Access to database indexes, compiler symbol tables, operating system commands, routing device ports, telecommunication registers, processor caches, among others, are inserted into areas of Computer Science research with a common point - search algorithm. These applications can handle large sets of elements where the cost of searching for a key can be high. Thus, there is a need to develop algorithms that, in addition to efficiency, focus on efficiency, both in processing time and in the use of system resources. This dissertation aims to propose a sequential search algorithm called Linear Collision Sequential Search (BSCL), based on the probabilistic distribution of Poisson, for large static data arrays where key columns are ordered and evenly distributed numbers. As a result, we present a comparison of the BSCL with an algorithm already consecrated and in use in several computational routines - Perfect Hash Table. The Experimental validation focuses on three metrics - processing time, number of iterations, and memory resources. The dissertation concludes that BSCL is superior to the Perfect Hash in computation time and memory resources. Its main contribution is to demonstrate that simpler routines can have more expressive computational results.

This study aimed to analyze the effects of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) associated to Point-of-view Video Modeling (POVM) on the performance of the communicative skills of children diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Complex Communication Needs, as well as involve the parents, teachers and trainees of these children throughout the process. The specific objectives for the primary participants with ASD were: to analyze the performance during the intervention, to ascertain the level of independence, to monitor the vocabulary, to demonstrate the communication skills; for participants parents, trainees and teachers: to analyze the training given to the communication partners about the intervention, evaluate the performance of the communication partners during the PECS and POVM implementation, to develop a PECS Maintenance Guide for communication partners; to verify the intervention social validity. Three children with ASD with ages ranging from four to six years old and their respective parents, trainees and teachers, participated in the study. For data collection, the following instruments were used: Vocabulary selection worksheet; Participant Performance Record Sheet; Vocabulary Registration Sheet; Communication Skills Questionnaire; Questionnaire referring to the contents taught in the Theoretical Preparatory Course; Communication partners performance record sheet; Social Validity Questionnaire. The experimental design of multiple baseline design by subjects combined with the alternate treatments was used, PECS was associated to POVM being the independent variable and the communication skills were the dependent variable. Data were analyzed considering aspects such as: participants' performance percentage of correct responses; level of independence; vocabulary number expressed; percentage of participants' communication skills responses before and after the intervention; average percentage of responses before and after the theoretical preparatory course; correct performance percentage of communication partners. The results showed that from the beginning of the intervention, the data levels and trends changed, all the participants obtained the criterion, reaching 100% non-overlapping. In all phases of PECS associated to POVM the participants had an average percentage above 90%. As for the vocabulary, two participants performed the communication using figure and speech, while only a participant made the communication through the figures. There were gains in communication skills, even those that were not foreseen. The participants parents, trainees and teachers presented a change in the knowledge taught in the Preparatory Theoretical Course, in which the pre-test average was 70% and in the post-test 87%. Regarding the performance as communication partners they obtained the average of 69% correct answers at the beginning, in the end, they obtained an average of 91% of correctness. The PECS Maintenance Guide has been handed out to parents, trainees and teachers in order to assist them in meeting the needs of the PECS user. The study was considered as socially valid by the responsible, trainees and teachers. It was concluded that the participants with ASD indicated a change after the intervention, comparing baseline condition with intervention and follow-up, demonstrating a possibility in Augmentative and Alternative Communication for children with ASD.

Quilombola communities have a long history of sustained resistance since slavery. Their traditions were oppressed and adapted to the reality they were forced to adopt, learning to relate to nature to survive, linking the memories of the representations of their identity to the new territory. In Pilar do Sul (SP), the quilombola community Fazenda Pilar claims the titling of their lands for the resumption of traditional subsistence practices. Approximately 70% of this territory has been urbanized, remaining only to the homegardens of their houses, reminiscences of relationship with nature. The participant research described here, sought to verify and describe if the traditional knowledge of quilombolas from Pilar do Sul are present in their homegardens. To this end, thematic interviews were conducted with quilombolas to record oral history. The results show that backyards preserve knowledge passed down through the generations, even if they are redefined, tainted or hidden.

Introduction: The Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a family of treatment techniques with a behavioral approach derived from basic neuroscience, that aims to increase and improve the utilization of the affected upper limb of individuals with asymmetric use of it in their activities of daily living. The 3 hours a day protocol (10 days) requires a long period of attention from the therapist, raising the costs for rehabilitation institutions, decreasing the supply of care to be performed. Objectives: Compare the effects of modified CIMT (CIMT1h30) in relation to the protocol of CIMT3h and Control Group, on the functionality and occupational performance of hemiparetic subjects after stroke; evaluate the effects of the protocols of CIMT1h30, CIMT3h and Control Group on the quantity and quality of use of the paretic upper limb, from the participant's perception; evaluate the motor performance of the paretic upper limb and occupational performance; compare the influence of the behavioral package (CIMT1h30 X Control Group) in the results. Methodology: Single blinded randomized controlled trial, in which 30 participants were divided into three groups: (1) CIMT1h30: three sessions per week for four weeks, with an hour and a half duration each session; (2) CIMT3h: five sessions per week, for two weeks, with three hours duration each session; (3) Control Group: three sessions per week, for four weeks, with 40 minutes duration each session. The outcome measures used were: Motor Activity Log (MAL) and its two sub scales of movement quantity and movement quality; Wolf Motor Functional Test (WMFT); Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and Saehan Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer and Saehan Hydraulic Pinch Gauge tests. Participants were evaluated in the pre- and post-treatment, as well as in the 6-month follow-up. The data were analyzed by the Tukey test for multiple comparisons (within-subject and between-group) and descriptive statistical analysis. Results: in relation to MAL and its two sub-scales, the participants of CIMT1h30 and CIMT3h presented significant improvement in the post-treatment, with maintenance of the results after 6 months (p <0.001), being the results superior to the Control Group. Regarding COPM, both for performance and satisfaction, the participants of CIMT1h30 and CIMT3h showed significant improvement in post-treatment, with maintenance of the results after 6 months (p <0.001); only the CIMT3h group presented statistical difference in relation to the Control for satisfaction. Analyzing the WMFT results in relation to time, the three groups showed a significant reduction in the time of test execution in the post-treatment (p <0.05), however, in the 6-month follow-up, only the CIMT1h30 and CIMT3h groups maintained the results. It was not possible to identify statistical difference between groups. When the quality of movement was analyzed through WMFT, the participants of the three groups showed significant improvement in the post-treatment (p <0.01), with maintenance of the results after 6 months only in the CIMT3h group, while in the between-group analysis the CIMT3h group was superior to Control. In relation to strength tests, only the CIMT3h group showed significant improvement in the 6-month follow-up (p <0.008) on the Pinch Gauge, but there was no difference in the between-group analysis. In relation to the Hand Grip, it was possible to identify significant improvement in the post-treatment in the CIMT1h30 and CIMT3h groups (p <0.02), but in the follow-up only for the CIMT3h group (p <0.001); in the between-group analysis there was no statistical difference between the three groups. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that the CIMT1h30 protocol demonstrates potential to increase the use of the paretic upper limb of persons with motor sequelae due to a stroke, as well as in the perception of movement quality and occupational performance, with similar results as CIMT3h and higher than the control group.

Reading, as a learning tool for new conceptions and inestimable importance in the social context, has been pointed as one of the biggest school challenges., specially with matters in reading comprehensive, because there are many students who read but a few who understand what they read. Problems related to reading can obstruct the students’ development knowledge, in consequence of low school achieving. The teaching of reading abilities is essential for the advancement of the student with reading difficulties and, considering that low-achieving students are not motivated nor engaged in reading activities, motivation matters together with the teaching of reading abilities show up as something promising. Therefore, the main goal of this research was to develop, implement and evaluate a Motivational Reading Comprehension Program in association with the teaching of Reading Abilities for students enrolled in the elementary school that have low school achievement as a consequence of learning difficulties, learning disorders or to belong to the “público-alvo da educação especial” (Special Education Target Audience) and, also, as specific goals, to train graduation students to act as monitors in the Program; monitor the reading level of the participants during the Program; provide the teaching and the development of the reading abilities; elaborate tasks that promote the curiosity and, allow the students‘engagement in reading. This is an experimental research with qualitative and quantitative approach. Eleven students with low school achievement participated of this study, been that two participants have intellectual disability, two have autism, two have high skills and the other five have learning difficulties or disorders. Pre and after tests were done with the following instruments: Teste de Competência de Leitura de Palavras e Pseudopalavras, Compreensão da Leitura de Palavras e Frases and one Roteiro de Avaliação das Capacidades Leitoras and, during the Program application, one Roteiro de Observação and field diary were used. The results of the first part of the Program, related to the motivation matters, pointed for a change in the students’attitude in relation to the reading activities, with the increase of the engagement, auto eficácia beliefs and, an orientation in most part of the time by the intrinsic motivation. The Program also found the importance of the social matters for a bigger engagement in the reading activities as well as its efficacy to the diversity of students. The pre test show that, in spite of the students are able to read, they do not have the essential abilities domain for reading comprehension and, the after test registered a significant increase in the reading abilities domain of the students. We suggest that the Program can be replicated in the school classroom context to verify if it is effective for the school environment.

Information Literacy is an important requirement for individuals to be able to interact in this environment of continuous changes and accumulation of information to build knowledge. The objective of this work is to investigate how academic research is established regarding the Information Literacy of students of Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo (IFSP). To this end, monographs were selected for public access in the home pages of the campuses, which resulted in a sample of 96 completion work. This research is characterized as qualitative-quantitative and has a descriptive and exploratory character. In addition to the literature review and literature review, analyzes were carried out in the monographs and in the Curricular Matrices and Political Pedagogical Projects of the selected courses. Finally, the home pages of the IFSP campus libraries were analyzed in order to identify the informational resources made available by the libraries to their users and to verify if there were any training and guidance in the construction of scientific research. The results obtained after the analysis of the monographies were satisfactory, demonstrating that the students are attentive to the methodological delineations for the construction of an academic work. The analysis of the curricular matrices and the Political Pedagogical Projects showed that there are no specific disciplines for the development of Information Literacy, but there are disciplines that work the necessary skills to develop this competence. With regard to libraries, it was concluded that there are isolated actions for the development of Information Literacy in libraries of the IFSP network. With the results obtained, it is inferred that the students have the necessary tools and knowledge for the development of Information Literacy and that the IFSP has supported and sought to strengthen this competence.

Statements concerning bilingual projects for the education of the deaf did not arise suddenly and actively in inclusive schools. There was a shifting of knowledge configuring a new educational paradigm for deaf people. Perhaps influenced by power relations manifested through laws, decrees, social movements, community struggles and researchers that contributed to the implementation of inclusive bilingual school environments. In this study, these emergency processes were investigated through documentary analysis and interviews with school managers. The aim is analyzing the historical trajectory and the knowledge compositions that have activated a new bilingual inclusive educational scenario for deaf individuals, other than the inclusive proposals in consonance with the model supported by the guidelines that support discourses and practices in special education. Proposals and actions have been presented that try to break with this new paradigm towards the maintenance of a school centered in the Portuguese language. For this, is credited with the regulations for the changes of inclusive mainstream schools to the format of inclusive schools-polo bilingual. The archaeogeneal method developed by Michel Foucault, contributed to the historicization of the factors that allowed the emergence of bilingual projects as a field of research. We analyzed the conjunctures of displacements operated from one knowledge to another which implemented bilingual educational projects for the deaf education. In this sense, the relevance of this research was to contribute with the existing discussions about the displacements of knowledge for educational procedures, carried out in municipalities that adopt inclusive bilingual methods, in order to demarcate the history of social movements toward proposals of bilingual polo-schools.

The problem of research investigated comes in a critical aspect related to distance education, the development of research by distance mode students. Whereas higher education values by teaching, research and extension, argues that the library is one of the main support equipment to increase of this triad. Thus, the general objective of this research is to analyze and discuss the role of the library as infrastructure to support distance education. The specific objectives are: to describe the panorama of distance education in Brazil, highlighting the guidelines of the Ministry of Education for the operation of this equipment, in the context of distance education at the Federal University of São Carlos; characterize and discuss the University Library and your action potential in distance education; systematize and present the research overview in EaD, analyze the situation of construction and use of information hubs with interest in the chacarterization of the libraries of the poles; analyze Community Library products and services of the Federal University of São Carlos to discuss the existence or no of items developed specifically for these audiences and, finally, an analysis and discussion of the results. In order to operationalize the study were used the following methodological procedures: literature review on EaD in Brazil and documentar research on governamental sites; bibliographical research and subject analysis on library Science and related fields; systematic review of 749 abstracts published in proceedings of the International Symposium on distance education (SIED) from 2012, 2014 and 2016; a systematic review of the literature in Data Bases in Information Science and Education; documentary analysis of reports produced by the Foundation of institutional support to the Scientific and Technological Development of the UFSCar, available online; analysis of online government documents and analysis of the interface of the Community Library of UFSCar; analysis and discussion of the results found with the research work shows that the format of the distance in Brazil leads to weaknesses in the planning of the physical infrastructure of library, which is reflected in the quality of services offered; systematic review of SIED shows only 4 scientific articles on the theme library and distance education a total of 749 scientific articles; the theme library and distance education in Information Science and related areas reveal 45 articles. Finally, authors that deepen the theme library and distance education comprise the library as a pedagogic resource while the Brazilian government documents to describe how physical infrastructure, a mismatch. And, the university library is represented by the UFSCar Community Library offers online services in data bases via proxy for remote users. The conclusion is that the library role have not been captured in the Brazilian universe of distance education, it is not well established. Although the library's contribution opportunities for distance education in terms of physical structure materials and insertion in the teaching learning process there is still no formal action of University Library institutionalized involved in public distance higher education actions.

The central aims of this PhD thesis were: (1) to verify the reproducibility of kinematic variables during maximum mouth opening (MMO) and (2) to investigate the regional interdependency between the upper cervical spine and the orofacial region, using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) where was collected kinematic and clinical outcomes after a physiotherapeutic treatment for the neck in women with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Therefore, 4 studies were developed. The First Study investigated the reliability of the kinematic analysis of the jaw movement in asymptomatic subjects. The results showed that the reproducibility of the measures depends on the data analysis and on the variables. Static measurements like jaw radius and width were the most reproducible ones. Furthermore, the interincisal distance during MMO and the angular movements of the jaw in sagittal plane presented the smallest errors and should be used in future studies. In general, the variables with low amplitude were less reproductible, with higher Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimum Detectable Change (MDC). Finally, the inter-rater comparisons presented larger limits of agreement and more frequent outliers. The Second, Third and Fourth studies were elaborated from one RCT that included 61 women with TMD, divided into two groups: Control Group (CG) and Intervention Group (IG). IG was submitted to 10 sessions of physiotherapy based on manual therapy applied on the upper cervical spine and stabilization exercises to the neck, for 5 weeks. The CG did not get any intervention for 5 weeks. Clinical and kinematic variables were collected on baseline and after 5 weeks by a blind rater. The analysis of the Second study aimed: (1) to determine the effectiveness of the protocol to reduce orofacial pain intensity on IG compared to CG, after and during 5 weeks (2) to verify the differences between the groups after 5 weeks on the following secondary variables: Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) of the masticatory muscles, mandibular function and headache impact in women with TMD. The results showed significant decrease of orofacial pain intensity since 4 weeks of treatment in comparison to CG and in comparison to baseline. There were no significant differences on PPT and no clinically relevant differences on mandibular function. The Third study was based on a secondary analysis of the RCT in order to (1) provide the Minimum Clinical Important Difference (MCID) from the variables related to orofacial pain, headache impact, sensibility of the masticatory muscles, mandibular function and the performance of deep neck flexor muscles, according to an anchor method of analysis, using the Global Rating of Change Scale (GRCS); (2) verify which outcomes can predict the moderate or large response to the treatment. The analysis provided MCID values for variables related to maximum, minimum and current orofacial pain using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), for the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ), for the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6), for the PPT of the masticatory muscles, for the MMO measured with a caliper, and for the Craniocervical Flexion Test (CCFT). On the univariate regression analysis, among all the outcomes, the ones related to pain and the HIT-6 presented better capacity of discrimination between patients who largely or moderately got better from those who did not. On the multivariate regression analysis, the combination of minimum pain (or any other pain score) and HIT-6 presented the best capacity of discrimination between patients who largely or moderately improved from those who did not. Finally, the Fourth study focused on two clinical variables and several kinematic variables, with the following objectives: (1) verify the effects of the intervention on the behavior of kinematic variables related to range of motion and coordination of the head and jaw during MMO, speech and chewing in women with TMD; (2) verify the differences between the groups regarding the performance of the deep neck flexor muscles (according to the CCFT) and the perception of the patients regarding their global status of health (according to the GRCS) after the intervention/control. The results showed absence of significant effect of the intervention on the kinematic variable´s behaviour regarding range of motion and coordination between head and jaw during MMO, speech and chewing in women with TMD. On the other hand, the IG presented significant improvement on the GRCS, as well as on the CCFT. In general, this thesis enabled the kinematic evaluation of the jaw in order to investigate the normal or pathologic biomechanical patterns of the jaw, provided reference measures for the interpretation of clinical variables related to TMD, that can be used on the clinical settings and research fields, so future studies can continue to investigate this population. On top of that, this thesis cooperates for the evidence of regional interdependency between the upper cervical spine and the jaw, filling some of the knowledge gaps on the literature and suggesting ideas for future studies.

It is well known that early childhood care is crucial to the development of the child. Thus, the demand for quality public services is made factual, considerably increasing the diligence for day-care centers and pre-schools. Kindergartens and preschools constitute development contexts with unique potentialities, since they bring together and accompany a large number of children from time to time and are therefore an important space for monitoring children's development. In Brazil, the scarcity of specific instruments for monitoring child development is a problem, since the number of children at risk of delay is relatively high. Recently adapted to the Brazilian context, the Ages and Stages Questionnaires Brazil (ASQ-BR) has been referred to internationally as an excellent instrument for monitoring child development, demonstrating good psychometric properties. It is in this sense that the present project aims to outline the overall development profile of children from 5 to 50 months of age who attend the Municipal Child Education Centers of a municipality in the interior of São Paulo, through ASQ-BR. For this, the educators applied the instrument with 392 children, whose performance was analyzed quantitatively. As a result, it was obtained that, in general, 97.96% of the children were born at term, 51.79% are female and are located in the questionnaires from 36 to 48 months. Girls performed better than boys in all categories, but this difference was only statistically significant in the categories: Fine Motor Co-ordination and Personal-Social Coordination. The highest scores were obtained in the category of Large Motor Coordination, Communication and Problem Solving, and the lowest scores were in the Personal-Social category and the Fine Motor Coordination category. The two categories with the highest incidence of delays were the Personal-Social category and the Fine Motor Coordination category, respectively. As for the applicability of the instrument in the context of early childhood education, by educators, it was clear the importance of monitoring child development, especially by these professionals and the need for complementary instruments that allow a more targeted look at the individuality of each child. In addition, the ASQ-BR was identified by these professionals as an important source of information that, in the course of the research, reverberated positively in professional practice and, consequently, in the development of the participating children.

Analyzing and understanding spatial data that varies over time is a complex task. Usually, the data is arranged in a tabular or text form. We developed the ST-Vis (SpatioTemporal Visualization) tool to provide a visual representation of spatiotemporal data, which must help users to understand the temporal variation in a region when combining the parallel coordinate graph with a geographical map, the temporal texture, and a table. The temporal texture results in a representation of colors for the variation of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), each texture cell refers to a period to be analyzed. ST-Vis provides a simultaneous spatiotemporal representation of data, and the visualizations interact with each through animations. We evaluated the ST-Vis tool through a conversation with some domain specialists in the area, and through a form applied to some experts in the field, students and teachers in the area of agribusiness, computing, and other areas. It has been found that ST-Vis assists users in understanding spatiotemporal data through generated visualizations

From a pedagogical and anthropological perspective, this research sought to identify the foundations present in the circulation, diffusion, apprehension and perpetuation of knowledge in environments linked to the religious matrix of African origin, understanding, as circulation, the transference and apprehension of the ritual knowledge and practices inherent in that belief system. The theme of study is the Ketu nation candomblé, particularly the Ilê Alaketu Asè Omô Logunédè Cult House, in which complex rituals continue to be learned and apprehended, perpetuated and transmitted, notwithstanding the absence of the traditional figure of the master or a written culture, as well as continually facing the harsh repudiation of Western Judeo-Christian societies, exacerbated along the historical slave trade process. The methodology used was qualitative and included bibliographical analysis, data collection in the field and participant observation. Theoretically, it relied on renowned names such as Kabengele Munanga, Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Roger Bastide and Pierre Verger, as well as on research related to the subject, such as “Educação nos Terreiros" (not avaiable in English), developed by Stella Guedes Caputo and "Convivendo com os Orixás" (not published) by Karla Geyb da Silva Queiroz; also in speeches such as that of Maria Stella de Azevedo Santos, Mother Stella de Oxossi, delivered in 2013, when she took office at the Bahia Academy of Letters, as well as a survey of the formation and history of candomblé in Brazil. Among the results achieved, it was observed that the adherence between the African cultural values and the practices of knowledge transmission in the diaspora happens in a very effective way, characterized by the respect to the longevity, communal dependency, circularity, playfulness, notion of a necessary complementarity among all the individuals, as well as other elements that are part of the processes studied. Thus, this dissertation aims to collaborate with the production of knowledge in the field of fundamentals of educational processes of non-school education.

The silica with structure MCM-41 has a hexagonal mesoporous arrangement with one dimensional pore system. This silica as synthesized contains cations (usually the CTA+) in your pores and catalytic sites with basic character due to the presence of anions siloxy (≡SiO-) associated with these cations. In this work, the synthesis route of MCM 41 silica was modified using a cationic surfactant different from the usual CTABr (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), variation in the synthesis composition and sources of hydroxyl ion. Among a large number of cationic surfactants, the CADMABr (cetilalildimetilamônio bromide), CPyBr (cetylpyridinium bromide) and CnTABr (alkyltrimethylammonium bromide) were used. The CADMABr differs from CTABr by the substitution of a methyl group with hydrophilic head for an allyl group, the CPyBr has a pyridine group in place of the trimethylamine, while the CnTABr has a change in the number of carbon atoms in the hydrophobic tail. The hybrid silicas were synthesized using different molar ratios of surfactant and sources of hydroxyl ion, keeping the temperature at 30 °C and synthesis time in 2 hours. The surfactants were characterized by electric conductivity, in order to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and their aqueous dispersions at different concentrations by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to verify the micellar behavior. The hybrid silicas were characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase identification, together with thermogravimetry (TGA), nitrogen physisorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was measured to verify the basicity of the siloxy sites (≡SiO-) with the modification of the cations in the hybrid silicas synthesis. The catalytic properties of these silicas were evaluated using the transesterification model reaction of monoester and the transesterification reaction of vegetable oil to biodiesel manufacture, both under mild conditions. The results show improvement in catalytic stability with increasing basicity and the molar ratio of Surfactant: SiO2 of the silicas synthesis mixture. In addition, the hybrid silicas obtained by the method of Araújo et al. (2013) modified, with higher molar ratio Surfactant: SiO2, had higher values of IR (%) and smaller particle size.

In the last years the concept of childhood has gained new meanings, as well as the children's practices. Perhaps the greatest challenge of these new meanings lies within the school context in dealing with the child pluralism. In order to analyze how schools have been dealing with the transformations of the concept of childhood and its plurality, this work has sought to analyze the present concept of childhood in a kindergarten. To this end, this work sought to analyze the main educational policies that focus on Early Childhood Education, as well as to know more closely the daily life of a school, its teachers and its pedagogical practices. The theoretical-methodological contribution of the Objective Hermeneutics was used in this work from the data collection to the analysis of the interviews with the teachers. Finally, the Critical Theory of Society was used as a theoretical basis to carry out a final analysis on the themes that permeated the study. With the conclusion of the study, it was possible to verify that the school is not carried by a single conception of childhood, since this conception is diversified from different factors: based on the policies, between the formations of its teachers, its pedagogical proposals or, even in the problem of child's adultifying, which goes beyond the walls of the school.

This research is based on a qualitative methodological approach and investigates the mathematical meanings produced by Second Grade students and how they are evidenced when in the Mathematical teaching with children’s stories, in order to answer the research question: “What is the process of mathematical meanings of a Second Grade student in a teaching combining children’s histories and numeracy?”. Through a partnership between the researcher and the teacher of a Second Grade class, children’s histories were used as a pedagogical resource in the Mathematical teaching. Since this proposal was part of the PNAIC of numeracy (BRASIL, 2014), a program dedicated to the training of literacy teachers, we established as a requirement that the partner teacher had been part of such program. The analysis of the student’s mathematical meanings was based on transcriptions of recorded lessons when children’s histories were used as a pedagogical resource; students answers for problematizations based on such histories; and an interview with the partner teacher. For the data analysis, we choose three categories: the first with respect to the mathematical meanings demonstrated by the students in the moments of reading and discussion of the children’s histories; the second refers to the students mathematical meanings when solving problems based on the children's book; and the third category refers to the teacher’s perception of the students learning of Mathematics regarding the children’s histories approach, it’s usage and the partnership. We can highlight that the student’s mathematical meanings are contextually present and they are related to mathematical concepts presents in the children’s histories used for the Mathematical teaching during the research. The students connected mathematical concepts, the histories narrative, and daily and nondaily concepts, evidencing such meanings on reading, problem-solving, and socialization via orality, writing and drawing. We believe that the teacher’s performance during the lessons was essential to produce meanings by the students, serving them as a model for literacy. Moreover, we could observe how a PNAIC proposal was developed in class, bringing up relevant questions about teaching and teacher’s training.

The process of deaf people inclusion in different social spaces becomes possible, mainly, by the professional practice of the translator and interpreter of Libras (Brazilian Sign Language), that to do it presupposes a condition of formation that contemplates the political and social advances in deafness´s field. The profession, recently recognized in Brazil, is consolidated, among others, by the social movements of deaf community, in which one this professional reflects expressive participation. In this sense, the present research aims to investigate the professional development of Libras translator and interpreter, specifically, to analyze the significant formative experiences and to characterize the formative processes. To do so, based on an interview with open questions, the construction of the professional training of translators and interpreters working in a city in the interior of the State of São Paulo is investigated. The participants of this research, three translators and interpreters of Libras, were indicated by local deaf association and through an interview with a script validated in a pilot study they shared the formative experiences considered significant. The qualitative study sought to apprehend contents and meanings of the formative processes in the construction of professional training, and the investigation allowed to contemplate that this training can be occur in a plural ways by the community formation, by the systematized formation and by the formation in service. The analyzes allowed to visualize that the formative plurality of the subjects studied is constructed from a reflexive posture based on the knowledge of the languages, based on the participation of the professional in the deaf community, on the linguistic exchange with deaf fluent in Libras, as well as the sharing with interpreters and professionals more experients. It is also worth noting the professional development of the knowledge built from the systematic training, the possible knowledge of being produced and reproduced in the continuous formation, the participation in events of the area and in the formation throughout the performance. It is understood that the critical reflection of the professional doing is determined by the formative processes, which also determine the own critical reflection and the construction of the professional formation. It is necessary more investigations that contemplate the object of study in question, having seen the dynamic movement inherent the actions of inclusion of the deaf in society and the valorization of the profession in the labor market, this research sought to compose the theoretical framework of the area that has reached a broad level, mainly, after the legislation of recognition and appreciation of Libras. The knowledge reflected in the study, although the limits of the research, seek to contribute to the professional training of the translator an interpreter of Libras

Introduction: The Scapular Assistance Test has as principle the therapist to manually assist the scapula in upward rotation and posterior tilt during arm elevation performed by the patient in an attempt to reduce pain and increase arm range of motion of the arm. However, it is not yet clear in the literature if individuals with this test as positive really present scapular movement patterns and muscle strength different from those with the test as negative. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare scapular kinematics, characterize the coordination between scapula and humerus, and to compare muscle strength in individuals with unilateral shoulder pain with positive and negative Scapular Assistance Test. Methods: Sixty individuals with shoulder pain participated in the study and were allocated to one of the two groups: positive Scapular Assistance Test (n=30) and negative Scapular Assistance Test (n=30). Scapular kinematics during elevation and lowering of the arm in sagittal plane, and muscle strength of serratus anterior, lower trapezius and external rotators of the arm were assessed in all individuals. The coordination between scapula and humerus was analyzed in qualitative way during the entire range of elevation and lowering of the arm and from the beginning of the painful arc. Results: There was no group x angle interaction (p>0.05) and no group main effect (p>0.05) during internal rotation and upward rotation of the scapula. There was no group x angle interaction (p<0.05) during posterior tilt of the scapula, but there was group main effect during elevation (p<0.05) and lowering (p<0.05) of the arm, whereas the group with positive Scapular Assistance Test presented greater anterior tilt of the scapula. The group with positive Scapular Assistance Test had greater contribution of the internal rotation and lower of the posterior tilt of the scapula from the beginning of the painful arc. There was no difference (p>0.05) in the strength of the serratus anterior, lower trapezius and external rotators of the arm between both groups. Conclusion: The positive Scapular Assistance Test appears to be able to identify subgroups of individuals who exhibit reduced posterior tilt of the scapula, and increased internal rotation of the scapula during the painful arc of arm elevation. The pain seems to influence the coordination between scapula and humerus during the painful arc. There are no differences in upward rotation of the scapula, and in the strength of the serratus anterior, lower trapezius and external rotators of the arm among the individuals with shoulder pain.

Around 50 to 70% of subjects post-stroke presented reduction of upper limb (UL) function even during chronic phase. Therefore, several therapeuticstrategies have been proposed. Anadjuvant technique widely used in neurorehabilitation istheapplication of elastic tape (taping). However, its efficacy in the treatment of post-stroke subjects still require further investigation. Objectives: Toverify the immediate effects of taping applied on paretic shoulder on proprioception (joint position sense -JPS) and sensorimotor performance of UL during functional task (drinking). Methods: Thirteen subjects with chronic hemiparesis were randomly allocated into two groups: 1) those who received Sham Tape (ST) first and after one month they received Elastic Tape (ET); 2) those who received Elastic Tape (ET) first and after one month they received Sham Tape (ST). JPS was assessed using a dynamometer and quantified by absolute error of shoulder at 30° e 60° of abduction and flexion. Sensorimotor performance during drinking task was assessed using tridimensional analysis and quantified by spatiotemporal and scalar kinematic parameters (starting angles, rangeof motion, and angles at the end) as well as by study of time-normalized kinematic waveforms of trunk, scapula, shoulder and elbow through Statistical Parametric Mapping analysis. Tapes were applied on deltoid muscle (anterior, middle, and posterior)without tension followingthe muscle facilitation direction. All assessments were performed before and 10 minutes aftertapes application. Results: No differences were observedbetween groups at baseline for all variables. In the taping condition, both groups decreased absolute error for all movements and angles (moderate effect), improved shoulder position (moretomidline), reduced scapula protraction and trunk flexion with no changes in spatiotemporal parameters. In addition, taping provided an improvement in shoulder elevation, scapula lateral rotationand elbow extension (small to medium effects). No effects of sham tape were observed for both groupsin any variable. Conclusion: Taping provided an improvement in the shoulder JPS and UL joint motions during functional activity, pointing to its role as adjuvant therapy.

This paper presents the results obtained during the development of a didactic, interdisciplinary and contextualized alternative, using an approach that promoted elements of the Science-Technology-Society (CTS) and History and Philosophy of Science (HFC) movements. Three Didactic Sequences (SDs) were elaborated for the teaching of General and Inorganic Chemistry concepts, emphasizing the study of the inorganic functions and the synthesis of inorganic compounds. Within this proposal, guided by the official documents of Brazilian education, Chemistry and its relation with the use of Inorganic Pigments (IPs) in the social-historical scenarios played a fundamental role in the development of the aforementioned contents. The research methodology used in this work was characterized as qualitative, seeking a better understanding of the problem researched from observations directly extracted from the subjects with whom the researcher sought to establish a direct interaction. From the application and analysis of the previous questionnaires and characterization of the profile of the institution where the research was developed, SDs were elaborated that related the contents with the pictorial use of the PIs. The first SD dealt with oxides chemistry in rock paintings; the second SD dealt with the Acids, Bases and Sals involved with the pigments used in the Egyptian funerary murals (both SDs applied to students of the High School Integrated to the Technician in Chemistry); the third SD approached in an integrated way the Chemistry of the four Inorganic Functions from the perspective of the works of the natural artist of Capivari, Tarsila do Amaral (applied in Chemistry Technician in the Concomitant / Subsequent modality). After the application of the SDs, the materials produced by the students (mock-ups, panels, written evaluations and technical-scientific reports) were analyzed and it was possible to verify evidence of the presence of elements of CTS and HFC the occurrence of learning chemistry, but also a more humanistic and integrated approach to social aspects, as recommended in the National Curricular Parameters for High School (PCNEM). This research also made possible the students' contact with aspects related to the creativity of the Chemical Science and its contribution to the Plastic Arts, a role little explored by textbooks.
