Aim: The purpose of the research is to expose the effect of programmed technological obsolescence on personal financial management performed through Android financial apps. Method: A quantitative study with exploratory design was conducted based on a sample of 73 applications from the play store that manage personal finances. Non-participant observation and exploratory data analysis techniques were employed by collecting the information in observation records. Results and discussion: It was determined that personal financial management mediated by financial apps is negatively affected by technological obsolescence and that smartphone hardware and software materialize a typology of obsolescence that in turn impacts the financial control stage. The non-existence of studies that directly relate programmed technological obsolescence personal financial management using apps was evidenced, so the importance of continuous adaptability to smartphone hardware and software updates, altering financial decision making, is not understood. Conclusions: Personal finances managed with financial apps and/or smartphones are vulnerable to technological obsolescence, generating insecurity in the technological management of financial information causing loss of financial control.

Objective: To analyze the effect of cognitive and affective components on brand/community attachment, as well as post-consumption behavior through the variables: positive word-of-mouth (Word-of-mouth-WOM+, Resistance to Negative Information (RIN) and Repurchase Intention (RI) to determine which construct is more influential. Method: Quantitative study that exposes a causal model of consumer-brand-brand community relationships. The variables analyzed passed validity and reliability tests, which were verified through structural equation modeling using SmartPLS software. Results: It was found that Brand Attachment (BA) has as direct antecedents brand involvement and brand identification. In addition, both Brand Attachment (BA) and brand community attachment lead to brand promotion, resistance to negative information and interest in repeat purchases in the future. Conclusions: Consumers develop a long-term relationship with their brand, for this, they rely first on the cognitive and then on the affected component. In addition, there are categories in which the reflexive, analytical and conscious behavior of the consumer is what motivates and leads to purchase decisions and use of the brand.

Nudibranchs are marine gastropods with no shell and usually have a beautiful color pattern. The aim of this work was to record the scyllaeid Crosslandia daedali Poorman & Mulliner 1981 associated with brown algae in the coastal zone from the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. One individual of this species was collected in November 2019 at about 0.5 meters in depth in the subtidal zone of Cabo Branco Beach in the city of João Pessoa. Immediately after collection, the scyllaeid was transferred to a container with seawater, photographed still alive and then fixed in 70% alcohol. The individual measured about 15 mm in length, presented a typical orange-brown color pattern and was associated with brown algae of the genus Padina (Class Phaeophyceae). A large gap in knowledge remains on the richness of nudibranchs in coastal ecosystems of northeastern Brazil associated with algae and reef ecosystems, including the state of Paraíba, which needs to be studied due to the degradation of tropical coastal ecosystems.

This work sought to present how Environmental Education is presented in the didactic pedagogical activities of ECIT João Roberto Borges de Souza, according to the Resolution CNE/CP nº. 2/2012 that establishes National Curriculum Guidelines for Environmental Education. It is important to highlight that the insertion of the environmental issue in the curricula of basic education schools has been recommended by several factors that contributed to public policies in Brazil, among them the National Policy for the Environment (PNMA), the Law of Directives and Bases of National Education (LDBEN), the National Curricular Parameters (PCN), and also the National Policy for Environmental Education (PNEA). Through exploratory research of qualitative nature with descriptive and explanatory analysis, it was possible to observe from the document analysis that the school partially complies with the resolution. Based on the institutional documents analyzed, only two subjects presented contents that meet the National Policy for Environmental Education. As for the Political Pedagogical Project (PPP), the school makes no mention in this document of activities, projects, practices and actions with environmental issues. Therefore, it is necessary to build informal and formal educational processes, using dynamic and relevant tools and materials, with the ability to enable an Environmental Education process that enables changes in habits and customs compatible with the needs of communities, as recommended by the World Conferences on Environment.

Ozone (O3) is a molecule composed of three atoms of oxygen, very unstable, capable of reacting with various substances in the animal organism, giving rise to by-products that will participate in biochemical reactions. Under this reality, O3 has a broad mechanism of action and can be used in various pathologies of animals, being widely used in the treatment of wound healing. O3 is a substance found naturally in the Earth's atmosphere, however, for its therapeutic use, O3 is produced by a medical generator, which, through high-voltage-electrical-discharges, is capable of capturing medical oxygen from a cylinder and disintegrating it. it so that its molecules are reorganized in the form of ozone. Ozone therapy is considered an integrative therapy that is characterized by the application of a mixture of ozone gas and oxygen gas (O2), with a maximum of 5% O3 (CARNEIRO, 2023; DI FILIPPO et al., 2020). Because it has a broad mechanism of action, ozone therapy is effective in several animal pathologies. The purpose of repeated administration of ozone is to create resistance against oxidative stress by stimulating the antioxidant system, therefore, medicinal ozone is considered a prodrug, as its by-products are responsible for biological effects in the patient's body (DE OLIVEIRA et al., 2014; VASCONCELOS et al., 2022). Ozone in its medicinal use has established itself as a promising treatment and prophylaxis for several conditions, mainly due to its broad mechanism of action, with beneficial effects such as immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and healing. Allows penetration into the deep layers of the skin, increasing the supply of oxygen to the cells and strengthening the natural protective barrier. When using the product in oil, it should be used by applying a few drops to the affected areas of the skin several times a day and, in accordance with the guidance of the veterinarian, the treated area should be massaged (WILMINK; VAN WEEREN, 2004). The use of O3 is recommended when the patient has itching, skin inflammation, bacterial skin infections, fungal infections, hardened scar tissue, eczema, fissures, gingivitis and ear infections, always following the advice of the veterinarian. The application of ozone in the form of ozonated oil has been reported to be the most effective.

In recent times, the area burned by wildfires in the Atlantic Rainforest, a biodiversity hotspot, has increased and its occurrence may threaten this biome. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of three fire risk indices for a historical time series in Vale do Paraíba Paulista, southeast Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil. Daily meteorological data from automatic weather stations and hotspots records from INPE fire monitoring program were used to validate the formulas. Three fire risk indices were calculated: Angstron, Monte Alegre Formula (MAF) and Telecyn. We expected that we would find an increase in fire risk in recent years in the region, which we found for some municipalities, and that burning risk would be higher in dry months, which we showed. Moreover, we argued that protected areas surrounding higher fire risk sites are being threatened, especially near São Luiz do Paraitinga and Taubaté. Lastly, considering the higher probability in detecting fire risk in higher classes, Angstron was the most adequate for Campos do Jordão and MAF for Sao Luiz do Paraitinga, Taubaté and Cachoeira Paulista.

This book recovers a collective dream: "that everyone knows what we do in STs"; because among all that we do, some say, Social Workers have no time left to write. Others say that it is difficult to focus on what to write about, because everything becomes so everyday and that makes it less important. Perhaps the obstacle lies in trying to frame ourselves in a scientific rationality where what is important to us does not fit, and then... why write?That is how the challenge arose. To write so that others may know how days go by in contexts of poverty, because for us injustices have a name and a surname, they walk and wander knocking on doors and claiming at least a little bit of equity.

The present issue invites us to think, it emerges from a complex moment, for many desolate, for all unequal; it emerges from the destructuring that the pandemic implied in the daily lives, in the institutional lives, in the reproduction of life as a whole. Many years ago, traversed by the evolution of the pandemic, by the restrictions and limitations, we wondered about the future, about the possible reconfigurations, about what would remain after all, after so much. Today we give ourselves the opportunity to retrace our steps, to recover ourselves and, in this process, to give an account of what is possible, of the plots that we were able to sustain, mediated by technologies, by fleeting encounters, the networks that were woven - even and in spite of everything - in the territories we inhabit. We met again, we recovered the daily life, the walk in the neighborhoods, in the institutions, the face to face dialogue, the embrace and also the streets and their struggles. We met again in a complex scenario, we witnessed the deepening of inequalities in a convulsed geopolitical context and a Latin America shaken by unthinkable advances and setbacks. And here we are, on the move... This issue brings together productions that show what we have been able to build in the different scenarios we have gone through: protests that take shape in textile art, in the voices and concrete actions of Latin American women, united in the need to transform what is imposed, as a condition of inferiority, in the weaving of a mechanism of protest and social transformation with a sense of communality. Threads that were embroidered and woven in pandemics and found in the power of reunion their expansion, re-signifying other possible worlds. We also revisited the territories where the organizations involved in care have been able to give an account of community ties, of daily care, putting these discussions on the agenda and, with them, the possibility of discussing with the State the necessary policies for the sectors crossed by inequalities in times of isolation. And we gave ourselves the possibility of looking at ourselves as a profession that had to re-signify itself, dusting off the dust of routine practices, in the need to respond to the new emergencies. And we looked at ourselves again, we rediscovered our creative potential of other interventions, we vindicated our work and, from this uncomfortable place, we also re-signified our struggles and disputes within the institutions we work in. This reality that challenges us also offers us the possibility of interweaving ourselves, of discussing what has crossed and crosses us, both in the academy and in the territories, in the neighborhood, in the spaces we inhabit. The challenge lies in sustaining what is emerging, what was born in the pandemic and enabled us to rediscover the power of walking with others, of building with others, finding new ways to continue disputing and claiming for a sovereign, fair and egalitarian Latin America; because the transformative potential of the commons, which undermines the very roots of liberal capitalist rationality, is what has allowed us to put the body to the restrictions of the pandemic and enables this reunion to become, perhaps, the seed of other possible worlds.

Susana Cazzaniga es Licenciada en Trabajo Social, Especialista en Investigación Científica y Doctora en Ciencias Sociales por la Universidad Nacional Entre Ríos. Su tema de investigación doctoral se vinculó con las cuestiones de legitimidad y legitimación en Trabajo Social en el caso argentino. Ha escrito un sinnúmero de libros, capítulos de libros y artículos en revistas científicas. Ha realizado multiplicidad de cursos de grado y de posgrado en distintos lugares de América Latina y España. Asimismo, es una referente muy querida por su calidad humana y por su compromiso académico, investigativo e intelectual en el campo del Trabajo Social. En este número titulado "Pandemia y después: la potencia del reencuentro" –inspirado en la idea de proceso y entendiendo que éste es "un después que está siendo"–, conversamos en torno a algunas de las discusiones y argumentos que viene construyendo como docente e investigadora. La entrevista se organizó en tres momentos. El primero, vinculado a esta cuestión de la pandemia y después. El segundo, repensando algunas discusiones que consideramos pertinentes recuperar a partir de categorías que Susana Cazzaniga viene trabajando vinculadas al Trabajo Social. Y el último, relacionado con algunas preguntas formuladas por estudiantes de Trabajo Social de la Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto, Argentina.  

The present work aims to highlight new expression resources of the social field, which are the result of innovative crosses between textile art and social protest actions, which emerge in our sister countries of Latin America and are strengthened in the period of global pandemic caused by Covid-19. It is an experience shared with a group of women activists from different countries (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Argentina) who use textiles as a means of expression, who were strengthened during the pandemic period and have given the opportunity to lead spaces of social protest. For this, we will take some cases of women who from different disciplines have led social claims, through these new languages, which allow us to make inequalities in the region visible.  Among them, we can mention experiences of textile art as a tool for social struggle. Burlaps, as a support for threads of denunciation, which have circulated around the world, related to the struggles against patriarchy, abuse of power, social inequalities, forms of resistance, feminist proposals and social claims to governments. We believe that these spaces provide us with valuable opportunities for disciplinary, cultural, intersectorial and interdisciplinary feedback and allow us to experience and develop a "feeling" of our region, situated developments that meet the needs of the territories and the subjects, both at the micro level and at the macro level and create conditions for the possibility of languages ​​that transcend and allow impact.
