The purpose of the present research was to analyze the process of introducing a Support Nucleus Family´s Healthy (NASF) team into the cities of the state of São Paulo. Considering that the introduction of the team is one of the most important stages to the development of work processes in health, it is important to discuss this stage in a NASF context, as it is one of the main projects supporting the Health Family's Team (ESF) of the Ministry of Health. In terms of methodology it is a qualitative research, of a single case and in process. Therefore, several semistructured interviews were carried out with managers of the Municipal Secretariat of Health and focal Group members of the NASF team. The analysis by categories of topics was the technique used to explore the material collected. The research project was analyzed and had its development approved by UFSCar s Ethics Committee on Human Research and by the Municipal Secretariat of Health. The discussion indicated that the introduction of the NASF into the municipalities occurred in a very disturbed way and with few adherence to the proposals described in the NASF acquisition project. The professionals who integrated the first NASF teams were already part of the municipality health system. This choice for the selection and formation of the teams has brought negative consequences for its consolidation, once the professionals had few experience or no knowledge at all related to the work proposal. Nevertheless, although the work process between NASF and ESF has developed very slowly, due to, as related by the participants, the lack of communication and management support, the team was able to make it feasible some ways of support dictated by the Basic Attention Brochure, which sets out NASF s policies. The main tool used by the teams during this process were the case discussions. Through them, the components of the NASF team were able to work on several topics relevant to their work, such as interdisciplinary, team work and construction of care plans through the singular therapeutic project (PTS), establishing the matricial support as the principal element for their work. However, the development of the work and the introduction period have shown lack of planning, and, as a main consequence, lack of dialogue between management and NASF, making even harder the introduction process of the team in the health network. The establishment of collective places for continuous education could become a propelling spring, once, rethinking the work, looking at the problems and identifying its meanings, may lead to changes in certain contexts from the motivation of the players involved.

The operation strategy is responsible for key decisions of activities to be perform by the function of production, in order to achieve competitive advantage in the market. Therefore, studies on the operations strategy are recurring in the industrial and service sectors. Agribusiness is the primary responsible for good Brazilian economic results, mainly by export the grains produced by rural enterprises throughout the country, especially in Mato Grosso State. However, there is little research about management of farms, even less for the studies on competitive positioning and performance of these enterprises regarding operation strategy. Thus, this research aimed to identify and analyze strategic groups of grain farms established in the Mato Grosso State West Center counties regarding the operations strategy issues. Therefore, a cross-sectional survey-study was design directed to the farmers from the APROSOJA West Region. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with questions about the farm profile, competitive priorities and structural and infrastructural decisions of producers on grain production. The responses obtained, 104 from the 1020 farms registered in the West Region, had a return rate of 10%. Data analyses were carried out using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis methods. Descriptive analysis showed the main farm characteristics (location, size, employee number, main products, diversification, etc.), the target markets and their factors (main customers, certifications, marketing forms). These issues enables to identify the competitive strategy of the surveyed farms. Factorial analysis has provided verification of the constructs latent factors, which forms the operations strategy content - competitive priorities and structural and infrastructural decisions. These factors showed the variables that best explains the constructs to this research context and are useful as input to a third analysis, which proposed the formation of strategic groups. Using cluster analysis, strategic groups were formed from the latent factors of Operation and competitive strategy variables. Results indicate very similar competitive priorities characteristics; however, investments in structural and infrastructural decisions apparently have allowed a better performance to the farms. The main theoretical contribution of this work for operations strategy is the research of this concept in an agricultural context, where it was possible to identify latent factors components and to understand how the strategic decisions coherence for operations, also in this segment, enables positive result achievements to farm companies.

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the edification of knowledge concerning the construction of youth masculinity. The hypothesis is that heterosexuality needs homosexuality for its own strengthening and that by accusing, signaling and judging the "less" or non-hegemonic male, or the homosexual, it reinforces itself. Established by cultural experiences, masculinity is built through social relationships and communication in places such as school and the internet. So, to connect both of these spaces methodologically, the study initially includes 600 subjects, both male and female, of two educational institutions in the municipal of Uberaba-MG, Brazil. From this particular group only 200 males, between ages 14 to 16, were identified and invited to continue taking part in the study. The students were asked several objective questions which led to the identification of 17 out of the 200 subjects. The use of communication through social networks with the identified males allowed for the observation of their speech and expressions, which has been used as reinforcement and reference for this discussion. So referenced, conceivable understandings of social components and procedures of the formation of male adolescents’ identity and the independence between each category have risen. Furthermore this thesis attempts to contribute to the understanding of how masculinities in adolescence are determined, experienced and inherited

The pharmaceutical compounds residues, especially antibiotics, are among the most worrying emerging environmental contaminants. These residues potentially cause negative effects on microorganisms that play an important role in the ecosystems processes, dynamics and stability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the oxytetracycline (OTC) (against bacterium) and imazalil (IMZ) (against fungus) action on the aquatic macrophyte Egeria najas Planch decomposition in laboratory bioassays. Microcosm experiments were performed in borosilicate flasks, in triplicate, containing fragments of E. najas and water collected in Beija-Flor Reservoir, Jataí Ecological Station, Luiz Antônio, São Paulo, Brazil. The experiments were performed as follows: water and macrophyte; water with OTC and macrophyte; water with IMZ and macrophyte; water with a mixture of OTC and IMZ and the macrophyte. The OTC decay in water was also analyzed in microcosm without plant detritus addition. The experiments were kept in the dark, at 21 °C, in two experimental conditions: aerobic and anaerobic. Water pH and electrical conductivity of the systems were measured at the sampling times (1, 3, 5, 15, 35 and 65 days after the onset of the experiments). Dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN) and OTC were analyzed in the dissolved fraction. Bacterial diversity was evaluated by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) and bacterial cell number counted by epifluorescence microscopy in the aqueous portion. A first-order kinetic model was adopted to describe and compare macrophyte decomposition at different treatments. The results showed that the refractory fraction decomposition and the DOC mineralization were lower in experiments containing antimicrobial OTC than in control experiments in aerobic conditions. Changes in decomposition rates were not observed in anaerobic conditions. The OTC action was not effective due to its adsorption to particulate plant material (between 61 and 65%). According to the DGGE profiles obtained for the Bacteria Domain, the bacterial community in bioassays has been modified throughout the experiment time and according to the treatment. From these results, it was concluded that antimicrobial agents can alter the rate of decomposition of detrital plant material in water, depending on environmental conditions.

The anarchist movement, contemporary to the Enlightenment, has the press like one of its main dissemination tools, advertising and expression. This type of literature that integrates the reference of educational research without, however, represent the main source. Educational Enlightenment, in turn, is traditionally studied from the written of authors who did not represent the workers expropriated by capital. That said, relying on documentary analysis methodology, the research presented here aims to: demonstrate the proximity of the two strands of thought (anarchist and Enlightenment); and verify the presence of the ideals of the Enlightenment that permeate the texts of productions that circulated among workers, especially the libertarian journal A Lanterna, published in São Paulo in the early twentieth century. Such ideals are represented in this research, the categories: Society, Inequality & Freedom; Education, Religion, Science & Rationality; and Women & School Education - identified during the readings issues discussed by both strands of thought (anarchist and Enlightenment). During the following text, are exposed proximities between the ideals analyzed, after all, it was found that, saved the ideal society concept differences, the study authors looked for transform society, weaving criticism of the government of their times and electing education as an important tool of emancipation and achievement targets transformations. We were also able to identify ideals of the Enlightenment in the publications analyzed of libertarian newspaper A Lanterna. It is also expected to provide an expansion of research sources, allowing the libertarian press can also contribute to the research on the educational enlightenment.

It has been shown that the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) of rats contains nitrergic neurons, which are activated during animal exposure to aversive stimuli. BNST is also populated by glutamatergic and corticotrophin releasing factor (CRFergic) neurons, which in turn, are also activated under stressful situations. Here we investigated the anxiogenic-like effects of intra-BNST injections of a nitric oxide (NO) donor, NOC-9, in mice. The role of CRFergic and glutamatergic systems on defensive behavior induced by NOC-9 was investigated with previous intra-BNST infusion of CP376395 (0, 0.75, 1.50 or 3.00 nmol), a CRF type 1 receptor antagonist (CRF1), or AP-7 (0, 0.05, 0.10 or 0.20 nmol), a NMDA receptor antagonist, respectively. Defensive behavior was assessed immediately and 5 minutes after intra-BNST drug injection, exposing mice to an arena (a neutral situation) and to the elevated plus-maze (EPM; an anxiogenic situation), respectively. Results showed that NOC-9 (all doses) provoked immobility assessed in the arena and increased anxiety in the EPM (e.g., decrease in the percentage of open-arm exploration). Despite failing to produce effects on basal levels of anxiety when injected alone (all doses), pretreatment with CP (3.00 nmol) prevented the anxiogenic-like effect of NOC-9 (75.00 nmol) without changing the immobility behavior. Pretreatment with AP-7 (0.05 nmol) produced similar effects, however, when injected alone 0.20 nmol AP-7 attenuated anxiety-like behavior. These results suggest that the CRF1 and NMDA receptors located within the BNST differentially modulate the aversive effects induced by NO production in this limbic forebrain structure.

This research takes a look at the eight documentaries directed by Paulo Gil Soares between 1960 and 1970 in the experience that became known today as Caravana Farkas, all of them made in northeastern Brazil: Memória do cangaço (1965), Erva Bruxa (1969-70), A morte do boi (1970), A mão do homem (1969-70), Jaramataia (1970), O homem de couro (1969-70), Vaquejada (1970) e Frei Damião: trombeta dos aflitos, martelo dos hereges (1970). It´s about short and medium-length films that were inserted in a project which had the intention to “bring Brazil to the Brazilians” – in vogue in the context of the Cinema Novo – and it was attended by filmmakers who experienced a very singular production, in which it is perceived a share political views and, especially, aesthetics and thematic options in the documentary field. By trying to step away from the generalization about that experience, which is sometimes present the literature on Brazilian cinema, we will point out the distinctive features of the eight Paulo Gil Soares movies. It's our purpose to outline the features of this filmmaker's "voice" in Caravana Farkas and thus differentiate him from other directors of the same experience. For this purpose, in the filmic analysis that follow, we will focus in three relevant aspects to the aesthetic and discursive constructions of his documentaries: the activated voices, the way the characters are portrayed and the appropriation from folk culture.

The aim of this work is the use of price test method to determine the geographic relevant market, so that if two geographic areas form a single geographical market for a given product, in the long term, the price trajectory between these regions would follow the same path. The empirical application was made to the asphalt products distributors market in Brazil, more specifically for asphalt cement and diluted asphalt, for the period between January 2008 and December 2014. Due to increasing demand of asphalt products for maintenance and conservation of the existing road network and the creation of new roads, besides the existence of few studies defining the relevant market in order to evaluate a possible market power of the distributors of such products, becomes of utmost importance to make further studies. It is concluded that the relevant market for these products is National, except Northeast for asphalt cement.

The National Program for Production and Use of Biofuels - PNPB is a government action that seeks to expand the Brazilian energy matrix with the introduction of Biodiesel as an alternative. The government points to the role of family farming as one of the innovative and decisive factors for the success of PNPB. The guiding documents emphasize that the packing houses wishing to enter this process are required to purchase the raw material from family farmers. In the universe of the actors involved in the aspect of production of the raw material are : large corporations that sell fuel , labor unions, and family farmers . Northeast Pará , several farmers have signed contracts to supply palm oil to companies hulling. O study aims to understand , under the socio-economic aspect , as the introduction of palm routine from farmers resident in the settlements involved in the action and located in the northeast Pará.

The fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a rheumatologic condition characterized by non-inflammatory widespread chronic pain and tender points in specific anatomic locations. In addition to the pain symptoms, FMS is also associated with the presence of a variety of symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnea, which has called attention to the review of the respiratory system in women with FMS. Thus, this work consisted of two studies aiming to elucidate the unknown aspects related to the respiratory system of women with FMS. The Study I, entitled "Pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and thoracoabdominal mobility in women with fibromyalgia syndrome: association with clinical manifestations", aimed to evaluate lung function, respiratory muscle strength and thoracoabdominal mobility as well as to assess possible associations of respiratory variables with clinical manifestations in women with FMS. The results show that the FMS group in this study has lower respiratory muscle endurance, inspiratory muscle strength and thoracic mobility compared to healthy participants. In addition, the study demonstrated that the lower inspiratory muscle strength, the greater the number of tender points and fatigue and lower axillary mobility. The Study II, entitled "Influence aerobic hydrotherapy program on lung function, respiratory muscle strength and thoracoabdominal mobility in women with fibromyalgia syndrome: a randomized controlled trial", aimed to evaluate the influence of an aerobic hydrotherapy program on respiratory variables and clinical manifestations in women with FMS and assess the association between respiratory variables and clinical manifestations. The results show that a 16-week aerobic hydrotherapy program increased the slow vital capacity, the forced vital capacity, the inspiratory muscle strength, the thoracic mobility, the pressure pain threshold, well-being, and decreased pain, and limitations caused by physical aspects. Clinical improvement was not associated with the respiratory variables. Conclusion: The subjects with FMS had lower respiratory muscle endurance, inspiratory muscle strength and thoracic mobility compared to healthy subjects. In addition, a 16-week aerobic hydrotherapy program showed to be effective in ameliorating lung function, inspiratory muscle strength, thoracic mobility, pressure pain threshold, well-being, pain and limitations caused by physical aspects. However, clinical improvement of FMS symptoms was not associated with the improvement of respiratory variables.

Eutrophication of the aquatic environment favors cyanobacteria blooms and affects the biota due to organoleptic water changing and the release of toxins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of microcystin contained in the crude extract of the cyanobacteria Radiocystis fernandoi (R28 strain) in the fish Hoplias malabaricus assessing the degree of structural and functional impairment of the liver, the accumulation potential in muscle and risk to human health. Traíras were injected intraperitoneally with 100 μg MC-LReq kg-1 following two experimental protocols: (i) acute exposure with the application of a single dose of the crude extract and evaluation after 12 and 96 hours and (II) chronic exposure in which a dose was injected every 72 hours during 30 days. Genotoxic, biochemical, physiological and morphological biomarkers were used to evaluate the action of toxins, structural and ultrastructural damage in the liver, the detoxification mechanisms and changes in energy metabolism. The R28 strain produced mainly the MC-RR and MC-YR showing hepatotoxic potential. In the liver there was accumulation of MC-YR after acute and chronic exposure and MC-RR and MC-RR only after chronic exposure. There was not MC accumulation in muscle. The accumulation of the variants (MC-RR and MC-YR) depends on the concentration and the body's defense system for depuration and biomagnification. Acute and chronic exposure caused inhibition of the serine protein phosphatase / threonine type of PP2A activity, increased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate activity and direct bilirubin in plasma indicating liver damage. Macroscopically occurred changes in the color, texture and liver mass; microscopically the morphology of hepatocytes and intracellular organelles were altered and there were dilated sinusoids and hyperemia. After 30 days, the frequency of changes increase, and fibrous tissue disrupted the architecture of hepatic tissue. Changes in intermediary metabolism as glucose, liver glycogen, pyruvate and lactate showed increased energy demand and physiological stress. Moreover, there was activation of phase I of the biotransformation system and alterations in cellular antioxidant systems. Morphological signs of recovery in the liver were observed after 96 hours (single dose) to MC, but not after 30 days and no signs of cell regeneration. DNA damage were observed as well. The biochemical changes and liver structure showed functional impairment of the liver. In conclusion, the microcystin present in the crude extract of cyanobacteria R. fernandoi (R28 strain) combined with other substances in the extract may compromise the health and survival of the animal.

The purpose of this thesis was to develop a microwave dilatometer and to study the non-isothermal sintering kinetics of multiferroic composite ceramics. The multiferroic system used to study the sintering kinetics was a composite of two crystalline phases: piezo BaTiO3 and magnetostrictive CoxNi(1-x)Fe2O4 (where x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 and molar ratios of 80/20, 70/30 and 50/50). A method was developed for the synthesis step, called in situ synthesis, to produce the two crystalline phases from a single solution in which the starting materials were completely dissolved. In this synthesis step, a groundbreaking method was developed for the in situ sol-gel synthesis of lead-free BaTiO3/CoxNi(1-x)Fe2O4 composites, applying synthesis control parameters such as basic pH and the amount of polyacrylic acid (PAA) added as a chelating agent. The use of basic pH and PAA as chelating agent enabled the simultaneous formation of two high purity crystalline phases with nanometric particles, spheroidal morphologies, and controlled stoichiometry. The microwave dilatometer measurement device was developed using a pyrometer sensing system, which enabled temperature measurements to be taken without the need for direct contact with the sample, and with greater accuracy, since it prevents direct interaction between the sensor and the microwave field. The effectiveness of the newly developed microwave dilatometer was tested in a study of the shrinkage behavior of the samples, which was compared with their behavior in a conventional dilatometer. The results revealed that shrinkage of the BaTiO3/CoxNi(1-x)Fe2O4 composites during microwave heating occurred at a lower sintering temperature than in conventional sintering, indicating the existence of “non-thermal” effects caused by the interaction of the sample with the microwaves. The “microwave effect” directly affected the sintering mechanisms, as evidenced by the activation energy in the initial stage of sintering. The development of the microwave heated dilatometer provided groundbreaking results in terms of reliable and reproducible dilatometric data. In addition, the in situ sol-gel synthesis of BaTiO3/CoxNi(1-x)Fe2O4 powders enabled a systematic study of the non-isothermal sintering kinetics of this material, opening up excellent prospects for the application of this technique to other materials.

It is denominated Visual Impairment (VI) the spectrum that goes from blindness to low vision. In low vision, there is an alteration of the functional capacity due to factors like significant lowered visual acuity, important reduction of the visual field and of the contrasts sensibility and the limitation of other abilities. In blindness, there is total vision loss, even the absence of light projection. Among the difficulties, that a visually impaired person has to deal with, is the engagement and permanency in school, in which, aside the physical-environmental adaptation, the interpersonal relations are also established with teachers and peers that have the capacity to see. Due to this context, the research had as its objective, identify the interpersonal relations that are established between students with VI and the teachers, peers and other individuals that are part of the student‟s school environment. The research is characterized as exploratory in the qualitative approach. Participated in the research, three students with VI (blindness and low vision) enrolled in the primary education (Ensino Fundamental Ciclo II). The data was obtained by observation means of the interaction of the students in class-time and during break and from semi-structured interviews with them. The data was analyzed in the light of theoretical reference, which was base for this research. The results showed the difficulties addressed by the students with VI in the sense of conquering the feeling of belonging to a group of friends; being able to follow the content taught; difficulty from these students to engage their peers and teachers. The results contemplated the traced objectives in this research in the sense that it was possible to know how the interpersonal relations were established, by the students with VI, allowing them the opportunity to express their opinions and feelings on the school environment. It seems necessary to have a warm-hearted hospitality, considering that the students carry with them experiences and feelings from their home and transfer them to their teachers and peers. As important as the care with content and academic objectives given to students, there should be a meticulous attention given to the form of how the interpersonal relations are established in the school context, since these are valuable elements for the development of the student in all his/her totality.

Captive programs of breeding and management of threatened species act as a safeguard against a likely extinction of species in the nature. The model species in this study, Leontopithecus chrysomelas or golden headed lion tamarin (MLCD), has populations maintained in captivity in order to ensure a representative genetic diversity, since its natural habitat has been undergoing gradual loss and fragmentation. In contrast to which occurs in other threatened species, MLCD’s captive population has a large number of founder individuals. The genetic diversity of two captive populations of L. chrysomelas was evaluated by using 16 microsatellite loci (seven homologous and nine heterologous loci). The populations are held at Centro de Primatologia do Rio de Janeiro (CPRJ) and at Fundação Parque Zoológico de São Paulo (FPZSP) and we aimed to verify if genetic diversity has been maintained ex situ in comparison to in situ’s. Besides, we investigated possible correlations between fitness and individual heterozygosity. The fitness measure was the individual contribution for population growth (Pt) in a given time interval. We detected genetic differentiation between the two evaluated institutions due to lack of gene flow for some past generations. Our findings suggest that genetic diversity of these captive populations is similar to one measured in wild population of REBIO-Una&Ararauna, which is found in a single protected forest area that is large enough to retain an average or high density of MLCD and 98% of its genetic diversity. The individual heterozygosity effect on Pt fitness measure was verified just in CPRJ population. This correlation analysis indicates that the individuals from CPRJ with higher heterozygosity are leaving more offspring, which does not happen in FPZSP. The genetic diversity and correlation between fitness and individual heterozygosity results suggest that the management carried out in institutions is divergent.

This project investigates the foundation and strengthening of SEBRAE institution, known as a reference in the consulting segment for micro and small enterprises in our country. For this purpose, makes an initial survey of scientific literature on the subject, beyond identifying and presenting some data and indicators related to small Brazilian companies, in order to demonstrate their actual importance in the Brazilian economic scenario. Then, it reexamines the consulting industry history in Brazil and in the world, resuming Consulting Cartography in Brazil and the studies conducted here about the sector. Finally, it presents the data identified about SEBRAE's trajectory since its birth and its development over the 40 years of its history. The study is based on the analysis of documents and data generated by the institution, publications about it, interviews with directors, employees and consultants, and it makes a general analysis of the institution from its activities in consulting, in order to identify and describe how it is made setting the agenda and products offered, the attended audience, the consulting agents, its organizational structure and the applied strategies for achieving their goals. As a result, it was possible to identify the major growth with consulting services as from changes in the strategies and products offered to different customers in all three stages presented: decades of 1970/1980, the 1990s and from 2000s, when it strengthens its performance in public policy, and its products are defined to micro and small enterprises, in addition to individual micro entrepreneurs, both formal and potential.

The agile methods of software development have emerged as an alternative to traditional approaches, to spend less time on documentation and more time with solving problems interactively and iteratively. In this context, the development approach Domain Driven Design (DDD) is a way of developing software in which the application design process is guided by a domain model. In conjunction with the DDD development approach, the existence of tests during the implementation of an application is required to ensure quality. Objective: This work aims to study the agile development approach Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and the software test techniques Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). A case study was built to exemplify the integration of each test technique with DDD. The case study was developed with the support of the Apache Isis framework, from a well-defined domain model. Methodology: Based on the literature, the concepts of the DDD development approach and of the TDD and BDD test techniques, that provided the comparison between the techniques, and later, the implementation to illustrate this research, were extracted. The Apache Isis framework was used in this work because it allows develop DDD applications quickly. During the development of the sample system of this work, the possibility of creating an automatic generator tests and scenarios for BDD was noted. Results: A case study was created using the concepts of DDD and tests, with TDD and BDD. Furthermore, a prototype of tests and scenarios generator for software projects that use DDD, through the Apache Isis framework and tests using BDD, was developed. Conclusions: The combination of test techniques mentioned with DDD aim to boosting the development of applications, since DDD is not associate with any test technique. Writing scenarios with ubiquitous language is a great advantage to integrate DDD and BDD, because it allows a clear understanding for all involved in the project. Moreover, the creation of automatic generator speeds up the testing phase, and can detect errors that might go unnoticed or only be found as the project evolved.

In recent years we have witnessed a permanent offensive sectors of the federal government and a very strong lobby of construction companies, mining companies and other companies interested in easing the environmental licensing standards. To this campaign added the deconstruction efforts of environmental legislation, undertaken by a joint forces located inside and outside of our legislatures. We emphasize in particular the limited participation of government institutions in the licensing process and advocate to be revised the current contracting model. Thus, this study will seek, in the light of network analysis theory and mutual comparison between the results and analysis of a brazilian environmental impact study and an academic research project for the same lithology, analyze the limits and contradictions of study brazilian environmental impact. The readback proposed aims to illustrate the possible existence of control by private interests in the studies of environmental impact as a result of their employment structure and governmental control. The analysis of the concession of natural areas operating license process is necessary given the importance of this study within the sustainable development theme, as well as their hiring process.

Fruit quality is closely related to its physical characteristics, such as surface color and firmness, and are directly associated to the ethylene production (C2H4), which is the ripening hormone responsible for initiating the ripening process in fruits and vegetables. Consequently, the control of ethylene levels during postharvest can contribute to effectively extend vegetables shelf life. On the other hand, ripening indicators can be useful for the fruit production chain, because they provide information about product quality and may assist both the wholesaler and the consumer in the purchase decision steps. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functionality of platforms containing potassium permanganate (KMnO4) impregnated into inorganic nanoparticles (alumina and silica). Such platforms are aimed to be used as a colorimetric indicator (sensor) of ‘Pizzadoro’ tomato maturation, relating to the physicochemical changes in fruit quality. The use of nanoparticles (size between 1 and 100 nm) as carriers for KMnO4 makes ethylene oxidation more efficient, and allows for a superior color change, when compared to larger particles (above 100 nm). ‘Pizzadoro’ tomato fruits packed in polyethylene terephthalate packages (PET) containing adhesive with different concentrations of potassium permanganate (2,5%, 5%, 10%) impregnated into nanoparticles were maintained in storage chambers at 22 °C and 90% RH; and evaluated at every two days regarding: peel color, firmness, pH, soluble solids (ºBrix), titratable acidity, maturation index (ratio), as well as the gaseous composition of the package, except for fresh weight loss, which was carried out daily. The results indicated that potassium permanganate impregnated on nanoparticles were capable of absorbing and oxidizing ethylene efficiently, resulting in a gradual color change of the adhesives, from purple to brown. No significant differences in physical and chemical variables between treatments were observed, except for the fruit color parameters, suggesting delayed chlorophyll degradation and lycopene synthesis. Alumina nanoparticles impregnated with 5 and 10% of KMnO4 treatments showed a better performance as maturation indicators, presenting at least three adhesive color standards each. In sensory evaluation, tasters preferred the more intense red coloration fruits.

With the challenge of preparing our students for their role in a global Market, it is a high priority teaching them a second language in order to raise the percentage of speakers, who master the English language. In São Paulo, recent investments have enabled the expansion of the number of Language Teaching Centers (CEL) as well as the introduction of English language as one of the options. Our concern in this context is to understand how educational performance and collateral factors might contribute in the teaching process and the foreign language learning. Starting with the question: “How does the teacher approach can influence the development of the proposed activities with the provided support material of the English course?”, we proceeded to investigate the CEL English classroom, in order to understand the teaching activities and the teacher's relationship with the material. Based on Almeida Filho (1993, 2011), Barcelos (2006a) and Abrahão (2002), an ethnographic-based study was conducted. For data collection, we have used semi-structured questionnaire for the teacher, semi-structured questionnaire for the student, interview with the teacher and teacher observation as instruments in order to see how the teaching action influences the English course offered at CEL. These instruments have allowed us to perform the triangulation of data and its analysis. The results suggested that the teacher's relationship with the course support material it is still attached to the old-fashioned teaching guided by traditional approach, in spite of the training they have gone through. The results have showed that the teacher's approach is prevalent in the consolidation of the support material and guidance for the students. If we are to expect for a new language teaching practice, focused on significant teaching, also contemporary and communicative, an urgent condition is to offer the teachers training courses that bring them to reflection on theories and methodologies in contemporary language teaching. In order to provide both teacher professional development and the improvement of foreign language teaching in basic education.
