Título: #TecedoresDeAfeto: UMA A/R/TOGRAFIA DO PATRIMÔNIO VIVO Autor(es): Pereira, Vitor de Sampaio Primeiro Orientador: Lemos, Maria Patrícia Freitas de Abstract: This work highlights the artistic practice of an a/r/tographic action research carried out in the Vila-bairro Coqueiro da Praia in Luís Correia, Piauí. Public art produced colaboratively in large dimensions with the lambe-lambe collage technique, consolidates itself as a enhancing of the appreciation of the community's reference people as Living Heritage. The relational approach transforms the territory into an open-air museum, promoting artistic, heritage and sociocultural awareness. The objectives include, in addition to exhibition on a museum tour, the contribution to the community's selfrecognition as guardians of collective memory through the maintenance and communication of their traditional practices. This study innovates in the integration between public art, art-based educational practice, museology and traditional community, highlighting active participation in the recognition and preservation of local heritage.

Título: Percepção sobre o suporte social de mulheres que gestaram na pandemia da COVID- 19 Autor(es): Carvalho, Mariane Cardoso Primeiro Orientador: Freire, Sandra Elisa de Assis Abstract: COVID-19 has proven to be the greatest challenge humanity has faced since the end of World War II. Considering the physiological changes inherent to pregnancy, especially in the immune and respiratory systems, pregnant women were included in the risk group due to the risk of contagion. In this context, this dissertation aimed to identify the perception of social support among women who became pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this purpose, the research was organized into two complementary studies. Study I consisted of a scoping review of the literature, aiming to explore the state of the art on the topic. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA- ScR) extension was used. The search conducted in the SciELO, Web of Science, MEDLINE, PsycNET, and Scopus databases resulted in 1,407 studies, of which 24 met the inclusion criteria. The data revealed that social support acts as a relevant strategy in reducing loneliness during pregnancy. It was also observed that pregnant women subjected to isolation and with low social support presented higher levels of psychological distress. Study II was characterized as a field study aimed to identify the perception of social support of women who became pregnant during the most critical period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants who became pregnant between April 2020 and December 2021 were included, excluding those outside this period. Data collection was conducted online, using a Google Forms questionnaire, with non- probability convenience sampling. The sample consisted of 224 women, with a mean age of 30 years (SD = 5.69), ranging from 18 to 46 years. The instruments used were three scales—the Perceived Social Support Scale (EPSS), the Fear of COVID-19 in the Perinatal Period Scale (EMC19-9), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21)—in addition to a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results showed that, although women perceived themselves receiving social support, no statistically significant correlations were found between social support and fear of COVID-19, nor between social support and the DASS-21 factors. On the other hand, significant correlations were found between fear of COVID-19 and the DASS-21 factors: depression (r = 0.38, p < 0.01), anxiety (r = 0.50, p < 0.01) and stress (r = 0.48, p < 0.01). Furthermore, fear of COVID-19 was found to have predictive power over symptoms of depression (β = 0.35, p < 0.000), anxiety (β = 0.44, p < 0.000), and stress (β = 0.44, p < 0.000), explaining, respectively, 14%, 24%, and 23% of the variability in these symptoms among pregnant women. Thus, the findings of the scoping review corroborate the literature by highlighting social support as a protective factor, playing an important role in preventing mental illness. However, the empirical results of this study did not demonstrate significant correlations between social support and mental health, but they did highlight a strong association between fear of COVID-19 and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in women who became pregnant during the most critical period of the pandemic.

Título: Efeitos da neuromodulação por corrente contínua na ansiedade, controle inibitório e comportamento de risco em jovens universitários Autor(es): Silva, Ana Carolina Martins Monteiro Primeiro Orientador: Medeiros, Paloma Cavalcante Bezerra de Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of tDCS on anxiety in young adults, as well as its effects on inhibitory control and risk behavior. Study I consisted of a systematic review that aimed to gather evidence regarding the use of tDCS in the treatment of adults with anxiety symptoms. The review also sought to examine variations in parameters such as current intensity, electrode montage, number of sessions, and session duration, with the goal of identifying which protocols show promising results depending on the intended outcome. The research was conducted using the SCIELO, PubMed, PsychInfo, Web of Science, and Embase databases, applying eligibility criteria related to tDCS and anxiety. Out of 642 articles found, the final review included eight articles, which revealed heterogeneity among the tDCS protocols used. The importance of the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in interventions targeting anxiety symptoms was emphasized. Attentional bias was highlighted as being directly related to anxiety symptoms, supporting a transdiagnostic perspective. Study II was a pilot experimental study, triple-blind, with repeated measures, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of tDCS on anxiety symptoms, inhibitory control, and risk behavior. Data collection was carried out using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to assess anxiety; the Go/No-Go Task for inhibitory control; and the Balloon Analogue Risk Task for risk behavior. The sample consisted of five university students who underwent two conditions: sham tDCS > active tDCS. The tDCS protocol included five sessions of bilateral stimulation with the anodal electrode positioned on the left DLPFC and the cathodal electrode on the right DLPFC, using a 2mA current for 20 minutes. All participants underwent both conditions, separated by a one-week washout period. Descriptive analyses and the Friedman test were performed using IBM SPSS STATISTICS software, version 23. The results did not indicate significant differences between conditions over time points T0, T1, and T2, except for the experimental condition on the STAI-State and the placebo condition on the STAI-Trait. Furthermore, a reduction in mean anxiety levels was observed over time in the two instruments used in the active condition, while in the sham condition, the decrease in anxiety levels was followed by an increase at the one-week follow-up. The study hypothesis was not confirmed; however, the results suggest that tDCS may modulate anxiety symptoms, albeit subtly. The lack of significance may be attributed to the small sample size, short washout period, broad tDCS protocol, and individual variability in responsiveness to neuromodulation. Therefore, it is recommended that future studies address these limitations by exploring larger samples and appropriate effect sizes.

Título: Bullying e afetividade negativa em crianças e adolescentes Autor(es): Araujo, Gustavo Oliveira de Primeiro Orientador: Medeiros, Emerson Diógenes de Abstract: Bullying and Negative Affectivity are widely discussed in psychology, especially in contexts involving children and adolescents. Negative Affectivity is a psychological construct composed of anxiety, depression, and stress. Evidence suggests that experiencing bullying may be associated with high levels of Negative Affectivity, contributing to increased psychological distress in this population. Therefore, the following question arose: How are bullying and its different forms of involvement (victimization and perpetration) related to Negative Affectivity in children and adolescents? Two studies were conducted to answer this question. Study 1 aimed to gather evidence of the factorial validity and accuracy of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales - Youth Version (DASS-Y) measure for the Brazilian context. Exploratory factor analysis and Item Response Theory (IRT) were performed. The analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP), and R software, and included methods such as categorical factor analysis using the Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) estimator and Item Response Theory (IRT), specifically the graded response model. The results confirmed the scale's three-factor structure (depression, anxiety, and stress), with adequate fit indicators (CFI = 0.91). The subscales demonstrated high internal consistency (α ranging from 0.85 to 0.87). Study 2 aimed to adapt and validate the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale - Youth Version (DASS-Y) in Brazil. The relationship between bullying and Negative Affectivity was also investigated. To achieve these objectives, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEA) were performed. The analyses were performed using SPSS, JASP, and R software. The results revealed a three-factor structure with adequate fit indices (CFI = 1.0, TLI = 1.0, RMSEA = 0.00). The inferential analyses identified that both bullying victimization and perpetration are associated with higher levels of Negative Affectivity. The structural analysis indicated that the tested model fit the observed data significantly better than the baseline model, providing strong statistical support for the model's robustness. The findings of this research offer relevant contributions, such as the validation of a psychometrically robust instrument to assess Negative Affectivity in Brazilian youth and the expansion of understanding of the impact of bullying on mental health. It is concluded that interventions should prioritize actions aimed at emotional support and coping strategies that mitigate the negative effects of bullying.
