Forensic entomology, a field of study that uses ecological, taxonomic, and biological knowledge of insects related to the decomposition of corpses to help in criminal investigations, has been consolidating itself as a very efficient technique, being used both in the calculation of the Postmortem Interval (PMI), as well as contributing to the estimate of geographic location in which the fact investigated took place. Due to the great abundance and diversity of insects and their wide geographic distribution, studies about the life cycle, taxonomy, ecological aspects, and interactions become indispensable for the forensic entomology area, associated with the judicial parts, to be used as a tool each time, most useful in solving crimes and investigations. In this work, we studied the interaction among parasitoid microhymenoptera: Nasonia vitripennis, Pachycrepoideus vindemiae, Spalangia endius, and species of the Diapriidae family and four species of host dipterans belonging to cadaveric entomofauna: Chrysomya albiceps, Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya putoria, Cochliomyia macellaria, and Lucilia sericata, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the relationships established between parasitoid insects and dipterans of forensic importance, which are commonly used in forensic investigations, as well as to evaluate the potential of the studied parasitoid species use as forensic indicators.

The schooling of students with disabilities is a recurring subject of research and over time the discussion followed the political, social and economic changes around the theme. Thus, by understanding the schooling of students with disabilities as a right, this investigation took as its object of study the training of high school teachers. Guided by this perspective, the general objective of the research was to elaborate, develop, and evaluate a training program for high school teachers in the perspective of the right to schooling of people with disabilities. And as specific objectives: a) Characterize the professional profile of teachers who work in high school; b) Identify themes related to the perspective of the right to schooling of students with disabilities of interest to teachers; c) Enable continued training from the perspective of the right to schooling for students with disabilities; d) To analyze teachers' conceptions and strategies regarding the schooling of students with disabilities. The adopted research had a qualitative approach. Data analysis was based on the praxiological knowledge of Pierre Bourdieu with the definition of thematic axes of analysis. Twelve teachers who work in high school participated in the investigation. The locus of the research was a public high school located in the Mesoregion of Marajó in Pará. From the application of the questionnaire and the survey of themes related to the schooling of students with disabilities, it was possible to build the continuing education program that was carried out in its entirety at a distance. The program took place on the Moodle platform, with synchronous meetings through Google Meet. The meetings were recorded and later transcribed. The data made it possible to build the socioeconomic profile of the participants and the habitus of the social agents. The analysis of the participants' statements was organized based on three thematic axes: average model of disability, invisibility and collaborative work. Through this procedure, it was possible to understand the habitus about the schooling of students with disabilities and, in the light of praxiological knowledge, point out the tendency to maintain the social order of favoring the favored and disfavoring the disadvantaged.

In this work, the effect of different kneading blocks on the dispersive and distributive mixing levels of a diluted PS/PA6 mixture along the screw profile of a twin-screw extruder was investigated via online monitoring of optical properties. Complementarily, were studied the rheo-optical characteristics of the matrix (PS), as well as the effect of shearing on the non-isothermal crystallization of the dispersed phase (PA6), in pure state and in a PP/PA6 mixture, conducted on a CSS450 hot shear system of a light polarized optical microscope (MOLP). Off line thermal and rheological measurements were also performed. In the extrusion, measurements were conducted in transient state, with the addition of a tracer and the transmitted light intensity collected and quantified in terms of turbidity and birefringence. Three different screw configurations were studied. The influence of different screw rotation speeds and barrel temperature on the mixture was also investigated. Rheological measurements indicated viscosity ratios between the polymers unfavorable to the breakage of the second phase droplets. MOLP analyzes indicated that higher shear rates increase PA6 crystallization and change the phase morphology from spherical to elongated, even at moderate rates of 10 s-1, in addition, PS birefringence increased with increasing shear rate and thermal reduction. Higher PA6 content in PS reduced the birefringence, as the polymers have polarizability with opposite signs. Extruder analyzes showed better levels of dispersive and distributive mixing for kneading elements with angles of 90° between their disks in relation to kneading elements with angles of 45° between their disks at the evaluated temperatures and screw speeds. The thickness of the 45° disks had no effect on mix levels.

The development of deaf students is directly linked to their mastery of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). However, the child does not always find in his family environment a context that favors his dialogical exchanges with interlocutors who use Libras. It is expected, therefore, that the school is the propitious environment for this interaction to take place in a language accessible to the student. However, in many cases, the school prioritizes its tradition of offering content learning in written form, which is a practice that does not favor the development of Libras and the acquisition of curricular content for the deaf. In this sense, it is essential to the teaching work a linguistic knowledge that allows the effective evaluation of the students' expression in Libras for planning the educational paths to be followed. Thus, this research aimed to understand the perceptions of a bilingual teacher of basic education about the Instrument for Assessing Expression in Sign Language: Libras (IAELS – Libras) through her evaluation of narratives in Libras, regarding the level of language development and acquisition. It is characterized as an exploratory case study, in which the data were analyzed qualitatively. The instrument used was created by researchers from the University of Barcelona and the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and contributes to an effective evaluation of narratives in Libras, provoking a broader understanding of the use of the language at school, in the teaching of educators and in student development. The results point to reflections on the use of the instrument in teaching work and its potential formative character in the linguistic aspects of Libras.

The present research consists of two studies, each with a systematic review and an experimental study. Both experimental studies were conducted remotely and investigated, using different procedures, remembering and precurrent behaviors. Study 1A aimed to identify and report studies that used delayed matching to sample (DMTS) to investigate the remembering behavior of participants with intellectual disabilities and autism. We identified 377 studies, three of which were selected for analysis. In all three studies, participants' performance decreased due to increased delay, especially for participants with developmental delay. Study 1B aimed to verify whether different delays on conditional, identity and arbitrary discrimination tasks affected participants with intellectual disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder, and to assess whether the contingencies of tips for engagement in precurrent behaviors (when necessary) affected performance in the proposed tasks. Three young people with intellectual disabilities (aged 18 to 25 years old) participated and four children with ASD (aged six to 11). The DMT procedure was used with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8-second delays. If the participant performed less than 80% in test conditions (delays), contingencies of tips to favor engagement in precurrent behaviors were scheduled. The results expand the current literature by demonstrating that participants' performance has decreased due to increased delay, especially for participants with intellectual disabilities; and advance the findings on precurrent behaviors as important predictors for the behavior of remembering. Study 2A aimed to identify studies that proposed the investigation and/or teaching of precurrent behaviors in gaming. The results confirmed our initial hypothesis that there would be few studies that investigated and/or taught precurrent behaviors in gaming. This indicates a need for further investigations on teaching precurrent behaviors for problem solving in games, and the generalization of this behavior to other contexts. Study 2B investigated the effect of the Point-of-View Video Modeling (POVM) procedure on participants' performance in the Simon electronic game and evaluating the maintenance of performance and generalization to other games (visual memory puzzle, Ice Cream Memory and Japanese food game), all online. Nine participants with disabilities participated, six of which had been through study 1B. The teaching session began with the presentation of the video, in which the researcher played Simon and showed some game strategies. Next, the participant was exposed to the game. The learning criterion was the presentation of nine color sequences in Simon. The results showed that the performance ranged from 0 to 12 correct responses in the color sequence between participants, and, generally, with improvement in performance after the teaching steps. The results showed performance maintenance after 15 days and generalization to other games for the two participants who went through this stage. Together, the results of the studies show the relevance of contingency planning to teach problem solving, as well as of precurrents in remembering.

The evolution of engineering and maintenance has transformed the industry,requiring greater quality and productive capacity from organizations. In this context, the availability of the assets, associated to the operational and equipments risks, becomes a strategic point to maintain the company’s permanence in the market. Reliability centered maintenance (MCC) is a methodology that focuses on ensuring the safety and realibility of those equipments. Therefore, this work proposes on following the concepts of MCC and implementing this method to evaluate the risks associated with the replacement of rotary filters by press models in the sugar manufacturing sector. In the addition to identifying the project risks, it was observed that MCC was effective in the treatment of deviations found in the project and in suggesting improvements, achieving greater realibility of the assets. It was observed that the risk analysis, associated with the MCC methodology, was effective in the treatment of the deviations found in the project by identifying 637 risks, being about 20% with a high degree of severity. In addition, 50 improvements were identified and approved for all systems and thus achieving greater reliability of the assets involved, making the replacement of filter safer and more efficient.

The theme of memory, as an object of research or action in the different disciplinary areas, is challenging as it requires not only curiosity and the search for knowledge, but professional qualification and, above all, determination and passion. For this research, UFSCar is the locus where the implementation of the Multidisciplinary Unit of Memory and Historical Archive (UMMA) is located and this is the inspiring motto to reflect on the diversity of institutional historical sources, their intertwining, entanglement and complementarities, instigating thought to understand all of this, which is reflected in a policy of preserving and safeguarding institutional memory. The main objective of this research is to present a proposal for organizing the University's memory collections by levels of description and grouping into thematic categories and thereby promoting the rescue, preservation and safeguarding of institutional memory. Thus, the result of this study would compose the memory policy at UFSCar. In order to reach the objectives, this research is characterized as being exploratory, descriptive and explanatory of a qualitative nature. The creation of a memory space within the scope of the Institutional Repository is an important initiative for safeguarding UFSCar's memory collections. In addition to the empirical data collected, which allowed a survey of the collections of documents related to the history of UFSCar, this research was also based on a bibliographic and documental survey for the elaboration of analyzes aimed at gathering elements for a proposal for a memory policy through the categorization and typology of information sources that make up the University's historical collections based on thematic categories that could encompass the entire institutional memory. Implementing a memory policy at UFSCar is essential to preserve the institution's memory, safeguard it and, above all, strengthen its identity. The rescue of institutional memory by the servers is equally important for the community and as a way of appreciating all the years of dedication of those who contributed to the construction of the Federal University of São Carlos.

Psitacines are typical representatives of tropical regions, with typically frugivorous and granivorous eating habits. Despite the large number of parrots in some degree of threat, some species of this group are common in urban areas, being tolerant to anthropic disturbances and flexible in terms of their eating habits. However, the study of the diet of these species in an urban environment is still incipient, with large gaps on how this aspect of the life history can influence their occupation and performance in cities. The objective of this thesis was to study the ecology of psitacines in urban areas and forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, focusing on trophic relationships. 36 points distributed in the municipality of São Carlos, SP, were sampled on a fortnightly basis, recording the species of birds and plants they consumed, as well as the number of individuals in each interaction, between September and March 2019-2020 and 2020 -2021. Four species of birds (Brotogeris chiriri – Yellow-chevroned Parakeet, Psittacara leucophthalmus – White-eyed Parakeet, Forpus xanthopterygius – Blue-winged Parrotlet and Eupsittula aurea – Peach-fronted Parakeet) were detected consuming food resources of 46 plant species. Considering the first two psittacine species, which accounted for 90% of the records, the consumption of native and exotic vegetable species occurred in all months throughout the study. Psittacara leucophthalmus equally consumes food resources of native and exotic vegetable species. However, the importance of exotic vegetable species was even greater for B. chiriri, which consumes them more than native ones, mainly in the first months of the studied period. In general, the data indicate that the studied species are highly plastic in terms of their eating habits, and that the consumption of vegetable exotic species may be important for the successful establishment of these populations in an urban environment.

This thesis understands how the local elites associate, articulate themselves with regard to the development of science, technology and innovation policies, related to the local economic development, specifically the implementations of the Technology Parks in the São Paulo’s interior. The state of São Paulo was chosen because it is the first to install a Technological Park in Brazil and has specific laws for this enterprise, in addition to being the state that most invests in science, technology and innovation. The interior of the state, due to the fact that it has little systematized information about these types of developments and about the elites active in this type of policy. In addition to the search for decentralization of policies around the 1990s. As the Technological Park is one of these policies, it involves the proposal of local development, together with the relations between State-universities-companies, linked to the proposal of science and technology and research and development. A bibliographic survey on neoliberalism, science, technology and innovation policies, local development and elites will be carried out. Analysis of government perception of policies related to Technology Parks. Mapping of the agents involved (individuals and private and public institutions). Construction of fields and capitals, as well as the habitus of these elites.

The stochastic block model (SBM) is a random graph model that splits the set of vertices into blocks, and the probability connection between each pair of vertices depends on the blocks to which the vertices belong. The SBM was introduced by Holland et al. (1983) and it is traditionally applied to simple graphs, with each entry in the adjacency matrix following the Bernoulli distribution. Karrer and Newman (2011) extended the model in two directions: they defined the multigraph model (Poisson SBM), in which the entries of the adjacency matrix follow the Poisson distribution, and introduced the degree corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM) that allows the degree distribution of vertices also depend on the vertices, and not just on the blocks they belong to. This thesis is devoted to the problem of estimating the number of communities in the Poisson SBM and DCSBM. We consider the dense regime, in which the probability of connection between pairs of vertices does not depend on the size of the graph, or even the semi-sparse regime, in which the probability of connection between pairs of vertices can decay to 0 (at a certain rate) with the size of the graph. In this general context, we prove that the estimator of the number of communities introduced by Cerqueira and Leonardi (2020) (with the necessary changes) is still strongly consistent.

This research has the general objective of investigating, in educational didactic videos for the deaf, whether visual literacy is present and how it can contribute to the educational development of the deaf student, as well as presenting fundamental aspects that such materials should contain. The specific objectives were: a) to present the literacy strategies used by the teacher; b) point out in the videos aspects that should be taken into account when creating didactic videos for the deaf. This study had the contributions from authors such as (TAVEIRA, 2016; LEBEDEFF, 2010) who listed necessary aspects that didactic videos for the deaf should contain. Therefore, our object of study was the Sala 8 channel, on the YouTube platform, a channel created by a bilingual teacher and nominated for the Global Teacher Prize, “Nobel Prize” in Education, in 2020. Then, a selection of videos was made, categorizing them by disciplines, and presenting aspects listed as primordial in visual literacy. In total, eight videos were selected, presented as follows: Two of Mathematics, two of Portuguese, two of Science and two of Geography, with the purpose of identifying the strategies used and analyzing how they are marked by visual literacy. The analyzes were developed based on the concepts presented in the theoretical chapters. As a result, the quality and problematization of relevant aspects present in the videos stand out, emphasizing the need not only for linguistic, technological and visual knowledge in the production of videos for the deaf, but also for the context and for prior knowledge of deaf students. It is hoped, from this study, to contribute to the production of new didactic videos that train deaf students and that actually promote visual literacy.

The veganism defends the end of animal exploitation in the various society sectors in which it is present, such as food, entertainment, in clothing, ingredients and testes for cosmetics and hygiene products, among others. It seeks to find more friendly alternatives for animals, people, and the environment. Because of this variety of uses, veganism presents several actions fronts that are usually treated in an individual way in studies and actions. Besides that, this multiplicity does not allow an automatic association between veganism and sustainability. Thus, this research aimed to obtain an overview of the studies and actions in the field of veganism and its association with sustainability, in order to understand which views guide this movement, the actors involved and how they act. For this, the concepts related to sustainability transitions were used to approach the theme. At first, a systematic literature review of veganism and sustainability was carried out to consolidate this study field and verify the main topics discussed and research gaps. From this review, it was possible to identify the themes that need more studies. From there, it was decided to continue the research with organizations that defends the veganism in Brazil. From both studies, it was possible to realize that there is an association between veganism and sustainability, especially when veganism is treated together with other movements like the ones for environmental and societal justice. The very end of animal exploitation is also considered a factor that improves several aspects in the environment and societal fields. In addition, several groups active in the movement were identified, such as NGOs that seek to expand the movement; government that are pressured for legislations in favor of animals; celebrity and influencers who use their reach to spread the cause; companies that are pressured to some extent and partly take advantage of it to create a niche market for plant products; the academic field, which drives the movement with studies related to it; and society, which other actors try to change perceptions about animals to change the way they are treated, and who also play an active role in including aspects of veganism, such as food, in their daily lives and thereby strengthening their demands.

Sleep has been widely discussed in studies with the older population. Scientific evidence indicates that disorders related to poor sleep, poor sleep quality and sleep duration lead to several negative outcomes for the health of older people. Considered as a normal and necessary physiological condition for maintaining life, studies indicate that variables such as anxiety, stress, depression and cognition may be associated with sleep disorders in aging. The general objective of this thesis is to verify association between sleep duration and sociodemographic, health and emotional characteristics in older people in the community. Three studies were developed that make up the thesis. The first consists of a systematic review with the objective of identifying in the literature the existence of primary studies that evaluated the relationship and/or association between sleep and emotional factors in the older population. Searches were carried out in Pubmed, VHL, PsycINFO and Scopus, from 2010 to 2020, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. From a total of 1,354 articles identified, 32 studies were included for analysis. The data showed the association of emotional factors with the sleep of older people. Depressive symptoms, stress and anxiety were the most prevalent emotional factors and were associated with poor sleep quality, longer sleep latency, lower efficiency and duration, causing damage and triggering sleep disorders. The second study, with a cross-sectional method, aimed tocheck for differencesin depressive symptoms and perceived stress in old women, grouped according to sleep duration (short sleep, normal sleep and long sleep). Data from a database (2018) of a cross-sectional study carried out with 116 elderly women living in areas covered by Family Health Units were analyzed, using the following instruments: sociodemographic characterization questionnaire; Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; Geriatric Depression Scale – 15 items and Perceived Stress Scale. Analyzes were performed using the Pearson, Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney Chi-Square Tests. Old women with long sleep had a higher score in the evaluation of depressive symptoms compared to old women with short sleep and normal sleep. Perceived stress was significantly higher in the short sleep and long sleep groups. The third study, with a cross-sectional methodology, investigated direct and indirect associations between sleep duration and sociodemographic factors (gender, age, education and income), health (performance in basic and instrumental activities of daily living, use of medication, coffee intake, cognitive performance) and emotional aspects (symptoms of depression and stress) in community-dwelling older people, through the analysis of structural equations of Path Analysis. The independent variables male gender (-0.196); lower coffee consumption (-0.193) and worse cognitive performance (-0.187) were directly associated with longer sleep duration. Emotional aspects were mediated by functionality and cognition. It is concluded that several variables can directly or indirectly influence sleep duration. Indirect paths should be considered to enhance interventions in different areas of care for the older people. This thesis presents significantly relevant results. It adds that conditions often reported with aging may be related to causing negative outcomes for the health of the older people. The findings can contribute to fostering care strategies in the context of aging.

Introduction: Previous studies on patients hospitalized for COVID-19 have shown that they have impaired mobility, however, so far, little data has been released regarding the characteristics of physical mobility of these patients who were hospitalized either in wards or ICUs, as well as on the possible relationship with clinical outcomes. Objective: to investigate clinical characteristics and health outcomes in patients according to their mobility on admission and discharge from hospital due to COVID-19. Methods: Retrospective observational study with the characteristics involving patients admitted to a hospital affected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The patients were analyzed in terms of mobility and the classification was made according to the protocol by Morris et al 2008 (figure 1) following the evolution of health professionals through the electronic medical record at the time of admission and discharge. Health outcomes were considered: length of hospital stay in the ICU or ward (in number of days), need for mechanical ventilation (in days), need for prone position, if there was extubation failure (considering a time ≤48hrs after extubation) , need for tracheostomy, occurrence of cardiovascular events, septic shock, renal failure, cardiorespiratory arrest and in-hospital death. Results: A total of 30 patients were evaluated, 50% were women. The main comorbidity was SAH, and the main symptoms were cough and dyspnea. As clinical outcomes, 26 patients were using oxygen therapy, 4 required invasive mechanical ventilation and one died. In the correlation between clinical outcomes and mobility, we found a negative correlation between the need for ICU admission and greater mobility on admission (r: -0.36; p=0.04). Conclusion: We concluded that patients hospitalized due to complications from COVID19 had less mobility on admission compared to hospital discharge.

Studies have shown that the decrease in the bee population is associated with multiple factors, with exposure to pesticides being the main factor in Brazil. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the possible effects of residual concentrations of the herbicide glyphosate and the insecticide imidacloprid found, in an isolated and combined form, on the development, the immune system and the digestive system of stingless bees Scaptotrigona postica. For this, in vivo, bioassays were conducted to develop a method to evaluate the toxicity of pesticides in stingless bees. First, we introduced, inside the colony, different materials (wax + parafilm and cerumen) to seal the uncapped brood cells and observed the acceptance of these materials by the bees. In the second and third bioassays, we tested the application of larval food with different types of needles in the brood cells (without uncapping) both in the colony and in the brood disc placed in the incubator. Due to the highly efficient hygienic behavior and the high proliferation of fungi in the brood discs in the incubator, we obtained an emergence index equal to zero, and it was not possible to establish an adequate method for carrying out the in vivo toxicity tests. The development of this method requires deeper studies on the existing micro-ecosystem in the colony and the biology of S. postica. In the second part of the work, we performed in vitro bioassays. S. postica larvae were fed with larval food containing pesticides at the following concentrations: D1 – control (larval food without the addition of active ingredients), D2 – 0.2 ng/µL of glyphosate, D3 – 0.2 ng/µL of imidacloprid and D4 – 0.2 ng/µL of glyphosate + 0.2 ng/µL of imidacloprid and its development was observed until emergence. Biological parameters were evaluated, such as mortality rate, pupation, defecation, and bee emergence. We also evaluated morphometric parameters of head width and intertegular span distance, the immune system's number of cells, and the midgut's histoarchitecture. The data obtained were submitted for statistical analysis using the RStudio software. The results showed that imidacloprid significantly affected the survival rates of the larvae, while the other groups did not change. The morphometry of the intertegular span distance and width of the head was affected by glyphosate, the mixture only showed changes in the measurement of the head and imidacloprid did not show any of the two parameters. There was no change in the number of hemocytes for the larvae exposed to the experimental groups. As for newly emerged bees, exposure to imidacloprid and mixture significantly affected hemocyte density. The results of the midgut's morphological alterations showed organ damage in the experimental groups (D2, D3, and D4). Loss of cytoplasmic material, loss of brush border, and elimination of cells into the lumen were observed. Thus, we conclude that glyphosate can affect the size of individuals and the functioning of the intestine. Imidacloprid can compromise the survival of bees, the immune system of bees, and the digestive system. And finally, the mixture of pesticides did not cause the sum of the effects of the active ingredients but had sublethal effects on the individual's size, the immune system, and the digestive system. The data obtained indicate the need for attention to the risk assessment process of pesticides for bees, including native ones. It also contributes to knowledge about our species of stingless bees.

The bilingual education model for the deaf defends, among other aspects, the appropriation of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as a first language and that teaching this language is important, especially in dialogic processes, since the more present the language is in the relationships social, the more effective acquisition and learning will be. Thus, we understand the importance of Libras for the school education of deaf people and we know that this refers to several issues. In this study, we intend to investigate a resource for assessing the understanding of Libras, so this research presents the evaluative tool "FACLibras" composed by the children's story "The turtle and the eagle", narrated in Libras, along with a cast of fifteen questions referring to to her. The tool was based on a Spanish survey and the purpose of this procedure is to verify, from the participants' responses, their level of understanding regarding aspects related to Libras. Thus, after a pilot application, it was possible to perceive a great potential of the tool and, on the other hand, that to fully achieve its objectives, FACLibras needed some adjustments. Therefore, the objective of this study was to proceed with the investigation of FACLibras, seeking to improve the presentation of the narrative and the wording of the questions, as well as the multiple-choice alternatives. The specific objectives of the study are: a) to review the videos that comprise the narrative, as well as the questions and alternatives related to it; b) reorganize the tool in a new version, according to the necessary adjustments; c) apply the new version of the tool. The methodological procedures range from organizing a team of specialists to observe and take notes about the material to make the necessary adjustments, to the process of applying the tool to the participants. It was expected that, after adjusting and applying the tool, the results would reveal a sensitivity of the construct and in its final version the tool proved to be sensitive to the variation in age and grade of the participants, indicating its suitability to be used by teachers in the future.

This research is related to the experiences (DEWEY, 1979) of additional language teachers in the initial years of schools that follow the Waldorf Pedagogy (STEINER, 1995, 2003, 2015 among others), which is based on a broad and complete view of the human being and his development; from this point of view, children and young people are considered in their individual aspects and in the particularities of the age group to which they belong. The theoretical contribution of this thesis is anchored in the definitions of critical linguistic education (MONTE MÓR, et al., 2018; SABOTA, 2021; FERRAZ, 2015, 2018, 2019), integral education, humanizing education (MORIN, 2017; MOLL, 2019; GUERRA, 2019; GUARÁ, 2006) and transdisciplinar education (LEFFA, 2006; MORIN, 2017) and Waldorf Pedagogy (STEINER, 1995, 2003, 2015; KÜGELGEN, 1984; KIERSCH, 2015; SELG, 2020). The general objective of the research is to report and critically interpret the proposal for language education in Waldorf Pedagogy based on experiences shared by additional language teachers working in schools that follow this pedagogy. The specific objectives are: 1. to investigate and evaluate possible developments of aspects of critical linguistic education and the panorama of additional languages in Waldorf Pedagogy that complement each other and 2. to identify aspects conducive to the critical, integral and humanizing formation of the student in additional language classes from the experiences shared by the teachers/participants. The research methodology that guides the study is the Narrative Research (CLANDININ and CONNELLY, 2011; MELLO, 2004), which directed being in the field, the composition of meanings from field texts and also the emergence of research texts. There were two teachers/participants who shared their experiences of working in the classroom. From these experiences, themes such as transdisciplinarity, ludicity, learning assessment, the integral formation of the student and the humanization of education emerged. With the discussions made from the research texts, it is noted that there is, in additional language classes of Waldorf Pedagogy, the experience of critical linguistic education: the performance of the teachers/participants denotes a work based on the construction of meanings, on the contextualization, respect for the affective character of being, lovingness, dialogue with students. Such action excels in student’s critical, comprehensive and humanizing education.

Objective: To describe the perception of Occupational Therapists about their experiences in telerehabilitation (TR) with children who have sensorimotor dysfunctions in Brazil during the pandemic. Methodology: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative and qualitative study. The participants are professionals graduated in Occupational Therapy who work in Brazil and who use the TR resource to offer care to children with sensorimotor dysfunction. Based on a mapping of institutions, an online questionnaire with open and closed questions was implemented. Afterwards, a dialogue began, through interviews conducted online using virtual platforms, with three participants selected by convenience sampling to deepen the information about how the TR occurred. Results: Occupational therapists developed TR actions to assist children with sensorimotor dysfunction during the pandemic caused by COVID-19. All participants expressed difficulties in developing and implementing technologies for interacting with families and children remotely, but the process gradually evolved with adaptation on both sides. In general, there is a positive assessment by therapists regarding the therapeutic experience, virtual, mediated by technology: benefits for families, children and the therapist himself/herself through the learning promoted in the use of equipment and applications. As resources used during sessions in Occupational Therapy through TR are: online games, recreational activities, stories, make-believe games, videos, movies and other resources from the child’s own home. The results indicate factors that made TR difficult: lack of access to the internet by families, unstable web connection, lack of physical contact with the child, preventing handling, especially with children with more severe physical dysfunction, and impediment to the use of specific techniques for handling. As favorable indicators related to TR are: greater proximity of the therapist to the family; development of a more active interaction between therapist-parents; greater participation of parents in the therapeutic process and acknowledge of the reality of the child’s home/life context. It is important to point out that there are controversies about the benefits or otherwise of considering parents as mediators of the therapeutic process in this modality of TR. Conclusion: It is expected that the results produced in this research can contribute to the improvement of TR practices in occupational therapy aimed at children with sensorimotor disorders, a modality that is still new in Brazil.

Off-road vehicles are designed and built by teams of students in academic engineering extension projects to withstand various obstacles and adverse terrains, usually without pavement, which are difficult to navigate with regular passenger vehicles. The project and vehicle are presented and evaluated before judges at regional, national and international competitions, organized by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers - Society of Autonomous Engineers). To guarantee the driver's safety, in addition to following the competition regulations, it is necessary to evaluate the components considering the loads that will be applied and the environment in which the vehicle will be inserted. In these assessments, a quantitative value is sought to allow setting goals, estimating limits and validating them. From this perspective, fatigue analysis is necessary to estimate the limits considering that the vehicle will be required repeatedly, as in the Enduro endurance test, a race lasting 4 consecutive hours. In this sense, simulations are carried out with representative models of the vehicle, usually built by a discrete dynamic system. Modal analysis provides model resonance frequencies, which can be used to evaluate critical points susceptible to loading. Performing a dynamic system analysis, considering as input the variations of an arbitrary terrain, the modal analysis was obtained, the tensions in the suspension springs were calculated and the fatigue damage caused by the loading on the springs was estimated. Therefore, the objective of this work is to present a way to estimate the vehicle's fatigue limit.
