Becker muscular dystrophy mice showed site-specific decay of type IIa fibers with capillary change in skeletal muscle
Authors: Miyazaki Daigo , Sato Mitsuto , Shiba Naoko , Yoshizawa Takahiro , Nakamura Akinori
Published: October 2024

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), an X-linked muscular dystrophy, is mostly caused by an in-frame deletion of DMD. BMD severity varies from asymptomatic to severe, associated with the genotype of DMD. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.We established BMD mice carrying three representative exon deletions: ex45–48 del., ex45–47 del., and ex45–49 del. (d45–48, d45–47 and d45–49), with high frequencies and different severities in the human BMD hotspot. All three BMD mice showed muscle weakness, muscle degeneration, and fibrosis, but these changes appeared at different times for each exon deletion, consistent with the severities obtained by the natural history study of BMD. BMD mice showed site-specific muscle changes, unlike
mdx
mice, which showed diffuse muscle changes, and we demonstrated selective type IIa fiber reduction in BMD mice. Furthermore, BMD mice showed sarcolemmal neuronal nitric oxide synthetase (nNOS) reduction and morphological capillary changes around type IIa fibers.These results suggest that capillary changes caused by nNOS reduction may be associated with the mechanism of skeletal muscle degeneration and type IIa fiber reduction in BMD mice. BMD mice may be useful in elucidating the pathomechanisms and developing therapeutic strategies for human BMD.

Published: October 2024

Bone regeneration is mediated by skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs) that are mainly recruited from the periosteum after bone injury. The composition of the periosteum and the steps of SSPC activation and differentiation remain poorly understood. Here, we generated a single-nuclei atlas of the periosteum at steady-state and of the fracture site during early stages of bone repair (https://fracture-repair-atlas.cells.ucsc.edu). We identified periosteal SSPCs expressing stemness markers (
Pi16
and
Ly6a
/SCA1) and responding to fracture by adopting an injury-induced fibrogenic cell (IIFC) fate, prior to undergoing osteogenesis or chondrogenesis. We identified distinct gene cores associated with IIFCs and their engagement into osteogenesis and chondrogenesis involving Notch, Wnt and the circadian clock signaling respectively. Finally, we show that IIFCs are the main source of paracrine signals in the fracture environment, suggesting a crucial paracrine role of this transient IIFC population during fracture healing. Overall, our study provides a complete temporal topography of the early stages of fracture healing and the dynamic response of periosteal SSPCs to injury, redefining our knowledge of bone regeneration.
Flamingo participates in multiple models of cell competition
Authors: Bosch Pablo Sanchez , Cho Bomsoo , Axelrod Jeffrey D
Published: October 2024

The growth and survival of cells with different fitness, such as those with a proliferative advantage or a deleterious mutation, is controlled through cell competition. During development, cell competition enables healthy cells to eliminate less fit cells that could jeopardize tissue integrity, and facilitates the elimination of pre-malignant cells by healthy cells as a surveillance mechanism to prevent oncogenesis. Malignant cells also benefit from cell competition to promote their expansion. Despite its ubiquitous presence, the mechanisms governing cell competition, particularly those common to developmental competition and tumorigenesis, are poorly understood. Here, we show that in
Drosophila
, the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Flamingo (Fmi) is required by winners to maintain their status during cell competition in malignant tumors to overtake healthy tissue, in early pre-malignant cells when they overproliferate among wildtype cells, in healthy cells when they later eliminate pre-malignant cells, and by supercompetitors as they compete to occupy excessive territory within wildtype tissues. “Would-be” winners that lack Fmi are unable to over-proliferate, and instead become losers. We demonstrate that the role of Fmi in cell competition is independent of PCP, and that it uses a distinct mechanism that may more closely resemble one used in other less well-defined functions of Fmi.
Perturbation-response analysis of in silico metabolic dynamics in nonlinear regime: Hard-coded responsiveness in the cofactors and network sparsity
Authors: Himeoka Yusuke , Furusawa Chikara
Published: October 2024

Homeostasis is a fundamental characteristic of living systems. Unlike rigidity, homeostasis necessitates that systems respond flexibly to diverse environments. Understanding the dynamics of biochemical systems when subjected to perturbations is essential for the development of a quantitative theory of homeostasis. In this study, we analyze the response of bacterial metabolism to externally imposed perturbations using kinetic models of
Escherichia coli
’s central carbon metabolism in nonlinear regimes. We found that three distinct kinetic models consistently display strong responses to perturbations; In the strong responses, minor initial discrepancies in metabolite concentrations from steady-state values amplify over time, resulting in significant deviations. This pronounced responsiveness is a characteristic feature of metabolic dynamics, especially since such strong responses are seldom seen in toy models of the metabolic network. Subsequent numerical studies show that adenyl cofactors consistently influence the responsiveness of the metabolic systems across models. Additionally, we examine the impact of network structure on metabolic dynamics, demonstrating that as the metabolic network becomes denser, the perturbation response diminishes—a trend observed commonly in the models. To confirm the significance of cofactors and network structure, we constructed a simplified metabolic network model, underscoring their importance. By identifying the structural determinants of responsiveness, our findings offer implications for bacterial physiology, the evolution of metabolic networks, and the design principles for robust artificial metabolism in synthetic biology and bioengineering.

Authors: Devi Heikham Narmila , Sangma Gino A
Published: October 2024

Kachai lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.) is a variety of citrus, known for its rich nutritional and medicinal benefits due to its high flavonoid content and ascorbic acid. It has played a significant role in enhancing the socio-economic development of the tribal communities by generating income and employment opportunities. The Geographical Indication (GI) tag awarded to Kachai lemon has increased its commercial cultivation and market value. This recognition and growing attention have led to the emergence of agripreneurs and farmer producer organizations (FPOs) for production, value addition and marketing of Kachai lemon in an organized manner. The present study is aimed to compile the success stories, challenges of farmers and explore various Kachai lemon brands available on online platforms. A SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) analysis on production and marketing of kachai lemon was performed. For the study, descriptive analysis was carried out to assess its potential, current status and challenges. The study suggests that in order to compete globally, it is crucial to develop strong post-harvest processing and marketing systems with support from agencies and institutions to provide valuable resources and market linkages to enhance efficiency and gain economic benefits.

Published: October 2024

Nanotechnology is an emerging science and has wide applications in agriculture. Green synthesized nanoparticles are safer, cost effective and eco-friendly over chemical and physical synthesis. The laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of green-synthesized silver and zinc nanoparticles on seed quality of maize hybrid (GH-150125) during 2023-24 at the Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. Green synthesis of silver and zinc nanoparticles were mediated through neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract is as reducing and capping agent. The standardization for effective concentration and priming duration for silver and zinc nanoparticles were standardized from different concentrations of (250 ppm, 500 ppm, 750 ppm and 1000 ppm). For priming effective duration were standardized from six, eight and twelve hours inclusive of hydropriming and control (untreated). The effective concentrations of 250-750 ppm and duration of 8 h and 6 h from AgNPs and ZnNPs recorded higher respectively as compared to control and hydropriming. In laboratory, the seed treated with zinc nanoparticles at 750 ppm for 6 h recorded significantly higher germination percentage of (97 %), shoot length (21.53 cm), root length (20.17cm) and seedling vigour index I (4045) compared to control. Hence, the results conclude that ZnNPs at 750 ppm for 6 hours was superior as seed treatment in maize to enhance seed germination and seedling growth than other treatments.

Authors: De Anirneeta , Dey Avishek , Maji Chandan , Raha Subrata , Kar Dipak Kumar
Published: October 2024

In the current era, where drought occurrences are frequent and devastating, extensive study on drought tolerance mechanisms is imperative. Root growth under water stress is a key indicator of drought tolerance. Modeling a crop's root-length under such conditions aids in predicting seminal root length (SRL) and, consequently, its tolerance level. Under consecutive stress using Poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG), root length of a landrace originating from the drought-prone area of West Bengal, India was measured through image analysis and then mathematically modulated using an equation. The highest root length under stress was predicted at 6% PEG stress which aligned with the experimental readings. On the 15th day of stress, predicted SRL values were 104.67mm and experimental values were 90.00mm. Despite some over and underestimations with a low root mean square error of 14.68 mm, the equation provides insight into root elongation trends under various stress levels, offering a basis for predicting SRL and yield capabilities under water stress for diverse crop species.
Carne, Pedra e Comércio Sexual: a formação da zona do meretrício (1955) de Caxias do Sul (RS) através do Jornal Pioneiro
Authors: Luiz Paz André
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo objetiva abordar a formação da Zona do Meretrício de Caxias do Sul (RS) em 1955, analisando a prática discursiva do jornal Pioneiro (1948), que deu continuidade a Campanha pelo Saneamento Moral da Cidade, iniciada nos anos 1930, buscando a higienização do espaço urbano. Portanto, parte deste trabalho trata das políticas de segregação espacial que contribuíram para a constituição da região central e das periferias da cidade. Em seguida, será considerada a relação desse controle do espaço com a existência, nos anos 1940, de uma cartografia da prostituição no ambiente urbano. Essa cartografia, posteriormente, sob pressão da imprensa e outros personagens, tenderia a ser isolada em um local específico, designado na margem da BR 116, distante o suficiente da área urbana central, residencial e industrial e aglomerada o bastante para ser vigiada e controlada.
Os milagres de Santiago a partir de uma análise de gênero
Authors: Coelho Fortes Carolina , Lopes Frazão da Silva Andréia Cristina
Published: October 2024

Um dos documentos mais emblemáticos do medievo galego é a compilação de textos conhecida como Códice Calixtino ou Liber Sancti Jacobi, reunido em Santiago de Compostela por volta da metade do século XII, e atribuído ao papa Calisto II. Ali constam cinco livros: Anthologia liturgica, De miraculi sancti Jacobi, Liber de translatione corporis sancti Jacobi ad Compestellam, Historia Karoli Magni et Rothalandi e Iter pro peregrinis ad Compostellam. Nossa análise se concentrará no Livro II, o De miraculi sancti Jacobi, ou Milagres de Santiago. Figuram nesse texto 22 milagres que teriam sido realizados por São Tiago, especialmente em favor dos fiéis que empreendiam a peregrinação à catedral compostelana onde, segundo a tradição, jaz o apóstolo. Considerando que os eventos entendidos como miraculosos são parte essencial da religiosidade medieval, assim como é central para essa manifestação cultural a crença na santidade, pretendemos levar a cabo a sua interpretação a partir de uma leitura informada pela categoria gênero. Esta será entendida aqui, à luz da proposição de Joan Scott, tanto como um elemento constitutivo das relações sociais fundadas sobre as diferenças percebidas entre os sexos, quanto uma maneira primária de significar relações de poder. Nosso objetivo principal será buscar as marcas do gênero no discurso eclesiástico presente no De miraculi sancti Jacobi.

El asociacionismo en la comunidad anglocaribeña como forma de defensa del patrimonio angloantillano en la ciudad de Guantánamo en la primera parte del siglo XX
Authors: Duvergel Smith Lisandro René
Published: October 2024

Resumo
O artigo faz uma breve revisão bibliográfica da forma como alguns cientistas sociais trataram a ideia de associativismo negro na cidade de Guantánamo. O elemento associativo também é fundamental em toda a estrutura social em que os anglos caribenhos estavam inseridos e tomaram isso como uma estratégia pela qual puderam enfrentar todas as dificuldades (discriminação, xenofobia, perseguição etc.), que arrastavam seu movimento de seus países de origem, com o objetivo de buscar uma vida melhor para si e sua prole, sem abrir mão de suas raízes, alcançando assim a unidade e a cooperação em um espaço semifechado em vários casos. A pesquisa mostra a união por meio do associacionismo da diáspora anglo caribenha em Guantánamo, como meio da inserção e a conquista de seu espaço na sociedade de acolhimento no período da primeira metade do século XX.

Online / Distance Learning – Feedbacks A Priority!
Authors: Gopalakrishnan Dr. G.
Published: October 2024

A matter of current interest in recent times has been the noticeable growth experienced in the field of online higher education (OHE) and worldwide expansion, with higher educational institutions (HEI’s) offering a variety of programs. This phenomenal growth is mainly attributed to rapid digital transformations and a considerably improved demand for lifelong learning! It is preferred by a segment of the diaspora who have opted for higher education much later in life or would have faced obstacles as economic constraints, or failure in adjusting to work schedules, geographical and social barriers. Flexibility and access without time or geographical restrictions have been the most common reasons for preferring this mode of study. Feedback is a necessary skill for online instructors. Feedback is an important intervention for the online educator because it is an opportunity to develop the instructor-learner relationship, improve academic performance, and enhance learning. Effective online feedback from educators to learners is able to guide learners toward positive learning outcomes. An estimated 5.5 to 7.1 million students take at least one online course in the US according to the US Education Department and Babson Survey Research Group as reported by Kolowich (2014). India in recent years has found increased acceptance of the online education system, and students and working professionals have taken to different e-learning platforms in order to enhance their skills. A report released by KPMG India and Google indicates (Online Education in India: 2021), “the market for online education in India was expected to witness a magnificent growth of eight times in three years, i.e., from USD 247 million in 2016 to USD 1.96 billion in 2021”. This market is expected to grow multiple-folds in the next few years. An implication of providing effective online feedback is the positive impact for online learner performance.
Language Change And Languages In Contact
Authors: Menéndez Francisco Gimeno-
Published: October 2024

The hypothesis of the history of linguistics as a succession of paradigms was more appropriate to linguistic facts and to the continuity of history itself than to a substitution of models. One of the most assiduously maintained principles in historical linguistics was the theory of the regularity of linguistic change. However, both the history of languages in contact and linguistic change were part of acculturation, based on social and cultural diffusion, which implied the intrinsic relationship between linguistics, sociology and anthropology. It was not, therefore, a mere linguistic issue, but also a social and cultural one. In this sense, we had to differentiate two interpretations: 1) an autonomous version of the assumption of phonological regularity, and 2) a grammatical version of linguistic change. Within the anthropological history of Hispanic romances there was a linguistic and cultural continuity, based on the successive and diverse historical acculturations (Indo-European, Iberian, Phoenician-Greek, Roman, Christian, Germanic, Visigothic, Byzantine, Islamic, Castilian, Catalan-Aragonese, Hispanic and AngloSaxon), with the linguistic and cultural transfers that implied the social and cultural mixing of these groups, and the adaptation to a new sociocultural context. During the second half of the last century, great contributions to historical linguistics were accumulated, which were far from being recognized by historians of the language.

Many studies have been done with a keen interest in pastors’ children as they were always in the public display. This study aimed to explore emotional experiences of the pastors’ children on the expectations of the congregation and the emotional challenges experienced, a case of the Church of the Nazarene in Nairobi, Kenya. The objectives of the study were to: establish perceptions of the pastors’ children on the expectation of the congregation and identify emotional challenges experienced by pastors’ children. The study employed a qualitative research method and a purposive sampling method. In-depth Interviews were employed for data collection. Participants were drawn from Ongata Rongai First Church of the Nazarene and Africa Nazarene Church. The population of the study consisted of 18 participants. Data collection was done using audio recording. Transcribing was done using an App: Live Transcribe and Notification. The research findings confirmed that the congregation had high expectations from pastors’ children than their peers in the church. Pastors’ children were expected to be perfect and be role models. While the expectation posed anxiety and resentments from most of the participants, some felt that this expectation helped them to learn some leadership roles at an early stage. This study recommended that the church leadership develop comprehensive educational programmes for the congregation to help them understood that pastors’ children need to be allowed to go through the developmental stages like other children

Este artigo tematiza, por um viés crítico, o Projeto de Lei “Escola sem Partido” e seus desdobramentos no âmbito educacional. Para além da criticidade, este escrito assume o que denominamos de especificidade da escola, ou seja, elucida-se o que configura a escola, o “por que” da instituição. Outrossim, em movimento similar, apresenta a possibilidade de relações saudáveis entre a família e escola, na perspectiva de constituir-se um mundo humano comum, para além das convicções particulares e/ou individuais, como propõe o projeto em questão. Ademais, por uma questão de dever e de ofício, os defensores da “Escola sem partido”, se estiverem realmente preocupados com a educação e com o problema da suposta doutrinação e partidarização da escola, poderiam começar tomando, com retidão, partido por ela e pela educação

The Influence Of Job Evaluation On The Wage Bill In Public Sector Organizations
Authors: . .
Published: October 2024

Public service is the main driver of growth for most developing countries. It is a key component because it facilitates the delivery of services to the citizens. However, despite the efforts to grow the economy and deliver quality services, there are challenges with the costs associated with ever-increasing public sector wages. Although a well-paid public sector could be more efficient, the wage bill should be maintained at fiscally sustainable levels to enable the achievement of development goals. Kenya like other developing countries has been grappling with the management of costs associated with wages in the public sector, which were growing at an alarming rate. This is mainly because of the large number of employees, arbitrary determination of wages and implementation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. This study will seek to examine the influence of human resource strategies for managing the public sector wage bill in Kilifi County, Kenya. The study will particularly focus on human resource strategies such as job evaluation, total rewards, and performance-related pay and their influence on the management of the public sector wage bill in public sector organizations within Kilifi County. These public sector organizations are expected to be implementing these strategies although the degree of implementation may be varying. The study will, therefore, seek to find out the extent to which their application influences the management of the wage bill costs to a manageable level. The study will also examine the theories associated with wage management. The theories of equity, efficiency wage, and public sector motivation will be examined to determine their influence on the management of wages in the public sector. Questionnaires will be developed and self-administered to the human resource management professionals in the public sector organizations. This will enable the Researcher to capture perceptions of the application of these strategies in their organizations. Their in-depth understanding of the human resource strategies being studied will be useful to the study. The study design will be a survey of the 52 government organizations within Kilifi County thus the target population for the survey will be a census of the 52 public sector organizations. The sampling method applied will be purposive thus the HR professionals will be the respondents. The data collected will be analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) which will be used to establish the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The findings of the study will be presented in the form of tables, charts and statistical measures such as an analysis of variance
The Role Of StartupsIn Driving Sustainable Innovation
Authors: Kothari Taksh
Published: October 2024

The following paper discusses the critical role that startups can play in driving forward sustainable innovation. At a time when environmental concerns top the world agenda, startups have taken the lead in pioneering new practices in sustainability and developing new solutions challenging conventional methods. It investigates how, at their nascent stage, these companies can use unique strategies, disruptive technologies, and agile business models to lead the charge toward sustainability. Drawing on case studies from a variety of industries, it points out exactly how startups tackling environmental challenges—from reducing carbon footprints to resource efficiency and circular economies— do so. The analysis stresses that this kind of startup does more than just innovate; it sets new trends within the market and consumer expectations. It also critically evaluates the extent to which established businesses could learn from or integrate these practices. It thus points out barriers and opportunities for traditional companies to adopt similar strategies, while discussing best practices for implementing a culture of innovation that has sustainability at the top of the list. The insights provided in this paper help to bridge the gap between innovative startups and established enterprises by giving actionable recommendations of how the most cutting-edge sustainability practices can be integrated within broader corporate frameworks. By borrowing from what works in startup successes, established companies can enhance environmental stewardship toward a more sustainable future. The paper seeks to explore in detail how startups are really triggering a transformation in sustainable innovation and to inspire established business players to engage in these pioneer approaches

O uso de Inteligência Artificial (IA) nas salas de aula tem crescido significativamente, especialmente com a implementação de assistentes virtuais na educação básica. Esta tecnologia emergente oferece promessas para a melhoria do ensino e da aprendizagem, proporcionando suporte personalizado, automatização de tarefas administrativas e monitoramento do progresso dos alunos. No entanto, a inserção de assistentes virtuais apresenta desafios significativos, tanto para os professores quanto para os alunos. Este artigo busca explorar os impactos e desafios associados à implementação de assistentes virtuais na educação básica, abordando como essa ferramenta pode transformar o ambiente de sala de aula e quais são as barreiras para sua adoção bemsucedida. Os impactos observados incluem o aumento da eficiência em atividades rotineiras, como a correção automática de exercícios e a gestão de tarefas escolares, permitindo aos professores focarem em aspectos mais qualitativos da educação. Além disso, os assistentes virtuais podem fornecer feedback em tempo real, ajudando a identificar lacunas no aprendizado e oferecendo soluções individualizadas. No entanto, apesar desses benefícios, há desafios inerentes à utilização dessa tecnologia, como a falta de infraestrutura adequada, a resistência por parte de professores e alunos, bem como preocupações éticas relacionadas ao uso de dados estudantis. O artigo também discute as possíveis mudanças pedagógicas que os assistentes virtuais podem ocasionar, incluindo a transição do papel do professor para um facilitador do aprendizado mediado por tecnologia. Para tanto, é muito importante que as instituições de ensino ofereçam capacitação contínua aos professores, assegurando que eles saibam integrar eficazmente essas ferramentas no currículo. Ademais, o artigo explora as implicações a longo prazo dessa implementação, sugerindo que, com o avanço da IA, novos desafios podem surgir, como a dependência excessiva dos assistentes virtuais para tarefas pedagógicas e o impacto na autonomia dos estudantes. Conclui-se que, embora a Inteligência Artificial traga inovações valiosas para a educação básica, a adoção dessa tecnologia deve ser feita de forma cuidadosa e estratégica, a fim de evitar dependências tecnológicas prejudiciais e garantir que o foco principal continue sendo a formação holística dos estudantes.

Este artículo presenta la percepción de la comunidad escolar EBTT, de las escuelas vinculadas a la UFSM, con el objetivo de comprender los comportamientos éticos institucionales. En la gestión pública, el Código de Ética Profesional es la principal herramienta para determinar los comportamientos en el lugar de trabajo. Para esta búsqueda de percepción en la comunidad escolar EBTT, utilizamos la Metodología "Q", que comprende opiniones, creencias y actitudes que forman percepciones. Como resultado de este trabajo, encontramos cinco grupos de percepción, que variaban en términos de la relevancia moral, conductual y regimental del código de ética. Estos resultados requieren diferentes perspectivas y acciones por parte de los gestores de la comunidad escolar. Comprender las diferentes percepciones es clave para trabajar en la construcción de un entorno ético, y promover una cultura organizacional sostenible que permita el logro de resultados efectivos. Este resultado también resalta la importancia de utilizar y ver el Código de Ética, Decreto 1.171/94 como una herramienta de gestión
The Impact Of Consumer Environmental Consciousness On Hotel Consumption Intention: A Case Study Of Democratic Republic Of Congo Consumers
Authors: Carmelle Ngambo Yav
Published: October 2024

The rising interest in "green" hotels is indicative of a broader trend toward eco-consciousness in the hospitality sector. Environmental concerns are currently capturing the interest of Congo's academics, businesses, and governments. Sustainable development is seen to necessitate this. The study looked at how buyers' beliefs, realistic objectives, money, and the hotel's responsibility affected their propensity to spend more for eco-friendly hotels. The purpose of this research was to identify the factors (such as consumer awareness, environmental control policies, and consumer behavior and preferences) that affect the amount that guests are prepared to pay for environmentally friendly hotel rooms. The investigation, which took place in the DRC, used a quantitative approach by analyzing data obtained from 700 hotel visitors using regression analysis. This study contributes to the literature on sustainable tourism by shedding light on the variables that influence financial backing for environmentally conscious hotel projects. It also lays the groundwork for further research, especially in understudied areas like the DRC. There was a strong correlation between environmental consciousness and the results showing that consumers' perceptions of their own efficacy significantly impacted their norms and intentions to do positively. There was a negative moderating effect of perceived price, an external cost, on the link between consumers' behavioral intentions and their personal norms

A pesquisa analisou o impacto da implementação da norma ISO 9001 na qualidade educacional em uma escola pública brasileira, com o objetivo de explorar como a norma pode promover a melhoria contínua nos processos e na gestão educacional. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa e exploratória, foram conduzidas entrevistas em profundidade com quinze professores para obter insights detalhados sobre a aplicação da norma. Os resultados indicaram que a ISO 9001 trouxe melhorias significativas, como uma estrutura mais clara e organizada dos processos escolares, definição de metas, e maior capacidade de medir e avaliar o impacto das práticas educacionais. A norma também facilitou uma comunicação mais eficaz entre as equipes e resultou em uma experiência educacional mais consistente e satisfatória para os alunos. No entanto, desafios como a resistência inicial dos professores e a sobrecarga de trabalho durante o treinamento foram destacados. A análise sugere que, apesar dessas dificuldades, a ISO 9001 pode funcionar como um catalisador para a melhoria contínua, desde que sejam adotadas estratégias adequadas para superar os obstáculos e investir em formação contínua. A conclusão é que a norma proporciona uma base sólida para a avaliação e aprimoramento constante das práticas educacionais, promovendo uma educação de alta qualidade e adaptada às necessidades atuais.
