The internationalization of higher education institutions is an increasingly recurrent theme in the context of academic discussions because, in addition to being an impacting force in higher education, it is one of the most important challenges facing the 21st century. International academic mobility, a phenomenon that moves a significant number of students across borders, is the most visible face of the Internationalization of Higher Education. The activities associated with internationalization go far beyond the cross-border mobility of students, as it also encompasses curriculum development, international cooperation, staff development, among other aspects. In this scenario, this research aimed to assess international academic mobility in undergraduate courses at the Federal University of São Carlos, within the framework of the programs AUGM, Bracol, Bramex and bilateral cooperation agreements, from 2016 to 2019. Academic mobility international is one of the most successful mechanisms in preparing students to work and live in a globalized world, as well as in the acquisition or consolidation of transversal skills such as foreign language skills, independence, initiative, flexibility, intercultural understanding, sensitivity understanding, beyond international awareness. The present research adopted the survey methodology. It has a quantitative approach, and based on the objectives is descriptive. Data collection was carried out through documentary research and the application of a questionnaire to undergraduate students who participated in international academic mobility in the period from 2016 to 2019. The results obtained were analyzed and discussed based on the proposed objectives, confronting them with the literature. The analysis of the results was made through the Average Ranking (RM) of the Likert items within each category. Among the results of this study, it can be inferred that although the international academic mobility at UFSCar is expanding, from the weak spots detected through the questionnaire, it is possible to implement improvement actions to increase the number of academic mobility incoming and outgoing. It was also found that Latin America has developed its international academic mobility, notably through AUGM, however, it still needs to be improved, aiming to attract students from all areas of knowledge. The study also sought to offer subsidies for several institutional actions through the indicators presented. Limitations and suggestions for future studies are presented in the final considerations.

As life expectancy increases worldwide, there is an increased need for orthopedic procedures to repair bone defects resulting from trauma. In this context, new surgical procedures and bone repair materials, such as scaffolds and temporary models for bone regeneration have been developed. In this doctoral dissertation, the development of printable biocomposites composed of poly(lactid acid) (PLA)/bioactive fillers envisioning bone tissue engineering was investigated as an alternative for scaffold fabrication that supports bone growth and could be manufactured to fit the specifics of individuals. During the development of PLA/biofiller composites, an intense investigation was carried out on the processing, rheological and thermal characteristics and molecular properties and their correlation with the characteristics needed for manufacturing and printing filaments with bioactive properties. PLA filaments and PLA/hydroxyapatite (HA) and PLA/b-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) biocomposites were produced by twin screw extrusion, and scaffolds with the biomimetic bone structure were 3Dprinted from the filaments. The scaffolds were characterized by compression tests and presented compressive properties similar to those of human bone. Bioactivity and biocompatibility were analyzed using simulated body fluid and cell line tests, respectively. The scaffolds were able to originate the formation of calcium phosphates within seven days, indicating an adequate environment to support cell growth, and tests with cell lines showed that biocomposite scaffolds are capable of supporting cell growth and differentiation. In summary, PLA/HA and PLA/TCP biocomposite scaffolds with high biocompatibility and bioactivity properties were developed. The use of 3D printing enables the manufacturing of an infinite number of shapes that are suitable to repair bone defects.

The drying step of hydraulic-bonded refractory castables is usually carried using conservative and long heating schedules, in order to preserve the microstructure of dense ceramic linings and inhibit explosive spalling risks, due the steam pressurization resulting from the intense water vapor release observed 110°C. Therefore, alternatives to minimize pressurization and/or to enhance the refractories’ explosion resistance may lead to significant energy savings and lower downtime of industrial processes. In this context, this work aimed to evaluate additives that are able to modify the castables’ permeability and prevent their explosion when exposed to fast drying schedules. Commercial additives (Emsil-Dry - ED and RefPac Mipore 20 - MP), alternatives ones (aluminum lactate - LA and calcium lactate - LC) and low melting point polymeric fibers (PP – polypropylene, PLA – polylactic acid, EVA – copolymer ethylene vinyl acetate, and PCL - polycaprolactone) were selected as drying agents. High-alumina castable formulations (with and without additives) containing calcium aluminate cement (CAC) or hydratable alumina (AB) have been designed according to the Andreasen packing model and, subsequently, extensive experimental tests (flowability, cold flexural strength, apparent porosity, permeability measurements, explosion resistance tests, etc.) were carried out to infer the properties and performance of such materials. The obtained results showed that MP, LA or LC additives change the hydration sequences of the used binders (CAC or AB) and that the performance of the polymeric fibers was improved by oxidative effects and their morphological transformations during heating. Except PLA-fibers, the other selected additives (ED, MP, LA, LC, PP, PCL, or EVA) were effective in adjusting the microstructure of CAC-bonded castables. On the other hand, AB-bonded refractory compositions exhibited high explosion resistance by adding MP, PP-fibers, or blends of LA+CAC or LC+CAC.

Let $\Omega_\varepsilon$ be a thin strip in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $-\Delta_{DN}^{\Omega_\varepsilon}$ the Dirichlet-Neumann Laplacian in $\Omega_\varepsilon$. In this work, we study the spectral problem of $-\Delta_{DN}^{\Omega_\varepsilon}$. The asymptotic behaviour for the non-decreasing sequence of numbers $\{\lambda_j(-\Delta_{DN}^{\Omega_\varepsilon})\}_{j=1}^{\infty}$ given by Max–Min Principle will be obtained, under the condition that $\Omega_\varepsilon$ is thin enough. Furthermore, we study the spectral properties of the Dirichlet-Neumann Laplacian in a thin strip of a fixed width.

This thesis sought to understand representations of the rural and meanings attributed to the community life of the residents of a neighborhood in the city of Botucatu called Demétria, which arose from a pioneer experience in the development of biodynamic agriculture in Brazil. Currently, the role of biodynamic agriculture in this context is very small, with only two farmers linked to the biodynamic movement. However, the neighborhood remains with a strong identity linked to Waldorf pedagogy due to the presence of the Aitiara school and also to the principles of Anthroposophy. Our hypothesis was the existence of different social uses of the rural as a category of thought as well as different social uses regarding the identifications around Waldorf pedagogy and Anthroposophy that are linked to class, ethnic and racial differences. Interviews were conducted with residents using a semi-structured questionnaire. From the meanings attributed by the residents of the neighborhood, it was possible to understand a community that recognizes itself from the notion of socio-environmental rural and that emerges linked to a Brazilian social phenomenon at first urban, namely, the logic of condominium in which the closed residential condominium is elevated to a hegemonic way of life paradigm in the Brazilian national imaginary. Thus, our work presents different moments historically in the formation of the neighborhood, namely: the construction of Estância Demétria and the construction of the Waldorf school “Aitiara” and coming from first fixed and intermittent residents, linked to the process of building an identity associated with anthroposophy and building a community; a second moment, when agricultural production ceases to have a preponderant role in territorial organization, the arrival of new residents and the growth of the neighborhood present new identifications, the rural as landscape, nature and idyllic space, and the Aitiara school become the nuclei of these discursive practices. It is the period that establishes and expands frontiers between Demétria and the city of Botucatu. A third moment, which extends to the present day in which, the great growth of the neighborhood and the number of residents, presents Demetria very heterogeneous, the “demetrian” identity and a sense of community become more and more associated with condominium logic. At that moment, sustainable consumption and the relations with this space as a “commodity”, promote the growing real estate speculation in the neighborhood and reveal influences of the neoliberal ideology regarding the identifications to the rural and socio-environmental issue. In this regard, we seek to analyze the transformations, challenges and potentialities for identity issues in late capitalism, notably regarding the potentialities of the emergence of environmental sustainability as a new identity paradigm in the face of the emergence of the neoliberal subject.

Electoral processes for choosing representatives are a fundamental part of democracy. In order to safeguard the reliability of these processes, the study of the types of electoral systems is of great importance. Still, fundamental for the formation of people and for science, the Brazilian Federal Universities have consolidated internal processes for choosing representative. The Superior Councils are the bodies where collectively the most important decisions are made by Universities and the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), in particular. These Councils are composed of teachers, technical-administrative, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as representatives of the external community. In 2018, UFSCar started to adopt electronic voting in the election of representatives to the Superior Councils. The present work aims to portray how student representation occurs at the UFSCar Superior Councils with regard to their participation in the composition, the importance given to this representation and the effects of the adoption of electronic voting in the election of representatives; still, it is verified, in the present work, by which systems other Universities have been holding their elections. As a result, it was found that there was an important increase in the frequency of discussions about student elections in the UFSCar Superior Councils in the last 3 years (2017, 2018 and 2019) - in particular, in the year 2018. It was also possible to verify that the The introduction of individual electronic voting, as opposed to multiple paper voting, reduced the number of candidates, guaranteed the effective participation as voters of approximately 10% of the students and caused a greater diversity among the elected representatives regarding the Academic Center of origin. It was identified that many Federal and State Universities in São Paulo already adopt electronic voting and that the Helios Voting system, used at UFSCar, has also been implemented in several institutions. Finally, it is concluded that the adoption of individual electronic voting led to a change, for the better, in student representation within UFSCar.

This work analyzes the origin and the trajectory of the Opposition Movement in the Public Education of the Maranhão (MOSEP), during the years from 1997 to 2004. To assay this study object, it was made the theoretical-methodological option of Historical-Dialectical Materialism - according to this, a social phenomenon does not occur isolated, connects to historical, economic, cultural and political determinants, which reveal its essence (constitution) and its form (performance). In this manner, the theoretical-methodological option enabled to construct the epistemic object, traversed by conjectures until it to reach the fundamental question. The crossing started from the search for the comprehension that the analyzed social phenomenon has connection with the work organization in the capital form, in the order of contradictory and antagonistic relations between capital and work. We sought to find the roots of the workers organization from the 19th to the 20th century, exposing the foundations and principles of the antagonistic relationship between capital and labor, to understand workers as a social class, their political organization and their perspectives with a view to struggles beyond their capital, in defense of another society, truly human. Tied to such fundamentals and principles, the workers organization was presented in Brazilian territory, without losing sight of the influences of these historical roots, a moment in which the organization of workers in education was also contextualized and the creation of their entities as instruments of struggles throughout the 20th century. Thus, it analyzed the maranhense context, identifying the emergence of the political organization of teachers of basic education in the Maranhão state - the Association of Teachers of Maranhão (APEMA), in a dialogue with the research works produced by Maria de Fátima Gonçalves (2006), Wagner Costa (2006) Arleth Borges (2008), Robson Silva (2013), José Brussio (2015) and Vanessa Dantas (2016). In this meaning, it constitutes an intricate and extensive context capable of situating the emergence, trajectory and dissolution of MOSEP, its contradictions and antagonisms with the agenda that guided the basic education policy of the state government and with the direction of the teachers union in the figures of Lucimá Góes de Sousa and the PCdoB group, in the dispute for the direction of the “Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação Básica das Redes Públicas Estadual e Municipais do Maranhão – SINPROESEMMA”. Therefore, MOSEP trajectory was explained as a union opposition in Maranhão education, concluding that it was a movement characterized as a political vanguard, based on its struggle schedule, planned and developed throughout its performance and the non-political connection to hegemonic groups.

Restoration models with high density of individuals promote early inter- and intraspecific competition processes, influencing growth relationships. Our study aimed to analyze how the species perform in relation to growth, mortality, and competition in dense and in high diversity conditions and its influence in their ecological classification. An eight-year-old dense (3 to 4 plants.m-²) and diverse (142 species) restoration area was analyzed, obtaining height, diameter, and survival data of 701 individuals of 51 species. In circular plots (7.069 m²) competition rates were determined based on the height and diameter of each plant in relation to its neighbors. Analysis of multiple linear regressions, principal components and network allowed to evaluate the relationships between variables and species. The competition indexes made it possible to characterize the differences in species response according to their neighbors. The successional classification of pioneers and non-pioneers was the one that most contributed to express the competitive relationship between species. Bifurcated individuals had greater competitive potential when subjected to high species richness and showed greater competitive potential by height. Species such as Mimosa bimucronata, Guazuma ulmifolia and Croton urucurana demonstrated highly competitive capacity inhibiting their neighborhood. Although they enable the initial vegetation structure, we recommended their use in low density and frequency in ecological restoration.

The Federal Institutes, instituted through Law 11.892 of 2008, bring a new model for the development of professional education in Brazil. Organized in a multicampi structure and offering basic, professional and higher education, the Federal Institutes have the characteristics and purposes of meeting, through the dimensions of teaching, research and extension, social demands and regional specificities, with a focus on local socioeconomic development, regional and national, and consolidation and strengthening of the productive, social and cultural arrangements of the localities in which they operate. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the insertion of the IFSP Piracicaba in the local and regional economic profile, based on the analysis of graduates from the Higher Technology Courses. For this, the research carried out a diagnosis of the economic-productive profile of Piracicaba and region, identifying the most dynamic sectors of the economy; identified the teaching, research and extension activities developed by IFSP Piracicaba analyzing the local and regional insertion of the institution; identified the professional profiles expected by the IFSP for those graduating from the Higher Technology Courses of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo, Campus Piracicaba, through documentary analysis and interviews with agents representing the courses and the institution; and conducted research with graduates of the Higher Technology Courses in Analysis and Development of Systems and Industrial Automation in order to raise opinions on the training obtained, professional exercises in the area of training, places of origin and current professional practice, suggestions and criticisms. As a result, the characteristics of the two profiles of graduates were identified, identification of the predominance of positive opinions regarding the quality of the courses, the theoretical and practical classes offered by the institution, positive percentages in relation to professional practice with direct or partial relationship in the area of training and professional retention of graduates by the municipality of Piracicaba and region, as well as suggestions for improvements to the actions developed by the institution.

Solar flares are phenomena capable of causing several damages in radio systems, communication satellites, global positioning systems (GPS), among others. The possible damage can vary according to the intensity of the explosion and these explosions are classified as A, B, C, M and X. Predicting this phenomenon is not an easy task due the sparse data and the unknowledge of relevante characteristics of the phenomenon. In this work we aim to improve the process of prediction of solar flares building the knowledge about the domain of the solar cycle structured in a domain ontology. The complexity of the data was abstracted by creating a domain Ontology in order to improve the prediction process. To apply the ontology, it was decided to incorporate it to the ECID solar explosion prediction method, which performs multi-class and multi-label prediction with treatment for imbalanced data. In order to contribute to research on solar flares, ECID was adapted to encompass the Onto Solar Flare ontology. The ontology was developed to semantically enrich the ECID algorithm, the combination of the two tools generated the ECID Onto. The results show a better distribution of classes, facilitating the final decision of the domain specialist.

The Public Defender's Office is the body responsible for the realization of the constitutional right to full and free legal assistance to those who prove insufficient resources, not acting, however, in the labor, electoral and military areas. It has, therefore, an important function of assisting in the promotion of the rights guaranteed by the Brazilian order among the most vulnerable. In the State of São Paulo, the arrangement of each state unit is defined in part by its own public defenders, who may not have any management degree or training. This paper aims to bring proposals for improvements to the civil services offered by a unit of the Public Defender's Office of the State of São Paulo. The literature specialized in Process Management was considered and a case study was conducted. First, it was identified the main processes, possible problems and bottlenecks in the civil service of the unit under analysis. In a second moment, proposals for improvements were elaborated based on the processes, problems and bottlenecks identified.

This work aimed to evaluate the vacuum brazing of h-BN/Mo systems for fabrication of the BPM (Beam Position Monitor) in synchrotron radiation beam. The h-BN has low surface wettability and is difficult to weld. The materials used to compose the metal-ceramic joint were Fe-Ni-Co, due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion, metallic molybdenum (Mo) and h-BN, due to its excellent dielectric properties. The formation of the brazing interface depends on the surface wettability of h-BN by the Ag-Cu-4,5-Ti brazing alloy. Brazing was performed at 865 °C, high vacuum atmosphere (10-5 mbar), with a holding time of 5 min. Computational finite element simulation was performed to evaluate thermal stresses in the brazed joint. The microstructural characterization of the brazing interfaces was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Localized Ion Beam (FIB). The tightness tests of the brazed BPM were carried out to determine the tightness of the pieces and their application in ultra-high vacuum. The simulation results showed the existence of critical points in the brazed joint due to the BPM geometry, with the formation of residual compressive stresses, originated by the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials. The microstructural characterization demonstrated the formation of a continuous joint without defects, with formation of new phases and complex compounds. The brazing alloy promoted the reaction between the active metal and the h-BN, forming new phases at the interface, in addition to eutectoid structures inside the remaining alloy. The formation of TiN and TiB2 compounds in a layer adjacent to h-BN was verified. The properties of the brazed component indicated tightness of 3x10-10 mbar to operate in ultra-high vacuum and brittle fracture in the ceramic material, which shows that the mechanical resistance of the brazed joint was superior to that of the base material.

During twin-screw extrusion, understanding and quantifying the behaviour of molten polymers under different conditions is limited by the complex configuration of the equipment. Due to this fact, real-time extrusion monitoring techniques have gained space, among them, the use of optics is quite attractive since its response time is short and there is no disturbance of the analysed medium. This work focused on the study of real-time in/on-line monitoring of polymeric casting during twin-screw extrusion in different malaxation situations by two optical techniques: turbidity and birefringence. A methodology was developed for in-line monitoring of hydrolysis, chain extension and simultaneous occurrence of both reactions for PET in different screw profiles. A specific equipment was also developed to be laterally coupled to the twin-screw extruder, promoting on-line monitoring of PP melting, at different malax points in the extrusion barrel. In the in-line monitoring of the reactions with PET, it was concluded that when evaluating each reaction separately the screw profile with a preferentially dispersive mixture was better for the chain extension reaction; on the other hand, the profile with a distributive character provided a better hydrolysis reaction. The intrinsic viscosity measurements of the samples taken during extrusion corroborated with the results obtained in-line, validating the measurements. In on-line monitoring, the axial melt profile of the PP melt flow during the first malaxation zone was quantified in real time. The melt fraction of PP in the flow was estimated by measuring its turbidity and flow birefringence. The turbidity decreased as the melt developed, as the ratio of the solid-to-fused polymer interfaces decreased. On the other hand, birefringence increased as the melt progressed.

The objective of this qualitative research, with an ethnographic and interpretative basis, was to analyze teaching units developed and, later, taught by pre-service teachers, from the last year of a Bachelor's Degree in Letters, in a private college, aiming at recognizing in these teaching units the extent to which the theory on language teaching based on thematic units and tasks, previously exposed to pre-service teachers in English Language Teaching Practice classes, may or may not have been materialized in the activities they have elaborated then administered to their peers. The theoretical framework is in line with authors whose ideas converge to communicative language teaching and teacher training, especially with regard to language teaching based on thematic units and tasks. Among them, we highlight: Almeida Filho (1992,1993, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2012, 2016); Barbirato (1999, 2005, 2008, 2016a, 2016b); Brown (2007); Bygate (2015); Ellis (2003); Long (2015); Nunan, (2000, 2004); Prahbu (1987); Skehan (2001); Van den Braden (2007); Vieira-Abrahão (1999, 2000, 2001, 2009, 2010); Xavier (1999, 2000, 2007a, 2010, 2011, 2016); Willis & Willis (2007). The instruments for the generation and gathering of data were the following: an initial diagnostic questionnaire; four open questionnaires, one of which was applied before the English Language Teaching Practice classes started; the second, after the end of the Teaching Practice classes; the third, after the preparation of the teaching units by the pre-service teachers and the fourth, after what we call “Fato”(Fact) when the teaching was put into practice by using the previously planned teaching units. In addition to the questionnaires, recordings and transcriptions of the conducted classes have also been made. The analysis of the data of this research has revealed that a significant part of the pre-service teachers managed to carry out tasks in the instructed lessons, some in greater quantity and others in lesser, showing that the process experienced in the teaching practices has been of satisfactory quality. Nevertheless, it is considered that the time available to accomplish the development of the teaching units and their presentation to students by pre-service teachers may have been insufficient for some who had difficulties in the process experienced, for others who have not been able to elaborate tasks and a few who have not felt secure to administer the classes. It is hoped that the results of this research will help teacher trainers to provide opportunities and encourage pre-service teachers to prepare and administer classes by using thematic teaching material based on tasks on the English Language Teaching Practice classes at undergraduate programs as well as being extended to continuing education courses in order to promote moments of reflection in the teaching practice with the pre-service teachers and in-service teachers really getting “hands on”.

Internal conflicts in organizations can interfere directly or indirectly in the organizational environment and in work relations. In this line, it is important to study conflict management by Human Resources Manager, as well as the analysis of the possibility of using consensual methods as management alternatives related to prevention practices, and the management of internal conflicts involving public servants. The general objective of the present research is to identify in the municipal public agencies which are the main internal conflicts and their possible consequences, to then verify if it exists and how it is carried out by the managers. Therefore, the bibliography review deals with conflicts, organizational culture, people management and conflict management, followed by a Systematic Bibliographic Review specifically on conflict management in Public Administration. Next, a field study was carried out in municipal indirect administration in the cities of São Carlos, Araraquara and Rio Claro. In this way, it was possible to observe the predominance of conflicts related to the content and process of the tasks and, although it was verified the lack of specific and institutional mechanisms for conflict management in the government agencies studied, it was possible to observe the existence of professionals trained in conflict management , mainly the managers of the Human Resources Manager. As general conflict management techniques, the agencies studied make use of dialogue and communication mechanisms, in addition to mediation and negotiation practiced by managers, including Human Resources Manager and technical area chefs.

Working conditions and requirements influence the life and health of workers, exposing them to accidents and illnesses due to work, which trigger processes of leave, suffering and, in many cases, generate or worsen situations of disability. Thus, return to work (RTW) can be a challenge, considering workers’ new health condition and workplace. The RTW process must involve different social actors, with interaction and collaboration, considering workers’ biopsychosocial aspects and their need to adapt to jobs. Center of Reference in Workers’ Health (Cerest) is an important actor. They are institutions specialized in occupational health that promote intra and intersectoral articulation and contribute considerably to RTW. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the role of Cerest in the RTW process through the workers’ statements, using the Psychodynamics of Work (PW) and the Canadian RT model as assumptions, as well as the Discourse Analysis (DA). This is a qualitative research that used semi-structured individual interviews with workers who returned to work after being off due to an accident or illness at work and who, during the period of absence, were followed by a Cerest from the countryside of the state of São Paulo. Eight workers participated in the study, five were men and three were women, aged between 22 and 66 years. They were bank clerks, production assistants, smelters, logistics assistants, engine rectifiers, cleaning assistants, drivers, and nursing technicians. Time off from work occurred between 2014 and 2018, with a minimum duration of one month and a maximum duration of two years, five resulting from work-related illnesses and three from work accidents. RTW proved to be, in most cases, a difficult experience, in which workers remain without assistance by employers or other institutions. Support came from family, the company’s occupational service, or Cerest. Cerest was acknowledged for providing positive contributions to the leave process and RTW; however, it is limited in the RTW process, acting mainly with guidance for workers and recovery. As a result, actions must be improved, such as communication between team professionals and dialogue with workers; feedback through conducts adopted. Therefore, it is considered that RTW still poses important challenges from the workers’ point of view, signaling suffering and lack of assistance in this experience. Advances are needed in order to strengthen communication, commitment, and co-responsibility of social actors, focusing on the needs of workers and the possibilities of workplace adaptation. In this regard, Cerest can play an important role beyond assistance to workers, acting as triggers and mediators of interactions among the different actors, strengthening communication and decision making so that RTW is gradual, consensual and meets workers’ new health condition.

Focusing on the formation of authentic subjectivity in Nietzsche's first writings, this dissertation was developed in two moments: first, working with the concept of tragedy, presented in his first work The Birth of Tragedy, as a possibility of criticizing the supremacy of reason, and as a possibility of a tragic formation; later, in his writings on education, On The Future of Our Educational Institutions and Schopenhauer as Educator, looking for an understanding of the process of “becoming what one is”, of the formation of authentic subjectivity, based on the criticism that Nietzsche makes to the educational institutions of his time and Schopenhauer's exemplarity, as a possibility for the advent of the singular, authentic and honest individual. Nietzsche's own biography is seen here as an example of this formative process of “becoming what one is”: his teaching career; his defense of the Wagnerian cultural project; and his gradual departure from the influence exerted by Schopenhauer and Wagner on his own life and way of thinking, on his own philosophy.

Shoulder pain is one of the main musculoskeletal disorders; however, there are difficulties in its assessment and diagnosis. Considering regional interdependence, a patient's primary symptom may be related to impairments in various regions and systems of the body regardless of proximity to the primary symptom. The relationship between the shoulder and the cervicothoracic spine has less previous evidence, which would improve the description and decision-making in these individuals. In this sense, the objectives of this thesis were: 1) to determine the intra and inter-rater reliability to assess the strength of the cervical muscles in individuals with shoulder pain. 2) identify if there are differences between the assessments of sensitivity, range of motion (ROM) and cervical strength of subjects with and without shoulder pain. For the first study, cervical muscle strength was assessed in 31 individuals with shoulder pain using a portable dynamometer and reliability was analyzed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (CCI), standard error of measurement (SEM) and Minimum Detectable Change (MDC). It was concluded that the portable hand held dynamometer has excellent intra-rater reliability and good to excellent inter-rater reliability for manual cervical dynamometry. In the second study, 48 individuals with shoulder pain and 48 asymptomatic of both genders, aged between 18 and 60 years, who did not have cervical dysfunction were assessed. Sensitivity (pressure pain threshold), ROM (goniometry with cervical range of motion) and cervical strength (manual dynamometry) assessments were performed in all individuals. It was concluded that individuals with shoulder pain have greater cervical sensitivity and less cervical mobility than asymptomatic individuals. In addition, older age, pain and dysfunction tend to be associated with poorer performance in cervical assessments.

The theme of Arboriculture in Brazil presents itself as a research field that covers multiple areas of knowledge and diverse professional practices and activities. It is around this issue that this master's research is based: in seeking to analyze an experience, considered innovative, in the theme of management of Arboriculture in Brazil, specifically in the State of São Paulo, with the Municipality Program Verde Azul - MPVA. Research carried out on the MPVA highlights that there are few studies dedicated specifically to the Arboriculture Directive - AD. The general objective of this research was to investigate, what is the influence of the MPVA’s AD on the current Arboriculture management of the municipalities of Araraquara and São Carlos, SP. Checking the municipal actions carried out in the years 2017 and 2018 and the perception of the interlocutors regarding the fulfillment of the criteria and the current experience with the AD. An exploratory qualitative approach was used, based on the case studies of Araraquara and São Carlos. The methodological procedures were: bibliographic research, documentary research and semi-structured interviews. The documents and interviews were explored and analyzed by means of content analysis techniques, seeking to extract as much information as necessary to fulfill the specific objectives of this research. The actions carried out by the municipalities to comply with the AD are still very fragmented by criteria, with the need for planning urban afforestation in the municipality in a prior and integrated way. However, it was noted that AD mobilized actions aimed at Urban Tree Management in the municipalities studied. The set of actions that have been mobilized by AD, aims to strengthen the management and management in relation to Arboriculture at the municipal scale and are part of the MPVA's objective to improve the environmental efficiency of the São Paulo municipalities. It was concluded that AD has influenced the current Arboriculture Management of the municipalities studied.
