ABSTRACT: This research was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the possibility of automating the accessibility of public access to public toilets through sensors, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of wheelchair users. The importance of conducting this study stems from the fact that, currently, there are several innovations and automations on the market that increase productivity and quality in the industry, streamline processes, facilitate daily activities through automation and the use of sensors. Therefore, it appears that there is a possibility to improve the quality of life of wheelchair users, to further ease locomotion and movement in several ways ensuring safety and minimizing physical stress. In addition, an interview was conducted with wheelchair users, in order to understand their difficulties in accessing the Person with disability (PwD) public bathroom door. And it is important to highlight that the greatest difficulty is to be lack of physical space in a toilet, added to the opening doors struggle. The study portrays a method for adapting the door through automation with sensors and the costs involved in this project. The modification of the sensors provides a great automation option, by making possible that public bathroom doors to open with a better space and width. Besides, a modification like this will guarantee a decrease of some difficulties of the bathroom use by wheelchair users. While it provides safety, inclusion and a significant reduction of the daily stress aiming to a safer and independent life. This paper presents a feasibility study for the implementation of the automation mentioned above. Then, it is necessary to comprehended about the difficulties facing by wheelchairs users regarding the infrastructure found in public places to researching the civil construction standards that regulate the accessibility of public toilets. In addition, an understanding of electronic resources, technologies and costs that could enable the development of the automation.

The purpose of this study is to compare both male and female perceptions of sexual harassment in organizations, through a survey and bibliography research. This research also aims, in addition to understanding the behavior of people given some situations considered normal in the workplace, to compare the perspectives of men and women, regarding Paul's questionnaire, on how they react to the same situation. Besides, there are differences between types of harassment that are present in workplace environment. And it is also an important indicator to understand what are male and female’s perceptions about all types of harassment as well.
