This research presents a reading of the relationships between practices and technologies in the collection of native seeds for ecological restoration. To this end, a qualitative research was developed with an ethnographic approach and individual interviews with the Cerrado de Pé Association in the microregion of Chapada dos Veadeiros (GO). The investigation is based on the idea that humans and non-humans establish relationships due to the territory and worldview of collecting communities. In Cerrado de Pé, the technical-scientific history of restoration conform with the perspectives of local knowledge from settled communities, quilombolas and rural-urban contexts, making hybrids of practices and technologies interact. In this sense, the way in which collectors and technicians negotiate, adapt and translate information about collection into the Seed Delivery Form (Formulário de Entrega de Sementes) was problematized – the Form was interpreted as a technology that connects the collection work with the seed market and the political instruments that regulate seed production, expressed in the National Seed and Seedling Registry (Registro Nacional de Sementes e Mudas - Renasem). Finally, the discussion about practices, techniques and technologies repositioned the collectors' know-how, in order to reveal how they co-create technology in the interaction between different ecological notions, imprinting cosmotechnical differences in the transit between public policies, the market and their realities.

Hunger is a frequent object of research in different fields, as diverse as their
interpretations of reality, causalities, and social repercussions, opening a vast horizon of
studies. In the field of Public Policies, the problem of hunger is still treated primarily
under prescriptive lenses, with few works focused on its different perceptions, the effects
of affections, social interaction, and its reflexivity. However, there are a number of authors
who propose that affections are inseparable from public policy processes and can bring
important perspectives to policy makers and researchers, often ignored by classical
pragmatism, opening space for exclusion, subalternity and silencing of vulnerable social
groups. This work starts from a bibliographic review on the concepts of hunger explored
by different knowledge fields, analyses some important evaluation tools and delves deeper
into the relationships between subjectivities, emotions and public policies based on Critical
Studies in Public Policies. It also proposes an effort to build an evaluative model based on
the understanding of hunger as a public affection, contributing to emotionally affected
public policies. This work is closed by a case discussion about a public action aimed at the
homeless population, the identifiable arguments in this relationship and how hunger is
understood by some of the voices involved, including my own.

The work aims to understand how remote teaching repercussions in the school life of public school students of the Elementary Education of the administrative region of São Sebastião-Distrito Federal. A quantitative research was conducted through a form, with parents and guardians and interviews with teachers and managers from four urban schools in São Sebastião-DF. The analysis of the research results was carried out through the factors associated with school performance in times of pandemic that were compiled through exploratory analysis of the literature. Emergency Remote teaching left important marks in the surveyed school community. It was a difficult time for teachers, students and families. A period to overcome more obstacles than those who commonly appear in face-to-face teaching. The main results revealed the concerns of parents/responsible for learning children, difficulties in organizing the routine of study and assisting them in the period. Already research with teachers and managers revealed feelings of insecurity and stress in the difficult period.

Artificial intelligence is a technological innovation from the Global North with the potential to challenge the way we live, produce, and disseminate knowledge in the Global South. Studies describe technologies and technological trends based on artificial intelligence that are being incorporated into higher education in Brazil, with the power to determine access to rights and opportunities, thus the fate of people and society. The development of science and technology are at the center of the causes of paradigmatic transformations in history, however, in the current scenario remains the paradox between remarkable advances and the intensification of inequalities, arising in large part from geopolitical struggles for power and markets. The UN 2030 Agenda draws attention to the urgence to prioritize sustainable development and sets specific targets for quality education. Since the use of artificial intelligence has a significant influence on the future of higher education, and considering that higher education is a fundamental right and a strategic sector for the economic and social development of the country (BRASIL, 2014), as well as that there is no regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, especially in education, in Brazil, the purpose of the proposed research is to point out guidelines for the ethical use of technologies based on artificial intelligence in Brazilian higher education, based on a narrative review and content analysis of selected documents.

This dissertation explores the correlation between gender, intersectionality and political representation through the election of black, indigenous, transgender and transsexual councilwomen in the year 2020. The theme is examined through bibliographic research on feminist, intersectional and decolonial theoretical frameworks, quantitative data analysis regarding the group under analysis, semi-structured interviews with four elected councilwomen in 2020 and research on documentary sources. The general objective of the research is to analyze, from a feminist, intersectional and decolonial perspective, the election of black, indigenous, transgender and transsexual councilwomen in 2020 and their views on gender issues and feminisms. The study provides an overall quantitative overview of these elected councilwomen in 2020 and proposes a historicized reading of feminisms to situate their election within the broader context of women's struggles for rights and equity. In order to understand the limited representation of these diverse parliamentarians in political spaces, as well as the increase in the number of these elected councilwomen in 2020, the impact of colonial hierarchies on their distance from centers of political power is discussed, along with the strategies that have contributed to their arrival in such spaces. The opinions and perspectives of black, indigenous, transgender and transsexual councilwomen on feminisms are central themes of the research, seeking to understand to what extent the formulations of this social and political movement are connected to the thoughts of the parliamentarians regarding equity and the fight against gender asymmetries. These analyses led to the conclusion that, despite various heterogeneities among the groups of councilwomen analyzed regarding life trajectories, number of elected representatives, party affiliation, national distribution and opinions on feminisms, there are also several commonalities among these women. It was found that they share narratives of violence resulting from their entry into centers of political power and some strategies to overcome the barriers that separate them from such spaces. Regarding feminisms, although not all parliamentarians are attracted to this social, political and scientific movement, that does not mean that they are antagonistic to feminists in positions of power. On the contrary, they are potential allies in the pursuit of equity as they bring to these spaces worldviews, agendas and demands from historically marginalized and invisibilized social segments.

This work aimed to understand the social participation institutionalized by the National Health Council in a moment of democratic fragility and the right to health involving the period from 2013 to 2022. For that, an exploratory qualitative study was carried out using the methodology of content analysis proposed by Bardin. Participating in this study were national health counselors representing users through in-depth interviews, using semi-structured scripts that aimed to capture classical units of analysis of participation in terms of representativeness of leadership, legitimacy of the process, participation of the base, capacity for self-sustainability and expansion of democratic experimentalism in a moment of rupture experienced by the Brazil. The results enabled the construction of 6 categories that structure the work and the discussion, namely: 1. Work and daily life of national health counselors; 2 - Representativeness and participation of users in the National Health Council; 3 - Right to health and the new market mechanisms that weaken the SUS; 4 - Meanings and perceptions of democracy in Brazil today; 5 - Undemocratic constraints and weakening of the National Health Council; and 6 - Pandemic and difficulties in exercising participation. The results and the subsequent research indicate that despite the traditional problems of legitimacy and links with the bases, and the difficulties in defending the attacks on the right to health through the weakening of the SUS, these problems were exacerbated due to the new political scenario from the street demonstrations that took place in the last decade. The semantic units of analysis allowed us to walk through Brazilian democracy starting with the June 2013 marches and to understand the impacts of these changes on social control. The emergence of a new right wing with an authoritarian bias and fascist characteristics that took over the Brazilian State, bringing with it militarism and scientific denialism as a management logic, fit into this scenario. The magnifying glass allowed by the pandemic also resulted in the discussion about participation in virtual times, but which became even more important to oppose this authoritarian and anti-scientific logic responsible for a large part of the mortality that characterized the erratic fight against COVID-19 in Brazil. The study concludes by concluding that the role that social control plays in defending the right to health within a neoliberal context is of fundamental importance and how it has also acted as one of the bulwarks of our fragile

Introduction: Accentuated urbanization and population aging create global challenges. In Brazil, the population has been aging in the face of unfavorable socioeconomic conditions, associated with - not uncommon - losses of autonomy and independence, and difficulty in adapting to the demands of the modern world, which often leads to the social isolation of the elderly people. The challenge of facing these transformations within a short period creates a sense of urgency in changing public policies and society. Faced with this scenario, the WHO in recent decades has increased its efforts to encourage healthy, active, and participatory aging, with friendly cities for the elderly and at the same time combating ageism. Living together in the city is permeated with prejudiced attitudes against the elderly, and the collective's awareness of this “ism” is the first step towards building friendly environments. Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore and understand the conceptions and perceptions of elderly people about the axes of the world Guide of Age-friendly cities, as well as their notes on priorities and barriers to make the metropolitan region of Brasília more friendly to the elderly. Methods: The theoretical-methodological proposal adopted is a qualitative, cross-sectional, and analytical approach. Two steps were organized: i) a review of the literature scope, to survey the concepts used for Age-friendly cities, as well as the theories that are used to cover the theme; ii) a survey of sociodemographic issues with the application of an Online Survey through a convenience sample of 208 elderly people, aged 60 or over from 4 administrative regions of the Federal District (Ceilandida, Lago Sul, Plano Piloto, and Taguatinga). The entire study adopts the theoretical framework of ageism and ecological theory, a construct that makes it possible to understand the barriers, prejudices, and stereotypes of the most diverse orders that compromise the experience of the fullness of longevity and the influence that the environment has on the inclusion and social interaction of women. old people. Results: The sample consisted of 208 people aged 60 years or older, with a predominance of women (78.4%), 90.38% heterosexuals, with a mean age of 67.5 years (± 6.67), a minimum of 60 years and a maximum of 92 years. The majority self-declared to be non-black (58.17%), however, in peripheral administrative regions there is a black majority (51% in Ceilândia and 50% in Taguatinga). On average, 68.75% have higher education, income of 4-10 minimum wages, are married or have a stable relationship (51.44%); 38.94% live with one more person; 62.50% have a health plan as holder; 72.12% live in their own property and paid off, and 46.63% of the individuals rated their health and quality of life as good. In short, 66.08% of people do not consider Brasilia a friendly city for the elderly, with 74.52% believing that for this title, the capital must improve access to external spaces. In addition, the most important axes are: Health (82.21%), Respect and Inclusion (74.52%) and Transport (73.56%). In the Ceilândia (90.2%) and Taguatinga (73.71%) regions, the greatest fear of elderly people when leaving home is the fear of being mugged. In Plano Piloto (72.41%) and Lago Sul (61.90%), there is a fear of suffering a fall because of uneven sidewalks. Conclusion: It was possible to identify that for the elderly, a friendly environment is one that facilitates the exploration of the external environment with accessibility, without leaving aside the right to health, respect and inclusion, and the provision of public transport. Those who live in peripheral regions suffer more from the insecurity of crime, while the central regions feel insecure with the physical structure of the sidewalks and the fear of falling. It was not possible to associate self-perception of health or other social determinants with the perception of the city being friendly to the elderly.
