This research aimed to evaluate the behavior of concrete block structural masonry built with thin polymer composite mortar. The construction of structural masonry with thin joints has been used for some years in Europe, and some countries already have design standards considering its application. However, there are still no standards for the design of structural masonry with thin joints made of polymeric compounds, due to the lack of knowledge about the behavior of masonry laid with this type of material. This research was developed to evaluate the behavior of masonry in compression through tests carried out on prisms, small walls and walls. A step was also developed to evaluate the influence of filling the vertical joint on the shear behavior of the masonry. The flexural behavior of the masonry was also evaluated through bending resistance tests carried out on prisms according to the procedure described in ABNT NBR 16868-3 (2020) and also using the lever method provided for in the Australian standard AS 3700 (2017). Three types of concrete blocks with a nominal size of 140x190X290 mm were used, with different values of compressive strength and also two polymeric compounds from different producers. Procedures were proposed for performing tests to characterize the mechanical properties of polymeric compounds. When performing compressive strength tests, it was possible to notice differences between the compounds from the two producers. This difference would not be perceived just by carrying out the characterization tests specified in NBR 16590-2 (ABNT, 2017); therefore, they can be used to differentiate the properties of different polymeric compounds with greater precision. The use of plastic wedges can assist in the laying process, to ensure the alignment of the rows. NBR 16590-1 (ABNT, 2017), points out filling the vertical joint as optional, however, shear resistance tests indicate that there is a decrease of around 60% in shear resistance for samples built without filling the joint vertically, indicating the need to fill it out. The tests show that the equations and expressions used for conventional masonry cannot describe the behavior of thin-joint masonry laid with polymeric compounds. For conventional masonry there is a considerable increase in the modulus of elasticity of the masonry as the compressive strength of the block used increases, however, in the case of thin joint masonry this behavior was not observed, and the modulus did not vary much with the use of blocks of different resistance levels. An equation was proposed to predict the modulus of the masonry based on the characteristics of the blocks and polymeric compounds, enabling greater precision in estimating the modulus of this type of masonry. Performance tests were carried out on wall specimens without the presence of rendering mortar or any other surface coating. The results showed satisfactory behavior for the suspended load and hard body impact tests. For the thermal shock test, moisture was observed passing to the opposite side of the wall during water spraying, indicating the need to apply a coating so that this type of masonry is capable of guaranteeing watertightness.

In engineering, a structure is designed considering its possible failure due to damage that occurs over time. In this context, in order to extend the useful life of components, avoid failures and operational problems, periodic maintenance is carried out. Several studies are conducted on maintenance based on real-time monitoring of the state of a structure, anticipating the detection of damage. The high precision and constant dependence on human resources to obtain conclusive parameters makes the process costly. Therefore, the biggest obstacle for monitoring is differentiating between damaged and undamaged structures using low-cost equipment and statistical pattern recognition algorithms. In the present work, supervised learning techniques were used to analyze simulated vibration signals and vibration signals of a structure for correlation with different types of damage. Using MATLAB, ADXL335 accelerometer and ESP-32 microcontroller to monitor the state of a simple two-story structure excited by external impact-type forces, it was possible to extract the natural frequencies and damping coefficients as main attributes for classifying the dimension of the associated damage. . At the end of the study, it was found that the different classifiers Medium Gaussian SVM, Medium KNN, Medium Tree and Linear Discriminant achieved accuracy greater than 85% to highlight the differences between damage conditions. Different performance metrics were analyzed to prove their accuracy, such as: true positive rate, true negative rate, positive predictive values, false discovery rate, false positive rate, ROC curve and AUC. By comparing the results obtained with the structure and simulated signals, the effectiveness of artificial intelligence and the feasibility of using economically accessible instrumentation to monitor structural integrity in small structures were evaluated. Despite the need for a large amount of data to obtain good results, it is believed that the model obtained can contribute to the generation of new algorithms capable of classifying different types of damage to structures.

The objective of this master's thesis is to investigate the short stories Rip Van Winkle and The legend of Sleepy Hollow - The legend of the headless horseman -, by Washington Irving, from the perspective of dialectics, in other words, of sociological criticism, as postulated by the American theorist Fredric Jameson in The political unconscious (1992) and two other great exponents, who contribute to the delineation of the theoretical contribution of the analysis: the Brazilian literary critic Antonio Candido and Roberto Schwarz, active critic in the literary sphere. In this way, we seek to investigate, in a dialogue between literature and society, or between form and content, how the two tales mobilize, in their intrinsic organization of form, the idealization of the dream of American nation-building and its identity clashes in the face of various regional, cultural, economic, and political divisions that made up a precursor and original identity of the United States, beyond the children's reading attributed to the tales nowadays. The analysis is guided by the three interpretative levels proposed by Fredric Jameson, in which the first deals with the manifest content of the work - the text itself - and its proximity to the universe of literature for children, the second deals with the social problems that interpellate the tales, and the third expands semantically, through the ideology of the form, the interpretation of the tales as inherent parts of the construction of the history of the country, of the formation of the American nation, besides clarifying, through the form itself, the reasons why the tales are attributed the classification of children's literature.

The present work seeks to understand the dynamics surrounding the right to sentence remission through reading in the Brazilian prison system. Through this process, Brazilian inmates can reduce their days of sentence by writing reviews of literary works read during their period of incarceration. In dialogue with international literature on punishment and also with authors addressing the Latin American context, the objective was to map the processes that surround the right to sentence remission through reading. To achieve this, in addition to discussing the literature on the subject, a survey of the history of the right in question was conducted up to the present day, along with interviews with individuals who, in some way, have a connection to it. Through bibliographic data, quantitative analysis, and interviews with individuals involved in remission practices, it was possible to observe that the right in question has shown good theoretical development, especially in recent decades, but limited practical development. Furthermore, it was noted that the practice of reading primarily reaches individuals with advanced educational levels, restricting itself to a small portion of the prison population.

Environmental Interpretation (IA) constitutes a set of technical, artistic and philosophical procedures, applied in order to propose the revelation of meanings, instead of simply communicating information, aiming to establish a transformative relationship between the public and the protected heritage. In this context, the present work presents a conceptual AI project proposal for the Gruta dos Paiva, located in the buffer zone of the Intervales State Park (PEI), in the State of São Paulo. The project was designed to contribute to the implementation of conservation management strategies, as the cave is one of PEI's tourist attractions. The research was developed through a systematic literature review, adaptations of the ROVUC method for field activities, interviews, dialogues and participatory seminars. The results presented correspond to a base of interpretative means, considering the attractive potential of each point of interest studied. The study presents information for more detailed discussions on proposals and standards for materials and graphic solutions, itineraries, content and interpretive panels arranged on the trails, in Gruta dos Paiva and its surroundings, through suggested routing, with the insertion of a geological itinerary, animated production for graphic representation in the audio visual hall, installation of sensory spaces to ensure local accessibility, installation of interpretive panels and personalized itinerary for the karst route.

Introduction: Comprehensive care for sexual and reproductive health still falls far short of what is recommended in guidelines, standards and protocols. That said, to achieve comprehensive care that provides an expanded clinic, it is important to highlight the role of the entities involved in this health care production process. In view of the above, professionals who work in the ESF must be trained to meet the demands in reproductive planning, while permanent education stands out, through educational technologies to strengthen care and manage important information, ensuring continued care. Research Question: What theoretical knowledge supports the development of a technological solution such as Mobile Application (APP) to optimize the assistance provided by nursing in Reproductive Planning in Primary Health Care with a view to Health Promotion? General and Specific Objectives: Develop a technological solution to optimize the assistance provided by nursing in Reproductive Planning with a view to Health Promotion; (i) Provide information to support the construction of the mobile application, through an Integrative Literature Review; (ii) Prepare content on Reproductive Planning and sexual and reproductive health care for the mobile app; (iii) Build the application interfaces with the goals for usability and accessibility in mind. Method: This is a methodological study, through the construction of a hypermedia system in four stages: modeling, navigation design, abstract design of the interface and implementation. Ethical and Legal Aspects of the Research: Considering that the integrative literature review is a systematic methodological study, from the appropriation of secondary data in the public domain, there will be no need to submit this project to an ethics and research committee, as it does not require this protocol for its development. Results: The integrative literature review brought us important evidence and support for building the application. The articles served as a basis for elaborating the construct's content through national and international references that supported the creation of the proposed technology. Discussions: In the context of health, access to information through mobile and wireless digital technologies at any time and anywhere has provided and contributed to positive transformation in the world of work, giving it an irreversible new meaning. Digital health technologies, such as this application, will support nurses within the scope of Primary Health Care in the practice and assistance of Sexual and Reproductive Health in their daily work.

Despite the demographic transition emphasizing social participation in promoting healthy aging, digital inclusion for older adults remains a challenge. Promoting digital citizenship requires specific training and validated instruments. Currently, there is no Brazilian tool to assess older adults' proficiency in using information and communication technology. Objective: Cross-culturally translate and adapt a questionnaire for older adults' computer proficiency in Brazil. Materials and Methods: A methodological study followed the literature for cross-cultural adaptation of the original U.S. Computer Proficiency Questionnaire: Assessing Low and High Computer Proficient Seniors to the Brazilian context. The methodological study included the initial translation by three independent Brazilian translators proficient in English, translation synthesis developed by the researchers of this study, backtranslation carried out by two independent U.S. translators proficient in Brazilian Portuguese, and cross-cultural adaptation through semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence, conducted by five judges from the fields of Gerontology and Gerontechnology. Finally, the questionnaire underwent a pre-test with 20 older adults residing in Curitiba/PR and Bariri/SP. Participants were recruited from a database linked to an extension project for older adults and through social media outreach. All stages of questionnaire translation, adaptation, and pre-testing were documented, including suggestions made by translators, back-translators, judges, the target population, and the researchers of this study. Results: Translations (T1, T2, T3) were analyzed by the authors of this study, and a synthesis version was developed (T123). The backtranslation of the synthesis version was submitted for approval and consensus with the original authors. After approval, a committee of judges reviewed and compared all translations. The items obtained agreement ranging from 20% to 100%. Disagreements led to replacements, such as using a webcam and video conferencing rooms instead of using a trackball and chat rooms. After corrections and revisions, the questionnaire was applied in the pre-test. Of the 20 evaluated participants, 55% were female, married, with an average age of 70.85 years (5.71), income of 5 or more minimum wages, with an average of 11.9 years of education (3-19 years), and accessing the Internet more than once a day. Half demonstrated a reported ability and willingness to answer the questionnaire through an electronic form, while the others chose to fill out the questionnaire in printed format. Participants considered the research to be extremely relevant and generally easy to understand but pointed out some items as "not clear". All suggestions made regarding the questionnaire were deemed relevant, resulting in the pre-final version titled "Computer Proficiency Questionnaire: Assessment of Older Adults with Low and High Information and Communication Technology Proficiency for the Brazilian context". This version showed excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.98. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the instrument is clear, easy to understand and high reliability, allowing future validation studies. This study represents the first step in the extensive application of this instrument in public and private initiatives aimed at digital inclusion of the seniors. However, it is crucial to highlight that the questionnaire will undergo a validation process and analysis of its psychometric properties, ensuring its quality and effectiveness in assessing technology proficiency among the elderly.

The Brazilian population is aging rapidly, with projections indicating that by 2060, 25.5% of the population will be made up of the elderly, totaling 58.2 million people. In view of this scenario, there are more and more studies covering various areas related to aging, such as health, safety, social and education. To ensure rights and effective public policies, older people have the support of Rights Councils, such as the Municipal Council for the Elderly (CMI) in São Carlos, in the interior of São Paulo, which works with government and civil society representation in various spheres of their experience. At the III Municipal Conference on the Elderly, the introduction of concepts about aging in the formal curriculum of Elementary School was approved in order to prepare students for a long life. This project aimed to verify content and conceptions about aging in public elementary schools in São Carlos. It is a descriptive, exploratory study based on qualitative-quantitative research and is integrated with a research with the CMI. An online semi-structured questionnaire was applied, after adopting ethical principles in research. The analysis was based on thematic content. A positive view of education professionals was identified about the presence of content on aging within schools, with actions based on respect and comprehensive themes related to the elderly. However, there are gaps in the understanding of aging as a content and its possible development, even with indications of various tools that center the student in the teaching-learning process. The importance of building structured content for direct development with students is highlighted. Complementary training in school management, coordination and teaching is necessary, so that the theme can be deepened in the school context, with the objective of bringing students closer to the knowledge necessary for a healthy old age, protection of the rights of older people and awareness of their own aging process.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the multi-grade environment and the teaching of English language through tasks, taking as a theoretical framework the multi-grade teaching (LITTLE, 2001; 2004; 2005), group work, and collaborative learning, in view of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory (1991; 1993), as well as its implications in language teaching and learning (DONATO, 1994; 2004; DAVIN; DONATO, 2013 and FIGUEIREDO, 2019; 2020), through the task-based approach (WILLIS, 1996; WILLIS; WILLIS, 2007 e XAVIER, 2012; 2016). Considering my own teaching practice in a private school in the interior of the state of São Paulo, where 6th and 7th-grade students are grouped in the same classroom, we start from the premise that collaborative group work can contribute to the process of learning the English language. During interactions among peers, active participation of students was observed, as they engaged in negotiations and reflections on the language, playing a significant role in the joint construction of knowledge and fostering personal development both for themselves and their peers. The study, configured as a case study, was conducted through questionnaires, the application of a task, and a research diary maintained by the teacher-researcher. Through these instruments, we obtained data that allowed us to outline the reality of interactions in a multi-grade classroom. We sought to answer the following question: What relationship can be established between the multi-grade environment and the teaching of the English language through tasks? By exploring the multiple variables involved in this environment, we hope that this work can contribute to the reflection on the development of pedagogical practices that enable students of different ages and knowledge levels to learn from each other through a participatory, critical, and reflective formation, not only understanding the learning process in which they are engaged but also utilizing the acquired knowledge, mobilizing resources to solve emerging situations.

The career of soldiers in military organizations is characterized by an initial course, the soldier training course (CFSD). Objective: To understand what generates a high motor, psychological and cognitive demand in some vital systems, as well as to know the muscular, organic and biochemical adaptations before, during and after (CFSD). Methodology: 108 volunteers initially, all recruited in CFSD 2022. The study was cross-sectional and lasted 4 months. The assessments were carried out in the initial period of the CFSD course and in the final period of the course, where pain and musculoskeletal disorders were assessed using the Nordic musculoskeletal symptoms questionnaire, psychological profile assessment using the Beck depression psychological questionnaire, questionnaire of Stress Symptoms for Adults (ISSL) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and assessment of physical performance with two Fitness and Physical Capacity Tests (TACF) with blood lactate collection, and verification of maximum oxygen consumption VO2Max. Results: 99 volunteers completed the work. The results showed us that there was a significant improvement in the recruits in the distances from the 1st to the 2nd TACF, 1st TACF 2570±288.8 vs 2nd TACF 2750±233.9, and in VO2Max, 1st TACF 45.29±6.41 vs 2nd TACF 49.10±5.19, in addition, lactate levels showed a significant increase in the 2nd TACF in relation to the 1st TACF at all moments collected. Regarding the Nordic Pain Questionnaire, there was no significant difference between the first and second questionnaires, however, when compared by regions, there was an increase in pain in the last week, especially in the lower limbs when comparing the questionnaires. Regarding the ISSL and BDI-II scores, they were higher at the first moment, with ISSL pre (M = 14.86, SE = 1.21) and post (M = 12.25, SE = 1.20) and BDI-II pre (M = 9.28, SE = 1.22) and post (M = 6.82, SE = .64) STAI scores showed a significant difference only for trait anxiety, with higher scores also in first questionnaire pre (M = 20.75, SE = .77) and post (M = 18.28, SE = .61) . As for pain perception, it was positively correlated with stress symptoms, trait anxiety indicators and depression symptoms. Depression levels were also strong, positive, and significantly correlated with anxiety and stress symptoms. Furthermore, the correlation between trait anxiety and stress scores was positive and significant. Conclusion: The results show that CFSD evolves physically and mentally, leading recruits to improve VO2Max values, distance covered in TACF, improvement/stability in musculoskeletal injuries and improvement in symptoms and psychological assessment, reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.

The term GIS (Geographic Information System) comes from the English GIS (Geographic Information System). Urban infrastructure processes use digital mechanisms and platforms that collect and map and distribute information at different urban scales. Building Information Modelling (BIM) contemplates the objective of managing the life cycle of a volume to be implemented at a local scale, while GIS works by capturing and mapping characteristics of existing urban conditions for analysis, management and prevention. The integration relationship between the BIM and GIS platforms is a promising topic for urban management processes, arising from the concept of CIM (City Information Modelling), which consists of the modelling of management flows in processes for cities or territories through the use of integration between BIM and GIS. The promising integration of BIM and GIS in urban processes on computational practices and tools help processes for Smart Cities, but it needs a dynamic between GIS and BIM platforms to reduce information loss during the process of exchange and collection of data (Import and Export). Integration has challenges in terms of reading and converting data between platforms, as the platforms were originally developed for different purposes. The research will carry out the systematic literature review (RSL) methodology, will collect the results acquired from the current state of the art on the integration strategies of BIM and GIS in various infrastructure sectors and will seek to identify their limitations, potentials, impacts and what they are the sectors with the highest adhesion to the integration of BIM and GIS, seeking to understand the frontier of knowledge through a bibliometric analysis on which are the main researches in the area, which countries that had the highest number of articles published on the integration of BIM and GIS for processes urban management and which articles were more relevant among international databases.

Land use intensification alters spatial patterns, homogenizing landscapes and limiting native vegetation to areas of low agricultural suitability. Despite being a process that has advanced throughout the tropical region, there is still much to learn about its effects on the composition and diversity of species that occupy these landscapes. In this study, I present two chapters in which: I) I use diversity and acoustic complexity as indicators of biological diversity and assess how these metrics relate to different proportions of native vegetation and degrees of heterogeneity, and II) how the proportion of native vegetation influences the richness and composition of the anuran fauna in the sampled landscapes. The results show a negative relationship between acoustic diversity and the proportion of native vegetation, while for acoustic complexity, the relationship was positive, but varied depending on the heterogeneity of the landscapes. In landscapes with higher heterogeneity, the effects of the proportion of native vegetation are greatly reduced; however, in more homogeneous landscapes, the influence of the proportion of native vegetation is strong. The anuran fauna showed an influence of the proportion of native vegetation on its richness and, especially, on the composition of the communities, with a high sharing of species in smaller proportions and a greater number of exclusive species within continuous forests. This study provides important information for biodiversity conservation in altered landscapes, contributing to the management of multifunctional landscapes that reconcile biodiversity and agricultural production.

Racism is a reality founded on the social structures of Brazil. Education is not isolated to this process, so the training of teachers faced with social contradictions became necessary. This work aims to establish connections with the use of Art in the instrumentalization of teacher training processes, aiming at the implementation of Brazilian Laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/08 within schools. The study has a qualitative and critical bias, and brings data collected with the application of questionnaires with 22 teachers and school principals who work in schools located in the State of São Paulo, in order to positively consider the use of Art and Memory as possible resources in teacher training environments.

This work describes the itinerary of a student studying Medicine at the Federal University of São Carlos in the period between 2018 and 2023. Its purpose is to expose a personal perspective on the stages experienced within the scope of medical training. It materializes, in itself, a Course Completion Work, as foreseen in the Pedagogical Political Project, in the format of a critical-reflective memorial. In this sense, the academic trajectory experienced is narrated in chronological order, describing the experiences of yet another young student inserted in a unique pedagogical sphere that constitutes the medical course structured by the active PBL (Problem Based Learning) methodology, in city of São Carlos, interior of São Paulo, Brazil. In the text, the sequential moments of the course, called educational cycles, are examined, which represent the milestones of demonstrating involvement, deepening — both theoretical and practical —, personal growth and almost always successful use of the constructivist approach to the construction of knowledge. It is noteworthy that in this work the entire set of critical-reflective analysis expressed here takes place under the insurmountable contextual perspective of the COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged the globe throughout most of the academic periods. Finally, some paradigms of medical education are problematized in light of a universe of education — more than ever — dynamic, hyperconnected and, more recently, with innovative artificial intelligence and big data technologies at our disposal.

Brazil is a large emerging economy that attracts numerous foreign investments, although there is no consensus on the effects of these investments or the factors influencing their location choice process. Accordingly, this thesis employs regional-level data to investigate the environmental impacts of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the host municipalities in the State of São Paulo, parting from a sustainable development standpoint. Moreover, a larger dataset covering foreign investments in Brazil is employed to investigate the determinants of these investments from the isomorphic pressure standpoint, and the mimetic behavior of multinational companies and their location choices are evaluated. The results suggest that FDI can be beneficial for the future sustainable development of the State of São Paulo, particularly when these companies operate in high-technology and low-technology sectors. In addition, it is advantageous to receive investments from better-developed regions with stronger institutions. Regarding the location choice process, foreign investors are likely to follow previous recent investments, especially from the same sector. This effect is moderated by these companies' previous international experience, although this effect is stronger when the companies are experienced with the Brazilian context, therefore taking more risk. As such, the results present novel evidence on the effects of FDI and the behavior of multinational companies. Hence, the presented results shine light on important implications for policymakers and future investors.

The production environment characteristic of the aerospace machining sector is the Make-to-Order, with the manufacture of small and medium production batches. Given the possibility of variation in demand, whether in volume or variety, the production system must be responsive and attend the performance targets in terms of cost, quality and time. This flexibility of production environments increases the complexity of decisions, especially in those environments that operate under high variation in the product mix and reduced delivery times. Proper production scheduling directly influences production performance goals and has a great impact on customer service performance. The work aims at the development of a system using a mixed integer programming model and a post-processing interface for temporary cell formation and orders’ allocation, considering the demand of final customer of a given period, and aiming at an optimized use of capacity in the medium term. The model is based on a real case of an aerospace machining company, and contributes to the adequate use of manufacturing resources, to an accurate decision making based on the presented scenario and to the improvement of customer service performance. The differential of the proposed model, in relation to the existing models in the literature, is the fact that it was developed considering a real manufacturing environment (empirical study), with the search for the best formation and reconfiguration of the cell considering the demand, the productive capacity and the machine setup, through the minimization of three objectives in just one model: backlog of orders, non-use of the machine by the route allocated in the cell and intercellular movement. In prior literature, hypothetical systems are modelled, and the cell formation and order allocation are done in two steps, instead of simultaneously, as in the proposed model. The management analysis of the solution obtained, in terms of load and product flows between the machines, made it possible to identify bottlenecks and idleness and possibilities for technological changes in the processes, to better meet demand and balance loads. The work will also result in a technological product for the studied company.

In this work, we developed a quantum algorithm in Adiabatic Quantum Computing for the Inventory Management Problem, adapted for factories that use gravitational shelves as the standard storage system. The main goal of the task is to determine the optimal allocation for inventory items on the warehouse shelves, minimizing the operational costs associated with the logistics of item input and output, while respecting the constraints involved. To achieve this, based on the pattern of item occurrences in the factory's demands, we devised a two-phase strategy that aims to determine the most efficient way to distribute items among the shelves. We constructed a set of Problem Hamiltonians that allow us to implement the strategy in the Adiabatic Quantum Computing model. Finally, we implemented the algorithm for a set of simple instances on D-Wave's quantum computers, a Canadian company that leads in developing devices suitable for Adiabatic Quantum Computing implementation, using a heuristic known as Quantum Annealing.

After the country's redemocratization, the main actors who continued the institutionalization of public policies were political parties. Among the legislative initiation institutes guaranteed to the Executive, provisional measures and decrees are institutional resources exclusive to presidents. At the same time, they are strategies capable of quickly changing the congressional agenda and guaranteeing the implementation of their preferences over other political actors. In this sense, this thesis aims to answer the central question of how the Executive Branch formed by governments of different ideological hues institutionalized health policy? In this sense, the hypothesis that guides the development of this research is that parties on the right of the political spectrum tend to commodify access, through the increase in complementary health to the detriment of public health, as they consider it an expense or expense that compromises the public budget. On the other hand, parties on the left tend to prioritize the expansion of redistributive and universalist policies when allocating public funds. Considering the theoretical contribution of Historical Institutionalism for the development of quantitative and qualitative research and the analysis of government programmatic documents. The main conclusion is that parties on the left of the political spectrum promoted the universalization of the Unified Health System but did not become an obstacle to the expansion of private healthcare in the country.
