This paper addresses the crucial need for comprehensive guidance in repertoire selection and technical development for pre-collegiate collaborative pianists. By compiling an annotated repertoire list, this research aims to assist teachers and pianists in navigating the developmental stages of collaborative piano work. The guide focuses on establishing foundational skills and techniques necessary for effective collaboration with various instruments, emphasizing the pianist's role as a musical partner. Drawing from the University Interscholastic League (UIL) list, the repertoire choices span a range of musical styles and periods, ensuring a balanced progression of difficulty. The paper talks about essential collaborative piano techniques, including hand and wrist position, physical coordination, listening, voicing, balance, pedaling, and breathing, providing a comprehensive overview to aid in successful ensemble performances. Each piece in the repertoire list is accompanied by detailed performance notes, addressing both pianistic and ensemble considerations. Additionally, the difficulty levels of the compositions are assessed with reference to established pedagogical literature. By offering a structured approach to repertoire selection and technical development, this annotated guide serves as a valuable resource for pre-collegiate collaborative pianists and their instructors, facilitating their growth and proficiency in collaborative music-making.

L’identité en crise est le thème majeur des romans d’Isabelle Hausser, particulièrement dans les quatre romans suivants : ‘’Les magiciens de l’âme’’, ‘’Une comédie familiale’’, ‘’La table des enfants’’ et ‘’Le passage des ombres’’. Dans l’univers romanesque de cet auteur, les héros s’interrogent en permanence non seulement sur l’identité de leur entourage mais aussi sur la leur. Ils sont tombés dans une situation angoissante et très perturbée dans laquelle ils découvrent la destruction irrésistible de leur ancienne image d’eux-mêmes, celle dont ils ne doutaient jamais. A partir de ce moment là, la confiance dans l’unité de soi n’existe plus pour ces personnages. Plus que jamais, face à un monde instable et plein de doutes, ces hommes de notre temps ne ‘’sauront jamais toute la vérité’’. Ils sont condamnés à vivre avec la remise en question des certitudes. Alors, l’homme moderne devient parfois pitoyable et mélancolique. D’ailleurs, dans ses romans, Isabelle Hausser souligne remarquablement le processus de la prise de conscience par ses personnages de leur crise identitaire. Elle esquisse aussi l’espoir qu’ils ont de connaître un peu leur identité à travers l’amitié, la musique, et elle suggère une attitude raisonnable : accepter la vie telle qu’elle est. Cette idée pourrait être considérée comme une marque de sagesse dans l’œuvre mélancolique d’Isabelle Hausser. / The identity crisis is one of the major themes in the novels of Isabelle Hausser, particularly in these four novels '' The magicians of the soul'','' A family comedy'','' The kids' table’ 'and ''The passage of the shadows''. In the fictional universe of the author, her characters are continuously questioning both their identity and the world around them. They fall into a distressing situation and are upset when they discover the inevitable demolition of their former self-image, which they had never doubted before. From this moment, the confidence of these characters no longer exists. People face an unstable world full of doubts where they “will never know the whole truth” and they must live with “the knowledge that they have not understood”. So they become sometimes pitiful and melancholy. Moreover, in her novels, Isabelle Hausser remarkably emphasizes the process of understanding in her characters their identity crisis and the hope of recognizing their identity through friendship, music and especially the attitude of accepting life as it is. This idea could be considered as a little wisdom in the melancholy novels of Isabelle Hausser.

RESUMÉ Legal status of an Arbitrator Arbitration especially in 20th century developed into a fully qualified alternative instead of solving property disputes by means of general Courts. It is necessary to point out that the aspects which differ it from civil process and frequently targets of polemics. Even though the development of the arbitration in the Czech Republic has been considerable in the last decade and both general Courts and Constitution Court has responded with sufficient intensity, there are still some areas of unstable arbitration. Arbitration comes with considerable amount of advantages in comparison with general Courts, but also it brings some topics which are often criticized. That is often caused by a specific point of view not regarding every aspect. In arbitration there is a possibility to influence composition of arbitrary forum, which is a typical example of problems coming from different adaptations. This adaptation is absolutely different from the one of trials, where on the contrary there is the rule of regular judge, which is warranted by exact definition of the matter, place and function. In arbitration both parties to a contract are allowed to choose an arbitrator regarding his qualification, specialization, professional skills and reputation which is an advantage for the...

Information about the mineral and organic fractions of coal, through a series of analytical characterization techniques are essential for its sustainable use. In this study, the content of mineral matter (MM) in Brazilian coal, was obtained from the ash content of medium temperature (300?C, 400?C and 370?C) and low temperature (<200?C) with oxygen plasma (LTA) with the purpose to isolate the MM without the changes caused by high temperatures (775?C) and analyze it without the interference caused by organic matter. Due to environmental problems caused by sulfur in the coal, peroxidation was evaluated as a desulfurization process and estimation of the contents of sulfur forms in coals. The results shows that the percentage of MM obtained at 300?C and LTA are approximately 8 to 17% higher than ash contents obtained at high temperatures. The process of peroxidation in hydrochloric acid media showed to be a technique that can be applied to the desulfurization of coal by removal of 86% to 98% of pyritic sulfur. The concentration of sulphate in the extracts can be used to predict the total sulfur (&#8804; 14% error) for samples with lower relative levels of organic sulfur (<30% Stotal). The sum of the pyritic and sulfate sulfur can also be estimated from the levels of dissolved sulfate, with errors less than 14% for most of the coals studied. Measurements of iron content gives an indication of the amount of pyrite present, with an error of ?12%. / O carv?o brasileiro apresenta em m?dia 50% de cinzas e elevados teores de enxofre sendo normalmente classificado como de baixo rank. A obten??o de informa??es sobre as fra??es mineral e carbonosa do carv?o, atrav?s de uma s?rie de t?cnicas anal?ticas de caracteriza??o ? indispens?vel para o seu uso sustent?vel. Neste estudo o conte?do de mat?ria mineral (MM), em carv?es brasileiros, foi obtido do teor de cinzas a m?dia temperatura (300?C, 370oC e 400?C) e baixa temperatura (<200?C) com plasma de oxig?nio (LTA) com o intuito de isolar a MM sem as transforma??es provocadas por altas temperaturas (775?C) e analis?-la sem a interfer?ncia provocada pela mat?ria carbonosa. Devido aos problemas ambientais causados pelo enxofre presente no carv?o, a peroxida??o foi avaliada como um processo de dessulfuriza??o e estimativa dos teores das formas de enxofre em carv?es. Os resultados mostraram que os teores de MM obtidos a 300?C e LTA s?o em m?dia de 8 a 17% maiores que os teores de cinzas obtidos a altas temperaturas. O processo de peroxida??o em meio ?cido clor?drico mostrou ser uma t?cnica adequada na dessulfuriza??o do carv?o com remo??es de 86% a 98% do enxofre pir?tico. A medida da concentra??o de sulfato presente nos extratos pode ser usada na previs?o do enxofre total (erros &#8804; 14%) para amostras com menores teores relativos de enxofre org?nico (<30% Stotal). O somat?rio dos teores de enxofre pir?tico e sulf?tico podem tamb?m ser estimados ? partir dos teores de sulfato dissolvidos, com erros menores que 14% para a maioria dos carv?es estudados. As medidas de teores de ferro dissolvido podem ser utilizadas na estimativa da quantidade de enxofre pir?tico presente, com erro de ? 12%.

However, little has been studied about the spatial distribution of human capital in Brazil and its ability to act as a locational factor for economic activities. To fill this gap, this study proposes the creation of a multidimensional measure of qualitative human capital through Factor Analysis techniques, in addition to using a usual proxy for the quantitative aspect. Thus, it is possible to accompany the accumulation of human capital stock of the population from childhood to adulthood, either in qualitative or quantitative terms. This study is divided in two essays. In the first, the human capital measures were elaborated and a spatial analysis of the stock of quantitative and qualitative human capital was performed in Brazil, at the level of 558 micro-regions between 2009 and 2014. The results allow to draw the distribution map of human capital in the country, suggesting the existence of strong regional disparities: the South and Southeast regions present high quantity associated with high quality; North and Northeast, generally, present lower stocks in quantitative and qualitative aspects, although some micro-regions present high level of quantity that is not accompanied by increased quality; and Midwest presents intermediates and high levels of quantity, while the quality is only intermediate. Therefore, locations with a high quantity of human capital do not necessarily display a higher standard of quality (vice versa). Throughout the analyzed period, there occurred a slight improvement of the human capital?s levels in the country, especially in the quantitative aspect. In the second essay, through a spatial econometric model with panel data between 2009 and 2014 for 254 micro-regions of the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, a study supported on locational models for tertiary sector by level of intensity in knowledge was applied. This methodology allows us to identify the importance of different aspects of human capital in attracting economic activities: the quality of human capital is a locational factor for superior services (knowledge-intensive), while the quantitative aspect attracts both superior (intensive) and traditional services (non-knowledge-intensive). / Estudos recentes sugerem que disparidades regionais relativas ? qualidade do capital humano s?o importantes para explicar diferentes desempenhos de crescimento econ?mico. Entretanto, pouco tem sido estudado sobre a distribui??o espacial do capital humano no Brasil e sua capacidade de atuar como um fator locacional para as atividades econ?micas. Para preencher essa lacuna, nesta disserta??o, prop?e-se a cria??o de uma medida multidimensional de capital humano qualitativo atrav?s de t?cnicas de An?lise Fatorial, al?m de utilizar uma proxy usual para o aspecto quantitativo. Dessa forma, ? poss?vel acompanhar a acumula??o do estoque de capital humano da popula??o desde a inf?ncia at? a idade adulta, seja em termos qualitativos ou quantitativos. A disserta??o ? dividida em dois ensaios. No primeiro, constroem-se as medidas de capital humano e realiza-se uma an?lise espacial do estoque de capital humano em termos quantitativo e qualitativo no Brasil, em n?vel de 558 microrregi?es entre 2009 e 2014. Os resultados permitem desenhar o mapa de distribui??o do capital humano no territ?rio nacional, sugerindo a exist?ncia de fortes disparidades regionais: as regi?es Sul e Sudeste apresentam elevada quantidade associada ? alta qualidade; Norte e Nordeste, em geral, apresentam estoques inferiores em termos quantitativos e qualitativos, embora algumas microrregi?es possuam maior quantidade que n?o ? acompanhada pelo acr?scimo da qualidade; e Centro-Oeste apresenta n?veis intermedi?rios e altos de quantidade, enquanto a qualidade ? apenas intermedi?ria. Portanto, n?o necessariamente as localidades com alta quantidade de capital humano apresentam tamb?m elevada qualidade (vice-versa). Do ponto de vista de mudan?as ao longo do per?odo, em geral, verifica-se que ocorreu uma leve melhoria dos n?veis de capital humano no pa?s, principalmente no aspecto quantitativo. No segunso ensaio, atrav?s de um modelo econom?trico espacial com dados em painel, entre 2009 e 2014, para as 254 microrregi?es das Regi?es Sul e Sudeste do Brasil, aplica-se um estudo amparado em modelos locacionais para o setor de servi?os por n?vel de intensidade em conhecimento intr?nseco. Essa metodologia permite identificar a import?ncia de diferentes aspectos do capital humano para a atra??o das atividades econ?micas: verifica-se que a qualidade do capital humano ? um fator locacional para empresas de servi?os superiores (intensivos em conhecimento), enquanto o aspecto quantitativo atrai tanto os servi?os superiores (intensivos) como os tradicionais (n?o intensivos em conhecimento).

This Master's degree thesis addresses the issue of "The custody of underage children and the right to be in contact with them." The main attention is paid to the Czech legal instruments concerning the protection of underage children whose parents are getting divorced or do not live together. The thesis deals with the historical Czech legal development as well as the relevant legislation in force, different types of post-divorce care of children, their contact with both parents and other family members. A special emphasis is placed on the established practice of courts as well as relevant key judgments of the Czech Supreme Court and the Czech Constitutional Court. In comparison to the Czech legislation is described also the Slovak divorce regulation. Furthermore, relevant alterations introduced by the new Civil Code coming into effect on 1 January 2014 are considered. Due to the personal and emotional nature of family law relationships, the thesis discusses also the psychological impact of divorce on children and their parent's behavior. These are important especially for judges, social workers, mediators and family law lawyers. The thesis is composed of the following eight chapters: Introduction; Dissolution of Marriage; Award of Custody of Children; Contact with Children; Slovak legal regulation of...

For the purposes of this thesis, I can say that the educational work that I have addressed represents 'informal education' in that it is oriented towards transforming gendered power relations and shares the basic methodological principle building analytically and practically upon, the experiential knowledge of the learners themselves. The discussion is based on a detailed study of informal and incidental learning that takes place in Baltistan. Research presented in this thesis seeks to show that with women acting as men's equals rather than as mere auxiliaries, greater victories in the fight against poverty and deprivation may be won. Rather than being unwilling to participate in the development process, women are prevented from playing a full role in the political lives of their communities. The women of Baltistan do have an embryonic understanding of power, powerlessness, and how the two interact to prevent action upon injustices. In order to understand and realize the value of such learning in struggle I have made an attempt to expose such learning through various case studies. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Para tanto, considerou-se quatro cen?rios para a an?lise do projeto: cen?rio I - madeira colhida e sem tributos, cen?rio II - madeira colhida e com tributos, cen?rio III - madeira em p? e sem tributos e cen?rio IV ? madeira em p? e com tributos, em um horizonte de planejamento de sete anos. A taxa de desconto utilizada foi de 8,75% a.a., produ??o de 228 m?/ha e o pre?o da madeira de R$ 85,00/m? para a madeira colhida e de R$ 60,00/m? para a madeira em p?. Foram analisadas onze esp?cies tribut?rias: Taxa florestal (TF), Taxa de cadastro e registro (TCR), Contribui??o social para financiamento da seguridade social (COFINS), Contribui??o social para o programa de integra??o social (PIS), Contribui??o social do instituto nacional do seguro social (INSS), Contribui??o social sobre o lucro l?quido (CSSL), Contribui??o social do fundo de garantia por tempo de servi?o (FGTS), Imposto de renda da pessoa jur?dica (IRPJ), Imposto sobre a propriedade territorial rural (ITR), Taxa de controle e fiscaliza??o ambiental (TCFA) Taxa de controle e fiscaliza??o ambiental do estado de Minas Gerais (TCFAMG). Realizou-se a avalia??o econ?mica mediante os seguinte crit?rios: Valor Presente L?quido (VPL), Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR), Valor Anual Equivalente (VAE) e Raz?o Benef?cio Custo (B/C). Para an?lise de risco utilizou-se a t?cnica de simula??o de Monte Carlo. Os resultados indicaram uma carga tribut?ria de 20,71% para a madeira colhida e 20,46% para a madeira em p? e os custos tribut?rios compreenderam 22% e 29% dos custos totais, respectivamente. Os tributos que mais influenciaram o VPL foram a TF, INSS e COFINS na comercializa??o da madeira colhida e TF, COFINS e INSS na venda de madeira em p?. A TF foi o tributo que mais impactou o projeto, respons?vel por 5,73% (madeira colhida) e 8,11% (madeira em p?) da carga tribut?ria total. O projeto se tornou invi?vel economicamente quando se consideraram os custos tribut?rios, apresentando VPL de R$ -2.025,35/ha para o cen?rio II e R$ - 389,42/ha para o cen?rio IV. A venda de madeira em tora apresentou alto risco de investimento, no momento em que os tributos foram considerados, para ambas comercializa??es. O risco de se obter VPL igual ou inferior a zero foi de 86,5% (venda de madeira colhida) e 63,1% (venda de madeira em p?). / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Therefore, it was considered four scenarios for analysis of the project: Scenario I - harvested timber and without taxes, scenery II - wood harvested and taxes, scenario III - standing timber and without taxes and scenario IV - standing timber and taxes on a planning horizon of seven years. The discount rate used was 8.75% per year, production of 228 m? / ha and the price of wood R $ 85.00 / m? for timber harvested and R $ 60.00 / m? for standing timber . eleven tax species were analyzed: Forest Fee (TF), registration fee and register (TCR), Social Contribution to Social Security Financing (COFINS), social contribution to the social integration program (PIS), Social Contribution from the National Institute of social security (INSS), social contribution on net income (CSLL), social contribution of the guarantee fund for length of service (FGTS), the corporate income tax (CIT), tax on rural property (ITR) rate control and environmental monitoring (TCFA) control rate and environmental monitoring of the state of Minas Gerais (TCFAMG). There was the economic evaluation by the following criteria: Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Equivalent Annual Value (EAV) and Reason Benefit Cost (B / C). For risk analysis used the Monte Carlo simulation technique. The results indicated a tax rate of 20.71% for harvested wood and 20.46% for stumpage and tax costs comprised 22% and 29% of total costs, respectively. The taxes that most influenced the VPL were TF, INSS and COFINS on the sale of timber harvested and TF, Cofins and INSS in the sale of standing timber. The TF was the tribute that most impacted the project, accounting for 5.73% (harvested wood) and 8.11% (stumpage) of the total tax burden. The project became uneconomical when considering tax costs, with NPV of R $ -2,025.35 / ha for the stage II and R $ - 389.42 / ha for the stage IV. The sale of timber in logs showed high investment risk, at the time the taxes were considered for both trades. The risk of obtaining NPV less than or equal to zero was 86.5% (the sale of timber harvested) and 63.1% (standing timber sale).

Estas ?ltimas consistem em taludes com altura de at? 40 metros e inclina??o variando de 30o a 90o com a horizontal. Assim, esta disserta??o teve como objetivo a avalia??o da estabilidade da fal?sia da Ponta do Pirambu em Tibau do Sul/RN, e a realiza??o de um estudo param?trico sobre a estabilidade de uma fal?sia homog?nea considerando como vari?veis a coes?o do material, a altura da fal?sia e a inclina??o do talude. O estudo na Ponta do Pirambu considerou ainda a possibilidade da exist?ncia de uma cobertura coluvionar com espessura variando de 0,50 a 5,00 metros. As an?lises foram realizadas pelo m?todo de Bishop, utilizando o programa GEO5. Na an?lise param?trica foram produzidos gr?ficos que relacionam altura da fal?sia com a inclina??o, para fatores de seguran?a iguais a 1,00 e 1,50; al?m de gr?ficos onde ? poss?vel obter facilmente o menor fator de seguran?a a partir da coes?o, altura da fal?sia e sua inclina??o. Concluiu-se que esses gr?ficos s?o muito ?teis para an?lises preliminares, para a defini??o de ?reas cr?ticas em mapeamentos de riscos em ?reas de fal?sias e para determina??o de uma equa??o para obten??o do menor fator de seguran?a em fun??o dos par?metros de resist?ncia e da geometria de um talude. Em rela??o ? fal?sia da Ponta do Pirambu, os resultados mostraram que a fal?sia est? sujeita a deslizamentos superficiais localizados nos pontos onde pode haver a presen?a do col?vio com espessuras superiores a dois metros. Entretanto, a fal?sia se mant?m est?vel, apresentando fator de seguran?a global igual ou superior a 2,50 na condi??o saturada. / The coastline from Rio Grande do Norte state is characterized for the presence of dunes and cliffs. The latter consist of slopes with height up to 40 meters and inclinations ranging from 30? to 90? wich horizontal. Thus, this dissertation had as objective the evaluation of the stability of cliff from Ponta do Pirambu in Tibau do Sul/RN, and the realization of a parametric study on the stability of a homogeneous cliff considering as variables the material's cohesion, the cliff height and the slope inclination. The study in Ponta do Pirambu considered yet the possibility of the existence of a colluvial cover with thickness ranging from 0.50 to 5.00 meters. The analyzes were performed by Bishop method, using GEO5 software. In parametric analysis were produced graphics that relate height cliff with the inclination, to safety factors equals to 1.00 and 1.50; besides graphics where it is possible easily get the lowest safety factor as from the cohesion, cliff height and its inclination. It was concluded that these graphs are very useful to preliminary analyzes, for the definition of critical areas in risk mappings in areas of cliffs and for determination of an equation for obtaining the lowest safety factor function of the strength parameters and of slope geometry. Regarding the cliff from Ponta do Pirambu, the results showed that the cliff is subject to superficial landslides located in the points where may there be the presence of colluvium with thicknesses greater than two meters. However, the cliff remains stable presenting the global safety factor equal or superior to 2.50 in the saturated condition.
