The hippocampus (HPC) is a brain area well known to regulate memory and spatial navigation but also known to be a very plastic brain structure that is influenced by other areas like the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) as well as by stress-related stimuli. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the exposition of chronic social defeat stress (SDS) in male mice on (i) the avoidance behavior assessed in the social interaction test (SIT); (ii) the anxiety-like behavior in the elevated plus-maze (EPM); (iii) the working memory in the object recognition test (ORT); (iv) The presence of projections from the left mPFC to the dorsal HPC and ventral HPC (dHPC and vHPC) was also investigated (v) ΔFosB, CaMKII as well as ΔFosB+CaMKII labeling in neurons located in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus (d & vHPC). Results showed that chronic SDS induced defensive- and anxiety-like behaviors and memory impairment, followed by decrease and increase in ΔFosB labeling in the dHPC and vHPC, respectively. In the vHPC, an increase in the CaMKII labeling was also shown. There was a presence of projections from the left mPFC to both dHPC and vHPC. Together, these findings suggest that chronic exposure of mice to SDS may have (a) overactivated glutamatergic neurons in the vHPC, leading to an increase in defensive- and anxiogenic-like responses, and (b) inhibited the dHPC, causing memory impairment. Given that chronic SDS also impairs the left mPFC functioning, these SDS-induced effects on behavior and vHPC & dHPC may be related to a failure of the left mPFC control on the neuronal activity of the hippocampus.

Annotated translation is a speech genre that allows translators to describe as well as think about their work process, by the use of a translation diary, where one notes down comments and questions. Here we present the annotated translation to Brazilian sign language (Libras) of the public-interest informative article titled “Visitas cuidadosas a pessoas idosas: recomendações para quando ficar distante não é mais possível” (“Careful visits to elderly people: recommendations for when keeping distance is no longer possible”), published in UFSCar’s InformaSUS website. The translation was done remotely, due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, and benefited from the help of a professional translator and an audiovisual technician. Our work is guided by the thoughts of Bakhtin (2003) and Volochinov (2017), as well as the concept of verb-visuality in Brait (2013). In the end, we notice the pedagogical interest of annotated translation works in the training of professionals, since they encourage detailed thinking about translation choices and strategies.

This paper conduct to discuss the academic education of deaf people who studies Libras translation and interpreting courses in university education. It was carried out a bibliographic survey of the Pedagogical Political Projects (PPCs) of the bachelor's degree in Letras Libras courses and in Translation and Interpretating in Brazilian Sign Language - Libras and Portuguese Language offered by nine public universities and subsequently, a curriculum analysis of the courses was accomplished. The research aimed to know if these courses are prepared, in a curricular point of view, to receive a deaf student who has different specificities from hearing students and also wants to become a translator and interpreter. Through analyzes realized in the curricular projects, we found challenges that permeate the possibility of the deaf interpreters’ qualification, the difficulties founded in lessons that are sometimes taught in Portuguese. The curricular reality evidenced during this research demonstrate that, the connexion between theory and practice regarding the education of deaf translators and interpreters, is very distant, once bachelor's degrees in Libras translation and interpretation offered by the analyzed institutions were not designed to contemplating the education of deaf professionals. The research reveals gaps and the need to think about deaf person as a possible student of the courses, since the specific education as a translator and interpreter for this group is still very recent.

Moral development can be defined as a set of changes that occur througout time in the way children think and make decisions about what is right or wrong. Lying behavior, in turn, has been used in different studies on moral development in order to assess how children think about moral violations and/or dilemmas. The present systematic review aimed to provide a synthesis of findings from empirical studies investigating moral development and a possible correlation with lying behavior (i.e., engagement and moral judgment). The search was conducted in the PsycINCO, Scielo e LILACS databases, using the keywords moral development, lying, lies e moral reasoning as well as their correspondents in Portuguese. From a total of 24 papers found, 12 empirical articles, which were published between 2011 and 2020, were analyzed according to the PRISMA protocol. The findings from the selected studies point to a correlation between children’s moral development and the way in which they understand, interpret and judge lies. More specifically, their judgments on lying behavior gradually include more attributions of intentionality and reveal a less egocentric bias. Some studies also point to the role of cultural practices in this developmental process. For example, more collectivistic cultures tend to present higher levels of sensibility to the intention/ motivation for lying. A promissing future direction is to better explore how children’s initial experiences, specific to each culture, influence moral development.

This work aims to understand the challenges of intermodal interpretation from Portuguese into Libras in Protestant Christian services. The religious sphere, especially the historical Protestant Christian religions, were for a long time, due to missionary work with the deaf started in the 1980s, training environments for most sign language interpreters in Brazil since, before the mid-2000s, there were no higher education courses to train these professionals. They Therefore, there is little research that maps or describes the work of these professionals in religious contexts. The approach used for this research was qualitative, articulating theoretical references derived from Bakhtinian contributions and from the studies of translation and interpretation of sign language. As a methodological device, we used the semi-open interview, which allows the participants to be questioned based on a previous script, enabling interaction with the interviewer. We interviewed two Libras interpreters from two Protestant Christian institutions: one from a historical church and the other from a Pentecostal church. The analysis was based on Campos' proposal (2018; 2021), which proposes a crossing of verticality, in which the themes are given by the interviewees in their singularities, with horizontality, in which the researcher seeks to find generalities through the collective subject analyzed from its exotopic perspective. As a result of the horizontal analysis, one can notice the similarities and differences between the answers of the candidates, highlighting the challenges around the terminological interpretation and the specific signs present in the religious context, the position of the interpreter during the meetings and the relationships established between interpreters>deaf and interpreters>adors during the interpretation from Portuguese into Libras in Christian worship. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the training of future interpreters in the religious context of Protestant Christianity.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by obsessions and/or compulsions that cause great suffering to patients. The neural bases underlying OCD need to be better investigated, considering, for example, the existing differences in terms of prevalence, severity, and symptomatology between men and women. In addition, animal models for the study of OCD are not yet well established, with the serotonergic agonist meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) being used as a tool in an attempt to explore the relationship between serotonergic transmission and OCD. The present study aimed to compare the basal expression of self-grooming and spontaneous alternation in male and female rats (proestrus/estrus and metestrus/diestrus) and to evaluate the effects of acute or repeated administration of mCPP on these behaviors. For this, male and female Wistar rats (females in proestrus/estrus and metestrus/diestrus) had basal self-grooming and spontaneous alternation compared (exp.1); or received intraperitoneal injection of saline or mCPP (0.1, 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg) acutely (exp.2) or repeated (exp.3) to assess the effects on these behaviors. No baseline differences were found for self-grooming or spontaneous alternation between males and females or between females at different stages of the estrous cycle. Acute or repeated administration of mCPP did not significantly alter self-grooming behaviors or spontaneous alternation in males or females. In fact, there was only a decrease in self-grooming for females in metestrus/diestrus treated acutely with 1.0 mg/kg mCPP and a significant increase in latency for entries in the alternation test caused by the higher doses of mCPP administered acutely on females in proestrus/estrus and repeatedly on females in metestrus/diestrus. Thus, overall, our results indicate that the natural behaviors of self-grooming and spontaneous alternation in Wistar rats do not appear to differ between males and females or be associated with hormonal changes presented along the estrous cycle. Furthermore, contrary to expectations, mCPP did not exacerbate the self-grooming behavior or impair spontaneous alternation in our study for males or females. On the other hand, the observed effects of mCPP seem to indicate a potential drug-induced motor impairment occurring only on females.

The characterization of physical and climatic aspects and the diagnosis of land use and land cover of hydrographic basins using geoprocessing tools is extremely important to assist in agro-environmental planning and zoning. Sugarcane, one of the main crops in Brazilian agribusiness, has an expressive distribution in the state of São Paulo, historically concentrating in the north, west and center of the state, but with a tendency to expand to other regions, such as the region south region of São Paulo, in the Alto Paranapanema hydrographic basin (BH-ALPA). This work aimed to characterize climatic (precipitation and temperature), physical and environmental aspects of the Alto Paranapanema hydrographic basin and identify potentially favorable areas for sugarcane production, by using geotechnologies. From SRTM images, we reclassified the slope into 2 classes (from 0 to 15% and above 15%). Furthermore, using images from the MapBiomas 5.0 collection, we mapped the areas with sugarcane for the Years of 1989, 1999, 2009 and 2019 for the whole study area. Regarding the environmental variables, we carried out a diagnosis of the permanent preservation areas (APP) of the main watercourses. With CBERS 4A images, it was possible to reclassify the land use and land cover into suitable and unsuitable areas for sugarcane production. For the climatic suitability of the basin, we used the data from the agro-environmental zoning of the São Paulo State Environment’s Office. We further used daily data of temperature and precipitation of 11 meteorological stations of INMET, to create climatic charts showing its spatial distribution by using the interpolation method, covering a time span of 10 years. The highest temperature values occur in the northwestern region of the basin, while the lowest occur in the southern and southeastern regions. Precipitation was higher values in the north/northwest region during summer, whereas in the winter, precipitation was overall higher in the south/southeast. According to other works, we observed that about 72% of the APPs are irregular and need to be recovered. That said, the basin still has about 33% of its area classified as suitable áreas for sugarcane production, while 67% correspond to non-suitable areas.

The meat production system used today by capitalist societies is in a position of unsustainability - for environmental, ethical and social reasons. Cultivated meat appears as a food alternative that aims to combat the impacts present in traditional meat production. It is done through the cultivation, proliferation and differentiation of animal muscle tissue in the laboratory. Its development and application involve technical and social aspects that often become controversial. Socio-scientific issues show themselves in this frontier of knowledge, provoking considerations about sustainability and decisions making at the collective and individual level. Thus, there is an interest in analyzing the perspectives of biology students on a topic that converges scientific and technological production as well as social-level solutions, such as cultivated meat. A questionnaire was carried out among undergraduate students of Biological Sciences at the Federal University of São Carlos, São Carlos Campus, and based on it, personal aspects related to their diet and perceptions about cultivated meat and its controversies were observed and discussed. Of 27 participants, 81.5% consume meat at some level, and 18.5% consider themselves ovo-lactovegetarians, with family culture and concerns about the environment and health being the main motivations for this choice. Most undergraduates demonstrated to have knowledge about cultivated meat, including its form of production and ethical motivations. The study showed that students present a speech aligned with the approach of Science, Technology, Society and Environment (STSE) when faced with the controversies present in the topic of cultivated meat, which could be reaffirmed as a socio-scientific issue. This work can contribute to future research as new technologies emerge daily and socio-scientific aspects are important in the formation of biologists and teachers.

Office workers are characterized by a predominance of sedentary behavior (SB), and a low level of physical activity at work. Sedentary behavior can be related to several non-communicable diseases and can be considered a risk factor for overweight and obesity. In this theme, recent studies have proposed an analysis of physical behavior within 24 hours. Furthermore, it is suggested that the behavior analysis be detailed for weekdays (work and non-work) and weekends. However, few studies have analyzed whether behaviors can differ in terms of people's weight. In Brazil, there are no studies on the characterization of the main behaviors of office workers according to the body mass index (BMI). Thus, the present study aimed to characterize and compare the physical behaviors of office workers with normal weight and overweight/obesity through wearable devices (accelerometer). Secondarily, the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and upper limb and spine functionality level was identified. Therefore, a sample of office workers was divided according to BMI into a normal weight group (GPN; n=17) and another overweight/obese group (GSO; n=26). The assessment was performed using wearable devices for 5 consecutive days, including weekdays and weekends. Four behaviors were determined through the analysis, being sedentary behavior (SB), standing time, physical activity (PA), and time-in-bed. Musculoskeletal symptoms and upper limb and spine functionality were assessed using questionnaires. Physical behavior data and questionnaires were processed and analyzed according to the appropriate statistical analysis. The findings show similarly for both groups that workers spent most of their time in SB, performed little physical activity, and had adequate rest time on weekdays and on weekends. The only difference observed was for SB during the non-working hours on weekdays, where the GSO spent more time on this behavior than the GPN (42 minutes). Both groups presented musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and spine regions, which agrees with the current literature. In conclusion, physical behaviors do not seem to differ substantially among people with different BMI classification, but more studies are needed.

Many researchs bring reports of difficulties that beginning teachers faces in the classroom with face-to-face teaching, such as lonelyness, lack of preparation to deal with students, with educational management, among others. However, we have a new teaching that is plaguing teachers even more, since they have no major studies that they can consult to feel a little less unprepared, which is remote teaching, started in 2020 by the unfornate Covid-19 world pandemic. Therefore, this work initially aimed to raise the main difficulties that beginning mathematics teachers are facing with this remote teaching, through a qualitative/quantitative methodology, with the proposal of analyzing a questionnaire for elementary 2 and high school mathematic teachers, with no distinction of brazilian location. As this goal was not achieved by the lack of approval from the Ethics Committee in time, the main objective of this work was to survey the research already done, the main difficulties of beginning teachers in general and also the most challenging contents for math teachers and students, through a qualitative methodology, leading to the production of activity sheets that can be proposed for high school math teachers.

This study aims to analyze how the Institution located in the interior of the State of São Paulo promotes the social inclusion of deaf subjects through the teaching of Libras and the Portuguese Language, investigating their teaching-learning strategies and the interaction of the subjects in this process, from the perspective of the study of language, from the theories of Vygotsky and Bakhtin.Vygotsky's main theoretical contributions that can be correlated with the teaching of deaf people emphasize the understanding that happens in the proximal development, which demands the interaction between a more experienced and skilled person in the subject and someone who will learn. Being very important this interaction with teachers, interpreters and family members, in addition to socializing with deaf people that are fluent in Libras. In this context, Bakhtin reinforces that language development is based on a dialogic structure, and that it requires constant social interaction. For the methodological procedure of this study, interviews were conducted with two Institution professionals: a teacher and Libras instructor and a social worker in a semi-structured way through the Google Meet application, both lasting around forty minutes. In this sense, Institution presents its pedagogical and care proposal aligned with the development of language, so that the deaf not only acquire learning, but also expands their socialization, both within the family, by emphasizing the necessary literacy of parents, as well as in social interaction. with their peers, in encounters between deaf people with different levels of learning and expression. There is a need to diversify educational approaches, since deaf people have different levels of literacy, socialization, and also tend to acquire homemade signs, which makes the work of a personalized nature, according to the context of each student. Institution has a multi-professional team, which, even in the face of various challenges, such as the pandemic, seeks to maintain active work, remotely, so as not to harm the performance and social development of students.

In air passenger transport, events often occur that make it impossible to comply with the flight schedule planned for a certain period. In these situations, the Aircraft Recovery Problem (ARP) emerges, which involves rescheduling flights and reallocating aircraft to those flights. In this work, we treated an ARP in an oil and gas production company with an offshore operation that carries out, daily, via helicopters, the transportation of its employees and airport employees to maritime units, and vice versa . Therefore, we sought to: (i) develop Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) models to represent the problem, considering both the different optimization objectives pursued by the company (that is, minimizing flight delays in one day, the need for flight transfers to the next day due to unexpected events and the designation of helicopters for flights other than those already allocated in the schedule) and various practical restrictions of the company; (ii) develop MIP heuristics of the type Relax-and-fix and Fix-and-optimize that, when combined with a model formulated in (i), provide good quality results using little computational time. As for the models, five formulations were elaborated, and their validations and performance comparisons were performed using real and simulated instances provided by the company, selecting the formulation that provided the best solution within the time limit of one hour. In relation to MIP heuristics, different configurations were tested, using the same instances, to identify which would make it possible to provide better quality solutions. To solve the models and heuristics, a commercial optimization solver was used for the rescheduling of helicopter flights. Optimum solutions were obtained for part of the tested instances of the problem and, for those that could not be solved optimally, the settings for the heuristics were identified, which, among the tested ones, provided the best solutions comparatively. Thus, the results obtained demonstrate the notorious potential of the approaches proposed in this work to solve the evaluated ARP.

This thesis aimed to study the effect of the initial particle size and its distribution of hematite on microwave-assisted sintering kinetics. Two synthesis methods were used: sol-gel and seeded-mediated growth. By sol-gel the average particle size ranged from 30 to 1500 nm, and possessed large distribution, and, by seeded growth, from 70 to 200 nm and had a narrower distribution of particles. Thus, the shrinkage of the samples was analyzed using conventional, hybrid microwave at 2.45 GHz (to 30 nm nanopowders) and microwave assisted at 30 GHz dilatometry trials with heating rates of 5 to 20 oC/min. For the samples at 30 GHz, the in situ electrical resistance was measured using the four-wire method. For kinetics study, the non-isothermal methods were adopted, from Woolfrey- Bannister and from Dorn to the initial stage and from Wang-Raj to the intermediate stage of sintering. The effect of the initial particle size was observed, as well its distribution, showing striking differences in the microwave at 30 GHz sintering kinetics, compared with the conventional sintering. The smaller the average particle size, the higher the densification rate, accelerating the sintering of hematite. Lower activation energy values are needed for both stages, besides the temperatures of onset of shrinkage, ranges of initial and intermediate stages and activation energies were lower, when compared to conventional heating as well as with the 30 nm nanopowders, sintered at 2.45 GHz. A narrower distribution promoted a lower densification rate. As the heating rate increased, smaller grain size and relative density values were obtained using microwave energy at 30 GHz. The sintered samples exhibited weak ferromagnetic behavior.

Trees play an important role in the hydrological cycle and nutrient cycling, playing an important ecosystem function. Even though it represents a small proportion of total precipitation, the stemflow has a significant ecohydrological contribution to the environment, providing the soil with additional amounts of water and nutrients. This study aims to present the ecohydrological roles of the stemflow of trees belonging to urban areas, in order to verify its chemical, hydrological and microbiotic contribution to the soil. As a method, a systematic review of the literature was initially carried out based on the selection of the most relevant articles on stemflow and nutrient fluxes. Then, the experiment was carried out at the Federal University of São Carlos, campus Sorocaba, São Paulo. During the period from October 2019 to September 2020, rainfall and stemflow were monitored in eight (8) forest species present in an urban environment, together with the study of factors influencing stemflow, such as dendrometric characteristics and morphological species; the abundance and transport of metazoans; the nutrient fluxes; and the change in chemical properties of soils at the base of trees. The results of this study show that research on the effect of stemflow on biogeochemical cycling and soil dynamics remains scarce and full understanding still requires many additional studies. In general, it was proven that the stemflow is an important means for the nutritional maintenance of the tree itself and its vegetal surroundings, being an important process for urban afforestation. It was observed that the yield of stemflow of the analyzed species had different influences from dendrometric and morphological characteristics, in addition to being able to transport metazoa to the soil and not necessarily high volumes of stemflow the trunk correspond to its greater abundance and transport. The same was observed for the nutrient fluxes, in which the enrichment in the stemflow water of the species showed its function as a nutrient source for the soils close to the base of the trees for most of the analyzed ions. In this way, the existence of the ecohydrological functions of the stemflow , adding water, nutrients and microorganisms in the soils in urban environments.

This undergraduate thesis aims to foster dialogue between the fields of Musical Education and Social Skills; and as specific objectives: 1) Elaborate musical activities with the potential for the development of some specific social skills; 2) Verify the feasibility and suitability of musical activities to promote Social Skills. The research is based on the commitment of Musical Education with aspects beyond the strictly technical and theoretical aspects of music, considering the knowledge of psychology in musical teaching processes, at the interface between the social scope of collective musical practices and the theoretical-practical field of Social Skills defined by Del Prette and Del Prette (2017). The study of an exploratory nature had a bibliographical review and included the proposition of musical activities relating referencial from musical education and psychology. The answers of participants indicated that the material contributed to a better understanding of music teachers about how the musical activities can recruit social skills, while they also seem promising for use in social skills training contexts by psychologists. Furthermore, we got good feedback on the adequacy of objectives and relevance of the material. Contributions were made by the participants in order to improve the proposal regarding objectives and procedures. The results proved to be satisfactory in relation to the stated objectives. It is believed that a new set of knowledge can be boosted by enabling the meeting of these fields based on the needs and demands of the professionals representing them.

This study presents a review of the existing literature on the use of bivalves and freshwater gastropods as bioindicator animals in ecotoxicology studies. From this review, the objective was to identify the most used genera of freshwater molluscs in studies, as well as the locations and columns that appear in the largest number of publications, and the most studied classes of xenobiotics. To obtain the articles, the Web of Science (WOS) database was used, covering publications from 1945 to 2021. The biological markers used in the studies were organized into ecological, reproductive, behavioral biochemical, physiological, histological, genotoxic, exposure and morphological. A total of 553 articles were retrieved from the WOS database, and from this total, 382 works were collected. The most frequent genera of Bivalvia in the studies were identified as Corbicula, Dreissena and Anodonta, while for Gastropoda the most recurrent genera were Lymnaea, Physa and Biomphalaria. Europe is the continent with the largest number of publications on ecotoxicological tests with bivalves and freshwater gastropods; North America is the second continent on that list. For both groups, Africa is the continent with the lowest number of publications of articles on ecotoxicology. The decade with the highest number of publications worldwide was 2010, when 124 publications were recorded with bivalves, and 77 with gastropods as bioindicators. There was a tendency to collect animals in the field rather than collect them in the laboratory for use in these studies. The most used biological markers were exposure markers (57.85%), followed by biochemical markers (40.58%). The most used xenobiotics were agrochemicals, present in 71 studies.
