Among the primary factors contributing to these occurrences are the lack of adherence to guidelines regarding prevention and control measures for Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), institutional disorganization, and a lack of continued education programs on the subject. This study aims to evaluate how the teaching of the topic of healthcare-associated infections is incorporated into the curriculum of nursing programs, from the perspective of the faculty. This is a descriptive-analytical study with a mixed-methods approach, conducted with 12 nurse educators from two Higher Education Institutions, one located in the state of Rondônia and the other in the state of São Paulo, considering undergraduate Nursing programs. A validated questionnaire, adapted for this study, was administered, consisting of open-ended questions about measures for the prevention and control of HAIs. The profile of the faculty was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the responses to the open-ended questions were studied using Content Analysis as proposed by Bardin, allowing for the integration of qualitative and quantitative information for discussion. The results indicated that the faculty possesses a superficial understanding of healthcare-associated infections, and the content regarding measures for the prevention and control of HAIs is addressed during field practices, as outlined in the curriculum. The majority of faculty members believe that the subject should be included in the curriculum through a specific course focusing on measures for the prevention and control of HAIs. It is hoped that this study will contribute to identifying the aspects involved in HAIs and that institutions of higher education in health can incorporate these contents into their curriculum, optionally, especially in the education of undergraduate nursing students.</p>2025-07-18T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1422IN SILICO PREDICTION OF ANTIDIABETIC ACTIVITY AND EVALUATION OF PHARMACOKINETIC AND TOXICOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOUNDS DERIVED FROM ANTHOCYANINS FROM BANANA FLOWER BUD musa spp.2025-01-21T19:59:14+00:00João Paulo Souza Simão da Silva[email protected]Mirian Bomfim Fernandes[email protected]Jociel Honorato de Jesus[email protected]Taline Canto Tristão[email protected]<p>Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that affects millions worldwide, requiring new therapeutic approaches. In this context, natural compounds have emerged as promising alternatives due to their potential antidiabetic properties. The work focuses on evaluating, through computational techniques, the capacity of anthocyanin derivatives isolated from the banana flower bud (<em>Musa spp</em>.) as candidates for MGAM (Maltase-Glucoamylase) inhibitors, as well as carrying out the evaluation of pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies, aiming at potential validation of antidiabetic activity. The methodology involved molecular docking and <em>in silico</em> pharmacokinetic and toxicology analyses. Validation of molecular docking showed that anthocyanin derivatives have high affinity for the MGAM enzyme, with delphinidin-3-rutinoside standing out for its effective absorption and antidiabetic potential. Although the inhibition of cytochrome P450 suggests caution with drug interactions, the non-mutagenicity and variable toxicological profile indicate a safe basis for future investigations. Challenges related to bioavailability, indicated by Lipinski's rule, point to the need for optimization for oral use. The results, demonstrating affinity and pharmacokinetic potential, indicate an innovative path in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The discussion highlights the value of natural compounds in medicine. The conclusion points to the need for future research to transition these findings into clinical practice, emphasizing the study's significant contribution to the advancement of antidiabetic therapies.</p>2025-09-02T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1430THE VITAL ROLE OF THE PHYSIOTHERAPIST IN PROMOTING SAFETY AND PREVENTING FALLS IN THE ELDERLY2025-01-27T09:15:18+00:00Julia Emilly Tres Tomaz[email protected]Luciana Rodrigues Borges Duarte[email protected]Lusiana Correia Gonçalves de Abreu[email protected]Frank Cardoso[email protected]José Roberto Gonçalves de Abreu[email protected]Vinicius da Silva Freitas[email protected]<p>The incidence of falls in the elderly represents a growing concern due to the significant impacts on the health and quality of life of this population. In this context, the proactive action of the physiotherapist plays a crucial role in preventing falls, aiming not only to reduce injuries, but also to promote the autonomy and well-being of the elderly. This study's main objective is to highlight the fundamental role of physiotherapists in promoting safety and preventing falls in the elderly. Furthermore, we seek to highlight the importance of individualized assessment and the development of specific exercise programs, adapted to the needs of each elderly person, as a preventive measure. The discussion focuses on the relevance of physiotherapeutic intervention as a preventive measure, considering not only the curative approach, but also health promotion and disease prevention. The analysis will address the effectiveness of personalized exercise programs, balance and coordination techniques, and muscle strengthening strategies.

Esse processo reflete a transição epidemiológica que acompanha as mudanças na sociedade e em seu perfil nosológico no decorrer do tempo. Diante desta perspectiva, o propósito do presente estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de DCNT em crianças e adolescentes escolares da região ribeirinha amazônica, bem como os fatores de risco associados a tal. Trata-se de um estudo de corte realizado com indivíduos de faixa etária entre 4 e 21 anos de 5 escolas da área ribeirinha da rede municipal de Humaitá, Amazonas, com cerca de 272 alunos, tendo sido selecionados 160 destes de forma aleatória. Foi aplicado um questionário clínico-epidemiológico, realizados exames clínicos e coletadas amostras de sangue de todos os participantes do estudo para análise dos fatores de risco e DCNT: obesidade, hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS), dislipidemia, histórico familiar de DCNT e hábitos de vida. Observou-se aspectos transgeracionais, visto o histórico familiar dos escolares com uma alta prevalência de HAS, diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2), dislipidemia e obesidade. Foram também analisados aspectos referentes à média de sono noturno dos escolares e uso de tela. O estudo evidenciou a relevante prevalência de DCNT e seus fatores de risco em crianças e escolares de uma comunidade ribeirinha na Amazônia, o que reflete a deficiência à assistência à saúde. Assim, é fundamental o desenvolvimento de projetos que visem analisar a saúde e as necessidades da população, bem como um diagnóstico precoce, a fim de promover melhora na qualidade de vida na fase adulta.</p>2025-04-07T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1519BIOETHICS IN PHYSIOTHERAPY: REFLECTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN CRISE SITUATIONS, WITH AN APPROACH TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC2025-09-08T21:07:57+00:00Jéssica Castro dos Santos[email protected]Ana Alice De Carli[email protected]<p>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.</p>2025-09-19T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1449COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEM FOR MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF SELECTIVE COLLECTION OF BATTERIES AND CELL PHONE BATTERIES2024-08-22T15:20:27+00:00Carlos Alves da Silva[email protected]Edilson Carlos Caritá[email protected]<p>The issues to which the management and management of solid waste refer, in particular the waste of electronic equipment, such as batteries and cell phone batteries, are increasingly consolidated as one of the great challenges of the country, states and municipalities. The National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP) is the guiding instrument for the performance and determination of responsibilities of all participants in the life cycle of electronic equipment, and consequently, of its derived waste. The objective of this study is to develop a computer system for the management and management of selective collection of batteries and cell phone batteries of a higher education institution. This is an exploratory-descriptive study, carried out through a case study, using computational methods and electronic equipment.

In view of the foregoing, the concept of Sustainable Development has been used in many situations. In civil construction, this term may be applied through the proposal of buildings that properly interact with the climatic conditions of the surrounding environment and guarantee comfort to their residents. In this sense, this paper seeks to discuss the ways of improving buildings’ sustainability from Brazilian semiarid, proposing solar shading devices to dwellings from Paulo Afonso – BA. According to the study of the geometry of the insolation in the locality, shading device models were suggested to protect windows from direct solar radiation, especially during periods when temperatures are highest in the region. The results demonstrate the need to use mixed shading devices. The designed protectors are presented as a means of reducing heat gains from radiation passing through windows. The analyses lead to the conclusion that solar shading devices contribute to a more thermally comfortable environment.</p>2025-09-02T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1476ALLELOPATHIC IMPACT OF CROTALARIA JUNCEA EXTRACTS ON GERMINATION AND GROWTH OF LACTUCA SATIVA: COMPARISON BETWEEN FRESH AND DRIED PLANT MATERIAL EXTRACTS2025-01-27T09:03:30+00:00Myrella Katlhen da Cunha de Araujo[email protected]Alan de Sousa Sousa[email protected]Edson Pimenta Moreira[email protected]Vanessa Cristine Serra Pereira[email protected]Robert Filipe Costa Nunes[email protected]Maria Rosangela Malheiros Silva [email protected]<p>Spontaneous plants can reduce agricultural productivity by competing with crops for resources and serving as hosts for pests and diseases. The intensive use of herbicides to control spontaneous plants has led to resistance and phytotoxicity, which affects health and the ecosystem. This study evaluated the allelopathic effect of Crotalaria juncea extracts (fresh and dry, at different concentrations) on the germination of lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa L.). The results indicated that moderate extract concentrations promote normal seedling growth, while higher concentrations cause an increase in abnormal seedlings and a reduction in overall quality. The form of the plant material and the extract concentration were significant factors in influencing germination and seedling development.</p>2025-05-07T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1478TRANSFORMATIONS IN SUGARCANE PRODUCTION IN ALAGOAS: TRENDS AND CHALLENGES FROM 2002 TO 20222024-10-17T23:12:46+00:00Luis Eugênio Lessa Bulhões[email protected]Alex da Silva Santos[email protected]Talvane Couto dos Santos[email protected]Ademilson Galdino dos Santos[email protected]Luiz Daniel Rodrigues da Silva[email protected]João Paulo de Oliveira Santos[email protected]<p>Sugarcane is one of the main agricultural crops in Brazil, with the country being a global reference in the production of this grass. In the Northeast, Alagoas stands out as the leading producer, and the crop has a significant role in the local economy. Given the economic importance of sugarcane for Alagoas, it is essential to understand the annual dynamics of this crop's production. This study aimed to evaluate the productive dynamics of sugarcane in Alagoas from 2002 to 2022. Data from the IBGE Agricultural Municipal Survey (2002-2022) were used to analyze six variables related to the production of this crop. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was also applied to understand the interrelationships between variables over time. Between 2002 and 2022, there was a contraction in sugarcane production in Alagoas, with reductions in planted area, harvested area, and quantity produced, reaching peaks in 2011 and showing significant declines from 2015 onwards. Productivity and production value also fluctuated, with an increase in the participation of other temporary crops. PCA indicated that the years 2002 to 2014 had better productive metrics, while 2015 to 2022 were marked by poorer performance. Additionally, the analysis revealed that, in the study area, a higher production value is correlated with higher levels of productivity. Therefore, it is crucial to encourage and implement strategies to improve both the production and productivity of sugarcane in the state.</p>2025-09-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Educação e Meio Ambientehttps://revista.faema.edu.br/index.php/Revista-FAEMA/article/view/1479ANÁLISE DA FLUTUAÇÃO ANUAL (2000-2022) NA PRODUÇÃO DE TOMATE NA PARAÍBA2025-02-02T21:36:49+00:00João Henrique Barbosa da Silva[email protected]Thiago Jardelino Dias[email protected]João Paulo de Oliveira Santos[email protected]Ramon Freire da Silva[email protected]Francisco Hélio Alves de Andrade[email protected]Luís Karlos Pereira da Silva[email protected]<p>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.
