The rhea (Rhea americana) is the largest bird in South America, inhabiting, for example, the floodplains of the Pantanal and the savannas known as Cerrado in Brazil. In that study, the emu diet was evaluated in the Pantanal, revealing a variety of foods, with emphasis on leaves, fruits/seeds, invertebrates and small vertebrates. A diversity of plants consumed included legumes and species with fleshy fruits, such as Psidium sp. (Myrtaceae) and large palm seeds. This food variada suggests a potential role in seed dispersal, with the presence of apparently intact in feces. In a second stage carried out with emus in captivity revealed that they have a long gastrointestinal passage time, allowing the dispersal of seeds over long distances. The seeds ingested by R. americana presented variable results in germination, with some species benefited and others did not. The population decline of rheas could affect the regeneration of plants, especially when thinking about the quantitative component of the dispersal of seeds or dispersal distances. Understanding the ecological relationship between R. americana and native plants seems important for the dynamics and conservation of ecosystems where the species occurs.

The composite structures of timber and concrete appeared at the end of the First and Second World Wars, with the intention of replacing steel. This system seeks to use the advantages of both materials, wood presents good performance in tension and concrete in compression, however, due to the different properties of the materials it is difficult to predict the exact working mechanism of the connection system, thus how to measure the calculation of the slip modulus. In this scenario, the present research aimed to evaluate the factors that influence the service slip modulus (Kser) in a T-section beam composed of a concrete table and a wooden core, joined by metallic connectors. This analysis was carried out using a parametric approach via the finite element method, so that in the end it was possible to obtain a multiple variable regression equation to estimate the Kser with coefficient of determination R2 = 79.07 %, which highlights the good precision obtained in estimating this important structural variable.

There is a cellphone trade that happens mainly from Ciudad del Este (PY). It will be presented based on two specific journeys: “artisan” and “systematic”. This research is part of a movement that aims to think about different faces of “popular globalization” indicating actors, strategies and accumulation. Analysing the characteristics of these journeys, it is presented that sacolagem is a fundamental part of contemporary globalization, since it creates tension, legitimations, normative regimes and circulation of money displaced from hegemonic elites such as established retail stores. To capture these displacements, we operate multi-situated ethnography, inserting possible journeys, in other words, in episodic sequences of displacement captured in the field, and complemented with videos and documentaries representing the observed reality. Moreover, secondary data such as those from the Internal Brazilian Revenue Service and the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) were collected and processed.

The Brazilian graphics sector is strategic and important, enabling the dissemination of information and improvement in Brazilian education. However, there is a lack of scientific research regarding the methodology and philosophy of Lean Manufacturing. The objective of this work is to evaluate the relationship between the thinking of maximizing the use of resources, which contrasts with the philosophy of lean thinking. From a conceptual and theoretical point of view, a systematic bibliographic review was carried out that presented the difficulties and what approaches there are in the literature regarding the implementation of pull production in environments with a high variety of products and high seasonality of demand. From an empirical point of view, an in-depth case study was carried out in a company in the Brazilian graphics sector to understand the reasons and difficulties that decision-making leaders have in changing a mentality focused on efficiency to a mentality focused on reduction. of waste, being the main problematization in which this dissertation seeks to discover. To answer the questions elaborated in the empirical part, the research presented two propositions on how companies should seek to reevaluate their strategies and efficiency indicators and the implementation of Lean Manufacturing practices offer a solid structure to face the organizational challenges inherent to changing the mentality of efficiency in organizations.

The study of melodrama, traditionally linked to literary and cinematic studies, is increasingly being applied in sociological analyses addressing cultural and historical phenomena. This dissertation examines how the concept of melodramatic imagination, proposed by authors like Peter Brooks and Thomas Elsaesser, transcends the boundaries of gender studies and provides a powerful lens for analyzing documentary narratives about the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. By highlighting how different documentaries adopt melodramatic strategies to portray the impeachment, an ideological polarization is revealed in which political figures are depicted as heroes or villains, influencing public opinion. The research emphasizes that melodrama is not merely a stylistic tool, but a moral language that shapes and legitimizes ideological discourse, offering a deeper understanding of contemporary political dynamics and the strategies for constructing their meanings.

Upon sectioning a hollow core slab into two ribs, a structural element with an innovative manufacturing process is obtained, here referred to as hollow core purlins, proposing a solution for roof structures. Although it offers a potential increase in production for manufacturers of precast concrete elements, hollow core purlins lack regulatory prescriptions, as they do not include transverse reinforcement. Therefore, the objective of the study is to conduct an experimental program to verify the technical feasibility of the structural element and to propose a calculation procedure that reproduces the behavior of the piece. To achieve this goal, six samples of hollow core purlins were studied. Initially, visual analyses were conducted on the manufacturing characteristics and variations in the cross-sectional geometry of each purlin unit. Subsequently, the pieces underwent a non-destructive positive bending strength test to characterize the stiffness and effective tensile strength values of the concrete. Following this, tests were performed to determine the resistance to shear force in order to identify the rupture mechanism of the elements. Finally, the experimentally obtained values were compared to theoretical calculation values based on the concrete compression strength, derived from factory quality control, to establish a relationship that demonstrates the tension shear mechanism, as published by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards in NBR 14861 (2022), as the calculation procedure that best represents the behavior of the pieces by reproducing considerations about the cross-sectional geometry. The tests conducted in this study demonstrated that the pieces are capable of resisting shear forces, which are considered the main concern in the structural analysis of the element and ensure structural performance in accordance with established regulatory standards, thus ensuring the technical feasibility of hollow core purlins.

The way urban development occurs in cities generally leads to major changes in the physical environment, such as increased demands on natural resources, environmental degradation, and alteration of the natural surface. With the process of urbanization, the surfaces of urban centers tend to become impervious, which alters the natural hydrological cycle of water. With the increase in surface runoff rates generated by this sealing, there is a need to implement more robust and complex stormwater management systems. Due to the recurrent flooding scenarios observed in recent years, discussions on urban drainage have become frequent, especially in developing countries such as Brazil. In these discussions, sustainable approaches to urban drainage have gained prominence, and much research has been conducted on their application. However, it is still clear that there are challenges to be overcome to better understand the use of more sustainable techniques that seek to restore, in some way, the natural water cycle. Given this scenario, this work aims to apply hydrological modeling in an area of recognized social vulnerability in the municipality of Juiz de Fora-MG, susceptible to recurrent flooding. Despite having an urbanized occupation, this area, far from the urban center of the municipality, has suffered few actions by public authorities, as happens in many vulnerable areas in Brazil. Using a predefined model, it is expected to simulate the application of detention basins in the area in question, as well as the application of more conventional techniques, to evaluate the impact generated on the local macrodrainage system. After carrying out the proposed simulations, it is expected to obtain, by way of comparison, a relationship between the implementation, maintenance, and operating costs of these approaches.

Acute kidney injury is one of the most complex conditions in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. However, predictors of acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19 are not yet well understood. Objective: To investigate the incidence and predictive factors for the development of acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with moderate and severe COVID-19 during a seven-day hospitalization period at a university hospital in the countryside of São Paulo. Methods: This is a quantitative, retrospective cohort study, in a seven-day time series. Information was extracted from medical records of individuals over 18 years old (N= 360), diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted between March 2020 and March 2021 in the hospitalization sector. Acute kidney injury was defined based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. Sociodemographic data (age, age range, sex, skin color, marital status and education) and clinical and laboratory conditions (severity of COVID-19, stages of acute kidney injury, Charlson comorbidity index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, chronic lung disease, dyslipidemia, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus with complications, dementia, cancer, peptide ulcer, mild liver disease, hemiplegia, peripheral vascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, death, peripheral oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen on admission, urea, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, albumin, hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, platelets, c-reactive protein, D-dimer) were collected. All ethical precepts were respected. Statistical analysis: The probability of developing acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and the log-rank test was used to calculate its statistical significance. To analyze factors associated with the risk of developing acute kidney injury, Cox multivariate analysis was performed. Results: A total of 360 patients without acute kidney injury at hospital admission were included in this study. Of these, 36 (10%) developed acute kidney injury within seven days of observation. Survival analysis demonstrated that there was a significant difference in the incidence of acute kidney injury in the groups aged greater than or equal to 60 years (p=0.02), sex (p=0.04), hypertension (p<0.01), diabetes mellitus (p=0.04) and heart failure (p<0.01). Multivariate analysis confirmed that age (HR 1.027; 95%CI 1.003-1.051; p=0.03), serum creatinine levels (HR 17.795; 95%CI 4.104-77.156; p<0.01) and C-reactive protein on admission (HR 1.052; 95%CI 1.009-1.098; p=0.02) were factors associated with the risk of developing acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Conclusion: The incidence of acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 was 10.0%, and age, high serum creatinine and C-reactive protein levels were factors associated with the risk of developing acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The results may assist in care strategies for patients who had COVID-19 and who developed AKI after a seven-day hospitalization period. Provides evidence of the importance of kidney health in patients with COVID-19 and the need to monitor these patients after hospital discharge, continuing this important line of investigation.

The FeMnAlC steels are highlighted in the current scientific field thanks to the great demand from the automotive industry for advanced materials with high specific strength. Aluminum is one of the main elements responsible for reducing density. However, this element also reduces the modulus of elasticity, limiting their applications. In this context, incorporating ceramic particles with low density and high modulus of elasticity, is a promising strategy to reestablish the value of modulus of elasticity, further reducing density and improving the performance of these materials. The present study evaluated the effect of the addition of Ti and B on the microstructure and physical and mechanical properties of steels from the FeMnAlC system, produced by different processing routes, aiming to obtain a composite with a metallic matrix reinforced with TiB2 particles. The first stage involved thermodynamic calculations - CALPHAD method - and the production of the composites by the arc melting route to study the influence of the steel's alloying elements on the in-situ formation of the TiB2. It was concluded that carbon is a key element since its presence reduces the formation of TiB2. The effect of the matrix and the fraction of TiB2 particles - 5% and 10% by volume - was evaluated through spray forming route. After selecting the composite with the best combination of properties, the microstructural, physical, and mechanical implications associated with processing by laser powder bed fusion were studied. The high cooling rates promoted substantial microstructural refinement but suppressed the formation of the target TiB2. Instead, the complex (Fe,Mn)2B was formed. Based on the comparison between processing routes, the composite with a ferritic matrix reinforced with 5% vol. of TiB2, processed by spray forming, stood out with the best combination of properties.

Many-core architectures can contain dozens or even hundreds of processing cores on a single chip, being used in high-performance applications due to their parallel execution capability. Although they offer great potential for task-level parallelism, they face challenges, particularly in the efficient division and communication among tasks. Communication among cores is essential, especially with the use of Network-on-Chip (NoC), which aims to solve scalability and energy efficiency issues. This paves the way for optimizing these approaches, both in terms of hardware support and mapping and routing strategies. Several specific simulators for NoCs have been developed to evaluate and optimize this potential. However, the majority are complex, operating at lower levels of the architecture, such as in the functional and performance characteristics of routers, and do not encompass mapping strategies. While they are excellent specialized tools, they offer little flexibility, being suited to specific scenarios or fixed configurations. This can create a demand for simpler comparative studies, with a lower learning curve and greater flexibility. To complement these efforts and fill possible gaps, this thesis proposes a method for exploring high-level mapping and routing strategies, called the NoC Simulator. This approach enables initial studies and comparisons of many-core designs, including customizable optimization algorithms for mapping parallel tasks of arbitrary complexity, as well as routing algorithms. With its simplified and modular approach, the proposed simulator allows users to distinguish each process of the simulation, from parameter configuration to performance metric evaluation, focusing on energy consumption. Experimental results confirmed its reliability in estimating simplified energy consumption, demonstrating its utility for design space exploration analyses and comparisons among different mapping and routing strategies. Thus, it constitutes an interesting approach for teaching and research activities in the field.

Advancements in information technologies have leveraged the delivery of various digital services, which has transformed work practices and facilitated telework. In the Brazilian Federal Public Administration, the first step toward new work arrangements and, consequently, the possibility of telework, was the publication of Decree Nº 1.590 of August 10, 1995. However, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic that this expansion solidified (Brazil, 2024). In the first year of the pandemic, the Federal Public Administration issued Normative Instruction Nº 65 on July 30, 2020, and later, Decree Nº 11,072 on May 17, 2022. These regulations established rules for the implementation of the Management and Performance Program (PGD) and provided guidance on telecommuting (Brazil, 2020e, 2022b). At the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), telecommuting was initially implemented as an emergency measure in March 2020 to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Subsequently, on June 3, 2022, GR Ordinance Nº 5.684/2022 was approved, regulating the Management Program at UFSCar. According to university norms, it is the responsibility of each organizational unit’s leadership, in collaboration with their teams, to assess the feasibility of implementing the Management Program within their unit and determine the possible modes of work. Considering the role of leadership in this process, the overarching goal of this study is to identify the factors influencing managers’ decision-making regarding the adoption or non-adoption of telework for employees during the implementation of the Management Program at UFSCar. To conduct this study, a qualitative research approach was employed. The research is designed as a single-case study with a descriptive nature. Data were collected through documentary research, participant observation, and questionnaires. The questionnaire was administered to immediate supervisors in administrative and academic units at UFSCar, where employees are enrolled in the Management Program. The research aims to understand the decision-making process related to telecommuting adoption, with the results contributing to best practices in telecommuting management that enhance its continuity and effectiveness within UFSCar.

This research aims to investigate the digital transformation in the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo, specifically in the 4th Civil Court of the District of Bauru. To this end, a historical contextualization of the digital transformation process is carried out, and an analysis of the dimensions of the digital transformation process and the benefits found in the light of scientific literature. Subsequently, the process of digital transformation in the public sector and specifically in the Brazilian Judiciary is covered in depth, analyzing the transformations resulting from the implementation of the electronic judicial process as one of the tools used in order to adapt the way of working to the technological innovations resulting from the evolution of information and communication technologies. The implementation challenges and benefits found with digital transformation in the public sector are also analyzed. The methodological path follows the precepts of qualitative research, uses the single case study method and collects data through documentary research, semi-structured interview scripts and participant observation. A single case study is carried out in the 4th Civil Court of the District of Bauru, in order to verify the challenges faced by civil servants when implementing the electronic judicial process in each of the dimensions of the digital transformation process and whether the benefits found in the literature were felt in that judicial unit of the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo. In this way, the following were carried out: (i) documentary research on the website of the organization studied, in search of regulations that regulate digital transformation, (ii) interviews with 66.6% of employees - technicians and magistrates - of the 4th Civil Court of the District of Bauru, belonging to the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo to understand the digital transformation process in that unit, through the analysis of each of the dimensions proposed in the literature and the benefits felt or not by employees with the use of the electronic judicial process , and (iii) participant observation to discuss the challenges and benefits experienced with the digital transformation in that judicial unit. The results indicated that the 4th Civil Court of Bauru developed in the human-technological and organizational dimensions, while there was partial development in the human and technological dimensions. It is also concluded that in the organizational-technological and organizational-human dimensions there was no satisfactory development. In relation to benefits, it was found that the levels of delivery of results (efficiency), quality of service and productivity were met, while only the level of meeting citizen expectations only partially reached the expected level. Finally, an analysis model for digital transformation at the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo is presented, which can be replicated in other organizations, public or private.

Studies on programs that teach Portuguese to children of Brazilians living abroad, a field known as Portuguese as a heritage language, show that adolescents’ connection with their parents’ roots and native language tends to weaken as they grow up. Some of the possible consequences of this weakened connection with the parents’ home country are loss of their heritage language and culture, and a lack of belonging to their inherited identity. This research was born out of my interest in identifying ways to avoid or reverse this disconnection of adolescents from their heritage language and culture (HLC). The main goal of this work is to the understand the adolescents’ perspective on their journey of learning Portuguese as a heritage language (PHL), in relation to the level of connection they have with the Brazilian identity. The specific objectives are a. to identify whether there is an influence of the PHL learning process and path on the learner’s connection to the Brazilian identity; b. to analyze adolescents’ perceptions about the process of acquiring the Portuguese language since childhood and the construction of awareness in this language. The research context involves the learning path of two teenagers, who happen to be my sons, born and raised in the USA, and exposed to a bilingual and multicultural environment since they were born. As for the theoretical framework, I turned to authors with relevant work in the field, such as Flores (2015), Hall (2006), Ellis (2007), Montrul (2012), Wang (2015), Zhou and Liu (2023), among others. I chose narrative inquiry as the method, qualitative in nature, anchored in the theoretical-methodological perspective of Amado (2014), Barkhuizen (2015) e Barcelos (2020). The instruments used were individual semi-structured interviews and a round of conversation with the two teenagers. The assumptions that the concept of identity for learners of heritage language and culture is fluid, dynamic and results from the experiences and situations lived in the host country and that the acquisition of Portuguese as a heritage language by teenagers is trespassed by affectivity and intrinsically linked to the creation of opportunities for/by families to use the language are key for this research. Besides, it’s important to consider that, although there is a high rate of adolescents who, over the years, move further away from their origins, others keep close ties to their HLC. I hope this study will contribute to shed light upon critical issues regarding the transmission-acquisition process of PHL for adolescents in relation to the connection they establish with their cultural roots and inspire parents and educators to encourage them to continue (or resume) their language acquisition path.

The objective of this study was to understand the challenges faced by women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), with a specific focus on the data field. To achieve this, interviews were conducted with seven women working in this area to gain a deeper understanding of their professional experiences and the challenges they encounter. Additionally, a literature review was performed to explore the issue of gender disparity in the labor market, along with the collection of secondary data about the data field in Brazil. The results highlight a significant impact on career progression, stress levels at work, and the receptiveness of colleagues to their opinions, all due to the fact that they are women. Furthermore, some limitations of corporate diversity policies were observed in preventing and mitigating the occurrence of discrimination and microaggressions in the workplace.

Therapeutic alliance refers to the quality and strength of the collaborative relationship between client and therapist, which is built as the therapeutic process unfolds. There is evidence that a well-established therapeutic alliance is one of the main predictors of positive outcomes in the therapeutic process for the client. However, overall, the skills required to form this bond are not systematically taught in undergraduate courses, nor are they based on evidence regarding the effectiveness of methods for teaching thes skills. In light of this, the objectives of the present study were to analyze the academic literature in order to describe: (a) the scientific rigor of the study designs employed, (b) the characteristics of intervention programs offered to teach skills for establishing and maintaining the therapeutic bond to clinical psychology students, and (c) the effects of the programs on students' repertoire and the quality of the therapeutic alliance formed with their clients. The method employed was a systematic review, following the updated version of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The methodological quality of each study was assessed based on the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. A total of 268 publications were identified in four databases (Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO, PsycNET - APA, PubMed, and BVS) and imported into the Rayyan program. After the identification, screening, and abstract reading stages, 18 studies were selected for analysis. After reading the full papers to determine eligibility, nine studies were included in the systematic review. The results show that there are programs for training alliance skills (alliance focused training - AFT). Some of the skills taught involve building bonds, aswell as skills to repair ruptures in this affective bond. Relationship aspects involving commitment to the therapeutic process were also addressed. Three main strategies were found for teaching these skills: video feedbacks and role-plays activities. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effects of the programs. The main limitation of the review conducted is the multiplicity of terms being used in this area, so some relevant texts may not have been identified. In future studies, it will be important to invest in the development of an AFT program for use in Brazil, verifying the effectiveness of the teaching process with multiple informants (e.g., supervisors, therapists, clients, and observers not connected to the first three groups of informants). In this way, it will be possible to contribute to improvements in the quality of training for Brazilian psychologists and, therefore, to the effects of the psychotherapeutic services provided

The increase in the number of women in the labor market has been a prevailing trend in Brazil in recent years. Nonetheless, the literature underscores the invisibility of women in science and their integration into the workforce. The ascent of women in this domain remains symbolic vis-à-vis the extensive spectrum of opportunities available. One plausible explanation for the gender disparity may be attributed to societal stereotypes suggesting divergent aptitudes for specific career paths between genders. These stereotypes have adversely affected the motivation and interest of female students in scientific disciplines during their educational trajectory. Against this backdrop, the research aims to probe the following inquiry: What manifestations of Scientific Literacy can be discerned in the execution of a project from the STEAM perspective by female students in Middle School II? The scrutinized project, titled "Readings: a platform aiding in alleviating reading challenges for children with ADHD and dyslexia," was conceived and implemented by three female students in the 9th grade of Middle School II. This endeavor addressed tangible issues, offering contextualized and interdisciplinary content, endeavoring to proffer feasible solutions or prototypes. The research data were amassed during Integrated Axis sessions at a SESI school situated in the hinterlands of São Paulo state. Data gathering transpired through a journal maintained by participating students and supplemented by an interview conducted by the instructor-researcher. Data analysis was underpinned by the categories of Scientific Literacy (SL) entwined with the aims and objectives of science education, encompassing practical, civic, and cultural dimensions. Besides these, additional dimensions pertinent to the acquisition of scientific knowledge were assimilated, such as functional, conceptual, procedural, and the overarching multidimensional dimension. Across the project's duration, signs of Scientific Literacy permeated all categories. The students evinced progressive development in scientific knowledge and prowess, alongside embracing a more discerning stance consonant with the tenets of Scientific Literacy. These findings underscore the imperative of fostering and bolstering female participation in STEAM initiatives, with the aim of catalyzing heightened interest and motivation in scientific disciplines and advancing gender parity in the realms of science and technology. Furthermore, they underscore the significance of Scientific Literacy as an instrument for empowering youth to comprehend and actively engage in the scientific and technological milieu, thereby contributing to the cultivation of a more critically engaged society.

The present work aims to understand the trajectory of wind energy in Brazil and its technological development, as well as the logic and control concepts that have contributed to its construction. To this end, it addresses the period (2002-2022) and seeks to verify how possible interactions between different elements and social spaces can affect technological development, and uses the theoretical support of Technological Systems and elements of Economic Sociology, Sociology of Markets and Scientific and Technological Policy (PCT), providing a broad and interdisciplinary approach inherent to studies in the STS field. In this sense, wind energy in Brazil is analyzed using different perspectives: Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), Brazilian Wind Energy Association (ABEEÓLICA), research carried out in Brazilian universities and the national production of wind turbines. The data and analyzes carried out point to the centrality of Energy Policy in the trajectory of wind energy in Brazil, as well as the rapprochement of the national wind sector with the market and with elements of economic-financial logic, which contributed to the large growth in installed capacity and for the construction of the market related to wind energy, however it limited the technological development in question. Regarding the MCTI perspective for wind energy, the research provides reflections regarding the approach to the market and the emergence of a concept of control carried out by intermediaries.
