In this work we consider a new estimator proposed by Ferrari & Yang (2010), called the maximum Lq-likelihood estimator (MLqE), to estimate the parameters of the measurement error models, in particular, the structural model. The new estimator extends the classical maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and its based on the minimization, by means of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, of the discrepancy between a distribuiton in a family and one that modifies the true distribution by the degree of distortion q. Depending on the choice of q, the transformed distribution can diminish or emphasize the role of extreme observations, unlike the ML method that equally weights each observation. For small and moderate sample sizes, the MLqE can trade bias for precision, causing a reduction of the mean square error (MSE). The structural model has the characteristic of non-identifiability. For this reason, we must make assumptions on the parameters to overcome the non-identifiability. We perform a analytical study and a simulation study to compare MLqE and MLE. To gauge performance of the estimators, we compute measures of overall performance, bias, standard deviation, standard error, MSE, probability of coverage and length of confidence intervals.

The theme of this research is scientific communication - especially that of scientific events - considered from the perspective of a scientific community in particular. The theoretical framework is anchored in social studies of science, assuming the assumptions of the sociology of science - in particular the views of "academic science" and "post-academic science" on the scientific community - and scientific communication coming from the Information Science. The research question can be expressed in the following question: what is the meaning that events take science to the scientific community UFSCar according to the different areas and contexts of production and post-academic science academic? This question led to the following hypothesis: the areas of knowledge have different communication patterns of knowledge and these are determined by the specific fields of scientific and production contexts of science. The research aimed to understand the meaning of the scientific community UFSCar attaches to scientific events in different contexts of production of science and specific objectives: a) describe the profile of the scientific community UFSCar composed of researchers from different fields of knowledge; b) analyze the vision of researchers about the meaning of scientific events. From the methodological point of view, this is an exploratory - descriptive study with explanatory features. The approach of the problem is quantitative and qualitative. The target population for the survey consisted of 324 rechearchers, selected from a stratified random sample of an initial universe of 906 UFSCar s teachers until July 2010. The instruments of data collection were the questionnaire online and scriptLattes computational tool used to collect the scientific production of the participants. The empirical data of the survey were categorized and analyzed under the lights of Sociology of Science and Information Science. Because this was an exploratory study, statistical analysis consisted of descriptive study with use of numerical tables and averages. Indicators of scientific production (2008-2010) were subjected to scientometric and bibliometric analysis. The research concludes with a set of results that demonstrate specific features of different areas of knowledge of UFSCar compared the patterns of scientific communication - in particular scientific events, and also highlights specific features of the scientific modes of knowledge production "academic" and "post-academic science".

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a strength exercise protocol on articular cartilage in animal model of osteoarthritis (OA). Thirty-six rats were divided in 6 groups: Control (C, n = 6), Osteoarthritis (OA, n = 6), Sham (S, n = 6), Control with exercise (E n = 6), Osteoarthritis with exercise (OAE, n = 6) and Sham with exercise (SE, n = 6). The animal model of osteoarthritis was anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) in rats. After 2 weeks of ACLT, groups E, OAE and SE started the strength exercise protocol, three times a week for 8 weeks. We used the Mankin Histologic Grading System, measured the density of chondrocytes, the density of collagen fibers and the expression of collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate and fibronectin. The groups subjected to strength exercise protocol, OAE and SE, had lower values for the Mankin score, chondrocyte density and fibronectin expression and higher values for collagen fibers density, type II collagen expression and chondroitin sulfate expression when compared with OA and S, respectively. Group E was different from group C only in chondrocyte density and fibronectin expression. Therefore, strength exercise changes the content and expression of different articular cartilage constituent, having influence on our animal model of osteoarthritis and provides benefits to the cartilaginous tissue.

Background:The isokinetic dynamometer has been considered the gold standard evaluation to measure muscle performance. However, the reliability for passive mode forchildren has not beenreported yet. The purpose was to evaluate the reliability of isokinetic dynamometer in passive mode for children. Methods:Thirteen children (six girls, seven boys), aged 5 to 12 years(age: 9+2years), were evaluated using a Biodex III dynamometer. Each participant was tested twice at an interval of 1 week andperformed five consecutive cycles of knee extension and flexion. The test was performed at 60°/s in the concentric passive mode. The measured variables were average peak torque,averagetotal work,average powerand average time to peak torque. Reliabilities were determined using intraclasscorrelation coefficient(ICC), the standard error of measurement (SEM and SEM%), the coefficient of variation (CV) and Bland-Altman analysis.Findings:It was found good reliability for average peak torque, total work and power, with ICC values greater than 0.86;SEM and SEM% values ranging from 1.54to 407.1and from 5.7% to 8.1%; and CV lower than 15.However, average time to peak torque was not reliable since ICC was 0.16, SEM 0.16, SEM% 35,5% and CV 35. Interpretation:The findings indicate that isokinetic evaluation in passive mode for children without disabilities was reliable for average peak torque, work and power; thereforeit should be considered in rehabilitation protocols.However, a learning process seems to influence variables related to time of contraction, such as average time to peak torque.

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the heart rate variability (HRV) of individuals with Type 2 diabetes, in the supine and in response to active postural maneuver from the supine to orthostatic position, by means of linear and non linear analysis and correlate these data. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sixteen men with type 2 diabetes (DM) and sixteen control subjects (CG), age-range from 40 to 65 year were studied. The R-R intervals were recorded with a Polar RS800CX for 10 minutes in supine and 10 minutes in the orthostatic position. We assessed HRV using spectral (LFnu, HFnu and LF/HF), symbolic (0V%, 1V%, 2LV% and 2ULV%) analysis, Shannon (SE) and conditional entropy (complexity Index - CI and Normalized Complexity Index- NCI). RESULTS The DM presented higher sympathetic modulation (LFnu) in the supine position than the CG. In active postural maneuver for the variables LFnu and HFnu, DM showed no significant responses. Irrespective of position DM presented lower complexity than CG for SE. The same did not occur with conditional entropy, however, in both groups a reduction in values of entropies was observed with postural change. The reduction in complexity observed by SE was related to an increase in sympathetic modulation (0V%). CONCLUSION Our study showed that DM had higher sympathetic modulation in the supine position, which may be related to less complexity of HRV in this population. In addition, DM did not present the expected response of the autonomic nervous system to active postural maneuver for the variables LFnu and HFnu.

Changes in river basins such as the deforestation of riparian vegetation, the expansion of agricultural activities and construction of dams, are examples of anthropogenic interference, which interferes with the diversity of aquatic insects in streams and rivers. This study aimed to investigate the distribution patterns of communities of aquatic insects in a longitudinal profile of the Ribeirão Anhumas, discontinued by the construction of five impoundments and the influence of different land uses. Sampling occurred in the river basin of the Ribeirão Anhumas in an area upstream and downstream of the five dams, on the towards headstream/mouth of the creek. We analyzed the concentration of potentially bioavailable metals (Fe, Mg, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd and Cr) in sediment. For the sampling effort fauna, the quick sampler method was used for a period of two minutes. Specimens were identified to lowest possible taxonomic level and classified by feeding groups. The highest concentrations of metals in the sediment were recorded in parts of the dam 4 (R4), which is observed around sugar cane farming, the analysis indicated contamination by Ni. 2498 aquatic insects were identified, wich distributed in 92 genera. Polypedilum (Chironomidae, Diptera) was the taxon more representative of the community, as well as the guilds of the predators and gathering-colectors. The stretches with preserved riparian vegetation had the highest values of richness, taxonomic diversity and water quality score. The Student statistical test indicated that there were no significant differences in the abundance and richness between the streches. Diversity indices showed a decrease in diversity between the upstream and downstream sections, and longitudinal profile. We concluded that the basin of the Ribeirão Anhumas is well preserved, where there was no interference from lotic habitat discontinuity of the dams, as well as different land uses low-impact exercise on aquatic insect community.

The sugarcane weevil, Sphenophorus levis, is an insect that feeds on the rhizome of sugarcane in its larval stage, boring channels that cause damage and death to the plant. Conventional methods of insect control have not been efficient. The aim of the present study was to generate knowledge on the biology of this insect on the molecular level using a transcriptomic approach to determine potential targets genes for the engineering of insect-resistant plants. After sequence processing and assembly using the dCAS program, 3804 sequences were grouped into 201 contigs and 1363 singlets, which were manually annotated. Several plant cell wall degrading enzymes were identified, including pectinases and cellulases. An invertasecontaining contig was identified for the first time in a coleopteran. Total probable digestive enzymes accounted for 19.3% and unknown genes accounted for 28.8% of the total number of expressed sequence tags. Considering the predominance of cathepsin L enzymes among the digestive enzymes found in the transcriptome (54.3%) and their importance to the breakdown of proteins in the insect digestive process, a cDNA clone encoding a cathepsin L enzyme, denominated Sl-CathL, was chosen for recombinant expression in Pichia pastoris cells, characterization and in vitro inhibition by the sugarcane cystatin CaneCPI-4 (Ki = 0.196 nM). Immunolocalization assays demonstrated the production of Sl-CathL in the midgut epithelium and secretion into the gut lumen from vesicles containing the enzyme. S. levis demonstrated sensitivity in triggering RNA interference machinery induced by dsRNA injections in the body cavity and gene-specific knockdown was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Larvae injected with V-ATPase E dsRNA died within three weeks after injection and serpin 1-silenced larvae either exhibited delayed development, arresting in the pupal stage, or died as pharate adults. In conclusion, transcriptome analyses, together with the inhibition of the main digestive enzyme by Cane-CPI-4 and gene silencing using RNAi, are promising procedures for the development of transgenic sugarcane plants to enhance resistance to Sphenophorus levis.

Metalloporphyrins and metalophthalocyanines assemblies have attracted in the last few decades. The syntheses of face to face systems containing porphyrins or phthalocyanines can found in literature, however few works reported these arrangements in mixed systems. A new system composed by cobaltophthalocyanine (CoPc) and cobaltotetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) assembled in a face to face arrangement by using a rigid and conjugate ligand, like pyrazine (pyz), may result in a new material with interesting properties. Recently, in our laboratory, a new synthetic route for mixed complexes like CoPc(pyz)CoTPP(pyz)CoPc and CoTPP(pyz)CoPc(pyz)CoTPP was developed. Nevertheless, the possibility of an increase in the chain has not been investigated. This work aimed the investigation of a synthesis of heteropentamers formed by metaloporphyrins and metalophthalocyanines complexes, relating their properties with precursor s complexes. The heteropentamers synthesis was carried out using the same methodology described for heterotriads. It was synthesized the follow sequences of heteropentamers: CoPc(pyz)CoTPP(pyz)CoPc(pyz)CoTPP(pyz)CoPc 2, CoTPP(pyz)CoPc(pyz)CoTPP(pyz)CoPc(pyz)CoTPP 1 and 2. For each synthesis, two fractions were obtained and isolated. The characterization was carried out by vibrational spectroscopy, Uv-vis spectroscopy, thermal analyses and solubility tests. The vibrational spectra showed the coordination of the macrocycles to the pyrazine terminal ligands on the adducts. This was also observed by thermogravimetry analysis. By the thermal analysis was also possible to verify differences in binding between the terminal pyrazines and the internal pyrazine ligands. The electronic spectra of heteropentamers showed chacacteristic bands of each macrocycle, however were observed shifts in the absorption bands of phthalocyanines and porphyrins in the heteropentamers fractions.

Comfort is a subject matter that is gaining relevance in the aviation industry, taking into consideration the necessity of the manufactures, as well as the airlines, in differentiating themselves in a market far more competitive. Nevertheless, comfort is a subjective experience, affected by many factors (psychological, physical and physiological) and a reaction of the environment. Therefore the case studies about the theme highlight a difficulty to analyze all the variable that interfere in the perception of comfort and discomfort, mainly when it comes to aircraft cabins. The general objective of this case study was to identify the variables related to comfort and discomfort in airplane cabins, through the passengers analysis of the activity in use situations, in order to develop a model for the assessment of comfort and discomfort. The case study was undertaken in 36 Brazilian airports and during 40 segments in corporate domestic flights, and the data collection adopted were: 377 questionnaires in airports and 291 in-flight questionnaires, 44 postures records and actions and also 12 semi-structured interviews. The data collected through the questionnaire were statistically analyzed and the ones obtained by systematic observations were analyzed and reinstated in the participants selfconfrontation interviews. One verified that the passengers most frequent activities are: feeding (91,1%), resting and sleeping (82,3%), reading, writing and working (80,5%), entertaining activities (56,1%), as well as, going to the toilet (54,8%). Out of those activities, the one which is harder for the passengers is resting and sleeping (74,6). From the analysis of the difficulties regarding every single activity, one verified that the variables related to space, as leg-room, personal area, as well as, the physical space for the movement of the body are the critical variable mentioned by the passengers. The crew service and also the entertainment on board were considered as well once they can produce comfort. One of the results of this case-study was the proposal of a methodology that led to envelops of postures with the calculation of the passengers area in use during their action, which can be a useful tool in the process of aircraft cabins project when making possible the calculation of the space for the action with base in the rebuilt course. In relation to the model of comfort and discomfort, a proposal was elaborated having the passengers action as a mediator. The proposed model parts from the premise that comfort and discomfort should be considered as two dimensions separated from experience, that feature different determinants (Zhang et al., 1996) and that the activity, in particular, the possibility and/or impossibility of acting, is in a mediator element between comfort and discomfort, being able to interfere in that relationship. From this case study have been developed one conceptual model and a methodology to analyze the comfort- the activity analysis is the main element of the model. Besides that, the database created in this study can be considered one tool to be use by the engineers, while they can use during the development of the project, in order to generate knowledge to the user.

With the implementation of public policies on school inclusion, the number of students with Special Educational Needs increases in the ordinary classrooms. This fact helps to compose a scene in the schools that have displayed the limitations and contradictions of our educational system. Educational actors and authors are challenged to make available and build knowledge capable of responding to the demands of the daily school related to the coexistence and learning in the diversity. Whereas this process of school inclusion is new in the schools and the psychology has a field of knowledge and performance that specifically itself devote to work in the school institution, it is asked: What do the context emerge the teachers demands resulting from the school inclusion? What are those demands and which can they be answered by the School Psychologist? Which contributions can the School Psychologist offer in the perspective of creating inclusive schools? The aims of the study were: to analyze the immediate context where the teachers demands emerge referring to school inclusion; to identify demands of teachers resulting from the school inclusion; to identify demands which can be answered by the School Psychologist; to point out perspectives to performance of psychologist along with the teachers in view the school inclusion. The research is based on a qualitative approach of investigative kind. The participants were: six students with Special Educational Needs and their teachers. The technique of participant observation, field diary, semi-structured interview, and questionnaire were used to the collection data. The results indicate that there are achievements and contradictions in the reality of the schools that are inclusive, advances and limitations resulting from Municipal policy and that the model of performance of the team of special education in the context analyzed can be reconsidered or enlarged. Before this fact, the teachers show demands in the field of action from Public Policy, from the Training, and from demands towards the Psychologist. The psychologist s contributions are going to be essential to answer or remean both the demands towards him, and to help facing the challenges put by inclusion policy and by the constant formation of the teachers, specially that formation which comprises: the critical evaluation of official purpose; the development of social skills, including the collaborative work along with parents and keepers; the construction of critical conceptions about the differences; the building of the collective practices of engagement to prejudices and discriminative attitudes; the study of theories of learning and development emphasizing the mediative possibilities of the teachers in this process. To answer those demands and support the s schooling of the students with Special Educational Needs it is necessary that the psychologist knows the policy and the subjects of special education in order to qualify their formative interventions and their pattern of action can be the collaborative consultation.

The composition and concentration of microorganisms are extremely important components to demonstrate the level of hygiene in hospital operating rooms. The information from these strategies can be developed to maintain a biologically safe hospital environment by eliminating the focus of contact and transmission, and thus preventing nosocomial infections that cause a considerable increase in length of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality and thus helping to increase hospital costs, delays the recovery of patients and higher public spending. Another factor is the association of bully resistant microorganisms in hospital infections. Given the importance of the theme of contamination NI Microbial resistance and because there are few studies in Brazil where it may be noted the degree of microbial contamination on surfaces (table medication, surgical table, marble countertops and air conditioning grilles) of an operating room of a medium-sized hospital, the present study was conducted to quantify and identify bacteria and fungi these surfaces and assess the resistance profile to some antimicrobials of bacterial isolates. Samples were collected with the aid of a swab soaked in sterile peptone water and rubbed into quadrants of 20 cm2 surface under study. Hafnia alvei was detected (2,9%), Pseudomonas spp. (4,3%), Shigella spp. (4,3%), Staphylococcus aureus (5,7%), Staphylococcus coagulase-negative (5,71%), Staphylococcus spp. (50,0%) e Bacillus spp (12,9%). All strains of S. aureus showed sensitivity and resistance to Penicillin G, Amoxicillin and Oxacilina. Given this information from contamination of the surfaces studied, presents measures to minimize these contaminants in order to provide or improve the welfare of the occupants of such environments with the implementation of practices and standards based upon current legislation, minimizing the problems that may occur with the health of both employees and users of outpatient services and hospital.

This research seeks a deepening of existing discussions with adolescents in conflict with the law and to reveal the way they signify Socio-educational Measures of Assisted Freedom and Community Service. The purpose of this study is to describe, analyze and comprehend the socio-educational measures in open environment, probation and provision of community services in the perspective of adolescents in conflict with the law, in the Socio-educational Program in Open Environment (Programa de Medidas Socioeducativas em Meio Aberto), in São Carlos city, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The qualitative study, an observant participation, intends to establish an interaction between the researcher and the research participants and it assumes that participating in the context with the collaborators is essential to understand the studied phenomenon. The field visits to the canvas painting workshop called Expressarte: Arte em Liberdade were performed weekly, in March and June 2011. By observing and taking notes of the workshops, I could understand the meaning that adolescents attribute to the Program of Socio-educational Measures. Only by taking a role in the group and participating in daily activities I could experience the context in which adolescents are part from their perspective, seeking to better understand relevant aspects of this educational experience. By using different resources such as informal conversations, participant observation and document analysis, the data collection allowed the data triangulation. From the data analysis organized in field diaries emerged some foci of analysis: socio-educational measures in an open environment, the Expressarte workshop and the professionalization, which were analyzed by the Freire, Fiori and Dussel s concepts of education. The purpose was to understand the possibilities of people educate themselves in different social practices and the meaning of the socio-educational system for adolescents in conflict with the law. The deepening of the analysis of collected data in this research will constitute the object of further studies and it will produce discussions that contribute to the process of reflection on the importance of educational measures, analyzed from the perspective of adolescents in conflict with the law.

In this work it was done a comparative study on the reactivity of a variety of dienophiles including para-benzoquinones, their mono-oximes, their N-tosyl mono-oximes and their N-tosylimines on the Diels-Alder reactions with simple dienes. The synthesis of the dienophiles was performed through chemical modifications from the corresponding phenols as represented in Scheme I. The studies of the reactivity of these dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reactions with cyclopentadiene were the first to be conducted and furnished the corresponding cycloadducts as shown in the Scheme II. The reactivity of the N-tosylimines para-benzoquinones were tested on the Diels-Alder reactions with of the dienes 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene and 2-methyl- 1,3-butadiene (isoprene) (Scheme III). Concomitant to the experimental study on the reactivity of the dienophiles, it was done a study of theoretical calculations where was obtained the differences between the energies of the HOMO orbital of the cyclopentadiene and LUMO orbitals of the dienophiles confirming their reactivity. These calculations were performed using the DFT calculation using the basis set B3LYP/6-31 + G (d,p) and furnished the energies of the transition states of the cycloadducts. It was also possible to predict which cycloaddition product would be mainly formed and to determine what are the kinetic and thermodynamic products. Tests of the biological activity of the dienophiles were conducted in collaboration with Professor Dr: Damião P. de Sousa from UFSE.

The objective of this study was to understand the psychological and cultural meanings of health professionals of Primary Health Care (PHC) on the issue of women in situations of domestic violence served by them including their uncertainties and difficulties. We tried to interpret the views of these professionals, or their ideas, perceptions and concepts with which they work. The research consisted of Basic Health Units (BHU) of a municipality in the state of Sao Paulo. This is a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews, which contents were analyzed for their utterances expressed during these interviews. We tried to close the final number of participants for sampling by empirical and theoretical saturation. In other words, utterances (corresponding to the empirical data "raw") were analyzed, interview by interview, and were organized into categories formulated in accordance with the theoretical view of the researchers, the interruption of data collection occurred when the empirical data did not support anymore the formulation of new analytical categories and also no longer contributed to the deepening of the categories set out above, in the judgment of the researchers. The results are the 14 subjects that after transcribed, correspond to a corpus of 42,336 words. Respondents comprise a relatively heterogeneous group, with regard to trained professionals (nurses, nursing assistant, nurse, doctors, dentists and pharmacists). For each of the pre-made categories, which were translated into the proposed topics to the participants, were formulated analytical categories: themes or types of statements related to the problems surrounding the issue of women in violent situations (understanding of the phenomenon), emerged in these three Categories: About the violence, risk factors, gender issues. In pre-category themes or types of statements related to the first reception and care for women victims of violence were raised three categories: APS and violence against women, Dynamics of the reception and first aid, Notification. In the themes or types of statements related to other procedures to be undertaken in the APS and women in situations of violence fell into two categories: secondary and tertiary preventive measures and Prevention.

This research has as its main aim a rural school in Araraquara, São Paulo. Since 2002, this city has a program named Rural School Program that covers three public schools: one in a county named Bueno de Andrada, another one in a rural settlement named Bela Vista and the last one in settlement, the Monte Alegre . The field research happened in the last school, at Monte Alegre . This program keeps working, once it was covered in the Municipal Plan of Education for the decade 2004-2013. When we entered into the Rural Primary School Maria de Lourdes da Silva Prado, we had the aim to discover if the education offered there is a real rural education or if is just an education in the rural area. For this, we ve realized some interviews, with the coordinator, teachers and workers. We ve tried to discover if for these people the education in this school is different or not of the one that is offered in the urban schools. We also tried to understand what this group think about rural education and how some of them believe that this should happen. We ve used some questionnaires with the students, to see if they think there s a difference between the rural school, where they study, and the school in the city, and also about the advantages and disadvantages that these students see in a rural school. What we realized is that even the Rural School Program keeps operating, it s not working as it should, since that in these ten years there re lots of changes in its elaboration. A lot of these changes are inside the municipal education secretary and others are inside the rural schools.

This research aimed to understand how prostitutes are educated in the practice of prostitution. This research is developed with the aim of transforming absences in presence, that is, seeking to understand the experiences of this social group that historically has been impelled to invisibility by the hegemonic order. For to think of education through experience and understand the prostitute in the movement of its existence, we use the theoretical contributions of popular education and phenomenology that strengthened the understanding that the process of educating themselves not only through effective intellection, but it is also true of perception and sensitivity. The phenomenon has been focused on the research is process of educating themselves on the night by women engaged in prostitution in nightclubs in São Carlos / SP. To grasp this phenomenon we used the following instruments: the field approach, coexistence, conversations with prostitutes, observation and field notes. The analysis of research is result of dialogue and coexistence with prostitutes and unveiled that through the availability, distrust and resistance, these women develop different educacional processes, such to facing adversity, weaving bonds of cooperation and solidarity, dealing with diversity, breaking gender conventions, make choices and implement actions to meet their needs, to get fancy, among others. There is much to learn with the prostitutes, but for this it is necessary to surround the phenomenon of prostitution and strip off of stereotypes. Only then can we realize that educating yourself in the night appears as praxis to transform reality, to reveal the prostitutes on the move in search to be more. Refuting the position of the victim these women create and experience new ways of being / living / work and reinvent the world, so the story.
