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.

The technological has been improved considerably in recent years, providing the great benefits to several areas of application. Among these areas, agriculture had a great boost, enabling the increasing of the production and at the same time reducing costs and environmental impacts through crop management techniques, thus in this sense practicing the concepts of Precision Agriculture (AP). One of the methods used in PA is to design the planted area in smaller plots with similar values of soil and plant attributes, known as management zones or differentiated management units (UGDs). In this way, spatial data clustering algorithms are used to create UGD maps, in which they depict soil variability. Spatial Ward’s Management Units Clustering (SWMU Clustering) is an approach to spatial data clustering that enables the design of UGDs in AP. Its main advantage over related approaches is the significant reduction of stratification in clusters, obtaining maps of UGDs that are easily interpretable by the end user. This Master’s research investigated how to improve the management of spatial obstacles performed by the SWMU Clustering approach. In this sense, two new strategies were proposed: Replacement Strategy for the Set of Internal Samples to Obstacles and Buffer Strategy. These strategies were compared to the original strategy of the SWMU Clustering approach, showing that the Buffer strategy generated the best results. In addition, as a result of this research, an web application was developed for the SWMU Clustering approach, making it available as a service so that the end user can interact with the SWMU Clustering ap, from sending the input data until the visualization of the UGD results.

The middle and elite classes in basic education constitute an important field of study for the Sociology of Education, although little explored. This research, has as theoretical precepts the work the Pierre Bourdieu, especially the notion of habitus, field and capital from his praxiological approach. Precisely it aims to investigate the performance of a specific habitus that expresses itself more strongly in the last year of basic education - the 3rd year of high school - aimed at training for entry into university education in a private school in the south of Minas Gerais. To this specific habitus we call vestibulando habitus. The importance of entrance exams for the Brazilian context was also discussed, the notion of school success and failure based on the importance of the diploma and the recent challenges of high school, based on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, applied based on socioeconomic questionnaires. and semi-structured interviews. Most students are linked to both the traditional middle class associated with the high level of schooling of their parents, and also members of the so-called “new middle class”, based mainly on the possession of economic capital, differently from the research hypothesis that said they were elite groups from the South of Minas Gerais. Thus, the flexibility of the vestibulando habitus becomes visible in the fittings of trajectory based fundamentally on the cultural capital associated with the social origin and on the volume of investments made since childhood.

The objective of this work was to compare the agronomic aspects and production costs of two Italian tomato production systems cv BS II 0011 staked in a greenhouse, one in the Organic Production System (SMO) and one under the Conventional Management System (SMC) in winter cultivation in the Municipality Guaiçara / SP. The SMC and SMO of the different crops were characterized, addressing the agronomic and economic aspects, (soil preparation, planting, management, cultural treatments, pest control, diseases, spontaneous plants, productivity and height, and production costs). The agronomic variables analyzed were: plant height, weekly production and accumulated tomato production. The three variables showed significant results, according to the Tukey test, all favorable to SMC, in the same way as to the results of production costs and financial return. The survey of production costs showed similar values for both systems. Thus, to result in the same net profit, the sale value of organic tomatoes should increase proportionally to the reduction in production, that is, 50% higher. However, the experiment is in the first year of organic, indicating a tendency to reduce input costs, due to working in a balanced system, reducing production costs.

Multi-target learning is a prediction task where each data example is associated with multiple target-variables (outputs) simultaneously. One of the challenges in this research field is related to the high dimensionality of data present in multi-target datasets, and also the high number of target variables having dependencies among themselves. In such scenarios, it is crucial to extract lower-dimensional representations from the original input-space, such that these can be provided as input to other multi-target predictors. In this research, we proposed the use of Auto-Encoders and Restricted Boltzmann Machines as feature extractors in several multi-target classification datasets publicly available. Results were evaluated considering state-of-the-art multi-target classification methods and evaluation measures in the literature. The experiments showed that the neural networks were able to keep the predictive performance even when the extracted features corresponded to a dimension size equivalent to 10% of the original number of features and, in some cases, getting better results than the original datasets.

Statically-linked libraries can cause the work of a reverse engineering analyst to get disproportionately hard compared to the work of the programmer who developed the software under study. This situation often arises not as an obfuscation tactic but as a measure to ease software distribution. For example, many malware programs designed for the Linux platform employ static linking to avoid compatibility problems when propagating to other systems. Many tools often used in reverse engineering practice, such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Radare2, and Binary Ninja, have mechanisms that aim to recognize functions from these libraries, employing techniques that vary from byte sequence matching to the evaluation of control flow graph metrics. Works from the literature propose alternatives rarely adopted in practice, in part due to the lack of a comprehensive evaluation methodology. Besides, the techniques usually assume that the same version of the library used to compile a binary will be used to analyze it but neglect the issue of recognizing that version. There are also no studies about the impact of applying signatures with a different version than the one used to build the program. The present work studies these aspects on recognizing statically linked libraries by applying signatures generated from several distinct versions of the standard C language library and proposes a technique that allows fast recognition, up to 72% cases, of the version of the standard C library linked to Linux binary. This way, the work hopes to contribute to achieving better accuracy when recognizing statically linked library function.

Dictionaries represent an important tool in languages teaching/learning process. It is due to the scientific investment in the field of lato sensu lexicography, area responsible for elaborating the product “dictionary” and/or theories about it. However, from the research performed here, it was possible to observe how incipient the works which dedicate to the field of lexicography of sign language are. It is noticed that this investigation area is still in embryonic stage and, therefore, it urgently needs more attention and more researches for them to positively reverberate in the production of new sign language dictionaries in different spaces and possibilities of usage. It is assumed, in this work, lexicography as branch of linguistics which operates in two fronts, namely, practical and theoretical (or metalexicographic), and may be carried out from different affiliations. Thus, this is a qualitative research, of exploratory nature, and it is characterized as a metalexicographic study, focusing on the use of the dictionary and on the necessities of the users. It dialogues with the bilingual and the pedagogical lexicography, two investigation lines anchored in the lexicography great area, intersecting with deaf people education. It is interesting for this work to investigate what contribution a dictionary could give to the didactic-pedagogical demands and the demands of learning the Portuguese language as a non-native language in deaf people’s basic education. Regarding the public policies which advocate the bilingual teaching for deaf people and the legislations which endorse this practice, it is said that the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), because it is the constitution language of the deaf individual, must be taught as the first language and the Portuguese must be ministered as the second language in the written modality. However, concerning the Portuguese language teaching for non-native students, as it is the case with deaf people, it is necessary to pay attention to linguistic rights and to the accessibility in the materials made available as pedagogical support. Because there are no school dictionaries directed to this audience, there is just the possibility to use standard lexicographic works which involve the Portuguese-Libras linguistic pair. In this sense, this study has as specific objectives: i) to investigate if there is and how Portuguese-Libras dictionaries are used, as well as their respective functions in the context of teaching of Portuguese as L2 for deaf people in Elementary School (do sexto ao nono ano) in schools or educational bilingual programs in the teachers’ perspective, understanding the teacher as essential and indispensable part in the presentation of the dictionary to students and in the mediation of its use in and out of the classroom; ii) to identify which dictionary or dictionaries is/are preferably indicated and used by these teachers and the reasons which make them choose such dictionary rather than others. In order to reach the proposed objectives, two instruments were used, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview, aiming to obtain the necessary and sufficient data to subsidize this study, which counted on the participation of four bilingual teachers, who responded to the instruments based on their beliefs, experiences and classroom practices in teaching Portuguese as L2 for deaf people. The obtained data were organized by analysis categories and were qualitatively examined, separated according to their origin instrument. The results point out that both dictionaries and other devices are used in the classroom to help the Portuguese as a second language teaching-learning process, however, due to some limitations presented in the existing lexicographic works, the teachers end up developing their own strategies, involving the deaf students, to create customized materials according to these students’ educational and learning necessities. From the contributions given by the participants, it is possible to conclude that the field of lexicography still has a lot to dialogue with the field of deaf people education, mainly regarding the teaching of Portuguese as a second language, in a way to think of a typology of dictionaries suitable for this setting and for the necessities of the final consumer of this product, the deaf students.

Introduction: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) affects percentage significant impact of patients using invasive mechanical ventilation, promoting adverse effects on and often fatal outcomes resulting from lung injury due to its prolonged use. Oral hygiene is a mediating care and of paramount importance prevention of pneumonia in these patients, but when performed in a manner that is inadequate, the oral cavity becomes a focus of colonization contributing to the development of VAP and consequent increase in patient criticality, expanding the probability of complications. However, discernment on how to perform this technique of is scarce and absent in the training of health professionals, causing them to this care is not often carried out in the appropriate manner or prioritized in the patient care. Information and communication technologies make it possible to training of these professionals in the search for knowledge and improvement in the care provided to the patient. Objective: To develop a learning tool through a video training of health professionals in the proper performance of the hygiene technique patients on mechanical ventilation hospitalized in intensive care units. Method: This is a methodological study of the development of the object of Learning. The proposition for the construction of the video is based on the literature and has been composed of 3 stages: Pre-production, construction of the script, synopsis, argument; Production: preparation of the environment, rehearsal with the actresses, development of the narration, choice of positioning and filming of the scenes; Post-production: editing of the scenes, introduction of images and adjustment of the narration. Results: An educational video was obtained with the offer of a safe tool for health professionals in carrying out the oral hygiene. Seven scenes consisting of images were elaborated together with the from the preparation of the environment to the outcome as the annotation in Chart. Conclusion: The product of this study represents an innovative strategy of training, based on the best scientific evidence, and may direct the actions of the health professionals in performing oral hygiene for critically ill patients using mechanical ventilation, since it allows the acquisition of knowledge and underpins the Assistance.
