Programa gráfico livre para a análise de lajes de edificações de concreto armado usando o modelo de grelha equivalente
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2015-05-05) Cass, Andrew John Richter; Carvalho, Roberto Chust; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3633394168236221; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5825283339741967
It’s presented in this work a graphic program that allows the analysis (calculation of forces and displacements) of concrete slabs by the equivalent grid model. The surface is considered as monolithic without the traditional discretization of the structure, i.e., the separation of the various structural members (beams, columns and slabs). Only the pillars are considered as unmovable in the direction of its principal axis. The graphical environment designed for this is pioneering, developed by objectoriented programming and will be distributed freely and with listings available. The system allows the designing of the structure as a model, allowing an easier perception of its different structural components and the definition of the different stresses on it. The program establishes an interface adapted to the calculation module, that initially was developed by Igor Stayanov Cotta in 2006,.and thus allows the graphic view of the efforts, displacements and stresses acting over the model.
Educação ambiental em zoológicos do nordeste paulista para a conservação da onça parda (Puma concolor) : reflexões sobre atividades e estruturas educadoras

Zoos house many specimens of native fauna and have great potential to contribute to Environmental Education for biodiversity conservation. However, some studies have pointed that even when these institutions carry on biodiversity conservation actions, this subject may be presented in their educational activities or exhibitions. To investigate the potential of zoos in Environmental Education for biodiversity, we chose the cougar (Puma concolor) conservation as motivating topic. It was selected for the reason that this specie is important to biodiversity maintenance in São Paulo State and because there are many challenges in education for big predators conservation. The purpose of this study was to identify environmental education for the cougar conservation strategic actions that zoos could be do; to discuss the educational intent on animal’s exhibition in zoos nowadays; and to analyze the cougar grounds for their potential as facilities that educates for the conservation of this specie. Adopting Freire principles, that grounds the critical environmental education and a hermeneutic research approach, this thesis was set up as a collective instrumental qualitative study case. The research had a diagnostic stage involving five zoos from Sao Paulo northeastern, in which the research first purpose was developed, and a further analysis stage performed with three of these institutions to address the other two purposes of this study. To collect information, we mainly use zoos technical and educational teams interviews, exhibition and cougar exhibit observations; and, finely, informative stuff, websites and technical documents analyses focused on enclosures and animals. The main result of diagnostic was that any specific cougar educational activity had been performed. But, the issue was extremely important for these institutions, which reported many cougars rescues, including some that occurred with animals on display. The teams believe that activities such as campaigns between Sao Paulo State zoos could improve the development of educational stuffs and facilities that educates for this specie conservation. From second stage of the research, we highlight there are two purposes regarding to animals display: firstly it’s to provide close contact with animals and secondly it’s to educate people for nature conservation. These purposes are coherent with zoos conservation goals and environmental education actions. Although, on an educational exhibition it is necessary to set up the balance between elements that explore each one of these purposes. In this sense, the analysis of cougar exhibits shows that the enclosures and its labels doesn’t has been focused on biodiversity conservation. Mediation about this topic it has been done mainly by educators. That reveals enclosures weaknesses on role as facilities that educates, but their potential could be expanded with additional information inclusion that contextualizes the cougar in their locality.
A expansão das universidades federais no Brasil: momentos e instrumentos (2000-2013)

In the last fifteen years, a variety of public policies for higher education were implanted with an inclusive and equitable approach, among them we have the REUNI program, the AffirmativeAction LAW, PROUNI, FIES and PNAES. However, the trajectory of higher education in thecountry since its inception until the 1990s do not record innovations of this magnitude. Our question ,then, is how to understand this change of context that allowed this magnitude policies were implemented, attempting to assess how certain issues come into public agenda, by what means and what the instruments are used, enabling public policies in the sector were implemented from the years 2000. The study was performed using documents related to national and international debate between 1985 and 2012, which were organized and analyzed to gather information on how was the formation of the thematic discussion agenda. As a result of this work, we identified four debates in different instances that contributed to the formation of the network expansion idea of higher education and its complementary instruments.
