This study investigates the language ideologies articulated in the discourse of Guinean students undergoing professional training in Portuguese language education in Brazil, specifically in São Francisco do Conde, Bahia. It examines how these ideologies are constructed, negotiated, and co-produced based on the values attributed to language use in the situated practices of these students. The discussion is situated within the field of Applied Linguistics and draws upon critical socio...
This research aimed to analyze how the school newspaper "E.T.V." (1943-1960), produced by students and staff of the Vitória Technical School (1942-1965), constitutes an element of institutional memory and contributes to understanding how civism, Taylorism-Fordism, and discipline were incorporated into the school routine. Considering the institution's emergence in a context of transition between correctional-assistentialist education, characteristic of the Artisan Apprentice Schools, and the...
Introduction: Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic condition resulting from the presence of a third chromosome in pair 21. Currently, the life expectancy of individuals with DS has increased significantly, ranging from 40 to 60 years. From this perspective, premature aging is present in this population with significant characteristics and associated declines. Objective: To analyze interventions associated with cognitive and physical functions performed with adults with DS, and their possible...
Measuring the impact of public policies requires identifying the specific effect of an intervention on a given outcome, isolating it from external and confounding influences. This study proposes an evaluation of the Bolsa Presença program, an initiative by the government of Bahia aimed at reducing school dropout rates and improving the academic performance of students in the state public education system through the provision of financial support to families in vulnerable situations. To this ...
Oil spills in coastal zones cause persistent environmental impacts due to the deposition of hydrocarbons in soils and sediments, and the scientific literature still lacks remediation formulations that combine high efficiency with low environmental impact. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of anionic and nonionic surfactants in microemulsion systems; however, most of these formulations are based on petrochemical inputs, which are highly toxic and poorly biodegradable. To add...
Topological consistency in geospatial data is an essential requirement for territorial management. This work proposes and validates a hybrid methodology for correcting inconsistencies in extensive vector databases, focusing on the production of fiscal thematic cartography in Salvador. The case study started from a universe of more than 1 million CDGV features, composed of homologated and non-homologated sets, which presented 136,142 identified inconsistencies. The methodology was structured i...
Electricity generation still relies largely on fossil fuels; however, growing concerns about climate change, resource depletion, and increasing energy demand have accelerated the transition to cleaner alternatives. Renewable Energy Resources (RERs) offer advantages such as abundance, diversity, and low carbon dioxide emissions, but their intermittency and variability demand effective integration strategies. In this scenario, microgrids emerge as a promising solution by integrating generation,...
The thesis investigates the political economy of architecture and construction in colonial Latin America, focusing on construction sites to analyse the dynamics of labour, coercion, and resistance. The investigation departs from the ontological foundations of labour, following the Lukácsian tradition. This theoretical basis allows for an analysis of how the "available time" of pre-colonial societies was converted into "surplus labour" in the colonial context. The production of monumental arch...
According to the theory of political budget cycles, incumbent governments tend to expand expenditures during pre-electoral periods, especially in areas valued by voters. This fiscal manipulation aims to direct resources toward strategic sectors in order to increase the chances of remaining in power. However, the behavior of incumbents in pre-electoral periods, focused on electoral benefits, may generate losses both for public management and for the perception transmitted to the electorate, ma...
Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex phenomenon that presents in different degrees of intensity and impacts the quality of life, ways of being and interacting in the world of children with ASD, and consequently, affects their development and social participation. Objectives: To analyze and systematize the knowledge produced in Occupational Therapy regarding its work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), through an integrative literature review. Method: This i...
This research investigates how individuals construct the decision-making process for bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery (gastroplasty) is a surgical procedure aimed at drastically reducing a patient’s stomach to accelerate weight loss, focusing on the regression of comorbidities. The approach proposed herein to understand the decision for gastroplasty is based on participants’ narratives of their bariatric surgery experiences, adopting an interpretative stance toward the elements involved i...
Introduction: Camarajipe River belongs to one of the most polluted watersheds in Salvador, having been degraded due to the lack of sanitation and the illegal discharge of contaminated effluents. These metropolitan rivers are often populated by multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Microbial resistance is a growing concern for public health, especially in densely populated urban areas where antibiotic contamination can promote the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. This dissertation explo...
This dissertation investigates the role of literature in the construction of memory as a form of resistance to trauma, through the character Pedro Naves in the novel No Fundo do Oceano, Os Animais Invisíveis, by Anita Deak (2020). To this end, a discussion is built on literary language and its proximity to the language of the unconscious, in an effort to interpret the signs and metaphors constructed throughout the novel's narrative. The first part undertakes a more detailed reading on th...
This dissertation analyzes the rise of the far right in Brazil between 2016 and 2018, articulating the crisis of hegemony, the reconfiguration of the political field, and the role of digital social networks in shaping new forms of consensus. Drawing on Gramscian concepts of hegemony and counter-hegemony, it examines how the Brazilian New Right was structured in the context of crisis, employing social media pages as Private Apparatuses of Hegemony (APH), in dialogue with the traditio...
The present dissertation seeks to analyze the ideas of Alberto Pasqualini (1903–1960), politician, intellectual, and the main representative of labourism in Brazil, as well as the trajectory of labourist thought between 1954 and 1964. As the main ideologue of the Brazilian Labor Party (PTB) and known for articulating various theoretical influences, Pasqualini was responsible for the programmatic formulation that guided PTB’s political action during the Liberal Republic period (1945–1964), inf...
This dissertation aims to analyze the relationship between the precariousness of labor and the mental illness of nursing professionals. Initially, it presents concepts such as the centrality of work as a fundamental category in the transformation of the human being into a social being, as well as the distortion of work under the capitalist mode of production. It then situates the theoretical debate on work and subjectivity within the neoliberal context, investigating how neoliberalism produce...
The design of architectural envelopes with double curvature presents significant challenges related to constructability analysis. Although several studies address the generation, fabrication, and assembly of such forms, a gap remains in understanding how geometric characteristics impact the constructability of architectural envelopes. This research develops a method for investigating the constructability of architectural envelopes with complex surfaces during the design phase, considering geo...
This dissertation, developed within the Professional Master's Program in Health Psychology (IMS-UFBA/CAT), aimed to evaluate the quality and operating conditions of the Hospital Psychology Service of a general hospital in the interior of Bahia, using Donabedian's triad (structure, process, and outcome) as a reference. The study adopted a qualitative approach and utilized triangulation of methods and sources—interviews with psychologists, managers, and users, participant observation, and docum...
