The actual agricultural production system requires the use of chemicals such as pesticides and antimicrobials. These compounds, when reach aquatic environments, can cause serious environmental problems and affect target and non-target organisms such as microorganisms, that play key ecological functions to the ecosystem functioning. So, the objectives of this study were: (i) to evaluate the bactericidal action of oxytetracycline (OTC) and fungicide imazalil (IMZ) on bacterial ecological function of pesticide fipronil degradation; (II) evaluate the effect of oxytetracycline on density and aquatic bacterial diversity; (III) to monitor changes in bacterial dynamics in the presence of fipronil. Water was sampled in Beija-Flor Reservoir for mounting the experiments. Microcosms were prepared in triplicates for six different treatments: water; water and OTC; water and IMZ; water and fipronil; water, fipronil and OTC; water, fipronil and IMZ. The microcosms were kept in the dark at 21oC. Samples were collected at 1, 5, 10, 20, 45 and 70 days of incubation. It was determined the water pH, the dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN), OTC and fipronil concentrations. Water samples from the microcosms were also used for bacterial density analysis by epifluorescence microscopy and diversity by DGGE band profiles analysis. The presence of OTC alone and especially mixed with IMZ affects bacterial diversity, but does not cause significant effect on fipronil degradation, suggesting the existence of functional redundancy among the individuals that formed the bacterial community. The oxytetracycline, at certain concentrations, promotes a bacterial density decrease and diversity increase, probably by mediating the coexistence of species as a result of the growth control of the best competitive bacteria. Fipronil may cause bacterial density increase but, concerning its diversity, initially in the experiment, it was reduced, comparing with the control samples. However, after 70 days, the diversity was similar, suggesting that the community was reestablished, leading us to consider that the community was resilient to the impact caused by fipronil.

The study of juvenile offender’s interactions with mother, brother, and friend indicates which categories of social skills (assertiveness, self-control, conversation, and empathy) are established by shaping and modeling processes. Furthermore, it produces more evidences to the relationship between prosocial and antisocial behavior. This study aimed to describe a set of interlocking behavioral contingencies (IBCs) comprised by categories of social skills, which in turn contribute to legal measures outcomes. This study is made up by three independent chapters. The chapter 1. “Social skills of young offenders and at risk adolescents” discussed the social skills repertories as one of multiple factors of evaluation and intervention with adolescents. In summary, the outcomes indicated improvement on social skills categories, specially presented in home settings, the decrease of offending persistence, and lower evidences of the impact of social skills improvements on other adults and peers relationships. The chapter 2, named “Contributions of conceptual, descriptive and experimental metacontingencies studies to family interactions”, explored the metacontingency unit of analysis. Specifically, it discussed the interpersonal relationship patterns as behavioral products transmitted along family members. The last chapter, named “Identifying social skills repertoires in juvenile offenders´ interactions with relatives and friends: a metacontingencies analysis” aimed to describe IBCs that contribute to legal measures results. The participants were three families composed by a mother, a juvenile offender, and a brother without a history of delinquency. Self-reports instruments and interviews were used. The data analysis procedures were as follows: the development of IBCs coding system, establishing relationship between categories of IBCs and categories of social skills, and establishing relationship between categories of IBCs and categories of aggregate products. The results suggested that the participants, who achieved better scores on socials skills categories, also got engaged in conversation, support, negotiation, cooperation, and rules establishment interactions. Also they achieved some of the goals of legal measures (aggregate products).

The advent and popularization of the Internet has enabled the cultural convergence movement, creating numerous online communities as well as the consolidation of collective intelligence. Without being blocked by geographical barriers that once separated them, fans of today are much more active, organized and eager for content. Their voices can now be heard by the companies holding the canonicity of the stories on the internet, through protests on social networks and unofficial content building (fandom culture). Their reactions can influence and even change the original plots. This work aimed to study this phenomenon from the fans perspective and their participation in the evolution of the transmedia universe of Mass Effect games (2007-2012), from Bioware, through its unofficial productions such as fanfiction, specific actions through crowdfunding platforms and interactions via social networking communities like Facebook, in response to the end of game trilogy, which generated great dissatisfaction due to an expectation not fulfilled (from the perspective of those fans). It analyzed the narrative complexity of the work, and how this aspect influenced the relationship with the fans, culminating in this highly organized protest action against the ending, forcing the company holding the canon content to retract and change the ending of its work.

Trying to understand a process through which individuals are raised in certain skills and dispositions, "physical and moral states" that are required by society as a whole, but also by specified groups to which one belongs, I conducted a research about the formation of Catholic priests process. I tried to understand from the experience of the diocese of São Carlos / SP, which dynamic, actors and situations were involved in this process of socialization, through which are cultivated in seminarians a number of provisions that in the future will contribute to the exercise of their priestly ministry. This set of provisions that I call priestly habitus is unconsciously and sometimes deliberately instrumentalized by these social actors, both in the daily performance of their social roles and in the maintenance activity or achievement of social positions in the Catholic Church or even in other fields such as the academic one. The dynamics of such priestly habitus cultivation takes place in a broad context, larger than the boundaries of a seminary, covering a range of training situations arranged through an institutionalized itinerary experiences that culminates in ordination. Such a priestly itinerary - equipped with native significance through a structured vocational speech that reduces the importance of profane motivations in the admission at the seminary provides the trajectories of these actors with a purity of inclination that omits the possibility of other interests (less transcendental ones). Finally, I discuss how to some members of the Catholic clergy, to be a priest not as regarded in the official speeches, but in the daily practices is less of an inescapable fixed identity than a contingency identification activity, which is evoked or omitted by these social actors according to the nature of relations at stake.

Malaria is an acute febrile disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, being the species P. falciparum responsible for the most severe forms and deaths caused by the disease. These parasites have developed resistance to commonly used drugs and therefore there is a need to develop new antimalarial agents. Aryltetralone lignans are compounds that show antiplasmodial activity in vitro against P. falciparum, but its mechanism of action is still not fully understood. In this work, we postulate a plausible mode of action of some aryltetralone lignans and according to the obtained results we suggest modifications to the ligands for a better biological activity. In order to achieve our objectives we first performed a search for similar chemical compounds, for which their macromolecular targets were known. From the results obtained, P. falciparum tubulin was selected as a potential target for these lignans. Since there is no experimentally determined three-dimensional structure for this protein, we performed a molecular homology modeling of P. falciparum tubulin and the structure of bovine tubulin complexed with colchicine was selected as template. The analysis of the obtained model showed that the three dimensional structure of Plasmodium tubulin is conserved in relation to the bovine tubulin with some important substitutions occurring in the colchicine binding site region: Ala250B by Ser248B, Ala316B by Cys314B and Ile318B by Met316B. Then, molecular docking of the aryltetralone lignans, colchicine and podophyllotoxin was performed in the modeled P. falciparum tubulin. The docking calculations results allowed to conclude firstly that, although the amino acid substitutions in the binding site, the colchicine binding mode in the P. falciparum tubulin is exactly the same as that already described in the literature for bovine tubulin. As for podophyllotoxin, a different binding mode from that described in the literature for bovine tubulin was obtained due to the replacement of Ala250B by Ser248B and the Val318B by Met316B. For the aryltetralone lignans studied, three different binding modes were obtained: one exhibited by compounds 1, 2 and 3, another by 4 and 6, and a third one by 5. The lignans 1, 2 and 3 are oriented in a way so that the C ring containing the dimethoxy or methylenedioxy group is positioned in the same region obtained for the ring containing the trimethoxy group in the case of colchicine and podophyllotoxin, performing a C-H...π interaction with Leu246B. Lignans 4 and 6 orient themselves with the aromatic ring C between Ala180A and Leu246B and being held in this position by C-H...π interactions. Lignan 5 is oriented with the aromatic ring C between Leu246B and Leu253B, performing C-H...π interactions with these residues, in a similar way to what was obtained with colchicine in this site. So the likely mechanism of action of the aryltetralone lignans studied here would be their binding to the same colchicine binding site in the tubulin protein of P. falciparum and thereby interrupting the divisions and other cellular functions.

Context: A well-defined testing process is necessary to ensure that the required activities are conducted effectively, supported by maturity models such as TMMi. Even so, for this activities results have real impact on the quality and reliability of the produced artefacts, is fundamental manage the knowledge belonging to the involved individuals. In this context, Knowledge Management (KM) is essential to help software testing professionals acquire and disseminate individual and group expertise. However, existing KM approaches for software testing are still incipient and are driven by different key concepts, such as feedback, lessons learned and knowledge documents. Objective: This work investigates the applicability degree of KM approaches in a streamlined software testing process, from the point of view of professionals with experience in leadership and testing team management in Brazilian companies. Method: A literature search allowed us to identify three KM frameworks for software testing processes. Based on them, we devised their underlying KM processes, upon which we performed two evaluations by means of a critical, in-depth analysis and a survey. An additional investigation explored the combination of the three KM key concepts in a single KM approach for software testing. All evaluations relied on the opinion of experienced software testing professionals. Results: Our results indicate the most applicable KM process, among to the three addressed in our study, to support testing teams in their activities. Such process relies on the concept of feedback provided throughout the software testing lifecycle. Conclusion: Different key concepts applied in KM process leads to diverging opinions regarding their applicability, in the particular scenario of software testing. Combining such concepts into a single KM process may not yield a better solution, possibly due to the augmented complexity and required effort to manage knowledge within testing teams.

The aim of this work is to analyze the possibility and the apparent limit of the reflective-descriptive methodological access to the deepest layer of the constitution of time in Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology. If on one side, reflection presents a real possibility of the phenomenological description of consciousness by seeing and capturing in an objectifying way the acts and objects of consciousness, on the other hand, there seems to be at first glance a certain limit concerning the grasp of reflection because reflection can not capture the deepest sphere of the constitution of time as it picks up objects and acts of consciousness, so this original constituent sphere can never become an object. The price paid for making this ultimate constitutive sphere of time an object is falling into a return to infinity. The examination of this methodological issue will be conducted based on the analysis of three periods in which Husserl investigates this question, namely, in On the Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time (1893-1917); Bernau Manuscripts (1917-1918) and Manuscripts C (1929 to 1934). The thesis that is being defended here is that ever since his early writings about the theme of temporality, Husserl seeks to prepare an answer to the question concerning the methodological access to the deepest realm of time constitution; but it is particularly in his afterthought by formulating the notion of transzendentalphänomenologisierende Ich that Husserl dissolves once and for all the apparent "limit" or "puzzle" about the reflective-descriptive access to the ultimate sphere of time constitution. This resolution becomes possible because the phänomenologisierende Ich is here understood as the Ego which constitutes the time as well as the Ego that observes itself retrospectively in their ways of constituting, so that in this retrospective and constituent movement the transcendental life of consciousness is accessed and can then be captured descriptively in their deepest constituents layers.

Objective : To analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis cases in São Carlos / SP. Method : descriptive and ecological study of tuberculosis cases registered in the tb-web information system, between the years 2008 and 2013. Results: We identified 315 cases (addresses), and, of this total, 290 cases were geocoded, which corresponds to 92%. Most of these cases were male (n = 224; 70.89%), median age of 40 years and with the pulmonary clinical presentation predominant (n = 257; 81.33%). The distribution was not random or heterogeneous, representing specific areas of the municipality in epidemiological terms. Conclusion: The study showed that the city needs improvement with regard to aspects related to the management and planning of health services, strengthening the decentralization actions in relation to primary health care. In this sense, it is essential to increase the early detection and prevention actions, stimulating treatment adherence and active pursuit, contributing, consequently, to the improvement of tuberculosis patient’s care and their social environment.

This research is linked to the line "History, Philosophy and Sociology of Education" from the Doctoral degree in Education, Post-Graduation Program in Education (PPGE) in the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar).The work aimed to search the Protestant missionary action in the schooling of Guarani Kaiowá indigenous ethnic group schooling in Evangelical Mission Caiuá in the south of Mato Grosso. The work aimed to search the protestant missionary activity in the schooling of indigenous from the ethnic group Guarani-Kaiowá in the Evangelical Caiua Mission in the old south of Mato Grosso. It was chosen as chronological temporal cut, the initial period understood as the arrival time of the first Protestant missionaries to that region (1928), culminating with the migrations that were consolidated during the 1950s, through the Agricultural Colony of Dourados (CAND ) and the admission of respondents in the Mission. The theoretical - methodological support, to provide subsidies to the collection, analysis and text editing, counted on contributions from the history and researchers who dedicated to the topic in the field of Mato Grosso, among others. The research focused on the historical circumstances of creation and development of the Evangelical Mission Caiua; therefore, it was given priority as historic sources, documents and interviews with the Guarani-Kaiowá. The Evangelical Mission Caiua in conformity with the patterns of education and evangelization was used by Protestant missionaries as a proposal of civilization and, in some cases, turning the indigenous into laborers, followers of Protestantism and Protestant pastors.

This thesis describes the development of imprinted polymers for preconcentration of Se, Cd and U. The relevant factors to the FIA system and preconcentration were optimized by Doehlert matrix. Chapter I describes an atomically imprinted polymer synthesis for preconcentration of Se (0) and determination by HG-AAS. The method presents the following analytical features: linear range from 0.17 to 6.0 μg L-1 , limit of detection and quantification of 53 and 170 ng L-1 , respectively, of preconcentration factor of 232 and reading frequency analysis of 12 h-1 ; which were all applied in food samples. The accuracy was checked with certified reference material. Chapter II describes the synthesis of a hybrid imprinted polymer for uranium concentration and determination by UV-visible spectrophotometry. The polymer had adsorptive capacity of 1.55 mg g-1 , linear analytical range from 2.0 to 100.0 μg L -1 detection limit of 0.40 μg L-1 quantification limit of 1.25 μg L-1 , preconcentration factor of 97, concentration efficiency of 19.40 min-1 . The method was applied to water samples from rivers and lakes, with accuracy confirmed by alpha spectrometry. Finally, in Chapter III, a method for cadmium determination by TS-FF-AAS after preconcentration in imprinted polymer synthesized via bulk is proposed. The figures of merit were linear range 0.081 to 10 μg L-1 , detection and quantification limit of 24 and 81 ng L-1 , respectively. Preconcentration factor of 165 and frequency measures analyzes 25 h-1 . The method was applied in tea, hair, cigarette and jewelry samples. The accuracy was checked with certified reference material.

This thesis reports the development of multicomponent approaches directed to specific objectives: a) the discovery of new and efficient peptide-based catalyst for asymmetric transformations and b) the synthesis of (hetero)cyclic natural products-like compounds derived from organocatylic/multicomponent reaction sequences. Chapter 1 describes the utilization of the Ugi-4CR reaction for the development of new prolyl pseudo-peptides capable to act as aminocatalysts in asymmetric conjugate addition reactions. Thus, a series of pseudo-peptides having the generic sequences Pro-N-R1-AA-NHR3, being AA an amino acid and R1 and R3 either alkyl or amino acids, were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The prolyl pseudo-peptides were screened for their catalytic efficacy, most of them proving great efficiency and good to excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity in the asymmetric conjugate addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins. However, only moderate results were obtained in the asymmetric organocatalytic aldol reaction. A molecular modeling and NMR study were performed for catalysts 67 and 69, aiming to understand their different organocatalytic behavior based on the conformational features. A similar multicomponent process followed by a polymerization step was developed to obtain two new polyfurfuryl alcohol polymers bearing the prolyl pseudo-peptide motif anchored to polymer chain. The prolyl peptide-containing polymers were utilized in the heterogeneous organocatalytic conjugate addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins under bath and flow conditions, producing Michael adducts in moderate yield and enantioselectivity but in excellent diastereoselectivity. Chapter 2 describes the development of new reaction sequences based on consecutive organocatalytic and multicomponent reactions. Several aminocatalytic conjugate addition procedures were implemented to prepare chiral hemiacetals, which were next used in varied Ugi-type multicomponent reactions. These sequences include: a) the Michael addition of nitroethanol to , -unsaturated aldehydes followed by an Ugi reaction leading to cyclic depsipeptide mimics; b) the Michael addition of 1,3-cycloalkanediones to , -unsaturated aldehydes followed by a new stereoselective Ugi-Smiles-type reaction leading to hexahydroquinolin-6-ones; and c) the Michael addition of aldehydes to phenolic nitroolefins followed a new type of multicomponent reaction, leading to pentasubstituted cyclopentenes. The success of these sequences proved the potential of combining organocatalytic asymmetric transformations with follow-up multicomponent reactions for accessing natural product-like cyclic compounds.

The search for new technologies more efficient and environmentally sustainable, triggered the search for new materials and synthesis routes that present a low economic and energy impact. In this context, potassium and strontium niobate (KSr2Nb5O15) tetragonal tungsten bronze structure (type-TTB) was doped with La+3 and Ti+4 ions, with the aim of improving the structural and electrical properties and understand the structural effects on the dielectric properties of the structure host. Ceramics with stoichiometry KSr2Nb5O15 and K1+xSr2- 2xLaxNb5O15, K1+4xSr2-1.5xTixNb5-xO15 and K1+2xSr2-2xLaxNb5-xTixO15 (x = 0.05; 0.10 e 0.15) were synthesized using the Pechini method maintaining a molar ratio of citric acid:metal 4:1, mass ratio citric acid:ethylene glycol 60:40. The parameters of time and calcining temperature were optimized in order to obtain powders with high crystal domain crystallographic coherency. The powders were uniaxially and isostatically pressed and sintered in order to obtain dense ceramic bodies for electrical measurements. The ceramic bodies were characterized by morphological, structural and electrical analysis. The presence of La+3 and Ti+4 ions in octahedral led to changes in the network, and morphology of the host structure resulting in different dielectric behavior. The higher dielectric constant value was observed for the host structure KSr2Nb5O15. The dielectric behavior observed for solid solutions K1+xSr2-2xLaxNb5O15, K1+4xSr2-1.5xTixNb5-xO15 and K1+2xSr2-2xLaxNb5-xTixO15 (x = 0.05; 0.10 e 0.15) was attributed to growth abnormal grain in the ceramic body, structural modulations, occupation of octahedral sites and distortions of the octahedral host structure.

The Atlantic Forest is considered hotspot for biodiversity conservation, due to its high biological diversity, high endemism and high threat of degradation. This scenario has raised concern about finding information to support recovery projects of degraded areas. This study aimed to evaluate the growth, coverage percentage in the soil and the survival of species of the Atlantic Forest, from the planting seedlings in different treatments, present in a particular area in the recovery process, in the region Vale do Ribeira, located in Sete Barras, Brazil. In 2004, the owner made the removal of vegetation for grazing deployment with brachiaria. In 2009, UFSCar was sought to implement the project of "experimental recovery of degraded areas" where seedlings were planted, divided into spacing of 1.5 x 2 m (dense treatment) and 3 x 2 m (conventional treatment). In this study, from July 2013 was carried out monitoring of the area to assess the growth and survival of planted seedlings as well as the percentage of shading and grasses. Five surveys were conducted (July 2013, October 2013, January 2014, April 2014 and July 2014) to evaluate the survival and growth (height, stem diameter and crown diameter) of the seedlings. 30 months after planting, the 220 individuals initially raised in this study, the survival was 85.2% in the dense treatment and 84.8% in the conventional treatment, so mortality was around 15% for both treatments. The species with the highest average growth in height were Croton floribundus, Cytharexyllum solanaceum, Casearia gossypiosperma, Croton urucurana, Colubrina glandulosa, Lafoensia pacari, Inga marginata e Myrsine guianensis. The species with the highest average growth in stem diameter were Acnistus arborescens, Croton urucurana, Apeiba tibourbou, Croton floribundus, Inga marginata, Campomanesia xanthocarpa, Colubrina glandulosa and Lafoensia pacari. The species with the highest average growth in crown diameter were Croton urucurana, Croton floribundus, Cytharexyllum solanaceum, Acacia polyphyla, Colubrina glandulosa, Inga marginata, Lafoensia pacari and Rhamnidium elaeocarpum. As for the percentage coverage in the soil and grasses, there was significant difference in the dense and conventional treatment compared to witness. It is concluded that the above species are indicated for use in future restoration projects in areas of Rain Forest. Both treatments showed greatest shading (in comparison with witness) at the end of the monitoring period, thereby enabling a reduction of exotic grasses. However, in dense treatment was no shading and greater control of grasses. Thus, it can be concluded that at higher cost of implementation and the similar results, the dense treatment was not recommended thickened in the region.

This study aimed to understand facts arising from educational processes applied to the teaching of Physical Education at the level of Basic Education, established by agents of different generations and mediated by resources of the new technology. The systematic analysis of the phenomenon permeated the understanding of factors related to the level of perception about the technology object of teachers classified as Immigrants and Digital Natives in the first instance; for later verification of the concerted relationship between the concreteness of the perceptible level expressed by the teacher and the appropriation of technological tools in teaching and learning processes in which they act. Based in a referential qualitative research, the methodology used for the range of explanations about this theme connected the instruments of data collection: structured questionnaire; interviews by guidelines class observations and filmings. The application of research understood two moments, as follows: a diagnostic exploration of the above dimension in the context of the totality of individuals who constitute the population of research, formed by Physical Education teachers effectives in a municipal school system of a municipal district of Northwest Paulista, and therefore, extensive analysis in details of vision and respective practice of teachers of both generational categories, and distinct levels of perception about the New Technologies of Information and Communication, the pedagogical approach mediated by technological resources applied to Physical Education at school. In this context was verified that those involved in the processes of appropriation of technological resources and applied together the learners are influenced to a greater extent by the level of perception maintained by the individual with the technological object, therefore, not justified necessarily the generational dimension of the teacher. This way, the adequation of significant educational proposals with the use of the New Technologies of Information and Communication remits to the perception and respective critically appropriation of technology in personal and professional daily use. In the end, about the interaction processes objectified in constructing of new knowledge, the potential didactic and conceptual gaps resulting from pedagogical actions mediated by technological resources in educational practices observed tend to be minimized by reflective communicative actions, directed to the dialogue between the educator agents, educating and technological object.

This research aims to analyze and discuss mediating activities that use Art in Childhood Education as a way to promote the development of the Higher Psychical Functions. The research was led by the following question: What role Art plays in children formation during Childhood Education? Both theoretical and methodological references were based on the Historical-Cultural Theory because it makes possible a conception of the human cultural development that sets Art as a human production; a space for social reflection and social internalization. Interviews with seven teachers from the municipal childhood education system and some pedagogical practices observations were used as methodological instruments. Led by this methodology, the analysis shows that both students and teachers have a very limited access to Art; it also shows that the teachers’ formation does not make Art a priority and, even though it occupies a very important place in class planning, it is still not considered an instrument for the catharsis. By going deeper in the analysis about the relations performed by teachers using Art in Childhood Education and the development of Higher Psychical Functions on children the study faced some ambiguous and sometimes contradictory situations. The activities suggested to the children, although undeniable creative, sometimes came to be fragmented and very poor to the goals of children’s development. However we were able to show in the research some actions that can be considered positive in the development of Higher Psychical Functions on children, contributing for a necessary reflection about the work with Art in Childhood Education, always led by the Historical-Cultural Theory, and promoting some interventions to improve the Higher Psychical Functions on children.

The majority of the population and the number of the voters are woman, which since the nineties have been gradually inserted in the politician universe. Therefore, known and understand the female political participation and representation is fundamental. In order to have this understanding, this research investigated the performance of the women that can be elected to the office of Congresswoman by the political parties PT, PSDB, PMDB and DEM/PFL between the 50th and the 54th legislature, among 1994 and 2010. Our goal were to identify if the political parties could affect the eligible potential and propositional of the Brazilian legislature women. With this methodology, we aimed to answer two hypothesis. The first verified if man and woman have similarities between their socio-economic profiles and regarding their politician characteristics, suchlike time of stay in political legends and history, looking for family ties, social movements or participation in the foundation of the political party. The second hypothesis investigated if the propositional behavior of man and woman have similarities. The data which allowed the conclusions were collected based on information available in the site of the House of Representatives. The propositions and law projects were analyzed based on an adaptation of the methodology model and categorical of FEITOSA and MIGUEL (2009) being Soft, Middle and Hard the categories. The founded results were compared in relation of gender and the political parties. Some results pointed that the politician profile of woman on PT present less dependency of family capital to be elected that woman of the others political parties. The most relevant factor regarding the founded behavior is the fact that woman started to insert relatives in the politician, reverse path to the common. Respecting to the propositions and law projects we perceived that woman with just longer trajectories can the fact propose more projects with Hard themes, which will promote big scale changes as the case of reforms.

The penaeid shrimp (Crustacea, Decapoda, Penaeidae) are the most economically fishing resource of the greatest global importance both for fisheries and the aquaculture industry. Shrimp fishing is one of the pillars of national economy in Mozambique, where they provide around USD 80,000,000 per year in export earnings. In recent years there has been observing a reduction in the shrimp fishery industry probably due the over-exploitation or due the presence of other shrimp species that were not been observed on the coast Mozambique before which may competing for the ecological niche. Despite the great fishing economic importance of penaeid shrimps in Mozambique, there is no genetic scientific literature available thus far on their genetic characteristics. Therefore, this is the first work addressing the genetic diversity of penaeids species of greatest economic value from Mozambique coast F. indicus and M. monoceros, for the first time shrimp from this coast were identified using DNA Barcoding tool. In addition, for the first time sequences of penaeid shrimp from Mozambique coast were deposited in GenBank and Bold system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of the species F. indicus and M. monoceros, and identify nine species of penaeids from the Mozambican coast. To assess the genetic diversity and structure of F. indicus and M. monoceros, 160 samples were collected along the Mozambique coast. Three mitochondrial genes (COI, Cyt b, and the control region D-loop) were analyzed. A great genetic diversity was observed, however, the D-loop presented higher values (F. indicus: Hd = 1, h = 13; Hi = 0.0133, M. monoceros Hd = 0,99; H-24; and Hi = 0.0092). D-loop showed unique haplotypes; the Tajima D test and Fu Fs values were negative and significant for the COI and Cyt b genes. The mismatch distribution curves suggested that the two espéceis undergone to a recent population expansion (10.397 to 28.418) years ago F. indicus and M. monoceros respectively. The AMOVA analysis showed that over 99% of the variation occurs within populations. The Fst Pairwise values pointed to a non structured population. The nature of ocean currents along the Mozambique channel as well as the complete absence of physical and / or environmental barriers may be the main factors that influence the non structure of these two species. To identify shrimp penaeids from Mozambique based on DNA barcondig, a total of 69 samples were collected in the Maputo Bay. The genetic distance tree grouped six species into two clades as to the place of origin, suggesting the presence of cryptic species. The intraspecific genetic distance ranged from (0 to 8.636) and interspecific distance from (3.897 to 21.558). The distance distribution analysis 10 of the nearest neighbor ranged from (3.897-18.971). The DNA Barcoding identification tool was efficient to identify the Penaeid species from mozambican coast. However the presence of cryptic species pointed the need for further studies which must be conducted using molecular analyzes; morphological taxonomy and the ecological treats to evaluate each of the sibling species to reach a correct decision of the taxonomic status.

This dissertation submits a socio-environmental diagnostic of fisher s traditional community from Superagui, located in Superagui National Park, northern coast so Paraná. It was highlighted through theoretical searching the environmental impacts caused by anthropic activities related to both biotic and abiotic resources extracting, disorganized occupation over coastal and marine zones. It was utilized participative methodologies, qualitative and quantitative semi-structured questionnaires as well as direct observation and informal reports on field research. The results obtained from this research reveals internal reports on field research. The results obtained from this research reveals internal conflicts around the group researched as a result of individualist behaviors, lack of engagement and cooperativism. All these factors obstruct the group organization of seeking the group researched as a result of individualist behaviors, lack of engagement and cooperatives’. All these factors obstruct group organization among the legal institutions responsible for the mosaic of conservation areas over Parana coastline. At the end of this research it is advocated that the Agroecology and organic production national project ( PLONAPO), with its directives, targets and objectives perfect fit in the current configurations of this territory which may be incorporated by the legal institution as a federal legislation, offering a new rural and local development model to the social actors. The results obtained prove the hypothesis there is a lack of integration of the legal institutions and internal group disputes where the social actors are unable to organize themselves and seek for collective actions. The lack of engagement and organization to the claiming for their territory was evidenced. These internal and external pressures are hidden due to the fishing decreasing on the expectation of the management plan implementation and the search for other activities which could generate tourism income.

This work consists in a thesis and is intended to contribute to the educational system and the theoretical and practical advancement that interfaces between the two concepts, with support from the “dialogue” category. The researcher makes use of authors specialized in areas such as law and education to present reflections on the dialogical approach among them. Supported by the methodology of content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011), based on bibliographic research, seeks to demonstrate that progress toward better relations in school is more promising when it takes the path of dialogue. Thereby, adopts Freire’s theory as the theoretical reference of the study. The thesis is entitled “Analysis of Brazilian articles on indiscipline, violence and offenses at school: SciELO base 1998-2014”, because it identifies the actual reality inside the schools and the scholar community, that is exposed daily in the media. The question that is proposing to investigate is: what are the literature contributions that address the relationship between offense and indiscipline in schools, highlighting the mediation of the dialogue category? The aim of the research is to indicate literature contributions to address the relationship between offense and indiscipline in schools, by mediating the dialogue category. To do so, it was necessary to focus on the concepts of indiscipline, offenses and dialogues in school; highlighting, based on some of Freire’s works, concepts that contribute to the dialogic approach of the conflicts in schools; analyzing papers published in Brazilian journals of reference about the relationship established between indiscipline and offenses.
