Product-Service System (PSS) corresponds to an integrated series of products and services to the customer and an approach that, besides innovating in the generation of customer value, can bring benefits from the environmental point of view. The PSS list has been presented to a large number of companies, including manufacturers of hospital equipment, who have been able to develop products, services and solutions that enhance quality and reduce healthcare costs. However, the methodologies for the development of PSS are dependent on models, methods and tools for other areas of research. The challenge is how the specificities of development, in addition to monitoring the decision-making process of the pre-development phase. In view of this context, this paper aims to describe and analyze how the information and evaluation criteria of innovation of two companies in the health sector to care for children. The bibliographic research and the case study were applied. There are three results of the research results. The results of the processes of generation and systematization in the execution of the processes and decisions in the front end of the innovation of the process of development of the PSS. Second, there was a lack of integration between product development and service activities. Third, they are important and current statistics on the part of the companies investigated. The implications of this dissertation proposal are: (i) proposal of a framework for the decision-making process in the front-end of innovation of the development of the PSS in companies manufacturing medical-hospital equipment; (ii) impressive, companies that are part of the quality sector of their decision-making processes.

The species of peppers that belong to the Capsicum genus are worldwide cultivated and the Biquinho type (C. chinense) has been gaining prominence in the national scenario due to its sweet taste and absence of pungency. The aim of this study is to search for an alternative fertilizer to produce this kind of pepper and to evaluate the agronomic characteristics of production, the fruit dimension and physical-chemical analysis. It was used a randomized design block with four replicates (four blocks) and three treatments: T1 – mineral fertilizer, T2 – biofertilizer and T3 – control, totalizing 12 plots. The research lasted 231 days, and nine fruit harvest were made. The following variables of production per plant were evaluated: number and mass of fruits (g/plant). Regarding the dimensional parameters of the fruit: wall thickness, diameter, fruit mass and length. For the physical-chemical analysis were evaluated: chlorophyll; humidity; titratable acidity; soluble solids; pH; firmness and ascorbic acid. For the production parameters (weight and mass of the fruits), the treatment with liquid biofertilizer application was superior than the other treatments. About the dimensional variables of the fruit (length, diameter, mass and wall thickness) there was no significant different between treatments with liquid biofertilizer and mineral fertilizer, however, the control treatment presented inferior results. In the physical-chemical analysis, the control treatment presented a lower content of chlorophyll and the peppers produced with chemical fertilizer showed higher levels of acidity, also as control, and lower pH. There was no significant difference between the treatments regarding the levels of humidity, soluble solids, firmness and ascorbic acid. In front of the results, the liquid biofertilizer proved to be a satisfactory alternative to produce this kind of pepper.

Plant Growth Promoter Microorganisms (PGPMs) stimulate the development of plants by different mechanisms, such as the production of plant hormones and solubilization of minerals. The species Torulaspora globosa, isolated from the rhizosphere of sugar cane and maize, proved effective for the production of indoleacetic acid and organic acids capable of solubilizing minerals, such as phosphate, with potential to stimulate plant growth. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of T. globosa yeast (6S01 strain) and addition of glucose and/or tryptophan in the initial development of corn under controlled conditions.Sixteen treatments were evaluated, with 106 and 103 cells/mL being evaluated at different times, each inoculating in seed and/or plant, and adding glucose and/or tryptophan, with six replicates per treatment. The experimental design was a completely randomized design. The concentration of glucose (20 g/mL) and the concentration of tryptophan (0.1%). The evaluation was carried out by the parameters of shoot length and root and dry mass of shoot and root. It was observed that the addition of glucose in the yeast inoculation treatments promoted the damage in the initial development of the plant of both concentrations. Tryptophan favored the increase of the root dry mass, inoculation of the seed and plant or the seed in the lowest concentration of cells and the concentration of 106 cells / mL when inoculating the seed. The inoculum at the concentration of 106 cells / mL gave better results, but was statistically similar to the control, except for the evaluation of the aerial part of the corn in the treatments of seed and plant inoculation and the dry mass of the aerial part, also without statistical difference with the control. This is an unprecedented but preliminary study, since it was carried out under controlled conditions, and only with analysis of the initial development of the corn plant. The results obtained are promising and motivate further studies, with the use of inoculation of the plants in non-sterile soil, greenhouse and in the field.

Understanding the basis of vascular tone regulation is important to comprehend the cardiovascular physiology of any vertebrate. Recent investigations on reptiles have tried that description working on anesthetized animals. Unfortunatelly, such approach can be ineffective to access mechanisms that rely on some level of autonomic modulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) and of adrenergic stimulation on the control of vascular tone in reptiles. This study used the developed decerebrate rattlesnake model in order to avoid the deleterious effect of anesthetics on cardiovascular modulation. We found that NO is effective vasorelaxing in rattlesnakes and there is a resting level of NO production. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) caused systemic vasodilation followed by systemic conductance (Gsys) and systemic flow (Q ̇sys) increasing, and it was associated with systemic mean arterial pressure (MAPsys) reduction. As a response, cardiac output (CO) was elevated. In the pulmonary circulation, SNP increased pulmonary conductance (Gpul) and reduced pulmonary mean arterial pressure (MAPpul), while pulmonary flow (Q ̇pul) remained unaffected. The systemic vasodilation after L-arginine (L-Arg) was similar to the effect of SNP injection. Although, there were no effects of L-Arg on the pulmonary circulation. Therefore, in rattlesnakes, NO is synthetized via L-Arg and it has partial role on the local regulation of systemic vascular tone. In contrast, the pulmonary vasculature is less reactive to SNP and also, NO production seems not to be dependent on the L-Arg. Adrenaline and phenylephrine caused systemic vasoconstriction that was abolished by phentolamine, demonstrating this response was mediated by α-adrenergic receptors. Injection of phentolamine caused a marked vasodilatation followed by Gsys and Q ̇sys increasing, and it was associated with MAPsys reduction. Injection of propranolol promoted bradycardia, with consequent decreasing of CO and Q ̇sys and increased of systemic vascular tone, without changing the Gsys and MAPsys. These results indicate adrenergic modulation via α-receptors is quantitativelly more relevant to modulate MAP than the β-receptors branch of barorreflex in Crotalus. Pulmonary vasculature is less responsive to adrenergic stimulation. Also, phentolamine was more effective in alter Gpul than propranolol. Therefore, we suggest that the adrenergic stimulation by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is more effective in modulate vascular tone than cardiac activity in rattlesnakes.

Scientific Institutionalization is a current challenge of occupational therapy in Brazil as it celebrates 50 years of its professional regulation. In recent years, there has been an intense movement of Brazilian occupational therapists in the development of strategies to address this challenge. One of these strategies involves monitoring the training and participation of its researchers in the development of research and graduate activities. In this study, the thesis is presented that talking about the involvement of occupational therapists in research does not mean affirming the occurrence of research in occupational therapy. This finding was developed from the characterization of postgraduate education and professional practice of occupational therapists with masters and doctorates in Brazil. This is a descriptive and correlational study, based on documents, with a descriptive and analytical quantitative approach. We analyzed the Lattes Curricula of occupational therapists registered in CNPq Lattes Platform trained and / or working in Brazil. Information was also collected about undergraduate and postgraduate occupational therapists in the Capes Dissertation and Thesis Catalog, the Sucupira Platform and the E-mec Platform. Among the results, it was identified that by the end of 2017, there were 859 masters and 329 doctors in the country. The scientific field of Brazilian occupational therapy consists predominantly of women (93%). It has a late and time-consuming process of constitution, with 62.61% of its masters and doctors graduated from 2010. Their researchers were trained in 237 master's programs and 27 doctoral programs, with the predominance of master's training in 11 areas. Assessment (83%) and PhD in 10 areas (84%). There has been a change in the profile of postgraduate education, influenced by regional diversity and the participation of occupational therapists as mentors in master and doctoral courses. There is considerable regional asymmetry in the distribution of masters and doctors in the Brazilian regions, where 55.47% of postgraduates are located in the Southeast. Only 52% of masters and doctors participate in any research group, and of these, only 59% research occupational therapy. There has been a significant increase in the training of new researchers in undergraduate research and postgraduate studies. More than 90% of the bibliographic production of occupational therapists with master's and doctorate degrees occurred from the 2000s. However, 7 out of 10 articles produced by these professionals do not mention the descriptor “occupational therapy” in its title, abstract and / or words. -key. In this way, several associations were observed between postgraduate education and professional practice that imply the production of scientific knowledge developed by these professionals. The implications of these data for the scientific institutionalization of occupational therapy in Brazil are discussed.

The Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) is an alternative management approach to Lean Manufacturing, which aims to achieve lead time reduction in environments with a high variety of products. The objective of the present research is to evaluate the degree of knowledge and application of QRM in a company of the cosmetics sector and, from this, to propose improvement actions so that companies can better prepare to introduce QRM in their business. Basically the proposal followed the basic steps of a QRM project, reaching the conclusion that the long lead time in the studied sector of the company is caused by four main causes: (I) high demand for orders that are not being served within a lead time four weeks; (Ii) lack of adequate processes in the project sector; (III) delay in the arrival of machinery; and (IV) difficulty in implementing the QRM mentality in departments such as Purchasing and Finance. It was possible to conclude from this that managing the changes in the QRM implementation process is a fundamental factor in order to take advantage of the benefits brought by this approach, making it important for companies to invest in QRM training and dissemination and awareness of employees, suppliers and customers about this approach, since the research made it clear that employees understand the importance of lead time, but need support, training, direction and integrated vision that must be provided by top management.

The defense and preservation of the environment are state duties and the fundamental right of all individuals, including assured to the future generations. With regard to the normative principle of constitutional order that imposes the state of a power-duty, it is imperative that they are viable, from mechanisms of environmental protection, to reach the end. The objective of this work is to analyze the feasibility of the use of the national tax system as an instrument to reach the constitutional precept of environmental research, with the addition of a differentiated tax treatment for environmentally protected driving, with the application of taxation in its extra-fiscal purpose. An integration of the legislation and precepts of Environmental and Tax Law was sought, in the form of a preview of the Premial Law, supported by the protector of the principle-receiver and an extra-fiscal environment. The methodology adopted for the research and dissemination of thematic data in the bibliographic research, but also uses primary sources and documentary research for the collection and qualitative analysis of the data. As the verification of environmental, tax and environmental performance, including the increase of environmental extrafiscality in federal, state and municipal laws, with the implementation of tax mechanisms that apply the tax legislation, which directly or indirectly benefit the environment. It is also evident that the legal system presents constitutional permissive for the institution of a new principle by the Union, no exercise of its residual competence, which could have a markedly extraphysical character, of an environmental nature, given the freedom to constitute constitutional, normative for this institution. Lastly, there is a legislative gap that applies to the application of environmental tax extrafiscality, which is not a taxation of the carbon market.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulate and coordinate processes and function of organs to maintain homeostasis of the cardiovascular system in response of changes in the internal environment. Frequently, the understanding of the response patterns, interaction reflexes and other factors regulated by ANS, required in vivo studies. The use of anesthetics during the course of experimental protocols and data collection has been a way of solving the problems related of such studies. However, anesthetics depress the nervous system and compromise the conclusions from investigations that rely on functional ANS. Thus, in this work, we sought to validate a decerebrated preparation with individuals of the species Crotalus durissus. Decerebration consists in the ablation of superior brain areas in order to maintain preparations that are incapable of superior processing, perception and sensations of any type, including stress or pain. In these preparations, areas of the brainstem and part of the hypothalamus are maintained. Thus, the cardiovascular homeostasis is maintained. In the present study, we performed series of physiological tests for validated the presence of autonomic responses in the model. In addition, we performed a baroreflex study to understand how effective is the model in representing the intact animal. Decerebrated animals were able to keep hemodynamic variables constant during the tail lift protocol. In the head lift maneuver, the systemic mean arterial pressure (MAP sys) increased to ensure adequate blood supply to the head. In addition, during surface heat application, the heart rate (fH) increased, a cardiovascular response typical of Squamata group members during heating. Pharmacological stimulation of O₂ chemoreceptors induced elevations in fH and changes in net shunt. These tests attest that diverse populations of baroreceptors, O₂ chemoreceptors and temperature sensors have functional afferences generating autonomic reflexes even after the decerebration procedure. This indicates that the ANS of the decerebrated animals remains functional and capable of performing hemodynamic compensations to various perturbations. The study of the baroreflex through the pharmacological method indicated that the decerebrated animals maintain the gain and baroreflex limits similar to intact animals. We conclude that the decerebration doesn’t eliminate the reflexes generated by the centers of cardiovascular integration in the central nervous system (CNS) of rattlesnakes, keeping it functional like intact animals. In addition, isoflurane anesthesia suppresses the baroreflex of the decerebrated animals, modify the responses to autonomic function protocols, and causes a decrease of the mean arterial pressure. Thus, the use of anesthesia in the course of experimental protocols involving autonomic reflexes is not indicated.

Technologies able to control or hinder the release of nutrients from fertilizers have been studied in order to improve agricultural systems with minimum environmental impact. In this context, biodegradable polymers extracted from renewable sources, such as pectin and chitosan, have been considered as alternative polymeric matrices for the development of slow/controlled release systems with a focus on agriculture. Previous studies of our research group have focused on the development of pectin and chitosan particles using vinasse (the main wastewater from the ethanol production) as solvent, showing promising results regarding functional and chemical properties for fertilizer application. This work evaluated the potential use of particles based on these agroindustrial by-products as alternative fertilizers for soil applications. Pectin (Pec_V) and chitosan (Quit_V) particles with vinasse were obtained by dripping the biopolymeric solutions in crosslinker solutions. Particles with water as solvent were produced as control. Physical, chemical and physico-chemical properties of the particles, as well as, the biodegradation in soil, the release of nutrients in water and water retention behavior (in clay and sandy soil) were evaluated. The addition of vinasse conferred greater stability to the pectin gel compared to the formulation with water, showing a positive impact on particles properties. Particles had spherical shape, and granulometric specification of coarse grained. Compared to Quit_V, Pec_V were more soluble, showed higher swelling degree and lower compression force. Pec_V and Quit_V exhibit biodegradation degree of 65.1% and 68.0%, respectively, after 113 days of contact with soil. Water evaporation rates were lower for sandy soil containing Quit_V and Pec_V, compared to control soil (without particles), indicating good perspectives for the use of particles in drought-prone regions. According to the Brazilian legislation, Pec_V can be classified as mixed organic fertilizer class A after pH adjustment to 6.0. Quit_V were classified as organomineral fertilizer class A, added with Ca, S, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn. Particles with vinasse showed potential to be applied as fertilizer in agriculture, allowing the recycling of nutrients from vinasse to the soil and, above all, represent a novel alternative for the use of this expressive wastewater from the sugar and alcohol industry.

Considering that editorial mediation plays a constitutive role in the functioning of the discursive regimes of literature, we state a hypothesis: whenever a literary work is (re)published as a new editorial object, the imaginaries about the literary text and how it should circulate are updated, displaced, and transformed. In order to discuss that, the theoretical framework is based on some principles of French Discourse Analysis (Maingueneau, 2006), and related areas, such as Mediology, History of the Printed Book, Design and Semiology. The main objective is to investigate how the Antología de la Literatura Fantastica (ALF), organized by Adolfo Bioy Casares, Jorge Luis Borges, and Silvina Ocampo, and published in 1940 by the Argentinian Editorial Sudamericana, materializes new imaginaries when published by the Brazilian Cosac Naify in 2013. Methodologically, it is possible to identify these imaginaries from the ethé projected by the discursive scenography of the book. This scenography shows itself by the conjunction of textual, paratextual, graphic, and material elements formalized in the book. A descriptive study reveals how imaginaries related to the ALF have been transforming since the first edition, throughout the decades. Nevertheless, a constant factor works in the material formalization of these editions. There is a constitutive vanishing of information about the editorial processes every time a new edition of the ALF comes out, as if the book was a black hole that “swallows” its own history. Second, there is a dynamics between the force created by the use of images, symbols, and themes of the fantastic, which tend to suspend rational references to a certain time or space, and the editorial vestiges (Debray, 1995) that bond the object to its context of production.

Population growth and uncontrolled progress contribute to the generation of construction waste (CDW), when inadequately disposed of, cause environmental liabilities and affect the quality of life of society. In order to establish guidelines for the management of these, CONAMA Resolution No. 307 was created in 2002, however, the municipalities, mainly small ones and stakeholders involved, had difficulties in implementing the system due to the lack of financial resources, technical staff and supervision. Timely measures to remedy such impacts are joint actions, where municipalities work together to achieve economic and environmental benefits. Thus, this research aimed to characterize the current management of CDW in the 10 small municipalities that make up the São João River management unit (MB-13): Bom Jesus da Penha, Fortaleza de Minas, Itaú de Minas, Jacuí, Pratápolis, São Pedro da União, Cássia, Nova Resende, Passos and São Sebastião do Paraiso, in order to propose a model of management consortium to provide decisions. The Soft System (SSM) methodology established seven stages: documentary, field research, bibliographic review, diagnosis, data compilation and analysis of the actors involved in structuring the intermunicipal consortium. It was verified that in 80% of the municipalities the responsibility of the management of the CDW is of the public power, of which it lacks resources directed to the activity, besides finding them arranged in disorderly ways and places, without distinction of classes and care of the dangerousness. They do not have infrastructures such as ecopoints, ATTs, class A landfills and recycling plants. In the other 20%, the management is directed to companies of bucket, who are responsible for the final destination of the waste and some areas properly licensed. The builders do not present PGCDW and the PMGCDW public administration, they claim difficulties in complying with the guidelines established by the resolution, do not have collectors and transporters records, legislation, supervision and educational actions. In the unit, class A waste is predominant, with a similar percentage incidence among builders, denoting standardization of the construction processes. In this scenario, the management consortium was structured as Steps for the administrative headquarters of the association and 4 groups for the exercise of activities: Clusters 1 and 2 are composed of 4 municipalities and a landfill each, together comprise a mobile recycling plant, which will act in the ecopoints of each municipality for a period of 7 days. Clusters 3 and 4 operate in isolation due to the volume of CDW and territorial area, with the first 4 ecopoints, one ATT, one class A and one recycling plant operating for 30 days, and the second, 5 ecopoints, 2 ATT, 2 class A landfills and a recycling plant operating for 30 days in each ATT. The system will share services, technical and administrative staff, with an estimated cost of implementation of R $ 2,645,766.75 financed by own resources, state, federal or agreements. Due to its sustainable character, the short-term operational cost is managed by the municipalities' contribution, proportional to the volume of CDW generated and the use of infrastructures and services, and later with financial resources produced by the system itself.

The Cerrado, synonym of resistance and resilience, is losing abruptly space in our society where economic interests “speaks louder”. Even knowing of their enormous biodiversity, of endemic species, importance in relation to the maintenance of water, is not enough to conserver this domain, that has been devastated by human activities such as agriculture and livestock. The existence of a Cerrado area inside a university and having as a neighbour the illustrious Parque Ecológico de São Carlos (PESC), a zoo focused on Brazilian and South American fauna, makes this research promotes the visibility of spaces with enormous potential for visitation and scientific research. Based on the problematic and importance of developing this project, the proposed objectives were the elaboration and implementation, in a participatory way, of a monitored visit roadmappassing through an area of Cerrado at the university and the Parque Ecológico de São Carlos, promoting reflections about the in situ and ex situ conservation. The methodology used was a qualitative approach, based on critical ambiental education and the systematization of experiences, that promoted the effective participation of those involved, as well as reflection and critical interpretation on all the processes and elements present in the experience. The investigation occurred in four moments: Moment I: an initial diagnostic was made to identify reasons why people go to the Cerrado and the PESC, as well as previous knowledge about the Cerrado and zoos. Moment II: interviews and a participative workshop was made with monitors were held to define the themes to be addressed and the route of the roadmap. Moment III: elaboration of the roadmap based on data previously collected and definition of the best route after two pilot visits. Moment IV: disclosure of three visits to this new roadmap. In the visits to the Cerrado-PESC we applied pre and post-visit questionnaires to understand the profile of the visiting public, their expectations, previous knowledge about the Cerrado, zoos and conservation, as well as suggestions and criticism of the activities performed. In Moment I, 162 questionnaires were collected, which revealed great curiosity of people to know the Cerrado and knowing more about it, the visiting public of PESC comes to him for leisure, family outing; the answers obtained helped in the reflection of the activities and elaboration of the roadmap. In Moment II interviews were obtained with seven monitors, identifying previous knowledge about the Cerrado, zoos and the possibility of a roadmap integrating the two spaces and a participatory workshop to build a roadmap proposal. Moment III: there were two pilot visits to define the best route and topics addressed and, finally in the Moment IV visits were made by the Cerrado-PESC roadmap, with the participation of 41 people, who demonstrated through the questionnaire, the contentment regarding the visit, to the topics addressed. The moments, experiences were very important and the elaborated roadmap can and should be modified in relation to the themes, the way itself, promoting visits to diverse publics, because it is essential that reflections and improvements of practice occur. We hope that the research carried out could contribute to a better understanding of integrated conservation and the appreciation of both environments by its visitors.

The decision-making process within political parties is one of the most recurrent themes in the debate on the institutionalization of the party system. In this sense, the objective of this research is to analyze the organizational transformations of the Christian Social Party - PSC, with emphasis on the internal changes promoted by the party elites and their possible consequences and conflicts, since this party concentrates Catholic and Evangelical Christians, often with conflicting interests. In recent years, throughout Latin America it is possible to observe the reemergence of conservative forces in the political scenario. On this occasion, in Brazil, evangelicals come to endorse a conservative agenda, equipped with a moralistic discourse in defense of Christian precepts and in favor of the traditional family. Thus, we try to answer the following question: how does the distribution of internal power in the PSC occur, from changes in its leadership? What are the organizational consequences of this change? Our general hypothesis is that from changes of the top leaders, influenced by the external environment, the PSC began to align its political appeal with evangelical Christianity, changing its hunting territory and becoming more conservative. Therefore, the bonds and resources derived from this Christian segment became more important to the party's organizational survival.

This dissertation has as theme the issue of female education at the First Republic, in Sorocaba/SP, based on the publications present in the newspaper O Operário (1909-1913), especially those that were signed by women. The problem that oriented this investigation questioned the different biases presents in this publications made by them. For this purpose, the qualitative and documental-bibliographical types of research were used, and the facsimile version of the newspaper was consulted. O Operário was a bi-weekly newspaper aimed at the working class to give them "a voice". Open to diverse participation, it counted with publications of men and women, some of them dealing with the issues of education and being based on distinct ethical-political paradigms. In a Sorocaba that, on the one hand, had an elite excited by the modernization of the "Manchester Paulista" and, on the other hand, with an working class formed mostly by immigrants, subject to the most diverse adversities, O Operário covered voices that looked at education, both by the rational-scientific (positivist) bias and by the rational-libertarian (anarchist) bias. Therefore, the aim of the research was to analyze the approximations and distances between these two paradigms, based on the publications present in the newspaper that concern the issue of female education.

Open innovation practices promoted by Brazilian companies have gained prominence since the year 2014. This is related to the new dynamics of the world economy, driven mainly by the technological revolution and the popularization of the Internet. Conse-quently, a market is born for digital products like applications, software and hardware. In this scenario, open innovation events, known as hackathons, became popular. The present study has as general objective to analyze the reasons for Brazilian organiza-tions to perform hackathons and to identify what is done with the winning products after the event. Exploratory and of a qualitative nature, the research used case studies to achieve its objectives. We interviewed six companies that promoted hackathon events with different themes, but related to the process of digital innovation, three consultan-cies that work in the organization of hackathon and twenty individuals participating in the marathons on a voluntary basis. Among the main answers, it was observed that the events have as benefits: the improvement of the image of the organization vis-à-vis society and its stakeholder (when confronting respondents' answers); supporting the development of an organizational culture focused on innovation and the retention of new creative collaborators. Participants cite as advantages, the expansion of the network of relationships with companies and other hackathon agents, the exchange of skills and the possibility of contributing to social causes. One of the difficulties pointed out is the lack or direction of support for the implementation of the projects, since there is no post-hackathon. There are relatively few winning projects properly implemented after the event, as the researcher observed in the search for cases to illustrate the projects that continued. Problems related to infrastructure, intellectual property and the organization of marathons have also been reported.

Stainless steels are recognized as good materials to be used in corrosive environments, but their wear resistance does not exhibit good results. Therefore, researches have been developed to increase the wear resistance of stainless steels by the addition of boron. Significant improvements in wear resistance were obtained by the addition of boron in the supermartensitic stainless steels processed by spray forming due to the formation of hard M2B borides in the microstructure. This work has the objective the production of HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) coatings of the modified supermatensitic steel with 0.7% wt. of boron (SM-14Cr-0.7B), its microstructural characterization and evaluation of the wear properties. The coatings were produced manually using powders in two distinct particle sizes, 0-20 μm and 20-53 μm. The powders and coatings were characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The two particle sizes presented microstructures composed of martensite, retained austenite and M2B type borides. The coating obtained with powders of 20-53 μm granulometry presented in its microstructure a small amount of oxides and borides of type M2B in two forms: coarser borides in the form of a three-dimensional network interconnected; and in the form of spherical precipitates of the order of 100 nm or less distributed within the martensitic matrix. The coating obtained by the powders of 0-20 μm granulometry presented a low average thickness and a high amount of oxides. The wear rate obtained by the pin-on-disc test for the SM-14Cr-0.7B coating processed by HVOF using the powders of particle size 20-53 μm was approximately one order of magnitude lower than that obtained for AISI 1010 steel and unmodified supermartensitic steel.

Agroecosystems depend and also interfere, positively or negatively, on the different ecosystem services (ES). Understanding its perception is very relevant for the conservation and definition of territorial guidelines, especially in periurban areas that act as buffers between urban and rural zones. The objective of this work was to analyze the perception of ES by farmers located in transition areas between urban and rural zones. The study was conducted in the “Sister Alberta” Commune of the Earth, a pre-settlement established in the capital of São Paulo, with the application of semi-structured interviews with key informants. The most reported ESs were those related to the ecosystem functions of support and culture, and the most cited were “nursery”, “cultural identity”, “food”, “sound regulation”, “aesthetic appreciation” and “air quality”. Sociocultural and spatial context aspects in which they are inserted influenced the perception of ecosystem services. The presence of agroforestry home gardens was the most prominent factor influencing the perception of ecosystem services.

This dissertation resulted from an exploratory investigation, initiated around 2015 and that had the objective of analyze the educational trends presents in the Sorocaba´s newspaper O Operário (1909-1913). The methodology used in this investigation was the documental type, based on the access to the facsimile that contains almost all the editions of the studied newspaper, and bibliographical, that occurred with the lecture of texts about the historical period which the newspaper was published, the educational trends and the commentators of the theoretical-methodological foundations they kept. The newspaper, primary font of this research, that was bi-weekly, had a publishing system based mainly on the collaboration of texts sent by various authors. Therefore, your pages reveal a wide range of discussions, oriented by diverse trends of theoretical-methodological paradigms, of the positivisms, which dealt especially about the sciences of nature and the religiosity, from the socialisms to the anarchisms. Although the themes were ample, with the research, related here, was possible to reach the expected result, that is, to identify and to analyze the proposals and debates about the educational trends presents in the newspaper.

The use of plants in intercropping has the purpose of increasing the diversity of species, producing a greater amount of dry matter, greater root exploration, inducing improvements in soil physical and hydraulic attributes. The objective of this work was to analyze the effects of Crotalaria spectabilis and Cajanus cajan on soil physical and hydraulic attributes. The experiment was conducted in the 2017/2018 harvest in the city of Araras - SP, in Nitisols (Nitossolo Vermelho), in a randomized complete block design, with four replications. The treatments consisted of three maize intercropping with: MC) Crotalaria spectabilis (5 plants m-1); MG) Cajanus cajan (5 plants m-1); MCG) Crotalaria spectabilis and Cajanus cajan (10 plants m-1, five plants of each green manure), planted in the corn row and three control treatments: M) corn; C) Crotalaria spectabilis and G) Cajanus cajan, singles for temperature and soil moisture, besides: CANA) conventional cane and MN) forest fragment, for the other attributes. Soil temperatures were measured at 8, 12 and 17 hours in the phenological stages V5, V8, VT, R2, R4 and R6 in the row and between row of sowing and soil moisture in the corn sowing row for all treatments. The depths of evaluation were 0-0.10, 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m. Deformed and undisturbed soil samples were collected at the same depths. Time, depth and line / interline positions influenced soil temperature, while depths and phenological stages influenced soil moisture. The intercroop reduced the temperature of the soil, mainly MG. Also, the MG reduced the soil moisture between V8 and R2 of maize. The introduction of Cajanus cajan in the consortium reduced soil density (DS) in the 0,10-0,20 m layer while the introduction of C. spectabilis reduced in the 0.20-0.40 m layer, compared to the CANA. C. spectabilis increased the macroporosity (Mac) in the layer 0-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m, whereas the Cajanus cajan increased Mac in the layer 0,10-0,20 m, in relation to M. The use of these species in intercropping did not cause significant differences for the soil resistance to penetration in any of the depths studied in relation to M.

The objective of this research was to investigate the university context and its implications on the mental health of students. The methodology was divided into two stages: the first consisted of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the forms of 288 undergraduate students who sought psychological care at the Psychology Service of the Sorocaba campus of UFSCar, where the researcher acts as a psychologist. The results revealed the predominance of female students (64.2%), first and second year students (60%) and non-scholarship holders of the Student Assistance Program (76.3%). Regarding the complaints related to the university, the categories with the highest rates were those associated with academic performance, professional doubt and difficulty in friendships, with 44%, 21.5% and 20% respectively. With the increase in the age group of students, a greater number of complaints were identified about academic performance, career future and complaints from teachers, which can be explained by the pressures arising from family and labor market and from themselves to complete the course, because they consider themselves behind due to age. In the second stage, four focus groups were held, with axes in the family, in the interpersonal relationship, in the academic and in the career, followed by the qualitative analysis of the speeches.The results pointed to the feeling of being pressured, due to the overload of tasks, and the competition among the students as triggering elements of psychological suffering. The results also included complaints about teachers, indicating the presence of bullying in the university environment. It was observed that aspects specific to institutions, such as bureaucracies and norms, cross relationships and make it difficult to form affective bonds between teachers and students.Some suggestions to minimize the psychological suffering of the students were presented by the participants of the focus groups, such as: provide spaces for exchange between teachers and students outside the classroom context, reduce the number of subjects in the curriculum and include participation in entities as a mandatory activity, create welcoming and relaxing spaces and greater performance of the student movement in issues of university mental health.
