Title: Entre o quadro e o notebook: apropriação das Tecnologias Móveis Digitais de Informação e Comunicação e a prática docente dos professores universitários Authors: Andrade, Joanna Angélica Melo de Abstract: In recent decades, the understanding of teacher education in the field of Natural Sciences (NS) has undergone several changes, mainly regarding the appreciation and deepening of pedagogical aspects associated with the applied dimension of physics, chemistry, and biology, which have come to include emerging social demands in society. Considering the context of digital cultures, in which technological advancement influences various aspects of our daily lives, conceptualizing teacher education and practice that includes the integration of mobile digital information and communication technologies (MDICT) into educational processes corresponds to a real and urgent need. Given this context, we aim to understand how professors in the NS degree programs at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), São Cristóvão Campus, appropriate MDICT for their teaching practice. We highlight that this research is linked to the Technologies, Languages, and Education research line of the UFS Graduate Program in Education (PPGED/UFS) and also to the Communication and Technology Research Group (NUCA/UFS/CNPq). As a background for constructing reflections and writing this text, we embrace critical epistemology according to Japiassu's perspective (1992), the understanding of critical teaching practice from Freire's perspective (2022 and 2023), teacher education from the perspectives of Gatti (2016 and 2017), Nóvoa (2022), Ferrete and Ferrete (2017), and Lucena (2016), and self-formation from the perspective of Galvani (2002) and Pineau (1985). For the methodological framework, we adopt a qualitative approach, which is characterized as descriptive and exploratory regarding its objectives, and as observational field research regarding its means. The research was conducted at the Federal University of Sergipe, specifically in the departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, with the participation of 45 professors from Natural Sciences programs who teach courses in these departments. Data were produced through document analysis, questionnaire administration, interviews, and observations, and analyzed using Bardin's content analysis perspective (2016) with the assistance of the Iramuteq software. The analysis of the data collected from the questionnaires, interviews, and observations revealed that, although the majority of university professors in the NS field at UFS did not receive teaching training during their undergraduate or graduate studies, they sought to understand how to incorporate MDICT into their teaching practice through a self-formation process. This may have enabled the development of methodological strategies with pedagogical intentionality in integrating digital technologies into the teaching process. Therefore, we consider that the research participants are integrating MDICT into their teaching practices and, consequently, moving toward technological appropriation. However, at all stages of the investigation, we identified that precarious infrastructure and internet access can represent significant barriers to teaching practice integrated with MDICT. In light of this, we suggest improvements to the internet network to provide stable, high-quality connectivity throughout the campus. We also suggest the creation of spaces equipped with more advanced MDICT, such as laptops and projectors with modern hardware and software that can foster a more diversified teaching practice within digital cultures. Finally, we suggest that continuing education for university professors regarding digital technologies in education be institutionalized by UFS in order to enable professors to integrate MDICT into their teaching practice, which will diversify methodological strategies and certainly contribute to the improvement of higher education at this institution.; En las últimas décadas, la comprensión sobre la formación de profesores del área de Ciencias de la Naturaleza (CNT) ha sufrido varios cambios, principalmente en lo referente a la valorización y profundización de los aspectos pedagógicos asociados a la parte aplicada de la física, la química y la biología, los cuales han pasado a incluir las demandas sociales emergentes en la sociedad. Al considerar el contexto de las culturas digitales, en el cual el avance tecnológico influye en varios aspectos de nuestro cotidiano, pensar en una formación y práctica docente que contemple la integración de las tecnologías móviles digitales de la información y la comunicación (TMDIC) en los procesos educativos corresponde a una necesidad real y urgente. Ante esto, nuestro objetivo es comprender cómo los profesores de las carreras de CNT de la Universidade Federal de Sergipe, Campus São Cristóvão, se apropian de las TMDIC para su práctica docente. Destacamos que dicha investigación se vincula a la línea Tecnologias, Linguagens e Educação del Programa de Posgrado en Educación de la UFS (PPGED/UFS) y, también, al Núcleo de Pesquisa em Comunicação e Tecnologia (NUCA/UFS/CNPq). Como telón de fondo para la construcción de las reflexiones y la redacción del texto, adoptamos la epistemología crítica, según la perspectiva de Japiassu (1992), la comprensión de la práctica docente crítica en la perspectiva de Freire (2022 y 2023), la formación docente en las perspectivas de Gatti (2016 y 2017), Nóvoa (2022), Ferrete y Ferrete (2017) y Lucena (2016), y la autoformación en la perspectiva de Galvani (2002) y Pineau (1985). Para los vínculos metodológicos, partimos de un enfoque cualitativo, que se caracteriza en cuanto a sus fines como descriptivo y exploratorio, y en cuanto a sus medios como investigación observacional de campo. La investigación se llevó a cabo en la Universidade Federal de Sergipe, específicamente en los departamentos de Biología, Química y Física, y contó con la participación de 45 profesores de los cursos de Ciencias de la Naturaleza que imparten asignaturas en estos departamentos. Los datos se produjeron mediante revisión documental, la aplicación de cuestionarios, entrevistas y observaciones, y fueron analizados desde la perspectiva del análisis de contenido de Bardin (2016) con la ayuda del software Iramuteq. Los análisis de los datos producidos por los cuestionarios, entrevistas y observaciones revelaron que, a pesar de que la mayoría de los profesores universitarios del área de CNT de la UFS no tuvo en el pregrado ni en el posgrado formación para el ejercicio de la docencia, a través del proceso de autoformación buscaron comprender cómo insertar las TMDIC en la práctica docente. Esto pudo haber posibilitado el desarrollo de estrategias metodológicas con intencionalidad pedagógica en la inclusión de las tecnologías digitales al proceso de enseñanza. Consideramos, por lo tanto, que los participantes de la investigación están integrando las TMDIC en sus prácticas docentes y, en consecuencia, están avanzando por el camino de la apropiación tecnológica. Sin embargo, en todas las etapas de la investigación identificamos que la precariedad de la infraestructura y del acceso a internet pueden representar verdaderas barreras para la práctica docente integrada a las TMDIC. Frente a esto, sugerimos la mejora en la red de internet, que posibilite una conexión estable y de buena calidad en todo el Campus. Sugerimos, además, la creación de espacios que dispongan de TMDIC más avanzadas, como computadoras portátiles y proyectores con hardware y software modernos que puedan favorecer una práctica docente más diversificada frente a las culturas digitales. Y, finalmente, sugerimos que la formación continua para los profesores universitarios referida a las tecnologías digitales en la educación sea institucionalizada por la UFS, con el fin de posibilitar a los docentes la integración de las TMDIC en la práctica pedagógica, lo cual diversificará las estrategias metodológicas y ciertamente se reflejará en la mejora de la educación superior en esta institución.

Title: Entre folhas e memórias: uma cartografia da ancestralidade das Tecelãs-de-Saberes Authors: Silva, Sara Santos Abstract: This study aims to analyze how traditional healing knowledge and practices developed and transmitted by benzedeiras, rezadeiras, and curandeiras are manifested in Sergipe, Brazil, and in Maputo, Mozambique, as well as the influences shaping these women’s trajectories. More specifically, the research focuses on the role of medicinal plants as central elements in these practices, examining them as mediators of ancestry and spirituality (religious magical instruments) and of the production of subjectivities in contemporary contexts. From the perspective of the Sciences of Religion, the study adopts an analytical approach that differs from common sense and other scientific fields, as it understands religion through lived experience and the relationships individuals establish with it. The participants were selected using the snowball sampling method, considering that these women are not easily accessible and are located in specific and distinct territories in Sergipe and Maputo. Methodologically, the research is grounded in the cartographic approach proposed by Deleuze and Guattari (1995), understood as a dynamic process rather than a fixed representation. Cartography follows transformations in physical and psychosocial landscapes, mapping the dissolution of established worlds and the emergence of new ones that express contemporary affects and processes of subjectivity production within existential territories.

Title: O chão que se arranca: o racismo ambiental no processo de implantação da avenida perimetral oeste em Aracaju/SE Authors: Santos, Juliana Cristina Batista Abstract: The accelerated pace of development in the city of Aracaju in recent years has intensified socio spatial inequalities, impacting primarily peripheral communities in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability. The construction of Governor Marcelo Déda Chagas Avenue, popularly known as the Western Perimeter Avenue, is an example of this process, promoting the forced resettlement of low-income communities in the Conselheiro Carlos Pinna de Assis housing complex, in the Lamarão neighborhood. This relocation highlights a process of environmental racism, characterized by the transfer of low-income Black and mixed-race communities to locations with inadequate infrastructure and environmental risks. In this context, the general objective of this dissertation was to analyze the implementation process of the Western Perimeter Avenue and its effects on the population and the environment, with the central issue being how urban development and mobility projects lead to the deterritorialization of predominantly Black and socially vulnerable communities. The adopted methodology has a quantitative-qualitative approach and an exploratory-descriptive nature, integrating data obtained from the triangulation of different techniques. Initially, a literature review was conducted to present and delve into themes such as environmental racism, environmental injustice, deterritorialization, and socio-spatial segregation, which were essential for the research development; followed by the documentary analysis of the Involuntary Resettlement Executive Plans (PERI), the Environmental Impact Report (RIMA), and official news to understand the institutional discourse regarding the analyzed case; subsequently, netnography was used to capture the accounts and perceptions, through digital media, of the communities affected by the construction; and, finally, geoprocessing using QGIS software and data from the MapBiomas platform to measure land-use transformations resulting from the analyzed constructions. The results demonstrated that the population directly affected by deterritorialization is predominantly Black, mixed-race, with low levels of education and low income, characterizing the materialization of environmental racism. The documentary analysis revealed a discrepancy between the promises in the official documents and the executed reality, constituting a violation of social safeguards and the rights of peripheral communities. The netnography revealed strong accounts from the affected population, the rupture of community ties, and the continuous struggle to restore individual and collective dignity. Finally, the environmental analysis confirmed the suppression of sensitive ecosystems, exposing the disregard for ecological balance. It was concluded, therefore, that the presented case is a clear expression of environmental racism caused by exclusionary planning that perpetuates historical inequalities while neglecting the quality of life of peripheral communities.

Title: Avaliação da sustentabilidade em sistemas irrigados: indicadores, governança e modernização em perspectiva comparada Authors: Santos, Ketylen Vieira Abstract: The sustainability of irrigated systems depends on environmental and technical conditions, as well as on users’ capacity for organization, financing, and water management. This thesis aimed to determine and analyze the Sustainability Index of the Platô de Neópolis Irrigation District, in Sergipe, Brazil, considering its environmental, economic, social, and technical dimensions and placing the findings within the broader debate on irrigation governance and modernization. Organized into three articles, the research began with a systematic and bibliometric review of 30 studies published between 1992 and 2025 and selected from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The review found increasing use of indicators and quantitative models, while institutional issues remained less explicitly integrated into sustainability assessments. The empirical study combined the MESMIS framework with the method proposed by Calorio (1997), as adapted by Daniel (2001) and reformulated by Faccioli and Gomes Filho (2021), to select indicators and calculate the dimensional and overall indices. It drew on documents, field observations, and interviews with 21 of the 27 companies operating in the district. The Overall Sustainability Index was 54.01, placing the district in the regular category. The environmental dimension had the highest score (75.51), followed by the social (56.76) and technical (51.79) dimensions, whereas the economic dimension had the lowest score (28.85). Analysis of the indicators and their sensitivity identified access to credit, marketing, production management, soil conservation, and social infrastructure as priorities for action. Finally, a documentary analysis compared Platô de Neópolis with the Sector B-XII Irrigation Community in Spain, finding greater integration of water planning, financing, monitoring, and collective management in the Spanish case. The thesis concludes that sustainability in Platô de Neópolis is uneven across dimensions and that the index provides a basis for setting intervention priorities when used alongside efforts to strengthen governance and management capacity.
