The present work analyzes the Brazilian black music from the songs and the cultural work of the singer and composer Francisco César Gonçalves - Chico César - born in the municipality of Catolé do Rocha in the sertão of the State of Paraíba / PB northeast region of Brazil. In the 1990s, the composer abandoned his career linked to journalism and entered the Brazilian music scene, after participating in music festivals in Germany. Featuring a creative poetics in his productions, Chico César begins his career as a musician and composer in the city of São Paulo / SP rescuing a sertanejo (sertão da paraíba) framework and an Africanized grammatical lexic. The set of lyrics of the composer is classified as "communication" and "movement" and is projected with diasporic production, since it disarticulate the logic of the idea of nation present in the analyzes on "Brazilian popular music". The construction of music in Brazil, through Bossa-Nova and later Tropicália, which were understood as reactive movements to a kind of national-popular movement in music, is reoriented by the use of the African diaspora in the sense of African dispersion - creation and recreation of a sense of belonging determined by situations of oppression. The strategy to achieve this goal was to deconstruct the essentialization of difference by repositioning the tensions of the Afro-Atlantic style of the black repertoire and the body. The thesis is that the linguistic innovations (communication) and the transnational re-Africanized lexicon (movement) present in the lyrics, the forms of occupying a social space, hair styles, and the means to constitute and sustain community bonds are responses provided by music of the African Diaspora in reaction to Brazilian popular music. The idea is that the Africanized cultural production of Chico Cesar is critical and dismantles the theater of popular desires which is submitted by the notion of nationality, because from its social development, it constructs a new cultural politics of representation as a new ideological complex and theoretical.

This thesis has like a goal investigate the emergence of na área of freedon, the basis of a culture of freedom, as couterculture of na ethnically absolute regional and local identily. If aims to understand how it was possibile to create a conter-narrative created by africans, africans and their descendants in the attempt to aggregte their experiences in Frutal/Uberaba (MG). We investigate all forms of totalization that overlaps the experiences of these subjects – especially the narratives of orign of the cities – that produce cultural damages to theses populations. It is intended to delineate the inventions of meanings, displacements of meaning, the effect of which is the producion of descentralization where oppsitional symbolic forms are recorded. The research consisted by means of documents such as minutes of the municipal councils of Frutal/Uberaba (MG), admnistrative and birth admnistraive inquiries. In addition to researches in the Florestan Fernandes collecion, Minas Public Archives, Public Archive of Uberaba (MG), Public Archive of Frutal (MG). Here we defend the invention of a territoriality of the african diáspora by africans, africans and their descendants as part of the Black Atlantic rhizome.

In this dissertation, we approach three different contributions in measurement error model (MEM). Initially, we carry out maximum penalized likelihood inference in MEM’s under the normality assumption. The methodology is based on the method proposed by Firth (1993), which can be used to improve some asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimators. In the second contribution, we develop two new estimation methods based on generalized fiducial inference for the precision parameters and the variability product under the Grubbs model considering the two-instrument case. One method is based on a fiducial generalized pivotal quantity and the other one is built on the method of the generalized fiducial distribution. Comparisons with two existing approaches are reported. Finally, we propose to study inference in a heteroscedastic MEM with known error variances. Instead of the normal distribution for the random components, we develop a model that assumes a skew-t distribution for the true covariate and a centered Student’s t distribution for the error terms. The proposed model enables to accommodate skewness and heavy-tailedness in the data, while the degrees of freedom of the distributions can be different. We use the maximum likelihood method to estimate the model parameters and compute them via an EM-type algorithm. All proposed methodologies are assessed numerically through simulation studies and illustrated with real datasets extracted from the literature.

Objective: To investigate the influence of a circuit training protocol on body composition, thigh intermuscular fat, self-reported physical symptoms and physical function, physical performance, metabolic parameters, muscle strength and quality in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Three studies were carried out: I: Influence of a progressive circuit training protocol on intermuscular adipose tissue of patients with knee osteoarthritis: protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial; II: Influence of a periodized circuit training protocol on the body composition of patients with knee osteoarthritis: results from a randomized controlled clinical trial; III: A periodized circuit training protocol reduces intermuscular adipose tissue of the patients knee with osteoarthritis: results from a randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: 61 subjects with knee OA grades II and III, aged 40-65 years, and BMI <30kg / m², were randomized into three groups: periodized CT (n= 20); conventional strength training (ST) (n= 21) and educational protocol (EP) (n= 20). CT and ST participated in protocols of 14 weeks, 3 times per week. CT performed mild, moderate and intense exercises, progressively distributed in a circuit model. ST performed resisted exercises and the EP participated in lectures about healthy living. Baseline and post-intervention assessments were performed for all participants. Study II investigated body composition, functional performance tests (30-second chair test, 40-meter walk test, stair climb test), and questionnaires about pain, self-reported physical function and stiffness, and thoughts and feelings about pain. Study III investigated thigh composition, muscle strength of knee extensors and flexors, and muscle quality. Results: The results of Study II show that only the participants in the CT group showed a reduction of visceral adipose tissue, improvements in overall body composition, blood concentration of HDL and systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 14 weeks of training compared to the other groups. Both training strategies showed similar benefits in improving pain, stiffness, physical function and pain catastrophism, functional performance, and muscle strength in patients with knee OA. The results of Study III show that only the CT showed a reduction in the intermuscular fat of the thigh after 14 weeks of training. Both training groups showed muscle mass gain, muscle strength and muscle quality after 14 weeks of training; however, the CT presented muscle strength gain only for the knee extensors, while the ST presented a gain for the knee extensors and flexors. Conclusion: CT improves the body composition of patients with knee OA, reducing visceral fat, and intermuscular fat of the thigh. This training strategy reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and increases HDL concentration. CT was as effective as ST in muscle mass gain in the thigh, muscle strength gain of knee extensors, improvement in muscle quality, self-reported pain, physical function and stiffness, and functional performance in this sample.

The evolution of the Internet and the Web has given rise to a vast amount of text messages containing opinions. Although the importance of sentiment analysis has grown proportionately, the use of the traditional bag of words as a way to represent these messages computationally imposes serious limitations: the number of dimensions in the samples may be very high; information about the relative position of the words in the text is lost; the relation of synonymy is not captured, and no distinction is made between the different meanings of ambiguous words. Short messages, such as those posted on social media and instant messaging applications, often contain a lot of slang, abbreviations, phonetic spelling and emoticons, which aggravates the problem of computational representation. Lexical normalization techniques and semantic indexing, traditionally used to deal with these problems, depend on dictionaries and their maintenance is impractical given the speed of language evolution. Distributed text representations, which represent each word by a low dimensional vector, have the potential to bypass some of these shortcomings by capturing the similarity relationship among words, storing information about the contexts of their occurrence. Recent techniques have made it possible to obtain these vectors from the weights of an artificial neural network, which are optimized to maximize the probability of the contexts in which the word is observed. Later optimizations made it possible to generate these models with a much larger corpus, thus raising interest in these techniques. This work investigated and proved the hypothesis that the use of distributed text models overcomes the problems and disadvantages of the use bag of words in sentiment analysis in short and noisy messages, making it possible to dispense with the need for traditional lexical normalization techniques and semantic indexing, maintaining predictive power and reducing computational effort.

In the 1960s, the environmental debate took shape with the publication of two classics: Rachel Carlson's Silent Spring and Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb. The debate itself challenged the manner in which industrial capitalism acted in ways that caused the killing of other animal species in ways that undermined the fragile ecological that kept the relationship between man and the natural environment stable. Thus, the separation of the phenomena that cause the environmental disturbances of human action in relation to the nature of the harmful effects of animal mortality or the depletion of renewable resources, living or not, is under suspicion. In this text, the object of study is to observe in a logical line the perception of what is environmental collapse, from the analysis of bibliographical references, whose objective is to contextualize in the present how the action of man in the remote past in the history of the Mediterranean caused a environmental collapse that almost led to a food shortage collapse situation. In the same way, we seek to base on theoretical components the explanation versed within the interdisciplinarity between economics, ecology, and physics, in the light of complexity theory. From the results found, one can see an approximation of complexity theory with classical texts such as The Population Bomb or Our Common Future Report, or the Brudtland Report, similarly, by conducting an investigation into environmental indicators such as EPI. (Environmental Performance Index), it is clear that there is a strong convergence between the indicators of economic complexity (ECI) and the EPI.

Corymbia citriodora is one of the most cultivated hardwood species by small farmers in Brazil, it combines a high growth rate with high wood density. Its timber is used for a wide range of products, such as poles, railway sleepers, posts, scantlings, wharf and construction lumber. Despite its commercial importance, this species does not have a formal breeding program. Genotype-by-environment interaction (GE) is one of the most important elements in the management of a tree breeding program to define breeding zones and to select genotypes that are targeted to specific environmental conditions. The aim of this research was to estimate genetic parameters to understand GE patterns based on C. citriodora progeny tests. The experiment was established using 56 open-pollinated families in three different locations within the Luiz Antônio‟s experimental station in state of São Paulo, Brazil. The three sites differ contrastingly on their soil type (LVM: Red Latosol, QN: Quartzarenic Neosol, LVA: Clay Latosol). The following traits were measured at 30 years of age: total height (HT), diameter at breast height (DBH), stem form and survival. Based on these data the individual stem volume (VOL) was calculated. Statistical analyses and genetic parameters were estimated by REML/BLUP methodology. The MHPRVG (harmonic mean relative performance of genetic values) predicted by BLUP was used to analyze the productivity, stability and adaptability. Based on the genetic values, the genetic gains were estimated considering 4 selection methodologies combined with 10 intensity levels. And finally, an optimal intensity of selection regarding the diversity was calculated for methodology. The survival ranged from 38% (QN site) to 55% (LVC site). The overall mean values for HT and DBH were 26.79 m and 21.5 cm, respectively. The highest growth rates were found in the LVC soil. The GE was not significant to all growth traits. A complex GE was detected only for survival, proving the importance of choosing the right genotypes of the species to specific sites. The joint analysis showed a significant difference between families for DBH, survival and VOL. In the individual analyses, progenies growth traits performances were considerably different only in the QN site. This site also presented high narrow-sense heritability values. The estimated gains were low to moderate peaking 20% on QN site. The selection method that provides superior gains was the family selection. Considering the optimal selection regarding the diversity, the gains ranged from 3.36% to 5.68%, selecting different numbers of individuals. In summary, the families studied here presents potential to obtain considerable genetic gains through selection. However to keep these gains continuous over the next selection cycles it is necessary to incorporate more genetic diversity in order to increase the diversity observed among the progenies.

Microbes from Amazon river basin represent an unexplored biodiversity, with a huge metabolic potential. This ecosystem receives large amounts of terrestrial organic matter (OM), which promotes heterotrophic microbial growth. Microbial populations have been exposed for millennia to a complex OM derived from plants, and these communities must have developed metabolic pathways to degrade it. In the present work, 106 metagenomes from 30 sampling stations of rivers and lakes of the Amazon river basin were analyzed, covering the freshwater and coastal ocean areas. Using the gold standard techniques for assembly and gene prediction, the first gene catalog of freshwater microorganisms was generated, containing more than 3.7 million non-redundant genes, predominantly those of bacterial origin (35.73%). The present work comprises the hugest biodiversity ever sampled in Amazon river until now. As an auxiliary system, the AGSSY program was created to assist in the data mining of this catalog, proving to be fast and efficient in this process. The analysis of k-mers diversity suggests that these genes originate from local evolutionary processes. In addition, there is a stratification of the OM processing in the water column, possibly regulated by a sophisticated system of alternative carbon sources use, mainly based on tricarboxylates. The spatial structure of the OM processing genes suggests a zonation of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose degradation. Using hybrid binning methods, taking into account contigs composition and abundance, it was possible to reconstruct 51 non-redundant population genomes. Through the analysis of them, it was possible to verify abundant endemic species belonging to Bacteria and Archaea, with a predominance of the Proteobacterium phylum (39%). Population genome analyzes, together with the gene catalog data, suggest a sophisticated priming model for the degradation of terrestrial OM in the Amazon River. Such a model would be based on the retroinhibition undergone by organisms that oxidize lignin, and in a community of microorganisms using alternative carbon sources that blocks this effect.

In recent decades obesity has become a worldwide epidemic. It has been shown that excessive adipose tissue favors the development of associated diseases such as hypertension, type II diabetes and ventilatory changes. In addition, maternal obesity may interfere in the programming and embryonic, fetal and neonatal development of the neuroendocrine system, increasing the risk of cardiorespiratory diseases from infancy to adulthood. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic responses in young (P28-35) and adult (P90) offspring of dams submitted to the high fat diet (HFD). Adult Holtzman dams (240 to 260 g) were submitted to standard diet (SD) or HFD for a period of 6 weeks before mating and during gestation and lactation periods. The offspring was standardized for 8 pups on the third day of life, and were weaned at P21 and only male offspring were used and were fed with SD from this period to the end of the experiments. In young offspring (P28-35 and P40) and adult offspring (P90), we analyzed: a) metabolic profile; b) food and water intake; c) ventilatory responses during the activation of chemoreflex under conditions of hypoxia and hypercapnia; and c) changes in baseline blood pressure and heart rate, as well as baroreflex sensitivity. The results showed that young offspring of dams fed HFD present several changes in the lipid and metabolic profiles, as well as a higher urinary sodium excretion, an increase in ventilatory response to hypoxia and a reduction in baroreflex function. In adult offspring, part of the cardiorespiratory function is partially recovered, although there are still some metabolic alterations, such as increase of the adipose tissue and the serum concentration of triglycerides. In addition, adult offspring of dams fed HFD present hyperphagia. The results show that the young offspring of dams fed HFD has autonomic, ventilatory and metabolic alterations. Partial recovery of cardiorespiratory function in adult offspring of dams fed HFD suggests that these possible intrauterine changes were partially corrected during postnatal development and were adequate in adult life.

This monography aims to analyze the play D. João e Julieta, by the Portuguese writer Natália Correia (1923-1993), to, from there, reflect on authorship writing feminine in the Portuguese dramaturgical space, where the presence of women is still difficult and undervalued. Therefore, the choice of work is symptomatic, since, in it, we find the alteration of a social order established by the patriarchy, through a rereading and a deconstruction of tradition, centered, above all, on the Don Juan character image. With this, the proposed reading highlights the desacralizing gesture and the female perspective of the author by revisiting and recreating two figures from the theatrical universe: Don Juan and Julieta.

The phenomenon of violence has been considered a public health problem by WHO since 1996. In the scope of violence against women, intimate relationships are shown as one of the most common contexts for the occurrence of this phenomenon, characterized here, as violence between intimate partners ( Intimate Partner Violence - VPI). Knowing that most victims of IPV are women and that many of them are mothers, children can also be exposed to violence and both suffer from its consequences. Faced with this scenario, the separation can become a long and exhaustive process, guided by risk and protection factors, in which the woman needs to overcome myths and social beliefs to make the decision to leave or remain in the violent relationship. Thus, this study aimed to: analyze the narrative of women about their motivations in the decision to continue or interrupt this type of relationship, paying special attention to the separation process. Data collection was carried out in person and online through an individual interview lasting one hour. The interview was guided by the Interview Guide adapted from Williams (2010) and, in addition, the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-2) was applied for a standardized measurement of the extent of aggression. All participants reported having suffered psychological violence and nine went through episodes of physical violence, seven of whom had their children exposed to violence. All were separated at the time of the interview, however, two of them would have liked to have continued with the relationship and, in these cases, the decision to separate came from the partner. The data in this study can bring contributions not only to academic research, but also to professionals in the protection network and community, serving as a material to aid in understanding the vicissitudes of separation.

Parental Alienation (AP), present in Law 12.318 / 10, is relatively new in Brazil and requires further analysis as a growing phenomenon. It is defined, judicially, by parental behaviors of restriction and defamatory campaign of the other parental figure for a child and/or adolescent, configuring a psychological violence. It is a demand received and monitored by different Brazilian institutions and child protection services, especially by Guardianship Council, and has psychological and developmental consequences for children and adolescents inserted in the context of marital dispute and conflict in which the PA occurs. The present study was conducted with 10 guardianship counselors from a Guardianship Council in a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo. It aimed to understand how the participantes deal with and identified the phenomenon of PA, and allow them to act in a way that contributes to the protection of the child or adolescent through the exchange of information on the subject. The initial data indicated that the participants considered that PA referred to the use of the child, in the process of custody dispute or even separation / divorce, for their own benefit or to obtain some kind of advantage. After theoretical presentation and discussion about PA, there was a change in most of the answers to the consideration of PA as psychological violence. There was a greater variation in the importance of “brainwashing” as a determinant of PA, giving more importance, when compared with the pre-test, to variables related to the child (support to the alienating parent, use of inappropriate language, rejection) and parental behaviors (obstruction of access, emotional manipulation). Considering the cultural factors, the participants identified religion and socioeconomic level as variables associated with cases of PA. They pointed out difficulties in identifying the cases, as well as in the vignettes presented during the focus group. It was possible to observe, after the focus group, that they started to consider PA as psychological violence that has both men and women as alienators, and that has negative consequences for child development. It should be noted that the Guardianship Counselors showed resistance to participate (both due to the late observation of the relevance of the theme in the performance, as well as the belief in an increase in assignments). Future research in the area is suggested.

According to Historical-Cultural Theory, voluntary activity is a neoformation which appears at the end of pre-school age, becoming children aware of their actions and capable of controlling them. A delayed development of voluntary activity poses complications on their school life when they are not able to neither organize school activities nor focus attention. This research aims at assessing developmental indicators of voluntary activity, among 3-6 years-old children, from role play activity and structured and non-structured children´s play. The research was carried out in Brazil and in Mexico, having the following characteristics: in both countries participant observation with 3-6 years-old children in pre-school age was conducted. In Mexico, this research was carried out in a private school, and in Brazil, in a Children Education City Center (CMEI). Children ranging 5-6 years-old were evaluated by a neuropsychological assessment of voluntary activity and their teachers were interviewed. Data collected in Mexican school, where role play is structured by the teacher as a ‘principal activity’ pointed out that voluntary activity increased among the three groups assessed, as follows: as language passed from external to internal level; the initiative/independence increased by the introduction of symbolism in games; the decreasing of the level of distraction, which ensured the respect for regulations until the game ended; as children were capable of accomplishing actions that they were not out of the role play, for instance, the conflict resolution. On the other hand, in CMEI we observed the initial development of role play organized by children with no-structuring from the adult, despite of detecting voluntary activity indicators during the game. In this case, the indicators were unsatisfactory once we could perceive independence/initiative in some situations but also strictly attachment to objects, low use of verbal language and incapacity of solving conflicts. In view of this situation, the researcher conducted some specific interventions during games, attempting to operate on the ‘zone of proximal development’, and allowing the experiment of voluntary behaviors as well as progress in the way children organized games, as: increasing the time of commitment and the number of characters; exploring and sustaining a dialogue; exploring further possibilities of thematic; creating rules and solving conflicts according to social roles. Thus, we conclude that the social role play, intentionally organized by the teacher, promoted a greater number of actions indicative of voluntariness and with greater complexity, when compared to the role play without adult participation.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a psychological construct widely broadcasted in the last two decades, especially outside the academic environment. Several studies have been conducted regarding EI, but a larger scientific research framework is needed to consolidate EI as a capacity of intelligence and to demonstrate its relationship with other psychological constructs and variables from daily life. EI may be related to Intelligence (G), Social Skills (HS), gender, age, education, family income and characteristics of the organization environment. Hence, the goal of this research was twofold: first, to study the relationship between EI and G, HS and sociodemographic variables. Second, to investigate EI, G and HS as present in workers in different areas of the organization and in both leaders and non-leaders. As such, the research was divided in two separate studies. The goal of the first study was to analyze the relationship between EI and G, EI and the sociodemographic variables of age, gender, family income, education and EI and HS; the second verified the level of EI, G and HS presented by professionals in different areas and leadership roles in the organizational context. Both studies had the participation of 120 adults, aged 32.16 years in average (SD = 8.82, Md = 31), 84 (70%) men and 36 (30%) women, working in 24 companies in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. They took the Teste Informatizado de Percepção das Emoções Primárias (PEP) and the Teste Informatizado de Compreensão Emocional (TCE) to measure EI; the abstract reasoning and linguistic intelligence modules of the Bateria de Provas de Raciocínio (BPR-5) to check G levels; the Inventário de Habilidades Sociais 2 (IHS2-Del-Prette) and the Sociodemographic and Career Path Survey (Questionário Sociodemográfico e de Carreira Profissional – QSCP). The main results of the first study indicate a weak to positive and moderate correlation between EI and G testing; a moderate and negative correlation between age and emotional perception; a weak and positive correlation between emotional understanding and education and no significant correlation between EI and the HS variables and income. There was also no significant difference between EI scores for men and women. After a linear regression analysis, age and abstract reasoning were shown to be predictors of emotional perception and linguistic intelligence and abstract reasoning were shown to be predictors of emotional understanding. Results from the second study only showed significant differences between professional areas for abstract reasoning in BPR-5 scores; the affective-sexual approach and social resourcefulness, both IHS2-Del-Prette, factors; engineers/technical professionals had the best scores. There was a significant difference between EI scores from leaders and non-leaders. However, professionals in non-leadership jobs had higher scores than leaders, unlike the results found for assertive conversation, a factor in IHS2-Del-Prette in which leaders did better. Research results contributed to show the validity of EI in applied research, since it provided data for a better understanding of how EI is related to HS, how family income is related to EI, and how EI, HS and G are present and how they differ between leaders and non-leaders and among professionals in different work areas.

The present study had as objective to analyze the performance of the nursing team and organization of the home visits (HVs) of the family health units in the interior municipality of São Paulo. It identified the facilities, difficulties, and limitations of these professionals. This was an exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, with a sample involving 5 nurses and 10 nursing assistants. The results allowed to list and divide in two thematic units: The non-scheduled HV and the scheduled RV. In the scheduled RV unit, three subcategories have been identified: a) RV for individuals or families with risk/vulnerability evidenced a curative model; b) RV with a family bond, allowing a broad reflection of the process of being born and dying in the community; c) RV care as work process and strengthening of care production. Difficulties and limitations such as overloading of tasks, disorganization of these professionals with excessive internal activities and incomplete teams, unprepared management, professional devaluation, the difficulty of understanding and non-adherence of users to care, difficult access to the home and physical and moral violence were identified.

In view of the fast increase in the number of people affected by chronic no communicable diseases in Brazil and in the world, the provision of health promotion and disease prevention actions in health facilities in Primary Care becomes a convenient option for the population in order to promote healthier aging throughout life. Thus, participation in these actions can have a positive economic impact for users and for the public health system. In this context, the objective of this study was to analyze the association between the participation in preventive actions offered in Primary Care and the use of Tertiary Care health services. It was a quantitative, longitudinal and retrospective study, which identified preventive actions in all the health units of the municipality and analyzed the medical records and hospital records of the participants of the actions, in order to verify how they used the network tertiary level, compared to those who did not participate, with a sample of 496 people. Number of visits, number of diseases, number of hospitalizations and number of medications were analyzed. Descriptive and intergroup analysis were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) statistical package, with the Chi-square test for the categorical data and the Mann Whitney test for comparison between the groups. The mean age of the participant group was 60.6 years (SD ± 13.1) and the non-participant group was 60.4 years (SD ± 13.0). Of the 28 units analyzed, 71% had health promotion actions, divided into two categories: a) supervised body/manuals activities (40,6%); and b) oriented health education activities (59,4%). Of the 894 hospital visits analyzed, except for the number of exams, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups for the number of visits, urgency appointments, medications, hospitalizations, days of hospitalization and outpatient visits. It was concluded that there was no relation between participation in actions to promote health and use of hospital services.

Considering the preoccupations with the advances and limits of the RAPS, which subsidizes strategies for a territorialized intervention and based on the offer of a continuous care to the subject in psychological distress, the present research proposes to map and describe the operation of the equipment that compose the RAPS in the municipality of Araraquara-SP. It aims to describe and understand the care of people in psychiatric crisis in the RAPS, in order to investigate the different strategies of care of the services that comprise it, considering the conceptions and experiences of coordinators, managers and health professionals. It is an empirical research, with a qualitative-interpretative approach, having as field the RAPS of Araraquara -SP and as corpus of analysis the experiences of managers and health professionals. It was carried out a survey and characterization of the health equipment regarding the structure, work model and clinic offered, besides the different care strategies in crisis situation. The instruments constructed and used by the research were a semi-structured interview script, applied to 19 professionals / managers of RAPS services, and another script with RAPS user. The data were recorded and transcribed literally, and the analysis was based on the Thematic Content Analysis technique (MINAYO, 2014; BARDIN, 1979). The results were systematized in two large groups: I) described: characterization of the participants, description of the participating teams, performance of the participating teams, and training strategy; II) analytic: cores of sense distributed in thematic categories. The descriptive data indicate that the great majority of the participants are women, between 31 and 37 years old, are of the following careers, in descending order: nursing, psychology, occupational therapy, physical education and pharmacy. Many professionals (11) accumulate management function with care work. The equipment represented by the interviews was distributed as follows: Basic Care (9), CAPS (4), Urgency and Emergency (2), hospital care (2). The analytical data resulted in the following thematic categories: I dilemmas and barriers in relation to mental health care, II articulation between the health services that make up the RAPS, IIIexperience with RAPS users.The health equipment faces several dilemmas and obstacles that hamper the actions of care prevented the strengthening and the networking, being the lack of communication one of the most compromising factors. The articulation between health equipment and management is fragile and it is necessary that there be public investments in management strategies such as integrated planning, institution of flows, protocols and service agreement. The experience with a user of the RAPS equipment reveals that the subject is waiting for a long period of consultation with psychiatrists that results in hospitalization, demonstrating the fragmentation of care.

Over the centuries, chemical reactions have been carried out in the same way in standardized glassware. On the other hand, continuous flow reactions are gaining interest regularly and demand for the related hardware toolkit is also increasing every day. In this scenario, the current work describes assembly of different continuous flow reaction systems that enable: I. Synthesis of trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles using molecular sieve as a solid catalyst; II. Organocatalytic applications of multicomponent reaction-derived prolyl pseudo-peptide catalysts supported on the renewable polymer applied to asymmetric Michael addition; III. Photochemical process for the synthesis of indoles and indolines. Moreover, an instrumental setup configuration was created that combines the advantages of chromatography and online analysis of the reactional parameters.

INTRODUCTION: Family caregivers of people with chronic diseases often experience life changes, which may impact on their ability to provide care. In this context, knowing the skills of the caregivers is relevant, aiming to help it through assistance actions and improving the quality of care provided, besides their quality of life. In 2008, the researcher Lucy Barrera Ortiz created and validated the first version of the instrument “Habilidad de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica” and in 2014 the author made available the second version of the instrument, after testing the psychometric properties of it and named it “Escala para medir la habilidad de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica”. The author authorized us to do the process of translation, adaptation and validation of the scale in Brazil. The process began in 2016 and the stages of cultural adaptation and validation of the scale were developed in this master's research from 2017. OBJECTIVE: To adapt and validate the “Escala para medir la habilidad de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica” to the Brazilian context". METHODS: This is a methodological study that followed the steps recommended by Beaton et al. (2000). The process happened with the stages of translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, reviewed by a committee of experts and pre-testing. After its cultural adaptation, the Brazilian version was titled “Escala para medir a habilidade de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de pessoas com doença crônica” (Escala HCCF-DC) and then were analyzed the psychometric properties of reliability (internal consistency) and validity (convergent and discriminant) of the same. All ethical precepts have been respected (Opinion No. 1,435,698). In the present research, three articles derived from the study will be presented, which specifically aimed to: 1. Identify in the literature instruments that measure the care ability of the family caregiver of people with chronic disease; 2. To translate and culturally adapt the “Escala para medir a habilidade de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de pessoas com doença crônica” for the Brazilian context; 3. Evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Brazilian version of the HCCF-DC Scale. RESULTS: In the systematic review of the literature, we found three instruments to measure family caregiver care ability: Caring Ability Inventory, Habilidad de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica and Home Health Care Competence Instrument "GCPC-UN-CPC. In the process of cultural adaptation of the “Escala para la medir a habilidad de cuidado de cuidadores familiares de personas con enfermedad crónica”, all items of the scale were reviewed by a committee composed of seven specialists, in which the content validity index (IVC) ) of 1.00 in 41 items, IVC = 0.86 in three items and IVC = 0.71 in four items. After the adequacy of the seven items, the pre-test was applied to 14 family caregivers of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), adjusting the verb tense of the items to the present indicative, to facilitate the understanding of the items by the population target, reaching the final version of the HCCF-DC Scale. This version was tested for its internal consistency and construct validity. It was observed good reliability of the domains and total of the scale, with Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0,70. In addition, the scale presented discriminative capacity of caregivers' care ability according to the quality of life (worse and better) and the presence of anxious and depressive symptoms. In addition, we hypothesized the relationship between the scale measure with domains of another instrument to measure care ability (Caregivers' Skill Inventory) and overload and dependence for instrumental activities of the family's daily life, thus indicating validity of the convergent and discriminant construct of the HCCF-DC Scale when applied to 107 family caregivers of people with CKD on hemodialysis. CONCLUSION: The HCCF-DC Scale demonstrated reliability and validity of a convergent and discriminant construct when applied to family caregivers of people with CKD. Further research is recommended to verify the psychometric performance of the scale in Brazil, as well as other instruments of measurement of the ability of care found in the literature review, thus consolidating their reliability and validity. In addition, there is a need to broaden the knowledge about the caregiver's ability to care in Brazil and in the world, as well as related aspects.

Infrared thermography is a noninvasive diagnostic imaging method that does not require animal restraint. This tool provides instant images, in real time, even at great distances, being very advantageous for wild animals. The thermograph, which measures the frequency of infrared rays, locates hot or cold regions in the body tissues, detecting physiological or pathological processes that modify body temperature. Compared with other imaging modalities, it does not require anesthesia, and does not expose the patient to radiation. In the veterinary diagnosis of wild animals, thermal imaging is used to determine causes of lameness, lesions and inflammation; in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, reproductive period and gestation; and to assess animal welfare and stress levels. This research aimed to use infrared thermography as a tool for remote diagnosis in wild canids and felids kept ex-situ. The research was developed at the Municipal Zoo "Quinzinho de Barros" in Sorocaba, state of São Paulo. During one year the images were recorded biweekly in 45 individuals, 18 of the Canidae Family and 27 of the Felidae Family. The device used to capture the images was the FLIR T460 thermograph. During the study no thermal change was noticed in the images taken biweekly. Twelve animals presented symptoms at different times, and images were taken immediately and then recorded every 3 days to follow the evolution of the clinical signs and treatment. Thermal alterations of the images were interpreted and correlated with the clinical signs. The method showed good sensitivity when applied to felids, as they present short hair, allowing a better capture of the heat emitted by the local tissues. In the canids there was good sensitivity for head and limb disorders, because these regions have shorter hair. It is concluded that thermography is a good diagnostic tool for canids and felids, assisting in diagnosis or guiding the veterinarian in their conduct; being an examination carried out at a distance, without stress, non-invasive and painless, prioritizing animal welfare.
