THE BODY AS A DISCOURSE BETWEEN CAPOEIRA AND SCIENCE EDUCATION: POSSIBLE INTERCULTURAL GINGAS
Authors: SANTOS TARYN SOFIA ABREU DOS , KATO DANILO SEITHI
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper was to build intercultural gingas between traditional Afro-Brazilian knowledge and science education, considering the educational processes expressed through the body. Ginga is a bodily representation that expresses negotiation in capoeira. In this way, intercultural gingas constitute dialogues based on the theoretical frameworks of critical interculturalism. They were outlined through research carried out at the Master's level, in a community with remaining African ancestry that receives the intervention of the Green Room, an extension action of the Federal University of Bahia within the scope of Science Education. The territory experiencing the quilombola certification process is São Francisco do Paraguaçu (Bahia) and since 2014 has been affected by this proposal anchored in the assumptions of Science, Technology, and Society. Empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews with capoeira masters in the region, based on their discursive references to traditional Afro-Brazilian knowledge, and scientific literature. These lenses made it possible to monitor the pedagogical mediations performed by the Green Room with residents, in the course during an ethnographic immersion as conceptualized by Restrepo. The interface of this relationship was conceived from the perspective of the body as a socio-historical discourse in Bakhtin's conceptions, resulting in intercultural gingas of dissensus that deny racial-ethnic difference, and mark it based on inferior hierarchical, and gingas of consensus that treat cultural difference with reciprocity.

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to assess the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between social support and academic burnout among undergraduate students. To do so, a cross-sectional study was conducted with undergraduate students enrolled at a public university in Paraná, Brazil, who participated in the GraduaUEL project - Analysis of Health and Lifestyle Habits of Undergraduates at the State University of Londrina, interviewed in 2019. The dependent variable of this study was academic exhaustion, measured using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory questionnaire (CBI-S). The independent variable was social support, measured using the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS), and the mediating effect of resilience was assessed using the CD-RISC-10 scale. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to obtain the model with the best-fitting model using Mplus software, with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Total social support significantly and positively influenced resilience, while resilience had a significantly negative effect on burnout. It was observed that the direct effect of social support on burnout and the indirect effect of social support on burnout through resilience were both significant, with resilience mediating this relationship by approximately 54.9%. In conclusion, social support and resilience impact academic burnout; thus, reducing university students’ exhaustion can be achieved by enhancing both social support and resilience among them.

Authors: Mendonça Ricardo Fabrino , Filgueiras Fernando , Almeida Virgílio
Published: January 2025

Resumo: Algoritmos podem ser vistos como um novo tipo de instituição nas sociedades contemporâneas, configurando relações de poder e regras que balizam contextos de agência humana. Baseado no conceito de desidentificação, de Jaques Rancière, e de infrapolítica, de James Scott, este artigo explora as possibilidades de resistência cotidiana ao poder dos algoritmos. O artigo reconstrói elementos da interação entre humanos e sistemas computacionais e a forma como algoritmos representam um conjunto de regras que moldam diversos elementos da agência humana. Assim, formas de resistência ao poder dos algoritmos emergem como elementos centrais da política no mundo digital. O artigo examina três formas de resistência por meio de repertórios de práticas sociais emergentes: a anonimização, o engano e a confrontação de sensores e desidentificação de corpos. Com base nesses três tipos de resistência infrapolítica, o artigo teoriza sobre a política dos algoritmos e como humanos jogam com os algoritmos em diferentes situações cotidianas.

ABSTRACT Shading limits pecan development, production, and quality in high-density orchards. In this study, we evaluated responses to hedge and central pruning given by ‘Pitol 1’ pecan trees implanted in high-density orchards regarding dry branches, production, and quality of fruit. The experiment was conducted in five cycles and had a randomized block design that included the following treatments: 1) no pruning, 2) hedge pruning, and 3) central pruning. The number of dry branches, production and yield, production efficiency, and variables of fruit quality were evaluated. Central pruning led to a 33.7% decrease in the number of dry branches. Hedge and central pruning enabled 37.2% and 39.9% increase in the mean production of trees, respectively. Hedge and central pruning decreased the number of fruits per kg and resulted in higher percentages of fruits in classes of larger sizes. Central pruning decreased the number of dry branches, whereas both hedge and central pruning increased fruit production and quality. Central and hedge pruning improved pecan production and quality in high-density orchards.

Published: January 2025

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a ubiquitous nosocomial bacterium, which confers hospital-associated infections ranging from moderate to life-threatening disorders. The pathogenicity of the microorganism is attributed to various camouflage mechanisms harbored in its genome. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains have become significant pathogens in nosocomial and community settings. In the current study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of S. aureus, and more specifically, MRSA at different departments in four major hospitals in Jordan. A total of 500 inanimate surfaces located in the intensive care unit ICU, kidney department, surgery department, internal department, sterilization department, burn department, and operation department were swabbed. All isolates were identified by using routine bacterial culture, Gram staining, and a panel of biochemical tests such as; catalase, coagulase, DNase, urease, oxidase, and hemolysin production were performed. In terms of PCR, three main genes were screened, the 16S rRNA gene targeting Staphylococcus spp as a housekeeping gene, the coA gene was used as a specific gene to detect S. aureus, and the mecA gene used to identify MRSA isolates. Results revealed the prevalence of Staphylococcus spp was 212 (42.4%), S. aureus prevalence by coA gene 198 (39.6%), and MRSA by mecA gene in 81 samples (16.2%). There was a strong positive connection (P < 0.01) found between department site and bacterial contamination. It was concluded that inanimate hospital environments contain a relatively high number of S. aureus and MRSA. Proper sterilization techniques, infection prevention, and control management strategies should be implemented.

Abstract Dissostichus eleginoides is a benthopelagic, carnivorous fish from circumpolar antarctic waters. It is a deep sea fish distributed up to 2500 m and reaching up to 200 kg, 2 m total length and over 50 years of lifespan. Although it is of commercial interest, with prices between 14-35 US$/kg, studies that allow its cultivation are scarce. D. eleginoides is considered to have a slow metabolism since it lives at low temperatures (2-11 °C) and high pressures (100-250 atmospheres). However, there are no records of their routine aerobic metabolism (or any in fact) and of their mass scaling in tanks captivity on the surface, being the aims of this study. Routine metabolism was measured in fish groups from 3 sizes, a) 2.31 ± 0.08 kg, b) 4.67 ± 0.06 kg and c) 8.97 ± 1.89 kg in two respirometry chambers allowing to perform closed respirometry. The average metabolic rate was 42.91 ± 0.48, 38.61 ± 2.64 and 35.35 ± 1.58 mg O2 kg-1 h-1 along fish sizes, with significant differences between sizes. The calculated scaling exponent was 0.85, similar to that reported for other cold-water fish species measured at the surface. Results show oxygen consumption rates, under surface pressure conditions, comparable to those of G. morhua and salmonids, which allows, preliminarily, to reject the initial hypothesis of a slow metabolism. Although the results are preliminary, they are the first to report on the routine metabolism of this species, making them relevant for future studies. Culture densities of 87.38, 57.77 and 64.92 kg m-3 were estimated for groups a, b and c presenting important advantages and new perspectives for the cultivation of D. eleginoides.

Abstract The lesser-grison (Galictis cuja) is a mustelid native to South America with an wide, but its diet remains poorly understood. The present study combines published data with new information on the diet of G. cuja from the semiarid Caatinga ecoregion, based on the analysis of the stomach contents of two road-killed specimens. Sixteen studies, conducted in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay, were reviewed, permitting the identification of seven dietary categories: Invertebrates, Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fish, and Plant Material. Mammals and birds were the items consumed most frequently, while amphibians and fish were the least common items. The novel items identified in the Caatinga sample included the white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris), white tegu eggs (Salvator merianae), and melon seeds (Cucumis melo L.). The data indicate that G. cuja has a diverse diet, with mammals present in 100% of the diets analyzed, reflecting the role of the species as a mesopredator and potential seed disperser. The lack of data from a number of different ecoregions highlights the need for further research to better understand the ecological role of the species, and to develop effective conservation strategies, given that the current knowledge on the diet of G. cuja may not best represent its ecological importance and the challenges faced by the species in impacted environments.

Abstract Limited resources and inadequate surveillance systems in developing countries have hindered research on antibiotic resistance gene transfer in aquatic environments. In this context, our study aimed to identify extended-spectrum beta-lactamase gene variants in Gram-negative isolates from the Tipitapa River—a significant Central America ecosystem. Samples were collected and assessed for key water parameters: dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, pH, and temperature. We employed a mix of microbiological, biochemical and molecular techniques, including multiplex PCR and sequencing, to characterize bacteria and determine the bla gene variants. Water quality parameters indicated areas impacted by human activities with high mineralization and eutrophication conditions. Among the bacteria analyzed, 48% belonged to the Enterobacteriaceae family, and a significant 88% displayed extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. Sequencing revealed four distinct bla gene variants in 84% of the isolates: bla-SHV-24, bla-SHV-13, bla-TEM-1, and bla-TEM-116, with bla-SHV-24 being the most common (47.62%). This is the first report of bla gene variants in the Tipitapa River, revealing their presence in globally concerning bacteria. The robust methodology enhances surveillance, enables geographic profiling of bla gene variants, and improves our understanding of biochemical patterns and gene transmission dynamics, providing essential insights into the global distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in Central America's natural waters.

Published: January 2025

Abstract Information about the reproductive biology of fish assemblages is limited, particularly for coastal basins in Northeast Brazil. However, this information is crucial for understanding species' life histories and informing conservation strategies and management actions. The scarcity of studies on the reproductive patterns of stream fish highlights a significant research gap, as this knowledge is essential for the effective conservation of these ecosystems. This study aimed to assess the reproductive intensity of fish assemblages from streams that are part of two drainages of the Contas River basin (Upper Contas and Gongogi River drainages), which are located in two distinct biomes (Caatinga and Atlantic Forest, respectively) in the Northeast Brazil. The fish were collected between November 2012 and November 2013 in four quarterly expeditions that encompassed one seasonal cycle. The captures were conducted by electric fishing in 18 sampling sites, nine in the Upper Contas River drainage and nine in the Gongogi River drainage. We obtained the reproductive intensity index (RII) of the studied assemblage, being the values compared between expeditions, drainages, and sampling sites. The highest values of RII were observed between November/December and February/March in both drainages, which demonstrated that the highest reproductive intensity was associated to the rainy season. In the Upper Contas River streams, the reproductive peak intensity seems to be synchronized to the beginning of the rainy season, while in the Gongogi River drainage streams, the reproductive intensity remains high throughout the entire rainy season. Regarding spatial variation, the highest RII values were observed in smaller streams, probably associated with a more restricted species distribution in these locations. Our results indicate that the assessed streams play a crucial role in the reproduction of many fish species, as evidenced by the high reproductive intensity observed, particularly within the fish assemblage of the Upper Contas River.

Abstract The local communities in Pakistan's remote mountainous regions possess a unique and rich treasure trove of ethnoveterinary knowledge regarding an indigenous medicinal plant that has been passed down through generations for centuries. In these hilly areas, where basic facilities are lacking, residents primarily depend on local plants to treat various veterinary health issues. The aim of our research is to chronicle, explore, and quantitatively assess ethnoveterinary knowledge. The current study documents the use of ethnoveterinary plant medicine for curing different animal ailments. The majority of animal diseases are treated with local herbal medicines extracted from plants. To identify traditional remedies, the survey and information were collected from locals and farmers. Ethnoveterinary information was obtained through semi-structured interviews with 133 informants who were randomly selected from 17 villages, and the data were interpreted using various ethnobotanical indices. Altogether, 41 livestock ailments were documented, and it was concluded that ailments like digestive disorders, mouth and foot diseases, milk deficiency, diarrhea, worm infestation, skin disorders, wound healing, placenta retention, carminatives, and anti-lice are the most prevalent. Eighty-three plants from 36 families, including one species of pteridophyte and gymnosperm and 81 species of angiosperm, were identified for animal health care. Most frequently, plant parts used for ethnoveterinary medicine are leaves (56.8%), shoots (15.9%), fruit (8.87%), seed (8.87%), bark (2.95%), whole plant (2.95%), latex (1.77%), and root (1%). The most common administration is oral, followed by dermal. The inhabitants use leaves, fruits, seeds, shoots, and bark to prepare various oral and topical remedies. The plant species ranked highest in terms of RFC values were Mentha longifolia (0.76), Ajuga bracteosa (0.64), Carthamus oxyacantha (0.53), Brassica campestris (0.46), and Sonchus asper (0.42). Species with the highest use values include Ajuga bracteosa (1.03), Mentha longifolia (0.85), Brassica campestris (0.71), Carthamus oxycantha (0.54), and Sonchus asper (0.51). A high ICF was noted for digestive disorders (0.45), followed by lactation issues (0.41) and dermatological conditions (0.29). Given the enormous potential for popularizing local herbal remedies in the study area, this research underlines the critical need for further investigations to ensure a sustainable and safe utilization of these herbal drugs.
Yaravirus brasiliense genomic structure analysis and its possible influence on the metabolism

Published: January 2025

Abstract Here we analyze the Yaravirus brasiliense, an amoeba-infecting 80-nm-sized virus with a 45-kbp dsDNA, using structural molecular modeling. Almost all of its 74 genes were previously identified as ORFans. Considering its unprecedented genetic content, we analyzed Yaravirus genome to understand its genetic organization, its proteome, and how it interacts with its host. We reported possible functions for all Yaravirus proteins. Our results suggest the first ever report of a fragment proteome, in which the proteins are separated in modules and joined together at a protein level. Given the structural resemblance between some Yaravirus proteins and proteins related to tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), glyoxylate cycle, and the respiratory complexes, our work also allows us to hypothesize that these viral proteins could be modulating cell metabolism by upregulation. The presence of these TCA cycle-related enzymes specifically could be trying to overcome the cycle’s control points, since they are strategic proteins that maintain malate and oxaloacetate levels. Therefore, we propose that Yaravirus proteins are redirecting energy and resources towards viral production, and avoiding TCA cycle control points, “unlocking” the cycle. Altogether, our data helped understand a previously almost completely unknown virus, and a little bit more of the incredible diversity of viruses.
O estilo orgânico de matematização newtoniana: implicações para a abordagem matemática no ensino de física

Published: January 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma análise histórica-epistemológica do estilo orgânico de matematização newtoniana, durante o processo de formalização da sua mecânica racional. De acordo com a literatura, a problemática educacional, referente a abordagem matemática no ensino de física diz respeito a uma questão epistemológica e não, estritamente, metodológica. O caminho para uma nova concepção epistemológica seria através da análise histórico-epistemológica, do papel que a matemática desempenha no processo de formalização da física. Mais que uma ferramenta de cálculo, a matemática desempenha um papel de estrutura, de modo a revelar relações físico-matemáticas que conectam matemática e natureza. São realizados apontamentos para o ensino de física, quanto à necessidade dos professores e professoras se atentarem à construção dos significados que estariam condensados nestas relações físico-matemáticas, tornando o processo de matematização em salas de aula e materiais didáticos de física mais fenomenológico e menos técnico-operacional.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre variáveis sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida e de saúde mental e a Covid longa em profissionais de enfermagem. Método: Estudo quantitativo, observacional, transversal e analítico, com 109 profissionais de enfermagem que tiveram Covid-19 entre os anos de 2020 e 2022. A coleta de dados foi por formulário online, com as variáveis de interesse: resiliência, bem-estar subjetivo, idade, sexo, categoria profissional, vacinação, atividade física, presença de sintomas decorrentes da infecção pela Covid-19 após a fase aguda da doença e de Covid longa. Os dados foram analisados de maneira descritiva, e inferencial pela regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, e nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Sexo masculino, alta resiliência e alto afeto positivo diminui a prevalência da Covid longa em 71% (RP = 0,29), 40% (RP = 0,60) e 43% (RP = 0,57), respectivamente, enquanto ser da categoria técnico de enfermagem aumenta em 74% (RP = 1,74) a sua prevalência. Conclusión: Os resultados reforçam a importância e subsidiam o desenvolvimento de ações de promoção, prevenção, tratamento e reabilitação aos indivíduos com Covid longa. Para isso, o cuidado multidisciplinar, centrado na pessoa e direcionado ao contexto e ambiente de trabalho se fazem necessários.

RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar os fatores sociodemográficos, maternos e gestacionais associados à capacidade antioxidante total da dieta em gestantes brasileiras. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 2.232 gestantes com 18 anos ou mais, no primeiro, segundo e terceiro trimestres de gestação de onze cidades das cinco regiões brasileiras. Foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado para avaliação dos dados socioeconômicos, demográficos e de saúde, e o recordatório de 24h (R24h) para avaliação do consumo alimentar e análise da Capacidade Antioxidante Total da Dieta (CATd), estimada usando o método Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP). Resultados: A mediana de CATd foi de 5,32 mmol/dia. Aracaju (SE) apresentou a maior mediana de CATd (6,44 mmol/dia) e Palmas (TO) a menor (4,71 mmol/dia). As gestantes de 20 a 34 anos (OR 1,86; IC95% 1,26-2,76), 35 anos ou mais (OR 3,68; IC95% 2,21-6,14) e que estavam no segundo trimestre de gestação (OR 1,50; IC95%; 1,11-2,01) tiveram mais chances de estarem acima da mediana de CATd, enquanto as gestantes com maior escolaridade tinham 67% menos chance de estarem acima da mediana de CATd (OR 0,67; IC95% 0,48-0,92). Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou que há diferenças no consumo de antioxidantes em diferentes cidades do Brasil e que fatores associados, como idade, escolaridade e trimestre gestacional podem impactar na ingestão de alimentos ricos em antioxidantes. O perfil encontrado chama atenção para a importância de uma alimentação adequada e rica em antioxidantes durante o pré-natal.
RACISM AND THE CLAIM FOR RECOGNITION IN CURRICULAR EXPERIENCE
Authors: Chaves Silvane Lopes , Macedo Elizabeth
Published: January 2025

Abstract From a post-structural theory perspective, we problematize the tactical distribution of precariousness addressed to Black people, which is diluted in state policies, institutional practices, and everyday intersubjective relations. Due to the performative nature of the theory, we refine the different modes in which precariousness emerges in some studies, understood as the persistence of a trace of racism. We argue that the unequal distribution of care goes beyond the material dimension, seeping into the processes of subjectivation of Black children within the curricular experience. Faced with the perpetually deferred promise of resolution, these individuals bring forth a claim that challenges the norms of recognition, shifting toward the political demand for humanization - not only as an ethical gesture of care but also as an act of reparation.

Abstract This study aimed to characterize the reproductive parameters and economic indicators of dairy farms. Data were from technical assistance of the Programa de Desenvolvimento em Pecuária Leiteira (PDPL-UFV) including 26 farms, from September 2022 to August 2023, comprising an entire production cycle. The following economic indicators were selected as dependent variables: Unit Net Margin (UNM), Operating Profitability (OP) and Rate of Return on Capital (RRC). Reproductive parameters were used as explanatory variables in multiple linear regression analysis. A stepwise selection was performed and only variables significant at p < 0.10 were kept in the final model. Pregnancy rate of cows, number of inseminations per pregnant heifer, and replacement rate were the reproductive parameters with the greatest effect on the evaluated economic indices. The UNM and OP were positively affected by pregnancy rate of cows and number of inseminations per pregnant heifer, but replacement rate negatively affected both indices. Only the pregnancy rate of cows showed a significant and positive effect on RRC. Results suggest that the economic viability of a dairy farm is not only associated with cutting costs such as reducing the number of inseminations in heifers, or increasing revenue by selling animals, which increases the replacement rate.

Resumen Abordase la formación de terapeutas ocupacionales que ejercen docencia en el contexto universitario, específicamente la construcción y desarrollo de la identidad profesional. Se destaca la heterogeneidad de los roles docentes, influenciados por dimensiones disciplinares, organizacionales y otras que configuran condiciones materiales y simbólicas, en donde la identidad se presenta como una construcción cultural arraigada que está en constante remodelación, influenciada por la actividad en la que las profesoras participan. En esta línea, se hace de suma importancia considerar las experiencias subjetivas de aprendizaje para comprender los cambios en los posicionamientos identitarios y como esto afecta a las docentes, independientemente de su experiencia, especialidad y contexto de trabajo. Como metodología, se utiliza un análisis temático de una investigación previa donde se hallaron cuatro modalidades de agencia en las narrativas de seis terapeutas ocupacionales que ejercen docencia universitaria en Chile, las cuales son: deliberada, forzada, facilitada y otorgada. Destacase la estrecha relación entre identidad y agencia en la labor docente, identificando diversas modalidades de agencia y su conexión con los procesos identitarios de los terapeutas ocupacionales. Sin embargo, se sugiere la necesidad de investigaciones empíricas específicas para profundizar en esta relación y abordar cómo la comunidad estudiantil percibe estas dinámicas. También se enfatiza la importancia de comprender la diversidad de hábitos en la adquisición y participación de roles, incluso en el mismo contexto de ejecución.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the knowledge and prevalence of dental trauma among amateur soccer players in a Brazilian subpopulation. Material and Methods: The players responded to a 20-item questionnaire on personal characteristics and the prevalence, education, and management of dental injuries between June and August 2023. Five questions with a five-point scoring system evaluated participant knowledge about managing coronal fractures and avulsion. The Mann-Whitney U-test and the Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05) compared the subcategories of personal characteristics and education on dental trauma management. Results: Two hundred forty-four (244) amateur soccer players participated in the study, with 55 (22.55%) reporting experiences of traumatic dental injury during games and a higher frequency of coronal fractures. The median score for correctly managing coronal fractures and avulsion was 2.0 points. Athletes with health education/occupation showed a higher median value (3.0 points). Only 9.43% of participants use or have used a mouthguard during sports practice. The study identified a 22.55% prevalence of dental trauma among amateur soccer players. Conclusion: The knowledge of athletes about managing coronal fractures and avulsion is insufficient and requires improvement.
THE ROLE OF POWERFUL STAKEHOLDERS TOWARD CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Authors: Loviscek Vittoria

ABSTRACT The challenges and degradations posed by the linear economic system call for a change and the adoption of responsible practices. Stakeholders are challenged to cooperate and find solutions to take responsibility and regenerate the environment. Responsible economy integrates sustainability concepts, including circular economy (CE), into the strategic development goals. Understanding stakeholders’ roles in this change toward a CE is necessary to develop and implement solutions. This study analyzes the built environment (BE) stakeholders of the public, private, and third sectors to understand if and how “powerful” stakeholders are driving responsible actions. A comparative case study between London (UK) and São Paulo (Brazil) provides insights considering a meso-level (of buildings) and the roles of each sector and actor for the implementation of CE practices in the BE. Results show that multinational companies trailblaze the shift while governmental bodies enable responsible behavior.

RESUMO Os desafios e a degradação consequentes do sistema econômico linear demandam mudanças e a adoção de práticas responsáveis, onde os stakeholders são chamados a cooperar e encontrar soluções, assumindo a responsabilidade de regenerar o meio ambiente. A economia responsável se insere nesse contexto de desenvolvimento sustentável e integra conceitos como o da economia circular. A compreensão do papel de cada stakeholder na transição da economia linear para a a circular é necessária para permitir o desenvolvimento e a implementação de soluções de problemas sociais e ambientais. Este estudo analisa os stakeholders do ambiente construído, incluindo os setores público, privado e o terceiro setor, para compreender se e como stakeholders “poderosos” estão conduzindo ações responsáveis. Um estudo de caso comparativo entre Londres (Reino Unido) e São Paulo (Brasil) fornece insights, considerando um nível meso (de edifícios) e os papéis de cada setor e ator para a implementação de práticas de economia circular no ambiente construído. Os resultados mostram que as empresas multinacionais são pioneiras na mudança, enquanto os órgãos governamentais conduzem a um comportamento responsável.
