Authors: Corrêa Anderson Desbessel , de Carvalho Lucimar M. Fossatti , Simon Tiago Teixeira
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the relationship between sleep quality and well-being among public school teachers. Several factors, such as the work environment, stress, and personal conditions, directly affect the health of teachers, with sleep being a central aspect for physical and mental balance. The study reveals that teachers with better sleep quality tend to have a higher perception of quality of life (QoL) and quality of life at work (QWL), while those with poor sleep demonstrate impairments in both aspects. Sleep deprivation affects several aspects of health, increasing vulnerability to diseases, such as mental and cardiovascular disorders, in addition to impairing performance and physical adaptation. The study, conducted in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, used logistic regression analysis, showing that stress increases the chances of poor sleep among teachers by 3.32 times. In addition, those who reported good health are more likely to maintain quality sleep. The research reinforces the need for educational policies to reduce teacher stress, promoting the integral health of these professionals who play an essential role in the formation of society.

Authors: Ferreira Maria Divina , Caruso Sérgio
Published: December 2024

This article aims to understand how the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) plays a crucial role in promoting regional development, especially by encouraging family farming in the city of Goiânia. This government initiative not only ensures the provision of nutritious and quality meals for students in public schools, but also boosts the local economy by integrating small farmers into the process of providing food for school meals. The integration of family farming into the PNAE has multiple benefits, such as providing a stable source of income for family farmers, encouraging local production, and promoting the economic sustainability of rural communities. In view of this and through a literature review, with important authors such as Alvarez (2022), Monteiro (2017), Triches and Schneider (2010), among others, the study explores the inclusion of fresh and varied foods in school meals in order to contribute to a healthier diet for students, combating malnutrition and promoting healthy eating habits from an early age. The results show that in Goiânia, the implementation of the PNAE with a focus on family farming has shown significant results. This is because through public procurement policies that prioritize local producers, the program strengthens the regional agricultural sector and encourages more sustainable agricultural practices. The PNAE in Goiânia exemplifies how well-structured public policies can foster regional development and sustainability, while ensuring healthy, quality food for students. It can serve as a reference for other regions.

KNOWLEDGE AND POPULAR CULTURES: DIALOGUES BETWEEN EXPERIENCES AND ECOLOGY OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE FOREST AREA OF MINEIRA
Authors: da Fonseca Valter Machado , Silva Carmen Lucia Ferreira
Published: December 2024

In this research, the authors discuss some fundamentals, assumptions, principles and concepts that are important for working with Popular Education. They examine the basic concepts of culture, correlating them with the need to value the knowledge and understanding produced by the marginalized sectors of modern society. In this text, the authors show that working with the most diverse forms of culture demands giving up dogmatic conceptions, precisely because they understand the concept of culture as inserted in a spontaneous and free historical and social context, where social actors construct their cultural identity independently of the cultural concepts and conceptions imposed by the State and by the economic elites that hold the political and economic power that govern modern society. They distinguish between the knowledge coming from the popular sectors and that produced by the capitalist State and reproduced by formal education. Finally, the article presents aspects and records of the rich cultural dialogues of the “Troca de Saberes”, an event held at UFV.

This scientific research project has as its theme the development of skills adopted in the formative assessment process in 9th grade students at the BG 1115 “10 de Fevereiro” school - Benguela. The same came from the following research problem: how do teachers carry out formative assessment on students in the 9th class of the BG 1115 “10 de Fevereiro” school - Benguela? The general objective aimed to analyze how formative assessment contributes to the development of skills in students in the 9th class of the BG 1115 “10 de Fevereiro” school - Benguela. The research is descriptive, with a mixed, qualitative and quantitative approach, to achieve the objectives we use methods at a theoretical level such as bibliographical research, analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive and at an empirical level, observation, interview, questionnaire, for treatment of data, the mathematical-statistical procedure was used. The results reveal that the formative assessment process carried out by teachers contributes reasonably to the development of skills in 9th grade students at the school under study. Teachers know some formative assessment techniques, but they evaluate students' learning with some insufficiencies, they do not comply with all assessment procedures, the student responds by reading in the notebook without arguing, which prevents the development of skills. The formative assessment technique – PMI and the assessment instrument –MAF enable teachers to check and record students' strengths and weaknesses during classes, help the student understand the content and thus result in meaningful learning and develop skills.

Aging is a natural phenomenon that begins at birth and is evidenced by functional, physical, and psychological changes that become noticeable in old age. In the female dimension, menopause can be characterized as the initial milestone of the aforementioned process, with aging commonly marked by situations of emotional abandonment, lack of emotional support, and the emergence of emotional reactions such as grief, a scenario explored in this chapter. The objective is to categorize and explore the physical, emotional, and social manifestations of emotional abandonment and grief in elderly women. The methodology adopted for this work is based on a narrative review of the literature, with the objective of exploring the dynamics of emotional abandonment and grief in the health of elderly women. Searches were carried out in scientific databases such as PubMed, Scielo, LILACS, and gray literature (Google Scholar), using the descriptors "elderly women's health", "affective abandonment", "grief" and their corresponding terms in English, according to the DeCS/MeSH criteria. Among the main results, it can be highlighted that mourning triggers implications in the physical, emotional and social spheres, and the State should design and implement public policies concerning the subject. It is concluded that the health of elderly women requires attention and multidisciplinary action, especially with regard to scenarios in which emotional abandonment and mourning are present, given that such phenomena alter and intensely affect the quality of life of the population.
RADIO GALENA IN GEOGRAPHY AS A TEACHING-PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCE IN TEACHING-LEARNING – LISTEN BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS
Authors: de Oliveira Érico Anderson , de Oliveira Rosália Caldas Sanábio
Published: December 2024

This report is about an experiment with Rádio Galena in the classroom with students in the initial years of technical courses at the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG) in Belo Horizonte. The theoretical basis was based on a constructivist practice that proposes the articulation of knowledge from the curriculum and the ability of students to develop their own concepts, exercising their skills and competencies. The subjects involved were Physics (waves, resonant circuit, electromagnetism, and others) and Geography (transmission location, propagation distance, interference of geographical features, map analysis, mineral resources present in the components, etc.). During the tests, the students were able to listen to the programming of an AM radio and correlate their listening with the Geography subjects (scale, globalization, communications, areas of influence, scope, culture, wave propagation and interference – relief, vegetation, atmospheric conditions). The prototypes were subjected to different locations to analyze the interference of geographical elements. In addition to the geographic content, there were geopolitical, physical, economic, etc. discussions. It was found that the various contents discussed were understood in the ways in which they are articulated both for the functioning of the radio, the geographic limitations, and for the propagation of ideas or possibilities given by technological advances in the present day and their occurrences of all kinds.

Authors: Bezerra Igor Felipe Oliveira , Campos Paola Souto , Brito Junior Jorge de Almeida
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to develop a fuzzy logic model to evaluate the impact of interventions in Adapted Physical Education and Environmental Education on the development of children with disabilities, covering physical, cognitive and environmental awareness aspects. The research sought to transcend conventional assessment approaches, implementing scenario simulations that mimic real conditions and incorporating variables such as motor coordination and understanding of environmental concepts. The interventions were evaluated using fuzzy rules, in order to measure the impacts on the various dimensions of development. Although the model has not been applied in a practical context with children, validation tests suggest its future applicability in practical studies. The results indicate that integrated and balanced interventions can effectively improve both physical and cognitive development. The use of fuzzy logic proved to be a robust tool for the detailed evaluation of progress, indicating that the developed model can contribute significantly to inclusive pedagogical practices and guide educational policies aimed at the needs of children with disabilities, reinforcing the importance of sustainability in environmental education.
ABBAS KIAROSTAMI, THE TASTE AND POETRY OF IRANIAN CINEMA: WITH A TASTE OF CHERRY, THE WIND WILL CARRY US AWAY
Authors: Gonzaga Filho Bento Matias
Published: December 2024

Jean-Luc Godard's statement that "Cinema begins with D. W. Griffith and ends with Abbas Kiarostami", demonstrates such importance and genius of the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. In this article we will reflect on Kiarostami's filmic narrative and his poetic cinema of "unfinished" style, as he himself states: "whenever we have the opportunity to include scenes in which we can solicit the viewer's imagination, we offer him the effective possibility of creating the film with us". Two great films, Taste of Cherry, from 1997, and The Wind Will Carry Us, from 1999, were chosen to come into focus in the discussion about how Kiarostami diligently seeks his truth as a human being in a perspective of poetic simplicity.
THE CYTOKINES IL-1B AND TNF-A AND THE METABOLIC PROFILE IN COWS WITH HYPERKETONEMIA: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: de Souza Marcelo Ribeiro , de Oliveira Luís Eduardo Rangel Batinga , Soares Pierre Castro , de Souza Paulo Roberto Eleutério
Published: December 2024

Hyperketonemia is the most prevalent metabolic disease in the transition period of productive cows. It is characterized by the increase of ketone bodies in body tissues and fluids, in addition to changes in metabolic profiles and cytokine expression, which can result in significant economic losses and damage to animal health. Objective: To conduct a literature review addressing the main aspects related to hyperketonemia, with emphasis on changes in the metabolic profile and expression of the cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α during the transition period. Methodology: The review was based on articles found in the databases, published between 1972 and 2024, using specific terms such as "hyperketonemia", "transition period" and "metabolic profile". Literature review: Hyperketonemia develops in response to negative energy balance, when energy demand exceeds dietary intake, leading to mobilization of body reserves and increased non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) in the blood. These fatty acids are metabolized in the liver, favoring ketogenesis and resulting in metabolic disorders. The metabolic profile is an essential tool to assess the metabolic health of the herd, allowing the identification of changes in biochemical parameters, such as glucose, NEFAs, proteins and hormones. This monitoring reveals the relationship between metabolism and inflammatory responses, and is crucial for the early detection of disorders. The cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, released during inflammatory processes, play an essential role in the transition period of dairy cows, contributing to the amplification of the inflammatory response associated with hyperketonemia. Conclusion: Early detection through biomarkers, such as β-hydroxybutyrate and NEFAs, is essential to prevent hyperketonemia. Inflammatory alterations, such as the elevation of IL-1β and TNF-α, reinforce the importance of integrated strategies for nutritional, genetic and immunological management, aiming to minimize damage to animal health and reduce economic losses.

Authors: Leite Newton G. C. , Reis Luiz Carlos B. S. , Zanardi Maurício A.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the present work was to investigate the association of two important engineering devices, the two-phase thermosyphon and the solar collector. A cycle to obtain high vacuum was set up to manufacture thermosyphons, which were inserted into evacuated glass tubes to compose the structure of a solar collector prototype. The prototype was operated over a period of eight months, during which two other solar collectors were tested simultaneously for comparison purposes. The other two collectors were purchased on the market, one of which already included the thermosyphons, while the other operated without them. Temperature readings were taken at the manifold inlet and outlet, as well as in the main water supply, and in the storage tank. The temperature data were analyzed and could be condensed into just two 24-hour periods, as they showed reproducible behavior. A calorimeter allowed estimating the amount of stored energy, which in this case used twenty 24 hour periods for analysis. It was concluded that the solar collector that uses the thermosyphon can reach higher temperatures at the manifold outlet, but the storage tank can interfere, causing a decrease in the temperature of the water that reaches the consumer.

This research uses a qualitative descriptive method to describe learning difficulties in class VIII algebra material based on gender. The research subjects comprised 1 class of class VIII junior high school students, male and female. The data collection method used a written test on algebra material, and interviews with students were conducted regarding the written test that had been carried out. The results of this research are that male students have more difficulties than female students. Male students experience difficulties expressing principles and solving problems with solutions that require determining the form of variables but do not have difficulty when expressing the concept of grouping similar terms in algebraic form. Meanwhile, female students do not experience difficulty using the principles of operating algebraic forms and finding the value of a variable but experience difficulties when presenting the concept of grouping similar terms in algebraic form and when solving problems with solutions that require determining the variable form because female students feel confused when working on it—the next step is you do not do the problem until it is finished
