Predicates of personal taste (PPTs) are, as suggested by their name, predicates that speak of the personal taste of the speakers who utter them. They are diferent from the other predicates because they generate between the spekers disagreements in which, although one directly denies what the other says, no one is uttering something false – a phenomenom that has been called faultless disagreement in the literature (Lasersohn, 2005). In this work, we investigate some of the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of predicates of personal taste, approaching the main problems that these items generate (the faultless disagreement being one of them, but not the only one), and how the literature about the theme deals with these problems and proposes a treatment for PPTs. We focus on three approaches: the relativist (Lasersohn, 2005; Stephenson, 2007), the contextualist (Pearson, 2013), and the expressivist (Gutzmann, 2016). Furthermore, we show how dta from Brazilian Portuguese contributes to the study of these constructions, casting a light on problems that are not approached in the English-directed theories, like, for example, the classification of these predicates in individual or stage level, and also how syntactic aspects of the language contribute to the generation of different inferences related to PPTs. Finally, we also show other items that behave in a similar manner to taste predicates and that could also be treated by a theory that is capable of explaning PPTs and their problems.

Protected areas are considered one of the most important elements for biodiversity conservation. One of the pillars that sustain the management of these areas is scientific research, which provides the knowledge necessary for the conservation of environmental and historical-cultural heritage. The general objective of the present study was to evaluate the current state and propose improvements in the management of research of the State Parks of São Paulo in light of already existing practices of Knowledge Management. By the analysis of Research Programs present in the Management Plans of the Units, we identify the main aspects that underpin the research management and evaluate their effectiveness within the current context of each Park and for all the system (set of Parks). The main challenges pointed out in the evaluation were related to the lack of assurance regarding the return of the results of the surveys for management of the areas; the insufficiency of human resources directed to the execution of the activities foreseen in the Research Programs and the monitoring process carried out without periodicity and systematization. We could also observe the low correlation between well-managed Management Plans and Research Programs and the satisfactory performance of the actions foreseen in these documents, suggesting that the process of research management in these areas is not necessarily being directed by some planning instrument.

The use of toxic bait represents an important tool when dealing with important agriculture and silviculture plagues, where hesperidin flavonoid complexation with magnesium(II) generates a compound (Mg(hesp)) with high effect against cutting ants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of Mg(hesp) (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 e 1000 ng mL-1) using cytogenetic and biochemical biomarkers in vitro (zebrafish hepatocytes – ZF-L) and in vivo (Neotropical fish Prochilodus lineatus). Mg(hesp) has great impact in cell population (confluence and morphology) and in activity of cellular organelles (mitochondria and lysosome), in addition to affect cellular stability through generations of reactive oxygens species mainly in higher concentrations (100 e 1000 ng mL-1). Biochemical responses include GSH and MT role as antioxidant and biotransformation molecules. Genetic influence of Mg(hesp) could also be detected in nuclear abnormalities and DNA instability, leading to alterations in cell cycle of zebrafish hepatocytes but with a probable activation of repair mechanisms. Membrane damage and apoptosis and necrosis pathways were not observed. Cellular effects of Mg(hesp) in ZF-L represent consequences of effects in several cellular compartments, which probably lead to alternative death cell pathways. In vivo analyses also showed Mg(hesp) influences, including hematological alterations, impacting on oxygen availability. Events of DNA instability (increasing in DNA fragments and nuclear abnormalities) in erythrocytes and hepatocytes also were observed. However, the absence of micronuclei formation is a strong indicative of an effective action of repair mechanisms. Biochemical responses in P. lineatus did not presented a clear pattern, but were effective in prevent membrane damages. Thus, results indicate that Mg(hesp) influences occurred mainly after 24 h of exposure, while fewer damages were observed after 96 h, suggesting a potential capacity of organism recovery, emphasizing the importance of more assessments of Mg(hesp) effect and the promising use of this compound.

The work presented here had as a proposal the development of a process adapted from the ice-template technique, using as solute sodium alginate an organic polymer of renewable and non-toxic source, which forms structures due to its crosslinking ability when in contact with divalent ions, such as Ca2+. The use of renewable polymers together with low cost processes for obtaining porous materials has great relevance for the development of a sustainable economy. The objective was to promote the simplification of the ice-template process, with lower cost for the technique from a freezing system, without the use of the lyophilization technique and the insertion of the gel into porous materials. The formed gels were submitted to drying by apolar solvents, morphological characterization by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and porosity and capillary tests. It has been determined that it is possible to produce porous materials through calcium alginate formulations in a simple manner, forming multidirectional and unidirectional pore materials. The formulation of 0,15 g/100g of sodium alginate with 0,0010 mol/L of CaCl2 was the best so far, to be used in the formation of porous gels, because of the best mass yield. Drying with the use of butanol was the one that best maintained the structural integrity of the gels and the coffee composites besides helping the gel structure, allowed the prospection for new applications to the gels produced. We have proven the concept of permeating the freezing formulation in porous materials and producing freezing gels inside their pores

The demand and use of the floor and concrete system has been mainly due to good characteristics and constructive systems that associate steel and concrete. A slim floor composite is defined for the floor system whose beam is supported on the lower flange of the steel profile. In relation to this system, there is a great lack of studies related to the behavior of the composite joint beam-to-column. In view of this, this work sought to develop a numerical model of the composite joint beam-to-column belonging to the slim floor using the software Abaqus®. A composite joint beam-to-column investigated consists of shear steel plate and negative reinforcement of the composite slab. The following method for the development of the numerical model for its validation, including an extensive study on the effect of the constitutive models of the materials composing a composite joint as well as the steel-concrete interface. The numerical model presented a good correlation with the physical model, being validated through the relation Moment vs Rotation with experimental results available in the literature. The influence of the reinforcing ratio of the concrete slab was evaluated and the values of moment resistance and initial stiffness showed to be dependent of these parameters.

This research aims to analyse the culinary language based on the concept of denominative variation that is applied on several studies theoretically developed under the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CABRÉ, 1999). Our scientific framework is conceived of 280 websites in which recipes and the videos that demonstrate how to prepare them are inserted, which define a very specific content for the research. The text extracted from the recipes was compilated to form a specific corpus (CR) and all the videos were transcribed and compilated in a corpus of transcription (CT). The general hypothesis claims that the denominative variation between the two modalities is small (from 10 to 20%) due to the specificities of our research object and the methods applied to the selection of the lexical units that must be colected from the corpora. This expectation goes against the perception that the degree of specialisation determines the level of variation in a language, so the less specialised is the domaine, the more is the level of denominative variation. The 40th most frequent simple lexical units (SLU) were listed in order to search for compound lexical units (CLU) in the corpora, using a software called Unitex. The analysis also take into consideration the context of usage of the lexical units, through which them we can verify some special aspects associated to the functional factors that affect the units and even concerning the textual composition, in the case of the written texts of the recipes. We extracted 390 ULC and from which 66% are found in both of the corpora (oral and written modalities); 18% are exclusively CR (written modality corpus) and 16% are found only in CT (oral corpus). Even though we have extrated only 22 cases of variants, the general results and linguistic data that are observed show that the variation is more representative than expected, with relevant rates of exclusive variations to one modality. This confirms the relation between a low rate of specificity of the language and its potential of lexical variation.

Species around the world are increasingly exposed to new threats due to human activities. The main threat is the landscape modification by human activities, resulting in demographic and genetic pattern changes of species populations. Habitat loss and fragmentation may promote the reduction of population size and thus can result in changes in species community. In addition, the modification of landscape can act as a barrier to the individuals movement, limiting gene flow and the population viability. In addition, the needs of searching for new areas to the establishment of territories, may expose individuals to new threats, such as road killing, which is currently considered an important threat to species. In this scenario, some groups are even more sensitive, for example carnivores, which already occur naturally in low densities and require large home ranges. In this sense, this work had as main objectives to evaluate the demographic aspects (minimum population size, abundance and density) of the feline community in four study areas in São Paulo state (Estação Ecológica dos Caetetus, Fazenda Rio Claro da Duratex, Floresta Nacional de Capão Bonito e Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho) using non-invasive sampling and molecular technics. In addition, considering P. concolor as a model, we verified the distribution of its genetic diversity and the occurrence of population structuring in a fragmented landscape within São Paulo and Minas Gerais states. We also evaluated the impact of the loss of individuals due to road killing for the population viability of Puma concolor. The results show an influence of the characteristics of the areas for the occurrence of feline species directly related to their characteristics and requirements. In addition, the results indicate that the loss and fragmentation of the habitat already may represent an important factor for the dispersion of individuals of P. concolor, resulting in the structuring of their populations. This species also suffers the impact of road killing on the loss of individuals which, in long term, also may represent a loss of genetic diversity in their populations. In this way, this work demonstrates, under different aspects, the demographic and genetic impacts on feline species in an increasingly modified environment.

Seeking to work in a contextualized way a critical environmental education in urban area, we immerse ourselves in a study about the relations established by human beings with other beings in green spaces. We believe that these spaces are spaces allow, besides the existence and the conviviality of human beings with other beings, the education of relationships continuously and mainly through the education of attention. Based on the paradigm of phenomenology, the objective of the present work was to identify the relations that guide the look and live in urban spaces of people-other beings (human or not) seeking the feelings, sensations, emotions and motivations expressed by people, that interweave them to urban green places. The city of São Carlos, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, was chosen because it presents a context of revision of the Master Plan of the municipality and a history of mobilizations in favor of green spaces. We collect data with two distinct groups of people in two different processes. The first group was formed by 14 people participating in a university extension project. Using education of attention, dialogical practice and aiming at the formation of values the course of extension of environmental education and urban green areas was developed over eight months. Individual and collective materials were produced in this process and later analyzed by us. The second group participating in the research was formed by eight people engaged in the maintenance of urban green spaces. All the participants were residents of the same area where the extension course of the first group had been held. We selected this area because it is one of the discussion areas of the Master Plan because it is predicted to urban growth. We conducted interviews with the walking interview methodology as a way to expand the collection of data related to these people's relationships with the green spaces. From the statements and reports generated, we selected the parts that instigated us for analysis and reflection. Three articles with the selected data were produced. The first one with the data from the student group gave us the elements to understand how a practice of attention education can prioritize the work with values and place them as the founding element of our choices, actions and (re) choices. The second article, with the data of the group of dwellers allowed us to delve into relationships established throughout a continuous education through the flow of life. And the third article, using data from both groups, allowed us to understand the power of working environmental education in urban green areas. All the participants came together to reinforce the urgency of revising the building of values established in our society. To understand ourselves as collectives, to understand ourselves in knowing the other (human or not), to respect existences, to keep continuous the practices and actions that allow a return to relationships were poignant in our reflective process. Finally, we reinforce here the role of a critical educational practice, dialogical and in search of more equal relations within a historically exclusive urban space.

This thesis aims to analyze the educational conceptions into teachers` practice in multigrade schools an express the main idea called Por uma Educação do Campo acording to educational policy to this modality teaching. As a teorical reference this study is based on Historical-Critical Pedagogy, whose the espitemological focus are reaseoned onto a marxist theory, which get a possibility to perceive the pedagogical process under the education goal. The main question used to carry out this research is: In what extend the educational practice of multigrade teachers assumes and express the conceptions of education that are present in the educational policies, delivered to the rural education? The hypotheses are: 1. The practice of rural teachers are based on a different approach from the conception Por uma Educação do Campo and founded on educational policy. However, both teacher`s practice and educational policy, follow the neoliberalism support, contributing to make fragile the struggle of the workers that living in rural area; 2. The historical-critical pedagogy theory, support that people must have access to the scientific knowledge made historically by humanity and in a unique education, in terms of contribute to personal development in a critical way and become aware of the need of social transformation . This idea presents as a choice to overcome the proposals based on neoliberalism orign. The main idea is that teachers working in multigrade class do not understand the educational theory as the Historical-Critical Pedagogy or even By a Field Education conception in a way that enables them to make it in practice. The reseach was conducted in rural schools with multigrade class in two cities at the Papagaio Beak / TO area: Tocantinópolis and Araguatins. The reseach methods used were the bibliografic reseach, documentary reseach, locus reseach, focus group, interview ans questionary. Through the research, it was found that by following the educational policy made official by the State, these cities obey the prerogatives put in the official documents that were made based on international agreements that are based on the Jacques Delors` report of the United Nations on education for the 21st century. However, the multigrade teachers` practices in schools present a gap of knowledge of the pedagogical conceptions into the the official recommendation and the ideals of Por uma Educação no Campo, nevertheless it contributing to the ideological project of the dominant social class, even in an unintentional way. Its makes evident that both pedagogical practice and rural educational policy follow the neoliberalism origin making fragile the awareness for the rural worker in terms of overcome the class society.

In this work, we consider first a class of concave-convex type elliptical problems with sing-changing weight functions that satisfy some additional conditions. Still, we work with the magnetic laplacian operator. We prove that there are at least four solutions to the problem in question. We seek to establish regularity results for solutions. Exploring the relationship between the Nehari variety and the fiber application, we discussed the existence of at least two solutions to the problem. We use category theory to ensure the existence of a third solution and a Bahri Li argument to show the existence of a fourth solution. In a second moment we study a convex type problem with weight functions that can change signal and satisfy some additional conditions. Also using the Nehari method combining with arguments from Krasnoselskii's genus theory and a deformation-type argument, we discussed the existence of infinite solutions to the problem by varying the assumptions about the weight functions.

Given the current economic situation in Brazil, an efficient financial management, is more easily achieved if they are identified as priorities of future investments. In this context, the classification of the regional road network according to accidentality is fundamental in the definition of intervention priorities. Thus, this paper, in general, proposes to perform an analysis of the evolution of the accidentality of the road network of the central region of the state of São Paulo (DR-4 DER-SP), between the periods of 2010 to 2014. From the object of study, the data on road accidents were collected; These data were analyzed and treated in order to produce the road network in GIS platform. Then, the appropriate methodologies were defined to obtain the blackspots of the DR-4 road network. With the results obtained, the blackspots of the central road network of the State of São Paulo were identified through two methods, the accident rate and the severity rate, to compare the methods used. Thus, with the identification of these blackspots and with the series of the evolution of accidentality, it is possible to intervene on the highways to reduce the number of accidents in the region.

This study aims to investigate the influence of alcohol consumption on the performance of construction workers and what are the measures provided by construction companies in the prevention, identification and minimization of problems related to alcohol consumption. To reach the objectives of the study, a bibliographical research (for theoretical foundation and instrumentalization for data articulation) and a case studies in 03 works in the city of São Carlos / SP were carried out, characterizing itself from the point of view of its objectives as Descriptive research, transversal, quantitative. The sociodemographic profile, the pattern of alcohol consumption and the occurrence of accidents (of the last 12 months) were drawn from the 42 workers who composed the sample. This study allowed us to conclude that the pattern of alcohol consumption was predictive of the occurrence of delays, absenteeism, work accident, labor withdrawal and task execution time. It is also concluded that companies only adopt educational actions and that these are insufficient in the prevention, identification and minimization of problems related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

It is possible to identify the gender differences related to the use of psychoactive substances (SPA), such as the reason for use, comorbidities, cultural and physical factors. The SPA health policy indicates that it is invisible and homogenizing, and women face structural, systemic, social, cultural and personal barriers in the search for and permanence in treatments. The purpose of this research was to understand the health needs of women treated in a CAPS AD, to characterize their conceptions about the use and the repercussions for health. The theoretical framework articulated the understanding of gender and feminist movements, with the interweaving of health needs and conceptions of psychosocial attention. The methodology was the oral history of life, with the accomplishment of open interviews with nine women, for the apprehension of narratives about their life experiences. The interpretation of the data was the analysis of thematic content, in which it was possible to identify four thematic categories: 01) Psychosocial Phenomena, the points identified, as health need, were to strengthen family and affective bonds, the process of experiencing mourning, as well as to offer spaces for socialization and acceptance and Gender Violence is also a phenomenon to be taken considered concerning social health needs, taking into account the traumas experienced throughout life, the affective issues and the specificities of gender inequalities; 02) The Maternity Experience Phenomenon points out that motherhood is a health need because of its relation to the historical dimension of sexual and reproductive rights and the experienced stigmas, revealing the problems that raise when the right to be a mother is denied; 03) Regarding to the Health Repercussions - health needs are related to eating disorders, liver diseases, falls with fractures, difficulty in attention and memory, and hangover effects, as well as melancholy, sadness and loneliness in their different manifestations, such as suicidal ideation, depression and bipolar disorder and 04) Mechanisms for the Strengthening of Autonomy, the process of greater self-awareness and insertion into productive activities are strategies for health care, rescuing and valuing their potentialities. The perspective of the affections and bond with the relatives is an important action of to be problematized. We can identify that gender inequalities became evident in cases of violence, of financial dependence, of multiple roles with work and children, of demand to meet beauty standards, in the differences in work and income opportunities, and stigmatization through the use of SPA and family ties. These social and historical constructs of gender reflect the daily actions of women, and for some of them, consciously or not, the way of coping occurs through the use of SPA. From the perspective of psychosocial care, we seek to contribute to women and professionals who are ethically and technically involved in the care process, and in the clinic management, by overcoming the hegemonic forms of health care, offering improved listening and accountability of care for women

INTRODUCTION: Commonly health intercurrences happen with children in the school causing fatal events or those that culminate in sequels throughout the child's life. In this sense, the teacher should be familiar with first aid techniques, in order to be able to develop skills, prevent unnecessary injuries/consequences, and provide assistance to the child until specialized health support arrive in the school institution. As a strategy for training early childhood education teachers on first aid, educational interventions in health education are satisfactory. In this context, realistic simulation is an effective teaching technology, where questions of reality are repeated, in guided and controlled experiences, and where decision-making is allowed to be potentialized. OBJECTIVES: To analyze Realist Simulation’s contributions about school-age-child health intercurrences management in the school environment, in the experience of the elementary school teacher. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It’s a qualitative study, with an evaluation design of simulated activity, as an educational practice that is based on the concepts of Experiential Learning Theory. The study was carried out in three public schools of early childhood education and elementary education I of a city in the interior of São Paulo. An educational intervention was carried out with 45 teachers, with simulated scenarios in the first aid in the children's school, before the management of cardiorespiratory arrest, airway obstruction, convulsive crisis, falling with cut and hemorrhage. For data collection, 4 simulated scenarios were used, replicated 16 times, 4 focus groups and 27 individual interviews. The analysis of the data was made through analysis of qualitative inductive content. All the ethical recommendations established in Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council were followed. RESULTS/ DISCUSSION: The analysis allowed us to apprehend experiences that were grouped by similarity:1) Realistic simulation as an experiential learning resource; 2) Need for transformation of the teaching-learning process; 3) Accidents and health intercurrences with children: subjects for the school space; 4) (A) the 'super' teacher (r). The realistic simulation for the approach of teachers to the first aid theme is effective, as it promotes experiential learning and erupts with decontextualized teaching methods. It can be considered a teaching tool that allows the learner to sustain the knowledge throughout its life, by cognitive correlations with lived experiences. When the teacher participate in an educational intervention on first aid, can demonstrate that it is possible to reflect about the practice itself to be carried out, as well as validating the improvement of the decision making process. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The school environment is conducive to lifes’s risk. This study raises questions related to the professional, ethical and citizenship teacher’s role. Teacher’s professional qualification to attend health emergencies is still incipient and based on disconnected training of the work routine. Inquiries regarding the co-responsibility of the teacher over another assignment should be considered, as familiarization and approximation of first aid techniques as citizens is necessary, but not by exempting the government's responsibility to strengthen the school in the face of child safety and protection.

Mobile platforms can provide teaching programs that favor student learning. The characteristics of autonomy and personalization of mobile devices are factors that reinforce this. However, designing a teaching program requires an increased attention from the educator due to the particularities of the mobile platforms. This proposal presents a model for projects of mobile teaching studies. This model presents six steps for the elaboration of study plans considering as characteristics of autonomy of the student. This model was tested through an application for data storage machines and the application of tools for the use of a search engine tool. The application was designed according to the steps determined by the model and tested with the group of people. The results of the tests were satisfactory, thus concluding a viability of the proposed model. These charges refer to the use of the model for other systems that use mobile platforms.

Although not the primary etiology of diseases such as beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia, oxidative damage plays a crucial role in the aggravation of these diseases, contributing to the hemolysis and the short survival of the red cells in the circulation. Among the mechanisms to combat oxidative stress are the enzymatic antioxidant defenses such as SOD1, CAT, GPX1, and PRDXs, and the latter stand out for their abundance and high reactivity with their substrates. The main objective of this study was to associate the levels of PRDXs 1, 2 and 6 and its reducers TRX1, TRXR1 and SRX1 with the high ROS production observed in patients with beta-thalassemia intermedia (BTI) and sickle cell anemia. In addition, we analyzed the production of SOD1, CAT, and GPX1, as well as the NRF2/KEAP1/PKCδ complex, known to regulate the expression of enzymes involved in this work. For comparative purposes, we analyzed the protein levels of PRDXs 1, 2 and 6 in patients with the beta-thalassemia major phenotype (BTM). Our results showed significantly increased levels of PRDX1 in BTI when compared to healthy subjects and BTM, whereas PRDX2 was shown to be higher in BTM. However, the superoxidation levels of this enzyme are also higher in these patients, suggesting that the recycling of this enzyme is limiting the overall catalytic cycle. In addition, we observed an increase in the levels of TRX1 and SOD1 in BTI compared to healthy individuals, indicating an additional mechanism to reduce the high levels of ROS observed in these patients. Our data also suggest the participation of the NRF2 transcription factor in the regulation of the antioxidant enzymes analyzed in this work. With regard to patients with sickle cell anemia, the results obtained when compared to those of healthy individuals showed: reduction of the protein content of PRDX2, indicating a greater vulnerability of these cells to the EROS attack. In the extracellular environment, PRDXs 1 and 2 showed an expressive increase in the analyzed patients. The NRF2/KEAP1/PKCδ complex showed a significant reduction in their gene expression, indicating a possible limitation of the antioxidative response in these patients. Our data broaden the knowledge of the literature and reveal the regulation of new targets that can be evaluated for a better understanding of these diseases.

Sepsis is a subject of significant relevance due to the constant increase in its incidence. It is estimated that around 600,000 new cases occur annually in Brazil and 17 million worldwide. Therefore, it is considered a challenge for public health. To perform the early detection of sepsis, it is essential that the nursing team has knowledge about the content and is competent to identify the clinical manifestations and, consequently, to execute the pertinent interventions. The aim of the research was to develop a digital learning environment using the WebQuest methodology on sepsis and to perform the evaluation of appearance and content with specialist nurses in the area. It is an applied research of technological development with quantitative approach. For the development of WebQuest the following steps were covered: Conception and Planning; Development; Implementation and Evaluation of the WebQuest by the specialist nurses and the Health Surveillance Sector. A total of ten nurses took part in the research, of which eight specialists were distributed in the areas of Sepsis, Patient Safety and Nursing Informatics. And the other two nurses worked in the Health Surveillance Sector of a university hospital located in the interior of the state of São Paulo. WebQuest was evaluated positively in relation to its objectives, content, structure and presentation, activities and relevance, standing out as an effective strategy for the professional qualification in the nursing area. The results obtained from the evaluations of specialists and nurses of the Health Surveillance Sector contributed to assist in the adequacy of WebQuest in order to make it available to the target audience in the future. It is hoped that this material contributes to the development of innovative educational strategies through the use of active methodologies, aiming to provide quality and safety in health care, especially with regard to the topic of sepsis.

Family farming is a social and economic segment of strategic importance for the country, since it ensures an essential part of the Brazilian society's food supply. Recently a set of policies directed to the Brazilian family agriculture was constructed. Among these policies is the so-called institutional food market of family agriculture (PAA and PNAE) also applied to the Ribeira Valley region. In this context, the objective of the research is to analyze the perceptions of key actors regarding these two public policy programs, their relations with ATER and also with their social organizations. It was sought to identify, characterize and describe the main impacts resulting from access to PAA and PNAE. We adopted the qualitative approach from the comprehensive sociology, which guided the construction of the semi-structured interviews and the analysis of the material. The results show that the public policies studied have the potential to positively impact the reality of these farmers, but they present limitations on the reach of the target population (family farmers in the region of the study area), especially due to the lack of information and understanding of the operational the need for qualified technical assistance and improvement in associative and cooperative practices to obtain better results.

Introduction: Hypertension affects a quarter of the Brazilian adult population and is the main risk factor for myocardial infarction, stroke and chronic kidney disease, and has been considered a global health problem. Prospective studies have reported that lowering blood pressure may substantially decrease cardiovascular risks. Although advances in understanding the pathophysiology of hypertension and implementing effective prevention and treatment strategies, hypertension remains one of the major public health problems in the world. It is known that in the blood vessels, light (or photobiomodulation) induces NO release leading to vasodilation. Aims: In renal hypertensive rats (2K-1C), to evaluate the effect of Photobiomodulation (FBM) on blood pressure. Methods: Wistar rats of the Rattus norvegicus, specie were used. In agreed animals, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was determined by the technique of tail plethysmography (NIBP System-ADinstruments) before the surgical procedure and six weeks after this procedure. Hypertensive animals (2K-1C) with SBP greater than or equal to 160 mmHg were used. Subsequently, the hypertensive animals were anesthetized to implant the cannula in the femoral artery in order to evaluate the arterial pressure after acute photobiomodulation in different energies 0.6; 1.8; 3.6; 7.2; 13.8; 28.2; 55.8 and 111.6 Joule. In addition, it was performed vascular reactivity studies and the nitric oxide was quantified. Results: Our results indicate that the acute abdominal application of FBM at 660 nm induced a long-lasting hypotensive effect in hypertensive rats, being this energy effect dependent. The application of FBM in isolated aortic rings induced vasodilation by NO-dependent mechanism. Conclusion: We conclude that photobiomodulation with the red laser (660 nm) at an irradiation in the energy range of 7.2 to 55.8 J presents an effective therapeutic window to reduce SBP, PAD, MAP, HR and induces a hypotensive effect lasting, with loss of effect in higher energy irradiation (111.6 J).

Best management practices consist of technologies of low constructive complexity and low environmental impact, which aim to optimize the infiltration, detention and retention of rainwater, reducing runoff and high investments in hydraulic devices of traditional drainage. For these characteristics, they were used in landscape projects carried out in recent years in green areas in the city of Guarulhos - SP, with the purpose of solving the microdrainage of the projects, of valorizing the utilization of rainwater in the urban environment, as well as bringing improvements in the conditions environmental (soil, microclimate, greater diversity of flora and fauna species) of such areas. The objective of this work is to analyze the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) in 3 (three) projects of green areas of the municipality, from the point of view of hydrological functionality, urban insertion, implementation and maintenance costs, and user appropriation. Based on the PULS method - hydrological model of simulation - urban data collection of the surroundings, visits, photographic records of the place, elaboration of cost sheets and comparison with preexisting data, and interviews to the users of the places of study, results were obtained that demonstrated the potentialities and weaknesses of each BMP project implemented in public areas. In general, the evaluation showed that the BMPs have good acceptance by the user, mainly due to the urban insertion capacity of the projects carried out by the City Hall; that the implantation and maintenance costs of implanted BMPs were, on average, 16.25% lower than those of a possible conventional drainage implantation; and that the proper hydrological functioning of the structures has proved to be fundamental to the appropriation by the user. The work contributes, therefore, to the presentation of relevant aspects of the project of implantation of best management practices in public green areas of the cities, even in areas already consolidated, capable of promoting urban, environmental and, mainly, drainage improvements.
