A few years ago, a considerable increase occurred in the production, the consumption, and the generation rate of solid plastic waste (RSP). Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) falls into the category of high value and hazardousness, which is not appropriate to be disposed in landfills due to economic and environmental unfeasibility. On the other hand, fabrics and rubbers generated by the footwear industry are sent to landfills due to the difficulty of reintroduction in the production processes. In this context, the goal of the present work was the development of polymeric composites with the incorporation of different contents (10 and 20 wt%) of tennis residue (TW) in the recycled Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) blend from WEEE, compatibilized with Maleic Anhydride (MA). The materials were molded by extrusion-injection, and the composition with the best mechanical properties was also molded by hot compression, aiming to compare both molding methods and choose the more suitable productive method. For this, the developed mixtures were characterized by mechanical tests (flexural, tensile, impact and hardness), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA / DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mixture with the best mechanical properties used 10% TW, 6% MA and PP/PE in equal proportion, improving both the flexural and the tensile strengths compared to the properties of untreated PE and PP polymers. An improvement in the impact resistance was observed due to the addition of TW and MA. Through thermal analysis, it was observed that the incorporation of TW in the PE/PP blend practically did not change the melting temperature. In this sense, the incorporation of TW into the PE/PP blend has shown satisfactory results, enabling the recycling of these three different wastes, while promoting the possibility of their reinsertion the productive process and providing information to allow the development of new products in the direction of the circular economy.

The general objective of this research was to make the commented translation of the Mathematical Anxiety Scale (Escala de Ansiedade a Matematica - EAM), developed by Carmo (2008), into Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). The Scale was elaborate at the Laboratory of Applied Studies on Learning and Cognition (LEAAC) of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). The translation described here was the first step of a larger project for the assessment of anxiety in mathematics of deaf students. To support this study, an articulation was made between the contributions of Bakhtinian studies to the intermodal translation, translation studies on evaluative protocols, and commented translation research. The EAM consists of 25 questions with 5 answers on the theme of anxiety to mathematics in educational contexts. The translation was carried out with a team of four people (two psychology, department teachers, one special education graduate student ando ne TILSP undergraduate student - UFSCar) and took place at the Sign Language AV Translation Lab (LATRAVILIS/DPsi/UFSCar) in 5 steps: (i) previous study of the material by each team member; (ii) collective study of the material; (iii) recording of the translation; (iv) validation of translation by deaf and hearing judges; and (v) recording the translation based on the judges' suggestions. The evaluation of gender and target audience, considering their culture and language, were extremely important aspects in the process, because the translation was built thinking about how this material would be understood by deaf children. Given this, the translation team considered, among other points, which signals would be most appropriate, considering the cultural differences of the audiences involved in the evaluation and how the typology should be presented from the cultural issues of the target audience of the translation. Among the challenges of translation, the maintenance of specific terms, due to the hermetic condition of the genre, presented itself as the greatest, since, from the Bakhtinian point of view, there are no correspondences between languages. Another point that presented itself as a challenge was the difference between language and language use modalities: text written in Portuguese and text signed in Libras. It is hoped that with this research, discussions on the translation of evaluative protocols will be initiated by sign language translators and interpreters, as well as by professionals interested in conducting psychological, linguistic and educational assessments with deaf subjects.

This research investigates the development of Gymnastics with its subsequent unfolding in the discipline Physical Education at the Benjamin Constant Institute (IBC) in the temporal cutout from 1930 to 1979. The IBC was originally created during the monarchic period in 1854 by Don Pedro II, being to the present day the greatest formative reference and care for blind people or visual impairment in all of Latin America. The general objective of this thesis is to analyze the contribution of Gymnastics and Physical Education within the Benjamin Constant Institute in the humanistic formation of blind students between 1930 and 1979, establishing a dialectical correlation with the Brazilian development process observed during the period. The hypothesis defended is that Gymnastics/Physical Education, despite its positivist/militaristic origin for the purpose of forming a strong, obedient, sound and eugenic nation, was treated in the Institute as a counter-hegemonic resource of humanist basis, being a precursor to a process that would later culminate in the social inclusion of blind students. The theoretical framework adopted is linked to historical-dialectical materialism. We used for the investigation of bibliographic and documentary research through primary historical sources as well as synthesis of researchers in the areas of History of Education, History of Physical Education and History of Special Education. It was concluded that Physical Education followed the development of varied ideas and the process of development of national historical time, presenting in the IBC proposals with the biases, playful, eugenic, splicitive, sportsmanship and pedagogical rethinking, however, linked to the capitalist mode of production and its hegemonic ideology presenting, at different times, flashes of contribution of humanistic formation, counter-hegemonic and socialization to blind students.

The effectiveness of school anti-bullying programs is directly associated to the quality of training offered to teachers, although recent researches have shown that teacher´s training courses are still insufficient on such theme. This thesis aims at implementing a programmed learning based on Programming of Conditions to Development of Behaviors (PCDB) with the aim of enabling teachers to evaluate and intervene in school bullying. This study was divided into four phases: Study 1 presents a systematic review of empirical studies on the capacity of teachers about school bullying by analyzing objectives, participants, dependent and independent variables, content and taught behaviors, training courses and their limitations. The amount of ten articles were selected from ten databases. Despite the fact that this study considered the participation of teachers, the subject of teachers’ training on bullying have been put aside by researches. Only four studies out of ten we found were dedicated to the results of training courses on the teachers’ behavior. The lack of detailed description about behaviors, contents and procedures, and the lack of based-line and follow-up have not been sufficiently taken into account. The second study (Study 2) aims at characterizing teacher´s behavioral repertoire with the purpose of assessing and intervening in school bullying. A survey research took place with 54 teachers who answered an online questionnaire composed by 19 questions. Non-parametric statistics (Spearman rho) and posteriori categorization were applied to the research results. The results showed that teachers presented a low performance in conceiving bullying or even identifying types and forms of bullying, and yet they also showed more competence on identifying the consequences of bullying over the target-student when compared to the consequences over the aggressor and spectators. Thus, it also became clear that the majority of teachers ignore protective and risk measures when students get involved in school bullying. Regarding preventive measures, most of teachers referred to “dialogue/discussions about bullying/awareness/advice” and cited different teaching methodologies, in which became clear their lack of knowledge on preventive measures against school bullying. The participants show a better understanding on dealing with the target student than the ones who engages in bullying. In conclusion, the statistics analysis demonstrated a set of 14 positive variables, of which two of them, “identifying protective variables in the school and risk variables outside the school” and “handling the aggressor´s behavior and handling the target behavior” indicated moderate correlation whilst the others maintained a weak correlation. Study 3 aimed at elaborating a programmed learning based on Programming of Conditions to Development of Behaviors (PCDB) with the aim of enabling teachers to evaluate and intervene in school bullying. This program has been designed in three stages. Stage 1: Describing a problem situation and defining the classes of behavior; Stage 2: Sequencing teaching and defining its units of learning; Stage 3: Elaborating the teaching conditions in order to define the classes of behavior. The result culminated in a program named “Identifying and intervening in school bullying” composed by 143 objective-behavior arranged into three learning units: “Characterizing and identifying acts of bullying in school context”; “Preventing school bullying”; “Handling with school bullying”. As a support material, a 65 learning-conditions manual has been drawn up to be applied in a 20-hour training course. Finally, Study 4 aimed at implementing a programmed learning based on Programming of Conditions to Development of Behaviors (PCDB) with the aim of enabling teachers to evaluate and intervene in school bullying. This study was divided into four phases: the application of a pre-test, training stage, post-test and Follow-up. During the training stage, three evaluations were implemented. In Follow-up, a evaluation and an interview on the efficiency of the teaching program have been carried out. Questionnaires were used for evaluating the dependent variables. Two lines of unique individual have been used, one AB and one of multiple based-line for behaviors. The participants´ responses were evaluated from scaling performance. The results demonstrated that the participants were most capable of conceptualizing bullying, identifying types of bullying, characterizing the target student behaviors, identifying the consequences on the target student and the spectators, identifying risk and protective variables in the school, preventing bullying and handling with the target student behavior, the aggressor and the spectators. The efficiency of the teaching program has been demonstrated by the participants’ reports about their behavior in the school and, also the resolutions of bullying cases. Participants also reported that the same behaviors have been showing in other situations of life (e.g. family and among coworkers). Developing teaching programs based on PCDB and also on the principles and procedures of Experimental Analysis of Behavior increase the probability of objective-behavior to appear in the end of training and still in the external environment.

The class of global Gevrey functions was introduced recently by Z. Adwan, G. Hoepfner and A. Raich, the elements in these spaces are defined in terms of its derivatives with estimates that depend on sequences. It is know that in the local case ultradifferentiable functions defined by sequences and weight functions are not always the same. In this work we shall introduce the class of global ultradifferentiable functions according with weight functions, making a study from the point of view of functional analysis. It is possible to characterize these classes of functions by decaying of their FBI transform, that is, there exist a version of Paley-Wiener theorem. Our techniques, when adapted to the local case generalize recent results such as the existence of almost analytic extensions. As application, we introduce global ultradifferentiable vectors and show the validity of the global Kotake-Narasimhan theorem in this setting.

This paper characterizes the public transport system in the city of Marília - SP, with an analysis of its service's quality, and presents an intervention proposal, with the implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit - BRT system in an area where a currently disabled railroad, that crosses the city, is located. The public transport in the city is operated by two companies, which operate in different regions and are represented by an association. A technical visit occurred at one of the concessionaires, and their organization and procedures were observed. The service's quality analysis was made based on technical literature and considered the main indicators of transport quality studied by Ferraz and Torres (2004): accessibility, attendance frequency, time of travel, reliability, safety, bus characteristics, bus stops, information system, connectivity and road conditions. Strengths of service’s quality are accessibility throughout the city, the information system and the universally accessible fleet. The existence of the Terminal is also a strength of the system. The main public transport routes were analyzed and the need for prioritization in the proposed corridor was determined according to the number of buses passing through the area, which was also evaluated based on its characteristics and physical capacity to receive the implementation of a busway. Currently, the corridor has the potential to carry around 35,140 passengers daily.

This work demonstrates the potential for application of negative curvature hollow core fibers (HC-NCF) as efficient sensors to monitor three gases simultaneously, methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen monoxide (NO). With the insertion of lateral holes in these fibers, the ambient gas can enter the hollow core, causing the light that propagates in the fiber to interact with this gas. This interaction between light and gas, in spectral regions where the gases present high absorption, allows the monitoring of low concentrations of gases present in the environment, by attenuating the light output. The results of the simulations show a linear behavior of the loss as a function of the gas concentration for the three gases of interest. This linearity between the propagation losses and the variation of the concentrations of gases in the environment can promote its application in the area of health and the environment, to monitor low concentrations of gases with high speed and precision.

The proposal is to discuss, from the perspective of Science, Technology and Society (STS) approaches, the characteristics and scope of the development promoted through the promotion of Technology Parks (PqTs) and incubators of companies in Brazil, based on the analysis of policies and cases of pioneering experiences in the country, the Campina Grande (PB) and São Carlos (SP) Technology Parks Foundations. Therefore, an analysis is sought with emphasis on the following questions: What relationship is established between TQT and Development? What is the conception of Science, Technology and Innovation (CT&I) expressed (or between the lines) in public policy proposals for PqT in recent years? What is the nature of the proposed policies, their scope and dialogue with the critical demands for the country's development? What are the actors involved? The analysis is guided by the theoretical assumptions of Latin American Thought in Science, Technology and Society (PLACTS). Methodologically, the work is classified as explanatory research, using the bibliographic and documentary research methods. It uses the content analysis technique for a qualitative, critical and reflexive understanding of the cases, starting from five categories for analysis: Incubator; Technologic Park; Public resources; Partners; and Relationship with the place. Public Policy analysis uses the categories of analysis (context, content and actors) proposed by Araújo and Maciel Filho (2001). Thus, the study presents a critical look at the focus on the creation of PqTs as a development strategy for emerging countries. Subsidized by the information raised, we understand the PqTs as a controversy. The State makes use of these structures as environments capable of producing wealth and metamorphosing into development, even when the objective of the Parks is nothing more than promoting the culture of innovation and competitiveness in the business segment. The recent history of the PqTs is a failure story of the linear model of innovation. This work was carried out with the support of the Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination - Brazil (CAPES) - Financing Code 001.

Accessibility and Universal Design concepts were initially directed toward the conception of objects, equipment and the physical space of the Person with Deficiency. These themes became more relevant in so far as their usage included people in general, independent of their physical, cognitional and sensorial limitations. Considering the importance of these themes to the professionals of Occupational Therapy and Architecture and Urbanism and the present legislation which refers to these themes, the purpose of this work is to investigate how the concepts of Accessibility and Universal Design are presented on curriculum content of undergraduate programs for those professions, in both Federal and State Brazilian Universities. The sampling criteria in this research took the data of 32 out of 51 courses of Architecture and Urbanism and 8 out of 19 courses of Occupational Therapy . These courses had either (a) Political-pedagogical projects and/or Curriculum Grids available on-line, (b) course description, (c) objectives or (d) contents which dealt with Accessibility and/or Universal Design. These data were analyzed through Content Analysis followed by a descriptive analysis using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results showed that Occupational Therapy courses are more directed towards the user while Architecture and Urbanism courses are more directed towards the space. It was also possible to see several different ways of focusing Accessibility, according to the different discipline subjects. This shows a lack of homogeneity among the universities, in both course-areas. Concerning the concept of Universal Design, while it is included broadly in the programs of Architecture and Urbanism, it is absent in the programs of Occupational Therapy. It was also understood that although there are disciplines that aim at analyzing Accessibility and Universal Design they are either optional or they are only themes which are part of other subjects. Keywords: Architecture and Urbanism, Accessibility, Universal Design, Occupational Therapy, University Graduation Courses.

Over the last few years, the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has impacted the interaction between people. In Education, significant changes have occurred in student behavior, and traditional teaching-learning processes have not kept pace with these changes. As a consequence, new learning methodologies have emerged, especially Active Learning Methodologies (ALM), where the student is at the center of the teaching-learning process and no longer the teacher, who becomes the tutor. Courses Based on Active Learning Methodologies (CBALM) lack broad computational support, in particular a Learning Management System (LMS) that meets the specifics of the activities of these courses. The Medicine Programme of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) employs MAA and, since its inception in 2006, the Ubiquitous Computing Group of the Department of Computing (DC) of UFSCar has been developing projects in partnership with the Department of Medicine (DMed) of UFSCar to provide appropriate computational support for this course. These projects leaded to the development of the product Educational and Academic Management Software for Courses Based on Active Learning Methodologies (EAMS-CBALM), which is the result of a partnership between DC/UFSCar, DMed/UFSCar, Teaching and Research Institute of the Sírio-Libanês Hospital, and a software house. According to the 2019 New Media Consortium (NMC) report, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are considered emerging technologies to be adopted in Education from 2022 onwards. The main objective of this doctoral project was to investigate the use of AR and VR to support CBALM, in particular at the UFSCar Medicine Programme. For that reason, it was proposed an approach and a software architecture, which uses AR and VR, to guide in the development of computational support for CBALM. This architecture must be coupled to the educational institution's LMS, which in the case of the UFSCar Medicine Programme is the EAMS-CBALM. In order to evaluate the proposed approach and architecture, a prototype was developed for the medical care simulation, to be employed in the Simulation Station and Self-Directed Learning activities of the UFSCar Medicine Programme. For this prototype, were implemented a Virtual Patient to dialogue with the student, and a Virtual Assistant (VA), whose algorithm uses Natural Language Processing to intermediate this dialogue. The VA algorithm obtained and accuracy of 86.21%, slightly lower than 89.66% of the service QnA Maker, but higher than 81.55% of the Machine Learning algorithm.

More and more the society has been experiencing a developing process of awareness-raising through its environmental, social and even economic contexts, regarding the products and services used by the population. In this scenario, since the early nineties the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) makes efforts to achieve a self-sustainability and of its surrounding environment. However, despite of the existence of some actions, the role of the higher education system as a player for an effective environmental awareness remains slow. Thus, the concept of continuous improvement takes place, in order to guarantee the continuity of the activities undertaken by the heads of environmental management and sustainability issues at the universities, as well as to encourage an ever-evolving local. The application of this concept represents the main goal of this work, which was focused on the processes of generation and discharge of solid wastes from academic departments of the Exact and Technology Sciences Center (CCET) of UFSCar, at the São Carlos campus. The research is classified as a study of case, with applied nature, and descriptive character. Interviews and questionnaires were applied to the people responsible for generating and discharging solid wastes. The analysis of the obtained data was used to point out an initial scenario of solid wastes occasioned by the studied Academic Center. Furthermore, it was possible to provide an overview of the major features related to the producing sources and the management processes for these materials. Altogether, the identification of significant problematic aspects discussed here leads to need of training programs and new projects to promote new social-environmental believes and proper behavior inside the academic community, in order to make the university an example for environmental matters to its society.

The essential and nonessential heavy metals zinc (Zn) and chromium (Cr), respectively, are found in natural or cultivated areas as contaminants and can cause direct damage to vegetative propagation. A plant species Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber) is cultivated using the grafting technique and, provides the crop with characteristics such as heavy metal stress tolerance. In addition, this species shows that it is widely investigated in scientific reports on physiological effects caused by clinical factors, or that it qualifies as a 'plant-model' in investigative studies. We examined the hypothesis that heavy metals influence the grafting reestablishment in cucumber plants grown in the nutrient solution. From this hypothesis, our objective was to evaluate the reestablishing of the post-grafting plant from the essential and non-essential root availability of heavy metals via nutrient solution. We collected, weekly, data of linear plant growth dimensions and quantified chlorophyll and carotenoids. The controls adopted were used from different availability of Zn and Cr heavy metals in isolation and in combination, and control treatment of heavy metals. We conducted a initial test for methodological adjustments and understanding of plant responses and, subsequently, the main experiments with robust data collection, such as plant growth measurements, gas exchange and enzymatic analyzes that are used in the current scientific paper model. To the initial teste, we performed an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to verify the relationships among the factors studied and the responses. As the ANOVA assumptions were cut from the ShapiroWilk (normality) and Levene (homogeneity of variance) tests. Then, the data means were compared, for example, from the Tukey test. All tests were conducted considering the significance level of α=0.05. Our study can conclude that the grafted cucumber plants showed no post-grafting plant reestablishment even after the application of heavy metals. The plants differed in vegetative growth according to the applied metal concentrations and the control treatment, however this pattern was not observed in relation to chlorophylls and carotenoids, which may be an indicator of full post-grafting plant reestablishment. Thus, we accept the scientific hypothesis by conclude that the essential heavy metal, zinc, and the nonessential, chromium, influence the reestablishment of the graft. In general, we conclude that heavy metals influenced post-grafting plant growth, however the grafting technique can promote a better antioxidant defense system evidenced by the non-alteration of photosynthetic pigments. However, the application of Cr and high doses of Zn affected the plant growth and increased the enzymatic activity of the plants submitted to these treatments.

Esta tesis ha tenido por objetivo, inicialmente, realizar un estudio discursivo acerca de imaginarios de lengua y de cultura en materiales didácticos de portugués como lengua extranjera. A lo largo de la investigación, a partir del relevamiento de datos realizado en instituciones dedicadas a la enseñanza de portugués como lengua extranjera (PLE) en Buenos Aires que recién han sido sometidas a la producción de materiales propios, de nuestra propia experiencia en la producción de materiales para cursos de PLE en la Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) y de lecturas interdisciplinares asociadas al tema “enseñanza de portugués”, dos desplazamientos se han producido: un foco en el proceso de mediación editorial (SALGADO, 2016b) de los materiales destinados a la enseñanza de portugués como lengua extranjera, de manera a visibilizar su complejidad y coerciones de orden material y simbólica que se imponen en la linealización de los discursos sobre lengua y cultura; y un análisis de matrices discursivas vectorializadas en estos materiales, considerados, de estos modos, como mídiuns (DEBRAY, 1995; 2000), dispositivos históricos que, en la relación que mantienen con instituciones y comunidades productoras de discursos, construyen y estabilizan imaginarios de Brasil y de portugués brasileño. Establecemos como delimitación de la investigación el año de 2017 y materiales didácticos del Centro Cultural Brasil-Argentina (CCBA), de la Casa do Brasil, del Centro Universitario de Idiomas (CUI) y del Laboratorio de Idiomas de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), cuatro instituciones de tradición en la enseñanza de PLE en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, además de las unidades didácticas digitales producidas para hispanohablantes disponibles en el Portal do Professor de Português Língua Estrangeira (PPPLE), también reunidas en este periodo de tiempo. Para suplir los engranajes institucionales directamente implicados en su producción y circulación, hemos buscado un corpus complementar producido a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas presencialmente en 2017 con coordinadores y directores de las instituciones que produjeron parte de los materiales. Esta investigación de la relación entre institucionalidades y mídiuns en la enseñanza de portugués brasileño nos ha llevado a investigar en qué medida la noción de comunidad discursiva (BEACCO, 1992), en la relación que establece con conceptos asociados de modo amplio a la identidad, como comunidad de habla (VANIN, 2009; BAGNO, 2017), posicionamiento y ethos discursivo (MAINGUENEAU, 2008a; 2008b; 2008c; 2008d; 2014 [2005]) pueden contribuir con el análisis de aspectos de la pluralidad constitutiva de lo que se entienda por “lengua” y “cultura” en estos materiales. Este estudio, por ello, es sobretodo cualitativo, documental y sincrónico, y propone una reflexión acerca de la relación del material lingüístico con el extralingüístico ocasionada por los medios y los materiales en los que se inscribe, con foco en las prácticas de textualización y en los indicios de la heterogeneidad constitutiva de dispositivos los cuales se supone, tradicionalmente, ser representativos de una identidad “consensuada” de lengua y de país.

Medicines distribution planning in Brazil involves decisions of logistics network configuration, related to the location of distribution centers (DCs) and product flow among facilities. Medicines distribution planning in Brazil faces some challenges, due to medicines have many different characteristics, concerning to physical attributes (weight and volume), demand patterns and high value-added of the products. Other relevant issue is the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS). This tax depends on the value-added of the products and can significantly affect the distribution network planning. The ICMS is a non-cumulative tax, with rates that vary among states and results in a differentiated tax structure along the supply chain. In this work, we proposed an optimization model to support decisions of DCs location and the customer demand allocation to these DCs. We considered transportation costs, products of different values, interstate and intrastate rates and the matching credit (a tax benefit) offered by some Brazilian States. We used real data from a previous study and analyzed the solutions model to understand the relationships between logistics costs and taxation costs for each region/state. The allocation of lower value-added products depends more on logistics costs, while the allocation of higher value-added products is determine by the tax costs. However, a detailed assessment of the relationship between costs demystifies the advantage of tax benefits, especially for products where unit transport costs are higher than ICMS unit costs.

ntroduction: Prostate cancer (PC) is the third most common cancer in the general population, and the second most frequent among men from all over the world. Radical prostatectomy (RP) stands out as a therapeutic option for the localized PC. The main disadvantages of performing the surgery are the occurrence of urinary incontinence (UI) and sexual dysfunction (SD), which significantly impacts the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients. Objective: To compare the HRQOL of Spanish and Brazilian men submitted to RP. Method: Multicentric, quantitative, descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional study conducted in Asturias (Spain) and Minas Gerais (Brazil). This study included patients undergoing RP after the removal of the bladder catheter and less than 24 months postoperatively. Data collection occurred through a socio-demographic, clinical and surgical characterization instrument, as well as two QOL instruments validated in Spain and Brazil, the World Health Organization Quality Life-Bref (WHOQOL-Bref) and the Expanded Prostate Cancer Composite Index (EPIC). Results: 160 prostatectomized Spanish and 165 Brazilians were evaluated. Among the participants in Spain, the averages of the scores of the general scale and of each WHOQOL-brief domain were: general (69.9), physical (80.0), psychological (79.2), social relations (63.1) and environment (88.5). In Brazil, the following averages were found: general (73.6), physical (78.0), psychological (82.2), social relations (68.0) and environment (81.1). In relation to the EPIC domains, the average values of the participants in Spain and Brazil were respectively: urinary (83.6 and 82.0), intestinal (97.0 and 98.7), sexual (31.9 and 38.6) and hormonal (90.9 and 94.5). In Spain, the aspects that most contributed to a better assessment of QOL were financial resources, access to information and opportunities for leisure activity. In Brazil, the factors that most favor a better perception of QOL by the participants were the absence of frequent feelings of bad mood, anxiety and depression, as well as a demonstration of resignation in relation to the decline in sexual function. Conclusions: In this study a better perception of HRQOL was found among Brazilian prostatectomized patients than among the Spanish.

Aim: To assess the teaching process based on simulations as an educational strategy for the measures of prevention and control infections related to health assistance (IRAS). Method: The study was carried out in two stages: 1st Stage is a methodological study for the development and validation of content from two simulated clinical scenarios. The content analysis was carried out by the content validity index (CVI) in regards to the range, clarity and pertinence. The scenarios were forwarded through the Google forms® app link to simulation and IRAS specialists. 2nd Stage was a semi-experimental and cross-sectional study aimed at measuring the simulation results (knowledge, satisfaction, self-confidence), the simulation design, the educational practice and the debriefing experience processes. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistic and the Generalized Estimating Equation Model-GEE. The study was carried out by nursing graduates of the 5th through the 9th terms of the Federal University of São João Del-rei - Centro-oeste campus. The data collection took place in two occasions: Day 1 - pre-testing (knowledge assessment test) and expositional class with dialogue; Day 2 - Participation in two clinical simulations and fulfilment of the Scale of Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning (SSSL), of the Simulation Design Scale (SDS), of the Educational Practices Questionnaire (EPQ), and of the Debriefing Experience Scale (DES) and post-testing. Results: 1st Stage: The scenarios were developed based on the conceptual components of the National League for Nursing Jeffries Simulation Theory and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and a Learning Standards of Best Practices: Simulation. There were 10 experts in the validation process, and the CVI was ≥ 80%. 2nd Stage: There were 44 students and 28 (63,65) were in intermediate graduation (5th through the 7th terms), while 28 (63,6%) students actively participated in the scenario and 23 (52,3%) students had previous knowledge with simulations. There was no statistical difference in the number of correct answers in knowledge assessment instrument results in the pre-testing and post-testing. The SSSL showed an average of 4,5±0,3the average results of the Satisfaction domain were superior to the average results of the Self-confidence domain. The SDS showed an average of 4,7±0,2. The SDS showed an average of 4,7±0,2 where the items scoring the lowest were the ones that assessed realism. The SDS items that scored the least were the ones that assessed realism. The EPQ showed an average of 4,7+0,2. The DES showed an average of 4,8+0,2The instrument reliability was high (>0,81%).The learners' average score in all the instruments were higher for the ones who had previously participated of a simulation, there was no difference in their average score regarding their participation condition (active or observer) and the final graduation period students (8th and 9th terms) scored higher in average for the DES. Conclusion: Simulation-based teaching is an appropriate educational strategy for teaching IRAS prevention and control measures to nursing undergraduates.

This research was carried out through the technique of Single Case Study in a school in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Through a mixed approach, from the perspective of Discursive Textual Analysis and Textual Statistical Analysis, carried out with the aid of NVivo (2017) and IRAMUTEQ (2014) softwares, we sought to verify if the Collective Pedagogical Work Classes (CPWCs) provide (or not) elements for inclusive classes in Natural Science and Mathematics for students with special educational needs (SEN). In this same context, it was evidenced that the demands arising from DE regarding the subjects to be treated in CPWCs generate negative impacts in relation to the school's articularities, as well as in the continuing education of teachers, in a true implementation of a government policy. In addition, it was possible to show that the lack of public resources for the payment of daily fees to DE technicians, to provide training for teachers and Pedagogical Coordinating Teachers (PCTs) in the researched school, has negative impacts in relation to teacher education, making inclusion not fully possible for students with SEN. According to the concept of SEN adopted in this work, the study presented that although it is only a snippet of what happens in the school throughout the year, the perspective for inclusive classes in Natural Sciences and Mathematics for students with SEN is poor. The factors that preclude the mentioned perspectives show, among other elements, the need for changes in the spatial accessibility structures and the comprehension about what students with SEN are, commonly treated as if they were target of Special Education. Moreover, it was possible to infer that the non-collective construction of the school's Political Pedagogical Project (PPP) has implications that do not corroborate the inclusion of students with SEN. Likewise, the large number of students in each class, the attitudinal barriers brought by some teachers, and the mismanagement of financial resources available to the school make the process of inclusion for students with SEN in nature science and mathematics classes prone to failure.

This doctoral dissertation was written in the form of manuscripts for publication and it is composed by a summary of the dissertation with less technical language, a theoretical essay and three experiments. In the essay, a review of behavior-analytic perspectives on prejudice was carried out and then, a critical analysis, pointing research questions with the aim of demonstrating the field’s contributions as well as highlighting paths for studying it. In the three experiments, children aged from 8 to 10, who related faces of White individuals with a positive symbol and/or faces of Black individuals with a negative symbol were recruited and trained to relate, indirectly, Black faces with the positive symbol, using the matching-to-sample procedure on Studies 1 and 2 and a respondent-type training procedure on Study 3. The aims were: to evaluate the formation and maintenance of equivalence classes on Study 1; to check the effectiveness of different training and testing parameters (mixed training of baseline relations, symmetry tests after training each baseline relation, and feedback reduction training before testing for equivalence) on the formation and maintenance of equivalence classes between a positive symbol and faces of Black people on Study 2; and to evaluate the effectiveness of a respondent-type training procedure on the formation of equivalence classes between a positive symbol and faces of Black individuals. In Study 1, 10 of 12 participants recruited formed the classes, that is, start relating the Black faces with the positive symbol after training. These results were maintained for 50 to 75% of participants six weeks after being initially tested for equivalence. Additionally, the number of selections of Black faces given the negative symbol was greatly reduced, from 61 times on pretest to four on posttest. On Study 2, 33 of 46 participants recruited formed the classes. From these, 75 to 81% participants maintained at least one of the equivalence relations on the maintenance test. More participants: a) formed the classes when the symmetry tests were used, and b) maintained those performances when the feedback reduction training was employed. Only six participants from the 12 recruited on Study 3 formed the classes after being exposed to a respondent-type training procedure. Taking into account the results from the three experiments, we suggest the use of all three parameters abovementioned with the matching-to-sample procedure for better results of equivalence class formation and maintenance. Finally, we highlight the scientific and social relevance of these studies and the possibilities of using these findings on future applications.

Introduction: The necessity of increasing resources and care support networks to attend the elderly population becomes emergent every year, due to the accelerated growth of the elderly in Brazil. Chronical diseases, functional limitations, increased longevity and the failure of families to offer appropriate support are present in population ageing. At some point in the old age, the necessity of daily care is real. Family is the first to offer this care, as well as some community spaces that give the support and care based on public policy, among which the Long-Term Care Institutions for Elders (ILPI) and the Senior Day Care Centers (CDI). Objective: Verify the comprehension of the managers of the ILPI that also have CDI in two towns (Araraquara and São Carlos) of the state of São Paulo, about the typology of these services. Methodology: This research is exploratory, descriptive and qualitative and quantitive study. It was carried out in the ILPI of São Carlos and Araraquara. Part of the data were collected on a database of the research group involved, followed by the application of a semi structured questionnaire with the managers of the ILPI that also have CDI services. A simple statistical analysis, descriptive, by means of frequency and percentage, as well as the construction of categorical variables through the content analysis was applied as well as the ethical care. Results: There are 26 ILPI, 21 private and 5 philanthropic. They have 833 vacancies, of which 712 are occupied, mostly by women (68%). The routine is determined by activities in the area of feeding, personal care and medication control. Among the 26 ILPI, 16 offered CDI services. Their managers are 11 women and 5 men, 44 years old on average and connected to the ILPI for 2.6 years. Of these, 11 have higher education with a predominance of nursing degrees (5) and business administration (4). Four managers pointed out that the services should have distinct planning, even though the 16 ILPI use the same structure, routine and staff. Conclusion: The managers' vision about the typology of the services seems to be mistaken, performing it without specific technical standards.
