O ensinar e o aprender das Congadas – o Terno do Prego e sua tradição através da História
(Universidade Federal de Catalão, 2025-12-10) Pereira, Marcos Guilherme Medeiros; Solazzi, José Luís; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8633725753223725; Solazzi, José Luís; Costa, Ismar da Silva; Silva, Rubens Alves da
The Rosary Festival, held for 149 years in Catalão (GO), is a ritual that combines tradition, culture and religiosity, becoming a cultural hybrid. This dissertation seeks to understand the relevance of the aesthetic and symbolic elements that are fundamental to the performance of the songs and dances at the Festival. These objects, loaded with traditional knowledge and Africanness, constitute the intangible heritage that keeps this cultural manifestation alive. It is an Afro-Catalan expression with roots in Bantu culture, whose focus is the analysis of its symbolism. Based on the impact of tradition on the construction of ethnicity and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge, the Congadas fight for the valorization of their culture. Living the Festival since 1999 and following its transformations led me to reflect on the role of the Rosary Festival in Catalan sociability, as well as on the reasons why the Terno do Prego is so revered. After joining the Academy, my doubts and reflections about the Terno do Prego – created in the city center and linked to a black family – grew. This terno, which has stood out among the others for almost 70 years, raises questions about its notoriety and how the knowledge associated with it is passed on in a place of culture that seeks to preserve tradition. Although the Festival has transformed over time, the Terno do Prego remains hegemonic. Despite having undergone transformations, these changes reinforce its historic combative power in relation to others. This study reveals how this culture, these practices and policies of ethnicity can be understood, in historical-cultural dynamics imbued with resistance, beliefs, habits and customs, which are essential for the participants and the community in general.
Políticas públicas de saúde e o enfrentamento a pandemia da COVID-19 na região de saúde da Estrada de Ferro e em em Catalão (GO): análise comparativa entre os anos de 2019 à 2023
(Universidade Federal de Catalão, 2025-05-27) Ferreira, Mayana de Souza; Silva, Magda Valéria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3647969556096331; Silva, Magda Valéria da; Stacciarini, José Henrique Rodrigues; Rodrigues, Maria José
This research presents the final results of the study titled “Public Health Policies and Addressing the COVID-19 Pandemic in Catalão (GO): A Comparative Analysis Between 2019 and 2022.” The study is justified by considering the analysis of geographic data on public health policies established before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Estrada de Ferro Health Region, in the state of Goiás, with the municipality of Catalão as the main object of study. The primary objective of this work is to understand how the State responded to the pandemic and whether the investiments in equipment, infrastructure and professional training made during the pandemic have been maintained in the healthcare units assisted at that time. The specific objectives propose to understand, from a geographical perspective, the concept of public policies and public health policies in Brazil, as well as the decentralization, structuring, and regionalization of the Unifield Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS), to analyze public health policies during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, and to examine the context of the pandemic in Brazil, includind the (dis)unified actions in health territories and public investiments from 2019 in tackling COVID-19 in the Estrada de Ferro Health Region and Catalão (GO). Methodologically, the study prioritized a qualitative approach, featuring bibliographic research. The results indicate that the lack od effective public directy imapcts structural disparities and the effectiveness of pandemic response and health crisis management. This is particularly evident in the construction or renovation of health units, the acquisition of supplies, and the hiring of professionals. Although public resources allocated by the Ministry of Health and the Unified Health System to combat the pandemic were higher compared to some previous years (2019-2022), the study the importance of continuing preventive actions and restructuring the healthcare system. This reinforces the need for public policies that ensure healthcare quality in the face of future emergencies.
Legitimação do Direito de pessoas com deficiência à acessibilidade na pós-graduação da UFCAT
(Universidade Federal de Catalão, 2025-05-30) Souza, Joaquim de Assis; Resende, Wanessa Ferreira Borges; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8832656114320939; Resende, Wanessa Ferreira Borges; Silva, Wellington Jhonner Divino Barbosa da; Cabral, Leonardo Santos Amâncio
This dissertation investigated the legitimation of the right of persons with disabilities to accessibility in graduate education at the Federal University of Catalão – UFCAT. The general objective was to identify and analyze factors that constitute the legitimation of the right of persons with disabilities to accessibility in stricto sensu Graduate Programs at UFCAT. The research is a descriptive case study, with a qualitative approach. Data production was carried out in person at UFCAT through three brainstorming meetings addressing access, admission, and permanence/degree completion. Participants included representatives of the Dean’s Office for Research, Graduate Studies, and Innovation - PROPESQ and two Graduate Programs - PPG 1 and PPG 2 in the broad field of Human Sciences. The participants comprised two representatives of PROPESQ; four representatives from PPG 1 (a graduate program coordinator, a technical-administrative staff member, a student, and a professor); and one professor from PPG 2. The data were systematized based on the methodology of the Nuclei of Meanings. The analyses pointed to institutional advances in the field of accessibility, while also highlighting the need for improvements in public and institutional policies to ensure continuous support. Policies and actions related to accessibility in graduate studies at UFCAT were identified: a) Spontaneous adjustments: PPG 1 as a pioneer in implementing supplementary slots for students with disabilities, even before official institutional regulations; b) Curricular differentiation and accessibility: adjustments in teaching methods and strategies, extended deadlines, and adaptation of teaching resources by professors and coordinators; c) Role of the Accessibility Center: identification, mediation, and articulation of offers and demands of students with disabilities, including individualized and institutional support when necessary; and d) Collaborative and cooperative practices: joint actions among professors, technical staff, and students to ensure accessibility. Although cultural, economic, and structural challenges are still present in the organization and functioning of the Graduate Programs, institutional policies and practices have demonstrated a growing commitment to access, accessibility, and the process of making accessibility effective for students with and without disabilities. Considering otherness as one of the pillars of the civic recognition of differences, potentialities, and needs, it is essential that good accessibility practices be recognized and reinforced, while discriminatory practices be identified, revised, and modified in the systematization of accessibility practices within the culture of graduate programs.
Ensino investigativo do eletromagnetismo pela abordagem ISLE
(Universidade Federal de Catalão, 2025-08-27) Santana, Isaque Alcântara; Souza, Eduardo Sérgio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6686846929208143; Souza, Eduardo Sérgio de; Sales, Nilva Lúcia Lombardi; Jesus, Denis Rezende de
In this work, an investigative approach to teaching electromagnetism is proposed, and the results of its application in a public high school setting are reported. The objective of the study is to evaluate students’ understanding of electromagnetism concepts by analyzing the scientific skills they develop when engaging in an instructional method that mirrors the practices of scientists—namely, through investigation, experimentation, and collaboration. For this purpose, the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE), developed by Eugenia Etkina, was adopted as the pedagogical framework. To implement this approach in physics education, a series of investigative experimental activities addressing topics related to electromagnetism was designed. These activities were consolidated into an Educational Product, which was applied to a second-year high school class consisting of 31 students at a State Military Police School located in Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás. The study was conducted during the first semester of 2024. Initially, students were introduced to the ISLE methodology, followed by the application of the developed experimental activities. Through these activities, students—working collaboratively in groups of five to six—were encouraged to make observations, identify patterns in experimental data, formulate hypotheses to explain these patterns, and make predictions based on their hypotheses. Subsequently, they tested their predictions and hypotheses through further experimentation. Data collection involved direct observation, analysis of students’ written notes, oral presentations, formulated hypotheses, and final conclusions. The findings indicate a high level of student engagement with the investigative practical activities, as well as a noticeable increase in motivation and participation when compared to traditional lecture-based instruction. Moreover, the results suggest that students were capable of independently proposing explanations for observed phenomena without direct teacher intervention. However, analysis of the scientific skills developed—based on a formative assessment framework employing rubrics—revealed that students experienced difficulties both in generating predictions derived from their hypotheses and in designing effective experiments to test them.
Síntese e caracterização de óxido de nióbio para aplicação fotovoltaica
(Universidade Federal de Catalão, 2025-08-18) Borges, Ana Paula Aparecida; Oliveira, Jocélia Pereira de Carvalho; Godinho Junior, Mário; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8364676654739392; Godinho Júnior, Mário; Silva, Elenice Maria Schons; Rodrigues, Murillo Henrique de Matos
This work presents the synthesis and characterization of niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) with potential application in photovoltaic devices, using ammonium niobium oxalate as a precursor and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent. Thermal precipitation routes (90 °C) and microwave-assisted hydrothermal treatment (120 °C/1h) were employed, followed by calcination at 550 °C and 600 °C. The innovation of this study lies in the simplicity and low cost of the method, which enabled the formation of the pseudo-hexagonal crystalline phase (TT-Nb₂O₅) at moderate temperatures, without the need for complex synthetic routes. Thermal analyses (TG/DSC) indicated thermal stability above 400 °C, with exothermic events associated with phase transition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of the TT-Nb₂O₅ phase with crystallite sizes around 24 nm. Spectroscopic techniques (Raman, FTIR, and UV-Vis) revealed characteristic vibrational bands of Nb–O and Nb=O bonds, as well as an optical band gap ranging from 3.78 to 4.02 eV, consistent with semiconductor materials. SEM and TEM images showed spherical, agglomerated, and nanoscale particles (<25 nm), while SAED analyses evidenced the evolution of crystallinity. Chemical composition assessed by EDS indicated high purity, with Nb and O contents close to stoichiometric values. The results demonstrate that the synthesized Nb₂O₅ exhibits structural, optical, and morphological properties suitable for use as an electron transport layer (ETL) or hole-blocking layer (HBL) in perovskite and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), contributing to the development of high-efficiency, low-cost photovoltaic technologies.
