Among the set of actions instituted by the federal government is the Program Implementation Meeting Resources Multifunction (PI-MRM) that aims to support the public school systems in the organization and delivery of the Educational Service Specialist (ESS) to target students in special education (SSE). Through the PI-MRM were distributing resource materials, furniture and equipment, computer systems and networks for education. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze how the guidelines of PIMRM has been translated by a municipal school system in the interior, from the organization and delivery of ESS, under three aspects: service, training and evaluation. The design based on collaborative research involved the development of a training process and investigative next twenty-five special education teachers (SET) who worked in MRM and three SET that comprised the management team of inclusive education, in a town in state of São Paulo. To operate this process, we used a systematic collaboration with the participants through four procedural steps: First Step - Characterization of the Implementation of MRM, Second Step - Survey of the descriptions of the three axes that guide this research (service, training and evaluation), Third Step - Development of training topics defendants; Fourth Step - Clash of the content and directions of Reconstruction. Os resultados indicaram que no sistema municipal participante da pesquisa: a matrícula do aluno PAEE em sala comum foi respaldada pelo apoio do AEE em SRM e foi ampliada continuamente; no decorrer da implantação do AEE em SRM, houve diferentes níveis de traduções, que foram realizados pelas PEE, junto aos demais profissionais da educação, e que resultaram na implantação do PI-SRM de forma diferenciada em cada realidade escolar. The results indicated that the municipal research participant: the enrollment of the student common room in SEE was supported by ESS in support of MRM and was expanded continuously, during the implementation of the ESS in MRM, there were different levels of translations, which were performed by SET, together with other education professionals, and which resulted in the deployment of PI-MRM differently in each school reality. The seizure of the translations of the policy with regard to PI-MRM resulted in obtaining information that showed that the translations occurred at different levels (municipal, teachers, schools) specifically when taking as parameter the propositions of PI-MRM. It was found that the documents and legal advisors comprising the municipal policy, to provide a basis despite the higher laws of the country, not contemplated in its legal apparatus PI-MRM guidelines. It was evident that the conduct of the training was also conducted for the SET. However, each has a distinct need SET, given the demands of their work and the realities of professional development that meet.

The nursing staff performs procedures, which often involve the handling of sharpened material, which offers risk of exposure to biological material. The frequency of these procedures in psychiatric hospitals has not been quantified, nor the risks that professionals are exposed. To avoid accidents, the adoption of Standard Precautions (SP) is necessary. The Hand Hygiene (HH) is an important strategy for prevention and control of Infections Related to Health Care (IRHC). This was an exploratory and crosssectional study, quantitative in nature, with the purpose of identifying the biological risk situations that nursing professionals in care are exposed are subject, performed in a psychiatric hospital of the interior of state of São Paulo, Brazil. We observed 830 nursing procedures, wich 40.6% offer moderate to high risk of biological exposure. The quantitative of biological high-risk procedures was not significant, however, the unexpected situations that arise during the care of these patients, intensify this exposure. Became evident an accident with sharpened material and various situations and behaviors that exposes professional to the risk, for example, the improper handling and disposal of sharpened material and non-adherence to the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The HH was below recommended, with an adhesion rate of 0.96%. In some situations was observed low compliance with good practices of prevention and control of IRHC, especially the indiscriminate and inappropriate use of gloves. Was noticed that the adhesion to SP was strongly influenced by individual, labor and organizational factors. Significant difference was observed between the professions of nursing and nursing assistant, and the latter showed low levels of training and low perceived availability of PPE, contributing negatively to adherence to preventive action. It was evident that the support offered by the institution to the professionals did not improve the adoption of the SP, making the organizational factors one of most relevant. It is necessary that institutions provide safe working conditions and continued training to nursing staff, contributing to the advance in the control of IRHC and in adherence to standard precautions. It was concluded that the professional nursing staff are exposed to biological risk and that this research was the first nationally and internationally on this topic in a psychiatric institution. The fact that the results portray the reality of this hospital can be considered a limitation of this study, however contributed to the expansion of knowledge about biological risk, control of IRHC and adherence to SP in psychiatric hospitals. Thus, it is expected to encourage further research in other institutions and mental health services that might contribute to achieving safer assistance for professionals and care for patients with psychiatric disorders.

Composite is a material composed mainly of two phases, the matrix which is continuous and surrounds the other phase, which is called the dispersed phase or stage reinforcement. Nanocomposites are obtained by incorporating reinforcing agent in nanosize in matrices of various origins. The properties of these materials depend on the whiskers, the polymer matrix and the interaction at the interface. Interest in cellulose nanocrystals has grown due to exceptional mechanical characteristics of these materials, the environmental benefits and the low cost. The greatest difficulty in producing them is due to the lack of compatibility with polymer matrices, because the matrices typically exhibit hydrophobic character as opposed to the hydrophilic character of the whiskers, with low interaction in the region of the interface material properties are negatively affected . Among the existing polymer matrix is cellulose acetate polymer which is a cellulose derivative. For the use of whiskers in a matrix of ethyl cellulose, a change in the nanocrystal surface of cellulose using Dianidrido benzofenona tetracarboxílico ou 3,3 ,4,4 (BTDA) was performed. The main objective of this work was to prepare and characterize nanocomposites consisting of cellulose acetate reinforced with whiskers (with and without chemical modification of the surface). It was possible to characterize chemical, thermal and morphologically fibers (young and senescent) of crude and bleached macrophyte Typha domingensis, like whiskers that were extracted from the central parts (young and senescent) of this macrophyte, and it was also possible to characterize acetate films cellulose (mother) and nanocomposites reinforced with whiskers (with and without surface modification). Of all the films prepared, this project allowed select the best property that had mechanics that the nanocomposite was 1.1% - whiskers (senescent) with surface modification and ultrasound, its tensile strength showed an improvement of 66.26% compared to cellulose acetate film.

This work studied ultrathin films of titanium oxide were deposited on two substrates, such as pure Si (100) and glass corning 7059, by using r.f. magnetron sputtering with different oxygen flows and maintaining another parameters constant. For the purpose of this work, while keeping all parameters constant, varying only the oxygen flow (reactive gas), it was expected to identify the flow of transition between films of substoichiometric TiOx and TiO2 films, and analyze whether there forming nanostructured TiO2 films because the literature shows that variation of control parameters important characteristics of the nanoparticles as medium sized fraction of coverage of the substrate crystal structure and stoichiometry. The chemistries of the ultrathin films were analyzed through technique of Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), the surface morphology by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), the crystallinity by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the optical properties by UV-vis Spectroscopy. Were deposited ultrathin films with substoichiometric compositions for depositions with 0.10% O2 and 0.35% O2. For depositions between 0.67% O2 and 6.00% O2, films were obtained with concentrations of [O]/[Ti] of about 1.9, near the chemical composition of titanium dioxide (TiO2). Films with concentrations close to the TiO2 showed amorphous, but with characteristics of formation of anatase phase. The optical properties presented optical gap values between 3.33 eV and 3,78 eV and had no significant variation, as calculated by E03, E04 and ETauc methods. The roughness of the films decreased proportionally with increasing oxygen flow in the depositions.

The aim of the first study was to investigate behavioural alterations and Fos expression in gerbils submitted to functional training after unilateral cerebral ischaemic injury. The behavioural procedures that were used to test functional recovery were the vibrissal stimulation test and the pellet-collecting task. Twenty-four hours after surgery, the animals were submitted to the experimental procedure, which lasted three weeks. The animals were distributed into four subgroups: sham lesion, sham lesion and trained, ischaemic injury and ischaemic injury and trained. The motor cortex, hippocampus and dorsal striatum were subjected to immunohistochemistry reaction for Fos expression, and the mean number of cells in each region was calculated. Behavioural data were analysed using the Kruskal Wallis test (p ≤ 0.05), and the morphological data were subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance, both followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test (p ≤ 0.05). The animals in the injury group presented significantly lower averages in the pellet-collecting task and higher percentages of error in the vibrissal stimulation test when compared to animals in the sham lesion group, indicating that the lesion impaired motor performance in both tests. After training, the trained groups showed a significant increase in the pellet-collecting task compared to untrained groups, demonstrating that functional training improves task performance in sham and injured animals. A significant increase in the activation of neurons in the motor cortex and hippocampus of the injury and trained group was observed when compared to the injured group. Functional training increased the motor performance of the trained animals, independently of lesion, in the pellet-collecting task and caused increased neuronal activation in the motor cortex and hippocampus in the injury animals. Moreover, the presented method is useful for the evaluation of motor performance in gerbils. The objective of the second study was to investigate the effects of the histamine precursor L-Histidine and the H1-receptor antagonist Pyrilamine on the functional recovery of gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) following a unilateral ischemic brain injury. Two experiments were conducted under the same experimental procedures to test the effects of two pharmacological treatments in experiment I, L-Histidine doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg and in experiment II, Pyrilamine was administered at doses of 35 mg/kg and 70 mg/kg. Both experiments were accompanied by control groups for the drug (saline), the lesion (sham lesion) and training on the pelletcollecting task (untrained). The behavioural tests that were used to test functional recovery were the vibrissal stimulation test and the pellet-collecting task. The Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05), the Student-Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test (p<0.05) and a Bonferroni correction (p<0.025) were used for statistical analysis. It was established that a unilateral cerebral ischemic injury impairs motor performance and that training on the pellet-collecting task improves performance independently of the lesion. L-Histidine impaired functional recovery when administered in combination with motor training, while Pyrilamine in combination with training potentiated functional recovery. With respect to the vibrissal stimulation test, the injured animals that received training in combination with L-Histidine showed a memory recall deficit; however, Pyrilamine had the opposite effect in animals that were injured and trained. These results suggest that the neural histaminergic system participates in the process of functional recovery of gerbils following a unilateral ischemic brain injury.

In this study I expose the theoretical research that is my dissertation, in which I analyze the process of participation of the scientific community in the Environmental Policy and the role of a network of transnational cooperation, ICLEI, within that process. Modern society has emphasized the need for development, in a search for an ideal society increasingly structured, advanced, economically prepared, democratic, politically consolidated and ecologically less vulnerable. This context has intensified since the advent of globalization, which provided an increasingly intense dissemination of ideas, political models, beliefs, ideologies and knowledge. It provided communication between very distant societies and has led to a spread of environmental impacts, which do not respect geographical boundaries, economic, cultural and social. This development model, pursued mainly by underdeveloped or developing countries, is now being questioned by scientists who have shown negative consequences increasingly prominent. And before these risks of modernity, the academic community and the lay community have spent defending a need for state intervention in the process of facing the environmental problems. Thus, public policies have gained prominence, legitimacy and importance. However, still inserted in extractive development model, intensive, industrial, capitalist, these policies do not have the strength that potentially would have, and my interest in this context arises. The communication among scientists, decision makers and laymen appears fragile and presents a need to intensify these relationships by understanding the role each plays, and the links established in practice. In public policy development through this context, it shows necessarily a contribution from the public sphere, science and decision makers, each with its powers, defending their individual and group interests in this complex decision-making process, generating solutions more effective, democratic and sustainable. The prospect of Environmental Science is referenced in this work because of it s importance during the process of solidification of environmental discussions. Thus, I make a brief exposition of this construction and opinions about what was and is being built, seeking to contextualize the participation of science both in legitimizing environmental issues and participating in practical policy-making. It is through ICLEI who I seek a deeper understanding about the functioning of the construction of public policies, the materials used, the goals set, and principally the actors involved. Seeking to analyze the participation of the scientific community, the analysis part from a group that develops and applies public policy, to understand how this process occurs and compare it with the perspectives of other groups involved in the same goal.

Postural variations are common in childhood / adolescence and are corrected spontaneously. When maintained can cause overload. The objective of the first study was to evaluate the prevalence of postural variations in children / adolescents and to identify factors that explain these variations among age, gender, manual preference, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity, through multiple logistic regression analysis. 288 students were evaluated through postural observation. They were 59.4% female, mean age 10.6 (2.4) years, body mass 38.6 (12.7) kg and height 1.5 (0.1) m. Results show high prevalence of postural changes and their association with factors: age (forward head posture, shoulders and iliac crests asymmetry winged scapula), sex (winged scapula), BMI (forward head, iliac crest asymmetry, valgus knees and winged scapula) and not perform physical activity (valgus knees). Among the factors evaluated, obesity is a modifiable factor. Therefore, its association with the changes must be explored to facilitate the planning of preventive measures and more effective treatment. So, the objectives of the second study were to describe the prevalence of overweight in adolescents and identify differences in posture, (evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively) and the reporting of musculoskeletal pain (assessed by an adaptation of the Nordic Questionnaire) among normal weight and overweight in a large sample of students. 420 students were evaluated, 60% female, with mean age 11.1 (2.3) years, height 1.5 (0.1) m. body mass 44.5 (14.1) kg. Findings indicate that the prevalence of overweight was 36.2%. There was a higher prevalence of thoracic kyphosis, lumbar hyperlordosis and valgus knees with overweight students. There was no association between the presence of pain and weight excess. In childhood and adolescence, the posture lies in the development process. Therefore, any functional change to poor posture will reflect negatively in the future. So, the objective of the third study was to evaluate the effects of an exercise program of stretching and strengthening exercises in relation to posture, mobility of the spine and musculoskeletal pain in primary school children. Qualitative and quantitative postural evaluation of the trunk, pain and spine mobility (Whistance method) were collected before and after the intervention. The subjects were randomly assigned to groups. The exercise program was applied in groups, at school, twice weekly for eight weeks, for 50 minutes. The analysis included 78 subjects in the intervention group and 93 in the control, with mean age 11.6 (1.7) years, 1.5 (0.1) meters of height, 46.3 (14.1) kg of mass. It was also comprised of 67.3% female. The control group showed greater worsening percentage than intervention group to the posture of the shoulders. For the pain, the intervention group showed greater improvement percentage. These results show that the exercise program as described is effective in pain and posture of the shoulders. For other variables, adjustments in the duration of the program and individualized care may be recommended.

Since 1950, people with deficiency have been inserted in the job market. From this decade much has been made for inclusion of these people, things like, new laws were created as guarantee of their rights. But in the companies opinion, these laws began to be fulfilled just to avoid penalties, labeling and stigmatizing these people as unable to perform work functions. Actually, the form work of the person with deficiency needs to be conquered by their own effort and designed by the society, by ability and not because the law protects them like charitable way or by percentage of vacancies, which contributed to the spread of stigma. As shown raised some questions: How are been prepared and inserted the people with deficiency in the job market? These people are been qualified adequately to the competitive job market? This Project aims to verify how the people with deficiency are being prepared in the vocational courses and how are been inserted and included in the job market. The sample consisted of three groups of participants: i) six people with disabilities who have completed vocational courses and were inserted in the job market, ii) five teachers of vocational courses, and iii) three representatives of the company. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews and observation records. The instruments underwent a pilot study to check the semantic aspect. The data collection was through semi-structured interviews and observation records. The data treatment occurred through Content Analysis that consists in explaining and systematize the message content and meaning it. According to the results of the study, we can understand that in participating institution, workers with disabilities are currently satisfied with their working conditions and feel fulfilled with activities that develop. The company proved to be committed to fulfilling his social role and tries to include these workers the most appropriate manner. And by teachers of vocational courses, despite some difficulties in teaching-learning process, sought to provide a quality education and adequate to ensure an effective labor insertion of these people.

This work was carried out with the intention of developing a set of guidelines that seeks to promote the conversion of technological knowledge into effective appropriation of intellectual capital as an intangible asset, through the production of patents. Based on the theoretical references for knowledge management activities, on project office management activities and on the process known as "innovation funnel", and on the method of research-action, the guidelines were developed. Once implemented in a private held business environment that invests in research and development as part of its strategy, it was observed a significant increase in the conversion capacity of technological knowledge generated in patent applications in the order of 16 times over a period prior to the use of those guidelines. Thus, it is concluded that the proposed model is effective and meaningful to provide better conditions for increasing intangible assets of the organization that it was the subject of the study, mainly due to the application of the resources of knowledge management.

This research presents as an aim to analyse the impressions of a group formed by five Mathematics teachers about the State of São Paulo current curriculum implementation. It was elaborated in 2007 and implemeted in 2008 by the Department of the State of São Paulo (SEE/SP). The analysis is made from the subject speeches and the official documents available by the SEE/SP. As a background , we come up with the central ideas of some curriculum theories which are grounded in Doll (1997), Sacristán (2000), Sacristán (2007) and Silva (2011). These authors consider the curriculum as something that occurs in practice and that should be thought considering the educational system truth, in which teachers have a central and crucial function in the whole process. Thus , we perceive the curriculum as something constituted in practice, in the classroom. The issues that lead this research are: what do Mathematics teachers who act in basic education think about the implementation process of the Mathematics Curriculum Proposal PCM in 2008? What relation there can exist between what teachers say and what appears in official documents? The research is qualitative and can be characterized as a descriptive analytical. The meaning units were defined from the interviewed answers and from the official documents, the National Plan for Education (PNE), the Political Educational of the Government of the State of São Paulo Plan (2007), São Paulo Faz Escola magazine special edition of the Curriculum Proposal: Mathematics (2008), Mathematics Curriculum Proposal (2008), Manager Book (2009) and the Curriculum Proposal for First Grade Teaching Mathematics (2002). Among the obtained results we detach that the Curriculum Proposal of the State of São Paulo gives emphasis to external evaluations, which presentation and implementation have occurred by the managers. We also realized some contradictions between the teachers reports about what happens in the practice and what the developers argue. As well as between what appears in the documents and what happened in the educational institutions according to the teachers.

Our purpose is to conduct a discussion about how nature has been conceived by science. Our hypothesis is that science can not be understood as isolated instance, as the scientific description of reality is influenced and influences conceptions of the social context in which it (science) is inserted. To illustrate our point of view, we chose the concept of nature. This concept is confused with the concept of real, appears as human otherness, before which man must stand and merges with a project of society you want to include nature in politics. The discussion humanity x nature has guided the development of western ontology, especially science. Nowadays, the discussion remains, and different scientific fields have been questioning the boundary between the two domains. We will review the work of established authors of the natural and human sciences, which we consider as founders of visions of nature. From there, enter the implications that these approaches have had and for the development of science: for the natural sciences, nature can be fully understood through the impersonal methods of science. However, we believe that science interprets it according to a specific language, and its conclusions are translations of nature, not an accurate description of it. Regarding the human sciences, despite nature does not directly constitute the object of study, we believe that it is present, usually in a manner not spelled out: how ontology is responsible, as opposed to being human, whether as a representation without autonomous existence. We will seek to make it more evident that some concepts of nature permeate the humanities, until we get proposals seeking to question the separation culture x nature. We discuss the nature as a political project, a movement that part of the advent of the scientific concept of ecology, but that is appropriate as a social project.

This study aimed to analyze the public ownership of pharmaceutical inserts for users Health System in San Carlos - SP. The inserts are considered important technological instruments guidance in health, to warn about the appropriate use of information, ensuring their safety and rational use of medication. Therefore, it is deemed necessary scientific literacy in health of society as a way to participate in the construction of public policies governing the industry and understanding of the correct information for effective applicability. We used a qualitative method, applying a structured semi-structured interview to seventeen drug users a basic health unit in the city. Data analysis was based on the hermeneutic-dialectic, in five categories that emerged, focusing on understanding and criticism against the material. The profile of the subjects focused mostly on women with little schooling, elderly and prevalence of hypertension and diabetes as conditions for continuous medication. The content of the interviews showed that adherence to reading the leaflets is influenced by the font size and technical-scientific terms, aspects which are not attractive to the user / reader. Also, it was possible to identify which medical advice, habit and lack of time and not supply of leaflets in public pharmacy configured reasons that discourage reading. Still, it was noted that subjects assign value and importance revelantes say is the information contained in the inserts for the pharmacotherapeutic treatment. It was found that the participation of drug users in the public health area studied, the construction of policies governing the manufacture of small and leaflets is that they lack scientific knowledge in health that would guarantee them the right attitude in making decisions and ownership of the contents of them to proper use of medication. The education level and more accurate vision were described as important personal characteristics to read and interpret a bull and analyzed as justifications for lack of interest in the material. It was also observed that, for the subjects, large print and clearer information and lean key points noted in the constitution of a bull in order to make it an ideal mechanism guiding therapy. Therefore, it was suggested more effort of public agencies guiding public policy in the area and more active attitude as a citizen by the drug user.

This paper aims to analyze how students from Course of Technology in Tourism Management evaluates the operating platform moodle seeking to prove the relationship between education and technology in accordance with the Critical Theory of Technology from Feenberg. Andrew Feenberg is one of the pioneers of distance education to create a course based on this modality in the 1980s and since then studies the distance education with relation of social studies of science and technology and his research is based on technological constructivism. Thus, the state government of Rio de Janeiro in 2000 created the CEDERJ - Center for Distance Higher Education in Rio de Janeiro - a consortium of six public universities of Rio de Janeiro. Among the courses offered by CEDERJ, can highlight the Course of Technology in Tourism Management, administered by the Federal Center for Technological Education Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET / RJ). Since it is the first half of the course students have difficulties in dealing with learning technologies, and relevant to assess the perceptions that they have on the learning processes and to analyze the possibilities of student participation in the building of moodle platform, molding according to the interests of all actors involved in the course - the governing, teachers and students. As methodology, the work is a case study based on qualitative and quantitative research, data obtained through a questionnaire on line targeted at students from the five centers of the course. After interpretation and data analysis it became clear what was the perception that students have about the learning processes of the course. As a result, we can verify that students have sense evaluative notes relevant to achieving satisfactory with respect to the learning process in which they are inserted and they can constitute social agents capable of modifying educational technology.

The relationship between law and persons with disabilities existed since ancient times and is changing, albeit slowly, in search of human dignity. In the context of construction and warranty rights, scientific study was present, contributing new theories and mapping the social events. Thus, this study focuses on the rights of persons with disabilities in the Consolidated represented by scientific theses and dissertations in the Graduate Programs in the coun period between 1991 and 2009 and aims to: select the theses and dissertations in the period between 1991 and 2009 are available at the Bank of CAPES thesis and whose object of study people with disabilities and the law; analyze this scientific production, through bibliometric approach, methodology resource that allows, among other things, understand the configuration of certain knowledge areas from the analysis of the scientific production; produce bibliometric indicators of scientific output selected using the following parameters: authorship, institutional affiliation and professional profile of authors; encouragement received; regional and temporal distribution of the work; themes focused, among other , analyzing the content of selected theses and dissertations, by selecting a sample of at least one work linked to each knowledge area identified. As a theoretical framework we used the current law regarding the rights of persons with disabilities, as well as work on the analysis of scientific production and rights of people with disabilities. Regarding the methodology, the research is characterized as documentary, descriptive and analytical, based on bibliometric approach. The methodological procedures involved the following stages: a) literature review, b) survey and analysis of theses and dissertations involving thematic c) systematization and analysis of results. It was observed by the data obtained, among other things, that most research was developed between the years 2007 and 2009, and most often in programs related to the area of law and it was found that few institutions are responsible for developing most studies.

The human movement record is an essential requirement for biomechanical, clinical and occupational analysis, allowing assessments of postural variation, occupational risks and improvement of preventive programs in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Electrogoniometers have been used to record wrist movements during work. However, different sizes of sensors are used, bringing difficulties to the comparison of recordings. Moreover, although of flexible electrogoniometers (EGM) are considered a reliable and accurate equipment for dynamic recordings of different joints the EGM, they are susceptible to measurement errors, known as crosstalk. There are two main types of crosstalk, crosstalk due to sensor rotation and the inherent crosstalk. Correction procedures have been proposed to correct these errors, however no study evaluating the efficiency of corrections from both procedures in subject wrist measurements was identified in the available literature. Thus, this study aims: 1) to evaluate two different sensors in order to check its performance in an anthropometric defined sample; 2) to evaluate the effects of mathematical correction procedures on: the crosstalk due to the forearm rotation, the inherent sensors crosstalk, and the combination of these two procedures. To compare the two models of sensors 13 subjects were evaluated (7 women and 6 men) who performed flexion/extension and ulnar/radial wrist movement, reaching maximum amplitude in the pronated forearm position. Two sensors measuring 65 and 110 mm of length (XM110 and XM65, respectively) and an acquisition data device (Datalog, Biometrics) were used. The sequence of movements and the sensor placement were randomized. The data were analyzed descriptively and statistically bymultivariate analysis. The intra-individual variation (root mean square RMS between trials) were calculated. The results showed there was no significant difference between the sensors for all movements. The maximum intra individual variation was 2.2°. There were significant differences between gender for wrist flexion and ulnar deviation, women have higher values than men. The maximum variability between sensors was 7.1°. Although no significant difference was identified between sensors, it was found that the sensor XM110, bigger than XM65, presented bulging during the extension. Therefore, for individuals with height up to 1.8 m, the data obtained by both sensors are comparable. In the second stage of the study we evaluate the maximum amplitude of the flexion/extension and ulnar deviation/radial wrist of 43 healthy subjects recorded by EGMs. Correction procedures were applied to the crosstalk due to the rotation of the forearm, crosstalk inherent and combining the two procedures. The results showed there was no significant difference in measurements before and after the correction procedures (P≤0.05). Furthermore, the differences between the correction procedures were below 5 ° for most cases, indicating small clinical impact on the measurements. Considering that the corrections are time consuming, require specific technical knowledge and have provided inefficient results, the correction procedures are not recommended for clinical wrist electrogoniometers recordings. Thus, improvement of equipment should be provided by the manufacturers.

In the last two decades, the traditional knowledge has been the subject of intense discussion. This subject is studied by researchers from various areas of knowledge, generating a large number of documents, such as, journal articles, theses and dissertations. A way to evaluate the science on this subject is analyzing these documents. In this dissertation, through quantitative, descriptive and exploratory methods, it has been conducted two bibliometric analyses. The first regards the scientific production of theses and dissertations with thematic related to traditional knowledge, defended in Brazilian universities and indexed in the CAPES theses Database. The second analysis, carried out on the Web of Science database with articles about the theme Traditional Knowledge , encompassed three searches: (1) articles written by Brazilian authors; (2) international scientific production about Brazil; (3) global production of scientific documents. The bibliometric analysis pointed out that the Federal University of Santa Catarina is the Brazilian institution that has published most of the theses and dissertations on the subject, spotting the Graduate Program in Agroecosystems. Environmental studies were the ones that stood out the most, mainly the areas Ecology and Agronomy. These results suggest the treatment of traditional knowledge as a thematic subordinate to its ecological dimension.

The main target in this dissertation is to identify the constitutive elements of the dynamic in the scientific field, standing out the experience and the point of view of professors on the conflicts and relations of forces. There was an approach to a postgraduate course on humanities of a renowned Brazilian public university. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted about life history and scientific academic trajectory. The professors were intentionally selected. Professors, who entered in the institution in different historical moments (before and after 1995), were interviewed. These professors were also in different stages in their careers and they also presented different hierarchical positions in the institution and also in the scientific field. There were also pilot interviews with a professor from another institution and two complementary ones, one of which with a university worker and another one with a student, which guided this research about the procedure and questions of the interviews. The analysis of the content of the interviews was made by reading, rereading and gradual building of analysis categories that allowed pointing inferences and interpretations. Two categories of analysis were indicated: work, sociability and subjectivity; and field, university practices and relations of forces. The analysis of the interviews was complemented with some documents (inter alia, meetings minutes, lattes CV, data from the institution website) that allowed us to consider, within the limits of the ethic commitment of not identifying the researched institution, some features of its institutional culture, its faculty profile and also of its sample. It was used as theoretical background Bourdieu‟s concepts of fields, capital and habitus, as well as studies on Brazilian public universities and also studies of other authors that approach themes related to the subject of our research. It started from the hypothesis of the reconfigurations of the public universities under the guidelines of the State Reform that took place especially after 1995. It was considered that could be worsening clashes and disputes in obtaining and also distributing the scientific capital due to the postgraduation model that is being consolidated. The results pointed out to the inseparability, contradictions and clashes between sociability and subjectivity under the mediation of work. It was pointed to epistemological and political conflicts in the scientific field and relations of forces permeated by competitiveness and individualism. The internalized provisions of the professors were understood as formed in a variety of their lifelong socialization processes and reconstituted in a more or less conflicting way from their insertion in the scientific field and in their current historical moment, in which the universities practices tend to be reconfigured under the aegis of the instrumental rationality of the evaluation model of the professors production performance and also of post-graduation programs. It was evident that there was a dialectical relationship between habitus and field, as the professors are constitutive part in the scientific field, the same way that they extract elements that influence their subjectivity, (con) forming it, according to each case, in different ways, to the productive sociability. The professors need to tacitly accept the rules in the scientific field and the established evaluation parameters of productivity, in order to remain therein, even that, many times, the subjectivity and the habitus clash with the productive sociability.

The use of insecticides is increasing not only for agriculture purposes but also against threats to public health caused by insects. However, in the last few years it is possible to see a frequent replacement of current pesticides for new others, which differ in toxicity. Pyrethroid insecticides, deltamethrin is an example, are considered ideal xenobiotics due to low toxicity to mammals and birds, a wide range of targets and no biomagnification. Nevertheless, several studies report the toxic effects of deltamethrin on non-target organisms, such as fishes. In this vertebrate group, high toxicity seems to be due to an enzymatic deficiency in hydrolyzing pyrethroids and this fact can be assessed through hematologic, metabolic, neurologic, and oxidative stress investigations. Pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus, is a freshwater fish from South America and is affected by massive use of pyrethroids. This species is widely known in the Midwest region of Brazil, wherein the largest agrochemicals use takes place. The aim of this study was the acute toxicity determination of deltamethrin (LC(I)50;48h) for pacu juveniles; evaluation of hematologic, metabolic and antioxidant defenses of pacu after 96 h of sublethal exposure to deltamethrin (10% LC(I)50;48h); evaluation of deltamethrin effects on the brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in vivo. The LC(I)50;48h estimated to deltamethrin in pacu juveniles was 17.32 μg L-1. In response to sublethal exposure, pacu depicted blood changes suggestive of erythropenia and dehydration. Metabolic changes included hepatic glycogenolysis, muscle proteolysis, and hyperglycemia, suggesting an overload of the energetic metabolism to serve the detoxification processes. Regarding antioxidant defenses, the occurrence of hepatic lipid peroxidation is indicative of oxidative stress with depletion of non-enzymatic antioxidants and alterations in antioxidant enzymes activity. Also, deltamethrin depicted AChE inhibition in fish exposed to sublethal concentrations.

Background: There is a lack of studies that evaluated within day and between day reliabilities of 3-D scapular kinematics during elevation and lowering of the arm in different shoulder conditions, as well as studies about low-amplitude and high-velocity thoracic spine manipulation (TSM) effects on scapular kinematics in subjects with shoulder dysfunctions. Objective: To establish within day and between day reliability of scapular motion during elevation and lowering of the arm and at rest position and to evaluate the immediate effects of a TSM on pain and scapular kinematics during elevation and lowering of the arm, both in subjects with and without shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Methods: Kinematic data were collected using Flock of Birds® electromagnetic device. Subjects were divided in 2 groups: control and impingement. For reliability kinematic data were collected during elevation and lowering of the arm and at rest position on 2 different occasions separated by 3 to 5 days. Forty-nine subjects were tested for within day reliability. Forty-three subjects were reassessed for between day reliability. For kinematic evaluation pre- and ppost-manipulation, scapular kinematics was collected during elevation and lowering of the arm before and immediately after the intervention. Numeric pain rating scale was used to assess shoulder pain during arm movement at pre- and post- intervention. Fifty subjects (31.76 ± 10.91 years) with SIS and 47 subjects (25.76 ± 5.01 years) asymptomatic for shoulder dysfunctions were randomly assigned to one of the groups: manipulation or sham. Results: There was very good within day reliability for assessing scapular internal and upward rotations and tilt from both groups during elevation and lowering of the arm (ICC=0.92-0.99). In general, there was good between day reliability for assessing scapular motion during elevation and lowering of the arm from both groups (ICC=0.54-0.88). There was also good and very good between day reliability for assessing scapular rest position in both groups (ICC=0.66-0.95). Study 2: Subjects with SIS experienced reduced shoulder pain (from 3.29 to 2.45, p<0.01) during arm movement immediately after TSM. Subjects with and without SIS who received TSM and asymptomatic subjects who received sham intervention showed significant increase in scapular upward rotation at post-intervention. Increase in scapular anterior tilt at postmanipulation was also observed in asymptomatic subjects who received TSM. Conclusion: Flock of Birds® electromagnetic tracking system is a reliable device for measuring 3-D scapular motion during elevation and lowering of the arm and at rest position in subjects with and without impingement symptoms over time. TSM is associated with improved shoulder pain and scapular upward rotation in subjects with SIS. Although with questionable clinical relevance, TSM may not be immediately favorable to scapular tilt in asymptomatic subjects.

The Information Society is defined in terms of production, circulation and access to knowledge. Therefore, the copyright became a strategic element to the social, economical, political and cultural configuration of the Information Society. The history of copyright, including the creation of the current international regime for the protection of intellectual property rights, reveals the link established between this category of protection and international political economy. At the same time, new information and communication technologies allow diversification in creating process and access to knowledge, as well as enable the making of new devices which enhance the protection of intellectual assets. This scenario led to the questioning of the forms of regulation of copyright that goes through a process of reconstruction of meaning. The contradiction that is established in the Information Society is emphasized in the field of scientific production and communication, since it involves legitimate social interest as well as principles common to the scientific community. The present study aims to examine this contradiction in the international scenario considering the normative aspects linked to the international copyright protection, evaluating and comparing documents and international regulatory actions of the following international organizations: UNESCO, WIPO and WTO. The objective is to verify, by comparative analysis and data from interviews with key informants, the level of openness of organizations to dialogue with civil society. It will analyze the specific case of the inclusion of Open Access on the Agenda for Development administered by WIPO, and the effects of these debates on the international regime for the protection of intellectual property, as well as on the reconstruction of the legal framework of copyright in Brazil.
