Giant City State Park in Makanda, Illinois contains graffiti created by passersby and local residents. Many deem modern graffiti in parks as a depreciative behavior. However, the inscription created by Theodore Wilson Thompson in 1862 along the Giant City Nature Trail has implications for interpretive use by park staff. This is due to the inscription being etched prior to the park's establishment and Theodore's pioneering contributions to Makanda and Carbondale, Illinois. Therefore, Theodore Thompson was the focus of this study due to his inscription and the lack of park research conducted on his life history. In 1852, as a young boy, he moved to the Makanda vicinity with his family. Theodore and his brother Albert carved their names in sandstone during the Civil War, in an area that would later become part of Giant City State Park. After owning a large fruit farm as an adult and increasing the size of the town of Makanda, Theodore moved to Carbondale where he purchased 600 acres adjoining what would become Southern Illinois University. Thompson Woods and Thompson Lake (Campus Lake) were established by Theodore and were later added to the campus of Southern Illinois University. Through the documentation and research of other names etched throughout the park, it will be possible for park staff to not only create interpretive media to help visitors better connect with the resource, but also help preserve the history of the area before it became a park.

Além dos estimadores pontuais, pode-se estimar intervalos de possíveis estimativas do parâmetro estudado por meio de estimadores intervalares. Portanto, este trabalho visa apresentar uma revisão da metodologia utilizada para calcular os Intervalos de Confiança (IC) baseados no estimador de Horvitz-Thompson. Verificou-se que o intervalo de confiança clássico, baseado na distribuição normal, é o mais utilizado na literatura. Este IC necessita da variância populacional para ser calculado, por isso, utilizou-se também o IC baseado na distribuição t-student, devido a variância ser estimada e comparou-se o desempenho de diferentes estimadores da variância apresentados na literatura com relação ao tamanho amostral. Verificou-se que nem sempre os IC baseados na distribuição normal atingiram a cobertura nominal e que os estimadores da variância, que independem da probabilidade de seleção conjunta, tiveram desempenho parecido ao estimador proposto por Yates e Grundy (1953) e Sem (1953), em populações pequenas. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / In a problem of sampling without replacement with unequal probability of selection, Horvitz e Thompson (1952) have given an estimator without bias capable of estimates the total, the mean of a variable or the population size. Besides the point estimators, it is possible to estimate the ranges of possibles estimates of the parameter analyzed, by the intervals estimators. Therefore, this research has the main purpose to show an overview about the methodologies used to compute the con dence interval based on the Horviz-Thompson estimator. It was found that the classic con dence interval, based on the normal distribution, it is the most used in the literature. This interval needs that the population variance must be calculated, that is why, it was also used the con dence interval based on the t-student distribution, because the variance is estimated and then it was compared the performance of the di erent estimators of variance showed in the literature with relation to the sample size. It was concluded that not always the con dence interval based on the normal distribution reached the nominal cover and that the estimators of variance that are independent of the joint probability of selection had similar performance to the estimator given by Yates e Grundy (1953) and Sen (1953) in small populations.

Mais importante, mostra como este resultado de ponto-fixo pode ser aplicado a fim de estudar a existência e unicidade de soluções para equações recursivas que aparecem em economia dinâmica.
