This study sought to analyze the reflexes of fiscal citizenship promoted by the Nota MT Program from the perspective of Institutional Theory. The research is descriptive, with a quantitative approach and, regarding the documentary procedure. The population is made up of all registered users from the 141 municipalities in the State of Mato Grosso/Brazil.

The statistical treatment of the data obtained was performed using the SPSS 25 software (Statistic Packpage Social Science). Among the main results, it was identified that there was no statistically significant change in the adhesions to the Nota MT Program, a fact that may be related to the Covid-19 pandemic, which influenced the population's consumption pattern and made it difficult to disseminate and sweepstakes. However, comparing the beginning of 2019 with the end of 2021, it was possible to identify the change in population behavior by observing an increase (52%) in the number of invoices issued with CPF.

ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the health and well-being of people around the world. In this period, urban parks and green areas were recognized as vital for the physical and mental health of the population. However, in Brazil, studies in the context of the pandemic are scarce. In this sense, the objective of this research was to understand the importance and benefits of urban green areas for users' physical and psychological well-being from a study in Parque Solon de Lucena, in Joao Pessoa-PB, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifty interviews were conducted with park visitors. The results showed that most users had completed high school, and more than half (58%) of visitors were between 16 and 35 years old. It was also verified that the population perceives the benefits for the well-being provided by the park and that the relaxation of restrictive measures led to an increase in interest in attending the park.
ABSTRACT
The state of Tocontins composes the Legal Amazon. That is the locus of the study, which aims to narrate the teaching of History in times of the pandemic in the Bask Education in Palmas, during the 2020 school year.

The teachers express the difficulties of both educating and learning in times of pandemic, whereas that most students do not have access to media, via the Internet at home. The interviewees emphasize the concern with regard to the Covid-19 spread caused by coronavirus, which recommendation is the continuity of virtual classes, and face-to-face return after the vaccine. It is concluded that, even in times of pandemic, face to all challenges presented, teachers and students perform educational activities.
ABSTRACT
Background: Heart disease is the leading non-obstetric cause of maternal death during pregnancy. In this field, the emergence of pandemic COVID-19 has caused the worst-case scenario considering that pregnant women are more susceptible to viral infections, and preexisting cardiac disease is the most prevalent co-morbidity among COVID-19 deaths. Purpose: To assess the maternal and fetal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy of women with heart diseases. Methods: During the year 2020, among 82 pregnant women with heart disease followed consecutively at the Instituto do Coração-InCor, seven of them with an average age of 33.2 years had COVID-19 during their pregnancies. The underlying heart diseases were rheumatic valve disease (5 pt), congenital heart disease (1 pt) and one case with acute myocarditis, without preexisting cardiopathy. The prescription (antibiotics, inotropes, corticosteroids and others) used was according to the clinical conditions required for each patient, however subcutaneous or intravenous heparin was used in all patients. Results: Only one case had an uneventful maternal-fetal course, the other six women required hospitalization / ICU for an average of 25.3 days, including the need for mechanical ventilation in two of them. Serious complications were related to respiratory failure (ADRS), recurrent atrial flutter with hemodynamic instability, acute pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock associated with sepsis which caused two maternal deaths. There were two emergency mitral valve interventional, percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty and valve bioprosthesis replacement, respectively. There were five premature births with an average gestational age of 34.2 weeks of gestation, which resulted in one stillbirth. Pathological findings of three placental and the six-months follow-up of the babies did not confirm vertical transmission of COVID-19. Conclusions: The uncertain evolution given of the overlapping complications of three conditions-COVID-19, pregnancy, and heart disease-implies an increased risk for women with heart diseases of childbearing age, for whom pregnancy should be discouraged and planned after vaccination.

ABSTRACT
This article analyses through a conceptual cartography, school safety, and its association with the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The qualitative methodology allowed the identification of a model of safe learning space in Higher Education, which emerges as a proposal to establish safe learning spaces and manage the pandemic. Once this model implemented, it was possible to inform, mobilize, attend to school content and be in confinement, which meant raising awareness of learning in Higher Education in an increasingly changing knowledge society.
