Homicides in Brazil have become a major social problem in recent decades. Young black males are the main victims. This paper presents a genealogy of the way black young people have brought the theme of murder and violence against blacks to the national agenda, from spaces of social participation, the black social movement and public youth policies. We conducted about 20 interviews with militants from black movements and other actors related to the topic. We also use data from fieldwork and participant observation, as well as reports, manifests, pamphlets and photographs, in order to understand when and how long these problems have been thematized. We tried to reflect on how the black movement thematicises violence / murder, its limits and potentials, contradictions and innovations in dialogue with social theory about recognition, identity and race relations. It has been possible to identify important moments of the trajectory of black movement, for example: violence as a reason for both performing public acts and for the emergence of organizations, such as the Unified Black Movement (MNU) until the 2000s; violence as the strongest theme of rap lyrics; and, in the last 15 years, violence / homicides against black youth as a central reason for the emergence of black youth as a new category of political action. In this work, gained prominence the Youth Alive Plan (2012-2013), the Working Group Black Youth and Public Policies of the National Youth Council (2008-2010), and The First National Conference of Black Youth (2005-2008) . Among the various ways of categorizing this issue, the term "genocide" draws attention - the was first used by Abdias do Nascimento to denounce racism and it is now widely used by social movements. Among the various forms of organization of young blacks, the claim for leadership of a brand new generation of militants is also emerging, with a set of experiences that allow them to create semantic bridges to act on the institutional sphere and demand public policies against violence.

What influence Family Health Program‟ (in portuguese, Programa Saúde da Família, or PSF) had on Brazilian states in their attempt to achieve the Millennium Development Goals - especially on reducing infant mortality until 2015? In 2000, the United Nations along with global leaders established an international research agenda with eight Millennium Development Goals, intending to promote human dignity. The purpose of the present thesis is to evaluate the influence of the Family Health Program - the main strategy to reformulate the basic care - in reducing child mortality within Brazilian states. For this matter, I analyze descriptive and inferential statistics, with bi and multivariate techniques, and data from DATASUS, IBGE and SIGO databases. The present thesis covers the period from 2000 to 2011, when Brazil reached the goal. Throughout this time ten states went above the goal specified by ODM (1,79): in all of them the Program had low range. However, the states with higher PSF range presented higher average rates of reduction of infant mortality. Overall, the hypothesis that PSF has a positive influence on reducing infant mortality rate can be confirmed, considering that the states with higher reduction of the rate had a higher proportion of population benefiting from the PSF.

After a careful evaluatation of my students, my principal investigator and I decided that students with difficulties in higher learning will be chosen, in this case, the first year of High School students in the three cities Jaboticabal, Monte Alto and Pontal. The math content to be worked upon was chosen from the assessment of difficulty students had learning first and second degree functions, as well as the importance the subject has when applied to other disciplines, such as Physics. To facilitate learning of these subjects, four activity sheets were composed to help improve text comprehension and reasoning, and consequently subject knowledge in such a way that the student builds the foundation concepts as to derive the affine and quadratic functions. Interactive exercises of multiple difficulties were prepared to inspire curiosity between students when solving problems. The exercises were designed to allow the students as much autonomy to finding solutions. The students were expected to develop: regularity identification, table-algebraic-graphic conversions, develop a problem situation without a previous explanation; relationship with the concept of affine function, justifying its proportionality; relationship with the concept of quadratic function; graphic analysis of quadratic functions; maximums and minimums; problems treatments on numeric fields and assay for algebraic fields; enthusiasm developing the activities; participation on activities discussion; the ability developing a problem situation with connection to different contexts; that the student had as much autonomy as possible on exercises solution; that the students build strategies and knowledge, given structure and organization to their thoughts, reaching a higher level of abstraction. Students were organized into pairs and encouraged to discuss while working on the activity sheet and review with each other in other classes the methods employed to solve the problems before the solutions were provided.

Literature reports that genetic polymorphisms may determine important modulations on athletes phenotypes, such as height, cardiovascular adaptations, use of energy substrates as well as electrolyte and hormonal balance. It is possible that individuals who express the alpha actinin 3 gene (ACTN3; ancestral homozygous RR or heterozygous RX) may offer advantages in movements that require strength and fast twitch compared with individuals with XX genotype. ACTN3 is a sarcomeric Z line component, which is important for the actin filaments anchorage and myofibrillar arrangement maintenance. Regarding AMP deaminase (AMPD1) polymorphism, it has been reported that athletes with the mutant allele (allele T) may present disadvantages in intense and repetitive physical activities, since the enzyme encoded by this gene is responsible for the ATP resynthesis after intense muscle contractions. Polymorphisms in the angiotensin converting enzyme gene (ACE; deletion allele D) and angiotensinogen (AGT; mutated allele T) may favor athletes in activities requiring strength, due to the fact of higher Angiotensin (Ang) II circulating levels. The present study investigated whether polymorphisms in ACTN3, AMPD1, ACE and AGT genes, alone or in combination, may influence the hemodynamic and cardiac parameters as well as soccer players performance during physical tests such as jump, speed and endurance. Saliva from 220 young professional soccer players (14-20 years) from São Paulo Futebol Clube (Brazil) was collected. Then, total DNA was extracted from saliva and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for genotyping of athletes. To provide more reliability to the study, athletes were also separated according to their age. Before this separation, the athletes with the mutation in the ACTN3 gene jumped lower heights in Squat Jump test (SJ) (RR/RX = 33.64 ± 5.31 vs XX = 30.81 ± 4.51 cm, p = 0.007), as well as in the Under (U)-15 (RR/RX = 34.88 ± 5.39 vs XX = 30.59 ± 4.07 cm, p = 0.04) and U- 17 (RR/RX = 35.82 ± 4.35 vs XX = 30.24 ± 5.16 cm, p = 0.01) categories. In the Counter Movement Jump test (CMJ), RR/RX jumped 37.26 ± 5.72 cm and XX 34.12 ± 4.84 cm (p = 0.005). In the U-17 category, RR/RX jumped 38.56 ± 5.69 cm and XX 32.90 ± 6.06 cm (p = 0.02). In the Counter Movement Jump with arms (CMJb) test, with all athletes, RR/RX jumped 43.85 ± 6.38 cm and XX 40.61 ± 5.06 cm (p = 0.009). The speed test (30 m) showed in the U-17 category that RR/RX were faster than the XX athletes (RR/RX = 4.13 ± 0.13 vs XX = 4.27 ± 0 17 s, p = 0.04). Regarding AMPD1 gene, no significant difference was found in the jumps and endurance tests, but in the speed test (10 m), CC athletes were faster than those with CT/TT genotypes (CC = 1.53 ± 0.19 vs CT/TT = 1.62 ± 0.16 s, p = 0.04). Athletes with DD genotype (ACE) jumped significantly higher in CMJb test compared with ID/II (DD = 44.37 ± 6.22 vs ID/II = 42.35 ± 6.23 cm, p = 0.02). In the U-17 category, DD athletes jumped higher in SJ (DD = 38.04 ± 5.00 vs ID/II = 33.16 ± 4.11 cm, p = 0.01), CMJ (DD = 41.03 ± 5.64 vs ID/II = 35.76 ± 4.26 cm, p = 0.01) and CMJb (DD = 48.62 ± 5.98 vs ID/II = 42.42 ± 4.81 cm, p = 0.007). In the endurance test, athletes from U-16 category with genotypes ID/II, traveled greater distances compared with DD (ID/II = 1.467 ± 63.70 vs DD =1.244 ± 64.25 m, p = 0.04). The DD genotype also favored athletes in speed test (30 m), either for players from U-14 category (DD = 4.29 ± 0.19 vs ID/II = 4.40 ± 0.16 s, p = 0.02) or for the U- 17 category (DD = 4.07 ± 0.15 vs ID/II = 4.20 ± 0.13 s, p = 0.04). AGT gene polymorphism did not influence the performance in the tests, but athletes with the mutant genotype (TT) showed greater left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy (114.6 ± 105.2 g/m2 for TT, 92.16 ± 18.88 g/m2 for MT and 94.78 ± 21.08 g/m2 for MM, p = 0.04) without any change in cardiac and other hemodynamic parameters. Greater LV hypertrophy (DD = 96.95 ± 19.96, ID = 90.14 ± 21.58 and II = 91.67 ± 21.09 g/m2, p = 0.04) and higher ejection fraction (DD = 71.73 ± 7.71, ID = 69.48 ± 6.51 and II = 68.59 ± 5.72 %, p = 0.02) were also found in the athletes with the DD genotype. The analysis of genes combination on athletic performance, when characteristics of strength and muscle fast twitch in the ranking by score were taken into account, showed that athletes with the highest scores (5-8) jumped higher than those with lower scores (1-4) in SJ test (score 5 to 8 = 33.80 ± 5.16 vs score 1 to 4 = 31.60 ± 5.22 cm, p = 0.01) and CMJ test (score 5 to 8 = 43.90 ± 6.85 vs score 1 to 4 = 41.87 ± 5.98 cm, p = 0.04). The present results suggest that RR/RX (ACTN3), DD (ACE) and CC (AMPD1) genotypes may benefit soccer players in activities requiring strength and fast twitch. In addition, ID/II genotypes seem to provide more resistance to athletes in endurance activity. In the future, the organization, standardization and ethical responsibility will be required in the management of these genetic markers for use in athletes training process.

One of the key factors for a successful resale of gas has, besides the relevant issues to any type of business it is maintaining a strategy aligned operations in which the Company Distributor maintains trade relations. Besides helping in the success of business strategies Distributor, resale becomes an agent of accomplishment and execution of the sale, despite its absolutely independent management. The goal of any organization, regardless of what it proposes to accomplish is to survive. But to enable such condition is very critical to have clearly defined what your positioning, as well as necessary for its operation presents a position to deliver the requirements sought by their customers attributes. In other words, this means that for an organization to be successful, it must, among other factors, the establishment of a goal to be achieved, the identification and understanding of the characteristics of competitors, differential required for operation and development of capabilities and new differential. This work aimed to study how dealers three gas companies, in northeastern Brazil, faithful to the same distributor develop their strategies and operations which the results obtained by them. To achieve this goal, first a literature able to support the development of a theoretical framework in order to develop a thorough knowledge of the subject studied and to establish a conceptual framework focused on field research, which was composed of studies was conducted case of exploratory and qualitative performed in each of the companies analyzed. After the description of the individual case studies, a cross was made of the results obtained, which were compared to identify similar characteristics and differences between companies. It was found that among the retailers studied, those with the highest level of integration with the distributor have trained to generate the expected results for its owners operating their function. In addition, issues such as defining strategic priorities, better level of service, investments and consistent development of decision areas become more favorable than that which does not share the same degree of integration.

Blends technology get by mechanical blend extends the range of polymer properties and makes it possible to fit them for specific applications. The performance and the mechanical properties of immiscible polymer blends are driven by the morphology and dependent on the type and process conditions, in addition to the Interfacial properties. Polymer blends containing nanoparticles have been studied in relation to two main roles that they can play in a blend; one related to improvement of properties (mechanical, thermal, electrical barrier, etc) and other related to the modification of miscibility/compatibility and blend morphology. In this work was evaluated the structuration of PP/PVMS blend with nanoparticles of Silica (SiO2) and Halloysite (HNT), the possibility of them acting as compatibilizer and best process conditions in twin screw extruder and injection molding to achieve a good dispersion and distribution and PVMS phase into PP matrix. Was made a previous study about nanoparticle content, time and mixture sequence, by torque reometer, to define the compositions which were studied in the next (extrusion and injection). Morphology and micro-rheology were studied and their correlation with the mechanical properties was made. By means of this analysis it was noticed that the PVMS domains were smaller in the nanoparticle presence, however were not small enough to toughen the blend. An increase in impact resistance was observed, proving that the nanoparticles showed an additive effect, but no synergistic. The best results were obtained for the blend with HNT that can be attributed to its greater aspect ratio and the content to be above the percolation threshold allowing the formation of a three-dimensional network that prevented PVMS coalescence by means of a physical barrier. Micro-rheology analysis indicated that the nanoparticles was located preferentially in the PP, while the wettability parameter indicated their were located on the interface. Both analyses can be explained by kinetic aspects, which demonstrated that the mixing time used blends preparation was not enough to all particles migrate to the interface.

The certified reference materials make an important role in the establishment of traceability in analytical chemistry, ensuring reliability and accuracy to the measurements and are fundamental for the validation of analytical methods. The demand for new certified reference materials increases in all areas of knowledge, with emphases to the agriculture. Basis for the production of farming products, the demand for soil analysis is great and the existence of a reference material of a typical Brazilian soil is important to ensure the quality of results. In this context, the present work describe the preparate and the characterization of a national reference material for Cr, Pb, Cd, and As soil contaminants and Ca, P, Mg, K, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Na macro and micronutrients. The material was produced following the internationally accepted ISO Guides 30-35 norms considering the preparation and packaging, homogeneity, short and long term stability, and material characterization and certification. A Typic Paleudult soil was artificially contaminated with As, Cd, Cr, and Pb, added as salt solutions from Pb(NO3)2; Cd(NO3)2.4H2O; Na2HAsO4.7H2O, and Cr(NO3)3.9H2O salts. After 12 month of contamination, 65 kg of soil was dried at room temperature, ground (particles size < 390μm), homogenized, packaged and irradiated with gamma ray (20 - 25 kGy) aiming to increase the shelf-life. The analyte soil extractions were based on methodology recommended by Brazilian legislation (CONAMA N° 420), with in turn follows the protocol established by American environmental agency (USEPA 3051). It was performed by assisted microwave oven with the use of 14 mol L-1 HNO3. The evaluation of the estimate minimum amount, homogeneity and stability of the material were carried out, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES) determination technique. The results were submitted to analysis of variance of single factor (ANOVA). The homogeneity and stability of the material presented means within a confidence interval of 95% for As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Ca, Cu, Fe, Na, K, Mg, Mn, and P. The chemical characterization of the material was performed through a collaborative test and the uncertainties related to each step of the material prepare were calculated to obtain the expanded uncertainty for each one of the analytes and to the final drafting of the control chart with the results of the reference material.

The objective of this research is to analyze the intellectual production of Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira. The two main themes in his work are development and bureaucracy, accompanied, however, by a whole thematic constellation that gravitates around them – media class, nation, political pacts, state, entrepreneur, inflation, among others. Methodologically, it starts from the analytical suggestions of linguistic contextualism and from the research program on Brazilian political thought lineages, taken as assumption that the thought is a mode of political action. Thus, it is described, in the trajectory and work of Bresser-Pereira, the rupture and discontinuity – most visible elements –, but the regularity and resumption too. The main result of research is that the his intellectual production acquires more sense when referred to his performance in the many contexts in which it has moved. Not only factual contexts, but linguistic too. That means, it is his trajectory as actor and author that gives more sense to his work.

This study aims to understand and clarify the role of the former Minister of Federal Administration and State Reform (1995 1998), Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, in the strategic position of the main formulator of the public management reform in Brazil. In this sense, we will provide a Reform explanation observing how the political and intellectual construction of this public policy directly derived from the persuasive action Bresser Pereira in exercising the "power of ideas". Here, we consider as essential the structural limits of the Ministry of Federal Administration and State Reform as the fundamental political and institutional locus for the formulation of policy reform. Thus, through the analysis of the profile and policy measures undertaken by the former minister Bresser, according to the theoretical framework adopted, with particular emphasis on the theoretical model of John Kingdon, we verify the existence of a typical policy entrepreneur in action. Therefore, we demonstrate that Bresser Pereira exercised the intellectual and political leadership at the time of construction and dissemination of the main principles of the o called "New Public Management" in Brazil, supporting the reform policy of the first Fernando Henrique Cardoso s administration. Our focus on the performance and characteristic profile of the chosen entrepreneur reveals that the individual action of the actors is an important dimension in public policy production process. Thus, we intend to contribute to enrich the academic production in the field of political science and its intersection with the area of public policy, filling analytical gaps about the performance of policy entrepreneurs, providing a new theoretical and empirical analysis research about the State Reform in Brazil.

This paper aims to propose the inclusion of the Arduino microcontroller in Physics classes in a public high school. To this intent, a learning situation on the theme Light and Color was suggested, based on meaningful learning and on the use of an interactive and easy to handle experiment. The daily life of students is packed with technologies that hold plenty of Physics’ concepts and applications. The intention to introduce the Arduino microcontroller in Physics classes was to arouse the curiosity and awaken in them the investigative character necessary to the study of Physics while they deal with technological elements that are part of their contemporary culture. The developed activity enables the investigation and allows students to participate more actively in their learning process. During the activity, groups of students tested some possibilities of light mixtures and the relationship between the incident light with the color of the light reflected by the objects. To record and learning verification purposes, a pretest, a posttest, a summative evaluation, teacher’s records and, lastly, a self-assessment were performed. It is possible to conclude that the activity was successful and has awakened the curiosity of the students, enabled conceptual growth and showed evidence of significant learning.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological technique used to relieve pain. In general, the literature states that the analgesic results obtained with TENS are true, but when subjected to a statistical analysis did not show significant, hindering the development of an efficient and statistically significant script for the application of TENS. For that, we developed strategies that may increase the analgesic effectiveness of TENS, suggest a new methodology for their application form, using in a primary dysmenorrhea pain model to test its effectiveness. Where the first two studies aimed to verify the potential analgesic of the proposed method (interactive TENS) in primary dysmenorrhea were performed. Volunteers (124) between 18 to 36 years old with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly allocated into two groups: (A) iTENS (n=62) and (B) placebo (n=62) received a single application in a single menstrual cycle. Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after application. Data were analyzed using independent t test to compare the effect of iTENS versus placebo (p <0.01). Results with VAS show a significant reduction in pain intensity for both groups: group A of 7.58 (± 1.36) before to 0.01 (± 0.05) after application and in group B 7.65 (± 1.28) to 7.0 (± 1.36). However, the total number of participants who received iTENS application, 93.5% reported effective analgesia, with an average duration of 8.5 hours, and 22.5% of them there was no return of dysmenorrhea during the next menstrual cycle. The second study aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of interactive TENS in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea, and verify that the concentration of salivary cortisol can be used as a quantitative tool as measurement of analgesia. Volunteers (36) between 18 to 36 years with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (n=17) received an application of iTENS in three menstrual cycles (consecutive) and Group B (n=19) received a placebo TENS application in a single menstrual cycle, wherein the duration of each application was 35 minutes. The evaluation was accomplished through the following analysis: pain intensity was assessed by VAS; salivary cortisol level by electrochemical-luminescence; physical discomfort associated with dysmenorrhea by Smith Pregnancy Discomfort Intensity Index (SPADI); depressive state, by the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck Depression Inventory) (BDI) and quality of life with the WHOQOL-Bref. Data were statistically analyzed with the Statistica software, and the normality by Shapiro-Wilk test, pre and post treatment effects (both groups) by the nonparametric Wilcoxon test and comparison of data between groups after treatment adopted the non parametric test Mann-Whitney. The level of significance was 5% (p≤0.05). Comparing the results obtained analgesia between groups (after the first application), we notice a significant decrease (p<0.001) in VAS score in the group of iTENS, with an average duration of analgesia of 7.1 hours. There was an average reduction of salivary cortisol levels in volunteers from both groups, but the reductions intra-group and inter-group were not significant. Furthermore, treatment with the iTENS provided a significant reduction in the use of analgesic medications, the physical discomforts associated with dysmenorrhea and a real improvement in the quality of life of treated group (A). We can concluded that iTENS method besides being an effective palliative feature is also potentially curative for primary dysmenorrhea. The level of salivary cortisol is not adequate to evaluate the analgesic response in dysmenorrhea promoted by iTENS in pain index. However, other studies should be conducted with the aim to confirm these results.

Modern zoos have an important role to play in conservation and there is a growing concern for animal welfare, not only by the expectation of the public , but also by increasing knowledge about the needs of animals in captivity . Increase the available alternatives of choice for the animal, the richness of his social life , the availability of new items in the room, the opportunities it has to perform more natural behaviors for the species are some of the strategies that are assumed to promote high levels welfare ( Young, 2003) .In this context, environmental enrichment techniques are developed . The social enrichment is one of the most durable types of enrichment, since the predictability and habituation are less likely to happen than with most other types of enrichment. The social environment of many species is a constant source of mental stimulation, with a complex and hard to be replaced by any other form of environmental enrichment ( Humphrey , 1976) variety. Thus, a factor considered important for the welfare of captive social animals is the presence of conspecifics sharing the same enclosure, but the social housing solitary species has received little attention from scientists in terms of their implications for the welfare. This study investigated the effect of different conditions of social housing on the behavior s display for 10 lesser anteaters ( Tamandua tetradactyla ) on captivity. It was found that paired animals were more active, showed more records of typical behavior and a greater variety of behaviors than the animals housed individually. These results suggest that contact with conspecifics in captive conditions can promote higher levels of psychological well -being for these animals.

This research aims to study the creative process of the Brazilian film “O Bravo Guerreiro” (The Brave Warrior), 1969, Gustavo Dahl, from the analysis, description and comparison of the different versions of scripts and other peripheral documents belonged to the film. These files are deposited in “Cinemateca Brasileira” and many of them have not been officially cataloged. Thus one of the efforts of this paper will be to detail them seeking reach the poetic project of the author, revealing its esthetic and ethical principles of that moment. The theoretical support offered by academics in Critics of Creative processes will be the main tool for this task. We intend to use this material, the result of the comparative reading of scripts and other documents, to understand the Brazilian political and cultural context of the late 60's, taking as basis for such work theories that allows to think the examination of film documents, in addition to film, as a source for the writing of history.

This research analyzes the proposal of creation of the National Agency of Cinema and Audiovisual (Ancinav), presented in 2004 by the Ministry of Culture in the form of a project. This was a large proposal that tried to cover the entire audiovisual sector, and not only the cinema. Through its measures, it tried to integrate the sector and upgrade its legislation, and stimulate independent and regional production. The dissertation describes and analyzes the context in which the proposal was written, its goals and its impact. After the analysis, hypotheses about the failure of the project, which was never sent to the Congress, are raised.

In our lab, for over two decades we have designed and carried out studies that regard teaching and control of basic emerging verbal behavior. Functional independence of tact and mand, as well as responding as listener and speaker are some examples of research aims that caught our attention in the past eight years. In this context, the three articles presented here are a result of seven studies carried out as part of a doctoral research (article 1: studies 1 and 2; article 2: studies 3 to 5; article 3, studies 6 and 7) and feature the history of an experimental pursuit of variables that may account for the establishment of the listenerspeaker bidirectional relation. All three articles investigate the effects of echoic responding in MTS tasks that teach listener behavior and test the emergence of tact. Studies 1 through 5 (articles 1 and 2) carried out with adult participants set an investigative and preparatory condition for the following studies carried out with children with autism and with typical development who present poor verbal repertory. Article 1 aimed to compare the effects of traditional MTS procedures with a modified procedure that adds an echoic differential observing response (DOR) to auditory model stimuli when teaching listener relations and testing the emergence of tact. In article 2 we aimed to extend the analysis of the second procedure s effect when teaching other conditional relations. The analysis of results in articles 1 and 2 was parsimonious, but directed to methodological and conceptual aspects for considering that participants were adults that already presented naming. Article 3 accounts for the most careful product of the current study, however it does not provide conclusive results. General results show that adding a echoic DOR of in the MTS task have not assured but produced superior effects compared to traditional MTS tasks when teaching auditory‐visual relations and testing the emergence of tact and other derived discriminations. Careful analyses on methodological gaps and controlling variables of the teaching procedure are, possibly, the most precious information provided in all three articles. Replications are required and suggested with details as means to make progress in the central research problem that regards the emergence of basic verbal relations.

The knowledge of the high school students on the various topics of Astronomy today is worse than expected. This study aims to investigate the current level of knowledge in Astronomy of high school students from a public school in the city of Pirassununga, São Paulo, and create an alternative learning situation to contribute to this learning. The choosen tool was the ludic activity titled Através do Cosmos. The challenge is to create a profitable and fun activity by instigating students to solve problems and act socially. To this didactic sequence, a diagnosis questionnaire was initially applied to ascertain the students' prior knowledge. Next, the students were subjected to a cycle of lectures, finished with another questionnaire. Finally the ludic activity was applied in groups of three or four students. After the cycle of games, an assessment which was asked the students' opinions regarding the activity was performed. The results showed that, due to some difficulties during the process, the knowledge acquired by them was less than expected, but the ludic activity was a success among students and showed that it has potential for future applications and enhancements.

During the First Republic (1889 - 1930), numerous conflicts between oligarchs occurred in the Brazilian states. In Mato Grosso, three Disputes oligarchic marked the political life of the state in 1892, 1899 and 1906. They were due to disputes between the state elites for control of political power. In 1892, Ponce and Murtinho oligarchies together competed with the Antonio s Maria Coelho group, governor since 1899. Ponce and Murtinho won, until in 1899 disruption occurred between them, when Ponce was defeated. These two oligarchies unite again in 1906 to defeat an enemy uncommon: the governor of the state of Mato Grosso Antonio Paes de Barros, who was murdered in this episode. This research proposes to analyze the specifics of the Mato Grosso oligarchies and its consequences for the political practices in the state of Mato Grosso in the period 1892-1906. Thus, we investigated the formation and consolidation of these two oligarchies, for understand how relationships between Ponce and Murtinho oligarchies interfered in the politics of Mato Grosso. We also considered the relationship between the municipal and state (Ponce and their local chiefs) and between state and federal (connection of Ponce and Joaquim Murtinho, the interference continues, or omission of Presidents of the Republic and the use of the Verification of Credentials Committee). Was used as a theoretical literature on Community Power Structure, Coronelismo e Neo-institutionalism.

The proposed work for this research, entitled Biotechnology, bioethics, biolaw,biosecurity and biodefense in the DCBRNE context: actuality, challenges and perspectives is considered controversial, and in the language of national defense, it is a sensitive issue because it is related to the different interface controversial fields of legal, military, political and religious content within the scientific-technological context of biotechnology, biosafety, bioethics and biolaw. This dissertation is intended in particular to reflect the related issues and their applicability in the Brazilian legal system, as well as in the relationship between public agencies in their conduct, in order to elucidate the best possible way some of the many questions of Biotechnology trinomial bioethics-biolaw when applied to areas of biodefense and biosecurity in the context of defense CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives). There is no doubt that in this universe of areas, biotechnology plays probably the main role. The present study is based on digital, booklets, handbooks, journals and medicalscientific publications and research knowledge gained in the course of the profession of Military State Police as a Lieutenant of that force, having several courses of area as well as in civil training of Bachelor of Law with as a member of the Order of Lawyers of Brazil. Among other conclusions, it appears the lack of disclosure over actions against CBRNE incidents, operations centers to assume coordination of events and training, and training materials for this type of threats especially those conducting the first calls (responsiveness), not to mention the health situation in the hospitals and medical care, which also unaware of how to individualize the onset of diseases, which are very similar. Throughout the realization of this project, it was possible to verify that all the material gathered here, analyzed and discussed there, as far as we know, does not exist neither in Portuguese nor English. Thus, we believe that it will become an important reference material and consultation mainly by the various agencies that deal with public safety and national defense, in particular, those related to CBRNE defense.
