The quality and safety of nursing care in a pediatric hospital unit involves the dimensioning of nursing staff and the incorporation of the philosophy “care centered on the person of the child and the family”. The objective of this study was to know the perceptions of managers of pediatric hospital units, about the dimensioning of nursing staff and its implications for family-centered care. This is a qualitative study, developed with nine nurses with experience in managing pediatric hospitals, located using the snow ball technique. A single semi-structured interview, conducted remotely, using the Google Meet platform, the strategy adopted for data collection. Their average duration was 20 minutes and all interviews were developed by the researcher who authored this study. The thematic analysis in Braun & Clarke's proposal was conducted, supported by the theoretical framework of Symbolic Interactionism. Data collection took place from January to September 2021. The results are presented from two thematic units: “Weaknesses of patient classification systems and creation of adjustments” and “Thinking about Family-Centered Care and its incorporation” in the dimensioning of nursing staff”. The first unit reveals the perception that the national instrument for classifying pediatric patients is fragile, lacking in the consideration of specific characteristics and particularities of nursing work, when there is an emphasis on family demands and care for the child's family member/companion. Given this understanding, the manager does not faithfully adopt the instrument, but adjusts its result based on elements related to these weaknesses and the context of care. Although the family member is recognized, his/her insertion in the care setting was described in the direction of health education and with little intention of building collaborative relationships that make him/her at the center of care. The manager's actions were not evidenced to correlate the reception of the family member and the dimensioning of the nursing staff. The workload placed on the nursing professional, in the daily practice of health care, in pediatric units is related to the quality and safety of care. The study developed contributed to the discussion on the sizing of nursing staff in pediatric units, which has revealed timid advances since the proposal of the Brazilian pediatric patient classification instrument, in 2014. It also brings elements for the articulation between staff sizing of nursing with family-centered care, a pressing aspect, otherwise families will continue to be denied or reduced to people who provide child care and need to be trained for it.

The present work aimed to analyze the processes of identity construction and ethnicracial belonging of brown students, coming from interracial families and students of higher education at the Federal University of São Carlos. Mostly, studies on affirmative action policies and processes of democratization of access to higher education in Brazil have prioritized the analysis of the profile of students in the economic, gender, ethnic-racial and area of entry dimensions, in addition to studies on performance, trajectory and insertion in the labor market. In this sense, this research is configured as a case study that was developed through bibliographic analysis, through interviews with self-declared brown students from interracial families, from different areas of knowledge, whether or not they opted for admission through the affirmative. The interviews made it possible to listen to self-declared brown students who experience the dilemma of belonging or not belonging due to their skin pigmentation and phenotypic traits. The speeches demonstrate that the university impacts on the construction of identity and ethnic-racial belonging, in the same way it has an impact on families when dealing with issues related to race and gender and by encouraging other family members to enter a public university.

This research aims to analyze and investigate the individuation process in the fictional universe composed by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Our objects of study are the novel The Lord of The Rings (1954-1955) and some narratives present in The Silmarillion (1977). The individuation process, a concept developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, is characterized as the psyche's tendency to find balance and completeness. This tendency manifests itself in the journey of the characters Beren, Lúthien, Eärendil, Elwing, Galadriel, Aragorn, and Frodo, to point out a few examples. Tolkien's narratives also suggest that the individuation takes place not only in characters or through characters but constitutes an element that shapes the universe created by the author. To enrich the analysis, literary theorists such as Northrop Frye and Gaston Bachelard, who were influenced by Carl Jung's archetypal psychology, will be presented. If necessary, we will also examine Freudian psychoanalysis to understand the rich and complex narrative of the author. This research also intends to illustrate the importance of Jung's ideas and concepts for literature studies and criticism itself.

Defined by G. Gross (1989) as a formal operation that establishes a relation of paraphrastic equivalence between two elementary constructions, Conversion has been gaining prominence in works in the area of linguistic description, specifically, for two reasons: it is one of the most productive transformational properties, in relation to the number of occurrences, that constructions with support verb and predicate noun can present and, until then, there were few studies that took it as the main object of analysis in Brazilian Portuguese, being the description prepared for the most complete French language. Currently, Conversion has descriptions for Romanian, European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. In this relation, the predicate noun is maintained and the position of the arguments is changed, without causing a semantic change, that is, the semantic roles of these arguments remain the same, despite the change in syntactic position (Helena deu um abraço no Pedro/ Pedro recebeu um abraço da Helena). In constructions that are related by Conversion, the active orientation sentence and the active support verb itself are named standard, while the equivalents, of passive order, are named converses. Based on a syntactic-semantic description methodology known as Lexicon-Grammar (M. GROSS, 1975, 1981), in this new phase of the study, which follows Calcia (2016), the lexical entries underwent an update (quantitative and qualitative) and were reclassified into five major classes and subdivided according to the type of subject of the converse construction. Such classes refer to names that are constructed with the pairs FR (fazer-receber), FS (fazer-sofrer), DR (dar-receber), DL (dar-levar) and TT (ter-ter). It is considered that the description of the syntactic phenomenon of Conversion is important for the contribution to linguistic studies, especially descriptive ones, in Brazilian Portuguese. In addition, the formalization of data in binary matrices results in a resource that can be applied in Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems, such as those related to the use of paraphrases.

German Folk Dance is a group dance, the dancers being gathered in circles, lines or in pairs. Choreographies represent different situations that relate to German culture, so as to preserve the richness of this culture by the means of dance. Among the participants, one finds some disabled persons. Up to now, there have been no identified studies on German Folk Dance in regard to its impact on the lives of disabled persons. The general objective of this study was to understand the influence of German Folk Dance in the life of disabled persons. The specific objectives were: a) to analyse the meaning of German Folk Dance in the life of disabled persons; b) to identify the impressions of family and dance group members in regard to the participation of disabled persons; and c) to investigate the possibilities and limits of the teaching of German Folk Dance in the perspective of group coordinators. The research was developed in a qualitative exploratory approach as a case study. As an instrument for data collection, the researched has used sociodemographic questionnaires and semi structured interviews. Due to participants’ location, data collection was carried out online, via the open applications Google Forms and Google Meet. Interviews were manually transcribed. Participants of the data collection were 19 coordinators, 10 group members with disabilities, 10 family members, and 10 fellow group members. Data was treated by thematic analysis and results have been presented in three parts: a) characteristic description of participants; b) description and discussion of the 10 cases; c) thematic analysis in three sections. First, on the meaning of German folk dance for people with disabilities, about which participants have mentioned terms such as “fun”, “presentation” and “attire”. Second comes the impressions of friends and family, who have mentioned “motivation”, “inclusion”, “autonomy”, and “learning about a new culture”. In regard to the possibilities of the teaching of German Folk Dance, coordinators have mentioned benefits in social, physical, cultural and cognitive aspects; in regard to its limits, they have mentioned familiar aid, coordinator training, and attitudinal barriers. One can conclude that German Folk Dance allows the participation of both people with and without disabilities, preserving popular traditions and a felling of togetherness among all participants, which has a positive impact in their lives.

To date, there are gaps in publications in the Brazilian scientific literature on the systematic analysis of behaviors identified in early childhood education that are predictors of formal mathematics education. Thus, the objective of this research is to present, through a systematic review of the literature based on the PRISMA method, which behaviors, terms and descriptors are being used for these mathematical repertoires in children under 06 years of age. The databases used were APA PsycNet, CAPES Periodicals, Pepsic, Scielo, Science Direct and Web of Science. A search was carried out through 11 pre-established descriptors, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. A total of 3,374 articles were found and, after analyzing the eligibility criteria, 62 articles were included in the sample. The articles that were included showed a higher incidence in the descriptor Mathematics in early childhood education. A total of 41 different terms were found to entitle this stage of development prior to learning mathematics. In view of the cut made of the behaviors pointed out by the included articles, we can observe a total of 262 behaviors. Given the sets and behaviors presented, we propose a classification of previous behaviors for mathematical learning: Calculation, Cardinality, Comparison, Counting, One-to-One Correspondence, Shapes, Numerical Lines, Measure/Space/Time, Model, Numbers, Sorting, Quantification, Resolution of Problems, Similarity and Difference.

Drying is one of the highest cost unit operations in the chemical industry, with complex momentum, heat and mass transfer mechanisms. The main objective of this work was to develop a systematic study on thick layer drying, focusing on specific and particular aspects of the sorghum grain, in addition to improving the instrumentation and operation of the data acquisition unit. Sorghum grains were pre-humidified before being placed into the fixed bed. Temperature and moisture measurements were taken over time for different axial positions during drying with and without reversal of the air flow direction at operating temperatures of 50 and 60°C and air velocity of 2,1 m∙s-1. The reversal started at the initial time of 10 min with a change in the air flow direction every 30 min. Reverse drying effectively decreased temperature and moisture gradients along the axial positions compared to conventional drying with upward airflow. Both thermal and mass experiments demonstrated that the drying of sorghum is controlled entirely by diffusion, being a slower process than the drying of inorganic materials. Previous thin layer essays at 40, 50 and 60°C and air velocity of 2,1 m∙s-1 showed that drying had the two phases of decreasing rates usual in diffusion-controlled processes. In fact, both heat and mass transfer measurements showed that the drying of sorghum was entirely diffusion controlled, being a slower process than the drying of inorganic materials. The kinetic models that best fit the thin layer drying data at the three temperatures were the Page and Overhults models, with R² of 0.999. A comparison was made between the drying, in a fixed bed and thick layer, of sorghum with that of alumina and barley. The similarity of the moisture and temperature profiles between sorghum and barley was observed, as they are both organic materials, as well as greater gradients remain at the end of barley drying due to its irregular shape, 4 times larger size and lower thermal conductivity when compared to drying sorghum. Comparing the drying of sorghum with the drying of alumina, it was possible to verify the difficulty that this material presents in order to represent a grain well, because, despite not shrinking (an ideal characteristic), it undergoes the re-wetting process when the reversion of air flow is applied, since half of the drying time is controlled by the convective mechanism.

Nest-site selection is an important decision for birds, relating to offspring survival and parental investiment. Considering the trade off of different strategies and the quality of available spaces, this decision may change in response to environmental changes. In urban environments, human disturbance can affect birds’ reproduction in different ways, but there are still relatively few studies testing the role of human disturbance in nest-site choice. The goal of this study was to identify plasticity in nest-site selection for Pale-breasted Thrush (Turdus leucomelas, VIEILLOT, 1818) and for Creamy- bellied Thrush (Turdus amaurochalinus, CABANIS, 1850), in higher and lower human disturbance situations on an university campus in southeastern Brazil. Nests were located during five breeding seasons, three with higher (2017-2019) and two with lower human movement due to COVID-19 pandemic (2020 and 2021), the nests’ height in relation to the ground was analyzed and its distance to the nearest human passageway. Results showed the more intense people moviment, higher were the nest heights for T. amaurochalinus. For the distance between nests and human passageways, there was a significant difference between the species as well and the more intense people movement proved to have na influence only for T. leucomelas, which in those years built its nests further away from the passageways. For both species, human disturbance may influence nest-site selection in a species-specific behavioral response.

PM air pollution is one of the principal causes of health problems in many regions’ world. This potential may be associated with the more than 500 compounds with toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects already identified in PM that can originate from different natural and anthropogenic sources. Thus, the present study proposed to assess the chemical composition of PM10 from the city of São Carlos-SP and its toxicity in lung cells, tumor alveolar epithelial (A549), and non-tumor fibroblasts (MRC5). PM10 samples were collected for 24 h in 2016 and subjected to chemical analysis for the PAHs and their derivatives determination, in addition to analyzing saccharides and water-soluble ions to assist in the PM10 emission sources identification to the atmosphere. In vitro biological analyzes of cell viability, ROS, and cell proliferation were performed to evaluate the toxicity of PM10 extracts. The annual mean PM10 concentration was 21.12 ± 9.90 μg m-3, lower than that legislated limit in Brazil but higher than that recommended by the WHO. In these samples, the principal emission sources were: biomass burning with secondary aerosols, biomass burning and fossil fuels, biogenic aerosols, and soil. The risk to human health from exposure to PAHs estimated by BaPE was 3.09 ± 4.23 lung cancer cases per 100,000 people. Furthermore, biological analyzes identified a significant reduction in the viability of A549 and MRC5 cells, exposed to PM10 extracts for 72 h, and also the formation of ROS. In the face of these results, given the observed toxicological effects, it is concluded that more studies are needed with different cell lines and better control and reduction of PM emissions to the atmosphere.

Aluminum is a versatile metal and has remarkable characteristics, such as good appearance, corrosion resistance and low density, used in several applications such as civil construction, transport and packaging. The use of primary aluminum extracted from mineral resources is still expressive, but due to its high recyclability, low loss of physical-chemical properties and reduced energy consumption, the recycling process is fundamental for economy and sustainability. Thus, beverage cans play a key role in this market, since a can goes through the entire cycle of processing, consumption, disposal, and recycling in just a few months. Although aluminum can recycling has great relevance, there are few experimental studies that relate chemical and metallographic control methods of smelting parameters in aluminum recycling recovery. In this context, the objective of the present work is the bibliographical research of the techniques of chemical and metallographic analysis carried out during the recycling process of aluminum cans and the elaboration of a technical apostille aimed in higher education. The results were obtained from the consultation of national (ABNT) and international (ASTM) technical standards, technical books from ASM's Metals Handbook collection, and specific articles available in CAPES journals. It approaches the evaluation of the alloys that compose the aluminum can, through the analysis of the chemical composition by Optical Emission Spectroscopy and the microstructural analysis of the metallic alloy, using metallographic techniques. The summary of these best practices was made available in a apostille, with the aim of application and use in higher education. The proposed theme is of great importance for the development of professional and academic knowledge in quality control in the recycling of aluminum beverage cans.

The magnitude of the Brazilian agricultural and agro industrial market impresses by its greatness, but it is also the cause of serious concerns regarding the amount of waste generated and how to handle such residues. This kind of material comprises several chemically-interesting fractions, some of which potentially carrying bioactive compounds that could add value to the process when extracted, integrating biomass-based chemical platforms (biorefineries) when allied to other products and processes. Notably, organic agricultural systems could be interesting feedstocks for biorefineries, as they are not only considered greener production models, but also because they are often linked to a higher presence of flavonoids and other secondary metabolites that have bioactive properties. The central objective of this work is to extract, through green methods, the main bioactive compounds from the processing waste of fruits from both conventional and organic agricultural systems produced in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Chemometric tools were used on experimental design and data assessment to evaluate and optimize different green extraction methods. Considering mango (Mangifera indica) processing waste, Homogenizer-Assisted Extraction (HAE), Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) and Matrix Solid Phase Dispersion (MSPD) were studied, tested and optimized using ethanol-water (ethanolic) mixtures as solvents and assessing the extraction yield of mangiferin and hyperoside as responses. The use of aqueous solutions of Ionic Liquids (ILs) was also tested and discussed as viable solvent alternatives. Regarding guava (Psidium guajava) processing waste samples, the study was focused on improving the extraction yield of quercetin and vanillin with acidic ethanolic solutions (HCl), using HAE and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) techniques. Besides that, as a proof-of-concept, the use of Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) was assessed as a tool for the screening of solvents and mixtures of solvents that allow a higher extraction yield of hesperidin from orange peels (Citrus sinensis). All extracts were analyzed using liquid chromatography and the compounds were quantified using calibration curves obtained with commercially available analytical standards. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed for the assessment of the parameters that affect each extraction technique, as well as the optimization of these variables in terms of the extraction yield. Lastly, biological activity assays were conducted to evaluate the potential use of the ethanolic extracts from mango and guava processing wastes as biocidal products. Mango extracts and mangiferin and hyperoside standards were tested against the microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata, while both mango and guava extracts were assessed for their insecticidal activity against larvae of Helicoverpa armigera moth and nymphs of the neotropical brown stink bug (Euschistus heros). In order to assess the selectivity of the extracts as a pesticidal product, phytotoxic assays were conducted on soybean plants (Glycine max).

Since banana is a food of high energy value, has low production technological indexes and has great socioeconomic importance for Brazil, the increase in shelf life is desired. Drying is one of the most used processes in conservation and maintenance of its guarantees, whose main objective is the quality of a product with longer shelf life, post- processing refrigeration exemption and shorter enzymatic and oxidative degradation. On the other hand, for the dimensioning of equipments and optimal process control, is required a clear understanding of the transport phenomena, heat and mass transfer, the properties involved and the correct choice of the numerical method for solving the equations derived from the discretization. In this sense, two numerical methods were developed and studied, Progressive Finite Difference Method and Method of Lines, in order to study the transfers. Simulations in Octave Software were performed in order to check the convergence order of the method applied to a simplified problem.

Introduction: Cellulite is one of the most common aesthetic disorders in clinical practice. Carboxytherapy is a new and promising therapy for treatment of this disorder, the administration is subcutaneously through needles, which can generate local pain and that is considered the main limiting fator in clinical practice. Vibration anestesia has desmonstrated effectiveness during painful procedures but it has not yet been investigated in relieving pain associated with carboxytherapy. Objective: To asses the effects of vibration anesthesia on pain intensity associated with the application of carboxytherapy in celulite. Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial that was carried out with 52 women, between 18 and 49 years old, with no previous experience with carboxytherapy therapy, with the presence of moderate and/or severe cellulite in the gluteal region, according to the Cellulite Severity Scale. The patients were randomly distributed into two groups, the vibration group and the control group. For the intervention, the depressions of the skin with cellulite were demarcated and the delimitation of the gluteal area was carried out for the infiltration of CO2, through needles, with an angle of 45º and programmed flow of 80 ml/min, whose volume of gas infused by puncture was 50ml. The vibration device used was a Vibrata® brand, with a flat-shaped tip, measuring 3cm in size, with frequency (f) 6,000 vibrations per minute. The application of the vibration anesthesia device in the vibration group was started 5 seconds before the start of the puncture, and remained on until the end of each puncture. The device was positioned approximately 2 cm away from the needle throughout the procedure. Results: The women were divided into two groups and the mean pain was measured in their respective quadrants in both groups. The mean pain intensity in the vibration group was 4.95 (2.37) and in the control group 4.98 (2.43). Conclusions: Vibration anesthesia did not reduce pain intensity when compared to the control group.

Introduction: Carboxytherapy consists of the administration of carbon dioxide (CO2) subcutaneously. The application is done through needles, which can generate local pain, which is considered the main limiting factor in clinical practice. The Aussie current is indicated for pain control, and as it is a medium frequency current, it is considered that it can reach deeper tissues and may be a promising current in the relief of pain in painful procedures, such as pain caused by carboxytherapy. Objective: To investigate the feasibility of the Aussie current over three sessions during the application of carboxytherapy in the treatment of cellulite. Methods: This is a case series aimed at assessing pain intensity and increasing current amplitude. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numerical Pain Scale (END), being measured by each quadrant that received a maximum of two punctures. With this, the average of pain intensity was performed by quadrant and, later, by gluteal laterality that received the intervention. At the end of the three sessions performed, the averages found between them were compared. The current amplitude was recorded in mA at the beginning and end of each session. In addition, it was adjusted throughout the therapeutic procedure and compared between the three sessions performed. The research was carried out in 25 women, between 18 and 49 years old, with no previous experience with carboxytherapy therapy, with presence of moderate and/or severe cellulite in the gluteal region, according to the Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS). For the intervention, the depressions of the skin with cellulite were demarcated and the delimitation of the gluteal area was performed for the infiltration of CO2 in the subcutaneous tissue, whose volume of gas infused by puncture was 50 ml. The Aussie current parameters were: carrier frequency of 4 kHz, phase duration of 125 μs (pulse duration = 250 μs), duty cycle of 20% (burst duration of 4 ms), modulation frequency of 100 Hz and amplitude gradually adjusted for maximum tolerable sensation. Results: The pain intensity assessed showed a considerable reduction over the three sessions and the current amplitude increased. Conclusion: It is concluded that the use of the Aussie current during the application of carboxytherapy was feasible. Pain intensity decreased over the three sessions and current amplitude showed a gradual increase between sessions.

As disfunções metabólicas oriundas da obesidade são resultantes da expansão exacerbada do tecido adiposo, á medida que existe uma relação direta na secreção de adipocitocinas pró-inflamatórias que exercem efeitos nocivos em órgãos adjacentes. Essas alterações podem ser atenuadas com o auxílio da atividade física pois ela reduz a adiposidade corporal, fator que contribui para a diminuição de adipocitocinas pró-inflamatórias e seus efeitos nocivos ao organismo. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura em plataformas que fornecem dados acadêmicos encontrados nos principais periódicos de ciências da saúde: PUBMED, SCIELO e LILACS. Foram realizadas buscas em um período de pesquisa de 5 anos com as palavras-chave: obesity, inflammation, physical exercise e experimental models. Os resultados mostram que o exercício físico, é eficaz em reduzir a secreção de citocinas inflamatórias, reduzir a resistência periférica à insulina, aumentar o índice HOMA-IR, diminuir a captação da glicose, aumentar a fração LDL do colesterol, reduzir os níveis de triglicerídeos. Ademais, o exercício físico ainda foi eficaz em promover adaptações favoráveis para um quadro homeostático estável por meio da predominante polarização de macrófagos 2, melhorando a resposta do sistema imune de forma sistêmica. Os protocolos aeróbicos aparecem de forma predominante para causar respostas benéficas nesses indicadores quando comparados com os demais tipos de protocolos resistidos e combinados, principalmente quando são realizados em intensidade alta e moderada.

El presente trabajo analizó las representaciones acerca del medioambiente y la ciudad sostenible en dos videojuegos: The Sims y Cities Skylines. Para ello, la investigación se apoyó en estudios teóricos sobre la Educación Ambiental, el medioambiente y la sostenibilidad en la interfaz con la Teoría del Discurso. Si bien ambos juegos digitales abordan temas relacionados con el medioambiente y la ciudad desde una perspectiva sostenible, de ahí su carácter pedagógico, no abordan las causas reales de la degradación de la ciudad y su ecosistema.

Harttia genus comprises a fish group widely distributed in hydrographic basins of South America. In the cytogenetic point of view, present large karyotypic variation, including an extensive variation in position of ribosomal DNA, B chromosome presence and diversified sex chromosome systems. It is proposed the occurrence of chromosomal instability sites present on the genome of this species could lead the DNA double strand breaks, which trigger these chromosomal rearrangements. Thus, this work aimed to analyze rearrangements and the chromosome involved on karyotypic differentiation in Harttia species, as well the accumulation of repetitive sequence in these regions. Ten species were collected in different hydrographic basins of south, southeast and middlewest regions, including two new not described species. Firstly, classical, and molecular cytogenetic tools were used, including in situ hybridization of ribosomal genes and telomeric sequences, in addition to comparative genomic hybridization essays. The results reveal two new cases occurrence of multiple sex chromosome XX/XY1Y2, besides of new not described species with the highest diploid number founded in the genus. In the investigation of chromosomal rearrangements, was used the microdissection and whole chromosome painting techniques. Were isolated six different chromosomes: 25 (X1) and 26 (X2) from H. punctata, 9 and X (pair 1) chromosome from H. carvalhoi, X chromosome (pair 1) from H. intermontana and chromosome 1 from H. torrenticola. The chromosome painting results using the X1 and X2 probes indicated several chromosomal rearrangements occurred during the diversification of Harttia species from south and southeast regions. With these results, was possible detect that chromosomal breakpoint regions are located inside or surrounding the ribosomal DNA sites in Harttia genome, and these sites triggered several events of chromosomal remodeling. The chromosome painting results obtained with X chromosome probes and chromosome 9 of H. carvalhoi showed that fusion centric events were responsible for the origin of these chromosomes and for decrease in diploid number variation in this lineage. The chromosome 1 of H. torrenticola demonstrated high homeology to chromosome X of H. carvalhoi. Although with similar morphology, the X chromosome of H. intermontana arise from a translocation event between X and autosome (chromosome 9 of H. carvalhoi) besides the identification of other chromosomal rearrangements that triggered the repositioning of homeology blocks on the karyotype of this species. Furthermore, demonstrated two different types of multiple sex chromosome systems founded in the genus, had independent evolutive origin. About the investigation of repetitive sequences associated with this instability regions, were mapped microsatellite sequences and analyzed regarding to the accumulation in chromosomal rearrangements occurred regions. It was observed an enrichment of different sequences in double strand break region. Although a genomic characterization can be necessary to identify the instable sites, the results obtained point to double strand breakpoints in Harttia genome and reaffirm the high karyotypic plasticity in the genus.

Memory, knowledge, and practices related to the human ecology of riverine populations in the Amanã Lake (AM) are treated in this study from a women's perspective. The work also presents and discusses aspects of women’s ecological knowledge, as well the woman's role in the productive activities in the household economy scale. Historical fragments about the region are also presented, bringing to light aspects of the past way of life of its population. It was carried out 22-days fieldwork among riverine communities in the Amanã Lake. The study makes use of an ethnographic approach, with the application of informal and semi-structured interviews, as well participant observation in the field. Boa Esperança, Boa Vista do Calafate, Santa Luzia, and Ubim were visited during the research. Six women, between 27 and 75 years old were interviewed, but only three of them were selected to be included in this monograph, based on their biographies and oral history contents. The interviewers’ narratives show elements of women's human ecology in an Amazonian riverine context, at the same time that reveal women's perception and knowledge about ecology, landscape, history, environmental changes, among other related topics.

Sex, sexuality and disability are complex phenomena, present in everyone's lives, but manifesting themselves in different ways. These phenomena are permeated by knowledge and powers and can motivate episodes of aggression. Sexual violence is any sexual act that involves coercion, intimidation, threats or blackmail, and is carried out without the consent of the other person. Sexual exploitation is the forced involvement of minors in situations of prostitution or forced marriage. There is a high incidence of this violence today, especially among female adolescents, however there are few studies that investigate this violence aimed at people with disabilities. This gap in Brazilian scientific production prompts questions to Brazilian researchers and unfolds in research possibilities, such as the vulnerability of people with disabilities to situations of sexual violence and their knowledge about violence, sex and sexuality. Thus, the general objective of this research was to investigate the vulnerability of young people with intellectual disabilities in the face of situations of sexual violence and to identify the knowledge of these young people and their guardians and teachers about sexuality, sex, sexual violence and its prevention. Quali-quantitative methods of data collection and analysis were used. Initially, the “What if – Situations test” instrument was applied to nine young people diagnosed with intellectual disabilities residing in the interior of the state of São Paulo to investigate their vulnerability to situations of sexual violence. Semi structured interviews were also carried out with these young people, their guardians and their teachers, addressing topics about sex, sexuality, sex education and protection from sexual violence. The collected data were systematized and analyzed qualitatively using genealogy under a Foucaultian understanding. The results showed that young women demonstrate considerable vulnerability to sexual violence, with difficulties in recognizing situations that indicate danger and in acting in the face of these situations. Their responses to situations of danger were permeated by social constructions of gender, approaching socially required performances of the male and female gender. The speeches of the guardians circulated about the overprotection of their children, constituting a system of surveillance and control of the body, and in infantilizing and asexual notions of disability. The teachers also noticed these speeches by the guardians, and they try to do orienting work with the students, however their performance is permeated by the control and surveillance of the body and by the hypersexualizing discourses of disability. Both teachers and guardians say they do not work on preventing violence with young people, giving vague and not very assertive guidelines on sexual violence. The intersection between the studies of sexuality, violence and disability is an unexplored field, however rich in contributions to professional practice and to the fight against violence. It is hoped that this thesis has contributed to these questions.
