Bachelor Thesis Padronização e eficiência: a aplicação do POP na gestão interna da HS Móveis(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0002-07-26) Araújo, Milena Jeane dos Santos; Souza Neto, Pio Marinheiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8131295162406721; Cortez, Ana Eliza Galvão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5881657665523669; Pereira, Marcelo Henrique Neves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4463051942271396The pursuit of quality, efficiency, and process standardization has led organizations to adopt management tools capable of promoting greater operational control and continuous improvement. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the implementation of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in the administrative, credit, and cashier sectors of Rede Unilar HS Móveis, seeking to understand its contribution to activity standardization, error reduction, and operational efficiency improvement. Methodologically, the research is characterized as applied, with a predominantly qualitative approach complemented by descriptive quantitative data, presenting exploratory and descriptive objectives and adopting the case study as its technical procedure. Data collection was carried out through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with employees from the analyzed sectors, and document analysis. The results showed that, before the implementation of the SOP, activities were performed informally, with a high dependence on employees' individual knowledge, lack of standardization, and frequent operational failures. After the implementation of the document, greater uniformity in task execution, reduction of registration and financial errors, decrease in rework, strengthening of operational control, and improvement in communication among sectors were observed. Furthermore, the SOP became an important tool for training new employees and preserving organizational knowledge. It is concluded that the implementation of the Standard Operating Procedure significantly contributed to the improvement of the company's internal processes, promoting greater organization, information reliability, operational efficiency, and strengthening of the quality culture, demonstrating its relevance as a strategic management and continuous improvement tool.Bachelor Thesis A inteligência artificial como ferramenta de apoio à gestão de estoques: um estudo de caso na Willkson Acessórios(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0002-07-26) Silva Brenda Thayná Medeiros; Souza Neto, Pio Marinheiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8131295162406721; Cortez, Ana Eliza Galvão; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5881657665523669; Nascimento, Marcos Adler de Almeida; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0454-8324; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0390182192463372This study analyzed the contributions of artificial intelligence to the improvement of strategic stock management in the company Willkson Acessórios, a micro-enterprise in the auto parts sector located in Currais Novos/RN. The research is characterized as applied, exploratory and descriptive, carried out by means of a case study with a quali-quantitative approach. The data are obtained from the company's management system, including information on bandages, stock, costs, replacement time and operating characteristics of the products. The methodology integrates traditional stock management tools, such as ABC and XYZ classifications and operational indicators, as well as the use of ChatGPT to support the interpretation of data and the formulation of management recommendations. The results show that the integration between traditional methods and artificial intelligence allows identifying critical items, evaluating risks of rupture and improving replacement policies, expanding analytical support for decision making. It is concluded that the use of artificial intelligence, associated with consolidated stock management practices, constitutes a viable strategy to optimize or control two materials, optimize the application of financial resources and strengthen the operational efficiency of microenterprises.Bachelor Thesis Estudo químico e avaliação do potencial antioxidante e antimicrobiano do extrato metanólico da vagem de libidibia ferrea(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0002-07-26) Oliveira, Joyce Fernanda Assis de; Renata Mendonça Araújo; Macedo, Ana Rafaela Silva de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9085-6683; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0663537857626464; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5514-5192; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4163879756935913; https://orcid.org/0009-0001-7042-6037; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1375972997212385; Araújo, Renata Mendonça; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5514-5192; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4163879756935913; Cavalcante, Maria Gorette; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2069510469317474; Santos, Sarah Pollyana Dias dos; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5326-3459; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2486254748932219Libidibia ferrea (Fabaceae), commonly known as jucá or pau-ferro, is a species widely distributed in Brazil and recognized for its therapeutic potential, which is attributed to the diversity of bioactive metabolites found in its different plant tissues. This study aimed to chemically characterize the methanolic extract obtained from the pods of the species and its fractions, evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the methanolic extract and the antioxidant potential of the fractions, and investigate possible mechanisms of action through molecular docking studies. Chemical characterization by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) enabled the proposal of possible structures for the metabolites present in the samples, highlighting fatty acids, phytosterols, and triterpenes. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Salmonella enterica strains and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), and bacterial growth inhibition was observed for all strains tested. Molecular docking studies demonstrated favorable interactions between selected metabolites and the DNA gyrase subunit B (GyrB) protein, suggesting potential activity against this important bacterial target. In the antioxidant assays, the fractions exhibited metal-chelating activity, DPPH radical scavenging capacity, and reducing power in a concentration-dependent manner, with the methanolic and n-butanolic fractions showing the highest activities. Overall, the results indicate that Libidibia ferrea is a promising source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial potential, reinforcing its relevance for pharmacological and biotechnological applications.Bachelor Thesis A trajetória de uma professora-artista no teatro infantil: experiências de formação docente e prática artística(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0001-12-25) Silveira, Helouise Madalena Silva Miranda da; Dr. Jefferson Fernandes Alves; Me. Denilson David de Oliveira Silva; Me. Ana Catharina Urbano Martins de Souza BagolanEl presente trabajo, titulado "La trayectoria de una profesora-artista en el teatro infantil: experiencias de formación docente y práctica artística", tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre mi proceso formativo como profesora-artista, enfatizando las experiencias vividas en el campo del teatro infantil. Adoptando la metodología autobiográfica, la investigación comprende la narrativa de vida como instrumento de reflexión y construcción de saberes, tal como propone Josso (2004), posibilitando revisitar vivencias, atribuir nuevos significados y reconocer aprendizajes formativos de la identidad docente y artística. La trayectoria descrita abarca desde los recuerdos de la infancia hasta las experiencias académicas en la Licenciatura en Teatro de la UFRN, destacando la importancia de los proyectos de extensión, como el Trilhas Potiguares y el PIBID, y de las prácticas supervisadas realizadas en la Escuela de Extensión de la UERN (EDUCA) y en la educación básica. Estas experiencias revelan la interconexión entre teoría y práctica, arte y educación, reafirmando el papel del teatro infantil como espacio de creación, lúdica y formación humana. El estudio también discute el concepto de profesora-artista, fundamentado en autores como Ana Mae Barbosa (1991) y Paulo Freire (1996), entendiendo la enseñanza del arte como un proceso estético, reflexivo y transformador. Así, el trabajo evidencia que la docencia en teatro se constituye en una práctica sensible y creadora, en la cual enseñar y aprender se convierten en experiencias compartidas, mediadas por la afectividad, la escucha y el hacer teatral. Finalmente, mi trayectoria está marcada por un proceso continuo de formación y descubrimiento, en el que el teatro infantil se consolida como campo de investigación, práctica y encanto, contribuyendo a la construcción de una identidad docente basada en el arte, la sensibilidad y la transformación social.Bachelor Thesis Turismo e Place Branding em contexto de crises : o caso da marca Natal(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0001-12-25) Reis, Maria Eduarda Fernandes; Ferreira, Lissa Valéria Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8015374156967844; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2008265767569764; Araújo, Fernanda Santos Gentil; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4735568547227153; Alexandre, Mauro Lemuel de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7233203993967359This Final Course Project analyzes the perception of the "Natal" tourism brand and the application of Place Branding strategies in a scenario marked by recent crises, especially those related to security and the pandemic. The overall objective was to assess the destination's image in the face of these crises, linking the perceptions of tourists, residents, and stakeholders to territorial branding practices and repositioning actions adopted by public managers and marketing professionals. The research adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining a survey of the general public and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, public managers, and marketing professionals. The results show that Natal's spontaneous identity remains strongly associated with "Beach," "Sun," and "Dunes," elements that underpin its high approval rating. 75.5% rate the brand as "Good" or "Excellent." Despite this, most respondents acknowledge negative impacts caused by the crises. The perception of managers and professionals confirms a drop in tourist flow and a weakening of the destination's image, even though repositioning initiatives, such as the Safe Travels seal, have been implemented. Qualitative analysis also revealed weaknesses in institutional communication and a feeling of exclusion among representatives of the private tourism industry. It concludes that strengthening the Natal brand depends on advancements in infrastructure, marketing, and tourism offerings. The success of Place Branding strategies requires their formalization and the construction of collaborative governance that transparently integrates the strategic vision of public management and the practical experience of professionals in the sector, ensuring the protection and continuous development of the destination's image.Bachelor Thesis O processo de comunicação interna no setor público : um estudo de caso na Subsecretaria do Esporte e do Lazer Estado do Rio Grande do Norte(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0005-12-25) Medeiros, Jéssica Williany Cavalcante de; Carvalho, Valdemir Galvão de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5422479849198033; Felipe, Israel José dos Santos; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8608-0029; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4608734331831234; Brito, Márcio Carvalho de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8036211996811674Internal communication has assumed an increasingly relevant role in the organizational context, favoring the agile and accurate transmission of information among employees. This efficient communication process contributes to the improvement of decision-making and, consequently, to the achievement of institutional objectives. In this sense, the study aims to analyze how the internal communication process occurs in the Sub-Secretariat of Sport and Leisure of the State of Rio Grande do Norte. The specific objectives were: to identify how relevant institutional information is passed on to employees and whether there is clarity in communication between sectors; to ascertain the main flaws and difficulties existing in the internal communication flows of the Sub-Secretariat; to develop a SWOT analysis and a cross-SWOT analysis based on the questionnaire results, in order to identify and relate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, allowing a strategic evaluation of internal communication within the Sub-Secretariat. To this end, a mixed-methods approach of a descriptive nature was adopted, combining bibliographic research, case study, and questionnaire application as data collection procedures. Among the main results obtained, the strong presence of informal communication in daily activities stands out, as well as the need for greater integration of information between employees, interns, and different sectors. These findings highlight the relevance of internal communication as an essential tool for the coordination and integration of organizational practices.Bachelor Thesis Participação social e governança: um recorte da percepção sobre o Aeroporto na Região Metropolitana de Natal/RN(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0004-12-25) Medeiros, Rodrigo Danilson de Paiva; Macedo, Marconi Neves; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8684-2983; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0789522884294004; https://orcid.org/0009-0007-2125-6418; ttp://lattes.cnpq.br/8705259051552110; Araújo, Fábio Resende de; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8268-0078; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2159396359014027; Alves Filho, Antônio; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8370-1096; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4852627579601532Noting that the population was not consulted and included in the decision-making processes during the bidding process and public hearings regarding Aluízio Alves International Airport, and recognizing the need for this imminent (re)discussion, this study's main objective is to promote participation social, through a survey for academic purposes, on a Likert Scale, aiming to capture, analyze and discuss data on the perceptions of the populations of Natal, Parnamirim and São Gonçalo do Amarante, about the enterprise and the issues that directly relate to it, under the perspective of public and metropolitan governance.

These municipalities were chosen because they are the most affected by the project, taking into account the aforementioned change of location between Parnamirim (Augusto Severo Airport) and São Gonçalo do Amarante (Aluízio Alves International Airport) and recognizing that Natal is located between these and comprises the large flow of cargo and passengers that comes and comes from these, in addition to being a hub for the Natal Metropolitan Region (RMN) and also because these cities have the largest populations in the RMNBachelor Thesis História da criação do Curso de Biblioteconomia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte à luz da história oral(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0004-12-25) Silva, Bruna Leticia da; Cunha, Jacqueline de Araújo; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1058-4260; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9945640747181562; https://orcid.org/0009-0005-2950-0636; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9922042876179561; Macêdo, Patricia Ladeira Penna; https://orcid.org/0009-0003-8215-3763; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8774777542544081; Tanus, Gabrielle Francinne de Souza Carvalho; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2463-7914; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0229537475582012Library Science is institutionalized as an undergraduate degree program across all regions of Brazil. However, this academic training reached the Northeast region at a later stage, with Rio Grande do Norte being one of the most recent implementations. Consequently, a need was identified to document the initial trajectory of the Library Science program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), established in 1996. To this end, this study aimed to understand the process of establishing the Department of Library Science (DEBIB) and the Library Science undergraduate program at UFRN, based on the narratives of the pioneering professors who participated in its creation. This research adopts a qualitative approach and employs semi-structured interviews as the primary data collection instrument, conducted with four retired professors from the institution. The testimonies were analyzed interpretatively, aiming to understand the challenges, motivations, and contributions of these professionals to the development of the Library Science field in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. The results highlight the historical relevance of these individual trajectories in the consolidation of Library Science in the region, revealing a journey of resistance, dedication, and professional recognition. It is concluded that the establishment of the program represented a significant milestone in the professionalization of the area in Rio Grande do NorteBachelor Thesis De “rainha do rebolado” a “rainha dos memes”: a performatização do corpo feminino sobre a influência da mídia no caso Gretchen.(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0001-12-25) Fialho, Letícia Martins; José Zilmar Alves da Costa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0498666096451204; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3541292660796741; Marcela Costa da Cunha Chacel; Josenildo Soares BezerraThis project analyzes the singer and dancer Gretchen in relation to the reproduction of stereotypes surrounding the performative representation of the female body. The research examines how her media presence reflects, reinforces, or challenges stereotypes of the female body established by mass culture. The theoretical framework addresses concepts such as mass culture, beauty standards, and digital influence, drawing on authors such as WOLF (2018), NÓBREGA (2004 e 2011), BUTLER (2018) and SANTAELLA (1996). Methodologically, a cataloging of news items with content analysis is adopted, examining the singer's posts about her plastic surgery transformations. The results seek to understand the impact of these narratives on the perception of her followers and the influence of the media in the construction and deconstruction of aesthetic ideals.Bachelor Thesis Fatores associados ao tempo de administração da primeira dieta de recém-nascidos internados em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 0001-12-25) Santos, Raquel de Carvalho; Freitas, Fernanda da Fonseca; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7349-0333; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6100035014265795; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7334-3045; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8822021869710329; Bezerra, Danielle Soares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4545867903131219; Costa, Priscila Nunes; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2626-5360; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7053963527719774OBJECTIVES: To verify the clinical-nutritional factors associated with the time to first feeding in newborns admitted to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital. METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted with 46 newborns, divided into two groups: Group 1 (feeding ≤24h of life) and Group 2 (feeding >24h). Data were collected from medical records regarding maternal and neonatal variables and anthropometric outcomes at discharge, and associated with the time to first feeding. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test for independent samples and Pearson's chi-square test, considering p<0.05. RESULTS: The majority of the sample (89.1%) started feeding within the first 24 hours. Delayed initiation (Group 2) was significantly associated with lower gestational age (p=0,04), greater need for respiratory support (p=0,005), and severity of clinical status (p=0,036). Although newborns in Group 2 presented lower mean weight and length at discharge, the difference was not statistically significant compared to Group 1. CONCLUSION: Delayed initiation of feeding is associated with immaturity and clinical instability, specifically lower gestational age and ventilatory dependence. Anthropometric outcomes suggest that the time to feeding reflects the neonate's baseline severity, reinforcing the need for strategies for safe nutrition in critical patients.
