This research proposes investigate the creative process of Secret of State (1998), by Antonieta Dias de Moraes (1915-1999) and aims to show traces of Brazilian military context in order to capture the ways of living and thinking of the society immersed in the violent period of dictatorship in Brazil. The memory of this time must be constantly remembered due to the enhancement of the democracy which we live now, even though dark reflexes of that regime persist in our society nowadays, more than 30 years later. Dominated by shadows in diverse sectors, Brazilian society have found a way of resistance in the arts, which produced artworks of different kinds over distinct strategies, either inside the country and, many times, out of it. In this case, those works were produced by political deportees who left their country by force or by choice, in order to continue their creations during the dictatorial regime. It was during the military dictatorship period, especially in the most violent moment of it – Médici’s government (1968-1974) –that the writer Antonieta Dias de Moraes represented social problems in the majority of her books, published firstly abroad and only afterwards in Brazil. Considered a classic of children’s literature, Secret of State tells about the participation of Tonico’s gang in São Paulo State Revolt of 1924, which began in the same state capital, led by mid-rank military officers and by Public Force. Their claim was to justice and the end of corruption. In the book,Tonico’s gang helped the army with bravery and perspicacity, providing a valuable contribution to the Revolt. Conceived during the dictatorial repression, this book describes a scenario where children pursued fairer living conditions, in which we may read, between the lines, the possibility of identification of the historical context (1924) and the period of repression and resistance lived by the nation (60’s and 70’s decades). Based on heterogeneous objects of research, composed by book manuscripts, drafts, copies, fragments, letters, newspaper clippings and illustrations, this research, thus, proposes to investigate the creative process of Secret of State. The methodology covers the initial identification of the objects, the making of a genetic critic dossier of the book’s composition and the analysis of the records left by the author in the different pieces that integrate her personal archive located in the historic farm Santa Eudóxia (São Carlos, São Paulo State). So, this work is an effort to create the minimum requirements for the comprehension of the book’s genesis and its representation of social reality. Added to the genetic analysis, some reflections are supplied by Bakhtin’s theory of language, which tells about the different voices present in a textual object. These voices are permeated by different styles and intentions, marked by their emerge in a certain social, political and economic context. Finally, this work concludes that Secret of State, written by Antonieta Dias de Moraes during the military dictatorship period, is a book that enriches the list of literary texts in which are recognizable the popular denouncement and discontentment, in addition to other marks that every authoritarian regime leaves in society, which are thematized by those who oppose the imposed order by the means of artistic language.

The complexity and interaction of environmental problems have directed the landscape structure studies, which emphasizes broad spatial scales related to ecological effects of spatial patterns of the ecosystems. Changes in the landscape result in the impairment of natural capital and ecosystem functions that regulate or modulate the goods and services provided to human wellbeing, supported by the properties and/or physical, biological or chemical processes that occur in natural systems. For understanding the trajectories of natural and anthropogenic processes of landscape, many studies have addressed the models based on land use and land cover dynamics, which reflect the potential of the landscape transformation and thus assess implications for environmental sustainability scenario to over time. Thus, this thesis aims to draw up scenarios and projections of landscape patterns resulting from the interaction society and nature, based on structural indicators of the municipality of San Carlos landscape, basing the discussion on changes in natural capital in sustainable capacity in provide ecosystem services.

Friction Spot Joining (FSpJ) is a prize-winning joining technique for hybrid metal-polymer composite structures. This master thesis was devised to investigate the feasibility of FSpJ of metal-composite structures with additional film interlayer. Friction spot joints of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 and carbon-fiberreinforced polyphenylene sulfide laminate composite with additional PPS film interlayer were successfully produced. The highest peak temperature achieved during the joining process was 417°C. DSC analysis demonstrated that the degree of crystallinity decreased for the composite (from 22% to 12%) and increased for the PPS film (from 7% to 27%) after joining. TGA analysis indicated that no extensive thermo-mechanical degradation induced by the joining process occurred. The main bonding mechanisms of FSp joint were identified as macro- and micro-mechanical interlocking, as well as adhesion forces. The process-related microstructural effects were evaluated and correlated to the local mechanical performance of the joining parts through micro and nanohardness. Further, mechanical grinding, sandblasting and plasma activation surface pre-treatments were performed on the composite part to enhance the adhesion between the joining parts. The generated surface features due to the surface pre-treatments were correlated to the mechanical performance of the joints. Sandblasted specimens showed the best mechanical performance among the surface pre-treatments used in this work. The lap shear strength of joints with interlayer (2703 ± 114 N up to 3069 ± 166 N) was up to 55% higher than the corresponding joints without film. The fatigue life of the joints with interlayer was 4 times longer in comparison with those without interlayer; superior fatigue strength was also observed. The durability of the joints was evaluated through hydrothermal accelerated aging; the maximum reduction in initial strength was 12.4% for 28 days of aging. Finally, the failure mechanisms of the joints were discussed, demonstrating a mixture of adhesivecohesive failure mode.

Mitochondrial dysfunctions caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) represent an important group of human pathologies. However, it is not possible to predict with accuracy the risk of a woman with mutant mtDNA to transmit her pathology to her descendants. This is mainly due to out limited understanding of the molecular basis of mitochondrial inheritance. Since development of a technology that enabled derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from in vitro culture of somatic cells, iPSCs have become an interesting model to study mitochondrial inheritance. Derivation of iPSCs from patients with pathogenic mtDNA mutations has revealed that the mutant load decreases through in vitro culture of iPSCs, suggesting the existence of a specific mechanism that eliminates mutant mtDNA in the germ line. Thus, the aim of this work was to use iPSCs derived from patients with mitochondrial disorders to investigate the existence of a mechanism that eliminates mtDNA molecules with pathogenic mutations. In this way, we used heteroplasmic fibroblasts harboring a point mutation A3243G in mtDNA causing mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS); heteroplasmic fibroblasts harboring a deletion in mtDNA causing Kearn-Sayre Syndrome (KSS) and homoplasmic fibroblasts containing only wild-type mtDNA (Control). The KSS lineage derivation resulted in iPSCs with low levels of mutant mtDNA (<0,1%), and the elimination of mutant molecules during the culture. The MELAS derivation resulted in iPSCs with high levels of mutant mtDNA (> 98%), and indication of mutant molecules elimination as well. However, unexpectedly, there was no reduction of mtDNA content in iPSCs compared to fibroblasts in all lineages. On contrary, mtDNA copy number increased in MELAS and KSS iPSCs, perhaps due to the high levels of mutations in the cells. No effect of Rapamycin (mitophagy inductor) treatment was detected on the yield of colony formation in MELAS iPSCs. Additionally, Rapamycin did not affect the mutation levels in MELAS iPSCS compared to untreated iPSCs. Finally, gene expression analysis of MELAS iPSCs provided evidences of an autophagic mechanism directed towards the mitochondrion.

Sodium batteries have a promising future owing to the low cost and abundance of sodium in nature. This growing interest has led to the quest for materials to optimize and improve the operation of these devices. Among the components of batteries, electrolyte plays a fundamental role in terms of current density and battery life. In this context, materials with NASICON structures are promising candidates for solid electrolytes because their crystalline structure with open channels promotes high ionic conductivity. Synthesizing NASICON materials by the glass-ceramic route offers several advantages such as easy manufacturing into desired shapes or sizes, low porosity and good microstructural control. Considering the abovementioned factors, the objective of this work was to synthesize and characterize glass-ceramics of the Na1+xAlxGe2-x(PO4)3 and Na1+yGe2SiyP3-yO12 systems for application as solid electrolytes in sodium-ion batteries. The results indicated that the addition of aluminum and silicon improved the glass-forming ability of NAGP and NGSP precursor glasses. Moreover, a thermal analysis revealed the tendency for NAGP precursor glasses to nucleate homogeneously. All the glass-ceramics heat-treated at the crystallization temperature of the precursor glasses (Tx), presented a NASICON structure. The electrical characterization of the glass-ceramics indicated that increasing the aluminum and silicon content enhanced the material’s ionic conductivity because it led to an increase in charge carrier density. To analyze the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and ionic conductivity, the most conductive compositions of each system (x = 0.8 and y = 0.8) were also crystallized in heat treatments at 800 and 900°C to improve the ionic conductivity.

As the main objective of the research, sense connections between social theories and methods of management of public security policies were created, having as study of locus the state policies of crime prevention in the city of Uberlândia in Minas Gerais. The implementation of these new policies in the provincial town had a different reality from where they were planned, the capital city of Belo Horizonte. In this context, as the specific objective of the research, the relationship between the history of city social control with the impact of these state security policies were studied. As an analytical deployment, this research has a theoretical review questioning bonds of social theories and international, national and state interventional programs in the dynamic city of Uberlandia. Regarding the articulation between the axes of qualified repression and social protection, the municipal field of study propiciated the descripition of the macro-implementation of public security policies and micro-social experiences of prevention policies against crime in the suburbs classified as risk areas. Through a comparative analysis the research used different methodological resources to get the desired results: crime statistics, documents of the CPI Drug Trafficking, regulatory manuals on public safety programs and crime prevention, minutes of network meetings, theses, dissertations and scientific articles, land registry cerificates; ethnographic observations on: the utilities and anti utilities markets in the use and trafficking of illegal drugs on the promotion of community networks, art networks, sports networks and workshops of crime prevention programs; and finally, interviews were conducted with residents and supra-local professionals from various locations. The results showed that in Uberlândia there were in some poor neighborhoods a primacy of the axis of qualified repression on the axis of social protection, with the expansion of specialized policing without including compatible employees connected to prevention programs. However, it is noteworthy that the social actions of these officials, although certain structural problems in many micro-social contexts also favored the extension of public services for the population of poor localities. Thus, Uberlandia has become a multifaceted research locus with experiences that moved between conservative and innovative actions, triggered by various individuals and social institutions with multiple motivations.

This PhD thesis starts from the observation of constructions with the verb dar in Brazilian Portuguese and it proposes an analysis and classification of these constructions. The analysis of all constructions found in corpus is systematic and consistent, based on Transformational Grammar (HARRIS, 1964) and on Lexicon-Grammar approach (GROSS, 1975; GROSS, 1981). Both theories adopt formal and experimental criteria to make reproducible the identification of base sentences and the classification of constructions with the verb dar. The classification was based on structural and syntactic properties, leading to four classes or categories: (i) full verb or distributional verb, from which 8 verbal senses could be identified; (ii) causative operator verb, whose constructions could be subclassified in 4 groups, depending on the semantic type of the predicative noun; (iii) the verb as a fixed element, in idioms or in proverbs; and (iv) support verb, which is selected by a predicative noun. The first part of this thesis analyzes the constructions with the verb dar as a full verb, as a causative operator verb and as a fixed verb. The second part of this thesis debribes the support verb constructions (SVC), which are formed by the support verb dar (Vsup) and the predicative noun (Npred). This description is extensive, considering all the occurrences in the corpus adopted and identifying the main formal, distributional and transformational SVC properties. These properties were described and formalized in a Lexicon-Grammar table, which is a binary matrix: each line corresponds to a lexical entry (Npred) and each column corresponds to a syntactic property of the construction. In the intersection between each line and each column, we sign “+” or “-”, respectively, if the property is verified or not. The third part of the thesis presents an automatic syntactic analysis of SVC, by using an approach based in dependency rules between its constituents. The rules are automatically generated from the L-G matrix data and, then, those rules are used by the parser in order to extract the dependency between the Npred and the Vsup. Thus, this work aims to advance the state of the art of the general verbal classification in Portuguese and Automatic Processing of Natural Languages, to contribute to the development of computational-lexical resources (the Lexicon-Grammar of nominal constructions) and with automatic parsing.

A major problem in the production of ceramic tiles for coating is the variation of tonality. The determination of their origin within the entire production process and to minimize its occurrence by the manufacturer is essential. In 2014 the production was 903.3 million square meters, with an estimate production for 2015 of 969.3 million square meters, which justifies studies of varying shades in production lines ceramic tiles. For the execution of this work, some variables will be fixed without any loss in accuracy of the results to be obtained, if only because some of them are already inherent in the product development flow: ink (formulation); type of glaze and engobe, decorating cylinder characteristics (type of silicone, incisions, cylinder size), basic design, set-up decoration equipment and operating condition. The variables studied were: Density and viscosity of silkscreen ink; Temperature of the ceramic carrier; Production speed; Cylinder pressure on the tile; Blade Pressure on the cylinder; Blade angle of attack and support surface humidity. It was observed that the variables density and viscosity; Decorating speed and variation of blade height on the cylinder are the variables that most affect the tone variation factor within a production. For the three cases studied, none of the incisions resulted in filling and form an ideal decorated dot regarding to the expected geometry and desired for an ideal decoration (spherical points or ellipse) in any of the tested variables. In all cases there is a maximum point reached by the variables studied, which gave a better discharge and consequently a better decoration. In each tone range studied there is a combination of variables which best accomplishes the deposition points on the enamel.

This work focuses on Brazilian independent cinema and the new paths cinematographers, specially the young ones, are following to make movies. The idea is to observe the new contemporary Brazilian cinema scene and some of its own characteristics, highlighting non traditional subsidezed funds, exhibition and distribution options on alternative channels, such as the internet, film clubs and festivals, as well as aesthetic aspects of its production. Their movies can be understood as peripheric as they may be found outside the scope that includes instutionalized cinema. So 'Cartão Postal' (Josinaldo Medeiros and Wagner Novais, 2011) will be our study case, since it is a movie that can be called peripheric and it is also fit in a specific genre of movie that has been produced on favelas, called cinema de periferia. This movie will be studied on its formal aesthetic dimension as well as on its production strategies, observing how it can fit into some of the main characteristics of this new Brazilian scene.

This research aims to investigate in what way the course of continuing education, and more specifically, the discussion in foruns gender conducted online and offered by the National Pact for Literacy in the Age One (PNAIC) / UFSCar contributes to building and reflection of teaching knowledge and literacy of Study advisors (OEs). The function of these advisors is to form literacy teachers for PNAIC, a project that aims to ensure that all children are fully literate by eight. The development of the research took place within the Distance Learning (EaD) in order to discuss about the interactions that occur in the forums offered in the Moodle platform for Advisors´ study. From this ample goal, the research questions were formulated, which consist of: a) How does the discussion forum that environment?; b) How the gender forum provides interaction, and construction of teaching knowledge ?; c) How do the training course and the forum contribute to the digital literacy? The research is guided by theoretical contributions focused on the discursive genre (BAKHTIN,1997; MARCUSCHI, 2002, 2008, 2010), the dialogism (BAKHTIN,1992; 2006), literacy (KLEIMAN, 2005; STREET, 2007; SOARES, 2000) and digital literacy (BUZATO, 2001, 2006; RIBEIRO, 2009; XAVIER, 2007). The research methodology is qualitative and the methodological procedures used include questionnaire analysis, and participant observation. The results suggest that the forum gender causes and encourages interaction between OEs; and apparently it allows for reflection and construction of teaching knowledge; Furthermore the course and the forum contribute to digital literacy, as it implies learning new ways of reading and writing mediated by technological tools, and provides the knowledge / learning of the virtual tool uses, for example, posts of activities and messages.

Before the great influence that the playfu has in the childhood by providing children to create, to experience new situations, to connect with their peers and to experience elements of culture, it was taken as na ally in education, especially in Young children education as part of many school practices. Thus, this work aimed to know and understand the processes of teaching and learning that occur in the relationships between children and between them and the teacher in the context of play in early childhood education. It also sought to identify how the toy is placed by the children at that time of the play and what roles are as signed by them to that object. We began conducting a literature search in databases and to support us about it, we conducted a theoretical research around topics such as childhood, children, early childhood education in Brazil and playfulness. Qualitative, the research took place with a group of 14 children, having a mean age of 3 years, enrolled in ‘Maternal II’ and their teacher at a public school in kindergarten in the city of Pederneiras - SP. With the approach of conducting research with children, the researcher conducted participant observation, tracking the moment of play that occurred on Fridays, the day the children took his toys to school. Recording the data collection field diaries used and performed the analysis with reference to the content analysis. At the end of the Field research 13 daily were written, one for each insert performed. The authors Who guided the data discussion were: Brougère, Borba, Corsaro, Freire, Rossetti-Ferreira, Sommerhalder; Alves, Carvalho, Kishimoto, Guimarães; Barbosa, Horn, Leontiev and others. The results show that in play children experienced processes of teaching and learning to strengthen the group interaction: knowing how to live and play with each other, lending, trading, deny the request to someone, teach new ways to play, meet other spaces, strengthen friendly relations. When interacting with the toys, children have shown that these objects were essential to their play, being used the way they are or processed according to the imagination or need for the play could occur. When they experience such processes of teaching and learning these children have shown that in the free play, they lived training experiences for life.

The education developed in the schools in the rural area, historically, has witnessed the ills and the neglect of the public power. The claims for having schools in the rural area can be observed in surveys such as Andrade (1993) and the question of to think the Brazilian education and the schools in accordance to the social reality has been placed in the agenda since the propositions of the representatives of the new school, with the Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova of 1932, though very little progress. After a long period of Civil- Military Dictatorship in Brazil and the opening for the political democratization, the social movements, before silenced, were able to reorganize and others were created, most claiming rights, including land reform, which in its essence also brought the problematic of the developed education in the rural schools of the country. Since to question the rural education to the appearance of the new propositions for an education for the field, whether they be field education or education in the field, we had educational policies created from the 2000's, the result of the debates and concessions in the face of these demands. Since 2001, we are studying this construction process of the policies and their relationship with the field schools, in this sense, arose the interest in analyzing the educational reality in the educational system of the city of Parauapebas/Pará and in Brazil, in the master, to understanding how has developed the rural or field education in this town from 2005 to 2010, in the period when the field research was carried out. As a methodology we chose the qualitative research, using of the following proceedings: bibliographical study, documentary and field research with the collection of materials and images, registering photos on some schools and applying semistructured interviews to five subjects, in exercise, that we believe are relevant to the understanding of our object: Department of education, Coordinator of the rural education Sector, Pedagogical Coordinator of the rural education Sector, representative of the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST), representative of the community in which is located the Escola da Pedagogia da Alternância, in addition we collect reports on teachers’ training and in the Escola Jorge Amado, known as Estação Conhecimento created by the Companhia Vale (CV) in one of its properties. As a result we can highlight that although some educational policies for the rural area have been created, still walking at a slow steps as its implementation in this location. The teacher training both in the sense of the valorization and the qualification need to advance, either in the socialization of knowledge historically built by the humanity, or by the historical appropriation of the peasant reality, walking towards the building of a society where the peasant working class and their children have the right to enjoy the benefits provided by the means of production of the society, of their work and of the technological progress. Regarding the schools taken to exemplify the rural schools, it is worth highlighting the importance of the collective construction of the educational process by the school community, as well as, we should observe and supervise private initiatives (such as those undertaken by the Companhia Vale) within the public education, her administration, educational policies and pedagogical training for fighting against privatization processes grounded in the agenda of the capitalist State.

Materials and processes used to manufacture executive aircraft interiors play an important role in aesthetic and competitive product differentiation, in a scenario where there is growing competition and pressures for more sustainable products. It has been observed that the selection of these materials and processes, in the early stages of product development, has introduced limited measures to reduce costs and environmental improvements in manufacturing, which is reflected in the scientific literature available. This research addresses procedures for materials and processes selection including these factors, as well as other customer and aeronautical design requirements, which requires specialized information and methods of analysis established for this approach of priorities. The aim was to evaluate the current materials and processes and identify new opportunities, looking for a strategy to improve the selection methodology, as a contribution to greater integration design - materials - processes. The main analytical tool used was Value Stream Mapping, associating concepts of lean manufacturing, design for manufacturing and assembly, ecodesign and product lifecycle. Mapping applied to case studies involving an item of furniture was suitable to draw closer environmental requirements and manufacturing prospecting activities, as well as selecting materials and processes. The research also explored solutions filed on patents and knowledge from other industrial sectors which were in line with the opportunities. One example is biopolymer solid panels reinforced with natural fibres, as substitutes for structural materials produced from non-renewable and toxic sources, which require adding resins to reinforce and close the honeycomb core. There was synergy between the possible solutions aimed at improving the economic performance and environmental sustainability of the product, such as ultraviolet radiation curable resins to finish the panels.

The presented research would like to understand the process of ill be teaching in the school context from the teacher’s perceptions. For this work context, we make explicit some of the tensions of post-modernity and related issues to the teaching profession, seeking relationships with professional malaise. It is a qualitative research, from the inseparable link between objectivity and subjectivity, considering that the subject cannot be quantified in their feelings and actions. For this research, we selected two primary state education schools in Sorocaba. They hold opposing positions, in other words satisfactory or unsatisfactory results, in the education human development index of São Paulo State Education (IDESP) 2014. Using fifteen semi-structured questionnaires and interviews, we have checked and organized some possible indicators of ill-being between the employees in the school context, composing a general overview of the subject. From the categorization and analysis, a data triangulation, between them and the specific literature, we realized explicit perceptions of teachers about the ill-being feature in the school context and their possible implications for the current demands, class organization and working conditions. Some issues related to the ill-be can stand out, such as the lack of motivation and student’s indiscipline, school violence, long working hours and the pressure caused by external evaluations. About experiences on uncomfortable situations, the teaches emphasize the abuse of students with the professionals and also point the class attribution in the beginning of the school year and school administration impositions as main cause of this malaise. Thus, according the categories: the teacher malaise in the classroom and the teacher discomfort with working conditions and school training, we underline these teacher’s feelings in the teaching and learning process management, the way how it reach them in their school attribution and their prospects facing the problem the continuing education at school.

Sin embargo, aunque nuestra exposición a un uso intenso de imágenes en las prácticas sociales pos-modernas que ocurren fuera de los muros de las escuelas, la sistematización con fines pedagógicos aún es insuficiente (OLIVEIRA, 2013), indicando la necesidad de investigaciones que se dediquen a los nuevos letramentos y que visen al perfeccionamiento de la capacidad de lectura de imágenes y otras semioses. Tras el hipótesis de que las actividades de lectura y producción de texto en sala de clase muchas veces no exploran de manera suficiente la interacción entre texto verbal y no-verbal, nuestro trabajo objetiva observar las formas de utilización de materiales paradidácticos en los años iniciales en escuela municipal de enseñanza, en el ámbito del Pacto Nacional por la Alfabetización en la Edad Cierta (PNAIC), con especial atención sobre la forma de dialogo que se construye entre texto verbal y no-verbal. Fundamentamos nuestra investigación en los llamados Estudios del letramento (KLEIMAN 1995, 2007; MARTINS, 2008) y en las teorías que abordan la relación de la imagen con la palabra (SIGNORI, 2014), utilizándonos también del Análisis Critica del Discurso de Fairclough (MEURER, 2015). La metodología de nuestro trabajo se compuso, de un lado, de investigación bibliográfica con profundización en las teorías mencionadas y, de otro, de estudio de caso de sesgo etnográfico (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 2012; ANDRÉ, 1995). Estamos inseridos en los presupuestos de la investigación de sesgo cualitativo, sin embargo, nuestro estudio también abarcó algunos elementos cuantitativos. Los resultados señalan la necesidad de un direccionamiento más adecuado para los libros infanto-juveniles en las salas de clase teniendo en cuenta el carácter humanizador de la literatura (CANDIDO, 1992), así como para la importancia de que sea realizado un trabajo con la multimodalidad, de manera a hacer que diferentes modalidades semióticas sean consideradas como productoras de sentido.

One of the most important aspects maize cultivation is the management of fertilization, in order to achieve maximum efficiency in the use of nutrients offered with fertilizers. Nitrogen (N) is the most required nutrient by maize. The source and the form of application of N can influence its use by the culture, since N is subject to important routes of loss, such as leaching, denitrification and, above all, volatilization. The fertilizer industry has invested in new manufacturing technologies, such as polymer-coated urea, which reduce the potential for loss and increase the efficiency of nutrient use by plants. The objective of this work was to compare conventional N fertilizers (common urea and ammonium sulphate) with an innovative source of N, provided with protective technology to minimize losses of the element, regarding the supply of N in topdressing fertilization to maize crop and the effects on plant biometry and soil fertility attributes. Conventional cultivation of maize, AG 8061 PRO 2 hybrid, took place in a dystrophic Oxisol, considering a high response to N and expected productivity of 8 to 10 t ha-1. The experiment was carried out under field conditions, in a completely randomized design, with 5 replicates and 4 treatments with N in the topdressing fertilization: T0 - control; T1 - ammonium sulfate; T2 - polymer-coated urea; T3 - common urea. At 150 days after planting, biometric evaluations of plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves above the ear, dry weight, productivity, weight per ear, and mass of a thousand grains were performed. Macro and micronutrients contents were determined on the diagnostic leaf for evaluation of the nutritional status of maize. At the end of the experiment, chemical analysis for soil fertility purposes, including N, was performed. The results were subjected to analysis of variance and, when significant by the F test (p<0.05), were evaluated by the Tukey test (p<0.05). The use of different sources of N did not influence the biometric and productivity parameters of the maize crop and the leaf contents of K, S and micronutrients. Leaf contents of N, Ca and, Mg were higher in maize plants fertilized with ammonium sulfate. Plants that received common urea showed higher P leaf levels. Leaf levels of P, K, S, Cu and Zn were insufficient, regardless of treatment. The N source did not cause changes in soil attributes, except for the Ca content and the cation exchange capacity, which were higher in the plots fertilized with common urea. Contrary to expectations, the N source did not cause changes in soil pH and residual N. Polymer-coated urea did not promote improvements in the biometric and productivity parameters of the maize crop and in the soil attributes, exhibiting performance similar to the conventional N fertilizers.

Through the last decades, forest remnants were widely converted in crops and pastures, but the reintroduction of native trees offers the perspective of forests ecosystems restoration. This study aimed to investigate the recolonization by birds in riparian restored and reference sites, evaluating the effects of vegetation structure on avifaunal functional categories. We estimated vegetation structure by grass cover, tree density, total basal area, crown depth, height and diameter at breast height of each individual. We classified bird species by diet, foraging strata, nest height, dependence of cavities for nesting and forest dependence. To assess which characteristics were influenced by vegetation structure, we conducted canonical correspondence analysis, using as independent variables the three first axis of principal component analysis of vegetation variables, respectively related to canopy height, crown depth and stratification. We recorded 53 bird species in 326 registers. The avifauna of reference sites were richest and more diverse in all bird taxonomic descriptors. Canopy height influenced avifauna in relation to diet, foraging strata and forest dependence, and combinations of these functional traits also were affected by canopy height and crown depth. Species related to most open sites were granivorous or generalists with low forest dependence. Understory bird species occurred mainly in intermediate stages of vegetation growth, presenting middle forest dependence and more restrict diet. Insetivorous birds with high forest dependence characterized reference sites, with tallest vegetation. Our results emphasized the importance of considering functional traits of bird species on planning and evaluating recolonization of restored sites by birds. Considering the effects of riparian vegetation structure on bird assemblages, we suggest that reintroduction of plant life-forms other than trees for restoration purposes can accelerate both bird taxonomic and functional diversity across recolonization process.

The English Language teacher education has undergone profound changes in recent years. A determining factor for these changes was the creation of the National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) by the National Council of Education of the Ministry of Education in order to underpin the development of the curricula of these courses. This research focuses on the analysis of the consequences in the implementation of the DCN for degree courses in language and literature, specifically English language teachers education courses in the process of reformulating their curricula in order to have them aligned to the determinations in the governmental document. For the verification of these consequences articles, dissertations and theses from 2003 (one year after the publication of DCN) to 2014 were analyzed. The chosen research methodology was the qualitative meta-analysis, which allows, with the use of systematic review, to objectively select the works to be analyzed in order to find answers to the research questions. Initially 163 works were selected and, after the systematic review, 12 of these remained for the final analysis. The analysis of these studies indicates that the English language teachers education scenario presents many challenges in the relationship between the proposals of the State and its practical application in the formulation and administration of the curriculum of English language teacher education courses.

We present results of Ambrosseti-Prodi type to quasilinear problems involving the p-Laplace operator. We consider the scalar case and a a problem with systems of equations. In the scalar case, we work with the conditions of Neumann and Dirichlet. In the problem involving system, we consider the condition og Dirichlet. In order to get the results we use the theory of Leray-Schauder degree and a priori estimates.
