In a daily basis, people face judgments or ideas regarding certain issues in different means of communication, such as, news editorials, magazines, forum threads, e-mails, blogs, etc. In this context, these opinions begin to strongly influence people s decisions and can often be useful to find out what people think about a particular topic. Then, how to keep track of the mass opinions on the web? Without a thorough assessment of the clues presented in a text this task becomes impossible. Given the importance of these opinions in the generation of ideas, feelings and even impressions, this paper work focuses on the study of lexical patterns in opinion texts, based on the theories presented by Wiebe e Mihalcea (2006), Kim and Hovy (2006), Wilson et al (2005), among others. The corpus used in this study and the method that identifies expressions that denote evaluation have been taken from Folha de São Paulo, a newspaper database. After the delimitation of the expressions and the use of computational tools, two evaluative glossaries have been defined, a positive and a negative one. Thus, this study aims at contributing with the identification of opinions in other texts/contexts and at providing a basis for future work in the field of sentiment analysis.

Dynamics of S&T development and its application is transforming modern society since the beginning of scientific revolution in the early seventeenth century. Political, economic, environmental and social elements undergo continuous changes through intricate relationship between these two forces, handled as synonymous for progress and evolution, but has placed humanity on alert due to its controversial effects, from the construction and use of chemical and nuclear weapons up to the effects of increased deforestation and environmental pollution. Thus, technoscience, a term used within the STS studies to describe the disfigurement of scientific development, has become a source of hazards and damages to modernity. This research is concerned on understanding the way technoscientific development has occurred and what are its controversial effects produced. Through a sociological and historical interpretation, the work is divided into four parts: the first attempts to evidence how technoscience is formed and what is its relationship with global capital. In the second part, through the theories of sociology of science classic authors , the aim is to understand the internal and epistemological aspects of the technoscientific practice. In the third part it will be analyzed the negative effects and damages that S&T brought to the present. In a last part, through the STS approach and Social Technology concepts, it will be presented some reflections about the possibility and need for a socio-technical adequacy.

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. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the Military Academy of Realengo in the period 1913 to 1929, and teaching it in order to characterize the type of officer who sought to form this teaching. Other objectives are to analyze the teaching of Military Academy of Praia Vermelha, the predecessor of EMR in the training of officers, and the study of the conditions of the army and military education in the period before the founding of the EMR between 1905 and 1913. We assume that, between 1913 and 1929, EMR has served as a laboratory of the Army for the experiments about which education /instruction would be ideal for building the Army frame. The primary sources occupy a privileged place in this dissertation, with emphasis on primary sources handwritten, printed, oral and virtual. Source official personnel file, memorialistic reports, interviews and memoirs. The studies allowed the identification of three periods of "educational experiments" in the EMR. The first period, from 1913 to 1918, was essentially marked by the scarcity of resources of all kinds: human, material and disciplinary. The second period from 1918 to 1922, was marked by a wave of modernization that aimed to train an officer with technical knowledge and more advanced practitioners, with a strict discipline and preparation to perform the duties of commanding troops. The third and last period begins in 1922 with the penetration of French officers in the EMR with the drafting of a new regulation for the military school which proposed the formation of an officer who kept their technical and professional knowledge, strict discipline, and readiness for perform the function of commanding troops, but he saw as a prerequisite for the incorporation of these skills a cultural scientific broader than was being offered.

Software system development demands appropriate tools, technologies and development processes in order to create systems that meet customer s business needs while being flexible enough to cope with business evolution and constant changes. Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is an IT paradigm that might help on such development as long as a development process is established to address its peculiarities. As part of this work some of these processes were analyzed and it was observed that several of them focus on development of systems composed exclusively by services, which is not always interesting: first when building software s graphical user interface, second when the business logic that gives competitive advantage needs to be encapsulated, or third at enterprises starting the SOC adoption. In these cases a mix of Object-Oriented (OO) elements and SOC principles, concepts, technologies and techniques could be used to provide better results. This work presents an iterative approach to develop software that uses OO and services, named IASWS (Iterative Approach for Software Development using Web Services) based on the Incremental model. It incorporates business process modeling using BPMN; XP and SoaML profile. This approach differs from the others as it allows services and SOC gradual adoption and is comprised of nine phases: Requirements Identification, Business Process (BP) and Services Contextualization, Service Design, Service Implementation, Service Testing, Solution Design, Solution Implementation, Solution Testing and Acceptance Verification. This dissertation is focused on the four initial phases: Requirements Identification, BP and Services Contextualization, Service Design and Solution Design which are responsible for: system requirements gathering, requirements analysis and solution elaboration, service design and solution design. Software increments are delivered as iterations complete and includes the implementation of one or more business process. Delivering software increments to the customer allows for development progress visualization and provides feedback on what had been implemented. Business process modeling using BPMN contributes to understanding customer s business area and improves requirements identification. Services are modeled and specified using SoaML profile allowing automatic code generation at the implementation phase. Two examples applying approach to development were carried out to investigate the IASWS applicability.

The proposition of this research is to analyse the partipation of the congress in foreing policys through the international acts of human rights, approved by the congress after the 1988 constitution. The option for this specific theme of international acts is justified by the change introduced by 45/2004 constitutional amendment that added the § 3º the the 5º article of the federal constitution of 1988. Our objectives are: (i) Verify how this theme, human rights, entered the brazilian agenda. For that we used the approach of the international regimes theory; (ii) analyse what is the congress performance in foreing policy in human rights in two different moments: before and after the promulgation of the 45/2004 amendment; (iii) point if there were changes in the participation of the legislative powee after the 45/2004 amendment. To that will be analysed the processing and the debates in both congress houses, chamber of deputies and the federal senate, regarding the international acts of human rights of the United Nations Universal System. The results that were found showed that the amendment, in a way, borught a bigger protagonism to the legislative in this specific theme and that are other ways for this power to participate beyond those in the described in the constitutional text.

Com este estúdio, exploratório, de naturaleza cualitativa y etnográfica, inscripto en el área de la Linguística Aplicada, objetivamos (re)conocer las representaciones de profesores sobre la utilización de internet para la enseñanza de portugués para extranjeros. Partimos de la hipótesis de que algunos profesores del área son guiados por una competencia implícita cuando seleccionan, manejan y presentan materiales autenticos en internet destinados a promover tareas o actividades significativas. El núcleo del marco teórico del estudio fue construido con base en Almeida Filho (993) en lo que se refiere al Modelo de la Operación Global de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación, y en Prensky (s/d), en lo que concierne a los conceptos de Inmigrante Digital y Nativo Digital. La creación de datos fue realizada en una Universidad Nacional del interior paulista (Brasil), durante el primer semestre de 2011. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: grabación en áudio, con la posterior transcripción; cuestionarios aplicados a aprendientes y a profesores en formación de PLE; diario del investigador. Fueron observados tres grupos y los análisis fueron realizados sobre dos grupos, uno con hablantes de español y otro con hablantes de otras lenguas. Para alcanzar los objetivos propuestos en el estudio, fue necesario observar y analizar las acciones de profesores de portugués para extranjeros en clase, lo que nos permitió obtener una comprensión amplia sobre sus acciones, a partir de las cuales fue posible comprender y (re)conocer sus representaciones y caracterizar los usos de internet en la práctica didáctica.

The large scale production of monoclonal antibodies is the Biotechnology field that has achieved the biggest advances and realizations over the last 20 years, especially in the area of diagnosis and therapeutic applications. The world market of products for clinical diagnosis reached the value of US$ 19.0 billions in 2008 and continues to grow at a rate of 5 % per year. The development of bioprocesses of high productivity in large scale production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) depends on the determination and optimization of various kinetic and metabolic parameters of hybridomas. The aim of this study was to analyze kinetic and metabolic characteristics of murine hybridomas for production of immunoglobulins for blood typing by the ABO system, of great interest to the Brazilian public health. Three strains of murine hybridomas named ED7, ED9 and TAN generated in a brazilian research center to produce the antibodies anti-A, anti-B and anti-A,B, respectively, were evaluated for this purpose. Using only two lineage, ED7 and ED9, because of presenting bigger potential and stability for production of AMs in large scale, experiments of cultivation were carried out in spinner flask of 500 mL and in biorreator (Bioflo-110) of 2L, using culture media RPMI 1640 and MAb Quantum Yield-BD, both with addition of 10 % v/v of fetal bovine serum. The first one being the medium of origin of the hybrid clones, in some cases supplemented with amino acids (Gln, Met, Cys, Ser, Lys and Pro), and the second, a new alternative medium to which the hybridomas had to be adapted before the cultivation experiments. The results showed the need for additional nutritional balance of the media, especially RPMIS, to meet the nutritional demands of the two hybridomas. Through nutritional balance and cultivation in better controlled conditions in the bioreactor, it was possible to raise the maximum specific growth rate μmax from 0.0304 ± 0.0014 h-1 to ±0.0329 0.002 h-1 and the productivity of AM from 0.031 mg/L.h to 0.077 mg/L.h with the lineage ED7. With the lineage ED9 the μmax decreased from 0.0412 ± 0.0024 h-1 to 0.0373± h-1 but increased the productivity of AM from 0.030 mg / L.h to 0.040 mg / L.h. On the other hand, agglutination tests showed that the antibodies were functional and with titles stable and within normal limits. Despite the gains in productivity of the two AMs, the results highlighted a typical problem found in vitro cultivation of hybridomas, which is characterized by deregulation of its metabolism in the presence of high concentrations of glucose and glutamine, conduzing to overproction of the metabolites lactate and amonia. Because of this, one can predict that the future development of the bioprocess for the production of anti-A and anti-AB has to go through a stage of evaluation and system optimization in fed batch cultivation.

The recent changes in Brazilian legislation to stimulate the innovation have influenced the functioning of public universities. The regulation of mechanisms of intellectual property management and technology transfer originated the innovation agencies, which are the scope of this work, trough STS studies (Science, Technology and Society). It assumes that their action has contributed to improve communication with the various university publics, helping to promote a cultural change towards innovation. The objective of this research is to identify, analyze and understand how the public university uses its structure and communication resources, through its agencies, to fulfill its institutional mission. It also aims to identify the perception of of its agents on the subject. The sample includes the innovation agencies of the Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos, Universidade Estadual de Campinas and Universidade de Sao Paulo. The qualitative case study used as methodology the Content Analysis, conducted from data collected in interviews with leaders and advisors. The investigation indicates a low level of international integration of communication activities, on which the legislation lacks regulatory elements; shows a consensus in the agents perception about the existence of a change in the academy stance on innovation, aligned with the role of university to promote social and economic development; appoints that the new legislation is one of the factors for that cultural change, together with the development of ICTs and the growing demand for the country.

Sugarcane bagasse is an interesting option for second generation ethanol production. However, its use for this purpose is constrained by the energetic self-suficiency of the industrial plant, apart from the necessary economic considerations, given other possible uses for sugarcane bagasse. It was proposed in this work the development of a tool to assist economic and process-related decisions regarding the production of ethanol from sugarcane juice and bagasse, through stationary simulation and optimization of the first and second generation ethanol production process. A new approach for distillation columns simulation using equation-based simulators was presented, using multilinear interpolation. This approach allowed the simulation of the process of ethanol production, which employs a set of distillation columns for ethanol purification, that would otherwise present convergence problems, especially during the optimization step in which several conditions are tested. Results show that the methodology was able to reproduce the nonlinear behavior of the set of distillation columns with enough precision for the work developed here. The tool was tested for second generation ethanol production using organosolv as pretreatment. The results show that the implemented stochastic optimizer was able to find the optimal condition for an objective function representing the cash ow of the plant, which was confirmed by the contour plots obtained for this function. The tool also allows the analysis of steam consumption distribution for each section of the industrial plant, which enables the determination of the impact of second generation ethanol production on the general process.

The aim of Study 1 was to evaluate the effects of using oral contraceptives (OC) on the hip and knee kinematics of healthy women during single-leg squat. Forty two volunteers were divided into two groups: women who had used OC (n= 21) and women who did not use OC (n= 21). The knee abduction/adduction, hip abduction/adduction and medial/lateral rotation excursions (maximum and at 75º of knee flexion) were calculated for the dominant limb during single-leg squat. No significant difference was verified between the groups regarding the maximum excursion of knee abduction (p= 0.26) or hip adduction (p= 0.10) and medial rotation (p= 0.94). When considering the knee flexion at 75º, no significant difference was verified between the groups regarding the excursion of knee abduction (p= 0.31) or hip adduction (p= 0.11) and medial rotation (p= 0.85). These results suggest that the use of OC does not influence the hip and knee kinematics during single-leg squat. As a complement, the aim of Study 2 was to evaluate the effects of using OC on the hip and knee kinematics of healthy women during anterior stair descent. Forty volunteers were divided into two groups: women who had used OC (n= 20) and 2 - women who did not use OC (n= 20). The knee abduction/adduction, hip abduction/adduction and medial/lateral rotation excursions were calculated for the dominant (supporting) limb during anterior stair descent. No significant difference was verified between the groups regarding the maximum excursion of knee abduction (p= 0.58) or hip adduction (p= 0.29) and medial rotation (p= 0.42). When considering the knee flexion at 50º, no significant difference was verified between the groups regarding the excursion of knee abduction (p= 0.92) or hip adduction (p= 0.50) and medial/lateral rotation (p= 0.19). These results suggest that the use of OC does not influence the hip and knee kinematics during anterior stair descent. The aim of Study 3 was to verify the effects of eight-week plyometric training (PT) on hip and knee kinematics and on eccentric hip and knee torques, as well as on lower limb functional performance in healthy women. Thirty-six females were divided into a training group (TG; n= 18), and a control group (CG; n= 18). Kinematic analyses of the hip and knee was carried out during the single-leg squat and the functional performance was evaluated by way of the triple hop (TH) test and the six-meter timed hop (STH) test. The eccentric hip abductor, adductor, lateral rotator and medial rotator as well as the knee flexor and extensor torques/body weight were measured using an isokinetic dynamometer. After 8 weeks, the TG showed a decrease in maximum excursion to knee abduction (p= 0.009) and in maximum excursion to hip adduction (p<0.001), as well as in the excursion to hip adduction at 75º of knee flexion (p=0.002). Moreover, the TG significantly increased the values obtained in the TH test (p=0.05) and significantly decreased those obtained in the STH test (p<0.001) after intervention. However, there was no significant change on hip and knee eccentric torques. Thus, eight weeks of PT were effective to improve hip and knee kinematics and functional performance of women in hop tests. However this was apparently not an effective method to promote strengthening of the hip and knee muscles when used alone

The Sociology of Science, presently also known by the Social Studies of Science and Technology, with theoretical and methodological inheritance from the Sociology of Knowledge, debates subjects about the nature of scientific activity and the relationship and interactions between science, technology and society. In this way this research centers on mapping the field of Sociology of Science by its scientific production, as a way to display its trajectory and reflect on its institutionalization as a field of knowledge. The studies about the analysis of scientific production can be included in the field of Sociology of Science and be made ever more frequent. The motivation to investigate this theme is justified by the fact that after the coming of the Internet a variety of different knowledge bases of scientific articles were available online which made much easier the process of data collection and also the treatment of the same. In light of this, the studies of the analysis of scientific production become ever more recurrent. Confronting this reality the research objective of this research was created as to investigate how the field of Sociology of Science configures itself from its scientific production represented by the data base Scopus. The objectives of study were: a) identify and analyze the scientific production on the field of Sociology of Science up from the articles indexed in the database Scopus; b) to understand how the field of Sociology of Science is internationally build, by constructing bibliometric indicators of scientific production like themes in the scope, published journals, authorship, temporal, institutional and geographic distribution of the articles. On the methodological point of view the research is supported on the bibliometric approach and the achieved results shows that a) the field of Sociology of Science follows a parallel growth with the field of Social Studies of Science and Technology; b) the Network Actor Theory is the methodology with the greatest representation in the field, with a growth rate, followed by Ethnographic studies. This exponential growth on the Network Actor Theory is the points to the existence of a trend by other fields in its use; c) around 40% of articles were written in collaboration.

Currently in the medical field there is a large amount of unstructured information (i.e., in textual format). Regarding the large volume of data, it makes it impossible for doctors and specialists to analyze manually all the relevant literature, which requires techniques for automatically analyze the documents. In order to identify relevant information, as well as to structure and store them into a database and to enable future discovery of significant relationships, in this paper we propose a paragraph-based process to extract treatments from scientific papers in the biomedical domain. The hypothesis is that the initial search for sentences that have terms of complication improves the identification and extraction of terms of treatment. This happens because treatments mainly occur in the same sentence of a complication, or in nearby sentences in the same paragraph. Our methodology employs three approaches for information extraction: machine learning-based approach, for classifying sentences of interest that will have terms to be extracted; dictionary-based approach, which uses terms validated by an expert in the field; and rule-based approach. The methodology was validated as proof of concept, using papers from the biomedical domain, specifically, papers related to Sickle Cell Anemia disease. The proof of concept was performed in the classification of sentences and identification of relevant terms. The value obtained in the classification accuracy of sentences was 79% for the classifier of complication and 71% for the classifier of treatment. These values are consistent with the results obtained from the combination of the machine learning algorithm Support Vector Machine with the filter Noise Removal and Balancing of Classes. In the identification of relevant terms, the results of our methodology showed higher F-measure percentage (42%) compared to the manual classification (31%) and to the partial process, i.e., without using the classifier of complication (36%). Even with low percentage of recall, there was no impact observed on the extraction process, and, in addition, we were able to validate the hypothesis considered in this work. In other words, it was possible to obtain 100% of recall for different terms, thus not impacting the extraction process, and further the working hypothesis of this study was proven.

The literature about Production Strategy proposes that the production function should be considered as a strategic asset and as a competitive weapon. The Production Strategy adopted in the company resulting from the implementation of improvement programs, and they may provide advances in targeted competitive dimensions. However, many times and for various reasons, the implemented programs do not generate the expected results. In this work seeks to identify and characterize the Production Strategy of a large metallurgical company and discuss whether there is alignment between improvement programs that have been deployed as part of the Lean Production system and the Competitive Priorities of production as perceived by some of his managers. The survey information for this case study was done through interviews with some managers, analysis of company documents and direct observation at the factory. The discussion on the possible alignment also involved an investigation of compatibility between the actions drivers and improvement projects and set priorities Competitive considered crucial to the organization. The study indicates that improvement programs implemented with the Lean Production system have involved almost exclusively infrastructural decision areas and were not always oriented to the production s Competitive Priorities perceived by managers. Thus, we can not say that the Lean Production system that is being implemented by the company fully meets the Production Strategy that managers want to adopt. Improvements in the relationship between PE and PE could be achieved in the company if the improvement actions drivers were clearly defined in a decision process that counted with the participation of senior management, and the actions and tools implemented would focus Criteria Competitive desired by the organization.

Given the economic dimension of the sugar and ethanol industry, there is a strong concern regarding the loss of social welfare due to market power usage by ethanol companies, especially at retail, where conditions are favorable to cooperation. The present study's objective is to determine if there is any market power abuse in retail sales of hydrous ethanol in the State of São Paulo, by verifying if price increases and decreases are transmitted to the customer proportionally, and identifying if there is any difference in price transmission mechanisms between smaller (where competition is less) and larger tows. Monthly wholesale and retail price series are used, provided by ANP, for the period of January 2005 to August 2011, for a sample of cities in the state of São Paulo. The results indicated that market power was used in the ethanol retail market, where retailers were able to transmit to the consumers price increases faster than decreases.

In years 2000, stimulated for the Strategy Health of the Family and for the governmental investments in its had emerged ascending reflections on the Primary Health Care. In this context, the objective work to know the politics, the actions and the nets in health destined to the people with deficiency and people with mental suffering, in the city São Carlos, SP, are problem of the study in the scope of the Primary Health Care. As methodology resource it was used documentary analysis, specifically reports of the municipal conferences of health and the municipal plan of health, and interview half structuralized with civic, professional managers of health, such as: occupational therapists, physiotherapists and nutritionist, beyond users of the services, people with deficiency or people with mental suffering. One searched to portray the local context, weaveeing connections with the context of the Brazilian public politics, in the attempt to foment dialogues with realities of other cities of average Brazilian transport. 24 interviews, being 06 with managers, 12 with health professionals had been carried through (05 physiotherapists, 06 occupational therapists, 01 nutritionist), 06 with users of the services (03 people with deficiency and 03 people with mental suffering). The results show to a change in construction in the paradigm of the attention in health of the city, directed to the model of monitoring in health with qualification proposals of the Primary Health Care , centered in the Strategy Health of the Family, aiming at to the formation and joint of a Net School of Cares to the Health. However, the inexistence of politics and specific municipal lines of direction of care for the people with deficiency and the people with mental suffering, delicate the care in health destined for such populations. The Primary Health Care in São Carlos intention to be directed for the integral care, however, this speech, and the approach in the actions of promotion and prevention of health, determines not the priorities of actions come back toward specific and complex demands as those of the people with deficiency and the people with mental suffering. Specifically with regard to the occupational therapists, the data present that the initial actions of these professionals, just-inserted in the Primary Health Care, are come back in its majority toward the mental health, however also notice action next to other populations. These professionals act in the with Primary Health Care proposals of promotion of health, shelter and action of whitewashing. This professional in the becomes essential, that, commits itself to the problems and the concrete necessities of the population of each territory and to the social paper of its performance. He concludes yourself that in the scene placed for the Politics of Basic Attention in Brazil, its institutionalization convokes the construction of new plans of care in health and constants theoretical reflections to base the actions techniques, specifically come back toward not traditionally received populations in this scope.

This present research has the central aims of understanding the educational processes which have developed in a practice of social games that has Indigenous and African origin, or ancestry in the context of an intervention at Physical Education classes, with the student (s) of the fourth year s Public Elementary School located at the city of São Carlos (SP). Hoping somehow to enable and assist in compliance with the Brazilian Law number 10.639/2003 that required the teaching of History and Afro-Brazilian and African Culture, and also Brazilian Law number 11.645/2008 which included Native Cultures and History in Basic Education. We understand Physical Education as well as other curriculum components of basic education can and should include the teaching of History and Afro-Brazilian Culture, Indigenous and African culture enabling appreciation and recognition of Brazilian ethnic and racial diversity. This research development has a qualitative approach with phenomenological approach seeking to understand the phenomenon starting with the gaming experience shared in the intervention. Based on records of field diaries we believe that constant dialogue between educators and students, from the practice of social games that has Indigenous and African origin, or ancestry conducted during Physical Education classes provided the construction of educational processes related to appreciation, knowledge and recognition about Indigenous and African culture encouraging people involved to present their knowledge, discoveries, questions, and curiosities.

The objective of this research is to learn about the peasant women s level of understanding about health and identify their common healthcare practices, as well as their process to transfer knowledge. This study is based on the theory of Popular Education and Popular Education and Health. It adopts an amplified conception of health, which includes its social dimensions, healthcare and popular practices. It is attached to the context of the peasant women s fight for settlements, which has also been theoretically and conceptually investigated in this study. The methodological reference adopted was the participant observation, which promotes the realization of interactive activities that combines social investigation, educational work and action. Twelve female settlers from Monte Alegre settlement, State of São Paulo, were interviewed. Data was collected in the period between April 2010 and July 2011. Fifteen visits were made to the settlement, where participatory observations were made and transferred to field notes subsequently, as well as two interviews and one meeting organized by the female settlers to plan the next group conversation between the women. In order to realize the field work, a careful insertion was made in the community s workplace, in the bakery, where the women of the Women Association of Monte Alegre VI was approached. This period of relationship and sharing was fundamental for the study, because during meetings and working hours, a closest relationship to the women was developed, which favored a positive trustworthy atmosphere to the realization of interviews to satisfy the central theme around the women s comprehension of health, their personal experiences, the care practices utilized by them and its related educational process. The following data was separated for further analysis and discussion: 1) ALL OF THAT IS HEALTH and 2) THE CARE TO HEALTH AS SOCIAL PRACTICE. The data analysis shows that the women s conception of health is a combination of health and society, and takes in consideration biological, psychic, emotional aspects of health, as well as socio-economic. The data points to health care practices: the multiprofessional assistance offered by health services, the production and utilization of homemade medication, the partnership, the dialogue, the active listening and the social mobilizations. It was found that agrarian work and gender oppression were aspects that influenced the female peasant s health practices. The educational processes related to health care practices are the ones found in familiar, professional, communitarian relationship as well as the ones available through different medias and past social movement s experiences. The female settlers make themselves aware of health care issues through dialogue, researching books and magazines, studying, consulting with professionals and by learning from the attempting of diverse practices. Consequently, the peasant women are able to assess the best practices of health care, and maintain the process of knowledge transfer, based on which past social experiences are considered more adequate. Educational processes are also present during the preparation of women and men for agrarian work, as well as work division based on gender.

The influence of toxic aluminum (Al) on root development and absorption of water and nutrients has been identified as a major cause of low productivity of many soils. The theoretical and experimental study on the tolerance of varieties of sugarcane to adverse conditions of extreme acidity and, especially, high Al saturation, is still inconclusive The objectives of this study were: to develop and propose an experimental protocol for the study tolerance of varieties of sugarcane to Al in solution and to study the sensitivity of nine varieties of sugarcane (RB928064, RB966928, RB937570, RB855156, RB855453, RB935744, RB867515, RB925345, SP813250) to Al stress solution through a series of analyzes: (a) review the allocation of the Al at the tip roots, (b) observation of the root apices and (c) root growth; identify the main changes in the root; identify the critical dose to the Al root growth and identify the most efficient method for the classification of varieties on the Al in solution. The experiment was conducted in laboratory conditions in a completely randomized design with three replications. After the germination period, the mini-stalks of sugarcane were acclimated in tanks with nutrient solution. After six days, the mini-cuttings were transferred to containers with nutrient solution and increasing doses of Al (0, 130, 380, 500, 800, 1000, 1400, 2000, 3000 and 4000 μmol L -¹), where they remained for six days and subsequently were removed for analyzes. The development of the experimental protocol was efficient for the evaluation of tolerance and its main factors were germination method, selecting the range of Al concentration in solution and the methods of tolerance assessment. The varieties differed in Al tolerance according to the analyzes. The main changes of the tip root were mucilage production, loss of epidermal cells of the root cap and its disintegration, and brown staining of root tips. The root elongation rate (TAR) depended on the interaction between variety and concentration of Al, and, for the varieties studied, the critical value ranged from 130 to 3000 μmol L-¹. The TAR method was considered more efficient to evaluate the tolerance of varieties of sugarcane to Al in solution and in accordance with this method the varieties were classified as tolerance in the following order: RB928064 > RB935744 > RB855453 = RB966928 > RB925345 = RB867515 > SP813250 > RB855156 > RB937570.

In this work, we intend to investigate the guidance forms to other s discourse considering the news genre of discourse in the field of brazilian mainstream press. The introduction of the paradigm of objectivity, inserted in the 1950 years, was very important in the history of this sphere of activity. This paradigm has represented major structural changes in the composition of the news text and especially about the reported speech which, since then, it has become a privileged material to be articulated with the pretense of exempting journalistic discourse of any assessment about the fact reported. In the Brazilian press, the introduction of the paradigm of objectivity took place under some historical, economic and political context which required of the mainstream press self-assertion. In addition, the introduction of this paradigm also has occurred in a time when the technological conditions allow the reproduction of the photograph on a large scale. Thus the photographic image, supported by scientificist conceptions of mechanical objectivity, was added as a significant element to support values espoused under the paradigm of objectivity, also conditioning the practices of production and consumption of news. Based on these consideration, we intended to investigate the relationship established with the reported discourse, formed by the semiotic interaction of verbal and photography signs in the news genre of discourse. To accomplish this work, we sought support mainly in the bakhtinian Philosophy of Language, and specific theoretical and historic works about press and photojournalism. In addition, as support for our understandings, it was also considered some studies that deal specifically with photographic image. In order to operate our study, we selected a set of texts of editorship Cotidiano of the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. In the analysis it was observed a peculiar trend for the use of syntactic forms of indirect speech and direct speech which correspond to the ideological refraction from the paradigm of objectivity. We also understand distinct forms of positioning of the photographic image in relationship with the some else discourse, which may emphasize or reduce the assessments of this kind of discourse, change its truth value, strengthen it or weaken it in the social hierarchy of values, justify or condemn it morally, scientifically and pragmatically, etc.
