With the advancement of technology and greater access to information, especially by expanding the use of the Internet, each time have more ability to achieve higher quality of work, especially considering the amount of information that one can get when your elaboração. However, with this development, also increase the problems related to academic plagiarism, either through ignorance, structural problems of education or even bad faith by some students, who are confined to the found content without adding to them the a critical view or conclusion about the topic. The aim of this study was to analyze aspects related to plagiarism in academic raising important features about it in practice, aimed at assisting in the creation of measures and practices to the coordination of different levels courses. After literature analysis of their perception, it is noted that the concept is very clear and, in most cases, easily understood by the students and teachers. However, some types of plagiarism, as the ghost authoring and content (font) can occur less consciously or harder so as to be perceived by the teacher, while other types of plagiarism can be more easily identified and demonstrated to students through tools like DOCxWEB. The results are presented as existing forms of approach to detect and analyze plagiarism and the perception of the different reactions of the students on the subject. We realize the importance of situational awareness of the plagiarism by all parties involved, also understanding that it will fulfill an important step in your personal and professional growth. We used the descriptive case study method in a report form of experience trying to contribute in a significant way with other teachers that work in a similar way, seeking to motivate and encourage further studies on possible methods and techniques about the approaching "plagiarism ". It was noticed that, according to the studied literature, an increase and greater dissemination of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have influenced the increased occurrence of plagiarism. Nevertheless, it was noted that universities have difficulty determining guidelines for the correct and proper way to treat the subject, both with teachers, as with the students.

Thus, the work started collecting information from secondary sources, with statistical data provided by the Agricultural Economics Institute (IEA) on milk production in the state. It used the known machine learning method OPF, by LibOPF tool for identifying clusters of these production characteristics. From these figures, it was possible to obtain a more secure information base to analyze and propose improvements, given that artificial intelligence tools make it possible to analyze large amounts of data with greater robustness. The data analyzed were the amount of milk produced on farms according to their type. With the results obtained, it was possible to suggest adjustments in public agencies and training actions linked to farmers, more focused on the reality of each municipality, according to the perceived fitness in time for the production of different types of milk. When comparing the two methods, it was revealed that both were effective, but brought results that provided different analyzes for the same set of data. The OPF identified which municipalities accounted for each of the existing production patterns in the state of São Paulo, while the method of k-means possible to identify the patterns that best represented the state as a whole, showing clusters with higher incidence and greater quantity, determining the main feature of the state, and also less expressive patterns that appeared less frequently, which correspond to a state secondary feature.

The 5s program originated in Japan destroyed by World War II, with the main objective to suggest actions that aim to transform the working environment and promote behavioral changes in people, both in the personal environment and the organizational. Considering this method, it sought to answer the 5S can still be considered as a good methodology to be applied in today's organizations. This research aimed to highlight the ideas of several authors about the 5s program, addressing the concept, origin, reporting on the five senses and showing the importance and the advantages of its application in today's organizations, considering that it is an approach which is not new. Considering the difficulty that you have to get access to the real information of companies and considering the period for the research on a course conclusion work Postgraduate distance was used as methodology the literature. It was noted that this thought of continuous improvement leads, organization, discipline through awareness and commitment from all levels, in search of a work environment healthier, enjoyable and productive. It was also found that its implementation can generate great results and has been implemented in various and varied branches of the market, regardless of the size of the institutions. It was found also that the 5S program seeks to educate, motivate and mobilize all employees about the importance of total quality, and all human beings become part of the positive results achieved. Although the tool displays simple concepts and their application is easy to understand, the most difficult task is the continuity and maintenance of the program, ie, is a program easy to start but difficult to be maintained and preserved, and its results depend solely on the level of involvement of people. It was concluded that with the implementation of the program, the organization is always seeking to achieve more quality in their processes. 5S is a method of continuous improvement, which in no time ends, always in development, allowing the involved individual and professional growth, not only in the company but for life.

This dissertation aims to establish patterns in general aviation accidents, identifying the main characteristics of accidents in order to prevent their recurrence. It was used a pattern classifier based on Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) as a way to complement the statistical results and allow a deeper analysis of the topic, with data extracted from the Accident Final Reports emitted by the Centro de Investigação e Prevenção de Acidentes Aeronáuticos (Cenipa). The results showed the robustness of the tool analysing the sample, however some results are not conclusive in certain types of variables. Through this tool, we seek to establish the relationship between qualification and pilot experience, type of aircraft, accident fatality presence of copilot and contributing factors to accidents, aiming to stimulate the discussion on new rules for the category, always focusing on improving flight safety.

vents related to bird strike has become increasingly serious. There was an evidence survey on this kind of risk, its origin and connection to municipal solid waste and also the legislation that addresses the subject in a case study on Presidente Prudente Airport in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This case study ends by identifying the Municipal graveyard as a major attraction area of birds which endangers the landing and takeoff operations. The location very close to the airport field and the fact that the graveyard does not have adequate infrastructure, attract many birds for the airport area, factor representing a high risk to airplanes arriving or departing, due to poor solid waste management, although current legislation already addresses the issue

The "Swiss cheese" theory, from James Reason, states that for an accident to happen is necessary there is a number of contributing factors, as there is not a single cause. In the present work, it sought to establish patterns of occurrence of the contributing factors in accidents of
general aviation during between 2007 and 2013 based on the final reports provided by the Brazilian Investigative Body. For this, machine learning was used by the pattern classifier known as OPF (Optimum-Path Forest), relating the presence of contributing actors with aspects of pilot and aircraft.

Aircraft incidents caused by birds flying near airports are increasingly frequent. Hence, a two-year qualitative study was carried out, seeking to understand the risk posed by urban solid trash and waste landfills as well as the pertinent legislation, in a Case Study based on the close proximity between a City Landfill and a State Airport at Presidente Prudente, in Western São Paulo State, Brazil. This two-year study concluded that both the chosen technology and the Landfill's location threaten landing and takeoff operations at this Airport, pointing to poor management of urban solid trash & waste as well as an illegal pertinent legislation.

Human factors are the main contributors to accidents of Private Air Services (SAP) of General Aviation in Brazil. It is proposed to analyze accident reports between 2003 and 2013, using theories such as Reason's "Swiss Cheese", the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), and the SHELL model, in order to identify how pilots' training influences piston and propeller powered aircrafts' accidents. The goal is to suggest improvements starting from the hypothesis that the aircraft pilot training in general aviation in Brazil is not enough to ensure flight safety.

Aviation impacts climate alterations and air quality near airports, and this challenges managers to plan mitigating actions aimed at local pollution reduction. A mitigating measure is suggested herein, to counter aircraft pollution emissions in São Paulo’s Congonhas downtown commuter airport through the installation of an electric motor in the landing gear of Airbus A319/A320 and Boeing B737 aircrafts. This measure will allow for operations “taxi-in” and “taxi- out”, aircraft need not use the turbo-fan engines, significantly reducing the amount of gaseous and particulate pollutants emitted.

This paper aims on reducing uncertainties on engineering equipment management for infrastructure projects, especially during phases of the asset life cycle, as in the decision of purchasing, replacing, renewing or abandoning. Therefore, concepts of economic engineering were discussed and applied as life cycle cost and quality dimensions. It was also proposed a decision support method for each stage of the life cycle. The useful life of the equipment was determined graphically by finding the equivalent annual cost (eac) and annual production equivalent (pae) curves based on a model incorporating the curve pae to the analysis.

Over recent years a few laws began to regulate land use around airport regions, such as the demarcation of the ASA (Airport Safety Area). This work identified the bird attraction points inside the Presidente Prudente Airport ASA, in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. For that purpose, a case study was conducted in which the bird attraction points close to the airport that endanger flight safety were identified. Such study was carried out by aerial and ground survey after reviewing the literature, and regular visits to these sites to confirm the potential of bird attraction. As a result, certain proposals have been suggested aiming to reduce bird strike risk at the airport area.

Sheep creation is an activity that starts to be developed in an enterprise form by the producers in the country, also at São Paulo State. Although it’s developed it has a long time, the Sheep creation directed toward production of meats, always was seen as a
subsistence production in Brazil. With the interest of the population for a more healthful feeding and the growth of the average income of the consumers, the sheep meat gained
adepts and, consequently, an income-producing option for the producer became. In the Region of Tupã, in the northwest of São Paulo State, the increase of the interest in sheep production also is associated with the expansion of the culture of cane-of-sugar, therefore the producers are using areas not adapted areas for the canaviais to create these animals,
because sheep creation doesn’t need need a very great space. Thus, the objective of the paper is to demonstrate to the growth and development of the sheep creation in the region
of Tupã, aiming at to identify the main reasons for that phenomenon to be happening, as well as the existing impediments in the production, and its viability, since the culture of the cane-of-sugar meets in expansion in this region and the sheep creation can become a complementary activity to the proprietors.

Flight safety means reducing and managing the risk of personal injuries or material goods damage to material goods as much as possible, therefore, it’s considered necessary studies serving as a basis for preventing new accidents, since these events can cause high expenses in financial values and the loss of human lives. Departing from the "swiss cheese" theory of James Reason, different assessments were conducted, through artificial intelligence, regarding aspects and characteristics patterns of general aviation accidents between 2005 and 2013, based on the reports from the investigative body, using a machine learning pattern classifier known as OPF (Optimum-Path Forest). Examples of characteristics that were analyzed are total experience, experience in the aircraft of the accident, recent experience, qualification level, aspects of the contributing factors, the total amount of contributing factors, number of engines, number of uncertain factors, engine type, presence of co-pilot, and fatality, amounting 49 possibilities that were also assessed by means of statistical tests in order to analyze the robustness of the OPF method. Analyzes were performed at the robust results, by the bias of flight safety considering the patterns found. In the results that did not obtain robust results, it was analyzed possible adjustments and improvements in the application of this method, in order to explain what the investigator should be alert when organizing and applying the OPF on a database. As a complement analysis, some aspects which were noticed at accident reports during the data extraction emphasizing, specially, cases and events that should be better observed by the investigative body about their reporting methods and about its impartiality. The value of discussing the patterns of characteristics clearly proved that some pilots profiles require more attention regarding some characteristics (engine of the aircraft or its actions, for example) about flight safety, concluding that, in general, it’s possible to have good results with OPF, finding patterns beyond the statistical correlation.
