Título: Uso popular de plantas medicinais em um município do norte gaúcho Autor(es): FRACARO, Amanda Primeiro Orientador: Detoni, Priscila Pavan Abstract/Resumen: The use of medicinal plants is a common therapeutic practice in Brazil, often preferred or complementary to traditional pharmacological therapies due to the high price of medications, the generational culture of plant use, and the low risk of adverse effects. Objective: To describe the popular use of medicinal plants in the municipality of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. Methods: Qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research, using semi-structured interviews and a sociodemographic questionnaire, with participants selected by convenience and consent. The content of the interviews was recorded, transcribed on a digital platform, and analyzed using Bardin's Content Analysis. Results: A total of seven participants were interviewed, all female, aged between 49 and 76 years, who use medicinal plants. All of them use teas and share plants and knowledge with family and community members, and most participants obtain the plants through their own cultivation. Regarding the use of medicinal plants and herbal remedies in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), participants stated that professional training, public awareness, and investment in projects are necessary. Conclusions: Participants emphasized the importance of a health practice that considers the popular use of medicinal plants, through the training of health professionals and public awareness of these complementary integrative practices, which do not replace traditional health treatments but enhance forms of care and community belonging within the territory.

Título: Neoplasia maligna de tireoide no Brasil: análise temporal e sociodemográfica segundo as regiões brasileiras de 2014 a 2024 Autor(es): Ferreira, Ana Clara Ezequiel Soares Primeiro Orientador: Silva, Shana Ginar da Abstract/Resumen: INTRODUCTION: Thyroid cancer is the endocrine malignancy with the highest incidence rate in Brazil and is more common among women aged 30 to 65 years. OBJECTIVE: To analyze temporal trends in thyroid cancer incidence and mortality rates over an 11-year period and to describe the epidemiological characteristics of cases across Brazil’s five geographic regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This ecological study used data from DataSUS (2014–2024). Cases of malignant thyroid neoplasms were obtained from the Hospital Information System, totaling 53,632 cases. Mortality data were extracted from the Mortality Information System, comprising 9,358 deaths. Population data were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Variables analyzed included sex, age group, region of diagnosis, diagnosis, and detailed diagnosis for incidence analyses, with skin color and educational level additionally evaluated for mortality analyses. Prais–Winsten regression was used to assess temporal trends. RESULTS: A total of 53,632 cases of malignant thyroid neoplasms and 9,358 related deaths were recorded in Brazil during the study period. The national mean incidence rate was 3.84 per 100,000 inhabitants, showing an increasing trend (APC = 53.2%; p = 0.006), observed in all regions. The highest incidence rate was found in the Northeast (4.36/100,000), while the lowest was observed in the South (1.38/100,000). Females presented the highest incidence rates (6.21/100,000), with a peak in the Northeast (7.68/100,000). The most affected age groups were 50–59 years (8.00/100,000) and 60–69 years (8.66/100,000). The mean national mortality rate was 0.435 per 100,000 inhabitants, with a slight increase over time (APC = 2.4%; p < 0.001), being higher among women (0.564/100,000) than men (0.325/100,000). Mortality remained stable in the North and Central-West regions and increased in the remaining regions. Individuals from all skin-color categories showed increased mortality rates. A marked increase in incidence accompanied by stable or declining mortality suggests a potential impact of overdiagnosis. CONCLUSION: Thyroid cancer incidence increased substantially in Brazil, particularly among women and in the Northeast region. Mortality remained stable or declined, suggesting the influence of overdiagnosis and improvements in diagnostic practices.. Instituição: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Tipo: Monografia

A memória do trauma, a partir do testemunho no livro “A guerra não tem rosto de mulher”

Título: A memória do trauma, a partir do testemunho no livro “A guerra não tem rosto de mulher” Autor(es): Reis, Vitória Costa dos Primeiro Orientador: Pereira, Allan Kardec da Silva Abstract/Resumen: This undergraduate thesis aims to analyze the relationship between memory, trauma, and gender in the book War Does Not Have a Woman's Face, by Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich. The research starts from the realization that the traditional historiography of World War II, focused on military strategies and heroism, constructed a predominantly male narrative that silenced the experience of Soviet female combatants. Using Freudian psychoanalysis on trauma as a theoretical framework, as well as gender and memory studies by authors such as Johnny Roberto Rosa, Linda Nicholson, and A. M. Steinbach, the study investigates how trauma is inscribed in female testimony. The analysis demonstrates that the “female war”, as recorded by Alexievich through Oral History, differs radically from the official narrative, being marked by a “history of feelings” and the sensory record of pain. It discusses the process of social silencing imposed on veterans in the post-war period, the traumatic defeminization of bodies at the front, and the psychic difficulty of narrating horror. It is concluded that Alexievich's work acts as a space for working through trauma, allowing repressed and stigmatized memories to be transformed into historical testimony, breaking with decades of oblivion and revealing the human and painful face of the conflict.
