AI and the Inclusion of Deaf People in Brazil: A Qualitative Study
This study investigated the perceptions of Deaf users of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) regarding artificial intelligence (AI), through online interviews with 12 participants of different ages, educational backgrounds, and occupations. A qualitative methodology was applied, based on Bardin’s (2011) content analysis, which enabled the identification of meaning patterns in participants’ responses. The results highlighted five main themes: lack of knowledge, mistaken associations, practical uses, interest in learning, and resistance/fear. Lack of knowledge proved to be transversal, affecting youth, adults, and elderly participants, reflecting structural informational exclusion. Mistaken associations showed how the absence of critical digital literacy in sign language leads to limited understandings of AI, often linked to already familiar technologies. Practical uses, mostly reported by teachers and university students, revealed AI’s potential as an educational mediator and a tool for autonomy.

The Impact of Globalization in Response to Climate Change on the Indigenous People of Africa
Globalization and climate change significantly impact African indigenous peoples by promoting cash crops over traditional food security, disrupting cultural practices tied to the environment, exacerbating poverty and resource conflicts, and marginalizing their knowledge systems in global climate responses. This combination of factors increases vulnerability to climate shocks, forcing migration and threatening the cultural and economic foundations of indigenous communities across the continent.

The effectiveness of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Public Sector Construction Oversight in Nigeria Challenges and strategies for improvement
Persistent governance failures in public construction projects highlight the need for strategic interventions, with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) providing a potential pathway toward more transparent, inclusive, and sustainable infrastructure delivery. This study investigates the factors influencing the effectiveness of CSO oversight in Nigeria’s construction sector and explores strategies for strengthening their role. Data were collected through a survey of 305 respondents—including CSO staff, government officials, and project beneficiaries—and analyzed using mean score and the Kruskal–Wallis rank test. Findings indicate that CSO oversight is constrained less by technical limitations than by structural and political barriers. Limited information access and weak coordination are further compounded by entrenched patronage, institutional fragmentation, and low civic legitimacy. The study also shows that meaningful contributions to accountability and inclusive governance depend on aligning foundational, operational, and adaptive strategies. Addressing these challenges requires more than transparency tools, calling for broader political and institutional reforms.
International Protection of Vulnerable Immigrants. A Comparative Study between the Common European Asylum System Ceas and the Brazil Action Plan Bap, and the presence of Human Rights between the years 2015 and 2025
This research analyzes the management of immigration and the human rights of refugees in Europe and Latin America between the year 2015 and 2024, through a comparative view of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and the Brazil Action Plan 2015. In an academic structure of three chapters, the author analysis the issues of international protection, migration, refuge and international humanitarian law, taken to the reality of two fundamental scenarios of migration crisis: Latin America and Europe. Not all the legislations of both regions can be used as a case study to make a diagnosis on the management of asylum, refuge and migrants. For this reason, CEAS and Brazil's Action Plan (2015) were taken as management mechanisms for the review. The comparative view of this work will allow us to understand the differences of these chosen structures. This is a result of great relevance for the analysis and understanding of the current international sociopolitical reality. Reality plagued by conflicts, violations and crises, human avalanches in border crossings. These people are betting on a safer and better future for their lives.
Teaching, Research and University Management in the Context of Educational Digitalization: reflections from the seminars between the University of Pernambuco and the Central University of Finance and Economics

Spirituality, Ethics, and Morality in Education: A Philosophical Perspective on Integral Formation
This theoretical and qualitative study addresses the central question of how spirituality morality and ethics articulate as essential dimensions of human formation and fundamental pillars of Integral Education The research aims to demonstrate that spirituality can be conceptualized as a formative and integrating category of knowledge morality and ethics within the educational context The methodology employed is a theoretical synthesis and narrative review of key philosophical and educational literature focusing on the conceptual evolution of these dimensions The analysis is structured around thematic clusters beginning with the systemic perspective of Fritjof Capra which frames spirituality as a unifying dimension of reason ethics and moral consciousness The perspective expressed in the paradigm of wholeness and interconnection a central theme for the thesis of Integral Education finds in Capra a contemporary conceptual lens through which the historical development of this theme is interpreted Subsequently the study traces the historical-philosophical development from classical thought Socrates Plato Aristotle to modern and contemporary perspectives Kant Nietzsche Tillich Bauman culminating in the Latin American and territorial view of Rodolfo Kusch This approach allows for a critical synthesis of how these concepts have shaped the understanding of human formation The main finding is that spirituality understood in its philosophical and educational sense constitutes an ontological and formative dimension of the human being articulating reason morality and ethical sensibility The study concludes that the integration of this dimension into Integral Education expands the horizon of formation offering a specific framework for pedagogical practices that promote dialogue critical consciousness and humanization thereby advancing the existing literature by providing a cohesive conceptual model for its application
Productivity of the Unproductive School An education policy designed not to work
The article examines the thesis of the productivity of the unproductive school in the Brazilian context drawing on IDEB Adequate Learning in Portuguese Language and Mathematics across the three stages of basic education early and final years of elementary education and upper secondary education Methodologically it is a documentary-analytical study with a quantitative and critical approach based on secondary analysis of public indicators The empirical strategy combines descriptive statistics trend analysis and relative differences between stages and school networks with a methodological choice to track Adequate Learning rather than aggregate indices and to disaggregate by subject area and stage in order to mitigate interpretive distortions The results indicate insufficient national levels and a sharp decline from elementary to upper secondary more intense in Mathematics e g 2023 44 16 5 and also present in Portuguese Language 55 36 32 a pattern observed in the private school network and attenuated though not overcome in the federal network The article argues that instructionism lesson test transmission sustains a system that fails to ensure learning producing what we term an unlearning effect a cumulative phenomenon it also discusses the limitations of IDEB-Proficiency justifying the focus on Adequate Learning by subject and stage On the prescriptive side it advocates shifting policies and practices toward public research cycles with student authorship iterative versions and explicit rubrics under the principle of the same yardstick multiple pathways procedural equity It concludes that the diagnosis is not intended to blame teachers but to inform decisions that reconfigure the school as a learning architecture grounded in evidence and the public dissemination of results

Ludwig Feuerbach – Philosophical Pioneer of Contemporaneity
To contribute towards the current revival of the philosophical thought of Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach 1804- 1872 with his pioneering exposition of various contemporary issues Individual Differences Statue of Democracy and Sciences Sustainable Development Dietetics Gymnastics Unconscious Desires Intercultural Dialogues and others The author applies Feuerbach s own organic or critical-genetic method in which phenomena are understood through their origins to grasp Feuerbachian insights His Philosophy is examined through his concept of self-objectification among his fundamental concepts as the guiding principle of Feuerbach s formulations both as a result of explicitly pantheistic naturalistic and republican influences and as a conceptual basis for transcending them as they evolved philosophically Italian philosophical pantheism through its genetic-critical methodology Western scientific naturalism through its postulation of technological alliances with inhuman nature and European democratic republicanism through its prediction of the institutional conditions for a future human community
Disrupting Perception, Shaping Conflict: Epistemic Power and Social Media Manipulation in Hybrid Digital Struggles
The evolution of modern conflict has increasingly shifted toward the digital domain where perception rather than territory has become the central battlefield This article conceptualizes cyber-based information warfare as an asymmetric and multidimensional form of conflict wherein state and non-state actors use social media algorithmic amplification and narrative engineering to influence public opinion and destabilize rival regimes Drawing upon the epistemic power framework Foucault Castells Zuboff and the symbolic violence theory of Bourdieu this paper develops a theoretical model that explains how platform dynamics reshape public perception and conflict behavior The study adopts a qualitative comparative approach focusing on two major case studies Russia s interference in the 2016 U S presidential elections and the Armenia Azerbaijan digital conflict surrounding the 2020 war and its aftermath It examines how social media manipulation through disinformation campaigns troll factories and algorithmic distortions transformed both public discourse and geopolitical narratives Empirically grounded and theoretically informed the article addresses a key gap in political science literature by linking epistemic control to conflict escalation in hybrid digital struggles It also evaluates the normative and legal implications of such practices highlighting the urgent need for algorithmic transparency media literacy and updated regulatory frameworks The findings suggest that contemporary information warfare is not merely a technical or operational threat but a strategic mode of exercising ideological power in the digital age By situating information warfare at the intersection of technology discourse and geopolitics this article contributes to an emerging research agenda on epistemic contestation and hybrid warfare in international relations

Technological Developments and Capitalist Subsumption: The New Information Technologies in the Construction of the Capitalist Individual
The incorporation of information technologies has transformed capitalist relations directly impacting the forms of subsumption and the realization of work This article proposes a critical analysis of the changes caused by these technologies arguing that they intensify capitalist relations rather than represent a rupture with the logic of value as suggested by neofeudal theses The insertion of ICT is not a natural technological development but rather an imposition of class struggle within the capitalist logic The new forms of control and disciplining of labor create an illusion of self-realization obscuring exploitation and expropriation as the real objectives of these technological transformations
