The supply chain management can be considered as an expanded and updated vision of the traditional material s management. It is essential part of the quality of the construction, representing the integrated control and the global knowledge of the several existent flows in the production process. It is necessary to recognize that the supply sector constitutes substantial contribution for the company s operation. Among its several activities, the purchase of materials deserves an emphasis. It is verified that the necessary information and authorizations to manage this process flows thru several administrative sectors of the construction company. As strategy, companies use information and production planning and control systems integrated through computer software. Another used strategy is the practices of partnerships with the suppliers. However, it is verified that not always these strategies are implemented with success. In this context, it is the objective of this assignment to characterize the cycle of material purchase and its administration form in the construction of buildings. Through the method of case study two medium size construction companies were researched. The analyses allow to present guidelines that aid in the administration of the material purchase cycle.

The participation of women in the paid workforce has increased significantly in recent decades, allowing women to make an important contribution to the family income. Apart from their professional activities, many women are also responsible for the greater part of household labor and childcare activities. Reconciling these responsibilities can be difficult, due to the sheer number of activities to be accomplished, especially during periods when professional and family demands are intense. As such, returning to work following a maternity leave may be an especially difficult time, when the high volume of care for the baby is added to work routines. In addition, legislation that secures the right to a maternity leave does not guarantee adequate workplace support for mothers of infants and very young children. As such, mothers who return to work when their children are very young may experience difficulties to maintain a satisfactory involvement with their child, as well as maintaining their job performance. The extent to which the mother-child relationship is undermined is of great importance, given that poor maternal involvement is a risk factor for the development of later problems in early childhood, as this may have a negative effect on the emotional bonds between mother and child and reduce the frequency of stimulating interactions. This study identified sources of support and strategies used by teachers to reconcile childcare and paid work; the reactions and difficulties experienced by these mothers; their wellbeing; and the activities undertaken by them and by their husbands, in caring for their infants. Individual interviews were conducted, using questions with openended and fixed-format responses, including a series of scales to measure workplace factors and personal well-being, with 40 teachers who had children under two years of age. The results indicate that few strategies were used by the employers to support these women; their principal sources of support, although unsatisfactory, were their husbands and other close family members. In general, the study participants felt over burdened, with little time for themselves or to be with their children. Thus, one can see the importance of changes in the work environment and of a more equal division of household labor between the marital partners, representing initiatives that could generate positive changes in the women s professional and family experiences. Becoming a mother is treated as a private event that should not create an onus for the employer. However, the experiences of these women show the importance of having employers assume a more supportive posture, to guarantee the effective performance of their employees as well as their greater wellbeing during a period that is so critical in the life of these mothers, their children and the students they teach.

Methyl parathion (MP) is an organophosphorus insecticide worldwide used in agriculture and aquaculture due to its high activity against a broad spectrum of insect pests. It is employed as pesticide in agriculture and in food storage shelters, as well as in fish culture tanks to kill aquatic larval stages of insects. The effect of exposure to 2 ppm of a commercial formulation of MP (Folisuper 600 BR, methyl paration 600 g.L-1) on catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), reduced glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) of the liver, white muscle, gills, erythrocytes and plasma of the freshwater fish matrinxã, Brycon cephalus, was evaluated after 96 h of treatment. MP exposure resulted in a significant induction of SOD and CAT activity in all tissues, except in plasma, when compared with controls. However, the GPx activity decreased significantly in the white muscle and gills, whereas no alterations were observed in hepatic, plasma and erythrocyte GPx activity. MP also induced a significant increase in GST activity in all tissues and a concurrent decrease in blood and tissue GSH levels. In addition, LPO values in the white muscle, gills and plasma increased significantly after MP exposure whereas hepatic and erythrocyte LPO levels did not show any significant alteration. The current data suggest that MP has oxidative-stress-inducing potential in B. cephalus, and that the gills and white muscle are the most sensitive organs with poor antioxidant potentials. The parameters studied in this investigation can also be used as biomarkers of exposure to MP. The antioxidant effect of selenium (Se) in reducing the MP-induced oxidative stress in this experimental model was evaluated in fish fed during 60 days, before exposure to 2 ppm of MP, with diets containing 1.5 mg Se.Kg-1 ration (group MP 1,5Se) or Se-free ration (group MP 0Se). Group MP 0Se exhibited, in all tissues, the same response presented by fish of the first experimental protocol, fed with commercial ration (group MP 0,22Se). Selenium supplementation reversed this trend. Significant increases in LPO levels and concurrent decreases in GPx activity in gills and white muscle were not observed in group MP 1,5Se. Similarly, decreases in GSH levels were not observed in any tissue of this experimental group. In addition, erythrocyte and plasma GPx activity also increased significantly in group MP 1,5Se, with a concomitant reduction and/or maintenance of LPO levels. These results suggest that dietary Se supplementation may protect cells against MP-induced oxidative stress, preventing increases in LPO levels and decreases in GSH content and GPx activity in B. cephalus tissues. According to these data Se supplementation is important to counteract the oxidative damage induced by MP in B. cephalus.

In this study we investigated the temporal dynamics of a chironomid assemblage in a forested stream located in southeastern Brazil. First, we analyzed some diversity patterns of this assemblage by describing two macroecological relationships (body size-species richness and body size-abundance) and by testing with they vary in an intra-annual scale. Second, we analyzed the emergence phenology using a time series of 48 weekly samples. In general, both species richness and abundance peaked on intermediate body sizes, moreover these relationships showed to be variable in this intra-annual scale; Chironomidae emergence was not seasonal, neither was related to any environmental variables measured; on the other hand, the most persistent species (Caladomyia sp. 1, Endotribelos sp. 4, Caladomyia sp. 2, and Corynoneura sp. 1) appeared to have some temporal structure on emergence, probably associated with photoperiod and minimum air temperature respectively; there was no synchrony in species emergence with most taxa emerging together through the year; species richness as taxonomic composition did not change over time.

Considering the effects that living with autistic children can have on a family, most authors have investigated the familiar adjustment through a focus in the mothers. Relatively few studies have evaluated the adjustment siblings of the autistic child. And these studies, however, have reported conflicting results. While some authors report that those siblings are well adjusted other studies find that having an autistic sibling can have negative effects on a child. The contrast is attributed to methodological problems and the need for further investigation. The main purpose of the present study is to investigate behavioral problems and social competence in siblings of children with autism and to evaluate their perception of familiar and social relationships. Eight brothers were selected to participate in the study. Four having an autistic sybling, and four having a normal sybling. Instruments included two questionnaires witch evaluated social competence and behavioral problems (CBCL and YSR) and a semi-structured interview. Results indicated that siblings of children with autism present more behavioral problems and scores of social competence lower than those presented by control group; this tendency is stronger in the younger siblings. The siblings reported higher levels of responsibility when compared to the control group and have difficulties for dealing with the brother s disease.

Ti-Pt/PbO2 electrodes were obtained by electrodeposition of PbO2 films at 65 °C and with different dopant(s) (Fe, Co, F, Fe and F, Co and F) contents in the oxide matrix, which were controlled under pre-established and optimized conditions (current densities as well as concentrations of the dopant ions in the electrodeposition baths). Tafel curves in 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 showed that the higher the dopant content in the films, the higher was the electrocatalytic activity towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), whose mechanism, in a general way, was not changed. The increased electrocatalytic activity was considered as resulting from oxygen defects in the crystalline structure of the oxides, due to dopants action and also morphologic effects. The structural characterization of the films by X-ray diffractometry showed that the structure of the films was always the same, i.e. β- PbO2. The electrochemical performance of pure Ti-Pt/β-PbO2 electrodes, or doped with Fe, Co and F (together or separately), in the oxidation of simulated wastewaters containing the reactive blue 19 dye (RB 19) or phenol, using filter-press reactors, was carried out and then compared with that of a boron-doped diamond electrode (Nb/BDD). For the electrooxidation of the dye ([RB 19]o = 25 ppm, Q = 2.4 L h-1, i = 50 mA cm-2, V = 0.1 L, θ = 25 oC and A = 5 cm2), the results showed that: a) the performances of the electrodes in the dye decolorization were quite similar, achieving 100% decolorization, but in some cases 90% decolorization was achieved by applying only ~0.3 A h L-1 (8 min); b) the reduction of the wastewater organic load, monitored by its total organic carbon content (TOC), was greater for the 1 mM Ti- Pt/β-PbO2-Fe,F electrode (obtained from an electrodeposition bath containing 1 mM Fe3+), which presented a COT reduction of 95% after 2 h of electrolysis, while for the pure β-PbO2 and Nb/BDD electrodes the reductions were 84% and 82%, respectively. In the case of phenol electrooxidation in the semi-pilot scale ([phenol]o = 1000 ppm, Q ~ 120 L h-1, i = 100 mA cm-2, V = 1 L, θ = 40 ºC and A = 63 cm2), the 1mM Ti-Pt/β-PbO2-Co,F and Ti-Pt/β-PbO2 electrodes were the most efficient ones, attaining COD (chemical oxygen demand) reductions of approximately 75% and 63% and COT reductions of approximately 51% and 43%, respectively.

In this work we present a bayesian methodology to estimate the number of coincident individuals of two lists, considering the occurrence of correct and incorrect registers of the informations registers of each individual present in the lists. We adopt, in this model, three di¤erent prioris for the number of coincident pairs and study its performance through simulated data. Due to di¢ culties found in the choice of the hiperparameters of this model, we present as solution to the this problem a hierarchic bayesian model and verify its adequateness through the gotten estimates for simulated data.

The main subject of this work is to simulate structural and dynamical properties of MeO type alkaline-earth oxides, where Me is an element of the family 2 (Me = Ca, Sr and Ba). The use of the Molecular Dynamics method (MD) was implemented in isobaric-isoenthalpic ensemble (N, P, H), in which the volume is a dynamical variable, in order to study the eﬀect of the pressure and the temperature on such materials. The interaction potential between atoms consists of a pair potential, known as Vashishta- Rahman potential, characterized by terms that represent the steric repulsion, the Coulomb interactions due to charge transfer, the induced charge-dipole interaction due to the large electronic polarizability of the ions, and the last is the van der Waals dipole-dipole interaction. The simulations had been carried out for the three systems composed of 1728 atoms, 864 Me− type atoms and 864 oxygen O . The study of the temperature dependence is carried through the heating of such systems with a rate 4.59 K/ps and, after to reach the solid-liquid phase transistion, each system was submitted to cooling with the same rate that it was heated. Through the trajectories in the phase space it was possible to calculate the density of vibrational states, the pair distribution function, from which it was possible to determine the behavior of the Debye-Waller factor, and the temperature and pressure frequency coeﬃcients for each material. The eﬀect of the hydrostatic pressure on the systems was studied through the implementation of the statical and dynamical calculations. In the first study is possi- xi ble to determine the energetic sequency of the allotropic forms, the cohesivy energies, bulk modules, lattice parameters for each phase of each material. The static pressures of structural phase transistion, between the B1(N aCl) and B2(CsCl) phases, for calcium (CaO), strontium (SrO) and barium (BaO) oxides, were 71.5 GP a, 34 GP a and 105 GP a, respectively. Through the dynamic application of hydrostatic pressure to the systems, the structural phase transformations were observed from B1(N aCl) to B2(CsCl) phases, around 100 GP a, 90 GP a and 220 GP a for calcium (CaO), strontium (SrO) and barium (BaO) oxides, respectively. The confirmation of the structural phase transformations was given by the changes in the coordination number from 6 to 8 (MeO), in the bond angles (O − Me − O) −type from 90◦ and 180◦, B1(N aCl) phase, to 70◦, 109◦ and 180◦ (O − Me − O), which are the characteristic angles of the B2(CsCl) phase, and by the change in the pair distribution functions from the characteristic peaks of the B1(N aCl) phase to the characteristic peaks of the B2(CsCl) phase. A comparison with the experimental results in literature is made in order to validate our results.

The present research analysed the results of the distance pilot-course Consumo Sustentável/Consumo Responsável - desenvolvimento, cidadania e meio ambiente , that it was proposed by CECEMCA, through the accord between MEC and UNESP, approved in 2004 and offered to teachers in a public elementary school in the Rio Claro city. The methodology consisted on analyzing three questionnaires, the homeworks, the observed class and the narrative, besides another questionary developed to answering the following question: How the Basic Education´s teachers evaluated their participation on the distance pilot-course Consumo Sustentável/Consumo Responsável - desenvolvimento, cidadania e meio ambiente ? In a review of literature it were searched works about Distance Environmental Education, but it were not found papers that focused Sustainable Consume. The results proved that it is necessary to reformulate some aspects to the next courses. However, in the teachers´ point of view, the course contributed to their teaching practice and professional development.

This dissertation investigates the use of Automatic Summarization (AS) techniques on Information Retrieval (IR), two areas that have attracted growing attention due to the continuous growth of information repositories in digital format. The main goal of this work is to verify the contribution of extracts generated automatically in two stages of the IR: indexing and Pseudo Relevance Feedback (PRF). In general, the main goal of both phases is to find the most descriptive terms of a given document. This goal in turn is strongly related to that of the AS techniques to summarize the main parts of a document which justifies the study. In order to verify the effectiveness of the AS techniques, we have developed five systems that use extracts generated by a summarizing system that was considered useful in the task of indicating the content of documents to human readers. These systems were assessed through a set of documents written in Portuguese to test IR. In general, the results show that the generated extracts were not useful for indexing, presenting worse performance compared to when using a full document for IR. In the PRF case, however, the results obtained using specific extracts were better than those obtained by a system that does not embed PRF. The best results were obtained when using query-biased multi-documents extracts, indicating that this type of extract may be useful for PRF.

The Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja, Aves: Threskiornithidae) is a wading bird species which breeds in wetland colonies from the southern United States (US) to the pampas of Argentina. Brazilian colonies are abundant in the Pantanal region, Rio Grande do Sul marshes and in the north region of this country. Adults undergo two annual molt periods which partially overlap with the reproductive cycle. The species has been described as socially monogamous based on field observations of only one couple. We sampled five Pantanal and one Rio Grande do Sul breeding colonies, applying nestling blood and feather sampling and a new non-invasive methodology, the collection of adult molted feathers. Four species-specific and one heterologous microsatellite markers were used to characterize the genetic variability distribution and levels of genetic structure within and between the colonies; to estimate levels of genetic relatedness between nestlings found at the same nest to infer about breeding behavior in the wild; and to estimate and compare the distribution of genetic variability and values of genetic relatedness between male and female adults to infer about patterns of natal dispersal. Mean observed heterozigosity (0,575) was comparable to the reported for a wild-caught population maintained in a US zoo. Results are discussed supposing reduced losses of genetic variability in the US population after the population decline undergone by it, or by a rapid recovery of this population after the bottleneck. Another possibility was hypothesized considering that Brazilian Pantanal population may be declining. No evidences were found of genetic structuring nor differentiation between the colonies (global FST = -0.002, P: 0,59), thus suggesting the existence of high levels of recent or past gene flow between them. Unexpected low relatedness values with significant probability (LOD) values were observed for some dyads found at the same nests. We suggest that extra-pair copulation and/or brood parasitism, already observed in captivity birds, can be occurring in Roseate Spoonbill natural populations, but this fact may be further explored. Comparative analyses showed that genetic variability distribution and relatedness values did not differ significantly between male and female adult samples. The interpretation of these results indicates that both sexes of Roseate Spoonbill apparently present similar patterns of natal dispersal.

The main objective of this research is to present and analyse the debates which happen in the Tribunal Superior do Trabalho TST (High Labour Court), superior organ of the Brazilian Labour Justice from 1979 to 1988, i. e., from the period of political opening to the National Constituent Assembly. This study tried to draw the issues that gained notoriety in the Labour Justice at the moment of the democracy consolidation which culminated with the approval of the New Federal Constitution and which is its correlation with the debates of the Political Science of the time. Thus, our aim is to establish the relationship between the fields of Law and Politics.

This work describes the results of the search for insecticidal compounds from the Meliaceae family. The samples assayed against fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda were the hexane, methanol and hydromethanol extracts of twigs, leaves, seeds, aril and exocarp of T. catigua; twigs, leaves, fruits, seeds, aril and exocarp of T. claussenii and twigs, leaves and fruits of T. elegans. The hexane and methanol extracts of leaves, hexane of twigs and methanol of fruits from T. claussenii showed to possess the higher insecticidal activity against S. frugiperda. Nevertheless, the hexane and methanol extracts of fruits from T. elegans showed the highest rate of larval mortality (100 %). The hydromethanol extract of T. elegans showed moderate insecticidal activity and also showed growth inhibition and antifeedant activities. The active extracts were fractionated and the chemical study led to isolation of 20 compounds, including limonoids, triterpenes, coumarins, steroids and one sesquiterpene. From the hexane extract of leaves from T. claussenii were isolated the steroids β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol and sitostenone; the triterpenoids α-amyrin, β-amyrin, lupeol, lupenone, in addition to the cycloartane triterpene 24-methylen-26- hydroxycicloartan-3-on and sesquiterpene criptomeridiol. From the methanol extract of leaves of T. claussenii were isolated the steroids 24-methylen-3 β,4 β,22 α- trihydroxy-colesterol and 3- β-O- β-D-glucopyranosilsitosterol. From the methanol extract of fruits from T. elegans were isolated the coumarins 6,7- dimethoxycoumarin, 6-methoxy-7-hydroxycoumarin e 7-hydroxycoumarin. The same coumarins and the steroids were also isolated from the hexane extract of fruits from T. elegans. The limonoids cedrelone and 11 β-methoxycedrelone were isolated from the hexane extract of aril from T. catigua. Limonoids methylangolensate together with the photogedunin epimeric mixture were isolated from the methanol extract of aril from T. catigua. This is first report of the isolation of limonoids from T. catigua. Triterpens isolated from Cedrela fissilis and limonoids isolated from Cipadessa fruticosa (Meliaceae) were tested against S. frugiperda. Among them odoratol showed the best results (insecticidal activity, growth inhibition and antifeedant). Febrifugin A showed the highest rate of mortality of total cycle (at 50 mg kg-1) of 73.3%.

The strong competition, prominent by the globalized dispute, stipulate that the organizations establish innovations much more frequent and rapid in order to attend the technological, economic and political changes which the society goes through. In this context, the continuous improvement of products and productive processes, which determines incremental and constant changes, is necessary to maintain the competitive company. The need of the organizations to emphasize the customers satisfaction makes the ISO 9001 (International Organization for Standardization) quality system to overview its approach, considering in its requirements this subject with the continuous improvement as well as management for processes. In spite of the norm demands a systemic and structured practice, the continuous improvement activities needs initiatives development, on behalf of the organizations, which goes further than programs and techniques, considering also cultural and behavioral aspects which allows the supported continuous improvement of products and processes. In conclusion, it can be pointed out that the norm ISO 9001:2000 relates only what to do and not how to proceed in order to ensure that the company really accomplishes the continuous improvement of its processes. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to analyses the practice of the continuous improvement, identifying the aspects that promote it, related to the individual culture and behavior as well as the organization as a whole. This work describes the results of an exploratory qualitative research accomplished in supplier companies of capital goods and automotive sectors, certified by the norm ISO 9001, analyzing how they promote its continuous improvement programs, considering the cultural development. Afterwards, considerations are accomplished through the examined companies to evaluate the differences identified among the sector organizations presented, concerning the practice of the continuous improvement and the cultural development which support it.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the capoeira angola from the anthropology of performance perspective. Through an ethnographic record, it was aimed to trace the background of the main masters who are responsible for its development and dissemination, mainly in the State of São Paulo; to understand the various aspects through which capoeira angola is represented by its practitioners; and apprehend the multiplicity of meanings that its analysis, being a ritual performance, can offer. In this aspect, the multivocal and multisensorial experiences gathered by capoeira angola, which would be the characteristics of the notion of ritual performance, prompted this analysis. Considering the capoeiristas background in a specific lineage (Mestre Pastinha s), it was possible to notice that angoleiros (capoeira angola followers) of the Centro Esportivo de Capoeira Angola Academia de João Pequeno de Pastinha followed some precepts regarding the body movement techniques, and thus, promoting the conveyance of a set of values that guided its practice. These techniques were related to capoeira angola not only in its definition as a game, fight, dance, sport, art, culture or life philosophy, but also in its several dimensions of practice that establishes an innate relation amongst body movements, music, and moral and esthetics nature principles. The understanding of such techniques brought to the light the capoeira angola strict esthetics basis and, making a symbolic analysis from the anthropology of performance view, the mestre angoleiro stands out as an artist and an educator .

This work analyses the urban project of a housing sets named Parque Vicente Leporace. It is situated in the city of Franca, Sao Paulo State, developed by CECAP, at the end of the 70`s. The project methodology and the context are related to the historic process of arrangement the governmental policies to provide houses for worker in the country. It is distinguished from the others because of its great proportions and for having an urban project that is not traditional and very different, and which can be considered an example of the last phase of urban policy of National Housing Bank BNH-. Its importance lies in the particular characteristics of the project and the way it was implemented step by step. The construction of houses polarised a population of 15 thousand people, which means, they almost built a new town, which has a specific identity inside the city of Franca. It encouraged an urban expansion in that region whose main inhabitants were workers and people from the underclass, giving this place character and importance as a sub urban centre. The urban project was a result of urban majority thoughts during the BNH housing politicies and CECAP structuring at that time. There had already existed a provisional plan about the problems of product a social state housing in the country. The housing policies had decisive moments with crises sights and in the professional course tried to find solutions to urban problems of the housing sets.

Due to the increasing importance of software in society, the software engineering area has devoted continuous effort to improve the software products development process. Today, even with the technological progress, organizations are facing problems to build software within establishing time and costs. Organization and process patterns supply proven solutions to recurring software development process. These pattern categories allow reuse in higher abstract levels, that is, in organizational and process levels. However, else than improve and organize the software development process, organizations must speed up that process to attend market demands. Agile development methods such as Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) are being often utilized due to the proposal of delivering quality software in less time. In that context, this paper proposes an organized form to use organizational and process patterns together with the Scrum agile method, to allow its extension or adaptation according to the needs of the organization that will use it. Based in use experience and using the SPEM metamodel, phases of integration of organizational and process patterns to Scrum have been proposed and used to create a Scrum extension. Scrum, as other agile methods, presents some weak points that need alternatives to improve them. So, using the phases devised, some organization and process patterns have been integrated to Scrum in order to deal with questions not approached by it. The result of a pilot evaluation study conducted to verify the advantages of that integration and of the SPEM modeling, has indicated the convenience to do them. After the application of the integration phases with some patterns and Scrum, the possibility of guidelines creation to integrate organizational and process patterns to other agile methods has been noted.
