The purpose of the study was to observe and document the manner through which eight students from two separate Grade 2 classes combined both syllabic (musical) and prosodic (word) rhythmic composing strategies during an eight week composing unit. Through the triangulation of data collected in the form of a research journal, student compositions, videotapes of composing behaviour, and transcriptions of group student interviews, integrated and music dominated group composing processes emerged, as well as four dominant trends of composing behaviour. First, a dialectical relationship between phrasal development and conception of meter was observed to exist depending upon student choice of composing strategy. Second, the influence of leadership roles was observed to play a dominant role in the determination of group composing process. Third, students exhibited differing modes of rhythmic perception during the assembly and performance stages of composition. Fourth and finally, an ambiguity regarding future preferred composing strategy was noted by students. Implications for education include the integration of cross-curricular (music and language) composing units. Further study of the influence of cooperative learning and student perception of meter within the domain of composition is recommended as children were capable of generating linguistic and musical learning opportunities “from the inside-out.”

Notre capacité à intégrer des informations venant de nos différents sens est fondamentale pour produire et réguler les mouvements de notre corps. L’objectif général de cette thèse est d’étudier les effets des déterminants de l’intégration multisensorielle sur nos comportements sensorimoteurs rythmiques. Les effets de l’intégration multisensorielle sur ce type de comportements sont peu connus car peu étudiés. Ces comportements caractérisent pourtant la majorité de nos activités quotidiennes comme marcher, écrire ou encore lors de la pratique d’activités sportives. Jusqu’à présent les processus multisensoriels ont été étudiés principalement dans le cadre de nos capacités de discrimination et de détection, révélant notamment la nécessaire synchronie temporelle entre les modalités pour leur intégration. Les conséquences de cette cohérence temporelle et des mécanismes associés n’ont jamais été testées sur les comportements sensorimoteurs rythmiques. Nous chercherons donc à généraliser leurs effets sur ces comportements. Par ailleurs, la littérature rapporte que les caractéristiques du mouvement modifient le traitement des informations sensorielles et semblent également influencer l’intégration multisensorielle. Nous testerons ainsi l’effet des caractéristiques de stabilité du système sensorimoteur, i.e. stabilité intrinsèque de la marche, sur l’intégration multisensorielle.Les deux contributions de cette thèse sont les suivantes : (1) Les comportements rythmiques obéissent aux mêmes principes que les comportements de discrimination temporelle ou de détection. Nos résultats généralisent les effets de cohérence temporelle et montrent pour la première fois l’effet de bénéfice multisensoriel sur la marche. (2) Nous formulons une hypothèse novatrice de compensation sensorimotrice, qui souligne l’utilisation adaptée des informations multisensorielles par le système sensorimoteur. Ce dernier compense la diminution de stabilité intrinsèque de la marche par une plus grande et/ou meilleure utilisation des informations externes audio-tactiles. / Our ability to merge information coming from several senses is crucial to produce and regulate our body movements. The main objective of this thesis is to study the effects of multisensory integration factors on our sensorimotor rhythmic behaviours. The multisensory integration effects on these behaviours are not well understood, being seldom studied. However, those behaviours characterize most of our daily activities such as walking, writing or doing sports. So far, multisensory processes have essentially been studied with regard to our discrimination and detection skills, highlighting the necessity of a temporal synchrony between senses for their integration. The consequences of this temporal coherence and the associated mechanisms have never been tested on sensorimotor rhythmic behaviours. Thus, we will extend their effects to these behaviours. Besides, literature shows that the movements’ features modify the processing of sensory information and can influence multisensory integration. We will test the effects of the stability of the sensorimotor system, i.e. intrinsic stability of gait, on the multisensory integration.The two main contributions of the thesis are the following ones: (1) Rhythmic behaviours obey the same principles as temporal discrimination and detection behaviours. Our results generalize the effects of temporal coherence and show for the first time a multisensory benefit on gait. (2) We suggest a novel sensorimotor compensatory assumption, highlighting the adaptive use of multisensory information by the sensorimotor system, which compensates the decrease of the intrinsic stability of the gait with a larger and/or better use of external audio-tactile information.

Initially developed theoretical background on the evolution of climate studies from those achieved by traditional peoples, passing by the first climate formulations in Geography from Humboldt, Hann, Koppen, De Martonne, Strahler, Sorre and Pedelaborde, reaching Carlos Augusto Figueiredo Monteiro, responsible for this development tools applied to geographic foundations of understanding of climate. So the work is theoretical and methodological foundation Monteiro (1973), fundamental to the development of a climate characterization with emphasis on regional atmospheric circulation. Based on Monteiro (1973), the work follows a regional spatial scale, since the atmospheric dynamics can only be understood from this definition, and timescale delimited from the standard years. Further details was carried out in climatic element precipitation, identifying those weather systems responsible for the rainy and dry season. Thus develops a study of the genesis of rainfall for the state of Ceará, based on regional dynamics. The procedures adopted were conducted based on the natural succession rhythm of the types of time, designed from standard years and the application of rhythmic analysis, responsible for providing subsidies to the preparation of the participation rates of atmospheric systems that spatialized were used as a basis the attempted synthesis of regional atmospheric circulation for the state of Ceará. / Foi realizado no presente trabalho, uma caracterização climática para o estado do Ceará, a partir da dinâmica dos sistemas atmosféricos. Inicialmente, desenvolveu-se fundamentação teórica sobre a evolução dos estudos climáticos desde aqueles realizados pelos povos tradicionais, passando pelas primeiras formulações climáticas na Geografia a partir de Humboldt, Hann, Köppen, De Martonne, Strahler, Sorre e Pédelaborde, chegando a Carlos Augusto de Figueiredo Monteiro, este responsável pelo desenvolvimento de ferramentas aplicadas aos fundamentos geográficos de compreensão do Clima. Assim o trabalho tem como fundamento teórico-metodológico Monteiro (1973), fundamental ao desenvolvimento de uma caracterização climática com ênfase na circulação atmosférica regional. Com base em Monteiro (1973), o trabalho segue uma escala espacial regional, visto que a dinâmica atmosférica só pode ser compreendida a partir de tal delimitação, e escala temporal delimitada a partir dos anos padrão. Um detalhamento maior foi realizado no elemento climático precipitação, identificando aqueles sistemas atmosféricos responsáveis pelo período chuvoso e seco. Assim, desenvolve-se um estudo sobre a gênese das chuvas para o estado do Ceará, com base na dinâmica regional. Os procedimentos adotados foram conduzidos com base no ritmo sucessão natural dos tipos de tempo, concebidos a partir dos anos padrão e da aplicação da análise rítmica, responsável por fornecer os subsídios à elaboração dos índices de participação de sistemas atmosféricos, que espacializados foram utilizados como base à tentativa de síntese da circulação atmosférica regional para o estado do Ceará.

Este estudo teve por objetivo apresentar um modelo motivacional teórico-explicativo para o treinamento de Ginástica Rítmica (GR), tomando como base a Teoria da Autodeterminação (TAD). A TAD, quando aplicada ao esporte, postula que a satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas de competência, autonomia e relacionamento é fundamental para o crescimento, a integridade e o bem estar psicológico dos atletas. Postula também que o ambiente de treino desempenha papel relevante na autodeterminação dos atletas. Para apresentar o Modelo Motivacional Teórico-Explicativo acima referido, o presente estudo procurou num primeiro momento caracterizar o ambiente de treino da GR, verificando se o mesmo atendia às necessidades psicológicas básicas estabelecidas pela TAD. A abordagem metodológica foi do tipo mista. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram treinadoras de GR do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, filiadas à Confederação Brasileira de Ginástica e que atuam em campeonatos nacionais na categoria juvenil. Para a coleta das informações, foram utilizados três instrumentos: Questionário de Identificação das Variáveis de Controle (QIVC), Entrevista Semiestruturada e Ficha de Observação para Análise das Necessidades Psicológicas Básicas no Ambiente de Treino (FOANPBAT). Foram realizadas cinco observações do ambiente de treino de cada uma das treinadoras. Para a interpretação dos dados coletados nas entrevistas e nas anotações de campo se utilizou a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Para a análise dos dados obtidos nas observações do ambiente de treino, considerou-se as frequências de ocorrência das categorias de avaliação. Os resultados demonstraram que o ambiente de treino proporcionado pelas treinadoras de GR está parcialmente de acordo com a necessidade psicológica básica de competência. Em relação à necessidade psicológica de autonomia, o ambiente de treino não contempla os aspectos estabelecidos pela TAD. Quanto à necessidade psicológica de relacionamento, a maioria dos aspectos postulados pela TAD estão presentes no ambiente de treino. Os resultados das frequências de ocorrência mostraram que 69,73% dos itens da competência foram atendidos, 59,37% dos itens da autonomia não foram atendidos e 73,12% dos itens do relacionamento foram atendidos. / The aim of this study was to present a theoretical-explanatory motivational model for the training of Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG), based on the Theory of Self- Determination (SDT). The SDT, when applied to sports, posits that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs of competence, autonomy and relatedness is critical to the growth, integrity and psychological well being of the athletes. It also postulates that the training environment plays an important role in the athlete’s self-determination. To present the theoretical-explanatory motivational model mentioned above, this study sought at first to characterize the RG training environment, to verify if it met the basic psychological needs established by the SDT. The methodological approach was of the mixed type, Research subjects were coaches of RG of the Rio Grande do Sul State, affiliated to the Brazilian Gymnastics Federation and working in national championships in the youth category. To collect the information, three instruments were used: the Variables Control Identification Questionnaire (QIVC), semi-structured Interview and the Observation Sheet for Analysis of Psychological Basic Needs in Training Environment (FOANPBAT). Five observations of training environment of each of the coaches were performed. For the interpretation of the data collected in interviews and field notes it was used the technique of content analysis. For the analysis of data obtained in the observations of the training environment, it was considered the frequencies of occurrence of the evaluation categories. The results demonstrated that the training environment provided by RG coaches was partially according to the basic psychological need of competence. Regarding the psychological need for autonomy, the training environment did not attend the aspects established by the SDT. As to the relatedness psychological need, most of the aspects postulated by SDT were present in the training environment. The result’s frequencies of occurrence showed that 69,73% of the competence items were met, 59,37% of autonomy items were not met, and 73,12% of relatedness items were met.

Title: The effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait in patients with Multiple Sclerosis Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait in patients with multiple sclerosis using GAITRite and Timed 25-Foot Walk test (T25FW). Furthermore, we investigated the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation on the patients' subjective perception of their gait using the standardised MSWS-12 questionnaire. Methods: Twenty-eight individuals were recruited for the study. The intervention group comprised 14 patients (2 men, 12 women, average age - 34 years) with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis of ≤ 6.0 on Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale. The control group comprised 14 healthy individuals (2 men, 12 women, average age - 36 yrs). All recruited individuals must have been older than 18 years old. The intervention group walked for 20 minutes a day for 6 weeks while listening to rhythmic music with cadence set 15% higher than the cadence of their gait. The control group had no intervention. Individual gait parameters in both groups were measured before and after the 6 weeks using the GAITRite device. The following parameters were analysed: step duration, step length, step velocity, cadence, length of double support, length of single support. Walking speed was...

A Ginástica Rítmica é praticada, em quase toda sua totalidade, por meninas, para as quais a iniciação esportiva ocorre de forma precoce. A magreza é uma característica muito prevalente nas atletas, devido às restrições calóricas realizadas, as quais podem afetar o equilíbrio hídrico. Além disso, as sessões de treino são longas (3-4 horas diárias), podendo ocasionar uma não recuperação adequada entre as sessões de treino e competições. Por conseguinte, a combinação da restrição de alimentos com a perda hídrica pela sudorese e as longas sessões de treino pode acentuar a desidratação e, de maneira adversa, prejudicar as respostas fisiológicas, o desempenho e o conforto térmico dos treinos. Objetivo: Comparar respostas fisiológicas e perceptivas de meninas atletas de ginástica rítmica entre uma sessão de treino sem hidratação, e outra com hidratação controlada. Métodos: Quatorze meninas atletas de Ginástica Rítmica que treinavam no período de aproximadamente um ano. Nenhuma tinha diagnóstico de doença crônica ou fazia uso de medicamentos. Elas foram avaliadas em duas sessões de treino (105 minutos cada), uma com hidratação controlada (CH) e outra sem hidratação (SH). A frequência cardíaca (FC), taxa de percepção de esforço (TPE), sensação térmica (ST), conforto térmico (CT) e irritabilidade (IR) foram mensuradas periodicamente. A sudorese foi avaliada, a cada sessão de treino,mediante coleta de uma amostra de suor para análise da concentração de eletrólitos (Na+, Cl- e K+). Foram realizados o teste de força máxima (dinamometria) e o teste do tempo de reação pré e pós sessão de treino. Para a revisão da literatura, foram selecionados 42 artigos nas bases de dados SciELO, Scopus e PubMed com as palavras-chave: hydration, sweating, exercise, children, RhythmicGymnastics, youngathlete. Resultados: Todas as atletas iniciaram as sessões de treino em similares condições de hidratação (hipohidratação mínima), conforme parâmetros urinários. Na sessão de treino CH,encontrou-se um percentual de desidratação de 0,07%, enquanto que na sessão de treino SH esse foi de 1,15%. A força diminuiu na sessão SH (p=0,013), enquanto que nenhuma modificação ocorreu no teste de reação em ambas as sessões. A TPE no minuto 25 foi maior na sessão de treino SH. A ST, no minuto 105, foi maior na sessão SH. O CT e a IR foram similares entre as sessões. Observou-se maior concentração de Na+ na urina na sessão de treino SH. Um grau de hipohidratação acima de 1% pode prejudicar componentes da aptidão física, do conforto térmico, assim como a motivação e a cognição, repercutindo no desempenho do atleta em treinos e competições. Conclusão: A hidratação é essencial para garantir o desempenho e a saúde dos jovens atletas. É necessário que ocorra hipohidratação antes, durante, e após os treinos e competições. Em suma, a maioria dos jovens atletas não consegue ingerir a quantidade necessária para evitar a desidratação. / The Rhythmic Gymnastics is practiced, in almost its totality, by girls, for whom the sports initiation starts early. Thinness is a prevalent characteristic in athletes, due to the caloric restrictions made, that can affect the water balance. Moreover, the training sessions are long (3-4 hours daily), which could cause a non adequate recovery between training sessions and competitions. Thus, the combination of food restriction with the water loss by sweating and the long training sessions can enhance dehydration and, adversely, impair the physiological responses, the performance and the thermal comfort from training. Aim: Compare physiological responses and perceptions of girls athletes of Rhythmic Gymnastics between one training session without hydration and other with controlled hydration. Methods: Fourteen girls athletes of Rhythmic Gymnastics who trained during a period of approximately one year. None of them had a diagnosis of chronic disease or made use of medicaments. They were evaluated in two training sessions (105 minutes each), one with controlled hydration (CH) and other without hydration (WH). The heart rate (HR), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), thermal sensation (TS), thermal comfort (TC) and irritability (IR) were measured periodically. The sweating was evaluated, in each training session, by collecting a sample of sweat to analyze the concentration of electrolytes (Na+, Cl- e K+). The maximal strength test (dynamometry) and the test of reaction time pre and post training session were performed. To literature review, were selected 42 articles in data base ScIELO, Scopus and PubMed with the keywords: hydration,sweating, exercise, children, RhythmicGymnastics, youngathlete. Results: All athletes started training sessions in similar conditions of hydration (minimal hypohydration), according to urinary parameters. In CH training session, we find a dehydration percentage of 0,07%, while in training session WH was 1,15%. The strength decreased in WS session (p=0,013), while no modification occurred in reaction test in both sessions. The RPE on minute 25 was higher than in training session WH. The TS, on minute 105, was higher in session WH. The TC and the IR were similar between sessions. Greater concentration of Na+ in urine was observed in training session WH. A hypohydration degree above 1% can harm components of physical fitness, thermal comfort, as motivation and cognition, impacting the athlete performance in training and competition. Conclusion: Hydration is essential to ensure the young athletes performance and health. In short, majority young athletes can’t ingest a necessary amount to avoid dehydration.

A periodicidade também será abordada do ponto de vista da Teoria da Informação, de acordo com as formulações do teórico francês Abraham Moles (1920-1992), referência fundamental para o trabalho deste compositor. Segue-se, então, a exposição teórica da periodicidade generalizada, complementada por um caso prático de aplicação composicional por meio de uma análise da obra Apostrophe et six réflexions, escrita por Henri Pousseur na época da formulação deste conceito. / This work is centered on the concept of generalized periodicity as proposed by Belgian composer Henri Pousseu (1929-2009), aiming to investigate some of the most remarkable transformations in rhythmic and temporal organization in 20th century concert music, specifically concerning the experience of serialism in post-war Europe. Periodicity is also approached through Information Theory, accordingly to the developments made by French theorist Abraham Moles (1920-1992), fundamental reference for Pousseur´s work. After a conceptual presentation of the generalized periodicity, a case study of its compositional application is provided by an analysis of the work Apostrophe et six réflexions (1964-1966), written by the Belgian composer by the time this concept was formulated.
