In times of the Internet, social media has opened up space for new forms of production and access to knowledge, to the point where the search for audiovisual literary reviews has become a shortcut to formation through synthesis, summaries and short introductions. From the update of some critical categories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno, the present study aims to investigate aspects of the content and form of an audiovisual literary review in the context of the Cultural Industry of Cyberculture, available on YouTube about the book “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell. The objective was derived the following guiding question for empirical social research: in what sense is it possible to affirm that the audiovisual review of an intellectual content is committed to the process of cultural industry schematism? Through Adorno’s content analysis methodology, the examination focused on the presence of manifest and implied clichés in the reviews and in the comments of users that tend to hypostasize a certain way of conceiving the world – divided between “us” and “them”, the sentences harbor the authoritarian “it’s like this” and “the other” (outsider), respectively under the expressions “easy reading text” and “socialist of rare lucidity”. As paralyzers of any discussion, stereotyped words pasteurize the critical content immanent to intellectual production. Consumed as a kind of didactic material, the audiovisual literary review produced by the youtuber does not seem to have presented a strict commitment to the theme, since there was no clarification and no confrontation to mistaken comments from users and to conceptual misunderstandings about the work and life of Orwell.

The bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (XAC) is the cause of citrus canker, a disease that affects many species of citric plants, causing drop in productivity and losses to producers. Many proteins have been detected by proteomic analysis and related to the invasion and dissemination of the bacterium in the citrus host. In the present work, biochemical techniques were applied for the obtaining and partial functional characterization of two XAC genes: XAC1006 (malate dehydrogenase - MDH) and XAC0223 (conserved hypothetical protein), both detected in previous proteomics studies performed at the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Applied Molecular Biology (LBBMA)/UFSCar as potentially involved in XAC´s pathogenicity. The conserved hypothetical protein (XAC0223) does not have a described function in literature for XAC, but its gene sequence analysis by bioinformatics tools shows similarities with membrane proteins and outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of known function in other species. It was possible to characterize it partially by pathogenicity test with a deletion mutant of this ORF, previously obtained, which apparently presented greater virulence than the wild XAC, which may corroborate the hypothesis that it may be a protein detected by the host plant which can trigger their defense responses. MDH was described as a signature protein in XAC cells surface under in vivo infectious conditions, which has also been described for other pathogenic organisms, as a determinant protein in their infectious processes. In this work, a recombinant MDH was obtained in the native form with confirmed enzymatic activity, and anti-MDH antibodies were also produced and used in Western blot, providing more evidence of its possible presence on XAC´s surface under infectious conditions. It is hoped, through the obtained results, to contribute to the knowledge of the pathogenicity mechanisms of Xanthomonas sp., confirming potential targets of biotechnological interest against the disease and helping in its future combat.

The frailty syndrome is highlighted both the aging process, since it has adverse outcomes such as death, hospitalization, institutionalization, falls and functional dependence. In this syndrome there would be a greater reduction of the physiological reserves and difficulty in maintaining the homeostasis due to a reduction of the physiological complexity. Since fall is an important outcome in this syndrome, it would be interesting to evaluate the postural control through measures of complexity and in challenging conditions, not only at rest. Thus, the Study I, titled "Impact of different demands on the postural control of prefrail older adults", aimed to compare the complexity of center of pressure (CoP) displacements of prefrail older adults in response to different stimuli: visual deprivation, cognitive demand and postural change. The results showed that the complexity of CoP displacement remained the same after the postural transition in the anteroposterior (AP) direction, as well as in tasks with closed eyes and with cognitive demand in the mediolateral (ML) direction. It is suggested that these activities could be added into rehabilitation programs for this population. As transitions between frailty stages are spontaneous, measures that may reduce the progression of frailty, such as exercise, should be taken into account. Thus, the Study II entitled "Effect of multicomponent training in postural oscillation complexity in prefrail older adults" aimed to investigate the effect of a multicomponent intervention (aerobic, balance, resistance and flexibility exercises) on the complexity and traditional measures of CoP displacements in the AP and ML directions with the eyes open and closed. The data showed that multicomponent training improved the integration of systems that control the prefrail balance, especially in challenging conditions, such as with closed eyes.

The use and management of the soils have caused physical-water changes of them. The evaluation of these modifications is necessary for the dimensioning of the physical quality of the soils, in order to characterize and understand the dynamics of the changes in the environment. In this sense, this study has the goal of characterize and evaluate the influence of different systems of use and management of the soil. The study was conducted at the São João site, located in the city of Salto de Pirapora, SP, Brazil, where the mechanical resistance to penetration, hydraulic conductivity and soil infiltration were evaluated over a year in three management systems: (1) Agroforestry System (SAF); (2) lytic planting (LIC) and (3) area in transition for banana plantation (PAS). In each treatment, the soil cover was also measured using a 0.24m² quadrant, as well as undisturbed soil samples in the 0-10 cm layers to determine their density and humidity. Rainfall data were recorded monthly to correlate with the physical-water attributes of each treatment. The systems with the highest and most frequent management (SAF and PAS) presented better results in relation to soil quality than the system with lower management (LIC), except for the parameters humidity and soil cover where the LIC presented better conditions. The physical characteristics of SAF and PAS were similar to each other and different from the LIC area. The physical characteristics of SAF and PAS were similar to each other and different from the LIC area. Thus, it can be concluded that DS, K, VI, RMSP in SAF and PAS soils showed a better quality in relation to LIC.

Myrtaceae in Brazil includes approximately 1030 species, circumscribed in 23 genera, which characterizes it as the 8th family in number of species in the Brazilian flora. It has great ecological importance and is present in several phytogeographical domains, especially in the Atlantic Forest. The Legado das Águas - Reserva Votorantim is located in the municipalities of Tapiraí, Miracatu and Juquiá, next to large areas of environmental conservation, such as the Carlos Botelho State Park, forming a valuable ecological corridor in the Serra de Paranapiacaba. They are regions where the predominant vegetation is Ombrophylous Dense Forest, regions with high biodiversity in the state. The aim of this work is the taxonomic survey of Myrtaceae species occuring in the Legado das Águas - Reserva Votorantim. For that purpose, we carried out collection expeditions in the area as well as visits to the herbaria with expressive collections of plants collected in the area. The 39 species sampled in the area are presented through photographic records, descriptions and identification key, with Myrcia and Eugenia being the most expressive genera, with the highest number of species (17 and 14, respectively). The other genera sampled in the area were: Campomanesia (three species), Myrceugenia (two species) and Plinia (three species). The Myrtaceae species occurring in the Legado das Águas - Reserva Votorantim correspond to about 14% of the species of this family in the Atlantic Forest for the state of São Paulo.

Despite advances in the last thirty years, the Brazilian public health system still faces impasses for its consolidation as a social policy to foster citizenship and the challenge of breaking with the traditional care model in the daily services. With the perspective of structuring new forms of care management, organization of supply and guarantee of continuity, the "ICSAP Project - hospitalizations for conditions sensitive to primary care" in the city of Campinas-SP was designed and implemented in 2012, which seeks to articulate and negotiate actions between the services of a specific territory, especially the basic health units and the hospital, in order to qualify and guarantee the access and continuity of the care of its users. Taking this initiative as an object, this research aims to analyze the perceptions of these users regarding their appropriation of public health policy, in particular the understanding, repercussions and participation in the processes of organization, operationalization and evaluation of the health system and services in which they are inserted. This is a qualitative study with a documentary survey and data collection through interviews with users, the results being systematized according to content analysis and discussed in the light of critical hermeneutics and the "Paidéia" reference. The findings demonstrate that users recognize the Unified Health System as a public policy, aiming to know their logic of operation and the benefits offered by their services when they need health care; in an analogous way, recognize and perceive the effects of the "ICSAP Project", especially for the institution of new practices in the care after hospital hospitalization episode in the basic units; however, it is evidenced that these users were not included in the institutional spaces of social participation for discussion, organization and evaluation of this initiative, as well as the health system in general, demonstrating that there are still challenges to their effective appropriations by society. From this scenario, it is hoped to contribute to the reflection in the different instances of this system, especially in Campinas, and in society in general, about the necessary expansion of the inclusion of users in the deliberative processes of both the "ICSAP Project" and in the organization of the health system.

In recent years, research results on Environmental Sciences have grown in complexity and proportion, and this has required from the scientists the capacity to synthesize information from different sources to support holistic analyzes and generate new knowledge. Bibliometric analysis appears in this context as an analytical tool with high potential to support the systematic synthesis of information and the analysis of the outptus of science. In this thesis, we seek to evaluate how bibliometric tools and methods can contribute to the generation of new knowledge and analysis of science, presenting five articles developed from topics of Environmental Sciences and its subfields. Specifically, in Chapter 1 we explored different forms of network analysis and introduced an unprecedented methodology of keyword analysis to detect research gaps in the area of Restoration Ecology. This same methodology was used in Chapter 2, where we investigated the research on the enzymes immobilization. We introduced spatial analysis resources to complement the discussion of network analysis and analyzed the dynamics of bibliometric indicators in different periods (27, 10 and 5 years). In Chapter 3, we emphasized country-stratified research, and through the co-occurrence criterion of keywords we present the main research topics on electronic waste management. In Chapter 4, two distinct focuses of study were presented: an applied research related to the restoration of ecosystems; and a practical and theoretical approach related to qualitative chemistry, intermediated by the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique and by bibliometrics, respectively. In this chapter, we present a new perspective on the use of bibliometric indicators to support research. Finally, in chapter 5 we had the opportunity to work with the smallest database among the studies of this thesis, which generated several insights on the performance of the bibliometric indicators in "narrow" bases; which was analyzed under Ostrom's precepts on common forest management. From the perspective of bibliometrics scholars related to the non-LIS community (Library and Informations Science), we had as general objective: to discuss and synthesize information on the use of bibliometric indicators in the research of Environmental Science topics. The results indicate, for a great diversity of subjects, that the application of bibliometric tools is an effective way of revealing the current state of the research and its directions, which can favor the development of new studies and scientific production in Environmental Sciences.

This work is a reflection on the corporate and sonorous productions of students that appear in audiovisual devices during a semester in a discipline called Audiovisual Food Workshops. Reports on the formation of the body as practical, historical, cultural and social in distinct contexts are developed by space and time. We adopted the bibliographic research The chance to perceive different forms of production of the body. Historiographical research grounded the production of audiovisual images, conducting student workshops, allowing them to produce points of view and approaches, so that they could construct a creative and fabulous relationship with their daily lives. And from this perspective, audiovisual devices can respond to sensitive experience and act in a way that liberates discourses, understandings and possibilities of the world. After the realization and interpretation of the material produced in the Workshops, we were able to observe the use of audiovisual materials in school to help transform the processes in their teaching and development contexts about their forms of expression and feel the world.

Search engines are facing performance challenges because of the large number of documents and the increase of query loads in the Web environment. The success of a search engine is related to the ability of the query processing system to find documents that match the needs of information expressed in user queries in a short time interval. Despite the large amount of documents, users are more interested in fewer results in a query. This causes few documents to be highly relevant in most queries. DAAT dynamic pruning algorithms have been exploring the efficiency of query processing systems, avoiding wasting time sorting documents that are not likely to be relevant. To handle the scale and dynamics of user query traffic, query processing needs to make efficient use of hardware resources. The main objective of this doctoral thesis is to investigate the use of parallel computing in the process of identifying the most relevant documents to a given query in the GPU architecture. For this, strategies of parallelization of algorithms that aim to reduce the latency of response of a given query and to increase the flow of queries are proposed and evaluated in the GPU. The parallelization proposals are well suited to the category of DAAT algorithms and dynamic pruning algorithms. In the DAAT category, partitioning strategies are offered in a way that performs an investigation into the location of occurrences of the same document in the memory hierarchy of the GPU. At the level of dynamic pruning algorithms, threshold propagation policies among processors are proposed and the impacts generated on the efficiency of the parallel algorithms are analyzed. To verify efficiency in practice, the parallel proposals were implemented and tested in the Pascal GPU architecture and obtained a performance of 4x to 40x relative to the fundamental algorithms.

Accreditation is a method of evaluation and certification, establishing standards and requirements to promote the quality and safety of care in health institutions. In Brazil, the National Accreditation Organization (ONA) is the responsible for the main accreditation methodology and uses as an evaluation tool the Brazilian Accreditation Manual. This process is voluntary and the main objective is to encourage health services to search, in an organized and systematic way, continuous improvement of its structure, processes and results. This study aimed to analyze the compliance of the procedures related to the subsection "Access management" of the above mentioned manual in relation to ONA’s level 1 accreditation requirements. It is a qualitative research, of descriptive nature of the exploratory type. For this work development, 4 stages have been settled and covered. In step 1 "detailing requirements", a semi-structured questionnaire with 259 items was prepared. In stage 2, "identification of the current situation" visits took place in the areas that have relation with the processes related to Access Management. In step 3, "compliance analysis", the responses for each item verified during the visits in the areas were analyzed, 38.6% (100 questions) of actions taken fulfilled the requirements and 61.4% (159 questions) of taken actions were non-conformities. Finally, in stage 4 "identification and prioritization of systemic nonconformities", a cross-sectional analysis of the most critical nonconformities (NC) in the organization has been performed. A matrix system base regarding Severity, Urgency and Tendency (GUT) has been created to stress the NCs occurrences and for matching the NCs in more than one area. The latter was regarded as systemic NCs. Furthermore, a score table was generated according to the increasing levels in severity from 1 to 5. 124 out of 159 NC items, were NC systemic and they corresponded to 78%, and 35 items were particular NC and corresponded to 22% of the questions. The results found in this research demonstrate that in an evaluation process, the hospital in this study would be deemed as not accredited due having not reached the percentage equal or higher to 70% of conformities, according to ONA’s 2018 manual. The research has made possible a diagnosis of the necessary actions for improvement of work processes related to Access Management, as well as a priority system for the problems in the matrix of severity, urgency and tendency with a ranking to guide the execution of actions. The collecting data instrument, which was elaborated following the details of the subsection requirements, can be used as a tool not only for the institution but also for other organizations that seek to learn the items to be verified in access management. It may also benefit evaluators under ongoing evaluation visits, once the developed instrument takes in account more accurate detail of ONA standard requirement. Finally, the present study has demonstrated the accreditation evaluation process as a helping device for hospitals management in the effort to improve health service practices by standardizing processes and improvement of healthcare programs.

Objective: to test whether telephone monitoring adds to short-term alcohol and tobacco intervention among pregnant women. Method: This is a randomized, open, two-arm clinical trial. Data were collected at the Basic Health Units of São Carlos / SP and at the Reference Center for Women's Health in Ibaté / SP, from December 2017 to April 2018. All the pregnant women who sought these services were recruited, aged 18 or over and gestational age 12 to 30 weeks. The study was conducted in three phases: screening stage of alcohol and tobacco use; randomized clinical trial and post-test. For randomization, the participants were allocated to two groups: "Control Group" (received a brief intervention without monitoring); "Experimental Group" (received an intervention and two monitoring phone calls, for two weeks). In the post-test, the same variables measured in the pre-test were re-evaluated. The intervention was performed at the participants' home. For alcohol, an already validated protocol was used for brief interventions among pregnant women and, for tobacco, a strategy known as "5Rs strategy". The instruments used were: sociodemographic and obstetric questionnaire; Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C); Tolerance, Annoyed, Cut Down, Eye opener (T-ACE); Involvement screening test with alcohol, cigarette and other substances (ASSIST); and Fagerström Test. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 22.0, Epiinfo version 7.2 (for descriptive statistics), Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (to verify data distribution) and Wilcoxon's test (for comparison) were used to analyze the data. of averages before and after interventions). Results: 112 pregnant women, with a gestational age of 18 weeks, participated in the study. The mean age was 27.4 years. In the screening performed to verify alcohol consumption during gestation, 31 (27.6%) were positively tracked and included in the study. In relation to tobacco use, 13 (11.6%) were identified as smokers. The hypothesis of the study was confirmed only for alcohol use, because although there was a reduction in the consumption of the two groups observed, there was a significant difference (p-value <0.05) in the mean of the AUDIT-C and T-ACE in relation to pre and post-test (in which all the pregnant women in the experimental group remained abstinent during the period of the experiment). In relation to tobacco use, monitoring was not able to promote significant changes (p-value> 0.05) in the smoking behavior of pregnant women. However, there was a reduction in the mean of the ASSIST scores in both groups and in the Fagerström Test score only in the experimental group. Conclusion: it was evident that the monitoring of interventions, even by telephone, demonstrated the potential to cease and / or reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy. For tobacco, there is a need for other intervention actions, in addition to monitoring. Health professionals, besides being able to intervene on the use of alcohol and tobacco among pregnant women, need to be able to monitor their intervention and to know possible ways to do so.

Fe-Cr-Ni-B system alloys with partially amorphous structures can ensure a very attractive combination of mechanical and electrochemical properties, far superior to conventional materials. It can be used, for example, in the form of metallic coatings in parts or equipment, in which, wear mechanisms coupled with the high aggressiveness of the media are present, as is the case in the petrochemical sectors. The success of the elaboration and projection of an alloy that can provide specific characteristics and properties depends on the degree of knowledge and familiarity with the peculiarities of each composition of the system, from the formation of possible phases and structures to the consequences and limitations of the microstructure in its specific use. In this way, the present work aims to perform a mapping of the characteristics, trends and behavior of the Fe-Cr-Ni-B system alloys. Based on thermodynamic simulations, a series of alloys was elaborated, covering a large range of compositions of potential interest, in order to register patterns and trends of formation of crystals and structures, correlating them with the final properties of the alloy. The alloys were produced in the form of ribbons in melt-spinning equipment. Vacuum heat treatments were used for partial and total crystallization of amorphous alloys, as well as for the evaluation of structural alterations of crystalline phases. The study methods used were: Thermodynamic simulation in Thermo-Calc® software, using the TCFe7 database, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy and automatic phase mapping (MET/ ASTAR) and electrochemical tests to obtain the polarization curves in high salt concentration media. At the end of the work a series of peculiarities of the Fe-Cr-Ni-B system could be registered, helping in a valuable way the understanding of the system. Revealing that, excellent corrosion resistance properties can be obtained by partially amorphous alloys containing both the superduplex stainless structure and boride particles.

Regarding the context of innovation economy, international knowledge transfer can be a real viability for the generation of wealth, playing a significant role in economic and social development of several countries. Establishing university-company contracts comes with it a series of challenges which need to be overcome in order to allow knowledge to flow with less friction between the parties. If such contracting is already complex when both organizations have the same nationality, international transactions have even greater issues. On the other hand, it is an important activity for the institutional development and can provide economic growth to its country. Therefore, the purpose of this study was the transactional costs for the establishment of international university-company contracts, aiming at transferring knowledge from academia to companies. In this study, the dimensions of international technology transfer subject to contractual contingencies were identified and, considering the Transaction Costs Theory, one sought to qualitatively assess which are the most relevant issues for contracting. Using the methodology of Qualitative Comparative Analysis, it was possible to infer which of the transactional elements identified have a correlation with the establishment of international university-company partnerships. Identification of relevant transactional elements was carried out initially through the literature, and later an interview was conducted with a multinational Brazilian company’s innovation manager who carries out international contracting with foreign universities. Subsequently, an electronic survey was drafted and submitted to more than 300 foreign universities. The answers to the survey provided relevant information: it was identified that, related to universities, internationalization and scientific influence (translated in the number of citations) are characteristics that most encourage the establishment of international partnerships with companies. The environment for technology transfer is affected by uncertainties introduced primarily by regulatory and dispute resolution issues; it was identified that the legal system in which the university is immersed does not increase transaction frictions. Furthermore, Intellectual Property Rights are extremely relevant for effective transfer, and preferred contracting modalities involve licensing of these rights, precisely by minimizing information asymmetries between parties. Finally, this work proved to be relevant by bringing to light in a consistent manner the difficulties of contracting – using a powerful but still unknown methodological tool – and what are some suggestions for minimizing these transactional costs.

This research deals with the complexities involving the cases of death by bàtòtàka, a spell of "tying the throat" among the Karajá. The objective is, based on the ethnographic analysis of suicide cases in several indigenous contexts, to approach the specificities surrounding the understanding of these phenomena, in order to produce a discussion about the different meanings, based on the particularities of each context in the light of the cases of the inỹ autocides, Karajá’s self-denomination. Thus, this dissertation is constructed using as a literary and discursive resource the story "The Third Margin of the River" by Guimarães Rosa, and the ethnographic accounts of those who stand before the margin and have to deal with the economy of the various cosmos and inỹ beings, In this context, classical themes to Brazilian indigenous ethnology are addressed, such as: the notion of the person, corporeality, as well as the funerals, destinies reserved for the dead and ritual interruptions in the face of these fatalities, which, in Karajá’s context, give to the dead a destiny seen as awkward. In this way, I developed my work in the Ibutuna village, which is located along the Araguaia River, in the northwest portion of Bananal Island, on the border between Mato Grosso and Tocantins states.

This research aimed at presenting a teaching-learning process for a 6th grade group from Elementary School involved with the teaching of rational numbers, especially fractions. The approach of this school content involved the connection with the music, constituting an unconventional educational strategy. Based on the theoretical-methodological contributions of Raymond Duval, the development of this research was guided by the following research question: how does the insertion of music into the teaching-learning process of rational numbers contribute to the mobilization of the registers of semiotic representation? In order to support the methodological option of a descriptive and interpretive qualitative research, we present historical aspects and elements of musical theory in the course of the writing of the research report, as subsidies to explore the didactic-pedagogical potentiality of the mathematical and music connection in the study of the school content already mentioned. In the context of the public school of the State of São Paulo, in which the Teacher's Notebook is a material to support the development of skills and abilities prescribed in the official curricular document, it was prepared by the teacher-researcher the teaching-learning proposal systematized in six tasks described and analyzed from the written productions and interlocutions occurred to his students during the mathematics classes. We present to the reader the experience provided by this connection between different areas of knowledge, its contributions and suggestions to teachers interested in this educational possibility for the study of rational numbers.The usage of music in this teaching proposal permitted a more efficient and comprehensive learning with the coordination and use of different semiotic registers concerning the rational number occurring in a natural and meaningful way.

In order to answer this question, this study aimed to observe and analyze the use of board game in the process of appropriation of skills related to reading and writing of children in situations of social vulnerability. The present research was carried out in a Civil Society Organization, in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Fourteen girls, seven to ten years of age, who attended this organization participated in the study. The present qualitative research, characterized as participant research, used the procedures of observation, interview and pedagogical evaluation. It counted on three stages: 1. Initial sounding; 2. Intervention with board games; 3. Finalization. The results showed a gain in skills in the process of acquisition of reading and writing, since the application of the evaluations showed that all the girls advanced in the appropriation of writing abilities possibly by influence of the game. Therefore, it is possible to indicate that the board game can be considered as a facilitator in the process of appropriation of the abilities related to the reading and writing of children in situation of social vulnerability. It is also worth noting the importance of new studies that offer different mechanisms of teaching reading and writing skills, focusing on the potential and knowledge of the learner, so that, in fact, he becomes active in the teaching and learning process.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized by a computational environment that can be divided into three main layers: sensor network, communication and intelligence, the latter located in a fog or cloud environment forming an IoT environment. The first layer can be composed of a wide variety of objects, usually called terminals, with various computational capacities, architectural features, a variety of sensors, actuators and different communication interfaces and standards for interconnection. The second layer can make use of many different wireless communications technologies, including Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Bluetooth or emerging 6LoWPAN communication technologies such as Lora, and transport protocols that incorporate strategies like publish / subscribe to send messages containing sensor data / endpoints for the intelligence layer. The results can be used for monitoring, problem inference, business-level decision making, as well as sensor-level action by sending an actuation message to a terminal. As the IoT sensor network grows, a huge amount of data from various sources flows from the sensor layer to the intelligence layer in the IoT environment. The problem is that to make informed decisions about these data, it needs to be concrete and accurate. Data fusion is an effective way to improve data quality. However, IoT environments are still evolving and the best way or place where data fusion should happen is an open problem. This project presents an architecture for merging IoT sensor data by implementing data fusion with microservices using a container platform embedded in an IoT opensource middleware based on a fog infrastructure that is capable of automatically scaling according to the layer data flow sensor grows. Several data fusion performance tests were performed for different amounts of sensor points and readings on ZigBee and LoRa technologies using the Chauvenet data fusion algorithm in an agricultural environment which can be applied to the concepts of precision agriculture.

The object of this research was born from my experiences in the Supervised Internship in Early Childhood Education held in 2013 at a municipal school in the city of Votorantim / SP, which motivated the desire to investigate the possible consequences of relationships permeated by various types of violence that can occur inside the school. The research aimed to understand how the power relations between teacher and child are built in the school environment, as well as to investigate the marks left in the life of the child who experiences oppression and restrictions on his way of being a child. The research is qualitative and bibliographic. The main authors that support the work are: Michel Foucault (1987), Cláudia Rennó (2009), Adriana Rasera (2010) e Jucilaine Zucco (2008). They cover the subjects of discipline, body, authority and power, helping to understand the dynamics of these concepts when they are present at school. The work is divided into four chapters. The first chapter presents the construction of my Memorial, in which I reflect on my personal history in which it may have relations with the research, making a journey until I reach the course of Pedagogy. The second chapter presents the theoretical framework. The third chapter reports the methodology and the fourth presents the analysis of the data that were collected in the field, during the internship. The results reveal that the relations of power and authority within the school are influenced by values coming from a society marked by discipline and the need to adapt to a longing for production and work processes.

Operations management can play a decisive role in the development of competitive positions for companies. Many works refer to operations management as the area responsible for reducing companies’ environmental impact through, for example, materials reuse, increasing energy efficiency, reducing waste generation, waste disposal etc. However, the literature highlights the lack of alignment between environmental issues and operations strategies. In Brazil, the National Solid Waste Policy, instituted by Law nº 12305/2010 and regulated by Decree nº 7404/2010 imposes the principle of shared responsibility for the product life cycle and the reverse logistics system as a socioeconomical instrument. According to this regulation, manufacturers, importers, distributors, and traders of electronic products and their components are required to structure and implement reverse logistics systems. This fact promotes the organization of new markets, leads to the need for an adequate e-waste management and a better understanding of the practices adopted by companies that recycle e-waste. In research conducted in Web of Science and Scopus databases until August 2018 no articles that analyzed the operations strategies in e-waste recyclers were found, confirming the opportunity to develop the theory of operations strategy in this sector. Due to the necessity to find solutions to e-waste management in the Brazilian municipalities and that these solutions could be more easily and effectively implemented if integrated into operations strategies, in this thesis we aim to identify and analyze the operations strategies of companies that recycle e-waste and investigate how these strategies incorporate environmental sustainability actions. We adopted a qualitative approach, based on the conduction of five case studies. Even with different business models adopted, the results point out that environment is considered a key competitive priority for the companies analyzed, although quality stands out among the competitive priorities adopted. It was also verified that the adoption of environment as a competitive priority also affected the decision areas, especially the infrastructural one. In addition, it was verified that environmental issue is considered strategic and acts as a facilitator for the adoption of environmental practices. All companies researched adopt pollution prevention programs and waste reduction. However, it should also be noted the implementation of the following environmental practices: reduction of energy consumption, ISO 14001, corporate social responsibility and environmental planning and control, which were adopted by 4 of 5 companies investigated. From the theoretical point of view, the study points out that environment must be incorporated as a competitive priority, confirming the expansion of the traditional competitive priorities.

The objective of this work is to map the process of consolidation of digital technology into a cultural phenomenon. Using the Actor-Network Theory, the text seeks to understand the path traveled by humanity to the digital culture and how the profound changes brought by this new way of being and acting in the world interfere in its own characterization as human and in its society. Two points of support are drawn in the work: the first is the concept of culture, foundation, and mark of the human species; the second is the question of generations, an intricate concept that unites the biological cycle of life and social unfolding imposed by the same natural cycle, responsible for continuous human ingenuity, for overcoming paradigms, for the constant substitution of centers of political, economic, religious authority and moral. Starting from these two points of reference and observing the communicational processes as key to the process, the research seeks to establish the paths traveled by humanity and its technological artifacts until the consolidation of the digital culture.
