It was found as a research problem to be investigated the need to understand, in a more systematic way, how studies on decoloniality are being presented and developed in the context of Communication, as an area of knowledge. More specifically, we tried to identify how much research in Communication is considering the issues that involve the claims of decoloniality in the development of their practices. From this place of Communication, the aim was to develop approaches to Information Science studies, which concern the studies that the area develops in Marketing aimed at information products and services. The transversal objective that was intended to be reached was to identify elements that allowed to discuss how elements of decolonization of advertising, developed in the scope of Communication, could be considered by Information Science, when developing actions and Marketing of its informational products and services. Thus, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the objective was to present, as an result of research, a set of reflections, with a communicative and decolonial basis, for informational studies and practices, especially those that concern informational marketing actions. For this, the method used was composed of a set of exploratory actions, which were supported by bibliographic and documentary research. And the argumentative construction of the research was based on a narrative review of the literature, since it was not their objective to present an art state on the subjects discussed, but yes, to list studies that would make possible an argumentative and propositional construction to the field of Information Science, based on Communication.

In the public sector Internal Control System (ICS), the internal audit function can assist in achieving organizational objectives and and in support of the External Control. The Governmental Internal Audit - AIG is the focal object of this research, whose results are now reported. GIA presents itself as an innovation in the Brazilian public sector after the publication of normative instructions nº 3 and 8 of the Brazilian Ministry of Transparency, Inspection and Comptroller-General of the Union – CGU, both from 2017, which approve the Technical Reference for GIA Activity of the Federal Executive Branch – FEB, and the Implementation Guide for the Professional Practice of GIA within the Brazilian FEB, becoming regulatory frameworks on GIA's role in public governance. This dissertation sought to adapt and create a methodology for the federal standards application in AIG activities of the SCI, exercised by the Department of Water Supply & Sanitation (DWSS) Controllership, municipal autarchy responsible for the basic sanitation of the city of Araraquara/SP. The action research, of qualitative nature, had the descriptive-exploratory double purpose, for describing the GIA implementing process, through two instruments: an operational procedure and a professional booklet, and for investigating, on an exploratory basis, the difficulties and advances observed, before and after, the implementation of a risk-based audit program in DWSS. Data collection was done through participant observation, in the GIA implementing process in the autarchy between 2018 and 2022. Aiming a data sources triangulating of the studied phenomenon, a documentary research was carried out on the sentences issued by the Sao Paulo State Court of Accounts (COA-SP) on the DWSS accounts between 2010 and 2020. Data analysis was performed using the content analysis technique of the external auditors written opinions, focusing on the excerpts that report the COA-SP findings, being both the qualifications (possible unqualifications) and the recommendations. As a result some categories of difficulties overcome and advances obtained after the GIA activity start, from 2018, were identified: increase in the resolution of COA-SP audit finding monitored and resolved by the autarchy; reduction in the number of COA-SP finding; ICS reporting improvements; greater use of ICS recommendations by COA-SP and autarchy´s management. The two technical products, which offer a practical model proposal for the GIA carrying out, points walkthrough instructions for the GIA tools use, from planning to the evaluation report issue. They can possibly be adapted and reproduced in other municipal sanitation bodies, in accordance with the CGU standards. They can possibly be adapted and reproduced in other municipal sanitation bodies, in accordance with the CGU standards. The research points to the progress into the relations between Internal Control and External Control, and the gradual strengthening of the DWSS-Araraquara accountability.

In recent years, film production in Brazil has grown considerably. This growth has been analyzed from different perspectives, but it is still not understood in its specificities, activities, processes and actions of the actors involved. Our proposal in this thesis is to look at the Brazilian film industry from the organizations that compose it, for their logic, relationships and practices that enable its functioning. To this end, field theories and analysis of social networks are used as a basis for the work, in order to assist in the formation, analysis and understanding of the dynamics between companies involved in cinematographic activities. At first, Brazilian cinema approaches organizational studies, questioning the industry models valued in the field. Then, through secondary data from the National Film Agency (Ancine), the networks of interactions between production companies, audio and image post-production studios, as well as producers and distributors, between 1995 and 2019, with the aim of understanding the consolidation of the constituent fields of the macro-field of the national film industry. Finally, in order to deepen the understanding of the relationships between the companies, a survey was carried out with the producing companies regarding their internal training, forms of contract and criteria for forming partnerships. With such primary information, it was possible to identify the film production in the country as organized by projects, with the hiring of professionals from specialized activities and orchestrated by small companies, the production companies. The combination of the parts of the present work allows, therefore, an overview of the fields, through the networks of relationships between companies that point out characteristics of contemporary Brazilian cinematographic production. These characteristics are analyzed and presented in relation to their social and economic context, valuing the links between the actors involved, which are, therefore, the central element of the study and operation of the industry.

In the schooling scenario of students Target Public of Special Education (PAEE) there are several actors: special education teacher, regular classroom teacher, management team, health professionals and also professionals who support the student PAEE. One of these is described in the Brazilian Inclusion Law - LBI as a school support professional (PAE), whose responsibilities involve the student's food, hygiene and locomotion activities. The legislation provides for the entry of this professional in the school and the demand for it has been growing, particularly after the growth of enrollments of PAEE students in common schools and the approval of LBI. This law guaranteed a legal provision for this type of support and defined the role of these professionals, favoring their hiring, since the education systems are regulating this profession in guiding documents based on the law. In view of this, the following guiding question arises: Through the legal provision (LBI), of the profession of the support professional being recent, how are the systems regulating the hiring of PAEs? The general objective of the study was based on describing and analyzing how the education networks are regulating the hiring of school support professionals, considering the regulated attributions, positions, functions and working conditions. This research took place through the method of document analysis. Data collection was carried out in two stages: the first stage was the search for the websites of the Departments of Education and/or Special Education to investigate whether they mentioned support professionals. The document survey stage aimed to verify the available material on the subject. The next step of the research was to find the State Education Plans (PEE) of the states and the Federal District (PDE) and to see if they mentioned support professionals. Data analysis took place in two stages: the first, the selection and organization of the material and, in the second, the categorization of the data that were divided into two axes: PEE (Term, State and Nomenclature used) and Selective Processes (Forms of hiring, Nomenclature, Contractual regime, Required Training, Salary and other benefits, working hours and assigned functions - Assignments for the position and Requirements). The initial hypothesis was that there would be few laws covering support professionals, as well as their attributions, forms of hiring and level of education, which could give them incipient visibility. However, the results indicate that the laws are not uniform, as they name these professionals in different ways, even though their attributions are similar. They showed the urgency of discussion regarding the selection criteria of these professionals in consensus with the studies highlighted in the research. The selection of PAEs must be thought of urgently and carefully, resulting in other factors, a better performance and quality of the services provided. The present study met the proposed objectives regarding the understanding of working conditions, hiring regimes and the functions assigned to these professionals, assuming, therefore, the role of triggering new investigations on the subject. It is concluded that the inexistence of a specific law that contemplates the PAEs has culminated in deregulation, and there may be cheapening and precariousness of its workforce. For further studies, it is proposed to deepen public policies, involving support networks and emphasizing the role of PAEs in the context of Special Education

The present ethnographic research, which focuses on the cheering and samba inside of a cheer- school: the Gaviões da Fiel (GDF), aims to observe specifically the relationship between people and materials. From the emphasis on the dynamics of fans and/or sambistas, which are crossed by the material life of the organization, we tried to discuss cheering and sambering as sensorial vocations mediated by things inserted in the practices of sociability. The participant observation, up close and from the inside, sought to escape from the official discourses of harmony and cohesion between the two popular projects, carnival and bleachers, to thus dive into the fissures of this ordinary sociality permeated by conflicts, tensions, and negotiations, especially in the relationship with the materials in the cheer-school. Through the ethnographic example of the protagonism of things that also build people in the GDF, we speculated about possible updates in the ways of cheering and/or samba, both from this schismogenic experimentation between fans and school, and from the material life at the core of the daily experiences in the agremiation.

La presente tesis se centra en la comprensión de los procesos de movilización y construcción de las identidades campesinas, en la región del Magdalena Medio Colombia. La investigación partió de los planteamientos teóricos sobre identidad de Stuart Hall (1996, 2019) y configuración social de Norbert Elias (2001, 2016); metodológicamente hizo uso de técnicas cualitativas como entrevistas a profundidad, observaciones de campo y análisis documental de las noticias de un periódico de circulación nacional. Para el trabajo de campo la unidad de análisis fue la vereda, es decir, la menor unidad político administrativa en la que se organiza el sector rural de Colombia; para el análisis documental se tomó la región del Magdalena Medio/ Sur de Bolívar y los campesinos como criterios de búsqueda y selección de las noticias a ser analizadas. La investigación intenta dar una mirada multidimensional a la construcción de la identidad de los pobladores rurales, dialogando con diversas cuestiones que emergen cotidianamente en el mundo campesino: tierra, organización campesina, conflictos, relación con el Estado, violencia, ilegalidad/legalidad, entre otros. Entre los resultados se destaca que los procesos de construcción y movilización de la identidad campesina en la región están anclados a la experiencia histórica compartida por grupos de hombres y mujeres alrededor de la vida cotidiana en la vereda y de la interacción con otros actores, que los configura como grupo y que – según las particularidades de esa experiencia – los impulsa a identificarse con las categorías campesino, colono, cocalero o comunidad negra. Esas experiencias se han ido construyendo desde los procesos de colonización de tierras impulsados por la construcción del ferrocarril, la industria del petróleo, la minería de oro, el cultivo de hoja de coca, la explotación maderera, la violencia política o la búsqueda de tierra para vivir. Las identidades movilizadas por el sector campesino se construyen en la relación con diversos actores, principalmente el Estado y sus instituciones; es ante el Estado que el campesinado reclama reconocimiento como sujeto de derechos y ante quien disputa los límites y contenidos de las diferentes categorías de identificación. Las identidades se construyen en el juego de interacciones cotidianas al interior de la familia y la vereda alrededor de la tierra, el trabajo y la organización comunitaria; la construcción de las identidades campesinas no se da al margen de las jerarquías, relaciones de género y generacionales, los usos y conflictos por la tierra, la socialización de valores al interior de las familias, el trabajo de la agricultura familiar y la organización comunitaria. Las Juntas de Acción Comunal (JAC) y los Consejos Comunitarios son espacios que permiten que los campesinos de la región interlocuten con la administración municipal y con diversas entidades estatales a nivel departamental y nacional, también posibilitan el engranaje de la vereda y sus habitantes con las organizaciones campesinas regionales y nacionales y participar en las movilizaciones sociales en torno a la tierra, la política agraria, la sustitución integral de cultivos de coca, el reconocimiento de la minería artesanal, los derechos humanos, entre otras demandas de los campesinos de la región. Estos procesos de construcción y movilización de identidades se han dado en un contexto marcado por la violencia desplegada por guerrillas, paramilitares y el mismo Estado. Finalmente, debe resaltarse el carácter relacional, flexible y estratégico de las identidades, así como las posibilidades que ofrece su movilización para el acceso a derechos por parte del campesinado.

Among renewable energies, biomass will play a key role in the coming years. The possibility of using residues as solid biofuels allows industries to dispose of materials that were previously discarded, with economic and environmental gains. The formation of slag, incrustation and corrosion in boilers, caused by biomass ash used as raw material for combustion, can interfere in the reduction of its efficiency and, consequently, in the choice of material to be burned. Closing the production cycle, one of the final destinations of the ash can be as a soil improver. The objective of this work was to characterize the biomasses used in a steam generating industry, as well as to analyze the resulting ashes and apply them as an improver to the substrate for germination of redneck cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seeds. Among the biomasses, the ash content ranged from 0.65 to 14.44% for teak wood waste and rice husk, respectively. The eucalyptus husk and rice husk presented the lowest HHV. The thermogravimetric analysis showed some uniformity, with initial temperatures around 305 °C and final temperatures of 600 °C. The analysis of the ash made by the EDS showed a greater presence of calcium, potassium and silicon, chlorine and titanium were also identified in some biomasses. For the ash, it can be seen that there is still a fixed carbon remnant in some of the ash collected, reaching levels of approximately 60%. This may indicate incomplete combustion of the biomass in the boiler. The ashes showed HHV values between 1.95 MJ.kg-1 and 29.63 MJ.kg-1. The components most present in fly ash were calcium, potassium, magnesium, silicon, iron and aluminum, in addition to the presence of chlorine, whereas in the bottom ash they had a higher composition of silicon, potassium and calcium. For cucumber seedlings, the ash positively influenced the size of the seedlings and also the concentration, mainly, of macronutrients. The presence of ash resulted in a more alkaline substrate.

The work proposes to understand how the Career Plan for the Public Magisterium in the Municipality of Piracicaba is being established. This is an instrument of the Human Resources Administration, foreseen by the Brazilian educational legislation for teaching categories, especially for Basic Education. The objective is to understand the specificities of the elaboration of a Career Plan for Public Teaching in the Municipality of Piracicaba, through the analysis of the compatibility of incentives for professional development, in a career, with the organizational objectives of the City Hall. The study focuses on a literature review on the topic of strategic management of people in the public sector, the study of positions and careers, and also the concept of teacher professional development. The Systematic Bibliographic Review focused on career planning in public education was used to map the field of study. As qualitative and quantitative descriptive research strategies, data triangulation is built around 1) Participant Observation, through the political-institutional context of the Municipality of Piracicaba and the Municipal Department of Education aligned with the researcher's experience as a natural member of the Network Municipal Education; 2) Documentary Analysis that breaks down Complementary Law Projects nº 11/2004 and nº 17/2017, which deal with the legislative matter object of this study, in Piracicaba, and were both rejected and archived; and 3) the application of a Survey, through a questionnaire proposed to the target audience of Piracicaban teachers, whose results show an average profile of municipal teachers. From the triangulation of data between Participant Observation, Document Analysis and Survey it led to the conclusion that the City Hall offered career plans consistent with the professional development of teachers, valuing career progression based on academic title, length of service, functional performance and continuing education courses for professional improvement and qualification. The plans, however, have yet to be approved and implemented. The City Hall's objectives, in this sense, consist of complying with current educational legislation, consolidating the structure of the Municipal Education Network and valuing teaching professionals. At the end, possibilities for future studies are proposed related to the teacher's participation in the elaboration of these plans, the legal forecast of career plans for other servants of Basic Education, and the possibilities of access to school management positions.

About 4% of the GDP of industrialized countries is destined to the maintenance of materials deteriorated by corrosion and the corrosion of reinforcements contributes to a significant portion of this percentage. Another problem in civil construction is the exacerbated use of natural resources, such as sand and gravel, used as aggregates for the production of concrete. Over time, these resources became scarce and the use of recycled aggregates became necessary. The author's research group has been working with eco-efficient waste for two decades, and this knowledge was combined with the general objective of this work, which was to evaluate the corrosion of reinforcement in cementitious composites with the incorporation of two residues separately: sugarcane bagasse ash sand (SBAS) and water treatment sludge (WTS), both used as fine aggregate in concrete pore solutions (CPS) and in cement composite samples. The innovation of this work lies in the use of the corrosion assessment technique in CPS for concrete with residues. For this, carbon steel samples were immersed in pore solutions of cementitious composites with SBAS and WTS in pure solutions and solutions contaminated with aggressive agents to the reinforcement (chlorides and carbonates). In an electrochemical cell, the monitoring of the open circuit potential, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the linear scanning polarization were carried out to verify the corrosion of the steel in the different solutions studied. In addition, the results obtained were compared to the results of similar evaluation on cementitious composites of the same traces of WTS and SBAS. Based on the analyzes carried out, it was possible to conclude that the incorporation of SBAS is beneficial in terms of corrosion resistance of reinforcements, and can be used as a fine aggregate to replace 30% by mass with natural sand in concrete for structural purposes in marine environments. However, 3% of LETA replacing natural sand in concrete caused the passivation film not to form properly on the reinforcement. Therefore, in this case, concrete with this WTS percentage cannot be recommended for structural purposes in a marine environment.

Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the renewable energies indicated in the replacement of fossil fuels for the production of bioenergy and mitigation of climate change, given its wide distribution and quantity, considering the different types of biomass and its residues. However, it is necessary to study the thermal behavior of biomass in order to achieve greater energy efficiency. A usual methodology to understand the thermal behavior of biomass is thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). As lignocellulosic biomass has a complex and heterogeneous composition, in TGA the decomposition ranges of its compounds overlap at some points. Thus, thermogravimetric analysis of biomass-cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin compounds has been used; in order to elucidate the degradation ranges and parameters of each constituent separately and how they interfere in the thermal degradation of in natura biomass. The objective of this work was to thermally analyze the biomass of eucalyptus wood chips and sugarcane bagasse, as well as their compounds – cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin; in order to understand more about the combustion and pyrolysis processes of biomass. Proximate analysis and chemical analysis of the biomasses were performed to obtain the components of the biomass and analyze in thermogravimetry. The materials analyzed were: microcrystalline cellulose, cotton, xylose, kraft and organosolv lignins, eucalyptus chips (in natura, without extractives, holocellulose, alphacellulose, lignin) and sugarcane bagasse (in natura, without extractives, holocellulose, alphacellulose, lignin). The xylose DTG curve showed two degradation peaks before 350 °C and stabilized the degradation near 400 °C, indicating less resistance to thermal degradation. The DTG curves for cotton, microcrystalline cellulose, alpha cellulose from eucalyptus chips and alpha cellulose from sugarcane bagasse showed a narrow degradation range and a sharp peak of maximum degradation around 300-400 °C. The DTG curves of lignins (kraft lignin, orgnosolv lignin, eucalyptus lignin and bagasse lignin) showed a less pronounced degradation, covering wide temperature ranges - between 270 and 560 °C, proving the stability and resistance of the material to thermal degradation. Sugarcane bagasse proved to be more thermally stable than eucalyptus. In general, for both eucalyptus and bagasse, the TG and DTG curves of in natura biomass, without extractives, holocellulose and alphacellulose were similar, but there was a gradual omission of the peak corresponding to the deflection temperature before the point of deflection. maximum decomposition (Tsh) and the narrowing of the base of the maximum degradation peak in the DTG curve, a behavior that is probably associated with the loss of secondary/extractive compounds and hemicellulose. To accurately plot the TG and DTG curves, as well as perform kinetic studies, it is recommended to use different heating rates.

As soon as they enter the military institutions, all individuals are obligatorily submitted to a rigorous period, called Basic Military Training (BMT). In this sense, the present study aimed to evaluate and characterize musculoskeletal injuries, training load, recovery, creatine kinase (CK) concentration and skin temperature during the BMT of the Air Force Academy (AFA). This is a longitudinal study, carried out during the AFA TBM, lasting 37 days. To verify the musculoskeletal injuries that occurred during training, a daily survey of medical and physiotherapeutic records was carried out. After the military training instructions, the participants were evaluated through the subjective perception of exertion (SPE) and once a day, always before the first activity, they were asked about the current stage of recovery using the total quality of recovery scale (TQR). From the SPE, the total weekly training load (TWTL) and the monotony index were calculated. In the pre-BMT period and at the end of each week, CK concentrations and skin temperatures were measured. A total of 103 male soldiers were evaluated. During the BMT, 121 musculoskeletal injuries were recorded, which were suffered by 64.1% (n=66) of the military. The body region with the highest frequency of injuries were the lower limbs (75.2%). Of the participants who suffered at least one musculoskeletal injury, 42.4% (n=28) were excused from activities for at least one day. The TWTL of week 2, 20010.1±4010.1 (U.A), was the lowest when compared to the others (p<0.001). The weekly averages found for monotony were higher than 2.6±0.5. For TQR, the second week was the one with the worst recovery (11.5±1.6) (p<0.001). CK increased right at the beginning of training and remained throughout the BMT with values higher than the initial assessment. Bilateral asymmetries greater than 0.5º were found in several body regions, with the knee being the most affected region. A positive correlation was found between CK and the temperature of the biceps, pectorals and knees, but only in a few weeks. The findings of the present study indicate that the TBM had a high percentage of injuries, with the lower limbs being the most affected region. The weekly training loads were high, showed no progression and had high monotony. Recovery throughout the stage was not adequate. CK increased at the beginning of the stage and remained high. Skin temperature showed asymmetries, but these did not correlate with CK concentration.

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have occupied a distinctive role in society: they are predisposed to be at the forefront of social change and to deal with problems. In this context, the aim of this work was to investigate how the theme of sustainability is dealt with and the application of in HEIs. To achieve this objective, the work proposed to explore how sustainability in HEIs was addressed in the literature, to evaluate the selected publications, to integrate the dimensions of sustainability to the purpose activity of HEIs and how sustainability is operationalized in Brazilian HEIs. As results and discussion, the published articles were identified, with relevance and comprehensiveness and the main types, methodologies, scales, dimensions and approaches were analyzed. In addition to proposing the integration of the dimensions of sustainability with the end-activity of Brazilian HEIs, by means of structural equation modeling. Finally, the evaluation of the application of sustainability demonstrated that although there are constant efforts by both public and private HEIs, sustainability still reaches low levels of application in most of them. Future work needs to conduct the assessment in a multinational context and better investigate the interaction between sustainability in public and private HEIs.

Self-regulation interventions have been the object of study due to their increasing evidence and association with health throughout life, social and educational aspects. Research shows that children who have experienced adverse experiences (for example, experiencing violence at home), tend to have deficits in self-regulation skills, therefore, it is important to delve into intervention processes. This research aims to analyze, through a systematic review with meta-analysis, following the "PRISMA" reporting guide, the interventions in self-regulation that have contributed to those children who experienced adverse experiences. The search in six databases, reflected a total of 6,854 studies of self-regulation and adverse experiences in childhood. After making a selection by reading titles, abstracts, 83 studies were selected for full reading, an analysis of quality and bias of randomized controlled studies and randomized controlled studies by groups, selected 41 studies for a qualitative analysis and 21 studies for meta-analysis, based on measures of heterogeneity between studies. The main results found are related to the type of intervention: interventions within the school environment, interventions based on electronic or computerized games, interventions focused on family support, interventions based on games or physical activities, such as yoga, mindfulness or some sport. Finally, the results based on the type of population that has experienced adverse experiences and the studies that work on self-regulation, limitations, and the implications of the results for practice, policy, and future research are discussed.

This dissertation aims at exploring the intrinsic characteristics of the Board of Directors, verifying the conformity of such boards with the stablished good practices of Corporate Governance while also exploring the Board Interlocking that exists in said boards with the help of Network Analysis. It also aims to map the shareholder composition of the studied companies composed by a sample of Level 2 of Corporate Governance of B3 from the year 2017. For that, we used a theory-based research in which he data collection in order to reach the objectives was achieved through a bibliographic and documental research. In order to analyze the networks of the Board Interlocking, we used the Gephi software to draw the networks of interest and make the measurements of Modularity, Intermediation Centrality, Degree Centrality and Proximity Centrality. The results regarding the characteristics of the Board of Directors shows board members with notable professional careers and academic legitimacy, little feminine participation and boards composed mostly by family members. The results regarding the conformity of the Board of Directors with the good practices of Corporate Governance show that the size of the boards to be in accord to the legislation, CEOs/Vice-CEOs holding also the positions of Chariman/Vice-Chairman and once more the issue of family members with control of the board composition. Last, the results for Board Interlocking, one research showed that 80,9% of the board members of the analyzed companies were interlocked, meaning that they participated in ate least two different boards, connecting the sample to other 789 organizations. Of the 20 companies, only 2 (AES Tietê and AES Eletropaulo) connected directly through the Board Interlocking. Another analysis assessed the inter-board Board Interlocking in which 14 of the 20 assessed companies had two or more board members acting together in another 46 companies not listed At the Level 2 of the Corporate Governance of the B3. A third analysis showed that a subset of 42 companies not listed at the Level 2 of Corporate Governance of B3 (from the total of 789) which connect 18 companies listed at Level 2 of Corporate Governance (of the 20), with the exception of Celesc e and Gol. A network analysis was made using Gelphi, identifying 5 clusters; AES Eletropaulo, AES Tietê, Marcopolo and Renova had a higher degree centrality and intermediation; ABDIB, IBGC, AMEC, AES Tietê and AES Eletropaulo had higher proximity indicator. We also gathered data for the shareholder position of the 20 companies, in which 7 of them share investors. This network was drawn in tandem with the third analysis to verify which factors could complement the corporate relations. The Board Interlocking proved to be, therefore, a primordial factor to the network analysis, specially by the fact that the Board of Directors has several members that provide a myriad of connections. For future works, taking the shareholders position, underlying questions could also be analyzed in order to make clarify the corporate ties and the complexity of the networks made by them.

As many aspects of education, teaching botany may not be easy due to several factors and awakening the student's interest in learning about plants can be very difficult. In this work we aim to help the teacher with support material so that he can present some plants in a different way, through cooking, with practical experiences, and showing students the wide variety of unconventional food plants that exist. The material has information on conventional food plants (PAC) and unconventional food plants (PANC), with a focus on PANC, where it will be possible to learn where to find, how to identify, how to collect, what are the benefits in food, forms of cultivation and examples of consumption. Videos of very practical cooking recipes were produced, which the teacher can make together with the class or take ready-made so that the students have the opportunity to taste. This support material can be used when the teacher starts to teach Botany or after the students already have knowledge about basic concepts, in that case, the material would offer elements that reinforce the concepts and help to have greater contact with plants.

In the field of soft actuators, ionomeric polymer metal composite like devices (IPMCs) are a trend, as they display great displacement when a low electric potential is applied. Its work mechanism is related to the migration of solvated counterions inside the polymeric membrane, so the type of counterion plays a key role in the IPMC performance, while keeping the membrane hydrated limits the usage of IPMC's in dry environments. Ionic liquids (ILs) are used in IPMC to solve the dependence of the environment, but with the burden of poor mechanical performance. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the electrochemical, electromechanical and thermal properties of Nafion®/Pt-IPMC with different counterions (H+, Li+, Na+ and [BMIM]+) and to tune the concentration of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole chloride ([BMIM]Cl) with 0.1; 0.3 or 0.5 mol L-1, attaining electrochemical stability with better electromechanical performance independently of humidity level. [BMIM]Cl was successfully synthesized and characterized through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Infrared Spectroscopy with Fourier Transform and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). IPMC electrochemical behavior was studied through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, CV and Chronoamperometry, while the electromechanical properties were measured through blocking force and displacement, and mass loss with Thermogravimetric Analysis. IPMC-[BMIM]Cl tests were performed in distinct humidities (30%, 60% and 90%). Concentration of 0.3 mol L-1 provided electrochemical stability with the best electromechanical performance regardless of relative humidity. This result will be important for enhance the devices performance and efficiency.

This work presents a system that was developed to allow people with motor difficulties to remotely control the operation of devices that act on the well-being of the environment. Commands are entered into the system via a cellphone that communicates with a single- board computer, the Raspberry Pi, which receives user commands to turn it on or off. A temperature and humidity sensor are used to control the operating range of a heater and humidifier when turned on.

The Civil Construction Industry is characterized as a sector with a complex production flow. The diversity of stages, even in small projects, produces a large informational input that, based on the current model for organizing and managing project information - based on 2D - has the potential to generate divergences, omissions, duplications or project doubts that reflect in production stages. Besides the lack of integration and communication of the current structure that can drive delays, additional costs and production errors throughout the life cycle of a construction project. Therefore, Lean Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM) have the potential to solve some of the most recurrent problems in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) industry. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the main Lean Construction tools that contribute to the conduct of construction processes and can be catalyzed through the BIM methodology. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted in order to collect the main concepts and conclusions already existent on the proposed theme and a Case Study was analyzed in the execution phase of the Last Planner System (LPS) and prefabricated systems, and such implementations converge with the Lean Construction principles. From the RSL, it was possible to conclude that BIM can act as a Lean catalyst methodology due to its collaboration, coordination, facilitated communication, 3D visualisation and 4D simulation functionalities, improving the processes conduction and the product result. In this context, a BIM implementation proposal was carried out with the objective of catalyzing Lean Construction in the Case Study.

Deep Learning has achieved state-of-the-art results in several domains, such as image processing, natural language processing, and audio processing. To accomplish such results, it uses neural networks with several processing layers along with a massive amount of labeled information. One particular family of Deep Learning is the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which works using convolutional layers derived from the digital signal processing area, being very helpfull to detect relevant features in unstructured data, such as audio and pictures. One way to improve results on CNN is to use regularization algorithms, which aim to make the training process harder but generate models that generalize better for inference when use in applications. The present work contributes in the area of regularization methods for CNNs, proposing more methods for using in different image processing tasks. This thesis presents a collection of works developed by the author during the research period, which were published or submited until present time, presenting: (i) a survey, listing recent regularization works and highlighting the solutions and problems of the area; (ii) a neuron droping method to use in the tensors generated during CNNs training; (iii) a variation of the mentioned method, changing the droping rules, targeting different features of the tensor; and (iv) a label regularization algorithm used in different image processing problems.
