The objective of this study was to construct and analyze the psychometric properties of an instrument capable of assessing the anticipatory coping skills for abstinence from substances. For the elaboration of items, 18 classes of the anticipatory coping skills as described in literature and obtained from interviews with people in abstinence from substances have been selected. Each one was described and subclasses, that could represent it, were drafted in the form of 92 items. After a semantic analysis and evidences of content validity made by referees, the instrument contains now 68 items. This version was submitted to tests to check application procedures and interpretation of responses, therefore another item was deleted, with others being rewritten. The instrument with 67 items was named Inventory of Anticipatory Coping Skills Inventory for the Abstinence from Alcohol and Other Drugs (IDHEA-AD, as in portuguese). To check evidences of its internal structure validity, it was subjected to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The samples for this stage were 422 people in treatment for alcohol or crack cocaine abuse or dependence. The data obtained were considered adequate for performing factorial analysis, with KMO index of 0.88 and significant Bartlett sphericity test (χ ² = 9032.1, p < 0.001). The Maximum Likelihood method of extraction was used with Promax rotation and variables with factorial loading lower than 0.40 supressed. A structure composed of three factors revealed itself adequate and reliable, with 30 items, Cronbach's alpha of 0.88 and total explained variance of 43.02%. The first factor, named "Assertiveness and planning for high-risk situations of substance use" is composed of 14 items with a Cronbach s alpha of 0.89 and mainly involves refusal skills to the offer of substances. The second, "Expression of positive feelings for abstinence sustenance" is related to ability to demonstrate affection, which contributes to the development of less stressful social situations. It has eight items and Cronbach s alpha of 0.83. Finally, the third factor "Emotional self-control facing adverse situations" involves mainly the self-control of anger, has eight items and Cronbach s alpha of 0.77. This structure also showed good evidence of convergent validity by construct-related (self-efficacy for abstinence), concurrent criterion validity (with level of involvement with the substance and abstinence length), reliability for temporal stability and reliability by consistency in relation to the content. Furthermore, as expected, it was observed that variables such as gender, educational level and type of consumed substance seem not to affect the obtained results. When using the instrument to characterize the repertoire of coping skills in substance dependents or abusers, only abstinence length has proved to be a critical variable. A longer abstinence is related to a higher repertoire of anticipatory coping skills. All results indicate the quality of the IDHEA-AD, which allows the proceeding of the investigation in order to meet the requirements set by the Federal Council of Psychology, so it can be used by professionals in the clinical evaluation.

This research aims to understand the function of the subject feminine at some films of Pedro Almodóvar. In order to do that, this research uses the archaeological theory of Michel Foucault (2012) and his understanding about statement , discursive meaning and archive . This research exposes aspects of this theoretical route to deal with the initial issues: what to elect in the analysis of a filmic collection, since the women are present in almost of the totality of the director‟s work? How to select and relate the filmic scenes and sequences in this universe of images in movement? In this sense, in the universe of twenty movies of Almodóvar, three of them were selected for this analysis: All about my mother (1999), Talk to her (2002) and Volver (2006). As a result, a constant speech that permeates all his work was identified: the practice among female subjects of taking care of their family . This statement, although it seems common, become astonishing in the movies of this director, because it‟s related to the construction of a speech very common nowadays at the Social Science: the new familiar formations derivative from the practices of female care .

In this term paper, we describe and analyze more systematically the questions that came up from the research project Práticas de escrita e de leitura na rede: uma análise das mensagens compartilhadas e dos procedimentos de sua formulação linguístico-discursivas, developed during our graduation, in which we study a kind of peculiar and current text, which presents itself as "phrases", some taken from literary works, which are to circulate autonomously in social networking pages, in particular, on Facebook. This operation (production, circulation and reception) implies certain changes in the practices of writing and reading today. Regarding this and its autonomous functioning and its particular characteristics, we classified these as shared messages. These are highlighted statements, especially of literary works, which are selected, adapted , added images , which have the effect of modifying to some extent the "meaning" of these statements . These messages are posted by the users on their personal pages or murals friends and even in communities or pages. To select these messages we use the homepage O Mundo de Caio Fernanado Abreu e Clarice Lispector that functions as a repository of shared messages of these two contemporary authors. In the course of our analysis in scientific research, one of the changes in which we are faced, and which we focus in this term paper, is relative to the operation of authorship in the composition of such messages. Several procedures for assigning authorship we see being employed in these shared messages, such as the mistaken attribution of authorship, the use of phrases in the source texts that would not necessarily part of the "work " of an author (interviews and letters), the attribution of authorship to the entire message and not just the phrase taken from the work of one author, etc. To identify this specific operation of authorship , for our analysis, we adopted as a research resource not only shared messages , but also the lifting of comments from readers who recognize the authorship, misattribution criticize, evaluate the text according to another scheme reception (not as a literary work , but as self-help ). For our analysis, we rely on theoretical principles of Discourse Analysis and Cultural History of Reading, based on both theories argue about the changes in the forms of production and circulation of texts. With our work we hope to contribute to the research on the practices of writing and reading today, so we raise some evidence of this new reader/author who emerges with the new digital technologies.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key factors in tumor progression that allow tumor cells to modify the extracellular matrix (ECM) and to release cytokines, growth factors being activated by cell surface molecules such as the integrins. Integrins are major adhesion receptors of cell surface that connect the cells to the external environment enabling its movement. Integrins activate signaling cascades that influence the adhesion, survival and cell proliferation. Important inhibitors of these molecules were found in snake venoms called disintegrins. Alternagin-C (ALT-C) a disintegrin from Rhinocerophis alternatus snake venom has affinity with α2β1 integrin therfore modulating cell adhesion, migration and proliferation. However, the effect of ALT-C on MMP activity has not been described yet. Here, we have found that, ALT-C increased cell migration in MDA-MB-231 at lower concentration (10 nM) and it decreased cell migration at higher concentrations (40, 100 and 1000 nM). ALT-C was able to inhibit MMP-9 activity in human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) conditioned medium and MMP-2 activity in fibroblastas and human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) conditioned medium. ALT-C also modulated the expression of angiogenic genes such as VEGF, c-MYC, MMP-2 and MMP-9 and it was able to inhibit transendothelial migration of MDA-MB-231 cells at all concentrations (10, 40, 100 and 1000 nM). In conclusion, ALT-C affects the extracellular matrix remodeling by modulating the activity of MMPs and expression of angiogenic genes essential for tumor growth as well as decreased cell migration.

Given the movement of national and international competitions, the fast technological advances, the reduction in life cycle of products on the market and greater demands for quality and services associated with products, product development has established itself as one of the business processes key to the growth and survival of businesses of various industrial sectors and has, over the years, becoming a powerful source of competitiveness for companies from various sectors. Toyota has developed and uses a product development model considered extremely competitive, which helped make it the largest automobile manufacturer in the world. This model is called Lean Development and is a worldwide reference. The model uses lean concepts, derived from Lean Thinking, in the product development process. Studies in international scope are being conducted in order to characterize, evaluate and apply this model in other companies, either automotive market or others different markets. This Thesis presents the results obtained by a survey carried out in manufacturing companies located at Brazil. The population was defined like innovative companies with product development area in the investigated site and with Lean Manufacturing applied for at leats five years. It is presented a descriptive analysis of the companies analyzed and a factorial analysis, which reduces the research variables in four contextual factors of Lean Development. A cluster analysis of the factors identified by the factorial analysis was performed and four groups of companies were founded. The groups were classified in relation to the product development process, according to literature. The results show that 38.2% of surveyed sample applies lean concepts (principles and tools) in both production system and product development process and approximately a half of surveyed sample (46.9%) applies only lean principles in production system, but does not migrate these principles to product development process. However, these last companies are the ones with the best results in product development.

The study of climate has gained importance in discussions about environmental changesbeing one of environmental aspects most affected by the anthropic actions. This paper aims to describe the characteristics of the atmospheric elements in Sorocaba - SP and São Miguel Arcanjo - SP, during the years 2010 and 2011. For this purpose was selected three episodes a fall in temperature, and two a sharp decrease in air humidity. Have been used daily data of maximum, average and minimum air temperature, relative air humidity, wind speed and precipitation volume of conventional and automatic weather stations of the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). The data analysis have been made from the rhythmic methodology developed by Monteiro (1971). Beyond the elaboration of the graphics synoptic maps were used to identify the field of atmospheric pressure and active systems to 12:00 GMT on the daily scale. Six didactic collections were also analyzed to identify as climate is studied in secondary school. Has been possible to observe variations on the elements between country and city, especially at medium and minimum temperatures and humidity, which is always superior in rural areas, except when the humidity fell abruptly. Already in didactic collections, it has been observed these are still working with the most traditional methodology considering the static notion of climate.

Geomembranes are polymeric sheets widely used in vinasse ponds to prevent contamination of soil. Long-term durability is expected, since failure can result in environmental impact. Smooth black commercial geomembranes and injected molded plaques manufactured using different polyethylene resins were exposed to hot and fresh vinasse at an ethanol plant. Mechanical, thermal and structural changes were evaluated along 245 days of exposure to the effluent. Results showed that geomembranes are in the first step of degradation process, when it is observed depletion of antioxidants with no modification of mechanical properties. First stage of service life in hot and fresh vinasse was estimated in 4,3 years for the geomembrane 1 mm thick and 5 years for geomembrane of 2 mm. For the injected molded plaques, service life was estimated in 4,4 up to 6 years for the resins compounded with 2,5% of carbon black. The longer durability was observed for the bimodal metallocene/octene-1 comonomer from Dow Solution polymerization process. Incipient degradation was observed after 153 days, which occurred preferentially in the lower molecular weight by branching. The proposed methodology, based on injected molded plaques and their exposure in the field conditions, was validated to assess the stage of antioxidants depletion of service life of different polyethylene resins.

The Science Teaching, spurred by the development of science and technology as well as the field of education, seeks paradigms that go beyond positivist approaches and linear knowledge production. Perceptions of the social dimensions of science and technology have led to this PhD study to realize a proposal within the dialogic Science Teaching and STS Education (Science, Technology and Society). Perceptions of the social dimensions of science and technology have led to this PhD study to realize a proposal within the dialogic Science Teaching and STS Education. The aim of this study is to verify the ownership of the theoretical framework of Paulo Freire in Science Teaching and Education CTS, represented by the scientific production of theses and dissertations and courses offered by the graduate. Represented by the research questions: How do I set the presence of referential Freire in STS Education and Teaching STS represented by the scientific production of theses and dissertations and the disciplines offered in graduate? What are the epistemological bases underpinning the theses in the field of Education and Higher Education STS adopted the theoretical Freire? The methodological procedures used include bibliometric research and epistemological analysis, with the construction of four matrices analysis, which reach the theoretical, epistemological, ontological and gnosiological of the studies analyzed. In bibliometric survey data collection was made on Bank CAPES thesis and Notebook Indicators Capes. To search for theses and dissertations search terms used were combinations of "STS Education" "Teaching STS" and "Science Education Paulo Freire. The data were processed in VantagePoint software and Excel ®. We analyzed 43 studies that used the theoretical perspective of Paulo Freire, 34 masters and nine doctoral. In Notebooks Indicators Capes data were collected from 57 subjects of 22 educational institutions in search of references related to Paulo Freire. Bibliometric analysis results indicate that the theses and dissertations are concentrated in the area of Education and Science and Mathematics at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Universidade de Brasília and São Paulo University. To relate data from the Bank of Theses and Notebooks Indicators analyzed data from UFSC, UNB and USP with the literature of the subjects of their graduate programs, identifying literature Paulo Freire used: Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Pedagogy Autonomy. The epistemological analysis was performed by analysis of three matrices: 1) matrix ownership Freire's theoretical framework, 2) matrix paradigmatic STS , and 3) analysis matrix epistemological framework Freire. Results of the research show that the epistemological bases underpinning the theses in the field of STS Education and Science Education adopted the theoretical Freire point to changes that include critical-dialectical approaches. Work on Science Education seeks to revise the linear and positivist paradigm to which they are subjected. And work in STS Education /Science Teaching clarifies their limitations and seeks complementarity with the pedagogical thinking of Paulo Freire. Built in a humanistic and critical, the subject of knowledge is central, built and socio-historically mediated world. This study aims to add knowledge to the studies Freirean of Science Teaching and STS Education, in the sense that their results contribute to the expansion of critical mass on the need for theoretical research in Science Teaching in STS perspective.

This work aims to analyze the media statements about the "new": analyzing the discourse that older objects and knowledge that are not yet unusable. To do so, we will try to tread a path through the theoretical issue of consumption (before becoming consumerism), trying to analyze historically the conversion process of enduring relationships (with objects, people, knowledge etc.) in ephemeral relationships, from discourse of obsolescence. Once defined and analyzed the theoretical framework, we will analyze three discursive materiality (in order: the movie "The Last Laugh", the advertising campaign "Intel Ultrabook Convertible", and the movie "The Devil Wears Prada") with the intention of analyzing the discourse about the "new" and obsolescence.

The central theme of this research consists on the theoretical foundation research in Education. The overall objective was to realize a bibliometric and epistemological analysis of the doctoral theses of the Post-Graduate Program in Education UFSCar, to determine the epistemological paradigm that predominated in such research and thus explain the relationship between the production of scientific PPGE-UFSCar and the changes that occurred in the socio-historical context and also in research on education in Brazil from the 1990s. The empirical research that has limited the scientific production of the PPGE Doctoral Course in Area of Concentration in Foundations of Education, the theses defended in the period between 1993 and 2007, totaling 55 theses. As the theoretical framework, although this work presents the different epistemological paradigms that underlie research in Education, was designed specifically for Dialectical Historical Materialism. Regarding methodology, this research is exploratory and descriptive, it was dedicated to identify and analyze the scientific production selected. For this end, we employed the following techniques: a) bibliometric analysis to treat and analyze quantitatively the scientific consist of the 55 theses; b) content analysis to determine the theoretical and methodological framework that guided the research techniques as well as epistemological, ontological and ethical present in the process of knowledge production; c) analysis of questionnaires completed by faculty advisors, and its main publications, expanding the discussion on the theoretical present in the production of scientific PPGE. Sources of research data were: a) the theses obtained in Community Library UFSCar and file PPGE-UFSCar as well as the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations of BCo/UFSCar; b) the Bank of Theses and Terms Indicators of the CAPES, which provided information about thesis bibliometric; c) the curricula of Plataforma Lattes of doctoral students and faculty mentors; d) questionnaires answered by faculty advisors and their major publications. The search result is provided in three parts, the first being a historical overview of educational research in Brazil, located in the educational context and broader social, then notes on the philosophical foundations of the major paradigms used in educational research, and finally the third part presents the elements of analysis of scientific production, the object of the research context, and the procedures and results of analysis of doctoral theses. Results reveal the dominance of the paradigm of Historical Materialism Dialectic, used in over 63 % of the theses, followed by post-modern trends, used in 30 % of searches, and Phenomenology, used in three theses. No thesis used Positivism as epistemological paradigm. These ratings were corroborated by the epistemological, ontological and ethical assumptions, as well as by references to authors and works connected to these paradigms.

In the activity of supplying sugar cane to the mills in Brazil, there are governance structures differentiated between plants and also for the same plant. These structures range from the highest level of hierarchy vertical integration, in which the plant produces its own fields in the raw material for its supply to the less of hierarchy spot market, in which the plant gets the sugar cane from outside farmers without contracts or commitments with the following crops. Between these two extreme governance structures have been identified other supply arrangements called hybrids. The main objective of this thesis is to identify the factors that influence the choice of governance structures present in the supply of sugar cane in a given group of mills in the West region of São Paulo/BR State. The specific objectives are to: a) show what determines the representativeness of each governance structure in the mills selected in the West region of the state of São Paulo; b) identify the existence of plural forms; c) analyze the factors that justify the option in the mills for plural or singular forms of governance in the same type of transaction in the region West of the state of São Paulo; and d) compare the supply strategies of the plants of western São Paulo. This analysis was performed under the focus of the New Institutional Economics literature, especially dealing with the characteristics of transactions Transaction Cost Economics. The research is characterized, as the social group as explanatory research. To this end, it was applied an interview to the decision makers for supplying of raw material in the mills that represent a group of ten unities located in the west of São Paulo by competing for suppliers and land . It was observed that the characteristics of the transactions locational and temporal specificity, uncertainty and frequency are not determinative for the choice of governance structures, as recommended by the literature of transaction costs. These same characteristics make plants adopt formal mechanisms, provided for in contracts, and informal control transactions. The characteristics of transactions in supply of sugarcane exclude one of the governance structures observed in the literature the spot market but do not determine the uniqueness of others. The results also indicate that the plurality of transactions that serve the same purpose is common in the units studied and is related to the history of these plants, the need to eliminate some uncertainty in the supply and the balance between risks and disadvantages of singular forms. The singular forms, observed in only one case, appeared only as a function of need for financial restructuring of the company. Finally, it was noted that there is a significant diversity of arrangements for the supply of sugarcane in western São Paulo, hampering the framework of the structures observed in this research that was presented in the literature so far.

The present research aims to identify the contributions of the discipline Methodology and Practice of Mathematics Teaching on the Training of teachers who teaches mathematics in the early years of Elementary School. The research was developed in the Post Graduation in Education at Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), Campus Sorocaba, connected to the search line "Teacher Training and Educational Practices" and integrates discussions from Project Education Observatory OBEDUC 2012. In terms of theoretical reference for addressing the models of teacher training were used the studies of CURI (2004), GATTI (2010), CURI & PIRES (2008), FOERSTE (2005), FIORENTINI (1995) e COCHRAN & LYTLE (1999). It is structured from an analysis qualitative and interpretative from the catalog and the teaching plan, as part of the material produced by the protagonists students of the discipline Methodology and Practice of Teaching Mathematics, offered on the period 8th Pedagogy course at UFSCar Campus Sorocaba, besides the script of classes held. To substantiate the analysis were used theoretical references that deal with the conceptual and didactic aspects to the teaching of mathematics. In that perspective were considered the contributions of the studies of NUNES (2005); SMOLE (2001); TOLEDO & TOLEDO (1997); FREITAS (2001), TANCREDI (2012), LORENZATO (1995) e FIORENTINI & LORENZATO (2006). The results given point that the conduction of the discipline in the colaborative perspective, presented some alternatives for concrete changes of the practice and opened possibilities for new meaning in vocational training, regarding the teaching of mathematics. The articulation between dialog, negotiation, mutuality and trust ran through all the classes and thereby it was possible to reach the goals initially proposed by the discipline in a positive and enriching way.

In this PhD work, the building of a PLD (Pulse Laser Deposition) system was accomplished with resources provided by FAPESP / CEPID / CMDMC, for the purpose of depositing thin films using an 248 nm pulsed excimer laser as external power source. The project presented here demonstrates that this work has the distinction of being a pioneer in Brazil in which says respect to superconducting thin film deposition trough PLD technique. Deposition of YBCO (YBa2Cu3O7-δ) thin films was the process chosen by us to calibrate and test the assembled system, as well as to learn the details of superconducting thin films deposition. The context of this work consists in a historical introduction to the laser deposition technique, comparison of techniques for thin film deposition trough physical methods and a brief review of the superconductivity theory and the theory of thin film growth. In the experimental part, we describe the assembly of the PLD system in detail, as well as we describe the analysis of the principal parameters that say respect to the technique and the fabrication of the targets utilized in the deposition. Finally, we describe the results of the characterization techniques applied to the study of thin films deposited by PLD. X ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and DC magnetic susceptibility measurements were used to analyze the superconducting thin films. Due to it pioneer condition, this work enables the Group of Materials and Devices (GMD - DF / UFSCar) as well as the CMDMC to engage in new research, not only in superconducting materials, but also in the fabrication of devices based on thin films, such as sensors, multi-components heterostructures, RAM memories, electrodes, polymers, biocompatible thin films, the GMR effect, graphene, among others, that can be fabricated precisely and controllably by the PLD technique.

The present research proposes to conduct a study on the field of Sociology of Education as presented in the theses and dissertations available in the CAPES Theses Database from the period from 1987 to 2011, based on bibliometric and scientometric approaches, in order to obtain a theoretical reflection on the field of Sociology of Education in Brazil that unfolds in the identification of: prime research topics in the field of Sociology of Education; aspects of sociological theory; the most influential authors and theoretical frameworks of reference in Sociology of Education. The data source was the CAPES Theses Database with contributions from BDTD/IBICT, the public domain and the digital libraries available for raw text access. The methodology was developed in four phases comprised of: construction of a theoretical reference; data collection in the CAPES Theses Database, BDTD, Public Domain Portal, description and categorization of survey data utilizing automated tools (the software programs Vantage Point and Excel) for the organization of the results obtained and subsequent analysis and interpretation. The chosen design consisted of two studies: Study 1: Bibliometric analysis of dissertations and theses in Sociology of Education with the aim of reporting the state of the art of the scientific production in this area; Study 2: Analysis of reference citations in light of theoretical approaches in Sociology of Education and Information Science, signifying the importance of combining different methodological perspectives to explore the same study object. In Study 1, we present the following results: the production of theses of dissertation occurred at some moments in an oscillating manner, but the increase was gradual throughout the studied period. The works at the Master s level predominated with 71% of the recovered records. With respect to distribution by institution and region, both indicators were found to be concentrated in the southeast region, that is, UFMG, PUC-SP and PUC-RIO were the most frequent institutions confirming the representativeness of this region in the national research. As to the administrative nature of the institutions, the Federal and Private institutions were predominant. The graduate programs that have most researched this topic indicate Education and Sociology given that Sociology of Education is the scientific field that has maintained historic relations with these areas. The most frequent theme is Education, followed by Sociology of Education. The Research Instigating Agencies that fund the most research studies are Capes and CNPq. The studies that did not receive financing correspond to 51% of the total, which indicates that these researchers are participating in the labor market. The female gender is present in 72% of the authorial credits in the dissertations and theses, confirming that women tend to predominate in the Human Sciences. Study 2 corresponds to the analysis of citations of books and chapters appearing in the theses and dissertations. The results show that in relation to the contemporaneousness of sources, the author shave relied on relatively recent literature, which can be explained based on the origin of Sociology of Education that, as a distinct field of Sociology, is relatively new; therefore, production in this area also tends to be new. As to book authorship, national and foreign authorial nuclei were identified. The most cited authors of the national nucleus are Maria Alice Nogueira, Paulo Freire, Florestan Fernandes and Demerval Saviani. The most cited in the foreign nucleus were Pierre Bourdieu, Émile Durkheim, Jean-Claude Passeron, Bernard Lahire and Michel Foucault. The most cited book title was A reproduction: elements for a teaching system theory , authored by Pierre Bourdieu and Jean-Claude Passeron. As to language indicators for the books and chapters, Portuguese predominated in the two sources. The editors of the books and chapters cited indicated Editor Voices as predominant in the most cited publications. In reference to authorship of book chapters, Pierre Bourdieu was the author of the majority of chapters cited. The indicator on authorship of books that integrate the chapters of books identified Maria Alice Nogueira as the most frequent author. The most mentioned chapter title was The conservative school: the inequalities facing the school and the culture, and is authored by Pierre Bourdieu; the books that integrate the book chapters presented the title Escritos de Educação (Writings from Education), organized by Maria Alice Nogueira and Afrânio Catani as the most cited. The data resulting from the three authorship indicators (authorship of books, authorship of chapters and authorship of books that integrate the chapters) constitute the research front found to be identified by 21 authors, 15 of whom are Brazilian and six foreign, that constitute the principle theoreticians and researchers that contribute to the theoretical underpinning that sustains the development of research studies in Sociology of Education in the production of theses and dissertations in Brazil. Through citation analysis, it was highlighted that the bourdieusian approaches are most often utilized as a theoretical referential in Sociology of Education theses and dissertations. The studies presented here in indicate the most influential authors and theoretical frameworks of reference utilized by the authors of theses and dissertations to support their research Sociology of Education and how they configure the national graduates cenario in Brazil.

This thesis aims to analyze the contributions of the Journal of the Institute of History and Geography of São Paulo (RIHGSP) for history of Brazilian education through an analysis of articles published in this journal between 1895 and 2004. The motivation for the study came from the fact that despite the importance of Geographical and Historical Institutes for national historiography, which can be proven by numerous academic studies conducted, there is a gap in the historiography of Brazilian education regarding the use of these journals institutes as primary sources for the history of education. Therefore, this thesis aims to answer the following research question: what are the contributions of RIHGSP for the History of Education in Brazil? The justification for this research is grounded in the understanding that the study of scientific production in the pages of this magazine is relevant to the reconstruction of their own national historiography and to demonstrate the role that information sources play in dissemination of information and the development of the research scientific education. Thus , the main objective of the research was to highlight the contributions of RIHGSP to the historiography of Brazilian education , and the specific objectives were : a) outline a historical overview of Geographical and Historical Institutes in national and world stage standing in this context the History Institute and Geography of São Paulo , b ) describe the main features of the Journal of the Historical and Geographical Institute of São Paulo ( RIHGSP) c ) analyze this scientific production according to bibliometric parameters of authorship, thematic and temporal distribution; d) conduct a content analysis of a selected sample of 20 articles RIHGSP related to the theme of the history of education. From the methodological point of view the research was characterized as an exploratory and descriptive study. The analytical approaches were supported in the bibliometric analysis and content analysis and involved the following steps: literature review, collection, organization and systematization of data and analysis and interpretation of results. Thus, it was possible to obtain scientific evidence to demonstrate that the texts published in RIHGSP, are key to the history and historiography of Brazilian education, because they allow understanding how the literate elite - represented by intellectuals who publish articles in this journal - thought education Brazilian.

Bioluminescent beetles are common for their wide distribution in the world, but the composition of the fauna of these organisms is still unknown to most of the areas where they occur. Brazil is the country with the largest number of cataloged species of bioluminescent insects, but studies of faunal surveys, which allow observing the composition of the assemblies of these insects, with the aim of monitoring impacts in natural areas has only recently been realized. The present study focuses on the artificial night lighting as a possible impact on assemblies of bioluminescent beetles. To the knowledge of the fauna of luminous beetles in the State of São Paulo, surveys were conducted by sampling at three sites of the Atlantic Forest in the SA of Paranapiacaba. The species found were: Aspisoma lineatum, Aspisoma physionotum, Aspisoma sp., Cratomorphus beskei, Cratomorphus giganteus, Photinoides penai, Photinus sp1, Photinus sp9, Ethra aff. malledicta ou axilaris, Ethra aff. adicta, Cladodes demoulini, Cladodes flabelicornis, Amydetes sp., Bicellonycha sp., Bicellonycha sp8, Pyrogaster lunifer, Pyrogaster moestus, Pyrogaster sp3 ref. (PORTO, 2011), Photuris elliptica, Photuris sp1, Photuris sp7 Stenophrixotrix sp1, Brasilocerus sp1, Phrixotrix hirtus, Pseudophengodes sp1, Hapsodrilus pyrotis, Pyroptesis cincticollis, Ptesiomopsia luculenta, Pyrearinus candelarius, Pyrearinus micatus e Pyrophorus divergens. The investigated area in SA Paranapiacaba has the second highest species richness of bioluminescent insects of the state of São Paulo until now. From the cluster analysis was done with the data obtained in the field and published data to categorize areas as more and less urbanized was possible to deduce a dependence relationship between species and area in which they can occur. Like other studies, lower richness of bioluminescent beetles in more urbanized areas was observed, we chose a species to investigate the possible effects of artificial lighting. For the study we used the method of counting grid in two similar areas, where only one had artificial lighting. Was possible to compare the data obtained from the two sites with randomization of the same data through a robust non-parametric test, thereby we verified that the sample populations showed no number of different occurrences, the p value is not significant (t=1,780787, R=5000, P=0,059988). We conclude that Bicellonycha lividipennis is not sensitive to ligth of sodium vapor lamps. So this species is not a good indicator species to light pollution for this type of light source. The bioluminescence spectra and the sodium light were superimposed; a possible explanation for that B. lividipennis is not sensitive to light sodium is the activity of the species which is relatively early when there is still strong lighting of twilight.

This study aimed at analyzing the productive dynamics of the Ibitiúva Rural Settlement (Ibitiúva State Settlement) located in the municipality of Pitangueiras, São Paulo, Brazil, and characterized by a production system based on supplying sugar cane to the processing station from the majority of the settled producers. The work presented the following specific objectives in its investigation: causes which lead the producers to leasing their lands to supply sugar cane to the processing station; history of the producers lives and their perspectives regarding the future of this sugar cane supplying system; alternatives for new sustainable production arrangements for the settled, meeting the environmental, social and economic criteria, from an alternative system based on the diversity of rural production in contrast to sugar cane monoculture, grounded on associative activities between the associates, with the objective of increasing their autonomy in relation to other power instances; insufficiency of municipal public politics focused on the rural settlements by the municipality of Pitangueiras. For a better understanding of this system based on supplying agricultural raw material by the settled for a sugar producing agroindustrial unit, we performed an analysis of general economic context, comprehending the following subjects: the Complexo Rural ao Agroindustrial; Green Revolution; the Agrarian Reform and the formation of settlements in Brazil; Agricultural, Rural and Local Development; and Economic Politics destined to Agriculture. Subsequently, the study analyzed the main characteristics of the Ibitiúva Rural Settlement, highlighting its formation, origin of the settled and its socio-economic characteristics. Furthermore, the study analyzed the conditions in which the food production activities for self-consumption and commercialization are performed, which are secondary in regard to the planting system for supplying the processing station. Finally, the research investigated the main characteristics of this supplying system, highlighting its environmental, social and economic limitations through the contrast represented by their debatable monetary gains for the settled suppliers in contrast to an alternative of agriculture based on food diversity and associative production and commertialization structures.

The work developed by specialized teachers, in Multifunctional Resource Rooms with students of special education is still unknown. The Multifunctional Resource Rooms are being implemented in public schools throughout Brazil. In order to produce knowledge about this topic, we investigated what specialized teachers who work at Multifunctional Resource Rooms publish on their blogs about the work performed in these rooms, and the experiences related to this service. Blogs were chosen as the data source, as blogs allow the common citizen to be a participative witness, in other words, people can publish texts without an editor. In this perspective, the problem of this study is configured from the following questions: Considering the Public Policies are recent, what have the specialized teachers published about specialized educational service on the internet? What is their perception considering this service? Is it possible to find out the practices of these teachers through blogs? This research aimed to describe and analyze through Text Semiotics what teachers who work with special education publish on their personal blogs and how they construct images of themselves and of the multifunctional resource rooms. The specific objectives were (a) identify on the teacher‟s discourse the experiences which have been evidenced in the educational specialized services; (b) analyze how are the practices directed to the issue of inclusive education in Brazilian education, in multifunctional resource rooms. Tem texts written by Brazilian specialized teachers were analyzed from the discursive level of Text Semiotics. The following categories were analyzed: space described in the text; actors and actants , time of enunciation; figures (concrete elements on the text ) and themes (abstract elements inferred from the figures). It was concluded that the image constructed by these teachers is hero and agents of change of multifunctional resource rooms, as this service depends on their actions to work. From the signs which are on the teacher‟s discourse, it is observed that they have internalized the policies discourse, and the teaching work in multifunctional resource rooms is predominantly focused on the student.

Early career, presented by its complexity, is still in a little explored topic in the world of teacher education. Given the importance of conducting research on the period and the interest in the implementation of actions directed to the initial and continuing training and start teaching, we intend, in this study, know and understand the pedagogical practices of a novice teacher of Physical Education and sources that influence the construction of knowledge in the course of his career. Based on this goal, we reflect on the teacher beginner, the characteristics and implications of this period, initial training in Physical Education, the dimensions of the processes of learning and professional development and teacher knowledge. Similarly, we contextualize Physical Education resuming its historical trajectory to provide visibility and understanding of the constitution of the area, we situate the various trends, we present the construction of the concept of body culture, based our education on a full-length, legislation for Physical Education and studies on the teaching of physical education in the early years of elementary school. Subsidized by qualitative research, we developed a case study with a Physical Education teacher in her fourth year of professional experience in the early years in two schools in the school system of the State Secretary of Education of São Paulo (SSE-SP) in Bauru. We conducted observations, interviews, analyzing documents, we characterize the teacher, contextualize schools and present how the analysis axes were constructed. Based on analyzes of the axes "school subject", "nature of practices: organization, reasoning and evaluation", "teachers dilemmas" and "challenges of physical education in school interventions, relationships and perspectives", consider the participant, not as a beginner teacher, but as a teacher of early career by moving between developing practices successful and some conflicts commonly experienced in the period from entry into teaching, evidence that generally are not defined by the literature on the subject. Such practices are based on a contextualized and interdisciplinary teaching perspective, redefines student learning beyond the procedures. The dialogue with the literature, exchanges with peers, courses and previous experiences reveal the intentionality of the actions of participants and their commitment to the students and the training itself. As a result, their practices relate to the characteristics of a good teacher and an experienced teacher and confirmed the need for public policies to understand the teacher as builder and transmitter of knowledge, to take ownership of this knowledge to propose actions to facilitate training and optimize the process of learning and professional development, helping to ease the hardships of his early career. Also, we intuit that this study may contribute to the early reflections essential to systematize guidelines for public policies for initial and continuing training of physical education teachers who work and who will act in the early years of elementary education in the schools of SSE-SP, and concomitantly promote new dialogues on pedagogical practices of teachers of Physical Education beginners.

The quest for sustainable development is becoming more widespread among government, private organizations and members of civil society, motivated primarily by environmental imbalance and social problems. So the companies conceptualize measure and work toward sustainability and it has become the goal of many of these organizations. This research aimed to analyze how large retail supermarkets companies, that have operation in Brazil, measure their practices aimed at sustainable development. It was carried out during the research, a review of theory and the multiple case studies exploratory; it realized the data collection through public documents (Sustainability reports). First, it’s analyzed 32 reports of 3 retail businesses for several years. It was analyzed as indicators of sustainability are reported by companies in the sector, it was also assessed developments in the application of sustainability reporting in retail and sustainability dimension is prioritized in the reporting of organizational management. It observed a non- regular reporting on sustainability in the periods analyzed, companies report a higher number of indicators related social issues and despite the use of the GRI indicators, the companies had different interpretations about the same indicators. Thus, it identified that companies need to improve their reports and using the external validation (audit) to ensure the transparency and quality of sustainable reporting, enabling the retail supermarket companies to act towards a sustainable management.
