Over the last few decades, Brazil has demonstrated a privileged position in the global energy scenario. The country's energy matrix is diversified, with emphasis on the participation of renewable energies, which represent a significant portion of total energy production. Thus, the present research aimed to analyze the main challenges and opportunities for Brazil in the future as a potential energy generator. To this end, a literature review was carried out and, as a result, it was possible to verify that Brazil has opportunities and challenges in the sustainable energy sector. The main energy sources analyzed were hydroelectric, biomass, solar, wind and tidal. In this scenario, the diversification of the energy matrix, with a focus on renewable sources, is important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost sustainable development in the country. The country has a biodiversity that contributes to the promotion of sustainable energies, such as an extensive coastline and regions with favorable winds, mainly in the Northeast and South. However, overcoming challenges such as start-up costs, infrastructure, and regulation is essential for the success of the country's energy transition, which can attract investment, drive innovation, and strengthen global competitiveness.
The objective of this research was to analyze the historical perspectives of social, environmental and corporate governance (ESG) and the main changes in organizations. This was an integrative literature review. Data were collected through a survey of the Google Scholar and Scielo databases, using specific keywords and search criteria in conciliation with the descriptors "AND" and "OR". Analyses of corporate sustainability and environmental compliance show their growing importance in the contemporary business scenario. Environmental compliance emerges as an essential tool to ensure compliance with environmental standards, mitigate legal risks and promote ethical management. These approaches reflect a paradigm shift in business practices, prioritizing social and environmental impact. By taking a holistic view, businesses can improve their financial performance and contribute to sustainable development. Despite the challenges in implementing compliance and sustainable practices, the benefits are evident, strengthening credibility, attracting investors aligned with corporate values and ensuring long-term success in an increasingly conscious context on social and environmental issues.
The present research aimed to analyze the challenges and opportunities of full-time education, from the perspective of Teixeira (2007). To this end, a literature review was carried out, where it was possible to verify that the conception of integral education evidences the importance of teacher training, complementarity between home and school, and preschool education. The implementation of the comprehensive school presents challenges related to planning, time management, and infrastructure, but also offers opportunities to expand teaching and cover the physical, cognitive, intellectual, affective, social, and ethical aspects of students. Despite the challenges, the implementation of the comprehensive school seeks to offer a more complete and enriching education, promoting the integral development of students. Overcoming difficulties allows for an education that prepares students for the future. Collaboration between teachers, partnership with parents, and valuing preschool education are key to the success of this educational model. In addition, educators must work collaboratively, integrating different areas of knowledge and adapting their pedagogical practices.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência de síndrome de Burnout e estresse ocupacional em profissionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Para a realização da pesquisa, utilizou-se o método de revisão sistemática nas plataformas Scielo e Google Acadêmico. O levantamento dos artigos englobou a utilização de palavras-chave em associação de operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”. Foram selecionados somente os artigos de nacionalidade brasileira publicados entre os anos de 2020 e 2023. Como resultado, constatou-se que os estudos sobre a Síndrome de Burnout entre profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) destaca a prevalência dessa condição e seus impactos diversos. A pesquisa enfatiza a relação entre fatores organizacionais e a Síndrome de Burnout, especialmente entre os gerentes da ESF, ressaltando a necessidade de medidas como a reorganização do trabalho e estímulo ao ambiente cooperativo. Outros estudos corroboram a importância de ações preventivas, destacando a necessidade de reduzir o estresse laboral e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos profissionais. Estratégias que promovem ambientes de trabalho saudáveis, controle do estresse e formação contínua surgem como fundamentais para enfrentar a Síndrome de Burnout. A análise reforça a correlação entre a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) e os sintomas de Burnout, indicando que abordagens efetivas para melhorar as condições laborais são estratégias preventivas cruciais. Além disso, destaca-se a fase de residência na área de saúde como um período crítico, evidenciando a necessidade de medidas preventivas e apoio emocional. Em síntese, os estudos convergem para a urgência de implementar medidas proativas, incluindo intervenções organizacionais, suporte psicológico e promoção da qualidade de vida, para preservar a saúde mental e o comprometimento profissional dos profissionais da ESF, contribuindo para a eficácia dos serviços de saúde prestados à população.

Objective: The study investigated the intersection between Industry 4.0 and biotechnology, with the aim of analyzing how these areas converge to promote innovation and sustainability in contemporary industry. Methodology: An integrative review approach was adopted, using several SciELO and Google Academic databases As an inclusion criterion, Brazilian articles were selected in Portuguese and published between 2020 and 2023. Results and data analysis: The results highlighted significant advances, such as advanced automation, artificial intelligence and 3D printing in Industry 4.0, that not only optimize industrial production, but also strengthen sustainable practices by reducing waste and improving the use of natural resources. Biotechnology has emerged as an essential pillar, offering solutions such as bioprinting and cellular therapies, expanding the possibilities for sustainable product development. Despite the benefits, ethical and regulatory challenges have been identified that require appropriate government policies and innovation strategies to ensure the ethical use of these technologies. Conclusion: In conclusion, the convergence between Industry 4.0 and biotechnology not only redefines modern industry standards, but also establishes a new sustainable innovation paradigm, contributing to a more responsible and competitive future globally.
Este artigo aborda a aplicabilidade do método 5S como ferramenta de gestão da qualidade contínua voltada à otimização dos serviços na construção civil. O objetivo foi analisar como a implementação dos 5S contribui para a organização, eficiência e segurança no ambiente de trabalho nos canteiros de obras. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo 12 profissionais atuantes em diferentes obras no setor da construção civil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários semi-estruturados e analisados com base na percepção dos profissionais sobre os impactos da metodologia 5S em suas rotinas. Os resultados demonstraram que a prática dos 5S promove melhorias significativas na organização, na redução de desperdícios e na segurança dos trabalhadores. Conclui-se que a adoção do método 5S é uma estratégia eficaz para impulsionar a gestão da qualidade no setor da construção civil, sendo recomendada sua aplicação sistemática nos processos produtivos.
