Title: Infância diagnosticada: quando o transtorno nomeia a criança e (des)organiza a família Authors: Santos, Yasmin Melo Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effects of diagnostic labeling in childhood, particularly with regard to the neurodevelopmental disorders described in the DSM-5, with emphasis on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Based on interviews with caregivers, the study seeks to understand how the history of these diagnostic classifications influences the contemporary construction of perspectives on childhood, the ways in which psychological suffering is recognized, and the family dynamics shaped by specialized technical discourse. It is grounded in the understanding that the central role assumed by diagnoses in contemporary society cannot be analyzed in isolation but must instead be understood as part of a broader historical process of the medicalization of life. The findings indicate that the consolidation of modern psychiatry, particularly from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries onward, was closely linked to the development of strategies for classifying and managing behaviors considered deviant, thereby producing a rationality based on the opposition between the normal and the pathological. Within this context, childhood became a privileged target of practices of surveillance, prevention, and intervention, especially through the articulation of medicine, education, and the family. In contemporary society, this logic has been intensified by the consolidation of neurodevelopmental disorders as the central axis of psychiatric classifications in childhood, supported by a predominantly neurobiological rationale. Furthermore, the widespread dissemination of these diagnoses extends beyond the strictly clinical domain, occupying a strategic position in organizing access to public policies, social rights, and specialized services. This scenario highlights the importance of examining the impacts produced by the expansion of psychiatric classifications on contemporary modes of constituting childhood.

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.

Title: Entre gestos, escritas e uma político-clínica das desimportâncias: catado de estórias sobre mulheres e cuidado Authors: Albuquerque, Camilla Martins Abstract: This research is conceived as a gathering of stories about care practices produced by women in encounters between mental health services and the territories of traditional peoples and communities along the coastal waters of Sergipe. Its objective is to follow how care processes participate in the production of subjectivities and what clues, emerging from these encounters, make it possible to understand their forces of capture and their potential to invent other ways of existing and caring. The research problem arises from the tension between the position occupied by the researcher as a health professional and the historical processes that position women as caregivers, in a context marked by the feminization of care and the invisibilization of the forms of work that sustain life. The study is grounded in the understanding that care constitutes a contradictory field, traversed both by regulatory gender norms and by gestures capable of producing deviations, resistance, and other ways of sustaining life. Methodologically, the research draws on cartography, understood as a research-intervention method aimed at following processes of subjectivation, and on Ursula Le Guin’s Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. Writing experimentation is taken as a mode of producing data, selves, and worlds, in an exercise of gathering stories, gestures, memories, affects, and silences around women, care, and territories of life. Organized into “breaths,” the dissertation follows scenes that produce concepts and offer clues about the pedagogies that produce women as caregivers, the invisible work involved in creating the conditions for care, everyday choreographies of protection in the face of violence, and the shared construction of intelligibilities about forms of suffering related to these gendered pedagogies. The analyses also indicate that the collective production of care can transform sensibilities and expand repertoires of response, giving rise to a politics of care generated by and among women as a form of defending and expanding life, referred to in this research as a politico-clinical practice of unimportance. The stories are not treated as illustrations of theory, but are followed as producers of knowledge and subjectivities. Writing thus becomes part of the very gesture of caring, as an ethical-political practice that makes visible the forms of unimportance that sustain life and affirms care as a field of dispute between capture and the creation of a proliferating womanly life.

Title: Avaliação técnica, energética, econômica e ambiental do aproveitamento energético de biogás a partir da biodigestão anaeróbia de lodo de estações de tratamento de esgotos em Sergipe Authors: Santos, Hellen Karine Sales dos Abstract: The sludge generated in sewage treatment is increasing in production as collection and treatment services advance. Sewage sludge management has associated costs, and anaerobic digestion is a positive approach that adds sustainable management and produces biogas, which can be used for electricity generation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the energy use of sludge generated at the following WWTPs: ERQ Sul, ERQ Oeste, ETE Orlando, and ETE Barra. To achieve this goal, the research methodology involved collecting sludge and sewage samples, analyzing the parameters SS, SV, ST, and SF from the first sludge samples, as well as temperature, pH, and COD from the second samples. The data were then statistically processed, and sludge production was estimated. The work also covered technical, energy, economic, and environmental analysis. The first involved the design of a biodigester to receive and anaerobically digest the sludge generated at the WWTPs in question and a biogas utilization system to generate energy. The second involved calculating the energy balance and savings from the energy supplied by biogas. The third involved calculating the net present value and payback period. The latter covered the calculation of avoided greenhouse gas emissions. In the technical analysis, the biodigesters designed were cylindrical with conical lids and bottoms, all made of reinforced concrete, for two scenarios: one in which it receives sludge from all stations, with a sludge flow of 156.7 m³/day and production of 789.6 m³/day of biogas (BC1), and another that receives sludge only from ERQ Sul (BC2), with a flow of 131.1 m³/day of sludge and generation of 646.3 m³/day of biogas. In the energy analysis, both digesters are able to meet the demand of only the Orlando WWTP or ERQ Sul, with a positive energy balance. In the economic analysis, the two biodigesters pointed to economic unfeasibility with a discounted payback period of 16 years, however, the energy and environmental gains that the project can add must also be considered. Finally, the environmental analysis found a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with the caveat of ensuring the system is airtight to prevent gas leaks. Thus, the energy use from sewage sludge in Sergipe was evaluated in technical, energy, economic, and environmental terms, highlighting an opportunity to transform the challenge of sludge management into an energy-efficient alternative.
