Sorority has gained relevance in latest feminist discourses, in Spain and in the wide world. While in Spain its use is recent, other historical periods of feminism have already produced important reflections on the subject that can illuminate the contemporary analysis. The idea of sorority that is currently used can be examined through several components: the trust in the testimonies of all women, the appeal to emotionality, to care and to shared vulnerability, and the appreciation of the unity between women over and above their differences. The political strength of the women's alliance, however, is not without drawbacks. All these aspects deserve a careful consideration in order to construct a politically fruitful concept of sorority.

Animation is the process of simulating movement through image sequences. This art has been produced for centuries; however, this practice has become job opportunity since the 20th century when new techniques were developed. The purpose of this research is to observe, through a bibliographical review, this historical journey from the 20th century to the present day, to determine the impact that the emergence of computer graphics has had on animation, which from that moment on was divided into two parts: a traditional animation, which consists of the process done manually before 1960 and computer animation, the form of hybrid production that emerged soon after. It was done a research based on the literature of several authors, including Professor Alberto Lucena Junior, the main reference, whose studies permitted us to understand that the animation reached its full development with the hybridization of its process with the arrival of computer animation, as it became more efficient than its manual counterpart. Furthermore, it was possible to observe that the animator, even with the technological prowess, still plays a fundamental role in this work.

This article aimed to address the challenges faced by women when compared to men to achieve and perform in leadership positions within the corporate environment, seeking to present the difficulties faced, taking into account various factors such as inequality and gender equity, in addition to the existing historical prejudice in relation to the presence of women in organizations. For more assertive results, exploratory and quantitative field research methods were used, where a 12-question questionnaire was developed for women who work or have worked in the field of leadership, with the premise of identifying the challenges faced to reach their respective positions. In a quantitative analysis of the research, data was calculated, concluding the existence, even today, of discrimination and inequality of opportunities for women in the corporate environment, with a smaller number of women working in leadership positions in companies.

The fusion of biological sciences with computer science has given rise to bioinformatics. Since it is an area that deals directly with life, where computers play a central role, the ethical issues become even more complex. In this sense, this study begins by drawing a parallel between the evolution of genetics and that of computers, and then an essay is proposed, inviting reflection on how responsible actions by professionals in the field can help them conduct their work on ethical bases.

A pesquisa consiste em introduzir a reflexão e compreensão sobre a inserção dos jovens nas Tecnologias de Comunicação e Informação da Educação Básica e o desenvolvimento crítico da leitura dessas informações por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica à luz da Política Pública para Educação de Jovens e das tecnologias existentes, buscando compreender a complexidade de pensar na postura da escola e na capacitação de professores priorizando a qualidade educacional. Em nossa análise o objetivo estava em compreender a tecnologia na educação e os ambientes virtuais disponíveis na prática educativa, analisar os fatores que determinam um bom resultado na educação e as relações entre alunos e professores com as novas tecnologias e como isso interferem no desenvolvimento educacional. Para isso, foi adotado um referencial teórico para fundamentação do trabalho de pesquisa, a fim de estruturar o artigo e viabilizar compreender a estrutura educacional. Para referenciar o trabalho com políticas públicas para educação de jovens e adultos a Constituição e a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases foram essenciais para fundamentar a discussão, nas questões que relacionaram a importância da leitura de Mundo, utilizamos como base os trabalhos de Freire (2006 e 2015) que fortaleceram a importância de uma visão crítica do que é informado e, por fim, na inserção dos jovens da Educação Básica na Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação Barbosa et. al. (2015) e Blikstein e Zuffo (2012) contribuíram para compreendermos as diversas possibilidades e estratégias para o uso das tecnologias. Nesse sentido, acreditamos que este estudo permitirá a compreensão de uma categoria analítica a partir dessas questões essenciais para a educação.                  

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote learning has become part of the daily lives of many people around the world and with that came the need to adapt to this new way of learning and its tools. The objective in this article is to reflect on some adaptations of face-to-face to remote teaching during the pandemic and to know the perception of FATEC Baixada Santista (SP) students in relation to Microsoft Teams, resource chosen to make possible online classes in this scenario. For this, an applied exploratory and qualitative research was carried out, involving a literature review and field research with students regularly enrolled in the institution and a survey of the platform demonstrating the main changes that have occurred since its launch. It was observed some factors present at opinions collected: the lack of physical contact that makes it difficult to get close to colleagues and educators; the difficulty of interacting when asking questions, talking to the teacher or presenting group work; facilitating access to materials used in class; good conditions for learning in a virtual environment; and the predilection for face-to-face teaching. It is concluded that remote teaching is perceived as advantageous in certain pedagogical aspects, as it is an obstacle to socialization, especially for the male audience and under 25 years of age.

This paper proposes the development of a method for designing Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) can measure "in vitro" the improvement of reliability and risks with inherent safety concept as well as criteria for design validation. The VAD models used and developed in this research project were: i) VAD.PETG-01 with a top design and a base that connects to the pump housing, a magnetic coupling with six magnets that allows the drive by an external motor and bearing shaft clearance adjustment; ii) VAD.PETG.02 with a brushless magnetic motor, rotor with bearings and rolling elements driven by direct conduction, which allows the operation of this internal motor. The method, with the use of HFA, provided the definition of failure frequencies for the models tested which were 5.0014E-02 for VAD-PETG-01 and 3.314E-03 for DAV.PETG.02. The failure frequency for the pumps from Reyes' research, used as a reference for applying the method, was 1.8228E-05. With the failure frequencies of the top events for each of the models, it was possible to calculate the reliability improvement index between them, which was 0.068 and with a % Reliability Improvement of 93.20%. The models DAV.PETG.01 and DAV.PETG.02 were plotted in the "unacceptable" region of the acceptability criterion, due to the high failure frequency. As a reference the Reyes pumps were also plotted, but in the "acceptable" region. For the research problem, the method presented measurable results of reliability improvement among the tested models. In addition to confirming the acceptability of the Reyes pumps, used as a case study. The acceptability criterion was shown to be consistent with the calculated reliability data.

It is evident that with the advancement of technology, the frequency of its use in the most varied environments is increasing. In the educational field, we can see the growth of this scenario of technological integration, including its use aimed at obtaining knowledge through educational games or digital platforms. These two factors, together, result in the increase of initiatives for the learning of Information Technology (IT) and consequently the teaching of algorithms and logic programming, since it is the basis for a lot of knowledge in IT. The presented study focuses on demonstrating how logic programming can be an important learning tool for children through the main educational software and tools for this purpose, starting with a bibliographic research based on researchers in the education and development of children's thinking. In addition, the article approaches proposals for the insertion of Computational Thinking in education, also showing the results of a case study with an experimental class with 17 students from the 4th and 5th year of Elementary School. Through a descriptive analysis of the results obtained, it was possible to analyze the children's understanding of the concepts taught from their point of view, as well as observing the satisfactory performance in unanimity when using tools elucidated in the study, since all of them completed the proposed activities.

In parallel with increased demand for healthy, functional, low cost and better access foods, functional foods emerged in the 80s aimed at optimizing nutrition and physiological functions of the individual. There are probiotics that act directly on the intestinal flora, interacting with microorganisms located in the intestine, promoting benefits for those who consume them. It is common to find lactic fermented beverages in the market and for years the industry USES these microorganisms as fermenting agents in order to generate alcoholic fermented beverages, so, although scarce in the literature, it is known that water kefir has the potential to produce this type of beverage, adding to the evidence of the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption as evidence arises on the connection of this consumption and its benefits to the cardiovascular system, Diabetes and cancer accumulate along with the nutritional properties of beet. The research conducted in order to explore the fermentative potential of water kefir, this article devised a beet wine in order to produce a functional drink uniting water kefir and beet juice as wort. And as a result, was found the viability of the production of a wine through this fermentation.
