La presente investigación se centró en la temática de las relaciones de trabajo establecidas entre jóvenes adultos, con franja de edad entre 25 y 29 años, en el campo artístico cultural. Partió de la discusión acerca de las formas precarizadas de trabajo en la sociedad contemporánea por medio del modo social de producción capitalista y racionalidad neoliberal, específicamente en el campo artístico cultural; de la constitución y ejecución de las políticas públicas culturales brasileñas; y de la juventud brasileña, como importante categoría social. Considerando la importancia de las reflexiones sobre esta temática y de ir al encuentro de la construcción de conocimiento de forma crítico, se llegó la cuestión de investigación: ¿cómo se dan las relaciones de trabajo en el campo artístico cultural para jóvenes adultos trabajadores? El objetivo de la investigación fue comprender las posibilidades y los desafíos de los procesos de profesionalización y generación de ingresos de jóvenes adultos en actividades artísticas culturales y en qué medida sus actividades humanas son moldeadas e influenciadas por el modo social de producción capitalista neoliberal. La metodología es de carácter cualitativo y se delinea en una perspectiva de análisis de discurso narrativo. Para ello, adoptó criterios de selección e inclusión para investigación, realizó llamamiento para la participación a través de los cuestionarios, por las redes sociales y posteriormente se realizó las entrevistas; para tanto, se definió y se construyó instrumentos específicos para la recolección y sistematización de los datos: elaboración de formulario online y guión para entrevistas narrativas. Así como, realizó la tabulación de los datos; transcripción de las entrevistas; elaboración de temáticas; análisis y discusión teórica de acuerdo con la perspectiva crítica en composición con la Terapia Ocupacional. Como resultados, se apunta el papel de las actividades relacionadas al trabajo en la cultura en la constitución de sus identidades y de sus cotidianos. Se abordan las representaciones, los sentidos y las expectativas del trabajo en la cultura en la interpretación de los participantes de forma situada. El trabajo precarizado en que están sometidos aparece como factor limitante para el mantenimiento de sus necesidades fundamentales, impactando de forma significativa sus actividades humanas. Las estrategias utilizadas permean la creación de redes de apoyo, formación profesional, asociaciones y ecuación de los gastos financieros cotidianos ligados a la alimentación, vivienda y movilidad urbana. Sin embargo, las limitaciones encontradas también se presentan como catalizadoras para la realización de sus trabajos, resultando en un movimiento expresivo de resistencia a la lógica capitalista neoliberal. Se espera que esta investigación pueda contribuir a la comprensión acerca del cotidiano y los modos de vida de jóvenes trabajadores/as artistas y sobre todo, de los procesos de exclusión y desigualdades perpetrados en nuestra sociedad. De la misma forma, que contribuya a la construcción del conocimiento en Terapia Ocupacional en el campo de la cultura y en el debate en relación al trabajo.

About one-third of world food production is lost or wasted annually at different stages of agri-food production chains (APC). Food losses generally occur in the early stages of an APC, while waste is understood as the discarding of food that occurs in the final stages of APCs. Food losses and waste have important economic, environmental and social impacts worldwide. Thus, studying their causes, as well as strategies that minimize them, is among the central concerns of those who work with food at all levels and forms. Food in school settings, including restaurants in higher education institutions, is among the sectors that deserve special mention, as a result of generating significant quantities of food wasted by consumers. In this context, this research aimed to verify what causes that most influence the consumers of a university restaurant to waste food and what measures that could be taken to reduce this waste. The research used in its development a unique study realized in the university dining hall of a federal university. The aim was to analyze, through a structured questionnaire, the perceptions of consumers about different variables influencing food waste. The results were statistically correlated with the leftovers on the plates or trays of each consumer. An average waste of 68g/consumer was verified, which is considered high and superior to what is acceptable in the literature. This information was used to propose policies and actions that will seek to minimize the wastes found.

The intercropping corn with green manures of the Fabaceae family has been studied as an alternative to supply nitrogen (N), via biological fixation (NBF). Increasing soil organic matter contents and nutrient cycling. However, the Fabaceae species and its density in the intercrop alters the competition patter and demanding studies to optimize the intercrop between Fabaceaes and corn. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate N availability in the soil, growth, nutritional state and grains yield of corn intercropped with different densities of Crotalaria spectabilis Roth and Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp in organic system. The study was conducted on crop year of 2017/18, at UFSCar/Araras, SP. Experimental design was of randomized blocks with four repetitions. Treatments consisted of four corn intercrops with: MC5) C. spectabilis - 5 plants.m-1; MG5 C. cajan - 5 plants.m-1; MCG10) C. spectabilis and C. cajan - 10 plants.m-1, five of each species; MCG6) C. spectabilis and C. cajan - 6 plants.m-1, tree of each species, and a lateral control treatment, M) monocultural corn, cultivated distancing six meters from the fabaceas. It was evaluated corn leaf area index (IAF), dry matter (MS) and Falker chlorophyll index (ICF), at phenological stages V4, V8 and VT; leaf micronutrients contents at VT and yield at R6. For the fabaceas, dry mass (MSF) was accessed at corn stages of V4, V8, Vt and R6 and nutrient accumulation at R6. To nitrogen accessible was analyzed by NH4- and NO3- quantification of nifH gene in the soil, at corn phenological stages of V2, V4 and VT. It was observed reduction in grains yield of corn in increases of fabaceas density in intercrops (MCG10), as the pigeon-pea (MG5), because maximized competition interspecific. On the other hand, the intercrop with C. spectabilis (MC5) increased corn dry matter. For the nutritional state the intercrops with fabaceas (MCG6, MG5 and MC5) increases corn phosphorus and potassium leaf content and, increases in fabaceas density in intercrops (MCG10) maximized in nutritional competition, decreases corn phosphorus, potassium and sulfur contents. Not observed increases in corn nitrogen leaf content in presence fabaceas. It nitrogen access in the soil, simultaneous intercropping of C. spectabilis and C. cajan with corn (MCG6) reduces soil contents of ammonium and nitrate but increases corn ICF in comparation others intercrops, indicating nitrogen absorption in the soil by corn plants. Greater fabaceas dry matter amounts increases nifH gene quantity in the soil.

The Production Strategy literature proposes that the production function should be considered as a strategic asset and as a competitive weapon. When companies do not recognize the relationship between the Production Strategy and the Competitive Strategy, they can be tied to uncompetitive production systems. Similarly, the strategic management theme came to recognize technology as an important element for the business and for the Competitive Strategy. Technology has come to be seen as one of the main capacities of the company and the new knowledge to be recognized as the basis for organizational renewal and to sustain competitive advantage. This thesis identifies the Production Strategy and Technological Strategy of automotive suppliers, and discusses the alignment between these functional strategies adopted by companies. The research presents a qualitative approach, with the application of multiple case studies, semi-structured interviews for data collection and triangulation of data for case analysis. The study demonstrates the vertical alignment between the Production Strategy and the competitive priorities and decision areas; the vertical alignment between the Technology Strategy and the technological capacities; and the horizontal alignment between the Production Strategy and the Technological Strategy, in companies A, B and C. As a contribution of this study, it highlighted the strategic alignment analysis model proposed and the understanding of how the diffusion of technological capacities (fostered by competitive priorities) impacts the decision areas in Companies, contributing to the achievement of competitive advantage through the production function.

Abstract: Since 2007, the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) has started to distribute notebooks equipped with assistive technology devices (TA), mainly Dosvox, which allows students with visual impairments (DV) to access the computer. However, this inclusive technology has not been incorporated into such students’s educational process as developed in the common classroom. Specialized literature justifies such absence with the claim that the regent teachers have not been prepared during their initial and continued training to work with students with DV and yet neither with notebooks equipped with Dosvox or with other AT devices. In view of the above, the present research has as general objective: to elaborate, apply and analyze a continuous training program aimed at training teachers to work with a computer equipped with assistive technology devices: Windows access facility or Dosvox system in the educational process of students with visual impairment, developed in the common classroom. And as specific objectives: a) Analyze the effects of a continuing training program on the educational process of participants about assistive technology devices: Windows access facility or Dosvox system. B) Analyze in which tasks of continuous training program aimed at educational process of students with visual impairment developed in the common classroom obtained the highest and lowest levels of acquisition of knowledge by the participants. For this purpose, a program evaluation study was carried out, with an AB type design, with four participants: an elementary school teacher, a high school teacher, a retired teacher and a Special Education undergraduate student. The program was composed of 18 tasks divided in six phases with 30 hours of duration with two-hour weekly classes and held in the Community Library (BCO) of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in São Carlos. The instruments used to collect data were: a) semi-structured interview with the purpose of characterizing the participants; b) a task protocol to assess the knowledge acquired by participants at two different times: 1) before the start of the program (pre-intervention) and 2) after the completion of the program (post intervention); and c) field diary to register the development of the program. Data analysis was quantitative and occurred as follows: the data obtained with the pre-intervention applied task protocol were compared with the data obtained with the post-intervention task protocol. Results indicated that the participants: Maria, Cristina and Silvia obtained an excellent level of knowledge acquisition during the execution of the program, while the participant John reached a level of regular acquisition. In addition, the female participants were able to use educational strategies structured by the accessibility produced by the above mentioned TA devices, disseminated during the training program, as well as to adapt them to develop new inclusive educational practices in coherence with the educational reality of the school where they used to teach.

The institutionalization of distance education (DE), based on the Institutional Theory, can be understood as a process based on the dynamics of interaction between the university and the educational field. His analysis then includes, on the one hand, exogenous elements related to the pressures exerted by the field for the university to offer courses at a distance. On the other hand, it involves endogenous elements related to the continuous and gradual adaptations carried out by the university to systematically insert the DE into its internal structural arrangement in order to legitimize itself socially. In Brazil, DE settled in the educational field with Law 9.394/1996, being configured as a modality with the potential to democratize the access to Higher Education. The Universidade Aberta do Brasil System (UAB), instituted in 2006, consisted of the most relevant public policy in the induction of distance courses offered by public higher education institutions that, from the moment of adhesion, initiate the necessary structural and organizational changes and changes to meet the specificities concerning the management of DE systems. Therefore, the general objective of this thesis was to analyze the institutionalization of the DE at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the specific ones were: to identify and describe the history of the institutionalization of DE in UFSCar, relating it to the educational field Brazilian; characterize the structure of academic-pedagogical and administrative management created to support the offer of courses in the distance modality, as well as the type of DE adopted by UFSCar; mapping and analyzing the factors that limit the institutionalization of DE in the university, identifying its nature; identify and analyze the most significant elements in favor of the institutionalization of DE in UFSCar and; to analyze the perspectives regarding the institutionalization of DE at UFSCar. In order to do so, a qualitative research was carried out, through the survey and study of bibliography, data collection through documental research techniques and semi-structured interviews, data analysis and dissemination of results. Among the main results, the following stand out: the beginning of the institutionalization of the DE in UFSCar is related to the adhesion to the UAB System for the offer of five undergraduate courses, which led to the creation of an DE unit that was incorporated into the structure of the university, as well as rules, procedures and regulations regarding the modality; the institutionalization of the modality in UFSCar represented the conciliation between its social function of democratizing access to higher education and its maintenance as an organization that aims to survive in the field in which it operates; the trends for the continuity of the institutionalization at UFSCar point to the encouragement of Blended Learning and also suggest a greater submission of the university to the market as the offer of specialization courses is increased, and partnerships are sought with the private sector as a way of maintaining the activities of the unit manager of DE in UFSCar.

This work aimed to know the experience of families in the care of children with myelomeningocele, seeking to investigate the repercussion of the disease in the family context and to identify the factors that integrate care to this child at home. It is a qualitative research, that adopted as theoretical reference the Symbolic Interacionismo and as methodological referential the Theory Grounded in the Data. Thirteen families participated in the study, with a total of 28 participants. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were carried out at the participants' homes and the data analysis was performed concomitantly with the collection, according to the steps recommended by the referential. It was possible to understand that the experience is constituted by two Phenomena: "Facing the malformation of the child" and "Overcoming expectations". The first one indicates the moments of difficulties experienced by the family with the discovery of the diagnosis; uncertainties and fear of caring; uncertain prognoses; incessant treatments; mobilization of family members to meet the child's health needs; the support received and the obstacles faced. The second depicts a rearrangement of the family beyond curative treatments; this search through various treatments, stimuli, devices and physical activity overcome the limitations of the child. They value the child's awareness of their difficulties, participating in and potentializing the treatments, as well as stimulating self-care, thriving future independence. Through these phenomena the Central Category and the Theoretical Model were identified: "Tirelessly looking for better health and life conditions for the child", which represents the experience of the family in the care of the child with myelomeningocele in the study population. Aiming at the autonomy of the child, the family mobilizes itself to the necessary treatments, learn the care, adaptation of the routine, as well as supply for all the needs of the child so that it reaches a potential development, prospecting a less dependent future with inclusion and social ascension. The results lead to the reflection on important areas of nursing action, such as rehabilitation nursing, which was highlighted in this study, since the family members' desire to be cared for; and family nursing, which also shows a potential support for this trajectory, due to its capacity to include the family in the care process.

The drying process of particulate biological materials in fixed bed is influenced by several factors associated with the particles and the bed packing. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the drying of particulate materials with different internal and external characteristics and to investigate how these characteristics influence the bed fluid dynamics, axial temperature profiles and thin layer drying kinetics. It is intended to revisit the analysis of grain drying with experimental data obtained in a standardized way and incorporating on-line acquisition techniques for temperature and humidity measurements. The selected materials were: soy, green lentil, barley, oats and spheres of alumina. The physicochemical properties of the particles as well as the bulk and fluid dynamics characteristics of the packed-beds were measured in different moisture contents of the solid phase. The thickness of the thin layer, as well as the heat transfer in the bed, was analyzed by evaluation of the axial temperature profiles along the bed. The drying kinetics of the materials was studied in a thin layer fixed bed under constant operating conditions. The results evidenced that the characteristics of the beds are strongly dependents of properties like size, shape and surface roughness of the particles, resulting in different bed packing characteristics, such as bulk density, porosity, permeability and tortuosity. The hydraulic radius and permeability of the biological materials presented the following decreasing order of magnitude: soy, lentil, barley and oats. On the other hand, the tortuosity exhibited an inverse order. The inertial resistance factor showed similar values among the materials, with the exception of lentils. The pressure drop was higher in the beds with lower permeability and higher inertial resistance factor. The axial temperature profiles revealed that packed materials with initial moisture of 0.24 g.g-1 d.b. had different heating rates, according to the descending order: soy, lentil, barley, oats and alumina. The effective diffusivities were estimated based on the fit of a diffusive model to the experimental data, assuming a condition of thermodynamic equilibrium at the exit of the bed. The model predicted with good accuracy the kinetic curves for all materials.

Introduction: The transcultural adaptation of assessment instruments is a metodological process, constituted of steps, which allows judging the applicability in a context different from which it was built for, ensuring the psychometric characteristics of the original instrument. The canadian instrument Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS), composed of 21 items in Likert scale, seeks to assess the interprofessional socialization process considering the dimensions of the collaborative care in the context of health practice and training, making possible the identification of the professionals’ and students’ perceptions about themselves and the others, their beliefs, values and attitudes that constitute essential aspects of socialization. Objective: To perform the transcultural adaptation of the canadian instrument Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS-21) to the Brazilian context in the health educational area. Method: It is a methodological study in which the method proposed by Borsa, Damásio and Bandeira (2012) was adopted to perform the translation and adaptation of instruments. The steps of the performed process comprised the translation of the original instrument by two independent translators who are proficient in English; analysis of translations comparing with the original version by the judges committee, composed by eight health professionals who accepted to contribute with the research; synthesis of the analyses by the researchers; back translation by two translators who are native English speakers; submission to the original instrument’s author and pretest, performed with students of seven health majors of a federal public university in the countryside of São Paulo state. Results: After the first step of the process, the instrument translation, both versions were sent to the judges committee to evaluation of semantic, idiomatic, conceptual and cultural equivalences through an electronic form. Later, a thorough synthesis of the judges’ analyses was done by the researchers, obtaining the consensus Portuguese version 1 (CPV1) in which 14 items did not reach the 75% agreement rate. A new round of analysis was performed by the judges committee in order to discuss the found divergences, reaching a 100% consensus. Thus, a consensus Portuguese version 2 (CPV2) was developed, which was used in the pretest step, being applied to 67 health area students. The same versions were sent to back translation, resulting in two versions (R1 and R2) which were submitted to the original instrument’s author who, after analyzing them, considered R2 the most appropriate and provided suggestions for the writing of some items, resulting in the consensus English version (CEV). After analyses of the CPV2, CEV, with suggestions by the author, and pretest, the final Portuguese version (FPV) was developed. Conclusion: The obtained instrument requires validation and will contribute to the assessment of interprofessional socialization, thus making possible the strengthening of health interprofessional education initiatives.

Castable refractories are applied in dangerous environments in which it is unpractical to avoid crack initiation. Therefore, their microstructure is usually complex in order to hinder crack propagation by toughening mechanisms. One way to quantify such mechanisms is calculating the work of fracture via the so-called Wedge Splitting Test (WST), which allows for stable crack growth. However, this method is experimentally laborious and the usual result is only one parameter per test. The stability of the propagating crack leads to opportunities for additional analyses to better understand the fracture process. The present work focuses on extracting more information from one single WST. Parameters relevant to linear elastic fracture mechanics (i.e., crack tip positions during the propagation, stress intensity factors, and T-stress) and insight into the Fracture Process Zone (FPZ) described by various cohesive zone models were sought as well. Three different numerical methodologies are compared on the same experiment, namely integrated digital image correlation, and two finite element model updating methods. The first one uses analytical fields accounting for the presence of a crack in an elastic medium. The second and third ones consist in updating finite element models using cost functions on the displacement fields and on the experimental force, respectively. Slightly different crack tip positions were found by the three methods. Stress intensity factors and T-stresses were also calculated. Using cohesive elements, it was possible to further analyze the FPZ length, which was found not to be fully developed in the test studied herein. This result proves that the examined material has the ability of bridging rather long cracks.

The families of children with disabilities may have necessities that need to be feed to allow quality interaction with their children. Based on the hypothesis that such necessities may be specific considering the child's age and disability, the present research aimed at: (a) to identify and to analyze the routine, necessities and families social support of children from 0 to 6 years with Down syndrome, and (b) to relate the socio-demographic variables, necessities and families social support of the children aged between 0 to 6 years with Down syndrome. It was participated in the study fifteen parents or guardians of children aged between 0 to 6 years with Down syndrome. The instruments used to collect the data were: (a) Brazil Criteria Questionnaire; (b) Survey on the family needs; (c) Survey of social support and (d) Semi-Structured interview script "Necessities, support and stimulation of families of children with disabilities" (which was prepared for this study). These instruments were applied in the form of interviews. Qualitative and quantitative data were obtained via the instruments. Qualitative data were analyzed via categories previously established in the interview script. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive methods (central tendency measures and dispersion). The Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to relate sociodemographic variables, necessities and families social support. The results showed that the greatest necessities of the families were related to the information about the child's disability and the support services that could assist in its development. In relation to the social support, the families were supportive to diverse situations. Considering the routine, most of the children had certain schedules to do the day-to-day activities, a therapies routine and intensive care and they was highly stimulated inside and outside the home. It was also noted that they had a diversity of toys and materials in the home. When correlating the necessities, social support and sociodemographic variables data, it was verified that: (a) the higher the participants' schooling, the greater the total social support; (b) the higher the number of siblings, the greater the support needs; (c) the older the children, the greater the need to explain to others; (d) the higher the per capita income of the family, the greater the total social support and the need to explain to others, and (e) the longer the age of the participants, the greater the need for community services, as well as correlating with the total necessities. It is concluded that this study specifically covered families of children with Down syndrome, and thus, it serves as a guide to possible interventions, considering the specificities of the age group and the target population.

The multiple racial inequalities, components of the everyday life of the Brazilian Negro, were historically questioned in different ways, mainly by the actions of the Black Movement. Claimed by the latter, racial quotas initially thought of as a form of inclusion of young blacks, present as a corollary the questioning of a university structure that sought to make the presence and history of these subjects invisible, as beings not endowed with rationality, inventive and creative capacity. , as beings little endowed with humanity. Having this problem of research, by object, the policy of affirmative action adopted by the State University of Londrina (UEL) to the present (2004-2018), its general objective was to understand the possible transformations occurred in the university structure with the adoption of vacancies for certain student profiles. The specific objectives are: a) to verify which changes regarding the faculty occurred, if they occurred; b) to investigate which changes have been reached - the academic daily life of the student body; and c) to know the performance of the main managers who participated and participate in university administration. To undertake this study, we used the qualitative methodology, as well as documentary research and interviews (with students, teachers and managers). The theoretical bases of this research have, among other references, the contributions of the research already done on affirmative action policies in Brazil and the Sociology of Race Relations. Besides these, the Cultural and Post-Colonial Studies that helped us to understand aspects underlying the policy of affirmative actions, such as coexistence in difference, the construction of other frames of reference on the black subject and the processes of recognition. Thus, we conclude that the vacancies reserved by racial criteria exert a tension on this structure, insofar as the meaning of being shareholder is questioned by the subjects themselves and undergoes changes. The inclusion of black students from public schools already demonstrates the alteration of the aesthetic universe of these courses. Moreover, the reaction to cases of racism and the research interests of quota students alter the student profile and, with this, bring new questions and new pedagogical and theoretical challenges to the university structure itself.

The present work aims to treat through the syntactic-semantic-pragmatic interface of the imperative phenomenon in Brazilian Portuguese. For this to be possible, we will present and discuss some theories that have already worked and proposed some hypotheses. Through the field of generative syntax, we will bring Han (2000) together with the argument that imperatives have, at the top of the hierarchy of syntactic structure, an abstract operator [IMP] that determines both its force (directive), through a [directive] and the notion of unrealized action given by [irrealis], both abstract operators that are part of [IMP]. Also in the syntactic field, we will present the behavior of the imperatives when used in conjunction with the modifying adverbs, as treated by Tescari Neto (2008). In addition to the syntax, we will show that there is only one form, canonical, as given by grammars (CUNHA & CINTRA, 1985; ALMEIDA, 1995; BECHARA, 2009), but there are also imperative phrases: ‘Trata de’, ‘Deixa de’, ‘Para de’, ‘Pode’, ‘Nem pensa em’ e ‘Nem me vem com (essa de)’. From the formal Semantic perspective, specifically from the studies of intensionality, the work will deal with aspects already discussed by Portner (2004), with his Theory of Properties; Condoradvi & Lauer (2012), with its Theory of Performativity; and Kaufmann (2014), with his Modal Theory. After this incursion, we will present our own hypothesis: imperatives are, semantically, anchors of reality, as Kratzer (2015) argues, but they are indeed anchors of time, not of possible worlds, like modal verbs. In the semantic field, after presentation of the formalization of imperatives, From the pragmatic perspective, we will point out that the imperatives are sentences that, through the directive Speaking Act (OLIVEIRA, 1996), engage their listeners (or addressee - Ad). Let us proposing two principles to understand them. In the end, we will connect all the aspects brought within the three fields, discussing the relevant parts, the flaws and the ways of adapting them to our theoretical interface proposal. We will have a brief look and discuss two forms that are used in conjunction with them: imperative-like conditions (ILUs) and imperative-like ultimatums (ILUs), as discussed by Jary & Kissine (2014).

Introduction: HIV/AIDS assumed the character of a chronic disease, especially with antiretroviral therapy. To the extent that one experiences a biological recovery and the possibility of life; the adverse effects of medications and a coexistence with psychosocial barriers emerge. In this perspective, work is highlighted as an important interface of daily life. Objective: To analyze the social representations of the work of people living with HIV/AIDS in the use of antiretroviral therapy. Methods: Qualitative research, based on Social Representations Theory. It covers two phases: the mapping of scientific productions (scoping review) and the field work developed in a Specialized Attention Service (SAS). Inclusion criteria: to be in SAS at the time of data collection; age greater than or equal to 18 years; positive serology for HIV; being in regular use of antiretroviral therapy; to be in mentally conditions and have been employed with paid work for a minimum period of 3 months. The exclusion criterion was coinfection under treatment. A socioeconomic and clinical questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were applied. The analysis was thematic categorial. Results: 18 interviews were carried out. Three thematic categories emerged. The work of people living with HIV/AIDS has been anchored to the elements of social representations of HIV/AIDS and antiretroviral therapy. It is represented by the possibility of survival and to remain in work activities with the advent of antiretroviral therapy. On the other hand, meanings of prejudice, stigma and fear are established. For the female gender, domestic activities are also considered, often leading to a choice between work, family care and treatment. Formal work is recognized for providing better stability. Informality and autonomous work seem to show greater flexibility in the face of disease and therapeutics. Retirement is seen as a safe haven for those who failed to return to work activities. They look for adaptations and strategies to coexist with the adverse effects and to maintain the condition secrecy, before the necessity to have closer to the "normal" life and to avoid constraints and loss of the employment. Final Considerations: Investigating the work of those living with HIV/AIDS is necessary for a better understanding of the meaning of life and health; being able to contribute with the direction of actions to these people in their importance.

Serratia marcescens is a member of Enterobacteriaceae familly with intrinsic resistance to various antimicrobial groups. In this study, 54 strains of Serratia marcescens isolated from patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital in Tocantis, Brazil, were characterized phenotypically and genetically. A large part of S. marcescens isolates (n = 13, 24.07%) were classified as multidrug-resistant (MDR), with a high level of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, quinolones, tigecycline and colistin. Our data confirmed the presence of genes in S. marcescens, which confer resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. PCR analyzes showed that all the isolates (n = 54, 100%) harbored the blaKPC-2 and blaTEM genes, 7 (12.96%) were positive for blaCTX-M-15.8 (14.81%) for the blaOXA-1 gene. The beta-lactamases genes blaVIM-1 and blaNDM-1, blaSHV and blaIMP-2 and the gene conferring resistance to colistin mcr-1 were not found. The ERIC-PCR technique was used to determine the clonal relationships between the strains. The results showed a high genetic similarity between the lines, indicating that S. marcescens circulating in this UTI are highly genetically related. The resistance pattern presented by S. marcescens clinical isolates and the potential transmission of these clones, observed in our study, is very worrying, since it is suggested that they are important disseminators of hospital infections. Therefore, measures that eliminate the sources of resistance development and the reservoirs of these bacteria are of extreme importance for the control of these infections.

The objective of this study was to investigate the social representations of workers of a Family Health team about Matrix Support. We seek to analyze, understand and interpret the ideas, perceptions and concepts reported by participants. The study had as a field of study a family health unit in a municipality in the interior of São Paulo. In the construction of this work, we counted on the participation, as interviewees, of thirteen members of this FHS selected for the research (all the workers who worked there in a superior period two months ago and who were in contact with the actions of matrix support). This is a qualitative research, like a case study, in which methodological approach we used semi-structured interviews from which the contents were analyzed by IRAMUTEQ software. The results presented point to the formation of 5 classes based on two themes: Experiences in mental health, with classes in mental health and mental health learning, classes 1 and 4 respectively; the second theme, attributions and actions of the matrix support with the classes: the role of the NASF in the matrix support, the matrix support in the establishment of the diagnosis and referrals to the specialized services by the primary care and activities of matrix support performed by NASF professionals, being classes 2, 3 and 5, respectively. The matrix support was presented by the group as synonymous with NASF, and represented as something important, however, with notes of poor comprehension, difficulties of knowing the role and for what it effectively serves, thus, how they perceive that it is an activity for a group professionals, doctors, and all other workers are left without the need for such support. Such perception seems to be anchored and maintained by the hegemonic tradition of the domain of health knowledge by certain groups of workers. Thus, mental health activities, such as care and learning in mental health, remain ineffective, pointing out that the matrix support should be better organized and grounded as a policy for transforming primary health care.

As a result of the rise in the population longevity, the prevalence of the diseases that commonly affect older people, such as the dementia syndromes, tends to increase. People with dementia require long-term care, which is mostly provided by family members. Family caregivers often do not have the necessary training to provide care, which may impact their physical, emotional and social weel-being, which may compromisse their quality of life (QoL). Contemporary family arrangements have led to an increase in the number of older people who assume the role of caregivers. Assessing and implementing effective strategies to increase the QoL of older family caregivers is therefore paramount. Age- and dementia-specific QoL scales for use with older caregivers are necessary to validly and reliably measure the QoL of these individuals. With this purpose, the Dementia Quality of Life Scale for Older Family Carers (DQoL-OC) was firstly developed and validated in the United Kingdom by Oliveira et al. (2018). Translating and culturally adaptating such scale for use in Brazil is important to provide a relevant measure for use by health professionals in clinical and research practice, as well as by the older caregivers themselves to assess their QoL. OBJECTIVE: To translate and culturally adaptat the DQoL-OC in Brazil. METHODS: This was a methodological study conducted in five sequential phases, as per recommended by Beaton, Guillemin and Ferraz (2000): initial translation, synthesis of translations, back translation, review by an expert committee and pre-test of DQoL-OC. All ethical procedures were respected (approval n. 2.291.487). The study was reported into two academic papers, which aimed to: 1. Identify in the literature and describe the psychometric characteristics of the specific QoL instruments for use with family caregivers of people with dementia which had been developed (or translated and culturally adapted) and validated for use in Brazil; and 2. Translate and culturally adapt the DQoL-OC for use in Brazil. RESULTS: In the systematic review of the literature, only two studies reporting the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of a single, two-version QoL instrument for use with both family carers (CQOL) and people with Alzheimer’s Disease (QOL-AD) were identified. In the translation and adaptation of the DQoL-OC in Brazil, two translators independently conducted the translation of the DQoL-OC from English into Portuguese. A consensual version was established, which was then back translated into English by a third translator whose mother tongue was British English. Subsequently, the translated versions of the DQoL-OC were reviwed by an expert panel composed of seven specialists who had extensive knowledge in QoL, caregivers, older people and dementia. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated for all of the items of the DQoL-OC, of which 5.3% showed insufficient CVI (< 0.78 - 2 items) and were revised. Finally, the pre-test stage was conducted with 20 caregivers to assess the clarity and relevance of the items. The caregivers suggested modification in 21 items to help improve the clarity and understanding of the Brazilian version of the DQoL-OC. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of DQoL-OC was translated and culturally adapted for use 9 in Brazil. Further research is necessary to establish the validity and reliability of this tool in a Brazilian sample of Brazilian oldfer family caregivers of people with dementia.

All behavior implies choice and every choice, like all behavior, is installed and maintained by the consequences it produces in the environment. Choices are at the basis of what decision-making behaviors are. Self-control, for example, refers to the choice of a stimulus that produces delayed reinforcement, but of greater magnitude, as opposed to choice by a stimulus that produces an immediate reinforcement but of a smaller magnitude, known as impulsivity. Much of what is meant by social behavior can also be understood under the approach of behavior of choice, such as generosity, selfishness, and altruism. Generosity has been defined as a systematic pattern of choices that benefits the other in the same way that it benefits the one who makes the choice. Selfishness, on the other hand, has been defined as a pattern of choices that benefits the one making the choice and less the other, and altruism, a pattern of choices that benefits the other and nothing, or almost nothing, the one that makes the choice. To study the different patterns of choice the area has used an instrument known as Sharing Game. Studies that have used this game to study the phenomena of generosity and self-control have shown that such processes can be influenced by variables such as differences between genders, cultures and cost of response. However, no study was conducted to investigate whether a participant who had a selfish response pattern, after undergoing self-control training, could have his pattern of selfish responses modified by a pattern of optimized responses in the Sharing Game. The goal of these studies was to evaluate the effect of a self-control training on the emission of optimized responses in the Sharing Game in participants with typical (Study 1) and atypical (Study 2) development. In Study 1, initially the participants were submitted to the Sharing Game and the temporary discount task. If they had their response patterns classified as selfish and impulsive, they underwent a self-controlled response training, which involved a simple discrimination (TDS), reinforcement quantity training (TDR) and reinforcement delay training (TAR). Participants were then submitted to the abrupt reinforcement delay condition (AAA) and later to a high preference activity self-control training (CEAP). Finally, participants were again submitted to the Sharing Game to identify whether self-control training had an effect on the emission of optimized responses. The same procedures were applied in Study 2, however, initially it was tested if the participant presented discrimination of the greater relation between the Numerals and later, he was submitted to all sequence of procedures of the previous study. The results of study 1 demonstrated that the participant, who initially presented a pattern of selfish responses in the Sharing Game and an impulsive pattern in the task of temporal discount, after being submitted to the training of self-control, started to chose significantly more optimized responses in the Sharing Game. The results obtained in study 2, with participants with atypical development, demonstrated that the participants did not present the necessary prerequisites to verify if a pattern of selfish responses in the Sharing Game and impulsive in the task of temporal discount can be altered after the participants are submitted to self-control training

The main objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of artistic methodologies effectively contributes to motivate second grade students of High School Integrated with Technical Education in Industrial Automation and Computing, at the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina, São Bento do Sul, to learn the concepts related to Mathematics, especially the content of Trigonometric Functions. In order to obtain a response to this research problem, the theoretical basis was given by several authors who discussed such topics in creativity in Mathematics classes , Art as a didactic tool, History of Mathematics and Seminars, the teacher / author of this work used parodies , played her guitar while teaching topics such as trigonometric reasons and notable angles. Then she also proposed to seminar on the History of Trigonometry, whose evaluation criteria were mastery of content and creativity. This last skill was required in order to be a distinction in any professional career nowadays, although not much explored in mathematics classes. Resources such as whiteboard, textbook, slides, videos and exercise lists were also used during the two-month teaching-learning session, ending with a Geogebra software summary by the cell phone or computer access. In the seminar presentations, several teams recounted facts of the biography and the main contributions to Trigonometry and Sciences in general of the mathematicians Hipparchus of Niceia, Claudius Ptolemy, François Viète, John Napier, Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler and Bhaskara Akaria through artistic expressions such the music (parodies), theater, video, poem, poetry, chronic, etc. After the conclusion of the subject and in order for the students to evaluate the didactic proposal, a voluntary and anonymous questionnaire was applied. The analysis of the answers indicated that most of the students approved the methodology used, requesting it’s maintenance and extension. Through their greater participation and interaction in the classes as well as in the study in overtime, together with the quality of the presented works, it was verified that the return to the questioning initially proposed in this research was positive. This way, it was verified that the use of Art as a didactic tool in Mathematics can be a good way to increase students’ motivation in the subject.

Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming more and more popular, growing mainly in the educational area being applied in many types of systems, such as games, simulators, etc. Low-cost devices are helping in this advent of VR, especially head-mounted displays - HMD. Several studies point out that students who use VR education systems improve their performance, are more interested and learn more. VR in computing is a technology that allows the user to “be” in other places without having to leave their current location. Two important features of this technology are immersion and interaction. The more immersive, the more the user has the feeling of being within the virtual environment, which contributes with better attention and concentration. With the new VR devices emergence, many interaction techniques can be combined. This work aims to investigate whether different forms of interaction with conventional keyboard and mouse, only HMD and HMD with joystick can improve immersion, usability and comfort in an educational 3D simulation game with adapted 2D menus. To carry out this study the following procedures and scientific methods were utilised: (i) state-of-the-art on VR in order to identify which inexpensive devices are available and which interaction techniques can be exploited in these resources; (ii) a systematic mapping on the use of VR applied to education; (iii) the design of the experiment, hypothesis definition, structure and pilot test; (iv) the statistical analysis of the data collected and the answer to the research question. The game chosen for the experiment was initially developed for the desktop platform and was implemented two more HMD's versions: (i) one using only the HMD gaze input interaction technique; (ii) another using the HMD with joystick to perform the interaction. The experiment was conducted with 57 high school students divided into three groups. To measure the proposed variables was used: (i) eGameFlow for immersion (FU; SU; YU, 2008); (ii) the System Usability Scale - SUS for usability (BROOKE et al.,1996); (iii) Simulator Sickness Questionnaire - SSQ for comfort (KENNEDY et al., 1993). Finally, the preparation, the cleaning, the coding, the organization, the normality test and the statistical analysis of the collected data are presented. The results show that HMD game versions improved immersion when compared to the desktop version, but did not improve usability. The desktop version was the one that got the best comfort.
