This work describes the study of the formation of complexes between the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX-2) and some of its inhibitors. For this purpose, the known inhibitors celecoxib (CEL), rofecoxib (RCX) and Korean 21 and the ligand RJA4, a potential inhibitor, were evaluated in the studies. The activity of COX-2 can be blocked by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as CEL, RCX, among others. These drugs are known for their action in reducing inflammatory reactions, pain and fever, as well as their anticoagulatory effect when used in low doses, however, the first side effects detected were kidney failure, and peptic ulcer. The work was carried out using molecular docking simulations evaluating the possible capacity for selective COX-2 inhibition by the RJA4 compound, whose structure is similar to that of other COX-2 inhibiting drugs, generically known as coxibs. For the docking work, the protein with PDB code 5IKR, a crystallographic complex formed by the human COX-2 enzyme and the inhibitor mefenamic acid (ID8), was used. Docking studies were done using the same enzyme cavity occupied by mefenamic acid to position the studied compounds. The evaluation of the docking results was done by graphic analysis, first selecting poses (position, orientation and conformation) of the compounds at the site, and then the interactions between atoms of the ligands and that of the protein amino acids were evaluated: hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions and π interactions. It was observed that the π interaction of the ligands with Val523 deserves to be highlighted, a residue related to the specificity for COX-2. To obtain more details on this interaction computational calculations based on electronic density were also performed. The results indicate that the RJA4 compound is positioned similarly to the studied molecules (coxibs, Korean 21, ID8) making similar interactions with the COX-2 enzyme, which suggests that this compound may be a good inhibitor of COX-2. This is the starting point for further studies, whether theoretical, such as molecular dynamics, or in vitro, to experimentally determine the inhibitory potential of the studied molecule.

Syngnathidae includes seahorses, sea dragons and pipefishes, such as the species Microphis lineatus, which occurs in fresh, estuarine and marine waters off the Atlantic coast, from the USA to Brazil, and Pacific coast of Panama in the canal zone. It presents taxonomic uncertainty and is recognized as a species by some researchers and subspecies by others. Forty years ago, a clinal variation of three meristic data on the Brazilian coast was observed, with counts increasing in the north-south direction. The relatively small amount of material available at the time, however, hindered a better understanding of these clines. This study aimed to morphologically characterize M. lineatus in the Brazilian coast, making it possible to explore such clines with material accumulated in this period, in addition to providing subsidies for a future taxonomic review of the species. Seventeen morphometric and twelve meristic characters were taken from 209 specimens from six Brazilian ichthyological collections. The three characteristics with putative clines were corroborated (number of dorsal-fin rays, total number of subdorsal rings and number of tail rings). The symmetry analysis of the pectoral fins with the counting of their rays showed the absence of bilateral asymmetry in this characteristic. A new southern limit for the distribution of M. lineatus is proposed here: Rio Grande do Sul.

Electric steels are ferrous alloys with up to 3.5 wt.% Silicon in its composition, and with carbon concentrations around 20 ppm. They are materials with excellent magnetic properties, generally used in the manufacture of transformer cores, small and large electric motors and electricity meters. During its processing, electric steel is rolled into slab shape. Then, the material is subjected to a heat treatment in which the carbon inside it, initially at concentrations around 0.2% by mass, is extracted. Also, in this stage, a vitreous silica layer is formed on the surface of the sheets. Then, the material is coated with a suspension of caustic magnesia, and sent to a final annealing, in which the magnesia reacts with the silica layer previously formed, producing a forsterite film on the surface of the steel sheets. This film performs several important functions in the final product. For the formed forsterite film to have the appropriate characteristics for the application, the caustic magnesia used must have a series of properties in specific ranges. In the present work, it was verified what are the properties and the ranges of properties that a caustic magnesia must have to be used in this application. We also sought to produce a caustic magnesia with all these properties from products of the refractory company RHI Magnesita. In addition, we tried to test the developed products in electric steel manufacturers, to verify the possibility of starting a supply of the material to these manufacturers.

In Brazil, there are two important journals in the Special Education area, the Special Education Journal (REE) edited by the Federal University of Santa Maria, created in 1987; and the Brazilian Journal of Special Education (RBEE), created in 1993, maintained by the Brazilian Association of Special Education Researchers (ABPEE). Both are of extreme relevance for research in the Special Education area, increasing the quantity and qualifying the information about the theme. The present study aimed to perform a bibliographical survey of scholar inclusion of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Brazilian Journal of Special Education (RBEE) and Special Education Journal (REE) of Santa Maria published between 2000 and 2020. This research replicated and updated the Cabral and Marin (2017) study. The bibliographical survey utilized the electronic collect data in the Scielo website for RBEE and REE's own website. The evaluated period of RBEE refers to the volumes available online since 2005 in Scielo, and for REE since 2000 available online on the magazine's website. To search for studies, Portuguese words and combined with the Boolean descriptor “and”: Inclusion and School and Autism; Inclusion and School and Autism; School and Autism. A search was also made with the same combinations, but using the expression “autistic spectrum” instead of “autism”. Thirteen scientific research were selected. The studies analyzed were published in 2008 and between 2010 e 2020 (until the data collect, October of 2020), five studies published in RBEE (years 2008, 2010, 2014, 2016, and 2018) and eight studies published in REE (years 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020). Regarding the objectives, four studies investigated the conception of teachers about inclusive education and one of the family members; two studies carried out teacher training; three studies described strategies employed by teachers in working with students with autism, and one article described research on the schooling of people with ASD. Most of the participants were teachers, in total 352, and 25 family members. The number of participants in the studies ranged from one to 217 participants, with three studies had between one and two participants; three studies had between 4 and 12 participants; four studies had between 20 and 58 participants and one study had 217 participants. In general, studies have shown that one of the main factors for inclusion is to rethink the school with different pedagogical attitudes and practices, and also to offer training and specific support to teachers. Future research should invest in evaluating the effects of specific interventions for the development and learning of students with autism.

The process of choosing a soil retaining system for underground buildings is based on techniques and economics parameters. There are two very common soil retaining systems in Brazil: Diaphragm Walls and Bored Pile Walls. A bad choosing of that kind of solution can provoke, therefore, building pathology’s and waste. Thereby, the elaboration of a choosing directrix can be very helpful as a source of comparison between these two solutions based on representative technique parameters of the two methods. In this project, the most important technique parameters of the choosing a soil remaining system were studied and, more deeply, the construction processes of Diaphragm Walls and Bored Pile Walls. As result, this study led to the conclusion of a better viability for using Diaphragm Walls when water is present, but specially was observed the importance of knowing and considering all the parameters found.

The present monograph deals with the working conditions of the well-known grape workers of the city of São Miguel Arcanjo, a small town in the southwest of São Paulo. The production of grapes in the city is known in the state of São Paulo, and all the São Miguel cultural tradition revolves around the grape, for being one of the main agricultural products produced by the city. In this work, we gave voice to the workers, so that they could report their working conditions, income, and the reasons for becoming cold boiled in the cultivation and thinning of grapes in the city.

There is still no consensus in the financial literature regarding the companies’ capital structure determinants. This discussion has been going on since Durant (1952) proposed the traditional theory - which predicts that there is an ideal configuration of the way companies finance themselves - and was opposed by Modigliani and Miller (1958) - who developed the theory that there is no ideal configuration. Since then, several empirical studies have been developed to test these theses and new ideas have emerged on the subject. However, most of these studies have been carried out in markets quite different from the Brazilian one and, even in these, definitive convictions about the theoretical assumptions of the subject have not yet been defined. This work aims to continue these empirical studies by validating theoretical hypotheses based on data collected from the financial statements of the 3 largest companies in the Brazilian civil air transport sector. For this, using quarterly accounting data extracted from the websites of the companies studied, the statistical technique of multiple linear regression was used, which allowed to evaluate the relationship (positive or negative) between the defined accounting indices and to test the hypotheses raised. The results suggest that the profitability factor is decisive for the companies' capital structure and does not allow us to draw any further conclusions about the others.

The present work aims to map the profile of the investor of Real Estate Investment Funds in Brazil, based on the analysis of responses collected in a market survey and also to conclude the list of indicators of the São Paulo Stock Exchange Index (IBOV) and Credit of Interbank Deposit (CDI) before the Real Estate Investment Funds Index (iFIX), using the Multiple Linear Regression algebraic method. In this context, the study proves the greater sensitivity of iFIX linked to the IBOV, characterizing the asset within variable income products, which are adequate and generally present in the portfolio of investors with a moderate profile.

Due to the rapid evolution in the efficiency and the popularity of mobile devices, these devices have become essential for the daily lives of most people. In this context, accessibility tools and techniques must follow this progress in order to guarantee the accessibility for people with disabilities to the resources provided by these devices. This work seeks to identify which techniques, resources, and guidelines are the most used to support the design and evaluation of accessible mobile applications, with a focus on visual impairment. A systematic mapping was carried out to verify the state of the art in accessibility recommendations for mobile applications, for later analysis of the Moodle Mobile application. Based on the systematic mapping results and considering the characteristics of the tested application, the WCAG 2.1 was chosen as the guideline to be used in the analysis of the application. The results of this analysis were documented by principle and tested against its success criteria. Each of the WCAG 2.1 success criteria was tested when applicable, and adaptations were made to the criterion if necessary. In case of failure, the criterion was identified and mapped along with the location where it occurs in the application. With the presentation of all the criteria that were sufficient or failed, it was concluded that the Moodle Mobile application is not in conformance according to the guidelines used in this work.

The present research focused on the education of people with disabilities, who completed Brazilian public higher education. Its general objective was: to analyze the school trajectory of people with disabilities who completed Brazilian public higher education; and for specific objectives: 1. To know the potential and difficulties of training for people with disabilities who have completed Brazilian public higher education; 2.Identify possible supports and supports that university students with disabilities received in the educational, family, clinical scope, among others, in their academic path. This is a field study, using the Oral Life History method, of a descriptive character, carried out with methodological procedures based on the qualitative approach. It had as instruments of data collection a questionnaire for survey of social indicators; and a semi-structured interview script. Two people with disabilities from different regions of Brazil participated in the research, one from the Southeast and the other from the North, who were previously contacted and selected. The data were analyzed and divided into categories a) basic education: early childhood education, elementary school, high school; b) higher education: selection process, undergraduate / graduate courses; and possible supports and supports in the pedagogical, family, clinical scope, among others identified during these stages and levels. The results of the research demonstrated how challenging the schooling process is for people with disabilities and that, thinking only about access to school, is not enough, because the question of permanence goes hand in hand.

In the international education field, it is relevant to predict the students' performance for future courses and/or disciplines. In that matter, Rajalaxmi et al. (2019), Abledu (2012) and Gadhavi, Patel (2017) works show a statistic-mathematical approach by multiple regression which generates predictives models that may help educational politics, professors and managers in decision making. Starting from Educational Data Science, this Undergraduate Thesis uses real data from the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM). Starting from a sample of 26,731 participants, it shows that it is possible to model the student performance, to then correlate multidimensionally the four knowledge pillars of the ENEM, and, on top of that, provide a discussion about the students' performance from public and private schools. Results show that Educational Data Science is a fundamental field to Mathematics professors' formation, elucidating, from the quantitative point of view, the educational variables.

The objective of this work is to study celestial mechanics by retracing the mathematical foundations of Kepler's three laws, in connection with Newton's law of gravity, as to describe the planetary orbits as conic sections, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas. After describing the orbits in the plane. we address the two-body problem in the three dimensional space using as starting point the differential equations that describe such motion. In order to do this, we consider a suitable change of coordinates in which one of the bodies is at the origin.

The present search, based on the question of the cultural importance in the urban space, sought to comprehend through a geographic look how to verify the access to the institutionalized culture in the city of Sorocaba when focusing on three cultural centers, the “Serviço Social do Comércio” (SESC), the “Fundação de Desenvolvimento Cultural de Sorocaba” (FUNDEC), and the “Centro Cultural Quilombinho”. The methodology used for it’s realization happened through research and bibliographic reading, survey of the institution’s schedule through the online collection of the newspaper “Cruzeiro do Sul”, the execution of online questionaries and the realization of interviews. From these materials, it was verified that even with different focuses of actuation, the three cultural centers are important places of offers of cultural activities in Sorocaba. However, there are still deficiencies to guarantee the right to the city to all the community in your diversity of socio-spatial point of view. It was reflected too about the historical of the Brazilian cultural politics, which not always recognized the cultural diversities existing in our country, fact that disconsidered the territory and a truly “cultural democracy”. Thus, it was considered that there is a necessity of an effort of the public power to guarantee the access to these cultural spaces, once is the government responsibility to secure the culture in cities.

Introduction: The meditation practice has been used as an intervention strategy to deal with different current problems in the modern world such as violence, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, anxiety, stress, psychic disorders. These themes are currently relevant in the university context. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the subjective perception of changes in the lives of college students from the practice of meditation; to analyze the literature on the topic; to offer meditation practice, adapted to the university context. Methodology: Qualitative research, in two phases: literature review and intervention, with content analysis, through thematic categories and data triangulation. 38 complete articles were selected (BVS and Scielo), in Portuguese and English, published between 2013 and 2018, with the keywords meditation OR mindfulness AND students. The intervention took place in 2019 with two classes, in 10 meetings of 30 minutes each and followed a script of mindfulness and cultivation of virtues elaborated in this research. Inclusion criteria: students at the Federal University of São Carlos enrolled for at least one semester, either undergraduate or graduate. All participants answered the initial question "What motivates you to be in a meditation group?" and the final question “What did the meditation group reflect on your life?”. Review data were compared with the results of the intervention, through the thematic categories. Results and discussion: Of the articles analyzed, only two were Brazilian and seven, qualitative research. There was a predominance of research using the mindfulness technique. Inclusion and exclusion criteria, benefits, methods of intervention and evaluation of results, presence of psychiatric symptoms, difficulties and singularities were observed. Sixteen studies adopted case-control research and the majority worked with short meditations. 32 people participated in the intervention, including 16 in the research. The participation of undergraduate students predominated. The benefits were categorized into: mental health, knowing meditation / creating routine, quality of life, self-care / self-knowledge, breathing, focus / attention / concentration, relationship with people and helping the project. The benefits such as improved quality of life, mental health and self-care were more emphasized and the limitations were related to giving up participation throughout the research, both in the review studies and in the intervention. Conclusions: The study pointed out benefits of meditative practice for university life and systematized the scientific publications on this theme. The scarcity of Brazilian studies and research using qualitative methodologies stands out. Points out the relevance of the practices at this time of life to support health and quality of life for college.

The foliar application of products that act similar to a sunscreen, of the kaolin type, can prevent oxidative damage, by reducing the leaf temperature, maintaining the stomatal opening and improving the assimilation of CO2. This study aimed to evaluate the use of this sunscreen to minimize the effects of climatic stresses on photosynthesis, fruit setting, productivity and fruit quality in citrus. The experiment was conducted in an experimental orchard, of Hamlin sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck], grafted on Swingle citrumelo [C. paradisi Macf x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], at the Sylvio Moreira Citriculture Center (IAC), municipality of Cordeirópolis, SP. The treatments were T1- control and T2- kaolin (30 g L-1). The number of buds, flowers and fruits calculated for each 100 nodes were evaluated weekly, defining the percentage of plant fruit taking, in addition to the fruit diameter after the physiological fall that occurred around 16/01/2019, in addition to fruits fixed on the east and west sides of the plant. The average leaf temperature throughout the experiment and productivity in kg of fruits were also evaluated. By measuring gas exchanges made on 8/25/2018, at two times, at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm with the help of IRGA, Li-6800, Inc. Lincoln, USA, it was defined as stomatal conductance, transpiration and assimilation of CO₂ for old leaves and new leaves, both for the east side and for the west side. At the end, the fruits were submitted to juice quality analysis. The application of kaolin during the flowering and fruit setting period did not affect the flowering intensity and the number of fixed fruits. There was no effect on leaf temperature. During the harvest of the fruits there was no effect on the final production and quality of the fruits. However, it is necessary to highlight that during the fruitful period in the 2018/19 harvest, no limiting conditions were registered for production in the state of São Paulo.

This research seeks to analyze which financial and operational indicators most impact the performance of non-financial companies listed on the B3. The study is exploratory and was used a statistical method called factor analysis, capable of establishing from quantitative analyses the relationships and behaviors of the data studies. The indicators selected for the study were: gross margin, net margin, return on equity, return on assets, total assets, current liquidity, general liquidity, degree of indebtedness, total indebtedness, EBITDA margin, EBIT margin and asset turnover. With the results expressed, it was perceived that profitability indicators are the largest responsible for financial performance (48% of the variance recorded), followed by liquidity indicators (23%). Regarding the operational perspective, it was not possible to construct a forceful analysis, because the results obtained by the selected indicators were invalidated in the model.

When deciding how the investor will build his investment portfolio, intrinsic factors such as: age, gender, profession, family, technical knowledge, salary and other factors directly impact the way the investor will invest. Therefore, through a case study added to a descriptive-exploratory research, approximately 350 thousand active accounts were analyzed in an investment broker, and through the study in behavioral finance, it was possible to understand and separate investors on 5 clusters (levels), being: 1st - beginner; 2nd - advanced; 3rd - seniors, 4th - specialists and 5th - DayTrade. This result came from the analysis of the investment portfolio and the frequency of investor interaction on the broker's platforms (website and application).

Concerns about sustainable issues have increased business awareness of the importance of reverse logistics (RL) for developing environmentally conscious businesses and obtaining competitive advantages. The complexity of management and the specifics of RL's activities demand that companies set significant goals and use appropriate indicators to monitor their performance. However, despite the evolution of recent years, research on performance evaluation and its sustainability indicator in RL is still a recent, dispersed, fragmented and incomplete theme. In this scenario and aiming to contribute to the dissemination of sustainable parameters in the management of RL environments, this research sought to understand how sustainability has been incorporated in the scientific literature and in the performance evaluation of RL companies through performance indicators.Thus, it was carried out a bibliographic research on the evolution of performance in RL and a systematic review of the literature in search of indicators of sustainable performance in RL and Closed Loop Supply Chains (CLSC). The indicators found were compared with the indicators of a Brazilian company with RL activities and with the indicators proposed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). In conclusion, the RL performance theme has been on the rise in the scientific literature for more than twenty years, with sustainability being one of the main topics of research. Furthermore, 329 environmental, 371 social and 251 economic indicators have been identified, but it was observed that there is still a lack of standardization of indicators. The analysis of the company’s indicators revealed greater interest in the dissemination of indicators on environmental aspects, not addressing many social aspects indicated by the GRI.
