Inclusive education and social vulnerability in private higher education: an analysis in a private institution in the Federal District

2026-07-16T01:53:08+02:00

This article aims to analyze the policies and practices of inclusive education in a private higher education institution, focusing on students in situations of social/economic vulnerability. The question of this research is how institutions promote the inclusion of these students, taking into account aspects such as access, permanence, quality and equity. We support and endorse the theoretical aspects in authors who address the concepts of inclusive education, social vulnerability, higher education and public policies. As a method, qualitative research was carried out, composed of a bibliographic review in the SciELO database and an observation in a private higher education institution in the Federal District. However, the research analyzes the participation and self-confidence of students from different socioeconomic conditions in higher education. We observed that students in situations of social vulnerability have more difficulty in expressing themselves better and are less confident, mainly due to the social barrier faced by these students who are scholarship holders in a private education institution. We conclude that inclusive education in higher education still faces challenges and limitations, but also presents possibilities and advances.

Beyond Doing Good: ESG Metrics, Impact Finance, and the Reconfiguration of Public Education

2026-03-25T15:43:38+01:00

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks and impact-finance instruments are increasingly presented as pragmatic ways to mobilize private resources for public purposes. In education, these arrangements extend beyond private provision: they introduce targets, outcome payments, investment criteria, and reporting systems into the governance of public and publicly oriented programs. This article asks how ESG and impact-finance frameworks can reshape educational priorities even when the volume of private funding remains modest. A critical narrative review was conducted through purposive analysis of 14 scholarly and institutional documents published between 2003 and 2026. The corpus connects the genealogy of ESG, research on financialization and asset-manager capitalism, evidence on education impact bonds, and scholarship on privatization, performativity, and quantification. The synthesis develops the concept of metric-mediated privatization and proposes a three-mechanism model. Translation reduces plural educational purposes to indicators that can be compared and contracted. Selection privileges interventions, populations, and time horizons that can produce attributable and auditable results. Dependency gives funders, intermediaries, and evaluators influence over providers through conditional finance, standards, and reputational visibility. These mechanisms form a recursive cycle in which measured outcomes justify new standards and future allocation decisions. The review does not imply that measurement, partnerships, or private resources are intrinsically harmful. It shows, however, that technical accountability can silently redistribute authority unless public institutions retain control over goals, metrics, data, evaluation, and exit conditions. The article concludes with governance safeguards and an empirical research agenda for distinguishing useful supplementary finance from arrangements that subordinate educational judgment to investor-oriented definitions of value.

Inclusive Education, from the perspective of Special Education, constitutes one of the main pillars of Brazilian educational policies aimed at guaranteeing the right to education, equity, and the appreciation of diversity. This study aimed to analyze, based on the Brazilian scientific literature, the advances, challenges, and future perspectives of Inclusive Education from the perspective of Special Education, identifying thematic trends, methodological gaps, and implications for public policies and educational practices. Methodologically, this is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study based on a systematic literature review, using content analysis of scientific publications produced between 2010 and 2025 in Brazilian academic databases. The findings reveal significant normative advances, an expansion of research on teacher education, Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA), accessibility, and assistive technologies, as well as a strengthened understanding of Special Education as a cross-cutting educational modality integrated into mainstream education. However, persistent challenges remain, including insufficient teacher preparation, regional inequalities, limited educational resources, fragmented intersectoral policies, and the gap between legal frameworks and their effective implementation in schools. It is concluded that the consolidation of genuinely inclusive education requires continuous investment in public policies, democratic school management, curriculum reorganization, expanded accessibility conditions, and stronger integration between scientific research and pedagogical practice. This study contributes to advancing the academic debate on Inclusive Education and provides evidence to support researchers, policymakers, and educators committed to building more equitable, democratic, and socially inclusive educational systems.

The importance of vitamin B12 supplementation in bariatric patients: prevention of megaloblastic anemia and associated health risks

2026-07-18T02:09:45+02:00

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic condition linked to various diseases and high mortality. With the increase in cases in Brazil, bariatric surgery has been an effective alternative for weight loss and control of comorbidities. However, this procedure can cause nutritional deficiencies, especially of vitamin B12, whose absorption is impaired. A lack of this vitamin can lead to megaloblastic anemia, affecting neurological and hematological health. For this reason, adequate supplementation in the post-operative period is essential. This study highlights the importance of vitamin B12 in preventing anemia and promoting public health. Objective: To analyze the importance of vitamin B12 in patients undergoing bariatric surgery Methodology: This study is based on qualitative and exploratory research through a literature review, with the objective of analyzing the importance of vitamin B12 supplementation in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, especially in the prevention of megaloblastic anemia. Data was collected from books, specialized journals and scientific articles available on databases such as Pubmed, SciELO, LILACS and Google Scholar. Results: Vitamin B12 is essential for metabolic and neurological functions and is mainly obtained from animal foods. After bariatric surgery, its absorption can be impaired, resulting in deficiency and the risk of megaloblastic anemia. This condition compromises the production of red blood cells and affects the nervous system. Adequate B12 supplementation is therefore essential to prevent complications and maintain patients' health. Conclusion: The analysis of the data concluded that vitamin B12 supplementation is essential for the prevention of megaloblastic anemia in bariatric patients, due to the anatomical and physiological changes that compromise its absorption. Cobalamin is essential for the synthesis of DNA, the production of red blood cells and neurological functioning, requiring individualized monitoring in the post-operative period. Route choice should reflect clinical severity and absorption.

2026-07-23T00:49:23+02:00

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by inflammation of the lower airways, leading to reversible narrowing of the bronchi. The main symptoms that commonly manifest include wheezing, chest discomfort, and dyspnea, among others. Treatment is used to control the disease, as there is no cure for asthma. The disease is controlled through the use of corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation of the lower airways, and short- and long-acting B2-adrenergic agonists, which relax the bronchi. To present the profile of patients with asthma treated at the pharmacy of the 9th Regional Health Department of Paraná. The methodology employed was based on the collection of data from treated patients, in accordance with the Ministry of Health’s clinical protocol and therapeutic guidelines for asthma. The data were obtained from reports extracted from the Exceptional Medications System (Sismedex), which is part of the Specialized Pharmaceutical Care Component of the Unified Health System (SUS). The variables collected were sex, age group, and duration of treatment in the 9th Regional Health District. A total of 460 patients were included in the study, predominantly female. When broken down by duration of treatment, an increase in treatment adherence was observed, as 21.5% (n=99) had started treatment less than one year prior. Regarding age group, patients in their sixties were the most common, accounting for 57% (n=262) of patients. The study indicated that the disease is more prevalent among patients in their sixties, and adherence to asthma treatment is more common among women.

Pharmacotherapy in the Elderly: Assessment of Knowledge About Prescribed Medications Among Patients at a Community Pharmacy in Rural Paraná

2026-07-28T15:25:03+02:00

Older adults have a higher number of medical conditions and, consequently, a higher consumption of medications. On the other hand, they are individuals who, due to their age, may have various needs, such as cognitive and visual needs, among others. The present study aimed to assess older adults’ knowledge of the pharmacological treatments they are currently using. The researchers observed how patients recognize their medications, dosages, indications, adverse reactions, and dosing schedules. A cross-sectional, analytical, field study was conducted with 50 older adults at a retail pharmacy in rural Paraná. The level of understanding was determined by analyzing the agreement between the respondent’s answers and the information contained in the medical prescription regarding: medication name, dose, frequency, indication, and adverse effects. It was observed that older adults lack knowledge about the medication’s name, as well as its adverse effects and special precautions for administration. However, regarding the dose to be administered and the timing of administration, the study yielded satisfactory results, with the majority of older adults demonstrating knowledge of these parameters. It is concluded that strategies must be implemented to increase older adults’ understanding of their pharmacotherapy. Treatment is more effective and safer when administered correctly.

The Principle of Hierarchy of Legal Norms in the Judicial Function

2026-07-21T16:14:13+02:00

This article examines the principle of hierarchy of legal norms in the exercise of the judicial function. The contemporary state is governed by the principle of legality, a fundamental element of the rule of law, ensuring effective protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. The concept of law encompasses all legal norms in force within the state legal order, regardless of their source. Given the multiplicity of normative sources, whose production is not limited to a single state authority, conflicts between norms are likely to occur. Consequently, it is necessary to identify a principle that simultaneously ensures coherence and harmony among all legal norms that constitute the state's legal order and resolves normative conflicts. Legal doctrine and, subsequently, jurisprudence have established the principle of hierarchy of legal norms as an essential mechanism for such purpose, recognizing it as a constitutive element and guarantee of the rule of law. This study analyzes, through qualitative, descriptive, and comparative methodology, the hierarchical structure of written norms (constitutional, international conventional, legislative, and regulatory) and unwritten norms (principles of Islamic Sharia, customary norms, natural law, and general principles of law), examining the position of each category within the normative pyramid and the legal consequences of their application by the judicial authority.

Tort Liability for Damages Caused by Artificial Intelligence Systems: Current Challenges and Future Prospects

2026-07-21T16:32:45+02:00

The contemporary era is marked by an unprecedented technological revolution in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), with autonomous systems progressively integrated into critical sectors including public administration, healthcare, transportation, and essential infrastructure in Algeria and globally. This massive integration raises profound legal challenges, particularly concerning the application of classical tort liability frameworks to autonomous and opaque algorithmic entities, notably deep learning systems that evolve beyond their initial programming. This article examines, through a comparative perspective, the adequacy of the Algerian legal framework (Articles 124, 125, 138, and 140 bis of the Algerian Civil Code), French law (Article 1242, paragraph 1, of the French Civil Code), and European Union regulations (the proposed EU AI Liability Directive) in addressing damages caused by AI systems. Employing a qualitative and comparative analytical methodology, the study demonstrates the structural insufficiency of the traditional elements of tort liability—fault (faute), causation (lien de causalité), and subjective accountability—when confronted with the decision-making autonomy and algorithmic opacity of the "black box." The article concludes that an imperative legislative reform is necessary to establish a strict liability regime grounded in risk theory, coupled with the implementation of a mandatory insurance system to guarantee full victim compensation and legal certainty in the context of digital transformation.

Disciplinary Accountability of Judicial Officers in Algerian Law: A Framework Analysis

2026-07-27T23:41:46+02:00

The disciplinary liability of judicial officers in Algeria constitutes a specialized accountability mechanism wherein professional sanctions are imposed upon dereliction of statutory or regulatory duties during the execution of judicial functions. Such liability arises from violations including non-compliance with enforcement procedures, breach of professional confidentiality, abuse of public authority, or conduct involving negligence and dereliction that undermines the dignity and integrity of the profession. Grounded normatively in the concept of professional fault rather than demonstrable harm, this framework authorizes a graduated spectrum of disciplinary sanctions ranging from formal warnings and reprimands to temporary suspension and permanent disbarment, contingent upon adherence to procedural safeguards guaranteeing the right to defense. The disciplinary accountability regime serves three pivotal systemic objectives: ensuring the proper functioning of the justice delivery apparatus, maintaining public confidence in the integrity and competence of judicial officers, and safeguarding the ethical independence of the profession. This article examines the legal and institutional architecture governing disciplinary liability under Algerian Law No. 06-03 (as amended by Law No. 23-13), analyzing its constituent elements, procedural guarantees, sanctioning mechanisms, and appellate pathways, while critically evaluating the normative balance between professional discipline and due process protections.
