Teachers and Inclusion: reflections on inclusive education in a state school in the south zone of São Paulo
This article presents a report on an action research project carried out in a state school in the South Zone of São Paulo with the aim of identifying the difficulties encountered by teachers in including children with disabilities and special educational needs, while at the same time offering resources and support for improving the teaching practices of practicing teachers. The methodology consisted of a field phase with semi-structured interviews to investigate psychosocial and pedagogical factors that influence teachers' practices. The data revealed that the participants' teaching experience and training did not equip them with the practical and theoretical skills to work with these students. The teachers' statements showed that, despite more than ten years of experience and multiple training courses in the field of education, these courses were not effective in helping them build a professional identity of “know-how and being” from an inclusive and critical perspective. The results provided insights for further studies on teacher training and for formulating a continuing education proposal that enables reflection on the use of participatory methodologies that favor the full development of children in their specific needs while respecting diversity.

Spatial Distribution of Femicides in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil
Femicide is the ultimate expression of gender-based violence against women. It is a complex phenomenon whose true spatial dimension is often masked by underreporting, especially in large urban centers. With the objective of unveiling this hidden geography, this study analyzed the spatial distribution of femicides in Manaus-Amazonas, Brazil. The research, ecological and cross-sectional in nature, was based on 151 cases registered at the Legal Medical Institute from 2018 to 2020, georeferencing the victim's residence and the crime scene. The analysis reveals that femicide follows a defined, non-random, socio-spatial pattern, as the North and East zones, areas of marked social vulnerability, concentrated more than half of the cases (51.7%). The home was confirmed as the epicenter of the violence (49.7%), constituting a hyperlocal danger pattern. This study contributes to the territorial diagnosis, which demands integrated public policies for security, health, social assistance, and urban planning to protect women.

Patriarchy and Female Exclusion from the Public Sphere: electoral quotas for women in Brazil
This article seeks to elucidate, based on bibliographic research, the role of women in electoral processes and their political struggle for social spaces in a society founded and sustained by patriarchal ideology. The struggle for gender parity stems from the need to find ways to bring women into positions of power with real possibilities for changing their own reality. Creating these opportunities, however, implies modifying the sphere of power that has been dominated for centuries by men who legislate in their favour through successive terms of office. In this sense, when analysing Saffioti, we recognise in depth the patriarchal roots that constitute society and verify that the State itself has produced and continues to produce public policies that are detrimental to women, further delaying the achievement of basic rights. In ‘Gender, the Public and the Private’ (2008), Okin manages to materialise the immense obstacles that women need to overcome even when they have already obtained equal rights to men. Female token candidates, for example, are a symptom of a patriarchal and clientelist political system that does not follow the rules of politics and alienates serious and competent women from public spaces. Finally, the article seeks to reflect on and even question, based on extensive bibliography and assertive discussions on the topic, how to strengthen democracy and institutions and break with the patriarchy rooted in Brazil.

The New Procurement Law and the National Strategy to Combat Corruption in Brazil: bottlenecks and results
The article addresses the fight against corruption in Brazil, considering the importance of global initiatives, such as the UN Global Compact and the 2030 Agenda, in promoting sustainable development and reducing corruption. The main objective is to analyze the advances and challenges related to anti-corruption legislation and practices in the country, based on the New Procurement Law of 2021. The method used consists of a documentary review, starting from a multiple case study that covered the history of combating corruption in Brazil over 20 years, including Operation Lava Jato, as well as the legislation in force at the time and a content analysis on the New Bidding Law of 2021. The results reveal significant advances in Brazilian legislation, with the objective liability of legal entities for acts of corruption and the search for more transparent and efficient bidding processes. However, gaps and challenges to be faced are identified, such as the effective implementation of laws, impunity, the need for greater transparency and accountability, the promotion of a culture of integrity and ethics, and international cooperation. The study contributes to a critical analysis of the advances and challenges of combating corruption in Brazil, highlighting the importance of improving the implementation of existing laws, strengthening the judicial system, promoting transparency and social control, and developing a culture of integrity and ethics.

Saúde, Doença, Deficiência e Intervenção na Visão dos Povos Originários e sua Ressonância nas Políticas Públicas a Eles Endereçadas
Quando pensamos em política pública para apoiar pessoas com deficiência, é fundamental incorporarmos o raciocínio que abarque os povos originários. Mas fazê-lo exige um trabalho antropológico de fôlego, realizando o esforço de partir da perspectiva desses povos sobre o fenômeno, para então se formular modos de interlocução para que a questão seja propriamente endereçada. No entanto, a partir das buscas nas principais plataformas que disponibilizam teses, artigos e trabalhos científicos em geral, notamos uma enorme lacuna nos estudos sobre a perspectiva indígena da deficiência. Desta forma, apresentaremos neste artigo, trabalhos que tangenciam esta questão. Nosso objetivo é levantar e discutir a visão dos povos originários acerca da relação entre saúde, doença, deficiência e intervenção, articulando estes conhecimentos sobre variadas nações originárias e as correlacionando com os conhecimentos ocidentais. Por fim, apresenta-se como as políticas públicas, sobretudo voltadas às pessoas com deficiências e transtornos, estão endereçadas às comunidades indígenas, sobre as quais permanece a visão etnocêntrica e ações verticalizadas por parte dos poderes públicos.

Prenatal Care in Francisco Morato, São Paulo - Brazil: facilitators and barriers
This study aimed to understand and analyze the organization of prenatal care in the municipality of Francisco Morato, based on a basic health unit. Quality prenatal care contributes to the reduction of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, and its implementation still constitutes a great challenge. This is a qualitative research study, conducted in the municipality of Francisco Morato, based on semi-structured interviews and group discussions with health professionals. Thematic analysis of the material collected was used, based on two categories of analysis: facilitators for prenatal care, and barriers to prenatal care. Among the facilitators for prenatal care, we had: organized flow of prenatal care in primary care; forecast of implementation of a birth plan in the municipality; perception of the importance of humanized care during pregnancy and childbirth. Regarding the barriers encountered, we had: difficulties in monitoring high-risk prenatal care; inadequate care protocols; shortage of professionals; difficulty in forming health education groups. The results of this study demonstrate a commitment to providing quality prenatal care, showing the need for some adjustments related to the health care network and the organization of work to guarantee comprehensive care.

The Popularization of the Concept of Resilience and its Distortion
Resilience is not a synonym of persistence or to "support everything" when facing an adverse situation. It is a transforming phenomenon for individuals, groups or institutions who live it on. Nevertheless, the popularization of the concept has been treating the terms resilience and resistance as synonyms. This article has analyzed written reporting in the media in which the concept is incorrectly utilized, contributing for its misunderstanding. Although the spreading and popularization of the concept is positive, it is important to emphazise its more precise conceptualization in order not to make the phenomenon banal. The contemporaneity of the study can be seen by the countless reporting and authorities ´speeches regarding the environmental tragedy at North Sao Paulo coastal, in February 2023, repeatly mentioning the term climatic resilience regarding rebuilding of Sao Sebastiao city and sorroundings.

Director's Work at Ept: Perceptions, Challenges and Reflections Between Being a Director and an Educator
In the educational practices of a Vocational Education School, the role of the principal is to act as a mediator throughout the process. This person is not only the school manager, but also the person responsible for the functioning of the pedagogical work. Thus, management cannot be dissociated from the teaching process. This study proposed the following problematization: how do the work relationships between being a principal and an educator occur in federal Vocational and Technological Education schools in the central region of RS? The general objective is to analyze how the work of the manager is configured in relation to the pedagogical work. The justification for this study is based on the discourses of the principals themselves, who emphasize the importance of monitoring, supervising and guiding their teams to ensure the implementation of teaching plans and pedagogical processes. The research, originating from a Master's project, adopts as a methodology an approach that uses bibliographic, documentary and empirical sources, focusing on the aspects presented in the dissertation. The results obtained from the research carried out with the directors of five Federal Schools of Professional Education in the central region of RS show that it is impractical to separate the role of the manager from that of the educator.

Me and Us: analysis of Simone Tebet’s political speech
This work aims to analyze how the linguistic choices (especially personal pronouns and first-person verbs) of the pre-candidate for the presidency of the Republic, Simone Tebet, contribute to revealing a project of saying (a certain political discourse) which both accentuates the idea of ​​collectivity and serves to propagate responsibility/commitment with voters. The linguistic choices reveal a political discourse that empowers Tebet and his MDB party (“me-Simone” and “us-party”) and that publicizes a need for immediate change based on the principle of democracy (“we = me and the people”). The principle of democracy establishes the idea that political power emanates from the people and, at various times, Tebet's speech makes it clear that his government will be democratic, because it will require a partnership between the people and the interests of his party. To support the analysis of this work, Charaudeau's (2016) ideas will be used mainly on the construction of political discourse and how linguistic-discursive choices are used to seduce and persuade citizens. Opinion, according to the author, is a fact of language and voters are also convinced through language. Therefore, this research, in line with the ideas of this linguist, aims to verify how politicians exercise power over the public through language.

Indigenous History and the Political Pedagogical Projects of São Paulo's Public Universities: a look at the History courses at USP, Unicamp and UNESP
This research intends to analyze the currents Pedagogical Political Projects (PPP) of the public state universities of São Paulo concerning History courses, in order to raise the presence of the academic discipline of Indigenous History and Culture as a component of the curriculum plans of these faculties. Starting from the legal enforcement by the Federal Law of 2008 (number 11.645) that determines the teaching of indigenous History and culture for elementary and high school students throughout the educational network, including public and private schools, this article searches how to understand this new teachers’ training based on this content. While thinking about the training of teachers of History, most of them coming from public universities, it tries to understand how the disciplines that bring contents about the indigenous people in the sociocultural formation of Brazil is an urgent task for the building of a society that respects and appreciates the diversity of peoples and cultures that have been present in the national territory even before the settlement process. This review began with the reading of the Pedagogical Political Projects from these public universities of the State of São Paulo, (USP, Unicamp and UNESP), once this document is made in order to direct the pedagogical and curricular guidelines in the training of future lecturers of History. Therefore, based on the study of these pedagogical proposals, it has tried to find out the size and the importance given to the discipline of Indigenous History and Culture in the curriculum and in the development of these professionals that will need to teach these contents in schools. Furthermore, it intends to find indications of productions of indigenous researchers and decolonial authors through the bibliographical references.

A Cartography of Public Policies for Suicide Prevention in Brazil
Suicide is a global public health issue, and since the turn of the second millennium, the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged member countries to develop public policies to prevent this type of death. This article addresses the construction and implementation of suicide prevention public policies in Brazil. Drawing inspiration from the cartographic method and incorporating considerations related to neoliberalism and other conceptual tools of Michel Foucault, analyses were conducted on the rising suicide rates in contemporary times. This investigation highlights Law No. 13,819, dated April 26, 2019, which establishes the National Policy for the Prevention of Self-harm and Suicide. The fragility of the law is noted, as it proposes a telephone service for individuals experiencing distress or contemplating ending their lives. We argue that suicide prevention public policies should not be limited to the provision of a telephone helpline but require the implementation of interdisciplinary support strategies. Recognizing that someone contemplating suicide may be undergoing intense suffering, we conclude that suicide prevention efforts should address the improvement of living conditions. A suicide prevention project that does not take into account the neoliberal context, a trigger for distress, is deemed destined for failure.

Communication Strategies in Uncertainty in Public Health Emergencies
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, emerging at the human-animal interface, obliges us to bear in mind that the uncertainty is part of the emergency situation, being challenged to quickly confirm the available knowledge and to respond in the best way, despite the unknown. The increase in national capacity consists of strengthening policies, plans, trained personnel, platforms and processes, including the government, non-governmental organizations, civil society, journalists, and other national and international partners. This capacity is the key to preparation for effective risk communication in public health emergencies. Response planners in public health emergencies should have experience in risk assessment, the ability to coordinate a national committee of health leaders to determine how changes in risk levels will be addressed in real time, when to change course and whether resources are available to deal with the requirements of the "new course", including, in this process, communication to the entire population. The work together with the scientific community and policy makers is not always easy to achieve, so the scientific community needs to be able to reach a consensus on information and what aspects of uncertainty to communicate to policy makers.

The Impact of Microcredit on Rural Development and Poverty Reduction in the Agricultural Sector in Mozambique: an analysis based on the experiences and challenges of Nacarôa communities
Microcredit also has an impact on rural communities in the fight against poverty and in boosting rural development. It is in this reflection that it is intended to find implementation mechanisms in the communities of the district of Nacarôa, Nampula province in Mozambique. The experience of the associations of the District Peasants' Union dictates that they know about agrarian investment, but do not directly benefit from rural credit. That is why the challenge is to create lines of credit for the agricultural sector and to facilitate the development of agricultural products.

The Role of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations in Public Policy
In the last few decades, the role and visibility of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in politics has been growing, mainly due to the promotion of new forms of governance. Although their role as mediators between the state and the people is recognized, little is known about the mechanisms and strategies used by these actors in the process of drafting and implementing public environmental policies. This research aims to identify the factors, circumstances and mechanisms of a social, economic, ideological or political nature that encourage or inhibit the influence of these actors on environmental public policies. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review analyzed 33 articles taken from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The results indicate that NGOs use different engagement strategies and play different roles in the public policy cycle. The type of relationship they establish with other stakeholders is also a determining factor and some of the challenges they face make it difficult for them to act in the public policy process.

Tax Reduction to Encourage Recycling of PET Bottles
The textile industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, influencing not only fashion and lifestyle but also socio-economic and environmental issues. This study aims to propose a tax reduction for polyester yarns produced using discarded PET bottles as raw material, with the goal of promoting bottle recycling. To achieve this, an analysis of existing legislation was conducted to determine whether any fiscal benefits apply to products made from recycled materials. The analysis revealed that the only possibility is a reduction in import taxes, which could contribute in some way, but a more significant impact would result from reducing taxes on domestic transactions.

Fashion, Gender and Public Policies: the case of Brazilian bobbin lacemakers
The title of this article is “Fashion, Gender and Public Policies aimed at valuing traditional Brazilian crafts”, taking as a case study the bobbin lace makers in Brazil, heirs of the cultural heritage of colonial times. The work was motivated by the need to follow the debate on gender relations and public policies, noting that a significant part of the fashion workforce is made up of women. Fashion is traditionally guided by countries in the Global North and by large urban centers. From an empirical point of view, we note that traditional handicrafts have been adapting to the market after policy management that brought traditional proposals closer to the Fashion market, in a period in which feminist groups had access to state instances in the promotion of public policies of gender. From a conceptual point of view, we understand the urgency of approaching, and understanding, the support of public policies in the approximation of social design and income generation practices from female groups. In this way, our case study will contextualize a public policy that contemplates the making of bobbin lace made by women as a continuity of the inherited cultural heritage and its adaptation by bringing it closer to social design, expanding the family income of women in the great interior from the country.

Democracy and the Environmental Question as a Challenge for Participatory Governance
Democracy and public policies have connections that are key to confronting fascism and overcoming inequalities. Thinking about democracy without a process of building public policies that recognize the multiple actors and their problems and life challenges does not contribute to overcoming social injustices.

Diagnosis of the Study of Sustainability in Higher Education Courses in Brazil
Sustainable Development is an incessant quest by States and individuals to improve the quality of life for present and future generations. Brazil, as a signatory to the Paris Agreement and the SDGs, seeks actions to achieve the proposed objectives, and one of them is associated with target 4.7. of the SDGs, where it reinforces the importance of education for sustainable development. Thus, this descriptive article, using the hypothetical deductive method, and a qualitative and quantitative research, sought to identify, using the MEC national data base, the undergraduate courses in Brazil associated with the theme of sustainability, georeferencing them with a view to map them and quantify their distribution of vacancies in relation to the Brazilian population. After analyzing the results, it was possible to identify that there are 341 higher education courses in Brazil focused on the theme of sustainability, accounting for 396,349 vacancies/year offered in 25 states and the Federal District, but unevenly, prioritizing states in the South-Southeast axis, the which demonstrates its permeability in the national territory, but still incipient for the theme to be in fact disseminated in higher education courses, and in this way the long-awaited Sustainable Development is achieved.

Motivation, Satisfaction in Public Service and the Mediating Role of Occupational Calling
The objective of this research was to verify if the motivation for the public service positively influences the occupational call and the job satisfaction and if the occupational call positively influences the job satisfaction, as well as mediates the relationship between the motivation for the public service and the satisfaction. at work. For this purpose, a quantitative, descriptive survey was carried out with employees of public educational institutions, using primary data and a cross-sectional analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that the occupational call can be considered the mediator between motivation for public service and job satisfaction, as well as being influenced by motivation for public service and influencing job satisfaction. On the other hand, motivation for public service did not influence job satisfaction. Thus, this study provides tools for the development and improvement of policies in the area of human resources management, through the identification of where and how public servants can find meaning in the performance of their work in favor of serving the interests of society.

School Dropouts in Higher Education in Public and Private Institutions in Brazil
This article aims to reflect on the issue of higher school dropout in Brazilian HEIs based on statistical data from SEMESP and INEP. Such information will help us to understand the causes that lead young people to drop out of the educational institution. It is known that school dropout is a worrying academic problem that has been getting worse every year both in terms of public and private institutions in face-to-face and distance education. The analysis will be done from a general point of view, that is, focusing on Brazil and also a specific analysis, seeking to understand how evasion occurs in the State of São Paulo, one of the most important states in the country. The choice to analyze the State of São Paulo is a strategic way of studying because, in addition to being a region with a potential number of higher education institutions, it is a region that holds a large contingent of students with different social and economic characteristics, making allow a more precise approach to the causes that involve evasion. Some considerations will be brought, alternatively, as partial solutions to circumvent this problem.

The Civic-Military School Implementation as of the View of Multiple Streams
This article examines the National Program of Civic-Military Schools in Brazil, a public policy initiative led by the Ministry of Education in conjunction with the Ministry of Defense. The program proposes the educational and administrative management of regular educational units with the participation of teaching staff and the support of retired military personnel, following a management model based on Military Schools. Using John Kingdon Multiple Streams model, the analysis aims to illustrate how Civic-Military Schools have emerged as one of the main public education policies of the federal government. The Multiple Streams model aids in understanding decision-making dynamics, considering variables such as power, rationality, and priority choices, simplifying complex realities and facilitating the comprehension of decisions and pivotal moments in the Brazilian education landscape. A critical analysis grounded in this well-established theoretical model is essential to enhance the debate and inform decision-making in the educational field.

Analysis of the Impact of Government Transfers on the Public Budget of Brazilian Municipalities: a methodological approach
The present work proposes to analyze the Intergovernmental Transfers, resources applied through financial transfer from the states and Union to municipalities. The objective of this work is to evaluate the impact of the municipal budget resource, in addition to discussing and proposing alternatives for better dissemination of information to the population and strategic planning for the use of these resources. The study is a bibliographic research, built through the examination on the subject through different approaches, aiming to reach new considerations. The research can also be considered a descriptive case study, with the main goal of describing the characteristics of certain phenomena, formulating relationships between variables, expressing interest in individual cases and presenting the investigation of a well-defined case. The results show the illusory effect, in which there is a greater sensitivity in the local public budget due to the complexity of the federative system, which leads to the appearance of market failures of this nature, which could incite the loss of economic efficiency, impacting the budget of municipalities. .

Innovation Policy in Brazilian Universities: an examination of compliance with the elements proposed by MCTI/Brazil in the country's most innovative institutions
The article aims to analyse the compliance of the innovation policies of leading Brazilian universities with the elements recommended by the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications (MCTI/Brazil) for Scientific and Technological Institutions (ICTs). The Orientation Guide for Drawing Up Innovation Policies, published by the MCTI, provides guidelines and recommendations so that ICTs can adapt their internal rules to the Legal Framework for Science, Technology and Innovation. The aim is to assess the level of alignment of university policies in relation to criteria such as the definition of clear guidelines and objectives, the procedures for technology transfer and intellectual property licensing, the participation of public ICTs in the capital of companies, the encouragement of independent inventors, as well as the participation, remuneration, leave and leave of public servants. The analysis revealed that the innovation policies of USP, UNESP, UNICAMP, UFMG and UFRJ vary significantly in their approach to these elements. Some institutions, such as USP, stood out for their more comprehensive approach, establishing clear guidelines and criteria, while others had significant gaps. It was noted that the majority of universities do not specifically address the participation of public ICT in the capital of companies and the encouragement of independent inventors, indicating opportunities for improvement to strengthen their innovation policies.

Climate Change and Master Plan: contribution from medium-sized cities
Actions, policies, and plans to combat the impacts of climate change are more present and evident in large cities. However, a more significant portion of the Brazilian population lives in medium and small cities that need more attention in the specialized literature on the topic. The research aims to contribute to studies on medium-sized cities and climate change using the municipality of Atibaia as a case study based on reviewing the municipality's Master Plan. It was noticed that the Master Plan review document brings for the first time the direction of one of the sectoral policies, "combating climate change," in addition to actions that can contribute to adaptation and mitigation of the impacts of climate change.

Ethics, Citizenship and Structural Corruption in Brazil: history and impasses
In recent years, the debate about corruption in Brazil has reached higher levels due to its greater denunciation and publicity. The purpose of this research was to demonstrate that, despite the increase in current discussion, the problem of corruption has its origins in the formation of the country and permeates all existing governments, and is also present in the deviations committed by citizens on a daily basis. Thus, the methodology used was the hypothetical-deductive approach, with historical and comparative procedures, explanatory depth and bibliographic and documentary data collection. Through a review of Brazil's history and studies on democracy, ethics and political citizenship, it was concluded that corruption has occurred since the beginning of the country's structure and the human constitution itself, persisting because of impunity and a lack of ethical and citizenship training among the population.
