The phenomenon of suicides among adolescents
Authors: Lukasek Aleksandra , Zalewska Wioleta
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of suicide, which occurs not only in Poland, but all over the world. Suicidal death means the end of life, and for many young people it is the solution to life’s problems. Minors aged 14 to 17 often struggle with a sense of powerlessness in the face of existing life problems. Often these people rebel against commonly accepted social norms, looking for their own paths, goals and senses of an existential nature. The undertaken research was aimed at understanding the phenomenon of suicide among young people. The study used the method of diagnostic.

Correct speech development is important for the child‘s proper education, personality building and overall development. In view of this widely acknowledged fact, attention has been drawn to the need for the formation of correct speech development in the child and its disorders in the aspect of the pedagogical work of preschool teachers. Pedagogical observations in pre-school institutions during the implementation of student internships motivated us to undertake a study to determine the importance of the pedagogical work of teachers in the process of supporting the normal speech development of the pre-school child. The research was conducted in 2022 among 60 teachers working in pre-school institutions in the Biała Podlaska district. The results of the study showed the variety of activities carried out by teachers, especially in the field of diagnosis, selection of speech therapy exercises, individualisation of work with the child and cooperation with parents. Motivation and interaction between teachers and parents are among the key factors determining the effectiveness of speech therapy activities with children. On the basis of the analysis of the research results, some important recommendations were formulated, which can be used in the future by those interested in the above-mentioned issues.

Published: May 2024

This paper considers the classification of multiplexed structured light modes, aiming to bolster communication reliability and data transfer rates, particularly in challenging scenarios marked by turbulence and potential eavesdropping. An experimental free-space optic (FSO) system is established to transmit 16 modes [8-ary Laguerre Gaussian (LG) and 8-ary superposition LG (Mux-LG) mode patterns] over a 3-m FSO channel, accounting for interception threats and turbulence effects. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to consider both factors concurrently. We propose four machine/deep learning algorithms—artificial neural network, support vector machine, 1D convolutional neural network, and 2D convolutional neural network—for classification purposes. By fusing the outputs of these methods, we achieve promising classification results exceeding 92%, 81%, and 69% in cases of weak, moderate, and strong turbulence, respectively. Structured light modes exhibit significant potential for a variety of real-world applications where reliable and high-capacity data transmission is crucial.

Published: May 2024

Anaemia is a major public health problem, especially in resource constrained settings. Dependency on assessment of blood hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration impedes anemia detection, risk stratification and intervention. Thus, valid, frugal and scalable technologies are needed. EzeCheck is a noninvasive portable device developed in India for predicting hemoglobin levels in human beings aged 4 years and above using a finger-tip biosensor. In this assessment, we aimed to: (i) evaluate EzeCheck’s performance with an automated whole blood hemato-analyzer (Sysmex XN 1000) as the gold standard, and (ii) estimate EzeCheck’s agreement with Sahli’s method and HemoCue (Hb-301) in real-world primary and higher care facilities. Paired assessments were done at five sites across India i.e., Bhubaneshwar, Shimla, Solan and Mashobra and Ulhasnagar. Participants across all age groups (4 years and above) were assessed. We used a range of statistical tests to evaluate the performance of EzeCheck. It was found that EzeCheck performed well across age and gender categories with convincing validity, concordance, precision and accuracy, and acceptable bias. While comparing EzeCheck with Hemato-analyzer, no statistically significant systematic bias was found. However, EzeCheck showed significant systematic bias when compared to Sahli’s method and HemoCue. We concluded that EzeCheck could detect anemia (as per WHO Hgb cut-offs) in ‘real-world settings’ and ‘across age and gender categories’, with high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, and can serve as a replacement to traditional methods of hemoglobin assessment. Further, for countries with higher prevalence of anemia where universal screening may be mandated, the positive predictive value of EzeCheck will be higher. The likelihood ratios also indicated that the device had moderate-to-good utility. EzeCheck is suitable for embedment into program and out-patient health care settings in resource constrained contexts as a spot-check hemoglobinometer.

Published: May 2024

Transcriptional response to changes in oxygen concentration is mainly controlled by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs). Besides regulation of hypoxia-responsible gene expression, HIF-3α has recently been shown to be involved in lung development and in the metabolic process of fat tissue. However, the precise mechanism for such properties of HIF-3α is still largely unknown. To this end, we generated HIF3A gene-disrupted mice by means of genome editing technology to explore the pleiotropic role of HIF-3α in development and physiology. We obtained adult mice carrying homozygous HIF3A gene mutations with comparable body weight and height to wild-type mice. However, the number of litters and ratio of homozygous mutation carriers born from the mating between homozygous mutant mice was lower than expected due to sporadic deaths on postnatal day 1. HIF3A gene-disrupted mice exhibited abnormal configuration of the lung such as a reduced number of alveoli and thickened alveolar walls. Transcriptome analysis showed, as well as genes associated with lung development, an upregulation of stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1, a pivotal enzyme for fatty acid metabolism. Analysis of fatty acid composition in the lung employing gas chromatography indicated an elevation in palmitoleic acid and a reduction in oleic acid, suggesting an imbalance in distribution of fatty acid, a constituent of lung surfactant. Accordingly, administration of glucocorticoid injections during pregnancy resulted in a restoration of normal alveolar counts and a decrease in neonatal mortality. In conclusion, these observations provide novel insights into a pivotal role of HIF-3α in the preservation of critically important structure and function of alveoli beyond the regulation of hypoxia-mediated gene expression.
A fast, easy, cost-free method to remove excess dye or drug from small extracellular vesicle solution
Authors: Isaioglou Ioannis , Lopez-Madrigal Gloria , Merzaban Jasmeen S.
Published: May 2024

Tracking small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), such as exosomes, requires staining them with dyes that penetrate their lipid bilayer, a process that leaves excess dye that needs to be mopped up to achieve high specificity. Current methods to remove superfluous dye have limitations, among them that they are time-intensive, carry the risk of losing sample and can require specialized equipment and materials. Here we present a fast, easy-to-use, and cost-free protocol for cleaning excess dye from stained sEV samples by adding their parental cells to the mixture to absorb the extra dye much like sponges do. Since sEVs are considered a next-generation drug delivery system, we further show the success of our approach at removing excess chemotherapeutic drug, daunorubicin, from the sEV solution.
Brain fog in chronic pain: Protocol for a discourse analysis of social media postings
Authors: Dass Ronessa , Packham Tara
Published: May 2024

Brain fog is a phenomenon that is frequently reported by persons with chronic pain. Difficulties with cognition including memory impairments, attentional issues, and cloudiness are commonly described. The current medical literature demonstrates a similar cloudiness: there is no clear taxonomy or nomenclature, no well-validated evaluations and a dearth of effective interventions. To focus our understanding of this complex phenomenon, we will perform a discourse analysis to explore how brain fog is described in public posts on social media. Discursive methodology will generate insights regarding the societal understanding and meanings attributed to brain fog, by sampling perspectives of persons with lived experience, currently underrepresented in the medical literature. It is anticipated that the results of the proposed study will 1) help healthcare professionals better understand the experience of chronic pain-related brain fog and 2) generate hypotheses for future research. To conclude, by incorporating innovative and contemporary methods, this proposed discourse analysis of social media sources will generate nuanced insights, bridging the gap between researchers, health care providers, and persons with lived experience.
A low-cost spectroscopic nutrient management system for Microscale Smart Hydroponic system
Authors: Stevens Joseph D. , Murray David , Diepeveen Dean , Toohey Danny
Published: May 2024

Hydroponics offers a promising approach to help alleviate pressure on food security for urban residents. It requires minimal space and uses less resources, but management can be complex. Microscale Smart Hydroponics (MSH) systems leverage IoT systems to simplify hydroponics management for home users. Previous work in nutrient management has produced systems that use expensive sensing methods or utilized lower cost methods at the expense of accuracy. This study presents a novel inexpensive nutrient management system for MSH applications that utilises a novel waterproofed, IoT spectroscopy sensor (AS7265x) in a transflective application. The sensor is submerged in a hydroponic solution to monitor the nutrients and MSH system predicts the of nutrients in the hydroponic solution and recommends an adjustment quantity in mL. A three-phase model building process was carried out resulting in significant MLR models for predicting the mL, with an R2 of 0.997. An experiment evaluated the system’s performance using the trained models with a 30-day grow of lettuce in a real-world setting, comparing the results of the management system to a control group. The sensor system successfully adjusted and maintained nutrient levels, resulting in plant growth that outperformed the control group. The results of the models in actual deployment showed a strong, significant correlation of 0.77 with the traditional method of measuring the electrical conductivity of nutrients. This novel nutrient management system has the potential to transform the way nutrients are monitored in hydroponics. By simplifying nutrient management, this system can encourage the adoption of hydroponics, contributing to food security and environmental sustainability.

Published: May 2024

The success rate of spinal fusion surgery is mainly determined by the fixation strength of the spinal bone anchors. This study explores the use of an L-shaped spinal bone anchor that is intended to establish a macro-shape lock with the posterior cortical layer of the vertebral body, thereby increasing the pull-out resistance of the anchor. The performance of this L-shaped anchor was evaluated in lumbar vertebra phantoms (L1-L5) across four distinct perpendicular orientations (lateral, medial, superior, and inferior). During the pull-out experiments, the pull-out force, and the displacement of the anchor with respect to the vertebra was measured which allowed the determination of the maximal pull-out force (mean: 123 N ± 25 N) and the initial pull-out force, the initial force required to start motion of the anchor (mean: 23 N ± 16 N). Notably, the maximum pull-out force was observed when the anchor engaged the cortical bone layer. The results demonstrate the potential benefits of utilising a spinal bone anchor featuring a macro-shape lock with the cortical bone layer to increase the pull-out force. Combining the macro shape-lock fixation method with the conventional pedicle screw shows the potential to significantly enhance the fixation strength of spinal bone anchors.

Published: May 2024

Introduction

Demand for urgent and emergency health care in England has grown over the last decade, for reasons that are not clear. Changes in population demographics may be a cause. This study investigated associations between individuals’ characteristics (including socioeconomic deprivation and long term health conditions (LTC)) and the frequency of emergency department (ED) attendances, in the Norfolk and Waveney subregion of the East of England.

Methods

The study population was people who were registered with 91 of 106 Norfolk and Waveney general practices during one year from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. Linked primary and secondary care and geographical data included each individual’s sociodemographic characteristics, and number of ED attendances during the same year and, for some individuals, LTCs and number of general practice (GP) appointments. Associations between these factors and ED attendances were estimated using Poisson regression models.

Results

1,027,422 individuals were included of whom 57.4% had GP data on the presence or absence of LTC, and 43.1% had both LTC and general practitioner appointment data. In the total population ED attendances were more frequent in individuals aged under five years, (adjusted Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) 1.25, 95% confidence interval 1.23 to 1.28) compared to 15–35 years); living in more socioeconomically deprived areas (IRR 0.61 (0.60 to 0.63)) for least deprived compared to most deprived,and living closer to the nearest ED. Among individuals with LTC data, each additional LTC was also associated with increased ED attendances (IRR 1.16 (1.15 to 1.16)). Among individuals with LTC and GP appointment data, each additional GP appointment was also associated with increased ED attendances (IRR 1.03 (1.026 to 1.027)).

Conclusions

In the Norfolk and Waveney population, ED attendance rates were higher for young children and individuals living in more deprived areas and closer to EDs. In individuals with LTC and GP appointment data, both factors were also associated with higher ED attendance.

Published: May 2024

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has significant challenges to human health and clinical treatment, with KPC-2-producing CRKP being the predominant epidemic strain. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic targets and strategies. Non-coding small RNA (sRNA) is a post-transcriptional regulator of genes involved in important biological processes in bacteria and represents an emerging therapeutic strategy for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, we analyzed the transcription profile of KPC-2-producing CRKP using RNA-seq. Of the 4693 known genes detected, the expression of 307 genes was significantly different from that of carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP), including 133 up-regulated and 174 down-regulated genes. Both the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly related to metabolism. In addition, we identified the sRNA expression profile of KPC-2-producing CRKP for the first time and detected 115 sRNAs, including 112 newly discovered sRNAs. Compared to CSKP, 43 sRNAs were differentially expressed in KPC-2-producing CRKP, including 39 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated sRNAs. We chose sRNA51, the most significantly differentially expressed sRNA in KPC-2-producing CRKP, as our research subject. By constructing sRNA51-overexpressing KPC-2-producing CRKP strains, we found that sRNA51 overexpression down-regulated the expression of acrA and alleviated resistance to meropenem and ertapenem in KPC-2-producing CRKP, while overexpression of acrA in sRNA51-overexpressing strains restored the reduction of resistance. Therefore, we speculated that sRNA51 could affect the resistance of KPC-2-producing CRKP by inhibiting acrA expression and affecting the formation of efflux pumps. This provides a new approach for developing antibiotic adjuvants to restore the sensitivity of CRKP.

Authors: Maideen Ajmisha , Mohanarathinam A
Published: May 2024

In recent years, there has been a surge in scientific research using computer vision and robots for precision agriculture. Productivity has increased significantly, and the need for human labor in agriculture has been dramatically reduced owing to technological and mechanical advancements. However, most current apple identification algorithms cannot distinguish between green and red apples on a diverse agricultural field, obscured by tree branches and other apples. A novel and practical target detection approach for robots, using the YOLOV5 framework is presented, in line with the need to recognize apples automatically. Robotic end effectors have been integrated into a Raspberry Pi 4B computer, where the YOLOV5 model has been trained, tested, and deployed. The image was taken with an 8-megapixel camera that uses the camera serial interface (CSI) protocol. To speed up the model creation process, researchers use a graphical processing computer to label and preprocess test images before utilizing them. Using YOLOV5, a computer vision system-assisted framework aids in the design of robotic arms capable of detecting and manipulating objects. The deployed model has performed very well on both red and green apples, with ROC values of 0.98 and 0.9488, respectively. The developed model has achieved a high F1 score with 91.43 for green apples and 89.95 for red apples. The experimental findings showed that robotics are at the forefront of technological advancement because of the rising need for productivity, eliminating monotonous work, and protecting the operator and the environment. The same discerning can be applied to agricultural robots, which have the potential to improve productivity, safety, and profit margins for farmers while reducing their impact on the environment. The system’s potential could be seen in an assortment of fields, including sophisticated object detection, nuanced manipulation, multi-robot collaboration, and field deployment.
A MEDIAÇÃO NOS CONFLITOS ENVOVENDO AS PESSOAS JURÍDICAS DE DIREITO PÚBLICO COMO MEDIDA DEMOCRÁTICA
Authors: Fasolo Pilati Adriana , Mroczkoski Rocha Cristiny , Ramos Alves Paulo Roberto
Published: May 2024

Contextualização: A Lei da Mediação passou a trazer especificamente previsões específicas, inovando em capítulo da lei, que mais está para conflitos envolvendo direito privado, ante os fundamentos da autonomia da vontade, disponibilidade dos direitos, proteção à intimidade e à privacidade. Ocorre que, no contexto da sociedade pós-moderna, com o aparecimento de novos conflitos e novos problemas sociais, denota-se uma procura desenfreada por respostas (rápidas) no âmbito do Poder Judiciário, razão pela qual técnicas autocompositivas podem se mostrar verdadeiros instrumentos para reformas no âmbito de políticas pública.
Objetivo: O objetivo geral do artigo é analisar se é possível utilizar-se da técnica da mediação de conflitos quando uma das partes for pessoa jurídica de direito público tendo em vista o tratamento dado pela Lei nº 13.140/15. Nesse sentido, obtenção de dados precisos, concretos e atualizados das diversas relações estabelecidas com o Estado, nas suas mais variadas facetas temáticas, pode ser uma das maiores forças da mediação, confirmando um verdadeiro Estado Democrático de Direito.
Metodologia: Utilizamos no trabalho o método dedutivo, e enquanto técnica de pesquisa, nos valemos da avaliação de documentação indireta, nomeadamente bibliográfica.
Resultados: Por fim, verificou-se que muitas vezes a alegação de “interesse público” é utilizada de maneira deliberada como termo-escudo aos métodos alternativos de resolução de conflitos, merecendo uma melhor compreensão da técnica procedimental. Verificou-se, ainda, ser plenamente possível transacionar em matéria tributária, direito material indisponível, dentre outras situações em que se faz presente pessoa jurídica de direito público.
The sociopolitical turn in mathematics education and decolonial theory
Authors: Fúnez-Flores Jairo I. , Ataide Pinheiro Weverton , Ávila Mendoza Aixa , Phelps Rebekah , Cherry Shive Elyssa
Published: May 2024

This literature review examines how the theoretical perspectives aligned to the sociopolitical turn in mathematics inform social justice mathematics education. While existing literature has established the importance of social justice frameworks informed by critical theory, there has been limited exploration of critical race theory, poststructuralism and feminist theory, perspectives that offer a broader and more complex understanding of the social and political. After examining how these perspectives contribute to social justice mathematics, we explore the potential contributions of decolonial theory, particularly the way it unsettles accepted notions of social justice. By drawing and building on the sociopolitical turn in mathematics education, this article argues that decolonial thought can also assist in reimagining social justice mathematics education theoretically, methodologically and pedagogically. Ultimately, the article argues that there is no social justice without cognitive/epistemic and ontological justice, meaning that social justice loses ethical and political weight when modernity’s violent epistemic and ontological foundations are not questioned by social justice mathematics education research.
INFLUÊNCIA DO USO E COBERTURA DO SOLO NO POTENCIAL DA CARGA ÁCIDA RENAL (PRAL) DA ÁGUA BRUTA: UM ESTUDO NAS BACIAS HIDROGRÁFICAS MANTENEDORAS DO SISTEMA DE ABASTECIMENTO PÚBLICO DO MUNICÍPIO DE TANGARÁ DA SERRA – MT

Published: May 2024

O estudo avalia a relação do uso e cobertura do solo e o Potencial da Carga Ácida Renal (PRAL), dos três pontos de captação de água bruta para abastecimento público do município de Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, rio Sepotuba, córregos Russo e Queima-Pé. Os mapas foram elaborados a partir de imagens do satélite Landsat-8, de 2021, sendo realizado recorte e classificação do uso e ocupação do solo. Foram coletadas amostras de água bruta durante um ciclo hidrológico completo. Os resultados de cada amostra, a partir da análise de determinadas variáveis, foram aplicados no algoritmo do PRAL (SO42-, CL-, K+, Mg+2, Na+ e Ca+2) e através da correlação de Pearson (r) comparados com as três maiores áreas (%) de uso e cobertura (agropecuária, floresta e urbanização). O uso e ocupação do solo influência nos valores de PRAL, assim como o regime de chuvas. A agropecuária e urbanização proporcionaram aumento nos valores de PRAL principalmente no período de chuva e seca, respectivamente. Quando o solo é ocupado por floresta, há uma redução nos valores de PRAL, não sendo observado acúmulo de fósforo, potássio, cálcio, magnésio, cloretos, sulfatos e sódio na água, indicando que esses componentes são de origem antrópica.

Published: May 2024

A urbanização e as inundações desempenham um papel cíclico na construção do risco a desastres, por isso o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi identificar as áreas propensas a risco de desastre por inundação e sua inter-relação com o processo de evolução da mancha urbana no município de João Pessoa, Paraíba. A metodologia se dividiu em: classificação das áreas suscetíveis a inundação, utilizando diferentes resoluções e recortes espaciais; e análise da expansão urbana no município entre 1990 e 2018. Os melhores resultados apareceram ao utilizar resolução espacial de 5 m × 5 m e uma abordagem espacial voltada para as bacias hidrográficas. As bacias hidrográficas dos rios Marés-Sanhauá, Jaguaribe e Gramame foram aquelas com maiores porcentagens de áreas com “muito alta” ordem de priorização de ações de redução do risco à inundação. Durante 1990 e 2018, a bacia hidrográfica do rio Cuiá apresentou maior expansão urbana; já em 2018, foram Jaguaribe, Marés-Sanhauá e Cuiá. As bacias hidrográficas Jaguaribe e Marés-Sanhauá são aquelas com maior sobreposição de áreas urbanizadas e áreas com muito alto grau de prioridade de ações de redução do risco à inundação. Diante disso, recomendam-se ações preventivas e adaptativas nas áreas mais prioritárias das bacias de Jaguaribe, Marés-Sanhauá e Cuiá.
Relicário de memórias - Educação Popular na década de 1960
Authors: Silva César Ferreira da , Spigolon Nima Imaculada
Published: May 2024

O texto versa sobre a Educação Popular no Brasil nos anos de 1960, atravessado por registros históricos do Movimento de Educação de Base (MEB). Caracteriza-se por esquadrinhar as memórias de Carlos Rodrigues Brandão e Osmar Fávero, vinculadas, por um lado, aos cenários políticos que antecederam o Golpe de 1964, seguidos da instauração da ditadura militar, e por outro, aos processos pedagógicos e metodológicos fundantes da Educação Popular. Os aportes da abordagem qualitativa orientaram a realização das duas entrevistas— via Google Meet, nos anos de 2021 e 2022, sobretudo a elaboração do roteiro no que se refere à constituição do MEB e dos Movimentos de Cultura Popular - MCP, à presença de Paulo Freire e das mulheres educadoras populares. As inconclusões descortinam a relevância dos movimentos sociais de alfabetização para adultos emergentes daquele período e as influências deles para a consolidação de movimentos de resistência que identificam, na Educação Popular, a interação entre as formas diferentes de aprender a realidade para transformá-la e contribuir para o desenvolvimento da criticidade dos sujeitos — individuais e coletivos e para a construção de justiça social.

A história das políticas do Brasil para sua diáspora científica e tecnológica
Authors: Brum Alex Guedes
Published: May 2024

Nas últimas décadas, um número crescente de países em desenvolvimento tem considerado seus nacionais altamente qualificados que vivem no exterior como um potencial ativo para o desenvolvimento nacional. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a história das políticas do Estado brasileiro para sua diáspora científica e tecnológica. Essas são abordadas com base, principalmente, em: pesquisa documental; consulta a sites de órgãos públicos; e, pesquisa bibliográfica. Argumenta-se que o Brasil tradicionalmente tem interpretado a emigração qualificada sob a perspectiva de “fuga de cérebros” e, portanto, demorou a olhar para a diáspora científica e tecnológica como uma eventual fonte de recursos. Essa mudança de paradigma ocorreu apenas nos anos 2010. No entanto, as políticas para a diáspora científica e tecnológica não fizeram parte de uma estratégia estatal unitária e coordenada e quase todas foram descontinuadas após poucos anos de vigência.

Este artigo analisa as tendências recentes das políticas de internacionalização em um cenário global. A globalização e as tecnologias da informação e da comunicação foram determinantes para instituir a internacionalização em todos os campos da sociedade, o que operou mudanças significativas nos sistemas educacionais. Nesse cenário, há um movimento dinâmico que objetiva romper as fronteiras nacionais procurando conceber e implementar diretrizes a serem seguidas mundialmente; a mobilidade acadêmica é a parte mais visível dessa internacionalização. Utilizou-se a análise documental e séries históricas referentes à temática. O processo de internacionalização tem sofrido modificações no seu modus operandi, facilitado pelo uso das plataformas on-line, contextos mundiais adversos, reduzindo a mobilidade estudantil.

Metodologias ativas e internacionalização

Historicamente, as escolas que se auto-denominavam “escolas em metodologias ativas” alimentavam a esperança de promover a emancipação das classes trabalhadoras e, assim, contribuir para o acesso à educação de qualidade para todos, sendo capaz de transformar as sociedades humanas. Ao longo do tempo, estas escolas investiram em novos meios educativos para agora serem implantadas em contextos sociopolíticos mais heterogêneos. Nesse sentido, o projeto original de democratização parece dar lugar a desvios de inspiração neoliberal, suspeitos de favorecer uma forma de adequação às expectativas da economia de mercado. Esta tendência parece fazer parte de um processo de internacionalização mais global. É neste contexto que compartilhamos nossas reflexões como profissionais sobre esse fenômeno de internacionalização das metodologias ativas, discutindo a criação do primeiro curso universitário de formação continuada destinado a professores em exercício: o certificado universitário em metodologias ativas. Este certificado, que terá uma expansão extra-europeia em breve, pretende responder a uma necessidade de posicionamento institucional que seja ao mesmo tempo ético, solidário e humanista.

Este artigo pretende discutir a problemática dos adultos em mudança profissional. Quais políticas educativas podem permitir uma integração harmoniosa desses adultos com pouca ou nenhuma formação acadêmica e, sobretudo, quais as motivações, obstáculos e recursos destes adultos que regressam aos estudos (Carré, 2020)? Existe aqui um verdadeiro desafio na luta contra o determinismo social e uma possibilidade de assumir plenamente o papel social emancipatório do ensino superior. Por meio de uma série de entrevistas e questionários com mais de sessenta adultos que regressam ao ensino superior na Bélgica francófona, iremos destacar as ocorrências e as recorrências nos discursos, assim como dados para entender os tipos de recursos utilizados, as motivações, os obstáculos e a importância das políticas educacionais para esse público específico devido à sua alteridade e às suas particularidades. Por fim, destacamos o modelo de formação mais adequado às necessidades e expectativas dos adultos que regressam ao ensino superior.
