The present monographic work seeks to survey the history of PSOL, its main groupings, and objectives as a "Party," and its position regarding the 2022 presidential elections, which were marked by the dispute between Lula and Jair Bolsonaro. Formed by a rupture from the PT in 2003, PSOL has charted paths of distancing and approaches with the PT, and its internal currents have seen different strategies for strengthening its ranks and combating setbacks in recent years. The importance of PSOL to politics in Brazil is directly related to the defense of socialism as an alternative. According to Alencar (2018), socialism is not just a utopia or a dream but a historical and political necessity in the face of the social and environmental degradation produced by capitalism. For the same author, this alternative is possible and feasible for the 21st century, as it takes into account the demands and aspirations of social movements, workers, and minorities (ALENCAR, 2018). That said, we will seek to present these respective internal currents and their disputes and explain the transformations of the Party that accompanied the changes in Brazil itself, especially in the period after the parliamentary coup against Dilma Rousseff, the election of Bolsonaro, the pandemic, and the struggle to remove Bolsonaro from the presidency.

In recent times, the idea of bringing or creating psychological tests for the online modality has been growing more and more. The present project is part of this problem, turning to the field of study of cognitive assessment. For the creation of the tests, gamification principles were added to the psychological tests in order to make the activities carried out in the tests more playful, attractive and positive for the test taker. In this sense, computerized tests were created on the constructs of (attention, spatial reasoning, numerical reasoning, working memory, thought flexibility, vocabulary extension). A total of 16,314 people over 18 years of age participated in this research and answered the tests in a spiral fashion, with other tests planned to assess related constructs. Finally, it was possible to observe evidence of validity and psychometric parameters of the tests that make up the battery, along with the comparison between different test use platforms, resulting in a set of psychological tests that can help facilitate cognitive assessment in different contexts.

The industrialization of construction is perceived as a solution to the problems of the conventional method of building, improving the sector’s productivity and the quality of products and rationalizing the use of human, financial and environmental resources. One of the strategies used by the prefabricated sector is the Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation due to the reliability of the models’ information and the integration between systems and technologies. Despite the synergy between BIM and prefabricated construction, the BIM implementation is a complex process and presents barriers to success. In this sense, this dissertation has as its main objective the definition and analysis of the Critical Success Factors (CSF) related to the implementation of BIM in the precast concrete sector in Brazil. The research method adopted is exploratory and was initiated with a systematic literature review (RSL) where the 25 main barriers addressed in the literature were identified. Subsequently, questionnaires were applied to nine companies in the sector, where the respondents exposed their perceptions about the BIM implementation process in their respective companies. In the sample analyzed, the main improvements pointed out by the BIM adoption focus on improving information management and optimizing the design, production and assembly process. However, in the companies analyzed, there was some difficulty in planning the implementation process, from the definition of objectives, deadlines and responsible, contributing to a partial use of BIM and reduction of the benefits of adoption. Respondents also assessed 25 barriers identified in the RSL in relation to their degree of importance for the successful implementation of BIM using a Likert scale. Based on the score received by each barrier, ten FCS were defined: high initial cost; lack of trained BIM professionals; resistance to integrated and collaborative work; misunderstanding of the benefits of BIM; lack of BIM implementation plan; interoperability problems; lack of communication between the model and the production system; lack of technical support; lack of leadership from senior management; resistance to data sharing. Despite the small sample, the interrelationships between the FCS were analyzed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to establish a roadmap for future research. Thus, the FCS were evaluated qualitatively through the PCA, considering the grouping of the FCS into two main components: factors related to people and organization and factors related to processes and technology.

The sugarcane culture presents relevant economic importance in the Brazilian agribusiness. Among the various limiting factors in sugarcane production, pest insects are prominent, requiring the adoption of efficient control. The increasing search for alternatives in integrated pest management has demanded more and more knowledge from producers, seeking alternatives that are economically viable, environmentally accepted, and have high control efficiency. This work was carried out with the objective of surveying the phytosanitary products registered at the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA), aiming to point out, in a targeted way, the active ingredient, mechanism of action, mode of action, toxicological class, application modality, target insects, selectivity, active ingredient dose, and withdrawal period of products available for sugarcane. The survey was carried out through the database of MAPA, made available on the AGROFIT website, where information was obtained through the formulated products category, using filters for insecticides, biological control agents, and microbiological insecticides for sugarcane culture. All data collected from October 2020 to March 2022 were inserted into an MS-Excel program table, making it possible to consult the necessary information for the study.

The species Cucurbita maxima is used as a female parent in the production of Tetsukabuto pumpkin, one of the vegetables with the highest economic value found in our country. To agronomically characterizing the lines of a genetic improvement program for this vegetable is important to guide future crosses and obtain new hybrids. The objective of this work was the agronomic characterization of C. maxima strains from the germplasm bank of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), for the future attainment of Tetsukabuto hybrids. The experiment was completely randomized, in the field, with sprinkler irrigation. Spacing used was one meter between plants and three meters between rows, with four repetitions, each consisting of eight plants, the evaluations used only the four central plants. Pollination, both self-fertilization and crossing, were carried out 40 days after sowing, with 90 days after sowing the evaluations of plants and fruits began. Evaluations were performed using Scott-Knott statistical analysis at 5%. It can be seen that the 10642 RC lineage obtained the smallest plant length, being statistically different from the other treatments, with an average productivity of 9.28 tons per hectare, statistically differing only from the 10633 RC lineage, which presented an average of 19.29 tons per hectare. In this way, the 10642 RC lineage presented superior agronomic characteristics and could be used in the combination of new hybrids. Because they have compact plants, there is the possibility of obtaining a hybrid of Tetsukabuto with short branches in the future.

The cultivation of sugar cane is intrinsically linked to Brazil's economic development. Currently, producers responsible for cultivating the culture face challenges related to the production environment, strategic and operational planning in order to meet needs and raise production levels. The lack of good planning for the use of early cultivars and the lack of operational planning can impact market supply at the beginning of the harvest, disorganizing the harvest calendar and leading to a reduction in the sucrose content of cultivars that had their early harvest. The study aimed to measure the percentage of medium-cycle sugarcane cultivars that had their harvest anticipated, due to the non-availability of early cultivars. The data correspond to suppliers of a sugar and alcohol plant, where from the productive scenario it was possible to quantify the consequences of an early harvest of cultivars still in the maturation process. The lack of gains in TRS (Total Recoverable Sugar) was the most significant, possibly reaching a reduction of 5.40 kilograms of TRS per ton of sugarcane. Other consequences, such as the disorganization of the harvest calendar and loss of the planting window are also the result of the producer's lack of planning. It is these challenges that can minimize problems related to the anticipation of the harvest and that lead to the reduction of TRS and lower profit for the producer.

This work aims to analyze the novel Predadores (2005), by the Angolan writer Pepetela, through the theoretical assumptions of post-colonialism and under the thematic axis of the rise of the bourgeoisie in post-independence Angola. Therefore, it is intended here to reflect, through the analysis of the character Vladimiro Caposso, the subversion of anti-colonial values by the nationalist bourgeoisie that after independence occupies the spaces of power formerly under the control of the colonial system and embodies the role of the colonizer in Angolan society.

The following work describes the process of carrying out an experimental video-essay that, based on the seminal work by Laura Mulvey, Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, that inaugurates feminist thought in cinematographic studies, seeks in the two versions of Suspiria — both the original 1977 film, directed by Dario Argento, and its 2018 remake, by Luca Guadagnino — a reflection on the representation of the female body in cinema. Based on theoretical research and a bibliographical review of works on female representation and on different video-essay formats, we seek to elaborate an audiovisual product that explores the link between the female body and its images — provoked by these two films — without necessarily relying on a “thesis” to be proved. The goal is to launch a sort of initial questioning and let the editing, in itself, provoke reflection in the viewers.

This work aims to demonstrate a practical way to model Photonic Molecules (PMs), using tools often used in control theory. It is shown here how it is possible to model systems composed of coupled electromagnetic resonators using a graph representation. Furthermore, it is shown the application of this modeling method for different photonic systems and how the response predicted by this method does agree with the response expected by the coupled oscillators theory, and how this tool predicts the transition between dark states and quasi-dark states when the system’s symmetry is broken.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the iron nutrient in a hydroponic system using arugula baby leaf (Astro variety) in two seasons, summer and winter, on the characteristics: leaf area, fresh mass of shoots and roots, dry mass of the aerial and root and total chlorophyll index. The experimental design of the study was in randomized blocks, with a factorial of four doses of iron (T1=1.8; T2= 3.6; T3 = 5.4; T4 = 7.2 g.1000L-1). The results presented in the summer season were adequate, mainly in the concentration of T3, which presented higher values for fresh mass of shoots, roots, leaf area and dry mass. For the winter season, the results were positive, since the fresh mass of the aerial part and the root, the dry mass of the aerial part and the chlorophyll index of the large leaves were higher and for the dry mass of the root, mainly using the T4 concentration. Comparing the seasons, it was found that the effect of iron was more adequate in the summer, since all mass parameters were higher. Iron supplementation in both seasons can bring benefits to the plant, producer and possibly the consumer.

Gender-based violence is a worldwide phenomenon with high rates of occurrence, including among youth. International studies indicate the effectiveness of actions developed in schools and universities that aim to prevent gender-based violence in adolescence and youth, highlighting the role of friendships and peer group as a prevention factor. The thesis entitled "Preventive factors of gender-based violence in the university context" aimed to investigate how friendships and peer group can act as a gender violence prevention factor for young college women in Brazil and the role of the educational institution in fostering actions that favor the prevention of gender violence in the Brazilian university context. The research was based on investigations and practices linked to the research line of preventive socialization of gender violence, guided by the concept of dialogic learning and dialogical-based authors who highlight the importance of interactions in identity development. For its development, the research was guided by the Communicative Methodology, which implies an equal dialogue between participants and researcher. Ten Brazilian female university students, aged 19 to 23, participated in the research. There were conducted 5 communicative daily-life stories, two communicative focus groups, and two groups for devolutive and intersubjective data analysis. Data collection with the participants took place during the Covid-19 pandemic period and therefore took place virtually. The data were analyzed for their exclusionary elements and their transformative elements. In the case of the present research, the excluding dimensions refer to the actions of peers that do not contribute to the prevention of violence and may favor violence, and the transforming dimensions concern the actions of peers that contribute to decrease and/or prevent violence against women. The elements were categorized into the following thematic categories: identification of violence against women at the university; peer pressure/dominant coercive discourse; informal network support; formal network support; affective-sexual attraction and relationships, and campus culture/climate. The analysis of the data indicated that an important excluding element was peer pressure exerted on students to perform actions they did not want in regard to affective-sexual relationships and other behaviors in the university environment. On the other hand, as international research indicates, in the Brazilian university context the peer group can also play an important preventive role regarding gender violence in youth. The relationships of solidarity and dialogue established among the students, and the respectful relationships among peers stand out as important transforming elements. The support and solidarity network for the victims of violence at the university is also an important transforming element identified. From the dialogue with the students, institutional practices that favor the prevention of violence in the Brazilian university context are also suggested.

Invasive species are a problem that has been considered the second biggest threat to the planet's biodiversity. As this problem is little known by the population in general, people may even be contributing to the spread of invasive species in ecosystems, causing damage to native species. This paper aims to analyze and explore the discussions that can be made through the reading of didactic materials used by high school students about the teaching of invasive exotic species. To this end, we analyzed the teaching materials regarding the presence and quality of the content related to invasive species. Textbooks from three educational systems, three collections of textbooks, and the nine first pages on the internet after a Google search on "invasive species" were selected. At the end of the work it could be observed that there are differences between the concepts used by some of the materials, and it was observed that in 4 of the 15 materials analyzed, the theme is worked in a way that contains conceptual errors or too shallow or technical information, which caused the materials to be considered unsatisfactory, while other 5 had the quality considered as partially satisfactory and, finally, 6 were considered satisfactory due to their language, clarity and veracity of information. The use of teaching materials and resources with very technical, shallow, or incorrect information ends up contributing to the spread of invasive species, since the student may not be able to identify this problem when there is a deficit in teaching the subject.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused impacts around the world, interfering in the business models, social dynamics and the population's routine, especially in their eating habits. In addition to encouraging consumers to seek a healthier diet, thinking about strengthening the immune system against the virus, it reinforced guidelines and debates regarding food quality and safety, as well as care for the environment and brand principles. The food sector is constantly evolving to meet market demands, which can change quickly or remain traditional for a long period of time. For this reason, it is essential that companies keep up to date with the consumer profile and the factors that directly influence their purchase decision. With that in mind, this work aimed to collect responses from residents of Brazil and other regions of the world through online forms about consumer preferences in the post-pandemic context, gathering questions about diets, packaging, places of purchase, sales prices, organic and vegan products, and Food Security, to form a material rich in information on trends and market projections that may be useful for future innovation projects and research in the food area. The results were assembled into interactive dashboards in Microsoft Power BI and correlated with other recently published surveys. At the end of the analysis, it could be concluded that the pandemic scenario, indeed, brought significant changes to various food sectors and to the lives of the consuming public, who are increasingly critical in their choices, due to growing environmental concerns, greater attention to the principles and positioning of brands and interest in more natural and nutritious products. In addition, with the world still recovering from the effects of the pandemic, debates on food accessibility and availability are urgent to combat the high levels of food insecurity.

The aim of this work is to present a mathematical introduction to the main concepts involved in Markowitz Theory. The portfolio selection developed by Markowitz shows the importance of asset portfolio diversification, requiring that the sectors in which they are located are different. In this sense, statistical knowledge such as variance, standard deviation and covariance is used to analyze the expected values and risk of assets. Thus, an investment portfolio that shows less risk and greater profitability is sought, concluding which percentage of each asset in this portfolio is ideal.

Thaumatin is a protein present in the leaves of the plant Thaumatococcus daniellii, native to West Africa. This protein is known for its intensely sweet taste and for being about 2000 times sweeter than sugar. For this reason, this protein has been studied as a possible substitute for sugar in foods and beverages, especially in dietetic products. In addition, Thaumatin (combined protein Thaumatin I and II) is considered safe for human consumption, as it is a natural protein that does not cause side effects. Although Thaumatin is naturally sweet, it doesn't taste like sugar. It has a long sweet aftertaste, with a bitter aftertaste, and can be combined with other sweeteners, such as stevia, to create a taste closer to sugar. In addition, Thaumatin is an additive that can be used in a variety of products, such as beverages, desserts, cereals, protein bars, chewing gum and pharmaceuticals. More recently, biotechnological studies have emerged to increase the variety of possible new products on the consumer's shelf. Its ability to enhance the sweet flavor in small amounts also makes it an economical choice for food manufacturers. Thus, this work proposes to review the bibliographic information on this subject, confirming the potential in the use of these macromolecules for therapeutic purposes in order to alleviate pathologies related to high sugar consumption, in addition to providing a practical example of possible biotechnological application already under study.

According to Grand View Research, global sales of cooktops are expected to grow by more than 8.5% by 2028, driven by consumers increasingly seeking space-saving solutions for their homes. Consequently, companies in the home appliance sector, known as the white goods industry, have been investing more and more in this type of product. Most of these companies are multinational, and therefore the importation of products between continents is quite common; in order to reduce costs, maritime transport is the most widely adopted option. Due to the different environmental conditions in each country and the fact that maritime transport exposes products to extremely harsh climatic conditions, such as high temperatures and high humidity levels, many components suffer physicochemical degradation during transportation. In this work, two components were identified as being damaged during transport: a steel ANSI 403 part that showed oxidation in the regions subjected to the laser marking process, and an injection-molded and painted plastic part that exhibited blistering and peeling. The root cause of both problems was identified as the extreme humidity during maritime transport, which came into contact with the products due to small holes in the packaging. As a solution, after applying a Pugh matrix, the replacement of ANSI 403 steel with ANSI 304 steel and the adoption of a new packaging design were approved, in which a non-perforated plastic layer is added around the product to prevent moisture ingress. The project proved to be effective in solving the problems and also met the financial requirements, and was therefore implemented by the company.

In this work, there is an epistemological analysis of the concept of “junk” DNA, based on the aspects proposed by the biologist Ludwik Fleck, as following: styles of thinking; harmony of illusions; intra-collective and inter-collective circulation of ideas. Furthermore, five textbooks proposed in the Brazilian National Book and Didactic Material Program (PNLD) were selected to understand the effectiveness and dynamics of the dissemination of scientific knowledge about the non-coding regions of DNA, in textbooks used in basic education, and the relevance of the history and philosophy of science (HFC), in line with Fleck's perspective of popular science. The contents analyzed referred to the non-coding regions of DNA, based on the following aspects: the presence or absence of the concept "junk DNA"; the presence of historical contextualization of the theme; and the presence of historical inconsistencies, considering the sociocultural formation of knowledge. Therefore, the research methodology adopted was a qualitative model. For the analysis of the concept, the technique used was the document analysis of articles, and for the analysis of the contents, focusing on the theme “junk DNA”, the analysis of textbooks was carried out. The development of this work involved the consideration that changes in the teaching of science are constant due to changes in the historical-social context in which academic knowledge is constituted. The likelihood of scientific concepts is estimated through historically constructed explanatory models, emphasizing the importance of the history and philosophy of science (HFC) as a didactic possibility in education. Among the books selected to compose this analysis, none of them satisfactorily addresses the historical context that permeates the non-coding sequences of proteins. The book "Natural Sciences - Technological World and Applied Sciences" (2020), by Lopes and Rosso, is one of the most discussed on the subject. In contrast, the book “Biologia Moderna” (2016), by Amabis and Martho, is the least developed, still presenting arguments that may lead to contradictions with current scientific discoveries. The analysis of the books shows a mismatch between the intra-collective and inter-collective circulation of ideas. In the course of the educational process, students should be encouraged to actively participate in the construction of knowledge, considering the historical, political, social, and economic aspects that constitute it, contributing to the development of critical views on the most varied subjects The theme “non-coding regions” selected to compose this discussion is current and is related to the emergence of the area of epigenetics. Therefore, there is still a reflection on the importance of discussing epigenetic processes, influenced by the population´s environmental stimuli and lifestyle habits as well as their role in heredity
