Eficiência produtiva e riscos para propriedades leiteiras: uma revisão integrativa
(2021-09-14) Bassotto, Leandro Carvalho; Lopes, Marcos Aurélio; Brito, Mozar José de; Benedicto, Gideon Carvalho de
The operational efficiency is essential for the development of the dairy farming, and it is connected to factor of production as land, labor, and capital. The misuse of these resources may afford risks to milk production due to the possible increase of operational inefficiency. Because of this, it was proposed to analyze the connection between operational efficiency and risks by developing a framework that composes different research associated with dairy farming. Qualitative research was carried out using the integrative literature review technique from four papers about the efficiency and risks in dairy farms from the state of Minas Gerais. These papers were found in databases Web of Science and Scopus from 2010 to 2020. Through the strategic efficiency and risk management framework, the main characteristics that make up the efficiency of dairy farms and the risks that may impact them, as well as the future prospects to the milk agribusiness, were identified. It is necessary new research that investigates how the risks that appear with the growth in the level of specialization, professional training, and the production frontier may impact the development and the risks in the dairy farms. This research contributes to the advancement of scientific knowledge about the efficiency and risks in Brazilian dairy farms and helps the milk producers to identify which are the greatest risks of milk production.

Políticas públicas: um olhar para o Plano de recomposição das aprendizagens
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2026-05-29) Moriconi, Sílvia Maria Balbino; Cabral, Giovanna Rodrigues; Arcas, Paulo Henrique; Lima, Carla da Conceição de
This dissertation analyzes how Portuguese language teachers in the state education network of Minas Gerais understand and experience the Learning Recovery Plan (Plano de Recomposição das Aprendizagens – PRA), a public policy implemented by the State Department of Education in 2023 to address educational gaps exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The general objective is to analyze teachers‘ perceptions of the implementation of the PRA and its implications for pedagogical work. Specifically, the study aims to: contextualize the plan within the set of educational policies in Minas Gerais guided by external assessments; examine its objectives, strategies, and assumptions based on academic research and official guidelines; understand, through interviews, how teachers assess the implementation of the PRA and its effects on pedagogical practice; identify the Portuguese language skills considered priorities; and develop an educational product grounded in the research findings. Based on studies addressing the right to education and educational quality, this qualitative study employs bibliographic and documentary research, as well as a field study. Group interviews were conducted with seven Portuguese language teachers from three state schools monitored by the Regional Education Superintendency of São João del-Rei. The data were examined through content analysis using a cross-cutting thematic approach. The bibliographic review revealed a limited number of studies on the PRA, mostly focused on its initial implementation, whereas the documentary analysis highlighted the central role of assessments, the prioritization of skills, and the monitoring of learning in the organization of the plan. The interviews indicated that the participants recognize the relevance of the PRA but also identify challenges such as the delayed arrival of instructional materials, the removal of students from the classroom during regular school hours, weak curricular articulation, and the persistence of substantial learning gaps. Among the most impaired skills, the ability to distinguish between fact and opinion and to identify the central theme of a text stood out. These findings are consistent with the documents analyzed and the literature reviewed. As an educational product, a teaching sequence based on the news genre was developed, grounded in the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the Minas Gerais Reference Curriculum (CRMG), with the aim of developing these skills.

Contradições entre avaliações externas e educação especial: o caso do Simave
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2026-03-26) Isidoro, Sinara de Abreu; Maciel, Regilson Borges; Oliveira, Ivan dos Santos; Arcas, Paulo Henrique
Large-scale external assessments have been prominent in Brazilian educational policies since the state reforms of the 1990s. These assessments primarily focus on student performance in cognitive tests as a way to measure the quality of education and guide results-based educational policies. However, Sousa (2018) points out that external assessments have not adequately considered students with special educational needs, as stipulated by law, due to a lack of necessary adaptations for their inclusion in the assessment process. Special Education encompasses students with disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and giftedness/high abilities, and is preferably offered within the regular education system. Studies indicate that the standardization of large-scale assessments conflicts with the principle of diversity and inclusion, raising questions about the equity and effectiveness of these instruments for all students. This research aims to investigate the perception of School Administrators, Basic Education Specialists, and Support Teachers regarding the participation of Special Education Students in the summative external assessments of the Minas Gerais Public Education Assessment and Equity System (SIMAVE). To this end, a qualitative research study was conducted in four stages: bibliographic research to map existing studies related to the research topic; construction of the theoretical framework, articulating productions on external assessment and Special Education from an inclusive perspective; field research with interviews with different actors involved in the process; and data analysis and interpretation through content analysis to identify significant findings. The results show that the participation of Special Education Students in external assessments is formally guaranteed, but specific guidelines for the application process are lacking, compromising quality and equitable participation. As a result of the research, an Educational Product called "Guiding Document" was developed with differentiated application strategies, taking into account the specific needs of this population. The research aims not only to generate academic knowledge, but also to contribute to the improvement of institutional practices in the application of SIMAVE in inclusive contexts, strengthening conditions of accessibility, equity, and effective participation of APEE in the evaluation process.

Liofilização, uma alternativa promissora para a conservação de sementes de Coffea Arabica L.
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2025-08-28) Mizael, Rafaela Rezende; Rosa, Sttela Dellyzete Veiga Franco da; Ferreira, Ana Maria Oliveira; Fávaris, Nathália Aparecida Bragança; Pires, Raquel Maria de Oliveira; Pereira, Cristiane Carvalho
The preservation of coffee seeds still represents a major challenge for coffee farming due to the loss of their physiological quality after six to eight months of storage. This characteristic is related to the sensitivity of the seeds to desiccation. Coffea arabica L. seeds are classified as intermediate because they do not tolerate low water content. In this context, freeze-drying emerges as an alternative by promoting water removal through sublimation at low temperatures and under vacuum, preserving cellular structures and metabolic functions for prolonged periods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the survival of Arabica coffee seeds after freeze-drying and storage at room temperature. In a first experiment, seeds of the cultivar MGS Paraíso 2 were dried on silica gel or suspended sieves to water contents of 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, and 12% (wet basis) and subsequently freeze-dried to approximately 5% moisture (wt). Physiological quality was evaluated by germination, tetrazolium, and electrical conductivity tests. In a second experiment, the performance of freeze-dried seeds was evaluated using the same tests during nine months of storage after drying on silica gel or suspended sieves to the moisture levels mentioned above. Freeze-drying compromised the formation of normal seedlings in freeze-dried and pre-dried seeds between 35% and 12% moisture, while viability was not affected at moisture levels of 15% and 20%. After nine months of storage without temperature control, more than 80% of the freeze-dried seeds with 12% moisture remained viable and with a high percentage of root protrusion.

Diálogos entre a estratégia como prática e a teoria institucional: uma revisão integrativa
(2022-09) Morais, Raphael de; Brito, Mozar José de; Brito, Valéria da Glória Pereira; Pinheiro, Daniel Calbino; Prado, Agda da Silva
The theoretical-methodological dialogue between the approach of strategy as practice and other approaches formulated by social theorists has produced significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge about “making strategy.” The link between the new institutionalism and the approach to strategy as a practice has been stimulated and articulated by several researchers in the area of administration. However, we do not have an integrated view on how this theoretical articulation has been constructed and explored by Brazilian and foreign researchers. To fill this gap, this work aims to map and structure an integrative review of this theoretical articulation in the light of national and international literature. The work also points out the possible contributions of this theoretical articulation, research gaps and reveals that even in face of the appeals and the analytical potential evidenced by different researchers in the area of administration, this theoretical dialogue is in an embryonic stage.
