The development of interconnected, digitized, autonomous and integrated processes in different parts of production systems has been supported by technological advances in Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 encompasses a wide range of technologies, among which are technologies that support the generation and analysis of large volumes of data in real time, supported by technologies such as Big Data, Big Data Analytics (BDA) and Internet of Things (IoT), which support the search for operational improvements such as optimized flows and real-time anomaly identification. Similar goals are shared by operational improvement methodologies such as Six Sigma (SS) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS), which over the past 3 decades play an important role in process control and improvement following the DMAIC structured method and tools and techniques for data analysis. Technological advances from Industry 4.0 technologies can support and expand the resources of the SS methodology, making it possible to reach other levels of operational performance. To identify the main technologies of Industry 4.0 that can be integrated with the SS methodology, the main relationships and benefits and the future in this field of study, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out considering the Web of Science and Scopus databases. As a result, it was identified that the technologies that most support SS are Big Data, BDA and IoT and that the relationships presented that these technologies positively support data analysis and better decision-making in improvement projects. Considering the evidence of the relationship between the Six Sigma methodology and the BDA, the proposition of hypotheses and a theoretical model were developed with the aim of investigating through a survey of relationships between the practices of BDA, SS and quality and business performance. A survey was carried out with SS specialists from several Brazilian manufacturing companies, in a total of 171 founders. The proposed model and hypotheses were confirmed using the PLS SEM technique, showing that the BDA positively impacts SS practices and when integrated, it has a greater impact on improving quality and business performance.

Animals of medical interest are a public health problem that exist for a long period. The scholarship environment becomes an important factor for the ethical construction of the individual, through awareness of the information, and prevention of how to act in the face of an accident with those animals. The lack of knowledge or misinterpretation about these animals and the presence of myths and legends reveal that this theme deserves greater attention within schools. The main objective of this study is to carry out a critical analysis of the perspective, care, and understanding of science/biology teachers and 9th-grade students, on the issue related to accidents with animals of medical interest. This research was carried out from the qualitative analysis. The collection instrument was the questionnaires, that were made to verify the knowledge about animals of medical interest in the school, allowing the free expression of the respondents in closed and open questions. We concluded that students and teachers were able to relate animals and their dangers, and would have positive attitudes in the face of an accident. This work enables future research related to animals of medical interest, both in terms of teaching and teacher training.

The growing number of people suffering from overweight and obesity increases the demand for the development of intervention models for lifestyle adjustments based on the regulation of energy balance and adipose tissue metabolism. The study aimed to verify the influence of inperson and on-line intervention model on adipose tissue metabolic markers in obese women; 40 obese adult volunteers aged between 20 and 45 years will be selected, who will undergo 12 weeks of in-person and on-line multidisciplinary therapy with physical assessment, and collection of biological material for biochemical analysis, along with on-line support through emails, WhatsApp®, social media, and obesity-themed videos on an on-line platform (www.#12weeksfor, eat, fit, live). At the beginning and the end of the study, the volunteers performed a physical assessment of body composition, biochemical analyzes (glucose, adiponectin, leptin, and PAI-l). Volunteers could ask questions daily via email or WhatsApp® and received information about diet and exercise. The results were analyzed using SPSS software – version 22.0, for OS. Data normality was obtained using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test and expressed as mean and standard deviation (SD). To compare the means found between groups and intragroup, ANOVA Two Way and Fisher's post-hoc were applied, adopting the value of “p”, and thus verifying the significance found between the values. The dependence behavior of the variables was verified by simple linear regression. Based on the findings, it was possible to conclude that 12 weeks of in-person and on-line therapy can be widely used to combat obesity in this population, which reinforces that, even in a short space of time, significant changes can occur in all components of the body composition, as well as in the leptin, adiponectin and PAI-1 fractions. However, more studies need to be carried out to confirm in the long term and through a cut-off study that can cover a larger number of participants, thus fully elucidating and understanding the exact mechanisms that are involved in the weight loss process, changes in body composition, changes in leptin, adiponectin and PAI-1 fractions.

The removal of the microplastics glitter by fluxing results in its disposal in sewage treatment plants or deposition directly in aquatic ecosystems, enabling a broad interaction with biota. In this context, this study analyzed the photosynthetic rates (by the light and dark bottle method) of the submerged macrophyte Egeria densa in the presence of three concentrations of glitter: 0.0235 g (T1/T4), 0.0117 g (T2/T5) and 0.0058 g (T3/T6), as well in its absence (control treatment, CT1 and CT2). We tested 800 apical fragments of E. densa distributed in 8 subtreatments (4 under light conditions and 4 in the dark to obtain respiration) with 100 macrophyte fragment in each). The highest net photosynthesis rate (NP = gross photosynthetic (GP) rate subtracted from respiration (RD)) of E. densa was observed in the CT1, showing differences of 13.0%, 32.8% and 59.3% higher compared to T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Only the P N in T1 was not significant (p > 0.05) compared to the other glitter concentrations (T2 and T3). In T1, the highest mean respiration rate (RD) of E. densa was observed, and in T3, the lowest. The presence of glitter may have increased the reflectance, as it is a suspended particle, and resulted in the predominance of regular reflection, common in a well-polished metallic surface. The glitter reflects radiation decreasing the light absorption, altering the utilization of underwater radiation by E. densa. The larger amount of microplastics may result in the continuous reflection of radiation between the suspended glitter particles, allowing them to remain in the bottle, resulting in the higher NP in T1 compared to T3. However, it is considered that Egeria densa has a reduced distribution in places with intense sediment resuspension, and therefore it is assumed that in natural environments the photosynthetic response would be represented by T3. We concluded that the presence of glitter interferes with the absorption of light necessary for photosynthetic processes, reducing it, enabling an imbalance in the metabolism of the ecosystem.

The research aimed to identify and characterize the planting, production and water conservation projects implemented in the Atlantic Forest Biome of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo in southeastern Brazil and in Catskills in New York in the United States, interrelating with the traditional and technical knowledge of the rural producers located in geographic territories where public policies for the management of water resources are implemented it. The inspiration for the conceptual bases and the theoretical framework adopted was based on timeless authors such as Thomas Khun and his reflections on Paradigm, as well as the reflection on Social Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School and on the School of Sociology of Knowledge by the Forte Program. The counterpoint of the authors and schools mentioned is confronted by Karl Popper's Falseability Theory. The method of study in multiple cases was used to research the projects: Conservador das Águas in Extrema-MG; Plantadores de Água in Alegre-ES; and the Catskills Watershed Corporation (CWC) in New York in the United States. The dissertation is characterized as qualitative research through participant observation techniques and through an ethnographic approach in the three case studies investigated in loco. The research was developed in four layers: 1) the theoretical magnifying glass, through bibliographical research; 2) the documental magnifying glass, through content analysis of institutional-legal records, maps and files that conceived the projects; 3) through the analytical listening of institutional actors, through scripted interviews recorded with the creators, formulators, managers and executors of the projects; and 4) by listening to rural producers and landowners, residents and tourists, through semi-structured interviews with project participants. Forty-nine interviews were conducted. The result presents a comparative table of findings and discoveries for the conservation of natural resources, guidelines to improve monitoring, expansion of communication, social participation and the governance arrangement implemented. The three researched projects have common aspects such as ecological sustainability, environmental education, and management of water resources in each territory and the challenges to overcome difficulties, for the continuous improvement necessary for the improvement of each project, considered forefront in environmental management both in Brazil and in the United States. Several outcomes point to more similarities than differences. The three projects develop actions for the revitalization of the watersheds.

This research is characterized as a quantitative-qualitative study of the documental case study type. Its study proposal was based on the following problem questions: what are the perceptions of Pedagogy students at UFSCar-So in relation to Geography as a specific professional knowledge? And how is this specific professional knowledge presented to future teachers? Therefore, the study drew on primary sources such as the Pedagogical Project of the Pedagogy course at UFSCar-So (2014) and the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Pedagogy course (2006), also through the analysis of a questionnaire applied to students of the course for classes 2009 to 2016. To provide the context of the study theme, a presentation was made about the training of pedagogue teachers in Brazil and that which takes place at UFSCar-So, understanding that this training needs to promote the construction of professional knowledge for educational practice, in this case, specific training focused on the area of Geography and understanding its relevance for the early years of Elementary School, analyzing the training of these professionals present in the discipline of Methodology and Practice of Teaching History and Geography. Bearing in mind the objective of the research, which was to understand the formative perceptions of students from the Sorocaba campus Pedagogy in relation to Geography as a specific professional knowledge, the analyzed documents presented a teacher training guided in the molds of the DCNs (National Curriculum Guidelines for the course of Pedagogy) and that, therefore, they present a broad and diversified formation pointed to weaknesses in the specific teacher education regarding Geography present in the formative discipline of Methodology and Practice of Teaching History and Geography, at the same time, in which the participating students they conceive formative perceptions related to observable Geography in their curricular structure in light of the weaknesses identified through the legal documents and the bibliography presented, and also what they understand as a critical and reflective teacher education of teaching practice, culminating in the appreciation of the discipline of Geography and your i importance for the early years of elementary school.

Facing global climate challenges and the search for sustainable development, the creation of parks in urban areas has become a strategy to deal with these issues. Among the green areas of cities, the Urban Park is a category that has multiple benefits and functions. Therefore, instruments that aim for a better planning and management of these places are extremely relevant. Widely spread within the Conservation Units (UCs) context, the Management Plans aim to provide relevant information about the managed location, the zoning of the area, the rules of use, instructions for the management of natural resources, among other guidelines. In the city of São Paulo-SP, the “Master Plans for Municipal Urban Parks” also aim to delimit and provide fundamental guidelines for the management of these places. The mentioned contexts suggest that the search for relevant characteristics of these instruments can be useful in the construction of management documents for urban parks in general. Therefore, the objective of this research is to present subsidies for the elaboration of management instruments for urban parks. From the analysis of Methodological Guidelines for the Elaboration of Management Plans, proposed by ICMBio and by the São Paulo Environmental System, it was possible to list elements that could possibly guide the formulation of instruments focused in urban parks. Management Plans and Master Plans of Urban Parks in areas located in the city of São Paulo-SP were also analyzed and allowed the observation of factors that can be incorporated into the management of urban parks and aspects that can contribute to the development of similar instruments in other cities. The results obtained indicate that management instruments for urban parks should be designed and structured taking into account the characteristics of the area and its surroundings, promoting shared management, delimiting zones to ensure compatible uses, identifying programs and actions, defining administrative procedures and management, as well through constant monitoring to promote the adaptive management of these places.

In this Course Completion Work, we propose a reading of the novel O susto (1958), by Agustina Bessa-Luís, from the mobilization of aspects referring to the category of characters in order to understand the phenomenon of references of novelistic creatures to figures of Teixeira de Pascoaes and Fernando Pessoa. The main aim is to demonstrate in detail a narrative strategy of the author, in which external and latent traits and characteristics of the Portuguese canon are subtly introduced in the work in an allusion to two references of Portuguese poetry. This gives the novel some peculiarities with regard to the construction of characters characterized as artists. The Augustinian novel makes the textual limits of genre tenuous and intensifies the discussion about artistic creation itself, and its writing enables a metaliterary discussion about this process or even about the literature produced in Portugal in the 1950s. therefore, a reflection on the idea of the artist characters present in the work and the understanding of the art generated through them.

Bacteria associated with Paspalum plants can be employed as biofertilizers to increase the efficiency of pastures and reduce the use of agrochemicals by converting nutrients into an assimilable form for the host plant and defense against phytopathogens. In this context, silica nanoparticles (NPs) can be a tool to increase the effectiveness of biofertilizers in the field. This study aimed to isolate, identify and characterize the endophytic and rhizospheric microbiota of Paspalum spp. for plant growth promotion and to evaluate the effect of these bacterial isolates associated with silica NPs in Paspalum notatum seedlings. The bacteria were isolated from roots, leaves, and soils of P. rojasii, P. compressifolium, and P. lenticulare and tested in vitro for biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, indole-3-acidic acid (IAA) production, and antagonism against the phytopathogenic fungi Claviceps purpurea and Fusarium oxysporum. The bacteria with biotechnological potential were identified by the 16S rDNA sequencing, and isolates of the genera Alcaligenes, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Serratia were selected for the in vivo tests in P. notatum and Poa annua. The seeds were disinfected and inoculated with treatments composed of bacteria and bacteria + F. oxysporum and placed in magenta boxes containing substrate. The seedlings were evaluated for germination rate, root and shoot length, and root and shoot dry weight. Seeds submitted to the same treatments were plated in Petri dishes with 0.7% agarose, and the seedling roots were 3,3’-diaminobenzidine stained and visualized under an optical microscope. In another experiment, 85 nm silica NPs at concentrations of 0.05 mg/mL and 0.1 mg/mL were added to the culture media of Alcaligenes sp., Enterobacter sp., and Serratia sp. A total of 11 treatments were inoculated in disinfected seeds of P. notatum and subjected to the same conditions described previously. Out of 105 isolates, 26 solubilized phosphate, fixed nitrogen, and produced IAA. Serratia sp. and Enterobacter sp. inhibited the C. pupurea growth, but none of them was antagonistic to F. oxysporum. Serratia sp. promoted significant growth of P. notatum. F. oxysporum did not inhibit the development of the seedlings, and promoted the greatest plant growth when inoculated with Enterobacter sp. However, all the seedlings inoculated with F. oxysporum exhibited thin and fragile roots and shoots. The isolates belonging to the genus Pseudomonas promoted significant growth of Poa annua. Bacteria increased the number of root hairs, and it was possible to visualize intracellular bacterial colonization in the roots. In the second experiment, the three bacterial genera without the NPs promoted the growth of P. notatum. Total germination and the highest shoot dry weight were obtained in the treatments of 0.1 mg/mL silica NPs associated with Serratia sp. and Enterobacter sp. Silica NPs associated with the three bacteria increased root length and root dry weight. Bacterial isolates from Paspalum spp. with silica NPs showed potential to be applied as nano-biofertilizers and promote plant growth in P. notatum.

The present work consists in the development and construction of a prototype of an electric lock for homes, remotely controlled by cell phone using the ESP8266 NodeMcu module, a card with a Wi-Fi connection. One of the requirements is that the electric lock to be installed inside the main door of the residence, so that it is not possible to view it externally. The system contains a relay to activate the electric lock and an Android cell phone application with buttons for command to open/close the lock. The ESP8266 NodeMcu module connects via Wi-Fi to the cellphone and activates the relay through a port. Finally, sensors were installed to check whether the lock is open or closed to notify the user.

Postural control is important for independence in the daily activities of children and adolescents and is dependent on the interaction between the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems. In addition, the sensory system modifies the efferent motor command, regulating the musculoskeletal system, to promote voluntary and automatic actions, modulating postural control according to the demands of the environment. However, individuals with cerebral palsy (CP), as a result of lesions in the central nervous system, have motor deficits and sensory information processing deficits, which impair postural control. In many everyday situations, in which sensory inputs are reduced, such as in low light conditions and without support for the upper limbs, there may be an exacerbation of the difficulty in postural control, thus increasing the risk of falls. In view of this, the motivation to develop a systematic review arose, in order to verify sensory manipulation and synthesize its influence on postural control, updatinganexistingsystematic review. Thus, a study was carried out, entitled ''Sensory manipulation and postural control in individuals with cerebral palsy: A systematic review''. It was found that sensory manipulation can facilitate postural control when an additional visual stimulus is used, or it can cause harm when sensory information is restricted/reduced, however, the included studies did not investigate how muscle activation patterns occur, in association with the behavior of the center of pressure, during the manipulation of different sensory information. After the finalization and interpretation of the review, gaps were noticed regarding the topic and the population of interest. In this way, study II was prepared, entitled ''Postural Control in conditions of task manipulation in children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy'' emerged, in which typical and typical children and adolescents with CP were evaluated, in order to verify the effect of four conditions (open eye with support; open eye with out support; closed eye with support and closed eye without support) on postural sway, assessed by the displacement of the center of pressure, in orthostatism; and on muscle activation, assessed by RMS and co-contraction, of the lower limbs and trunk. The results showed that the group with CP presented greater postural sway than the typical group, in all conditions evaluated. Furthermore, in the evaluation of muscle activation, it is noted that the CP group uses different strategies than the typical group to maintain postural control. Thus, these studies contribute to rehabilitation professionals, leading to reflections on how to use the manipulation of task conditions both to facilitate and to challenge postural control, depending on the objective of the therapy.

Tri-reforming of methane (TRM) is a combination of steam and dry reforming and partial oxidation of methane reactions in the same reactor. Since it occurs at high temperatures and has water vapor in the reactor feed, TRM needs catalysts with thermal and hydrothermal stability, high oxygen storage capacity, resistance to carbon formation, and a high surface area. Aiming all these properties, Ni/SBA-15 catalysts promoted with CeO2, ZrO2, MgO, (CeZr)O2 were synthesized by two different synthesis methods: i) promoters impregnated on SBA-15 support which was already synthesized and calcined; ii) promoters incorporated into the SBA-15 structure during synthesis. The precursors were characterized with thermogravimetric and thermodifferential analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, temperature programmed reduction with hydrogen (TPR), temperature programmed desorption with carbon dioxide, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The formation of the SBA-15 structure in all materials was confirmed by XRD analysis. Nevertheless, the incorporated catalysts presented a higher degree of ordering in the pores construction than in the impregnated ones. Through TPR and XPS analyses, it was verified the existence of a strong interaction between nickel and support, which is increased with the presence of promoters. The TRM catalytic tests were carried out at 750 °C for five hours, with reagents being fed into the reaction stoichiometry (3CH4:1CO2:1H2O:0.5O2). In this reaction condition, catalysts promoted with (CeZr)O2 and MgO showed the highest methane and carbon dioxide conversions. All catalysts were also subjected to TRM in water scarcity at 750 °C for five hours (3CH4:1CO2:0.1H2O:0.5O2). In this reaction atmosphere, there was an increase in carbon dioxide conversion and inhibition of methane conversion for all samples. Through thermogravimetric analysis, it was observed that the incorporated catalysts presented greater amounts of carbon depositions on their surface than in the impregnated ones. However, even generating more carbon in the incorporated ones, exhibited better stability during the five reaction hours.

The objective of this work was to avaliate the viability of canola (Brassica napus L.) in different municipalities in the Alto Paranapanema Basin through crop modelling. We used daily meteorological data of maximum and minimum temperatures (ºC), rainfall (mm) and global radiation (MJ.m-2.D-1) of ten municipalities in the region between 2009 to 2019 and, later, introduced in the DSSAT plataform to the determination of attainable productivity. Ten dates of sowing were simulated, spaced fifteen days, from February 15 to June 30, with the objective to understand the right sowing window of the canola in the Alto Paranapanema Basin. Finally, data was spatialised with Quantum Gis software (QGis 3.18). Even though these simulations are far from productivity indices of traditional countries in canola production, as Canada, at the national level the region can be an exponent of production, with average attainable productivity on the best sowing dates, between April 15 to 15 June, of 1.492,85 Kg.ha¹ and average standard deviation of 139,60. This shows the potential of canola in the Alto Paranapanema Basin region, and should therefore have investments to quantify and, subsequently, increase agricultural productivity.

The water management in the settlements of the brazilian Agrarian Reform is a topic of great relevance and always current, due to its complexity and developments. Amidst the current environmental crisis, therefore, debates about the importance and process of water scarcity are even more present. Recognizing the importance of water for domestic and productive uses, this work sought to describe the characteristics related to water supply and management in the SDP Sepé Tiaraju, by the own settlers, through their speeches. The study area is located on the recharge area of the Guarani aquifer, in the cities of Serra Azul and Serrana. The settlement is an example of agroecological production amid the highest concentration of sugarcane in Brazil. Questions about the sources of supply, distribution and uses of water in everyday life were adressed. To understand the experiences of farmers related about the water, qualitative and quantitative approaches were chosen, through the application of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 10 farmers from all nucleus of the settlement. Data analysis was performed based on the interdisciplinarity that the central theme requires. The results indicate that problems related to water supply and its multiple uses have existed for years on SDP, pointing to a situation of human and productive vulnerability over all the life cycles of the settlement, which goes against the construction of the guiding principles of the SDP modality: the construction of a rural settlement model, in which Agroecology is the center of the technological matrix. It is considered urgent the strengthening of public policies aimed at water supply for family farming, as well as basic sanitation in general.

Inside the 5G Core (5GC) a myriad of (virtual) functions may be deployed so that different treatment can be given for traffic coming in and out to/from the Radio Access Network (RAN). One of these key functions is Service Function Chaining (SFC) supported by SRv6 state-of-the-art protocol. In this work, we present an SFC P4-based solution for traffic identification and chaining using SRv6. We call this function In-Network Classification and chAining (INCA), which is deployed entirely in the data plane using a Netronome Agilo SmartNIC. The INCA is deployed just before the User Plane Function (UPF) inside the 5GC and is capable of observing the traffic coming from and going to the RAN so that it classifies and creates the proper sequence of services to be followed by every specific flow. Our results show that INCA performs the task of packet classification and chaining perfectly with a minimal Flow Completion Time (FCT) impact when compared to the same environment without it.

Leisure, as one of the social functions of the city, plays an important role in the health of the population, but has suffered interference along the modifications of the postmodern urban layout. Urban fragmentation and monofunctional zoning tend to reduce public spaces as commuting circuits, wich directly affect the quality of spare time, especially for low-income citizens. As a result, the emptying of the center of the city at times that exceed comercial hours, keeps the population away from staying in places intended for leisure. In this sense, the pesent study, based on the combination of bibliographical research,case study and quali- quantitative analysis model, we sought to assessthe appropriation of te squares in the Historical Polygonal of São Carlos, bringing to light the importance of leisure as a social function of the city and as a fundamental right to the citizens. An on-line interview was requested, via google forms, and the responses were combined with what the literature offers. Through the results obtained, it was possible to observe that little has been done so that the spaces aren’t updated to human needs. It was seen that the available equipment does not correspond to the expectations of the population in order to garantee the social right to leisure in the region. There is a large number of banks, disproportionate to the number of dumps, large ways to walk, but few opportunities for stationary activities. It is expected that the approached methodology will erve as a motto for future studies, both in diferente regions of the municipality, as in other médium cities, with a view to reduce socio-envvironmental diferences and ensure orderly and sustainable development.

Agricultural sustainable production is indispensable to meet the growing demand for food and nutritional control. The risk assessment associated with contamination by toxic elements in agricultural and aquaculture matrices are essential. In this context, the present thesis evaluated new methodologies for pre-concentration and chemical speciation methods using different determination techniques, such as microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (MIP OES), liquid chromatography associated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS), flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and spectrophotometry (UV-VIS) for analysis of fish and organic fertilizer samples. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn determination in meat and fish, and co-precipitation for As and Cd determination in fish were the pre-concentration procedures used to increase the sensitivity of the MIP OES. Experimental planning was applied to optimize the methods, being the trueness evaluated with analysis of certified reference materials (CRMs) and comparison with another instrumental technique, ICP-MS. The values found agreed with reference values, demonstrating the feasibility of the methods. The chemical speciation of As and Cr in fish was performed by LC-ICP-MS, and the extraction of the species was defined using experimental designs. The trueness of the procedures was verified by the analysis of four CRMs and with addition and recovery experiment. Finally, a method for speciation of Cr(VI) in organic fertilizer was developed. The method proved to be adequate for determination by FAAS and UV-VIS. It provided limits of detection of 1.4 and 1.8 mg/kg, respectively, lower than 2.0 mg/kg, the maximum value allowed by the Brazilian regulation. The trueness of the method was evaluated using two CRMs and the addition and recovery technique.

The implementation of the practice of raking straw in sugarcane fields resulted in heterogeneous distribution or total removal of straw in the areas. And these different amounts of straw can influence the floristic composition of weeds, resulting in a mixed flora, and the dynamics of herbicides applied under pre-emergence conditions. Then, the objective of this research was to test the hypothesis that pre-emergence herbicides applied in different amounts of sugarcane straw result in eficiente control and mass reduction of Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R.D.Webster, Digitaria horizontalis Willd., Cenchrus echinatus L., Ipomoea triloba L. and Merremia aegyptia (L.) Urb and also to evaluate the sensitivity of sugarcane pre-sprouted seedlings (PSS) to herbicides applied in pre-planting. Weed control experiments were conducted in greenhouse, in a completely randomized design (CRD) in a 11+1 x 5 factorial scheme with four replications for each of the five weed species (Cenchrus echinatus, Urochloa decumbens, Digitaria horizontalis, Ipomea triloba e Merreia aegyptia) interacting with the herbicides isoxaflutole, clomazone, sulfentrazone, indaziflam, amicarbazone, tebuthiuron, s-metolachlor + [diuron + hexazinone], imazapic, amicarbazone + tebuthiuron, indaziflam + metribuzin e [indaziflam + isoxaflutole] and a control treatment and five different amounts of sugarcane straw (0, 2, 6, 8 e 10 t ha-1) with four replicates for each treatment. The experimental units were evaluated for the efficacy of control at 35 days after emergence (DAE) of the controls, when the plants were cut to obtain the dry mass of the aerial part (DMAP). The sensitivity experiment of sugarcane pre-sprouted seedlings was conducted in a greenhouse, in a completely randomized design (CRD) with the variety RB966928 receiving the application of the same herbicides used in the control experiment and four replicates for each treatment. The experimental units were evaluated for phytotoxicity weekly, number of leaves and height at the time of application and 63 days after application (DAA), when the seedlings were cut to obtain dry mass of the aerial part (DMAP). As for weed control experiments, it was observed that s-metolachlor + [diuron + hexazinone] and indaziflam + metribuzin satisfactorily control C. echinatus, U. decumbens and D. horizontalis, as well as sulfentrazone, tebuthiuron and amicarbazone + tebuthiuron satisfactorily control I. triloba and M. aegyptia, when applied in pre-emergence directly to the soil or sugarcane straw, reducing plant DMAP, on average, 95 and 98%, respectively. For the sensitivity experiment of pre-sprouted seedlings, different levels of tolerance of RB966928 to the herbicides used were observed, however, the use of clomazone, indaziflam, sulfentrazone and tebuthiuron, at 63 DAA, resulted in recovered plants and no changes in biometric parameters evaluated. The application of sulfentrazone in pre-planting of PSS, variety RB966928, is safe and efficient in the control of C. echinatus, U. decumbens, I. triloba and M. aegyptia.

In the last years, the development of new light and efficient systems in electric vehicles (EV) opens up new research opportunities. Besides that, the need for internal combustion engine components with optimized properties is also attracting interest. One of these challenges involves the development of alternative Al-Si based alloys. Under such context, the microstructure of Al-Si alloys can be modified with addition of alloying elements in order to improve properties such as tensile strength, corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. This PhD research focuses on better understanding of the effects of Ag additions: 0.1 and 2.0wt.% and cooling rate variations on dendritic growth and eutectic formation constituting Al-5wt.%Si and Al-10wt.%Si alloys. Thermodynamic simulations (ThermoCalc) were performed to support the extensive microstructural evaluation. A complete set of characterization including monitored solidification experiments, tensile tests, electrical conductivity, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), immersion tests, optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was developed. The Al-5wt.%Si-0.1wt.%Ag and Al-10wt.%Si-0.1wt.%Ag alloys showed the best combined results for tensile properties / electrical conductivity, resulting in 142 MPa / 22% / 29.4 %IACS and 160 MPa / 12 % / 29.6 %IACS, respectively. Ag-containing having 2.0wt.% alloys resulted in slightly higher mechanical properties and lower electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the Al-5%Si-0.1%Ag and Al-10%Si-0.1%Ag alloys showed the best corrosion performance compared to the ternary compositions with equivalent Si and higher Ag content, resulting in lower corrosion rate, higher passive range, and greater polarization resistance. In the matter of the Al-10wt.% Si-Ag alloys, the microstructure refinement tends to increase the corrosion rate and to enhance the sample’s nobility.

It is well known that if $\phi:G \times M^m \rightarrow M^m$ is a smooth action of a compact Lie group on a closed smooth manifold, then its fixed point set $F_{\phi} = \bigcup\limits_{i=0}^{n}F^{i}$ is a disjoint union of closed submanifolds of $M^m$, where $F^i$ denotes the union of $i$-dimensional components of $F_{\phi}$. In this way, given a compact Lie group $G$ and a union of closed smooth manifolds $F = \bigcup\limits_{i=0}^{n}F^{i}$, we can ask ourselves if exists such a $G$-action defined on a closed smooth manifold $M^m$ whose fixed point set is $F$. In this work, we discuss this problem for the cases where $G=\mathbb{Z}_2$ with $F=P(m,n) \cup \{point\}$, here $P(m,n)$ denoting a Dold manifold (see \ref{ExemploDold}) and $\{point\}$ is a unique point; and $G=\mathbb{Z}_2^k$ with $F=F^n$ or $F=F^n \cup F^{n-1}$ with $F^n$ and $F^{n-1}$ being connected. Here, $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$ is considered as the group generated by $k$ commuting involutions $T_1, \ldots, T_k$. Another question is concerning the CP property: more specifically, we say that a closed smooth manifold $F^n$ satisfies the CP property (compatible with the point) if there exists an involution $T:M^m \rightarrow M^m$ whose fixed point set is $F^n \cup \{point\}$. In chapter 3 we prove that the Dold manifolds $P(2^t-2,1)$ and $P(2,2^s-1)$ satisfy the CP property for all $t,s>1$. On the other hand, we will see that $P(m,n)$ do not satisfies CP for certain values of $m$ and $n$ (see the Introduction for details). This property was introduced in \cite{TeseJessica}, where several correlated results were obtained. In \cite{StongKos} Stong and Kosniowisky showed that if the fixed point set of an involution $(M^m,T)$ has only $n$-dimensional components and $m>2n$, then $(M^m,T)$ bounds equivariantly. In the same work, they proved that, if $m=2n$, then $(M^m,T)$ is equivariantly cobordant to the twist involution $(F^n \times F^n, \tau)$ where $\tau(x,y) = (y,x)$. In \cite{Onzedoiska} Pergher extended this result for $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-actions $(M^m,\phi)$ whose fixed point set $F^n$ is connected. More specifically, he showed that, under these fixed point set conditions, if $m > 2^k n$, then $(M^m,\phi)$ bounds equivariantly, and if $m=2^k n$, then $(M^m,\phi)$ is equivariantly cobordant to the $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-twist (see definition \ref{Z2ktwist}). In \cite{stongclass} Stong realized the classification of all cobordism classes of involutions $(M^m,T)$ whose fixed point set has only n-dimensional components and $m=2n-1$. In \cite{zedoisdois} Pergher extended this result for $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-actions $(M^m,\phi)$ whose fixed point set $F^n$ is connected, with $m=4n-1$ and $m=4n-2$. In chapter 4 we extend this work of Pergher for $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-actions by determining all possible cobordism class of $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-actions whose fixed point set $F^n$ is connected and $2^k n-2^{k-1} \leq m < 2^k n$. The fixed-data of a $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-action $(M^m,\phi)$ fixing $F$, denoted by $(F,\{\xi_{\rho}\})$, is $F$ with a list of $2^k-1$ vector bundles over $F$, where the vector bundles $\xi_{\rho}$ are obtained by a decomposition of the normal bundle of $F$ in $M^m$. In \cite{zedoisdois2}, P. Pergher and F. Figueira showed the following result: let $(M^m,\phi)$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-action with fixed-data $(F^n;\xi_{\rho_1},\xi_{\rho_2},\xi_{\rho_3}) \cup (F^{n-1};\mu_{\rho_1},\mu_{\rho_2},\mu_{\rho_3})$, and suppose that there are at least two vector bundles in $\{\xi_{\rho_1},\xi_{\rho_2},\xi_{\rho_3}\}$ that have dimension greater than $n$, and at least one $\mu_{\rho}$ has dimension greater than $n-1$. Then $(M^m,\phi)$ bounds equivariantly. In that paper, the authors proposed the following generalization for $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-actions: \textbf{Conjecture:} Let $(M,\psi)$ be a smooth $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-action with fixed-data $(F^n, \{ \xi_{\rho} \}_{\rho}) \cup (F^{n-1}, \{ \mu_{\rho} \}_{\rho})$. Suppose that at least $2^{k-1}$ $\xi_{\rho's}$ over $F^n$ have dimension greater than $n$ and at least one $\mu_{\rho}$ has dimension greater than $n-1$. Then $(M,\psi)$ bounds equivariantly. This is the main result of chapter 5 of this thesis. But we achieved the following improvement of the above conjecture: the condition that at least one $\mu_{\rho}$ has dimension greater than $n-1$ can be removed.
