Authors: Hamza Oladimeji , Collins Anuoluwapo , Eweje Adeoluwa , Babatunde Gideon Opeyemi
Published: January 2025

The integration of Agile and DevOps methodologies has emerged as a transformative approach for optimizing processes within the telecommunications industry and business analytics domains. By prioritizing flexibility, collaboration, and continuous improvement, Agile frameworks enable telecom organizations to adapt rapidly to market changes, enhance operational efficiency, and streamline the development of services. The DevOps model, on the other hand, fosters a culture of seamless collaboration between development and operations teams, accelerating software deployment and reducing time-to-market for innovative solutions. In telecom, Agile enables faster response to evolving customer needs, reducing service disruptions and improving user experience. By breaking down complex projects into smaller, manageable tasks, Agile promotes iterative development cycles, ensuring that telecom providers can rapidly adjust offerings based on customer feedback and technological advancements. Similarly, DevOps practices in telecom encourage automation, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistency in system management. This approach is particularly valuable in optimizing network management, enhancing scalability, and ensuring greater uptime and reliability. Business analytics, too, benefits significantly from the integration of Agile and DevOps principles. The speed of data processing and analysis is accelerated, enabling real-time decision-making capabilities. Agile methodologies allow data teams to focus on delivering smaller analytical modules more frequently, thereby improving time-to-insight and enabling better business forecasting. DevOps further enhances this by automating data pipelines, ensuring faster and more accurate data flow from collection to reporting. This facilitates data-driven strategies that enhance overall business performance and competitive positioning. Adopting Agile and DevOps within telecom and business analytics not only drives efficiency but also ensures alignment with contemporary market demands. By embracing these methodologies, organizations can foster a culture of innovation, improve cross-functional collaboration, and enable more responsive and adaptive service delivery. In conclusion, the convergence of Agile and DevOps in these sectors is crucial for advancing process optimization practices, driving long-term growth, and enhancing operational excellence.

Assessment of People’s Attitudes Towards Smoking
Authors: Liu Yubing
Published: January 2025

A practical, thought-provoking quit-smoking advertising campaign can change smokers' attitudes toward smoking and even encourage them to quit. The anti-smoking video that uses guilt appeal and surprise appeal can encourage quitting behavior and thus persuade smokers to make changes. This pre-test/post-test survey used Qualtrics to examine whether the adults over 18 who smoke/vape (N=55) after watching the video could assess people's attitudes toward smoking. In this study, we used t test method to calculate whether the chosen advertisement was persuasively effective. The calculated result indicates that there was a negative attitude change in the designed persuasive messaging. The insufficient attitude change by using video messaging can have various reasons. The participants, mostly young people under 25 and without children, were untouched by the strategies used in the ads. On another hand, guilt appeals may cause the smokers to feel shame and thus have a negative perspective towards the ads.

Teachers' Morality in Universities in the Context of the Rule of Law
Authors: Zhang Nannan
Published: January 2025

The construction of teacher ethics in colleges and universities is the core task of the development of socialist education with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and the frequent problems of teacher ethics in colleges and universities have increasingly become a topic of concern for the whole society. In the context of the rule of law, it is found that at present, the following dilemmas exist in the construction of teacher ethics in colleges and universities in China. Firstly, there is a lack of clear definition of the legal level of the violation of teacher ethics and teacher behavior. Secondly, there is a lack of legal basis for the handling of the violation of teacher ethics and morality, the discretionary range of the handling process is large, and there is a lack of procedural justice, and lastly, it is difficult to prove the evidence and the cost of reporting is high. Based on the above dilemmas, the path of the rule of law for the construction of teacher ethics in colleges and universities in the new era is proposed to maintain the spirit of the rule of law in the handling of teacher ethics issues and to promote the realization of the rule of law.
El poder político en España: parlamentarios y ciudadanía
Authors:   UNED, Coller Porta Xavier , Jaime Castillo Antonio M. ,   Universidad de Málaga, Mota Consejero Fabiola
Published: January 2025

Este libro trata acerca de cómo son los políticos que nos representan, cómo han sido seleccionados y qué carreras políticas han seguido, qué les motiva a entrar (y permanecer) en política, qué hacen en los parlamentos, y qué piensan sobre aspectos clave de la democracia y su funcionamiento, del Estado de las autonomías y de la Unión Europea. Este volumen ofrece también una mirada desapasionada, fundamentada en evidencias, sobre los valores y actitudes que guían las acciones de nuestros representantes. El texto realiza una radiografía del conjunto de personas que toma decisiones por la ciudadanía en las cámaras de representación haciendo una distinción entre partidos y territorios, pero atendiendo también a las diferencias por sexo. Los datos en los que se basa el estudio provienen de la primera encuesta que se realiza a una muestra representativa de los miembros de las 19 cámaras de representación en España. El libro también establece similitudes y diferencias con las opiniones, actitudes y percepciones de la ciudadanía al objeto de observar si hay mucha distancia entre representantes y representados. Se trata de un texto que pone encima de la mesa cuatro brechas importantes que pueden ayudar a explicar la situación política de la España de 2016: perfil social, ideología, identidad colectiva y concepción de la representación política.

Integration Responsibility: The Relationship of National Constitutional Courts to the Court of Justice of the European Union
Authors: Tribl Norbert
Published: January 2025

As long as the peoples of Europe are unable to create a homogeneous, united society, the principle of ‘unity in diversity’ will be a natural limit to the development of the ‘ever closer union’ clause, and this is not a mere philosophical or theoretical argument; it is rather a fact-based inadequacy that must be reflected in the European legal order and the concrete competences and their limits, especially in the relationship between the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European national constitutional and higher courts. The undefined nature of the relationship between European Union (EU) law and national constitutions (resulting from the supranational nature of integration) forced European national constitutional courts to assume a role that could also be seen as a functional change in terms of the entirety of the European constitutional judiciary. The role of these bodies seems to be complemented by a kind of ‘integrational’ function; the European national constitutional courts must no longer only defend their national constitutions but must do so while considering the proper advancement of the integration process. They must act in a manner that upholds the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU) right to an authentic interpretation of the Treaties; however, taking into account that the CJEU, as an institution of the EU, is not entitled to make decisions ultra vires against the framework set by the Treaties.

Authors: Yaing Torres Nissa , Martinez Beatriz , Suárez Gabriela , Matos Gerardo
Published: January 2025

Introducción. Las prácticas de autocuidado y las conductas sustentables han cobrado importancia en los estudiantes de las Ciencias de la Salud, debido a la influencia que tiene en su bienestar. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la relación entre las Conductas Sustentables (autocuidado, equidad, altruismo, frugalidad y conducta pro-ecológica) con el Bienestar Humano (subjetivo y psicológico) de los estudiantes de la División de Ciencias de la Salud. Método. A partir de un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal y correlacional, se encuestaron de manera aleatoria a 230 estudiantes, 167 mujeres (72.6%) y 63 hombres (27.39%) con una media de edad de 20.06 (DE=2.15). Resultados. El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales demostró que las conductas de autocuidado forman parte de las conductas sustentables adicional a las conductas del cuidado de los otros (equidad, altruismo) y el cuidado del ambiente (frugalidad y conducta pro-ecológica) y estas se relacionan positiva y significativamente con el bienestar subjetivo y psicológico. Conclusión. Se concluye que en la medida que los estudiantes realizan conductas de autocuidado, son más proclives a cuidar de otros (pro-socialidad) y proteger y preservar el medio ambiente (pro-ecológica) lo que simultáneamente incrementa su bienestar subjetivo y psicológico.
La lógica de la misericordia en las doctrinas cristianas castellanas del siglo XVI (1532-1558)
Authors: Andújar Rodríguez Lucía
Published: January 2025

En el siglo XVI, la literatura pastoral, especialmente los catecismos, impulsada por el desarrollo de la imprenta, ayudaba a combatir la ignorancia religiosa y a propagar la doctrina cristiana. Uno de los aspectos de esta doctrina era la lógica de la misericordia, destinada tanto al socorro de los necesitados como a la salvación del alma de quien la ejercitase. A partir del análisis de seis catecismos de entre 1532 y 1558 desentrañaremos las ideas y conceptos que componían esta lógica, así como sus implicaciones. Una noción como la limosna, cuestión principal en la beneficencia de la época, constituye aquí uno de los elementos clave. Igualmente, la comprensión de esta dinámica misericordiosa puede emplearse para un estudio más amplio de otro tipo de fenómenos como el hospitalario y de cofradías o la vertiente piadosa de diferentes personajes.
A baskír‒magyar problematika az oroszországi historiográfia tükrében
Authors: Gyóni Gábor
Published: January 2025

A cikkben áttekintésre kerül a baskír‒magyar problematika oroszországi historiográfiája.
A 18. századtól fogva elterjedtté vált a vélemény a baskír-magyar rokonságról, a baskírok ugor eredetéről,
azt is feltételezve, hogy a magyarok részesei voltak Baskíria középkori történetének. 1917 (1919) után megkezdődött az újonnan létrejött Baskír ASzSzK történettudományának intézményesedése, ám az új régészeti
leletek értelmezése kapcsán még sokáig az inercia érvényesült („magyar” vonatkozásban). Az 1930-as
évek terrorja pótolhatatlan veszteségeket okozott a történettudománynak, de például ennek „köszönhető”
az is, hogy a 20. század elejének egyik legnevesebb orosz történésze, M. K. Ljubavszkij is elkezdett foglalkozni a baskír–magyar problémával ufai „száműzetése” idején. Témánk szempontjából talán a legtermékenyebb időszak volt az 1950-es évek második felétől terjedő korszak. Ekkor került elvetésre véglegesen a
baskír-magyar rokonság elképzelése, és jelentősen kiszélesedett a kutatás régészeti és nyelvészeti bázisa.
Az 1970-es évektől megfigyelhető tendencia egy eleinte óvatosan szkeptikus vélekedés a magyarok esetleges baskíriai jelenlétéről, ami a maga logikája szerint kiteljesedve a baskír nemzeti történetírásban immáron tagadja a magyar jelenlétet Baskíria területén (bár továbbra is vannak kutatók, iskolák, melyek ezt
feltételezik). A cikk azt is demonstrálja, hogy még egy ilyen viszonylag szűk téma – mint a baskír–magyar
kérdés – diskurzusát is jelentősen befolyásolják a nagy általános historiográfiai tendenciák.
Baskurt (baskír) epikus hagyomány (kuba-jır)
Authors: Somfai Kara Dávid
Published: January 2025

A baskurt (baskír) szájhagyomány fontos része az epikus hagyomány. Ennek az epikus hagyománynak két fajtája van: a nogaj epikus ciklus és Urál bátor ciklusa. A nogaj epikus hagyomány egyértelműen a baskírok kun-kipcsak kapcsolatát igazolja, mely az általuk beszélt nyelv alapján is egyértelmű.
De az Urál bátor epikus ciklus mitológiai háttere teljesen eltér a többi török népétől. A kipcsak-török
népek (kazak, karakalpak, nogaj, kongrat-özbek) körében elterjedt történeti eposzokkal ellentétben az
Urál bátor mitikus témájú. De míg a dél-szibériai törökök (tuva, hakasz, altaj-telengit) hasonló témájú
eposzainak mitológiai háttere az ótörök mitológia világába vezet el minket, addig az Urál bátor eposznak az iszlám előtti iráni mitológiával (Sáh-náme) vannak párhuzamai. Vajon tudunk-e következtetni a
baskírok etnikus eredetére az epikus hagyomány mitológiai hátterének vizsgálata alapján? A baskírok
esetleges proto-iráni eredete milyen kapcsolatban áll a magyarság kialakulásával?
A magyarok eredete az N-B539 marker tükrében
Authors: Németh Endre , Pásztory Ádám , Fehér Tibor
Published: January 2025

A magyar őstörténeti kutatásokban elsőként azonosítottunk észt kutatók vezetésével egy olyan új markert,
amelynek meghatározó szerepe lehetett a magyar etnogenezisben. Ez a marker az Y-kromoszómán helyezkedik el, N-B539 néven tartják nyilván, és a marker által reprezentált ág nagyjából 4100 éve keletkezett
valahol Dél-Szibériában. Az N-B539 marker 46 eurázsiai populációt vizsgálva nagyobb arányban egyedül
Baskíriában, Tatársztánban, az obi-ugoroknál és a honfoglaló magyar mintákban fordul elő. A legújabb
archeogenetikai eredmények alapján ez a marker a becslések szerint már 69%-ban van jelen Ujelgiben, a
legkeletebbi késő-kusnarenkovói, azaz „magyargyanús” temetőben. Tehát ahogy közeledünk térben és időben a magyar etnogenezis forrásához, úgy nő az N-B539 marker aránya. A jelen tanulmányban az N-B539
marker hordozói szemszögéből vizsgáljuk meg a korai magyarok történetét.

A comunicação de diagnósticos psiquiátricos em crianças e adolescentes apresenta desafios únicos, com impacto significativo na aceitação, adesão ao tratamento e vínculo médico-paciente. Este estudo analisa como os protocolos SPIKES e BREAKS podem aprimorar a transmissão de más notícias nesse contexto ao promover compreensão, redução de impacto emocional e fortalecimento das relações entre profissionais, pacientes e famílias. A metodologia consistiu em uma revisão de literatura com ênfase em publicações de 2000 a 2024, 10 artigos que discutem práticas comunicacionais e percepções familiares foram selecionados. Os resultados destacam problemas recorrentes, como falta de sensibilidade, contradições e linguagem técnica, que agravam o impacto emocional. A aplicação dos protocolos SPIKES e BREAKS mostrou eficácia na organização e humanização da comunicação, ajustando-se às necessidades individuais dos pacientes e familiares. Conclui-se que a formação de profissionais em habilidades técnicas e emocionais é essencial, assim como a personalização da abordagem conforme o nível de maturidade da criança e as particularidades familiares. Apesar de avanços, identificou-se a necessidade de mais estudos sobre a aplicação desses protocolos no campo da psiquiatria infantil.

O retinoblastoma é um tumor ocular maligno comum em crianças, com maior incidência antes dos cinco anos, associado à inativação do gene RB1. A detecção precoce é essencial e pode ser realizada por meio de exames oftamológicos de rotina, que identificam alterações como a leucocoria. No entanto, a falta de conscientização e de profissionais capacitados para o diagnóstico precoce ainda resulta em diagnósticos tardio e na piora do prognóstico. O presente estudo se trata de uma revisão integrativa, elaborada com o método de pesquisa de busca, filtragem e avaliação crítica de dados do arcabouço científico vigente com o objetivo de estabelecer relação entre o diagnóstico precoce do retinoblastoma por meio de exames oftalmológicos. No total, foram encontrados 22 artigos, após leitura aprofundada, foram selecionados 5 que preenchiam os critérios de seleção. Sendo assim, exames como o teste do olhinho e a fundoscopia, aliados ao rastreamento neonatal, aumentam as chances de detecção precoce, garantindo tratamentos mais eficazes e preservação da visão. A descoberta precoce do retinoblastoma, especialmente em crianças até 2 anos, evita tratamentos radicais e melhora o prognóstico, destacando a importância do acompanhamento oftalmológico regular. Contudo, ainda existem desafios como a falta de conscientização e o acesso desigual aos cuidados oftalmológicos.

At the beginning of the breeding season on the Curonian Spit of the Baltic Sea in the vicinity of the Fringilla field station, chicken feathers and dog hair dyed in various colors with household dyes for wool were laid out at different points. During the season, nests of birds with labeled material were searched and were disassembled by components after the nestlings flew out of it. Quantitative data on the mass and structure of the nests of five species of Passerine were obtained, their seasonal dynamics were analyzed, and the distance from which portions of dyed wool and feathers were brought to the nests was measured. It was revealed that the largest distance of material delivery in the great tit (Parus major) (1 km). Willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) and Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) collected at least half of the lining material outside the nest site, moving away from the nest at a distance of up to 140 m.

Published: January 2025

El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar el desempeño financiero de la pequeña y mediana empresa mayorista de aparatos y equipo de uso doméstico en Colombia en el periodo 2017 – 2023, y cotejarlo con la empresa del sector, mediante un análisis estático y de tendencias de indicadores contables y de gestión de valor para un promedio de 28 PYMEs, que permitieron examinar su crecimiento, eficiencia, eficacia y efectividad financiera. Se halló que la PYME creció con fluctuaciones, que fueron más frecuentes en la pequeña empresa; igualmente la empresa del sector creció con oscilaciones. Además, la PYME fue más efectiva en logro de utilidades para inversionistas y propietarios, con una superioridad de la mediana empresa en el rendimiento del activo y una supremacía de la pequeña empresa en el rendimiento del patrimonio; esto en gran parte a que la mediana empresa fue más eficiente en el uso de los activos, mientras que la pequeña empresa fue más eficaz en control de costos y gastos operativos y totales. Sin embargo, la PYME destruyó valor económico agregado, la cual fue mayor en la pequeña empresa en relación con la inversión realizada; lo que contrastó con la empresa del sector que creo valor en este periodo; esto debido a que, aunque en los tres grupos se logró una rentabilidad después de impuestos del activo neto operacional, este no alcanzó a superar el costo de capital en la PYME, como sí ocurrió con la empresa del sector.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, initiated in 2020, generated important changes in educational systems, especially in nursing education. The transition to virtuality negatively impacted educational quality, limiting clinical practices, social interaction and student motivation. In the field of nursing, where technical training is essential, these deficiencies resulted in insufficient clinical skills in students, affecting their preparation to face real patient care scenarios.Development: Recent studies, such as the one conducted at the University of Zacatecas, Mexico, showed that students without access to clinical practice during the pandemic reported deficient clinical skills in fundamental tasks such as probe placement, vital signs management, and medication administration. In response to this problem, an intervention program was designed in a private sanatorium in Rosario for probationary nurses. This project integrated practical workshops, simulation and collaborative learning to strengthen essential technical competencies. The sanatorium's infrastructure and human resources provided a suitable environment to develop this educational strategy, focused on improving care quality and patient safety.Conclusions: This article highlighted the need for comprehensive training strategies that prioritize clinical practice as a response to the shortages generated during the pandemic. The implementation of the program not only strengthened technical skills in new nurses, but also promoted continuing professional development, establishing a replicable model in the health care setting
Simulation of Daylight Using Different Diameter Light Pipes for Optimizing Daylighting in Office Buildings

Published: January 2025

Lighting is crucial for creating energy-efficient and visually comfortable office spaces, especially in deep-plan buildings where natural daylight cannot reach. Light pipes, or tubular daylighting devices, are innovative solutions for bringing daylight into such spaces. They improve indoor environmental quality and reduce artificial lighting. This study investigates the impact of varying light pipe diameters on daylight distribution, uniformity and overall efficiency in office environments. Using advanced simulation tools e.g., EnergyPlus, Open Studio and Radiance, models were developed to analyze light levels under different configurations. The findings reveal that larger diameter light pipes allow more daylight penetration, enhancing illumination levels at the center of spaces while diminishing near the periphery. The findings of this research yields that there exists a trade-off between increased illumination and decreased uniformity. Maximum illuminance of 179 lux was achieved with a 0.50m diameter light pipe, demonstrating its superior performance over smaller diameters. However, larger diameters require more space and higher costs, while smaller ones are less efficient in deep spaces. Uniformity ratios ranged from 0.36 to 0.37, indicating uneven illumination distribution. The study highlights the importance of balancing light pipe diameter with architectural constraints, energy efficiency, and user comfort. These insights provide a basis for designing sustainable office spaces with optimal daylighting strategies, ensuring both energy savings and occupant well-being. As this study systematically investigated the relationship between diameters and illumination levels, this research contributes to the broader body of knowledge on daylighting strategies for architects and engineers in optimizing the design of daylighting systems in buildings.
Comparative Physicochemical Properties of Honey from Apis cerana indica and Apis dorsata Across Different Floral Origins in Khandesh, North Maharashtra, India
Authors: Sawarkar Arun Baburao
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study was to compare the physicochemical properties of honey produced by Apis cerana indica and Apis dorsata from three sites with distinct floral orgins (agriculture, forest, and urban) in Khandesh, North Maharashtra, India. Physicochemical analysis of honey samples was conducted using established methods described by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC 2012), and the protein content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent method. Among the different sources of honey, significant differences were found across honey samples in terms of moisture content, pH, electrical conductivity, ash content, free acidity, protein, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), proline, and diastase activity.
The honey samples from both bee species with different geographical and floral origins had varing ranges of moisture content (15.84%-23.16%), pH values (3.31-4.84), electrical conductivity (0.52-0.96 mS/cm), ash content (0.18%-0.51%), free acidity (26.83-40.18 meq/kg), protein content (1.45-3.05 g/kg), HMF levels (19.38-35.69 mg/kg), proline (223.49- 849.26 mg/kg), and diastase activity (9.46-21.57 DN). Notably, physicochemical parameters were significantly higher in A. dorsata honey than in A. c. indica honey. These variations highlight the influence of floral and geographical origin- on the physicochemical properties of honey. Furthermore, honey collected from forest sites was superior to that collected from agricultural and urban sites. All these values fall within the criteria set by international standards, highlighting the quality and compliance of honey samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed a strong separation between the measured parameters, and was mostly dominated by moisture, pH, EC, ash, free acidity, protein, proline, and diastase.
Cellulase-producing Microorganisms from Diverse Ecosystem: A Review

Published: January 2025

Cellulose is the most abundant organic matter present on the planet. It is made up of glucose molecules which is the ultimate energy currency. Still, cellulose is utilized by most the animals as energy source as they lack necessary enzymes for degradation of the molecule. The animals who are able to utilize cellulose based materials as source of energy are able to do so due to cellulase producing gut microflora. Cellulases are enzymes which are used by certain organisms to breakdown the cellulose. Very small number of organisms are able to produce different types of cellulases which can break the bonds present in cellulose molecules. Only few bacteria, fungi and protozoa have necessary genes for cellulase. It has been found that certain herbivorous insects are also able to synthesize their own cellulase but again this property is very limited in few insect types. The microorganisms who are able to synthesize cellulase are present in soil and water along with certain mammalian and insect guts. In soil and water such microorganisms decompose the dead plant matter containing cellulose and help in maintaining the carbon cycle along with getting energy from the molecule. Apart from ecological activity the cellulases are utilized for various industrial purposes. In the current review we have discussed different types of microorganisms which are able to produce cellulases. The source of such microorganisms are also discussed briefly to place them in the right context.
Challenging the nexus: Integrating Western psychology and African cultural beliefs in South African mental health care

Published: January 2025

This article delves into the unique sociocultural landscape of mental healthcare in South Africa, spotlighting the divergent conceptualisations of mental illness inherent in African and Western cultures. While acknowledging certain similarities, it emphasises the importance of integrating African-centred perspectives into psychology’s training and practice. We contend that the prevailing focus on Western approaches to mental illness not only marginalises indigenous beliefs but also perpetuates the dominance of Western medical paradigms in healthcare systems. This trend risks pathologising the African experience of mental health and narrowing the understanding of African humanity through a lens of psychiatrisation and medicalisation. The article advocates for a more formal, integrative approach to mental healthcare that recognises and incorporates African notions of illness and health, underscoring the centrality of culture in the healing process. Our discourse calls for a paradigm shift towards an integrative model that respects and combines the strengths of both Western and African approaches to mental health, thereby fostering a culturally sensitive, inclusive, and effective mental healthcare system in South Africa.

The experiences of race relations amongst student leaders at a historically white South African university
Authors: Selowa Hlengiwe , Motileng Benny
Published: January 2025

Recent protest movements such as #Rhodesmustfall and #FeesMustFall have highlighted uneasy race relations at South African universities. Although such incidents are crucial, equally important are the everyday realities of race relations that continue to define student lives in these institutions. The purpose of this study was to provide an understanding of student leaders’ experiences of race relations at a historically white South African university. Guided by a qualitative research approach, Critical Race Theory (CRT) was the framework we used to explore race relations amongst student leaders. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit six student leaders across racial groups. They participated in a forty-five-minute semi-structured interview. Interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data. The findings suggest that the history and identities of universities as racially segregated in an unequal society, impacts race relations. Racial discrimination and distrust hamper racial integration in the student body and external political factors also affect student leaders’ experiences of race relations. Our findings do show that friendships present an important opportunity to foster positive race relations, even though friendships are largely class dependent. We recommend that universities invest in personnel diversity training and the creation of platforms for intercultural and interracial exchanges.

Gênero, Sexualidade e Educação: Desafios e Perspectivas
Authors: Alexandre Bruno do Prado
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho aborda de forma breve, aspectos relacionados às questões de gênero e sexualidade na escola. Para tanto, evidencia-se os conceitos preliminares sobre as relações estabelecidas entre as compreensões vigentes de gênero e sexualidade e suas implicações no campo da educação. Demarca-se a escola como um campo privilegiado de produção e reprodução das diferenças, mas também como via de mão dupla, capaz de continuar a (re)produzir preconceitos e estereótipos a partir das questões de gênero, sexualidade ou de marcadores sociais de raça e classe, como também com a potencialidade de desconstruir essas noções por meio de perspectivas críticas e emancipatórias.
