This dissertation analyzed the contributions and limitations of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) for the strengthening of family farming in the municipality of Mazagão / AP (2010 - 2018). PAA emerged in Brazil in 2003, to meet the pressures of rural social movements that claimed public policies for family farming. Through the Purchase with Simultaneous Donation (CDS) modality, the state of Amapá started its participation in 2009. The city of Mazagão/AP was selected as a place of research by significant and continuous participation in the program's resources. In this way, the guiding question asked was: what were the contributions and limitations of PAA / CDS to the strengthening of family farming in Mazagão municipality from 2010 to 2018? In search of answers, the agrarian question was contextualized from the international and Brazilian theoretical conceptions; It was analyzed the PAA / CDS as a public policy for the strengthening of family farming in Brazil, as well as the contributions and limitations of PAA / CDS in that municipality were identified and discussed. To meet the proposed objectives, was used a quantitative and qualitative reasoned research. The methodological procedures used were exploratory and bibliographic research, documentary research and field research. As field research techniques were Narrative Interview (EN) with representatives of companies and representative of the National Food Company (CONAB), application of the PAA / CDS Satisfaction Assessment Model (MAS) and meetings of focus groups with family farmers (04 groups). The study involved four associated with farmers in the municipality of Mazagão and a total of 18 participants. The results showed that in 10 years of PAA / CDS in the state of Amapá, the state was the 2º in the North Region with the largest participation in the program's resources (R $ 35,116,329.15), of the 16 municipalities, 12 participated. In addition, the municipality with the highest participation was Mazagão / AP, its executed values represent 39% (R $ 12,733,620, 25) of the total state resources. Therefore, this dissertation aims to contribute to the debates on regional development through discussions on peasantry, family farming, agroextractivism, public policies and mainly about the PAA / CDS in the Amazon, Amapá and Mazagão.

External assessments seek standardized assessment matrices in order to generate indicators of educational quality. Therefore, their knowledge and debate become fundamental in initial teacher training courses. Given this context, the objective of this research is to investigate the presence of contents and/or curricular components related to large-scale assessments in the syllabus of the Pedagogical Course Projects (PPC) of Degree in Biological Sciences of different HEIs, as well as to analyze the workload and bibliographies related to the theme. This documentary research presents a qualitative approach. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, the selection of PPCs was carried out, and data analysis was performed through the analysis of the content of the. It was possible to perceive that there is no presence of contents and/or curricular components that specifically address external and large-scale assessments. However, there are curricular components that, based on their objectives and menus, allow us to infer that there are possibilities for a dialogue about these assessments. Therefore, as it generates implications for the structuring of education, it would be important to reorganize the curriculum within the Biological Sciences Licentiate courses, considering that external assessments, in large part, directly imply the future locus of work.

This study aimed to present the costs that Brazil had to hold the XX World Cup Football FIFA. The canopy is the second largest sporting event, behind only the Olympics. The methodology includes procedures for bibliographic and documentary research to exploratory and descriptive goals for the qualitative and quantitative approach. The results show that the host city with the highest prediction was spending São Paulo and Porto Alegre less. Regarding the execution showed the largest investments to São Paulo, being higher than forecast and the lowest value was for Curitiba. Ascertained that Belo Horizonte, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Manaus, Natal, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador were able to perform their work with fewer resources than anticipated. To pay the highest value found for Sao Paulo, higher than the run, mainly due interest and other charges on loans purchased from third parties. The other cities were unable to afford the full value of the works, with Salvador closest to repay the expenses. The Urban Mobility function had the highest estimated expenditures, but at the time of execution higher expenses were allocated to Airports, and this is the function that showed the amounts paid. Finally it is possible to find the value predicted by Brazil to conduct this mega event was R $ 23,078,438,171.07, when performing the works there was an increase of over 500 million and the country still needs to pay more than 7 billion reais.
