Starting from the premise that children can challenge adult-centric logics and offer new ways of thinking and making cities, this thesis aims to investigate how children “sentipensar” the city, a notion inspired by Borda (2009) and Escobar (2014), which considers the integration of thought and feeling in the process of perceiving and understanding the world. Simultaneously, the research also sought to understand how the interaction between the researcher and the children transforms the way th...
This thesis consists of investigating the process of creation and trajectory of the policy established for students in public higher education, taking as a time frame the publication of Law n.º 13.458/2015, known as the Mais Futuro Law, a normative instrument that influenced and influences the debate about affirmative actions, more specifically student assistance and retention, within the scope of Bahian state universities. Objective to understand the process of creation and trajectory of the...
The study of medicinal plants establishes interdependence between chemistry and medicine, driving the development of new drugs. This field of research is particularly relevant in countries with high biodiversity, such as Brazil, which has scarce scientific studies proving the efficacy and safety of these natural resources. In this context, the plant Ctenodon martii, collected in the Contendas do Sincorá National Forest, in Bahia, showed in “in vivo” studies antinociceptive and anti-inflammato...
This study investigates the environmental factors associated with canine leptospirosis in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Canine leptospirosis, caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, is a significant zoonosis for public health due to its potential for transmission to humans. The tropical climate of Salvador, characterized by high humidity and elevated temperatures, along with the rainy season, creates favourable conditions for the proliferation of Leptospira. Deficient urban infrastructure a...
This paper aims to model the change in the productive structure of Bahia state resulting from the recycling of municipal solid waste generated in the city of Salvador. For this, the technological routes of mechanical recycling and energy recycling were considered. The input-output analysis was used to simulate the change in the technological structure of inputs provided by the adoption of each route. The results show that mechanical recycling is more efficient, both from an economic poin...
Recent data from PNAID (2023) show that illiteracy rates among individuals aged 15 and older are significantly higher among Black and Brown populations. According to INEP (2024), age–grade distortion rates are also higher for Black and Brown students compared to White students, particularly in the early years of schooling. These alarming figures motivated this doctoral research, whose general objective is to understand the literacy process of a Black girl living in poverty, experiencing age–g...
The city, as man-made space, serves as a reflection of society in a moment of history. From enslavement to present-day capitalism, socioeconomic models (the result of man's relationships in society) have been spatially expressed in the city, in the urban forms and functions. This means that, in order to analyze the current city, it is necessary to understand both the current and the past socioeconomic relations, understanding time as linear as the succession of events that impact space and ha...
The healthcare of Women Who Have Sex with Women (WSW) is essential for planning individualized care, which should be implemented based on the specific needs of this group. The issue of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among WSW remains neglected. There is a widespread misconception that sex between women is inherently safer, yet the risk of STI transmission persists. WSW continue to be invisible in public health policies. Given this scenario, there is an urgent need for research th...
Through walks along the Estrada Real of Bahia, a stretch connecting the municipalities of Livramento and Rio de Contas (BA), I collect “traces,” material remnants used in the development of a poetic inquiry within the field of visual arts. This research seeks to investigate the memories of the territory, approaching memory not as a static reproduction of the past but as a dynamic construction that can be reworked through individual experiences. In this poetic construction, memory acquires new...
This research investigated the relationship between the Deixa Ela Em Paz collective, public space, activism, and feminism within the field of visual arts. The cartographic method was adopted, enabling the continuous construction and reconstruction of the investigative process, along with procedures such as systematic bibliographic review, documentary research, semi-structured interviews, and the analysis and synthesis of the collected material. Public spaces were understood as political arena...
This thesis is the result of practical and theoretical research into the processes of artistic creation. Based on what I call Amefrican religions, I highlight, specifically, the living experiences at the Caboclo Sultão das Matas Umbanda Terreiro, located in the city of Juazeiro-BA, in the heart of the São Francisco Valley. Starting from on studies of sacred settlements and the elements that make them up, I emphasise the presence of itás/otás/okutás (sacred stones) in order to create bodies-ob...
Understanding the Health Literacy (HL) could contribute to men living with HIV/AIDS developing better conditions for self-management of the disease, as it is a strategy that promotes greater understanding among individuals about their health condition, encouraging adherence to treatment and empowering them to make decisions about caring for their health. Thus, the objective was to analyze HL centered on AIDS self- management in hospitalized men, specifically determining the degree o...
This course completion work aims to analyze the pattern of socio-digital exclusion in the outskirts of Salvador, considering the context of the development of the creative economy in the city. Socio-digital exclusion refers to the lack of access and skills to use digital technologies, in the case of the creative economy, these are activities that project innovation, sustainability, creation, networking and a focus on the dev...
This text explores artistic practice based on a trajectory and experiences that focus on a discussion in/about Group Theater and Creation Processes and access to theatrical dissemination spaces. Upon entering the Regional University of Cariri, I came across the region's effervescent theater scene, particularly fascinated by the Coletivo Dama Vermelha, of which I have been a member since 2016. In this context, the research in question proposes a historiography of the creative processes an...
Nitrogen markers (N-markers), such as carbazoles, benzocarbazoles and their alkylated isomers, are specific to a small fraction of the chemical composition of petroleum and/or source rock extract (<4.0%), but can provide information on the origin, migration, depositional environment and maturity of petroleum, being evaluated in isolation and/or through diagnostic ratios. Presented in petroleum samples and source rock extracts mainly in aromatic and heterocyclic structures, the identification ...
The teaching sequence is the result of research developed in the National Network of Mathematics Graduate Programs (PROFMAT) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). It was conducted at a public school in the municipality of Valença, Bahia, with a third-year high school class. Inspired by Critical Mathematics Education, the sequence highlights the role of mathematics as a tool for understanding and interacting with the world, integrating mathematical knowledge with essential skills for plan...
In the second half of the 20th century, percussion in Salvador, Bahia, became a central space for cultural expression among Afro-descendants and popular classes, from the perspective of Paulo Freire and Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, or among subaltern groups, according to Gramsci, Spivak, and Mignolo. This dissertation analyzes the musical knowledge produced by the percussion movement Vai Quem Vem, created in the 1980s in the Candeal neighborhood of Salvador. Its main objective is to understand t...

Face detection and recognition algorithms have been widely adopted in a diversity of applications, such as social networks that automatically detect and recognize every person present in published images. However, with the growing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in general, questions related to the existence of biases began to arise. In many situations, it was found that there were biases affecting historically oppressed minorities. As an example, there was racial bias in ...
