The educational field is the vehicle responsible for the development of the secondary habitus and institutionalized cultural capital of individuals, promoting systematized and formal knowledge, fostering the resources of individuals in social mobility, with schools being responsible for the operationalization of the teaching process and the actions of the teacher, the figure of the agent responsible for enabling the development of students' skills and abilities, through systematized and formalized knowledge and through their teaching practices. However, all the areas of knowledge evaluated in the Enem (INEP, 2014a, 2015) presented very low results, with most averages below 600 points, with the worst rates concentrated in Mathematics: 473.5 in 2014 and 467, 9 in 2015. Situation motivated the search for successful teaching practices of Mathematics teachers, whose objective is to propose an effort to improve Mathematics teaching. Research began from the exploration of the field to find the reference schools and make the description of teaching practices within a qualitative approach, the procedures of data collection were i) the survey of secondary data to identify the reference schools, That is, schools that have the best means among their peers; Ii) the study of multicasos to better understand the teaching practices of teachers, as well as their secondary habitus and institutionalized cultural capital, besides the field in which they are inserted. At the end, it found the existence of agencies (schools) with different teaching models - full-time education, with an average of 8 to 10 hours of classes per day, with full-time teachers. Regular teaching, with average working hours of 4 to 5 hours of classes per day. As for the specialization of these teachers, there is a great disparity, since about 14% of the teachers of the full-time schools and 68% of the regular schools have only a graduation, while the other professionals have some type of specialization. The results show that the teaching practices are similar in the two working regimes, which basically use six teaching strategies: expository classes dialogues; reading and interpretation of mathematical questions; resolution of activities; laboratory experiments; process, systematic and continuous evaluations; and development of projects and participation in olympics that stimulate the competitiveness among students. At the end, it considers as the next challenge to find ways to bring these experiences to teachers, especially in the State of Pará, in order to include in the proposals of public policies.

The present work aims to analyze how female teachers from the first years of elementary school approach on gender, race-ethnicity and religion in the classroom, with a view to discussing the concepts of equality, difference and inequality. It is conceived that the universes of culture and education are connected, being it necessary that the school and its professionals are sensitive to cultures (in plural) present in this space, observing the building of bridges, the stimulus to equal dialogue and the view that the cultural differences are part of democracy, and not a problem to be overcome in the search of homogeneity. For this purpose, the question posed is: “How do teachers from the first years of elementary school approach cultural differences of gender, race-ethnicity and religion in the classroom?” The qualitative methodological approach was used, and semi-structured interviews were performed, as a means of collecting data. Additionally, interculturality was chosen as the theoretical perspective. In this study, ten elementary school teachers from a municipal school in the state of São Paulo were selected. From the analysis of data, it was possible to observe that discriminations in the school space are hardly noticed by the interviewees, and, even when they are, those teachers tend to omit themselves and/or to offer the equality discourse as a democratic principle. From this perspective, it is understood that it is common for the children to be deemed innocent and devoid of prejudice, which makes it unnecessary to promote debates on diversity issues. Such analyses show the necessity that initial and continuing education address cultural diversity issues, in order to raise awareness in those professionals, which often includes admitting one’s own prejudice in order to learn how to handle it. The present work intends to defend that this will be a possible way to face the undeniable conflicts in school, with a view to supporting the constitution of a fairer, more democratic society.

In recent years, the Pará state plywood industry, which had the most important in the country, has been undergone large changes. The main raw material of the activity, that is, the wood, has been no more obtained by means of the exploitation of native forest, but has been gradually replaced by planted forest of paricá, a region native species. In addition to possess the desirable technological characteristics for plywood production, the paricá has fast growth and high yield, which contribute to its use as an input into the analyzed productive chain. In order to better understand that scenario, this paper aimed analyzing the production chain paricá plywood in the state of Pará as a way of proposing policies that could increase its competitiveness in a sustainable manner. Therefore, a theoretical model based on competitiveness drivers was applied, after its adequate adjust to specificities of the investigated area. The following drivers were examined: institutional environment; market structure; governance structure; input and infrastructure; management; technology and environmental sustainability. About the links of the chain, these were: the production of paricá and its transformation into plywood. In the first, that is, in the wood production, the governance structure driver was the one that received better assessments, whereas the technology proved to be the main bottleneck. In the industrialization of plywood by its turn, three drivers presented positive assessment, with emphasis on the availability of inputs at the concerned locale. By other side, the management of factory unit configured as an obstacle to the activity, and was considered inadequate for, usual patterns. In general, the governance structure was the only driver that presented good assessments for both analyzed links, while institutional environment, management and technology constituted in the main sources of inefficiency. Therefore, these three drivers are the main bottlenecks against improving the competitiveness of the paricá plywood production chain in Para. Among the improvements that could be implemented in, public policies, stood out: debureaucratization of access to credit; creation of the State Fund for Forests to encourage research and investments. Among private policies, it was suggested that industries organize themselves by representations and invest in the people qualification and the reform of the technological park.

In face of the changes in the financing parameters of the Open University of Brazil System (UAB) over the course of ten years of its implementation, we established a diagnosis along with the UAB System in the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) – which is composed of five undergraduate courses, two specialization courses and improvement courses in the Distance Education modality – comparing the percentage of resources for the financing of UAB-UFSCar and the percentages of resources destined to the UAB System and the total resource for the same period, destined to the Ministry of Education (MEC) for Higher Education. The objective is to indicate to what extent, in the last 10 years, the resources destined to UAB-UFSCar are proportional to the resources received to finance the UAB and the MEC, making it possible to minimize gaps and to promote a greater vision for the use and planning of the resources destined to Distant Education. For this purpose, data collection was done from information available on government websites and official documents. Subsequently statistical tests were applied to compare the volume and progress of values of the institutions. A change in the volume of resources allocated to UAB-UFSCar in relation to the UAB System and to MEC was noted in the analyzed period, a downward trend was identified over the last two years and the same drop was presented in the amount of MEC's investment resources for the UAB System since the year 2012.

Several sites that have been altered by anthropic activities may serve as habitats of animal species; areas of pasture between fragments present some resources such as food and shelter. An important resource used by animals of various classes are termite mounds and their cavities excavated mainly by birds, such as woodpeckers. The use of cavities by birds in termites is still poorly studied, although this can contribute to the conservation and maintenance of bird populations dependent on these structures. The objective of this study was to analyze and to monitor the use of bird cavities in termites in pasture areas with different intensities of use and to identify the possible selectivity of specific characteristics of these structures as sites for nests construction. In total, 1801 termite mounds were found and analyzed, seven of which were used by the burrowing owl, Athene cunicularia, and six by the campo flicker, Colaptes campestris. As a secondary use, a single nest of C. campestris was used by the owl Megascops choliba. None of the species presented selectivity regarding to the height and width of termites used to construct the nests. The proportion of termites used by A. cunicularia did not differ between areas, but C. campestris showed a significant preference for an area without the presence of cattle. As a main recommendation, it is indicated that in the management of termite mounds in pasturelands, those with existing cavities should be maintained to guarantee the secondary use.

According to the Statistical Yearbook of 2015 of the air section, the number of flights and of passengers transported has been increasing year by year, considering the previous ten years. Even with this progressive increase on demand, the number of flight attendants hired by the airlines has remained almost constant. Many studies point to the negative consequences of this job on the health of the attendants, however, there is a gap on the literature regarding a thorough understanding of this profession. Thus, the goal of the present study is to further understand the discontinuities and contradictions in the work activity systems of the flight attendants. In this way, it is possible to identify the developed strategies and their impact on the health of the attendants and to suggest improvements and organizational changes to fulfill these needs. It was adopted the methodologic qualitative approach, based on the theoretical concepts of the Activity Ergonomy and Activity Theory. Flight attendants participated in the study representing the four major airlines operating in Brazil. It was employed a method and technique association for the data gathering, based on the activity analysis, where it was realized 37 semi-structured interviews with the participants, the filling of 38 surveys containing the ITRA (Inventário do Trabalho e Risco de Adoecimento) and 10 global observations of the activity of the attendants in real work situations. This theoretical-methodological choice allowed the understanding of the activity regarding the interaction between many actors and the context in which the activity is developed. As the result of the research, it was highlighted the discontinuities and contradictions on the work as well as the difficulties in the passenger customer service and relationship, as well as organizational aspects such as work scale and rest days. In this context, this study suggests as solution for the discussed problems organizational changes aiming at better work conditions. It also contributed to an increase on the understanding the work of the attendants, so far not explored on the literature, providing to the airlines and the regulatory agencies support for the prescription of changes, for an improvement in the work conditions.

The present work aims to outline the issue of risk, victimization and the suffering of the military police as factors that more than inherent to the profession are reinforced by the manner the public security in Brazil is structured. We show that the victimization of the military police goes far beyond death, being constituted by issues related to mental illness, persecution, exclusion, suicide, class conflicts and gender. We also bring to the discussion the problematization of the precarious working conditions to which the praças – low-ranking police officers – of the military police are subjected to, and how this reinforces the high and complex victimization situation. Finally, we identify a scenario in which there is a dispute around the truth concerning the issues that afflict the praças: on the one hand, the associations of this military police workers that intend to represent in the legal and political sphere a whole class of professionals devoided of the right to this representation. On the other hand, the parliamentarians of the so-called "bancada da bala", which use elements such as the high death rates among the military police to support political positions of hardening and militarization of public security. In a context where this issue has become a political agenda and an open discussion between the police and civil society, attempts are made to understand how this movement occurs, given that the military police is a sealed institution and its internal directives hardly become public. We analyse the role of both the praças association and the parliamentarians of “bancada da bala” on this issue. Through bibliographic review, analysis of quantitative data and semi-structured interviews, we seek to explore how the issue of police suffering is subjectivated by these professionals and what are the implications for both professionals in their personal lives and public security. It is concluded that the military police agents live a regime of exception within a democratic regime and that, therefore, they end up becoming guarantors of a social order based on the duties and not the rights.

This work is about the existence of a use of só que não, variant of só que, which, in essence, expresses speaker’s irony with respect to a preceding proposition. Our object of study originated from the internet, as numerous other expressions, what shows the innovative and refreshing role of the World Wide Web on language uses. By breaking paradigms, the Internet slang has been responsible for promoting several discussions about the degree of its influence on the writing of those still in school age. However, meeting place even in strong groups of newspaper or magazine, with national circulation, the expression só que não consists of more a case of grammaticalization. Concerning different ways of só que não occurrence, once it can appear only with its initials, for example (#)SQN, we based on Longhin-Thomazi’s study (2003a, 2003b) to analyze its behavior on syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and textual aspects, given our hypothesis was prove it as a expression with conjunction role. Therefore, we adopt a methodology that considers effective use of the language, as is usual in functionalist studies, aiming to describe real events synchronously. We thus count on the WebCorp, which can, by offering a series of filters and contextualizing redeemed occurrences, be considered a versatile tool in the search for occurrences (CAMARGO, 2012). In this sense, our analysis criteria, which are (i) position of the expression, (ii) its denial and setback, (iii) its irony, and (iv) its association with several textual genres, allowed us to achieve the following results: the expression prefers locate itself always after some textual portion, what means that só que não acts over a piece of information located immediately before of it; all of our occurrences emphasize that both expectations drop and irony are product of its presence; and its recurrence on texts from column, opinion article and editorial genres mainly. It is concluded then that the expression has suffered action of grammaticalization as a conjunction, according to Hopper’s study (1991), by confirming our initial hypothesis.

Brazil is considered the most diverse nation in the world and is estimated to have more than 13% of the world biota and 1919 species of birds. However, their removal from the natural environments for both illegal trade and captive maintenance, presents one of the main problems to be solved by the competent organs of fauna protection. In view of this, the centers for the rehabilitation and sorting of wild animals, responsible for receiving, identifying, marking, triaging, evaluating, recovering and allocating specimens of native wildlife were instituted. These institutions make an indispensable contribution to the process of conservation of ex situ species and are strong allies in the relocation of species in their habitat. The objective of this dissertation was to obtain data about the avifauna received at Pro-Arara, a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center created in the municipality of Araras-SP, generating information about the factors that affect the different species and motivate the delivery of these in this type of enterprise, as well as to develop a computer registry system to assist in local management. To do so, data recorded from July 2014 to July 2016 were considered for all species received and destined, as well as their provenance, analyzing by the documentation submitted by the environmental police. The development of the computer program was carried out jointly with the computer sector of the Municipality of Araras and the data collected were compiled and organized in a descriptive statistical way. During the study period, 607 birds were received, totaling 61 species distributed in 15 orders and 25 families. The most frequent order recorded was the Psittaciformes, Psittacidae family, comprising 49.59% of the total number of birds received. Within this group, individuals of the species Psittacara leucophthalmus (18,29%), Brotogeris chiriri (9,56%), Ara ararauna (7,74%) and Amazona aestiva (6,92%) predominated. Seven species are listed in the list of endangered fauna in the State of São Paulo: Ara ararauna (47), Ara chloropterus (1), Alipiopsitta xanthops (1), Sporophila maximiliani (5), Amazona amazonica (9), Sporophila angolensis (16) and Cyanoloxia brissonii (4), corresponding to 13,67% of the total. Regarding the provenance of the animals received, seizures by the environmental police (64,74%), followed by rescue of animals in situations of danger carried out by the competent organs (16,8%) predominated, and spontaneous self-surrender Population, in which the animal was in an irregular domestic guard (9,72%). Of the total number of animals received, 56,01% were referred to areas of release and monitoring in the State of São Paulo and 23,40% remained in the process of rehabilitation. The percentage of deaths recorded was 14,5%. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the Pro-Arara is a fauna enterprise with great importance for the conservation of avifauna species in the state of São Paulo and it would be important to be expanded to increase its capacity to receive animals. Another important action is the intensification of environmental education work, to raise people´s awareness in relation of the role of species in the natural environment.

In the recent global scenario, innovation has become strategic for the competitiveness of organizations, regions and countries. It is very difficult to predict or even plan for innovation that has a strong impact on markets, economies and people's lives, but it is possible to plan and focus efforts to strengthen the environment necessary for its emergence. Improving this environment is increasingly related to the ability of these regions and countries to promote innovation. According to critics, the current analytical frameworks for systemic approaches to innovation are not able to provide all the information needed to formulate public policy, or at least struggle to demonstrate how they translate their analytical results into policy prescriptions. In addition, despite their efforts, the most important tools for measuring the ability of territories to innovate are appropriate to the reality of developed economies but are not able to measure the real (innovative) potential of developing or underdeveloped economies. This work proposes to define an operational analytical model to capture the reality of Brazilian innovation ecosystems in terms of their ability to favor innovation. To achieve these objectives, the methodological strategy was carried out in four steps: a systematic review of the literature on innovation policies, indicators and systems; mapping of the characteristics present in this material to construct an analytical schema (set of characteristics and their metrics); validation of the schema through factorial analysis techniques and measuring the innovative performance of ecosystems, and finally; a typology proposal for innovation ecosystems, through cluster analysis techniques, and identification of their potentialities and weaknesses. As a result, we obtained the following: appropriate macro-dimensions, dimensions and indicators to capture the relevant characteristics of innovation state ecosystems; performance measurements of these ecosystems in relation to innovation; a typology for ecosystems according to the macro-dimensions that interfere with their capacity to favor innovation; and the potentialities and weaknesses of the ecosystems of twenty-six states and the Federal District in Brazil through the application of the model. The main scientific and socioeconomic contributions were: generation of knowledge about the Brazilian innovation state ecosystems; an alternative proposal for the operational detailing of analysis and monitoring activities for the operation of these ecosystems; support for future improvement, problem minimization and/or functional actions; a typology to enable the identification of potentialities and weaknesses, and; a proposal for analytical characteristics appropriate to the scale of research in and the socioeconomic condition of developing countries.

Among the effects of urban occupation and growth are the urban voids, which can be analyzed to assist in the study of urban dynamics. At the same time, many cities have a lack of green areas and their analysis also enables increase knowledge of local realities. In addition to the use of geoprocessing tools, the application of indexes such as urban green areas index and urban voids percentage, among others, can help further analysis and decision making for urban planning. In this sense, this research carried out analyzes of intra-urban growth, urban voids and green areas in the municipality of São Carlos – SP, covering the years 1998, 2004, 2010 and 2014. For this, it was used satellite images and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to quantify, categorize and evaluate intra-urban growth, local urban voids and green areas using index, multitemporal analyzes and comparisons with watersheds and local geological formations. The results showed that the urban voids reflected the dynamics of population growth, being occupied or created and varying their categories over time, reflecting in a decrease between the years studied. The green areas presented a growth, but with a lower index than the recommended by the UN and SBAU. The analysis of the urban voids and green areas allowed to identify sites with possible environmental fragility within the intra-urban area, such as the amount of urban voids in each geological formation and the existing uses within permanent preservation areas, which may induce improper occupation and use of these areas.

Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in Brazil and worldwide. Although, it has low lethality, it presents local malignancy, and the ability to invade and destroy adjacent tissues, representing high impact on the health of the patient. Conventional treatments for basal cell carcinoma (CBC) lesions include topical and, more usually, surgical techniques. The surgical treatment is one of the most efficient procedures. However, this technique requires specialized infrastructure, in addition to frequently requiring patient hospitalization, and presenting the possibility of anatomical and aesthetic functionality reductions at the site of the treated lesion. Topical Photodynamic Therapy is a technique that offers advantages as: excellent aesthetic result - especially when treating large area superficial lesions, possibility of application for outpatients in ambulatory, and presenting a minimum functional impact of the treated anatomycal site. Fractionated Photodynamic Therapy is a modification of the usual technique in which the full dose of light is delivered in steps separated by a periods of time ("dark intervals"). This period allows re-oxygenation of the tissue, re-distribution and accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) that leads to greater cellular damage with positive repercussion in the final response to treatment. The cure rates using this protocol in some studies are similar to the conventional protocol. However, in Brazil, no studies using this technique for treatment of BCC have been published. Thus, we proposed to evaluate the complete and partial response to the four different protocols of fractional Photodynamic Therapy, when evaluated after 30 days of treatment. The study showed a complete response of 65.8%, 67.6%, 72.7% and 95.4% in the groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. We observed that the dark interval and the irradiated light dose are parameters of great importance for the final response to the treatment. Our results suggest that Fractionated Photodynamic Therapy is a technique with excellent aesthetic result and complete response when evaluated 30 days after treatment. However, a longer follow-up will be necessary for better understanding of the behavior of the lesions treated.

About half of the Earth's land surface is focused on farming activities, showing its impact on biodiversity conservation, with Atlantic Forest being one of the most devastated biomes, yet presenting an index of diversity and endemism. Among several anthropogenic pressures, agriculture and husbandry are considered the major causes of environmental degradation. Before this scenario, it is necessary to improve policies and encourage a model of agricultural development that maintains productivity, but in a sustainable way preserving the environment and biodiversity, as is proposed by agroecology. Another aggravating threat from conventional agriculture is the contamination by pesticides end it is in this context that agroecology and conservation biology meet in common interests in order to preserve the fauna present in these spaces. This work, in turn, presents a survey of mammals from the Farm of São Paulo Zoo, located in Araçoiaba da Serra / SP, through camera traps. Were sampled plots aimed at both agriculture and forest fragments. Between June and September 2016, two sample campaigns were carried out using 30 camera traps simultaneously. In total, more than 17 thousand videos were analyzed and 13 species of mammals were registered, especially the giant anteater, an animal considered vulnerable (VU) in the extinction risk assessment for the State of São Paulo. Understanding the farm as a potential space for the conservation of wild fauna, the data collected in this work aim to subsidize the proposal of the agroecological transition, highlighting the Agroforestry Systems tool.

This thesis deals with a teacher development experience with nine participants from seven public schools in a city in the interior of the Northern Region of Tocantins, experienced through a collaborative work involving the participants and the researcher, from the perspective of Critical Literacy as a philosophy of English language teaching and learning. The study troubles the role of the English language in the curriculum in face of the challenges of globalization in a way in which the teachers were able to visualize this matter, especially in the local context of this study. The main objective was to analyze the formulation process from a perspective of Critical Literacy and its unfolding in the classroom practices, through several activities elaborated collaboratively to be used in the classes taught by the participating teachers. This study was oriented by the scope of applied linguistics and critical applied linguistics, with emphasis on postmodern and poststructuralist assumptions about foreign language teaching. This research has its methodological approach based on the qualitative and ethnographic studies (school ethnography). It is characterized as a collaborative-action research, with emphasis on three main aspects: agency, criticity and meaning making. Results demonstrate the possibility of a more meaningful and critical point of view in English language teaching with a critical and collaborative perspective, broadening an understanding of the value of other views on the implications of teaching English in this local context and its connections with the global context.

In this work conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPNs) based on block copolymers and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were obtained. Two of the copolymers were commercial: polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene (SBS), and polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS). The other copolymer was synthesized: polystyrene-b-poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PS-b-PVDF). Three systems of block copolymer/MWCNT were then obtained and studied for specific purposes. The SBS/MWCNT was produced using two routes: the solution and melt mixing. The influence of the processing conditions on the structure and on the electrical conductivity of these nanocomposites were evaluated and compared. For the second system, SEBS/MWCNT, the aim was evaluate the influence of the grafting of MWCNT with PS on the conductivity of the nanocomposites. For the third system, PS-b-PVDF/MWCNT, the aim was to evaluate the influence of the polymer matrix on the conductivity of the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites had their electrical properties evaluated by measurements of DC electrical conductivity and AC impedance spectroscopy. Their morphologies were evaluated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electron microscopy; and their structures were analyzed by small angle X ray scattering (SAXS). The results showed that the higher electrical conductivities and the lower percolation thresholds were obtained for the SBS/MWCNT nanocomposites obtained by the solution technique. The SEBS/MWCNT nanocomposites with PS grafted on MWCNT had higher conductivity than the non-grafted systems. The nanocomposites PS-b-PVDF/MWCNT had also better conductivities than the PVDF/MWCNT. Therefore, it was shown that both the modification of the processing, as well as the filler and the matrix are suitable approaches to control the structures and the electrical conductivity of CPNs based on MWCNT and block copolymers.

This research aims to understand the social construction of the image of Brazilian ethanol, with special attention to the period from 2003 to 2014, through the investigation of the discourses that contribute to the formation of regimes of truth about the "green commodity" and the articulations between political and economic actors interested in it. The period is marked by the (re)birth of ethanol in the national market under the appeal of a "sustainable product", apparently desired by society, who would demand renewable energy sources that can replace polluting and depleting fossil fuels. In contrast to these discourses we can find those who point out that sugarcane ethanol carries within itself social relations historically marked by bad working conditions, by the concentration of land and power, by the depreciation of natural resources and by the competition with food production. In this context, many efforts have been undertaken by governments and the sugar and ethanol industry to overcome the contradictions in which ethanol is involved, in order to make it an internationally accepted commodity. The thesis considers, therefore, that the process of production of the green commodity involves works that go beyond those necessary for the materialized constitution of the product, also requiring a work of symbolic production, not always perceived like that, of which science is a fundamental part. The thesis then proposes that the green commodity is composed by particular types of value (“collective use value” and a “ethical exchange value”). These values, which are found in addition to traditional values described by sociological theories, mark the specificities of a type of commodity that objectively and symbolically results of capitalistic processes boosted by moral justifications. By understanding the market as a result of political, cultural, and axiological disputes that surpass the economic sphere, and searching the representations about Brazilian ethanol, this thesis analytically dialogues with rural sociology and environmental sociology, maintaining a strong interface with the field of economic sociology. Methodologically, qualitative procedures of social research were employed, with emphasis on semi-structured interview techniques, biographies and document analysis.

This Masters dissertation proposes a study of the linguist Joaquim Mattoso Câmara Júnior, concentrating on the researcher's figure as science communicator. For this study we start from the reflection of language as divulgation object, addressing concepts of the dissemination, didactization and publicity, supported in studies of the authors Jacqueline Authier-Revuz and Eni Orlandi about scientific divulgation discourse. For the realization of this approach, we discuss the relationship between enunciator and enunciatee and the enunciative strategies present in textualization process as proposed by Semiotics Discourse. We have established as analysis corpus the researcher's scientific divulgation texts published in the newspaper Correio da Manhã in 1934 and in the magazine A Cigarra Magazine between the years 1957-1960. We intend to draw attention to the importance of dissemination of linguistic science of/in Brazil, encouraging the realization of science disseminators activities at present, contribute to research on the language, especially when it comes to divulgation object and intellectual productions of the researche, besides discuss about the actuality of the initiative of researcher, since it is still evident the need for divulgation of linguistic science and, together, the making of their professional, the linguist, and its value and recognition to various areas of human activity in society.

This dissertation examines the relationship between work in the slaughterhouses and the Kaingang way of life in the Toldo Chimbangue indigenous land, located in the municipality of Chapecó, in the western region of the state of Santa Catarina. The region is an important producer of pork and poultry meat, and the state is one of the most important of the meat sector in Brazil, producing for the domestic and foreign markets. Recently, the Kaingang have been hired by the slaughterhouses, that it’s offers transportation from the village to the industries. As this research seeks to present, being employed in slaughterhouses means subjecting to conditions that are admittedly exhaustive and harmful to workers. In addition to health issues, a repetitive production line that gets sick the Kaingangs bodies differs from village practices and knowledge, especially those concerning animal breeding, feeding, notions of work and the territory of the Toldo Chimbangue. These elements are what constitute and characterize the Kaingang being, according to themselves, and the work in the slaughterhouses and what it represents and implies is opposed to this way of life considered truly Kaingang. It is on those relationships and oppositions that this research is concerned.

The general objective of this dissertation was perform a study on innovation and knowledge production between organic farmers unionised in the county of Remígio, PB, located in the micro-region of Paraíba Western Curimataú, belonging to Borborema’s Pole, which is formed by a network of 14 syndicates of rural workers (SRWs). The pole for 21 years has been practicing respectful agriculture on an ecological basis, prioritizing existing social relations. The specific aiming of this study are: (I) Knowing the production of agroecological knowledge and innovations based in the county of Remígio, PB, resulting from the partnership with the Borborema Pole; (II) Identify the news with the transition processes socio-technical; (III) To know the trajectory of the familiar farmers in the matter of the ecological transition of agriculture and its relation with innovation and production of knowledge. Methodologically, we opted for the qualitative approach and the case study. We performed the data collection through a semi-structured interview. Data collection occurs through 20 interviews. We used two types of scripts in the interviews: a script to the farmers and another one for technicians. The main results indicate that the ecological agriculture practiced in the county of Remígio is a private and advanced process of local development. The “local aspect” and “particular” reference themselves to the important characteristic that is the aspect of innovation, from the experience and the necessity of each farmer, respecting his particularity. This process of knowledge and innovations producing is essentially based on reflective practice and the contextualization of knowledge through everyday/informal processes of innovation. As important innovations that arise through these processes, they are the several techniques and actions implemented, such as seed banks, solidarity funds, etc. In addition to taking the innovative role, the awareness and the growing change in farmers' thinking. Some of these innovations are configured as novelties since they are based on external models. The historical path allows us to affirm the presence of all these innovations produced as alternatives to the ecological transition of the productive units. I conclude by reaffirming the rich process of innovations and knowledge now produced by these ecological farmers in communion with the organizations, many positive points achieved mainly in the reaffirmation of these farmers and in the valorization of their identities.
