The sensors are responsible for monitoring environment aspects such as temperature, lighting and energy consumption. However, the sensors are exposed to adverse conditions and frequent environment changes, which can dramatically affect communication and data flow. Thus, this work proposes a routing algorithm based on fuzzy logic to identify the best routes in an indoor wireless sensor network. The evaluated parameters are presented (RSSI, Standard Deviation and Packet Error Rate) along with the cost definition process for each route, the best route identification sequence and the results obtained in simulation and experimentation. The proposed solution mixes WSN routing techniques along with fuzzy logic to characterize and define the link cost. The developed algorithm was faced with a routing solution based on RSSI. The experiments demonstrate that the solution allows the selection of higher quality links, reducing the probability of packet loss in comparison to the algorithm based on RSSI. / As Redes de Sensores Sem Fio (RSSF) t?m sido uma solu??o amplamente utilizada no contexto de sistemas de gerenciamento de edifica??es. Os sensores s?o respons?veis por monitorar diversos aspectos do ambiente, como temperatura, ilumina??o e consumo de energia. Entretanto, os sensores est?o expostos a condi??es adversas e mudan?as constantes do ambiente, que podem afetar de maneira definitiva a comunica??o e flu?ncia dos dados. Neste sentido, este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de algoritmo de roteamento baseado em l?gica difusa para identifica??o dos melhores caminhos em uma rede de sensores sem fio indoor. S?o apresentados os par?metros utilizados (RSSI, Desvio Padr?o do RSSI e Taxa de Erro de Pacote) para a defini??o do custo de cada caminho, a sequ?ncia de identifica??o de melhor caminho e os resultados obtidos em simula??o e aplica??o pr?tica. A solu??o proposta agrega t?cnicas de roteamento em RSSF ? utiliza??o de l?gica difusa para caracteriza??o e defini??o dos custos dos enlaces entre os sensores. O algoritmo desenvolvido foi confrontado com uma solu??o de roteamento baseada em RSSI. Os experimentos demonstram que a solu??o permite a sele??o de enlaces de melhor qualidade, reduzindo a probabilidade de perda de pacote em compara??o ao algoritmo baseado apenas em RSSI.

No presente trabalho, foi realizada a caracterizaÃÃo fÃsica dos resÃduos sÃlidos domiciliares (lixo), no MunicÃpio de Fortaleza, com o objetivo de conhecer a composiÃÃo dos resÃduos sÃlidos, seus respectivos percentuais e o Ãndice de geraÃÃo per capita. Como primeiro passo, realizou-se revisÃo bibliogrÃfica sobre o tema acerca do pensamento de autores conhecedores do assunto. Em seguida, efetivou-se visita aos ÃrgÃos pÃblicos e procedeu-se entrevistas a tÃcnicos da Empresa Municipal de Limpeza e UrbanizaÃÃo (EMLURB), para obter informaÃÃes sobre o sistema de limpeza urbana e seu gerenciamento. Em seguida, procedeuÂse o reconhecimento de campo com visitas a todos os bairros, considerando a. divisÃo administrativa do MunicÃpio abrangendo as vinte e cinco zonas geradoras lixo (ZGL), que fazem parte das seis secretarias executivas regionais (SER), ao complexo de Jangurussu (triagem e transferÃncia de lixo), ao aterro sanitÃrio, aos estuÃrios dos rios Cearà e CocÃ, a orla, e acompanhamento do. fluxo do lixo (geraÃÃo, coleta, transporte e destino final). E, por Ãltimo, realizou-se o levantamento de campo, onde foram coletadas 792 amostras de lixo produzidas nos domicÃlios permanentes unifamiliares em todos os bairros de Fortaleza, no perÃodo de abril a dezembro do ano de 2004. Como resultados da caracterizaÃÃo dos resÃduos, foram identificados seus componentes e respectivos percentuais nas vinte e cinco ZGLs. Trabalhando esses dados, foi possÃvel determinar a sua distribuiÃÃo mÃdia nas seis SERs, identificar Ãreas com maior produÃÃo de materiais reciclÃveis, a produÃÃo per capita de lixo, e a projeÃÃo da produÃÃo per capita de lixo domiciliar e tambÃm da projeÃÃo da produÃÃo per capita de lixo reciclÃvel. Observou-se, ainda, que o percentual de materiais reciclÃveis à significativo e que deveriam ser coletados de forma separada, mediante a coleta seletiva, para preservar suas caracterÃsticas, objetivando a reciclagem. O indicador de produÃÃo de lixo per capita tambÃm poderia ser utilizado como medidor de aferiÃÃo da produÃÃo dos resÃduos domiciliares coletados a serem pagos pelo MunicÃpio. Na conclusÃo, foram expressas as perspectivas do reaproveitamento do lixo, a relevÃncia do trabalho para tomada de decisÃes estratÃgicas no gerenciamento dos resÃduos sÃlidos, mediante informaÃÃes produzidas como forma de subsÃdios para a elaboraÃÃo da polÃtica de resÃduos sÃlidos de Fortaleza, com o objetivo de promover o reaproveitamento desse lixo, sob a Ãptica do desenvolvimento sustentÃvel participativo e da Agenda 21, seguido de recomendaÃÃes e sugestÃes. / This work was performed for physical characterization of domestic solid waste (garbage) in the city of Fortaleza, in order to know the composition of solid waste, and their percentage rate of generation per capita. As a first step, there was a literature review on the subject on the thought of authors familiar with the matter. Then enforce it is to visit public and there has been a technical interviews Municipal Cleaning Company and Urbanization (EMLURB) to obtain information on the cleaning system and its urban management. Then, it is the recognition of  with field visits to all districts, considering a. administrative division of the city covering the twenty-five areas generating waste (ZGL), part of the six regional executive secretaries (BE), the complex of Jangurussu (sorting and transfer of waste) to landfill, the estuaries of rivers and Cearà Coco, the shore, and monitoring. flow of waste (generation, collection, transportation and final destination). Finally, the survey took place in the field, where they collected 792 samples of garbage produced in single permanent homes in all neighborhoods in Fortaleza in the period April to December of 2004. The results of the characterization of waste, its components were identified and their percentage in the twenty-five ZGLs. Working these data it was possible to determine its distribution in the six average SERS to identify areas with greater production of recyclable materials, the per capita production of garbage, and projection of per capita production of garbage and also the projection of per capita production of waste recyclable. There was also that the percentage of recyclable materials is significant and should be collected in isolation by selective collection, to preserve its characteristics, to recycling. The indicator of per capita production of garbage could also be used as a gauge for measuring the production of household waste collected to be paid by the municipality. In conclusion, we express the perspectives of the reuse of waste, the relevance of the work for making strategic decisions in the management of solid waste, upon information produced as a subsidy for the drafting of the policy of solid waste from Fortaleza, with the objective of promoting the reuse of waste, in terms of participatory sustainable development and Agenda 21, followed by recommendations and suggestions.

Administradores de saúde estão preocupados com a persistente elevação dos gastos com saúde. Um problema econômico, social e médico. Objetivando estudar as características das pessoas que produzem gastos elevados com saúde, tomou-se a população de um plano de saúde, identificou-se 1% dos casos que mais gastaram com assistência médico-hospitalar e analisou-se a distribuição por idade, sexo, natureza dos gastos, diagnósticos e o impacto no custo do plano. Os resultados revelaram que a idade é importante fator associado ao gasto elevado, que materiais e medicamentos constituíram a maior fração do gasto e os diagnósticos associados mais freqüentes foram doenças do aparelho circulatório e neoplasias malignas. A fração selecionada de 1% foi responsável por 36,2% da despesa e gastaram em média 56,3 vezes mais que os demais / Healthcare managers are concerned with the persistent increasing of healthcare expenditure. An economics, social and medical problem. The objective of this study was to know the characteristics of the population that could predict high medical expenditure. It was selectec the 1% of customers (assisted by an healthcare plan) that generated the highest expenditures. The distribution by age, sex, kind of expenditure, diagnoses and the impact in insurance cost were analyzed. The results showed that the age is important associated factor, medical supplies and drugs were mainly responsible for expenditure. The main diagnose associated with high expenditure were circulatory diseases and cancer was the second. The 1% selected customers generated 36.2% of the total expenditure of their healthcare plan, and spent 56.3 times more than others customers, on average

Estudar a obra novelística de Luigi Pirandello é um modo de entender não apenas as razões que o levaram a ser um dos mais importantes escritores italianos do século XX, mas também o papel de cada um de nós no mundo e na vida. As novelas, baseadas em pequenos acontecimentos cotidianos, formam um grande mosaico da existência humana: uma nota no jornal, um amor acabado ou ainda nem começado, um simples gesto ou o apito de um trem, são situações que despertam a imaginação do autor e nas quais muitas vezes nos reconhecemos. Dramaturgo e romancista de sucesso, Pirandello nunca deixou de escrever novelas: foram 251 ao longo de sua carreira. Para ele, a novela era o espaço íntimo, insubstituível, reservado para a discussão existencial empreendida pelos seus personagens em uma época tão inquieta como o início do século XX. As novelas, reunidas no projeto Novelle per un anno, são de vital importância para se compreender a evolução das preocupações do autor e representam a base de seu pensamento. As últimas novelas, principalmente, trazem novas chaves de interpretação ao conjunto da obra e mostram um escritor novo e muito mais inquietante, que muitas vezes a crítica não soube reconhecer. Traçar a trajetória do Pirandello novelista, ou novellaro, como ele se definia, relacionando-a com os outros aspectos de sua carreira literária, de seu pensamento e da época que ele tão bem retratou, é o objetivo deste trabalho. / To study Pirandellos short story is a means not only of understanding the reason why he became one of the most important Italian writers of the twentieth century but also the role we play in the world and life. His short stories, based on ordinary events, make the great mosaic of our lives a piece of news, a love that has broken up or not even started, a gesture, a train whistle; situations that drive his thoughts, where many times we recognize ourselves. Successful play writer and novelist, Pirandello never stopped writing short stories: 251 along all his work life. According to Pirandello, a short story was the intimate, unique place, intended for the existential debates of his characters in the hard times of the beginning of the twentieth century. The short stories, brought together in the project Novelle per un anno, are of great importance to understand the evolution of the authors worries and represent the basis of his thought. The last short stories mainly bring new tools for interpretation to Pirandellos work and show a new, much more disturbing writer, many times not acknowledged by critics. To follow the course of the short-story writer Pirandello or novellaro, as he used to call himself connected with other aspects of his literary life, thought, and the time he described so well, is the focus of this work.

Globally, injury is a major public health problem. The extent of the problem varies considerably by demographic subgroups, regions and national income. The overall objective of this thesis is to examine the relationship between injury mortality and economic development, and to discuss its role in the changing patterns of mortality as described in health transition theory. By cross-sectional analysis between cause-specific injury-related mortality and income per capita, studies included in this thesis indicated that while unintentional injury mortality (UIM) and homicide rates correlated negatively with GNP per capita for total populations with varying patterns for age-specific mortality, suicide rates increased slightly by nations’ income per capita, especially among women. In age- and cause-specific injury mortality differentials between low-income, middle-income and high-income countries, ageing and injury interplay mutually with regard to health transition; declining rates in child UIM by income level contributes to the ageing process, while increasing UIM among the elderly, in combination with ageing populations boosts the absolute number of injury deaths in this segment. Between the income-based country groups, both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses show that injury mortality for all three major causes (i.e. unintentional injury, suicide and homicide) first increase and then decrease with rising income per capita, following an inverted U-shaped curve. These results illustrate that injury is not a homogeneous public health phenomenon from a health transition perspective. While child unintentional mortality clearly agrees with ‘diseases of poverty’, unintentional injury in the elderly agrees with ‘diseases of affluence’. Patterns for homicide and suicide are more complex and uncertain. Generally, the strength and direction of injury mortality by economic development vary considerably by age, sex and type of injury. Further research on causations, mechanisms, broader indicators and data quality, as well as theoretical developments on health transition taking new findings and parallel frameworks into account, is needed to fully understand the complex relationship between economic development and injury mortality.

Arbetet beskriver en analys av innehållet av membranbundna och periplasmiska c-cytokromer hos perkloratodlade GR-1 och jämförelser med c-cytokrominnehållet hos Ideonella dechloratans och andra kända c-cytokromer, samt med genomet för Dechloromonas aromatica. Den jämförande studien av c-cytokromer gjordes med syftet att undersöka en hypotes om att bakterierna använder olika vägar för elektronöverföring till det periplasmiska enzymet (per)kloratreduktas. Cellmembran från GR-1 renframställdes genom ultracentrifugering och periplasma preparerades fram med hjälp av osmotisk chock. Fraktionerna analyserades sedan med SDS-PAGE och peptider med kovalent bundet hem (c-cytokromer) detekterades med hjälp av en specifik färgreaktion. Även Touchdown PCR med degenererade primrar genomfördes på isolerat DNA från GR-1 i ett försök att finna en gen kodande för ett NapC/NirT-liknande protein. Slutligen kolmonoxidbubblades reducerade membran för att undersöka förekomsten av cbb3-typ oxidas. Separation och infärgning av periplasmiska och membranbundna proteiner från GR-1 resulterade i sju respektive åtta peptidband med molekylvikter mellan 8-60 kDa. Inget som framkommit under arbetet talar emot hypotesen om att GR-1 och D. aromatica skulle använda ett NapC/NirT-liknande protein som elektronöverförare till det periplasmiska (per)kloratreduktaset. PCR-analysen resulterade i en produkt som troligtvis är en sekvens från en gen som kodar för ett NapC/NirT-liknande protein och två, eventuellt tre, kandidater för ett NapC/NirT-liknande protein hittades i membranet hos GR-1. Dessutom framkom att GR-1 troligtvis använder cbb3-typ oxidas som terminalt oxidas vid reduktion av syrgas under mikroaerofila förhållanden. Vad gäller I. dechloratans och hypotesen om att denna bakterie använder ett lösligt cytokrom c för elektronöverföring till sitt kloratreduktas så har inget framkommit under arbetet som talar emot detta. Tre kandidater för lösliga cytokrom c-proteiner hittades. För teorin talar även att de försök som tidigare gjorts med att påvisa genen för ett NapC/NirT-liknande protein hos denna bakterie gett negativt resultat. / This work describes an analysis of membrane-anchored and periplasmic c-type cytochromes of perchlorate grown GR-1, and a comparison with the c-type cytochrome content of Ideonella dechloratans, other known c-type cytochromes and the genome of Dechloromonas aromatica. The aim of the comparison was to investigate a hypothesis that the bacteria use different routes for electron transfer to the periplasmic enzyme (per)chlorate reductase. Cell membrane from GR-1 was prepared through ultracentrifugation and periplasm was prepared through osmotic chock. The fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE and peptides containing covalently bound heme (c-type cytochromes) were detected by a specific staining reaction. In an attempt to probe a gene coding for a NapC/NirT-like protein Touchdown PCR was performed on isolated DNA from GR-1, using degenerate primers. Finally, reduced membranes were treated with carbon monoxide to investigate the presence of cbb3-type oxidase. Separation and detection resulted in seven periplasmic peptides and eight membrane anchored peptides, all with molecular weights in a range of 8-60 kDa. Nothing has been revealed during this work that opposes the hypothesis of GR-1 and D. aromatica using a NapC/NirT-like protein as an electron carrier to their periplasmic (per)chlorate reductase. The PCR resulted in a product that most likely is a sequence from a gene coding for a NapC/NirT-like protein and two, maybe three, candidates for a NapC/NirT-like protein were also found in the membrane of GR-1. Analysis also revealed that GR-1 most likely makes use of a cbb3-type oxidase for reduction of oxygen during microaerofilic conditions. Concerning I. dechloratans, nothing has been revealed during this work that opposes the hypothesis of this bacterium using a soluble cytochrome c as an electron carrier to its chlorate reductase. Three candidates for a soluble cytochrome c protein were found. The theory is also supported by the negative result from earlier attempts to probe a gene coding for a NapC/NirT-like protein in this bacterium.

Lo scrittore ed illustratore Antonio Rubino (1880-1964) fu artista di rilievo nel panorama letterario infantile del Novecento, prolifico nell’ideare opere connotate da forte ironia e da soluzioni espressive multimediali. La ricerca dà risalto a quanto pubblicato dall’artista sanremasco sulle pagine dei periodici per ragazzi nella prima metà del XX secolo, settore ad oggi privo di uno studio sistematico. Si tratta di un punto di vista favorevole a far emergere i contenuti trasmessi dall’autore al destinatario infantile, nonché a fare luce sul controverso rapporto con il fascismo e a tratteggiare l’evoluzione multimediale della sua produzione per l’infanzia. La definizione di una poetica rubiniana, che colga le matrici artistiche e le peculiarità ironiche della sua arte, conduce ad una riflessione educativa che interroghi la responsabilità assunta da Rubino nei confronti dell’infanzia lettrice. / The writer and illustrator Antonio Rubino (1880-1964) was a significant artist in the children’s literary panorama of the twentieth century. His works are connoted by strong irony and multimedia expressive solutions. This research is focused on Rubino’s works edited on children’s periodicals in the first half of the 20th century, a field that hasn’t been systematically studied yet by critics. This ideal point of view highlights the contents transmitted by the author to the young reader, underlines the relationship between the artist and the fascism and delineates the multimedia evolution of his children’s production. The analysis of the Rubino’s artistic thought, influenced by the contemporary trends, shows the peculiarities of his ironic style. It also guides to an educative consideration that examines the responsibilities of the author for young readers.

Aquesta tesi tracta de la creació d'un nou programari de codi obert i d'una interfície de programació (API) per realitzar simulacions (bio) moleculars, així com de a la seva aplicació posterior a problemes biològics. El nou programa, Adun, es focalitza en les àrees clau del càlcul d'energies lliures, el desenvolupament ràpid de programari i la productivitat d'alt rendiment. Mètodes com SCAAS, EVB i Born generalitzat han estat implementats per tal d'assolir el primer objectiu. La presencia d'aquestes tècniques, a m´es d'altres, mostra la velocitat de desenvolupament d'Adun. Totes les característiques s´on accessibles mitjanant una interfície gràfica d'usuari avançada que proveeix de noves capacitats, com el tractament de dades integrat o la compartició de dades i de càlculs distribuïts. La capacitat d'Adun de tractar problemes biològics és il·lustrada amb la investigació de la dinàmica de la proteïna Ras i el desenvolupament, implementació i demostració d'un nou mètode per a la determinació de camins de transició. A més, per tal de demostrar el potencial del programa Adun, aquests estudis també proporcionen una visió avançada sobre l'ús de la informació dinàmica en determinar la unció de les proteïnes. L'estat actual del programa i els resultats dels dos estudis és, doncs, discutit, i es donen indicacions dels objectius i direccions futurs. Finalment s'examina el paper dels científics computacionals com desenvolupadors d'eines, per a ells mateixos o per a tota la comunitat científica. / This thesis deals with the creation of a new open-source program and API for biomolecular simulation and its subsequent application to biological problems. The program, Adun, focuses on the key areas of biological free-energy calculations, rapid development and highperformance productivity. Methods such as SCAAS, EVB and switched Generalised-Born have been implemented to realise the first aim. The presence of these techniques, along with a multitude of others, verifies Adun's rapid development potential. All these features are united by an advanced graphical user interface which provides novel capabilities such as inbuilt data management, and distributed datasharing and computation. Adun's ability to tackle biological problems is illustrated with an investigation of Ras dynamics and the development, implementation and testing of a novel method for determining transition paths. In addition to concretely demonstrating Adun's potential these studies also provide insight into the use of dynamic information in elucidating protein function. The current state of the program and the results of the two studies is discussed and indications of future aims and directions given. In addition the role of computational scientists as developers of tools, for themselves and the wider scientific community, is examined.

Uppsatsen utforskar några omständigheter kring vilka de omfattande förändringarna i Stockholms centrala delar vid mitten av 1900-talet dokumenterats, i första hand genom fotografiska bilder. I de "minnesböcker" där dessa bilder står i förgrunden får "Klarakvarteren" i en viss mening stå som symbol för det moderna Stockholm i och med anläggandet av den nya centralstationen på 1870-talet, samt genom att utgöra den självklara platsen för otaliga tidningsredaktioner, hotell och kaféer. Som sinnebilden för det moderna stadslivet i Stockholm är "Klarakvarteren" förbundna med en annan viktig aspekt av moderniteten: den fotografiska bilden. "Klarakvarteren" finns idag, i spåren efter den omfattande omdaningen av stadskärnan, i allt väsentligt enbart kvar som minnesbilder i form av text och fotografier. Genom att undersöka en i sammanhanget central fotografisk bok, med en längre essä av Per Wästberg tillika fotografier av Lennart af Petersens, som i många år arbetat som fotograf för Stockholms stad, hoppas föreliggande uppsats kunna väcka frågor kring hur minnen, fotografier och tillvaron i den moderna staden kan sägas gå samman i dessa "minnesböcker" som publicerats under, liksom efter, dessa storskaliga arkitektoniska förändringar. / This essay explores some of the circumstances under which the extensive changes in central Stockholm in the mid 20th century were documented, primarily by means of photographic pictures. In a certain sense, "Klarakvarteren" stands as a symbol of  modernity, and in certain books featuring these documentary photographs "Klarakvarteren" has, as such, been epitomized as the centre of modern Stockholm following the construction of the new Central station in the 1870s, in addition to being the obvious location of numerous editorial offices and many hotels and cafés. As a symbol of modern city life in Stockholm, "Klarakvarteren" also relates to another key feature of modernity: the photographic image. Following the total reconstruction of the city centre, "Klarakvarteren" in this day essentially consists of memory images in the form of texts or photographs. In examining a central photographic book featuring an extensive essay by author Per Wästberg as well as pictures by Lennart af Petersens, long in service as photographer with the City of Stockholm, this essay hopes to uncover how certain questions of memory, photographic images and modern urban life are intertwined in respect to these "memory books" published during, as well as after, these large-scale architectural changes.

El texto reconstruye una iniciativa de desarrollo de Cultura de Paz en Caquetá, Amazonía colombiana, con epicentro en Florencia, su capital. El trabajo comprende una etapa inicial de sensibilización a través de la experiencia, producida por la inmersión en el mundo de la vida. Luego se pasa a la observación de la forma en la que se tratan los conflictos en diferentes escenarios de socialización: la familia, la escuela, la comunidad y la sociedad. La mirada se posa más en la escuela. Después viene otra etapa de reflexión y acciones formativas y transformativas que buscan primero formar constructores de paz y posteriormente, reflexionar y accionar, operando transformaciones positivas por dichas personas en los entornos de su acción vital.El avance en el conocimiento de la realidad trabajada, se producía simultáneamente con las modificaciones de la misma, a través de las actividades, internas y externas, realizadas, como se plantea en la investigación acción-participativa. En el desarrollo del trabajo, el objeto fue configurándose como los conflictos y su tratamiento: observados, descritos, entendidos y orientados para su transformación creativa y no-violenta. El compromiso académico, prioritario en un primer momento, fue cediendo ante el compromiso social de aportar a la construcción de una Cultura de Paz. Por esta razón, las relaciones entre investigador y objeto de estudio se hicieron más dinámicas y de influencia transformadora recíproca.Poco a poco, la teoría y la práctica sobre la forma de tratamiento de las contradicciones, entre las gentes de la región se han ido aclimatando en el discurso y en la acción, de manera que se pase de la confrontación directa a la argumentación mediada por la palabra y el respeto por las personas. De este modo se transforman positivamente los conflictos, creando consensos necesarios que ayuden a reconstruir tejidos rotos, ocasionados por la fragmentación social en este contexto y que sirvan de referencia para otros.El trabajo de investigación está dividido en cinco capítulos, conclusiones y una propuesta educativa:El primer capítulo, marco histórico y social, violencia, conflicto y paz, se aproxima a la historia de la violencia y el aporte de la educación a la paz. Contextualiza el fenómeno objeto de estudio, al presentarlo desde los distintos intereses que lo fomentan y mantienen a través de visiones hegemónicas e ideológicas que condicionan el posicionamiento de los países.El segundo capítulo, marco conceptual y relacional con la realidad actual, corresponde al marco teórico que define los fundamentos conceptuales de la violencia, el conflicto y su gestión, la cultura y educación para la paz y la fragmentación social. El tercer capítulo, proyecto de investigación, incorpora el diseño del estudio. Se plantea el problema, la justificación, los objetivos, la metodología usada y el conjunto de actividades realizadas en el estudio.El cuarto capítulo, trabajo de investigación en el campo socioeducativo, incorpora el diseño de los proyectos de cooperación internacional desarrollados y su aporte educativo para favorecer una Cultura de Paz. El quinto capítulo, trabajo de investigación en el ámbito escolar, se refiere al informe de investigación en terreno. Profundiza en el conocimiento de los mecanismos formativos y de control que se adoptan en los centros educativos, para hacer frente al fenómeno del conflicto y la forma de tratarlos cuando emergen. Se incluye una propuesta de gestión conflictos en un ámbito escolar.Las conclusiones recogen de forma global los hallazgos de la investigación y se propone la necesidad de emprender acciones y procesos socioeducativos para la Construcción de Paz que conozca y reconozca las claves culturales del entorno.Finalmente se presenta una propuesta socioeducativa de educación para la paz que contribuya a favorecer una Cultura de Paz. / This work reconstructs an initiative to develop a Culture of Peace in Caquetá, the Colombian Amazon, with its epicenter in Florencia, the capital.The text comprises an initial of awareness creating stage by means of the experience produced by being immersed in the real world. After this, we move on to the observation of the ways in which conflicts are handled in different scenarios of socialization: family, school, community and society. The focus, to be more precise, is on school education. This is followed by another stage of reflection, formative and transformative action, which aims to firstly educate peace builders and then reflect and act the consecutive reflection, these people then manage positive transformations in their own everyday environments.The advance in the understanding of the reality under study has been achieved simultaneously with the modifications to same, by means of the activities, internal and external, conducted as outlined in the participatory action research. In the development of the work, the object configured itself on conflicts and their management: observed, described, understood and orientated towards their creative and non-violent transformation.Academic commitment, the priority in the beginning, has given way to the social commitment to contribute to the creation of a Culture of Peace. For this reason, the relationship between the researcher and the object under study became more dynamic and of a reciprocal transformative influence.Gradually, practice and theory on how to treat the contradictions among the people of the region have become acclimatized to the discourse and action, in such a way to produce a shift from direct confrontation to the argumentation mediated by dialogue and respect for others. In this context, the described approach allows for the positive transformation of conflict, creating the consensuses necessary to help rebuild the social fabric damaged by social fragmentation, which could also serve as future reference for others.
