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.

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.

Birds contribute to many kinds of environmental services, such as predation on arthropods, which results in their population control, and reduced folivory and higher growth rates of plants. In addition, insectivorous birds are sensitive to environmental disturbances, requiring protected areas for conservation and being indicators of environmental quality. In this research, we sampled the insectivorous birds and tested whether they affect the abundance of arthropods and folivory rates. We compared three areas of different successional stages and management, and seasonality in a protected area of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. The areas selected were anthropic area (“sede”), early and advanced stages of succession. We carried out samplings of birds through 12 fixed points for 13 months and classified species in guilds, grouping the consumers of arthropods between strict and facultative insectivorous. We also proceed a twice bird exclusion experiment (rainy and dry season), comparing arthropod abundance and foliar damage in covered vs. non-covered branches. A total of 186 species of birds have been recorded, with 142 consumers of arthropods. The composition of birds was affected by spatial variation, as the temporal variation presented a diffuse influence. The advanced stage area hosts a higher species richness of specialists, threatened, endemic and with a high degree of environmental sensitivity. The “sede” adds generalist and low degree of sensitivity species. The exclusion of birds resulted in a significant increase in abundance (z=24,682, p = 0) and diversity (z=12,825, p = 0) of arthropods, but this was not reflected in differences in folivory; thus which may be driven by other factors such as the bottom-up effect. The abundance of arthropods showed an inverse relationship with the abundance of strict and facultative insectivorous birds and this control through predation occurred in all areas, suggesting the importance of omnivorous species. The spatial variation of insectivorous birds highlights the potential of each sampled area for maintenance of the functional role of these birds, and this might be considered for management practices.

The main goal of any captive breeding program consists is maximizing the conservation of genetic diversity. Groups kept in captivity are particularly susceptible to the loss of genetic diversity, inbreeding depression and adaptation to captivity, due to their small size. The genetic characterization of wild and captive populations is an important tool both to minimize these impacts and for the conservation of these species, since it enables the development of management strategies aimed at maintenance of genetic diversity. In this context, the main objective of the study was to evaluate genetic variability and paternity for animals of black lion tamarin from Centro de Primatología do Rio de Janeiro, Fundacão Parque Zoológico de Sao Paulo, Parque Ecológico de Sao Carlos and 14 specimen belonging to the Durrell Conservation Trust in England using 15 microsatellite loci. The results of the allelic richness and expected heterozygosity showed similar values of alleles numbers and heterozygosity when compared with other species of Callitrichidae. Factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) showed greater homogeneity among captive animals than wild animals from Capão Bonito. The captive groups showed no differentiation among them and high differentiation from the wild Capão Bonito population. The data obtained herein are fundamental to increase the knowledge in genetic aspects of tamarins and support breeding programs to prevent loss of genetic diversity and inbreeding.

The academic literature often references the articulation of the Catholic Church in the period of the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1984), sometimes supporting the coup, sometimes taking part in the democratic resistance - especially after 1968 - with international campaigns, official statements, articulation for the Committee for Justice and Peace, claims from catholic pastoral groups, etc. The bishops, however, never built a monolithic block. This study considers the heterogeneity of the Catholic clergy and political specificities of each region during the military dictatorship in Brazil, suggesting that for every bishop, added to each local context and to the practice concept of the religious message, the weight of the union around his institution may be the explanatory axis for his position in order to bring new perspectives for qualitative analysis of political relations between the Catholic Church and the State in Brazil during the military dictatorship. The specific aim of this research is to investigate the political activity of the bishops of the Catholic Church in São Paulo state dioceses based in São Carlos and Assis. The results of the study are expected to respond to literature gaps on the subject, which until now have mainly focused in the progressive clergy, either in major population centers or in a national level.

The mathematical modelling in the perspective of mathematics education has achieved meaningful progress in the last years in relation to academic and scientific aspects, both nationally and internationally. Mathematics modelling may be considered a consolidated search field. This fact is evidenced considering the number of publications in scientific events, as well as magazines editions and books focused on mathematics education, which range from basic to higher education, as in colleges and universities. However, there are some indications that this mathematics modelling has faced weakness in terms of its application in classrooms of lower secondary levels. Based on this context, our research has investigated the obstacles and difficulties pointed out by recently graduated mathematics teachers of public colleges and universities in Paraná state. These professionals have studied Mathematics modelling during the graduation course, in the perspective of mathematics education, which is related to its application in classroom everyday activities. The methodological approach used to the survey data understanding was the Textual Analysis Discourse. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire sent via Google Docs to 57 newly qualified math teachers, up to two years after graduation. All these professionals were teaching at public schools of Paraná state basic education. Among these, 26 have answered the questionnaire. We have established four categories covering the main obstacles and difficulties, pointed out by the teachers, subjects of this research, regarding the use of modelling in classroom, which are: (i) teachers’ insecurity in using this methodology in their classes; (ii) poor initial teachers’ training; (iii) difficulties because of traditional and conservative approach of the school system; (iv) difficulties in inserting students in the Modelling environment. These categories have shown that all obstacles and difficulties indicated by teachers about the modelling approach are basically associated to three features of resistance regarding changes in pedagogical practices, which are: (i) personal-emotional aspect, (ii) professional competence aspect, and (iii) institutional aspect.

Interactions plants-frugivores are key components in the complexity of forest communities and their modifications or losses can have profound implications for conservation. The study of the interactions networks has proven an important tool in understanding how communities respond to human disturbance. The aim of this study was to analyze the interactions networks between plants and birds as fruit consumers in Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. The research was conducted in Carlos Botelho State Park (PECB) and addressed three environments with different types of vegetation (open area, and initial successional stages and advanced). The interactions record was performed by direct observation using methods of transect, focal and assistance traps cameras. We evaluated the frequency of visits, number of interactions, nesting and connectance. The network is represented by 63 kinds of birds and 30 species of plants and showed a nested pattern (NODF = 33.63, p = 0) with a connectance low (13%). 255 interactions were observed in 1151 records frugivory. The species that contributed most to the organization's network were also the most important for community maintenance and alien species present in one of the rooms did not interfere in the interactions between native species.

This research aims to analyze the relationship with regard to the knowledge that can be established by students of Basic Education while they are studying the elective course, of interdisciplinary nature: “From shacks to mansions.” In this discipline, the student has the opportunity to explain both the knowledge as the types of relationships established with diverse knowledge, including the extracurricular and school. The instruments used for the construction of the data were: 1- observation of classes developed in the context of elective 2 - records in the logbook of the researcher, 3 - semi-structured interviews with teachers who teach the discipline and students of basic education who attended the subject and 4 – questionnaires applied to students who participated in the discipline. The question that led the research was: “What relationships with knowledge are explained by the students of basic education whilst undertaking the Elective Course, entitled” “From Shacks to Mansions?”. In answering the question I considered the studies of Charlot (2000, 2001, 2005), with regard to the concept of knowing, as well as the research of Kanbach (2005), Barros (2010) and Pompey (2011) which deal with the subject. As a result, it can be said that the knowledge explained by learners does not necessarily address just the school contents. They prioritize and are related to the feelings and opinions that students have about: 1) what they will do in the discipline, 2) the construction of models, 3) interest in the profession, 4) the teaching used by teachers, 5) the treatment given to them by the teachers.

In this thesis we classify the isometric immersions f : Mm ^ Sm+p x R with m > 3 P < m — ^d c < 1, where Mm denotes a Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature equal to c. We obtain partial results on the classification of isometric immersions f : Mm ^ Hm+p x R with m > 3 P < m — ^d c < 0, We also characterize the hvpersurfaces f : M3 ^ Q4(c) for which there exists another isometric immersion f : M3 ^ L4, where Q4(c^d L4 denote a 4-dimensional space form of constant sectional curvature c and the 4-dimensional Lorentz space, respectively.
