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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The objective of this research is to contribute to the study of the legal definition of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and its legal implications for contract negotiation and local sales tax. These definitions will provide greater transparency and legal certainty for negotiations in the carbon market defined by the Kyoto Protocol. The methodology used in the study was to analyze the current National Legislation, literature from government sources and international research organizations. The study showed that the most viable legal classification for CERs is intangible, because the certificates can be equaled to a right which the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) certificate holder has after its approval. From the understanding of the legal nature of CERs as intangible, we performed an analysis of contractual arrangements applied during the negotiations of the licenses and taxes that could be incident on the certificates. The contract type that was the most appropriate for the negotiation of licenses was the promise to transfer or assignment of future intangibles. In relation to taxation, taxes were the main Income Tax of Legal Entities and the Tax on Financial Operations. However, a full tax exemption could attract interest from new investors in CDM projects, which would result in a more sustainable environmental and socioeconomic development.

This dissertation is inserted in the area of foundations of Education of the Program of Post- Graduation in Education of the Federal University of São Carlos. A study of the field of History of School institutions, which has the object of study Mariana-MG Primary School (a public and primary school). The period chosen has beginning in 1889, to monitor the first initiatives of the government republican of the city in relation to primary public education, and extends until the year 1915- year in which José Ignácio has left the direction of the Group and moved to Ituiutaba-MG. The motivation for the installation of the Group, teachers, students and curricula were observed. Show how was the public education and primary schools in the municipality in the period before the creation of the Group, in calls Isolated Schools, was also a concern of the dissertation. For such was been consulted different archives: Archive Public Miner, Archive of the Municipal Council of Mariana, Acquis of the State School Dom Benevides and newspapers. Tried to relation the particular context The School Group of Mariana- a wider context of the state scenario and, in some moments, nationally. The conclusions pointed to the fact that education carried out in the Group School of Mariana was elitist. It studied mainly the children of declared "republicans" with good financial conditions, while in isolated schools were the poorest and residents of districts and parishes of the city. The quality and the structure of the place of teaching were much better in the Group. The results allow the beginning of a construction of the history of the same, bringing together various documents, which may assist other researchers interested in studying the primary education in the period of the First Republic, and even the School Group of Marian and/or the isolated schools that still has much to be studied.

This study aims to examine to what extent the teaching oriented activities can contribute to the development of an educational computer game with the participation of students in the sixth year of Elementary Education. The teaching oriented activities were developed at first on paper in order to take into account oral and written elaborations of the students while the game was being "gestated". This strategy is based on current methodologies adopted in Computer Science, to build software or computer games that take into consideration the participation of users in the development process, such as "participatory design" or "user-centered design ". To utilize these methodologies we took into account some necessity encountered in the classroom by the actresses and actors of the research (teacher, student, programmer and researcher). The concern with educational computer games in the classroom is inspired on current pedagogical practices, where technology is increasingly being used and in some cases do not cause "real" changes in the traditional methodological approaches in the classroom. The construction of the data occurred in a public school in the inland of the state of São Paulo. The research question was defined as: to what extent the teaching oriented activities of geometric concepts can contribute to the development of an educational computer game with students in the sixth year of elementary school? The research was qualitative and the data analysis was constructed from the organization, reading and analysis of "teaching episodes." Such reviews are based on written and oral elaborations of students, identifying those that can assist on the development of educational computer game. We also intend to understand how such a process takes place, regarding the interaction among students, teacher, researcher and developer. As main findings we highlight the contribution of teaching oriented activities in the reveal of some unexpected situations throughout its development, which allow a special look as for some pedagogical aspects of the game. However, we emphasize a need to discuss some aspects that go beyond pedagogical issues, such as a necessary reconfiguration of the school aiming to promote dialogue with students of the twenty-first century. This reconfiguration is in the sense of conceiving a school that takes into consideration aspects of current society such as the networked information, its nonlinearity, as well as a school that prioritizes creativity and autonomy in educational processes.

Biodiesel is considered as a viable alternative to partially replace fossil fuels. The manufacture process of biodiesel produces approximately 10% glycerin, the main byproduct. Due to the growth of the biodiesel industry in Brazil and abroad, the high volumes of glycerin become a bottleneck in this chain, given that currently use the glycerin market serves a very narrow and specific. Many efforts have been directed to find strategic alternatives for the sustainable use of biodiesel derived glycerin. The competitiveness of the production chain, which originates with the glycerin byproduct of the manufacture of biodiesel, has as one of its determinants identifying technological routes and products to intensify the consumption of this product. In this dissertation, the goal was to determine how it is being done to manage technological innovation and progress in the identification and discussion of the influence which the glycerin is delivering on the biodiesel production chain, seeking possible ways to increase both competitiveness of Brazilian production chain glycerin and biodiesel. To achieve this, interviews were conducted with biodiesel producers, producers and consumers of glycerin and laboratories and research institutes. These interviews were conducted with the aid of a semi-structured questionnaire. A documentary analysis on patents involving the object of study was also performed to verify the main uses found for glycerin. With this, through a chain mapping of glycerol, was described and analyzed the dynamics of their operation and also identified the players who participate directly and indirectly, as well as the productive chains of biodiesel and glycerin are dealing with the management technological innovation aimed at the production thereof. By analyzing the factors of firm strategy, industry standard, technology transfer, leadership, opportunity, appropriability and cumulative, and also with the emergence of new businesses and new markets for the sector was possible to identify a great technological potential for the sector of glycerin. However, due to technological challenges still exist in the production process of biodiesel, this biofuel industry is not focused on these new opportunities.

In the supermarket segment, which is in a growing process of concentration, there are small businesses, mostly on the periphery of cities and dealing with the treatment of lower income populations. These independent businesses have faced their challenges through cooperative actions in the form of central business. Initially focused on the increased bargaining power with suppliers through joint procurement, the central business begin to generate other benefits for its members as an exchange of information and experiences and for synergies through shares in other business areas such as selection, training and human resource management, accounting, marketing actions, etc.. The central business of small supermarkets can be defined as horizontal interorganizational cooperative networks whose effectiveness was associated with the operation and strength of its formal and informal mechanisms of coordination and relational cohesion among its members. This work aimed to study and analyze a group of these networks located within the state of S. Paul compared in terms of its effectiveness, relations between members and the mechanisms through which they coordinate their activities in each network. It was also made an analysis of the dynamic effects of a merger between two networks occurred recently. It was found that, for the networks studied, concerning the aspect of its operations and its process of formation and consolidation, there is evidence of similarities between them in setting up an isomorphic process and the interaction between formality and informality. Moreover, there remain some differences in coordination and cohesion that would be associated.

This study aimed to describe the method used for the kinematic analysis of kicking movements in infants and to determine the effect of additional weighting in the pattern of the kicking movements of infants in the first four months of life. For this, two studies are presented. The first study describes the method used for the kinematic analysis of kicking movements in infants. In the study, four infants were longitudinally videotaped at ages from one to six months and analysis was performed on the Dvideow system. It was verified that the use four video cameras was required. Moreover, six plumb lines were used to calibrate the system and ensure an accuracy of 2 mm. It was concluded, based in the first estudy that the use of the Dvideow system to perform kinematic analysis of the kicking movement in infants proved to be appropriate and feasible. The second study aimed to verify the influence of weights of 1/10 e 1/3 the mass of lower limb in the pattern of the kicking movements of infants in the first four months of life. Fourteen healthy infants participated in the study, longitudinally videotaped. Kicking frequency, foot/panel contact frequency, intralimb coordination pattern, movement time, average speed and straightness index were analyzed. Comparing the ages, we found differences in the kicking frequency, foot/panel contact frequency, movement time, and average speed. Comparing the weighting conditions, we found changes in the kicking frequency and foot/panel contact frequency; the kinematic variables remained unchanged. Therefore, we suggest that during the first four months of life, infants change the kicking frequency according to their ages, the intra-session training and additional weighting. These features are probably the result of intrinsic factors such as increased mass and muscle strength, behavior status of infants, maturation of the Central Nervous System and extrinsic factors such as the weight and the interest in the environment and in performing the proposed task.

In this work, a study of different synthetic ways was made in order to obtain spiro compounds starting from R-(-)-carvone, getting to the formation of cycloheptenone as an intermediate, which undergoes two consecutives alkylations to the formation of a bis alkylated compound which would be submitted to a ring closing metathesis and consequently reaching the spiro compound. The synthesis of the cycloheptenone was started using R-(-)-carvone as starting material through three different routes (Scheme I), obtaining better yields when the third route was used, where the Nozaki reaction is responsible for the ring expansion. Besides that, this route was faster because it has only two steps. Having synthesized cycloheptenone, the first alkylation of this molecule was tested with allyl chloride and potassium terc-butoxide in terc-butanol yielding mono-alkylated product. The second alkylation only yielded the product when the solvent was substituted for dimethylsulfoxide, instead of t-BuOH, using 3-chloro-2- XX methylpropene as alkylating agent. Although the formation of bis-alkylated product was confirmed, the yields were low. Trying to obtain other bis-alkylated products, reactions with 2,3-dichloropropene and 2,3-dibromopropene were tested. Having the bis alkylated product obtained using 3-chloro-2- methylpropene as reagent, the ring closing metathesis (RCM) with first generation Grubbs catalyst 3 was tested. However, after 24 hours, the formation of the desired spiro compound didn t happen under these conditions.

Various authors have denounced the inadequacy of the proposals for continuing education offered to teachers of early elementary, by the distance they keep, in their school curriculum, of school s reality, and the inability to contribute to the establishment of a significant professional and institutional transformation in education, which points out the importance of reflecting and refocusing the proposals of the formation of trainers. Assuming that only a democratically, critical and politically committed formation, with a humanised education of children, youth and adults can contribute to the transformation of individuals and their contexts, the research is rooted on the philosophical and pedagogical principles of educator Paulo Freire. According to these principles, humans are in the world, with the world and with each other, conditioned by time and space in which they live. Therefore, trainers of teachers form and will be forming in their relationships, conditioned by the historical, social, political, cultural and economical system that they make and that influences them. Considering the impact that such system and educational policies exert on the working and behaviour of the teaching professionals, as well as on the functioning of educational institutions, we present the following question: how has the formation of trainers of teachers of early elementary, which act or have acted in continuing education programs, been handled by the Department of Education of the State of São Paulo, and how to reorient the proposals of such programmes within the framework of research and training, from the trajectory of life and occupation of the trainers, through the assumptions of Progressive Pedagogy of Paulo Freire? In order to answer this question, we selected two procedures: the first enabled the wider analysis of the complex processes of formation and auto formation experienced by the trainers, in the course of their personal and professional paths interviews to collect their life stories; the second allowed to identify and analyse the ideas and positions of these people on the relevant themes related to life in the profession, from the freirean frame and the Communicative Critical Methodology - dialogues between each participant and the researcher. Data collection and data analysis are performed from the recording and transcript of conversations with two educators who work continuously with the training of teachers: one that participates in policy making training effected by the Department of Education of the State of São Paulo, and another who works in the implementation of such policies, within the framework of the boards of education. The base of all the research and, most importantly, the results of the dialogues with participants, confirm that the trainers consist of the subjectsubject, subject-object and subject-object-subject relations. These relations establish the historical conditions of living, schooling, social classes, which provide them with learning, thoughts and with the confrontation of situations that affect and oppress, accommodate or rupture, cause barriers or satisfactions, through the constant dialectical movement of doing and redoing, making and remaking. We verify the potenciality of the historical freirean Praxis to the indication of some principles and actions focused on research and proposals for continuing education of (the) educators, in the sphere of schools, public education, universities and trade unions, involving the unity in diversity, the criticality and the dialogue present in the work of Freire and the methodology adopted.

This research proposes to examine the texts ―Obrar‖, ―Ver‖, ―O apanhador de desperdício‖, ―Achadouros‖, ―Sobre importâncias‖ and ―Soberania‖ tha are present, respectively, on the books Memórias Inventadas: A Infância, Memórias Inventadas: A Segunda Infância, Memórias Inventadas: A Terceira Infância, published in 2003, 2006 and 2008 and written by Manoel de Barros, because we start from the premise that the aesthetic discourse of the subjects of these texts represents Barros s architectonics when he works with a construction of a discourses that are opposite of the contemporary social-political system discourses, that´s because while this hegemonic discourse, with its exclusionary and accumulative logic, disseminates a respect to the cartesian and logical world represented by the world of labor, that are the construction of opposite discourses expressed by the subjects of the above texts, which proclaim the world by an optic that values concrete subjectivism and, at the same time, contemplative and erotic, represented by the view and the voice of an adult-child subject, in its childhood. This way, we intend to show the aesthetic construction of these discourses, by a bakhtinian analysis about the subjects, time and space. The theoretical-analytical notions studied by the Bakhtin s Circle (that means the writings by Bakhtin, Voloshinov and Medvedev) are the basic proposals of this research (specifically the dialogism - as a philosophic notion focused on the Russian circle - ethics and aesthetics, subject, chronotope and carnavalization), since they collaborate for a better comprehension around the constitution of the aesthetic discourse proposed by Barros. This way of seeing, understanding and reprsentating the world achieves a new aesthetic meaning which undervalues the sense of speed and accuracy of the "adult world", present in this hegemonic discourse, to turn it into lightness, eroticism and contemplation, that are trangressors and constituentes values of early childhood memories of the ―adult-child‖ subject, ―porque eu não sou da informática: eu sou da invencionática (Barros, 2003, IX).

From the Supply Chain Management (SCM), the logistic function expands its scope within the company, going to exert or support the management and operation of key business processes. Its performance leaves to reduce only the functional sphere ( silo or vertical area ), passing to reach horizontal sphere in such processes. Various sources of literature indicate changes in the logistic function but not characterize precisely or discuss the changes in its scope within the company. In particular, the benefits generated by the involvement of the logistic function on key business processes of SCM have been identified in the literature, but were not identified logistic activities that must execute in each of the processes so that these benefits are achieved. In front of this theoretical gap, the objective of this doctorate thesis was to propose logistic activities necessary for the efficacious operation of key business processes of SCM, generating a conceptual framework that assists in implementing these activities. Such a framework is a guide that can help companies identify, characterize and select the activities that the logistic function can develop in their key business processes. More specifically, this conceptual framework presents, besides the own logistics activities, a way of characterizing these activities, according to four criterions: a) obligatoriness of existence in the company (basic or optional), b) impact on the generation of value (efficiency, efficacy and/or differentiation), c) impact on the dimension of logistic service, d) the integration and coordination with other areas or processes. This thesis used the approach of qualitative research, of descriptive character, of exploratory nature and with experimental study of field. The research method was the multi-case study and the mechanism of data collection was the personal interview realized by a semi-structured questionnaire. This research is also of theoretical-conceptual nature, because it developed a conceptual framework generated from the theoretical review. In three case studies realized, observed consistency in the proposed logistic activities and in its form of characterization. Among the 25 proposed activities, the Company 1 realizes 21 of them, the Company 2 realizes 23 activities and the Company 3 realizes all 25 activities, and all interviewed declared that the set of these proposed activities was complete and consistent.
