She worked as a nurse and social worker in Rio de Janeiro until retiring from her job at a psychiatric hospital. She was also a partner of psychiatrist Nise da Silveira in using artistic expressions with the patients. Through an integrative literature review, we observed the relevance of Ivone Lara's legacy in using music as an innovative strategy for mental health, demonstrating a humanized and anti-asylum perspective for black people institutionalized in Brazil. Finally, we emphasize samba as a constitutive element of quilombagem, religiosity, rhythm, and corporeality in opposition to the various policies of oppression and erasure inherent in Brazil's colonial system.</em></p> <p> </p>2025-03-28T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1952The faces of intolerance towards religions of African origin2025-03-15T22:40:16+01:00Marilene Lopes de Jesusmarilenejesus@gmail.comClaudemir Santos de Jesusprofclaudemirsj@gmail.com<p>Religious intolerance to candomblé adherents is the product of the ramifications of racism, which has been structured over the years, not Brazil, since the arrival of the colonizers. In this context, the religions of african matrix had their deconstruction, in which they added the demonization in the rites and cultural customs of the Africans here enslaved. Such rites and rituals were criminalized for four centuries and only from the 21st century were the right to legal and political speech. This study aimed to discuss the various faces of intolerance to religions of African origin, specific to candomblé, though research to journalistic reports in newspapers and magazines of great circulation, blogs, websites of broadcasters and social networks such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, related to religious intolerance. Forty selected subjects were analyzed. The discussion highlighted cases of religious intolerance, which mostly were reported in police stations and support from black movement entities, but it was also perceived the lack of a more energetic positioning of justice and government agencies, so that the laws could be complied with. It is concluded that there is necessary to have education for diversity in order to minimize cases of intolerance and violence, but also government policies.</p>2025-04-02T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1786Teacher Training for Early Childhood Education on the Inclusion of Children with ASD2024-12-28T21:41:09+01:00Gilvana Nascimento Rodrigues Cantanhêdegilvananrodrigues@hotmail.comGeana Rodrigues Oliveirageanaroliveira@hotmail.com<p><em>Teacher training has been widely discussed in various spaces, especially in the education sector, as a way of promoting advances in education, especially when it comes to the inclusion of children with disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The aim of this study was to do mapping the training of early childhood education teachers in the inclusion of children with ASD. As a methodology, a survey was carried out in the CAPES Journal Portal database between 2018 and 2024 using the following descriptors: teacher training, ASD and early childhood education, thus 16 papers were found, of which only 3 were directly related to the theme. It was found that there is still little research on the inclusion of children with ASD in schools; it was observed that, although continuing training is important, there is a need for coordination between the state, the school, teachers and parents in order to promote the development of students. It was also pointed out that the training supports the teachers, giving them a theoretical basis for teaching children with ASD. Thus, it can be concluded that there are few articles on the subject studied, which demonstrates the need for more research that relates training for early childhood education teachers and children with ASD, so that there is greater and better elucidations on the training of early childhood education teachers from the perspective of school inclusion</em></p>2025-02-04T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1825Nursing team interventions in victims of stroke in the Emergency Room2025-01-18T03:56:11+01:00Aline Miguel Caetanoalinemiguelrx2018@gmail.comClaudemir Santos de Jesusudemi34@gmail.comTatiane Raquel Santana da Cruztati.raquel@gmail.comDiego da Silva Piresdiegospires@yahoo.com.brAmanda Alves Barretoamands_k@hotmail.comFabiola Regina Santos Calvetfabiolacalvet@gmail.comMárcia Calazans de Almeida Brunnercalazans_rj@yahoo.com.brSolange Soares Martinsprof.solangebsoaresdocente@gmail.comLígia D’arc Silva Rocha Pradoenfaligiaprado@hotmail.comPaula Rocha Louzada Villarinhopaula.villarinho@castelobranco.br<p><em>The objective of the study was to discuss nursing interventions in victims of ischemic stroke in the emergency department. Stroke is one of the main causes of death in the world, showing the importance of nursing care in care where minutes are precious and team dynamics and speed can save a life. The study is a literature review research, with a qualitative approach. In the discussion, the disease is marked by an obstruction in the arteries that supply irrigation to the brain. Its main causes include the formation of blood clots or the displacement of emboli, resulting in reduced flow of oxygen and nutrients to the brain region. In the period of 24 hours, such injuries can affect several aspects, such as loss of strength in the upper and lower limbs, lack of coordination, impaired communication, vision, difficulty swallowing, in addition to impacting cognitive functions such as understanding, reasoning, memory and state of consciousness. The study showed that complications, if not treated correctly, can lead to death without an additional apparent cause, so much so that when also addressing the risk factors, requested exams, complex and intense care provided to the patient, developed by the guidelines of the Health Directorate and the American Stoke Association (ASA) are important for effective care.</em></p>2025-01-20T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1875Nutritional and sociodemographic profile of elderly patients with dementia hospitalized in a specialized palliative care unit2025-02-06T20:36:41+01:00Alicia de Morais Alvesaliciaalves305@gmail.comLais da Silva Limalais.lima@escs.edu.brPatrícia Barbosa Freirepatriciafreirehsl@gmail.comSuziane Anozi Emerich de Albuquerquesuzianee@gmail.com<p><strong><em>Introduction: </em></strong><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">There has been an increase in dementia syndromes, which are among the most disabling in the elderly. The palliative care approach becomes imperative, as it aims to improve the quality of life of patients/families with a serious disease that threatens the continuity of life.

The <em>Solanum</em> genus comprises numerous species that have been found to exhibit antidiabetic, antitumor, and antimalarial properties. The current study seeks to assess the antioxidant properties, of crude extracts and crude extracts fractions of <em>S. sanctae-catharinae</em> aerial parts. The Folin-Ciocalteu method and the aluminum-trichloride method were used to determine TPC and TFC in crude extracts and fractions of aerial parts. Two assays were conducted to evaluate antioxidant activity: the DPPH test and the phosphomolibdenium method. Differences between sample means and control groups were determined using ANOVA (one way) with Tukey’s test coupled. Correlations were obtained using the Pearson correlation coefficient for bivariate correlations. Our findings shown that the remnant fraction of the ethanolic crude extract demonstrates the most relevant antioxidant activity, followed by the chloroform fraction of the ethanolic crude extract, the remnant fraction of the ethanolic-acetic crude extract. The presence of secondary metabolites such as phenols, flavonoids, coumarins, and alkaloids in <em>S. sanctae-catharinae</em> phytochemical screening suggest that this antioxidant activity can be attributed to the presence of this secondary metabolites. Furthermore, the results indicate a substantial quantity of polyphenols and flavonoids in both extracts. </p>2025-04-08T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2034Civil liability of digital influencers in the promotion of gambling: Legal analysis and implications in the Brazilian context2025-04-24T02:36:53+02:00Cynthia Lhourrana Santos Silvacynthialhourrana15@gmail.comVanuza Pires da Costavanuzapires.adv@gmail.com<p><em>This article analyzes the growing involvement of digital influencers in promoting gambling activities on online platforms, highlighting the legal and social challenges arising from this practice.

Furthermore, so-called anti-gravity experiments, as they challenge gravity, can be enriching tools in the teaching and learning process, as demonstrated in this research. Thus, this work aims to establish the theoretical and methodological elements that allow structuring learning and the formation of scientific concepts from experimentation. Based on the cognitive learning theory presented by Vygotsky (2009), this research adopted an approach grounded in social interaction and the development of an instigation for attractive experiments in students' perception. Thus, we adopted the Didactic Sequence (SD) as proposed by Zabala (1998) for a structured didactic foundation with a beginning, middle, and end. In this context, anti-gravity experiments brought an instigative framework for the understanding of the scientific concept, although we know that gravity cannot be annulled, we perceived in the results a collaborative participation in the students in groups and in the oral presentation.

However, retired seniors are vulnerable to abusive practices by financial institutions, suffering undue discounts on their social security benefits. The 1988 Federal Constitution protects consumers and ensures human dignity, directly linked to the concept of Minimum Existence, guaranteeing basic rights such as housing and health. The Consumer Protection Code (CDC) classifies financial abuse as illegal, imposing sanctions such as double refunds and compensation for moral damages. In addition, Summary 297 of the Superior Court of Justice confirms the applicability of the CDC to financial institutions, reinforcing consumer protection. A common and harmful practice is the hiring of the Consignable Margin Reserve (RMC), which discounts amounts from retirees without a defined term, resulting in ongoing debt. Many seniors, who are digitally illiterate and have little family support, are unable to identify or contest these charges. To address over-indebtedness, Law 14.181/2021 was created, improving consumer protection and allowing debt renegotiation, while preserving the Minimum Existence. The limit of 30% of monthly income for discounts is also being discussed, according to INSS IN 28/2008, aiming to avoid the financial vulnerability of the elderly. Despite the regulations, abusive practices persist, harming retirees and disrespecting their fundamental rights.</p>2025-03-28T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1841Surgical treatment of oral lymphangioma: clinical case report2025-01-27T15:09:37+01:00Allexandra Praxedes Gonçalvesallexandra.praxedes@yahoo.com.brLarielly de Paula Ribeirolariellycdo3@gmail.comCláudio Maranhão Pereiraclaudiomaranhao@hotmail.comOlegário Antônio Teixeira Netoolegario.neto@docenteunip.brLeonardo Araújo de Andradeleonardo.andrade@docenteunip.brTessa de Lucena Botelhotessabotelhol@gmail.com<p><em>Lymphatic malformations (LMs), or lymphangiomas, are benign congenital anomalies of the lymphatic system, often associated with syndromes.

The work “The Normal and the Pathological” by Georges Canguilhem, which deals with issues related to health, illness and healing, was used as a reflection. Key concepts were identified in Canguilhem's work, such as "norm", "pathology", "vitalism" and "knowledge" and six main categories: 1) Definitions and Distinctions; 2) Responsibility of the Living Being; 3) Relativity of Health and Illness; 4) Examples and Case Studies; 5) Philosophical and Physiological Perspectives; 6) Health as a Feeling and Meaning of Life. The conceptual map was created using the Canva application, which allowed for a calear visualization of the interconnections between the concepts. The study highlighted the importance of the conceptual map to understand the complexity of the notions of health and illness, according to Canguilhem, which challenges traditional and positivist definitions. The analysis revealed that illness should be understood not as the absence of health, but as an expression of the body to maintain balance and homeostasis, taking into account the individuality and subjectivity of each individual. In this way, normality cannot be seen as a fixed and immutable state, but as a dynamic and constantly evolving process, an expression of the organism's adaptation to its conditions. And, the boundary between normal and pathological is not a clear and objective line, but a space of transformation and complexity, with interaction of the subject with the environment through its normative character (normativity), and which responds to natural adversities. It is concluded that the construction of the conceptual map not only organized and synthesized knowledge in a visual way, but also functioned as an effective pedagogical tool to foster critical thinking about scientific knowledge and its ethical implications in the health area.</em></p>2025-04-14T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1779Use of Cannabis as an alternative treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)2024-12-22T16:54:27+01:00Danielle Santana de Carvalhodaniellesantanadecarvalho@gmail.comRanyelle dos Santos Rocharanyelle201584@gmail.comMarcos Daniel Seabra Santosmarcosdss_med@hotmail.comLetícia de Souza Ramosleticia.novo1@hotmail.comKarine Vaccaro Takokarinetako@hotmail.comMônica Santos de Melo Seabramonicameloseabra@yahoo.comMarília Trindade de Santana Souzabiomari@hotmail.com<p><em>Given the complexity of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), multidisciplinary treatments are essential, with recent emphasis on the therapeutic potential of cannabidiol (CBD), derived from Cannabis.

An integrative literature review was conducted in the SciELO, PubMed, and LILACS databases, using the English descriptors “Autism Spectrum Disorder,” “Cannabidiol,” “Cannabis,” and “Treatment.” Inclusion criteria included full-text studies published since 2018, available for free in Portuguese or English, while comments, editorials, articles published before 2018, and paid articles were excluded. The data analysis involved a full reading of the selected articles, the creation of a synthesis matrix, and the organization of information regarding the form of Cannabis use, doses, and effects from 16 articles. The reviewed studies suggest that the use of Cannabis extracts, especially those with high concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), represents a promising approach for managing behavioral and social symptoms associated with ASD. CBD has shown effectiveness in reducing symptoms such as anxiety, agitation, and repetitive behaviors, as well as improving social interaction and communication in individuals with ASD.

In addition, Google Scholar was used in isolation to complement the search. <strong>Results:</strong> The review consisted of eight articles. Several medicinal plants have been studied for the treatment of leishmaniasis. Bidens pilosa and Punica granatum have shown efficacy against the parasite, but Bidens pilosa also has immunomodulatory properties that may affect disease control. S. lucocarpum, A. glabra, and S. striata have also demonstrated leishmanicidal activity. Zerumbone, present in natural foods, has several biomedical properties. Jatropha multifida has shown antileishmanial activity and inhibition of bacterial growth. Studies with other plants, such as Carthamus tinctorius, Pimpinella anisum, Cuminum cyminum, Cinnamomum verum and Alhagi persarum, have shown efficacy against the parasite. These plants have potential as therapeutic alternatives for leishmaniasis; however, further research is needed to confirm their efficacy and safety. <strong>Final considerations:</strong> These studies highlighted the potential of several plants and plant extracts as sources of compounds with antiparasitic activity. Although further research and clinical studies are still needed to evaluate their efficacy and safety, these findings pave the way for the development of new therapies and drugs against leishmaniasis.</p>2025-01-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1797Assessment of the efficacy of Dupilumab in the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis in adults: an integrative review from 2019 to 20232025-01-04T23:35:57+01:00Beatriz Lima Soaressoares.beatriz@discente.ufma.brSueli de Souza Costascsueli@gmail.comNilson Otávio Sampaio Leitenilsonsampaio11@gmail.comAlice Lima Borgesalicelima23.22@gmail.comFrancisco Henrique Rodrigues Moraes do Carmofhrmoraes1@hotmail.comTassya Jordana Coqueiro Batalhajordanacoqueirobatalha@gmail.com<p>Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects both adults and children, with significant impacts on quality of life. In cases of moderate to severe AD in adults, conventional treatments are often insufficient for effective symptom control. In this context, dupilumab, a recently approved biologic for the management of AD, has emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in the treatment of AD in adults. This study is an integrative literature review. Research was conducted through the analysis of 16 articles published between 2019 and 2023, selected from the LILACS, PUBMED, and SCIELO databases, based on the guiding question: "What is the efficacy of dupilumab in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in adults?". Articles published in Portuguese and/or English were selected, organized, and systematized using a flow diagram. The results indicated that dupilumab was effective in reducing AD symptoms, such as pruritus and skin lesions, with a significant improvement in EASI and SCORAD scores. Efficacy was observed both as monotherapy and in combination with topical treatments, with more pronounced effects in a biweekly administration regimen. The treatment was well tolerated, with adverse reactions such as conjunctivitis and upper respiratory infections generally being mild and manageable. The analysis showed that frequent administration regimens sustain the therapeutic benefits over time. It is concluded that dupilumab is an effective and safe option for the treatment of AD in adults, offering an alternative to fill a therapeutic gap in the management of the disease, providing prolonged efficacy that was not achieved with previous treatments.</p>2025-01-16T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1835 Technological resources in probability teaching: a literature review of theses and dissertations2025-01-25T01:47:43+01:00Frank Apolo Pimentel de Oliveirafrnkapolo3@gmail.comValtemir Martins Cabralvmcabral@ufam.edu.br<p><em>The aim of this article was to identify recent scientific production on the application of technological resources in the teaching of probability in basic education, more specifically in the mathematics curriculum.

The educator's role goes beyond simply transmitting content, encompassing the mediation of learning and promoting collaborative and critical learning. Teacher training, therefore, must be guided toward the development of competencies that allow educators to respond to new educational demands, using technology as tools to facilitate knowledge construction. However, the Brazilian reality still faces challenges regarding teachers' initial training, with the precariousness of undergraduate courses and the lack of adequate working conditions. Continuing education emerges as a necessity to fill these gaps but often limits itself to compensatory actions, far from the goal of updating and deepening knowledge. For education to be effective, it is essential to invest in policies that promote teacher appreciation, improve their working conditions, and encourage the continuous development of their skills. Teacher appreciation and recognition are crucial for building a fair and efficient educational system that meets the needs of the 21st century and provides quality education for all. Therefore, the training and appreciation of teachers are central issues for the success of the educational process and for the future of new generations.</p>2025-04-23T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1986Criteria for inclusion of cancer patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment in the Home Enteral Nutrition Therapy Program: a proposal independent of the malnutrition criterion2025-03-30T16:19:49+02:00Silvânia Macedo de Vasconcelossvasconcelos33.smv@gmail.comFernanda Cintra Limafernutricao@hotmail.comRenata Costa Fortesfortes.rc@gmail.com<p><em>National and international guidelines recommend early nutritional intervention in cancer treatment as a prevention against malnutrition. Paradoxically, access to prior nutritional therapy, when linked to the Home Enteral Nutritional Therapy Program, is subject to the malnutrition criterion. Objective: To characterize the nutritional profile of patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment, according to the criteria of the Home Enteral Nutritional Therapy Program, regardless of malnutrition. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, and analytical study. 55 patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment with at least one of the criteria of the Home Enteral Nutritional Therapy Program and non-malnourished patients were included. Onco-hematological patients, children, and elderly patients over 65 years old and under exclusive palliative care were excluded. For nutritional risk screening, the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) was used. The analyses were performed in the R software (R Core Team 2024), with a significance level set at 5% (p<0.05). The results showed a significant difference between well-nourished, moderately malnourished, and severely malnourished patients, regarding BMI (p=0.01), percentage weight loss in 6 months (p=0.0001), with severely malnourished patients having lower BMI and greater weight loss. Regarding symptoms and therapeutic regimens used, a marginally significant result was obtained (p=0.06). There was a significant difference between candidates and non-candidates for the Home Enteral Nutritional Therapy Program, regarding weight (p=0.005) and BMI (p=0.004), being lower in patients who were candidates for the program. There was a significant relationship between being a candidate or not for the program (p=0.004), as well as medications in use (p=0.01). The conclusion demonstrated that cancer patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment, candidates for the Home Enteral Nutritional Therapy Program regardless of the malnutrition criterion, had significantly lower BMI and weight compared to non-candidates and presented more symptoms and a greater association with cytotoxic regimens. Suggested that new inclusion criteria for patients undergoing antineoplastic treatment be considered for the Home Enteral Nutritional Therapy Program, regardless of the malnutrition criterion.</em></p>2025-04-08T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1764Development of a health education technology for the elderly with systemic arterial hypertension2024-12-14T00:39:53+01:00Ana Maria Souza da Costaenfa06anasouza@gmail.comRodrigo Silva Marcelinomarcelinosilva.rm45@gmail.comRebeca Evangelista Folhadelarebecafolhadela@hotmail.comAnanias Facundes Guimarãesfacundesananias3@gmail.comVanessa de Oliveira Gomesnessa.gomes1997@gmail.comDhienifã Brena Marinho de Souzadhienifã.brena@gmail.comMaria Aparecida Silva Furtadomariapfurtado@gmail.com<p><strong><em>Objective:</em></strong><em> To report the experience of nursing students during the construction of an educational technology for elderly people with systemic arterial hypertension, assisted by primary health care in a municipality in the interior of the state of Amazonas. <strong>Methods:</strong> This is an experience report study, developed as the final activity of the curricular internship II of the Nursing Course, from January to March 2022.

Sarcopenia, for example, is a condition that affects a large part of this population, and knowing that it directly affects the health of elderly individuals, it is considered necessary to understand the aspects related to the causes and ways of preventing and treating it. <strong>Objectives:</strong> to identify the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors in elderly women in an Outpatient Unit. Methods: cross-sectional study, with 258 elderly women. The risk of sarcopenia was assessed using the SARC-F questionnaire and muscle strength using a dynamometer. Confirmation of sarcopenia was assessed using bioimpedance testing, following the protocol of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Elderly People (EWGSOP2). The chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and univariate logistic regression were performed. <strong>Results:</strong> The prevalence of sarcopenia was 20.1%, and the main associated factors were education, age group, physical activity and teething. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The study revealed a high prevalence of sarcopenia, associated with advanced age, edentulism and risk of malnutrition. Polypharmacy, multimorbidity and physical activity were associated with sarcopenia, but without significance. The importance of knowing these factors is highlighted to guide managers and health professionals in preventive interventions.</em></p>2025-02-14T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1737Use of condoms as a method of prevention among women who have sex with women for STI/HIV2024-12-06T19:55:32+01:00Geisly Hellen Vieira de Melo Santosgeisly.santos@eenf.ufal.brEmilia Natali Cruz Duarteemyduartester@gmail.comAlberto Magalhães Piresalbertompires.ia@gmail.comTaiwana Batista Buarque Lirataiwana.buarque@upe.brWanderson Santos de Fariaswandersonfarias96@hotmail.comCarla Andreia Alves de Andradecarla.andrade@eenf.ufal.br<p><em>Introduction: Female homosexual sexual practices were made invisible, especially during the AIDS epidemic. The understanding that the population of women who have sex with women (MSM) was less vulnerable to infection through sexual intercourse made the perception of lesbian and bisexual women absent, with regard to the use of condoms as a method of protection against HIV/AIDS. Method: An exploratory and descriptive survey was carried out with a cross-sectional and quantitative approach. It was carried out at the Specialized HIV/AIDS Assistance Service located at Hospital Oswaldo Cruz, in the city of Recife between May and December 2021 and the target population was made up of women who declared having sex with women and with women and men. Results: 96.19% of the interviewees responded that they had knowledge of the means of HIV transmission, 56.19% stated that they took measures to prevent HIV/AIDS, but only 30 (41.09%) responded that they used condoms. Discussion: The study revealed that despite knowledge, the perception of the absence of risk leads most of the interviewees to not carry out adequate prevention practices. The lack of perception of the risks that MSM have of HIV/AIDS infection occurs due to the certainty of not being infected in sexual relations between women, causing greater confidence and belief in less need for the use of condoms for protection. Final considerations: Thus, the main factors that influence the increased vulnerability of MSM to HIV/AIDS infection are the belief in low vulnerability, the lack of clarification about possible means of prevention and the absence of educational actions aimed at the lesbian and bisexual public.</em></p>2025-01-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2011Tax planning in rural livestock activity breeding and raising cattle with an emphasis on income tax2025-04-16T15:19:10+02:00Uérica Rana Ferreira Silvauericarana@gmail.comStelamar do Amordivinoemail@gmail.comBeatriz Cilene Mafra Neves Bigelibeatriz.cm@unitins.brCejana Marques Borgesc.adm@fasec.edu.br<p><em>Tax planning has been used to describe the organization of a company's business with a view to reducing its tax burden. Taxation in agribusiness, especially in rural activities, is a topic that deserves further exploration due to the existence of rules that allow for the reduction of tax burdens and the lack of knowledge on the subject among many accountants. A positive result in rural activities can fully offset previous losses, reducing the tax base due. However, if the producer opts for the 80% presumption regime on gross revenue, this offset will not be possible, which may lead to a higher future tax burden. Thus, this study aimed to highlight the importance of tax planning in rural livestock activities in the cattle breeding and rearing cycle, identifying the best form of taxation for rural producers. The methodology used is descriptive in nature and aimed to analyze financial information in a case study, to identify the best form of taxation with the lowest incidence of income tax for rural producers in the livestock sector, raising and rearing cattle, who have been operating as individuals, located in the municipality of Rio Sono/TO, taking into account their form of exploration of rural activity. </em><em>In light of these issues, the study concludes that the choice between an individual and a legal entity for tax purposes should consider factors such as the complexity of accounting management, the volume of revenue, and the need for strategic tax planning. For producers with high financial turnover and the possibility of consistent profits, formalizing as a legal entity may be more advantageous, as it allows for more efficient tax planning and the offsetting of losses without restrictions. For smaller producers, remaining as an individual may offer greater administrative simplicity and flexibility in taxation, provided there is adequate control of revenues and expenses. Therefore, it is recommended that rural producers periodically evaluate their tax structure and consult a tax planning specialist to optimize their tax burden and ensure the financial sustainability of their activity.</em></p>2025-04-16T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1790Microbial philogenetic analysis using molecular data: a review2025-01-02T21:02:03+01:00Elder Cavalcante Fabianelder.fabian@ifmt.edu.brFlávia Tavares Couto Fabiantavares.fla@gmail.com<p><em>The idea of designing and scheming biological evolution through phylogenetic trees probably started with the development of the classification system by Linnaeus in the 18th century, giving rise to phylogeny. The study of evolutionary relationships between organisms has long been explored by science and for a long time these processes were analyzed using morphological and behavioral data. In recent decades this has changed significantly thanks to the development of molecular biology techniques and the emergence of molecular phylogenetics. Beginning in 2005, with the development and democratization of DNA sequencing techniques, known as New Generation Sequencing (NGS), a new large-scale sequencing approach was allowed, leading to an exponential increase in the volume of information available on the genetic characteristics of organisms. The capacity that these techniques have to solve issues of great complexity has promoted phylogenetic analysis into essential tools for an increasing diversity of research areas. It is known that the manual processing of such a large volume of information becomes unfeasible, hence the need to develop tools capable of working with huge databases. From that need bioinformatics arises, which is an interdisciplinary field of science that combines biology, computer science, statistics, mathematics and engineering to promote proper analysis, interpretation and processing of these biological data. This study presents a narrative review on the main concepts and methodologies applied to evolutionary models and phylogenetic reconstruction, aiming to contextualize and provide subsidies for a better understanding of the steps of a phylogenetic analysis to researchers who want to use this tool in their studies.</em></p>2025-01-08T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1702Female Sex Hormones, Menopause and Periodontal Disease: A Literature Review2024-12-04T00:25:28+01:00Sarah Germano Bouzada Barrossarahbouzada@gmail.comEliziário Cesar de Vasconcelos Leitãoecvl2013@gmail.comAdelcio de Oliveira Sudárioannaluisabmf06@gmail.comMaria Aparecida Germano Façanhagermanomaria35@gmail.comAnna Luísa de Castro Mafraannaluisabmf06@gmail.comCamila Almeida Silvacamilas8lv@gmail.com<p><strong><em>Introduction:</em></strong><em> Periodontitis is a periodontal disease of bacterial origin that frequently affects and may destroy the periodontium. Menopause occurs exclusively in women and is defined as amenorrhea lasting more than 12 consecutive months, accompanied by estrogen deficiency, which can lead to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density, weakening the bones and increasing the risk of fractures. <strong>Objective:</strong> To highlight the influence of female sex hormones on periodontal changes after menopause. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> Articles published up to 2022 were selected using the following keywords: female sex hormones, menopause, periodontal disease, periodontitis, and their equivalents in English: "female sex hormones," "menopause," "periodontal disease," and "periodontitis. "<strong>Results:</strong> It is challenging to isolate a specific factor related to menopause that directly contributes to periodontal disease. The simultaneous accumulation of multiple risk factors, interacting with each other, appears to have a more significant influence on the progression of periodontal disease.However, estrogen deficiency or osteoporotic conditions may exacerbate periodontal disease and increase the likelihood of recurrence after treatment. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> It is the responsibility of the dental surgeon to assess each patient individually, using clinical and radiographic data, supported by scientific knowledge, to provide appropriate therapeutic resources for managing periodontal diseases during the climacteric phase.</em></p>2025-03-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1788Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for ADHD in children: a review2024-12-30T03:29:48+01:00Artur Rodrigues de Oliveira Camposarturroc@unipam.edu.brElcio Moreira Alveselciomoreira@unipam.edu.brJuliana Lilis da Silvajuliana@unipam.edu.brNatália de Fátima Gonçalves Amâncionataliafga@unipam.edu.br<p><em>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder in children, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This study reviewed pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, documenting their characteristics, benefits, and limitations. The research consisted of an integrative literature review with 21 studies published between 2020 and 2024, obtained from databases such as PubMed, SciELO, and BVS. Pharmacological treatments, mainly stimulants like methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine, showed effectiveness in reducing symptoms but presented side effects, such as insomnia and appetite loss, as well as possible long-term impacts on brain development. Among non-pharmacological therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) stood out for improving emotional and organizational control. Music therapy and art therapy facilitated emotional expression and social interaction, while dietary therapy emphasized the role of nutrients such as omega-3, iron, and zinc, along with the reduction of sugars and artificial colorings. Physical activities, such as swimming, were associated with improvements in attention and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback proved promising despite methodological challenges and low clinical acceptance. It is concluded that the integrated use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches presents a promising model for managing ADHD, especially in mild to moderate cases, promoting quality of life for patients and their families. However, more robust comparative studies are needed to evaluate the relative effectiveness of each method.</em></p>2025-01-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1826Nurses' role in pre- and post-operative care for bariatric surgery patients: an integrative review2025-01-18T19:33:21+01:00Nayara Lucia do Nascimentonayaralucia@gmail.comElane da Silva Barbosaelanesilvabarbosa@hotmail.comHelder Matheus Alves Fernandeshelder.fernandes@aluno.uece.brMárcia Jaínne Campelo Chavesjainne.campelo@hotmail.comÉllen Nayane Beserra Torresellen.torres@fvj.brAlrivânia Moura Guimarãesalrivaniam@gmail.comVitória Yasmin Lopes Soaresenfa.vitorialopes@gmail.com<p><em>Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective way of treating morbid obesity in the short and long term.

Predisposing factors for its development include exposure to chemicals, radiation, genetic factors, viral etiology, smoking, and alcohol consumption. The complexity and biological and morphological diversity of SGC contribute to challenges in diagnosis, classification, and treatment. This study aims to evaluate the temporal trends and associated factors of SGC in the Northeast region of Brazil from 2014 to 2023, considering age groups and gender. This is a quantitative, exploratory, and analytical ecological time-series study conducted with data collected from 2014 to 2023 on SGC in the Northeast of Brazil. Data were extracted from the oncology panel of TabNet, from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). The selected variables were sex and age group. The Joinpoint regression model was adopted to calculate temporal trends. Poisson Regression was used to verify the factors associated with gender and age groups, evaluating the influence of these variables on SGC. Data analysis revealed a significant increase in the prevalence of SGC between 2014 and 2019 (APC=31.14; p=0.02), followed by stabilization from 2020 (p=0.88). No significant influence of gender was identified in the progression of SGC (p=0.90). The age group analysis revealed a significant increase (p < 0.001) in SGC diagnosis in individuals aged 20 to 39 years (PR=2.954; 95% CI=1.90 - 4.77), 40 to 59 years (PR=5.470; 95% CI=3.646 - 8.62), and 60 years or older (PR=6.410; 95% CI=4.296 - 10.06), compared to the reference age group (0 to 19 years). There was a significant increase in the incidence of SGC from 2014 to 2019, followed by a stationary period from 2020 to 2023.

Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the knowledge of the nursing team at a maternal and child referral hospital regarding care in pediatric CPR.<br />To this end, a cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study was carried out through the access of a structured pre-test questionnaire. This questionnaire sought to investigate the knowledge of the hospital's nursing professionals about care in pediatric CPR during the offering of a Nursing Course on Pediatric Emergencies, which occurred in January 2024.<br />Thus, it is observed that there were 58 participants, distributed among nurses and nursing technicians/aides. There was no statistically significant difference between the responses of higher and technical professional; professionals working in the pediatric ICU and neonatal ICU answered more questions correct than those from sectors such as wards and PS; professionals with specialization have more knowledge on the topic. Furthermore, in most responses with p-value analysis, a value lower than 0.05 was obtained, which allows us to conclude that the knowledge of professionals in this area is statistically insuficiente.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong>knowledge.

Approximately 10 million new cases and 1 million deaths are reported worldwide every year, and is therefore considered a major public health problem worldwide. In view of this, this study seeks to highlight how stigma and prejudice related to tuberculosis affect the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as to describe strategies to address these paradigms. A review of the literature was carried out and, after using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 articles were selected to compose this production. The stigmatization surrounding TB is generally related to the exaggerated concept of contagiousness and fear of infection. Therefore, due to the lack of information and understanding, people end up having false conclusions that TB is an incurable and highly contagious disease throughout the treatment course. However, to combat this social stigma and prejudice, it is necessary to promote health education, with the aim of creating means to demystify the stigma related to tuberculosis and promote strategies to encourage patients with the disease to start treatment and, mainly, to follow the treatment correctly, a fact that is crucial for the control and cure of the disease.</em></p>2025-02-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2031Civil liability of airlines for the death of animals during transportation: the urgent need to improve the legal protection of companion animals2025-04-24T02:36:56+02:00Fabiana Thays Santos Silvafabianathays1@gmail.comVanuza Pires da Costavanuzapires.adv@gmail.com<p><em>The air transport of companion animals in Brazil is governed by regulations issued by ANAC, as well as by the Consumer Protection Code and the Civil Code, which impose strict liability on airlines as service providers.

A total of 314 university students participated in this study, responding to the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), as well as completing sociodemographic questionnaires. For data analysis, descriptive and frequency analyses, correlation analyses, and hierarchical regression for analysis of multiple outcomes were performed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 25. The results revealed that severe levels of the impostor phenomenon (39.6%) and mild levels of depressive symptoms (27.3%) were prevalent in the sample, with a significant positive correlation between the two constructs. Regarding sociodemographic variables, it was found that males show higher levels of depressive symptoms in the presence of the Impostor Phenomenon. Therefore, it was found that feelings of impostorism and depressive symptoms are prevalent among college students, with the impostor phenomenon serving as a significant predictor of depression, especially in males.</em></p>2025-04-07T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1782Prevention of orthopedic pathologies through a healthy lifestyle in women: a scoping review for the period 2014-20232024-12-26T16:07:01+01:00Alice Beatriz Tomaz Tavaresalice.beatriz@discente.ufma.brBeatriz Mota Morenobeatriz.moreno@discente.ufma.brStefanny Rafaelly Freitas Garciastefanny.freitas@discente.ufma.brWilliam Neto Prasereswilliam.praseres@discente.ufma.brSueli de Souza Costasueli.costa@ufma.br<p><strong>INTRODUCTION: </strong>Orthopedic pathologies can be characterized as injuries, fractures, inflammations, infections and metabolic disorders that cause loss of bone mass, pain, stiffness or weakness in bones, muscles and joints, being more present in females. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of such conditions, it is necessary for women to reinforce vitamin and mineral intake, through diet and pharmaceutical supplementation, in addition to establishing an exercise routine to strengthen the locomotor system. <strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> to understand the influence of a healthy lifestyle on the prevention of orthopedic pathologies in women. <strong>METHODOLOGY:</strong> this is a scoping literature review with articles published between 2014 and 2023 in the SCIELO, PUBMED and LILACS databases. Combined descriptors were used in Portuguese and English, such as (“Doenças Ósseas”) AND (“Mulheres”) AND (“Prevenção”) and (“Bone Diseases”) AND (“Women”) AND (“Prevention”).<strong> RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: </strong>12 studies were selected to compose this review. It was observed that dietary habits, especially total fat intake, protein consumption and the individual's BMI level, can be associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) levels. Furthermore, there was a divergence regarding the influence of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on the macro and microstructure of the female locomotor system. In addition, the adoption of a high or low intensity exercise routine by women is also a determinant of their bone-muscular-joint health. Regarding the other variables of the BMD indexes, the presence of the woman's endocrine profile and her adiposity were observed. <strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> A healthy lifestyle, consisting of a balanced diet with high protein intake, low fat intake, and regular physical exercise, of low to high intensity, can positively influence the prevention of orthopedic diseases in women, such as osteoporosis, sarcopeia, and joint diseases. Such lifestyle habits act especially in strengthening the macro and microstructure of bone and joints, helping to resist daily wear and tear. The relationship between vitamin and mineral supplementation and bone well-being is inconclusive, and additional studies are needed to obtain more information on this topic.</p>2025-01-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2027Urogynecological physiotherapy for strengthening the pelvic floor: Prevention and rehabilitation of urinary incontinence in patients with multiple sclerosis2025-04-22T01:46:14+02:00Janacy Santos da Silvasjanacy@gmail.comRailane Santos Vieiralanysv@hotmail.comTalita da Silva Livramento Souzaenftalitasouza@outlook.comMariza Alves Ferreiramarizaalfer@gmail.com<p><em>Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS). Lesions can occur in various regions, leading to diverse symptoms, including visual, motor, sensory, and urinary problems. Physiotherapy plays a key role in improving aerobic capacity, functional independence, fatigue resistance, muscle strength, gait speed, proprioceptive sensitivity, balance, and reducing spasticity. The objective of this study is to guide physiotherapy toward techniques capable of alleviating lower urinary tract symptoms in individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis associated with urinary incontinence, and to highlight physiotherapeutic treatment as an essential and innovative tool—not only in symptom management but also in promoting patient autonomy and social reintegration. The search for publications from the current decade (2014–2024) was conducted using Health Science Descriptors (DeCS) with the terms: “urinary incontinence” AND “multiple sclerosis” AND “physiotherapy”, combined according to the specificities of each consulted database. The databases included the BVS Regional Portal (Virtual Health Library), PubMed (developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI), and the PEDro Platform (Physiotherapy Evidence Database).The importance of urogynecological physiotherapy in managing urinary symptoms in MS patients is well-supported by evidence, particularly when combined with pelvic floor muscle training, electrotherapy, and posterior tibial nerve stimulation. The integration of new technologies and innovative approaches, such as guided rehabilitation and neural stimulation, can expand therapeutic options and improve treatment adherence. Personalized treatment, tailored to individual patient needs, is crucial for maximizing clinical outcomes.</em></p>2025-04-26T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1802The therapeutic use of cannabis sativa l. as a treatment option for orofacial pain and disorders caused in the temporomandibular joint2025-01-10T10:23:30+01:00Mateus Sousa Ferreiramateus0992014@hotmail.comDaniele Machado da Silveiradanielemspedrosa@gmail.com<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Cannabis sativa L. is a plant rich in several cannabinoids, many of which have significant therapeutic properties. Among these compounds, cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) stand out, which have shown potential in several treatments. In the field of dentistry, the adequate and supported use of these cannabinoids can be incorporated into the pharmacological routine for pain management, providing relief and substantial benefits to patients suffering from orofacial pain and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). In view of this, this study aims, through a literature review, to highlight the importance of Cannabis sativa-based medications in the relief of orofacial pain during dental treatments. Studies show that the use of medicinal Cannabis, especially CBD and THC, has shown to be a promising alternative for the treatment of chronic orofacial pain, due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is important to note that this plant is extremely diverse, containing more than 500 components, among which cannabinol (CBN) and cannabigerol (CBG) also stand out, both recognized for their great therapeutic potential, which indicates their application in various treatments. It is worth mentioning that the combination of CBD with THC enhances the effect of the drugs (CBD, CBG and CBN), resulting in a more efficient and targeted treatment, reducing the harmful effects when compared to the use of THC alone. Therefore, dentists must be aware of the dosage and the correct therapeutic indication, considering factors such as the individuality of the patient, the duration and intensity of the pain, and the interaction of Cannabis with other medications used in dental treatment. Furthermore, it is essential that the professional evaluates the therapeutic efficacy and is aware of possible adverse effects. It is known that the management of orofacial pain is one of the most common challenges faced in dental practice, and the use of Cannabis sativa appears to be an effective approach that can complement or enhance conventional treatments, or even replace them in certain cases. However, despite the promising results, further studies are still needed to ensure the safety of long-term use, in addition to investigating possible adverse effects and drug interactions with other drugs. Mastering this knowledge by the dentist is essential for safe and effective clinical application.</em></p>2025-01-14T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1842Oncology and Gender: Analysis of the Sociodemographic Profile of Women with Cancer Treated at HRAN2025-01-28T01:57:07+01:00Loara Ferreira Cavalcanteloara.unb@gmail.comCamila Guimarães Torresctorres.camila@gmail.comGeovana Amaral de Oliveirageovanaamaral19@gmail.com<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article examines the sociodemographic profile of 367 women with cancer treated at the Hospital Regional da Asa Norte (HRAN) in Brasília between 2019 and 2023.

The process of illness comes with changes that impact the daily lives of patients and their families, affecting social, psychological, and physical aspects, making it necessary to have multidisciplinary support. From this, the role of the Social Worker emerges, aiming to provide socio-economic support and guarantee of rights in response to the changes occurring throughout the health/disease process. Concurrently, the theme of health education activities is addressed, used as an approach to facilitate understanding of the context in which the patient is inserted, enabling the process of raising awareness towards emancipation and social transformation. Thus, the present article aims to analyze scientific productions related to Health Education Activities within the Social Work profession in the context of Nephrology. A systematic literature review methodology was used, finding 10 productions. The quantity indicates a deficit in academic work on the topic. Therefore, the research intends to highlight the role of the social worker and health education activities carried out by this professional category.

At the hospital, the pharmacist provides pharmaceutical care by identifying the problem and producing Pharmaceutical Interventions (PI) to enhance treatments. OBJECTIVE: Describe the pharmaceutical experience through PI analyses and correlate variables to observe aspects of causality, tendencies, dependence, or impact. METHOD: The research employed secondary databases from “Diretoria de Assistência Farmacêutica” (DIASF) with PI registered between 2019 and 2023, at a reference hospital. The PI were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation, applying Pearson’s chi-squared test and evaluating p < 0.05 as statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 778 PI were analyzed, showing an increase of more than 50% in the number of interventions between 2020 and 2021. The age distribution was 45 to 80 years (Ward A) and 75 to 90 years (Ward C). The medical team was the most contacted and the drugs most involved with PI were: morphine, haloperidol, and domperidone.

When created, the profession had a conservative bias, linked to religious precepts, whose actions were seen as favor or charity. Although the social worker is a liberal professional enrolled in the social and technical division of work, this external difficulty in understanding professional work can compromise comprehensive care for SUS users.</em> <em>Objective: This study proposed to investigate social workers' perception of the multidisciplinary team's knowledge regarding their duties. Method: Research was carried out using an online questionnaire with statutory social workers who work in a hospital in Brasília and a review of literature related to the topic. Results: Based on the data collected, it was evident that social workers consider there to be significant challenges in exercising their profession. These challenges are linked to integration with multidisciplinary teams and the recognition of their responsibilities, in addition to pointing out the referral of inappropriate demands and the need for communication strategies in the hospital environment. Conclusion: The research demonstrated the need to value the role of the social worker, overcoming demotivation caused by lack of knowledge of their duties. Promoting mutual respect between categories and clarifying roles is essential to reduce undue demands and strengthen interdisciplinarity. Improving communication, collaborative work and professional development policies are fundamental to integrating social dimensions into health care and improving service in the SUS.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p>2025-01-24T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1863Assessment of Noise-induced Temporary Threshold Shift in Dentistry Students Following Oral Magnesium Intake2025-02-04T10:45:41+01:00Isabelle Braz de Oliveira Silvabraz.isabelle@gmail.comSérgio Luiz Garavellisergio.garavelli@gmail.comLucieny Silva Martins Serralucienymserra@gmail.comJuliana Gusmão de Araújojgusmaoaraujo@gmail.comAndré Luiz Lopes Sampaioandremarjy@uol.com.br<p>Long‐term exposure to sounds ≥85 dB causes noise-induced hearing loss, which can be temporary or permanent, and it can be improved through the use of magnesium. This study aimed to determine whether noise in the dental laboratory negatively affects dental students’ auditory system and whether magnesium ion supplementation prevents hearing loss. Sound pressure levels (SPLs) were monitored during the laboratory class and expressed in logarithmic function. Students attending regular dental practical classes were randomized into two groups: the study group (received 200 mg of magnesium 1 h before the laboratory class) and the control group (received 200 mg placebo at the same time). Distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) tests were performed before and after noise exposure during the class. The mean SPL equivalent was 75.3 dB; however, SPL peaked at 97.3 dB. DPOAE parameters did not change after approximately 3 h of exposure. There were no significant differences between the groups in all the frequencies studied for the amplitude (p=0.82) and S/N ratio (p=0.08) analyses. A single magnesium supplementation did not produce any side effects; however, no benefit was observed in hearing preservation.

The relationship between hypertension and CAD involves mechanisms such as increased atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, damage to the heart and vessels, and arterial stiffness, which compromises coronary perfusion. This contribution highlights the need for strict blood pressure control in high-risk patients. Therapeutic strategies include beta-blockers, statins, antiplatelet therapy, and lifestyle changes, enhanced by mobile technologies that aid in monitoring and adherence. Procedures such as coronary bypass are indicated in advanced cases. Integrated management is essential to reduce the overall burden of CAD and improve cardiovascular outcomes. Studies such as SPRINT and STEP demonstrate that stricter blood pressure targets (<120 mmHg) significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in the elderly, while meta-analyses show that each 5 mmHg reduction in SBP reduces cardiovascular events by 10%. Blood pressure control prevents inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular remodeling, slowing the progression of atherosclerosis. However, economic and social barriers, especially in Latin America, hinder the adequate management of hypertension. Educational campaigns, access to medications, and public policies are crucial to overcoming these challenges, highlighting the need for strategies that integrate clinical control and socioeconomic support to reduce inequalities. Therefore, strict blood pressure control reduces cardiovascular risks, so a combination of pharmacological control, lifestyle changes, and inclusive public policies is necessary to reduce the global burden of cardiovascular diseases.</span></em></p>2025-01-11T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1836The profile of elderly people hospitalized in the internal medicine of a public hospital in federal district and the factors related to prolonged hospitalization2025-01-25T17:16:56+01:00Jéssyca Freitas Aguiarpsi.jessycaaguiar@gmail.comKarolina Alexia Rodrigues de Araújoaraujokarolinapsi@gmail.comLuíza Costa de Azevedoluizac.azevedo22@gmail.comMônica Eva Fontenele Vianapsimonicafontenele@gmail.comJúlia Borges de Limajuliaborgeslima@gmail.comMonique Guerreiro de Mouramoniquegdm@yahoo.com.br<p>Objective: To identify the sociodemographic and illness characteristics of elderly people hospitalized in the internal medicine of a public hospital in the Federal District, to report the reasons that lead them to be hospitalized and to describe which factors contribute to the prolonged hospitalization of these patients. Method: descriptive research using documentary analysis, with a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. Data collection took place retrospectively, and records from July to December 2023 were observed by transcribing information from the Electronic Patient Record (EPP). Bardin's Triangulation of Methods and Content Analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Four categories were delineated: electronic health record, sociodemographic aspects, reasons for hospitalization and factors related to prolonged hospitalization. Most of the patients were brown (65.63%), aged between 65 and 69, (53.75%). According to the data obtained, 388 reasons for hospitalization were recorded, with the main causes being genitourinary diseases (21.65%), respiratory diseases (17.53%), circulatory diseases (10.05%) and neoplasms (9.54%). It was found that (81.87%) of patients had Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) and 49.37% had Diabetes Mellitus (DM). In addition, (96.1%) of patients had a support network. The average length of hospital stay was 32.22 days and “21.24%” of hospitalizations resulted in death.

The study was carried out in the city of Recife, the collection initially came from the Specialized HIV/AIDS Care Service located at the Oswaldo Cruz Hospital, the research was carried out between the months of May and December 2021. The target population consisted of 35 women over the age of 18, who reported having sex only with women or with both women and men, and was conducted in accordance with the principles governing research involving human beings in Resolution 510/2016. In the study, 51.4% said they had encountered difficulties in relation to the health professionals who attended to them. 54.3% said they had told professionals about their sexuality and 82.9% said they had suffered prejudice because of their sexual orientation; 100% said they knew how HIV is transmitted and 51.4% said they prevented it. By analyzing the responses, it was possible to identify flaws in the care provided by health professionals, which give rise to misinformation, prejudice and the perpetuation of exclusion. In addition to points of weakness, which expose the discomfort, fear and fear of prejudice against the conduct of health professionals, they corroborate the risk of exposure to HIV in the face of erroneous beliefs about forms of prevention carried out by these women. </em></p>2025-01-03T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1854Adverse effects and safety of metamizole (dipirone): a review of the risks2025-02-02T13:58:56+01:00Emily Kessy Silva Souzaemilykessy@gmail.comMaria Arlete Nascimento de Andradearleteletinha35@gmail.comMarcos Daniel Seabra Santosmarcosdss_med@hotmail.comMônica Santos de Melo Seabramonicameloseabra@yahoo.comLaiza Santos Bianolay.za92@hotmail.comJessica Sarah Barroso Menesesjessicasarahbm@gmail.comFlávia Viana Moreiraviaeira12@gmail.comMarília Trindade de Santana Souzabiomari@hotmail.com<p><em>Metamizole, commonly called dipyrone, is a drug widely used to relieve pain and reduce fever in various parts of the world, and is especially used in clinical situations involving these symptoms.

In the hospitalization context, a correct, adequate, and complete nutritional apport is extremely important for optimization of treatment. In this context, this research aims to evaluate the nutritional adequacy of patients admitted to the Maternal and Child Hospital of Brasília who are on full enteral exclusive nutritional therapy<strong>. Methods: </strong>That’s a quantitative research in which the participants were patients between 0 and 14 years of age during the medical hospitalization and that were using an exclusive enteral feeding tube with the diet equal to the final nutritional goal planned. The data were taken from the electronic medical record and the prevalence of each micronutrient was calculated and for adequation was considered a percentage between 90% to 110%. This research was approved by the research ethics committee<strong>. Results: </strong>117 patients were chosen, most are male, between 0 to 6 months, and have the principal hospitalization diagnostic of a respiratory disease. The prevalence of adequacy of micronutrients shows that sodium and potassium are nutrients with lower adequacy, vitamin A is the most adequate, and the upper limit recommended for some nutrients was surpassed.<strong> Conclusion: </strong>This research showed that dietary recommendations for micronutrients are not completely respected for pediatric patients who are on full enteral exclusive nutritional therapy with the diet equal to the final nutritional goal planned. This intake out of references to micronutrients may be posing health risks for this group and this demonstrates the need to investigate the cause and the consequence of this intaking profile. To transform this, a law revision is necessary, supported by more studies and researches about the micronutrients adequation in the pediatric context, finding to establish the Brazilian child’s micronutrients recommendations.</p>2025-01-04T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1795Rural Lease and Partnership Agreements: Accounting and Legal Aspects2025-01-04T18:22:49+01:00João Henrique Gonçalvesjoaohenriquemeneses@gmail.comJosé Fernando Bezerra Mirandajose.fb@unitins.brBeatriz Cilene Mafra Neves Bigelibcmafra34@gmail.com<p><em>Rural lease and partnership agreements play a fundamental role in structuring Brazil’s agribusiness, providing access to land and enabling agricultural production.

Based on a literal interpretation of biblical passages such as Acts 15:29 and Leviticus 17:10-14, this practice raises ethical, legal, and social implications, especially in medical contexts where blood transfusions are often essential to saving lives. This study analyzes the ethical and legal aspects of this refusal, focusing on the relationship between religious freedom, individual autonomy, and the right to health. Methodology: The research was conducted through a narrative literature review, addressing scientific articles and jurisprudence from the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). Results: During the search, 248 articles were found, of which 16 were selected, along with relevant jurisprudence. Discussion: The refusal of blood transfusion, supported by biblical interpretations, represents an ethical dilemma, especially in life-threatening situations, when the rights to autonomy and health conflict. The analysis revealed that Jehovah's Witnesses base their refusal on passages that prohibit the consumption of blood. The study also discussed Brazilian jurisprudence, which has prioritized the preservation of life, often to the detriment of religious freedom, as shown in decisions authorizing transfusions against the patient's will. The recent decision by the STF, recognizing the right of adult and capable Jehovah's Witnesses to refuse transfusions with viable alternatives, marks progress in protecting religious autonomy. However, for minors, the principle of the best interest of health prevails. Conclusion: It is concluded that, despite legislative progress, it is necessary to balance the protection of religious freedom with the preservation of health and life, ensuring viable medical alternatives.</p>2025-01-08T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1803Incidence of malaria in the legal amazon: a descriptive ecological study from 2012 to 20222025-01-10T23:42:54+01:00Amanda Edwards Borbaamandaedwards@hotmail.com.brBruna Nayara Cabral Aguiarbruna.jessbruno@gmail.comEverlândja Gomes de Almeidaeverlandjagomes@gmail.comJulia Miatello Lagrimantejuliamieteli@hotmail.comNadia Alves Aquinonadia.aquino02@gmail.comFabiana Mânica Martinsfabianamanica@ufam.edu.brLuís Paulo Souza e Souzaluispauloss12@gmail.comRonilson Ferreira Freitasronifreitas@ufam.edu.brNely Cristina Medeiros Cairesnelycaires@gmail.com<p><strong><em>INTRODUCTION:</em></strong><em> Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the parasite of the genus Plasmodium, transmitted to humans through the bite of the mosquito of the genus Anopheles (“nail mosquito”).

Despite the National Policy for the Comprehensive Health of the Black Population, its implementation remains insufficient in the face of challenges posed by structural and institutional racism. The Black population experiences the worst socioeconomic and health indicators, compounded by discriminatory practices within healthcare services.<strong> Methodology: </strong>The research was conducted through a literature review of publications from 2009 to 2023, using descriptors related to the health of the Black population and institutional racism. Initially, 23 articles were selected, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 were included in the study. <strong>Results and Discussion:</strong> The findings indicate that institutional racism manifests through discriminatory attitudes, neglect, and barriers to accessing healthcare services. These practices perpetuate inequalities, negatively impacting the health of the Black population, with psychosocial consequences such as mental suffering and exclusion. Cases of obstetric violence and challenges in reproductive care against Black women were highlighted, exposing the SUS’s inability to uphold its principles of equity and comprehensiveness. Strengthening public policies, monitoring specific health indicators, and professional training are essential to address these inequalities and promote anti-racist practices.<strong> Conclusion: </strong>The assessment of disparities indicates that structural and institutional racism remains a significant obstacle to the realization of SUS principles. Therefore, overcoming these challenges requires improved health indicator monitoring, enhanced professional training, and the implementation of more effective initiatives to combat racism.</em></p>2025-01-10T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1805The importance of primary care in medical education: an experience report at the UBS Vila da Prata, Manaus2025-01-11T00:25:06+01:00Eduarda Pereira Martinseduarda.martins2e9@gmail.comAnna Kássia Guimarães de Mesquitaannakassiaguimaraes@gmail.comAnna Rafaella Guimarães de Mesquitaannarafaellaguimaraes@gmail.comJosé Eduardo Pará Nuneseduardo.para@ufam.edu.brCamila Eduarda Câmara Maiacecmaia2005@gmail.comAna Carolina Fonseca de Araújoanacarolinafonsecadearaujo@gmail.comMaria Clara Loiola de Liraclaramarialoiola@gmail.comLuana Violeta Rodrigues de Matosluana.violeta08@gmail.comJulia Evan Mendes Perezjuliaevanperez@gmail.comFabiana Mânica Martinsfabianamanica@ufam.edu.brThaís Tibery Espirthaistibery@ufam.edu.br<p><em>This article describes practical experiences at the Vila da Prata Basic Health Unit (UBS) in Manaus, part of the "Collective Health III" course in the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) Medical School.

It operates in the capacity building and empowerment of the community, mainly through health education practices, with the aim of mitigating social vulnerabilities and improving the quality of life and health of the population. Thus, particularly in maternal and child health care, health promotion and care initiatives during prenatal care in PHC contribute to ensuring that pregnant women receive quality care practices, with a welcoming approach and comprehensive care for both mother and baby. Therefore, the objective of this report is to describe the health promotion practices, with a focus on health education, experienced within the context of an extension project in PHC aimed at women in the pregnancy and postpartum period, both indigenous and non-indigenous. This is a qualitative work in the form of an experience report, carried out between June and September 2024, in the health spaces of the family health units (FHU) within the PHC territories of the Tarumã-Açu neighborhood in the city of Manaus, Amazonas. The meetings addressed relevant topics for the gestational period as well as the postpartum period, such as clinical signs of labor, quality of mental health during pregnancy, oral hygiene education, and the need for healthy nutrition. Beyond that, these were also spaces for each pregnant woman to share and discuss their experiences with others, creating a protected and supportive environment for the mothers. Therefore, the health promotion activities highlighted the importance of the integration between education, services, and the community, and showed the positive effects of the meetings with pregnant women, as they brought them closer to the health team and academic members, strengthening the bond and contributing to the autonomy of these women in their care process during pregnancy.</em></p>2025-01-10T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1811Indigenous Medicine, Decolonization, Tukano People and Bahsesse: a narrative2025-01-11T02:00:33+01:00Edson César dos Santos Seixasedsoncesarseixas@gmail.comAlexandra de Paula Oliveiraoliveiralexandra42@gmail.comLuisa Joaquina Rocha Limaluisajoaquinalima@hotmail.comDanielly Modesto de Souzadanielly.dms18@gmail.comRaniele Alana Lima Alveslanahlima93@gmail.comFabiana Mânica Martinsfabianamanica@ufam.edu.br<p><em>This study aims to investigate the work of Pajés and Benzedores, indigenous healing specialists, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 in the city of Manaus, home to the greatest diversity of indigenous peoples in Brazil.

In this perspective, this work aims to report the experience lived during the Public Health III discipline at UBS Lúcio Flávio de Vasconcelos Dias. This is an experience report of the practices of the “Public Health III” discipline of the Medicine course at UFAM, which took place in the period of 2024.2 at UBS Lúcio Flávio de Vasconcelos Dias in the city of Manaus/AM, based on the systematic observation of reality. A rotating model was adopted to monitor the unit's sectors, in which a micropolitical project was built with the aim of recognizing the needs of the local community and intervening, in a creative way, to alleviate the health problems found in that territory. Furthermore, the importance of the territorial map for PHC was addressed, which gathers information from the micro-regions of the Family Health Strategy Team for an analysis of the living and health conditions of the different population groups present in the territory. Finally, as a way of evaluating the learning from the practice, the creation of an individual cartographic diary for the group members was proposed. During the practices, the students were able to understand how the unit works, as well as observe the relationship between the professionals and the community. The students' experiences highlighted the importance of PHC as an essential axis of the SUS.

Observational studies have shown some benefit of using double-carbapenem therapy in treatment of severe infections, especially those caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. A survey was conducted on the profile of double-carbapenem use in the ICU of a public hospital in the Federal District through retrospective data collection from the medical records of 72 critically ill adult patients who had used a double-carbapenem therapeutic regimen for at least 48 hours between March 2021 and February 2023. The average age was 54 years, with respiratory diseases, notably acute respiratory failure from COVID-19, being the main reason for hospitalization. The start of treatment was mostly empirical (81.94%), and the majority of patients (61.11%) had at least one positive culture result during their hospitalization in the ICU, with an average stay of 29.4 days. Among the cultures that led to double-carbapenem use, there was a predominance of the identification of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria. Almost all patients received an increased dose of meropenem in extended infusion, associated with ertapenem with optimized scheduling. There were 37 (51.39%) deaths, and it was not possible to establish a relationship with the treatment.

Freedom of expression, recognized as a fundamental right and a pillar of democracy, faces limitations when it conflicts with values such as human dignity and the protection of public order. In this scenario, the STF plays a central role in interpreting conflicts between the right to freedom of expression and the need for accountability for abusive manifestations, especially in cases involving the proliferation of disinformation and hate speech. The general objective of this study is to analyze how the STF has balanced these fundamental rights. The research adopts a qualitative, exploratory, and theoretical approach, based on the hypothetical-deductive method. It relies on a bibliographic review of authors such as Schauer (1982) and Dworkin (1996), as well as jurisprudential analysis of landmark cases such as ADPF 130, RE 1010606, and Inquiry 4781. The results reveal that the STF takes a dynamic stance, using the principle of proportionality to weigh conflicting values. Decisions such as the declaration of unconstitutionality of the Press Law in ADPF 130 reinforce the prohibition of prior censorship, while post-expression accountability, as in RE 1010606, highlights the protection of historical memory and collective interests. In Inquiry 4781, the STF demonstrates judicial activism in addressing digital disinformation, holding actors and platforms accountable for illicit practices. The study concludes that the STF has sought to consolidate a balance between freedom of expression and combating disinformation, aligning itself with contemporary theories of law and political philosophy. However, its activist stance in certain cases raises debates about the limits of its role and the impacts on legal certainty and digital governance in Brazil.</em></p>2025-01-31T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1851Sexual violence against children: pregnancy and acess to legal abortion in the Distrito Federal2025-01-31T13:48:05+01:00Larissa Vitória Maciel Montelarissavit.maciel@gmail.comAlexandra de Souza Trivelinotrivelino@yahoo.com.brLígia Maria Carlos Aguiarligia9maria@gmail.com<p><em>This study analyzed the access of pregnant children to the Pregnancy Interruption Program Predicted by Law (PIGL) of the Federal District in the period from 2021 to 2023.

The film's plot revolves around an ant colony that engages in a battle against grasshoppers who seek to exploit resources by using the ants as slave labor. The resolution of this conflict is achieved through the unity and intraspecific relationships among the ants, as well as interspecific interactions with other insects, ultimately defeating the grasshoppers and restoring freedom and harmony within the colony. In this context, the film presents scenes with significant potential for the discussion and exploration of ecological topics, particularly concerning community ecological relationships, both positive and negative, and it also allows for discussions on biological conservation, taxonomy, and zoology. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative in nature, involving a documentary analysis based on articles and studies sourced from national directories such as Google Scholar and EduCAPES, as well as specialized literature. The results indicate that "A Bug's Life" features scenes with substantial educational potential, making it an effective tool for stimulating and facilitating the learning of ecological concepts and other areas of Biology in high school education.

Final considerations: it is identified that the humanized provision of care to people with iatrophobia involves understanding the biopsychosocial aspects of the condition, followed by a reorientation in care praxis with a view to overcoming its triggering stimuli.</em></p>2025-02-05T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1872Family conferences in palliative care: a communication tool for breaking bad news in a hospice setting in the Federal District2025-02-06T12:47:45+01:00Sara Fabrício dos Santossara2fabricio@gmail.comSarah Luiza Ferreira Lopes de Azevedosahazevedo02@gmail.comLiana Tormin Mollolik2525@yahoo.com.brSilvia Maria Gonçalves Coutinhocoutinho.silvia@gmail.comJamila Trevizan Teixeirasscp.hab@gmail.com<p><strong><em>Introduction:</em></strong><em> Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with life-threatening illnesses through a multidimensional approach that includes physical, social, psychological, and spiritual aspects. This practice requires multidisciplinary teams and adaptation to different care settings, such as general hospitals, specialized outpatient clinics, home care, and specialized units such as hospices. In this context, communication, especially during family conferences, is essential for aligning expectations, clarifying doubts, and providing emotional support. <strong>Objective:</strong> To understand the impact of communication between family, patient, and healthcare team during family conferences in the context of palliative care in a hospice in the Federal District, analyzing its influence on diagnostic and prognostic understanding and categorizing its application in a specialized healthcare unit. <strong>Method:</strong> This is a qualitative study based on the analysis of medical records of patients admitted to the Hospital de Apoio de Brasília between March 2023 and September 2023, in which at least one family conference was conducted during this period. <strong>Results</strong>: A total of 40 medical records were analyzed. Among them, 52.5% belonged to male patients; 75% of the conferences were held to communicate bad news related to prognosis or the active dying process; 27.5% aimed at patient discharge planning; 30% were conducted for mediating family conflicts, and 10% were focused on managing the silence barrier between family members and patients. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Our research highlights the importance of effective communication with patients and their families, often carried out during family conferences, to promote the humanization of care, empower both the patient and their family, and facilitate decision-making processes. We emphasize the significance of continuous professional training in delivering bad news to ensure effective communication.</em></p>2025-02-06T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1873The Importance of Pricing Formation for Individual Micro-Entrepreneurs in Balsas-MA2025-02-06T14:33:26+01:00Ana Caroline Dias da Silvacarolldiaas10@gmail.comBruna Gomes Cardozobrunagc3@gmail.comCarla Rayane Calvacante Costacarla2583@icloud.comErika Nayara Ramos de Oliveirarerikanayara@gmail.comGuilherme Barros de Oliveiraguilhermebo1328@gmail.comKayllane Bastos dos Santosbskaylane7@gmail.comLucas Fonseca da Silvalucasfonseca9645@gmail.comMarcus Alexander Pereira da Fonsecamarcusalexander.fonseca@gmail.comZandoneide Muniz da Costaneidemuniz.c@gmail.comWesllânnia de Morais Silvawesllannia66@gmail.com<p><em>This article explores the importance of pricing formation as a crucial element for the success of businesses, especially individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs) in Balsas-MA.

The aim of this research is to understand how the representations chosen by students throughout activities contribute to learning. Students employ different forms of representation to facilitate the understanding and exploration of mathematical object registers. The processes involving the universe of representations do not emerge as definitive answers to all desired discoveries but function as a map constructed from logical clues. Within the framework of the Theory of Semiotic Representation Registers (TSRR), signs are not limited to means of signification or reference to an object; they act as instruments of thought, understanding, reasoning, and learning. From this perspective, certain tasks are directly related to cognition in mathematical activity. The methodology adopted was based on a Literature Review process. The analyzed studies indicate that TSRR can assist in understanding the visualization of a mathematical object, that is, how it is perceived, identified, associated, interpreted, and conceptualized.

Pulmonary resection, although effective, can impact respiratory function, making pulmonary function evaluation and rehabilitation essential to prevent complications and improve patients' quality of life.<strong>Methodology:</strong> A search was conducted in PubMed using the terms "pulmonary function test," "lung cancer," "surgical," and "rehabilitation" to identify studies on pulmonary function in lung cancer patients undergoing pulmonary resection, with no restrictions on publication period or language.<strong>Discussion:</strong> Pulmonary resection in lung cancer patients can reduce respiratory function, particularly after lobectomies, with decreases in parameters such as FEV1 and FVC, affecting quality of life and increasing fatigue. Pulmonary recovery occurs gradually and rarely returns to baseline levels. Preoperative evaluation of pulmonary function is crucial for selecting at-risk patients, with tests like spirometry and DLCO helping to plan surgery. Alternatives such as segmentectomy and minimally invasive techniques have shown better results in preserving pulmonary function. Pulmonary rehabilitation, both pre- and post-operatively, improves recovery, reduces complications, and provides significant physical and emotional benefits.<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally, and pulmonary resection, while common, impacts respiratory function in patients. Pulmonary function evaluation, such as spirometry and DLCO, is essential for identifying risks and guiding treatment. Pulmonary rehabilitation has shown benefits in reducing complications and improving functional capacity.

The main objective was to investigate the relevance of playfulness in the teaching-learning process, highlighting the difficulties and benefits associated with its application in the school curriculum. The research is justified by the need to compensate for teaching methodologies in the initial years, valuing play as an effective pedagogical approach. The methodology adopted was a quantitative-qualitative approach, using action research, with the application of questionnaires and participant observation in the classroom. The research was carried out at the Padre Edmilson de Sousa Freire Integrated Unit, in Buriticupu-MA, with the participation of 19 students and one teacher. The results indicated that recreational activities, when incorporated into the curriculum, increase student performance, favoring the learning of content such as mathematics, in addition to promoting greater socialization and emotional development. However, barriers were also identified, such as the lack of resources and the resistance of some students to participation, factors that need to be overcome to fully implement these practices.

Active methodologies emerge as a creative approach that places the student’s at the center of the learning process. Transforming the student's role from a passive receiver to an active and participatory agent within this process, in which the teacher must act as a mediator and facilitator of learning. The use of playfulness emerges as a significant strategy to engage students to actively participate in the construction and re-signification of their academic and social knowledge. Playfulness makes learning more attractive and contributes to the construction of knowledge in a pleasant and meaningful way. Playfulness is essential for the cognitive, social, and psychomotor development of children, as the playful approach promotes creativity, interaction, and socialization among students. Early childhood education should be fun and stimulating to provide meaningful learning. In other words, within active methodologies, playfulness is essential to stimulate motivation, interaction, and facilitate learning. Moreover, games can be applied practically in different areas of experience. Playfulness consists of activities such as games, playful activities, music, and stories, in which educational games, problem-solving, and case studies can be significant strategies in the teaching-learning process.

Beyond weight reduction, it is essential to adopt strategies that modify behaviors. The transtheoretical model, by assessing the stages of behavior change, is effective in encouraging healthy habits. In this context, the Revised Diet Quality Index (IQD-R) helps to monitor dietary evolution and guide effective interventions for weight loss and maintenance.<strong>Objectives:</strong> To evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary obesity treatment on the motivation stage and dietary behavior change in patients enrolled in a therapeutic treatment program within the secondary healthcare system of the Federal District.<strong>Methods:</strong> This is a qualitative-quantitative, descriptive, retrospective, and longitudinal study that analyzed the medical records of 35 adult and elderly patients. Data on anthropometry, a weight loss motivation questionnaire, and 24-hour dietary recalls were collected at the beginning of treatment, after six months, and after 12 months.<strong>Results and Discussion:</strong> The average weight loss was 4.37%. There was progression in the motivation stage, with an increase in the percentage of patients in the maintenance stage from 40% to 81.41%. The IQD-R indicated a reduction in inadequate diets from 20% to 11.1%, and an increase in those requiring dietary adjustments from 80% to 85.19%, demonstrating a transition in dietary quality. Additionally, protein intake increased from 0.61g/kg to 0.72g/kg, and fiber intake rose from 14.44g to 15.45g, while lipid intake decreased from 47.09g to 38.8g. However, these changes were not linear, with some regression observed in certain parameters at 12 months.<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Multidisciplinary treatment has a positive impact on dietary behavior and motivation.

These groups often face difficulties in accessing healthy foods and nutritional education. Food and Nutrition Education (EAN) has emerged as an important strategy to promote healthy habits, with a relevant impact on Primary Health Care (PHC). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an EAN program on the modification of eating habits and nutritional profile of individuals attended at the Basic Health Unit (UBS), in the Federal District. The research included 22 participants (15 elderly and 7 adults), who underwent collective EAN activities. Questionnaires were used to assess the socioeconomic profile, eating habits, nutritional status and motivation to change eating behavior. The results indicated that, before the intervention, most participants were overweight or obese. Following the program, there were small reductions in Body Mass Index (BMI), but no major changes. Participants demonstrated improvements in some dietary habits, such as increased consumption of fresh fruit, reduced meals eaten with electronic distractions, and increased number of meals per day. However, there was an increase in consumption of ultra-processed foods, such as hamburgers and sweets. In addition, progress was made in the stages of dietary behavior change, with a significant increase in the number of participants in the “action” stage. Despite limitations, such as the small sample size and short duration of the intervention, the study highlights the importance of EAN programs as effective tools for health promotion, especially for vulnerable groups.

Demographic, clinical, laboratory data, comorbidities, medications in use and length of hospital stay were collected. <strong>Results:</strong> During the study period, 44 (55%) patients presented hyponatremia. The length of hospital stay of patients admitted with hyponatremia (29.5 ± 29.7 days) was longer when compared to the length of hospital stay of patients admitted with eunatremia, who had a mean hospital stay of 20.8 days. No patient in the study died. Some type of treatment was proposed for 22 (50%) of the hyponatremic patients. At hospital discharge, 30 (37.5%) patients were hyponatremic. 20 (80%) of the 25 patients using diuretics had hyponatremia. 12 (70.5%) of the 17 patients using antidepressants had hyponatremia. Five (71.4%) of the seven patients diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure were hyponatremic patients. Four (80%) of the five patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis were hyponatremic. Four (80%) of the five patients diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease were hyponatremic. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder in patients hospitalized at HU-UFS, resulting in longer hospital stays and hospital readmissions. It is inferred that the use of diuretics, antidepressants and previous pathologies presented by patients such as Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Kidney Disease and Cirrhosis contribute to the onset of hyponatremia.</em></p>2025-02-17T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1906Analgesia and sedation in children admitted to hospital: an integrative review2025-02-17T18:26:39+01:00Luanna Araujo Feitozafeitozaluanna@gmail.comAna Beatriz Peres Sousaanabpsousa1@gmail.comAna Reis Sarmentoanareispreceptoria@gmail.comPriscila Rabelo Guimarãespriangel@gmail.comAlcidésio Sales de Souza Júnioralcidesiojr@gmail.com<p><em>Analgesia and sedation are crucial in the management of hospitalized children, especially during invasive and painful procedures.

In addition to their commercial functions, these markets are important for the cultural promotion and economic development of the regions in which they are located. In the tourism scenario, public markets stand out as attractions that boost economic flow, generating income through the consumption of visitors. This study aims to explore the impact of this consumption on public markets, both in Brazil and internationally, and how these dynamics manifest themselves in different cultural and economic contexts. Objective: The objective of this research is to evaluate the economic impact of public markets, focusing on the effects of consumption by residents and tourists in different regions of Brazil and the world. The study seeks to identify how these markets contribute to local economic development and the variables that influence this impact, considering regional and international differences. Method: The research adopted a scoping review methodology, which included the analysis of academic literature, economic reports and case studies published in the last fifteen years. The scoping review allowed mapping the evidence on the economic impact of public markets, considering the consumption dynamics of tourists and residents. Studies that addressed the relationship between public markets and economic development, the role of markets in the tourism sector, and the strategies used to maximize local economic benefits were included. Results: The results of the review indicate that public markets have a significant economic impact on local economies, especially in areas with high tourist activity. In Brazil, as in other parts of the world, these markets attract both residents and tourists, generating considerable revenues that benefit local traders and producers. Internationally, it has been observed that tourist consumption in public markets can serve as an engine for local economic growth, particularly in sectors such as food, crafts, and cultural tourism. However, the success of these markets depends on effective management, adequate infrastructure, and marketing strategies aimed at attracting both residents and tourists. Final Considerations: This study demonstrates that public markets are fundamental to the economic development of the regions in which they operate, acting as consumption hubs for residents and tourists. Comparative analysis between Brazil and other international contexts suggests that, although there are variations in practices and impacts, public markets have the potential to foster sustainable economic growth, as long as they are supported by appropriate public policies and management strategies that value both local culture and the visitor experience.</em></p>2025-03-06T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1933Cultural Aspects and Sustainability in Gastronomic Places: Analysis in Tourist Cities in Brazil and Europe2025-03-06T18:23:30+01:00Ana Cristina Linard Macêdomiloandrade@yahoo.com.brJakson Renner Rodrigues Soaresjakson.soares@udc.galXosé Manuel Santos Sollaxosemanuel.santos@usc.es<p><em>Introduction: Gastronomic tourism has emerged as an important aspect of cultural tourism, offering authentic experiences that reflect the identity and traditions of a region. In tourist cities, both in Brazil and in Europe, gastronomy plays a crucial role in promoting cultural aspects and implementing sustainable practices. The intersection between culture, sustainability and gastronomy is a field of study that deserves attention, as these dynamics can influence both cultural preservation and sustainable economic development in these regions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between cultural aspects and sustainability practices in gastronomic venues located in tourist cities in Brazil and Europe. The research seeks to identify how local gastronomy can serve as a vehicle for promoting culture and at the same time fostering sustainable practices, contributing to responsible tourism and the preservation of local resources. Method: To achieve this objective, a scoping review was conducted, which included the analysis of scientific articles, reports from international organizations and case studies published in the last ten years. The scoping review allows mapping the available evidence on the relationship between culture, sustainability and gastronomy in tourism contexts, offering a comprehensive view of the practices and strategies adopted in different regions. Inclusion criteria were established to ensure the relevance of the selected studies, considering aspects such as cultural representativeness, adoption of sustainable practices and impact on local tourism. Results: The review indicated that gastronomic venues in tourist cities in Brazil and Europe use gastronomy as a powerful tool for cultural preservation and promotion of sustainability. In Brazil, the valorization of native ingredients and traditional culinary techniques has proven effective in preserving local cultures, while in Europe, the integration of sustainable production and consumption practices is more consolidated. However, both contexts face challenges, such as the need to balance tourism demand with the preservation of natural and cultural resources, as well as the management of the environmental impact generated by tourism. Final Considerations: This study highlights the importance of gastronomic venues as promoters of culture and sustainability in tourist cities. The practices adopted in both Brazil and Europe show that it is possible to align cultural preservation with sustainable development, as long as appropriate policies and strategies are implemented.</em></p>2025-03-06T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1934Students’ perspectives on the assessment of attitudes and values as transversal competences in higher education2025-03-07T19:17:40+01:00Marcus Solon Sá de Oliveiramarcussolon409@gmail.comFátima Pereirafpereira@fpce.up.ptThiago Freires Rodriguestfreires@fpce.up.pt<p><em>Comprehensive education in higher education, as highlighted by the Bologna Process, is associated with training that encompasses both technical-scientific and transversal competences. Transversal competences are a set of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that have a transdisciplinary nature (responsibility, commitment, oral and written communication, autonomy and group work, ability to make agreements, among others). This qualitative research is an exploratory study based on the epistemological principles of the interpretative paradigm, which objective is to understand how teachers evaluate attitudes and values as transversal competences in higher education, privileging the student's perspective. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with one undergraduate and one master's student in Educational Sciences, and two undergraduate students in Psychology from a Portuguese university. The results indicate that it is possible to assess responsibility, commitment, oral and written communication through the perception of student participation in the classroom, in various situations: attendance and punctuality of the student in class; their motivation for learning through questions and interactions with peers and the teacher; when the student sends emails to the teacher with questions or suggestions; by the way they make their presentations and the quality of their slides. To assess autonomy, group work and the ability to make agreements, it is understood that the teacher can promote various group dynamics. In general, learning that achieves the formation of attitudes and values as transversal competences is associated with an inclusive, dialogic assessment that is open to mutual feedback.</em></p>2025-03-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1935The impact of the social context on the teaching and learning process: challenges and strategies for the development of 2nd grade students at the José de Ribamar integrated unit in the municipality of Buriticupu-MA2025-03-07T19:28:56+01:00Edileuza de Oliveira Limaedileusalimaoliver2020@gmail.comElisângela de Jesus Ferreira dos Santos Silvaferreirasilvad1997@gmail.comMarleude Vieira Chagasmarleudev@gmail.comMelissa Silva Abreumelissaeduc23@gmail.comVilmar Martins da Silvavillmartins@hotmail.com<p><em>This article investigates the influence of the social context on the teaching and learning process of students in the second year of elementary school, focusing on the challenges faced and the pedagogical strategies adopted.

The Quilombo Jutaí Remnant Community, located in Breu Branco, Pará, illustrates this reality, highlighting the structural and social difficulties that limit the educational opportunities of its residents. The absence of high school education within the community and the provision of a discontinuous modular model hinder students' academic preparation and reduce their chances of entering universities. Thus, the central problem of this study is to understand how the educational barriers faced by quilombolas impact their academic trajectory and what measures can be taken to promote greater inclusion. The objective of this study is to analyze the challenges quilombola students face in accessing higher education, based on the reality of Quilombo Jutaí, and to discuss the impact of affirmative policies, such as Law No. 12.711/2012 (Quota Law), on the inclusion of these groups. To achieve this, the research adopted a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic and documentary analysis, examining academic texts, legislation, and institutional reports on the subject. The justification for this study lies in the need to expand the debate on the inclusion of quilombola students in universities, considering the persistent inequality of opportunities. Although affirmative policies have brought progress, barriers still hinder the retention and success of these students. As a final consideration, the study highlights the importance of more effective public policies that not only guarantee access but also provide financial, academic, and social support for these students. Promoting educational equity and strengthening quilombola identity in the university environment are fundamental steps toward building a fairer and more inclusive society.</em></p>2025-03-08T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1943Art Therapy in the context of promoting mental health in Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Other Drugs 2025-03-10T13:40:19+01:00Lara Nóbrega Duartelaranobrega65@gmail.comPoliana Araujo Augustopolianaaraujoa16@gmail.comCarlos Eduardo da Silva Portelacarlos-portela@fepecs.edu.br<p><em>The Brazilian Psychiatric Reform spurred the creation of substitute services to the asylum model, promoting deinstitutionalization and the human rights of individuals experiencing psychological distress.

In this context, delirium emerges as a frequent and clinically significant complication due to its association with increased morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by an acute alteration in various cognitive and behavioral aspects, which can be hyperactive, hypoactive or mixed. Strategies for managing delirium include non-pharmacological approaches that require collaboration among the multidisciplinary team, family, and patient, as well as often complex pharmacological interventions. This study aims to identify the main pharmacological options currently used for managing delirium in elderly patients in ICUs. This is an integrative review that searched for studies published from 2019 to 2023 in the MEDLINE, SciELO, and BVS databases, in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, using the terms delirium, elderly, ICU, and pharmacological treatment. Studies with inaccessible full-text and those including participants under 60 years old were excluded. Ten relevant studies were selected for this topic. Delirium management in elderly ICU patients often involves the use of antipsychotics such as haloperidol, quetiapine, olanzapine and lurasidone, other medications like dexmedetomidine, valproic acid, melatonin, and measures that include reducing the use of anticholinergics and benzodiazepines. There are no statistically significant results proving the benefit of most of these medications for the elderly, except for dexmedetomidine, which showed a reduction in delirium incidence and ICU stay, despite increasing the risk of bradycardia. Complementary measures, such as reducing medications that precipitate delirium and early reconciliation of neuropsychiatric medications, appear promising.

Nutritional intervention has a great importance in the treatment of cancer cachexia, however, there is still low evidence when it comes to specific interventions. The present review aims to analyze forms of treatment and nutritional management of cancer cachexia available in the literature, synthesize the results of original studies on nutritional treatment for cancer cachexia and describe the outcomes related to quality of life, survival, nutritional status, laboratory tests, functional capacity and adverse effects related to nutritional therapy. This is a systematic literature review study, which brought together the results of original studies on nutritional treatment for cancer cachexia in adult patients over the last 10 years, using Pubmed as a database. The PICO strategy was used to formulate the research question. Seven original articles that address the question of this review were analyzed. The heterogeneity of available studies was observed, such as variation in study design, sample, types of nutritional intervention, feeding routes (oral, enteral and parenteral) and outcomes, which made it difficult to compare the analyzed results. In conclusion, nutrition plays a fundamental role in the management of cancer cachexia, being able to improve quality of life, muscle mass, strengthening the immune system, and improving the clinical condition. However, more studies would be needed to elucidate such nutritional strategies and make recommendations for clinical practice.</em></p>2025-03-19T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1960Home Office and Women: Benefits, Challenges, and the Right to Disconnect in the Remote Work Environment2025-03-19T20:43:11+01:00Maria Luiza Ribeiro Nascimentomarialuizaribeiro.n@gmail.comDaniela Maria Barbosa Limadanimblima@gmail.comCláudia Michelly Sales de Paiva Tonaciomichellysalessh@gmail.com<p><em>Telework, formally incorporated into the Brazilian legal framework through the 2017 Labor Reform, has undergone exponential expansion as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, consolidating itself as a widely adopted modality by various organizations.

Grounded in national labor legislation and international norms, the study employs a qualitative and exploratory methodology, anchored in legislative analysis and empirical data derived from recent research on the subject. The findings indicate that, although telework enhances functional autonomy and reduces operational costs for employers, it also intensifies gender inequalities, undermines the separation between professional and personal life, and complicates the oversight of working conditions. The research contributes to a critical reflection on the necessity of normative improvements and the implementation of effective mechanisms for the protection of workers, particularly regarding the right to rest and the regulation of working hours.

However, even with a predominantly female and elderly world, there are inequalities between the sexes that are caused by structural and socioeconomic conditions in various circumstances that modify health conditions, family dynamics and income. The study is exploratory-descriptive, with a qualitative approach, with a non-probabilistic and convenience sample. The research involves the participation of 102 Brazilian and Spanish elderly women, divided equally with 51 participants each, aged respectively between 60 and 86 years old, and 60 and 92 years old. To collect data, a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used. The findings demonstrate that the social representations of elderly women are anchored in difficulties that both groups present; feeling of gratitude and sadness; factors that are understood as quality of life; and also negative understandings of this phase. The results reveal that there are particularities within this experience as it causes impacts in different and individual ways. When comparing the Social Representations of the women targeted in this study on female old age, it was observed that both groups, based on their speeches, often come closer, but it also differs depending on economic, social and cultural differences between the countries studied.

The central issue lies in the socio-environmental impacts caused by large infrastructure projects, such as the BR-222 highway and the Carajás Railway, which threaten the identity and social cohesion of the Gavião people. Using a qualitative approach, the methodology is based on bibliographic and documentary analysis, including legislation, dissertations, and case studies. The main objective is to analyze Indigenous education as a strategy for cultural strengthening in the face of colonization and economic expansion challenges. The study is justified by the school’s importance as a space for transmitting traditional knowledge, promoting bilingualism, and reinforcing Indigenous autonomy. The Tatakti Kyikatêjê School and the Mundiar Project are concrete examples of this articulation, combining formal education with cultural practices such as the sustainable harvesting of Brazil nuts and the preservation of the Jê-Timbira language. The study concludes that differentiated education is essential for preserving the identity and self-determination of Indigenous peoples.

These cancers can cause intense fatigue and changes in patients' functional capacity, impacting their quality of life. This research aims to assess fatigue and functional performance in patients with hematological cancer hospitalized in a specialized hospital in the Federal District. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Descriptive analysis of numerical variables was conducted using measures of central tendency and dispersion. Categorical variables were presented as absolute and percentage frequencies, and correspondence analysis was applied to explore associations between symptoms and types of hematological neoplasms. Linear regression models were used to investigate the relationships between muscle strength, fatigue, and functional fitness. A significance level of 5% was adopted. The study analyzed 56 medical records, with 37 eligible patients, mostly women (51.4%) with an average age of 49 years. The most common comorbidity was systemic arterial hypertension (40.54%), and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was the most prevalent cancer (35.14%). At diagnosis, participants reported symptoms such as weight loss, fever, and weakness. Functional performance assessed by the KPS scale revealed that most patients were able to perform activities of daily living with occasional assistance. According to the Piper scale, fatigue ranged from mild to moderate, with a greater impact on the affective dimension. There was a positive correlation between muscle strength and functional performance, but no significant association was observed between strength and fatigue. Thus, it is concluded that physiotherapy is essential for preserving muscle strength and patient autonomy. Cancer-related fatigue should be treated in a multidisciplinary manner, considering physical, emotional, and social aspects, to improve functionality and well-being in onco-hematological patients.</em></p>2025-03-28T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/1984Clinical and laboratory profile of living kidney donors undergoing outpatient follow-up2025-03-28T21:14:43+01:00Monali Alves da Silvamonalialves22@gmail.comKheyla Santos Nascimentokheylasantos@gmail.comAndresa Rodrigues Martinsandresamartins48@gmail.comLivia Gabriele da Costa Silvalivia_gabrielle@hotmail.com<p><em>Kidney transplantation is considered the ideal renal replacement therapy for treating end-stage renal disease.

One of the elements that may contribute to this low level of learning is the way mathematics has historically been taught—through the repetition of calculations and the application of decontextualized and mechanical formulas that prevent students from understanding it as a human creation. In this context, this study aims to understand the importance of using games and playful activities as one of the possible ways to organize the teaching of mathematics in the early years of elementary education. To achieve this, we conducted a bibliographic review, focusing on authors whose theoretical approach expresses an understanding of the historical-cultural nature of knowledge production, the learning process, and the development of human psyche. This study shows that games and playful activities, when intentionally organized and selected, can foster learning through social interaction, as students learn school content while playing.</em></p>2025-04-06T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2005The effectiveness of ChatGPT in teaching medicine through systematic mapping2025-04-07T14:38:58+02:00Clodoaldo Lopes da Silvacloppes.s@gmail.comAndrea Marques Vanderlei Fregadolliandreafregadolli@gmail.com<p><strong><em>Introduction:</em></strong><em> With the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into various educational domains, assessing their effectiveness becomes paramount. This study investigates the efficacy of ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art conversational AI model, in the field of medical education. <strong>Objective:</strong> To analyze the scientific production on medical education assisted by ChatGPT. <strong>Methodology:</strong> A systematic and descriptive mapping, with a qualitative nature, was employed. The research question was formulated following the PICO strategy (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome): In medical students (P), how does the integration of ChatGPT-assisted teaching (I), as a complement to conventional teaching methods (C), positively influence academic performance improvement and learning satisfaction (O)? The screening of studies used the PRISMA tool (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses). For article selection, descriptors were defined: ChatGPT, Teaching, Medicine, Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Evaluation Studies as Topic, Educational Measurement, and Education, Medical, Undergraduate. Searches were conducted using long and short search strings: Long string: ChatGPT AND Medicine AND (Teaching OR Learning OR Assessment OR Evaluation Studies as Topic OR Educational Measurement OR Education Medical Undergraduate) end Short string: ChatGPT AND medicine AND (teaching OR learning), These searches were performed in virtual libraries (PubMed, CAPES Journals, Wiley Online Library, BVS, SciELO, and ScienceDirect) by combining descriptors in Portuguese and English, using the Boolean operator (AND). The search strings included: Portuguese: ChatGPT AND medicina AND (ensino OR aprendizagem OR avaliação) end English: ChatGPT AND medicine AND (teaching OR learning OR assessment). Categories were created using Bardin's content analysis method applied to ChatGPT. <strong>Results and Discussion:</strong> Fifty articles were selected. Using Bardin's content analysis, six thematic categories and one subcategory emerged: Applications of ChatGPT in Medical Education: ChatGPT is a complementary tool that enhances learning and critical skill development by offering personalized and interactive experiences.

This study will consider the research of Sassaki (2005, 2006), as well as the reflections of Mantoan (2003, 2013), Menezes (2012) and Freire (2001, 2005, 2008) applying research methods of Gil (2002) and Lakatos & Marconi (2021). From this discussion, the evolution of Brazil’s public education system will be evaluated, driven by the struggle of people with disabilities and the implementation of laws that ensure inclusion, access, permanence, and learning of students with disabilities in conventional classrooms. Using bibliographic research and Boolean research through Google Scholar, to achieve the objectives. The article includes studies that reinforce that the school should represent an inclusive environment not only in its physical structure but also in its pedagogical practices. To achieve this goal, the studies point out that it is necessary to invest in the constant training of teachers. It is concluded with the study that an increase in the load of responsibility of teachers is frequently observed in the face of the demands of educational inclusion. Brazil has developed strategies that value and benefit students and their singularities, however, it is evident that there are several other aspects related to this issue that require special attention, that said, the work in question presents issues related to access to inclusion through specific legislation in a careful look at inclusion treating the stands as subjects of law and leads the school to rethink inclusion as pedagogical praxis.</em></p>2025-04-09T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2020The Potencials of the paper Inverson Techique as a Pschoterapetic Resources: an Analysis of the Movie “The Shack”2025-04-14T15:27:06+02:00Jose Francisco de Sousafrancisco1965@gmail.com<p><em>Psychodrama was born with live theater, and one of its most important and widely used techniques is role reversal—a historical technique that consists of placing the protagonist in the role of the other in order to discover, feel, and understand the other’s beliefs and values. In the film The Shack, this technique appears when the protagonist enters a cave and meets Wisdom, who proposes that he judge Papa (God). To do so, he sits on a throne and makes a series of judgments that he had already established beforehand. Then, Wisdom, acting as an ego auxiliary, manages to show him that being God is not easy and that many things that happen in the world do not occur by God’s will, but rather by another will. In this sense, this essay aims to analyze the film/book The Shack, especially this scene, using Content Analysis to demonstrate that films can serve as therapeutic (and sometimes psychotherapeutic) resources.</em></p>2025-04-16T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2023Management methodologies in civil construction: a comparative study of traditional and agile models2025-04-15T15:06:45+02:00Carlos Henrique Fernandes Alencarcolibriparticipacoes@gmail.com<p><em>Project management in the construction industry faces significant challenges related to project complexity, the involvement of multiple stakeholders, tight deadlines, and the need for strict resource control.

The research is exploratory and descriptive in nature, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, answered by 14 rural producers, between August and October 2024. The main findings reveal that the majority of producers are young, with low education and moderate experience in the agricultural sector. The majority have small properties (less than 10 hectares), with a predominance of agricultural activities. Among the challenges faced are fluctuations in commodity prices, climate variations and limited access to credit. In relation to accounting services, the majority only use general accounting and tax planning, with moderate to high satisfaction regarding the quality of service. However, there is a low demand for more strategic services, such as financial consultancy. The study concludes that, although there is recognition of the importance of accounting, the use of this resource beyond tax obligations is still limited. There is room to improve the relationship between producers and accounting professionals, especially with regard to strategic management and the use of technology to improve the efficiency of rural properties.</em></p>2025-04-24T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistajrg.com/index.php/jrg/article/view/2036Pregnancy on the streets: the difficulties faced by homeless pregnant women in Brazil2025-04-24T15:17:24+02:00Yasmim Farias de Mirandayasmimfarias928@gmail.comMariana de Oliveira Vitalinomarianavitalino@gmail.comMaria Luiza de Carvalho Galvãomalugalvao111@gmail.comJardyellen Matias Bezerrajardyellenb@gmail.comEllen da Silva Rochaellennrocha95@gmail.comLayza de Souza Chaves Deiningerlayzadeininger@gmail.com<p><em>The article aimed to understand violence against women and homelessness in the experience of pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium and the right to motherhood.

The unique characteristics of the sector have led to the development of specific accounting treatments. As a result, in 2009, the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) issued CPC 29, based on IAS 41, which addresses the disclosure and measurement of biological assets. This ensures that information is provided with greater relevance and transparency. The objective of this research was to conduct a detailed analysis of the disclosure and measurement of biological assets presented in the explanatory notes of the business groups listed on B3: JBS, Brasil Foods (BRF), and Marfrig Group, for the base year 2024. The justification for this research lies in the significant role of Brazilian agribusiness and the importance of using accurate information. In this context, there is a need to raise awareness regarding potential issues in the disclosure and measurement of biological assets published in the reports available on B3. The research adopted a qualitative approach, and data collection procedures included bibliographic and documentary research, through which the explanatory notes of the mentioned companies were analyzed with regard to the disclosure and measurement practices used, along with the CPC standards concerning asset accounting. Overall, it is concluded that JBS, BRF, and Marfrig measure their biological assets based on CPC 29. However, some disclosures are not being provided, such as the quantitative data of biological assets by Marfrig and the procedures described in item 49 of CPC 29. These companies are expected to disclose such procedures.</em></p>2025-04-25T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2025
