BACKGROUND:The concept of developing a system of comprehensive rehabilitation and habilitation of people with disability in the Russian Federation, including children with disabilities, for the period up to 2025, includes providing early assistance to children and their families initially, contributing to the early identification of impaired functions in children, subsequent routing of children with disabilities, and prevention of disability in children.
AIM:This study aimed to analyze the development of a system providing early assistance to children and their families in the Russian Federation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Metadata of target programs were analyzed for the development of comprehensive rehabilitation and habilitation of people with disability. This system provides early assistance to the population of the Russian Federation. Data obtained from the monitoring of the early assistance system, including 83 indicators, in four directions, were analyzed: organizations providing early assistance services, children in need of early assistance and who received it, specialists providing early assistance services (form 1-RP), and during the period of implementation of the concept of development of early assistance in the Russian Federation until 2020.
RESULTS:The relevance of forming an early assistance system is considered from a demographic, neurobiological, biopsychosocial, organizational, social, and socioeconomic point of views. The number of children in need of early assistance increased from 296.2 thousand in 2017 to 407.0 thousand in 2019, accounting for 3.9% of all children aged 03 years. The number of children who received early assistance services increased from 223.4 thousand in 2017 to 340.5 thousand in 2019, and the coverage rate of the target group of children with early assistance among the total population of the Russian Federation was 83.7% in 2019. Factors that hindered the development of the early assistance system in the Russian Federation were regulatory and legal, informational, organizational and content, personnel, conceptual, and categorical.
CONCLUSIONS:In the Russian Federation, conditions have been created for the development of early assistance to children and their families at a new level. In the drafted federal law, early assistance is allocated as a separate direction of state policy, and the need for a synergy of administration bodies and departments (health care, social protection, and education) on unified technologies was noted. Several issues remain unresolved, namely, staffing policy, interagency cooperation, financial and economic issues, and others.

Published: September 2022

Verticalization is a mobilization technique that is aimed at preventing and treating impaired gravitational gradient in patients who are on bed rest for 24 h, regardless of their motor and cognitive status, and is conducted actively and passively. Passive verticalization as a rehabilitation technique is recommended for patients who cannot stand up independently and keep themselves in an upright position because of the severity of the general condition.
In the preparation of this review, mainly literature sources from highly rated publications were used. Preference was given to sources published in the last 10 years. Review articles and materials prepared by experts in the field of writing/editing scientific publications, including review articles, were selected for the review.
In the aggregate of the verticalization methods analyzed, the common recommendations for all are the early start of rehabilitation measures, continuity, and careful monitoring of hemodynamic characteristics. The technique itself today has more than 50 years of experience, and the combination of verticalization technologies with a mechanotherapeutic simulator with electric motor support is a modern solution for their application. This equipment can be used in both intensive care in addition to the equipment of continuous respiratory support and rehabilitation and other wards.
The verticalization procedure, if possible, should be applied at the earliest possible time after the traumatic event to improve the rehabilitation potential. The verticalization of patients with chronic impairment of consciousness has physiological features, and hemodynamic adaptation is recommended to reduce the risk of orthostatic cerebral ischemia. For patients with disorders of the central nervous system, preliminary adaptation should be conducted to subsequent verticalization by gradually lifting on a multifunctional bed under hemodynamic control, including the CNAP continuous blood pressure monitoring system (Drger systems).

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND:In cases of health disorders secondary to malignant neoplasms that lead to social restrictions and the need for social protection measures, including rehabilitation, disability is established. This is the most important health indicator of the population. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has significantly affected the management of patients with malignant diseases, and a more severe course of COVID-19 commonly occurs in older age groups.
AIM:This study aimed to analyze the dynamics and structure of primary disability caused by malignant neoplasms in the adult population in the Russian Federation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Thestudy object was a cohort with newly recognized disability caused by malignant neoplasms in the Russian Federation (by applying to the Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise). The main outcome was the occurrence of primary disability during the study period. Three age groups of the adult population (young, middle, and old) were analyzed. The study was conducted in 20102020. Research methods included documentary, data copying, and statistical and graphics analysis.
RESULTS:The dynamics of cancer-related primary disability in the Russian Federation was characterized by an annual increase in the number of people with disability from 180.2 thousand in 2010 to 214.6222.2 thousand in 20172019; however, this number decreased to 196.5 thousand in 2020. The number of older people with primary disability was the highest, followed by middle-aged people with primary disability, and no significant change was found in the number of young people with primary disability. The proportion of people with secondary disability decreased, and those with tertiary disability increased, with a negative trend in the growth of the proportion of people with primary disability in 2020.
CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of disability caused by malignant neoplasms may not reflect the proportion of populations with persistent health disorders because residents were unable to present for medical consultations due to the restrictions caused by the spread of a new coronavirus infection. The scale and structure of primary disabilities caused by cancer become the scientific and practical basis for determining directions for developing healthcare and social protection services.

Published: September 2022

Background/Aim: We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in elderly patients with small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC).Methods: Eighty-three patients (89 lesions) with HCC who underwent SBRT between January 2012 and December 2018 were reviewed in this retrospective observational study. The key inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) age ≥75 years, 2) contraindications for hepatic resection or percutaneous ablative therapies, 3) no macroscopic vascular invasion, and 4) no extrahepatic metastasis.Results: The patients were 75-90 years of age, and 49 (59.0%) of them were male. Most patients (94.0%) had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Seventy-four patients (89.2%) had Child-Pugh class A hepatic function before SBRT. The median tumor size was 1.6 cm (range, 0.7-3.5). The overall median follow-up period was 34.8 months (range, 7.3-99.3). The 5-year local tumor control rate was 90.1%. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rate was 57.1% and 40.7%, respectively. Acute toxicity grade ≥3 was observed in three patients (3.6%) with elevated serum hepatic enzymes; however, no patient experienced a worsening of the Child-Pugh score to ≥2 after SBRT. None of the patients developed late toxicity (grade ≥3).Conclusions: SBRT is a safe treatment option with a high local control rate in elderly patients with small HCC who are not eligible for other curative treatments.

Published: September 2022

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive age-related brain disorder. It causes gradual memory loss, changes in personality traits, confusion, impaired thinking, and mood changes Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitors have been chosen for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Dual cholinesterase inhibitors have become a new hotspot in the investigation of anti-Alzheimer's drugs. The current study was designed to identify inhibitors for both AChE and BuChE enzymes using computational approaches to accelerate the process of identifying an effective treatment for Alzheimer. From the available drugs, we selected families of the aspirin and imatinib. After the adoption of molecular docking, we found that fendosal from aspirin group and Flumatinib from the Imatinib group are the most active compounds. The docking scores for fendosal was -8.160 kcal/mol against AChE while Flumatinib had -9.433 kcal/mol and -9.541 kcal/mol scores with BuChE and AChE, respectively. The 10 ns molecular dynamics simulation for fendosal and flumatinib against AChE and BuChE was performed to evaluate the drug's ability to remain stable within the binding sites of AChE and BuChE with the aid of RMSD and RMSF plots. These results revealed that Flumatinib and fendosal are good inhibitors for both BuChE and AChE, which could be used in vivo and in vitro studies to improve outcomes.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this paper is to make an analysis of marginal costs for the industrial sector of Dosquebradas (Risaralda). It is developed to determine the incidence of marginal costs for business decision making; first, an economic analysis of marginal costs and their application in plant size investment decisions for an industrial sector is developed; likewise, an accounting and financial analysis of marginal costs is developed for their application at the firm level in sales price and break-even point decisions. 
 
Regarding the design and method of the study, a sample of four companies of the analyzed sector, which reported information to DANE by the Annual Manufacturing Survey of 2020. The data were analyzed using Montecarlo Simulation and lineal regression under an explanatory methodology. 
As findings, the overall data show the minimum marginal cost achieved is 103.3 million and the maximum value is 325.2 million, which is the marginal cost range that allows demand management and production capacity. 
The research exposes limitations that reveal a path for the future. First, the work uses data from DANE as the only source of information. Second, the sample size by sector differ in size and this makes analysis difficult. Finally, executives are very suspicious of cost information and only one company agreed to provide specific information with summary reserve.
The results reveal practical implications for MSMEs owners and managers and offer insight into the influence of marginal cost in maintaining MSMEs competitiveness.
The contribution of this work lies in demonstrating the importance of marginal cost to support decision making in MSMEs and the underlying opportunity to improve competitiveness, through the application of analysis methods available for such business units, which, despite their potential, have been little applied in this business segment.

Published: September 2022

Litter is a fragment of aboveground carbon stocks, a vital bridge to the belowground carbon cycle. Land conversion to agricultural purposes will affect litter production. This study aimed to compare the litter production of natural forests with cocoa-based agroforestry systems (AFS) in West Sumatra. Litter production was measured in five different types of ecosystems, namely natural forest (NF), cocoa-rubber-based AFS (CR), multistrata cocoa-based AFS (CM), cocoa-coconut-based AFS (CC), and cocoa monoculture (M). This study is quantitative research with the collection method. The difference in litter production between the five ecosystems observed was tested using ANOVA parametric statistical method. Litter was collected monthly for one year in which litter traps were evenly distributed in each research plot. Ecosystems of NF and M produced the highest annual litter (6.04 Mg ha-1 and 4.65 Mg ha-1 respectively), while CR produced the lowest one (2.52 Mg ha-1). Although this study did not perform comprehensive modeling of decomposition dynamics, the measurement of annual litter production can provide a further understanding of the dynamics of ecosystem carbon, especially in cocoa-based agroforestry.

Published: September 2022

Rorippa indica L. Hiern is a local vegetable that is widely consumed by Dayak’s tribe in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is mostly traditionally cultivated without fertilizers, resulting in low productivity. The research aimed to investigate the effect of fertilizers and soil type on the growth characteristics and N uptake of R. indica. The experiment was arranged in a factorial completely randomized design consisting of two factors with four replications. The first factor was fertilizer application (control, 20 t ha-1 of chicken manure, and 600 kg ha-1 of NPK), and the second was soil type (peat and Ultisol). The results revealed that the interaction of fertilizers and soil type gave a non-significant effect on all variables observed, except N uptake. The application of NPK increased the plant height and number of leaves significantly. Compared to control, the increment was 112.50% and 130.32%, respectively, and chicken manure application increased the dry weight (327.87%), N total (310.16%), and N uptake of plants by 478% in peat soil and 228% in Ultisol. This finding concludes that 20 t ha-1 of chicken manure can be applied to increase the productivity of R. indica.

Published: September 2022

Gunungkidul is a production center of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a carbohydrate source and raw material for food industry. AMF inoculation in cassava plants is known to increase biomass production. However, little studies have been conducted on the response of cassava to mycorrhizal inoculation and organic fertilizer. Therefore, this study was aimed at examining the effects of AMF inoculation and types of manure on the AMF colonization and yield of cassava in Gunungkidul. The research was carried out by planting cassava in Alfisol Gunungkidul arranged in a randomized complete block design with two factors, AMF doses of 25g; 50; and 75g/plant; and types of manure i.e. cow, goat, and poultry manure, for five months period. Rhizosphere soil and root samples were analyzed for AMF colonization and the spores number. The results showed that AMF-infected cassava roots combined with cow or goat manure application produced more spores than poultry manure. AMF infection and manure, thus, significantly resulted in better root proliferation, root forehead weight, tuber diameter, and cassava products, than the absence of both treatments. Cow manure combined with AMF at a dose of 25 g/plant significantly affected the dry weight of cassava roots. This study implies that applying AMF and manure provide a substantial contribution on the growth and production of cassava.

Authors: Saifi Shenaz G. A. , Karikazi Mubeen , Shetty Dev
Published: September 2022

Background: Abnormal growth of tissues in gynecologic pelvic organs like uterus, cervix or uterine adnexa are termed as female pelvic masses. Pelvic masses can be benign or malignant in nature. An efficient non-invasive treatment modality is essential for effective management and efficient treatment of pelvic masses. Current investigation is aimed towards estimating the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of ultrasonography in diagnosing pelvic masses and differentiating benign and malignant pelvic masses.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 100 volunteers for 12 months at ultrasound department of radio-diagnosis in a tertiary care center. Patients were examined through transabdominal ultrasonography, covering entire pelvis. Morphology of pelvic lesions were examined in longitudinal and transverse planes through Doppler coupled with ultrasonography. Post-surgery histopathological examination reports were correlated with pre-operative imaging findings.Results: Majority of patients included in current study belonged to <40 years of age group and exhibited benign pelvic masses. Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in diagnosing benign masses was observed to be 87.5 and 70 respectively with PPV of 92.1 and NPV of 58.3. Majority of benign lesions were hypoechogenic, whereas malignant lesions were of mixed echogenicity. Most of the malignant lesions showed echogenic focus significantly different from malignant lesions.Conclusions: Ultrasonography was concluded to be primary modality and best screening tool for evaluation of pelvic masses with high sensitivity and specificity for correctly diagnosing and differentiating benign and malignant pelvic lesions. Ultrasonography coupled with color Doppler was efficient in determining the morphological characteristics of pelvic masses.

Authors: Alves Ramiro Patrícia , Granado Romero Danielli
Published: September 2022

Novas configurações do campo nas sociedades contemporâneas vêm resultando na denominada nova ruralidade. Nesse cenário, o meio rural ultrapassa a dimensão agrícola, Ã  qual esteve vinculado durante bastante tempo, e abarca uma multiplicidade de funções, dentre as quais se destaca o turismo. Nesse artigo apresentaremos considerações iniciais, baseadas em nossa experiência no assentamento Nova Pontal, município de Rosana (SP). Mais especificamente, interessa-nos aqui o espaço rural dos assentamentos no Brasil, com ênfase analítica sobre os aspectos da divisão sexual do trabalho, organização social e questão ambiental relacionada Ã  atividade turística. Para tanto, foram adotadas, além de metodologia participativa, técnicas como a observação participante e a coleta de depoimentos gravados. Do ponto de vista sociológico, notamos que a abertura destes espaços Ã  visitação representa, por um lado, uma função simbólica relevante para campesinos e citadinos e, por outro, poderá vir a ser uma força motriz para a recuperação e/ou conservação do meio ambiente.

Published: September 2022

A fim de criar o conhecimento científico necessário para o Brasil entender e lidar com as causas e consequências das mudanças climáticas, o governo federal criou, em 2007, a Rede Brasileira de Pesquisa em Mudanças Climáticas Globais (Rede CLIMA). A Rede CLIMA precisa discutir questões, fazer perguntas, desenvolver metodologias e produtos tecnológicos, encontrar respostas e sugerir soluções que sejam relevantes para a sociedade. Em sua primeira fase, a Rede concentrou-se em fornecer infraestrutura e consolidar suas sub-redes. Houve também vários avanços científicos, alguns dos quais são apresentados em seções focadas em modelagem climática, agricultura, energia e água, desenvolvimento e mobilidade humana, biodiversidade e serviços dos ecossistemas, e saúde humana. Agora, em sua segunda fase, o objetivo é estabelecer colaborações entre sub-redes por meio de projetos interdisciplinares. Argumenta-se que, para que tenha sucesso, a Rede precisa fomentar pesquisas de longo-prazo cujo mérito não seja medido apenas pela produção acadêmica.
Combating Deforestation through REDD+ in the Brazilian Amazon:
Authors: Hall Anthony
Published: September 2022

Brazil is developing a number of REDD+ schemes in Amazonia that offer economic incentives to discourage deforestation and promote conservation. Building upon longer traditions of forest preservation and sustainable development in the region, REDD+ could be said to embody elements of a new ‘social contract’ that underpins resource governance, based on mutual obligations, rights and responsibilities. This will have to be founded on negotiated agreements among major stakeholders; namely, central and state governments, the NGO sector, private business interests and local beneficiary populations. Despite its embryonic nature and having to face major challenges of implementation and scaling up, REDD+ could offer the beginnings of a fresh paradigm in environmental policy based on a social contract that could help sustain low rates of forest loss in future.

Published: September 2022

O desenvolvimento sustentável precisa ser encarado a partir do entendimento das múltiplas relações causais entre meio ambiente e os atores do sistema. Em sistemas agroindustriais isso urge devido Ã  dependência entre processos de produção, qualidade dos ecossistemas, regimes climáticos e condições físico-químicas do solo. O objetivo do estudo é organizar, a partir de estudos publicados sobre o tema, os fluxos de Matéria e Energia já identificados para o setor sucroalcooleiro, apresentando um panorama geral do seu grau de fechamento de ciclo. É uma pesquisa descritiva com uso de fontes secundárias de dados e informações. Destacam-se nos resultados: i) reutilização do bagaço para cogeração de energia; ii) alta taxa de reutilização de água, que possibilita baixa captação deste insumo da base de recursos hídricos; e iii) possibilidade de tratamento da vinhaça, torta de filtro e cinzas, orientadas aos processos de fertirrigação e/ou biodigestão.
Discursos e práticas sociais da sustentabilidade a partir da pecuária bovina brasileira
Authors: Claudino Livio Sergio Dias
Published: September 2022

O tema da sustentabilidade é bastante abrangente, polêmico e multifacetado, especialmente quando se assume a existência de divergências sobre seus significados, como praticá-la, ou mesmo se é materializável ou apenas ideologia. Pontos de vista e abordagens distintas conduzem a diferentes mecanismos para a operacionalização e a consequentes resultados diversos da sustentabilidade. Esse texto tem por objetivo analisar a construção discursiva e de práticas associadas Ã  noção de sustentabilidade no contexto da pecuária bovina brasileira. O artigo fundamenta-se em pesquisa bibliográfica em diversas fontes, desde artigos mais teóricos, passando por relatórios de conferências sobre meio ambiente até textos técnicos e estudos de casos que relacionam a pecuária bovina e os impactos ambientais. Evidenciou-se a institucionalização tecnocrática de “modelos estratégicos” chamados de “pecuária sustentável”, que são distintos entre si, na natureza e forma e, principalmente, nas prioridades e mecanismos de efetivação.

Authors: Sharma Shivangi , Gupta Devendra , Tiwari Amita , Singh Ajit Pratap , Asati Pankaj , Shukla Sanjay , Shrivastava Kush , Sharma Rahul , Tiwari Sita Prasad
Published: September 2022

Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease causing abortion, stillbirths and loss of milk production in livestock resulting in huge economic losses. Leptospirosis in cattle has been under-reported and under-diagnosed in India due to non-specific symptoms, complex laboratory tests, fastidious nature of bacterium and lack of proper diagnostic facilities. Scanty data pertaining to epidemiological status of leptospirosis is available in land locked states of India including Madhya Pradesh, thus to fulfil the gap, the current work was conducted to investigate seroprevalence of leptospirosis in cattle. Methods: In the present study, cattle with a history of repeat breeding, abortion, haemogalactia and mastitis, were screened from various organized and unorganized farms of Jabalpur. A total of 300 blood samples were collected from suspected cattle and serum was separated. Enzyme linked Immune-sorbent assay was done as per the guidelines. Result: The seroprevalence of leptospirosis among suspected cases was 48.67 per cent, it was significantly higher in organized sector in cattle with the history of abortion followed by repeat breeding. High seropositivity was reported in older cattle.
​Antifungal Activity of Essential oil Extracted from Kaempferia galanga L. Rhizome against Fungal Phytopathogens
Authors: War Balasara , Kayang Highland
Published: September 2022

Background: Fungal phytopathogens are one of the main causes of deterioration of plant growth and productivity. Reliability of farmers on chemical fungicides poses a threat to humans and the environment. Therefore, exploration and uses of green and biological alternatives should be encouraged in the field of agriculture in order to maintain the overall health of a country. Plant essential oil is one such alternative that is currently researched and holds promises in unlocking the solution to this problem. Methods: Effect of the oil extracted from K. galanga by hydro-distillation against fungal phytopathogens isolated from different plant parts were tested using two different methods of inhibition viz., by direct contact method (M1) and volatile/fumigation method (M2). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) for both methods were also determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also used to show the effect of oil on the physiology of the pathogens. Result: MIC was in the range 1.5-6 µl mL-1 for M1, whereas for M2 the MIC was in the range 2-10 µl mL-1 air. The MFC for M1 ranges from 2-6 µl mL-1, with the exception of Fusarium sp. and Cercospora sp. However for volatile/ fumigation assay, the MFC could not be determined. Thus the effectiveness of the oil for inhibiting the phytopathogens differ for different fungi and the methods used.

Published: September 2022

Background: Symbiotic association with different microbes is an integral and ecologically vital component of legumes. Most previous studies focused on sole application of microbial agents, with limited studies investigating the effects of co-inoculation of different microbial agents under different tillage practices on soil properties. The current study aimed to assess the effect of tillage practice and seed treatment with different biofertilizers inoculations on the soil chemical properties and nodulation under faba bean (Vicia faba L.) crop. Methods: The study was conducted in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with two tillage system viz., T1: Conventional tillage (CT), T2: Zero tillage (ZT) and eight biofertilizer inoculation combinations of Rhizobium spp., phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) replicated three times during rabi 2019-20. Result: Zero tillage and biofertilizer inoculations significantly increased organic carbon, available nitrogen and phosphorus content of the soil. The number of nodules/plant, nodules fresh and dry weight/plant were recorded significantly higher in ZT as compared to CT and in seed treatment with Rhizobium spp. + PSB + VAM over other inoculations except Rhizobium spp. + VAM. The content of DTPA (Diethylenetriamine pentaacetate)-extractable Fe and Mn in soil was significantly enhanced by seed treatment with biofertilizer.

Authors: Jia T.T. , Chen B. , Ma M.
Published: September 2022

Background: Suitable planting density has an important influence on the high yield and quality of medicinal plants. How to minimize the development of its rhizome while improving the yield and quality of its taproots is one of the scientific issues that are urgent to be solved in the development of the cultivated licorice at present. Methods: In the present study, G. uralensis was used as the experimental material, in an effort to find a reasonable cultivation management measure that may limit the development of rhizomes of licorice but increase the yield and quality of taproots, three planting density treatments were set to explore the effects of density on the growth of the licorice and the taproots yield and quality of its taproot and rhizomes. Result: The results showed that with the increase in cultivation density, rhizome development and growth of G. uralensis were significantly suppressed and their clonal spreading potential was significantly reduced. The development of the rhizome was significantly inhibited with the increasing of cultivation density. It was observed that using the medium-density treatment gave the maximum mean value of the total yield and the total amount of medicinally active components (glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhizin and flavonoids) of licorice taproots every square kilometre among the three treatments.In summary, the best planting treatment for G. uralensis was medium-density.

Viagens pedagógicas e circulação de ideias sobre modelos educacionais para o ensino técnico no Brasil (1909 a 1946)
Authors: Assis Sandra Maria de , Medeiros Neta Olivia Morais de
Published: September 2022

This research aimed to present a survey of the production of knowledge related to the pedagogical trips abroad by educator engineers and funded by the Brazilian government between 1909 and 1946, for purposes related to the structuring of technical education. We analyzed academic production available in the Catálogo de Teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and in Scholar Google. We chose to search in scientific articles, dissertations and theses using the descriptors "Educational Trips", "Technical Education", and "Circulation of ideas and pedagogical models". The writing of the article is anchored in the concepts of educational trips (VIÑAO FRAGO, 2007; VIDAL, 2017; CUNHA, 2012), networks (FUCHS, 2007; PORTUGAL, 2007) and technical education (FONSECA, 1961; MANFREDI, 2002; PEDROSA; SANTOS, 2014). The results reveal that the research and the production of knowledge about the theme of educational trips, especially those carried out with purposes related to the structuring of technical education, is relatively modest, justifying the need and the relevance of new researches that address this theme.

The present article has as its theme the role of the Federal Institutes (IF) of Education in professional training for the world of work. It aims to understand this role, as well as the importance the IF have for the society. Bibliographic and documentary research allows a historical review of the vocational education trajectory in Brazil, relating it to different contexts, as well as to the dominant social projects of each period. The institution of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, creating the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, in 2008, the description of the objectives and pillars that structure their actions are also presented in this work. The analysis of the results indicates that the expansion of Industry 4.0 and the transformations experienced in the pandemic period give the IF even greater relevance in terms of integral, human and emancipatory professional training. This will contribute to the re-signification of the world of work, the relationships that are established in and society as a whole.
Currículo contra-hegemônico na EPT e suas relações com a centralidade do trabalho
Authors: Brito Leonardo Leônidas de , Silva Lais Rodrigues da , Barros Rodrigo Trevisano de
Published: September 2022

The aim of the present work is to present a theoretical treatment of the counter-hegemonic curriculum contributions to TVET through the centrality of the work. Human beings through work intentionally act upon the natural world and consciously alter natural elements to achieve predetermined goals. This way, it assumes a central role in the way human beings build their understandings and relate to each other in society. We maintain that the TVET needs, through its curricular policy, to make it possible for the work to be conceived not only as labor to increase capital, but as a tool for the full development of human capabilities. Thus, we understand that this displacement would act as an instrument of rupture with the hegemonic discourses installed by the TVET, and that they try to build false representation of the working class. To this end, we will conduct the discussions anchored in Ernesto Laclau's thought, which presents the dimensions of support of the hegemonic discourse, and its relations with the curricular policy.
Percepção da qualidade de vida a partir do ensino de filosofia em cursos técnicos do Instituto Federal da Paraíba
Authors: Alves Gilcean Silva , Pereira Diógenes Oliveira
Published: September 2022

Based on the potential of teaching Philosophy in the reflection on Quality of Life, with a qualiquantitative approach, this exploratory research investigated the Quality of Life of students and teachers in classes of integrated technical Accounting and Informatics courses at the Federal Institute of Paraíba, at João Pessoa campus. Two mixed instruments were used in the Physical, Psychological, Social Relations and Environment Domains, adapted from a form of   the World Health Organization, with a sample of 14 students and 4 professors. Quantitative data from students and professors highlighted higher levels in the Social Relations Domain and lower levels in the Physical Domain. The Teacher's self-assessment regarding Quality of life obtained an average index of 4.00; the Students’ rating for this item reached 3.85. In each case, greater self-care is suggested, demanding attention from the Institution and the social apparatus. The financial vulnerability of students was verified, demanding financial, emotional and psychological support, and the need for greater attention and support to teachers' mental health. The contents of the open questions were analyzed, using the methodology of Bardin (1977), bringing relevant contributions on the perception of the Quality of Life concept.
Trabalho, Ambiente e Educação: reflexões, pistas de ação e de pesquisa na "Educação Ambiental" e na "Educação para o Trabalho"
Authors: Bonfim Alexandre Maia do
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this article is to reflect on how the environmental issue (moreover due to its transversal characteristic) permeates the area of Work and Education (TE), considering a critical path and contemporary challenges. It is also a reflection about the meeting between “Critical Environmental Education” and “Education for Work”. Article with theoretical appeal that presupposes years of empirical research, readings and debates by a research group within this theme. The study reflected on two themes-examples, the pandemic and Brazilian agribusiness, associating them with the environmental issue, especially through critical authors, especially Marxists, marking the anti-capitalist stance. The text sought to show the movement of theory that considers concrete reality to indicate ways of struggle. Finally, the article reached that the assumption of socio-environmental conflict is essential for understanding the relationship between Work, Environment and Education, being possible to include other concepts such as work, contradiction, class struggle, among others. Concepts that are especially correlated in dialectical historical materialism.
Influxos neoliberais na configuração das Escolas Cidadãs Integrais (ECI) da rede estadual de educação da Paraíba: uma leitura discursiva
Authors: Lima Neto Izaías Serafim de , Silva Francisco Vieira da
Published: September 2022

The article focuses on the Caderno Modelo Pedagógico (CMP) of the Instituto Corresponsabilidade pela Educação (ICE, 2019) to propose a Foucaultian-based discursive analysis of the neoliberal incursion into education, especially Integral Education in the state of Paraíba. We take that document as a monument, from the perspective of Michel Foucault, to understand, from the perspective of neoliberal governmentality, how the discourses work. Discourses that attempt to constitute student subjectivities co-opted by the market premises of the formation of human capital from the Integral Education and the ideals of competence, work, entrepreneurship, and freedom. In order to do so, we resort in particular to the propositions of Laval (2019), and Dardot and Laval (2016), as well as to Foucault (2004), which concern neoliberalism and the procedures of educational transmutation in contemporary times. Our analyses of the CMP attest to the intention of constituting flexible and capable student subjectivities for the agile and uninterrupted change of the job market, having as a tool the creation of Life Projects in which the freedom of the subject is the vertex of both success and individual failure.
Pesquisas sobre violência de gênero na educação profissional brasileira e francesa: um estado do conhecimento
Authors: Costa Maria Carolina Xavier da , Lima Neto Avelino Aldo de , Thomas Julie
Published: September 2022

Gender-based violence occurs in the context of Brazilian and French Vocational and Technological Education (TVET). Given this problem, this paper aims to map research on gender-based violence in TVET in digital repositories in Brazil and in France. Methodologically, we resorted to Creswell (2010) to employ the state of knowledge. Theoretically, the work of Cisne (2018), Cisne and Santos (2018), Delphy (2005), Federici (2017; 2019), Saffioti (2004) underpin the discussion. The results point to the scarcity of research on the topic. Moreover, the study showed the existence of the following research themes: the sexual division in school paths, the reproduction of gender stereotypes, the invisibility of psychic suffering, the strategies of neutralization of the feminine in predominantly male courses, the coping tactics set in motion by women students of technical courses in Brazil and France. The conclusion points to the need for a better epistemological circumscription of the object "gender violence" and the possibilities of new comparative studies between Brazil and France, given the similarities in the history and organization of TVET in both countries.
O enfrentamento à transfobia no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Pará-Campus Belém: percepções sobre a Resolução 363/2017 CONSUP

The study “O Enfrentamento à Transfobia no IFPA- Campus Belém: percepções sobre a Resolução 363/2017” aimed to investigate the level of knowledge of the Campus Belém community about the institutional policy to combat transphobia at the IFPA. We sought to understand how the Social Name Use Policy is implemented in practice and what is the community's knowledge of Resolution 363/2017-CONSUP-IFPA, that guarantees this right. In addition, we investigated the perceptions of teachers, students and administrative technicians about Trans students. It was a quantitative and qualitative research with documental, bibliographic and field searches, through the application of questionnaires. The literature review was based on contributions from authors such as (2000), Peres (2009), Rios (2009), Alves e Moreira (2015), Bento (2002), Junqueira (2009), Lima Neto, Cavalcanti e Gleyse (2018). As a result, there was a significant lack of knowledge of the Resolution 363/2017 and the urgency of continuing education for the servers on gender identity, gender and sexuality, as a strategy to guarantee a human, critical and citizenly formation for all the subjects of Vocational and Technological Education.
