The main objective of this doctor degree thesis is to analyze the philosophical problems of Michel Foucault s archeological history presented in two of his major works: Madness and Civilization and The Order of Things. This last work, at the same time philosophical and related to historical science, has as its main goal (defined in its subtitle) to accomplish an archeology of the human sciences. The stretching of his investigation field to study the human sciences can be understood as a natural thematic progression of Foucault s research about the archeology of history. Since Madness and Civilization, Foucault has been always interested in showing how our culture sought to understand what was the fundamentally the other in man. In The Order of Things, taking as a starting-point the study of certain strategies that man used to comprehend himself, Foucault has constructed his archeological history stressing the discontinuities that ended up presenting our own culture as strange to us. It is about the philosophical problem of the historical discontinuities signalized by Foucault and its relation to a traditional, continued and dialectical history that this thesis will deal in its chapters, attempting to understand the philosophical position of this new way of writing history.

Although the influence of interfacial adhesion on short-term mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites has been well established, very little published information is available on the influence of the composite interface/interphase characteristics on fatigue properties of these materials. Fatigue life determination is of paramount importance for engineering applications of injection moulded short glass fiber (GF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites. Thus, this work is related to an investigation on the influence of maleated polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) interfacial compatibilizer on the fatigue resistance properties of 30 percent GF-reinforced PP composites. The mechanical fatigue analysis was carried out using four-point bending tests under deformation controlled mode at frequencies of 1 Hz and complete reverse cycle (R = - 1). In order to obtain quick comparative data on PP-g-MAH compatibilizer performance on the fatigue life of these composites, an experimental procedure was elaborated in order to correlate the properties determined by dynamicmechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) of composite samples, both pristine or subjected to short-term cyclic loading, with the experimentally determined fatigue life of these materials. The main conclusions of this work indicate that the mechanical damping (tan d) values, related to the fiber-polymer interfacial friction, reduce with compatibilizer content; this effect being better evidenced in the fatigued samples. The decrease in tan d values with compatibilizer content clearly indicate an increase in the composite interfacial compatibility and were found to be inversely proportional to the number of cycles to failure determined by long-term fatigue testing, thus, promoting an increase in the fatigue life of the investigated PP/PP-g-MAH/30%GF composites.

The school organization in series predominates in Brazil since 19º century and still shows its power because it´s solidified in teachers, parents and students conception. Different experiences have been introduced since 60´s decade on the attempt to break the school succession. On the 90´s decade, emerge proposals of modification in the school periods and places of which centre becomes the cycles´s formation. To describe and analyze the introduction of the school organization base don development cycles on the Araraquara´s municipal education system is necessary to retake some previous experiences and the debates that go along with the cycles and continued progression, making evident that the cycles system conflicts with the school culture strongly based on the organization in series. The new way of organization presupposes changes in the education-learning conception, the evaluation method and the proper school, showing that punctual changes isn t enough. The way how this introduction has been done in Araraquara makes evident that educational public politics depends on their real comprehension and education of their protagonists: teachers, parents and students. On the attempt of modifying the school organization present problems like a relative unsure about the school proposes and missions and the resignificance process of the teachers role can be added to de discussion. The reflection point to some paths and sures. Paths that indicates the essential participation of whole community on the previous discussion about the introduction of the new education system, constant evaluation of the process and education to create the reflection of the theory and practice. Sures that education changes has to be understand like a transformation of ideas and practice and it can t happen suddenly and in a linear way, but it´s possible to create an another school.

The aim of this research is to contribute to a rethinking of teacher education initiatives, be it in initial development, be it in continuous teaching development, focusing not only on implementation of Communication and Information Technologies and in the educational context, but on quality public education as a whole. In this sense we have sought to identify analyze conceptions of public school Mathematics teachers, who regularly use computers as a methodological resource. We also intend to: a) identify how teachers inserted technology in their practice: which technologies were applied, in what activities and guided by which objectives; b) identify which kind of continuous teaching development these teachers have to conduct such activities; c) identify conditions in which this working with technology occurs; d) identify difficulties faced by teachers and their expectations concerning implementation of IT in schools. In order to achieve such objectives questionnaires were applied with 24 Mathematics teachers in four public schools, among which two of which were selected for interviews. The research question that guided data collection is as follows: What are the conceptions expressed by Mathematics teachers concerning the use of computers in school? Data categorization and analysis were based on Teacher Formation and Mathematics Education references, particularly Communication and Information Technologies in Education, focusing on the concept of manifest conceptions as approached by Ponte (2002) and on the classification of Teacher conception types as approached by Thompson (1992), Ponte (1992) and Canavarro (1993). The results of the research show that, although teachers participate in training aimed at the use of computers as educational tool, few of them are able to use what they have learned in classroom, which in turn indicates that continuous teaching development is ineffective in this case. Moreover, they suggest that teachers use computers because they believe students need to be introduced to Information Society, although they conceive its use as a factor of motivation and facilitation, that is, a tool to do what was done before in a quicker and more modern way, which, in turn, steers away from the main objective of using Communication and Information Technologies at school.

This work searches to interpret experiences in Environmental Education in the state of the Acre, from the territorial fights since the indigenous peoples, considering the rubber men, with special care to the Chico Mendes phenomenon. Launching to look at on the state of the art of the Environmental Education in the state, this research argues the context where the state of Acre is inserted, in its historical and anthropophagical source. Looking for to understand the process of construction of the political perspective of the peoples of the forest, mainly of the rubber men of the Acre Amazonia, commanded for the look and leadership of its Chico leader Mendes, considering a dialogue of this experience with the Environmental Education in its more different nuances present in this Amazonian state. The study also searches to establish an analytical story of practical experience of grass root of the environmental education in the state, the construction of dialogues of public politics in Environmental Education. Through four articulated articles that dialogue between themselves, it analyzes the anthropophagical process of the experiences of the peoples of the forest in its daily and permanent dynamics of use and handling of the Amazonian forest, looking for understanding the contribution of the Environmental Education in this process in the context of a state popular environmental educator, understanding the social and ecological fight of the peoples of forest as the one process continuous, permanent educator and in direct contact with the Amazonian forest, laboratory of practical experience and of this simple people and a singular wisdom.

This work focuses on the problem of automatic generation of fuzzy systems through evolutionary computation, specifically using the approach of co-evolution. Coevolution is based on the idea of modular modeling of the problem subcomponents. In this work the subcomponents are represented by different species, which have a collaborative relation among them. The fuzzy system to be created has the objective of pattern classification. Basically, the evolutionary scheme is composed by four different species, which have a hierarchical collaboration both in the generation of the species and in the fitness determination of the individuals of these species. These species are organized in levels, where the contribution in the species generation happens from the lowest to highest levels and the contribution in the fitness determination happens from the highest to lowest levels. The results obtained indicate that the studied approach is very promising and, through its use, one can generate efficient classification systems, that present a performance similar to other approaches found in the literature.

The present study aims to show the Algorithms of Compression as adequate criterion for the demarcation of the ambit of the mental starting from a Philosophy of Mind reflection. The Algorithms of Compression, understood from a Dennett´s soft materialism perspective - where they acquire an character in its formal sense meaning composed of successive stages of prescriptions that look for a certain result whenever they are initiate, but they also possess its heuristic character, that is to say, they are also good as economic strategy to prescribe instances not passible to reduction in random series that are, for its time, characteristic expressions of mental vocabulary (faiths, desires, longing...).

The thematic of water was developed by the researcher in 2002, when she taught Science to 5th grade students from Elementary School, in an environmental approach. This research tried to investigate in which ways some elements from Science Teaching may contribute to students build a critical consciousness face to environmental problems. Our view concentrates on the educational process, recovering the developed experience and meeting those students again two years later, when they were on 7th grade by the time the researcher wasn t their teacher anymore. In this way, the aim was to verify if there were some references to the activities they experienced two years ago in their arguments. Regarding the methodologic aspects, we opted for a qualitative approach. To collect data we used some interviews and comprehension activities about the thematic of water that made by those students. We tried to analysed through theoreticals references, Paulo Freire s ideas and some Environmental Education principles in which way we might understand, through the students arguments, the knowledge acquisition developed according to na environmental approach and some indictions about the building of a critical point of view about the world.

The present work aims to evaluate, through filtration process and cake detachment, the behavior of two cellulose fiber filtering media with different air permeability values. The powder material used was phosphatic concentrated rock of density 2,99 g/cm3 and its average volumetric diameter of 8,34 µm. The equipment used was constituted of a circular filter, powder feeder which controlled the massic flow and humidity by a microcomputer and a system for control and acquisition of data. The filtering media used were cellulose fibers, Rad More and Rad Plus, supplied by Alhstrom Louveira. The work was accomplished by a successive sequence of filtration and cleaning during 100 filtration cycles using cellulose filtering media. The technique employed for cake removal was reverse air flow. In the experimental procedure, filtration velocity of 10 cm/s was used for maximum pressure drop of 200 mmH2O, and 5 cm/s for maximum pressure drop of 100 mmH2O. Two cleaning velocity were employed for cake removal, 18 and 13 cm/s. The results showed that the filtering media Rad Plus, when submitted to filtration velocity of 10 cm/s and cleaning velocity of 18 cm/s, obtained the best operational condition, as it presented lower values of residual pressure drop for a larger mass retained during the 100 filtration cycles. For different filtration velocity, 10 and 5 cm/s, the filtering media Rad Plus, more porous and more permeable, the amount of particle mass removed was larger than for the filtering media Rad Plus applying cleaning velocity of 18cm/s as the removal force for this cleaning velocity could remove the particles retained in the fibers. For filtration velocity of 5 cm/s, a lower cleaning velocity, 13 cm/s, was enough to remove larger amount of particles, when compared with the filtering media Rad Plus in the same experimental conditions.

Studies in the field of Special Education state that mentally challenged people present difficulties as to communication and interpersonal rapport. This fact has defined the necessity of structuring training programs on these abilities, so that these challenged people can be inserted in the community in an extensive way. Based on these concerns and on the lack of descriptive studies depicting interventions with mentally challenged adults in general and in the field of communicative abilities in particular, the present paper aimed at the following: a) elaboration and description of tools and procedures for the evaluation and promotion of communicative abilities of mentally challenged adults; b) design, implementation and description of a program to promote verbal and non-verbal communicative abilities for a group of mentally challenged adults; c) analyses of each of the program participants performance, according to indicators obtained in different moments of the intervention. Six mentally challenged adults have taken part in this study as well as professional informants and family members. The communicative performance was assessed by means of questionnaires and interviews and direct behavioral observation. The program focused on the training of verbal and non-verbal abilities through mingling techniques associated to pedagogical, cognitive behaviorist and speech- language-hearing approaches. The performances were recorded in scores and organized in protocols, which were subject of individualized analyses as compared to the group, taking under consideration the consistency of changes between the differences before and after the interventions. The results have pointed: positive changes in several trained components, reliable positive changes in some components, as well as in the group participants and family member s satisfaction with the intervention. The contribution of this paper in terms of produced knowledge has been discussed, as well as the performed stages, decisions and challenges of this research-intervention and the importance of investment in researches in this area, involving the construction, adaptation and improvement of social and communicative abilities evaluation tools for the social and communicative abilities for the mentally impaired, in particular the adult population.

From the directive and national education basis law approved in 1996 the lawful instrument was granted in order to break the school exclusion ideology. Within this context the special education should serve a brand new purpose, developing the inclusive character proposal. In order to adapt to the new paradigm, federal and state institutions organized and set the goals for the organization and orientation for the special student based on the inclusion proposition. In 2000 the Govern of the state of São Paulo restated and defined its teaching system as inclusive, purposing new attributions to the special education teacher as an active participation in the school teaching program to provide orientation on the formation and inclusion of the special needs students in the regular schools. The special education teachers specially those specialized in the mental retardation, from the state public school net are the subjects of this research that aimed to investigate the changes of the performance of the school inclusion politics of such state, as well as to set the profiles of its teachers. A questionnaire was sent through regular mail to 300 teachers who work at the Specialized Pedagogic Support Services (SAPS) in order to get the data from the resources or special classes from the mental disabled students within the Teaching Coordination for the Interior (CEI) and 61 regional head offices and by the Teaching Coordination of São Paulo Metropolitan Region (COGSP) with 17 head offices. 41 forms returned, being 39 fully completed and two without marks. The forms covered 26 counties form 22 regional head offices. We were able to show in a described way the collected data. The results indicated that in the last five years, after the approval of the resolution 95/00, some significant changes happened to the special education net and the most significant ones according to the teachers were the opening of research rooms, the extinction of special classes, the exempt of medical and psychological decisions and the necessity of the pedagogic evaluation for the students direction for the specialized service. As a consequence of the changes some teachers that acted in the Special Classes, that were not effective, were released, the effective ones were redistributed to other school units. The students of the disabled classes, were redistributed to the common classes, or to special schools or to other school units that remained the special classes, the process implementation presented different nuances, however not very significant, because the guidelines and the ordination of the actions result from the same General office of Education (GOE). The conclusion of the study is that the changes are happening, however the evidences point that they are unilateral actions, without effective and active participation of the specialized teacher staff, and that they are not bringing the necessary changes in the teachers' performance and consequently, they are not contributing nor for the teaching quality nor for the students' permanence with mental retardation in the common class or in the regular teaching. The teachers make many suggestions for the process that they could be considered.

The objective of this research is to identify and reflect on relations between musical education practices for children with special needs in basic school and formation of music teachers for the attendance to these necessities. Participants were three music teachers, identified as Paulo, Renata and Rita, teaching in schools of the Great São Paulo area, where pupils with special needs are inserted regularly. The data were collected through individual interviews, remarks in the music classes and theoretical studies of the participant professors. The data collection, from September, 2004 to September 2005, was carried through in accordance to time availability of the researcher and the participants. The interviews was planned mainly to express participant conceptions related to musical education, special education, deficiency and inclusion and remarks in the classes contributed to characterize the performance of them. In addition, the curricular greeds and the education plans for basic education, graduation and post graduation had the intention to analyze the participants academic formation in the areas of education, musical education and special education and the performance of music teachers related to musical education for people with special needs and their inclusion in the context of musical education. Beyond the discussion about musical teaching and the searching of the foundations for a new teacher´s behavior that favor the learning of this artistic language, results points out to the necessity of courses directed to the formation of professors (initial and continued) to discuss including practices and new researchs about musical education in these inclusion contexts. Facing the necessity of a deeper understanding of this task among music professionals for inclusion and analyzing proposals to make it effective, the present research can constitute and important help and subsidy .

This work was motivated by the need of a better understanding of the microrheological characteristics of polybutylene terephthalate, PBT, polymer blends, such as the matrix phase PBT and the styrene-acrylonitrile, SAN copolymer as dispersed phase. The main purpose of the microrheological studies carried out was to analyze the rheological behavior and the morphology, as well as their correlation, in the preparation of the PBT/SAN immiscible blend, with and without the use of an interfacial compatibilizer. The rheological behavior was analyzed by torque rheometry, rotational rheometry with parallelplates geometry, and capillary rheometry. The interfacial tensions were measured by the modified ellipsoidal drop retraction method, using an optical polarized light microscope coupled to a hot stage. Two complementary techniques were used in the morphological analyses: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with tetrahydrofuran (THF) extraction of the dispersed phase, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with rutene tetroxide (RuO4) deposition in the dispersed phase. The interfacial tension between the PBT polymer and the SAN copolymer was found to increase as the molar mass of the PBT increased. The use of rotational rheometry with parallel plates at low shear rates allowed the increase in viscosity to be quantified as a function of the reaction of the polymeric macromolecules in the PBT/SAN blend compatibilized or not with the interfacial compatibilizer, the MMA-GMA-EA copolymer. Based on the morphological characterizations, an analysis was made of the fibril formation mechanisms, break up and coalescence of the particles of dispersed phase and their interactions with the addition of interfacial compatibilizers. The rotational rheometry at low shear rates proved to be extremely efficient in the analysis of blend compatibilization, which is usually analyzed by torque rheometry. It was checked that, at high shear rates, the viscosity ratio influenced the formation of more finely dispersed phases.

This work intends to offer a different reading of Carl Gustav Jung writings of the ones that conceive the terms archetype and collective unconscious as explicit references to the transcendent domain, "spiritualistic" readings that would do the Analytical Psychology methodology result in a dogmatic proceeding. In order to understand the notion of "individual" that has place in the Jungian meta-psychology , it becomes important to understand Jung's way to mean and to interpret the psychopathological facts and dreams that him observed in his clinical experience. Every moment the analytical psychology threatens to relapse in an irrationalism if we restrict ourselves in the denotative consideration of the language used to represent the psychic reality. We put emphasis, in our reading, on the representative and symbolic use of the language of psychological communication that intends to express the individual being, in order to investigate the question of the dogmatism that permeates countless critical readings concerning Jung's work. After all, in which paradigm the Analytical Psychology intends to sustain itself as a science? We will show that is the material-reductionism paradigm from the sciences of the nature the responsible for guiding the comprehension of a (transcendent) origin of the collective unconscious archetypes, but these are only enunciated by Jung in order to refer to the (figurative) appearance of the dreamlike fantasies for the psychic (immanent) existence. The causal factor stops being predominant in the interpretation of the archetype concept to give up place to the adaptation purpose of the psychic manifestation of the image. The notion of normality is faced, and crosses the domains of the disease in which takes place the eighty century medicine; if this natural paradigm becomes unable to guide the analytical psychology point of view, that intends to be a science of the man, which new paradigm would be more appropriated in a reading of Jung's work that do not intends to aim in a dogmatic interpretation - what would invalidate it's scientific legitimacy? To understand the pretense connection of the Jungian work to the mystic's domain it is necessary to understand the notion that the history of the philosophical thought checked to the term "dogmatism ". At last, could the Analytical Psychology be understood as a Science, or does it approach more to the Art, that intends to turn the part (finite) the representation of the essence of the "whole" (infinite)?

The industry of Agricultural Implements and Machines has had an expressive development in the country, following the expansion of the Brazilian agro-industrial area and focusing in the exportation increase of the agricultural products as alternative to reach a better distributed invoicing throughout the year, being tried to overlap the problems of the internal seasonality. It demands from the national companies a quality improvement of the projects and manufacture of these products, adjusting them to international standards of performance and to the trend of homologation requirements of the new products. This improvement passes for a revision and adequacy of the product development process management in the sector s national companies. This work presents a research about the practices and problems of the management of the process development of the agricultural products from five national companies located in the Sao Paulo state. For the data collecting, it was used an interview script, which was applied to the person in charge of the PPD. It was observed a heterogeneous vision of the purpose of the PPD in the five national companies studied. There are some companies that see the PPD as an essential set of project activity of the product. The others companies, however, face the PPD as a market research of the launching of the new product. Often the activities of the PPD are practical and empirical: researching the physical prototype and specifying the project (using software like CAD). For this reason, the use of supporting tools for the product development contributes for a better quality of the project and for a better management of the product
Organização e processos de trabalho em uma cooperativa do MST: debate teórico no contexto da empresa capitalista e da economia solidária

Historically, one verifies the appropriation of management tools for the attainement of plusvalue. Among them, the ones related to the organization and the processes of work stand out. However, it is noted that the appropriation of these management tools is carried out not only by capitalist enterprises, but by enterprise of solidary economy (ESE) as well. This master´s degree dissertation purpose is to analyze the common and specific characteristics of the organization and the processes of work in their different models in the capitalist enterprises and ESE. So, it was used a theoretical-empirical research through bibliographic review to characterize the two variables in both social structures, and, through the case study and the participative methodology, identify the specific characteristics of a type of ESE, a cooperative of land reform, in this case, the Cooperativa de Produção Agropecuária Vitória LTDA (COPAVI). In the bibliographic review, it was found that, for the attainment of the plus-value in the capitalist economy, the organization and the processes of work are subjected to constant changes, starting from the development of the method of capitalist production, and among them, simple cooperation, manufacturing, machinery and microelectronic automation, besides the taylorist, fordist, Italian, Swedish and Japanese models, among others. In the EESs, changes also occur, but in the perspective of selfmanagement and the subordination of the technical rationality to the social rationality, through the cooperativism. In the comparative analysis performed, it was found that cooperation is a commom factor for the two types of organization. The capitalist enterprises use the concept of cooperation as simplification and parceling of work activities of each worker for the complementation of the productive process, that is, the cooperation comes through a management imposition.
