This paper explores how the mechanics and the narrative of the game Hades compare to theories and methods of the proven psychotherapies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Activation Therapy (BA), specifically in treatment of depression symptoms. The research was done by conducting a partial close reading of the game, followed by an overview of threads on the social media site Reddit relating to Hades and depression symptoms. The results were further analysed through examining how they compare to the previously aforementioned treatments. The research found several of the game's mechanics could be mapped to methods of both CBT and BA, and noteworthy connections could be drawn between how Hades could impact its players and the ideal outcomes of the said psychotherapies. The results open possibilities for further interesting studies within the area. / Detta dokument utforskar hur mekaniken och berättelsen i spelet Hades kan jämställa sig med teorier och metoder för de beprövade psykoterapierna kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) samt beteendeaktiveringsbehandling (BA) specifikt vid behandling av symptom till depression. Undersökningen gjordes genom att genomföra en delvis närläsning av spelet, följt av en översikt över trådar på den sociala mediasidan Reddit om Hades och depressiva symptom. Resultaten analyserades vidare genom att undersöka hur de jämför sig med de tidigare nämnda behandlingarna. Forskningen fann att flera av spelets mekaniker kunde kartläggas till metoder för både KBT och BA och att anmärkningsvärda kopplingar kunde dras mellan hur Hades kan påverka sina spelare och de idealiska resultaten av de nämnda psykoterapierna. Resultaten öppnar möjligheter för ytterligare intressanta studier inom området.Nyckelord: datorspel, underhållningsspel, Hades, depression, mental hälsa,

[pt] O objetivo deste trabalho é evidenciar as interpretações teológicas mais expressivas sobre a Descida de Cristo à mansão dos mortos (vitória, pregação e solidariedade). Com os principais elementos contidos na reflexão teológica deste artigo de fé, tentaremos apresentar a descida de Cristo aos infernos como um modelo para a atuação e práxis libertadora da Igreja, mostrando como um antigo artigo de fé pode ser traduzido, de modo a fazer sentido para o fiel do séc. XXI. Assim sendo, se Cristo desceu aos infernos, Ele desce até a nossa realidade e aos nossos desafios sociais. Por analogia poderíamos dizer que aquilo que seria mansão dos mortos como Sheol, Hades, Inferos e Refaim, Cristo também teria descido a nossa condição humana, muitas vezes desprovida de esperança, invisível socialmente ou incapaz de agir por um sistema de opressão. A atuação da Igreja seria a mesma daquela promovida por Cristo quando pregou levando uma nova oportunidade de salvação na morada dos mortos ou quando o Cristo se fez solidário de corpo e alma para que toda a obra criada pudesse participar da graça de Deus. É a tentativa em dar uma práxis eclesial a partir das interpretações cristológicas e soteriológicas sobre o Descensus, fazendo com que a descida de Cristo à morada dos mortos se insira dentro do contexto latino-americano. / [en] This project objective is to highlight the most expressive theological interpretations about Christ s descent to the death manor (triumph, preaching and solidarity). With the main features contained in the theological reflection in this scientific faith article, we will try to present Christ s descent in to hell as a type for the Church liberator performance and praxis, showing like an old faith article can be translated in order to make sense to the believers from the XXI century. Therefore, if Christ descended in to hell he would descend until our realities and our social challenges. By the analogy, we could say that it would be the death manor such as Sheol, Hades, Hell and Rephaim, Christ would have descended to our human condition, often without hope, socially unseen or incapable to act because of an oppression system. The church performance would be the same as the one promoted by Christ. When he preached taking a new redemption opportunity to the deceased abode or when Christ was body and soul solidary for every accomplishments that could take part of God’s grace. It s an attempt to give an ecclesiastic praxis by the Christological and soteriological interpretations about the descensus, which Christ s descent to the deceased abode gets inserted into LatinAmerican context.

The main aim of this work is the presentation, characterisation and review of the image of the Greek underworld deity, Hades/Plouton in Greek beliefs of the Archaic and Classical periods, on the basis of comparison of the preserved literary and epigraphic testimonies with the remains of material culture, and the reconstruction of the most coherent possible image of the god, claimed by scholars to be of little importance to Greek beliefs and to have no cult. The present dissertation liberates the god from long-standing scholarly misconceptions and returns him to his proper place within the Greek pantheon. Its main scholarly contribution and originality can be summarised as follows: (i) Hades is mainly an agricultural deity with a clear cult environment and has more in common with the world of the living than that of the dead; (ii) Hades influenced the representation of other male deities connected with earth: his main attribute, paradoxically the cornucopia or 'horn of plenty', appears for the first time in Greek art in the 6th century BC as exclusively his, and is later ascribed to other deities; (iii) Hades and Plouton were the same deity (Plouton - an Attic instantiation - spread throughout Greece with Attic literature and the Eleusinian cult of Demeter and Kore), sharing the same myths, and both, through the properties inscribed in their names (invisibility in Hades' and corn in Plouton's), referring to the earth; both names are products of the conceptualisation of the world of the dead; (iv) contrary to the prevailing scholarly view, the multiplicity of Hades' names is not exclusively the result of euphemism (which I propose to see rather as a by- product): the nomenclature is more complex and depends principally on cultic or mythological contexts and local tradition. My work not only reconstructs the repertoire of Greek ideas and opinions on Hades and the character of his cult, but also advocates a new understanding of the notion of Greek deity, as metonymy: Hades is representative of a wider class of deities who are concrete and abstract at the same time (like Gaia [the Earth], Uranos [the Sky], Okeanos [the Sea]): they denote a place, a god, a property of something, a form of matter.

L'analyse des résultats les plus récents des spectres de dileptons obtenus en collision d'ions lourds a démontré la nécessité d'une compréhension fine des différents mécanismes élémentaires de production de ces paires e+e-. Le dispositif expérimental HADES, installé auprès de l'accélérateur de GSI, est bien adapté à ces études. Ainsi, le rapport de branchement de la décroissance Dalitz de la résonance Delta, qui n'a jamais été mesuré, est une des axes principaux de cette thèse. Au delà de la mesure de ce rapport de branchement, la réaction pp->pD+->ppe+e- pourrait aussi permettre de donner des informations sur la structure interne de la résonance et plus particulièrement sur les facteurs de forme de transition électromagnétique N-Delta.<br />L'analyse des simulations présentée a permis de démontrer la faisabilité de cette expérience en estimant le taux de comptage attendu ainsi que le rapport Signal sur Bruit. Cette analyse a aussi mis en évidence l'importance de la résolution en impulsion du détecteur pour la réussite de l'expérience.<br />La résolution en impulsion doit donc être étudiée. Dans ce travail, nous avons tenté de mettre en évidence les points importants qui permettraient de comprendre la résolution mesurée actuellement.

Aim of this report is the investigation of suitable operational conditions for the drif{}t chambers MDC III installed in the HADES setup. The simulations performed showed that operating the drif{}t chambers in a mode with nearly constant electron drif{}t velocity in a predominant part of the cell allows a more precise and fast tracking. This is particularly important for electrons and positrons; here the invariant dilepton mass must be reconstructed with high precision to get a resolution of $\Delta M/M\approx 1\%$ for the $\omega$ and $\phi$ mass peaks and thus a chance to verify also small in-medium mass shif{}ts. This helps to realize the physics program at HADES which focuses on the search for such mass shif{}ts to get insight into the in-medium behaviour of hadrons in dense strongly interacting matter.

A need has arisen for an easy-to-use, flexible, transparent, and cross-platform communication backbone for configuration and execution of distributed simulations and experiments. Open source, open architecture, and custom student written pro- grams have extended the capabilities of educational research facilities and opened the way for the development of the architecture presented in this thesis. The architecture is known by the recursive acronym hADES: hADES Architecture for Distributed Engineering Simulation. Included in this thesis is a discussion of the design and implementation of the novel hADES software architecture for Ethernet and wireless IEEE 802.11 network-based distributed simulation and experiment facilities. The goal of this architecture is to facilitate rapid integration of new and legacy simulations and laboratory equipment to support undergraduate and graduate research projects as well as educational classroom activities and industrial simulation and experiments.

The writer expresses the hope that this treatment of an important subject may be found interesting--he knows this it can scarcely be found pleasant reading. It is our purpose to treat of the "eschatological views of the fate of the wicked"--Hell ideas entertained--"in human history". These are many. While most of them agree at some points, the range of ideas is broad, and "human history" is broad. We wish to emphasize our disinterest, for the purpose of this thesis, in eschatological views of the reward of the "good," save to say that, generally, this is but 'the other side of the shield,' having a definite correspondence to its opposite. We make no claim to give either an exhaustive or erudite treatment of our subject, but attempt rather to outline the major views of the field, relating them to, and in some instances tracing their influence upon, human history.
