Avaliação da influência da infraestrutura de transporte nas mudanças de uso e cobertura da terra através de modelagem dinâmica espacial. / Evaluation of influence of transport infrastructure on land use change and coverage through dynamic spatial modeling.

Henrique Alessandro de Almeida Ramos 29 September 2017 (has links)
A dinâmica das paisagens e as consequentes alterações no uso e cobertura da terra podem ser analisadas a partir de modelagens espaciais, que auxiliam na interpretação das variáveis responsáveis pelas alterações na paisagem, bem como viabilizam a criação de cenários distintos visando ao conhecimento do impacto produzido pela inserção ou supressão de variáveis na simulação de mudanças da paisagem. Em Guarulhos, a instalação de grandes rodovias conectando o município de São Paulo ao Vale do Paraíba e, posteriormente, de um terminal aeroportuário, em consonância com diferentes períodos de crescimento econômico e expansão urbana, impactaram fortemente na formação da paisagem encontrada neste município, principalmente com a instalação dos grandes pátios industriais e bairros residenciais de média e baixa renda. Com isso, a presente pesquisa buscou avaliar as mudanças no uso e cobertura da terra a partir de produtos de sensoriamento remoto para identificar a influência advinda da instalação dos grandes pontos de conexão do município, por meio de modelagem com autômatos celulares (cellular automata - CA). Dentre os principais resultados obtidos está a influência positiva nas transições para a classe residencial regular exercida pela instalação do aeroporto no primeiro período de análise (1986 a 1993), e a repelência a essa transição nos anos seguintes. Resultados similares foram obtidos na avaliação da influência das grandes vias de acesso na implantação dos parques industriais e galpões logísticos. A modelagem dinâmica, por meio do software Dinamica-EGO, mostrou-se uma ferramenta bastante versátil para avaliação da influência das variáveis espaciais na dinâmica das paisagens urbanas. / The dynamics of landscapes and the consequent changes in land use and land cover can be analyzed according to spatial models, which helps the interpretation of the variables responsible for territorial changes, as well as enables the creation of distinct scenarios in order to know the impact produced by the insertion or suppression of variables in the simulation of landscape changes. In the municipal area of Guarulhos, the installation of large highways linking the municipality of São Paulo to the Paraíba Valley and an airport terminal afterwards, in accordance with different periods of economic growth and urban expansion, had a strong impact on the landscape found in this municipality, mostly because of the installation of large industrial yards and residential neighborhoods of medium and low income. Hence, this research aimed to evaluate the changes in land use and land cover according to remote sensing products, and it also aimed to try to identify the influence of the installation of big connection points of the municipality through modeling with cellular automata (CA). Among the main results obtained are the positive influence on the transitions to the regular residential class exercised by the airport installation in the first period of analysis (1986 to 1993), and the repellency of this transition in the following years. A similar result was obtained in the evaluation of the influence of the great access roads in the implantation of industrial parks and logistic sheds. Thus, the dynamic modeling through the Dynamica-EGO software proved to be a very versatile tool to evaluate the influence of spatial variables on the dynamics of urban landscapes.

Nos contornos do Eu: um estudo sobre a religiosidade nas neuroses e psicoses / On the contours of the Ego: a study of religiosity in the neurosis and psychosis

Caroline Gonzaga Torres 09 May 2013 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Tem-se, nesta dissertaÃÃo, o propÃsito de discutir se hÃ, do ponto de vista da estruturaÃÃo do Eu nos sujeitos, elementos pelos quais se possa discernir o que respalda a maneira como os neurÃticos e psicÃticos demarcam um posicionamento distinto frente Ãs experiÃncias de religiosidade, estabelecendo relacionamentos diferentes com a divindade. Para tanto, metodologicamente, empreende-se um estudo bibliogrÃfico fundamentado na obra de Freud e no primeiro ensino de Lacan em suas produÃÃes referentes à religiÃo, constituiÃÃo do Eu, neurose e psicose, alÃm da discussÃo de dois casos clÃnicos freudianos: Schreber e o Homem dos Ratos. Sendo assim, realizam-se articulaÃÃes entre a religiÃo e o complexo paterno em psicanÃlise, abordando os elementos traumÃticos presentes na origem das religiÃes monoteÃstas e a maneira pela qual eles se atualizam nos sujeitos, alÃm de estabelecerem-se aproximaÃÃes entre as formaÃÃes religiosas, as produÃÃes delirantes e a fantasia. Efetua-se um recorte sobre o modo de estruturaÃÃo do Eu, nas neuroses e nas psicoses, salientando o conceito de narcisismo para o estabelecimento das dimensÃes imaginÃrias e simbÃlicas que participam desse processo, bem como para as modificaÃÃes teÃricas subsequentes. Por fim, faz-se uma investigaÃÃo sobre o modo pelo qual o Eu se constitui nas neuroses e psicoses, os mecanismos peculiares a cada uma destas estruturas e a presenÃa do discurso religioso, assim como das figuras divinas, atravÃs da anÃlise dos casos clÃnicos. Dentre os principais achados da pesquisa destaca-se: a) a inteligibilidade nas formulaÃÃes freudianas sobre a religiÃo, situando-a ora ao lado das neuroses, ora ao lado das psicoses, fornecendo a ela uma dupla lÃgica; b) as peculiaridades na constituiÃÃo do Eu, isto Ã, a fixaÃÃo do paranoico no estÃdio do espelho e o atravessamento do Ãdipo no obsessivo, bem como seus posicionamentos distintos frente ao Outro e o conflito das instÃncias psÃquicas nestas estruturas, implicam na maneira pela qual as experiÃncias de religiosidade e as divindades aparecem nos sintomas e nas formaÃÃes elementares; c) a noÃÃo de crenÃa estrutural na neurose e a dimensÃo de certeza na psicose permitem a percepÃÃo das diferenÃas no modo como estes indivÃduos compreendem as figuras divinas, que aparecerem constantemente associadas à figura paterna nas teorizaÃÃes psicanalÃticas / There is, in this dissertation, the purpose of discussing whether there is, from the point of view of the Ego structure in subjects, elements by which to discern what supports the way neurotics and psychotics demarcate distinct positioning in the face of religious experiences, establishing different relationships with divinity. Therefore, methodologically, to undertake a bibliographical study based on the work of Freud and Lacan, in the first teaching, in their productions concerning religion, constitution of Ego, neurosis and psychosis, beyond a discussion of two Freudian cases: Schreber and the Rats Man. So, take place joints between religion and father complex in psychoanalysis, addressing the elements present in the traumatic origin of monotheistic religions and the way they are updated in the subject, and set up approaches between religious formations, production delusional and fantasy. Makes up a theoretical framework on the mode ego structure, on the neuroses and psychoses, in stressing the concept of narcissism to establish the imaginary and symbolic dimensions that participate in this process as well as for the subsequent theoretical modifications. Finally, it is an investigation regarding the way in which the Ego is constituted in neuroses and psychoses, mechanisms peculiar to each of these structures and the presence of religious speech as well as of divine figures, by analysis of clinical cases. Among the main findings of the research highlight: a) intelligibility in Freudian formulations about religion, placing it sometimes beside the neuroses, sometimes beside the psychoses, giving her a double logic; b) the peculiarities in the constitution of the Ego, this is, fixing the paranoid in the mirror stage and the crossing of the obsessive at Oedipus, as well as their distinct attitudes towards Other and conflicts of these psychic structures instances, result a way in which the experiences of religion and deities appear in symptoms and elementary formations; c) the structural belief notion in neurosis and the dimension of certainty in psychosis allow in the perception of differences in the way these individuals understand the divine figures, which appear consistently associated with paternal figure in psychoanalytic theorizing

The matter of the self in Max Stirner / A questÃo do indivÃduo em Max Stirner

Sandro Soares Rodrigues 11 September 2015 (has links)
FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / The objective of this study is about the individual within Max Stirner from the immanent reading of his main work The Ego and Its Own (1844). The theme involving the individual is central in Stirner's work, yet so little is known and studied. Stating in an objective way, the individual for Stirner possesses an unconditional, entirely free existence, occupying a central spot, singular, unique in the world. In other words, the individual is in a Stirnerian sphere in which nothing is before or after him, where no power is imposed, no conditioning restricts him, he is free from any constraints, obligations or duties. The novelty presented by Stirner consists, apart from a defense of the individual, especially a defense of his individuality. For Stirner, the constitutive character of individuality is not social, but natural, whereas since the first contact with the world, the individual struggles to affirm himself, to the point where he becomes aware of himself as a purely selfish existence. Stirner intends to create conditions for each individual to rebel against all entities that try to suppress the power and the individual strength. Our philosopher will make use of terms like Ego or Its-own to designate this example of irreducible individuality, unrepeatable and owner of himself and the world. As Stirner's thinking was forgotten for a long time, or misrepresented by most of his critics, we chose to perform an immanent reading of the featured work without, however, discard those contributions who preceded us in the subject of this study. / O objetivo desta dissertaÃÃo consiste no estudo acerca da questÃo do indivÃduo em Max Stirner a partir da leitura imanente de sua principal obra O Ãnico e sua Propriedade (1844). A temÃtica envolvendo o indivÃduo à central na obra stirneriana, contudo, pouco conhecida e estudada. De forma objetiva, o indivÃduo para Stirner goza de uma existÃncia incondicionada, inteiramente livre, ocupando um lugar central, singular, Ãnica no mundo. Em outros termos, o indivÃduo stirneriano encontra-se numa esfera na qual nada lhes à anterior ou posterior, em que nenhum poder se lhe impÃe, nenhum condicionamento o restringe, sendo livre de quaisquer constrangimentos, imposiÃÃes ou deveres. A novidade apresentada por Stirner consiste, para alÃm de uma defesa do indivÃduo, principalmente uma defesa de sua individualidade. Para ele, o carÃter constitutivo da individualidade nÃo à social, mas natural, ao passo que, desde o primeiro contato com o mundo, o indivÃduo luta para se afirmar, atà o ponto no qual toma consciÃncia de si, como existÃncia puramente egoÃsta. Stirner intenta criar condiÃÃes para que cada indivÃduo se revolte contra todas as entidades que tentam reprimir o poder e a forÃa individuais. Nosso filÃsofo farà uso dos termos Ãnico ou Eu-proprietÃrio para designar este exemplar de individualidade irredutÃvel, irrepetÃvel e proprietÃria de si e do mundo. Como o pensamento de Stirner fora esquecido por muito tempo, ou deturpado pela maioria de seus crÃticos, optamos pela realizaÃÃo de uma leitura imanente da obra em destaque sem, no entanto, descartarmos as contribuiÃÃes daqueles que nos antecederam no estudo da temÃtica em questÃo.

Para isso, foram realizados quatro estudos experimentais. Os experimentos que foram desenvolvidos nesta tese foram fatoriais completos com designs de grupos independentes (between subject) (TABACHNICK; FIDELL, 2006). Os resultados mostraram que as características diferentes dos dois focos regulatórios (PHAM; CHANG, 2010), com a manipulação do foco em promoção (busca aproveitar oportunidades) e prevenção (evita situações que tragam problemas), ajudam a entender o comportamento das decisões de consumo por impulso, quando as energias para manter o autocontrole estão esgotadas. Uma das principais contribuições desta tese é um resultado contra-intuitivo, em que os sujeitos com perfil de serem vigilantes sobre suas decisões, e que exercem maior esforço para manterem o autocontrole em uma atividade, acabam cedendo em uma decisão de consumo por impulso. Foram encontradas evidências de que as pessoas que buscam aproveitar oportunidades são mais capazes de atenuar os efeitos do esgotamento dos recursos de autocontrole, consumindo menos por impulso. Estes resultados têm uma implicação, por exemplo, para os sujeitos que estão de dieta para perda de peso, se os mesmos focarem demasiadamente em suas restrições e preocupações com os alimentos que são tentadores ao consumo, e que geralmente são prejudiciais à saúde, muito provavelmente irão consumir por impulso, porque a atividade mental de evitar o alimento acaba esgotando as energias de autocontrole para outras tentações de consumo. / This study aimed to analyze the moderating role of regulatory focus on the relationship between ego depletion and impulsive consumption. For this, four experimental studies were performed. The experiments that have been developed in this research were 2 x 2 between subject factorial designs (TABACHNICK; FIDELL 2006). The results showed that the different characteristics of the two regulatory foci (PHAM; CHANG, 2010), by manipulating the focus on promotion (that search to seize opportunities) and prevention (that avoid situations that bring problems), help to understand the behavior of consumption decisions on impulse, when the energies to maintain self-control are exhausted. A major contribution of this research is a counterintuitive result, in which the subject profile to be vigilant about their decisions, and exerting greater effort to maintain self-control in an activity, do not resist the consumer temptations on impulse. Evidence was found that people who seek to take advantage of opportunities are better able to mitigate the effects of the depletion of selfcontrol resources, consuming less on impulse. These results have an implication, for example, for individuals who are dieting to lose weight, if they focus too much on their constraints and concerns about the foods that are tempting to the consumer, and are generally harmful to health, most likely will consume on impulse, because mental activity to avoid the food ends up depleting the self-control's energies to other consumer temptations.

A Study in 3D Structure Detection Implementing Forward Camera Motion

, D.M.BAPPY, RAHMAN, MD HAMIDUR January 2012 (has links)
In this thesis we have studied detection of 3D structures having a forward camera movement which has strong influence of translation along the optical axis of the camera. During the forward movement the camera might undergoes rotation and translation .We have used “Plane plus Parallax” algorithm to cancel out this unwanted rotation. The input to the algorithm is a sequence of frames aligned with respect to a certain planar surface. The algorithm gives three types of outputs. (i) Dense correspondence across all frames. (ii) Dense 3D structure relative to the planar surface. (ii) Focus of Expansion (FOE) in all frames with respect to reference frame. Camera calibration is not needed for this algorithm. We have applied this algorithm to real world images and synthetic images. In both cases the 3D structure information could be obtained clearly even for objects far from the reference plane. Our result shows the potential of the method in 3D reconstruction implementing ego-motion of a single camera. / dm_aiub@yahoo.com 008801681006314

Dynamique identitaire et capacitaire en situation de formation : le cas des créateurs de mode. / Dynamics identity and capacities in a learning situation : the case of fashion designers.

Garcia de la Barga, Claudia 04 September 2015 (has links)
L'objectif principal de notre étude a été d'explorer la relation qui existe entre les processus créatifs et la construction identitaire. L'acte créatif est personnel, subjectif et intime. « L'action est au cœur de la subjectivité, car elle a le pouvoir de mettre en relation les intentions, les représentations, le système de valeurs et le sentiment de capacité » (Costalat-Founeau, 2008). Nos recherches s'appuient sur la base théorique de l'égo-écologie (Zavalloni & Louis-Guérin, 1984 ; Zavalloni, 2007) qui met en évidence la complexité des transactions qui concourent à la construction du sens et de manières d'être et d'agir au sein de la dynamique identitaire. Cette approche envisage l'individu de façon holistique, elle conçoit l'identité comme un environnement intérieur et centre son analyse sur les représentations sociales construites en tant que métaphores imagées de la réalité. Le sujet en tant qu'agent transactionnel et dialogique est un sujet discursif. C'est par et dans le discours que l'égo-écologie et sa méthode IMIS cherche les liens entre les éléments de l'environnement interne et ceux du monde externe en faisant émerger des mots identitaires qui agissent en tant que régulateurs ontologiques de la dynamique identitaire et de tout projet créatif. Le projet créatif prend racine et se dynamise dans la subjectivité du le sujet en privilégiant l'expression des émotions, des valeurs, des intentions, des motivations et des capacités investissant l'action d'un pouvoir réalisateur qui vise la cohérence interne et externe. Nous avons mené cette étude exploratoire de façon longitudinale en ayant pour cas des étudiants en création de mode sur trois ans. / The main purpose of our research was to explore the relation between the creative processes and the identity construction. The creative act is personal, subjective an intimate. «Action is to be found at the heart of subjectivity because it has the power of relating aspirations, representations, as well as values and the sense of ability» (Costalat-Founeau, 2008). Our research leans on the theoretical basis of ego-ecology (Zavalloni & Louis-Guérin, 1984; Zavalloni, 2007) which highlights the complexity of the exchanges contributing to the construction of sense and way of being and acting at the very core of identity dynamics. This approach sees the individual on a holistic way; it conceives identity as an internal environment and focuses on the analysis of social representations built as imaged metaphors of reality. The subject as a transactional and dialogical agent is a discursive subject. It's with and in the speech that ego-ecology and the IMIS method try to find a relation between internal and external environment elements by finding identity words that are used as ontological regulators of the identity dynamic and any creative project. The creative project starts and boosts itself in the subject's subjectivity preferring the expression of emotions, values, aspirations, motivations and abilities that take part of a productive power focused on internal and external coherence. We made this exploratory study on a longitudinal way using as subjects fashion design students during three years.

Tres nudos existenciales en La mujer loca de Juan José Millás : un pacto ambiguo de lectura sobre la identidad, la muerte y el lenguaje / Tre existentiella frågor i Den galna kvinnan av Juan José Millás : en tvetydig pakt kring identiteten, döden och språket

Karlsson, Lucero Ivette January 2017 (has links)
La mujer loca, eller Den galna kvinnan [min översättning] är en roman publicerad 2014 av den spanske författare och journalisten Juan José Millás. I denna studie visar jag att denna roman är en autofiktion eftersom författaren, berättaren och karaktären har samma efternamn. Den autofiktivaromanen skapar en tvetydig pakt, vilket innebär att författaren lämnar tolkningsföreträde angående berättelsens sannolikhet åt läsaren. Genom mitt analysarbete drar jag slutsatsen att i romanen La mujer loca handlar den tvetydiga pakten om att ta ställning eller, åtminstone reflektera, över tre existentiella frågor som skildras tydligt i denna roman och som samtidigt är återkommande i Millás verk, dessa är: identiteten, språket och döden.

Die ontwikkeling en evaluasie van 'n sensitiseringshulpmiddel vir opvoeders in gesonde persoonlikheidsfunksionering (Afrikaans)

Nel, Renche 03 January 2007 (has links)
AFRIKAANS: Die doel van hierdie studie was om 'n sensitiseringshulpmiddel oor gesonde persoonlikheidsfunksionering te ontwikkel. Dit kan dien as 'n hulpmiddel vir opvoeders wat dit kan aanwend as deel van hul opvoedkundige kennis. Die vaardighede wat hierdie hulpmiddel onderskryf, is daarop gerig om gesonde persoonlikheidsfunksionering te bevorder. Die denkraamwerk van waaruit die navorsers gewerk het, was idealisties interpreterend met realisasie in die sisteemteorie. Die keuse van die denkraamwerk was gebaseer op die feit dat persoonlikheidsfunksionering oor die algemeen as multi-dimensioneel beskou word, asook dat persone voortdurend in interaksie is met ander persone. Mense funksioneer ook in veranderlike situasies en kontekste. Twee persoonlikheidskonstrukte naamlik Lokus van Kontrole en Egosterkte is akademies ontleed en die resultate hiervan is geïntegreer. Alhoewel die keuse van die twee konstrukte arbitrêr was, was dit geregverdig op grond van praktykondervinding, uitgesproke behoeftes van ander opvoeders en die klem wat tans akademies op die twee konstrukte geplaas word. Die totale studie soos uiteengesit in twee volumes (Deel I en Deel II) soos onderskeidelik gefinaliseer deur die navorsers, 1. De Beer en R. Nel, was deurlopend gerig deur drie vlakke van data-ontleding. Op die eerste-orde-ontledingsvlak is die bestaande literatuur oor die twee konstrukte geëkstrapoleer. Die inligting is geïntegreer en 'n konsephulpmiddel is hieruit ontwikkel. Hierdie ontwikkeling het plaasgevind deur patroonkategorieë te skep met behulp van tweede-orde-ontleding. Die konsephulpmiddel het bestaan uit 'n gestruktureerde deel (vyf-puntskaal) en 'n semi-gestruktureerde deel (bydraes wat respondente spontaan moes genereer). Die konsephulpmiddel is aangebied aan 'n geselekteerde steekproef van 32 opvoeders naamlik ouers, onderwysers en sielkundiges. Die opvoeders het die hulpmiddel geëvalueer en ook hulle eie idees weergegee. Inligting wat hieruit verkry is, is in fokusgroepsessies bespreek en verfyn. Die data wat hieruit verkry is, is kwalitatief ontleed, statisties verwerk, geïntegreer en as 'n konsephulpmiddel ontwikkel. Die konsephulpmiddel is deur opvoeders in die praktyk geëvalueer. Die finale hulpmiddel is in gebruikersvriendelike taal en vorm saamgestel. Hierna is die hulpmiddel teruggekoppel na die oorspronklike konstrukte waaruit dit ontwikkel is. Laastens is die studie en die hulpmiddel konseptueel in terme van die huidige stand van die sielkunde, asook binne die groter konteks van Suid-Afrika bespreek. Verskeie aanbevelings vir verdere navorsing is gemaak, soos byvoorbeeld om 'n werkboek saam te stel wat voorsiening maak vir die meting van die doeltreffendheid van die hulpmiddel, asook om die hulpmiddel vir groepe met unieke behoeftes toepasbaar te maak. ENGLISH: The aim of this study was to develop a sensitisation aid for healthy personality functioning. It can be used as an aid by educators who can utilize it as part of their educational knowledge. The skills that this aid underwrites are aimed at promoting healthy personality functioning. The frame of reference used by the researchers was idealistic interpretation with realisation in the systems approach. The choice of the reference framework was based on the fact that personality functioning is in general, considered to be multi-dimensional and that people are continually interacting with others. People also function in variable situations and contexts. Two personality constructs namely Locus of Control and Ego Strength were academically analysed and the results were integrated. Although the choice of constructs was arbitrary, they were justified on the grounds of experience obtained in practices, expressed needs from other educators and the emphasis currently placed on the two constructs by academics. The completed study as explained in two volumes (Part I and II) and finalized by the researchers I. De Beer and R. Nel respectively, was conducted at three levels of data analysis. In the first-order analytical level, the existing literature on the constructs was extrapolated. This information was integrated and a concept aid was developed hereafter. This development was done by the creation of pattern categories with the aid of second¬ order analysis. The concept aid consisted of a structured section (a five point scale) and a semi-structured section (inputs that had to be generated spontaneously by respondents). The concept aid was presented to a selected sample of 32 educators namely parents, teachers and psychologists. The educators evaluated the aid and also included their own ideas. The information gathered from this process was discussed and refined in focus groups. The data that was acquired was quantitatively analysed and statistically processed and re¬integrated as a concept aid. The concept aid was evaluated in practice by educators. The final aid was compiled in an user friendly language and format. Hereafter the researchers re-coupled the aid back to the original constructs from which it was derived. To conclude with, the study and the aid were discussed conceptually in terms of the current state in psychology as well as within the broader context of South Africa. Numerous recommendations for further research were made. Examples of these are the compilation of a workbook that provides for the measurement of the effectiveness of the aid and the adaptation of the aid to meet the requirements of groups with unique needs. / Thesis (D Phil (Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Psychology / unrestricted
