Acknowledgments

First of all, I would like thank my grandmother, Vo? Nana. The one that encouraged me to pursue what I wanted.

To my parents, Fa? tima Rosa and Paulo Rosa, for all the education and support and for putting up with my me, specially in the morning!

To all my family, specially my sister, Raquel Rosa, for caring. To professor Jose? Alberto Sardinha, for the guidance and knowledge transmitted. To therapist Ce? lia Cunha, for the willingness to help. To my good friends, my second family, the ones that seduce me to go home late when I shouldn't and with whom it is possible to forget all worries and enjoy life. Last, but definitely not least, to the one and only, Lu?is Santos. The one who always helped me surpass the obstacles and encouraged me to continue. The one that is always there.
