The plant has a better development in dry climates. The culture of use as food is very broad in some African countries and with widespread expansion in Latin and Asian countries because of its rich nutritional value. In this work were realized the determination of macro and micronutrients of the internal and external wall of the bark, and seeds of two Moringa trees of the same species, but of different localities, existents in the UFRN and EAJ to determine the contents of moisture, ash, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber and metals. Make a comparison between these and, if possible, compare with other analyzes made with the plant from other locations. The two samples were divided into three parts each: internal and external wall of the shell, and seeds, where they were sprayed and kept in polyethylene containers. After preparation of the samples, were carry out moisture and ash determinations, lipid extraction by Soxhlet, Proteins, by the Kjeldahl method. Fibers, with the equipment to determine fibers. Some metals (Ca, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, K Se, Si, Na e Zn) by ICP-OES, in addition to making FTIR-ATR and TG/DSC. The results obtained showed an optimum lipid content in the seeds (29,26 - 35.83 %), while in the inner and outer wall of the shells, the contents were low compared to seeds (0,4 ? 1,2 %). Protein contents had a high value in the seeds (30,46 and 34,57%), while the internal and external walls of the peels had a much lower content (3,54 ? 6,53%). The fiber contents of the seeds (64,19 ? 70,76%), of the internal and external wall (72,18 ? 85,59%). Carbohidrate contents had a high value in the internal and external part of the bark (70,89 ? 82,72%), while in the seeds the contents were low (19,41 ? 29,09%). The metals found in the seeds of the two samples were Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, K, Na and Zn and the metals found on the inside and outside of the bark were Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, K, Na, Si and Zn. The mean of the results of the analyzes was submitted to the paired Student t test, with 95% significance to know if there was a significant difference or not. The results found are important for comparisons with future research for camparisons with future research, of trees of the same species from other localities and different environments, and also to elaborate a nutritional table of seeds and moringa shells for future use.

As global mental health initiatives continue, the need for culturally responsive approaches to research and mental health inquiry and intervention as increasingly important. However, most counseling programs and research preparation do not include indigenous approaches to address training and clinical practice. Liming and Ole Talk has emerged as a culturally responsive methodological approach with some Caribbean populations, however, at the time of this study, it had not been used with people from the Bahamas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to continue to explore Liming and Ole Talk as a pathway to inquiry with Caribbean people leading to the research question; how do Bahamian immigrants experience liming and ole talk as a approach to mental health inquiry? For this study, 5 Bahamians signed up to lime, 4 came on the day of and 1 limer returned to process after. Utilizing a storytelling and reflective approach to analysis 5 connection points emerged: Stigma, Immigration as enlightenment, Spirituality as cause and intervention, Helplessness, and Hopefulness. The findings of the study are relevant for counselor education programs, clinical practice, and research methodological training.

Based on Fiorentini e Lorenzato (2006), the research is characterized as a qualitative metaanalysis, one of types of bibliographical research, with documental character, having been based also on a meta-analysis of Maranhão (2010), because it has the same purpose: to broaden or deepen the theoretical aspects of research selected. Assumptions of the movement of Critical Mathematics Education were used, lenses with which dissertations selected were analyzed. The procedures involved in the research were: the formation of the corpus of documents (BIOTTO, 2008; BORGES, 2009; LIPP, 2009); the organization of the material, selecting units for interpretive analyzes that could provide answers to the research questions; and the evidence of contrasts and relevant standards, between researches investigated, organized by theoretical topics of theoretical reference privileged. The results indicated concerns with the following theoretical aspects of Critical Mathematics Education that emerged from the analysis of the three studies meta-analyzed: Matemacia, Exercises, Scenarios for Investigation and Model of Cooperative Investigation. Also showed that, even being contemplated these things, they did not emphasize the development of strategies that exhibit the necessary treatment to arithmetic's affairs (and other mathematical domains) emerging in investigative scenarios proposed, of intervention in reality, and this occurred, even when the stated focus of learning arithmetic topics. The rich and rigorous treatment of Mathematics is fundamental to the exercise of citizenship and for intervention in reality, because the larger its domain, the better the planning and decision making in these projects. In summary, if the scenarios have to be rich to the exercise of citizenship, it must be borne rigor in the treatment of mathematical subjects emerging from them / Este estudo tem por objetivo investigar que aspectos da Educação Matemática Crítica de Ole Skovsmose têm sido privilegiados por pesquisas brasileiras do período de 2007 a 2010 que tratam de aritmética dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Com base em Fiorentini e Lorenzato (2006), a presente investigação caracteriza-se como uma meta-análise, uma das modalidades da pesquisa bibliográfica, de caráter documental, tendo sido baseada, também, em um estudo meta-analítico qualitativo de Maranhão (2010), por ter a mesma finalidade deste trabalho: ampliar ou aprofundar aspectos teóricos das investigações selecionadas. Foram utilizados os pressupostos da Educação Matemática Crítica, em particular na perspectiva de Ole Skovsmose, lentes com as quais foram analisadas as dissertações selecionadas. Os procedimentos da pesquisa implicaram: a constituição do corpus documental (BIOTTO, 2008; BORGES, 2009; LIPP, 2009); a organização do material, selecionando unidades para análises interpretativas que propiciassem respostas aos questionamentos da pesquisa; e a evidência de contrastes e padrões relevantes, entre as pesquisas investigadas, organizados por tópicos teóricos da referência teórica privilegiada. Os resultados indicaram preocupações com os seguintes aspectos teóricos da Educação Matemática Crítica que emergiram da análise das três pesquisas meta-analisadas: Matemacia, Exercício, Cenários para Investigação e Modelo de Cooperação Investigativa. Mostraram, ainda, que, mesmo contemplando esses aspectos, elas não explicitaram o desenvolvimento de estratégias que exibissem o necessário tratamento dos assuntos aritméticos (e de outros domínios matemáticos) emergentes nos cenários investigativos propostos, de intervenção na realidade, e isso ocorreu, mesmo quando afirmaram focalizar a aprendizagem de tópicos aritméticos. O tratamento rico e rigoroso da Matemática é fundamental para o exercício da cidadania e para a intervenção na realidade, pois, quanto maior o seu domínio, melhores serão os planejamentos e as tomadas de decisão nesses projetos. Em síntese, se os cenários têm de ser ricos para o exercício da cidadania, há de se ter rigor no tratamento dos assuntos matemáticos que deles emergem

The aim of the thesis is to find a method, in conjunction with the ordinary differential equation (ODE) based method of lines (MOL) solution of Richards’ equation, to model the steep wetting front infiltration in very dry soils, accurately and efficiently. Due to the steep pressure head or steep water volumetric content gradients, highly nonlinear soil hydraulic properties and the rapid movement of the wetting front, accurate solutions for infiltration into a dry soil are usually difficult to obtain. Additionally, such problems often require very small time steps and large computation times. As an enhancement to the used ODE/MOL approach, Higher Order Finite Differencing, Varying Order Finite Differencing, Vertical Scaling, Adaptive Schemes and Non-uniform Stretching Techniques have been implemented and tested in this thesis. Success has been found in the ability of Vertical Scaling to simulate very steep moving front solution for the Burgers’ equation. Unfortunately, the results also show that Vertical Scaling needs significant research and improvement before their full potential in routine applications for difficult nonlinear problems, such as Richard’s equation with very steep moving front solution, can be realized. However, we have also shown that the use of the composed form of RE and a 2nd order finite differencing for the first order derivative approximation is conducive for modelling steep moving front problem in a very dry soil. Additionally, with the combination of an optimal influx value at the edges of the inlet, the ODE/MOL approach is able to model a 2-D infiltration in very dry soils, effectively and accurately. Furthermore, one of the strengths of this thesis is the use of a MATLAB PDE template. Implementing the ODE/MOL approach via a MATLAB PDE template has shown to be most suitable for modelling of partial differential equations. The plug and play mode of modifying the PDE template for solving time-dependent partial differential equations is user-friendly and easy, as compared to more conventional approaches using Pascal, Fortran, C or C++. The template offers greater modularity, flexibility, versatility, and efficiency for solving PDE problems in both 1-D and 2-D spatial dimensions. Moreover, the 2-D PDE template has been extended for irregular shaped domains.

We used 20 females Morada Nova breed, with 20kg of live weight, distributed in a completely randomized design and maintained in metabolism cages. There was a negative linear effect of age of cutting on DM intake, with an estimated maximum consumption of 0.67 kg / day for the hay produced at 28 days of cutting. It was also observed linear behavior, with an estimated maximum consumption 172g/dia, 0.36 kg / day; 18g/dia, at 35, 42 and 49 days old, for CP, OM and EE, respectively. For NDF, quadratic effect was found with advancing maturity of the plant. The apparent digestibility of DM, CP, OM and TC linearly decreased with advancing age of cutting hay Moringa oleifera. It was concluded that the hay Moringa oleifera showed better nutritional value after 28 days of cutting / O presente trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o consumo e as digestibilidades aparentes de mat?ria seca (MS), mat?ria org?nica (MO), prote?na bruta (PB), extrato et?reo (EE), carboidratos totais (CHOT), carboidratos n?o fibrosos (CNF) e fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) em ovinos alimentados com feno de moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam) obtido com quatro idades de corte (28, 35, 42 e 49 dias). Foram utilizadas 20 f?meas da ra?a Morada Nova, com 20 kg de peso vivo m?dio, distribu?das em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado e mantidas em gaiolas de metabolismo. Observouse efeito linear decrescente da idade de rebrota sobre o consumo de MS, estimando-se consumo m?ximo de 0,67 kg/dia para o feno elaborado aos 28 dias de corte. Tamb?m foi observada resposta linear decrescente, estimando-se consumos m?ximos de 172 g/dia; 0,36 kg/dia; 18 g/dia, aos 35; 42 e 49 dias de idade, para PB, MO e EE, respectivamente. Para FDN, encontrou-se efeito quadr?tico com o avan?o da maturidade da planta. As digestibilidades aparentes de MS, PB, MO e CHOT diminu?ram linearmente com o avan?o da idade de corte do feno de Moringa ole?fera. Concluiu-se que o feno de Moringa ole?fera apresentou melhor valor nutritivo aos 28 dias de corte
