Currently there is a great motivation and need for advances in the understanding of the best operating conditions of industrial equipment. As far as glass production is concerned, one action field is the search for increasing the working life of the refractory lining of glass melting furnaces, directly associated with glass quality, process energy efficiency, cost and other factors. Electrofused AZS (Alumina-Zirconia-Silica) refractories are used for the lining of glass melting furnaces due to their corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, operating conditions can drastically alter the performance of this refractory, limiting the lifetime of the furnace. Computational simulations have proven to be a useful tool for analyses where in situ testing of the glass melting process is difficult and involves certain risk for experiments and validations. In view of this, the present study aimed to investigate AZS blocks with electrode support, which present a reduced lifetime due to cracking and intense erosion. With the software Abaqus, a thermomechanical analysis was carried out via finite element models (FEM) to determine the maximum principal stress in the block during the heating of the furnace. Which reached the rupture limit of the AZS block approximately 42 h after the start of furnace heating at 0.13 m from the hot face. Regarding the process parameters analyzed, the cooling system of the electrode had a positive effect only for its own life, reducing the oxidation of the material. The study of different thermal histories still did not prevent the crack initiation during the heating of the furnace. Changing the hole geometry affected the maximum principal stress field, and for this condition after 43 h the maximum principal stress reached the AZS modulus of rupture was 43 h. The critical point at which this maximum principal stress. In order to study the effects of material change in the thermomechanical simulations, thermodynamic studies were additionally carried out via FactSage, with the objective of analyzing the corrosion of different refractory compositions in contact with glass, to find out a potential composition to replace AZS. The results showed that zirconia-rich compositions present higher glass corrosion stability. Finally, a comparative thermomechanical analysis between AZS and commercial HZ (High Zirconia) was conducted via thermal and mechanical simulation.

This work proposes a methodological approach to the development of a didactic sequence as an Educational Curriculum Material, having the controversial theme - Eugenics, which presents itself as a Socio-scientific Question - QSC. This theme is developed through three fields of Education: the Curriculum, Relations for Ethnic-Racial Education and Teacher Training. The proposition of this didactic sequence aligned with educational design and this triangulation of fields, in addition to presenting itself as an educational innovation, presents itself as a proposal to evaluate its potentialities and limitations. In this way, the work consisted in the formulation of criteria that, after analysis, bring the perception that the didactic sequence can, with its potential, reach the presupposed objectives and that, due to its limitations, the formation of the teacher is significantly a preponderant factor for the its existence. Therefore, when developing, in the future, the application and evaluation of this didactic sequence, it will be possible to guide the production of an Educational Curriculum Material (ECM), which is a curricular material that is concerned with the formation of the teacher, with the promotion of education on socio-scientific issues (QSC's), and more specifically, on education for ethnic-racial relations in Science Teaching.

Breast cancer is currently the most incident among women around the world. Chemotherapy treatment can cause side effects associated with frailty. Frailty is characterized by a clinical condition of vulnerability and worsening of the condition when subjected to stressful factors. The general objective of the research was to identify factors associated with the fragility of women with breast cancer undergoing cancer treatment. It was a correlational, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach and the sociodemographic and clinical instruments, the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI), the Social Support Scale of the Medical Outcome Study (MOS-SSS), the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer were used. of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer of Life Questionnaire - Breast Cancer (EORTC-QLQ-BR23). Sixty-seven women with breast cancer who were undergoing cancer treatment were interviewed. To present the results, three articles were prepared, the first study aimed to verify the relationship between frailty and social support of women with breast cancer undergoing cancer treatment. The average age of the participants was 59.78 years, with 38.81% being frail and 61.19% non-frail. Frail patients had a worse perception of social support in all domains of the MOS-SSS scale. The physical domain of frailty was negatively correlated in all MOS-SSS domains, except for the material social support domain, whereas the psychological domain was negatively correlated with all MOS-SSS domains and in relation to the social domain, it was confirmed. There was a negative correlation with the emotional social support and information social support domains. The second article aimed to relate frailty with the perception of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Among the results, it was found that frail women had worse sleep quality, more falls, more pain and movement limitation and perceived changes in their lives after starting treatment. Frail women had a worse perception of HRQoL compared to non-frail women. In the third and final article, the factors associated with the fragility of women with breast cancer undergoing cancer treatment were verified. The factors that were significantly associated with the fragility of women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy, in a significant way, were: social support (OR:0.926) and the HRQoL domains, physical function (OR:0.948), performance of role (OR:0.966) and future perception (OR:0.980), these being protective variables. It was concluded that there was a relationship between frailty and the perception of social support and HRQoL, and frail women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy had a worse perception of social support and HRQoL. Social support and some dimensions of HRQoL (physical function, role performance and future perception) were jointly associated with frailty, which are protective factors for the frailty of women with breast cancer undergoing cancer treatment.

Loricariidae includes species vulgarly known as armored catfishes. Cytogenetic data revealed wide chromosomal diversity in this family, resulted from both diploid number (2n) variation, because of centric fusion events, and structural chromosomal rearrangements, such as inversions, centromeric repositioning and translocations. The chromosomal rearrangements found in Loricariidae are associated with double strand DNA breaks at sites rich in repetitive sequences. The instability present in these regions is described as “evolutionary breakpoint regions” (EBRs), which are considered hotspots for chromosomal rearrangements, and would be involved with the 2n reduction in the group. However, there are still few studies that sought to characterize the unstable chromosomal sites that generate karyotypic evolution in Loricariidae. Previous studies with Rineloricaria showed that these sites were located in rDNAs clusters, or at adjacent areas. Thus, this work aimed to identify and characterize the DNA sequences present in sites prone to chromosomal breaks, aiming to understand the molecular mechanism of chromosomal rearrangements and karyotypic diversity present in Loricariidae specimens. In the present study, we analyzed 95 specimens belonging to two subfamilies: Hypostominae (Ancistrus aguaboensis 2n = 50; Ancistrus cf. multispinis 2n = 52) and Loricariinae (Rineloricaria latirostris 2n = 46 and 48; Rineloricaria pentamaculata 2n = 54, 55 and 56), collected in different hydrographic basins in the South, Southeast and Central west of Brazil. Classical and molecular cytogenetic techniques were used, such as comparative in situ hybridization of 5S and 18S ribosomal genes (rDNA), telomeric sequence (TTAGGG)n, single repeat sequences ((A)30, (CA)15, (GA)15, (CAT)10 and (CGG)10), in addition to the analysis of genomic data provided by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). The results obtained revealed that Ancistrus cf. multispinis (2n = 52 chromosomes) presents a karyotype considered basal for Ancistrini, while A. aguaboensis has 2n = 50 (first karyotypic description), resulting from Robertsonian fusion (Rb) events, triggered by double strand breaks and rearrangements at sites of rDNA 5S, corroborating previously data found in other species of the group. For R. latirostris, we obtained the repetitive fraction for the recognition of microsatellite sequences present in regions previously described as chromosomal fusion points. It was found that repetitive sequences such as rDNAs, hAT transposon, and microsatellite units are present in flanking regions of chromosome breakage sites in R. latirostris, and because they contain sites of paralogous sequences present in non-homologous chromosomes, these sequences may have acted as facilitators of Rb fusion events present in this group. Furthermore, the involvement of acrocentric chromosomes in Rb fusion events was discussed, with the participation of 5S rDNA and microsatellites, which culminated in the emergence of a numerical chromosomal polymorphism observed in specimens of R. pentamaculata from the Barra Grande River (2n = 54 to 56). The data presented for Rineloricaria corroborate studies that suggested that the 2n reduction is resulted from Rb fusion, with the decrease of subtelo/acrocentric chromosomes and the consequent formation of metacentric chromosomes, with or without ITS vestiges. In summary, it was demonstrated the accumulation of repetitive DNAs present in regions of chromosomal breaks and their potential involvement with the extensive chromosomes observed in Loricariidae, impacting the diversity and karyotypic evolution of the group.

Bibliographic classification systems play a very important role in organizing works in the collection, as well as retrieving information from databases. Considering that obtaining privileged information in the context of the financial market provides a competitive advantage, the question is whether Class 332 dedicated to Financial Economics covers the financial market subject in its scope and detail? Therefore, the general objective of this research is to put the expansion of the representation of the financial market in the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). This is an exploratory and descriptive study, which has an applied nature and a qualitative approach. Therefore, a bibliographic research was carried out to analyze the literature on the subject, as well as to identify the terms used in the financial market. Furthermore, it was based on the methodology of Barité Roqueta (1990) to develop the proposal to modify the classification scheme. As a result, it is possible to insert about fifty terms, which were organized by expanding six existing subclasses and creating seven other subclasses. It is concluded that the proposal can contribute to the organization of knowledge about the financial market, as well as meet the informational needs of users.

Freshwater fishes are fundamental components of biodiversity, and it is necessary to develop actions aimed at conserving these species in the face of anthropic changes in the XXI century. In this sense, it is fundamental to understand the mechanisms underlying the composition and distribution of these species along environmental gradients, applying different measures of diversity for this purpose. Alpha diversity represents the species richness in a given location, while beta diversity is a measure of species dissimilarity along environmental gradients, which includes two contrasting components of community structuring: species replacement and richness difference. Thus, alpha and beta diversities are part of regional species diversity, or gamma diversity. This study aimed to understand the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of the ichthyofauna of the Upper and Middle Paranapanema River. Presented as a book chapter, Chapter I includes a review of the ichthyofauna of rivers, streams, and reservoirs in the Upper and Middle Paranapanema River. In this sense, 128 species were recorded in these environments, with greater representation from the Characidae and Loricariidae families. The highest species richness and the lowest proportion of autochthonous species from the Upper Paraná River (83%) were found in reservoirs, with 20 species recorded only in these environments. The headwater streams have the lowest richness and the highest proportion of autochthonous species, being essential for the conservation of endemic species and species that are exclusive to this type of environment. Then, Chapter II investigates different measures of diversity for two spatial scales in the Paranapanema River: the Alto Paranapanema basin and the Pinhal sub-basin, for taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity. The values of total alpha and beta diversity, as well as the values of the substitution and richness difference components of beta diversity were estimated. Next, the relationship of taxonomic beta diversity to the environment was analyzed, and the contribution of local, spatial, and stream-surrounding effects to the dissimilarity were divided. The gamma diversity and the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic alpha and beta diversities were higher for the Alto Paranapanema basin compared to the Pinhal sub-basin. Furthermore, the replacement component was greater than the richness difference for the taxonomic beta diversity in the two spatial scales. The effect of the surrounding area was the most significant finding to explain the compositional dissimilarity for the basin, while the geographic distance was the most important result to explain the total beta diversity for the sub-basin. The general findings show the importance of using different scales in the study of stream fish diversity, as well as the relevance of headwater streams in order to preserve the diversity of ichthyofauna at a river basin scale.

The research emerges from the encounter of case reports involving discrimination and harassment directed at Brazilian women in Portuguese universities with my experiences as a university student in Portugal. The intentionality is to unveil the phenomenon “what is it to be a Brazilian scientist in a Portuguese university”. Therefore, the phenomenological interrogation guiding the research is “What is it to be a Brazilian woman in a Portuguese university?”. The theoretical foundations chosen to construct this research were the coloniality of power/being/knowledge, feminist theory, especially decolonial feminism, and gender studies in Social Studies of Science. The methodological procedures are inspired by phenomenology as a philosophical method, specifically in the approach of the Situated Phenomenon. Socializations were conducted with the research participants and registered in a field diary, followed by interviews with the intention of giving voice to those who experience the phenomenon to be unveiled. The profile of the participants is composed of Brazilian women in academic activity in Portuguese universities at the postgraduate level, and exclusion criteria were not adopted. Altogether, ten interviews were carried out, transcribed, and analysed according to the indications of the Situated Phenomenon approach. In other words, from reading the transcription of the interviews, establishing, and grouping units of meaning and constructing a nomothetic matrix containing the identification of units of meaning in their convergences and divergences grouped in each thematic category. Three categories emerged from this process: A) The centre of knowledge; B) Colonial violence in all its aspects; C) Confrontations. Based on these categories, the speeches and the dialogue with the theoretical foundations were presented, enabling the understanding of the aspects of the phenomenon studied. The categories revealed a scenario richly marked by the colonialities of power, being and knowledge, in which various mechanisms of maintenance of power structures are present: the racialization and hypersexualization of Brazilian women's bodies, the distancing of women from science in the name of traditionalism/conservatism by patriarchy, the delegitimization of knowledge from the global South and the contradictory appropriation of it in search of prestige, in addition to various types of violence such as racism, xenophobia, sexism and discrimination against queer people. We learned from the participants that in addition to dealing with the “common” aspects of academic life, being a Brazilian female researcher in Portugal is also fighting against stereotypes, linguistic prejudice, epistemicide, transphobia, racism and other forms of violence. This thesis comprises a denunciation text of the condition of Brazilian women scientists in Portugal.

Pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon and, therefore, its evolution occurs without complications in most pregnant women. However, there is a group of women who, based on conditions such as some individual characteristics, sociodemographic conditions, previous reproductive history, clinical conditions prior to pregnancy, may indicate a higher risk of developing pathologies with a potential for unfavorable outcomes. This group of women is called high-risk pregnant women. When diagnosed, they are indicated for concomitant follow-up in high-risk prenatal services. Being in the situation of a high-risk pregnant woman tends to converge the woman and her family towards a fragmented biomedical assistance approach, which gives little value to subjective, emotional, and relational aspects. This exclusively technical and biomedical approach misses the chances of weaving care in its broadest sense, excluding singularities and preventing the establishment of a person-to-person relationship. The general objective of this study was to analyze prenatal care for high-risk pregnant women developed by nurses on home visits based on Joyce Travelbee's nursing theory. The specific objectives were to discuss aspects of the visiting nurse's relationship with the high-risk pregnant women towards autonomy and discuss the incorporation of home visitation by nurses in high-risk prenatal care. A qualitative, field study was proposed, with an interventionist character, under the methodological strategy of the case study. The case was the relationship between nurse and high-risk pregnant woman in the home visit and care. The development of the home visits took place from March 2018 to March 2020, in a city in the interior of São Paulo, when 17 women and high-risk pregnant women were visited by nurses every two weeks. To study and report the cases, the full transcription of the audio recordings of the home visits developed and of the field notes of the visiting and researcher nurses was carried out. The seventeen cases are presented individually, with visibility of the phases proposed by Joyce Travelbee and the needs explored in the person-to-person relationship. The analysis of the cases allowed us to identify that the person-to-person relationship was central and essential for the fabric of care, when the attentive, sensitive, and attentive attitude and the appreciation of the relationship supported and enabled the particularities of these high-risk pregnant women to manifest themselves and be welcomed. The meeting of the sense and significance of the situation of being a high-risk pregnant woman and the circumscribed mothering was always, in some way, launched in the relationship and effected a counterpoint to the insufficiencies experienced in high-risk prenatal care, anchored in the biomedical model they had received until then. It is concluded that producing care guided and driven by the person-to-person theory has the potential to transform the scope of prenatal care, with the potential to transform gestational and delivery outcomes. Still, the person-to-person relationship naturally promotes therapeutic encounters and responsibility in nursing and health care. Furthermore, Joyce Travelbee's reference is indicated as an anchor for home visits, as is the signalization of the importance of nursing theories being guaranteed in professional training, with opportunities for these professionals to be exposed to ways of understanding the metaparadigms of nursing. In any case, the care of the visiting nurses based on the person-to-person relationship in this study is seen as a care practice that has the potential to reconstruct the organizational scenario of interactions in the health field, especially in the experience of women who experience high-risk prenatal care. This is because the person-to-person theory has the potential to serve as a conceptual and practical model, subsidizing new care productions, valuing care centered on the person and the family, with the potential to accommodate the needs revealed in the meetings.

Gas atomization is the main method to produce metal powders for LASER powder bed fusion (L-PBF), which is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique. It produces metallic powders with suitable characteristics to be applied in AM/L-PBF. The optimization of the parameters involved in the gas atomization process is necessary to produce powders with good fluidity and high apparent density, which are preconditions to be used in the L-PBF. The choice of an optimal set of parameters can also provide an increase in powder production yield. However, the optimization of this process is complex, because there are many parameters involved and, therefore, a systematic study must be carried out to better understand their correlation with the powder’s characteristics and their application (e.g. MA/L-PBF, for that research). Based on this context, this work aimed to study the influence of the three main process parameters at two levels (nozzle diameter (𝑑0): 1.5-2.5 mm; superheating temperature (Δ𝑇): 75-150 ºC; atomization pressure (𝑃𝐺): 20-40 Bar) on the physical characteristics of AA2017 aluminum alloy powders. It was identified that the average particle size (𝑑50) was poorly affected by the variation of parameters, while the width of the particle size distribution curve was significantly altered. The more suitable powder to be applied in AM/L-PBF was produced in an experiment with a specific set of parameters (𝑑0=1.5mm; Δ𝑇 =150 ºC; 𝑃𝐺= 20 Bar). It presents appropriate fluidity (funnel of Carney) and suitable apparent density: 0.28 s/g and 1.51 ± 0.02 g/cm3, respectively. These behaviors occurred due to an optimal combination of granulometric distribution and morphology. Finally, mathematical analysis was performed, in which the results obtained experimentally were compared with theoretical calculations based on the Lubanska equation. A good correlation was observed between the measured and calculated mean particle size (R2 = 0.97).

O Brasil possui uma rica variedade de alimentos regionais que fazem parte da biodiversidade amazônica, tais como o açaí, cupuaçu, pupunha, buriti e castanhas. Além de contribuírem para a segurança alimentar, eles podem trazer inúmeros benefícios para a saúde e para a economia local. Este estudo tem o objetivo de descrever o consumo desses alimentos no município de Mâncio Lima, Acre, e avaliar quais são as variáveis individuais, domiciliares, socioeconômicas e alimentares relacionadas a esse consumo. Foram entrevistadas 824 pessoas moradoras da área urbana de Mâncio Lima, com mais de 17 anos de idade, entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2012. Os resultados mostraram que o açaí foi o alimento mais consumido e os fatores associados a essa ingesta foram consumir frutas, verduras e feijão mais de 5 vezes na semana. O consumo de cupuaçu teve associação com consumo de frutas e doces acima de 5 vezes na semana e com episódios pregressos de malária vivax. Para a castanha, houve associação com sexo feminino, dormir em áreas onde foi efetuado desmatamento, ter calçada de cimento ou tijolo em frente à casa, produzir frutas para consumo próprio e consumir feijão mais de 5 vezes na semana. O consumo de pupunha esteve associado a trabalhar em atividades de desmatamento, à produção de frutas para consumo próprio e a maior idade. Para o buriti, houve associação com já ter tido malária falciparum, consumir frutas pelo menos 5 vezes na semana, maior idade e a presença de insegurança alimentar moderada ou grave.

Studies have pointed to an emerging demand for psychosocial problems in the university environment, such as common mental disorders (CMD), which can be generated by a change in educational environment – from high school to higher education. Research also shows that entering university is a critical phase of students’ lives, as it requires an occupational and social adaptation to respond to institutional and rules requirements. When performance the role of student, many internal (personal) and external (environmental) factors may interfere with competence and occupational participation, in order to provide satisfaction and promote health or trigger suffering. In this sense, occupation, as a contextualized action, becomes a determining element of health. The aim was to identify the relation between health (CMD and quality of life) and occupation (competence and occupational interest) of university students, in the areas of health and exact, of a Brazilian public university, in the context of pandemic of Covid-19. This is a cross-sectional and correlation study, conducted from May to September 2020, with a sample of 493 students, who answered an electronic questionnaire on sociodemographic variables, the Occupational Self Assessment (OSA) Brazil and the Self Reporting Questionnaire - 20 (SRQ - 20). Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses were performed using the Statiscal Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 21.0. The results showed that the prevalence of CMD among students was 66.1%, with predictors related to being female (p<0.001) and being from some exact science course (p=0.050). The students judged their quality of life good (54%) and were dissatisfied with their own health (35.5%). Regression analysis showed significantly negative associations for CMD (p<0.001) and postive associations for occupational competence (p<0.001), with all domains of quality of life. Occupational competence presented as significantly negative predictors the semester of the course (p=0.005) and the presence of CMD (p<0.001). The occupational interest scale presented the semester of the course as a significantly positive predictor (p=0.005). This study showed that being in psychological distress may affect the quality of life and occupational competence of university students, reflecting on the performance of daily occupations. Therefore, it is important to outline proposals for prevention and promotion actions focused on student care. Above all, promote support service policies that effectively discuss sustainable support networks and create strategies for mental health care that integrate health, social and occupational determinants, prioritizing student life and the academic community.

This study assesses the effects of the containment policies and international trade policy notifications related to the novel Coronavirus pandemic on the trade flows of 33 countries from January 2020 to June 2021. COVID-19 essential products such as medical equipment, medical supplies, personal protective equipment, and pharmaceuticals are considered in the analysis. Non-essential products such as agricultural products, among others, are also considered. The gravity model of trade is used to assess the effects of containment policies and international trade policies, which are represented by days of the month when Stay-at-home orders and Workplace Closures were imposed, the number of cases and deaths and COVID-19 trade-related notifications sent to the WTO. Our results suggest that an essential part of the policy response to the pandemic of COVID-19 lies in trade policy changes. Furthermore, these policies focused on the critical products to fight against COVID-19. The aggregated empirical gravity model showed insignificant estimates for stay-at-home requirements, workplace closures, cases, and deaths, indicating they might not be sufficient to explain the fluctuations in trade flows. On the other hand, the estimates presented by trade policies suggest that these variables can better explain trade fluctuations. The gravity model is performed disaggregated across product categories to assess the effects of different policies on different product categories. Overall, the results of the estimates of the containment policies, cases, and deaths variables seem to work as proxies for the rise in demand for goods, but their coefficients are not always statistically significant. The product disaggregated regression results reflect the demand increase for specific products. Thus the categories suffered different impacts. Pharmaceuticals presented a rise in trade volume between 2020 and 2021 and were also the category most impacted by trade policies during the pandemic. Export licenses, technical barriers to trade, and tariff policies significantly impacted the trade flows of pharmaceuticals. When importers applied these policies, the signs of the estimates resulted as positive, on the other hand, when used by exporters, the signs of the estimates are negative. It is an example of the disorderly and self-centered manner in which countries sought to secure their stock of essential goods by implementing policies that presented obstacles to exports and concomitantly sought to facilitate the importation of goods. The results for medical products not elsewhere specified and personal protection products reinforce this notion since export bans and tariff policies negatively affected trade flows for these categories. Finally, it is noted that countries have collectively sought to facilitate the flow of agricultural products by seeking to ease customs practices and export bans.

The phenomenon of "insubordination" (EVANS, 2007) is defined as the use of constructions that have some degree of subordination but are used independently without being subordinated to a main clause. Thus, the main objective of this work is to provide an intonational analysis from a constructional perspective (LANGACKER, 2008; TRAUGOTT; TROUSDALE, 2013) of conditional insubordinate constructions headed by "se" with adversative value in Brazilian Portuguese. Therefore, the adversative meaning of these constructions is understood as the result of the correlation of formal and functional properties, including the intonational aspect. Although Constructions Grammars defend the independence of linguistic levels, prosody is little considered both in research based on this approach and in studies of insubordinate constructions. In this dissertation, on the other hand, the intonation of these constructions is described, starting from an ad hoc corpora consisting of insubordinate adversative conditional constructions and conditional protases of the same lexical structure. The analyzes showed that the insubordinate adversative conditional constructions do not have a homogeneous intonation pattern. However, the identified intonation patterns indicate a prosodic function of prominence that proves the contrastive meaning of these constructions and distinguishes them from other types of insubordinate constructions (HIRATA-VALE, 2015; SILVESTRE, 2017). By comparing insubordinate adversative conditional constructions and subordinating conditional protases, it was proved that in these cases intonation acts as the only distinguishing feature between these two types of constructions. In a synchronic perspective, the insubordinate adversative conditional constructions were also subjected to a constructional description, according to the parameters of compositionality, productivity, and generality/schematicity (LANGACKER, 2008; TRAUGOTT; TROUSDALE, 2013), in order to understand the formal and functional specificities of these structures. For this purpose, a data corpus was created from two corpora, the Corpus do Português (Cdp), available online, and the C-Oral (RASO; MELLO, 2012), and the morphosyntactic and semantic-pragmatic description carried out by Alves and Hirata-Vale (2020, 2021) on these structures was also adopted. As a result, these constructions were less compositional, since the adversative meaning is mapped by the correlation of the subparts of these constructions; they are partially schematic, since they have a part that needs to be filled in and another part that is fixed; and finally, they are productive, through the expansion of their subschemata. The purpose of this study, then, is to show the contributions that arise from the inclusion of the prosodic level in studies of a cognitive-functional nature, and to introduce this type of analysis of conditional insubordinate constructions with adversative value in Brazilian Portuguese.

Considering the importance of combating racial inequalities by librarians, the question is how are racial issues guided in the actions and political agendas of the country's Regional Councils of Librarianship in favor of an anti-racist professional performance? In this sense, we seek to analyze in the Strategic Plans of the CRB-8 proposals that favor and contribute to an anti-racist professional performance on the part of the librarian, in order to identify the degree of commitment of these managements to a more politicized, egalitarian and diverse Librarianship, having scope of racial issues. Therefore, it conducts an exploratory and descriptive research, through bibliographic research and survey, analyzing the Strategic Plans of the last ten years of the CRB-8. As a result, it appears that the actions and political agendas of the CRB-8 in favor of an anti-racist professional performance are limited and are not explicitly presented in the respective documents. It is concluded that the theme needs greater involvement on the part of the CRB-8, making it opportune to conduct broader studies that observe how these actions are inserted in the other Councils in Brazil.

Frailty models have been developed to quantify both heterogeneity as well as association in multivariate time-to-event data. The frailty distributions used in many studies include the gamma, inverse Gaussian (IG) or stable positive (SP) distributions. These distributions are usually chosen due to analytical and computational simplicity or due to some attractive property of the model. The choice of the frailty distribution is of fundamental importance in order to arrive at a good description of the dependence structure present in the data. An alternative to the problem of choosing the frailty model would be to choose only one family of frailty distributions and use it as a general model. In this work, we studied bivariate survival data with a semicompetiting risk structure (FINE; JIANG; CHAPPELL, 2001), and long-term bivariate data. In order to incorporate a dependence structure between the times of events, we propose the family of distributions Power variance function (PVF) as a shared frailty model which includes the above mentioned distributions. Data with a semicompeting risk structure arises as a variant of the competing risk structure. In the semicompeting risk framework, usually, two events are considered, namely, a terminal and a non-terminal. The terminal event censors the non-terminal event, but not vice versa. Generally, the two events are correlated. So the dependence between the terminal and non-terminal failure time is incorporated through the PVF shared frailty between the conditional transition rates of the illness-death model (XU; KALBFLEISCH; TAI, 2010), that is equivalent to a semicompeting risks problem. For long-term bivariate data, which are characterized by having a fraction of individuals non-susceptible to the event of interest after a long time, were considered situations in which there are two types of unobservable causes, where each cause is related to occurrence times of an event of interest. To model the dependence between the two times we introduce a PVF frailty variable. For both models, a simulation study is presented to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood method in the parameters estimation. Finally, colon cancer data are used in the application of the model with a semicompeting risk structure and Brazilian customer churn data in a financial institution are used in the application of the long-term models.

The rapid growth of the elderly population and the consequent challenges in the cities constitute an alarming scenario. In this sense, the problems involving interpersonal relationships and socio-spatial inequalities that impact the achievement of elderly-friendly places are intensified. In attention to the current situation, the World Health Organization has developed the Global Guide to Age-friendly Cities (GGCAI), which recommend practices based on eight domains that seek to constitute an environment that favors population aging. Thus, the present research aimed to analyze the interactions and integration of elderly residents in the region of the historical nucleus of the Vila Nery neighborhood in the city of São Carlos - SP. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive research, based on the assumptions of the quanti-qualitative method, with an exploratory observational work. By employing the precepts of the rapid estimation technique, five key-informants inserted in services with tradition in the neighborhood were interviewed, considered fundamental parameters for obtaining data, such as: affective experiences, information about characteristics of the services offered, as well as problems and needs for improvements in the place of study, which contribute to the achievement of adequate housing. The analysis of the historical nucleus of Vila Nery, in the light of the eight domains recommended by the GGCAI, supports the understanding that the place presents characteristics of an elderly-friendly place. It was found that the elderly preserves good interpersonal relationships, in addition to a strong sense of belonging to their place of residence. Also, the culture and education of the neighborhood, combined with good communication, favor coexistence and social participation, and the spirit of unity and commitment inherent in the neighborhood contribute to the socio-spatial inclusion of older residents, which emphasizes the importance of the infrastructure and equipment available to the community. The results obtained reveal that aspects such as adequate housing and good social interaction have a direct influence on the quality of life of the elderly, directly impacting on their independence and enjoyment of life in society.

During the transition to parenthood - the period between pregnancy and the baby’s first months of life - levels of depression, anxiety and marital conflict increase substantially, with negative results for all family members. This points to the importance of developing preventive programs. The overall objective of this study was to adapt, offer, and evaluate the effectiveness of the Family Foundations intervention program, focused on improving the coparenting relationship of couples during the transition to parenthood. The intervention is conducted in two phases, the prenatal phase, when the parents are still expecting their first child, and the postnatal phase, which begins when the baby is around three to six months old. In Study I, the 12 steps of the adaptation of the Family Foundations program are reported, to develop the Brazilian version of this program, called Famílias Fortalecidas. Strong evidence was found for the acceptability of the program. The other studies (II, III and IV) involve parts of the adaptation process. In Study II, to identify behaviors considered to be part of the coparenting relationship, a systematic review of the national and international literature on observational methods being used to evaluate coparenting was conducted, following the PRISMA methodological recommendations. Coparenting behaviors were evaluated in the prenatal period and with parents of children in various age groups. The components of the three most cited models of coparenting were sufficient for encompassing all the coparenting behaviors identified in these studies. In Study III, the aim was to identify coparenting skills used by Brazilian parents in their coparenting relationship. The participants were 31 fathers and mothers, 18 years of age or over, with a first child six years of age or under. A semi-structured interview script was used to ask about coparenting tasks, and the strategies used in this relationship. The transcripts were analyzed, using content analysis techniques, and the following categories were identified: (a) communication skills -- giving recognition or praise; (b) joint decision-making and conflict resolution skills: asking each other’s opinions before making a decision, and (c) bonding skills: expressing positive emotions, sharing positive experiences and enjoyment of child-related happenings using verbal expressions and non-verbal behaviors (such as smiling and exchanging glances). Finally, in Study IV, the objective was to analyze the effects of a brief, coparenting intervention program. This study had a quasi-experimental design, with an Intervention Group (n=24 couples) and a Comparison Group (n=14 couples). Participants included couples that were married or living together, expecting their first child together. The instruments used before and after the program, to evaluate the effects of the program were: the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (EAD), the Marital Social Skills Inventory (IHSC), the Conflict Tactics Scale (ETC), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and the Parental Educational Competence Self-Assessment Questionnaire (QACEP). Four additional instruments were included in the post-test: the Coparental Relationship Scale (ERC), the Perceived Stress Scale, the Parental Burnout Assessment – BR, and the Child Temperament Questionnaire. The program was effective in improving the coparenting relationship and in reducing negative impacts on the marital relationship of couples participating in the Intervention Group, compared to those in the Comparison Group. As study limitations, the children may have been too young to observe effects of the program on participants’ perceptions of parental competence and on symptoms of depression. In addition, the greater drop-out rate in the Comparison Group (44%) than in the Intervention Group (20%) reduced the power of the analyses, affecting the possibility of obtaining results with statistical significance. However, the effect size of the differences indicate the importance of the program. To establish more robust evidence, in future studies it will be important to increase the number of couples in the Intervention and the Comparison Groups, and to monitor couples to assess the medium and long-term effects of the program, using additional measures of parenting and child behavior.

This thesis studies the theoretical-methodological conceptions of teaching in the Pedagogy of Alternating Cycle and its unfoldings in the technical and professional formation of rural students, based on the reality of the Escola Família Agrícola do Sertão-EFASE. The entire investigation was guided by the following problem: to what extent does the technical course in agriculture and cattle-raising at EFASE, organized in a regime of Alternating Cycle, contribute to the process of human development of rural students, aiming at their emancipation, in opposition to the forms of education for alienated labor, the predominant perspective in technical education courses? The study starts by defending the access to scientific knowledge, historically produced and systematized by humankind, as an essential task of professional education in the countryside. We observe that in the Agricultural Family Schools (EFAs) that adopt this teaching method, education is based on the Christian humanist thought of Emmanuel Mounier, on the theoretical-philosophical foundations of Piagetian constructivism and the pedagogical theory of the New School of John Dewey, a current linked to the perspective of hegemonic education of the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC). Thus, the objective of this research is to discuss the theoretical-philosophical and methodological conceptions of EFASE's Technical High School Course in Agriculture and Livestock Raising, and its contributions to the human development of students from the countryside of the Sisal Territory, in the hinterland of Bahia. To do so, research and study of theoretical and bibliographical references were carried out; document analysis; field work; and listening to the course's graduates, who completed the course between 2009 and 2019. The method adopted as a reference for this investigation is the dialectical historical materialism, for making it possible to understand the world beyond appearances. It is concluded that, although its intention is counter hegemonic, EFASE's theoretical-methodological proposal has a pragmatic, utilitarian educational tendency with little emphasis on classical scientific knowledge. By prioritizing the development of practical skills in the specific areas of the Course, to the detriment of classical scientific knowledge (general academic knowledge), the school indirectly enables the same MEC proposal of pragmatic education, as advocated by international organizations for the education of underdeveloped countries. On the other hand, it is affirmed that the didactic-pedagogical model of the Pedagogy of Alternating Cycle presents itself as a form of education that can be re-signified, based on dialectical historical materialism, due to its proven efficiency in relation to the social practice of the students and their communities.
