PLAYFULNESS IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING: A PATH TO MEANINGFUL LEARNING
The present work seeks to reflect on the importance of games in the classroom and their influence on the teaching-learning process, which can act as a device that facilitates school success with regard to mathematics teaching. It is understood that a child's good performance in the first grades and their consequent stay at school implies careful previous work on motor coordination, visual and auditory perception, verbal knowledge to communicate and express themselves, attention and ability to correctly follow instructions, also activities that develop logical thinking and others. The objective of this study was to understand how playful activities can help in the process of teaching mathematics, raising awareness among teachers and the entire school community about the importance of games and playful activities in the development process of students, especially in the initial grades. To carry out this study, bibliographical research was carried out, of a qualitative nature, being a descriptive and exploratory research, as it sought to gather in-depth information about playfulness in mathematical teaching. It is concluded that, while playing, children can be encouraged to count, compare quantities, identify numbers, add points made during play, perceive numerical intervals, that is, start learning content related to the development of arithmetic thinking.
BURNOUT SYNDROME AND OVERWORK: THE INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN PSYCHIC EXHAUSTION, OCCUPATIONAL EXHAUSTION AND PSYCHOSOCIAL CONSEQUENCES IN THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT
Burnout syndrome, recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a work-related disorder, is a psychophysiological response to chronic stress stemming from excessive and prolonged job demands. According to widely accepted clinical models, Burnout manifests through a tripartite pattern of symptoms—involving emotional exhaustion, interpersonal distancing, and a sense of professional inefficacy—which together deplete the individual's physical and mental reserves. This article aims to analyze Burnout as a direct consequence of overwork, outlining its impacts on mental health, job performance, and interpersonal relationships. The study employs a qualitative and descriptive methodology, drawing upon both classic and contemporary research in the fields of organizational psychology, occupational medicine, and public health. Findings indicate that a culture of hyper-productivity, extended working hours, and the blurring of boundaries between personal and professional life are key factors driving the development of the syndrome. Furthermore, the study highlights the correlation between Burnout and increased depressive symptoms, sleep disorders, cognitive impairment, and social isolation. It concludes that Burnout extends beyond individual health, representing a psychosocial and institutional issue that requires multidisciplinary interventions, preventive organizational policies, and sustained self-care practices. Promoting healthy work environments, strengthening psychosocial support, and recognizing mental health as a fundamental aspect of workplace relations are urgent measures for mitigating this condition. The study reaffirms the need to view Burnout not as a personal weakness, but as a reflection of systemic dysfunctions within contemporary work culture.
RISK MANAGEMENT IN COFFEE PRODUCTION: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the international literature on risk management in coffee production to identify research trends and gaps, as well as the most influential authors, institutions, locations, and journals on the subject. The search was conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) database, covering the period from 1968 to 2025, and yielded a final corpus of 222 peer-reviewed articles. The results indicate that scientific output on this topic remained limited until the early 2000s, followed by substantial growth from 2006 onward, in line with the intensification of global debates on climate change, sustainability, and price volatility in agricultural markets. The analysis revealed that the main risks facing coffee farming encompass climatic, phytosanitary, market, environmental, and institutional factors. Keywords such as management, conservation, deforestation, and biodiversity are prominent in the literature, suggesting that risk management in this sector extends well beyond productive dimensions to encompass social, economic, and environmental concerns. The findings also indicate that Brazil, followed by the United States, Australia and China, ranks among the most prolific contributing locations. Despite these advances, further research is needed on financial risk mechanisms, such as crop insurance schemes, the role of digital innovations in risk monitoring, and cross-national comparative analyses. It is concluded that risk management is essential to the sustainability and competitiveness of global coffee production, particularly for Brazil as the world's leading producer and exporter, underscoring the importance of integrated strategies to mitigate vulnerability and foster resilient agricultural systems.
THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM IN BRAZIL AND HOLISTIC HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: BETWEEN COMPETENCY-BASED PEDAGOGY AND THE RIGHT TO KNOWLEDGE
The reform of Brazilian secondary education, instituted by Law No. 13.415/2017 and regulated by the National Common Curricular Base and the National Curricular Guidelines for Secondary Education, promoted a structural reconfiguration of the curriculum by establishing competency-based pedagogy and the flexibility of learning pathways as organizing principles. Although presented as a strategy to promote integral human development and youth empowerment, this reorganization raises significant tensions regarding the guarantee of the right to knowledge and the democratization of education. This article critically analyzes the New Secondary Education, focusing on its epistemological, curricular, and social implications. This is a qualitative research, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, grounded in the sociology of education and critical curriculum theory, based on authors such as Saviani, Libâneo, Bourdieu, Bernstein, Young, Apple, Sacristán, and Freire. It is argued that the centrality attributed to competencies reconfigures the role of scientific knowledge in the school curriculum, producing a structural tension between curricular flexibility and educational justice. It is concluded that, in contexts marked by structural inequalities, the realization of integral human formation depends on guaranteeing access to systematized scientific knowledge, qualified pedagogical mediation, and the affirmation of curricular justice as a guiding principle of educational policies.

MORPHOGENIC CHARACTERISTICS AND BIOMASS ACCUMULATION OF MEGATHYRSUS MAXIMUS CV. BRS TAMANI UNDER DOSES OF AMMONIUM SULFATE
Brazilian livestock farming is primarily based on pasture production, which is fundamental to the efficiency of animal production systems. In this context, the nutritional management of forage crops, especially nitrogen fertilization, plays a determining role in pasture productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of nitrogen, in the form of ammonium sulfate, on the development of Megathyrsus maximus cv. BRS Tamani grass. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso - Confresa Campus, from August to December 2025, in a randomized block design, with five nitrogen doses (0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 kg ha-1 of N) and five replications. The variables evaluated were plant height, stem diameter, number of tillers, average tiller weight, fresh weight, and dry weight of the aerial part. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and fitted to regression models. A linear increase in stem diameter, number of tillers, and fresh mass was observed in response to N doses. For plant height, average tiller weight, and dry mass, a quadratic model fit was observed, with points of maximum efficiency reached at 174.63, 203.64, and 267.45 kg ha-1 of N, respectively. Nitrogen fertilization enhances the growth and productivity of BRS Tamani grass, with dry biomass accumulation optimized at a dose of 267.45 kg ha-1 of N.
METHODS FOR QUALITY CLASSIFICATION OF ROBUSTA COFFEE
Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) has gained relevance in the quality coffee market; however, gaps remain regarding the standardization of specific methods for beverage quality assessment, considering its chemical, physical, and sensory particularities. This study aimed to describe the methodologies used to classify the beverage quality of Coffea canephora through a systematic literature review. The review was conducted according to the PRISMA protocol, using PICOS criteria. Searches were performed in the Web of Science database using keyword combinations related to beverage quality, classification, and assessment of robusta coffee. A total of 28 studies were identified. Exclusion criteria included duplicates, studies published before 2015, unavailable full texts, studies without beverage quality assessment methods, and studies that did not include Coffea canephora. With the aid of Rayyan software, 10 scientific publications were selected for analysis. The results indicated a predominance of physicochemical methods in studies focused on production and sensory methods in studies related to consumer perception. It is concluded that integrating laboratory and sensory approaches is essential to improve the reliability, comparability, and applicability of protocols for assessing the beverage quality of C. canephora.
EXPERIENCES OF NURSING CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT
Care for patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) presents unique challenges to nursing staff, requiring adaptation of practices to mitigate sensory stress and overcome communication difficulties. This experience report describes the authors’ clinical care of autistic patients admitted to ICUs at two reference hospitals in Porto Velho – RO, relating observed practices to scientific evidence on the humanization of intensive care for neurodivergent individuals. The experiences highlighted the difficulty of managing agitation crises and sensory discomfort caused by environmental noise, lights, and invasive procedures, including, at times, the need for mechanical restraint. Nevertheless, success was observed in communicating procedures and actions, with continuous efforts to calm and distract patients. The reports emphasize the importance of specific nursing training, implementation of sensory adaptation protocols, use of alternative communication, and enhanced family support. It is concluded that overcoming the care barriers for ASD patients in ICU requires investment in training, appropriate protocols, and adaptation of the hospital environment.

It is a theoretical-reflective study, guided by a literature review, which seeks to consolidate a critical view of contemporary debates involving education, sustainability, and the climate crisis. It starts from the concept of critical environmental education, understood as an emancipatory practice capable of enabling individuals to understand and face the challenges imposed by current environmental and social transformations. The text articulates theoretical and practical foundations that connect educational quality, sustainability, and environmental justice, highlighting the role of the school as a space for comprehensive education and student leadership. It argues that, especially in Amazonian contexts, education should promote dialogue between different types of knowledge, the development of ecological awareness, and transformative action aimed at building more just and sustainable societies.
BEHAVIOR OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAINS BETWEEN AMAZONIAN ROBUSTA CULTIVARS IN IRRIGATED AND NON-IRRIGATED ENVIRONMENTS IN RONDÔNIA
Understanding the behavior of coffee plants regarding the physical characteristics of their beans when subjected to abiotic stresses is of great importance. This study aimed to verify the physical characteristics of beans from intervariant hybrids grown in Rondônia in two environments: non-irrigated (E1) and irrigated (E2). The traits were evaluated through physical classification of bean dimensionality, mass, and engineering properties. The association between traits was interpreted considering correlation estimates, and significance was interpreted by the F test of the individual and joint analysis of variance. The joint analysis of variance identified an interaction between genotype x environment, and individual analysis demonstrated a significant difference between cultivars in both environments. In E1, 40% of the cultivars had greater bean length, while 20% in E2. Regarding bean mass, 70% had a higher value in E1 and 10% in E2. The engineering properties, respectively, 30%, 50% and 50% showed significant differences between the environments for particle sphericity, volume and density. The difference in the behavior of cultivars between environments is notable, with some tending to present their best characteristics in an irrigated environment and others maintaining their performance under water stress.
SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION, GROWTH, AND COMPOSITION OF THE BUFFALO HERD IN THE LOWER AMAZON REGION, PARÁ, BRAZIL
Buffalo farming in the Lower Amazon is mainly carried out in small-scale family systems, with herds of fewer than 100 animals, limited by restricted access to credit, technical assistance, and technologies, which constrains both growth and integration into formal markets. This study aimed to characterize the spatial distribution, growth, and composition of buffalo herds in the Lower Amazon Integration Region, in order to understand the factors conditioning this activity. For this purpose, official data from the 2021 foot-and-mouth disease vaccination campaign were used, complemented by historical series of municipal livestock production. The region, composed of 13 municipalities, recorded approximately 108,000 buffaloes distributed across 1,833 farms. The results revealed a strong concentration in small herds: 64% of the establishments maintain up to 50 animals, while only 1.5% hold more than 300, clearly demonstrating a fragmented productive structure. Furthermore, the marked predominance of females in almost all municipalities highlights the central role of breeding stock maintenance and milk production as structuring strategies of the activity. Despite this socioeconomic relevance, the systems analyzed remain limited by structural barriers that undermine expansion capacity and regional competitiveness. It is concluded that buffalo farming in the Lower Amazon, although consolidated as an essential activity for food security and local income generation, will only reach its full potential if supported by effective public policies that expand access to credit, technical assistance, and productive technologies. Strengthening these foundations could transform buffalo farming from a subsistence-oriented activity into a strategic driver of sustainable regional development.

NITROGEN AND POTASSIUM FERTILIZATION IN SIMPLE CORN HYBRID IN THE SOUTHERN CONE OF RONDÔNIA
Given the growing demand and importance of corn, achieving the crop's maximum production potential is crucial. This study aimed to evaluate the productivity of a simple corn hybrid in response to different nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) rates in the Southern Cone of Rondônia. Treatments consisted of five topdressing rates of N and K (0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 kg ha-1). Plant growth characteristics responded to nitrogen fertilization. Significant differences were observed only for N rates in yield components. The maximum agronomically efficient rate found was 266 kg of N, achieving a productivity of 11,445.78 kg ha-1. The interaction of increasing N and K rates negatively affected the foliar contents of Ca, Mg, and B.
ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN BIOETHICAL PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED BY PHYSIOTHERAPISTS IN RONDÔNIA: A COMPARISON BEFORE AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
This is an empirical, descriptive, and qualitative investigation developed to identify and analyze the main bioethical problems experienced by physiotherapists working in the state of Rondônia during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research sought to understand, through Bardin's Content Analysis method, how these professionals experienced dilemmas related to resource allocation, decision-making in contexts of uncertainty, conflicts between technicality and humanization, and emerging ethical challenges in healthcare. The qualitative approach allowed for the exploration of individual and collective perceptions, meanings, and experiences, providing insights into the complexity of the scenarios faced and their implications for physiotherapy practice and bioethical reflection during and after the pandemic. Data collection was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire, developed and made available on the Google Forms® platform. At the end of the application period, four responses were obtained from physiotherapists who met the established inclusion criteria. Although the number of participants may seem small, this characteristic does not compromise the depth or validity of the analysis, especially in qualitative studies. The content analysis proposed by Bardin, used to analyze the responses, does not depend on large volumes of data, but on the relevance, consistency, and interpretative potential of the units of meaning produced by the participants. In investigations that seek to understand perceptions, experiences, and ethical dilemmas, the quality of the narratives is more decisive than the numerical size of the sample. Thus, even with a limited set of responses, it was possible to identify significant thematic categories capable of revealing emerging bioethical tensions during the Covid-19 pandemic and illuminating central aspects of physiotherapy practice in crisis contexts. The findings showed that the pandemic intensified existing bioethical problems and brought new challenges related to decision-making in scenarios of uncertainty and structural limitations. The identified categories revealed tensions between principles such as autonomy, beneficence, and justice, demonstrating both weaknesses and potential in physiotherapy practice. The results reinforce the need to strengthen ethical reflection and professional preparedness for crisis situations, contributing to advances in bioethics applied to physiotherapy.
ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION: AN INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
This study presents an integrative literature review on active methodologies applied to Engineering education, considering national publications between 2016 and 2024. The objective was to identify teaching strategies adopted in Engineering programs and to understand how they contribute to the development of technical, cognitive, and socio-emotional competencies outlined in the National Curriculum Guidelines. A systematic search in indexed databases resulted in the selection of studies addressing Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Flipped Classroom, Gamification, Project-Based Learning, and Experience-Based Learning. The findings indicate that these methodologies foster student engagement, meaningful learning, and critical thinking development. However, challenges remain regarding pedagogical teacher training, traditional assessment culture, and the lack of longitudinal studies measuring professional impact. It is concluded that strengthening innovative approaches is essential to align Engineering education with contemporary demands for critical, reflective, and socially committed higher education.
BIOETHICS IN PHYSIOTHERAPY: REFLECTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN CRISE SITUATIONS, WITH AN APPROACH TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Bioethics has become a fundamental field for critical reflection and guidance in healthcare practices, particularly in crisis scenarios. Within the scope of physiotherapy, its relevance is especially pronounced in extreme circumstances, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, which exposed significant structural weaknesses in healthcare systems worldwide. Officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, Covid-19 presented profound ethical challenges for healthcare professionals, demanding swift and complex decisions concerning resource allocation, care prioritization, and the preservation of patient dignity. This study aims to examine the role of bioethical principles in guiding physiotherapeutic practices during crises, with particular emphasis on the challenges encountered throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. It seeks to explore how core ethical values—beneficence, justice, autonomy, and respect for human dignity—influence clinical decision-making in physiotherapy, thereby promoting ethical and humanized care despite constraints such as resource scarcity and the urgency of medical interventions. The research adopted an exploratory approach through an integrative literature review, with data drawn from databases including the Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO. The data were systematized and analyzed using Bardin’s content analysis method and thematic categorization. Although specific publications addressing the bioethical responsibilities of physiotherapists during the pandemic are limited, the findings underscore the critical need for robust bioethics education within physiotherapy training programs. Decision-making in contexts of limited resources and the treatment of vulnerable patient populations highlight the necessity of reinforcing bioethical principles in academic curricula and ensuring continuous professional support. Such initiatives are essential to enhance the quality of care delivered and to uphold ethical and responsible conduct in response to the complex challenges faced by contemporary physiotherapy.
PHYSIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF CORN SEEDS IN RESPONSE TO DIRECT TILLING WITH COVER CROPS
Seed quality directly influences the success of agricultural crops. In addition, the use of cover crops has influenced soil quality, providing positive yields in corn crops. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of corn seeds after the cultivation of cover crops in order to improve soil quality. A randomized block experimental design was used in a 2 × 6 factorial scheme, with 2 [1 corn cultivar (Robusta), 1 landrace corn variety (Pontinha) × 6 (5 cover crop species – Brachiaria ruziziensis; Crotalaria espectabilis; Crotalaria juncea; Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) and Millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), plus the control (without cover), to evaluate the effects on seed production and physiological quality. It was observed that the cultivars and plant covers influenced the germination and vigor of corn seeds. Furthermore, the use of pigeon pea, Crotalaria juncea and millet as cover contributed positively to the increase in the dry mass of corn seedlings.
DATA ON CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS’ RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ARIQUEMES BETWEEN 2017 AND 2024: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF DATA PROVIDED BY THE CREAS
This article aims to provide information on the types of rights violations experienced by children and adolescents in the municipality of Ariquemes, RO. Using a comparative descriptive study with a quantitative analysis, data from service records collected over an eight-year period were analyzed, covering cases of children's and adolescents' rights violations recorded by the Specialized Social Assistance Reference Center (CREAS) in the Monthly Service Registry (RMA). CREAS is a public unit that operates at a medium complexity level, addressing cases in which children's and adolescents' rights are violated. The analysis of RMA data indicated high rates of physical violence, psychological violence, and sexual abuse, both within and outside the family environment. Understanding these types of rights violations is essential for developing effective public policies and appropriate interventions aimed at protecting and ensuring the well-being of these vulnerable youth. Therefore, implementing measures that promote the protection of children and adolescents is crucial to guaranteeing a safe and healthy environment.
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN TOCANTINS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ECOLOGICAL ICMS AND PAYMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
The perception of the importance of environmental goods and services for socioeconomic and environmental development is essential. In this context, this study analyzed the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of implementing payment for environmental services (PES) mechanisms within the scope of the Ecological ICMS, strengthening biodiversity conservation efforts. Initially, the similarities between PES and the environmental criteria applied by the Ecological ICMS in Tocantins were investigated. Additionally, financial transfers made by Tocantins to municipalities were analyzed, along with indicators of improved living conditions and areas with potential for biodiversity conservation. The study concludes that there is an opportunity to incorporate payment for environmental services in the areas of water resources, native forest conservation, and soil protection. However, adjustments to the existing policy framework and the design of a new governance structure involving a wide range of stakeholders and responsibilities are essential. To this end, it will be necessary to establish evaluation and monitoring mechanisms for the services provided, ensuring feedback for managerial entities and society.
PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN AND CORN SUBJECTED TO ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF LIMESTONE IN SOUTHWESTERN GOIANA
Some Brazilian soils are naturally acidic, and the main way to correct this acidity is through the application of limestone, which provides calcium and magnesium to the soil. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of alternative corrective agents, such as oxides, which are still not well-known and require further studies to assess their effectiveness in agricultural areas. The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of soybean and corn when subjected to a total or partial substitution of limestone with different oxides, analyzing productivity, plant height, foliar chlorophyll content, and soil chemical attributes. The experiment was conducted at the Invernadinha farm during the 2023/2024 harvest, starting on October 25, 2023, the day of soybean sowing. The experimental design was a randomized block design with seven treatments and four replications, totaling 28 experimental units. The treatments consisted of: 1. control, with no acidity corrective agents applied; 2. application of dolomitic limestone (4,378.92 kg ha-1); 3. application of calcium and magnesium oxide (7,882.05 kg ha-1); 4. calcium oxide (4,777 kg ha-1); 5. calcium oxide enriched with sulfur (3,153.9 kg ha-1); 6. dolomitic limestone (2,314.12 kg ha-1) and calcium oxide enriched with sulfur (3,622.1 kg ha-1); 7. calcium and magnesium oxide (4,165.42 kg ha-1) and calcium oxide enriched with sulfur (3,622.1 kg ha-1). The different acidity correction treatments did not influence the productivity of the crops. However, sulfur increased its levels in the 0 to 0.2 m and 0.2 to 0.4 m soil layers in the treatments where calcium oxide with sulfur was used or mixed with other acidity corrective agents. The SPAD index of chlorophyll B and total chlorophyll was affected by the different soil acidity management practices.
TABOOS AND MYTHS: UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS ON HUMAN SEXUALITY
The study of human sexuality is essential to understanding the biopsychosocial behavior and well-being of individuals. However, sexuality still faces significant barriers due to myths, taboos, and prejudices, often shaped by power discourses from institutions such as the Church, the State, Medicine, and the Family. This work aims to explore how these beliefs affect the formation of sexual identities and well-being. It is a literature review with a qualitative approach and critical analysis. Sources include Google Scholar, SCIELO, PEPSIC, LILACS, the Brazilian Journal of Human Sexuality, the Interface Journal, and other electronic journals and physical books in Portuguese and foreign languages, covering publications from 2008 to 2023. The descriptors used were: “Human sexuality,” “Sexual myths,” “Construction of sexuality,” “Taboos about sexuality,” and “Sexual education.” The analysis reveals that silence, censorship, and misinformation perpetuate prejudices and stigmas that negatively impact individuals' sexual health and psychosocial development. Sexual education is emphasized as a crucial practice to reduce prejudice, provide proper guidance, and promote respect and sexual autonomy. The study concludes that a robust educational approach is necessary to overcome the cultural and social barriers imposed by myths and taboos, contributing to building a more informed and inclusive society. The deconstruction of these beliefs is fundamental for achieving a stigma-free and fulfilling sexuality, allowing each individual to experience their sexuality in a healthy and autonomous way.

CULTURA DE SEGURANÇA E ENGENHARIA DE RESILIÊNCIA EM EMERGÊNCIAS HOSPITALARES: UMA REVISÃO DE ESCOPO DA LITERATURA COM FOCO NA SEGURANÇA OCUPACIONAL
A Cultura de Segurança (CS) e a Engenharia de Resiliência (ER) representam conceitos fundamentais para garantia da segurança em ambientes hospitalares. A CS reflete os padrões de comportamento que determinam o compromisso organizacional com a segurança, saúde e bem-estar dos trabalhadores, enquanto a ER contribui para projetar sistemas e processos que funcionem em condições reais, adaptando-se, aprendendo e respondendo a condições complexas, incertezas, eventos inesperados ou distúrbios. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi explorar os mecanismos para avaliação da CS e ER em ambientes de emergência hospitalar, focados na segurança ocupacional, por meio de uma revisão de escopo realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science e Google Scholar. O processo de triagem incluiu 36 estudos, divididos em mecanismos para a avaliação da CS (n=27) e mecanismos para a avaliação da ER (n=9). O Safety Attitudes Questionnaire - SAQ foi o instrumento de avaliação de CS com maior recorrência. Enquanto, a Resilient Assessment Grid - RAG se mostrou uma ferramenta consolidada para avaliar a resiliência em ambientes hospitalares. Os resultados indicaram que as abordagens podem contribuir para a avaliação da segurança ocupacional, entretanto, há uma limitação de métodos para operacionalizá-las e mensurá-las. Além disso, os estudos demonstraram que há uma inconsistência na definição das dimensões da cultura de segurança entre profissionais e pesquisadores de saúde e segurança do trabalho, fazendo com que a construção da cultura de segurança seja frequentemente confundida com o clima de segurança.
PRESCRIPTION AND USE OF ANTIMICROBIALS BY VETERINARY DOCTORS IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND ONE HEALTH
Antimicrobial resistance is considered one of the major challenges facing contemporary health systems. Antimicrobials are among the most frequently prescribed and dispensed classes of drugs for therapeutic and prophylactic use, and the indiscriminate use of these substances in humans and animals is recognized as one of the main causes of the development of antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this context, awareness regarding prescription practices, rational use, and proper disposal of these drugs in human and animal health is essential. The aim of this study was to investigate, in municipalities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, whether veterinarians are aware of their role within the One Health framework, to identify the criteria used for the selection and prescription of antimicrobials, and to assess professionals’ perceptions of how their conduct may contribute to antimicrobial resistance. This is a cross-sectional, observational study with a quantitative approach, conducted between August 2021 and January 2022, through the application of a structured questionnaire containing 18 objective questions, administered to 126 veterinarians working in municipalities across all mesoregions of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data collection was carried out online through voluntary completion of a questionnaire developed on the Google Forms platform and disseminated via WhatsApp, e-mail, and Instagram. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that most veterinarians recognize their importance within the One Health context; however, a high frequency of empirical antimicrobial prescription was observed. The main barriers reported to the limited use of antimicrobial susceptibility testing were the cost of the examination and the time required to obtain laboratory results.
PHYTOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN INFLORESCENCES OF BANANA TREES (Musa spp.)
This study aimed to characterize the phytochemical profile and evaluate the antioxidant activity of banana (Musa spp.) inflorescences. Extraction was performed by hydroalcoholic maceration, followed by qualitative phytochemical analysis, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) profile, and assessment of antioxidant activity using the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) method. Qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of steroids/triterpenes, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds in the extracts. TLC chromatographic profiles showed distinct compound patterns among the banana varieties studied. The FRAP assay demonstrated significant antioxidant activity in all extracts, with dose-dependent responses. The study suggests that banana inflorescences are a potential source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties, highlighting their potential for therapeutic and nutritional applications.
INTERACTION OF NITROGEN AND SULFUR IN WHEAT CROPS CULTIVATED IN THE CERRADO
Wheat productivity and quality can be influenced by plant nutrition, and the interaction between nutrients can be synergistic or antagonistic, especially in the interaction between nitrogen and sulfur. The objective of this study was to verify the effect of the interaction between nitrogen and sulfur on the agronomic performance and technological quality of irrigated wheat in Cerrado conditions. The experiment was installed in an experimental area at the Federal University of Rondonópolis. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replications. four repetitions. The nitrogen (N) doses tested were 0, 70, 140, 210 and 280 kg ha-1, and the sulfur (S) doses were 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1, totaling 13 treatments across the combinations between the 2 nutrients. The variables analyzed referred to the agronomic performance and technological quality of the grains. The response surface model and terms (linear, quadratic and interaction) were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and checking for lack of fit (Lack of fit), using the F test (p<0.05). In cases where the response surface model selection criteria were not met, the isolated effects and interaction of factors were analyzed using polynomial regression analysis. For the significance of the effects, the ANOVA F test (p<0.05) and the Student's t test (p<0.05) were considered. The agronomic performance and technological quality of irrigated wheat grown under Cerrado conditions are influenced by nitrogen doses between 176 and 280 kg ha-1 and sulfur between 38 and 100 kg ha-1.
RESIDUAL TOXICITY OF CHLORANTRANILIPROLE + ABAMECTIN IN MELON LEAVES ON Apis mellifera
In melon (Cucumis melo) growing areas, it is essential to use insecticides to control pests, what the can impact bee populations, such as Apis mellifera. In this context, knowing the toxicity of insecticides on bees is essential for the conservation of pollinators in agricultural areas. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the residual toxicity of commercial doses of the insecticide Clorantraniliprole + Abamectin on A. mellifera in melon leaves. The experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions, in a completely randomized design and a 4x3 factorial scheme, consisting of two commercial doses of the insecticide Clorantraniliprole + Abamectin (0.0108 g a.i./L-1 of Abamectin + 0.027 g a.i./L-1 of Chlorantraniliprole and 0.018 g a.i./L-1 of Abamectin + 0.045 g a.i./L-1 of Chlorantraniliprole), absolute control (distilled water) and positive control (thiamethoxam: 0.3 g a.i./L-1) in three exposure times (1h, 2h and 3h) after spraying. Mortality and motor functions were evaluated during 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 12h, 24h and 48h hours after exposure, in addition, an analysis of the flight capacity of the surviving bees was carried out. The insecticide Chlorantraniliprole + Abamectin, regardless of dose and exposure time, caused 100% mortality in A. mellifera. The median lethal time (TL50) of Chlorantraniliprole + Abamectin was lower than the TL50 of the absolute control and higher than the TL50 of the positive control, regardless of the exposure time after spraying each dose. Chlorantraniliprole + Abamectin proved to be highly toxic when in residual contact, regardless of doses and time interval after spraying.

ANÁLISE DA FLUTUAÇÃO ANUAL (2000-2022) NA PRODUÇÃO DE TOMATE NA PARAÍBA
O tomate, hortaliça de significativa importância pela sua aceitabilidade e valor nutricional, é cultivado e consumido globalmente desde o século XVI, permanecendo como uma cultura relevante no contexto agrícola do Brasil e, particularmente, no estado da Paraíba. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a dinâmica produtiva da cultura do tomate na Paraíba durante o período entre 2000 e 2022. Portanto, para esta análise, foram analisados dados do banco de informações da Pesquisa Agropecuária Municipal, disponibilizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). O Sistema de Recuperação Automática (SIDRA) foi utilizado para extrair informações pertinentes à área plantada, área colhida, quantidade produzida, produtividade média e valor da produção de tomate naquele estado. Os resultados obtidos revelaram variabilidade temporal na produção de tomate, particularmente evidente nas flutuações nas áreas destinadas ao plantio e à colheita. Devido à relevância econômica da cultura do tomate para o estado da Paraíba, faz-se necessário estimular e implementar estratégias que visem à melhoria da produtividade desta cultura.
SEED SIZE AND PRE-GERMINATION TREATMENTS ON GERMINATION AND GROWTH OF Ormosia paraensis Ducke
Studies diverses have already demonstrated the importance of overcoming dormancy in Ormosia paraensis seeds. However, there are no reports considering the effect of seed size combined with scarification on the germination of Ormosia paraensis. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of seed size related to mechanical and chemical scarification on the germination and initial growth of Ormosia paraensis seedlings. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design, in a 3 x 3 factorial scheme: three seed size classes (small, medium and large) and three scarification methods (mechanical, immersion in 98% sulfuric acid for 15 and 30 minutes, respectively ), with four replications of 25 seeds. Germinated seeds were counted daily until the 20th day and the germination percentage (GP), mean germination time (MGT) and germination speed index (GI) were calculated. For the seedling performance test, 10 germinated seeds from each treatment were transferred to 110 cm3 tubes and kept for 30 days in the nursery. At this stage, the following were evaluated: stem diameter (SD), shoot height (SH), root length (RL), fresh mass of the shoot (FMS) and root (FMR). Data analysis indicates that large mechanically scarified seeds promoted the highest averages in the variables %G, GSI, SD, SH and FMS, except for RL and FMR. The large seed category combined with mechanical scarification promotes greater germination and more vigorous seedlings of Ormosia paraensis.
LAW AND SOCIETY: REFLECTIONS ON INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN SOCIAL AND LEGAL SCIENCES
The study explores the interaction between social sciences and law, focusing on the influence of social sciences on legal research and writing, analyzing law as a social phenomenon in contemporary society. The Narrative Literature Review (NLR) methodology was used to provide an overview of current knowledge and an interpretative synthesis of the topic. The analysis highlights the need to overcome unidirectional dialogues by promoting an interdisciplinary approach to legal research. Interdisciplinarity is essential for understanding the interactions between law and society, overcoming unidisciplinary limitations, and fostering more contextualized analyses of social and legal issues. The study emphasizes the complementarity between social and legal sciences, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary integration to make research more relevant to society.
