This thesis has been divided into three chapters for better understanding of the experiments. The first chapter refers to a brief Literature Review, with the main concepts and justifications for this work. The second chapter discusses the strategy of positional and functional candidate genes for traits of feed efficiency in Nelore cattle, and the third chapter presents a genome-wide association study for feed efficiency traits in the same population. Feed efficiency is an important production trait in beef cattle production systems. The aim of this study was to identify genes/QTLs associated with feed efficiency traits in Nelore cattle genotypes using the Illumina BeadChip BovineHD (770K) of 593 Nelore steers. The traits analyzed were: average daily weight gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), feed conversion (FC), feed efficiency (FE), residual feed intake (RFI), efficiency of maintenance (EM), efficiency gain (EG), partial efficiency of growth (PEG) and relative growth rate (RGR). The first strategy discussed in this work, using candidate genes, investigated the association of Neurogenic differentiaton 1 (NEUROD1), Kv channel interacting protein 4 (KCNIP4), and Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) genes, with production traits in the same population. Our results are in according to literature that indicate NEUROD1, KCNIP4 and VEGFC as candidate genes for feed efficiency; and this study is the first to suggest the NEUROD1 gene as a candidate for gene backfat thickness, body weigth and metabolic weight in Nelore cattle. In the genome-wide association study some QTL regions identified in this study minimally overlapped with QTL regions previously reported for feed efficiency in Bos Taurus cattle, and harbor genes with biological functions related to metabolic processes, lipid and protein metabolism, energy generation and growth. A comparison with published results indicates that different QTL and genes may be involved in the control of feed efficiency in this population of Nelore cattle. The validation of the results obtained in this work in independent populations may contribute to elucidation of the mechanisms will involved in the variation of feed consumption and specific improvement in Nelore programs.

The African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus is a facultative air-breather with the ABO present in the 2nd and 3rd gill arches. Like other bimodal respirators, the African catfish presents cardiorespiratory adjustments to survive low PwO2. These regulations are modulated by gill O2 chemoreceptors monitoring the PwO2 and/or the PaO2. The present study analyzed the distribution, location and orientation of the branchial O2 chemoreceptors of C. gariepinus, and the role of these receptors on the cardiorespiratory function and the modulation of the heart autonomic control. C. gariepinus were divided into two experimental groups (Control GC, intact fish, and Experimental GD, with the 1st gill arches excised) and their cardiorespiratory variables were analyzed during graded hypoxia with and without access to the atmospheric air, internal and external NaCN injections and autonomic nervous system antagonists. During hypoxia without access to air, both GC and GD showed increases in the respiratory variables (fR, VT and 𝑉 𝐺 ). However, the GD displayed higher values, since normóxia until severe hypoxia, to compensate the decrease in the EO2 resulting from the ablation of the 1st gill arches. Furthermore, the decrease in EO2 was responsible for the decrease in 𝑉 O2 and, consequently, for the increase of the PcO2 from 61 mmHg (GC) to 79 mmHg (GD). The GD featured bradycardia similar to GC, however, their values were higher in all PwO2. In hypoxia with access to air, both groups showed decrease in the fR and VAMP in the mores hypoxic tensions. This was attributed to the increases in the fRA in GC which compensate the O2 uptake. However, the GC increases in fRA were attenuated by the excision of the 1st gill arches. Moreover, both groups developed bradycardia pre-RA (typical of aquatic respirator) and tachycardia post-RA (typical of aerial respirator). Internal and external NaCN injections caused bradycardia in both groups, while the internal injections increased the ventilator variables only in GC. Thus, it is concluded that C. gariepinus possess branchial O2 chemoreceptors modulating the fH distributed by all gill arches, monitoring both PwO2 and PaO2. Conversely, fR and VAMP are modulated by receptors located in the 1st gill arches monitoring exclusively the PaO2. Furthermore, NaCN internal injections elevated more the fRA in GC than the external ones, but with low effect on the fRA of GD. Thus, the fRA is primarily modulated by O2 chemoreceptors located in the 1st gill arches monitoring, predominantly, the PaO2. Injections blocking the autonomic system to the heart showed that the modulation of pre-AR bradycardia and post-AR tachycardia occurs due to variations in the vagal cholinergic tonus, which is elevated during bradycardia and reduced during tachycardia. The adrenergic tonus, in spite of the decrease in the post-AR, is lower than the cholinergic, suggests a "reflex adrenergic" arising from the peripheral vasoconstriction, important to optimize the perfusion of the ABOs.

The increase in the production of antimicrobial metabolites by Paenibacillus polymyxa RNC-D was appraised through the study of cultivation variables. Two process variables, namely the glucose and inoculum concentrations, were evaluated in different levels (5 to 40 g/l, and 2.5% to 5.0% v/v, respectively), and their effects on biomass formation, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Escherichia coli and surface tension reduction (STR) were studied. The fermentation process was firstly carried out using non-optimized parameters, where the dependent variables biomass, MIC and STR reached the values of 0.6 g/l, 1.000,0 μg/ml and 18.4 mN/m, respectively. The optimum glucose (16 g/l) and inoculum concentrations (5.0% v/v) were defined in order to maximize the biomass formation, with low value of MIC and large STR of extract. Under these conditions, a biomass of 2.76 g/l, MIC of 15.8 μg/ml, and STR of 14.58 mN/m were predicted by the model. Data attained by experiments using optimized settings showed the following values: biomass 2.05 g/l; MIC 31.2 μg/ml; STR 10.7 mN/m. Thus, the percentage of improvement for each target response was: biomass 241.6%; MIC 96.88%; STR 41.85%. It was found that high concentrations of glucose substrate, although reflected in an increase in bacterial biomass, inhibited the microbial secondary metabolism, resulting in a low production of biomolecules associated with high values of MICs. Thus, initial concentrations of glucose and inoculum are shown as variables of strong influence in the production of antimicrobial metabolites by P. polymyxa RNC-D. Through the methods of experimental factorial design and surfaceresponse followed by graphical optimization it was possible to determine the optimum operating condition to achieve both maximum biomass and RTS as well as and lowest possible values of CIM. The validity of the proposed model was verified and confirmed. This is the first study on the optimization of culture conditions for the production of antimicrobial metabolites by P. polymyxa RNC-D, and constitutes an important step in the development of strategies to modulate the production of antimicrobial molecules by this microorganism in elevated levels. Novel antimicrobial compounds were isolated from the fermentation broth of P. polymyxa RNC-D, here named total extract (TE). It was possible to verify the presence of lipopeptide and peptide active compounds through enzymatic assays made with ET. Total extract was subjected to a two-phase system, resulting in lipopeptide extract (LPE) and aqueous fraction (AF). According to the results of bioassays, LPE has broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The mass spectrometry analysis of PLA revealed the existence of a novel compound that was named polycerradin. The purification of a novel antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from the AF was carried out by using chromatography. The compound was active against Gram-negative bacteria. Nterminal analysis determined the amino acid sequence, as well as MS / MS analysis confirmed the primary structure of this new compound. This research reports firstly the production of PAM PpRNCD that has an unusual amino acid in its constitution. It is an unprecedented fact considering the bacterial specie P. polymyxa. In terms of molecule size, PAM PpRNCD can be considered one of the smallest active natural peptide reported to date. It was also possible to isolate from FA the depsipeptides IL-F04a (m/z 883), LI-F04b (m/z 897), LI-F03a (m/z 947) and LI-F03b (m/z 961) previously described in the literature. The photoluminescence study of the LPE, TE, AF in both at room temperature (RT) and low temperature (T = 8K) was performed. In addition, this technique was applied to evaluate the action of the ELP on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 29212, Shigella sonnei ATCC 1578 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 in two different situations: (a) immediately after mixing LPE with the bacterial and fungus cell suspension, and (b) after thirty minutes. The photoluminescence emission was collected by a triple spectrometer (three diffraction gratings) T64000 model from Jobin Yvon, equipped with an optical microscope. For the detection of the radiation emitted by the sample we used a CCD camera (charge coupled device) cooled by liquid nitrogen. The slits of the spectrometer were adjusted to produce a spectral resolution of the order of 10-4 nm. The excitation source used was the line of 457 nm (violet) from an argon laser. The behaviors here observed indicate a strong potential for applications in biosensors as well as molecular markers.

The aim of this research is the performance of the Bar Association in Brazil concerning the Constituent Process of 1987/88, which was an important political time at the end of the twentieth century in Brazil. Marked by an ambivalence of vocations, the Brazilian Bar Association managed to move self confidently between corporate and institutional interests. It is by taking advantage of this characteristic and its history, mainly related to conflicts of legal and democratic nature, that we are motivated to immerse into a universe of this sui generis institution, drawing Law and Policy closer in such a way that they seem inseparable. The chosen arena, the Constituent of 1987, brings all the characteristic features of a good political novel , full of alliances and strategies. The topic that we report as ideal is the analysis of questions which involve setting up a Constitutional Court, proposed by the association, which went through procedures in the Subcommittee of the Judicial Power and the Public Prosecutor. One of the main obstacles was the centuries-old tradition of the Supreme Constitutional Court, an organ of the Judicial Power, which would be substituted, if the progressive intent of the Bar Association in Brazil had been successful. Moreover, taking this into account, we attempt to clarify which factors contributed to this frustration, even knowing that approximately 75% (seventy five percent) of the constituents belonging to the Subcommittee were professionally declared as lawyers.

This study aims at investigating the effects of using the swalesian genre analysis theory in the process of teacher education. The participants are pre-service teachers of English as a foreign language, who are in the third-year of their undergraduate course in Languages and Literature. The theoretical frameworks of this research combine the theory and pedagogy of genres and the theory of teacher education, the latter in light of the teacher cognition studies. The investigation can be classified as essentially qualitative, with an interpretive and ethnographic perspective. The data analysis process reveals that the use of the genre theory in language teacher education can be considered an adequate instrument for both, a better understanding of the text, ultimately promoting a better understanding of the situated use of the target language by student-teachers, as well as an exercise of methodological choices and implementation of education. These aspects, together, converged on an improvement of teacher knowledge. In this sense, this study contributes to the affirmation of the genre theory in English language teacher education by providing both, subsidy and varied perspectives to the process.

This research has, with main objective, the construction of activity ergonomics management model that is related operations strategies, developed from practical experience in the company with metal - mechanics production of white goods, involving a group of approximately 1.500 people and 400 workplaces, aimed at structuring an ergonomic action, based on the activity ergonomics, which it is aligned with the operations strategy and understanding the consequences (positive and negative) about ergonomics action, the perception of the operators and managers of the company, the relationship between health and work. The construction involved a participatory process the transformation of the working conditions and workplace conception. The theoretical-methodological approach has the assumptions of ergonomics work analysis and action research were used to construct the model based on the activity ergonomics of operations strategies related in order to emerge among all the actors involved greater understanding of the work, its determinants and constraints, as well as the instrument to represent the perceptions of the actors of this process and its contradictions. The demand started from high rates of removal by musculoskeletal disorders in the area of manufacturing company. The data were indicators that guided the certificates and clearances. Training, analysis / diagnosis and projects were the steps of action research. Relation about training, a ergonomics committee was formed with the performance of health professionals, process engineers and production supervisors. These actors were trained and helped to survey the descriptions of the task, the constraints involved, the rules and expected results and project items, so they would get to the point of view of activity and operations strategies, to further suggest recommendations necessary. Moreover, the process of analysis / diagnosis was developed from the ergonomics law (NR 17) with assumptions of ergonomic work analysis (AET). Finally, the stage was set designs from the results of a summary of the analysis / diagnosis. Every problem encountered was given a solution, aligning with operations strategies (organization of work, performance measures, process technologies, and human resources) through implementation of breaks, job rotation, procedure for development projects, order to modify the organization of work and technical and organizational design and in case devices, design of design processes and correction operations. From there, the team can count on financial support from the direction of the company and a specialized and skilled in analyzing work situations, innovative practices and active participation of the operator internal technical structure to generate credibility and consistency in actions that enhance and stimulate quality of work life.

The present study aimed to analyze and discuss the results of the analysis of the landscape at different scales and levels of details of its structure interfere in predicting the presence and population size of a species and environmental quality of a unit of study. For this, executest were three main steps: 1) The choice of the species of study; 2) Review the unit of study with different models for the species of study; and 3) Propositions for the unit of study. The choice of the species of study was based on a questionnaire to various ornithologists, where we tried to select the most suitable species for the study. For the analyzes of the study unit was used , on the conception of Landscape Ecology , tools such as scanning a satellite image obtained by Google Earth ® and landscape analysis by MapInfow ® program. Propositions for the unit of study was based on analysis of the model considered more real and critical to the species of study aiming at establishing minimum viable conditions for the establishment and maintenance of the species studied. This specie of study was chosen Antilophia galeata, the unit of study is located in the municipality of São Carlos (SP), and the whole basin of Ribeirao das Araras. This study showed that one must have a very great care in analyzing the most appropriate model for a given species, because the way that the landscape can be analyzed can generate completely different results and sometimes lagged the actual situation, as evidenced by this paper.

The manufacturing companies are increasingly investing time and attention to improving its operating performance by accepting that this is one of the few ways to be competitive in the medium and long term and thus leaving the short-term vision where operational improvements are mainly evaluated as cost reductions of production and labor. The manufacturing management must seek the proper standardization of operations, compliance with these standards and continuous improvement, using this as a basis for synchronization of material flows and information, and to guarantee the quality and safety requirements, as well as the increase responsibilities and autonomy of people in the workplace. This is the main base of lean manufacturing (lean), which, associated with the concept of semi autonomous teams (this aimed at increasing the responsibility of the workers), significant operational success is bringing to companies that have deepened in its implementation and support. This thesis presents six case studies where there was the application of a model of standardized work and the concept of semi-autonomous teams simultaneously in different plants of the same company in the Brazilian chemical industry. The developed approach was the adaptation and application of a systematic model with five pre-defined steps, and structuring teams with semi autonomous work patterns as well as their roles and responsibilities. The model applied in the six cases studied was adapted based on a reference from the company's headquarters and research of market practices, adapted to reality and to the organizational structure of these units. The plants studied have different levels of technology and products portfolio, as well as operation time that distanced up to four decades of each other, where it was observed significant impact on speed of deployment, with different levels of acceptance by the leadership and comprehensiveness of results arising from the application of the model. Quantitative aspects of implementation, such as Safety, Quality and Productivity, which showed significant weight gains after the implementation of the model were evaluated and achieved medium gains of 25% in Productivity, 33% in Quality and 47% reduction in setup times as well as qualitative aspects such as absenteeism, the perception of those involved on the shop floor by the physical change in the working environment and the impact of standardization and systematization of activities on the motivation and performance of employees working in the semi autonomous teams. As conclusions, it´s discussed the potential constraints that influence the greater or lesser success of the applications in each of the six units.

The amount of commercial laying hens in Brazil is estimated at 90 million, with an average production of 2.20 kg of poultry litter per bird. Therefore, it is necessary to seek appropriate management practices for the final destination of the waste, in order to minimize environmental impacts. Transforming waste into a by-product with economic value has been an important strategy, especially as an alternative source of nutrients to reduce the production costs of important agricultural crops. The 2013/2014 Brazilian maize crop reached 78 million tons. For technified crops, with expected productivity above 10 t ha-1, the crop may require amounts of nitrogen (N) greater than 150 kg ha-1, of which a large part can be supplied by alternative organic sources, such as pelleted laying hen litter (PLHL). The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of PLHL, applied at different times, as a source of N for the initial development of maize, AG-8061PRÓ hybrid. The experimental design used was completely randomized, consisting of seven treatments with four replications: T1 - control; T2 - conventional chemical fertilization; T3 - organic fertilization with incorporation of PLHL at sowing; T4 - organic fertilization with PLHL split application at sowing and topdressing; T5 - organic fertilization with PLHL at sowing, followed by 50% of the dose indicated for topdressing chemical fertilization; T6 - organic fertilization with PLHL at sowing, followed by 100% of the dose indicated for topdressing chemical fertilization; T7 - organic fertilization with PLHL at sowing, followed by 200% of the dose indicated for topdressing chemical fertilization. The effect of treatments on the supply of N by the PLHL was compared with those obtained by the treatment that provided N with ammonium sulfate and by the control treatment without fertilization. The biometric parameters evaluated at 90 days after planting were: height, stem diameter, and dry biomass. The results were subjected to analysis of variance, with subsequent comparison of means by the Tukey test (p<0.05). The management of N from PLHL, whose content was 21.0 g kg-1, considered the annual mineralization rate of 10% throughout the experimental period, resulting in the application 80 t ha-1 of PLHL at sowing, in the treatment T3, and 14 t ha-1 in treatments T4, T5, T6, and T7. Miaze plants grown with PLHL, either exclusively or in combination with chemical fertilizer, showed better results in height, stem diameter, and dry biomass than plants grown with conventional chemical fertilization. The application of PLHL incorporated in the soil provided greater increments in the biometric parameters of the maize plants. Fertilization with PLHL, as the only source of N applied at sowing, promoted better results than chemical fertilization or chemical fertilization combined with organic. It should be noted that the organic source as PLHL provides N gradually, decreasing the chances of toxicity or leachate losses. In the case of complete replacement of the mineral source of N by PLHL, a large amount of material is necessary to supply the requirements of the maize crop, which residual effect benefits subsequent crops, such as winter crops. There is, however, the option of combining the application of chemical and organic sources of N, with satisfactory results when compared to conventional chemical fertilization.

This dissertation presents an approach to proceed with semantic annotation in historical documents from the 19th century that discuss the constitution of the mother tongue, the Portuguese Language in Brazil. The objective is to generate a group of semantically annotated documents in agreement with a domain ontology. To provide this domain ontology, the IntrumentoLinguistico Ontology was built, and it supported the process of automatic semantic annotation. The results obtained with the annotation were analyzed in comparison with the Gold Standard and they presented an elevated level of coincidence, between 0.86 and 1.00 for the Fl-score measure. Besides that, it was possible to locate new documents about the discussed domain in a sample of the Revistas Brazileiras. These results prove the efficacy of the approach of automatic semantic annotation.

Hybrid filler reinforced thermoplastics composed with short glass fiber (GF) and different particulate fillers present special interest for engineering applications, as substantial reductions in mechanical anisotropy and molding warpage are expected from these systems as compared to the same characteristics inherent to binary composites with GF only. These improvements are achieved by the partial substitution of GF by particulate fillers and are attained at the cost of minor reductions in rigidity, strength and toughness properties of these ternary composites. However, when nanoscale fillers such as nanoclay (NC) are incorporated in GF-reinforced thermoplastics, the mechanical strength properties of these systems are severely affected, even at very low NC content. Thus in this work, using model GF-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites with varying total and relative concentrations of GF and organophylic montmorillonite clay (O-MMT) along with maleated PP as compatibilizer were twin-screw extrusion compounded with three different mixing protocols, in order to identify the factors leading to the observed loss in mechanical strength properties. Using tensile, flexural, izod impact and dynamic-mechanical (DMTA) characterization tests and electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) elucidation of the fiber-matrix interface/interphase microstructure, it is concluded that the physical presence of NC particles at the interface contributes towards the reduction of interfacial interactions. As a consequence of low interfacial adhesion between the nanoclay and polymeric matrix, debonding of the particles and the PP during mechanical testing occurs, leading to crack growth that anticipates ternary hybrid composites failure in stress levels lesser compared with that of binary composites. These hypotheses were corroborated by SEM and TEM analyses.

This study stems from an interest in examining the impact of school inclusion in terms of possible benefits of an academic nature, such as the acquisition of basic learning of reading for students with intellectual disabilities. The study aimed to examine the utilization of skills related to emergent literacy and basic skills of reading presented by a group of students with intellectual disabilities, attending the early elementary grades in regular rooms, and had the support of care specialized education provided in multifunctional features. Also sought to identify the expectations of the resource room s teacher and parents on the acquisition of academic learning by students. The sample consists of five students diagnosed with intellectual disability who attend regular classes of basic education and resource room. The data about the repertoire of reading and writing students were obtained through assessment instruments of knowledge and skills of emerging literacy, phonological awareness and reading and writing skills required in Basic Education. For three of the participants was used the Testing Colored Progressive Matrices Raven - General Scale, to obtain data about their intellectual level. Were used interviews to obtain data about the expectations and conditions relating to learning students' reading, presented by the resource room s teachers and family. The results indicate that students in the sample had familiarity with only a small portion and less critical of set components of emergent literacy and phonological awareness. Students no exhibited no familiarity with the skills of decoding individual words and texts, not reaching the minimum criteria for this stage of reading literacy. Also observed, in relation to the learning experiences of students in the resource room, they do not cover the promotion of relevant components for the acquisition of reading skills. We discuss the implications for the evaluation process and for teaching reading students with intellectual disabilities.

This dissertation focuses on the first ten years in the history of the Lima Barreto movie theater at the São Paulo Cultural Center (CCSP). Such a cinema theatre has not a separate legal status, but it is rather linked to Centro Cultural São Paulo, which is part of the São Paulo Department of Cultural Affairs. Both, Centro Cultural São Paulo and its cinema theatre were inaugurated in May 1982; the former being the largest cultural center of Latin America at that moment and the latter the first cinema theatre run by the local government of São Paulo city. 1992 was the last administration year, out of four, of the leftist mayor Luiza Erundina, which had the philosopher Marilena Chauí as the head of the Department of Cultural Affairs. This was the first left government to take São Paulo’s office since the end of the dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985). The ten-year period addressed by this research comprehends the consolidation of the role of São Paulo’s public cinema theatre as an art house cinema. It also comprehends an important period of democratic transition for Brazil which determined somehow the way cultural policies were thought by the local government during such a term, undergoing both improvements and setbacks. Ultimately, this research attempted to demonstrate that, above all, Centro Cultural São Paulo’s cinema theatre is a public infrastructure, therefore any research that intends to understand its role and potential must deal with its public nature, which means, among other things, following strict legal and administrative rules and facing adversities of the politic context. On the other hand, it also means it is able to integrate a major plan of action as an instrument of inclusive and democratic policies, which can furthermore foster the cultural diversity, encouraging new audiences and the film culture (watching, reading and discussing about films).

This study aims to analyze the genre of zombie movies establishing a dialogue between their narrative spaces, the historical contexts in which they are situated, and their connections to other works in different media, in an intermedial perspective. Therefore, this research sought to study three narrative spaces that were widely used in the films of the genre: the Caribbean space, used in 1930-1940 American films of the Haitian zombie; internal and external areas of the United States, seen in flesh eaters zombie films created by George Romero in the second half of the 20th century; and major world capitals destroyed, present in many contemporary zombie films from various countries. In this context, this study main objective is to perform a spatial analysis of zombie films, that explores the possible connections and interrelations between the colonial metropolis/colony, inside/outside, and national/global spatial dichotomies, with the historical and social contexts in which these works are contained.

This study aims to examine the relationship between memory of women, participation and education in the context of land reform settlements in the region of Sorocaba, using memories as object of study. Four thematic oral history interviews were conducted, whose themes were: Work, education, participation and politics. These memories revealed the participation process of settled and landless women, whom unveiled a clandestine history, shrouded in riddles in the bowels of restricted participation, politics, education, and the work dialectically substantiated by their experience. We concluded that these memories constructed other perspectives on gender and class as a way to interpret and maintain the resistance and struggles of daily life in four settlements in the region of Sorocaba.

Research on stimulus class formation in very young children can bring important contributions to our current understanding of relations between verbal operants and concept formation repertoire. The present research was composed of two studies. The first one had four experiments that investigated stimulus class formations with spoken word, dissimilar objects and objects with common features. The second one described relationship between toddlers spontaneous vocalizations and theirs performances during conditional discrimination tasks. Participants were 14 children aged 18 to 27 months were participants. Auditory-visual conditional discriminations were taught, stimulus equivalence class formation and generalization performances were tested. The training and testing consisted of matching to sample procedures (MTS). The samples were spoken words, tridimensional objects or stickers. The comparison stimuli were tridimensional objects or stickers. In training, correct responses were followed by access to the object, praise and stickers. Incorrect responses were followed by a blank page. The minimum learning criterion was three correct responses out of four trials for each relation within eight trials. Testing was presented with or without reinforcement (depending on the experiment). Seven children learned baseline relations. Three of them reached the learning criteria in tests which suggested stimulus class formation. One child maintained stimulus equivalence performances in follow-up testing after 90 days. Study 2 analyzed videos recorded from three experiments of Study 1with six participants aged 22 to 24 months. The participants who showed higher frequency of vocalizations also achieved the equivalence tests criterion. The participants who did not emit any vocalizations during learning trials did not reach conditional relations learning criteria. It were found in the studies, results in favor and against the Naming Theory suggesting that under certain circumstances, repertoires of language and performance equivalence can coexist independently.

The growing number of cyclists pedaling in Brazilian cities demand an effort of local governments to develop actions to make their cities more bicycle friendly. However, these actions have been carried out without a plan that ensures the necessary priority to bicycle mobility. Thus, this study sought to evaluate how much the Brazilian cities are bicycle friendly, its cyclability. The relief, climate, urban aspects, pollution, integration of cycling with public transport, the quality of roads, safety, cycling infrastructure and government actions of Brazilian cities were evaluated through an online questionnaire answered by 2,925 people throughout Brazil. The survey results presented in this work show a good picture of the current situation of cyclability in Brazil: lack quality of infrastructure, lack of comfortable roads, lack of security and lack of government commitment to bicycle mobility to change this reality.

The industrial model of filmmaking is structured by dividing the production of a film between three sectors. Production, distribution and exhibition, and the gradual and sequential content offer in the viewports. The distribution and exhibition sectors are responsible for the film commercialization, both work together in order to enable commercial success of production and monetize their own activities. Currently, the distribution activity is exercised by American conglomerates of media, the majors, and by independent distributors that operate on a national scale, usually with smaller films, called niche films. However, the development of new media and the communication media's convergence resulted in a model that proposes the content display on multiple windows and production by niche's demand . This research proposes to discuss and understand the role of the new display windows, potentiated by the convergence of media vehicles, as diffusion of alternative independent audiovisual productions. As an example, it will be discussed the distribution strategy for the movie 3 Efes (Carlos Gerbase, 2007).

A comparative study between Bergson and Descartes regarding their notion of duration, resulted in the development and composition of this research theme, which shows and ponders about the meaning and consequences of the conception of time from both thinkers within their own philosophies and methods of knowledge. The Bergsonian method of intuition and the mechanistic Cartesian model are presented and compared in terms of appropriateness to their respective metaphysical propositions. Relevant aspects of the activity of memory and intellect are highlighted to show the divergence between the views of Descartes and Bergson about these faculties. We discussed the Cartesian thesis of the independence between the time instants, in which duration is seen as a multitude of parts divisible and independent. This thesis was analyzed on the basis of the critique of the spatial representation of time, through which, the aspects of time spatialization were highlighted, such as simultaneity, immobility and discontinuity. The temporality of psychological states was also approached from Bergsonian and Cartesian philosophy. The continuous and uninterrupted movement of thought, described by Descartes, keeps resemblance to the description of the dynamics of consciousness duration in Bergson. However, only the second one paid attention to the indivisible character of duration as creation and incessant flow.
