Considering the fact that, the use of wireless communication systems has grown too fast, investigations concerning absorbers of electromagnetic waves has called closer attention of researchers. It is applicable from indoor systems to military applications. Paralleling with this growth, some extremely relevant investigations through Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) allows its filter property to be applicable in several systems, for example: reflector antennas, band-pass radomes, and absorbers, which are the main objective of this work. Therefore, the main goal of this work concerns to design micro-waves absorbers through FSS. Thus, the methodology consists basically in two steps: the first step concerns a theoretical and numerical analysis of the structures involved in the process of absorption, the second step, the analysis of the cascaded structures. In order to carry out the analysis, the Equivalent Circuit Method will be used. This method provides characteristics of transmission from the structure, for a plane wave incidence and it requires an extremely limited computing resource in relation if compared to full wave analyses method. Hence, it is useful to allow fast predictions of the development of the structures. Furthermore, a spreading matrix will be used in order to cascade the conductive FSS and the resistive FSS achieving absorption characteristics in the designed band. The experimental results used for the analysis are found in the literature due to the difficulty of building soon, given that it is not a simple construction technique. To conclude, a mathematical development through the Equivalent Circuit Method of a FSS modeling with cross-dipole geometry and a resistive FSS will be presented, as well as the cascading involving the two structures. The same setting is used with a square loop geometry. Besides it, the next steps will be discussed in the conclusion.

This study aims to systematize elements for territorial development analyzing attributes of social capital present in the territories of Rio Grande do Norte. Unlike other studies about the subject, it is not intended to measure the stock of social capital, but rather to reveal the phenomenon of social organization and its implications, considering territories examined are already made around social capital structures. Case study were used as strategy research because it is enables to understand holistic features and significant events within the context of real life. For this research were selected representatives of public and social institutions involved in territorial collegiate specifically those of the governing core, selected from the more effective involvement of discretion in structure, functioning and meetings. The three territories have similar realities, are products of a public policy that is based on common criteria and present interdependence between categories of analysis of social capital. The presence or absence of any relationship - link, bridge or connection - influences the performance of territorial policy, affecting the social organization and fostering processes of access to information. In the cases at hand, despite the similarity of the general conditions of structure and function, the Apodi has qualities superior to the other. The presence of Dom Helder Camara project that articulates, in parallel to the Territory of Citizenship, the same actors of public policy with social mobilization capacity and effectiveness of actions, is able to encourage different development processes at Apodi. This can be explanatory factor, the tangent construct social capital, so that the territory present living conditions and better levels of development than the other two addressed here.

This thesis develops a new technique for composite microstructures projects by the Topology Optimization process, in order to maximize rigidity, making use of Deformation Energy Method and using a refining scheme h-adaptative to obtain a better defining the topological contours of the microstructure. This is done by distributing materials optimally in a region of pre-established project named as Cell Base. In this paper, the Finite Element Method is used to describe the field and for government equation solution. The mesh is refined iteratively refining so that the Finite Element Mesh is made on all the elements which represent solid materials, and all empty elements containing at least one node in a solid material region. The Finite Element Method chosen for the model is the linear triangular three nodes. As for the resolution of the nonlinear programming problem with constraints we were used Augmented Lagrangian method, and a minimization algorithm based on the direction of the Quasi-Newton type and Armijo-Wolfe conditions assisting in the lowering process. The Cell Base that represents the composite is found from the equivalence between a fictional material and a preescribe material, distributed optimally in the project area. The use of the strain energy method is justified for providing a lower computational cost due to a simpler formulation than traditional homogenization method. The results are presented prescription with change, in displacement with change, in volume restriction and from various initial values of relative densities.

In the last 16 years emerged in Brazil a segment of independent producers with focus on onshore basins and shallow waters. Among the challenges of these companies is the development of fields with projects with a low net present value (NPV). The objective of this work was to study the technical-economical best option to develop an oil field in the Brazilian Northeast using reservoir simulation. Real geology, reservoir and production data was used to build the geological and simulation model. Due to not having PVT analysis, distillation method test data known as the true boiling points (TBP) were used to create a fluids model generating the PVT data. After execution of the history match, four development scenarios were simulated: the extrapolation of production without new investments, the conversion of a producing well for immiscible gas injection, the drilling of a vertical well and the drilling of a horizontal well. As a result, from the financial point of view, the gas injection is the alternative with lower added value, but it may be viable if there are environmental or regulatory restrictions to flaring or venting the produced gas into the atmosphere from this field or neighboring accumulations. The recovery factor achieved with the drilling of vertical and horizontal wells is similar, but the horizontal well is a project of production acceleration; therefore, the present incremental cumulative production with a minimum rate of company's attractiveness is higher. Depending on the crude oil Brent price and the drilling cost, this option can be technically and financially viable.

The Sustainability has been evidence in the world today; organizations have sought to be more and more into this philosophy in their processes, whether products or attendance. In the present work were manufactured eco-composites with animal fiber (dog wool) that is currently discarded into the environment without any use. Project phases consisted on the initial treatment of fibers with alkaline solution (NaOH) at 0.05 mols for removal of impurities, developing methods to convert these fibers (reinforcement) blended with castor oil polyurethane (matrix) in eco-composite with different proportions (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%). Fiber properties were evaluated by analysis of SEM, XRD and FTIR. The composites were produced by compression molding with dimensions 30x30x1cm. For characterization of the composites the following tests were performed: mechanical (tensile, compression, shore hardness A) according the standards and testing water absorption, moisture regain and biodegradation. The analysis of thermal properties on fibers and composites were by TG, DSC, thermal conductivity, resistivity, heat capacity and thermal resistance. Analyzing the results of these tests, it was observed that the composite reinforced with 20% showed a better thermal performance between others composites and dimensional stability when compared to commercial thermal insulation. Also is possible to observe a balance in moisture absorption of the composite being shown with its higher absorption rate in this same sample (20%). The micrographs show the fiber interaction regions with polyurethane to fill the empty spaces. In hardness and compression testing can identify that with increasing percentage of the fiber material acquires a greater stiffness by making a higher voltage is used for forming necessary. So by the tests performed in eco-composites, the highest percentage of fiber used as reinforcement in their composition obtained a better performance compared to the remaining eco-composites, reaching values very close to the PU.

Reading and writing are essential rights, which involve individual and social aspects; in addition, these skills are important when it comes to socio economic and political development, critical thinking and an active participation in society (UNESCO 2005). From a neurobiological standpoint, our brain is not prepared for reading, and this practice must be deliberately acquired via instructional guidance (DEHAENE 2009). However, reading disorders and deficits within executive functions, such as low working memory capacity, can make reading arduous. The aim of this study is to investigate the development of reading skills within 45 third grade students from public schools in the city of Natal – RN and its connection to working memory capacity, through information gathered from the Provinha Brasil, data generated from working memory tasks (Portuguese version of AWMA - Automated Working Memory Assessment) and fluid intelligence measures RAVEN. Based on this main objective, we attempted to answer the following research questions: (a) What are the correlations between working memory and reading scores?; (b) What characterizes the relationship between working memory capacity and the risk of reading disabilities amongst the participants in this study?; Following a quantitative research methodology, the Provinhas Brasil from 3rd grade students belonging to the six public schools members of Project ACERTA - Avaliação de Crianças em Risco de Transtornos de Aprendizagem (CAPES/OBEDUC)- were analyzed and compared to the scores from the working memory tests and the fluid intelligence ones. Results indicate that reading skills within children at risk of reading disabilities are directly linked to working memory capacity, especially with regards to the phonological component. It is also evident that the participants with less working memory capacity show more difficulties in the reading abilities that demand interpretation skills. Thus, we intend to contribute to the discussion regarding the diagnosis of reading disabilities and possible intervention strategies.

Training in Architecture and Urbanism with its general characteristic involves, in its nature, knowledge of various areas (technology, theory, history, representation, and design), being the space of design conception that place where the synthesis of this knowledge is reflected more clearly. We believe that the integrated work in the architectural curriculum can provide an overview of the project, thus contributing to better training of the architect. This research aims to reflect on the role of integration and interdisciplinary in teaching architectural design. This theme has been work recurrently by critics in the teaching area of project and events of the area as the seminars of the Projetar, highlighted by several authors to search integration as an essential pedagogical approach to design education. The work aims to contribute to reflection and awareness of those involved on the importance of integration in the architectural course of project processes. For this, we analyzed the potential and limits of this process in Architecture and Urbanism Course (CAU) at the Universidade Potiguar (UNP) Mossoró, which has the integration and interdisciplinary recorded since the Pedagogical Project of the Course. This analysis will be performed by observing the development of “interdisciplinary work” in the fifth term during the first half of 2014.1. This research concerns an exploratory qualitative study that aims to investigate specific issues on the teaching/learning architecture project and the integration in architecture courses, following a non-participant observation in architectural design classes in the fifth term of CAU/UnP/ Mossoró, and analysis of final products, which would be the work of the last unit of the semester, called “Interdisciplinary work”. Questionnaires for the teachers who participated in the process has been apply via email and analyzed. Reflection supports several other already carried out to identify the difficulties inherent in applying these principles satisfactorily. Noting, however, that interdisciplinarity, in fact, it goes beyond integration and is even more difficult to achieve. In addition to an educational project that incorporates these principles, such as the course of Architecture and Urbanism of the UNP-Mossoró, full adhesion it is necessary by the faculty and students of this teaching philosophy.

O presente trabalho constitui uma investigação levada a cabo no âmbito do Mestrado e Ensino do 1.º e 2.º Ciclos de Educação Básica. A problemática surgiu no decorrer da minha prática pedagógica no seio de uma turma do 6.º ano, numa Escola Básica do centro do país. Partindo da necessidade da tomada de posição perante o ensino e a sua finalidade, centra-se na perspetiva de que além da promoção de aquisição de informação, conteúdo e experiência Matemática, também é finalidade do ensino desta disciplina o desenvolvimento de atitudes positivas face à mesma e a capacidade de apreciar esta ciência. Pretende verificar o efeito de um trabalho de projeto nas atitudes dos alunos, pois conhecer apenas a atitude que apresentam em relação à matemática não previne que a mesma evolua no sentido negativo ao longo da escolaridade obrigatória. O projeto realizado na turma teve como dinâmica o trabalho de grupo, no qual os alunos desempenharam o papel de produtores e de consumidores de informação estatística. Avalia a atitude dos alunos em três momentos da concretização do projeto – antes, durante e depois; por forma a evidenciar semelhanças e diferenças nos três momentos, bem como o que poderá ter influenciado o resultado obtido. Considerando a atitude com base em três componentes principais – afetiva, cognitiva e comportamental, a análise dos dados traduziu-se na análise das expressões de comportamento verbal e não-verbal a partir da qual foi inferida a componente de atitude refletida. Os resultados obtidos apontam para uma melhoria nas atitudes dos alunos mediante a metodologia utilizada, nomeadamente no que respeita à apreciação desta ciência através da compreensão da sua aplicabilidade no quotidiano diário e futuro profissional, bem como ao autoconhecimento das suas competências em relação ao tema matemático abordado. Poderia ter tido uma influência mais positiva nas atitudes dos alunos, nomeadamente na componente comportamental, se estes já tivessem desenvolvido competências intrínsecas ao trabalho cooperativo.

Desde sempre que a tecnologia tem procurado ajudar, complementar ou mesmo substituir o ser humano em todas as suas tarefas e necessidades mais tediosas e/ou perigosas. A indústria automóvel é das que mais investe na investigação e desenvolvimento desta área, procurando desenvolver viaturas inteligentes, baseados em condução autónoma que ajudem o ser humano enquanto condutor, seja ao nível do conforto como da segurança. Em Portugal, no Festival Nacional de Robótica, existe uma prova onde se aplicam conceitos de decisão, controlo e visão para a condução autónoma num ambiente à escala. É com este conceito em mente que se executa este projeto, com a intenção de construir um veículo à escala, com direção de Ackerman, com a capacidade de se conduzir sem a intervenção ou controlo humano, que possa ser também utilizado na referida prova de competição. O projeto criado é baseado num sistema de controlo de baixo nível, responsável por controlar a velocidade, direção e travagem do veículo, sob comando de um sistema de alto nível baseado em visão computacional. O sistema desenvolvido foi testado, com sucesso, numa fase preliminar na prova a que se destinava. A versão atual do veículo inclui duas câmaras (uma delas móvel) para aquisição de informação múltipla, e codificadores nas rodas para um controlo mais preciso da velocidade do veículo.

A crescente valorização dos recursos patrimoniais tem adotado uma importância particular nas últimas décadas, especialmente no que diz respeito às áreas rurais. Estas áreas são vítimas de processos de descaracterização devido à ausência de dinamismo económico e à consequente perda significativa de população. A conceção de novas estratégias implica um conhecimento aprofundado do potencial endógeno destes territórios para que seja possível perceber até que ponto os elementos da paisagem e o seu substrato natural podem ser entendidos e valorizados patrimonialmente, contribuindo desta forma para o desenvolvimento local sustentável através do aproveitamento turístico. Apesar de nos últimos anos ter sido verificado um crescente interesse pelas áreas rurais, tanto para viver como para visitar, ainda persiste uma imagem negativa destes territórios. E é necessário, portanto, pensar imagens de marca fortes e coerentes que apostem no carácter diferenciador destes espaços. O objetivo desta investigação passa pela avaliação da importância que o marketing territorial pode representar no desenvolvimento de pequenos territórios com potencialidades culturais. Estas constituem uma estratégia de promoção destes locais, contribuindo significativamente para o desenvolvimento dos próprios territórios, uma vez que para o aumento da atratividade territorial poderá induzir a um maior investimento e a um maior número de visitantes. A área de estudo selecionada para uma avaliação mais aprofundada será a região do Alentejo, que desembocará num projeto cultural criativo com ênfase no distrito de Portalegre. Este Projeto tem como fundo de base, a promoção turístico-cultural de um conjunto de pequenas vilas tradicionais pertencentes ao distrito, agrupando as mesmas numa rede coletiva de identidade comum. Este processo exige um estudo elaborado no que diz respeito aos recursos de vertente e potencialidade cultural destes territórios de modo a que consigamos transformá-las numa nova imagem de marca. Mais importante que o próprio património material e imaterial já previamente reconhecido são as pequenas narrativas locais que nos esclarecem quanto à sua história e identidade dos próprios residentes. O produto final será a construção de uma nova rede turístico-cultural que agrupe estas pequenas vilas num só roteiro. Para tal, é necessária a construção de um guia cultural criativo, onde a nova imagem destes locais se constrói pelas pequenas histórias e narrativas de interesse cultural. Na prática este produto será concretizado de três formas, impresso, online, e sob a forma de uma aplicação para mobile phone.

O presente relatório de Mestrado foi elaborado no âmbito do Mestrado em Educação em Educação Pré-Escolar, no ano letivo 2014/2015, na Escola Superior de Educação e Ciências Socias do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria. Apresenta-se dividido em duas partes que remetem para o percurso de desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional na Prática de Ensino Supervisionada no contexto de creche e no contexto de jardim-de-infância. A parte I é relativa às vivências em contexto de creche e é dividida em dois pontos. Em primeiro lugar exponho uma componente reflexiva sobre o meu percurso formativo durante a Prática Pedagógica em contexto de creche, onde reflito sobre as experiências vividas com as crianças. No segundo ponto revelo o ensaio investigativo desenvolvido com duas crianças que teve por base a questão “Quais as formas de interação que as crianças estabelecem entre si quando escutam música, na sala de atividades?”. Os principais resultados revelaram que as crianças interagiam com os seus pares essencialmente através do olhar e do sorriso. A parte II é igualmente dividida em dois pontos. Inicialmente dou a conhecer a dimensão reflexiva que assentou nas experiências e aprendizagens que decorreram da Prática Pedagógica em contexto de jardim-de-infância. Segue-se o projeto “Investigando os caracóis com as crianças” onde dou a conhecer o trabalho desenvolvido com as crianças no âmbito da Metodologia de Trabalho de Projeto. Esta metodologia permitiu-me compreender o carácter ativo da criança na construção das suas aprendizagens e a importância da motivação e interesses das crianças nesse processo.
