The work sought to understand how the behavior of princesses idealized by Walt Disney Animations Studios influences children from 3 to 5 years of age, in preschool. Movies were analyzed from the naive and exemplary housewife in search of the prince charming, Snow White, from 1938, to the courageous Moana, from 2016. It was found that the macho ideology in Walt Disney films was widely disseminated by both male and female characters, in the sense of reinforcing the need for women to need to be accepted by a man, molding themselves to male expectations. However, it was observed that children today are more enchanted by princesses who have control over their own lives, who have dreams and goals – the so-called “contemporary princesses”. The study enabled a reflection on how the new representations of female characters can change the children-viewers' ideals and convictions, reflecting on the transformations in the role of women over the years and teaching that there are other options for personal satisfaction besides if you find a prince charming.

The Theory of Biological Evolution is currently the theory that guides the areas of biological sciences. Contradictorily, it is known that its teaching is flawed in basic education. Studies such as Cicillini (1993), Tidon e Lewontin (2004), Tidon e Vieira (2009), Oleques (2014) e Selles (2016); they discuss the difficulties in teaching due to the complexity of the topic, the lack of teacher preparation, or the option for not addressing the topic, for example, due to personal opinions. In another sense, we seek to understand what underlies educational policies, how this is given in didactic materials, and how much it affects teaching practice aimed at teaching evolution. With this, we discuss whether advances are presented in the recent education guideline, the Common National Curricular Base (BNCC) of 2018. The focus was given to teaching evolution for the final years of Elementary School. We conducted a historical contextualization of science teaching in Brazil and its main pedagogical trends, and analyzed textbooks prior to the BNCC and books that implement its changes, with analyzes supported by critical pedagogy. Conducting a qualitative research, of documentary type. In which the objective is aimed at understanding:: how is the teaching of the theme of biological evolution characterized in the science books most adopted in Brazil, before and after the implementation of the Common National Curricular Base?. Since, according to the 2nd article of Decree no. 9009, of July 18, 2017, the character of the National Textbook Plan (PNLD) of 2020 is to make the implementation of the changes established by the BNCC effective. Two collections of science textbooks were analyzed, the two most distributed according to the 2017 PNLD being chosen. The research made it possible to understand what guided the formulation of the BNCC, and to see that the advances found were few or null when comparing the collections of PNLD 2017 and PNLD 2020 books. Showing that biological evolution continues as an accessory theme, focused on content and memorization; besides similarities with the structuring of the theme in the same way as books from 1930.

This thesis is aimed at understanding the determinations that structure school curricula and the contributions of Critical Theory to the development of an emancipatory education. Throughout this research, a proposal was identified to create a Historical-psychoanalytic Philosophy with the perspective to support the conception of emancipation, being the object of this study. Based on the foundations of Critical Theory, Marx and Freud, it was possible to understand the multiple determinations that condition the individual and investigate the causes of man's regression to barbarism. Through the proximity between historical-dialectic materialism and psychoanalysis, driven by the Frankfurtians, the theoretical field ‒ of intervention ‒ of the philosophy of praxis was expanded, specifically with the analysis of the tensional relationship of the drives governed by the principle of pleasure, confronted by the principle of reality that were brought to the scene of the educational debate. These investigations, supra and intra-individual, in regard to the human condition, completed Marxism and enabled the Freudian aspiration to create a science capable of understanding the psycho-political symptoms, whose causes propagate psychopathological states and imprison a growing number of individuals in the domains of Thanatos. According to the present scenario and with the aim of promoting an emancipatory education, the Philosophy in Acts Project is presented in this research as a proposal for an educational product. The implication of this proposal is to understand that art, as a product of imagination and drives, allows man to fantasize and to be free.

This is a narrative study, that I perform with three former students from the Application College where I work as a Mathematics teacher. It is a text shaped from the perspective of Narrative Research (CLANDININ & CONNELLY) and, as such, an investigation that elects the experience as an object of study, in particular, the experiences of the aforementioned young learners with Mathematics throughout their educational background, as well as mine as a teacher and researcher who experiences her own study. It is aimed at knowing and understanding, narratively, the trajectories of these experiences and, thus, at deepening the ways of attributing meaning to them. For the construction of the texts, I chose to request the participants to write autobiographical narratives and to conduct individual narrative interviews. Thus, we share beautiful and thought-provoking stories that, in addition to confirming the great formative potential of narratives in the educational context, also line up for: the overvaluing of Mathematics as a school subject; the criticism to exams as instruments of evaluation; the importance of the teacher figure in the learning process; the longing for mathematical learning to be available to everyone; the perception that the educational process in Mathematics is related to negative feelings; the importance of the affective dimension in the process of teaching and learning Mathematics, among other aspects. But, far beyond any gaps in these young learners’ narratives, it is important to highlight that, from the accumulation of the unique experiences, each story is especially valuable when we look at them and deepen in their signs and links, not only in what concerns the mathematical school aspect, but in so many other dimensions important to human life. To comprehend the narrative nature of the texts produced with the participants, this study was composed by permeating the narrated experiences with the ones I had during the process of researching, deepening and writing, sometimes as a Mathematics teacher, sometimes as a researcher, always in an unfinished position, in search for better tones. The following social actors are also part of the composition process: renowned authors who ground this narrative endeavor; supporting characters who participate in a daily, ordinary, and essential way in the narrated stories; poets, musicians, writers, as well as the readers who allow themselves to be affected and transformed by the stories presented. Conclusively, our study indicates that: students' narratives about their experiences with the process of teaching, learning, and assessment of Mathematics are potentially formative because they reveal marks about this process, signalize to the redirection of pedagogical practices, problematize teaching and assessment strategies, provoke reflections and questions about the purposes and significations of Mathematics taught in schools, point to the need to restructure Mathematics teacher education courses and emphasize that, beyond the cognitive dimension, the educational process is only effective if aligned with the affective and formative needs of the learners. Lastly, in dealing with the permanent discovery and constitution of the narrative person/researcher I have been, I have experienced the challenge and boldness of exposing myself along these lines, having as my first motivation my experiences as a Mathematics teacher of young learners, whose voices gained permanent echo status in me.

This research aims to investigate the conceptions that point to the understanding of teachers who work in an institution of Integral Education and who are involved in context training on dialogicity in the educational process. It is a participant research and qualitative and interpretive nature. We are based on a theoretical framework on Continuing Training and Context Training, in the current legislation: LDB 9394/96, ECA, the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the National Curriculum Guidelines for teacher training (DCNFP - Res. 02/2015). This proposal is in agreement with Freire (2005) and, defined in this research for Integral Education, as a dialectical and problematizing process, because the dialogical perspective allows us to reflect, evaluate, program, investigate and transform specificities of human beings in and with the world. The dialogue, according to Freire (2005) is a method of building emancipatory socio-cultural processes in search of a more humanized world and for Bohm (2005), is a network of coexistence. The study consisted of a Cycle of six Continuous Training Meetings, during the months of October to December 2018, in a municipal school in the interior of São Paulo. Ten teachers and the director were subjects of the research and, working with the researcher at HTPC - Collective Pedagogical Work Schedule. The data were grouped into three categories, entitled thematic axes: 1. Communication and dialogue; 2. Training and professional development and 3. Reflexive practice. We are guided through the Thematic Axes, built and inspired by Bardin (1977), on the categorizations of content analysis, to analyze our research. In general, the data analyzed allowed us to conclude that the understandings attributed by teachers to context training meetings in htpcs are related to a set of factors such as: peer dialogue, understanding of the path of teacher and professional development, reflection of pedagogical practices present in the context of Integral Education in relation to pedagogical discussions and what arises from the new conversational flow. According to the data, the actions are reflective in htpcs, because a process of study of daily life, reflection, observation and discussion about practice provides for new ways to act and print their knowledge throughout the teaching career.

This dissertation, entitled "Philosophy Teaching and Bullying: what is between the Curriculum and the classes", presents a study conducted in a state public school in Ribeirão Preto, city in the State of São Paulo. The aim of this work was to investigate how theoretical subsidy present in the curriculum of philosophy teaching can help to fight bullying practices in the school environment. The student edification, through the Philosophy state curriculum, needs to be an instance of the proposition of reflection situations and the problematization of the challenges of daily school life. The methodology used comprised a bibliographical study of works and critiques about the curriculum problematic, as well as the philosophical foundation through thought of Critical Theory, especially by of the Theodor Adorno contribution. The method of approach in school was given by proposing an intervention project with students who were bullied as well as the other students of the school, through workshops and philosophical experiences.

This research aims to discuss the importance of historical heritage as an object of resistance in the midst of the process of space transformation, having as empirical study the Chapel of the Lord Bom Jesus do Bonfim - Chapel of John of Camargo, in the city of Sorocaba, which In its 116 years of existence, it has resisted as strong urban transformations through its historicity, religiosity and meanings present in the place. To this end, try to understand the concept of historical heritage, a history of training of the Chapel and the importance of this space at both the cultural and political level as it acts as a core of resistance of black culture. The history of the Chapel permeates the very life course of the Chapel's creator, João de Camargo, as well as the Chapel's own occupation over time and the city's entire spatial history and its transformations. From the data collection and literature review, it is understood that the chapel acts as an important nucleus of resistance ahead in the transformations of space, constituting a place of encounter with the divine and the sacred, which resists time and exhibitions in space so as to transcend beyond mere building material, offer devotees and frequent resources of belief and faith. This monument also enters the history, life and daily life of Sorocaba, being of paramount importance its preservation and longevity.

We report a systematic study on the structural, morphological and optical properties of Er-doped ZnO thin films grown by Spray Pyrolysis. The films were deposited on glass substrates between 230ºC - 300ºC, using as precursors zinc acetate and erbium chloride in aqueous solution. The effects of growth parameters on erbium optical properties considered the influence of film thickness, the molarity used in the precursor solution and the co-doping with Eu and Mn at different concentrations. The characterization techniques employed to investigate the quality of the films were X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), in which Er, Mn and Eu doped films were analyzed. XRD results indicated that all films are polycrystalline, with wurtzite structure and preferential growth direction on c-axis (002), with no secondary phases. SEM images generally showed that the surfaces have some more porous and cracked regions in the samples synthesized with higher molarity precursor solution, which also had lower crystalline quality. Optical absorbance and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) techniques provided data on the influence of different growth parameters on the optical properties of the material. With the first one, Er+3 absorptions related to ground state transitions I(15/2) and levels F(7/2), H(11/2), S(3/2), F(9/2), I(11/2) and I(13/2) were identified. PL showed infrared emissions corresponding to transitions between excited states and the transition from the ground state to the first excited state, at ≈1.53µm. It was possible to identify corresponding emissions between stark levels, generated by the level break due to the effect of the lattice crystalline field. These emissions were less significant for the sample grown with lower molarity precursor solution, indicating that the larger organization of its structure leads to a lower field effect around the Er3+ ions. Co-doping decreased erbium emission intensity, with larger studies of this influence remaining as future perspectives.

Dans la métaphysique du beau, Schopenhauer rend possible un nouveau regard sur la réalité, par le concept de génie. Si dans les deux premiers livres du Monde, nous avons l'exposition sur la Représentation et la Volonté, dans certaines limites de la connaissance humaine, dans le troisième livre de l'œuvre, le monde commence à se défaire à travers de la pure contemplation. Le corps, qui occupait déjà une place centrale dans l’étude par analogie de la chose en soi, la Volonté, jouera également un rôle de premier plan dans les débats sur le génie. Le génie est la capacité de se libérer pendant une courte période des influences du corps (volonté) et de produire une représentation en dehors du principe de raison suffisante. Cependant, ce processus ne peut se produire par une conformation corporelle diferente du génie, il a un intellect spécial, capable de lui permettre ce genre de représentation. En d'autres termes, le même organisme qui doit faire disparaître ses influences doit également fournir les conditions de son propre refus. Or cela nous met face à une contradiction dans la métaphysique du beau: comment le corps peut-il occuper ce double rôle? En fait, nous observons qu’une anomalie crée une exception, ce qui ne nous conduit pas à un état pathologique mais extraordinaire. L'articulation entre le concept d'absurde, l'antinomie de la connaissance et la jouissance de l'œuvre d'art chez l'être humain commun fournit la clé pour lire la contradiction autour des fondements du génie.

Although the electric guitar has been more and more an investigation object by the academy, there are still important conclusions missing regarding its dynamic characteristics. To offer a contribution over this panorama, a modal analysis was performed having a beam and a Squier by Fender Stratocaster 50 th Anniversary guitar as objects. Altogether with experimental bench tests, analytical and modeling strategies were employed to the AISI 1020 steel beam, while the musical instrument had its dynamics described only with the aid of empirical inputs. For the tests, impacts of unknown force were deployed on two locations of both objects, that were instrumented with four ADXL 335 accelerometers each and connected to a National Instruments cDAQ-9178 chassis equipped with a NI-9201 voltage modulus for the data acquisition. An Arduino UNO board was used as voltage source for the sensors. After data processing via MATLAB, the natural frequencies of 7.34, 65.43 and 107.35 Hz, respectively for the 1 st , 3 rd and 4 th vibrational modes of the beam and 56.08, 140.65, 185.50 and 210.90 Hz for the guitar’s 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th modes were obtained. An Output-only modal analysis (OOMA) Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD) algorithm was performed for the beam and the guitar, resulting in correct shapes for the 1 st , 3 rd and 4 th beam modes and the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd guitar modes. It was veriﬁed that poor sensor positioning and implementation of the experiment hindered some of the result reached. In general, it was concluded that the FDD technique must be aligned to other excitation methods in order to fully work, while natural frequencies can be accessed through simpler methods.

In this work, a study of the Anderson model is done for the case of a quantum dot between two electron gases, single-electron transistor (SET), where a Coulombian repulsion term was added at the orbitals that are directly coupled to the quantum dot. The resulting model was treated by the Numerical Renormalization Group technique. The thermodynamic properties of the quantum dot were studied and a preliminary study of the conductance in the linear response regime as a function of the temperature was done. The change in the model Hamiltonian made it necessary to compute manually the initial matrices entering the Numerical Renormalization Group program. In general, the two conduction bands, corresponding to the electric contacts, can be manipulated so that one of them ends decoupled from the quantum dot. With the new term added, this decoupling is impossible, being necessary to reformulate how the conductance is computed. The contribution of the quantum dot to some thermodynamic properties was calculated and studied, with emphasis on the behavior of the Kondo temperature. For the study of the conductance, it was proposed a calculation method that proved very expensive computationally, preventing us to generate data for the case of coupled bands during the time of the Master of Science. However, an analysis of the addition of the Coulombian repulsion in the case of uncoupled bands was done.

This work aims at describing the relations between predicative nouns and their arguments, establishing their frequency while seeking syntactic and semantic correlations with such numbers. In order to describe predicate and argument sequences observed in a Brazilian Portuguese newspaper corpus, we employ the transformational theory used in Lexicon-Grammar. This theory apprehends different syntactic manifestations as transformations departing from a kernel sentence, i.e., in Portuguese, a sentence containing a single predicate and its arguments in SVO order. Noun predicates kernel sentences include auxiliary verbs "have", "give" or "do" immediately prior to the predicative element; those are named support verbs. Also, we attribute semantic roles to the identified arguments. The methodology used to identify noun predicates had as its main element the possibility of reducing a certain sequence to kernel sentences through introspective and empirical means. Hence, we define the transformations of noun predicates occurring along the corpus, analyzing predicate, arguments and support verb sequences, which we call "strings". Subsequently, we established the frequency of strings and correlated them to kernel sentences and the semantic roles identified. The results show that: 1- predicative nouns exhibit some general manifestation patterns, emerging more commonly as noun groups; 2- some of their transformations tend to lead into other transformations; 3- the kernel sentence form, including the elementary support verb, determines or bears relevance to some transformations; 4- the distribution of semantic roles presents an isomorphism with kernel sentences, but bear little correlation with transformations.

The research question that guided this doctoral work was: What concepts and strategies are used in the routine of a classroom with 5 year old children during the development of these children's voluntary care? The general objective was to identify and analyze the processes of development or not of voluntary care, based on the concepts and strategies worked in the routine of a classroom with children of 5 years old. The methodology was subsidized by the Historical-Cultural Theory, based on the method of dialectical historical materialism. The instruments used were field diaries, official college documents, observation protocol, video camera and voice recorder. Regarding the research phases, there were four: introductory, field, analytical and conclusive. The first contemplated the submission and permission to conduct the research to the UFSCar Ethics Committee, the second consisted of preparatory observation and participant observation in the school class, the third in the study of the information produced with the children, choice of analysis criteria, systematization the guidelines for the analysis and selection of the didactic sequence based on the type of research, the qualitative and, finally, the last phase for the interpretation of information and analysis approaches. The unit of analysis was configured in the possibilities of developing voluntary care present in activities developed by the teacher of a 5-year-old child in the stage of Early Childhood Education. The results indicated that five strategies used by the teacher drew the attention of children in teaching situations, they were: guide questions; technology, practical actions, role play and written record added to the pictorial. Regarding the concepts worked on, we saw that the theme referred to the basic traffic laws associated with everyday concepts. When we relate these two elements [strategies and concepts] in the routine of a classroom with 5 year old children to the development processes of voluntary care, we identify that there was success in the way of provoking it. However, the pedagogical processes, in the way they were organized and proposed to children, presented limitations regarding the stability of concentration and the distribution of attention, fundamental characteristics for the development of voluntary care. The research evidenced, therefore, that the deepening of the quality of thought and language in human beings depends on the type of voluntary attention developed during the experiences in social relationships: the more intentionally mediated, the more it becomes qualified; the greater the awareness and volitiveness in voluntary care processes at school, the more chances of development and mastery of human conduct. So, it is possible to develop activities in Early Childhood Education that aim to develop the voluntary care of children aged 5 years

Brazilian music is a formidable mixture of rhythms and their variations, rhythms that we can play in a variety of instruments and forms, we often synthesize the rhythm of one or more instruments in just one accompanied instrument. When I decided to become a pianist, and also, to play Brazilian music, specifically speaking of Samba and Bossa Nova, I faced the challenge of putting all these instruments together. However, during my musical education process I have been in contact with some manuals that helped me to solve some problems in this regard. In this work, we compared these manuals, also addressing their content and specific aspects of them, giving the reader safe sources for researching these rhythms.

In this work, two series of phosphine complexes containing acylthiourea ligands were synthesized, characterizatied and evaluatied of the cytotoxic activities. The first series of compounds was composed of complexes with the general formula [RuLn (bipy) (P-P)] PF6, where Ln = N ', N'-dimethyl-N-benzoyl thiourea (L1), N', N'-dimethyl-N-thiophenyl thiourea (L2) or N ', N'-dimethyl-N-furoyl thiourea (L3); bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine and P-P: 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphine) ethane (dppe) or 1,4-bis (diphenylphosphine) butane (dppb) and the second series of complexes with the formula [MLn(dppe)]BF4, where M = NiII, PdII or PtII. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (31P{1H}, 1H and 13C{1H}, COSY, HMBC and HSQC), cyclic voltammetry and X-ray diffraction. The cytotoxic activity of the complexes against breast (MDA-MB-231 (tumor); MCF-7 (tumor); MCF-10A (non-tumor)) and lung (A549 (tumor); MRC-5 (non-tumor)) tumor and non tumor cell lines was performed by MTT assay. The first series of complexes showed activity and selectivity for all tumor lines evaluated, while the second series of complexes showed better results in breast tumor cell lines. The complexes of series 1 (3 and 6) and 2 (8, 10 and 12) when evaluated in the breast tumor line (MDA-MB-231) inhibited colony formation, altered morphology and inhibited cell migration from the Wound Healing assay. Still in the same breast tumor lineage, they led to an accumulation of cells in Sub-G1 phase on cell cycle analysis. The compounds 3 and 6 induced cell death by apoptosis. All complexes shown weak reversible interactions via minor groove of CT-DNA and the series 1 complexes interacted with the HSA protein.

In this Ph.D. thesis, we investigate two topics in Differential Geometry. The first topic refers to the study of pseudo-parallel submanifolds in the ambient spaces SnxR and HnxR. We complete the partial classification given by F. Lin and B. Yang. As a consequence, we classify minimal and constant mean curvature pseudo-parallel hypersurfaces. We also prove a characterization of pseudo-parallel surfaces in SnxR and HnxR, for n ≥ 4, and the non-existence of pseudo-parallel surfaces with non-vanishing normal curvature, when n=3. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the study of constant anisotropic mean curvature surfaces in R3. We obtain a Bernstein-type Theorem for multigraphs with constant anisotropic mean curvature, an anisotropic version of a theorem proved by D. Hoffman, R. Osserman and R. Schoen, in 1982. As a consequence, we prove that complete surfaces with non-zero constant anisotropic mean curvature and whose Gaussian curvature does not change sign are either the Wulff shape or cylinders. We prove uniform height estimates for vertical graphs with non-zero constant anisotropic mean curvature and planar boundary, a generalization of the theorem proved by W. Meeks, in 1988, and we obtain uniform height estimates for compact embedded surfaces with non-zero constant anisotropic mean curvature and planar boundary, as a corollary. We also prove, under certain symmetry hypothesis on the anisotropy function, the non-existence of properly embedded surfaces in R3 with non-zero constant anisotropic mean curvature and with just one end.

These compounds have inspired the synthesis of several of their analogs such as the diarylpentadienones. These synthetic analogs possess equal or better potential compared to their lead compounds. As part of the ongoing efforts in our laboratory to enlarge the diarylpentadienones library, we synthesized some monoarylidenes and diarylpentadienones (compounds 2, 4, 5, 6) and biotransformed them and some others obtained from the previous works in our laboratory (compounds 7, 8 and 9) using Penicillium brasilianum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to modify them and enlarge their library. In our finding, the resting cells of P. brasilianum reduced monoarylidene 2 to 10 and further oxidized it to 11 in a Baeyer-Villiger-like manner. However, no biotransformation product was detected when diarylpentadinones 4, 5, 7 and 8 were fed into the fungi. Also, baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reduced 9 to 10 and 11 in a regioselective manner. Further investigation into why P. brasilianum was not able to reduce and/or oxidized diarylpentadienones used must be carried out.

The search for teaching strategies that provide more learning and participation from the Special Education Target Audience (SETA) in the learning context is a challenge for teachers and schools. Among these possibilities, this research is based on Peer Tutoring (PT) where the strategy involves both academic performance and intersocial relationships, capable of meeting diversity, finding on the tutor student a teaching instrument, which interacts with a classmate, the tutored one. Based on a qualitative approach this research has essential enforcement and when it comes to the procedure, field research. The commonplace goal was to elaborate, develop and evaluate a PT program on Intellectual Disability (ID) around the classroom of an elementary school – late graduation grades and specific goals, analyze and evaluate the results of this strategy for the participation by the ID student, on tutor and tutored relationship, on the expectations from tutors and teachers involved in the tutorial action and its impressions, understandings and feelings from it after the attendance of the involved ones. The study took part at a state public school located in a small town from the countryside of São Paulo State. Engaged in this study an ID student, three tutor students, a Portuguese Language and a Math teachers. The data collection procedure had five primaries observations sessions plus thirty others continuous observations sessions, registered in notes fields, eight tutoring meetings that took place during the program and six starting as six concluding interviews with all participants. In the data analysis was adopted the technique of Content Analysis with ten established categories. The results showed that, when organized and integrated into the daily classroom dynamics, the PT strategy contributed to the inclusion of the ID student, leveling the interactions involving the peers and teachers and his responsiveness to the proposed activities, resulting in an increased participation of the classroom environment. The results presented three topics that deserve better elaboration for the maintenance of the PT strategy: 1) the amount of selected and trained tutors must attend the minimal number necessary to avoid making them overloaded; 2) is necessary to elaborate strategies to decrease the frequency of intervention due to the dependence that the tutee establishes; 3) the affinity from the tutor to the tutored, same should be considered to reach the teacher who will carry out the strategy. The intention with this research is to describe the process of implementing a strategy to meet the diversity and contribute to the practice from the teachers, contributing to the changeover of the paradigm which sets the teacher as the only one responsible to the learning and development of the SETA student. It is a conversion of perspective when establishing that the students themselves may assist the teacher in mediating academic and social skills in class. Likewise, there is an effort to contribute theoretically and practically to the development of PT in the Brazilian educational condition.

The search for alternative sources of energy is a recurring theme in research due to the growth of world energy demand. The development of energy harvesting techniques and devices is required. This work focused on studying two energy energy harvesting devices applied on pavemented roads. Speciﬁcally, it was focused on studying one device based on hydraulic elements and the other based on electromechanical elements, of completely different natures. For these were developed their mathematical and computational modeling (in the software MATLAB/SIMULINK) in order to collect results that would allow to investigate and compare their energy potentials. It was concluded that the electromechanical road pavement energy harvesting device has higher energy potential, through the analysis of the simulation results of the computational models.

The University Publishers use the peer review method to analyze and evaluate the books that will be released. This method is essential for the publishing quality, however there are challenges on the identification and selection of the peers, due to the possible bias and subjectivity of the review. The objective of this research is to develop and apply a method to identify and select researchers, to work as peers for the University Publishers. The action research method was used, and the case study unit was EdUFSCar (Publisher for the Federal University of São Carlos). Bibliometrics were used as a technique of information analysis, and the software VantagePoint for the data processing and analysis of the information acquired from the Lattes Platform, including the professors’ scientific papers. The professors were identified through the Sucupira Platform, and work in Postgraduate programs (Masters/Doctorate) acknowledged by CAPES. The obtained results include the development and application of a peer identification and selection systematic, through a set of automated activities. From the discussion of the obtained results, it is concluded that the proposed and applied systematic contributed to a more agile information gathering to identify and select peers, reducing partiality and response time.
