Ethnobotanical studies are important to contribute to conservation of biodiversity as well as the knowledge of traditional peoples, who interact constantly and deeply with other living beings, forming their own and unique relationships with nature. This work aimed to evaluate the use of medicinal plants to treat respiratory syndromes, especially by indigenous peoples. It also intented to make analysis fabout medicinal properties of the plants, the parts used and the forms of application as medicines The methodology was based on bibliographic research of data and information, both on the use of medicinal plants in the treatment of respiratory syndromes, especially by brazzilian indigenous peoples, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on these populations. In this study, the current pandemic moment was contextualized and highlighted how these people are combating the symptoms of COVID-19 with plants that have been known and used for some time. It was observed that there are groups of plants that are frequently used because they have important medicinal properties, as is the case of plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Both by the information conveyed by traditional media and, mainly, by alternative media, it is possible to verify that the Brazilian indigenous populations are using their traditional knowledge to treat symptoms associated with COVID-19 in order to mantain their resistance and resilience during the pandemic. Future research on this theme, aggregating and systematizing more data and information regarding the use of medicinal plants made by indigenous peoples during the pandemic, may collaborate in building a sustainable future based on a more ecocentric view of the relations between society and nature and subsidized by a scientific paradigm that favors a more systemic and open approach to dialogue between different human knowledge and practices.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the major phytosanitary problems in today's citrus culture. The commercial varieties of oranges, tangerines and tangelos are considered susceptible to HLB, while Poncirus trifoliata and some of its hybrids are considered tolerant. HLB is caused by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) and the symptoms have been related to callose deposition and the accumulation of phloem proteins (PP2) in the phloem-stained element tubes o of the infected plant, causing the obstruction of the tubes and inhibiting the transport of photoassimilated throughout the plant. In Arabidopsis thaliana, as PP2 are encoded by 30 genes, which are divided into two groups (AtPP2-A1 to AtPP2-A15 and AtPP2-B1 to AtPP2-B15). In this work, the first objective was to evaluate an expression of six genes that code phloem proteins (PP2) in Citrus sinensis (highly susceptible) and Poncirus trifoliata (tolerant), infected with CLas. For the RT-PCR experiments, ten plants of C. sinensis and P. trifoliata are inoculated with bubbles infected with CLas (HLB+) and five plants inoculated with healthy bubbles. A positive reduction in the genes obtained in HLB+ plants was observed in comparison with plants not inoculated for C. sinensis. For P. trifoliata, only the pp2B10, pp2B13 and pp2B15 genes were regulated positively. Positive expression of all genes obtained in C. sinensis was also observed when compared to P. trifoliata. Based on the results, the pp2B10 gene was selected to be used as a target for silencing by means of interference RNA (RNAi) technology. Thus, the second objective also exists in this work, which has been customized a cloning vector, using RNAi technology, for silencing the pp2B10 gene in sweet orange (C. sinensis). For this, fragments of the target gene were cloned in opposite escorts in the vector pHANNIBAL, and later, the hairpin construction under the control of the 35S promoter was subcloned into the vector pCAMBIA2301. The construction pCAMBIA2301 + hairpinpp2B10 is being used for genetic transformation of sweet orange to confirm the function of the gene and obtain plants tolerant to HLB.

This final paper consists of the elaboration of a proposal for the construction of a musical instrument, whose basic structure is similar to the Hammond organ added to some proposals for technological innovation. The Hammond organ is an instrument created in the 1930s, of great importance for music and engineering as it brings the possibility of creating countless possibilities of sounds thanks to the combination of several electromechanical elements. The work is divided into a historical axis, with the objective of introducing the instrument and its inventor and contextualizing it in the world of music and an engineering axis, addressing the theory behind the generation of sound, the functioning of the different parts and the different tools for developing a prototype. The objective is achieved once the proposed project finds support in the knowledge acquired during the undergraduate course and presents a set of information sufficient for this final paper to be a basis for a subsequent implementation.

A Software Requirement Pattern (SRP) is a feasible reuse approach that joins recurrent and high-quality software requirements from a set of applications. SRP is a widely investigated theme because it improves the quality of requirements specifications and reduces delivery time and project cost. Despite its importance for Requirements Engineering (RE), there is a lack of research on SRP over other software life cycle phases. Considering the intrinsic relation between RE and testing, this work aims to elaborate on an abstract and domain-independent reuse strategy for aligning SRP and Software Test Pattern (STP). A metamodel called Software Pattern MetaModel (SoPaMM) was produced so that requirements, behaviors, and test cases are related, with the influence of existing agile practices as Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). A Terminal Model Editor (TMEd) tool was also developed to produce pattern catalogues following the SoPaMM metamodel grammar. Moreover, the Metamodel Quality Requirements and Evaluation (MQuaRE) framework was defined to evaluate the SoPaMM metamodel quality. Then, SoPaMM was evaluated from the perspective of the quality properties defined in MQuaRE, and the evaluation results indicated that the metamodel has good quality concerning Compliance, Conceptual Suitability, Usability, Maintenance, and Portability characteristics. The main contributions of this research are: (i) a research agenda on the state of the art and state of the practice of SRP; (ii) the identification of a lack of research involving SRP in other phases of the software life cycle, beyond RE; (iii) the SoPaMM metamodel; (iv) the TMEd tool; (v) the MQuaRE framework; and (vi) the quality evaluation of the SoPaMM metamodel using the MQuaRE framework. Lessons learned and proposals of future work conclude this research.

Although the civil construction sector has adopted management tools and methods for the production and quality control of services, there is still a gap in applying effective quality management. The problems occur in the control of documentation and the control of processes, products, and continuous improvement. This research aims to propose an evaluation structure for Six Sigma application through a structured questionnaire or checklist for construction companies. The checklist was developed from a systematic review of the literature in which the six principles of Six Sigma are most used in civil construction internationally. Then, case studies were carried out on construction sites, and the checklist was applied to ten construction companies to identify each one's strengths and weaknesses. The research was realized with the technical staff of the building's site and quality management. The results showed that the companies contacted, on average, have mastered the principle of "focus on end customers," however they still have some difficulty in the application of quality management tools. Besides, it was found that characteristics such as the application of audits, the company's size, the existence of a quality department, and the existence of quality certifications influence the scoring of the Six Sigma principles. Therefore, according to the sample, it is concluded that the civil construction industry needs to develop mechanisms to promote the management of continuous improvement, having as a guideline the implementation and maintenance of methods and quality controls. It was observed that construction companies must first reach a total quality control level for effective continuous improvement management.

The second wave of feminism in the US was one of the most important movements that supported the foundation of Occupational Therapy, however the expansion of Occupational Therapy and the official history of the profession made this process invisible. Recently, different expressions of feminism have been more present in debates within the profession. This article presents literature review research carried out in the CAPES Journal Portal and in Latin American Occupational Therapy journals, using the terms "Occupational Therapy" and "Feminism" in order to survey and synthesize the results of several primary studies within the theme. Twenty-seven scientific productions were found, 9 of which were inserted, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected texts address themes about and related to feminisms such as: machismo, sexism, binary division of the body and gender, occupations imposed on gender and historical processes that cross feminism with Occupational Therapy in a context of development of the profession. Occupational Therapy engaged with social transformation must seek to break with hegemonic patterns of domination and submission. Therefore, it must be active and conscious promoting breaks in these processes and fights for diversities in different dimensions, and in relation to gender, as well as dissident identities, it is necessary to strengthen and collectivity in favor of a society that is more possible for all people in equity.

The importance of water for life and for the economy, its heterogeneous availability, and the different interests involved in its uses brought the need for Water Resources Management. This management uses water monitoring data as a reference for decision making. Monitoring networks can establish benchmarks and identify trends in water quality, which is needed for river basin planning. The objective of this study was to analyze the monitoring reports of the Nacional Water Agency (ANA) and Environmental Company of the São Paulo State (CETESB) to suggest improvements that can strengthen the monitoring networks so that they can be used in more complex applications in water planning. Additionally, it aims to propose the use of monitoring data for modeling of water bodies in environmental licensing. For data analysis, it was used information from the UGRHI-06 region (Alto Tiete), CETESB, InfoÁGUAS database, meta data from the ANA repository, and Electric Energy and Water Department (DAEE) for the same region were used. As a quality reference, the nine parameters that make up the Water Quality Index (IQA) were used to check the possibility of using public reporting data in situations that the system modeling may be required. The water quality data series showed some temporal gaps that make it impossible to set up a robust database and compare it with hydrological data, demonstrating that the current monitoring system has its importance, but it is not mature for more complex applications.

Sustainability in industrial processes is a requirement in accordance with environmental legislation, in addition to being a competitive strategy for organizations, since it minimizes solid waste and there is economical resources, among others. In the aeronautical sector there are several processes that can be applied to the concepts of sustainability, and one of the processes is the preparation and painting of aircraft generates solid residues, liquid effluents and atmospheric emissions. In addition to causing environmental impacts, the generation of waste represents waste of raw material and energy and requires high investments in pollution control and treatment techniques. Given this context, the general object of this work was to analyze the process in an industrial painting booth in the aeronautical sector and as a specific objective to implement improvements in this process through industrial automation, aiming at process efficiency and environmental sustainability. The research was based on a Case Study of the painting process of an aeronautical industry. The main results were: a 65% reduction in solid waste, a 60% reduction in water consumption, a 40% reduction in the emission of gases into the atmosphere, minimization of sick leave due to occupational diseases with zero sick leave.

Water plays an important role in the industry and for its proper use in oil refining, prior treatment is necessary, as occurs in the Water Treatment Station of a Petrobras refinery, in Paulínia-SP (ETA / Replan), during which a chemical sludge is generated, which need an appropriate destination to avoid causing environmental impacts and not compromising their disposal sites. Another important component of the industries are the Sanitary Sewage Treatment Stations - ETEs, like the pulp and paper industry station, in Votorantim-SP (ETE / VCP), which also produce sludge, although more organic. Both the sludge from ETAs and ETEs must receive an adequate destination in order not to cause negative environmental impacts. Thus, the general objective of this work is to study the technical feasibility of incorporating the sludge from ETA / Replan and ETE - VCP into clayey clay for the manufacture of bricks. The study was carried out in partnership with a pottery that, in addition to red clays and slabs, used the sludge from ETA / Replan and ETE / VCP in the composition of the bricks. The equipment and procedures necessary for the analyzes were provided by external laboratories, as required by CETESB. Both waste from ETE / VCP and ETA / Replan were classified as Class II - non-inert and non-hazardous, which indicates a high potential for use as a raw material in construction materials. The addition of residues in the mortar did not significantly alter the water absorption of the bricks, which averaged 20.7%. There was an increase in compressive strength with the incorporation of the sludge residue from ETA / Replan around 9%, with an average of 12.4 Mpa. The results allow us to conclude that the residues added to the mortar are suitable for use in construction materials.

The demand for energy has been increasing since the industrial revolution, mainly of oil and coal, resulting in the exhaustion of its deposits and the pollution of the environment. Due to the environmental liabilities generated by these forms of energy and the scarcity of these natural resources, the need for replacing these energy matrices arose, giving space for the use of renewable energy. This is a case study of economic and environmental feasibility for the implementation of photovoltaic system in a single-family residence. From an economic point of view, in a period of 25 years, there is an estimated reduction in electricity expenditure of 85.2%, and this applies to monthly consumption as well, the system has a useful life of 25 years and the cost of installing the equipment is paid in a relatively short time; in the case of this study, the return time was 4 years, but it varies between 4 and 6 years. In the analysis of environmental viability, the negative ecological balance was obtained as a result, making the photovoltaic system for the analyzed residence ecologically unsustainable, because residents consume resources above the biocapacity of the planet from nature.

The concern with solid waste has become an increasingly frequent topic of discussion in society. Inadequate disposal and environmental impacts generated by the industrial sector are being less and less tolerated by consumers. The textile sector has an expressive participation in the generation of solid waste and environmental impacts that, if not treated correctly, can cause irreversible damage to the environment. Thus, this work aims to study the management of solid waste from the manufacturing process of a textile industry, which produces articles for bed, table and bath, located in the city of Votorantim-SP. The applied methodology is based on an action research that will address in an organized manner activities that will make it possible to identify risks, quantify costs, establish and apply methods and raise stakeholder awareness of the importance of correct waste disposal. The results obtained through this work were the elaboration of the flowchart of the industrial production processes, the identification of the current waste disposal sites, the survey of the risks of inadequate disposal, the analysis of the failure modes and elaboration of the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - FMEA, the indication of new points of disposal and selective collection, the preparation of a booklet on the correct disposal of waste and the assessment of electricity consumption. Finally, it is concluded that this research used tools for waste management and management, resulting in its complete implementation, favoring the mitigation of environmental impacts arising from the production process.

The generation of solid urban waste in the municipalities has increased significantly through the population growth, the economy advance, the rapid urbanization process and the changes in consumption patterns. In the midst of this complex scenario, municipal management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) becomes a major challenge for public administration, which seeks through integrated management to find environmentally sustainable, socially fair and economically viable solutions. Based on Brazilian Fedral Law Nº. 12,305 of August 2, 2010, which institutes the National Solid Waste Policy, this study aims to investigate the Integrated Management of Urban Solid Waste (GIRSU), which encompass generation, treatment, collection, transportation, processing and transformation stages and final disposal. The study was applied to the municipality of Ilha Solteira - SP, where the integral parts of the municipal solid waste management system of the municipality were analyzed, from the generation of solid waste to its final destination in landfills and / or separation and commercialization by the recyclable materials cooperative of the municipality.

Nowadays, there are environmental concerns with the amount of waste generated in various processes, and in particular, in civil construction with the construction, renovation and demolition processes that are major waste generators. About this process, there is a need for studies to minimize the generation of waste. In this work, we present a method to qualify the reform process in a pharmaceutical industry. For this, an analysis of the process of all solid waste that can be generated in each phase of the reform in the production area is made. Subsequently, an analysis of the quantities, characteristics of each waste and its environmental impacts was carried out. Finally, the reference model was built and the analysis was carried out in each phase of the reform, which were assisted during the Supervised Internship discipline. After this process, the results were presented to verify the efficiency and applicability of the model for other reform projects.

Steel structures welded with aluminum alloys, which combine the low cost and high mechanical strength of steel with the weight reduction and the excellent specific properties of the aluminum alloys, are in great demand. In this context, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) stands out because it reaches lower temperatures during the welding process, reducing the thickness of the Intermetallic Compound (IMC) layers formed. Based on this, the present work proposed the application of the FSW technique to weld AA55083-O/H111 aluminum alloy to Naval GL D36 steel in lap joint configuration. For this, the influence of the welding parameters (welding speed from 5 mm/s to 15 mm/s and rotational speed from 300 rpm to 1100 rpm) on the microstructure, interface, and mechanical properties was analyzed. Joints without voids or defects were produced using low welding speeds (5 mm/s and 7 mm/s) and intermediate rotational speeds (500 rpm, 700 rpm and 900 rpm). It was observed that the decrease in the rotational speed or increase in the welding speed resulted in scattered voids and tunnel defects, a reduction in the grain size of the aluminum stir zone to a minimum of 4.04 um (5 mm/s and 300 rpm), and, consequently, an increase of the microhardness in this zone to a maximum of 100 HV0.2 (5 mm/s and 300 rpm). The maximum microhardness of 662 HV0.2 was obtained in the interface, due to the presence of the FeAl and Fe3Al IMC layers, which increased in thickness with the increasing of the welding speed and rotational speed. A combination of thinner IMC layers, higher steel hooks height, and micro interlocks in the weld interface resulted in better mechanical properties, achieving a maximum average lap shear strength load of 16.98 kN.

This work aims to study the performance of the mechanism with the use of a shear key in column-beam connections, with corbel, and using elastomeric pad at the beam support, and to understand the amount of stress this mechanism contributes to the shear force resistance, as it is widespread and used in column-foundation connections, but not deeply studied in column-beam connections. Therefore, to understand this behavior is important, once its use is recommended by NBR 9062 (2017), although it does not define guidelines when the use of shear switch mechanism in the column-beam connection is required. To achieve this study purpose, it was used a methodology based on ABAQUS® computational tool, substantiated on the finite element method. First, it was done a calibration of individual elements consisted in the shear key mechanism, the elastomeric pad and the interface pillar-sheath, based on experimental tests by (Faleiros Junior 2018, Merlos 2019, Bertolucci 2010), aiming to obtain parameters for the numerical modeling of the column-beam connection in full scale, from the experimental PCD test by Faleiros Junior (2018) and the NCE test by Hadade (2016). One of the calibration highlights of individual elements were the numerical analysis results of the simple elastomeric pad, which used a rubber extrapolated constitutive model, of Rezende (2020) study, in which was validated the constitutive model for chartered supports. And with this constitutive model, it was possible to simulate numerically the experimental study of Merlos (2020). The numerical analysis results identified that the performance of the simple elastomeric pad to the compression, using the friction coefficient of μ = 0.3, approached the equations defined in NBR 9062 (2017) and with the friction of μ = 0.5 from experimental test which is used for further numerical simulations It was also possible with these calibrations, to simulate numerically the column-beam connection of the PCD and NCE models and quantify the portion of shear force absorbed by the shear key mechanism, that the PCD model with the shear key made on the face of the beam and column and the NCE model only on the column face. Additionally, a numerical study was developed for the semi-rigid connections of PCD and NCE models. Numerically, the shear key absorbed a force of 204.18 kN from a 547,32 kN absorbed by the semi-rigid connection, comparatively to the force of 220.12 kN found in the experimental test of Faleiros Junior (2018) from a 538,42 kN in the semi-rigid connection, resulting in a difference of - 7.81%. In relation to the column-beam connection moment-rotation of NCE model by Hadade (2016), it was numerically identified the bending elastic moment of 445.20 kN.m versus 397 kN.m of the experimental model, a difference of 12.14%, and such results are considered satisfactory. Thus, it was concluded that the numerical models studied adequately simulate the experimental performance of the connections and confirmed that the shear key mechanism relieves the shear forces of corbel when the elastomeric pad is used at the beam support.

This research proposes an empiric study on the tattoo artification processes and starts with the following question: what are the strategies and discourses developed by male and female tattoo artists for the practice be artified? Since the 1980s and 1990s, in Brazil, tattooing has gone through the processes of professionalization, commercialization, commodification, sanitation, regulation, field standardization and, finally, artification, changing the ways it is conceived socially. Thus, the research aims to understand the power relations and negotiations between male and female tattoo artists regarding the knowledge construction about artification practice in São Paulo. It also seeks to analyze how the association between tattoo and art materialized in the fields of production, mediation and reception; understand the dimensions negotiated by male and female tattooists in order to construct the artistic value of tattoo; and, finally, to reflect how generation, gender, race and class differences reverberate in tattoo artification. These purposes will be achieved through participant observation in the institutions that discuss tattoo as art, semi-structured interviews with male and female tattooists inserted in the process of tattoo artification in São Paulo, bibliographic research and theoretical discussion on body modification and art.

Modern zoos are increasingly participating in the conservation of wild fauna. The squad allows the study of the several variables that make up the environmental, health and animal habits, in addition to the opportunity to obtain rare biological material for the development of new studies. Mammals of the Carnivorous Order are predators present in terrestrial ecosystems, being top animals in the food chain that have great ecological importance. The target species of this work were 3 carnivores belonging to the Felidae Family, genus Leopardus (Leopardus colocolo, Leopardus geoffroyi and Leopardus tigrinus) in which the objective of the present work was to establish hematological and biochemical reference values for small feline species under human care belonging to the squad of the Fundação Parque Zoológico de São Paulo. Through a retrospective study of the results of hematological and biochemical tests, the possibility of determining specific reference values for the species under study was studied, since the values used for these species are outdated and often comes from extrapolation from other species of felines, including domestic cats. For a correct interpretation of blood tests it is necessary to know and use specific reference values for the animal species being studied, adapted to geographical conditions, management, feeding and even the laboratory that performed the hematological analyzes. The results found made it possible to better understand the population of small cats in the FPZSP, in which the focus individuals of the study are mostly elderly, allowing the reference values to be established for this age group of captive cats.

Although the use of antibiotics has been indispensable for the control of diseases in humans and animals, their indiscriminate consumption has favored the appearance of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. A way to tackle this problem is based on the use of natural compounds with antibacterial properties, as an alternative to conventional antibiotics, due to their different mechanisms of action. In this context, this work aimed at the development of electrospun fiber mats of poly lactic acid (PLA) containing natural rubber (NR) and curcumin for applications in bactericidal wound dressings. PLA was chosen as the base polymer for fiber production because it is easily electrospun, besides being biocompatible and biodegradable, while latex (containing NR) was chosen due to its natural stimulus to angiogenesis, biocompatibility, low cost and easy handling. Curcumin was chosen because of their antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to the incompatibility between the polymers, the NR epoxidation reaction was used to favor the interaction with the PLA. Microfibers from the blend of PLA and NR (without the compatibility process) were also produced with two concentrations of curcumin (2.5% an d 5%, in relation to the polymeric mass), using an asymmetric membrane structure (anisotropic structure composed of 2 layers of fibers with different properties in terms of morphology and properties) aiming at application in wound dressing. The results indicated that the asymmetrical mat containing curcumin showed antibacterial action against S. aureus and E. coli bacteria, with more promising results for the former, according to the results of a wound model using ex-vivo pigskin. The results also showed that the asymmetric membranes were able to prevent the penetration of bacteria for up to 14 days. In addition, photodegradation, one of the main disadvantages of curcumin, was overcome with the addition of an extra top layer of PLA nanofibers over the curcumin-containing PLA/NR microfiber layer, which was able to prevent its photodegradation for up to 12 hours when exposed to light. Finally, the results presented show two different alternatives for obtaining microfibers using the blend of NR and PLA and also the high potential use of curcumin for wound dressing application.
