Since 2017, electronic games have been included in the school Physical Education curriculum through the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). This addition seems appropriate since we, as future teachers, are always in contact with students who have different interests and potentialities that can be approached in class in the most diverse ways, including the use of available technological means or, from these means, convert them into an educational setting. Furthermore, electronic games are part of the vast majority of the population of children and adolescents, whether on cell phones or desktop computers (notebooks, desktops) and many use them as entertainment. Due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic and the necessary social isolation, this interaction seems to have become more present and users share their interests and achievements in games with their colleagues/friends even from a distance. Based on these considerations, the objective of this research was to analyze the teaching and learning process of the thematic unit of electronic games in Physical Education classes. For this, we used qualitative research, in which a 7th year class of elementary school, final years, belonging to a state public school in the city of São Carlos/SP was monitored. The data collection instruments were field diaries, prepared by the researcher after each class taught by the Physical Education teacher, as well as a semi-structured interview with the teacher in question and a questionnaire for the students. After collecting and qualitatively analyzing the data, we arrived at the following categories: a) Learning potentials, which dealt with how electronic games contribute through different relationships between generations, how cell phone or computer applications contribute to access health, as well as the approximation of the thematic unit of games and games and the approximation of the virtual to the real; b) Pedagogical practice, where the teacher's strategies, the coexistence between students and teacher were observed, in addition to class time and the exchange of knowledge; c) Availability of access (content, courses, alternative proposals), the latter dealt with the lack of specific training in the area and the importance of the continuous relationship between university and school. In this way, the records sought to create possibilities for future interventions in gamification processes, with electronic games as a background as a learning tool in Physical Education classes through playful activities with adapted contextualized games.

The need to reflect on how to improve teaching practice and face the challenges posed by children's in-person return to Early Childhood Education spaces after the covid-19 pandemic permeates this research. This is an investigation carried out in a Municipal Early Childhood Education Center in the municipality of São Carlos/SP, which sought to understand how five-year-old children re-established their experiences in the Early Childhood Education school when they returned to activities in person, after the control of the covid-19 pandemic, using photography as a strategy for participation and protagonism. In order to carry out this study, the methodology adopted followed a qualitative approach whose chosen method was Case Study. The theoretical framework of this study is based on Paulo Freire, to discuss Democratic Education; Lev S. Vigotski and the Historical-Cultural Theory, to lead the discussion on children's development through interaction in the social and cultural environment; Júlia Formosinho and João O. Formosinho, to deal with participatory pedagogies in which the children are at the center of the knowledge-building process; Carla Rinaldi in her notes on the importance of listening in the teaching-learning process; Boris Kossoy and Roland Barthes contribute with a theoretical basis on photography, which is an important element in this study. The data used in the research are the images produced by the children and the teacher, as well as the teacher's pedagogical documentation. This study made it possible to reflect on the practice of photographic recording as a listening strategy in early childhood education, as well as a form of expression that allows the teacher to develop a more detailed view of the children's experiences. In the research, the photographic record made by the children was approached as a way of interacting and playing a leading role in the educational process, providing new experiences for the children and the teacher through the exercise of observation and listening and also through the construction of their pedagogical documentation, for which photographic production with and by the children was an essential element. By looking at her own practice and giving visibility to the children's protagonism, the teacher became the protagonist and the children appropriated new conceptions built up in the educational context.

This work was motivated by the current technological scenario in which we live, where people are increasingly connected on social networks, generating a vast amount of data daily. If used appropriately, these data can provide valuable insights in the digital market. By combining this source of information with modern methods of artificial intelligence, more specifically, machine learning algorithms, we were able to study the main characteristics that drive the popularity of a post on Instagram. In our research, we used a real database with profile information from 1887 Instagram users. Initially, we explored the data through statistical methods to understand its disposition and composition. Then, we selected the variables of interest and greater relevance to predict the popularity of a publication, using techniques such as feature importance through the LightGBM algorithm on the training set. Subsequently, we normalized the selected continuous variables and modeled the data using both the LightGBM algorithm and the Multilayer Perceptron neural network. As a final result, we concluded that the indicators developed during the feature engineering process, along with the variables from the original database such as the number of views, comments, followers, and the variables generated in Natural Language Processing (NLP) such as the sentiment of the caption, proved to be the most relevant for predicting the popularity of a post on Instagram. Among all the fitting tests performed, the model that demonstrated the best performance in handling the information was LightGBM, with optimized parameters, achieving an RMSE of 0.04 and an R2 of 0.99.

Disorders of the Central Nervous System (CNS) affect a large portion of the population and, as they have a complex etiology, the drugs available today still present, in some cases, limited effectiveness, as well as presenting a series of side effects. Anxiety is a disorder that affects more and more people around the world and some individuals do not respond well to conventional anxiolytic medications, which can lead to the development of tolerance and dependence, among other adverse effects. Medicinal plants and herbal medicines can be considered a promising alternative for the treatment of anxiety and other CNS disorders. Thus, ethnobotanical knowledge and the empirical basis of the traditional use of natural products generate interest from government agencies in the development of new drugs to be distributed to the population. The Ministry of Health launched in 2009 the National List of Medicinal Plants of Interest to the SUS (ReniSUS) with the aim of guiding studies and research to develop a set of plants to be distributed in the SUS for various indications. Of these, only five species are indicated for CNS disorders as an aid in the treatment of anxiety and sleep disorders, being the Passiflora incarnata, Passiflora edulis, Passiflora alata, Erythrina mulungu and Alpinia zerumbet. All of these species have indications based on scientific studies, at some degree, as confirmed by the articles selected for this work, but clinical studies with such species are scarce. Other species that are not present in ReniSUS have indications for use in CNS disorders described in other technical and government documents, suggesting that they could also be included in the ReniSUS list.

With the technological advances present in society, education can take advantage of the benefits that the attractions of virtual environments have and, thus, promote conditions that enhance student learning. The main objective of this study was to verify the effects of matrix teaching on multiplication learning on the generativity of new mathematical repertoires with the additional objective of evaluating the effectiveness of the Besouriz computerized tool. 26 students aged between seven and 11 years-old participated in this study, being 16 with typical development and 12 with Autism Spectrum Disorder, enrolled in regular education or in a specialized institution. A written pre- and post-test design was used to assess multiplication repertoire. A multiple probe between stimulus groups design was also used. The independent variable was teaching multiplication through additive equivalent, using matrix training. The dependent variable was the participants' performance in the repertoire taught and assessed in written tests. The multiplication tables of one, two and three were taught. The results indicate that the game was efficient and effective regardless of the input repertoire, age and neurodevelopment condition. It is suggested that the study be expanded to other groups of special education students.

This work synthesizes the Quality by Design (QbD) approach in the context of pharmaceutical production. The beginning of the research focuses on the essence of QbD, highlighting its innovative application in drug development. The initial emphasis is on the identification and control of Critical Material Attributes (CMA's) and Critical Process Parameters (CPP's), essential elements to ensure product quality from the early stages of the process to large-scale production. The research comprehensively addresses risk assessment techniques, providing an understanding of how these factors impact the performance of production processes. A practical case study in the pharmaceutical industry, using the generic drug Acetriptan 20 mg, is presented in the research. Through this example, acceptable ranges are demonstrated, showing how the attributes of input materials and process parameters influence the quality of the intermediate and final product, allowing for the efficient identification and control of critical factors throughout the production cycle. The central tool of QbD, Design of Experiments (DoE), is demonstrated across different stages, including screening, optimization, and process robustness evaluation. The research uses the practical example of Acetriptan formulation development to highlight how DoE contributes to the identification of optimal conditions, critical and non-significant factors, as well as interactions between variables. The Design Space (DS) is presented as a desirable element of QbD, providing a clear understanding of variables and ranges to ensure consistent and quality production. Graphic examples, such as contour plots and three-dimensional graphs, are discussed as effective means of representing the DS. Additionally, the need for a comprehensive regulatory presentation when submitting a DS to the FDA is demonstrated, including a clear description, variable interactions, justification data, and the relationship with unit operations. The work offers a comprehensive analysis of QbD in the pharmaceutical industry, demonstrating its practical application, key tools, and relevance in ensuring quality and consistency in pharmaceutical production.

The research investigation on the doping effects of zinc oxide thin films (ZnO) with the rare earth ion Holmium (Ho3+) and the determination of an optimal doping condition for the luminescence of the doping element. The films were deposited by the spray-pyrolysis technique considering nominal rare earth concentrations within the range of 1 to 5%. The structural properties were evaluated by X-ray Diffraction technique (XRD), and morphological and compositional characteristics by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) associated with Energy Spectroscopy Dispersive (EDS). To investigate the optical properties, we employed UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (PL). For PL measurements, the excitation wavelengths were 450 nm and 325 nm, and temperatures around 77 K. The XRD results revealed polycrystalline films in wurtzite hexagonal structure without a preferential orientation with crystallite sizes in the (002) and (101) orientations of 6.9 and 18 nm, respectively, which increases with increasing dopant concentration. SEM micrographs show grains with average size from 1.0 to 2.75 μm. The EDS spectra, in turn, provided the actual concentrations of the rare earth. The UV-Vis absorption showed rare earth absorption in the blue, green, and red regions for samples with 3 to 5% Ho-content. The optical bandgap of ZnO host assumed values between 3.10 and 3.19 eV. The PL spectra showed UV emissions from the host and the dopant emissions in the visible range. Furthermore, the decrease of rare earth luminescence intensity with increasing temperature was attributed to electron-phonon interactions. It was also observed the degeneration in Ho3+ levels, caused by the interaction with the crystalline field of ZnO.

The current configuration of schools in our society grants the applied curriculum the power to transmit content and knowledge, but also positions and conceptions of the world. These conceptions can reinforce an overly technicist and Eurocentric view of knowledge. This paper offers a reflection on these conceptions that are transmitted by the teaching of chemistry in school. To this end, based on the concept of decolonial teaching as a theoretical foundation, a Didactic Sequence was constructed, guided by the Three Pedagogical Moments methodology, as well as an Activity Booklet, centered on the chemical content of separation of mixtures and its tools, using the processes of making manioc flour and its relationship with the indigenous communities of Brazil as a theme. The Didactic Sequence includes problematizations in the form of videos and texts that discuss indigenous knowledge related to the content and theme, while the Activity Booklet is made up of application activities, such as a questionnaire, essay proposal and experiment, aimed at promoting an understanding of the content from the perspective of decoloniality. The construction of this Didactic Sequence is supported by a brief bibliographical review on decoloniality and decolonial teaching and a delimitation of the relationships between the process of making manioc flour and the physical-chemical procedures for separating mixtures, highlighting the historical and cultural importance of manioc in Brazilian food and the indigenous role in handling this food. The Didactic Sequence constructed is understood as an adaptable model that presents the viability of the decolonial approach with the manioc flour theme, offering a starting point for teachers and researchers that intend to delve deeper into the potential of the approach, theme or methodology, either theoretically, with bibliographic reviews, or practically, through the application of this sequence, which, though not being covered in this work, is a relevant perspective for future works.

Introduction: Increased life expectancy and the aging process are accompanied by multimorbidities and manifestations of chronic diseases. Furthermore, it is known that nutritional condition is an important factor in maintaining functionality, autonomy and improving muscle performance. Problems related to this can trigger a cycle of weaknesses. Therefore, frailty in the elderly is associated with greater vulnerability and susceptibility to falls and episodes of hospitalization. Therefore, elderly people with frailty syndrome have reduced walking speed, reduced hand grip strength, low level of physical activity and unintentional weight loss. These factors negatively impact functionality and autonomy, leading to hospitalization and an increase in illnesses. Such declines generate an increase in the need for hospitalization, driven by exacerbations of chronic diseases, which imposes a restriction on mobility in bed, triggering a process of accentuated muscle weakness, reduced functionality and autonomy. Objectives: To characterize elderly people hospitalized in a university hospital regarding the presence of frailty and nutritional aspects. Methods: Prospective, observational and cross-sectional study, in which elderly people over 60 years of age, hospitalized in the ward of a university hospital, were selected. Assessments were carried out to screen for frailty (self-reported feeling of exhaustion, unintentional weight loss, assessment of handgrip strength, gait speed test and physical activity), as well as a nutritional risk questionnaire (MANr). Results: 49 hospitalized elderly people were evaluated, with a mean age of 72.65 ± 9.20 years, of which 61.22% were male and 20.40% were illiterate. Among the clinical conditions, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) was the most prevalent with 20.40%. With regard to frailty syndrome, 84.1% of the population is characterized as frail and 2.3% as non-frail. Regarding nutritional status, the presence of malnutrition was detected in 62.2% of hospitalized elderly people. Conclusion: There is a high incidence of frail and pre-frail elderly people admitted to the hospital environment and these elderly people present malnutrition or nutritional risk.

The present article aims to contribute to the decolonial studies, focusing on deaf communities. The essay tries to decoloniality in discussion, as well as the researches in deaf studies and the interculturality. Since the variety of researches under the deaf studies, we selected only the main authors of the subjects and how these authors criticize the hearing colonialism over deaf people, seeking to give deaf people the protagonism, therefore create new knowledges and ways of thinking, and help to guarantee the political recognition of this group. The essay is a revision of the current literature regarding the decolonial studies, deaf studies about culture representation and deaf identity.

In this Bachelors dissertation we studied, in the context of logistic regression models, the case in which the number of covariables is large and the covariables are correlated. In this situation, we use the principal component analysis technique in order to reduce the number of the variables (dimension) involved in the data set. We present two examples of logistic regression and one of principal component analysis, as well as a comparison between an application with both methodologies, applied jointly, and an application using only logistic regression.

Marcel Pourbaix dedicated himself to the study of metal corrosion, culminating in the publication of the "Atlas of Electrochemical Equilibrium" in 1964. His work presents diagrams that predict the stability of chemical species under various electrolytic cell conditions. The present study utilized this knowledge to corroborate the hypothesis raised by Hydro Aluminum, indicating that the alkaline degreasing bath applied to its extruded tubes impacted the increase in the minimum force required for interference fit crimping, resulting in non-compliance with customer specifications. To solve this problem, a proposal for improvement was initiated, which involved replacing the alkaline degreasing bath with a neutral solution bath. According to Pourbaix, the alkaline environment favors the solubilization of Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) while in a neutral environment, metallic Aluminum (Al) is passivated, ensuring the statistical stability of the process. To monitor this, 180 samples were collected (being extruded aluminum tubes of alloy 3103), divided into 90 for each of the analyzed conditions. This collection took place over 101 non-consecutive days. All samples were manufactured following the same process sheet. Hydro collected these samples as part of a control for batch release. Each batch corresponded to a degreasing basket with a capacity of 330 pieces, totaling a sample space of 59,400 products. The randomly selected samples were crimped using a Hydro universal testing machine configured for compression tests, allowing the determination of minimum crimping force values. The collected data were processed using MINITAB® software for the construction of the process capability study, comparing the samples before and after the improvement process. Data treatment confirmed the effectiveness of the improvement proposal.

The present work aimed to investigate the process of cultural mediation in arts in Early Childhood Education and its manifestation within the classroom, emphasizing its relevance for young children. In order to address the question-problem "how does cultural mediation with arts occur in Early Childhood Education?", the study's approach was grounded in understanding the concept of cultural mediation and its implications for educators in Early Childhood Education, guided by principles of freedom and respect regarding what is offered to children. In this context, concepts related to the child's right to choose within the cultural mediation framework were developed, considering the intersection between child and art. The study sought to comprehend which artistic expressions are present in Early Childhood Education and how teachers utilize various artistic languages, fostering simultaneous reflections on the autonomy of young children in the realm of arts. The research adopted a qualitative approach based on a bibliographic review. As a result, it was observed that cultural mediation in arts in Early Childhood Education is transformative when teachers take into account the choices, characteristics, and autonomy of young children in their diverse artistic expressions in the classroom. The central objective of the teacher when working with the arts in Early Childhood Education is to enable children to be creative and active in their learning processes, exploring their imagination capabilities and not being seen as mere spectators in the kindergarten.

In the depths of the Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Land, along the banks of the Bacajá River, an unrelenting saga of resistance unfolds. This thesis paints the picture of the Mebêngôkré-Xikrin's tireless struggle, touched by the waters of the river that now resonate with the roar of Belo Monte. Confronted by socio-environmental projects devised in response to the imposing Environmental Basic Plan of Norte Energia, the Xikrin intertwine their history with threads of combat and resilience. Each project emerges as a manifesto, a cry of resistance in the face of the challenges imposed by 35 years of forced coexistence with the hydroelectric plant and the threat of ethnocide. In the fabric of this narrative, the pandemic years unfold as an additional chapter in Xikrin life. COVID-19, like a relentless tempest, intertwines with resistance, challenging the Xikrin to confront not only the invasion of their waters but also the fleeting shadows of a global disease. This thesis is a chant, an echo of Xikrin voices that resonate beyond the waters, beyond the imposed challenges, an ode to the resistance that shapes itself with each dawn, bringing the promise of a tomorrow where indigenous culture and life flourish amid tireless struggle.

Cosmetics are products for external use that can have specific protection and/or beautification purposes for different parts of the body. Lipstick is specifically designed to hydrate, protect and color the lips, and is a product used daily by many people. Given this, it is important to analyze the quality of this product and evaluate the potential risks that the presence of toxic elements (PTEs) in lipsticks can cause to users over time. Some PTEs are related to various diseases such as skin problems, neurological, reproductive, renal, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases, as well as skeletal, immune, respiratory and blood system problems. Thus, the objectives of this work were to verify the main sources of PTEs contamination in lipsticks and the effects that prolonged use of contaminated products can cause to human health; as well as determining the concentrations of PTEs in two brands of lipsticks manufactured in Brazil with red and pink colors, verifying the values in accordance with Brazilian legislation. The research methodology used to investigate the main PTEs in lipsticks, sources of contamination and effects on human health was the Systematic Literature Review (SLR). For this, the Scopus and Web of Science databases were selected for the research, using the terms “lipstick”, “heavy metals” and “potentially toxic elements”, selecting article as the type of document, open access, published in period 2013-2023, which after reading and analysis resulted in 18 articles in total. For the determination of PTEs aluminum (Al), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), strontium (Sr), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), potassium (K) and zinc (Zn), the lipsticks samples were subjected to microwave-assisted digestion (Anton Paar) and quantified in the microwave plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (MP-AES, Agilent). Furthermore, a comparative study was carried out with masses of 0.3 g (M1) and 0.03 g (M2) of lipsticks, the M1 samples showed greater reliability in the results compared to the M2 samples. Elements such as Pb, Cu, Sr and Zn presented low concentrations, however Ba, Al, Fe and K presented high concentrations, exceeding the values allowed by Anvisa. Elements not allowed by legislation, such as Cr and Ni, had low concentrations and Cd was below the detection limit for all samples. Therefore, the results of this work show the importance of ensuring higher quality in the raw materials used in lipstick, especially mica and pigments, as well as monitoring the manufacturing and packaging process to avoid contaminations in the final product.

This Undergraduate thesis discusses addresses the corporal disciplining of young children in the context of Early Childhood Education, with special emphasis on daycare center. The research, which was carried out through a bibliographical review and field study, examines the topic based on the author's personal and professional experience, which found that very young children are often restricted in their freedom of movement at school, whether through norms and punishments, whether through the organization of spaces and times. The study highlights the fundamental importance of playing for the physical, motor, cognitive and emotional development of children, as it allows them to explore themselves, environments, materialities, relationships and, thus, build knowledge, identity and exercise autonomy. Research has found that corporal disciplining can have adverse consequences for child development, including behavioral problems, learning difficulties, low self-esteem and physical and mental health complications. The urgent need for a review in the organization and provision of Early Childhood Education for very young children is emphasized, recognizing the need for children to move. It is proposed to create a welcoming school environment for children, which allows children to express themselves freely, including through body movement.

With this change, a new profile of worker emerges, aligned with the premises disseminated by neoliberalism from the 1970s onwards. This new worker is characterized by flexibility, competitiveness, and being an entrepreneur of oneself, concerned with ensuring employability. Willing to take risks and intensify their working hours, this worker seeks not just a guarantee of stability but a job where they feel they are making a difference in the world. Thus, this study aimed to understand how the entrepreneurial discourse is incorporated and mobilized by students participating in a junior company at the São Carlos campus of the University of São Paulo (USP). It examines how entrepreneurial discourses and practices take shape in a project that simulates the experience in the labor market and how they influence students' perceptions of the new configurations of work - flexible, with reduced labor rights, and marked by a neoliberal logic that encourages "self-entrepreneurship." The research was conducted through a case study, utilizing observation techniques, semi-structured interviews, and collecting materials from the company's social media for discourse analysis. It is concluded that these discourses prevail in EESC Jr. and in brazilian Junior Enterprise Movement (MEJ), through a strongly disseminated corporate culture that encourages competitiveness, flexibility, intense work, and training as a way to ensure employability, all in the pursuit of work that is capable of transforming lives. Personal achievement is considered an important factor for future professional trajectories.

Energy demand has increased significantly with the advancement of technology, which is why it is important to study new sources of clean energy. An alternative that has been studied and meets environmental standards is the storage of hydrogen in a solid state in metal hydrides. In recent years, studies have been carried out with single-phase multicomponent alloys with a body-centered cubic structure. Multicomponent alloys can present good hydrogen storage results due to the large compositional field. This is important as hydrogen storage properties directly depend on the composition. Therefore, composition testing is necessary and a cheap and fast method is computational calculations. In this work, two new parameters were added to a previously developed genetic algorithm, the phase transition enthalpy and the plateau enthalpy, to assist in the construction of pressure-temperature-composition diagrams. Nine problems were tested, the first five problems with the same settings as the previous work with the new parameters, later four more problems were tested with new settings of plateau enthalpy and molar mass. The algorithm was able to meet most of the requirements, being tested with and without composition restrictions. However, user experience is necessary to obtain good results.
