Citrus canker is one of the most relevant diseases that affect citrus crops, being responsible for serious economic losses to citrus fruit producers and traders. This disease is caused by Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas, which can lead to premature fruit fall and total loss of plants present in the infected area. Nowadays, the control of citrus canker is carried out through methods in the field of prevention of the proliferation of the etiological agent of the disease combined with the use of copper-based compounds that inhibit the development of the bacterium. However, the search for more sustainable alternatives that are in fact effective in eradicating the disease is of general interest. In this work, the potentials of antimicrobial action of eugenol, thymol, geraniol and menthol (major compounds of essential oils) and essential oil (EO) of ginger against two strains of Xanthomonas that cause citrus canker (Xac and Xau-B) were investigated. In order to enhance its action spectrum, nanoemulsions were produced for each compound and oil, which underwent suspension analysis to characterize particle sizes and stability. The thymol and ginger EO nanoemulsions had the smallest particle sizes and the highest stability. However, of these two, only the thymol nanoemulsion showed the ability to inhibit the development of both strains of bacteria, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 0.03% (v/v), along with eugenol nanoemulsions (with MIC of 0.03% (v /v) for Xac and 0.02% (v/v) for Xau-B) and geraniol (with MIC of 0.06% (v/v) for both bacteria). Thymol was the compound with the highest minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC), with values of 0.03% (v/v) for both bacterial strains. Eugenol showed MBC only against Xau-B, at a concentration of 0.03% (v/v). Geraniol did not show bactericidal activity, which suggests a bacteriostatic action of this compound with the tested microorganisms. In general, Xac was more susceptible to bacteriostatic activities, while Xau-B was more sensitive to bactericidal actions. The ginger EO and menthol nanoemulsions did not show any antimicrobial activity.

This dissertation analyzes, in philosophy with children classes, paths that can be taken so that they are meaningful to children, through the use of mascots, puppets, woven by an artisan teacher and linked to stories, dialogue and philosophizing. For this, we established a relationship with the history of philosophy for children, a method developed by the American philosopher Matthew Lipman, responsible for the writing of philosophical novels, considered by many to be a central material to be used in class. Seeking to go further, new words and ways of philosophizing, Walter Omar Kohan and other researchers contextualize philosophizing in a free and creative way, allowing both the child to open up to this world and the teacher. Based on the idea of craftsmanship, of sewing other ways of bringing children closer to philosophy, we introduced mascots to philosophy classes. Such experience - initially performed in face-to-face teaching with continuity in remote education, due to the COVID-19 pandemic-, proved capable of bringing children closer to philosophy, instigating and inspiring them to a creative, playful and engaging philosophizing, as a relevant proposal for teaching philosophy with children.

Bilingual education for the deaf is a right supported by legal documents, which should be implemented through public policies aimed at education. Such a proposal has to be expressed in each municipality, which builds specific actions for its production. It happens that each municipality presents different understandings of what it is to make a bilingual education and of how to promote the teaching in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). The present study aimed to analyze the transposition of the discourses of truth about the education of deaf people and their implications to the daily practices of the Educational Interpreter (EI). To this end, we analyzed the guidelines regarding public policies of bilingual education for the deaf, implemented by the Department of Education of a municipality in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, in the early years of elementary school, as a component of knowledge of the investigated scenario and the daily practices implemented by educational interpreters in this educational unit. We used the analytical triangulation carried out through theoretical reflections and documentary analyses aligned with the conceptions of the participants. To this end, we crossed in the text the emerging statements of educational interpreters, teachers, school managers, and the Special Education Coordination. Such knowledge grounds the analyses aligned with the studies of legal devices in dialogue with the knowledge proposed by the philosophies of difference. The methodological proposal is consistent with the archogenealogical perspective of Michel Foucault. In summary, the research is described as a case study of a qualitative approach, with data crossed by the Deaf Studies and the philosophies of difference, in Michel Foucault. As a result of the study, we highlight the understanding that the daily practices of the educational interpreters still reflect a complex inclusive educational paradox: sometimes, we can see practices that point towards the education of/with the deaf and others, education for the deaf, namely, oriented by a hearing logic linked to the adequacy and repair of teaching to the deaf. There are existing disparities and internal struggles waged by the educational interpreters that reflect resistance against the logic of biopolitics produced in bilingual education, still aligned with the radical inclusion of figures, based on the erasure of multiplicity and deaf differences. The act of counter-action, daily promoted by these professionals in their minor actions, points to the first signs of the construction of education of/with deaf, based on legal devices, that even with limitations, can guide a bilingual perspective in Libras, focused on the desire of the deaf community for a singular education of/with the deaf.

This Course Conclusion Work aims to analyze the novel Uma Viagem à Índia, by the Portuguese writer Gonçalo M. Tavares, from a proposal to verify the incidence of parodic resources in its composition. It is intended, here, to think how such reinvention opens a support for other reinterpretations, especially those of a cultural order, and how they all contribute to thinking the text under study within the scenario of a “new canon of Portuguese fiction” (REAL , 2012, p. 9). This work is based mainly on two guiding texts (HUTCHEON, 1985; REAL, 2012), in order to respectively examine the parodic processes contained in the work and ponder on some nuances of the literary context of Portuguese fiction from the 2000s onwards. In a second moment, through the reading of the Gonçalian text within the literary panorama of contemporary Portuguese fiction, the process of transcontextualization of Luís de Camões's Os Lusíadas, by the effect of parody, is specifically analyzed, and how, from this point onwards. resource, Gonçalo M. Tavares effectively contributes to thinking not only of another image of Portugal, but also of Europe itself, prefigured in the character Bloom.

This study aims to propose and discuss twelve indicators of social participation in municipal public policy councils. Three thematic axes were defined, under which an analysis was developed to choose the referred indicators. The first analytical axis is the associative density and political relations in the local civil society. The second axis concerns the characteristics of the councils of the municipality. The third axis analyzes the position of the municipal authorities in relation to social participation in the management of public policies. The expectation is that the set of suggested indicators will be a first step in the elaboration of an information system capable of situating a municipal government in terms of social participation, in order to make possible a ranking of municipalities of equivalent size on a scale of degrees of effectiveness participation in the planning, development and implementation of public policies in the municipality. Measuring the level of openness to participation in different municipalities, as well as their effective translation in terms of responsiveness of local public management to public preferences, represents a huge challenge. This work represents a small contribution to the debate to be developed in this sense, without the intention of presenting conclusive results, rigorously verified and measured.

This research aims to investigate which elements, from the perspective of the HistoricalCultural Theory and through the theoretical studies of the community, could be verified during the continuing professional training course taught to 20 Mathematics teachers of Basic Education, in the period from August to December 2017. Therefore, the question that leads it is: What elements can characterize the development of a group of teachers who teach mathematics to constitute themselves as a collective in a formative scenario? We assume as a collective concept, an organized group of free workers willing to develop based on common goals and needs, in a harmonious relationship liable to successes and failures, however, without neglecting personal goals. The research was developed from a context of continuing professional training, based on the qualitative approach and on the methodological principles arising from the dialectical historical materialist method. Defending the thesis that continuing professional training courses, when organized theoretically and methodologically as an activity in the perspective of historical-cultural theory, are configured as formative spaces for a collective in the Brazilian educational scenario. For that, we consider the observation and participation in the apprehension of the production of the reality experienced by the group, valuing, for the analyzes, the contradictions as fundamental. The analyzes were constructed by means of four essential elements, characterized as formative: 1) Collectivity, 2) Work, 3) Organization 4) Consciousness and Alienation. As a result, it was possible to expand the knowledge about the collective and the continuing professional education in Brazil based on the systematization of the elements that constitute the development of a collective of teachers, so that this training process is not depreciated only for career advancement. Furthermore, to give light to a structure of continuing professional training with teachers through HistoricalCultural Theory, and in the social, political and economic scenario in which we live, enable us to work from a more human perspective in favor of the constitution of an educational collectivity.

This work aims to analyze and characterize Cosan group’s performance and its strategies from the 2000s, in face of the recent changes in Brazilian agroindustry, based on the hypothesis that those strategies point to an adjustment of the company to a new competitive environment, as a result of the financialization of the world’s economy. In a further moment, we have analyzed the logic that stands in the contemporary sugar-energy industry based on the phenomenon of financialization, given the privileged position of group in the Brazilian sugarcane activity. This research focus on Cosan’s expansion and diversification strategies, in order to map its performance in several economic activities, as so its interactions with many others that somehow connect themselves to the group’s agro-industrial enterprise. Therefore, this work is structured under three specific goals, that represent each of its three chapters, being i) the reviewed reconstruction of Cosan’s trajectory; ii) the description of the holding Cosan Limited’s genesis, mapping its participations and analyzing its strategies; and iii) the analysis of the contemporary dynamics of sugar-energy agrobusiness based on the dominance of the finance. This study counted on a documental analysis of State’s public documents, official announcements published by the group itself, as journalistic reports and bibliographic review. Were used a historical-deductive and inductive approaches, based on the historical-structural method of analysis. It is concluded that the neoliberal adjustment of the Brazilian State forced the integration of Cosan group into the international financial and capital markets, changing the dynamics of capitalist accumulation in the sugar-energy sector and the appropriation of land income.

Social inclusion through work, in the area of mental health, presents itself as a field of research endowed with challenges, as it transcends discussions in health. The debate about the right to work, work with social and affective value points to discussions that have a possible encounter with social technologies in the area of science and technology. The projects that develop work and income generation activities, inspired by the solidarity economy, use associative and cooperative strategies to organize the way the groups work, developing true replicable social technologies. Considering that social cooperativism is a strategy of social inclusion through work for people in social and economic disadvantage, this doctoral thesis aims to analyze the experience of a social technology, in terms of promoting social inclusion through the work and production of Good Living, from the perspective of its participants. This is a case study carried out at the Center for Workshops and Work (NOT), located in the city of Campinas / SP. NOT is one of the psychosocial rehabilitation projects of the Dr. Cândido Ferreira Health Service (SSCF) and aims to offer work and income generation activities to three hundred people in the municipal health network. The research with a qualitative approach, had a semi-structured interview script that was built from the considerations of the Application Manual of the Functionality Classification Table for Mental Health. Ten interviews were conducted, with the criterion of being included in a workshop for at least one hundred and eighty days. The results made it possible to characterize the participants of the research and social technology, with regard to gender, age group, education and time of inclusion in the service. To collect data regarding treatment, such as: place, time and intensity of care, use of medication and type of illness. And also to identify social aspects such as: housing situation and receiving benefits. Through semi-structured questions, it was possible to understand the history and life projects of the participants and thereby analyze the potential of TS-NOT as a promoter of social inclusion through work. The results of the research indicated that the inclusion in work workshops and income generation, within the scope of the production of new meanings of life, promotion of self-care and new sociability, can provide practices of Good Living.

Civil construction is one of the activities that generates more jobs in the country, however it still has traditional construction methods, but also with great technological advancement. The number of workers in this area is quite significant, due to the diversity of activities existing in a building. In the case of the reinforcing steel service, tasks are performed manually and request different degrees of effort, which when applied recursively, with tools and equipment unsuitable and inadequate workplace, may cause damage to the health and comfort of workers. In this context, this study aims to relate the ergonomic conditions of the workplace with the productivity of the workforce in the execution of the reinforcing steel service, establishing a cause-effect relationship. Thus, the conduct of this research is based on a field survey in the execution of the reinforcing steel service in 37 construction sites, with the achievement of labor productivity indicators and ergonomic work evaluation based on three ergonomic analysis instruments (Ergonomic Workplace Analysis - EWA, Metabolic Equivalent - MET and Occupational Repetitive Actions - OCRA) and statistical analysis on which ergonomic conditions influence labor productivity, as well as their intensity of influence. The originality of this thesis consists in the establishment of the statistical relationship between the ergonomic conditions detected and the productivity of the labor force in the execution of the beam, column reinforcement service. According to the statistical analysis applied to the sample, the ergonomic conditions resulting from the application of MET and OCRA instruments were found to influence labor productivity, while this influence was not detected statistically through the application of the EWA instrument. As contributions, in addition to establishing an equation for predicting labor productivity based on the ergonomic conditions detected through the application of the ergonomic assessment instruments MET and OCRA, the statistical procedure adopted can also be highlighted, which can be generalized for studies of a similar nature considering other activities of the reinforcing steel service or even other services.

Let F be an infinite field of characteristic different from 2. In this thesis we will study the polynomial identities and central polynomials with involution for two important classes of algebras. More precisely, we describe completely the set of all polynomial identities with involution and the set of all central polynomials with involution for the Grassmann algebra E, when the involution * is arbitrary. Afterwards, we describe the set of all polynomial identities with involution for the algebra of upper triangular matrices of order 3, UT_3(F), when F is an infinite field of characteristic p bigger or equal 3 and the involution is of the first type. Finally, given an arbitrary involution of the first type for UT_n(F), with n bigger or equal 3, we verify that its only central polynomials with involution are the trivial ones.

The concept of fantasy was evidently a central point in what is conventionally called “the abandon of the seduction theory”: if until 1897 Freud considered to be true memories that which their patients told him and, as he theorized, lay at their symptom’s origin, henceforth the content of these reports loses the mnemonic status that it previously had, and the ensemble of the representations underlying the neurotic symptomatological formations is considered phantasmatic or even fictitious. Fact is that, although it is one of the major pivots of this theoretic turn of Freud, the concept of fantasy is no thematized by him as one of the epistemological pillars of the nascent theory, nominated psychoanalysis: in some of the moments of acutest theorization, it is not analysed, related to other concepts, nor it is questioned. On the other hand, fantasies pullulate in the analysis of clinical cases or aesthetic works, for example, that which reveals Freud as a skilful fantasies hunter at his analytical practice. In view of this apparent asymmetry, it was established as the main objective of this study to verify the epistemological status of the concept of fantasy within the Freudian theoretical corpus. In order to do so, we parted from the so-called “seduction theory”, summarizing it ant pointing out, within it, the role of three concepts: memory, symptom and desire. After that, we essayed to read and evaluate the theoretical metamorphosis operated with the advent of fantasy; for this, we returned to the three concepts chosen, now however within the psychoanalytical theory. Fantasy revealed to be fundamental (in the strong sense of the word) for understanding the truly psychoanalytical notions of memory, symptom and desire: without it, none of these terms can be comprehended in its entirety. We were able to diagnose, moreover, that it is precisely in virtue of its notable invisibility in the Freudian theoretical formalization that fantasy gains immeasurable importance there: even though it is not a theorization’s central figure, it emerges as a true irrecusable background of the Freudian text. It is as a horizon that fantasy peeps properly: just as it underlies the most varied conscious’ formations (symptoms, dreams, oblivions), it underlies the very meaning of the Freudian word as well. More than a psychoanalysis’ concept and object, for us fantasy represents both its most intimate truth and limit.

This work sought to rescue important aspects of the history of the Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil, located in time even before its effective installation, which occurred only in March 1970. Created from articles 11, 12 and 13 of Brazilian Federal Law 3,835 of 1960, UFSCar would only be installed in 1968, after a series of setbacks that, for many times, almost prevented its effective existence. Throughout its history, however, the University has paid little attention to the preservation of its institutional memory and the recording of the history of the people who have passed through it. In view of this reality, we seek to carry out, within the scope of chapter 1 of this work, a survey of the few official initiatives of historical preservation or relevant personal initiatives that have solidified as fundamental for the creation, in recent years, of a Multidisciplinary Unit of Memory and Historical Archives (UMMA), the first concrete initiative to promote an effective system for creating, processing, and making available historical collections at the University. Then, within the scope of chapter 2, we proposed to create a chronological narrative, after research of various sources, of the events that resulted in the legal foundation of UFSCar. In the eight-year gap between the first legal instrument to cite the institution and the effective creation of the Federal University of São Carlos Foundation, a series of political and academic oppositions proved to be obstacles to the original project. To better understand such oppositions, it was necessary, first, to know the existing environment and the people involved, which is appropriate to the Marxist dialectical method that guided our investigation. Thus, after a summary of the conditions of Brazilian education, from the “nation discovery” to the 1960s, we proceeded to an investigation into the public lives of Ernesto Pereira Lopes and Lauro Monteiro da Cruz, the so “parents” of the project of a Federal University in São Carlos. Having known his probable interests, we started to investigate the opposition to the project, first, from the University of São Paulo, which did not want to add to the new academic initiative its already well-established School of Engineering of São Carlos (EESC). Another opposition, this one of a highly political nature, was created thanks to the actions of Jânio Quadros, then President of Brazil, who proposed the total cancellation of the project, which, however, was reversed by actions of Pereira Lopes and Lauro Cruz within the scope of the National Congress. A third opposition, different from the others, sought not to destroy the University, as the previous intentions did, but to profoundly alter its design and form, taking to the capital of the State of São Paulo the legal structure set up for the first federal university in its boundaries, transforming the São Paulo School of Medicine (EPM) effectively in the new university institution. Those oppositions having been overcome, largely due to Pereira Lopes' insistent will and the parliamentary performance of Lauro Cruz. After this, we proceeded to an analysis of the historical elements related to obtaining the Trancham Farm to become the headquarters of the institution's São Carlos campus. Thus, we make a historical account of the university's first days, even before its effective institutionalization, seeking to assist in the efforts to preserve UFSCar's own memory.

Introduction: The phenomenon of population aging is a fact and with the increase in the number of elderly people each year, the care offered is facing important transformations, both for the spaces and for the people who provide care. The quality and integral care provided are guaranteed by law, primarily by the National Policy for the Elderly and the Statute of the Elderly and emphasizes that the family, society and the State must offer to support and needs to theirs elderlies. The guarantee of quality service includes the inspection of those who offer, among them Long-Term Care Institutions for Elders (ILPI), which are inspected by the Public Ministry, Council of the Elderly, Health Supervision/ANVISA and others provided by law; identifying the formalization of the type of economic activity provided and target public, in relation to the activity offered in the day to day and for those who offer. Objective: characterize the ILPI of two interior cities (São Carlos and Araraquara) of the São Paulo state, from the registers collected of the Municipal Council of the Elderly and the Prosecution of Justice of the Elderly; besides comparing with the registers of the National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE). Methodology: This is a qualitative and quantitative study, descriptive, retrospective character and foundations of thematic content analysis. This study was linked to the research group Law, City and Aging. There was a bibliographic deepening through descriptors related to the theme in databases of SCIELO, BVS and repository of theses and dissertations of UFSCar and University of São Paulo (USP). The collection occurred in the Gerontology Department of UFSCar in the research group database, between the first and second semesters of 2019. The general characteristics of the ILPI (nature, public attending, main and secondary activity) were identified and in the sequence the collection took place through the internet at the IBGE and according to the CNAE records, aiming to characterize the typology of each ILPI with emphasis in its activities. Results: Twenty-six ILPI were identified, 21 (80.8%) are private, 5 (19.2%) philanthropic, and the majority of the vacancies occupied (712) by women (483, 67.8%). The primary activities related to the registration of ILPI are among the majority (11, 42%) highlighting the social area of performance. However, other classifications are adopted characterizing a care services in the health area like the typification of Clinics and Geriatric Residences.

Introduction: The number of Brazilian elderly people has been increasing in recent decades. However, there is also a significant increase in spending on health and greater consumption of medicines. Guaranteeing the right of the elderly person in the public and private care network is currently expanding enormously to eliminate the possibility of negligence or the absence of the right to health. On the other hand, when the right is violated, one of the supporting agencies is the Public Ministry (MP), and especially in relation to the interface with the elderly and the need for pharmacological treatment (drugs) the MP has received numerous requests. Thus, this research characterized requests for support for pharmacological treatment with the Public Prosecutor's Office for the Elderly in a Brazilian city of the São Paulo state. Methodology: Descriptive, exploratory, retrospective study, based on documentary study fundamentals. Data collection was carried out using the @e-SAJ system (Justice Automation System). The analysis was based on the assumptions of simple statistics and thematic content. Results: A total of 153 cases were analyzed regarding the request for drugs by elderly people at the MP of Araraquara city from June 2015 to April 2016. The elderly median age requesting persons was 72 years, the majority composed of women, married and widows, with income up to 3 minimum wages and living in the central region of the city. The requests were related to the support of pharmacological treatments for diseases, with decreasing prevalence: Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Neoplasms, Macular Degeneration, Arthrosis, Alzheimer, Stroke, Depression, Heart Failure and Dyslipidemia. The most requested drugs were: Lucentis Ranibizumab, Rivaroxibana (Xarelto), Eylea, Insulin, Carvedilol, Clopidogrel and Galvus Met. Discussion: The discussions and actions regarding health promotion and disease prevention policies are expanding and investing in long-term primary care can result in a reduction in spending on old age and avoid the processes with the MP, establishing a guarantee the right to health. The MP has a fundamental role in supervising and assisting in the construction of public policies that are effective and efficient to structure the Unified Health System and the support network for the elderly to improve social support and seek the eradication of discriminatory and violence.

Introduction: Photobiomodulation as a complement to exercise is common in clinical practice; however, the existing evidence for its recommendation is low. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether photobiomodulation therapy provides additional benefits to exercise in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Material and methods: An electronic search was carried out in databases, including Medline via PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus, for randomized clinical trials published in English from 2003 to 2014. The selected studies were selected independently and the guidelines were used to describe this systematic review evaluated according to PRISMA (Preferred reporting items for systematic analysis and meta-analysis). Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. Moderate evidence indicates that low- and high-level laser therapy provides additional short-term benefit for exercise in improving overall pain (10 cm visual analog scale of pain) and disability. Conclusions: Physiotherapists may consider the use of photobiomodulation therapy as a short-term supplement to exercise to improve pain in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Introduction: In the Brazilian scenario, population aging has been shown in evidence. We highlight improvements and investments in social, health and assistance programs for people over 60, and support for families. Some programs, projects and services gain evidence of care and offer support and assistance to families and the elderly who need care, through comprehensive institutional care, in which the Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (ILPI), also known as asylums, shelters or nursing homes are inserted. Objective: To verify the reason for the requests for vacancies in ILPI in two cities in the interior of São Paulo state (São Carlos and Araraquara), as well as to characterize who sought the vacancy and for whom. Methodology: This is a qualitative and quantitative research, of a descriptive and retrospective nature, the analysis being carried out through the thematic content. The collection of this work was through the database of the research group Law, City and Aging of the Department of Gerontology (DGero) at UFSCar, referring to the initial twelve months of collection of each municipality (São Carlos: October 2018 to September 2019; and Araraquara: May 2018 to April 2019). After the collection, a bibliographic date was carried out with the intersection of the descriptors in the selected databases, restricting the bibliographic productions close to the study theme. In addition, data were collected on the general characterization of the ILPI the number of available and occupied places, the general profile of the elderly (gender, age group, marital status), characterization of who searched for the place and the reason for the search. These data were organized in spreadsheets in Excel and application of simple statistics. The results indicate 154 scientific productions, of which 116 articles and 38 productions referring to theses and dissertations. 32 were excluded due to duplicity and 119 because they did not address the research topic, resulting in 3 scientific articles. There was a total of 26 ILPI, 16 in the city of Araraquara and 10 in São Carlos. In addition, it was observed that some of them offer vacancies for the option of Day Center for Elderly (CDI). 214 job search files were registered, 37 in São Carlos and 177 in Araraquara. Of these, 133 (62%) were for women and 81 (38%) for men. Most of the elderly are aged 80 and over (114; 53.3%), widowed marital status (58.9%). Most of the applicants are family members (daughters, 88; 41.12%), female (150; 70%), between 50 and 59 years old (56; 26%), married (138; 64.48%). Regarding the reasons for seeking vacancies in the institutions, two dimensions were classified, family (152; 71%) and elderly (51; 24%). In both, the category "qualified care" stood out, being for the family (128; 60%) and for the reason of "caregiver without qualification" (100; 47%). For the elderly dimension, the category "qualified care" indicated 27 (13%) for the highlighted reason "you cannot take care of yourself" (27; 13%). In the search for a place at the LTCF, the requests in evidence were for qualified care and socialization (67.5% and 9.5% respectively), while vacancies for CDI were the highlight for socialization (15; 71.4%). Conclusion: The profile of the elderly seeking a vacancy is predominantly female, aged over 80 years, widowed and partially dependent. Regarding those who sought the position, most of them were the daughters because of the need for qualified care for the elderly. The frailty of the elderly and a greater request for the type of care at the ILPI were identified. The search for CDI in the ILPI environment may indicate weaknesses in the understanding of the type of services, or the absence of these types of services in the municipality, signaling demands for part-time care attention that favors keeping the elderly person as long as possible with his family and greater support for family members.

Fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion system, that holds the promise for clean and sustainable energy source. During the operation, this device generates electricity direct from electrochemical reactions between electrodes and electrolyte. The limiting half-cell oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) that takes place at cathode is kinetically sluggish and needs catalysts to overcome the thermodynamic limitations by increasing the rate of catalytic ORR. So far, platinum Pt-based catalysts have been proven the best electrocatalyst, however, they suffer with high cost, poor stability, and limited reserves in the Earth’s crust, restricting their use for commercial purpose. In this context, the search for metal-free carbon nanomaterials have emerged as an alternative to the counterpart Pt-based catalysts, especially owing to excellent electrical conductivity, large surface area, good stability, and low cost. This dissertation compiles the research work on heteroatom doped (single and co-doped) carbon catalysts for ORR electrocatalysis in alkaline medium. For the preparation of doped carbon nanomaterials, the conductive polymers, for example polyaniline (PANI), poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and polythiophene (PTH) were chosen as the precursors and sequentially polymerized by oxidative polymerization method onto silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) nanospheres followed by carbonization process. The selection of conductive polymers to obtain doped carbon nanomaterials was based on the following reasons: low-cost monomers; presence of heteroatom in the monomer unit, and intrinsic conductivity. By selecting an appropriate synthetic route for the preparation of conductive polymers coated on the templates (SiO2 and Si3N4), we produced high surface area, abundant mesoporous, and intrinsically doped carbon nanomaterials with ORR activity in alkaline medium.

With the intensification of the use of social media, many companies have used digital influencers to disseminate their brands. However, in recent years there has been an increase in crises caused by these professionals, generating moments of discomfort for brands. Because of this, this article focused on analyzing how companies that hire digital influencers position themselves in the face of crises caused by them, in addition to assessing how the public judges such positioning. The results of the research showed that the companies carried out similar positions and that these positions resulted in different impacts on the public, being possible to classify the opinion in: Manifestation of Positive Support, Manifestation of Loyalty, Manifestation of Purchase Intention and Manifestation of Cancellation.

This research investigates the relationship between transformations in the institutional environment and the processes of reconfiguration and differentiation of the internal structures of organizations. This is done by articulating sociological institutionalism in organizational analysis and the approach to organizational processes developed by Karl Weick. The investigation is associated with the context of current national affirmative action policies for diversity and inclusion and their impacts at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). Actions seeking to promote diversity and inclusion in higher education gained strength internationally since the 1960s, being associated with the restructuring of the ideological bases of capitalism. In Brazil, these trends culminated in the approval of Federal Law Number 12.711/12, which establishes the Vacancy Reserve Law and also Law 13.409/16, which determines the reservation of vacancies for people with disabilities in technical and higher education courses in the federal network education. It seeks to understand how this transformation in the institutions boosted the performance of certain internal groups of the institution and how these groups led the creation of new organizational areas, negotiating their relations and spaces with the existing structures. As a method, documentary analyzes were used, as well as data obtained through semi-structured interviews with organizational actors who are or were part of UFSCar, in sectors linked to issues of diversity and inclusion. The relationship between environmental issues of diversity and the change in the university's internal structure resulted in the adoption of a new order, based on the equal right of access and the construction of an area that became evident and culminated with a specialized secretary: SAADE.
