Williams syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by multiple gene microdeletion of region 11.23 of the long arm of chromosome 7 (region 7q11.23). Scientific evidences indicate that the evaluation of adaptive functioning (AF) is fundamental in WS to identify support levels and development of potentialities, considering the intellectual disability (ID) associated with the syndrome. The main objective of the study was to explore how the AF socialization indicator is related to verbal and performance cognitive functioning regardless of intellectual impairment, as well as emotional and behavioral problems (EBP). The study adopted a cross-sectional design with a sample composed by 78 individuals with WS between 6 and 41 years matched with 74 healthy people of control group (CG), and 78 caregiver’s WS group. The data collection instruments were the Behavior Inventory for Children and Adolescents between 6 and 18 years old (CBCL/6-18), the Behavior Inventory for Adults between 18 and 59 years old (ABCL), the Self-Assessment Inventory for between 18 and 59 years old (ASR) and the abbreviated Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WASI). Data analysis procedures were the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality testing, Mann-Whitney U test for comparison of means, Cohen test verified the effect size and Spearman correlation analysis to test the degree of association between the variables. The main results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between the group with WS and the CG in the socialization scale. In the WS group of 6 to 18 years old it was observed that the higher the socialization score, the better their performance in tasks that evaluate indicators of performance IQ. In the socialization scale there were no statistically significant differences between the group with WS and the CG, however it was found that adults show higher levels of socialization, according to the caregivers' report, when compared to children and adolescents, with statistically significant differences. As a recommendation for future studies, in addition to multiple informant methodologies for assessment purposes, caregivers need to receive training to discriminate stimulation needs of children with associated WS and ID, as well as interventions in natural environments that can be developed by them in social and family contexts

In this work, we inserted two Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs), in an Erbium doped fiber ring cavity laser, where a single gain medium at room temperature can emit laser in multiples wavelengths, simultaneous and individualy controlled. The setup allowed us to check different functions in the ring cavity. Here we show emission in CW regime, Passive Mode-Locking, using Carbon Nanotubes as saturable absorbers and finally Active mode-locking at 7GHz, simultaneously.

The present work, named Fashion Culture: Clothes and History, a sensitive way. A creative process, an aesthetic production?, investigates an educational practice and possible asymmetries and impermanences of the contemporary subject, the Fashion graduation student, by means of fashion history knowledge production and using a pedagogic activity named memory book , as a dispositive (Foucault), a poetic experience of thought (Heidegger) and also the artistic fruition. This research discusses Yohji Yamamoto s work as well as his identity as a fashion designer in relation to the visual arts. The phenomenological-existential method is also used, as well as historical narratives, intersubjective contact and observation. It reflects the individual creator/author and reader/discoverer towards modernity and contemporaneity. I also make use of micro-history as an analyses tool considering its analytical and detailed character by establishing a wider view over the cultural history. And, with the intent of interdisciplinarity, this research introduces unfinished creation and movements from the students and their singularities, histories, and dressing inheritances.

The present work aims to study the impact of the implementation of the Rio-Santos highway in São Sebastião - SP in terms of changes occurring in the occupation of the coastal districts, affecting and displacing local communities. As a research topic, we propose the study of the impacts of the urbanization triggered by the opening of the road Rio-Santos in the occupation of the coastal areas of São Paulo. To this end, we propose the approach chosen in three communities along the road, with different characteristics, which show larger or smaller impacts in terms of the displacement and the other consequences of it s farm estate, outlining a comparative analysis between the earlier, contemporary and later periods to road construction: the neighborhood of San Francisco and beaches of Toque-Toque Pequeno and Juquehy.

This development work focused on the research areas Language, Literature and Society: speech communication, religious discourse, pedagogical discourse, political discourse; has as its object of study the literary and cinematographic work Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth volume of the narrative initialized by the British author J. K. Rowling from the 1990s and adapted for the cinema from the 2000s. To the research, it was selected a piece from the literary work, this specifically in the fifth volume of the series, entitled Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where the young Harry Potter has fight against your main enemy inside your own body. This passage makes it possible to understand that the character goes through an identity crisis: Harry Potter received when baby some magical powers from his enemy when he tried to kill him, and he suddenly lives with a mixture of good feelings (love, friendship, courage) and bad feelings (anger, fear, insecurity) that oscillates fast, and he believes that Voldemort, somehow, exerts control over them. Harry Potter believes he is leaning toward evil, as well as with your enemy, but knows he must fight to defeat Voldemort and the Death Eaters and restore peace in the wizarding world. In this way, it will be addressed also this point in the film (entitled by the same name) trying to understand how the essence of the literary fragment was transposed into the visual language, using as the main theoretical basis, the translation Intersemiotic by Julio Plaza.

This study examines and explains Álvaro Siza's work and journey, especially regarding the interface between design thinking and the constructed building. It justifies the choice by this architect because he understands that his projective positioning, critical and reflective, which takes space as a resource capable of being molded or modeled, construction as a concrete manifestation of his own artistic ability and architecture as a tangible phenomenon placed at the service of people. As a research hypothesis, this thesis considers the fact that the buildings Álvaro Siza designs materialize his way of thinking an architecture based on a set of correlated conceptual variables: focus on human being, attention to the local context and appreciation of materiality. It situates the architectural course of Álvaro Siza in the history of Portuguese architecture from the mid-twentieth century onwards, relating his projects to some of the political, social and cultural circumstances of the country. It stresses that it is through the genealogy of his work that it is possible to understand an architectural practice that is supported by mediation, balance, pragmatism and the combination, adjustment or harmonization with preexistences. These, although sometimes without patrimonial or monumental value, are respected and considered as basic subsidy to the project. It understands that Siza’s creative exercise considers, in a very particular and characteristic way, a set of negotiations between means and ends, opportunities and choices, materials and forms. It argues that in the experience of built architecture it is possible to perceive the essence of his projects, the consistency of his ideas and Siza's ability to respond positively to the requirements of each new project conceived. It adopts as an investigative procedure the inferential method of Baxandall (2006) articulated to bibliographic and field research. Thereby, elects the Viana do Castelo Municipal Library (2008) and the Nadir Afonso Museum of Contemporary Art (2016), both visited in 2019, for a more detailed design, circumstantial and constructive analysis, namely in relation to the reasons for the orders, to the drawings as indispensable instruments to the project, to the relations with the surrounding spaces, to the formal and material choices, to the structural and constructive systems and to the analogies with other works of his own. It concludes that, over the years, Álvaro Siza has perfected an architectural calligraphy that continues to represent his style or his very own and peculiar way of making architectural projects, and that is enshrined in a continuous experimentation, in the belief that there are no pre-established rules, because always propitious to the combination of design demands and signals provided by the real world. An architecture that does not surrender to contemporary aesthetic manipulation, since it is valued by its own plastic logic, always designed to offer people spaces to be experienced and not just contemplated. An architecture in which matter can be understood as the element that transforms the project’s idea into a tangible element, and for that very reason anticipates the possibilities of existence and resistance in the physical world, thus validating its own raison d'être.

The aim of this work was to answer the following question: Which learning activities are present among the business staff of a university? The main goals were: (i) to identify and analyse which work activities, either formal or informal, bring learning knowledge to the business staff of a university; and (ii) to analyse the learning activities, formal and informal, by examining the aspects that facilitate and the obstacles that influence the knowledge acquisition. This work was made in a university in São Paulo city through a quantitative research conducted by means of a survey. The data collection with the business staff was made through a research form based on Slater (2004), adapted to this work. The main results were explored with the use of statistic tools (Excel, SPSS and SmartPLS), which allowed and the confirmatory factorial analysis (based on the final collection results and the pre-test results). The results identified that the staff learn more through informal learning activities, especially when executing their own jobs, interacting with other employees/ students and communicating with themselves. The activities executing their on job and interaction with other employees/students were considered the most important for the administrative employees who took part in the research. The factor individual learning is the one that influences the most the existence of informal learning in the Educational Institution, and it was responsible for 49% of the results in this research.

The president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva always generated interest in the social stand point. Born in Garanhuns, he came to São Paulo in a pau-de-arara (truck used to transport workers in very precarious conditions) and reached the highest point at the national hierarchy: the President of the Republic of Brazil. His speeches have always drawn multitudes of people: first, as a union leader at the doors of industries, then as president of the Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores) and, finally, as the President of the Republic. With that in mind, this essay intends to evaluate the contents of two of Lula s speeches. The first one made soon after the victory on the second round of the electoral poles for the presidency and the second at the day he took over as the president of Brazil. Two different contents, tow different speech processes, two different moments seen under the light of the French Method for Speech Analysis, which focuses on the examination of the deixis, the development of the speech formation and the presuppose.

At times when society is in a transition of models the way we work, the question is: and where will people go? In this academic research, we sought to describe, after hearing UBER drivers in the city of São Paulo, what were their motivations, how they work, to understand what their work context is and what conditions they are subjected to behind the wheel. It also points to the search for clarity regarding the consolidation of the informal labor market, driven by the current financial crisis. The opportunities for informal work, the precariousness arising and finally the gig economy. In addition, a critical look at the new phenomenon called uberization. All these elements make up the research for this work.

Este trabalho visa analisar a tributação de serviços de Streaming no Brasil, verificando se a incidência do Imposto sobre Serviços (ISS) para estas plataformas é constitucional. Primeiro analisaremos a tecnologia Streaming, estudando seu conceito, origem, espécie, estrutura e as duas principais empresas de Streaming utilizadas atualmente, Netflix e Spotify. Posteriormente, examinaremos o Streaming como hipótese de incidência tributária, a partir da forma como é tributado nos Estados Unidos (EUA). Além disso, verificaremos a questão do conflito de competências entre o ICMS e o ISS, que é assunto bastante discutido atualmente. Ainda, estudaremos a aplicabilidade do ISS, verificando o seu conceito, aspectos históricos, seu comportamento com base na legislação pátria e sua regra matriz de incidência. Por fim, identificaremos se de fato há constitucionalidade da aplicação do Imposto sobre Serviços para as plataformas de Streaming, identificação se deveria ou não ter como característica essencial a obrigação “de fazer” e analisando a Súmula Vinculante número 31, a fim de corroborar com a análise de inconstitucionalidade da referida exação.
