Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the perceptions, philosophies, purpose, and effectiveness of public education in Bermuda. It includes a purposeful sample of Bermuda leaders in education, government, business, and public life. I prepared a series of questions that I used as an interview guide to obtain the opinions of participants in the study. Most participants did not provide specific information about the official philosophy, major purposes, or specific educational outcomes of the public education system since its restructuring began in 1987. Many indicated their frustration about the lack of such basic data as enrollment, graduation, and dropout rates. Nearly all interviewees (except those staff members from the Ministry of Education) agreed that the effectiveness of public schools has declined dramatically in recent years. Other findings include: Leadership in the Ministry of Education and the Department of Education has been bureaucratic and incompetent; Governmental funding of public schools has been very high, but much money has been wasted; Some public middle and secondary school principals have performed poorly, at least partly because of inadequate leadership and communication from the Ministry of Education and the Department of Education; Major problems exist regarding curriculum misalignment, teachers’ qualifications and performance, services of school counselors, lack of parental involvement in the schools, and classification and instruction of students with cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities; and Major changes are needed to overcome existing problems, including dismissal of the least effective individuals in the Department of Education and in individual schools.

Orientador: Roberto Lyra Villas BôasResumo: O gramado esportivo requer cuidados cautelosos para apresentar bom desenvolvimento e “jogabilidade”. O tipo de fertilizante e a forma de aplicação deste interferem diretamente em sua qualidade, para isso, é necessário obter informações sobre o método mais adequado da adubação. O objetivo com o presente trabalho foi de comparar fertilizantes de liberação gradual, e fetirrigação, com a adubação convencional à fim de obter maior qualidade de grama Zeon e Celebration. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas – FCA/UNESP, Campus de Botucatu (SP). O delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso, em parcelas subdivididas, com grama Zeon e Celebration, como parcela principal, e cinco manejos de adubação (1. sem adubação; 2. fertirrigação; 3. adubação com fertilizantes convencionais; 4. adubação com fertilizante de liberação lenta; 5. adubação com fertilizante de liberação controlada), nas subparcelas, e quatro repetições, no período de janeiro a junho, sendo realizadas as avaliaçoes a cada quinze dias.

Full textAbstract:
Bermuda, settled in l6l2, was the second successful English colony founded in the New World. The islands appeared to provide investors in England with an excellent opportunity to make a profit, but the colony failed to generate the anticipatcd profits because the investors failed to allow sufficient incentive for the colonists to produce high quality cash crops. Little research has been conducted on the early history of Bermuda, and the little that has been done has focused on political events within the colony and colonizing company. This work uses letters, petitions, contemporary accounts, and other colonial and company documents to examinc the interaction between the colonists in Bermuda and the investors in England and to determine the impact of this interaction on the failure of the colony.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Rudolph HonPleistocene-age terra rossa paleosols are situated on and are intercalated with eolianite and marine carbonate units across the Bermuda Islands. These clay-rich soils were originally thought to the derived from weathering of the volcanic seamount and/or from dissolution of the carbonate units, the paleosols are now believed to be primarily the result of atmospheric dust deposition from Saharan North Africa and the Sahel via long range transport, with some local inputs. If so, these soil units are mixtures of atmospheric deposition during one or more glacial- interglacial cycles. Previous investigations have been conducted on the paleosols to determine their provenance, age, and to identify unique characteristics for island wide mapping. We conducted comprehensive geochemical analyses to determine the degree of chemical weathering and diagenesis, and to identify processes responsible for their formation and development. The paleosols were found to be geochemically similar across all ages, and to show an increased degree of alteration with age rather than with their duration of subaerial exposure, indicating diagenesis by infiltrating meteoric waters as well subaerial weathering. Evidence of paleosol diagenesis suggests vadose flow across the island may not be limited to preferential pathways and that while flow through the limestones is complex, infiltrating waters appear to have allowed for additional alteration of the soils. In addition to the paleosols, clay-rich deposits with paleosol-like textures were identified during coring operations in Harrington Sound and Hungry Bay, beneath present-day sea level. The source and development histories of these materials were previously unknown. Since these clay deposits are situated beneath present-day sea level it is likely that they were deposited and chemically weathered exclusively during glacial low-sea level climate conditions. Geochemical analyses were conducted on the submarine clay samples to determine if they were related to the above-sea level paleosol and to identify their sources. Major and trace element signatures showed the submarine clay deposits to be chemically similar to the paleosols and to be derived from a similar upper continental crust-like parent. Trace element fingerprinting showed the samples to be derived from a parent similar to that of the paleosols; primarily atmospheric dust with some volcanic contributions. These findings provide additional evidence that trade wind vectors for dust transport were present during Pleistocene glacial climate conditions. Weathering indicators reveal the submarine clay samples to be somewhat less weathered than paleosols of similar age and comparable periods of exposure. Like the paleosols, the submarine clays underwent an initial period of rapid subaerial weathering which suggests warm humid climate conditions during glacial low sea level periods. However, the submarine clays did not experience extended periods of diagenesis, which may explain the somewhat lower degree of weathering. Evidence of inputs from the volcanic platform to the paleosols was limited, but comparisons with shallow volcanic rock and highly weathered volcanic residual known as the Primary Red Clay showed some similarities, suggesting that in-situ chemical weathering of the volcanic platform could produce a laterite with some characteristics similar to the Bermuda paleosols. Geochemical analysis of volcanic sands collected at Whalebone Bay showed the igneous fragments to be a result of mechanical weathering and sorting of heavy refractory minerals and we interpret these sediments to be best described as a beach placer deposit. These materials are enriched in insoluble trace elements and REE, and their contribution to the paleosols is limited

Full textAbstract:
This study will examine objects created by prisoners in five specific confinement settings in over a dozen different locations in Bermuda; 19th century Convict Hulks, Boer War, WWI and WWII internment camps, and Casemates maximum-security prison. Artefacts will include cedar, metal, stone, and bone carvings, as well as paintings, textiles, photographs and graffiti. These objects were made and used by prisoners to cope with the physical and psychological effects of confinement. Consequently they are deeply personal and emotive representations of the experience of confinement in Bermuda. Many were also integrated into the local tourism markets and given as gifts. As part of the tourism trade these items became iconic souvenirs of Bermuda, and were popular items among locals and visitors alike. As commodities, these objects enabled interaction between the marginalised communities of prisoners and mainstream society. This movement from the private and restricted landscapes of the prison into the public sphere of tourism enabled these objects to acquire meanings and associations separated from their manufacture and use in the prisons and camps. Often these items were kept in family collections and became heirlooms representative of specific family members and histories. As these objects have been separated temporally from their confinement origins, they have become valued as historical souvenirs and embedded within cultural heritage displays and constructions of national identities. These diverse narratives and trajectories have meant that these objects are complex and often hold multiple meanings for a range of people. As all of these artefacts are not only symbolic of the personal experiences of prisoners in the prison landscape, but are also integrated into local constructions of community and identity and international histories of confinement, this study will utilise a multi-disciplinary approach to reveal the variety of meanings that these objects hold for different people. This study will examine these objects as one collection of confinement art and identify how they were made, sold, collected, and displayed, in order to create a picture of Bermuda confinement art over time. As the artefacts are created within very different time periods and associated with a variety of confinement settings and locations, the cultural and social implications of these artefacts will be examined in order to chart changing perceptions of confinement and confinement art in Bermuda. Thus, this study aims to enable a greater understanding of the importance of confinement art to prisoners and non-prisoners, and the role that confinement art plays within constructions of individual, community, and national identities.

Gramados são parte fundamental na composição de campos esportivos. Alguns aspectos devem ser levados em consideração no processo de escolha da espécie a ser utilizada, como a utilização do gramado (tolerância ao pisoteio), manejo do gramado, condições físico-químicas do solo e tolerância ao sombreamento. Com a realização de eventos esportivos no país, houve a necessidade de reformas e modernizações das arenas de futebol; dentre as alterações na arquitetura está a implantação de coberturas nos estádios, o que resultou em uma redução da luminosidade, afetando o desenvolvimento normal do gramado. Objetivou-se com o experimento avaliar a influência da luminosidade e de diferentessubstratos no desenvolvimento de grama bermuda (Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis). Foi conduzido no Campus II - UNESP, de Ilha Solteira – SP, em esquema fatorial 5 x 4 (substratos x luminosidades), em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 20 tratamentos e 3 repetições. Os substratos foram: S1 = Solo, S2 = Solo + areia (2:1), S3 = Solo + matéria orgânica (1:1), S4 = Solo + matéria orgânica + areia (2:1:1) e S5 = Matéria orgânica + areia (3:1), em 4 condições de luminosidade (pleno sol, 30%, 50%, 80%), durante os meses de março a outubro de 2014. Foram avaliados: altura, massa fresca e massa seca das aparas da grama, teor de clorofila e radiação solar. Concluiu-se que: o sombreamento interferiu no pleno desempenho da grama bermuda, sendo que esta tolera sombreamento intermediário (30% e 50%), e os substratos que contém maiores teores de matéria orgânica submetidos ao sombreamento tiveram o desempenho prejudicado.
Lawn is the main part of sports fields and landscaping projects, it is difficult to find a landscaping project on which the lawn is not present. Some aspects must be considered when choosing the species or cultivar, as tolerance to treading, need for irrigation, the soil physic and chemical conditions and shade tolerance. Due to the realization of the sports events in the following years, there was a need for reforms and modernization of football arenas; among the architectural changes is the implantation of roof on the arenas, resulting in a reduction in light, affecting the normal development of lawn.

The study has been conducted in Campus II - UNESP Campus of Ilha Solteira - SP, in a factorial design 5x4 (substrates x light), in a completely randomized design with 20 treatments and 3 repetitions. The treatments: substrates - S1 = Soil, S2 = Soil + sand (2:1), S3 = Soil + organic matter (1:1), S4 = Soil + organic matter + sand (2:1:1) and S5 = Organic matter + sand (3:1), in 4 lighting conditions (full sun, 30%, 50%, 80%), during the months of March to October 2014. It has been evaluated: shoot height, shoot fresh and dry matter, chlorophyll content in the leaves, solar. Conclusion: shade interfered in the full performance of bermudagrass, the grass tolerates intermediate shading (30% and 50%) and the substrates that has most quantities of organic matter in its composition and submitted to shade had the damaged performance.

Full textAbstract:
The Bermuda health care system involves predominately private insurance based coverage. With private premiums, healthcare costs continually increase. Additionally, the Public Health System financing for those disproportionately affected by the high costs offer little support. The study examines the impact of a government subsidized health care policy implemented in 2009 on the health outcomes of the population. Specifically, the policy targets senior citizens aged 65 and older who often face disadvantaged costs in meeting the needs of their health. Chappell and Penning (1996) demonstrate the role of economic factors as a significant influence on health service utilizations. Using evidence from Chappell and Penning, the study provides a fixed effect regression analysis on health conditions before and after implementation of the program. Results reveal that senior citizens are significantly more likely to report having better health after the policy was implemented. Findings imply that increased government subsidized programs, such as FutureCare, have a significantly beneficial impact on the welfare of individuals in Bermuda.

Resumo: Para que um campo esportivo seja adequado ele precisa ter características desejáveis de qualidade do gramado, permitir o desempenho do atleta, drenagem de água e durabilidade. Dentre as três camadas que formam o campo atlético (sub-base, base e grama), a base é a responsável pelo desenvolvimento radicular da grama e tem influência direta sob os quatro fatores descritos acima. A construção da base dos campos esportivos tem sido baseada nas recomendações da USGA (United States Golf Association) para "greens" de campos de golfe, tendo como principal componente a areia, devido sua alta capacidade de drenagem. Porém, as características desejáveis podem ser variáveis de acordo com a sub base utilizada, que pode alterar propriedades químicas e físicas do solo refletindo na qualidade, desempenho e durabilidade do gramado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi definir a melhor composição da base para os campos esportivos de grama bermuda e gerar informações técnicas que contribuam na construção dos campos de futebol brasileiros. Foram avaliados os seguintes tratamentos: T1: Areia; T2: Areia (80%) + Turfa (20%); T3: Areia (90%) + Solo argiloso (10%); T4: Areia (70%) + Solo arenoso (30%).

Abstract: An appropriate athletic field must have desirable characteristics of quality, performance, durability and drainage. Among the three layers that make up the athletic field (sub-base, base and grass), the base or root zone is responsible for grass root development and has direct influence on the four factors described above. The construction of the root zone of athletic fields has been based on the recommendations of the USGA (United States Golf Association) to greens of golf courses, the main component sand, due to its high drainage capacity, however there may be loss of quality, performance and durability. The objective of this study was define the best composition of the root zone for bermuda grass athletic fields and generate technical information that contribute to the construction of Brazilian soccer fields. We evaluated the following treatments: T1: pure sand, T2: standard USGA (80% sand and 20% peat), T3: pure sand + native clay soil and T4: native sandy soil + pure sand. The experimental design was a randomized block consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications, each plot size of 6 m x 5 m. During one year were held the following assessments: surface traction, speed of water infiltration into the soil, mechanical strength of the substrate penetration, root depth, substrate humidity, concentration of nutrients in the leaf and chemical analysis of the substrate. The results showed that the exclusive use of sand at the substrate of the composition not show differences over the sand mixtures with peat and soil for the parameters: mechanical strength of the substrate penetration, surface traction ...

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgicoA drenagem à uma etapa importante na construÃÃo de um gramado esportivo, auxiliando no desenvolvimento da grama e na utilizaÃÃo por parte dos usuÃrios. Para um projeto de drenagem, informaÃÃes sobre a sensibilidade da cultura ao estresse por excesso de Ãgua facilitarÃo nas tomadas de decisÃes quanto ao dimensionamento do projeto. Partindo da premissa de que o excesso de Ãgua prejudica o crescimento e desenvolvimento da cultura da grama e que os Ãndices Sum excess water (SEW30) e Index day stress (IDS) sÃo sensÃveis Ãs variÃveis de desenvolvimento da cultura, objetivou-se com este estudo identificar a sensibilidade da cultura da grama bermuda ao excesso de Ãgua com base na anÃlise de variÃveis de desenvolvimento da cultura. O experimento foi conduzido com a grama bermuda (Cynodon spp.), durante trÃs meses, em um modelo fÃsico localizado no LaboratÃrio de HidrÃulica e IrrigaÃÃo do Departamento de Engenharia AgrÃcola da Universidade Federal do Cearà (UFC). No local foram construÃdos tanques de alvenaria que medem 1,5 m de altura, 2,0 m de largura e 1,5 m de comprimento, que permitem controlar o nÃvel do lenÃol freÃtico em diferentes posiÃÃes. Foi utilizado substrato à base de areia, conforme especificaÃÃes da United States Golf Association (USGA). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetiÃÃes. Os tratamentos consistiram em elevaÃÃes do lenÃol freÃtico, variando as profundidades entre 0,05 m e 0,20 m, realizadas quinzenalmente, com duraÃÃo de trÃs dias, alÃm do tratamento sem elevaÃÃo do lenÃol freÃtico. As variÃveis utilizadas para testar os tratamentos foram: comprimento de raiz, taxa de fotossÃntese, massa da matÃria seca de raÃzes, estolÃes, rizomas, colmos e folhas e massa seca das aparas de grama. Na anÃlise de variÃncia os tratamentos foram comparados pelo teste F, considerando-se um nÃvel mÃnimo de significÃncia de 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados permitem concluir que os valores associados Ãs variÃveis analisadas demonstram decrÃscimos em seus rendimentos com o incremento no nÃvel de estresse por excesso de Ãgua; a cultura da grama bermuda mostra-se mais sensÃvel ao excesso de Ãgua no primeiro estÃdio de desenvolvimento e a taxa fotossintÃtica no tratamento com maior nÃvel de estresse, ou seja; lenÃol freÃtico a 0,05m da superfÃcie do solo decresceu em torno de 2/3 do valor para a condiÃÃo de ausÃncia do lenÃol freÃtico.
The drainage is an important stage in building a filed sports turf helping in the development of grass and in use by the users. For a drainage project information on the sensitivity of culture to stress by excess water will facilitate making decisions as to the design of the project. Assuming that the excess water affect the growth and development of the culture of grass and that the indices SEW30 and IDS are sensitive to the variables of development of the cultivation, the objective of this study was to identify the sensitivity of the culture of Bermuda grass to the excess of water based on the analysis of variables for crop development and stress treatments by excess water as referenced in the indices SEW30 and IDS. The experiment was conducted for three months with the Bermuda grass (Cynodon spp.) in the area of the Laboratory of hydraulic and irrigation of the Department of Agricultural Engineering of Federal University of Cearà (UFC). On the site were constructed tanks of masonry which measure 1.5 m in height, 2.0 m wide and 1.5 m in length, which allows you to control the level in the groundwater in different positions. The soil mix used the base of sand as per specifications of the United States Golf Association (USGA). The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of six elevations in the groundwater, varying the depths between 0.05 m and 0.20 m, and carried out monthly, with a duration of three days and the treatment without elevation of the groundwater. The variables used to test the treatment was root length, photosynthesis rate, dry weight of roots, rhizomes, stolons, culms and leaves and dry weight of clippings grass. In the variance analysis the treatments was compared by F test, considering a minimum level of significance was 5% probability. It was concluded that the values assigned to the variables analyzed showed decreases in their income with the increase in the stress level by excess water; The culture of bermudagrass was more sensitive to excess water in the first stage of development; and the photosynthetic rate at higher stress levels, decreases reaches approximately 2/3 of the value for the condition of no groundwater.

The objective of this research was to evaluate three grazing systems with Coastcross-1 (CC) + 100 kg N/ha/year + common vetch; CC + 100 kg N/ha/year + arrowleaf clover; and CC + 200 kg N/ha/year. The experiment was carried out from May 2013 to April 2014. Lactating Holstein cows were used in the evaluation. The grazing method was the rotative stocking, with one day of occupation. Thirteen grazing cycles were performed during the experimental period (313 days). The forage mass, botanical composition, leaf/stem ratio; daily accumulation rate, production and forage intake; grazing efficiency and stocking rate were evaluated. Experimental design was completely randomized with three treatments (grazing systems), three replicates (paddocks) in completely split-plot time (seasons). The average of forage production and stocking rate were 20.8, 17.6 and 19.7 t/ha/year; 7.0, 6.8 e 6.8 animal units/ha/day, respectively. Better results were found on CC + 100 kg of N/ha + common vech and CC + 200 kg of N/ha pasture systems. The presence of the legumes did not affect the structural composition of Coastcross-1, but implies delay in the development of this grass.Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa avaliar três sistemas forrageiros constituídos por: Coastcross-1(CC) + ervilhaca comum + 100 kg de N/ha/ano; CC + trevo vesiculoso + 100 kg de N/ha/ano e CC + 200 kg de N/ha/ano. O experimento foi conduzido entre maio de 2013 e abril de 2014. Para avaliação foram utilizadas vacas em lactação da raça Holandesa. O método de pastejo utilizado foi o de lotação rotacionada, com um dia de ocupação. Durante o período experimental (313 dias) foram realizados treze pastejos. Foram avaliados a massa de forragem, composição botânica, relação folha/colmo; taxa de acúmulo diário, produção e consumo de foragem; eficiência de pastejo e taxa de lotação. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado com três tratamentos (sistemas forrageiros), três repetições (piquetes) e parcelas subdivididas no tempo (estações do ano). Os valores médios de produção de forragem e taxa de lotação foram de 20,8; 17,6 e 19,7 t/ha/ano; 7,0; 6,8 e 6,8 unidades animais/ha/dia, respectivamente. Melhores resultados foram encontrados nos sistemas forrageiros constituídos por CC + 100 kg de N/ha + ervilhaca comum e CC + 200 kg de N/ha. A presença das leguminosas não afetou a composição estrutural da Coastcross-1, mas implica em atraso no desenvolvimento dessa gramínea.

Para que um campo esportivo seja adequado ele precisa ter características desejáveis de qualidade do gramado, permitir o desempenho do atleta, drenagem de água e durabilidade. Dentre as três camadas que formam o campo atlético (sub-base, base e grama), a base é a responsável pelo desenvolvimento radicular da grama e tem influência direta sob os quatro fatores descritos acima. A construção da base dos campos esportivos tem sido baseada nas recomendações da USGA (United States Golf Association) para “greens” de campos de golfe, tendo como principal componente a areia, devido sua alta capacidade de drenagem. Porém, as características desejáveis podem ser variáveis de acordo com a sub base utilizada, que pode alterar propriedades químicas e físicas do solo refletindo na qualidade, desempenho e durabilidade do gramado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi definir a melhor composição da base para os campos esportivos de grama bermuda e gerar informações técnicas que contribuam na construção dos campos de futebol brasileiros. Foram avaliados os seguintes tratamentos: T1: Areia; T2: Areia (80%) + Turfa (20%); T3: Areia (90%) + Solo argiloso (10%); T4: Areia (70%) + Solo arenoso (30%). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, composto por 4 tratamentos e 3 repetições, tendo cada parcela a dimensão de 3 x 4 m. Durante um ano foram realizadas as seguintes avaliações: tração superficial dos gramados, velocidade de infiltração de água na base, resistência mecânica da base à penetração, umidade da base, concentração de nutrientes na lâmina foliar da grama bermuda e análise química da base. Conclui-se que o uso exclusivo de areia na composição da base não diferiu em relação as misturas de areia com turfa e solo para os parâmetros: resistência mecânica da base à penetração, tração superficial dos gramados, pH, matéria orgânica, fósforo e magnésio. Assim, a mistura da areia com a turfa diminuiu a velocidade de infiltração de água na base e aumentou a umidade da base.

The drainage is an important stage in building a filed sports turf helping in the development of grass and in use by the users. For a drainage project information on the sensitivity of culture to stress by excess water will facilitate making decisions as to the design of the project. Assuming that the excess water affect the growth and development of the culture of grass and that the indices SEW30 and IDS are sensitive to the variables of development of the cultivation, the objective of this study was to identify the sensitivity of the culture of Bermuda grass to the excess of water based on the analysis of variables for crop development and stress treatments by excess water as referenced in the indices SEW30 and IDS. The experiment was conducted for three months with the Bermuda grass (Cynodon spp.) in the area of the Laboratory of hydraulic and irrigation of the Department of Agricultural Engineering of Federal University of Ceará (UFC). On the site were constructed tanks of masonry which measure 1.5 m in height, 2.0 m wide and 1.5 m in length, which allows you to control the level in the groundwater in different positions. The soil mix used the base of sand as per specifications of the United States Golf Association (USGA). The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of six elevations in the groundwater, varying the depths between 0.05 m and 0.20 m, and carried out monthly, with a duration of three days and the treatment without elevation of the groundwater. The variables used to test the treatment was root length, photosynthesis rate, dry weight of roots, rhizomes, stolons, culms and leaves and dry weight of clippings grass. In the variance analysis the treatments was compared by F test, considering a minimum level of significance was 5% probability. It was concluded that the values assigned to the variables analyzed showed decreases in their income with the increase in the stress level by excess water; The culture of bermudagrass was more sensitive to excess water in the first stage of development; and the photosynthetic rate at higher stress levels, decreases reaches approximately 2/3 of the value for the condition of no groundwater.
A drenagem é uma etapa importante na construção de um gramado esportivo, auxiliando no desenvolvimento da grama e na utilização por parte dos usuários. Para um projeto de drenagem, informações sobre a sensibilidade da cultura ao estresse por excesso de água facilitarão nas tomadas de decisões quanto ao dimensionamento do projeto. Partindo da premissa de que o excesso de água prejudica o crescimento e desenvolvimento da cultura da grama e que os índices Sum excess water (SEW30) e Index day stress (IDS) são sensíveis às variáveis de desenvolvimento da cultura, objetivou-se com este estudo identificar a sensibilidade da cultura da grama bermuda ao excesso de água com base na análise de variáveis de desenvolvimento da cultura. O experimento foi conduzido com a grama bermuda (Cynodon spp.), durante três meses, em um modelo físico localizado no Laboratório de Hidráulica e Irrigação do Departamento de Engenharia Agrícola da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). No local foram construídos tanques de alvenaria que medem 1,5 m de altura, 2,0 m de largura e 1,5 m de comprimento, que permitem controlar o nível do lençol freático em diferentes posições. Foi utilizado substrato à base de areia, conforme especificações da United States Golf Association (USGA). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em elevações do lençol freático, variando as profundidades entre 0,05 m e 0,20 m, realizadas quinzenalmente, com duração de três dias, além do tratamento sem elevação do lençol freático. As variáveis utilizadas para testar os tratamentos foram: comprimento de raiz, taxa de fotossíntese, massa da matéria seca de raízes, estolões, rizomas, colmos e folhas e massa seca das aparas de grama. Na análise de variância os tratamentos foram comparados pelo teste F, considerando-se um nível mínimo de significância de 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados permitem concluir que os valores associados às variáveis analisadas demonstram decréscimos em seus rendimentos com o incremento no nível de estresse por excesso de água; a cultura da grama bermuda mostra-se mais sensível ao excesso de água no primeiro estádio de desenvolvimento e a taxa fotossintética no tratamento com maior nível de estresse, ou seja; lençol freático a 0,05m da superfície do solo decresceu em torno de 2/3 do valor para a condição de ausência do lençol freático.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar produção de forragem, valor nutritivo, frações nitrogenadas e as características morfogénicas da pastagem irrigada de Cynodon spp. e adubado com nitrogênio com dose parcelada ou singular. O experimento foi conduzido na Unidade de Ensino e Pesquisa de Bovinocultura de corte da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná – Câmpus Dois Vizinhos, Sudoeste do Paraná, entre 09 de novembro de 2015 a 31 de março de 2016. A área experimental foi de 1,5 ha com pastagem de Estrela Africana (Cynodon spp.) irrigada, subdividida em 18 piquetes de áreas semelhantes, com média de 400 m2. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado para as avaliações de produção, valor nutritivo,
fracionamento protéico e as características morfogênicas da pastagem, com três tratamentos e seis repetições. Os tratamentos avaliados foram: 1A: Uma aplicação, 2A: Duas aplicações e 4A: quatro aplicações de N, com intervalos de dois pós-pastejos, totalizando a fração estabelecida de 200 kg de N ha-1. As avaliações da forragem foram determinadas diretamente através de três cortes nas condições de pré e pós-pastejo a cinco centímetros do solo, ajustadas para cada mês do ano. Para a análise da composição química, as amostras foram obtidas pela técnica de simulação de pastejo. As características morfogênicas foram obtidas pela técnica de perfilhos marcados durante o período de descanso. A taxa de acúmulo, massa de forragem pré pastejo, massa foliar, massa de colmo e material morto, apresentaram interação tratamento x
mês (P<0,05). No entanto, não foram observadas diferenças significativas (P>0,05) no valor nutritivo e no fracionamento de nitrogênio total entre os tratamentos. As características morfogênicas apresentaram diferença significativa (P<0,05) para a aplicação singular e parcelada em até duas vezes. Pastagens de Cynodon spp. podem ser adubadas com 200 kg de
nitrogênio por hectare em uma única dose sem interferência no valor nutritivo e sem alterações nas frações proteicas e resultados superiores nas características morfogênicas.The objective of the study was to evaluate forage yield, nutritive value, nitrogen fractions and morphogenic characteristics of irrigated nitrogen fertilized on pasture of Cynodon spp. with split or single dose. The experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Unit of beef cattle breading of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos, South-West of Paraná. The experimental area was 1.5 ha with pasture of Cynodon ssp. irrigated, subdivided in 18 paddocks of similar areas, with an average of 400 m2. Experimental design was of completely randomized for the evaluation of production, nutritional value, protein fractionation and for the morphogenic characteristics, with three treatments and six repetitions. Treatments evaluated were: 1A: One application, 2A: Two applications and 4A: four applications of N, with intervals of two post-grazing, totalizing the established fraction. Forage evaluations were determined directly by three cuts in pre-and post-grazing to five cm of the soil, adjusted for each month of the year. For the analysis of chemical composition, samples were obtained by the grazing hand-plucked method. The morphogenic characteristics were obtained by the marked tills technique during the rest period. Data of accumulation rate, pregrazing forage mass, leaf mass, stem mass and dead material presented treatment x month interaction (P<0.05). However, no significant differences were observed (P> 0.05) in the nutritional value and total nitrogen fractionation between treatments. The morphogenic characteristics showed a significant difference (P <0.05) for the single and split application in two times. the pasture of Cynodon can be fertilized with 200 kg of nitrogen per hectare in single dose without interference on nutritional value and without alterations in the protein fractions and superior results in the morphogenic characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Employee absenteeism results in billions of dollars in revenue losses and lost productivity annually. Given the consequences that organizations could face resulting from high levels of work absences, executives should develop strategies to manage absenteeism to support organizational growth and sustainability. Grounded in the theory of planned behavior, the purpose of the single case study was to explore strategies managers in the private insurance industry used to reduce employee absenteeism. The population consisted of 3 managers located in Bermuda who implemented strategies to decrease employee absenteeism from a Bermuda perspective. Data included semistructured interviews, results of the company's 2016 engagement survey, and annual reports from 2014 to 2016 that highlighted the company's commitment to providing strategies to enhance employees' engagement and dedication to its strategic objectives. Through thematic analysis, 4 themes emerged: employee engagement, managerial communication, employee wellness and health promotion programs, and achieving work-life balance. Business managers could use these findings to understand how specific human resources strategies with a focus towards reducing employee absenteeism minimize work absences. Minimizing work absences could contribute to positive social change through increased economic growth in local communities and higher quality of life for its residents.

Full textAbstract:
The primary goal of this study was to explore whether individual resiliency factors measured by the Resilience Scale (RS) influence academic success for Bermudian foster care adolescents, a population previously unstudied in the literature. Academic vulnerability is a concern for foster care adolescents, and more empirical studies need to be conducted to increase understanding of the variables that affect academic success for this population. Resiliency is a conceptual framework based on a positive developmental focus. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the relationship between resilience and academic success among 51 Bermudian foster care adolescents who attended Bermuda public schools. Achievement scores and grade point average (GPA) were used to ascertain participants' levels of academic success. This study employed a nonexperimental correlational design using a multiple regression to analyze the relationships. Results revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between resiliency and reading achievement but no relationship between resiliency and GPA and resiliency and math achievement. The finding of the positive relationship between resiliency and reading could influence policymakers to reexamine current education policies to stress the importance of ensuring that all at-risk adolescents identified in Bermuda Public Schools acquire adequate reading skills.

Public administrators and civil servants working with vulnerable youth have the challenging yet critical job of supporting their young clients in overcoming adversity and achieving optimal life outcomes. Public administrators and civil servants work with vulnerable youth to help shift their trajectories toward positive life outcomes; however, if these professionals are not thriving in the workplace, they may not have the best possible positive influence on youth. Little was known about how to support the ability of professionals to experience professional thriving, defined as the experience of feeling energized at work and motivated toward professional growth and success. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to understand the experiences that youth-serving professionals, employed by the Bermuda Government, have in transformational coaching as a first step in understanding its potential to enhance individuals' experiences of thriving at work. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 8 individuals working in public education, a subset of youth-serving public sector employees. Data were subjected to Thomas's 5-step data analysis procedure, including inductive coding and categorization of codes into themes. Findings indicated 5 common themes experienced by participants: perspective taking, responsibility and commitment, better relationships and results, personal well-being, and risk taking and growth. These themes have all previously been linked to thriving, indicating the potential for transformational coaching to positively affect workplace thriving. The positive social change implication is to provide public administration leadership with an effective professional development strategy to boost employees' potential to thrive and maximize their influence on youth.

Full textAbstract:
The use of seed-propagated bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], particularly for athletic fields, is rapidly increasing. Recently developed seeded cultivars have been bred for improved turfgrass quality (finer texture, darker green color, etc.) and for increased cold tolerance, but their ability to tolerate wear has not been investigated. This study was conducted to determine if three seeded cultivars could tolerate simulated athletic wear as well as one vegetative cultivar commonly used in Kentucky. The seeded cultivars, Riviera, Princess 77 and Yukon were planted at 24.4 and 48.8 kg PLS ha-1 and the vegetative cultivar Quickstand was sprigged at 1250 and 2500 bu ha-1 in the second week of June. Beginning at the end of August each year (in conjunction with the Kentucky high school football season), simulated wear treatments equivalent to either three, two, one or zero football games wk-1, using a Brinkman traffic simulator, were imposed. Plots were then evaluated for turfgrass quality (TQ) and percent turfgrass cover (PC) through mid-November. The possibility that precipitation amounts and timing may have been a factor is the large end of season PC means is also examined. Final PC means for each season under the highest wear treatment were mixed with Princess 77 having a statistically greater mean (Pandlt;0.0001) of 42% than any other cultivar in 2002, where the 2003 results showed Riviera to have the statistically higher (Pandlt;0.0001) mean (71%) over the other cultivars. TQ ratings were inconsistent when used as a measure of wear tolerance. Stolon fresh weights were also measured between the cultivars as an examination of morphological characteristics that could be associated with wear tolerance, but were not statistically correlated (Pandgt;0.05) to a given cultivars wear tolerance ability.

This study examines the sexual reproductive ecology of three species of corals common on the sub-tropical reefs of Bermuda: the scleractinians Porites astreoides and Madracis mirabilis, and the gorgonian Pseudoplexaura porosa. The reproductive biology of corals in Bermuda is of particular interest because low winter seawater temperatures and geographical isolation make it an extreme of distribution for many of the species there. In addition, the Bermuda platform comprises reef zones that experience gradients of temperature, sediment loading and wave intensity at the different depths. The objectives are twofold; firstly, information is presented on the reproductive mode, sexuality and fecundity of the corals, and the occurrence of lunar periodicity to gamete development, planula release or spawning. The second objective addresses the question of whether environmental variability across the Bermuda platform and between years alters the reproductive cycles of these species. The study species varied in reproductive mode and sexuality. The scleractinian Porites astreoides is a brooder with a mixed sexuality; the gorgonian Pseudoplexaura porosa exhibits gonochorism with broadcasting, and the scleractinian Madracis mirabilis has hermaphroditic colonies with a proposed intermediate 'pseudo-brooding' reproductive mode. Fecundity was variable within and between Po. astreoides colonies but was not related to colony size. There was a relationship between polyp size and gamete production in Ps. porosa. The synchrony of lunar periodicity to spawning or planulae release varied between the species and this is related to the different reproductive modes. The extent that planula release of Po. astreoides was synchronised to the lunar cycle also varied according to the reef zone in Bermuda, a proposed consequence of variable turbidity levels from inshore to offshore. Observed differences in the reproductive effort of Po. astreoides and Ps. porosa, both at the different reef zones within Bermuda, as well across study years, are related to spatial and inter-annual variations in temperature profiles.

Em gramados esportivos a aplicação de fertilizantes é frequente e em altas quantidades durante todo ano, principalmente devido aos frequentes cortes realizados e consequentemente à significativa extração de nutrientes. Atualmente a recomendação da adubação e da irrigação em gramados é subjetiva e baseia-se na experiência dos profissionais e no aspecto visual, o que aumenta muito as chances de erro. Por isso há necessidade de se desenvolver ferramentas e estudar o desenvolvimento do gramado para gerar informações que possam dar o respaldo científico para o profissional fazer as corretas recomendações. Objetivou-se com este trabalho gerar informações técnicas que possam contribuir na recomendação da adubação e no manejo da irrigação e comprovar a possibilidade ou não do uso de extratores de solução do solo em gramados esportivos, técnica já bastante utilizada na fertirrigação. O experimento foi realizado na FCA/UNESP, em Botucatu, onde foram utilizados dois manejos de irrigação, quatro doses de nitrogênio e duas doses de potássio. Os efeitos desses tratamentos sobre o desenvolvimento da grama bermuda Tifway (Cynodon dactylon X Cynodon transvaalensis) foram analisados e relacionados com os teores de nutrientes nas folhas, solo e solução do solo (coletada através de extratores de solução). O delineamento experimental adotado foi em blocos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas e 4 repetições. Durante seis meses foram realizadas as seguintes avaliações: análise química do solo, análise da solução do solo, análise foliar, análises do desenvolvimento do gramado e avaliações da qualidade do gramado. O monitoramento da concentração de nutrientes na solução do solo com a utilização de extratores de cápsula porosa se mostrou eficiente para detectar as doses de nitrogênio e potássio aplicadas; a concentração de nitrogênio e potássio na folha, o índice de cor verde e o desenvolvimento do gramado foram maiores conforme aumentou-se as doses de nitrogênio, porém não houve resposta a doses acima de 562,5 kg ha-1 ano-1; a dose de 112,5 kg ha-1 ano-1 de K2O foi suficiente para manter um gramado bem desenvolvido e com boa coloração verde; a irrigação realizada 3 vezes por semana apresentou teores de nitrogênio e potássio maiores na solução do solo a 10 cm de profundidade em relação à irrigação diária e também promoveu melhor desenvolvimento do gramado.
In sports turfgrass the fertilization is frequent and at high levels, mainly due to frequent mowing and consequently significant nutrient export. Currently the fertilization and irrigation recommendation on turfgrass is subjected and is based on the experience of the professionals and on the visual aspect, which greatly increases the chances of error. So there is a need to develop tools and to study the development of the turfgrass to produce information that can give professionals the support to make the correct recommendation. Therefore, this work was aimed to generate technical information that may contribute to the fertilizer and irrigation management and prove or not the possibility of porous cup extractors on turfgrass, which is a widely used technique in fertigation. The research project was conducted at FCA/UNESP in Botucatu where two irrigation managements, four nitrogen and two potassium rates were used. The effects of these treatments on the development of the Tifway bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon X Cynodon transvaalensis) were analyzed and related with foliar, soil and soil solution analysis. The experimental design was randomized block with split plots and four replications. During six months the following assessments was undertaken: soil, foliar and soil solution analysis, and turfgrass development and qualitity analyses. Monitoring the concentration of nutrients in the soil solution using porous capsule extractors was efficient to detect the nitrogen and potassium rates; the concentration of nitrogen and potassium in leaf, green color index and the development of the turfgrass were better as the nitrogen rate was increased, but there was no response to rates above 562,5 kg ha-1 year-1 of N; the rate of 112,5 kg ha-1 year-1 of K2O was enough to keep a well-developed lawn and with good color; irrigation made 3 times a week had higher levels of nitrogen and potassium in the soil solution at 10 cm depth compared to daily irrigation and also promoted better development of the turfgrass.

Full textAbstract:
This research contributes to the fields of heritage and museum studies with a threefold objective: conceptualise heritage as a process, using an appropriate research method, with implications for museums. The work correspondingly helps to redress the undertheorisation of heritage, the inadequacy of methods for grasping heritage as an ethnographic object of study, and the disconnection between communities and their museums - and, underlying and linking these issues, the widespread incorrect and damaging presumption that individuals, or the communities they constitute, are heritage deficient. In doing so, the presumption of public heritage deficiency underlying and linking these theoretical, methodological and museological 'problems' is challenged and countered. Drawing on my heritage ethnography of maritime Bermuda, I examine how and why people of this mid-Atlantic island use maritimity to formulate identity and community, and thereby generate maritime heritage. This contextualised case study engages with current thinking and key debates about heritage and museums to conceptualise heritage cross-culturally. Introductory chapters review heritage and museums across the relevant scholarly, maritime, and Bermuda scales and reflect upon my methodological choices during the research design, fieldwork and analysis. Five chapters of ethnographic analysis subsequently interpret community uses of heritage in terms of Bermudian relationships with the sea. Specifically, this analysis identifies and explores maritime heritage as: relationships with past and present maritimes; negotiations of 'race' and its legacies; beliefs in authenticity; curatorial practices of community museology; and aspirational remedies to social crisis. With this rich ethnographic yet analytic account of maritime heritage in Bermuda, I expand the framework for understanding heritage as a phenomena and concept, offer a heritage model to museums - and maritime and Bermuda's museums specifically - so they may better connect with their communities, and utilise and innovate heritage ethnography as a specialised method for heritage research, museum curation and wider community use.

Full textAbstract:
The most important problem in using bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) for turf at the northern limit of its adaptation is winter survival. Bermudagrass used for athletic complexes is exposed to the additional problem of uncontrolled or excessive traffic. This research was conducted to determine the effects of: 1) traffic and mineral nutrition; 2) clear plastic covers and cultural treatments and; 3) overseeding and late winter freezing on bermudagrass winter survival.
Four separate experiments were conducted on field cultured Midiron bermudagrass. Various regimes of traffic, N and K fertility, clear plastic covers, cultural treatments and growth regulators were utilized to determine their affect on bermudagrass winter survival. A laboratory freeze was used, in two experiments, on plant samples taken from the field. Following the freezing procedure, the samples were then grown in the greenhouse.
From these experiments, it was found that traffic applied just as turf growth initiates in the spring was the most damaging. Potassium fertility had no effect on post dormancy growth. Nitrogen did improve post dormancy growth of bermudagrass exposed to a late winter laboratory freeze and when plastic covers were applied during winter dormancy. Plastic covers enhanced post dormancy growth and offset the detrimental effect of imposed traffic. 'Stayz Green' turf colorant did increase early post dormancy growth. While, the cultivation treatments using a vertical mower alone and with an aerifier reduced early green up. Flurprimidal reduced early post dormancy growth of bermudagrass; while, mefluidide had no detrimental effect. Both growth regulators reduced the growth of the overseeded ryegrass, and mefluidide enhanced the competitiveness of bermudagrass in the ryegrass canopy.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
The export of particulate carbon from the surface ocean into deeper water and to the seabed is a critical component of the carbon cycle. The concentrations and compositions of particulate pigments collected at different depths and sinking at different settling velocities can be used as a proxy for biologically mediated processes important to the early degradation of OM. By knowing what processes the compositional and quantitative changes in the particulate pigments represent, the POM cycle of the BaRFlux area can be better understood. It is important to understand the POM cycle because deposition of OM to the seabed is the only way that OM is sequestered. The removal of POM from the marine POM cycle is especially important to understand in subtropical gyre areas like the BaRFlux site because: 1. subtropical gyres are areas of downwelling, and therefore POM transport to the deep ocean and may increase as global warming continues. 2.the flux of CO2 to the ocean is increasing from rising levels of atmospheric CO2, and CO2 removed by the biological pump will lessen processes like ocean acidification.
This thesis examines the early degradation of chloropigments in the sediment and water column in the Bermuda Rise area of the Sargasso Sea. Water column particulate samples were collected with in-situ pumps, Niskin bottles, and Indented Rotating Sphere (IRS) sediment traps, and sediment was collected by box cores during 2011-2013 to record seasonal patterns in quantity and quality of particulate pigments as a function of water column depth and particle size. Chl-a, Chl-b, and pheopigments were separated and quantified using reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
The comparison of data from in-situ pumps and Niskin bottles indicates that collection method significantly affects particulate pigment data concentrations. Niskin bottle data showed total pigment concentrations 10 times greater than in-situ pump pigment concentrations at shallow depths. At depths below the euphotic zone, Niskin bottle and in-situ pump concentrations both appear similar because the particulate pigment concentrations were below the detection limit. For the BaRFlux study area, the differences in Niskin bottle and pump data are most likely from: 1. the biased particle distribution due to sampling a small volume of seawater with Niskin bottles in an area of dilute particle concentration; 2. the greater retention efficiency of picophytoplankton on Niskin GF/F filters than 1-µm in-situ pump microquartz filters.
The compositional changes seen in small suspended particulate pigments over depth is consist with small suspended particles being consumed by shallow water zooplankton and then increasingly altered by microbial activity with increasing depth. The composition of small and large particulate pigments were compared to determine if aggregation-disaggregation was an important process. Larger suspended particulate pigments were nearly 100% Chl-a over depth and distinct from smaller suspended particulate pigments other than samples from May or June, during which particle exchange may be more important. The comparison of particulate pigment data to CTD beam transmissivity profiles suggests that the nepheloid layer consists of small suspended particulate matter rather than large particles.
Sediment trap samples were compositionally enriched in pheopigments relative to smaller bottle and pump samples, indicative of enrichment with more rapidly sinking larger zooplankton fecal pellets. The mole% of chlorophyll-a labile pigment increased with increasing settling velocity, suggesting aggregation may increase the settling velocity of particles enough to escape zooplankton feeding. The particulate pigment composition of seafloor sediment collected in August was compositionally distinct from that of suspended and sinking particulate pigments and was nearly 100% pheophorbide-a, indicating POM degradation by feeding macrobenthos.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 1960s, the inhabitants of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda have serially considered and rejected becoming a sovereign nation. This thesis investigates the extent to which the positions taken by politicians and social commentators, who are involved in the debates concerning independence, are informed by their lived experiences and understandings of the island’s past. Grounded in an analysis of the island’s past, this thesis also investigates how Bermudians have historically defined belonging in the political sphere and public spaces according to ‘race’ and class and how this affects the way in which they interact with each other and regard their relationship with the United Kingdom. The study critically engages with postcolonial theory and asks what the existence of this 21st century colony says about the processes of colonialism and post-colonialism. It also considers how this study fits with other research concerning other remaining Overseas Territories to show the value of conducting in-depth studies of specific societies. By surveying archival documents and conducting interviews a fuller understanding of the political and social development of this island is gained, as viewed by colonial administrators, local government officials, and those who publicly challenged the norms that allowed for social and political inequality on the island. These methods are used to engage with questions of how ideas of self and nation were shaped by segregationist formal education and how this was either reinforced or challenged by what was taught around the kitchen table and in the wider society. It explores how Trade Unionist and the fledgling Progressive Labour Party (PLP) saw a move to independence as part of a wider aim to rectify social injustices. The continuity and change in the debate is then reviewed to see how and the extent to which changes both internally and externally interact with narratives of the past to inform how those involved in the debate imagine the island’s future.
