Reflections on the Brazilian scientific production on Education in/from the Countryside in times of transition from modernity to post-modernity

Buscou-se identificar a produção científica nacional sobre o tema “educação no/do campo” no Brasil, a partir da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). A metodologia empregada foi quali-quantitativa, sob a natureza aplicada e revisão bibliográfica. A partir dos dados e dos resultados preliminares, fica evidente a importância da produção científica: foram selecionadas 515 publicações, classificadas em teses e dissertações. Os resultados demonstram que as publicações foram realizadas de forma representativa em todas as macrorregiões do pais, identificadas por mapeamento. As considerações mostraram a importância da produção científica e a capacidade de criar soluções. Sendo assim, a educação no/do campo se identifica no global, a partir de sua inserção no contexto do desenvolvimento social, apoiada em pilares fortes de vertentes da educação como a ambiental, contribuindo à sua maneira com o processo de pesquisa, inovação na educação.

An examination of the state of the art of environmental licensing aimed at the exploitation of ornamental rocks based on theses and dissertations in the CAPES Catalog

The present article presents a critical review of the research related to the question of environmental licensing. This article has the objective of analyzing the main aspects of Brazilian scientific production around environmental licensing focused on the exploration of ornamental rocks, a sector that is little studied, despite causing great socio-environmental impacts. The research is justified to the extent that the study of academic production in graduate programs can elucidate the level of depth of the quest for environmental licensing has in graduate programs. The study was developed in the realization of a bibliographical survey in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES no more than September 2021, using two search terms: "Environmental License" and "Rocha". This survey identified a total of 66 papers that encompass productions carried out at the academic, professional and doctorate level. From this list of academic works, tables and graphs were used for the analysis of the two contents found. With this, it was possible to identify the topics addressed in the identified studies, or that made it possible to conduct an analytical effort of a qualitative nature about the different dimensions that govern the process of environmental licensing and its main bottlenecks. An important factor is that it was verified that despite two studies focused on environmental licensing, they will be marked by an interdisciplinary effort, or the final result ends up favoring a fragmented treatment of the problem. Finally, based on two results, it is possible to affirm that the environmental licensing process continues to be permeated by conceptual and practical limitations, or that it ends up compromising its effectiveness in terms of socio-environmental protection in Brazil.

Exclusive breastfeeding among people in prison: an intersectional and abolitionist approach to analyzing scientific production in Brazil from 2000 to 2022

Resumo No Brasil, houve crescimento descontrolado do encarceramento feminino, sendo que não se interrompe essa situação em períodos de gravidez ou lactação. Foi realizada uma revisão de escopo com objetivo de mapear e sintetizar sistematicamente evidências, publicadas a partir do ano 2000, sobre a prática de aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) entre pessoas em situação de cárcere no Brasil. A interseccionalidade e o abolicionismo penal foram as abordagens teórico-metodológicas utilizadas para análise dos artigos. Ao todo, 25 estudos foram selecionados, sendo 90% publicados entre 2010 e 2020. No âmbito de saúde materno-infantil, eles expuseram principalmente as dificuldades de manter o AME no cárcere, incluindo a indefinição de um período mínimo de estadia do bebê, a falta de orientação profissional à prática de AME e a estrutura inadequada das unidades prisionais. Na área do direito, os estudos relataram tensões entre a ordem disciplinar e o irredutível direito humano das crianças à alimentação. Os estudos focalizaram a investigação na vivência das mães, porém não questionaram as formas práticas e históricas do aprisionamento, em especial sobre corpos negros, femininos e pobres. Abordagens críticas e propositivas são necessárias à produção de evidências para a garantia de direitos à saúde e à alimentação.

Avaliação da participação das mulheres brasileiras no CNPQ na área de pesquisa médica

Abstract Introduction: Brazilian scientific production has shown substantial growth and achieved international visibility. However, in general, the participation of women in scientific activities remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the indicators of scientific productivity of women fellows of the Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) in the field of Medicine. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 541 (211 women, 39%) researchers registered as recipients of CNPq research productivity (PQ) scholarships in Medicine according to a list provided in December 2022. Results: There was a predominance of male researchers (n=330; 61%). In both the male and female groups, most researchers were at level 2, with 62.5% women and 47.2% men (p=0.018). All 211 female PQ scholars were distributed among 37 different institutions and published 34,969 papers in scientific journals, averaging 165.7 articles per researcher. In the last five years of the study period (from 2018 to 2022), 9,679 papers were published. Over their careers, the 211 researchers supervised 5,440 undergraduate research students, 4,144 master’s degree students, and 2,923 PhD candidates. There was a significant difference between the scholarship levels for the development of human resources in undergraduate research (p=0.040), master’s degree (p=0.027), and PhD. (p<0.001). Conclusion: There are still less women participating in CNPq medical research than men. However, we observed a substantial participation of women in all the assessed items, including technical and scientific production and the human resources training.

TENTATIVA DE SUICÍDIO EM MULHERES PRIVADAS DE LIBERDADE EM UNIDADE PRISIONAL

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the occurrences and factors associated with attempted suicide among women deprived of their freedom in a prison unit. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted at a detention facility in Paraná - Brazil, with 30 women, with data collected in 2022 using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale instrument and another one prepared by the authors and analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results: during their lifetime, 16 (53.3%) women presented suicidal behavior; 14 (46.7%) made actual suicide attempts; 14 (46.7%) had physical damage; and 10 (33.3%) preparatory acts. An actual suicide attempt was associated with suicidal thoughts before arrest (p<0.01) and with thoughts during arrest (p<0.02). Conclusion: previous history of ideation influenced the suicide attempt. Therefore, it is important to evaluate suicidal behavior in the admission and permanence of women deprived of their freedom. This study contributes to reducing the gap in the Brazilian scientific production on this topic with this population segment.

Twenty years of research in Information Design: a section of Brazilian scientific production on digital media

With the increasing predominance of the use of digital artifacts, fast technological evolution, and the inherent complexity of the digital era, studies on how to communicate information are relevant since the beginning of the Information Society in the 1990s. With the efficiency of information communication as its central focus, Information Design (ID) can be an important area in the construction of knowledge about digital media. This article presents a systematic review of the Brazilian scientific production of digital media through the look of Information Design to record the development of ID in the country since the first CIDI+CONGIC event in 2003. The review pointed to some prominent themes in these decades, such as infographics and interfaces used for science and education. It also revealed some universities with an emphasis on the type of scientific production investigated. In addition, some difficulties were noticed at the conception of a registry of Brazilian science due to the change in terminologies and the evolution of theoretical approaches over time.

Integrated Management Systems: The Case of a Penitentiary in the State of Paraíba

Objective: The objective of this article is to evaluate how the Procurador Romero Nóbrega Penitentiary, in Patos - PB, has internalized in its administration practices an integrated perspective of its ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 9001 quality and OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety systems. Theoretical reference: An Integrated Management System (IMS) acts in the interconnection of other systems, aiming to achieve planned management of the execution of services in order to satisfy the internal and external needs of organizations, bringing together information and experiences from different areas in a single environment of work. This integration comprises a tool capable of discovering specific paths to be followed to achieve the desired objectives, in addition to creating an organizational culture of permanent or continuous improvement in its activities. Method: As a methodology, a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach was used to understand how prison management occurs in terms of the incorporation of management systems. Results and conclusion: The study showed that the penitentiary does not comply with the penal executive norm and, with regard to the management system models studied, the unit internally needs investment in its structure, in its human capital and, in the external context, more public policies to achieve sustainable management. Implications of the research: The research is of great relevance to the prison system and the academic world, showing the possibility of making penal units sustainable, aggregating management systems and enhancing the achievement of prison sustainability. Originality/value: Scientific production in Brazil on the implementation of sustainable prisons is incipient, therefore, the research seeks to contribute to helping gaps in the thematic literature, as well as drawing the State's attention to alternatives for the prison system by integrating systems with sustainability goals, respecting environmental, social, economic and human values.

Public spending efficiencies: an analysis of brazilian scientific production from 2013 to 2022

This paper aims to analyze the profile of scientific research on the efficiency of public spending published in Brazil from 2013 to 2022. The study was carried out using a documentary approach, and the data were found from the Spell database. The methodology used was based on a documentary approach based on 49 articles. The results indicate that the main characteristics verified were: growth in the number of articles published in the studied period; most articles have between two and four authors, with a predominance of male authors; public educational institutions were responsible for most academic publications, with greater emphasis on those coming from the Federal University of Minas, followed by the University of Brasília and the Federal University of Ceará. As for the content of the research, the study revealed that most articles have, above all, as a thematic area: expenditure on health and education. Most academic work has directly addressed the issue of public spending efficiency. Finally, it was revealed that more than half of the articles analyzed did not point to a solution to the problems of public spending. The main contribution of this study is to serve as a theoretical basis for new academic works, classified as documentary studies, which aim to address the efficiency of public spending.

Thesis Certification: The Role of BrCris in the Integration and Management of Academic Production in Brazil

The Brazilian scientific production has shown expressive but heterogeneous growth. BrCris is a system that integrates information from several databases to provide a complete view of the research process. It aims to certify and standardize scientific data, strengthening the reliability and quality of information. In this work, a case study is carried out to certify theses and dissertations registered in the Lattes Platform, using the Brazilian Portal of Open Access Publications and Research Data (Oasisbr). As a result of the adopted strategies, it was possible to certify approximately 700,000 theses and dissertations in the Lattes Platform curricula, providing greater reliability and access to certified documents.

CO2 fluxes at the water-atmosphere interface in fluvial environments: an overview of studies in Brazilian rivers

Recent advances in Brazilian scientific production on CO2 fluxes at the water-atmosphere interface in rivers were reviewed, including estimates of CO2 partial pressure and fluxes. A total of 17 studies were reviewed. We compiled information regarding the location studied, the methodology used by each author, and the values of CO2 partial pressure (pCO2), CO2 fluxes (FCO2), and gas exchange coefficient (k) found in each region. The results were spatialized and synthesized. The important role of fluxes in CO2 degassing and their influence on climate change, as well as the global lack of data on these environments, were the main motivations for this study. The information was scarce, and most studies are focused on the Amazon Basin. However, high-resolution mapping of CO2 fluxes, at the scale of micro basins and streams, proved to be scarce. We emphasize, therefore, the importance of further studies in the country including other hydrographic regions, and in high resolution. These studies would add to our knowledge of how natural and anthropic processes influence CO2 flux, in addition to providing better estimates in tropical river systems.
 Keywords: climate change, CO2 emission, CO2 partial pressure.

Spatial and Scientometric study of the Brazilian scientific production on Antarctic soils and permafrost.

This article carried out the first scientometric and spatial analysis of Brazilian scientific production on Antarctic soils and permafrost, based on all publications available from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Information on co-authorship, citation, research topics, and sampling sites was used to understand the social and theoretical structure as well as the spatial dynamics of this research field in Brazil over the last 25 years. We highlight that Brazil is presently, the main country to study the soils and permafrost of Maritime Antarctica, in addition to having an international robust and prolific production, with high impact on the literature, and widely distributed throughout the studied region. It was also possible to identify potential future international partners, new research locations and strategic research themes.

Brazilian scientific production: Emerging epistemologies, ontologies and value systems

There are a growing number of counter-hegemonic Brazilian scientific productions. The gradual process of decolonization of Brazilian universities, a result of the struggle of social movements, has opened space for researchers to present alternatives for scientific production. In this paper we will work with the hypothesis that there is a significant number of Brazilian academic works that seek to detach themselves from hegemonic theories based on new alternatives of epistemologies, ontologies, and value systems. To support it, we point to ten works that use emerging epistemologies, ontologies, and value systems to formulate conceptions and theories about socially marginalized groups.

NURSING CONSULTATION TEACHING IN NURSES' TRAINING: A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY

Objective: to identify the Brazilian scientific production about Nursing consultation teaching in nurses' training. Method: a descriptive study of a bibliometric nature conducted in the portal of Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde and in PubMed from April to May 2021, with the following inclusion criteria: full articles, in Portuguese or English, published from 2009 to 2020. Results: a total of 13 studies were identified, of which four were published in a B2 journal from the Northeast region, although with predominance of papers from the South region (38.46%), with the experience report type standing out. The most frequently observed themes were related to the teaching methodologies, especially the active ones with use of technological tools. “Nursing consultation” was not found to be one of the most frequent keywords. Conclusion: by verifying the incipience of the production on the theme, this study provides subsidies for expanding this knowledge area, reverberating in improvements in Nursing consultation teaching and in nurses' training.

Research integrity guidelines in the academic environment: The context of Brazilian institutions with retracted publications in health and life sciences.

Although research misconduct is responsible for most retractions in health and life sciences from authors affiliated with Brazilian institutions, there are few studies evaluating retraction notices and research misconduct in the country. Understanding the form of research misconduct may share light on the weaknesses and strengths of individual, organizational, and structural factors toward the implementation of a research integrity culture. This review on policies and practices aims to access the available information from research integrity offices and the guidelines from Brazilian funding institutions and universities who were involved in retractions in health and life science publications based on a previously published systematic review. Additionally, we summarize the available guidelines and policies for research integrity in the country. Additionally, we searched publicly available guidelines and offices for research integrity. In total, 15 institutions were analyzed: five funding agencies and 10 universities. Approximately 40% of the funding agencies promoted local research, and 60% promoted national research. Considering national funding agencies, 66% had the commission on research integrity. Approximately 30% of the universities do not have the official office for research integrity or any publicly available guidelines. Most institutions involved in retractions due to some form of research misconduct. Brazilian institutions involved in publication retractions lack instruments to prevent, supervise, and sanction research misconduct. Institutions of the country have insufficiently developed a system to promote and sustain research integrity practices. Nevertheless, there is a positive movement of researchers who are engaged in the investigation of research integrity, policy creation and training. This study emphasizes increased influence of Brazilian scientific collaboration and production globally as well as the impact of retractions in medical sciences. In contrast, it addresses the need for clear research integrity policies to foster high-quality and trustworthy research.

Brazilian scientific production on the health of the black population: a rapid scoping review.

The article presents a perspective on the Brazilian scientific production on the health of the black population (SPN) published in scientific journals. We performed a rapid scoping review combined with thematic and bibliometric analysis. Our search included four indexed databases. We retrieved 519 studies in line with the thematic axes and strategic underlying themes of the Agenda of Research Priorities of the Ministry of Health and the guidelines of the National Policy for the Comprehensive Health of the Black Population. The data mainly returned quantitative studies published from 1969 to 2022. Sixty-five of the selected studies were explicitly about the black population and 54 about the quilombola population. The analysis of the most recurrent terms in the titles of the selected studies evidenced that epidemiological aspects and health and disease conditions prevailed. We observed limitations in the currently available indexing descriptors, which do not cover the most conceptually appropriate terminology. This paper consolidates knowledge about the SPN-related scientific production. It supports the discussion on a propositional priority research agenda to improve health policies for this population, overcome racism, and denounce rights violations.

Saúde da população LGBTQIA+: revisão de escopo rápida da produção científica brasileira

Abstract The National Policy of Comprehensive Health of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals (LGBT) was an important step in the search for equity. The lack of specific research can be an obstacle for the design of strategies that address LGBT health needs. The objective of this study is to map and characterize the Brazilian scientific production on the LGBT population health. We used the rapid scoping review methodology to perform a thematic and bibliometric analysis. We included Brazilian researchers’ studies published in scientific journals. Searches were carried out in four databases, with inclusion of 381 articles in the analysis. The results indicate that Brazilian production about the health of LGBT has increased over time, particularly from 2016, but there are some gaps in specific needs and vulnerabilities within the subgroups of people covered by the acronyms LGBTQIA+. Despite the advances launched from the National Policy of Health Integral LGBT, there are still many gaps in Brazilian scientific production, which could be included in the agenda of priorities for promoting research.
