Nguyen, Hong-Thai. "Des systèmes de TA homogènes aux systèmes de TAO hétérogènes." Phd thesis, Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble), 2009. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00447571.

Abstract:
La thèse porte sur les problèmes posés par la conception et la réalisation de la partie logicielle des systèmes de traduction automatisée (TAO) hétérogènes, intégrant des systèmes de TA multiples et/ou à composants hétérogènes, ainsi qu'une partie THAM (traduction humaine aidée par la machine), reposant sur des mémoires de traductions. Ces systèmes se développent à côté des systèmes de TA homogènes et de THAM, et les supplanteront peut-être à moyen terme. Leurs différents composants de TA seront construits par des équipes différentes, distribuées autour de la planète, avec des méthodes algorithmiques et des outils différents (langages spécialisés ou LSPL), ainsi que des ressources et composants linguiciels différents (dictionnaires et corpus de divers types, grammaires et transducteurs basés sur des règles), à l'aide d'EDL (environnements de développement linguiciel) eux aussi différents. Les contributions de la thèse concernent en particulier : • l'amélioration des « méta-EDL de TAO », permettant d'effectuer une transition incrémentale entre les EDL natifs des systèmes de TA utilisés pour construire un systèmes de TAO à composants hétérogènes, et un futur EDL intégrateur universel, dans lequel on pourra « rapatrier » la compilation et l'exécution des LSPL ; • la conception et la réalisation d'une base lexicale partageant un même pivot lexical, PIVAX, réalisée au-dessus de la plate-forme Jibiki (G. Sérasset, GETALP) ; • la réingénierie de langages spécialisés « externes » (non supportés par l'EDL Ariane-G5), avec application aux « systèmes-Q » (A. Colmerauer, 1967), qui servit de base pendant 15 ans au système de TA TAUM-météo destiné aux bulletins météorologiques canadiens ; • la conception et la réalisation d'un « moniteur » adapté à la partie « production » d'un système de TAO hétérogène, EMEU_w.1.0, qui a été développé et utilisé dans le cadre d'un projet de grande ampleur.

Dominguez, Maria J. "Kinky Criticism: BDSM Principles Applied to Literature." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2016. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2211.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis proposes a new school of literary analysis: Kinky Criticism. This critical theory will examine the presence in literature of themes related to BDSM, an acronym referring to bondage/discipline, domination/submission, and sadism/masochism. My purpose in examining this power exchange and sadomasochism in literature is threefold. Firstly, I aim to reveal the presence of kinky themes in not only a range of literary works, but also leave the reader aware of kink present in everyday human interactions. Secondly, through this application to literature, Kinky Criticism sheds new light on the techniques of characterization and adds complexity to the dynamics between characters. Finally, Kinky Criticism provides a new perspective that leads to unexpected conclusions about hotly debated topics in literature, such as the infamous sodomites of Dante’s Inferno. Although a few scholars have commented on kinky themes, their analyses have not yet gained the coherence of a critical movement. This thesis aims to outline the tenets of Kinky Criticism and to establish not only its legitimacy as a critical lens, but also Kinky Criticism’s unique contributions to the interpretation of three major literary works: Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, and D.H. Lawrence’s Women in Love.

Abstract:
This research focuses on the methods of introduction into BDSM, role identification, and the management of private information as it relates to BDSM. The method utilized for this study was in-depth interviews of fifteen current participants in the BDSM subculture. It is primarily through peer association, sexual scripting, and impression management that new members are introduced, learn their role, and manage their information within the BDSM subculture. It was found that peer association is the primary method of socializing members. Role identification is accomplished through both a method of sexual scripting as well as complimentary differentiation, the process by which a stimulus is transmitted and received, and subsequent stimuli are transmitted back, reinterpreted and responded to. It is through impression management and stigma management that members learn to maintain the privacy of their participation. Future research should include additional analysis with a larger sample size to determine if the current findings will continue to hold true.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine escort-business with a focus on sales of BDSM-services (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism). The study is based on qualitative interviews with three informants providing BDSM-services, as well as a survey with 96 men who requested domination of escorts (the survey was carried out by an escort in the 1980s). The analysis of this material resulted in the identification of three themes on which the study centers: The personal experiences of the three escorts, the interaction between the escorts and the clients, and the changes over time when it comes to the performance of BDSM-services. The study has a gender perspective with a focus on feminism and queer-theory. The important conclusions are that there are several differences between prostitution having a focus on BDSM-services and other prostitution. Sexual intercourse is not a common occurrence. Role-playing games involving domination and submission, physical pain, humiliation and fantasies are instead central elements. Due to the security risks submissive services have been assumed not to exist in prostitution. In this study, however, two of the informants present themselves as submissive. Nothing in the empirical material suggests a greater security risk for escorts providing BDSM-services than other sexsellers. Instead, the escorts themselves characterize the phenomenon by straightforwardness, upright communication, and pre-agreed rules of the interaction.

Robertson, Alison R. "Beating the boundaries : an exploration of BDSM as religioning." Thesis, Open University, 2017. http://oro.open.ac.uk/51554/.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this research is an exploration of BDSM experience as it emerges from the complex interactions of kink activities and relationships. It argues that practices which are ostensibly not religious can be understood as contributing to personal processes of religioning. Enriching debates about living religion, I offer the idea of gestalt as a tool to address the question of how examples of a given practice which is a part of religioning might be distinguished from those where it is not. A gestalt is something felt to be more or other than the sum of its constituent parts; it is an emergent, felt quality that is neither perceptual nor cognitive. A sense of gestalt arises unpredictably from an individual's whole experience of a given phenomenon as it is integrated into their world and, when it appears, it changes the value, significance and meaning of the phenomenon. Thus, kink experience is presented as a crucible where personal outcomes and meaning can be distilled from the concentrated matter therein. I argue that the significance of a given experience is not located solely within any intrinsic quality ascribed to it, rather, it is in what the experiencer subsequently constructs from the refined experience.

Abstract:
Det finns ett stigma runt individer som praktiserar BDSM och lever i relationer med någon form av maktförskjutning. Den här studien gjordes för att öka förståelsen för individer som själva valt att leva i en relation med inslag av maktförskjutning. Studien handlade om huruvida maktförskjutning påverkar individers syn på sig själva och deras personliga utveckling. Sju män och sju kvinnor intervjuades, både dominanta och undergivna. Resultatet gav fyra teman och åtta subteman. Centralt i resultatet var kommunikation, dominans, kärlek och personlig utveckling. Deltagarna berättade om hur relationen påverkat dem på olika sätt och genom att leva i en relation med maktförskjutning upplevdes en förstärkt självkänsla. De effekter som bland andra belystes av deltagarna, var att acceptera sig själv och att växa som människa och partner. Kärlek, kommunikation och samtycke är några essentiella begrepp inom BDSM-relationer, vilket även är vad majoriteten av deltagarna själva nämner som faktorer till deras personliga utveckling.

Sheppard, Emma. "Kinked and crippled : disabled BDSM practitioners' experiences and embodiments of pain." Thesis, Edge Hill University, 2017. http://repository.edgehill.ac.uk/9950/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis explores the experience of pain for people who live with chronic pain and engage in BDSM1 (or ‘kinky’) pain play. It is situated within disability studies, taking the position that chronic pain is a disability, and in the use of crip theory to explore narratives of experience. The narratives, told through multiple, detailed interviews were explored in the contexts of crip theory, disability, and medical and social understandings of pain. The thesis addresses three core aims; firstly, to hear narratives of experiences of chronic pain and BDSM play. Secondly, to explore those narratives to reveal experiences and understandings of pain sought by those who live with chronic pain and also engage in BDSM. Finally, to challenge normative conceptions of pain through a critical crip reading of the narratives. The narratives revealed a range of complex experiences. I drew out these narratives in three broad themes: the role of crip time in living with chronic pain; the multiple uses of BDSM – including pleasure and control of the self – and the role of stigma and abjection. The thesis has made a number of original contributions to knowledge. Firstly, it revealed how pain is discursively constructed as needing control and containment, but how non-normative methods of control and bodily engagement are not necessarily understood as such. Secondly, the thesis exposes how pain is assumed to be wholly destructive to the self, but instead ways to integrate pain into the self are sought. Thirdly, it adds to crip theory by expanding the notion of crip time to reflect the experience of living with chronic pain. Finally, by demonstrating how the narratives challenge understandings of the ‘normal,’ as reflected in discourses of chronic pain. The thesis thus exposes how normative constructions of pain are a part of the performance and construction of able-bodyminded heterosexuality.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to hightlight experiences of living in a relationship where BDSM is being exercised. The acronym is an umbrella term for bondage/discipline, dominance/submission and sadomasochism. The study is based on qualitative interviews with five persons who define themselves as BDSM practitioners. The overall questions of this study are: How does the BDSM practice appear in everyday life? How did the practice start and how has it developed over time? What's included in the sexual BDSM practice? The empirical material has been analyzed with interactionism as the theoritical framework.The picture that emerges is complex. To define oneself as a BDSM practitioner might mean different things for different people where the extent of the practice, what it consists of and how integrated it is in the lives of people might vary from person to person. But despite differences there are also recurring, common patterns in the stories of the informants. All of them describe the practice in positive terms. To a great extent the practice has to do with sexuality where an explicit power exchange, an assuming of dominant and submissive roles and an everyday life filled with rituals, rules and agreements are described as being key elements. Punishment, in the form of physical pain or humiliation, is common when the rules are not obeyed. All the interviewees use safewords to make sure both are comfortable about what's happening. Some sort of tool is utilized by all. The most common are whips, bonds, chains and locks, paddles, clamps/clothespins, knives, butt plugs and ropes. There's an occupation among the informants to find and to form strategies to cope and to adapt the BDSM role to other roles and here the parental role is the most apparent. Also an ambition to create a balance between the personal norms and the norms of the BDSM culture and those of the overall society can be seen. The interviewees express a search for answers to why one practices BDSM. In this process they return to experiences, almost exclusively of a destructive nature, and they wonder if these experiences have affected their sexuality and their preference for BDSM. It's like this even if the common attitude in society actually has become more accepting, for example with the help of media, recent research and the fact that it's not anymore is considered being a disorder.

Proceeding from ethnographic research conducted in digital virtual 3D Second Life world from 2013 to 2015, an analisys to identify and study the BDSM sociabilities as the relations of affection, love and sex among practitioners of this non-hegemonic kind of sexuality was carried. In this process, were observed issues such as sexual virtuality and body building for cibersexualities and the relationship between pain, humiliation and affection, love and gratitude in the hierarchical relationships of dominant and submissive participants of the BDSM communities encompassed in the online universe. Based on participant observation and interviews with virtual world SL residents, this work aims at understanding love relationships and negotiations that take place amidst sexual practices and morality values of the community. The relationships between practitioners draw a complex web of affections, enabling a micropolitics of emotions which is reflected in actions of care, gratitude and reciprocity. The notion of BDSM as a transgression, a sort of practice that, by being rationalized and controlled, in the search for its legitimacy, creates its own interdictions- such as romantic love and vanilla relationships- is also addressed.
A partir de pesquisa etnográfica realizada no mundo virtual digital 3D Second Life entre os anos de 2013 e 2015, identifiquei e analisei as sociabilidades BDSM, bem como as relações sexuais, de afeto e amorosas entre praticantes dessa sexualidade não hegemônica. Essa dissertação perpassa questões como a virtualidade do sexo e construção do corpo para cibersexualidades, a articulação entre dor, humilhação e carinho, amor, gratidão nas relações hierárquicas entre dominadores e submissos englobados nas comunidades BDSM do universo online. Com base em observação participante e entrevistas com residentes do mundo virtual SL, busco compreender os relacionamentos amorosos e as negociações que acontecem entre práticas sexuais e moralidades das comunidades. Essas relações entre praticantes traçam uma complexa rede de afetos, possibilitando uma micropolítica das emoções, refletidas em cuidados, gratidão e reciprocidade. É abordada também a noção de BDSM enquanto transgressão, prática que ao ser racionalizada e controlada, na busca por legitimação, cria seus próprios interditos, como o amor romântico e relacionamentos baunilha.

Esta i investigação tem como objeto o discurso de legitimação de praticantes de condutas sexuais tradicionalmente classificadas como perversões, chamadas por seus adeptos de BDSM sigla que descreve diversas práticas ou jogos sexuais: B é para Bondage, o par B & D para bondage e Disciplina. O par D & S para Dominação e Submissão, e o par S & M para Sadismo e Masoquismo. O BDSM liga-se ainda ao fetichismo. As definições de BDSM analisadas foram retiradas da Internet, cujas especificidades são abordadas. Para a contextualização histórica do objeto foi apresentada e discutida a construção médico- psiquiátrica das perversões sexuais. A análise do discurso BDSM e sua comparação com definições psiquiátrica indicaram a centralidade da noção de consentimento como argumento de legitimação e distinção de comportamentos patológicos, principalmente no diálogo com a psiquiatria contemporânea.
The object of this investigation is the legitimating discourse of the adherents of sexual practices traditionally classified as perversions, called BDSM by their adepts which describes various practices or sexual games: B stands for Bondage, their pair B & D stands for bondage and Discipline, their pairs D & S stands for Domination and Submission, and the pair S & M stands for Sadism and Masochism. BDSM is also linked to fetishism. The definitions of BDSM analyzed were taken from the Internet, which had it specificities considered. The historic contextualization of the object is presented and discussed through the medical and psychiatric construction of sexual perversions. The analysis of the BDSM discourse and its comparison with historical psychiatric definitions indicates the central role the notion of consent plays in legitimating the practice of BDSM and in distinguishing it from pathological behaviors, in constant dialog with contemporary psychiatry.

Abstract:
As women navigate the intersecting meanings of feminism and submission, some struggle to reconcile their feminist politics and submissive practice (i.e., belief in equality and desire to yield authority). Bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism (BDSM) has been examined through diverse feminist lenses, including radical feminism, postcolonial world-travelling, and a sex-critical approach. However, scant empirical research focuses on the intersection of feminist and submissive identities. The purpose of this collected papers dissertation was to better understand the identity navigation of women in the BDSM community who identify as feminist and submissive. Two studies were conducted to explore this gap. Study #1, a structured literature review of BDSM, examined how feminism and submission are discussed related to women who are feminist and submissive. Data were collected through a library database search, Google Scholar, reference scans, and Google Scholar Cited by. Important segments of data were identified and analyzed. Four themes emerged: feminism in the context of BDSM, normalization of BDSM, navigating identities, and power as transgressive. Implications focus on three areas: the importance of consent, transgression, and diversity; helping women understand and navigate identities; and reducing stigma through education. Study #2, a phenomenological study, explored how 23 women in the BDSM community perceive and navigate their feminist and submissive identities. Data were collected through interviews. Inductive analysis revealed six themes: feminist identity as distinct from feminist values, the complexity of submissive identity, women learn to accept their submissive identity in different ways, BDSM community perceived as generally accepting of feminist identity, feminist community perceived as not very accepting of submissive identity, and being out as feminist and as submissive. Implications focus on four areas: exploring how women challenge oppressions; understanding how women understand and negotiate consent; learning about how individuals learn about, develop, and engage in BDSM D/s relationships; and examining how college women experience these identities, feminism, submission, consent, and abuse while they develop as individuals. The findings can apply to counseling, feminism, sex education, higher education, adult education, and human resource development through incorporation into curriculum, training, and policies. Research and practice can be enhanced through exploring how consent is understood, operationalized, and violated; broadening discussions about identity development; and increasing awareness of how adults learn.

Full text
Abstract:

Despite the direct connection between anal sex and pleasure (Hite, 1981; Morin, 2010), the majority of academic literature on anal sex frames the topic in terms of homophobia (when referring to male-bodied people) and/or disease (Aguilar, 2017; Brody & Weiss, 2011; McBride & Fortenberry, 2010). While only two academic articles (Branfman & Stiritz, 2012; Branfman, Stiritz, & Anderson, 2017) have been published on the topic of anoreceptive heterosexual males (ARHMs), there is evidence of this type of sexuality dating back to Ancient Egypt and Greece (Bullough, 1976; Foucault, 1990b). This is indicative of the socially systemic heteronormativity and associated constructs of heterosexism, homophobia, and phallocentrism that can instill shame and stigma in those with non-conforming sexual preferences, such as ARHMs, BDSM practitioners, and BDSM-oriented ARHMs (Ayres & Leudeman, 2013; Bosson, Prewitt-Freilino, & Taylor, 2005; Crane & Crane-Seeber, 2003; Heasley, 2005; Taormino, 2008; Yost, 2010). Therefore, this research examined levels of heteronormativity, sexual shame, and sexual pride to determine whether higher levels of heteronormativity predict higher levels of sexual shame and lower levels of sexual pride in ARHMs, and whether heteronormativity, sexual shame, and sexual pride in ARHMs differ according to BDSM status. In multivariate linear regressions and independent-samples t-tests on data from 906 ARHMs, heteronormativity did not significantly contribute to the prediction of sexual shame in ARHMs; there was not a significant difference in heteronormativity between BDSM-oriented and non-BDSM-oriented ARHMs; there was a significant difference in sexual shame between BDSM-oriented and non-BDSM-oriented ARHMs, but not in the hypothesized direction (there were higher levels of sexual shame among BDSM-oriented ARHMs); and there was not a significant difference in sexual pride between BDSM-oriented and non-BDSM-oriented ARHMs. These findings highlight the nuance in sexual orientation and expression. It remains unclear whether the constructs of masculinity and heteronormativity are expanding to accommodate what were previously considered non-conforming sexual and gender expressions, or whether these constructs continue to obfuscate and repress through a manipulation of language that reinforces privilege. These findings have implications for clinicians who work with those who have both privileged and marginalized identities and/or sexual orientations.

Abstract:

BDSM (Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, Sadism/Masochism) has become more widely known as a common, nonpathological interest (Holvoet et al., 2017; Powell, 2010). However, there is still much stigma associated with romantic relationships within the BDSM community, the most deviant of which may be the 24/7 Dominant/submissive (D/s) relationship in which a Dominant partner is permanently in control of a submissive partner (Dancer, Kleinplatz, & Moser, 2006). The current study investigated different types of issues that may arise given the 24/7 D/s dynamic in order to better understand romantic relationships involving BDSM and the. Participants involved in 24/7 D/s relationships, other relationships involving BDSM, and relationships that do not incorporate BDSM were included and compared in this study. It was found that 24/7 relationships did contain significantly less equity than other types of relationships, and that people in other forms of BDSM relationships had the least amount of traditional gender role beliefs. Overall, the current study is one of the few to incorporate quantitative data regarding this population, and provides further information regarding the different types of relationships in the BDSM community.

Abstract:
Afin de cerner la teneur de la normativité sexuelle en contexte contemporain, cette étude prend pour objet les discours de praticien-ne-s de BDSM (bondage, discipline, domination, soumission, sadomasochisme) et la manière dont ces derniers font l'expérience du regard des autres sur leurs pratiques. L'étude montre que le type de rapport au jeu des praticien-ne-s influence leur rapport à la norme. Selon que les praticien-ne-s cherchent ou non à gommer la distance entre leur rôle dans le cadre du jeu et leur identité sociale, ils sont susceptibles de se positionner en rupture ou en continuité vis-à-vis de la normalité sexuelle. Tandis que ceux qui cherchent à quotidianiser leur pratique adoptent une attitude de distinction et conçoivent la sexualité normale comme étant ennuyeuse, les autres qui conçoivent le BDSM comme un jeu circonscrit dans des moments spécifiques sont portés à normaliser leurs pratiques et à les situer dans le prolongement de la normalité sexuelle. Les distinctions entre les deux types de rapport au BDSM (celui des tenant-e-s de la vieille école et des joueurs) portent essentiellement sur leur rapport aux coulisses du jeu et à la distance vis-à-vis des rôles. Les praticien-ne-s ne ressentent que très peu de stigmatisation auprès d'autrui. Les traces de l'épreuve d'un stigmate n'apparaissent que via le prisme de complexes et questionnements personnels chez les répondant-e-s qui s'interrogent parfois à savoir si leur intérêt pour certaines pratiques est sain. Les pratiques BDSM sont de l'ordre de la sphère privée et constituent un stigmate invisible. Les praticien-ne-s choisissent à qui et de quelle manière révéler qu'ils s'adonnent au BDSM en se basant sur la compréhension qu'ils ont de la normativité. Le niveau d'intimité partagé ainsi que la séparation entre la sphère privée et publique font office de critères pour départager à qui révéler son intérêt pour le BDSM et comment.

Abstract:
I c-uppsatsen Different Shades of BDSM: En antropologisk studie om sexualitet, normer och betydelsen av diskurser  diskuteras BDSM som sexualitet, dess normer och diskurses betydelse för hur synen på sexualitet kan komma att omdanas. I uppsatsen framträder dels starka interna normer och regler kring sexualitet och samtycke fram hos de BDSM-utövare som deltagit i studien. Dels framkommer det mörka sidor av BDSM-praktiken, men också hur BDSM-aktivisterna kämpar för att motverka och distanserar sig från detta. Den huvudsakliga forskningsfrågan som utreds i studien är: Hur förhåller sig BDSM-utövarna kring fördomarna som reproduceras i Fifty Shades? Den andra forskningsfrågan som utreds är: Hur formar BDSM-utövarna en (politisk) diskurs som baseras på upplevda erfarenheter och hur påverkar debatten det normativa ramverket för sexualitet?  Den bästsäljande Fifty Shades-trilogin används alltså som verktyg för att ta sig an diskurserna kring BDSM-praktiken och ramar således in det mångsfacceterade BDSM-fältet. Fältarbetet är baserat på intervjuer med en mängd BDSM-utövare i Stockholmsområdet, deltagande observation, medieinnehåll från böcker och filmer samt svenskspråkigt internet.  Analysen bygger även vidare på Rubins teorier om vad som anses vara "avvikande" sexualitet, Douglas teorier om  på "rent" och "orent" och Foucaults teorier om "diskursernas kamp". Studiens ansats har delvis varit att skapa förståelse för underliggande mekanismer till varför människor väljer att utöva BDSM, men främst visar den en bild av BDSM-praktiken som kan hjälpa exempelvis yrkesutövare inom socialt arbete att "sålla agnarna från vetet", dvs.  att avgöra vilka som har ett skadligt beteende och därmed skulle behöva stöd och hjälp och vilka som inte behöver det. Uppsatsen bidrar med andra ord till att se att det finns nyanser och att praktiken inte är enhetlig (Just denna uppsats återger främst BDSM-aktivisternas positiva perspektiv, vilka strävar efter en etiskt väl uppbyggd praktik med bra värdegrund, men tar även upp negativa aspekter av praktiken).

Abstract:
This study is a qualitative examination of the definitions, beliefs, practices and the importance of consent within the Leather and Bondage, Domination, Sadomasochism (BDSM) communities using the experiences of those who identify as members of those communities. Through interviews with fifteen self-identified practitioners of BDSM/Leather, the research attempts to define consent, identify the importance of consent, and how consent is practiced within those lifestyles. It also seeks to address some of the commonly held misconceptions concerning the BDSM and Leather communities held by those outside the communities. The research attempts to establish how members of the communities define and practice consent in both their sexual and everyday lives. The standard definition of consent given was an "informed agreement between persons to act in an activity which is mutually beneficial for everybody involved." (I1) Additional elements to the basic definition included the necessity of a sound mind (I2 & I3), that the agreement is made willingly, free from coercion and outside influence - either from another person or from mind altering substances (I1,I2, I3, I6, I14), and that consent must be given by both the dominant and submissive partners. Also, consent for the Leather and BDSM practitioners interviewed included an understanding by all parties about what was expected, what the parties were and were not willing to do during the course of the interaction (the scene), and where consent stopped. At its most basic level the idea of consent was stated as "the ability to say yes." (I13)

In this essay, I interview six users from the website darkside.se, which is an internet community for BDSM practitioners. I’m using Judith Butlers theorys about performativity and heteronormativity, Gayle Rubins model the charmed circle; of which sexualities is regarded as approved and which is not, and Fanny Ambjörnssons explenation of queer theory. With the interviews as my material, I investigate how sex and gender is produced and used in BDSM and at Darkside. I discuss trans, heteronormativity, sexism and hierarchies of power related to sex and gender, in BDSM and at Darkside. I discover that most of my informants is experiencing different kinds of trouble or anxiety concerning their sexual practices in relation to sex and gender, and I examine which different strategies my informants are using to handle this complexes of problems.

Abstract:
Within the field of Counselling Psychology there is very little mention of Bondage and Discipline; Dominance and Submission; and Sadism and Masochism (BDSM). Given the wide range of activities that fall under the umbrella of BDSM (Weinberg, 2006), along with the associated stigma of BDSM (Wright, 2006), the exact prevalence of people engaging in it is unknown. However, the huge popularity of the Fifty Shades of Grey books and film (James, 2012, 2015) suggests that dominance and submission may be a common fantasy for far more people than was previously realised (Deahl, 2012). Previous research has concentrated on qualified therapists’ understandings of BDSM. To further improve training around this area this research explored the way in which trainees talk and think about BDSM. The epistemological orientation of this work is social constructionist, and therefore acknowledges that findings arise from a particular time and place. Three focus groups were conducted with a total of thirteen participants. Transcripts of the data was analysed using the six step process of Thematic Analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006). The analysis generated seven major analytical themes in relation to the subject of BDSM. These included: ‘BDSM as unknown’, ‘BDSM and the parameters of consent’, ‘BDSM as abuse’, ‘BDSM as a pathology’, ‘Visibility of BDSM’, ‘BDSM occurring on a spectrum’ and ‘BDSM as a cause for concern’. Participants were tentative in their language about how they constructed BDSM, in particular within the theme of ‘BDSM as a pathology’. Participants delineated types of BDSM from ‘light, fluffy, playful’, to the more ‘murky, less sanitised and extreme’. Participants expressed their potential for shock if working with ‘extreme’ BDSM, which gave an insight into their thinking around the subject. These findings are discussed in relation to previous literature and their implications for practice. Further training in BDSM for counselling psychologists is recommended, in particular to enable trainees to engage critically in their own reactions to BDSM. Further research into the critical engagement of the wider field of sexualities is recommended.

Abstract:
Denna studie kom till efter att RFSU hade börjat arbeta med frågor om sadomasochism, och efter att Socialstyrelsen tog bort sadomasochism ur sin diagnosmanual. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på vilka diskurser som används när media talar om sadomasochism. Queerteori är det teoretiska fundamentet i studien. Jag utgår även från Michel Foucaults teorier. Min metod är foucauldiansk genealogisk diskursanalys. Analysmaterialet består av 33 tryckta artiklar från svenska dags- och kvällstidningar. Resultatet visar att talet om sadomasochism i media följer olika diskurser. Vissa utgår från att normalisering är godtycklig, att normer är föränderliga och att alla människor bör ha rätt till sin egen sexualitet. Diskurser om kvinnor och barn utgår från att sadomasochism är farligt och att människor måste skyddas från sexuella avvikare. Det talas om sadism som inte sker under samtycke som sjukt. Vissa diskurser framställer sadomasochism som positivt och används i sadomasochisters identitetsskapade. Även när de accepterande artiklarna talar om sadomasochism görs det på ett sätt så att de sexuella normerna inte ifrågasätts. Media lägger fram en nomaliserad variant av sadomaschism som är lättare för allmänheten att acceptera. Sadomasochism fortsätter på grund av normaliseringen att betraktas som avvikande.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Samhällsvetenskaplig och sociologisk forskning om BDSM (enparaplyterm för bondage/disciplin, dominans/underkastelse och sadomasochism)är ett växande område sedan slutet av 1990-talet. Forskning som fokuserar påyngre BDSM-utövare saknas dock. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att, utifrån teorin omsexuella script (Simon & Gagnon 1986), undersöka vilka innebörder BDSM kanha för unga vuxna BDSM-utövare i Sverige 2019. Metod: Studien baseras påkvalitativa intervjuer med nio individer, i åldersintervallet 19–24 år, somdefinierar sig som BDSM-utövare. Materialet analyseras tematiskt utifrån teorinom sexuella script och Kenneth Burkes dramatistiska pentad. Resultat: Materialetkategoriseras i tre huvudteman som innefattar sammanlagt nio underteman:Konsonanser (”Kommunikation och utövande”, ”Intimitet och relationer” och”BDSM som den trygga sfären”), Dissonanser (”Dominant och jämställd” och”Negativa upplevelser och övergrepp”) samt Flertydiga harmonier (”Förnuft ochkänsla”, ”Feminisering som väg till njutning”, ”Åldersscript”, och ”Att skära sigmed olika innebörder”). Analysen visar att BDSM kan ha positiva, negativa ochparadoxala innebörder för unga vuxna utövare. Hur BDSM upplevs tycks hasamband med i vilken utsträckning sexuella script på olika scriptnivåer kongruerarmed varandra. Diskussion: Resultaten överensstämmer delvis med tidigareforskning, till exempel hur kommunikationen kan gå till, förekomsten av ensekvens av olika faser i utövandet, förhållningssätt till jämställdhet,iscensättningar kopplade till föreställningar om kön och ålder samt hur BDSMrelateras till intimitet, relationer och ett tryggt sammanhang. Utmärkande iempirin är att strypsex betraktas som vardagligt och vanligt. En analys avbeteendet ”att skära sig själv” i förhållande till självskadande och BDSM visar attbeteendet kan ha flera innebörder.
Background: Social scientific and sociological research on BDSM (an umbrellaterm for bondage/discipline, dominance/submission and sadomasochism) is agrowing field since the late 1990s. However, research focusing on youngerBDSM practitioners is lacking. Aim: Drawing on Simon and Gagnons (1986)concept of sexual scripting, the aim of this study is to examine meanings ofBDSM among young adult practitioners in Sweden 2019. Method: The study isbased on qualitative interviews with nine individuals, in the ages of 19 to 24years, who define themselves as BDSM practitioners. The material is analyzedthematically using sexual scripting theory. Result: The material is categorizedinto three main themes that includes a total of nine sub-themes; Consonances(“Communication and practice”, “Intimacy and relationships,” and “BDSM as asafe sphere”), Dissonances (“Dominant and equal” and “Negative experiences andabuse”), and Ambiguous harmonies (“Reason and emotion”, “Pleasure throughfeminization”, “Age scripts,” and “Different meanings in ‘self-cutting’”). Theanalysis shows that BDSM can contain positive, negative, and paradoxicalmeanings to young adult practitioners. How BDSM is perceived seems to berelated to whether scripts on different levels are congruent or incongruent.Discussion: The results are partly consistent with previous research, e.g. patternsof communication, sequences of events in practice, approaches to gender equality,conceptions of gender and age in BDSM sessions, and how BDSM is related tointimacy and relationships and experienced as a safe environment. A divergentfinding is that breathplay is considered common and ordinary. An analysis of selfcutting,in relation to self-harm behavior and BDSM, shows that self-cutting canhave several meanings.

Arctigenina é uma lignana isolada da Arctium lappa L., planta esta, pertencente a família Asteraceae que é amplamente utilizada na Medicina Tradicional Chinesa. Publicações citam inúmeras atividades farmacológicas do extrato bruto dessa planta e também da substância arctigenina, como a atividade anti-inflamatória, hepatoprotetora, hipoglicemiante, antitumoral, antimicrobiana, mas, estudos detalhados da atividade hepatoprotetora ainda não foram amplamente desenvolvidos. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi o isolamento, a obtenção e identificação da arctigenina a partir dos frutos da Arctium lappa L., para avaliar a atividade citotóxica in vitro frente à cultura de células de carcinoma hepático (HepG- 2) e tambén avaliar os efeitos dessa substância isolada em lesão hepática por Ligação do Ducto Biliar (BDL). O extrato clorofórmico bruto da Arctium lappa L. foi obtido por soxhlet. Para isolar as substâncias, foi realizada coluna a vácuo e observou grande quantidade de arctiina, uma precursora da arctigenina. Para obter a arctigenina, foi necessário realizar uma hidrólise para retirada da molécula de glicose presente na arctiina. A mesma foi identificada por RMN de 1H e 13C obtendo excelente grau de pureza e adicionalmente também foi realizado um perfil cromatográfico por CLAE. Nos experimentos in vitro, a arctigenina diminuiu a viabilidade celular no teste por MTT e azul de Tripan sobre células HepG-2 e não causou citotoxicidade sobre células NIH/3T3. O teste de adesão por fornecimento de colágeno tipo I sobre HepG-2 também foi realizado para observar os mecanismos que envolvem a atividade antitumoral da arctigenina. Nos experimentos in vivo foram realizadas cirurgias de BDL em ratos Wistar, com n= 6 e grupos divididos em: sham controle, sham arctigenina, BDL controle, BDL arctigenina e BDL silimarina. O tratamento dos animais foi feitos por 48 horas e após esse período, eutanasiados e o sangue e fígado foram coletados para realizar avaliações bioquímicas séricas (AST, ALT, FA e TNF-α) e também avaliação tissular (MPO). A metodologia de extração, isolamento e obtenção da arctigenina desenvolvida foi eficaz, diminuiu gastos com solventes e com o tempo para se obter as susbstâncias. Os parâmetros de confiança analisados por CLAE demonstraram que o método analítico desenvolvido foi específico e reprodutível, o que contribui para estudos em controle de qualidade e ensaios bioanalíticos. A arctigenina demonstrou atividade citotóxica e antiadesão, sendo a atividade dose dependente para células HepG-2, com IC 50 de 90,8 μM. Nenhuma atividade sobre células NIH/3T3, o que demonstrou ação específica sobre a células HepG-2. Resultados do estudo in vivo de 48 horas não apresentaram resultados significantes quando comprados aos grupos controle e controle positivo, entretanto, levantamentos bibliográficos mostram que a arctigenina é uma substância promissora e estudos de hepatoproteção por períodos maiores complementariam a elucidação de sua atividade.
Arctigenin is a lignan isolated from Arctium lappa L., this plant, belonging to family Asteraceae is widely used in traditional chinese medicine. Publications suggest numerous pharmacological activities of crude extracts of this plant and arctigenin as anti-inflammatory activity, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, anticancer and antimicrobial, however detailed studies of hepatoprotective activity have not yet been widely developed. The aim of this study was the isolation and identification of arctigenin obtained from the fruits of Arctium lappa L., to evaluate the cytotoxic in vitro of arctigenin in cell culture of liver carcinoma (HepG-2) and assess the effects of this isolated compound on liver injury by ligation bile duct (BDL). The crude chloroform extract of Arctium lappa L. was obtained by soxhlet. To isolate the compounds was held vacuum column and observed high concentration of arctiin, a precursor of arctigenin. To obtain arctigenin, it was necessary to carry out a hydrolysis to remove the glucose molecule present in arctiin. After, the molecule was identified by 1H NMR and 13C, attaining excellent purity, and additionally, was carried out his chromatographic profile by HPLC.. In vitro experiments show that the arctigenin decreased cell viability by MTT assay and the Trypan blue on HepG-2 cells and did not cause cytotoxicity on NIH/3T3 cells. Adhesion testing by providing collagen type I on HepG-2 was also carried out to observe the mechanisms involving the antitumor activity of arctigenin. In vivo experiments were performed by surgery in BDL rats, with n = 6 and divided into groups: sham control, sham arctigenin, control BDL, arctigenin BDL and silymarin BDL. The treatment of animals was made for 48 hours and after this period, euthanized and blood and liver were collected for serum biochemical assessments (AST, ALT, FA and TNF-α) and also tissue rating (MPO). The methodology of extraction, isolation and obtaining arctigenin developed was effective, decreased spending solvents and the time to get compounds. The trust parameters analyzed by HPLC showed that the analytical method was specific and reproducible, which contributes to quality control studies and bioanalytical assays. The arctigenin demonstrated cytotoxic activity and anti-adhesion, and dependent dose activity in HepG-2 cells, with IC 50 of 90.8 μM. No activity on NIH/3T3 cells, demonstrating the specific action on HepG-2 cells. Results of BDL done in 48 hours showed no significant results when comparing with control groups and positive control, however, literature reports show that the arctigenin is a promising compound and hepatoprotection studies for longer periods would complement the elucidation of its activity.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur fyra sexuellt dominanta kvinnor uppfattar sin sexualitet. Särskilt inriktar den sig på hur kvinnorna definierar sig som sexuellt dominanta och vad dominans innebär för dem sexuellt men också till vardags och generellt. Vidare undersöks hur informanterna uppfattar sin sexuella dominans i relation till sin identitet och sitt identitetsskapande överlag. För att kunna verkställa syftet har fyra kvinnor intervjuats som alla definierar sig som sexuellt dominanta på ett eller annat vis. Fortsättningsvis inriktar sig uppsatsen på kvinnor som utövar sin sexuella dominans via aktiviteter och uttryck för dominans vanliga inom bdsm.


This thesis aims to examine how four sexually dominant women understand their sexuality. It specifically concentrates upon how the women defines themselves as sexually dominant and what dominance means to them sexually but also what it means to them in everyday life and in general. Additionally this essay examines how the informants understand their sexual dominance in relation to their identity and in shaping their identity. In order to carry out the purpose of this thesis four women who define themselves in one way or another as sexually dominant have been interviewed. Furthermore the study focuses upon women who practice their sexual dominance through activities and expressions that are common in the world of bdsm.

The aim with this bachelor thesis was to gain a greater understanding for the power media holds in today’s society. To approach this we used a quantitative content analysis, were we analyzed 102 articles from Swedish printing press. This was made to be able to say something about how the media har created a hype around Fifty Shades as a phenomenon, and also to illustrate how Fifty Shades depiction of BDSM has been framed in the news coverage. We used the framing theory and the theory of media hype to reach the resulte that showed that media has created a hype around Fifty Shades. This indicate that the framing of the phenomenon has changed.

Full text
Abstract:
Research with individuals who practise consensual Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism, Masochism (BDSM) has revealed a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon which serves various functions for its practitioners. Historical associations of BDSM practice with underlying psychopathology, despite empirical evidence to the contrary, may lead to misunderstanding among practitioner psychologists and potentially biased or culturally insensitive psychological treatment of BDSM-oriented individuals. This Q-methodological study investigated subjective understandings of BDSM among practitioner psychologists and whether these understandings were shared with or separate from those who practise BDSM. Forty practitioner psychologists and 40 BDSM practitioners completed a q-sorting task and brief questionnaire online. Comparable majority understandings of BDSM – as a complex phenomenon concerned mainly with power and pleasure – emerged between the psychologist and BDSM practitioner groups. Psychologists generally did not consider themselves particularly knowledgeable on the subject of BDSM, partly due to having received limited teaching and training. There is a need for raising awareness among practitioner psychologists of BDSM as a non-normative, minority sexuality.

Abstract:
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to improve the understanding of Sexual Objectification (SO) of gay African American males in the bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism (BDSM) community. Although many studies have been conducted on SO of women and other minority populations, there is a lack of research on the lived experience of gay African American males participating in the BDSM community. The theoretical framework for this study was Fredrickson and Roberts's objectification theory, with a conceptual framework focused on SO that gay African American males experienced while participating in the BDSM community. The research questions were designed to elicit the participants' experiences about their participation in the BDSM community. Ten gay African American males, selected through purposive sampling, described their reasons for participating in the BDSM community, what the participants gained from participating in the BDSM community, how they experienced SO, how they handled these experiences, and how these experiences changed them. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed by hand. The data were analyzed in 3 stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding techniques. Five themes emerged from the interviews: community, gained knowledge and freedom, verbal objectification, avoidance, and mistrust. This study contributes to the existing body of literature and promotes social change by fostering dialog about objectification. Through this dialog, behavioral patterns and cultural norms can be altered over time by increasing awareness about objectification and its effects on people. This study provided gay African American males a voice to discuss a phenomenon that impacts their lives.

För att skapa en djupare förståelse för lesbiskt sexuellt våld blir det viktigt att undersöka hur det samtyckta lesbiska sexet fungerar, samt vilka aspekter i dessa sexuella praktiker som möjliggör missförstånd och ignorans av samtycke från de olika parterna. Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur föreställningar om sexuell praktik, genus och sexualitet påverkar hur samtycke förstås och kommuniceras inom ramen för lesbiska sexuella praktiker. Detta genomförs med hjälp av fem kvalitativa intervjuer med personer med erfarenhet av lesbiska sexpraktiker, vilka sedan har analyserats med en queerfenomenologisk ingång. Utifrån analysen kan det konstateras att kommunikation kring samtycke ofta sker genom kroppslig inkänning, och i mindre utsträckning genom tal. Detta kan ibland leda till missförstånd, men blir en naturlig förlängning av att sexet inte har samma mall att följa som heteronormativt sex har. Förväntningar på den lesbiska relationen, viljan att upprätthålla en feministisk eller lesbisk identitet, samt vilka sexuella praktiker som utförs är exempel på faktorer som kan påverka hur ett sexuellt samtycke uppfattas eller kommuniceras. Detta kan i sin tur bidra till att lusten hamnar i andra rummet och att sexuella praktiker utförs utan alla parters fulla samtycke.

Abstract:
La thèse qualitative présentée questionne la diversité du plaisir sexuel. Une population de dix artistes aux goûts, pratiques et orientations sexuelles variées a été mobilisée. Sur la base des données récoltées entre 2013 et 2019 en France et notamment en Alsace et à Paris, trois grandes thématiques ont été développées. Les portraits détaillés des informateurs sont présentés en premier lieu, agrémentés d’une réflexion sur la difficulté de catégoriser cette population avec les typologies existantes. Suite à quoi il importait de donner une cohérence à cette population en mettant le focus sur ce qui fait sexualité selon ses membres. En l’occurrence la sexualité est conçue comme un jeu, une aventure, autrement dit une expérience émotionnelle trépidante car aléatoire, parfois risquée. Nous nous intéresserons aux stratégies développées par les individus afin de maintenir cette activité ludique, liminoïde, dans le temps. Nous penserons également l’impact de ce désir de liminoïde, devenu norme, sur les relations communautaires (distinction et rejet). Enfin, sera abordée la problématique de la construction d’une interaction répondant aux principes éthiques et érotiques de la population. Nous verrons comment celle-ci négocie l’interaction entre nécessité d’une interaction safe et satisfaisante pour chaque partenaire et désir d’aventure
This qualitative research is focuses on a reflection about the diversity sexual pleasure. In order to study the question, ten artists with various sexual tastes, practices and orientation have been involved. Three major themes have been elaborated on the basis of the data collected between 2013 and 2019 in France and especially in Alsace and Paris. Firstly, descriptive portraits of informants are presented, including a reflection on the challenge of categorizing this population with existing typologies. Subsequently, it was important to give consistency to this panel, with a focus on their approaches of sexuality. To them, sexuality is a game, an adventure, in other words a hectic emotional experience, sometimes hazardous. We will examine the strategies developed in order to maintain this playful, liminoid activity over time. We will also consider the impact of this liminoid desire, which has become their norm, on community relations (distinction and rejection). Finally, the problem of performing an interaction that meets the ethical and erotic principles of the population will be discussed. We will see how informants negotiate the interaction between the necessity of a safe and satisfying interaction for each partner and their desire for adventure

Abstract:
This essay explored gendered embodiement within the practice of kinbaku, also called shibari or Japanese rope bondage. The research has been done within the Swedish kinbaku community using ethnographic methods consisting of interviews with practitioners of kinbaku and complete participation observations. By using phenomenology of touch as a methodological and theoretical approach together with theories of somatechnics the intimate experiences and relationships practitioners have to kinbaku, the practice of rope bondage can be understood as processes of embodiement through affect, sensation and technology. By using this understanding of kinbaku questions are asked about how these embodied positions are gendered and further what possibilities, restrictions and potential of renegotiating these positions are embedded within the practice.

Full text
Abstract:
The Becker-DeGroot-Marschak method (BDM) is an auction-like mechanism widely used in behavioural economics, marketing research, and, more recently, in neuroimaging studies of human decision making. The BDM has never been used with animal subjects before, yet its application in monkeys would allow for comparison of studies across species while providing a direct measure of what a reward is worth to a monkey in a single experimental trial. In the BDM, a subject is given a budget with which they can place a bid for some reward, and a computer then randomly selects a competing bid. If the subject’s bid is higher than the computer’s bid then the subject pays an amount equal to the computer’s bid, receives the reward object, and gets to keep the remaining budget. If the subject’s bid is lower than the computer’s bid, the subject does not gain the reward object but retains the entire budget. To adapt the task for monkeys, two rhesus macaques were taught to use water as a budget, and to use a joystick to place a bid in terms of this budget for different volumes of fruit-juice reward. The BDM ensures that the subject’s optimal action is to place a bid equal to their value for the reward-object. This property of truthful value revelation is the BDM’s most important feature in the context of value-based decision making. Currently, the only method of eliciting a monkey’s value for one reward in terms of another depends upon inference of the magnitudes at which the two rewards are chosen with equal probability. Using this ‘binary-choice’ method, many trials are needed to infer a single value: pairwise comparisons of many different magnitudes must be made and choices of each pair must be repeated so that the probability of choosing a reward can be estimated. In contrast, the BDM provides a direct measure of the monkey’s value for the reward as they explicitly state this value on each trial by selecting an equivalent bid. Therefore, the BDM more efficiently utilises the limited time in which a monkey’s behaviour can be assessed in each experimental session, as animals lose the motivation to participate when they become sated. The thesis summarised here describes the training and performance of two rhesus macaques on a novel version of the BDM, specifically designed for a subject that cannot be instructed on the optimal strategy. The technical steps and intermediate tasks that are needed to train a monkey to flexibly place bids by operating a joystick are also detailed, as well as the development of different versions of the task over three years of testing. The results of the final version of the BDM are then presented for both monkeys, showing rational bidding behaviour consistent with an understanding of the method’s contingencies. Theoretical concerns and limitations of the BDM in such a setting are also discussed and the thesis outlines how future experiments can make use of and adapt this version of the BDM for neuronal recording experiments.

Abstract:
Historically, kinky sexualities and sexual behaviors have been understood as pathological or perverse. Such misunderstandings and misrepresentations have contributed to the development and perpetuation of kink stigma. The aim of this retrospective, cross-sectional, correlational research study was to explore the potential relationship(s) between pathology, personality, and kinky sexual behaviors/roles in adulthood. Guided by queer-feminist theory, the research questions addressed whether personality traits, experiences of childhood trauma, or a combination thereof, were predictors for kinky behaviors/roles in adulthood. A multi measure, anonymous, and confidential survey was distributed online including the Childhood Traumatic Events Scale as a childhood trauma questionnaire, the Mini-IPIP, and the sadomasochism checklist. Multiple regression analyses were used, and the results showed that experiences of childhood trauma, personality characteristics, or the combination of both were not significant predictors for kinky sexual behaviors in adulthood. Among the sample surveyed, there were no significant relationships found between the variables to provide sufficient evidence to support the negative perceptions and stigmatization of the kinky population. These findings contribute to social change by better informing deficiencies in the historical pathology-based and personality-based academic literature on kinky sexualities. Additionally, the findings of the present study provide others with an increased awareness and understanding of the kink community and lifestyles which benefits evolving society and psychological professionals, scholars, and the kink community.

Abstract:
Kink has a long history of being condemned in Western society. Even though kink is prevalent in popular culture (and in many people’s bedrooms) it continues to be considered abnormal and associated with deviance. Through nine in-depth qualitative interviews, this thesis explores the experiences of kinksters with kink, their engagement with the kink community, and their negotiations of stigma in everyday life. These experiences are analyzed using Foucault’s theories on discourse and technologies of the self and Goffman’s conceptualization of stigma. The thesis found that while the social condemnation of kink has resulted in members of the kink community struggling to manage their identity as kinksters, they also find joy and a sense of belonging within the kink community. Moreover, through the kink community, kinksters learn to conceptualize and practice consent in a new way; one that is rooted in being an ethical subject. The thesis concludes with a call to challenge the normative tropes and stigmatic assumptions of deviance that continue to marginalize and oppress kinksters.

Abstract:

BDSM includes a variety of acronyms: Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism, and is rooted in sane, safe, and consensual sex. The understanding that BDSM is abnormal or deviant is rooted in the notion that sexual pleasure derived from unconventional methods is pathological, and is a manifestation of childhood trauma and/or poor adjustment to society. This additionally translates to the notion that one who engages in consensual non-conventional sexual behavior has poor self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of childhood trauma among individuals who practice BDSM and how this relates to their self-esteem. The exploratory study used a questionnaire including demographic data, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Self Report (CTQ-SR; Bernstein & Fink, 1998) to determine the presence of childhood trauma, including physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) to determine the degree of self-esteem. A comparison was made between individuals who self-identified as practicing BDSM and those who do not. The research questions were as follows: Does childhood trauma, including physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse differ based on engagement in BDSM? Does self-esteem differ based on engagement in BDSM among individuals with a history of childhood trauma? Does self-esteem differ based on engagement in BDSM among individuals with no history of childhood trauma? A MANOVA and factorial analysis was used to analyze the data.

Abstract:
Pour se protéger des stress environnementaux, les bactéries possèdent des systèmes de transduction du signal appelés phosphorelais His-Asp. Chez Escherichia coli, le phosphorelais RcsCDB est essentiel dans certaines conditions de stress et est impliqué dans la formation de biofilm. Ce système contrôle la synthèse de la capsule, la division cellulaire et la production du facteur sS en réponse à un stress de l'enveloppe. L'objectif de cette thèse était de mieux comprendre le rôle du système RcsCDB ainsi que les déterminants nécessaires à la régulation par RcsB et son cofacteur RcsA. L'identification des cibles du système RcsCDB/A par une approche globale suggère qu'une de ses fonctions consiste en un remodelage de l'enveloppe. Une étude plus approfondie de la régulation de deux cibles du système, flhDC et bdm, montre le premier exemple de régulation négative par RcsB et RcsA et renforce l'hypothèse selon laquelle le système Rcs contribue à l'efficacité de formation d'un biofilm
To protect themselves against environmental stresses, bacteria use signal transduction systems, the so-called His-Asp phosphorelays. In Escherichia coli, the RcsCDB phosphorelay is essential under certain conditions of stress and is involved in biofilm development. This system controls capsule synthesis, cell division and sS production in response to envelope stresses. The objective of my thesis was to understand the biological role of the RcsCDB/A system and to identify the determinants of the regulation by the response regulator RcsB and its cofactor RcsA. Using a global approach, we characterized RcsB and RcsA regulons. This study suggests that one function of the Rcs system consists in envelope remodelling. A thorough study of the regulation of two targets of the Rcs system, flhDC and bdm, shows the first example of a negative regulation by RcsB and RcsA and strengthens the assumption that the Rcs system contributes to the effectiveness of biofilm formation

Neste trabalho pretendeu-se, recorrendo aos métodos e técnicas desenvolvidos no âmbito da Economia Experimental, determinar a disposição a pagar de consumidores portugueses por produtos alimentares biológicos e avaliar o impacto da presença de sinais de qualidade na disposição a pagar. Assim, foram realizados vários mercados experimentais, utilizando o mecanismo Becker-DeGroot-Marschak, no decorrer dos quais os participantes revelaram a sua disposição a pagar por maçãs com diferentes sinais de qualidade: “Convencional”, “Protecção Integrada”, “Vida Auchan”, “Maçã de Alcobaça” e “Agricultura Biológica”. Os participantes valorizaram as maçãs em quatro situações de informação distintas: uma primeira situação de “prova cega”; na segunda situação de informação valorizaram apenas com base nos sinais extrínsecos de qualidade; na terceira situação foi fornecida informação adicional acerca dos sinais de qualidade, e na última situação já detinham plena informação acerca das maçãs e foi realizada nova prova. Os resultados permitem concluir que os consumidores reconhecem e valorizam o logótipo biológico e estão dispostos a pagar um prémio por alimentos produzidos de acordo com o modo de produção biológico
