abstract: ABSTRACT With projections indicating that by the year 2025, one of every four K-12 students in the United States will be Latino, addressing the needs of Latino students is an important question for educators. This study approached this question through an analysis of the educational life histories, stories, of successful first generation Mexican-American college graduates to understand some of the factors which helped them succeed in college. I categorized the stories inductively into three themes: 1) stories of students and school, 2) stories of friends, family, and cultural communities, and 3) stories about race and politics. Participants' intellectual self-concept, both positive and negative, was to a great extent influenced by the messages they received from the educational system. Some of the participants took a traditional path from high school through college, while others took very indirect paths. The support that they received from special programs at the university as well as from their webs of support was crucial in their success. In addition, I found that race mattered when the participants transitioned from their majority Latino high schools to the majority white university as the participants told stories of navigating the cultural and racial dynamics of their status as college students. The participants in my study worked hard to achieve their college degrees. "It's hard" was a phrase often repeated by all participants; hard work was also a cultural value passed on by hard working parents and family members. Stories of luck, both good and bad, factored into their educational life histories. Collaborative programs between secondary school and the university were helpful in creating a transitional bridge for the participants as were culturally-based mentoring programs. The participants benefitted from the culturally-based support they received at the university and the cultural and emotional support of their families. The participants' stories highlight the importance of a race-conscious approach to college going; one which begins with race and builds cross-racial coalitions. This approach would benefit Latino students and, ultimately improve the college going experiences of all students. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D. Educational Leadership and Policy Studies 2011

Esta dissertação procura compreender a atuação e o discurso da Liga Brasileira pelos Aliados, associação fundada com o propósito de apoiar a campanha dos Aliados na Primeira Guerra Mundial. Pretende-se analisar sua estrutura de funcionamento e formas de atuação para promover a campanha daquele bloco de combatentes ao longo do conflito europeu. Através dos boletins, artigos e moções publicados na imprensa carioca, observa-se a elaboração de um discurso com o intuito não apenas de persuadir a opinião pública brasileira a favor dos Aliados, mas de estabelecer uma representação da nação brasileira na Primeira República. / This dissertation aims to comprehend the acts and discourse of Brazilian League for the Allies, association established to help the Allies along the First World War. It is intended to analyse its functional structure and the form of action in order to promote that combatants over the war.

Partiu-se da hipótese de que a forma como ocorre a escuta nesses primeiros contatos pode privilegiar ações assistenciais na perspectiva da Atenção Psicossocial, que visa a constituição de um paradigma substitutivo ao modelo psiquiátrico, ou ações que reforçam o paradigma psiquiátrico dominante. O estudo foi desenvolvido num programa de Saúde Mental que funciona no Centro de Saúde de um município do Estado de São Paulo com 30 mil habitantes, cujo atendimento inicial é denominado Pronto Atendimento. Chegamos à conceituação de duas modalidades de recepção na instituição: o Pronto Atendimento, como uma recepção burocrática, e a recepção-escuta, um modo de recepção em consonância com o paradigma da Atenção Psicossocial. Os dados foram colhidos por intermédio da recepção-escuta com um grupo de usuários no atendimento inicial da instituição, num período de dois meses, no plantão semanal da pesquisadora. Foram realizadas observações participantes sobre a interação desses modos de escuta inicial com a instituição e seus programas e com os profissionais da equipe. Levaram-se em conta, ainda, dados obtidos através da leitura de prontuários e dados fornecidos pelos próprios usuários através de entrevistas que revelaram a relação, destes usuários, com o tratamento a que foram encaminhados seis meses após a recepção-escuta... / This research was carried out to study attentiveness in the first-aid given to patients when they arrive at the first-aid reception room of a Public Mental Health Service and its effect on the therapeutic projects of that Service. We started from the hypothesis that the way such a care is given to patients at that first contact may favor assistance in the perspective of the Psychosocial Care which aims at the organization of a substitutive paradigm to replace the psychiatric model or actions which reinforce the prevailing psychiatric paradigm. The study at issue was carried out in the context of a Mental Health program of a Health Service in a county with 30 thousand people, and its first-aid care is called Pronto Atendimento. Two kinds of first-aid care were classified at that Health Service: first-aid care viewed as a bureaucratic promptness and the Attentive first-aid care, a way of attending to patients in accordance with the paradigm of the Psychosocial Care. The data of the research were collected by means of the attentive first-aid care given to a group of patients as they first arrived at the Service, along a two-month training practice while the researcher was on duty at that Service. Participant observation was also made broaching the interaction of such kinds of attentive first-aid care with the Service at issue and its programs, and also with the first-aid personnel team. One also took into consideration data collected by means of research into the Service record and the information provided by patients in interviews focusing on their relation to the treatment they had been given six months after the attentive first-aid care ...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)

The present work aims to characterize the quality and quantity of water and pollutant loads from Botafogo stream, during the dry and rainy, through analysis of quality and quantity, in order to know the behavior of the water quality of the water body and provide impacts of runoff in the water body. During the dry season, nine monitoring were performed in eight sampling points and during the rainy season, only one point was rated 5 rainfall events. Analyses discriminatory (boxplot), cluster and correlation were essential to understand the variations of water quality in dry periods, demonstrating that monitoring in future there is the possibility of reducing the number of sampling points and parameters. It was observed that the parameters COD, BOD5, color, turbidity, coliforms and E.coli showed clear seasonal variation. In the five rain events was evaluated possible to see large fluctuations in concentration during the monitored parameters, especially coliforms and E.coli, suspended solids and turbidity, clearly demonstrating the impact of stormwater drainage on surface water in urban areas, and it is possible to note that many of the parameters showed much higher concentrations than the limits recommended by CONAMA Resolution 357/05, for rivers Class II. It was also found that the BOD5, the COD, turbidity, and total solids best parameters were the first flush indicators. With the results obtained load was observed that the rainfall events are large contributors to the concentration of pollutants in water bodies, since high loads are transported solids and COD. Thus, the results show that the runoff can carry high concentrations of pollutants into the stream Botafogo and this may suffer siltation and eutrophication. Thus, it is demonstrated the urgent need to study the diffuse loads in water bodies, especially in urban areas and assess the measures that can be undertaken in the basin as a preventive, adoption of alternatives for the control and treatment of pollution and mitigation of impacts caused by human actions. / A urbanização de forma acelerada e desorganizada tem causado diversos impactos ao meio ambiente modificando, tanto as condições de vida das populações, quanto a qualidade dos recursos hídricos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a qualidade e a quantidade das águas e as cargas poluidoras do Córrego Botafogo, situado em Goiânia-GO, nos períodos seco e chuvoso por meio de análises de qualidade e quantidade, a fim de conhecer o comportamento da qualidade da água do corpo hídrico e apresentar os impactos do escoamento superficial no corpo hídrico. No período de seca foram realizados nove monitoramentos em oito pontos amostrais e no período de chuva um ponto apenas foi avaliado em 5 eventos chuvosos. As análises discriminatórias (boxplot), de cluster e de correlação foram essenciais para compreender as variações da qualidade da água em períodos secos, demonstrando que em monitoramentos futuros há a possibilidade da diminuição do número de pontos e parâmetros amostrais. Foi possível observar, ainda, que os parâmetros DQO, DBO5, cor, turbidez, coliformes totais e E.coli apresentaram clara variação sazonal. Nos cinco eventos de chuva avaliados foi possível perceber grandes oscilações na concentração dos parâmetros durante os monitorados, em especial coliformes Totais e E.coli, sólidos suspensos totais e turbidez, demonstrando claramente o impacto da drenagem pluvial nas águas superficiais em áreas urbanas, sendo que é possível notar que muitos dos parâmetros avaliados apresentaram concentrações muito superiores aos limites preconizados na Resolução CONAMA 357/05, para rios de Classe II. Verificou-se, ainda, que a DBO5, a DQO, a turbidez e os sólidos totais foram os melhores parâmetros indicadores de first flush. Com os resultados de carga obtidos foi possível perceber que os eventos chuvosos são grandes contribuidores para a concentração de poluentes nos corpos hídricos, uma vez que são transportadas elevadas cargas de sólidos e DQO. Dessa forma, os resultados encontrados apresentam que o escoamento superficial pode transportar elevadas concentrações de poluentes para o Córrego Botafogo e este pode vir a sofrer assoreamento e eutrofização. Assim, demonstra-se a extrema necessidade de estudar as cargas difusas nos corpos hídricos, especialmente em áreas urbanas e avaliar as medidas que possam ser realizadas na bacia como ações preventivas, adoção de alternativas para o controle e tratamento dessa poluição, bem como mitigação dos impactos causados por ações antrópicas.

The present paper critically examines the epistemic status of first-person accounts and first-person methods in Francisco Varela’s research program neurophenomenology, which integrates a phenomenological perspective in cognitive science. The paper also questions Varela’s description of neurophenomenology as an ontological recategorization of nature and a solution to the hard problem of consciousness.
