It starts from assumption that primary health care has not been able to significantly change the model. The objective of this study was to analyze the merger of shares and public health technologies in the production of primary health care in different cities in the state of São Paulo from the perspective of Organisers of primary care. This is a descriptive and exploratory qualitative research. Study participants were the organizers of basic health care for the RRAS 13. To collect the data, we used semistructured interview technique and data analysis to thematic content analysis of Bardin. The results of this research are presented in the form of three articles, the first article, entitled "Primary Health Care: perceptions, knowledge and experience of the organizers of primary care" discussed the categories: a basic health care "is not staying on the base basic "; the articulator of primary care, professional approach and key in strengthening the link between state, county and health teams; the organizers of primary care program: a right initiative. The second article "The development of public health actions in articulating perspective of primary care" discussed the concepts that support the actions of public health; difficulties in the development of public health actions; facilitators contexts of public health actions; proposals to advance the construction and development of public health actions. The third article "public health practices in primary care" discussed collective health practices in primary care; and health surveillance practices. The results showed that the health teams have been building heterogeneously actions of public health in primary care.

Stroke is one of the chronic diseases that cause impairment, mainly motor and cognitive ones, which can compromise the functional capacity, making the subject dependent of care. In this context, it is family s responsibility to take care for the ill individual, assisting him in several everyday activities. The possibility of being a caregiver causes many changes in family dynamics, in the roles and in people's everyday lives. The extended period of care dispensed to the ill individual can also generate overburden and pain and hence threats to the quality of life of caregivers. This study aims to verify the presence of correlations between the level of independence and cognition in subjects with stroke and the level of overburden, pain and quality of life of their family caregivers. We sought to identify if the variables: age of the subject with stroke and caregiver, length of injury, rehabilitation and dispensed care, per capita income, physical, psychological, social and environmental aspects of family caregivers interfere in this relationship. Therefore, we adopted a correlation research with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of sixty (n = 60) subjects, of which thirty (n = 30) were adults, male, with stroke diagnosis for more than six months and placed in rehabilitation services; and the other thirty (n = 30) their respective family caregivers, who had dispensed care to these individuals for more than six months. To collect data, we proceeded with the application of an (i) Form with data about the subject with stroke, (ii) Mini-Mental Scale and (iii) the Functional the Independence Measure (iv) Form caregiver identification, to (v) Zarit Burden Interview Scale, the (vi) Visual Analogue Scale of Pain and (vii) WHOQOL Bref, and (i), (ii) and (iii) were applied to subjects with stroke and (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) to their family caregivers. Data analysis is based on a quantitative approach, using three forms of analysis, namely the simple descriptive, factorial and the Pearson correlation coefficient. In results, we presented findings that subjects with higher dependence levels were related to a greater number of cognitive impairment resulting from stroke and the need for further rehabilitation time as well as caregivers of over burdened stroke subjects showed higher levels of pain, with the latter conditions also related to lower levels of quality between them. It s concluded that this research provided important data which can foster new public policies, as well as actions related to Occupational Therapy, especially the ones which include the familiar caregiver.

In this work, different commercial carbon materials that could be used as electrodes for capacitive deionization were investigated: carbon cloth, carbon foam, carbon felt, carbon fiber, carbon veil and activated carbon powder (AC). The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface resistivity, wettability and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The performance in terms of electrosorption of NaCl was evaluated for different cell potentials. The AC electrode showed the best capacity of removing ions, and presented good values of charge efficiency (QE) and specific energy consumption (η) and, thusly, it was chosen to be modified using different techniques in an attempt to improve its characteristics aiming better results of electrosorption. Part of the strategies was the addition of carbon black and sodium chloride in order to improve the electrode conductivity and its macroporosity, respectively. A factorial experimental design was used to evaluate the effect of the AC mass, NA, mass of sodium chloride used in the electrode preparation and also the cell potential, on the capacity of removing ions (R), QE and η. The variables that showed the greatest effect on the CDI process was the cell potential and the AC mass (that create different thickness for the electrode). In spite of increasing the electrode conductivity, the NA did not show any improvement on the electrosorption of the electrode. Afterwards, an individual analysis showed that the use of sodium chloride to increase electrode macroporisity improved the capacity of the electrode to remove ions but just for the thickest electrode. However, it was verified that the increase of the thickness did not implied in a linear increase of the ion removal capacity. This behavior may be attributed to the non-uniform distribution of the electric field on the porous film. Thusly, even the thicker electrode showing a better capacity of removing ions, a great part of its mass was not being used for electrosorption. Additionally, the increase of the thickness led to a decrease on desorption. Those results indicate that the electrode thickness must be optimized. Another strategy to improve the electrode wettability and capacitance was the deposition of silica and alumina. It was observed an improvement on the wettability of the electrode, however those electrodes voltammograms showed an increase on the resistivity and as result, besides not presenting any improvement on the capacity of electrosorption, there was still a reduction of the ion removal kinect. Finally, the last strategy used to improve the AC electrode was the addition of the conducting polymer polypyrrole aiming to improve the electrode capacity of removing ions through the pseudo capacitance effect. The addition of polypyrrole increased the total of ions removed from solution, however, in all the cases, the values of QE and η were worse than those observed for the AC electrode. Due to the polypyrrole characteristics, the drying temperature used to prepare the electrode was reduced from 130°C to 80°C and when this temperature was reduced, it was verified that this variable had a strong effect on improving the capacity of removing ions and the energy efficiency of the AC electrode.

In this work the application of electrodes based on a composite of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene Oxide (VACNT-GO) as electrochemical sensor for the determination of pharmaceuticals from the statin class was explored. The VACNT-GO composite was synthesized by the Microwave Chemical Vapour Deposition (MWCVD) method, followed by oxygen plasma treatment. Using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it was possible to verify the exposition of graphene sheets functionalized with oxygenated groups (graphene oxide) in the VACNT tips after the oxygen plasma treatment. The oxygen content increased from 4.9% for the VACNT sample to 21.4% in the VACNT-GO sample case. Furthermore, the C:O ratio was equal to approximately 1.5 for the VACNT-GO sample, in accordance with the expected range for graphene oxide. Moreover, by measurements of the contact angle with distillated water, it was noted a drastic change of the sample surface wettability, changing from superhydrophobic for VACNT (contact angle = 157o) to superhydrophilic for VACNT-GO (contact angle ≈ 0o), enhancing the electrochemical application of the material in aqueous systems. From cyclic voltammetry assays conducted for the potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) probe, it was diagnosticated an electroactive area equivalent to approximately 80% of the geometric area and a high heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (3.4 × −2 −110 cm s ) for the VACNT-GO electrode, demonstrating the good electrochemical performance of the proposed electrodic material. Next, voltammetric methods for determination of the statins atorvastatin calcium (ATOR) and rosuvastatin calcium (ROS) were developed. Using Differential Pulse Adsorptive Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPAdASV) under optimized conditions, the constructed analytical curve for ATOR was linear in the range −8 −6 −1 −9from 9.0 × 10 to 3.8 × 10 mol L , with a limit of detection of 9.4 × 10 mol −1L . In the ROS drug case, the Square-Wave Adsorptive Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (SWAdASV) technique showed the better analytical performance, and also under optimized conditions, the analytical curve was linear in the ROS −7 −5 −1concentration range from 4.8 × 10 to 4.7 × 10 mol L , with a limit of −8 −1detection of 6.0 × 10 mol L . Both the voltammetric procedures were successfully applied in the ATOR and ROS determination in pharmaceutical formulations and synthetic biological samples (urine and human serum).

For many people, text proofreading is something purely exclusively technical, in virtue of their disregard for the complexity of the proofreading processes, such as suggestions made on another person’s text: which has a normative dimension, and thus ideological implications. In this context, we analyze discourses about reganding proofreading, materialized in texts collected from different forums. The goal is to understand the dynamics in which certain discourses are told (or untold), and how they are constructed by others in the traces where emerges a figure of the reviewer. Our corpus consists of a set of data: (i) discourses about the proofreading practices, putted into circulation in different spaces, such as foruns and specific courses for professional readers; (ii) texts relating to text revision practices in a Facebook community called Reviewers; and (iii) notes from editorial Co-enunciator engaged in a process of editing a distance learning textbook. The discussion is based on the theoretical concepts developed by Dominique Maingueneau (2008, 2010) in order to apprehend the Discursive machinery as enunciation scenes that implies a discursive ethos. It allows us to analyze the discursive place occupied by the editorial mediators, looking for the figure of text reviewer. Considering this issue, we also investigate, through the notion of editorial genetic rites proposed by Salgado (2011), the historical, opaque and heterogeneous conditions of the linguistic material with the text reviewer works. The theoretical and methodological guidelines are justified as far as the reflections leads us to a collective complexity, connecting different places and memories, revealing the central position of proofreading activity the publishing.

Background: Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is an overuse injury, but the factors that contribute to tendon overload are still unknown. The high prevalence of this injury in jumping athletes may be related to hip extensor and ankle plantar flexor weakness, which could lead to a preferential use of the quadriceps to absorb the impact forces acting on the lower limbs during landing. However, no previous study has evaluated hip and ankle strength in subjects with PT. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the eccentric hip and knee extensor and ankle plantar flexor peak torques and the knee/hip and knee/ankle ratios in athletes with symptomatic PT (SPTG), athletes with asymptomatic patellar tendon ultrasonographic abnormalities (APTG) and healthy controls (CG). Methods: Seventeen athletes (volleyball, basketball and handball) between 16 and 35 years of were enrolled in this study. They were divided into three groups: SPTG (n=6), APTG (n=5) and CG (n=6). Eccentric peak torque was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer. Differences between groups were evaluated by multivariance analysis (MANOVA) and the Tukey post-hoc test (α=0.05). Results: The SPTG had a lower eccentric knee extensor torque than the APTG (p=0.047) and the CG (p=0.035), and the APTG had a higher knee/ankle ratio than the SPTG (p=0.015). Conclusions: The SPTG had lower knee extensor torque than the other groups, which may have been due to pain inhibition. Additionally, the APTG had a higher knee/ankle ratio than the other groups, which may have been related to increased patellar tendon load. Prospective studies are needed to investigate whether these aspects are risk factors for PT.

Pain disorders are usually related to lower level of general health, quality of life and poores work performance. Brazilian studies show that pain disorders have been described as the second or third leading cause of absence from work. Therefore this replication study was conducted to evaluate a brief intervention program developed by Nash et al (2004) that could be implemented in companies or organizations, which would represent an important advance in dealing with this problem. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a brief intervention protocol, using behavioral and cognitive-behavioral techniques for administrative employees with chronic pain diagnoses. The impacts were evaluated along three dimensions: 1) self-perception of both pain and work impacts; 2) mental health indicators, including measures of depression, anxiety and stress; and 3) measures of functionality and quality of life. The study included five public service workers, between 36 and 61 years of age. Three women had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, one with Migraines and the other with neuritis. Time since diagnosis ranged from 2 to 7 years. The intervention was programmed using a multiple baseline procedure in four phases: 1) Baseline; 2) Module 1 (Psychoeducation about pain processes); 3) Module 2 (Relaxation Techniques); and 3) Module 3 (Stress and coping strategies). During the Initial Evaluations and over the course of the intervention, the following instrumentes were used: General Interview, Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults - Lipp (ISSL), Beck Depression and Anxietyies Inventory, FAST and the WHOQOL-BREF Scale. The Individual records showed a correlation between the intensity of pain and effectiveness in working conditions in general (r = 0.86, p <0.001) and for each of the participants. It was possible to observe the effect of the intervention at different times, for all participants. Initially, all participants had health care needs related to stress (four presented scores of resistance and one of almost exhaustion). Two had health care needs related to depression (P4 and P6) and two had process related to anxiety (P2 and P4). One participant (P4) had health care needs on all three measures. With regards to functionality, three respondents reported having difficulty in performing cognitive activities and one of the participants reported having difficulties in both controlling money and managing daily financial routines. The participants had average scores close to 50 points in the four areas assessed by the WHOQOL-BREF. Following the intervention, three of the five subjects had an increase in their total score for quality of life. Four participants also reported less difficulty with functionality, considering all the domains evaluated, with better performance observed in the autonomy domain. The strong points of the protocol were discussed along with challenges in its execution. Further research are needed to.

Edge influence, the set of modifications in the natural environment next to abrupt anthropogenic or natural edges, is a serious threat to biodiversity in fragmented environments. Common examples of edge influence include an increased abundance of exotic species and modifications in vegetation structure and/or composition. Edges of linear disturbances, such as roads, powerlines, and firebreaks, are especially important due to their ubiquity in the landscape. Although such disturbances are much narrower than other anthropogenic land uses, they have been shown to affect adjacent plant and animal communities. The combination of edge influence with the natural variation in vegetation may lead to complex and not easily discernible patterns. However, this natural variation is not usually taken into account in studies of edge influence. We employed a spatial pattern approach to study edge influence from narrow linear disturbances while accounting for variation in vegetation (both natural and from disturbance history), in Brazilian cerrado and in Canadian forest-tundra ecotone. Our main objectives were 1) to assess the overall heterogeneity in the cover of native and invasive graminoids, structural diversity and species composition, and 2) to verify whether the spatial pattern of different response variables is affected by anthropogenic edges. Secondary objectives include: 3) to explore different ways in which wavelet transforms and Monte Carlo simulations may be used to assess edge influence, 4) to compare different structural diversity indices, and 5) to assess whether the spatial patterns of different plant species are related to their functional traits. We sampled five 300-1350 m-long transects, three in Brazil and two in Canada. The transects contained one to five anthropogenic edges and one to ten natural edges and were divided into contiguous 1x1 m quadrats. In each quadrat, we estimated the cover of native and invasive graminoids (two transects in Brazil), sampled different structural elements to measure the structural diversity (two transects in Brazil and the two Canadian transects), and identified plant species and their dispersal syndromes and lifeforms (one transect in Brazil). We analyzed the data by means of continuous and discrete wavelet transforms and multiresolution analysis, and assessed significance by means of full randomizations, Markov chain simulations, and autoregressive models. Although some edge-related patterns were apparent for most variables, they were not observed at all edges, and similar patterns were also observed far from edges. The different structural diversity indices showed similar patterns, and species traits, namely lifeform and 8 dispersal syndrome, were not related to the spatial distribution of different species. The main conclusion of our study is that although narrow linear disturbance edges may alter vegetation structure and species composition, the conditions at edges are not necessarily different from what may be observed due to the natural variation in plant communities in non-forest vegetation. Keywords: autoregressive models, cerrado, dispersal syndromes, edge effects, invasive grasses, Markov chain, spatial pattern, structural diversity, tundra, wavelet transform.

Time is a key resource for humans, structuring its activities and daily life. This daily life organization also develops itself based on interests, wills, social roles and life stages of the subject. Regarding the elderly, studies show there specific occupations to this life stage, due to the transition of productive life for retirement. Whereas inherent specificities of this phase, this work aims to investigate the use of time for the elderly, identifying the complexity and the diversity of activities of this population. It were identified the social and physical context of these activities as well significance and satisfaction levels that the elderly attribute to the activities when performed. The sample consists of 51 elderly from São Carlos who participated in two seniors programs. It were as collection instruments The Daily Activities and semistructured interviews. The results showed that most of their time was spent with Activities of Daily Life and Practical Life (70%), followed by Leisure Activities (24%) and other (6%). According to the physical context, the home itself is where the participants performed the activities. Most of the time the elderly was alone (13.6 hours), but when accompanied, their main companies were family members (spouses and children). The sample was divided into groups, in order to accomplish comparisons in patterns of time use and their determinants among the groups. In general, it was found that there were no significant differences between the groups regarding the time use and physical contexts in which the activities were developed. As for the social context, it were found significant differences, being the elderly aged less or equal to 69 years (p=0,012) and those who were married (p=0,000) performed their activities more time together than alone. It was found that the day was almost fully occupied with satisfactory and meaningful activities for the sample, even if the elderly who practiced exercises have shown higher rates of satisfaction (p=0,045). This study may portray the time use of a portion of elderly, as well as their interests, preferences and needs. Thus, we can shed light to the knowledge of Occupational Therapy and many other areas that focus on the elderly population.

This work originated from previous investigations into a liberating curriculum development perspective in teaching about science teenage pregnancy by Freire's thematic approach. Once perceived the production of drive (trieb) poverty within their own science teaching, commonly associated with restrictive and biologist visions of sexuality, this study sought to build from previous investigations, presenting as research problem the following interrogative: to what extent teaching practices on sexuality, values and meanings can be a limiting humanizing conception on the theme and how critical pedagogy can help overcome this limitation? The idea was to build a theoretical chaining able to subsidize humanizing practices on sex education. For this, Herbert Marcuse s thought was used articulated to Paulo Freire s educational thought. In order to illustrate the theoretical development, an exploratory approach to the educational reality was searched through the analysis of Sexual Prevention Project developed at the state school John Climaco de Camargo Pires in Sorocaba-SP, using for that, document analysis, participant observation and semi-structured interviews. From the built theoretical articulation, three categories of analysis were formulated: emancipatory drive, critical sensitivity and aesthetics of Liberating Education. In synthesis, they discourse about the instinctual gratification opportunities through the break with lucrative rationality present in capitalist society. From a new rationality, linked to a new sensibility, focused on the life s promotion to glimpse the possibility of overcoming the rationality of domination. Within the sexual education, from an aesthetic conceiving defined in dialogicity, it was looked for a sensitive perception in the face of situations of dehumanization. Thus, the pedagogical practice about sex education in science teaching should provide sensitive perception of power for freedom via aesthetic dimension and awakening the need and the possibility of social and individual emancipation. Analysis of the Sexual Prevention Project allowed the perception of the overcome process failure of the restricted perspectives on sex education, being recurrent biologist approaches. As a possibility of overcoming and direction for a humanizing sex education, aesthetically, ethically and politically engaged, the perspective of curriculum development, via generating theme, is presented as a sociocultural construct with opportunities to put the subjects in praxiological movement for its humanization.

In recent years there has been growing interest in studies on the use of heterogeneous catalysts in the biodiesel production, since such materials have some advantages over homogeneous catalysts such as ease of separation of product generated and the possibility of being reused. Among these catalysts, it is important to emphasize the mesoporous molecular sieves, since they have some advantages that enable its catalytic application. This study aimed to synthesize spheres of hybrid silica, with mesoporous occluded by the driver structure (CTA-SiO2), and to investigate the influence of different alcohols in the properties of these materials and evaluate their catalytic activity in the transesterification reaction. The mesoporous silicas were synthesized with varying the length of the alkyl chain (C1-C3) and amount of alcohol in the reaction mixture. The silicas were characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray scattering at small angles (SAXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the structure and morphology of the mesoporous silica containing organic driver may be controlled during synthesis by varying alcohol content, leading to the formation of materials with different phases, levels of organization and morphology, with the best results obtained from the samples synthesized with methanol and ethanol. For the evaluation of activity and catalytic stability, hybrid silicas were tested in transesterification reaction between ethyl acetate and methanol. The materials showed activity, and when the pore structure is well organized, larger amount of catalytic sites is available resulting in higher conversions. Thus synthesized materials with lower amounts of alcohol had higher catalytic activity compared with other materials. Silicas synthesized showed little catalytic stability compared to successive uses in the transesterification reaction. Thus, materials synthesized with the use of smaller amounts of alcohol tended to stability in comparison to other samples. Part of the activity is due to the presence of basic species formed as a result of leaching of cations CTA+, promoting the reaction also in the homogeneous phase.

This study’s directive was to describe and comprehend educational processes developed in the relations between elderly residents in a Long-stay Institution for the Elderly (LSIE) as well as the elderly and people who attend and/or work in this facility. The field work was carried at the Elder Shelter "Dona Helena Dornfeld" in the city of São Carlos/SP throughout March and August 2014. Its development was held theoretically and methodologically by the Popular Education orientation, characterizing itself as a qualitative research with guiding principle the dialogue and the coexistence in which the researcher entered into the field performing participant observations, recording on field diaries as well as interview with and elderly woman who resided at the shelter. The data was analyzed from Minayo’s (2007) thematic approach, enabling the understanding of the relations set afterwards by a word, phrase or a summary that allowed a bundle of relations. From the data analysis three categories emerged, which were: I – "Being old", where the elderly woman under interview talked about positive and negative aspects of being old; II–“Living-Residing”, in which educational processes were unveiled regarding to having concrete experiences when being with other people who were previously not familiar to the elderly meaningful experiences towards life, coexistence, the creation of strategies for well-living in a new space, the realization of new realities and the crafting of a new set of skills and, finally, the third category: III– "Defiance-Compliance", from which educational processes emerged linked to the change of posture along many life situations, such as defiance, compliance and acceptance by the elderly new reality (residents at a shelter). This research brings forth contributions to the Education field by opening new paths to think and rethink human development by aiding in the exercise of reproducing a vision of our world. It also conveys contributions by highlighting educational processes at a LSIE and, in this way, carrying on the act of teaching-learning-teaching as present in the social practices outside the school. It also underwrites policies for elderly care by outlining reflections and actions at assistive spaces for the elderly person, in order to ensure that human rights are respected and well met, so that planning and functioning of these spaces are organized in a way to ensure the participatory management and the involvement of all parts interested.

Magnesium alloys have attracted great interest for use in temporary orthopedic implants to replace existing materials, due to the combination of physical, mechanical and corrosive properties. A magnesium based alloy containing zinc and calcium have been proposed and studied due to its biocompatibility and lower corrosion rate than the pure element. Zinc improves the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, increasing the potential for corrosion. Calcium promotes grain refinement during solidification and increases the strength and toughness with a second phase precipitation. Amorphous materials have greater homogeneity of composition resulting in improved corrosion resistance and mechanical properties due to the nature of its structure. Recent research at DEMa-UFSCar showed that levels close to 5% at. were more likely to the formation of amorphous phase. This work aims to study the influence of calcium content in relation to mechanical and corrosive properties. The processing method is also evaluated, taking as parameters the proximity of the composition with the theoretical values and the oxygen content in the composition of the final alloy. The materials were characterized through scanning electron microscopy techniques (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), chemical analysis by optical emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) and spectrometer absorption of infrared radiation, conventional compression test and potentiodynamic polarization test. The results show that the increase of calcium content favors both compressive strength and corrosion resistance.

The arrival of a new member in the family has repercussions on living together among themselves. It is different when it involves the premature birth of a child and the use of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and may cause a crisis in the family environment and affect all members and several changes in the family rotines, including becoming a sibling. In this sense, the work of nurse in a NICU permeates meet the needs of parents and families of newborns (NBs), and this includes siblings that often need a support for the continuation of daily routines, due to new feelings caused by the arrival of his sibling (premature) in the family and subsequent hospitalization. There are few studies that explore the sibling and experiences related to it. Thus, this study focused by the question "How the mother takes care of the son, brother of preterm children born, during this hospitalization in the NICU?". The aim of this study was to characterize maternal care to child who is the brother of preterm children born during this hospitalization in the NICU. Exploratory and qualitative research, supported by references Symbolic Interactionism and Narrative Research. Eight mothers joined the study. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the dialogues enabled us to understand that mothers are concerned with ensuring the care of her child who is the sibling, especially their emotional comfort during the hospitalization of premature child. They prospect suffering it forward to the arrival of a sibling and consider that their physical distance, imposed by premature birth and need to be present in the NICU, enhances it. So, enjoy and seek the social network support for such care, process encompassed the themes "WATCH THE CHILD AND SOCIAL SUPPORT". They worry about the possibility of the firstborn jealous and seek "PROMOTING THE ADAPTATION" it to the new situation, especially in terms of jealousy. The woman feels torn between the children and wonders about their actual "presence" along both. She needs and search for strengthening to handle your needs, maternal movement portrayed the theme "ASSURING HERSELF". the findings underscore the importance of understanding the support received by the sibling of premature born child, contributing with little research exploring the sibling and experiences related to him, and extending to the humanized practices in the context of prematurity.

This dissertation advocates for Humanizing Music Education, a term in education that places the human as priority, as well as its relations based on dialogue, curiosity, authonomy, otherness, amorousness, to be freedom through conscientization of educators and students about the potential and power to transform society. Authors that discuss education as Paulo Freire, Ernani Maria Fiori, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, António Nóvoa, in consonance with authors from Music Education as Carlos Kater, Hans Joachim Koellreutter, Teresa Mateiro, Claudia Belochio, among others, help to comprehend this concept on analysing humanizing elements of education together with what we understand of music education of quality. For a truly humanizing music education, it is necessary to educate teachers in humanization, which could help in the process of humanization of their students. We believe that in initial education, teachers learn and teach in a way that could be very usefull for its professional development as educator. The research strived to study knowledge about the influence of a government scholarship program for teaching initiation on future music educators and the construction of its professional identity considering the program, one of the main incentives of teaching which offers partnerships between school and university in a process of mutual implementation for the teacher education. Seeking to know from music educators, what are their most significative learnings during their participation in the program and what those experiences helped them in the construction of their professional identity, three subjects that graduated in Music Education and participated in the program during their initial formation were choosen. Through documental analysis, we analysed portfolios selected and sent by the subjects to find education processes that occurs during their participation in the program. After gathering the portfolios, individual open-interviews were done so that the subjects could, with the researcher, remember some learnings, talk about their professional practices after the formation and how affirm their professional identity, they are: "Learning of Teaching", Possible methodologies and Professional Identity". From the data collection, three analisys categories arose and revealed learnings in teaching, possibilities for methodology strategies created by their own at school and comprehensions about professional identity of each one. In the analisys process, we realized that we must valorize and create more and more programs, projects and actions at university that approximate and or introduce the future educators at schools daily routine and more, valorize the learnings of own future educators as equally important part of the disciplinary avaliations that occurs at university. We hope, with this research contribute to the area of education and music education and show that, even that the music educator does not act at basic education as a professional, the learnings generated from school, as we could see, will also contribute to the acting in other fields of music education and education if made with compromisse, respect, in other words, more humanizing practices.

The social changes that have been taking place in recent decades and the rapid advance of information and communication technologies are changing the role of education in contemporary society, transforming the way people learn. The need for competencies related to the search for and use of information is a constant requirement in this new scenario, and professionals linked to education, along with libraries and information systems, have a key role in the formation of the population. The present research aimed to verify the behaviour of search and use of information by students on the pedagogy degree course, in the distance-learning and on-campus modes, at the Federal University of Sao Carlos, focusing on the impact of new technologies on this behaviour. A review of the literature on information search behaviour was carried out for the theoretical basis of the research, in order to determine parameters for data collection among the students. From the methodological point of view, the research is a case study of a descriptiveexploratory nature. The collection instrument used was a questionnaire applied in person in both surveyed groups. From the completed questionnaires, a statistical analysis was performed by descriptive variables; the intersection of these variables; and inferential analysis by the classification tree method. With the results of this survey, it was possible to obtain a diagnosis of search behaviour of these students, demonstrating that in both modalities, information and communication technologies influence this behavior and put the student in a position of greater autonomy in relation to traditional library collections.

In the framework of foreign language teachers’ formation, studies points out that beliefs can influence teachers’ actions in the classroom and also that these professionals may recall their experiences as language learners in order to make decisions. Therefore, the identification of possible beliefs and the reflection about them are required steps to a better comprehension of the learner. According to Almeida Filho (1993), the beliefs are part of the Global Operation in the language teaching. Following the same thoughts, Barcelos (1995, 2001, 2004a/b, 2006) contributed to the consolidation of the concept of beliefs in Brazil. The present work aims to identify the beliefs about learning and teaching Spanish from students who are beginning the Language’s degree in Portuguese/Spanish, as well as to verify if there were any changes in relation to these beliefs during this research. Considering the qualitative and interpretative aspect of this research, it was used, as methodology, a mixed questionnaire, an autobiographical production and a semi-structured interview. Through these instruments, it was possible to observe the beliefs’ dynamicity. The results indicate a modification in relation to the belief of a supposed facility that Brazilians have to learn Spanish (Kulikowski & González, 1999). The data of this work also presents changes in the view of language as a list of words to be learned, which seems to be modified, prevailing cultural aspects in the language learning. Regarding to teaching, it was acknowledged beliefs related to the image of a good Spanish teacher and to the foreign language classes. The models mentioned by the participants are, largely, influenced by the classes at university and not by their experiences from the Elementary and High school. The study reveals the dynamic and heterogeneity aspect of the beliefs developed by the learners, who demand from their teachers’ professor/trainer a constant critical and reflective acting.

This investigation focuses on Adult Education (called Young and Adult People Education – EJA in Brazil) seen as an areas of social and educational impact. By analyzing its importance against the worrying situation of illiterate people in Brazil, the study aims at cooperating with the possibility to change this situation, since we believe in the importance of research developed in the Post-graduation programs as an element that enables discussions and actions related to the teaching activity such as the creation and execution of public policies. Thus some exploratory research was developed, characterized by metaresearch, to identify Master’s dissertations and Doctoral theses produced between 1987 and 2012 which reported findings regarding young and adult people education. The methodological procedures were based on the search for research with the descriptor "young and adult people education" in the Capes thesis database, and after the titles, keywords and abstracts were read, data was grouped by categories of topics investigated. This classification revealed that mother tongue teaching was one of the themes that presented the highest number in the search. Based on the data, the study prioritized understanding the knowledge produced in the area, enabling the identification and analysis of contributions provided by the Doctoral theses. The results led to some considerations such as: the importance of specific teacher training in this area, the relevance of knowing the EJA subjects and the need to expand post-graduation programs and investment (personal and financial) in this research area. Young and adult people education should be understood as a right rather than a mission or a favor, a social justice process.

The digital repositories of Distance Education encourages a broad learning, because they provide educational materials from the institution's courses, facilitating their recovery and access. To extend such access and allow free use of these materials, it is necessary that the digital repository has a proper open access policy that seeks to encompass aspects like content, submission, copyright, dissemination and digital preservation of materials. This research aims to study concepts and experiences, seeking to identify subsidies that contribute to the development of open access policies for digital repositories of learning objects in the context of Distance Education. The main steps of the research were conducting a systematic literature review, content analysis, and questionnaire to professionals responsible for the digital repository distance education sector of a higher education institution. Then the data were systematized, and proposed a set of eight guidelines to assist educational institutions to develop its own open access policy. The main results of this research were the proposed guidelines, organized into topics decision, display options in every decision, and discussion of its implications. The proposed guidelines relate to the topics: (1) types of materials deposited in the repository; (2) submission process materials; (3) forms of access to content; (4) copyright; (5) organizing the materials in the repository; (6) disposal and updating the materials; (7) dissemination strategies and encouragement of the use; and (8) file formats that are supported in the repository. The proposed guidelines can help institutions to build its own open access policy for digital repositories of learning objects in the context of distance education, and extending the sharing of knowledge produced within that framework for internal and external communities of higher education institutions.
