The term 'engagement' initially conveys commitment between two parties, particularly in its origins, where 'engagement' represents the commitment between betrothed individuals at the moment of marriage. However, the concept of engagement is addressed in various fields of knowledge, such as psychology and applied social sciences, when referring to political and social engagement. In recent years, this concept has gained prominence among managers and academics, especially after its association with behaviors exhibited by social media users. However, its theoretical meaning and practical application are not yet well-established. Consequently, this research aims to analyze the meaning of engagement by identifying the moderating factors influencing its level across various dimensions in a business context. To achieve this objective, we conducted a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of 688 articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, aiming to comprehend the term in the context of business and its applicability. The findings revealed a lack of consensus regarding the theoretical definition, a scarcity of relevant empirical studies on its measurement, and primarily, the existence of distinct dimensions of engagement within the business context, particularly focusing on customer engagement, employee engagement, and organizational engagement. Subsequently, two research instruments were devised for customer and employee dimensions, alongside the development of an instrument based on theoretical review for the organizational dimension. These instruments underwent a four-stage validation process involving ten expert judges from the research field who are actively involved in professional practice. These experts contributed to the cultural and practical adaptations of the instruments for their application in the national context, utilizing the Content Validation Coefficient (CVC) for quantitative validation of the collected data. The validated instruments hold the potential to contribute to measuring the level of engagement across different organizational dimensions and empirically validating the concept within the national context. From an academic standpoint, the research provided a theoretical definition of engagement in the business context and proposed a new theoretical concept: engagement orientation. From a practical perspective, the research offered a definition and clarification of what engagement entails and how to strategically investigate it, aiming for superior organizational performance. Furthermore, the research opens numerous avenues for studying each dimension of engagement and its potential correlations. It also brings forth significant social contributions, as organizations, by understanding the benefits of engaged stakeholders, can strategically and practically address social and sustainable issues, ultimately aiming for a better perception of their performance

OPTIMIZATION OF THE CONTROLLED ELECTROOXIDATION OF METHANE ON THE SURFACE OF GOLD ELECTRODIES FOR THE FORMATION OF VALUE-ADDED MOULECULES: This work aims to contribute to the understanding of the partial electrooxidation of methane to methanol. The challenge of this proposal is the unfavorable reaction kinetics of this hydrocarbon in oxidizing due to its tetrahedral and non-polar molecular geometry. These factors make it difficult to break the carbon-hydrogen bond to form methyl radicals followed by the addition of oxygen, and another aspect is the molecule's low solubility in water. The most common process for obtaining methanol is by reforming methane, which requires high temperatures (700 to 1100 ºC). However, electrocatalyst systems are a promising alternative, given their ability to do this under milder conditions (25 ºC and 1 atm). In this thesis, an H-shaped electrochemical cell system was used to collect data by varying the pH, type of electrolyte, concentration and cell potential in order to create a data set that could predict, using linear and polynomial regression algorithms and support vector machines, which condition would be the most favorable for methanol production on the gold electrodes surface. In this sense, 0.1 M lithium carbonate at a potential of 0.2 V vs. Ag|AgCl and 0.1 M potassium hydroxide at a potential of 1.0 V vs. Ag|AgCl were the most promising production systems. Furthermore, the literature has always credited potential and pH as determining factors in the selectivity of electrochemical reactions, but this study shows that the radius of the cation in the selected material plays a much more important role in the electrooxidation of methane to methanol. Finally, this is a technology that can be developed in synergy with the already prestigious green hydrogen (GH2), which uses renewable or clean energy, through photoelectrocatalysis of solar energy. However, the advantage of methanol is that it is easy to store as it is a liquid, rather than an explosive gas like H2(g).

At the same time that the competitive scenario is seen in organizations, which seek to maximize profits and consumer satisfaction, there are also global concerns about increasing productivity and its impact on the environment, such as the emission of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2. To assist in decision-making and achieve reduction of economic and environmental costs, linear modeling and optimization techniques can be adopted and implemented. Through these techniques this dissertation aims to study the problem of integrated production planning and vehicle routing considering the impacts of reducing carbon emissions in furniture industries. The consideration of carbon emissions is linked to vehicle fuel emissions and applying this view brings a more realistic scenario as it considers the load transported in vehicles and speeds. Through experiments will be analyzed the gains from considering the unloading of vehicles, the speed selection that the vehicle adopts and how much the inclusion of carbon costs can affect the trade off between production and routing. An additional model was also developed that considers a heterogeneous fleet in relation to CO2 potential emission

Depression, one of the most prevalent mental disorders, significantly impacts the lives of millions worldwide. This mental disorder not only causes severe health problems but also negatively interferes with the lives of those who suffer from it, many of whom do not seek treatment. In the university population, the prevalence of depression is even higher than in the general population. This work proposes a computing infrastructure that uses digital phenotyping data collected by mobile and wearable sensors, such as smartphones and smartwatches, to identify Brazilian university students with a possible depressive profile (PPD). Adopting the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, the study develops a computational solution whose effectiveness is validated through a descriptive exploratory analysis of the collected data. This approach seeks not only to validate the feasibility of the proposed infrastructure but also to facilitate the identification of behavioral patterns associated with the PPD. The approach includes the use of the "Human in the Loop" method for removing data outliers and employs the t-SNE (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) technique for reducing high-dimensional data and identifying patterns in interpreting the results. This work aligns with the principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) intending to contribute to the areas of mental health and computing.

The “Aprender sem Limites” program, the object of this study, was created by the São Paulo Municipal Education System in 2016. It provides support to Pedagogy student interns whose objective is to monitor, evaluate and support the Special Education students, through planning and guidance from the teacher in charge of the common class and other school spaces. Thus, the present research had the general objective of understanding relevant aspects to the training of undergraduate interns in Pedagogy of the “Aprender sem Limites” Program. The specific objectives were: a) to understand the facilities and difficulties related to the interns’ performance in relation to the Special Education students, the training offered and its concepts; b) to verify whether or not the Program provide Inclusive Education, and c) to map the expectations and preparation of interns for their future professional performance. To this end, it was a descriptive and exploratory research. A questionnaire carried out via Google Forms platform to a total of 117 interns. The questionnaires were analyzed semantically by judges. The majority of participants took courses related to Special Education, with an emphasis on Libras. Their motivations in the internship program were: professional experience, learning and the salary grant. It was found that most of them worked in Early childhood education internships and indicated that the monitoring was carried out by pedagogical guidance supervision. The majority of interns answered that there were no other training meetings besides the monthly meetings. Regarding the aspects to be improved in the program, they pointed out: environment space, teaching material and initial and continuing training. It was evident that programs such as “Aprender sem Limites” play a crucial role in preparing future educators for the challenges of teaching practice.

The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) impacts both diagnosed children and their families significantly. Domains frequently affected include communication, social interaction, and restrictive and repetitive patterns of interests or activities. These patterns manifest before school age and may result in deficits in various areas of development. This study suggests that an online intervention aimed at teaching social skills may bring significant benefits to mothers of children with ASD. This can result in improvements in knowledge about ASD, increased confidence in their parenting skills, and substantial improvement in family interactions. The proposed online approach has the advantage of being accessible, overcoming geographical and logistical barriers. This is particularly relevant in contexts where resources for in-person intervention may be limited, making research an effective way to explore accessible and effective options. This study seeks to fill a gap in research and provide empirical evidence on a specific online intervention for mothers of children with ASD. The research was designed as an intervention study. By focusing on mothers and their parenting skills, this study acknowledges the importance of a supportive and understanding environment for mothers of children with ASD. The overall objective is to analyze an online intervention on social skills for mothers of children with ASD. The specific objectives of this study are: to describe common needs of mothers of children with ASD; to analyze the frequency of co-occurrence of social skills classes and themes in intervention sessions; to analyze the social validity of the intervention; and to analyze the secondary effects of the intervention on children's Social Skills repertoire. The participant sample was non-probabilistic, convenience type, with the participation of six mothers. The instruments used were: Identification Form; Brazil Economic Classification Criterion; Social Skills, Behavior Problems, and Academic Competence Inventory for Children; Social Validation Questionnaire; and Follow-up Questionnaire with mothers. Data collection involved conducting six individual training sessions with each mother, during which the researcher provided guidance on personalized strategies for each child. Additionally, it included sending support materials and continuous feedback through an instant messaging application. Records were made from the application of the instruments: researcher's field diaries, recording of all meetings held, materials, and videos shared by the mothers. For analysis, there was tabulation of specific results per instrument and descriptive data, organized thematically. ATLAS TI software was used for data analysis. The results of the Social Skills, Behavior Problems, and Academic Competence Inventory for Children indicate that there were changes in the classification of children's social skills based on the intervention conducted with the mothers. Thematic analysis occurred, which allowed dialogue with the theoretical framework in four themes: mothers' need for guidance on how to mediate interaction with peers; improving the family-school relationship; difficulty controlling children's screen time; and difficulty reporting what happened at school. The results of the ATLAS TI software indicate that "communication" was the most cited skill and "affection/cooperation" the least cited. It was evident that there is less co-occurrence between "responsibility" and "making and maintaining friendships" and "responsibility" and "affection/cooperation", with greater co-occurrence between "communication" and "social poise", as well as between "communication" and "interpersonal problem solving". Thus, the data obtained meet the proposed objectives, manage to indicate positive aspects of the proposed short-term online intervention, especially from the mothers' discourse and the results of social validation, and suggest that future research be conducted.

The Pantanal biome is of inestimable ecological importance, mainly due to its fauna and flora. However, this biome is constantly threatened by the occurrence and recurrence of forest fires, which are strongly associated with the regions climatic conditions. Thus, methods for forecasting and classifying forest fire risk are essential for forest fire prevention and firefighting planning in the Brazilian Pantanal region. The main fire risk indexes known in the literature have limitations, such as (1) not adjusting to the characteristics of each biome; (2) being limited to specific climatic variables; (3) not being able to predict forest fire risk for a given number of days. This last aspect, in particular, is of utmost relevance. Addressing it allows for coordinated planning and action by environmental authorities with adequate anticipation. Aiming to solve this problem, this study developed a software capable of: (1) Climatic variables forecasting for a given number of days; and (2) Forest fire risk classification in the Brazilian Pantanal. For the first objective, different time series prediction algorithms based on Machine Learning (ML) were tested for climactic variables forecasting. This prediction is used as input for the second objective, for which different classification algorithms, also based on ML, were tested. Such software was then improved from a exhaustive hyperparameters search approach to two different Genetic Algorithms (GAs) approaches: Traditional and NSGA-II. Results for both software versions were evaluated based on the average correlation between forest fire risk classes and hotspots' observation. The exhaustive search version demonstrated that the software can outperform the main statistical forest fire indexes regarding "Null", "Low", "High" and "Very High" classes. When it comes to the GA version, the software was competitive to the forest fire indexes, still with the advantage of being able to predict the forest fire risk for a given number of days.

Orexinergic (OX) neurons, through the release of orexins, modulate several functions including sleep- wakefulness states and central chemoreception. OX receptors are expressed in regions involved in the control and modulation of the ventilatory response to CO2, such as the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and the peduncle pontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that orexinergic neurons stimulate the commissural nucleus of solitary tract (cNTS) and PPTg during central chemoreflex activation. Using a whole-body plethysmography system, our objective was to evaluate the ventilatory response to CO2 in Wistar rats during microdialysis of the OX-1R antagonist SB-334867 (5 mM) in the cNTS and PPTg. The experiments were carried out during the light and dark phases of diurnal cycle, and the microdialysis protocols in the cNTS were performed as follow: (1) hyperoxic normocapnia (0% CO2, 93% O2) and (2) hyperoxic hypercapnia (7% CO2, 93% or 50% O2), and microdialysis protocols in PPTg in: (1) normoxic normocapnia and (2) normoxic hypercapnia (7% CO2). We observed that OX-1R antagonism in NTSc and in NTgPP caused a significant attenuation in CO2 ventilatory responses compared to vehicle during wakefulness in the light phase of the diurnal cycle. Thus, our data suggest that orexinergic signaling contributes, via OX-1R in NTSc and NTgPP, to hypercapnic chemoreflex control during wakefulness in the light phase of the diurnal cycle.

Despite having a high commercial value due to its nutritional and sensory properties, avocado oil is still a product that has yet to be widely used in Brazil. In this sense, the general objective of this work was to evaluate the quality attributes and understand the production chain of Brazilian avocado oil. The experimental part of this project was divided into three stages. First, the characterization of avocado oil samples produced in Brazil was carried out regarding the quality parameters. Steps 2 and 3 consisted of conducting two surveys via an online form to understand the avocado oil production chain and market. It was observed that the AA1 avocado oil sample had a high content of free fatty acids and a higher chlorophyll concentration than the AA2 sample. Additionally, both samples demonstrated resistance to oxidation and maintenance of chlorophyll content during 30 days of storage at room temperature. The present work also presented a survey of information on the avocado oil production and market chain, which allows for a better understanding of the characteristics, potential, and weaknesses of this segment in Brazil.

This study seeks to understand the cognitive biases and heuristics that influence decision-making and strategy adoption in Brazilians' personal investments. To achieve the general objective of the present study, which is to relate the investment behavior of Brazilians with the biases and heuristics listed in behavioral finance, a literature review was carried out on the topic of behavioral finance, focusing on identifying the main heuristics and biases. In addition, characteristics of Brazilians were identified through the study of Investor X-Ray surveys by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Market Entities (ANBIMA). In summary, the analysis of investor X-ray data demonstrated that there is a large discrepancy in reality between classes A, B and C and classes D and E with regard to financial knowledge and behavior. Most of the Brazilians investigated were unable to make some type of investment or save money, due to unsatisfactory financial conditions, in addition to a high percentage not knowing any type of investment on the market.

Intelligent packaging are systems capable of communicating the conditions of the packed food and different approaches can be used to produce such packaging, for instance, the production of quality indicators based on components that change their color when stimulated by the environment. Among these, anthocyanins stand out as non-toxic natural compounds whose color is pH dependent. Colorimetric films containing anthocyanins can be obtained using starch as a polymeric matrix, an abundant, eco-friendly, and low-cost natural polymer. However, starch films have low resistance to moisture, which is worsened upon anthocyanins incorporation. In this thesis, it was proposed the obtaining of colorimetric sensory films based on starch and anthocyanin extracts incorporated with beeswax (30%, m/m) as a hydrophobizing agent. The films were obtained by continuous solution casting to scale up their production, thus filling the scientific gap in suitable processing techniques for colorimetric sensors based on anthocyanins. The scientific perspective of this thesis was expanded by exploring hibiscus, banana bracts, and jaboticaba peels as sources of anthocyanins and their influence on the physical properties and performance of the starch sensors. The incorporation of extracts and beeswax modified the mechanical properties of the films, whose tensile strength and elastic modulus being 60% and 70% lower, respectively, and elongation at break 400% greater than those of films containing only the extracts. Furthermore, the presence of beeswax reduced the water vapor permeability by 40% and increased surface hydrophobicity in 70% of the sensory films, but without significantly influencing their optical properties. All starch/beeswax/anthocyanin films were sensitive to NH3, a volatile compound released during the rotting of some foods, at a concentration equal to 100 µg m-2, guaranteeing their potential application in intelligent packaging.

This master's research examines the legitimization strategies employed by Olavo de Carvalho in his attempt to establish authority within the intellectual field as a professor and philosopher. We analyzed his literary works and his activity on social media, focusing on the symbolic dispute he engages in with the philosopher Marilena Chauí, a faculty member in the Philosophy Department at the University of São Paulo (USP). In addition, we collected data on the individuals most frequently mentioned by Olavo de Carvalho in order to contextualize his work. We investigated how he seeks legitimacy in cultural production, the specific strategies he employs, and the role of conservatism in shaping his intellectual formation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the legitimization strategies adopted by public intellectuals in the contemporary intellectual landscape.

Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) cover a wide range of human-nature interactions that provide basic life support, material and non-material goods for humanity, and can be evaluated by quantifying the benefits provided by ecosystems as an incentive for their preservation. Pollination is the most studied NCP worldwide, as it contributes to 35% of global food production, providing food security with the diversity of foods with important nutritional value. In this sense, foods dependent on the pollination service can be an important source of nutrients for children and adolescents in the learning phase. In school meals provided by the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), agricultural products make up an adequate menu in nutritional terms, and the diversity of these foods may be related to the pollination service. Therefore, the objective of this work was to identify the dependence of the pollination service on food provided for school meals in public schools in the Limeira microregion and to estimate the economic value of this pollination service. The database was built with information from invoices for purchases made within the scope of the PNAE for eight municipalities belonging to the microregion. The results showed that 49% of fresh or minimally processed foods depend to some degree on the pollination service and the economic value of this service was estimated at around one million reais. It is concluded that there was an impact of the pollination service on school meals in the Limeira micro-region, promoting food security and helping family farmers in the micro-region in the diversified production of agricultural products rich in nutrients. More studies in this sense can be carried out to assist decision makers in creating public policies to protect pollinators.

Landscape fragmentation compromises biodiversity and ecosystem connectivity. This study modeled restoration scenarios based on Payment for Ecosystem Services programs, aiming to integrate environmental benefits. Restoration scenarios were analyzed using low natural agricultural suitability areas currently covered by pastures within rural properties in the Vale do Paraíba Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil. Using land use data and geographic information system tools, two restoration scenarios were modeled. The integral restoration scenario, which included all restoration areas, increased forest cover by 27.35% and average connectivity by 31.85%, connecting fragments and creating new habitats, with 134,498 hectares restored. The partial restoration scenario, focusing on selected restoration areas, increased forest cover by 72,182 hectares, prioritizing the expansion of fragments larger than 60 hectares, boosting average connectivity by 26.82% while optimizing resources. Both scenarios increased areas with very high connectivity and reduced areas with very low connectivity, with the most significant differences observed in intermediate connectivity classes. The study highlights that restorations facilitated by Payment for Ecosystem Services programs can reduce fragmentation and enhance regional sustainability, providing a basis for public policies that align biodiversity conservation with climate change mitigation

This dissertation is about memories of a social worker from Espírito Santo. The author uses the process of a trip as an analogy, associating the research elements with items such as maps, itineraries, luggage and photographs. She had multiple encounters and interactions during her Multiprofessional Residency with the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). She researched the local challenges in management and care for people in severe psychological distress. The author was encouraged by the recently created school of public health in the State of Espírito Santo - ICEPi - Instituto Capixaba de Ensino, Pesquisa e Inovação em Saúde, to broaden her professional knowledge by furthering her professional experience in another academic setting as well. She pursued the Professional Master Degree in Clinical Management at The Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar-SP). In a clear, deep, engaging and provocative way, the researcher sought to understand and analyze the perception of resident professionals who attended ICEPi's Multiprofessional Residency Program in Mental Health (PRM-SM) between March 2021 and February 2023. Its focus was the development of attributes for the competence of collaborative interprofessional practice in the SUS. In a diverse and innovative linguistic proposal, the author organized a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory research, broadly intersected by narrative resources. She used a narrative method for her data collection instrument, and presented her writing according to scientific standards. Based on a brief survey, the study entailed the forming of critical, reflective narratives which were created individually by the residents participating in the research. It was followed by integrating these discourses into a single synthesized narrative which was validated by the collection itself. Based on this data and anchored on theoretical references of Health Care, Multiprofessional Residencies in the SUS and Interprofessional Education, the author identified three thematic axes: Education-Teaching, Work-Service, and Care-Community. She merged the data in three areas of perceptions: representations, learning, and contributions. Guided by hermeneutic-dialectic analysis, the researcher revealed potentialities and gaps in training. She pointed out that the PRM-SM has contributed to the development of a collaborative interprofessional practice in the SUS, and the need for complementary scientific research should be carried out in order to affirm the real effectiveness of the Program for Interprofessional Education for the SUS. The findings of this research also identify that interprofessionality would be enhanced through education and training because it sustains, reinforces, and consolidates the work and care processes expected through the SUS. In a poetic and philosophical closing, the author uses the short story by Zadig, “Destiny”, written by the French enlightener Voltaire. By demarcating its implications in work and life, the researcher calls us to a final reflection: it is urgent to rescue the essence of our human identity, whose realization is both unique to the individual and integrated with his/her community.

This doctoral thesis addresses the research problem: "How can music recommendation systems be improved to more effectively integrate interaction context and user experience?". In response to this question, the research develops and evaluates UConteXt Arch, an architecture for music recommendation systems. This architecture is designed to enhance the user experience, explicitly considering the interaction context and musical preferences. The methodological approach adopted is Design Science Research (DSR), which enables iterative and cyclical analysis in the development of UConteXt Arch. The architecture is based on theories and research into recommendation systems, user experience, and contextual personalization. The development of UConteXt Arch involved a systematic literature review and exploratory studies of current practices on platforms such as Spotify and Deezer. The evaluation of UConteXt Arch included a variety of methods, such as the Communicability Assessment Method (MAC), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), UX Curves, and the Method of Intermediate Semiotic Inspection (MISI). These methods confirmed the effectiveness of the architecture in delivering accurate and adaptable music recommendations in line with changing user preferences and contexts. The architecture also addresses the ``cold-start'' challenge by implementing immediate feedback mechanisms and continuous learning to improve recommendations. The thesis concludes that UConteXt Arch represents a solution to the identified problem, demonstrating that it can significantly improve music recommendation systems by more effectively integrating interaction context and user experience. This study helps improve the quality of music recommendations and enriches the user experience, making a substantial contribution to the field of music recommendation systems.

The central aim of this thesis was to identify, describe and understand the educational processes that emerge from the social practice of ceramic creation carried out by female ceramic artisans in the Alto Vale do Ribeira. This region is located in the largest continuous area of Atlantic Forest preservation in Brazil. In the midst of this place, the ceramic practice has been carried out according to techniques passed down between generations in rural neighborhoods, retaining in the different characteristics of the activity ancestral indigenous and quilombola teachings, which have validated its production, as well as presenting characteristics that demonstrate its peculiar and expressive improvement supported by the individuals' own taste. Despite the contemporaneity of popular creation and the appreciation of each cultural universe, we understand that artistic creation as a symbolic expression of human beings reveals meanings related to aesthetics, but also the values of individuals and groups in the social practices they experience. Considering the practices of popular groups as a field of research that generates relevant educational processes in the shaping of identities, values and attitudes goes hand in hand with recognizing that the historical production of human beings is supported by their perception of their time-space, and that it is concretized to the extent that they objectify it, in other words, they integrate it and produce and reproduce themselves in it through the senses and meanings elaborated in their experience of the world. We therefore turn to this ceramic social practice, with the aim of finding the dimensions that can strengthen the notions of the links between creation and tradition in this place. This is a qualitative study based on phenomenology, the situated phenomenon modality. Interviews were carried out to collect data, using photographs taken by the researcher during the ceramic production activities of the potters from the Alto Vale do Ribeira. From the analysis of the data, two categories of educational processes were obtained: A) "Do you want to make clay pots with me?" centered on the ceramicists' memories and experiences that have shaped their life trajectories of encountering the ancestry of ceramic making; B) "I really like working with clay", referring to the principles that legitimize the practice of ceramic creation in the popular work with clay, which affirm social identities while expressing and renewing their collective meaning. Among the educational processes revealed, we can highlight the role of ancestry in each artisan's relationship with the context, as well as the strengthening of notions of otherness in ceramic making in their intrinsic ability to learn-by-doing with each other by valuing what is specific to their cultures. Faced with different challenges in order to keep going, potters have shown that solidarity, respect, collaboration and cooperation are elements of this social practice.

Energy dissipation in systems, such as solid-gas and solid-liquid, can occur in several ways, including resistance to motion, interfacial interactions, deformation, and particle collision. In gas-solid flows, the main energy dissipation occurs due to plastic deformation, internal friction or elastic losses during interactions between particles or between particles and surfaces. On the other hand, in liquid flows, factors such as surface tension, adhesion and dissipative forces are relevant. One of the ways to measure this dissipation is by measuring the restitution coefficient, a dimensionless coefficient given by the ratio between the restitution and impact velocities. In liquids, this parameter is also related to the liquid's ability to dissipate energy during a collision and is called the effective coefficient of restitution. The study of this dissipation is crucial to understanding system behavior, optimizing processes, and designing efficient devices. In this context, this work aims to investigate the various factors involved in collisions that affect the restitution coefficients and the effective restitution coefficient. To this end, commercial particles of ABS, porcelain, carbon steel (coated or not with a polymeric film), polypropylene and high alumina were characterized in terms of density, diameter and Young's modulus and used in experimental particle-surface collision tests. In tests in air, the results showed a decreasing trend in the coefficient of restitution with the increase in the number of successive impacts in collisions and the ratio of particle diameter/thickness of the collision plate. Furthermore, the influence of material properties on the restitution coefficient values was observed, including the effect of a polymeric film covering carbon steel spheres. In liquid experiments, effective restitution coefficient results were obtained at different concentrations of glycerin solution, and a directly proportional relationship was observed between the increase in this parameter and the Stokes number. Finally, experimental data from the literature were used to validate a proposed correlation for predicting the dry restitution coefficient as a function of particle properties, wall thickness and impact velocity. The results demonstrated that the correlation satisfactorily described the experimental data and proved to be an effective tool in predicting this parameter.

The golden-headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas) (Kuhl, 1820) belonging to the family Callitrichidae is a New World primate that is classified as endangered in the wild. Leontopithecus chrysomelas is an endemic species of the Atlantic Forest occurring in forest remnants and cabruca areas of Bahia. Due to loss, fragmentation and disconnection of habitat, the species is in population decline, requiring studies and actions aimed at its preservation. The identification of diseases that affect New World primates is of great importance in public health and in situ and ex situ conservation programs, due to the risk of anthropogenic influences creating conditions for infectious diseases to decimate entire populations of wild animals. Therefore, the investigation of diseases in these animals is of great relevance for conservation medicine and for the purposes of One Health. A retrospective survey of the clinical case series and deaths involving individuals of Leontopithecus chrysomelas from the São Paulo Zoo was carried out from January 2016 to July 2023, through the analysis of medical records, findings from clinical/physical, hematological, histopathological examinations, ultrasonographic and necropsy findings, to evaluate the case series, clinical manifestations and diagnoses. The data was spreadsheeted and the changes analyzed. Thirty-eight individuals were treated by the Veterinary Medicine Sector at the São Paulo Zoo, in a total of 196 care carried out. Nineteen deaths occurred during the period under study. Although hepatic/hepatobiliary disease/hepatic failure was the most evident clinical case during the consultations, and several of the animals presented gallstones and/or hepatic neoplasia, in the final diagnoses (histopathological examination after necropsy) and cause of death the most common disorders affected the renal system.
