This paper analyzes an apparent "new way of doing politics" and the change in the interest-state relationship, seeking, within the Argentine oil company Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales (YPF), the circulation and conversions of the company's board directors and executive directors between 2002 and 2020. The objective of the Thesis is to analyze the life trajectories of the board directors and executive directors of the Argentine oil company YPF, in the period 2002-2020, in the search for their attributes to create ideal types that allow us to think about the interest-State relationship. The research, based on the reflexive sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, is predominantly qualitative and uses prosopography method to immerse in the common characteristics of the group of directors of the company through a collective study of their lives. We argue that there could be cases in which directors, after passing through the company, create intermediary companies with which they will sell their services to YPF, which could be a new way of co-opting the State. We found five ideal types of directors: The classic, directors who have spent their entire labor life in the company; the interlocker, advisors who sit in more directories besides YPF; the revolving door, directors entering and leaving the civil service to the private sphere; the consultant/lobbyist who after YPF's departure creates his consulting firm or sells influence; and, the transgressor, who after leaving the company creates his own energy company.

Developing new strategies and tools to analyze the dynamics of water resources can help change the paradigm in city planning, optimizing decision-making, to help cities to remain hydraulically secure through investments that transform opportunities into solutions, and facing the adversities. The term Resilience has been gaining notoriety and supporters, both in academia and in management, for the development of applicable interdisciplinary tools and models since 2010, when the UN used the term to define cities capable of efficiently recovering from effects of any kind of risks and disasters. However, Urban Water Resilience (UWR) is still a term that has been little studied, approached, systematized, and applied in research related to the management of water resources. Thus, this work was motivated by the need to obtain interpretive data for the theme of UWR, considering its potential and importance regarding the construction of Resilience in general. Given the above, this research aims to propose guidelines and strategies for the incorporation of the UWR in municipalities based on the use of indicators. To achieve the intended objective, the direct or indirect presence of UWR in Municipal Plans of medium-sized Brazilian cities that are signatories of the international program Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready program was sought. In the next step, the Urban Water Systems (Water Supply, Sanitary Sewage, and Urban Drainage) were analyzed from the Components and Variables related to the UWR. Then, indicators associated with systematized variables were proposed, which were used in the proposed method for the incorporation of the UWR by the municipalities. As a result, it was observed that none of the Municipal Plans explicitly mention the term Resilience, although some aspects have been considered directly or indirectly. The systematization carried out resulted in fifteen Components and thirty-nine Variables, for which fifty-three Indicators were proposed that allow the monitoring of the UWR. Although the common practice of Brazilian cities in the division of Urban Water Systems has been maintained, an important advance towards making the city more resilient would be through integrated management of these, considering the UWR. Adopting the paradigm of unification of Water Systems and taking into account UWR will enable cities to assess the present and build the future by becoming water-safe cities.

The employment of biodegradable polymers is a partial solution to the problem of environmental plastic pollution, since conventional polymers are resistant to many environmental influences and it may take centuries for them to disappear completely from nature. Despite the environmental benefits and technical properties suitable for many applications, biodegradable polymers are generally limited by their performance and cost, which are relatively less attractive than conventional polymers. The residual fiber (RF), which is a by-product of the orange juice industries, can be plasticized with glycerol, under high temperatures and shear strain, resulting in the thermoplastic fiber (TPF). The use of TPF can reduce the costs of biodegradable polymers, enhance their biodegradability, and add value to agro-industrial waste. Thus, injected poly(butylene succinate), or PBS, specimens were produced with TPF additions in up to 50% mass fraction. The impacts of TPF content in PBS were evaluated by mechanical (tensile testing), thermal (Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Thermogravimetric Analysis), rheological, morphological (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and molecular weight (Size Exclusion Chromatography) analyses, in addition to the simulation of weight loss by burial. Although TPF did not significantly modify the PBS molecular weight, the rheological experiments have shown a trend for the formation of a physical interaction network with TPF additions from 30% onwards. Despite evidences of adhesion between the pectin/lignocellulosic fiber and pectin/PBS phases, the mechanical properties of the compounds were reduced, which was suggested to be due to excess glycerol and/or TPF mechanical characteristics. The weight loss, the appearance of a population with lower molecular weight, and the formation of holes on the PBS/50TPF surface, compared to the PBS surface, substantiate that TPF has potential to enhance the biodegradability of plastic products.

Due to population growth and an increasing motorized vehicle fleet worldwide, road safety is still a global challenge that persists despite the awareness campaigns and the legal enforcement instruments. Most of the road safety risk factors are completely preventable, and in this sense the drunk-driving needs a special attention since a few doses of alcohol can be enough to impair motor and sensory functions required for safe driving. Hence, an individual in such condition may represent a road safety risk even presenting a blood alcohol concentration within the local legal limits. Since drunk-driving is a recurrent problem, in this master thesis we proposed a complementary method for drunk drivers enforcement considering the physiological responses induced by alcohol as intoxication indicatives. We addressed the drunkenness classification problem by identifying facial temperature distribution behaviors related to alcohol consumption. Such features were extracted from individuals facial thermal images in both drunk and sober states by a Convolutional Neural Network, which enabled the automatic pose invariant feature extraction and the model inference interpretation. This approach allowed us to identify temperature variations between the forehead and nose regions as a drunkenness indicative and also to identify an asymmetric facial temperature distribution in inebriated individuals that was not showed by previous studies. Hence, we were able to demonstrate a relation between facial temperature distribution patterns and the alcohol metabolic cycle; evidencing the viability of using images to recognize physiological effects caused by alcohol.

The structural systems critical point of flat slabs happens on the connection slab-column through the shearing stressing concentrations which may lead to the punching phenomenon. According to the literature, there are multiples factors that influence on the punching phenomenon, and many theoretical and experimental research have been developed willing to comprehend its behavior and then estimate the connection slab-column punching resistance. However, yet there is no sizing model completely accept by the technical scientific community which is able to estimate and explain such phenomenon and all of its influence parameters. In this context, this study aims proposing, by statistical analysis applied to experimental studies, a limit punching tensile strength predictor equation of the internal slab-column connection, with no shear reinforcement and symmetrical loading, on reinforced concrete edifications. Therefore, it has been evaluated the punching resistance predictor models presented by the literature and the mainly norms through a vast database containing the manly punching influencers parameters. The proposed model, based on only five real model variables – Slab geometry (Geo), Pillar dimension (L), useful slab height (d), concrete compression resistance (fc) and bending bar rate (ρ) – estimated the limit punching tensile strength (Pu) on internal slab-column connection with a 3% error order and R2 adj = 97.28%.

The general objetive was to investigate psychodynamics of stress and possible implications for the health and subjetivity of professors in a Graduate Program at renowned public university. We started the hypothesis and the existence of professors with stress and how this condition could lead to psychological suffering and health problems. The specific objetives were: Identifying existence of stress or the absence of stress, and in which phases (alarm, resistance, near, exhaustion and exhaustion); identifying existence of positive indices of common mental disorders or the absence of common mental disorders; characterizing the daily work, the existence of pressures, conflicts related to the demands of the management model and work evaluation; raise data indicative of the intensification of professor work. Also, Questionnaire and Semi-structured Interviews were used as methodological instruments. The Questionnaire was applied to 24 professors and it includes the Stress Symptoms Inventory (ISSL), the Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and questions about work, health and family life. The Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 7 professors and dealt with the theme of stress at work. Stress was found in 33.33% of the sample. After, analyzing the questionnaire data, commented summaries of the interviews and analysis of Categories A (Intensified work) and B (Suffering, stress and illness) were presented. We conclude that stress on teachers is characterized by biopsychic wear related to intensified work and the institutional dynamics of the university.

Este trabajo busca demostrar cómo Carolina María de Jesús crea una identidad a través de su escritura, como una escritura de sí misma. A través de las vivencias que tuvo en su vida, marcada por la violencia y el racismo, en el contexto de una sociedad marcada por la herencia de la colonización que jerarquiza al negro en base a estereotipos negativos, impidiéndole romperlos. Carolina se reterritorializa en la literatura como una forma de existir y servir a su propósito: mi sueño es escribir. Carolina escribe sus experiencias de vida reinterpretando su pasado y transformándolo en experiencias para la nación.

In the midst of digital information and communication technologies, it is not enough for the teacher to know how to use these technologies on a daily basis. The society of the technological age brings the need for teaching knowledge about digital information and communication technologies in order to pedagogically incorporate them into educational practices. In this doctoral research entitled 'Literacy and digital literacy in teacher education for the early years of elementary school', we aim to analyze how literacy and digital literacy in teachers was incorporated into initial teacher education courses for the early years of elementary school, specifically of the Licentiate Degree courses in Pedagogy, from Resolution CNE/CP nº 1 of February 18, 2002, the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Graduate Course in Pedagogy of 2006, Resolution nº 2 of July 1, 2015. For this purpose, we investigated the training proposals of fifteen higher education institutions in Brazil, with grade 5 in ENADE/2017 and that made their Political Course Projects available online or for download in PDF. From the reading of these documents, and specifically the syllabuses of disciplines that address TDICs, we analyze the nature of such disciplines and how they address disciplinary and professional knowledge about TDICs and the pedagogical area, as well as the concepts of technology and literacy and teaching digital literacy that subsidize the years of initial training. In the fifteen institutions analyzed, we found thirty-four subjects that propose the study of TIDCs, and in more than 70% of the HEIs these subjects are mandatory, the prevailing technology concept is that of information and communication technology, and there is the proposal training from the perspective of literacy and teacher digital literacy. However, despite these data, which we analyzed as positive, we observed the absence of curricular integration between disciplinary knowledge about TDICs and disciplinary knowledge in areas related to pedagogical knowledge, specifically those focused on the early years of elementary school. Our main theoretical contributions in the area of technology and teacher education were Vani Moreira Kenski, Maria Luiza Belloni, Monica Fantin and Pier Cesare Rivoltella; in teacher education Bernadete Angelina Gatti, Elba Siqueira de Sá Barreto and Marli Eliza Dalmazo de Afonso André, as well as training documents from the Ministry of Education, and in literacy and digital literacy Monica Fantin and Pier Cesare Rivoltella, Monica Fantin and Gilka Elvira Ponzi Girardello , Carolyn Wilson, Alton Grizzle, Ramon Tuazon, Kwame Akyempong and Chi-Kim Cheung and Marisa Narciso Sampaio and Lígia Silva Leite.

The development of new heterogeneous catalysts is of fundamental importance to expand their applicability and enable a sustainable future. For this, varying synthesis parameters of those catalysts it is a fundamental study that can provide a better understanding and control of structures. In this scenario, after the great discovery of mesoporous silicas of the M41S family, the SBA-15 molecular sieve emerged, which presented several structural advantages over the predecessor materials. Only few studies do the variation of the acid source in this synthesis, and this introduces other species of counterion into the reaction medium, thus this could generate interesting’s structural properties. The interaction of anions with amphiphilic molecules are given by the Hofmeister tendency of the anions. Therefore, the present work aims to investigate the effect of the counterion from the textural and structural properties of SBA-15 materials. The results showed that the conjugated base from the acid source affects the structural properties in diverse ways. In general, it was noted that the greatest structural effect promoted by salting-in anion acids (NO3-, Br-) were the most compact structures, and salting-out anions (HSO4- and Cl-) promoted larger pores and better ordered materials, possibly due to the effect of the counterion on the micelles according to the Hofmeister series, following the ability of each anion to hydrate. It was observed that the synthesis with HNO3 has a greater potential for functionalization and that with HBr may have higher hydrothermal resistance, enabling more specific applications to these mesoporous silicas. The counterion effect on the synthesis of [Al]-SBA-15 were also investigated, and an efficient new synthesis methodology was developed. The materials demonstrated distinctions only by structural and textural properties. In this sense, as the catalytic activity and the preliminary results of acidity did not show great differences between the materials, the synthesis of SBA-15 and [Al]-SBA-15 can be reformulated for the use of H2SO4, a cheaper acid that has advantages over the standard synthesis with HCl, which presented residual chloride in the structure of pure SBA-15.

Considering the advance of knowledge about Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the changes that have occurred in the characterization of people with autism according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Problems Health (CID) and the emergence of new diagnostic tools, questioned what procedures physicians specialized in pediatrics, neuropediatrics and/or neurology employ to perform better-informed diagnoses in the investigation of ASD. Therefore, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures used by pediatricians, neurologists and neuropediatricians to screen and diagnosis of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); Describe the training and experience of these professionals in carrying out diagnoses of children with autism/ASD; Identify the criteria that these doctors use for early diagnosis; and Identify the knowledge of professionals about ASD. The design was descriptive with a mixed approach. The participants were professionals graduated in the medical course, specialized in pediatrics, neurology or neuropediatrics who practice the profession in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The professionals were identified in the lists of specialties available for online consultation on the websites of health plans and a website of medical schools in Brazil, selecting those from the interior of São Paulo. With the lists in hand, the professionals were contacted via email or telephone. The questionnaire was applied online via Google Forms. The study had descriptive statistical analysis. Nine pediatricians participated in the research, one specialized in neurology and neuropediatrics. The results showed that for physicians, the characteristics of ASD are present in social communication, motor movements, the use of stereotyped or repetitive objects or speech, and, in some cases, persistence in social interaction. Most doctors do not work with a multidisciplinary team and those who claimed to work said they had the support of the Occupational Therapist and the Speech-Language Pathologist as the main team members. As for the resources, the most used manual and/or booklet were the ICD-10 and the DSM-V, which are the most updated. Besides these, they use the instruments: M-CHAT, CARS and the ADOS or ADOS-2. Regarding the procedure for making the diagnosis, the physicians informed that they consult other specialists, with the neuropediatrician being the most indicated, in addition to relying on the child's family help, tests, anamnesis, behavioral assessment. Six participants informed that according to their experiences, the diagnosis is being early and is completed by the child's 3 years and 11 months of age. It is concluded that physicians have up-to-date information on the characterization of ASD, know the procedures to be performed to make a diagnosis, and are doing it early.

The industrial distillation process is complex and since the adoption of ethanol as a fuel, replacing gasoline, it has become a strategic process for the country. Wines produced from fermentation have a concentration of 6.4 to 9.7% w/w of ethanol and commercial hydrous bioethanol must have a concentration of 92.6 to 93.8% w/w. Ethanol losses in vinasse and phlegmasse are important parameters during the operation of a distillery, as they determine the efficiency of the distillation process. Chemical process simulation software’s play an important role in the development of new processes and in the analysis of already consolidated processes, enabling testing hypotheses and comparisons with the reality of a plant in a practical, economically viable and assertive way. In the present work, the simulation software Aspen Plus® (Advanced System for Process Engineering), commercialized by Aspen Tech, was used. The work was intended to simulate a real distillation column to obtain hydrous bioethanol, considering a constant Murphree stage efficiency scenario associated with a 0.027% ethanol loss in the vinasse stream and a produced hydrous bioethanol content of 92.7% w/w. The consumption of steam obtained was 2.88 kg/L ethanol, it was observed that drops in steam pressure result in loss in vinasse and impact the purity of the ethanol obtained. The column reflux ratio determines the purity of the ethanol obtained and the optimal ratio is between 2.7 and 4.2. The simulated temperatures satisfactorily approached the operating temperatures, demonstrating that the simulation represents the real process.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of different media strategies used in the dissemination of scientific works produced by Brazilian researchers, determining whether these are being effective in transmitting the knowledge generated by the authors of the works in a faithful and instigating way. For this, four scientific dissemination contents in biological sciences were selected, written and published by Facebook and Instagram pages that were not officially related to any research institution, that were not part of large media conglomerates and that had a significant number of followers. Then, a questionnaire was applied to the public participating in the research to assess their perception of the different scientific dissemination materials in question. Finally, the answers provided by the public were forwarded to the authors of the published academic papers so that they could assess whether the information about their work – such as the methodology used, the results obtained and the conclusion of the study – were faithfully transmitted by the media. The data collected through this study showed that the volunteer public had difficulties in answering which methodologies were used in each of the studies published by the scientific dissemination contents addressed. Furthermore, it was evident that a large part of the public did not know how to precisely differ the results of a study and its conclusions.

Educational Robotics is a regular subject in some Brazilian schools, helping Basic Education students to learn and develop skills. Considering that educational institutions in the country must apply the Common National Curriculum Base as a referential to their pedagogical proposals, robotic activities comprise the development of abilities expected by the document. Among the ten general competencies, the second one, depicted as Scientific, Critical and Creative Thinking, is defined through characteristics that can be reached through RE. However, the literature lacks evidence on how the development of the second competence benefits from Robotics, thereby indicating the need for further investigations on the topic. By understanding that students from the early years of Elementary School can participate in classes, the general objective of this research is to observe if the performed activities allow the development of the second general competence from Common National Curriculum Base in first-grade students. For this sake, initially, a literature review was conducted on the context of the study, by defining theoretical sources, selecting the most relevant works, and discussing the found information. Then, field research was performed in a company that develops robotic activities to identify the employed methods and materials. Later, an exploratory study interviewed teachers through a questionnaire to identify their perspectives and practices during classes. Finally, classroom observations were planned, executed and analyzed in two stages: the first was conducted during online classes, and the second, during in-person activities. Classroom observations lead to evidence that students who engaged in robotic activities revealed skills associated with the second general competence of the National Common Curriculum Base. As an additional contribution, the rubric stands out, consisting of key dimensions and actions, one of which is intended to assist in the assessment of the development of the Scientific, Critical and Creative Thinking competency.

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most important fruits in the world and is widely cultivated in tropical countries. In Brazil, after oranges, it represents the most important crop, not only for its high production volumes, but also for its consumption and commercialization. It is a culture that develops through social relations and family-type production which, depending on their geographic location, present several socioeconomic restrictions, mainly low education and deficient public policies, factors that make the process of commercialization and quality production difficult. Therefore, the objective of the research is to characterize banana production via family farming in the municipalities of Miracatu and Sete Barras and to analyze, through the SWOT matrix, perspectives for improvement for producers. For this, two types of questionnaires were used, one for farmers and another for cooperatives/associations. We interviewed 21 producers and two cooperatives in Sete Barras and 13 farmers, an association and a cooperative in Miracatu. With the information collected, it was possible to deduce that the organizations of the two municipalities were born driven by the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) and the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) of the Federal Government, with the objective of collaborating with the cooperative members in the production and banana marketing. Although these institutions have the same objective, the management philosophies were different, and Sete Barras has production initiatives with sustainability practices, while Miracatu has, as a priority, production in the conventional system. The cooperative members/associated with these organizations proved to be governed by the same system, since the farmers of Sete Barras presented a diversified culture in organic and agroforestry systems, while the producers of Miracatu mentioned that they are primarily dedicated to monoculture and conventional production.

Pregnancy and childbirth are considered predictors of Pelvic Floor Muscle (PFM) disorders. Preventive or treatment strategies involve the correct contraction of this musculature and perineal massage during pregnancy to reduce the chance of perineal trauma. However, to date, a gold standard method for evaluating PFM and avoiding or minimizing perineal trauma has not been established in the literature. This thesis consists of two studies with the following objectives: Study I: The objective was to evaluate measures of diagnostic accuracy of the PeritronTM manometer to distinguish pregnant women who were able or not to sustain and cranially elevate the pelvic floor muscles during maximal voluntary contraction. This is a cross-sectional study in which the diagnostic accuracy was evaluated to determine variables that distinguish primiparas in the third trimester of pregnancy, who have or not the ability to contract PFM correctly, through vaginal palpation, classified by the Modified Oxford Scale and vaginal manometry (PeritronTM) as a reference test, based on sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) curve. In conclusion, the variables that showed the best results of diagnostic accuracy to distinguish women who perform a correct PFM contraction were the peak, the mean, the onset time of the contraction (gradient), the duration of the contraction time and the area under the curve. Study II: The main objective was to compare the effects of perineal massage on the pelvic floor muscle function of postpartum primiparae submitted to cesarean or vaginal delivery. The secondary objective was to assess the prevalence of urinary symptoms and the risk of female sexual dysfunction among women who underwent perineal massage and the control group. This is a controlled clinical trial, which evaluated the effects of perineal massage (performed in the third trimester of pregnancy) on pelvic floor muscle function 60 days after delivery of primiparae who underwent cesarean section or vaginal delivery. Initially, the pregnant women were divided into two groups: perineal massage, in which they were instructed to start the technique from the 34th gestational week, and a control group, which received general guidance without performing PFM-related techniques. In conclusion, women who underwent perineal massage had better pelvic floor muscle function after delivery when compared to women in the control groups, regardless of the route of birth.

Scientific dissemination encompasses all forms of circulation of scientific and technological content in society, and is not restricted to a specific audience or format. Scientific communication has, by character, to disseminate the results of a scientific research among peers – the specialized public. This way of transmitting information is of great importance, as it is a way of keeping the academic community informed about scientific and technological advances in the area in question. Scientific dissemination is intended to inform and disseminate knowledge in scientific and technological areas to the non-specialized public, emerging as a solution to the scientific inaccessibility of a large part of the population, through methods to popularize science. This paperwork aims to analyze the scientific diffusion accomplished based on the paperworks associated with graduate studies that acts on the theme of biodiversity, based on a case study of the Graduate Program in Fauna Conservation (PPGCFau), at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) with the collaboration of the Zoo Park of São Paulo Foundation (FPZSP). The project aims to quantify the PPGCFau paperworks that were broadcast in the media, and to answer whether the most used communication media were those of scientific divulgation or those of scientific communication. The list of dissertations completed at PPGCFau in the period from 2013 to 2019, and the information related to them in the annual reports of the CAPES Sucupira Platform were made available by the PPGCFau Coordination. Moreover, the authors were also contacted by e-mail, in order to complement and obtain new information about the dissemination of the paperworks in other vehicles after the end of the production accomplished in the graduate program. The paperwork concluded that all technical-scientific productions accomplished at the PPGCFau between 2015 and 2019 were disseminated in communication vehicles, and that diffusion in scientific communication media was superior to diffusion in scientific divulgation media, highlighting that the main vehicle of scientific communication was Workshops. Lastly, it was noticed that scientists responsible for scientific productions and journalists need to generate more content for scientific dissemination to maintain equality of surrounding information between specialized and lay public - especially in an area as important as the conservation of fauna -, to popularize scientific debates in all social layers.
