Die Arbeitszufriedenheit, das Wohlbefinden und das Stresslevel der Mitarbeitenden haben großen Einfluss auf die Atmosphäre auf den Stationen. Dennoch wird bei der Planung und dem Bau von Kliniken und psychiatrischen Einrichtungen der Fokus meist auf das Wohlbefinden und die Sicherheit der Patient:innen gelegt. Die Bedürfnisse der Mitarbeitenden werden dabei nur selten beachtet. Auf Grund dessen beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit mit der Frage, wie die Grundrisstypologien der Stationen aussehen müssen, um den Arbeitsalltag der Mitarbeitenden positiv zu beeinflussen. Hierbei liegt der Fokus speziell auf der forensischen Psychiatrie nach § 64 StGB. Um eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu finden, wurde eine Umfrage durchgeführt, bei der die Mitarbeitenden der Klinik für forensische Psychiatrie im städtischen Klinikum St. Georg Leipzig ihre Sichtweisen darlegen und Wünsche äußern konnten. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage zeigen, dass vor allem eine gute Einsehbarkeit der Station den Arbeitsalltag der Mitarbeitenden deutlich verbessert und ihr Stresslevel verringert. Auch kurze Laufwege und die Möglichkeit an einem ruhigen Rückzugsort ungestört die Pause verbringen zu können, wirken sich positiv auf das Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeitenden aus. Auf Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wurden schematische Raumstrukturen für eine Station in einer forensischen Psychiatrie entworfen. [...aus dem Text]

In diesem Artikel sollen Potenziale im Flurbereich einer Wohngruppe für Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störung (ASS) betrachtet werden. Die Bewohner:innen dieser Wohngruppe haben einen äußerst hohen Bedarf an Unterstützung und können zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt keine Sozialkontakte eingehen bzw. sind nicht gruppenfähig. Die Erkenntnisse sollen ermöglichen, dass Flure nicht nur die Funktion eines Durchgangsbereiches einnehmen, sondern auch als Orte der Begegnung, der Orientierung und der Förderung von Selbstständigkeit dienen. Und auch als solche konzeptionell berücksichtigt werden. Um sich der Frage zu nähern, ob es diese Potenziale gibt und wie diese durch architektonische Elemente unterstützt werden können, wurde ein ortszentriertes Behavior Mapping im Flur der intensivpädagogischen Wohngruppe durchgeführt. Ziel der Beobachtungen war das Nutzungsverhalten von Bewohner:innen und Personal der Wohngruppe zu analysieren, um daraus Gestaltungsempfehlungen abzuleiten. Folgende Elemente der Flurgestaltung ließen sich aus den Beobachtungen und der Literaturrecherche ableiten: Reizarmut der Umgebung zur Vermeidung von sensorischen Reizen. Ausreichend Platz für funktionelle Verkehrsfläche und Durchwegung sowie Arbeitsabläufe. Orientierungs- und Leitsysteme, um die Funktion von Bereichen zu kennzeichnen und die Orientierung zu erleichtern. Zonierung nach Funktionen zur Stärkung bestimmter Aktivitäten wie Kommunikation. Rückzugsmöglichkeiten tragen durch eine kontrollierbare Umwelt zur Stressreduktion bei. [... aus dem Text]

Die Stegreifreihe soll den Studierenden eine Entwurfsaufgabe geben, welche in begrenzter Zeit mit Hilfe von Skizzen, Plänen und Konzeptmodellen ausgearbeitet werden soll. Diese Form des Entwurfstrainings soll kreative und unkonventionelle Lösungsansätze zu einer gegebenen räumlichen Situation fördern. Die Stegreifreihe bietet eine praxisorientierte Ergänzung zum ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Lab. In diesem Jahr bezog sich der Stegreifentwurf auf die Klinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie des Städtischen Klinikums Dresden am Standort Weißer Hirsch. Mittels eigener Entwürfe entwickelten die Studierenden architektonische Idee für den Eingangsbereich oder den Essensraum der Akutpsychiatrie Station P1. Die Stegreifreihe umfasste drei Phasen. Zuerst entwickelten die Studierenden ihre erste Idee für den Entwurf. Dieser wurde anhand von Personas der unterschiedlichen Nutzergruppen im Rahmen einer Workshopsituation reflektiert. Das dabei erhaltene Feedback und Anregungen aus Nutzerperspektive wurde in der finalen Phase in die Entwürfe eingearbeitet. Folgend werden die Entwürfe präsentiert. [... aus dem Text]

The work Psiquê (2010) Angela Lake, was the object studied throughout this research. The author, rescuing the classical greek myth of Eros and Psyche, recounts the story of lovers with innovative features and instigators of the imagination. The author Teresa Colomer (2003), in The formation of the literary reader: children's storytelling and current youth has allowed us to understand a little more about the Lake trajectory within the historical context of children and youth literature in Brazil. The words deserve a single chapter, where you can discuss the importance of hybrid genre and its ability to unite prose and poetry without losing the quality of text, so we were guided by studies of Octavio Paz (2012), in The Bow and the lira. The author discusses the importance of word and its plural ability to be more than mere linguistic signs. The illustrations have preserved the poetic, as raised the multiplicity of meanings in this way were studied, first, alone. The light theories Sophie Van der Linden (2011) in Order to read the picture book could analyze the images so that each of them could exhibit its potency. But as word and image can not be dissociated from this context, we developed a final chapter to show the union between the two media. We note from the reflections of Mircea Eliade (2012), in Myth and reality that Psiquê extinguishes the boundaries of literary genres, recovering and returning the poetic origins / O presente trabalho procurou analisar como uma narrativa pode ser construída a partir da interação entre duas linguagens: verbal e visual. A obra Psiquê (2010) de Ângela Lago, foi o objeto estudado ao longo desta pesquisa. A autora, resgatando o clássico mito grego de Eros e Psiquê, reconta a história dos amantes com traços inovadores e instigadores da imaginação. A autora Teresa Colomer (2003), em A formação do leitor literário: narrativa infantil e juvenil atual nos permitiu compreender um pouco mais a respeito da trajetória de Lago dentro do contexto histórico da literatura infantojuvenil no Brasil. As palavras mereceram um capítulo único, no qual pode se discutir a importância do gênero híbrido e sua capacidade de unir prosa e poesia sem perder a qualidade do texto, para isso fomos orientados pelos estudos de Octávio Paz (2012), em O Arco e a lira. O autor discute a importância da palavra e sua capacidade plural em ser mais do que meros signos linguísticos. Já as ilustrações preservaram o poético, tal como suscitaram a multiplicidade de significados, desta forma foram estudadas, primeiramente, sozinhas. A luz das teorias de Sophie Van der Linden (2011), em Para ler o livro ilustrado conseguimos analisar as imagens de modo que cada uma delas pudesse exibir sua potência. Mas como palavra e imagem não podem ser dissociadas neste contexto, desenvolvemos um último capítulo a fim de mostrar a união entre os dois meios de comunicação. Constatamos a partir das reflexões de Mircea Eliade (2012), em Mito e realidade, que Psiquê extingue as fronteiras dos gêneros literários, resgatando o poético e retornando às origens

Winnicott, adopting the understanding of his theory of personal maturation as interpreted by Elsa Dias and Zeljko Loparic. It aims to show that the author makes conceptual issues in psychoanalysis that modify the general approach of reflection on the psychoaffective organization of the human being, conceived by him as the object of his psychoanalysis. Instead of keeping the opposition body-mind, Winnicott suggests that the psycho-affective organization is given based on other poles, opposing the psyche and the soma and considering the mind a different aspect of the functioning of psyche. The explanation of these terms-concepts, as well as what he characterized as imaginative elaboration of bodily functions, in conjunction with the description that he makes of one of the initial task of maturation, the housing of the psyche in the body, provide useful information to understand the Winnicottian proposition whereby existence is essentially psychosomatic. Moreover, one can cite, as a matter of illustration, some psychosomatic disorders (especially anorexia and bulimia), which clarifies the way Winnicott considers this type of clinical problem. Roughly speaking, it aims to show that the cited author considers disorders involving the body as attempts to achieve a psychosomatic integration that was not satisfactory achieved in the process of emotional maturation. / Esta pesquisa de natureza te?rica pretende compreender o processo de integra??o psicossom?tica considerando as no??es de soma, psique e mente no quadro da teoria psicanal?tica proposta por Donald W.

Procura-se mostrar que esse autor faz introdu??es conceituais na psican?lise que modificam a perspectiva geral de reflex?o sobre a organiza??o psico-afetiva do ser humano, concebida por ele como o objeto de sua psican?lise. Ao inv?s de manter a oposi??o corpo-mente, Winnicott prop?e que a organiza??o psico-afetiva se d? considerando-se outros p?los, colocando de um lado a psique e, de outro, o soma, sendo a mente um aspecto diferenciado do funcionamento da psique. A explicita??o desses termos-conceitos, bem como o que ele caracteriza como elabora??o imaginativa das fun??es corporais, em conjun??o com a descri??o que faz de uma das tarefas iniciais do amadurecimento, o alojamento da psique no corpo, oferece indica??es ?teis para entender a proposi??o winnicottiana de que a exist?ncia ? essencialmente psicossom?tica. Al?m disso, pode-se citar, em car?ter ilustrativo, alguns dist?rbios psicossom?ticos (em especial, a anorexia e a bulimia), os quais elucidam a maneira como Winnicott considera este tipo de problema cl?nico. Grosso modo, procura-se mostrar que o autor citado entende os dist?rbios que envolvem o corpo como tentativas de alcan?ar uma integra??o psicossom?tica que n?o se constituiu satisfatoriamente no processo do amadurecimento afetivo.

abstract: Mathematical models are important tools for addressing problems that exceed experimental capabilities. In this work, I present ordinary and partial differential equation (ODE, PDE) models for two problems: Vicodin abuse and impact cratering. The prescription opioid Vicodin is the nation's most widely prescribed pain reliever. The majority of Vicodin abusers are first introduced via prescription, distinguishing it from other drugs in which the most common path to abuse begins with experimentation. I develop and analyze two mathematical models of Vicodin use and abuse, considering only those patients with an initial Vicodin prescription. Through adjoint sensitivity analysis, I show that focusing efforts on prevention rather than treatment has greater success at reducing the total population of abusers. I prove that solutions to each model exist, are unique, and are non-negative. I also derive conditions for which these solutions are asymptotically stable. Verification and Validation (V&V) are necessary processes to ensure accuracy of computational methods. Simulations are essential for addressing impact cratering problems, because these problems often exceed experimental capabilities. I show that the Free Lagrange (FLAG) hydrocode, developed and maintained by Los Alamos National Laboratory, can be used for impact cratering simulations by verifying FLAG against two analytical models of aluminum-on-aluminum impacts at different impact velocities and validating FLAG against a glass-into-water laboratory impact experiment. My verification results show good agreement with the theoretical maximum pressures, and my mesh resolution study shows that FLAG converges at resolutions low enough to reduce the required computation time from about 28 hours to about 25 minutes. Asteroid 16 Psyche is the largest M-type (metallic) asteroid in the Main Asteroid Belt. Radar albedo data indicate Psyche's surface is rich in metallic content, but estimates for Psyche's composition vary widely. Psyche has two large impact structures in its Southern hemisphere, with estimated diameters from 50 km to 70 km and estimated depths up to 6.4 km. I use the FLAG hydrocode to model the formation of the largest of these impact structures. My results indicate an oblique angle of impact rather than a vertical impact. These results also support previous claims that Psyche is metallic and porous. / Dissertation/Thesis / Psyche asteroid impact simulation initialization / Psyche asteroid impact simulation video / Doctoral Dissertation Applied Mathematics 2019

It has become something of a truism to contend that David Foster Wallace was concerned with irony; both its challenge to ethical conviction and the ability of the author to enact sincere communication in the millennial United States. However, this privileging of sincerity within Wallace Studies has resulted in neglect being shown to the first half of Polonius’ famous dialectic – ‘to thine own self be true’ – precluding analysis of Wallace that focuses on his relationship with authenticity. Similarly, critics have often sought to argue for Wallace’s panhuman universalism, to the detriment of the overtly nationalistic strain in his writing. This thesis aims to address these underrepresented areas within Wallace scholarship, arguing that his writing is fundamentally engaged with a debate over what it means to be ‘real American’. The phrase is taken from a 1996 interview with Salon.com’s Laura Miller, during which Wallace averred that his intention when writing Infinite Jest was to capture ‘something real American, about what it’s like to live in America around the millenium’ (Conversations with David Foster Wallace 59). This comment is central to an understanding of Wallace’s oeuvre, as it introduces his historical specificity and his pragmatic desire to explore ‘what it’s like to live’, whilst also alluding to his constant negotiation with epistemological and ontological questions over the ‘real’, all framed within an expressly nationalistic paradigm. The word ‘real’ is used in this sense both as an adverb to connote something that is authentically or intrinsically ‘American’, whilst it also serves as an intensifier – to denote something that is very American – implying a hierarchy of things that can be more ‘American’ than others. With regards to his immediate historical context, this entrenches Wallace firmly within the Culture Wars of the 1990s, and yet it also gestures further back in history, situating him within a fundamentally American literary tradition: the American Jeremiad. Wallace’s challenge was to attempt to engage with ideas of the real and the really American, despite the challenges to authenticity (and indeed the idea of a nation) that resulted from the permeation of myriad contemporary discourses into the national psyche, including advertising jargon, postmodern/poststructural ‘theory’, the language of psychotherapy, the discourse of political correctness, and the partisan rhetoric of politicians. The first two chapters will focus on Wallace's engagement with ostensible challenges to the 'authentic' subject, and the difficulty of authentically representing the self. Chapter one will focus on 'Octet' and Wallace's uneasy place within the so-called 'New Sincerity' paradigm, highlighting Wallace’s attempt to counter the discourse of ‘postmodern irony’ with an ‘other-directed’ sincerity, and yet exposing his conservative project of self-preservation. Chapter two will examine Wallace's often fraught relationship with psychotherapy; in particular the way that psychotherapeutic discourse has infiltrated American culture, precluding the singularity and authentic representation of individual experience. Chapter three will continue this exploration of the widespread adoption of specialist discourses, although this time focusing on the abstractions of postmodern/poststructural theory, and Wallace’s attempt to find ‘real American’ replacement cultural symbols that could be applied to both individuals and the nation as a collective. Chapter four will be concerned with Wallace's search for an efficacious philosophical model that is suitably 'American'; whilst also capable of incorporating the singularity of individual experience within a national collectivity. Finally, chapter five will focus on Wallace's more explicit engagement with politics, tracing the development of his political ideas. In doing so a picture of Wallace will emerge that highlights some of his contradictions; contradictions that he himself was aware of and drew attention to, as well as contradictions that run to the very heart of 'the idea of America'.

La dermatite atopique est une dermatose inflammatoire apparaissant préférentiellement avant l’âge de cinq ans, et évoluant naturellement vers la guérison après l’adolescence dans plus de 90% des cas. L’origine de cette amélioration spontanée n’est pas clairement établie dans cette dermatose multifactorielle dont l’étiopathogénie reste encore à déterminer (maturation du système immunitaire ?). Les liens de cette pathologie avec le psychisme sont certains : retentissement psychologique important avec altération de la qualité de vie, aggravation voire déclenchement des poussées par le stress, amélioration des lésions par psychothérapie. L’observation de la nature de la structure d’attachement est importante dans le domaine de la psychopathologie. Elle est encore peu réalisée dans le domaine da la pathologie organique. Nous avons étudié la structure d’attachement de 80 adultes ayant présenté dans l’enfance une dermatite atopique, 40 d’entre eux ayant une guérison de celle-ci depuis l’adolescence, 40 autres présentant une pérennisation des crises d’eczéma. L’évaluation de l’attachement a été réalisée avec un autoquestionnaire (CAMIR de PIERREHUMBERT) et la cotation de l’entretien d’attachement avec la méthode Q-SORT selon KOBAK. Nous avons également mesuré les symptômes psychopathologiques associés avec l’échelle SCL90-R, le niveau d’anxiété avec l’inventaire trait-état de SPIELBERGER (STAIY) et le coping avec le WCC-R de VITALIANO. Les IgE totales ont été dosées. Les sujets avec dermatite atopique ayant débutée avant trois ans ne sont pas plus insécures que ceux avec un début plus tardif de leur dermatose. Ceci fait évoquer la possibilité d’une absence de retentissement sur la structure d’attachement d’une dermatite atopique apparaissant dans les premiéres années de vie, contrairement à ce qui est noté dans toute pathologie chronique d’apparition précoce. Il est alors supposé un effet positif des soins cutanés sur la nature de la relation de la dyade mère-enfant. Par contre, le retentissement ultérieur de la dermatite atopique chez l’adulte est important, avec augmentation d’une insécurité préoccupée en termes de représentations d’attachement, une augmentation des scores de toutes les dimensions psychopathologiques mesurées et une recherche anxieuse de soutien à l’extérieur. Ce retentissement est d’autant plus important que les IgE sont élevées, ceci n’étant pas uniquement le reflet de la gravité de la maladie. Les adultes présentant une dermatite atopique pérennisée sont structurellement plus insécures que ceux qui ont guéris : si nous considèrons l’aspect stable dans le temps de la structure d’attachement, ces résultats positionneraient celle ci en tant que possible facteur dispositionnel prédictif dans l’évolution de la dermatite atopique. Le score de sécurité des patients guéris est d’autant plus élevé que les IgE sont normales. Un phénomène d’interaction entre le système d’attachement et le système adaptatif au stress, à dépendance développementale commune sur certains aspects, est évoqué. Le rôle des IgE reste à déterminer. En termes de psychologie de la santé, la structure d’attachement pourrait être considérée comme un facteur dispositionnel susceptible d’influer l’évolution de la dermatite atopique. / Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disorder which usually appears before the age of five, and heals naturally little by little after adolescence in over 90% of cases. Why this spontaneous improvement occurs is not clearly established for this multi-factor skin disorder, for which the etiopathology has yet to be determined (immune system maturity?).There is a clear relationship between this pathology and the psyche: major psychological repercussions affecting the quality of life, aggravation or triggering of skin reactions due to stress, alleviation of lesions using psychotherapy. Observation of patterns of attachment is important in the field of psychopathology, but is not often undertaken in the domain of organic pathology. We studied the patterns of attachment for 80 adults having suffered from atopic dermatitis during childhood, 40 of them had been cured since adolescence, the other 40 continued to suffer from outbreaks of eczema. Attachment was evaluated using a self-completion questionnaire (CAMIR by PIERRE HUMBERT) and the attachment interview was graded using the Q-SORT method, by KOBAK. We also measured the associated psychopathological symptoms using the SCL90-R scale, level of anxiety using SPIELBERGER’s state-trait-anxiety inventory (STAIY), and coping measurement using the WCC-R scale devised by VITALIANO. Total IgE was measured. Patients suffering from atopic dermatitis that began before the age of 3 years are not more insecure than patients whose skin disorder started later in life. This meant that there were possibly no repercussions on the pattern of attachment for cases of atopic dermatitis that had appeared in the first years of life, contrary to all reports regarding a chronic pathology appearing early in life. This implies that caring for the skin has a positive effect on the mother-child relationship. On the other hand, adults suffer from major repercussions of atopic dermatitis later on in life: increased sense of preoccupied insecurity in terms of representations of attachment, increased scores in all the psychopathological dimensions measured, and an anxious need for outside support. These repercussions are even more serious when IgE is high, but this is not solely connected with the gravity of the illness. Adults suffering from persistent atopic dermatitis are basically more insecure than those who are cured: if long-term stability in the pattern of attachment is considered, this study could place pattern of attachment as a possible predictive disposition factor in the evolution of atopic dermatitis. The security score of cured patients is all the greater when IgE is normal. The existence of an interaction between the attachment pattern and the system for adapting to stress has been suggested, since they are both dependent on development. The role played by IgE remains to be determined. In terms of health psychology, the pattern of attachment could be considered as a disposition factor likely to influence the evolution of a skin disorder.

Este trabalho aborda temas relacionados com o conceito e a prática do cuidado pastoral, com as contribuições da análise junguiana para a orientação e o aconselhamento cristão, bem como estuda as ligações entre a terapêutica junguiana e a poimênica. Em sua consecução, parte da assertiva de que o cuidado pastoral e o aconselhamento cristão estão vinculados aos ministérios da igreja, no sentido da diaconia, aos serviços que implicam a ajuda a pessoas e grupos, porque lhes oferece a perspectiva da fé e da revelação. Desenvolve a idéia de que a psicologia analítica pode oferecer um método adequado às necessidades cristãs, tendo em vista que a abordagem junguiana possibilita tanto a transformação e a integração dos conteúdos psíquicos, quanto uma tomada do caminho do conhecimento de si mesmo, sendo que ambas essas resultantes também apontam para os benefícios da orientação espiritual e religiosa, mostrando que este é o encontro e a relação principal entre a análise junguiana, o cuidado pastoral e a própria religião. No desenvolvimento dessas perspectivas foram exploradas as dimensões religiosas e simbólicas da psique e da teologia da cruz enquanto vértices para uma efetiva cura da alma / This paper discusses issues related to the concept and practice of pastoral care, with contributions from Jungian analysis for Christian guidance and counseling, as well as studies the links between Jungian therapy and pastoral care. To accomplish this, it is based on the assertion that the Christian counseling and pastoral care are linked to the ministries of the church, in the sense of diakonia, to the services that involve helping people and groups, because it offers them the prospect of faith and revelation. It develops the idea that analytical psychology can offer a suitable method for Christian needs, considering that the Jungian approach enables both the transformation and integration of psychic contents, as well as taking on the path of self-knowledge, and both of these results also point to the benefits of spiritual and religious guidance, showing that this is the main meeting of and relationship between Jungian analysis, pastoral care, and religion itself. In developing these perspectives religious and symbolic dimensions of the psyche and the theology of the cross as vertices for effective healing of the soul were explored.

Cette thèse porte sur la rencontre du sujet avec les langues et en particulier dans un contexte socio-culturel donné marqué par une pluralité culturelle et linguistique. Elle explore le rapport du sujet à la(aux) langue(s), et plus précisément s’intéresse aux effets de côtoiement des langues sur la construction identitaire. Elle tente d’apporter un éclairage sur ce que la langue, son appropriation, son partage, sa transmission, mobilise sur le plan psychique et ouvre sur ses fonctions comme un héritage familial redoublé sur le plan culturel. Partant du lien étroit entre psychisme et culture et s’appuyant principalement sur les propositions théoriques de la psychanalyse, ce travail de recherche appréhende le sujet dans sa singularité selon une méthode d’analyse clinique d’entretiens de recherche. L’analyse des entretiens montre que dans la parole des sujets rencontrés le rapport à la langue opère un ancrage social et familial. La langue du pays d’où viennent les parents apparaît comme ‘langue d’origine’ ayant une fonction d’‘affiliation’, permettant de créer et donc de maintenir le lien à une origine familiale. En tissant les liens filiatifs dans un mouvement qui les recrée sans cesse, le rapport à la ‘langue d’origine’ inscrit dans la lignée, attitre une place dans l’ordre des généalogies et permet une ouverture vers d’autres affiliations possibles. Le rapport à la langue surgit ainsi comme une fonction qui constitue du ‘familial’ en terme de continuité et fonde une origine extérieure au sujet mais centrale dans sa construction identitaire et son sentiment d’appartenance. / This dissertation focuses on the relations between the subject and languages and in particular in the given socio-cultural context marked by a cultural and linguistic plurality. It explores the link between the subject and language(s) and more precisely, the way languages border on identity construction. We try to clarify the notion of a language, its appropriation, share and transmission from the psychological point of view and its functions such as family heritage from the cultural point of view. This thesis apprehends the subject in its singularity according to the method of clinical analysis of research interviews taking the narrow link between the and the culture for its starting point and is based mainly on the theory of psychoanalysis. The analysis of interviews shows that in the words of the studied subjects the link with the language has an effect on social and family anchoring. The language of the country, that the parents come from, appears as the ‘origin language’ having ‘affiliation’ as its function and enabling to create and maintain the link with the family origins. By establishing the kinship links in a movement that recreates them endlessly, the connection with ‘the origin language’ that is a part of genealogy line, assigns a place in the genealogy order and enables the openness to some other possible affiliations. Thus, the link with the language appears as a function that constitutes ‘family’ in terms of continuity and forms an external origin for the subject, but central for the identity construction and feeling of belonging.
