Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre como minorias raciais e econômicas podem se apropriar de recursos sociolinguísticos historicamente dominados por elites, como é o caso da língua inglesa. Ao reconfigurarem domínios legitimados de circulação de recursos sociolinguísticos e suas funções dentro de estruturas de dominação, participantes dessas minorias podem redirecioná-los para fins emancipadores. A partir da análise das práticas discursivas de três feministas negras brasileiras – Marielle Franco, Anielle Franco e Pamella Passos – e em especial de seus intertextos com a noção de escrevivência, de Conceição Evaristo, discuto como o inglês e outros recursos semióticos, como os letramentos institucionais, têm sido reinscritos por elas em domínios alternativos, afetivos e coletivos. Em vez de buscar inclusão passiva em espaços legitimados, essas intelectuais constroem formas de presença insurgente, promovem a intrusão crítica em domínios hegemônicos e reposicionam a linguagem como prática de sobrevivência, escuta e esperança. Ancoradas no contexto brasileiro, essas reconfigurações dialogam com outras experiências transnacionais de contestação ao colonialismo linguístico.

Objective: This study investigated the approaches and attributes of Gross National Happiness (GNH) to identify its possible implications for small Amazonian communities. Theoretical framework: The theories that underpin this study's findings and guided the investigation focus on GNH, structured into nine pillars and their respective components, encompassing economic measurement and evaluation, sustainable use of natural resources, and people's quality of life. Method: The methodology adopted for this research was conceptual bibliographic research in its four stages: 1) the formulation of research questions and their respective response patterns, 2) data collection in the Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, 3) data analysis and organization using semantic and content analysis techniques, and 4) the generation of answers to the research questions. Results and discussion: The results revealed 14 distinct GNH approaches, organized into five semantic groups. Sixty-two attributes characterizing the GNH were organized into eight semantic groups, enabling the elaboration of a diagrammatic scheme that synthesizes the state of the art. These findings were used to present seven possible implications of the GNH for small Amazonian communities, six of which are positive and one that deserves caution. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research appear in the form of a list of impacts on small Amazonian communities and their peoples: improvement of well-being and quality of life, strengthening of social capital and community management, environmental conservation integrated into the way of life, promotion of a sustainable and resilient economy, reinforcement of cultural identities and traditional knowledge, appropriate technological development, and risk of instrumentalization and poorly adapted implementation. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by presenting a theoretical-empirical framework for structuring action plans to eliminate the centuries-old misery of the traditional peoples of the Amazon. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the list of implications that GNH can bring to small Amazonian communities.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to understand the approaches and attributes present in the conceptual definitions of environmental sustainability from scientific studies published in 2023 and 2024 and their implications for agribusiness. Theoretical Framework: The theories that underpin this study's findings relate to environmental sustainability in its economic aspects, social well-being, and the use of natural resources in agribusiness production systems. Method: The conceptual bibliographic method was used in its four stages (formulation of research questions, data collection, data organization, and presentation of answers). Data were collected using a dataset, and the results were generated through semantic and content analysis techniques. Results and Discussion: The results identified 21 distinct approaches used in the collected conceptual definitions, organized into eight semantic groups (satisfaction, responsibility, maintenance, management, state, condition, use, and capacity), 66 attributes, organized into 11 groups (well-being, capacity, maintenance, guarantee, balance, impediment, beneficiaries, preservation, reduction, supply, and use), and eight implications of environmental sustainability for agribusiness. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by presenting eight potential implications of environmental sustainability for agribusiness, grounded in recent scientific knowledge.

This study presents a review of the scientific literature on maturity and its possible implications for Industry 4.0 practice. It used the conceptual bibliographic method in its four stages (formulation of research questions, data collection in scientific databases, data organization, and presentation of answers) applied to scientific studies published in 2023 and 2024 available in scientific databases, collected through a data mass table, whose results were generated through the application of semantic and content analysis techniques. The results identified nine maturity approaches and 27 attributes that characterize them, grouped into 10 possible implications for Industry 4.0. The conclusion shows that it is possible to accelerate the maturity of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations, even by jumping from one era of the industrial revolution to another.

Objectives: This study aimed to present a proposed conceptual definition for technological teaching and assess its implications for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework establishes links between technological education and the dimensions of technological learning. It connects technological teaching to the teleological nature of enabling individuals to develop appropriate actions for human life, with special attention to those aimed at achieving the SDGs. Method: The conceptual bibliographic method was used in its four stages: 1) development of research questions and their response patterns; 2) data collection and analysis; 3) data organization and generation of results; and 4) presentation of findings. Data were collected as conceptual definitions from recent studies available on Google Scholar and analyzed using semantic and content analysis techniques. The results were presented in summary tables and interpreted comparatively with the theoretical framework created. Results and Discussion: The results showed that technological teaching can be considered a partnership between those who teach and those who learn. This partnership helps consolidate the intended learning in their minds by using technologies to produce new technological artifacts that align with the SDGs. Technological teaching differs from traditional teaching (which may use advanced technologies but is not intended to create technologies in the teaching-learning process) due to its teleological nature, which is disconnected from the SDGs. Research Implications: The study offers crucial insights for developing new technological teaching processes across various organizations and audiences, facilitating the understanding of mechanisms linking technological learning to achieving the SDGs. Originality/Value: This study makes a unique contribution to scientific literature by presenting the first proposed conceptual definition for technological teaching, constructed using the scientific method and considering human actions aimed at achieving the SDGs.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the equipment used in material handling in an industrial organization in Manaus. Method: The survey method was used, with a material handling process as the unit of analysis. Data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews with the professionals responsible for the process, organized into summary tables, and the results were generated using semantic analysis to answer four guiding research questions. Results and discussion: The results showed that a) the analyzed material handling process is composed of seven stages, starting with reception and ending with dispatch, b) each stage is operationalized with the execution of a maximum of four activities, c) only four pieces of equipment were sufficient for the handling of all materials, and d) the specifications of the material handling equipment are in accordance with the types of materials to be handled. Research Implications: The findings of this study show that combining human-powered material-handling equipment with advanced technologies for real-time data collection and transmission is sufficient to achieve the logistical objectives of simple, few-step processes. Originality / Value: The results show that traditional material-handling equipment, such as manual pallet jacks, can integrate with advanced technologies when the handling process is not complex. Complex processes often require replacing human labor across almost all equipment with mechanical equipment (such as electric pallet jacks and forklifts) or automation.

Family farming on the Amazon continues to face a centuries-old challenge in adopting management and production methods and tools based on contemporary science and technology, such as accounting and financial tools for planning and monitoring the assets and financial resources of its enterprises. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the use of accounting and financial tools on a small rural property operating in the family farming segment located in the city of Iranduba, Amazonas state. The method used consisted of collecting data on the social, productive, and accounting-financial aspects of the enterprise, collected through interviews and on-site observation, organized and presented in summary tables. The social results showed low education levels and a family composed of only three people, considered young. The productive aspects presented a small variety of products, some of which were organic, with a small cultivation area and low production. The accounting-financial aspects demonstrated a lack of use of any planning and control tools. The conclusion shows that the lack of accounting and financial rationality contributes significantly to the continued poverty that is so common in Amazonian family farming.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the approaches and attributes contained in the conceptual definitions of management systems found in the scientific literature and their implications for cooperative organizations. Theoretical background: The theories that underpinned this study combined aspects of information and communication technologies with management systems, organizational designs, and their relationships with the internal and external environments of organizations, as well as the specificities of cooperative organizations. Methodology: The main steps of the method used were: a literature review with data collected from the scientific databases Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar; mapping of equivalence terms used in the literature to address management systems; analysis of the attributes contained in the collected conceptual definitions and organization into semantic groups; organization of the data with the approaches and attributes; and mapping of the implications of management systems for cooperative organizations. Findings and conclusions: The results identified seven equivalence terms for management system (processes, standard, set, specificity, solutions, treatment, and system), seven semantic groups of attributes (planning process, relationship with the environment and the organization, organization process, marketing, control process, technology, and management process), and nine implications of management systems for cooperative organizations. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by finding that cooperatives whose management practices are structured within management systems have greater potential to strengthen governance, increase member participation, improve operational efficiency, and enhance economic and social sustainability, but also face organizational, cultural, and financial challenges.
