(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Couto, Victor Fernando; Di Lorenzo, Valéria Amorim Pires; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9071791546812165; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8839041628278044
Introduction: The combined physical training (CPT) has been showed benefic on exercise tolerance in elderly individuals with COPD, but are little the articles that have been showed the impact on índex of prognostic and on the redution on the índex BODE in elderly individuals with COPD. Objectives: To compare the impact of the combination of aerobic training and strengh training on exercise tolerance, body composition and strengh muscle in elderly individuals with and without COPD, as well as to evaluate the impact of this treatment on the BODE index in elderly individuals with COPD. Methods: Eighteen male individuals completed the present study, nine were elders with COPD (COPDG) and nine were elders considered healthy (SG). All individuals were evaluated in terms of pulmonary function, walk distance by the sixminute walk test, cicloergometric in incremental test (CIT), cicloergometric in endurance test (CET), body composition variables and 1 repetition maximum test. Along of these variables, the COPDG individuals, were evaluated in terms of dyspnea (MRC scale) and BODE index total score. The training consisted of thirty minutes of aerobic training at 60-70% of the cicloergometric on incremental test (CIT) and subsequently three sets of fifteen repetitions of resistance training in lower limbs on leg press with an intensity of 40-60% of 1 RM. Between the end of aerobic training and the beginning of resistance, subjects performed five minutes of recovery. It were performed three sessions weekly for six weeks of CPT. Results: After the period of combined physical training, was observed significant difference in distance walked on the sixminute walk test in both COPDG and SG individuals. In the COPDG, after the CPT, there was an increase in the Wpeak by the CIT, limit time during CET, 1RM test workload (Kg) and BODE index total score reduction. Conclusion: The combined physical training promoted increase in tolerance exercise evaluated for walk distance by the six-minute walk test improvement in elderly individuals with and without COPD. We observed also that the CPT, increased workload (W) on CIT, time limit during the CET, in the 1RM test workload (Kg) and clinical redution in BODE index in elderly individuals with COPD.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Oliveira, Antonia Soares Silveira e; Hayashi, Maria Cristina Piumbato Innocentini; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4959575947732109
This study starts from our professional concerns in all segments of Basic Education and Higher Education in both Public and Private Institutions. Questions have arisen over the implementation of Inclusive Education, the Quota System and Educational Policy at the State University of Montes Claros - UNIMONTES. To ensure the admission, access and permanence of students with disabilities in higher education go far beyond suitable physical facilities. To establish a policy of inclusion in the University in relation to the disabled is necessary. We cannot deny the social role of UNIMONTES in the North of the State of Minas Gerais and its commitment to provide a more fair and democratic educational process for the production of knowledge and application of inclusion policies that meet the diversity, contributing to social inclusion and human development. In this sense, this research fits into this scenario, whose main axis was to investigate the admission, access and permanence of students with disabilities at the State University of Montes Claros - UNIMONTES admitted through the quota System and also to develop a diagnosis of inclusion policy of this university. In order to identify the study subjects, to examine the documents of COTEC, General Secretary and the Coordination of 27 graduate courses at the institution, within their respective campus Learning Centers based in the city of Montes Claros, was necessary. This analysis revealed then the subjects, who were students who had been admitted by the quota system in Category C (disabled), enrolled in undergraduate courses of this institution in the period of 2005 to 2009. This study was based on the principles of inclusion, that everybody has the right to education, regardless of the difficulties and differences. The research was conducted with the quantitative and descriptive methodology and the data collection instrument were official documents of the institution. The final considerations indicate the need to increase the limited mapping studies of students with disabilities in order to locate them and offer them decent conditions of permanence in the institution, along with institutional actions that will meet their expectations to ensure education for all.
Influência da orientação corporal e do treino específico nos parâmetros espaço-temporais na emergência do alcance em lactentes
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Cunha, Andréa Baraldi; Tudella, Eloisa; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3207258034860219
Considering that changes in the organism s adaptability process occur in response to the convergent influence of intrinsic and extrinsic constraints, studies have shown that the body orientation and practice can positively influence the movements of the upper extremities in infants. Thus, this study has two objectives divided into two studies: (1) assess the influence of body orientation and (2) assess the specific training influence during reaching s emergence period. To meet the objectives proposed, the kinematic variables (spatio-temporal) were obtained through infants assessments at two positions: supine position and reclined at 45°, in a baby chair until 3 days after emergence of reaching. In Study 1, reaches were analyzed in these two positions. In Study 2, two assessments were performed: pre training and post training, i.e., before and immediately after training, respectively. To complete the training protocol, infants were divided into three groups: no training, supine training group and reclined training group. The results indicated that the different postures were not able to promote changes in reaching spatio-temporal parameters at the time this ability emerges. However, specific training was effective to promote faster reaches in infants in the reach s emergency phase, with recline training position being more appropriated than supine position. Moreover, the effects of training in specific positions were not transferable from one to another. Therefore, during the emergence period of reaching, infants have irregular trajectories and as this ability is fundamental for infants motor, social, perceptual and cognitive development, different positions and specific training can be used as intervention strategies to promote different sensory and motor experiences and thus provide different demands on the neuromotor system, promoting new movement strategies.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Girotto, Vanessa Cristina; Mello, Roseli Rodrigues de; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1898701586881222
Esta investigación permitió que nosotros pudiésemos identificar algunos abordajes de la lectura en las escuelas, y también los límites de la cualidad de esa lectura para niños y niñas, identificados en los bajos índices de alfabetismo apuntados por el gobierno. Así, esta investigación reveló algunos avances en la promoción de la lectura desde el momento de implantación de esta actividad en clase y también los límites del sistema educacional que obstacularizaran su concretización. Basamos las análisis en los datos que revelan algunos aspectos que facilitarán y otros que dificultarán la práctica de las profesoras al realizar la lectura dialógica; aspectos que favorecerán y otros que dificultarán el impacto de la lectura dialógica en los aprendizajes de niños; y aquellos que favorecerán y los que dificultarán la práctica de la lectura dentro y fuera de la escuela. Los datos recogidos se refieren al segundo semestre de 2008 y fueron orientados por la metodología comunicativa-crítica y tuvieran como instrumentos de la recogida las observaciones en clases, los relatos comunicativos de vida y los grupos de discusión comunicativos realizados con las profesoras y con los niños y niñas investigados. Las analices refieren-se a dos dimensiones: transformadora y exclusora, propios de la metodología utilizada. El primer refiere-se a elementos encontrados en la realidad investigada que acercan los sujetos de la concretización de sus sueños y deseos; y la segunda refiere-se a obstáculos que impiden o dificultan la realización de los objetivos deseados. De manera general, los elementos que favorecen el establecimiento de esta actividad se refieren a un abordaje dialógico de la lectura que han venido a sumarse con las prácticas ya establecidas en clases; reflexionan sobre la importancia del papel de la profesora como mediadora y moderadora de las interacciones; destacan la ampliación del aspecto instrumental del aprendizaje de la lectura y de la escritura; interacciones entre niños basadas en el diálogo amplían los aprendizajes de los contenidos; posibilidad de lectura de los clásicos universales para discutir sobre la vida; importancia de las familias para fomentar el gusto por la lectura. Tenemos como elementos obstaculizadores la dificultad para establecer una dinámica dialógica en clase; la falta de copias de la literatura en los estantes de la biblioteca de la escuela; dificultades encontradas por las profesoras principiantes en moderación; interacciones antidialógicas y antisolidarias entre niños; relación entre el conocimiento instrumental de la lectura aún poco eficaz. La lectura dialógica en el aula representa un gran avance en la manera de enseñar lectura para niños.
Do ponto do meio ao auscultar do estalo: o percurso transformativo dos gêneros do discurso no processo de criação dramática de Luís Alberto de Abreu
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Pajeú, Hélio Márcio; Miotello, Valdemir; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9131819326282708; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1483750169047328
Construite sur la création collaborative, l'oeuvre de Luis Alberto Abreu devient le résultat d'une motion que l'architecte par le biais des discours de sujets différents, d'origines sociales diverses, qui participent à sa conception et sa relation avec d'autres discours, textes et éléments transtextuels qui mettent en valeur les voix et l'enchevêtrement de fils idéologiques qui se traversent au cantre de ses créations. Pour essayer de comprendre le parcours de transformation du discours quotidien en travail esthétique, dans le processus de création utilisé par cet auteur, dans un premier temps j ai essayé de démêler ce qui se trouve au milieu du passage d'un genre primaire (témoignage oral) pour un plus élaboré, un secondaire (théâtre) jusque encontrer l'avertissement de Bakhtine (2003) et d'arrêter ma recherche de la frontière, en passant à diriger mon attention sur ce qui se trouve au-delà du milieu, qui est plus loin, ailleurs, et qui donne sens à ceux qui sont énoncés dans son contexte immédiat et esthétique. À cette fin, j'ai eu recours à des catégories proposées par le philosophe, à savoir: les genres du discours, le style, l'auteur et le héros, la carnavalisation, la polyphonie, le dialogisme. Ainsi, je mets à la paume de ma main gauche ce que Bakhtine voit comme le genre primaire, e dans le centre de ma main droite ce qu'il appelle secondaire, a atteint un creux et parti à la recherche du bruit, en considérant être lui que va me diriger par les chemins vont faciliter la compréhension de ce phénomène. Par créer un réflexion de la façon dont ce dramaturge à être basé sur l'histoire orale s'appuie sur les discours des gens ordinaires, les transforme en héros et les amène au centre de l'intrigue, j'ai cherché à identifier, dans sa méthode de création comme est accordée à la possibilité de fusionner le réel (vie quotidienne, l'éthique) avec la fiction (dramatiques, esthétique). Comme objet de ma compréhension, j ai choisi une oeuvre signée par Abreu: Borandá: auto do migrante (2004), et je me suis penché sur plusieurs materialités qui incarnent l'essence même de cette création comme les témoignages pour sa conception, les photographies du spectacle, le texte dramatique et le jeu des acteurs. J'ai remarqué dans la façon dont ce travail a des caractéristiques qui les amène au reencontre de la pensée bakhtinienne que le discours est né tous les jours et la polyphonie que cercle sa architecture configure leurs senses dans l anterieur des relations d altérité entre les sujets, où l'autre est indispensable dans [pá gina x] la conception du Je et leur discours se constituent a mesure que ils appartenant à une perspective exotópica. Cela m'amène à croire que Abreu, à titre de énonceateur, | la conception de son discours, considère la voix de l autre qui apparaît dans la formation et structure de ses récits au développer un théâtre polyphonique, plein de héros polyvalent. Je note que c'est de l'oeuvre d'un porteparole éminent de la littérature française, François Rabelais, qui lui récupère certains pratiques quotidiennes qui sont présentés comme le lieu d où viens les éléments de preuves qui identifie les idéologies qui circulent dans la société. Ainsi, à travers de BorAndá, j'ai essayé de comprendre les relations et les véhicules consacrés du principe carnavalesque dans la vie quotidienne qui a conçu la culture populaire au Moyen Age et la Renaissance, et que les travaux de Abreu, fonctionne comme une partie de la finition de votre architecture, qui présente le drame brésilien avec de belles créations de ce genre, en s'appuyant sur les archétypes de la comédie dell'arte, dans le grotesque, la carnavalisation sur la place publique, dans les pratiques de la vie quotidienne, le folklore et la culture populaire brésilienne.
Relação entre agronegócios sustentáveis e os direitos de propriedade intelectual: um estudo de plantas transgênicas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Carvalho Neto, Gil Ramos de; Ferraz, Maria Cristina Comunian; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2893153253924855; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2102767617751404
A sustainable agribusiness must be concerned with all its branches, including the production and negotiation of agricultural biotechnologies. The study of transgenic plants theme brings up several issues that affect society today in regard to environmental, economic and social sustainability. The field of CTS studies seeks public awareness of the relationship between science, technology and society, taking into account the risk society we live in, and the process of reflexive modernization which we pass through. The law must comply with its regulatory function in the area, taking into account social expectations. The promulgation, on March 24, 2005, of the Biosafety Law (Law nº 11.105/2005) that proposes to establish safety standards and enforcement mechanisms of activities involving genetically modified organisms, is an initiative towards that path. This work, which is based on the technological monitoring of transgenic plants on the basis of patents from the National Institute for Intellectual Property, from the enactment of this Act, in addiction to analyzing the regulatory mark for those technologies in order to verify the possibility of dual protection of them, through the LPI and by the system of LPC. It was identified a concentration of patent filings on behalf of foreign companies, pointing to the need of an analysis of the risks from not only the technology itself, but also the know-how of technological products arising from genetic engineering. Concerning to the legal intellectual protection, this dissertation, according to the methodology used study of laws didn´t find any gaps that would enable the double protection of transgenic plants.
Alinhamento estratégico das operações : estudos de caso na interface com marketing
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Zanon, Celeste José; Alves Filho, Alceu Gomes; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7885557554922569; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9117512651101224
This research presents a discussion on the strategic alignment of operations associated with an understanding of market requirements. This subject is a essential strategic issue for operations and demands an appropriate level of interaction between their interfacing processes with marketing. The first objective of this thesis is to analyse these processes in three multinational manufacturing companies located in Brazil. This analysis was grounded in three theoretical bases: the strategic alignment of operations, the operations-marketing interface and strategic consensus. It aimed to answer the following research question: how is operations alignment implemented in the interface with marketing? The second objective is to evaluate the results of the application and evaluation of a framework, which is designed to improve operations strategic alignment. The following research question was developed: which factors in the framework‟s implementation affect the strategic alignment of operations in the interface with marketing? This research addresses an under-studied area that is subject to the influence of unquantifiable human behaviours related to managers‟ strategic tasks. Studies on perceptions, behaviour, interests, conflicts and power can reveal management‟s representations which are important for the strategic alignment. Therefore, this study employed a qualitative approach and a case study method to investigate how operations alignment is implemented and to understand the factors associated with the framework. This study verified that strategic operations alignment is established through the analysis of issues related to introducing new products, meeting demand and responding to tactical and operational problems. Therefore, meetings about introducing new products and meeting demand (Sales and Operations Planning S&OP) are key determinants of capacity choices in operations, infrastructure and control systems. Consensus on operations activities is achieved during S&OP meetings, but only on issues of capacity; this restriction limits operations alignment from reaching a broad and shared understanding of the business. In the case of technological choices, strategic alignment is established through the efforts of operational managers. These managers reconcile the needs of the marketing department with the recommendations of the engineering, research and development departments, the recommendations of the headquarters specialists and issues of cost and flexibility. The factors affecting the strategic alignment of operations included the balance between intra-functional trade-offs; perceptions of managers based on scientific evidence; the joint investigation of the competitive context; reflections on the customer needs and operational performance; low perception disparity; break-downs in organisational protections and an understanding of inter-functional trade-offs.
Nível de serviço para bicicletas: um estudo de caso nas cidades de São Carlos e Rio Claro
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Providelo, Janice Kirner; Sanches, Suely da Penha; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3857424839674606; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8753578276196372
This research attempted to study the issue of assessing the level of service for bicycles in Brazilian cities, with the ultimate aim of developing a bicycle level of service model that can be used in medium-sized Brazilian cities. The methodology used for model development began with the identification of attributes that can be used to describe the level of service for bicycles, followed by assessing the perceptions of individuals about the importance of the attributes. Among the methods available to measure the perceptions of individuals about the roadway characteristics related to bicycle transportation, it was chosen to use simulations (video based evaluation). The video was produced through a system in which a portable video camera was attached to the bicycle stern. To compensate for the exclusion of some attributes that could not be assessed through video (such as the sensation of heat, the cost of the bicycle, the health benefits, etc) the simulation method was combined with another method of perception analysis: questionnaires formulated based on the Likert scale. Data collection was performed in a case study in the cities of São Carlos and Rio Claro (São Paulo state), in several educational facilities. In total, 451 questionnaires were administered, 60 in the city of Rio Claro and the rest of them in the city of São Carlos. The results of field study were analyzed through methods of descriptive statistics and correlations, producing the following studies: questionnaires results, classification of participants into types of cyclists, the definition of a scale of acceptability to bicycle use and classification of participants in groups, according to this scale. The Bicycle Level of Service Model was calibrated using the FLOW variable, defined as the volume of motor vehicles divided by the effective width of the road, and the level of service grades resulting from the participants evaluation. The model was validated through cross-validation methodology. The model development resulted in a graphic that can be used to determine the probability of perceived level of service for flow values found on roadways. It was considered that the study reached its primary goal, providing a Bicycle Level of Service Model that can be used in medium-sized Brazilian cities.

In the process of dissemination of social and environmental practices, companies have realized that sugarcane social responsibility initiatives can be used to reduce costs, increase competitive advantage, manage risk and reputation and turned the green initiatives on business strategies. Thus, sugarcane industry use monitoring mechanisms and accountability sought at the promotion and progress transparency to social and environmental practices developed. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the limits and possibilities of social statement in the process of dissemination of social and environmental practices in sugar and alcohol. The question this thesis answers is to what extent social reports published by the companies are valid instruments for the analysis of social and environmental practices of the units of ethanol production. On completion of the thesis were worked data and information collected through field research conducted with the plants, and secondary information from the social reports published by the sugar and alcohol in the period 2001 to 2008. The thesis conducts analysis of social and environmental practices at the industry, through the social reports published by them, with the views of supporters of the institutes of social reports (Brazilian Institute of Social and Economic Analysis, Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility and Global Reporting Initiative) attend in the following issues: social, environmental responsibility, sustainable development and sustainability.
Intervenção domiciliar e envolvimento paterno: efeitos em famílias de crianças com síndrome de Down
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-02-21) Silva, Nancy Capretz Batista da; Aiello, Ana Lúcia Rossito; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7544189440874179; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5087767006102520
The family is of fundamental importance in child development. Although neglected in many studies, the father is a unique contributor to his child s development, but remains absent from early intervention programs. This study aimed to determine the effect of a home-based intervention for fathers on their child s development, the interaction of both parents with their child, and the effects on home envorinment and on stress, depression, level of coping, parental and marital satisfaction, perceptions of family functioning and social support and empowerment of both parents. Six families of children with Down s syndrome, between 1 and 2 years of age had their children s development evaluated using the Operationalized Portage Inventory, in two São Paulo in country cities. The Questionnaire for the Characterization of the Family System was used to capture demographic information about the families; parts C and D of the General Guide of Transcription of Interview Data to evaluate the participation of fathers and grandparents; the Interview for the Characterization of Brazilian Fathers Role in the Education of a Child with an Intellectual Disability to evaluate fathers involvement; HOME Inventory to assess stimulation ofered to the child in the home environment; QRS-F and Lipp s Inventory of Stress Symptoms to measure parents stress; Beck s Depression Inventory to assess the existence and the level of depression; FACES III to evaluate the perception of family functioning; Coping Strategies Inventory to assess the level of coping; Social Suport Questionnaire to evaluate the perception of social suport; PSOC to assess parental satisfaction; Scale of Marital Satisfaction to assess marital satisfaction and FES to evaluate parents empowerment. In order to observe fatherchild, mother-child and father-mother-child interactions, it was used the Protocol for Categorizing the Analysis of Filmed Interactions, the Definitive System of Observational Categories and a Protocol for the Evaluation of Dyadic/Triadic Interaction. It was observed that all children had developmental delays. Parents asessment indicated: low levels of stress related to the child s presence, absence of stress among fathers, stress among all the mothers, high levels of self-esteem and empowerment, one father with depression, high levels of cohesion and adaptability, the use of various coping strategies, wide social networks and satisfaction with social support and good marital satisfaction among couples. In addition, all offered home environments that stimulated and supported their children, and family interactions were satisfatory, although they differed in some respects between fathers and mothers and in dyads and triads. The training activities conducted by the fathers, based on the Portage Inventory contributed to the development of new repertories in their children, positive behaviour in interactions were more frequent over time and a decrease in indices of stress among the mothers. The other parents charateristics assessed didn t alter generally during the families participation in the study. The stimulation and support in the home environment became better or worse depending on the family. The relation between some results and research in this field is discussed. It was concluded that early intervention programs should abandon the child-centered model to adopt a familycentered model, in which fathers are an important parent for family functioning and for child development.
