O GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) é uma missão em conjunto entre as agências espaciais estadunidenses e alemã, que além de obter medidas precisas das variações temporais do campo de gravidade terrestre, podem ser utilizadas para verificar a redistribuição contínua de massa e sua variação temporal em todo o planeta. A presente dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as variações de armazenamento d’água, obtidas a partir dos dados GRACE na RHANO, para o período de abril de 2002 até dezembro de 2015, intervalo este considerando o início de operação da missão. Além disso, foram efetuadas as seguintes análises: (i) a correlação das observações temporais GRACE com os relatórios da Conjuntura dos Recursos Hídricos elaborados pela Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA), (ii) quantificação da diferença de disponibilidade hídrica em dois momentos de 2015 com relação a equivalentes sazonais de 2002 e (iii) comparação de observações obtidas pela solução chamada de mascons GRACE com informações in situ do comportamento temporal de reservatórios na RHANO. Como resultados encontrados na comparação entre os períodos de novembro de 2002 e dezembro de 2015, foi encontrado perda na disponibilidade hídrica na ordem de ≅19,25 km³ (19246,11 hm³). Destacando a equiparidade entre as variações sazonais, semestrais e anuais de disponibilidade hídrica apontadas pela ANA com os dados processados e mensurados da missão GRACE. Outro resultado encontrado foi a detecção, na RHANO a partir de 2012, de um declínio nos principais reservatórios (≅60%), o que foi confirmado com as observações obtidas pelos mascons na área de estudo. Desta forma, destaca-se a importância da missão GRACE e seus produtos para corroborar com estudos hidrológicos. / The Oriental Northeast Atlantic Hydrographic Region (RHANO), is located in the extreme northeast of Brazil, from Piauí to Alagoas, with around 286.000 km² of area, where approximately 24.1 million people live, covering much of the Brazilian semi-arid region. The GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) is a joint mission between American and German space agencies that in addition to obtain precise measurements of the temporal variations of Earth’s gravity field can be used to check a continuous mass redistribution and it’s temporal variation throughout the planet. The present master thesis aims to analyze the variations of water storage, obtained from GRACE data in RHANO from April 2002 until December 2015, range considering the start of operation of the mission. Moreover, the following analyses were performed: (i) correlation of temporal GRACE observations with the water resources situation reports prepared by the national water agency (ANA), (ii) quantifying the difference of water availability in two moments of 2015 in relation to seasonal equivalents of 2002 and (iii) comparison of observations obtained by solution called mascons GRACE with in situ information of temporal behavior from reservoirs in RHANO. As results of a comparison between November 2002 and December 2015, it was found in the availability of water loss in the order of ≅19,25 km³ (19246,11 hm³). Highlighting the equality between the seasonal variations, semiannual and annual water availability pointed by the ANA with the GRACE mission processed data and measured. Another result found was the discovery, in the RHANO from 2012, of a decline in the main reservoirs (≅60%), which was confirmed with the observations obtained by mascons in the study area. Thus, stands out the importance of the GRACE mission and its products in support of hydrological studies.

S. Lewis' novel The Great Divorce. The first chapter introduces the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva and C. S. Lewis concerning the relation between texts. From that theoretical foundation, the second chapter studies descriptions of the afterlife in the works Lewis borrows from most in The Great Divorce: Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and Valdemar Thisted's Letters From Hell, and observes the way in which Lewis integrates these intertexts into his novel. Finally, in the last two chapters the dissertation examines different characters from The Great Divorce and the way in which they act out different aspects of human nature or divine grace, in order to determine Lewis' position as to the relation between nature and grace and his concept of salvation. / Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo dos temas de natureza e graça no romance O Grande Abismo, de C. S. Lewis. No primeiro capítulo, são introduzidas as teorias de Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva e C. S. Lewis sobre a relação entre textos. Partindo desta base teórica, o segundo capítulo examina as descrições da vida após a morte nas principais obras das quais Lewis toma emprestado, A Divina Comédia, de Dante Alighieri, e Letters From Hell, de Valdemar Thisted, e nota as formas em que Lewis integra estes intertextos ao seu romance. Finalmente, nos últimos dois capítulos a dissertação examina diferentes personagens de O Grande Abismo, e a forma em que eles encarnam diferentes aspectos da natureza humana ou graça divina, para determinar a posição de Lewis quanto à relação entre natureza e graça e sua concepção de salvação.

Intrinsic Spirituality has been linked to lower rates of depression and anxiety and higher positive mental functioning (Pargament, Exline & Jones, 2013). This may be due in part to beliefs which foster values that are important to positive outlook, such as faith, forgiveness, humility, love and community. It is also possible for strongly religious individuals to have maladaptive beliefs that may be problematic for their happiness and adjustment. Understanding how beliefs influence mental health can be helpful to therapists; particularly to those who deal with religious clients who are heavily influenced by their spiritual beliefs. This study looks at the important religious concepts of grace and legalism to identify how they interact with intrinsic spirituality to influence five different positive psychology measures: gratitude, self-esteem, meaning in life, satisfaction with life and optimism. Roughly 560 students from a religious university participated in a self-report survey looking at various spirituality and mental health measurements. Structural Equation Modeling was used to determine if experiencing grace or legalistic beliefs mediated the relationship between spirituality and each of five “life outlook” measures. Moderator analysis was used to identify any interaction effects of grace and legalism on the life outlook variables. Intrinsic spirituality was predictive of belief in grace and negatively predictive of belief in legalism. Belief in grace was also predictive of all five positive mental health measures, and legalism was negatively predictive of gratitude. Interestingly, grace-legalism interaction effects were found for self-esteem, gratitude and satisfaction. Gender differences were significant. Implications for therapy and directions for future research are discussed.

We will attempt to show that Paul's doctrine of justification was not an arbitrary replacement of the Jewish idea of justice but a natural necessity of man's nature and his society.
