Generally speaking, the evolution of organizational behavior has been analyzed almost exclusively from the economic and technological transformations point of view. According to this perspective, firms are transformed by market forces as they struggle to adapt to customers’ demands in order to become more competitive and to survive and thrive. This viewpoint neglects the influence of powerful interests institutionalized in society, which manifests themselves inside firms through the actuation of organizational elites. Based on the study of organizational elites and the power relations they establish we are able to achieve a better understanding of factors that determine organizational behavior. With the advent of continuous transformations to which companies have been submitted with the stated purpose of giving them greater flexibility in the face of increasingly competitive markets, the old static organizational structures began to give way to network organizations, more susceptible to restructuring in order to suit economic interests. This flexible organizational environment would require also flexible professionals, averse to excessive specialization, which could hinder them the freedom to move through the organizational network seeking for new opportunities. The changes associated with this flexibility discourse, in turn, may offer opportunities to favoring not declared interests of the organizational elites. In this sense, the subject of our study is how the flexibility discourse might be used instrumentally by organizational elites in their internal disputes for leading positions in companies. More to the point, the question that we propose to investigate is: ‘would it be possible to identify in the behavior of members of organizational elites some evidence of the usage of the flexibility discourse as a tool to compete for command positions within organizations?’ It is not our intention to answer that question categorically, but to advance in the understanding of this topic through a reflection based on theoretical and empirical evidence. In order to seek possible answers we have investigated the careers of business consultants who worked for a multinational consulting company operating in Brazil. We have found that having worked for a renowned business consulting company represents a significant shortcut for executive positions in organizations from several industries, especially if coupled with an MBA title by some prominent American or European business school. This can be taken as an evidence that the flexibility discourse is aligned to the interests of organizational elites, to the extent that it legitimizes their claims to rise to positions of power in organizations without going through the lengthy path required by the assimilation of specific knowledge of each type of activity or industry.

The Brazilian government has implemented policies and procedures that govern the actions of the society and entities own state in order to promote greater environmental awareness and actions that mitigate negative environmental impacts, such as the Environmental Agenda program in Public Administration (A3P). The adoption of an Environmental Management System (EMS) formalized by an educational institution can contribute to the awareness and the spread of the importance of environmental issues. The Campus Uberaba of Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Triângulo Mineiro (IFTM - Campus Uberaba) is an educational institution that seeks to establish an environmental management system. This study aimed to carry out an environmental diagnosis in IFTM - Campus Uberaba as a way to aid in the definition of social and environmental responsibility policies and the implementation of an EMS in the institution. Exploratory study was conducted in order to identify existing environmental standards to which the IFTM - Campus Uberaba is subject, as well as meet other voluntary environmental management practices by public institutions and / or higher education that could serve as a model for the institution. From the management reporting analysis, environmental control report, bidding notices, pedagogical projects of the courses offered by the institution, and also through direct observation, the main environmental aspects and impacts from campus´s processes and services have been identified, and existing environmental practices. It was verified that, over time, there was an intensification of government actions to mobilize their public institutions in the adoption of sustainability and environmental responsibility criteria. In IFTM - Campus Uberaba, environmental impacts information were identified on the physical, biotic and socioeconomic means and the action already present of a solid waste management project and a joint selective collection program. It was observed that the bidding notices practiced on campus do not include sustainability criteria in the procurement of materials and services and, for the discard practices of the institution, the legislation that deals with it has been obeyed. It was also observed that it is prevalent the use of virgin paper and disposable cups in the institution. As for the teaching practice it was found that the environmental issues, social and environmental responsibility and sustainable development are covered by most courses. The analysis of the survey of voluntary environmental management practices of some higher education institutions and other public institutions has observed that for the IFTM - Campus Uberaba assume its social and environmental responsibility are necessary several actions of its senior management to motivation and conviction of their community. From these findings it was concluded that the IFTM - Campus Uberaba may adopt changes and fixes in existing shares to fit the criteria and environmental requirements in voluntary standards, either by ISO 14001 or as the A3P, which should promote a management participatory, enhancing existing initiatives and involving the whole community.

This research presents an ethnography of care’s network. I describe the mode of operation of an intersectoral management for drug users, as from a fieldwork in public health equipment in São Bernardo do Campo (SP). The construction of networks for reception and support care (acolhimento e cuidado), appointment (encaminhamento) and treatment for this targeted public is the empirical question that guides this research. The ambiguous figure of drug user (both patient and defaulter) resonates in the public policies for this population. For this reason, the networks both care as well as enclose these subjects at the same time. The ethnography of network in the health sector explores the challenges and dilemmas that these intersectoral management apparatus evoke. I present the issues that revolve around the network’s organizational model that is formulated by standardization of policies and the universalization of principles, but in practical terms they are invented according to the occasions. I also raised the dilemmas of how workers throw themselves on the challenge of tying partnerships, doing maintenance, seeing the size of the network, tracking the movement of people, information and documents, and planning their growth in the territories. Such developments matches the dilemmas of an assistance project that aims to take care of people in freedom, accomplishing the democratic and humanistic precepts, but intends to monitor the movements and pursue many traces.

In this work, it was developed a procedure for the determination of metals in cosmetics, employing the techniques ICP OES, GF AAS, LIBS and LA-ICP OES; in addition, it was explored the potential of chemometric tools. For the determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu and Ni by ICP OES and Pb by GF AAS in eyeshadow and lipstick samples, it was developed a sample preparation method using diluted nitric acid and a hot block. For the optimization of chemical parameters of sample preparation and operating parameters of ICP OES, it was used factorial design and for data analysis and selection of the best working conditions, the desirability functions were employed. In total, it was analyzed 30 samples of cosmetics (21 eyeshadow and 9 lipstick), of different colors, brands and from different countries (Brazil, USA and China). These samples were analyzed in triplicate and with standard addition to perform the recovery calculations. The analyzed samples showed concentration of Cd and Pb within the limits set by the laws, however, 7 eyeshadow samples had concentration of Cr and Ni above than 5 g g-1. In the case of lipstick samples, all values were below this safe limit. All samples analyzed by ICP OES and GF AAS were also analyzed without sample pretreatment by LIBS. The values obtained in the quantitative analysis were employed in the development of supervised classification models such as the KNN and SIMCA. For the obtainment of these models, data of children´s cosmetics samples were included. The classes considered in the models were: below and above the legislation, with a limit set at 5 mg kg-1, according to the recommendations in the literature. In addition to analysis of eyeshadow and lipstick samples, it was explored the potential of the techniques LIBS and LA-ICP OES along with chemometric tools for exploratory analysis of sunscreen samples. The results were obtained for three different equipment (two LIBS and one LA-ICP OES), and several models employing principal component analysis (PCA) were generated. The signals profile of Al, Ni, Ti, and Zn were analyzed and the results obtained between the three equipment were similar.

The current educational policy postulates the inclusion of all children at regular schools, respecting their needs and peculiarities. However, such care is not always provided. Due to language access difficulties, the deaf students are excluded from the teachinglearning processes. It is extremely important to develop pedagogical practices focused at these individuals‟ needs. These initiatives should facilitate the acquisition and use of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) at school. Actions toward this goal became mandatory with the publication of the Brazilian Federal Decree 5.626/05. This study is articulated to a schooling program called Inclusive Bilingual Program, which conducts researches and follow-up actions as part of an inclusion program for deaf students at a regular school in São Carlos/SP. Its main focuses are to develop the bilingual education for deaf students and to insert Libras at school environment, applying appropriate methodologies and teaching practices. The aim of this work is to propose an evaluation system for deaf students written language analysis and follow-up, focused at Libras users. Three studies were carried out in order to create, test and apply the evaluation system proposed. The performance of each student was analyzed concerning their Portuguese Language registers. This study can contribute to the educational system, which needs instruments to evaluate its aims, actions and strategies for supporting the bilingual education of deaf people.

The electrochemical degradation of the herbicides tebuthiuron (TBT) and picloram (PCL) was carried out in a filter-press reactor using boron-doped diamond (BDD) or lead dioxide as anode, investigating the effect of current density (j), pH, and the addition of Cl– ions to the solution. For both anodes, solution pH had no significant effect on the removal process of the tested molecules or the solution organic load (COD and TOC); however, the process was quite dependent on j, except for COD, when mass transport limitation was observed. In terms of current efficiency and energy consumption, the most favorable condition was the one for the lowest tested value of j (10 mA cm–2). On the other hand, the addition of Cl– ions to the solution had a positive effect only on the degradation of the PCL molecule, with a significant influence of pH; the best performance was attained at pH 6, at which HOCl is the predominant active chlorine species. Regarding mineralization, the presence of Cl– ions had little influence on the process. Once again increased j values led to higher rates of organic load removal, but simultaneously diminishing the process efficiency and increasing its energy consumption. LC-MS/MS studies of the intermediates from the degradation of the TBT molecule showed that the initial degradation steps consist in the introduction of OH groups, followed by subsequent oxidation processes up to the removal of carbon atoms. In the presence of Cl– ions, chlorinated intermediates were observed. Comparing the tested anodes, despite their similar results on the removal of the herbicides’ molecules, the DDB one yielded significantly superior results with respect to COD and TOC removal.

This work was a study about students experiences and trajectories that entered at UNEMAT (Universidade do Estado do Mato Grosso) through PIIER (Programa de Integração e Inclusão Étnico-Racial). To achieve the goals aimed, it was risen information about: graduate quota students, active and dropout quota students, students who entered University by means of broad competition system, the meaning of the University, the reception of quota students, the relationship among quota students, non-quota students and professors from the perspective of policies adopted by UNEMAT, the mutual recognition and perception of identity construction and knowledge production. A comparative study of cases between two campi (Cáceres e Sinop) was adopted to concretize the research objectives. Documentary research, Survey and Qualitative Research were also done. The quantitative research (sample survey) and the qualitative research (in-depth interviews) reached 506 people. The results showed PIIER as an affirmative action program which has promoted equality, social justice and diversity at UNEMAT. It has positively impacted students life project reformulations. The presence of young or adult black students has pointed out that, while an historically racialized and marginalized group according to epistemological and cognitive justice point of view, they can instigate a set of cultural interrogations and challenges to the knowledge production which ones the university will have to deal with it.

This PhD thesis is an ethnography of policies made by the Indians in the Upper Rio Negro in two main areas: the indigenous movement and the Government’s municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas State, Brazil. The indigenous organized movement exists in the region since at least the 1970s. However, the debates about political parties politics and attempts to indigenous alliances aiming to hold office in the county, they have intensified only over the years 1990. In both cases some indigenous leaders took ahead the process with a certain way of speech and work, who often expressed the movement as a kind of "laboratory" for partisan politics. That is, there are so many points of intersection of these two spheres which cannot let us think of them as separated or independent in that context. On the other way round, the descriptions and analyzes of some narratives and political events of the upper Rio Negro that are presented in this work show how in these spaces the Indians dialogue, debate, fight and dispute among themselves, but also with two other key players: White people and State. In this sense, the thesis also reflects on the political processes of establishing an indigenous sociality from the state, when, in 2008, there were elected two Indians for mayor and vice-mayor positions in São Gabriel da Cachoeira. The plots, narratives, actions and evaluations of these processes underlie an argument in which the strongest language is on the transformation, instability and reversibility.

Vinasse is a waste of sugarcane industry and, due to the presence of organic matter and mineral nutrients, it has been used for the irrigation of the sugarcane crops. However, its composition limits such application due to soil salinization. The anaerobic fermentation of vinasse generates biogas that is used as energy source in the sugarcane industry itself. The fermented vinasse results in biodigested vinasse. The development of techniques for residue use can contribute to cleaner production systems. In this research, we evaluated treated conventional and biodigested vinasses for the growth of Chlorella vulgaris. The treatment consisted of filtering the vinasses through smectite clay and activated carbon, or centrifugation. Concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% of treated vinasses were tested. Cell density, absorbance at 570 nm, pH and electrolyte conductivity were quantified daily in a six day experiment. Based in cell density, specific growth rates were calculated. Growth rates higher than the controls were obtained in 60% conventional filtered vinasse and 10% conventional centrifuged one, as well as in 80% biodigested filtered vinasse and 20% biodigested centrifuged vinasse. In general, the filtered vinasse was superior in relation to the centrifuged one regarding higher residue concentration that supported microalgae growth. After microalgae acclimation we evaluated the photosynthetic performance of C. vulgaris in the best vinasses conditions and the biochemical composition of the biomass present in the vinasse, which besides the microalgae contained other microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, since it was not sterilized. Specific growth rate for C. vulgaris in 60% filtered conventional vinasse was 1.6 d-1 and 1.5 d-1 in the 80% filtered biodigested vinasse, representing increases of up to 84 x in cell density compared to the initial. In the LC Oligo control the growth rate was ~ 0.9 d-1 and in the BG11 it was 1,1 d-1. Although the better C. vulgaris growth in the treated vinasses, photosynthetic efficiency and its related parameters were better in the control than in the vinasses. These results together with those of chlorophyll a concentration suggest that the microalgae have possibly used a mixotrophic metabolism while in the vinasses. We observed higher biomass accumulation in the vinasses than in the controls. A reduction of total dissolved organic carbon and dissolved mineral elements up to 50%, as well as bacteria and fungi, were detected in the vinasse after microalgae growth. This study is a contribution to the knowledge of microalgae physiology in a residue and to the development of cleaner ethanol production system.

The thesis presented here aims to point to studies by sociologist Alberto Guerreiro Ramos about relationships (or hierarchies) race in the decades 1940- 50, demonstrating aspects (themes, methods, categories of analysis) developed in postcolonial studies. I follow an initial hypothesis that the writings of Guerreiro Ramos constitute black thought. So I will try to show how models that inspired the author - especially phenomenology and existentialism - were mobilized in the preparation of statements of very authentic and original way. However, the context in which he produced his study of race relations was the affirmation of a way of thinking which Guerreiro Ramos little or scarcely converged. He was taking notes and incorporating that knowledge came from the blackness of the African diaspora, the process of African decolonization and other foreign references as well as debates on Brazilian development. Keep that to the extent that these mergers happened he found it difficult to read a perspective that he himself does not seem to be fully aware, namely that he operated a locus of enunciation interstitial, constituting what Hall called decentered subject.

Bioactive glasses were developed by Hench in 1969, and are widely known to have the ability to rapidly form a chemical bond with hard and soft living tissues. Currently, these glasses have been used clinically as biomaterials that act in bone regeneration in dental and orthopedic applications. However, their use is still very limited due to their fragility and also the limited commercially available forms, such as powders and granules. Therefore, the development of processes that make possible their conformation in fibers and fabrics (meshes) is indeed promising and highly desired, as this new shape could significantly expand the usage spectrum of this excellent biomaterial. Thus, this project aimed to develop and improve the production of highly bioactive glass fibers by the downdrawing process, as well as optimize the production of unwoven fabrics and characterize them in relation to their physicochemical and biological properties. Therefore, a new bioactive glass composition previously developed at the Vitreous Materials Laboratory was used (LaMaV - UFSCar). This new bioactive glass presents a fast interaction with the body fluids to rapidly promote the healing process and reduced crystallization tendency for its processing into fibers, as crystal formation difficult or even impossible to obtain the same. The obtained results showed that this new bioactive glass composition is more suitable to undergo through working processes involving high temperatures than other currently known bioactive glasses, being then, possible to produce highly flexible fabrics and meshes by the downdrawing process. Concurrently, this new biomaterial presents similar physical-chemical and biological properties to gold standard bioglass 45S5, making this new biomaterial suitable for several applications aiming in situ tissue regeneration.

The present work is based on the literature related to the Bi2Se3 compound, which is present in current researches as a topological insulator and is also well known for thermoelectricity applications. In this work the electrochemical synthesis of a material containing Bi, Se and X (X = Cu, Fe or Co) was carried out searching for a composition of Bi and Se in accordance with the stoichiometry of Bi2Se3. The third element, X, was used in the electrodeposition baths considering the Bi2Se3 literature, which presents doping and interaction with other elements for this compound. The synthesis conditions were determined based on studies using cyclic voltammetry. The main material studied was the ternary compound containing Bi, Se and Cu. The films obtained were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. It was found out that baths containing sulfuric acid were adequate for obtaining films of Bi, Se and Cu but a bath containing glycerol and sodium citrate was necessary for including Fe on the material. Some magnetic properties of the films obtained were also studied and paramagnetic behaviour was observed for the samples.

Burn injuries represent a high risk of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In severe and deep injuries, the wound healing process is complex and requires the participation of different types of cells. Among the existing treatments, biomaterials and LLLT are highlighted for having properties that favor and stimulate the healing process. Thus, three studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of bacterial cellulose membranes in its pure state or enriched with lidocaine and LLLT (660 nm) in two different fluences (12.5J/cm2 and 25J/cm2) used independently or associated, on third-degree burns in rats. The burn was induced with an aluminum plate at 150°C, pressed onto the animal's back for 10 seconds. In the first study the action of bacterial cellulose membrane in its pure state and enriched with lidocaine, as biological dressings was evaluated. Therefore, the rats were divided in three experimental groups, CG (control group), MG (group treated with the pure bacterial cellulose membrane), and MLG (group treated with the bacterial cellulose membrane with lidocaine). The treated groups showed an advanced wound healing when compared to the control group. In the immunohystochemical analysis of COX-2, the treated groups showed a light immunoexpression, with the characteristics of repaired tissue. Thus, bacterial cellulose-based biological dressings were effective and provided a favorable environment for the development of the healing process. In the second study, the effects of LLLT with two different fluences (12.5J/cm2 and 25J/cm2) in three experimental groups, divided into CG (control group), LG12.5 (burning treated group 12.5 J/cm2) and LG25 (burn group treated with 25 J/cm2) were evaluated. The animals received laser application immediately after the induction of the lesion and the subsequent doses 2, 4, 6 and 8 days after the induction, at five different points, four on the edges of the wound and one in the central region. The LG25 had better results, with higher number of blood vessels, increased immunoexpression of VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and decreased immunoexpression of COX-2 (Cyclooxygenase-2) when compared to CG and GL12.5 groups. The LG12.5 showed the longest delay in the progression of the healing process, due to its intense inflammation and tissue fibrosis when compared to CG and LG25. In the third study the association of pure bacterial cellulose membrane and LLLT (660 nm, 25 J/cm2) was investigated. Four groups were evaluated, CG (control group), MG (burn group treated with pure bacterial cellulose membrane), LG (burn group treated with laser 25 J/cm2) and MG + L (burn group treated with bacterial cellulose membrane + LLLT). Histological findings demonstrated that the treated group showed better results in the healing process. The (GM + L) showed results similar to those found in the GL, evidencing the stimulatory effects of angiogenesis provided by the laser light. GM showed improvement in the healing process, indicating the proliferative phase. However, although LLLT presented the expected proinflam matory effects, which modulate the inflammatory phase and favor tissue regeneration, the isolated action of the bacterial cellulose membrane proved to be advantageous by presenting tissue characteristics, which are compatible with a more advanced phase of the healing process.

The term interculturality is increasingly in evidence in the studies focusing mainly on the educational, political, economic and social contexts. Therefore, also in the field of foreign language teaching and learning, there are many works based on intercultural issues (Byram, 2000; Fantini, 2000; Mendes, 2004). However, it is possible to identify different approaches, and one of them which often stands out in discussions of the area is related to intercultural (communicative) competence. In this work we aim to develop a reflection on the relationship between the terms communicative competence and interculturality, in order to understand the potential uses of the term intercultural (communicative) competence and its implications, and to identify possible referrals for understanding the term interculturality in context of language teaching and learning. This Applied Linguistics research is characterized as a bibliographical, interdisciplinary and qualitative-interpretative based study. Through this research, we could understand more deeply ideas as competence, intercultural (communicative) competence and interculturality, and we have critically approached the relationship that has been established between these terms in the field of foreign language teaching and learning, especially in the context of Portuguese as a foreign/ second language. We believe that the discussions that bring out the notion of interculturality are symptoms of a society that aims to build a common horizon, so that the otherness can have its free space of expression assured. We understand, therefore, that intercultural issues should not be restricted to the level of skills/ competences in the practice of foreign language teaching. Interculturality could be understood as an invitation to reflection and action committed to the difference and the (co)experiences that take place inside and outside the classroom; a kind of driving force able to assist and guide teachers in their pedagogical planning, in the approach adopted by them to develop the communicative competence of their students, as well as in their attempt to raise students' and the other agents' awareness in the learning process for a careful and respectful attitude towards the “other”.

La recherche visait à analyser dans quelle mesure les femmes insertion dans'S pêche professionnelle dans les changements Amazon et les influences de l'activité quotidienne des pêcheurs artisanaux de Barreirinha (Amazonas). Il a cherché à comprendre comment l'exercice de la pêche professionnelle interfère avec les dimensions matérielles et symboliques des relations entre les sexes au travail; dans les relations avec les instances organisatrices des pêcheurs; et, par rapport au bénéfice de l'assurance-chômage Fisherman Artisanal (PDSA). Nous émettons l'hypothèse que l'SDPA change les rôles sociaux, de fournir un avantage pour les pêcheurs artisanaux. La politique a conduit les femmes à se joindre à la colonie de pêcheurs (Z-45), afin d'avoir accès à la prestation, sans toutefois modifier les fondements de la famille de l'homme en tant que fournisseur. La méthodologie, nous avons choisi la recherche qualitative, dont les entretiens et la recherche du lieu d'observations directes ont été formés en techniques indispensables à connaître, audelà de la pratique de la pêche quotidienne, les relations entre les sexes et la démystification de mythe Panema, selon le que la femme apporterait un état de jeu, de se livrer à la pêche. Cependant, la recherche a conclu que la femme toujours pêché, et avec la mise en oeuvre de SDPA intérieure, à condition que la reconnaissance professionnelle conduisant elle à surmonter les mythes et prouver que, en même temps que la figure masculine peut être un pêcheuse professionnel et fournisseur de unité familiale.

The use of amorphous metals becomes a large market in the industry of micro-components and/or milimetric machine parts, presenting excellent magnetic and mechanical properties and high glass forming ability such as the recent developed iron based alloys in the [(FexCo1-x)0.75B0.2Si0.05]96Nb4 compositions, where x = 0.1-0.5 at.%. Wherever, these properties are reached when this material is processed by techniques that impose and maintain higher cooling rates (103-106 K/s), limiting factors in order to obtain amorphous parts with centimeters in dimension. In this study, the Fe43.2Co28.8B19.2Si4.8Nb4 alloy was processed by spray forming as an alternative route to obtain amorphous deposits with large sizes. The study conducted depositions onto rotating copper rollers generating a co-lamination condition, producing larger ribbons. In a second step, depositions in industrial scale were performed using preheated cylindrical and flat substrates moving longitudinally at various speeds, producing deposits with different thickness. In a third deposition, subsequent layers were deposited due the came and back longitudinal movement of the cylindrical substrate. The microstructure of all materials were evaluated by optical and scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The powders of all experiments and the spray-co-laminated ribbons presented fully amorphous microstructure. The first and second deposits exhibited a 1 to 2.5 mm thickness amorphous layer formed in direct contact with the substrate. The median/central regions (10 to 15 mm thickness) presented a mix of crystalline and amorphous phases or fully crystalline microstructure depending the thickness of the deposit. The third deposit was formed by ~10 layers with ~2 mm thickness each presenting fully amorphous or a mix of crystalline and amorphous phases. These results suggesting that this process is a promising potential for the production of amorphous alloys in large volumes and sizes, expanding the use of these materials.

The National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) of the 2002 Dentistry Undergraduate course are guidelines to be observed in curricular organization that must be necessarily adopted by all higher education institutions (HEI). The overall objective of this study was to analyze the pedagogical projects of the courses (PPC) Dental Public Universities of the State of São Paulo (SP) in the light of DCN. This research is qualitative. The study subjects were five dental courses of SP who had their PPC reformulated after the DCN. The first collection of information was through secondary data obtained from the PPS of each educational institution. The documentary analysis of PPC courses was held in the light of DCN for graduation in dentistry and PPC courses were analyzed using an array of analytical categories. The eight analytical categories used in the analysis of PPC were divided into two areas: 1. Professional profile (general profile, health care, health management and health education) and 2 Course structure (organization of the course, design of teaching learning, teaching methods and learning and assessment). The second source of information consisted of primary data collected through semi-structured interview with the five coordinators of the courses, defined as the study subjects. The semi- structured interviews were conducted in person with three coordinators and through Skype with two coordinators of the courses, and were composed of questions about PPC and student education from the perspective of DCN and acting for the NHS. Qualitative analysis of the interviews took place from the content analysis technique, thematic modality defined by Bardin. The analysis of PPC in the light of DCN demonstrated suitability in general, with some observations regarding verbatim parts of the DCN in PPC, not matching the reality of course, little detail in relation to health management at all PPC analyzed and teaching methodologies learning and assessment still on traditional modes of education in relation to the powers described in DCN.

The present study is linked to the Postgraduate Program in Education of UFSCar, under the research line Theories and Practice in School Education. The central theme of this study is the Theatre and Education. The object of the study has as references Theatre of the Oppressed’s working techniques, a theatrical teaching methodology created by Augusto Boal, who seeks to identify the injustices established in oppressed-oppressor’s relations and overcome them through Concrete and Continued Social Actions. Since it is a Library imprint of research, we look for material at dissertation’s bank and Capes’s Theses, who fieldworks were conducted in formal and non-formal learning environments who practices the Theater of the Oppressed methodology. We investigated these theses and dissertations understand the interpretation and the use they make of the Oppressed Theatre. We grouped the works in two (02) themes; School Education (representing formal learning environments) and Social Education Processes (representing informal learning environments). For the development of this research we used the content analysis technique, beyond the presentation of quantitative and qualitative data of theses and dissertations.

Brazil is the world’s second largest producer and exporter of bovine fresh meat, what in 2014 accounted for about US$23.31 billion in Gross Value of Production (GVP) in a market of US$62.97 billion per year, generating about 7 million jobs. The most evaluated parameters about meat, can be divided into physical-chemical like temperature (T), water activity (Aw), redox potential (Eh), hydrogen ion potential (pH), maturation or tenderization, cooking method and sensorial like color, softness, texture, juiciness and flavor - combination of aroma and taste. As 75% of muscle composition is water, in the muscle conversion into meat there is a release of 2 to 5% of this total water, due evaporation and exudation, characterizing a high Aw value. This obtained solution is rich in amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, sugars and although the vacuum packaging is considered an efficient way to preserve in natura chilled beef, a serious problem, known as blown pack may occur if microbial contamination is significant or not respect the cooling minimum temperature (4 ± 2 °C). Therefore, the reduction of microbial proliferation in food is necessary. The goal of this work was to use a coating based on chitosan at 1% (w/w) and glycerol at 0.5% (w/w) which can be applied to food protection, especially as edible films and coatings. In parallel, was evaluated the effects of extract (PEE) and propolis nanoparticles (PNs) on some bacterial genders commonly found in fresh meat in natura. The permeability of the film produced in this work, respectively to O2 and CO2 gases was 1.53 ± 0.73 • 10-15 g•m•(Pa•s•m2) -1 and 1.20 ± 0.06 • 10-12 g•m•(Pa•s•m2) -1, relatively larger, when compared to literature. This film has relatively high moisture content and low solubility, what is interesting for application in meat, because it keeps its barrier property and integrity, even under high humidity and possible high Aw. Regarding the color (Hue) of meat samples (Longissimus dorsi) used in this experiments, on the 7th day presented a small disadvantage of coated and vacuum samples relative to that were not vacuum. However, on the 14th day, brightness (Chroma) of the samples in this condition was better than the other samples and, there was no significant difference in color. Therefore, this condition yet can be considered more advantageous when we wish to extend the shelf life time. The coating developed in this work, improved water holding capacity (WHC) of meat samples, which helps the desired juiciness of the product. Besides that, this film inhibits the growth of enterobacteria, lactic acid bacteria (LABs) and total psychrotrophic, which certainly can increase the shelf life of the product. The used PEE has a relatively high phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. For all tested concentrations of PEE and PNs with all bacterial species, better results were obtained with PNs.

Brazil is characterized as an essentially urban country, because more than 80% of the population lives in cities. By the end of the 20 th century, the Brazilian cities, mainly the large and medium ones, started to face problems of difficult solution as a consequence of the overpopulation in the urban centers. Urban centers, which usually shelter the historical and cultural heritage of the city, in other words, its memory, today is constituted by run down areas, harboring slums, deteriorated buildings, decadent commerce, among other problems that intensify the deconstruction of this space. The Statute of the City serves to equip the municipal districts, so that these can develop and execute their urban policies assuring the right to the sustainable city, which involves, among others, the protection, preservation and recovery of the environment as well as of the historical, cultural and landscape heritage. The present study analyzes how the partnership involving the government, the private sector and the estate owners, interacting with each other, destined for the users and the community, can revert the process of degradation of the historical centers through the “Alegra Centro” program, currently on the way in the city of Santos. This study can still be a contribution to revitalization programs of port areas.
