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.

Studies in Quilombo Remnant Communities have been gaining prominence in the last decade, several communities have been recognized and titled, in Mato Grosso there are certain 65 CRQs, of which 33 are located in the region of the municipality of Poconé, A region that gained an immense flow of slave labor in the colonial period due to gold mining and that soon after the decline of mining, large sugar cane farms took over, the region known as the headwaters of the Pantanal is highly coveted as being considered a fertile area. In this sense, the main objective of this study was to establish relationships and interface between traditional agriculture present in the Quilombo Campina de Pedra Community in Poconé-MT and agroecology rescuing through oral history the struggles, conflicts and resistance of a rural black community. The community lives on the production of rapadura, it is manufactured in an artisan way as its ancestors made. The community keeps an immense cultural wealth that is transmitted by generations, the celebrations, religious rites and organization of the work, are part of their daily life

This thesis aims to identify the relation between press and electoral campaigns in Brazilian‘s negative propaganda. This research is based on the effects of the attacks in a lawsuit, the repercussion of press and the characterizing the ripple effect. We will analyze whether this issues reinforced the opposition against the government‘s agenda. Our research hypothesis is that this agenda attracts the repercussion of the Brazilian printed newspapers. To do so, we will analyze the 2014 presidential election campaign. The corpus of the research was composed by the analysis of the Free Elective Advertising Hours (HGPE), spots and by texts of the two main national newspapers, namely Folha de São Paulo and Globo; during the electoral campaign. Finally, we will show this agenda‘s repercussion in the periodicals as an opposition‘s reinforcement, confirming the presented hypotheses.

This work presents the programs of continuous teacher training in the municipal public-school system of Limeira, from 1996 to 2012, when different continuing education programs with different theoretical and methodological orientations were developed. In our research, we used qualitative research processes, conducting bibliographical and documentary researches, which made it possible to conceptualize the continuing education of teachers, analyze official documents of the municipal public-school system of Limeira and the educational programs of continuing education, highlighting their objectives, conceptions, types of training, methodologies and results. This research also presents the Municipal Center for Pedagogical Studies, CEMEP (1997-2012), which showed as a ―study center‖ to discuss, capacitate, acquire new knowledge and improve educators in their didactic-pedagogical training. The analyzed programs are: Total Quality Program in Education, PQTE (1996), Pedagogical Workshops (1996), Parameters in Action (1999), the ―Pro-Trainer‖ Program (2000), Estudar Pra Valer (2004), Letra e Vida (2006), Reading and Writing (2008), and the National Pact for Literacy in the Right Age, PNAIC (2012). I believe that the continuing training developed during the period of this study played an important role in the formation and consolidation of the teaching and technical staff of the network.

The Army General Staff School was created in 1905, and its main function was provide Brazilian Army officers to a higher military education that qualified them to serve on the General Staff of the Army. The present thesis analyzes the education regulations of the EEM, trying to identify the type of training planned for official students in the period from 1905 to 1937. The five EEM regulations, published between 1905 and 1934, were consulted. (1905, 1913- 14, 1920, 1929 and 1934-35). The first years of operation of the EEM were marked by simple physical structure, the frequency of a few students and the influence of German military thinking. This scenario changed considerably from 1919, when the Brazilian government contracted a French Military Mission (MMF) to carry out a major reform in the Brazilian Army and the EEM was one of the first military institutions to be reorganized by French officers. The period of French presence from 1919 to 1940 was marked by the construction of its own school building, the increase of courses, the creation of boards, the writing of own textbooks, the introduction of new teaching methods and the training of Brazilian officers to act as instructors and lecturers in the EEM. The non-renewal of the contract with the MMF in 1940 marked the end of the presence of French officers in the structure of the Army and the EEM, but not the influence of their military thinking. The outbreak of the 1930 Revolution provoked intense transformations in the Army, in military education, and consequently in the EEM. In the analysis of official documents is essential to consider, in addition to its content, the historical circumstances they are made, those responsible for its making, and finally, their relationship with the concrete reality. At various times it is seen that the provisions of the regulations found great difficulties in implementation, as evidenced by the reports of the Ministers of War, the Army General Staff Chiefs and some memories of former students and former instructors. These documents are listed as the main sources of research, in which were also consulted documents relating to the French Military Mission, newspapers of the time and extensive bibliography. Another important source were the documents relating to education in EEM: schoolwork, teaching manuals, guidelines for applicants, evaluation, among others. The study on the Army General Staff School provides an in-depth understanding of the formation of the official student of the Brazilian Army, and the relations between the military and civilians in the first decades of the twentieth century.

A source of great biotechnological potential for the production of enzymes are endophytic microorganisms. These microorganisms are capable of producing a wide variety of enzymes, among them phytase, which is responsible for phytate hydrolysis. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of endophytic fungi of the mangroves of the state of São Paulo for phytase production. Initially, a qualitative selection of 33 isolates with PSM (Phytase Screening Medium) and a second quantitative selection was carried out, in which the preselected fungi were submitted to solid state fermentation (SSF) for phytase production. Among the isolates evaluated, the fungus Aspergillus awamori 9(4) was selected, which presented phytase activity of 43.98 U/100g when submitted to SSF culture for 72 h with soybean meal as substrate. In order to improve phytase production, the use of wheat bran as substrate was evaluated, reaching an activity of 82.77 U/100g, under the same conditions of cultivation. The use of KH2PO4 as an inducer in phytase production and the use of dialysis for the removal of interfering ions from the crude extract in phytase activity were also evaluated. For the experiments performed without the inducer, the dialysis of the extract resulted in activities of 85.42 U/100g with soybean meal and 55.44 U/100g with wheat bran. For the experiments of cultivation with the inductor and then dialysed resulted in activities of 132.35 U/100g with soybean meal and 115.52 U/100g with wheat bran, indicating that the effect of the inducer is positive in the production of Phytase and that dialysis is important for enzyme activity. These results indicate that the endophytic fungus of the mangrove of the State of São Paulo is promising for the production of phytase enzyme, being unpublished the use of endophytic micro-organisms for the production of this enzyme.

Nowadays, daily changes are taking place, a product of the technological era, which offers every day a tangle of information and which increasingly value the consumption, the enjoyment of many of the goods produced, in the face of all this, it is highlighted what to do with the waste produced by the modern era. In the construction industry, waste products such as mortar residues, brick remnants, paints, plastics and others are produced for the execution of the activities, which often have a bad impact on the environment. The National Environmental Council - CONAMA, in its resolution no. 307/2002 and later with its amendments, stipulates the implementation of a plan for the correct management of Civil Construction Waste. In this context, the main objective of this study was to study the situation of RCC in the city of Ribeirão Preto, determining the amount of waste generated, through two parameters; licensed areas and volume discarded in authorized places, obtaining a generation rate of 183.28 kg / m². In the same way, the composition of the buckets was analyzed and the unit mass of 0.79 t / m³ was calculated. The work sought to relate the values and obtained a generation per capita of 1.24 kg / hab x day. To determine the clandestine disposal situation, an inventory was carried out with the main disposal sites, thus providing information relevant to city hall, building contractors and other agents involved.

Nowadays, society has a challenge to deal with sustainable water use. High demand and water contamination, environmental degradation and the unpredictability of climate changes are some water insecurity causes. Riparian forests maintenance offers water ecosystems services, but in some cases the riparian ecosystem is in a degraded condition that require human intervention actions for forest restoration. In this way, geotechnologies help us to infer about physical landscape characteristics where watershed is a basic unity for environmental planning. This study aimed to identify important hydrologically areas of Consulta stream watershed and Retiro stream watershed and propose priorities areas for forest restoration and sustainable agricultural destination. The two watersheds are the main sources of public water supply in the city of Bebedouro (Brazil). It is hypothesized that the limits established by Brazilian forest law (BFL) riparian buffers zones may not fully guarantee the two watersheds riparian areas protection. It was assumed that the forest community plays an important role in the attenuation of chemical elements and sediments, and that is essential that there is a disruption of potentially polluting activities near riparian areas. It was used in the study images from orbital sensors spatial resolution 30 m and 90 m and topographical map 1:50.000 for obtaining and processing elevations data and land use in geographic information system (GIS), and environmental legislation. The results allowed to characterize the watersheds that are surrounding and presented similarities in their physical parameters (basin form, drainage density, channel length, and others) and the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) class distribution, slope class, landscape elements and land use. Three scenarios of priority areas for forest restoration were generated. It was observed that the priority areas are distributed close to the drainage channel of watersheds and are partially related to required areas by BFL. It can be concluded that in the three scenarios established the BFL may not be sufficient for the full protection of riparian sites and the adopted methodology proved to be efficient for guiding water resources management actions at larges scales.

This ethnography was conducted as a result of conversations with travesties, bichas (transgender people), gays and envolvidos (prison men that bond with transgender subjects) confined in a São Paulo's penitentiary. Through these encounters, I managed to product an image of the possible movements and paths from the pink gallery, term that combines travesties, bichas, gays and envolvidos at physical space, furthermore as a set of bodies, of people. Therefore, this composition gains credence in the beholding of romantic, sexual and economic dynamics that compounds the existential territory of my interlocutors. I hope to have successfully showed how separation movements always were followed by possible encounters on the three chapters that assemble this dissertation. In this sense, there are ladrões (thieves) that morally separates themselves from monas (term used to designate bichas and travesties as feminine subjects) yet only to find them again in prostitution. The ladrão ought to control the limits between his desire and the abject that insidiously is felt in the body of a mona, diverting from the risk of becoming an envolvido. Monas that are the expression of a border, overcoming barriers and contexts as an affirmation of femininity and its idiosyncrasies. Ladrões metamorphosed into envolvidos and which loses their moral ground. Envolvidos, in its turn, that marries monas. Monas that abandon their lives in celas cabaré (prostitution cells) to marry envolvidos. Monas that secretly dates ladrões. Couples that live together but suspiciously feel envious, gossip and fight. Couples that produce intense associative dynamics, involved in economic transactions that generate family. Couples separated by prison, by their different sentences and by surprise transference among penitentiaries. Love and interest, disputes unfolding in the shadow of an architecture created in articulation with prisoner’s subjectivity. Enhanced, this ethnography takes root in analytically describing the encounter of the narratives of monas and envolvidos, combining with the anthropological matters that got me into that prison. It is an ethnography of the prison as well, a membrane that cuts through the existence of prisoners, as porous and permeable, uniting and separating, inextricably comprised of associative romantic and sexual arranges that make possible the existence of the intense, but partial image that this dissertation proposes.

One of strong associations between polymers as biomaterials are in field of skin reparation. Polymers are utilized for this purpose, some such as poly (vynil alcohol) (PVA) are used due to characteristics such as biocompatibility, non-toxicity, in addition to their ability of processing for hydrogels, fibers, scaffolds and thin films. Beside synthetic polymers, utilization of biopolymers are growing and being developed. In biopolymers, chitosan stands out due the capability of hurry the wound regeneration, immunological stimulation, fungi and bacteria static action and the collagen due the interaction with body tissues and support to cell growth. With the objective to attach the properties of PVA, chitosan and collagen, three different types of films was made: PVA, PVA/Quit and PVA/Quit/Col. These films was characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) that indicates interactions between PVA and chitosan. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed the PVA/Quit and PVA/Quit/Col films have miscibility between the components. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) showed higher thermos stability of PVA after the addition of chitosan. Sweeling tests have demonstrated the films PVA/Quit and PVA/Quit/Col had higher swelling degrees than PVA. Water Vapor Permeation showed that PVA films have more permeability. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that does not have separation between components. By the end, antibiogram analysis does not showed inhibition of bacterial activity. Therefore, the characteristics presented in this work stimulates the searching of results and applications of PVA/Quit/Col films in tissue engineering.

The implementation of Lean Production systems has proven to be a highly complex task due to implementation difficulties, deficiencies and limitations in practices, methods and support tools. Recently, seeking to fill this gap a rapprochement between the two separate areas began: Lean Production and Project Management. This work addresses the approach of these two areas, trying to highlight the impact of the use of project management methodology to support the implementation of Lean Manufacturing. Assuming the initial hypothesis that the use of Project Management had a positive impact on Lean implementation, parameters were used for the selection of Lean projects cases with the same level of complexity (risk x benefit) for metal industry companies in the state from Sao Paulo. After selecting 4 companies, with a case study in each company, the diagnostics were applied based on project management guide PMBOK (2013) to evaluate the using of Project Management level and the degree of Leanness with reference to SAE J4000 standard. In addition, the impact on the production processes from each case study has been reported during the study, based on indicators such as WIP (work in progress), Lead-time, HCO (headcount) and the used area in the shop floor. The data received from the companies showed, after analysis, the confirmation of the initial hypothesis, since there was a linearity between the use of project management and the achieved degree of Leanness. The indicators of production processes showed a significant improvement after the implementation of Lean in all the cases studied. The research contributes to experts and professionals in the area of Project Management and Lean, encouraging them to use more project management in the Lean implementation.

One of the major problems faced by humanity nowadays is the issue of preserving the environment. In recent years, progress has been accelerated, having a direct influence on the environmental impacts caused by several kinds of activities. In order to settle the situation, considering an industrial context, one of the alternatives is the use and generation of biofuels. One of the most ancient ways of energy generation is gasification, regarding biofuels, this process is a good alternative to contribute to environmental preservation. This work presents important points on the studying of biomass gasification process, evaluating hydrodynamic and kinetic aspects of the process through the use of numerical CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation along with experimental data from literature. Firstly, the fluid dynamics was analyzed, not considering the occurrence of reactions. In this step of the project, the influence of high and low mass solid influxes in variables such as solid volumetric fractions (radial and axial) and particle velocities were verified. In addition, a study on how the restitution coefficient can have an effect on those variables were carried out. It was verified and influence of the coefficient on the solids volume fraction profiles in regions near to the risers walls. Moreover, a study of different drag models was also carried out, in order to obtain the best possible solids volume fraction profile. It was concluded that conventional drag models, such as Gidaspow et al. (1992), for example, are better in predicting the behavior of this variable in more dilute regions, while most models that consider a more heterogeneity in flows, such as those which use the Energy Minimization Multi-Scale (EMMS) approach, are better at predicting the same behavior in dense regions. Regarding the process kinetics, the influence of Gidaspow and EMMS models on the final process products conversion was also analyzed, as well as the solids volume fraction along riser height. The results showed that different drag models do not alter significantly this variable profile in this case.
