Abstract:

Alla base di questa tesi vi è lo studio di UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) Swarm Network che utilizzano LTE Side-Link per la comunicazione fra nodi. In particolare, si valutano le prestazioni di un sistema simulato con OMNeT++ con numero di UAVs variabile, che come tecnologia di comunicazione utilizza LTE Side-Link Mode 4. L'obbiettivo è quello di estendere questa tecnologia con il multi-hop e quindi abilitare la consegna di tutti i pacchetti creati dal mittente al destinatario che non si trova nel suo raggio di comunicazione diretto. Nella simulazione i nodi sono posizionati su una linea retta, ad una distanza prefissata l’uno dall’altro, in modo tale che ogni nodo possa comunicare soltanto con i propri vicini. Essi mantengono la propria posizione durante tutta la simulazione, soltanto il primo nodo invia messaggi, tutti destinati all’ultimo della catena. Le metriche utilizzate per la valutazione sono: PDR, Delay medio nella ricezione dei pacchetti e Throughput. I test sono stati condotti con numero di UAV variabile e TTI fisso. I risultati ottenuti dimostrano il successo nell’implementazione di un sistema multi-hop e ne determinano i suoi limiti, infatti dai dati ricavati si evince come le prestazioni degradino all’aumentare del numero di nodi.

Resumo: Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo comparativo preliminar, sob o ponto de vista sincrônico, entre as línguas Tupi-Kagwahib: Parintintin (Tenharim) e Uru-euuau..,uau (Amondava). O Parintintin (Tenharim) é falado por cerca de duzentos e oitenta indígenas, localizados na região sul do estado do Amazonas. O Uru-eu-uau-uau possui cerca de 129 falantes distribuídos em cinco sub-grupos, na região central do estado de Rondônia, entre os quais figura o subgrupo Amondava. O trabalho divide-se em três capítulos: o primeiro deles traz informações acerca da bibliografia etnográfica e lingüística disponível sobre os povos Parintintin (Tenharim) e Uru-eu-uau-uau (Amondava). O segundo desenvolve uma análise comparativa entre a fonologia Parintintin (Tenharim) e Uru-eu-uau-uau (Amondava). Caracteriza-se este capítulo, também, por apresentar uma descrição preliminar da fonologia Uru-eu-uau-uau. O terceiro capítulo mostra um estudo comparativo lexical entre as línguas em questão. Procuramos, através deste estudo, verificar se o Uru-eu-uau-uau (Amondava) e o Parintintin (Tenharim) são línguas diferentes entre si ou se são variedades de uma única língua. Com isto, esperamos contribuir para com os estudos comparativos entre as línguas da família Tupi-Guarani, bem como para com uma revisão na classificação das línguas do grupo Tupi-Kawahib
Abstract: This dissertation presents a comparative synchronal study between Tupi-Kagwahib languages: Parintintin (Tenharim) and Uru-eu-uau-uau (Amondava). Parintintin (Tenharim) language is used by almost 280 speakers, in the south of Amazonas. Uru-eu-uau-uau (Amondava) is spoken by about 129 indians, in the central area of Rondônia. This work has three chapters: the first presents a brief account on the bibliographlc material that is related to Uru-eu-uau-uau, Amondava, Tenharim and Parintintin groups. The second presents a preliminary comparison between Tupi-Kawahib languages at the phonologyc level. The third one shows a lexical comparision. This work shows us that Parintintin, Tenharim, Uru-eu-uau-uau and Amondava are just dialectal varieties of one single language: the Kagwahib

Abstract:

This thesis considers the works of contemporary visual artists through the lens of Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi (1896). I begin by arguing that the play marked a founding moment in the history of abstraction, one that cuts against the grain of convention and common sense. I relate this mode of abstraction to what Jarry calls phynance and argue that this category emerges in Ubu Roi as a material process that can be understood in psychic, physiological and economic terms. It is with this possibility in mind that the following chapters seek to challenge previous understandings of abstraction in the visual arts. In order to do so I analyse a condensed range of artistic practices from the contemporary moment. By paying close attention to the formal properties of the artwork, I attempt to demonstrate how the artwork can be understood as both an economic and pathological object, either neurotic, psychotic, perverted, paranoiac or hypochondriac.

A adolesc?ncia ? uma fase marcada por mudan?as f?sicas e psicol?gicas, sendo um momento prop?cio ao surgimento de transtornos psicol?gicos. O interesse pelo estudo da depress?o na adolesc?ncia ? recente e tem chamado a aten??o de alguns pesquisadores devido a sua elevada preval?ncia e os riscos com o uso de subst?ncias psicoativas. Com o objetivo de estudar a tem?tica: associa??o entre sintomas depressivos e uso na vida de cannabis, foi elaborada esta disserta??o que est? composta por dois artigos, sendo um de revis?o te?rica e outro emp?rico. No artigo te?rico foi realizada, atrav?s de revis?o sistem?tica, a an?lise dos artigos indexados localizados nos sistemas Medline, PsycInfo, ProQuest, Web of Science e Lilacs, entre 2000 e 2005, usando os descritores: depressive symptoms, adolescence, teenager, cannabis. Foram revisados 80 abstracts, tendo sido selecionados 36 artigos completos, sendo inclu?dos os 9 artigos que tratavam de sintomas depressivos ou depress?o e o uso ou depend?ncia de cannabis em adolescentes. A maioria dos estudos afirma existir uma associa??o entre sintomas depressivos e o uso de cannabis na adolesc?ncia, cabe salientar que esta associa??o ? mais freq?ente no uso precoce e regular de cannabis. Tendo em vista estes achados tornam-se importante a investiga??o destas vari?veis na pr?tica cl?nica quando se atende esta clientela. O segundo artigo, emp?rico, responde ao projeto que deu origem a esta disserta??o, que objetivou verificar a associa??o entre os sintomas depressivos e uso na vida de subst?ncias psicoativas em adolescentes. Trata-se de um estudo de delineamento transversal, com amostra por conveni?ncia. Participaram 706 adolescentes entre 15 a 22 anos de idade, de uma escola p?blica e uma escola privada de Porto Alegre-RS. Os instrumentos utilizados foram, uma Ficha de Dados Sociodemogr?ficos que investiga tamb?m h?bitos do adolescente, desempenho escolar e uso de subst?ncias psicoativas e o Invent?rio de Depress?o de Beck (BDI). Os resultados indicaram a exist?ncia de 28% de sintomas depressivos na amostra. As meninas tiveram escores mais altos que os meninos. Os adolescentes que fizeram uso na vida de ?lcool, tabaco e coca?na apresentaram mais sintomas depressivos, havendo uma associa??o entre sintomas depressivos e o uso destas subst?ncias psicoativas.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the process undertaken and the challenges encountered in staging Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi as part of the UBC Department of Theatre and Film’s season at the Frederic Wood Theatre, March 20 to April 5, 2014. As outlined in the following pages, I attempted to find a way to honor the controversy wrought by the original production in 1896 in a theatrical ecology where shocking an audience is extremely challenging. By drawing inspiration from Ubu’s Paris premiere and also from the plays origins in a collective schoolboy imagination, I created a framework within which we presented our interpretation of Jarry’s classic play.

Abstract:

Taking its depature point in a translation of a play by a Czech playwright and philosopher, Václav Havel, into Swahili, the article strives at a cross-cultural comparison of a pivotal concept of Havel`s thought, lidství (`humanity´), and an equally central concept of Swahili moral and philosophical thought, utu. The basis of this copmparison is, on the Czech side, an explanation of Havel`s concept and its grounding in existentialist philosophy. The Swahili side is presented in a two-step procedure. First, the semantic field of `humanity´in the Swahili language, comprising utu and several concepts related to it (especially ubinadamu), is analyzed. Second, the concepts belonging to the semantic field of utu are traced in the development of Swahili literature, as a prominent representative of intellecual discourses in the Swahili culture.

Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the comprehensive research and design of costumes for the play Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, including documentation of the creative process from the initial analysis of the play to the final designs. This play was written in the late 19th century and is considered to be a precurser to Surrealism and Theatre of the Absurd. The story is about the brief and tyrannical reign of a hideous, backward individual named Ubu, who comes to power by murdering the Polish king. The play is notable for its rough playfulness, ruthlessness with regard to social and cultural traditions, its open-mindedness and unique use of language. On the surface it comes across as a silly farce, but it contains many deeper undertones that cause Jarry to be sometimes regarded as a symbolist writer. This work is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with the author of the play, its content and the context in which it was written, and studies how it was staged in the past. It is not the aim to offer a coherent overview of the life of Alfred Jarry, his work, or the history of past productions of King Ubu. Instead, the information contained here is intended only as a documentation of the historical and theoretical research necessary to understand this work, which ultimately had an impact on the final designs. Part two documents the process of developing the costume designs themselves. Initially it introduces the key considerations that arose from reading the play that affected the overall progress of the work. There follows an analysis of the characters and situations based on the text, and sources of inspiration. The main section describes the final designs of the set and costumes that are supported by attached images.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the resource management problems of a group of foreign students. The sample surveyed was 300 foreign students who attended Utah State University during fall quarter of 1984. A questionnaire was used to examine the students' degree of difficulty with resource management. The differences in the degree of difficulty with resource management and respondents' gender , academic level, marital status, length of stay in the U.S. and geographic origin were tested by Analysis of Variance. Significant differences were found in the degree of difficulty with resource management and the length of stay in the U.S. and geographical origin of respondents. The degree of difficulty with resource management was not significantly different by marital status, gender or academic level. Additionally, finances, language, and homesickness were found to be the most serious problem areas during the academic sojourn at USU. The respondents expressed interest in learning more about medical, banking, and auto repair services.

We study the health care focused on care in an intercessor and dialogical relationship with the User, which involves the construction of therapeutic projects essential to the quality of the treatment of the user in health services, and it is necessary individual and collective actions. It is intended to acknowledge and analyze the perception of social subjects, users and professionals on the treatment given to a user of a Specialized Outpatient Service (Servi?o Ambulatorial Especializado SAE) in STD/HIV/AIDS state reference in Natal, RN. The study is structured in a transdisciplinary vision of science and knowledge, theoretical and methodological principles that give meaning to the expression of the institutional features of care and health care reconnecting them to the social context. As a research strategy we seek the expressions of 56 subjects of social research, which agreed to participate in the sample, from a symbolic map of the attention, coupled with the techniques of observation and semi-structured interview. For the analysis of the results, five categories of analysis were established: the meaning of the service, care perception, process of communication and interaction, treatment perception and organization and evaluation of the service. It is argued that the attention and care are developed in a technical health care assistance to the disease, focusing on attention based on treatment, on diagnostic and drug therapy of antiretroviral drugs, reflecting the traditional biomedical paradigm of attention to the disease. This is also the mode of organization of practical actions in daily SAE: the therapy proves to be fragmented in several specialties, vertical and feeds the same model, generating tension and overload for professionals; showing impersonal care focused on structured and informative technology, unrelated to an interactive dialogic. From the speech of the subjects, the SAE is understood as the place of confrontation with the disease, but also enables greater elaboration of the illness by meeting their peers. Living with HIV and AIDS is living with concern, apprehension and fear, but mainly with the stigma, prejudice and exclusion, which require that the disease is kept in secret. There is a movement of forces and power, expressed in the knowledge-power of those who dominate the technical and administrative capabilities, devices that concentrate the maintenance of the medicalization of care, rapid consultations and with little attention, making it difficult to interact with and listen to, combined with structural failures, organizational and inadequate management of the service. We conclude that there are dimensions that are not considered in the internal dynamics of the care service multiple forms, characterized by care conflicting models, marked by individual interventions related to the disease. The subject is not considered together with his speech as technical discourse is imposed and care production based on material technology is observed
Estuda-se a aten??o ? sa?de centrada no cuidar, em uma rela??o intercessora e dial?gica com o usu?rio, que envolve a constru??o de projetos terap?uticos essenciais para a qualidade do tratamento do usu?rio nos servi?os de sa?de, sendo fundamentais a??es individuais e coletivas. Tem-se como objetivo conhecer e analisar a percep??o dos sujeitos sociais, usu?rios e profissionais, sobre o tratamento dispensado ao usu?rio de um Servi?o Ambulatorial Especializado em DST/HIV/Aids, refer?ncia estadual em Natal, RN. Articulam-se, em uma vis?o transdisciplinar da ci?ncia e do conhecimento, referenciais te?rico-metodol?gicos que possam dar sentido ? express?o das caracter?sticas institucionais da aten??o e do cuidado em sa?de, religando-as ao contexto social. Como estrat?gia de pesquisa, buscam-se as express?es dos 56 sujeitos sociais da investiga??o, que aceitaram participar da amostra, a partir de uma cartografia simb?lica da aten??o, associada a t?cnicas de observa??o e entrevista semi-estruturada. Para an?lise dos resultados, estabeleceram-se cinco categorias de an?lise: significado do servi?o, percep??o do atendimento; processo de comunica??o e intera??o; percep??o do tratamento e organiza??o e avalia??o do servi?o. Discute-se que a aten??o e o cuidado desenvolvem-se em uma assist?ncia tecno-assistencial ? doen?a, centrados em uma aten??o focada no tratamento, na solicita??o de exames e na terap?utica medicamentosa dos anti-retrovirais, reflexo do paradigma tradicional biom?dico de aten??o ? doen?a. Este tamb?m ? o modo de organiza??o das a??es pr?ticas no cotidiano do SAE: a conduta terap?utica mostra-se fragmentada nas diversas especialidades, verticalizada e retro-alimentada no mesmo modelo, gerando tens?o e sobrecarga aos profissionais; evidenciam-se atendimentos impessoais focados em tecnologias estruturadas e informativas, desvinculadas da dial?gica interativa. A partir dos discursos dos sujeitos, o SAE ? interpretado como o lugar do confronto com a doen?a, mas tamb?m possibilita maiores elabora??es do adoecer pelo encontro com os iguais. Conviver com o HIV e Aids ? conviver com receios, apreens?o e medo, mas principalmente com o estigma, o preconceito e a exclus?o, o que requer o sigilo da doen?a. H? circula??o de for?as e de poder, expressos no saber-poder t?cnico-profissional e administrativo, dispositivos que concentram a manuten??o da medicaliza??o do atendimento, consultas r?pidas e com pouca aten??o, o que dificulta a intera??o e a escuta, aliados a falhas estruturais, organizacionais e a um gerenciamento inadequado do servi?o. Conclui-se que h? dimens?es n?o consideradas na din?mica interna das m?ltiplas formas do cuidar, caracterizado pelo modelo conflitante da aten??o, marcado por interven??es individuais relacionadas ? doen?a. Desconsidera-se o sujeito de seu discurso, imputando-lhe discursos tecnicistas, e observa-se a produ??o do cuidado baseada na tecnologia material

O uso de drogas ? um fen?meno que ocorre com muita freq??ncia na adolesc?ncia, por ser um per?odo de maior vulnerabilidade, no qual o indiv?duo ainda n?o desenvolveu de forma adequada algumas habilidades. Como ? uma etapa do desenvolvimento que envolve adapta??es e mudan?as, pode propiciar o surgimento de transtornos psicol?gicos, comportamentais e sociais, entre os quais, o transtorno por uso de subst?ncias. Entre as drogas il?citas, a maconha ? a mais usada, aparecendo em primeiro lugar nas pesquisas e com maior uso por adolescentes do sexo masculino. Nos transtornos por uso de maconha, podem existir d?ficits em habilidades sociais sob a forma de baixa compet?ncia social e dificuldades espec?ficas, como enfrentamento de situa??es de risco ? auto-estima e resolu??o de problemas. O objetivo dessa disserta??o ? contribuir para o conhecimento cient?fico a partir da compreens?o dos comportamentos de intera??o social em nossa realidade, com a proposta de verificar a associa??o entre as habilidades sociais em adolescentes com abuso ou depend?ncia de maconha com as habilidades sociais de adolescentes sem uso de maconha. Esta disserta??o compreende dois estudos: uma revis?o te?rica e um estudo emp?rico. Na parte te?rica, realizou-se uma revis?o sobre as habilidades sociais em adolescentes usu?rios de maconha, atrav?s de buscas nas bases de dados Pschynfo, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Proquest, Medline e Lilacs, entre 1996 e 2006. Os descritores utilizados foram social skills, social skills training, social competence, assertiveness, adolescents, teeenagers, substance abuse, drugs abuse, cannabis e marijuana. Nas bases de l?ngua portuguesa, os descritores foram habilidades sociais, treinamento em habilidades sociais, assertividade, adolescentes, abuso de subst?ncias, drogas e maconha. Tamb?m foram analisados livros e artigos que n?o se encontravam nas refer?ncias das fontes indexadas. Encontrou-se na literatura pesquisas, em sua maioria de l?ngua inglesa, apontando a exist?ncia de d?ficits, principalmente a dificuldade em resistir ?s drogas e dizer n?o, al?m de concluir que a constru??o de habilidades de resist?ncia ao oferecimento de drogas, a auto-efic?cia e o est?mulo ? capacidade de tomada de decis?es, pode reduzir o uso de subst?ncias. Poucos estudos brasileiros foram encontrados abordando esta tem?tica. O estudo emp?rico objetivou avaliar as habilidades sociais de adolescentes usu?rios de maconha e comparar seu desempenho com n?o usu?rios de maconha, a fim de identificar se h? ou n?o maior d?ficit nas habilidades sociais no grupo de usu?rios. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: ficha de dados s?cio-demogr?ficos, entrevista cl?nica estruturada, baseada nos crit?rios do DSMIV; Invent?rio de Habilidades Sociais IHS; Screening Cognitivo do WISC-III e do WAIS-III e Invent?rios de Ansiedade e de Depress?o de Beck - BAI e BDI. A amostra total constituiu-se de 98 adolescentes, subdividida em dois grupos, 49 usu?rios de maconha e 49 n?o usu?rios de maconha, com idades entre 15 e 22 anos, e escolaridade m?nima de 5? s?rie do Ensino Fundamental. Foi um estudo quantitativo, transversal, observacional, de compara??o entre dois grupos: usu?rios de maconha e n?o usu?rios de maconha. Os resultados mostraram diferen?as significativas no screening cognitivo e na avalia??o da presen?a de sintomas de ansiedade e depress?o, com maiores preju?zos no grupo de usu?rios de maconha. Os achados finais apontam que n?o houve diferen?as estat?sticas significativas no escore geral do IHS entre o grupo de usu?rios e n?o usu?rios, mas foram encontradas diferen?as significativas entre os grupos em rela??o a dois dos cinco fatores do IHS. O grupo de usu?rios de maconha apresentou um desempenho mais prejudicado no Fator 4, Auto-exposi??o a desconhecidos ou a situa??es novas e no Fator 5, Autocontrole da agressividade a situa??es aversivas.Conclui-se com esse estudo que adolescentes usu?rios de maconha apresentam mais preju?zos nas habilidades que adolescentes n?o usu?rios de maconha.

Abstract:

Consumers need to acquire financial knowledge and confidence in order to take effectual actions to accumulate adequate retirement wealth and improve their overall financial well-being. Thus, quality financial education programs are needed to empower consumers to achieve these goals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Utah State University (USU) Retirement and Savings Seminar as measured by participant satisfaction and participants‘ financial knowledge, financial confidence, and financial behavior change compared to a similar group of non-participants. The program evaluation was guided by a logic model developed for the seminar. Data for this study were collected with three online questionnaires emailed to USU employees who enrolled in the seminar as well as a comparison group matched by gender and employment category. A total of 188 individuals responded to the surveys, with subsamples of 54 treatment group participants and 134 comparison group participants. Results from chi-square crosstabulations and an independent samples t test revealed that age, total household income, and current retirement assets were the only significant group differences between seminar participants and non-participants. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Retirement and Savings Seminar is a beneficial program. Overall, seminar participants reported that they were very satisfied with the seminar and would recommend it to other university employees in the future. Results from the hierarchical regression models found a significant increase in seminar participants‘ financial knowledge and financial confidence from the pretest to the posttest. Additionally, seminar participants improved their financial knowledge and financial confidence scores more than non-participants above and beyond group differences in age, total household income, and pretest scores. A one-way repeated measures ANOVA found that financial behavior also increased more for seminar participants than for non-participants two months after completing the seminar. According to the Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTM), individuals progress through five stages of behavior change to modify a problem behavior or acquire a positive behavior. Consistent with this theory, a Wilcoxon signed-ranks test indicated that the seminar helped seminar participants to progress to a higher TTM stage of change more than non-participants.

It is unclear how temperament is related to alcohol-related behavior in large population studies. We have used the Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament Scale (AFECTS) model to evaluate how emotional traits and affective temperaments are associated with alcohol use, abuse, and dependence in the general population. Data from 10,603 subjects (mean age=28.0?7.8yrs, 70.3% females) was collected anonymously by the Internet in Brazil using the AFECTS model and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Alcohol use was stratified into control, low use, abuse, and dependence groups. The analysis of dimensional traits showed that Volition and Coping were lower, and Sensitivity was higher, in the abuse and dependence groups, with no differences between the Control and the Low Use groups. Alcohol consumption was also associated with lower Control, Stability, and Caution, and higher with Anger, Anxiety, and Desire, with significant differences between all groups. Regarding affective temperament types, alcohol abuse and dependence were associated with euphoric and cyclothymic temperaments in both genders, which was mirrored by a lower frequency of both euthymic and hyperthymictypes. Only hyperthymics were overrepresented in the Control group for both genders. A global dysfunction of emotional traits and a predominance of cyclothymic and euphoric temperaments were associated with alcohol-related behavior. Prevention and treatment strategies may be developed more effectively if these traits are taken into account.
N?o est? claro na literatura como otemperamento associa-se a comportamentos relacionados ao consumo de ?lcool em grandes estudos populacionais. Utilizamos o modelo Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament Scale (AFECTS) para avaliar como tra?os emocionais e temperamentos afetivos relacionam-se ao uso, abuso e depend?ncia de ?lcool na popula??o geral. Dados de 10.603 participantes (m?dia de idade = 28.0 ? 7.8 anos, 70,3% mulheres) foram coletados anonimamente pela Internet no Brasil utilizando o modelo AFECTS e o Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Estratificamos os sujeitos de acordo com o consumo da subst?ncia, sendo os grupos respectivamente nomeados: controle (baix?ssimo uso), baixo uso, abuso e depend?ncia. As an?lises para tra?os emocionais mostraram que nos grupos de abuso e depend?ncia os n?veis de Vontade e Maturidade (Coping) foram mais baixos, enquanto que os escores de Sensibilidade estavam mais altos, sem diferen?as entre os grupos controle e baixo uso. O consumo de ?lcool foi tamb?m associado com baixo Controle, Estabilidade e Cautela, alta Raiva, Ansiedade e Desejo, apresentando diferen?as significativas entre todos os grupos. Com rela??o aos tipos de temperamento afetivo, abuso e depend?ncia de ?lcool foram associados com temperamentos euf?rico e ciclot?mico em ambos os sexos, acompanhados de uma menor freq??ncia dos tipos eut?mico e hipert?mico. Apenas os hipert?micos tiveram alta representatividade no grupo controle, tanto para homens quanto para mulheres. A exist?ncia de uma disfun??o global de tra?os emocionais e a predomin?ncia de temperamentos ciclot?mico e euf?rico foram associados a comportamentos relacionados ao consumo de ?lcool. Ressalta-se que estrat?gias de preven??o e tratamento podem ser desenvolvidas de forma mais eficaz,sendo estas caracter?sticas identificadas e consideradas.

Abstract:

The region of Baḥrayn in eastern Arabia during the post-Qarmāṭian era has received little attention from scholars because of the scarcity of local written sources and the daunting task of gathering scattered small pieces of information from other sources in more than one language. This thesis focuses on the politics, geopolitics, economy, literature and religion of Baḥrayn from c. 1050 to c. 1400 CE. It consists of eight chapters in addition to an introduction and a conclusion. The introduction presents the research framework of the thesis. World-systems Analysis in a pre-capitalist setting is used to analyse Baḥrayn’s hierarchical position in the Near East according to its economic, political and cultural characteristics. It also sets out the historical background and context of the region, presents the thesis’ questions and structure, reviews modern studies and summarises the extant literary and archaeological evidence. Chapter One describes the historical geography and economy of Baḥrayn and analyses the impact of the region’s geography and the wider economic context on its history. Chapter Two studies the two rebellions against the Qarāmiṭa on the island of Uwāl and in the city of al-Qaṭīf, which led to the establishment of the emirate of Āl al-Zajjāj and the emirate of Āl ʿAbbās. Chapters Three and Four deal with the rise and decline of the ʿUyūnid emirate (1077-1230s CE) and study the ʿUyūnids’ institutions, including their administration and army formation. Chapter Five concentrates on the powers that ruled the region of Baḥrayn after the fall of the ʿUyūnid emirate in 1230s CE: the ʿUqaylid emirate in al-Aḥsāʾ and the deserts of Baḥrayn and Najd, and the Iranian-based polities that ruled Uwāl and al-Qaṭīf. Chapter Six focuses on literature produced in Baḥrayn, presenting biographies of its poets and analyses of the commentary of the poetry collection of the poet ʿAlī ibn al-Muqarrab al-ʿUyūnī and Abū al-Buhlūl’s letter. It also examines the relationship between the poets and the emirs of the ʿUyūnid emirate. Finally, Chapters Seven and Eight shed light on religion in Baḥrayn. They examine the region’s communities of Shīʿites and Sunnis which appear to have adhered to popular forms of Ismāʿīlism, Twelverism, Ḥanafism and Shāfiʿism. The question of scholars and scholarship in Baḥrayn from the twelfth to the fourteenth century is revisited. It is argued that the current consensus that attributes a number of 12th-14th century Twelver scholars who held the nisba of al-Baḥrānī to Baḥrayn lacks early evidence, appeared in a Safavid context and indeed contrasts with the evidence for the region’s peripherality and other evidence that suggests a lack of scholars in the region.

Abstract:

In pursuit of the competition for European Capital of Culture one believes, that the chosen candidate will be the best possible considering the review and selection is always subject to predetermined rules. However in the past, there were known cases, when the project - looking good on paper - failed in the difficult process. I started to wonder about two things: what if the winner city fails to sustain its victory in the end, and how do the unsuccessful candidate cities do? Is there added value in engaging in this challenging candidacy, when the outcome is uncertain? In my thesis I monitor both positive and negative impacts on unsuccessful candidates for the past years. I am presuming, that during all candidacies, new projects arise, cities and its inhabitants are mobilized and also, the surrounding communities usually perceive fundamental changes positively. The aim of this work is to demonstrate, that the ECOC project is meaningful for defeated candidates as well and also to create a set of best practices for cities, that may not succeed in the future.

Abstract:

This PhD thesis focuses on the basic eco-hydromorphic dynamics of pristine tropical stream systems on the island of Borneo. Exploring theories and models developed in temperate streams and rivers to determine if they can be applied or appropriately adjusted to describe and explain some of the tropical stream processes. Streams in Ulu Temburong National Park in Brunei Darussalam are used as a case study owing to its pristine rainforests and intact stream catchments that have hitherto been little studied. The first part of the thesis assesses the distribution of macroinvertebrates in flow biotopes and investigates if the arrangement, structure and juxtaposition of the flow biotopes influences macroinvertebrate assemblages and population. It is demonstrated that the more consistent environmental conditions of waterfalls and cascades, in comparison to the mixed-substrate biotopes (pools and riffles), have a strong influence on the macroinvertebrate communities. The influence of discontinuity on stream biota and ecosystem functions was explored at confluences zones and in pools above-and-below waterfalls. Results suggested there was a stronger link between confluence hydrology and macroinvertebrates, than with organic matter and periphyton. The waterfall study found varied effects of biotic and abiotic factors on community structure and ecosystem function. Higher fish densities were in below-waterfall pools and higher shrimp abundance in above-waterfall pools. However, macroinvertebrate densities (excluding shrimp) were similar among both pool types. Ambient periphyton was higher in below-waterfall pools but leaf litter decomposition rates did not differ, suggesting that neither shrimp nor fish densities had consistent impacts on this ecosystem function. The trophic structure of the macroinvertebrates living on waterfalls was investigated using stable isotope analysis (SIA; δ13C and δ15N of leaf litter and periphyton) and gut contents analysis (GCA), establishing potentially three trophic levels. This thesis successfully used models developed in temperate streams to develop an understanding of the basic dynamics of pristine tropical stream systems in terms of eco-hydromorphology, which will assist with sensible conservation management and for robust ecosystem monitoring.

O estudo tem por objetivo analisar o efeito do topiramato sobre o craving em usu?rios de crack. Trata-se de um ensaio cl?nico aberto tipo crossover envolvendo usu?rios do Centro de Aten??o Psicossocial ?lcool e drogas (CAPSad) do munic?pio de Parnamirim/RN, aprovado pelo CEP CAAE: 38710614.1.0000.5537, respeitada a Resolu??o N? 466/2012/CNS. O estudo resultou em dois artigos cient?ficos, um ensaio te?rico e uma revis?o integrativa. No ensaio te?rico de Hinds, Chaves e Cypress, os contextos enfocam desde a problem?tica do uso individual ?s pol?ticas de enfrentamento deste consumo no Brasil, ressaltando que a situa??o de complexidade do fen?meno requerendo estrat?gias de enfrentamento a partir da aten??o integral ao usu?rio, fam?lia e sociedade. A revis?o integrativa captura, dentre os 902 registros trilingui recuperados, oito estudos apresentaram esquemas terap?uticos com efeitos positivos para o craving da coca?na, a partir do uso de nove drogas diferentes. N?o houveram resultados para o craving do crack. Os resultados da amostra do presente estudo foi composta predominantemente por usu?rios do sexo masculino, adultos e solteiros, totalizando 30 sujeitos que atenderam aos crit?rios de inclus?o: adultos, idade a partir de 18 anos, diagn?stico do Manual Diagn?stico e Estat?stico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM-IV) para coca?na/crack; capacidade cognitiva preservada; assiduidade ao servi?o, participar de, no m?nimo, tr?s consultas nos 12 meses anteriores ? coleta dos dados; e aceitar o acompanhamento ao tratamento proposto. Os dados foram coletados no per?odo de dezembro de 2014 a julho de 2015 e analisados por meio de estat?stica descritiva com o suporte do Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), atrav?s dos instrumentos: 1) Alcoohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), aponta, entre outros resultados, que apenas 14% fizeram uso do crack/coca?na semanalmente durante o tratamento, enquanto 83% passaram a fazer uso diariamente ou semanalmente ap?s o per?odo de washout; 2) Escala de Impulsividade de Barratt, com uma m?dia de 80,23 e 77,47 com e sem o tratamento medicamentoso, respectivamente. Uma an?lise a partir do teste t de Student mostram que n?o h? diferen?a significativa na impulsividade com ou sem o uso do medicamento; e 3) Cocaine Craving Questionnaire-Brief (CCQ-Brief), indicando que o n?mero de usu?rios com n?vel de intensidade do craving ? expressivamente maior sem o tratamento medicamentoso (86%) do que com o tratamento (33%). A an?lise entre o craving e a grau de impulsividade mostram que h? uma baixa correla??o (Pearson) entre essas duas vari?veis com medicamento (0,282986) e sem (0,154614), demonstrando que a impulsividade tem baixainflu?ncia sobre o resultado do tratamento medicamentoso. Conclui-se que o topiramato produz efeito positivo para redu??o do craving em usu?rios de crack e que o seu uso constitui estrat?gia relevante para a efic?cia no tratamento de usu?rios de crack.
The study aims to analyze the effects of topiramato on the craving of crack users. It is an open crossover clinical trial involving users from the Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs (CAPSad) in city of Parnamirim, RN, approved by the CEP CAAE: 38710614.1.0000.5537, respecting the norms of the resolution n. 466/2012/CNS. The study produced preliminary two scientific papers: a theoretical essay and an integrative review, as a way of seeking the state of art. The first paper was based in the theoretical framework of Hinds, Chaves and Cypress, which focuses different contexts, from the issues of individual use to the coping policies in Brazil, highlighting that the situation and the complexity of the phenome requires coping strategies for the full attention to the user, family and society. As a result of the integrative review, among the 902 retrieved records, eight of them presented therapeutic schemes with positive effects for the craving of cocaine. They used nine different drugs. It is important to spot out that there was no result for the craving of crack. The data collection was conducted from December 2014 to July 2015 and has as sample predominantly single males. The sample was composed of 30 subjects who met the inclusion criteria: adults, age from 18 years, diagnosis of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) for cocaine/crack; cognitive capacity preserved; attendance to the service, participated at least three visits in the 12 months prior to data collection; and accepted to be monitored in the proposed treatment. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics from the Statistical Package of Support for Social Sciences (SPSS) on the instruments: 1) Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), pointing out, among other results, that only 14% used crack/cocaine weekly during treatment, while 83% used daily or weekly after the washout period; 2) Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, with an average of 80.23 and 77.47 with and without drug treatment, respectively. An analysis from the Student t test show no significant differences in impulsivity with or without the drug; and 3) Cocaine-Craving Questionnaire-Brief (CCK-B), indicating that the number of users with craving intensity level is significantly higher without drug treatment (86%) than with treatment (33%). The analysis between craving and level of impulsivity showed that there is a low correlation (Pearson) between these two variables during treatment and after the washout, demonstrating that impulsivity has low influence on the outcome of drug therapy. As conclusion, it was noted that the topiramate produces positive effect on reducing the craving for crack users and their use is a relevant strategy for efficacy in the treatment of crack users.

This study sets up a proposal developed in the field of research in Knowledge and Educational Practices, focusing mainly in the university teaching. Aiming to contribute with the debates about teaching at University, this study is an analysis of the university teaching learning process in the context of the Arts courses at UFU. The methodological option proposed was defined as qualitative, with an interpretative feature. The data construction was based on question and narrative interviews. The life history enabled the data analysi. Through the question, students of Visual Arts, Music and Theater pointed the professors that has contributed for their formation with their teaching process. After this step, we came to four teachers involved, who described their personal and professional path. Their narratives afford not just the database construction, but, especially, the creation itself, from the reflection. Question about the professors identity, formation, knowledge and teaching practice were made and questioned. Among the mainly results are the interlacing of the personal and professional in the construction/mobilization of knowledge in the academic daily; and personal identity development; the diversity of knowledge need/necessary for teaching; the link of teaching and artist practices in the academic daily; the teaching learning from the relation, in/from researches, in/from experiences; the university as a formation place; and the building of art knowledge; which the formation process occurred, in the course of life, in the extend which we give meaning to what happens to us. Thus, we came up with the expression of Teacherartist as evidencing an identity that is built at the confluence between art and education, although not without dilemmas. Thereby, we pointed the inextricable relationship among formation, identity, knowledge and practices through the narratives.
Este trabalho configura-se como uma proposta desenvolvida no campo de pesquisa de Saberes e Práticas Educativas, estando o seu foco principal na docência universitária. Buscando contribuir com os debates a respeito da docência na educação superior, a pesquisa faz uma análise do processo de aprendizado da docência universitária no contexto dos cursos de Artes da UFU. A opção metodológica proposta é definida como qualitativa, dado o caráter interpretativo. A construção dos dados tornou-se possível por meio de questionários e entrevista narrativa e da história de vida como técnica de análise dos dados. Através de questionário, discentes dos cursos de Artes Visuais, Música e Teatro apontaram os professores que no exercício da docência contribuíram para sua formação. Após essa etapa, chegamos aos quatro docentes envolvidos, que narraram suas trajetórias pessoais e profissionais. As narrativas proporcionaram não apenas a construção dos dados, mas, especialmente, a criação de si, a partir da reflexão. Questões quanto à identidade, a formação, os saberes e as práticas do docente superior foram revelados e problematizados. Entre os resultados mais significativos estão o entrelaçamento entre as dimensões pessoal e profissional na construção/mobilização de saberes no cotidiano acadêmico; o desenvolvimento da identidade profissional; a diversidade de saberes envolvidos/necessários no exercício profissional docente; o vínculo das práticas docentes e artísticas no contexto universitário; o aprendizado da docência nas relações, na/pela pesquisa e na/pela experiência; a universidade como lugar da formação; a construção do conhecimento em arte; os processos formativos que ocorrem, entre outros, no transcorrer da vida, na medida em que damos sentido ao que nos acontece; Desse modo, apontamos a expressão docenteartista como a que evidencia uma identidade que se constrói na confluência entre arte e educação, todavia com dilemas. Assim, assinalamos a relação inextricável entre formação, identidade, saberes e práticas através das narrativas.

Abstract:

This study investigated the level of financial satisfaction of the family money manager in relation to socioeconomic characteristics, attitudes towards credit, and credit practices. The population was members of the USU Community Credit Union. Data were collected with a mail survey questionnaire from a random sample of 500 subjects. After multiple follow-up attempts, the response rate was 55.2 percent. The dependent variable was financial satisfaction; the independent variables were categorized into three groups: socioeconomic characteristics, credit attitudes, and credit practices. The conceptual model of this study hypothesized that there is a relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Age, education, home value, household income, and savings were positively related to financial satisfaction. Those who felt comfortable with larger amounts of credit payment were associated with higher income levels and higher satisfaction levels. People with favorable attitudes toward borrowing money to pay for houses were more likely to be satisfied with their financial conditions. Convenience credit card users were more satisfied than installment users. Higher debt repayment-to-income ratios were associated with lower levels of financial satisfaction. Respondents' feeling about their credit obligations was the most powerful predictor of financial satisfaction; people who were concerned about their credit obligations were likely to be less satisfied with their financial situations that those who were not. Concern over credit obligations was not highly related to socioeconomic characteristics or debt repayment-to- income ratio. Accordingly, the subjective assessment of credit obligations was more important in explaining financial satisfaction than the objective measurement of family debt burden such as debt repayment-to-income ratio. Fifty-two percent of the variation in financial satisfaction was accounted for by socioeconomic characteristics, credit attitudes, and credit practices. Credit practices were more powerful predictors of financial satisfaction than socioeconomic characteristics. This result illustrates the importance of credit management as a contributing factor in financial satisfaction.

Full text

Abstract:

A correlation between the USU stretch test and the pizza fork test would allow the stretch properties of Mozzarella cheese to be measured objectively. The Utah State University (USU) Stretch Test uses a modified texture-profile analyzer to pull strands of cheese from a melted reservoir, measuring the load exerted on the probe during stretching. Parameters measured by the USU stretch test include Melt Strength (FM), which is the maximum load exerted on the probe, Stretch Load (SL), which is the load exerted on the probe at any specified point following FM, and Stretch Extension (SE), which was defined as the extension of the probe at a selected load. To begin with, it was determined that the greatest repeatability and cheese performance was obtained by tempering 50 g of shredded cheese for 45 min at 65°C and using a three-pronged hook with a diameter of 25 mm as the probe. These conditions were then applied in a correlation study in which a low correlation was seen between the USU stretch test and the pizza fork test, with the greatest correlation being seen with FM (R2 = 0.22). A more extensive look at the effect of the tempering temperature used in the USU stretch test on the degree of correlation between the two tests was conducted by tempering cheeses at 65, 70, 75, 80, and 85 °C. In this experiment, the highest correlation between the two tests was seen at both 80 and 85°C. Values of R2 at 80°C for SL10-15 and SEF (Stretch Extension at FM) were 0.75 and 0.70, respectively. At 85°C, the highest degree of correlation was seen at SL10-15 (R2 = 0.72) and SE0.1 (R2 = 0.69). A multiple linear correlation study was also conducted. A high degree of correlation between the USU stretch test and the pizza fork test was seen at 80°C when two parameters were used (SEF and SL22, R2 = 0.85, Adj. R2 = 0.80) and when four parameters were used (FM, slope from 10 to 20 em, SE0.1, and SL22, R2 = 0.97, Adj. R2 = 0.93). A set of cheese was then analyzed by the USU stretch test and the pizza fork test at three different intervals of aging (21 , 40, and 60 days after manufacture). This data was combined with previously collected data to show that the USU stretch test can be used to characterize the functional properties of a cheese using the parameters of FM, SEF, as well as SE0.1. It was concluded that the USU stretch test can provide a better characterization of a pizza cheese than can the pizza fork test. Whereas the pizza fork test is only able to record the distance that the cheese can stretch, the USU stretch test is capable of measuring a variety of parameters, which provides not only an indication of how far the cheese will stretch, but also other important functional properties related to the cheese, such as viscosity, elasticity, and the thickness of the strands being stretched.

Por meio dos testes estatísticos de Cluster e Componente Principal tal variabilidade é avaliada no intuito de compreender a organização do uso do espaço intra-sítio, bem como o grau de interação presente entre os assentamentos estudados
Through the analysis of the variability of the ceramic industry in the intrasite and intersite spaces in two open air pre-colonial settlements related the ceramist groups associated to the traditions Aratu and Uru and located in the middle course of the Tocantins River, this study objectified to supply parameters the debate concerning processes of cultural interaction between these ceramist groups, that according to some authors would have motivated and configured the pre-colonial occupation human of Central Brazil since at least century X. By means of the statistical tests of Cluster and Principal Component such variability is evaluated in intention to understand the organization of the use of the intrasite space, as well as the degree of present interaction between the studied settlements

Abstract:

Study area, the UruS province, is located 70 km WNW of city of Ankara. Major settlements in the study area are two counties, UruS and Gü

l
and there are a number of villages, such as, from W to E, Macun, Yogunpelit, Kabaca, Ü

zü
, Kayi and Karacaö
ren. The study area is 189 km2 in size and included in 1/25000-scaled topographic quadrangles of H28a3, a4, d1 and d2. The Gü
dü
l- UruS section of the Ç
eltikç
i morphotectonic depression (Ç
eltikç
i Basin) drained by the Antecedent Kirmir River and its second-order drainage system was first mapped in detail in the present study, and faults determining northern margin of the Ç
eltikç
i depression were named as the UruS fault set comprising the SW part of the Ç
eltikç
i Fault Zone
and the mechanism of the master fault of the UruS fault set was determined as left lateral oblique-slip fault with reverse component by the morphologic markers such as the deformed drainage system and pressure ridges. This was also supported by the fault plane solutions of the 2000.08.22 UruS earthquake. Three fault plane solutions, of which two of them for the 2000.08.22 UruS earthquake, and one of them for the 2003.02.27 Ç
amlidere earthquake, were done to determine nature of the source. Ground material underlying the city of Ankara were divided into three categories: (a) well-lithified basement rocks, (b) Pliocene fluvio-lacustrine v sedimentary sequence, and (c) unconsolidated terrace and alluvial sediments of Quaternary age. Quaternary unconsolidated sediments are densely populated in Ankara. These sediments are fine-grained and have a maximum thickness of 200 m or more. Inside these sediments, static ground water level is very close (as on average: 6 m) to ground surface. These conditions are quite suitable for liquefaction of these unconsolidated alluvial sediments. In addition, basement rocks are full of zone of weakness. Even if, the city of Ankara is characterized by the shallow focus and small earthquakes (M&
#8804
5), it is open to the risk of large earthquakes to be sourced from the North Anatolian Fault System and the Seyfe Fault Zone located 110 km and 80 km, respectively, owing the ground material conditions beneath the city of Ankara. This point has to be taken out in constructions and site selection solution.

Com a inten??o de investigar o uso do livro did?tico em formato digital no aprendizado do aluno de Ensino M?dio, tendo como referencial a experi?ncia do usu?rio (UX), este trabalho buscou captar a experi?ncia que o aluno tem ao utilizar este tipo de material did?tico, atrav?s do tablet.De maneira a tra?ar um panorama dos pontos positivos e negativos percebidos por eles, trilhou-se um caminho baseado no Design Centrado no Usu?rio, para ent?o sugerir considera??es que permitam o aprimoramento desse tipo de produto auxiliar ? educa??o contempor?nea. Por meio de uma avalia??o cooperativa, na qual o aluno interfere no andamento do teste de usabilidade do produto, ? poss?vel perceber imediatamente o que causa repulsa ou o atrai, o que causa engajamento ou desmotiva??o quando manuseando o livro digital. O aluno foi ouvido a todo tempo, enquanto manuseava o tablet, externando suas opini?es. Ao final do teste, aplicamos um question?rio para medir a satisfa??o do aluno na intera??o com o livro, o Questionaire for User Interaction Satisfaction - QUIS (SHNEIDERMAN, 1986), que nos permitiu obter detalhes subjetivos desta intera??o. O livro did?tico digital de hist?ria do Ensino M?dio, Hist?ria, Sociedade & Cidadania - Volume 1, de Alfredo Boulos J?nior, editora FTD, foi escolhido para esta pesquisa por apresentar caracter?sticas adequadas ao p?blico-alvo, como uma boa apresenta??o visual, recursos multim?dia, elementos de intera??o e por atenderem aos requisitos de sele??o utilizados pelo Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educa??o - FNDE para o edital 01/20131 do Programa Nacional do Livro Did?tico no ano de 2015 e nas Pol?ticas para a aprendizagem m?vel da UNESCO. Este edital foi o primeiro do governo federal a incluir o livro did?tico em formato digital no seu programa educacional, que distribui os livros que as escolasp?blicas utilizar?o em todo o pa?s. Os apontamentos desta pesquisa permitiram sintetizar uma tabela de recomenda??es e revelam ?reas do design e da usabilidade do livro did?tico em vers?o digital, acessado em tablets, que podem ser considerados para uma melhoria no design deste tipo de ferramenta de apoio ao ensino e aprendizagem.
With the goal of investigating the use of digital textbooks on the learning process of high school students, having as reference the user experience (UX), this study aimed to capture the experience that the student has by using this type of learning material, through the tablet. In order to draw a picture of the positive and negative aspects perceived by them, a path was traced based on User Centered Design, so that suggestions can be made that allow the enhancement of this type of product aid to contemporary education. By means of a cooperative evaluation, in which the student interferes on the progress of the product?s usability test, it is possible to perceive immediately what repels or attracts him, what causes engagement or lack of motivation when maneuvering the digital textbook. The student was heard the entire time while handling the tablet, expressing his opinions. By the end of the test, a survey was applied to measure the level of satisfaction that the student felt through the interaction with the book, the Questionaire for User Interaction Satisfaction ? QUIS (SHNEIDERMAN, 1986), which allowed us to obtain subjective details of this interaction. The high school history digital textbook ? History, Society and Citizenship ? Volume 1-, by Alfredo Boulos Junior, FTD publishing, was chosen for this research for presenting characteristics that were adequate to the target audience, with great visual presentation, multimedia resources, elements of interaction and for meeting with the selection requirements used by the National Fund of Educational Development ? FNDE, for the public notice 01/2013 of the National Textbook Program of 2015 and for the policies for mobile learning from UNESCO. This notice was the first by the federal government to include textbooks in digital format in its educational program, which distributes the books that public schools will use around the country. The notes of this research allowed us to synthesise a table of recommendations and reveal areas of design and usability of the digital textbook, accessed through tablets, that may be considered for an improvement of this type of support tool for teaching and learning.

Abstract:

A Rayleigh-scatter lidar has been in operation at Utah State University (41. 7° N, 111.8 ° W) starting in September 1993 until the present (October 2003). The return profiles from the atmosphere have been analyzed to provide temperature measurements of the middle atmosphere from 45 to 90 km. Various methods of averaging were used to construct a temperature climatology of the region based on these observations. The data analysis algorithm has been critically analyzed to find possible sources of error, and has been compared to an independently derived technique. The resulting temperatures have been compared to other mid-latitude lidars with good agreement. Comparisons were made with temperatures from other ground-based instruments at Bear Lake Observatory. Additional comparisons were carried out with two satellite-based instruments, WINDII and SABER The comparison of individual nights with the SABER instrument produced surprisingly good agreement considering the difference in the two methods. With the basic analysis of the temperature climatology completed in this work, an outline is given for future research and upgrades to the facility.

This thesis describes the development and evaluation of the effects of a coping and social skills training ? CSST program for people who use crack, using as an intervention approach the Relapse Prevention Model. Initially the theoretical and practical contexts of the research are presented, addressing the issues that this thesis set out to answer. To clarify these questions the thesis was structured in three sections. In the first section, the mixed design study aimed to investigate the coping skills and strategies of individuals who use crack. Participants had a lower middle repertoire in the ?Invent?rio de Habilidades de Enfrentamento Antecipat?rio para a Abstin?ncia de ?lcool e outras Drogas ? IDHEA-AD? and from transcripts of the interviews were created four categories: "Coping skills and plans for risk situations", "Expression of feelings," "Emotional self-control" and "Avoidance strategies". The description of social skills repertoire, anticipatory coping skills and self-efficacy of crack users before, immediately after completion of the training program and after three months is presented in section II. The findings of this quasi-experimental study demonstrated that participants had higher self-efficacy CSST scores for maintaining abstinence afterwards intervention. As for the overall IDEA-AD scores and the factors 1 - "Assertiveness and planning for high-risk situations and substance consumption" and 2 - "Emotional expression of positive feelings for abstinence maintenance" presented themselves lower middle before CSST as repertoire below average at the end of the intervention, and in-depth repertoire above average after three months. For the factor 3 scores - "Emotional self-control in adverse situations" participants had a good repertoire of coping skills in the initial assessment, increasing to in-depth repertoire in the post-CSST and thus remaining at follow-up. In analysis of overall scores and IHS-Del-Prette factors participants retained the measures unchanged during the pursuance, presenting a good repertoire of social skills. In section III predictive factors in crack withdrawal were studied. In this prospective investigation the following variables were considered as predictive of abstinence: be working in the initial assessment, improved performance in block design and digit span WAIS-III subtests, higher grades in IDHEA-AD final score, and especially in Factor 1, which refers to the assertive coping skills and plans for drug use risk situations. Variables gender, age, be studying, education, family income, as well as symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, self-efficacy for abstinence from illicit drugs and participation in CSST program did not predict crack withdrawal.
A presente tese aborda o desenvolvimento e a avalia??o dos efeitos de um programa de treinamento de habilidades sociais e de enfrentamento - THSE para pessoas que usam crack, utilizando como abordagem de interven??o o Modelo de Preven??o de Reca?da. Inicialmente s?o apresentados os contextos te?rico e pr?tico da pesquisa, abordando as quest?es que esta tese se prop?s a responder. Para elucidar estes questionamentos a tese foi estruturada em tr?s se??es. Na primeira se??o, o estudo de delineamento misto teve como objetivo investigar as estrat?gias e habilidades de enfrentamento de indiv?duos que usam crack. Os participantes apresentaram um repert?rio m?dio inferior no Invent?rio de Habilidades de Enfrentamento Antecipat?rio para a Abstin?ncia de ?lcool e outras Drogas - IDHEA-AD, e foram criadas quatro categorias a partir das transcri??es das entrevistas coletivas: ?Habilidades de enfrentamento assertivas e planos para situa??es de risco?, ?Express?o de sentimentos?, ?Autocontrole emocional? e ?Estrat?gias de evita??o?. A descri??o do repert?rio de habilidades sociais, habilidades de enfrentamento antecipat?rio, bem como a autoefic?cia de pessoas usu?rias de crack antes, imediatamente depois o t?rmino do programa de treinamento e ap?s tr?s meses ? apresentada na se??o II. Os achados deste estudo quase experimental demonstraram que os participantes do THSE apresentaram maiores escores de autoefic?cia para manuten??o da abstin?ncia ap?s a interven??o. J? os escores total IDHEA-AD e dos fatores 1 - ?Assertividade e planejamento para situa??es de alto risco e consumo de subst?ncias? e 2 - ?Express?o emocional de sentimentos positivos para manuten??o da abstin?ncia? apresentaram-se m?dio inferiores antes do THSE, como repert?rio abaixo da m?dia logo ao t?rmino da interven??o, e como repert?rio elaborado acima da m?dia ap?s tr?s meses. Para os escores do fator 3 - ?Autocontrole emocional em situa??es adversas? os participantes apresentaram um bom repert?rio de habilidades de enfrentamento na avalia??o inicial, passando para um repert?rio elaborado no p?s-THSE e mantendo-se assim no follow-up. Na an?lise dos escores total e dos fatores do IHS-Del- Prette os participantes conservaram as medidas inalteradas ao longo do seguimento, apresentando um bom repert?rio de habilidades sociais. Na se??o III foram estudados os fatores preditivos na abstin?ncia de crack. Nesta investiga??o prospectiva foram preditivas de abstin?ncia as seguintes vari?veis: estar trabalhando na avalia??o inicial, melhor desempenho nos subtestes WAIS-III de cubos e d?gitos, maiores pontua??es no escore total do IDHEA-AD, e especialmente no Fator 1 que refere-se as habilidades de enfrentamento assertivas e a planos para situa??es de risco de uso de drogas. As vari?veis sexo, idade, estar estudando, escolaridade, renda familiar, bem como sintomas de depress?o, ansiedade e estresse, autoefic?cia para abstin?ncia de drogas il?citas e a participa??o no programa de THSE n?o predisseram abstin?ncia de crack.

This ethnographic work studies the experiences of patients admitted in public (PUH) and private (PRH) hospitals in the Brazilian northeastern region. 28 adult patients of different clinics participated in the study. Data were analyzed by the patient path method, consisting in a combination of complemented and articulated techniques free observation, participating observation, ethnographic interview and patient testimonials collected prospectively during the patients admissions, from their arrival and until their discharge. The analysis was carried out according to the Thematic Categories Analysis Technique and the data were interpreted pursuant to medical anthropology, healthcare humanization and healthcare promotion theoretical references. The ethical principles of Resolution 196/96 were followed. The human hospital, as revealed by the patient, highlights the significance of subjectivity. 225 (54.7%) out of 411 mentioned concepts were collected in a public hospital (PUH) and 186 (45.3%) in a private institution (PRH). The results show that the patient at the PUH and PRH ethnoevaluates different aspects of the healthcare professionals? human and technical competence, the hospital?s functioning structure, the access to and the ethics in the financial management, and develops overcoming strategies for his stay at the hospital. This ethnoevaluation is mediated by different factors, namely: social and economic status, personality, religiosity, ironic speech, somber diagnosis and satisfied needs, prior hospital experiences and the conditions under which the interview was carried out. A pedagogic proposal for the hospital humanization must include structural, managerial and organizational changes of the offered services and use active methodologies aimed to the political resolution of problematic situations at work and the inclusion of affective and subjective factors, and become as well a tool for the collective learning. This study shows the importance for the user?s ethnoevaluation to be incorporated into the hospital management and care as a guideline in the decision making and clinical action, thus promoting practices that shall lead to a decent and humanized care. The multidisciplinary nature of this study allowed a wide understanding of the user?s perspective as a socially critical ethnoevaluator
Este estudo etnogr?fico investiga a experi?ncia vivida do paciente internado em hospital p?blico (HPU) e privado (HPR) no Nordeste brasileiro.

A an?lise ocorreu conforme a T?cnica de An?lise Categorial Tem?tica e os dados foram interpretados ? luz dos referenciais te?ricos da Antropologia M?dica, humaniza??o do cuidado e promo??o da sa?de. Foram observados os princ?pios ?ticos da Resolu??o 196/96. O hospital humano, revelado pelo paciente, destaca a import?ncia da subjetividade. Das 411 unidades de significados desveladas, 225 (54,7%) foram no hospital p?blico (HPU) e 186 (45,3%) no hospital privado (HPR). Os resultados indicam que o paciente etnoavalia no HPU e no HPR aspectos da compet?ncia humana e t?cnica do profissional da sa?de, a estrutura e funcionamento hospitalar, o acesso e a ?tica na condu??o das finan?as; e desenvolve estrat?gias de supera??o da hospitaliza??o. Esta etnoavalia??o ? mediada por diversos fatores: condi??o socioecon?mica, personalidade, religiosidade, discurso ir?nico, diagn?stico sombrio e necessidades atendidas, experi?ncia anterior de hospitaliza??o e condi??es da entrevista. Uma proposta pedag?gica para humaniza??o hospitalar dever? vincular-se ?s mudan?as estruturais, gerenciais e organizacionais dos servi?os; utilizar-se de metodologias ativas que visem ? politiza??o, ? problematiza??o das situa??es concretas de trabalho e ? inclus?o dos afetos e intersubjetividades; al?m de constituir-se em aprendizagem coletiva.

Abstract:

Dans cette these, on montre comment des mesures de champs critiques permettent d'aborder des aspects fondamentaux de la supraconductivite des fermions lourds. Apres une introduction generale sur h#c#2, le deuxieme champ critique, on decrit les differentes procedures experimentales et les differents dispositifs experimentaux developpes pendant cette these. On expose ensuite comment l'aspect non-conventionnel des supraconducteurs a fermions lourds a ete etudie sur uru#2si#2 de deux manieres differentes. D'une part, une etude fine pres de t#c de l'anisotropie du h#c#2 de ce compose permet en principe d'identifier un parametre d'ordre supraconducteur bidimensionnel. D'autre part, la suppression de la supraconductivite de surface pour certaines configurations geometriques de l'echantillon par rapport au champ magnetique applique doit aussi permettre d'identifier un parametre d'ordre non-conventionnel. Le resultat de ces mesures est qu'on ne detecte pas d'evidence experimentale indiquant que uru#2si#2 est un supraconducteur non-conventionnel aussi bien par les mesures d'une eventuelle anisotropie de h#c#2 (avec une resolution de 1%) que par les mesures de supraconductivite de surface. Enfin, on s'est interesse a la limitation de pauli du champ critique de ube#1#3. Nos mesures resistives sous pression confirment l'interpretation de ce champ critique par un modele de couplage fort extreme (constante de couplage de l'ordre de 15) avec, a basse temperature, une limitation paramagnetique de son champ critique et apparition d'une phase modulee spatialement (phase fflo) predite dans les annees soixante et jamais observee jusqu'a aujourd'hui. Par ailleurs, le lien qui a pu etre etabli entre la forte renormalisation de la masse effective des quasi-particules et le mecanisme responsable de la supraconductivite donne la premiere indication un tant soit peu quantitative que ce mecanisme ne peut etre domine par l'interaction electron-phonon.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the study of the interaction of the U24 membrane protein, encoded by Human Herpesvirus type-6A (HHV-6A), with WW domains from Smad ubiquitylation regulatory factor 2 (Smurf2) via its PPxY motif. U24 from HHV-6A is of interest because it acts to block endosomal recycling, as mediated by its PPxY motif interacting with WW domain-containing proteins. We have used a multidisciplinary approach to study the interactions between the Smurf2 WW domains and the PPxY motif-containing region of U24. The GST pull-down experiment demonstrated a difference in affinity between WW domains for the full-length U24 protein, prompting binding studies on interactions between the PPxY motif-containing region of U24 and isolated WW3 domain or WW2 and WW3 domains in tandem (WW23). In Chapter 2, studies were focused on interactions between the third WW domain (WW3) of Smurf2, and the 15-mer U24 peptide containing the PPxY motif. NMR studies demonstrated that the PPxY motif of U24 peptide bound to Smurf2 WW3 domain in a similar way as the interaction between Smurf2 WW3 domain and its cognate ligand Smad7. The dissociation constant was determined to be 123 ± 4 μM at 5°C, reflecting weak binding affinity between WW3 domain and U24 peptide, possibly due to the lack of additional interactions between WW3 domain and the region of U24 peptide beyond the PPxY motif. Circular Dichroism (CD) experiments suggested that isolated WW3 domain was not as stable as other WW domains and binding to U24 peptide enhanced its stability slightly. In Chapter 3, interactions between tandem Smurf2 WW23 and U24 peptide were studied. NMR studies demonstrated that the interaction between Smurf2 WW23 and U24 peptide mainly relied on the U24 peptide binding to its WW3 domain and that the WW2 domain played only a minor role in the interaction. CD experiments were also carried out to detect the stability of Smurf2 WW23 with and without U24 peptide.

Abstract:

The theme of this undergraduate thesis is the university press at Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU), and this thesis main goal is to portray, from its creation, the history behind Edufu, describing its trajectory to later on demonstrate how the press works when it comes to personnel, products, installations, regulations and others. Among the specific goals are the following: to demonstrate how the publishing of academic books works at UFU; to present documents that regulate its inner operations and the changes that they went through; and also to describe quantitatively the improvement of the published works throughout the years. To achieve that, a documentary research was conducted with records from the Editorial Board, resolutions from the upper boards, ordinances, internal documents from the press, among others. By doing so, the history behind a fundamental sector at UFU for recording and publishing the knowledge produced, mainly in its postgraduate programs, was reconstructed, which led to the conclusion that many of the problems that were existent at first remain unsolved, such as physical space, adequate labor, issuance of invoice etc. However, there was also improvement, and even with difficulties, the press continues to issue books. At the end, there are suggestions for further research on UFU Press, but with different approaches.
Este trabalho tem como tema a editoração universitária no âmbito da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, com o objetivo principal de descrever a história da Edufu, a partir do contexto da sua criação, descrevendo sua trajetória, para depois demonstrar como ela é, em sua estrutura de pessoal, produtos, instalações, regulamentação, entre outras. Os objetivos específicos serão demonstrar como se dá a publicação de livros acadêmicos no contexto da UFU, expor documentos que regulamentam seu funcionamento e mudanças que eles sofreram e ainda descrever quantitativamente a evolução das publicações ao longo dos anos. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa documental por meio de atas do Conselho Editorial, resoluções dos conselhos superiores, portarias, documentos internos da editora, entre outros. Reconstituiu-se a história de um setor da UFU fundamental para o registro e divulgação do conhecimento produzido principalmente em seus programas de pós-graduação, chegando-se à conclusão de que muitos problemas existentes desde o início dessa atividade ainda se encontram pendentes de solução, como espaço físico, mão de obra adequada, emissão de nota fiscal etc., mas também de que houve evolução e mesmo com dificuldades a editora prossegue produzindo seus livros. Ao final, fica a sugestão para novas pesquisas sobre a Editora da UFU, em diferentes abordagens.

This project is organized in the perspective of the development of the exhibition on the child's cultural universe Uru Eu Wau Wau in the Cultural Center Jesco Puttkamer. It looks for, also, to establish a connection between the indigenous world and the national society starting from the concern with the respect and the coexistence among different cultures. For that, we built a group of expressed images in book, CD and games to be distributed to the town schools of Goiânia and visitors of the exhibition. Stimulating, like this, the education process starting from the patrimonial education and of the insert of the students to the museum.
Este projeto está organizado na perspectiva do desenvolvimento da exposição sobre o universo cultural da criança Uru Eu Wau Wau no Centro Cultural Jesco Puttkamer. Busca, também, estabelecer uma conexão entre o mundo indígena e a sociedade nacional a partir da preocupação com o respeito e a conivência entre culturas diferentes. Para isso, construímos um conjunto de imagens expressas em livro, CD, jogos e brincadeiras a serem distribuídos às escolas municipais de Goiânia e visitantes da exposição. Estimulando, assim, o processo educacional a partir da educação patrimonial e da inserção dos estudantes ao museu.

Abstract:

Este estudo volta-se para a educação indígena, mais especificamente ao do grupo Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau do Alto Jamari em sua educação tradicional e a sua expectativa quanto à educação escolar. Esse grupo habita a região central de Rondônia próxima às nascentes dos rios da serra dos Pakaas Novos. Como o objetivo dessa dissertação é o estudo do grupo e da educação escolar que será oferecida a essa comunidade, portanto, para isso, estão presentes todos os aspectos que servirão de contextualização para o grupo e para a educação escolar indígena. Assim o grupo está descrito na sua perspectiva histórica, dentro das grandes migrações indígenas na região amazônica, nos choques interétnicos com as migrações dos não-índios, que estão também descritas, o seu primeiro contato, em 1981, até se conseguir a demarcação de suas terras em 1985. A partir daí serão apresentados os estudos etnográficos que foram feitos sobre a cultura Kawahiba, a qual pertence os Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, acrescidos aos relatos feitos pelos integrantes da própria comunidade, que poderão dar uma extensão maior a tais estudos. Para tanto, conseguiu-se nesse estudo o relato dos mitos, a descrição da sua organização social e outros aspectos da sua cultura, através dos membros mais velhos da aldeia do Alto Jamari tendo como intérpretes os próprios jovens da aldeia. Sobre a educação escolar há uma exposição relativa aos aspectos mais importantes do Referencial Curricular Nacional para as Escolas Indígenas - o RCNE/Indígena elaborado pelo MEC - e, ainda, a atual situação da educação escolar indígena em Rondônia, com relevância para as primeiras escolas dos grupos Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, parentes do povo do Alto Jamari.
This research concentrates on the indigenous education of the group Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau of the Alto Jamari. It considers the indigenous traditional education and the expectation towards school education. The Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau inhabits the central regionof Rondônia near the Springs of Pakaas Novos. In order to carry out the study of the group of school education I present all aspects. Which will help to contextualize the indigenous school education. Thus the group is described in its historical perspective within the big indigenous migration in the Amazon region in the inter-ethnical chocks with the migration of non-indigenous, which are described here too; the group first contact, in 1981, until they got the demarcation of land in 1985. Then I present the ethnographic study on the Kawahiba culture which belongs to the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau together with the reports made by members of the community, who will give a larger dimension to the study I present, therefore, the myths, the description of its social organization and other aspects of the Indians culture as related by the older people of the group who used the young ones as interpreters. The work also presents the most important aspects of the National Curriculumfor Indigenous Schools elaborated by the Ministry of Education and the current situation of the indigenous school education in Rondônia, mainly what is concerned to the groups Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau relative to the people of Alto Jamari.

The study evidences the social representations of street crack users, in order to identify the meanings that this portion of the population individually dispenses with drug use. This study was carried out in two spaces of agglomeration of users of psychoactive substances in the center of Bras??lia and Gama, administrative region of the Federal District, with five people interviewed, four men and one woman. The analysis of the data pointed to representations that arose in a paradoxical way, in a contradictory non-excluding perspective. Thus, the categories discussed: The paradoxical representation of crack use, The complex representation of identity and The paradoxical permanence of crack use, revealed that drug users organize their representations anchored in the social imaginary that the use of crack refers to the disease and Delinquency, but they objectify their experiences in a singular way, confirming a transgressive function to the hygienist and criminalizing place that the society destines them. Insofar as they do not disregard the obvious harms of drug use, they identify functions of use such as life, well, relief and independence, which provide a greater understanding of the identity construction of crack users in street situations. The results show that in the context of the exclusion that the subjeComunidades Terap??uticas are subjected, with policies, that do not embrace the paradoxical and complex dimension that packs the dynamics of drug use, like the one adopted by the current S??o Paulo government, the search for "the next stone of Crack "becomes a dynamic imprisonment of permanence of use, that does not allow reaching of the desired identity place, that of subjeComunidades Terap??uticas of rights.
O presente estudo qualitativo evid??ncia as representa????es sociais dos usu??rios de crack em situa????o de rua, de modo a identificar os significados que as pessoas nesse contexto dispensam, individualmente, ao consumo da droga, com base na teoria das representa????es sociais proposta por Serge Moscovici (1925-2014). As informa????es foram coletadas em dois espa??os de aglomera????o de usu??rios de drogas no centro de Bras??lia e no Gama, regi??o administrativa do DF, tendo cinco pessoas entrevistadas, quatro homens e uma mulher. A an??lise de conte??do apontou para representa????es sociais paradoxais, em uma perspectiva contradit??ria n??o excludente. Assim, as categorias discutidas: Representa????es sociais da fam??lia e do contexto da pessoa em situa????o de rua, A representa????o do uso de crack, A paradoxal representa????o do processo de constru????o de identidades e A complexa perman??ncia do uso de crack, revelaram que os usu??rios da droga organizam suas representa????es ancorados no imagin??rio social de que o uso de crack remete a delinqu??ncia, mendic??ncia e doen??a, mas objetivam expectativas de trabalho e estudo, de uma forma singular. Na medida em que n??o desconsideraram os evidentes malef??cios do consumo da droga em meio ao contexto de exclus??o/inclus??o, representaram o uso relacionando-o a vida, bem, al??vio e independ??ncia. Considera-se que os significados e processos identit??rios representados pelos sujeitos balizam maior compreens??o acerca do usu??rio de crack em situa????o de rua, que em meio a pol??ticas p??blicas deficit??rias incapazes de abarcar as dimens??es complexas que embalam a din??mica do uso de crack e ???assumem??? fun????o transgressora ao lugar de abandono que a sociedade os destinam e a busca pela ???pr??xima pedra de crack??? se torna uma pr??tica aprisionadora.

BACKGROUND: Personality traits contribute to drug related behavior, but their role on cocaine experimentation, abuse and addiction is not yet clear. Our aim was to evaluate how emotional traits and affective temperament were associated with cocaine experimentation, abuse and dependence with a recently developed scale for the assessment of emotional (e.g. Anger, Volition) and affective temperaments (e.g. cyclothymic). An anonymous web-survey provides the optimal means to evaluate sensitive issues such as drug related behavior in the general population. METHODS: the data was collected in the Brazilian Internet Study on Temperament and Psychopathology (BRAINSTEP), which included the Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament Scale (AFECTS) and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). The final sample consisted of 28,587 subjects (26.6% males, mean age=30.8 ? 9.8 yrs). Traits analysis controlled for age, gender, ethanol and marijuana use. RESULTS: For emotional traits, Inhibition (particularly caution), Coping and Control were significantly lower in the cocaine groups compared to controls, particularly in those with cocaine dependence. Anger and Desire increased in relation to the degree of cocaine involvement. The associations with Emotional Sensitivity and Volition were less robust. For affective temperaments, increased cocaine use was related to a lower proportion of stable types (obsessive, euthymic and hyperthymic) and the anxious type, and a higher proportion of cyclothymic and euphoric temperaments in both sexes. CONCLUSION: specific externalized and unstable traits were associated with cocaine related behavior. Addressing these traits may be important for recovery and prevention strategies.
JUSTIFICATIVA: Os tra?os de personalidade contribuem para o comportamento do consumo de drogas, mas seu papel na experimenta??o, abuso e depend?ncia ? coca?na ainda n?o ? claro. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar como os tra?os emocionais e o temperamento afetivo estavam associados ? experimenta??o, ao abuso, e a depend?ncia ? coca?na com uma escala desenvolvida recentemente para a avalia??o dos tra?os emocionais (por ex: Raiva, Vontade) e dos temperamentos afetivos (por ex: ciclot?mico). Um levantamento an?nimo via web fornece o meio ideal para avaliar quest?es delicadas, tais como, o comportamento em rela??o ao consumo de drogas il?citas na popula??o em geral. M?TODOS: Os dados foram coletados atrav?s de um amplo levantamento via web chamado BRAINSTEP (Brazilian Internet Study on Temperament and Psychopathology), que inclui a Escala Composta de Temperamento Emocional e Afetivo (AFECTS) e o teste que afere o envolvimento com ?lcool, tabaco e outras subst?ncias (ASSIST). A amostra final foi de 28.587 indiv?duos (26,6% homens, com idade m?dia de 30,8 ? 9,8 anos). An?lise das vari?veis foi controlada para idade, sexo, uso de etanol e maconha. RESULTADOS: Para os tra?os emocionais, a Inibi??o (particularmente a cautela), o Coping, e o Controle foram significativamente menores nos grupos que usaram coca?na em compara??o com os controles, principalmente no grupo com depend?ncia ? coca?na. A Raiva e o Desejo estavam aumentados de acordo com o grau de envolvimento com a droga. As associa??es com a Sensibilidade e a Vontade foram menos robustas. Para o temperamento afetivo, o uso de coca?na foi relacionado a uma menor propor??o de tipos est?veis (obsessivos, eut?micos e hipert?micos) e do tipo ansioso, e uma maior propor??o dos temperamentos ciclot?micos e euf?ricos em ambos os sexos. CONCLUS?O: Tra?os espec?ficos externalizados e inst?veis foram associados com o comportamento relacionado ao uso de coca?na. O conhecimento destas caracter?sticas pode ser importante para o desenvolvimento de estrat?gias de preven??o e controle do uso desta droga.

For a complete comprehension of the effect of tooth loss is necessary to listen to the patients that have it. This study, of qualitative approach, investigate, in the dental history of users of SUS, listening to his/her experiences with the services of dental care, the reason that lead his/her to dental lost and the repercussion of this in his/her life. The collect of data was made by narrative interview, obeying to a pre-defined schema. The subjects interviewed were six (three of urban zone and three of rural zone), all of them were users of Family Health Units. The criterions of inclusion were the followings: the presence of tooth lost (total lost in both dental arch or in one of them, or partial lost in at least six elements in one of the arches); age between 25 and 59; male or female; to live in municipal district of S?o Tom?/RN or Natal/RN. Based on previous interviews was elaborated the odontological history of each patient. Such narratives, systemized in odontological history, were analyzed taking as base the studies of Souza71 and the proposal of Schutze, suggested for Jovchelovitch, Bauer34. The results show that toothache was the main reason for the search of odontological care. The patients confront the ache with home-made medicaments, allopathic ones, and searching for dental care. The searching for exodontics was stimulated for geographic access difficulties or for repressed demand, which as a result produced the aggravation of the lesions and the discredit in restoration s treatment. The self-care practice of tooth-brush with ju? or toothpaste and the controlled ingestion of sugar was not sufficient to avoid dental lost. Guilty sentiments were identified in relation with lack of care with teeth. The acceptance of dental lost as a natural factor is an important motivation in lack of pain and in the belief that it was a simple part of life in old age. Life with dental prosthesis makes clear the difference between which was natural and which was unnatural, and difficulties with the prosthesis appeared. The limitation of the prosthesis in its functional aspect can be compensated by esthetic restitution, making possible smiling expression. Starting with this study and considering the high number of dental lost, mainly in low-rent population, which live with toothless limitations or bad-quality prosthesis which do not rehabilitate adequately, we suggested the realization of qualitative researches which include, also, another actors in heath care services such as professionals and administrators
A compreens?o ampliada dos efeitos da perda dent?ria exige escuta dos sujeitos que a experimenta. Este estudo, de abordagem qualitativa, investigou, na hist?ria odontol?gica de usu?rios do SUS, a partir do relato de suas experi?ncias com os servi?os de sa?de bucal, os motivos que os levaram ? perda dent?ria e as repercuss?es desta em suas vidas. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da t?cnica de entrevista narrativa, adaptada, utilizando-se roteiro semi-estruturado. Os sujeitos entrevistados, num total de seis (tr?s da zona urbana e tr?s da zona rural), foram usu?rios de Unidades de Sa?de da Fam?lia. Consideraram-se os seguintes crit?rios de inclus?o: presen?a de desdentamento (perda total em ambas as arcadas, ou em uma delas, ou perda parcial a partir de seis elementos em uma das arcadas); idade ente 25 e 59 anos; qualquer g?nero; ser morador dos munic?pios de S?o Tom?/RN e Natal/RN. A partir do conte?do das entrevistas foi elaborada a hist?ria odontol?gica de cada entrevistado. Tais narrativas, sistematizadas em hist?rias odontol?gicas, foram analisadas com base em estudo de Souza e na proposta de Sch?tze, sugerida por Jovchelovitch, Bauer. Os resultados indicaram que a experi?ncia de dor foi o principal motivo pela procura por assist?ncia odontol?gica. As formas de enfrentamento da dor deram-se pelo uso de medica??es caseiras e alop?ticas e pela busca do servi?o de sa?de. A procura pela exodontia foi favorecida pela dificuldade de acesso geogr?fico ou pela grande demanda reprimida, o que produziu agravamento das les?es e descr?dito na efic?cia do tratamento restaurador. A pr?tica do autocuidado atrav?s da escova??o com ju? ou creme dental e o controle do consumo de a??car n?o foram suficientes para evitar a perda dent?ria. Foram identificados sentimentos de culpa relacionados ? falta de cuidado. A aceita??o da perda dent?ria como natural teve forte rela??o com a garantia de aus?ncia de dor e a cren?a de fazer parte do processo de envelhecimento. A conviv?ncia das pessoas com a pr?tese dent?ria mostrou a diferen?a entre o que era natural e o que era artificial e, a partir da?, foram aparecendo situa??es de estranhamento com a pr?tese. A limita??o da pr?tese quanto ao aspecto funcional pode ser compensada pela restitui??o da est?tica, ao possibilitar a express?o do sorriso. A partir deste estudo e considerando o elevado n?mero de perdas dent?rias, especialmente em popula??es de menor poder aquisitivo, que convivem com limita??es pr?prias da condi??o de desdentado e ou com pr?teses de m? qualidade que n?o reabilitam, adequadamente, sugere-se a realiza??o de pesquisas de abordagem qualitativa que inclua, tamb?m, outros atores implicados na produ??o de cuidados e servi?os de sa?de profissionais e gestores

The software development processes proposed by the most recent approaches in Software Engineering make use old models. UML was proposed as the standard language for modeling. The user interface is an important part of the software and has a fundamental importance to improve its usability. Unfortunately the standard UML does not offer appropriate resources to model user interfaces. Some proposals have already been proposed to solve this problem: some authors have been using models in the development of interfaces (Model Based Development) and some proposals to extend UML have been elaborated. But none of them considers the theoretical perspective presented by the semiotic engineering, that considers that, through the system, the designer should be able to communicate to the user what he can do, and how to use the system itself. This work presents Visual IMML, an UML Profile that emphasizes the aspects of the semiotic engineering. This Profile is based on IMML, that is a declarative textual language. The Visual IMML is a proposal that aims to improve the specification process by using a visual modeling (using diagrams) language. It proposes a new set of modeling elements (stereotypes) specifically designed to the specification and documentation of user interfaces, considering the aspects of communication, interaction and functionality in an integrated manner

Abstract:

Over several decades, USU’s Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) Department and Extension specialists have engaged Utah’s rural communities through several design-based outreach activities. These activities are intended to benefit both community partners interested in learning how design can positively impact the community in tangible ways, and students, who are given the opportunity to engage with real-world projects. This study documents, evaluates, and assesses outcomes of community engagement projects undertaken by LAEP Extension to better understand the program’s impact over time and come up with approaches that will enhance the impact of future community engagement projects. This research develops a framework of indicators for assessing the impact of the selected LAEP Extension projects. Selection criteria ensures representation of an extensive array of project typologies and settings undertaken by LAEP Extension. Selected projects’ impact will be thoroughly assessed through detailed physical site examination of selected projects, administration of surveys/questionnaires/interviews with knowledgeable individuals for each project, evaluation of relevant economic data, and analysis of projects’ relationships to other local factors. Expected results include the assessment of issues related to preserving records of Extension projects, recommendations for establishing a model framework for assessing future projects’ impact, and structuring processes of documentation and evaluation for advancing research in landscape architecture, community engagement, and service-learning. It is also expected that this project will illuminate the way each project connects with Extension design engagement, subsequent project funding, and practitioner involvement. Targeted outcomes include a greater understanding of the impact of design on communities’ physical, economic, and social conditions; an increased capacity among community partners to apply design to issues that they identify in their communities; and greater collaboration between USU LAEP and Extension. Outcomes also include developing a model framework that can be used to assess, evaluate, and document the various impacts of university design engagement activities at both USU and other land grant-based design programs by evaluating past design Extension projects and future design engagement activities.

Abstract:

This dissertation describes the investigation of the interactions between the tail-anchored membrane protein U24 from Human Herpesvirus type 6A (HHV-6A) and type 7 (HHV-7) and its potential binding partners. The roles that these interactions play in U24s’ function will be presented. It has been suggested that U24 from HHV-6A (U24-6A) may trigger an autoimmune reaction in multiple sclerosis (MS), through its molecular mimicry of myelin basic protein (MBP). Both versions of U24 have been implicated in endocytic recycling via specific binding partners, namely WW domains. The first part of this thesis is a review of the foundations that this thesis is based on, from the description of Roseoloviruses, associated diseases to molecular characterizations. The two main techniques used in the studies will be described as well. Prior to commencing any structural or interaction studies, a protocol is devised to express and purify recombinant U24 from HHV-7 (U24-7), as well as preliminary studies to prepare samples suitable for structure determination by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. U24-6A was shown to be a mimic of MBP and it was suggested that it could be implicated in MS by competing with MBP for its interactions, such as the interactions with Fyn-SH3 domain. The interactions between U24-6A and Fyn-SH3 domain were therefore probed and found to be weak, calling into question this mimicry hypothesis. Because of the weak binding with Fyn-SH3 domain, alternative functions and binding partners were then explored. WW domains were chosen because their binding ligand, the PPxY (PY) motif, is present in U24 and was identified to be essential for U24’s function. In the next part of this thesis, the investigation of the interactions between U24s and WW domains in Nedd4, which is a key component required for endocytosis, are described. U24-7 and phosphorylated U24-6A were found to bind strongly to Nedd4-WW domains, suggesting the negative charge upstream from PY motif in U24 is important for high affinity interactions. Non-canonical Smurf2 WW domains were explored as well. Finally, the results presented in this thesis will be discussed in the context of the function of U24.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the isolation and characterization of the U24 membrane protein encoded by Human Herpesvirus type-6 (HHV-6), obtained from an E. coli recombinant expression system. HHV-6 infection has been previously associated with the disease multiple sclerosis (MS), and the U24 protein is of interest because it has a seven amino-acid sequence (PRTPPPS) identical to myelin basic protein (MyBP), a candidate auto-antigen in MS. In the first part of this thesis, I describe the methods that were developed to enable milligram quantities of U24 to be isolated and purified from litre cultures of E. coli. Levels of U24 expressed with a maltose binding protein-hexahistidine fusion tag were particularly enhanced by combinations of low temperature, oxidizing conditions, and/or use of minimal media culture. The significance of these results may be considered useful in application to other difficult-to-obtain membrane proteins. Subsequent chapters of this thesis describe testing the recombinant U24 for potential mimicry of MyBP structure and function. Since the polyproline region in MyBP is now being recognized for its potential in cell-signalling roles that relate to myelin sheath development and structural integrity, I hypothesized that U24 may retain some of the same attributes as MyBP on the basis of identical sequence. Results here suggest that U24 can adopt a polyproline type II helix much like MyBP, which is a structural feature important for engaging in protein-protein interactions. Furthermore, the region is also found to represent a PX(T/S)P MAPK phosphorylation motif and PXXP-based Fyn tyrosine kinase SH3 binding domain. These observations are of particular relevance since phosphorylated MyBP is particularly decreased in MS patients, and Fyn is critical to myelin development. Like MyBP, results suggest that U24 can be phosphorylated at the equivalent threonine and is also able to bind to the Fyn-SH3 domain. These results support the possibility that U24 interferes with essential myelin regulation pathways on the basis of its sequence shared with MyBP, thereby contributing to a pathological process. I conclude with a presentation of preliminary NMR structural data for U24, as well as review results from a study of U24 in an animal model system. Future directions are also discussed.

Apesar do grande avan?o dos sistemas computacionais, ainda se encontram poucas alternativas para os sistemas de ajuda. Novas abordagens se fazem necess?rias visto que as possibilidades destes sistemas de ajuda continuam sendo pouco explorados tanto por usu?rios finais quanto pelos designers. A partir de an?lises sobre novas abordagens para sistemas de ajuda e de entrevistas e sess?es de testes com usu?rio, este trabalho apresenta uma forma de organiza??o para as informa??es de ajuda de uma destas abordagens, no intuito de minimizar as dificuldades de intera??o que o usu?rio encontra.

Having been established the Brazilian System pattern of Terrestrial Digital Television the existence of an important gap is observed referring the final interface close to the user for not having, up to now, a standardized interface presented by the middleware to the Human-being improving the interactivity and usability requirements for the Digital Television applications. Considering applications with larger interaction, with interactive interface and good usability encouragement, bring a positive meaningful contribution for the approval and following success of this new technology before the Brazilian society users. This paper intends instructions stamping to meditate and to favor these necessary interface characteristics to the high interaction between the users and the Digital TV applications. In addition to proposing, this study evaluates qualitatively the guidelines, through a field test conducted through source interviews with potential and different users. This study allowed to verify the proposed guidelines are pertinent and necessary for the middleware interface and for the applications, furthermore, as a result, developers for Digital TV to search the interactive applications that will find in it references that will make your applications being accepted by users.
Tendo sido estabelecido o padr?o do Sistema Brasileiro de Televis?o Digital Terrestre observa-se a exist?ncia de uma lacuna importante no que concerne ? interface final junto ao usu?rio por n?o existir, at? o momento, uma padroniza??o para a interface apresentada pelo middleware ao Ser Humano que favore?a a interatividade e usabilidade exigida para as aplica??es de Televis?o Digital. Considerando que aplica??es com maior intera??o, com interface interativa e bom favorecimento ? usabilidade, trazem uma contribui??o significativamente positiva para a aceita??o e conseq?ente sucesso desta nova tecnologia perante os usu?rios da sociedade brasileira. Este trabalho prop?e diretrizes que visam contemplar e favorecer estas caracter?sticas de interface necess?rias ? alta intera??o entre os usu?rios e as aplica??es de TV Digital, al?m de propor diretrizes, este trabalho as avalia de forma qualitativa, por meio de um teste de campo realizando entrevistas com poss?veis e distintos usu?rios. Este estudo permitiu constatar que as diretrizes propostas s?o pertinentes e necess?rias para a interface do middleware e das aplica??es, e, portanto, os desenvolvedores de aplica??o e/ou de interfaces das aplica??es para TV Digital ao buscar interatividade nas aplica??es podem encontrar nele referenciais que possam fazer com que suas aplica??es sejam bem aceitas pelos usu?rios.
