The crucial role of representation in mathematical and statistical modeling and problem solving as evident in learners' arrangement and representation of statistical data were investigated with focus points data arrangement, data representation and statistical thinking levels. The representation tasks required learners to arrange and represent data through modeling, focusing on spontaneous representations. Successful transnumeration determine the ultimate success of a representation and the ability to organise data is regarded as critical. Arrangement types increased in sophistication with increased grade level and the hierarchical nature of arrangement types became apparent when regarded in the context of an adapted SOLO Taxonomy framework. A higher level arrangement strategy pointed to a higher SOLO level of statistical thinking. Learners in the two tasks produced a rich variety of representations which included idiosyncratic, unsophisticated responses as well as standard statistical representations. The context of the two tasks, the quantitative versus qualitative nature of the data in the tasks, and the statistical tools or representational skills learners have at their disposal, played an important role in their representations. Well-planned data handling activities develop representational and higher order thinking skills. The variety of responses and different response levels elicited in the two tasks indicate that the nature of the tasks rather than the size of the data set play a conclusive role in data tasks. Multiple representations by an individual were an indication of successful modeling, are effective in problem solving and are associated with good performance. The SOLO model which incorporates a structural approach as well as a multimodal component proved valuable in the analysis of responses. Using this model with accompanying acknowledgement of different problem solving paths and the contribution of ikonic support in the concrete symbolic mode, promote the in-depth analysis of responses. This study contributes to the research in the field of data representation and statistical thinking. The analysis and results led to an integrated picture of Grade 4-7 learners' representation of statistical data and of the statistical thinking levels evident in their representations. / Educational Studies / D.

This thesis surveys all the found British settings of A. E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad (1896) but concentrates on the period after 1940, which, the author believes, has not previously received critical attention. A new study is timely especially because of a renewed interest among composers in the poet's highly influential lyric collection. The author found about 110 British composers with about 340 settings of individual poems not listed in previous Shropshire Lad catalogues. This number adds more than fifty per cent to the known repertoire. The search was not restricted to art song; it found, in addition, multi-voice settings, settings in popular styles and non-vocal music. Largely because of the work of broadly trained musicians, there is now a much wider range of medium, style and compositional technique applied to A Shropshire Lad. There are also new ways in which words and music relate. Different catalogues in the thesis list settings according to period, genre, poem and composer. The author hopes to broaden the British canon of Shropshire Lad music, which, despite recent commissions and competitions, is still mostly limited to the major composers of the English musical renaissance (the early decades of the twentieth century). Accordingly, the catalogues let performers know how to obtain the settings. In preliminary chapters, the thesis attempts a literary examination of A Shropshire Lad and reviews the already-researched pre-Second World War settings. It then divides the post-1940 period into two parts–a Decline (to c.1980) and a Renewal (since c.1980)–and surveys them. The compositions of this period are placed in three tonal-stylistic streams of development: a mainstream tonal with ultraconservative and atonal tributaries. Then follow detailed literary-musical analyses of post-1940 songs, song cycles, collaborative sets, and multi-voice settings. A final summary draws together the conclusions of the individual chapters, summarizes and evaluates the achievement of the post-1940 composers, and suggests how further research might be carried out. / Art History, Visucal Arts and Music / D.

Busoni's contribution to the art of the piano transcription is formidable. His chorale prelude transcriptions make him responsible for giving over to the piano repertoire a small portion of sacred literature. His special admiration of J. S. Bach, evidenced throughout his life, make Busoni's transcriptional practices all the more significant. Bach himself was a prolific transcriber of his own works and the works of others. This paper presents a brief history of keyboard transcriptional practices, emphasizing Busoni's methods by comparing the original works for organ with the transcriptions for piano. Four chorale preludes form the basis for this study: Ich ruf' zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ (BWV 639), Komm, Gott, Schopfer, Heiliger Geist (BWV 667), Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland (BWV 659), and In dir ist Freude (BWV 615).

The objective was to evaluate the agronomic performance, yield components and yield of two maize cultivars for different types of fertilization and row spacing an irrigated cropping system. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm Rafael Fernandes, in Mossoro, RN, adopting a randomized complete block design in a factorial 3 x 2 x 2, with four replications. Treatments consisted of three fertilizer (AO - Organic fertilization; AOM - fertilization and organic-AM - Mineral fertilization), two corn cultivars (Bras 3010 and Potiguar) and two row spacings (80 cm and 50 cm). We evaluated the emergency speed index, initial and final plant population, spikes insertion height, stem diameter, number of kernel rows per ear, number of grains per ear, ear yield with and without straw, spike diameter, spike length, grain weight per ear and yield. The organic-fertilizer (AOM) showed no significant differences in relation to mineral fertilization (M) in the parameters of agronomic performance of maize cultivars increased, except for stem diameter. The agronomic aspects of corn cultivars were evaluated using the incremented spacing of 80 cm between rows, except the initial and final population of plants. The highest yield was obtained with the use of organic fertilizer in cultivar Potiguar, spaced at, 80 cm between rows. The final population, yield and thousand grain weight were the components that most influenced the evaluation of all the data. Each corn cultivar evaluated responded differently to fertilization and evaluated spacings. The agreement between the results of cluster analysis and principal component analysis with the analysis of variance shows the appropriateness of multivariate statistical techniques used in this study. The combined use of multivariate techniques allowed to infer more safely about groups formed between treatments and their characteristics / O potencial produtivo da cultura do milho pode ser explorado pela implementação criteriosa de aspectos técnicos, como a escolha da cultivar que melhor se adapta às condições de cultivo, espaçamento utilizado e o manejo adequado. Objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho agronômico, os componentes de produção e a produtividade de duas cultivares de milho em função dos tipos de adubações e espaçamentos entre linhas, em sistema de cultivo irrigado. O experimento foi realizado na Fazenda Experimental Rafael Fernandes, em Mossoró, RN, adotando-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados, no esquema fatorial 3 x 2 x 2, com quatro repetições, sendo os tratamentos constituídos por três adubações (AO - Adubação Orgânica; AOM - Adubação Organomineral e AM - Adubação Mineral), duas cultivares de milho (Bras 3010 e Potiguar) e dois espaçamentos entre linhas (80 cm e 50 cm). Foram avaliados o índice de velocidade de emergência, população inicial e final de plantas, altura de inserção de espigas, diâmetro do colmo, número de fileiras de grãos por espiga, número de grãos por espiga, massa de espiga com e sem palhas, diâmetro, comprimento e massa de grãos por espiga e produtividade. A adubação organomineral (AOM) não apresentou diferenças significativas em relação à adubação mineral (M) nos parâmetros desempenho agronômico das cultivares de milho avaliadas, com exceção do diâmetro do colmo. Os aspectos agronômicos das cultivares de milho avaliadas foram incrementados com a utilização do espaçamento de 80 cm entre linhas, com exceção da população inicial e final de plantas. A maior produtividade foi encontrada com a utilização da adubação orgânica, para a cultivar Potiguar, no espaçamento de 80 cm entre linhas. A população final, a produtividade e a massa de mil grãos foram os componentes que mais influenciaram na avaliação do conjunto dos dados. Cada cultivar de milho avaliada respondeu de maneira diferenciada às adubações e espaçamentos avaliados. A concordância entre os resultados da análise de agrupamentos e da análise de componentes principais com a análise de variância evidencia a adequação das técnicas estatísticas multivariadas utilizadas nesta pesquisa. O uso combinado das técnicas multivariadas possibilitou inferir com maior segurança nos agrupamentos formados entre os tratamentos e em suas características

It is reasonable to assume that agricultural producers, typical individual firms and / or families of the field, due to natural deficiency of locational resources (financial, human and physical) has more difficulty to generate innovation, mainly through investments in Research and Development. These, usually, have strategies and similar skills with little hability in to generate innovation. It is this sense of vulnerability that this paper studies the dynamics of agricultural arrangements of Alagoas, located in the mesoregion of Sertão of Alagoas. For this, is used multivariate statistics how Multidimensional Scaling and Discriminant Analysis. It was concluded by two fundamental points. The first is the relative weakness of the institutional apparatus of PAPL, and the second is equal importance of tacit and codified knowledge for the dynamics of the arrangement. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / É razoável supor que os produtores agropecuários, típicas empresas individuais e/ou familiares do campo, devido à natural deficiência locacional de recursos (financeiros, humanos e físicos) tem maior dificuldade de gerar inovação, principalmente, através de investimentos em Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento. Estes geralmente possuem estratégias e aptidões similares, com pouca habilidade em gerar inovação. É nesse sentido de vulnerabilidade que o presente trabalho se propõe a estudar a dinâmica dos arranjos agropecuários de Alagoas, localizados na Mesorregião do Sertão Alagoano. Para isto, é utilizada estatísticas multivariadas como Escalonamento Multidimensional e a Análise Discriminante. Pôde-se concluir por dois pontos fundamentais. O primeiro é a relativa fragilidade do aparato institucional do PAPL e, a igualdade de importância dos conhecimentos tácito e codificado para a dinâmica do arranjo.
