Ana Maria Saul. The objective is to analyze the contribution and the influence of Paulo Freire s theory on the Brazilian Public Education System from the nineties until now. In order to achieve the objectives, this work combines a qualitative approach and a case study, incorporating the contributions of an ethnographic work to describe and analyze the ordinary life of a school in the municipality of Diadema-SP, focusing on the developing process of the school curriculum. Besides the observations, which are the natural tools of data collection, this research uses semi-structured interviews and analysis of documents. The data collection, analysis and results are divided into four thematic sections related to Paulo Freire s definitions during his period of management as the Secretary of Education in the Municipality of São Paulo (1989-1991). The themes are: collective construction, respect for the principle of school autonomy, the value of theory-practice unit and the permanent development of educational professionals. During the analysis the three themes were developed. Collective construction presented an improvement relating to the participation and the communication that exists between the various levels and the different players in constructing the curriculum. Autonomy of the school improved its way to develop plans and projects; permanent development of educational professionals allowed for the professors' reflections on their practices. The data showed that the value of the theory-practice unit has many challenges to face. However, the school studied and the municipality of Diadema represent a significant challenge when it comes to defining a public school that combines democracy with quality / Este estudo integra uma pesquisa nacional, sob a responsabilidade da Cátedra Paulo Freire da PUC-SP, sob a coordenação da Dra. Ana Maria Saul, que busca analisar a contribuição e a reinvenção do pensamento freireano nos Sistemas Públicos de Educação, no Brasil, a partir da década de ´90. Para tanto, utilizando a abordagem qualitativa, realiza-se um estudo de caso, adotando as contribuições do trabalho etnográfico, para descrever e analisar o cotidiano de uma unidade escolar no Município de Diadema-SP, focalizando os processos envolvidos na organização do currículo escolar. Além das observações, como instrumentos de coleta de dados, faz uso de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e análise de documentos. A coleta, a análise e a apresentação dos dados estão organizados em quatro eixos temáticos, coincidentes com aqueles definidos na reorientação curricular no período da gestão Paulo Freire na Secretaria de Educação do Município de São Paulo (1989-1991). São eles: a construção coletiva, o respeito ao princípio da autonomia da escola, a valorização da unidade teoriaprática e a formação permanente dos profissionais de ensino. Na análise dos dados percebem-se avanços na construção coletiva no tocante à participação e ao diálogo em vários níveis, envolvendo diferentes sujeitos para a construção do currículo; na autonomia da escola, na medida em que elabora seus planos e projetos; e na formação permanente dos profissionais de ensino, que acontece em várias instâncias e com o objetivo de possibilitar ao professor a reflexão sobre sua prática. Em relação ao eixo da valorização da unidade teoriaprática, os dados mostraram que ainda existem limites que precisam ser superados. No entanto, a escola investigada e o Município de Diadema são um terreno fértil para a superação dos obstáculos existentes, haja vista a concretude dos avanços demonstrados na busca da construção de uma escola pública, popular e democrática, de boa qualidade

Atualmente, o povoado é reconhecido como comunidade quilombola de Santa Rita da Barreira tendo recebido do ITERPA o título coletivo correspondente a uma área de 371 hectares. As territorialidades construídas a partir de práticas sociais fundadas na organização comunitária e a mobilização política em torno de interesses comuns reforçam o sentimento de pertença e a identidade quilombola. Essa organização do grupo se materializa frente às adversidades impostas pela sociedade dominante que lhes invizibilizaram ou construíram concepções “primordialistas” sobre o grupo e seus modos de vida. Após a titulação diversas políticas públicas chegaram á Santa Rita da Barreira através de programas e projetos que tiveram como discurso o “desenvolvimento”, a “inclusão social das comunidades quilombolas”. Instrumentos jurídicos aprovados a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988, a Constituição Estadual do Pará (1998) e do “Programa Brasil Quilombola” dentre outras iniciativas asseguram o direito ao território e a assistência social através da edição de políticas públicas específicas com vistas ao “etnodesenvolvimento”. As diversas intervenções em Santa Rita da Barreira foram feitas sem levar em consideração a trajetória das famílias no território, o conhecimento prático, o modo de vida, as construções simbólicas e as modalidades de uso comum praticadas em terras tradicionalmente ocupadas. Isto implica no surgimento de descompassos em relação às determinações jurídicas e a consciência das necessidades destes agentes sociais que em inúmeras situações (reuniões, encontro com técnicos, pesquisadores) tem sabido expor e defender suas idiossincrasias. Esta pesquisa procurou analisar a importância da etnohistória, territorialidade e práticas de uso comum dos quilombolas de Santa Rita da Barreira e identificar como este enfoque poderá contribuir para refletir programas e projetos de etnodesenvolvimento. A metodologia utilizada foi abalizada pela etnografia, etnohistória, coleta e análise de narrativas, fotografias, preenchimento de questionários, análise de documentação cartorial e bibliográfica, além da elaboração de “mapas participativos”. Os dados foram colididos durante pesquisa de campo realizada em intervalos de junho a novembro de 2010. / The study on the process ethnohistory of family units who organized the settlement known as Old Barrier, located on the left bank of the river Guama, São Miguel do Guama led to explore the universe of social relations marked by strategies of permanence, symbolic constructions and practices collective dominance in territory with a predominance of the common use of natural resources. Currently, the village is recognized as quilombo Santa Rita Barrier having received from the collective title of ITERPA corresponding to an area of 371 hectares. The territoritalities constructed from social practices based on community organizing and political mobilization around common interests reinforce a sense of belonging and identity maroon. This organization of the group materializes face the adversities imposed by the dominant society that built them or invisibilized designs "primarily" on the group and their ways of life. After titration several public policies come to the Santa Rita Barrier through programs and projects that address as the "development", "social inclusion maroon communities." Legal instruments adopted from the 1988 Federal Constitution, the Constitution State of Pará (1998) and "Program Brazil Quilombo" and other initiatives to ensure the right territory and social assistance through the issue of public policies aiming to "ethno-development". The various operations in Santa Rita Barrier were made without taking into account the trajectory of the families in the territory, practical knowledge, the way of life, the symbolic constructions and arrangements for common use practiced in lands traditionally occupied. This implies mismatches in relation to legal decisions and the awareness of social needs of these agents in many situations (meetings, meeting with technicians, researchers) has been able to explain and defend. This study sought to analyze the importance of ethnohistory, territoriality and use practices common maroon Santa Rita Barrier and identify how this approach could help reflect ethno development programs and projects. The methodology was authoritative ethnography, ethnohistory, collection and analysis of narratives, photographs, completion of questionnaires, analysis of notarial documents, "participatory maps and literature. Data were bumped during field research carried out at intervals from June to November 2010.

This thesis examines the use of form and spatial language in confessional fiction by men to elucidate how they conceptualise and negotiate material, corporeal, and psychological boundaries amidst the shifting social and political landscape of the United States since the Second World War. In light of increasingly urgent calls to address gender and racial discrimination in the United States, this study offers timely insight into an identity that, while culturally dominant, often escapes examination: white, heterosexual masculinity. Focusing on the representation of forms and spatial imagery, the chapters explore how five formally experimental novelists-Vladimir Nabokov, Joseph McElroy, Harry Mathews, William H. Gass, and Peter Dimock- employ the confessional genre to illustrate the way men perceive themselves as spatially and temporally circumscribed, and to look at the way they reinforce or transgress the boundaries of masculine identity. The post-war period in the United States witnessed a proliferation of confessional writing that coincided with the popularisation of Freudian psychoanalysis, the cold war rhetoric of suspicion, and the rise of second-wave feminism. As a result, the concept of the self increasingly becomes a repository for fantasies of potential discovery and hidden danger that rely, significantly, on metaphors of surface and depth. It is within, and often against, this cultural preoccupation with the self that these writers address, both directly and indirectly, the status of white masculinity. Drawing on innovative theories of forms and spatiality, this study examines the diverse language and imagery men use to describe their sense of selfhood as well as the bonds they form with others. The works considered in this study demonstrate a common preoccupation with the boundaries that separate interior from exterior and private from public. In response to pressures both intimate and impersonal, the narrators of the texts discussed in this thesis turn to confessional practices of written self-examination to locate themselves within networks of fluctuating relations and obligations. The question that this thesis seeks to resolve is whether the forms and spatial language the narrators employ enable or obstruct their efforts to negotiate the competing demands of ethical responsibilities to others and the desire to preserve a stable sense of self.

Concentric eyewall formation and eyewall replacement cycles are intrinsic processes that determine the intensity of a tropical cyclone, as opposed to purely environmental factors such as wind shear or the ocean heat content. Although extensive research has been done in this area, there is not a single widely accepted theory on the formation of secondary eyewall structures. Many previous studies focused on dynamic processes in the inner core of a tropical cyclone that would precede and ultimately lead to the formation of a secondary eyewall. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 were frequently sampled by research aircraft which gathered a copious amount of data. During this time, Rita developed a secondary eyewall which eventually replaced the original eyewall. This thesis will investigate the formation of a secondary eyewall with particular emphasis on the rainband region, as observations show that an outer principal rainband transformed into the secondary ring. A high resolution, full physics model (MM5) initialized with global model forecast fields correctly predicted the secondary eyewall formation in Rita. The model output will be used to investigate both Katrina and Rita in terms of their PV generation characteristics since PV and vorticity maxima correlate well with wind maxima that accompany the eyewall and rainbands. Furthermore, dynamical processes such as vortex Rossby wave (VRW) activity in the inner core region will be analyzed. Comparison of the differences in the two storms might shed some light on dynamics that can lead to structure changes. Comparison of the model data with aircraft observation is used to validate the results. Doppler radar derived wind fields will be used to calculate the vertical vorticity. The vorticity field is closely related to PV and thus a manifestation of the PV generation process in the rainband. The investigation has shown that Rita?s principal rainband features higher PV generation rates at radii beyond 80 km. Both the azimuthal component and the projection of asymmetric PV generated by convection onto the azimuthal mean connected with the principal band are hypothesized to be of importance for the formation of the secondary eyewall. VRW were found not to be important for the initial formation of the ring but might enhance convective activity once the outer eyewall contracts.

Ao se considerar o contexto sócio-histórico no qual as obras foram produzidas, observa-se que o novo papel da mulher neste cenário aponta uma mudança na sua representação cultural, fortalecendo a crítica social quanto ao status tradicional feminino. Na busca pela afirmação da individualidade e pela realização dos anseios pessoais, as trajetórias das heroínas Molly Bolt e Edith Hope são marcadas por uma situação ainda desfavorável às mulheres, uma vez que a construção do feminino acontece em ambientes desarmoniosos ou traumáticos, apresentando uma contradição entre o espaço conquistado na sociedade contemporânea e sua respectiva representação literária. Assim, as autoras, ao estabelecerem uma espécie de tradição consciente com o paradigma do Bildungsroman, retomam de maneira crítica os valores humanistas da Bildung germânica e problematizam a influência explícita/implícita do pensamento patriarcal na construção do feminino, oferecendo novas perspectivas. A capacidade de autoanálise das duas heroínas sobre sua posição como sujeito no mundo e conscientização de sua diferença sobressai-se. Por isso, seja na fase de despertar na adolescência, seja num momento de renascimento pessoal na meia-idade, Molly e Edith escolhem os próprios valores do aprimoramento estético-espiritual e da liberdade-responsabilidade no processo formativo.

Considering the socio-historical context in which the works were produced, it is observed that the new role of women in this scenario indicates a change in its cultural representation, strengthening social criticism about the traditional female status. In the quest for affirmation of individuality and fulfillment of personal desires, the trajectories of the heroines Molly Bolt and Edith Hope are still marked by an unfavorable situation for women, since the construction of the feminine character occurs in traumatic or disharmonious environments, and presents a contradiction between the position attained by the character in contemporary society and its respective literary representation. Thus, by creating a sort of conscious tradition with the Bildungsroman paradigm, the female authors critically revisit the humanist values of the Germanic Bildung and question the explicit or implicit influence of patriarchal thought on female representation, offering new perspectives. The ability of the heroines to evaluate their own position as subject in the world and their awareness of their difference stands out. Thus, whether in an awakening in adolescence or a personal rebirth in midlife, Molly and Edith choose their own values for their aesthetic-spiritual improvement and freedom-responsibility in the Bildung process. It is understood that these decisions reveal themselves as forms of rejection of pre-established cultural norms for women, promoting writing as a way of asserting non-patriarchal female identities. It is argued that female Bildungsroman should be addressed by a constant critical interrogation of the form of narrating the personal and social development...

A Mina de Santa Rita, situada no complexo máfico-ultramáfico Fazenda Mirabela, é uma intrusão máfica-ultramáfica, mineralizada a sulfetos de níquel e cobre, situada no sudeste do Estado da Bahia, município de Itagibá. Esse depósito é composto por rochas de idade Paleoproterozóica, metamorfizadas em fácies granulito. Os sulfetos de níquel e cobre ocorrem disseminados e, preferencialmente, associados a harzburgitos, olivina ortopiroxenitos e ortopiroxenitos. O minério é composto por uma grande variedade de Mg-silicatos, sendo que o níquel ocorre essencialmente como pentlandita nos peridotitos, além de se apresentar como elemento menor em silicatos e espinélios em rochas mais máficas. Informações de processo demonstram a impossibilidade de se estabelecer uma correlação robusta entre a composição química do minério e seu comportamento na etapa de beneficiamento mineral. Desta forma, o conhecimento da variabilidade mineralógica no depósito é de fundamental importância para o planejamento de lavra e processamento mineral. Mais de 300 amostras do plano de mineração de curto prazo (2013-2017) relativas a intervalos de furos de sondagem considerados no estudo de viabilidade econômica (período de 1985-2004) foram agrupadas em domínios mineralógicos, utilizando a análise estatística multivariada de dados de difração de raios X (DRX-AEM). Dezessete domínios mineralógicos inicialmente definidos são essencialmente diferenciados com base na presença e conteúdos relativos dos principais minerais de ganga: serpentina, olivina e piroxênio. Amostras representativas dos principais domínios mineralógicos, pré-definidos por DRX-AEM, foram submetidas a estudos de caracterização mineralógica de detalhe por análise de imagens (MEV-MLA). Os resultados indicam que os grupos com composições mais peridotíticas e/ou carbonáticas, com maiores conteúdos de serpentina, apresentam menor tempo de moagem para atingir P95 igual a 0,15 mm; maior alteração dos grãos de pentlandita; maior parcela de total de níquel associado a silicatos; menor grau de liberação dos sulfetos; e maior quantidade de sulfetos abaixo de 10 ?m, em relação aos grupos de composição mais piroxenítica. / The Santa Rita mine, located in the mafic-ultramafic complex Fazenda Mirabela, is a mafic-ultramafic intrusion mineralized to nickel and copper sulphides located in the southeast of Bahia state, Itagibá municipality. The nickel sulphide deposit comprises a portion of a mafic-ultramafic layered complex under granulite metamorphism facies. Disseminated Ni and Cu sulphides form a stratiform body parallel to the lithostratigraphic contacts extending upwards essentially from the harzburgite unit and through the olivine orthopyroxenite unit. The nickel content is mainly associated to pentlandite in peridotitic rocks but also enriched in silicates and spinels in mafic rocks (dunites). Industrial plant benchmark data have shown the unfeasibility of establishing a strong relation between the ore chemical composition and its behavior in the mineral beneficiation process. Therefore, the knowledge of the mineralogical variability in the deposit is crucial for mine planning and mineral/metallurgical processing. More than 300 samples from drill core samples from the feasibility studies (period of 1985-2004) included in the short-term mining plan (2013-2017) were clustered into geological domains applying multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) of X-ray diffraction data (XRD). Results discriminated seventeen initial mineralogical domains considering the content of major gangue minerals: serpentine, olivine and pyroxene. Representative samples of the main mineralogical domains pre-defined by XRD-MSA ore-types were later subject to sieve size analysis followed by detailed mineralogical studies by automated SEM image analysis (MLA). The results indicate that groups with more peridotite and / or carbonatic compositions, with higher content of serpentine, have less time of grinding to reach P95 equal to 0,15 mm; high level of pentlandite alteration; greater portion of nickel associated into silicates; lower sulphides liberation degree; and a higher amount of sulphides below 10 ?m; in relation to the most pyroxenic composition groups.

Este texto analisa o processo de educação feminina, em Sergipe, nas primeiras décadas do século XX, a partir de uma abordagem histórico-sociológica. Trata das trajetórias de escolarização e inserção no mercado de trabalho de três sergipanas, Quintina Diniz de Oliveira Ribeiro (1878-1942), Itala Silva de Oliveira (1897-1984) e Maria Rita Soares de Andrade (1904-1998), evidenciam táticas e estratégias em busca da emancipação feminina e de ocupação, de espaços considerados masculinos, de forma pioneira. Trabalhou-se com as seguintes fontes: relatórios e mensagens oficiais, atas de instituições escolares e de associações intelectuais e educativas, atas da Assembléia Legislativa, a grande imprensa e a imprensa cultural-literária e feminina, teses de concurso e de conclusão de curso, crônicas, cartas e depoimentos orais, entre outros. A visibilidade do engajamento profissional e político dessas três mulheres, nos espaços públicos dentro e fora de Sergipe, contribuíram para a produção de diferentes significados sobre as mulheres escolarizadas. A configuração do campo educacional, na passagem do século XIX para o século XX, possibilitou não somente a diversidade na criação de instituições como também a construção de projetos de escolarização para meninas e jovens sergipanas de diferentes classes sociais. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: This text analysis the process of female education in Sergipe in the first decades ofthe XX ftom a historical-sociological approach. It deals with the schooling and insertion in the job market of three women from Sergipe, Quintina Diniz de Oliveira Ribeiro (1878- 1942), Itala da Silva Oliveira (1897-1984) and Maria Rita Soares de Andrade (1904-1998), evidence tatics and strategies seeking the female and the occupation of spaces regarded as male ones of pioneer shape. The following sources were dealt with: official reports and messages, minutes of schooling institutions and of intelectual and educational associations, minutes of legislative assembly, the press as a whole and the culturalliterary female press, contests thesis, graduation thesis, chronicles, letters and oral reports, and so on. The visibility of the professional and political commitment of these three women, in public spaces within and outside Sergipe, they have contributed to the production of different meanings about schooled women . The configuration of the educational field, in the passage of the XIX to the XX, not only enabled the diversity in the creation of the institutions as well as the construction of projects of schooling for girls and young people of different social classes.

This thesis focuses on the presence of Black women characters in domestic contexts in the early poetry of African American poets Nikki Giovanni and Rita Dove and examines the strategies these women employ, individually and in close relationships, in order to empower themselves and sustain those around them. It provides a joint exploration of the work of two major contemporary poets from a literary and interdisciplinary perspective, mapping instances of the poetic expression of Black feminist politics. The theoretical approach builds on a range of understandings of empowerment, strategy, and the central importance of home in an African American context, as conceptualized primarily in the work of Black feminists, in particular Patricia Hill Collins and bell hooks. Structurally, the study follows the cycle of a woman’s life from girlhood to old age. Thus, poems involving the empowerment strategies of girls at home are explored first. They are followed by poems where the domestic lives of adult women and then elderly women are addressed, with a focus on their respective empowering strategies. Discussed last are strategies of empowerment evident in the interactions of (largely) Black women of different generations in poems depicting intergenerational contacts and relationships. Homeplaces created by Black women have historically been experienced as sheltering African Americans from the perils of the dominant white society and thereby Black women’s domestic experiences have generally been linked to privilege rather than to confinement and victimization. In the poems, when at home, Black women utilize different strategies to assert themselves and each other, implicitly or explicitly, emerging strong and resilient, even though sometimes they may merely derive satisfaction from their poor circumstances. Strong connections to the past and a sense of belonging, partaking in legacies and storytelling, as well as memory, imagination, dreaming and hiding, are recurring elements of their empowerment processes. However, their enjoyment of loving bonds and their sharing of African-derived knowledges and ways of being emerge as the most significant aspects contributing to their empowerment.

Evacuation is oftentimes the best means to prevent the loss of lives when residents encounter certain hazards, such as hurricanes. Emergency managers and experts make great efforts to increase evacuation compliance but risk area residents may procrastinate even after making the decision to leave, thus complicating response activities. Purpose - This study explores the factors determining evacuees’ mobilization periods, defined here as, the delay time between the decision to evacuate and actual evacuation. The theoretical model that guides this research is built on the protective action decision model (PADM). It captures both the social and psychological factors in the process of transferring risk information to mobilization action. The psychological process of risk communication originates from personalized external information and ends with the formation of risk perception, ultimately influencing evacuees’ mobilizations. Design/methodology/approach – Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the model is tested using survey data collected from Hurricane Rita (2005) evacuees in 2006 (N = 897). The residents of three Texas coastal counties (Harris, Brazoria, and Galveston) are randomly selected and telephone-interviewed. Findings – The findings indicate that mobilizations are affected directly by respondents’ concerns of the threats to their personal lives and costs and dangers on their evacuation trips. The perceptions of evacuees can be related to their exposure, attention, and understanding of the risk information. Research limitations/implications – The results suggest that practitioners pay more attention on the residents’ understanding of different types of risks, their abilities to process the risk information, as well as the means information is delivered. Therefore the public authorities should be more active in protecting evacuees’ properties and assets, as well as encourage evacuees to take closer shelters to avoid potential costs on road. Also the community should be more involved in mobilizing evacuation, as long as social cues can assist evacuees to better comprehend the threat information. Originality/value – This study tests the PADM framework empirically and structurally. It also clarifies the definition of evacuation mobilization using a new operation based on the evacuation groups per household.
