Orientador: Antonio Francisco Marques / Banca: Maria José da Silva Fernandes / Banca: Marcia Cristina Argenti Perez / Resumo: No Brasil, percebe-se um aumento de ações violentas e agressivas, na resolução de conflitos, fenômeno que tem sido objeto de estudo não só da Educação, como também da Psicologia, da Sociologia e da Saúde. No âmbito escolar, além de gerar tensões nas relações sociais, interferem no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Diante desse cenário, a pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar os conflitos entre alunos e as formas de resolução, através da percepção dos sujeitos escolares, assim como por intermédio da revisão de literatura e dos documentos escolares, tendo em vista propor possibilidades à aprendizagem e ao desenvolvimento das relações sociais, no sentido de melhorar as relações no ambiente escolar. O trabalho é composto por uma revisão de literatura, seguida de reflexões teóricas e uma investigação qualitativa, a qual teve como objeto de estudo os conflitos entre os alunos. A partir da definição do objetivo e da apresentação das concepções de educação escolar e prática educativa que norteiam este trabalho, levantaram-se conhecimentos acerca da temática, em quatro bases de dados: SciELO, ERIC, CAPES e BDTD. Em seguida, apresentam-se reflexões a respeito de conflito, violência e relações sociais na escola. Na pesquisa empírica de cunho qualitativo, utilizaram-se, para a coleta de dados: observação, questionário e entrevista. Os participantes da pesquisa foram os alunos dos quartos e quintos anos do Ensino Fundamental, os professores das classes, professores e monitores culturais e os...

In the school context, besides generating tensions in social relations, interfere in the teaching-learning process. In view of this scenario, the research had as objective to study the conflicts between students and the forms of resolution, through the perception of the school subjects, as well as through the review of literature and school documents, aiming to propose possibilities for learning and development of social relations, in order to improve relations in the school environment. The work is composed of a review of the literature, followed by theoretical reflections and a qualitative investigation, which had as object of study the conflicts between the students. Based on the definition of the objective and the presentation of the conceptions of school education and educational practice that guide this work, knowledge about the subject was raised in four databases: SciELO, ERIC, CAPES and BDTD. Then, reflections on conflict, violence and social relations in the school are presented. In qualitative empirical research, data collection, observation, questionnaire and interview were used. The research participants were fourth and fifth year primary school students, teachers of classes, teachers and cultural monitors and the coordinators of a full-time municipal p...

The purpose of this thesis is to experimentally determine the feasibility of an ejector based, waste heat recovery driven refrigeration system applied to the data center environment in order to reduce operational cooling costs. A comprehensive literature review is detailed to determine the current state of the ejector refrigeration research and assess the initial direction of this thesis. A simplified model was created to perform preliminary performance estimations and system sizing before constructing an experimental system apparatus to evaluate the model predictions. The pressures and temperatures used in the model and instituted in the experimental system are based on the maximum temperatures typically observed in computing servers (50-75°C). Precision controlled heaters are used to simulate the computer server heat, and R245fa is used as the working fluid. Performance results ranged from 0.06 to 0.13.
