The Impacts of Floods on the Health of Riverside Communities in the State of Maranhão: An Integrative Review

Purpose: Through this research, the aim is not only to identify problems but also to provide valuable insights for the formulation of public policies aimed at improving the living conditions and health of these communities, making them more resilient in the face of frequent climatic challenges.
  
 Theoretical framework: Floods contribute to the spread of waterborne diseases due to the contamination of water sources and the lack of access to clean water during flooding periods. The presence of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, in flooded environments increases the risk of gastrointestinal diseases, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches to control these illnesses.
  
 Method/design/approach: Initially, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on studies related to the impacts of floods on the health of riparian communities, with emphasis on the specific context of the State of Maranhão. Academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) will be consulted to identify relevant research, theories, and concepts associated with the effects of floods on health.
  
 Results and conclusion: Among the 46 selected articles, a higher number focused on floods in the riverside communities of Maranhão (n=30). In second place are those related to health, though few include consequences related to floods (n=10). Fewer articles addressed the social and historical-cultural profile, as observed in (Chart 1) (n=6). The integrative review highlights the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the impacts of floods on the health of riverside communities in the State of Maranhão. The evidence presented indicates the need for public policies that address not only immediate challenges but also underlying causes, promoting sustainable interventions centered on communities.
  
 Research implications: The main managerial, academic, and social contributions of the research include the clear identification of challenges faced by riverside communities in Maranhão during floods.
  
 Originality/value: The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach by not only considering the direct impacts of floods on health but also exploring the social and cultural dimensions of riverside communities. This integration of health, environment, and social sciences enhances the understanding of the challenges faced by these communities.

Urinary dialkylphosphate metabolites in the assessment of exposure to organophosphate pesticides: from 2000 to 2022.

The general population and workers are exposed to organophosphate insecticides, one of the leading chemical classes of pesticides used in rural and urban areas, in the control of arboviruses and agriculture. These pesticides cause environmental/occupational exposure and associated risks to human and environmental health. The objective of this study was to carry out an integrative review of epidemiological studies that identified and quantified dialkylphosphate metabolites in the urine of exposed populations, focusing on the vector control workers, discussing the application and the results found. Searches utilized the Pubmed, Scielo, and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) databases between 2000 and 2021. From the 194 selected studies, 75 (39%) were with children/adolescents, 48 (24%) with rural workers, 36 (19%) with the general population, 27 (14%) with pregnant women, and 9 (4%) with vector control workers. The total dialkylphosphate concentrations found in the occupationally exposed population were higher than in the general population. Studies demonstrate that dialkylphosphates are sensitive and representative exposure biomarkers for environmental and occupational organophosphate exposure. The work revealed a lack of studies with vector control workers and a lack of studies in developing countries.

Mind, brain and education: neuropsychological contributions to executive function training in the classroom with students with ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the neurodevelopmental disorders with the highest incidence in children and adolescents. With multifactorial characteristics, ADHD leads to impairments in executive functioning, for example, in skills related to Executive Functions (EFs) such as behavior control, sustaining attention and mastering activity levels or impulses, usually leading to impairments in learning. The aim of this article was to carry out a literature review as a contribution of neuropsychology to training EFs in the classroom with students with ADHD.  An exploratory study was carried out, followed by descriptive or experimental research. Searches were carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde-Psicologia Brasil (BVSPSI), Periódicos Eletrônicos de Psicologia (PEPSIC) databases, in the journals available in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), in PUBMED and in textbooks. Covering publications from 2017 to 2023, 8 articles were selected for analysis. The bibliographic survey showed the importance of studies on ADHD related to EFs, and it is important for teachers to stimulate these functions, as studies have shown that they have minimized the impact on learning deficits in students with ADHD, and that they can consequently bring about better emotional regulation. This review provided evidence showing that EF training improves executive functioning, reducing ADHD symptoms and leading to improvements in academic functioning. It is suggested that further empirical research into EF intervention by educators for students with ADHD with greater breadth and sampling needs to be carried out.

FORMULATIONS BASED ON OIL EXTRACT IN MACAÚBA (ACROCOMIA ACULEATA (JACQ.) LODD EX MARTIUS): A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

This work investigated in the literature academic papers on the extraction of oil from macauba pulp and kernels and their cosmetic formulations based on this fruit. In the bibliographical systematization, we delimited the database: Google Academic, Capes Periodical, Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO) and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), filtered the works between the years 2018 and 2022, we defined the languages in Portuguese or English, the works as articles, dissertations and monographs. The information systematized brought the plant profile, the methods of oil extraction from both the pulp and the kernel of the macaúba, the extraction processes that have greater efficiency and safety of their products, thus becoming a reference for future research based on the species to subsidize the development of products for the food industry, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

THE USE OF JANAÚBA HIMATANTHUS DRASTICUS (MART.) PLUMEL FOR BIOPROSPECTION: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

There are many plants that have been used for decades by the population to treat diseases and injuries, such as Himatanthus drasticus, also known as janaúba, janaúna, jaraúba, among other names. In popular medicine it is known for its healing, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties, among others. The methodology used an integrative review, with searches in online databases Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scielo Brazil and BDTD (Brazilian digital library of theses and dissertations). The systematization grouped 22 articles included in the review parameters that show the potential of the metabolite compounds present in Himatanthus drasticus for use in the control and prevention of human diseases. However, more studies and tests are necessary to prospect their use in the industry and also by the population.

Effectiveness in the removal of bioceramic sealers versus conventional sealers: systematic review and meta-analysis

This study aimed to carry out a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness in removing bioceramic sealers compared to conventional sealers commonly used, evaluated through the percentage of remaining material. The electronic search was carried out in the following databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and in gray literature, at the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD).  Two independent researchers conducted the survey to identify the studies, without restrictions on year and language of publication, using the PICO strategy until the month of August 2020. A total of 80 titles were retrieved in the initial search, however, only 9 studies were included for the qualitative synthesis and 5 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. The descriptive results indicated that the average time taken to remove the filling material was longer for bioceramics by approximately 67% of the studies that evaluated this condition, and with regard to the establishment of patency, no difference was detected between the sealers. It could be observed that bioceramic sealers presented a lower amount of remaining material than conventional sealers (p = 0.01) both in the overall analysis and in the analysis of subgroups. The removal of conventional sealer proved to be inferior to bioceramic sealers, with greater amounts of material remaining in the root canals after endodontic retreatment. The use of bioceramic sealers has gained space in the endodontic practice. However, it is not yet known whether these sealers affect the removal of root canal fillings during retreatments.

Scientific studies on Krav Maga: state of the art

This study aimed to analyze and synthesize the main concepts about Krav Maga in the last four decades. This is a review of the academic literature with a qualitative approach and a narrative nature. The searched databases are PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, Index Medicus, Capes Platform, ProQuest Digital Dissertations, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and Google Scholar, between the years 1982 and 2022. Empirical studies with cross-sectional, longitudinal, case, control and randomized design were included, and books and private websites were excluded. The textual corpus was processed by the IRaMuTeQ software. Forty-four studies met the eligibility criteria, of which eighteen conceptualized Krav Maga as “self-defense”, twelve as “fighting”, seven as “hand-to-hand combat”, four as “self-defense art”, three as “cultural heritage” and immaterial” and another as a “hybrid system”. The main aspects evoked and addressed in the research were: Operational and Military, Historical, Pedagogical, Psychosocial and Physiological. Most studies had low to moderate methodological quality, indicating the need for greater control of biases in future research. In addition, it was evidenced that Krav Maga is a system, or method developed for self-defense, however, it is a polysemic term, and cannot be understood in a uniform and linear way.

PRÁTICAS COLABORATIVAS COMO PROPOSTA NA EDUCAÇÃO ESPECIAL: REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA SOBRE FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE

Considering that collaboration is a principle that guides educational practice, the objective of the study was to understand the scientific knowledge about teacher training opportunities focused on collaborative practices in the school environment as a proposal in Special Education. This is a systematic literature review that used the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) as a data platform, considering all works in Portuguese, available until October 2022. 45 studies were found, 24 of which were dissertations. and 21 theses developed in graduate programs focused on the areas of Education and Special Education in Brazil. We consider it relevant to analyze the following components to know the selected research in detail: year, thesis or dissertation, method, participants, characterization of the students involved in the research, characterization of the training actions proposed to the participating teachers andLimitations found in the studies, for collaboration between professionals. As a result, we found that the works point out that training focused on collaborative practices favored teaching actions with Special Education Target Public (EPAEE) Students, improving teaching for all, but we observed that the studies showed limitations related to the lack of resources human resources and collective time among professionals to develop and establish joint work, in addition to the need for continued training for teachers.

O TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA E AS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS DE PROFESSORES: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA EM PRODUÇÕES ACADÊMICAS BRASILEIRAS

The present research aimed to investigate the state of knowledge regarding the social representations of teachers about students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), based on stricto sensu productions published in Brazil between 2005 and 2021. The methodological procedure used in this literature review was a systematic survey of dissertations and theses regarding the social representations of professors about students with ASD in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), acronym in Brazilian Portuguese) and Catalog of Dissertation and Theses of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, six works were selected, of which five dissertations and one thesis, to compose the analysis. As a result, we identified that most professors are stucked in social representations marked by prejudice and stereotypes. Therefore, it is necessary a broad and continuous clarification of the potential of these students in order to attitudinal changes may occur. We conclude that it is extremely important to carry out further research and studies that approach the theme of social representations and ASD in the academic environment, based on the scarce literature on the subject.

The Circular economy in Brazil and alignment with the SDGs: Interfaces, gaps and opportunities for future research

A systematic literature review was developed with a portfolio of 96 theses and dissertations published in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). The results suggest that SDGs 9, 12 and 17 have a closer synergy with the circular economy in the bibliographic portfolio analyzed. Based on the existing gaps for engagement with the other 14 SDGs, a research agenda was prepared with 93 research opportunities and 6 exploratory theoretical propositions for future validation in theoretical-empirical studies. 

Panorama institucional do trabalho grupal com homens autores de violência contra mulher no Brasil

Abstract The Maria da Penha Law assists male perpetrators of violence in rehabilitation centers translated, in practice, into group activities. This study offers a national overview of these actions by conducting a literature review and bibliographical and documental research. Groups were identified by searches on LILACS/VHL, MEDLINE/PUBMED, COCHRANE LIBRARY, EMBASE, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel’s (CAPES) journal portal, published maps and national listing of initiatives with male perpetrators of violence, and a web search. Of the 309 groups identified, 271 answered an electronically sent questionnaire from April to May 2021. Results draw an overview showing the active institutions; the way men are referred to them; the existence of networking and approximation to social movements; information about facilitating teams; goals; evaluation methodology; and the main results and difficulties highlighted by these groups. This study also confirmed gaps, such as the absence of a national public policy that welcomes and encourages local organizations; facilitators’ lack of ongoing training; the absence or scarcity of financial contribution; and especially the fragile evaluation and monitoring of activities.

Educational path of teachers of Natural Sciences: a bibliographic review, based on Brazilian theses and dissertations

The training path and professional practice of Natural Science teachers require multiple knowledge and practices. Paradoxically, the training curriculum (initial or continuing) and working conditions do not help to fulfill these demands. In this sense, the objective is to understand the contributions of dissertations and theses produced in the country, present in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), on training processes and professional practice of undergraduates and teachers in the area of Natural Sciences. The studies found, based on specific descriptors, underwent inclusion and exclusion criteria. Nineteen documents resulted for the reading and analysis of the full text. It can be seen that the training course of Natural Science teachers presents barriers and challenges that impact their professional practice. However, there are many strategies to minimize them. Therefore, there is a need to look at the educational documentary parameters and relate them to the training path of teachers of Natural Sciences.

Research on the use and creation of paradidactic books for teaching statistics in elementary school in Brazil

The objective of this work was to systematically analyze the literature in Brazil, through scientific articles, books or book chapters, monographs and dissertations, and stricto sensu graduate theses, who used or created paradidactic books for teaching statistics in elementary school. The databases searched were: the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), Theses and Dissertations Catalog of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and Academic Google, based on the keyword system, Book Didactics as a first option (E) Statistics (E) Elementary School (E) Education. Thirteen studies were considered as results, in the period from 2002 to 2021, and the IRaMuTeQ software was used for the multidimensional analysis from the organization in texts (corpus), each one being defined as “text segment”. Each text was prepared considering what was emphasized in the research, the methodology or methodological approach used, the context in which it was developed, and the types of study and areas involved and the main results and conclusions. In addition, data analysis was organized, based on the identification for each of the texts, of the following variables of interest: type of publication (pubType); year of publication of the text (yearPub); target audience for the work (publicTeaching); and the Brazilian region where the work was carried out (PubRegion). The research is aimed at students and teachers in the early and late years of elementary school and developed in graduate programs and their respective research groups. We emphasize that research on the use and creation of textbooks for teaching statistics in elementary school is still incipient, highlighting the need for more research, but it can be seen that there is the development of new research at the PhD level. In addition, a trend is indicated in the relationships with experiential knowledge and with everyday life, contributing to the formation of citizens aware of the development of statistics.

The role of the supervising teacher in the curricular internship: what do publications say?

The Curricular Internship (CI) has become an opportunity for research, reflective analysis, observation, and re-signification of the teaching profession. In this sense, the present article is aimed at assessing the publications that address this theme. Thus, we chose to develop this study in the area of teacher education, based on the assumption that the CI can favour the acquisition of knowledge required for the teaching activity and, consequently, the teacher’s professional development. We adopted the bibliographic analysis of scientific papers from 2015 to 2020, retrieved from the Journal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel’s Portal (CAPES), Google Scholar, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), Repository of the Graduate Program in Education of the State University of Ceará (PPGE/UECE), and the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). The analyses pointed out the internship as a moment of articulation between theory and practice, and of knowledge constitution, particularly the knowledge gained through experience. Likewise, they indicated the need for greater articulation between university and school, and some emphasized the urgency of making the supervising teacher aware of his role as co-trainer of the student interns.

Thus, a search for the terms "Transformative Research", "Transformative Consumer Research" and "TCR" was carried out in the annals of the main administration events; national journals registered in the SPELL database with Qualis/CAPES 2013-2016 ratings in the strata from B5 to A2 in the area of Administration; and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD).Findings: The results point to a significant growth of publications in TCR in the years 2018 and 2019 but indicate the need to study other groups of vulnerable consumers, in addition to those with some disability, such as consumers of the fat body archetype.Originality: The present study has merit since the results are important to broaden the discussion about the fat body within the theme of consumption, allowing to give visibility to this debate and bringing the theme to the knowledge of managers and market professionals who can contribute to expanding access to consumption by this public; in addition to, specifically, contributing to the propagation of studies from the perspective of transformative research and social marketing, encouraging new researchers and new studies within the aforementioned scopes.

Therapeutic potential of silver nanoparticle-based dressing in the healing process

Introduction: The skin covers the entire surface of the human body, and is considered its largest organ. The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics represents a growing concern in wound infections, this is evidenced by the fact that wounds associated with a heavy bacterial load often present healing failures, increasing healthcare costs for the patient and healing time. Objective: To evidence through national and international literature the therapeutic potential of silver nanoparticle-based dressings in the healing process. Methodology: This is a literature review of a dissertative and explanatory nature. To theoretically support this review, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the Nursing Databases (BDENF) were used. The search period was from February to April 2022, with temporal delimitation from 2017 to 2022, because these were the years that most studies on the topic of interest were obtained. The Boolean searchers (AND and OR) were used: ¬ "Nanoparticle-based dressing OR "Pressure injury" AND "Nanoprene therapy" AND "Multiprofessional team" in BDENF and BDTD, interrelated with the Boolean operators AND and OR. This study included original articles, available in full, case studies, clinical studies, randomized studies, theses and dissertations on the topic in question, published from 2016 to 2022, in English and Portuguese. As exclusion criteria, it was decided not to use articles that were not adjusted to the object of study, which ran away from the theme proposed by the authors, those that were duplicated in electronic databases, incomplete texts, unavailable in full, literature reviews, guides, technical manuals and letters to the reader. A total of 211 articles were found in the BDTD and 17 in the BDENF database, totaling 228 studies found. Of these, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 211 were excluded and 17 studies were selected because they met the study objective. Results: The AgNP-based dressing, presents great potential in pharmaceutical, therapeutic and biomedical applications, and can be applied in the composition of topical products such as ointments, gels and adhesives.Conclusion: Dressings based on silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are being widely used in biomedical sciences, being relevant to circumvent bacterial resistance to antibiotics, improving the quality of life of affected patients and consequently reducing hospital costs.

USOS DOS RESULTADOS DAS AVALIAÇÕES EXTERNAS PELAS SECRETARIAS DE EDUCAÇÃO, GESTORES ESCOLARES E PROFESSORES: ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO CIENTÍFICA PUBLICADA NO BRASIL (2008-2018)

The research aimed to analyze the scientific production published in scientific articles, theses, dissertations and event proceedings on the uses of the results of external evaluations by the departments of education, school managers and teachers, seeking to understand how the authors of the productions analyzed point out that these instances of education networks appropriate the results of these evaluations. Methodologically, this is a bibliographic study, which was carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases and in the Portal Educ@ online education publications of the Carlos Chagas Foundation (articles), in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) (theses and dissertations) and on the websites of the National Association of Education Policy and Administration (ANPAE) and the National Association for Research and Graduate Studies (ANPEd) (annals of events), having as search descriptors the words "external evaluation”, “secretariat of education/managers/teachers” and “use of results”. The results of the survey on the uses of the results of the external evaluation pointed to 12 studies referring to the departments of education, 8 studies focusing on school management and 10 dealing with uses by teachers, totaling 27 productions, considering that 3 works are repeated in the analyzed focuses. External assessment is centralized and predominantly focuses on student performance. These assessments are mainly based on Portuguese Language and Mathematics contents, which ends up leading to a narrowing of the curriculum, which also end up signaling the investment of education departments, school management and teachers in contents that will be charged for in exams carried out by the government.
