This text is going to show many ways that compose the IDH until the year of 2007 that they are going to be talked the analysis the development for the development from the countries for the Program of the Union Nation to the development from the Union Nation Organizations PNUD ONU. The first chapter is going to show the definition of IDH its particulars, methods of calculus and its structurations beyond the observation from three ways that componde the indicator in the actuality income per capita, health, and education. For helping in your understand, we are going to include the index of Gini to help us in our analysis. In the second chapter, we are going to do an analysis commented and compared of the Brazilian s IDH in terms of inner regions for that we could understand the discrepancies that there are in the same country being utile when analysis the Brazilian s IDH in general forms. In the third and forth chapter we are going to do the analysis of IDH among the nations, showing the evolution and the retreat of each country got along the years, their deficiencies in determinates sectors like social or economics, the characteristics and the reasons of the countries show us the variables of optimization of the quality of live in remains from nations that hale index medium and others in precarious situations. We are going to analyses the divergences that there we are among many region in the globe where we are going to do the calculus between the sub-regions, for examples we are going to analyses the IDH of Emirates Arabs, Africa, Subssariana, Latin America inside others. In the forth chapter we are going to show the IDH in 2007 with the brief report of the IDH the 2009 that gets their relatives facts to indicaters of 2006 the insert of Brazil in context latin and world-wide the observation of first placing, to the last, and the motives that took these countries to get these classification. In the fifth chapter we are going to show the criticism that are done in the index at the meaning of the same not portray with the total real fidelity condition of development that a nation meet and the possible inclusion of others variables that could do the IDH the index much precise. Also be boarding the difficulties of methodologies that exist in case of others variables go in to the index. At the of this text we are going to reunite the annexed of some interviews with professors, or specialist in the field of socialeconomics about the problematization of the index.

The porcelainized stoneware has been outstanding in the current market of ceramic tiles because it offers excellent technical and esthetic features. In this research traditional ceramic raw materials were selected and a standard formulation reported in the literature was adopted, aiming to replace the vitreous phase former (feldspar) from the composition by two fluxing agents at high temperature. The objective was to evaluate these materials as a technical alternative with lower cost (30-40%), since, in the porcelain, the amount of flux former is very large, and represents approximately 50% of all raw materials used. The nepheline syenite was the natural raw material selected to replace the feldspar due to the fact that it belongs to the family of feldspathoids, and has similar physicochemical characteristics, therefore, high fluxing efficiency. The second vitreous phase former was a synthetic material, named flux agent, with physical and chemical characteristics very different from those of the feldspar and even greater fluxing efficiency. The replacement of feldspar occurred in complete and in part, through combinations of the alternative fluxes. The masses were processed from mixing of powders, wet milling, drying, desagglomeration, compaction and firing. In addition to the curves of vitrification, techniques, as sedimentometry, dilatometry, flexure strength test, electron microscopy, piroplastic deformation measurements and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the material sintered at different temperatures. The most important results show that it is possible to combine nepheline and synthetic flux as alternative material other than feldspar because they promote vitrification at lower temperatures. Compositions with both fluxes showed low values of water absorption (<0.1%) and high mechanical strength (45 MPa) when compared to the standard, despite of the higher piroplastic deformation. The presence of nepheline does not change qualitatively the formation of phases and the flow generates new crystalline phases, in according to phases diagram.

To overcome the scenarios of environmental degradation in the State of Mato Grosso, requires a dialogical model between schools, communities and government to order the construction and implementation of Public Policies for Environmental Education. This thesis aimed to understand the policy in environmental education of the State Department of Education, as an unfinished process, with the possibility of reversing unwanted scenarios for social control exercise their power of coauthorship and citizenship. In order to meet this goal, we used throughout the thesis based on qualitative research methodologies, participatory research, bibliographic and documental research diagnostic evaluation, in search of hybridization between the evaluation results and processes, observing the natural phenomenon. The sustainability analysis was infused, initially for a critical educational praxis of Environmental Education in the Learning System TM. And in understanding the process used to formulate public policies in Mato Grosso, in the ethical axiom of non-neutrality of subjects, establishing dialogues with SEDUC MT, Researcher Group on Environmental Education and Training Centres of Vocational Education Basic. By launching an evaluative look on Policy Environmental Education, focusing on the educational materials, the tactics of implementation. The results are offered prognoses of the construction and implementation of the Environmental Education Policy SEDUC MT (PREA). The path ahead for construction of Public Policies for Environmental Education in the spaces must be limited by the educated social participation, since its construction process (initial proposal) to its evaluation. "Learning with the error" this is the tactic that could revive the school units of Mato Grosso Environmental Education, but greatly participatory, with the audience needed to bring schools and communities feel part of their formative processes and decision-making, it based the political processes necessary for teaching an education policy that is environmentally and in search of a more just and sustainable..

In this study, we used the capture-recapture procedure to estimate the size of a closed population. We analysed three di_erent statistics models. For each one of these models we determined - through several methods of eliminating nuisance parameters - the likelihood function and the pro_le, conditional, uniform integrated, Je_reys integrated and generalized integrated likelihood functions of the population size, except for the last model where we determined a function that is analogous to the conditional likelihood function, called integrated restricted likelihood function. In each instance we determined the respectives maximum likelihood estimates, the empirical con_dence intervals and the empirical mean squared errors of the estimates for the population size and we studied, using simulated data, the performances of the models.

The climatic resort of Santa Rita do Passa Quatro-SP, located in the north-east region of the state of Sao Paulo, has about 27,500 inhabitants, as well as other cities of the country, reserved its right proportions, currently suffers from several problems of urban and environmental degradations, which are often caused by human action, mainly by the indiscriminate appropriation of their territories. It is known that in the face of intense population growth in the period of industrialization, coupled with a lack of commitment of some municipal administrations with the urbanenvironmental zoning, the territorial planning, the production of space in cities, etc., many cities live great mistake processes of occupation and without any concern for sustainable development. Thus, in order to recover the vitality of the degraded environment and the quality of life of its inhabitants, some brazilian cities are already taking very important decisions to realize their strategic planing, master plans, etc. Therefore, the characterization of the potentiality and environmental fragility of the physical environment of the cities are key to subsidize their urbanenvironmental planning, is also an important tool to aid in monitoring the land occupation in its urban and suburban regions in a technically adequate. Thus, this study aims to characterize the potentiality and environmental fragility of the part physical environment of the city of Santa Rita do Passa Quatro, in order to provide information that can subsidize studies of urban planning, territorial planning and also other related studies the identification, mitigation of environmental problems and guidelines for the prevention of future problems in the physical occupation of the region studied.

The potentiodynamic and potentiostatic electrochemical synthesis were performed for the eletrosynthesis of nanofibers and nanoparticles of polyaniline on gold electrodes without the use of physical or chemical templates. The electrochemical system used is composed of aniline and hydrochloric acid and the formation of PANI nanostructures was by analyzed by the following parameters: scan rate, concentration of monomer; potential interval; number of cycles, temperature and pH. The films of PANI were characterized by an electrochemical technique (voltammetry cyclic), two microscopic techniques (electron microscopy scanning and atomic force microscopy) and a spectroscopic technique (UV-Vis absorption). It was conducted the study of the influence of the number of cycles in the oxidation state of the polyaniline film and the comparison between models of nucleation and growth of metals with the process of formation of polyaniline nanoparticles. The studies have demonstrated that the variation on the concentration of monomer, the electrochemical technique used in eletrosynthesis, temperature and pH are fundamental steps to determine the morphology of polyaniline. The comparison of theoretical models of nucleation and growth metals with the formation of polyaniline nanoparticles showed a good correlation with instantaneous nucleation with two-dimensional growth.

Cinemateca Brasileira, the largest film archive in Brazil, for years has stored, catalogued and conserved a large number of Brazilian films that have survived to the present day. But in order for a film to be thoroughly preserved it needs to be known by both the general public and specialized audiences. Some collections manage to be fully preserved while others remain stored without the adequate circulation: this is the case of the home movies collection. The aim of the current research is the valorization of this collection through its physical description and the investigation about its content. Throughout this process, the cataloguing procedures currently in practice at the archive and the specificities of the collection of home movies regarding its informational status will be described. From this investigation specific work methods and forms of analysis will be proposed. In a broader perspective, historical background and conceptual discussions about the formation of the amateur field, the use of cinema in the domestic realm, the production of images in the private domain and the amateur cinema columns of the magazine Cinearte will add to the cataloguing procedures of Cinemateca Brasileira.

The control of surgical site infection, especially during clean is important, especially when exposed bone in orthopedic surgery. A study was conducted exploratory study aimed to assess the impact of particulate matter, air and microbial resistance profile of Staphylococcus aureus in suspension for the intraoperative orthopedic procedures in a medium-sized hospital in São Carlos, SP. In the initial ten samples, the results indicate presence of filamentous fungi in 69% of the samples and 93.75% of the bacterial samples were identified as Gram positive and Gram negative 6.25%. In the 10 samples analyzed in the second stage, the UFC's of bacteria had an average of 97.80%, standard deviation of 51.60%, coefficient of variation of 52.75% and range between 21 and 178. We identified the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp. and Shigella spp. 25%, 75% and 25% of samples, respectively. Held an antibiotic for Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the air in the operating room, and found that the strain had high levels of resistance to most antibiotics used, with sensitivity only two of 15 antimicrobial agents tested. The presence of suspended particles was above the recommended standard for the surgery, suggesting the need for an effective control of air quality. It was observed that during surgery there was a significant increase in suspended particles in accordance with WHO standards and CONAMA. The increase in the number of the surgical team in the room probably generated an increase of suspended particles and hence an increase in microbial range. Of the surgeries performed, one can see that in 70% of the operating room door was closed and 50% with air conditioning was off. In 3 (60%) of surgeries in which the air conditioning was off, we found the incidence of a bacterial genus.

Digital television will allow the transmission of new services, with a significant increase in the amount of information available to users compared to traditional analog system. Given that growth of possible applications, recommendation systems have emerged as useful tools to help viewers cope with this overload of information, allowing identify their needs and preferences. For this reason, this work presents a solution to support the development of recommender systems, by adding a new module in the middleware Ginga entitled Recommender TV. Thus, it was implemented an abstraction layer that allows developers of applications for interactive digital television, specifically for developers of recommender systems, be concerned with the interface and navigability of their systems, leaving questions of low-level module Recommender TV manage. Issues regarding the low level processing the new module presented in this work allows the implementation of different recommender systems, quickly and efficiently. The use of the results provided by such systems will assist us to better understand the implementation of interactive digital television.

Health personal are constantly exposed to biological hazards by the nature of their work, which involves the use of sharps and contact with body fluids. Exposure involving biological materials is a serious event by the potential contamination that exposes professionals, subject to diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and AIDS. Knowing the factors related to the occurrence of these events enables the development of preventive actions. This study is an integrative review of the literature to characterize the scientific literature on the subject and identify prevention strategies recommended in studies published in the SciELO Brazil. We used the keywords "Accidents, Occupational ", "Occupational Risks ", "Occupational Exposure ", "Exposure to Biological Agents ", "Needlestick Injuries", Universal Precautions ", "Health Personnel ", "Nursing" and "Nurses' Aides ". The 54 selected articles were read in full by completing a roadmap for data collection. The data were entered into Microsoft Excel for further characterization and analysis. The Revista Latino Americana de Enfermagem published the most articles on the subject, 72% of articles were published between 2004 to 2008, 74% of studies were conducted in the Southeast, 59% of the state of Sao Paulo. The occupation was the most studied of nursing workers. Approximately 75% of the studies were descriptive according to their objectives and 61% as a quantitative approach, 7% were case-control studies, 9% of studies of action research, 15% review studies, 19% prevalence and 50% of studies survey collecting information on knowledge, perceptions, opinions and attitudes of the people, through interviews and / or self-administered questionnaires. More than a third of the studies characterize the accident, the occupations most affected, the circumstances of the accident and its evolution. Less than 20% address the risks faced by professionals in their workplace and 17% focuses on the consequences of the accident and post-exposure. Accidents are not only related to individual risk factors or protection. Accidents are also influenced by the environment where workers are inserted and the organizational structure of the institution. The articles of prevention of occupational accidents with exposure to biological material discuss the adhesion of measures Protection Standard, hepatitis B vaccination, biosecurity education courses in health and actions to minimize the occurrence of accidents. The most cited recommendations for prevention of accidents with biological material were: continuing education, adoption of standard precaution measures, worker participation in the discussion of the risks, action planning based on the evaluation of working conditions and adoption of safety devices. Only 2 articles (4%) investigate the causes of the accident after its occurrence. Studies of this kind are important and need to be encouraged, as it allows the origin of the accident and from there to propose preventive measures.

This research was carried out through fieldwork in the Piaçagüera Indigenous Land, located on the southern coast of São Paulo, between 2007 and 2009. It proposes an analysis of the Tupi Guarani relations construction with other indigenous groups, especially with Guarani Mbya, non-Indians, and also the relations between themselves. In a context of territorial conflict and the formation of a new village in which they discussed ways to rescue the culture, I realized that people can operate distances and approaches to what they consider being Guarani, Tupi and indigenous people, based on a speech that deals with the mixture. The Tupi Guarani people say that they are mixed because of the marriages that occurred between the Guarani and the Tupi as the basis of their ethnicity. They also speak about the mixture with other Indians and whit nonindigenous people - like white and black people. It thus becomes clear that they establish a kind of gradation between being "more Indian" and "less Indian" that is linked to characteristics typically considered Guarani, for example, the mobility and the territoriality. Through the relationships that the Tupi Guarani people establish among themselves and with others, it is possible to understand how the knowledge and the knowing the language, prayers, traditions and the Tupi and Guarani ethnic identities are constructed and constantly updated.

Two problems related to Partial Least Squares method are considered in this work. Heteroscedastic errors and an asymmetrical error distribution. In the _rst part of this work a methodology is developed which allows, based in PLS methods, to estimate the model parameters in the presence of non-constant error variance. This technique is compared with the usual PLS method which considers homoscedastic erros. The PLS method is an distribution free approach, that is, it does not assume any distribution for the error terms. In order to estimate the heterocedastic structure an probability distribution is attributed to the errors, similar to the idea of Bastien et al: (2005). In this work, it is proposed a class of asymmetric distributions, the asymmetric normal distribution, presented in Azzalini (1985), which includes the normal distribution as a particular case. For the heteroscedasticity detection is proposed adaptations of the White test, the Goldfeld-Quandt test and an test proposed by Xei et al: (2009), which is used for testing the homogeneity of the scale parameter and/or signi_cance of autocorrelation in skew-normal nonlinear regression model. The test methods are illustrated with two numerical examples. All the methods present in the work are illustrated with simulated and real datasets.

This study aimed to understand the meaning that the family in social vulnerability attributes to the social support and the social network in their experience with cancer. This is a qualitative study guided by Symbolic Interactionism as a theoretical framework, and Grounded Theory as a methodological reference. Data were collected through interviews with families at high social vulnerability, which have one member diagnosed with cancer referred by a Family Health Care Unit in a countryside city in São Paulo. From the continuous comparative analysis of the data emerged two dynamically interrelated phenomena: Realizing themselves vulnerable, which shows the family situation when facing the adversities imposed by the disease and Supporting each other to care, which shows the moves of the family seeking for support to care for the member of the family with cancer while maintaining family balance. Families reorganize and restructure to overcome obstacles and provide care to their beloved, often giving rise to a new family, which includes people who have responded to the demand for social support and exclude those who do not. The social context of these families influences the family system. The interaction that occurs in the subsystems and in the familiar supersystem directly affects the meanings attributed by the families and affect their actions. The relationship of these families with the Public Health System and other Public Services, and especially with the Family Health Care Unit, reveals the difficulties encountered by families to meet their needs. The development of this study offers support to family care of the patient with cancer in a situation of social vulnerability, according to their real needs.

Since middle of 20th Century, the effervescence of scientific, technological and economic development incites changes in the several fields of society, evidencing one necessity of a critical view, of social line, before science and technology (S&T). These views lead in outbreak of Science, Technology and Society Movement STS − that search one perception more critical for the role developed for S&T and the defense of S&T aren t disconnected of social questions. The current technological changes impact over all society and it s not different over scientific community. Appraise and reflect about impacts and reactions of community is one of study areas of STS field. Focalizing on STS field, accentuate the following topics Impacts of technological change and Measurement of scientific and technological activity as from indicators , this work purposes to observe the question of scientific periodical publications, mainly the electronic scientific periodical, for guise of these two questions, through the analysis of Revista de Letras, institutional periodical from São Paulo State University, that combine several elements that enable the fulfillment of purpose. We objectify with this study attend for what challenges and factors propel the change for electronic form , the impact of co-existence of periodical in its printed and electronic form, beyond provide one characterization of its scientific production for critical and literary production area on the eve of its 50 years and then demonstrate the importance of multidisciplinary and critical view of STS field in question of electronic scientific periodicals.

The purposes of the study have been to identify which is(are) the meaning(s) of living with a child who has Down syndrome and its impact in the family functioning, and also to develop a theoretical model about these families experience. Symbolic Interactionism and a The Grounded Theory was used as a theoretical and methodological referential, respectively. Also, the semi-structured interview was authorized as an instrument of investigation, in which ten families were part of the study. The data analysis was performed concurrently to the collection, according to the steps alleged by the referential. It was possible to realize that the experience is composed of two phenomena: Living through cloudy times and Mobilizing to move forward . The first one is related to the hard times the family lives through and in which there are many doubts and uncertainties on handling with a Down syndrome child; the latter is related to all the attitudes and strategies to provide a better quality of life and development to the child. Through these phenomena, the Central Criterion and the Theoretical Model were identified: Searching for children s independence and autonomy through constant stimulation , which comes to reflect the family s experience with a Down syndrome child in the population that was studied. With the purpose of helping the child overcome their own barriers, the family needs to mobilize and struggle, to adapt to their routine, to learn about the Down syndrome, to search for the necessary treatments, to choose a school and face prejudice. These are huge responsibilities and concerns, which require help, either financial or emotional, to successfully fulfill all these deeds. This mobilization for the child s development imposes restrictions and abdications from the family group for their benefit. Besides, the family lives all their life with expectations about the child s future, always looking for some control over it. Despite the difficulties found during the path, the love and the happiness that the child brings to the family is a boundless motivation. It shows the family s endless search for the child s development through stimulations to guide to a less dependent future, motivated by love. The results lead to a reflection about the importance of family nursing, in which the nurse needs to be observant. Hard times faced by the family are highlighted and go way beyond the shock of discovery, which cause concern, anxiety, doubts and sadness. Thus, nurses must search for other contact settings with these families other than the hospital one, since their needs extrapolate the moment of diagnosis.
Citogenética clássica e molecular de três espécies de curimatídeos, com ênfase no cromossomo B de Cyphocharax nagelii (Characiformes, Curimatidae)

Cyphocharax nagelii, Cyphocharax modestus, and Steindachnerina insculpta were the curimatid species analyzed in the present work. The objectives for all species were to identify sequences that could be used as chromosomal markers, to infer on the active mechanisms in their chromosomal evolution and of the family Curimatidae, and to determine indirectly the nucleotide composition of chromosomal regions. Additionally, the present work also aimed to analyze the B chromosome of C. nagelii, investigating the mitotic and meiotic behavior of this element and making inferences on its origins and evolution. The encountered diploid number was of 2n=54 with meta- and submetacentric chromosomes, corroborating the karyotypic macrostructure of the family Curimatidae. B chromosomes were detected in C. nagelii and analyses indicated that this element is potentially stable during mitosis. The presence of B chromosomes in other curimatid species suggests that this element represents an additional karyotypic differentiation mechanism. In the analyses of metaphase I cells of C. nagelii, the B chromosome behaved as a univalent, indicating possible segregation instability of this element. The C-banding technique evidenced heterochromatin blocks in the pericentromeric region of all chromosomes of the complement, as well as a few telomeric blocks, in the three studied species (B chromosomes in C. nagelii are heterochromatic). No chromosomal heteromorphisms regarding size, morphology, or C-banding pattern that could be associated with the presence of sex chromosomes were found in any of the three curimatid species. Microdissection of the B chromosome and consequent in situ hybridization with the produced probe showed that these elements share many mutual sequences, but the same does not occur with chromosomes of complement A of C. nagelii, C. modestus, or S. insculpta. The use of the base-specific CMA3/DAPI fluorochromes, silver nitrate staining, and 18S rDNA probes allowed the identification of 45S rDNA sites. These sites are present in an autossome pair in the three studied species, as well as in most curimatids. In C. nagelii and C. modestus, the 5S rDNA region is present in chromosome pairs 3 and 20; in S. insculpta only pair 3 contained the 5S rDNA gene. The presence of 5S rDNA in the third pair of the three described species points to a possible conserved location of this gene. A size difference was seen between the 5S rDNA sites, probably owing to the presence of two quantitavely different clusters of this ribosomal sequence. The B chromosomes of C. nagelii do not support 5S or 18S rDNA sequences and were not differentially marked by DAPI or CMA3. The hypothesis that karyotypic evolution in curimatids involves rearrangements of the centric fission/fusion and pericentric inversion type was suggested. Telomeric DNA sequences (TTAGGG)n were used in C. nagelii. The chromosomes of complement A as well as of complement B showed signs in the telomeric region. Furthermore, at least two autosome pairs exhibited telomeric sequences in an interstitial position, thus corroborating the hypothesis of centric fission/fusion evolution combined with pericentric inversion for the family Curimatidae.

This research seeks to verify the discursivity regime of the political discourse and, specially, to describe and analyze the discourses of presidential candidates in 2006 campaign, having focus in the theme corruption . To do so, we made a corpus with discursive sequences of HGPE, showed by free television channels, from 08/15 to 10/27 of 2006. The motivation to work with discourse analysis on television emerged from the observation that, among the diffusion supports of electoral political discourses (official party documents and appliances, reproduction of jingles and slogans in flags or sound cars, television debates, HGPE), the television transmissions had the greatest circulation in that period. The theme of corruption, because of its circulation and range, emerge continually in the discourses of candidates and their electors with an attack strategy (from the opposition) and defense (from the situation) and, with special strength and amplitude, in 2006 presidential campaign, because of episodes like mensalão and dossier . The question that directs the research is: how can a present political discourse be analyzed, considering the multiple ways of this discursive production? Supported by Jean-Jacques Courtine propositions, we have as objectives: (i) analyze how the electoral political television discourse works against the corruption , inside the propaganda of the most important candidates for president in 2006; (ii) analyze the confrontation of the candidates discourses, taking as focus the analysis of the theme corruption . The analysis points that the regularities in political discourse look to avoid the character of liars and corrupts that usually are linked to politicians in social imaginary and they work exactly as strategies to constitute an identity free of stigmas. The image, especially in movement, allied to verbs (spoken and written) constitutes itself as the double of saying: it also says, along with, constitute a discursive homology, that domesticate the look. The show, the theatricalization of the political discourse, in this support, seeks to excite the emotion, the seduction, the charm. And, in this union of elements that makes the HGPE, the image is, perhaps, the element that constitute the language more efficient, favors a falsification of appearances in the ambition of showing the man´s essence; this way it is possible to manipulate the truth, because it´s connected to the appearance, to what is seen.

Erythrinidae represents a relatively small family of Neotropical fish, presenting a great geographical distribution. It is composed only by three genera, Hoplias, Hoplerythrinus and Erythrinus. The genus Hoplias is most widespread in the South American continent. Two great groups, H. malabaricus and H. lacerdae are described for the Southeast Brazil, showing large karyotypic differences concerning chromosomes´ number and morphology. In fact, the H. malabaricus group should be treated as a "species complex", considering its great karyotypic diversity, with seven karyomorphs clearly differentiated, including distinct sex chromosome systems. On the other hand, H. lacerdae group shows a relatively conserved karyotypic macrostructure. A recent revision of this group identified six different species, belonging to different Brazilian hydrographic basins. In the present work specimens of the H. malabaricus and H. lacerdae groups were investigated. The samples of H. malabaricus were from the Upper Paraná, São Francisco, Xingu and Araguaia/Tocantins basins. Concerning the H. lacerdae group, samples of H. intermedius from São Francisco River and Upper Paraná River basins and of H. aimara from the Arinos River (Amazonian basin) were analyzed. Two karyomorphs were clearly identified in the H. malabaricus group: karyomorph A, with 2n=42 meta- and submetacentric chromosomes and without sex-related differences and karyomorph F, with 2n=40 meta- and submetacentric chromosomes, also without distinction between the sexes. In the transposition region of the Piumhi River (São Francisco River basin), the karyomorph A may represent an invading form from the Upper Paraná River basin, where it is more abundant. In the São Francisco River basin the karyomorph F is considered predominant. Chromosomal variations were detected among the populations of the karyomorph A analyzed, on the base of distinct cytogenetic markers, probably due to geographic isolation of such populations, making possible the fixation of different evolutionary events. On the other hand, H. intermedius and H. aimara presented a conserved karyotypic macrostructure, with 2n=50 meta- and submetacentric chromosomes, without a sex chromosome system. As for the specimens of H. intemedius, no cytogenetic differences were detected among the São Francisco and Upper Paraná River populations, where natural connections have made possible the dispersion of that species between such basins. However, analyses of the repetitive fraction of the genome showed relevant chromosome differences between H. intermedius and H. aimara, which corroborate with their separation in different species. It could also be inferred that, at least for this fraction of the genome, H. aimara can be considered more derivative than H. intermedius. This way, the classic and molecular cytogenetic markers used in the present work were excellent tools for the differentiation of Hoplias species, as well as for the identification of the present genetic variation in the H. malabaricus and H. lacerdae groups, making possible a better explanation on their karyotypic evolution.

Functional classes can be established thorough simple discrimination and repeated reversals training. However, successive reversals necessarily involve experience with the occurrence of errors, which may interfere with class formation. A previous study using this procedure indeed generated a pattern of errors that seemed to be related to the position of the visual stimuli in the experimental display and to the contingency reversals. The purpose of this study was to control for these variables in procedures designed to foster the formation of functional classes with preschool children. Experiment 1 was a systematic replication of the previous study, but used a go/no-go procedure, instead of simultaneous discrimination. In a go/no-go procedure, both the S+ and the S- stimuli are always presented in the same location, one at a time, thus eliminating the spatial location of stimuli as a potentially controlling variable. Five children first learned to discriminate between stimulus pairs (three and four pairs), and then, were exposed to repeated reversals with all stimulus pairs in each trials block. Three children showed rapid reversals, with a few errors, mostly in the initial trials of each transition; two other children developed stable error pattern. In probes for class formation, the performances of two children suggested inclusion of all stimuli in classes according to their functions (S+ or S-). The probe results for the two children who presented more errors were inconsistent with class formation. Thus, the fact that errors are unavoidably inherent to the reversal procedure remained as a possible source of interference with class formation. Experiment 2 removed contingency reversals: after learning simple and conditional interrelated discriminations, children were exposed to transfer of function tests. The S + and S- of one of three pairs of stimuli in simple discriminations were presented as samples in a matching-to-sample task with a novel stimulus pair as comparison stimuli. Six participants learned simple and conditional discriminations with fewer errors. Probe trials were inserted among trials of a baseline of simple and conditional discriminations. All children consistently responded to the novel stimulus correlated with the sample that had a previous S+ function in a simple discrimination. In conditional discriminations probes, one participant showed immediate emergence and two others showed delayed emergence of new relations. Thus, the variability in individual performances could not be attributed to errors during the learning phases. In summary, both studies showed that children aged 3 years 11 months to 4 years 11 months learned several discriminations at the same time; and some of them showed formation of functional and equivalence classes. The identification of sufficient conditions for predictable class formation by all participants remains open to further investigation, since class formation and learning set are important components of the development of relational and symbolic repertoires in children at this age.

People comment about TV programs while watching. The technology found at Digital TV environment allow capturing and storing those comments. The combination between comments and the original program can result in a new multimedia document with personalized content. This is an ubiquitous authoring (editing) approach. This work explore the capture and access concepts and propose an architecture to allow the ubiquitous authoring of multimedia documents by end-user while a base-document is presented. The result of this activity is a new multimedia document which can replace the original document on-the-fly, changing the user experience. The main modules of the architecture are: client editing manger, code generator, private base manager, state machine manager, enhanced input manager, framebuffer recorder, elementary stream recorder, formatter (presentation engine) and media players. The proposed architecture was integrated to the Brazilian Digital TV Middleware (Ginga). The NCL language features like live editing, support to multi devices and documents seems interesting to apply the proposed model. Ginga supports NCL language and has open specifications and a reference implementation that can be reused. The reference implementation was expanded by adding new components and reusing others.
