The creative process offers me an escape and tranquility worthy of sharing. When creating art, I reflect on the people, places, and things that move me. I convey my frame of mind through the brush to the canvas. The result is intense strokes of color that deliver clarity of emotion for others to experience. The intention of my work is to share a world that satisfies the eyes, mind, and soul. There is something about each piece that I hope will keep the viewer returning to absorb, contemplate, and enjoy.

SOMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FEMALE FIGURE SKATERS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to find out specific somatic characteristics and somatotypes of female figure skaters in the Czech Republic. Subsequently relationships between measured somatic characteristics and normative of general population, and relationships between actual data and previous studies of female figure skaters are being examined. Methods: We use somatometric measurements to determine selected somatic characteristics (weight, height, eg.). We use the Heath-Carter method of somatotyping. Results: Female figure skaters are smaller than general population of the same age. In terms of physical height, one half of figure skaters is above population average while second half is under the average of population. Female figure skaters in this study are taller and heavier than figure skaters in previous study (Šelingerová, 1988) and they are more endomorphic. Prevailing somatotype is mesomorphic endomorph. Keywords: figure skating, somatic characteristics, somatotype, Heath-Carter method

Koffi Kwahulé est l'héritier d'une culture littéraire, artistique et théâtrale ivoirienne.Exilé en France depuis trente ans, son écriture s'élabore dans une tensiontransatlantique et se veut constitutive d'une mythologie contemporaine, féminine etnoire. L'ambition rhapsodique de cette dramaturgie est de déconstruire, à travers lavoix et la violence de puissantes figures féminines héritées des personnagesarchétypiques du Théâtre Ivoirien, tant le drame classique que les représentationshistoriques et culturelles qui gangrènent les relations internationales. Les figuresféminines en Belles de jazz donnent le tempo à cette dramaturgie qui comme le ThéâtreNoir nord-américain du milieu du siècle dernier, développe une rhétorique du jazz aucoeur de la mythologie de l'auteur. / Koffi Kwahulé inherited from the Ivorian literary, artistic and theatrical culture.However, as he has been living in exile in France for thirty years, a transatlantictension pervades his writing and thus creates a contemporary black femininemythology. The voices and violence of powerful female figures that mirror archetypesin Ivorian Theatre, create a rhapsody dimension in this dramaturgy, which is aimed atdeconstructing the classical drama and the historical and cultural representations thatcorrupt international relations. Female figures in Belles de Jazz give the dramaturgyits tempo and make it develop into a jazz rhetorics deeply rooted into the author's ownmythology, similar to mid-twentieth century Afro American theatre.

Esta pesquisa pretende examinar as articulações e tensões entre o narrativo e o sensorial no cinema, trazendo como fio condutor, entre as convenções do narrativo e a imediaticidade do sensorial, o personagem cinematográfico. Entendemos que, sem abandonar as condições narrativas e representacionais que o produzem e definem (personagem-pessoa), o personagem de cinema é também um importante catalisador de afetos que agenciam memória e imaginação (personagem-figura) e, de modo mais substancial, um efeito produzido a partir de elementos concretos que se manifestam em termos de performatividade e de plasticidade (personagem-presença). Dessa forma, investindo numa reformulação da noção de personagem como \"efeito de personagem\" e explorando disjunções possíveis entre corpo, ator e personagem (sobretudo em filmes nos quais vários atores desempenham o mesmo papel ou, ao contrário, um mesmo ator desempenha diversos papéis), buscaremos fazer do personagem um instrumento privilegiado para a análise da complementariedade e dos eventuais atritos entre as dimensões narrativa (significação/interpretação), figural (sensação) e material (percepção) do cinema. / This research intends to investigate the tensions and articulations between the narrative and the sensorial in the cinema, having the film character as a guiding thread caught amongst the conventions of the narrative and the immediacy of the sensorial. We will argue that the film character is not only defined and conditioned by its narrative and representational implications (character-person), it is also an important catalyst of affects that stimulate our memory and imagination (characterfigure), and more substantially, an effect generated by concrete elements that often manifest themselves in terms of performativity and plasticity (character-presence). By reformulating the notion of character as \"character effect\" and exploring possible disjunctions between body, actor, and character (especially in films in which several actors play the same role, or on the contrary, the same actor plays several roles), we will advance the character as a privileged instrument for the analysis of the frictions and the complementarity of the narrative (signification/interpretation), the figural (sensation), and the material (perception) dimensions of the cinema.

O Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) é um distúrbio bastante referido tanto na área da saúde quanto na área da educação, podendo resultar em inúmeros problemas presentes e futuros para seus portadores. A literatura apresenta variados fatores etiológicos para o desenvolvimento do transtorno, havendo certo consenso de que o problema se deve a uma predisposição genéticaque pode seatualizar em função de estímulos docontexto ambiental. O TDAH inclui sintomas de desatenção, agitação e impulsividade que ocorrem em frequência e intensidade inadequadas à faixa etária dos sujeitos, sendo diagnosticado, geralmente,por meio de escalas comportamentais a serem respondidas por familiares e/ou professores, as quais podem ou não ser acompanhadas de testes (neuro)psicológicos, além de observação do comportamento da criança. O teste do Desenho da Figura Humana(DFH)tem sido um dos instrumentos mais utilizados por psicólogos, tanto para analisar aspectos cognitivosquanto elementos da personalidadedo executor do desenho. Dessa forma, por meio de uma comparação do desempenho no referido teste entre crianças diagnosticadas e não diagnosticadas com o transtorno, este trabalho tevecomo objetivo identificar possíveis traços indicadores da presença do TDAH nos desenhos das crianças portadoras do transtorno, visando àobtenção de mais um recurso que possa auxiliar psicólogos na execução de um diagnóstico mais confiável para o TDAH. Participaram do estudo 20crianças, alunas do1º. Ciclo do Ensino Fundamental, divididas em Grupo Clínico, composto por 10crianças diagnosticadas como sendo portadoras de TDAH, e Grupo Controle, composto por 10crianças com idade, sexo, escolaridade e nível socioeconômicoequivalentes, porém que nãoapresentavam o problema. Após ambos os grupos serem submetidos ao DFH, análises comparativas do nível de maturidade cognitiva e dos indicadores emocionais,bem como de aspectos gerais dos desenhos dos participantes (tamanho, traçado), foramefetuadas, de modo a verificar a existência ou não de diferenças significativas entre os grupos.Os resultados obtidos sugerem um desempenho mais baixo dos portadores de TDAHem termos de maturidade cognitiva, bem como maior presença de indicadores emocionaise de problemas de coordenação motora no grupo clínico, embora sem atingir significância estatística. Sugere-se a necessidade de ampliação da amostra a fim de que se possa obter resultados mais conclusivos a respeito da possibilidade de uso do DFH como instrumento auxiliar no diagnóstico do TDAH / Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that is very much referred to in the health area as well as in the area of education, which can result in numerous present and future problems for the subjects. The literature presents a variety of etiological factors for the development of the disorder, with some consensus that the problem is due to a genetic predisposition that can be updated in function of stimuli of the environmental context. ADHD includes symptoms of inattention, agitationand impulsivity that occur in frequency and intensity that are inappropriate for the subject\'s age group and are usually diagnosed through behavioral scales to be answered by family members and / or teachers, which may or may not be followed by(neuro) psychological tests, as well as observation of the child\'s behavior. The Human Figure Drawing test (HFD) has been one of the instruments most used by psychologists, both to analyze cognitive aspects and personality elements of the executor of the drawing. Thus, through a comparison of performance in HFDtest between children diagnosed and undiagnosed with the disorder, this study aimed to identify possible indicative traits of the presence of ADHD in the drawings of children with the disorder, aiming to obtain an additional resource that can help psychologists to execute a more reliable diagnosis for ADHD. The participants of the research were20 children, students from the 1st. Elementary School Cycle, divided into a Clinical Group, composed of 10 children diagnosed as having ADHD, and Control Group, composed of 10 children with age, sex, education and socioeconomic level, but who did not present the problem. After both groups were submitted to HFD, comparative analyzes of the level of cognitive maturity and emotional indicators, as well as general aspects of the participants\' drawings (size, tracing), were performed, in order to verify the existence or not of significant differences between groups. The results suggest a lower performance of the ADHD patients in terms of cognitive maturity, as well as greater presence of emotional indicators and poor manual coordination in the clinical group, although not reaching statistical significance. We suggest the need to expand the sample in order to obtain more conclusive results regarding the possibility of using HFD as an auxiliary tool in the diagnosis of ADHD
