Used as a binder in coatings, structures, reinforcements and restorations, cement is the most relevant product in civil construction. The cement industry is the largest cause of GHG among industrial processes and, without a change in demand or in the production process, it will reach more than 45 bi ton. cumulative CO2 emissions in the year 2100. The durability of the cementitious material is compromised by porosity, permeability, negligible tensile and flexural strengths, and sensitivity to ...

The increase in glycerol production, which is obtained during transesterification to produce biodiesel, has led to a devaluation of this by-product due to the supply on the global market. However, the use of glycerol as a feedstock to produce higher value-added products can improve the economic viability of the biofuels industry. Catalytic hydrogenolysis has emerged as a promising alternative for the synthesis of 1,3-propanediol, an alcohol commonly used in polymerization reactions, espec...
The study seeks to expand the understanding of how children in the literacy process, who already phonetize writing, face challenges when writing words with nasal or nasalized vowels in Brazilian Portuguese. It is anchored in the psychogenetic framework and concerns the appropriation of writing by children in the literacy process. It has its origins in research carried out by Ferreiro and Zen (2022), which inaugurated the investigation into the particularities of the process of acquiring writi...
This master's thesis aimed to contribute to discussions and studies on argumentation in Biology. This study is structured in multipaper format and encompasses a collection consisting of two articles, the first being theoretical and the next empirical. The present research aims to analyze the development of argumentation in Natural Sciences textbooks considering the limitations and contributions to teaching. It is understood that textbooks that have an argumentative focus are instruments with ...
Objective: to describe the completeness of notifications of accidents involving venomous animals held on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (SINAN), in Brazil and its macro-regions, from 2007 to 2019. Methods: we analyzed essential and non-mandatory fields for snakebite, spider bite and scorpion sting notifications, considering the following completeness categories: Excellent (≤5.0% incompleteness), Good (5.0% to 10.0%), Regular (10.0% to 20.0%), Poor (20.0% to ≤50.0%) an...
The objective was to identify dietary patterns and associated factors in schoolchildren from public schools in a city in southern Brazil. Cross-sectional, school-based study (31 schools; 1,750 students, 12-19 years), in the city of Caxias do Sul/Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A self-applicable questionnaire was used for data collection.

For data collection, a wide questionnaire was used, in addition to anthropometric measurements (Body Mass Index - BMI and waist circumference). Associations with outco...
This thesis is on the professional training of police officers from the School Police Battalion (BPEsc) for dealing with incidents related to the misuse of narcotic substances by children and adolescents, mediated by a digital Role Playing Game (RPG). The research is supported by a question: How will a proposed pedagogical application mediated by Digital Role Playing Game, based on the virtual simulation of police incidents involving cases of drugs misuse by children and adolescents, enable t...
The dissertation presents the study of productions that deal with applications, implications and challenges related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in tutoring in Distance Education (DE). Its theme is the use and possibilities of AI in distance learning tutoring. The research question was: what are the perspectives, applications and implications of AI in the context of distance learning tutoring, from the perspective of Information Science (IS)? The objective is to identify IS pers...
Ants are socially organized and have sophisticated means of communication, mainly through pheromones. Intense communication can allow the application of the concept of collective cognition and consequently imply the existence of a collective personality. The general objective of this work was to test the existence of a correlation between collective cognition and collective personality in Dorymyrmex thoracicus. Specifically, it was intended to: Measure the cognitive ability of collective deci...
À Deriva Sonora (Sound Drift) is a research project that aims to create a historical and artistic overview of thinkers and creators who reflect on urban space as a political and creative power through sound art. Starting from flânerie, Dadaist visits, Surrealist wanderings, Situationist dri- fts and sound walks, a journey of perceptions of urban space is developed. An investigative path of sound as materiality is created based on Pierre Schaeffer's thinking of the sound object; on the evocati...

The environmental degradation arising from contaminants of emerging concern, especially endocrine disruptors, is a safety and sustainability problem affecting drinking water treatment and supply systems. One of the most important effects of endocrine disruptors is estrogenic activity, caused by compounds capable of imitating the activity of the natural female hormone 17β-estradiol (E2). This work aimed to analyze human health risks (non-carcinogenic) and the risk of estrogenic activ...
Since the introduction of biodiesel in the Brazilian energy matrix in 2005, more than 50 billion liters of this biofuel have been produced, and different blending percentages have been adopted, contributing to the decarbonization of road freight transportation. This was only possible due to the elimination of numerous technical-scientific bottlenecks, which required the dedication and commitment of numerous researchers affiliated with hundreds of Brazilian Science and Technology institutions ...
