This work is formed by the development and implementation of an Educational Product, which by means of a didactic sequence (DS), aimed to address geocentrism, heliocentrism and universal gravitation topics in a less classical approach, bringing diversified methodologies and didactic resources. In addition, we aimed to benefit the learning of students engaged in the use of the DS “Solar System Movements” by the teacher-researcher, as well as by other professors who, someway, use the activities proposed in this Educational Product in their classes. In this term paper, we presented an introduction to the developed study and an accurate theoretical exposition on the development of Geocentric and Heliocentric models up to the arrival of Newton´s Universal Gravitation; we discussed about theoretical-methodological basis considered in DS activities planning, which are mainly based on the didactic drawings principles described by Méheut and Psillos: Epistemological principles (applying History of Sciences (HS) in teaching); cognitive psychology principles (learning from prior knowledge and as an evolution of mental models); didactic principles (learning by modelling, the HS application in teaching and pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)) and sociocultural principles (an interactive and joint work between teachers and students and pedagogical use of ICT). We also presented context, a report on the implementation of the Educational Product as part of an elective subject of Full-time High School and considerations on the entire progress of this Master thesis, as well as the professor, students’ and support materials for the use of DS.

Adaptive systems are able to adapt themselves according to changes in its execution environment or the user's needs. Monitors are essential for the development of such systems because they are responsible for collecting and pre-processing the context data. By a search in systems found in repositories and literature, it was observed that monitors are sometimes designed and implemented in an inappropriate way, exhibiting the following characteristics: i) they are Obscure in the source code; ii) they have a unique monitoring rate and iii) they are forced to have a pre-determined execution order. These characteristics lead to difficulties in maintenance, evolution and often problems related to performance. Design decisions that lead to these difficulties can be characterized as architectural smells. The documentation of smells helps developers identifying refactoring opportunities of a system and also highlights practices that should be analyzed during the design and development of new systems. Therefore, this master thesis proses two architectural smells for adaptive systems: the Obscure Monitor and Oppressed Monitors. The first occurs when the monitors are not evident in the system and the second occurs when the monitors are subject to the same monitoring rate and have a strict execution order. In order to check the influence of the presence of theses smells five maintenance activities were applied in two versions of a system called PhoneAdapter, the original version with the presence of the smells and the refactored one in which the smells were removed. The results indicate that the maintenance and evolution of the refactored system are facilitated in most activities.

The companies today are looking for ways to expand their competitive advantages, optimizing their production, and in this context, they found solutions in activities of production scheduling. The production scheduling of the type job-shop, results in one of the most complex problems of combination, the Job-shop Scheduling Problem (JSP), which deterministic resolution is not feasible in polynomial computational time. The Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is a classic extension of the JSP and has been widely reported in the literature. Thus, optimization algorithms have been developed and evaluated in the last decades, in order to provide more efficient production planning, with emphasis to artificial intelligence algorithms of the swarm type, that the latest research presented favorable results. The FJSP allows an operation to be processed for any machine arising from a set of machines along different routes. This problem is commonly dismembered into two sub-problems, the assignment of machines for operations, which is called routing, and operation scheduling. In the FJSP context, this research presents the resolution of the FJSP multi-objective, using a hierarchical approach that divides the problem into two subproblems, being the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), responsible for resolving the routing sub-problem, and tasking three local search algorithms, Random Restart Hill Climbing (RRHC), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search (TS), for the resolution of scheduling sub-problem. The implementation of the proposed algorithm has new strategies in the population initialization, displacement of particles, stochastic allocation of operations, and management of scenarios partially flexible. Experimental results using technical benchmarks problems are conducted, and proved the effectiveness of the hybridization, and the advantage of RRHC algorithm compared to others in the resolution of the scheduling subproblem.

This research aimed to understand how the institutions and state operators’ crime control are being affected by the emergence of new forms of organization of the "world of crime." It wondered how the institutions and operators find themselves affected by the emergence of the First Command of the Capital, the PCC; which the impact on their work, on the ways to exercise control and institutional management of the crime; which representations they elaborate about the changes in the contexts they operate and develop their professional activities. Therefore, it started analyzing two empirical cases that took place in São Paulo, involving the PCC and the so-‐‑called "debate" -‐‑ a new management mechanism of violence brought from the consolidation of the CPC in and out of the São Paulo prison system. The cases also help to identify two main strategies to crime control in São Paulo: i) a militarized control guided mainly by lethal and selective fighting with alleged criminals, played by the Military Police and; a classic judicial control, in which the logic of the investigation remains linked to archaic model of the police investigation and prioritizes incarceration for certain types of crimes and people, while holding the low levels of punishment for cases of police lethality. Part of the field work was conducted through interviews with civil and military police, sheriffs, prosecutors and judges who work in crime control, including the Special Group Against Organized Crime of the Prosecutor's Office (GAECO). It was developed a research based on official data on crime and on investments in public safety in order to observe trends, preferences and policy choices of area managers in the last decade. The results indicate that the emergence of the PCC has affected the crime control strategies performed by each of these institutions, although continuities have been observed. The PCC started seen as "organized crime", sign often claimed to justify violent and lethal actions in alleged confrontations. Investigations involving the PCC have been recurrently conducted through a partnership between prosecutors and military police, often rather of the judicial police, which has generated tensions between the institutions and their operators. The Civil Police, in its turn, operates with the coexistence of "inquisitorial logic" of investigation and effort to operates the transformations that the emergence of "organized crime" has imposed, besides seeking to circumvent the arising obstacles "scrapping" of institution.

Embracement, Comanagement and Institutional Support are three concepts arisen while the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) was being developed, more than a decade ago. These concepts take part in guidelines of policies implemented by the Brazilian Health Department as well as in some of the routines of managers and health workers. The National Policy for Humanization – PNH (2003), a pioneer method regarding Institutional Support – and the National Policy of Primary Health Care (2012) – have both embraced in their official guidelines these technologies that are the expression of a wish to transform the dominant models that organize both management and health production. In view of the transforming power inherent to these devices, we have carried out a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach. This case study intends to analyze conceptions and routines produced by municipal managers and Primary Health Care workers taking part in the Program for Improvement of Access and Quality (PMAQ) and the institutional support group that was created in 2012, in a municipality of the Third Department of Regional Health (DRSIII) in the State of São Paulo. We have employed scientific productions including some capital works in the field of Brazilian Health Care, that depict experiences which are not in keeping neither with the neoliberal program nor an understanding of how micropolitics actually funcions in health work. We conducted two interviews with managers, four focal groups with health workers and one focal group with the municipal group of institutional support. To conduct the analysis of these interviews and focal groups we have employed the thematic and categorial content developed. After concluding the analysis we have observed an intense production in those groups. Embracement has produced four categories, and it has also brought to light the fact that their routines and practices consisted in a model focused on the medical consultation. The reception screens the users, then the nursing team take care the procedures prior to the medical consultation that in a practical sense, have little in common with the concept of embracement. There are other practices such as the nursing consultation and group reunions (if conducted by the workers themselves) that make a difference in the daily routine of the health unity. For the nurses, comanagement has produced five categories, and have also brought to light new ways of coordinating as well as new relations of power. In this municipality there are different spaces of management and meetings for the health teams which have been incorporated to the daily schedule. These spaces may be reevaluated so that they could function in a less taylorist and more democratic in which workers and health managers could take part. The Institutional support produced five categories which have proven to be an experience linked to procedures which are rooted on the professional developement of worker and have a direct connection to their expertise. The methodology employed by the support group was built on its own actions, creating an interplay between contract, demand and supply. The supporter's interventions are always questioned both by those who give and receive support. In spite of all the challenges and the cristallyzed notions about the subject, we consider this experience to be a very innovative one: it holds on for more than a decade to practices that have been recognized as the force that moves forward a model of health care that is defending life.

The construction sector is one of the sectors that most require natural resources and generate waste throughout the production chain. In this sense, given the need to preserve the environment and natural resources for future generations, the industry needs to improve the environmental performance of its operations chain. In order to achieve effective improvements by the actions developed by the sector, these actions need to be based on information about the environmental performance that are objective and verifiable. One of the methods that allow the collection of environmental information is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which is one of the main tools of environmental impact assessment for the lifecycle of products and systems. The LCA allows to evaluate the impacts of raw material extraction, manufacturing process, use and disposalt. In this context, a study of the manufacturing process of structural ceramic blocks (cradle to factory gate) was conducted, aiming to analyze its main impacts and processes that contribute most to these environmental impacts. To conduct this study data collection was performed in two plants located in the State of São Paulo. Based on data collected locally and on the international database Ecoinvent®, the life cycle inventory (LCI) was drawn up with the necessary adaptations to represent the local context. Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) was carried out using the following methods: CML 2002, Edip 97, USEtox and IPCC 2013. Based on the LCIA results, it was possible to identify the processes that contributed to each of the impacy categories analyzed, with the electricity being the process that most contributed to all categories. But the fuel used in the burning of the blocks, in turn, did not generate significant environmental impacts due to factories studied using biomass. Therefore, this study allowed to evaluate the magnitude and importance of the environmental impacts generated by the manufacture of ceramic bricks and also to characterize the environmental performance of ceramic bricks based on LCA.

“A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF HALIDE ION IN THE SYNTHESIS OF LIQUID EPOXY RESINS AND ON THE HYDROLISIS OF PROPYLENE OXIDE” is on two aspects of the halide ion in chemistries of liquid epoxy resin and the propylene oxide in the industrial context. The first theme is the improvement of quantification methodology of the residual halide content in the finished resin. To understand the occlusion process of the halide ion, the reactions of the resin syntheses and the molecular aspects are reviewed. The analytical procedure in use is compared with a modified methodology proposed for the determination of residual halide content. The second theme is the equilibrium in the propylene oxide preparative reaction in saline solution and the application of the study results into the improvement of propylene oxide scrubbing process from the purge vapors arising along the handling chain.

This work aims at the development of physical phenomena simulations associated to mathematical modeling and experimentation. The choice of geometrical optics is due, among other reasons, to the need for raising the students’ awareness concerning this important Physics theme. Concepts related to the refraction of light were studied, from basic notions to more complex applications like the negative refraction index in metamaterials. A survey was conducted, both in literature and among students, to diagnose existing misconceptions regarding transmission, reflection and refraction of light. In view of the survey results, we analyzed some educational software available for free use (Simulations PhET - Interactive Simulations, Easy Java Simulations, Geogebra, Algodoo, Modellus and their versions and Scratch) to determine which one would be most suitable to the objectives of this work. Modellus-X was chosen because it features construction tools with various representations of the same situation, exploring or building, at the same time, equations, tables, graphics and animations, whether for exploratory or expressive modeling. The set of simulations, experiments and mathematical models presented in this paper is meant to encourage the learner to investigate diverse possibilities within Physics learning, and provide him with an enhanced teaching/learning process.

In the past decades, there has been a revolution in the way science has been conducted. The current context has demanded more collaborative work such as, studies in research networks of large scale. One of the many essential marks of change in this new way of making science has been the intense usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), or “eScience”. Nowadays, it plays a fundamental role in the methodology adopted by many research groups around the world. Analyses of the qualitative data evidenced in researches about Special Education were done then. The biggest challenge that was noticed would be to advance in the analysis of qualitative data using information technologies without losing the subjectivity involved in the research and to broaden the capability of going over the data without losing the right to come and go, the right to critique and establish proper reflexions, respecting subjective positioning and, above all, maintaining the research's critic criteria. In this sense, this work establishes as its main objective to evaluate the proposed technological architecture of qualitative analyses of data. This analysis was based upon data mining theories, researches in ontology and techniques of semantic notation in the field of special education aiming to analyze the thresholds and possibilities this methodological approach permits. We used as methodology the construction of a prototype, named Serendipity, based on the perspective of software engineering, in order to extract the main techniques that could set as a safe method for design, implementation and deployment of the solution. Cyclically, the methodology allowed us to modify requirements and establish improvements, allowing the feedback process from new analyses. The text mining process relied on gaining knowledge from textual databases that have little or no data structure. The computational ontology was the element able to reconstruct the syntactic representation, giving it direction. The words (data) are related and are set within a context of formal knowledge, providing them with a semantic and cognitive ability, building concepts, open to interpretation, comprehension and common understanding; as a result, we built up a specific ontology for Special Education. The semantic annotation helped attach content to the text to describe their semantics, allowing that software agents could retrieve information in a more precise manner through the association of the document to the ontology in a conception of semantic fields. We built a customized dictionary for special education to relate terms to synonyms and expressions associated with the ontology. To view beyond the semantic classes, we used automatic concept maps to establish relationships between concepts included in a hierarchical structure of propositions. Finally, to assess the proposal, we made use of part of the data collected from the National Observatory of Special Education in transcribed texts about the formation of five cities, one from each region of Brazil. The results show limits already recognized in the proposal and; in this respect, did not aim to establish a subjective and deep analysis that would permit extreme precision results. It points out that the researcher is and will always be the driving factor that operates the process’ flow and relying, or not, on computing tools is not entirely immune to err. The proposal of serendipity has given a step forward in the automatic process of data analysis and can be used in big data without losing the subjectivity of the researcher. However, we must add new human and technological resources to contribute to its improvement and encourage other areas to develop domain ontologies with their experts and the development of specific dictionaries. Therefore, despite its limitations, the approach has shown significant advances in semantic exploration of qualitative data in the Special Education field and it is capable of being adapted to other areas and fields of knowledge.

The experiences of urban agriculture follow the social and political phenomenon known as invisibility of the peasantry, which is reinforced by the urban planning, which threaten and marginalize the agricultural areas of the municipality. In the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to the pressure of urbanization, the farmers of the Pedra Branca Massif suffer from the neglect of the Government and with restrictions on agricultural practice and removing threats, due to the creation of the State Park, in 1974. Such factors contributed to the decline of agriculture at that location and, consequently, to the shortage of labor, which represents one of the greatest challenges for the continuity of the activity and for the livelihood of families. In this context, family farmers have been articulated in networks in order to strengthen their struggle to stay in the territory, through legitimation of their identities, access to new markets and the insertion in the context of public policy. The survey was developed with family farmers from Vargem Grande, in the Pedra Branca Massif, joint to Rio Network of Urban Agriculture, starting from the hypothesis that the actions and relations of several agents can modify the settings of the conflicts and give rise to new identities that strengthen the political action of the actors. The goal is to understand the role of networks and mediators to strengthening of the family farm in the Pedra Branca Massif. The field work was based on participant observation, complemented by semi-structured oral interviews,participation in meeting, visits and informal conversations. It was concluded that social and political organization, supported by mediators and networking, in addition to contributing to the politicization of the subject, has been building and affirming identities that produce representations about space and legitimize the presence of farmers in this protected urban territory, ensuring the vitality of their practice

The present work intends to produce and provide instructional material to high school teachers of physics, focusing on workshop methodology as a viable alternative to physics classes. It is proposed to equip teachers with innovative tools and context for the process of teaching-learning physics, based on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and experimental practices. Detailed scripts were developed for the implementation of the methodology and offer of workshops in classrooms about Modern Physics (MP). From the literature it was observed that the workshops when developed with its own teachers, would make it possible to overcome deficits in their initial formation, including those regarding to the use of experimentation, technology, innovative methodologies and concepts of MP. Studies have demonstrated the real need to help teachers in the search for new alternatives for insertion of physics and its teaching in the social and technological reality of its students; As well as the effectiveness of instructional material in overcoming, even if timidly, some shortcomings with regard to pedagogical practice and the teaching of certain challenging content, in a contextualizing and motivating perspective.

Starting from Chicos Mendes's occupation analysis, this study intend to understand how is the struggle experience of The people of the Homeless Workers Movement (MTST) while they are camped. For this, however, we seek to recover the genesis of the problems that give, from one side, the formation of the movement for its integration to the socio-spatial inequalities from the city, and on the other hand, give basis for the social experiences lived and brought by people who enter in MTST while camping.This wide scenario will be the base to the preparation of the study and understanding of the encounter of these two distinct logics, among families who choose to be part of the movement and the political propositions of it. It will be in this interstice, understood by the movement only by the need of a housing, we will make this study through the pleople experience. Through the fieldwork done at the occupation and the literature reviews, it is evident in this study that MTST will be in a very distinguished suburb, similar to those which gave base to the appearance of urban movements from the 1970s and 1980s. And, therefore, will be by this widely modified scenario (both in the social experience of individuals and about the social management promoted by the state) that MTST seek to gain their legitimacy.

The object of this research is to analyze how the process of actions implementation of Permanent Education in Health (EPS) works in a region of São Paulo, on the assumption that the Unified Health System (SUS) has responsibility for ordering and training Human Resources - HR for health. In addition, it is still far from a professional training and working process reorganization to promote transformation and reorientation of attention, care and management models. This is an exploratorydescriptive study of qualitative approach, whose main objective is to analyze through documental research, public documents of the municipalities relating to EPS actions, emphasizing the EPS deployment and implementation in the territory of the Regional Health Department III - DRSIII Araraquara / São Paulo. The analysis was guided by the theoretical reference of EPS and Primary Health Care (ABS), and the results were presented by categories. The guiding documents such as the Regional Action Plan for Permanent Education in Health (PAREPS) and the Health Maps were identified, and submitted to documental analysis with thematic content technique, which enabled to identify how the EPS actions is being implemented in a region of the state of São Paulo. Based on qualitative analysis, the results, organized and presented by health region, show their characterization as well as the needs and proposals identified in each PAREPS within the period of 2008 to 2015. Through the analysis, it is apprehended that the EPS can be considered a “management and intervention strategy” that suggests a revision of management, attention, training workers and social participation practices in a critical and reflective perspective, making articulations between training and the working world, and, supporting significant learning, in a learning process that could produce senses and meanings in order to contribute to the social transformation of reality.

This research is an exploratory study presenting the Design for Environment - DfE as one of the environmental management practices in Industrial Ecology in the product development cycle. The DfE should examine the entire life cycle of a product, such as its development, manufacture, use and disposal proposing changes to the project in order to minimize its environmental impact. This product design technique makes it possible to achieve the usual goals in their design, such as performance, reliability and cost of manufacturing. These together with environmental goals, for example to reduce environmental damage, reduced use of resources, increasing energy efficiency and material recycling. Thus, there is need for replacement almost obligatory for some product types. However, the rapid replacement of these products, as well as its disposal can create serious environmental problems, by volume, the material in its composition that take a long time to decompose, such as plastic, glass and metal, but especially because of the heavy metals that can compose, are highly damaging to human health. Not being enough, there are still suitable locations for disposal of many products into disuse. The growth of the contingent of consumers who prefer to buy goods and services that respect the nature is one of the factors that drives the treatment of environmental problems, in addition to the rapid popularization of products and obsolescence of some models. Aspects of reduction of natural resources can be developed into a company that include one Lean Manufacturing environment that aims at a reduction of waste, seeking to improve productivity and quality. This relationship contribute to sustainable development suggesting the existence of an enabling environment for the realization of efforts aimed at reducing or eliminating waste. Through a case study it became clear that DfE practices is related to some Lean tools, as part of its purpose. Also some tools that the company uses environmental exert influence, may be applied in product design to minimize the environmental impact. This work presents the practices observed by a Literature Review Systematic comparison with the case study and the DfE practices that relate to Lean.

The education of indigenous people is conceived in the dynamics of socialization, based on principles, organization, Cosmo vision and cosmology of the different tribes, that is, the education is not restricted to institutions, because it is an element inherent to the culture. The indigenous scholastic education in Brazil has gone through significant advances after the structuring of indigenous movements of the 1980s, supported by the legal landmark in the Federal Constitution of Brazil of 1988, which recognizes the different Brazilian cultures and languages. One such fundamental right of the indigenous people is the access to a differentiated education. This way, this research analyzes how the indigenous population of Kaingang Apucaraninha (Tamarana, PR) interprets the creation of the “Colégio Estadual Benedito Rokag” (Benedito Rokag State School) inside the village, and compares the time when the natives had to commute to the nearest district headquarters to go to high school, as well as the identification of the differentiated teaching processes, the influence generated by the school in community interaction, and the construction of the social economic identity of the indigenous people. The instruments used in this research for data collection were the bibliographical revision, semi-structures interviews and direct observation. The results of the field research indicate the principal difficulties the natives had in order to go to high school in a rural district close to the Indigenous Reservation, prejudice being one of the main ones, as well as the benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of the School in the village – the main benefit being the reconstruction of social and cultural identity of the indigenous youth. This way, the differentiated teaching methods are a precious alternative to the appreciation of indigenous culture, at the same time that they present new issues that must be discussed in the academic area, specifically with the indigenous people.

As the aging of the population becomes a reality, it is necessary to rethink the cities to offer accessibility to all its individuals, having or not some restriction of mobility themselves. Accessibility must transcend the interior of buildings and permeate all its surroundings and the urban environment. Make the city accessible is a challenge, and this becomes even bigger when the focus is the elderly population. It must be changed the way of thinking cities, as the range of the population over 60’s that live alone is increasing, and ensuring them accessibility and mobility is a duty of the government. This study is meant to examine the accessibility and mobility of residents of a housing project for the elderly in the city of Araraquara, SP, using as reference the Brazilian Standard NBR 9050, 2015. This analysis includes the views of residents and the responsible administrative agent on the issue, as well as the use of technical parameters of ISO 9050, for the elaboration of a check list to ascertain whether the place has the necessary accessibility for this vulnerable group. The methodology consists in applying the tools MMSE test-Mini Mental State Examination, conversation circles, as well as relevant parameters of the standard NBR 9050. Initially the results pointed to a very positive perception by the elderly, although some accessibility parameters have not been included in the construction of houses and residential facilities. Furthermore, it was found very low mobility of older people when they need to perform their daily tasks, making possible by the use of transport modes on foot and by public transport by bus. Improve accessibility both internally and in mobility for the surrounding of the residence location, would be some of the possible solutions to increase security and ensure autonomy, fostered by increased mobility.

Magnesium oxide has been proposed as an alternative binder to calcium aluminate cement in refractory castables with reduced amount of CaO. The binding effect is generated by the MgO hydration, resulting in brucite [Mg(OH)2]. The formation of this hydroxide is followed by volumetric changes which, depending on its magnitude, can induce cracks in the material. However, if the hydration reactions are controlled, it would be possible to obtain in situ Mg(OH)2, which could fill in the pores and increase the mechanical strength of the refractory. Considering this possibility and based on a kinetic model that describes MgO hydration as a nucleation and growth process, in this work the control of the kinetic of Mg(OH)2 formation in aluminous castables, was studied. Considering the bar resonance as the main characterisation technique for measuring the in situ elastic modulus, the effect of particle size, MgO reactivity, temperature, time of curing and drying on the kinetic of strengthening of castables containing MgO in the matrix, were evaluated. When finer or less reactive MgO were used, the brucite’s nuclei were more dispersedly formed, favouring the growth of Mg(OH)2 crystals. In order to increase the nuclei density and to limit the growth of the formed crystals, more nucleation sites were activated. Propionic, acetic and formic acids were selected for this purpose. Among those, formic acid activated a greater number of nucleation sites, controlling brucite formation and inhibiting the samples’ cracking. Due to the high degree of hydration, explosion of the samples during the first heating of the castables, was detected. Nevertheless, this drawback was eliminated by the addition of hydratable alumina or a microsilica-based additive to the designed compositions. As a consequence, aluminous castables bonded with MgO and formic acid were successfully prepared, leading to a novel processing route not yet found in the literature.

This study have the objective to analyze the mechanisms of acess of the Indigenous in the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) starting from the trajectory of participation of Pataxós Hãhãhãe Territory Caramuru-Paraguaçu, located in the city of Pau Brazil (BA), identifying the access mechanisms of indigenous to the Program, how the changes after insertion to improvement in socioeconomic conditions and the difficulties encountered in this insertion. The survey was conducted through visits and dialogue with the Indians, using qualitative methodology through semi-structured interviews and observation in the field, and consultation the official government agencies and research papers on the subject. The results showed that the access of the indigenous to the PAA was possible thanks to the participation of external actors that promoted the organization and preparation of projects. Without these initiatives, the Indigenous people would not have the opportunity to access the program. The research enabled us to identify the access of indigenous people to other public policies such as PNGATI, Bolsa Família and Pronaf, in the case of Pronaf the results pointed to negative environmental and social impacts. Regarding the socio-economic question, the program contributes to improving the living conditions, giving new opportunity for the flow of production, revealing a role of indigenous women within the program. However, despite the progress achieved, the changes were not enough to bring about a significant improvement in quality of life, because the difficulties encountered become impossible the Indigenous reach the maximum quota available.

Obesity is a metabolic disorder and its prevalence is increasing worldwide, which in turn significantly increase the morbidity and mortality rates associated. Obesity is associated with several diseases risk factors, the expand of adipose tissue lead a chronic inflammatory state, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction and hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The hallmark of obesity is the low grade inflammation, with increase of production and secretion of several proinflammatory cytokines that lead to insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction, which is a precursor to cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular outcome. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of comorbidities together with obesity evolution. In this way, we fed Wistar male rats with a palatable high fat diet during twenty-four weeks and every 6 weeks was evaluate: The inflammatory state by measuring cytokines pro-inflammatory (interleukin -6 tumor necrosis factor –α, reactive C protein) and anti-inflammatory adiponectin; the endothelial function; the Nitric Oxide levels, blood pressure and cardiac contractile. Our results indicated that six weeks of high fat feeding rats increase visceral fat and triggers inflammatory state, insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. At 12 weeks of high fat diet an increase in blood pressure and lipid peroxidation in aorta was observed and at 24 weeks an impaired on cardiac contractile was observed. To our knowledge, this is the first study showing the evolution of metabolic disorders in high-fat diet model.

Labor productivity indicators are important for several reasons, among which can be cited: a more accurate composition of budgets; the establishment of production goals; and to determine the correct work team size. Several works have quantified labor productivity of construction services, and in this context, there is a noticeable lack of works that deal with building systems execution, particularly, the ones related to power and communication systems. This work has the objective of analyzing labor productivity in the execution of those systems and is based in the Factor Model. To accomplish that, three different tasks in five multistory buildings were measured: electrical infrastructure in wall; electrical infrastructure in concrete slab; and electrical wiring. At the same time, some context and content factors that are likely to influence labor productivity were pointed out. Among the analyzed tasks, the one that presented the best productivity was the electrical wiring on site D (Cumulative productivity = 0.019 Wh/m), while the worst value (Cumulative productivity = 0.080 Wh/m) was detected in electrical infrastructure in concrete slab on Site B. Among the influencing factors identified, there are indications that the type of contract firmed with workers influenced labor productivity, with better results where the workers were subcontracted. The labor productivity results obtained are much better than those presented in reference manuals, indicating the necessity of additional works with the analysis of a larger number of cases.
