No Rio de Janeiro, a segregação espacial já era conhecida pelo menos desde meados do século XIX. No entanto, foi só nas primeiras décadas do século XX que surgiriam as bases para uma nova configuração da segregação espacial na cidade, com a criação e a ocupação do bairro de Copacabana, que proporcionou a “invenção” da Zona Sul, “topônimo” até então não utilizado, e do seu oposto, a grande área que ficou conhecida como “subúrbio”, termo até então utilizado com outro significado. A toponímia associada a essas novas áreas de expansão da cidade foi relacionada a uma representação que proporcionou as diretrizes da segregação residencial no Rio de Janeiro por várias décadas, até fins do século XX, na dicotomia zona sul/ subúrbios. O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar o processo de construção destas representações e de mudança e construção de um novo modelo de segregação residencial no Rio de Janeiro nas primeiras décadas do século XX. Abstract URBAN STRUCTURE AND REPRESENTATIONS: THE INVENTION OF THE SOUTH ZONE AND THE MAKING OF A NEW PROCESS OF SPACIAL SEGREGATION IN RIO DE JANEIRO IN THE FIRST DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In Rio de Janeiro, space segregation was already known at least since de mid nineteenth century. However, only in the first decades of the twetieth century there would be th basis for a new configuration of the space segregation in the city, with the creation and occupation of Copacabana district, causing th “invention” of the South Zone, “toponyn” until then not used, and of its opposite, the large area that became known as th “suburb”, a term wich until then had another meaning. The toponymy associated to these new areas of the expanding city was related to an representation that provided the grounds of residential segregation in Rio for many decades, until the end of the twentieth century, in the form of the dicotomy south zone/suburbs. The aim of this work is to show this process of consturuction of these representations and the process of change and building of a new model of segragation in Rio de Janeiro in the first decades of the twentieth century.

The purpose of this research was to establish the relationship between kinanthropometry and motor fitness and kho-kho playing abilities. One hundred and forty five women players were selected from the students of Pondicherry University during the South Zone kho-kho tournament. Playing ability was measured with the help of three kho-kho experts; kinanthopometric measurements such as height, weight, leg length and arm length were measured with the help of the ISAK guideline manual; and among motor fitness abilities, agility was measured by 40-m shuttle run, leg explosive power by standing broad jump, flexibility by sit and reach test, and muscular endurance was measured by knee bent sit–up test. The kho-kho playing ability was assessed by three well qualified and experienced experts. There were high correlations existing between playing abilities with Agility (r = 0.63), Explosive leg Power (r = 0.59), Muscular endurance (r = 0.39).

In order to bridge the digital gap and to facilitate the use of ICT in teaching and learning among lecturers and students in Nigeria universities, the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) organized a workshop to train lecturers in the use of ICT skill and knowledge. It was expected that 12,000 lecturers from various universities will be trained. It was discovered that the idea was welcomed since most of them find if difficult to integrate ICT in their academic work. As a result of this, the study seeks to find out the success achieved among participants and their perception toward the programme.

This study was conducted in December 2010 to find out students perception and attitude toward vandalism in the library. To gather the required information, a questionnaire was distributed to 1400 randomly selected students of university libraries in the South-South zone of Nigeria out of which 718 responded. Results of their responses revealed that vandalism of library materials in the form of theft, mutilation and hiding of books and journals, is largely regarded as a form of academic survival, this makes student to put up “I Don’t care” attitude to library materials. The major causes of vandalism of library materials include limited library collections; restrictions in the use of some materials; number and duration of loans; insufficient number of copies of recommended textbooks; unaffordable cost of personal textbooks; high cost of photocopying as well as peer-influence. Amongst others, researchers recommend the following: training and retraining programme for users, extension of loan period; adequate funding; robust security measures and punishment of offenders.
