This article presents the results of a study entitled Strengthening attention-concentration in high school students through the use of ICT. Its purpose is to show the pedagogical-motivational potential of these tools linked to attention-concentration, based on an action-research experience where attention-concentration problems were diagnosed, which were intervened through the application of three (3) workshops to an intentional sample of ten (10) students belonging to the IED Mayor de Barranquilla and the Caribbean, Colombia. The results revealed that, once the interests of the group were aligned with the pedagogical purposes of technological mediation, the students improved their attention - concentration; they were able to be enthusiastic, participate in a disciplined manner; produce and socialize content on websites and social networks with reflective messages alluding to the importance of ICT as a tool favorable to the consolidation of this skill. It is concluded that ICTs are an effective tool to consolidate attention-concentration as a determining skill in student academic performance.

The present work presents an analysis of how the use of social networks can interfere in the processes of buying and selling products or the provision of services. Through a survey carried out with a questionnaire, the hypothesis was tested that the degree of frequency of use and interaction through different social networks influences the consumption patterns of users. Data were found that validate the presented hypothesis. All participants use social networks, for the most part, daily. Using digital mechanisms, they interact with each other and with advertisements. Thus, they base their consumption propensity on these interactions and the type of content viewed. It is expected that the research will contribute to adopting strategies in the use of social networks and stimulate future research in favor of digital marketing.

The entire process inherent to training and norms to be contemplated for professional autonomy were described. It was concluded that this review was able to achieve its objective, showing essential conditions for the profession which nurses need to undertake in the area of aesthetic nursing, highlighting the continuous technical-scientific improvement, as well as the need to know the legislation before implementation of a health business.

Introduction: Sex education, as a guidance tool for young people at school, is crucial to the development of healthy relationships in children and adolescents, since it prevents sexually transmitted infections (STIs), assists in the construction of gender identity - as well as sexual orientation - and allows youth to reflect on the best way to initiate sexual activity. Objective: To analyze and describe, by means of a literature review, the nurse's perception regarding the educational strategies of sexual prevention for adolescents. Methodology: This is a literature review and descriptive study with a qualitative approach, carried out by means of a survey of journals from the Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) databases, as well as the Database on Nursing (BDENF) and the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). Conclusions: It is hoped, with this study, that the prejudices rooted in the social imaginary about taboos concerning the sexuality of children and adolescents will be dispelled, aiming at the importance of nursing professionals as guiding agents of this discussion, and taking into account the desires of the sexual activity of today's youth, so that the work of nurses may be more efficient for the circumstances of the new generation.

The culture of Oreochromis niloticus, popularly known as tilapia, in net-tanks has shown to be an activity of high zootechnical index in pisciculture, evidencing attractive economic, social, and environmental gains. The current pisciculture is configured as a modern and technified activity, demanding planning, application of scientific and market knowledge. Currently, Brazil ranks fourth in the world in the cultivation of the species and, only in 2020, 486,155 tons of this freshwater fish were produced. The net-tanks are closed with screens, covers, feeders, and floats, and various types of materials can be used. These places must present the characteristics of durability, lightness, ease of water renewal, resistance to corrosion and to colonization by algae, mollusks, and other organisms, besides being safe for the fish and operators, and low cost. O presente estudo, ao realizar um levantamento bibliográfico à volta da temática, promove uma abordagem sistemática dos principais aspectos que envolvem a atividade e permite que produtores e profissionais possam compreender melhor os métodos de inserção e utilização do sistema em sua propriedade, bem como a avaliação da viabilidade técnica e econômica dos projetos de piscicultura em tanques-rede, considerando as características fisiográficas, climáticas e econômicas específicas de cada região.

The evaluation of vaccination conditions is a relevant topic in the current public health context, as vaccination plays a fundamental role in the prevention of infectious diseases. Insufficient immunization in children under 1 year of age can pose significant health risks, including the possibility of severe sequelae and even death. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the vaccination conditions of children under 1 year of age in the period from 2018 to 2022 in Alagoas. To achieve this, documentary research on vaccination conditions was conducted, followed by an analysis of epidemiological data on vaccination coverage in Alagoas. The evaluation revealed that vaccination coverage has shown low rates in some regions of Alagoas, indicating the need to investigate the causes of vaccine abandonment. Strategies proposed to increase vaccination coverage in Alagoas include raising awareness about the importance of vaccination, improving access to healthcare facilities, and providing training for healthcare professionals. This work plays a significant role by contributing to the development of effective public policies aimed at increasing vaccination coverage in the first year of life in Alagoas, thereby protecting the population against severe infectious diseases and significantly reducing mortality rates.
