Nara Siqueira Damaceno, Waldemar Naves do Amaral, Rafaela Paula Marciano — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Este estudo teve o objetivo de identificar os obstáculos encontrados pelas mães diante da tentativa de equilibrar a vida profissional com o exercício da maternidade e os possíveis impactos da maternidade no desenvolvimento de suas carreiras. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada em outubro de 2023. A pesquisa buscou artigos dos últimos cincos anos e realizou a análise de 24 artigos que se relacionavam a temática, dos quais apenas um não era brasileiro. O estudo conclui que os principais desafios enfrentados pela trabalhadora mãe advém das diferenças de gênero dentro e fora do ambiente familiar; cobranças sociais em relação ao exercício materno; pouco apoio e suporte social, assim como baixo reconhecimento; e desgaste físico e emocional. Há ainda indícios de que apesar dos direitos garantidos, apenas uma parcela das mães consegue de fato alcançá-los. Além disso, é marcante a o desinteresse empresarial em manter a mulher mãe no mercado de trabalho.

A PERCEPÇÃO DE ESTUDANTES DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO STRICTO SENSU SOBRE O NEOTECNICISMO PRESENTE NA EDUCAÇÃO

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this article, we present a brief discussion on the perception of graduate students regarding how neotechnicism is manifested in education. This is a qualitative research approach as per Lüdke and André (2013) and content analysis by Bardin (2016). We used interviews in the form of questionnaires, applied before and after the presentation of a seminar to master's and doctoral students, whose theme was neotechnicism. The results indicate that neotechnicism is concealed in public education policies and is not perceptible by everyone. We also concluded that the understanding of the definition, practical examples in school, the notion of the precarization of teaching work, accountability, productivity, and results based on competencies and skills of teaching and learning were only perceived after the study and debates on the topic.

ABSTRACT

All agents involved are interested in reliable and systematized information that helps consumers better absorb real estate market products. To this end, market research is a frequently used path to greater understanding of the forces that govern the market. The assertiveness of the definition of the data source and the method to be used considering the question sought to be answered, in addition to the careful elaboration of the collection instrument, are fundamental for the quality of the expected result. Thus, through a Systematic Literature Review, this study aims to understand what types, data sources and collection techniques are used in market research with clients and users in the real estate market, and for what purposes. The results obtained indicate that the use of secondary data in these researches is more recent, and more frequent when the objective is to evaluate the formation of property prices, while primary data are more used to understand preferences and demands and decision processes – For this purpose, questionnaires and interviews are used more frequently, respectively. Furthermore, the types of characteristics considered in the process also vary depending on the objective of the market research in question.

Prerogatives on Research Designs: Narrative Perspectives in the Literature Review

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Research designs are methodological aids that can adopt quantitative, qualitative or mixed approaches. In this context, there are narrative literature reviews which can be relevant for identifying gaps and consensus in knowledge. This study aimed to discuss the peculiarities of research designs with a focus on narrative literature reviews. It consisted of a descriptive, cross-sectional and qualitative study, conducted through a narrative literature review. Materials were retrieved from search platforms using the descriptors “research methodology”, “narrative research” and “qualitative approach”. The findings in the literature showed that narrative designs are valuable strategies in the quest to understand phenomena in their complexity and context, allowing the analysis of meanings and subjective constructions by articulating temporal and relational elements. However, the importance of argumentative clarity must be stressed in order to guarantee the scientific usefulness of the inferences produced. The conclusion is that the choice of methodological design must be based on the research problem and, in this sense, the narrative review is useful for deepening interdisciplinary discussions, valuing the researcher's perspective. However, the importance of recognizing the validity of the different models according to their purposes is reinforced.

Mauro Costa, Michele Oliveira, Eliana Farias, Indrid Foro — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This article presents an analysis of the “Sustainability and Participatory Citizenship” module, part of the “Building More Citizenship” project, promoted by Sinduscon PA between 2023 and 2025 at construction sites in the Belém Metropolitan Region. The initiative aims to integrate non-formal environmental education into the daily lives of construction workers, addressing topics such as waste management, conscious use of water, and urban afforestation. The activities included lectures, educational dynamics, and the symbolic planting of seedlings, with the aim of strengthening emotional and environmental bonds. More than 2,400 seedlings were planted and donated, with an estimated sequestration of 226.9 tons of CO₂ in 20 years. The project directly reached 7,563 participants and was well evaluated by workers, who reported greater environmental awareness and changes in habits. The action also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially numbers 9, 11, 13 and 17, by promoting sustainable practices in the production sector through institutional partnerships. The study concludes that initiatives like this are effective in raising awareness in society about environmental issues and highlights the importance of continuing, expanding and institutionalizing these actions, especially in light of COP-30 in Belém.

SUPORTE ORGANIZACIONAL, CAPITAL PSICOLÓGICO E SAÚDE NO TRABALHO REMOTO/HÍBRIDO: EVIDÊNCIAS EMPÍRICAS EM SERVIDORES DA JUSTIÇA ELEITORAL

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Os conceitos de Capital Psicológico e Suporte Organizacional representam áreas do conhecimento que enfatizam a importância das pessoas e suas consequências no contexto empresarial, focando na motivação e nas dinâmicas psíquicas que orientam o comportamento dos indivíduos em direção a um desempenho organizacional aprimorado. Dentro desse contexto, a intenção é investigar, como o apoio oferecido pelas organizações, afeta os distúrbios emocionais frequentes entre seus os colaboradores. O problema central da pesquisa é formulado da seguinte maneira: o suporte organizacional e o fortalecimento do capital psicológico positivo têm impacto sobre distúrbios emocionais laborais, como ansiedade, depressão e estresse, em trabalhadores, na realização do trabalho híbrido ou remoto? Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é examinar o suporte organizacional promovido pela instituição, TRE/CE, para com seus servidores em regime de trabalho laboral híbrido/remoto e quais consequências relacionadas ao capital psicológico positivo, transtorno emocional e as expectativas futuras. Participaram da pesquisa 107 servidores da Justiça Eleitoral no Ceará, responderam o questionário sociodemográfico, Escala de Percepção do Suporte Organizacional (EPSO), Escala de Capital Psicológico Positivo no Trabalho (ECPP), e Escala de Ansiedade, depressão e estresse (DASS-21). Os resultados indicaram que trabalhadores com menor percepção de SOP apresentaram níveis mais altos de TEC. Verificou-se ainda que o CPP se correlacionou negativamente com os TEC e positivamente com o SOP. Além disso, trabalhadores com níveis elevados de SOP e CPP apresentaram níveis significativamente mais baixos de sofrimento psíquico. Conclui-se que, independentemente da modalidade de trabalho presencial ou híbrido/remoto, o suporte organizacional percebido e o capital psicológico positivo exercem papel relevante na promoção da saúde mental no trabalho. Espera-se que os achados subsidiem políticas institucionais voltadas à prevenção do sofrimento psíquico e à promoção do bem-estar nas organizações.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES AND THE SELF-EFFICACY OF HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES TEACHERS

Karla Nina, Francivane Tavares — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of this study was to analyze the perceived self-efficacy of high school biology teachers in inclusive educational practices, and more specifically to identify the difficulties and challenges encountered by biology teachers in inclusive practices, using a qualitative-quantitative approach. Eight biology teachers from state schools located in Belém - Pará, in the northern region of Brazil, selected from a non-random convenience sample, took part in the study. The data collection instruments used were a questionnaire to characterize the participants and a structured individual interview script. A word cloud was chosen, using the IRaMuTeQ software. The main results were related to the lack of specific training to work with Special and Inclusive Education, especially when it comes to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, which is reflected in adaptations of materials and activities, as well as a lack of ability to work with deaf students. In view of this, the results found contributed to understanding the teachers' view of their self-efficacy beliefs in inclusive educational practices.

DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR THE DURABILITY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES IN ENVIRONMENTS PRONE TO REINFORCEMENT CORROSION: ANALYSIS OF INDICATORS AND TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Henrique Bueno Machado, Andrielli Morais De Oliveira — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Reinforcement corrosion is one of the main causes of degradation in reinforced concrete structures, leading to high maintenance costs and compromising structural safety. The Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 6118 addresses durability-related aspects but lacks detailed guidance on critical parameters, especially concerning chloride-induced corrosion. This paper presents a critical analysis of the Brazilian standards and their alignment with international guidelines (ACI, EN, AS), suggesting the adoption of complementary durability indicators. Parameters such as electrical resistivity, chloride diffusion coefficient, capillary absorption, water permeability, and curing quality are discussed as technical tools to support structural design. Research conducted in Brazil highlights the effectiveness of incorporating pozzolanic additives in mitigating the ingress of aggressive agents. As a practical contribution, a flowchart is proposed to guide the development of durability-focused structural designs based on measurable indicators. The analysis reveals the need for a regulatory revision that incorporates performance-based approaches to extend structural service life and reduce economic, social, and environmental impacts.

A SCIENTOMETRIC STUDY OF USABILITY EVALUATION IN WEBGIS APPLICATIONS

Marciano da Costa Lima, Luciene Stamato Delazari — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study presents a scientometric analysis of the scientific production related to usability evaluation in WebGIS platforms, based on publications indexed in the Web of Science between 2013 and 2024. The main objective was to map key research fronts, identify temporal trends, examine scientific collaborations, and highlight methodological gaps. After a rigorous filtering process, 134 articles were analyzed using the VOSviewer software, which enabled the visualization of co-occurrence networks of keywords, co-authorship, and co-citation. The keyword analysis revealed three major thematic areas: (i) usability and user experience, (ii) structuring and interface design of WebGIS platforms, and (iii) public participation and urban planning. The co-citation analysis, in turn, revealed two primary theoretical clusters, focusing on usability fundamentals and participatory approaches (PPGIS). The findings indicate that WebGIS research has increasingly moved toward inclusion and accessibility, yet still faces challenges such as terminological inconsistency, fragmented collaboration networks, and a lack of longitudinal usability studies. This work contributes to the systematization of knowledge in the field and offers insights for the development of more integrated and methodologically robust usability evaluations.

IMPACTOS DA VULNERABILIDADE SOCIAL NO DESENVOLVIMENTO COGNITIVO E EMOCIONAL INFANTIL: PERSPECTIVAS NEUROPSICOLÓGICAS

Antonny Bruno Martins Ferreira, André Sousa Rocha — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The study aimed to investigate the impacts of social vulnerability on children's neuropsychological development, with an emphasis on cognitive and emotional functions. Based on the analysis of 15 studies published between 2007 and 2024, consistent evidence was identified showing that children exposed to poverty, neglect, violence, and family instability present significant deficits in skills such as working memory, attention, language, inhibitory control, and emotional self-regulation. These impairments directly affect school performance, the formation of affective bonds, and mental health. On the other hand, the reviewed studies highlight the role of neuroplasticity and early interventions as protective factors. Multicomponent programs focused on cognitive stimulation and the strengthening of family and community ties proved effective in mitigating the adverse effects of vulnerability. In addition, the literature emphasizes the importance of intersectoral public policies that integrate health, education, and social assistance, contributing to children's comprehensive development. It is concluded that understanding the effects of social vulnerability and evidence-based intervention strategies is essential to promote equity in child development and support the formulation of more effective public policies.

EFEITOS DOS TRATAMENTOS COM FUNGICIDAS E INSETICIDAS EM DIFERENTES ÉPOCAS NA QUALIDADE DE SEMENTES DE SOJA ARMAZENADAS

MARIVONE MOREIRA DOS SANTOS — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study was developed to determine which active ingredients have the ability to influence the germination and vigor of soybean seeds treated with insecticides and fungicides after certain storage periods. For this research, germination and vigor tests were performed using the accelerated aging method. The products Clothianidin, Pyraclostrobin + Thiophane Methyl + Fipronil and Fluxiodinil + Metalaxyl-M were used, whose effects were analyzed during the periods 0, 15, 30 and 45 days after the treatment of soybean seeds. For the germination tests, the treated seeds, in each storage period, were planted on germination paper previously moistened with 2.5 times the weight of the paper in water and distributed in 4 replicates of 50 seeds, subsequently placed in a continuous temperature germinator at a temperature of 25º C. After 5 days, the normal seedlings were counted. To evaluate the vigor, the accelerated aging test was used. 200 seeds were placed in a gerbox, which remained for 48 hours in an accelerated aging chamber at 41°C and 90% humidity. After this period, the seeds were placed to germinate on sheets of germination paper moistened with water 2.5 times the weight of the paper and planted in 4 replicates of 50 seeds and then placed in the continuous temperature germinator at a temperature of 25°C. After 5 days, the normal seedlings were counted. The germination test showed that the treatment with Pyraclostrobin + Thiophane Methyl + Fipronil had germination greater than 80%, but did not differ from the treatments containing Clothianidin and Fluxiodinil + Metalaxyl-M. However, all treatments had higher averages than the control in all storage periods. The seed vigor test treated with Pyraclostrobin + Thiophane Methyl + Fipronil and Fluxiodinil + Metalaxyl-M showed the highest germination averages, followed by Clothianidin, which was superior to the control. All treatments had averages above 70%, while the control was below this value. The treatments with Pyraclostrobin + Thiophane Methyl + Fipronil, Fluxiodinil + Metalaxyl-M and Clothianidin provided the best effect on soybean seed germination over 45 days of storage. The treatments Pyraclostrobin + Thiophane Methyl + Fipronil and Fluxiodinil + Metalaxyl-M provided the best effect on soybean seedling vigor. It was observed that products containing insecticides and fungicides in combination provide a higher germination rate and vigor for soybean seeds for a longer storage period.

A INFLUÊNCIA DE DARWIN NA PSICOLOGIA:

Jean Santana, Jonathan Melo de Oliveira , Paulo Henrique Asfora Lopes Peres — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

When proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace in the 19th century, the theory of evolution by natural selection revolutionized not only biology but also several areas of knowledge, including psychology. This work demonstrates how the principles of natural selection influenced the development of different psychological approaches, especially evolutionary psychology, based on a historical and conceptual analysis. We present the impacts of evolutionary theory on specific areas of psychology, such as comparative psychology, functional psychology, and behavioral psychology. Finally, we conclude that Darwin's various works continue to be a valuable theoretical foundation for contemporary psychology, promoting new perspectives on the origin and function of human behavior. Furthermore, we suggest that future research should further explore the integration of evolution and psychology in emerging fields such as neuroscience and mental health. This work seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of Darwin's legacy in psychology, fostering critical and interdisciplinary discussions on the topic.

ANALYSIS OF THE EMERGENCE OF Brassica oleracea L. SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Kale is a vegetable of great nutritional and economic importance, especially in family farming, playing a crucial role in food security and sustainable rural development in Brazil. The study evaluated the effect of different substrates on the emergence of Brassica oleracea L. (collard greens) seedlings, aiming to identify the most efficient substrate for seedling production. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using four substrates: topsoil, worm humus, vegetable substrate, and arable soil. The design was completely randomized, with 15 replications of 5 seeds each. The seeds were sown in plastic seed trays and irrigated daily. Parameters such as emergence onset (EO), emergence percentage (%E), emergence speed index (ESI), and mean emergence time (MET) were evaluated. The results showed that topsoil was the most effective substrate, with the highest emergence rate (76%) and mean percentage (79.16%), as well as the highest ESI and the lowest MET, indicating rapid and uniform emergence. Arable soil also showed satisfactory results, being a viable and low-cost alternative. It was concluded that all tested substrates are viable for the production of Brassica oleracea L. seedlings, with topsoil standing out as the most effective.

Rafaela Paula Marciano, Nara Siqueira Damaceno, Waldemar Naves do Amaral — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

De acordo com a WHO, a infertilidade afeta cerca de 48 milhões de casais em todo o mundo e cerca de 8 milhões de pessoas no Brasil. As tecnologias reprodutivas fornecem um campo privilegiado em possíveis articulações entre o feminino e o desejo de ter um filho. Considerando a importância social e psicológica da maternidade e da reprodução em nossa sociedade, a infertilidade pode afetar as esferas emocional, sexual e dos relacionamentos conjugais. Participaram do estudo 24 mulheres, acima de 35 anos, em tratamento para infertilidade em um centro de reprodução assistida de um hospital universitário. Os resultados apontam como barreiras de acesso o alto custo do tratamento, a longa permanência na fila de espera e o atraso no diagnóstico que pode, consequentemente, afetar o sucesso da reprodução assistida. Conclui-se que a não priorização da reprodução assistida nas políticas públicas exclui grande parte da população ao acesso a essas tecnologias visto que o desejo de constituir uma família ainda é presente na grande maioria das pessoas. Tal debate se faz necessário para consolidar os direitos reprodutivos das pessoas no âmbito do SUS, independentemente de sua condição socioeconômica, orientação sexual, estado civil, raça e cor.

EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT IN PROFESSIONAL PPG OF SCIENCE TEACHING: A LOOK AT THE TEACHING OF BIOLOGY

Erisnaldo Francisco Reis — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This text originates from qualitative bibliographic research, in which we sought to follow from a descriptive perspective. It discusses about educational products, seeking to report aspects of its elaboration and validation in professional graduate program, based on theoretical framework generated from studies conducted more recently. Thus, the objective is to point out aspects related to the conceptualization, structure and validation of the Educational Product, in order to promote a reflection on the production of this artifact in professional programs. The information shows that the CAPES Teaching Area has defined the types of PE for professional graduate programs. The results point to the aspects to be considered for validation. Also point that in the three programs consulted, the PE directed to the Teaching of Biology are in lower quantity and with predominance of the didactic sequence type. In the final considerations it is reported that the most important in a Professional Graduate Program is the teacher's education (a), because as a professional he needs aptitude to reflect on his praxis, based on a methodological theoretical framework.

CASE STUDY OF BUILDING PATHOLOGIES AT LOUIS ENSCH STATE SCHOOL IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF JOÃO MONLEVADE – MG

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study presents the pathological manifestations identified at Louis Ensch State School, located in the city of João Monlevade, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The case study employed the Lichtenstein method, which is divided into three stages: data collection, diagnosis of the situation, and definition of corrective measures. This method is essential for gathering the necessary information and proposing appropriate solutions based on the specific characteristics of each issue. The seven main pathologies identified in the school building are presented, with emphasis on those related to moisture infiltration, the absence or failure of construction details, execution errors, and lack of maintenance. The results confirm that the presence of a qualified engineer during the construction phase is a crucial factor in preventing pathological manifestations. Furthermore, a structured maintenance schedule is necessary to ensure the longevity and functional performance of the building.

PARALYMPIC SPORT AND THROWING EVENTS IN ATHLETICS: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND REFLECTIONS ON ACADEMIC PRODUCTION IN THE FIELD

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study presents a literature review on Paralympic sport, with an emphasis on the throwing events. The research is justified by the scarcity of academic studies in this area, identified through a search in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). Using the terms “sport,” “Paralympic,” “athletics,” and “throwing,” only three studies were found. However, when the term “Paralympic” was removed, the number of publications increased to 57, highlighting the need for more scientific production focused on Paralympic sports. In this context, the aim of this study is to provide the academic community, especially Physical Education students, with relevant information about the origin of the Paralympic Games and the main fundamentals of throwing events in Paralympic athletics. The review aims to contribute to the strengthening of academic literature in this field and to encourage further research on the topic.

WHEN DOES EXERCISE BECOME EXCESSIVE? PREVALENCE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS OF EXERCISE DEPENDENCE IN CROSSFIT

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Regular physical exercise provides health benefits; however, when performed excessively and compulsively, it can lead to exercise dependence. This study investigated the prevalence of exercise dependence behaviors in CrossFit practitioners and its associated factors, with an emphasis on the relationship between training duration and the manifestation of dependence behaviors. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted with 69 CrossFit practitioners who completed the Revised Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS-R). Sociodemographic, anthropometric variables and training duration were analyzed. The analyses were exclusively descriptive, without inferential tests. Among participants, 42% were classified as at risk for exercise dependence, 45% as symptomatic non-dependent, and 13% as asymptomatic non-dependent. A higher frequency of dependence risk was observed among individuals with longer training duration. The most affected domains were lack of control, withdrawal, and tolerance. The frequency of exercise dependence risk varied among the CrossFit practitioners evaluated, with a higher occurrence among those with longer training duration. Monitoring psychosocial and behavioral factors may contribute to understanding and preventing potential negative health impacts.

Importance of standardizing the protocols used to estimate body fat percentage

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aimed to investigate the influence of the standardization of skinfold (SF) protocols on the assessment of body composition (BC) and to compare different methods for estimating body fat percentage (BF%). The sample included 16 men (age: 24.38 ± 1.43 years) whose SF measurements were obtained according to the ISAK (International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry) protocol via a scientific adipometer. Seven BF% estimation protocols were compared via ANOVA for repeated measures, with Bonferroni post hoc correction. The results revealed significant differences between the protocols analyzed (p < 0.05), suggesting that the lack of standardization may compromise the accuracy of the evaluations. Therefore, maintaining the same protocol between the test and retest is essential to minimize variations in the results. Future studies should investigate the effects of standardization in more diverse populations, including children and adolescents.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RCC COMPACTION PARAMETERS IN ROAD WORK USING THE SAND REPLACEMENT METHOD AND NUCLEAR GAUGE

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The construction of pavements using the roller compacted concrete (RCC) technique has evolved over the last few years. An important aspect for the correct execution of the structure refers to the degree of compaction with which the concrete is executed, and defects have been associated with lower compaction, with greater porosity in the concrete. The results of this study were generated in a survey carried out. 27 piles obtained from the duplication work of BR-381/MG North – Lot 7 were analyzed, in which the interval is 37.5 km long, from km 389.5 to km 427. Through compaction tests on samples of CCR in the laboratory, sand bottle test and the use of a nuclear densimeter on site, the correlation between the results was verified. It is feasible to use the densimeter to replace the bottle of sand, given that the variation in results between both methods is below 2.5%, as well as the densimeter values being closer to the value of the maximum specific mass.

ANÁLISE DAS MANIFESTAÇÕES PATOLÓGICAS EM ESTRUTURAS DE CONCRETO POR MEIO DE ENSAIOS NÃO DESTRUTIVOS EM UM EDIFÍCIO LOCALIZADO NA CIDADE DE SÃO PAULO

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Pathologies in civil construction are becoming increasingly evident in today's society, as the number of inhabitants in large and small cities is growing, and so there is a need for new housing and commercial constructions that often have structural defects that can compromise various factors in a building, such as the durability of the structure, safety and the value of the building. Pathological manifestations can originate from incorrectly calculated designs, materials not complying with performance standards being used in the construction of structures, as well as flaws in the on-site execution process. The main pathological manifestations are cracks in structures, seepage, disintegration, deformation of the structure and corrosion of reinforcement. One of the ways of detecting and analysing pathology is non-destructive testing, which helps to explain why the structural failure occurred so that partial demolition of the structure is not necessary by extracting cores. The aim of this article is to discuss the main methods of non-destructive testing used in construction to guarantee the quality and safety of existing structures. To demonstrate the applicability of these techniques, a case study is presented of the use of non-destructive testing using infrared thermography and phenolphthalein solution to detect pathologies in a building located in the city of São Paulo.

TRANSPARÊNCIA AMBIENTAL NO DISTRITO AGROINDUSTRIAL DE ANÁPOLIS

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Este estudo analisa a transparência ambiental corporativa no Distrito Agroindustrial de Anápolis (DAIA), Goiás, investigando a qualidade e o alinhamento dos relatórios de sustentabilidade com os impactos locais. A pesquisa, baseada em 154 empresas e seus relatórios publicados entre 2020 e 2024, revela um cenário de divulgação seletiva. As empresas priorizam o reporte de temas com forte pressão regulatória ou financeira, como o consumo de água (GRI 303) e as emissões de Gases de Efeito Estufa (GRI 305), enquanto negligenciam impactos locais críticos, como a perda de biodiversidade (GRI 304) e a emissão de poluentes atmosféricos específicos (NOx, SOx). Uma dissonância significativa foi encontrada entre os temas que as empresas declaram como "materiais" em seus discursos e os dados quantitativos que efetivamente publicam, especialmente no setor Químico e Farmacêutico. A principal contribuição metodológica é o Índice de Maturidade de Reporte Ambiental (IMRA), que avalia a qualidade da governança em vez do volume de dados. O IMRA demonstra que a verificação externa é um indicador de compromisso mais robusto do que a quantidade de indicadores reportados, concluindo que a prática de reporte no DAIA, em seu estado atual, funciona mais como uma ferramenta de marketing do que como um mecanismo de prestação de contas genuína.
