LEAN MANUFACTURING IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: CASE STUDY IN A TEXTILE INDUSTRY
type: item
description: The reduction of lead time in the product development process (PDP) is one of the main challenges faced by organizations operating in dynamic and competitive markets, such as the textile sector. In this context, the application of lean manufacturing principles has proven to be a promising strategy to eliminate waste and increase efficiency. This article aims to analyze the joint application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and the Gemba Kaizen (GK) method in a multi-project PDP of a textile industry in Santa Catarina, seeking to highlight how these practices can contribute to continuous improvement. Methodologically, the study adopts action research, conducted in two intervention cycles: the first focusing on waste identification through VSM, and the second on implementing improvements via GK. The results revealed the existence of excessive information inventories, rework, and inconsistencies in material and data flows, which directly impacted lead time. The application of lean practices resulted in a 63% reduction in the rework rate in printing and a decrease of two days in the total PDP lead time. As a contribution, the study demonstrates the applicability of Lean Product Development in sectors still scarcely explored in the literature, such as textiles, while also highlighting the relevance of integrating classical quality tools with lean methodologies. It further suggests the need for future research on the digitalization of VSM and GK, aligning product development with the principles of Industry 4.0 and the circular economy.

TRENDS IN LOGISTICS BENCHMARKING: A REVIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE
type: item
description: Globalization and the intensification of competition have placed logistics at the core of organizational strategies, being considered the “last frontier” for competitiveness gains. In this context, benchmarking emerges as an essential tool to evaluate logistics performance, identify best practices, and support continuous improvement processes. This article aims to review the international literature on benchmarking applied to logistics, building a bibliographic portfolio of the most relevant publications and analyzing their main contributions. Methodologically, a structured literature review was conducted in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, followed by bibliometric analysis supported by the model proposed by Marasco (2008). The resulting portfolio included 11 main articles and 39 supporting references, allowing the identification of recurring authors, journals, and keywords. The findings indicate that research is concentrated between 2006 and 2009, highlighting journals such as Benchmarking: An International Journal and Supply Chain Management: An International Journal. The most recurrent themes involve logistics benchmarking, strategic management, data analysis, logistics services, and, more recently, sustainability and reverse logistics. The most frequently cited authors were Hokey Min, Seong Jong Joo, Jukka Korpela, and Markku Tuominen, evidencing the concentration of research in North America and Europe. As a contribution, the study synthesizes the state of the art on logistics benchmarking, points out gaps such as the low presence of studies in Brazil, and suggests future research agendas focused on digitalization, green logistics, integration in global supply chains, and performance measurement in collaborative environments.

INTEGRATING TIMES AND METHODS WITH KANBAN - A CASE STUDY IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
type: item
description: The automotive industry is characterized by its high complexity and the need for highly efficient and flexible production processes. In this context, the integration of classic tools, such as time and method studies, with lean manufacturing practices, such as the Kanban system, constitutes a relevant strategy for identifying bottlenecks, reducing waste, and increasing competitiveness. This article aims to analyze the combined application of chronoanalysis and Kanban in an automotive wiring harness production cell, seeking to understand their impact on line balancing and improving production flow. Methodologically, this is an exploratory case study with a quantitative approach, developed through the collection of operating time data, mapping of supply routes, and the implementation of Kanban cards and boards. The results show that, prior to the intervention, production stations operated above takt time, compromising efficiency. With the introduction of the Kanban system, combined with the standardization achieved through chronoanalysis, there was a significant reduction in waste, elimination of inappropriate activities, and improvement in cell balancing, with all stations operating within takt time and fatigue limits. As a contribution, the study demonstrates the practical applicability of the integration between classical methods and Lean tools, reinforcing its relevance for continuous improvement. Furthermore, it highlights the need for future research on the digitalization of Kanban (e-Kanban) and its integration into smart production environments, aligned with the principles of Industry 4.0.

QUALITY TOOLS AND PROCESS STANDARDIZATION: A CASE STUDY IN A TEXTILE COMPANY
type: item
description: The adoption of quality tools in conjunction with the PDCA cycle constitutes one of the foundations of continuous improvement in production processes. Although widely used, their practical application in traditional industries, such as textiles, still lacks more detailed analyses of their impacts and limitations. This article aims to investigate the effects of implementing quality tools and the PDCA cycle in the flat knitting sector of a textile company located in Santa Catarina, focusing on process standardization and reducing nonconformities. Methodologically, this is a descriptive case study, conducted through the integrated application of brainstorming, the GUT matrix, 5W1H, check sheets, and standardization via Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The results demonstrated a significant reduction in dimensional nonconformities of produced parts, greater clarity in technical specifications, and standardization of operational routines. On the other hand, a decrease of approximately 30% in daily productivity was observed, demonstrating that quality improvements can generate trade-offs in terms of operational efficiency. As a contribution, the study reinforces the importance of systematically using quality tools in the textile sector, demonstrating their potential to increase reliability and reduce waste. It also highlights the need for future research on the balance between quality and productivity. Furthermore, it points to ways to integrate these tools with contemporary approaches, such as Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, expanding their applicability in competitive and dynamic environments.

SUPPLY NETWORKS: STRUCTURES, STRATEGIES AND RESEARCH TRENDS
type: item
description: Supply Networks (SNs) constitute one of the most dynamic and strategic areas of supply chain management, encompassing complex interactions between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, customers, and institutional actors. Despite the growing relevance of the topic, reviews that synthesize the state of the art and point to directions for future research are still scarce. This article aims to classify, analyze, and discuss the main contributions of the literature on SNs, proposing conceptual and methodological subsidies to guide new studies. The research was conducted through a systematic literature review, based on the Scopus database, which initially resulted in 2,901 publications. From alignment filters, scientific recognition, and full reading, 12 central articles published between 1987 and 2014 were selected. The results reveal that most investigations focus on the relationships of the focal company with upstream suppliers, as well as on structural analyses of the network as a whole, with significant gaps in studies on customers (downstream) and on the interaction of SNs with the external environment. The study also observed an emphasis on themes such as outsourcing, internationalization, knowledge transfer, and mathematical modeling, but still with little exploration of emerging topics such as sustainability, resilience, digitalization, and interorganizational governance. As a contribution, the study organizes the conceptual field of supply chains, highlights gaps, and proposes a research agenda that includes empirical, sectoral, and interdisciplinary approaches. It concludes that the consolidation of the supply chain concept depends on its integration with contemporary challenges, such as Industry 4.0, the circular economy, and cooperation between distinct networks.

THE IMPACT OF RUMORS ON THE PRICES OF THE MOST TRADED STOCKS ON THE BRAZILIAN STOCK EXCHANGE (B3)
type: item
description: This article analyzes the role of information and the dissemination of rumors in the price dynamics of the Brazilian stock market, focusing on the relationship between financial rumors, official announcements, and fluctuations in asset prices. The study is based on an empirical approach applied to stocks listed on B3, selected according to the highest financial trading volume in the period from 2019 to 2023, including PETR4, VALE3, ITUB4, BBDC4, and MGLU3. The research uses historical price series adjusted for corporate events, such as stock splits, as well as records of rumors and official communications released to the market. The theoretical framework discusses concepts related to market efficiency, information asymmetry, and the role of corporate communication in price formation. Methodologically, computational tools are employed for data collection, processing, and integration, as well as descriptive statistical techniques and outlier identification for return analysis. The results indicate that financial rumors are associated with atypical variations in stock prices, especially when they precede official announcements, revealing stronger reactions to rumors of a negative nature. It is concluded that unofficial information exerts a relevant influence on market behavior, reinforcing the importance of informational transparency, regulatory oversight, and critical analysis by investors.

CHEMICAL PROCESSES APPLIED TO THE PRESERVATION OF ARTISANAL NATURAL JUICES
type: item
description: Chemical preservation processes constitute important tools for microbiological control and for extending the shelf life of artisanal natural juices, especially in production contexts characterized by technological and operational limitations. These methods are based on the application of chemical agents with antimicrobial activity, acting through specific mechanisms such as medium acidification, disruption of cell membranes, inhibition of essential enzymatic systems, and induction of oxidative stress, resulting in microbial inactivation or growth inhibition. Among the main chemical processes employed in juice preservation are the use of organic acids, chemical preservatives authorized by sanitary legislation, sanitizing agents applied during the hygienization of raw materials, surfaces, and equipment, as well as, in specific situations, compounds such as sulfites and oxidizing agents. The effectiveness of these processes depends on multiple factors, including the concentration of the chemical agent, contact time, pH, food matrix composition, and the intrinsic resistance of the microorganisms present. From a technological standpoint, chemical processes present relevant operational advantages, such as ease of application, relatively low cost, and high efficiency against vegetative microorganisms, which explains their widespread adoption in both industrial and artisanal systems. However, their use may be associated with important limitations, including negative impacts on sensory attributes, regulatory restrictions regarding maximum usage limits, risks arising from improper application, and increasing consumer rejection of products with added chemical substances. Moreover, chemical processes applied in isolation rarely ensure adequate levels of microbiological safety, particularly against more resistant microorganisms. Thus, the judicious and technically grounded application of chemical processes, integrated with good manufacturing practices and combined preservation s…

EMERGING AND CONVENTIONAL PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN THE PRESERVATION OF ARTISANAL NATURAL JUICES
type: item
description: Physical preservation methods play a fundamental role in reducing microbial load and extending the shelf life of artisanal natural juices, balancing microbiological safety with the preservation of the product’s sensory and nutritional characteristics. These methods operate through mechanisms of microbial inactivation or inhibition without the direct addition of chemical substances, which makes them particularly attractive in the context of artisanal production, where the perception of naturalness is highly valued by consumers. Among conventional physical processes, thermal pasteurization remains the reference technology due to its high effectiveness in inactivating pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, although it may cause nutritional losses and sensory changes when improperly applied. Low-temperature preservation methods, such as refrigeration and freezing, act mainly in an inhibitory manner, reducing microbial metabolic activity and slowing chemical and enzymatic reactions, and are more effective when combined with other technological barriers. Emerging non-thermal technologies, such as UV-C radiation, membrane filtration, high hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electric fields, and high-pressure homogenization, have been widely studied for their ability to reduce microbial load with less impact on thermosensitive compounds and sensory attributes. However, the effectiveness of these methods is strongly dependent on juice characteristics, operational conditions, and the resistance of the microorganisms present. These approaches allow the optimization of microbiological efficiency, the minimization of adverse effects on product quality, and the technical feasibility of preserving artisanal natural juices.

ANALYSIS OF FINNED HEAT PIPES HEAT EXCHANGERS USING THE THERMAL EFFICIENCY METHOD: IFHPHE VERSUS AFHPHE
type: item
description: This work compares two heat exchangers that use finned heat tubes: a crossflow finned tube heat exchanger with individual fins (IFHPHE) and an axially finned tube heat exchanger with parallel flow in the evaporator and counterflow in the condenser (AFHPHE). The IFHPHE heat exchanger was designed and experimentally implemented to operate in small air conditioning systems with air flow rates in the range of 300 to 500 m³/h. The AFHPHE heat exchanger is in the theoretical design phase and has the potential to be used in air conditioning systems for operating rooms of 60 m³, with an air flow rate of 0.20 kg/s. The method used for theoretical comparisons between heat exchangers is the thermal efficiency method, and the main quantities obtained for comparison are velocities, Nusselt numbers, thermal effectiveness, air outlet temperatures, pressure drops, and Bejan numbers in the evaporator, condenser, and heat exchanger. The working fluid used is refrigerant R404a. The saturation temperature is 17.0 °C, with a fixed number of fins for both heat exchangers, equal to 30 fins, and 49 heat pipes as standard. Comparisons demonstrate superior thermal performance and very similar viscous performance when AFHPHE is compared to IFHPHE with 30 fins. When the simulations consider 70 fins for the IFHPHE, the thermal performances are very close to those of the AFHPHE with 30 fins. However, in this last case, with 70 fins, the viscous performance is very high and should not be implemented in real-world situations. DOI: https://doi.org/10.56238/edimpacto2025.086-006

GENETIC SEQUENCING OF BRCA1 AND BRCA2 MUTATIONS AND CONDUCT, A REVIEW
type: item
description: INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer (BC) is a series of malignancies that affect the mammary gland, being the most common cancer in the world. In 2023, in Brazil, the incidence was 42 cases per 100,000 women. Modifiable risk factors include lifestyle, and non-modifiable risk factors include advancing age and genetic alterations, the main genes being BRCA1 and BRCA2. OBJECTIVE: This review aims to analyze the mutations of the main BC genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, and their relevance in medical practice. METHODS: Articles in English and Portuguese published in the last 5 years in the PubMed and Scielo databases were selected using the keywords: breast cancer, genes, and BRCA1 and BRCA2. RESULTS: Data elucidate that approximately 5 to 10% of BC cases are related to heredity, and 30% of BC patients had a positive family history. These are tumor suppressor genes responsible for the correct processing of DNA strands. When these genes repair DNA strands improperly, apoptosis occurs, which is insufficient to contain potentially oncogenic multiplication. Furthermore, approximately 75% of mutations can occur throughout life due to lifestyle and vary according to penetrance. The two genes are the most relevant, since BRCA1 has a risk of developing breast cancer of about 57 to 65% and an estimated 20 to 50% risk of ovarian cancer. While for BRCA2 the estimates are 35 to 57% and 5 to 23%, respectively; moreover, they can favor oncogenesis in other locations such as the fallopian tubes, ovaries, peritoneum, and pancreas, and in BRCA2, also melanoma. The importance of identifying these mutations lies in the possibility of clinical repercussions, such as the decision to perform risk-reducing bilateral mastectomy, oophorectomy, or annual screening with magnetic resonance imaging or transvaginal ultrasound with annual or semi-annual Doppler Doppler, or chemoprophylaxis with Tamoxifen. Another application of genetic testing is the discussion about the use of platinum agents or polymerase inhibitors…

DISSIDENT OLD AGE AND POLITICAL ABANDONMENT: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MEDIA DISCOURSE ON LGBTQIA+ AGING
type: item
description: This article analyzes journalistic discourse on the aging of the LGBTQIA+ population in Brazil, with an emphasis on the systematic absence of representations of black gay men in old age. Based on a corpus composed of articles published between 2023 and 2025, a qualitative critical-interpretative approach is adopted, grounded in post-critical and decolonial paradigms. The method used is Critical Discourse Analysis, articulated with theoretical references on body, race, sexuality, and old age. The results show the operation of a programmed invisibility, sustained by discursive silences, deserotization, and affective-political abandonment. It is concluded that media discourses produce a regulated representation of LGBTQIA+ old age, excluding subjects who deviate from the white, cisgender, and heteronormative norm. The study points to the need to reconfigure epistemologies and discursive practices that recognize the centrality of black, dissident, and aging bodies in the production of memory, desire, and citizenship.

"REVOLTA KIDS": A CHRONICLE OF A TRAGEDY FORETOLD ABOUT THE RIGHT TO CHILDHOOD AND INSTITUTIONAL CARE
type: item
description: This article discusses the realization of the right to childhood in the context of institutional care, in light of the Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA) and historical-cultural theory. It starts from the understanding that institutionalization should be an exceptional and temporary measure, aimed at the integral protection and preservation of family and community ties. Bibliographic analysis and the report of professional experience reveal that, in practice, institutional care faces challenges related to the scarcity of resources, the fragmentation of public policies, and the absence of significant affective bonds, elements that directly impact the emotional and social development of children. Episodes such as the so-called "Kids' Revolt" show that behaviors interpreted as indiscipline can represent expressions of suffering, fear, and a search for recognition. It is observed that the role of professionals, especially pedagogues and social educators, is fundamental for the construction of humanized relationships that consider the child as a historical subject and a subject of rights. It is concluded that guaranteeing the right to childhood in institutional care requires intersectoral actions, qualified training, and educational practices that promote affection, listening, and continuity in relationships.

PLAYFULNESS AND TECHNOLOGIES: GAMIFICATION IN SUPPORT OF THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
type: item
description: Playfulness is part of children's daily lives. From a very early age, students are introduced to games and toys as a form of distraction and entertainment. However, the didactic and pedagogical value of playfulness in the school environment cannot be ignored. In this perspective, this study had as its general objective to investigate how playfulness, through gamification, can contribute to the inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Elementary School. The specific objectives included: investigating the theoretical foundations related to playfulness and its relevance in the inclusion process; identifying the main needs related to the teaching and learning process of students with ASD; and identifying different gamification strategies and their applications to create a more inclusive learning environment for students with ASD in Elementary School. To this end, a bibliographical research was carried out, based on the review of theoretical literature on playfulness, gamification, and school inclusion processes for students with ASD. The criteria adopted were: studies published in the last ten years and that were relevant to a better understanding of the phenomenon investigated through the research. The results indicate that gamification, by incorporating game elements into the school environment, favors engagement, motivation and the development of social and emotional skills of students with ASD. This approach creates more welcoming environments, facilitating communication, social interaction and the understanding of complex content in an accessible and enjoyable way. It is concluded that playfulness, especially through gamification, has great potential to promote inclusion, meeting the specific needs of these students and valuing their uniqueness. The implementation of gamified strategies, combined with inclusive pedagogical practices, can transform the school environment into a more motivating, collaborative and accessible space, contributing sig…

PHYTOSANITARY STRUCTURE AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PATTERNS OF PLANT DISEASES IN AN AGROECOSYSTEM OF THE BRAZILIAN CERRADO
type: item
description: Plant diseases are one of the main limiting factors of agricultural productivity in tropical regions, due to the interaction between pathogens, hosts, and environmental conditions favorable to the development of epidemics. In this context, the present study aimed to carry out a phytosanitary mapping of diseases in tropical crops cultivated at the State University of Goiás, South Campus, Ipameri University Unit, identifying the main etiological agents, the predominant symptoms, and the environmental factors associated with their occurrence. The survey was conducted through systematic zigzag walking in three areas with different land uses, characterizing itself as observational and descriptive. The identification of diseases was based on symptomatological analysis in the field and on specialized phytopathological literature. The results showed a high diversity of diseases, with a predominance of fungal pathogens, highlighting genera such as Colletotrichum, Corynespora, Pseudocercospora, and Septoria, in addition to the recurrent occurrence of parasitic algae. Functional convergence of damage was observed, mainly associated with the formation of necrotic lesions and a reduction in the active photosynthetic area, regardless of the specific causal agent. The absence of systematized phytosanitary management favored the persistence of the inoculum and increased the local epidemiological risk. It is concluded that systematic phytosanitary surveys constitute a strategic tool for phytosanitary surveillance, supporting integrated disease management and the sustainability of tropical agroecosystems.

FRUGAL INNOVATION IN TEACHING PRACTICE FOR YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION: INCLUSION OF AUTISTIC ADULTS IN CONTEXTS OF SCARCITY
type: item
description: This article analyzes the emergence of Frugal Innovation in the teaching practice of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) as a pedagogical strategy for the inclusion of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in contexts marked by resource scarcity. This is a qualitative study of a theoretical-analytical nature, based on a critical narrative review of national and international literature on EJA, inclusive education, Frugal Innovation, and simple educational technologies. The results show that, in the face of structural precariousness, the fragility of public policies, and the insufficiency of specific teacher training, EJA teachers develop creative pedagogical practices based on the use of accessible and low-cost technologies, configuring legitimate processes of Frugal Innovation. Such practices broaden the participation, autonomy, and engagement of autistic adults, while simultaneously challenging normative curricula and denouncing the naturalization of educational precariousness. It is concluded that Frugal Innovation, far from replacing public policies, constitutes a form of curricular resistance ethically committed to social justice, neurodiversity, and the right to lifelong education.

THE USE OF PODCASTS AS A TEACHING RESOURCE IN DISTANCE EDUCATION: CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEANINGFUL LEARNING, DIGITAL LITERACY, AND STUDENT EMPOWERMENT
type: item
description: The transformations brought about by digital technologies have significantly impacted educational processes, especially in the context of Distance Education (DE), which is consolidating itself as a strategic modality for democratizing access to education. In this scenario, it becomes essential to reflect on pedagogical resources capable of promoting not only access to content, but also engagement, autonomy, and meaningful learning for students. Podcasts, as a widely disseminated digital sound medium in contemporary culture, present themselves as a promising tool for technology-mediated educational practices. This article aims to analyze the use of podcasts as a didactic resource in DE, discussing its potential and limitations with regard to meaningful learning, digital literacy, and student protagonism. Methodologically, this is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive research, based on a bibliographic review of authors who discuss Distance Education, active methodologies, digital literacy, and educational media. The results indicate that podcasts promote flexible access to knowledge, encourage authorship practices, and strengthen student engagement, provided they are integrated into intentional pedagogical planning and critically mediated by the teacher. It is concluded that podcasts are consolidating themselves as an innovative and strategic resource for distance education, articulating technology, language, and education in more inclusive, collaborative, and meaningful formative experiences.

THE REFINEMENT OF PRECARIOUS WORK AND EDUCATION AS EXPRESSED BY THE RE-SABER SYSTEM
type: item
description: This article analyzes the Re-Saber Program, established by MEC Ordinance No. 24 of January 19, 2021. The analysis of the legal framework of Re-Saber does not commit to raising the educational level of participants and relegates to a secondary position the articulation of experiential knowledge with scientific knowledge for the population destined for the most precarious work, underemployment, informality, and outsourcing. In this sense, the Re-Saber Program, by making training more precarious, contributes to the dismantling of access, retention, and academic success, while co-opting education workers into this project under the guise of being efficient, flexible, and amplifying the professional/individual status of its base team; and, lastly, it takes advantage of this opportunity to increase statistics on certification in institutions (number of enrolled students, certificates, etc.), under the pretext that there is a commitment from the State to education and to workers.

THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND CLEANING PRODUCTS: TEACHING ACID-BASE REACTIONS, STOICHIOMETRY, AND CHEMICAL BONDS THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION
type: item
description: Although it is a fundamental science for areas such as medicine and industry, the teaching of Chemistry is still dominated by a traditional model centered on the memorization of formulas, rules, and nomenclature, generally without connection to the social reality of the students. Working with the 1st year class of the technical course in Roads at the Federal Institute of Alagoas - Maceió Campus, it was found that many students viewed Chemistry as something abstract. Therefore, the PIBID scholarship holders intervened, with the support of the supervising teacher, introducing experimental practices for the production of cleaning products and corroborating the classes with the subjects of stoichiometry, inorganic functions, and chemical bonds. The analysis of the students' reports revealed that the experimental practices favored the conceptual, functional, and integrated appropriation of chemical content, frequently addressed in an abstract way in high school.

VEREDAS: CHARACTERIZATION, DISTRIBUTION AND IMPORTANCE
type: item
description: Veredas are unique formations found only in Brazil. They are a typical vegetation formation of the Cerrado. Although still little known, they contain endemic fauna and flora species. They are characterized not only by the outcrop of the aquifer, but also by soil type, phytophysiognomy, and species present. Since the first Brazilian Forest Code, veredas have been permanent preservation areas. The Forest Code establishes that veredas are considered permanent preservation areas, with a marginal strip of 50 meters from the permanently marshy or wetland area. Despite their relevance and importance, they still present problems related to conservation, demarcation, and disorderly land use and occupation. DOI: https://doi.org/10.56238/edimpacto2025.090-088

BETWEEN CHANCE AND INTENTION: ROAD TRAFFIC AS AN INVISIBLE SPACE OF SUICIDE
type: item
description: Traffic accidents are among the leading causes of preventable death worldwide and are traditionally interpreted as unintentional events resulting from human error, environmental conditions, or infrastructure deficiencies. However, scientific evidence indicates that a proportion of these deaths may correspond to intentional or semi-intentional suicidal behaviors, which are frequently rendered invisible and recorded as accidents of undetermined cause. This study aims to critically analyze the scientific evidence on the phenomenon of hidden suicide in the context of traffic, examining the relationship between suicidal ideation, risky driving behaviors, limitations in death classification systems, and implications for road safety. This is an integrative narrative review of the literature, qualitative and analytical-interpretative in nature, based on classic and contemporary studies published in national and international databases. The findings indicate recurring patterns associated with intentionality, such as single-vehicle collisions, high speed, absence of evasive maneuvers, and the selection of highly lethal scenarios, as well as a consistent association between suicidal ideation and risky driving behaviors. It is concluded that the statistical invisibility of suicide in traffic compromises epidemiological surveillance and limits preventive strategies, reinforcing the need for intersectoral approaches that integrate road safety, mental health, and public policies aimed at preventing avoidable deaths.

HUMAN MILK AND HUMAN MILK BANKS: ADVANCES, CHALLENGES, AND INNOVATIONS IN NEONATAL FOOD CONSERVATION AND SAFETY
type: item
description: Human milk is recognized as the gold standard of neonatal nutrition, especially for premature newborns, due to its nutritional composition and numerous bioactive components with immunological, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic functions. In this context, Human Milk Banks (HMBs) play a fundamental role in promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding, as well as in the collection, processing, quality control, and safe distribution of donated human milk. This study consists of a narrative literature review aiming to analyze the composition and benefits of human milk, the importance of breastfeeding in premature infants, the role of HMBs, and the conservation methods used, with an emphasis on emerging technologies such as lyophilization. The search was conducted in the PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, including articles published between 1980 and 2024. The analyzed studies show that, although Holder pasteurization is effective in ensuring microbiological safety, it can partially compromise heat-sensitive components of human milk. In this scenario, lyophilization emerges as a promising alternative, capable of extending the stability, shelf life, and preservation of the bioactive properties of human milk, as well as facilitating storage and distribution. It is concluded that human milk banks remain essential pillars of neonatal public health and that investment in technological innovation, combined with scientific research, is strategic for optimizing the conservation and utilization of donated human milk.

MEGADIVERSE COUNTRIES: AN INTEGRATIVE MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF SPECIES RICHNESS, ITS DRIVERS, AND CONSERVATION CHALLENGES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 15 – LIFE ON LAND
type: item
description: Megadiverse countries harbor the majority of the world’s biological diversity and play a pivotal role in achieving global biodiversity conservation goals. This study presents a comprehensive multivariate analysis of species richness across vascular plants and vertebrate groups in twenty megadiverse countries, examining the ecological, geographical, climatic, and evolutionary drivers underlying their exceptional biodiversity. Using comparative data on species richness, land area, and multivariate ordination techniques, we identify patterns linking tropical and subtropical climates, habitat heterogeneity, historical biogeography, and isolation processes to high levels of biodiversity and endemism. The results highlight that species richness is not strictly proportional to country size, as smaller tropical nations such as Ecuador and Malaysia exhibit disproportionately high biodiversity densities. In addition to identifying biodiversity patterns, this study discusses the major conservation challenges faced by megadiverse countries, including deforestation, habitat fragmentation, climate change, and unsustainable resource use. Framed within the context of Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land), the findings emphasize the critical importance of megadiverse countries for global biodiversity conservation and the urgent need for integrated, socially inclusive, and sustainable conservation strategies aligned with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda.

INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MAPPING OF ACTORS BY SEBRAE IN PIAUÍ AND THE MIT IECOSYSTEMS MODEL
type: item
description: Innovation ecosystems have emerged as important elements for driving economic and social development in different regions. A precise understanding of the actors and actions that constitute these ecosystems is essential to guide effective policies and strategies for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. This research aims to analyze the congruence between the actors in the local innovation ecosystem mapped by Sebrae Piauí and the MIT iEcosystems model. To this end, specific objectives were also carried out, such as identifying new actors in the state's local innovation ecosystem and evaluating the scope and representativeness of the actors mapped by Sebrae Piauí in relation to the components identified in the MIT iEcosystems model. It was concluded that the congruence between the elements and inputs of the iEcosystems methodology and the actors mapped by Sebrae is, in general, strong, with each element finding an appropriate counterpart among the actors from Sebrae. However, there are some gaps, especially in the specific details of governance and some more granular aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship that could be the subject of deeper analysis.

AGE AND WEIGHT AT FIRST SERVICE OF THE GILT TO IMPROVE HER LIFETIME PERFORMANCE
type: item
description: Swine farms show greater reproductive efficiency due to improvements in ovulation rate and litter size; however, they require a constant supply of replacement gilts because of the persistently high culling rates (40 to 50%) of sows in the breeding herd. It is recommended that gilts be selected from third-parity litters, with birth weights above 1.2 kg, achieving growth rates of 600 g/day at 140 days of age and 650 to 750 g/day at the time of first service. From 140 days of age onward, stimulation with a mature boar should begin for 15 to 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon to induce puberty between 150 and 180 days of age. Gilts should be first serviced when they reach a body weight of 135 to 150 kg, with at least 13 mm of backfat thickness (BFT), generally at the second or third estrus, around 210 to 240 days of age. Servicing gilts at a body weight between 135 and 150 kg allows them to reach approximately 180 kg at first farrowing and to have a short weaning-to-estrus interval (WEI) of 3 to 6 days, with sufficient body reserves (15–18 mm BFT) to achieve a high ovulation rate, sustain pregnancy, and produce a large litter at the second farrowing. Gilts that are too old (>250 days) and overweight at first service are at increased risk of premature culling. Premature culling is mainly due to reproductive failures and locomotor problems, although an increase in mortality rate has also been recently reported. Sows with extended reproductive longevity are often characterized by producing large litters in their first two parities. To determine the economically optimal parity at culling, the cumulative number of piglets born and weaned during the sow’s productive life in the breeding herd and the future productive potential of a replacement gilt should be considered. For a gilt to be economically profitable, she needs to achieve three to four parities, with at least 12 piglets weaned per litter. DOI: https://doi.org/10.56238/edimpacto2025.073-002
