This master research, characterized as an action research (TRIPP, 2005), was developed in conjunction with the project “Roda de Samba na Escola”, in a Public State School of the Integral Education Program of the Initial Years, in the state of São Paulo. The objective of this research was make an investigation about the educational processes developed within the samba circle (“Roda de Samba” – RDS – in Portuguese), which took place in the school playgrounds. The group of students surveyed was chosen according to their own interests, with an authorization from their parents or legal guardians and also with the authorization of the school. Before the RDS, interviews were conducted with a group of 43 students to ask their motivation and their previous experiences with samba. The data collection was effected in eight samba circles, divided into: “RDS Aprendiz”, “RDS do Convidado”, “RDS de Ensaio”, “RDS de Apresentação”, “RDS de Baião”, “RDS de Avaliação”, “RDS Livre” and “RDS Final”. The theoretical framework was composed by several authors from the Education and Music area, that we highlight: Gohn (2006; 2013; 2014; 2016), Vianna (1995), Sodré (1998), Souza (2013), Arcuri (2015) and Zabala (1998). In the results, about the students' motivations and previous experiences, we realized that the students bring a previous experience from their family and from the school itself, in addition to the desire to play as the main motivation. About the subjects worked on the circles, we found a small predominance of conceptual contents in relation to attitudinal and procedural contents, but which did not become predominant because there was a certain balance between them. Regarding samba, we realized that the actions developed in the project approach resistance actions, with the learning of “Tiririca” concepts and notes about existing historicity being reasons for making music be included in the samba culture. We also noticed that the educational processes emerged in different contexts and in different circles and varied between formal, non-formal and informal learning. Finally, as a conclusion, we perceived that there was an effective learning through the samba circles at school, in which students, in emerging educational processes, became more knowledgeable of the culture linked to this musical genre.

This work analyzes the Brazilian documentary Espaço além - Marina Abramović and Brazil (The Space In Between: Marina Abramović and Brazil, Marco Del Fiol, 2016) for the bias of intermediality. The film approaches Abramović's trajectory in seek of healing and inspiration around the country. In her pilgrimage, the artist travels through regions of Brazil experiencing sacred rituals and exploring the boundaries between art, immateriality and consciousness. As theoretical reference, Ágnes Pethő’s (2018) concept of “in-betweenness” is considered and supported by the intermediality research axis also based on authors such as Dick Higgins (2012) and Irina Rajewsky (2012). The aim of this research is to investigate how the intermedial relationship between cinema and performance in that film reveals the subjective dimension of the character. In this regard, it also studies concepts of performance in authors such as Richard Schechner (2006), Roselee Goldberg (2016) and Tania Alice (2014). Besides, this research verifies possible comparison between the mode of performative documentary (Bill Nichols, 2012) and remediation (Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin, 1999) of performance in film, since one can notice the displacement of the performance to the cinematographic universe throughout Abramović’s journey.

Occupational Therapy aims to compose a team from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in order to contribute with strategies that favor the welcoming and interventions for the demands of the newborn and his family. In this context, intensive care, a literature indicates that the occupational therapist must be attentive to the baby's signs, clinical condition and environmental conditions, in order to favor brain development and neonatal physiological stability. The Southeast is a region with the highest concentration of NICUs, in addition to being the region where it produces the most knowledge on this subject. The general objective of this study is to characterize the practice of Occupational Therapists at the NICU in the State of São Paulo. Specifically, it is intended to verify the professional profile of occupational therapists who work in the NICU; identify how actions performed by occupational therapists within the scope of the NICU and propose an observation guide for the practice of occupational therapists working in the NICU. This study has a descriptive character, predominantly qualitative approach and data data through semistructured interviews. The interview was conducted with 8 occupational therapists from 5 cities in the state of São Paulo. It appears that the practice of these professionals is specialized in working with newborns, with a family, with a team and, even, without a physical environment of the NICU. Professional challenges related to excessive functions within the hospital, the lack of recognition on the part of the team and the difficulty in finding specific theoretical references directed to practice are also mentioned. The study allowed to know the practice of 8 professionals, occupational therapists, working in neonatal intensive care units, showing their experiences, methods and challenges. The data also reaffirm an emergency in this field for Occupational Therapy. This study, although limited by the limited number of participants, presents results that clarify and detail the practice of occupational therapists working in the NICU, who can contribute to the promotion of the profession in this field.

The Brazilian Coastal and Marine Zone is approximately 10,800 km long, reflecting the great diversity of ecosystems and species present in the coastal / marine territory. The Protected Areas is internationally recognized as one of the main conservation instruments. Management effectiveness is defined as an assessment of the success of the management of protected areas, verifying if the management actions are fulfilling the objectives of creating the UC and managing to protect environmental and social factors. The objectives of this study are (1) to analyze the management effectiveness of the Marine APAs in the State of São Paulo, indicating the management actions that should be prioritized and suggesting recommendations for management measures that contribute to the effectiveness of the UCs (2) elaborate the definition of management effectiveness for Marine APAs, based on the main positive and negative points identified in this study. The methodology used was the RAPPAM Method (Rapid Assessment and Prioritization of Management of Conservation Units). The results show that the management effectiveness of the 3 Marine APAs is average, and the management planning, performance of the Managing Councils and communities and the internal organization of the UC are the indicators that enhance management. The best performance was obtained in the Planning element, while the Inputs element was the one that obtained the lowest results. Investing in inputs is essential so that the other elements of management effectiveness can be improved. The recommendations for management measures were listed, based on the results of the pressures and threats and the information obtained from the results of the other elements of effectiveness. This study showed that the UCs seek to achieve the objectives of conserving natural resources, however the management results are compromised due, mainly, to the low investment of inputs. It is hoped that this current panorama of the effectiveness of the management of Marine APAs and how suggested management measures can improve the management of protected areas, an end that they achieve their creation objectives.

This work investigated the conceptions of Art teaching by teachers working in public schools in the city of São Carlos / SP. As specific objectives, it was intended: to explore which artistic languages the teachers consider to be valid for teaching Art; identify which activities they expect to be carried out in the teaching of Arts; understand why these teachers consider such activities to be valid for teaching Art; to verify the role of art teaching at school for these teachers; and to analyze their conceptions regarding Art teaching at school. We rely on authors who discuss topics such as: “What is Art”; “Legislation on teaching Art”; and “Function and conceptions about teaching Art”. This is a qualitative research, in which a study of interviews was carried out, and which used the semi-structured interview as a data collection technique. For data treatment, content analysis was performed. Four art teachers from the Municipal and State Education Networks were interviewed, in schools located in São Carlos / SP. The data allowed to conclude that the legislation referring to the teaching of Art in schools does not offer concrete subsidies for the teaching work in Art of teachers. In addition, it was possible to conclude that the demands in relation to professional training and teaching practice are still in great disagreement, causing the area to weaken, professional devaluation and an art teaching with little theoretical basis. We were also able to conclude that the interviewees consider the presence and teaching of the four artistic languages at school to be important, but when reporting on the activities carried out in Art classes, the vast majority rely on examples of the visual language or only in the area of their training.

The objective of our research was, in general, to understand the relationship between social policies and the development process in the period comprised by Lula’s second Government (2007-2010) and Dilma’s Government (2011-2014), as well as, the impact of this policies on the extension of constitutional social rights. To this end, we propose to study this double and mutually determining process from, on one hand, the analysis of the meaning of social policies of the city of Sinop development process, in the period between the years 2007 and 2014; and, on the other hand, the character verification of these social policies implemented in the city in that period, if it showed more a demercantilization character (in the sense of sharing wealth) or mercantilization (that is, converging to market forces). Considering it is a relatively new municipality and is located in a region of recent colonization, Sinop had, at the end of 2005, a high level of lack on basic infrastructure in several areas, particularly in the areas related to Health, Education, Housing and basic Sanitation. Such index of shortage in basic infrastructure placed the municipality of Sinop as one of the ones that most demanded investments (both in the state and in the midwest region in general), which, among other factors, favored the municipality to be contemplated, since 2006, with the implementation of a set of public policies belonging to the Federal Government's Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), destined for the construction and or expansion of social infrastructure. In this sense, the city of Sinop has placed itself as a privileged space for observing the impact of these policies on the promotion of economic development and the social inclusion process. To the fulfillment of our study, we used, as methodological instruments, bibliographic research, historical research, documentary research and interviews. The implementation, in Sinop, of some of those policies, especifically, in areas such as Health and Education, ended up printing significant changes in the municipality, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. The analysis of such impacts, based on Sinop, allow us to observe some significant aspects when development policies prioritize the social.

Direct analysis of solid samples using techniques such as wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD XRF), X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS); have many advantages for the development of new analytical methods. However, as the sample is analyzed in its entirety (analyte and matrix present in the analyzed portion) by these techniques, strong matrix effects and inadequate preparation of the solid calibration standards can occur and compromise the determination with the necessary accuracy and precision. Several univariate and multivariate calibration strategies and different preparations of solid calibration standards were evaluated for the direct determination of i) Ca, P and S in mineral supplements for cattle by WD XRF, including the speciation analysis of S (elemental sulfur and sulfate species); ii) species of P (phosphate and phosphite) in fertilizers and mineral supplements for cattle XANES spectroscopy, and iii) of Ca and P in mineral supplements, and Al and Pb in electronics waste using LIBS. The evaluated strategies were matrix-matching calibration, internal standardization, calibration-free, single-sample calibration, one-point and multi-line calibration, two-point calibration transfer, partial least squares regression and linear combination fitting. Two new univariate calibration strategies have been proposed for the direct analysis of solids by LIBS: i) multi-energy calibration and one-point gravimetric standard addition. These strategies enable efficient matrix-matching and minimize matrix effects. Considering the advantages and limitations of the evaluated calibration strategies, the intrinsic characteristics of the analyzed samples and the determined analytes, associated with appropriate chemometric tools; new methods of determination and analysis of chemical speciation were proposed in this thesis, with excellent parameters of analytical performance.

Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe muscular dystrophy caused by the absence of the dystrophin protein that determines, progressive loss of muscle fibers and muscle weakness. It is a disease that has no cure, numerous studies seek palliative treatments that can mitigate the effects of the disease and provide a better quality of life for the patient. Low-intensity aerobic exercise has shown promising results in the rehabilitation of dystrophic skeletal muscle due to the content of utrophin protein, a protein homologous to dystrophin. However, there are few scientific reports that involve analysis of utrophin content after a long period of low-intensity aerobic training in dystrophic muscles. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the impact of low-intensity aerobic training on the content of utrophin protein, in the anterior tibial muscle of mdx mice. Methods: 36 male mice were used, 12 Wild Type C57BL-10 animals (n = 6 / sedentary groups 21 and 37) and 24 mdx C57BL / 10-Dmdmdx animals (n = 6 / sedentary groups 21 and 37 and n = 6 / trained groups 21 and 37 sessions). The animals were submitted a low intensity running sessions (21 and 37) on a flat treadmill, and during the period grip strength test was performed. After the sessions, the animals were euthanized, and blood samples were obtained for analysis of the protein creatine kinase (CK), and the anterior tibial muscle excised for morphological and biochemical analysis. Results: The mdx animals showed a significant reduction in strength and utrophin content, important morphological changes, such as: necrosis, concomitant to the increase in CK, when compared to Wild Type animals. After 21 and 37 training sessions, there was an improvement in handgrip strength and morphological aspects, and an increase in utrophin content when compared to sedentary mdx animals. However, the animals submitted to the 37 of training showed more significant improvements when compared to those trained for 21 sessions. Conclusion: The maintenance of training for a long period has been shown to stimulate the increase in the content of utrophin protein, improve the function and morphology of the anterior tibial muscle of mdx mice.

The phenomenon of hydraulic transient, also known as water hammer, can cause serious problems in hydraulic installations as well as disturbances to public supply. The underpressures and overpressures resulting from the sudden closing of valves or interruption of pumping can cause damage to hydraulic installations, hence the need to know the magnitudes of these events. Thus and so, the objective of this dissertation was to develop a computational model to calculate the pressures resulting from the hydraulic transient in settlement lines, using the Characteristics Method, based on models generated by the Epanet software. The computational model was written in Visual Basic language under the Visual Studio 2010 platform. The results obtained from the simulations were compared with the pressure load data measured in a 1606.00m extension line, 350mm diameter in Cast Iron, and with a manometric height of about 50 mH2O. The pressure profiles simulated over time next to the check valve resulted in adherence to the values measured in the field, mainly in the first period of the pressure curve. The results simulated by the developed model were corroborated when compared with the results obtained with the Allievi ® software. The amplitudes observed in the first period of the pressure waves were compatible with the theoretical predictions obtained by the Jouguet Equation. The computational model developed also simulated the pump stop condition by setting a voltage ramp to slow down the pumping. The simulation results were compared with the data measured in the field and did not result in good adherence.

This research aims to investigate, discuss and analyze how a physical education teacher acts in theoretical and practical classes with deaf students, with and without an interpreter presence, based on the Theory of Communicative Action, by Habermas (2012). We start from the principle that the traditional expository classes restrict the relations of the deaf student with the interpreter and it causes a deficient interaction with the school staff including with the teacher himself/herself. Although, in this educational context, it is essential the interpreter presence to the development of the deaf student, considering that this professional mediates among the participants by oral communication and the deaf student affectivity with this professional promotes positive effects to the student´s development. We used as methodological instruments the reflexive diary, elaborated along the professional career of the researcher who followed the student for two years, and semi-structured interviews with the actors of the studied phenomenon: the interpreter, the deaf student, the pedagogical coordinator and another physical education teacher who taught in the Elementary school with the same student. We concluded that during the Physical Education practices, considering the use of motricity, the deaf student as well as the other staff school members look for communicative tools to solve the problems, in order to not be so dependent of the interpreter, with direct communication among the subjects. We also conclude that in traditional expository classes, the deaf student limits to the interpreter, and by doing it restricts his/her communication and relation with the present teacher as well as the staff school members. A proposed suggestion was the productive groupings as a methodological possibility based on communicative rationality.

A great effort has been made in the development of new analytical methods for biomarker detection aiming at the diagnosis of cancer. Therefore, in this work it was developed an electroanalytical method using low-cost disposable electrochemical sensors (DESs) for the early diagnosis of head and neck cancer (HNC) in a simple, fast, and accurate way. The DESs were fabricated using a craft cutter printer and disposable materials, such as polyester sheets (transparency film for laser printers), vinyl adhesives, laminating pouch masks, carbon conductive and Ag/AgCl inks. All electrodes present in the DES were fabricated employing the screen printing technique, which were used for the detection of the microRNA-203 biomarker (miRNA-203) related to the HNC. The analytical method for the miRNA-203 detection was developed using a capture probe DNA sequence (DNACp) which was immobilized in magnetic particles (MPs) to capture miRNA-203 (MPCp) through hybridization assays resulting in the formation of the bioconjugate MPCp-miRNA-203, after the capture of miRNA-203 a detection probe DNA sequence (DNADp) complementary to DNACp was immobilized on gold nanoparticles (AuNPsDp) allowing its binding in the terminal region of DNACp forming the bioconjugate MPCp-miRNA203-AuNPsDp. The bioconjugate formed was characterized using the techniques Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy. The analytical signal was obtained using the Square Wave Voltammetry (SWV) technique and a 0.2 mol L−1 HCl solution as a supporting electrolyte. After the optimization of the SWV parameters, the method was applied in samples of total RNA from cell lines and lymph nodes of patients with HNC provided by the Molecular Oncology Research Center of the Barretos Cancer Hospital. The electroanalytical method developed presented an analytical curve with a linear range from 1.0 to 500.0 fmol L−1, linear correlation coefficient of 0.997, and limit of detection of 0.52 fmol L−1. The proposed method differentiated healthy individuals and patients with HNC through the amount of miRNA-203 found in the lymph node samples and was presented as an alternative method of low cost, very attractive for the early diagnosis of HNC in a simple, fast and, precise way, which could contribute to a more effective treatment to patients with the disease.

Cement factories, have rotary kilns that use fuels, either fossil, coprocessed or renewable (biomass) and are capable of absorbing all the ash produced during the process, as well as allowing the raw material to be adapted to new fuels. Currently, cement companies already coprocess tires, liquid or paste fuels and signal and increasing demand for biomasses. The objective was to study the of this research is to study the viability of burning eucalyptus bark in cement kilns. Approximately 10 tonnes of eucalyptus bark (waste from a panel industry) were used. Eucalyptus bark was characterized by immediate analysis (ash content – ASTM D1102-84, volatile content – ASTM E872-82 and fixed carbon by difference), bulk density (DIN 14778), moisture (ASTM E871-2013.30), PCS by calorimetric pump (IK C200), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/Perkin Elmer), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/HITACHI TM 3000) coupled to X-Ray spectroscopy by energy dispersion (EDS). The results by immediate analysis showed an ash content of 4.89%, volatiles of 78,46% and a fixed carbon of 16.65. The SEM/EDS analyzes indicated aluminum and silica with more than 30% suggesting material contamination. The moisture varied between 20 to 45% and density from 33 to 52 kg/m3 indicating a very heterogeneous material. The PCS of the eucalyptus bark was 4206 kcal/kg, a value considered attractive for the cement industries. The TGA showed a final decomposition temperature of 600 º C favoring a rapid burning in cement kilns, where the control temperature is close to 880 º C. As a result, the burning of the eucalyptus bark became viable in the cement kiln at 2.5t / h, allowing for 7% thermal replacement, preserving quality and the environment. The results also indicate the possibility of increasing the dosage of the eucalyptus bark, requiring a longer period of tests to ensure the required limit for the quality of the clinker.

The Brazilian agrarian system is responsible for a large part of the national GDP, even though agricultural production is dependent on foreign trade. In addition, many producers prioritize the use of NPK-type fertilizers for soil maintenance, neglecting other nutrients such as magnesium and manganese, which have synergy with phosphorus. Another problem is in the process of leaching of these nutrients, resulting in economic and environmental losses. In order to minimize this waste, the present work aims to produce biodegradable composite films for the release of nutrients P, Mg and Mn. In this way, nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and magnesium oxide (MgO) were synthesized by the precipitation method. For HAP, the obtaining speed was varied. For the synthesis of MgO, the temperature of the heat treatment used after its precipitation was varied. The HAP obtained by rapid synthesis showed solubilization similar to the slow one. The same behavior was observed for the MgO sample with heat treatment at 350 ° C for 2 h, in relation to the higher temperatures. For the production of starch-based thermoplastic composite films, different sources (potato, rice, cassava and corn) were processed in a mixing chamber coupled to a torque rheometer. After analyzing the solubility of the films in water, corn and potato films were selected for the production of starch and pectin blends. The biodegradation test showed higher rates of degradation in the blend composed of corn starch and in compositions with high levels of pectin, which also showed an increase in antimicrobial activity. For this reason, the blend of 75% corn starch and 25% pectin (m/m) was selected for incorporation of FAU zeolite modified with manganese, which varied from 1 to 5% (m/m) and did not result in changes in permeability to water vapor, but did in the mechanical properties. The presence of FAU caused the stress drop, however, it was responsible for the increase in deformation when 3% (m/m) of the particles were added. Sachets composed of 100 TPS, 75 TPS: 25 PEC and 75 TPS: 25 PEC: 3% FAU were produced for packaging the HAP and MgO nanoparticles. It is concluded that the films composed of starch and pectin helped in the process of making phosphorus and magnesium available. Composite films were effective for slow release of the ions of interest.

This dissertation is divided into five chapters. The first one is theoretical, the second and third ones are systematic reviews and the fourth and fifth ones are empirical studies. Chapter 1 aims to analyze a theoretical approach concerning Behavior Analysis and Bilingualism to value the cultural aspects involved in sign language and the deaf community. In the cultural context, the deaf differs when modeling their language, while they are visually modeled for the execution of signs, the listeners are modeled in speech, thus producing two distinct verbal communities: deaf and listeners. The conclusion produces a reflection on whether the practice of the Behavior Analyst, as a cultural agent, should promote a medical or an anthropological vision in his/her studies on deafness, which could lead to the approximation with Bilingualism in the defense of Libras and the deaf Community. Chapters 2 and 3 aimed to analyze papers published on deafness / hearing impairment in Behavior Analysis national (Chapter 2) and international (Chapter 3) journals,. These two chapters carried out a systematic review. The results of Chapter 2 present 39 papers, 18 of which are on deafness / hearing impairment, 18 on Autism Spectrum Disorder and three on intellectual disability. In Chapter 3, 30 papers were found, being 23 on empirical research and seven on theoretical research. The data presents a historical tradition of papers on Behavior Analysis and deafness or hearing impairment. Chapter 4 aimed to verify the effect of Matching-to-sample (MTS) trials as a procedure for evaluating a pre-established reading repertoire with word comprehension in deaf adolescents, by choosing the printed word corresponding to the video with sign in Libras. The method consisted of first testing identity MTS with colors to acclimate the participant to the experiment; then, MTS trials were used to test arbitrary relations between signs in Libras (A) as samples and printed words (B) in Portuguese as comparisons; finally, the participants were instructed to choose the correct order (as programmed by the experimenters) of words to form sentences in Portuguese and in Libras. Chapter 5 aimed to establish contextual color control for the syntactic configuration of two languages, green as contextual control for sentences in Libras and yellow as contextual control for sentences in Portuguese through teaching with copy. Four adolescents from a bilingual school and users of Libras participated in the study. The experimental method consisted of a multiple baseline design with multiple probes, in which pre-tests evaluated the performance of constructing recombined sentences and sentences that were to be taught. In summary, the teaching procedures of Behavior Analysis collaborate to seek empirical data on Bilingualism and to reflect on theoretical interpretations of verbal behavior and Bilingualism.

The uncontrolled growth of the population occurs mainly in coastal areas, resulting in a new form of appropriation of nature that intensifies and change the characteristics of the landscape. The impact caused becomes dangerous for the conservation of ecosystems, mainly coastal wetlands and their ecosystem services, which even covering 1.5% of the earth’s surface, represent 40% of the essential natural services offered to humanity. The services offered include, among others: periodic water supply; retention of flood pulses and sediments; purifies water; aquifer recharge and groundwater. The conservation of these areas guarantees the survival and well-being of humans and the ecosystem. For this, however, it is necessary to have reliable information to generate public policies that keep them conserved. Thus, the work aims to identify, measure and compare the coastal wetlands of Santa Catarina Island within the boundary of the Jurerê and Ratones hydrographic basins, in the years 1957 and 2016, relating them to their available ecosystem services using the valuation as an indicator. Monetary value of these services. For this purpose, a dichotomous switch was made to identify the coastal wetlands found through QGIS, to later identify ecosystem services with the help of the CICES V5.1 system, and finally to value the services through the transfer of benefits. A loss of 33.86% was observed in coastal wetlands in the 59-year interval and consequently there was a loss of 38,523,225.36 (R $ / ha / year) in ecosystem services. To regularize public policies that value the conservation of the environment, it is necessary to understand how it works, what it can provide for society and how it has been affected by the demographic growth of the region. Therefore, it is extremely important to identify and classify areas of social and biological interest, their available services, and the negative impacts brought to the population, serving as an argumentative basis for their conservation.

Given the vast amount of data available nowadays and the rapid increase of computational processing power, the field of machine learning and the so called algorithmic modeling have seen a recent surge in its popularity and applicability. One of the tools which has attracted great popularity is artificial neural networks due, to among other things, their versatility, ability to capture complex relations and computational scalability. In this work, we therefore apply such machine learning tools into three important problems of Statistics: two-sample comparison, conditional independence testing and conditional density estimation.

Azulene-based nanographene-like materials are predicted and studied to reveal the molecular properties of these new materials. C48H18/(G-48), C68H22/(G-68), and C88H26/(G-88) nanographenes and their isomers based on azulene molecule (azulphene) as A-48, A-68, and A-88 were studied to infer general properties for large azulphene systems. Nanotubes from azulphenes are also obtained and studied. The isoelectronic graphene and azulphene materials have significant differences concerning, e.g., electric dipole, aromaticity, bond length, and bond stress. In the present studies, it was used the Density Functional Theory (DFT) and including the version of Grimme´s D dispersion for the different spin multiplicities: singlet close-shell (CS) and open-shell (OS), triplet, and quintet. For example, the ground-state of A-(48-68-88) structures is a singlet. The UV-visible spectra of all compounds exhibit maximum absorption peaks attributed to the electronic transition π→π*. The IR spectrum of G-88 and A-88 shows an intense set of absorption peaks in the range [600:1700 cm-1]. The following IR frequencies could be used as an indicator of azulphene structures: 1124, 1162, 1436, 1542, and 1597 cm-1. The azulphene sheets have a non-uniform distribution of the electron density, unlike graphene systems, which makes them promising candidates for regioselective chemical modification. The nucleus independent chemical shift calculations show that the five-membered rings are aromatic, and the seven-membered rings are anti-aromatic similar to azulene molecule. Our study also showed that smaller diameter tubes based on azulene (C57NTs) might be more stable than their conventional C6NTs isomer. The geometries, the electronic structures and the aromaticity of the [n]-azulene and [n]-naphthalene polymers were studied, by using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the Møller–Plesset (MP2) Pertubation Theory, for the different multiplicities (M=2S+1): singlet (S=0, closed and open shell), triplet (S=1) and quintet (S=2). The ground-states of the [n]-azulene polymers were a singlet (closed shell) for any values of n (n≤10). The ground-states of the [n]-naphthalene polymers were a singlet (closed shell) for n≤6 and triplet for 7≤n≤10. The electric dipole moment of the odd [n]-azulene polymers varied with the length of the polymer chain, while exhibiting a local minimum for [5]-azulene. The dipole of the even [n]-azulene and the (even and odd) [n]-naphthalene polymers were null by symmetry, essentially as a result of the non-polar structure of the azulene dimer and the benzene molecule. The [n]-azulene polymers could be considered as semiconductors, since for the large chain, the HOMO-LUMO gap was estimated at 0.70 eV. The large naphthalene polymers perhaps reached zero gaps. All of the polymers had electronic transition peaks in the visible region and their maximum was red-shifted for the increasing chains. The nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) calculations have shown that ring tension was an important factor in the aromaticity loss, as shown, for example, for the flat, the cycle, and the Möbius strip [20]-polymers. The Aromatic Stabilization Energies (ASEs) that were based on the homodesmotic and isodesmic reactions were also obtained.

This dissertation aims to understand the relationship between urban conflict and difference in the contemporary São Paulo. Based on the ethnographic study conducted in a periphery of the East Zone of São Paulo, I discuss the grammars and normative regimes that emerge from the differentiation processes in operation in cities. I start from the idea that the categories that mark the difference guide the constitution of the grammars mobilized by the subjects for the understanding of social problems, in each daily situation. I consider that the meanings of these categories are disputed through social relations, and are related to the production of orders and formations of sovereignty in urban spaces. Theoretically, I propose a dialogue between two distinct fields of study: Urban Sociology and Studies of Difference. From this, I suggest that the urban conflict is crossed by a process of ‘social accumulation of difference’ from which more or less reified subject positions emerge.

Refractory materials are used as linings in most equipment of heavy industries. As the latter are continuously seeking to reduce expenses in order to increase their energy efficiency and productivity, the evaluation of binding and/or sintering agents, which would reduce time and temperature of thermal treatments, besides providing better properties to refractories in a broad temperature range (600-1500°C), has been widely studied in last years. Considering these aspects, this work aimed to evaluate the viability of different raw materials (calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, aluminum lactate, dead-burnt magnesia, magnesia fumes) as alternative binding or sintering additives to calcium aluminate cement (CAC) in refractory castables, as CAC does not provide a sintering effect to refractory products at intermediate temperatures (600-1000°C). The developed compositions were submitted to mechanical and thermomechanical characterization tests, such as cold modulus of rupture (MOR) and hot modulus of rupture (HMOR) after thermal treatment at different temperatures (50-1500°C), thermal shock (∆T ~ 1000°C), among others. Calcium carbonate and hydroxide did not provide an efficient binding effect (MOR 0.5-3.5 MPa), but their distinct sintering mechanisms (sintering-coarsening-coalescence process and CaO release, respectively) improved the mechanical and thermomechanical performance (MOR 8-40 MPa and HMOR 12-40 MPa) in a broad temperature range (600-1500°C). Dead-burnt magnesia and fumes provided a binding effect (MOR 2-12 MPa) due to brucite formation but sintering was limited in these castables. The mixture of calcium carbonate with magnesia fumes or aluminum lactate improved the green mechanical strength but reduced the sintering effect at intermediate temperatures (600-1000°C). These results showed the feasibility of replacing cement with the mixture of CaCO3 and aluminum lactate, what would bring economic effects with the reduction in the use of cement and the acquired performance.

The Managerial Public Administration or New Public Management, has approached the principles of efficiency, effectiveness and effectiveness to achieve management results as an offer to society. In public education, these principles have also been placed on the agenda, in order to demonstrate the efficient application of public resources, as well as the implementation of public policies for social and professional inclusion. Performance indicators are a management tool to compare the results achieved with the established goals. The Federal Network for Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, responsible for the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, is charged with demonstrating efficiency in management, through 12 performance indicators, set out in a TCU Judgment, which must be included in the reports of management of Federal Institutes. The objective of this work was to analyze how the behavior of the proposed indicators took place, in a historical perspective, understanding the temporal evolution of the years 2012 to 2018, when the data started to be systematized, at national and regional level, and to verify whether the indicators are correlated. As a result of the research and analyzes carried out, it was found that part of the indicators have shown satisfactory results and shown efficiency in the application of educational policies at Federal Institutes. Other indicators showed results that did not a statement about their efficiency and effectiveness, demonstrating the need to review and reassess the set of indicators, their calculation method and the analysis of the results, so that in fact the results obtained can be used as management tools and not simply to fulfill a requirement of the control bodies.
