Among the many fields of activity of Physical Education, collective health is one of the most recent. Because of this, from the experiences provided in the bachelor's degree in Physical Education, there was little emphasis on training and performance focused on the context of collective health. Therefore, this qualitative research aimed to analyze the perspectives on the professional training and acting of Physical Education professionals (PEF) who work in primary health care, in the Unified Health System (SUS). As a data collection instrument, a semi-structured interview was used with eight PEF working in the context of public health in different areas and cities in the state of São Paulo. After data collection, the speeches found were analyzed and four categories of analysis were elaborated, namely: a) Initial Training in Physical Education that addresses the initial training of the interviewees and the contributions of this to their respective professional performances, being possible to notice that the curriculum that the interviewees went through during graduation did not effectively contribute to the work they perform today, with disciplines and mandatory internships with the theme of public health being scarce; b) Working Conditions/Situations, the second category, we found reports about inadequate infrastructure and materials for an efficient professional performance; c) In our third category called Continuing Education of the Physical Education Professional, we visualized a dissatisfaction on the part of the interviewees in relation to the lack of incentives to take courses and/or permanent education; d) the last category was called the Role of the Education Professional, where we identified that a large part of the research participants see the role of the PEF directly linked to disease prevention and health promotion actions. In this way, we emphasize through this study the importance of bringing undergraduate students closer to a more practical context of action and developing public policies that support and encourage the PEF inserted in public health.

Yoga is an Indian philosophical system aimed at the study of consciousness and self-knowledge. For some decades, it has been incorporated into the Public Health in Brazil, from the perspective of an integrative practice, as a strategy for promoting care and treatment. Occupational therapists are worked in with the Integrative and Complementary Practices, aiming at the construction of therapeutic projects that consider the subject's living spaces and their daily activities. The objective of this research was to analyze the benefits attributed to the practice of yoga in the mental and physical health of practitioners, from the improvement of symptoms and the performance of self-reported significant activities, correlating to the daily discussion in occupational therapy. The methodology used followed a qualitative framework, analyzing data from the research entitled “Characterization of the clientele of yoga groups in a university health service”, out of an instrument for investigating symptoms and activities and a survey of the participation in the groups; the second stage, bibliography research in academic texts and publications related to occupational therapy and daily life and the text Patañjali Yoga Sutras. The most frequently mentioned symptom was “anxiety” and the activity “study” indicated an important link to the academic environment. Most participants reported positive effects of yoga on symptoms that hindered activities that were meaningful to them in their daily lives, based on collective practices that prioritizes self-care techniques, self-knowledge and self-development, in order to balance the psycho-emotional and physical state. The study allowed articulations with the field of knowledge of occupational therapy, which in its interventions addresses the subject’s living spaces and the actions performed in daily life.

The technique of liquid chromatography, by means of a separation mechanism, makes it possible to perform analyses to detect and quantify certain substances in a given sample. In a differential migration process, sample components interact in different ways with a mobile phase and a stationary phase until they are detected. In high performance liquid chromatography, these analyses are performed by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) equipment, whose system is basically composed of a solvent pump, sample injector, column, and detector. To identify and solve the common problems presented by the equipment, a troubleshooting technique was developed. The "Troubleshooting tree", a kind of troubleshooting guide, was published by researchers Snyder and Dolan with the objective of facilitating the identification of equipment problems. Many common problems such as pressure oscillation, retention time variation, area variation, peak shape change, and system leakage could be more easily identified and solved by following the method proposed by the "Troubleshooting tree".

Corn (Zea Mays L.) is one of the most economically exploited crops in the world, Brazil being the third largest producer and second largest exporter in the world. Its cultivation as a off-season in the country has become increasingly common in all regions, however, one of the limiting factors for its planting is the occurrence of dry period in summer, harming its productivity. Therefore, the irrigation systems use has become advantageous, since the corn crop to develop properly needs a large amount of water in different plant stages. The objective of this work was to evaluate the development and productivity of off-season corn irrigated by drip system irrigation and non-irrigated. The work has been carried out at Ufscar- Araras, in area of 40 x 35m, with 34 planting lines, being 17 irrigated and 17 non-irrigated. The water application has been made by self-compensating driplines, model Top Drip, flow of 1 Liter per hour, spacing of 0.30m and operating pressure of 1.4 bar. The soil moisture measurement, has been accomplished by tensiometers installed at two depts. Plant height, stem diameter and third leaf length were evaluated, as well as the diameter of the ears of corn, weight, length, 1000 grain weight, number of grains per ear and grain yield. The irrigated plants have been shown a greater vegetative development, quality and grain yield than the non-irrigated plants.

This research was produced with the aim of mapping students' experiences in their relations with the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of São Carlos (PPGE-UFSCAR). For the processing of the mapping, references of the cartographic method were used for the creation of methodological tools through which data were produced. The initial methodological tools were designed to be operationalized in face-to-face activities with a group of volunteer students. With the advent of the pandemic, the methodological tools created for the research were adapted to the virtual context, with all meetings for data production taking place through the mediation of digital devices.

This research is quanti-qualitative and has as its theme the conceptions of gender in the context of practices in Occupational Therapy from a decolonial feminist perspective. It aimed to analyze the perceptions of occupational therapists about gender and their experiences about social roles based on sex/gender during their professional practices. For data collection, a form with multiple-choice questions and space for comments and descriptive reports was produced. The research had the participation of occupational therapists who have been working for at least two years in any region of Brazil and in different areas of Occupational Therapy, in order to identify the possible reproduction in professional practices of hegemonic power systems (status quo) and norms in relation to social roles, as well as possible discussions and reflections triggered by this theme. The presentation and analysis of quantitative data was performed through tabulations in the Microsoft Excel® program, while the answers arising from the open questions were grouped according to associated themes: a) concepts about gender; b) how gender norms and roles are represented in Occupational Therapy practices and c) reflections by professionals in relation to this theme. The results were discussed under the light of the theoretical references of Occupational Therapy and a decolonial feminist perspective, pointing to the urgency of deepening gender issues in the field of Occupational Therapy in order to contribute to the production of transformative knowledge and practices, centred on social rights and in the plurality and diversity of existences and daily lives.

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important components of the Brazilian diet, as it is an excellent source of protein, and the incidence of diseases is one of the most important factors that affect its productivity. Common bacterial blight (CBC) is the main bacterium that affects this crop. Symptoms of BCC are observable throughout the plant, affecting from the seeds to the leaves. Tissue infection occurs through natural openings such as stomata and wounds. In this experiment, leaf incisions were made with scissors previously sterilized on the two primary leaves. Lesions are characterized by flabby tissue and surrounded by a narrow lemon-yellow ring. Resistance to BCC in common bean is a complex and quantitative characteristic, resulting from the interaction of several genes. The objective was to evaluate the severity of resistance of BCC disease using a Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Phaseoli (Xap 19) in a diversity panel of 149 bean genotypes from Rio de Janeiro. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, with seeds planted in 800ml pots with substrate. The experimental design was of 3 randomized blocks, with 149 treatments used, with 3 replications for each variety (149x3). The inoculation took place 10 days after planting the seeds and the evaluation was carried out 10 days after inoculation (total of 20 days). For statistical analysis, the Scott-Knott test was used. At the end of the project, the results were obtained that 85% of the genotypes were considered susceptible and only 15% moderately resistant, taking into account the severity parameter developed by RAVA in 1984 and the statistical analysis of the Scott-Knott test, was possible to conclude that there was a significant difference between the treatments.

Broccoli is a vegetable originally cultivated in regions with mild climate, a factor that makes so that its offer may be harmed by climatic variations resulting from the seasons of the year and the growing regions. Cultivars adapted to greater thermal amplitudes are already found in the Brazilian market, however, on a smaller scale, emphasizing the importance of of genetic improvement in the development of tropicalized cultivars that bring innovations to the vegetable market. That said, the present work aimed to evaluate the performance production of experimental hybrids of tropicalized purple broccoli, originated in UFSCar/Araras vegetable genetic improvement program, compared to varieties and commercial hybrids. The test took place in the city of Araras/SP, between 02/03/2020 and 07/08/2020, under a randomized block design with 3 replications and 11 genotypes, totaling 33 plots each consisting of 4 plants. The analyzed cultivars were commercial cultivars Hanapon, Hanabi, Seattle, Piracicaba, Santana, Calabrese and Goliath, and the experimental hybrids named 182, 132, 151 and 401. The mass parameters were evaluated total freshness, number of harvests carried out, number of secondary inflorescences, radius of main and secondary inflorescences, as well as length and diameter of the peduncles major and minor. The results were submitted to analysis of variance by the F test, obtaining means for the genotypes whose differences were compared through the test of Scott-Knott at 5% significance. The results obtained showed the suitability of the hybrids experimental 182, 132, 151 and 401, for planting during the summer in the state of São Paulo. Hybrid 182 stood out, which performed better than the commercial hybrid Hanapon regarding the total fresh mass and the number of secondary inflorescences, being similar to the hybrid Hanabi in these same parameters and, still, not showing segregation for the color and granulometry characteristics. Therefore, it was found that the experimental hybrid 182 is suitable for the growing conditions of the country, configuring a F1 hybrid of tropicalized purple broccoli, a new cultivar for the Brazilian market.

This undergraduate thesis, a work of course conclusion, inserted in the research project conducted by Profa. Dr. Luzmara Curcino, entitled “Proud readers, shamed readers: emotions in discourses about reading”, aims to raise and constitute a very specific corpus of statements about reading, obtained from interviews with famous people and published in national newspapers and magazines from different segments, available on the internet. We search in which there some mention, motivated (when, due to a question, they were asked to talk about themselves), or spontaneous (when even without being asked about it, they issued comments) about the reading or about themselves as readers. More specifically, we selected statements in which was expressed some emotions in relation to reading and the reading condition, like 'pride', 'shame' and, eventually, 'nostalgia'. In this work we constitute a concise and specific corpus of statements in which these emotions about reading were expressed in interviews given by nationally known personalities from the cultural field. Supported by some principles of Discourse Analysis and Cultural History of Reading, we observe how, in terms of reading, certain statements can be polemically received, require retraction, and became a reason for the 'shame' by their enunciators, or, on the other hand, became a sufficient reason for the display of 'pride' of being a reader.

Machine learning is an area of Artificial Intelligence that can predict results from a large set of data. Therefore, many areas are already benefiting from this new technology, such as credit analysis companies that use this mechanism for fraud detection, entertainment services for a recommendation system and in medicine for disease diagnosis. Currently, machine learning is not very often used in Chemical Engineering, but there are some studies with applications in the area that demonstrate that it can be a tool with great potential for Chemical Engineering. This work is a bibliographical review to understand more about machine learning, what is the learning process, the main tools and studies to exemplify these possible applications of machine learning in Chemical Engineering and emphasize its importance. Because of this potential, it is interesting to approach the subject in the learning of Chemical Engineering so students can have greater contact with machine learning and apply this knowledge in the industry. With this in mind, this work suggests some changes in the curriculum of Chemical Engineering students at Universidade Federal de São Carlos to include machine learning in the Chemical Engineering education

Considering the multiple uses syngas has as an intermediate for products with higher monetary value, it is natural that there should be a lot of effort to optimize its production. In this scenario, alternative chemical routes have been studied as substitutes to the traditional methane reforming, followed by its transformation into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, in order to guarantee the ideal proportion of each component to its main goal, whether in the production of fuels, ammonia, methanol or any other product that is derived from syngas. This study had the objective to study the bi-reforming process from methane prevenient from natural gas, one of the alternatives to the traditional reforming with the best results so far. In order to achieve this goal, a brief research about the state of the art of this process was made, followed by simulations using Aspen Plus V10©, with process conditions obtained from the literature. The results from the simulation were then combined with an economic analysis, which lead to conclusions about the economic viability of a bi-reforming industrial plant, as well as to proves regarding its advantages in comparison to other syngas production methods, with the main goal to contribute to the advances in this research field.

School violence is a growing and multiple phenomenon that affects people's lives in different ways. Scientific production shows that the expression of gender and sexual orientation is related to the increased risk of being a victim of violence and bullying in schools. This research promotes a dialogue between scientific evidence and the collaboration of Physical Education teachers for the prevention of violence, focusing on gender and sexual orientation. Therefore, the general objective was to structure fundamental knowledge that corresponds to training programs for Physical Education teachers, in order to qualify agents for preventing violence, especially violence based on gender and sexual orientation, through dialogue between Physical Education teachers and the scientific contributions to solving these problems. The articulation between the results of this research and scientific productions on violence allows us to claim the presence of specific knowledge in the initial training process, as well as the promotion of community training for prevention work. Among the fundamental knowledge for the prevention of violence, this research highlights the importance of interactions and socialization processes for the maintenance or overcoming of violence. Through preventive socialization, it is possible to educate children and young people, especially peer groups and friends, as essential factors in the work of preventing and overcoming violence. We also consider that the contents of Physical Education can be treated by the principles of dialogic learning and through Successful Educational Actions, especially interactive groups and dialogic model of prevention and conflict resolution. These paths are presented as concrete possibilities, considering that they are already serving as a basis for work developed in the area, especially due to the validation they have in view of the improvement in learning and overcoming conflicts and violence.

The concept of a Circular Economy has attracted worldwide attention in recent years due to the increasing need for sustainable production and consumption patterns in social, environmental and economic aspects. The Circular Economy is seen as an alternative to the current linear economic model, which uses the “take-make-dispose” industrial model and causes several negative impacts, such as environmental degradation, industrial waste and high CO2 emissions. The transition from linear to circular model is fostered by Industrial Ecology through the analysis of material and energy flows of industrial systems in closed cycles, in which industrial waste serves as input for other processes, thus eliminating the concept of undesirable by-product. The chemical industry and its technological innovations can accelerate this transition due to the enormous influence on many upstream and downstream production chains, such as the fertilizer industry. Nitrogen is the basis for these fertilizers and it is converted to ammonia by the Haber Bosch synthesis. This work was developed to study two different ammonia production processes which use alternative technologies, water electrolysis and chemical looping process, that can be adopted to accelerate the transition from the linear model to the Circular Economy model in the nitrogen-based fertilizers production. The positive and negative aspects of these processes were analyzed, comparing them to the conventional process. Both alternative processes are able to reduce or eliminate the negative impacts of the conventional ammonia production process according to the circular economy concept and investment is needed to develop these technologies to be applied on a large commercial scale.

As a society, we share a common representation of what it is to “be a reader”, that comes from a historically, socially and culturally constituted “discursive memory” about reading. In 2019, we witnessed an important downturn in the Brazilian economy, rising unemployment and a labor reform with relevant losses of rights on the part of workers. This economic crisis was accompanied, in 2020, by the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, several commercial sectors became even more fragile, such as the book sector. Then, the campaign #juntospelolivro was created, conceived by approximately 100 small and medium entrepreneurs in the book and publishing sector. This campaign had national circulation through Instagram and aimed to encourage reading habits and thus supporting the book trade. Besides, it consisted of a series of publications in the form of "posts" with this hashtag. With the analysis of these posts, we aim to analyze the discourses about reading and the reader mobilized in it. For this, we will analyze the verbal and non-verbal languages of these posts, as well as the argumentative strategies used. Our analysis is theoretically and methodologically based on principles of Discourse Analysis and Cultural History of Reading, as well as on studies by Brazilians researchers on reading. Among the results obtained in our analysis, we observed that, in these posts, we frequently resorted to the presentation of reading printed books as a healthy practice in this scenario of pandemic and social isolation. The posts of this campaign made special use of representations of reading as a form of “entertainment and hobby”, “therapy in times of pandemic”, and “company and antidote against loneliness” in times of social isolation. Thus, in a peculiar way to what we generally see about reading, we have more often found medical and therapeutic fields lexicon emerge in the characterization of this practice.

In the present study, a liquid fluidized bed was simulated using the Unresolved CFD-DEM approach, evaluating the application of three local void fraction calculation methods with six refinement levels for the mesh used in the simulations. Different fluid flow rates were tested for the possible combinations between method and mesh refinement levels: 35 L/min, 55 L/min and 75 L/min. The CFDEM®coupling software was used for the simulations. For the results analysis, the average void fraction values obtained in the simulations were compared to the values predicted by the Richardson-Zaki empirical equation. The local pressure fluctuation and the net mass flow rate were also monitored. Finally, the most satisfactory method applied was identified, as well as the most satisfactory mesh refinement level. Based on the results, it is recommended, for this solid-fluid flow, the use of the so called ‘Divided’ method with the 5-5-120 mesh, specifically regarding the agreement with the Richardson-Zaki equation, in which the errors presented were 1,35%, -1,42% and -1,39% for the flow rates of 35 L/min, 55 L/min and 75 L/min, respectively. In addition, the ‘Divided’ method also showed superior stability with respect to the local pressure fluctuation, once the average pressure values, for a given flow rate, were more similar between different grid refinement levels compared to the other local void fraction calculation methods, the ‘Divided’ method also showed smaller standard deviation in pressure fluctuations when compared to the other methods. Concerning the net mass flow rate, the conclusions conflicted. With 75 L/min, it can be observed that the bigger the mesh refinement level, the smaller the errors, for all methods. With 55 L/min, the 5-5-120 to 8-8-180 meshes showed better results, while for 35 L/min, the best result was observed for the 4-4-100 mesh.

As one of the main causes of the greenhouse effect and global warming, carbon dioxide (CO2) must have its emissions progressively controlled over the years. In this context, it is interesting that it is used as a raw material for obtaining products of commercial interest, such as methanol. In this paper, a simulation of a methanol production process from the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide was performed, using the DWSIM simulator, which is an open-source, free and multiplatform software. In the simulation, some variables were chosen to be optimized in order to make the process more competitive against the traditional methanol synthesis route and to study which parameters influence the process viability. The production costs of the ton of methanol produced via hydrogenation obtained ranged from U$ 325 to U$ 1031 depending on the hydrogen source. Strategically, the direct hydrogenation of CO2 has the potential to be used as an attached process to chemical and industrial plants that have carbon dioxide as a by-product. The main challenges are the costs of obtaining hydrogen, the relatively higher energy costs and the search for efficient and viable catalysts.

The fight for the right to education for the Target Public of Special Education (PAEE) has come a long way and this context encompasses Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Reflecting on the proposal of inclusive schools, social movements and the State's attempts to guarantee education for all, this research aimed to analyze the access, permanence, Specialized Educational Service (AEE) and the learning of deaf students in EJA. This is a research with a qualitative approach, at a descriptive level, with a case study design. Two deaf students enrolled in EJA, in a regular school in a city in the interior of São Paulo, participated. In data collection, semi-structured interviews and document review were used as instruments. For data analysis, the principles of the Collective Subject Discourse analysis were used, allowing the organization of the contents. We obtained the construction of five categories: accessibility, permanence, specialized educational service, learning and perspective, based on elements and characteristics in common between the sources. Data were analyzed and discussed in conjunction with the theoretical frameworks used. The results show that, considering the document search, the public policy on education is based on legislation in order to meet the needs of people and guarantee their rights, and also that, from the movement of society, this policy can create other laws, decrees, deliberations, regulations, guidelines for the benefit of all, or a majority, at the national and municipal levels. But considering what deaf students say about their educational experience, these laws still do not meet them, the school is not inclusive, access to communication, information, interaction, learning, assessment, specialized educational care, resources adapted materials and teaching materials are not possible. The conclusions, according to these sayings, trigger some inferences about the means or “channels” for disclosing information and rights and about the fulfillment of the role of the inspection bodies in the execution of public policy

Starting with a brief explanation about the excitation of electrons in valence and conduction band when a pn junction of a silicon crystal semiconductor with impurities is enlightened, which its working state in reverse bias is similar to the one of a diode, the theory that allows the usage of solar modules to create tension and current was developed, as well as the maximum power point under work. Following in an technical and objective manner, a small sized installation project for households was designed under few simple premises and that were able to supply the average residential consumption for any of the country’s geographic areas so that it allows to determine where would happen the minor and major impacts of such installation of a decentralized generating power unit regardless of its proportions. Through official government ministry’s data, future value expectancy information was extracted, from both electrical bills and consumption. It let testing and project’s validation that it was capable of providing sufficient electrical power to the average residential consumption even though there is variability in the solar radiation on the territory. North and Northeast regions had the highest and lowest relative raises in the bills’ prices (before taxes) until the suggested mark at the year of 2028. With the targets for a full analysis completely defined, economic viability indicators for both were observed, such as internal return rate and discounted payback time for a minimum attractive rate of return based on the review of a wind project (Macedo, Albuquerque e Moralles, 2015). The North hit an internal rate of return of 12,83% with a discounted payback time of 9 years and 8 months for an amount of produced energy able to supply for over two average households in the region. However, in the Northeast, the internal rate of return was 7,01% and the time it took to pay the invested capital was 13 years and 1 month, nonetheless it was capable to supply around three houses with an average consumption that was found. Lastly, the environment is conducive to sustain the growth rate seen in the literature review by many reasons that aren’t all related to an strategical economical decision and this mood could be backed up by certain political choices highlighted in this and other researches on the Brazilian energy matrix.
