(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-05-05) Sala, Lorena Laís; Valdanha Neto, Diógenes; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8853958256665125; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8170-0484; Sebastiani, Renata; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9773755519907716; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4565-6137; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3527978087784454; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9286-5682
Rural schools have a fundamental role, which goes beyond the act of educating, is an educational modality that aims at the social and political transformation of the subjects and the various dimensions of individuals. In this perspective, science education is one of the responsible for the transformation of students into more critical citizens and capable of becoming agents of transformation of the world in which they live. Thus, this research, which has a qualitative character, sought to identify aspects of everyday peasant life that can contribute to the teaching of science. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five family members of students from the field school, as well as observations, with a field diary. In this context, the participants of the research present the ideal school, which here we call dream school, and according to them this school constitutes as one of the fundamental tools for the continuity of rural settlements, family farming and aspects that involve life in the countryside. In addition, the data presented show the possibility of dialogue between family farming and science teaching, which is based on the social reality of students and the community, which is essential for the subjects to transform their social reality. In this sense, from the voices that have long been silenced, there are possibilities that can contribute in various aspects to this school and the return of their activities, approach to life in the field and the Operational Guidelines for Basic Education in the field.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-05-05) Dall'Agnol, Gabriela; Tavares Neto, Roberto Fernandes; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6954662222457389; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7814486222201557
With the advancement of production technologies and materials, it is currently possible to use Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, for the large-scale production of finished products, with numerous advantages, such as a high level of customization, simplification of factory floor and fast delivery. Production sequencing, known as Scheduling, is a well-established topic in his research area, but its application within an AM environment faces specific issues that have yet to be explored by researchers. The present study carries out a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the subject, in order to identify the main mathematical models, algorithms adopted for their solution and the main characteristics of the computational experiments carried out. The considered environment was mathematically modeled and, subsequently, a constructive heuristic solution multi-start based on the GRASP algorithm (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure) was implemented in order to solve this problem. From generated instances, its performance was evaluated through computational experiments. The results showed that the proposed heuristic managed to obtain good results in very little computational time, in addition to achieving a low gap dispersion, indicating a high repeatability of the implemented heuristic.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-05-05) Sadala, Adria Yared; Liebano, Richard Eloin; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1397951221512127; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4795-6723; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9419751468314167; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3211-9095
Carboxytherapy is an invasive nonsurgical technique with broad applicability for different esthetic functions, especially cellulite. Pain is the main limiting factor for its use. Electrophysical resources such as electroanalgesia and vibratory devices have been attracting attention, effectively controlling acute pain associated with injectables. Thus, it is important to investigate the effects of these therapeutic techniques on carboxytherapy pain management. To that end, 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted. The first investigated the effects of low and high-frequency currents on carboxytherapy pain in women with cellulite. Another objective was to assess sensory comfort at the different currents. The study involved 75 women with moderate and/or severe cellulite in the gluteal region. The subjects were randomized into 3 groups: TENS (n=25), interferential current (n=25) and Aussie current (n=25), and underwent 3 carboxytherapy sessions associated with the electric current. Outcomes: pain intensity and sensory comfort. There was no significant intergroup difference for pain intensity or sensory comfort in the three sessions (p > 0.05 and p = 0.502, respectively). The second test investigated the analgesic effect of two vibratory devices associated with carboxytherapy in women with cellulite. A total of 78 women with moderate and/or severe cellulite in the gluteal region were randomized into 3 groups: VD1 (Carboxytherapy and vibratory device 1), VD2 (Carboxytherapy and vibratory device 2) and Control Group (Carboxytherapy). Outcome: pain intensity. Assessments were carried out in a single treatment session. No significant difference was found for pain intensity between the devices and the control group: VD1 (4.95 ± 2.35), VD2 (4.90 ± 2.22) and Control (4.97 ± 2.43) (p =.997). The vibratory devices did not reduce pain intensity during carboxytherapy in women with cellulite in the gluteal region.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-05-05) Silva, Isabele Cristina Andrade da; Martines, Marcos Roberto; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5317839291904450; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7464-2431; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4153908615907341
This monography addresses the effects of green areas in urban atmospheres, highlighting the influence of these areas on air temperature. Initially, existing knowledge about how green space can mitigate the adverse effects of urban heat islands and improve air quality in urban environments is discussed.To investigate this relationship, the study chose to utilize data collected in the year 2021 from two meteorological stations: the UFSCar station, which serves as a reference for a cooler and more natural environment, and the CETESB station, representing an urban meteorological environment. The selected data collection locations were the UFSCar Campus and the central area of Sorocaba city. The analysis was based on meteorological information collected throughout the year 2021, spanning from January to December, enabling the assessment of air temperature variations across different seasons. For this purpose, the statistical test "T-test" was employed, which is used to compare means of two samples, determining if observed differences are statistically significant. The T-test was applied to compare air temperatures recorded at the UFSCar station and the CETESB station, allowing the evaluation of whether the green areas present at UFSCar influenced thermal variations compared to the central urban area of Sorocaba. From this test, the probability of the observed difference being due to chance or statistically significant will be determined. In conclusion, the research will explore the relationship between green areas and air temperature variations in urban atmospheres. The results obtained through statistical analysis suggest whether there is statistically significant evidence that green areas can influence urban temperatures, with important implications for sustainable urban planning and the promotion of healthier environments in cities.

(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-05-05) Carvalho, Gabriel Cardoso; Milaré, Tathiane; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4030661520659155; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6557-1769; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6628609373474184; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-8008-9400
Currently, it is often observed that artificial intelligence is one of the most discussed subjects around the world. The new technologies are presented in a very abrupt way to society, and often this presents itself as a problem to be fought, considering that lately there is a lot of trust in the information present online, which is a problem, because the search for complete information and veracity of information is increasingly scarce. The ChatGPT tool shows itself as a positive and useful tool in a lot of aspects, but it also presents itself as a negative tool, considering the possibility of false information. It is not really discussed the right use of this kind of tool, which is being considered a possible problem for the professionals in education who are having problems with their students, considering that most of the answers are copied from the ChatGPT. Nevertheless, the great problem observed is the lack of critical sense and the right instruction to use this tool, because the answers are wrong most of the time, which is a problem for the formation of the student. Knowing about this problem, it is necessary to observe and qualify the usage of this kind of tool and then observe how the scientific and technological literacy is presented in the formation of the users. For that, a formulary was distributed to observe how people asked the questions to the tool, and then analyzes, based on scientific and technological literacy, which fundamentals are presented when people use this kind of tool. 35 answers were obtained, and the analysis of the answers was based on a categorization method. In the answers obtained from the formulary, it was possible to observe important aspects of the scientific and technological literacy defended by Fourez, such as the good use of specialists, the opening of black boxes, the use of simple models, the good use of translations, the use of interdisciplinary knowledge, and the good articulation between knowings.
Efeito da interrupção de um programa de exercícios na capacidade física de idosos e associação com a percepção de saúde no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-05-05) Message, Laura Bonome; Rossi, Paulo Giusti; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5241610268196898; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8052-3394; Takahashi, Anielle Cristhine de Medeiros; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8336705133403404; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1263-2833; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0831110975816574; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4068-6292
Introduction: The containment required in the COVID-19 pandemic, especially of the older population, was necessary to contain the spread of the disease. However, this situation brought with it some negative aspects in physical capacity and mental health, which, may be associated with the perception of health. Objective: To evaluate the subjective perception of health and physical capacity of older adults who practiced supervised and group physical exercise in the pre-COVID19 pandemic period. Method: This is a longitudinal retrospective analysis, in which older adults duly enrolled in a UFSCar extension project were invited to participate. Physical capacity assessment (Timed Up and Go, handgrip strength, 30-second sit-to-stand test and single-leg support) took place in March 2020 and as soon as the program's on-site activities were resumed in February 2022. Mental health (Perceived Stress Scale - PSS-10 and Geriatric Depression Scale - GDS) was assessed only in February 2022. In the statistical analysis, the Paired t-test and the Wilcoxon test were applied to analyze the results of physical capacity. The Pearson or Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between mental health aspects and health perception. Results: Fifty-seven older adults participated in the research, the majority being women (78.6%) with an average age of 73.88 years. Most of them had a good or very good health perception, both in 2020 (91.23%) and in 2022 (78.95%) and 85.72% of them self-evaluated their health as good or very good when compared to other ones in the same age group. The subjective perception of physical capacity, however, had a high percentage of reference for worsening muscle strength (48.21%) and balance (42.86%). It was observed, after two years of confinement, a worsening in the physical tests, except in the handgrip strength test and in the unipodal support with the left leg. In mental health, most older adults did not show symptoms of depression (89.3%) or perceived stress (76.4%) in 2022. Finally, it was noted that the worst results related to mental health was not associated with perceived health after a period without supervised physical exercise. Conclusion: The confinement caused by the pandemic led to a deterioration in the physical capacity of the older adults, except in the handgrip strength test and single leg support with the left leg. In addition, it was observed that a large proportion of these older adults had a good global perception of health, but the subjective perception of physical capacities had a high reference percentage for worsening after the period without performing supervised and group physical exercises. Finally, mental health was not correlated with a worse subjective perception of the physical capacity of the older adults.
