This thesis aims to explore the image of women in Bai Juyi’s (772-846) poetry with a narratological approach. It selects 108 of Bai’s poems about women as the research objects and divides them into two main categories: the poems written in a male voice and those written in a female voice. A total of 24 poems are examined as examples. Chapter one serves as a general introduction to the research background, providing information about the poet and the tradition of Chinese poetry. Chapter two outlines two narrative concepts, “narrator” and “focalization”. Also, it explores the image of women in the 14 example poems written in a male voice. Chapter three includes 10 example poems written in a female voice, investigating the differences between the image of women created in the male and female voices. This study finds that the use of the female voice presents the female characters’ thoughts and feelings to the reader and allows the reader to empathize with them easily. / Graduate

O primeiro artigo, define infertilidade, suas causas e tratamentos atualmente disponíveis e analisa aspectos emocionais do paciente infértil em tratamento. As alterações psicológicas mais associadas nesses pacientes são a ansiedade e depressão e alguns aspectos tem sido identificados como influenciadores no surgimento desses transtornos. São abordados no artigo entre outros, o tempo de tratamento, expectativas dos pacientes em relação às probabilidades de sucesso, diferenças entre sexos na experiência da infertilidade, a existência ou não de uma rede de apoio provendo suporte social e diferenças culturais. Relações entre estes aspectos são realizadas e sugestões feitas para novas pesquisas na área. O segundo artigo apresentado relaciona o tratamento da infertilidade com duas alterações psicológicas, depressão e ansiedade, analisando a importância do suporte social para diminuição da severidade dos sintomas. Através da aplicação de três instrumentos, Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI), Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (BAI) e Escala de Suporte Social, os níveis de depressão, ansiedade e suporte social foram acessados numa amostra de 148 sujeitos em tratamento para infertilidade. Correlacionando os dados dos três testes aplicados encontramos uma correlação significativa apenas entre os testes da Escala de Beck. Hipóteses para os achados são desenvolvidas no artigo empírico.

Bai Xian-yong is one of the most important contemporary writers. His works deeply and emotionally discussed changes in national history, sexual conflicts, homesickness for a foreign country, difference between Chinese and Western culture , etc. With love and care, the soul of the novels is established by the thoughts and feelings of the characters he created. The artistic energy and moving strength coming from his novels explain why his works play an important role in the literary world. First, this paper begins with the motivation of this thesis and the review of related papers. Through the reviews, we can seek more opportunities to support our study. Second, we start to analyze the main ideas and writing skills of ¡§Dream of the Red Chamber¡¨ which greatly affected Bai Xianyong's writings to find out the principles to classify male characters in his novels. Continued from previous discussion, after male characters are distinguished by their attitudes toward ideality, we explore their behaviors to find out the meaning and implication of why Bai created these roles. Next, we discuss those characters¡¦ changes or resistance when they feel depressed with the ideal and the reality of the conflicts. Furthermore, we find that the roles of husband and father in Bai Xianyong's novels reveal his dissatisfaction with the social system at that time, sympathy with homosexuals and care for women. Finally, the meaning of male roles in Bai Xianyong's works is summarized. By analyzing and discoursing the way he builds up the images of the male roles, his great contributions to modern literature are clearly presented.

Simulations of tree rings from trees of undisturbed forest sites are used to describe natural, long-term width trends. Ring-width trends of canopy-sized white oak are simulated from regressions of BAI (ring area) data of real trees. Examples are given of a tree from a typical re-growth forest in Illinois and of a more slowly growing tree from an old-growth forest in Kentucky. The long-term width trend was simulated as being toward constant ring width regardless of growth rate of the tree. Conditions by which either increasing or decreasing ring-width trends could be simulated from the same linear BAI trend are examined. I conclude that curvilinear width trends, either increasing or decreasing, represent width adjustments to changes in growth rate (BAI trend) after which the width trend stabilizes to a near-constant value. Interpretation of ring-width trends of trees from undisturbed stands may be useful in assessing stand disturbance history.
