It is well known that the previous experience to the elevated plus-maze (EPM) increases the avoidance of rodents to the open arms and impairs the anxiolytic-like effect of benzodiazepines in a subsequent exposure to the EPM, a phenomenon known as "one trial tolerance" (OTT). This study investigated the effects of intra-periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) infusions of midazolam (MDZ) in EPM-naïve and EPM-experienced mice. The antiaversive effects of MDZ were also evaluated after prior injection of flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, into to same midbrain site. Test videotapes were scored for conventional measures of anxiety (% open arm entries and % open arm time) and locomotor activity (frequency of closed arm entries), as well as a range of ethological measures related to risk assessment (e.g. stretch attend postures; head dips, etc). In EPMnaïve mice, intra-PAG infusions of MDZ increased % open arm entries (2.26 nmol) and % open arm time (2.26 and 30 nmol). These effects were observed in the absence of significant changes in locomotor activity, indicating a selective anxiolytic-like effect of MDZ. The antiaversive effects of MDZ were completely blocked by prior injection of flumazenil (16 nmol) into the same midbrain site, and did not alter any behavioral measures per se. In EPMexperienced mice, intra-PAG infusion of MDZ did not modify any behavioral measures. Taken together, present results demonstrates that GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex located within the PAG plays a role on anxiety modulation in EPM-naïve mice as well as indicates its involvement in the OTT phenomenon.

This study presented cytogenetic analysis of small fishes species collected in the headwaters of Jaguariaíva, Ribeira and, Tibagi rivers. Some of these species have had a comparative cytogenetic population analysis among different basins, while in the others were observed inherent specific problems only in one population. In this work we boarded cytogenetic, cytotoxonomy, biogeographic and evolutive biology aspects of these populations: Corydoras paleatus, Corydoras ehrhardti, Apareiodon sp., Geophagus brasiliensis, Cichlasoma facetum, Astyanax scabripinnis species complex, Astyanax janeiroensis, and Characidium sp. cf. C. gomesi. Here we discussed and presented (a) the sympatric occurrence of C. paleatus and C. ehrhardti from Dourada lagoon, Tibagi basin; (b) a ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system in an undescribed species of the genus Apareiodon in the Verde river, Tibagi basin (c) the karyotypic conservadorism visualized in species and populations of Perciformes, G. brasiliensis and C. facetum, in the Jaguariaíva, Ribeira and Tibagi basins, showing the dispersion of fish species hypotheses among these basins; (d) a comparative cytogenetic analysis of A. scabripinnis species complex, among Jaguariaíva, Ribeira, and Tibagi basins, all of them shared karyotypes with 2n=50 chromosomes but minors differences among them were observed, and we also showed a sympatric cytotype with 2n=48 chromosomes only in the Jaguariaíva basin; (e) the composition, location and nature of heterochromatic sites present in the A. janeiroensis karyotype of Ribeira basin and; (f) a possible sinapomorphic condition in the Characidium species with heteromorphic sex chromosome system. We also discussed the possible faunes interchange in the headwaters regions of Ribeira de Iguape and Tibagi rivers in the Ponta Grossa arc region, beside to the supposed endemic ictiofaune of Jaguariaíva basin. Thus, this study associated cytogenetic data, biogeographic aspects, and evolutive biology of fishes species located in the headwaters of three Paraná State rivers.

Some social skills are crucial to contribute to friendship formation, social support and work satisfaction; moreover, the social skilled behaviors have been identified as a pre requisite for workers with disabilities to have a good performance and to maintain their jobs in the competitive world. The main objective of the present research was to elaborate, to apply and to analyze the effects of a Social Skills Program for Work (PHST) with workers with physical and mental deficiency in natural work situations. The selection of the participants took place after a initial study about the instrument construction on social abilities. The selected workers to participate in this study were one female and two males, with ages ranging from 21 to 36 years old. In order to characterize the selected participants it was used a questionnaire about professional performance and a structured interview. In order to achieve the study objective, a multiple probe design was employed baseline, intervention and probes), being the PHST the independent variable and the quality of performance on social skills was the dependent variable evaluated by the instrument: PRQDHS: Protocol to register the level of performance quality on social skills throughout the experimental design. The results indicated a gradual increase in the performance of social skills, such as: to question if there were things to do; to offer and ask for help; to talk about personal needs. Those aspects were worked with participants and their job colleagues. Since this area is nationally still under investigation, other studies are suggested as well as a training of the job colleagues in the promotion of social repertoires of workers with deficiency

Ferroelectric materials have a vast application in modern industry as data storage devices. Some of this materials, as the ferroelectric oxides class ABO3, have phase transitions with the alteration of of the lattice modifiers concentration ("A"). The aim of this work was to study the tetragonal to cubic phase transition in (Pb,Ca)TiO3 ferroelectric solid solution with a experimental and theoretical view point. The powders and thin films were achieved by the polymeric precursor method and characterized by X ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, capacitance vs voltage and capacitance vs frequency electrical measurements on thin films. The theoretical results were obtained by periodic quantum-mechanical calculations of (Pb,Ca)TiO3 structure in discrete compositions, applying the density functional theory (DFT) for the calculations in CRYSTAL98r code. The comparison of theoretical and experimental results pointed that the solid solution starts from a ferroelectric tetragonal structure to a paraelectric cubic structure with the increase of calcium relative content and, albeit cubic in calcium concentrations above 40%, the perovskite structure conserve a local disorder of titanium atom in the perpendicular direction relative to the unit cell z axis. This local disorder was confirmed by the appearing of characteristics vibrational modes in Raman spectrum of the oxide powders of the higher symmetry. The theoretical results suggest that Ti-O bonds in the oxides posses a great influence in the unit cell electronic densities distribution. The X-ray diffraction profiles of (Pb,Ca)TiO3 reveal that the relative intensities of (hkl) plans of tetragonal structure obeys a first order exponential decay function with the increase of calcium concentration on the PbTiO3 structure. The ferroelectric experiments in thin films show a decrease of relative dielectric permittivity with calcium incorporation due the structural modifications imposed by alkaline cation increase. The thin films displayed formation of space charges, perceived in the degradation of capacitance vs voltage profile in low application frequencies of the reversal electric field.

The application of pattern recognition techniques such as principal component analysis and cluster analysis was evaluated for classification of foods according to their production mode (industrial or homemade and organically or conventionally produced), refine mode or geographical source. The main variables were the mineral contents of samples of coffee (roasted and green), vegetables, legumes, sugar, milk, sugar-cane spirit, beans, and rice. The concentrations of metals were determined by ICP OES or by GF AAS after microwave-assisted digestion or dilution. Other variables, such as nitrate and crude protein contents, were determined in vegetables and legumes samples. Nuclear magnetic resonance of 1H was applied to green coffee and beans to attempt to correlate chemical classes with production mode. Separations were obtained for differentiation between organic and conventional green coffees, and between instant soluble and roasted coffees. Attempts to correlate metals contents with geographical sources for coffee and sugar samples, and metals contents and production mode for vegetables, legumes, milks, sugar cane spirits, and rices were not successful. However, differentiation was observed for lettuces and cachaças based on geographical source, and for sugar samples based on the refine mode. Additionally, differentiation was also observed for lettuce samples based on the production mode, and nitrate was the main variable for differentiation. It was observed a trend towards the classification of beans according to the production mode based on NMR data set, however it is necessary to identify the chemical compounds that led to differentiation. According to these results, pattern recognition analyses were able to differentiate some important features in different samples based on their metals contents. Additionally, taking into account metals contents there was no appreciable difference between organically and conventionally produced foods.

The interface implementation in e-commerce applications must consider two aspects: the privacy necessities of the user and the marketing utilization by the personalization application in services provided by sites in the Web. In this context, there are several mechanisms developed as to accomplish the data gathering as to bring to the user certain privacy level. Sites use since formularies in Web pages until techniques as clickstream, cookies and data mining to obtain information, to analyze them and to accomplish personalization. Current mechanisms for privacy protection are limited in their ability to provide privacy guarantees to data gathered on the Web, and some of them don t allow the data gathering by Web sites. The MASKS system manages the anonymity of its users and allows the implicit collecting of data. It neither provides security in the explicit gathering and nor allows the creation of browsing sessions via grouping of cookies into groups of different interests. Project 3P introduces a mechanism to keep users aware of privacy policies while they navigate Web sites. It adds low reliance to the implicit gathering. Here, we introduce a new system that combines an extension of MASKS system, an extension of P3P and an architecture of privacy certification. This combined system gathers the best qualities of each mechanism, and removes their limitations. The extended MASKS system includes sessions in the masking proxy to enable the creation of browsing sessions. The extended P3P adds information about the user benefits in disclosing his/her data to Web services. The privacy certificates guarantees the accomplishment of the policies stated by sites. Tests with users were carried out in order to compare and to evaluate the advantages of using this newly combined system. The results showed that the combined system provides users navigation with higher reliability. Thus, the implementation of this system proves useful for providing privacy during Web browsing, without impeding data gathering.

This paper describes a study on the evolution of contracts used in transactions between orange producers and the processing industry. Its goal is to analyze changes in contracts signed from 1978 to 2004, and to establish the influence of the institutional environment. Three distinct types of contract were identified in the citric network, all of them related to the orange market: fixed price contracts, standard contracts and post-standard contract contracts. Many changes occurred in this period, the most important of which were associated with the tendency of moving from standard contracts to post-standard-contract contracts. In this research, an analysis was made of specific variables in contractual clauses, and how these parameters depended on the company assets, including building infra-structures, dedicated assets and human resources. In this context, the paper indicates the main changes in the variables and in its causes, according to the institutional and/or strategic environment of the industries. Among those changes, it is possible to emphasize the harvest responsibility and fruit transportation, quality standards required by the processing industry, extended contractual relationships (two harvests or more), price and payment policy.

This work is focused on analising the similarities and differences of the perceptions of sex workers and public health system workers about the educative processes that is within sex work related to the sex workers health. We aim to examinate, in the point of view of both social groups, how the sex worker educates herself and others of her own class exchanging informations in the work group, with the client and with health worker seeking their perceptions about the processes which the sex worker teaches and/or learns health related knowledges, values or attitudes. We will also aim the relationship between health and sex work. This research is based on common sense definition according to Paulo Freire. It has been done with the support of the research methodology related with the participation of sex workers in interviews. Interviews are also done with health workers. We aim to contribute to destroy the stereotypes that keeps the prejudiced image of sex workers and also to help on contructing health politics that take this social group in a citizenship perpective.

Disintegrins are snake venom protein, of low molecular weight, rich in cysteines and RGDcontaining peptides that bind specifically to integrins αIIbβ3, α5β1, and αvβ3 expressed on platelets, endothelial and tumor cells. The biological effects of these peptides are related with biological process of cellular adhesion where receptors called integrins are presents. This dissertation describes the optimization of purification and additional characterization of a recombinant RGD-disintegrin of Bothrops alternatus, DisBa-01.. The DisBa-01 is a recombinant RGD-disintegrin, which interacts with αIIbβ3 integrin, inhibiting platelet aggregation and proliferation of endothelial and some tumor cells. In this work, a new protocol of purification was proposed for most efficient purification of the DisBa-01. The recombinant disintegrin, DisBa-01, was expressed in an optimizedbacterial system (Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) pET28a+DisBa-01) and purified by affinity chromatography. In this new protocol, the product of the purification in nickel column is submitted ion exchange chromatography. The use of the ion exchange chromatography as second step for purification increased the purity degree and the protein yield. The purified protein had its N-Terminal portion sequenced in 20 amino acids residues and its molecular mass determined by mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry assay confirmed the mass of the DisBa-01 as 11.658 Da. The RGD-disintegrin pure had the tag of polihistidinas removed with thrombin. The cleavage of the tag of histidinas with thrombin was efficient. Polyclonal antibodies against DisBa-01 have also been produced in mice. The reactivity of these antibodies was observed through imunoblotting. These results provided one better form of obtain the pure protein as well as significant additional information for a better characterization of recombinant RGDdisintegrin, DisBa-01, which could be useful for the study of RGD-disintegrin, recombinant or native, and integrin.

The actual development model based on the conversion of natural habitats into agricultural landscapes has been considered the major environmental impact resulting from anthropogenic activities and constitutes a constant menace to the biodiversity and it could be related to the perception of the society about the environmental problem and the regional producing activities. In this sense, the investigation of the environmental perception constitutes an indispensable tool for research projects that approach the relationships human-environmental and environmental management. The main objective of this work was environmental perception investigation of the fundamental educational of three surrounding places (Luiz Antônio, Rincão, Santa Rita do Passa Quatro and São Simão, SP) to the Ecological Station of Jataí (EEJ), Luiz Antônio, SP The results of the present study allowed to observe that the most of the educational ones conceives the environment as pure nature, restricted to the biophysical components, in that the human being is just an observer and the perception of the concept of Environmental Education presents a small vision in that the educational process limits to the transmission of specific and natural knowledge, just centered in the preservation and conservation of the nature.. The environmental perception of the educational ones revealed a content of lived experiences in relation to the environmental impacts associated to the patterns of the landscape local, conservation as meaning attribution for EEJ and environmental education jointly as proposed of use for EEJ and, the natural characteristics as main determinant of the preferences and quality landscapes. The results of that investigation facilitated the rising of the knowledge of the values area in the technical and human context, essential to determine the specific objectives of a Program of Education Environmental followed to a conservation unit.

Considering the importance and necessity of developing an Environmental Education to understand the totality of the aspects that permeate the relationship between human being and nature, aiming to establish harmonical equilibrium, the present study seeks to identify the representations and experiences from a rural and scholar community about environment. This study has been developed in Pouso Alto district, Minas Gerais State(Brasil) with the participation of a rural community and about 55% of the teachers from the two local public schools in the urban area of this municipality that teach said rural students.The methodological procedure has been based in a qualitative approach, using for data raising, questionnairies applied to the teacher s group and interviews to the community. The analysis result allowed to verify that the anthropocentrical representations are more frequent among the teachers group, while naturalistic representations predominate in the students group and those that express a state of mind (feeling) are more present in the parents group. It has been verified that traditional representations of the Environmental Education, emphasizing the utilitarian perspective or as a way to the conscientization, have strong connections with the teachers environmental representations and being so, have influence on their educative practices. The interdisciplinary practices, on their turn, are not quite understood as an integrating and a team-work of the different subjects. However, it s possible to realize the teachers intention when approaching the theme in the various knowledge fields, despite students frequently points out that environmental matters are commonly discussed during Sciences or Biology classes. The environmental problems identified by both groups and the environmental changes reported by the community, frequently refer to the water diminishing and polution, the deforestation and the vegetation burning-over, very common in the urban-rural context. It has been concluded that both teachers and parents exert influence on values and ideas that permeate student s representations, indicating the necessity that education be thought under a critical perspective so as to make possible to the various groups a deeper comprehension and more effective action, essential to the environmental quality improvement.

The primary function of vision is related to achievements in infant development. The visual behavior is known to be acquired once visual stimuli are processed by retinal cells and then transmitted to the cerebral cortex by neurovisual pathways. This neuromaturational process progresses as visual stimuli are received by the neurons and synapses are moved from one nerve cell to another, thus promoting a normal visual development. The prematurity of the infant has been described to be an important indicator of risk for morbidity during the visuomotor development. Infants likely to have visuomotor impairment during this period should thus be provided with special follow-up. In this regard, this longitudinal study aims to assess the visuomotor behavior in infants at risk for disorders during the first three months of life. The infants were recruited from the Program for Detecting Audiological Disorders in Newborns (DAANE), in the Center of Studies and Research on Rehabilitation Prof. Dr. Gabriel Porto at the School of Medical Sciences of the University Estadual of Campinas (CEPRE/FCM/UNICAMP). The participants were evenly divided into two groups of 21 infants. The experimental group was composed of preterm infants with gestational age under 37 full weeks, and a correected age of 1 to 3 months. The control group consisted of fullterm infants with gestational age ranging from 37 full weeks to 41 weeks and 6 days, and a chronological age of 1 to 3 months. Each infant was assessed three times at regular intervals through the Method for the Assessment of Infant Visual Behavior. The data was stored in a file form for the data bank of the program Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Personal Computer (Versão 14). The Cochran s Q-test was applied to compare the three months (assessment) in each group, and the Yates test was used to compare the two groups in each month. The results indicated that although linearity and sequence in visuomotor achievements were similar between the two groups, the rhythm and pattern of visuomotor development were different between them. In the first two months of life, fullterm infants were shown to acquire the great majority of the oculomotor and apendicular functions in a more rapid and frequent way. These results point to the importance of correcting gestational age when assessing the visuomotor behavior of infants at risk. This study provides a material for informational and instrumental support for parents regarding the normal visual development of infants from birth to the sixth month of life. Furthermore, this study contributes towards a further understanding of the visuomotor development of preterm infants, and promotes an opportune detection of possible signs indicative of visuomotor impairment so that the infant can receive a timely diagnosis.

This study verified the representation of environment and environmental damages by the students from three different elementary schools in Batatais/SP. The research was taken through a questionary, and the result showed that most part of the students did not include the human being as an element of the environment. In a generic way, the most cited environmental damage, as well as the most perceived, according to the place, was the one relating to deforestation and forest fire activities.The great number of students realize the effect of this occurrence in their health and in the air, and the main actions suggested by them to the population are the ones related to right garbage destination and trees plantation. The book, the teacher and the television appear as the principal environmental sources and the people are pointed out as the most responsible ones for these damages; at the same time they lay the responsability on the government for the resolution of this problem. The implantation of Agenda 21 in a public school in basic education in Batatais/SP was evaluated. For this purpose, a socio-environmental diagnosis of a school was elaborated. The development of this Agenda 21 was conducted according to partnership principles, dialogue and consesus, suggested by this document, stimulating the capacity of observing, thinking and acting of the students and teachers, arousing self critical judgement, contributing to active citzenship practice, acting on the environment conservation.

The present study aims, as it main goal, to anlyze the contribuitions of the utilization of computer to the literacy and postliteracy of teens and adults and for the superation of self-protection. Yet abording the new tendencies imposed by the Information Society or Informacional Capitalist Society. From documents, theoretical references, observations and discussions with the students in alphabetical and post alphabetical situation and using the computer as one more tool in this process of teaching-learning, it was found that such tool has many benefits for lecture and writen acquisition for the process of escolarization of teens and adults, as well as it makes possible an insertion, yet as initial in the Information Society, and qualification for jobs, that in the actual context demands to deel with much more with those new information and comunication tecnologies. Thus, as they notice historical subjects and capable of transformation, alphabetized, social and economical inserted, the students surpass the social speech built by them, of self-protection. Looking foward to contribute with the teaching of teens and adults in the acquisition of lecture and writing for a critical concept and world transform, this study alerts for the using of the computer in the process of alfabetization and post-alfabetization of teens and adults is an instrument with big contributions, wich points the necessity of elaboration and implementation of public politics in this way of inclusion and superation of social inaquilities and educatives.

Although public politics determine priorities in the evaluation of the development and in the accomplishment of the human well-being, this work considers the possibility in evaluating the degree of satisfaction of the population, based on the priorities and indicators from the population perspective. The subject assumes extreme outlines when related to the correct use of the public resources and of the failure of municipal programs destined to the residents mainly inserted in the urban outlying space. Evaluation of the degree of satisfaction of the population comes as a strategy to evaluate the impacts produced by the investments - publics or private - in projects of social development. In this study the population of a recent outlying neighborhood (Social Division into lots Antenor Garcia), of the city of São Carlos, SP, with approximately five thousand inhabitants, was considered. With base in the answers for a single open and synthetic question: What does you like and unlike in the neighborhood in what you live? ", a questionnaire with seventy six subjects contained in six variables: Health; Social; Education and Recreation; Safety; Habitation and Environment; and Transports, was elaborated. As for the form of the scale of the questionnaire it was adopted of the type LIKERT, with referencial of OSGOOD, with answers induced for Totally Disagree (DT); "Disagree Partially" (DP); "Without Opinion" (SO); "Agree Partially" (CP) or Totally Agree (CT). The consistence measures among the correlations were made with base in the coefficient Alpha of CRONBACH, that resulted in: medium to high correlation (>0.66) for internal analysis to the variables; and medium correlation (0.46), for inter-variable analysis - function of the correlated aspects (e.g. Safety versus Health). The variable Transports were the one that presented smaller degree of satisfaction - probably due to distance of the neighborhood downtown of São Carlos. While the item public illumination which belongs to the variable Habitation and Environment was the one with best degree of satisfaction - probably due to the appeal of some of the aspects of safety manifested by the habitants of this suburb. One expects that this methodology comes to contribute to deal with the conflict between the interests of the population and the urban planning, in way to understand and to assist the real needs of those populations, in the application of the public resources.

The aim of this thesis is to understand Blaise Pascal's philosophical conception of science and morality on the basis of a more fundamental notion the notion of perspectivism. By not basing knowledge on ultimate and absolute terms, the French philosopher pointed the way to a new kind of knowledge, no longer guided by metaphysics, but by a hypotheticaldeductive ideal. This new kind of knowledge was to have provisional principles as points of departure, their rôle being that of epistemological perspectives in the sphere of science and practice.

This dissertation is a result of the verification of an expressive numbers of academic references relating Freud s work with a possible direct Schopenhauer s work influence. By going through the relationship existent between the Dantzig philosopher and the Viennese psychiatrist, this work tried to explain how an approaching can be done between both of them: it consisted of pointing out many approaching mistakes contained in the comment literature indicating, at the same time, a dialog that can be established. The issue morals ended emerging as a central theme resultant of the relationship study between Freud s and Schopenhauer s work where a possible dialog between them was established. The dissertation concerns, first of all, about identifying the historical and theoretical relationship between Freud s psychiatry and the philosophy of the will. After that, it was identified how each one of the authors elaborate, according to their code of speech, the base of the morality phenomenon. At last, the work indicates how the respective bases find some connection. The result, besides the contribution for each theory to understand the morals phenomenon, was the identification of crossing points many times responsible for the interpretative mistakes found in the comment literature.

Extractive Reserves are an important form of associating the conservation of the natural environment to the maintenance of the related artisanal culture. Besides, local knowledge and practice on the ecological systems are decisive factors for the conservation of both biological and cultural diversity. Here we studied artisanal fishermen from Ponta do Corumbau community, in Bahia/Brazil which is part of the Corumbau Marine Extractive Reserve , created in 2000, to contribute with the execution/implementation of the Reserve Management Plan. The data were obtained through socioeconomic questionnaires applied to 19 fishermen families in 2004 by the team of the Laboratory of Human Ecology and Ethnoecology (LEHE), of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and in two other field surveys (on February 2005 and April 2006when we carried out free and semi-structured interviews, photographic documentation and direct observation, field diary, participation of occasional meetings and informal talks. In Chapter 1, we characterize the artisanal fishermen and the community, the fishing activity and the elaboration of a genealogical tree showing the kinship relation among individuals. The artisanal fishermen are on average 37 years old; 91,4% are male and 8,6% female; 8,6% use sailing canoe, 74,3% motorized boat and 17,1% don't possess any boat; the residences are made of masonry. The main fishing techniques used are the fishing line, shrimp dragnet (called balão ) and the cassoeiro (a kind of gillnet), where the fishing line is the most common technique used. They sell the fresh fish to a cold storage and to two smokers located in the community. In Chapter 2, we approached some aspects of the fishing culture through a visual ethnography, examples include the types of existent boats, the shrimp processing and commercialization, the small fish processing, which comes from the shrimp drag-net, and the fishing line. In Chapter 3, we tried to understand the local practices of the fishermen community. That indicate their adaptation capacity to the present changes in the social-ecological fishing system. The results were interpreted through theories on resilence, adaptative cycles, local knowledge and common property. The obtained information allowed to identify three phases in the dynamics of the socialecological system studied: explotation, subdivided in a first exploratory phase (phase I), represented by canoe fishing before 1990; a phase when local fishermen notice larger disturbance in the fishing system, represented by shrimp capture using drag-nets (balão fishing), intensified between 1990-2000; a reorganization phase represented by the creation of Extractive Reserve, which occurred between 2000 and 2002, and the current exploratory phase (phase II) represented by the application of the Extractive Reserve Management Plan. Those different phases are characterized by elements that strengthen or weaken the resilience of the studied system, and the better knowledge of their dynamics can be useful for the establishment of the shared resources management.
