Male homosexual trainee students vigilated in a Center of Childhood Education
No full textIn this paper, we analyzed the discourse of homosexual trainee students, in a Center of Childhood Education, in Brazil. Theoretical references, in the field of educational studies, gender and diversity, were used to execute the investigation. It is a qualitative research based on the method of case study. We verified that in this context, the presence of homosexuals pressure the relations of gender in the field of childhood education, challenging the deconstruction of models of men who are not able to take care of children. It is considered important the discussion about gender, teaching and sexual diversity, both in the initial education as in the in-service training of the professionals working in this area, looking forward to the paradigm of an inclusive, democratic and citizen education
Anatomy Classroom: Rethinking Teaching Practices
No full textHuman anatomy is a fundamental area for the training of health professionals, presenting itself as a foundation in their formation. However, the methodological path adopted in teaching practice in the course of this discipline is based on traditional methodologies. However, contemporaneity calls for new form and approach in the pedagogical course, inquiring and rethinking the anatomy classroom through different practices and active methodologies with the insertion of technological resources. Thus, the present research aims to investigate the different teaching practices applied in the anatomy classroom through an integrative review. An integrative review of the literature was performed through research in electronic databases: Science Direct and SciELO. The inclusion criteria were: studies that answered the guide question, research with human beings, published from 2015 to 2021, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. It was verified that there are a number of tools and strategies that can be used to teach the most attractive of human anatomy, stimulating the development of the skills and competencies of health students
University Social Responsibility and The Control Mechanisms of The Ministry of Education from A Systemic View
No full textThis article aims to analyze whether University Social Responsibilities - USR is regulated in the control mechanisms that inspect and allow the opening and continuity of a Higher Education Institution, making an analysis as to whether the MEC assessment instruments are efficient in the implementation of a socially responsible organizational culture, having as a reference the systemic view, which allows a macro analysis from the legal side. It is a qualitative research, where the documentation of the Higher Education legislation was analyzed, using techniques to understand the object of study in its entirety, but whose raw material is the legislation that deals with the evaluation systems and the Instruments for Assessment of Accreditation of an HEI and course. The importance of this research is due to the fact that it performs an analysis to find out how USR is inserted in the legislation, and that the absence of a clear and objective legislation, make the HEIs comply only with what is required by law, that is, the minimum , and in accordance with legislation
Use of wood waste from Amazonian tree species for the manufacture of products with regional identity
No full textBased on the problem of the quantity of wood waste generated by the timber milling process in sawmills in the state of Amazonas and the possibility of manufacturing products using this material, the aim of this study was to develop a product with regional identity made from this wood waste. The research process involved analysis of cultural issues in the North Region of Brazil and the quantity and quality of wood waste present in the Wood Engineering and Artefacts Laboratory (LEAM/INPA). This wood was donated by the company Mil Madeireira, located in the municipality of Itacoatiara in the state of Amazonas. Assessment of the regional themes of northern Brazil found that animals are represented in many products. This is especially true for handicrafts, where artisans seek to represent animals typical of the region in carvings, paintings, sewing and other crafts. As a result, a mood board was created with images of the most popular animals in the North region. The product was developed from hand drawings and 3D modeling to check the relationship between the pieces. Later, a physical prototype was developed using sawmill waste from the species Peãozinho (Micrandropsis sclerorylum W. Rodr), Cardeiro (Scleronemoma micranthum) and Mandioqueira (Qualea paraenses), after their classification. Based on the quality and quantity of waste generated from milling, one of the proposed alternatives was a coffee table called Arara (Macaw). The coffee table consists of 5 (five) pieces: 4 (four) of wood and 1 (one) of glass. In search of satisfactory results, this idea arose based on two factors: the aesthetic and emotional appeal, and modularity. The product was generated from analysis of elements of the northern Brazilian regional identity and the classification of waste from milling of certified wood and forestry residues. It has been observed that much of the wood is discarded or is burned to generate energy. In addition to the amount of wood wasted, two other factors were also analyzed: the first is the possibility of generating value through the culture of the northern region, specifically that of the state of Amazonas, through the manufacturing of products, and the second is to leverage the production of the wood industry. The product is easy to construct and the process can be taught to third parties, since the technical details are presented so as to facilitate its large-scale production
Historical Evolution of the Conceptual Practice Sustainability Terminology
No full textThe article aims to analyze, in a formal historical approach, the conceptual evolution of sustainability terminology, which initially has an essentially ecological interaction, but begins to incorporate social values in its definition when establishing relation with the welfare of future generations. As a result, international society coined the term "sustainable development," which presupposes a preventive action, with practices of governmental regulations associated with initiatives that involve economic growth, social equity and global environmental conservation
The Operational Sustainability of the Firm : The operational performance versus financial solvency binomial - OPFS
No full textThis article presents the research results that assess a firm’s operational sustainability by combining the Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) with the Current Liquidity Ratio (CLR) to present the Operational Performance versus Financial Solvency (OPFS) binomial, using a non-parametric model. The combination of the DOL with the CLR identifies metrics that indicate that a firm operates at full installed capacity and injects synergy at the generation of financial assets. The model was tested with data from standardized financial statements from 48 firms distributed among 6 sectors of the Brazilian economy, from 2007 to 2017. The results obtained suggest that, when a firm operates at full installed capacity, the DOL varies between 1 and 2, and the CLR is higher than the DOL. From the 6 sectors contemplated by the sample, 4 stand out by operating at full installed capacity with the CLR higher than the DOL, and 2 sectors signal some idleness with the DOL above 2 and the CLR lower than the DOL, such as the Public Utilities Sector (PU) indicating the highest efficiency among all. These results are relevant to illustrate that the combination of the DOL with the CLR is robust enough to evaluate a firm’s operational sustainability
Shattering Ethnocentric and Eurocentric Subjectivities in foreign language teaching: A Critical Intercultural Perspective
No full textThe complexity and essence of languages and cultures are unique. People live in culturally built niches based on beliefs, subjectivities, skills, and practices resulting from symbolic and material inheritances passed down from generation to generation. Throughout the qualitative, documentary, and hermeneutical research, it has been feasible to identify that postmodern society has reified the human being. People are considered a means of production and consumption. Besides, the dominant groups impose languages and cultures that they label as prestigious, ignoring that every person is unique and has ideas, values, principles, religions, languages, unrepeatable cultures. This article will describe the process of subjectivation and its relationship with 'technologies of power,' which enforce thoughts, self-concept, and behavior abstractly, subtly, and invisibly. The research results depict that some authors define the English language as dominant, imperialistic, and homogeneous. The article goes further than intellectual elaboration about English language teaching and proposes that educational institutions should be sites where students actively adopt an intercultural, analytical, and critical thinking approach. That way, students learn to discover their identities, value pluralism, research the causes and consequences of domination processes, and are open to diversity without acquiring ethnocentrism or xenophobic ideologies. The article contests neutrality and absolutism in education. It views schools as cultural and political arenas where teachers should support students to understand reality with arguments and reflection, building a more democratic and proactive society. Thinking about education from a humanistic and ethical approach and holding transformative social action in classrooms respond to the chaotic and uneven prevailing world
Pereskia aculeata vibrational model by Raman characterization and DFT method
No full textRaman scattering was used to obtain vibrational modes in a Pereskia aculeata sample. The obtained spectrum was compared with quercetin's theoretical spectra, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, rutinose, caffeic, and tartaric acid, generated from the density functional theory (DFT) method, which used structures of the known composition present in the sample. Among the main compounds, phenolic acids and flavonoids are mentioned. Vibrational signatures, designated as CO and CH group modes, are abundant and bands in the region between 800 and 1800 cm-1. This showed that the theoretical and experimental results had good correspondence between the flavonoids. Statistical observations of correlation and principal component analysis (PCA) were used, which helped in the process of correlation between sample and data obtained. Theoretical spectra have been corrected by a single scale factor of 0.961, and vibrational contributions by the molecular group were via VEDA software

Cytogenetic evaluation of α, β-amirina obtained in resin of Protium heptaphylum (Aubl.) Marchand in polychromatics erythrocytes of mice swiss.
No full textThe Amazon Rainforest has a great variety of medicinal plants, among them we can highlight the “Almecegueira” or “Breu Branco” (Protium heptaphylum) in Portuguese, the producer of a greenish-white resin that hardens when it touches the air, known by its gastroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. These effects are attributed to a triterpene mixture of α and β amirine, predominant in the resin. The purpose of the study is to obtain a cytogenetic profile to the α, β-amirine mixture obtained in the resin of P. heptaphylum. For this, the micronucleus test was used in peripheral blood and bone marrow; administering solution in Swiss mice with the dosages of 1mg/Kg, 3mg/Kg, and 10mg/Kg, diluted in 5% DMSO, the effects were observed in 24h and 48h after the treatment. For the test in peripheral blood the mice’s caudal vein was punctured, while for the bone marrow test, the femurs of the animals were obtained from which bone marrow samples were taken. It was found that in peripheral blood, the administration of the compounds did not cause genotoxicity in 24h and 48h, in contrast, antigenotoxicity was, for concentrations 1; 3 and 10mg/kg, respectively 10%; 12%; 67% in 24h and 9%; 15%; 73% in 48h. In the bone marrow, no genotoxicity was observed, as for antigenotoxicity was observed that for concentrations 1; 3 e 10mg/kg the percentage of reduction was respectively: 11%, 15%, and 30% in 24h and 13% 16% 33% in 48h. It is concluded that the studied compound can be an alternative for treatments in the future since it presents low toxicity and high antigenotoxic potential
