Não apenas sob a forma tradicional, com cantadores improvisando nas praças, feiras livres ou congressos, porém, também, com uma roupagem visivelmente moderna, ressaltada pelo movimento Mangue Beat, com a utilização do rap e do som dos tambores que, inegavelmente, contribuíram, não apenas para o repentismo, contudo para a introdução de uma nova vertente na música popular. Embora esta arte, hoje, viva um momento de transfiguração em diversas modalidades, a presença feminina1, enquanto produtora desse fenômeno, é quase desconhecida. Sabe-se da existência de no mínimo vinte mulheres atuantes nessa área e apenas cinco têm registro em fita, vinil ou compact-disc. Obviamente, não se pode admirar da quase ausência dos registros dessas artistas, dada a situação de enclasuramento vivido pela mulher durante anos, a falta de recursos, o desconhecimento das gravadoras, dentre outros. Apesar de tudo e todos, elas tentam superar os obstáculos, desafiam a ordem social que as restringe à esfera doméstica, subvertem o universo tradicionalmente masculino e seguem versando com suas métricas perfeitas que nada deixam a desejar a muito velho cantador. A intenção da presente dissertação é trazer à baila vozes femininas no repente, desde o século dezenove. No todo, estudam-se obras de algumas poetisas repentistas e tenta-se mostrar como estas tematizam a infância, o amor e o contexto social. Observam-se ainda os artifícios utilizados pelas cantadoras para tentar transgredir as leis que lhes proíbem o acesso ao mundo da cantoria. Por essa ótica, discute-se sobre a predominância masculina no universo do improviso e suas conseqüências. Assim, este estudo é um esforço de um registro plural e histórico, que no mínimo, contribuirá com a tentativa de repensar preconceitos sexistas e disseminar o fenômeno das mulheres de repente

The purpose of this study was as follows: 1. To determine if the recovery heart rate of ice hockey players is affected by elevation of the legs; 2. To determine the subjective recovery time and to calculate the correlation between subjective and objective recovery times; 3. To determine the heart rate at four and one-half minutes after exercise. Eight of an initial twelve members of the University of British Columbia Varsity Ice Hockey Team, ranging in age from twenty to twenty-seven years, participated in the study. Age, weight, height and position played were obtained for all subjects. Through radio telemetry, in conjunction with an electrocardioscribe and a heart rate monitor, the following data was obtained: a) resting heart rate b) terminal heart rate c) recovery heart rate d) recovery half-time e) post-exercise recovery rate f) subjective recovery time Each subject was required to skate six times: three trials as a control subject, which recovered in normal sitting position, and three times as an experimental subject, which recovered in the recumbent position with the legs raised on a bench twenty inches high. Reliability measurements performed using the Pearson Product-Moment Method resulted in an r = 0.420 for resting heart rates, and an r = 0.649 for terminal heart rates. A correlation between recovery half-times and the subjective recovery times for each of the six trials was calculated. A "t" test for correlated samples was performed between the means of the trials of the control group and between the means of the trials of the experimental group recovery half-times. A "t" test was then performed to determine the significance of the difference between the mean of the means of the recovery half-times of the control and experimental groups. A t value of 2.79, significant at the .05 level of confidence was found. Finally a test of significance was performed on the post-exercise recovery heart rates of the control and experimental groups. On the basis of the statistical analysis and with respect to the small sample studied, the following conclusions appear warranted: 1. Elevation of the legs significantly reduced the recovery time at the .05 level of confidence. 2. The reliabilities of resting and terminal heart rates were too low to be of significant value. 3. The subjects were not able to predict, with any degree of accuracy, when they had recovered sufficiently to begin another skating period. 4. Elevation of the legs and normal sitting produced no significant difference in the heart rates at the end of the four and one-half minute recovery period. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

A project assessing the Rare Book Collection’s holdings of the English-language monographs of Beat Generation poet and author Gregory Corso. Includes an overview of the Beat Generation and Corso’s role in it, a brief history of the Rare Book Collection’s Beat Generation collection, and a discussion of the role and purpose of collection analysis. Includes also an original bibliography of Corso’s monographs, compiled for the purpose of the study.

Time has changed. The police can no longer take it for granted that they can conduct ¡§household investigation¡¨ simply on the basis of the 9th article of Police Law. After lifting of the martial law in July 15, 1987, Taiwan government observed its constitution and instituted a new system, Police House Visitation Practice, by the Interior Ministry to continue the practice of monitoring its citizenry. However, the 5th and 6th articles of this law which stipulated the citizens¡¦ obligations and penalties were apparently in violation of a higher law, Administrative Procedure Law. In particular they are against the 150th and the 158th articles of Administrative Procedure Law which maintains that acts or regulations should have their bases on law and should not against the spirit of this law (150th article) and these acts and regulation should be nullified if they have no basis of law and they infringe the rights and freedom of movement of its citizenry (158th article). Based on these principles, the 9th article of Police Act was therefore abolished by the Interior Ministry in October 31, 2000. In July of 2007, the 1st item of the 11th article of Police Operation Practice was amended and specifies that: ¡§The Interior Ministry should stipulate the policies for police officers in their beats to visit households, to provide service, to investigate and to maintain the social order.¡¨ The 60-year practice of police ¡§household investigation¡¨ becomes a history. Household investigation is no long the main theme of police activities, instead other major functions such as crime prevention, service and social security survey are the main focuses of police operations. This study examines and evaluates the soundness of police beat investigation from the perspectives of the basic theories of administrative law including five (5) major frameworks of administration: principles, organizations, authorities, remedies and supervision. This study also seeks to identify the potential problems and discuss the feasible remedies for any deficiency of this act. And finally policymakers can make good use of the findings and recommendations of this study to enact sound police polices to promote and protect the well-being of their constituents.
