Each stage of development, added to the specific characteristics of the students, may require a different management by the teacher in terms of educative social skills. Thus, this study aimed to: characterize the educative social skills of pre-school teachers with typical development, behavior problems and disabilities; characterize the repertoire of social skills and behavior problems of children, in the teacher's view; compare social skills and behavior problems in children with typical development, behavior and disability problems; compare social skills and behavior problems in children related to gender and type of school; relate teachers' social skills to behavior problems and children’s social skills. Thirty-two teachers from the common class of Early Childhood Education participated in the study; all of them had at least one Special Education Child in Development (PAEE) student registered in their current classroom. The teachers answered individually to the following instruments: 1) Preschool Kindergarten Behavior Scales (PKBS) to evaluate the repertoire of social skills and behavior problems of three preschool students (a special or late education child in development, a child with typical development, and a child with behavior problems); 2) Inventory of Educative Social Skills that describes behaviors presented by teachers related to the students; 3) Educative Social Skills Questionnaire (QHSE) of the preschool teacher in daily situations at school. The data collected by the instruments was analyzed according to previous instructions of the authors. Pearson's correlation test was used to link the data. T-test and the Anova were used to compare social skills and behavior problems of children. The results indicated that in the self-assessment the teachers have a high repertoire of Educative Social Skills. It was noticeable that teachers self-assessed more positively in the IHSE-Pr in the two following topics: give instruction about activity and organize physical environment. In the QHSE instrument, the teachers presented more difficulties in the topics: establish interactive context and establish limits and discipline. There were statistically significant differences in behavior problems and social skills among students with typical development, behavior problems and disabilities, when the comparison is related to gender. In the comparison of social skills and behavior problems between the groups, it was observed that, in general, children with typical development presented a repertoire of broader and refined social skills, in addition to lower rates of behavior problems. On the other hand, children with behavioral and disability problems presented similar average values in most of the social skills factors. No significant correlation was found between the educative social skills repertoire of the teachers and social skills and behavioral problems of the children. However, some factors related to the educative social skills of the teachers had a significant positive correlation with sociodemographic variables, such as teacher age and professional experience. Considering these results and the goals of the National Education Plan, it is important to promote public policies aimed at training the teacher of Early Childhood Education in educative social skills to favor the overall development of their students regardless of their characteristics.

Epidermoid Carcinoma of the Head and Neck is a type of malignant tumor that presents a heterogenous characteristic, since it affects different anatomical sites like, for example, the oral cavity, larynx and pharynx. The main problem associated with this neoplasia is the high number of deaths due to delays in diagnosis. The scarcity of public health resources, the high costs of performing tumor detection tests, the current methods of late diagnosis and other aspects contribute to the malignant cells spreading to adjacent tissues, decreasing the patients' expectations and quality of life. With the need to assist and improve current medical studies, the use of nanoparticles in medicine has become a very interesting aspect in creating products and new techniques to improve health. This is possible because these nanoparticles have a high potential in studies of monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the early stages. This work aims to study silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the recognition of specific microRNAs for CEPC, with the objective of analyzing their activity as nanobiosensor, since their photochemical properties are unique and efficient for use as fluorescent probes. For this, the metastatic tumor markers miR-203 and miR-205 will be used. The methodology consisted in immobilizing oligonucleotides on the surface of AgNPs and then subjecting them to contact with the miR-203 and miR-205 targets. Results showed that only protocol 3 was efficient in the immobilization of oligo-miRs and that the interaction between the complex formed by the modified AgNPs and the microRNAs promoted a colloidal suspension staining change, indicating the specific annealing formed between the free end of the oligo-miR and their respective microRNAs. These results were confirmed by UV-Vis, FTIR and AFM techniques. The innovative character of the project is the fact that this specific interaction can contribute to different diagnostic methods due to the high sensitivity of the material to recognize small concentrations of the studied targets, which can act as a potent alternative in the early detection of CECP, thus improving the existing diagnostic techniques.

Polypropylene (PP) is a polymer used industrially on a large scale. However, the PP has limitations in external use due to its sensitivity to photodegradation, when exposed to the elements. This limits the options of use and reduces its useful life. The chemical deposition of plasma-assisted steam can produce thin films of organosilicon, which cover the polymer surface. These films can increase chemical and physical resistance and the resistance to the degradation, without interfering in aspects such as color and brightness, due to their transparency and nanometric. The polypropylene samples were treated by Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), for the deposition of the films were used different combinations of gases, pressure, and power. Gas pressures between 0.046 and 0.172 Torr are used, which is composed of the mixture of oxygen, argon and acetylene gases in various combinations and always having the precursor gas HMDSO. Deposition times ranged from 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, with power ranging between 40 and 160W and radiofrequency of 13.56 MHz. The sample sets were exposed to ultraviolet light (UV-C) of fluorescent lamps, germicidal, 15W of power, emission maximum at 254 nm wavelength, for the time intervals of 48 to 196 hours. The samples were characterized by SEM, FTIR, UV-Vis, profile, contact angle and instrumented indentation test. The SEM results show a mechanical anchorage of the film in relation to the substrate, since the crackings of the virgin polypropylene presented a width between 3.5 and 5 micrometers and a length of several millimeters, the polypropylene covered with films of organosilicon presents cracks with width 0.5 to 1 micrometer and length of 2 to 5 micrometers. In addition to the reduction in crack size and the good adhesion of the film to the substrate, it was observed that the film remained mechanically adhered to the surface of the polymeric material even with PP photodegradation. The microscopic analysis of the photodegraded material showed similar morphology to the phenomenon of fibrillation, however without tension use by a tensile load as usual, but by the separation of the walls of cracks, which arose due to the decrease of volume caused by the crystallization that occurs on photodegraded polymer surfaces. Finally, the results demonstrate that plasma deposited organosilicon film on polypropylene can be used for the physical and chemical protection of the material at photodegradation. This leads to an increase in the life of the material, a lower detachment of photodegraded layers and possibly decrease the release of secondary microplastics, thus reducing the environmental impact.

The Scientific and Technological Literacy (ACT) has been much discussed in Science Teaching and, little by little, is being inserted as a purpose in the curricula of basic education. However, higher education still lacks many studies that favor the inclusion of approaches that promote TCA. Because it is something to be developed throughout the life of the citizens, ACT should be present at all stages of teaching. In higher education, we emphasize the importance of this approach in teacher training courses, undergraduate courses. A student in a bachelor's degree who is unfamiliar with ACT's assumptions and who is not exposed to ways to develop it will hardly be able to promote it with his prospective students, resulting in a chain problem throughout the educational system. Given the relevance of this training, many studies are developed in order to develop strategies for promoting ACT in Science Teaching, such as the Interdisciplinary Island of Rationality (IIR), proposed by Fourez (2005). Taking into consideration the aforementioned notes, we seek, in this work, to make a bibliographical survey to identify aspects necessary in the training of graduates from the ACT perspective. From these aspects, the ACT process indicators were developed for teachers in training, to be considered in the analysis of information obtained through semi-structured interviews with students of the Licentiate in Chemistry course. The purpose of creating these indicators, and using them in the interviews, is to be able to create a parameter that identifies a training of a licentiate to promote ACT. In this work, it was also specially evaluated how an IIR may or may not contribute to training in this sense, and can be used as a teaching strategy in undergraduate courses. The results pointed out that a reflexive formation is fundamental so that we can have graduates qualified to promote ACT, since this type of formation can lead in several actions of the future teachers that involves the aspects indicated in this dissertation as necessary for the promotion of ACT, in addition the IIR was evaluated as a good methodological strategy to favor this reflexive formation and in favor of ACT.

Introduction and Hypothesis: A falta de evidência sobre a função da Musculatura do Assoalho Pélvico (MAP) na Incontinência Urinária de Esforço (IUE) ainda se apresenta como uma lacuna a ser investigada. Diante disso o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar quais os fatores preditores de incontinência urinária de esforço em gestantes no terceiro trimestre gestacional. Methods: Estudo observacional transversal, foram avaliadas 271 gestantes no 3º trimestre gestacional, por meio de uma ficha de anamnese, questionamentos relacionados às disfunções da MAP e prática de atividade física e foi realizada a palpação vaginal pelo esquema PERFECT. Os dados foram analisados no Minitab 17 Statistical Software. A associação entre as variáveis foi calculada pelo teste exato de Fisher e foi feita a análise de regressão logística binária, considerando a ocorrência de IUE como variável dependente. Foi adotado o nível de significância de 5%. Results: A IUE apresentou como preditores, a função da MAP (P (power) / E (endurance)) (OR= 1.85; 95% CI: 1.10 to 3.12 / OR=3.70; 95% CI: 1.60 to 8.51), obesidade pré- gestacional (OR= 5.20; 95% CI: 1.85 to 14.64), obesidade gestacional (OR= 2.70; 95% CI: 1.25 to 6.07), não praticar atividade física (OR= 1.86; 95%CI: 1.14 to 3.03). Conclusions: Força da musculatura do assoalho pélvico menor que 3 (Escala Modificada de Oxford) e não capacidade da sustentação da contração da musculatura do assoalho pélvico, sobrepeso e obesidade anterior a gestação, obesidade durante a gestação e não praticar atividade física, são preditores para IUE no terceiro trimestre gestacional.

This research was aimed at analyzing formative actions directed to school principals who worked within the São Paulo Municipal Education Bureau, between the years of 2013-2016, during the Workers' Party mayor Fernando Haddad administration. Our interest was to identify the premises on which such actions were structured. Regarding a Workers' Party administration, the hypothesis was that such actions would be based on democratic principles, mainly autonomy and participation, and not on technicalist and managerial approaches, very much in vogue nowadays. A research relevant aspect was the attempt to discern between two main aspects of the actions: school routines and others, linked to permanent, lifelong formation processes, which structure schools' administration, considering both essentials to the offering of social qualified basic education. The methodology was qualitative and exploratory, based on documental sources related to the formative actions carried on in the Regional Office of Education of São Miguel Paulista, linked to the São Paulo Municipal Education Bureau and the governmental plan for basic education in the city of São Paulo, Programa Mais Educação São Paulo: subsídios para implantação (SÃO PAULO, 2014). Thus, through this investigation, it was possible to comprehend that there was some congruency between the basic educational proposals from the Workers' Party and the formative actions in which the principals took part, and, still, that democratic principles, such as autonomy and participation were part on them.

Economic games have been useful as experimental models for situations of complex social interaction. Psychologists interested in the phenomenon of generosity have used economic games to study decision-making processes and resource distribution. One of these games is the Sharing Game and research has analyzed the effects of some variables on how people allocate resources, such as distributor gender, magnitude of reinforcer, and impulsiveness. The present work intends to evaluate if and to what extent distribution strategies in the Sharing Game are affected by the contextual variables of distributor's gender and amount of money. In an single subject design, two experiments involving repeated trials were made with ten opportunities in which participants between 10 and 14 years old made choices to distribute the resources among themselves and a passive participant. Participants could choose optimally, competitively, egalitarian or altruistic. Before that, the Delay Discounting Game was carried out to analyze the impulsiveness of the participants' choices in the allocation of resources. The study also allowed for intersubject comparisons regarding the gender of participants. These games are important because they allow for: analyzing the contingencies involved in people's decisionmaking, characterizing the choices as ideal, fair or competitive, and bringing scrutiny into consideration of the possible effects of other variables (eg., gender, monetary incentive, money, information, etc.) on the distributions of people's choices, to determine whether these choices are stable or influenced by these variables.

The purpose of this Masters Dissertation is to analyze if the Environment Education Program it is, in fact, implemented into the city of Ibate’s (State of San Paulo) municipal education system, using as a reference the investigation of the Municipal Law n° 2.554/2010, which constitutes the Municipal Policy of the Environment Education Program, with the intention of verifying if there is correspondence between the ordered by law and the one fulfilled by the educational agents. For the analysis, a research roadmap was developed with questionnaires and interviews for the municipal teachers, which made it possible to identify that the Environment Education Program, although present in the discourses, it does appear in specific situations of the pedagogical practice. It is also occasionally related to municipal regulations, which compromises the complete execution of the law and important precepts of the Environment Education Program. The Research Roadmap was characterized as a research and investigation tool for the strengthening and reflection of Environment Education Program in the school spaces. Thus, the study points out the need to reformulate the teacher’s perceptions for critical Environment Education and the necessity of ongoing training of environmental educators by municipal public bodies.

In this research, we seek to understand the distribution of languages in the enunciative area of the border region of Foz do Iguaçu, in the state of Paraná. This work, since inserted within a Semantics of Enunciation, aims to deal with the relation between languages as a political relation that is given by the way the speakers designate the languages they speak. Therefore, we will approach this question from a political, historical, and social perspective of language. Based on our analyses, we observe the extent to which the distribution of languages in this space - the official languages of the bordering States, the phrases deriving from the linguistic relations, such as the portunhol and jopara, or those of immigrants - is related to the fact that people speak and hear a certain language in their daily life, which authorizes the subject to speak in one or another language in order to understand what each language designates and how they constitute the speakers. Our corpus consists on answers from an interview elaborated for this research and on advertisements found in public spaces in order to observe the functioning and distribution of languages and also to understand, in the enunciative scenes, how the meanings that designate the languages are being constituted in this enunciation space, as a political space. The results of our analyses show us, through the procedures that the speakers operate in the organization of the text in the event of enunciation, such as rewriting and articulation, that the speaker of the border or speaker of a border space functions as a political figure that is mobilized in several languages and, in enunciating, it signifies itself as divided by the languages and positions itself when identifying with the socio-historical conditions in which it is inscribed.

Among the sciences, chemistry stands out due to the various possibilities of addressing each topic, starting from a simple observation of an experiment or from the reading of nature itself, emerging the questions and the necessary intricacy for the production of scientific knowledge. Something that difficults the chemistry teaching is the way it is practiced. Excessively transmitted, not in a full context, resulting in does not consider the comprehension and the experience of the student. This dissertation was oriented by the use of music as an instrument of work and language in the process of scientific literacy in chemistry classes, so that there was a greater interest of students in learning this discipline and, consequently, promoted an improvement in quality of teaching and learning through the playful surroundings. Currently, it would be easier to list the environments where the music is not present. The modern smartphones are a potential educational tool in the teaching and learning processes when they have their teacher-oriented use. The use of active methodologies, where the student is the protagonist and the producer of his own knowledge, it confers a new dynamic to the process, always guided by the mediator-teacher, who also ends up assuming the role of an oriented-researcher of the educational process. The present work developed an educational sequence to teach the content of electrochemistry, using a playful methodology, with songs and/or parodies, accompanied by intricacy and contextualization considering the experiences of students. In sequence, the groups of students according to their musical preference produced unpublished music and/or musical parodies as products of this work, involving the key concepts of the electrochemical contents that were worked in the classroom, evidencing the process of scientific literacy according to Chassot and Miller.

The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass generates phenolic compounds and furaldehydes that inhibit the enzymes and yeast used in the process of hydrolysis of cellulose and alcoholic fermentation. In this context, the aim of this work was to evaluate low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the inhibitors generated in the liquid hot water pretreatment (LHW) of sugarcane bagasse. The materials used to obtain the adsorbents were sugarcane bagasse fly ash and coconut shell charcoal, both agroindustrial residues. Fly ashes from two sugarcane mills were evaluated (named as fly ash A and B), and physical activation of the fly ash B and the coconut shell carbon was also performed. The adsorbents were characterized by pore structure, groups and surface charge, and crystallinity. The activation of the fly ash B resulted in an expressive increase in the surface area and the pore volume of the adsorbent. The structural properties of activated fly ash B showed features less microporous than coconut shell charcoal. All the values of pHpcz of the adsorbents were between 2 and 2.7 for the range of pHs evaluated (2 to 10), except for coconut shell activated carbon that was negative throughout the pH range. Nevertheless, all the adsorbents assessed were effective on the removal of inhibitors and provided the increased glucose in the hydrolysis of cellulose, with gains up to 52%. This positive effect was also observed in the alcoholic fermentation carried out in the presence of the treated liquor, with the coconut shell coconut being very efficient in the removal of the furaldehydes. The results showed that the use of sugarcane bagasse fly ash and the coconut shell activated carbon to remove the inhibitors could increase the efficiency of the enzymatic hydrolysis of the lignocellulosic biomass and the alcoholic fermentation, with performance comparable to the one of commercial activated carbon.

Tropical riparian zones, considered essential due to their high ecological value for water quality, soil stabilization and biodiversity conservation, are an example of areas that are intensively degraded by agricultural activities. Ecological restoration, which leads to intervention procedures of degraded environments aiming at the reestablishment of their ecosystem functions, is one of the existing mechanisms to minimize the anthropic effects of degradation. For the success of restoration, one of the essential factors is soil quality, which maintains the plant and animal productivity of an ecosystem. To evaluate these conditions, soil macroinvertebrates are important indicators of the conditions of an ecosystem, since they vary with changes in soil and vegetation quality. However, there are few studies that consider these organisms in restoration areas, also considering soil conditions. We evaluated in this study whether the structure and composition of the soil macroinvertebrate communities respond to the restoration gradient in which they are located, as well as to the nutrient availability of the substrate. The study was conducted in a riparian area inserted in an agricultural context. The diversity and composition of soil macroinvertebrates were evaluated in three adjacent vegetation types characterized by being at different stages of succession - pasture, restoration area and remnant forest fragment. The area under restoration was managed through the reintroduction of ten tree species native to the region five years ago, a project implanted in an area formerly used as pasture. In addition, the area encompassing the three vegetation types is on a longitudinal gradient of soil fertility. The variables of environmental characterization of the area (vegetation structure and soil chemistry) were obtained. The macrofauna was obtained by the pitfall method and identified at the morphospecies level. Indicators of the structure of the soil macroinvertebrate communities responded differently to the environmental conditions. Abundance and richness, although indicating differences between vegetation types, evidencing higher values in the restoration, followed by pasture and forest, when used alone may not provide important information on the factors that determine the structure of macroinvertebrate communities that inhabit the litter, since the diversity, dominance and fairness indexes showed that soil quality also positively influences communities, with greater diversity and uniformity in environments with greater availability of nutrients. Thus, indices that consider relative abundance combined with wealth indexes seem to be more effective. Simplified and restoration environments have a positive effect on nutrients by increasing plant productivity, increasing the availability of resources and habitats, which reflects increasing the diversity and uniformity of communities. Regarding the composition of the communities, 3 factors are decisive for their structuring: The type of vegetation existing; the availability of nutrients, which affects productivity; and the presence of grasses. Communities of restoration areas with nutrient inputs and low percentage of grasses indicate an approximation with remnant forest communities

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a deficit in motor coordination that interferes with the child's functionality. Due to slowness and inaccuracy in motor skills such as running, jumping, writing and flinging, motor performance is compromised, becoming under that expected in relation to children with typical development. This difficulty makes children to isolate from games and friends, since they perceive their limitation, which can lead to psychological damages such as anxiety and depression. Based on this, considering the integrality of the child (biopsychosocial), the objective of this dissertation was to track and characterize the psychomotor profile of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder, which resulted in three articles. Study I, entitled 'Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Systematic Review', aimed to find evidence in the literature of anxiety/depression symptoms in children with DCD compared to their pairs without DCD. The results show significant evidence on the relationship between DCD, anxiety and depression. Study II, entitled "Symptoms of anxiety and depression in schoolchildren with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder", whose objective was to identify whether reported symptoms of anxiety and depression are related to the presence of DCD in Brazilian school-aged children. The results indicate that Brazilian children have a high risk for anxiety, regardless of motor performance and age; however, children with DCD of 10-12 years of age report a significantly higher number of depressive symptomatology compared to their non-DCD pairs. Study III, entitled "Motor performance evaluation of Brazilian children with Developmental Coordination Disorder through the Movement Assessment Battery for Children and the Körperkoordinationstest Für Kinder", with the objective of comparing the motor performance of Brazilian children with moderate DCD and severe DCD in 7-8 and 9-10 years of age groups. As a result, in the evaluation of motor performance through MABC-2, the greatest deficit was observed in children with severe DCD, regardless of age, while in motor assessment performed by KTK this deficit remained significant only in children with severe DCD of 7- 8 years.

To guarantee the quality of the software, static and dynamic analysis techniques can be used. Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used together to improve the quality of the results obtained. In this work, we present a strategy for the application of a set of mutation operators in the software test, which represents a dynamic technique, based on the difficulty that automated static analyzers have in the detection of model defects. In other words, we investigate which defect categories, represented by mutation operators; an automated static analyzer can recognize and thus prioritize the mutation test considering only the set of mutation operators that model defects that are difficult to identify by the static analyzer used. We compare our subset with other subsets of already proposed mutation operators and. With the data collected, the statistical analysis showed that there are statistical differences between the mutation score and the cost reduction of the proposed strategy and the strategies present in the literature. The results obtained are promising since the subset of mutation operators identified by the proposed approach presents similar cost and mutation score to the subsets of mutation operators compared but still aggregate information not previously captured by these subsets, i.e., the intersection with defects that can be identified employing static analysis at a lower cost.

Since the late 20th century, there has been an intensifying trend of the inclusive educational system towards students belonging to the Special Education target audience (SETA), mainly in the regular educational curriculum. High Ability/ Gifted (HA/G) students belonging to this SETA group have been receiving little specialized assistance, since the number of HA/G student enrollments has not grown satisfactorily. Moreover, it was observed that dual exceptionality is less visible due to the association between HA/G and disability or disorder, and that limits its identification by the teachers. Under that premise, the primary objective of the present research was to observe a student with Asperger Syndrome and signs of a HA/G profile in logical-mathematical reasoning attending Middle School. The specific objectives were: to observe the student's performance in Math and Science activities; to describe the activities performed by the student during the observation period in Math and Science classes; and to apply the HA/G Indicator Checklist (Lista de Verificação de Indicadores de Altas habilidades/Superdotação, LIVIAH/SD). The nature of the research is observational, under a descriptive design, with outlining of the case study. The research participants were a Middle School student diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, one Math teacher and one Science teacher of a state public school, respectively. Observations during classes were used for the data collection, within the following categories: observed classes, student demeanor during the classes, pedagogic strategies used by the teachers, student performance completing activities, student stimulation and, also, the use of a field journal and recorded classes with the consent of the student and teachers. The teachers received the HA/G Indicator Checklist (LIVIAH/SD) with 25 items, with nine indicators determined by the Science teacher and two by the Math teacher. The observation results have shown that the student revealed potential in the logical-mathematical field in comparison with his class peers; however, it wasn't possible to state that the student has a High Ability/Gifted profile, since the presented results consisted of observations performed in less than a midterm, and the content approached in Math and Science wasn't substantial enough to constitute an indication. It wasn't possible to indicate a HA/G profile using the LIVIAH/SD instrument; furthermore, there was no instrument, up to the completion of the research, that could be applied to students with suspicion of dual exceptionality (HA/G and Asperger Syndrome), and that may have interfered with the teachers' indication. Therefore, the creation of an instrument and/or assessment procedure for such dual exceptionality cases could facilitate the identification of these students.

This dissertation aims to understand the meanings that the young high school students integrated in the IFSP Campus Salto assign to the school experience in integrated high school and their future projects after completing basic education, giving visibility to gender asymmetries, and, where relevant, color / race inequalities. We carried out a study that included the application of a survey with open and closed questions to the 191 students of the intermediate level courses integrated in industrial automation and informatics in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years. The results analysis was performed primarily quantitatively and secondarily qualitatively, counting on the support of the likert scale for the quantification of the elements inherent to the school experience. We found that there is a predominance of males versus females in integrated middling courses. The school has a representative "color / race", according to the method used by IBGE, similar to the locality where it is inserted. These youngsters seek the integrated high school of the federal school because they believe that the school will provide quality teaching, with better teachers, increasing the possibilities of continuing the studies and of insertion qualified in the job market. Although integrated secondary education courses are, at the documentary level, justified by the regional demand for the training of workers, we have identified that the meanings that these young people attribute to vocational education indicate that the integrated secondary education of the IFSP campus Salto goes far beyond professionalization and attendance of local economic demands, being constituted as a space of formation with qualified teachers and of integration between the students. Regarding professional education, the study points out that some of the assumptions about the professionalization of young people through the "flexibilization" of school curricula that underpinned the reform of secondary education proposed by Law 13.415 / 2017 do not apply what was found among adolescents in this research , since the participants of the research affirmed that both the common base subjects and the professional disciplines generally tend to increase students 'interest in continuing their studies and assisting in the elaboration of students' future projects. More specifically in future projects, we realize that, in general, the expectation of these / these young people is to attend higher education after the end of high school, however, a generalized analysis shows that the sexual division of labor present in modern society manifests itself in the field of possibilities of these investigated youngsters, since, while the students are in search of careers related to the technical courses, the students have a greater variety of professions in your answers.

The main objective of this research is identifying how the concept of discourse genre are constituted in theses and dissertations about textual production in the literacy context and in the initial three years of elementary school. Thus, we start with discussions about discursive genrer based on Mikhail Bakhtin (1997). In the presente thesis, we find to identify the contexts of speech development of theses and dissertations. Therefore we have tried to identify the genrer approach, objectives and problems of the academic works selected to make the research. And, we need to identify the theoretical references about discursive genres of theses and dissertations, and we try to understand how the concept of the discursive genres could contribute to the development of differente proposals - pedagogical strategies, methodological path to researche and results that dissertations and theses developed in the classroom. This thesis is bibliographic because we review database that was present in the Catalog of Thesis and Dissertations of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personal (CAPES). The treatment of the database was based on the reading steps proposed by Salvador (1980), and content analysis that was indicated by Bardin (2011). The research context needs to be observed in this thesis. The database collected to make the work was developed in the southeast of Brazil and focus on Education field. We verified different theoretical perspectives: philosophy of language, sócio-rethorique, socio-interactive and systemic-functional linguistics. The problems and objectives topics of the analyzed research, we could explain two different tendencies: gender as an instrument of teaching and as discourse. In the other hand, when we observe categorized surveys as a classroom, we also see two tendecies: genres as disciplinary content and genres as a concrete statement. Thus, we understand that textual gender concept followed two lines of approach, one focused on language in action, as a discourse, and another that focused the genres as an object of teaching.

This dissertation discusses part of the Brazilian academic publications concerning forensic chemistry in chemistry teaching. In this regard, papers published on this subject from 2000 until the first bimester of 2018 were located in journals related to the CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) "QUALIS Education and Teaching Program". Twenty articles published in Portuguese and Spanish language journals were analyzed. In the Spanish language journals, only articles were considered in which the authors presented links with Brazilian institutions. All papers found were analyzed regarding the following descriptors: year of publication, geographic region, home institution, level of education and thematic research areas. The results pointed to a significant increase in publications from 2010 onwards, particularly in 2017. For the whole set of publications, researchers´ contributions from universities in the southern region were predominant, with a higher concentration from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and State University of Western Paraná (UNIOESTE). The level of education that received most attention was high school and two thematic foci were identified: forensic chemistry in chemistry teaching from a theoretical perspective and forensic chemistry in developing teaching strategies. The latter included the highest number of publications and was classified into the following subfoci: using media material; experimentation; Role Playing games; texts on forensic chemistry; analysis of a fictitious crime associated with experimentation; analysis of a fictitious crime associated with experimentation and using media material; and analysis of a fictitious crime associated with experimentation, using media material and a case study. The full analysis of the articles showed that the national academic work on the area is low and dispersed. The analysis also revealed that forensic chemistry teaching has the potential to arouse the interest and encourage students´ learning concerning questions related to chemistry.

Because our country has a continental dimension and a very suitable climate for practicing numerous varieties of crops, it is necessary to obtain adequate control of the pests that afflict food production. One of the main agricultural pests is insects, especially leaf-cutting ants, which greatly reduce productivity and thus compete with man for food. Thus, this work describes the study of the methanolic extracts of the branches and dichloromethane of leaves of Picramnia glazioviana, whose main objective is to control the activity of leaf cutting ants in order to reduce their action as agricultural pest. HPLC-DAD, CPC-DAD, NMR-1D and 2D, UPLC-HRMS techniques were used for the separation and characterization of the compounds. In addition, tests of insecticidal activities were carried out against cutter ants of the Atta and Acromyrmex species and inhibition tests against the symbiotic fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus. The results demonstrate insecticidal and fungicidal activities of the crude extracts studied, as well as the identification of chemical substances already reported in the genus, such as the anthraquinones Aloe-emodin and Chrysophanol, which have already shown insecticidal activity in the research group. In addition, a work with Citrus, more specifically orange bagasse, was carried out, where metallic complexes were generated with chemical metabolites present in the medium and insecticidal and fungicidal activities were tested. As results, there was the proposal of characterization of the complexes mainly through analysis in the UPLC-HRMS, in addition, the complexes of metal 2 presented insecticidal action on ants and inhibition in their symbiont fungus. Thus, the application of a separation approach (CPC) in Brazil for complex extracts, aided by the response of prominent biological activities, generated the possibility of future applications of the results, as well as opportunities for new work in the research group. In addition, the complexation of substances of interest from complex extracts in metals, led to the writing of a patent with the results obtained, thus contributing to innovative approaches in the Chemistry of Natural Products.

Ternary Al-15%Cu-7%Si and Al-22%Cu-7%Si alloys specimens were obtained by transient directional solidification (DS). This technique is able to provide a very large range of cooling rates and microstructures to be correlated to each other. Overall the microstructures of the directionally solidified samples are constituted by an α -Al dendritic matrix surrounded by two eutectic, that is a binary eutectic, consisting of Si and α -Al, and a bimodal eutectic consisting of cellular type binary eutectic colonies (α-Al + Al2Cu) in a ternary eutectic matrix consisting of (α -Al + Al2Cu + Si). Specially in the case of the Al-22%Cu-7%Si alloy, primary Si particles were also observed. A complete analysis of the dendritic length scale was performed so that relationships of primary and secondary dendritic spacing with cooling rate and growth rate could be derived. The mean dendritic spacing of the DS samples varied: from 85 to 337 μm (λ1) / from 5,7 to 17,7 μm (λ2)/ from 5,5 to 1 7,3 μm (λ3) and from 93,6 to 249 μm (λ1) / from 9,8 to 18,1 μm (λ2) / from 6,6 to 15,1 μm (λ3) for the Al-15wt.%Cu-7wt.%Si and Al-22wt.%Cu-7wt.%Si, respectively. Higher tensile and compressive strengths are associated with the DS alloy containing lower copper content. Furthermore, mechanical properties have been determined for various samples related to different dendritic spacing values so that Hall-Petch type equations could be proposed.
