Title: Affective mood states of the patient in physiotherapy care Objectives: The aim of the theoretical part is to summarise the available findings about the chosen physiotherapeutical procedures, the psychosomatic attitude to the patients, the emotional states, the affective mood states and the possibilities how to influence them. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate the affective mood states of the patients before and after the physiotherapy care. Methods: The research involves twenty-five patients who underwent physiotherapeutical care in the centres specialised in holistic treatment. Their state was observed with the help of the POMS Questionnaire. The patients filled in the forms before and after the physiotherapeutical intervention with the psychosomatic attitude. The non-parametric version of the Wilcoxon's test was used for the evaluation of the differences of the dependent selected groups. Results: The results have proved all of the three hypotheses. After the physiotherapeutical intervention the current psychical state changed, the decrease of the tension, depression, anger, fatigue and confussion was significant. The vitality was increased significantly. Keywords: Emotional states, physiotherapy, psychosomatic attitude, POMS

O nascimento prematuro é um problema de saúde pública, cujas consequências incidem tanto sobre as condições de sobrevivência do neonato, quanto sobre as reações emocionais dos pais. A separação precoce entre a mãe o bebê, as limitações impostas pelo ambiente tecnológico de uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal para interação dos pais com o recém-nascido e o sofrimento psicológico vivido pelo casal parental podem repercutir na relação da tríade pai-mãe-bebê. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar o conjunto das reações emocionais apresentadas pelos pais de bebês pré-termo de muito baixo peso e as relações entre essas reações e o processo de transição para a parentalidade. Nesta pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, os participantes foram 4 mães e 4 pais de bebês prematuros internados no Hospital Universitário da USP. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevista semi-estruturada e analisados através da análise de conteúdo. As coordenadas teóricas que sustentaram a análise foram as da teoria psicanalítica de Winnicott, junto a contribuições de outros autores, cuja elaboração teórica foi considerada relevante para a discussão do tema. Foram identificadas reações emocionais ligadas à interrupção precoce da gravidez, ao relacionamento com a criança, à relação do casal parental e à relação com a equipe de saúde. Sensações de medo, apreensão, estranhamento, sentimentos de incompletude, irrealidade e impotência, necessidade de apoio, percepção de transformação pessoal e dos vínculos conjugais compuseram as singulares reações emocionais de cada casal parental. Algumas dessas reações mostraram-se favorecedoras e outras dificultadoras do processo de transição à parentalidade. Nesse estudo, as dificuldades vividas pelos pais não se apresentaram, a priori, como um impedimento para a construção de um vínculo seguro e saudável com os seus filhos. Mas tais dificuldades evidenciam a necessidade, apontada em outros trabalhos, de que os pais recebam atenção especializada do profissional da saúde mental, assim como, assistência integral da equipe de saúde tanto na internação, quanto no período da gravidez e após a alta hospitalar / The birth of a premature infant is a public health problem, whose consequences affect the living conditions of the newborn and parents emotional reactions. The early separation between mother and baby, the limitations established by technological environment of a neonatal intensive care unit for parents-child relation and parental couples psychological distress may affect the relationship of triad father-mother-infant. The goal of this study was investigate the emotional reactions set presented by very low birthweight infants parents and relationship between these reactions and transition to parenthood. This study used qualitative research and the subjects were 4 mothers and 4 fathers of very low birthweight infants admitted at University Hospital of USP. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed through content analysis. The theoretical coordinates that supported analysis were the Winnicotts theories add contributions from other authors, whose theoretical elaborations were considered relevant for discussion. Were identified emotional reactions linked to early interruption of pregnancy, to relationships with child, with health team and parental couples relationship. Fear, apprehension, estrangement, feelings of incompleteness, unreality and helplessness, need support, personal transformation and marital bonds composed the singular emotional reactions of each parental couple. Some of these reactions proved to be favoring and other cause difficulties of transition to parenthood. In This study, the difficulties experienced by parents were not a obstacle to building a secure and healthy bond with their children. But, these difficulties highlight the need for parents to receive specialized care of mental health professionals, as well as, comprehensive care of the health team during hospitalization, pregnancy and after discharge

O objetivo geral do presente trabalho foi avaliar como crianças julgam a sensação gustativa e o estado de ânimo provocado pela associação de sabor e música diante de contextos de estímulos congruentes e contrastantes. Estímulos congruentes são aqueles que possuem a mesma valência afetiva entre si. Contrastantes, no entanto, divergem afetivamente entre si. Os participantes eram 83 crianças de 5 a 10 anos de idade, e de ambos os sexos, representando uma amostra da população de nível social médio-baixo. A tarefa dos participantes consistia em experimentar o sabor de soluções supralimiares de sacarose e de cafeína na ausência de música, identificá-lo como doce ou amargo e julgar a sensação gustativa conseqüente classificando-a como gostoso ou não-gostoso mediante a escolha de uma face esquemática indicativa de uma emoção inicial. Após essa situação, a criança realizava a segunda parte da tarefa. Na presença de músicas populares e pré-qualificadas como alegres e tristes, identificava a emoção expressa por cada música e realizava o julgamento gustativo na situação musical. Resultados indicam que as crianças, dessa amostra, souberam discriminar e reconhecer os sabores de doce e de amargo das soluções, e foram também capazes de julgar a sensação e a conseqüente emoção. Deste estudo, conclui-se que o julgamento das crianças sobre os sabores doce e amargo e a emoção pode se alterar após a execução de músicas. Essa mudança acontece quando o sabor é amargo e as músicas são alegres, caso em que a emoção se altera de triste para alegre e quando o sabor é doce e as músicas tristes, a emoção passa de alegre para triste. O estudo demonstrou que a realização de provas sensoriais com crianças pode alcançar bons resultados, na medida em que elas possam ser consideradas como colaboradoras dos detalhes do arranjo experimental. Sugere-se ainda que a variação na escolha do estímulo causador da sensação gustativa e da emoção dependa, dentre outros fatores, do desenvolvimento da sensibilidade gustativa e auditiva característica de uma faixa etária, da maneira como recursos atencionais, mnemônicos e afetivos são utilizados, dos diferentes contextos em que os estímulos sensoriais estão envolvidos, e, das melhoras com a integração sensorial aos 7 anos de idade especificamente na situação de estímulos congruentes. / The aim of the present study was to assess the children’s judgement on the gustatory pleasantness and mood generated by associating the taste and music in congruent and contrast stimulus context. Congruent stimuli had the same affective valence while the contrast stimuli had a divergent affective valence. Eighty three children, males and females, age five to ten were assessed. The participants represented a sample of middle-low social class. The participant were asked to taste the suprathreshold solutions of sucrose and the caffeine in the absence of music, to identify it as sweet or bitter and to make a judgement of the gustatory sensation in terms of pleasing or displeasing by choosing a schematic face representative of the initial mood state. In the second stage of the task, the participants listened to popular music pre-qualified as happy and sad. Initially they were asked to judge the mood transmitted by the music and then while listening to the music went again through the gustative judgement task. The results show that children in this study sample recognized and distinguished the sweet from bitter tastes and were able to judge the gustative pleasantness sensation and the consequent mood. This study also shows that children’s judgement on sweet and bitter taste as well as mood can be changed by the music execution. This change occurred in the presence of a bitter taste and happy music altering the mood judgment from sad to happy. In presence of the sweet taste and sad music the mood was altered from happy to sad. The study showed that the use of sensory tests with children can generate good results and they might be considered a contribution collaborator of details in the experimental arrangements. It is also proposed that the variation in the judgement on the gustative pleasantness sensation and mood is contingent on, among others factors, the development of the gustative and auditory sensitivity along the age groups, the way attention, memory and affective skills are used, the different sensory stimulus context and the improvement of sensory integration at the age of 7, specifically in the case of congruent stimulus.

This thesis presents the work of incorporating facial animation with emotions into a neural text-to-speech pipeline. The project aims to allow for a digital human to utter sentences given only text, removing the need for video input. Our solution consists of a neural network able to generate blend shape weights from speech which is placed in a neural text-to-speech pipeline. We build on ideas from previous work and implement a recurrent neural network using four LSTM layers and later extend this implementation by incorporating emotions. The emotions are learned by the network itself via the emotion layer and used at inference to produce the desired emotion. While using LSTMs for speech-driven facial animation is not a new idea, it has not yet been combined with the idea of using emotional states that are learned by the network itself. Previous approaches are either only two-dimensional, of complicated design or require manual laboring of the emotional states. Thus, we implement a network of simple design, taking advantage of the sequence processing ability of LSTMs and combines it with the idea of emotional states. We trained several variations of the network on data captured using a head mounted camera, and the results of the best performing model were used in a subjective evaluation. During the evaluation the participants were presented several videos and asked to rate the naturalness of the face uttering the sentence. The results showed that the naturalness of the face greatly depends on which emotion vector was used, as some vectors limited the mobility of the face. However, our best achieving emotion vector was rated at the same level of naturalness as the ground truth, proving our method successful. The purpose of the thesis was fulfilled as our implementation demonstrates one possibility of incorporating facial animation into a text-to-speech pipeline.

This review is an exploration of evolutionary theories with the aim to investigate emotional states, well-being and ill-being from an evolutionary perspective. Functional evolutionary theories of emotional states, posit that emotions have evolved as behavior modifiers responding to specific situations that provided fitness benefits in our ancestral past. Exploring this theory gradually uncover clues towards practical, hands-on suggestions as to how to increase life satisfaction and quality of life. Specifically, these suggestions include interacting with kin, reaping stress-reducing and health effects from letting nature be a part of your life, developing deep friendships, and not comparing yourself with the best or most successful individuals in the world.

This study investigates how a choreographer, through the abstract language of contemporary dance, generates emotional states/nuances which can be recognised but at the same time allow for ambiguity in the reading of the work. This investigation was addressed through a series of performance projects, culminating in the final dance work Inhabited Space. The setting for the work, triggered by Bachelard's The Poetics of Space, became the imagined spaces of a domestic urban environment, specifically the lounge and bedroom. In order to create a work reflecting emotional states and nuances, a range of choreographic processes were explored to inform the construction of movement vocabulary, framed by performer/space/object relationships. This studio-based study with performative outcomes was supported by a hybrid methodological approach of predominantly practice-led research, incorporating aspects of action research and phenomenology. Findings and understandings emerged from reflective practice in the exegesis but were primarily embedded within the creative work itself.

Devido a uma grande preocupação com relação ao sedentarismo, obesidade e os riscos que estes processos causam à saúde das pessoas, associada ao grande número de usuários de jogos virtuais, os benefícios dos jogos conhecidos como exergames (EXGs) vêm sendo discutidos com maior frequência. Participaram do estudo 18 voluntários de ambos os gêneros, com idade média de 22 anos (±1). Os instrumentos utilizados para coleta de dados foram o IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) – Versão Curta, a fim de mensurar o nível de atividade física de cada uma das participantes. Foi utilizado o POMS (Profile Of Mood States), aplicado antes e depois de cada sessão de intervenção de 40 minutos com EXGs. Outros instrumentos utilizado foram a Escala de Percepção Subjetiva de Esforço baseada na escala de 0 a 10 proposta por Borg et al. (1982) e o Inventário de Motivação, Jogos Virtuais e Prática de Atividades Físicas / Esportes, composto de 108 questões, divididas em duas seções, Videogame e Atividades Físicas / Esportes. Ao final do período de 4 semanas, foi realizada uma entrevista, pautada no Roteiro de Entrevista, a fim de colher dados sobre os aspectos motivacionais, atividade física e jogos virtuais. Para a prática dos EXGs foi utilizada uma Tv LED Samsung 40” (modelo 5300 series 5), um Microsoft Xbox360® com Kinect® e jogos relacionados a esportes e atividades físicas. A partir dos dados encontrados e os relatos das participantes, corroborados pela recente literatura, notou-se que as TDICs e os ambientes imersivos de realidade virtual estão fortemente presentes no cotidiano das jovens participantes do presente estudo. Com os resultados do presente estudo pode-se perceber que os EXGs funcionam como fator motivacional para a prática de atividades físicas. Os relatos dos participantes, bem como os dados coletados referentes aos seus estados emocionais durante as sessões de intervenção (POMS e Inventário de Motivação, Jogos Virtuais e Prática de Atividades Físicas / Esportes), puderam contribuir para a comprovação da hipótese inicial de que os EXGs contribuem para que seus praticantes se motivem a realizar as atividades fora do ambiente virtual. / The contemporary context has increasingly demanded that the various spheres of human life to acclimate to the new technologies of information and communication. Due to concern with respect to physical inactivity, obesity and the risks that these processes cause to human health associated with the large number of virtual game users, the benefits of games known as exergames (EXGs) have been discussed more often. The study included 18 volunteers of both genders, with a mean age of 22 (± 1). The instruments used for data collection were the IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) - Short Version, in order to measure the physical activity level of each of the participants. Was used POMS (Profile of Mood States) applied before and after each 40 minute session with intervention EXGs. Other instruments used were the Effort Subjective Perception Scale based on the scale 0- 10 proposed by Borg et al. (1982) and the Inventory of Motivation, Virtual Games and Practice of Physical Activities / Sports, composed of 108 questions divided into two sections, Videogame and Physical / Sports Activities. At the end of 4 weeks, an interview was conducted, based on the map interview in order to collect data on the motivational aspects, physical activity and virtual games. For the practice of EXGs we used a Samsung LED TV 40 "(5300 series 5 model), a Microsoft Xbox360® with Kinect® and games related to sports and physical activities. From the data found and the reports of the participants, supported by recent literature, it was noted that the TDICs and virtual reality immersive environments are strongly present in the daily lives of the young participants of this study. With the results of this study can be seen that the EXGs work as a motivational factor for physical activity. The reports of the participants, as well as the data collected pertaining to their emotional states during the intervention sessions (POMS and Inventory Motivation, Virtual Games and Practice of Physical Activities / Sports), could contribute to the confirmation of the initial hypothesis that the EXGs contribute to its practitioners be motivated to carry out activities outside the virtual environment.

Porém, é nítido que as discussões em torno destas práticas podem ser ricas no sentido do desenvolvimento humano e suas relações. Sabemos que a coletividade, a imprevisibilidade a competição e cooperação são elementos que estimulam estados emocionais diversos, fazendo com que possamos para trabalhar o aprendizado emocional, de maneira eficaz. Este trabalho culmina com o que pensamos sobre a EF, uma disciplina multidisciplinar, que tem o dever de oferecer ambientes pedagógicos favoráveis para que nossos alunos experimentem e vivenciem estados emocionais e seus conflitos, oportunizando o desenvolvimento destas habilidades sociais de maneira realmente eficiente. O presente trabalho buscou entender como os alunos reagem socialmente e emocionalmente nos diferentes momentos de sua rotina escolar e como os estados emocionais são acionados nas aulas de EF durante a prática de jogos, ginástica, dança e jogos digitais. Não obstante, entender como eles conseguem identificar reações emocionais em seus pares. A opção metodológica foi a pesquisa-ação e foi realizada em estreita relação entre teoria e prática, onde participantes e pesquisadores, representantes da situação ou do problema, estão envolvidos de maneira cooperativa e/ou participativa. A pesquisa foi realizada com 120 alunos de 13 e 14 anos, do oitavo ano do ensino fundamental II em 2017, em Campinas e foram utilizados os instrumentos de observações participantes, bem como a aplicação de um questionário elaborado pelo autor, no começo e ao final do período da pesquisa. Outro instrumento de pesquisa utilizado foi a Roda de Estados de Ânimo (REA), que tornou possível a identificação dos estados emocionais acionados durante as diferentes modalidades praticadas no período da pesquisa. Todos os dados coletados foram analisados de maneira quantitativa e qualitativa, para tentar comprovar e explicar diferenças significativas nas respostas sociais e emocionais dos alunos aos diferentes estímulos no decorrer da pesquisa, considerando questões de gênero e o período em que estudam. Estas analises sugerem que as atividades praticadas durante a pesquisa acionaram estados emocionais variados, e que as práticas corporais, bem como as digitais podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento do aprendizado emocional. / Physical Education as well as all the corporal practices in the school looks, for the most part, to the traditional chains of the esportivization and the sports skills development. However, it is clear that the discussions around these practices can be rich in the sense of human development and their relationships. We know that collectivity, competition and cooperation are elements that stimulate diverse emotional states, allowing us to work effectively on emotional learning. This work culminates in what we think about Physical Education, multidisciplinary, that has the duty to offer good moments for our students to experience and experience emotional states and their conflicts, allowing the development of these social skills in a really efficient way. The present work tried to understand how students react socially and emotionally in the different moments of their school routine and how emotional states are activated in Physical Education classes during the practice of games, gymnastics, dance and digital games. And also, understand how they can identify emotional reactions in their peers. The methodological option was action research and was carried out in close relation between theory and practice, where participants and researchers, representatives of the situation or the problem, are involved in al situations. The research was carried out with 120 students of 13 and 14 years of age, from the 8th year of middle school in 2017, in Campinas and the instruments of participant observations were used, as well as the application of a questionnaire elaborated by the author, at the beginning and at the end of the research period. Another research tool used was the Geneva Emotion Wheel (GEW), which made it possible to identify the emotional states during the different modalities practiced during the research period. All the data collected were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed to try to prove and explain significant differences in the social and emotional responses of the students to the different stimuli during the research, considering gender issues and the period in which they study. These analyzes suggest that the activities practiced during the research triggered varied emotional states, and that physical as well as digital practices can contribute to the development of emotional learning.
