A gestação e os primeiros tempos da vida de um bebê são fundamentais para o estabelecimento do vínculo com seus pais; além de garantir sua sobrevivência, fornecem matéria-prima para as tramas de seu psiquismo, formando um solo no qual se desenvolverão suas relações ao longo da vida. Concomitante a essa construção, transcorre um processo análogo com os pais, que se vão construindo gradativamente nessa condição ao se relacionar com o filho. No entanto, esses primeiros tempos podem ter um forte impacto em quem gera e cuida do bebê. Assim, a finalidade deste estudo é iluminar as vivências psíquicas da mulher no pós- -parto e verificar que recursos desenvolve para lidar com o trabalho psíquico necessário para enfrentar os lutos e construir e exercitar a parentalidade. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa balizada teoricamente pela psicanálise, estudaram-se cinco duplas mãe-bebê. Houve ao menos quatro encontros como cada dupla: pelo menos um na gestação e três após o parto (uma semana, um mês e dois meses). Os encontros gestacionais se deram num lugar escolhido pela participante e os no puerpério, em sua casa. Com o instrumental da psicanálise, fizeram-se entrevistas semidirigidas e observação da relação que a mãe estabelecia com o bebê e com a pesquisadora. Analisou-se cada caso em separado e se verificaram possíveis confluências entre eles. Tendo em conta a especificidade do funcionamento psíquico materno e o impacto das exigências de um filho para quem deve ajudá-lo a viver, a pesquisa revelou a importância de considerar a amplitude dos fenômenos de gestar e cuidar. Esse papel, que toda mãe deve exercer, foi vivido, ao menos num primeiro momento, como brutal e desorganizador não só pela mulher, mas por toda a família. As dificuldades de se metabolizarem essas vivências e as perdas inerentes ao processo por exemplo, o bebê ideal, a maternidade idealizada, o narcisismo, o ritmo anterior e a rotina, entre outras podem prejudicar a construção e o exercício da parentalidade e mesmo obstar a superação do baby blues, eventualmente desencadeando fenômenos depressivos (manifestos ou encobertos). Os ganhos reais decorrentes da chegada do bebê podem ser vividos a partir desse contato com as perdas e de sua elaboração. Concluiu-se também que se devem construir mecanismos de prevenção e cuidados para a família nesses primeiros tempos de vida do bebê, com a colaboração entre as várias disciplinas envolvidas e com políticas de saúde pública. Entre as questões levantadas a esse propósito, alerta-se para o risco de se negligenciarem ou, no outro extremo, patologizarem as dores inerentes à delicada construção da parentalidade / Gestation and the first times in a babys life are fundamental to the establishment of bonds with the parents; apart from guaranteeing their survival, it provides the basis for the webs of their psychism, forming the ground on which their relationships will develop throughout their life. Concomitant to this construction, the parents go through an analogue process, gradually building themselves in this condition as they relate to the child. However, these first times may have a strong impact on who generates and cares for the baby. Thus, the aim of this study is to enlighten the womans post-partum psychic experiences and to verify the resources developed to cope with the psychic work necessary to face the grieves and to build and exercise parenthood. Through a qualitative research theoretically bound by psychoanalysis, five mother-baby pairs were studied. There were a minimum of four encounters with each pair: at least one on gestation e three post-partum (one-week, one-month and two-month old). The gestational meetings took place at a location chose by the participant and the puerperium encounters, at her home. With psychoanalysis instrumental, semi-guided interviews and observation of the relationship established by the mother with the baby and with the researcher took place. Each case was separately analyzed and possible confluences between them were verified. Taking into account the specificity of the psychic maternal functioning and the impact of the demands of a child on who must help them live, the research revealed the importance of considering the amplitude of the carrying and caring phenomena. This role, that all mothers must play, was experienced, at least at first, as brutal and disorganizing not only by the woman, but by the whole family. The difficulties of metabolizing these experiences and the losses inherent to the process for instance, the ideal baby, idealized motherhood, narcissism, the previous rhythm and the routine, among others may damage the construction and the exercise of parenthood and even thwart the overcoming of the baby blues, eventually unfolding depressive phenomena (manifest or covered). The real gains resulting from the babys arrival may be lived from this contact with the losses and its elaboration. It was also concluded that prevention and care mechanisms for the family must be built in these first times of the baby\'s life, with collaboration between the various disciplines involved and with public health policies. Amongst the issues raised to this purpose, an alert is made to the risk of neglecting or, on the other end, pathologizing the pains inherent to the delicate construction of parenthood

This study examined the key aspects for baby boomers, people born between 1946-1964, interms of restaurant choice and the dining experience. Additionally, it also investigated whether there are differences between men and women in these regards. This was conducted through structured interviews which were analyzed via pie charts, correlation tables, andthematic analysis. The research revealed that the differences between men and women are inmany cases small, although a few aspects showed significant differences. The aspects mosthighly prioritized by the baby boomer generation included the variety of food options, thequality of service, and the restaurant concept when choosing a restaurant. Regarding thepriorities between men and women, the aspect "quality of service" was the highest priority among women, while among men, the aspect of "variety of food options" was of utmost importance.

Health literacy represents the cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use information in ways which promote and maintain good health, according to WHO. Common health literacy level may be sufficient in the case of smooth pregnancy and natural childbirth. However, if there are some health problems, it is necessary to support an increase in health literacy level of mothers. Main objective of this thesis is to describe the objective health literacy level of mothers with premature baby and to identify areas that are for these mothers most problematic. The theoretical part deals with demographic data related to premature births, the basic definition of prematurity, an essential characteristic of neonatology and organization of care, premature baby, the most common medical complications and prognosis. Defines and operationalizes health literacy of mothers with premature baby. Research used a qualitative methodology. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Respondents for interview were physicians who care for preterm infants. The selection of respondents was conducted using the snowball sampling to facilitate data analysis, were interviews transcribed and then analyzed using the cluster analysis. Results were...

Cette recherche s’intéresse aux enjeux de l’habitat de demain de la génération des baby-boomers, tout particulièrement ceux nés entre 1945 et 1953, qui arrivent aujourd’hui à la retraite. C’est au carrefour de la vision de ce que signifie habiter selon des auteurs comme Benoit Goetz ( 2011), des philosophes comme Heidegger (1958), Bachelard (1957), Benjamin (1955), Büber (1962) ou encore Deleuze (1980) d’une part, soulignant les facteurs de porosité et les liens aux autres, et d’autre part les caractéristiques des baby-boomers telles que présentées par Jean François Sirinelli (2003) et Josée Garceau (2012), que se situe la recherche. Cette génération informée entend rester active et pratique des « adeptions » qui influencent par les gestes un savoir habiter et par là son habitat. L’étude de terrain a sondé les aspirations des baby-boomers en ce qui concerne leur choix résidentiel pour l’avenir, pour comprendre sur quelles valeurs et vers quels buts leur projet se construit. Le choix de méthodologies qualitatives s’appuie sur le visionnement préalable d’un film récent : Et si on vivait tous ensemble. Des entretiens semi-dirigés, auprès de cinq baby-boomers, de 60 à 65 ans, effectués en deux phases avec verbatim approuvés,étaient basés sur trois thèmes : la mémoire, l’adeption et le projet. Entre autres résultats, sont confirmés avec variantes, plusieurs concepts théoriques, comme ceux de porosité et d’ouverture par la fenêtre à la fois physique et virtuelle, mais soulignent le spectre de la maison de retraite et des préoccupations financières concernant l’avenir d’un habitat nécessairement autonome. Cette génération imprégnée par le monde technologique veut avoir accès à tout ce que propose la modernité sans pour autant perdre le sens de l’historicité de leur vie. Nés dans un monde en bouillonnement, les baby-boomers ont réinventé chaque étape de leur existence, ce qui laisse préfigurer que cette génération s’apprête à réinventer la retraite et ses sites domiciliaires. Aussi l’approche design devra-t-elle complètement se renouveler pour ces nouveaux usagers. / This study is about the stakes of how the baby boomer generation, in particular those born between 1945 and 1954 who are currently retiring, will deal with their living spaces. I shall take into account the multiple visions of Benoit Goetz (2011), Heidegger (1958), Bachelard (1957), Benjamin (1955), Büber (1962) and Deleuze (1980) who analyze what it means to live in a given living space. Indeed not only must porosity factors and increasing relations between beings be analyzed but also the characteristics of these baby boomers themselves with regards to who they are as Jean Francois Sirinelli (2003) and Josée Garceau (2012) have done. This new generation of baby boomers hopes to remain active and in order to do so seeks to adapt and influence their living spaces as well as their conceptualizations of what it means to “live”. This current study has asked baby boomers what their visions are for their future residential choices in order to grasp on what values and for what goals their project is based on,. This was done by having five baby boomer between the age of 60-65 to watch the movie Et si on vivait tous ensemble. Afterwards, semi-directed interviews, based on their memory of the movie, what adaptions they foresee in addition to how they see their future, were conducted in two different phases with approved verbatim. The findings were then compared and confirmed with different theoretical frameworks such as porosity and opening of a physical and virtual window. At the same time, retirement homes and the financial considerations behind an aging population were taken into account. This generation, immersed in technology wants to have access to such modern technology without losing the feeling of controlling their lives and story. Born in an innovation and changing time, they have already proven capable of changing and reinventing each stage of their life. This, therefore, leaves us to believe that they will do the same with their vision of retirement and living spaces. Hence, tomorrow’s design models will have to renew itself for its new users.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur olika generationer agerar på eWOM-kommunikation via online recensioner. Metod: Studien använder en kvantitativ forskningsmetod med en enkätundersökning som underlag för framarbetat resultat. Enkätundersökningen baserades på 8 frågor och 148 svar samlades in från respondenter från tre olika generationer. Svaren analyserades med deskriptiv statistik och univariat analys. Resultat och slutsats: Studiens resultat visar hur generationstillhörigheterna Baby Boomers, Generation X och Generation Y agerar när de läser online recensioner. De tre generationernas köpintentioner baseras på centrala faktorer som riskbenägenhet, förtroende och internetkompetens. Alla tre generationerna hävdar att eWOM och i synnerhet online recensioner påverkar dem. Förslag till vidare forskning: Ytterligare forskning kan undersöka varför konsumenter av en produkt inte är benägna att själva skriva recension men vill ta del av recensioner av produkter som andra konsumenter skrivit. Trots att det tydligt framgår att recensioner är en viktig del av köpbeslutsprocessen. Denna ovilja finns representerade hos samtliga undersökta generationer vilket framtida forskning bör undersöka.    Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien bidrar med ett antal förtydliganden för konsumentbeteenden i eWOM-kommunikationen. Studien kommer fram till flertalet slutsatser om hur generationerna påverkas och agerar för online recensioner. / Aim: The purpose of the study is to explain how different generational affiliation react on eWOM-communication via online reviews. Method: The study uses a quantitative research method to conduct survey. The survey was based on 8 questions and 148 responses were collected from respondents from three different generations. The responses were analyzed by descriptive statistics and univariate analysis. Result and conclusion: The study shows how generational affiliations of Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y act on the online reviews. The three generations` buying intentions are based on key factors such as risk aversion, trust and internet knowledge. All three generations claims that eWOM and, in particular, online reviews affect them. Further research: A future study can deal with why consumers of a product are not inclined to write online reviews of the product but want to read online reviews on products from other consumers. Although it is obvious that reviews are an important part of the purchasing decision. All three generations investigated tend to not willing to write online reviews Contribution of the thesis: The contribution of the study is several clarifications for consumer behavior in general especially generation marketing. The study concludes how the generations are affected and act for online reviews.

With the largest U.S. generation in the midst of retirement, the Baby Boomer cohort is vastly changing the senior housing landscape. As the housing market gradually improves and the development of senior housing chases the increasing demand, Baby Boomers are a highly selective cohort with more buying and spending power than their predecessors, are healthier and more active, and are demanding an unconventional modification of alternative senior housing. The “traditional” senior community is outdated and no longer seen as a viable choice for retirement, and new and innovated models have surpassed the old-fashioned establishments. Among the innovative senior community models, the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) combines a variety of unique residential options and comprehensive services that meet the needs of new and active retirees and aging seniors. Focusing on the Baby Boomer cohort in conjunction with a modified CCRC model, this project examines the current demographic and housing landscape for Baby Boomers and seniors, as well as assesses trending planning techniques and design elements to formulate an ideal senior living prototype for the 234 acre Sinclair Ranch in Chinese Camp, California. In culmination of research, academic literature review, survey analysis, and case study review, key trending planning and design elements have emerged to develop a state-of-the-art CCRC intended to meet market demands and desires of a growing and highly selective senior cohort. Thus, this project concludes with a design Draft Plan for the Sinclair Ranch that captures both the characteristics of an innovative CCRC and the emergent desires stemming from the shifting senior landscape. With key design recommendations and proposed community features, the draft plan is intended to outline and guide the vision of the proposed development for the Sinclair Ranch CCRC.

The purpose of this research is to analyse how gender is ‘done’, represented and reproduced in a Peruvian baby shower ritual. The study is situated geographically in the urban Andean setting of Cusco, and theoretically, in a feminist framework combining an ethnomethodological ‘doing gender’ perspective, anchored in social interactions, with a linguistic performativity approach, as formulated by Judith Butler. In the latter, gender is understood as performed through discursive practices of iterability. The ethnographic material, collected from two baby showers and additional interviews, demonstrate several ways and sites in which gender is done and performed in the Cusqeanean baby shower. This occurs, for instance, by the means of gendered gifts, decorations and performances of gender-crossing and hyperbolised displays of masculinity, femininity and sexuality.             Furthermore, to help make sense of the notions of prenatal gender, as well as the strictly gendered cultural norms for invitation cards, decoration and gift-making, which made me unknowingly brake conventions when bringing gender-neutral wooden toys to a Peruvian baby shower, I draw on theorisation of fetal personhood. Adapting van Gennep’s (2004[1909]) concept, I propose that the baby shower could be conceptualised as a rite of passage, in which the unborn transcends from the state of fetus to a gendered baby. The acts of naming and attributing gender in the baby shower ritual, I argue, are requisites for incorporating the child into the society, as family members and, ultimately, as human beings. The baby shower can, thus, be regarded a crucial site for the ‘social birth’ of the Cusqueanean baby.
