play and experimentation, favor autonomy, creativity and interaction among children, although they face obstacles related to teacher training, material conditions and families' understanding of such proposals. The analysis demonstrates that playfulness, gamification and storytelling constitute viable strategies for Early Childhood Education, provided they are adapted to age characteristics and the institutional context. It is concluded that the implementation of these approaches requires continuous investment in professional qualification and reorganization of school spaces and times.
YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS IN THE WORKPLACE: AN APPROACH BETWEEN PEDAGOGICAL THEORY AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
This article aims to investigate how apprenticeship programs for young apprentices contribute to the comprehensive development of socio-emotional skills such as empathy, teamwork, resilience, and communication, by connecting pedagogical methodological theory with the work contexts experienced by young apprentices. This research is based on a bibliographical approach, through the analysis of scientific studies, dissertations, scientific articles, and national reports published between 2015 and 2025 that address the development of socio-emotional skills and vocational apprenticeship programs.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF DIABETES MELLITUS CARE IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE IN THE SÃO FRANCISCO VALLEY
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic pathology with high prevalence and significant impact on public health, characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from deficiencies in insulin secretion or action. The objective of this study was to investigate the epidemiological profile of DM care records in Primary Health Care in the municipalities of Petrolina (PE) and Juazeiro (BA), from 2020 to 2025, analyzing the variables of sex and age group. This is a descriptive, time-series epidemiological study with a quantitative approach, based on secondary data from the Health Information System for Primary Care (SISAB). A total of 96,970 care records were analyzed, with the majority registered in Petrolina (61.7%). Type 2 DM (ICD E11) was the most prevalent, with 68,610 records (70.7%), followed by type 1 (ICD E10), with 22,458 (23.2%), and unspecified type (ICD E14), with 5,902 (6.1%). A progressive growth in the volume of care was observed over the period in both locations. There was a predominance of the female sex (67.1%) and a higher concentration of cases in the age groups of 60 years or older (50.1%) and 19 to 59 years (45.3%). It is concluded that DM imposes a high care burden in the region, with a growth trend, highlighting the urgency of effective strategies in Primary Care focused on glycemic control and the prevention of complications.
HEALTHCARE DURING PREGNANCY AND THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD IN THE BRAZILIAN PRISON SYSTEM: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
This article aimed to compare the healthcare provided to pregnant and postpartum women in the Brazilian prison system with the care standards established by national and international normative guidelines on the subject. This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 recommendations. The guiding question was structured using the PICO acronym, focusing on pregnant and postpartum women (P), prison healthcare (I), comparison to normative guidelines (C), and maternal outcomes (O). The search was conducted in December 2025 in seven databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, LILACS, and SciELO), using terms indexed in MeSH. Twenty-three articles were selected for synthesis. The results showed that the profile of incarcerated women is homogeneous: young, with low levels of education, predominantly Black or mixed-race, and mainly detained for drug trafficking. Despite the robust legal framework, assistance is insufficient. Studies indicate that prenatal care is frequently inadequate, with late initiation and a number of consultations below the minimum recommended in up to 41% of cases. Data from SISDEPEN reveal irregular trajectories in nursery infrastructure and a critical shortage of gynecologists in the units. This highlights the gap between the guaranteed right and the care actually provided.

The findings highlight the need to strengthen immunization strategies, with emphasis on early vaccination, expansion of access, educational actions, and interventions directed toward groups with lower vaccination coverage, aiming to improve epidemiological indicators and reduce health inequalities.
WEATHER STATION AS A DIDACTIC RESOURCE IN GEOGRAPHY TEACHING: PRACTICES AND LEARNING WITH WEATHER SHEETS AND CLIMOGRAPHS
This study presents an experience report on the teaching of Climatology from a geographic perspective in Elementary Education, conducted at a municipal school in Brusque, Santa Catarina, with a focus on the use of an automatic weather station as a teaching resource. The proposal involved the collection, recording, and analysis of atmospheric data by students through weather observation sheets and Google Sheets, culminating in the creation of climograms and written reports. The practice allowed students to understand climatic variables temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, and cloud types in a contextualized manner, relating the phenomena to the local geographic space and their daily lives. The experience contributed to the development of digital, analytical, and textual skills, as well as socio-emotional abilities such as cooperation, persistence, and autonomy. Teacher mediation was fundamental in guiding the process, overcoming challenges related to the use of digital technologies, and ensuring student engagement. The study demonstrates that the integration of direct observation, data analysis, and digital tools promotes meaningful learning, articulating theory and practice, and reinforces the importance of active and contextualized methodologies in Geography education. The experience suggests that the use of weather stations can enhance student protagonism and strengthen the understanding of climatic phenomena in school contexts.
This study aimed to analyze, from a legal perspective, the measures adopted in Brazil for the prevention and combat of money laundering in the public sector. The research is characterized as qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory, based on bibliographic review and documentary analysis of legislation, doctrine, and case law from higher courts. The results showed that Law No. 9,613/1998, especially after the changes introduced by Law No. 12,683/2012, has become the main legal instrument in combating money laundering, expanding the scope of the criminal type and strengthening control and investigation mechanisms. It was also observed the integration with the Penal Code and complementary legislation, such as the Anti-Corruption Law and the Administrative Improbity Law, as well as the important role of the Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Supreme Court in consolidating the interpretation of the offense. It is concluded that combating money laundering in the public sector requires the joint action of preventive and repressive mechanisms, as well as strengthening control instruments and institutional cooperation.
TEMPORAL MUSCLE FLAP AS A RECONSTRUCTIVE ALTERNATIVE IN PATIENTS WITH CONTRAINDICATIONS TO FREE MICROSURGERY: AN INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
Reconstruction of maxillofacial defects after tumor resections represents a significant challenge in oral and maxillofacial surgery, especially in patients with contraindications to free microsurgery. In these cases, the temporalis muscle flap stands out as a reconstructive alternative due to its anatomical proximity, reliable vascularization, and lower surgical complexity. This study aimed to analyze the applicability of this technique in patients who are not candidates for microvascular reconstruction. The findings showed a high rate of tissue viability, good functional results in the separation between the oral and nasal cavities, improvement in speech and swallowing, and adequate coverage of defects involving the maxilla and palate. The main indications included elderly patients, those with significant systemic comorbidities, individuals with high anesthetic risk, and institutions with structural limitations for microsurgical procedures. The most frequently reported complications included aesthetic temporal depression, partial dehiscence, and transient limitation of mouth opening, generally managed conservatively. Despite volumetric limitations in extensive defects, the technique demonstrated predictable and satisfactory results in selected cases. In conclusion, the temporalis muscle flap remains a safe, effective, and current alternative, and should be considered a strategic option when free microsurgery is not feasible.

HIGHER EDUCATION AND EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: PERSPECTIVES ON THE GUARANTEE OF RIGHTS IN INTERNATIONAL NORMS
This study analyzes the guarantees of the right to education in higher education for persons with disabilities from the perspective of international human rights norms. Historically, access to this level of education has been marked by complex barriers and structural ableism which, supported by an exclusionary biomedical perspective, demands a meritocratic standard of performance and blames the individual for adaptation difficulties. To understand, within this scenario, how international human rights norms shape the conception of access to higher education for persons with disabilities and the perspective of guaranteeing the right to education in this educational level, qualitative documentary research was developed, involving a content analysis of seven fundamental international regulatory frameworks. The results highlight a paradigmatic shift from a biomedical and meritocratic view toward a biopsychosocial and human rights model grounded in dignity and equity. The analyzed documents, which hold high legislative relevance and interpretive authority in Brazil, reinforce that full access must concurrently encompass the dimensions of availability, accessibility, acceptability, adaptability, and accountability. This demands the implementation of actions to counter structural and institutional ableism and to minimize access difficulties arising from social, attitudinal, and pedagogical barriers. Consequently, it is necessary to move beyond mere superficial and segregating integration toward true educational inclusion, requiring flexibility and adaptation to student diversity. The study concludes by elaborating a legal-theoretical-ethical framework, asserting that the guarantee of rights in higher education transcends enrollment, requiring the elimination of institutional locks to ensure retention, learning, and full participation, aligning with the global principle of leaving no human being behind.

To this end, a retrospective documentary study was conducted, with a descriptive approach, using a qualitative method. The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic did not reduce the demand for healthcare services but led to a reorganization of the care network, with the creation of a specific emergency unit, ensuring the continuity of services in Basic Health Units. Thus, the study expands discussions on the role of the Family Health Program in contexts of crisis and socio-environmental vulnerability and contributes to the development of more equitable and territorially oriented strategies in public health management.
GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS SUPPORT FOR ACTIVE LEARNING: FOCUS ON THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM
The expansion of generative artificial intelligence has been reshaping social, communicational, and educational practices, producing significant impacts on the ways of teaching, learning, and organizing pedagogical experiences. In education, its presence intensifies debates on personalized learning, student authorship, teacher mediation, and the ethical use of digital technologies. This article analyzes the potential of generative artificial intelligence as support for active learning, with emphasis on the flipped classroom methodology. Methodologically, this is a qualitative, bibliographic, and analytical study based on recent literature on artificial intelligence in education, active methodologies, and digital culture. It is argued that generative tools can strengthen pre-class study stages, broaden access to personalized explanations, diversify teaching materials, and improve classroom time for collaborative practices, problem solving, and closer pedagogical support. The paper also discusses limitations related to cognitive superficiality, technological dependence, algorithmic bias, and redefinitions of school authorship. It concludes that the pedagogical value of artificial intelligence does not lie only in the tool itself, but in didactic intentionality, teacher education, and the development of critical and contextualized uses in Basic Education.
AI AND ENGAGEMENT DETECTION: ATTENTION AND PARTICIPATION (BENEFITS AND RISKS)
This study investigated the use of artificial intelligence to detect student engagement in digital educational environments, emphasizing attention and participation and considering benefits and risks. The problem was defined as understanding to what extent such use contributed to pedagogical practice without reinforcing surveillance, assessment distortions, and ethical risks related to monitoring. The general objective was to analyze the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence for engagement detection, discussing ethical and pedagogical limits to prevent the consolidation of surveillance practices in digital educational contexts. A bibliographic research methodology was adopted, with qualitative analysis of selected academic literature on education in the digital era, technologies, online assessment, and teacher education. In the development, the complexity of engagement and the inadequacy of reducing it to operational metrics were discussed, as well as the possibility of using indicators as support for teaching mediation when interpreted contextually and for formative purposes. Risks related to surveillance, privacy, bias, and the reconfiguration of assessment practices were also problematized. In the final considerations, it was concluded that AI-based engagement detection was potentially beneficial when used as complementary evidence to pedagogical judgment, with clear limits and transparency, but tended to reinforce control and assessment distortions when applied as an automatic mechanism for classification and evaluation, indicating the need for empirical studies to deepen the findings.
BLOCKCHAIN AS AN ATYPICAL MEANS OF PROOF IN CIVIL PROCEDURE
This article analyzes the legal viability of blockchain technology as a means of evidence in Brazilian civil procedure. The research stems from the observation that the national legal system presents significant regulatory gaps in the treatment of digital evidence, limiting itself to governing only certain aspects related to digital evidence. Blockchain, characterized by immutability, transparency, decentralization, and cryptographic security, emerges as a robust technological alternative to address these deficiencies. The central question investigated is whether blockchain can be admitted as a means of evidence in Brazilian civil procedure. The working hypothesis contends that its technical characteristics make it legally admissible as an atypical means of evidence, finding legal foundation in Article 369 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The general objective is to demonstrate its legal viability, unfolding into the following specific objectives: to analyze the normative foundation of evidentiary atypicality; to identify the technical characteristics of blockchain relevant to evidentiary law; and to examine its initial jurisprudential recognition. The deductive-analytical method is adopted, through bibliographical research, analysis of legal provisions, and examination of judicial decisions. The results reveal that Brazilian courts already recognize blockchain as a suitable instrument for preserving and authenticating digital evidence, indicating a trend of judicial acceptance that corroborates its viability as a natural evolution in contemporary evidentiary treatment.
AGING WELL IN TIMES OF CRISIS? INEQUALITY, GENDER, AND ACCESS TO SPORTS: AN ANALYSIS BETWEEN SOCIAL WORK AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Longevity, in contemporary discourse, is often associated with the adoption of healthy habits, such as regular physical exercise, a balanced diet, restorative sleep, and a series of pro-health protocols. However, this perspective tends to individualize a process that is profoundly determined by social, economic, and political conditions. By disregarding the reality of women in situations of poverty and violence, it becomes necessary to question to what extent such recommendations are, in fact, accessible for healthy aging. The insufficiency of public policies, income transfer programs, food security, and the guarantee of basic social rights imposes concrete limits on the possibility of aging with quality. In this context, practices such as sports and leisure, often treated as individual choices, reveal themselves as privileges socially distributed unequally. Thus, thinking about longevity requires shifting the focus from individual responsibility to the analysis of structural inequalities that condition access to the conditions necessary for a long and healthy life.
LAW 13.123/2015 AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: PATHWAYS TO THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF BRAZILIAN GENETIC HERITAGE
Brazil is considered one of the most targeted countries in the world, by companies and researchers, because of its rich biodiversity. With the Convention on Biological Diversity, during Eco-92, the discussions about the need to regulate the access to Brazilian biodiversity and also about the use of these resources had been enlarged. In addition, the protection and the access to associated traditional knowledge, and the share of benefits were discussed as well. All of this was consolidated with the publication and validity of Law 13.123, dated May 20, 2015. Thus, this work aims to investigate the use of Brazilian biodiversity based on Law 13.123/15, on economic, law and science and technology aspects. The research showed that Law 13.123/15 arises with the Amazonian Biodiversity protecting and preserving intention, limiting the access and the use of its genetic patrimony. However, this restriction was not favorable at all, such as national and foreign researchers who, since the validity of Law 13.123/15, have been limited to use and to access the Brazilian Biodiversity.
SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND PERIODONTITIS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW OF PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS AND POTENTIAL SHARED THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
The present article explored the immunopathogenic interface between Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Periodontitis, highlighting the sharing of inflammatory pathways and the implications of this interaction for clinical practice. This is a narrative literature review, with studies selected from the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, following eligibility criteria and synthesizing information through descriptive and integrative analysis. The results show that SLE, as an inflammatory condition mediated by the immune system, shares pathophysiological mechanisms with periodontitis, including exacerbated activation of both innate and adaptive immunity. In addition, immune imbalance promotes chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, with increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-17, which are directly associated with tissue destruction. Both conditions also present common genetic and epigenetic factors, such as polymorphisms in cytokine genes and Toll-like receptors. Oral dysbiosis may intensify the systemic inflammatory response, worsening SLE, while periodontal inflammatory mediators contribute to the exacerbation of the autoimmune disease. It is concluded that there is a bidirectional relationship between SLE and periodontitis, mediated by convergent immunoinflammatory pathways. Recognizing this association is essential for the development of integrated therapeutic strategies aimed at improving systemic health and achieving more effective control of both conditions.

It is concluded that the integration of technologies into teaching requires continuous, situated, and theoretically consistent teacher education, capable of articulating curriculum, pedagogical mediation, and digital culture, thus overcoming approaches restricted to technical training.
CRIMINAL AND PROCEDURAL ASPECTS OF THE ANTI-CRIME PACKAGE IN THE EXECUTION OF SENTENCES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LEGISLATIVE INNOVATIONS
The so-called "Anti-Crime Package," established by Law No. 13.964/2019, was the result of a political and social context marked by popular demand for greater rigor in combating crime and corruption. This law profoundly altered several legal instruments, including the Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Law on Criminal Execution. Given this reality, this study aimed to critically analyze the penal and procedural aspects introduced by the Anti-Crime Package (Law nº. 13.964/2019) within the scope of sentence execution. It was based on a literature review, drawing on scientific articles, books, periodicals, and current legislation on the subject. Data collection was carried out using databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar, among others, for the period from 2020 to 2025. The results clearly showed that the legislation adopted a predominantly punitive approach, with the tightening of rules for the execution of sentences, the restriction of penal benefits, and the expansion of control mechanisms in the prison system. These changes reflect a political-criminal choice that prioritizes repression and the neutralization of the offender, to the detriment of broader policies of prevention and resocialization. In the field of penal execution, changes in the progression of regimes, parole, and the Differentiated Disciplinary Regime demonstrate a shift in focus from social reintegration to institutional security. Although such measures seek to contain the actions of criminal organizations, their collateral effects on the dignity of the person deprived of liberty and on the resocializing purpose of the sentence cannot be ignored.

The practices identified strengthened the bond between school and community, fostered socio-environmental engagement, and promoted the development of skills for the conscious use of natural resources. At the same time, they revealed challenges related to institutional sustainability, resource scarcity, and the need for integrated public policies. It is concluded that these strategies have a high potential for replication in other contexts, offering both practical and theoretical contributions to the field of Environmental Education.
EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENT: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF AIR POLLUTION IN MANAUS RESULTING FROM CRIMINAL BURNINGS (2023–2024)
The city of Manaus, known worldwide as the Paris of the Tropics, found itself covered in smoke in 2023, caused by fires started by potential environmental criminals. The article aims to discuss the fires that have occurred in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, considering that these have caused air pollution in the city and possibly harmed the health and well-being of its residents, which becomes a problem to be researched, since it affects everyone. The method used to construct this text is the combination of dialectics with the metaepistemology of contexts, considering that this combination directs us to employ with scientific rigor, both the qualitative, quantitative or mixed approach. Our conclusion is that the Public Power, together with environmental protection agencies, has failed in the action to combat deforestation in the Amazon and eventually, this failure has affected the health and well-being of the residents of the city of Manaus. Our perspective is that, with this article, other research in the field can be carried out in order to contribute to the idea of ​​preserving the Amazon in its entirety.
MIXED JUDICIAL COMPETITION IN THE STATE MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM OF RONDÔNIA: IMPACTS ON THE FORMATION OF JUDICIAL CONVICTION, IMPARTIALITY, AND GUARANTEE OF DUE PROCESS
This paper will address the mixed collegiate system in the State Military Justice of Rondônia, which is a system of mixed collegiate judgment composed of a career civilian judge (lawyer) and active-duty military officers. This structure seeks to combine technical-legal knowledge with the experience of military life (discipline and hierarchy), ensuring that military personnel are judged by their peers. The research stems from the following problem: to verify whether the mixed collegiate system model embodies the principles of the natural judge, impartiality, and the justification of decisions. Its general objective is to analyze how the military mixed collegiate system operates in the State Military Justice of Rondônia, especially in judicial persuasion and the judgment of military crimes. The specific objectives are to define the military mixed collegiate system, analyze its historical origin and legal regime in the Federal Military Justice and in the State Military Justice systems, as well as examine the role of military judges and the lawyer judge in the mixed collegiate system, highlighting its composition, attributions, and criteria for participation in judgments. Regarding the methodology, the deductive and explanatory method was used, with theoretical and jurisprudential foundations found in bibliographic research, doctrines, scientific articles, judicial court websites, and internet data.
A FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND THE CHALLENGES OF DEFAULT IN A RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX IN SANTARÉM/PA
This article aims to analyze the financial health of a residential complex with 27 units in Santarém/PA, comparing revenues with real expenses and the impacts of default. The methodology is a quantitative and descriptive case study, using financial records from 2023 to 2025. The results show a mismatch between planned budget and execution, highlighting that most resources are absorbed by fixed infrastructure costs (garbage collection and water pump energy), leaving little margin for preventive maintenance. To mitigate the deficit, a new fixed monthly revenue model of R$ 1,850.00 is proposed, incorporating a 10% safety margin to cover historical defaults and build a reserve fund. Finally, it recommends professionalizing management through technologies such as Google Sheets, ByDoor, and Noknox to increase transparency and resident trust.

The study consisted of an integrative literature review with a qualitative approach carried out in PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Virtual Health Library and ScienceDirect, including publications from 2020 to 2025. After applying the eligibility criteria, nine studies composed the final sample. The results showed that laser therapy, especially fractional carbon dioxide laser, contributed to the reduction of scar thickness, improvement of elasticity, texture, pigmentation and vascularization, in addition to reducing pain and itching. Better therapeutic response was also observed when associated with other interventions and when started early. It is concluded that laser therapy represents an effective and promising strategy in the management of post-burn scars, although further studies with standardized protocols and long-term follow-up are still necessary.
EFFECT OF CPP-ACP MOUSSE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF POST-BLEACHING TOOTH SENSITIVITY: A RANDOMIZED DOUBLE-BLIND CLINICAL TRIAL
Tooth bleaching is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures in dentistry; however, post-bleaching dentin hypersensitivity remains the main adverse effect associated with this treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) in controlling dentin hypersensitivity and its influence on bleaching outcomes. This was a randomized, double-blind, split-mouth clinical trial involving 30 participants subjected to two desensitizing protocols: 5% potassium nitrate associated with 2% sodium fluoride and CPP-ACP mousse. Sensitivity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) during and after the bleaching procedure, and color was measured using the Vitapan Classical shade guide. Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests (p < 0.05). The results showed a significant increase in sensitivity during the bleaching procedure, followed by a progressive reduction in subsequent evaluations, with no statistically significant differences between groups. Both protocols promoted a significant reduction in color saturation without affecting bleaching efficacy. CPP-ACP demonstrated similar performance to the conventional desensitizing agent in controlling sensitivity, without compromising aesthetic outcomes, and may be considered a viable alternative in clinical practice.
CORPORATE CIVIL LIABILITY FOR TRANSBOUNDARY CLIMATE DAMAGE: JURISDICTION, COMPETENCE, AND APPLICABLE LAW FROM A BRAZILIAN LEGAL PERSPECTIVE
Climate change has been progressively intensifying cumulative and transboundary events, thus giving rise to the debate on the civil liability of corporations that emit greenhouse gases. This study seeks to investigate whether there are solutions and instruments in the Brazilian legal system that enable the civil liability of national or international corporations for transboundary climate damage, with emphasis on the obstacles faced in jurisdiction, competence, and which law is applicable, producing the following question that will guide this work: how can the Brazilian legal system hold corporations liable, considering that climate damage is diffuse, multifactorial, and transboundary? And due to the climate crisis being an urgent issue in the current scenario, as well as the existence of developments in international climate litigation demonstrating the demand for this study, the research will use an exploratory qualitative research methodology, since a bibliographic and documentary examination will be carried out. However, given the basis in objective environmental civil liability, as in the theory of integral risk, the complexity in establishing the causal link between the polluting agent and the specific climatic event, as well as the jurisdiction in disputes involving transboundary climate damage and the lack of better rules in private international law to designate which law to apply to global damages, it is clear that holding corporations liable for climate damage in Brazil will be feasible. This requires a progressive legal interpretation, based on the constantly developing science of climate attribution, and the recognition of environmental protection as a fundamental right, in the same way that there is harmonization between national and international norms.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN THE PARANÁ MILITARY FIRE DEPARTMENT: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MODELS AND ADAPTIVE STRATEGIES IN THE CONTEXT OF INSTITUTIONAL EMANCIPATION
This article develops a critical analysis of the applicability of four consolidated organizational change management models (Kotter, ADKAR/PROSCI, HCMBOK and Lean Change Management) to the Paraná Military Fire Department (CBMPR), within the context of institutional emancipation established by Constitutional Amendment No. 53/2022 and State Law No. 22,206/2024. A qualitative exploratory methodology was adopted, based on critical theoretical review and documentary analysis of the Alternative Resource Management Section (SGRA) experience between 2018 and 2024. Results show that: Kotter's model presents rigidity incompatible with the unpredictability of the transformation underway; ADKAR/PROSCI requires balancing individual focus with systemic dynamics; HCMBOK offers relevant technical-human integration but requires customization to the public military sector; and Lean Change Management demonstrates greater fit to the uncertainty typical of transforming public organizations. The SGRA trajectory empirically confirms that successful changes at CBMPR emerged from iterative cycles of experimentation, learning and adjustment, not from prescriptive linear plans. As a practical contribution, an integrated contextualized approach is proposed, organized around seven guiding principles and specific recommendations by type of change.
POTENTIAL DRUG INTERACTIONS FAVORED BY NURSES' SCHEDULING: NARRATIVE REVIEW
Patient safety constitutes a central pillar in the quality of healthcare delivery, with medication-related errors representing one of the main causes of preventable harm worldwide. Medication scheduling, a responsibility exclusively assigned to nurses in many healthcare settings, represents a strategic stage in the medication process and may function either as a protective barrier or as a facilitating factor for adverse events. This study aimed to critically analyze the scientific evidence regarding potential drug interactions associated with medication scheduling performed by nurses and their implications for patient safety. This is a narrative literature review with a qualitative and analytical-reflective approach, based on national and international publications and normative documents related to patient safety and drug interactions. The thematic analysis revealed that institutional standardization of administration times, combined with polypharmacy and pharmacotherapeutic complexity, may promote medication overlap and increase the risk of adverse events. The clinical and ethical role of nurses in critically evaluating prescriptions and defining individualized administration schedules is highlighted. It is concluded that medication scheduling should be understood as a clinically grounded decision integrated into a safety culture framework, requiring institutional strategies focused on continuing education and revision of care routines to mitigate risks.

Thus, it is concluded that the Northeast region still presents a high incidence of newly diagnosed cases compared to the data obtained in the rest of the country, with men, those over 15 years old, and those of mixed race being the most affected by this disease.
THE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SETTLED IN THE CURRICULUM DOCUMENT OF THE STATE OF PARÁ
This article analyzes the curriculum guidelines for human rights education in the Pará State Curriculum Document (DCE-PA). In 2012, Opinion No. 8/2012 was approved, establishing the National Guidelines for Human Rights Education (Brazil, 2012), according to which the Basic Education curriculum must incorporate knowledge related to the HRE perspective. In this sense, state curriculum documents developed subsequently must take these requirements into account. The research is grounded in a qualitative, documentary approach, based on Cellard (2008), and data analysis was conducted using Content Analysis, as per Bardin (2011) and Franco (2005). The results show that the provisions related to Human Rights Education in the DCE-PA are predominantly concentrated in a specific curricular component. Furthermore, these provisions refer to a traditional conception of Human Rights Education, prioritizing the dimension of human rights based on norms and legislation. It is concluded that the incorporation of Human Rights Education in the analyzed document occurs in a limited manner, which points to tensions between normative guidelines and their implementation in the curriculum. Keywords: Human Rights Education. Curriculum. Curriculum Document. Elementary School
THE EFFECTS OF COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS ON ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
This study aims to understand the impact of cognitive distortions on romantic relationships from the perspective of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), justified by the frequent occurrence of relational conflicts associated with failures in communication and interpretation of reality. The specific objectives are to analyze contemporary relationship dynamics, identify dysfunctional thinking patterns—such as mind reading, personalization, catastrophizing, and dichotomous thinking—and investigate their influence on affective bonds. This is a theoretical study conducted through a narrative literature review, based on classical authors of the cognitive-behavioral approach, such as Aaron Beck and Judith Beck, as well as contemporary studies on relationships and CBT. The study maps, based on the literature, the main types of cognitive distortions present in romantic relationships and their impact on communication. The results indicate that these distortions promote misinterpretations, hinder conflict resolution, and contribute to cycles of frustration and emotional distancing. It is concluded that CBT offers effective strategies for identifying and restructuring these patterns, promoting more assertive communication and healthier relationships.

BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS OF DENGUE VACCINATION IN BRAZIL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
This study consists of a systematic literature review that evaluates the benefits and limitations of dengue vaccination in Brazil after its incorporation into public immunization programs. Scientific databases and official national documents were searched to identify observational studies, clinical trials, and epidemiological reports that investigated the effectiveness, safety, and population impact of the vaccine, especially in eligible age groups. The outcomes analyzed included disease incidence, severe forms, hospitalizations, deaths, and possible indirect effects in unvaccinated groups. Operational factors related to implementation were also evaluated, such as vaccination coverage, eligibility criteria, dose availability, and integration with vector control measures. In general, the studies indicate a consistent reduction in symptomatic cases and hospitalizations in vaccinated populations, although limitations related to the duration of protection, regional heterogeneity of viral circulation, and logistical challenges to expanding coverage persist. No evidence of a relevant increase in severe forms was identified in individuals adequately eligible for vaccination. It is concluded that dengue vaccination represents an important complementary tool for vector control, but its population effectiveness depends on integrated strategies of epidemiological surveillance, logistical planning, and continuous safety monitoring.

EFFICACY OF BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A IN THE TREATMENT OF REFRACTORY CHRONIC MIGRAINE: ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Chronic refractory migraine is a highly disabling neurological condition, defined as headache occurring on ≥15 days per month, with migrainous features on at least 8 days, and is associated with a significant reduction in quality of life and increased functional burden (Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society, 2018; Lipton et al., 2011). In this context, botulinum toxin type A has emerged as a relevant therapeutic alternative, particularly in patients with inadequate response to conventional prophylactic treatments (Diener et al., 2010; Aurora et al., 2014). The aim of this study was to critically analyze the literature regarding the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of chronic refractory migraine, with emphasis on key clinical outcomes. A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, including studies published between 2015 and 2025, with the addition of classical studies of fundamental relevance to the topic. Randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and observational studies evaluating patients with chronic migraine treated with botulinum toxin type A were included. A total of 25 studies were included in the qualitative analysis. The results indicate that botulinum toxin type A is associated with a significant reduction in the frequency of migraine attacks, with a decrease in the number of headache days per month, as well as reduced pain intensity and improvement in quality-of-life scores, such as HIT-6 and MIDAS (Diener et al., 2010; Dodick et al., 2010). A reduction in the use of abortive medications and a favorable safety profile, with a low incidence of serious adverse events, were also observed (Aurora et al., 2014; Blumenfeld et al., 2018). These benefits were more evident in patients with chronic refractory migraine. Despite these favorable findings, heterogeneity among studies regarding application protocols, patient selection criteria, and outcome assessment methods represents a relevant limitation. Nevertheless, the results support the role of botulinum toxin type A as an effective therapeutic strategy in the management of chronic refractory migraine, particularly in cases of difficult clinical control.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IN TODAY’S WORLD: BETWEEN FUNDAMENTAL GUARANTEE AND CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right of extreme relevance to the democracy of society. This study analyzes the legal limits of this right in the Brazilian digital environment, based on the principle that the right is fundamental but not absolute, and must be in accordance with legal security and other rights. Even though the digital environment has broadened the perspectives for expressing thought, it has also become a fertile ground for the dissemination of fake news, hate speech, and other cybercrimes. The study analyzes the evolution of freedom of expression, conflicts in the virtual environment – ​​including those involving public agents – and the role of Brazilian legislation, with emphasis on the Brazilian Internet Bill of Rights (Marco Civil da Internet), in regulating these issues. Through bibliographic review and normative analysis, it concludes that, despite legal advances, the difficulty in applying the norms, given the unchecked growth of technology, makes clear the need for more effective laws, digital education, and the impact of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in building a more balanced, free, and secure online environment.
BIOMECHANICAL IMPACT OF MILD LOWER LIMB LENGTH DISCREPANCY
Discrete lower limb length discrepancy, characterized by small differences in length between the extremities, may have relevant effects on gait biomechanics, posture, and musculoskeletal load distribution, although it is often underestimated in clinical practice. The present study aimed to analyze, in light of the scientific literature, the main biomechanical effects of discrete lower limb length discrepancy in healthy individuals, with emphasis on its functional repercussions and clinical relevance. This study consists of a narrative literature review of an exploratory and descriptive nature, with a qualitative approach, conducted through searches in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, LILACS, and Virtual Health Library databases, covering publications from 2010 to 2025. The findings demonstrate that even discrepancies of small magnitude may produce measurable biomechanical alterations, including gait asymmetry, pelvic tilt, compensatory joint adaptations, and changes in plantar support behavior. It was also observed that compensatory mechanisms adopted to preserve locomotor stability and functionality may favor asymmetric load redistribution and progressive musculoskeletal overload over time. Furthermore, the literature reveals heterogeneity regarding the clinical threshold of relevance for limb length discrepancy, indicating that its interpretation should consider, in an integrated manner, the magnitude of the discrepancy, individual adaptive capacity, and the functional and clinical context of each individual. It is concluded that discrete lower limb length discrepancy should not be automatically considered a condition of low clinical relevance, since small discrepancies may generate cumulative biomechanical repercussions, with implications for functional assessment, prevention, and the planning of therapeutic interventions.

THE TYRANNY OF NOTIFICATION: A COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS OF TECHNOSTRESS AND DIGITAL HYPERVIGILANCE IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES
This article examines the phenomena of digital hypervigilance and technostress through the lenses of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and neuroscience. The ubiquity of mobile devices and the consolidation of the attention economy have shaped new behavioral patterns characterized by a state of constant alertness, mediated by dysregulated dopamine and cortisol cycles. The primary objective of this study is to discuss how Beck’s cognitive model applies to the dysfunctional use of technology, identifying intermediate beliefs regarding perpetual availability and cognitive distortions such as catastrophizing. Through a narrative review of recent literature, the study proposes intervention strategies based on cognitive restructuring, exposure and response prevention (ERP) training, and digital mindfulness as tools for reclaiming attentional agency. The findings indicate that attentional fragmentation and cognitive residue severely impact productivity and contemporary mental health. It is concluded that behavioral modification, conscious interface design, and the establishment of rigid exposure limits (digital hygiene) are fundamental for the remission of psychosomatic symptoms and the restoration of psychic homeostasis in saturated and hyperstimulated environments.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF RETINAL DETACHMENT IN THE BRAZILIAN PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM IN ALAGOAS OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS
Introduction: Retinal detachment (RD) is an ophthalmological emergency and a significant cause of preventable blindness in adults, with a risk of irreversible vision loss if timely treatment is not provided. In Brazil, especially in the Northeast and Alagoas, epidemiological data within the Unified Health System (SUS) are still limited, despite the growing demand for specialized services. Objective: To analyze the epidemiology of RD in the Brazilian public health system (SUS) in Alagoas between 2021 and 2025. Methods: This is a retrospective, quantitative, and descriptive ecological study using secondary data from the Brazilian Unified Health System's Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS). Hospitalizations due to RD (ICD-10: H33) in the state of Alagoas were analyzed, considering municipality, establishment, type of service, age group, gender, and race/ethnicity. Results: During this period, RD accounted for 57.6% of ophthalmological hospitalizations in Alagoas, with a strong concentration in Maceió (99.9%), with the Instituto de Olhos de Maceió being the establishment with the highest percentage (69.0%). Elective care predominated (98.3%). Hospitalizations were more frequent in individuals aged 60 or older (50.5%), in males (54.4%), and in the mixed-race population (90.5%). Conclusion: The results reveal a progressive increase in hospitalizations due to RD in Alagoas, with a concentration of care in referral centers in the capital. These positive results can guide external public policies towards early diagnosis, decentralization of care, and qualification of the ophthalmological network.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND LABELING THEORY: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS RELATIONSHIP IN BRAZIL BASED ON THE ELIZA SAMÚDIO CASE
This paper analyzes the influence of media coverage on the criminal trial of high-profile cases, using the murder of Eliza Samúdio as a case study. The research adopts a theoretical and empirical approach, starting with a review of the legal foundations of criminology, procedural criminal guarantees, freedom of the press, and the operation of the Jury Court in Brazil. The study highlights that the narrative constructed by the media was based on stigmatization and victim-blaming, while the defendant, former goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes, was often portrayed more neutrally. This narrative disparity exposed elements of labeling theory, revealing how the media reinforces gender stereotypes and undermines fundamental rights such as the presumption of innocence and the impartiality of the trial. It was observed that intense media exposure created a parallel trial environment, influencing public opinion, pressuring lay jurors, and fostering prejudgments. The study concludes that although freedom of the press is an essential right in a democracy, its irresponsible exercise can conflict with constitutional guarantees, generating imbalances and impairing due process of law. Therefore, it emphasizes the need for measures that reconcile freedom of expression with informative responsibility, preserving the dignity of victims and the impartiality of Justice.

THE BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING AND HEALTHY EATING FOR THE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY OF THE ELDERLY
Population aging is a global phenomenon that challenges the maintenance of individual autonomy. This article analyzes how the integration between strength training and proper nutrition impacts the functional capacity of elderly individuals. The objective is to elucidate the mechanisms by which these interventions combat sarcopenia and promote independence in Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL). The methodology consists of a qualitative bibliographic review, based on guidelines from organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), as well as contemporary studies. The results indicate that strength training induces neural and morphological adaptations essential for balance and fall prevention, while nutritional support, especially protein intake and micronutrients such as Vitamin D and Calcium, acts synergistically in preserving muscle mass. It is concluded that the interdisciplinary approach between physical exercise and nutrition is decisive for successful aging, ensuring the elderly maintain their autonomy and significantly improve their quality of life.
THE RIGHT TO DISCONNECT AS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF WORKERS
This article aims to analyze the right to disconnect as a fundamental right of workers in contemporary society, characterized by the intensification of digital technologies and the reconfiguration of labor relations. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, employing the deductive method and bibliographic review techniques, based on the analysis of legal doctrine, legislation, and academic studies. The results demonstrate that the consolidation of work models based on permanent connectivity has led to the blurring of boundaries between working hours and rest periods, with significant impacts on the physical and mental health of workers. Furthermore, a regulatory gap was identified in the Brazilian legal system regarding the specific and effective regulation of the right to disconnect. The study concludes that this right must be understood as a direct expression of human dignity, health protection, and the constitutional limitation of working hours. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen legal mechanisms and organizational practices that ensure the effective separation between professional and private life.
IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: AN INTERDISCIPLINAR ANALYSIS BETWEEN LAW AND ADMINISTRATION
This article analyzes the implementation of compliance programs in Public Administration as an instrument for preventing unlawful acts and strengthening public governance, based on an interdisciplinary approach between Law and Administration. The research, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, examines the main mechanisms that constitute effective integrity programs, such as codes of conduct, internal audits, risk management, duediligence procedures, and whistleblowing channels, contextualizing them within the public sector. From a legal perspective, the study is primarily grounded in the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law (Law No. 12,846/2013) and the Administrative Improbity Law (Law No. 8,429/1992), highlighting their role in accountability and in promoting integrity practices within public institutions. The analysis demonstrates that the adoption of compliance programs contributes not only to the mitigation of corruption risks and administrative irregularities, but also to the enhancement of transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public management. It is concluded that the effectiveness of such initiatives depends on the integration between the legal framework and managerial instruments, as well as on the commitment of senior management and the consolidation of anorganizational culture guided by ethics and the public interest.
Democratic management in public schools is one of the pillars of contemporary education, being provided for in Brazilian legislation and widely debated in the educational field. Its importance is related to promoting community participation, strengthening citizenship, and collectively constructing pedagogical projects capable of reflecting the social and cultural needs of the surroundings. Despite normative advances, difficulties persist in consolidating this management model, which makes it relevant to expand reflection on its conceptual bases, practices, and challenges. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze, through a literature review, the conceptions, participatory practices, and limitations of democratic management in public schools. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic survey in national and international databases, including full articles, reviews, and documents published between 2020 and 2025, selected based on descriptors related to the theme. The results showed that democratic management strengthens school identity and promotes greater legitimacy of decisions when there is effective participation of teachers, students, families, and the community. School councils and political-pedagogical projects proved to be relevant instruments of participation, although often limited by bureaucratic practices, low community involvement, and insufficient training of managers. It is concluded that the effectiveness of democratic management depends on overcoming structural, cultural, and formative barriers, as well as building a culture of continuous participation. More than a legal principle, it is configured as a social and pedagogical practice capable of promoting inclusion, equity, and quality in public education.

It is concluded that musicalization represents a relevant pedagogical resource for Early Childhood Education, as it promotes meaningful learning and contributes to the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children, reinforcing the importance of its planned inclusion in the school routine.
USE OF TERRAIN MODELING IN POLICING IN THE CITY OF MANAUS/AM: GEOLOCATION TO OBTAIN THE GREATEST POSSIBLE REALITY
This article presents an exploratory and descriptive analysis of the use of geoinformation and terrain modeling to support the recognition of the urban environment and the planning of policing in Manaus/AM.The study employed QGIS software version 3.44 'Solothurn' for geodata processing, using TOPODATA/INPE (DTM) as an altimetric base, in addition to images obtained by DJI Mavic 3 drone as a complementary resource for hyperlocal recognition. The generated cartographic products were subjected to visual comparative verification with the three-dimensional representation of Google Earth, with the aim of evaluating the interpretative coherence of the terrain features and discussing limitations and potential uses in an urban context. The results indicate that the integration between products derived from Digital Elevation Models and visualization tools can support terrain reading and prior terrain recognition, potentially contributing to the organization of tactical planning and the expansion of situational awareness, provided it is combined with updated information and field observation. It is concluded that the use of GIS and 3D visualization shows potential for application as a planning support tool, and future investigations with more robust metrics and evaluation protocols are recommended.
ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND LEGAL SECURITY IN AMAZONAS: FROM LEGAL AND FUNCTIONAL VULNERABILITY TO THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF SPECIALIZED ASSISTANCE FOR MILITARY POLICE OFFICERS
This article analyzes access to justice for military police officers in the State of Amazonas from the perspective of specialized legal assistance provided by the Public Defender's Office (DPE-AM). The research is based on the premise that police activity is embedded in a "Risk Society," where the gap between prescribed work and real work generates a legal-functional vulnerability that transcends economic criteria. The general objective is to evaluate the impact of the Working Group for Legal Assistance to Military Police (GTPM) in mitigating this vulnerability in Manaus between 2022 and 2024. The methodology adopted is qualitative and exploratory, based on bibliographic and documentary research, grounded in the works of Nascimento et al. (2026) and Pereira and Marques (2025). The results indicate that free technical assistance reduced operational hesitation and generated an estimated saving of R$ 3 million for the officers. It concludes that the definitive institutionalization of the GTPM as a Permanent Nucleus is essential to ensure the parity of arms and the legal and emotional security necessary for the efficiency of public safety in Amazonas.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF LIVER DISEASES IN PARANÁ (2010–2024)
The epidemiological profile of liver diseases in Paraná (2010-2024) is essential for understanding the distribution, frequency, and factors associated with liver diseases. This is a quantitative study analyzing data on hepatitis, malignant liver neoplasm, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which are highly relevant epidemiologically. A higher prevalence of these diseases is observed in males, possibly associated with social and habitual factors. In this sense, the implementation of public policies and guidelines regarding the development of treatments and prevention targeted at this population is relevant.
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND ITS CHALLENGES TODAY
Inclusive education has become a reality full of challenges and opportunities for educational institutions. The objective of this article is to analyze the challenges and opportunities that arise in school institutions related to inclusive education. Inclusive education has its antecedent in special education, this definition is widely accepted and explicit in educational compendiums in Brazil, relating to other pedagogical traditions, in which the defense of school and public education is supported. However, it is important to note that inclusion as such not only encompasses the educational scope, but also encompasses the social problem that this represents in the entire school community. In view of this, the present work aimed to analyze these aspects in the bibliographic and literary context today.
DIGITAL JUSTICE AND THE ELDERLY: BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICAL INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION FROM ACCESS TO JUSTICE
The digitalization of the Brazilian Judiciary, driven by tools such as the Electronic Judicial Process (PJe), virtual help desks, and remote hearings, has been presented as a mechanism to expand access to justice, promoting greater efficiency and speed in judicial proceedings. However, this technological advancement reveals a paradox by exposing new forms of exclusion, particularly affecting the elderly population, who face difficulties related to digital literacy, access to technological devices, and limitations associated with aging. In this context, the present study aims to analyze the functioning of digital judicial services in light of the constitutional guarantees of access to justice, focusing on the barriers faced by this group. To this end, a qualitative approach of an exploratory and descriptive nature was adopted, based on bibliographic and documentary research. The findings indicate that, although digitalization contributes to the efficiency of the justice system, its implementation without effective public policies for digital inclusion may lead to legal exclusion and compromise the full exercise of fundamental rights. It is concluded that there is a need for measures that promote digital inclusion for the elderly population, as well as the maintenance of alternative access mechanisms, in order to ensure a more equitable and accessible justice system.
ANALYSIS OF MORTALITY FROM ENDOCRINE, METABOLIC AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH DIABETES MELLITUS ACCORDING TO SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS IN THE EASTERN HEALTH MACRO-REGION OF PARANÁ, 2019–2023
Diabetes mellitus is an important public health problem due to its high epidemiological magnitude and association with metabolic and cardiovascular complications. This study aimed to analyze mortality from endocrine, metabolic and circulatory system diseases associated with diabetes mellitus in the Eastern Health Macro-region of Paraná, from 2019 to 2023. This is an ecological, retrospective, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, based on secondary data from the Mortality Information System (SIM/DATASUS). A total of 26,526 deaths were analyzed in the municipalities of Curitiba, Guarapuava, Paranaguá and Ponta Grossa. A higher concentration was observed in Curitiba, an increasing trend until 2022 and a reduction in 2023. There was a predominance in the elderly, a slightly higher frequency in males and a concentration among individuals with lower education. Circulatory system diseases stood out as the main causes associated with diabetes, highlighting the need for prevention, control and health surveillance actions.
BIOMEDICINE, NEOLIBERALISM AND THE MEDICALIZATION OF CHILDHOOD: PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AS A CONTESTED TERRITORY
There has been a significant increase in psychiatric diagnoses in Brazil, particularly among children, reflecting a process that has been termed the medicalization of childhood. The growing trend of referring children to health services due to behavioral complaints in school settings and the search for diagnostic labels makes this a relevant issue for study in the field of public health. Thus, the present study aims to understand how the influence of biomedical and neoliberal rationalities in Primary Health Care (PHC) shapes current approaches to conceiving and caring for children, with implications for health outcomes and subjectivity. To this end, the research began with a narrative literature review. It is concluded that PHC constitutes a territory of tension between the principles of the SUS and the hegemony of biomedical rationality, which, linked to neoliberal ideology, tends to individualize health issues and standardize bodies and behaviors. The centrality of diagnosis can lead to the co-optation of childhood experiences, reducing political and social issues to biological aspects. Therefore, it is important to reclaim the principles of the SUS for an expanded and contextualized clinical practice.
CURRICULUM FLEXIBILITY IN BASIC EDUCATION SCHOOLS
Curricular flexibility in Basic Education has consolidated itself as one of the main debates in the Brazilian educational context, especially after the approval of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the 2017 high school reform. The need to reconcile a mandatory common core with the recognition of local specificities and inclusive demands has become a challenge for schools, managers, and teachers. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze, through a literature review, the concepts, practices, and challenges related to curricular flexibility, considering its pedagogical, social, and organizational impacts. The research was developed through a bibliographic survey in national and international databases, covering publications between 2020 and 2025. Complete articles, books, and normative documents that directly addressed curricular flexibility were selected, while abstracts, opinion texts, and duplicate works were excluded. The results showed that curricular flexibility can promote more meaningful learning, reduce school dropout, enhance youth protagonism, and strengthen inclusion. They also indicated that the practice requires adaptation of methodologies, accessibility resources, and school autonomy. However, important challenges emerged, such as inequalities between school networks, insufficient infrastructure, lack of teacher training, and risks of curricular fragmentation. It is concluded that curricular flexibility constitutes an essential guideline for building a democratic and inclusive school, but its effectiveness depends on consistent public policies, structural investments, and the appreciation of education professionals.
FROM ENGAGEMENT TO ILLNESS: THE CIVIL LIABILITY OF DIGITAL PLATFORMS
This article investigates the civil liability of digital platforms for psychological harm arising from their business models based on the capture and monetization of human attention. Drawing on the Theory of Predatory Cognitive Economics — developed by the authors — it argues that these platforms not only exploit cognitive vulnerabilities but deliberately amplify them, exposing users to foreseeable risks of mental health harm. The article examines the elements of civil liability under Brazilian law, with particular focus on the Civil Code of 2002 and the Internet Civil Rights Framework (Law No. 12,965/2014), and proposes that platform conduct constitutes an unlawful act capable of giving rise to a duty of reparation. It concludes that the application of the theory to strict liability, or subsidiarily to fault-based liability with presumed negligence, provides the dogmatic framework necessary to attribute liability to platforms for the cognitive and psychological damages inflicted upon their users. To this end, a legal-dogmatic methodology of a qualitative nature is adopted, based on bibliographic and documentary analysis, with a systematic examination of national and foreign doctrine, as well as relevant legislation.
THERMAL STRESS AND PREGNANCY: EFFECTS OF HEAT WAVES ON MATERNAL-FETAL HEALTH
This study aimed to analyze the effects of thermal stress caused by heat waves on maternal-fetal health, highlighting the main pathophysiological mechanisms and associated adverse outcomes. This is a qualitative literature review conducted using the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases, including studies published between 2022 and 2026. The results showed a consistent association between exposure to extreme heat during pregnancy and complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction. These effects are related to changes in maternal thermoregulation, reduced uteroplacental perfusion, inflammatory responses, and metabolic dysfunctions at the maternal-fetal interface. Additionally, socioeconomic and environmental factors increase the vulnerability of pregnant women, especially in low-income settings. The findings also reveal gaps in public policies aimed at protecting maternal and child health in the context of climate change. It is concluded that thermal stress represents a significant public health challenge, requiring integrated strategies for prevention, monitoring, and qualified prenatal care.
TWEIGHT TRAINING AS AN ADJUVANT STRATEGY IN PRESERVING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS IN MILITARY POLICE OFFICERS IN MANAUS
This article investigates the role of weight training as a key ally in the mental health care of military police officers working in Manaus, Amazonas. The central point of the research is to understand how strength training can reduce psychopathological conditions within the tense environment of public security. Using a methodology based on qualitative literature review and supported by epidemiological data, the results show that the regular practice of resistance exercises promotes the release of essential neurotransmitters and strengthens self-esteem, acting as a "shield" against stress and mental exhaustion. We conclude that institutionally encouraging weight training is a cheap and efficient strategy to maintain the health of the force, reducing absenteeism and restoring quality of life to those working on the front lines.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF STROKE AND MODIFIABLE RISK FACTORS IN THE EASTERN MACRO-REGION OF PARANÁ
This article aimed to analyze the influence of behavioral factors on the epidemiological profile of Stroke in the Eastern macro-region of Paraná, with emphasis on systemic arterial hypertension, obesity, smoking, and illicit drug use. This is a quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory cross-sectional study based on secondary data analysis from DATASUS, 2019–2024, complemented by data from IBGE, 2025, SISAB, SISVAN, and VIGITEL, 2024. The results showed a higher occurrence of hospitalizations and deaths among individuals aged 60 years or older, as well as a slight predominance of males in hospitalizations. Hypertension was identified as the main risk factor, followed by diabetes mellitus and obesity. Variations among municipalities were observed, as well as a dissociation between prevalence and mortality rates. It is concluded that strengthening preventive actions and risk factor control, along with improving healthcare quality and health information systems, is essential to reduce the impacts of Stroke.
CIVIL LIABILITY OF DIGITAL INFLUENCERS IN THE PROMOTION OF ONLINE GAMBLING: CHALLENGES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSUMER LAW AND THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
This article focuses on the civil liability of digital influencers who promote online gambling on their social media networks, highlighting the dangers consumers face due to the actions of certain influencers in the vast realm of the internet, and how these actions affect relationships with their clients and the protection of their personal information. The analysis also centers on the vast growth of online gambling in Brazil, partly through the use of digital influencers who advertise online gambling sites, where their reputation and proximity to the public also serve to promote consumer behavior in a rapidly growing market, susceptible to information and without restrictions. In this context, the following research problem arises: to what extent can digital influencers be held civilly liable for promoting online gambling, especially when there is omission of relevant information, potentially misleading advertising, and possible violation of consumer rights and the protection of personal data? Furthermore, it is questioned whether such agents can be considered part of the consumer chain, in light of the Consumer Protection Code and the General Data Protection Law, even considering the regulatory gaps existing in the Brazilian legal system. The objective of this work is to investigate the civil liability of such influencers who advocate online gambling based on the fact that they are liable under the Consumer Protection Code, the General Data Protection Law, and related principles, such as civil liability. The reality is that, although there is a regulation governing online gambling in Brazil, many gaps and potential consequences exist. The research is based on national doctrine and legislation, decisions of the Superior Court of Justice, and documents from national or international consumer and health protection agencies.
THE INCLUSION OF MUSIC AS A PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
This study aimed to investigate the inclusion of music as a pedagogical strategy in the development of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the teaching and learning process in Early Childhood Education. The research was qualitative in nature, conducted through interviews with teachers at a municipal school in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, designated as (P1 and P2), seeking to understand the contributions of music in the educational context. This work is based on: Soares and Rubio (2012), (BNCC, 2017) and (Law No. 13.146/2015). The results indicate that music presents itself as a relevant pedagogical resource, favoring the cognitive, social, and communicative development of children. Musical activities contribute to making the learning environment more dynamic, participatory, and inclusive, in addition to stimulating student engagement, interaction, and socialization. It was also observed that the use of music in the school context requires pedagogical planning and adequate teacher training, enabling more meaningful educational practices. It is concluded that music constitutes an important pedagogical tool in Early Childhood Education, contributing to the child's integral development and to the promotion of an inclusive and welcoming education.
MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIOEMOTIONAL IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT
This study addresses mental health and socioemotional development in the school context, focusing on the experiences of basic education students. Its objective was to analyze how schools can contribute to mental health care and to the strengthening of students’ socioemotional skills. Methodologically, it is a qualitative, bibliographic research based on the analysis of books, scientific articles, monographs, and other academic works available in electronic databases. The results show that schools play a relevant role in promoting emotional well-being, preventing psychological distress, and fostering more respectful and welcoming relationships. In this process, pedagogical practices based on listening, dialogue, and coexistence stand out, as well as the strengthening of the relationship between school and family. In addition, teacher training and the planning of institutional actions aimed at emotional care prove to be fundamental for building a healthier school environment. It is concluded that valuing mental health and socioemotional education is an essential element for the integral formation of students, contributing to their school retention and full development.
MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS OF YOUTH TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES FROM ONE OF THE MAIN CLUBS IN PORTO ALEGRE
Motivation is an important factor among the psychological aspects that lead to the practice of physical activity. This study aims to analyze the motivational factors of track and field athletes from one of the main clubs in Porto Alegre-RS. The sample consisted of 30 youth athletes from both sexes. This was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive quantitative approach. The instrument used was the Inventory of Motivation for Regular Physical Activity Practice (IMPRAFE-54) by Balbinotti and Barbosa (2006). The results indicate that pleasure, followed by health, are the dimensions that most motivate athletes to practice track and field, while stress control was the least important factor. It can be concluded that the predominant factor for practicing athletics is activities that promote pleasure among athletes.
The STRENGTH TRAINING AS A NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTION IN PRESERVING BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN: A LITERATURE REVIEW.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a highly prevalent clinical condition characterized by the deterioration of bone microarchitecture due to estrogen deprivation. The objective of this narrative review was to analyze the efficacy of High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training (HiRIT) in preserving bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. The methodology involved a structured search in PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science databases, covering studies published between 2018 and 2026. Inclusion criteria focused on clinical trials with loads ≥80% of 1RM. The findings indicate that high-magnitude mechanical stimuli modulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and suppress sclerostin, favoring osteoblastic anabolism. It is concluded that supervised resistance training, by combining axial overload and controlled impact, demonstrates superior results compared to low-intensity protocols in BMD maintenance and fracture risk reduction, establishing itself as an essential non-pharmacological intervention in skeletal health.
LIVING CURRICULUM OR MONITORED CURRICULUM? THE BNCC BETWEEN THE RHETORIC OF CREATIVITY AND THE LOGIC OF STANDARDIZATION
The Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), ratified in 2017 and 2018, has established itself as the primary instrument of curricular ordering in Brazilian basic education, mobilizing throughout its text a markedly emancipatory vocabulary — student agency, creativity, autonomy, and life projects — that coexists, paradoxically, with a highly regulatory normative architecture, expressed in the compulsory codification of competencies and skills, in the alignment of large-scale assessments, and in the subordination of teacher education to the prescriptive logic of the Framework. This article investigates this constitutive discursive contradiction, arguing that it does not represent an accidental inconsistency, but rather a structurally necessary operation for the functioning of the BNCC as a device of curricular regulation and control. Through qualitative research of a documentary and bibliographic nature, the primary corpus is the BNCC text (2017/2018), analyzed through thematic-categorical Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2016), in dialogue with Brazilian critical academic production from the period 2018–2025. The theoretical framework articulates Basil Bernstein's theory of pedagogic discourse, Alice Casimiro Lopes's perspective on curriculum policy, and Michael W. Apple's critique of curriculum as a field of power. The findings demonstrate that the BNCC operates a process of discursive recontextualization through which emancipatory languages are captured and reinscribed in service of standardization and performativity, producing what is here termed a monitored curriculum with a humanist face — sufficiently flexible in discourse to generate pedagogical adherence, sufficiently rigid in structure to ensure control. It is concluded that the defense of curriculum as a genuine space of creation and movement presupposes the critical recognition of the discursive mechanisms that operate its capture.
EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING IN IMPROVING MOTOR CONTROL ASSESSED BY THE FUGL-MEYER SCALE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC POST-STROKE CONDITIONS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
Stroke is one of the leading causes of chronic disability worldwide, resulting in motor impairments that directly affect an individual’s autonomy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive resistance training on motor control in patients with chronic stroke through an integrative review based on the Fugl-Meyer Scale. Data were collected from PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar using controlled DeCS/MeSH descriptors, including articles published between 2020 and 2025 in Portuguese and English. Initially, 64 studies were identified, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria and removing duplicates, 7 clinical trials and experimental studies were selected for the final sample. The results demonstrated that progressive resistance training significantly improves motor control without exacerbating spasticity, while also reducing muscle atrophy and preventing sarcopenia. The combination of resistance training with task-oriented approaches, serious games, and neuromodulation (for lower limbs) further enhanced functional outcomes. It is concluded that progressive resistance training is an effective strategy for motor rehabilitation in chronic stroke patients, as reflected in improved Fugl-Meyer Scale scores, although the literature highlights the need for better standardization of training loads and discusses the scale’s sensitivity in patients with severe impairments.
SPIRITUALITY IN THE FIELD OF MENTAL HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE: SCOPE REVIEW
Spirituality, once associated only with religion, is now understood as a search for meaning and overcoming, playing an important role in mental health. Evidence indicates that it contributes to the prevention and treatment of disorders, as well as improving quality of life and reducing mortality, and it is increasingly valued in clinical practice. This study aimed to identify evidence in the literature regarding the importance of spirituality in mental health and quality of life. A qualitative scoping review was conducted in May 2025 using the LILACS, MEDLINE, and BDENF databases, with the descriptors spirituality, mental health, and quality of life. Inclusion criteria were original, free-access articles without language restrictions published between 2020 and 2025. Duplicates, studies not aligned with the objective, those with methodological inconsistencies, and other publication types were excluded. Initially, 267 articles were found, of which 13 were included in the final sample. The findings indicate that spirituality significantly contributes to maintaining quality of life and promoting mental health, serving as an important resource in coping with suffering. Greater integration of spirituality into healthcare and further research are recommended.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BOTULINUM TOXIN AS AN ADJUNCT THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DYSFUNCTION AND BRUXISM
The use of botulinum toxin in orofacial harmonization has become increasingly common among dental professionals, particularly due to its high efficacy in treating problems caused by excessive muscle tension in the orofacial region. Patients with bruxism, for example, can derive significant benefits from the use of botulinum toxin, which helps temporarily relax the muscles responsible for chewing. The objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy of botulinum toxin as a therapeutic option for TMD and bruxism. This study was designed as a literature review, employing a qualitative and exploratory-descriptive approach, using the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (ScieLO), National Library of Medicine (PubMed), ScienceDirect, and CAPES Journals. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles available as free-access PDFs, published between 2019 and 2025, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, that addressed the application of botulinum toxin in orofacial harmonization. Articles that did not provide the full text, duplicate articles, preprints, and those not directly related to the proposed topic were excluded. First, we identified 164 studies for this study, including 120 articles in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed) database, 15 in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (ScieLO), 18 in ScienceDirect, and 11 in the CAPES Journals database. Immediately thereafter, after applying the previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 8 articles were selected for this study. It is concluded that it is important to emphasize the need for more randomized clinical trials, with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up, to establish standardized protocols and increase the level of scientific evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin in this treatment.

PREVALENCE AND RISK FACTORS OF STROKE IN BRAZIL BETWEEN 2013 AND 2024: A LITERATURE REVIEW
This article aimed to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of stroke in Brazil between 2013 and 2024 through an analytical literature review, in which the databases used were the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and PubMed, using the descriptors: risk factors, stroke, control, and clinical profile. It was observed that the disease is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, as well as functional disability, generating a significant impact on individuals' quality of life and on healthcare systems. The rapid identification of stroke signs and symptoms and the initiation of treatment within the therapeutic window are therefore determining factors in reducing mortality and neurological sequelae. The analyzed studies demonstrate that primary and secondary prevention strategies play an essential role in reducing the incidence and recurrence of stroke. This work aims to analytically and coherently elucidate the profile of patients with stroke and how these factors can be controlled to minimize sequelae and symptoms.
THE USE OF COMPETITIVE AND COOPERATIVE GAMES IN THE CONTEXT OF AUTISM: EVIDENCE IN REVIEW
This study aimed to review recent scientific literature on the use of cooperative and competitive games as pedagogical and therapeutic strategies for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). An exploratory literature review was conducted using publications from 2020 to 2025 indexed in SciELO, PubMed, Google Scholar, and CAPES Periódicos. Findings indicate that cooperative games enhance socialization, empathy, eye contact, and functional communication, fostering safe and inclusive environments. Adapted competitive games, when properly mediated, contribute to emotional resilience, frustration tolerance, and understanding of social rules. Hybrid approaches combining initial cooperation with gradual competition showed promising results in increasing engagement and motivation. Despite positive outcomes, methodological limitations remain, including small sample sizes and a lack of longitudinal and comparative studies. It is concluded that the planned use of games can support social inclusion and socio-emotional development in individuals with ASD; however, more robust research is needed to strengthen evidence and guide future practices.

The results showed that physical therapy resources such as aerobic exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, and Pilates promote multidimensional benefits, including chronic pain reduction, improved mobility, sleep quality, psychological well-being, and functional autonomy. The need for individualized protocols was also highlighted, as response to treatment varies among patients. The conclusion is that physical therapy represents an essential intervention in the management of fibromyalgia and should be integrated into multidisciplinary protocols. In addition to alleviating physical symptoms, it contributes to self-esteem, social integration, and productivity, reinforcing its relevance as an indispensable tool in comprehensive care.
EFFECTS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE ON CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS AND FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY IN CHRONIC STROKE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIALS
This article aimed to assess the impact of aerobic exercise interventions on cardiorespiratory fitness, functional capacity, mobility, balance, and quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke. This is a systematic literature review carried out in the PubMed, Cochrane Central, and Virtual Health Library (BVS) databases. The analyzed studies suggest that aerobic exercise increases peak VO₂ and reduces resting heart rate, promoting improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and functional capacity. Improvements were also observed in gait speed. However, the findings regarding balance and mobility were inconsistent, and only one study reported improvements in quality of life, indicating that evidence on quality of life is still limited. The use of aerobic exercise seems to represent a promising strategy for individuals with chronic stroke, but more high-quality randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm the observed effects, especially on balance, mobility, and quality of life.
INEQUITIES IN CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING IN THE BRAZILIAN UNIFIED HEALTH SYSTEM: COVERAGE OF CYTOPATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS
Cervical cancer is a serious public health problem in Brazil, and it can be prevented through cytopathological examination, although inequalities persist in access to screening. The objective of this study was to examine inequalities in screening within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), focusing on screening coverage and related social factors. This is a literature review with a qualitative and descriptive approach, based on studies published between 2022 and 2026 in scientific repositories and official documents. The results show that, although the examination is widely available, its coverage is still insufficient and unequal, concentrating on certain groups and excluding vulnerable populations. In addition to cultural barriers, such as fear and lack of information, there are regional, racial, and socioeconomic inequalities that hinder adherence to screening. The discussion highlights deficiencies in the structure of the opportunistic model implemented in the country and the demand for more efficient strategies. To reduce these inequalities, it is necessary to strengthen Primary Care, implement organized screening, and promote actions aimed at health equity.
IMPORTANCE OF DENTAL CARE IN CONTROLLING INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN INTERNSIVE CARE UNITS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Infections in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) represent an important public health issue due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with critically ill patients, especially those undergoing invasive procedures and mechanical ventilation. In this context, the oral cavity may act as a potential reservoir of pathogenic microorganisms and a source of odontogenic infections, contributing to systemic complications and worsening the patient’s clinical condition. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the importance of controlling and eliminating odontogenic infectious foci in patients hospitalized in ICUs, as well as the contribution of the dental surgeon in preventing hospital-acquired infections and improving clinical outcomes. This is an integrative literature review with a qualitative and exploratory approach, conducted in the SciELO, LILACS, and MEDLINE databases through the Virtual Health Library, including articles published between 2019 and 2025 in Portuguese and English. The analyzed studies showed that the dental surgeon’s role in the ICU contributes to the control of the oral microbiota, reduction of infectious foci, decreased incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, shorter hospital stay, and improved clinical prognosis.

DETERMINANTES SOCIALES DE LA INFECCIÓN POR VIH/SIDA EN PERSONAS MAYORES: UNA REVISIÓN INTEGRADORA
This article aimed to discuss the aging of the Brazilian population, marked by a significant increase in people aged 60 or older, which has revealed new challenges for public health, including the rise in HIV/AIDS cases in this age group. This study, conducted through an integrative literature review, sought to understand how political, social, and economic factors contribute to this growing vulnerability. The analyzed publications show that the invisibility of sexuality in old age, misinformation, and the absence of educational campaigns aimed at the elderly favor late diagnosis and low risk perception. Furthermore, the stigma still associated with HIV and the difficulty healthcare professionals face in addressing the topic reinforce gaps in care. Aspects such as low education levels, limitations in access to health services, regional inequalities, and unfavorable socioeconomic conditions also stand out as determinants that increase exposure to infection. The results show that these factors are intertwined, revealing that infection is not only the result of individual behaviors, but of a social structure that historically marginalizes old age and gives little consideration to its specific needs. Thus, the study concludes that addressing the rise in HIV among the elderly requires more comprehensive public policies, adequate training for healthcare professionals, and educational strategies that clearly and accessibly include this population in prevention, diagnosis, and care initiatives.

EARLY-ONSET ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: RISK FACTORS, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANAGEMENT
This article sought to examine early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) in terms of its clinical course, predisposing factors, and management through a literature review, with an emphasis on distinguishing between EOAD and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LDAD), including articles published between 2015 and 2025, obtained from the “Alzheimer’s Association,” “ScienceDirect,” “Cochrane,” and “PubMed” databases, using the keywords “Alzheimer,” “early,” and “onset,” with the AND operator. The study showed that EAD has a more aggressive clinical course, with non-amnestic manifestations, due to greater tau protein accumulation and beta-amyloid deposition, leading to accelerated cognitive decline; predisposing factors include chronic stress and genetics, with mutations in the PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP genes. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, the use of biomarkers, and imaging tests, and its management includes symptom control and emerging therapies such as passive immunotherapy and gene therapy. The study indicates that genetic influence is the primary factor affecting the significant formation of beta-amyloid plaques, and its clinical course differs in that it begins with a presentation of non-amnestic neurofunctional loss; these characteristics are fundamental for guiding early diagnosis and management.
THE HUMAN FACTOR IN INFORMATION SECURITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE LGPD
This article analyzes the persistence of the human factor as the main vulnerability in information security structures, from the perspective of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Although the Brazilian regulatory framework has established strict compliance standards and logical security solutions have reached high levels of sophistication, the behavioral fallibility of processing agents remains the critical vector for the materialization of security incidents. The investigation examines how negligence, malpractice, and vulnerability to social engineering tactics compromise the effectiveness of systemic barriers, generating risks of strict civil and administrative liability for organizations. Through a literature review and analysis of global incident reports, the study demonstrates that technical compliance is insufficient if detached from an ingrained data protection culture. It is concluded that continuous corporate education and digital literacy are not merely accessory measures, but indispensable legal instruments for mitigating damages and consolidating a resilient data governance based on the duty of vigilance.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYSTEMIC ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AND THE OCCURRENCE OF STROKE IN ADULTS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, with Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) being the most relevant modifiable risk factor for stroke. This study aimed to map and analyze the scientific evidence in the literature regarding the relationship between SAH and the occurrence of stroke in adults. The search strategy was carried out on the BVS, PubMed, SciELO, and PEDro databases, with a time frame from 2021 to 2025. Scientific articles in English and Portuguese were included. Eight articles that met the eligibility and methodological rigor criteria were selected. The main results indicate that SAH is the predominant modifiable risk factor, responsible for more than 55% of stroke cases. Blood pressure control, aiming for systolic pressure targets below 120 mmHg, proved to be significantly more effective in reducing the incidence of cerebrovascular events and mortality than standard treatment. It is concluded that hypertensive adults have greater vulnerability due to chronic endothelial damage. The study reinforces that early diagnosis, accurate monitoring via Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), and multidisciplinary interventions are crucial to mitigate the functional and socioeconomic impacts caused by stroke in the population.
BASIC PUBLIC EDUCATION IN ANGOLA: BETWEEN NORMATIVE DESIGN AND THE CHALLENGES OF EFFECTIVENESS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION
This article seeks to examine basic public education in Angola, focusing on the tension between the legal-programmatic design and the daily effectiveness of primary education. The study is based on the recognition that the country possesses relevant frameworks, such as the Constitution of the Republic, the Basic Law of the Education and Teaching System, and the National Development Plan 2023-2027. Simultaneously, recent reports and studies indicate the persistence of school exclusion, territorial inequalities, financing limitations, infrastructure weaknesses, and gaps in learning monitoring. Methodologically, this work employs a qualitative, basic approach with exploratory-descriptive objectives, aiming to understand and describe the challenges of education in Angola. Regarding methodological procedures, the bibliographic method was utilized, with data collection through a literature review including normative documents, international reports, and academic production on Angola and the PALOP (Portuguese-speaking African countries). Data analysis was performed using the content analysis technique, allowing for the identification of patterns, categories, and contradictions in the studied material. Research results show that Angola possesses a very well-organized normative design aligned with the promotion of social rights, featuring sound planning policies and ambitious national development plans; however, in practice, what is observed is a partisan and precarious education system, dilapidated schools, and an insufficiency of vacancies. It is concluded that the primary challenge is not the absolute absence of policies, but rather the insufficiency of implementation, capillarity, transparency, and the capacity to transform formal rights into equitable and qualitatively consistent school experiences.
TEACHER IDENTITY UNDER THE LOGIC OF DATA: FROM PEDAGOGICAL PRAXIS TO SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
This article investigates the profound reconfigurations in the identity and routine of teaching work driven by the platformization and datafication of public school networks. The main objective is to analyze the tensions between pedagogical autonomy and the institutional demand for the management of corporate virtual systems. Methodologically, the research is characterized as a theoretical-bibliographical review study with a qualitative approach, based on the critical analysis of contemporary literature on educational policy and technology. The theoretical framework mobilizes the categories of data colonialism and surveillance capitalism to problematize the phenomenon of algorithmic governance. The synthesis of the analyses shows that the centrality of dashboards imposes a regime of performativity that bureaucratizes the profession, shifting the teacher from the condition of intellectual author of their praxis to a technical operator of metrics. It is also noted that technological solutionism masks sociodigital exclusion under superficial engagement statistics. It concludes that the formulation of digital sovereignty guidelines and the development of data literacy in teacher training are imperative, ensuring that technology remains subordinated to the political-pedagogical project.
