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.

In this paper, a proposal for a exploratory study of cryptography and the influence of the quantum computer on data security will be presented. The goal is to demonstrate a way of how factorization and quantum computing can be applied in regular education in the final years of elementary school. Students, despite having a lot of contact with computers on a daily basis, do not understand what a computer is, how safe they are on the social networks and platforms they use, let alone know the development of quantum computing, which is such a current and relevant topic, with a lot of transforming power in everyone's daily life. With the presentation of the classes, students are expected to have an overview of cryptography and quantum computing so that they are thus in contact with mathematics in a more applied and interesting way.

Urbanization poses countless disturbances to biodiversity, reducing environmental heterogeneity, causing the process of community simplification and favoring species with greater tolerance to anthropogenic actions, mostly generalists in habitats, and eating habits. The interactions between plants and frugivores establish an important structure for a community, and its loss can compromise the species involved and the ecological functions they perform. Thus, interaction networks are important tools to understand ecological processes and patterns responsible for the structural complexity of communities. Although many large urban centers are within the domain of the Atlantic Forest, there are few studies on interaction networks in this environment. Therefore, the study objectives are (1) to characterize this knowledge about frugivory by birds in urban areas of the Atlantic Forest biome; (2) to analyze an interaction between urban birdlife and plants through an interaction network; (3) to verify the behavior of the network and (4) evaluate the influence of exotic species on the network. For this, a bibliographic review on frugivory by birds in urban environments of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil was carried out, articles that included these interactions were surveyed. After the data collection, a list of bird species that consumed fruits is generated, thus creating a binary matrix of plant and bird interactions, which was used for plotting the network, analyzing its structure and organization. For the network, the species connectivity was observed, and the network nesting, estimated with the Nestedness Metric Based on Overlap and Decreasing Fill (NODF). A total of 19 studies in 9 states within the Atlantic Forest were included in the analysis, having generated 78 bird species consuming fruits of 103 plant species. The interaction network has a nested pattern (NODF = 26, p = 0) and 541 interactions were observed, presenting low connectivity (6.65%) which estimates the proportion of the interactions performed in relation to the total of possible interactions. Birds and plant assemblages proved to be stable and resistant in the interaction functioning since the nested structure is a property that demonstration groupings not at random. The number of interactions seems to justify the connectivity, since it decreases due to the network size, reducing the transmission of disturbances. Thus, fruit consumption in urban areas occurs opportunistically, especially by generalist species.

Background: Physical exercise in the home environment may be an important non-pharmacological intervention strategy for the older people with Alzheimer's disease (AD), due to their greater adherence and ease for the caregiver. Few studies have analyzed the implications of this type of intervention on muscle strength, functional mobility and functionality. Aims: To verify the effect of the home-based physical exercise program for older people with Alzheimer's disease (AD-HOMEX) in older people with AD on muscle strength, functional mobility and functionality. Method: This is a clinical trial with 40 older people from the community with AD in mild and moderate phases, randomized into Intervention Group (IG) and Control Group (CG). The IG performed exercises, aimed at functionality, muscle strength, balance, cognitive, aerobic endurance, and motor dual task at home for 16 weeks, three times a week. The CG did not perform any intervention. The clinical trial followed the recommendations of CONSORT and SPIRIT. Participants were evaluated by blind examiners regarding the allocation of the groups, initially (M1) and after 16 weeks (M2). The evaluation consisted of anamnesis, muscle strength measurements (isokinetic and manual dynamometer, sit and stand test 5 times (5XSTS) and 30 seconds), functional mobility (Timed Up and Go) and functionality (Direct Assessment of Functional Status and Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire-ADL-Q). The multivariate analysis of variance tested the interaction between groups (intervention and control) and moments (M1 and M2). A significance level of α=0.05 was adopted. Results: 40 and 35 participants were evaluated in moment 1 and moment 2, respectively. Four participants from the IG and one participant from the CG were lost. There was high adherence to training (80%) and sessions (93.75%). There was a significant interaction between group and moment for 5XSTS (p = 0.011) and for ADL-Q (p = 0.001). The GI improved the performance between moments by the 5XSTS (p = 0.020) and by the ADL-Q (p = 0.006) and showed a reduction in the risk of falls (p = 0.00) and in the severity of the functional impairment (p = 0.005), while the CG worsened both (p = 0.006; p = 0.010), respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that the AD-HOMEX significantly increased muscle strength and functionality, in addition to decreasing the risk of falls. The home-based protocol favored good adherence and adherence, since it does not require commuting, enabling better cost-benefit for these older people, their caregivers and therapists. AD-HOMEX contributes to advances in the area of scientific research on this population and the protocol serves as a theoretical foundation for the development of measures for clinical interventions and health promotion, in order to prevent debilitating complications resulting from the disease. Therefore it can be a guide for clinical professionals in the development of effective intervention strategies with physical exercise that neutralize adverse outcomes and maximize the clinical course of the disease.

This study was based on the motivation to seek solutions for more active and respectful practices for school children. We consider the school reality that is still fixed in the transmission of knowledge to be problematic, in the rigid structuring of the routine that favors mental tasks to the detriment of the child's total engagement. Thus, we sought to know the contributions of Celèstin Freinet's pedagogy, especially with regard to the experiences that involve the body, spontaneity and expressiveness. The context of the first year of elementary school was delimited, given the importance of this specific moment in child development. Music was valued as an integrating element of the knowledge expected for this stage and for its potential to recruit cognitive, physical, emotional and social skills in individual and collective conditions. A perspective of collaborative work between pedagogue and music teacher is assumed in order to ensure more cohesive experiences. The challenges of this cooperation are described based on a specific framework that has been discussing the presence of Art in Pedagogy courses. The study is characterized as bibliographic and qualitative and aims to: analyze the extent to which Freinet's principles dialogue with the document Read and Write: planning guide and didactic guidelines / 1st year literacy teacher from the State Department of Education of São Paulo; make activity proposals that consider all the languages provided for in the aforementioned document using music as a fundamental part of the learning expectations required for children and; stimulate and strengthen the integrated and collaborative work between educators and music teachers to obtain answers to the current educational needs. In this perspective, four didactic proposals were elaborated considering the contents foreseen for this school stage. The results indicated that it is possible to carry out plans that take into account children's needs, the current limitations of teacher training, in line with the principles of autonomy, work and free expression valued by Freinet. We understand that future practical opportunities may bring us more clarity on these propositions. The theoretical investigations carried out reinforce the importance of rethinking the education of the pedagogue in relation to the Arts and active approaches to Education.

The present work aims to contribute to a Freire analysis on the practice of non-school teaching of a revolutionary leadership in the face of the category of authentic praxis, starting from a concrete reality. This is a qualitative research that discusses the theme from a Freirean perspective, the object of study is the Human Rights Laboratory (LDH) of the Popular Praxis Movement, specifically in relation to the practice of non-school teaching. The proposed objective is to investigate the subjects' formative practice before the category of authentic praxis and for that the theoretical foundation was based on Paulo Freire, Karl Marx, Enrique Dussel, Sergio Lessa and Ivo Tonet. The main concern of this research is summarized in the following question: To what extent does the LDH group practice implemented by this Social Movement adopt Freirien parameters to carry out the formation of the subject? Material was collected for analysis by the Popular Praxis Movement, participant observation during the meetings of the Human Rights Laboratory, semi-structured interviews and case study. The process of choosing the analysis category was based on the works of Paulo Freire, linked to some concepts of Marxist thought. The analysis made us see that the LDH carries out a teaching practice based on the category of authentic praxis according to Freirean parameters during the process of dialogue construction, in which there is an exchange of knowledge between the union of theory and practice, resulting in a collective development of awareness and future actions to overcome the contradiction denounced through the dialogue carried out during the meetings.

In recent years, ontologies have been used in information systems to index large corpora of documents or collections of facts and directly support user interaction with the system through functionalities such as navigation and searches. Both structure and content of ontologies must come with these changes, over time, without losing coherence. Expansion of ontologies is primarily an organizational process and there must be rules for the processes of updating, inserting and exclusion from the ontology. After learning millions of facts extracted from the web, NELL (Never-ending Language Learning), the first never-ending machine learning system described in the literature that continuously extracts facts (reading the web) to increase its knowledge base and learn to read better than the previous day, began to learn beyond the knowledge extracted and to infer new beliefs that it had not yet read before, becoming able to expand its initial ontology through some contributions. In this way, the present thesis proposes a sequential modular computational model that allows the expansion of the ontology of the NELL knowledge base, identifying and classifying subcategories of the categories already known by the NELL ontology. The proposed component receives as inputs question texts in English from the Yahoo Answers forum, a set of English Wikipedia articles, the NELL knowledge base and a set of seed examples. From this, preprocessing tasks were done to extract labelled and unlabeled examples, which were classified by a machine learning algorithm that define the new candidates to subcategories. A second module performs a validation procedure based on conditional probability. The results showed that the component, in addition to achieve adequate performances in terms of subcategories learning, maintains a relatively low rate of false positives.

The patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents complications in relation to changes in his routine and consequently needs a family member who assists him/her in activities of daily living. To perform the function of caring the family member needs skill and competence. Prolonged involvement in the provision of care can have negative effects, such as overload, anxiety and depression, and may impact on your quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the ability of care and the perception of quality of life and the level of burden and anxiety and depressive symptoms of family caregivers of people with CKD on hemodialysis. This is a descriptive, correlational study with a quantitative approach, which was carried out in four renal replacement therapy units in the interior of the State of São Paulo. Family caregivers of hemodialysis patients participated in the study. After signing the Free and Informed Consent Form, the participants were interviewed individually with the application of the following instruments: Scale to measure the care ability of family caregivers of people with chronic disease (HCCF-DC Scale); Medical Outcomes Study 36- Item Short Form Health Survey (SF- 36); Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Descriptive statistical and relationship analyses were performed between the variables collected. All ethical precepts have been respected. We evaluated 118 family caregivers and people with CKD, most of them women (75.4%), with an average of 50.966 (i.e., 50 years and 9 months). The dimensions relationship and change in the routine of the HCCF-DC Scale showed a negative, significant, moderate correlation with the anxiety and depression domains of the HADS instrument and weak, negative correlation between attitude and depression; dimensions relationship and change in the routine of the HCCF-DC Scale had a negative correlation, significant, of weak to moderate magnitude with overload, in all domains of the CBS; positive, significant correlation between the "Relationship" domain of HCCF-DC and all domains of the SF-36; Negative, significant, moderate correlation between the "Relationship" domain and HADS domains and CBS domains. The domain "Understanding" and the domain "Depression" (HADS), a negative, weak correlation was observed; in relation to the SF-36, the domains "Physical Aspects" and "General Health State" presented a positive and weak relationship. There was a negative, weak and moderate correlation between "Routine change" and between HADS and CBS (with significance in all HADS domains, CBS except the domain "Environment"); however, with the SF-36 domains, there was a weak to moderate positive correlation, and finally, the attitude domain had a negative and weak correlation correlated with HADS and CBS. It is concluded, therefore, that the higher the ability to care, the lower burden the caregiver presentes, and thus, better quality of lije.

Xylanases are an important group of enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of the xylan glycosidic chain forming xylose and xylobiosis. Mainly noteworthy is endo-1,4-β-xylanase, a hemicellulase capable of cleaving the β-1,4 type glycosidic bond that exists in the hemicellulose chains present in the lignocellulosic material - bagasse and straw - resulting from the production of first generation ethanol. Its activity in the structure of hemicellulose is related to its application in the production of biofuels, because if produced and isolated, it can be used in the hydrolysis of biomass in the industrial production of second generation ethanol (2G). Such an enzyme can be found in a variety of genera of bacteria and yeasts, in addition to insects, protozoa and seaweed. Its application is varied and can be seen in other approaches, such as in the paper, food, feed and beverage industries. Termites are eusocial insects, with a high biomass degradation capacity, performing this task in hours, unlike fungi that can take weeks. Thus, these insects become potential targets in enzymatic bioprospecting. Studies carried out by our group analyzing the transcriptome of Brazilian termite species have identified several potential targets as essential genes for application in combating this insect as well as enzymes to be produced heterologously as the scope of this work. The species chosen for this study was Heterotermes tenuis, as it is a pest species of sugarcane, which is the raw material for the production of first and second generation ethanol. In addition, this species has nocturnal habits, which indicates the production of enzymes with different characteristics from those already known. In a previous analysis, sequences identified as possible endo-1,4-β-xylanase were detected. In this context, the main objective of this work was to amplify the coding region, clone and express this enzyme in a heterologous system, in order to evaluate its activity for a possible application in the production of second generation ethanol.

The education of young people and adults needs to consider the diversity of the subjects that compose it, in order to exercise its restorative, equalizing and qualifying functions, as a modality of Basic Education. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to contribute to the construction of pedagogical practices capable of meeting the different profiles of EJA subjects in contemporary Brazil. As specific objectives were delimited: i) Identify which profiles of EJA subjects are in focus in the annals of GT 18 of ANPEd (2015-2019); ii) Understand more deeply who are the subjects of EJA in contemporary Brazil, from the productions present in the referred annals; iii) Knowing which clues are indicated for pedagogical practices in dialogue with these EJA subjects. The work has its theoretical reference in the Freirean perspective, using works by Paulo Freire himself and by contemporary authors inspired by his contributions. This is a bibliographical research, in which the successive stages of reading were used: recognition reading of the bibliographic material, exploratory reading, selective reading, critical reading and interpretive reading, with a view to building an integrative synthesis. The analysis was carried out around two axes: profiles of the subjects in focus and clues for pedagogical practices in dialogue with the subjects. As for the profiles in focus, the productions show: working subjects, women, adolescents and young people, the elderly, people with disabilities and black bodies. It is noticed how some profiles are not present in the productions, such as migrants and refugees, even though this is an audience that is coming to EJA. As for the clues for pedagogical practices in dialogue with the subjects, ten indications were found: education and future objectives, human development, re-signification of the school, permanent education, critical view of society, dialogue between school and non-school knowledge, specificities of EJA, horizontality in the relationship and training of teachers.

In corn, the leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is the vector of three pathogens: Spiroplasma kunkelii (corn stunt spiroplasma), Maize bushy stunt phytoplasma and maize streak virus (Maize rayado fino virus). With the expansion of the planted area and the cultivation of the second season corn, there was a change in the dynamics of sowing, allowing the presence of the hosts for a longer time in the field during the year, with direct influence on the incidence of this disease complex. Due to the high biotic potential, high potential for migration and significant damage, leafhoppers and this group of diseases that were considered as secondary pests, started to have a new understanding. As a consequence of the relevance of this new pest scenario, due to the challenge in practices for its effective control, Integrated Pest Management stands out for integrate management practices, looking for sustainability and application of techniques in addition to not just achieve population reduction, but rather, a multidisciplinary and systemic understanding of phytosanitary management.
