This study examines the contemporary American memoirs Goat (2004) by Brad Land, Prozac Diary (1998) by Lauren Slater, and The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts (1976) by Maxine Hong Kingston to reveal how these texts push traditional thematic and genre boundaries as well as conceptions of minority identity. Their inclusion of fictional aspects, episodic structure, narrative excesses, and non-teleological endings work to enhance their status as sociocultural critique and protest. This dissertation utilizes a social oppression angle within disability studies to demonstrate the overlapping processes and experiences of marginalization faced by these disparate protagonists who are dis-abled due to their undesired bodily variations and their failure to meet sociocultural standards of appropriate embodied behavior. Society is ideologically unwilling to accommodate or accept the differences the protagonists possess. Such a frame expands the artificial and culturally constructed notion of disability by illustrating the ways that discourse and ideologies of embodied normalcy intersect to constitute various minority identities as incompetent and unworthy. The texts bear witness to each protagonists’ struggle to cultivate meaningful subjectivity and reject passive victim status; however, their resulting survivor subjectivities are both resistant to and complicit with hegemonic tenets. This literary project augments ongoing work in minority, identity, autobiography, cultural, and disability studies that deconstructs essentialist paradigms while reinforcing the important cultural and literary work of contemporary memoir. Moreover, it fills a critical gap with respect to Goat and Prozac Diary, bringing these two texts into the critical discussion of autobiography. Finally, this dissertation illustrates that memoir is uniquely positioned within literary genres to navigate the interconnectedness of identity, subjectivity, and ideology, thus challenging readers to confront the injustice of a sociocultural structure that sanctions these inequities in the first place / Writing a better story : authorizing a vivid and valid self -- Lauren Slater's Prozac diary : the medical model and the suppression of the patient -- Maxine Hong Kingston's The woman warrior : the spectacular subjugation of the dually oppressed and dis-abled body -- The three memoirs : no prosthesis needed. / Writing a better story : authorizing a vivid and valid self -- Lauren Slater's Prozac diary : the medical model and the suppression of the patient -- Maxine Hong Kingston's The woman warrior : the spectacular subjugation of the dually oppressed and dis-abled body -- The three memoirs : no prosthesis needed. / Department of English

Memory conformity effects occur when witnesses report misleading suggestions they learned about from another witness. Using a new paradigm the present thesis investigated whether what subject-witnesses report about an event also implies what they personally remember or know about that event. Subjects were tested in pairs, with each member of a pair shown a different version of a video using the MORI technique. There were critical details (e.g., theft of an iPod) in each of the following conditions: visible to only one member of each subject spair, visible to both members of the pair, and not visible to either member of the pair. Pairs subsequently completed a questionnaire together to remember details from the video. Subjects then individually completed a similar questionnaire. A source monitoring and subjective experiences test revealed that co-witness discussion does not necessarily lead people to experience illusory recollections for details they did not witness themselves.

[pt] Com a motivação de contribuir para a garantia da confiabilidade metrológica de eletrocardiógrafos, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver um sistema para avaliação da conformidade de ECGs com base na norma IEC 60601-2-51 e na Recomendação R90 (1990) da OIML. Desde 1995, as normas da série IEC 60601 vêm sendo utilizadas como base para regulamentar a avaliação de equipamentos eletromédicos no País. Em 2003, a IEC publicou a norma IEC 60601-2-51 (avaliação de desempenho de eletrocardiógrafos - ECGs) sendo adotada pela ABNT em 2005, com a denominação ABNT NBR IEC 60601-2-51. O sistema desenvolvido foi estruturado em dois subsistemas: subsistema de avaliação de segurança elétrica e subsistema de avaliação de desempenho. O sistema permite avaliar eletrocardiógrafos analógicos e eletrocardiógrafos digitais sem automatização da medição, de acordo com a norma IEC 60601-2-51. Para avaliar o sistema desenvolvido foram utilizados dois ECGs digitais em uso em hospital público do Rio de Janeiro. A sua calibração, com rastreabilidade ao SI, foi realizada no Laboratório de Metrologia do Parque de Material de Eletrônica da Aeronáutica do Rio de Janeiro (PAME-RJ). Os ensaios realizados mostraram que o sistema atende aos requisitos da norma ABNT NBR IEC 60601-2-51, com limitações caracterizadas no trabalho e passíveis de solução (rejeição de modo comum, deriva com a temperatura e reticulado de tempo e amplitude). / [en] Motivated to contribute with the guarantee of metrological reliability of electrocardiographs, the present work aims at developing a system for conformity assessment of ECGs, based on the IEC 60601-2-51 standard and on the Metrological Recomendation R-90 (1990) of OIML. Since 1995, the standard series IEC 60601 have been used as base to regulate the evaluation of electromedical equipments in Brazil. The IEC 60601-2-51 standard (performance evaluation of electrocardiographs - ECGs) has been published by IEC in 2003 and incorporated by ABNT in 2005, with the denomination ABNT NBR IEC 60601-2-51. To allow the conformity analysis to the applicable standards, the proposed system was structured in two subsystems: subsystem for electric safety evaluation and subsystem for performance evaluation. The system allows to evaluate analogical and digital electrocardiographs without automated measurements, in agreement with the IEC 60601-2- 51 standard. In order to evaluate the system, it was applied on two digital ECGs in use at a public hospital of Rio de Janeiro. Its calibration, with traceability to SI, has been performed at the Metrology Laboratory of the Electronics Material Depot of the Air Force at Rio de Janeiro (PAME-RJ). The tests performed have shown that the system complies with the requirements of the IEC 60601-2-51 standard. The detected limitations, which were characterized in this work, have simple solutions, concerning the common-mode rejection ratio, temperature drift and reticulate of time and amplitude.

La clinique du travail révèle, chez le chercheur, une souffrance — liée aux rivalités, aux rapports de domination, à l’engagement subjectif nécessaire à l’exercice de l’intelligence pratique — et le déni de cette dimension subjective. Le rapport entre conformité et originalité est problématisé via le travail d’objectivation et la thèse d’une subjectivité conformée par ce travail d’objectivation. La pratique scientifique est approchée par les modèles proposés par la sociologie des sciences, eux-mêmes discutés à partir d’une étude de cas fondée sur une intervention en psychodynamique du travail dans une institution de recherche. A partir d’une double discussion, avec la sociologie des sciences et avec la psychodynamique du travail, il apparaît que les pratiques stratégiques occupent une grande part de l’activité scientifique. Elles exposent les chercheurs à une souffrance, qui les conduit à adopter des stratégies de défense objectivistes. Les incidences des dispositifs d’évaluation sur l’évolution du métier de la recherche, les modes de reconnaissance et les modalités de la créativité sont analysées en tenant compte de la question de la santé. Nous regardons pour cela le chercheur en tant que collectif, dans un collectif et dans son organisation de travail. / The clinical investigation of work concerning the activities of researchers reveals suffering linked to the rivalries, to the relationships of domination, to the subjective commitment necessary for the use of the practical intelligence; and the negation of this subjective one. The relation between conformity and originality is addressed by the work of objectification and the thesis of a subjectivity conformed by this work. The scientific practice is approached by the models of the sociology of sciences, themselves discussed from a study case based on an investigation by the method of psychodynamic of work in a scientific institution. From a double discussion, with the sociology of science and the psychodynamic of work, the strategic activity seems to be a large part of the researchers’ one. They are exposed to a suffering that leads them to adopt some objectivistic defenses. The incidences of the evaluation methods on the evolution of researcher’s activity, on the modalities of recognition and on the creativity are analyzed by considering the issue of the health. So we consider the researcher as a collective entity, in a collective unit and with his organization of work.

Cette thèse se donne pour objectif principal l’explication de l’hétérogénéité que l’on observe en matière de conformité au sein des multinationales. En particulier, je m’intéresse à ce qui pousse les filiales d’une multinationale à mettre en œuvre des pratiques conformes à la politique définie par le siège. Compte-tenu des pressions normatives croissantes exercées sur les multinationales, leur gestion de la conformité interne prend une importance stratégique. Et la responsabilité sociale d’entreprise (RSE) compte au nombre de ces normes émergentes. Mon travail repose sur des données uniques (dont des enquêtes, des données d’archive et des entretiens) sur la mise en œuvre de pratiques RSE que j’ai collectées de 2012 à 2014 au sein d’une multinationale. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats de mes trois essais démontrent que les niveaux hétérogènes de conformité que l’on observe au sein des multinationales résultent certes des différentes pressions internes et externes exercées sur leurs filiales, mais également (1) de leurs divers niveaux d’attention aux demandes normatives en fonction de la conformité de leurs pairs, (2) de leur internalisation de la politique groupe qui limite l’influence du siège et de leurs pairs et (3) des caractéristiques spécifiques et des niveaux d’institutionnalisation des diverses pratiques. / The main objective of this dissertation is to explain heterogeneity in conformity within multinational enterprises (MNEs). More specifically, I focus on what makes an MNE’s subsidiaries implement practices that are consistent with the policy designed by the MNE’s headquarters. Given the increasing normative pressures on MNEs, managing conformity within them is of strategic importance. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an example of such mounting norms. My work relies on a unique set of data (including surveys, archival data and interviews) I collected on CSR practices in one MNE between 2012 and 2014. Overall, the findings of my three essays show that heterogeneous conformity within MNEs stems not only from diverse internal and external pressures exerted on subsidiaries, but also from (1) the subsidiaries’ varying levels of attention to normative demands that depend on peers’ behaviors, (2) their heterogeneous internalization of the Group policy which reduces peers’ and headquarters’ influence and (3) the specific characteristics and institutionalization levels of different practices.

However, small business mortality rates remain high, being recorded that 29% of new businesses go out of business within the first year of activity and 56% close within five years. This study aimed to analyze the situation of micro and small enterprises in the state of Paraiba during the period from 2001 to 2005 by identifying the key factors that influence the vitality these units, their institutional arrangements and the impact of institutional changes on them. The results discussed here allow the inference that the reasons for success or failure reported by small business, the reasons for longevity or premature closure of resides with the manager. The formulation of strategies, due to their own limitations, does not occur in a fully rational manner, and their cognitive abilities, subordinate to personal values, beliefs and interests form the "gap" between their organization´s performance and isomorphic structures. The decisions of the manager outline the "organizational field" of the company and the interpretation of the environment can lead from a condition of conformity, which as response to the environment required by the organizational structure of the business achieves legitimacy, to an unfaithful attitude which may be a reactive mechanism seeking to solve conditions arising from the environment or to find shelter form them, or even the development of a sham in which the response to institutional requirements and pressures of the environment is ritualized and apparent but has at it´s heart the exploitation of inconsistent situations or conflict. / Em todo o mundo, as unidades produtivas de micro e pequeno porte são responsáveis pela maioria dos postos de trabalho e avançam a cada ano na oferta de emprego e na ocupação de novos segmentos de mercado conquistados através da terceirização e das inovações tecnológicas. Todavia, as taxas de mortalidade das MPEs permanecem altas sendo registrado que 29% das novas empresas encerram suas atividades antes de completar um ano de atividade e 56% fecham em cinco anos. O presente trabalho analisou a situação das micro e pequenas empresas do estado da Paraíba no período de 2001 a 2005 identificando os principais fatores que influenciam a vitalidade dessas unidades produtivas, seus arranjos institucionais e o impacto de mudanças institucionais sobre as mesmas. Os resultados aqui discutidos permitiram inferir que dos motivos de sucesso e fracasso relatados pelas MPEs, as explicações para a longevidade ou para o encerramento prematuro das MPEs residem no empresário. A formulação das suas estratégias que, devido as suas próprias limitações, não ocorre de maneira plenamente racional e sua capacidade cognitiva, submissa ao seu conjunto de valores, crenças e interesses, constituem o diferencial entre as organizações no que concerne aos seus resultados, mesmo que possuam estruturas isomórficas. As decisões do empresário delineiam o campo organizacional da empresa e a interpretação do ambiente poderá a uma condição de conformidade, na qual estará respondendo ao ambiente consoante as exigências desse e da estrutura organizacional da sua empresa obtendo, portanto, legitimidade; a uma condição de infidelidade através da qual sua atitude poderá ser reacionária onde buscará mecanismos para anular as ações decorrentes do ambiente ou delas se abrigar; ou ainda desenvolver uma impostura onde a resposta aos requisitos institucionais e às pressões do ambiente é ritualizada e aparente, mas tem como cerne a exploração de situações conflitantes e inconsistentes.

Introdução: A definição do volume-alvo macroscópico, principalmente referente a casos de câncer de pulmão, exige o maior número de informações possíveis no que diz respeito à localização, extensão e mobilidade tumoral. A literatura demonstra um importante avanço quando utilizada imagens metabólicas como é o caso da tomografia por emissão de pósitron/tomografia computadorizada (PET/CT), porém a sua aplicação nos planejamentos radioterápicos ainda é muito discutida devido ao seu grau de complexidade. Objetivos: Avaliar o impacto da PET/CT no delineamento tumoral em casos de câncer de pulmão não-pequenas células (CPNPC) e linfonodos regionais. Materiais e Métodos: Foram selecionados retrospectivamente estudos de PET/CT de 26 casos de câncer de pulmão. Todos foram confirmados por biópsia, sendo em sua totalidade CPNPC. Todos os estudos foram realizados em um equipamento de PET/CT dedicado com parâmetros de aquisição idênticos. A interpretação das imagens e posterior delineamento foram realizados por dois médicos experientes, um radioterapeuta e um nuclear/radiologista. Os parâmetros ótimos de visualização foram pré-definidos, sendo mandatórios para os delineamentos. Os delineamentos foram realizados em duas etapas principais. A primeira relacionada ao desenho tumoral somente pela CT e a segunda, após no mínimo duas semanas de descanso visual, referindo-se ao desenho tumoral pela PET/CT. Somente o volume tumoral macroscópico (GTV) e os linfonodos regionais aumentados ou PET positivos foram delineados. Índices de conformidades (IC) foram calculados, tanto interobservadores (11 casos), quanto intra-observador (26 casos). Para a comparação entre observadores e entre delineamentos em relação ao volume, foi considerado o teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon. As comparações em relação ao IC foram feitas usando-se o teste t de Student para amostras pareadas. Em todos os testes, valores de p <0,05 indicaram significância estatística. Os dados foram analisados com o programa computacional SPSS® Statistics 17.0 (EUA). Resultados: A análise dos dados demonstrou diferença significativa entre os volumes médios delineados na CT e na PET/CT (p = 0,02), com evidente redução volumétrica no delineamnto por PET/CT. Houve diferença significativa entre os volumes CT delineados pelos dois observadores (p = 0,03) e uma tendência a apresentar diferença significativa entre volumes PET/CT (p = 0,05). A avaliação volumétrica intraobservador foi significativa (p < 0,01) apenas para o médico nuclear/radiologista, com redução de até 51% do volume CT e uma relação entre modalidades de 2,11 ± 0,22. Na análise dos IC, não houveram diferenças significativas entre as duas modalidades de imagem (p = 0,598). A análise dos IC intra-observadores demonstrou que para o radioterapeuta a PET/CT apresenta um impacto de 46% (IC médio = 0,54 ± 0,06), já para o nuclear/radiologista, o impacto foi de 65% (IC médio = 0,35 ± 0,06), representando uma diferença significativa (p = 0,03) em relação ao IC entre o médicos observadores. Para a análise linfonodal a PET/CT apresentou importante diferença na visualização de linfonodos, alterando 10 dos 26 casos, sendo 9 para a positividade apenas na fusão. Conclusão: A PET/CT apresentou significativo impacto no desenho do GTV e linfonodos regionais para casos de CPNPC. / Introduction: The definition of gross target volume, especially concerning cases of lung cancer, requires the greatest amount of information possible with regard to location, tumor size and tumor mobility. The literature demonstrates an important advancement using metabolic images such as PET/CT, however, its application in radiotherapy planning is still controversial due to its complexity. Objectives: To assess the impact of PET/CT in tumor delineation in cases of non-small cell lung cancer and regional lymph nodes as additional findings. Materials and Methods: Retrospectively studies of PET/CT of 26 lung cancer cases were selected. All were confirmed by biopsy, in its entirety NSCLC. All studies were performed on a PET/CT with dedicated acquisition identical parameters. Image interpretation and subsequent delineation were performed by two experienced physicians, one radiotherapist and the another nuclear/radiologist. The optimal parameters display were pre-defined, being mandatory for the designs. Each case received an identification of three random letters to access the medical images to be analyzed. The delineation was made in two main steps. The first reference to the drawing only in tumor CT and the second, after two weeks of visual rest, referring to the drawing on tumor PET/CT. Only the gross tumor volume (GTV) and regional lymph nodes were enlarged or PET + outlined. Conformity index (CI) were calculated both interobserver (11 cases), and intra-observer (26 cases). For comparison between observers and between designs in relation to the volume, was considered the nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Comparisons regarding the conformity index were made using the Student t test for paired samples. To assess the degree of agreement regarding positive lymph nodes were estimated with kappa coefficients of agreement. In all tests, p values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Data were analyzed with the software SPSS Statistics 17.0 (USA). Results: Data analysis showed significant difference between the average volumes delineated on CT and PET/CT (p = 0.02), with obvious volume reduction. Significant difference between the volumes delineated by CT observars medical distinct classes (p = 0.03) and a tendency to present significant difference between volumes PET / CT (p = 0.05). The intraobserver volumetric evaluation was significant (p <0.001) only for observer 2, being the nuclear medicine physician / radiologist, reducing up to 51% of the volume CT and a relationship between methods of 2.11 ± 0.22. In the analysis of CI, there were no significant differences between the two imaging modalities (p = 0.598).CI analysis showed that intra-observer to observer 1 PET / CT has an impact of 46% (average CI = 0.54 ± 0.06). The viewer 2, the impact was greater, 46% (average IC = 0.39 ± 0.03), representing a difference of opinion regarding the CI (p = 0.03) between the medical classes. To regional lymph nodes with PET/CT revealed an important difference in the visualization of lymph nodes, changing 10 of the 26 cases, 9 to positivity only in the image fusion.Conclusion: PET/CT has a significant impact on the design of the GTV and regional lymph nodes in cases of NSCLC.
