The process of recognition, identification and attendance to the student with High Abilities is something still seen by the school system in a very complex way, full of barriers and exclusion to the most capable student. Given this reality, this thesis presents a general objective of longitudinal analysis of the process of recognition, identification and attendance of a student with indicators of High Abilities/Giftedness in the multifaceted view of Multiple Intelligences. Specific objectives include: (i) to explorer and evaluating student identification procedures in the precocity phase; (ii) to develop and describe a procedure for identifying and assisting students with High Abilities/Giftedness in the multifunctional resource room; (iii) to organize strategies that facilitate the pedagogical practice of the Special Education teacher in the care of the student with High Abilities/Giftedness; (iv) investigate the teacher's conception of the regular classroom in having a student with High Abilities/Giftedness; (v) to analyze the conception of the Special Education teacher in relation to the attendance of the student with High Abilities/Giftedness in the multifunctional resource room; (vi) to investigate the consequences of the process of acceleration in the trajectory of the student; (vii)to analyze the conception of the parents in relation to the academic trajectory of the student. The research took place from 2012 to 2016, during which time the student from five to nine years old was accompanied. This study was based on the Longitudinal Non-Experimental Survey, with case study delineation. Participants included a student, his parents, his teacher of Early Childhood Education, his teacher of the 2nd year of Elementary School and his teacher of Special Education. For data collection, interviews, questionnaires and questionnaires were used. The Research had as theoretical foundation the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The data analyzes were carried out from a screening of student identification with high skills/gifted indicators and from interviews to ascertain the parents 'and teachers' conceptions about the student with High Abilities/Giftedness. As results, at five years of age, the student presented indicators of precocity. These characteristics were continuous and frequent; thus, it was concluded that the manifestation of precocity was one of the indicators for the identification of high skills/giftedness of the student. The process of acceleration according to the conception of parents and the teacher of Special Education occurred in a positive way, providing the student with motivation and enthusiasm to attend school. The Specialized Educational Attendance held in the multifunctional resource room occurred from 2012 to 2016, as a form of enrichment. From the evaluation triage the student was identified as a student with High Abilities/Academic giftedness, above average capacity in the areas of Language (oral and written), Mathematics, Space, Science and Technology.

The work is dedicated to the study of the açaí pulp chain in northeastern Pará, which is the main production region of the Brazilian açaí. Despite the growth of açaí fruit collection and processing, there is a set of elements that delay the competitiveness of this chain, and the research problem that the work sought to answer was what are the determining factors and what are the critical factors for the competitiveness of the açaí chain. The main objective is to describe and evaluate the impact of the main determinants of the competitiveness of the production chain of the açaí pulp, with focus on the rural production and the processing links. It is provided a characterization of the chain, an identification and evaluation of the main factors of competitiveness and guidelines for future public policies and private strategies. The theoretical basis considered for the research comprises an approach on competitiveness, agrichain and factors of competitiveness. The method used for the execution of the research was the Rapid Appraisal, where semi-structured questionnaires were elaborated for the agents. The main key agents taken into consideration were: açaí producers (farming and extrativism); middleman; representatives of organizations; directors of processing companies and artisan açaí processors. The competitiveness factors defined for this study were: inputs, technology, market structure, governance structure and coordination of the chain, storage and transport and institutional environment. The results achieved are limited to the sample intentionally considered. For the agents of the production link, the factors that positively impact the chain are the technology, market structure and governance structure and coordination of the chain. In the perception of the agents of the processing link, the factors inputs, technology, market structure, governance structure and coordination, storage and transport and institutional environment are neutral for competitiveness. The main critical factors for the competitiveness of the chain were: labor costs, idle fruit processing, conditions and safety of ports and highways, access to credit and better market rates, legalization of the production’s areas, lack of government actions and chagas disease.

This paper proposes a family of distributions Power Series k-Modified from to model sets of count data which have or not any discrepancy in the frequency of observation k in relation to the distribution associated Power Series. Is understood as a modification, inclusion of a parameter in the mass function of probability of the distribution Power Series, making this new family of distributions able to adequately model the data set in cases where there is excess (inflation), poor (deflation) the absence or even when the frequency of the observations k is according to the distribution power series. For this new family of distributions are presented some properties as the distribution functions, Statistics Order among others, besides contextualizes it as mixing model and place it in the context of regression models. The distributions considered for the construction of this new family will be uni-parametric distributions belonging to the Power Series family, whose probability mass function can be written in terms of their average.

This job had as objective Reflect and reaffirm Education as a political act and democracy. The studies conducted evidence we are living in times of setback regression, marked by loss of rights and by the productions of impotence and suffering: the capitalist Western rationality has produced, in this way, atomized, fragile individuals and the idea that changing reality is impossible. Although this context contributes to the construction of conformed subjectivities, we perceive History as a possibility in which men and women are subjects of change and resistance in midst of forces that act, simultaneously, in a regulatory and emancipatory manner. From the perspective of education as a possibility, as a result of historical time, we share powerful experiences, loaded with how to understand education as a political act, held in the sociology classes of the State School Aggêo Pereira do Amaral, located in Sorocaba, in the interior of the State of São Paulo, considering that they are tools for confronting the dynamics of servitude, prejudice, racism, fascism and machismo, intricate in the daily microrelations. Based on the theoretical dialogues and the narrated experiences, we affirm that pedagogical practices based on solidarity, dialogue and cooperation open doors to the creation of emancipatory sociability’s and constitute seeds for the construction of a world did from humanized and democratic relations. The educational processes and ongoing resistance movements shared in this research fuel the hope that another reality is possible and that social transformation will occur through collective action. In a scenario that has denied politics, we reaffirm it as an extension of life as a power.

Parabens are the most popular antimicrobials used for more than 100 years in personal care products, the most known are methylpaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben. The continued release of these antimicrobials turned them into corganic pollutants. Therefore, methods that allow quantification at low limits are important. The present study discusses the development and validation of the analytical method by direct injection of samples into solid phase extraction using liquid chromatography coupled to the mass spectrometer for determination at low levels in spring water and waste water (ng/L) from the city of São Carlos - SP. Methylparaben at 20.0 ng/L was found in river water sample from latitude 22°00’68”S, longitude: 47°90’47”W ; methylparaben at 18.0 ng/L and butylparaben 4.1 ng/L were found in urban water sample latitude: 22°02’21”S, longitude: 47°91’40”W around Monjolinho River. The attractiveness of the developed method consists of the low volume of samples and solvents required for analyses. The four parabens were quantified in the native matrix in a total run time of 9.5 min.

This research investigates movie coproductions between Brazil and France, made between 1998 and 2014, trying to assess the percourse from the international co-elaboration to the distribution of such movies in the French circuit theaters. The analysis begins with the historical antecedents of cooperation, with the French protagonism in establishing policies to integrate and disseminate its culture, a model that influences countries around the world to this day. Next, we examine the attempts by Brazilian governments to reach the external market, the beginning of the historical approximation to France, the first official co-production agreement (1969) and the current one, signed in 2010. This study also presents a wide assessment of the Brazilian movies that were released in France, using data from Brazilian and French primary sources, and looks in depth at the release and repercussion in France of four study cases: Central do Brasil (1998), Abril despedaçado (2003), both by Walter Salles; O outro lado da rua (2006) and Meu pé de laranja lima (2013), both by Marcos Bernstein. The key questions this dissertation tries to answer are: how much coproduction in fact contributes to the opening of new markets; whether French coproductors influence in the distribution of the movie in their territory; and whether Brazilian policies have advanced beyond promotion and diffusion of movies in international festivals.

Several studies have shown that the previous experience (trial 1) to the elevated plus-maze (EPM) increases the avoidance of the open arms and impairs the anxiolytic-like effect of midazolam (MDZ), a benzodiazepine-GABAA receptor agonist, in a subsequent exposure (trial 2) to the maze, a phenomenon known as "one trial tolerance" (OTT). One hypothesis is that the learning generated in the first exposure allows a change in the strategy adopted by the animal. Considering that the infralimbic region (IL) of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) would be involved in neuroendocrine modulation induced by stress, this study investigated the effects of intra-mPFC injection (region IL) of RU28318 (mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, MR) in the memory acquisition and consolidation phase, in the tolerance to MDZ effects in mice exposed to the trial 1 and trial 2 in the LCE. Male Swiss mice (n = 8-12 per group) were used, and when necessary, bilateral cannulae were surgically implanted bilaterally in the IL region of the mPFC. Experiment 1: The animals of each group received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of saline or MDZ (2mg/kg) and after 30 minutes were exposed to trial 1 for 5 minutes in the EPM. After 24 hours, the mice received either systemic injection of saline or MDZ (2mg/kg) and 30 minutes later they were individually exposed to trial 2 in the LCE for 5 minutes. Experiment 2 (acquisition phase): After four days of recovery the subjects of each group received intra-mPFC injection of vehicle or RU28318 (5 ou 10ng/0,1μl) and were exposed to trial 1 for 5 minutes. After 24 hours, each mouse received systemic injection (intraperitoneal, i.p.) of saline or midazolam (2mg/kg) and 30 minutes later was individually exposed to the Trial 2. Experiment 3 (consolidation phase): After four days of recovery the subjects of each group were exposed to the EPM test for 5 minutes and subsequently received intra-mPFC injection of vehicle or RU28318 (5 or 10ng/0.1μl). After 24 hours, the mice received either systemic injection of vehicle or MDZ (2mg/kg) and 30 minutes later they were individually exposed to trial 2 in the EPM for 5 minutes. The injection MDZ produced anxiolytic-like effect in animals exposed to the trial 1 to the EPM, characterized by increased exploration in the open arms and reduction of risk assessment behaviors without affecting the locomotor activity. This effect was abolished in the retest, confirming the OTT. Two-way ANOVA that intra-mPFC infusion of RU28318 did not modify any behavior in trial 1. However, it was observed that when administered prior to EPM, it reestablished the anxiolytic effect of MDZ administered prior to retest. When infused after the test period, RU28318 did not modify the OTT phenomenon for the MDZ. The MR antagonism in the IL region of the mPFC, seems to interfere with the memory acquisition phase but not the consolidation phase. Thus, we suggest that MR blockade of the IL region of the mPFC may interfere with the acquisition, but not the consolidation, appropriate information during trial, influencing the OTT phenomenon.

The conservation of biodiversity is crucial, but it is still an ambitious challenge in the development of Government Policies in the context of cities management. There has never been a study of the wildlife in rural areas in the city of Capivari-SP; in addition, just a few environmental education initiatives were developed with regards to this subject within the scope of municipal school education. In this sense, this work aims to analyze the biodiversity and wildlife conceptions from elementary school students in a rural school in the city of Capivari and employees of the region's mills and factories. It also aims to understand the strategies that teachers on this same school use to touch on the matter of conservation of biodiversity and regional wildlife with the students, in order to develop a process of participatory construction of an educational space in a perspective of critical environmental education, aiming at conservation of the jaguar (Puma concolor). In addition, a secondary study of wildlife in the rural area of the city was carried out using tools such as drawings and questionnaires completed by the participants of the research and also by searching for directly and indirectly traces for one month. The research was conducted in a qualitative approach and used as instruments of data collection questionnaires and focus groups with the students, interviews with the teachers and visitors of the educator space, and questionnaires with the workers of the São José mill. As a result of the students conceptions study, we observed that the students of the 5th and 4th year do not know how to explain what biodiversity and wildlife are, but they do know how to draw animals from the wild fauna that they have seen in the region, the teachers of the 4th and 5th year of the municipal school only use the content of the books adopted by the city government and the projects given by the Municipal Education Department, but it did not carry out environmental education projects in 2016 that aimed at the conservation of wildlife in the city. The educational space has a great participation from the school community, residents of the neighborhood and students from other schools. It is clear that the population encourages and supports the creation of spaces like this. Employees of the mill, when encountering a specimen of brown jaguar, would call the responsible bodies and not injure the animal. As a result of the preliminary study of the wildlife the following animals were found: otter, Tayra, maned wolf, anteater, small-tailed cat, jaguarondi, coati, bush dog, skunk and capybara.

Anxiety is a fundamental emotional phenomenon, essential within the affective repertoire and its importance for the understanding of the emotional behaviors of the individuals promoted the development of preclinical studies that contribute to the understanding of the neurobilogical bases involved in this modulation. Studies have demonstrated the involvement of the amygdaloid complex in emotional behaviors related to anxiety and that and GABAA-benzodiazepine receptors play important role in the modulation of anxiety and nociception in animal models. Cohabiting with chronic pain produces an increase in anxiety in the observer mouse, these evidences support that through anxiety-like responses it is possible to observe the existence of emotional behavior present among the animals, characterized as empathy-like behaviors. This study investigated the effects of systemic and intra-amygdala injection of midazolam (MDZ), a GABAA-benzodiazepine receptor agonist, on the modulation of anxiety induced by cohabiting with a cagemate in neuropathic pain in mice exposed to the elevated plus-maze (EPM). For this, male Swiss mice were housed in pairs and after 14 days were divided into two groups: cagemate nerve constriction (CNC), in which one animal from each pair was subjected to sciatic nerve constriction; cagemate sham (Sham), one animal from each pair was subjected to the same surgery but without constriction and in the 28th day, the observer cagemates were submitted to EPM for five minutes. Experiment 1: the observer cagemates received systemic injections of saline or midazolam (0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, i.p.) and 30 minutes after were exposed to elevated plus-maze. Experiment 2: In the 23th day, bilateral cannulae were surgically implanted in the amygdala of the observer cagemate and in the 28th day, the observer cagemate received intra-amygdala injections of saline or midazolam (3 e 30 nmol/0,1µl) and 5 minutes after were exposed EPM. Two-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Duncan test revealed that living with a cagemate in neuropathic pain is able to increase anxiety-like behavior in mice, suggesting the influence that cohabiting with nociception causes in the observer cagemate. In the experiment 1, MDZ (1,0 e 2,0 mg/Kg) was able to produces anxiolytic-like effect on the EPM, characterized by increase the open arms exploration and decrease risk assessment-like behaviors, with the absence of significant changes in locomotor activity. In the experiment 2, in the same way MDZ was able to produces anxiolytic-like effect on the EPM. These results suggests that the cohabitation with a CNC induce anxiogenic-like responses in the observer mouse and the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex located within the amygdala participates in modulation of anxiety-induced model of empathy in mice.

Digital workers are a privileged category for understanding current job settings in which different ways of organizing, managing, and performing work are set. The digital worker organizes his life around projects, with flexible times and his career path and permanence in the work depends on permanent updating. The objective of the research was to analyze the relationship between work and life of digital workers, trying to understand to what extent the work of software development, with various forms of organization and time-space management, reflects on the organization of workers' private lives and Family relationships, friendship, leisure, etc. Through the occupational trajectories we try to trace workers' perceptions about life and work when they are working partially or totally in home office. To meet the research objectives, we conducted 53 semi-structured interviews, of which only 29 interviews were selected for discussion in this thesis. The criterion for selection sought those that represented the diversity of the empirical field in terms of gender cut, work places, types of contractual ties, types of activities performed, size of company and because they represent a diverse picture of work experiences In home office. We note a diversity of home office work arrangements practiced by digital workers. Work is done more at home than in the office, since the workers take advantage of the times saved due to the absence of displacements, intervals of snacks and rest, to continue carrying out the activities. Turning off the computer does not mean disconnecting from the job. The feeling of loneliness and the fear of becoming invisible to the office staff are grounds for digital workers to refuse (if they have a choice) work in home office or wish to leave the modality; Workers with more career time tend to resist (micro resistance) the excesses of demands and to work going through all the free time. Male representations of the presence of women in the sector are surrounded by gender stereotypes. The justifications of which particular occupations are most appropriate for women because of their gender markers (detailed, attentive, etc.) are recurrent among men.

The framework presented here proposes to share a cartography of the processes and paths of the deterritorialization and reterritorialization of Coletivo Cê. It is also a scratch to the surface about the knowledge of experience and ethical, aesthetic and political movements in research about education. We will present ways that allowed a research carried out from the perspective of implication, requiring a vibrating body and implied in the research. The author of this research has been working on the Coletivo Cê for more than seven years. The Coletivo Cê is a group of artists who research the language of theater, in the city of Votorantim, São Paulo. This research goal was to trace the processes and routes from the year of its foundation in 2009 to the present day. Within this proposal, there was also a close look at the concepts of authors who lead and compose the living and pulsating picture of cartography, such as Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Suely Rolnik, Jacques Ranciére, Jorge Larrosa Bondía, Paulo Freire, sociologist Boaventura de Souza Santos and others who believe in the work of thought as a vibrating space of our urgencies. An intellectual production in the field of Education, proposing cartography as an aesthetic possibility for the urgencies that plague us, able to understand the "educate" mediated by artistic actions of cultural collectives groups, which can become a practice of social transformation for the emancipation of people.

The work carried out by recyclable waste pickers is of great importance, not only for the reuse of the materials, but also for their benefit to the environment, reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills and landfills. Despite the significant work done by the collectors, it is verified that in the recycling chain these are the least benefited. The reasons for this are diverse, such as the organizational and infrastructure precariousness of the enterprises, the lack of support and recognition for the service provided to society, the action of the intermediaries who buy the materials at very low prices, among others. In order to improve the participation of the collectors in the recycling chain, some initiatives are being taken, such as the formation of cooperation networks of solid economic enterprises, which among the objectives is to strengthen the way of work and performance of the collectors. Based on this idea, Rede Anastácia was created in the central region of the state of São Paulo and Alta Mogiana, which is a regional network of collectors of recyclable materials that counts on the participation of eight cooperatives located in different municipalities of the state. In this way, a research was conducted with the Rede Anastácia, from May / 2015 to October / 2016, which used the exploratory method, with direct observation of a qualitative approach, through a visit to cooperatives, photographic records, analyzes Of documents, participation in meetings and activities, in order to identify and evaluate the limits and potentialities of the formation and operation of cooperation networks. As results, information on cooperative characteristics, creation and formalization of the network, its main articulations (meetings and activities) to strengthen cooperatives, the expectations of the collectors to belong to the network and the main limits and potentialities were obtained. Among the limitations identified are the need for improvements in the infrastructure of cooperatives; The distance between them and the lack of standardization in the types of materials sorted and detailed record on productivity, which ends up hampering joint marketing actions. As potentialities: there was an increase in the exchange of information among cooperatives; Greater possibility of participation in projects of technical and financial incentive; Greater political representativeness; Conducting joint sales; Participation in reverse logistics systems, among others. Regarding the collectors' expectations of belonging to the network, it was verified that they believe that there may be an improvement in the valorization and recognition of the work done by the collector, greater possibility of realizing joint marketing and verticalization of materials, among other aspects.

The level of cortisol is considered as a measure of people’s stress. We perform an statistical analysis of the data from a study conducted to evaluate if children that work on the streets during the day have higher stress than children who does not work. The cortisol level of a person can be considered as an increasing function until reaching a maximum level and then decreasing to almost zero (quasi-concave function). Children’s cortisol were collected 4 times in one day, where two groups of children were considered: those who work in the street and those who stay at home. To analyse the data we considered a meta-analysis of a functional data model under Bayesian approach. Each individual is analysed by a functional data model,and then, a meta-analysis was used to have inference for each group. We used the Gibbs Metropolis-Hastings method to sample from the posteriori distribution. Also,we calculated the pointwise posterior probability of the cortisol function of one group being greater than the cortisol function of other group to compare the groups.

This present research was conducted by whttps://repositorio.ufscar.br/admin/item?itemID=10496ater removal assays related to dewatering and drying of sewage sludge steps. In relation to the first, it was used Drainage Bed (DB) prototype in lab scale (studies of drainage) and in pilot scale (studies of evaporation). It was used anaerobic sludge from UASB reactor, whose dewatering results about studies of drainage, varying three types of geotextile blanket and height of sludge layer, showed that the HaTe® 55/55 UV blanket brought greater drainage capacity, although the analyses results about drained liquid quality was worse in apparent color, turbidity and conductivity when compared to other blankets experienced. In studies of evaporation in DB it was possible to verify and discuss the relation of climate variables with moisture loss, mainly in relation to precipitation, air relative humidity and temperature. Moreover, due to the turning applied, it was observed that, when is made, higher Total Solids (TS) content is obtained in the sludge sample in shorter time than when the turning is not applied. With regard to the drying step, it was conducted biodrying assays, whose methods e results was separated in abroad and Brazil. In the assays conducted abroad (lasting 14 days) it was used mixed sludge (originated from anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic sewage treatment) and wood chips ( 7,1mm) as bulking agent, in proportion of 2:1 (v/v). The results showed that biodrying process promote the removal of bound water (interstitial, surface and intracellular) from sludge and that the turning applying during the biodrying is fundamental to retake biological activity and, thus, increase the temperature again and obtain final sample with higher TS content. At the end, the reactor which resulted in biodried product with higher TS content (reactor Biossecagem II) reached 63,1% of TS, with High Heating Value (HHV) of 17551,9kJ/kgTS, being superior to many parameters found in literature consulted. About the biodrying assays conducted in Brazil (UFSCar), they lasted 20 days and was performed using anaerobic sludge (UASB) previously dewatered in DB, mixed with wood chips (5-15mm) in 5:4 (v/v) proportion, with turning in 6th, 12th, 15th and 18th days. The results also confirmed the occurrence of biological activity, but did not reached themophilic conditions. To this behavior, it was suggested as reason the use of dewatered sludge in natural system (DB) or anaerobic sludge, both situations still not reported in the literature for biodrying process. In the reactor with the best behavior (reactor Biossecagem B) it was obtained final TS content of 47,4%, with HHV of 14661kJ/kgTS and Low Heating Value (LHV) of 14659,9kJ/kgTS. Furthermore, this thesis reports and compiles data from biodrying assays of sewage sludge found in the literature in a synthesis table, as well as discuss and compare the numerous variables and their implications in the process.

In the last years the concerns about the resistance acquired by pathogenic microorganisms has increased due to large misuse of antibiotics and agricultural products. Research about new alternatives and natural antimicrobial agents allows, at least, a partial replacement of synthetic drugs. The interest in studying the biological activities of propolis has gained importance due to its great antimicrobial potential, which is attributed to phenolic compounds, especially to the flavonoids. In this sense, the propolis appears as an important therapeutic alternative. The antimicrobial action of this resin has been confirmed in several studies; however, an analysis of the mechanism of action is still scarce. Thus, to identify the presence of antibacterial constituents along with the analyzes by atomic force microscope (AFM), that allows evaluating modifications of the bacterial structures treated with propolis extract, were the main aims of this work. Extracts with different proportions of water and ethanol were prepared and simultaneously processed following standards. The extracts were characterized related to their composition and antibacterial property against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria. It was observed that the use of higher concentrations of ethanol in the extract production provided higher extractions of flavonoids and better antibacterial effects. Thus, the best results were attained by the ethanolic extract of propolis, composed of 100% ethanol (EEP), and conversely, the less efficient extract, composed of lower concentrations of flavonoids, was the aqueous one (EAP). The results obtained in the analyzes in FTIR and HPLC confirm a greater presence of flavonoids in the extracts with higher levels of ethanol. Regarding the microscopic analysis, the EEP was selected for analysis considering its better antibacterial capacity. For a satisfactory inhibition of the E. coli growth a more concentrated extract was necessary, leading to an increase in cell volume, and a probable occurrence of bacteriolysis and the occurrence of cellular damages. In general, the propolis showed to have action on the cellular structure of both bacteria, leading to inhibition of microbial growth.

With the growth of urban population and the increase of the vehicle fleet, Brazilian cities face urban dysfunction problems like congestion, environmental pollution, car accidents among others and its consequences are felt by citizens. With the institution of the PNMU - Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana (National Urban Mobility Policy), Brazil has sought to direct the planning of solutions for the urban transportation of people and cargo in an integrated and sustainable way The literature shows a lack of national research focused on planning and local policies of urban freight and better understanding of the authorities on the freight transportation and supply chains, for decision-making on policy and planning Urban Freight Transport (UFT). The practices and concepts of City Logistics intend optimal solutions for goods handling issues in urban areas. In this context, the use of City Logistics (CL) practices in Brazilian cities was investigated. Therefore, the contents related to UFT and CL were analyzed in the PlanMobs – Planos de Mobilidade Urbana (Urban Mobility Plans) elaborated by these cities. Additionally was produced a data collection (survey research), with those responsible for the preparation/review of PlanMobs. This research identifies the resources used in the UFT planning, the CL practices adopted and the perceptions of the municipal authorities about the UFT and CL. The results showed that the LU is still neglected and appears not to be the focus of the authorities who have developed the PlanMob. The lack of local authorities’ specific skills, with the low use of planning resources makes it impossible to achieve the LU goals.

Throughout its history, the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) has builtdifferent ways of making life possible in its rural settlements in order to generate income, stay in the countryside and care for nature, for both issues and organization Of the territory, production and commercialization gained body through the proposals of agricultural cooperation and agroecology. From this context, since the end of 2011, the Mário Lago settlement, located in Ribeirão Preto / SP, has leveraged agroforestry and commercialization, becoming an important reference for the experiences of other rural settlements in the country. Therefore, the general objective of this work was to identify and analyze commercialization strategies adopted by the families involved and to reflect on the economic, social and political implications that involve the life of the subjects of this process, highlighting potential and difficulties, the specific objectives were to identify the possibilities To the country's rural settlements; Describe the strategies used by the farmers of the "Mário Lago" settlement; To carry out a survey of primary data, which were addressed to issues such as: products traded in agroforestry containing variety and quantities; Of the average incomeper farmer within the marketing strategy adopted, among others. The research was exploratory with analysis of secondary data and primary data collection with 25 families interviewed. From the data, the SWOT analysis was applied (FOFA) and it was concluded that the experience of the commercialization via agroforestry baskets represented an important increase in the income of the producers that market it and provided autonomy to the farming families; Thus, this form of commercialization becomes an important reference for other possible experiences in settlements in the state of São Paulo.A

At last years due to increasing use of composite materials of synthetic fibers with thermosetting matrix, several alterative have been sought trying to minimize the impacts generated by both the dispose of this material at the end of their useful life and by its heavy dependency of non-renewable resources as petroleum based products for the production of raw materials. As alternative to introduce composites materials that have least environmentally impact natural fibers have drawn attention of researchers. In this work the aim is to manufacture by vacuum infusion process, composite laminates hybrid adding woven jute fiber in structural weaving fiberglass with epoxy resin matrix. The quality of laminate was analyzed by fiber weight fraction determining and thermal analysis by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis). It was possible to manufacture hybrids laminates by vacuum infusion with fiber fraction in about 60%. Hybrids laminates presented had a reduction of density of 20% with relation to the glass reinforced plastic. Regarding to mechanical properties, the laminates were characterized by tensile, compression and ILSS testing. With respect to hybrid laminates, the better results of tensile properties such as strength and young's modulus was achieved by the laminates with fiber oriented in 0/90° (H0/90) with maximum strength value near to 200 MPa, while for orientation ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) the strength results were 68 MPa and 84 MPa, respectively. In this case can be highlighted the hybrid laminate H45, whose tensile strength (83,9 MPa) has not present significant changes with the introduction of jute fiber (with increase of 60% its thickness) compared with glass reinforced plastic (84,5 MPa) for the same fiber orientation. For compressive strength the best result was presented by the laminates H0/90 (fibers in 0/90°) as well, with values close to 150 MPa while the laminates to ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) presented values of 90 MPa. Regarding to ILSS the variation of strength was smaller, 25 MPa to direction 0/90° and 23 MPa and 21 MPa to H45 and H45//0/90 laminates, respectively. Therefore, mechanical properties were significantly influenced by plies orientation in the laminates and by the hybridization with jute fibers.

This study aims to study the Secondary School of Doctor Dario Pacheco Pedroso, created in 1970 in Taquarivaí, then Itapeva district, São Paulo and incorporated in 1994 to the State Center of Technological Education Paula Souza. This object is analyzed from the historical trajectory of agricultural education in Brazil, from the Municipality, where the school was installed and from the school itself, aiming to understand its administrative organization and the pedagogical proposal developed by the institution. The results show that agricultural education underwent changes, according to educational policies, elaborated according to the demands of each historical context. It was during the period of the military civil dictatorship in Brazil, in the scenario of conservative modernization, that the institution analyzed here was created. The implementation of technical courses in agriculture contributed to the formation of skilled labor in the Taquarivai region, enabling its development and participation in the process of agricultural expansion in the state of São Paulo, as well as influencing the professional growth of students graduates

The objective of this dissertation was to identify the marketing strategies used in selected agroecological proximity markets associated with the perception and the profile of the consumers of these sites, and the specific objectives (1) to compare the strategies of marketing mix and environmental marketing that are currently adopted , At the Terra Viva Fair in the city of Belo Horizonte / MG; At the Agroecological Fair Raízes do Campo in Jaboticatubas / MG; And, in the Mercadinho "Tá caindo fulô" in the district of Santana do Riacho / MG; (2) identify the main barriers faced in such proximity markets to market agro-ecological products from the perspective of consumers; And (3) identify the behavior and profile the consumer of agroecological products in relation to the marketing mix and environmental marketing variables in the proximity markets surveyed. For the theoretical reference the concepts of agroecology, solidary economy, organic agriculture, marketing strategies, Environmental Marketing, Social and 3.0 were discussed. The survey method used was the Survey. The technique of data collection used was documentary research, direct observation and questionnaire with primary data collection. For the analysis of the results we used descriptive statistical analysis, comparative quantitative analysis, multivariate cluster analysis and cluster / local segmentation, and chi-square tests to verify the dependence between variables. With the results it was possible to identify that the markets studied have specific marketing strategies, without, however, having prior planning for their executions. Environmental and Social Marketing is perceived as transversal in all actions of the sites and Marketing 3.0 was observed in the three sites. Regarding consumers' understanding of agroecological products, it has been suggested that not all consumers of the sites surveyed know everything about the agroecological product and not everyone is completely unaware of the products. With the multivariate analysis of Cluster it was possible to identify 2 clusters being called "Consumers closer to agroecological knowledge" and "Sustainable Consumers and less close to agroecological knowledge. In addition, in order to contribute to the elaboration of marketing strategies for each group, the segmentation of the consumers considering site / cluster was carried out, thus allowing to identify the profile of the consumers in relation to the variables of marketing mix and environmental marketing. From this research it was evidenced that the study of marketing strategies, consumer behavior and the use of quantitative analyzes (such as cluster analysis and market segmentation) has the potential to identify the real perceptions of consumers in relation to markets And assertively define the limitations of the sites and which strategies are most appropriate to both meet the needs and desires of the consumers, achieve the goals of the organizations with regard to social and environmental changes with the use of Marketing Environmental, Social and 3.0, as well as stimulate the sale of products guaranteeing the financial viability of farmers and organizations, thus promoting the advancement of agroecology.
