Conclusion: the health teams that participated in the present study identify the need for a therapeutic plan, however, they do not have a specific decision-making and therapeutic plan for the frail persons within the Family Health Unit.
Proposta de avaliação dos procedimentos de execução de fachadas argamassadas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Dourado, Gustavo Henrique de Oliveira; Serra, Sheyla Mara Baptista; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8528385567782505; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1277346180690158
The facades are a complex building system and require a multidisciplinary study and can be a source of waste, pathological manifestations, and accidents at work. These problems may be mitigated with detailed knowledge of the service's development and a production project to carry out this phase. In this work, seven procedures will be compared to the external cladding execution service in concrete structural masonry buildings, identified from the bibliography on the subject. The particularities of the execution of the service in three different buildings will be discussed. As support for data collection in the field, an evaluation protocol was developed to identify and discuss mortar facades' execution practices. The results demonstrated a diversity of best practices and relative compliance with the procedures for carrying out this service. The service's conformity was evaluated based on the proposal of a schematic model that allowed comparing and scoring the service concerning the more significant similarity concerning the subject literature. The proposed protocol proved to be simple and easy to be applied, becoming a tool of quality management of this service. Companies must standardize processes and look for alternatives and equipment that guarantee efficiency, productivity, and safety for workers in their respective services.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Pardo, Caio Gomes Leo; Mergulhão, Ricardo Coser; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0598720328915137
This study aims to propose a model for integrating the Balanced Scorecard with Business Intelligence through an analysis of the literature on the topic and subsequent suggestion of steps for building and using both tools together. The literature on the association of BSC and BI focuses on the advantages and consequences of integration, as well as particular characteristics of applications in specific contexts. The study described here focuses on the possible competitive advantages of using an integrated system and the complementary aspects between the tools. For the literature review, the systematic review method has been used, which includes: the planning stage, which defines the terms that will be searched in the databases; the driving stage, when the search expressions are built; and finally, the results, which consists on making a list of the texts found. Subsequently, a theoretical framework has been constructed with the main contributions of the texts resulted from the review. Based on the readings performed and the theoretical framework, the main objective has been constructed: the definition of the steps to be followed for the structuration of an integrated system that achieves the advantages indicated considering more generic contexts.
Implemento de trator para auxílio na poda de brotos de árvore em altura
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Napolitano, Pedro; Barbosa, Gustavo Franco; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4027686840017498; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9976347876736440
Due to growing concerns about the environment, consumption of legal timber relies on so-called reforestation timber, whose origin is from planted trees for this specific need. In order to make this plantation more efficient and profitable, one of the commonly used procedures is sprout (new and small branches) pruning. While the trees are shorter than 5 meters, the process can be done using special shears or saws with extenders. However, after they grow beyond this point, pruning becomes dependent on high-cost and high-complexity agricultural implements. Thus, there is the possibility of developing a new mechanism that establishes itself in the middle of this spectrum, meeting the current demand. In the face of this need, this project contemplates the conception of an integrated solution, made of simple commercial elements that are already available in the market, such as telescopic extenders and circular saw. The arrange will allow the development of the project of a semiautomatic implement whose function is to help sprouts pruning in greater heights, being simple and accessible financially. Therefore, an operator is capable of choosing which sprouts need to be cut and perform the procedure in variable heights until 12 meters with the aid of an accessible, simple and functional equipment.
Diretoras brasileiras e a representação da mulher em documentários dos anos 1980
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Esperança, Hanna Henck Dias; Araújo, Luciana Sá Leitão Corrêa de; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9890886509956837; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7603418128688152
In the 1980s, women occupied a significant portion of the making of short and medium-length documentaries in Brazil, with a very diverse production in terms of narrative and language. In view of the small amount of research on the aforementioned films and the difficulty of accessing the relevant data and movies, this work aims to contribute toward making this production find greater repercussion and recognition in the field of studies devoted to Brazilian cinema. Through film analysis and with texts from many different areas, we discuss eight documentaries that vary between short and medium-length films: "Mulheres da terra" (Marlene França, 1985), "Marias da castanha" (Edna Castro and Simone Raskin, 1987), "Sulanca: a revolução econômica das mulheres de Santa Cruz do Capibaribe" (Kátia Mesel, 1986), "Como um olhar sem rosto (As presidiárias)" (Maria Inês Villares, 1983), "Mulheres da Boca" (Cida Aidar and Inês Castilho, 1982), "Retratos de Hideko" (1981) e "Hia sá sá – hai yah" (1985), both by Olga Futemma, and "Meninas de um outro tempo" (Maria Inês Villares, 1986). These films put in perspective the female representation in the documentary and the role of women in society, articulating the feminist, social, political and cinematographic debate of the time.
Projeto de um sistema embarcado de aquisição de dados com implementação e testes de sistema de telemetria
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Bocci, Emanuel Damasceno; Aroca, Rafael Vidal; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9262228584082064; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3968135629287856
Extension projects are a great gateway to the development of science and engineering in the university environment. The Baja SAE project is no different, as it allows different fields of engineering to be put to the test for the creation of an off-road vehicle that has the best possible performance, requiring, therefore, a great effort around the study and application of various engineering concepts. And in this context, the electronic project has a fundamental role, not only in the creation of a data acquisition system to measure the final performance of the car, but also serving as a support for the entire mechanical design, providing data through instrumentation of the subsystems for their optimization and improvement. This work aims to present the entire process of development of the electronic data acquisition system that uses an internal communication protocol and a telemetry system by the Baja team at the Federal University of São Carlos, through the use of some types of sensors for reading vehicle information, and then processing and present all of them for the evaluation of the car's performance in tests and during competitions organized by SAE Brasil. In addition to the studies related to the important themes of the subject of this work, the technologies used in each stage are also addressed, methodologies for the design of each measurement subsystem, the structure of the internal communication with the CAN automotive communication protocol, tests with the LoRa radio frequency for the implementation of telemetry seeking to define a data transmission over a greater distance compared to modules used in previous studies in the defined mobility application, and the development of the interface that presents the information in a more easy and intuitive way for the team in the box. The end result was the design of a robust system, which includes hardware and software, capable of obtaining and processing all the information necessary for the evaluation of the vehicle, sending in real time all the information to the team, and with the potential for its evolution and improvement, by adding new sensors or changing the ones already used.
Rigidez arterial no diabetes mellitus: avaliação vascular discriminativa e sua associação com aptidão cardiorrespiratória
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Monteiro, Clara Italiano; Simões, Rodrigo Polaquini; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2731345085062145; Mendes, Renata Gonçalves; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9634590922242052; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9550771341156468
Arterial stiffness (AS) is considered a marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and has an accelerated process in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to several factors. The gold standard measure of AS is the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) although other variables, such as the augmentation index (AIx), have been used as an alternative measure for this evaluation. Despite the importance of AS, there is still a need for more evidence in specific populations and at higher cardiovascular risk as in T2DM. Although some studies have established reference values for cfPWV in different populations, individuals with T2DM have been excluded from the analyzes and thus the identification of a specific cutoff point for this population can be very clinically useful for greater precision in the estimation of CVD risk. In view of this gap, the first study was accomplished with the suggestion of a preliminary cutoff value of cfPWVfor this population in order to improve the identification of the AS outcome, as well as to observe the discriminative characteristics. In addition, it is known that the vascular system is an important component and is closely related to performance in physical exercise and, consequently, to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), which is known to be impaired in individuals with T2DM. Therefore, following this reasoning, the second study investigated the association between AS variables and CRF assessed by oxygen uptake and the oxygen uptake efficiency slope obtained through the cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill. In conclusion, it is possible to understand a little more about AS in individuals with T2DM and, more specifically, to suggest an indicative of discriminative value for cfPWV as well as to identify the association of AS with CRF. These results can assist the clinical and rehabilitative management of the population of individuals with T2DM considering potential risks and subsequent cardiovascular health care.
Hidrogenação de CO2 a produtos com dois ou mais átomos de carbono: catalisadores promissores, desafios e perspectivas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Bueno, Leonardo Martins Silveira; Gomes, Janaina Fernandes; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6718634914051168; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9574361626072059
The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 has been intensively studied, since it is one of the most promising ways to use carbon from the atmosphere. Compared to CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, the synthesis of ethanol or other higher alcohols is much more challenging, since it requires the formation of a C-C bond and the retention of a C-O bond, however ethanol has a greater energy density than methanol. This work presents a bibliographic review of the recently published works about the hydrogenation of CO2 to ethanol and higher alcohols, the advances and barriers found and perspectives to be explored in the future. Several materials have been investigated for the catalysis of CO2 to ethanol, we can highlight Cu-based catalysts, noble metal catalysts and Co based catalysts. The Zr12-bpdc-CuCs catalyst presented the best result, with high selectivity to ethanol and CO2 conversion, more than 99% and 96%, respectively, at 100 °C. The Cu @ Na-Beta catalyst has also shown good selectivity to ethanol, 79%, however, the ethanol conversion was 18% and the operation temperature was higher, 300 °C. The CuII(HxPO4)y@Ru-UiO and Pd-Fe3O4 catalysts, although exhibiting a selectivity to ethanol greater than 95%, presented a very low CO2 conversion, less than 1%. The Au-TiO2 and PdCu-TiO2 catalysts, which operated in batches at 200 °C, also showed high selectivity to ethanol, greater than 90%, but no data on CO2 conversion were reported. Although most studies are carried out in packed bed reactors (PBR), the best results were obtained in batch. The main challenges to be overcome are low selectivity to higher alcohols, low catalyst stability and/or low CO2 conversion. In addition, for the process to be environmentally sustainable, it is necessary that renewable sources of hydrogen are used.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Vasco, Lucas Pimenta; Camargo, Heloisa de Arruda; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0487231065057783; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4304143156783753
Financial time series forecasting is one of the most researched artificial intelligence applications by financial market analysts, both in the academic and corporate world. Within this area, there is a great emphasis on the prediction of stock values, mainly due to the possibility of profitability. One of the most used techniques to make this type of prediction is the application of artificial neural networks. This work is focused on one of the classes of artificial neural networks, the recurrent neural networks. Three types of architecture in this area are used: the Vanilla Recurrent Neural Network (VRNN) model, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model. Throughout this paper, models of each of these architectures are created for three different stocks of the Brazilian stock exchange, namely the stocks from Grupo Fleury (FLRY3), Petrobras (PETR4) and Vale (VALE3). The models created for each of the stocks make a prediction of the value of those stocks, and the results are compared to each other with the intention of evaluating which model predicts the values closest to the real values. The accuracy measures used in this work are the mean absolute error and the mean square error. In the end, it was concluded that the GRU and LSTM models obtain similar results, with a slightly better performance from GRU, and VRNN was able to detect patterns in the data, but not as accurately as the other two.
Evaluation of the composition of electronic waste hard disk using spectroanalytical techniques: proposition of fast and simple methods
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Castro, Jeyne Pricylla de; Pereira Filho, Edenir Rodrigues; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3394181280355442; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6327313723314696
The electronic waste is a worldwide problem of great magnitude with 53.6 Mt of waste generated in 2019. Unfortunately, the recycling rate is still very low. It is estimated that only 2% of the electronic waste is recycled in Brazil, being a situation far from ideal. There are many factors that can influence recycling, being the complexity of these materials a critical aspect. Therefore, the analytical chemistry can assist in all this process, optimizing and developing new methods. The purpose of this thesis was the development of characterization procedures of high-performance magnets and printed circuit board samples from hard disk of computer. Three analytical techniques were used: Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES), Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WD XRF). So, softer reference methods were developed using ICP OES, where the results were used to the proposition of methods more quick, simple and “green” using the techniques of direct analysis of solids (LIBS and WD XRF). In this context, different calibration approaches were studied and, in this thesis was proposed a new strategy named by two-point calibration transfer (TP CT). In addition, parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was used for the first time in the characterization of spectra LIBS from the analysis of printed circuit board, being a promising approach for the LIBS technique.
Análise de toxicidade do metilparabeno no crescimento do Ricciocarpus natans sob diferentes concentrações e temperaturas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Sanches, Julia Romano; Santino, Marcela Bianchessi da Cunha; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2356641063223397; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4596700594356117
Methylparaben is an antimicrobial preservative widely used in formulations for personal care products and cosmetics. However, this compound is not monitored at sewage treatment plants, being considered as an emerging contaminant. The modeling of the primary production of macrophyte with phytoremediation potential constitutes both a management tool and an ecological contribution to assess effectiveness of the species in decontaminating aquatic environments. In the aquatic systems, different species of macrophytes with different life forms have been used in toxicity studies. Its contamination, bioaccumulation and death show an environmental problem, since methylparaben is widely used as a preservative compound in personal care products and cosmetics. In the municipality of São Carlos - SP, methylparaben has been analyzed in water from streams, rivers, and treatment plants, in addition to studies of its toxic effect on aquatic organisms, but research on the effect of the preservative on macrophytes is still scarce. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of four concentrations of methylparaben on the growth of the floating aquatic macrophyte Ricciocarpus natans, which were incubated at two temperatures simulating the winter/dry and summer/rainy periods. In total, 420 individuals were collected, of which 210 remained at 16ºC and 210 at 23ºC. The treatments were distributed in four concentrations of methylparaben (0.05%, 0.15%, 0.40% and 0.80%) for both temperatures. For 60 days, once a week, the length, width, and biomass of the individuals were measured. The concentrations of 0.40% and 0.80% interfered substantially in the growth once the individuals died after the third experimental week. At the 0.15% concentration, although there were differences between the growth indicators, we concluded that there was interference in the growth of individuals. However, at a concentration of 0.05%, methylparaben did not interfere with the growth of R. natans. When analyzing the temperature alone, it was found that the growth coefficient of the individuals was 15.39% higher at 23ºC (simulating the summer season). Thus, the hypothesis of this study that considered the negative effect of the presence of methylparaben in the growth medium of R. natans can be corroborated for the concentration 0.15%.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Toledo, Renato Antonelli; Venezuela, Antonio Luís; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8722224671269332; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9070428960119259
This work dealt with the elaboration, structuring and application of a didactic sequence, through remote classes, which proposed the teaching of financial mathematics to high school students through contextualized exercises that sought to develop mathematical literacy, financial education, personal entrepreneurship and the opportunity to be protagonists in decision-making. The first meeting addressed the topic of personal entrepreneurship and percentage. In the second meeting, the theme of money was worked on, with its historical facts and its current form. Also in that same meeting, compound interest was worked through the insertion of the student body in financial contexts of people's daily lives, enabling learning. The third meeting addressed financial education and constant payment series through exercises taken from e-commerce ads and adapted to facilitate learning in the current context. In the fourth meeting, the domestic budget was worked on, favoring the application of the acquired knowledge, where the analysis of income and expenses was essential for the success of the proposed budget, seeking through an exercise, to mirror the reality experienced by a middle class family. In the fifth meeting, financial planning was worked through theory and its structuring, through mathematical calculations and a change in mentality. Since the second meeting, mathematical calculations were checked using an electronic and financial calculator that students downloaded, free of charge on their cell phones. In all meetings, a video conference application was used, a program that created slides, a group conversation application and a financial calculator application, both for smartphones. The results obtained attested that significant learning took place that gave students the ability to apply the concepts covered in real situations.
Análise Comparativa entre Sistemas Construtivos de Laje Nervurada em Concreto Armado moldado no local em Edifícios Comerciais
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Beseggio, Breno Oscar Chaves; Almeida Filho, Fernando Menezes de; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0447825383222965; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5178897769914113
Slabs are fundamental in the structure of a building, in addition to being responsible for a large part of the consumption of materials and consequently of the cost of an enterprise. The emergence of new construction systems for ribbed slab became necessary to study them to enable an improvement of civil construction projects. This work aimed to be a comparative theoretical study between reinforced concrete slab construction systems molded on site in order to find the most suitable system for a commercial building. Among the construction systems of ribbed slab studied are the traditional ribbed slab, bubbledeck slab and holedeck slab, using solid slab as a reference. First, the specificities of each construction system were identified, paying attention to the construction methodology and the elements necessary for its execution. Then, slab cases with different spans, from 5.0 meters to 10.0 meters, were defined and dimensioned for the studied construction systems. The calculations were performed in an Excel® table according to ABNT NBR 6118: Design of concrete structures - procedure. The consumption of materials, own weight and height of the slab for each case studied was analyzed and it was concluded that the traditional ribbed slab proved to be the most suitable construction system for commercial buildings, as it reduced the average consumption of concrete by 48% and steel consumption by 8% in relation to solid slab, the average consumption of formwork increased only by 84%, in addition to decreasing in average self-weight by 48%, also in relation to solid slab, the height of the slab was shown be constantly smaller when compared to the bubbledeck and holedeck construction systems.
Discursos de professoras sobre os corpos de meninas e meninos na Educação Infantil
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Carvalho, Letícia Romero de; Lombardi, Lucia Maria Salgado dos Santos; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5697508831302188; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7866285322858783
The object of this research is the teachers' speeches about the bodies of girls and boys in Early Childhood Education. Its objectives were to understand how this dimension is present in the school space, specifically in Early Childhood Education, and discover whether there have been times of awareness in teachers´ education about the importance of working on the topic. Qualitative research, of bibliographic character, verified the importance of thinking about gender and sexuality issues since early childhood in the school space, because the school is an environment that can both promote social ties that perpetuate prejudice and accentuate the power relations essential for the maintenance of a patriarchal and sexist society or place of respectful education and contrary to the construction of prejudices. In addition to conducting the bibliographic survey, a questionnaire was applied with three teachers from a Child Education Center (CEI) in the city of Sorocaba, S.P. It was verified the need for an education that contemplates the discussion on the construction of gender roles in childhood and that broadens the view of professionals in Early Childhood Education for young children and their relationship with themselves and with others, understanding the range of possibilities that exist in “being feminine” and “being masculine”.
Letramento literário na bebeteca: a importância da contação de histórias nas creches para o desenvolvimento dos bebês
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Barboza, Monica de Oliveira Medeiros; Souza, Geraldo Tadeu; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3516168011612531; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8137416724452114
This course conclusion work aims to identify and understand the contributions of the bebeteca to reading and literary literacy in the development of babies in daycare centers. This is a bibliographical and documentary research that seeks to understand the readings in the daycare center, focusing on the mediation between babies, children's books and their mediators, knowing the reasons for such reading and the importance of literary literacy for babies from zero to one year and six months. With regard to this theme, I introduce the concepts of childhood and babies throughout the history of Brazil, as well as bring information about the emergence of daycare centers, pondering about some legislative advances and how they enable better baby development. Later, I reflect on the importance of reading in a day care center and how this practice influences babies' learning, reading and communication.Finally, I problematize literary literacy in bebetecas, exploring storytelling that can improve babies' first experiences with language and reading.In this sense, the research enables us to understand the importance of literary literacy since birth, starting from meaningful and respectful practices for babies, in addition to contributing to the mediating teacher and his repertoire of practices.
Estudo de massas de porcelanato esmaltado contendo filito como fundente
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Brasileiro, Camila Tavares; Dondi, Michele; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4617859135105539; Boschi, Anselmo Ortega; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3259846931278607; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9731753452170666
The production of ceramic tiles is growing worldwide and Brazil is the third-largest producer in the world. Porcelain tiles represent a significant fraction of this production and the trend is for significant growth in the market for this type of product in the coming decades. This scenario is marked by the increasing demand for raw materials. However, the progressive depletion of the main deposits of feldspar leads the ceramic industry to look for substitutes for this flux. A considerable part of the Brazilian industry, for several reasons, has already replaced feldspar, traditionally used as a fluxing agent, with phyllite, consisting basically of quartz, kaolinite, and sericite. Brazil is the only country that uses phyllite in the glazed porcelain masses. This gives the Brazilian industry an important competitive advantage in this segment. However, as other producers use feldspar, there are practically no studies on the effects of replacing feldspar with sericite in glazed porcelain tiles compositions. Initial studies showed very significant differences in the behavior of glazed porcelain masses containing the same content of feldspar and phyllite during firing. Based on this, the objective of this thesis was to identify how the mineral through which the fluxing ions are introduced into the porcelain composition affects its behavior during firing. In an unprecedented way, this work formulates a feldspar composition with the same flux content as the phyllite (synthetic phyllite with feldspar) with the same chemical composition and assesses its implications. The search for explanations for the observed differences was based mainly on the volume and characteristics of the liquid phase developed at high temperatures. The results showed that 1) the liquid phases produced by the fusion of sericite and feldspar play a central role in explaining the differences in behavior during heating, 2) the origin of the differences is mainly in the transformations that occur between 950 and 1150 ºC, e) differences at relatively low temperatures are also explained by the effect of granulometry.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Bernardino, Mariana Lara; Driusso, Patricia; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8898319491890063; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2440225804905049
Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by pelvic or abdominal pain associated with menstrual period and menstruation. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Brazilian women. Methods: Preparation of a questionnaire containing 38 questions and a final where participants could leave questions or suggestions. This questionnaire was placed on an online platform and disseminated through social media. Women who were in the period between menacme and menopause and who had menstruated in the last three months were included. Results: The sample of 10,070 women found that 81.7% of them were aged between 18 and 30 years. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in the last month was 90.7%, with mild (29.1%), moderate (40.4%) and severe (21.2%) pain. Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea had a high prevalence in the group of women studied, higher than in studies carried out in other countries. Even with a predominance in the Southeast region, this study managed to cover women from all regions of Brazil.
Análise da compacidade e da dispersão urbana de Araraquara-SP: um instrumento de diagnóstico e cartografia social do vazio urbano
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-12-17) Pierini, Cláudio Robert; Falcoski, Luiz Antonio Nigro; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3200660670856698; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0741399727797042
Studies on compact cities have aroused the increasing interest of researchers worldwide. This relevance, controversies and diversity of the point of view create opportunities to deepen research that seekto elucidate the positive and/or negative aspects in the implementation of this analytical model. In this work, the objective is to demonstrate whether the urban area of the municipality of Araraquara has in fact become more compact and/or dispersed from urban instruments inducing the management of the planning and social function of the property, provided for in the master plans in a historical period. For this verification, the rates of compactness and dispersion are calculated, requiring this to access and produce some variables such as urban perimeters approved by law, calculation of different urban areas surrounded by perimeters, urban voids, allotments and their approvals, distances from these in relation to the center, population and densities. This data, when not available in municipal electronic sites of access to information, can be extracted remotely with the aid of the QGIS geoprocessing tool, which generates information and maps with scales and distances in a reliable manner. As a result, the rates of compactness and dispersion are related to changes in the urban perimeter and the approvals of allotments in regions far from centrality, even though there are economic urban voids in areas closer to the center and that present capacity for occupation and consolidated infrastructure. Since Araraquara is a very compact city and not dispersed by the indicators presented, attention should be directed to the mobility and transport system, which have sought to reproduce the movement of little or low compactness started in the mid-1970s, and which although controlled from 2001 with the instruments of the City Statute, impacts the costs of providing this services and urban infrastructure, mainly by the increasing distances. Finally, all the work carried out for the urban area of Araraquara opens possibilities for the creation of an observatory and social cartography of urban voids for other Brazilian municipalities to calculate the rates of compacity-dispersion, aiming to instrumentalize processes of application of urban reform instruments and social function of property for fairer, compact and sustainable cities.

Classification algorithms take their decisions according to a learning process on the training set. Therefore, the data to be classified in the test set must have the same distribution as the training set to be correctly identified. Nowadays, industrial and enterprise applications generate a huge amount of data streams, such as sensor network data, and call records, among others. Also, with the new technologies being developed in internet services, data can stream from diverse domains, including internet transactions and web searches. These data streams present characteristics that traditional data mining methods have to deal with, which are databases with high volume and susceptible to concept drift, which refers to a non-stationary learning problem over time, i.e., the classifier of a certain problem may not be suitable as time goes by for being "outdated." This occurs because a concept may change over time. For example, a reader might like news articles on "sports"; but over time your reading preference may change to "economy" and the previous topic becomes irrelevant, i.e., the concept of an article relevant to this reader has changed. The present research proposes the study of Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier in dynamic environments, both in supervised approach (using some methods to deal with concept drift as data windows and decision committees) as in the unsupervised approach, and we conducted experiments on databases observed in the literature.

Based on an experience of living for three months in a community for people with intellectual disabilities, the present work is composed of reflections and questions about the way individuals put themselves in the world, more specifically with regard to their use of masks to hide themselves and expose just what they want. Such questioning arose from the perception, taken by the author based on the coexistence and relationships built with people with atypical development in the community, that they have less masks than those with typical development. To explore this issue, the concept of persona is used, as formulated by the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. As a result of the research, questions are presented about the way we relate in society.
