Scientific and technological advances bring individual and collective psychosocial implications. Thus, the inclusion of the elderly in the context of development of new technologies of information and communication is needed. The present study investigated whether participants do searches about health on the internet and how these searches influence the life quality of the elderly, relating the reported diseases, considering the CTS field perspective and the area of gerontology. In this sense, the aim of this study was to analyze the access and use of health information through a technological resource, by a group of elderly people from a program of digital inclusion, in this case the Programa de Inclusão Digital (PID) of the Fundação Educacional de São Carlos (FESC) which is a government entity created to develop and promote educational programs for all ages. The study was conducted in seven steps, been the data collection divided into three phases. In the first phase of data collection, after the approval of the Committee of research ethics, an invitation to participants was done, having attended 19 elderly people, 8 male and 11 female on which they answered a semistructured questionnaire. For the second stage 8 elderly people participated in a directed study, in which issues of access to health information through the internet were addressed. In the third phase the data collection was done through a focus group divided into 2 men and 4 women. The main results show that the average age of the elderly is 67 years old, with college degree and earning up to three minimum wages, from the participants only 1 doesn t have a computer with internet access at home and those who own do searches for information and news. The study also shows that the participants of the third stage believe that the search for health information on the internet is important and influences their life quality.

Family Health Strategy (FHS), which has the objective to reorient the assistance health model, redefined both work organization and nurse´s professional practice. This health professional has an important role to the consolidation of the FHS, because it must perform managerial, assistance and educational actions. Thus, it is important to understand the organization of working process on Family Health Unit (FHI) and how it affects nurses life quality (LQ). Thereby, this research aims to: identifying the constructive elements of working process which are perceived by nurses; analyzing the nurses perceptions regarding the influence of work process in their LQ; identifying the actions which have been realized to health promotion ofthe health of the workers.Twelve nurses who worked in the FHS in Ilhéus BA participated in this study as volunteers. This study had a quanti-qualitative approach, and it is classified as analytic descriptive type. Two different methods were utilized to data collection: semistructure interview and the WHOQOL -brief questionnaire instrument administered to evaluate the LQ. The data from WHOQOL-brief were tabulated by Microsoft EXCEL®, where were calculated the averages and SD of the WHOQOL-brief domains. Inferential statistical analysis were performed by BioEstat® 5.3. The interviews were transcribed, and the lexical analysis were performed by ALCESTE® software 4.10 version. Four classes were identified from ALCESTE s analysis:Service demand, for both nurses and entire health team, as well as its organization on working process; 2) Educational Dimension in the nurses working process;3) Management as negative point of the working process and as stress factor to the nurses; and 4) Elements of the working process and the worker´s health. Scores from WHOQOL-brief showed that the social relations domain presented the greatest value (4,1), followed by physical domain (3,9), psychological domain (3,8) and, at last, environment domain (3,4).There was significant difference from environment domain (p<0.05) to both physical and social relations domains. There wasno significant correlation between the independent variables (age, working time and children) and the WHOQOL-brief domains (p>0.05).The results showed that,even though the nurses recognized that some elements of the health working process affectsnegatively in their LQ, they evaluated their LQ as satisfactory. Understanding of nurses perceptions concerning the working process, and its influence on their LQ, enabled an approach to the reality experienced by these health professionals. Most important contributions of this study were to provide better knowledge regarding working process of the nurses on FHS, and how that working process can affect their LQ. Furthermore, immersion into nurses life work brought up some interesting elements that might be useful to construct new strategies to improve the healthcare on FHS and the LQ of the health professionals there.

The paternal lifestyle molded into traditional frames and based on the hegemonic model and male traditions is no longer founded on the modernity characterized by the centrality of dialogs in the society and by the profusion of knowledge. Concomitantly, feminist women, pro-feminism men and homosexuals struggles and accomplishments have been emphasizing the discussions and reflections on masculinity and parenthood. Through Critical Communicative Methodology, methodological-theoretical reference in which the reality is perceived as a construction of meanings intersubjectively reached through individuals able to recur to language and action and is based on the egalitarian dialog between the participants of the research and researchers that interact and communicate in order to reach an understanding. The participants are male Community Health Agents who are also parents and the main goal was to identify which elements of their speeches could promote the construction of new parenthood standards related to the health of mother-child binomial during the pregnancy, birth and post-birth periods and which elements set a limit to such construction. Such elements arise from aspects of their personal and professional lives and from the community where they live and work. Two data collection methods were used: communicative report and communicative discussion group. The data analysis was performed along with the participants that are understood as capable to interpret differently from the researcher yet in a different level of understanding. Besides the analysis run on the promoter and limiter elements, it was considered, for the final analysis, the categories system and life s world. The results indicate that professionals, health institutions, all knowledge acquisition regarding health and the existence of laws/directives figure as essential to determine a broader paternal care. Another relevant aspect concerns to the strength of genre socializing process on the determination of men s spot on the familiar day-by-day perpetuating social constructions that attribute its detachment of these moments and feelings of fear and unpreparedness to handle the baby. However, there were reports of paternal experiences that exceeded such traditional determinations highlighted by a broad view of parenthood, of the dialog between family members, of the relationship maintained by the couple and of the existence of favorable support contexts. Thus, we concluded there is a need to develop researches and social and educational spaces that could allow men/fathers to dialog collectively and to create successful strategies for the transformation of the paternal reality on the recent context in order to lead it to their inclusion.

Whereas the primary socialization of children happens within the family, where parents provide arrangements of reinforcement contingencies or offer models of behavior, including expanding and improving social skills classes. Childhood is considered a turning point for learning social skills, which are different classes of social behaviors present in the repertoire of an individual that promote a healthy and productive relationship with other people. Among the social skills, has the set of social skills specifically parental applicable to educational practices of their children, which is called parenting educative social skills (HSE-P). Many Brazilian studies have associated child behavior problems at HSE-P. Thus, this study aimed (a) establish and analyze the relationships between the parenting educative social skills repertoires, social skills of children and the occurrence of behavior problems of children; (b) compare the social skills and behavior problems of children, between the group of children whose parents have higher and lower educational repertoire of social skills and (c) compare the parenting educative social skills repertoire and the social skills repertoire of children between the group of children with more and less behavioral problems. Participated in the study 35 mothers and five fathers, with a mean age of 29 years (ranging from 19 to 66 years) of 40 children. These parents were responsible for 24 boys and 16 girls, aged between two and six years, attending public preschools in four cities in two states. Also responded to questionnaires 37 teachers, three male and 34 female. These teachers had, on average, 35 years of age ranging between 28 and 52 years. All had been teaching in regular class from kindergarten. To achieve the goals, have been applied the instruments Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) - version for parents and version for teachers and the Inventory of Social Educational Skills - IHSE-Del Prette, rather in the institution where the child studied or where participants indicated. Data were analyzed according to the standards of respective instruments. To establish relationships between variables Pearson's correlation test was used. The results indicated that parents had a higher frequency of HSE- P related to set boundaries, correct, control. The evaluation of the parents, the children were within the reference sample average for Social Skills and above average for Hyperactive behavior problems. According to the evaluation of teachers, these children were below average for Social Skills of Self-Control and Social Skills totals, and above average for problems of externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Significant positive correlations between HSE-P and social skills and academic performance of children, and significant and negative correlations between HSE-P and the problems of child behavior were found. As for comparative data, the group of children with parents with better repertoire of HSE-P showed better social skills related to Kindness, Assertiveness, Self / Civility, Passive Self and Self Defense. Children with higher levels of behavioral problems had lower social skills repertoire of Kindness, Self / Civility, Passive Self, Responsibility / Cooperation, Self-Control and Cooperation with peers. Overall, these data indicate that the better the repertoire of HSE-P, better social skills of children and lower the occurrence of behavior problems. So, intervention with parents with the goal of instrumentalize them can become a mechanism of protection effective to act in the primary prevention of child behavior problem, preventing these children are the target audience of Special Education since Childhood Education.

Our study discuss the process of returning to homeland faced by young muslins Burkinabes who studied in countries of Arabic language Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria and Libya, among others. It is about a theoretical study that has been complemented with a preparatory fieldwork made at Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), in 2010. It can be seen, by one side, the search for religious knowledge and sociocultural legitimation; by other, the problems faced at return and the role of institutions in the reconstruction of social, professional and economical network. Burkina Faso is a country taking place at west of Africa, with a population of 16.241.811 inhabitants, from which 60% are muslins. The population aged between 15 to 39 years old represents more than 31%, raising its social and economic importance. Most of the population has studied at the so called franco-arab schools, in an education imbricated with a deeply religious manner, within a context that the study of French (the official language) is a matter of secondary concern. Considering the challenges of getting a university degree, countries of Arabic speaking languages became attractive because its stronger appeal of having equivalent values and due to offers for scholarships by countries like Egypt, Syria, Libya and Saudi-Arabia. By the time of return, there are plenty of difficulties about social and professional insertion for returnees. Among the possibilities that seem to be more open there are these of teaching at Franco-Arabic schools and working for associations that promotes the Islam and rights of Islamic populations. It is noted, firstly, the social historic context of education in the country and, then, the role of Muslim Institutions, mainly, of local Islamic Universities in the process of social support in constructing spaces that aim social belonging and work.

People with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) may have impaired social skills due to difficulties associated with adaptive behavior, which is a determining factor in their development. Social skills, and adaptive behavior, are linked to the process of adaptation of the individual to society and the behavior stems from the culture and the prevailing social norms. Given the relationship between culture and social skills, justified the adoption of critical- surmounting approach as theoretical and methodological basis of this study. Through body movements originating in culture, is intended to encourage the social skills of people with ID. Considering the possibility of inter-relationship between social skills and body culture, the following question arises: a program of physical education based on the principles of body culture can assist in the development of social skills? The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of a physical education program based on the principles of physical culture on the social skills of children with intellectual disabilities. Under qualitative-quantitative approach, it is a field research, the type of study program evaluation. The population was composed of children and adolescents with intellectual disability, the sample comprised 16 children and youth enrolled in a special school in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Children and adolescents participating in the study, belonging to two different classes, were evaluated by three teachers: the conductor/teacher responsible for the class, the teacher of Body Expression and Physical Education, through the instrument of the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS-BR), administered before and after an intervention program in physical education from the perspective of body culture. The program developed by the researcher consisted of 24 sessions lasting 40 minutes each, over 2 months of intervention. During the intervention was employed participant observation, recorded systematically by field diary and footage as an additional tool for data collection. The information obtained through the SSRS-BR were analyzed quantitatively by JT method, the data from the field diary were discussed based on content analysis. Through the analysis of the results showed that the program exerted influence on all classes of social skills developed in both groups A and B. In the postintervention assessment of the overall social skills kind of 16 participants, 12 reached a reliable positive change. Thus, we conclude that the program of Physical Education, based on body culture, was effective in the development and/or improvement of social skills in a positive, in children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities.

The Education of Youth and Adults (EJA) undergoes a process of paradigm change from a compensatory conception of basic education to lifelong learning. As a teaching modality, EJA needs to be understood in the broadest sense, connecting school experience with people s life and work expectations by seeking to contemplate their needs. The objective of this work is to describe and analyze one experience of EJA understood in the context of Lifelong Education: the Popular Legal Promoters Course (PLPs), which aims to train adult women to be multipliers of rights, laws and legal mechanisms in their communities. Women are still subordinate to hierarchies in different social contexts and struggle daily to uphold their rights. This research was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews with four PLPs graduated in the third group of the course in the city of Sao Carlos. Through content analysis and the Critical Communicative Methodology themes and categories were prepared highlighted in their transforming and exclusionary elements. Among the main elements of the PLPs course that contribute to EJA we have: practical utility of the content; the form of openly relation with knowledge; dialogical education; the importance of women's themes and feminism as well as multidisciplinary content. In this sense, the present dissertation focuses on the Popular Legal Promoters education as a Lifelong Education experience, which brings elements to the reformulation in the organization of EJA as a formative space that better suits women.

This dissertation aims to investigate the performance of the Self Evaluation Commission (CPA) in conjunction with the processes of institutional self-evaluation, for both make use of a case study in UFSCar that the division of institutional assessment were investigated with four undergraduate courses face of the institution, all of the São Carlos campus. To this end, this study was guided from the qualitative, so research made use of desk research, semistructured interviews, the literature review and the online questionnaire closed. Documentary research was analyzed in the legislation of public policies for higher education evaluation, the period from 1996 to 2008, and the internal regulations of the institution. For bibliographic bibliometrics, which allowed analyzing 54 studies among theses, dissertations and articles in national and international researchers who investigate thematic educational assessment. Participated in semi-structured interviews of the following actors: coordinator or deputy coordinator of each course, a former member of CPA/UFSCar, and a former member of the Organizing Committee of the Project Evaluation of Undergraduate Teaching UFSCar. Finally, the closed online questionnaire was administered to students regularly enrolled in the penultimate and last year, the teacher who teaches discipline penultimate and last, and the administrative technician investigated each course. The results achieved through the collection of data showed that there was a poor articulation of the outcomes of institutional self-evaluation that occurs in courses with the actions taken by the CPA and the Management UFSCar. To sensitize the academic community to participate in the processes of institutional assessment would need to enhance information management within the IES, so that the CPA can be known to then be recognized. The little time to build the self-assessment report on the institution does not provide time for reflection and discussion with the community. There were times that the regulatory review predominated in the institution, but there were those that prevailed in the critical evaluation in daily practice, it became evident in two courses investigated. It was found that the construction of an evaluation design is a contentious field, as there are, within the institution, social actors who want to review the ranking and classification, as there are those who want the formative and emancipatory.

The Young and Adult Education (EJA) students are people who possess and produce knowledge built from their life experience and the school needs to hear, understand and use this knowledge in educational practices. Under this assumption, and aiming to contribute to discussions about the Science curriculum for EJA students, in view of the dialogue between school knowledge and students knowledge reference, this research was developed from the analysis of the students speeches, on the contents of Sciences, in elementary and high school, participating in a Young and Adult Education project in the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). The research aimed to: identify the EJA students' views about scientific knowledge and popular knowledge; Analyze, from the students´ speech, the place of scientific knowledge and their knowledge reference in the EJA curriculum. In this study the education concept has been guided by Paulo Freire´s theoretical bases on problem and dialogical education and conceived EJA as the possibility for women and men to have access to education, a right denied when they were children and adolescents. The research data was constructed from the hermeneutics methodological and theoretical foundations and obtained by means of two press conferences (one mediated by films and the other by the analysis of the Science contents) and individual interviews. The students' speeches were analyzed in two chapters. One of them turned to the analysis of students' views on the scientific and popular knowledge and discussed the relationship between theory and practice, Science and popular knowledge. The other chapter carried out the analysis about the place of scientific knowledge and the students knowledge reference in the young and adult education curriculum. It discussed the subject specificities and their knowledge about school; the place that knowledge reference occupies in the curriculum and the place of Science contents and its relationship with students knowledge reference. For students the scientific knowledge has a very important place in the curriculum for being a content highly valued by them and they consider that the knowledge reference is a starting point to learn Science. Thus, an important specificity of the Science curriculum for young and adult education is the necessary link between school knowledge and the knowledge reference brought to school by students.

This essay presents the results of an investigation about the image consumers have regarding Science and Technology in the city of Sao Carlos. Through the technique of focal groups, there was a search for identification and discussion of the appropriate image of C&T in the consumption context, as well as the distinction if the purchase processes are determined or determining of such image and through which channels, this same perceived image, happens. The research was carried out with five groups of different social categories: university students, private school teachers, industry workers, outsourced workers and housewives. The data were examined based on the qualitative analysis of the content, specifically the synthesis of the content analysis, as to obtain, through the generalizations capable of synthetizing the collected data, likely to conclusion. From the research of consumption bias, the definition of groups called to it was accomplished based on a criterion converging to the identification of the extracts which were economically more representative to the city. The results point that the consumption, at the same time it reinforces the inherited view of C&T, as a paradox, it adds eloquent critiques to it, converging to the assumptions CTS, in special to the people led to the democratization of C&T through the Social Appropriation and Technology Science, ASC&T.

The Developmental Coordination Disorder - DCD occurs when there is delayed development of motor skills or difficulty in motor coordination, not justified by general medical conditions or intellectual disability, leading to low performance in academic, school and daily life activities. Depending on the methodology used to select and classify the participants, studies have reported prevalences which vary from 1.4 to 15% among school age children, however high prevalences have been the result of studies which doesn't consider all diagnostic criteria, applying just a motor test to identify children with DCD. The goal of this study was to identify DCD in 7-year-old children, enrolled in public schools in the city of Araraquara-SP, by means of two assessment tools - motor test and a questionnaire for the parents; identify signs of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by means of indirect evaluation; identify the prevalence of motor difficulties between genders and find the DCDQ-Brasil cutoff point by means of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC curve). It is a study with a quantitative, descriptive/exploratory approach. The sample was composed by 101 7-year-old schoolchildren, born between July, 2005 and January, 2006, enrolled in the city's public schools. Parents and guardians provided data on economic status, the child's performance in daily life, school and leisure activities and informed signs of ADHD, answering the following questionnaires (respectively): Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil CPCEB; Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire DCDQ Brasil; Swanson, Nolan and Pelham IV Scale - SNAP IV. The children were evaluated through Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 MABC II. Descriptive analyses and statistical tests have been performed to verify the significance of the results. The economical statuses of the participants varied from B1 to D, representing no statistical significance. The combination of two assessment tools for DCD identification led to a 0.99% prevalence of children with severe DCD and a 2.97% prevalence of children with moderate DCD. The DCDQ-Brasil cutoff point found through the ROC curve was 49, increasing the prevalence of severe DCD to 2.97% and 4.95% for moderate DCD. Various levels of motor impairment have been identified, pointed out by the various scores of the children who presented DCD, and even though the prevalence was higher on boys, this result also did not present statistical significance. A direct correlation between signs of ADHD and moderate DCD was found, reinforcing the hypothesis of the existence of comorbidities, as well as the heterogeneity of motor difficulties demonstrated by children with DCD. This study represents one of the necessary steps in the caring for children with DCD - the identification, for further intervention referral, if necessary. It strengthens the importance of continuing investing in DCD studies in Brazil, as well as in the standardization of the DCDQ-Brasil cutoff point and the MABC-II validation for Brazilian children.

Involving families in intervention programs supports them and allows them to have autonomy to hire services while learning and strategizing the necessary requirements to claim their rights, as well as assist in the development or enhancement of skills to stimulate their children. The research aimed to implement a program of intervention with mothers of children with disabilities and to evaluate the influence of the same on the identification of needs, stimulation offered to children, stress level and level of empowerment. The intervention program occurred in nine weekly meetings, 120/150 minutes long, being divided into two parts: (a) parenting practices and child development and (b) thematic interests of mothers. All sessions were recorded wiht annotation into a field journal. To meet the goals, the mothers were evaluated through a resources and stress questionnaire, an EC-Home inventory and a family empowerment scale. In addition, the participants responded to questionnaires for evaluating the intervention framework to assess different aspects of the quality of the intervention, at the end of each meeting and the end of the program. To compare the averages of the mothers between the pre- and post-test Mann-Whitney test was used. To compare the frequency of stimulation that mothers offered children in the family environment, through the EC-Home Inventory, the Kruskal-Walllis was used. To relate the variables the Spearman correlation test was used, considering only the data of the pretest. The assessment tools and intervention sessions quantitative and qualitative data were obtained, which were calculated averages, standard deviation and content analyses performed. Based on the results, it was found that at every meeting, mothers were able to demonstrate their difficulties and potential to deal with some situations, express their feelings, exchange information and clarify their doubts in respect to the child with the disability. According to the results, there is statistically a significant decrease of the needs, and the level of family stress, as well as an increase in stimulation offered to the child in the family environmentt and empowerment. The higherthe age of the child, the greater the needs of families the higher the purchasing power of families, the greater the level of empowerment, and the lower the family stress. In regards to the structure of the intervention program, all aspects of the meetings were evaluated by the participants in a positive way, with scores ranging from 4.0 'good' to 5.0 'very good'. The most well assessed in different encounters were the speaker's ability to conduct the session in an orderly manner and that the participants had the opportunity to speak. The positive aspects of the intervention program were the mothers who showed that the Group clarified the doubts of participants and helped resolve difficulties related to the needs of children, On the other hand, the time when the subject was broached, evaluated by the mothers as short and the participation of the same were evaluated as a negative point of the intervention. It is concluded that the intervention program provided the mothers with the tools and information that might assist in family interactions, more specifically on the interactions between parents and children. It is believed that the participation of mothers in the intervention program can assist positively in the development of children with disabilities.

The layer-by-layer technique is one of the most used in the immobilization of molecules of biological interest, being largely employed in the fabrication of modified electrodes for biosensors. One of the main challenges in the development of biosensors is to eliminate interfering electroactive species within the detection system, therefore, this problem can be solved with the introduction of inorganic or organic electron mediators. Here, we carried out systematic studies for the application of hemoglobin acting as an electron mediator, and the self-assembly technique was used to immobilize haemoglobin in nanostructured thin films. The LbL films were tested with two polyelectrolytes, obtaining uniform films with activity kept during 15 days, without responses to possible interfering phospholipids. The layer-bylayer technique was also used to immobilize the enzyme cholesterol oxidase, alternated with different polyelectrolytes. The thin films showed a good performance as an amperometric biosensor for the detection of cholesterol at low concentrations (10-5 M), with the functioning of the biosensor attributed to the use of hemoglobin in mediating the effects of excluding interfering ascorbic acid and uric acid. Some tests were also performed in real samples using egg yolk, with good results obtained. The high sensitivity and selectivity of the biosensor have been attributed to the nanostructured thin nature of the films, despite recognition capability of the biomolecules used, with a strong potential to contribute for new device technologies for food analysis.

This dissertation discusses the training workshop “Vivências com a Natureza” (offered by the Associação Brasileira de Vivências com a Natureza, Instituto Romã) from May 2003 until June 2012. The survey consists on mapping the educators who have participated, their professional actions using the methodology, what impact on their personal and professional lives it has had and how the methodology relates to Environmental Education. It also examines the complementarity between the processes of awareness and knowledge within the field of the Environmental Education. The results indicate that educators work with the Flow Learning methodology because they believe that consciousness-raising processes are important to start changing behavior and attitudes in the environmental area. They also believe that information and more objective questions are complementary to this process.

This research aims to discuss how an e-learning course of continuing education for literacy teachers may contribute to the development of a literacy project with six-year-old children, enabling their access to writing so that it becomes an activity. Our theoretical framework is based on the concepts of activity and personal sense of the Activity Theory, developed by Leontiev (1978a, 1978b, 2006a, 2006b) from the socio-historical perspective and literacy projects of New Literacy Studies (KLEIMAN, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012; MARTINS, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012; OLIVEIRA, 2010a, 2010b; OLIVEIRA; SANTOS, 2012; TINOCO, 2008) . This study, which is based on the qualitativeinterpretative paradigm, investigates issues relating to the relevance of continuing education of literacy teachers in a virtual learning environment as a way of motivating the teachers participation and as a possibility of sharing thoughts on how (including practice and theory) and why develop educational activities, involving different discourse genres through literacy projects with six-year-old children of the first year of elementary school so that these activities make sense for all involved in this process. The results show the importance of interaction with the social and cultural environment and mediation, as a principle of organization of teacher s pedagogical activity, for the development of children in the learning process, in the use of written language. Thus, the literacy projects show another look at the pedagogical practice and teaching activities with written language, as they highlight the importance of teachers, of their knowledge (TARDIF, 2002), their mediation in organizing activities with written language, as well as allowing children to get into the activity, socially motivated, learning and using the writing language through different discursive genres.

Innovation generates business competitiveness and business opportunities. The corporate sector can generate innovative products and processes based on technological progress in the company, developed in academia, or developed in partnership. But as the business sector can meet the technological advances that arise in the gym? What are the relevant details? What sources of information can be found? The sources of information currently available contains relevant and sufficient information? The context of this research is the monitoring of technological advances from academia to facilitate the transfer of such advances to the business sector. Among the objectives proposed for the research are: to identify sources of information publicly available descriptions of the technological advances of the academy, and investigate these sources of information through experimental research involving extraction and analysis of data in a universe of limited research. For the experimental investigation were chosen as sources of information and the Lattes Platform Innovation Agency UFSCAR site. The research universe was defined set of technological advances produced by professors from San Carlos UFSCar campus. The interval between the years 2007 and 2012 was defined as the period of investigation. Results indicate that 907 teachers UFSCar São Carlos campus reported in Lattes 192 technological advances produced between 2007 and 2012, 89 software without registration, 58 patents, 28 technology products, 13 processes and techniques, Industrial 2 drawings 1 software with registration and 1 mark. These data were grouped by department, by district and by year of production, generating statistics. The results of analysis of descriptive information extracted from Lattes showed problems in the reliability of the data: errors, duplicity, vagueness and lack of standardization in the filling. The website of the Agency for Innovation UFSCar reported numerically, 98 patents, 12 computer programs, 12 licenses of technology, 17 international patents, trademark registrations 4, 5 and 17 cultivars protected utility models between 2008 and 2012. Fifty-three of these advances - 49 patents and 4 cultivars - were described on the website of reliable, accurate and inviting manner using textual and audiovisual resources, enabling the identification and contact with researchers. Comparing the information provided in the Lattes Platform and the Innovation Agency site, we identified in the Innovation Agency site descriptions are more reliable and effective, however cover a limited number of technological advances, restricted to patents and cultivars indicators. On Lattes descriptions of advances reported in other indicators (such as software, processes and industrial designs) can be found, but more superficial descriptions and in some cases inaccurate. This work contributes to a better understanding of how the technological advances of the academy are being monitored, it also helps to aim the Lattes Platform and the websites of Technological Innovation Centers as sources of information that can be integrated in order to enhance monitoring technological advances of the academy and encourage technology transfer to the business sector.

Applying complexity and transdisciplinarity that the ecology of knowledge - among other systemic perspective -, this dissertation focuses on education in their studies and analysis of contemporary social movements - the transition period in which we see the values of the paradigm of modernity being questioned by these same movements already providing new perspectives which replace that - with the assumption exercising their educational role and identifying the libertarian character which pierces the new forms of organization and values set in motion by such movement, we recognizing the changing ecological perspectives to see them incorporated into the new rising paradigm, this paradigm identified as a libertarian post-modernity

The increasing demand for water has made the treatment and reuse of wastewater a topic of global importance. Analyzing scientific and technological advances that deal with this issue, yet, require studies to guide their best job focusing on producing sanitary and environmental effective and economically satisfactory results. Considering this situation, this work aims to install, monitor and evaluate the efficiency of wastewater treatment (ETE) that works through biological processes through measuring the reduction of the organic content of the effluent during the treatment and disposal of agricultural importance of nutrients in the final residue. The ETE has been designed 2500 liters of wastewater per day and is broken down into 4 compartments as follows: septic tank, tank of microalgae with inoculant Desmodesmus subspicatus of anaerobic filter of up flow, wetlands with cultivation of Zantedeschia aethiopica L. Hydraulic detention time is 22 hours and for the checks were allocated 5 points for the collection of samples being the first raw sewage. Monitoring the ETE was developed through the analysis of dissolved oxygen (DO), hydrogen potential (pH), electrical conductivity, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand with 5 days incubation at 20° C (BOD520), total nitrogen (NT), total phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and microbiological tests for detection and quantification of total coliforms and E. coli. ETE efficiency reaches approximately 90% of organic matter removal providing an effluent suitable for fertigation, same for Na and Ca elements that have had their levels increased due to the accumulation of organic matter in the anaerobic filter of up flow and wetlands that provide longer detention contain hydraulic gravel in its interior. The ETE acts on nitrogen and phosphorus removal by the action of micro algae and Macrophytes used in the process. It is concluded that, after tertiary treatment for removal of pathogens, this wastewater can be used in Fertigation as NBR 13969/1997, but without discarding periodic monitoring of soil salinity.

The concept of Cultural Industry was born from the experiences of Horkheimer and Adorno during their exile in the United States, following the rise of National Socialism and the eruption of the Second World War. They verified the enhanced and expanded understanding of life's spontaneous character in the mold of modern commodity production. They attributed the concept of cultural industry: Its products, being goods themselves, also legitimate the abstract capitalist order, which its participants - social beings - experience as a determinately subjective expression. The cultural industry would be a manifestation of the very development of the productive forces which is consolidated in the Keynesian-Fordist administered society of labor and large-scale consumption, and the so-called welfare state. Thus the issue being examined in this study is presented: Half-formation (Halbbildung) and cultural industry in the (hypothetical) context of the objective limits of the capitalist mode of production. However, according to the usual interpretations, would the products of the cultural industry be a lasting solution for the bottlenecks of capital appreciation? The central hypothesis is that the "colonization" of the commodity form by virtually every human manifestation, as the concept of cultural industry seeks to comprehend, expresses the very objective limits of the capitalist mode of production, not only in our current times, but also in retrospect, at the origin of the concept formulated in the 1940s by Horkheimer and Adorno. This is, therefore, a theoretical-reflexive study on sociological issues, conducted through the analysis of economic transformations - especially in the spheres of work and free time - and how this combination determines the manner in which the cultural industry conditions half-formation, whose processes - within the scope of the microelectronics revolution and of the imagistic shock - affect our perceptual apparatus and the core of our psyche.

Purpose: To compare the effect of 16-week multicomponent and resistance training and 6- week detraining protocols on cognition, depressive symptoms and physical variables related to falls in oldest-old people living in the community. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial, with 69 community elderly over 80 years and without cognitive disorders. Participants were allocated to three groups (Control, Multicomponent and Resistance training). The Multicomponent Group performed a protocol consisting of warm-up, aerobic, strength, balance and cool-down exercises. The Resistance Group underwent strength exercises using six machines: leg press, chest press, calf, back extension, abdominal and rowing. The Control Group did not perform any intervention. The training sessions had progressive intensity, lasted 16 weeks and included three 1-hour sessions per week. We assessed the volunteers at baseline, at the end of 16-week training and after 6-week detraining. The assessment consisted of anamneses, Geriatric Depression Scale, cognition (Montreal cognitive assessment, clock drawing test, verbal fluency and gait associated to a cognitive task), lower limbs strength (sit-to-stand test), balance (unipedal and tandem tests), gait associated to a motor task and presence of falls. For statistical analysis, significance level of α=0.05 was adopted and the SPSS software was used (17.0). Results: There were no significant differences between groups and times in none of variables, when we analyzed by intention to treat. Regarding the detraining, there was a maintenance of physical and mental performances, without any difference between the groups. However, the adherence to training was low, mainly in the Multicomponent Group, which could have affected the results. Conclusion: Randomized controlled trials using adherence strategies, longer times and comparing variations of protocols are needed to verify which training protocols are more effective and consistent on cognition, depression and physical variables related to a higher risk of falls in oldest-old people.
