Cette thèse identifie dans la littérature psychanalytique actuelle la difusion d’un argument commun qui dit que le déclin de la fonction paternelle dans la contemporaneité – considéré comme une mutation culturelle – est corrélé à de nouveaux symptômes et formes cliniques. Selon cet argument, la pratique de la psychanalyse dans la contemporaneité trouve des difficultés particulières et sans précédent. Je recherche cette corrélation de façon critique, en soulignant ses aspects méthodologiques et épistémologiques. Une compréhension de la relation de la psychanalyse de Lacan avec la science est essentiel à cette but, parce qu’elle fournit les outils théoriques qui soutiennent cette critique et permet aussi la construction d'une topologie structurale : une méthode d'approche de structures localisées que se oppose à la façon comme les questions contemporains de la psychanalyse ont été développées. Je considère que l'hypothèse universaliste et totémique de la culture, ainsi que la rationalité diagnostic tripartite (névrose, psychose, perversion) qui elle soutient, sont le fondement insuffisant de la argumentation difusé dans la littérature. Ainsi, les solutions localisées sont proposées comme alternatives que, dans le contexte de la topologie structurale, sont créatrices ou émettrices d'éxistences, ce qui justifie qu’elles soient prises comme une troisième voie de la structure, ni empirique ni formelle, mais universalisant dans un sens que se oppose au universalisable généraliste et inductive. Enfin, on propose deux exemples d'utilisations de la topologie structurale dans des régions localisées de la théorie psychanalytique : la coupure interprétatif, soutenu par la bande de Moebius, et la relation entre la théorie et la technique psychanalytique, soutenu par la structure torique de l'Autre comme univers du discours incomplet. / Esta tese identifica na literatura psicanalítica atual a difusão de um argumento comum que afirma que o declínio da função paterna na contemporaneidade – considerado uma mutação cultural – é correlato a novos sintomas e formas clínicas. Segundo esse argumento, a prática da psicanálise na contemporaneidade encontraria dificuldades específicas e inéditas. Investigo essa correlação criticamente, enfatizando seus aspectos metodológicos e epistemológicos. A compreensão da relação da psicanálise de Lacan com a ciência é fundamental para esse propósito, pois tanto fornece as ferramentas teóricas que embasam essa crítica quanto permite a construção de uma topologia estrutural, um método de abordagem de estruturas localizadas que se opõe ao modo como as questões contemporâneas da psicanálise vem sendo desenvolvidas. Considero que a hipótese universalista e totêmica da cultura, assim como a racionalidade diagnóstica tripartida (neurose-psicose-perversão) por ela sustentada, são o fundamento insuficiente da argumentação difundida na literatura. Sendo assim, as soluções localizadas são propostas como alternativas que, dentro do contexto da topologia estrutural, são criadoras ou emissoras de existências, o que justifica que sejam tomadas como uma terceira via da estrutura, nem empírica nem formalista, mas universalizante num sentido que se opõe ao universalizável de cunho generalista e indutivo. Finalmente, são propostos exemplos de utilizações da topologia estrutural em regiões localizadas da teoria psicanalítica: o corte interpretativo, cujo suporte é a banda de Moebius, e a articulação entre a teoria e a técnica psicanalíticas, fundamentada pela estrutura tórica do Outro como universo de discurso incompleto. / This thesis identifies in the current psychoanalytic literature the diffusion of a common argument that states that the decline of the paternal function in the contemporaneity – considered as a cultural mutation – is correlative to new symptoms and clinical forms. According to this argument, the practice of psychoanalysis nowadays encounters specific and unprecedented difficulties. In this work, this correlation is critically investigated and its methodological and epistemological aspects are emphasized. Understanding the relationship of Lacan's psychoanalysis with science is essential for this purpose, since it provides the theoretical tools that support this criticism and allows the construction of a structural topology: a method that approaches localized structures in a way that is opposite to the way of how contemporary issues of psychoanalysis are being developed. I consider that the universalist and totemic hypothesis of culture, as well as the tripartite diagnostic rationality (neurosis, psychosis, perversion) that it sustains, are the insufficient foundation of the argument widespread in literature. Thus, within the structural topology context, the localized solutions are proposed as alternatives for the creation or emission of existences, which justifies them as a third way of the structure, neither empirical nor formalist, but universalizing in a sense that is opposite to the generalist and inductive universalizable. Finally, examples of uses of the structural topology in localized regions of the psychoanalytic theory are proposed: the interpretive cut, whose support is the Moebius band, and the relation between theory and psychoanalytic technique, sustained by the toric structure of the Other as incomplete universe of speech.

Chamamos a atenção para esses dois conceitos por julgarmos ser possível realizar, a partir deles, uma leitura psicanalítica freudiana que nos permita estudar as relações entre pais e filhos com base no entendimento das questões metapsicológicas que fundamentam estas relações. Não estamos interessados em estudar exclusivamente a subjetividade parental ou a subjetividade da criança, mas sim a tensão que surge na relação com o outro, situação que constitui, de acordo com a psicanálise freudiana, um dos fundamentos da subjetividade humana. O narcisismo talvez seja, nesse sentido, um conceito privilegiado, pois delineia uma estrutura conceitual que tenta dar conta desta tensão que assola o Eu sempre muito frágil e desamparado, incapaz mesmo de lidar com os estímulos que o assolam, sejam eles provenientes do mundo interno ou do externo. Com o conceito de função parental tentamos oferecer certo contorno teórico para determinadas observações clínicas obtidas em nosso consultório, não com o objetivo de descrever estilos ou condutas parentais consideradas melhores, e sim, de tentar compreender as conseqüências que podem advir da existência de uma marca narcísica no amor que os pais sentem por seus filhos. Para tanto, buscaremos apoio também na literatura de forma que a inspiração e a observação das relações humanas feita pelo grande gênio de Honoré de Balzac possa nos ajudar a tornar menos árido o caminho a percorrer. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This work is an outcome of a bibliographic research and a theoretical discussion about narcissism and parental function. We emphasize these two concepts because we think they can make it possible to carry out a Freudian psychoanalytic understanding of the relationship between parents and offspring, discussing the metapsychological issues involved. We are not interest about parental or children subjectivity as separated topics, so we try to center our attention to the inevitable strain present on human relationship and to the primary mental organization occurred also in response of this strain. Thus, narcissism would be an interesting concept because it helps to outline an important explanation for that primary mental organization, pointing that the Ego is from the very beginning powerless to deal with both inner and external stimulation. The parental function concept tries to put forward a theoretical comprehension about some clinical observations that take place on daily clinical work. However, this path will not lead us to the description of parental behaviors patterns in order to discover the paramount parental behavior. Regardless, we aim to think over the consequences that can be produced by the narcissistic mark which can be found blended to parental care. The literature will aid us on this route, providing us with the overriding inspiration and the clever human observation accomplished by Honoré de Balzac.

This study consist of a comparative analysis of the nostalgic female characters in Pai Hsien-yung's two short stories: "Wandering in a Garden, Waking from a Dream," and "A Celestial in Mundane Exile," and Tennessee Williams's two plays: The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire. Beginning with a brief discussion of the socio-historical background of Pai's Republican China and Williams's American South, a general analysis of previous scholarship on Pai and Williams's works follows. The analysis of the selected works focuses on the stylistic and symbolic features in Pai and Williams's characterizations, such as Pai's use of stream-of-consciousness, reference to the k'un opera Peony Pavilion, elaboration over descriptive details of the setting, symbolic use of clothing and accessories, and Williams's symbolic use of music genres: "Blues Piano" and the "Varsouviana Polka," and his use of rhythm and other poetic elements in his characters' speech, in the style of "personal lyricism." My study is based on a close-reading analysis of the selected works by Pai and Williams. Their humanistic approach to their respective declining aristocratic cultures and their sympathy for the nostalgic female characters' tragedies will be more apparent when the study focuses mostly on the texts themselves. Their similar belief in the universal values, such as compassion, sacrifice, and courage, has made their works comparable. In the discussion of themes, the idea of the humanistic role of literature articulated by William Faulkner in his Nobel Prize Speech is also used to connect Pai and Williams's sympathetic approach to their characters. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate

O objetivo dessa dissertação em formato de artigos foi avaliar as práticas paternas de apoio à mulher no processo da amamentação sob a perspectiva materna. O artigo de revisão integrativa objetivou identificar os tipos de apoio paterno oferecido à mulher durante a amamentação. A amostra de 12 estudos publicados em português e inglês, disponíveis nas bases de dados MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, BDENF, sem recorte temporal, identificou os apoios paternos: emocional, instrumental, informativo, presencial e autoapoio, sendo o mais frequente o emocional e o menos encontrado o autoapoio. O primeiro artigo original avaliou os tipos de apoio paterno à mulher no processo da amamentação, na perspectiva materna. Estudo transversal, analítico, cuja a amostra foi composta por 158 mulheres, em Recife-PE, Brasil. Foi realizada análise multivariada a partir de um modelo hierárquico do aleitamento materno exclusivo aos seis meses de vida da criança, contemplando fatores socioeconômicos, maternos, de assistência à saúde e os cincos tipos de apoio paterno, utilizando a regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. Na análise bivariada o apoio paterno informativo (ρ=0,014) e o autoapoio (ρ=0,004) foram significativos para o aleitamento materno exclusivo. No entanto na análise multivariada, apenas a amamentação de filhos anteriores (ρ=0,013) foram estatisticamente significantes para o aleitamento materno exclusivo e o apoio instrumental foi associado ao desmame precoce (ρ=0,009). O segundo artigo original avaliou as práticas paternas de apoio à amamentação exclusiva. O método utilizado seguiu as etapas realizadas no primeiro artigo original, diferenciando as variáveis a serem analisadas. A análise bivariada foi realizada entre os fatores socioeconômicos, maternos, de assistência à saúde, práticas de apoio à amamentação e a prevalência da amamentação exclusiva aos seis meses utilizando a regressão de Poisson simples. Para análise multivariada foi utilizado a Regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, na qual nenhuma prática apresentou significância estatística (ρ<0,05) para o aleitamento materno exclusivo. Nestes estudos as práticas paternas de apoio e os apoios paternos, não foram determinantes para o aleitamento materno exclusivo. Durante o processo de amamentação, tanto a mulher quanto o homem, passam por um processo de adaptação, tornando-se necessário que os profissionais da saúde promovam ações educativas direcionadas não só à mãe, mas ao casal objetivando a prática do aleitamento materno. / The knowledge about paternal support associated with breastfeeding allows us to think of new strategies to help the nursing woman to adapt positively to breastfeeding and, consequently, to increase the breastfeeding period. The objective of this dissertation in the form of articles was to evaluate the paternal practices of support to the woman in the breastfeeding process from the maternal perspective. The integrative review article aimed to identify the types of parental support offered to women during breastfeeding. The sample of 12 studies published in Portuguese and English, available in the databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, BDENF, without temporal cut, identified paternal support: emotional, instrumental, informative, face-to-face and self-help, being the most frequent emotional and the least found the self-help. The first original article evaluated the types of paternal support for women in the breastfeeding process, from a maternal perspective. A cross-sectional, analytical study whose sample was composed of 158 women, in Recife-PE, Brazil. Multivariate analysis was performed using a hierarchical model of exclusive breastfeeding at six months of age, considering socioeconomic, maternal, health care and five types of paternal support, using Poisson regression with robust variance. In the bivariate analysis, paternal informational support (ρ = 0.014) and self-support (ρ = 0.004) were significant for exclusive breastfeeding. However, in the multivariate analysis only breastfeeding of previous children (ρ = 0.013) was statistically significant for exclusive breastfeeding and instrumental support was associated with early weaning (ρ = 0.009). The second original article evaluated parental practices in support of exclusive breastfeeding. The method used followed the steps performed in the first original article, differentiating the variables to be analyzed. The bivariate analysis was performed between socioeconomic, maternal, health care, breastfeeding support practices and the exclusive breastfeeding prevalence at six months using simple Poisson regression. For multivariate analysis, Poisson regression with robust variance was used. In the multivariate analysis, no practice presented statistical significance (ρ <0.05) for exclusive breastfeeding. In these studies, paternal support practices and parental support were not determinant for exclusive breastfeeding. During the breastfeeding process, both the woman and the man undergo an adaptation process, making it necessary for health professionals to promote educational actions directed not only at the mother, but at the couple aiming at the practice of breastfeeding.

Solvent suspensions of a high performance polymer, Polyamide-imide (PAI) are widely used in magnetic wire coatings. Here we investigate the effect that the introduction of montmorillonite (MMT) has on PAI. MMT was introduced into an uncured PAI suspension; the sample was then cured by step-wise heat treatment. Polarized optical microscopy was used to choose the best suitable MMT for PAI matrix and to study the distribution of MMT in PAI matrix. Concentration dependent dispersion effect was studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and was confirmed by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to study impact of MMT on glass transition temperature (Tg) and degradation properties of PAI respectively. Micro-hardness testing of PAI nanocomposites was also performed. A concentration dependent state of dispersion was obtained. The glass transition (Tg), degradation and mechanical properties were found to correlate to the state of dispersion.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric conditions affecting adults and afflicts approximately 5% of the world's population. MDD is highly co-morbid with cardiovascular disease, a major source of morbidity and mortality. Although a number of pathological changes observed in MDD may impact cardiovascular health, no single mechanism has been identified that can explain this association. Both MDD and CVD are more common in women, and pregnancy may represent a period of elevated risk for both depression and changes in cardiovascular health that may never fully resolve in the years following pregnancy. This study of 61 pregnant women during their third trimester of pregnancy investigated whether depressive symptoms (as measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, or EPDS) are associated with decreased heart rate variability, a well-known marker of cardiovascular risk. Additionally, this study will investigate whether Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and 2 (PAI-1 and PAI-2) mediate this association. These pro-thrombotic proteins have long been linked to the presence and severity of cardiovascular disease, and an emerging body of evidence suggests that plasma concentrations of these proteins may also be elevated in Major Depressive Disorder. Heart rate variability was significantly reduced among participants who had clinically significant depressive symptoms during the third trimester (EPDS >14), although adjustment for age, body mass index, smoking, education level and use of psychiatric medication fully attenuated this relationship. PAI-1 and PAI-2 measured via ELISA assay in a subset of the study population (n=23) was found to not mediate this association. This study is the first of its kind to evaluate the role of PAI-1 in psychiatric illness during pregnancy, and may serve as the impetus for further research aimed at elucidating the relationship between mental health and cardiovascular risk during gestation. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

Une coagulopathie aigue endogène (EAC) est présente chez 25% des patients de traumatologie dès leur arrivée. Des résultats d’études récentes montrent que cette EAC est liée à l’activation de la voie de la protéine C (aPC). Quelques heures après, se développe un état pro-coagulant associant un niveau abaissé d’aPC et un taux plasmatique élevé de l’inhibiteur de l’activateur du plasminogene (PAI-1). Nous trouvons que l’incidence des pneumopathies associées à la ventilation est significativement augmentée chez ces patients sans toutefois connaître le rôle exact de ces anomalies de coagulation. Basé sur cette hypothèse central de susceptibilité augmentée a l’infection et plus particulièrement aux pneumopathie a P.aeruginosa (PA) le but de ce travail est d’identifier les mécanismes par lesquels PAI-1 et aPC peuvent moduler la perméabilité de la barrière alveolo capillaire et ceci a travers 3 objectifs spécifiques1 – Objectif 1 : déterminer les mécanismes par lequel PA augmente la perméabilité endothéliale. 2 – Objectif 2 : déterminer le rôle d’aPC dans la modulation des effets de PA sur l’œdème pulmonaire lésionnel.3 – Objectif 3 : déterminer le rôle de PAI-1 dans la modulation des effets de PA sur l’œdème pulmonaire lésionnel.En utilisant un inhibiteur spécifique des petites GTPases nous démontrons le rôle centrale joué par RhoA dans le développement de l’œdème pulmonaire induit par PA. PAI-1 et aPC sont impliquées dans le mécanisme lésionnel pulmonaire. aPC et l’inhibition de la voie du RhoA attenue le développement de l’œdème pulmonaire et diminue la dissémination systémique bactérienne. Cependant le blocage invivo de la voie de PAI-1 est associé à une surmortalité et à une augmentation de la charge bactérienne suggérant un rôle de PAI-1 dans l’activation de la réponse inflammatoire nécessaire a l’éradication de PA / A clinically significant acute endogenous coagulopathy (EAC) is present in 25% of major trauma patients upon arrival in the emergency department, before any fluid resuscitation. Results from recent clinical studies indicate that EAC is primarily caused by the activation of the anticoagulant protein C pathway. Several hours later, there is the development of a systemic procoagulant activity associated with low plasma levels of activated protein C (aPC) and an inhibition of the fibrinolysis caused by elevated plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1). We have found that the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is significantly increased in trauma patients with these coagulation abnormalities [6, 9]. However, whether these coagulation abnormalities play a mechanistic role in the increased susceptibility to nosocomial lung infection observed after severe posttraumatic hemorrhage is unknown. Thus, the central hypothesis is that the increased susceptibility to P. aeruginosa (PA) pneumonia following severe trauma with tissue hypoperfusion is mediated in part by these posttraumatic coagulation abnormalities within the airspaces of the lung. Specifically, in this work, we will identify through 3 specific aims the mechanisms by which PAI-1 and aPC modulate PA–mediated increase in alveolar-capillary barrier permeability.1 - Specific Aim 1: To determine the mechanisms by which PA increases lung endothelial permeability.2 - Specific Aim 2 : To determine the Role of aPC in modulating the effect of PA on the lung endothelial barrier function3 - Specific Aim 3 : To determine the Role of PAI-1 in modulating the effect of PA on the lung endothelial barrier functionIn the present work, we demonstrated the central role small GTPases RhoA plays in the increase of permeability induced by pseudomonas infection. PAI-1 and aPC are deeply involved in the control of early lung inflammation. aPC and inhibition of the RhoA pathway attenuates the development of pulmonary edema and decrease in the systemic dissemination of P. aeruginosa. However, in vivo disruption of PAI-1 signalling is associated with higher mortality at 24 h and significant increase in the bacterial burden suggesting that PAI-1 is required for the activation of the innate immune response necessary for the eradication of PA from the distal airspaces of the lung

Procurando compreender o envolvimento da aldosterona (Aldo) na injúria renal, o objetivo deste projeto foi avaliar o efeito do tratamento crônico com Aldo sobre a função renal e a histologia das arteríolas renais, procurando correlacionar os achados com a expressão de genes reguladores do processo de fibrose e apoptose. A Aldo não alterou os parâmetros fisiológicos, PA, ritmo de filtração glomerular (estimado pela depuração plasmática de creatinina), proteinúria e a morfologia das arteríolas corticais. No entanto, aumentou a expressão do RNAm para TGF-&beta;1, PAI-1 e BAX no tecido renal, além da contagem de células TUNEL positivas nos glomérulos. O antagonismo ao receptor MR (pelo uso da espironolactona) aboliu o efeito hormonal somente sobre a expressão do RNAm para BAX e a marcação do DNA degradado (TUNEL), enquanto que o antagonismo ao GR (pelo uso do RU 486) reduziu ou aboliu todos os efeitos da Aldo. Os resultados indicam que a Aldo pode induzir respostas precoces sobre o remodelamento do tecido renal, sem ainda comprometer a função renal ou alterar a PA. Essas respostas foram independentes da sobrecarga de sal e ocorreram por um mecanismo que envolveu os receptores MR e GR. / In order to understand the aldosterone (Aldo) involvement in renal injury, the objective of this project was to evaluate the effect of Aldo chronic treatment on renal function and renal arterioles histology, trying to correlate the findings with the regulatory genes of fibrosis and apoptosis. Aldo did not change the physiological parameters, BP, glomerular filtration rate (estimated by creatinina clearance), proteinuria and cortical arterioles morphology. However, Aldo increased mRNA expression for TGF-&beta;1, PAI-1 and BAX in renal tissue, as well as TUNEL-positive cell count in glomeruli. MR receptor antagonism (by spironolactone) abolished only the hormonal effect on the mRNA expression for BAX and degraded DNA labeling (TUNEL); whereas GR antagonism (by RU 486) reduced or abolished all Aldo effects. The results indicated that Aldo can induce early responses on renal tissue remodeling, without altering renal function or BP. These responses were salt independent and involved MR and GR receptors.

In this sense, we looked forward both to some characteristics of this relationship and the attitude of a young adult woman in her professional work. The analysis also permitted the discussion about these characteristics whether they were attached to the image of the father or to the parental complex, thus, affecting or not the behavior of a woman in her professional environment. In addition, we also examined a partial integration of the animus in this crucial moment of the life of a woman. The qualitatative method was employed in this search and semi-structured interviews were conducted with six young adult women. The participants´ mean age was between 28 and 35 years of age. The results indicate that the relationship father-daughter is significant for the women both in terms of development of affection as well as in terms of guidance to her career. Anyway, we realized that the majority of women are still attached to one or other parental complex, so, while the influence of the father is important at the moment of choosing a career, conversely, the representation of the mother works as an anti-model . We also realized that the dimension of the animus of action influences most of our interviewees. In this way, the animus has been partially integrated in the life of a woman, playing an important role in this particularly period of her life / Esta pesquisa procurou compreender o relacionamento pai-filha, e suas conseqüências no desenvolvimento da mulher no trabalho profissional. Buscou-se desenvolver de que forma determinadas características dessa relação refletem-se no posicionamento profissional das mulheres adultas jovens, bem como, se elas estão presas à imagem do pai ou do complexo paterno no desenvolvimento de seu papel profissional. Também procuramos investigar se ocorre a emergência de aspectos do animus nesse momento da vida da mulher. Para o desenvolvimento desse estudo, partimos do princípio de que o pai exerce uma função importante na vida da filha e contribui, assim, para a discriminação dos aspectos Masculinos da mulher em relação à figura paterna. Sendo assim, o objetivo foi verificar como determinadas características da relação pai-filha se refletiram no posicionamento profissional de mulheres adultas jovens, utilizando para isso o referencial da Psicologia Analítica. O método escolhido foi qualititativo, tendo como população de estudo seis mulheres jovens adultas, entre 28 e 35 anos de idade. O procedimento adotado foi o da entrevista semidirigida, com roteiro previamente construído. Os resultados encontrados apontam para o vínculo muito forte com o pai e também com a mãe, destacando que a maioria das mulheres entrevistadas encontra-se ainda vinculada a algum complexo parental. Nesta pesquisa, a mãe parece ter servido como antimodelo , para a maioria dessas mulheres, na construção de seus papéis profissionais. Percebemos, também, que a dimensão do animus da ação já se encontra parcialmente integrada na maioria das mulheres estudadas, na primeira metade da vida
