Confronting the psychoanalytic theory and the clinical experience, we can perceive that the feminine talk meets certain privileged social positions in the contemporaneity, up to the point of denying the place of the absence. The feminine talk becomes alienated into an imaginary world, woven by the social. Other, and comes to enjoy the lures provided by it. However, the emancipation of that feminine talk in the economic and legal areas cause the women to illusively see themselves complete, placing the other sex in an object position. As a consequence, we notice that one of most frequent complaints coming out in the psychoanalytic clinic, nowadays permeating the feminine talk, is that they are successful women regarding their social life, while on the other hand, there is a complete lack of any love relationship. / Este trabalho visa a refletir uma repetição sintomática na clínica feminina na contemporaneidade que é a ausência de uma relação amorosa. A partir de um cotejamento entre a teoria psicanalítica e a experiência clínica, percebemos que o discurso feminino encontra na contemporaneidade posições sociais privilegiadas e passa, assim, a negar o lugar da falta. O discurso feminino aliena-se em um imaginário tecido pelo Outro social e passa a gozar dos engodos que por ele são oferecidos. Todavia, a emancipação do discurso feminino nos campos econômico e jurídico faz com que as mulheres posicionassem ilusoriamente como absolutas, colocando o Outro sexo em uma posição de objeto. Em decorrência disso, percebemos que uma das queixas que hoje chega à clinica psicanalítica permeando o discurso feminino é que de um lado tratam-se de mulheres bem sucedidas na vida social e de outro, há a ausência de uma relação amorosa.

As the interactive entertainment industry matures, we need a better understanding of what makes software entertaining. A natural starting point is the application of traditional Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) tools to interactive entertainment software. Cognitive models are tools that HCI researchers have used to model users' thought processes and evaluate interface design. With this research we investigate the relationship between the complexity of an interaction and the entertainment experienced by the user. We designed a simple computer game, created a normative model for how a user plays this game, built several variations of this game such that normative models of these variants differed across two factors: pace and complexity. User studies were conducted on these variations, and we compared these factors to user performance and self-reported user enjoyment.

Instigated by the desire to know about how hysteria presents itself in this discourse, we conducted, at a first moment of the work, a passage on its history, from the Antiquity to Freud, when hysteria and hysterical patients gained a new place. This place is the listening that the father of psychoanalysis destined to the desire of the hysterics. Lacan, in his re-reading of Freud, postulated that hysteria is a strategy regarding the desire, because in its particularity hysteria is defined by the desire of desire. In this way, it constitutes a form of social bond, in the later formulation of Lacan’s theory of discourses. Therefore, if hysteria has its characteristic dissatisfaction of desire, our attention is placed on how this particularity occurs in the capitalist discourse. In this discourse, what prevails is the erasure of the subject and the promise of completeness through objects taken as merchandise, which, in turn, generates a lack-to-enjoyment (manque-à-jouir) in the hysterical subject. However, Lacan postulates that desire is not so easily concealed and, in this sense, hysteria can serve as a resistance against the massification of capitalist discourse, for the dissatisfaction of desire always insists. Finally, we verify which are some possible answers and possibilities of the hysteric before the social bond established by the capitalist discourse, its links and outcomes / Este trabalho ocupa-se de estudar a histeria – conceito basilar da teoria e práxis psicanalítica – no discurso capitalista. Instigados pelo desejo de saber a respeito de como ela se apresenta nesse discurso, realizamos, em um primeiro momento do trabalho, uma passagem sobre seu histórico, desde a antiguidade até a chegada de Freud, onde a histeria e os pacientes histéricos ganharam um novo lugar. Este lugar é a escuta que o pai da psicanálise destinou ao desejo dos histéricos. Lacan, em sua releitura de Freud, postulou que a histeria é uma estratégia diante do desejo, pois, em sua particularidade, ela se define pelo desejo de desejo. Assim sendo, ela constitui uma forma de laço social, na formulação posterior da teoria dos discursos de Lacan. Portanto, se a histeria tem como característica a insatisfação do desejo, nosso olhar voltou-se para como essa particularidade se dá no discurso capitalista. Nesse discurso, o que impera é o apagamento do sujeito e a promessa de completude por meio dos objetos mercadorias, o que gera, por sua vez, uma falta-a-gozar no sujeito histérico. No entanto, Lacan postula que o desejo não é escamoteado com tanta facilidade e, nesse sentido, a histeria pode servir como uma resistência contra a massificação do discurso capitalista, pois a insatisfação do desejo sempre insiste. Para finalizar, verificamos quais são algumas possíveis respostas e possibilidades do histérico diante do laço social estabelecido pelo discurso capitalista, seus enlaces e desenlaces

<p>HIV and AIDS are disease conditions that have led to high mortality rates in Southern Africa since the late 1970s. The socio-economic system has led to the unequal spread of resources&rsquo / and vulnerability and exposure to HIV is more prevalent in poorer communities. The added burden of life stresses cause for many to be isolated and stigmatised and are often not equipped with the necessary support and coping skills to deal with the magnitude of these circumstances. There is a high prevalence of mental disorders and especially depression amongst individuals infected with either HIV or AIDS. Research shows that stressful life events can impact HIV course progression and impacts the QoL of those infected with HIV or AIDS. Given the social and psychological context of HIV and AIDS, the aim of the study was to examine the relationship between depression and QoL in a sample of adults diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. This quantitative, cross-sectional study used the Becks Depression Inventory II (BDI II) and the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q), to measure the variables concerned. This battery of&nbsp / questionnaires was administered to a purposive sample of adult individuals diagnosed with HIV or AIDS residing in a previously disadvantaged area in the Cape Metropole region. Using SPSS,&nbsp / data was analysed and descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted. The study found that there were more women than men with HIV or AIDS that were found to be depressed (mild, moderate and severe depression). Furthermore, the depressive state increased when the progression of the disease increased. There were generally no significant differences in the QoL&nbsp / experienced within various areas of life and overall life satisfaction experienced. However, the QoL experienced in work was lower. There was a significant relationship between the depressed state and QoL and life satisfaction experienced in household duties and tasks. The contribution of this study includes informing the larger research project, with regards to future treatment&nbsp / regimes. It will update statistics on the prevalence of depression and QoL of adults diagnosed with HIV or AIDS in the area. This study is framed within a biopsychosocial model and is&nbsp / theoretically underpinned by Beck&rsquo / s theory of depression.

Le taux de participation sportive chez les jeunes canadiens décroît d’année en année et tend à diminuer avec l’âge. La chute plus marquée du taux de pratique sportive lors de l’entrée au secondaire est notamment bien documentée. Cette étude s’intéresse aux obstacles et aux raisons de la pratique sportive ainsi qu’au plaisir ressenti en sport et dans le contexte du cours d’éducation physique. Une méthodologie quantitative a été utilisée pour cette étude. La collecte des données a été réalisée via une enquête par questionnaire accessible en ligne. L’échantillon de convenance est composé de 2001 élèves francophones de la première à la cinquième secondaire qui fréquentaient, au moment de l’étude, un établissement scolaire canadien et francophone. Parmi ces jeunes, 367 d’entre eux ont été inclus dans la catégorie des sportifs (fréquence minimale de pratique sportive de quatre heures par semaine), 241 ex-sportifs et 142 non-sportifs, pour un total de 750 répondants inclus aux analyses. Les résultats indiquent que, de façon générale, l’obstacle le plus important vise les contraintes temporelles, alors que les raisons les plus importantes renvoient à la sensation de plaisir ressenti lors de l’activité sportive elle-même. Les résultats suggèrent par ailleurs des différences selon le type de sportif, l’âge et le sexe des jeunes. Les sportifs ressentiraient un plaisir sportif supérieur à celui des ex-sportifs lors de la pratique sportive et dans le cours d’éducation physique. Les filles sont plus enclines que les garçons à considérer les obstacles inclus dans cette étude comme des obstacles à la pratique sportive. Les obstacles semblent également être de plus en plus nombreux avec l’âge. Bien qu’une corrélation significative ait été observée entre le plaisir sportif en éducation physique et dans la pratique sportive organisée, les résultats indiquent que le plaisir sportif en éducation physique est plus élevé que le plaisir ressenti dans la pratique sportive organisée. / Youths sports participation in Canada reaches lower levels each year and tends to become lower for the adolescents as they grow in age, especially when they enter high school. This study examines the obstacles and reasons of sport participation and the enjoyment felt in sports and physical education classes. A quantitative method was used for this study. Data collection was conducted via an online survey. The convenience sample consists of 2001 francophone students from the first to the fifth year of high school in a Canadian and francophone school. Among these students, 367 were included as sport participants (sport participation of four hours per week minimum), 241 ex-sport participants and 142 non-sport participants, for a total of 750 students included in the analyzes. The results suggest that, in general, the most important source of obstacle seems to be time constraints, while the reasons that stood out as the most important referred to sports enjoyment dealing specifically with the feeling of pleasure associated with the activity itself. Results also suggest that the obstacles and reasons of sports participation seem to vary according to the type of sport, age and sex of the adolescent. Actual sport participants would experience higher levels of sports enjoyment than ex- sports participants in sports and in physical education classes. Girls were more likely than boys to consider the obstacles included in this study as barriers to sport. Barriers also appear to be more numerous with age. Sports enjoyment in physical education seems to be higher that sports enjoyment in sports. Our results also demonstrate the existence of a significant correlation between the sport enjoyment in physical education and in sports.

Cette thèse aborde la clinique de la psychose avec des enfants et des adolescents à partir de deux diagnostics : dans la première partie, le diagnostic de « Psychose ordinaire », d’orientation lacanienne, et, dans la seconde partie, ce qui a été qualifié par des orientations postfreudiennes de « limite », soit un « cas », un « état » ou un « trouble ». Des séries de cas respectifs ont été examinés, à partir des rapports écrits par les psychanalystes de chaque orientation. Dans cette recherche, nous avons pu vérifier que lorsque des changements immédiats et positifs sont arrivés dans le cours même des séances, ils le sont toujours grâce à l’établissement du transfert. Dans cette perspective, Lacan a souligné que les cas dit « limites » sont en réalité des cas d’acting out, où le sujet cherche à pousser le transfert depuis le registre imaginaire des significations vers l’opération symbolique dans laquelle doivent être pris les signifiants de la langue ou de la lalangue qu’il prononce. Ce que les « cas limites » mettent en relief est la « limite transférentielle ». Dans la psychose ordinaire, les suppléances imaginaires réussies par le sujet seul ont acquis en présence de l’autre réel du transfert des supports symboliques stables. Dans la psychose extraordinaire, où ces suppléances manquent et l’appel du sujet à un autre est fait à travers différentes manifestations de la jouissance, l’acquisition du support signifiant est suffisant pour des changements subjectifs significatifs et l’établissement de liens sociaux. Grâce au transfert l’état extraordinaire devient ordinaire et on peut dire que dans la clinique de la psychose, il y a un avant et un après le transfert. / This thesis approaches the clinical psychosis with children and adolescents from two different diagnoses: in the first part, the diagnosis of "ordinary psychosis", Lacanian orientation, and, in the second, what has been qualified by certain guidelines post-Freudian "limit", be it a "case", a "state" or a "disorder”. The respective case series have been examined from texts written by psychoanalysts of each orientation. In this thesis, we have been able to verify that, when there have been immediate and positive changes in the actual course of the sessions, it has been thanks to the establishment of the transfer. From this point of view, Lacan has emphasized that the cases qualified as "borderline" are really acts of acting out, through which the subject seeks to turn the transfer of the imaginary register of significations towards the register of the signifiers. In this record, what counts is the symbolic operation in which are taken these signifiers of the language or the lalangue pronounced by the subject. In the ordinary psychosis, the imaginary substitutions, achieved by the subject alone, have acquired, in the presence of the other reality of the transference, stable symbolic supports. In the extraordinary psychosis, when these substitutions have been lacking and the subject makes their call to the other through different manifestations of enjoyment, the acquisition of significant support is sufficient to achieve meaningful subjective changes and the establishment of social bonds. Thanks to the transfer, the extraordinary state becomes ordinary and one can say that in the clinical psychosis there is a before and an after the transfer.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to observe, characterize ale reflect two well-known methods of teaching mathematics - so-called classical method and method according to professor Hejný, on the example of two second grade class teachers of elementary school with a focus on geometry. In the theoretical part I list several research works concerning class room observation. I use these to set up methodology of my own research. Moreover, the methods are characterized according to the literature and the analysis of the textbooks. Also the outputs of the Framework Education Programme (in Czech "Rámcový vzdělávací program") are presented in this theoretical part. I use these outputs to evaluate whether the method leads students to what they should know. The practical part consists of observing lessons of two teachers, my own teaching experience in the given classes and final questionnaire for students. Data collected from these observations are analysed with the help of qualitative and quantitative methods. The representative of the so-called classical method put emphasis on repetition and system. He usually asks students questions that require a shorter response. Students do not enjoy the school and geometry that much, but the knowledge results are quite good. The representative of the method according...

Customer behavior has always been of interest for business researchers. However, it is just in recent years that there has been an increasing interest in the phenomenon of the sharing economy. It has been suggested that there is an ongoing shift in the traditional way of consuming. The idea behind the sharing economy is that two different parties can make use of their underused assets through an online platform. Previous quantitative research in the area of interest mainly focuses on the motivational factors for participation in the sharing economy; four of the most prominent factors were therefore identified and further investigated. In this thesis, these factors are referred to as drivers and more specifically, the drivers of enjoyment, sustainability, convenience, and financial benefits. Further, previous research gives an indication of a discrepancy between customer attitudes and actions when making a decision in the sharing economy. With this in mind, the purpose of this thesis is to describe customer behavior in the sharing economy. More specifically, this thesis seeks to study the relationship between attitudes and actions of customers in the sharing economy. Taking this into account, the following research question was formulated:   What is the relationship between attitudes and actions of the customers participating in the sharing economy of Rentl AB?   In order to fulfill the purpose of this thesis, the Swedish sharing economy business Rentl was addressed. To answer the research question a quantitative research strategy was followed where a survey was sent out to randomly chosen customers of Rentl and 145 responses were collected. The collected data was statistically analyzed by the use of Paired T-tests and Regression Analyses. Further, the empirical findings regarding the four identified drivers were analyzed in accordance with the theoretical framework. The identified attitude-action gap is therefore analyzed by the application of basic customer decision-making, the theory of Bounded Rationality, the Theory of Reasoned Action &amp; the Theory of Planned Behavior, and finally the Self-Determination Theory.   The authors established that there is a positive relationship between attitudes and actions regarding the extrinsic drivers, convenience and financial benefits. However, it was further established that the intrinsic drivers, enjoyment and sustainability, do not have a significant influence on the actual actions. In other words, a positive attitude toward enjoyment and sustainability as drivers for participation in the sharing economy does not necessarily translate into actions. Thus, the authors identified that there is an attitude-action gap in the sharing economy.     In addition to the theoretical contributions, this research further contributes with practical aspects. More importantly, the sharing business Rentl is provided with a better understanding for the customer behavior in their business. Considering that the findings of this research identify convenience and financial benefits as significant drivers for participation, this can be emphasized in marketing contexts by managers.

A opção pelas gated communities fez desaparecer dos espaços de convivência comunitária considerados a primeira vítima colateral de uma cidade que perde a árdua luta enfrentada para resistir ao avanço do isolamento espacial dos moradores grande parte dos atrativos da vida citadina. Diante da importância do ambiente público na formação da criança e do adolescente, a questão envolvendo a tutela da convivência comunitária está inegavelmente baseada na necessidade da efetivação de políticas públicas voltadas para a revitalização e readequação dos espaços urbanos, a fim de resguardar a qualidade de vida daqueles que merecem especial proteção do Estado. Sob este prisma, portanto, que esta obra será desenvolvida. Pretende-se demonstrar que, em relação à criança e ao adolescente, hodiernamente entendidos como pessoas humanas que merecem especial atenção da família, sociedade e Estado, a tutela da convivência comunitária representa um Direito Fundamental, em paralelo ao direito à convivência familiar, em que ambos estão igualmente previstos na norma constitucional, através do artigo 227 da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, e infraconstitucional, por meio dos artigos 4 e 19 do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. / Gated communities option by the end of community interaction spaces considered the first victim sibling of a city that loses the arduous struggle faced to withstand the advancement of spatial isolation of residents most of the attractions of the city life. Considering the importance of public education of children and adolescents, the issue involving the community coexistence is undeniably based on need effective public policies targeted to the revitalization and readjustment of urban spaces, seeking to safeguard the quality of life of those who deserve special protection by the State. He, therefore, that this work will be carried out. To demonstrate that, in relation to children and adolescents, hodiernamente understood as human beings that deserve special attention from the family, society and State, the Fellowship Community represents a fundamental right, in parallel to the right to family life, in which both are also provided for in the constitutional standard, through article 227 of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil 1988 and infraconstitucional, by means of article 4 and 19 of the Statute of the child and adolescent.
