“…with graduate students from all over Brazil during the pandemic showed that 72.0% of students made changes to their projects [40], which may have jeopardized the other phases of their research schedules, similar to those evidenced in this study. This may have caused both psychosocial and academic frustrations, leading to adaptive behaviors and resilience [41].…”

“…On the other hand, students in the area of agricultural sciences had higher levels of fatigue. The reasons that may support such a finding have already been shown as the pandemic meant that students had to interrupt and/or modify their research [40], which in this area is mostly experimental, often including cultivation and field and laboratory planting [44].…”

The aim of this study was to analyze levels of fatigue and resilience of Brazilian graduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine whether there is an association between fatigue and resilience and sociodemographic and academic factors. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and it was discovered that the variables associated with higher levels of resilience were age; having children; being retired; receiving income above five minimum wages; having had greater problems in other phases of the research schedule; coming from private universities; being from the north of Brazil; studying the area of Health; and having their research schedule unaffected during the pandemic. On the other hand, lack of resilience was associated with not having children; being less well-off financially; being younger; being a woman; studying in a public university; and having to postpone part of the research during the pandemic. The conclusion of the study indicated the need for graduate programs to design strategies to deal with fatigue and promote resilience in Master’s and PhD students.

“…Third, there has been a decline in defenses over the last two years, returning them to levels similar to 2016. This reduction is seen across all graduate programs in Brazil and can be largely attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (Corrêa et al 2022;Ribeiro 2023). For philosophy programs specifically, it may also reflect the 2017 end of mandatory philosophy classes in high schools, constraining even more the field's job market.…”

This paper employs structural topic modeling (STM), a text-mining technique, to describe the academic philosophy landscape in Brazil. Based on a public national database, a corpus consisting of 12,515 abstracts of monographs (theses and dissertations) defended in Philosophy Graduate Programs between 1991 and 2021 was compiled. The final STM model identified 74 meaningful research topics, clustered into 7 thematic categories. This study discusses the prevalence of the most significant topics and categories, their trends across three decades and their (positive or negative) association with the supervisor’s gender. Results show the first empirical evidence that Brazilian philosophical research exhibits a greater focus on philosophers and their works, rather than on specific themes or problems, aligning with common sociological perceptions within the academic community. Moreover, by visualizing the variations in topic prevalence over time, it was possible to track the rise or decline of the major interest categories and topics. Finally, results also show how topics related to male philosophers garner greater attention throughout the corpus and which topics are more or less influenced by gender.

“…For example, in the study by Corrêa et al . ( 25 ), 61.7% of postgraduate students reported anxiety symptoms. Other studies ( 26 - 29 ) found a higher prevalence of symptoms of mental disorders in higher education students and in health professionals than in the general population.…”

Background With the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a need to adopt online teaching methods in a generalized and sudden way, a situation that led to unprecedented changes in the routine of post-graduate students and research development. This study aimed to analyze the evaluation of remote teaching by graduates of master's degrees and advisors in master's programs in the Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine who needed to adapt to a remote teaching methodology in the pandemic. Material and Methods This quantitative study evaluated the remote teaching in the perception of master's graduates and advisors from postgraduate programs in Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine. Data were collected through an online Google forms® questionnaire. Results Participated in the study 14 master graduates and 14 master's advisors. Master graduates evaluated that the professors had a good performance ( p =0.001), that the duration of the classes was adequate ( p =0.015), that the interaction with professors was satisfactory ( p =0.007), that they had good interaction with the advisor ( p =0.001), that they were satisfied with the remote guidance process ( p =0.038) and that face-to-face practical activities were missed ( p =0.002). Master's advisors reported satisfaction with remote teaching, good adaptation ( p =0.018) and motivation for remote teaching ( p =0.016), they evaluated that students were cooperative in activities ( p =0.019) and that face-to-face practical activities were missed ( p =0.002). Conclusions Despite the difficulties, remote teaching proved to be an effective alternative to face-to-face teaching.
