Digital platforms present themselves as a technological market strategy that connects drivers and users, mystifying the work relationship while simultaneously making labor laws and working hours more flexible, contributing to the individualization of labor relations and the suppression of rights. Drivers, in exchange for apparent freedom in the work relationship, become hostages to targets and algorithms, with low pay, long hours, instability, and penalties. The study adopts an exploratory and descriptive approach, using bibliographic and qualitative research, as well as field research with a randomly selected group of 6 drivers. A pre-prepared questionnaire will be used to support the analysis of perceptions of labor relations with "uberization" among drivers. Participants include men and women. The municipality will not be identified to preserve the anonymity of the participants, but it is a city with a population of less than 900,000 inhabitants in southwestern Brazil, according to the IBGE census Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49791 2026-07-28T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49732 Title: O serviço social no acolhimento de crianças e adolescentes no serviço família acolhedora Abstract: The primary focus of this project is the role of social work within the Foster Family Care Service. The study aims to understand the contributions of social workers to the implementation of this social assistance service, considering its importance in ensuring comprehensive protection, family and community ties, and the realization of the rights of children and adolescents separated from their families. The research will employ a qualitative, descriptive approach, utilizing a bibliographic research methodology. To this end, the study will analyze books, scientific articles, legislation, and other documents addressing the Foster Family Care Service, the role of social work, and public policies concerning children and adolescents. Analyzing the existing body of research will provide insight into the theoretical and legal foundations guiding social work practice in the Foster Family Care Service, as well as the challenges and opportunities involved in implementing social protection policies for children and adolescents.

Abstract: This research analyzes the social representations and collective memories of elderly individuals regarding climate change and its impacts on quality of life in the Pontal region of the Triângulo Mineiro. It is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study based on semi-structured interviews conducted in the first half of 2026 with six elderly patients from a hemodialysis center. The theoretical-methodological framework integrated Maurice Halbwachs' concepts of memory, the Theory of Social Representations, and a decolonial perspective. Content analysis revealed that local transformations—caused by sugarcane expansion, deforestation of the Cerrado, river sedimentation, and burning—are empirically perceived by the subjects through their bodies, daily lives, and respiratory health issues. A subjective dilemma also emerged regarding the tension between ecological damage and dependence on regional economic progress. The study concludes that bringing these marginalized life stories to light exposes the inadequacy of protective public policies and underscores the urgent need for inclusive socio-environmental reparation strategies.

Using a semi-structured questionnaire with 34 questions, data was collected from medical records by DPMG interns, from 15 cases treated from March/2020 to March/2021. The variables that were identified in the research were: responsible for children in processes of loss of family power; age group; Education; Color self-declaration; type of residence, social program in which it is attended; neighborhood of residence; income of these families. The research identifies that those responsible are users of psychoactive substances and this factor is the most common among the cases researched. The majority accept treatment, and are referred to OSC Amor Exigente. Children or adolescents who suffered the loss of family power were provisionally referred to the Welcoming Family program and others were placed in the Extended Family, in the majority of cases having a history of physical violence.
