abstract: ABSTRACT Musicians endure injuries at an alarming rate, largely due to the misuse of their bodies. Musicians move their bodies for a living and therefore should understand how to move them in a healthy way. This paper presents Body Mapping as an injury prevention technique specifically directed toward collaborative pianists. A body map is the self-representation in one's brain that includes information on the structure, function, and size of one's body; Body Mapping is the process of refining one's body map to produce coordinated movement. In addition to preventing injury, Body Mapping provides a means to achieve greater musical artistry through the training of movement, attention, and the senses. With the main function of collaborating with one or more musical partners, a collaborative pianist will have the opportunity to share the knowledge of Body Mapping with many fellow musicians. This study demonstrates the author's credentials as a Body Mapping instructor, the current status of the field of collaborative piano, and the recommendation for increased body awareness. Information on the nature and abundance of injuries and Body Mapping concepts are also analyzed. The study culminates in a course syllabus entitled An Introduction to Collaborative Piano and Body Mapping with the objective of imparting fundamental collaborative piano skills integrated with proper body use. The author hopes to inform educators of the benefits of prioritizing health among their students and to provide a Body Mapping foundation upon which their students can build technique. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Music 2013

Master of Science / Department of Computing and Information Sciences / Mitchell L. Neilsen / It is well recognized that staying fit and healthy is a significant public problem now days and engaging in moderate levels of physical activity and having healthy food is associated with positive outcomes. Many dietary applications are being used at present times, but they don’t include physical activity in their assessment and even if they do so they require user to manually enter the data which gives room for unintentional mistakes. Nutritional wizard is a dietary and nutritional coach that works synchronously with Fitbit data to achieve this. This application analyses the food intake of an individual and automatically inspects this with his physical activity recorded through the Fitbit to give a cover on his health and fitness. The application has four main parts, input food, analysis, profile, and recipes. In input food part, user gives all the details of the food he had on that day and nutritional wizard gives the person’s calorie intake, steps he made on that day, calories spent, excess calories stored, steps he has to still make on that day. Analysis part of the application gives graphical representations of daily calorie intake in a specific time frame given by user. Profile has user’s height and weight based on which BMI of user is calculated and is represented in a Gantt chart showing if he is in low, good or high BMI. Last Recipes module has few recipes categorized into different selections low carb, low fat, and low protein which user can use to decrease his calorie intake. The completely developed app can be used by any user maintaining a fit bit account to provide good nutritional benefits.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta dissertaÃÃo à um estudo sociolÃgico realizado com jovens acometidas por anorexia nervosa, pacientes de um serviÃo mÃdico especializado no tratamento de transtornos alimentares. Com base no depoimento de trÃs jovens, pretende-se apresentar as contradiÃÃes vivenciadas por elas no curso do tratamento mÃdico. Neste estudo investigo como as anorÃxicas produzem um corpo considerado saudÃvel pela ciÃncia mÃdica. Para tanto, conto como principal interlocutor Michel Foucault. A partir de seu conceito de resistÃncia pretendo perceber como as pacientes anorÃxicas produzem suas subjetividades ao negociarem com os saberes mÃdicos e midiÃticos de saÃde, bem-estar e beleza. à ainda interesse deste trabalho compreender como produÃÃo da identidade de gÃnero aparece no processo de renÃncia a um corpo prÃ-pÃbere para assumir um corpo sexualmente maduro. Baseada numa abordagem qualitativa e, especificamente, na prÃtica de pesquisa de campo foi possÃvel observar que a experiÃncia anorÃxica à essencialmente paradoxal. A produÃÃo do corpo anorÃxico em corpo saudÃvel exige recomposiÃÃes entre o desejo de permanecer excessivamente magra e o desejo de ficar boa. A partir dos depoimentos das anorÃxicas à possÃvel afirmar que o transtorno à uma manifestaÃÃo do desacordo entre a tentativa dessas garotas em construir um sentimento de autonomia ao controlar os impulsos alimentares e a impossibilidade de mediar a multiplicidade de discursos sobre saÃde, beleza e dietas ou de eleger apenas um desses discursos como modo de vida / This dissertation is a sociological study about young girls stricken with nervous anorexia attending a medical service that specializes in the treatment of alimentary disorders. Based on cases related by three youths, this work aims at presenting conflicting aspects that those patients had to go through during their medical treatment. It is investigated how anorexic subjects display a body that is considered healthy by medical science. To this end it was engaged as main support the work of Michel Foucault. Based on his concept of resistance, it is sought to unveil how anorexic patients produce their subjectivities in dealing with medical knowledge and information obtained from the media about health, well being and beauty. In the same fashion, this works is interested in discovering how production of genre identity appears in the process of renouncing a prepubescent body in order to adopt a sexually mature body. Based on a qualitative approach, especially from data obtained from field research, it was possible to observe that the anorexic experience is essentially a paradoxical feature. The production of an anorexic body into a healthy body requires rearrangements going from the will of keeping an excessively slender figure and the desire of obtaining cure. Based on statements from anorexic subjects it is possible to assert that the disorder is both a manisfestation of disagreement presented by these girls in their attempt at building a feeling of autonomy by reining their feeding drives and the plentiful offer of discourses about health, beauty and diets in order to elect just one of these discourses as their guidance to a way of life

(anglický) The presented master's thesis focuses on the visual representation of the natural and cultivated female body, responding to the hygienic, eugenic and aesthetic requirements of the newly created state. In addition to strengthening the modern national identity, it was to form and represent a positive image of the new womanhood that resulted in the project of a civilized woman in the late 1920s. The new social arrangement required a new type of modern man, and therefore also of a woman. Within it, two seemingly unrelated areas merged - science and visual culture, which pursued to define the ideal of the modern female body: beautiful, healthy, morally and aesthetically appealing. The image of a woman doing sports became the emblem of the newly formed republic. The female body gained added aesthetic value, it became a new ornament and communicative sign, infiltrating into the visual culture beginning with advertising and culminating in fine arts. We focus on the role of modern dance and the personality of Milča Mayerová, a prominent First Republic dancer and symbol of a modern woman, who reflected the changing requirements of the time with her visual representation and publishing activities. Key words (anglický) Body, modernity, womanhood, new woman, visual culture, visual representation,...
