After the extended periods of drought that occurred in 2014-2015 in the state of São Paulo, the greater Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, felt what in fact is a water crisis scenario, discussions regarding water availability in Brazil and its heterogeneity of distribution between the Brazilian states and the basin management quality has been growing and gaining attention from the entire population. With the population growth and the accelerated expansion of urban centers, often unplanned, providing drinking water with proper availability, quality and pressure to the entire Brazilian population becomes a difficult task in this context. In view of the above, this work addresses the topic of water losses in supply systems with focus on the distribution networks, gathering information on the definitions of real and apparent losses, its main causes, economic and environmental impacts, and some of the main combat strategies against the losses. The goal is to carry out a bibliographical review regarding the state of the art on the topic of water losses and demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of relevant topics necessary to understand and combat the phenomenon of losses in distribution networks. The collection of searched data and academic papers demonstrate that at a national level, Brazil has high loss rates and several studies show that the reduction of losses can make significant contributions to the supply capacity of the distribution networks and can reduce the economic and enviromental losses related to water for the the entire society.

The universalization of basic sanitation in Brazil still faces challenges in all its dimensions - water supply, sewage disposal, drainage and rainwater management and solid waste management - especially in the peripheral areas of large urban centers. The accelerated and disorderly growth of cities has intensified the construction of precarious settlements around urban centers, since public actions and services have been more concentrated in these places. Despite the visible importance of these services for public health, a history of public policies, laws and the definition of a legal framework to achieve maximum service in these regions, the universalization of sanitation is still a challenge due to the lack of accessibility to services. The PAC (Growth Acceleration Program) in 2007 was a program of great importance for the basic sanitation sector, since more financial and structural investment was directed towards the country, but it was not enough. The aim of this study was therefore to gather data on the sanitation situation in Brazilian slums, in order to identify the current situation and the difficulties faced in universalizing these environmental services in outlying areas. The lack of planning in city management and the constant increase in irregular housing have resulted in improvised solutions, greater real estate irregularity and the inaccessibility of companies and consortia to provide sanitation services. The complexity of the challenge of providing basic sanitation in the country is aggravated by the unequal distribution of these services, predominantly affecting slum dwellers, the illiterate, the poor and other vulnerable social groups. The access deficit in these groups highlights the need for more inclusive and universal public policies. The progress made in terms of sanitation in the communities is notable in the region that already has greater access to services, showing that the other regions of the country still need attention from the public authorities.

Chemistry teaching in the final years of elementary school is done within the science discipline. In the ninth year, according to the BNCC, students should learn about atomic models, emphasizing the evolution process of these models over time. One topic usually addressed within this ability is electronic distribution through the Linus Pauling diagram. In this context, the objective of this work was to develop a didactic sequence in order to present Schroedinger's atomic model and, through this, explain the origin of the Linus Pauling diagram for ninth year students from a private school in Sorocaba. The didactic sequence included some themes of quantum mechanics, and featured: a previous activity, an expository class, the elaboration of an electronic distribution model and a final activity. The analysis of the responses to the activities showed that there was advancement in the understanding of the concepts of quantum mechanics by students, even at the introductory level. The atomic representations designed by them after the sequence corroborate the perception of advancement in the understanding of the atomic structure. In addition, the concrete model helped students better understand the new concepts, both during their development and their use to exercise electronic distribution. The application of the sequence allowed to conclude that students in the final years are able to learn concepts of modern physics and that the conceptual discussion in this type of content is very enriching for the maturation of the teaching-learning process. Through these discussions, the exchange between peers and development of the concrete model, students have the possibility of achieving meaningful learning, connecting new concepts to the old and advancing beyond mechanism associated with memorization processes.

The top tier soccer coaches of the male brazilian teams have a plethora of specific knowledge to act in thein field, such knowledge was acquired through study and practical experiences. Those studies are the focus of this monograph, conducting a review of previous information and, then, analyze the formation of the coaches that worked in the clubs of the A Series in the Brazilian Male Soccer Championship 2023. Therefore, the research objective consists in interpret and analyze the formative process of the soccer coaches that worked in said championship. We used qualitative methodological bases, conducting documental and bibliographical research, respecting the obtained information using the documental technique to expose collected data in the most evident way. Then we conducted the analysis, categorizing and adding the obtained results with the courses from the considered institutions, looking for the general characterístics surrounding the coach profession in Brazil. The CONMEBOL and UEFA confederations have established minimal requirements to federations and institutions within each country, qualifying their soccer coaches in different levels. These courses aim to elevate the technical and tactical patterns of playing, and even with the standardization of courses there are differences in cultural formation regarding styles and approaches from coaches. That is due to the way they played and learned throughout their lives, making them unique and different in the plethora of technical and tactical knowledge passed on the elite brazilian soccer players, creating a diversity of technical and tactical applications that are seen within the field.

Public higher education institutions in Brazil are legally obligated to develop Solid Waste Management Plans (PGRS), emphasizing environmental responsibility and sustainable waste management. Thus, this study was conducted through documentary analysis of the PGRS at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) and the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), following the guidelines of the National Solid Waste Plan (PNRS) and other applicable regulations. Both institutions were selected, and the analysis was carried out based on items established in a checklist, in addition to using the SWOT matrix. The analysis of both plans revealed gaps, particularly concerning environmental liabilities, shared responsibility actions, and the scope of waste types on campuses. It was observed that few Brazilian public universities have an identifiable online PGRS. In this context, collaboration between universities and government bodies becomes crucial to align policies with the institutions' needs and capacities, promoting an integrated and sustainable approach to solid waste management. For future research, it is suggested to analyze the implementation of PGRS in international universities and different types of educational institutions, seeking a better understanding of their effectiveness in waste management and handling.

Waterproofing is one of the most crucial stages in civil construction. Recent studies have reported significant improvements in the waterproofing behavior of mortars containing bentonite. However, the addition of high percentages of this additive can result in a reduction in the consistency and fluidity of mortars, affecting the hydration process of Portland cement and the final properties of the products. In this context, this dissertation aimed to evaluate the use of activated sodium or calcic bentonite as a low-cost waterproofing additive in the preparation of optimized polymeric mortars. For this purpose, the preparation of a commercial mortar and others formulated (based on ratios of 3.5:1 and 3:1 – ratio of solid:liquid components) containing varied amounts (0-6 wt.%) of activated sodium and calcic bentonite was carried out. The chosen bentonites were characterized, and the performance of the mortars was evaluated through tests of fluidity, water absorption, mechanical resistance, watertightness tests, and microstructural analysis. The results indicated differences in the chemical composition of the bentonites, with activated sodium having smaller particle size, higher reactivity, and, consequently, three times greater swelling (25 ml/2g) than calcic bentonite (8 ml/2g). In general, all analyzed mortars showed reduced flow with the addition of bentonites. Furthermore, a significant reduction (6.17%) in water absorption was observed in samples containing 6wt.% of activated sodium bentonite compared to the reference mortar. Watertightness tests confirmed the applicability of mortars prepared with 2wt.% of calcic or sodium bentonite. The incorporation of up to 2wt.% of activated sodium bentonite into the commercial formulation resulted in an 18.6% reduction in water penetration after 48 hours under positive pressure of 0.25 MPa.

In the scenario of climate transformations, water resources play a vital role, emphasizing the urgent need to preserve, manage, and adapt humanity's water sources to ensure sustainability and well-being for future generations. Within this context, hydrological modeling is essential to understand flow patterns and risks associated with extreme events such as floods. Accordingly, this study focuses on hydrological modeling in the Embu Mirim River Basin, located in the state of São Paulo (UGRHI-06), with a focus on predicting critical precipitation intensities and, consequently, peak flows. Using the I-PAI-WU method, an enhancement of the rational method for basins between 2 and 200 km², the research aims to analyze and predict maximum water flows in the region. The methodological process included basin delineation using geoprocessing tools, adopting the calculation algorithm specified for the chosen hydrological model, and utilizing rainfall equations from various sources for municipalities within the basin. Although the results indicated a very small variation in precipitation intensity values for Itapecerica da Serra (an increase of 2%), a significant increase (28%) in critical rainfall values was observed for Embu das Artes, demonstrating a noteworthy alteration in the rainfall pattern for this locality. Consequently, the peak flow results followed the same trend. It is noteworthy that, in this modeling, a hypothetical scenario was considered, disregarding the presence of downstream flowregulating structures such as dams. Finally, the I-PAI-WU method proved to be of simple application, requiring basic data such as precipitation intensity, drainage area, runoff coefficient, and spatial distribution factor of rainfall, making it suitable for small and mediumsized basins and short-duration rainfall events.

The newest far-right authoritarian wave in Brazil, represented primarily by the coming of some sectors of the New Right reaching power, is not necessarily something new in Brazilian history. Considering it is that even before the military dictatorship, it had been a mass movement that had a far-right nature and an undemocratic point of view named Ação Integralista Brasileira, and just as recent movements it also spread to society through its intellectuals located in strategic places in society. Thus, the research question: "What the Brazilian integralist intellectuals can teach us about the intellectuals of the New Right?" becomes indispensable. The intended purpose is to analyze the arguments and discourses in selected works of five intellectuals, three of Brazilian Integralism (Plínio Salgado, Gustavo Barroso, and Miguel Reale) and two of the New Right (Olavo de Carvalho, Rodrigo Constantino). The object of study to be analyzed will be the relations between the intellectuals of both movements. For that analysis, it will use the qualitative approach to its methods to analyze its similarities and dissidence.

The present study, grounded in a critical and reflective analysis of the author's formative journey, sheds light on relevant concepts for the construction of the medical professional identity in students — a theme gaining prominence in various medical schools worldwide, emphasizing the importance of education focused on character development and the promotion of virtues. The objective is to investigate how the constructivist educational model and the integrated theory-practice curriculum, both foundational aspects of the UFSCar medical course, influence identity formation. Additionally, the study seeks to reflect on intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting students that facilitated or hindered such formation. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted, supported by data triangulation analysis, grounded in extensive systematic reviews and qualitative metasyntheses on the subject. Data were collected and analyzed with a phenomenological emphasis, centered on reading and interpreting entries in the student's reflective portfolio. These were presented in synoptic tables condensing practical elements derived from dialogues with authors, outlining their influence on medical identity construction, and specifying intrinsic/extrinsic facilitators and barriers to formation. The finding that early exposure to professional practice in this educational model significantly and positively influences various aspects of medical professional identity formation is a noteworthy contribution of this study. Similarly, the constant emphasis on activity reflection and encouragement of active learning reinforces the conclusion that new medical courses with constructivist methodologies are more aligned with the identity formation of physicians who genuinely adhere to societal principles. However, areas requiring improvement and constant vigilance were highlighted. More than a synthesis of the student's practical journey, this study constitutes an object contributing to the construction of the author's professional identity. It is the composition of a symphony whose notes are intrinsic to experiences that have been reverently embraced. Revisiting the past illuminates the path of the present, providing insights that transcend time and guide the future journey.

The present study seeks to assess the productive capacity of seedlings and seeds in Brazil, identifying the main actors in the reforestation market and the associated challenges, in the context of the goals established by the Paris Agreement. The methodology employed involves literature review and quantitative analysis, aiming to detail the role of the companies involved and the dynamics of this market. The results showed a notable growth of the sector after the Paris Agreement, highlighting the consultancy services and the generation and commercialization of carbon credits. However, currently, without considering the country's natural regeneration, the production of seedlings and seeds is insufficient to meet the reforestation target of 12 million hectares committed at COP21. The contributions of this work are significant for the decision-making by companies, investors, research institutions, and public policy makers, providing a knowledge base that can guide initiatives to achieve environmental sustainability goals and position Brazil as a leader in low greenhouse gas emissions. The discussion emphasizes the need for expansion and improvements in the seedling production segment, both in terms of quantity, with the construction of more nurseries, and quality, through the development of new technologies, reproduction protocols, and the development of new public policies that facilitate this process. The conclusions point to the urgency of strategies addressing the gap in production and the lack of skilled labor, proposing measures for the training of professionals and the encouragement of reforestation project execution.

The development of integrated biorefineries, based on the complete utilization of plant biomass and the production of bioproducts such as biofuels, is an important strategy in replacing the global energy matrix with more sustainable processes, thus contributing to decarbonization and reducing dependence on fossil resources. However, one of the main obstacles still encountered is that the use of some plant biomasses, such as sugarcane and corn, raises the debate of competition between advances in bioproduct production and food production. According to the United Nations (UN), the world population is growing at an accelerated pace, resulting in an increasing demand for food to meet the needs of this expanding population, making food security a priority in the strategic plans of countries. In this context, this work aimed to conduct a critical analysis of the impact of bioproduct production on global food security. For this purpose, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on the discussion related to the use of food resources and agricultural land for bioproduct production. Different perspectives were explored based on real data obtained from public reports and published studies. One of the central discussions is the need to find alternatives to increase the productivity of land dedicated to food production, as well as the development of new technologies for the production of alternative foods, such as plant-based protein, which can help meet the population's demand for quality nutrients. Additionally, second-generation raw materials (2G) are explored as a strategy to increase bioproduct productivity without using food raw materials. Finally, it was identified that waste has a much greater impact on food security than biofuel production.

Early Childhood Education, the first stage of Basic Education, includes the dimensions of caring, educating and playing. This phase is responsible for the child's first contact with a new environment, routine and people, moving them away from their family environment. Therefore, attention is needed during this period of adaptation, with the family being the protagonist and fundamental to its success. When you have a child with a disability or autism, family dynamics undergo changes, which must be based on the specific needs of the children. Thus, when entering Early Childhood Education, children with disabilities can cause insecurity in their parents. Establishing a relationship of trust between the family and the school becomes essential in this scenario. Therefore, the present study sought to analyze the school adaptation of children with disabilities, according to the families' opinions. The study design was descriptive and exploratory in nature. It had the participation of five parents, who carried out the interview in person or remotely, depending on their preference, guided by a semi-structured script. Through the results, it was understood that families enrolled their children with disabilities in Early Childhood Education with a view to their development and socialization. However, in some cases the adaptation process is still not successful, mainly because there are no exchanges with the institution before entry and during the child's stay at school. Legal services and adaptations to activities have not yet been observed, requiring the child himself to adapt to what was offered. The Early Childhood Education institution contributed to the development of children, from the parents' perspective. Furthermore, the effective relationship between the family and the school is not present, contributing to the feeling of distrust in relation to the work carried out by education professionals. For effective communication, it is important to invest in continued training of the school team, quick and easy contact between both parties and the promotion of an inclusive school culture, which provides space for parents to express their concerns, benefiting the school community as a whole

Chromatographic processes are extremely important for protein and other biomolecules with high added value purification and represent a large portion of the production cost in the industry. Ion exchange chromatography is a widely used chromatographic method for separating proteins on a preparative scale, based on their interaction with positive or negative charges present in the stationary phase with the starting chemical components on the liquid phase. In each chromatographic process, operational conditions need to be evaluated, both in the loading and elution stages. There’s a variety of factors that impacts the process and its quality. Among the most important factors are the characteristics of the mobile phase, such as the concentration of chemical components, equilibrium shifting agents, the medium ionic force and the pH. The development of chromatographic processes is dense and expensive, and the application. Thus, the work proposes the use of a scheme with pipette tips loaded with anion exchange chromatographic resin. Q-Sepharoses and BSA protein were chosen for the tests. To obtain parameters that characterize both the loading and the elution part of the chromatographic process, the influence of an equilibrium shifting agent (NaCl) was evaluated. In experimental terms the process for washing the tips was defined, allowing them to be reused in the tests. Finally, it was verified that this method presents consistent and reproducible results for obtaining these parameters, bringing benefits in relation to the amount of material used, reducing costs and the time to obtain these parameters.

The presence of women in the academic world has been fraught with difficulties throughout the history of science. Even though they are gradually conquering their space, there is still a great deal of differentiation between men and women, such as the segregation of areas of knowledge considered feminine and masculine. One of the causes of this issue is the presence of stereotypes about the image of the scientist, who is often seen as a man, wearing a lab coat, with messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, crazy, among other adjectives. In this context, this study aims to map the perceptions, classified by age and gender, of students aged between 8 and 17 about scientists and the presence of women in science and to propose an intervention through the production of a podcast. The activity was divided into two stages. First, the students were given a questionnaire and took the "Draw a Scientist" (DAST) test in order to understand their preconceptions about scientists. In the second stage, the students discussed the presence of women in science, using another questionnaire and the presentation of educational videos about female scientists. With this information, they discussed their perceptions and hypotheses about the reasons for not knowing about women scientists, as well as the difficulties of being a woman in science. In order to spread the word about women in science, a podcast was produced. The results showed that the students had the same stereotypical ideologies about scientists as those reported in the literature and initially believed that the invisibility of women in science was their own choice. During the discussion, the younger students showed a certain immaturity and did not understand the importance of the debate, but the girls (of all ages) and the older students showed concern and anger about the issue. In conclusion, the work achieved its objective by investigating students' perceptions of scientists and introducing them to women in science, with the difficulties they face. In addition, the proposed intervention through the podcast allowed us to go beyond the scope of research and advance scientific dissemination, as well as contributing to a critical-citizen education.
