This research aims at showing that games, dynamics and good forest practices were fundamental to the teaching of environmental education. This study was performed with fifteen students from a state high school who attended theoretical and practical classes at State University of Northern Paraná. Firstly we conducted the application of one game about natural places and another was about animals and plants. After that, we did different dynamics about ecology and the environment. Finally, we asked the participants to develop the agroforest process. Text excerpts from a questionnaire were chosen by means of those different instruments/tools, which were subject to discursive textual analysis. The results showed that those practices were effective in the teaching of environmental education. However, the results indicated that students know little about regional plants and regional animals. Therefore, there is a need to develop more activities so they learn names of Brazilian plants and animals.

The concept of digital exclusion comprises the extensive levels of societies that remain outside the phenomenon of the information society and the expansion of modern digital networks. The purpose of this article was to verify if there is a digital exclusion in the scope of the State of São Paulo and its Capital, or if there is a lack of interest by the population in general to be included digitally. It was used data from several studies carried out by the state government and by the city of São Paulo, and also some indicators pointed out by TIC Domicílios, a survey that has been carried out annually since 2005 in the country. The results obtained show a growing and evolving demand for greater digital inclusion and, even with several initiatives of the government entities, object of this work, there are still large gaps and bottlenecks related to the topic that need to be overcome, in order to democratically provide greater inclusion of the entire stratum of society targeted by the study.

This article aims to show the analysis made of the web-mobile platform of social security, based on concepts of usability on the platform where the system is located, usability aimed at the elderly public, bringing a case study of the system based on the concepts mentioned, evaluating each point of the platform and analyzing whether the interface properly uses the usability methods and techniques in the most appropriate way for elderly users on its platform for mobile devices, returning as a basis that the creator of the system must keep in mind that the end user, in addition to being an older audience, will be accessing their system through a small screen, with slower and unstable network connections, lower hardware capacity than desktop computers, thus a greater need for fast responses, since that will be accessed in public environments, which dictates a more dynamic and easier and more intuitive access to the site.

This article aims to analyze the development of the Mechanical Technology and Accessory Turning subject within the scope of Pronatec, considering David Ausubel's theory of meaningful learning as a potentiating element of the teaching process. The pedagogical planning of the discipline will be discussed and how the Ausubelian theory was incorporated into the teaching practice from the author's experiences as a teacher of the discipline taught in the mechanical turning course under coordination of the Federal Institute of Alagoas Coruripe campus. The different stages that constitute meaningful teaching will be highlighted, with emphasis on the subsumers necessary for the learning of concepts associated with materials sciencemetals, mechanical technology and machining processes. The results obtained after the application of the methodological instruments will be presented, constituted by an evaluation of previous knowledge, tables of analysis class by class and a assessment of acquired knowledge allowing to identify the benefits arising from this theory in the field of professional learning.

The Six Sigma methodology aims to reduce process variations, eliminating possible causes and occurrences of defects. Composed of five steps which are summarized in the acronym DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the methodology aims to optimize quality control and process stability in a management system. In this sense, the work presents an improvement project carried out in an auto parts manufacturer in the city of Itapetininga/SP in 2021. When analyzing the injection molding process of automotive Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monometer (EPDM) gaskets, it was found a high rate of visual defects in the trims. Based on the Six Sigma methodology, the DMAIC sequence and quality tools as check sheets, Pareto and Ishikawa diagrams, the group of causes were surveyed, in order to implement improvement actions. That way, upon finding the recurring non-conformities and their causes, an improvement project was prepared which was divided into action aiming at the optimization and efficiency of the process. After carrying out such actions, it was found that the defect reduction objectives were achieved, impacting the company´s profitability.

Violence against women is a phenomenon that has been occuring since the beginning of time and is not restricted to color, class, age, or religion. The aggressions can be physical, psychological, moral, sexual and property. And in many cases, they are repetitive, even fatal. Domestic and family violence is the main cause of femicide in Brazil and in the world. In this article we will deal with applications that aim to help women victims of violence and we will talk a little about the features and characteristics of applications that are already available for the female audience in the market. As this type of application is important for society, it is also necessary to understand why they have little publicity and, consequently, are little known by women, as our research shows. An analysis of the research was also be carried out to propose the unification of all existing functionalities in a single application. After analyzing the applications with this theme, it was observed that most are restricted to automatic requests for help, but few trigger direct contact with the police, making an immediate request for help. The article aims to clarify the population of women about the existence of applications that can help in situations of violence and encourage developers, government entities, companies, startups and the like, to develop new applications with more advanced features.

With the pandemic’s onset, school management discovered a new problem to be faced: the readjustment of the educational system so that students would not be harmed by social distancing, adopting, then, the Emergency Remote Teaching. Considering it, this study aims to investigate the mental health of teachers working between elementary and high school, besides the difficulties when working in a virtual environment. The research was carried out from a bibliographic survey and the analysis of data collected in field research, with an anonymous 26-question questionnaire applied to 7 schools in Sao Paulo city, resulting in a sample of 45 volunteers and a conversation with one school principal. When examining the results, it was observed the negative impact on the teachers, whether due to low expectations for the remote work, lack of experience using the needed resources, or unavailability of suitable technology.

Blended Learning is a teaching methodology that aims to reconcile face-to-face and online learning methods, where students use technological resources and devices (computers, tablets, cell phones, notebooks that have internet access) to be evaluated together with traditional classroom learning resources (notebooks and books), and the teacher can use these same means to evaluate the student, so this type of methodology becomes a tendency to be aggregated and used in schools and universities, since, technology is constantly evolving, improving more and more and becoming more present in society. This article aims to show the advantages, challenges, and ways in which technology can be used in this teaching model. It was discussed in the present work, why this teaching methodology is a trend, and to highlight how much technology has to add and facilitate both the student's and the teacher's life. It was also observed that in Brazil there is still a lack of structure and resources in schools and students' homes for this teaching methodology to be applied effectively.

This report addresses the literacy process through the use of the phonic method carried out in a 2nd year elementary school class in the public network of a municipality in the countryside of the State of São Paulo. During the process, the grapheme and phoneme relationship was developed with the students, passing through three learning stages. To enrich the implementation of this method, lists were worked daily, as well as short texts, in addition to activities from a program downloaded on the equipment of the school's computer room. The need to develop this method occurred due to the great lag presented by the students during the diagnostic evaluation. In order to be successful in its application, it was necessary that the selected method was developed by deepening the theoretical framework and paying attention to clarity in the diction of the pronunciation of phonemes, syllables and words, in order to provide the expansion of knowledge about reading and writing. The reference used was based on authors who, in their research, prove the relevance of the method in teacher training, as well as its effectiveness, especially with children with learning difficulties.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is the major cause of health problems among communicable diseases and predominates as an etiology in cases of death from a single infectious agent. In the prison environment, this is even more evident, as overcrowding, poor nutrition, drug consumption and the coexistence of other diseases, associated with the precariousness of the health service, favors the spread of the disease within the walls and to the families of inmates. Currently, it is estimated that the incidence of tuberculosis in the population deprived of liberty corresponds to approximately 11.2% of new cases in the country, and this group represents only 0.3% of the Brazilian population.  Methods: In this context, the present study aims to carry out an epidemiological analysis of tuberculosis in the prison population of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), in addition to identifying the main factors related to this type of involvement using measures of dispersion, central tendency and frequency, as well as Student’s T tests for independent samples and Mann-Whitney U tests in cases where the assumptions for parametric tests were not met, considering a 95 % confidence interval. Results: 1880 cases of tuberculosis were registered, with a monthly average of 22.38 notifications. The proximity of the factors brown ethnicity, male sex, age between 20 and 29 years to the center of case density and between the use of alcohol, other drugs and the abandonment of treatment was notable. Conclusion: Thus, the need for new prevention strategies in this context is highlighted due to the high incidence of tuberculosis, often related to negligence and misinformation.
