Published: September 2024

Construction engineering experts' competency is a major factor in the construction services sector. It is because competency factors become the dominant factor that causes both failure and success for a project. Construction engineering experts need to be kept competent; this is intended to ensure that a project can succeed and run smoothly. Integrating skills, knowledge, and attitudes will produce individual competencies to help them carry out their work. Individual's performance measures competency assessment. Performance is the result of competence. In many construction projects, the performance of construction engineering experts is the most required in the construction process cycle. A qualitative research design was adopted for this study, specifically focusing on a systematic literature review. This approach allows for an in-depth analysis of existing literature, enabling the identification of key themes, patterns, and relationships between work competencies and expert performance in construction. Then, micro performance and macro performance influence the performance of a construction engineering expert. The proposed conceptual model is used to identify the relationships and interactions.

Authors: Bruno Rodrigo Xavier
Published: September 2024

In the past decade, environmental issues have gained significant prominence in public discourse, leading to increased awareness and more favorable attitudes toward ecological concerns. This shift has been reflected in the growing active participation of individuals and communities in addressing environmental challenges, highlighting the critical importance of sustainability and the urgent need to tackle these issues. As sustainability gains global prominence, consumer purchasing behaviors are also evolving. Consumers are now more attentive to companies' sustainable practices when selecting products or services, driven by a deeper understanding of the environmental and social impacts of their consumption choices. However, effectively communicating sustainability presents a significant challenge. It involves more than merely promoting green initiatives; it requires building trust and authenticity amidst a landscape of expectations and public scrutiny. The rising prevalence of greenwashing, where companies exaggerate or distort their environmental actions, threatens consumer and investor confidence in eco-friendly products. To address this issue, it is crucial for companies to adopt a transparent approach, supported by verifiable data and independent certifications, and to set clear and measurable goals. The study by Oliveira Jr (2015) reveals that consumer purchase intentions are positively influenced when they are informed about companies' sustainable actions, supporting the findings of Choi and Ng (2011). Initiatives that reduce pollution, use recyclable packaging, and promote resource conservation have a positive impact on purchase intention. However, the communication of social initiatives, such as adherence to ethical principles and laws, did not show a significant effect.

Integrated agricultural production systems (SIPA's) consist of growing grain-producing crops with forage crops in the same area, in rotation, succession or intercropping. These systems, in addition to diversifying agricultural production, promote efficiency and sustainability in rural production, benefiting crops and livestock, are more sustainable, economically viable agricultural practices aimed at soil conservation. As, among the objectives of integrated systems, when well managed, they are capable of promoting improvements in soil quality, nutrient cycling, environmental adequacy and economic viability of the activities involved. As a result, the Integrated Crop-Livestock (ICL) system becomes a very important method, because it seeks to renew soil conditions, in order to make the most of natural processes, avoiding using external inputs. The ICL system is a viable alternative in edaphoclimatic conditions, there are many potentialities of the systems, enabling an increase in productivity and reduction of expenses for irrigation, fertilizers, soil conditioners and other agricultural inputs, integrating production, environmental conservation and socioeconomic benefits.

Authors: Rodrigues Julio , Vital Tales Wanderley
Published: September 2024

This study aims to evaluate the competitiveness of Brazilian fruit exports to the European market, through the Constant Market Share model and the Revealed Comparative Advantage, in the period from 1990 to 2009 and from 2000 to 2009, for the two models, respectively, using the following crops: mango, grape, papaya and melon. The result obtained through the applied model showed that in the first and second periods Brazil was competitive in the exports of grapes, melons and mangoes to the European market and that this competitiveness is due to quality; As for papaya, it was found that, to the detriment of the destination market, it was exported in the first and second periods without distinction. The country has a Comparative Advantage in all the fruits that make up the analyzed basket, however, even with this advantage in the production and generation of surplus, there are other determining factors in Brazilian fruit exports. Although national companies in this sector have shown a good performance, Brazilian exports are affected by systemic competitiveness that adds the costs of energy, internal transport, exchange rate and precarious infrastructures, which includes roads, ports and airports.
Goal and behavior setting: The structured and unstructured self-regulation model
Authors: Victorino Luiz
Published: September 2024

Self-regulation, the ability to control our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, is critical to success in many areas of life. This paper investigates the neural mechanisms underlying this complex ability, focusing on goals, priming, and the SUSR (Structured and Unstructured Self-Regulation) model. Initially, the neural bases of self-regulation are explored, highlighting the brain regions involved in planning, inhibitory control and decision-making. The importance of goals as guides to action is emphasized, and different types of goals (short-term and long-term, specific and general) are discussed. Clear goal setting and consistent pursuit are presented as crucial for effective self-regulation. The concept of priming, i.e., the activation of concepts or ideas in the mind that influence subsequent behavior, is introduced. Studies show that priming can modulate self-regulation, either facilitating or hindering the achievement of goals. The article discusses how priming can be used to promote more adaptive behaviors. Finally, the SUSR model is presented as a theoretical framework to understand the processes of self-regulation. This model distinguishes between structured self-regulation, which involves the planning and execution of actions in a deliberate manner, and unstructured self-regulation, which occurs more automatically and habitually. The SUSR model offers a comprehensive perspective on the different levels of cognitive control involved in self-regulation.
Theoretical perspectives on the socio-environmental conflict over oil exploration
Authors: Rojas-Bahamón Magda Julissa , Arbeláez-Campillo Diego Felipe
Published: September 2024

The paper analyzes the socio-environmental conflicts related to oil exploration from various theoretical perspectives. Post-materialism, political ecology, ecological economics, environmental justice, and decolonial theories are examined. Each approach brings a unique insight: post-materialism explains environmental concern in developed societies, while political ecology focuses on the underlying power relations. Ecological economics emphasizes biophysical limits and criticizes unlimited economic growth. Environmental justice highlights inequity in the distribution of environmental risks and benefits. Decolonial theories address how colonial legacies influence the exploitation of resources and the marginalization of communities. The paper illustrates these concepts with case studies from Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, and other countries, demonstrating how local communities resist extractive projects that threaten their territories and ways of life. It is concluded that socio-environmental conflicts are complex, rooted in historical dynamics and structural inequalities, requiring a comprehensive approach for their understanding and resolution.

Authors: do Amaral Larissa Lemos Gonçalves
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The development of healthy eating habits among preschool children is essential to promote improvement in quality of life in adolescence and adulthood. During the first years of life, the child builds eating habits through the experimentation of foods and the stimulation and observation of the food intake of their family members. Objective: To encourage healthy eating habits in preschool children from a civil entity in Belo Horizonte. Methods: Experience report on dynamics based on learning by modeling, using images of healthy and unhealthy foods to build a food pyramid. Positive reinforcers were used to consolidate learning. Participants were 18 children aged between two and six years, from a non-profit institution of a civil entity, of an educational and social assistance nature. The activity was developed in June 2018 during the clinical practice activities of the discipline Nursing Care for Newborn Health. There was a comparative evaluation before and after the educational action in order to measure the perception of the incorporation of knowledge, through the application of a free drawing activity with the theme: which healthy foods we should eat. After the presentation of the food pyramid and the food images, the children were invited to paste the images on the pyramid, according to the amount of food that should be consumed. Results: Most of the drawings of healthy foods made by the children after the intervention increased, as well as the choice of images that represented foods rich in nutritional value. However, it is perceived that preschool children have limitations to understand the role of nutrients and their relationship with food. Conclusion: The use of playful strategies helps the sedimentation of concepts by stimulating the children's imagination that favors learning.

It is impossible not to admit that commercial computational tools for structural analysis and detailing have become indispensable in the various applications of Structural Engineering nowadays. The importance of these tools equipped with graphical interfaces based on the BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment, is verified, above all, due to the flexibility and ease in making corrections and common changes during the elaboration stage, as well as the proposition of different structural conceptions, not always innovative, but almost always bold, as in the case of reinforced concrete ribbed slabs. The use of ribbed slabs in reinforced concrete is an old practice in Structural Engineering, which has encouraged the adaptation of commercial computational tools, both in the development of structurally consistent mathematical formulations, as well as in the development of specific databases, equipped with information from mold manufacturers and materials intended for the execution of this type of slabs. It is highly efficient in building structures in which there are numerous problems of interference of structural elements with elements of installations, such as large-diameter pipes for wastewater, sewage, gas, fire, and even air conditioning ducts, exhaust and architectural elements. This efficiency is mainly due to the fact that large beams are not considered in their supports, making the lower face of the slab practically without obstacles to the building pipes, and is also due to the low average thickness of concrete used in the pavement compared to conventional rectangular supported slabs and flat mushroom slabs. However, it is not always possible to obtain an optimal final result, even with all the adaptations previously described, mainly due to executive and computational modeling problems. This work intends to present a possible structural modeling methodology, which provides results within the limits of the feasibility of the slab, both in the construction aspect of the computational structural model, as well as the possibility of using materials from manufacturers and labor, using a commercial computational tool for structural analysis and detailing.

Adolescence is a time of intense change, where emotional support from friends, family, and teachers plays a crucial role. Mental health problems are common at this stage, highlighting the importance of social support in promoting well-being. The objective of this study was to describe the social support perceived by high school adolescents in public schools located in an area of social vulnerability in the city of Bauru, São Paulo. This was a cross-sectional study. Data collection was carried out through forms through Google Forms. Support was measured using the Social Support Appraisals (SSA) instrument and the gender of the participants was self-reported. The results show that family support is the source most valued by adolescents, followed by friends and, to a lesser extent, teachers. Friendships are highlighted as an important source of emotional support, evidencing reciprocity and trust among young people. However, teacher support was the least noticed, indicating a disconnect that can impact school wellbeing. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen social support networks, especially in the school environment of adolescents in contexts of social vulnerability.
Old and new friendships of Latin American immigrants

In view of the growth of international migration, including in Latin America, the present investigation aimed to analyze the history of old and new friendships of Latin American immigrants throughout their lives in the new country (Brazil, other Latin American countries, Spain and Portugal). More specifically, it was intended to investigate how recent migration affects existing friendships and the formation of new ones, with people of any nationality and culture. 40 immigrants participated in this descriptive-qualitative study (70% women and 50% between 30 and 39 years old), divided into four groups: A) 20 Latin Americans who lived in Brazil; B) three Brazilians who lived in another Latin American country; C) 12 Brazilians who lived in Spain; and D) five Brazilians who lived in Portugal. The instrument used was a questionnaire with open questions, sent and received by e-mail, producing written reports. In total, direct contacts were made by e-mail with national and international universities and educational institutions, as well as by messages on social networks with approximately 1,000 people, between August 2014 and January 2016. A detailed analysis of the data was conducted with a coding process (interpretation of the statements), and subsequent organization of the material into categories, based on qualitative content analysis. The main results of the study pointed out that most of the close friends are of the same gender and of the same nationality, and most of them reside in the country of origin of the immigrant. The ties in the immigrant's country of origin are close friendships, of many years, whose main means of contact are Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, telephone, e-mail, internet and in person, and the frequency of contacts varies from daily to monthly. According to the participants, it is very good to see friends from their home country, with the most common shared activities being eating or going to restaurants, drinking or going to bars and staying at home. Both old (compatriots) and new friends (usually natives of the new country or other immigrants) are important in the process of migration from one culture to another. The beginning of friendships in the new country happens, for the most part, in the academic environment, through other friends and through relatives. Finally, Latin American immigrants in Brazil and Brazilians in other Latin American countries demonstrated a mostly positive view of natives before establishing friendships with them; and Brazilian immigrants in Spain and Portugal a negative view.

Despite the progress in primary care coverage, the Unified Health System faces the challenges of guaranteeing health care in a country of continental dimensions marked by significant social inequality. Based on the above, medical students carried out a qualitative study that aimed to broaden the view of primary care and the practice of semiology in a different scenario from that experienced in Brazilian medical schools, expanding the horizons of medical education to other social realities. Three families from the municipality of São Benedito do Sul, recognized for having a low human development index and being an endemic area for neglected diseases, were randomly selected. Sociodemographic and clinical data were obtained through anamnesis, physical examination, capillary glucose collection and electrocardiogram, the latter for screening for Chagas disease. Future doctors were able to see, hear and feel the reality of a portion of the population that is on the margins of public policies. The need to reformulate the medical curriculum to deal with this reality was evidenced, based on the teaching of the values of clinical examination and alternative medicine based on the use of natural resources to modify this situation.
Case report – Kidney-Lung Syndrome (Goodpasture Syndrome) when to think

Lung-kidney syndrome is an anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, which is often characterized by pulmonary hemorrhage and renal dysfunction. To date, no specific trigger for the development of anti-GBM antibodies has been identified, and exposure of the alveolar capillaries to these antibodies requires an initial attack on the pulmonary vasculature, resulting in a typical picture of glomerulonephritis. As it is a disease of low prevalence, clinical reasoning associated with an effective investigation for early detection is essential for a satisfactory evolution. Good results are seen when treatment is started immediately. Thus, the present case report aims to discuss, through a literature review in databases such as Scielo and PubMed, the efficacy of an early intervention in a patient with initially unexplained respiratory failure and renal dysfunction, associated with alterations in laboratory and imaging tests. In addition, it aims to demonstrate the importance of quick clinical reasoning to avoid sequelae and increase the chances of a good prognosis.
