Among the most widespread forms of practical application of ergonomic concepts, the activity centered ergonomic analysis stands out. This study aims to apply the Ergonomic Checkpoints Points (ECP) tool in activity centered ergonomic analysis, via Case Study method, to investigate possibilities of expanding the limits of collaborative solving of problems and the proposing of collective solutions, by using Expansive Learning concepts, from Cultural Historical Action Theory. This approach was applied in an environment characterized by access restrictions and lack of qualified personnel for doing more complex analyses, and in which the initial demand was focused on the design of artifacts in a small company of veterinary services. As results, we could point out the novelty represented by the joint application, in a case study, of concepts of Expansive Learning in situated ergonomic analysis, guided by ECP, resulting in aspects of learning and collective knowledge construction, bringing better situational awareness about ergonomic problems that affect the company, its operational context and the expansion of the consensual figuring of problems by company’s professionals, as immaterial aspects. As material results, we could cite data for establishing specifications, drawings and prototypes, instrumental for the development of solutions, through artifacts.

Modeling based on the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution has received considerable attention in recent years. In this work we consider the reparametrized Birnbaum-Saunders distribution with zero-adjusted (ZARBS) (SANTOS-NETO et al., 2012). This distribution admits the occurrence of zeros with positive probability, considering a discretecontinuous mixing model that is constructed using a probability mass at zero and a continuous component. ZARBS generalizes at least seven reparametrized Birnbaum- Saunders regression models. In this context, the main contribution of this dissertation is to study ZARBS under a Bayesian approach using the BAMLSS package developed in the R software, as well as to derive influence diagnoses for the model. Diagnostic methods have been important tools in regression analysis to detect anomalies, such as breaking assumptions in the stochastic part of the model, presence of outliers and influential observations. We assess the local influence on parameter estimates considering a perturbation scheme. To verify the potential of the proposed methodology, an application to a set of real data will be considered.

In the present work, we will use the Thermo-CalcTM software to model with the CALPHAD method the super-cooled liquid (SCL) that leads to the formation of metallic vitreous materials. This research aims to improve the database for thermodynamic calculations of SCLs in the computational study of materials, specifically some subsystems of the Fe-Mo-Cr-Nb-B system, since its application as a metallic glass coating combines exceptionally hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Thus, continuing the work of our group that modeled the Fe-Nb-B system with the same methods and models, we will describe the liquid molybdenum through the 2-state phenomenological model as well as the binary liquids Mo-Nb and Mo-B.

In the Brazilian context, the percentage of black and mixed-race women who play the role of mothers is higher than that of white women. Although very rare in the field of Occupational Therapy, studies show that the black population, specifically black women, experience inequalities and face situations of racism on a daily basis. In childrearing, the conditions of racial violence remain, expressing themselves in symbolic and physical violence in school contexts, work environments and in State policies. This study seeks to answer the following question “How does the experience of racism faced by black women affect their maternal occupations?”. The research, with a qualitative approach, adopted the body mapping storytelling that is based on oral narratives, graphic and artistic resources. Ten female mothers with a mean age of 35.9 years participated in the study. The generated data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results are presented in three parts: Part I. Ten motherhood stories narrated through body maps storytelling; Part II. What is a collective problem? Impacts of racism in the daily lives of black women mothers; Part III. Proposed agenda: exposing the messages of black women mothers to others. The centrality of the elements of race and racism is highlighted in the participants' narratives, which allow the identification of the processes of constitution of black identity permeated by episodes of violence in different contexts, with the school as the main stage. It is noted that, in the mothering process, from before conception to parenting and education, black women deal with concerns and fears related to the idealization of this child, as well as feelings of self-vigilance in spaces of racial socialization. When raising children, they even go through repertoires of racial rituals and etiquette that continue to be linked to a racist structure, albeit in an unintentional way. The study shows that black women mothers develop an occupational imaginary constituted and based on the maintenance, rupture or support of the transgressive teachings of the mother figure, as well as the individual elaborations of the constitution of their own black racial identity and consciousness, which may be related to a subjective level, and not necessarily at a political level. The occupational imaginary of black mothers materializes through an ingenious care work that seeks the protection and personal fulfillment of their children, but does not necessarily prepare and protect their children for the strengthening of black identity and mitigation of the complex and violent effects of racism. From a technical-professional point of view, the study provided foundations on the singularities and particularities of black mothers and childhoods that demonstrate the urgency of considering the specificities of these lives in the field of occupational therapy. This will guarantee the commitment and the ethical-political horizon in the construction of professional practices and innovative public policies capable of transforming the occupational contexts in which institutional racism is produced and perpetuated.

This thesis investigated how intra-party democracy has unfolded within two of the largest Brazilian political parties: PT and PSDB. For such, based on a case study, we aimed at the identification to the potential synergies and/or tensions between intra-party democracy and the process of party institutionalization, the formal party organizational structures and the process of candidate selection in PT and PSDB parties. The case study was carried out based on quantitative data, bibliographical sources, documents and semistructured interviews with leaders and candidates that ran for the Chamber of Deputies by the state of São Paulo in the 2018 election. As a result, we identified the existence of contradictory trends related to the implementation of internal democracy within the political parties in question, which at times move towards an expansion of grassroots participation, while at other times advance towards the autonomy of the leaders in detriment to the grassroots party members.

The worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and other emerging microbial infections have attracted particular interest in the design and development of new biocidal agents with a broad spectrum of activity. Since then, efficient strategies need to be implemented for the rapid diagnosis, prevention, control and treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, its variants, and other opportunistic pathogens. In the current scenario of SARS-CoV-2 infections, the technological challenge lies in the development of economically viable biocidal systems, reusable and capable of inactivating opportunistic pathogens, thus reducing the risk of infection and transmission. In this sense, Ag-based materials used in small quantities can become attractive for the development of new biocidal technologies. α-Ag2WO4, which already shows biocidal activity, when modified by electrons or femtosecond laser increases its biocidal activity up to 32x, against resistant bacteria (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Candida albicans) due to the generated metal-semiconductor interface (Ag/α-Ag2WO4). In addition, this modification makes this interface selective for combating bladder cancer cells (MB49), versus healthy cells (BALB/3T3), using model mouse cells. Ag/SiO2 immobilized on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) was another studied interface which showed 99.99% inhibition of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and fungi (Candida albicans), besides eliminating in just 2 minutes over 99% of SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates. In this way, safe biocidal technologies can be obtained using silver-based metal-semiconductor interfaces, which can be applied to the design of personal protective equipment (PPE), packaging, fabrics, hygienic implements such as implants and prostheses, and other devices economically feasible to combat the increase in pandemics and fatal risks associated with various pathogens.

This thesis analyzes the insertion of women as subjects of humor, more specifically of stand-up comedy, whose professional trajectories and performative constructions are marked by difference and the place of inequality they occupy. Based on a qualitative methodology grounded in interviews with 25 research interlocutors, on the analysis of internet videos and bibliographical research, I support the ambivalences in the debates about women as producers of humor, thinking about the key to the exercise of power. I argue that these ambivalences indicate shifts towards those that were not previously considered as producers of humor, while there are permanencies. Through performance studies, studies on laughter and humor, gender studies and studies on women and humor, I seek the comic making of the stand-up comedy and its power effects on the research interlocutors. I analyze the dispute for professional spaces between the circuits of comedians and the performative strategies of the research interlocutors, seeking how these women organize themselves, establishing ties and networks, to produce and create their own scenes and how this movement also reflects a greater diversification of the stand-up consumer audience. I explore the themes of women's narratives in stand-up comedy and argue for how they are motivated by their “annoyances”. Finally, I argued that, with the success of the performance, there is an exercise of power and transit of status by the comedians, who find in stand-up comedy a comedy model that allows them to control the comic narrative of that time and stage space without taking on other characters.

The need to strengthen concrete beams to increase the load capacity due to change not foreseen in the initial project or to problems related to the degradation of this structural system makes the use of composites in Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) a viable alternative for the execution of strengthening systems. However, due to the environment in which FRPs are inserted, their durability can also be affected over time. In this context, the present research aims to evaluate the degradation in the accelerated condition of reinforced concrete beams with and without using the strengthening system with carbon fiber sheets when immersed in constant humidity and controlled temperature. For this, eight reinforced concrete beams were made, with dimensions 12cm x 20cm x 250cm, longitudinal reinforcement rate equal to 0.75%, and concrete with compressive strength of 30MPa. The set of eight beams were divided into two groups according to the exposure environment; four were kept in natural environmental conditions, and four were exposed to the accelerated degradation protocol. In addition, each group had two pairs of beams with and without the application of CFRP strengthening. As a result, there was a significant increase in the load capacity for beams strengthened with CFRP compared to not strengthened, with an average increase of 41.5%. Regarding the influence of the environments, after the exposure period, the beams without the CFRP strengthening system showed similarity both in behavior and in the mode of ruin. However, the strengthened beams showed changes in the failure mode, changing the ductility of the models. To analyze the average bonding stress between the concrete and the strengthening system, pullout tests were executed, showing a reduction of 35.7% compared to the reference model. Finally, the analyzes were performed based on normative recommendations, comparing their maximum load and strain results with those obtained in experimental tests. Therefore, according to the ductility analysis, material deformation, cracking, and failure mode, there was evidence that the humid environment with controlled temperature may have caused degradation in the connection between the strengthening system and the concrete substrate.

This dissertation had as general objective to explain the memories of the contribution of the Municipal Council for Women's Rights of Sorocaba to the realization of equal rights and opportunities for women, considering the intersectionality of gender, class, race and sexuality. As specific objectives, the work sought to understand: 1) - The History of the Creation of Women's Councils in Brazil, 2) - Understand how the institutionalization of the women's movement took place and the importance of municipal councils for women's rights; 3) - Learn the history of the Municipal Council for Women's Rights in Sorocaba (Conselho dos Direitos da Mulher de Sorocaba) from the memories of the women who participated in the council. To unravel the proposed questions and point out possible answers, I opted for the oral history methodology. Starting from the following questions: why is it important to listen to the memories of the women who made the history of this council? Why is it important to hear them evoking their lived memories through their narratives? Thus, from these questions, I tried to unravel the scenario in which the remarkable events in the struggle for women's rights in the city of Sorocaba developed, which also express fragments of the struggle for women's rights in Brazil and around the world. By listening to the memories of the women who made the history of this council from 1984 to 2020, I was certainly able to unravel the scenario in which struggles, disputes, frustrations, the limits imposed on the women's movement developed and understand what makes the council a important political field of intervention, constituting a center that remains for debates on gender issues, and also the mechanism for the implementation of public policies for this same segment.

Ionomeric polymer-metal composites (IPMC) consist of an electroactive polymeric matrix coated on both sides with a noble metal. When applying an electrical potential difference, the polymeric membrane changes its thickness, causing a deformation. In addition, this type of device has features such as low weight, flexibility, and biocompatibility. Therefore, as actuators, IPMCs are a good choice for applications such as robotics and biomedicine. However, they have some disadvantages, such as reverse relaxation (tendency to shift in the opposite direction to that defined after some time of operation) and non-linear behavior arising from the hydration level of the polymeric membrane. For these reasons, controlling and describing the mechanical responses of these devices has been a challenge. Therefore, the overall objective of this study was to develop an effective system and instrumentation to control and characterize IPMC actuators under varying moisture and counter-ion conditions. A closed-loop PI controller (Proportional and Integral) aggregate with a machine vision algorithm was used. In this approach, a webcam is responsible for tracking the actuator's movement. However, it was necessary to perform some morphological and electrical characterizations beforehand to understand the properties and thus determine the best control condition for an IPMC actuator. Among them, water adsorption capacity, scanning electron microscopy, four probe method, impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometry. The entire system operates simultaneously and is controlled in real-time by LabView. The results prove that the system developed in this study effectively circumventing the reverse relaxation phenomenon and correlating control parameters with material properties.

This work aimed to comprehend the process of implementation of the National Policy for the Homeless Population considering the institutional arrangement in which it is inserted, and the identification of the state capabilities that were generated through them, and how it affected the process of implementation, given the observed results. For this, we began by presenting the main characteristics of the homeless population, approaching the repressive treatment that this population has received by the State throughout history. The higher marks of the trajectory of the fight of this population seeking recognition and achievement of rights were presented. Moreover, the process of the entrance of the demands of this population into the governmental agenda and the process of building the National Policy for the Homeless Population was also discussed. A brief discussion about the public policies and the concept of state capabilities was also performed, presenting a model for analyzing these capabilities. Following the model presented, firstly, the objectives and goals of the policy were identified, so the institutional arrangement was mapped, considering the actors, institutions, and relationships present in the process of implementing this policy. Based on the institutional arrangement mapped, the generated state capacities were identified and analyzed, being this analysis based on the results already identified with this policy implementation. As a way of data collection, the documentary research was performed in legislation and government databases. Based on the analysis performed, it was found that the capacities generated were enough to meet most of the objectives and goals of the National Policy for the Homeless Population. Besides that, it was observed a serious risk of regression with the freeze measures of the social spending and with the reduction of the user’s participation during monitoring the implementation of this policy, which can negatively impact the state capabilities.

Solutions to the environmental and social challenges of postmodern society converge on a common point: sustainability. Doing more with less and using environmentally friendly materials is imperative. Energy storage is critical to today's society. Some state-of-the-art limits for the current lithium-ion batteries need to be overcome in this scenario, including greater operational safety. Many research groups study several alternatives. Thus, this work aims to contribute to the development of improved solid-state batteries. Among the plentiful factors that contribute to the correct functioning of a battery, the electrochemical stability window of the electrolyte is one of them. In solid electrolytes, in general, this electrochemical stability window is overestimated due to the slow solid-state reaction kinetics. In fact, methods employing computer simulation have shown that the electrochemical stability of some solid electrolytes is lower than that estimated by experimental methods. Thus, the present work proposes studying the electrochemical stability window of the solid electrolyte NASICON Li1,5Al0,5Ge1,5(PO4)3 (LAGP) through cyclic voltammetry with three different cell configurations, one of which would be capable of detecting the real electrochemical stability window of solid electrolytes.

The beginning of teaching reveals itself as a phase under construction, permeated by challenges, perspectives and knowledge mobilized by teachers from different sources (historicity, training, experience). It is a transitional phase between initial training and professional practice considered decisive in the teaching career and, therefore, requires a look at research and discussions in the area. In view of this premise and aiming to collaborate with the deepening of research in this field, this study aims to analyze the parallelism between PIBID and professional knowledge, through the eyes of program graduates, contributing to the advancement of research in the field of teacher professionalization. The research outline is focused on the analysis of 15 beginning teachers, graduates of the Pedagogy/UFSCar course and who participated in the program, starting from the question about: what is the perspective of beginning teachers in relation to the professional knowledge that emerges from the actions of the PIBID/UFSCar Pedagogy and do they contribute to the initial training and professional performance of teachers at the beginning of their career? To answer this question, we will use as theoretical contributions and researchers in the area: Bozzini et al. (2018), Cruz et al. (2014), Gatti et al. (2014) and Sousa (2012; 2010) to discuss the historicity and contributions of PIBID; Tardif (1991, 2000, 2002) and Nóvoa (2009; 2019a; 2019b), to discuss teaching knowledge; Oliveira (2011), Mizukami, et al. (2014), for the discussion about teachers starting their careers. A qualitative research was carried out (BOGDAN AND BIKLEN, 1991; LUDKE AND ANDRÉ, 1986), and an exploratory-descriptive study (GIL, 2008; SELLTIZ et al. 1965), developed through questionnaires, with open and closed questions aimed at graduates in Pedagogy – UFSCar, PIBID graduates who participated in the program between 2015 and 2017. Based on these theoretical references, the data were analyzed and organized into five axes of analysis – identity profile of the participants; professional profile of the participants; vision of initial formation; view on participation in PIBID; vision of the experience/beginning of teaching. The results of the study show how the program offers numerous contributions to initial training and insertion into the teaching career, strengthening the parallel between training and profession; the construction of experiential knowledge enhanced by disciplinary and curricular knowledge; reflection on pedagogical practice; the use of different methodologies; the search for different teaching proposals and, consequently, greater security at the beginning of teaching.

Despite the legal provision for accessibility in urban public spaces, most sidewalks in Brazil are not endorsed with accessibility curb ramps. For people with reduced mobility, especially wheelchair users, both the absence of accessibility ramps and the lack of knowledge about their presence or not in a given location, restricts independent urban mobility and often discourages the movement of these agents, causing exclusion in the process of urban spaces democratization. The lack of information related to the location of these infrastructures is mainly due to the reduced availability of databases that cover them. Despite initiatives to map them, many methodologies become technically or economically unfeasible, such as the use of satellite images and field surveys. At the same time, the use of street-level images combined with artificial intelligence techniques, such as computer vision and neural networks, have been widely used to collect data on urban infrastructure. Seeking an alternative to this issue, the objective of this work was to use street-level images to build a labelled image dataset and enable the identification of accessibility curb ramps on sidewalks through object detection. To this end, the work began by obtaining Google Street View panoramas in a strategic way, based on census information on the occurrence of ramps and population strata. The accessibility curb ramps identified in these images were manually labeled for the construction of that image database and used in the training and validation of a convolutional neural network of the YOLOv4 object detector. From then on, training was performed varying pre-processing techniques and training parameters, thus, it was found that the use of Tiling and the use of pre-trained weights resulted in an average validation accuracy of the order of 65%. The main limitation of the research occurred in this stage, due to computational memory limitations for processing. Tests indicated that the network detects objects with an average accuracy of 85%, identifying about 77% of the objects in the test set. The resulting convolutional weights allowed ramps detection with varied designs, however, the neural network had a lower performance in the evaluation of partially occluded slopes or in a poor state of conservation. During the experimental procedures, it was observed that the adoption of the 65% threshold for detection accuracy led to a better balance between the number of correct and incorrect detections, as well as to enable the identification of proportionally small objects. The labeled image dataset elaborated in this work is a relevant contribution, considering that there is currently no similar database for accessibility curb ramps that includes Brazilian cities. In addition, the detector trained to identify curb ramps on public sidewalks proved effective, enhancing future applications that may involve the mapping of these infrastructures, the inclusion of other classes and the development of more elaborate applications.

Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) understands self-efficacy as a predictor of actions and behaviours adopted by people for a specific demand and context. Teaching activity is a specific occupation and is influenced by this construct. This research aimed to analyze the role of teaching self-efficacy in the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities (ID) from a formative action based on collaborative consulting. Three elementary school teachers participated. The research is collaborative, that is, it is a process of joint construction. This process involves the teaching practice to students with intellectual disabilities and theoretical knowledge and reflections mediated by the researcher. First, we performed ethical procedures and the preparation of fieldwork. After the proper approvals, the research began with the elaboration, application and evaluation of a collaborative consulting program for the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities. The instruments for data collection were: a questionnaire to characterize the participants and their actions for inclusion, a questionnaire to assess the Núcleo Comum, Escala de Eficácia Docente para Práticas Inclusivas de educandos com Deficiência Intelectual (EEDPI-DI), Protocolo de Observação de Situações Educacionais, Escala de Fontes de Autoeficácia Docente (EFAED) and a final evaluation questionnaire of the collaborative consulting program. The results showed that collaborative consulting proved to be an important strategy for promoting self-efficacy, especially during online teaching because of Covid-19 pandemia. There was an increase in self-efficacy perceived in all teachers who completed the collaborative consulting program. The sources of self-efficacy that were most evident in the teachers’ speeches were vicarious experience and social persuasion. The observation of models and study of contents about school inclusion were fundamental for building the perception of capacity and ability to include students with ID. The data also showed that feedback on the teaching work performed was an important element that can affect positively or negatively the actions achieved by the teachers. Based on the results found, this thesis discusses continuing teacher training for teachers whose goal is to include students with ID in regular classrooms. We also discussed the sources of self-efficacy present in the speeches of the teachers during their participation in the collaborative consulting program. This study has limitations, especially due to the small number of participants, whose data should not be generalized. Despite this situation, we believe that the relevance of this research is to produce knowledge about the role of self-efficacy of teachers to design strategies for the inclusion of students with ID in the studied city, considering the complexity and variability of situations and contexts where teaching is present. For future studies, we suggested the replication of the program developed here on a larger scale. In addition, the replication could be carried out with teachers from the final years of basic education. Moreover, this collaborative consulting program should be offered online, which may include professors from other Brazilian states.

Prioritizing public transport modes allows reducing externalities caused by the intense use of individual motorized transport modes and increasing the social welfare of the population. Exclusive bus lanes are the simplest spatial prioritization model, allowing a reduction in travel times, an increase in the operational speed of buses, a reduction in fuel consumption and a decrease in pollutant emission levels. Large urban centres are the object of most studies and projects for implementing public transport prioritisation systems. However, medium-sized cities have the fastest growing population and in 2010 they already concentrated about a quarter of the Brazilian population. These cities have the unique opportunity to design public transport systems in time to avoid that the problems observed in large urban agglomerations reach them. This paper seeks to develop a decision-making model for the design problem of public transport network by bus, more precisely the determination of priority roads for implementing bus corridors or exclusive bus lanes. The scope of the work is medium-sized Brazilian cities, with the application of a case study in Araraquara, a medium-sized city in the interior of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The proposed model is composed of the combination of two methods, a multi-criteria analysis through AHP - Analytic Hierarchy Process, and an optimization method with solution through a genetic algorithm. The former simplifies the city’s road network, considering socioeconomic criteria, land use, infrastructure and operation of the existing public transport system; the latter provides a set of solutions for implementing exclusive lanes. Results show that roads selected through the AHP method correspond to traditional transport axes in the city and form a connected network, a desired characteristic of transport networks. Optimization results show a significant reduction in travel times, ranging from 9.45% or 21.88 minutes, in the smallest network resulting from the optimization (17.87km) to 23.61% or 54.66 minutes, if the most extensive network, composed of 44.64 kilometres of exclusive lanes, is considered. The combination of both methods for the decision-making process is one of the major contributions of this work, besides being one of the first applications of an optimization method with solution through genetic algorithm in a real network of a Brazilian city.

Considering the growing demand for products that simultaneously meet the requirements of healthiness, good sensory acceptance and convenience, snacks based on fruits or vegetables have been a strong market trend. Another trend is that of food containing probiotics. However, most probiotic foods available on the market are dairy products. With a large number of people with restrictions to the consumption of dairy products and even to animal-based products in general, there is a growing need to introduce non-dairy probiotic foods to the market. The objective of this project was to produce a probiotic banana leather. The fruit leathers were made from banana puree and a film forming matrix. Two matrices were compared – a digestible one (starch) and a non-digestible one (bacterial cellulose - BC), and two probiotic strains (one sporogenic and one non-sporogenic - Bacillus coagulans BC4 and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-3, respectively), in addition to the presence of a plasticizer and prebiotic agent (yacon syrup). The different formulations were evaluated in terms of their physical properties and viability of the strains after oven drying at 50 °C, during storage at 25 °C and along the simulated passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The leathers presented tensile strength values between 1 and 3 MPa, the ones with BC showing significant higher strengths (p < 0.05), and the presence of probiotics significantly decreasing the tensile strength values. The shear force was also affected by the matrix (being higher for the BC-based leathers) and by the presence of L. acidophilus (which significantly decreased the shear force values). After the dehydration process, the viability of B. coagulans was reduced in about 1 log cycle when compared to that of the film-forming dispersion, showing about 7.6 log cfu g-1, while L. acidophilus did not show enough viability for counting (< 3 log cfu g-1). The viability of B. coagulans remained constant up to 187 days of storage at 25 °C. During the simulated passage through gastrointestinal tract, B. coagulans BC4 resisted well to the pH and enzimatic conditions of the stomach and duodenum, BC- and starch-based leathers released, respectively, 7.45 ± 0.12 e 7.77 ± 0.33 log cfu g-1 in the small intestine (without significant differences between matrices). Therefore, banana leathers can be promising non-dairy foods as carriers of B. coagulans BC4, however, L. acidophilus LA-3 could not be considered a suitable strain for the proposed process. It is recommended that a sensory analysis be carried out in the future with the different formulations of banana leathers to understand how differences in the texture can influence the product acceptance.

This paper has the objective of looking into the development of pedagogical practices aimed at ethnic-racial education, racism overcoming and ethnic-racial differences valuing at school through documents and teachers’ testimonies. Firstly its specific objective is to analyze, from teachers’ perspective, whether Centro de Mídias São Paulo (CMSPP) has developed practices that address the ethnic-racial theme and if these practices are appropriate. Secondly, it seeks to verify whether the teachers had access to initial and/or continuing education focused on the ethnic-racial theme and the relationship between this access and the development of pedagogical practices. At last, the impacts on learning in the developed practices have been analyzed through teachers' testimonies. For this purpose, 12 high school teachers who work at a peripheral state school in Jahu, São Paulo countryside, took part. Those analyzes were carried out from theoretical references such as Franz Fanon (2008) and (2015), Kabenguele Munanga (1986) and (2004) and Nilma Lino Gomes (2012), as well as some documents. Law 10.639/03 and Opinion CNE/CP 003/04, that structure the initial theoretical basis of the research in the search for an understanding of racism, from its origin to the present day, reaching the school environment. Therefore, participatory research was adopted as methodology, characterized by a qualitative approach of a descriptive, exploratory and explanatory nature, pinpointing the data compilation process through a questionnaire and a partially structured interview. The achieved results indicate that CMSP has fulfilled properly its role regarded to the development of the topic, meaning that a great amount of teachers had access to ethnic-racial themes, whether in initial training and/or continuing education, however, these are still insufficient as development of pedagogical practices that address these themes and, finally, the practices developed by the teachers were significant to the students.

This work aims to deepen the theme of telework in public servisse brazilian, observing the potentials and gaps, aiming to analyze and describe the possible benefits for the institution, for the servers and for society as a whole, also highlighting the possible challenges and difficulties from the planning process to the implementation process and control. By conducting an exploratory research on the experience of the study on the possibility of implementing telework on a campus of the Federal Institute of Education of São Paulo, from 2019 to 2020, together with the literature review on the subject, mainly in recent scientific articles, qualitative interviews were carried out with those involved in the process, aiming to form the triangulation of data (research, observation and interview). In summary, it was possible to observe that the existence of a previous technical study contributed to the use of telework on that campus during the pandemic caused by Covid-19, even if in an emergency manner. It was also noted that even with some challenges and limitations, positive perceptions are superior compared to negative perceptions regarding the permanence and use of telework in the post-pandemic period.

This dissertation seeks to propose a methodology for evaluating CBGs (City Building Games) that can help in the planning processes of urban mobility in Brazilian municipalities, from the perspective of National Urban Mobility Policy (PNMU). The criteria evaluated in the methodology are defined, based on Urban Mobility Plans (PMU) and Transit Oriented Development. Two of the main simulators, SC4 (SimCity 4) and C:S (Cities: Skylines), are evaluated based on the simulation of a region in the city of Araraquara. In this way, it is possible to compare the results and assess the strengths and weaknesses. The methodology allowed us to analyze the CBGs from the perspective of urban mobility, showing the various possibilities for building and evaluating scenarios and allowing the understanding of the impacts over time of a given set of actions. However, the games focus essentially on motorized vehicles (private or collective), leaving the means of active mobility as secondary and not even addressing the issue of universal accessibility for people with disabilities (important issues of PMU). Another important point to highlight is the purely economic view of the city in the context of these games, making it necessary to reflect on how the proposed interventions will affect the social and political dimensions of the affected community.
