Artificial Intelligence and Consumer Trend Prediction in the Education of Marketing Professionals
This study analyzes the strategic role of artificial intelligence in predicting consumer trends and its integration into the academic training of marketing professionals. A qualitative multiple case study approach was employed, examining five companies that use artificial intelligence for consumer behavior analysis and three academic programs that incorporate these technologies into their curricula. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentary review and analyzed using thematic coding. Findings indicate that machine learning and natural language processing tools enable demand forecasting, segmentation optimization, and personalized marketing strategies. However, significant gaps remain in higher education regarding technical competencies and practical application of predictive tools. The study proposes an integrative educational model aimed at strengthening academia-industry collaboration and promoting ethical and sustainable data use.

Sustainable public procurement and its impact on corporate sustainable innovation: a systematic review
Objective: To analyze how the incorporation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria in public procurement induces sustainable innovation in the supplier market. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted in the Web of Science database, with a sample of 22 articles from 2025, analyzed through an integrative approach that cross-references theoretical and empirical evidence on implementation, institutional barriers, and impacts. Results: There is consensus that legal frameworks are necessary but insufficient; the critical factor is institutional capacity, particularly the dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, and transforming) of public buyers. Evidence indicates that sustainable procurement primarily stimulates process innovation and resource-use efficiency through a demand-pull mechanism. Tensions were identified between administrative centralization and flexibility for innovation, as well as risks in measuring social value. Conclusion: The success of ESG procurement requires a transition from a logic of bureaucratic compliance toward strategic governance, with an agenda oriented toward climate adaptation and emerging economies.

The Farce of the World: The Matrix of the Prince of This World and the Subversion of Religious Systems
This article analyzes the theme "The farce of the world: the matrix of the prince of this world and the subversion of religious systems," through an interdisciplinary approach that articulates philosophy, sociology, and theology. It investigates how classical and modern thinkers, such as Plato, Socrates, Nietzsche, Marx, Weber, Foucault, and Brandenburg, contribute to understanding the construction of social farces that distance human beings from the transcendent reality revealed in Jesus Christ. It also addresses how technology, the media, and political power reinforce a "matrix" of domination in Brazil and Latin America, manipulating religious practices and beliefs. Empirical data on intolerance, fake news, and political religiosity are presented. The analysis shows the contrast between the farce of the world and the biblical truth about the "prince of this world." The results point to the urgent need for critical and spiritual discernment in the educational and ecclesial spheres.

The historical development of higher education in colonial Brazil (1500–1822)
The formation of higher education in Brazil constitutes a central issue in historiographical debates on education and state-building. Specialized literature has extensively discussed the reasons for the late institutionalization of universities in Portuguese America, contrasting interpretations that attribute this delay to the absence of social demand with those that emphasize deliberate political strategies adopted by the Portuguese Crown. This article engages with this debate by analyzing the historical process through which higher education was constituted in Brazil, with emphasis on the Colonial Period. It argues that the restriction and regulation of higher education in the colony were integral to the logic of the colonial system, aimed at maintaining intellectual and administrative dependence on the metropolis. To this end, the study first examines the political and economic context of Colonial Brazil, highlighting its structural constraints. It then analyzes the formation of higher education in the country, considering its early experiences and selective character. Finally, it discusses the transfer of the Portuguese Royal Court to Brazil in 1808 as a turning point in educational policies, marked by the expansion of state intervention in higher education.

Questionnaire Length and Its Impact on Response Quality
Digital surveys have shown a growing trend in research. The convenience of completing a survey on a smartphone has created incentives to design lengthy questionnaires; however, evidence on the effect such instruments may have on data quality due to factors such as respondent fatigue remains scarce. This study aims to explore the impact of questionnaire length on response quality in management research. It consists of a bibliometric review analyzing 30 articles published in SCOPUS between 2008 and 2024. The findings suggest that questionnaire size and forced-response conditions contribute to a loss of response quality. The results also point to the strategy of dividing questionnaires into sections as a means of preventing respondent fatigue. The study advances the hypothesis of quality loss in lengthy questionnaires, which calls into question the results and conclusions of research employing instruments with an excessive number of items.

Sustainable Practices among Technical Education Students: Prior Participation, Habits, and Perceived Social Norms
This study examines factors associated with the adoption of sustainable practices among technical education students in Fortaleza, Ceará, considering both profile variables and psychosocial mechanisms closer to action. The research employed a cross-sectional design and a quantitative approach, administering a questionnaire to 91 students selected by convenience sampling. The dependent variable was the adoption of sustainable practices, and the main predictors were prior participation in sustainability initiatives, time in program, habit, and perceived social norms. Analyses included descriptive statistics, Spearman correlations, OLS linear regressions with robust standard errors, and multicollinearity and residual diagnostics. The results indicated a moderate level of sustainable practice adoption and positive associations between adoption, habit, and perceived social norms. Within the limits of a local, cross-sectional, non-probabilistic study, the findings suggest that automated routines and perceived social influence are more consistently associated with variation in sustainable practice adoption than isolated profile variables, with cautious implications for school-based interventions emphasizing behavioral repetition and normative salience.

Age Profile, Entry Age, and Duration of Participation in Wheelchair Rugby in Brazil
This study examined the age profile and mean entry age of Brazilian Wheelchair Rugby (WCR) athletes registered with the Brazilian Wheelchair Rugby Association (ABRC). An observational, descriptive-comparative, quantitative design was adopted, based on official data from 2023 to 2025. The sample comprised 231 athletes distributed across three competitive levels: Access Level (Second Division), National Elite (First Division), and National Excellence (Brazilian National Team). The results revealed a progressive decrease in mean age as competitive level increased (39.5, 38.0, and 35.9 years, respectively). Entry into the sport occurred at progressively younger ages at higher competitive levels (34.2, 29.6, and 26.1 years). Age homogeneity was observed among low and mid sport classes, whereas higher classes showed greater variability. It is concluded that age profile is closely associated with competitive progression in Brazilian Wheelchair Rugby.

Education and Justice: New Theoretical Foundations of Educating for Non-Violence
This article analyzes the theoretical foundations of educating for non-violence, drawing on an understanding of violence as a historical, social and cultural construct intensified during the Brazilian Military Dictatorship. Grounded in Grounded Theory, it examines documents from the Brasil Nunca Mais Project and reports of the Truth Commissions, identifying central categories such as justice, truth, memory and human rights. It argues that these elements enable the structuring of an educational proposal oriented toward delegitimizing violence, understood as an ethical-political project. The work articulates philosophical and sociological contributions, highlighting non-violence as an active practice of social transformation. As its main finding, it posits educating for non-violence as education for justice, organized along moral, normative, political and pedagogical dimensions. It concludes that education, by fostering memory, recognition and democratic participation, constitutes a fundamental strategy for confronting the culture of violence and consolidating more just and democratic societies.

Perceptions of artisanal fishers on the impacts of dredging in the port of Santos: environmental justice and epistemologies of the sea
This article analyzes the perceptions of artisanal fishers regarding the impacts of periodic dredging operations carried out over the past ten years in the Santos estuary, examined through the lenses of environmental justice and epistemologies of the sea. The study departs from the hypothesis that recurrent technical interventions produce integrated socioecological effects, simultaneously affecting ecosystem services, livelihoods, and the institutional recognition of traditional knowledge. The research adopted a qualitative interpretive approach, with structured interviews conducted among 50 fishers directly affected by these operations. For the analytical organization of data, the MESMIS method was applied in an adaptive perspective, structuring indicators across environmental, economic, and social-governance dimensions. The results indicated a high degree of perceived socioecological vulnerability, with an overall Relative Sustainability Index of 4.7 (0–5), evidencing structural convergence among ecological degradation, economic instability, and institutional fragility. The study concludes that dredging operations are perceived as cumulative processes that articulate distributive inequalities, participatory constraints, and epistemological marginalization in the coastal governance of Latin America's largest port complex.

Matrix of Co-responsibility for Mental Health Care of RAPS Professionals: Construction, Validation, and Applicability
Mental health work in the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) is characterized by high complexity, work overload, and fragility of the institutional mechanisms designed for worker care, which contributes to the persistent invisibility of these professionals' psychological distress in management contexts. This methodological-applied study, with a qualitative approach, involved workers from two Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) located in Fortaleza, Ceará. The co-responsibility matrix was developed based on content analysis and the Collective Subject Discourse, organized into five dimensions of care. The instrument underwent content and face validation by expert judges. The results indicated theoretical consistency, organizational clarity, and practical applicability, enabling the mapping of flows, responsibilities, and institutional mechanisms aimed at workers' mental health. It is concluded that the matrix constitutes a soft-hard technology useful for management, matrix support, and continuing education, strengthening the institutionalization of care in the RAPS.

Between values and decisions: how sustainability beliefs influence scientific evaluation
This article investigates how human values and sustainability beliefs influence scientific evaluation within the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). The study is based on a bibliographic review and documentary analysis of 37 institutional documents selected from 248 identified between 2020 and 2025. The theoretical framework combines the multidimensional perspective of sustainability, Schwartz’s Refined Theory of Basic Human Values, and Dubois’s concept of sustainability beliefs. The findings indicate that scientific evaluation is not neutral, as it is shaped by values and worldviews that influence institutional criteria, priorities, and decisions. The results also show that CNPq operates not only as a funding agency but as a normative instance that shapes scientific agendas and legitimizes specific forms of knowledge over others.

Education and Culture: The Federation of Organizations for Social Assistance and Education (FASE) and a Popular Education Project in the Tocantina Amazon – Brazil.
This article aims to analyze the arrival of the Federation of Organizations for Social Assistance and Education (FASE) and its partnership with the Catholic Church in the Amazonian region of Baixo Tocantins, focusing on the Vila de Porto Grande, Cametá – Pará (PA). This is an action research study whose corpus of analysis comprises memorialist works, oral narratives, and texts made available by FASE on its institutional website. Theoretically, the research is affiliated with Social History and Critical Pedagogy, enabling readers to understand the importance of the practice of Oral History with social commitment, which led this study not only to engage with memory, but to understand it as a form of historical and political resistance. In concluding this study, we highlight the importance of FASE in the daily lives of rural, riverside, and forest workers, particularly in the training, education, and capacity-building of these subjects during dictatorial times, encompassing social, cultural, health, agricultural, and political aspects in the Baixo Tocantins region, part of the Brazilian Amazon.

Bioethics has contributed to debates on human–nonhuman animal relations through short-term utilitarian approaches focused on reducing imposed pain and suffering. However, its capacity to address persistent and emerging issues through long-term actions is questioned, particularly when incorporating longtermism in dialogue with animal law and environmental bioethics, thus overcoming the notion of property. This study hypothesizes that, although grounded in utilitarian frameworks, bioethics contributes to legitimizing animal sentience. A qualitative and exploratory analysis examined the mobilization of bioethics in scientific production on animals, identifying 4,484 publications, of which 40 addressed companion animals, predominantly theoretical Ibero-American studies with utilitarian and legal perspectives. The articulation between environmental bioethics and longtermism aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals by proposing an intergenerational ethic oriented toward coexistence, quality of life, and ethically just planetary continuity.

Territorial Inequalities in Educational Access for the Migrant Population in Brazil
This study analyzes the extent to which access to education for the migrant population in Brazil materializes in a territorially unequal manner. To this end, an approach is adopted that combines bibliographic review, documentary research, and descriptive analysis of administrative data, based on microdata from the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira and data from the Brazilian Public Sector Accounting and Fiscal Information System. The results show that contexts with greater resource availability and infrastructure exhibit greater capacity for stability in the incorporation of this population, while territories with lower state capacity tend to respond in a more limited and reactive manner. The study shows that, for migrants, the right to education exists formally, but its implementation varies according to territory, evidencing regional inequalities in Brazil.

Educational intervention model for strengthening environmental education through IoT
Environmental education requires experiences that link learning and active participation in everyday spaces. This study proposes an educational intervention model supported by the Internet of Things, where playful interaction facilitates reflection on responsible practices. The proposal was developed based on a literature review, dialogue with specialists, and the integration of environmental sensors into an interactive touchscreen system. The experience was applied to 32 people, assessing interaction using the System Usability Scale. The results show a favorable perception, reflected in an average score of 75.3, along with observations aimed at visual and sensory adjustments. The experience demonstrates that the model allows environmental education to be brought into educational and community spaces, maintaining pedagogical consistency and offering possibilities for application in environments with similar conditions.

Play in the Countryside and Repertoires of Work: Approaches and Distances in Children's Everyday Life
This article examines how peasant children from the Nativo de Barra Nova District, in São Mateus (ES, Brazil), mobilize repertoires linked to family routines and territorial practices in their play. The discussion follows approaches to and distances from local culture, produced through appropriations during play. The research draws on systematic observation recorded in field diaries, in-situ listening, and audiovisual records. The corpus brings together scenes selected because they reveal elements associated with the world of work in a broad sense and the ways these are rearranged in play. Findings are organized into three movements: the conversion of objects into narrative resources; the displacement of purposes, in which local intelligibilities are preserved while goals are redefined according to the demands of play; and regimes of limit, in which tacit permissions, managed risk, and staged authority regulate participation and circulation. The article concludes that these dynamics operate in gradations, articulating preservation and movement in the inhabiting of territory.

Trends in Morbidity and Mortality from Cervical Cancer in Feira de Santana, Bahia: Ecological Comparative Analysis with Bahia and Brazil, 2013-2025
Cervical cancer remains a relevant cause of female morbidity and mortality in Brazil, with persistent regional inequalities related to insufficient screening coverage and late diagnosis. Medium-sized municipalities acting as regional healthcare hubs may present epidemiological patterns distinct from state and national scenarios. We analyzed cervical cancer morbidity and mortality in Feira de Santana, Bahia, from 2013 to 2025, in comparison with state and national contexts. This is an ecological, temporal, and comparative study based on DATASUS data (SIM, SISCAN, and SIH/SIA) and IBGE population estimates, with calculation of rates per 100,000 women and simple linear regression. Incidence (18.5 to 15.0/100,000) and mortality rates (6.2 to 5.0/100,000) declined over time, yet remained consistently higher than state and national figures. Screening coverage remained low (35.2%), below the 80% international target. Cases were concentrated among women aged 35–44 years, with lower educational levels and predominance of invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The municipality showed a persistent excess of morbidity and mortality, associated with social inequalities and low preventive coverage.

BIM and climate change in the construction sector: applications, limitations and socio-environmental implications
This study investigates how Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been applied in the context of climate change in the construction sector. It addresses the problem of understanding to what extent such applications contribute to emissions mitigation and which limitations still compromise their effectiveness. The objective was to map uses, identify technical barriers and examine their socio-environmental implications. The results highlight the integration of BIM with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and multicriteria methods, but also reveal obstacles related to low interoperability, scarcity of regional data and the concentration of applications in the early stages of the life cycle. The classification of gaps indicates that limitations frequently treated as technical may produce significant socio-environmental effects. It is concluded that BIM constitutes a strategic tool, although its effectiveness depends on overcoming technical, methodological and informational obstacles.

Between Winds and Territories: Social Actors' Perceptions of the Environmental and Territorial Changes of Wind Farms
This study analyzes the perceptions of social groups regarding the territorial and environmental changes promoted by wind farms in the municipality of Campo Formoso, Bahia. Using a Likert scale, ordinal logistic regression, and ACD, the results reveal asymmetrical perceptions: while the local community (ICIS = 2.21) and public authorities (ICIS = 2.52) classify impacts as moderate, companies (ICIS = 4.36) positively evaluate their own environmental management practices. Turbine noise was the most significant impact perceived by the community (M = 3.81). The Kruskal-Wallis test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the groups (H = 6.136; p = 0.046), and ordinal logistic regression identified that the community is 94% less likely to perceive high impact compared to companies (β = -2.826; p = 0.029). The ACD revealed a discursive hierarchy that occupies a hegemonic position, with the government presenting a fragmented discourse and the community articulating subalternized ecological knowledge

Corals like Stones? Teaching Cnidarians, Coloniality of Knowledge, and Biology Textbooks in Brazil
This article analyzes the treatment of the phylum Cnidaria in high school biology textbooks, discussing the results in light of the environmental history of the Brazilian northeast coast and the coloniality of knowledge in the production of school knowledge. This is a qualitative and documentary study, whose corpus consists of six textbooks approved by the National Textbook Program (PNLD), analyzed according to criteria related to theoretical content, historical contextualization, and the valorization of Brazilian biodiversity. The results indicate the predominance of descriptive and fragmented approaches, with a strong emphasis on foreign examples, especially Australia's Great Barrier Reef, to the detriment of Brazilian reefs. There is also a lack of discussion about the biomineral exploitation of corals during the colonial period. In light of the paradigm of complexity and decoloniality, it is argued that this omission contributes to the erasure of the biological, historical, and environmental dimensions of corals in biology education.

Suporte Social, Resiliência e Bem-Estar no Trabalho de Motoristas de Ônibus
Night work poses challenges to workers’ well-being, especially in occupations involving long hours, high demands, and psychosocial risks. This study examines relationships between social support, resilience, and work well-being (WWB) among bus drivers working day and night shifts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A cross-sectional, quantitative, correlational, and comparative design was adopted. The sample included 219 drivers assessed using validated instruments: the Work Well-Being Scale, the CD-RISC-10 Resilience Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Analyses were conducted using JASP software and included descriptive statistics, normality testing, correlations, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling. Shift differences were examined using the Mann–Whitney U test. Results indicated significantly lower well-being among night-shift drivers, associated with circadian rhythm disruption. A robust association emerged between social support and resilience, with resilience predicting work well-being and mediating this relationship, highlighting implications for occupational health and informing organizational interventions in transportation settings.

Public Education Policies and the Limits of Emancipation
Este artigo analisa os limites e as possibilidades do PROEJA FIC enquanto política pública de inclusão social e educacional, a partir da experiência de pescadores artesanais em São Borja/RS, no contexto da globalização e da modernidade líquida. A pesquisa qualitativa baseou-se em análise documental de atas associativas, do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso e da matriz curricular, além de conversas informais com os trabalhadores. O referencial teórico articula Educação Popular, movimentos sociais e análise de políticas públicas. Os resultados indicam que, embora o programa tenha certificado 15 pescadores, a evasão superior a 50%, a ênfase desproporcional na formação geral, o não cumprimento do projeto pedagógico e a descontinuidade administrativa limitaram seu potencial emancipatório. Conclui-se que o empoderamento observado decorreu principalmente da organização prévia dos pescadores enquanto movimento social, sugerindo a necessidade de processos participativos na implementação de políticas educacionais para grupos marginalizados. Palavras-chave: PROEJA FIC. Políticas Públicas. Educação de Jovens e Adultos. Pescadores Artesanais. Educação Popular.

Miscegenation and Power: Between Cultural Synthesis and Structural Critique
This article offers a comparative analysis of Casa-Grande & Senzala by Gilberto Freyre and Rediscutindo a Mestiçagem no Brasil by Kabengele Munanga, two foundational works of Brazilian social thought. Through a conceptual mapping, the study examines six analytical axes: historical diagnosis, concept of miscegenation, violence, racial democracy, racial categories, and normative implications. It argues that Freyre formulates a cultural grammar of miscegenation as a civilizing synthesis and symbolic foundation of the nation, whereas Munanga redefines the concept as a social technology of power and a mechanism for reproducing racial hierarchies. The comparison reveals an epistemological inflection that shifts miscegenation from an integrative vision to a structural critique and, ultimately, to a relational category of coexistence in dialogue with contemporary decolonial perspectives. Miscegenation is thus reinterpreted not as harmony or degeneration, but as a symbolic and political field of dispute whose understanding is essential for rethinking it as an ethical and political category of coexistence.

This case study analyzes the panel discussion “Social Participation in Science, Technology, and Innovation,” held in May 2024 as part of the Science, Technology, and Society II (STS II) course at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). Based on the quadruple helix model, the activity brought together representatives from the executive and legislative branches, academia, the private sector, and civil society to discuss ST&I governance and policies. This qualitative research employed participant observation, audiovisual records, and thematic analysis, using open coding and source triangulation. The results highlight three main axes: the consensus on aligning ST&I with social demands; divergences regarding the protagonists' roles; and the pedagogical relevance of the experience for the critical development of engineering students. It concludes that participatory formative practices broaden the understanding of the social appropriation of science, contributing to its democratization within the Brazilian context.

Homicides in the Novo Aleixo Neighborhood in Manaus (2023–2025):
Violence in the peripheral areas of the city of Manaus has a historical character and results from multiple factors, ranging from domestic conflicts to crimes related to disputes over territorial control for the commercialization and distribution of drugs. Within this context, the Novo Aleixo neighborhood is embedded in this dynamic, standing out negatively in violence rankings due to its high homicide rates. In view of this scenario, the present article aims to investigate intentional homicides that occurred in the Novo Aleixo neighborhood, located in the Northern Zone of Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, during the period from 2023 to 2025. During the period analyzed, Novo Aleixo ranked as the second neighborhood with the highest incidence of intentional homicides, revealing a context of pronounced social vulnerability and intense disputes among criminal groups. This study adopts a quantitative and qualitative approach, with an exploratory and descriptive nature, using official statistical data from the Integrated Center for Public Security Statistics (CIESP-SSP/AM), institutional documents, and geoprocessing information as sources. The interpretation of the results was grounded in a literature review articulated with the theory of crime ecology, seeking to understand homicides as phenomena associated with social disorganization, urban space degradation, and conflicts over territorial control. The findings indicate that, during the period analyzed, there was a significant reduction in homicides in the region (74.7%), with most cases associated with conflicts between criminal factions and disputes related to drug trafficking. This context underscores the need for integrated public policies that combine strengthened policing with investments in sanitation, housing, and socioeconomic inclusion.

Brazilian Legal Culture and Digital Coloniality
This article investigates the hypothesis that digital coloniality constitutes a new historical phase of Brazilian legal culture, reshaping its epistemological, institutional, and political foundations. It adopts a qualitative and critical-theoretical approach grounded in the epistemologies of the South and the philosophy of liberation, particularly the works of Enrique Dussel and Aníbal Quijano. The methodological procedure combines theoretical-conceptual analysis with the empirical examination of paradigmatic cases of digital technologies in the legal field, focusing on artificial intelligence systems, predictive algorithms, and surveillance technologies applied to justice in Brazilian and international contexts. The study argues that the political economy of data and algorithmic governance are transforming national legal culture, updating coloniality within legal practices and knowledge. It concludes that digital coloniality does not represent mere technological modernization of law, but a restructuring of its historical rationality, with implications for the cognitive and political autonomy of the Global South.

Ethical Implications of Surrogacy in Brazil and Colombia: Ethics and Appropriation with a Comparative Approach
This article analyzes the practice of surrogacy in Brazil and Colombia, with an emphasis on social relations and the implications faced by transgender couples in the issue of reproductive sexuality. Through a qualitative and comparative analysis of the two countries, the study aims to highlight the consequences of belonging to the issue of legal and doctrinal foundations on the subject . It points to the need for reforms that guarantee a fair approach to protecting the rights of all those involved in the practice of surrogacy, in recognition regardless of human life, with criticism of Brazilian patriarchy, which punishes this practice as a crime, in relation to a neighboring country that respects the rights of this minority population through a constitutional understanding that love should not be punished depending on the circumstances in which these practices are carried out, through the notion of solidarity and mutual aid.

Presentiality beyond presence: pedagogical implications of teacher interaction in digital education
This article discusses the concept of presentiality in digital education in light of the intensified use of educational technologies. The qualitative study was conducted through a focus group with eight faculty members from a Higher Education Institution located in Belo Horizonte (MG, Brazil), working within the hybrid teaching model. Data collection took place in December 2025, and participants' statements were organized into analytical codes using the Atlas.ti platform, which made it possible to identify pedagogical strategies that either foster or hinder presentiality in the digital environment. The findings show that presentiality is strengthened by intentional teaching practices, such as visibility of the face, the quality of audiovisual communication, clarity of pedagogical objectives, and the attribution of meaning to the lessons. Conversely, the mere transposition of in-person methodologies to the digital environment, the excessive use of slides, the absence of pedagogical mediation, and the fragmentation of student attention constitute factors that diminish presence.

The Hidden Face of the Green Transition: Energy Colonialism and Environmental Necropolitics in the Global South
The expansion of renewable infrastructures and critical mineral mining in Latin America has been framed as a technical solution to the climate crisis. This article critically examines how these processes reproduce core-periphery asymmetries and operate as forms of environmental necropolitics by concentrating ecological risks on racialized territories. An integrative review was conducted through systematic searches in SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed, using descriptors in English, Spanish and Portuguese, applying rigorous eligibility criteria and critical content analysis. Findings reveal recurrent patterns of territorial dispossession, consolidation of sacrifice zones and corporate discursive strategies in lithium mining and large-scale wind and solar projects. The study concludes that global decarbonization may reinforce structural dependencies unless accompanied by energy justice, territorial sovereignty and recognition of Southern epistemologies.

Estrategias, tácticas y técnicas cotidianas en el cuidado de niños con Parálisis Cerebral
El artículo analiza las experiencias de cuidado de niñas, niños y adolescentes con parálisis cerebral en la Ciudad de México, poniendo énfasis en las estrategias, tácticas y técnicas que las cuidadoras despliegan cotidianamente para sostener la vida. A partir de historias de vida y narrativas biográficas, se examinan las articulaciones entre prácticas de cuidado en contextos familiares, domésticos, comunitarios e institucionales. La metodología es cualitativa y se basa en entrevistas episódicas realizadas a ocho cuidadoras primarias, las cuales fueron transcritas, codificadas y categorizadas mediante el análisis narrativo propuesto por Reissman. Los resultados se organizan en cinco categorías analíticas: reconfiguración familiar y cuidado; vida doméstica, crecimiento y adecuaciones del espacio físico; redes de apoyo y vínculos institucionales; esparcimiento, recursos tecnológicos y ayudas técnicas para la movilidad; y procedimientos de rehabilitación y recreación, deseos y necesidades. La discusión recupera el concepto de cuidado como una práctica situada que implica afectividad, compromiso, responsabilidad y un proyecto de vida, dimensiones frecuentemente invisibilizadas y poco valoradas socialmente.

“Crossing” school walls for high school Physical Education classes in a coastal city of Pernambuco:
The disciplinary organization of the school curriculum tends to fragment the production of knowledge into relatively watertight compartments, limiting the understanding of complex phenomena present in students' daily lives. In specific territorial contexts, such as coastal cities, this fragmentation becomes particularly evident when the school remains dissociated from the spaces that constitute the community's social and cultural life. In this context, the present study aims to map the extent to which the activation of the beach territory in school Physical Education classes highlights the limits of the disciplinary model and enables the emergence of transdisciplinary movements in high school. The research is characterized as qualitative with a cartographic orientation, inspired by the philosophical perspective of process tracking. The study was conducted in two public schools located in the coastal region of the state of Pernambuco, both situated just a few meters from the beach. Data production occurred through the observation of classes held in the spaces between the school and the beach, records in a cartographic diary, interviews with two Physical Education teachers, three teachers from other curricular components, and one school manager, in addition to the analysis of institutional documents. The analysis sought to identify tensions between territory, curriculum, and the disciplinary organization of knowledge. It is expected that the results will contribute to broadening the debate on the relationships between school Physical Education, territory, and transdisciplinarity in the context of high school education.

Educación ambiental, imágenes y resistencia en "Mujeres afectadas por represas: bordeando derechos" (MASP, 2025)
This article discusses the contributions of struggle and resistance of Women Affected by Dams (MAB) to the field of Environmental Education from the analysis of arpillera production. In this sense, the textile documents are analyzed that express the reality presented in the exhibition: "Women Affected by Dams: embroidering our rights" (MASP, 2025), which brought together 47 arpilleras from various regions of Brazil, which show the weaving of a more humane society, sensitive and collective. It is a research of qualitative approach based on the imageology produced in the embroidery and in the collective stories experienced by these women, lives that come together to weave a better future. Art claims struggle and resistance, in a historical construction made point by point as a way to overcome the environmental oppressions suffered. The proposal reveals narratives embroidered with hope. Thus, sewing becomes a powerful tool of resistance, denunciation and female empowerment, producing reflections for Environmental Education.

Factor Analysis of the IDEA Inventory: Assessment of Perceived Discrimination and Coping Criteria in Old Age
The objective of this study was to design an instrument to assess perceived discrimination and coping strategies in age groups. Through expert judgment and a pilot test, item wording was adjusted, confirming its accuracy. In a sample of 422 Argentinians aged 60–92 years (M = 69.04; SD = 7.56), the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were explored. An optimal parallel analysis and an exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure, with a final version of 20 items. The semi-confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit indices (GFI = .987, AGFI = .983, RMSR = .047). Reliability was high (total α = .856; discrimination = .894; coping = .783). It is concluded that the preliminary version of the IDEA is valid and reliable and allows for the identification of profiles of social exclusion and adaptive strengths, facilitating the design of interventions to promote emotional well-being and social inclusion.

Progressive movement of the institutionalization of political reason
Political philosophy literature rarely reconstructs the historical development of the institutionalization of political reason systematically. An analytical gap remains in understanding how different traditions addressed the challenge of protecting collective decisions from passions and arbitrariness. Through a qualitative literature review of classical works, this study revisits the historical construction of mechanisms aimed at producing more rational and just decisions. The analysis reveals a progressive movement of rationalization: a transition from virtue-centered conceptions of rulers to institutional models based on the limitation of power, separation of functions, and institutional self-restraint. It concludes that the rationality of collective decisions depends fundamentally on building institutions capable of structuring and limiting the exercise of political power in pluralistic societies.

Nowadays, vaccine refusal has become a growing challenge for public health, favoring the return of previously controlled diseases. The present scientific investigation aims to discuss the relevance of vaccination from the perspective of the collective right to health, in contrast to private autonomy and the citizen’s right to refuse vaccination. A critical legal-theoretical approach was carried out, along with comparative, interpretative, and systematic analyses of legal doctrine, constitutional provisions, infraconstitutional legislation, and case law. The importance of vaccination as a public health measure for both individual and collective protection, ensuring the realization of the fundamental right to health, was analyzed as well as the legal (im)possibility of vaccine refusal as an expression of private autonomy. In this context, the use of measures to encourage vaccination does not interfere with the citizen’s individual freedom provided that the principles of legality, necessity, proportionality, and respect for human dignity are observed.

Student satisfaction during educational research training
The objective of this research was to analyze student satisfaction during their training in educational research, framed by a qualitative, descriptive, and phenomenological design, focusing on investigating the intangible aspect of the event as evidence. The study involved eight graduate students who were administered an 18-question interview guide. Interviewees identified the lack of pedagogical coordination and the limited implementation of methodologies that balanced theoretical and practical components as significant weaknesses. It is concluded that there are areas for improvement, especially in the organization of teaching resources and the implementation of complementary tutorials and workshops. It is essential to strengthen the curriculum design to ensure an education that meets quality standards.

Leadership Based on Positive Psychology and Mindfulness:
This article examines how the integration of Positive Psychology and Mindfulness gives rise to conscious leadership. Its aim is to describe the application of mindfulness in higher education institutions and to assess its benefits for a more conscious leadership style oriented toward collective well-being. Positive Psychology focuses on positive emotions, virtues, and character strengths, while mindfulness fosters self-awareness, emotional regulation, and full attention, enhancing cognitive clarity and decision-making. The results show that this integration reduces stress, increases resilience and positive emotions, and strengthens empathy and communication within teams. Universities such as the Tecnológico de Monterrey, the Universidad Panamericana, ITAM, and Anáhuac have implemented comprehensive well-being, mindfulness, and leadership programs, promoting more human, ethical, and productive educational and work environments, with a positive impact on the community.

Infrastructure Modernization and Human Development in Innovation Environments: A Sociospatial Analysis of the Augusto Severo Scientific and Technological Park PAX | RN
The dynamics of technological innovation intrinsically demand the restructuring of the spaces that house it. This article presents a case study on the modernization of infrastructure management at the Augusto Severo Scientific and Technological Park PAX | RN, analyzing the impact of these socio-spatial transformations on labor relations, inclusion, and entrepreneurship promotion. From the perspective of Applied Social Sciences, the study's objective transcended technical optimization through Computer Aided Design (CAD), seeking to understand how normative readjustment — anchored in the Brazilian Law of Inclusion and NBR 9050 — functions as a vector of social justice. Methodologically, an applied and mixed approach was adopted, focused on converting spatial interventions into well-being and accessibility indicators. In light of Milton's theory of systems of objects and actions, the results demonstrate that the standardization and redesign of ecosystems (such as the subdivision of spaces for startups) not only enhance managerial efficiency, but also combat brain drain by retaining local talent and aligning North Rio Grande public management with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 8, 9, and 11) of the 2030 Agenda.

Haptic modality and tactile epistemologies:
This article examines haptic modality as a legitimate form of knowledge production, proposing the notion of tactile epistemologies in the context of deafblindness. Drawing on a theoretical-analytical approach grounded in philosophy of difference, Deaf Studies, and critical perspectives on language, the study argues that the historical centrality of vision and hearing has shaped sensory regimes of normalization that exclude other modes of experience and meaning-making. From this perspective, deafblindness is not understood as a deficit, but as a condition that destabilizes such hierarchies. Haptic modality emerges as a third linguistic form that reconfigures the relationship between body, language, and knowledge. The article concludes that recognizing tactile epistemologies requires not only expanding the concept of language, but also challenging the epistemological foundations that sustain sensory normality.
