The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential for cultivation of forage green manure species in previously irrigated soil with treated dairy effluent, as a phytoremediation technique of sodium, and cultivation in succession of lettuce. The design was in randomized blocks in a factorial scheme, with three sources of water (anaerobic effluent - ANE, aerobic effluent - AE, and tap water - TW) used in beet cultivation, and the post - cultivation of three green forage fertilizers (calopogo, pigeon pea and millet), with four replicates. After the green manure was cultivated the crisp lettuce, cv. "Brida". The following were evaluated: the development of green manures; phytoextraction of nutrients and sodium; the bromatology of the forages, the chemical characteristics of the soil before and after cultivation of green manures; the productivity of lettuce and its chemical characteristics. Millet presented higher fresh shoot mass production (FSMP) when compared to calopogo and millet. However, it showed reduction of FSMP in ANE in relation to TW. In the soil chemical analysis before and after green manuring, it was found that calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) increased after cultivation of green manures. In relation to sodium (Na), millet phytoextracted 22.4 kg ha-1 , differing statistically from pigeon pea (11.4 kg ha-1 ), in the mean of water sources. Millet was the most efficient phytoextractive sodium species, even though no phytoextraction of Na was present at adequate levels so that the soil could receive effluents again. Millet had higher levels of neutral detergent fiber (FDN), acid detergent fiber (FDA) and hemicellulose. Crude protein (CP) did not differ statistically between green manures. In relation to lettuce productivity, there was difference after millet cultivation (2.80 kg m-2 ) in relation to pigeon pea (3.71 kg m-2 ) and calopogo (3.60 kg m-2 ). The lettuce produced satisfactorily after the cultivation of green manures

The sugarcane is a major global economic importance culture, especially for Brazil. The country is the largest producer of culture and its by-products, sugar and alcohol. The sugarcane has received attention for the generation of electricity. Since the importance of the sugar-energy sector, there is a need to increase agricultural production. This culture is exposed to various diseases caused by pathogens that impair the production of culture. Coal disease is one of them, caused by the fungus S. Scitamineum, making it less susceptible productive varieties and can cause loss of up to 100% of the plantation. More productive varieties with resistance to more diseases, obtained in less time are focused on breeding programs. The study aims to find microsatellite markers (SSR) associated with resistance of sugarcane to the fungus S. scitamineum. It used an F1 population (SP81-3250 RB925345 x) composed of 238 genotypes. Artificial inoculation of sugarcane stalks of the population through telia injection was made. The billets were kept in a greenhouse, and 25 were carried out between January and September 2014 for the first experiment and August 2015 to February 2016 for the experiment II, to identify the incidence of the disease. Molecular analysis and construction of linkage map were made by genotyping with SSR markers, which enabled the construction of linkage map with 128 brands linked, generating 49 linkage groups with a total length of 1297.68 cm. For data on the incidence of coal was used to calculate the area under the disease progress curve (AACPD), normalized to BLUPS values. The analysis allowed us to observe a population with more tolerant genotypes in experiment I and little disease in experiment II. In addition, it was noted that for the first experiment, the 10th to the 25th evaluation, the results were highly correlated, it was not repeated for the second trial. Experiment II showed low incidence in all genotypes of the population and patterns in the study. This incidence difference between the two experiments probably occurred by the difference in temperature conditions to which they were exposed, and the first experiment was set up in the summer with a starting temperature higher and the second trial began with mild temperatures and were increasing with time, the same occurs for the incidence of the disease. The association between phenotype and genotype was performed by analysis of variance, converted to LOD score. It was possible to verify an EST-SSR marker, SCB 370, which was significant (LOD> 3), explaining in 5% of the phenotypic variation for the experiment I.

In the State of Pará, the object of the present research, a significant institutional reform took place in 2007, based on regional decentralization and the search for integrated regional development. Until then, the development and integration models designed for the State were dictated by the federal government, such as the projects executed by the Superintendency for the Development of the Eastern Amazon (SUDAM). In this sense, the main objective of this thesis is to analyze how the governments of the state of Pará from 2007 to 2014 acted to promote regional development. The central question that led to the analysis was: What are the institutional changes of the state governments of Pará in the period from 2007 to 2014 with the objective of integrated regional development? In this study, we assume that the State reform proposed by the government of Pará from 2007 to 2014 was an initiative focused on regional governance, which has an institutional redesign that favors intergovernmental relations both vertically and horizontally Regional development and intraregional integration. Assuming that institutions can contribute to regional development (although limited by institutional constraints), the hypothesis supported by this thesis will be that the State government in Pará, between 2007 and 2014, carried out institutional reforms based on the Strengthening intergovernmental relations for the purpose of regional development. These changes contributed to regional development and were based on regional governance. Thus, it is argued that, because it is an institutional analysis related to regional development and regional integration, the analysis has as its main axis the regional governance paradigm and the theoretical reference of neoinstitutionalism. In this regard, we analyze the institutional, social and environmental dimension of government actions in the period. The methodology used to reach the proposed objective was the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data on the case of the State of Pará. We started from the analytical model already used in the literature (ABRUCIO, 2010) in relation to the state governments in Brazil. We concluded that the institutional changes proposed by the State governments during the period analyzed sought to favor intergovernmental relations. However, there were factors that limited interlocking and intergovernmental partnerships implemented from initiatives based on regional governance.

Considering the theoretical and metodological aproaches of Critical Theory of Society, especially by the contributions of Adorno and Horkheimer, this study analyses the discrepancy between what is yearned for and what is taught about art in the public school of São Paulo State. One can verify the misunderstanding of negative dialectic tension between autonomy and adaptation that are carried and expressed in a fundamental educative principle which conciliates the citzenship exercise and the development of job skills. This lack of understanding becomes the formative practices unable to disrupt the collapse of culture. In this Master Thesis, the aim is to demonstrate, by the critical conception of aesthetic experience, the recovering of Art as an underlying element for the formation of learner's emancipation.

The APIs are becoming increasingly more popular and they play a important role in software development. However, many APIs are large and complex that makes them hard to learn. Among avaliable resources to learn to use an API, there are the code samples. A code sample can be used to demonstrate to a programmer how to use API’s components together to attain a specific goal. But, code sample are static and they haven’t information about how to adapt the code snippet shown as example to programmer’s context. Tools have been proposed to assist the programmers in finding and adapting code snippets that may be useful for a programming task. A specific type of these tools are the code template tools. Code templates are code snippets manually registered containing integration directives. The integration directives instruct the code template tool on how to adapt a code snippet to programmer’s context. In this work, code snippet tools are investigated and it is proposed a code template tool called IPS. It presents some novelties in relation to other code template tools. In the IPS, a code template can be associated to a Java class and the IPS has a code template recommender that is automatically updated as the source code is edited by the programmer. Also it is proposed the role parameters, a new concept for the parameters of code templates that extends the concept of the parameters associated to a type which is present in current code template tools. The role parameters has the objective of accepting arguments that would at first be incompatible with a specific type, but that obey a expected pattern.

[EN]This research aimed to understand what is manifest in the mathematical practices of members of the remaining community of quilombos of Agrovila Espera, Alcântara - MA, in their everyday social practices, questioning them from their not universal and decoding the effects of significance and meaning assigned to them by community members. The study that led to this text was developed through a qualitative research of ethnographic and analyzes were assisted by ethnographic microanalysis with the support of elements of philosophical thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Part initially of theorizing of what became known as “early Wittgenstein” to forward understandings about the notions of “Wittgenstein”, in particular the language of games, trying to present contributions to research in mathematics education that apply to the Ethnomathematics. The leading practice was to manufacture and “empaneiramento” of cassava flour and observations and interviews with audio recordings and video, helped in understanding the dynamics of social relations that are established in the community who have the mathematical practice their sense of existence. It is emphasized that the intertwining of Wittgenstein's notions with the speeches of individuals, allowed also to understand how the mathematical language games that make up and characterize such practices and that remain in its different uses, collaborate for the development of their social practices relating to work and livelihood. The made bibliographic studies and research developed ethnographic allowed further understand that since the 1980s, when the start of dispossession, displacement and resettlement for the implementation of the Alcantara Launch Center (CLA), there is the systematic loss of traditions and socio-cultural aspects of these people and, among them, their mathematical practices. Compulsory changes in their lives, also caused changes in their ways of relating to other communities and interrelate with their own members by changing their historical social practices.

Emotions play a crucial role in the way people interact with each other, objects and computing systems, and are a key factor in human-computer interaction. The choice of the appropriate elements for a user interface may result in a better experience of how it can be used. However, most studies investigate people’s preferences and visual aesthetics, without taking into account people’s emotion in the design. This dissertation carries out a series of detailed studies on the emotional effects of user interface elements, by examining colors, fonts and images. A critical analysis of the literature (through a systematic review) combined to the Semantic Space of Emotions, which covers a broad spectrum of emotions, resulted in the proposal of Bianchi’s Color Wheel. An empirical study was conducted on the emotional effects of font types and sizes; this involved 60 users and was necessary because there are so few studies on fonts and emotions in the literature. With regard to font types, in statistical terms, it was found there were no significant differences, although Arial was more closely linked to positive emotions than Times New Roman in the discourse analysis. Small font sizes, 8pt, caused negative experiences and led to tiredness, while medium (12pt) and large (16pt) sizes were mainly related to pleasant and comforting experiences. The third study investigated tagged and felt emotions evoked by images which were collected through social tags that were clearly related to emotions. The aim of the study was to determine whether or not these images are reliable for the design and retrieval. Thus, an online survey was planned and carried out by a group of 410 volunteers who classified pictures from Flickr. The results suggested that there are some emotions tagged that were similar to observers emotions, while others are diffuse and need other criteria for their selection apart from social tags. Finally, it should be mentioned that further studies are needed to address the complete user interface with all these elements and findings combined.

This case study presents the profile of the neighborhoods Jardim Abaeté, Parque Vitória Régia, and Parque São Bento, which are classified as medium-risk (R2) and high-risk (R3) flood areas in the North Zone of Sorocaba. The main objective of the research is to assess the management of natural risks based on the guidelines proposed in the Summary of the Risk Mapping Results of the Municipality of Sorocaba, an annex to the Risk Area Mapping for Landslides and Floods prepared by the Geological Institute in 2015. Through the hypothetical-deductive method, bibliographic and documentary research, and the use of the software Google Earth and ArcGIS, an analysis was conducted on the urbanization process and its socio-environmental impacts, with an emphasis on the concepts of risk and vulnerability, examining the adoption of structural and non-structural measures by public authorities aimed at preventing natural disasters. It was evident that measures have been implemented to mitigate the population's risk, with highlights including the construction of a retention basin in Jardim Abaeté, the installation of dikes in Parque Vitória Régia, the relocation of families from risk areas in Parque São Bento, and the installation of a data collection platform (DCP) that monitors the water level of the Sorocaba River and the municipality's rainfall index. The research indicates that the lack of dredging of the Sorocaba River for several years; inadequate urban drainage planning; real estate speculation on land; irregular occupation of floodplains; absence of riparian vegetation in certain areas; high average precipitation levels; and the characteristics of the local terrain are the main factors causing Sorocaba and its neighborhoods to still suffer from flooding during the rainy season, especially in the summer period.

This paper reports a research linked to the Center for Studies and Research on Narratives, Training and Teaching Work (Nepen) developed at the Graduate Program in Education of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) - Campus Sorocaba. The research is focused on perceptions about gender and sexuality to teachers who work in the Youth and Adult Education (EJA). The issue that guides the development of this research of the following question: What are the perceptions about gender and sexuality evidenced in educational narratives produced by teachers who work in adult education and from them which settings can guide their educational practices? The research aims to seek to understand the perceptions of gender and sexuality to teachers who work in adult education and the importance of discussing these issues in the statement of respect for differences in school; point out problems for convergence between education and issues related to gender and sexuality in the adult education and discuss the perceptions of gender and sexuality in the relationship of the daily school EJA driving the reflection on the values that mark our society. To answer this problem the study is structured from a qualitative perspective and uses for production data preparation of educational narratives in the context of an extension course offered for education professionals working in adult education. As a methodological theoretical framework considered the contributions of Freire (1976,1996,1988); Valdés (2014) and Vóvio (2013) for the reasoning of EJA; Louro (1997, 2000, 2009, 2011) and Miskolci (2010, 2015) for reasons of gender and sexuality; Bogdan and Biklen (1994), Deslauriers and Kérisit (2012), Thiollent (2011), Tripp (2005); Sicardi Nakayama (2015), Bardin (1977) and Franco (2005), for reasons of methodological route and analyze data. For teacher training: Sicardi (2008), Cunha (1998) and Nóvoa (2009). The results foresee possible educational subsidies for improving the social quality of education in classrooms of AYE.

Nanotechnology has developed rapidly in recent decades, characterized as the fourth industrial revolution. In the current market, the use of products that incorporate nanotechnology is ascending. The nanoparticles (NPs) are characterized as materials with 1 to 100 nm at leat one of its dimension, which have large surface area and physicochemical properties distinct from their source material. In particular, the magnetic nanoparticles are of great interest in materials science, and their applications is investigated in biotechnology / biomedicine, magnetic resonance imaging, data storage, catalysis, environmental remediation process and others. However, the risks of the development of new nanomaterials for the environment are still underexplored and research that regulate its use is still incipient. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of magnetic nanoparticles into one kind of freshwater phytoplankton, the microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata. NPs used were Fe3O4 NPs (magnetite); Cu-Fe2O4 NPs (hematite with adsorbed copper) and CoFe2O4 NPs (cobalt ferrite). Besides traditionally used parameters in aquatic ecotoxicology as cell density and chlorophyll a content, were also evaluated the biochemical composition (protein, lipids and carbohydrates) of this microalgae, fluorescence parameters of chlorophyll a and oxidative stress induced by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our studies indicate that only high concentrations, higher than 50 mg L-1, of magnetic nanoparticles modified the physiologic response of microalgae, in which case increased concentrations of lipids and proteins. The chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and oxidative stress induced by ROS in general were sensitive to NPs, particularly in higher concentrations. Therefore, the implementation and use of magnetic and bimetallic NPs in aquatic environments can be considered safe for chloroficea Raphidocelis subcapitata since in low concentrations.

This thesis discusses the dynamics of school time-space of a public educational institution, the Third School Group of Limeira, estate of São Paulo, from the study of its school culture and its history, covering the period from its creation to the current days (1940-2010). The school culture produced, reproduced, preserved and transformed by the interaction of individuals with the school environment, the work and space organization, plus the pedagogical rationalization of time, compose a set of factors that identify and characterize the school according to the nature of its function, thus developing a collective standard of practice, think and recognize in this environment. Simultaneously, from elements of the school culture, which is in a constant process, it is constructed and can be understood the history of the educational institution. Belonging to this movement lies the research problem: what are the continuities, changes, similarities and contrasts that permeate the relationship between school and time? In answer to this question we aim to study the school culture and understand the history of the educational institution; identify, characterize and analyze historical, philosophical, cultural, political and socioeconomic aspects linked to school culture and history of education; know the history of the educational institution patron and understand the relationships established within the school. As the school culture is full of senses and meanings that determine the configuration of the educational institution, the dynamics of school space-time can be detected by elements of the own school universe as they are imbued with school culture remains. Thus, the research used the potential of school photographs, through its reading and interpretation, together with testimonials (students, teachers, employees ...), and other direct documentary sources such as file archives (school, media, museum, municipal, state and private archives...), as a historical and memory source for education. The photographs, in communion with reports and other documentary sources, worked as an elucidation device of relations between the school and time, which allowed the researcher to identify and analyze possible similarities, contrasts, continuities and transformations throughout the educational process. For a theoretical and critical basis, the study used a bibliographical research that enabled a dialogue between empirical sources and scientific literature. The offered not only exhibit impressions of a school endowed with identity, history and own culture, but also for composing, along with other institutions a single education system, subject to the same rules, public policy, educational and administrative requirements, allow the reconstruction and understanding of relationships and situations involving individuals, education and the school environment in different contexts within the group as a whole.

The convenience of single-use packaging of high density polyethylene (HDPE) led to the need to convert them into biodegradable materials in less time to minimize the environmental problems caused by disposal. An alternative is the use of prodegradants. However, mechanical properties of packaging materials must be preserved during use and pro-degrading action should increase only after disposal. To achieve this balance between performance and degradability, stabilizers can be added to HDPE/prodegradant. HDPE is a chemically stable polyolefin, hence abiotic degradation times, even in the presence of prodegradant, are long. Therefore, the need for kinetic studies has become critical. To this end, formulations with different manganese stearate levels (50, 200 and 400 ppm) in the presence or absence of stabilizers (primary and secondary) were subjected to thermo-oxidative degradation at three temperatures (60, 70 and 80 °C). For the development of the kinetic studies, tensile tests, infrared spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography were performed at different thermo-oxidation times. The results showed that manganese stearate, regardless of concentration, in addition to accelerating thermal oxidation of HDPE caused a higher level of degradation, characterized by lower molar masses and higher levels of carbonyl index at the end of the degradation time. Addition of the primary stabilizer increased induction time without altering degradation rates, which enables it to be used in conjunction with the prodegradant to delay the onset of the degradative process. However, the secondary stabilizer caused no significant difference for the levels studied. The kinetic assessment (Arrhenius extrapolations) allowed us to conduct studies predicting degradation times relevant to the analysis of degradation.

The present work had as general objective to perform the genomic annotation of Expressed Sequences (ESTs) of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp, available in the database of Project ShEST and to evaluate the polymorphism of mined SSR and SNP tags. These markers were located in the main chain of protein genes with function related to performance traits and were validated in SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) shrimp families submitted to selection for rapid growth and survival. In addition to the EST-SSR and EST-SNP loci, obtained by Sanger sequencing, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analyzes were included in the initial proposal of work with the objective of expanding the set of SNPs available and verifying the differential gene expression. The new assembly of ESTs was performed and produced a set of 2.984 unigenes with protein products for 41% of them, with 1.983 SSRs and 3.472 SNPs being identified. Among the loci with gene product identified, 231 were enzymes with 127 unique EC numbers inserted in 94 KEGG metabolic pathways. Loci validation showed that the loci of the 60S ribosomal (SSR-EST) and crustacyanin (SNP-EST) proteins were polymorphic in the animals sampled from Genearch. Statistical analyzes were conducted to verify the existence of a possible association between the genotypes and the analyzed weight phenotypes, although no association was observed. In addition, cross-species amplification tests were performed on seven species of marine and two freshwater prawns, demonstrating successful transferability for these species. The RNAseq approach was included in the present work with the purpose of increasing the number of SNPs detected in candidate genes with performance-related function and identifying differentially expressed (DE) genes in animals under experimental conditions. A second transcriptome was assembled from the muscle and hepatopancreas tissues of L. vannamei individuals (i) evaluated for rapid growth and survival and (ii) exposed to the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). A total of 63.105 transcripts were generated, with an average size of 2.511 bp and N50 of 3.464 bp. More than 15.500 SNPs were identified (frequency > 50%). Functional annotation was also performed on the bases of SwissProt, Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG. Differential gene expression analyzes were performed on the animal samples evaluated for growth and response to WSSV infection. The data generated showed differences in the expression profile between the genes of (i) high and low growth animals, (ii) the hepatopancreas and muscle and (iii) the uninfected (healthy) and infected (ill) animals by WSSV, considering the effect of the tissue. Two-hundred and seven DE genes were identified for growth, 5.816 for hepatopancreas and muscle and 1.017 for ill and healthy animals.

The theme of this research is the conformation of the new production of science, especially that realized in the ambit of the seven National Institutes of Science and Technology of São Carlos (city of the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil). From the theoretical point of view, this study is part of the field of Social Studies of Science and Technology, seeking in the Sociology of Science theoretical elements that allow us to understand the complexities of the new modes of producing scientific knowledge. The research was guided by the following question: do the science, technology and innovation indicators of the São Carlos’ INCTs point to changes in the form of production of science after its implementation? The hypotheses were that the São Carlos’ INCTs provided: a) the strengthening of university interaction with the productive sector and the transfer of knowledge produced; and b) the impact on society in terms of scientific education and dissemination of science. The general objective was to identify and evaluate ST&I indicators of the São Carlos’ INCTs, which allowed examining the dynamics of knowledge production and the scientific, educational and social impacts achieved since the implementation of this Program in São Carlos. The following specific objectives were also established: 1) to seek in the theoretical framework of Sociology of Science elements that allow to understand the organization of the scientific community, the forms of production of knowledge and the policies of science, technology and innovation; 2) to describe the profile of the INCTs, placing them in the main teaching and research institutions of São Carlos-SP; 3) analyze the dynamics of the INCTs from five dimensions: advancement of knowledge; Networking; Transfer of knowledge to society; Advancement of competence and internationalization; 4) to analyze the scientific and technological production and networks of scientific collaboration of the principal investigators of the INCTs; 5) identify the practice, results and impact of education and scientific dissemination within the scope of the INCTs; and 6) present the coordinators’ perception of this new configuration and organization of science and its impacts on society. The research is an exploratory and descriptive case study developed based on quantitative and qualitative approaches, through bibliometric and scientometric analyzes, social networks analysis, and the analysis of the perceptions of the coordinators obtained with the questionnaire. The methodological procedures involved data collection from different sources (Curriculum Lattes, Project Monitoring Reports and other documents) and questionnaire application to the INCT coordinators. Among the main results obtained are the high index of international bibliographic production published by the INCT in the period between 2009 and 2013, with emphasis on scientific articles and works in events; the training of human resources and the involvement with activities of education and scientific dissemination, particularly in the INCTs of USP. The evaluation of the INCTs in the view of the coordinators was that these programs produced important results in terms of advancement of knowledge, training of human resources, transfer of knowledge to society, internationalization, diffusion and scientific education, contributing to society in the solution of health problems, security and energy, the environment and learning and education.

Aiming the improvement of public policies that adopt the principles of agroecology as methodologies to accomplish the rural/urban brazilian development, systematization and critical analysis of experiences becomes an indispensable tool for the development of these projects. Thus, this research chose one of the lines of action of the Projeto de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável (PDRS - Microbasins II), developed by the São Paulo State government with the Banco Mundial, whose the case chosen acts aiming the implementation of Agroforestry Systems (SAFs) for family farmers of the state. The case study was coordinate by the Cooperativa Entre Serras e Águas (CESA) which has more than 100 farmers of Bragança Paulista (SP) region, among these, fourteen were interested in the project pariticipation. The project began in September 2014 and was followed until May 2016. The project's critical analysis was made in the cross of understanding perspective and agroecological sociology, based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The systematization of perceptions of the actors involved in the project and the author critical analysis pointed to a project that still needs to evolve especially as the issues of: empowerment methodologies farmers; incorporate agroecological concepts in project design; further explore the possibilities of environmental compliance through agroforestry systems respecting the brazilian law; incorporate the social, ecological and economic dimensions in building a design adapted to the reality of farmers; dialogic action, emancipatory and continued by the Technical Assistance; and creating an appropriate market for the products generated that achieve the objective of marketing incentive. From these and other observations, suggestions were made aimed at management of CESA on the project and improvements for future PDRS projects

Beaches of the city of Ubatuba are known for their high number of endemic fish species and are characterized as an important spawning area for many fishes from distinct oceanic zones. Many of the beaches in the region have sandy bottom, a feature that makes them dynamic environments with a great variety of marine species. The surf zone ichthyofauna of sandy beaches of the state of São Paulo is still little studied, and there aren’t many published works on the subject. The present study aimed to survey the structure of the ichthyofauna present in the surf zone of Praia da Almada in the seasonal, circadian and spatial contexts, as well as to verify its importance as a nursery. Diurnal and nocturnal samples were collected seasonally at each collection point along the beach for two years. Salinity, water and air temperatures were also measured. Fish were identified at the lowest possible taxonomic level, weighed and measured. Data were grouped by season, period (day or night) and point of collection for analysis of the seasonal, circadian and spatial variations. A total of 1483 individuals from 30 species and 13 families were collected. Menticirrhus littoralis, Trachinotus carolinus, Umbrina coroides, Trachinotus goodei, Atherinella brasiliensis and Atherinella blackburni were considered very common in relation to the relative frequency of occurrence, with the former three being the most abundant in the study. Although abundant and constant, A. brasiliensis is classified as endangered in the state of São Paulo, and its abundance in Praia da Almada indicates that this species seems to find refuge in this beach of Ubatuba. Other species showed seasonal occurrence, such as Engraulis anchoita and Hyporhamphus unifasciatus, which occurred exclusively in fall. The highest values of the Margalef Diversity Index (DMg) were recorded in the fall. Winter was the least abundant season and with greater dominance, while summer was the most abundant. The total biomass was 5044.88 g, almost 40% of which concentrated in spring, while winter presented the lowest biomass. There are slightly more species at night than in the day, but without conspicuous variations in abundance and biomass. One of the main results of this work is the confirmation that the surf zone of this type of beach serves as refuge and nursery for many species of fish, due to the expressive amount of juvenile found.

In Brazil the coffee production is performed mostly in full sun and, only regions that traditionally suffer from Frost, as the Southeast and South and in some localities of the North and Northeast where there is high air temperature it is common practice of afforestation of the coffee plantations. In recent decades the Brazilian coffee production has gone through several modifications, in the search for more sustainable crop systems, both in the productive and economic aspects, but especially in the use and conservation of natural resources. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the spatial distribution of trees in the chemical and physical attributes of soil and productivity of the coffee tree shading. Chapter 1. The experimental design was of randomized blocks in factorial scheme 4 x 2, with four repetitions. The first factor was the location of sampling points of soil in shaded coffee plantation, determined by two points on the same line of planting trees (D1L - one meter away from the trunk of the tree and D6L - six meters away from the trunk of the tree) and parallel to these two points located in the planting of trees leading (D1E and D6E). The second factor was the soil sampling depth: 0 - 0,20 and 0,20 - 0,40 meters. The greatest soil mechanical resistance to penetration were observed in point D1L and D1E. The lowest pH value and the highest content of aluminum in the soil was found in the line of planting of trees in point D1L. The spatial distribution of trees did not alter the moisture and the levels of organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, which have remained within the ranges considered appropriate for coffee cultivation. Chapter 2. The experimental design used was randomized blocks with four treatments and six replications: 1) D1L - coffee trees located in the planting of trees line the one meter away from the trunk of vii the tree; 2) D6L - coffee trees located in the planting of trees line the six meters away from the trunk of the tree; 3) D1E - coffee trees located between the lines of trees, parallel to D1L point; and 4) D6E - coffee trees located between the lines of trees, parallel to D6L point. Was evaluated the effect of the spatial distribution of trees in production and agronomic characteristics of the coffee tree (height, diameter and length of the branch plagiotrópico), in Chade system. There was no effect of spatial distribution of trees on the agronomic characteristics or in coffee production in the system evaluated

This work aims at the production of knowledge about Occupational Therapy in Brazil. This subject is explored by means of the current view of the scientific profile and the historical course of the profession from written and oral sources, reflecting on knowledge, conceptions and perspectives produced by occupational therapists up to the present time, including external and internal forces that make up the production of knowledge and action fields. The objective of this research is to understand the processes of production of knowledge about Brazilian Occupational Therapy by means of professional trajectories, theoretical and methodological production, conceptions and perspectives. It is about an exploratory research of a subject that is supposed to be revised nowadays with a qualitative and participant approach bringing the participants to the dialogue and composition of the text. Plural methodological procedures, articulated and compound, have been included at the presentation of results. Researchers who invest on general subjects of the Brazilian Occupational Therapy have been identified through a mapping process. Two identified researchers and three occupational therapists indicated by them are the interlocutors of this work, because of their production of dialogues about Brazilian Occupational Therapy in a comprehensive way. These interlocutors have been interviewed to get to know their trajectories, conceptions, perspectives and production about Occupational Therapy. Historical routes, challenges about the profession in Brazil, their construction of knowledge and debate on identity have been presented. It reflects about fundamentals, epistemology and theoretical and methodological perspectives, objects of study, concepts, conceptions and knowledge of Occupational Therapy in Brazil along history and at the present time. The aim is to value the diversity of expressions, stories and the interlocutors' individual production as well as to relate to their trajectories and experiences in knowledge production, which currently contribute for the composition of the net of knowledge about the profession. By means of their individual trajectory and its context, it is possible to find connections and instigating components for knowledge production about the profession. By gathering action fields, knowledge areas, references, support nets and other interlocutors, it has been possible to map part of the composition of the net of knowledge production of the profession at the present time. Some changes and transformation have been observed in the way of conceiving a profession, of acting and producing knowledge which influences on the national identity of Occupational Therapy and its epistemologic construction. It has been possible to explore the field, make up stories, memories, trajectories and reflect on produced knowledge about the profession in Brazil, thus, conceiving history and memory as collective and social constructions, identifying this way, producers and interlocutors of this knowledge and outstanding connection points in their trajectory, valuing knowledge production about Brazilian Occupational Therapy, and contributing for a discussion around general knowledge about the profession, its fundamentals, epistemology, identity, concepts, conceptions and perspectives, theoretical and methodological, in the Brazilian and contemporary context.

Mangroves are ecological systems at the interface between marine and terrestrial regions and subjected to natural disturbances of the stressful environment and anthropogenic actions due to urban development. The mangrove of the Rio Sergipe suffers high environmental pressure because this river, in addition to bathe the capital of the State of Sergipe and other cities in the region, is surrounded by agricultural areas and aquaculture tanks. The objective of this work was to analyze the state of conservation of this mangrove considering the structure of the vegetation, human interference by the presence and quantification of trash and burrows of crabs, regeneration capacity through the quantification of individuals regenerating and elaboration of environmental vulnerability map. The results obtained show that the mangrove vegetation of Rio Sergipe presents, for the most part, good condition considering their structure and composition. Aspects such as the presence and number of burrows of crabs give indications of anthropogenic interference. Environmental vulnerability analysis demonstrated a high degree of susceptibility considering the set of information about the type, use and occupation of the soil, geology, geomorphology and climate. Considering the set of information in this paper can be considered that the mangrove forest of Rio Sergipe is in good condition, but is susceptible to anthropogenic interference of various natures because of their degree of vulnerability and the occupation and human exploration. So it is recommended if intense surveillance and awareness of the importance of the mangrove forest.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the network structure of automotive companies linked by cross-shareholding, joint ventures, manufacturing contracts and alliances, from 2004 to 2012. The study also explored how the network structure affects the competition in the field. Design/methodology/approach: The sample involved 3695 dyads. Based on this data, it was possible to build and assess networks using Gephi and UCINET software. The study considered network analysis metrics such as centrality, group and network densities temporally. Thus, associated with a contextual and longitudinal analysis, the construction of sociograms allowed visualization of the interactional structure and the automakers’ position in the field. Findings: Results showed that the internationalization and growth of automakers and suppliers are made possible through these relationships among companies (cross-shareholding, joint ventures, manufacturing contracts and alliances). Connections may generate greater power, access to resources and market opportunities. It also enhanced the elaboration of inferences about how these resources influence the competition in the field. Originality/value: The increasing importance of this relational resource shapes the industry competitive structure, which is composed of cooperative and competitive relationships found in meso-level orders.
