“Ser diferente é normal” : a expressividade do self de pessoas autistas em mídias sociais da internet e suas lutas por reconhecimento
Dissertação (mestrado) — Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Sociais, Departamento de Sociologia, 2021.Apesar das dificuldades de comunicação e de socialização em interações face a face, pessoas autistas
têm encontrado nas mídias sociais da internet a oportunidade para a expressividade de seu self, com
base em narrativas que evocam a aceitação da diferença como característica da diversidade humana.
Trata-se de uma luta pelo reconhecimento social do sujeito autista, a partir de demandas identitárias
orquestradas pelo desejo de viver conforme a originalidade de cada self. Nesta dissertação,
apresentamos percursos de reconhecimento de personagens que narram na internet suas experiências
enquanto pessoas autistas, as quais encontram em espaços virtuais o lócus para testarem as próprias
capacidades de expressão e comunicação, testemunhando modos particulares de vivenciarem a sua
neurodiversidade. Como suporte teórico, o trabalho se apropria das contribuições de autores da
sociologia, filosofia e psicologia, entre eles, George Mead (1981), Charles Taylor (2011), Paul Ricoeur
(2014), e Axel Honneth (2009), na tentativa de explorar a relação da teoria social com abordagens que
deslocam o sujeito da perspectiva do self neuronormativo para aquela do self neurodiverso. O percurso
metodológico adotou a etnografia virtual em quatro páginas de mídias sociais da internet administradas
por adultos autistas. Analisamos o conteúdo publicado nesses espaços durante o período de abril a
setembro de 2020. Além disso, foram aplicados roteiros de entrevistas narrativas com os autistas
responsáveis por esses perfis na internet, a fim de delimitar os acontecimentos e marcadores sociais
que dão embasamento ao processo de construção da identidade pessoal. A análise dos dados nos
permitiu o levantamento de oito tipos de temas suscitados na narrativa digital dos autistas, incluindo
desde o relato de dificuldades cognitivas do transtorno no dia a dia, até as experiências de capacitismo,
os desafios e limites impostos pelas estruturas sociais em seus funcionamentos, os efeitos do
reconhecimento de si mesmo para a aceitação da identidade autista, bem como a agenda de lutas pela
inclusão social e empoderamento sob o registro da neurodiversidade.Despite the difficulties of communication and socialization in face-to-face interactions, autistic people
have found the opportunity to express their self in social media on the internet, based on narratives that
evoke the acceptance of difference as a characteristic of human diversity. It is a struggle for social
recognition of the autistic subject, based on identity demands orchestrated by the desire to live according
to the originality of each self. In this dissertation, we present paths of recognition of characters who
narrate their experiences on the internet as autistic people, who find in virtual spaces the locus to test
their own expression and communication skills, witnessing particular ways of experiencing their
neurodiversity. As theoretical support, the work appropriates the contributions of authors from sociology,
philosophy and psychology, among them, George Mead (1981), Charles Taylor (2011), Paul Ricoeur
(2014), and Axel Honneth (2009), in an attempt to explore the relationship of social theory with
approaches that shift the subject from the perspective of the neuronormative self to that of the
neurodiverse self. The methodological approach adopted virtual ethnography in four internet social
media pages managed by autistic adults. We analyzed the content published in these spaces during the
period from April to September 2020. In addition, narrative interview scripts were applied with the autistic
people responsible for these profiles on the internet, in order to delimit the events and social markers
that support the process of construction of personal identity. Data analysis allowed us to survey eight
types of themes raised in the digital narrative of autistic people, ranging from the report of cognitive
difficulties of the disorder in their daily lives, to the experiences of capacitation, the challenges and limits
imposed by the social structures in their functionings, the effects of self-recognition for the acceptance of
the autistic identity, as well as the agenda of struggles for social inclusion and empowerment under the
register of neurodiversity
AcquaSmart: An Environment Big Data Analytics and Internet of Things to Education and Research
Being an interdisciplinary area, Internet of Things presents great challenges to learning. However, it already is and will continue to be part of the daily life and thus requires qualified professionals to advance projects in this area. Apart from acquiring theoretical concepts, students need to put knowledge into practice. This practical learning aims to provide a means of easy assimilation to the student and that can mirror real situations of implementation. This work presents an Internet of Things learning methodology based on the development of environments that enable the student to put theoretical knowledge into practice in a scenario of easy assimilation. It is expected that the student will be able to understand the process of developing Internet of Things projects and the technologies involved in it. The proposed methodology is composed of 5 steps. The student analyzes the development environment, defines the type of implementation to be carried out, develops the hardware, the software and documents of the project. The data architecture together with the methodology allow the student to use and propose various types of development environments, controllers and web applications, being very flexible for learning. The implementation of temperature control was carried out in an aquarium environment. The proposed methodology proved to be efficient for the development of this project, so it can be applied in Internet of Things learning in educational institutions
Espaço e Utilizador: a habitação
Este estudo parte da reflexão sobre o propósito da arquitectura no contexto do início doséculo XXI. Ao ser retratada como uma relação entre utilizador e espaço, o objectivo dotrabalho baseia-se na exploração de temas que permitam uma melhor adequação entreambos esses elementos.É desenvolvido um projecto conceptual que procura analisar os processos fundamentaisdessa relação, focando o trabalho no entendimento de como melhorar a ligação espaço/utilizador.Através da observação sobre a finalidade da arquitectura, da sua relação com o contextoactual, da investigação da habitação e da definição do utilizador, procura-se um pensamentodiferente que tenha a capacidade de dar resposta às questões abordadas.Assim, este trabalho analisa alguns dos assuntos considerados mais relevantes para adisciplina e para a sociedade do século XXI, tentando sempre motivar uma discussão sobretemas que possam motivar uma maior eficácia da prática.This study is built upon a reflexion on the purpose of architecture in the context of the beginning of the 21st century. By portraying it as a relationship between space and user, the goal of the work is set on the exploration of themes that make path for a better connection between both.A conceptual project is developed, trying to analyse the fundamental processes of the relationship. Thus, the work is focused on the understanding of how to improve the space/user liaison, by recognizing some of the habitant's daily needs and how can space be used in order to create new results.Through the observation on the purpose of architecture, of its relation with the current context, the investigation on housing and the definition of user, a different way of thinking is sought so that the approached questions may be answered.Therefore, this work examines some of the 21st century society and discipline's most pressing matters, always trying to motivate the discussion on topics that may enhance the accuracy of the practice

Photographic assessment of nasal morphology following rapid maxillary expansion in children
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to use facial analysis to determine the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nasal morphology in children in the stages of primary and mixed dentition, with posterior cross-bite. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Facial photographs (front view and profile) of 60 patients in the pre-expansion period, immediate post-expansion period and one year following rapid maxillary expansion with a Haas appliance were evaluated on 2 occasions by 3 experienced orthodontists independently, with a 2-week interval between evaluations. The examiners were instructed to assess nasal morphology and had no knowledge regarding the content of the study. Intraexaminer and interexaminer agreement (assessed using the Kappa statistic) was acceptable. RESULTS: From the analysis of the mode of the examiners' findings, no alterations in nasal morphology occurred regarding the following aspects: dorsum of nose, alar base, nasal width of middle third and nasal base. Alterations were only detected in the nasolabial angle in 1.64% of the patients between the pre-expansion and immediate post-expansion photographs. In 4.92% of the patients between the immediate post-expansion period and 1 year following expansion; and in 6.56% of the patients between the pre-expansion period and one year following expansion. CONCLUSIONS: RME performed on children in stages of primary and mixed dentition did not have any impact on nasal morphology, as assessed using facial analysis

Intellectual Property Indicators in the Mesoregions of the State of Alagoas-Brazil
The objective of this study is to analyze local, innovative and sustainable development in the three Mesoregions of Alagoas, through intellectual property indicators (patents, trademarks, industrial design and geographical indications). The methodology consists of the analysis of secondary sources extracted from the Statistical Database on Industrial Property (BADEPI), available on the website of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), for the years 2010 to 2017. The results point out marked differences, with the eastern Alagoas mesoregion concentrating the intellectual property indicators with two geographical indications, 95.93% of the patent deposits and 84.73% of the deposits of trademark registrations, as well as industrial designs and computer programs. Agreste Alagoano presents a reasonable amount of intellectual protection, with emphasis on the municipality of Arapiraca. Sertão Alagoano, on the other hand, has the worst situation, low amount of intellectual property, even in a region with a diversified cultural and environmental environment. Thus, it was found that the Mesoregions of Alagoas need an ecosystem that invests in the innovation process in the region, especially the Sertão Alagoano
