The oil exploitation and production in the pre-salt layers in safe, efficient and economically viable way depend on the development of materials that bear the severe conditions found in their applications during their whole life cycle. The pipes used in the oil exploitation and production such as drilling risers are subjected to severe work conditions. The stainless steel grades, such as the supermartensitic, duplex and superduplex, present the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties suit to the application in pipes used the oil exploitation, however, these materials present low wear resistance. Recent studies performed in the Materials Engineering Department at the Federal University of São Carlos (DEMa-UFSCar) have shown that the boron addition in stainless steel grades composition promotes borides formation, which increases the wear resistance of these materials. In this context, this protect aims the study of the wear resistance of spray-formed supermartensitic stainless steel with small additions of boron in its composition. This process allows the attainment of deposits with refined and homogeneous microstructure and with uniformly distributed precipitates directly from the liquid metal. The materials produced were characterized trough the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical microanalysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The materials wear resistance was evaluated trough the dry sand against rubber wheel test (ASTM G65-04) and trough a developed test that simulate one of the wear conditions that can occur in oil drilling risers. The results showed that the boron addition in supermartensitic stainless and the boride formation act differently in the materials wear resistance depending on the type of wear mechanism observed.

The literature presents many alternatives of physical training and frequently reiterates the use of animal models for studies on the effect of training, as the results in animals are similar to those in humans. There is also the possibility of evaluating variables such as volume and intensity. In addition, many studies have reported beneficial effects of estrogen as an important resource to minimize the deleterious effects of aging. As a means of understanding estrogen action and its influence on aerobic and anaerobic exercise, four experiments were carried out in this context. The first study was called The behavior of glycogen reserves in female rats denervated muscle, with different doses of estrogen and aimed at evaluating the estrogen action on the glycogenic profiles of denervated skeletal muscle.Methods: The animals were divided in 6 experimental groups (n=6): control (C), denervated for 15 days (D), denervated and treated with estrogen 20mg/weight/day (E20), denervated and treated with estrogen 40mg/weight/day (E40), denervated and treated with estrogen 80mg/weight/day (E80) and denervated and treated with estrogen 160mg/weight/day (E160). The treatment was realized by 15 days and the choice substance was estradiol cipionate. The following analyses were carried out: glycogen reserves in soleus (S), white (WG) and red gastrocnemius (RG), body and soleus weights. The statistical analysis included the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test (p<0.05). Results: The denervation induced a reduction in glycogen content in the S, WG and RG muscles. The groups treated with estrogen we observed a progressive elevation in glycogen reserves concomitant with the elevation of dose and reinstate the glycogen reserves, but the dose that shows a better action is 160mg/weight/day were we observed the greatest quimiometabolic responses. Conclusions: These results suggest that estrogen may be an effective resource to minimize the metabolic compromising that follows the skeletal muscle atrophy induced by denervation. Subsequently, we conducted a study called Estrogen modulation of insulin secretion in isolated rat pancreatic islets , whose goal was to evaluate the sensitivity to glucose in pancreatic islets isolated from female rats treated with estradiol cypionate (160 mg/body weight/ 15 days) as well as its effect on concentration of protein kinase C and protein kinase A in isolated islets. For this purpose, islets were isolated from rats by the collagenase method to evaluate the secretory process in the presence of different concentrations of glucose. On the other hand, the concentration of the enzymes PKC and PKA was also performed by Western blotting. Statistical analysis was applied to normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) followed by Tukey test, p <0.05. The results showed that the group treated with estradiol cypionate had greater insulin secretion against the same concentration of glucose, and increase of concentration of PKA and PKC enzymes, compared to control. The results show insulinotropic properties of estrogen in synergy with glucose, which is the main insulin secretagogue, since the hormone did not alter the secretion at concentrations normoglycaemia. Possibly the focus of the secretagogue action of estrogen involves the activation of cytosolic enzyme pathways that determine the exudation of insulin. From these observations, we conducted the third study entitled "Electrocardiographic profile of aged rats trained and treated with estrogen , whose goal was to assess the eletrocardiographic profile of rats treated with the association of estrogen and physical activity. We used Wistar rats at 1 year of age, which were submitted to two programs of aerobic exercise (swimming 3 sessions weekly / 8 weeks) and anaerobic (climbing stairs of 80 cm, 3 sessions weekly / 8 weeks). We evaluated blood pressure and ECG intervals considering the QRS, QTc and PR. Data were compared by Student's t test followed by Tukey test, p <0.05. The findings of this study showed that the group treated with estrogen values were 21% lower compared to the control group. With respect to training, we observed that aerobic training promoted 25% reduction in FC, which reached 37.2% reduction in the presence of estrogen. In anaerobic training, we observed 28% reduction, which was accentuated to 40% when estrogen was present. Thus we conclude that treatment with estrogen alone or associated with physical activity was effective in maintaining and improving conditions in the metabolic and functional heart in the cardiac changes that accompany the aging process. Subsequently, we held the fourth paper entitled "Metabolic actions of estrogen in rats subjected to two types of physical training . The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether rats supplemented with estrogen show better responses to the aerobic and anaerobic physical activity. We used aged Wistar rats (13 months), placed under ideal conditions of bioterism and divided into experimental groups called Control and Treated with estrogen (E, 160μg/100g), Aerobically and Anaerobically trained, and Treated with estrogen or not. Blood samples were collected for biochemical evaluation and samples of different muscles of the anterior and posterior were collected for glycogen content assessment by the phenol sulfuric method. The outcomes show that both estrogen and the different workout programs promoted increase in muscle glycogen reserves. Besides, the association of hormone with exercise promoted an additional effect with further enhances in energy conditions. Additionally, we found lower plasma free fatty acids and abdominal fat, and there was also an increase in total protein concentration indicating adjustments in metabolic homeostasis, an important condition to be preserved in the aging process.

Leaf-cutting ants are known by their strong power of to pulling down several vegetable crops and to cause economic lost to the agriculture. Several methods have been used for their control such as the use of halogenated, sulfurous and phosphorus compounds. However, the continued use of these compounds leads to problems such as environmental contamination and then raising the needed of new strategies to control of leaf-cutting ants. In this context, this work presents a phytochemical study of the species Schinus terebinthifolius, Anacardium humile e Macairea urundeuva and the insecticide and fungicide potential of the crude extracts, fractions and isolated compounds against the leaf-cutting ants, Atta sexdens rubropilosa, and its symbiotic fungus, Leucoagaricus gongylophorus. The study of these species allowed the isolation and/or identification of several secondary metabolites including triterpens, steroids, flavonoids, biflavonoids, glycosylated flavonoids and phenolic compounds. For both species A. humile and M. urundeuva this is the first report of their chemical composition. From the biological assays with leaf-cutting ants, it was found that several extracts showed insecticidal activity as a result of the synergistic effect of their chemical composition. The elagic acid isolated from M. urundeuva showed activity against the symbiotic fungus of leaf-cutting ants. The metal complexes of flavonoid quercetin didn`t present good results on biological assays against the workers of leaf-cutting ants and its symbiotic fungus. Besides these results, this study contributed to a project that has been developed by the Natural Product Laboratory at UFSCar, which aims to evaluated the biological activity of several metal complexes with different metals and flavonoids to the control of several agriculture pests.

The project aims to investigate the distribution of power, their reproduction and their implications in the organization of the National Liberation Party (PLN) in Costa Rica, during the period 1990-2010. In a context characterized by changes in the party system and the electoral system in Costa Rica, the PLN was affected by deep divisions, motivated by personal and ideological interests. The intraparty struggle for control of the lines of authority meant a challenge to the power structure and the party's electoral aspirations. In front of the crisis, the dominant coalition that takes control of the party manages to reverse the situation, making to adapt the party to environmental conditions by controlling areas of uncertainty, and co-opting groups that confronted the intraparty fight. Strengthening the party organization, the dominant coalition succeeded to secure their survival and organizational stability.

The combustion of petroleum fuels produces large emissions of NOX, SOX and other strong atmospheric pollutants. The abatement of NOX can be achieved by the nonselective catalytic reduction of NO with CO, for that, supported noble metals have been the most commonly used, with high cost as disadvantage. Transition metal oxides show good activity for this reaction, however, they have poor performance in the presence of SO2, O2 and water steam. Thus, this study aimed to prepare, characterize and evaluate catalysts based on CuO, Fe2O3 and CuO-Fe2O3 supported on TiO2, ZrO2 and their mixtures, in the reduction of NO to N2 with CO in the presence or absence of water steam. XRD data, N2 adsorption and H2-TPR showed that mixed oxides and their catalysts, prepared by sol-gel in-situ, presented specific surface areas between 30 to 60 m2/g, with Cu or Fe species highly distributed, having the last greater interaction with titanium. Rietveld refinement showed preferential formation of zirconium titanate, then showing a close interaction of these species in the mixed supports. All catalysts were highly active in the reduction of NO to N2. At temperatures below 500 °C a CuO catalysts were more active and selective for the formation of N2 than Fe2O3, with the formation of N2O being favored with the increase of zirconium in the support. At 600 °C, the high conversion of NO to N2 on CuO was not influenced by the content of TiO2 in the support. Also at 600 °C, an increasing in the content of titanium in the Fe2O3 catalysts resulted in a significant drop in the conversion of NO to N2. The presence of water steam during the reduction of NO with CO at 600 °C caused a significant decrease in the conversion of NO to N2 and CO to CO2 on the CuO catalyst on the support with higher titanium content. The water steam completely eliminates the activity for the reduction of NO to N2 on Fe2O3 catalysts, but keeping a high conversion of CO to CO2. The CuO and CuO-Fe2O3 catalysts on zirconium-rich supports showed high potential for the abatement of NOX in the presence of water steam at temperatures above 500 ºC.

The existence and maintenance for long years of high domestic interest rate is a phenomenon sweeping the Brazilian economic environment. Although in recent years the domestic interest rate derated, Brazil still is characterized as one of the countries with higher interest rate in the world. In order to contribute to the discussion and understanding of the factors that allows the existence and maintenance for long years of high domestic interest rate, it is investigated the hypothesis that even if the internal interest rate is influenced by the foreign interest rate, there are endogenous mechanisms to the Brazilian economy that allow the reduction of the internal interest rate. Aiming objective responses, it is used a Vector Error Correction (VEC) compounded of six endogenous variables and an exogenous variable. As results, it follows that although there is a relationship between domestic and foreign interest rates, there is space for the economic policy, enabling a continuous reduction in the domestic interest rate.

The aim of this thesis was the development of procedures for the determination of total arsenic, selenium and chromium in chicken production-related samples and iodine in table salt using inductively coupled plasma methods. The chemical speciation of arsenic and chromium was also studied. In the first study, microwave-assisted digestion was performed using diluted nitric acid solution followed by determination using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with a collision-reaction interface. In this procedure sample preparation was performed using microwave-assisted digestion with nitric acid for determinations of the elements. The second procedure was performed microwave-assisted digestion using reaction vessels pressurized with oxygen in order to regenerate nitric acid and increase the efficiency of digestion with the addition of an auxiliary reagent. Residual carbon contents determined in digests varied from 500 to 900 mg L-1. Afterwards, speciation analysis was applied for obtaining information about mobility, bioavailability and essentiality of arsenic and chromium. Thus, the speciation analysis of arsenic in chicken feed samples employing microwave-assisted extraction was investigated. The specie found was As(V) with concentration of 0.35 ± 0.06 mg kg-1. In another study, chromium speciation with sample preparation in alkaline medium was evaluated, since studies in literature showed that no interconversion occurs between Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in alkaline medium. This procedure was performed using water-soluble tertiary amines solution (CFA-C 10% v v-1) for Cr(VI) determination. The concentration of Cr(VI) in the samples ranged from 8.09 to 10.56 mg kg-1. Finally, the improvement of the sensitivity in the determination of iodine by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) using the flow-blurring® multinebulizer was evaluated. The high ionization energy of iodine implies in a low ionization of this element in the argon plasma and the absorption of radiation in the VUV region by components of air, such as oxygen and water vapor, hamper this element determination by ICP OES. One alternative for improving the efficiency of nebulization and atomization of the analyte and hence the detection limits for the determination of iodine is the generation of volatile species (I2 or HI) employing oxidizing agents and reducing agents. This study was performed using sodium tetrahydroborate in alkaline medium (reducing agent) and hydrogen peroxide (oxidizing agent) in acid medium and flow-blurring® multinebulizer. The concentration of iodine in one salt sample was 131 mg kg-1.

THE INFLUENCE OF HALIDE/PSEUDOHALIDE IN HYDROGENATION CATALYSIS BY COMPLEX CIS-[RU(A)2(DPPB)(N-N)]. Ruthenium complexes, with general formula cis-[Ru(A)2(dppb)(N-N)], (A = pseudohalides CN-, N3 - e SCN-) were obtained from the respective precursors cis- [RuCl2(dppb)(N-N)] {N-N= 2,2’- bipiridine (bipy), 4,4’-dimetil-2,2’-bipiridine (Mebipy) and 4,4’-dimetoxi-2,2’-bipiridine (MeObipy)} and dppb = 1,4-bis(difenilfosfina) butane, and characterized. These new Ru(II) complexes were characterized by analytical and spectroscopical techniques, such as Absorption Spectroscopy in the Infrared Region (IV) and Ultraviolet/Visible (UV/Vis), Nuclear Magnetic Ressonance (RMN), Molar Conductivity, X-ray Diffraction, Elemental Analisys, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). Catalytic studies were realized on cyclic hexene hidrogenation reaction using complexes with general formula cis-[RuCl2(dppb)(N-N)], for which the results have shown to be dependent of the utilized solvent in the process. In order to support data for a possible suggestion of and catalytic mechanism of the reaction involved in the process complexes containing pseudohalides were also studied in the same conditions. The fact that these complexes did not present catalytic activity is coherent with the inert properties of the pseudohalide complexes, with respect their dissociation from the Ru(II) center, considering their good π receptor properties, able to form strong bond with metallic centers, and also shown that during the catalytic cyclic the bidentate ligands (dppb and N-N) do not have their binding with the metal broken, which could allow the formation of a possible coordination center for the metal, able do bind the substrate, conducting to a catalytic process, which was not observed in these cases. The results obtained in the studies realized with the complexes cis-[RuCl2(dppb)(N-N)] allowed us to suggest that the substrat convertion follow two different pathways, depending of the used solvent in the process to be protonic and coordinating, but labile (alchools) or non coordinating (dichloromethane or acetone). Strong coordinating solvents, such as DMSO and CH3CN (S) did not present catalytic results, suggesting that the dissociation of the chloride from the complexes produce non catalytic species, such as cis-[RuCl(S)(dppb)(N-N)]Cl.

The aim of this study was to analyze narratives of English language teachers from public schools in São Carlos and Araraquara from the 1950s to 2012, so as to understand the changes that have occurred in the teaching of that language in public schools that led to the crisis it faces nowadays. This crisis is related to school violence, to widespread disaffection, and to dissatisfaction and low self-esteem of students, teachers and school leaders. The methodology used for data collection was the oral history of the teachers career paths. The data was analyzed qualitatively, allowing a panoramic view of the changes that have occurred in the teaching of English over the last 60 years. The analysis of the narratives revealed that the crisis results from a long historical process of changes, where two huge forces have affected negatively the pedagogical and social/personal dimension of the English language classroom. In this conflict the largest unbalancing factor falls upon the institutional changes, and the smallest falls upon the unavoidable force of the social and family values.

This work deals with the synthesis, characterization and study of nanostructures of zinc sulfide (ZnS) synthesized by microwave heated solvothermal method The synthesis method employed was extremely efficient leading to obtain the cubic and hexagonal structures of ZnS in shorter times and lower temperatures than those reported in the literature. Some synthesis parameters such as, synthesis time, temperature, and capping agent, were investigated in order to check the influence of these parameters on optical and structural properties of ZnS. The characterizations of the samples were performed by X-ray diffraction, absorption spectroscopy in the Uv-Vis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations were performed in collaboration to help explain the results. The results showed structural differences in the samples as well as different degrees of order-disorder in the material, directly related to certain parameters of synthesis. These differences were interpreted as the responsible for the modifications of the photoluminescent property.

Cephamycin C is a β-lactam antibiotic that belongs to the cephalosporins. This antibiotic stands out from other cephalosporins because it has activity against gram-negative bacteria and for being resistent to β-lactamases produced by pathogenic microorganisms, and which represent one of the major mechanisms of bacterial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. In view of the restricted information in the literature about the steps of the process, both from the point of view of research and of industrial production of cephamycin C, the study about its production and, consequently, the process of separation and purification becomes of great importance. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to develop a separation and purification process of cephamycin C from a fermentation broth produced by cultivations of Streptomyces clavuligerus in aired submerged processes. Extraction and separation processes of cephamycin C were performed by means of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) and ionexchange chromatography, respectively. Initially, studies on the stability of cephamycin C were performed in order to allow the establishment of conditions which minimize losses and increase the yield of the global process. In these studies, conditions at pH levels of 2.2, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 7.6 and 8.7 at a temperature of 20 °C were evaluated. The smallest half-life was of 52.6 hours and was verified for pH 8.7; the longest half-life was of 459 hours for pH 6.0; and for the most acid pH (2.2), half-life was of 118.2 hours. The second step of the work was the study of the separation of cephamycin C and amino acids with the aqueous two-phase system composed by PEG/phosphate. The presence of ornithine, lysine and asparagine amino acids in the fermentation broth, even after the primary separation steps performed by filtration processes consisting of microfiltration and ultrafiltration, is due to the composition of the culture medium which is of complex origin. The experiments were carried out by varying the following parameters: molecular mass of PEG (400, 600, 1000 and 4000), pH (6, 7 and 8), tieline length (TLL 37 and 43) and phase volume ratio (rTLL 0.75, 1.00 and 1.25), in order to enable the determination of the best system for cephamycin C extraction. The best conditions obtained for this process were pH 8, PEG 400, TLL 43 and rTLL 1.00, where the highest partition coefficient, kp of 5.57, was acquired. For the separations of cephamycin C and the amino acids present in the broth, it was possible to verify the following separation efficiencies: 3.4 (ornithine), 6.9 (lysine) and 2.8 (asparagine). The last step of the work showed that it is possible to recover cephamycin C from the PEG phase promoting an even greater purification with the residual amino acids. The ion-exchange chromatography was used to propose so. For this proposal, we used the ion exchange chromatographic technique, with use of anionic resin Amberlite IRA 400. These experiments were performed under temperatures of 20, 25 and 30 °C and pH 2.8 and 6.8. The Amberlite IRA 400 Cl- resin showed affinity for cephamycin C, and in the experiments in fixed bed column, it was possible to separate cephamycin C from PEG, from the phosphate salt and from the amino acids present in the top phase. The results allowed the conclusion that the proposed process is an excellent alternative for the extraction, separation and purification of cephamycin C.

Research shows that children with visual handicap may develop isolation and other difficulties in social interactions, which may disrupt the process of inclusion in school. The theoretical and practical field of social skills shows that such interactions can be classified as pro- and noninclusive behaviors. Also, the frequency of such behaviors depend on the interactions (or lack thereof) between teacher and student, which are usually established by the teacher. There is currently a lack of observational studies in social skills and social competence. Thus, it is important to examine the social interaction of blind children in the school environment -- in particular using direct observation, since this method provides important data to perform a functional evaluation of pro- and noninclusive behaviors that will identify conditions that are both favorable and unfavorable to the process of inclusion. Direct observation was complemented by reports from parents and teachers, as well as self-reports and sociometric evaluations. This study aimed to: (1) Functionally describe the pro- and noninclusive social performances of two blind children in interaction with their peers and teachers in terms of antecedents and consequences; (2) Define, through measuring scales: the social skills repertoire, behavior problems, academic competence, and the sociometric status of included children; (3) Link pro- and noninclusive behaviors to social skills indicators, behavior problems, and sociometric status of children. The study participants were two children, a boy and a girl, both nine years old and diagnosed with congenital blindness. Participants were enrolled in public, regular education schools, and were filmed in the classroom environment during Portuguese classes and free activities suggested by the researcher. The observed performances were described in terms of antecedents, responses and consequences, and the percentage of correlation between the responses and events was identified. The Social Skills Evaluation System (SSRS-BR) was used with parents and teachers, as well as with the children, to obtain information on the children's behaviors. Furthermore, the children's classmates underwent a sociometric evaluation. The analysis of data collected through direct observation of behavior indicates that around 70% of performances emitted in classroom interactions were classified as proinclusive. This information is contradictory when compared to data from SSRS-BR and from sociometric evaluation. In general, the observed children were socially competent in their social interactions at school, which does not guarantee their full inclusion in this environment.

The studies have shown that learning music encourages the global development of a child. Recent studies have shown the benefits of musical education towards the development of phonological awareness and the conventions and conceptions of writing for children with special needs and children at risk. Given the importance in our area, the search for innovative practices for musical development and emergent literacy in a school context, the current study has as its objective verifying the effects of the interdisciplinary program including the musical skills and abilities that promote reading and writing skills such as phonological awareness and knowledge about the functions and conventions of writing. The participants were three children who were enrolled in First Grade in Elementary School with a history accentuated by hardships in life. For fourteen meetings, the students participated in activities directed towards musical perception, rhythm and beat, general music knowledge, interest for literature and handling books and writing concepts. The study consisted of comparing the percentages of right answers of skills tested before and after participation in the program. Tests were used to evaluate musical skills, phonological awareness and emergent literacy. The results indicated that some skills had a moderate to high increase in the percentage of correct answers and other skills did not show improvement. Corroborating with the findings of previous studies in this area, we can conclude that the interdisciplinary program conducted in this study favored the promotion of musical skills and emergent literacy. This research contributes both to a new line of research and to the possibility of the Music teacher working along with the Preschool Education and the first grade of Elementary School in order to explore a promising perspective of interdisciplinary work in music and emergent literacy process.

In this paper, we study a class of nonlinear waves in one dimension using the assumption of traveling waves. First we found the solutions to the partial differential equation (PDE) containing a term of nonlinear inhomogeneity, rø (1-øl), which conditions the wave to present a saturation profile. We found analytical solutions for specific cases and also we transformed the partial differential equation in integral form, studying the solutions. In possession of the solutions, a study of the parameters' variation according to the value of the exponent l of the equation's nonlinear term was conducted. We also make an approach to the problem with the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions, making it possible to define the wave's energy. In the last part of this paper we write the EDP in the discrete form of finite difference. We solved the equation numerically and studied l = 1; 2 and varying the parameter that multiplies the inhomogeneous term. We found that the solution can go from a regular saturated profile to chaotic behavior.

This research aimed to discuss the theoretical and methodological foundations of Sociology of Childhood, trying to answer some methodological challenges that arise for research with babies, from a dialogue with English speakers scholars. This is a qualitative theoretical and bibliographic research, which some contributions of the genealogy as proposed by Foucault. From the analysis of the scientific production of Alison James, Chris Jenks, Alan Prout, Jens Qvortrup, Leena Alanen and William Corsaro, we question the value of concepts and methodologies proposed for the study of children (such as the concepts of childhood, generation, and peer cultures) in case of the studies of babies. We emphasize the necessity of constituting theoretically the baby inside Childhood Studies, as an independent analytical category. We already emphasize that babies should not be studied adopting the same concepts used for the study of children and even using the same methodologies. We put in a dialogue the ideas of Foucault, Deleuze and Simondon, presents the work of Jenks (2005) and Prout (2005), and using some concepts from these scholars, we defend the idea that there is a difference between babies and children that cannot be ignored. From the ideas of these authors, we argue that "babies" are beings immersed in the pre-individual condition. Are becomings, difference, pure potentiality not individuated; while children are individuals who have an identity (of age, gender, cultural belonging, ethnic-racial, etc..) that babies don t have. In terms of methodology, we point out that this singular condition of babies cannot be studied from any methodology. This way, we highlight the cartography proposed by Deleuze, the schizoanalysis , used by Guattari, the Transgressive Method of Bataille and the methodology of Actor-Network Theory , as some apparently promising methodologies for the study of babies.

The Braconidae has been extensively used in biological control programs in tropical and subtropical agroecosystems. Species of the subfamily Microgastrinae are subject to agrarian, ecological and biological studies because of its taxa and diversity. They constitute the most important group of parasitoids of Lepidoptera. Taxonomic works have been mainly directed to studying the fauna of temperate regions, the tropics fauna is poorly known. This study aimed to contribute to the knowledge of the Microgastrinae fauna from localities of Atlantic Forest in the State of São Paulo, supporting further taxonomic, systematic and conservation studies. In each locality five Malaise traps were installed; during 24 months, and the abundance and wealth for each genus found by calculating the values of the Shannon diversity index and Pielou Equitability index. The Bray Curtis similarity coefficient was used for comparisons of the fauna from the different localities and a cluster analysis was proposed. The total of 4,402 specimens of Microgastrinae were sampled, distributed in 23 genera. The Parque Estadual de Intervales was the site with the largest number of specimens collected, 71% of the total obtained, with 22 genera identified. The most abundant genera were Apanteles (46.18%), Glyptapanteles (18%) and Diolcogaster (10.69%). As the result of this research, a checklist of Braconidae species for the State of Sao Paulo was proposed and the description of the male of Prasmodon eminens Nixon, 1965 (Braconidae, Microgastrinae) was done.

The number of students with disabilities in schools is increasing every year due to government support, both for the public school as to private institutions. Thinking about it, this research was carried out to understand the organization and operation of Special Education in Porto Ferreira, Brazil. The authors substantiate this research work in a critical perspective (Saviani, Januzzi, Ferraro, Gatti). Methodology used in document analysis of all documents relating to special education in the municipality (laws, decrees, minutes of meetings, newspaper accounts municipal, school census data), as well as the use of interviewing people related to special education. The results point towards: a) the importance of the private institution, the philanthropic (Association of Parents and Friends of Handicapped-APAE) has since its inception until the present day, b) the absence of a project political intended for students with disabilities in primary schools in the municipality, c) the "absence" of a social movement of persons with disabilities in the county searched.

In this study, our goal was evaluate the interactive forces between the Atomic force microscope tip (AFM tip) and an important enzyme responsible to fatty acids synthesis in all living beings (Acetyl CoA Carboxylase - fic biosensors to detect pesticides molecules used in agriculture. The AFM tip can be functionalized through its oxidation with spacer molecules. In order to simulate computationally this modified AFM tip that was called surface spacer-agent (SSA) using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, the force field (FF) parameters had to be calculated. The FF parameters were obtained using quantum mechanical calculations and were implemented in an appropriate FF protocol. Three types of geometric molecular orientations of the ACCase were evaluated as a starting point to enzymatic immobilization, but only one was used to MD simulation. The criteria to define xyz orientation were basically based on the active sites from the ACCase enzyme are available to interact with molecules from the bulk and the surface contact area of the enzyme interacting with SSA ensure an strong interaction force to maintain the enzyme immobilized on the tip. Surface contact area, hydrogen bonds and protein stability were the parameters monitored during the MD trajectory as the enzymeherbicide interactions using a combination of molecular docking and molecular dynamics. The clusters formed using docking calculations in different regions along the ACCase enzyme were submitted to MD simulations in order to measure interactive energies of the system.
