The aim was to investigate if there is association between occupational roles, independence, purchasing power, age, time of disability and technology in the lives of people with physical disabilities living in the city of São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. For this, we attempted to compare if there was a variation in the number of occupational roles in the three times (past/present/future), according to gender and among two groups (adults and elderly), to describe the performance patterns of occupational roles (absence, continuum, loss, gain); identify which are assistive technology resources that these individuals have and how did the acquisition of these technologies, usability and abandonment; identify the knowledge about the subject of granting policies of technologies. From a cross-sectional research, with a convenience sample, we selected 91 subjects, aged from 18 to 93 years, enrolled in Family Health Care Units, with some physical disability. The sample was divided in two groups: adults (n = 34) and elderly (n = 57) to compare the results between them. The instruments of data collection were the Role Checklist, the Modified Barthel Index, the Brazil Economic Classification Criterion and a form developed by the researcher. For data analysis we used a quantitative approach composed by descriptive analysis, ANOVA with repeated measures and Correspondence Analysis. As an outcomes, we found that the participants showed a considerable repertoire of technologies, mostly acquired with their own funds or donations. Much of these technologies could be granted by the grant program of the Federal Government, however, the list of technologies identified in this study suggests that these individuals also make use, as well as other technologies require not covered by the grant program. It was observed a trend toward reliance on subject, and this trend follows a higher order of dependence to total independence. For assistive technology, it was observed that the classes with smaller number of technology classes were related to independent and in greater numbers, with some dependency classes. With regard to the purchasing power it was noted that the classes C1 and D were more associated with less dependence, since the classes B1, B2 and C2 to a moderate dependence and class A2, besides with low frequency and little explanation, coupled with a reliance on more high. It should be noted that although the technology was not directly associated with the independence, the latter was associated with a greater number of occupational roles, which requires a look at the issues of independence, when considering the typology of occupational roles and how this independence moves between roles in the daily life of these participants. From the data obtained, some implications are done in order to increase actions developed in the health care of people with disabilities and the improvement of public policies for this population.

The concern and interest in ensuring the adequate nutritional supply for plant cane and ratoon cane, and even for propagation seedlings, has been quite evident. However, there is little information on the supply of nutrients in the different stages of the sugarcane breeding, especially during sowing and individualization of seedlings and the initial acclimatization of seedlings in the nursery and field conditions of phase T1. The understanding of these effects can guarantee the full development of the seedlings, in order to avoid masking and the elimination of some genotype of high productive potential. The general objective of this work was to study the influence of nutrient supply by nutrient solution on the development of seedlings in the initial phase of the selection process of sugarcane genotypes adopted by PMGCA-UFSCar. The specific objectives were: (a) to evaluate the effects of frequency of application and concentration of nutrient solution on biometric parameters of development of sugarcane seedlings; and (b) obtain subsidies to suggest seedlings fertigation as a routine practice. Sugarcane seeds originating from biparental crossings RB925211 x RB855463, SP803280 x RB855536 and RB935744 x RB72454 were used. The seedlings were individualized in containers with vermiculite to compose the treatments, arranged according to a completely randomized design, under controlled greenhouse conditions for three months, with a 3x3x3 factorial scheme, using 12 replicates per treatment. The frequency of application (1, 2 and 3 times a week) and the concentration of the nutrient solution (calculated - C, half C / 2 and double 2C) were tested on seedlings grown in vermiculite, with the substrate Multiplant®, used in routine of the PMGCA-UFSCar, as a reference. The low rate of sugarcane seeds germination and the early death of seedlings could not be attributed to the temperature fluctuations registered in the greenhouse. The germination of sugarcane seeds was more homogeneous under germination chamber conditions, with a photoperiod of 12 h and a temperature of 30 °C. In the first month after harvesting, seedlings kept in the Multiplant® substrate showed the highest growth in height and mild copper (Cu) deficiency, with no visual symptoms. In the period of 30-60 days after growing, seedlings grown on the Multiplant® substrate showed nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) deficiency, showing visual symptoms only for S, characterized by chlorotic young leaves with reddish-purple edges. In this period, the application of nutrient solution three times a week, at a concentration equivalent to two times the calculated concentration, constituted the most appropriate treatment for the crosses studied. In the third month after harvesting, seedlings of the Multiplant® substrate continued to be deficient in N and S. The application of nutrient solution twice a week, at a concentration equivalent to two times the calculated concentration (2x2C), was the most appropriate treatment for the studied crosses, in the period of 60-90 days after the breeding. The application of a nutrient solution with a concentration equivalent to two times the calculated one, twice a week, represented the most appropriate treatment to be incorporated as a fertigation routine for seedlings from the crossings covered in this study.

In this dissertation we quantified properties that may better describe the mechanical behaviour of different glasses and glass-ceramics of the Na2O-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system, based on the Biosilicate®chemical composition developed by LaMaV-UFSCar, after implantation in the human body. We tried to analyse variables such as n (the stress-corrosion susceptibility coefficient, derived from subcritical crack growth experiments), K0 (KI0, KSCC or Kth, the threshold stress intensity factor below which no subcritical crack growth occ-curs), and to characterize the R-Curve (the increase in fracture toughness as the cracks increase in length). The experimental methods utilized are beased on the materials response to Vickers indentation, whether by following the crack length, statistically analyzing the number of nucleated cracks or breaking indented samples on four point bending testing. These techniques pose the great advantage of being very economic in respect of time needed to prepare the samples and in respect of the number of samples used. The experimental results were, whenever possible, compared with literature data and their validity broadly discussed. From the experimental data its possible to conclude that the tested methods do not generate valid and coherent results concerning the materials and conditions tested, contributing to the con side of a discussion very present on the literature.

In scientific studies, using measuring instruments it is necessary to observe issues of reliability, validity and standardization of results. In the national literature, the Brazilian version of the Social Support Appraisals (SSA) is the only instrument available for studies of Cross-cultural translation, specific for the assessment of social support for children and adolescents. The objectives of this study: 1 - Assess the reliability and construct validity of the Brazilian version of the Social Support Appraisals 2 - Establish regulatory standards of the Brazilian version of the SSA for children and adolescents aged between nine and 18. The specific objectives were: a) to assess the social support perceived by children and adolescents aged between nine and 18 years, b) to investigate the sources encompassed by Other subscale, and c) to evaluate the socio-emotional development of participants aged between 11 and 18 years. The study group was comprised of 766 children and adolescent aged between nine and 18 years who are high and elementary students of eleven public schools in three cities in the state of Sao Paulo. To collect data we used the Identification Form, the Brazilian version of the SSA and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results of factor analysis indicated five factors with a structure in which single items were found in the factor F5. Therefore, the respective items were excluded and analyzes were made after considering the 23 remaining items of the Brazilian version of the SSA. The internal consistency index alpha was equal to 0.89 for the total scale, .83 for subscale family, friends 0.80, 0.80 and 0.77 other teachers. Divergent validity was found between the SSA and the SDQ has been partially satisfactory, because there were negative correlations between the subscales of both instruments. Regulatory standards have been established through the criterion Intragrupo. The specific objectives encompassed a) the family was the main source of support perceived b) respond to the items of the Other subscale participants indicated in their majority, who think of their family members and friends, c) where there was clinical prevalence of conduct problems and emotional symptoms. It is considered that this study allows us to offer the Brazilian version of the SSA for use in future research in order to continue the research on social support and associations with variables related to the development of children and adolescents and their family background . Also, this research brings advances in knowledge about the role of social support in the development and health.

The notion of life occupies a special place in Bergson s philosophy. However, far from being univocal, the meaning of this term shows different significations throughout his thought. A decisive change of this concept can be identified in the passage that leads us from the Time and free will to Matter and memory. More specifically, it seems that Bergson offers a new philosophical program in the last chapter of the book of 1896 which is radicalized in 1907 in a way even more surprising. If in a first moment, with the intend to separate space from duration, the French thinker reserves to the biological and empirical dimension of life a character almost completely spacializing and pragmatic , in Creative evolution this dimension will be identified, in a certain sense, to the idea of duration itself, chiefly because of the arrival of a controversial concept, the vital impulse (élan vital). But what takes Bergson to this inflection? We understand that the beginning of this turn and the reasons that take him to produce that change are resulting from two exigencies, related with each other: the first one, directly related to the evidence of the evolutionary theory (Lamarck, Darwin and Spencer) and the necessity of thinking it with the hypothesis of the duration; the second one, tied more specifically to Bergson s thought itself, is concerned to the cohesion that gives to his philosophy a unity of meaning. In other terms: in extending the hypothesis of duration to the material reality in Matter and memory, wouldn t Bergson be forced to amplify his understanding of the organic and the inorganic and, therefore, of life itself? But how can we attribute, at the same time, specificity to the living being, since it now coincides with matter? Can we identify in this point the creative aspect of evolution, the vital impulse (élan vital)? How is it possible to think, within those questions, the indiscernibility between theory of knowledge and theory of life , as it is proposed in Creative evolution? It is in relation to these problems that we try to circumscribe our research.

In Brazil, many data indicate the school difficulties found by the students, mainly in the public teaching. The analysis of the motivational factors has shown a promising alternative to the understanding of the low academic achievement. Motivation can be understood as a variety of psychological processes that lead to a choice, stimulate and begin a behavior directed toward a goal, which guarantee the permanence on it. Researches have focused the effects of the students motivation for reading on the academic achievement. This study focused on the characterization of students eleven dimensions of the motivation for reading. Among the dimensions intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for reading, self-efficacy and social aspects were included. Important aspects related to the students to understand the low engagement in reading activities for a considerable amount of Brazilian students were examined. The proposal is based on the founds between the relation of the students reading motivation quality and their involvement with the reading. The descriptive study searched to: 1) characterize the dimensions of motivation for reading (self-efficacy, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and social proposals) of a group of 6th grade students in function of their reading achievement, of the gender and the location of the school attended by the students; 2) identify if there s difference in the motivation for reading among the students with low media and high grades in reading, between boys and girls and between the students attending different schools located in the central area and in the suburbs of a medium city. 119 students participated of this study, 61 were from the central school which 25 were boys and 36 were girls and 58 from the suburb school which 33 were boys and 25 were girls, the average age of the participants was 10 years and 7 months old. Were used as instruments: one scale to evaluate the dimensions for reading composed by 54 items developed to measure each dimension for reading Motivation Reading Questionnaire - and the students grades in reading on the first school semester of 2011. To analyze the data, statistics tests were done. They detected that the motivation for reading is multidimensional. The results of this present study corroborate the discoveries of the literature of reading motivation that points out difference between boys and girls, among students with different academic achievement and also difference between the students from the different schools location. The girls, the students from the central school and the students with medium and high academic achievement showed motivation reading aspects more positive related to boys, than students with low academic achievement and the students attending the suburb school.

Throughout modern history the deficiency has been described mainly by the medical knowledge. In this paper we propose to investigate the importance of theory toward understanding the cited phenomenon on other bases than the accepted hegemonic, for this, we assumed that only a movement led by a revolutionary theory can effectively exercise the role of combatant lead. The development cited to materialize mainly through a process of dive on the writings of the London group called Disability Studies, representative current of a movement that can be seen as an inflection point on the historically dominant knowledge in dealing with disabilities, based on explanatory concepts from the field of sociology. Our work will be focused on this literature , aiming to compose a scenario which presents the historical development of this movement, as well as some of its limitations and possibilities to be explored. By materializing a theoretical search process, this work constitutes primarily as a literary composition (involving review, seizure, analysis, explanation and creation of literature), with the guidelines the historical materialism theory, though it does not materialize a Marxist work strict sense. Prior to submission of detailed theoretical corpus, we conducted a methodological process by state of the art on the dissertations and theses produced on (post-)graduate programs accredited by CAPES in fields related to sociological science (Sociology, Social Sciences, Anthropology and Political Science) between 1990 and 2010, mister universe by which Londoners develop their relations on disability. After collecting these data we found empirically that almost nothing was written about disability in the sociological fields. In 5691 texts of sociology cataloged only 10 (0.18%) dealt directly on disability. These data do not show significant changes when we compared the texts produced in the Graduate Program in Anthropology and Political Science. In anthropology, 1893 works were produced, and only 5 (0.26%) of these papers have disability as the main object of study, the same number found in Political Science in a universe of 1211 theses and dissertations. Of the 20 works found in a universe of 8798, only two made sporadic references to the London group. Thus, the deficiency still seems primarily as a medical phenomenon, a pre-sociological issue, not worthy of note to be represented as a matter of research in the sciences that make use of social analysis. In this sense, a question inevitably tends to be made: How to develop emancipatory policies for people with disabilities if the benchmark it leaves is inextricably linked to disability as a condition of dependency? Policies and practices need to be libertarian concepts and epistemologies also libertarian. But such concepts exist and seeking to appropriate the same we did a real scan magazine articles published in Disability & Society, the most important journal in the existing sociological analysis of disability. From June 1986 to July 2011 the magazine published 1487 articles, all in English, although produced by authors from more than 30 countries. Of these, 383 were read in full, which allowed us to compose the lines of this work, having as a foundational assumption the idea that disability is a product of social oppression inserted over the differences expressed by the body of his subjects, so, it is created by the intrinsic insensitivity of the environment in which we operate. From the literature review indicated themes were extracted to analyze the contributions and limits of social approach to disability and the urgent need ownership of their constructs. We conclude that the deficiency to be a category created shown capable of overcoming, whose objective conditions are given in the interstice of capitalist sociality, though never effected due to the structurally exclusive composition that features this system. Having all the means to overcome this oppressive condition that involves people with disabilities and does not exceed it is a phenomenon that highlights so nuclear forms the split between essence and existence, hence the need in fighting against these alienations, which reduces human beings the simple desire to have, the role of mere objects, thus, dispossessed or pruned sharply as the subjective capacity for self-determination, the choice of destination and the means of its attainment. The aforementioned struggle will succeed only when that full coincidence of changing circumstances and the transformation of consciousness, hallmark of any revolutionary act. Revolution, therefore, that never ceased to be the transformation of economic, political and cultural structures, linked by awareness the truths and prohibitions of the system that oppresses us. Only to discover their real interests can actually propose to overcome them. Precisely at the intersection of these elements, the thought of Marx's arises such as philosophy unsurpassed in our time because of its critical and emancipatory property; the dialectical unity between the study of capital and call for its overthrow, the analysis of alienation and fetishism by which we are involved and proposals for the disposal of all the conditions within which a man is to be reduced, abandoned, mutilated, despised. We need to bring Marxism to the analytical field of disability, that is our commitment and the universe with which the reader will encounter now.

Aspect-Oriented programming was created to modularize the so-called crosscutting concerns . Crosscutting concerns have some properties that cannot be fully modularized with the object-oriented paradigm. After that, aspect-oriented frameworks were created in order to make reuse of different concern codes easier. Among these frameworks, Crosscutting Frameworks are aspect-oriented frameworks specifically created for crosscutting concern code modularization, for instance, persistence, distribution, concurrency and business rules. Currently, these frameworks are usually distributed as source code and must be reused by extending classes, aspects and methods. Reusing these frameworks in code-level require application developers to worry about implementation issues, that affects understandability, productivity and quality of final software. In this thesis, the objective is to raise abstraction level by applying a new model-driven approach for crosscutting framework reuse, which also allows reusability during earlier development phases. Experiments were conducted in order to compare the productivity of the proposed process with the conventional reuse technique, which is based on source-code edition. It was identified that the proposed process has advantages during the reuse activity, however, no advantages were detected while maintaining an application coupled to a crosscutting framework.

Land use changes have resulted in large environmental impacts, and in agricultural landscapes sometimes only forest fragments remain. However, riparian forest remnants can influence positively stream water quality, and serve as refuge to aquatic species sensible to deforestation. We evaluated if the presence of a riparian forest remnant influences the structure and composition of macroinvertebrate communities in a rural stream in southeastern Brazil. We sampled three reaches upstream (within abandoned sugarcane cultivation), one at the edge and nine downstream the remnant edge, until 600 m inside the forested area, using leaf litter bags. The abundances of Elmidae, Chironomidae, and total macroinvertebrates increased along the forest remnant, whereas the abundance of Baetidae, proportion of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT), EPT/Chironomidae ratio, and taxon richness and diversity decreased. EPT taxon richness and abundance did not vary along the forest remnant. Reaches upstream the remnant have herbs and grasses that increased microhabitat availability and, consequently, the diversity and taxon richness in this degraded areas. Increases in abundances of Chironomidae and total macroinvertebrates within the forested area can be related to moderate increases in nutrient concentrations or availability of high quality leaf litter patches. Forest remnants can influence macroinvertebrate communities, although variation in their responses can be related to local agricultural practices and land use at the watershed scale. Forest fragments are important in maintaining water quality in agricultural landscapes, deserving special attention in watershed management projects and more commitment from the authorities to comply with environmental laws, aiming to protect and recover permanent preservation areas (PPA) in irregular situation.

This study, entitled, "Africas: educational processes present in ―Terno de Congada Chapéus de Fitas‖ seeks to identify and understand the educational processes that are own of olders and youngers` participation in Terno de Congada Chapéus de Fitas, located in the city of Olympia-SP. These objectives are guided by the following research question: What learn from each other youngers and olders practitioners of Congada? Theoretical references which explains the ways and understandings in this research are located in a sociopolitical context: the African World - Africa and the Diaspora - and Latin America, not excluding the possibility of dialogue with other world views and perspectives, such as indigenous, European and Asian matrix. Theoretical discussions addressing insights and understandings about: social practices and educational processes; contributions to understanding the culture - the culture of African origin - interculturality, identity and ethnic-racial belonging, education of African origin, and its consequences on learning-teachinglearning -teaching as an ongoing process of educating themselves and educating between people. This study was conducted through a qualitative research approach, adopting the comprehensive observation and in-depth and individual conversations as methodological procedures, organized and analyzed with the phenomenology principles. The analysis and interpretation of data were made in the form of comprehensive description, revealing the educational processes that involve the faith, devotion, strength, respect for the older, family, inspiration, strength, identity, sense of belonging, joy, spirituality, the experience of the sacred, the collaborative partnership, ways to resist and survive the hardships, discrimination and prejudices, learning and teaching between older and younger that are useful as ways of living and living in the Congada and in the society. Therefore, the social practice of Congada not only celebrates the sacred, ancestral, but also teaches to celebrate life.

Stimulus equivalence literature has shown robust data, but with some result variability between participants, with some forming classes promptly and others who do not demonstrate the expected class formation. Matching to sample (MTS) is the commonly used procedure to verify these relationships formation. However, a situation involving experimental MTS is rather complex regarding the number of potential relationships, so that the participant can form classes based on different equivalence relations that those manipulated by the experimenter. For example, responses that are counted as instances of the same relationship may include different control topographies, some responses controlled by relations of selection (when control of the participant's response is given "selecting" the correct stimulus in the presence of a particular model) while others are controlled by rejection (when there is a "rejection" of a incorrect stimulus in the presence of a particular model). One possibility to check and monitor the different control relations during the baseline training is to use special procedures to induce and identify it. One of these procedures is the blank procedure in which a black square is gradually introduced over attempts conditional discrimination baseline so as to occlude participant s sight of it. This way, separately topographies of selection and rejection can be checked, as well as differences in the formation of equivalence relations. AB, BC and CD relations trainings were programmed, each set with three different stimuli (eg: A1, A2 and A3; B1, B2 and B3, etc.). Control only for rejection or only by selection in baseline training conditional relations BC were planned in one of the trainings, and results compared with another training in which all relations were taught either by selection or by rejection. Other parametric variations (nodal distance increase and extensive pre-training role in positive equivalence results using the mask) were also investigated to advance understanding of the variables that may be related to the equivalence formation. The results indicate that learning BC relationship with only one control relation is not sufficient for the equivalence classes ready formation. These are not guaranteed even if only selecting topographies are learned. Have the whole training - ensuring that the participant learns the relations either by rejection or by selection - assures equivalence formation in much more training opportunities. The results indicated that the extensive pre-training was useful to install some prerequisites behaviors required in the task pairing. Participants who passed the pre-training before starting the experiment were partially successful in achieving the criteria for baseline conditional relations learning training, but the generalized conditional responding did not occur as readily as expected, although it seems to have occurred faster for participants who had gone through extensive pre-training.

This study represents a theoretical and empirical research on the possible interferences of the productive sector of biofuels on the towns and small producers on the surrounding area of operation of the industries. Objective: analyze the socioeconomic dynamics and form of expansion of urban land in the city of Lins, in the period 2000 to 2010, correlated with the growth of the biofuels sector in its surroundings. Method: survey data on the region of Lins and 13 municipalities in the Escritório de Desenvolvimento Rural de Lins (EDR-Lins), during the ten years delimited. Preparation of use and expansion of land by georreferenced mapping built with the assistance of imagens originated by Landsat 5 sensor TM, bands 3, 4 e 5, scene 221/75, collected between 2000 and 2010, provided by the Image Catalog belonging to Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), confronted with images produced by SPRING 5.1.18 (property of INPE) and SIG CTGEO (property of Centro de Tecnologia em Geoprocessamento CTGEO) software. Statistical correlation of regional development indicators taken from the Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IFDM) and production of raw material extracted from the data of the Instituto Econômico Agrícola de São Paulo (IEA) of the EDR-Lins. Results: Contrary to expectation, the results failed to indicate a significant correlation between the implementation and performance of biofuel and/or biodiesel factories and municipal development, whether in relation to territorial expansion, whether in relation to socioeconomic variability. Wages paid to workers in the sugarcane sector, day laborer and monthly employee, and administrators were about 280% to 300% below the increase in production, which shows a possible concentration of income in executive and owners of power plants. In the delimited period, while there was an increase of 130% of the production of cane sugar, there was an increase of only 20% of the IFDM. When considering the specific indicators of the evolution of the population with the specific indicators of the evolution of production of cane sugar has obtained a moderate correlation, but that can t be attributed solely to the expansion of biofuel in the region. Conclusion: growth of the biofuels sector in the municipality of Lins did not produce whole supposed positive effects expected on the pattern and organization of the life of the resident population; neither added a significant improvement in municipal rates of the cities that integrate the EDR-Lins, such as income and population employed. Overall, the results show that the Law 11.097/2005 hasn t achieved one of its main goals, which is the promotion of quality of life of small producers dedicated to the cultivation of oil plants.

The plant biomass is a large-scale available resource and one of its more important applications is the second-generation ethanol production. However, the enzyme cost is one of the biggest barriers for economically viable ethanol from biomass. Therefore, it is important to identify fungal strains that can produce high concentrations of plant biomass-degrading enzymes. The aim of this work was to clone, study the gene expression and characterize the plant biomass-degrading transcript set of the filamentous fungus Trichoderma harzianum IOC-3844. A total of 1,543 highquality reads from the Trichoderma harzianum IOC-3844 cellulose induced cDNA library were organized into 1,002 transcripts representing 167 contigs and 835 singlets. Of these 1,002 transcripts 646 had unknown functions and 356 showed associated functions. Among the transcripts with associated functions, we found 20 transcripts related to plant biomass deconstruction. The real time PCR analysis of Trichoderma harzianum IOC-3844 mycelia grown for 36 and 60 hours in cellulose, revealed that the levels of the following mRNAs were induced by at least 2,000-fold when compared to uninduced mycelia: cbh1, cbh2, egl1, egl2, egl3, egl7 and swo1. In some cases, the values were higher than 100,000-fold. Among the transcripts analyzed by real time PCR, cbh1, cbh2 and egl7 exhibited the highest expression levels. The Trichoderma harzianum IOC-3844 exhibited a repertoire with high expression of plant biomassdegrading transcripts.

In this work we have studied the evolution of primordial gravitational waves coupled to anisotropic stress tensor of cosmological neutrinos. As in a radiation dominated universe, in a universe dominated by radiation and matter the neutrinos can work as an effective dispersive medium for the gravitational waves, besides introduce small modifications over the tensor contribution to the cosmological microwave background anisotropy. Our results are obtained in a radiation-matter transition scenario (RMD), so that we contemplate modes that cross the horizon in the radiation era and matter era. Using the evolution variable kη, it was possible to write our solutions independent from the frequency of the wave. Our results ratify that CT l die out after l ∼ 100 with small modifications on the quadrupole term, CT 2 , due to the coupling to neutrinos and the inclusion of collision terms into the dynamical equations.

Leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and malaria are neglected parasitic diseases responsible for high mortality in tropical low-income countries. Due to the lack of vaccines and of safe, effective and affordable treatments, there is an urgent need to reinforce the existing therapeutic arsenal against these diseases. Many potential drugs have been investigated for these diseases, including ruthenium complexes. Ruthenium complexes are very appreciated in medicinal chemistry due to the tendency to be selective to bind biomolecules, which partly accounts for the low toxicity. Thus, in this work were synthesized and characterized ruthenium complexes with ligands that have antiparasitic activity recognized as lapachol and chloroquine diphosphate, bioactive ligands such as nitric oxide and amino acids. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis techniques, absorption spectroscopy ultraviolet visible, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance 31P {1H}, 13C, 1H and COSY, paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.The complexes showed promising results against diseases evaluated (malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and tuberculosis) showing that coordination leads to the synthesis of complexes most active against the parasites and less toxicity in healthy cells.

Over time, the business grossed airport beyond its traditional functions, such as transporting passengers and cargo, commercial functions, with the inclusion of shopping malls, cinemas, food courts, among others. Thus, several developments aids such as logistics companies, car rental, travel agencies and even residential neighborhoods, occupied in a disordered manner the airport surroundings, causing adverse impacts to their neighborhood. Aiming to remedy this and other undesirable consequences of development at any cost, which prevailed in recent decades, there was Law Project 181/89, which led the Estatuto da Cidade. Sanctioned in 2001, the Estatuto represented a major breakthrough with regard to planning and urban development, bringing an instrument to help assess environmental impacts at local level: the Impact of Neighborhood, which is designed the housing projects, institutional or commercial for which there is no requirement for the studies. This paper proposes a methodological framework for prediction, assessment and evaluation of impacts due to construction and operation of enterprises that make up the production chain airport, considering the neighborhood impacts arising from the implementation and operation of the Airport of Sao Paulo-Congonhas, which do not considered in environmental impact studies. At first, a literature review was conducted to understand the specifics of the study area, passing by the physicals, socials and economics attributes. This process was followed by field work, where photographic records were made, the identification of the production chain linked to the airport and the main impacts that it causes the local neighborhood. Then the collected data were used to compose cartographic representations, showing areas of occurrence for each impact raised, and the participation of each sector that makes up the production chain in the generation of such impacts. 8 After performing the above-mentioned procedures, it was concluded that the most significant impacts to the neighborhood were vehicles parked on uneven areas (such as sidewalks, vacant properties and on traffic routes) and the generation of noise, from the production structure, the mass circulation of vehicles and the airport itself. Among the groups of enterprises studied, it was observed that companies facing the logistics industry (cargo) and the airlines appear as the most striking, being the main generators of both the impacts described above, giving worse quality of life of local people.

Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, while androgens are strong positive regulators of muscle growth and strength. Follistatin (FS) is a nonrelated protein which inhibits MSTN action. The mechanisms of androgens actions are not fully elucidated and evidences suggest that MSTN and testosterone muscle actions may be associated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of exercise training in the expression of MSTN and FS of orquidectomized rats submitted to exercise. Adult male Wistar rats were housed under controlled conditions (20-220 C, 12h light-dark cycle) and were allowed free access to standard rodent chow. After 3 days of acclimation, rats were orchidectomized (O) or shamoperated (S). One group of animals was maintained intact (I). After 1 week, animals were randomly assigned to a training group (O-Train, S-Train and I-Train) or a sedentary group (O-Sed, S-Sed and I-Sed). An 8-week resistance-training period, during which the animals climbed a 1.1-m vertical ladder with weights attached to their tails, was realized. The sessions were performed three times a week, with 4-9 climbs and 8-12 dynamic movements per climb, that were increased the wheight for each climb, and new maximum weight was obtained for new session.The training lasted eight weeks. After this period, rats were decapitated. White gastrocnemius muscle were dissected, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -700 C for subsequent analysis. MSTN and FS mRNA was quantified by real time RT-PCR. The animals were maintained according to the local University Committee guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. MSTN mRNA expression was significantly higher in gastrocnemius muscle of O-Sed group than in I-Sed group. FS mRNA expression was significantly lower in S-Train and O-Train groups than in I-Sed and I-Train groups. The results indicate that MSTN expression increases in skeletal muscle of orchidectomized rats and is not influenced by resistance training. FS mRNA can to be influenced for resistance training and other hormones or proteins.

Zinc selenide (ZnSe) is a semiconductor material, which band gap is about 2.7 eV. It has many applications as blue light emission diode, data storage devices, laser diodes and waveguides optical fibers. Despite these several applications, ZnSe, generally, is synthesized in organic solvents, such as: trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), hexadecylamine (HDA) or octadecene (ODE). These synthetic methods are carried out at high temperatures, about 250oC. Moreover, being synthesized in organic media makes these nanoparticles unable to be dispersed in aqueous systems, and consequently, they are unable to be applied in biological media, unless some post preparative procedure is applied. In view those shortcomings, in this work, ZnSe was synthesized in aqueous media, having ZnCl2 as zinc source, NaHSe, as selenium source, which was synthesized from reduction of elemental selenium by sodium borohydride (NaBH4), and L-cisteine as capping agent. Initially, a 22 factorial design was applied. Temperature and pH were the factors studied in this factorial design, aiming to determine the influence of these factors on crystallographic coherence dominium calculated through Scherrer equation. Despite synthesis in aqueous media applies lower temperatures (90 oC), it has some disadvantages, for instance, the generation of some byproducts. Among these byproducts are: trigonal or amorphous elemental selenium and L-cistine, however, sometimes, these compounds can not be tracked through x-ray diffraction (XRD), since they are either amorphous or are below the detection limit of this technique. In this sense, Raman spectroscopy plays an important role in this work, since it is able to track these byproducts in a range of some months. Finally, a simple decantation process was carried out in order to separate these byproducts in different aliquots.
