  • Global solution: sustainability and solidarity
    Vol. 9 No. 2 (2024)

    Diversitas Journal brings a new issue of volume 9, covering the months April to June 2024. In this issue we have a very intriguing and current theme: Global solution: sustainability and solidarity.

     Sustainability and solidarity emerge as fundamental pillars to face the global challenges that our contemporary society faces. These two interconnected forces offer essential solutions for a more equitable and resilient world.

    Sustainability transcends the mere preservation of the environment. It encompasses harmony between human needs, the health of the planet and economic viability. The search for sustainable practices involves reducing excessive consumption, promoting renewable energy, conserving ecosystems and raising awareness about the ecological footprint. Individual and collective actions, such as recycling, responsible water use and adoption of green technologies, are crucial steps towards a more sustainable future.

    Solidarity is the ultimate expression of empathy and compassion. It transcends geographic, cultural and social borders. Solidarity involves supporting those less fortunate, sharing resources and fighting inequality. Whether in the form of humanitarian aid in times of crisis, promoting gender equality or defending the rights of refugees, solidarity is a powerful antidote to division and selfishness.

    Global Solution: The convergence of sustainability and solidarity is the key to facing global challenges. By adopting sustainable practices, we are contributing to the preservation of our planet and, consequently, to the well-being of all its inhabitants. Solidarity reminds us that we are part of an interconnected global community, and that our individual actions reverberate around the world. Therefore, by promoting sustainability and practicing solidarity, we are building a global solution that transcends barriers and brings us closer to a fairer and more harmonious future.

    Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessário
    Vol. 8 No. 1 (2023)

    "Hoje você é quem manda
    Falou, tá falado
    Não tem discussão, não
    A minha gente hoje anda falando de lado
    E olhando pro chão, viu
    Você que inventou esse estado
    E inventou de inventar
    Toda a escuridão
    Você que inventou o pecado
    Esqueceu-se de inventar
    O perdão"

    É com esta canção de Chico Buarque, composta nos anos de 1970 que convidamos a você leitor adentrar no conjunto das coisas ditas e escritas organizadas pela Diversitas Journal, volume 8, edição 01 de 2023. Destacamos que o compêndio de artigos dos mais variados campos de domínio aqui postos, Com o tema  Sociedade e Ciência: um diálogo necessário. Esta temática é bem oportuna porque vivenciamos esta edição no período ainda da Pandemia do Covid-19, por isso foi híbrido. Período instalado desde 2020 com muita negação a Ciência. Isso mesmo, as Vacinas para o combate ao Covid-19 chegaram muito tarde ao Brasil, ocasionando assim um alto índice de mortalidade. Desta feita, sugerimos a canção “Apesar de você” para entendermos que apesar de toda a realidade antidemocrática é possível sonharmos e entendermos que “amanhã há de ser outro dia”.

    Sociedade e Ciência: um diálogo necessário nos possibilita enfrentar todas as formas de negação da produção do conhecimento, que inclusive salva vidas! Compreender a importância da Ciência para produção do conhecimento e validação dele por meio de seus produtos é um grande feito que todos os cientistas alcançam. Por isso, a Sociedade precisa caminhar de mãos dadas com a Ciência, pois é por meio dela que a Sociedade pode ser transformada, que as injustiças sociais podem vir ser combatidas, que as desigualdades sociais podem ser amenizadas e que as diferenças podem ser respeitadas. O conhecimento é um artefato transformador na vida de toda a Sociedade, tanto quando ela produz quanto ela consome o conhecimento produzido, a título de exemplo: as Vacinas.

    É com esta poesia dialógica entre a Sociedade e a Ciência que teremos condições favoráveis para reconstruir um Brasil de todos e para todos os brasileiros, onde todas e todos os seres humanos possam ter comida em suas mesas, onde as injustiças sociais sejam ceifadas feito ervas daninhas, onde as desigualdades sociais possam por meio de políticas públicas justas e inclusivas favorecerem para o ‘a manhã renascer, esbanjar poesia, o céu clarear, o coro cantar, na sua frente’. A liberdade ser vivenciada de forma soberana através das condições favoráveis que teremos para repensar, reconstruir e reviver uma Sociedade Democrática, Solidária e Fraterna. Onde a Ciência deve estar em primeiro lugar para que possa contribuir com as transformações sociais, políticas, econômicas e históricas do nosso mundo a favor de toda a Sociedade brasileira sem distinção de raça, etnia ou gênero, fazendo jus a promoção da Educação em Direitos Humanos.

    Por conseguinte, te convidamos leitor a penetrar em cada área de conhecimento e escavar os saberes necessários para tua mudança pessoal e profissional. Entender que a função da Revista Diversitas Journal é proporcionar a circularização do conhecimento, é estabelecer a ponte para o inédito viável, para transformação social, pessoal e profissional. Portanto, este compêndio cumpre a missão de estabelecer o diálogo entre a Sociedade e a Ciência, ressignificando assim a sua própria vida, sua própria existência, ousemos sempre ser mais por meio do conhecimento que acessamos e dos saberes que nos atravessam em sermos quem somos e como somos, por isso, ousemos ser sempre mais e melhores em nossa e para nossa Sociedade e Ciência brasileira.

    Verão de 2022,

    Professora Doutora Maria Aparecida Vieira de Melo, UFRN.

  • Breaking paradigms and social changes: the new challenges for science
    Vol. 7 No. 1 (2022)

    As novas quebras de paradigmas  apresentadas no contexto social e economico, em tempos de Pandemia Sars-Cov 19 tem determinado novos paradigmas para o desenvolvimento e funcionamento das estruturas de pesquisa e aprendizagem em geral.  Novos procedimentos  que garantem o mínimo de estrutura para manutenção dos estudos poss´íveis foram apresentados como saída para não estagnar a ciência, principalmente em pesquisas em andamento. Mas o ensino sofreu muita mudança com a nova necessidade do ensino remoto.

    Por outro lado, a ciência se mostrou, e aparece, como única forma de vencer a Pandemia, e como esperança de retorno a rotina normal de existencia social em sua normalidade de trabalho e sobrevivência intelectual. 

    Neste numero, e em todo o ano do 2022, estaremos continuamente nos referindo aos novos paradigmas e as mudanças sociais, na educação: no ensino, na pesquisa e na extensão, assim como no normal da convivencia social, o desenvolvimento das novas rotinas de trabalhos, as realidades nos estágios, no trabalho essencial da saúde, da produção de alimentos, da manutenção da fé criadora, e no mundo real.

  • Education realities in the Sars-Covid19 Pandemic
    Vol. 6 No. 4 (2021)

    REALITIES OF EDUCATION IN THE SARS-COVID-19 PANDEMIC

    Since the 1990s, the education sector has been undergoing profound changes, following the transformations that occurred in the productive structure, with different patterns of sectoral modernization. The accelerated restructuring of the capitalist production system has accentuated the gap between the top and bottom of the social pyramid, as access or access barriers to equipment and data transmission networks have defined a new pattern of social exclusion.

    Covid-19 accelerated the transition process from in-person activities to teleworking, ignoring the structural barriers to accessing equipment and digital platforms, in addition to the learning time required to use new tools. In education, the qualitative results of training at all stages of teaching are questionable. Furthermore, new digital barriers ensure a competitive advantage for residents of urban areas, with higher incomes and higher levels of education, deepening social exclusion.

    It is not yet possible to accurately assess all the effects of this forced acceleration, nor does this collection exhaust the debate, although it makes an excellent contribution to the understanding of the phenomenon, problematizing the process in light of the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions. Is it possible to measure the quality of teaching compared to the pre-pandemic phase? From the perspective of education professionals, is it possible to measure the intensification of work, the real length of the journey, the degree of home invasion and the effects on the physical and mental health of those involved? What is the reach of remote classes, in different regions of the country? We invite you to embark on this reflective journey. Good reading.

  • Culture and tourism hand in hand with territorial development
    Vol. 6 No. 3 (2021)

    The integration between culture and tourism is fundamental for sustainable territorial development. Culture, with its artistic manifestations, traditions and historical heritage, attracts visitors and promotes local identity.

    Tourism, in turn, generates income and encourages the conservation of these cultural values. When well planned, tourism can reinforce local culture and contribute to the economy without compromising the natural resources or cultural essence of communities.

    Examples of this are ethnotourism and community-based tourism, which value traditional populations and promote respectful interaction between visitors and local communities. These practices are essential for preserving the cultural and environmental identity of a territory, while providing an authentic and enriching experience for tourists.

    In this new volume of the Diversitas Journal, we are bringing to the scientific public 47 articles produced in Brazil and abroad, by different Universities on their different themes.

    Agricultural Sciences with ten articles of great importance in the subareas of Microbiology, Seeds, Phytopathology, among others. Environmental Sciences with four articles representing subareas of biological interest and environmental preservation. Biological Sciences, also with four very representative articles in the area, with important points of applied science in human health and livestock farming. Health Science with important current texts with interventions in health and health teaching, including parasitology and endemic diseases. Applied Social Sciences represented in six articles that discuss Brazilian realities. Education and Teaching with nine articles discussing the Pandemic and remote teaching technologies, among other topics. Literature and linguistics with the article Afro-Brazilian literature as a contribution to an anti-racist education: the short story A Escrava and ending number 3 of volume 6 Diversitas Journal, we have Zootecnia and Recursos Pesqueiros with two articles discussing the formulation of feed and hygiene in collection of bovine milk. We hope you enjoy reading our articles.

  • Educação para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico
    Vol. 6 No. 2 (2021)

    Education is a fundamental pillar for the socioeconomic development of any nation. It not only equips individuals with skills and knowledge needed for the job market, but also promotes innovation, productivity and economic growth.

    In Brazil, education has been recognized as an essential driving force to transform the country's development, where more than 30% of workers do not have complete basic education. It is crucial to ensure that these individuals complete at least secondary education and have access to professional courses that prepare them for a globalized and complex economy.

    Furthermore, implementing an educational system that is aligned with social, scientific and technological advances is key to increasing competitiveness in all sectors of the economy. Countries that invest in consistent and continuous public policies in education, as demonstrated by the success of nations like Vietnam in international assessments, show that it is possible to overcome socioeconomic challenges and achieve sustainable and inclusive development.

    This second issue of the sixth volume features the Diversitas Journal themed Dossier, which has as its theme “Development and Sustainability”. This Dossier was designed    and    conducted    by the    Group    of    Research    Center    of    Studies   in Eco-development,  Ruralities  and  Management  (CEERG),  based  at  the  Campus  Sertão  of the Federal  University  of  Alagoas,  which  comes  to  hold  an  interdisciplinary  discussion on  development  and  sustainability,  whether  in  the  rural  environment  or urban. It  also  aims  to  provide  a  debate  of  ideas,  exposition  of  experiences  and  understanding  and systematization    of    knowledge    within the    scope    of the    issues    that    guide  ecodevelopment,  the  diverse  ways  in  which  ruralities  are  expressed  in  Brazil  and  on  the  management  of  natural  resources,  based  on  scientific  articles. which present content (research) relevant to this discussion.

  • Práticas e reflexões sobre ensino, pesquisa e extensão
    Vol. 6 No. 1 (2021)

    The role of science in building a new society with greater
    opportunities to guarantee comfort and social well-being are presented to each actor
    researcher at various levels of production spread across the country and the world. Same
    With few financial resources, our researchers in each space reinvent the way
    to extract your best, individually and collectively, to build a better world.
    The first issue, of the first volume Diversitas Journalem 2021, has the theme: “Practice and reflections on teaching, research and extension”. In this sense, the Diversitas Journal, in Alagoas, Brazil, contributes to the socialization of scientific knowledge, art and culture. We hope you enjoy reading the articles presented.
    The integration of teaching, research and extension represents a fundamental pillar in academic training, promoting a holistic education that prepares students for real-world challenges. Action research, for example, is a methodology that strengthens this integration, allowing students to actively participate in solving concrete problems, while at the same time developing critical and reflective skills. This collaborative approach between university and community expands learning opportunities, enriching the educational experience with practical experiences and theoretical reflections.
    Extension programs, such as Educação Infantil na Roda, stand out for offering training experiences that are based on the tripod of university action, contributing significantly to the plural education of students.
    Furthermore, critical action research highlights the importance of dialogue between universities and basic education, expanding spaces for participation and debate on educational policies. These innovative and reflective practices are essential for an education that transcends theoretical knowledge and engages with the social and cultural reality of students.

  • Educate and research: reflecting on academic training
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2016)

    Reflecting on academic training is a critical component of both education and research. It involves a deep analysis of one's learning experiences, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application. Academic reflection encourages the development of a personal perspective or line of reasoning, fostering a connection between individual experiences and broader knowledge bases.

    It's a process that not only aids in the assimilation of new information but also in the cultivation of critical thinking and analytical skills. This reflective practice is essential for students and professionals alike, as it supports lifelong learning and adaptability in an ever-evolving academic landscape. Moreover, reflection in academic training can lead to a greater appreciation of diverse perspectives, acknowledging that understanding is often incomplete and situations are seldom black and white.

    Ultimately, the act of reflection in the context of education and research serves as a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.
