Autor(es): Sotero, Rafaell Nobre Abstract: Recyclable material collection in Brazil is characterized by labor precariousness, evidenced by high occupational accident rates in the sector, whose statistics still underreport the reality of informality in open dumps. This article analyzes the physical and symbolic violence experienced by waste pickers at the Alto São João dump in Russas-CE, through the lens of intersectionality between gender, race, and class. The study is based on the premise that unequal urban growth in the municipality has consolidated territories of high socio-environmental vulnerability, where occupational risk merges with structural violence. Methodologically, the research is a qualitative and descriptive-analytical field study, derived from an Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) project. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 waste pickers, selected through convenience sampling and community mediation. The results demonstrate that being a Black, poor woman at the dump implies disproportionate exposure to risks of death and social stigmatization, exemplified by recent episodes of fatalities and assaults on-site. It is concluded that the trajectory of these workers, far from being merely a symbol of resistance, constitutes a permanency—a sense of continuity—within strata of extreme poverty, contradicting the perception of dignity in labor and revealing dehumanization in the Ceará semi-arid region.

It is an applied research study with a quantitative approach, employing bibliographic research procedures and a case study. The analysis was based on historical sales data of bottled mineral water, covering the period from January 2022 to November 2025, with emphasis on stores representative of demand behavior. Initially, the performance of demand forecasts using the simple moving average method, currently adopted by the company, was evaluated. Its limitations include high reactivity and the inability to anticipate seasonal variations, resulting in stockouts and excess inventory. Subsequently, seasonal adjustment and Holt–Winters methods were applied and compared, as they are suitable for explicitly addressing trend and seasonality components. Model performance was assessed using two error metrics: Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), considering both training and validation datasets. The results showed that the Holt–Winters method achieved higher predictive accuracy for both analyzed stores, demonstrating greater robustness in contexts of high consumption variability. It is concluded that replacing the current method with approaches more appropriate to the stores’ demand profile can significantly contribute to improving demand planning and inventory management within the company Tipo: TCC 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repositorio.ufc.br/handle/riufc/84864 Título: Implantação de um sistema de gestão da manutenção computadorizado em uma rede de academias: uma análise operacional e estratégica Autor(es): Almeida, Nicole Samiris Amorim de Abstract: Maintenance management has increasingly assumed a strategic role in organizations, especially in service sectors that are highly dependent on physical assets, such as fitness center chains, in which equipment availability and reliability directly impact user experience and business competitiveness. In this context, this study aims to analyze the impacts of implementing a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) on the planning, monitoring, and control of maintenance activities in a fitness center network. The research is classified as applied, with a qualitative and descriptive approach, using a case study as the technical procedure. Data collection was carried out through bibliographic research, documentary analysis of reports extracted from the maintenance system, and observation of operational routines before and after the CMMS implementation. The results show that the adoption of the system enabled information centralization, process standardization, increased traceability of work orders, and the structuring of maintenance performance indicators, such as MTTR, MTBF, and backlog. Improvements were also observed in response time control, preventive maintenance planning, and governance over outsourced service providers. It is concluded that the implementation of the CMMS significantly contributed to the maturation of maintenance management, promoting greater asset reliability, operational efficiency, and support for strategic decision-making in the analyzed fitness center network.

This Undergraduate Final Project aims to develop a business plan for a women’s clothing store, seeking to analyze the economic and financial feasibility of the venture. The study adopts a descriptive and exploratory approach, based on bibliographic research and the analysis of secondary data related to the women’s fashion retail sector. The business plan encompasses the definition of the business model, market analysis, marketing strategies, operational planning, and financial planning. From a financial standpoint, projections of initial investment, costs, revenues, cash flow, and economic indicators were prepared, allowing for an assessment of the expected performance of the venture. The economic feasibility analysis was conducted using indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Return on Investment (ROI), which yielded positive results and indicate that the implementation of the women’s clothing store is economically feasible, demonstrating potential profitability and financial sustainability. Therefore, this study contributes as a support tool for entrepreneurial decision-making and serves as a reference for future entrepreneurs and academic research in the field of management and business planning within the fashion sector.
