Dengue transmission occurs mainly in temperate and tropical areas within the vector's range, with local variations, influenced by rainfall, temperature and rapid and unplanned urbanization of cities, as occurs in the state of Maranhão. The present study aimed to verify the population's level of knowledge about dengue in the municipality of Lago do Junco, state of Maranhão. Data collection was carried out through the application of a closed questionnaire, containing 20 multiple-choice questions, in urban and rural areas of the municipality, from February to May 2024. The study involved the participation of 264 participants, with the majority female (62.10%), aged between 35 and 59 years old (37.00%), having completed secondary education (26.10%) and working as a farmer (43.90%). Of the total respondents, 98.90% had already heard about dengue and 87.90% said they had not been diagnosed with the disease. Despite this, 26.10% of those interviewed believed in the occurrence of dengue cases in the municipality during the study period. Regarding the causative agent of arbovirus, 48.90% responded that the disease is caused by a virus and 43.10% responded that the scientific name of the disease-causing agent is Dengue virus. The majority of respondents (93.20%) correctly answered that high fever with sudden onset and intense headache are some of the symptoms of the disease. Regarding transmission, 64.80% correctly answered that it occurs through the bite of female mosquitoes of the species Ae. aegypti. Finally, when asked whether the disease vector must necessarily be infected to be able to transmit it, 59.80% of participants correctly answered yes. The present study allowed us to verify that the majority of interviewees from Lago do Junco, state of Maranhão, have a satisfactory level of knowledge about dengue. However, the importance of providing greater access to educational activities is highlighted, so that the population acquires even more comprehensive knowledge about the disease. 2025-05-22T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5625 Título: Perfil epidemiológico e padrões espaciais da doença de chagas no Estado do Maranhão entre os anos de 2001 e 2020 Abstact: Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected parasitic disease, caused by the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (CHAGAS, 1909). In the state of Maranhão, the disease does not have a clear pattern of distribution. The present study aimed to discuss the epidemiological aspects and spatial distribution of Chagas disease in the state of Maranhão, between the years 2001 and 2020. Acute cases of CD obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System database were analyzed. (SINAN). The following variables were analyzed: year of notification, sex, age group, race/color, area of residence, likely location of infection, mode of infection, autochthonous case, criteria and evolution of the case. To examine whether there was a difference in the medians of confirmed cases by age group, race/color, mode of infection and confirmation criteria, the Kruskal-Wallis (H) analysis was used. To examine whether there was a difference in the medians of confirmed cases by sex, area of residence, place of infection, autochthonous case and case evolution, the Mann-Whitney (U) test was used. The significance level adopted was 5% (p < 0.05). To create maps of the regions of Maranhão, the software QGIS 3.14 was used. The calculation of spatial autocorrelation and covariance based on the product of deviations in relation to the mean was carried out using the Moran’s index (I) Global Moran index. 77 cases of acute CD were confirmed from 2001 to 2020 in the state. The majority of cases were reported in males (45 cases; 58.5%; U = 179.5; p = 0.28), aged between 20 and 39 years (26 cases; 34.6%; H = 28.4; p = 0.0008), in individuals of mixed race/color (41 cases; 53.6%; H = 26.7; p < 0.0001), in individuals living in rural areas (33 cases; 68.8%; H = 11.36; p = 0.0034), with the home as the place of infection (40 cases; 71.5%; U = 165.0; p = 0.11), form of oral infection (43 cases; 68.4%; U = 168.0; p = 0.13) and diagnosis laboratory (69 cases; 93.2%; U = 88.0; p = 0.0001). Autochthonous cases predominated (50 cases, 86.8%; U = 163.5; p = 0.08), while for case evolution the prevalence of survival was verified (55 cases; 90.2%; U = 169, 5; p = 0.11). The spatial autocorrelation was random, with global Moran values between 0.013 and 0.001 (Municipalities), 0.100 and 0.185 (Macroregion), 0.114 and 0.100 (Microregion) and 0.141 and 0.087 (Immediate Region), however, the formation of significant clusters. Identification of the epidemiological profile of CD in the state of Maranhão is extremely important to generate information for health surveillance, as well as to motivate discussion about new intervention alternatives for preventing the disease. 2025-05-22T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5553 Título: O ensino das classes gramaticais a partir do gênero notícia: uma proposta pedagógica aplicada no 9º ano do ensino fundamental na Escola Unidade Integrada Professora Josefa Agostinho Pereira em Lago da Pedra-MA Abstact: This project proposes the use of the "news" textual genre as a teaching tool for contextualized grammar teaching, promoting more meaningful learning aligned with students' realities. Based on the dialogic perspective of language, according to Bakhtin (2016), and the studies of Antunes (2014), Marcuschi (2008), and Bezerra (2007), the teaching sequence proposed by Zabala (1998) is adopted as a methodological framework. This qualitative research uses bibliographic and field methods, aiming at the comprehensive development of students and the development of a critical, reflective, and socially committed pedagogical practice. We also seek to demonstrate the possibilities for developing grammar teaching through this written genre, in which we obtained positive results. The adopted methodological approach, based on collaborative activities and writing, research, linguistic analysis, and textual review, promoted a more contextualized learning of grammar as a tool for producing meaning. This approach was based on a pedagogical approach aimed at 9th-grade students at a public school in the municipality of Lago da Pedra, Maranhão. The results obtained throughout the research process were qualitatively analyzed. The data reveal that grammar teaching, when combined with written textual genres, is an effective method, as it involves different cognitive and linguistic processes. Therefore, the aim is to answer the following question: How can we contextualize the teaching of grammatical classes: noun, verb, adverb, and pronoun, based on the production of the textual genre "news"? Thus, the use of the "news" genre, in line with the students' social context, provides the possibility of more meaningful teaching and learning, potentially fostering real changes through the use of language. 2025-03-14T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5551 Título: A relação trauma-aprendizagem em Ciranda de Pedra: um romance de formação Abstact: This study is structured around the work Ciranda de Pedra by Lygia Fagundes Telles, focusing on the character Virgínia, a young woman who undergoes various traumatic experiences throughout her journey. The analysis addresses social themes and issues, particularly concerning family structure, family breakdown, patriarchal and controlling systems, adultery, self-exclusion, identity crises, grief, and overcoming adversity. The research adopts a qualitative and bibliographic approach. Initially, it was essential to examine the novel's context in relation to the author's historical background, considering Brazil's intense political climate marked by authoritarianism and censorship. The objective was to demonstrate how Virgínia acquires knowledge through traumatic experiences, linking her trajectory to the representation of a Bildungsroman. The primary focus for achieving this goal relies on psychoanalytic theory, particularly Freud’s (1923) concepts of the ego, id, and superego. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Telles’ work by examining the struggles of a bourgeois family in the 1940s as it collapses due to adultery, all from the perspective of Virgínia—a product of this "sin." The findings highlight the challenges faced by Virgínia and the lessons she gains from these traumatic experiences 2025-03-27T00:00:00Z
