A Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) desempenha um papel fundamental na promoção da inclusão social e na redução das desigualdades educacionais, permitindo que indivíduos que não tiveram acesso à educação na idade regular retomem seus estudos. No entanto, o sucesso acadêmico e a permanência desses estudantes enfrentam diversos desafios, incluindo fatores socioeconômicos, familiares, pedagógicos e motivacionais. Este estudo investiga os fatores determinantes do sucesso acadêmico e do abandono escolar na EJA em escolas públicas, com o objetivo de identificar as principais barreiras que interferem na aprendizagem e na conclusão dos cursos. A pesquisa utiliza uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, incluindo análise documental, entrevistas com professores e gestores escolares, além de questionários aplicados aos alunos da EJA. Espera-se que os resultados contribuam para a formulação de estratégias educacionais mais eficazes, voltadas à melhoria do desempenho, à redução da evasão e à promoção de políticas públicas que fortaleçam a EJA, valorizando a permanência e o engajamento dos estudantes.

The inclusion of deaf people is gradually being commonin collective environments, especially in the educational sphere. This is because since the beginning people with some disability did not even have the opportunity to live, a reality that is being changed in recent years. For this purpose, this article has as its main objective the analysis of dilemmas presented to managers in the school direction and, essentially, offered to all students. To this end, this work was developed on the reading and understanding of official regulatory documents, as well as based on theorists such as Libâneo (2004), Luck (2008), Lacerda (2002), Mantoan (1998), Ricardo (2018) and among other specialists in the area of management and pedagogical coordination. Methodologically, this research was based on bibliographic research, which, in turn, not only highlights the problems that exist in this school space, but also seeks to present how institutionally deaf students should be attended by regular schools. Emphasizing the importance of using the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) in this inclusion process, which, in short, enables an egalitarian and efficient education, since deaf students have the right to live together and be formed in an environment of socialization and interaction, aspects offered together with the school space.

En este artículo presentamos un fragmento de nuestra tesis de doctorado sobre las prácticas de transmisión patrimonial de pequeños y medianos propietarios de un pago de la campaña bonaerense de fines del siglo XVIII y principios del siglo XIX. Exploramos la normativa castellana sobre herencia desde una perspectiva de género que enmarca una de las hipótesis centrales de nuestro trabajo en la que argumentamos que dentro de la legislación vigente para el periodo y espacio propuestos, las disposiciones hereditarias no impusieron restricciones a la capacidad de transmisión patrimonial de las mujeres al momento de transmitir o recibir herencia, manteniendo una situación de relativa igualdad en relación a los hombres. Este intersticio legal será nuestro marco desde donde analizar el rol económico, social y jurídico asignado y asumido por las mujeres de la colonia y los primeros años independientes.

Correspondence audit studies are becoming more prevalent in the field of Public Administration (PA). We explain the benefits and limitations of audit studies and provide a systematic literature review of PA audit studies. Our systematic review includes journal articles written in English and containing audit studies in PA that were gathered from highly ranked PA journals, and also forward and reverse citations of relevant prominent articles. We summarize the frequency of topics and other selected aspects of the 90 included articles. We then discuss common concerns with audit studies both in PA and more generally. Finally, we discuss future directions for these kinds of studies that go beyond the standard measures of discrimination between two groups.

Evidence suggests that women who report same-sex partners may be at particular risk for experiencing negative health effects from alcohol and tobacco use. Using data pooled from the results of the 2008–2013 New York City Community Health Survey, this study used multiple regression analyses to examine the predictability of annual household income, age, race, and history of depression on frequency and quantity of alcohol and tobacco use within a total sample of women who have sex with women (WSW). Age and history of depression were statistically significant predictors of alcohol use in WSW, and race was a statistically significant predictor of tobacco use with non-Hispanic White respondents.Results of this study provide greatly needed insight into possible risk factors for alcohol and tobacco use among a significantly understudied population. Results also provide strong encouragement for counselors to inquire about sex and sexuality regardless of client self-identified sexual orientation.

Dolphin-assisted therapy (DAT), as a part of animal-assisted therapy and complementary and alternative medicine, yields several positive results. This study intended to add to DAT effectiveness research while using a standardized assessment. In the Ukraine, a DAT program called DolphinSwim agreed to take part in research with 37 voluntary participants. These participants were the parents of children with special needs, as defined by a variety of diagnoses, including developmental, cognitive, emotional, and physical disorders. An evaluation of five treatment programs took place during a 2-week period. The Behavior Dimensions Rating Scale was administered to program participants during pretreatment and posttreatment on site. Paired-samples t-tests indicated positive behavioral changes in children, as reported by parents. The article concludes with a discussion of the results and suggestions for future research.
