This thesis analyzes basic education policies to the camp in the State of Tocantins, implemented especially from 1990. Situated in the context of educational reforms oriented by international agencies committed to the capitalist mode of production - in order to forge an education adequate for the ideological domination and meet the demands of the labor market - the educational policy aimed at the working class in the camp is analyzed from a critical reading about state and public policies in the context of capitalism and of its cyclical crises. It´s evident in these paper the role of the state in the capital of the expansion process in the camp, as well as its consequences for the working class, which are expressed on the one hand, in the advance of agribusiness, and, second, in precarious conditions labor and return productive relationships already considered extirpated in society as slave labor in its contemporary setting. In the analysis carried out are taken as specific references so-called Citizenship Territories - elements of the contemporary process of territorialization of public policies for the camp - to allow the reflections on education policies for the camp in Tocantins. The focus is also the analysis of the theoretical production drawn up by the "Movement for a Rural Education," highlighting the contradictions present in such proposals, its limits, scope and possibilities. The simultaneous recurrence of Marxist Theory and the adoption of dialectical historical materialism, let along the paper to undertake the critical forms of support of capitalist society, while seeking the chances of your passing. In this sense, the reflections developed along this thesis depart from the principle of education is not an isolated one, that one understands neither be explained by itself. The analysis of its possibilities, limits, quality and extent, cannot therefore dispense with consideration of the material basis of society, of its organization and operation of its contradictions and present her class antagonisms. The final considerations will assert a lack of education policies to the camp in Tocantins, that would, in fact, the interests of the working class in the camp, and affirm the importance of the dialectic of the immediate components in theoretical and practical concepts of current educational policies for the camp, so that is enhanced manufacturing dimension of school education practices from the perspective of human emancipation and overcoming class society.

This research integrates design Municipal Public Policy Children's Education: diagnosis and research, OBEDUC program (Education Observatory). Funded by CAPES, this dissertation aims to investigate and identify the different theoretical and methodological approaches of what was produced in Brazil from 1993 to 2013, within of 'evaluation' of 'quality' in Early Childhood Education (ECE). To understand the production of 'quality' as a social construction within the concept "will to truth", was used as the theoretical framework of assumptions Foucault (2012, 1988, 1979) on power relations and building a "want to know". As a methodological direction, avail ourselves of the construction of the concept of 'quality' from cartography, which provides the ability to understand it as a social invention without subjecting the linear temporal dimensions as key facts and lets think of it as a cross concept forces of relationships that need to be considered to achieve their size (BARROS; KASTRUP, 2010). This research was divided into three phases: the first involves the description of the process of looking for work in digital databases through the descriptors evaluation , quality and early childhood education . The selected databases were SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Anped (National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Education), BDTD (Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations), Ana Maria Poppovic Library (BAMP) of the Carlos Chagas Foundation (FCC) and CAPES Journal. The second phase describes the process of organization and construction of thematic groupings for analysis, guided by a roadmap of features for reading that allowed grouping the research, according to their theoretical and methodological similarities. The third phase presents the explanation of each research from the perspective of their respective group and discusses the main theoretical directions that permeate its construction. In total, we analyzed 43 studies that evidence the main theoretical and methodological approaches that have built the evaluation of the 'quality' in ECE, particularly from the perspective of environmental psychology, the use of environment assessment scales and as a preparation for teaching fundamental. We believe that the 'quality' as a social invention is constructed as a political activity in the primary sense of the term, that is, as an activity that organizes and directs the Early Childhood Education.

The art goes through transformations on elapse of time, as do the resources and techniques used to produce it, and it s transformed as well as the predominant medium of communication alleged experience mediation. At the beginning of the 20th century Benjamin identified this process and analysed its effects, particularly through movies (BENJAMIN, 1987) and nowadays, with digital movie development, we observe several transformations which impact movie s language and the ways that spectators interact with it. Under the hypothesis that techniques applied to digital movies modify the way that spectators interact with the film, we develop our research on defining a cutout on stereoscopy, which produces the depth effect on 3D movies, and the use of CGI (computer generated imagery), which consists in computer created and animated images, having the target to discuss the impact of these resources on spectator s experience of interaction with movies, and more specifically to investigate new features of digital cinema aiming to understand what are the possible changes on movie s language and broached contents, as well as recognizing features of the ways of perception that might come up on this circumstances. For these purposes we develop a theoretical and empirical research grounded on the theoretical references of Critical Theory of Society.

The thesis herein focuses on the concept of cultural intelligence from the perspective of dialogical learning based on the understanding of their potential contributions to the achievement of school success. It is grounded on a theoretical research carried out under the main objective of demonstrating the application and development of the concept of cultural intelligence by the Centre of Research in Theories and Practices to Overcome Inequalities (CREA) of the University of Barcelona, Spain, and identifying theories and concepts underlying such a development. This concept has been constituted by CREA since the 1990s from studies and scientific evidence that all people develop skills and abilities in contexts that foster communication and dialogue on equal footing. By offering these ideal communicative conditions, such skills can be transferred to other contexts and therefore form the basis for new learning. The recognition of the cultural intelligence of socially vulnerable groups allows the achievement of maximum learning in different educational settings, including at school. In order to defend this thesis through formal argument, we used the books, articles of the international scientific community and research reports from CREA, whose data were treated by bibliographic research procedures and content analysis techniques. Based on the results of this research, it can be stated that the concept of cultural intelligence was constituted by CREA through the deepening and broadening of their theoretical basis, development and consolidation of research methodology, as well as dissemination and dialogue on evidence and results of their research. To support this concept, CREA has presented evidence that the concept of cultural intelligence provides a broader notion of intelligence, advancing on the understanding that different intelligences can be integrated around the communicative intelligence. By adopting the cultural intelligence as the premise for research methodology, CREA revealed that it is necessary to integrate socially vulnerable groups to social sciences and education research, thus overcoming interposed hierarchies in the forms of knowledge to create social and scientifically relevant knowledge. Promoting favorable communicative contexts to share and validate results of their research, CREA showed that knowledge in education is not ultimate and must meet the constant changes in social, political, economic and cultural contexts. Based on the evidence offered by the researched sources, it is concluded that human intelligence is constituted in social and educational contexts which are in permanent transformation. To achieve success in these contexts, conditions should be created for people to show their skills by using their capabilities and language skills to do so. It should be considered that access to knowledge and information are decisive factors for social inclusion and that educational settings are in increasing interconnection. It is corroborated the interconnection among the different intelligences might favor success achievement in different contexts of action and that it contributes to overcome hegemonic parameters of subjects, skills, educational contexts and forms of knowledge.

The choosing of work of young doctors professors , as mean topic of this thesis, represents the author study about the scientific production and everyday work of professors with less than 10 years of doctoral experience, who are able to provide a differential profile in the knowledge transmission. The goal of this research is to understand the speech of the most productive young doctors professors of UFSCar, with the Productivity in Research scholarship, and linked with post-graduation programs, about their work and knowledge production. Therefore, the research identifies the process of public university expansion, especially in the post-graduation, and their influences in the professors work, in the case of UFSCar, analyzing the professors academic production and their opinion about the university work: teaching, researches, post-graduation and production. The research tries to understand in which way, the State, finally, through their promotion agencies (CAPES and CNPQ), regulates, supports and orientates the knowledge production and the work of the professor-researcher. The exposed data about the scientific production and professors testimonials were essential to the work analysis, and to the everyday dynamic presented. Among the presented results, can be considered that the young doctors professors presents intersection points in the university praxis, which leads us to design a profile about their work, whose adaptation to the way of make science reveals the contradiction imposed to the university and to the smaller and smaller place, given to the criticism intellectual. Finally, the exercise become to two contradictory speeches: the passion for the teaching work and the estrangement and pressure created for the work itself. It is clear that, in the context of the international cooperation, an strategy to promote the creation of research teams at the universities, and the high production of knowledge, have became goals in the regulation of those promotion agencies, clearly driven at the necessary speed to follow the world technological changes, and the reasons for which, Brazil should advance, being a big effort, creating capabilities and competences in strategical areas, through researches and researchers, specially young-doctors.

That bibliographic theoretical-characterized survey has been as its beginning the following question: How is an individual constituted? By searching the solution for this question, we have mainly based on the thesis of Gilbert Simondon, a French philosopher, The Individuation under the Light of Notions about Shape and Information (1958), which along with the comprehension about his concepts, sought in natural sciences like inequality, meta stability and transduction. That permitted not only to understand the individual from his individuation process, but also to realize an occurring reality that antecedes it a reality that Simondon himself called pre individual. Moreover, since Simondon show us that the being is never to individuate himself, that pre-individual reality both coexists with the individual and will be his genesis. This point in Simondon s philosophy will make possible for us to answer our own questions. Would the individuation processes not be distinguishing processes, too? In case affirmative, would these singularization processes not be a deindividuation, too? In order to answer our own questions, we have performed, face to Simondon s proposal surveys about the philosophy of difference proposed by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the psychoanalyst Felis Guattari, and by Deleuze s comments about Simondon s philosophy. We have permitted ourselves, therefore, to perform an approach to education, which led us, not only to propose a new manner of understanding education, but also rethinking its practices. For that, we have had to delimitate a theoretical field made up by so many other surveys and texts, which could approximate to what we have performed, that is, which worked out with Simondon, the philosophy of difference and education.

Background and objective: Dysanapsis ratio (DR), peak oxygen uptake (VO₂ peak) and age are studied as determinants of expiratory flow limitation (EFL) during exercise. However, it is not yet known whether they can elucidate EFL in young and middle-aged healthy individuals of the same sex. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction between determinants of LFE (VO₂ peak, DR and age) during different exercise intensities performed in cycle ergometer. Methods: Twenty Two men, 11 young men, and 11 middle-aged men performed the following tests: measurement of respiratory muscle strength, lung function test (DR), cardiopulmonary test (VO₂ peak), and two constant load tests to assess EFL at loads of 75% and 125% of gas exchange threshold (GET). The unpaired t test and the Mann-Whitney test were used to compare groups and two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the effect of age and exercise intensity on the variables of the constant load test (CLT). Stepwise multiple regression was used to analyze the interaction between VO₂ peak, DR, and age and EFL. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: Only the middle-aged group presented EFL at both exercise intensities; the groups were similar in relation to respiratory muscle strength, VO₂ peak, and DR; EFL was not associated with VO₂ peak or DR, but it was associated with age during high-intensity exercise (p<0.001). Conclusion: In the experimental conditions, age was the only factor that was related to the presence of EFL during exercise.

The aim of this study was to identify and understand the educational processes originated from the construction-reconstruction of an intercultural dialogical musical practice together with a participating community (students, parents, educators) from an extension project, in the city of Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais, the Project Writing the Future (Re) cutting papera, creating pannels. This project, which involves three educational institutions: the University, Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais, Unidade Ituiutaba, the Music School, Conservatório Estadual de Música Dr. José Zóccoli de Andrade , and the Basic Educational School, Escola Estadual Governador Bias Fortes, is understood as a social practice, given that everybody participates freely, being able to access or leave when they wish to do so. Based on the dialogue and marked by a strong sense of collaboration, companionship is a basic requirement for such practice. The processo of construction-reconstruction of the research had as reference the pedagogical principles of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire and was composed of two moments: data collection (intervention procedures: questionnaires, interviews, meetings) and development (gatherings, partitura, travelling, performance) of the Generating Music, seen as the step by step of this process, based on the daily lives of the people involved their musical tastes, knowledge and skills. The theoretical reference was basically sustained mainly by the concepts of culture and interculturality. Inspire by phenomenology and of a qualitative nature, the principal tool for data collection was the field journals, with a later analysis, also interviews, photographs, film footages, drawings and texts written by the collaborating participants, term used in this research to refer to the students. The analysis of the data collected during the intervention and registered in the field journals enabled the construction of the following categories: A) Strengthening of the Identity: Oh my, he is strong, he is Zumbi, black warrior just like us! ; B) Respect towards others: I was feeling rather comfortable to play some music! ; C) Desire to become more: When this project started it changed my whole life! [...]. Now I can only do music! . Thus, we consider that practices in Musical Education demand, from those involved in it, commitment and responsability, permanent search of knowledge and skills, respect and acknowledgement of others. However, the process of teachers development, the stimulus of motivation with musical and personal development quality, the c reative and cooperative interaction in the familiarity of the different cultures, the guarantee of a musical education and teaching commited to the development of citizenship and the rights exercise, yet, present themselves as challenges to be face at present.

The public high school education in Brazil is a victim of the constant reformism that has been hindering the strengthening of the own identity of this education period. The more frequent and abundant use of the High School Education National Exam as the gateway to undergraduate studies in the country has had repercussion to the educational institutions, students and teachers, who live the consequences of the popularization of this exam on their professional activities. The goal of this thesis is to understand the perspective of high school teachers of a specific school in Sao Paulo about the repercussions of the High School Education National Exam (ENEM - Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) on their professional teaching practices. Our research developed with a qualitative approach, used bibliographical research on the high school and the High School Education National Exam, characterization instrument and interviews with five teachers and one teacher coordinator of a Sumare (city in the State of São Paulo) state school, in addition to the elaboration of the researcher's field journal. Our focus was on the reconstruction of the evaluation approach by the teachers, since we work on the theoretical assumption that every educational policy is reconstructed and remeant by the subjects that receive it. The basic concepts of the area of teacher formation that guided our study were: constants of the teaching work, teaching identity and teacher development. Aside from those, we also searched for knowledge about evaluation and some policies towards the high school education in Brazil. Based on the research, we could consider that the isolated work of a teacher, the opportunities of specific teaching activities, the non-reflected consumption of the political proposal are some of the conditions based on in which the teacher acquires their professional identity in this context. However, when searching for alternatives of teaching practices, when searching for answers to challenges in a collective manner, when feeling accomplished by their role as an experience creator to the students that find in the High School Education National Exam (ENEM - Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) their source of hope to achieve the undergraduate studies, the teacher learns and develops themselves professionally, finding strategies to remain in the teaching activities. Our research indicates that the implementation of an educational policy that does not consider the formation process of the teachers, their objective work conditions and their perspective of this policy weakens their potential to induce changes on the curriculum, teaching practices and in the learning evaluation.

La Madrid galdosiana es un lugar que potencializa una experiencia estética, donde las relaciones que en ella se construyen nos llaman a mirar su estructura, configuración y materialidad, estableciendo así, relaciones políticas, sociales, artísticas y sus interferencias en el tiempo histórico. Pérez Galdós funde su visión de Madrid del siglo XIX a las técnicas formales a las que recurre para expresar adecuadamente esa visión. El tema, la estructura, el enredo, los personajes, los espacios se convierten en agentes empleados por Pérez Galdós para vitalizar su propia percepción de la ciudad. Pérez Galdós puede ser considerado el primer autor español de novela de la gran ciudad que aborda Madrid como fuente y objeto del texto literario. El presente estudio tiene por finalidad analizar la representación de la ciudad de Madrid en Fortunata y Jacinta (1887), abordando, principalmente, las relaciones entre espacio y personajes. Como Pérez Galdós sistematiza la relación espacio-tiempo dentro de una dimensión histórica y social de la novela. Además, analizamos la presencia de frontera y sus implicaciones en la espacialidade de la novela. Es la literatura y en especial, la novela haciendo una interconexión entre arte y sociedad, estética y vida. Así, este trabajo pretende analizar el espacio representado en el texto literario debido al hecho de vincularse con las identidades sociales específicas, cuyos valores se confunden con el propio espacio, valor cuya resonancia simbólica juzgamos relevante dentro y fuera del universo literario.

Since the last decades, the studies around childhood conceptions and children's way of living have grown progressively, although it‟s production is still scarce. Researches and scholars from childhood seek to understand the way of being a child through their daily life and specific contexts from cultures and society from which they belong, placing the child as a protagonist of it's own story and seeking the deconstruction from the term "infância" (childhood), which ends up in an image of a normative or outside the rule child. On the other hand the African child is placed as "out of place" for not following the pattern and rules of the European and north-american child: go to school from home (when they go to school), from there to another activity or responsibility: take care of siblings, help with the work at home, or with the income, among other activities. Through the presented picture in a previous experiment in a peripheral community near Mozambique, some initial questions were raised and subsequently formulated; bringing the issue about what is it like to be a child in a Mozambican society. The outlined objective was to know and understand the ways and dynamics of child socialization in this territory. It was understood that it was necessary a research in which the reality was present and the option was for the ethnography, the field research was made in a neighborhood in the Matola city, during a 5 months period. 5 children were chosen to participate in the research, which the acquaintanceship period was approximately 20 days, participating in their routines and domestic, community and school activities. By being inside their homes and their space of belonging , one can observe that the child in this environment belongs to the family and to the community, creating bonds and emotional development between people in different generation and their daily life, and responsibility that end up in their formation. Children have tasks and responsibilities that are assigned to them guided in the social division of work. Between activities one could observe that to play and the playful are always there, at home, at the street or at school. The playful and the laugh permeates the imagination and the childhood world, producing ways of existing, being and acting in the world that they share and belong. The school, the other place of belonging of a child and daily living, was a week attended place with lots of discussion, those situations and shared moments are brought in narratives, realizing that the writing way enable the reconstruction and description of the living moments and its reflections. It's understandable that there is a need of study in which one can deconstruct the ways that the childhood is imposed and enable ruptures in its universalization, understanding that there isn't only one childhood, from one specific context, based on the time-space in which they keep searching the right of a child of coming and going and of being protagonists in the world that they share and belong. This study also aims to contribute to the researches about childhood and African society.

This masters dissertation was developed with the aim of analyze how the learning of teaching for Distance Education occurs, through the continuous formation and the teaching performance on Distance Education and the implications that this knowledges bring to the presential teaching practices. As Distance Education is growing and being implemented in a lot of Brazilian s universities, we would like to know how the teaching formation to this modality is being learned and how this learning is being used on Presential Education. Understand this dynamic is relevant to the distant and presential teaching formation, however, is still a poorly researched subject, reason why this research was conducted. To make the realization of this study and establish the theoretical referentials, it was needed to characterize the Distance Education model, adopted by Higher Education Institutions chosen for carrying out this research, as well characterize the virtual teaching and the presential teaching. Furthermore, we treat of the teaching competence for the use of technologies and, lastly, we seek to identify the main presential teaching practices that were changed according to the Distance Education experience. Thus, the methodology used was the quantitative and qualitative approach, developed through the sending of an e-mail to the Distance Education coordinators of 11 universities, that is, 10% of the universe of the Universities that belong to UAB system, containing a request that the coordinators resend the survey questionnaire to their teachers so we could collect the datas. In total, returned 233 questionnaires for analysis and data interpretation. Of these, we selected four Institutions that participated the most, being three federals and one statewide. All of this collected material a rich source to clarify how are learned the knowledge on virtual teaching and how this knowledge implies on presential teaching. As main results of our research, can be mentioned: the use of a large number of technological tools in the presential classes; the accomplishment of more teamwork, less expository classes and the use of more dynamic methodologies and interactives, increase of the communication canals and diversification of the evaluations forms.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a non-inflammatory chronic pain syndrome characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain. Advances have been made in underlying its etiology and pathophysiology and some evidence has suggested that autonomic dysfunction plays an important role in FMS. Thus, the present thesis consisted of three studies in order to elucidate unknown aspects regarding the autonomic cardiovascular control in women with FMS. The Study I, entitled "Respiratory sinus arrhythmia and its association with pain in women with fibromyalgia syndrome", aimed to evaluate the autonomic modulation of heart rate (HR) at rest and during the deep breathing test, as well as to evaluate possible associations between cardiac autonomic indices and the pain in women with FMS. The results suggest that women with FMS present compromised neurocardiac integrity, which is associated with the pain and the impact on quality of life. The Study II, entitled "Cardiovascular Control in women with fibromyalgia syndrome: the causal methods provide complementary information to traditional methods?", aimed to assess whether the baroreflex sensitivity assessed by the model-based causal closedloop approach based on spontaneous RR and systolic arterial pressure variabilities during supine and active standing in patients with FMS could provide complementary information to those obtained by traditional indices based on time and frequency domains. The model-based causal closed-loop method provided complementary information on the cardiovascular autonomic control, revealing reduced baroreflex sensitivity, a reduced strength of the baroreflex control as well as a blunted response to the orthostatic stimulus in FMS patients. The Study III, entitled "Effects of a hydrotherapy program on symbolic dynamics and complexity of heart rate variability and aerobic capacity in women with fibromyalgia syndrome", aimed to evaluate the effects of a hydrotherapy program on aerobic capacity and linear and non-linear dynamics of heart rate variability in women with FMS. A 16-week hydrotherapy program proved to be effective in improving symptoms, aerobic functional capacity and cardiac autonomic control in women with FMS. The improvement in non-linear dynamics of HR variability was associated with the improvement of pain and the impact of FMS on the quality of life.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in the expression genes related to bone defect repair in tibia in rats. For this, one hundred male Wistar rats (3 months ± 250 g) were submitted to bilateral tibial defects and randomly distributed in two experimental groups (n=50). In the first study the effects of the LLLT in the expression of inflammatory and angiogenic genes in bone repair of rats were investigated in three groups: bone defect group (CG) and bone defect treated with laser 830nm (GL). Laser irradiation started immediately after the surgery and it was performed for two (36 h), three (3 days) or seven (7 days) sessions, with an interval of 24 hours between sessions. The application was punctual transcutaneously above the site of the injury. Rats were euthanized individually by carbon dioxide asphyxia in different set points (36 hours, 3 days and 7 days after surgery). Histopathological analysis showed that LLLT was able to modulate the inflammatory process in the area of the bone defect and to produce an earlier deposition of granulation tissue and newly formed bone. Microarray analysis demonstrated that LLLT produced an up-regulation of genes related to the inflammatory processes (MMD, PTGIR, PTGS2, Ptger2, IL1, 1IL6, IL8, IL18) and angiogenic genes (FGF14, FGF2, ANGPT2, ANGPT4 and PDGFD) at 36 h and 3 days, followed by a decrease of the gene expression on day 7. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that treated animals presented a higher expression of COX-2 at 36 h after the surgery and an increased VEGF expression on days 3 and 7. Our findings indicate that LLLT was efficient on accelerating the development of newly formed bone probably by modulating the inflammatory and angiogenic gene expression and COX2 and VEGF immunoexpression during the initial phase of bone healing. In the second study, aspects related to bone cell stimulation and newly formed bone were evaluated in five groups: CG and LG. The laser treatment started immediately after the surgery to produce the bone defects and there have been 1, 2, 3, 5 e 7 sessions with an interval of 24 hours. Rats were euthanized in different set points (12 hours, 36 hours, 3 days, 5 days and 7 days after surgery). Histopathology revealed that treated animals produced increased amount of newly formed bone at the site of the injury. Also, microarray analysis evidenced that LLLT produced a significantly increase in the expression TGF-β, BMP, FGF, RUNX-2 and BMP, which could have stimulated osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, which may be related to improving the deposition of newly formed bone at the site of the injury. Thus, it is possible to concluded that LLLT improved bone healing by producing a significant increase in the expression of osteogenic genes. Finally, we concluded that LLLT was effective to stimulate newly formed bone by active expression of inflammatory, angiogenic and osteogenic genes and also stimulate immunoexpression of proteins related to the initial phases of bone healing in tibial defects in rats.

Among the disorders resulting from cerebrovascular accident (CVA), the sensorimotor are the most prevalent and the most disabling, especially muscle weakness. Complex and unknown etiology, this weakness has been related to muscle disorders, such as atrophy. The common carotid artery occlusion model (ACC) in gerbils has been described as effective in inducing neuronal damage in the hippocampus and motor areas. However, no information is available about which muscle adaptation due to this model. To assess the effectiveness of an ischemic stroke induction model by unilateral CCA occlusion followed by reperfusion of the muscle changes over 7, 15 and 21 days in gerbils. To this end, the quantification of the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers and quantification of protein content Fbxo40, a modulator of muscle hypertrophy in paretic muscles (P) and not paretic (NP) were related to data obtained in open field test and Rota Rod. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy adult male gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), 2-3 months, underwent unilateral occlusion of the common carotid artery for 10 minutes, with suture, followed by reperfusion. The exploratory and motor behaviors were evaluated by open field tests and Rota Rod, respectively, the day before the injury and 6, 13 and 20 days after surgery. A sham group for the surgical procedure was performed. The animals were killed on the 7th, 14th or 21st day. Morphometric analysis (cross-sectional area of muscle fibers) of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles were performed. The quantification of the protein content of the Fbxo40 atrophy enzyme was analyzed by Western blot and histological sections of the regions of the hippocampus, motor cortex and striatum were performed. Statistical data were subjected to homogeneity and normality tests. If detected that the data were parametric, the one-way ANOVA test was used. If there is a difference, the Tukey test was used to locate them. Nonparametric, the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney test was performed. A 5% significance level was considered. RESULTS: There was no difference in the number of crossings evaluated by field tests, as well as the residence time in the apparatus Rota Rod in the comparison between the experimental groups (p> 0.05). Protein expression of Fbxo40, muscle weight and cross-sectional area of muscle fibers of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles of both legs pelvic did not differ between the experimental groups (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: The induction stroke model in gerbils with 10 minutes of occlusion of the common carotid artery with reperfusion, was unable to produce functional or behavioral changes in gerbils muscle.

This paper analysis the community development banks concept, understood as social technologies of solidarity finances, brought up to discussion under solidarity economy and Science, Technology and Society (STS) aspects. Whilst they involve intrinsic social benefits, community banks currently experience similar challenges. Within this context, the objective of this study is built upon the following research question: In what aspects do partnerships between the local community and supporting bodies contribute to strengthening activities of community banks for development, and, consequently, their sustainability? , it pursued identify the most meaningful partnerships for solving the experimented difficulties by the Banco Comunitário Nascente in São Carlos SP. To develop this paper, it had been made several workshops with the Banco Comunitário Nascente employees beyond a wide bibliographic revision and documentation analysis. Through the information achieved by the bibliographic research it was possible to comprehend the historic contest and identify events and actors (local and external) fundamental for solidarity economy existence and, there for, from the Banco Comunitário Nascente in the city. From the results obtained in the workshops it was possible to evince the principal problems to be faced, such as analyse the impacts of the local and external actors in front of these problems. These informations sum made possible a appropriate methodology construction to identify the strategical partnerships to be fomented/developed by the workers, to grant the resolution of the problems experienced during their activities at the community bank. From this analysis logic, the following master's dissertation provides aids (methodological and technical) to solve the difficulties experimented by the Community Development Banks under the potentialities of the partnerships relationships bias.

The peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a simple and objective method that evaluates primarily the proximal airways caliber. The ease of handling and low cost of portable PEF meters have become its frequent use, however few studies have analyzed the agreement of the obtained values in different equipment, as well as compared its reference values, which justifies the Study I, which had as its objective to compare the obtained values, analyze the agreement of three portable PEF meters and check if the reference values that accompany these devices are appropriate for the population studied. 168 healthy individuals were evaluated, of both genders, in the age group of 20 to 80 years, who underwent PEF measurements in Mini-Wright®, Assess® and Air Zone® meters; then, the obtained values were compared to predict proposed by Leiner et al. (1963) and Nunn and Gregg (1989). The statistical analysis was performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, ANOVA, Wilcoxon test, Spearman's correlation test and Bland-Altman s agreement test, with a significance level of 5%. Significant differences were found in the PEF obtained values between Mini-Wright® and Assess® meters in both genders, between the Air Zone® and Assess® meters only in men, and between Mini-Wright® and Air Zone® meters only in women; and the PEF predict values in the three devices were considered significantly higher than those obtained in both genders. Moderate significant correlations were found between the obtained and predict values in men and women, but there was no agreement between the PEF obtained values in the meters, due to the great variation in the limits of agreement and large interindividual variation. It was concluded that the obtained values in the three meters are not interchangeable and the predicted values overestimated the obtained, indicating its inconsistency for the sample studied, that stimulated the realization of Study II, which aimed to establish PEF reference values for adults and elderly from Southeast region of Brazil based on the obtained values of three portable meters: Mini-Wright®, Assess® and Air Zone®. 373 healthy individuals were evaluated, of both genders, aged 20 to 80 years, who underwent PEF measurements in Mini-Wright®, Assess® and Air Zone® meters. The statistical analysis was performed by multiple linear regression analysis by stepwise selection method to determine the explicative variables and were tested three different models: using variable unit, logarithmic and adjust by age; and then the paired t-test was applied to compare the obtained values with predict by new model and to check the validation of the proposed model, with a significance level of 5%. Of the models tested, adjust by age showed the best agreement and the equations varied according to the meter and the coefficients age, corporal mass, height and body mass index (BMI) explained more than 90% variation in PEF. In the comparison of obtained values with those proposed by new model, no significant difference was found, confirming the validation of equations proposed in the meters. Therefore, equations of PEF were established for adults and elderly from Southeast region of Brazil, separated by gender and for each meter evaluated: Mini-Wright®, Assess® and Air Zone® considering the inadequacy of the common use of an equation for the three meters used. These equations enable the correct interpretation of PEF values in clinical practice.

This work aims to analyze the family-school relationship by means of scientific articles, in order to understand how it has been characterized in Brazilian journals from 2000 to 2013 and seeking to contribute to the studies concerning this topic. For this we considered relevant to conduct this analysis starting with the political, economic and cultural context of our present society, that is, trying to understand the relations between State, Family and School within the capitalist system and in face of globalization. We conducted a bibliographic search that involved an ordered set of procedures, given the object of research and its main objective, and which consisted of three steps: surveying library materials and selecting the 46 articles analyzed in this research; analyzing the selected studies, inspired by "content analysis" as an analytical technique, in order to identify information, data and relations between the selected articles; and performing an integrating synthesis of solutions, in which we presented the final product of the investigation process, which resulted from the analysis and reflection on the documents. The analysis revealed six categories, representing the major highlights of the articles selected for this research. The first is the category of types of family-school relationship, in which two predominant types were appointed. One is an unidirectional relationship, and the other is marked by partnership.The articles showed that the school institution is the main responsible for family-school approximation, represented mainly by the teachers. As for the difficulties faced in family-school relationship, the analysis showed, among other factors, that the asymmetry in the family-school relationship reflects the school difficulty in understanding what is the true reality experienced by their students, as well as their families, and vice versa. As ways of relationship between the family and the school, the analysis showed that these have been done through agenda books, notes, parents meetings and meetings at the beginning and end of classes, homework, participation in scheduled events due to commemorative dates, financial contributions, support and maintenance for the proper development of the school. As for the social role of family and school, the articles highlighted that both institutions have different social functions in relation to the good school performance of the student, and share the task of educating children and young people for their successful development and participation in society. The last category resulting from the analysis discussed the school and family practicespointed by the articles.

The integration between language and culture has acquired greater importance in the teaching and learning foreign languages context as well as in Applied Linguistics studies. Considering the lexicon as cultural depository of language (BIDERMAN, 2001), studying it becomes essential to understand and discuss the cultural aspects of a given society. In this paper we intend to analyze Brazilian lyrics that have the cultural marked lexicon in order to contribute to the discussion in the teaching-learning languages area. In addition, we present the proposal of some entries on a web site in hypertext format. We opted for the lyrics because they are an important cultural vehicle in Brazil (BARBOSA, 2008) and they allow access to both language and cultural content in foreign language classes. The virtual environment and hypertext were selected because they allow access from any location with an internet connection and propitiate dynamic reading method through navigation. We analyzed 27 Brazilian songs that cover a period of 42 years from 1972 to 2014. The focus in song analysis was the lexicon with shared cultural load, according to Galisson s conception (1987; 1989).

This study aims at analyzing the links between philosophy and art in the development of an emancipatory education. This theme is justified by the need to promote in society an education that, in fact, leads to emancipation, and not the reification of technical knowledge. If, in Dialectic of Enlightenment, Adorno and Horkheimer denounce the technical rationality and demonstrate how such a paradigm leads to barbarism, which rationality can lead to emancipation? Seeking answers to such problem, three studies were carried out. The first deals with the erudition and technical rationality in the context of cultural industry. The second investigates the Negative Dialectics and the effort to overcome the reductionism of identity through concepts constructed in a dissonant and constellatory way. Finally, the third turns to the Aesthetics Theory and investigates the negative and liberating potential of art that consolidates an aesthetic rationality. The three studies originate from a bibliographic research that resulted in a text that sought to approach the essay form, coherently with Adorno s negative epistemological proposal. The three parts articulate categories towards proposing an emancipatory rationality through art, which we will call aesthetic rationality; alternative way to overcome the latent barbarism in technical rationality.
