Abstract The transformation of women’s role in society has been systematically studied. Numerous authors point out that among the factors of extreme relevance to this fact, the main is the increased presence of women in the formal job market. Researches also reveal that the increase in quantity is not reflected equally in all productive sectors nor the egalitarian occupation of high hierarchical positions. The present study aimed to analyze how the presence of women, especially in leadership positions, has evolved at the Brazilian Federal Agency for the Support and Evaluation of Postgraduate Education (CAPES) and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) over the last 20 years. For these analyzes, surveys were conducted in the people management systems of the Brazilian Federal Public Administration. The initial hypothesis was that female attendance had increased in both the total number of female servants and in management and auxiliary positions, known as DAS in Brazil; however, evidence shows that women reduced overall agency presence, especially in the number of female Analysts occupying DAS positions. These results indicate that the misogyny observed in the academic sphere of the Brazilian National Postgraduate and Science, Technology, and Innovation systems are replicated in the politic-bureaucratic sphere that manages and sponsors these systems.

Esse trabalho procurou diagnosticar os fenômenos patológicos apresentados pela "Ponte da Barra" (ponte metálica restaurada e reforçada para implantação da Ferrovia Turística Cultural entre Ouro Preto e Mariana/MG) e apresentar soluções para o combate a tais fenômenos. Para o cadastro da ponte, foram identificadas, por inspeção visual e registros fotográficos, as patologias presentes. Também foi realizada a modelagem numérica através de elementos finitos (elemento de barra com seis graus de liberdade por nó), visando a analisar o comportamento estrutural da ponte antes e após reforço estrutural. Dessa maneira foi possível fazer a avaliação da estabilidade da mesma e, também, a avaliação da eficiência do reforço estrutural proposto. A análise numérica foi viabilizada através de parâmetros levantados in loco, como geometria, propriedades mecânicas e fatores patológicos. Os estudos laboratoriais, como caracterização química, ensaio de tração, análise metalográfica e dos produtos de corrosão, foram determinadas através de amostras do aço de elementos estruturais da própria ponte. Observou-se que o sistema de curva tensionada utilizado para reforço estrutural agravou, sistematicamente, a estabilidade global da ponte, introduzindo acréscimo de carga aos elementos estruturais mais críticos.

This work sought to diagnose and propose solutions for the pathological phenomena occurring on the bridge "Ponte da Barra" (a metallic bridge that was restored and reinforced for use by the Tourist-Culture Railroad between Ouro Preto and Mariana/MG). To obtain the bridge profile, a visual inspection and photographic registers were performed to evaluate existing pathologies. Numerical modeling was also performed, using finite elements (bar elements with six degrees of freedom per node), aiming to analyze the bridge's structural behavior before and after reinforcement. This permitted evaluation of the bridge's stability as well as the efficiency of the structural reinforcement proposed. The numerical analysis proved feasible when parameters measured in situ, such as geometry, mechanical properties and pathological factors were implemented. The laboratory studies, such as: chemical characterization, stress tests, metalographic analysis, and corrosion, were performed using steel samples from the bridge's structural elements. The conclusion reached was that the Rigid Tension Curve System used for structural reinforcement systematically diminished the overall stability of the bridge, introducing a load increase on the most critical structural elements.
