Given closed connected surfaces X and Y, integers n > 0 and d > 2, and for i = 1,..., n partitions (dy)j=i,...,mi of d. The 5-tuple (X, Y, n, d, (dij)) is called the branch datum of a candidate branched covering. Many works discuss when a given branch datum can be realized by a branched covering / : X > Y of degree d, with n branching points and local degree in the pre-images of branching points given by dij. Hurwitz has established an algebraic equivalence to this geometric problem, this equivalence has been used to treat the subject. In this dissertation we define dessin d'enfant, a graph on the surface X, related to a branched covering and use this tool to obtain conditions for a given branch datum be exceptional (i.e. can not be realized). We also define an alternative and more explicit version for the definition of dessin d'enfant.

This study deals with a research proposal and intervention that aimed to: develop, implement and evaluate a distance teacher training program on Inclusive Education. To that, it started with the following research question: What are the limits and possibilities of a distance continuing training program in education by the Internet to teachers of the early years of elementary school? The basis of the investigation was continuing education program for teachers entitled "Diversity in school: reflecting on pedagogical practices in inclusive classrooms ", developed through Portal dos Professores - UFSCar MOODLE platform. The whole program was online and it was aimed at elementary school teachers who work in early years, live all over the country, and had signed up spontaneously in the Teachers' Portal. Our study is suitable for a methodological form of research that focuses on collaborative research between researchers and teachers, recognizing that teachers get the knowledge from their practices and they know that is very important to link this knowledge with the one produced in academic circles. Our investigation, therefore, contemplates the purposes of collaborative action from a model of research and intervention called constructive - collaborative. Taking the narrative as the main form of data collection, data from this research were obtained from 16 teachers who participated during five months of the training process. After this study, we consider that the use of distance learning (EaD) by Internet is an important and interesting training resource. However, in order to it be actually an efficient way of training, some factors should be seen as the issue of self-government and discipline for studies that are very required when there is the participation in a program of distance education by Internet. These are essential skills for the student to take advantage of the program. So, it s important that programs adopt tools that provide moments of interaction among the participants themselves and between them and the teacher or tutor. The number of students per tutor, or teacher is another aspect to be observed because it affects the quality of the course. If there is a large number of participants, it is difficult to the monitor analyzes and observes the participation and learning of all of them. Observed these aspects, we believe in distance education by internet as an effective means of training, first because it keeps people who live in different places and away from the training place closer to each other and the course can be done at any time they want. Second, the web offers resources that can break a formation based on the simple transmission of content and the idea of passive learning.
Habilidades sociais e de enfrentamento de estresse em cuidadoras que assistem idosas acamadas, com ou sem demência

According to the authors of a meta-analysis based on 127 studies reporting the effects of interventions conducted with caregivers of an elderly person with dementia, efforts to help these eldercare providers appear to have been largely ineffective in strengthening the caregivers and in reducing their sense of burden. However, improvements in the caregivers abilities to handle their eldercare involvements were not evaluated. As such, the objectives of this study included: (a) identify abilities that may be important for someone who cares for an elderly person who has dementia, focusing on the use of social skills (SS) and coping skills (CS), (b) investigate the relationships among SS and CS, and perceived burden and relationship quality, and (c) identify the caregivers unmet needs. Participants included 20 elder-caregiver dyads (women only); all the elders were bedridden and highly dependent. Their caregivers were in one of two situations: caregivers of bedridden elders with normal cognitive functioning (GL; n = 10), or caregivers of bedridden elders with dementia (GD; n = 10). During individual interviews conducted in their own home, the caregivers responded to a reduced version of the Social Skills Inventory, a reduced version of the Ways of Coping Checklist, the Family Needs Evaluation, the Caregiver Burden Interview, and the Dyadic Relationship Scale. The frequency with which the caregivers used different kinds of SS and CS was compared using Student s t-test for groups of items, and non-parametric tests for individual items. Pearson s bivariate correlation procedure was used to examine the relationships between the frequency with which the caregivers used SS and CS, and their perceptions of burden and of the quality of the relationship between themselves and their elderly relative. In addition, the number of caregivers in each context who expressed needs for assistance was compared using Chisquared analyses. It was observed that the caregivers in the GD and GL were highly similar with respect to the quality of the relationship between the caregiver and the elderly care recipient, but the GD caregivers reported higher levels of burden. With respect to their use of SS and CS, the caregivers in each context presented more similarities than differences, but there were a few differences between the two groups. A greater frequency of use of these skills was associated with lower levels of relationship conflict, and with lower levels of burden. In terms of their needs, a greater proportion of the GD than the GL caregivers indicated that they needed more assistance from others and greater access to community-based services. In sum, based on a comparison between female caregivers assisting bedridden elderly relatives who were either lucid or who had dementia, it was possible to detect certain differences that arise among those who care for an elderly relative with dementia, along with many similarities between these two contexts, which can guide the development and evaluation of new interventions.
