This article explored the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in librarianship, analyzing its opportunities and challenges. The research highlighted how AI redefines library operations, improving efficiency in organizing collections and personalizing user service. Furthermore, it addressed the need for professionals to acquire new skills in AI and ensure ethics in the use of data. The implementation of ethical guidelines was emphasized to maximize the benefits of AI while preservi...
How do Indigenous women in Northeastern Brazil construct and practise self-care in relation to their reproductive health? This question frames the central concern of the present monograph. Drawing on a bibliographic review, the study analyses the worldviews of four Indigenous peoples located in the states of Bahia, Pernambuco and Ceará: the Tupinambá of Serra do Padeiro, the Pankararu, the Tapeba and the Tremembé. The aim is to understand the conceptual context that underpins the ways in...
This study aimed to understand how women assisted by a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) relate to food, eating, and corporeality. This descriptive-exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, was conducted with eight women users of a CAPS in the city of Salvador (Bahia, Brazil), who participated in the therapeutic group "Para Elas." The main data production technique used was the episodic interview, complemented by participant observation and medical record analysis. Data analysis w...
La thèse cherchait à discuter de manière critique de l'existence d'une structure de pouvoir qui discrimine sur la base de la race/couleur, en se concentrant sur les archives et les témoignages sur la présence de femmes noires dans le premier hôpital psychiatrique de Bahia, l'Asilo São João de Deus, ouvert à la fin. du XIXe siècle, quelques années avant l'abolition de l'esclavage au Brésil ; plus tard, au début du XXe siècle, cette institution fut rebaptisée Hospital Psiquiátrico Juliano Morei...
This dissertation investigates the MC Battles in Salvador as spaces of critical racial literacy and performances of Blackness by Afro-Brazilian youth from Salvador. The research seeks to understand how these young people produce, negotiate, and circulate signs of Blackness, gender, and sexuality in these cultural encounters. The theoretical framework draws on Aparecida de Jesus Ferreira’s formulations on critical racial literacy, Ana Lúcia Silva Souza’s concept of literacies of r...
Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare clonal neoplasm of the mononuclear phagocyte system characterized by proliferation of CD1a⁺/Langerin⁺ myeloid dendritic cells and activating mutations in the MAPK/ERK pathway (such as BRAF V600E and MAP2K1). Involvement of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis occurs in up to 30% of cases, presenting as arginine-vasopressin (AVP) deficiency—classically known as central diabetes insipidus (CDI)—often with panhypopituitarism. In adults, isol...
In this master’s dissertation, we characterize the most general one-dimensional Brownian motion under some Markovian behavior at zero via the study of its infinitesimal generators. The class of processes here considered is defined as the class of diffusion processes that behave as the absorbed Brownian Motion up to the hitting time of zero, and at zero the process has some (Markovian) behavior, which includes jumping to an extra absorbing point ∆ called cemetery. Carefully adapting techniques...
Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients who underwent pediatric cataract surgery at a university hospital serving as a referral center in Ophthalmology. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, retrospective, and observational study conducted in the Pediatric Ophthalmology Department of Professor Edgar Santos University Hospital (HUPES/UFBA) between July 2017 and June 2023. Medical records of patients diagnosed with pediatric cataract and treated sur...
This dissertation investigates the intertwinings between Dance and Yoga through a critical, historical, and autobiographical approach, proposing a sensitive listening to the body as a territory of creation, pedagogy, and care. The research, developed within the Graduate Program in Dance at the Federal University of Bahia (2022–2025), is rooted in the artistic-pedagogical experience with the project Fuja: Body, Movement, and Yoga, integrating practices of vinyāsa yoga, dance improvisation, and...
Belly dance festivals in Brazil began in the 1990s and have grown in popularity in recent years. However, as a Black woman, dancer, teacher, and researcher of belly dance, I noticed that when observing the arts promoted in the media and the teachers featured in national festival programs, the dominant body standard did not represent bodies like mine. The profile of the people I saw in prominent positions in this environment consisted predominantly of white, cisgender, and slender women, who r...
Description of the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients undergoing corneal transplant surgery at the Professor Edgar Santos University Hospital of the Federal University of Bahia – HUPES (UFBA), between January 2017 and December 2023.
The work investigates the possible intersections, approximations and tensions between two artistic expressions that seek modernity while considering memory, tradition and the search for their cultural identity as their starting point. Both Afro dance and Butoh have many similarities. Through research, the concepts of axé (in Afro dance) and ki (in Butoh) are juxtaposed to perceive possible approximations and separations, considering them as energies that drive movement. At the same time,...
Introduction: Competency-based medical education is consolidated in national/international guidelines; in Brazil, National Commission on Medical Residency (CNRM) issued a specialty-specific Competency Matrix. Local evidence on adherence in Ophthalmology is needed. Objective: To assess adherence to the CNRM Matrix in Ophthalmology residency programs in Bahia, describe strengths and gaps by year, and test whether prior reading of the Matrix is associated with higher mastery. Methods: A cross-se...
This research proposes to investigate women who record their issues in the relationship between dancer and camera in female self-portraits. Starting from the question, how does the creation of images of women who self-portray their individualities in the relationship between dancer and camera happen? I justify that the research is necessary due to the importance of questioning the female presence in more academic records and highlighting women in the artistic scene. The desire for this w...
Introduction: Strabismus is an ocular motility disorder affecting 2% to 5% of the global population, characterized by a loss of ocular alignment. Its functional and psychosocial impact underscores the need for individualized treatment. Among the therapeutic options, unilateral horizontal rectus muscle surgery is indicated for moderate deviations. However, the absence of surgical dosage tables based on local case series, particularly within Brazilian public services, hinders teaching and the s...
Fiscal policy interventions are frequently prescribed to attenuate fluctuations in economic activity. Reliance on fiscal initiatives is particularly recommended during severe recessions when monetary policy has limited efficacy. Nevertheless, empirical evidence from emerging economies indicates that public expenditures frequently exhibit a procyclical behavior, and fiscal imbalances may trigger economic crises. This paper applies a dynamic factor model to derive an index of the public sector ...
While a vast literature has shown that population aging reduces productivity and slows down economic growth, the evidence on the impact of aging on business cycles’ volatility is scarce. Population aging compromises the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy and affects the labor market’s dynamics, which may lead to increased macroeconomic volatility. However, economic agents’ behavioral changes due to increased longevity may produce more stable business cycles. Building on a previou...
