    This dissertation brings a study about the determinants of the chinese productive capital internationalization, on the period of 2006 to 2015, and the importance of the State and its industrial policy in this process. China has been adopting a differentiated industrial policy in comparison to the developed countries. This policy is bringing positive output into the economic and structural sphere of the country, influencing China‘s enterprises internationalization too. Furthermore, China has stood out because of the non-traditional approach it has used to internationalize its enterprises, the system of comparative disadvantages, which has brought positive returns to the economy and development of the country. Hereby, this dissertation shows the fundamental role of the State in the economic development of China. Finally, there is the intention to analyze, through an empirical approach, to which countries the chinese investment is directed, to which kind of sectors and for what purpose. This will be based on Dunning‘s eclectic paradigm. The results were like expected. There‘s more chance of China investing in countries with higher GDPs and strategic assets indicators, like United Stated, Japan and Germany, and natural resource indicators, like United States, Brazil and Australia, with the purposes of market-seeking, strategic asset-seeking and resource-seeking, respectively.

    This thesis aims to study the disputes and hierarchies regarding the access to water in two Agrovilas, Campinas and Birigui, of Reunidas Agrarian Reform Rural Settlement, located in the municipality of Promissão, in the state of São Paulo. The choice to develop a case study in these two Agrovilas is based on the fact that they present differences in their land structures regarding the access to water. Water considered as a key element to treat in a broad way the environmental issue in that territory. The methodology adopted to research the two Agrovilas was the testimony collection within the oral history perspective. However, as one of the determining elements of these disputes and hierarchies are linked to the management of water resources, which is carried out by the Lower Tietê River Basin Committee, a semi-structured interview was also conducted with the vice-president of the Committee and the documents produced on management and water collection were analyzed. The main results of the research show that due to changes in rainfall regimes with greater periods of drought in the Settlement region, the settlers who have more access to water are in a privileged position as regards the possibility of tracing production strategies. The disputes and hierarchies resulting from this land arrangement eventually were translated into discursive conflicts within the Settlement between those who have and those who do not have access to water. This water shortage increased in the years of 2013/2014, due to a great drought period in the state of São Paulo. This fact raised a rumor about the possibility of charging for the use of water. However, the settlers did not have enough information about how and which institution would perform this collection. Thus, it can be noticed that the Committee is an institution not known by the settlers. Despite they don't know the Committee the settlers are against the model of regulation of water resources which is based on technics and money. Thereby, it is possible to realize the conflict between two territorialities, that of the Committee, with a technical and monetary vision, and that of the settlers, with a view contrary to monetarization and the external regulation of a good that the settlers deem free to be accessed. From these disputes and hierarchies between the settlers themselves and between the settlers and the Basin Committee it is possible to visualize the necessity to think of a management model that is more open to receive the demands and to recognize the knowledges from distinct social groups that historically deal with the water.

    It has been increasingly constant and mediatic the mortality of bees with regard to beekeeping activity and the environmental benefits for the ecosystem balance. Several factors under the responsibility of human action are pointed out as potential precursors of mortality or weakening of colonies. Environmental contamination by the use of agrochemicals and other chemical products and the current agricultural model based on extensive monoculture areas can be mentioned as examples. From the perspective of apicultural production, the social, economic and environmental spheres are included. For the discussion of the challenges that beekeepers are currently facing in the activity, interviews were conducted with 26 beekeepers from the Araraquara microregion, in the state of São Paulo. The pesticides are considered as potentially toxic to pollinators and the orange monocultures of the region are of beekeeping interest. Thus, we sought to investigate, by field survey, the main active principles used by the citrus agro-industries of the study region. The contact was made by phone call and formalized by a Term of Responsibility. The objective was to describe the sublethal effects that these products are capable of causing Apis mellifera bees. The orange honey produced in the region was used as a matrix for laboratory analysis of residues of the active ingredients obtained by liquid and gas chromatography. It was verified that most of the pesticides under discussion belong to the chemical group of neonicotinoids and organophosphates, which are capable of causing a series of damages to the individuals and integrity of the colony. No residues of the agrochemicals obtained in the samples of orange honeys of the region were detected, but the mortality of bees in apiaries remains a frequent problem according to beekeepers interviewed.

    The National Policy of Solid Waste (NPSW), established by Law nº 12,305 of 2010, is the principal policy on solid waste management in the country. The intention of this dissertation is to evaluate the NPSW as a regulatory mark that provides changes in the legislations of the three levels of government, national, state and municipal, until the year 2017. The methodological aspects included documentary analyzes of the national normative and legal framework for solid waste management and before the validation the expert panel method; analyzes of the state solid waste policies published; and a case study in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro referring to municipal legislation. The selection of the municipality was due to the easiness of access and availability to its legal framework and the national importance that the municipality represents. These analyzes are based on transformations of these frameworks, national and municipal, and the state policies against the NPSW’s publication. The results showed that NPSW is a mark for solid waste management and that it was, in part, a provider of changes in the legal framework of the federated entities, because the current national framework is consisted by 77% of legal parts published until 2009, and 23% after this year which have influenced the content established by the NPSW. Despite the changes resulting from the NPSW, some institutions provided by law do not correspond to norms and regulations, impacting on their effectiveness. About the state policies, 30% were published after 2010, or underwent updates to suit national policy, but 26% of states do not yet have their own policies. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, the PMGIRS was published after the promotion of the NPSW, although it presented laws and decrees that encouraged the creation of a plan in pre-2010 years. Thus, the NPSW as a normative and regulatory framework was responsible for providing some changes in the national, state and municipal legal frameworks, but still presenting weaknesses in its execution.

    The work developed with the use of playful materials plays a fundamental role in the teaching and learning of Mathematics, especially in the field of Spatial Geometry, carried out with high school classes. The didactic sequence based on Didactic Engineering, was used as a form of investigation, and a posteriori analysis was carried out, which shows that learning from the use of concrete materials gives students a greater assimilation of mathematical content. The activities carried out in this work are also intended to improve teacher practice, being an important tool in the construction of meaningful learning, to be used in other moments in the classroom.

    The most basic meaning of "multimodality" is the use of multiple means of information to compose an "artifact", a man-made object that expresses a concept. In our day-to-day life, most media outlets use multimedia to express information: news are composed of videos, narrations and ancillary texts; theater plays tell a story from actors, gestures and songs; electronic games use the player's physical gestures as actions, and respond with visual or musical cues. To interpret such "artifacts," we have to extract information from multiple media and combine them mathematically. The extraction of characteristics is done from mathematical models that receive raw data (texts, images, audio signals) and turns it into a numerical vector, where the distance between instances denotes its relation, where close data encode similar meanings. To create a multimodal semantic space, we use models that `` fuse '' information from multiple data types. In this work, we investigate the interaction between different modes of information representation in the formation of multimodal representations, presenting some of the most used algorithms for vector representation of texts and images and how to merge them. To measure the relative performance of each combination of methods, we use classification and similarity tasks in databases with images and paired texts. We found that in our data sets different methods of unimodal representation can lead to vastly different results. We also note that the performance of a representation in the data classification task does not mean that such representation does not encode the concept of an object, having different results in similarity tasks.

    In this thesis, we use Fermi liquid theory to deal with three problems. The first and second problems are about a direct and an indirect detection of the amplitude massive ‘‘Higgs’’ mode in weak ferromagnets like ZrZand M nSi predicted by the ferromagnetic Landau Fermi liquid theory. The third problem is the enhanced domain wall velocities due to strong ferromagnetic fluctuations. We divided this thesis as follow: In chapter one, we did a general introduction to what this thesis deal with. In chapter two we review some topics in Fermi liquid theory necessary to understand the text ahead. In chapter three we approach the problem about the collective massive ‘‘Higgs’’ mode in weak ferromagnets and we also showed our results (dispersion relaxation and structure form factor) what can be compared with experimental results obtained from inelastic neutron scattering (a direct detection of the amplitude ‘‘Higgs’’ mode). We calculated the spectra of the collective modes in the presence of an external magnetic field and we observed that the massive amplitude ‘‘Higgs’’ mode has a 3-fold degeneracy when the spin vector wave q is not parallel either perpendicular to the external magnetic field ẑ. Still, in chapter three, we obtained a promising equation of state to the magnetization when we consider a second order phase transition theory to the energy of the ferromagnetic Fermi liquid and when we keep all second-order terms in the expansion of magnetization and in deviation of distribution function due to Fermi surface distortion. It was done to explain the Yelland observation of the decay of magnetization on weak ferromagnets like ZrZwhich it does not occur like in F e i.e. it is not a consequence of spin wave effects (magnons) and the decay of magnetization can be related to ‘‘Higgs’’. In chapter four, we introduced briefly the concept of the domain wall and we studied the dynamic of it for the situation where an induced electric current is applied to it. We assume the electric current charge carriers to behave like Fermi liquid. As consequence, we showed the domain wall velocity close to ferromagnetic critical point increases and at the same point the critical density spin current decreases.

    The soil preparation for the implantation of forest planting is intended to improve the conditions for the development of the plants. This study evaluated the influence of three methods of soil preparation in the initial development of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla. The treatments used were: manual pit, specialized subsoiling and conventional subsoling. The experimental design applied entailed randomized blocks, being 6 repetitions with 100 plants per parcel. Plant height evaluations were made at 4, 8 and 12 months and the canopy base diameter at 4 and 8 months. The diameter of the breast height and the volume were also evaluated 12 months after planting. The data was subjected to the analisys of varience and complemented with Tukey test to 5% probability for averege comparisons. The following results were obtained: the average height of plants was influenced by the method of soil preparation in all evaluations, being the specialized method superior to the others the average canopy base diameter was higher in the specialized method, but it did not present statistical difference in the other tow methods (at 4 and 8 months), at 12 months the diameter of the breast height as well as the estimated volume of wood for specialized and pit method were superior to the conventional method. Based on the results of plant growth at height, conopy base diameter and diameter of the breast height, the specialized method soil preparing is recommeded, as it resulted in greater benefits to plants at an early stage of development. It should be highlighted that these results are preliminary and it is important to continue with further evaluations, allowing data to be obtained throughout the entire crop cycle.

    The hospital is a place that covers different phases of the human life cycle, from birth, diagnostic discoveries to proximity to finiteness of life, which favors the pursuit of essential meanings to life and the treatment process itself. Research shows that the inclusion of spirituality in the therapeutic processes can improve the patients’ quality of life as well as stimulate either a faster healing process or confrontation with the diseases. Thus, spirituality has been gaining ground in the academic world, being increasingly present in the triad patient-care in health-support team. This study aimed to identify how health professionals who working in the infectious diseases ward at Américo Brasiliense State Hospital, located in Américo Brasiliense, São Paulo, signify spirituality and how they offer spiritual care to hospitalized patients. This is an observational study with a qualitative approach, was carried out with 25 health professionals. Data collection was conducted through an open interview consisting of two guiding questions: "What does spirituality mean to you?" and "How do you offer spiritual care to hospitalized patients in the ward of infectious-contagious diseases?" examined using thematic content analysis. The results showed that professionals conceptualize spirituality as the connection with the transcendent, sometimes calling it God or superior Being, and perform spiritual care based on their own conception of spirituality, which causes difficulties when the subject, the focus of care, has a concept of spirituality divergent from that of the professional. Both the lack of and the little knowledge of the subject was highlighted as a limiting factor in the approach to the spirituality in the process of health care.

    The phenological studies contribute to the understanding of species regeneration and reproduction, temporal organization of resources within communities, interactions and coevolution between plants and animals. The objective of this work was to analyze the phenological behavior of the species that make up the vegetation of white sands in the Serra de Itabaiana National Park, Northeastern Brazil, relate it to the climatic variables (precipitation and temperature), and to characterize the fruits types of these species to determine diaspore dispersion syndromes. To record the phonological activity, biweekly expeditions carried out (September/2015 to August/2017). It was verified the occurrence of 115 species and 13 types of fruits, the most frequent: capsule (31.3%), drupoid (16.5%) and bacoid (15.7%). The main dispersion syndrome was zoochory (46.1%), followed by anemochory (27.8%), and autochory (26.1%). For the shrub-tree component, most of the species presented semi-deciduous phenological strategy (73.3%), with continuous foliar activity. Flowering and fruiting recorded peaks of intensity in the dry and dry-rain seasons, respectively. As for the herbaceous-subshrub component, most of the species also presented continuous foliar activity, and flowering and fruiting with intensity peaks at the end of the rainy season and beginning of the dry season, respectively. It was observed a predominance of zoochoric species (80.0%) for the shrub-tree component, and of autochoric species (39.4%) for the herbaceous-subshrub component, as well as different fruiting patterns between biotic and abiotic syndromes, with greater activity in the rainy and dry seasons, respectively, for both components of the vegetation. The temperature was the climatic variable that most correlated with the phenological events of the shrub-trees component, and the precipitation, with the phenological events of herbaceous-subshrubs component, suggesting that rainfall may be a limiting factor for most species of this component. Knowledge of phenology is fundamental to understanding the dynamics of plant communities.

    Collaborative consulting is a support service model that aims to help teachers with the inclusive education process of students with disabilities. This service model has emerged in the Brazilian literature related to Special Education as a possibility of a service in the Specialized Educational Service. However, although advances are taking place, few studies have investigated this support model intended for the area of Physical Education. Thus, it is important to investigate how the collaborative consulting support service can help face the challenges encountered by Physical Education teachers at schools who work in inclusive contexts in Brazil. Considering the above, the overall objective of the study is to plan, implement and evaluate a collaborative consulting program as a model for inclusion support in the context of Physical Education in schools. To do so, collaborative field research was conducted in which a consulting program was developed. Three teachers from regular schools who taught classes to students with disabilities participated in this study. The program was developed in four stages: 1) Building up and establishing relationships with the school community; 2) Identifying and defining the problem to be solved and planning the action plan; 3) Implementing the collaborative consulting program; and 4) Evaluating the Collaborative Consulting program. In order to plan the program, after building up a relationship with the school and the teachers, a survey was conducted of the difficulties encountered by each teacher. Then, based on the demands that emerged, the program was planned, carried out and later evaluated from the teachers’ perspective. Thus, three intervention programs were developed in parallel, which aimed to provide support services to physical education teachers based on collaboration. For each of the three programs, the following was defined as the demand for problem solving, respectively: a change in attitudes towards students with disabilities; student behavior management and the participation of students with disabilities in Physical Education classes. The results indicate that the collaborative consulting service in Adapted Physical Education was shown as a viable possibility of a strategy to support inclusion in the context of Physical Education classes, which can help general physical education teachers feel more confident when dealing with the challenges of school inclusion. From the point of view of the participating teachers, the program had an effect mainly on overcoming the limitations imposed by the lack of diagnosis and recognition and appreciation of the pedagogical practice of the teacher. However, for such actions to be possible, public policies need to be created that sustain support strategies based on collaboration in the municipal and state education networks, to make collaborative consulting a permanent service to support physical education teachers.

    In order to understand the speculative method used by Freud to elaborate the metapsychological concepts, this study uses as a strategy following the construction of the metapsychological hypothesis developed by the author in the article Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920). The study intends to show how the explanations based mainly on the biological model of the psyche lead to the sequence of speculative hypothesis that lead to the central (and quite controversial) concept of the 1920’s article, which caused a considerable turnaround in psychoanalytical theory – the death drive. For this purpose, we compared the schemes of psychic apparatus developed by Freud in 1895 and 1900 to the one exposed in Beyond..., emphasizing the difference between the psyche conceived through the mechanical and the biological models. In the abovementioned works, it is possible to verify that the author uses the mechanical model of explanation, referring to the flow of quantities, or the difference between rest and movement, conveyed from one to the other element in the psychic apparatus. The use of the biological model of explanation concerns to the evolution and the development of the elements that make up the system, responsible for the refinement of its performance, aiming at adaptation. In Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), the biological model of explanation has a major role, occasion in which the psyche is conceived from an evolutive perspective, since its origin and the assertions that are openly described as speculative constitute a crucial axis upon which the text is formulated. It is in this scenario that the drive’s finality ‒ the absolute discharge of energy or the return to the inorganic ‒ is expressly articulated.

    The objective of this research is to show how distributed, cohesive and coupled applications can be developed. The proposal is to use metaprogramming technics in compilation to automate part of the applications source code development, and to inspect the source code to find inconsistencies. For this purpose Treplica and Cyan were used. Treplica provides a structure to the distributed applications development, while Cyan provides the support to metaprogramming. These resources allowed the components creation, which can be used to develop replicated applications. In this research it was possible to apply metaprogramming to automate developmento steps of these applications, making the source code of replication better isolated from the rest of the application. The verification of this source code to find inconsistencies can also be made. This research does not intend to solve all automation possibilities of the replicated source code development, and it does not intend to solve all necessary verifications to the replication either. The objective of this research is to show that, using metaprogramming, it is possible to automate the development and the inspection of the applications source code in general.

    The study of green buildings consumer behavior, despite its importance, has been a subject little explored in the academic literature. However, a better understanding of this matter can generate greater industry interest, and attract in investment and development of this type of construction and raise public/consumer awareness about the sustainable aspects of buildings, expanding their perception and willingness towards green buildings. Thus, this research aims to identify the factors that influence consumer behavior of green buildings in Brazil. Firstly, a series of systematic reviews of the literature were carried out on the factors influencing consumers and were then analyzed in the light of the classical theory of consumer behavior, represented here by the Decision Process model of Blackwell et al. (2005). This led to the composition of the theoretical model presented in this paper, from which empirical qualitative-quantitative research was developed. In the qualitative approach, focus group techniques were used for validation of the proposed model along with in-depth interviews with owners of green buildings certified by the Green Building Council Brazil. The quantitative method used is a survey with the same population referenced above. The information from the survey was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, hypothesis testing and a multivariate analysis. The results demonstrate the importance of the influence of factors such as family and personal conceptions, as well as price, sustainable characteristics of the property, sustainability confidence in this type of building, green certification and consumer perception that this acquisition can make a difference in society in which they live. This is a pioneer study in Brazil, due to its comprehensiveness and for identifying a broad range of factors that can influence consumer behaviour towards green buildings.

    The present dissertation was based on a field work that had as objective to reflect on the role of education in the care of the people who left the long-stay hospitalizations of the psychiatric hospitals of Sorocaba, considering that some of these former residents of the hospitals returned to the school, in the context of Youth and Adult Education (EJA). After the contextualization of the Psychiatric Reform in Brazil and the specificities of the region of Sorocaba, the Youth and Adult Education Policy is discussed as an inclusive proposal, providing a reflection on education and humanization. The participants of the research were four people who had the experience of the long hospitalizations, residents of the Therapeutic Residences of the city of Sorocaba and that are inserted in the school system, in the EJA modality, besides three teachers, a school coordinator and a psychologist. The qualitative analysis of the narratives showed that the early age interruption of regular studies generated a feeling of sadness and resignation. The EJA, after the deinstitutionalization, in turn, proved to be an opportunity to recover a right that had previously been denied from them. School experiences are permeated by insecurities and fears, because once some stigmas (“the crazy”, “the insane”, “the dangerous person”, "the silly one", “the funny guy”) seemed to stifle the potentialities that could respond to the desires and raise new possibilities of life for these people. The night classes, the fear of passing through the city in an initially unknown territory, the embarrassment of "not knowing" and the feeling of inferiority did not prevent these people from facing the stigma of psychiatric hospitalization and the doubt about their own ability aroused by some teachers. The EJA appeared in the narratives as a place of formation of bonds, affective exchanges, a space of socialization and also as a place to expand the possibilities of the future, because it has given rise to desires for work. It is concluded that the experience of psychosocial rehabilitation should not be focused only in the area of mental health, since many of the conflicts and wishes of these people come from different fields, as in this case, from the education, evidencing the need for the intersectoriality of policies concerning psychiatric deinstitutionalization.

    Humans have always been related to the environmental resources, in the search to progress and to develop the place where they lived, also aiming to ensure a future to the descendants. This relation was transformed over the years, with industrial, agricultural and technological development, they became cooler. In the rural environment, the people who live and develop there tend to have a greater affectivity towards resources, the constant presence between them strengthens these relationships, thus, Agrarian settlements are places where there is a greater connection of beings and environment. Knowing how these people have built their relationships with resources and what the current environment means to them, is important when thinking about development policies for Settlement development, these particularities serve as an essential information to take in mind when discussing and seeking improvements, elucidating the subjective reflections direct at an approximation between public organs and settlements. Thus, the general objective of the research was to describe and analyze the relationships between the settlers of the Santa Helena Settlement, in São Carlos/SP, and the environmental resources earth, water, plants and animals. The research presents two methodological steps, the first one, a bibliographical survey on the essential subjects in the dissertation and the second one based on the qualitative research and the case study, developed with the settlers in the Santa Helena Settlement, through semi structured interviews. From this, the central relations of each resource present in the settlers' speeches were extracted and a part of Lévi-Strauss's theory of structuralism, the binary pairs, a conception of opposition and correlation was used as data analysis. The main points of this relationship. It was then concluded that the present work has been able to answer the questions and objectives described, as well as elucidate the importance of identity, environmental knowledge and subjective issues of each person, in addition to a critical approach to agrarian reform policies and Sustainable Development Projects. It is observed a valuation of the environmental resources by the settlers, besides the pride of a healthy production. Leaving thus, several questions and perspectives for future work that seek to encompass the perceptions of resources, these distinct communities and the dynamics of the work involved.

    The alternaria brown spot, caused by Alternaria alternata f sp. citri, causes large economic damages in tangor Murcott (Citrus sinensis Osbeck x Citrus reticulata [L.] Blanco). Its control is carried out through the spraying of agrochemicals, implying up to 15 pulverizations per year, which causes an increase in the production costs of the cultures and damages to the environment. As an alternative, the use of microorganisms, in particular Bacillus spp., has been used to diseases’ control. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the viability of Bacillus spp in in vitro and in vivo conditions. The methodologies were based on the interactions between biological control agents (Bacillus spp.) and the phytopathogen A. alternata, evaluated by the paired culture technique, by the production of volatile, thermostable and cell-free metabolites by different Bacillus spp. isolates. The molecular identification of the isolates tested and the efficacy of bacterial isolates were evaluated in leaves and plants under greenhouse conditions. The results showed that most of the isolates affected the development of phytopathogen and produced some types of metabolite, being antibiosis one of the probable mechanisms of action of the bacterium. The isolates ACB-01, ACB-07, ACB-08, ACB-18 and ACB-57 presented potential for disease control of A. alternata.

    Noise is present in all applications of digital imaging. Due to its stochastic nature, it is impossible to determine exact procedures to completely remove noise from the image. Thus, the target signal may be affected during the noise attenuation process due to the smoothing of fine details and image structures or by the introduction of visual artifacts. State-of-the-art denoising algorithms are effective in removing noise, however, they can cause image artifacts. Furthermore, most of these algorithms are formulated under the assumption of the additive noise model. The problem of denoising Poisson-corrupted images is still an open issue and represents a great challenge, since the noise in this model is signal dependent. This property implies that the parameter of the underlying stochastic model are also dependent of the noise-free image, which is unknown in practice. The objective of this research was to propose novel approaches to address the problem of parameter estimation and noise reduction of Poisson-corrupted images, based on the use of stochastic distances as measures of similarity between distributions of random variables, capable of preserving small details and fine image structures, while avoiding the introduction of visual artifacts. Two novel approaches were proposed: (1) Poisson Wiener filtering with non-local weighted parameter estimation in the spatial domain; and (2) Wiener filtering with non-local estimates in the Haar wavelet transform domain, using stochastic distances as similarity measures between patches of wavelet coefficients. In the spatial domain, stochastic distances between distributions of Poisson variables can be used to define weighted estimators of the first and second statistical moments of the signal and noise in order to compute the Wiener filter for Poisson-corrupted data. In the Haar wavelet domain, the wavelet coefficients can be modeled as Skellam variables. Closed-form solutions for the stochastic distances between Skellam distributions could not be obtained, therefore, the Gaussian distribution was proposed as an approximation. The detail sub-bands can be denoised in the Haar wavelet domain using a non-local algorithm based on stochastic distances as similarity measures between wavelet coefficients. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed methods are competitive with related state-of-the-art algorithms. In general, among the proposed approaches, the technique based on the use of wavelets demonstrated a greater efficiency in the reduction of noise and preservation of details.

    The Black Lion Tamarin, Leontopithecus chrysopygus, is a primate species endemic to the State of São Paulo and considered State environmental patrimony. It is on the international red list of species in the category "Endangered", mainly due to loss and fragmentation of its habitat. Roads cause direct negative impacts to wildlife, such as road kill mortality and the barrier effect. Wildlife crossing structures are implanted as a form of mitigation for both trampling and barrier effect, and canopy bridges are specific structures for semi-arboreal and arboreal species, such as primates. The aim of this study was to implement two "canopy bridges" fauna passages with distinctive designs in the Vicinal Domiciano de Souza road, GRI 253, Guareí-SP, in the crossing and trampling of black tamarin individuals, and involve the local community in protecting biodiversity. The fauna passages were installed in February 2017 and monitored for 13 months continuously, allowing the verification of functionality, use preference analysis and identification of the period of adaptation to the new structures inserted in the habitat. During the period of execution of the work, scientific dissemination actions were carried out in which information about biodiversity and local problems was shared with the purpose of sensitizing and engaging the community, thus promoting the formation of biodiversity conservation agents.
