This oil was characterized to determine the physical-chemistry properties. It was also characterized the used oil with the aim of determining and quantifying the heavy metal concentration. Fe and Cu were the metals existent in large concentration and these metals were choused to be studied in solubilization process. For the biosorption process was used the seaweed Sargassum sp for the study of influencing of the metals presents separately and with other metals. It was also studied the effect of the protonation treatment of alga with the objective to know the best efficiency of heavy metals removal. The study of the solubilization showed that the presence of more than a metal favors the solubilization of the metals presents in the oil and consequently, it favors the biosorption process, what becomes interesting the perspective application in the heavy metals removal in lubricating oils used, because the presence of more than a heavy metal favors the solubility of all metals present. It was observed that the iron and copper metals, which are present in large concentration, the protonated biosorbtent was more effective. In this study we used as biomass the marine alga Sargassum sp to study the influence of agitation velocity, temperature and initial biomass concentration on the removal of iron and copper from used lubricant oils. We performed an experimental design and a kinetic study. The experiments were carried out with samples of used lubricant oil and predetermined amounts of algae, allowing sufficient time for the mixture to obtain equilibrium under controlled conditions. The results showed that, under the conditions studied, the larger the amount of biomass present, the lower the adsorption capacity of the iron and of the copper, likely due to a decrease in interface contact area. The experimental design led us to conclude that a function can be obtained that shows the degree of influence of each one of the system variables / No presente trabalho escolheu-se o ?leo lubrificante automotivo usado de uma frota de ?nibus da cidade de Natal-RN-Brasil. Este ?leo foi caracterizado, indicando que os metais contidos em maior concentra??o s?o Ferro (Fe) e Cobre (Cu). Para o processo de biossor??o utilizou-se a alga marinha feof?cea Sargassum sp para se estudar a influ?ncia da presen?a de metal isoladamente e com outros metais. Estudou-se ainda o efeito do tratamento deprotona??o na alga visando a efici?ncia de remo??o de metais pesados. O estudo da solubiliza??o mostrou-se interessante para a aplica??o na remo??o de metais pesados em ?leos lubrificantes usados, j? que a presen?a de mais de um metal pesado favorece a solubilidade de todos os metais presentes. Observou-se que, para os metais Fe e Cu, que est?o presentes no ?leo em maiores concentra??es, a utiliza??o do biossorvente protonado foi mais eficiente. Para estudar a influ?ncia da velocidade de agita??o, da temperatura, da quantidade de biomassa e da concentra??o inicial de biomassa na remo??o de Fe e Cu presentes em ?leos lubrificantes usados utilizou-se a alga marinha Sargassum sp. protonada. Foi realizado um planejamento experimental e um estudo cin?tico. A partir dos resultados obtidos observou-se que nas condi??es estudadas, ? medida que a quantidade de biomassa aumenta, ? menor a capacidade de adsor??o do Fe e do Cu. Do planejamento experimental p?de-se concluir que ? poss?vel obter uma fun??o que mostre o n?vel de influ?ncia de cada uma das vari?veis do sistema. Sendo que para o Fe a vari?vel mais relevante foi a quantidade de biomassa e para o Cu foi a temperatura

Nos últimos anos tem crescido o número de estudos que tomam a história do livro e das edições didáticas como objeto de investigação. O campo da história da educação tem sido especialmente fértil para o desenvolvimento dessa produção, uma vez que novos interesses e interrogações passaram a orientar o trabalho dos pesquisadores em relação a esse gênero de livro. É no interior desse contexto de produção que este trabalho se inscreve. Para o seu desenvolvimento priorizou-se o modelo de análise proposto por Robert Darnton (1990), ao examinar o circuito de comunicação percorrido pelos livros nas diferentes fases que marcam sua existência: produção, difusão e consumo. Operando com um conjunto diversificado de fontes, o trabalho evidenciou algumas facetas do circuito do livro escolar no Amazonas, colocando em cena aspectos até então pouco conhecidos, tais como: os sujeitos, as práticas e os dispositivos que estiveram envolvidos na dinâmica de funcionamento deste circuito / Abstract: This thesis deals about the history of textbooks taking as the object of analysis the functioning of the circuit that was organized around them on the second half of the 19th Century and the first decade of the 20th Century in the Amazonian school context. The number of studies that takes book history and didactic editions as objects of research has been increasing in Brazil. It is in the interior of that production context that this work is inserted. For the development our research, we have used Robert Darnton¿s model of analysis in regard to the communication circuit made by the books in the different phases of their existence: production, diffusion and consumption. Working with different sources, the thesis showed some faces of textbook circuit in the State of Amazonas zeroing on some aspects not very well known, such as: the subjects, the practices and devices that were involved in the dynamics of textbook circuit / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutor em Educação

This present search seek to understand the urban dynamics in the city of União dos Palmares - State of Alagoas, in the current period of Globalization, from the activities of lower circuit of the urban economy, especially the use about territory, synonymous with geographical space, by the agents of the small businesses that animate the popular economy of the city. Therefore, based on the theory of the two urban economy circuits in the underdeveloped countries, proposed by Milton Santos (2008c), an important theoretical and methodological way to understand urbanization, we selected the main plots of the built environment that the population uses to work. The city chosen here as a geographical situation (SILVEIRA, 1999) it has its genesis linked to the regional urbanization context, driven by the expulsion of workers from their lands, as well as by the floods that affected the Mundaú river basin in the last hundred years. With the implementation of several services over the last decades, including the public sector, the city has emerged like an important urban center in the mountainous region of Quilombos, but it was mainly from the 1970s that the expansion of large peripheral districts through invasions, donations by public authorities, by sales and by the housing reconstruction programs for the homeless. In this context is conformed in União dos Palmares city, a poor population, which seeks to survive in various ways in the central and peripheral areas. In order to understand the manifestation of urban poverty, we investigated the behavior of the lower central and residential circuit in the largest neighborhoods of the city: Center, Roberto Correia de Araújo, Nova Esperança housing and Newton Pereira Gonçalves housing. Thus, understanding these economic activities reveals how urban poverty manifests itself in places and demonstrates, especially, the political-institutional need that should be active from people to the economy, not the other way around. / A presente pesquisa busca compreender a dinâmica urbana de União dos Palmares – AL no período atual da Globalização a partir das atividades do circuito inferior da economia urbana, sobretudo o uso do território, sinônimo de espaço geográfico, pelos agentes dos pequenos negócios que animam a economia popular da cidade. Para tanto, com base na teoria dos dois circuitos da economia urbana nos países subdesenvolvidos, proposta por Milton Santos (2008c), importante caminho teórico e metodológico para se entender a urbanização, selecionamos as principais parcelas do meio ambiente construído que a população utiliza para desenvolver o trabalho. A cidade aqui escolhida como situação geográfica (SILVEIRA, 1999) da pesquisa tem sua gênese ligada ao contexto regional de urbanização, movida pela expulsão de trabalhadores de suas terras, bem como pelas enchentes que acometeram a bacia do Mundaú nos últimos cem anos. Com a implantação de diversos serviços ao longo das últimas décadas, inclusive do setor público, a cidade vem se destacando como um importante centro urbano na região Serrana dos Quilombos, mas foi principalmente a partir da década de 1970 que se iniciou de fato o processo de expansão de grandes bairros periféricos, por meio de invasões, doações por parte do poder público, pela venda e pelos programas de reconstrução de habitações para os desabrigados das enchentes. Nesse contexto é conformada na cidade de União dos Palmares, uma população pobre, que busca sobreviver de diversas formas nas áreas central e periférica. Para compreendermos a manifestação da pobreza urbana, investigamos o comportamento do circuito inferior central e residencial nos maiores bairros da cidade: Centro, Roberto Correia de Araújo, Nova Esperança e Newton Pereira Gonçalves. Destarte, a compreensão dessas atividades econômicas revela como a pobreza urbana se manifesta nos lugares e demonstra, sobretudo, a necessidade de uma ação político-institucional que parta dos sujeitos sociais, de suas demandas para a economia e não o contrário.

High buildings represent the main way for accommodations in big cities for these growing urban populations. However, impact sound insulation has shown itself quite poor. In order to propose an alternative way of minimization to the two problems, residue generation and impact noise, this study aimed to investigate the viability of using poly (ethylene-terephthalate) - PET and rubber tire residues for impact sound insulation in floating floors. Plates of 1 m² with thickness of 1.5 and 2.5 cm to 1:4 and 1:5 (ciment:residue) ratios were molded for the acoustic experiments, as well as portable mortar slabs covered with high and popular quality floor coverings. The main methods used were ISO 140-7 (1998) for measuring the standardized impact sound pressure level, L nT, in one-third-octave bands and ISO 717-2 (1996) to calculate the weighted standardized impact sound pressure level, L nT,w. Both residues presented high sound insulation in relation to their references. It was observed that the results for the PET specimen were superior to those of the rubber tires residue. However, the results among the residues presented different tendencies as their ratio changed. While the impact sound insulation of the rubber tires samples decreased with the increase of residue, PET samples presented more insulation with residue increase. Another observed factor was that the high quality floor covering presented a significant superior impact sound isolation compared to the popular floor covering. Considering all results, it is possible to conclude that the use of the studied residues in floating floors contributes to impact sound insulation / O crescimento demográfico mundial tem criado um aumento na geração de resíduos sólidos urbanos e deteriorado a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos. As edificações altas se apresentam como a principal forma de acomodação da crescente população nas cidades, no entanto, o conforto sonoro em relação ao ruído de impacto tem se mostrado precário. Com o intuito de propor uma alternativa de minimizar ambos os problemas, a geração de resíduos e o ruído de impacto, a presente pesquisa teve como principal objetivo estudar a viabilidade de uso dos resíduos de poli (tereftalato de etileno) - PET e do pneu inservível na confecção de pisos flutuantes no isolamento do ruído de impacto. Placas de 1 m² com traço 1:4 e 1:5 (cimento:resíduo) nas espessuras de 1,5 e 2,5 cm foram moldadas para realizar os ensaios acústicos, assim como placas de argamassa armada revestida com cerâmica popular e de alto padrão. As principais metodologias utilizadas foram a ISO 140-7 (1998) para obter o nível de pressão sonora de impacto padronizada por bandas de terças de oitavas, L nT, e a ISO 717-2 para ponderar o valor único do nível de pressão sonora de impacto padronizado e ponderado, L nT,w. Ambos resíduos apresentaram isolamento superior em relação às respectivas referências. Observou-se que o isolamento do ruído de impacto das amostras com PET foi superior às com pneu. No entanto, os resultados entre os resíduos apresentaram tendências diferentes com a mudança do traço. Enquanto que o isolamento das amostras do pneu decaiu com o acréscimo do resíduo, as amostras com PET tiveram um ganho maior com o aumento do resíduo. Outro fator observado foi que o contrapiso com cerâmica de alto padrão apresentou um efeito significativo do isolamento em relação à cerâmica popular. Em vista de todos os resultados pode se concluir que é viável a utilização dos resíduos estudados na confecção de pisos flutuantes para o isolamento do ruído de impacto

Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a fome numa perspectiva geográfica. A importância do tema se deve ao fato de que a alimentação é fundamental para a manutenção da vida; portanto, essencial à existência. Assim, inferimos a fome como um processo constituído ao longo da nossa história, no caso específico do Brasil, o reflexo vigente de uma formação desigual. Refletir sobre a formação territorial de nosso país, ajuda-nos a apreender a formação sócioespacial brasileira. Essa discussão nos auxilia também a entender como a fome se revela no território usado brasileiro. A Geografia exibe os usos desiguais do território, com a extensão do meio técnico-científico-informacional que chega para alguns e continua a excluir muitos. Acontecimento este que amplia a perversidade decorrente, nesta contemporaneidade, do alijamento da maioria da população do meio referido anteriormente. Discutir a fome geograficamente é discutir também o uso do território não apenas pela produção, mas pelas possibilidades que todos devem ter de produzir alimentos, inclusive discutir a sua distribuição para aqueles que ainda passam fome. O território usado, portanto, se transforma numa poderosa categoria de análise social, importante argumento para a apreensão da fome como processo político, e não como fenômeno. / This paper aims to discuss hunger in a geographical perspective. The topic is important due to the fact that food is essential for the maintenance of life, so, essential to existence. Thus, we infer the hunger as a process consisting throughout our history, in the specific case of Brazil, the reflection effect of unequal formation. Reflecting on the territorial formation of our country, helps us to grasp the Brazilian socio-spatial formation. This discussion also helps us to understand how hunger is revealed in Brazilian territory. Geography displays the unequal uses of the territory, with the extension of the technicalscientific- informational arriving for some and continuing to exclude many. This event extends the resulting perversity, this contemporary, the jettisoning of the majority of the middle mentioned above. To discuss hunger geographically also means to discuss the use of the territory not only for production, but the possibilities that everyone should have to produce food, including discussing their distribution to those who are still hungry. Therefore, the territory which is used becomes a powerful category of social analysis, an important argument for the seizure of hunger as a political process, and not as a phenomenon.

The rapid increase in clothing consumption over the last decades has meant a significant burden on the environment. Some examples of this are the high consumption of natural resources and land, increasing amounts of carbon emissions, excessive use of toxic chemicals, polluting air, land and water and increasing amounts of waste. The average clothing consumption in Europe is far higher than the world average, especially in Nordic countries including Sweden. Adopting and encouraging more circular economies is a part of the European commission‘s strategy to achieve sustainable consumption of resources and protection for environment. The purpose of this Research is to study the possibilities of improving the practice of second hand clothes consumption in Sweden and make it more effective towards the goal of sustainable consumption and circular economies. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to understand the challenges and find abilities for improvement in the value chain of used clothes in Sweden, with focus on the reverse logistics system of used clothes (collection and sorting processes) as well as the market of second hand clothes. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the conceptual framework has been formulated upon studying relevant literature and results of previous studies. Value chains of three charity organizations have been studied and empirical data have been collected through semi-structured interviews with participants from these three organizations. The empirical findings have been interpreted in relation to the conceptual framework and the results of previous studies, in order to answer the research questions. The results of the study showed potential for improvement and development in the reverse logistics system (collections and sorting processes) of used clothes, as well as in the Swedish market of second hand clothes. However, benefiting of this potential requires collaboration between all stakeholders in the value chain of used clothes, including individuals (either in a position of donors or consumers), interested businesses (nonprofit or commercial organizations), government, municipalities, politicians and finally the private sector in clothing industry.

Master of Science / Department of Family Studies and Human Services / Anthony Jurich / Play is essential to child development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and youth. The integration of play and play therapy techniques with child and family therapy offers a creative, age appropriate way to provide mental health treatment. This report offers an overview of play therapy, the therapeutic value of play, the historical background, theory, techniques, materials, and settings. Further, it provides the reader with many therapeutic modalities in which to implement play in family therapy. Because play therapy is a specialized field, this report also provides the reader with information on how to use this to create a marketing niche. This report was written with the Masters’ or Doctoral student in mind, as well as practicing therapists; with hopes to provide them a creative avenue in which to enhance their current therapeutic modalities.

I stora nätverksmiljöer kan det idag vara svårt att få en komplett sammanställning av hur många switch-portar som är i bruk. Den lösning som vanligtvis används är manuell inloggning till aktuell switch för kontroll, ett moment med tidsåtgång och som ofta utförs vid enstaka tillfällen. Information riskerar därför att upptäckas för sent med en åtgärd som blir reaktiv. Metoder för att tillgängliggöra informationen på ett sådant sätt att den till stor del kan bli proaktiv kan istället möjliggöra åtgärder i tid men även tillhandahålla aktuell information mer lättillgängligt och i slutändan spara både tid och utgifter för ett företag. Arbetet inriktar sig på framtagandet av en lösning med specifika krav med en inriktning för att förenkla nuvarande moment; att på ett enkelt sätt kunna ta del av dagsaktuell information om status för switch-portar, att kunna få en övergripande bild av fördelningen av switch-portar för en anläggning och möjlighet för notifiering vid gränsöverskridelser. Inledande görs en undersökning av aktuella lösningar som finns att tillgå inom området idag, där flera visar sig ha brister men även saknar nödvändiga funktioner. Då de lösningar som finns tillgängliga idag inte stämmer överens med kraven finns en motivering till framtagandet av en lösning med egna funktioner. Den lösning som tas fram utvecklas med separata funktioner för att inhämta information, tolka, presentera och notifiera information för administratör. För att garantera en stabil lösning med kontinuerlig drift installerades en server i en extern datahall där en linuxdistribution användes. Två olika protokoll för inhämtning av information jämförs med praktiska tester, inloggning via SSH, samt SNMP-poll, där den valda lösningen bygger på SSH som metod på grund av säkerhetsaspekter, men där SNMP visar mer kompatibilitet mellan tillverkare och modeller av hårdvara. Vidare beskrivs tillvägagångssätt hos de funktioner som utvecklats för tolkning av inhämtad information samt de svårigheter som uppstått i samband med detta, för undvikandet av feltolkningar. Olika alternativ för presentation av information till administratör jämförs, där den valda lösningen blev åtkomst via webbsida, detta på grund av det grundläggande stöd oberoende av plattform. Något som exempelvis en applikation inte kan ge i samma omfattning. Bland de olika notifieringsmetoder som undersöktes föll valet även i detta fall på en plattformsoberoende metod, där notifiering via e-post ansågs både enkel att implementera och med ett brett stöd hos klienter. Varningar vid förangivna kriterier av antal lediga switch-portar kunde därmed tas emot av administratör. Samtliga funktioner fungerade vid utförandet som planerat och lösningen används av kunden. Det finns några förslag på förbättringsåtgärder där SNMP istället med fördel kan användas med bredare stöd hos andra tillverkare och modeller, samt även skyddsfunktioner vid tolkning av information. / In large network environments today, it can be difficult to get a complete summary of how many switchports are in use. The solution that is usually used is manual login to the current switch for control, a step with time consumption and which is often performed on occasion. Information therefore risks being discovered too late with a measure that becomes reactive. Methods for making the information available in such a way that it can largely become proactive can instead enable timely action but also provide up-to-date information more easily accessible and ultimately save both time and expenses for a company. The work focuses on the development of a solution with specific requirements with a focus on simplifying current steps; to be able to easily access up-to-date information on the status of switchports, to be able to get an overall picture of the distribution of switchports for a facility and the possibility of notification in the event of border crossings. Initially, an investigation is made of current solutions that are available in the area today, where several turn out to have shortcomings but also lack the necessary functions. As the solutions available today do not comply with the requirements, there is a motivation for developing a solution with its own functions. The solution that is put together is developed with separate functions for collecting information, interpreting, presenting and notifying information to the administrator. To ensure a stable solution with continuous operation, a server was installed in an external datacenter where a Linux distribution was used. Two different protocols for obtaining information are compared with practical tests, login via SSH, and SNMP-poll, where the chosen solution is based on SSH as a method due to security reasons, but where SNMP shows more compatibility between manufacturers and models of hardware. Furthermore, the procedures of the functions that have been developed for the interpretation of collected information and the difficulties that have arisen in connection with this, for the avoidance of misinterpretations are described. Different options for presenting information to the administrator are compared, where the chosen solution was accessed via a website, this is due to the basic support regardless of platform. Something that, for example, an application cannot provide to the same extent. Among the various notification methods examined, the choice also fell in this case on a platform-independent method, where notification via e-mail was considered both easy to implement and with broad support among clients. Warnings for the specified criteria of the number of available switchports could thus be received by the administrator. All functions worked during the execution as planned and the solution is used by the customer. There are some suggestions for improvement measures where SNMP can instead be used to advantage with broader support from other manufacturers and models, as well as protection functions when interpreting information.
