The work has as study object the Candomble temples Protection process and its museums organization in Salvador city (Bahia-Brazil) and its surroundings. The aim of this study was to understand what issues emerge from the making safeguard policy by IPHAN and the process of "becoming cultural heritage". At first data was collected during field research, from documents produced during the cultural heritage Protection process, especially those of proceedings 1067-T-82 (which reffers to the emblematic Casa Branca temple case) and 1498-T-02 (the Ile Axe Oxumarê tipping) as well from minutes of IPHAN meeting. In a second moment, this work focused on the growing process of museums organization in african-religious spaces. The investigation considered both general context and the specific cases of São Jorge Filho da Goméia afro-brazilian temple and Mokambo afro-brazilian temple.

Childhood cancer was encompassed as a priority in the public health agenda in Brazil. One of the procedures commonly used is the Bone Marrow Transplantation. The procedures are of high complexity and represent a series of restrictions to patients. A child illness and hospitalization can foster changes in daily life activities, play, leisure, school activities and social participation that will interfere with his/her development and occupational activities. Occupational Therapy procedures seek to provide a more accessible experience in hospital concerning the possibilities of involvement, favoring his/her development through activities. The objective of this study was to describe actions in the occupational therapy responsible for promoting the participation and autonomy in school age children who have undergone bone marrow transplantation, from the perception of occupational therapists. The research was conducted with the report of six practitioners addressing their experience and observations with children who have undergone the transplant. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. A short form of personal and professional identification and characterization and a semi-structured interview script were used as data collection instruments. Aiming adequacy of the interview script, it was submitted to a pilot study in order to perform any needed adjustments. After the data collection, the interview was transcribed verbatim and analyzed under the Content Analysis overview. Through the content obtained in the interviews it was possible to draw themes that were gathered giving rise to four categories: (1) contexts and occupational roles affected by illness, hospitalization; (2) Occupational Therapy processes; (3) benefits to children by occupational therapy activities and the actions developed by occupational therapists; (4) successful practices; essential factors and theoretical principles. The results showed that even though there are variations, the occupational therapist s main practice purpose is to minimize the effects children may experience by the illness and hospitalization. The reapproach to autonomy and the stimulation for the children to get involved in activities were obtained by different therapeutic processes and is related to the formation of the therapist, the child's age and level of development and the use of specific techniques anchored in theoretical bases related to his/her education. This is due to the fact that there are therapists who focus on the organic nature of changes related to the child s needs, while others focus on his/her psychosocial changes. Most therapists use a dynamic approach. The promotion of participation and autonomy reported by the professionals were developed in a therapeutic process, in which the cited activities illustrate the use of that instrument. Current strategies of communication (mail, internet and telephone) have been used to favor the child's communication with his/her environment during the hospitalization process. There are therapists who work in a systemic perspective, in which the various systems that the child takes part are considered for intervention in Occupational Therapy and thus the family, the school, the hospital and the actions that involve nonimmediate contexts, gain importance in the child's different occupational roles. Non-normative life events, such as parents divorce along with hospitalization and transplantation magnify the child's fragile condition. There are other situations, however, where the provision of resources by the hospital positively enhanced the child's quality of life. It is expected that the description of the practices in Occupational Therapy reported here, particularly those responsible for stimulating participation and autonomy in activities for children in school age who have experienced the process of bone marrow transplantation and also the identification of daily life contexts that benefit from this promotion, may contribute to knowledge development in Occupational Therapy in the Brazilian environment.

The objective of this work is the development of a rotary type dryer for drying leaves. This dryer was built with the purpose of ensuring a proper mixing of the leaves during drying, to obtain a final product with homogeneous moisture and good quality. The dryer consists of a cylinder built with perforated metal screen, coupled to a motor which allows its rotation around the cylinder axis. Air supplied by a blower is heated and fed through the cylinder side walls, perpendicularly to its axis. For drying of eucalyptus leaves, it was evaluated the reproducibility of the data and the homogeneity of the rotary drying basket in comparison to fixed-bed drying configurations using different forms of contact between the air and the material, and also to the conventional rotary drum dryer. To evaluate the quality of the final product, it was analyzed the influence of drying in color of leaves, extracted oil content and the concentration of citronellal in the oil. The kinetic data showed good reproducibility between the repetitions in the range of conditions investigated. It was observed that the set of leaves increased in volume during drying in the rotating basket, and the whole volume of dried leaves was 3-fold the fresh leaves volume. The tests indicated that the rotating basket provided uniform drying of the leaves as compared to drying in fixed beds and conventional rotary drum dryer, with small variation of moisture and average final moisture of 7.3 ± 0.3 % in drying of 50 g of leaves. For a good performance in drying eucalyptus, the volume of fresh leaves should not exceed 10% of the basket volume. The drying in the rotating basket have not provoked browning of the leaves and did not influence the essential oil content.

This dissertation aims to undertake an analysis, based on ethnography between fandangueiros of the southern coast of the state of São Paulo, in the municipality of Cananéia, who seeks to follow the flow as it interweaves Fandango caiçara in the networks established by the agents who engage in the Caiçara culture, in an objectified way, that is, engage with caiçara culture as a political objective and as an "object", at the same time. Thus, from the ethnography, the analysis undertaken here will seek, instead to "explain" the caiçara fandango in reference to a cultural background, show as its fandango transform and act on culture (transforming itself reciprocally), in a objectified way or not. It will therefore be essential for the work done an analysis of pessimism that we call structural with which fandangueiros face their own transformations engendered in their culture, claiming (almost) always that the fandango "it will be over". Will also be under scrutiny the public actions and private agents seeking "revitalize" and "rescue" Fandango, as the increasing heritage policies in recent decades in Brazil, the process by which the fandango was transformed into Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil, in 2011.

Nowadays, the Brazilian petroleum is extracted from very deep fields and possesses a high naphthenic hydrocarbons composition, which imposes new challenges to refineries and specially to the catalytic cracking process. In that process, the catalyst must act maximizing the production of the highly demanded gasoline, diesel and light olefins from heavy fractions. Taking into consideration the above discussed context, this work aimed to evaluate the effect of basic or acid treatments applied on ZSM-5 zeolites (Si/Al=12 or 23) in the activity to cyclohexane or methylcyclohexane transformation. XRD and 27Al-NMR showed that the dealuminated zeolites presented an increase in their crystallinity due to the extra-framework aluminum lixiviation. On the other hand, in the desilicated zeolites occurred a decrease in their crystallinity as a consequence of the extra-framework aluminum generation. MEV images do not evidence any morphological change that could have been produced by the acid or basic treatments, however, the desilicated ZSM-5 zeolites treated under harder conditions presented significant textural modifications. As expected, the chemical ICP analyses showed a decrease in the Si/Al ratio in the desilicated zeolites and an increase of that ratio for those dealuminated ones, being the last variation more significative in the external surface of the zeolite crystals, as was evidenced by XPS analyses. Data from NH3-TPD showed that the acid treatment resulted in a higher ratio of strong acid sites, which suffered more deactivation during reaction. N2 fisisorption analyses of the ZSM-5 zeolites, showed that the desilication done at higher temperature was more efficient to mesopore generation. In the cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane transformation, the dealuminated zeolites were less active due to their lower aluminum content, nevertheless were more stable and presented a small increase to light olefins selectivity. The desilicated ZSM-5 zeolites presented higher activity and higher yield to light olefins that were supported by their lower Si/Al ratio and mainly by the presence of mesoporosity that enhanced the reagents and products internal diffusivity.

Food with high sugar concentration exhibits relation with impulsive eating behavior and obesity. This research investigated the effect of different rates of reinforcement and compositions of food, traditional or light, on the choice responses pattern of four undergraduate students. Those foods have similar organoleptic characteristics and different sugar concentration. One study, whith three phases was did, in all of them, two stimuli representing the initial links of a chain-concurrent schedule were presented, simultaneously, to the participants in a computer screen. Choice response in the initial links was followed by the second link of the chain-concurrent schedule. In Phase 1, response in FR1 on the second link was followed by the delivering, in both alternatives, of juice samples with the same composition, flavor and magnitude, an inter-trial interval and another trial. In Phase 2, response in FR1 on the second link was followed by the delivering of samples of traditional juice composition on one terminal link of the chain-concurrent schedule or light juice composition on another terminal link of the chain-concurrent schedule, an inter-trial interval and another trial. In Phase 3, was added primarily contextual stimuli consistent with the structural arrangement indicating which composition would have the juice samples available for each alternative and later this contextual stimuli became inconsistent with the structural arrangement. The sessions presented varied in time. The maximum duration was 10 minutes and occurred, on average, three times a week. The results showed that human subjects have difficult to exhibit maximization in chain-concurrent schedule, have good sensitivity to the different reinforcement rates in chain-concurrent schedule and concentrations of sugar in samples of traditional and light juices composition.

Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity conservation, and many studies have been conducted to give an answer to why some ecosystems are more invaded than others. Canopy openness and the litter thickness may be two of the factors to drive the seed germination and establishment of seedling of tree species. Hovenia dulcis is a tree widely distributed in southern Brazil, with intense natural regeneration. It has been reported to be dominant in many natural forests in the southern area of Brazil, where it is considered one of the main exotic species with occurrence in natural forest in this region. This research has the aim to assess whether the colonization time of the species on the remnants is relevant for the invasion process, and if the thickness of the litter and the openness of the canopy are important to forecast the abundance of the H. dulcis. We experimentally addressed which factors are related to the propagule pressure; if the propagule pressure is related to the seedling abundance, if the litter and the canopy openness are associated with the variation on the seedling recruitment; and whether survival and seedling recruitment vary between the treatments under and distant from the mother plant crown. To evaluate the importance of the residence time and the place variables upon the abundance variation of H. dulcis we assessed 25 subpopulations in ten forest remnants, totaling 250 subpopulations. For the trial study in eight remnants, four subpopulations (mother plants) were chosen in each of the eight, totaling 32 subpopulations. In each subpopulation, we delimitated a 1m² plot at the final plot of the mother plant crown, and another at the same direction at a distant twice the crown radius. In each remnant from two subpopulations it has been removed all litter from the plot and the others have just been marked. This experiment was followed for an eight-month period. It has been checked that the H. dulcis colonization time on the forest remnants was not important to forecast the abundance of seedlings and juveniles. Spatial variations on litter thickness and canopy openness explained most part of the H. dulcis abundance variation. This research has rejected the hypothesis that the propagule pressure is related to the H. dulcis seedlings abundance. It also showed that the canopy openness is not related with the abundance of the species. The germination has shown total independence from the extraction of the litter. Nonetheless, it has showed that the mother plant crown exert influence upon the survival of the seedlings, on treatments with or without litter. It has checked that the removal of litter increase significantly the recruitment of seedlings on environments without the influence of adults individuals of H. dulcis, thus showing that the disorders from different origins are fundamental for the initial colonization of the species. There are evidences that the presence of adults individuals of the species favor the establishment of its seedlings, regardless the presence of litter.

This research aims to discuss the organizational conflict among the departments of Production, Quality and Engineering within the consumer goods manufacturing industry of information technology in the region of Campinas/SP. Describes situations where the conflict was observed in one of the companies in the region. From this description and theoretical research on the subject, a questionnaire is prepared which is subjected to 78 professional staff of those departments who have worked in this company and in at least one other company in this sector in the region of Campinas. These professionals were categorized from two vectors: the Department in which they work (Production, Quality or Engineering), and if they were part of the technical body (composed of Engineers, Technicians, Analysts and Technical Managers), or Staff operating body (composed of Supervisors and Operation Managers). Theoretical analysis on the topic is made taking as central axis the Sociological Theory of Conflict of Georg Simmel, for whom the conflict is positive and element constructor of social relations. The questions to be answered are related to the identification of the structural conditions of conflict, understanding if the same is seen as positive or negative by the surveyed ones, if the conflict promotes the change in the structure of the Organization, and if is contained in the observed Organization or whether it is something common to other companies in the region. The answers of the surveyed ones point out that the Department in which they work, the type of position or function, the performance appraisal system and the dynamics of information technology industry operate as structural elements of the conflict. Moreover, the organizational conflict evaluated do not presents itself as positive by tensing the structure instead of overcoming it, and do not enable the maintenance or improvement of the Organization in its positioning in the consumer market share. It is still seen by respondents as common to companies in the region. The survey responses also point to the failure of sociological theory of Simmel in analyzing the conflict in environments where it is uneventful, because it is unable to produce transformation in the social structure of the Organization, and because there are generalizations in his normative theory about the conflict that have not been verified in practice.

Este trabalho visa a otimização não-linear restrita usando o Método das Tolerâncias Flexíveis (FTM) e na aplicação do mesmo na síntese de sistemas de integração mássica. A integração mássica é uma técnica que permite a compreensão global do fluxo de massa dentro do processo, e emprega tais conhecimentos na identificação de melhorias de desempenho e otimização da geração e mapeamento de espécies ao longo do processo. A integração de massa baseia-se nos princípios fundamentais da engenharia química combinada com a análise do sistema usando ferramentas gráficas e de otimização. Neste contexto, o método direto de otimização foi usado como base para melhorias a fim de tornar possível sua aplicação em problemas de síntese de processo, especialmente a integração de massa. O Método das Tolerância Flexíveis é um método direto de otimização que apresenta algumas vantagens como simplicidade e a capacidade de lidar com igualdade e desigualdade sem empregar o cálculo de derivadas. O método utiliza duas buscas para satisfazer a restrição de viabilidade. A busca externa é uma variação do método de Nelder-Mead (ou o método Poliedro Flexível ou FPM) que minimiza a função objetivo. A busca interna minimiza o valor da função formada pelas restrições de igualdade e/ou desigualdade do problema. Esta busca interna pode ser realizada por qualquer método de otimização não linear irrestrita. Neste trabalho, o método das tolerâncias flexíveis foi hibridizado com diferentes métodos irrestritos para realizar a busca interna: BFGS (Método de Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb and Shanno) e Powell modificado. O método estocástico do Enxame de Partículas (PSO) também foi empregado para efetuar a inicialização e geração do ponto de partida viável para sequencial aplicação do método deiii terminístico (FTM e modificações). Outras modificações testadas foram o escalonamento de variáveis, a utilização de parâmetros adaptativos Nelder-Mead e a adição de uma barreira. Os algoritmos propostos neste trabalho foram aplicados a um conjunto de problemas nãolineares restritos que compreende problemas de otimização reais. Os códigos que apresentaram melhor desempenho foram o Método Modificado das Tolerâncias Flexíveis com variáveis escalonadas (MFTMS) e o híbrido FTMS-PSO (o Método das Tolerância Flexíveis com escalonamento de variáveis e hibridizado com PSO). Estes melhores códigos foram aplicados com sucesso na solução de problemas de integração em massa. Os resultados encontrados neste trabalho demonstram a capacidade de métodos simples e diretos em lidar com problemas de otimização complexos, como os problemas de integração mássica. Além disso, um problema inédito de integração mássica proposto neste trabalho, a integração mássica de uma biorefinaria de cana-de-açúcar incluindo 1G, 2G e 3G, foi resolvido com êxito com os métodos propostos neste trabalho (MFTMS e FTMS-PSO). A primeira geração (1G) inclui a produção de etanol utilizando o caldo da cana-de-açúcar e produção de vapor e eletricidade pela cogeração. A segunda geração (2G) utiliza a biomassa lignocelulósica para produção de etanol pela rota bioquímica. A terceira geração (3G) inclui a utilização de algas para produção de biocombustíveis (etanol e biodiesel). Os resultados deste estudo de caso fornecem uma indicação de uma forma economicamente viável de conseguir avanços substanciais em termos de consumo de água e redução da poluição.

To compete globally, companies need to build and accumulate technological capabilities for operation activities and innovation activities. Despite the development of technological capability to innovate primarily take place within companies, other organizations in the innovation system may contribute to this process. In this sense, this study aimed to characterize the industrial innovation activities on a Local Innovation System (LIS) and analyze its fragmentation. The local innovation system of Sorocaba / SP was defined as an object of study. An integrated unique case study was conducted, the sample was composed of 43 companies from various sectors. It has been described the level of knowledge of the companies in relation to innovation legislation, the intention of investments in related technologies to market, management and production, the structure of Research and Development (R&D) and innovation management, relevant factors to the practice of innovation , partnerships for innovation, as well as the demand for technological services in Basic Industrial Technology. In addition, Data collected included the supply of technological services from 19 institutions of science, technology and innovation leading to a comparative analysis in relation to the services demanded by the local industry. Among the results, it was found: a) lack of knowledge about the innovation law; b) the intention of investments in technologies focuses on the areas of production and management c) about half of the companies has innovation management department or R & D department structured; d) interaction with STI public and private institutions has little relevance to the practice of innovation; e) the formation of partnerships to innovate occurs mainly with customers and suppliers; f) the interaction among industries and other institutions from the LIS suggests that the observed level of local interaction is reduced, so that the LIS appears as fragmented.

A novel slit-die flow cell is presented for the evaluation of extrusion thermo-mechanical history on the flow character of polymers. The rheo-optical concept is claimed once both flow-birefringence and rheological character of polystyrene are probed during the process. To accomplish this task, three pressure gauges are flush-mounted along the channel of the slit-die to determine the pressure drop of the flowing polymer. Moreover, borosilicate optical windows are adjusted into two different sites in-between the pressure transducers. Thus, one could assess the rheo-optical responses at two different entrance lengths. When studying polystyrene melt, the flow birefringence measurements showed different molecular orientation levels along the channel axial direction, being slightly lower in the second section next to the slit die outlet. The viscosity values measured in-process were lower at the second section of the slit-die. In addition, they were well below that calculated from rotational rheometry. By following the time-temperature superposition, the melt temperatures assessed in real time were found to be considerably higher than those chosen as the set points. This was ascribed to viscous dissipation generated mainly at the extrusion barrel boundaries. The real time assessment of polymer melt by the use of thermocouples agreed with estimated ones from reduced variables method. On the other hand, temperature increments were found to be a function of the mass flow. This is not taken into account on bench techniques due to isothermal flow assumption. Rheo-optical measurements carried out at both steady state and transient mass flow procedure showed that polystyrene behaves as a thermo-rheological material and, apparently, the stress optical rule holds for the processing conditions investigated given the independence of the flow-birefringence versus stress curve slopes with feed rate and temperature set-points.

The present work aims to present an example of linear a functional defined on a dense subspace of the Hardy space H1(Rn) to be built, with the intention of showing that despite the fact that this functional is uniformly bounded on all atoms, it does not extend to a bounded functional on the whole H1(Rn). This example was published by Bownik, M.B [2]. Therefore, this shows that in general is not enough to verify that an operator or a functional is bounded on atoms to conclude that it extends boundedly to the whole space. The construction is based on the fact due to Y. Meyer [1] which states that quasi-norms corresponding to finite and infinite atomic decomposition in Hp(Rn), 0 < p 6 1 are not equivalent. On the other hand it will be given a necessary and suficient condition for when and operator T defined in a dense Hardy subspace Hp(Rn) for 0 < p 6 1 is bounded extended. Such conditions were published by D. Yang and Y. Zhou [3].

Metacognition involves the knowledge that individuals have with respect to their own cognitive processes, and includes self- monitoring, self-regulation and evaluation of their cognitive activities. This study focuses on the evaluation of metacognitive monitoring via the solicitation of judgements, which can be used as a tool for the assessment of metacognition. From a cognitistic perspective, creativity is the term used to refer to a set of processes that enable variations in concepts, in order to facilitate the development of new ways of grouping ideas. The present study aimed to investigate metacognitive monitoring among university students when performing tasks that involve verbal creative processes. Participants included 82 university students, of both genders, who completed the Torrance’s Verbal Test of Creative Thinking. After finishing the creativity test, they were asked to evaluate their performance (metacognitive monitoring). The Results suggest that the participants appear to have poor metacognitive monitoring skills in tasks involving creativity, since the correlation between actual and estimated performance was weak. Future researches on this subject should address new hypotheses and work to eliminate possible methodological bias in the present study resulting from, for example, the homogeneity of the sample and limitations of the Creativity Monitoring Scale.

The society has been concerned to provide quality of life for people with disabilities. When it comes to people in disability situation, the role of physical education is especially relevant, since it can contribute significantly to the improvement of motor skills and physical condition, in turn, responsible for too typical behavior of human beings. In the case of Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome (SRT), the literature shows that there are numerous difficulties of a physical and motor that affect people, SRT is characterized by: - short stature; - Face feature; - Small head; - Slightly deformed ears; - Mental retardation; - Pulmonary stenosis; - Keloid formation in surgical scars; - Foramen magnum extended; - Vertebral and sternal abnormalities; - Thick or curved eyebrows; - Hyperextensible joints; - Pelvis small and inclined; - Stereotyped behavior: clap and sway the body when nervous or anxious. A person with SRT do not need all the features of the syndrome, but a combination of them. Baby stimulation and early intervention are highly recommended for the child with SRT. Appropriate stimuli engines through intervention programs may favor the acquisition of new functions, thus providing the best adaptation of environmental factors and aging to contribute to the education movement, body awareness and her own interaction with the environment. Motor development isintrinsically linked to cognitive and affective areas of human behavior. Thus, each individual is unique in its development and progress to the level that was determined by its environmental and biological conditions together with the special needs of the motor task. The study will contribute to the development of an overview of child motor development with Rubstein Taybi syndrome, and generate ideas and perspectives to other areas. Consist in a case study research exploratory, descriptive and qualitative type, with the aim of analyzing the effects of a motor stimulation program for a child with SRT; propose activities that promote motor development of the child; improve motor skills allowing higher levels of functioning in activities of daily life. A ten years old carrier of the syndrome is a participant in this study. Data collection was performed using the Motor Evaluation Kit Rosa Neto, video camera and computer. Data were organized and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. It appears in this study that WFP provided a decrease in risk factors imposed by motor condition Yasmin, giving it autonomy in activities of daily living and consequently improved quality of life.

This research's overall aim is to identify which meanings on teaching are produced and put into circulation by language schools advertising and which of these meanings refer specifically to Spanish Language. This is a qualitative-interpretative research that takes as object of analysis advertisements of four of the main Brazilian language schools franchising. We consider that the aspects related to the material conditions of the profession, linked with other historical aspects, contribute to the creation of meanings about the Spanish language and its teaching in Brazil. We trace, then, a historical overview on the Spanish language teaching in Brazil since Leffa (1999), Picanço (2003), and Daher(2006), we discuss theoretical aspects of the teaching professionalism based on Shulman (2005), Tardif (2002), and Gauthier (2006), and we support our studies on the Socio-discursive Interactionism proposed by Bronckart (2006, 2008,2009, 2012) and Machado (2009) to substantiate our discussions and text analysis. As results, our analysis indicates that language schools advertisements give emphasis to didactic material use (unique, updated, modern ones), and also on the school s Teaching Methods and their technologies, considering the teacher's role as something less important in the process. In this aspect, they confirm the results of previous researches about prescriptive texts (MACHADO et alii, 2009, p.25) in which teachers take position as simple adjuvants or instruments of a process ( ) her/his main work is represented as being the one who applies principles, contents, and the prescribed methodologies .

The petroleum crisis associated with global warming and environmental pollution has motivated researchers to investigate more profoundly the feasibility of alternative energy sources. Biofuels have been recently regaining popularity as one of the greatest promises of the high-tech future. Among the different forms of biofuels, biodiesel stands out for being a biodegradable compound, free of sulfur and aromatics. In this context, we developed different routes to synthesize heterogeneous catalysts made of calcium oxide (CaO) supported on magnetic ferrites and evaluated their activity in the transesterification reaction of ethyl. The first synthetic method employed in the preparation of magnetic supports was co-precipitation. The nanometer scale of ferrite particles was achieved by monitoring the flow rate of the reagents and the aging time of the products. The second method involved the usage of the precursor citrate not only due to its low cost but also because it helped in making the synthesis of nanoparticles easier. Furthermore, the wet impregnation method of the respective nitrate was employed in the production of the CaO catalysts which was calcined at 650°C afterwards. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, TEM-EDX, SQUID, DTP-CO2 IR and SEM-EDS. The catalysts containing different amounts of CaO were evaluated in the transesterification reaction between methyl acetate and ethanol. The results suggest that a high conversion rate (up to 85%) can be achieved depending on the CaO content on the catalyst. These high conversion rates encouraged us to study the effect of other catalysts on the ethyl transesterification of soybean oil at various reaction times and ethanol/oil molar ratios. Indeed, it was observed that the maximum conversion rate of esters obtained during the ethyl transesterification of soybean oil was higher than 50% in the presence of 50-CaO/ CuFe2O4 catalyst. Moreover, the stability tests showed that these catalysts can be used up to 6 reaction cycles and that Ca2+ leached does not catalyze the homogeneous phase. Therfore, the results suggest that CaO/ MFe2O4 are promising catalysts to replace the base homogeneous catalysts industrialy used for biodiesel production.

Data on the reproductive biology of birds are essential to test hypotheses regarding the evolution of different aspects of the life history of these animals. However, basic information on the reproductive behavior of most South American bird species are poorly known. Moreover, particularly for birds with wide geographic distribution, life history may vary according to the different environmental conditions. Thus, the study of reproductive behavior in different populations of the same species, allow the identification of patterns of variation to make inferences about the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms responsible for the diversification and facilitates the development of conservation strategies. The Black Crowned Night Heron, Nycticorax nycticorax (Ardeidae) is a cosmopolitan species very common in Brazil, which breeds in large colonies. Although data on the reproductive biology of this species are available for Europe and North America, is little studied in Brazil. Thus, the objective of this proposal is to describe the reproductive cycle of N. nycticorax in two colonies in the Parque Estadual Fontes do Ipiranga, São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The breeding season extended from July of 2013 to January 2014, however the field work was performed from September to January, with peak activity in September. The nests were built average 3,55 ± 2,58 m high and 2,36 ± 1,62 m alway from the main trunk. A total of 38 nests were found, but just 29 were monitored. The clutch size was 2.41 ± 0.68 (1 - 3) n = 29, and the incubation period was 23,26±1,26. The nestlings began to leave the nest with an average of 17.4 ± 3.6 days of life, what we call the stay 1, and left the nest definitely with 25,71 ± 7,16 days, which we call the residence 2. From 70 eggs, 57.14 % hatched and 25 chicks survived and left the nest. The survival rate was 31% from laying to the left of the nest, Mayfield. We compared with other tropical populations and the Northern Hemisphere, we recorded a strong tendency in latitudinal gradients of larger clutch size at high latitudes, but reproductive success does not seem to be associated with it, should be more associated with habitat conditions and availability of resources than with the latitudes. Incubation seem to support the premise to be higher in tropical regions, but few incubation data and nestling data are available for comparison.

This research consisted of a scientometric analysis of the Social Skills Field (SSF), to provide the basis for its systematization, through indicators to answer theoretical practice and research questions, such as: theoretical approaches which influence it? What are instruments and evaluation procedures of field? There interdisciplinarity in CHS? The study was conducted in four steps: (1) extraction, processing and refinement of a set of papers metadata in SSF from international databases (Corpus HS); (2) developing a set of key terms representing concepts and conceptual relations (Tesauro HS); (3) text mining of corpus metadata and of the thesaurus terms, to obtain radical terms of up to 4 words (ngrams), which allow find coincident terms between different data sets; (4) development of scientific indicators generated from the comparison between thesaurus ngrams and corpus ngrams. As a result, we have: (1) Corpus HS online with 25.409 metadata papers in SSF; (2) Thesaurus HS online with 1,043 terms, useful for indexing the submission and retrieval of publications; (3) bibliometric indicators online; (4) scientific indicators in response to a series of questions of field. This made it possible to establish an overview of SSF in several respects, including: the field has received theoretical influences of behavioral, cognitive and social cognitive approaches; the most studied HS classes are assertive; the most studied development phase is childhood; the main instruments used for HS assessment are scales and questionnaires; the Social Skills Training (SST) is applied to more students, teenagers, parents and teachers. Based on this research, one can make inferences about the SSF such as: the conceptual base is formed by HS class, deficits and components; the main target audience is the child of preschool age; the field holds no clinical interventions in the educational and family environment and clinical interventions to treat mental disorders; THS has been used for teaching of HS students, teenagers, parents and teachers; the field maintains interdisciplinary relations with fields of Humanities and Health Sciences.

Context: Inspections are a software quality assurance activity which can be applied throughout the development process and in different types of artifacts, since it is a statistic activity, based essentially on reading techniques. In the context of source code inspection, a commonly used reading technique is the Stepwise Abstraction (SA). Among the artifacts that comprise a software, the ones related to databases stand out, for instance, SQL source code, of which no reading techniques proposals were identified to support the inspection. Objective: In this setting, this work shows a proposal for systematizing the SQL source code inspection activity using the Stepwise Abstraction technique, with the computational support of the CRISTA tool. Methodology: Due to the shortage of reports and assessment of inspection use in SQL source code in the literature, a survey was developed to identify how the SQL code inspection process is conducted and what the difficulties encountered by IT professionals during its execution are. The survey results provided directives for the development of the systematization proposal for the SQL source code inspection and implementation of new features on the CRISTA tool. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of use for the proposal. Results: The results obtained through the experimental study were satisfactory and show positive indication relating to the feasibility of use for the proposal. When the inspection activity was conducted following the systematizing proposal, 9.3% more defects were found relating to the adhoc approach. Regarding to false positives, the systematization proposal use resulted in zero false positives, while the adhoc approach had two occurrences. Conclusion: Based on these results, the proposal for systematizing the SQL code inspection activity, with the support of the Stepwise Abstraction reading technique and CRISTA tool, showed itself viable for use. In comparison to the adhoc inspection, used in practice, the effectiveness in defects detection increased, while the number of false positives decreased. Additionally, it should be noted the research relevance for the software engineering area, taking into account the shortage of studies related to the SQL code inspection in the literature.

The thesis discusses the dissemination of affective advice manuals in Brazil from the analysis of best seller books Why men don t listen & women can t read maps, What smart women know, Why men love bithes and Seduction: a two-way road as well as the experiences of 23 readers interviewed for the research, by locating them in age, education, profession, regional origin, class, race, sexual orientation, marital status, among other aspects. Considering the experiences of readers regarding the manuals, two classification groups were established: 1) those that read, identified themselves with the contents of the books and adopted the advices in everyday life, changing their behavior as oriented by the manuals; 2) those that did not identified themselves or that changed their opinion about the books in another stage of life. In both cases, the main reason for reading the manuals was the need for emotional guidance in the search for long-lasting relationships. Among the uses of the advices identified in the account of the readers, was observed the emotional management, through which women sought to rationalize feelings, to avoid loving suffering in the process of affective pair choosing. The research starts from the emotional dimension, represented by the analysis of manuals and interviews with readers, seeking to observe the existing mediations in the studied phenomenon, which relates to therapeutic discourse, notions of individualism, feminism influences, mass culture, market relations and consumption. The manuals provide emotional advice that promise solutions to love life and by observing the experiences of readers, it is identified that the search by the books is also explained due to position management required to women today when they try to conciliate the scopes of emotion, family and work. By analyzing the emotional cost experienced by women and the solutions offered by advice literature, this research discusses implications in gender relation aspects in the current context.
