Authors: Wheberth Ana Paula Vilas Boas , Farah Beatriz Francisco
Published: October 2023

Resumo: Introdução: Este artigo baseia-se na dissertação de mestrado do Programa Mestrado Profissional em Saúde da Família (ProfSaúde/MPSF) em parceria com a Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, realizada pela primeira autora, intitulada Educação permanente para médicos da Estratégia de Saúde da Família de um município polo de Minas Gerais, cuja aprovação deu-se em junho de 2021. O artigo evidencia os resultados da pesquisa, cujo método é descrito a seguir. A educação permanente em saúde (EPS) propõe a inserção da aprendizagem no cotidiano e ambiente do trabalho, promovendo a qualificação daqueles que atuam no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Apresenta-se como uma proposta de aprendizagem no trabalho, em que o aprender e o ensinar incorporam-se às práticas diárias das organizações. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar as percepções dos médicos da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), de um município-polo de Minas Gerais, sobre a EPS e suas necessidades. Método: Descritivo e exploratório com abordagem quanti-qualitativa. Participaram 52 médicos da ESF. A coleta de dados foi realizada em duas etapas: na primeira (quantitativa), aplicou-se um questionário com perguntas fechadas e abertas, e, na segunda, realizou-se entrevista semiestruturada. Na etapa quantitativa, os dados foram processados por análise descritiva e, na qualitativa, por meio da análise de conteúdo, do tipo análise temática, utilizando-se do software IRAMUTEQ, e emergiram duas categorias. Resultado: Verificou-se que o perfil médico necessário coaduna com o currículo baseado em competências da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade. De acordo com os participantes, a EPS tem sua origem nas necessidades do trabalho, e há a expectativa de que ela, depois de devidamente desenvolvida, promova as transformações pertinentes. Conclusão: Na realização deste estudo, verificou-se que há prementes necessidades de EPS e que um importante percurso deve ser desenvolvido para que efetivamente o dispositivo seja utilizado, de modo a modificar e qualificar as práticas na ESF.

Published: October 2023

Resumo: Introdução: Estrabismo é uma doença ocular caracterizada pelo desvio dos olhos cujo tratamento pode ser clínico ou cirúrgico. O ensino da cirurgia de estrabismo faz parte do programa de residência médica de oftalmologia, e seu treinamento é realizado mais frequentemente em sala de cirurgia, em situações reais. A aprendizagem ativa por experimentação ou simulação é cada vez mais utilizada na educação em saúde. Relato de experiência: O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever o relato de experiência da utilização de simulação como método de ensino de cirurgia de estrabismo para os médicos residentes do programa de residência de oftalmologia de um hospital universitário. Discussão: A simulação é um tipo de metodologia ativa que permite ao residente conquistar habilidades cirúrgicas por meio da repetição em ambiente seguro, de modo a diminuir as taxas de complicações cirúrgicas. Diferentemente de outros simuladores com tecnologia avançada para treinamento de cirurgia intraocular, nosso modelo de olho é uma ferramenta simples, de baixo custo e de fácil acesso e manuseio. A portabilidade e facilidade no manuseio permitem que o residente pratique as etapas com mais frequência desenvolvendo a memória com as etapas cirúrgicas. Conclusão: O ensino da cirurgia oftalmológica é uma tarefa desafiadora, e a utilização de métodos de aprendizagem ativa, como a simulação, é uma alternativa para o treinamento de habilidades cirúrgicas, com o propósito de diminuir as taxas de complicações.
Adaptive Laboratory Evolution to obtain lactic acid bacteria strains of industrial interest - a review
Authors: Tirloni Luana , Heidrich Daiane , Souza Claucia Fernanda Volken de
Published: October 2023

Abstract The purpose of this review was to describe how adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) can provide improvement to lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains for their application in industrial biotechnological processes. This review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) approach, incorporating the ScienceDirect and Scopus databases. The literature search yielded 4,167 (ScienceDirect) and 27 (Scopus) articles, which were reduced to 12 after applying the inclusion /exclusion criteria. The studies revolved around LAB of the genera Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc and Enterococcus and the application of ALE experiments in batch mode, fed-batch mode, or both, and aimed to produce strains with increased lactic acid production capabilities, higher cell viability, and multiple-stress tolerance. The studies demonstrated that ALE is an efficient approach for strain modification towards desired phenotypic functions and does not require genetic engineering. Knowledge of the cellular and molecular responses of microorganisms to stress enables an understanding of the adaptation mechanisms of LAB strains for survival and increased production of metabolites throughout ALE experiments.

Resistencias a la inclusión en las escuelas chilenas en el contexto de la Ley de Inclusión
Authors: Cornejo-Espejo Juan
Published: October 2023

RESUMEN A través de una reflexión crítica, el artículo aborda las principales trabas y resistencias que enfrenta la inclusión educativa en Chile, en el contexto de la implementación de la Ley 20.845/2015 de inclusión escolar. Para una mejor comprensión, el texto se organiza en cinco secciones, partiendo de una introducción que contextualiza el problema de estudio en el marco de las discusiones nacionales e internacionales acerca del tema. La primera sección está centrada en la normativa legal vigente que regula los programas de integración escolar (PIE), e intenta develar algunas limitaciones y restricciones de esa misma norma. La segunda sección trata los obstáculos estructurales más frecuentes (infraestructura insuficiente o inadecuada, escasez de equipamiento y falta de preparación del profesorado para trabajar con la diversidad). La tercera sección aborda las trabas ideológicas que comprometen el futuro de la inclusión educativa en el país, derivadas del modelo médico o de ciertos sesgos culturales y religiosos. Por último, en las reflexiones finales, se esbozan algunos de los principales hallazgos del estudio, entre los que destacan las limitaciones que implica el predominio del modelo médico, los distintos grados de avance en los procesos de integración escolar y la falta de una ley efectivamente inclusiva.
Os povos do campo nos Planos Diretores dos Municípios da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba: educação e escola pública
Authors: Buczenko Gerson Luiz , Souza Maria Antônia de
Published: October 2023

RESUMO Este artigo resulta da pesquisa sobre os povos do campo nos planos diretores dos Municípios da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba (RMC). O objetivo é compreender qual lugar têm os povos do campo e os territórios rurais no plano diretor municipal. A pesquisa tem natureza documental, com centralidade na análise do conteúdo de cada plano diretor municipal. Pauta-se no materialismo histórico-dialético para revelar a contradição na elaboração dos planos diretores municipais, cuja ênfase é dada no rural esvaziado dos sujeitos que são os povos do campo. Portanto, há direitos sociais que são fragilizados no campo, dentre eles o educacional. A conclusão é de que o campo e os sujeitos trabalhadores que nele vivem têm tratamento incipiente ou ausente nos planos diretores, o que gera impactos nas políticas sociais, como a educação, cujas escolas têm sido fechadas anualmente no campo e têm sido pauta de luta de coletivos estaduais e nacionais.
Literatura no currículo de Pedagogia: um território em disputa?
Authors: Saldanha Diana Maria Leite Lopes , Amarilha Marly
Published: October 2023

RESUMO Este artigo discute e analisa o ensino de literatura nos cursos de Pedagogia de 27 universidades federais brasileiras. Adota a abordagem descritiva-analítica. A leitura de literatura permanece um tema recorrente em discussões de âmbito educacional. É uma prática que permite a interação entre os sujeitos das diversas sociedades e colabora na constituição do ser humano. Partindo dessa assertiva, o ensino de literatura deve estar inserido nos currículos dos pedagogos, que são os primeiros professores de crianças. Os dados revelam que a maioria das universidades oferta a disciplina em caráter optativo, demonstrando a frágil presença da literatura na formação de professores e ratificando a ideia de currículo como território de poder e disputa. A oferta da disciplina como optativa não garante sua efetivação, pois depende de uma série de circunstâncias relacionadas à dinâmica das instituições, tornando-se um atalho. A análise de instituições das regiões Nordeste e Sudeste, delimitação deste artigo, demonstrou um número significativo de graduandos que deixam de cursar a disciplina, quando há a oferta como optativa. De fato, algumas universidades não têm condições de assegurar essa oferta e de proporcionar esse conhecimento teórico-metodológico aos graduandos. A lacuna deixada na formação repercutirá na atuação do futuro pedagogo. É preciso uma mudança de proposta curricular para legitimar e garantir um conhecimento que é fundamental na formação dos primeiros professores, mas tem percorrido atalhos para se efetivar.
Intercâmbio pedagógico e estratégias educativas nos deslocamentos de um educador brasileiro às regiões do sul do Brasil e do Rio da Prata (1923-1927)
Authors: Amorim Sara Raphaela Machado de , Pires Raquel Lopes , Nascimento Francinaide de Lima Silva
Published: October 2023

RESUMO Compreender o intercâmbio pedagógico e a constituição de estratégias educativas a partir da experiência de viagem de Nestor dos Santos Lima é o objetivo deste artigo. No ano de 1923, o educador norte-rio-grandense foi comissionado pelo governo do seu estado para observar organizações escolares nas localidades pertencentes ao então sul do país: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo. Por decisão própria, modificou o itinerário, ampliando os roteiros de destino e dirigindo-se rumo à região do Rio da Prata, onde visitou instituições de ensino primário, normal e profissional na Argentina e no Uruguai. Após seu retorno, elaborou um relatório onde compartilhou as iniciativas que considerou proveitosas e que seriam passíveis de realização no Rio Grande do Norte. Para a compreensão desse movimento de circulação de saberes, práticas e da produção da educação após a travessia, operamos com a perspectiva transnacional no campo da História da Educação, dialogando com autores como Vidal (2020), Roldán Vera e Fuchs (2021), além de estudos que versam sobre experiências educativas de sujeitos viajantes em suas possibilidades investigativas e historiográficas, tais como os escritos de Mignot e Gondra (2007) e Cardoso e Moraes (2014). No trato teórico-metodológico, dedicamo-nos não só ao conhecimento das vivências e experimentações, mas também aos critérios para a elaboração das ações que empreendeu na educação potiguar após sua volta ao solo pátrio.

Conclusion In the geriatric population of the present study, with the majority of the participants having tested positive for Covid-19, the risk of dysphagia was associated with signs suggestive of sarcopenia, nutritional status and frequency of oral hygiene.
Guyana: Oil, Internal Disputes, the USA and Venezuela
Authors: Padula Raphael , Cecílio Matheus de Freitas , Oliveira Igor Candido de , Prado Caio Jorge
Published: October 2023

Abstract Abstract: Guyana has a strategic geographic position in the Amazon and the Greater Caribbean area, as revealed in the strategic thinking and military presence of the United States (USA). Its territory also possesses abundant natural resources, especially after the recent and significant oil discoveries, having the American company ExxonMobil as protagonist. Meanwhile, the country is characterised by a domestic political and ethnic cleavage. In addition, Venezuela and Guyana are in a historical dispute for the Essequibo area, which is potentially endowed and surrounded by areas with strategic resources. The main argument of the paper is that the oil discoveries in Guyana are leading to geopolitical and geoeconomic impacts regarding the intensification of domestic and foreign disputes, involving American and Venezuelan interests and recent state actions. More broadly, it points out that the north of South America has become one of the stages of the global power strife, in view of the Sino-Russian and American presences, in a context of Brazil’s absence. To survey and evaluate the actors’ actions resulting from the oil findings in Guyana, the paper is based on geopolitical and geoeconomic concepts, energy data, specialised academic and journalistic bibliography.
Development and the Dispute Settlement Body of the World Trade Organization: a survival analysis
Authors: Carvalho Samuel Rufino de , Lucena Andréa Freire de
Published: October 2023

Abstract This paper analyses whether the level of development affects a state’s participation in the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The methodology relies on the Survival Analysis with two different tools. First, the Kaplan-Meier Curve, which indicates the survival time of an individual until the occurrence of an event, was plotted. Thereafter, the Cox Regression was used. This tool associates Survival Analysis to linear regression in order to examine the impacts of some independent variables on the time until the occurrence of the observed events. The results showed that states with higher levels of GDP and HDI, and with a larger population, have more chances of initiating a dispute and being a respondent. Likewise, the American and the European continents are more likely to experience these events. Developed and Developing countries experience the incidence of an event more easily when compared to Least Developed Countries.
Non-tariff Protectionism in Mercosur: Analysis and Recommendations on the Last Three Decades
Authors: Lauria Lucas Baggi de Mendonça
Published: October 2023

Abstract This paper aims to discuss and demonstrate the non-tariff challenges to Mercosur’s trade integration. Its Common External Tariff (CET) and exceptions will be discussed, as well as the evolution of its non-tariff protectionism framework in the last three decades. This is an unprecedented exploratory exercise on all 5019 non-tariff measures (NTM) notified by Mercosur members to the WTO from 1995 to 2020. As main results, we see that (i) members with fewer exceptions to the CET are the ones that most use NTMs to protect their markets; (ii) the stock of NTMs targeted at members and non-members varies accordingly; (iii) of the 10 countries most targeted by NTMs imposed by Mercosur members, its own members figure in the 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th positions; (iv) the bloc lacks deep regulatory harmonization, especially with regard to sanitary and phytosanitary barriers in 11 sectors. Based on these results, two critical policy action plans are suggested to the bloc.

Authors: Benavides-Moreno Nibaldo , Donoso-Díaz Sebastián , Reyes-Araya Daniel
Published: October 2023

Resumen Chile impulsa desde hace tres décadas políticas de mayor calidad en Educación inicial, cuya sostenibilidad demanda -entre otros factores- reforzar los procesos de gestión de aula en los centros educativos, dado su impacto en la calidad de la enseñanza, materia en la cual se dispone de insuficientes antecedentes sistemáticos. Atendiendo a esta situación, se indagan obstáculos y demandas -en este ámbito- que las educadoras de primera infancia estiman significativas, con el objeto de proponer políticas para su mejoramiento. Para ello, se desarrolla un estudio descriptivo-cualitativo, con entrevistas semiestructuradas a una muestra de 40 educadoras de trayectoria laboral relevante en aula, que se desempeñan en establecimientos de alta vulnerabilidad (superiores al 50%), de la región del Maule (Chile). El análisis evidencia sus prácticas de gestión del aula, destacando la importancia de mejorar en esta materia, fortaleciendo logros y estrategias formativas. Los hallazgos principales dan cuenta que el aprendizaje de niños y niñas es una materia clave de las educadoras de aula, como también su disposición a aprender nuevas metodologías de enseñanza y de trabajo en equipo, conformando parte de los lineamientos de políticas para potenciar su desempeño.

Abstract Seeking improvements in graduation rates, success, and reduction in retention of undergraduate students support regional development. Our article, through a case study, aims to identify whether factors related to faculty members, and students impact the approval rates of the undergraduate course in the management processes of a public educational institution in southern Brazil. In the quantitative analysis carried out, it was noticed that factors related to faculty members, such as degree (just undergraduate, master, or Ph.D.), type of employment (permanent or temporary), and having a degree with a teaching diploma, do not impact the approval rates. However, factors related to students influence the approval rate, for example, attendance rates in the classroom and the age of students influence approval rates. Students with a higher frequency in the classroom and students over 30 have higher approval rates than the others. This work helped to identify factors impact negative approval rates, for example, younger students and the frequency of students in the classroom have lower approval rates in the subjects.

Authors: Feldmann Marina Graziela , Libório Andréia Regina Silva Cabral
Published: October 2023

Resumo O presente artigo versa a respeito de um estudo acerca do acesso dos/as estudantes quilombolas na Educação Superior, a partir de pesquisas (teses e dissertações) na área e da análise de relatos de estudantes quilombolas no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, em uma Instituição da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. Apresenta como objetivo geral investigar políticas afirmativas de acesso e permanência para estudantes quilombolas e específico, refletir sobre a vivência desses estudantes, durante o Ensino remoto em tempos pandêmicos. A metodologia fundamenta-se na abordagem qualitativa de cunho bibliográfico e análise de documentos, com base no mapeamento de estudos já realizados e narrativas de estudantes quilombolas. Os resultados apontam para a invisibilidade de determinados grupos sociais, como os quilombolas, nas pautas, dados e políticas públicas tanto de acesso quanto de permanência. Além disso, evidenciou-se a insuficiência no atendimento desses estudantes por meio do Programa de Bolsa Permanência do Ministério da Educação, dificultando ainda mais sua presença na universidade, sobretudo no período de crise sanitária.

Published: October 2023

Resumo Este artigo analisa a formação internacional de Maria Palmira Macedo Tito de Morais, como bolsista da Fundação Rockefeller no campo da enfermagem, durante o Estado Novo português. Compreende-se de que forma os contextos locais influenciaram as ações da agência filantrópica internacional, o que culminou em disputas com a Organização Mundial da Saúde pela presença da enfermeira portuguesa em seus quadros. São utilizados como fonte dois dossiês sobre Maria Tito de Morais e seus dois cartões de bolsista, coletados no Rockefeller Archive Center, um relatório da Direção Geral de Saúde de Portugal e o periódico A Tribuna, consultado na Hemeroteca Digital brasileira. Conclui-se que as estratégias utilizadas pela Fundação Rockefeller, ao financiar a formação de Maria Tito de Morais com o intuito de cooptá-la para seu staff, não garantiram o controle sobre sua trajetória profissional.

In conclusion, the Rockefeller Foundation’s strategies, when funding Maria Tito de Morais’ education aiming to hire her did not guarantee control over her professional trajectory.
Teorías subjetivas de profesores universitarios sobre el rol docente
Authors: Gutiérrez Villa Gloria , Rosa Cormack María Isabel La
Published: October 2023

Resumen El estudio sobre las teorías subjetivas de los docentes universitarios se ha vuelto relevante por la transformación que están teniendo las instituciones educativas y el efecto que estas tienen sobre la práctica pedagógica. Los docentes universitarios no se encuentran necesariamente preparados para afrontar estos cambios ni poseen suficientes espacios para la reflexión sobre el rol que deben ejercer. Al ser las teorías subjetivas cogniciones de estructura hipotética que orientan el comportamiento y se basan en las experiencias prácticas de las personas, se propuso como objetivo de esta investigación comprender las teorías subjetivas sobre su rol en la docencia de profesores universitarios de una carrera de gestión. Para ello, se contó con dos profesores universitarios expertos y dos docentes noveles, con quienes se realizó una entrevista semi estandarizada, una observación de sus clases y, posteriormente, la aplicación de una técnica de generación de estructura para que los participantes puedan manifestar su grado de acuerdo con las teorías formuladas. Las principales teorías subjetivas sobre el rol docente abordaron el rol de los participantes como profesores, investigadores, tutores, asesores, orientadores y su rol en la responsabilidad social. La principal conclusión fue que las teorías subjetivas de docentes expertos se basan en la reflexión de sus experiencias de vida en general, mientras que la de los docentes noveles, en la réplica o aplicación de sus experiencias escolares, universitarias o de posgrado. Esto se debe a que los docentes expertos han tenido la oportunidad de hacer un importante acopio de experiencias, reflexionar sobre sus teorías subjetivas y tomar decisiones que les permitan abordar de manera práctica los desafíos pedagógicos con los que se encuentran, mientras que los docentes noveles, al no haber tenido un amplio derrotero docente, se basan en sus experiencias como estudiantes y, desde allí, es que dirigen su acción pedagógica. Por tanto, las teorías subjetivas contribuyen a la comprensión sobre los roles que han construido los docentes expertos y noveles al enfrentar los nuevos retos que trae consigo la docencia universitaria en el siglo XXI.

ABSTRACT Introduction: In March 2020, WHO officially decreed that the world was going through a pandemic, that of Covid-19. In May 2022, in Brazil, the end of measures to deal with the pandemic was decreed. In 2022, there was a movement to return to normal care in the provision of care. Objective: In the present study, we carried out a retrospective descriptive analysis of the epidemiological scenario of the ward of the Spine Group at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidade de São Paulo (HC-FMUSP). Method: Data analysis was performed from information gathered in patients’ medical records. Results: In the analyzed period, there were 152 consultations in hospitalization, with the main cause being spinal trauma. Of all the cases, only 23.68% were scheduled on an elective basis, which despite being a lower than expected number, was shaped by the demands of urgent care channeled to the service in question. Conclusion: Despite a higher number of cases hospitalized in the post-pandemic period, there is still the expectancy of more elective cases to be treated in the future.

Key drivers for big data adoption in the Dominican Republic construction industry
Authors: Reyes-Veras Paola , Renukappa Suresh , Suresh Subashini
Published: October 2023

Construction methods have barely changed since the last industrial revolution, but new project requirements are subject to change every day. Including sustainability and new technologies that produce user and environmentally friendly projects is now a requirement in almost every country. Big data (BD) are mainly characterised by improving the decision making process through data analysis. Adopting BD in the construction industry is expected to impact efficiency positively in design and construction activities. However, it requires a change in the industry’s culture and the adoption of digital approaches to be implemented fully. This paper addresses the key drivers for the adoption of BD in the construction industry of the Dominican Republic. Qualitative research was implemented to explore the topic due to the scarce information available. Twenty-one semi-structured interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. In some cases, the participants provided their points of view based on their experience with similar technologies such as building information modelling and ‘Internet of things’. The data analysis identified nine critical drivers, classified as internal and external. The internal drivers are knowledge of BD benefits to the organisation, impact on competitiveness, technology awareness, solution to company’s needs, organisation’s technology-driven culture and client’s requirements. Similarly, the internal drivers are industry motivation, regulatory framework and technology change adaptability. This paper sheds light on the motivations behind adopting BD and helps understand the industry’s needs. It also delivers evidence on the need for improved training for present and future professionals focused on developing digital skills.

Morphology of hybrid marine turtles Caretta caretta x Chelonia mydas
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Couper Patrick , FitzSimmons Nancy , Houlihan Siobhan , Amey Andrew , Limpus Duncan , Limpus Colin
Published: October 2023

We report on Caretta caretta x Chelonia mydas hybrid hatchlings that emerged from successive nests laid by a female Loggerhead Turtle (C. caretta) at Mon Repos, south-east Queensland, during the 1990–91 breeding season. We provide details of the parent female’s breeding history, which includes multiple paternity and genetic confirmation of her hybrid offspring. Three hybrid hatchlings were raised in captivity to assess whether scalation could be used to identify hybrid turtles in field studies. One captive hybrid died at 29 years of age, allowing an assessment of its reproductive status and examination of its skeletal anatomy. Two of the captive individuals were determined to be infertile. The reproductive status of the third individual was not determined. The external and skeletal morphology of the hybrids is discussed and illustrated. We show that atypical symmetrical scalation is diagnostic for C. caretta x C. mydas hybrids, as are various buccal and skeletal characters.

The article analyzes the socio-political situation in Crimea in 2014 at the beginning of the Russian armed aggression. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to study the methods of hybrid warfare used by the Russian aggressor against Ukraine. At present, there is no doubt in modern Ukrainian society that the seizure of Crimea was another aggressive act of the Russian Federation on the way to unleashing an insidious war aimed at eliminating Ukrainian statehood. In early 2014, Russian special services organized illegal anti-Ukrainian protests in Crimea, supported by local collaborators. Pro-Russian sections of the Ukrainian local population, with the support of the Russian military and special services, seized administrative buildings of local authorities, blocked Ukrainian military units and obstructed the work of law enforcement agencies. The leading role in those destabilizing actions belonged to Russian curators, and local collaborators did not deny their secondary role. With the assistance of the Russian special services, local collaborators managed to hold an illegal so-called «referendum» on the separation of Crimea from Ukraine, which was a political method to legalize actions to destroy Ukrainian statehood in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. All of the above took place in the context of a complete loss of control over the socio-political situation by local authorities and law enforcement agencies and complicated involvement of Ukrainian military forces. Despite Ukraine’s efforts to stabilize the situation through political means, the Russian Federation did not take appropriate measures and continued to act as a destabilizing factor in Crimea. The subsequent events of 2014 demonstrated that the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea led to an escalation of social tension in the southeastern regions of Ukraine, which subsequently led to an open armed conflict in Donbas.

The modern world is witnessing mass migration, including refugees from Ukraine seeking subsidiary protection in various countries, including Slovakia. This article is dedicated to exploring a crucial aspect of the lives of Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia, namely, the role of employment in their cultural adaptation. The author analyzes how gaining employment influences their ability to successfully integrate into a new environment, as well as how it impacts the formation of cultural connections between Ukrainians and Slovaks. The article also examines the factors affecting this process, identifying challenges that arise during employment. It investigates how Ukrainian refugees integrate into Slovak society through their employment and how this contributes to an improved quality of life and fosters favorable conditions for mutual understanding. Based on the research findings, recommendations are formulated to develop initiatives aimed at supporting the cultural adaptation of Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia through improving employment conditions and integration into the labor market. Cultural adaptation of Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia largely depends on their success in the labor market. Critical factors include the ability to find employment, receive fair compensation, integrate into the local community through work, and adapt linguistically. Ukrainian refugees have opportunities for employment, but they often face challenges such as low wages, difficulties in recognizing qualifications, and various socio-cultural barriers. Employment significantly influences the integration of Ukrainian refugees into Slovak society, aiding them in acquiring new cultural norms and interacting with local residents. To enhance the cultural adaptation of refugees in Slovakia, it is essential to intensify language learning support, establish professional training and retraining programs, facilitate the recognition of qualifications, and enhance adaptation support within local communities. Overall, the cultural adaptation of Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia is a complex process requiring further in-depth research. However, ensuring access to employment and providing support in the labor market can significantly ease this process and promote integration into a new society.
