The contribution of multi-storey garage buildings to the provision of parking in modern cities, derived from maximizing the use of urban space associated with its verticalization, can be optimized by adopting the construction system associated with the most appropriate building implementation. The characteristics of this type of construction indicate that the most industrialized structural systems present themselves with high synergy of application, highlighting the precast concrete. Knowing that the analysis of the structural system that makes up the floor slab can generate significant knowledge about material consumption and the general characteristics associated with the execution of a project, since this component has a high proportion in the building's volume, this work arises with the intention of a comparative analysis between slab composition systems composed of pre-molded prestressed honeycomb and section TT panels, in order to generate a quantitative base of the indexes associated with these options and the verification of the most appropriate structural system for application, from the realization of the structural design of the same type of garage building, considering the other study hypotheses.

Since the invention of writing several techniques were created related to it and also reading. One of these was metaphorically described by Seneca in his Epistles. According to this philosopher’s understanding, reading and writing can be compared to the “bees”’ work, which collect pollen, from flower to flower, to make honey. Similarly to the bees’ pollen collecting, readers read and select the best texts and posteriorly the best phrases from such texts, gathering and regrouping them into notebooks. Thus, having their readings’ best “material” at hand, those readers could make the good quality “final product”, as their own written texts or oral speeches. In the long term, many were the subjects of different cultures that dedicated themselves to this task of establishing procedures and guidelines, as well as using these procedures related to text reading and phrase collection aiming to produce other texts, oral or written, for distinct purposes, being those texts either from the same genre and field of those where phrases were collected, or very distinct. In this thesis, we dedicate ourselves to analyze and describe some specificities in the appropriation of this reading and writing technique, by relevant brazilian intellectuals, from the second half of 19th century and first half of 20th century, namely, the jurist Rui Barbosa and sociologist Florestan Fernandes, as evidenced in their “notebooks”. To compose our notes corpus from these two intellectuals, we resorted to the collections “Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa” and “Fundo Florestan Fernandes”, which get together documents, works and objects from these intellectuals. We selected, from their collections, 3 (three) notebooks from each author, all classified and available in the “produção intelectual” series. For that material’s analysis, we lean on Discourse Analysis and Cultural History’s principles and concepts. As any other cultural object, these notebooks point to discourses and representations that are in their production’s origin and determination of existence's cultural conditions. Rui Barbosa and Florestan Fernandes are subjects from a time-space and consequently are subject to the discourses and representations shared with their contemporaries. Those representations have a history, are socially and culturally determined by what the subjects know, believe, enunciate and practice. The way they read, select phrases, preserve them, collect and classify them, how they write their texts and constitute their works is greatly due to discourses and representations about what is reading, writing, what is to be an intellectual, writer, author in their time and in our society. Because of this reason, in spite of the similarities they present, these intellectuals differ in the technique’s usage and the ends and usages in their end-texts. One essential difference between them lies in the support given by themselves to those annotations: Rui Barbosa prefers loose pages; Florestan Fernandes the notebooks. Also, we observed that Rui Barbosa is “less organized”, more speculative, more literary in his phrase selection and how these are collected; Florestan Fernandes is “more organized”, more systematic, more didactic with this legacy.

The link between braid groups on surfaces and crystallographic groups has become such an interesting topic. In the last years some advances were found in the studies of this relation, specially in the case of Artin braid groups and braid groups on closed surfaces (orientable or non-orientable). Our thesis work was strongly inspired by the works in [39] and [42], since here we finish the last cases about surfaces, to which we could ask: is there a relation between braid groups on surfaces and crystallographic groups? Here we analyse, with details, the interaction between braid groups on closed surfaces (orientable or non-orientable) with a finite number of points removed and crystallographic groups. Let X be a closed and finitely punctured surface (orientable or non-orientable). We present new results when X is a closed and finitely punctured surface (orientable or non-orientable) that has a link with crystallographic groups. We prove that the quotient group $B_n(X)\P'_n(X)$ is a crystallographic group, we characterize the finite order elements, i. e., we analyse its torsion subgroup and study the conjugacy classes of the finite order elements. When X is a non-orientable closed and finitely punctured surface with genus $g \geq 2$, we calculate a presentation for the braid groups $P_n(X)$ and $B_n(X)$. In the case of $Pn(X)$, we couldn't find any other presentation in the literature.

The world production of cocoa is in the order of a few million tons per year and is restricted to tropical areas such as Brazil, Indonesia and the West Africa, with emphasis on the Ivory Coast and Ghana. The intensive use of pesticides and other agricultural pesticides, contaminated water, mining, air pollutants and soil composition are factors that can potentially incorporate potentially harmful concentrations of metals such as lead, cadmium and nickel into cocoa trees and their products. The presence of contaminants in chocolate mainly affects children, who are major consumers of the product, as they absorb these metals more easily and are also more vulnerable to contamination. From the databases available in the literature, a neural network capable of estimating the lead concentration in chocolate bars was developed with aluminum and copper concentrations as inputs. The network was designed using the MatLab R2015a Neural Network toolbox, and the results obtained had a coefficient of determination of 0.9760 for the 61 points used in the training and 0.9846 for the 6 verification points, a satisfactory performance both in adjustment and generalization. Through the calculated weights and biases, it is possible with few calculations to estimate lead concentrations for chocolate samples with known aluminum and copper concentrations, an application with great potential for financial and operational savings for the cocoa derivatives industry.

The objective of this work is to reflect on the macro trends of environmental education (conservationist, pragmatic and critical) presented in the textbooks, having as object of study the sustainability handouts of the Sorocaba Municipal Secretariat of Education, used in the early years of elementary school. The methodology used for a qualitative analysis; documentary and bibliographic. The theoretical and methodological bases that inspire this work are from the macro trends of environmental education and of critical-transforming Environmental Education. The work highlights the role of Environmental Education: history, macro trends and hegemony, curricula and educational norms and category analysis. About the textbook, a survey addresses its history in Brazil, especially in the period of dictatorship until 2020, its financial, political, pedagogical and ideological costs. In the analysis of bankruptcy, the clipping of the booklet “Solid waste and consumption”, with the following categories of analysis: man's relations with nature, social equality, quality of life, raw materials and the State. We realize that the book is close to the pragmatic and conservationist view, as it aligns with aspects of individual blame, conservative values, individualistic and meritocratic attitudes, to the minimum state and generic solutions.

Democratic Management in Public Institutions of Higher Education (PIHE), in addition to resource management, provides for the interrelation of pedagogical management, access to the curriculum, spaces, conducts and cultural interactions. However, IPES has traditionally tended to subdivide and fragment their actions, distancing themselves from the perspective of accessibility, which encourages the cooperative interrelation of concrete and achievable elements and practices. Thus, the The present research aimed to identify, describe and analyze elements that (make up) the management democracy in the process of curriculum differentiation and accessibility in Education courses Superior of an PIHE in the state of São Paulo. This is a field study, with the participation of students with and without disabilities, teachers and managers and, based on institutional documents and legislation, is configured as a documentary study. The data were collected through interviews and observation, in addition to identification and systematization of documents. Therefore, it is a qualitative research and approached in the light of the analysis of content. The results of the study indicated the (de) construction of conceptions about disabilities and vocational training, as well as the identification of practical possibilities and positive attitudes. In addition, the elements identified and cooperatively discussed together with institutional managers, managers of undergraduate courses, teachers and students with and without disabilities, subsidized the legal recognition and institutionalization of the Curricular Differentiation and Accessibility (DAC) in the studied IPES. The present research suggests that the developments that DAC will make possible for Brazilian Higher Education should be carefully analyzed, from their planning to the transition of university students with deficiencies in the labor market, involving micro, meso, exo, chrono and macrocontext.

Population aging imposes demands on Brazilian cities in order to look at the needs of human beings from the perspective of old age. The number of elderly people living in urban areas has increased in recent decades. In addition, a good part of this age group is choosing or being led to live alone, a trend that will remain in the coming years, due to the increase in life expectancy and changes in family arrangements. Linked to this reality, human aging occurs in a heterogeneous way, resulting in different profiles of people in this stage of life. Optimizing the Functional Capacity of the elderly has been an important issue in public policies, due to its direct impact on independence and quality of life, providing healthy and active aging. According to this scenario, the adequacy of housing is urgent. Adequate housing is a constitutional right, which is not restricted to a roof and four walls, but highlights the gathering of other aspects, for example the good location, in order to enable the residents to meet their needs. Still, it is essential that housing is accessible, both physically and economically. It is up to the State to intervene through housing policies, to offer quality and safe housing to disadvantaged population groups, such as low-income elderly people. In the state of São Paulo, there are initiatives to respond to this demand. The Vila Dignidade Program has the purpose of offering housing in small villages, suitable according to the precepts of Universal Design, for independent, low-income elderly people who are alone. In this scenario, the objective of the study was to analyze whether the housing conditions of the Vila Dignidade de Araraquara Program reflect on the functional capacity of its beneficiaries. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative-qualitative research. Data collection was performed using the Brazilian Oars Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire (BOMFAQ) instrument and semi-structured interviews to obtain socioeconomic information and residents' perceptions. Data verification was performed through simple descriptive statistical analysis, and for qualitative ones, content analysis was used. The results indicated that the interviewees do not have a severe commitment to carry out daily activities, and that the reported difficulties are mainly related to health conditions and not directly to the built space of the condominium. Regarding the participants' perception of housing in Vila Dignidade, it was noted that the subjective aspects of adequate housing are well attended to in this public policy. However, problems in living conditions have been reported, such as slippery and brittle floors, which can compromise the Functional Capacity of the elderly, in addition to the effectiveness of this housing complex, whose final proposal is to prevent asylum.

This work makes a comparison between the existing methods for the calculation of minimum reinforcement in isolated rigid footing in reinforced concrete. After comparing results, a proposal for this calculation was presented. It is suggested that the minimum reinforcement should be equal to 7,20% of the maximum reinforcement, besides proposing a simplified equation for calculating the minimum reinforcement. The Brazilian standards NBR 6118: 2014, North American ACI 318-19 and European Eurocode 2, 2004 were analyzed. These bildings codes have no specific formulations for calculating the minimum reinforcement of the structural element footing, therefore was considered information regarding the structural beam element in reinforced concrete.

Sanitary and environmental conditions are essential to guarantee local development and promote health to the population. Thus, aspects such as the provision of treated water, collection and treatment of sanitary sewage, collection and final destination of solid waste, vector control, reduction of infant mortality and conditions of socioeconomic aspects. This work aimed to adapt the 1999 Environmental Health Indicator (ISA) method published by the São Paulo State Sanitation Council (CONESAN) and to apply Water Resources Management Unit (UGRHI) 13 in municipalities (Tietê Jacaré). The methodology included: a) collection of statistical data by digital platform; b) scraping (data scrapping) of statistical data and creation of a database with the collected information, c) elaboration for adaptations of indicators by 1st and 2nd degree equation, c) calculation of environmental health by the method adapted through of a fork (fork) of the ISA Calculator tool, made in Python. The municipalities selected for adapted ISA were those with less than 50 thousand inhabitants contained in UGRHI 13, which includes 34 municipalities. Thus, 28 municipalities met this criterion. Of these, 21 of them did not present information in the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS). For the remaining 7 municipalities, the adapted ISA calculation indicated that all reached a healthy situation (76

Known as the “hunger branch” and distinguished by its family farmers, the Southwest of São Paulo state is one of the least developed regions of the state. As part of a long history of poverty and social inequalities, the implantation of the Lagoa do Sino Campus of the Federal University of São Carlos in 2014 has represented an opportunity for the development of the region, being university extension among family farmers one of its pillars. Based on environmental anthropology and aiming to contribute to extensionism in the region, this dissertation brings out elements of productive history, practices, and traditional knowledge of its family farmers. Nine rural families from the municipalities of Angatuba, Buri and Campina do Monte Alegre have participated in this research. The fieldwork was carried out between October 2019 and January 2020, with a total of 27 visits to the properties and 22 people interviewed. The results bring to the light socioeconomic aspects of the region, the transformations in the local landscape, the productive strategies in the past and the present, as well as the traditional practices and knowledge among family farmers. The regional history of poverty and environmental degradation is related to a process of economic development that has always privileged the land property over the small producer. A pendular movement between diversification (1950-1980) and specialization (1980-2019) of productive strategies was also observed, which may shed light on the future of family farming in the region. It was also possible to show that traditional knowledge remains with some degree of complexity, playing a role in the productive strategies and decision-making of families. Its incorporation into extension projects may be one of the keys to the promotion of agriculture in the region as based on social justice, cultural valorization and environmental responsibility.

The research seeks to survey scientific productions produced from 2009 to 2019 starting with the publication of National Policies for Special Education from the perspective of Inclusive Education. The search took place within the databases of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Education (ANPEd) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), seeking to analyze, reflect and discover which publications relate the learning of Portuguese language by deaf people, as well as discover which publications bring pedagogical practices. In total, ten articles were published from 2009 to 2019. As a result, SciELO found only three publications that briefly contained some pedagogical practice that could contribute to the learning of the second language (as mentioned in Decree 5.626 / 05). In the ANPEd database only one publication. In total, four publications address educational issues. How others emphasize the challenges of inclusion / exclusion. They report the challenges of acquiring Sign Language as a first language and thus structuring for the learning of the Portuguese (written) language. Thus, it is clear that only public policies that guarantee the rights of deaf people are not enough. There must be structures that ensure that the legislation is actually enforced and the rights of deaf people are guaranteed, especially when the acquisition of the Portuguese language in written form is actually implemented.

Tim Berners-Lee proposed the Semantic Web for better information retrieval. In this context, there are the Linked Data principles through which the data connection on the Web is established which the main objective is to generate meaning to the Web pages. And, by utilizing, this causes with which the software agents and people could cooperate with each other to reach their goals in an efficient manner. The project consists of working with an initiative that is an example of the application of Linked Open Data, which is the Linking Open Data (LOD), which brings data published in linked data format. The research will focus on describing and analyzing the linguistic datasets present in this initiative. From this point, it is incited as a research problem: what is identified in the links and linguistic datasets in the Linking Open Data initiative? Focusing on this problem, the objective is to map the datasets corresponding to the ‘Linguistics’ category inserted in the Linking Open Data initiative. It is an exploratory and qualitative research and of a theoretical-applied nature, addressing as main theme the mapping of linguistic datasets in Linking Open Data. First, a theoretical and practical investigation was carried out on the identification of the linguistic data sets and the technologies used in the connection of these data; after the investigation was directed to the analysis of the Linguistics category of the Linking Open Data initiative. The results obtained show that types of datasets and technologies of the Semantic Web are found in each of the seven categories of linguistic data: Corpora; Lexicons and Dictionaries; Terminologies, Thesauri and Knowledge Bases; Linguistic Resource Metadata; Linguistic Data Categories; Typological Databases; Other. It is concluded that the Linking Open Data initiative satisfactorily fulfills its function, showing the viability of the open data connection, through the prescribed technologies. As for the linguistic data of such an initiative, it is noted that they are extremely relevant and employs the technologies according required in each category.

Scientific studies and statistical reports show that young people are living the most precarious paths in the world of work. To this population remains the deregulated work, including uberized work. The uberization process is one of the results of the flexible model of production, neoliberal rationality and the technological era. This process implies in the precariousness of the various life areas of the workers involved. The aim of this study was to understand the work reality of young people who perform informal or deregulated activities, as well as aspects related to their insertion and permanence in works of this type. The study followed the precepts of urban ethnography, used participant observation as a posture for insertion in the field as well as instruments for recording information such as field notebooks, questionnaires and audiovisual data. In-depth meetings are also held in this process. The participants were young food delivery working on digital platforms with 18-29 years old,. However, other informal jobs typically performed by young people were also analyzed during the ethnographic process. Data analysis followed the steps: a) Development of indexes; b) Preparation of titles and subtitles; c) Elaboration of the text. The results showed that the precocious, precarious, and destructive living conditions of young people are decisive in their insertion in the most diverse types of unregulated work. The institutions that support work and youth demonstrate many stereotypes about young workers and insufficient knowledge about their real-life situation, executing actions considered to be palliative, focused on professional education and entrepreneurship. It was possible to identify that due to their living and working conditions, uberized young workers experience problematic realities in the health, education and social relations. Thus, it is pointed out that the professions who acts in the field of work should provide an integral interdisciplinary and intersectoral care to these workers. This care should take place through the workers' health network, but also through the devices of education and social assistance, in conjunction with the legal agencies to support work and with representatives of social control, always considering the peculiarities of workers, including their age idiosyncrasies. The results helped to reflect on the need to expand Occupational Therapy practices in the field of work. Given the current situation, it is important that these practices, in addition to considering the real demands of workers in the various sectors and networks, have a political and critical character, in order to enable/facilitate access to information, awareness, social participation and the role of protagonist of these workers in the process of enabling their rights, as well as their collective articulations in favor of better working and living conditions.

Older adults tend to be underactive, which is a risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases, which are equally painful for the individual as they are costly to the public health system. Maintaining levels of physical activity throughout life is a motivational challenge. Digital tools have been used to change this pattern, such as smartphone apps to support physical activity; but in-depth research on personalization is lacking to drive sedentary behavior change, considering what end users really want. Objective: To propose the concept and design vision of a new mobile physical activity application (PAUL) used in urban areas. Method: A qualitative focus group study was carried out, involving by prototype co-design; 24 volunteers divided into 2 focus groups from two Brazilian cities: São Carlos - elderly people who are not users of an app for physical activity and Santos (adults over 35, app users). The following procedures were performed: (i) baseline assessments; (ii) a focus group (iii) develop activities with both groups to redesign the Prototype. Data analysis: Thematic content analysis was performed. Results: the development of physical activity applications in urban environments, for people over 35 years old, should consider the following resources: custom-made and customizable application. Younger adults prefer resources such as self-monitoring, goal setting and social influence. Older adults prefer a simple interface, with self-monitoring, goal setting and reminders. This study provided recommendations for translating motivational strategies theoretically embedded in functional elements that can guide the development of health interventions to engage urban residents in an active urban life.

Post-harvest rot has been responsible for losses by producers, a fact which has limited the commercialization of agricultural products for consumption in natura, fruits and vegetables. The fungus Alternaria alternata is the cause of black rot in post-harvest tomatoes; its control is carried out with fungicides, which contributes to the need for alternatives that present less risk to human health. In that context, yeasts have been studied as biological control agents in fruits. Considering the above, the objective of this research was to determine the potential of the yeasts Trichosporon asahii (3S44) and Torulaspora globosa (5S55) in the control of the fungus A. alternata in tomato fruits. The production of organic compounds volatile (VOCs) was evaluated using closed containers with the inoculated fruit with A. alternata spores, uncovered Petri dishes inoculated with T cells. asahii or T. globosa, and a gauze moistened with sterile distilled water. To the evaluation of yeast survival in the fruit wound, formulations with T. asahii or T.globosa and Tween 80 vehicles, saline, corn starch, colorless gelatin and sodium alginate were inoculated into the tomato wounds, and after 48 hours the portion of the injured region for dilution and plating. The control of the fungus by yeast in the fruit was evaluated by inoculating T. globosa cells in the wounds, and after 3 hours, spores of A. alternata. After 7 days, evaluations of the outer and inner diameter and qualitative assessments. As a result, it was observed in the test of volatile compounds the internal control of the progress of rot in the treatment with T. globosa and decreased spore production in the presence of T. asahii. O corn starch and the yeast Torulaspora globosa showed the best survival results of yeast in the fruit. In the in vivo test of fungus control, the treatment with the yeast T. globosa differed statistically from the control treatment both in relation to external and internal symptom, in addition to decreased production of mycelium. Therefore, the observed results showed that the yeast T. globosa has the potential to control the Alternaria alternata fungus in tomato fruits.

This research is the result of a University Extension course aimed at caring/educating at the daycare center. The course was created for professionals who work with babies and young children in a municipal daycare center in the city of São Carlos, SP. We hypothesize that University Extension can be an important opportunity for teacher education, especially for changing and expanding conceptions about teaching in the daycare center, with an emphasis on caring and education. How can a University Extension course contribute to the training of professionals working in early childhood education, especifically with regard to the meanings attributed by the participants about caring and education? This thesis proposes a University Extension Course to analyze how it contributes to the training of professionals working in this scenario. We adopted a theoretical framework on the themes of early childhood education, caring and teacher training. In the field of early childhood education, we rely on legislation, official documents and authors who discuss the bond and credit the child with rights, understanding pedagogical action as a shared activity. We anchor in references that understand teacher training as something permanent and contextualized. With a qualitative approach, the investigation was carried out based on a case study in the scope of intervention. The organization of this action took place in three stages: 1 - Characterization of the group, survey of training needs and initial understandings about caring/educating in early childhood; 2 - Intervention based on the needs presented in the first stage; 3 - Analysis of care/educating after the second stage. We adopted the focus group for the main analysis, with footage and transcriptions of images and audio. This research was conducted in a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education (CEMEI), having as participants the 25 professionals involved in the Extension course. Data organization was carried out through content analysis. These were organized into three thematic categories: “Understanding caring/educating in Early Childhood Education”; “Training of Professionals in Early Childhood Education in a University Extension Activity”; "Perspectives, reflections and understandings about caring/educating in Early Childhood Education". The results showed that initially the research participants understood the care in the daycare center associated with welfarism. Through participation in the University Extension course, they expanded their understanding on care/education as inseparable and anchored in human relations based on the affection, respect and listening of babies and young children. The University Extension proved to be a privileged opportunity for teacher education as a way to transform and improve their conceptions and practices. This researched proposed how to run an extension course, based on listening to teachers about their difficulties and demands, allowing them to reflect collaboratively on theories and practices. We intend to show that training is accomplished in context and that these professionals are historically situated subjects. That is why the partnership between university and the public education network is necessary and effective, providing quality education that cares/educates these professionals and that impacts teaching.
