Title: A instrumentalidade do Serviço Social no âmbito da assistência estudantil na Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS) - Campus São Cristóvão Authors: Santos, Marcely dos Abstract: This study analyzes the terms under which the instrumentality of Social Work has been constituted within Student Assistance at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), São Cristóvão campus, with the aim of apprehending the particularities of the professional instrumentality of social workers in this socio-occupational space. To this end, it seeks to analyze the professional work developed in Student Assistance, considering how socio-professional intervention has been carried out in response to institutional demands; to identify the demands that require the intervention of social workers in this field; and to understand the extent to which the technical-operational instruments used are articulated with professional instrumentality grounded in the Ethical-Political Project of Social Work. The research adopts the historical-dialectical materialist method, as it understands that the apprehension of social reality occurs through successive approximations to totality, enabling the unveiling of its contradictions. This is an exploratory study with a quantitative-qualitative approach, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, conducted through the review of scientific articles, dissertations, books, official documents, and data related to the National Student Assistance Policy, the instrumentality of Social Work, and student assistance at UFS, obtained mainly from the university’s institutional portal. The results show that the socio-professional intervention developed at UFS has a centered and focalized character, guided by an institutional logic aligned with neoliberalism, which primarily requires social workers to carry out socioeconomic assessments aimed at managing student assistance benefits. This has contributed to professional overload and to the implementation of immediate and short-term interventions, especially during periods of student assistance selection processes, due to limitations on autonomy in professional actions and work planning.

Title: Questão social e a saúde mental : a relação das expressões da questão social no âmbito da saúde mental Authors: Oliveira, Andreza Maya Silva de Abstract: The social transformations that occurred with the intensification of the capitalist system and its mode of production have triggered an increase in social inequalities, directly impacting the area of mental health, which is intrinsically related to the social conditions of individuals. In this scenario, the Social Work professional is required to intervene in the multiple forms of expression of the Social Question that manifest themselves in mental health services. Therefore, this work aims to discuss the relationship between the expressions of the Social Question within the scope of mental health, with the following specific objectives: to understand the Social Question and its articulation with mental health; to reflect on these expressions present in the daily routine of mental health services; to discuss the challenges and limitations faced by social workers in this workspace; and to point out the possibilities for professional intervention, highlighting the relevance of the social worker's professional practice. To this end, the methodology used is bibliographic in nature, with an exploratory character and a qualitative approach, based on the method of historical dialectical materialism, from the analysis of scientific and normative productions that discuss the social question and mental health. Thus, the work synthesizes that mental suffering is an expression of the Social Question, intensified by social inequalities arising from the relationship between capital and labor, requiring intersectoral responses, reaffirming the relevance of the social worker's role in promoting comprehensive care in the field of mental health.

Title: O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Serviço Social da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (PROSS/UFS) : relevância e contribuições na produção de conhecimento no âmbito dos fundamentos da profissão em Sergipe Authors: Santos, Giovanna Yasmin Dionísio dos Abstract: This study examined the meaning and significance of the Graduate Program in Social Work (PROSS) at the Federal University of Sergipe, considering its contribution to studies, research, and analyses developed on the Foundations of Social Work and their theoretical approaches, as well as the ways in which this production has been expressed within the academic-scientific sphere and the field’s theoretical framework. The research sought to understand the relevance of expanding, appropriating, and deepening discussions on the Foundations of Social Work within stricto-sensu graduate education, based on an analysis of the academic works produced within the program. The aim was to highlight how contemporary academic production has articulated dialogue around the profession’s foundational principles.The study was grounded in the historical-dialectical materialist method, enabling an understanding of the historical, social, and institutional determinations shaping knowledge production in the field. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining the quantitative survey and systematization of the analyzed dissertations with a qualitative interpretation of their content and thematic axes. The findings allowed for an assessment of the strengths, continuities, and challenges that permeate the institution, its academic corpus, and research on the profession’s foundations. The results also underscore the importance of strengthening and encouraging continuing education processes, as these not only update knowledge but also provide support for improving teaching practices and academic production. Such efforts contribute to the consolidation of research lines and curricula aligned with a critical investigative perspective, articulated with the demands of social reality and the contemporary academic-scientific research landscape.

Title: A produção social e racializada da dor : tortura estrutural e as violações ao direito à saúde no Complexo Penitenciário Manoel Carvalho Neto (COPEMCAN) Authors: Mesquita, Francyelly Menezes Abstract: This study analyzes the social and racialized production of suffering within the Manoel Carvalho Neto Penitentiary Complex (COPEMCAN), located in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, Brazil. The central objective of the investigation is to examine the extent to which the institutional conditions and dynamics described in the Inspection Report of the National Mechanism for the Prevention and Combat of Torture (MNPCT) constitute expressions of structural torture within COPEMCAN, particularly in the area of health care and psychosocial assistance. Grounded in the historical-dialectical materialist framework, this qualitative research employs bibliographical and documentary analysis, utilizing the MNPCT report as the primary empirical source to unveil the essence of the object of study beyond institutional narratives. The theoretical analysis articulates the categories of the penal State, the social question, and structural racism, demonstrating that the prison system operates as a mechanism of control and neutralization of the surplus working class in contemporary capitalism. The findings demonstrate that COPEMCAN functions under an alarming state of overcrowding, housing over 2,700 individuals in a space designed for 800, which institutionalizes precariousness and unsanitary conditions as the norm. Regarding health care, the study identified the deliberate production of illness, characterized by endemic tuberculosis, chronic lack of access to medication, and predominantly extractive dental practices. Penal selectivity is confirmed by the sociodemographic profile, in which 88.2% of the identified incarcerated population is Black, revealing that structural torture has a defined racial and class target. The study concludes that institutional violence at COPEMCAN does not constitute a management failure, but rather a political strategy for managing institutional cruelty and expropriating life, reaffirming the ethical-political commitment of Social Work to denouncing human rights violations perpetrated by the State.
