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.

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.

In order to fulfill modern market requirements based on increased search for SiC Si3N4 products with high performance and good cost/benefit ratio, there is a natural need for additives able to sinter as well as decrease the inherent oxidation tendency of this products. Refractories based on SiC Si3N4 present several important thermal and mechanical properties at high temperatures which lead them to be used as sagars and overall furnace furniture. However carbides and nitrides including SiC Si3N4 are instable at high temperatures in air. The formation of a surface silica layer and other intergranulary distributed silicates, may function as oxidation protection. However, at the same time at high temperatures the thermal and mechanical properties can be badly affected. Based on these assumptions in this work it is presented a study involving the effect of boron carbide as a sintering and antioxidant protector on SiC Si3N4 used mainly kiln furniture. The results indicate that the use of boron carbide was very effective on fulfilling both requirements that is as sintering additive and anti oxidant.

This research investigated three teachers learning in their beginning of career at the first years of elementary school and an expert teacher the mastermind who have taken part of the Mastermind Program (MP) at UFSCar Teacher´s website. The initial focus were the Experiences of Teaching and Learning towards the literacy process, formative and investigative activity which has required the planning, implementation and evaluation of educative proposals to be made in common sense between a beginner and the mastermind from the specific difficulties indicated by the learner. The research was established through a study of case and it was based on a qualitative approach. The data sources were MP initial and final questionnaires, the productions developed by the beginners about literacy process along the MP, the interactions between the mastermind and the learner (considered online narratives) and the messages attachments. It was also established an actual interview with the mastermind and an online interview procedures sent to the beginner teachers. The theoretical references had as basis the teachers´ learning and their professional development, the knowledge basis for teaching, the online formation and the characteristics of the educators´ career phase. The conclusions of this research indicate the importance of the Teaching and Learning Experiences for the learning process of the beginners and also the urgency to promote the following of newcomers having as a start point the dilemmas and the difficulties found by them in this moment of their careers.

The Brazilian freshwater ichithyofauna corresponds nearly 55% of species at Neotropical zone, including about 2.500 species grouped in 39 families and belonging to nine orders. Auchenipteridae comprises 20 genera and 90 species. Parauchenipterus presents a widely distribution, occurring across South América, appearing at Paraná- Paraguai, Amazônia, Orenoco Guianas and São Francisco basin, and Brazil´s East. Parauchenipterus galeatus occurs in different Brazilian basins, as Amazon, Prata and São Francisco. The present study describes through basic and molecular cytogenetic, and the sequence of mitochondrial DNA control region, three populations of Parauchenipterus galeatus from Paraná and São Francisco basin, and a probable natural (Wetland of Cururu) and artificial (Piumhi river transposition) connections between this two basins. The diploid number was equal to 58 chromosomes for the three populations; however, variations at the karyotype formula where detected (São Francisco, 22m+16sm+12st+8a; Piumhi, 20m+16sm+14st+8a; Paraná, 24m+18sm+8st+8a). At São Francisco population supernumerary chromosomes where detected. These Bchromosomes are small, metacentric, totally heterochromatics and have numeric variation intra and interindividual. The heterochromatin is located in terminal position from almost all chromosomes, and some metacentric, submetacentric, and subtelocentric chromosomes presents bitelomeric marks, and small pericentromeric blocks in some acrocentric chromosomes, occurring at the three populations. Ag-NORs presented simple at the short arm in an acrocentric pair from all populations, changing only the pair containing this site. In situ hybridization with rDNA 18S probes confirm the chromosome pair evidenced by Ag-NOR in all three populations. The rDNA 5S sites are interstitials, located in two submetacentric chromosome pairs, occurring at short/long arms in all three populations, changing only the pair containing this site. A 847 base pair fragment was amplified through D-loop sequence region from mitochondrial DNA in the three populations, presenting 65 polymorphic sites. The chromosome markers (classic and molecular) and mitochondrial DNA control region analysis shown that Piumhi river population probably already exists at this basin before the transposition. This proposing is based at the chromosome differences between those populations from different basins and mitochondrial DNA sequences, besides the detection of exclusive haplotypes of D-loop from each populations. The control sequences of DNA mitochondrial indicates a strong populational structuring, due to the fixation of molecular table of contents calculated and the fact that each population presents exclusive haplotypes, wich suggests the absence of genic flood among them. However, the chromosome differences show a bigger similarity between São Francisco and Piumhi than Paraná river population. The genetic distance detected among this population trhough the mitochondrial DNA sequences reinforces this nearness between São Francisco and Piumhi. This indicates that possibly this population diverge more recently when compared to Paraná river. The population located on the transposition region presented just one haplotype detected, which indicates the absence of genetic diversity. The present study suggests that, this low diversity is current of a possible population bottle neck with posterior effective size reducing of a population that probably habitats an old wetland (of Cururu) presents at this tansposition region. At the present study, the classic and molecular chromosome markers, allied to the natural basin formation historic context, ecological species aspects, geographic isolation between the basins and into the same basin were used to discuss the biogeographical possible relationship among the Parauchenipterus galeatus populations from different locations.

The objective of this thesis was the formative dimension of the youth in the contemporary world. We noticed that we could reflect upon this dimension through the following inquisition: What makes the youth be uninterested by the ―school seat‖, and trade them for ―Lan Houses seats‖. This problem leads us to think about some aspects of the current culture we emphasize here the overuse of war videogames which seem to be promoting identity and subjective constitution of the youth, instigating them to compulsive and addictive behavior. Thus, the present study aims at the subjectivity of the youth through videogames, especially the war ones, which seem to contribute to a formative harm in the subjects. In order to develop this argument, we need to reflect upon their status quo, the singularities, socialization, and consequently, the construction of their identity in the contemporary world. Our hypothesis, then, suggests that current teenagers are attached to undifferentiated constitution of the social fabric, heteronomously, which results in a rupture to the tendency to extinguish the frontiers between the public and the private, the childhood and the adulthood, the virtual and the real, the formative function of education and its appropriation by the industry. This analysis is also based on the idea that the traditional educational grounds family and school now share this responsibility with other institutions as a means to education. When observing, then, a new structure in the socialization field, we search for a relational perspective of analysis between these grounds, in order to understand the specificity of the identity building processes of the subjects in the current world. Aiming at measuring the current forms of the constitution of this subjectivity, we also resorted to psychoanalyses principles. The loss of authority in the family and by the teacher, mentioned a long time ago by Hannah Arendt, who referred to the allurement of the socialization in modern mass societies, resulting in the true fraud of the public life, and consequently, the public role of the school. One could infer that the decline of authority resides in the psychic field, in the form of a type of pathologization of the idealization (that is, there is no one to be admired), which is affecting the processes of secondary identification. Moreover, it may be contributing in teenage hood seriously shaking its narcissist basis (reinforcing these vices and addictive behaviors). Taking into account these perspective in the process of the subjectivities studied, a tendency to a reconfiguration of the psychic instances may be taking place as a consequence of the changes triggered by the late capitalism and by the changes occurred in paternal, family and school authorities, whose determinants seem to indicate a tendency to addictive behaviors (which are here understood through the heteronomic dependency of the subjects in the imaginet means of entertainment), as personality builders. The analysis of such behaviors may also indicate how much the youth simulate in their bodies and its relation to the extreme tendencies of the society, as a compulsion to repetition.

There is lack of studies with approach on the evaluation of torque steadiness in subjects with shoulder impingement, as well as studies evaluating the eccentric phase of elevation of the arm in these subjects. As such, the purpose of this study was to evaluate torque steadiness during isometric abduction and muscle performance during concentric and eccentric abduction of the shoulder in subjects with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) and healthy subjects. The SIS group consisted of 27 subjects (33.489.94 years) with unilateral SIS and it was divided into two groups: 1) SIS with the dominant involved side; 2) SIS with the nondominant involved side. The control group consisted of 23 healthy subjects (32.269.04 years). Peak torque and torque steadiness were measured during isometric abduction (80º in the scapular plane) of the shoulder. Standard deviation, coefficient of variation, stability time, median frequency, and relative power were measured from the steadiness trials. The target torque was 35% of peak torque. There were neither significant interactions between group and side (P > 0.05), nor were there significant main effects of group and side (P > 0.05) for all variables analyzed. Peak torque, total work and acceleration time were measured, bilaterally, during isokinetic concentric and eccentric abduction at 60°/s and 180°/s. No significant interactions were found between group and side (P>0.05), as well as no significant main effects of group and side (P>0.05) for all variables during concentric abduction of the shoulder at both tested speeds. During the eccentric contractions, lower total work (P<0.05) was demonstrated by the nondominant uninvolved side of SIS group at 60°/s, and by the uninvolved sides of the SIS groups at 180°/s compared to the dominant side of the controls. At 180°/s, the nondominant uninvolved side of the SIS group demonstrated slower acceleration time (P<0.05) compared to the dominant side of the control group, as well as the nondominant involved side of the SIS group compared to the nondominant side of the controls. The results of this study showed that steadiness is preserved by SIS during isometric abduction of the shoulder. No alterations were also shown in the measured parameters during concentric and eccentric phases of isokinetic abduction in subjects with SIS when compared to a control group. However, alterations may be observed in the contralateral side during the eccentric phase of abduction in subjects with unilateral conditions of SIS.

Knowledge transfer and technological solutions to products of a company requires integration between different departments and experts involved in the process of product and technology development. Adequate transference requires the use of certain mechanisms of management by the company aiming at improving such integration. Using bibliographic review on innovation and technological management and products development process, this thesis proposes a structure that contains management practices for integration of products development (PD) and technological development (TD). In addition to that, it was carried out a qualitative research, operationalized by means of case studies in five large and medium national technology-based companies from the sector of capital goods. The findings of empirical work scrutinized technology innovation in product development within these firms, and also management practices used to integration between PD and TD. Practices adopted by companies are described and confronted with the presented theoretical approach. Recommendations, originated from the theoretical and empirics research, suggest management practices capable of guiding actions for a better development of integration between PD and TD, such as: the insertion of multitasking employees in the development team, the participation of R&D workers in activities of market research and allocation of heavyweight product manager for the conduction of products development project which demand technological innovation

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a progressive disease with a significant reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) contributes to the emergence of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, thereby directly interfering with the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Objectives: Detection of osteoporosis, vertebral fractures and pain intensity in the regions of the spine in men with moderate to severe COPD, but also whether there is any relationship between the variables studied and the degree of pulmonary obstruction. Methods: We studied 34 males with COPD (COPDG) and 33 healthy sedentary men (CG), through the bone densitometry and radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Results: There were no significant differences between groups in clinical trials that were within normal limits and anthropometric data. The COPDG showed lower values in the spirometric variables, BMD and T-score at lumbar spine, femoral neck and trochanter compared with the CG (p<0,05; Student t test), moreover, there was no correlation between FEV1 and BMD and T-score (Pearson correlation, p>0,05). It was found that 28 (83%) of individuals COPDG have osteoporosis, and 20 individuals (59%) presented with moderate obstruction of the lumbar spine, 0l (3%) in the femoral neck and 0l (3%) in the trochanter; 4 (12%) with severe pulmonary obstruction in the lumbar spine, 0l (3%) and femoral neck 0l (3%) in the trochanter. Twenty subjects (59%) of COPDG with moderate obstructive pulmonary disease patients with osteoporosis showed osteoporotic vertebral fractures in segments T5, T7, T9, T11, T12 and L1 grads I and II, 4 (12%) with severe obstructive pulmonary disease patients with osteoporosis at the lumbar spine osteoporotic fractures had grade III between segments T12-L4 (k=0,90;CI: 95%; with k=0,72-1,0) already in the CG 3 subjects had vertebral fractures and osteoarthritis segments T5, T6 and L1 and none had osteoporotic vertebral fractures (k=0,89; CI: 95% with k=0,72-1,0), the pain intensity of 3 individuals COPDG obstructive lung conditions who had osteoporosis and osteoporotic vertebral fractures grade III, reported presence of pain intensity "light" in the thoracolumbar region, while 21 had osteoporotic vertebral fractures and 3 asymptomatic individuals with CG not osteoporotic vertebral fractures and arthritis reported moderate pain intensity in the lumbar region. Conclusions: We conclude that individuals with moderate to severe COPD also had pulmonary involvement, decreased BMD and osteoporotic vertebral fractures, which indicates the need to adopt measures that take into account the prevention of osteoporosis in these patients and early diagnosis of this. Still, considering the entirety of the individual's needs, these must be assessed and addressed in establishing programs of physical therapy intervention to avoid future complications such as worsening or appearance of new fractures and thus promoting the improvement of functional capacity and quality of life.

Hoplias malabaricus, a widespread Erythrinidae fish, is characterized by a karyotypic diversity, with seven karyomorphs already described. This report presented a comparative study of the karyomorphs A, B, C and D, which were previously included in a major karyotypic group (Group I), in order to evaluate the evolutionary relationships among them. The in situ investigation of several classes of repetitive DNAs added new informative characters useful in comparative genomics and provided new insights into the evolutionary relationships among karyomorphs. In addition to corroborate the inclusion of karyomorphs A-D in a close evolutionary group, the results provide further evidence for a greater proximity between the karyomorphs A-B and karyomorphs C-D. A comparative analysis among distinct populations of karyomorph A demonstrated a continuing genomic differentiation in this group, allowing the detection of recent evolutionary events, suggesting that this karyomorph cannot be considered an absolute evolutionary unit, as evidenced by their inner chromosomal differentiation. It was also expanded our knowledge of the sex chromosomes differentiation in H. malabaricus, allowing to conclude that repetitive DNAs played an important role in the differentiation process. It was detected a cryptic differentiated XX/XY sex chromosome system in karyomorph C, which is clearly correlated with the evolution of the X1X1X2X2/X1X2Y sex chromosome system of karyomorph D. The cytogenetic mapping of five classes of repetitive DNAs also indicated the probable derivation of the XX/XY chromosomes of karyomorph B from autosomal chromosomes of karyomorph A. In this case, the X chromosomes were seen as the preferred site for the accumulation of DNA repeats, which represents an unusual condition of X accumulating more repetitive DNAs than Y chromosome in fish. The overall results were able to demonstrate that the repetitive DNA fraction of the genome constitutes good evolutionary markers in H. malabaricus, allowing to improve the understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms that have generated the complex genomic structure found in this fish group.

Nowadays we have been observing the expansion of knowledge mainly caused by continuous changes in science and its techniques. Terminology, as an academic subject concerned with the so-called specialized languages, play an important role in this process. The relevance of this research can be justified by the lack of systematic terminological repertoire for a strategic sector of the Brazilian economy, as biofuels/biodiesel. In this sense, our goals are: i) systematize the terminology of biodiesel in Portuguese in order to promote more efficient communication, allowing both scientific and technological information exchange among users and researchers of this area, as well as, generate resources for the subsequent creation of the first dictionary of this knowledge domain; ii) investigate biodiesel terminology from a semantic perspective, choosing the Qualia Structure, model of semantic structure which integrates Pustejovsky s Generative Lexicon Theory (1995) as a theoretical frame. In order to develop this research, the methodology used was based on the one elaborated and improved by GETerm, adopting descriptive terminology of linguistic base, specifically the postulates of the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CTT) (CABRÉ, 1999, 2003). As results of this investigation, we attained: a biodiesel corpus with approximately 1.5 million words, an ontology containing 280 terms and a repertoire of 50 definitions. At the end, we concluded that the application of Qualia Structure in terminological work may support the terminographic activity.

Given current social concerns with respect to senior´s rights, this study describes and evaluates a Social-Skills Assertiveness Training-Program (ASSTP) for elderly people. The sample (two men and 13 women) participated in one of two intervention groups: Experimental (EG, which received the ASSTP) or Placebo (PG, which received educational interactive presentations), based on a placebo design. For pre, post-test and follow-up measures, participants were evaluated using the IHSI-Del-Prette (a Social Skills inventory for the elderly) and the IREI (a questionnaire for the evaluation of the extent to which elderly people understand and exercise their rights). Also, during the post-test, participants completed a program evaluation questionnaire User´s Satisfaction with the Training Program . Results indicated acquisition and maintenance of the assertiveness social-skills repertoire in the EG, but not in the PG. Assessments carried out in the pre, post and followup using the IREI multiple choice items indicated no differences between these results in either EG or the PG. For the requiring written responses, however qualitative questions of IREI statiscally significant differences were found for Spontaneous reports of senior rights (for the EG, but not the for PG) and for Discrimination of situations when elderly had their rights disrespected by others , between the posttest and follow-up results for both the EG and the PG. With respect to their satisfaction, both groups presented high means for: (1) satisfaction with the program received, (2) importance of the program´s procedures, (3) readiness to perform assertive social skills, and (4) self evaluation of their performance in the program, but the PG indicated higher levels of satisfaction than the EG. We discuss the impact and effectiveness of the ASST Program, the viability and the importance of using placebo designs in order to assess internal validity of social-skills assertiveness training-programs and its critical features, as well as the relevance of this kind of intervention for the elderly, at this time.

This study was conducted with thirteen participants dips and jumps in the Bacia do Salto do Rio Jacaré, site located at Parque dos Saltos in Brotas city, small town of São Paulo state. The social practice of dips and jumps in Bacia, culturally developed by residents of the city since childhood, which is presented as a breach of the established commercially values by the brotense tourism industry, because are developing in an unused space by agencies to due the risk that the site offers to people who do this. During the development of this dissertation, the relationship between popular culture, languages and cutout art and, the time and freedom in leisure, dialogue each and provided orientate many of reflections built. The objective of this research was to unveil the essence of a social recreation in the Bacia do Salto, in attempt to understand the educational processes constituted in these relations, in recognition to cultural diversity as a possible element for the establishment of a teaching focused on the human and its existence. The methodology was phenomenology, located phenomenon mode, conduced from the question: What does sense in your experience in Bacia do Salto of Rio Jacaré Pepira? In the analysis of the data collected through individual interviews, we found four categories: A) Ecstasy; B) Envisage the adversity, C) Masculine context; D) Educational Processes. In the considerations we understand the relationships of the educational components that travel in continuous motion from the reflections of the participants, embodied by the sensations of pleasure, means of confronting the fears and anxieties of daily life and self-assertion on the role they have assumed before the society . The essence indicates that a new look unveiled without preconceptions and willing to accept the popular wisdom of the experience, practice, social leisure, has potential facultative to building a humane pedagogical Latin American, born by way of men and women's groups and grassroots communities.

Starting from the point that the continual formation of teachers must give opportunities to reflect about its own practice, to live classroom experiences from the situations developed in the courses and gain access to a theoretical foundation, we try to investigate which knowledge is mobilized, built and/or meant again by a group of elementary school teachers in an extension course before the challenge of integrating the juvenile literature and math. Related to the formation of teachers, knowledge and knowledge base to the teaching, strategies of formation and connection of literature with math, we chose among some topics of discussion Alarcão, Charlot, Fiorentini et al, Gauthier et al, Grando, Imbernón, Machado, Mizukami et al, Nacarato, Nóvoa, Oliveira, Passos, Ponte, Schön, Serrazina, Shulman, Smole, Tardif and Zeichner. In a qualitative approach we aimed to identify and analyze in this context the knowledge that was mobilized related to the general pedagogical knowledge as well as the specific ones related the professional development of the teachers before several formative strategies that were adapted during the course as reflection, team work, narratives, pedagogical interferences and reflexive observation by the teachers of the video classes, and also identify and analyze the potentialities of using the methodology of the connection of juvenile literature with math to the teaching. The analysis of data signals that the knowledge mobilized by the teachers was multiple and from different sources; it indicates that changes in general knowledge as well as in specific one in math, new meanings of some conceptions that the collaborative teachers related the teaching posture to the contents, values, attitudes and behavior. We also noticed that the value given to the time of group work by the teachers with the sharing of knowledge, legitimation of some teaching actions related to the contents, ways of performance, pedagogical resources adapted and mainly related to some concepts of geometry, the treatment of information and fractional/rational numbers that were the topics studied during the course; the acknowledgement and acceptance of the differences in classroom. We raised evidences that the professional knowledge of the teachers was meant with practice since they started to face Math presented in books in a different way, conceiving a new way of mobilizing the students to a learning process, what means a bigger flexibility in the base of the knowledge to the teaching and offer potentialities for a professional development.
