In evaporative condenser production, galvanized steel has become the most suitable material for piping system production, since it has high corrosion resistance and relative low commercial value. With proper surface treatment, it is possible to make aluminum an efficient alternative for the replacement of galvanized steel on these refrigeration equipment. In this work, thermal spray and organic coating spray were used to cover an aluminum substrate in order to achieve a material condition with better corrosion resistance and better thermal properties. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open circuit potential were used to evaluate different surface coatings performance. Microstructural characterization of the coatings was made through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and confocal microscope. Electrochemical tests showed that a coating composed of an inner layer of NiCr and external layer of AA1100 aluminum alloy applied by thermal spraying is not effective for the protection of aluminum tubes exposed to an alkaline environment with pH above 10.5, as in evaporative condensers piping system. Yet the coating comprised of a AA1100 aluminum alloy applied by thermal spraying and subsequent application of epoxy resin is a viable alternative for this application.

Mathematics, from the beginning of the schooling process, has occupied important position in the basic training of the citizen, as is present in different activities of our daily life and it is required in almost all selection processes, being so much educational or vocational. Over the past decades, the teaching of Geometry has been neglected in school curricula. An example is the observation that the Geometry is usually work object of the teacher in the classroom only in the last quarter of the year, so when it does not claim lack of time to present it to students, relegating it to oblivion. In addition, many students say that school Mathematics is too theoretical, it has no application in their everyday lives and, consequently, lose interest in studying it and learn it. The research reported here aimed to investigate a strategy didactic and methodological basis for the teaching-learning part of Euclidean Geometry students of 2nd year of high school, a public school in a city in the state of São Paulo. Specifically, the main objective of this research was the development of educational material that exploits mainly the geometric concepts of area, perimeter and scales present in the planning and definition of plant and model of a house from the informal knowledge of the non-professional area, such as masons, carpenters and workmen. Through a sequence of learning activities, originating from problems of construction, sought to integrate motivational elements and creative development of geometrical concepts related to construction the historical elements in the process of teaching and learning. For this was also used in this research plant construction models in the search for ease of viewing and understanding of geometrical concepts studied by students.

In today's society, the increasing integration of Science, Technology and its products in the life of the citizen demands that he be scientifically literate, able not only to understand these issues but make conscious use of its products, taking position autonomously and critique about them. Whereas the school is still the largest area of education systematized, it is in this space that much of the population will acquire the knowledge necessary to function in the world. However, our model of teaching is still highly introductory and marked by the transmission of decontextualized knowledge and, for that, has not cooperated effectively to form the citizen that the current society needs. This form of teaching usually reaches the Degree Courses, forming a professional within a single and totalitarian conception of science, which invariably will be passed on to their students. Seeking to build with the undergraduates another way to think of science, technology and its relations with society, this research conducted an insertion activity in the discipline of Supervised Stage II, that in Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus / Bahia, is exclusively devoted to spaces of Non-Formal Education, using either the assumptions of scientific literacy, STS curricular perspective and later the Freire s ideas to build another model of science education that takes into consideration the situations of exclusion and helps to fight against the inequalities of Brazilian society. The objectives of this research were to identify theoretical and methodological elements of these theoretical references in educational practices developed by undergraduates, organized in the form of extension projects; to verify possible changes in their conceptions about teaching and science in this training context and to investigate how undergraduates recognize the possibilities of incorporating these references in the context of Formal and Non-Formal Education. The interviews with undergraduates, as well as the projects developed by them reveal that there is still great resistance to a science education that considers nonscientific aspects such as socials, economics, cultural, political etc., and although some recognize that this way of teaching has space within the non-Formal Education, the image of Formal Education that they have, does not allow them to consider innovations such as a more integrated education in this space. However, many undergraduates believes the insertion of STS perspective into the classroom at all levels, and also aspire a more humanized teaching and connected to the real context within the university itself. Experiences such as these show that innovation, creativity and real life itself can be incorporated into teaching practice of these future teachers, since they are formed in this way.

The main objective of this research is to analyze the A Nova Política do Brasil a compilation of pronouncements of the Vargas First Government, between 1930-1945 , and the central themes that was broadly debated by the specialized literature of the period about the position of the Vargas First Government regarding politics, state and economy. For the first element, it is pointed out the discussions about democracy, liberalism and organicism. For the second, and related to the first, the questions of the state centralization and intervention, bringing up the idea of that state configuration. Finally, the last element, intermingled with the two firsts and separated only for analytical reasons , that evoke a discussion about the economic transformations occurred along that period, and expressed in the tensions of the agrarian vocation e industrial vocation debate. Struggle that had as result the industrial development inclination. Despite this dilemma had been pointed consensually by specialized literature, the comprehension of that process dynamics and solutions are dissensual, generating various interpretations about the theme. Thus, the proposal of this thesis is to understand the 1930-1945 period as a process in construction, moving the controversies to the idea of process, trying to get how this has occurred in the level of the relations between the actors involved. We choose focuses on state, for sake of its role of protagonist broadly recognize by the experts of the period. We aggregated to this discussion a closer look upon the Vargas first government too, taken here as a catalyst of the new pact of alliances that was forming along the period, whose definition resulted of disputes in political field. Thus, this makes plausible the analysis of discursive production of that government condensed in A Nova Política. For this intention, it was called upon to the Gramsci s ideas in relation to the process, structure and conjuncture and to Pocock and his suggestions about the interfaces between text and context.

La materialización de la política lingüística prevista por el MERCOSUR alcanzó su punto álgido, en Brasil, con la Ley 11.161 / 2005 y, en Argentina, con la Ley 26.468 / 2009. Las respectivas leyes proponen la enseñanza del portugués y el español como lenguas extranjeras en sus estados miembros, respectivamente, en términos muy similares. Es precisamente la forma en que estos Estados intervienen en estos idiomas, en el sentido de implementar una política deseada para el MERCOSUR, lo que observamos en nuestra investigación, en la que analizamos las regularidades y discontinuidades encontradas en los procesos de presentación, procesamiento y sanción. Ley 11.161) y Ley 26.468 (Argentina). Para esta investigación utilizamos el marco teórico de las áreas de Política Lingüística y Análisis del Discurso de línea francesa. En el caso de la Ley 11.161, tuvimos como punto de partida el trabajo de Fernanda Castelano Rodrigues (2012) sobre el archivo legal y legislativo sobre la enseñanza de lenguas en el Sistema Educativo Brasileño. Intentando establecer relaciones entre el objeto analizado por Rodrigues y el proceso legislativo que condujo a la sanción del derecho argentino, nuestra investigación encontró regularidades en estos procesos y en su discurso. Buscando principalmente equivalencias entre los documentos que conforman los archivos legales y legislativos de los dos países, fue posible observar regularidades genéricas entre la justificación en el discurso legislativo brasileño y los “fundamentos” o “informes” en Argentina. En un segundo paso, confirmamos la equivalencia entre estos documentos a partir de tres características que Rodrigues detectó en el discurso del documento brasileño: “discurso sobre”, “efecto de circularidad y completitud” y “relaciones con el exterior”. Fue a partir de esta caracterización que pudimos encontrar regularidades y discontinuidades entre la Justificación brasileña y el Informe argentino a partir de dos focos de análisis: foco en la importancia del lenguaje y foco en la integración, que, por un lado, determinó la aprobación de la ley en cada uno de estos estados nacionales y, por otro lado, contribuyó a resaltar la forma en que las relaciones entre Brasil y Argentina se configuran en el ámbito del MERCOSUR.

The making of this paper was motivated by an interest in issues concerning the formation of (future) elementary math teachers through distance education and, in a more specific way, the role tutors play in this learning mode. The question that led our investigation was: Which online tutors actions in subjects that involve mathematics in a distance Pedagogy course allow us to identify them as teachers educators? Our theory referential approached issues on the formation of teachers in Pedagogy through discussions over mathematical formation in these courses, over the tutor s role and over the peculiarities of distance education, mainly regarding collective teaching. All data were collected in the Pedagogy course through distance education at Universidade Federal de São Carlos, an affiliate institution to the Brazilian Open University System (Sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil). The object of the study allowed us to perform a case study which aims to develop knowledge by focusing a specific case and is represented in this study by online tutors work organization. The data that compose this research are questionnaires answered by tutors and students, material that is available online, interviews given by tutors, documents and Brazilian legislation regarding distance education as well as documentation on the organization of the university s distance courses. The analysis of the data took aspects of content analysis into consideration and was performed in a qualitative method. The tutors that were part of the research performed actions that allowed us to identify them as teachers educators in different moments: when they respected specific characteristics of distance education, when they approached issues regarding mathematics content and its teaching and when they acted independently during the collective teaching process. Besides their involvement with students formation, tutors acted as educators when they got involved in their own formative process and had a reflexive view on their own performances, on the course and on the distance education of mathematics. Working conditions, the way the coordination team organized the tutors work and the way each educator conducted his work influenced the tutors performances. After conducting the analysis, it was possible to consider that the quality of a teacher formation distance course is closely related to online tutors work organization and to the possibility that he/she plays the role of a teachers educator. Therefore the aspects that enable this performance must be kept, amplified and qualified and the ones that make the practice difficult must be discussed and minimized.

The analysis of an industrial cluster has become the main discussion to explain the firm agglomerations success worldwide in the last decade. This discussion has given a bigger dimension in economic terms, especially about the strategic management of the local productive chains. This paper aims to contribute to the theoric development of the theme by the proposition of an industrial cluster typology method considering that the set of local variables related to the firms characteristics are essential for the strengthening of the interfirms relationship and consequently their performance. The theoretical basis of this study are the types of clusters found in literature and the research object are the footwear firms (CPCF) from Franca S. Paulo state. The data analysis used was the descriptive statistics tecnicques as well as multivaried exploratory methods. From the theoretical view this study enabled the identification of multiple characacteristics derived from different cluster typologies within the same productive chain. Which extended the perpective about the strategic role played by the local cooperation and also offered the possibility of the managers and institution representatives reflect on the governance principles adopted in collective actions.

The demotivation observed in the students concerning Physics led to the searching for a theoretical referential which could guide this pedagogical work. So, one understands the importance of Science teaching that contributes to a full formation of a conscious citizen that knows how to use their scientific knowledge with social responsibility. One looked for understand the difficult presented in the process of teaching and learning of Physics, focusing mainly in its important relation with Mathematics. For this, supported by PCN, it was analyzed the relation existing between the abilities and competences used in Math and Physics teaching. One also considered in the research, the different stages existing in Science learning, from which one understood the necessity of reaching the multidimensional stage in our schools. From this view, and supported by bibliographic references, it was pointed the existence of four main difficulties presented in the learning process of this subject. They are the difficulties inherent to Physics teaching, which started with the exceeding, premature and almost exclusive use of Math. There are also difficulties arising from Math learning that affect the learning of Physics. The difficulties from Portuguese language domain presented by students when reading, writing and interpreting scientific texts, limit the qualitative understanding of the subject and consequently, its conceptual understanding can be impaired. The existence of epistemological barriers, which arise from the different approaches of its own conceptual body also influence negatively the teaching and learning process of Physics. Supported by this perspective, the following question was done: What should one has to learn to teach, so the classes of Science, Physics and its integration with Math can make the knowledge more significant and, so that, multidimensional stage could be reached? The bibliographic analysis led to work in a theoretical basis with The Mental Models from Johnson-Laird . Using this theoretical support, it was elaborated and applied a didactic sequence, which was developed considering the difficulties in learning that were analyzed in this work. It was looked for understanding qualitatively the results obtained with the application of this didactic sequence. This process led to the elaboration of some topics, which were considered to be relevant in the preparation of a pedagogical activity for the teaching and learning process to be really relevant and, thus, contribute with a full citizen formation and a truly significant learning.

The stress shielding phenomenon, resulting from the large difference between materials usually employed in prosthesis and the femur Young modulus, promotes significant bone mineral density loss, which originates several complications after hip arthroplasty. In this work, cervical-diaphisary angle and stem length influence over the mechanical stimulus for the bone remodelling, besides the effect of the low modulus alloy adoption, were evaluated by numerical simulation using the finite element method. In order to validate the computational model, a circular polariscope bending test was proposed, aming to photoelastic stress analysis. Results obtained on numerical simulation and on tests with optical monitoring seem to be both well enough confluent. It can be said that stem length reduction caused considerable increase in load transfer to femur, while cervical-diaphisary angle reduction did not produce so relevant effect. The employment of a low modulus stem, on the other side, really provided the elevation of load transfer to femur on higher levels than it has been achieved by the redesign of prosthesis geometrical features. It is understood that the combination of numerical simulation and photoelastic stress analysis may clearly contribute on an improvement of hip prosthesis design and registration process at ANVISA.

Most of electronic devices use diodes and transistors based on semiconductors. For a people better relationship and understanding these technologies, is important to know some basic principles in what these devices are based. There are several official documents and academic researches related with this theme, always exalting of the need teach concepts of Modern Physics - especially those related to Quantum theory - for high school students. The goal of this work was the production of four short videos, whose intention was explain semiconductor concepts for high school students. In this master thesis is described the process of screenplay s production, videos recording and its presentation on two classes of High School last grade of a private school in Uberaba-MG. After each video s presentation, a questionnaire with Likert s items was given to students for measure their attitude with reference to the concepts presented in these four videos. The questionnaires results were analyzed from theory point of view, and the proposed goal has been achieved.

Considering the importance of information and knowledge socialization in the present day context and the essentiality of the production of knowledge for producing science, access to quality and reliable information remains crucial. The field of Knowledge Organization and Representation (KOR) of Information Science offers the theoretical-practical approach available for the production, processing and retrieval of information and knowledge in the society, considering the treatment of information as a complementary linkage between the production and the very use of information. The main purpose of the present exploratory-descriptive qualitative-quantitative and theoretical-practical study was conduct a research of library functions in the thematic treatment of information in the retrieval systems of information units through subject cataloging in online collective catalog, with focus on subject analysis. In the design of the study, the following specific objectives were set: a) to investigate the process of subject cataloguing in online collective catalogs as well as the process of indexing in databases; b) to evaluate the documentary indexing in the context of information retrieval systems of university libraries; 3) to discuss the practice of subject cataloguing and the indexing process in order to improve professional practice in the thematic treatment of information in the context of university libraries. First, the study offers some theoretical perspectives for the dialogue between the fields of Science, Technology and Society (STS) and the field of Information Science (IC), in view of the area of Knowledge Organization and Representation (KOR). Second, it presents the elements of science and technology policy in university libraries and the retrieval systems of units of information, especially the university libraries online collective catalogs and the databases of specialized scientific areas. Finally, it presents the information subject treatment (IST) in the domain of Information Science, considering the importance of this process in information retrieval for users and researchers from the academic context. After reviewing the literature, the Verbal Protocol (VP) analysis in the modality of Individual Verbal Protocol (IVP) was used as a qualitative method for collecting data from the librarians who work in information retrieval systems in Health, to observe the cognitive processes of documental analysis (document type: Doctoral thesis) in the subject cataloguing in the online collective catalog DEDALUS (USP) and to perform the indexing process in LILACS database (BIREME). Additionally, indexing evaluation (IE) was used as a quantitative method to measure and to evaluate the intrinsic/extrinsic aspects of the indexing process, in the modality the Intra-indexer consistency or Intralibrarian taking into account the lack of verticalized studies that use this method. The sample of the study comprised three public university libraries from the University of São Paulo: Library of the School of Dentistry, Library of the School of Public Health and Library of the Institute of Psychology 5 subjects (2 catalogers, 2 indexers and 1 cataloger-indexer) were studied. The results indicated low rates of intraconsistency between the processes of subject cataloguing and subject indexing in the libraries, however, in the average reported in the literature. The conclusion of the study highlights the importance of considering interdisciplinarity in scientific, technological and social fields between the two scientific spheres, in view of the complexity of information flow and knowledge in society.

The purpose of this study is to find and compare in the works of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda (1936) and Oliveira Vianna (1949) the reasoning which tries to demonstrate that the essential ideological uniqueness of the Brazilian individual has been able to create a certain ethos that would eventually consolidate itself in the structuration of a state that holds a specific set of characteristics. In other words, we try to determine which arguments were used by the authors in order to demonstrate that the state is a product of sociabilities, and these, products of specific individuals.

The demand for improving the health care services from social actors (Government, Insurance Companies, Patients and Payers) has carried out the hospitals to implement actions of performance improvement. In Brazil, it occurs in a context of deficiency in the management and efficiency of the processes. This thesis analyzes the implamentation impact of NAO‟s Accreditation practices (the brazilian certification most required in the healt care services) on the hospital performance as well as the moderators factors (hospital ownership, hospital size, Accreditation level and Accreditation time) influence in this relationship. A survey research involving the 32 Accredited hospitals from Sao Paulo State was carried out during six months. The survey evaluated the managers‟ perception about the hospital performance improvement comparing the current hospital performance with the hospital performance before the adoption of Accreditation practices. A statistic analysis determined the statistical significance between the Accreditation practices and the hospital performance improvement. Moreover, the most critical Accreditation practices for improving the hospital performance were identified. Finally, managerial actions were proposed to improve the performance of hospitals clusters composed by hospitals with similar management characteristics. The statistical analysis results identified a significant influence of the Accreditation practices in operational efficiency under the action of size and Accreditation time of the hospitals. The critical practices to the hospital performance improvement are the risks management practices and the managerial inovation practices. The first improve the hospital infection rate and the latter improve the medication errors rate.

This work describes the results obtained from studies carried out to quantify phenyl-β-D-glucuronide (FG) and nitrophenyl-β-D-glucuronide (NFG) in human urine by direct injection sample using LC-MS/MS system. The columns RAM-BSA SAX and RAM-BSA C8 were prepared and evaluated in relation to their exclusion capability of urine macromolecules and retention capability of FG by direct injection samples. Both columns presented good retention capability for glucuronide, however, the RAM-BSA SAX column was more efficient in exclusion since this column did not have any interferences eluting after the exclusion time. However, the RAM-BSA SAX column can not be used for FG quantification by LC-MS/MS because the chromatographic condition of this column presented high buffer concentration (40 mM ammonium formate), which resulted in total suppression of the FG signal. Therefore, the column RAM-BSA C8 was selected for the development of the methods. In this study we evaluated triple quadrupole (QqQ) and ion trap (IT) mass spectrometry for both selected glucuronides. It was not possible to obtain selectivity in the analytical conditions developed using UHPLC-QqQ. When we used the IT analyzer, we obtained selectivity in a multidimensional mode for the FG using the column RAM-BSA C8 in the first dimension and the column Ascentis Express F5 in the second dimension. For the NFG we achieved selectivity in a unidimensional mode. The figures of merit obtained with external standarization calibration curve with spiked pooled urines were accurate and precise. For FG, the LQ and LD were 1.0 μg/mL and 0.5 μg/mL, respectively, and to NFG, the LQ and LD were 4.0 μg/mL and 3.0 μg/mL. For the method application we adopted calibration by standard addition to minimize the individual differences between urine donors. To all six toxicological samples analyzed, just one exceeded the regulatory limits for urinary phenol. For NFG, there were no toxicological samples available, thus the method was applied in spiked samples in the laboratory.

The disaster is a tragic and critical event that exceeds the everyday life, invaded it, messes it out. It is a phenomenon seen as unacceptable, and that surprises those who are both in and out of the scene; immediate concerns prompt mobilization of resources and exceptional measures, pressing authorities to act quickly (VALENCIO, 2012). Faced with such a phenomenon, civil defense has the institutional mission of coordinating all actions in context, including those of social assistance. However, the national reality tells us that, in Brazilian municipalities, social assistance has a significantly greater institutional presence in relation to civil defense. Howsoever, whether the presence of civil defense, either with the presence of social assistance, public assistance to those social groups affected in the disaster or that enhances their vulnerability to threatening events has been characterized by precariousness. That is, the recurrent has been a kind of care that goal by the kingdom needs (not rights), not exceeding the supply of needs, where is considered enough by the public entity the provision based on mattresses and baskets of food. Studies about politics of civil defense in disaster scenario were made by Valencio (2009, 2012), and Valencio & Valencio (2010). But, there is a gap in the debate about the strategic social care services in the context of disaster. This study aimed to throw light on this gap and analyze the reasons why, in the context of disaster, assistance to vulnerable populations remains as precarious. For this, the main objective of this study was to examine the sociological discourse and practice of social assistance in the context of disaster, using a macro and micro sociological perspective from the case study of the municipality of Ribeirão Preto/SP. Thus, study focused on the ways in which social context portrayed the disaster and, thereafter, identified the affected social groups and individuals from whom made his acting technique. In the present case, the acting technique implemented in the municipality and analyzed in this study was centrally guided in the displacement of a group of residents of some slums, recurrently subject to floods, to the housing complex Toni Wilson Garden.

ABSTRACT Abstract: The main aim of the research here presented was to gauge how open access to peer-reviewed scientific literature is perceived and understood by the so-called lay public, and how that public uses, accesses and understands the information found. The research further sought to identify how this literature serves the information needs of users. The main theme here is the Open Access movement, understood as access to digital publications of scientific communication, free of any restrictions other than those coming from obtaining access to an Internet connection. The quantitative analysis of data obtained through a structured questionnaire was used. Given the exploratory nature of the study, voluntary interviews with 73 people randomly chosen were conducted . Out of these, 55 were conducted online and 18 in person.The questionnaire consisted of 26 closed questions, and was divided into four parts, plus a simple demographic profile. The first part evaluated health information literacy, using for this an adaptation of the monitoring tool developed by Niemelä et al., consisting of six questions based on the Likert scale. It was find that respondents realise the importance of being well informed about health matters, and obtain information from medical and/or scientific sources, but this does not translate into similar levels of confidence in their own skills to retrieve information and assess its reliability. The second part sought to identify how users access health information that meets their needs, and how they trust the different sources.The five most frequently reported sources were the Internet, the doctor or health care professional, acquaintances with no specific competences in the area, labels and package inserts for medicines, and associates with expertise in the health care area. Regarding the Internet, it was found that repositories of articles are more used than wikis and forums, two types of sites we believed to have more appeal than the scientific literature, and also were perceived as more credible sources. The third part sought to measure the respondents perceptions regarding their own knowledge about scientific literature and the open access concept. It was observed that a large majority of respondents believe that they would not know the difference between a scientific article and a newspaper article about science and neither would they know how to define what is open access.The fourth part was to evaluate how subjects use information found in their decision making process. Respondents mostly have used or would use health information found on the Internet critically in the decision-making process, including to change doctors. It is concluded that despite the increasingly widespread use of the Internet as a source of daily information for the general public, and the latent desire to use more reliable information, understood in this research as being thatof scientific origin, there are still barriers that could be minimized by open access to scientific literature, resulting in the potential improvement of decision-making power of the general public.

This study aimed to analyze the process of agroecological transition in Microregion of the São João River Basin, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, more specifically in agrarian reform settlements surrounding the Biological Reserve Poço das Antas. The idea to start a transition process in local agriculture started from the initiative of some technical extension of municipal and nongovernmental organizations, entities technical assistance and rural extension, and farmers and social movements in the region. Introducing aspects of qualitative and quantitative, the research was conducted from realization semistructured interviews to collect information about the object of study, as well as documentary research for gathering data, photographic records and field observations. The dialogue with settled families and technical extension was the main tool to analyze the transition process in field level, identifying and understanding different times of the trajectory of change in the context local agriculture. The adoption of ecological practices in production systems brought improvements in the quality of soil and water properties in favored local biome with the increase in biodiversity and polycultures and agroflorestry systems, diversification of production and improved income for a group of producers. However, despite positive externalities, in current phase, in year 2012, the process of agroecological transition has entered a phase of disjointed in the current phase, with lower capacity range, compared to other times considered in this study. The research points to the importance of new and different theoretical discussion, including policy, around the principles of agroecology in its complexity, to promote a transition in agriculture an appropriate proposal to agriculture in context of human communities and ecosystems they inhabit.
