Adding boron to stainless steels improves wear resistance through the formation of Cr- and Mo-rich borides but may cause sensitization. Enhancing wear without compromising corrosion resistance requires adjusting the alloy’s global composition. This thesis aims to modify 316L stainless steel, known for excellent processability by laser additive manufacturing, and evaluate its electrochemical and tribological properties after gas atomization and L-PBF. Initial tests with commercial 316L powder achieved high densification (8.09 ± 0.04 g/cm³) using parameters of 192 W, 1000 mm/s, 70 µm, and 30 µm. The composition was then modified with 0.5 wt.% B, designing two alloys (Mo3 and Mo4) via CALPHAD. Ingots were produced, gas-atomized, and characterized by SEM, XRD, and laser diffraction, revealing spherical powders suitable for L-PBF. A Box-Behnken design defined parameters for modified alloys (224 W, 700 mm/s, 76 µm). Specimens were printed and analyzed by SEM, TEM, and XRD, confirming a cellular microstructure with M₂B and M₃B₂ boride networks. Electrochemical tests showed superior performance of modified alloys compared to original 316L, with higher Etransp and Rp and lower icorr, ipass, Ceff, and Qa. Regarding wear, hardness increased from 224 ± 7 HV to 473 ± 5 HV, while the coefficient of friction dropped from 0.56 to 0.35, reducing the specific wear rate by up to 2.5 times. In conclusion, boron addition combined with composition adjustment significantly improved wear resistance without impairing corrosion resistance, maintaining L-PBF processability.

When talking about teaching or modifying behavior, one must think about Evidence-Based Practices, and in this case, educational intervention based on Applied Behavior Analysis has been recommended, given its scientific evidence for interventions with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The objective of the research was to evaluate a brief collaborative consultancy proposal, operationalized in eight weeks of training a team working after school with children and young people with ASD and/or Intellectual Disability (ID), based on Behavioral Skills Training (BST) and Teach-Back. The specific objective was to verify the impact of the organizational climate on training adherence, as well as to evaluate the team's social attitudes related to inclusion throughout the consultancy. It was an action research consisting of eight weeks of in-service training. Four professionals (three psychologists and one pedagogue) and six children participated, selected for convenience by the researcher. The children and young people were cared for by the participating professionals, in a specialized clinic, during school hours. The research was divided into four distinct phases: Phase I: systematic literature review; Phase II: sample pre-test and analysis of documentation related to the institution's workflow; Phase III: presentation of the Organizational Climate research proposal to employees of the participating institution; Phase IV: implementation of Collaborative Consulting and multiple surveys. The consultancy was operationalized in an eight-week training session, which can be classified as a brief consultancy. Phase I data were analyzed in full and categorized based on the following aspects: year of publication, place of origin of the first author; search repository; objectives, methodological procedures; dependent variable and independent variable; results; limitations and future indications. The data from the other stages were corrected based on the guidance of each test and the results of the collection with the consultancy participants were evaluated qualitatively, based on the issuance of the response presented in dialogue with the literature in the area. In general, the results provided guidance regarding the curricular components related to knowledge of Behavior Analysis and Special Education and validated by the participating professional team, as well as extending knowledge about quality of life in an after-school support service, through of organizational climate assessment. It is recommended that future studies include collecting social validation from participating children and young people, as well as operationalized monitoring of interactions between researcher and school, in addition to the pilot application of questionnaires and evaluation by judges.

It can be said that sexuality is still a controversial topic, which causes difficulties for those who face this issue on a daily basis, such as teachers, for example. When it comes to teachers of young people with intellectual disabilities (ID), the challenge is even greater. In this sense, studies state that the result of the sexuality/ID relationship may not be positive due to the sum of difficulties faced by teachers and families, and that many behaviors considered inappropriate that these people exhibit are the result of education or lack of sexual education. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to develop, implement and evaluate a training program in sexual education for special education teachers on sexuality and sexual education for students with ID, in order to investigate the difficulties and facilities in dealing with this subject in everyday practice. Thus, qualitative data collection and analysis methods were used. Firstly, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 10 teachers from a special school, based on a script prepared by the author, which addressed the themes of sexuality, sexual education, sexuality of people with intellectual disabilities, sexual affective relationships of people with intellectual disabilities and relationships of gender. The data was systematized and soon after, a teaching program was drawn up, which had as its central theme “Sexuality and Sexual Education for Young People with Intellectual Disabilities”. The teachers participating in the teaching program were the same teachers participating in the interview. Furthermore, the group was led by the focus group and had 05 meetings/themes, which took place once a week. These meetings had a theoretical part carried out by the researcher and moments in which the participants' difficulties were addressed through group discussions. Finally, the teachers carried out activities in class with the students and were later described and analyzed with a view to verifying the effects of the teaching program. The data collected in the pre-intervention interviews, in the intervention course and in the activities carried out by post-intervention teachers, were systematized and qualitatively analyzed. To achieve this, Discourse Analysis procedures and techniques were used, especially as they encompass analysis techniques that aim to be a bridge between scientific knowledge and common sense, aiming to reconstitute collective thinking in the face of various themes. The results indicate that in the pre-intervention interviews, the majority of teachers did not receive training on this topic during their undergraduate studies. Among those who stated that they had obtained some instruction about sexual education, it was found that this was of a strictly biological nature with a focus on anatomical and physiological characteristics. Furthermore, prejudices and myths were noted regarding this issue mainly because they do not believe that they can enjoy safe and pleasurable sexuality in a responsible and autonomous way because they have ID, indicating that people with ID are qualitatively different from people who do not have disabilities and who do not have the same right to experience their sexuality as the rest of us, with the need to always be supervised by their family. After the intervention carried out through the teaching program, it was possible to demonstrate that training in sexual education is a strategy that favors personal reflection on the topic, as well as a review of one's own values, feelings, taboos and prejudices, strengthening the teacher's the importance of sexual education work in the school space.

The study investigated the Initial Training of Primary School Teachers in Mozambique, in order to understand how the current training models contribute to the construction of professionalism in teaching. In this context, the need to carry out this research arose, around training in the social recognition of an activity as a profession, determined in the literature on the sociology of professions and education. The research aims to analyze professionality data in several demonstrations that guide FIP in Mozambique, in the initial training models 10th class + 1 year, 10th class + 3 years and 12th class + 3 years. This is a qualitative research based on the description and analysis of documents, the development of the study continued based on questionnaires made to nine (9) trainers, twelve (12) trainees and four (4) managers. The study was based on the possibility of reinforcing the cohesion between discourses and practices constructed in ITE and clarifying the concept of professionality intended in ITE for Primary Education. The results indicated that there is a total lack of harmony between the concepts of professionalism, teaching shown in the different guiding documents, speeches by training agents and the teaching practice of trainers. In relation to the specificities of professionalism, the power of decision-making and innovative researcher stand out as one of the qualities recognized for teachers. However, this aspect contradicts the reality shown, as the lack of power of trainers/teachers over changes to curricula was verified and, despite the existence of some trainers with good qualifications, it was noted that there is a lot of teaching practice aligned with functionalization of what professionalism is

Introduction: psychosocial risks are known problems in the context of hospital nursing work. Training leaders to promote mental health at work emerges as a powerful strategy, although still limited in the Brazilian context. Nurses' awareness of psychosocial risks and the workplace factors that affect them, as well as their position in the organization as nurse leaders, can strengthen the collective fight for healthy environments. Objective: to pilot a model to evaluate the effectiveness of a training intervention aimed at hospital nurse leaders to promote mental health at work. Method: pilot study with pre- and post-test in a single group with follow-up of two and four months after an online training called the Lidera-SMT Program, designed based on the Canadian National Standard of Psychological Workplace Health and Safety. The research was carried out in three stages: Development of the intervention and instruments; Validation of instrument content; Implementation and pilot and evaluation of Lidera-SMT. All nurses working in hospitals were eligible to participate in the intervention. The sample was non-probabilistic for convenience and those who did not complete the Program were excluded. Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire and pilot testing the intervention was based on Donald Kirkpatrick's first three levels of evaluation, using as measures: level I – interest, confidence, attention, expectation; level II – learning; and level III – attitudes and perceived structural empowerment. Analysis used JAMOVI software and included descriptive statistics for participant characteristics; Non-parametric ANOVA, linear mixed model to assess learning retention; Cronbach's alpha to measure the internal consistency of the questionnaires; Spearman correlation test to identify correlation between attitudes and structural empowerment; and Mann-Whitney test to compare groups by training hours. The significance adopted was 5%. Ethical aspects were respected and the project was approved (Brazil: approval n. 5.627.685; CAAE 57917922.9.0000.5504; Canada: n. 1469900). Results: Lidera-SMT was based on the flipped classroom and was composed of four mandatory modules and one optional, totaling 8 or 10 hours. The sociodemographic questionnaire, the learning test and the perceived attitudes instrument, which were not validated, underwent validation using the Delphi Technique. Twelve Brazilian experts participated (eight academics and four nursing specialists). Lidera-SMT was implemented between July and August 2023. Sixty-seven nurses started the Program and 54 completed it, demonstrating 81% adherence. Both partial (n=50) and complete data (n=29) were considered to evaluate learning and behavior levels. Level I: satisfaction means above 4.46 (SD=0.872), with 94% of participants (n=50) over the cutoff point. Level II: mean score increased from 3.9 (pre) to 4.41 (2nd follow-up), with significant differences pre and post (p=0.04) and pre and 2nd follow-up (p<0.01). Level III: perceived attitudes achieved high scores, although no significant differences were observed between the assessment moments. The perception of structural empowerment has increased significantly. There are correlations between attitudes and structural empowerment. Conclusions: in pilot work, Lidera-SMT demonstrated to be an effective intervention for promoting mental health at work.

Questa ricerca dottorale si inserisce nel contesto storicamente recente di valorizzazione e ricostruzione di spazi e pratiche per l'educazione e la cura dei neonati e dei bambini molto piccoli (0 a 3 anni), concentrandosi sulle concezioni delle educatrici e delle insegnanti, attraverso un'indagine condotta in due Paesi e, quindi, contesti educativi diversi: Brasile e Italia. L'obiettivo generale è stato quello di descrivere e analizzare le concezioni sul lavoro educativo nel nido, espresse attraverso le narrazioni delle educatrici e delle insegnanti, brasiliane e italiane, che lavorano con bambini da 0 a 6 anni, al fine di identificare e discutere le loro specificità, stabilendo relazioni con le condizioni personali, professionali e di lavoro. Si tratta di uno studio qualitativo, realizzato attraverso interviste a professioniste dell'educazione dell’infanzia del sistema pubblico della città di São José do Rio Preto (SP, Brasile) e a professioniste che lavorano in istituzioni corrispondenti a questa fase dell'educazione nelle città di Roma e Modena (Italia). I risultati sono stati discussi sulla base di quattro categorie di dati raccolti in Brasile e di tre categorie relative al contesto italiano, e sono stati organizzati e descritti utilizzando l’Analisi di Contenuto di Laurence Bardin. Analizzando temi relativi alla formazione per il lavoro nel nido d’infanzia e nella scuola dell'infanzia, alle concezioni del lavoro educativo nel nido, agli elementi attraenti e di difficoltà del lavoro educativo nel nido e alla visione del nido e della scuola dell'infanzia nella società odierna brasiliana e italiana, è stato possibile rilevare le concezioni delle educatrici e delle insegnanti sul lavoro educativo nel nido e che queste sono strettamente legate agli aspetti oggettivi del lavoro educativo e alle condizioni di lavoro delle professioniste, ma sono legate anche agli aspetti soggettivi, come le relazioni tra le insegnanti nel contesto della scuola, la qualità del rapporto con i bambini stessi, la collaborazione con i genitori e la cultura pedagogica locale. In una dinamica complessa, queste due dimensioni sono articolate e interpretate in modi diversi dalle professioniste, delimitando la costruzione delle loro concezioni e identità professionali. Poiché questi fattori strutturano e modificano le concezioni delle educatrici e delle insegnanti in modo unico, delimitando le loro conoscenze e le loro pratiche e influenzando la costruzione della loro identità professionale, si comprende l'utilità del contributo di una ricerca che analizzi le condizioni di lavoro delle educatrici/insegnanti e le loro concezioni del proprio ruolo. Discutendo i risultati in base a ciascun contesto e realtà indagati, si evidenzia anche la potenzialità della ricerca che prende in considerazione le diverse realtà dell'educazione dell’infanzia e della cura e dell'educazione dei bambini del nido, in particolare, mettendo in luce i contributi unici del dibattito sul tema e dell'internazionalizzazione dell’indagine. Infine, si sostiene la necessità del dialogo e della costruzione di un'educazione alla prima infanzia di qualità, affettuosa e rispettosa, con professioniste competente che si impegnano per i bambini, quello che deve essere una priorità non solo per le educatrici e le insegnanti dell’infanzia, ma per l'intera società, perché il nido di qualità, come costruzione democratica condivisa da gestori, educatori, bambini e famiglie, rimane un obiettivo a cui tendere costantemente.

This dissertation explores the essential role of Transport Layer Security (TLS) in securing web applications. Our focus is on exploring the potential of kernel TLS (kTLS) offloading to alleviate resource usage, including CPU time, power consumption, and communication speed. Our main objective is to assess the viability of kTLS offloading, both in software and hardware configurations, to enhance resource efficiency in securing web applications. A variety of offloading strategies are analyzed, such as software-based kTLS implementation that brings cryptographic tasks closer to the Kernel and cutting-edge hardware-accelerated modes such as TOE (TCP Offload Engine) and coprocessor configurations, where we used the Chelsio T6 SmartNIC. We highlight the immense potential of kTLS and network adapters in reshaping performance and efficiency dynamics for some network environments, considering each approach's benefits and potential drawbacks. One challenge identified is the complexity of implementing kTLS in the current context. The discussion digs into the implications of this challenge and its potential impact on the broader adoption of kTLS in real-world applications. To address the difficulty of implementing kTLS and to ease legacy applications in taking advantage of the benefits of hardware offloading, the dissertation introduces Aludel. This solution provides a mechanism for legacy applications to seamlessly support kTLS, even without such support, giving interesting results on resource usage.

Since the 1990s, theoretical/practical/methodological strategies linked to territorial and community contexts have emerged in the teaching of occupational therapy in Brazil. Focusing on the teaching-learning process, these contexts are living spaces involved in the production of knowledge and practices, composed of a confluence of knowledge and actions that reflect the plurality of trajectories of Brazilian occupational therapy, in health, education, arts, in culture and society. Thus, this research aimed to present a current panorama of teaching focused on territorial and community contexts in graduate training in occupational therapy. As a methodological resource, we used documentary research based on national curricular guidelines, pedagogical projects of participating courses and teaching plans. In addition to virtual questionnaires and conversation circles with teachers. The data was presented, organized and analysed using thematic analysis. The results demonstrate that territory and community are structuring concepts of this teaching, they are incorporated into the documents guiding training in the country, but they dialogue with the concepts of social participation, ways of life, territoriality, urban mobility, interculturality, structural racism, popular education, rights humans, among others. Training in these contexts incorporates teaching and professional practice as elements for transforming social, cultural and health realities. In this conjunction, this teaching incorporates practical rationality in graduate training, encouraging critical and ethical reflection within the territories, being built in the dialogical relationship between students, teachers, teams, services, professionals and communities. It is organized by curricular components that present content in a transversal way, but five of them address the topic in a specific way. Most of the training actions are linked to the practical components of the curricula, which present professional practices, supervised internships and extension actions in the territories. We concluded that the research brought elements about/for this teaching in the Brazilian context that contribute to the training of occupational therapists committed to social transformation and territorial actions. In this way, in contrast to technical rationality, this training requires practical rationality, relying on situated and reflective learning, being fundamental for the subareas that support it, but also for all practices of the profession, even if the professional can later specialize- and for actions in other specific contexts.

This research stems from the results of Milozo (2019) work , “Translingual practices in the communication of learners of Portuguese as a foreign language”, which investigated the language practices of five multilingual speakers in a Portuguese language course. Aiming to analyze the dimensions that construct the translingual space, highliting affectivity, this work is justified by the fact that emotions, feelings and affections belong to transcultural and situated domains, which was also perceived in the work of Milozo (2019). The research problem leads to a deeper understanding of the impact of affectivity (Bottura, 2019; Dhokotera, 2019; Dovchin, 2021; García, 2021; Takaki, 2023) on language practices. Under the guidance of the interpretivist paradigm, the methodology used was secondary analysis (Heaton, 2008; Chatfield, 2020), in which previously published data from another research were analyzed. The theoretical apparatus based on translanguaging (Canagarajah, 2011; 2013; Wei, 2011; 2017; 2018; García, 2012; 2015; 2017; 2021; Rocha; Maciel, 2015; Rocha; Megale, 2023), on the linguistic repertoire (Busch, 2012; García; Johnson; Seltzer, 2017; García, 2020) and on decoloniality (Maldonado-Torres; 2000; Quijano; 2002; Walsh, 2012; Mignolo, 2020; Queiroz, 2020; Santos, 2022) is the basis for the analysis. In order to achieve that, a transdisciplinary (Nicolescu, 1999; 2005; 2010) and ecological (Van Lier, 2010; Kramsch; Steffersen, 2017) perspective on the data was necessary, based on theoretical reflections that has knowledge as similar to a rhizome ( Deleuze; Guatari 1995). As a result, the dimensions of the translingual space initially proposed by Wei (2011) were expanded, resulting in five dimensions: physical capacity, cognitive capacity, social capacity, identity aspects and affectivity. Such dimensions become levels of reality (Nicolescu, 2010), in which the individual perspective intertwines with the objective and surrounding reality. Finally, the “critical moments” (Wei, 2011) that emerge in the translingual space characterize the dichotomies of self/other, colonial/decolonial, individual/collective, among others, and are related to the dimension of affectivity, influencing the linguistic repertoire and the process of teaching-learning. Keywords: Translanguaging. Transdisciplinarity. Affectivity. Teaching-Learning.

During adolescence and early adulthood, social interactions intensify due to exposure to new environments, stimuli and the building of more lasting relationships, leading to greater autonomy and social interaction. In the area of social skills (SS), making friends involves a class of behaviors that can be taught and evaluated in educational interventions. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of PEERS (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) with young people with autism and/or intellectual disability (ID), in the context of the São Paulo metropolitan region, using neurophysiological measures (cerebral asymmetry) analyzed by electroencephalogram (EEG) and behavioral measures (for example, asking and answering questions on and off topic, spontaneous behavior on and off topic, among others). The program was applied to six young people (one with autism, three with autism and ID, two with ID) in 14 sessions. Behavioral measures were analyzed during the intervention, while brain symmetry was analyzed as a function of pre-test, intermediate measure (after the 7th week) and post-test. The results showed that the young people exhibited more social skills during the intermediate sessions and the EEG results showed greater activation in the left hemisphere than in the right in the intermediate measurements, as expected by the study. The program needs to be improved, especially in terms of intervention time and ensuring family involvement.

Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often engage in repetitive and solitary activities and exhibit a significant deficit in the repertoire of symbolic play. Symbolic play is crucial for the development of social, cognitive, language, and emotion expression skills. The present study aimed to evaluate an intervention procedure using interactions with real objects to teach or enhance the attribution of pretend properties to mock (non-real) and arbitrary objects. Six children diagnosed with ASD, aged 4 to 7 years, participated, interacting with real objects and were asked to tact the sensory properties during the intervention. Corresponding test objects, the mock objects (e.g., a toy candy) and arbitrary objects (e.g., blue tissue paper), were used to assess whether the responses of tact sensory properties would transfer. A multiple probes design across objects was employed. The results indicated that one child emitted tacts of stimulus properties for all three test objects presented, and one child emitted tacts of stimulus properties for one of the test objects. Another participant showed an increase in tacts of sensory properties in two items compared to the baseline. One participant maintained the initial performance, and two participants had their data collection interrupted. The application of resources and efforts in an experimental study on this theme aims at the development of teaching procedures that can be useful for professionals working with intervention for children with ASD.

The family plays a fundamental role in the development of language and communicative and social processes of their children with Intellectual Disability (ID) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The general aim of this study was to analyze the use of the Evaluation Scale for Oral Language Teaching in the Family Context (EVALOF) in the context of young people. A specific objective was set to relate the family routines of young people with ID and/or ASD to the strategies used by mothers in communicative interaction, via EVALOF. Eight young people with ID and/or ASD aged between 13 and 23 and their families, represented by seven mothers and one sister, took part in the study. Two instruments were used to collect the data: Family Routine Based Interview and EVALOF. The study analyzed: 1) Qualities and difficulties of young people from the mothers' and sister's perspectives; 2) Social interaction and life in the community; 3) Family routines and satisfaction and 4) Communicative interactions and family support, via EVALOF. The analysis of the EVALOF applied to young people guided structural changes to the instrument, such as adaptations to the glossary according to the age group. The results showed that, although all the families offer some natural support to facilitate young people's communication, especially in the organization of the environment, there is a lack of specific strategies to improve communication skills. The strategies used by families were: organizing the environment, adapting the physical context, facilitating attention to young people, encouraging young people to participate in communicative interactions, responding to interactions initiated by young people, supporting them in obtaining information, expanding young people's utterances and teaching communicative skills. The study highlighted the importance of family strategies and the need to strengthen the teaching of specific communication skills to improve the interaction and oral language development of young people with ID and/or ASD.

This study redeveloped a similar pharmaceutical product with a combination of two active ingredients in the form of an injectable solution. The experimental part used the Quality by Design (QbD) approach with the aim of obtaining a greater understanding of the product and process, aiming to reduce the risks of deviations during the commercial manufacture of the medicine. Due to the difficulty of stabilizing the content of one of the active ingredients, which is labile in solution in the presence of heat, light and oxygen, this redevelopment presents a considerable challenge, therefore, the use of QbD is recommended. Formulation and process variables with potential impact on product quality attributes were defined using the Cause and Effect Matrix risk analysis tool. Over time, forty-nine experiments were carried out on a laboratory scale (6.5 L) using experimental planning (Design of experiments, DoE), with the aim of defining and optimizing qualitatively and quantitatively the excipients and evaluating the impact of the variables of process. All formulations were analyzed immediately after carrying out the experiments and after exposing the samples to a forced degradation study (60°C/75%RH for 14 days). The responses (Critical Quality Attribute, CQAs) evaluated in the experiments were: reduction in the content of the two active ingredients and less formation of impurities after forced degradation studies. The experiments demonstrated that: (i) active 1 is stable and the variables are irrelevant at the levels tested, (ii) the presence of antioxidant excipients 1 or 2 reduces the degradation of active 2 and the formation of its known impurity, without differentiation between them , with excipient 2 being defined because it is used in another company medicine and historically stable and (iii) the formulation with potassium salt was defined since experiments with this salt had less formation of unknown individual impurities of active ingredient 2. New experiments were carried out to quantitatively verify the two excipients defined in the first screening study and experiments were carried out evaluating the critical process parameters, and in the range studied, robustness was observed in the process, that is, no variable proved to be relevant.

Studies indicate that the textile fashion production chain is responsible for several social and environmental impacts across the planet. In this context, consumerism, or consumer society, is identified as the core of the main problems related to the link between fashion and the environment. Although environmental issues are currently being discussed in the media, there is still a gap in studies on critical environmental communication. This exploratory research aimed, therefore, to answer the following main question: how does transparency in communication about the socio environmental impacts generated in the stages of the fashion production chain influence consumer behavior? To answer it, five studies were proposed that complement and interrelate with each other, each dealing with the following aspects: 1) the objective was to seek, through bibliographical research, information on the relationships between fashion and socio-environmental impacts; 2) the objective was to analyze content from two different communication spaces, scientific articles and documentary films, through which data were collected on peculiarities present in environmental narratives; 3) the objective was to provide information about the corporate communication policy of four companies in the clothing sector (Lojas Renner, C&A, Pernambucanas and Riachuelo), through the analysis of sustainability reports; 4) the objective was to gather information about the communication of the Algodão Paraíba Project and the Algodão Project in Agroecological Consortia, based on a case study; 5) the objective was to present qualitative data on consumers' knowledge regarding the textile fashion chain and their respective consumption behavior. The results obtained indicate that: 1) there is a need to create a new awareness regarding consumption; 2) scientific communication is limited to a small portion of the population, while documentaries enable a broader and more accessible discussion; 3) three of the four clothing companies analyzed use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicator in their reports, which suggests that pressure from investors leads large companies to adopt more environmentally fair practices and policies; 4) the case study demonstrated alternative models to extensive cotton cultivation and highlighted the importance of communication being well articulated for projects of this nature; 5) 114 women responded to the questionnaire, and the data collected showed that 64.9% do not know who makes their clothes, 50% look for good social and environmental practices when buying their clothing, 49.6% look for information through social networks , and 20.4% still have a lot of doubts about the impacts and the means of obtaining information on the subject. In conclusion, it is suggested that transparency in communication can serve as a device for more conscious consumption. It is expected that the data collected in this study will serve as an element that contributes to the development of environmental education and communication policies. Keywords: fashion chain; socio-environmental impacts; environmental communication; environmental communication policy; sustainable communication.

Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, travesties, transsexuals, queers, intersexuals, asexuals, pansexuals, non-binary, among other people who experience dissidence of genders and sexualities, have their lives marked through violence. This fact can lead to the intensification of fragilities, reconfiguring the organization of these people's everyday lives, with wide-ranging impacts ranging from the sphere of personal, affective and loving relationships (in friendship, family, marital life, religious options) to that social policies (health, education, social assistance, among others). In occupational therapy, work in the field of gender and sexual dissidence is scarce, with almost no bibliographical production on the subject. Taking Judith Butler's reflections on the construction of alliances between groups that aim for social justice – as justice in conceptualized by Nancy Fraser – a theoretical-methodological alliance between social occupational therapy, critical occupational science and queer studies was proposed. Through a survey done to apprehend and analyze the professional profile and practices of occupational therapists who work in Brazil with this public, elements were gathered to support the hypothesis that the work occupational therapists carried out with the population who experience dissidence of genders and sexualities did not bring new resources or technology specific to the professional core. No practices were identified exclusively for the care of this population. It was noted that the professionals used resources already known and established in the field. The main differentiating factor between practices that operated within the logic of adaptation or social articulation were the theoretical-methodological references used. The first stage of the research was a scoping review of journal articles indexed in academic databases and virtual libraries, namely: VHL, CINAHL, SciELO Citation Index, SCOPUS and Web of Science. Considering articles available online until March 2021,39 articles were included in the review. In the second stage, an online questionnaire (2019-2020) to understand practice with this population. Using snowball sampling, recruitment began through seed informants and social media. Based on the responses (n= 95), 15 informants were selected for interviews to enhance depth of understanding of the professional practice developed. Using Laurence Bardin's postulates, we used thematic content analysis to organize and process field data. Even though we can affirm that there are occupational therapists in Brazil working with the population who experience dissident genders or sexualities, when we consider the literature, few productions focused specifically on professional practice. Most articles proposed possible contributions and made general recommendations. Taking these findings, we seek to offer support so that occupational therapy continues to work with the population in question, but also point to the necessity of critical reflection on this field of knowledge and practices. In these assumptions, a complex, diverse profession is defended, with its multiple possibilities of intervention, different vocabularies and objects, but which builds common general objectives focused on people’s participation that requires social justice. Thus, occupational therapy remains a field of borders, but building alliances with references will converge in a reading of the world and the collective task.

The Neotropic cormorant (Nannopterum brasilianum) is an abundant psicivorous bird within its distribution area, especially inside Brazil. Despite its wide ocurrence, the bird ecological aspects are yet not explored by South american scientists. In Laguna Estuarine System (SEL), localized at southern coast of Santa Catarina State, Brazil, tradicional fishing community express nuances of a potential increase in cormorant population and its feeding habitats. This thesis evaluates the species ecological aspects of a populated dormitory at SEL. We assess cormorant population dinamics, diet, estuarine spatial use and reproduction from 2021 to 2023. The region is economically, culturally and historically important to South of Brazil and supports an intense fishing activity, demanding evidence-based evaluation of the interactions between cormorants and fishing resources. Diet analisys revealed diversified and generalists feeding habits, with cormorants consuming pelagic and demersal fishes composed mainly by the next families Ariidae, Engraulidae, Scianidae, Gerreidae e Atherinopsidae. Through otolith analisys sampled by regurgitated pellets, we assessed mean prey sizes of 128,6 +67,6mm and a diary consumption of biomass of 382,2 ±23,5g. Population counts indicated peaks of abundance during autumn and winter, corresponding to the establishment of reprodutive colonies in Laguna adjancies. By direct observations and the utilization of biologgers we observed maximum travel distances of 18 km to feeding areas, but mostly travels ocurred near the dormitory/colony (Nóca Lagoon). We observed a peak of 2780 nests and a reproductive sucess of 56,9% in 2023 colony located at Nóca Lagoon. Here we also document the first conflict between N. brasilianum and artisanal fisheries in Brazil. With ilegal actions and lesgislative responses, exemplified by ordinary law n° 2.154/ 2020. Yet, the conflict lacks evidence-based data and demand holistic and interdisciplinar approaches to its resolution or mitigation of possible negative outputs to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

Climate change, together with changes in land use, are the main factors that contribute to changes in hydrological processes in river basins. Understanding the behavior of these processes in the face of these changes is of fundamental importance for planning and managing water resources, especially with regard to water availability. This study aims to evaluate how changes in climate variables (temperature and precipitation) interfere with water availability in the Jurumirim river basin (located in Alto Paranapanema) and discuss how future land use may affect or be affected by water availability for basin management purposes. For this purpose, the DinamicaEgo software was used for future land use scenarios (up to 2100) and the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for hydrological modeling. The SWAT modeling included four climate models (Eta-BESM, Eta-Eta-CanESM2, Eta-HadGEM2-EM and Eta-Miroc5) and two emissions scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5), in the range from 1960 to 2099. The averages of the historical period (1960-1990) of the Eta-BESM model (RCP4.5) were used as a basis for comparison for the other models and periods (2010-2039 - near, 2040-2069 - medium and, 2070-2099 - distant). The land use transitions indicate increases in forestry and urbanization areas and reductions in pasture, native vegetation and agriculture by the end of the century. The reference model presents a historical monthly average of the rainy season between October and March and the dry season between April and September, with higher flows from December to May and lower flows from June to November. Future projections suggest an increase in temperature and an increase in precipitation in the driest months and a reduction in the rainy months, resulting in an annual loss of precipitation in most cases. Climate issues influence water availability more than changes in land use, where climate variables affect flow with reductions in the rainy season and increases in the dry season. In general, the RCP 8.5 scenarios tend to have greater losses and smaller gains compared to the RCP 4.5 scenarios, indicating lower water input into the hydrological system and longer dry periods. The Eta-BESM and Eta-HadGEM2-EM data, which best represent rainfall in the region, point to reductions in water availability, while Eta-Miroc5 shows an increase. Reductions in water availability highlight possible conflicts between multiple uses, which could negatively impact food and energy production and prices. It should be noted that the model has not yet been calibrated, but the results already allow us to understand the dynamics and patterns of rainfall and temperatures in the region.

The well logging phase in oil drilling aims to obtain rock characteristics or properties from indirect measurements acquired by sensors. Typically, these data are characterized by sequences of numerical values representing one or more soil properties. This phase can be executed through various approaches, with two of the most widely recognized and employed being: Logging While Drilling (LWD), which occurs during drilling, and Wireline Logging, which takes place after the well has been drilled. Due to vibrations and other phenomena occurring during drilling, there may be inaccuracies in the depth of LWD logs. To correct this, manual alignment of LWD logs is performed using Wireline logs as a reference. In this context, this work proposes a workflow that performs automatic alignment of LWD and Wireline logs using the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm in a segmented manner. The proposed workflow is divided into three parts: finding the common region between the two series, segmenting the LWD and Wireline logs so that the segments are similar, and performing segmented alignment using the DTW algorithm. The results obtained during the experiments in this work demonstrated a significant improvement in the alignment performed by the DTW algorithm when conducted in a segmented manner, resulting in an LWD curve more faithful to the original.
