The research was part of the project Analysis of the consequences of partnerships between city department and the Ayrton Senna Foundation. The Management Note 10 was defined by the Institute as a program to management routines in schools and offices to improve the quality of education, was conceived in 2005, his methodology works with bookmarks, notes management, professional training and in-service real-time information. The research was based on analysis of documents provided by the IAS (website, magazines and manuals), in which we identified a relationship between management program proposed by footnote 10 of IAS as the focus on the student, the leadership role played by the director, goal setting, collective work, family participation, the role of standardization and evaluation of the results of the pedagogical processes and guidelines disseminated by Total Quality Management - TQM and the Effective Schools Movement that were imported since the 90s to Brazilian schools

Twentieth-century American literature incorporates interracial and biracial themes that bring to light the often unnamed and unrecognized biracial identities of many Americans. Unfortunately, despite the potential value for a deeper understanding of the construction of race, these themes have seldom been seriously considered in the context of reevaluating the nature of the system that creates racial labels and categories until the recent emergence of postmodern critical theories. This thesis examines the black-white interracial themes and biracial protagonists in Nella Larsen's Quicksand (1928) and Danzy Senna's Caucasia (1998) in order to explore the texts' representations of systems of hegemonic power that create racial labels and categories. I discuss the binary sociopolitical construction of race in the United States (blackwhite) and the complexity of biracial identities as a foundation for my examination of literary representations of biracial subjectivity, racial passing, primitive exoticism, and the intersections between race, class and gender. I conclude that a study of the interracial theme in literature is a dive into the chasm between margin and center, the enunciative split between the binary racial signifiers black and white. Therefore, representations of biracial subjectivity provide a unique vantage point for surveillance of the complexities of the human struggle to gain and maintain power.

Résumé This thesis is focused on the Czech environment neglected history of sport, specific sporty branch - races F1. Thesis is concentrated on the years 1970-1994 because there are two important milestones in the history of F1 racing - the title of world champion in memoriam of Jochen Rindt 1970 and death of Ayrton Senna at Grand Prix San Marino at Imola 1994. Thesis will be looking the answer to the questions why this sport gained in researching period rising popularity, what was F1 social and economic relevance, how did formula 1 help to the further technological development of automotive, why it began to professionalize, what reasons and in which countries began F1 expand. Individual world champions will not miss out, especially Niki Lauda, James Hunt, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna and other important personalities at whose fates will be the history of F1 in researching period also watch.

Orientador: Robinson Antonio Pitelli / Banca: Ricardo Victória Filho / Banca: Silvano Bianco / Resumo: A adoção da tecnologia Roundup-Ready® de controle de plantas daninhas na cultura da soja foi bastante rápida e extensa expondo-a a uma grande diversidade de situações de composição especifica de comunidades infestantes, características edáficas e climáticas e de práticas agrícolas. Em alguns anos, passaram a serem identificadas plantas daninhas com maiores dificuldades de controle pelo glyphosate e que passaram a ser selecionadas e suas importâncias aumentadas nos agroecossistemas. Com o objetivo de estudar o controle de plantas daninhas em soja geneticamente modificada para tolerância ao glyphosate dois ensaios foram conduzidos um a campo e outro em condições de casa de vegetação. O ensaio de campo foi conduzido no Pontal do Paranapanema e foram avaliados os controles de plantas daninhas e seletividade à cultura da soja do glyphosate aplicado isolado e em combinação com diclosulam, cloransulam-methyl, flumioxazin e s-metolachlor. Foram dois grupos de tratamentos: um com aplicação única e outro com aplicação seqüencial de glyphosate. No campo, o experimento obedeceu ao delineamento em blocos ao acaso. Os resultados mostraram que aplicações seqüenciais proporcionaram melhor controle de Commelina benghalensis, mas não incrementaram o de Ipomoea triloba. Os melhores níveis de produtividade foram obtidos nas parcelas tratadas com a combinação de flumioxazin ou s-metolachlor com glyphosate, com ou sem aplicação seqüencial. Um segundo grupo de ensaios foi conduzido em vasos com o objetivo de avaliar a atividade biológica de diferentes doses e formulações do glyphosate em Macroptilium lathyroides, Euphorbia heterophylla e Senna obtusifolia em estádio de desenvolvimento em que regularmente há dificuldade de controle nas condições de campo. Todos os ensaios obedeceram ao delineamento...

With the geographic expansion, the Roundup-Ready® soybeans met a big diversity of situations of weed composition, spil and climate features, and agronomic practices. After some years, certain weeds were identified as more tolerant to glyphosate and were selected in Roundup-Ready® soybean growing areas. So, two assays were carried out aiming to evaluate the weed control in Roundup-Ready® soybean. The first experiment was conducted under field conditions and the use of glyphosate alone or mixed with diclosulam, cloransulammethyl, flumioxazin, and s-metolachlor were evaluated under two situations: single spraying or followed of a complementary spraying of glyphosate, 14 days after the first one. The complementary application of glyphosate increased the Commelina benghalensis control, but did not change Ipomoea triloba control. The better productivity levels were achieved using the treatments with flumioxazin or s-metolachlor + glyphosate, with or without the complementary applicatrin. The second group of assays was carried under pot conditions out aiming to evaluate the biological activity of different doses and formulations of glyphosate in the control of Macroptilium lathyroides, Euphorbia heterophylla and Senna obtusifolia at growth stage in which some control difficulties were reported, under field conditions. A greenhouse essay was carried out under for each weed in the completely randomized experimental design with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a 3 x 4 factorial design considering three commercial formulations (Roundup Original®, Roundup-Ready® e Roundup Ultra®) and four doses (2,32; 1,68; 1,15 e 0,57 kg.ha-1) of glyphosate. Additionally, a control plot without chemical control was considered. The results showed that the three weeds had differential... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and 80% ethanol extracts of 15 plant species collected in Nigeria were screened for in vitro antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antimalarial activities. Antibacterial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method, while the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the active extracts were determined using the microtitre serial dilution method. Most antibacterial activity detected was against Gram-positive bacteria with Staphylococcus aureus being the most susceptible. The highest activity was found in petroleum ether and dichloromethane leaf extracts of Mallotus oppositifolius; petroleum ether, dichloromethane and ethanolic root extracts of Newbouldia laevis; and ethanolic root extracts of Morinda lucida and Canthium subcordatum. Against the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, the highest activity was found in dichloromethane leaf extracts of Newbouldia laevis, ethanolic root extracts of Phyllanthus amarus, Mallotus oppositifolius, and Canthium subcordatum. A total of 60 plant extracts were screened for antiplasmodial activity. A chloroquine sensitive strain of Plasmodium falciparum (D10) was used. In the assay, the parasite lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) activity was used to measure parasite viability. About 11 extracts showed promising activity with an IC₅₀ ranging from 2.5 to 13.4 µg/ml. The petroleum ether leaf extract of Hyptis suaveolens had the highest activity (IC₅₀ = 2.5 µg/ml). The cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) assays were used to test for anti-inflammatory activity. All the plant species, with the exception of Hedranthera barteri and Picralima nitida showed anti-inflammatory activity. Apart for a few ethanolic extracts, all the activities were recorded with petroleum ether and dichloromethane extracts. Employing bioassay-guided activity fractionation, an antibacterial anthraquinone identified as emodin was isolated from ethanolic root extract of Senna occidentalis. Although this compound had been isolated from other sources, this was the first report of isolation from Senna occidentalis. Using a similar approach a novel antimalarial diterpenoid was isolated from the petroleum ether leaves extract of Hyptis suaveolens. It had IC₅₀ of 0.1 µg/ml. This new compound is worthy of further investigation and may act as an important lead compound for future antimalarial drugs. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2005.

The study was conducted through analysis of category of management, partnership and social justice that support the discourse presented by the Institute in its disclosure documents and course material, focused on managers of public networks in the municipalities which are partners of the program .We also analysed some action strategies proposed in partnership with two local systems of education - the cities of São Roque Guariba - in the state of São Paulo. The findings show that the program presents management concepts, partnership and social justice, removed from the productive sphere. The results management is considered by the Office as the most appropriate form of management for the school to be more efficient and effective and should be adopted by all public education. On the other hand partnership policy seems to work as a supply of services of the Institute, which would help in solving the problems faced by municipalities. In relation to the issue of social justice, they believe that equality of opportunity is the possibility of being able to enter in the labor market. Furthermore, there is a use of range of terms that, despite they are similar, they take on different meanings. We also note that the implementation of results management is encouraged not only in educational administration, but on the whole educational process by encouraging students to be managers of their learning process. / Este trabalho tem como propósito identificar e analisar as bases teórico-metodológicas que fundamentam o Programa Gestão Nota 10, do Instituto Ayrton Senna que visa implementar uma metodologia de gerenciamento em escolas da rede pública de ensino. O estudo foi realizado por meio da analise das categorias gestão, parceria e justiça social que sustentam o discurso apresentado pelo Instituto em seus documentos de divulgação e no material do curso, voltado para os gestores das redes públicas dos municípios que estabelecem parceria com o programa. Analisamos também algumas estratégias de ação propostas na parceira com dois sistemas municipais de ensino, das cidades de Guariba e São Roque, no estado de São Paulo. Verificamos que o programa apresenta conceitos de gestão, parceria e justiça social, retirados da esfera produtiva. A gestão de resultados é considerada pelo Instituto como a forma de gestão mais adequada para a escola por ser mais eficiente e eficaz, devendo ser adotada por toda a rede pública de educação. Já a política de parcerias parece funcionar como uma prestação de serviços do Instituto, que auxiliaria na resolução dos problemas enfrentados pelos municípios. A questão da justiça social considera a igualdade de oportunidades como a possibilidade de inserção no mercado de trabalho. Além disso, há utilização de uma série de termos que, apesar de idênticos, assumem significados diferentes. Verificamos também que a implementação do gerenciamento de resultados é incentivada não apenas na gestão educacional, mas sim em todo o processo educacional, estimulando o aluno a ser gerente de seu processo de aprendizagem.

Every life tells a story. Film has proven to be a worthwhile medium in which individual lives can be told and thereby will be remembered. In recent years biographical documentaries telling significant life-stories, such as Amy (Asif Kapadia 2015), Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck (Brett Morgen, 2015) and Senna (Asif Kapadia, 2010) have taken over our screens. While their narrative style often alludes to common compositions of the fictional biopic, their foundation on indexical sound and imagery makes them differ radically. In this thesis theoretical implications on how to approach and understand biographical documentary within the lager scope of biographical filmmaking are discussed. Subsequently the term biodoc is suggested. It implies a close relation to the biopic without compromising documentary film's autonomy compared to fiction film. Furthermore, this thesis sets out to move toward a theory of the biodoc. By putting together a catalog of key aspects and elements common for the biodoc and discussing them in close relation to contemporary examples of the genre, this thesis provides a first theorization of a diverse and growing phenomenon in contemporary film culture.

Extrafloral nectar (EFN) mediates food-for-protection mutualisms between plants and defensive insects. Senna mexicana var. chapmanii is a perennial legume native to the pine rockland habitats of south Florida. My dissertation focuses on how anthropogenic changes to the pine rocklands might affect EFN production by S. chapmanii, and the outcome of EFN mediated interactions. First, I investigated the influence of time of day, leaf damage, and leaf age on EFN production in S. chapmanii. Plants produced more nectar at night than during the day, and leaf damage resulted in increased EFN production. Furthermore, the response to leaf damage was greater when plants were damaged in the morning than when plants were damaged at night. Damage to young leaves elicited a stronger defensive response than damage to older leaves, in line with optimal defense theory. Second, I conducted a field experiment to determine the effects of ant activity, and light intensity, on herbivory rates, growth, and reproductive fitness in S. chapmanii. In shaded habitats, the presence of ants had no effect on herbivory rates, seed set, or plant size. In sunny habitats, however, plants with ants suffered less herbivore damage, produced more seeds, and grew larger over the duration of the one year study. Third, through a controlled greenhouse experiment I examined the effects of light intensity, and red/far-red light ratios, on EFN production in S. chapmanii. Plants in light-limited conditions produced less EFN, and leaf damage elicited increased EFN production regardless of light conditions. Ratios of red/far-red light, however, did not affect EFN production in either damaged or undamaged plants. Finally, I conducted a field study to determine how ants affect reproductive fitness in S. chapmanii. Over a period of eight months I observed the effects of ants on the activity of herbivores, predators, pollinators, and pre-dispersal seed predators. Relative pollinator efficiency, and rates of pre-dispersal seed predation, were unaffected by ants. Plants with ants, however, were quicker to establish, grew larger, and produced floral displays that attracted more pollinators. In S. chapmanii ants affected plant reproductive fitness simply by facilitating growth and establishment, with coincidental effects on reproductive investment.

Com isso a busca por novas ferramentas analíticas mais robustas, com abordagem metabolômica se faz necessária, de forma a otimizar e acelerar a busca por novas moléculas e substâncias com atividade biológica promissora. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho tem como alvo de estudo, os fungos Fusarium solani e Purpureocillium lilacinum isolados da rizosfera de Senna spectabilis. Essas espécies de microrganismos apresentam muitos estudos químicos relatados na literatura, o que influenciou o interesse em realizar os estudos de OSMAC (One Strain Many Compounds). Para, assim, verificar a variação metabólica que acontece com esses fungos em diferentes tipos de cultivo (variando meio de cultura e agitação) incluindo o co-cultivo. Para os extratos obtidos também foram realizados os ensaios biológicos citotóxico e antibacteriano.

Wherefore this research will seek to answer the following questions: 1) How does Senna Fernandes artistically articulate, in his inward Romanesque universe, the social diversity of discourses recovering memories of Macao? 2) From the orchestration of voices, what dialogical relations are established in Senna Fernandes’s novel to comprehend the Macanese identity represented by work? Starting from the premise that the novel, according to Bakhtin’s conception, is characterized by the internal stratification of language and taking focus the concept of multilingualism, we will seek confirmation or refutation of the following hypothesis: if the novel discourse is multilingual, that is, it is built up through diversity of voices and discourses, Senna Fernandes’s novel is representative of Macao cultural memory and identity, as far as it recovers different voices which appear in novels, which describe characters and spot them in different social spheres. The selected corpus is the conjunction of two novels of Senna Fernandes having the opuses been disposed chronologically by the following way: Amor e dedinhos de pé (1985) and the A trança feiticeira (1994). This research inserted in the theoretical framework of Dialogical Analysis of Discourse (DAD) will be divided into: 1) Elaboration of a social historical cultural context overview of Macao, which will start from the beginning of Portuguese occupation / administration in Macao until the end of the transition period, which would assure the return of Macao sovereignty to the government of China. Along this historical context overview of Macao, we will try to understand the historical political development of Macanese identity, more specifically throughout the twentieth century (time registered in novel and time of the author). 2) At the second part, we will explore the literary universe of Macao based on the idea of “Writing Macao”. 3) Development of theoretical basis which will be focused on Bakhtin’s approach about the discourse in novel; 4) Analysis of the selected corpus. In order to carry out the chosen literary works, this will be achieved as follows: (a) Delimitation of the context represented by work, clarifying how it contributed to the development of narrative and its characters; (b) Reading of works and selecting of statements, containing narrator’s voices and / or their characters’ as well as the manner of these voices, which refer to the issues of identity and memory of Macao; (c) Analysis of the discourses expressed by voices, showing how we can reflect, through them, on the issues of identity realized in work, analyzing, “dialogical lens”, how these voices legitimize their different values and perspectives and how they dialog among themselves / O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar como o romance de Henrique de Senna Fernandes orquestra a diversidade social de linguagens representadas artisticamente, recuperando memórias para forjar uma identidade macaense. Esta pesquisa buscará, por conseguinte, responder as seguintes perguntas: 1) Como Senna Fernandes articula artisticamente, no interior de seu universo romanesco, a diversidade social de discursos, recuperando memórias de Macau? 2) A partir da orquestração de vozes, que relações dialógicas são estabelecidas no romance de Senna Fernandes para compreender a identidade macaense representada na obra? Partindo da premissa de que o romance, na concepção bakhtiniana, se caracteriza pela estratificação interna da linguagem e tomando como foco o conceito de plurilinguismo, sustentamos a seguinte hipótese: se o discurso do romance é plurilíngue, ou seja, constrói-se na diversidade de vozes e de discursos, o romance de Senna Fernandes é representativo da memória e da identidade cultural de Macau, à medida que recupera diferentes vozes que aparecem nos romances, que caracterizam as personagens e as localizam em diferentes esferas sociais. O corpus selecionado é o conjunto de dois romances de Senna Fernandes, estando as obras dispostas cronologicamente da seguinte forma: Amor e dedinhos de pé (1985) e a A trança feiticeira (1994). Esta pesquisa, inserida no quadro teórico da Análise Dialógica do Discurso (ADD), estará assim dividida: 1) Elaboração de um panorama do contexto sócio-histórico-cultural de Macau, que partirá do início da ocupação/administração portuguesa em Macau até o fim do período de transição, que garantiria o retorno da soberania de Macau ao governo da China. Ao lado desse panorama do contexto histórico de Macau, tentaremos entender a construção histórico-política da identidade macaense, mais especificamente ao longo do século XX (tempo inscrito no romance e tempo do autor). 2) Na segunda parte, iremos explorar o universo literário de Macau com base na ideia de “Escrever Macau”. 3) Desenvolvimento da fundamentação teórica, que estará centrada na abordagem bakhtiniana sobre o discurso no romance; 4) Análise do corpus selecionado. Para que se leve adiante a análise das obras literárias escolhidas, proceder-se-á da seguinte forma: (a) Delimitação do contexto representado na obra, explicitando de que forma ele contribui para o desenvolvimento da narrativa e de seus personagens; (b) Leitura das obras e seleção dos enunciados, contendo as vozes do narrador e/ou dos personagens, que remetam a questões de identidade e memória de Macau; (c) Análise dos discursos expressos pelas vozes, mostrando de que forma podemos refletir, por meio deles, sobre questões de identidade percebidas na obra, analisando, por meio de “lentes dialógicas”, de que forma essas vozes legitimam seus diferentes valores e pontos de vista e como elas dialogam entre si
