Context: Software testing plays an important role in quality assurance. Testing techniques and criteria help the tester to develop and assess test suites. Mutation testing is a fault-based testing criterion commonly used to evaluate the quality of test suites. However, a high computational cost to generate and execute the mutants and the existence of equivalent prevent mutation testing to be widely applied in practical situations. In this sense, it is important to propose studies to overcome such problems. Objective: This work presents an approach that combined mutation testing and the concept of primitive arcs, used in the context of control-flow testing criteria, to reduce the cost of mutation testing. Overall, the goal was to verify if the execution of a subset of mutants located on the primitive arcs of a program under testing reduces the number of mutants and maintains a high mutation score. Next, this work evaluated the relationship between minimal mutants and primitive arcs. If both hypotheses confirm, it is possible to design new testing criteria based on the results obtained. Method: This work presented an experimental study to evaluate the proposed approach. To carry out the experiment, this work considered a set of 29 programs in C already used in other studies involving mutation testing. Results: The results showed that the approach reduced the number of mutants and achieved a high mutation score. Besides, the results showed that the primitive arcs concentrated a high percentage of minimal mutants. Then, the approach was compared to random mutation. The results showed that mutation on primitive arcs was slightly better than random mutation. Finally, this work presents a set of testing criteria based on the results obtained. Conclusion: Although powerful to detect faults, mutation testing still requires some improvements to large use in industry. The proposed approach may guide further works once the results obtained showed that the combination of mutation testing and primitive arcs might be a promising alternative. Thus, a broad experimental study using industry level programs and different test suites, may bring different results and hence, bring some contribution to the community.

The present research aimed to investigate how the Municipal Education System of Bauru has interpreted and translated national public policies for IE, and how these influenced the conceptions and directions assumed for playing expressed in its municipal document. Through documentary analysis of the notebooks produced by the Coordination of Early Childhood Education - COEDI and by the Secretariat of Fundamental Education - SEF (BRASIL, 1994-1998), the National Curriculum Reference for Early Childhood Education - RCNEI (BRASIL, 1998) and the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education - DCNEI (BRASIL, 2009), and the Pedagogical Proposal for Early Childhood Education of the Municipal Education System of Bauru (PASQUALINI; TSUHAKO, 2016), sought to understand how the main socio-historical, political and theoretical milestones influenced public policies for Brazilian early childhood education, and the defended conceptions and guidelines for playing. The theoretical framework for studies on playing is supported by the Historical-Cultural Theory, and the methodological framework is inspired by the Policy Cycle Approach (BOWE; BALL; GOLD, 1992, 1994). The results presented from the contexts of influences, text production and context of practice point to distances and similarities between public policies for national and municipal early childhood education. This study is part of the research line “Assessment and public policies in early childhood education”, of the study group EDIPIC- Early Childhood Education and Small Childhood in Context, at Federal University of São Carlos/SP.

It is highlighted some of the main aspects of scientific dissemination, the act of communicating science to the public, being the social media, one of the vehicles part of this communication, such as the YouTube platform. In this sense, it proposes to analyze the Nerdologia channel as an integral part of this platform, being a channel focused on entertainment and dissemination of scientific knowledge through elements of pop culture. The study sought to identify the models of public communication of science in order to investigate the methods that the channel uses to communicate science with the public, its strategies, its main elements, and tools of disclosure, which had as sampling reference, the selection of the 50 most accessed videos between the years 2013 to 2019, in addition to contextualizing the public communication of science and the discussion involving the field of Science, Technology and Society, being the study area in which the present research focuses. The methodology used was Content Analysis that assisted in the processes of treatment and analysis of the data and information. The results obtained revealed the science communication models that focus respectively on the "Koru" model of Longnecker, also linked to informal education, and the "contextual" model of Lewenstein, in addition to the style of scientific dissemination, being classified as "independent". The research also addressed the issue of the aesthetic and sound elements of the channel and its discursivities. It was concluded that the Nerdologia channel seeks to disseminate and teach science in an implicit and independent way, using visual and sound resources as strategies to obtain greater views in their videos, always aiming at the context of their audience, as consumers of products of the Cultural Industry as part of Pop Culture.

Hummingbirds make up the phenotypically most specialized group in floral visitation. Indeed, many species of plants throughout the Americas depend on these birds to complete their reproductive cycle. Despite the inestimable contribution of existing studies on these relationships to the knowledge of mutualistic interactions, some ecosystems, such as the rupestrian fields sensu lato, are little explored in this context. Thus, the present work aimed to characterize the interactions between hummingbirds and plants in two phytophysiognomies of this ecosystem, rupestrian fields sensu stricto and forest islands represented by riparian forests, immersed in the Cerrado domain. We carried out field collections for one year in the Serra da Canastra National Park, one of the largest remnants of the Cerrado domain and well represented by ecosystems of rupestrian fields. Through observations on transects distributed in the two selected phytophysiognomies, we aim to characterize the interactions between hummingbirds and plants in terms of their general patterns (chapter 1) and in the light of the ecological networks approach (chapter 2). Specifically, in the first chapter, we investigated variations in the richness of plants visited by hummingbirds, hummingbird richness and abundance, total floral visitation and agonistic behavior of hummingbirds between two annual seasons (rainy and dry), syndromes pollination and phytophysiognomies. In the second chapter, we seek to assess variations in the patterns of interactions between the two habitats sampled in the light of the ecological network approach.

The subterranean (or hypogean) environment is formed by interconnected spaces of the subsoil or subsurface filled with water or air and has a marked characteristic of darkness in deeper areas and little variation in abiotic conditions, such as high relative humidity and constant temperature. One of the characteristics observed in many caves and other subterranean habitats is the tendency for food scarcity, where most of the time the supply of food is by allochthon origin, thus influencing the richness and distribution of the fauna. These factors, among others, make the hypogean environment extremely fragile. This study aimed to present historical data for the ichthyofauna in the São Francisco basin and to compare them with data occurring in caves and epigeanl stretches of São Roque de Minas region, Minas Gerais state, in addition to verifying physico-chemical data, richness and diversity. Three collection occasions were carried out using combined methods. Historical data were also used to compare the subterranean ichthyofauna occuring in the São Francisco Basin. The rio São Francisco River basin presented 26 species in hypogean stretches of rivers, eight troglobitic restricted to subterranean habitats, most of which are found in the state of Bahia. For the São Roque de Minas region, 13 species were recorded, seven in hypogean stretches. Concomitantly, the data collected for the region were analyzed aiming at the diversity of the ichthyofauna, verifying similarity of species and degree of health, testing the hypothesis that the caves represent an environmental filter for the local ichthyofauna.

Introduction: Engagement is defined in the literature as a multifaceted state composed of affec-tive, cognitive and behavioral aspects, conceptualized in two interrelated ways, as a process (in-volvement with) and a state (involved in). For occupational engagement to start, some points need to be considered, such as the sense of readiness, purpose or meaning, participation, motiva-tion and interest, while other points are seen as influencing the level of engagement, being the state of mental health and cognitive ability, challenge, feedback and environmental elements. The literature describes a conceptual model of “social environment” and “social context” that inte-grates a perspective focused on the person with a perspective focused on the environment and that outlines the mechanisms through which children and youth and the social environment inter-act: this is the Model of social environment and social context. This model directs researchers and professionals to interventions that address interaction, including children and their social en-vironments, families, peer groups and communities, in order to create possibilities for healthy development and the creation of health-promoting environments. In this perspective, the Self-reported Experiences of Activity Settings (SEAS) instrument was developed, which assesses the self-report of young people in relation to their activities. The instrument has good psychometric qualities and favorable results in its application. Objective: to carry out the cross-cultural adapta-tion of the Self-reported Experiences of Activity Settings (SEAS) to Portuguese (BRAZIL). Methodology: the cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument was carried out with the approval of the instrument's authors. From that approval, the steps taken were the initial translation, trans-lation synthesis, back-translation, evaluation by the expert committee and cognitive development. The cognitive development was carried out with 22 adolescents with and without physical disa-bilities, attended at institutions in medium-sized cities in the interior of São Paulo in order to veri-fy the understanding of the instrument's items. Results: The rate of agreement in the sentences by the committee of judges was satisfactory and the items below 80% of agreement were adjusted based on consensus among the researchers, corresponding to a total of 15 sentences. In the stage of cognitive development, it was observed that the Portuguese version was understandable be-cause the comprehension index was high for the adolescents in the study and the authors ap-proved the final version. Discussion: Certain occupational therapy terms used in SEAS are dis-cussed, such as “activity settings”. Differences in translation styles are also discussed, highlight-ing the importance of the stages of translation, back-translation, the composition of the expert committee at work and the results obtained in the stage of cognitive development. Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated that the equivalence with the original version was main-tained and the instrument in Portuguese appears to be suitable for the Brazilian population. It ends with an instrument ready to undergo psychometric studies, in order to be validated for Bra-zil.

The present work of conclusion of the course is a bibliographic and documentary research that seeks to deepen some concepts on the right to literature, literary literacy, and fairy tales. aimed at dialogue with BNCC and PNLD Literary to emphasize that literature and the school must go together. From a theoretical point of view, it seeks to reflect on the importance of literature for human beings and recognize it as a fundamental right (C NDIDO, 2011) and as aesthetic education (VIGOTSKI, 2003), being necessary for the full development of students. For the studies of fairy tales as an instrument of creative resignification of our life, I use the contributions of Propp (1984), Tolkien (2020), Machado (1994) and Coelho (2012). I problematize literary literacy (COSSON, 2019, 2014) because it offers us the necessary instruments to act in the literate world, considering the subject in its entirety. Thinking about the importance of fairy tales in the formation of the literary reader in the early years, articulating orality and access to literary books as a right is our main objective.

We prove that the teleportation based quantum cryptography protocol presented in [Opt. Commun. 283, 184 (2010)], which is built using only orthogonal states encoding the classical bits that are teleported from Alice to Bob, is asymptotically secure against all types of individual and collective attacks. We then investigate modifications to that protocol leading to greater secret-key rates and to security against coherent attacks. In other words, we show an unconditional secure quantum key distribution protocol that does not need non-orthogonal quantum states to encode the bits of the secret key sent from Alice to Bob. We also revisit the security proof of the BB84 protocol by exploring the non-uniqueness of the Schmidt decomposition of its entanglement-based representation. This allows us to arrive at a secure transmission of the key for a slightly greater quantum bit error rate (quantum communication channel’s noise) when compared to its standard security analysis. After that, we investigate how different types of the noise usually present in realistic implementations of the BB84 protocolo affect its operation.

Introduction: The increase in elderly people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) brings challenges to society, especially to family members, who often become informal caregivers, culminating in a series of biopsychosocial complications. Among them, there is the impairment in cognitive performance, which can directly affect the quality of life of these individuals, establishing the need for support programs. Objective: to evaluate the effects of a psychoeducational home intervention on cognitive performance, anxious symptoms, stress and burden in caregivers of elderly people with AD. To meet the major objective, two studies were designed, with the following objectives: (1) To carry out a systematic review of the literature on psychoeducational interventions with caregivers of elderly people with AD; (2) apply a psychoeducational intervention with a focus on cognitive stimulation and evaluate its effect on cognitive performance, anxiety, stress and the burden of caregivers of elderly people with AD.. Method: The study (1) was configured as a systematic review of scientific production with search in the databases Pubmed, Virtual Health Library, MEDLINE, PsyINFO, Scopus and Cochrane, published until December 2019, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The search strategy combined the Boolean terms and operators considering the key concepts "caregivers", "elderly", "intervention", "Alzheimer's disease", "cognition", "psychosocial impact", "psychosocial support systems". The study (2) deals with a randomized, controlled and blinded clinical trial, for the application of a psychoeducational intervention focusing on cognitive stimulation in caregivers of elderly people linked to the Home Care Department of a private health operator in the city of São Carlos (SP). Results: (1) Eight articles were analyzed, which showed improved knowledge about AD, in addition to better self-efficacy, resilience and cognitive performance of caregivers. (2) The Intervention Group showed significant improvement in the symptoms of stress (p = 0.027), global cognition (ACER p = 0.003; MMSE p = 0.008) and domains (attention / orientation - p = 0.004; memory - p = 0.017; fluency verbal - p = 0.023). As for the Active Control Group, even if not significant, there was an improvement in verbal fluency that showed in the reevaluation (p = 0.007), perceived stress (p = 0.031) and anxiety symptoms (p = 0.049). Conclusion: (1) Models of psychoeducational interventions for caregivers of elderly people with AD are proposed in different formats and demonstrate positive effects regarding their self-efficacy, resilience and cognitive performance. (2) Home intervention for caregivers is an important tool for improving cognition and stress in caregivers of elderly people with AD, but it does not seem to have the same efficacy for symptoms of overload and anxiety, which highlights the need for specific intervention strategies for this domain.

This study had as main objective to contribute to the taxonomic knowledge of Braconidae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea), with emphasis on the subfamily Alysiinae, of two protected areas (Unidades de Conservação) in the southeastern region of Brazil, namely: Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra (São Roque de Minas, MG) and Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos (Teresópolis, RJ). In the Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra, the study was conducted in the upper part of the Park (at 1,180 to 1,444 m altitude), in gallery forest and rupestrian grassland (sensu stricto) areas, between November 2018 and December 2019, with the use of Moericke, Malaise and light traps. In this Park, more than 9,000 specimens of 24 subfamilies of Braconidae were sampled. The results obtained with Moericke traps suggested a positive association of the abundance and richness of subfamilies with the relative humidity of the air. The composition of subfamilies differed between the two phytophysiognomies sampled. The most abundant subfamilies were Doryctinae, Microgastrinae and Cheloninae. Cenocoelinae, Rhysipolinae, and Rhyssalinae had few specimens collected and were sampled exclusively in gallery forests; specimens of Miracinae occurred only in rupestrian grasslands. The Malaise trap was the most effective method for collecting specimens, however, the Moericke traps were important in relative abundance, especially for Alysiinae, Doryctinae and Pambolinae, and the only specimen of Rhysipolinae obtained was with the use of this method; with the light trap, a high diversity of subfamilies was sampled. Seven known genera (and two undescribed genera), 63 morphospecies and 223 specimens of Alysiinae were sampled in this Park, predominantly from gallery forests, but specimens of Coelinius occurred only in rupestrian grasslands. The composition of morphospecies differed between the sampled phytophysiognomies and the sample sufficiency was not achieved for any of the three methods used. In the Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, collections were carried between December 2014 and November 2015, in an altitudinal gradient at 137 to 2,140 m. Twelve known genera (and two undescribed genera) of Alysiinae were obtained in this Park and about 2,900 specimens. Above 860 m of altitude, 90% of the specimens were sampled; a positive association between abundance and the average altitude of the sample area was found. In contrast, specimens of Orthostigma were obtained only in areas at 350 m. Considering the two protected areas, 14 known genera of Alysiinae and two undescribed genera were sampled. The most abundant genera were Dinotrema, Aspilota and Aphaereta. Relatively rare and/or little recorded genera in the Neotropical Region occurred (Alysia, Idiasta, Coelinius, Ilatha, Rhacalysia, and Orthostigma). This research provided support for an update of the genera Idiasta and Rhacalysia, including the description of new species from the Neotropical Region.

This work focuses on four major themes: semiflows; generalized semiflows; invariant measure for set-valued maps; and random dynamical systems. The study of semiflows aims to understand the asymptotic behavior of solutions to problems with unique solutions. The generalized semiflows, on the other hand, allow the solution for an initial data to be not unique, thus allowing a wider variety of problems. Both studies, in this work, have the main goal of providing conditions for the existence of an attractor, and properties on it. When dealing with invariant measures for set-valued maps, it is important to say that different proposals have been made over the past few years to define this concept. In this work, four of these definitions are presented, and at the end it is shown that they are all equivalent under certain conditions. Finally, a version of ergodic theorem for set-valued map is presented, with an application to a dynamical system wich generates a generalized semiflow with atractor. Finally, in random (discrete) dynamical systems, the system is not limited to the iterations of a unique map, but to successive applications of maps chosen randomly within a certain family. A version of ergodic theorem is presented for this case, with a new application to a dynamical system wich generates a generalized semiflow with atractor.

This research project makes use of kinematics for a study of the subject’s postural pattern, through the processing of video images and with the use of a baropodometry platform. Men and women aged between 18 and 60 years, who self-declared that they did not have joint dysfunction, pain and physical or cognitive impairment, were subject to age. The analysis obtained two postural patterns, the first non-static pattern and then a non-dynamic pattern in motion. In the static pattern, an analysis was made through the baropodometry platform that presents the pressures of loads and surfaces of the subjects’ plantar regions. In the dynamic pattern, the subject was filmed in motion, in profile and posterior positions, allowing the reconstruction of a model in three dimensions. For the analysis of the images of the videos, software was developed in C ++ language that used the libraries for image processing, ac OpenCV and 3D visualization called ac VTK. The information collected from this analysis served to compare the subject’s movements evaluated in gait, associated with the image of the pressure of the step and the plantar areas of the same subject, in order to determine patterns related to the types of steps with the analysis of the dynamic patterns. The type of foot cava and the movements of the hip on the skull-tail axis and the flexion and extension movements of the right hip were predominant in this research. Therefore, it is feasible to use the programming for the professional’s clinical reasoning, helping for a good conduct of assessment, diagnosis, orientation and monitoring of developments in the treatment of physiotherapy.

The evaluation of the safety culture allows to eobtain a clear view of the aspects related to patient safety that need adjustments and require more attention, enabling the institution to improve its work processes. The current pandemic of COVID-19 has generated several changes in health organizations that directly impact the performance of professionals and patient safety. In this context, this research sought to answer the following question: What is the culture of patient safety in a university hospital and its interface with COVID-19 from the perspective of health professionals? This research aimed to evaluate the patient safety culture in a university hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, Survey type study with a quantitative approach, by applying the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire to professionals who work directly and indirectly in patient care. 336 health professionals working at the hospital were invited to participate in the research. The questionnaire was sent by email to the participants and the data collection took place from December 1, 2020 to January 15, 2021. The data were submitted to descriptive analysis guided by the User’s Guide of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The rate of response to the questionnaire was 6.54% in the hospital as a whole and 23.07% among nursing technicians in Pediatrics. No dimension was considered strengthened. Two dimensions were considered neutral in the general analysis and five dimensions were considered neutral in the analysis of Pediatrics. The most critical dimensions, which presented the worst index of positive responses, were: “Nonpunitive response to error”, “Frequency of event reporting”, “Staffing”, “Teamwork across hospital units”, “Feedback and communication about error", "Supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety"," Overall perceptions of safety". The survey results are in line with other surveys that did not have strengthened dimensions and whose dimension “Nonpunitive response to error” is considered critical. It was not possible to correlate the results with the COVID-19 pandemic due to the absence of a previous study that evaluated the patient safety culture at the institution.

Different technologies and social-cultural aspects of our lives have allowed the acquisition of people's mobility data. The same applies to other moving objects, such as birds with GPS trackers and hurricanes with real-time satellite data. Although these raw positioning and timings are useful in many applications, it has been long recognized by the Trajectory Data community that semantics are required to capture the complexity of humans' and other objects' behaviors. Semantic Trajectories were proposed in this context as raw trajectories enriched with semantic annotations and possibly interlinked with external data. Based on these requirements, many works incorporate concepts and technologies from the Semantic Web to deal with the complexity of merging, representing, and querying heterogeneous data. They usually use ontologies to represent and manipulate concepts such as Moving Objects, Trajectories, Stops and Moves, and semantic aspects related to each of them. Nonetheless, we find that no previous work has explored mining patterns from these ontology-based representations. On the contrary, current efforts use standard association rule mining algorithms, such as Apriori, which require propositional data represented as Boolean feature vectors. To mine patterns aware of the semantic relations in a Semantic Trajectory ontology, we explore algorithms from the Knowledge Base Refinement field. These methods were proposed to use real-world facts represented in Knowledge Bases such as YAGO and DBPedia to infer new entities and relationships. We build on previous works describing ontology-based trajectory representations and tackle the knowledge discovery task using AMIE, a well-known state-of-the-art KB rule mining algorithm. This approach mines patterns in the form of Horn rules, which allows us to investigate associations between time, spatial, and semantic relations interlinking trajectory events. We show that representations previously proposed in the Semantic Trajectory community are not suitable to be directly mined by this approach. However, they can be easily extended to power the AMIE algorithm. We also describe and address different issues that arise when using a domain-agnostic mining algorithm. The proposed data pipeline mines interesting patterns in experiments using Foursquare datasets. Nonetheless, there is a large number of rules which state facts that are too general. We build on these issues and argue in favor of the design of a domain-specific mining algorithm. We discuss future opportunities based on the acquired experience and experiments. Our approach shows how the Semantic Trajectory and Knowledge Base Refinement communities have built in recent years a large number of representations and mining approaches that could be put together to mine rules with rich semantic expressiveness from semantic data.

Perceiving yourself in the experiences allows you to know a little more about yourself, so remembering the experiences allows you to look at your own professional identity, reflect on it, understand it and transform it. The research deals with the teaching professional insertion in higher education, an integral part of the professional development process and aims to analyze the training experiences revealed in the narratives of teachers beginning in higher education who work in the Pedagogy course. The theoretical basis was based on the studies of Josso (2007), Passeggi (2016), Nakayama (2017, 2018), Souza (2004, 2015, 2018), Carlos Marcelo, (2010), Pimenta and Anastasiou (2002, 2010), Bolívar (2002), Ferrarotti (1988). The methodology fosters narratives as a data production device and uses episodic interviews with teachers. The corpus of the analysis is configured by the narratives produced from the episodic interviews and is based on the concept of comprehensive-interpretive-analysis, according to Souza (2014). The results reveal the teachers' training experiences in the insertion in higher education, such as the reflection on university teaching, autonomy and rupture movements, the training spaces and the movement of partnership and listening of the pedagogical coordinator of the educational institution, bringing to the highlights the contribution of the narratives with reflections on the experiences of the lived.

Introduction: Urgency is a strong urge to urinate, which is difficult to postpone and control. Urgency urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine associated with urgency and the overactive bladder is characterized by urgency with or without urinary loss. These are common clinical conditions in women. One of the physiotherapeutic resources that can be used to treat urgency is electrostimulation, such as electrostimulation of the tibial nerve and parasacral electrostimulation. Objective: To investigate the effect of treatment with transcutaneous electrostimulation of the Tibial Nerve or transcutaneous parasacral electrostimulation on urgency. Methods: 99 women, over the age of 18, with a score ≥8 on the Overactive Bladder –Validated 8 - Question Awareness Tool [OAB-V8]), participated in the study, randomized (1:1:1) using a simple draw in 3 groups: 33 in the placebo group, 33 in the tibial group and 33 in the parasacral group. In the tibial and parasacral groups, a frequency of 10Hz was applied and the pulse duration was 200μs. In the placebo group (electrostimulation in the scapular region), a frequency of 100Hz was applied and pulse duration was 100μs. The intensity varied according to the sensitivity of the participant for all groups. Outcome measures: The outcomes were assessed by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB), which assesses overactive bladder and investigates irritative urinary symptoms such as daytime frequency, nocturia, urgency and urgent urinary incontinence; Overactive Bladder –Validated 8 - Question Awareness Tool (OAB-V8), which investigates overactive bladder and measures the degree of discomfort, based on the self-perception of the participant; King Health Questionnaire (KHQ), which investigates quality of life in relation to urinary incontinence; and 24-hour Voiding Diary (VD-24h), which investigates voiding habits. The evaluations occurred in four moments: pre-treatment, after the 6th session, after the 12th session (post-treatment) and follow-up (30 days after the end of the treatment). Statistical analysis: Two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was applied to verify the effect of groups, evaluations, and interactions, in the total scores of the ICIQ-OAB, OAB-V8, in the KHQ domains and in the VD-24h variables. In the case of normality of the residues of the ANOVA model, the parametric approach with post-hoc was used by the Bonferroni test. Otherwise, the post-hoc non-parametric approach was used by the Anova-Type Statistic test with Bonferroni correction. The normality of the residues was assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk test. A significance level of 5% was considered. Results: The parassacral and tibial groups, in the post-treatment, presented fewer episodes of urgency than the placebo group (evaluated by the VD-24h). In the follow-up, the parassacral group presented a superior result than the placebo group in the ICIQ-OAB. In the post-treatment, the parassacral group obtained significantly greater results than the placebo group in the domains of incontinence impact and task limitations of the KHQ. Conclusion: In the present study, the number of urgency episodes evaluated by the VD-24h after treatment, showed that the parassacral and tibial groups had better results than the placebo group. Parasacral electrostimulation was more effective in reducing urgency compared to placebo, which is observed by the significant decrease in the total ICIQ-OAB score, at follow-up.

This paper was developed among a group of teachers from the early years of municipal schools in Sorocaba / SP, in the years of 2018 to 2019. This study aims to present two devices to locate and analyze how a collaborative group is formed and constituted, that is, which profiles those teachers had, based on their interactions, which have as a background to discuss the implementation of scientific literacy (CA) in the classroom in the early years. Respectively, the second device presented in this paper aims to present evidence of professional development from the teachers within the collaborative group and the dimensions covered by teachers. The methodological approach was qualitative, with a collaborative participation, taking place in about a year and a half, which was distributed in 20 face-to-face meetings. These meetings were all recorded, transcribed, and then organized based on categories of analysis. The results from those devices application brought us indicatives about the collaborative profiles from the teachers and their engagement within the group formed, providing positive ideas of teacher training. Concomitantly, we also managed to analyze signs of professional development of teachers according to the dimensions that teachers got involved during the research. The research and the use of devices assures us that the tools presented in this study can be used by professionals in teacher training and in discussions of collaborative study groups, as it corroborates and answers our research questions, being an alternative to compose the policies of teacher training, contributing to the construction of teaching knowledge.

Arboviruses have become a major public health problem due to emergence and reemergence worldwide. Climatic, socio-environmental and mobility factors favored the spread of both hosts, as well as vectors and etiologic agents of these diseases. The reduction of cases of these diseases consists of vector control, requiring an articulation between health services, especially Epidemiological Surveillance (VE) and Environmental Health Surveillance (VSA). This study aimed to analyze the correlation between vector control indexes, climatic variables and coefficients of incidence of dengue, zika and chikungunya in the city of Ribeirão Preto, SP. It is an ecological study, carried out in VE and VSA in Ribeirão Preto -SP. The data were collected through the analysis of the investigation forms referring to dengue, zika and chikungunya of the Information System on Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) in the years 2013 to 2019. The data related to entomological surveillance were obtained in the vector control reports of the Environmental Health Surveillance sector of the Municipal Health Secretariat. Data on temperature and precipitation were obtained from the online page of the Integrated Center for Agrometeorological Information (CIIAGRO). This research was approved by the UFSCar Research Ethics Committee (CEP). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The relationship of the indices to the incidence of diseases was analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ). To analyze the relationship between the average monthly temperature and monthly precipitation with the incidence of diseases, a generalized linear model with negative Binomial distribution and identity link function was proposed. The results showed that in 2016, the IC for dengue was 5257.08 cases / 100,000 inhabitants, the IC for Zika was 153.62 cases / 100,000 inhabitants; and, in 2017, the IC for chikungunya was 6.45 cases / 100,000 inhabitants. No relationship was found between the IB, IP and IR and the CI of these arboviruses, with p> 0.05. The study also found no relationship between precipitation and IC for these arboviruses, p = 0.05. However, the relationship between temperature and dengue IC was confirmed, p <0.01, and it is possible to state that with each one-degree increase in temperature, it can increase 19.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. It is concluded that the results of this study can support the process of developing control strategies for Aedes aegypti based on the knowledge of the factors that influence its proliferation and educational strategies to enhance vector control and disease prevention.
