Space by slowground : A critical look on our pace in work lifeGökçe Bor, Ayşe January 2015 (has links)
The increase in the pace of life is becoming very tangible yet it is not visible to us in a qualitative way. Technological advancements offer us a life without friction where we can go full speed, but with this change we lose our windows for reflection and slowing down. Our pace is mostly determined by people or machines around us and we rarely have a chance to listen to our own rhythm, users and designers alike. With this project, the sustainability of the human being was questioned, particularly in the work life, where our pace is the highest. An exploratory and partially critical approach was engaged in the process and different methodologies have been explored. The result, a system of objects, aim to visualize one’s pace while criticizing the frictionless environments we create as designers.

La experiencia universitaria de los y las jóvenes de ingreso PACE en la Universidad de ChileGuajardo Arcos, Camila Fernanda 28 December 2018 (has links)
Memoria para optar al título de Socióloga / La siguiente memoria de título presenta una investigación de tipo exploratoria, cuyo objetivo versa sobre conocer la experiencia universitaria que han tenido los y las jóvenes que ingresaron a la Universidad de Chile mediante el Programa PACE en el año 2017. Entendiendo que el actual escenario de la educación superior chilena se caracteriza por un aumento de la matrícula, pero con la continuación y reproducción de inequidades en el acceso y permanencia de los sectores más vulnerables a la educación superior, es que desde el Estado se impulsa el Programa de Acompañamiento y Acceso Efectivo a la Educación Superior (PACE), con el objetivo de restituir el derecho a la educación superior a estudiantes de sectores vulnerables. La llegada de la primera generación de estudiantes PACE la Universidad de Chile en el 2017 resulta un hito de gran relevancia e interés de estudio, por integrarse a una universidad altamente selectiva. Para conocer esta experiencia universitaria se analizaron entrevistas en profundidad llevadas a cabo por la Unidad de Aprendizaje de la Universidad de Chile mediante la técnica de análisis de contenido, y con un enfoque teórico abordado desde la sociología de la experiencia. Los resultados indican que existen experiencias universitarias disimiles para estos y estas estudiantes, marcado por la mayor o menor gradualidad de los componentes de la experiencia, esto es, mayor o menor proyecto o estrategia de estos estudiantes, vocación e integración. Se cree además que esta experiencia puede mejorarse en futuras generaciones si se consolidan aspectos deficitarios de la gestión institucional

The Relationship Between Pace Characteristics of Distance Runs and Criterion Measures of EnduranceSanchez, Robert J. 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between treadmill time, maximal oxygen consumption and pace characteristics of the 1.5 and 3 mile runs and to compare the distances and pace characteristics as predictors of aerobic capacity. Subjects were 70 college aged males, ages 18 to 25, enrolled in jogging and conditioning classes at North Texas State University. Three tests were administered: the 1.5 mile run, the 3 mile run and the Bruce treadmill test. The data were analyzed using correlations and factor analysis. Conclusions of the investigation were (1) the 1.5 and 3 mile runs are valid measures of aerobic capacity, (2) the 3 mile run does not significantly increase the correlation between VO2max and endurance runs and (3) pacing characteristics are evident in the 1.5 and 3 mile runs.

Ecological consequences of personality in sharksDhellemmes, Félicie 13 December 2021 (has links)
In der Verhaltensökologie hat das Interesse an der Persönlichkeit von Tieren in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten zugenommen und man geht davon aus, dass verschiedene Verhaltenstypen wichtige ökologische und evolutionäre Konsequenzen haben. Diese Konsequenzen sind besonders ausgeprägt, wenn eine konstante Verhaltensweise mit anderen Verhaltensweisen (sog. Verhaltenssyndrome) oder mit Life-History-Merkmalen (sog. Pace-of-life-Syndrome) korreliert. Bisher haben Studien zu Verhaltens- und Pace-of-life-Syndromen zu keinen schlüssigen Ergebnissen geführt – manche Hypothesen wurden bestätigt, andere jedoch nicht. Man nimmt an, dass Kovariation zwischen Merkmalen von der Umwelt geprägt ist. Da jedoch Tiere in Gefangenschaft in diesen Studien überrepräsentiert sind, kann dies ein möglicher Grund für die recht uneindeutigen Ergebnisse sein.
Um diese Wissenslücke zu schließen, erforschte ich die Entstehung von Verhaltens- und Pace-of-life-Syndromen in einer Wildpopulation juveniler Haie, die relevanten ökologischen Bedingungen ausgesetzt waren. Ich untersuchte (1) ob ein Syndrom zwischen zwei konstanten Verhaltensweisen besteht und ob das Auftreten des Syndroms kontextabhängig ist, (2) ob ein Trade-off zwischen Wachstum und Mortalität durch Explorationsverhalten vermittelt wird, und (3) ob Persönlichkeit das Nahrungshabitat der Haie vorhersagen kann und ob dieser Zusammenhang kontextabhängig ist.
Ich dokumentierte ein Verhaltenssyndrom das über Jahre und Standorte hinweg inkonsistent war und von inter-individueller Konkurrenz abhing. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen Explorationsverhalten und einem Wachstums-Mortalitäts-Trade-off war nur bei geringem Prädationsrisiko zu beobachten. Zudem sagte das Explorationsverhalten Nahrungshabitate nur bei geringem Prädationsrisiko vorher.
Zusammengenommen deuten diese Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass die ökologischen Bedingungen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entstehung und Ausprägung von Persönlichkeits- und Pace-of-life-Syndromen spielen. / In behavioural ecology, interest in the study of animal personality (i.e. consistent individual differences in behaviour across time and/or context) has increased in the last two decades as it is believed to have important ecological and evolutionary consequences. These consequences are especially pronounced when a behaviour that is consistent covaries with other consistent behaviours (i.e. behavioural syndrome) or with life-history traits (i.e. pace-of-life syndrome). So far, studies of behavioural and pace-of-life-syndromes have produced ambiguous outcomes (e.g. hypotheses are sometimes verified and others not), and the prominence of studies on captive animals (i.e. as opposed to wild animals) in the literature may be a reason for inconclusive results as trait covariation has been hypothesized to be environmentally driven.
To address this knowledge gap, I investigated the emergence of behavioural and pace-of-life-syndromes in a wild population of juvenile sharks subject to relevant ecological pressures (e.g. predation risk, inter-individual competition). I explored (1) whether a behavioural syndrome existed between two consistent traits (exploration and sociability) and whether the appearance of the syndrome was context dependent, (2) whether a growth-mortality trade-off was mediated by exploration personality and (3) whether personality could predict the foraging habitat of sharks and whether this link was context-dependent.
First, I observed a behavioural syndrome between sociability and exploration personality which was inconsistent across years and locations and was dependent on inter-individual competition. Then, I found the association between exploration personality and a growth-mortality trade-off to only be observable in low predation risk. Similarly, I found that exploration personality only predicted wild foraging habitat when predation risk was low.
Overall, these results suggest that ecological conditions play a crucial role in the emergence and the shaping of personality and trait association. This thesis offers a possible explanation for the ambiguous results of previous studies and highlights the importance of increasing the focus on wild study systems that are subject to relevant ecological pressures in future animal personality research.

Individual differences in Time Insensitivity: Examining links to emotions and cognitive performance on time pressure tasksColognori, Daniela January 2004 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Lisa Feldman Barrett / The aim of the present study was to examine whether individual differences in Time Insensitivity are related to subjective experiences of emotion and cognitive performance. Sixty-five undergraduates (52% female) completed self-report measures of cognitive flexibility and provided subjective self-reports of emotions following two time pressured cognitive tasks. As predicted, Time Insensitivity was related to self-reported cognitive flexibility, better cognitive performance during a time pressured task, as well as less negative subjective experience in response to these tasks. The results of the present study suggest that Time Insensitivity may have some beneficial outcomes. Limitations and implications for future directions are discussed. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2004. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Avaliação postural da coluna lombar, dos membros inferiores, e análise da força reação do solo em adolescentes usuárias de calçados de salto alto / Posture assessment of the lumbar spine, lower limbs, and analysis of ground reaction force in adolescent users of high-heeled shoePezzan, Patricia Angelica de Oliveira 31 August 2009 (has links)
Durante a infância e a adolescência, ocorrem várias mudanças posturais, em função dos ajustes necessários para a estruturação e definição da postura. A postura sofre mudanças por causa da influência hormonal que ocorre com o início da puberdade e com o crescimento musculoesquelético. Sendo assim, as fases pré puberal e puberal, são cruciais para o desenvolvimento de uma boa postura. Além disso, alterações de sobrecarga durante esta fase, podem interferi no desempenho do aparelho locomotor. Dentre os fatores, que influenciam essas variáveis, está o uso dos calçados de salto alto que vêm se tornando cada vez mais precoce e freqüente nesta população. O objetivo, deste estudo foi avaliar a influência dos calçados de salto alto na postura e na marcha de adolescentes ente 13 a 20 de idade. Foi realizado com adolescentes do sexo feminino, para o estudo postural e impressão plantar avaliadamos 50 adolescentes do grupo não usuárias (GNU) de calçados de salto alto e 50 do grupo usuárias (GU). O estudo postural foi feito por fotografias nas condições descalça e com salto anabella e analisadas pelo software SAPO. Os ângulos medidos foram: lordose lombar, alinhamento horizontal da pelve, ângulo do joelho, ângulo tíbio társico, ângulo frontal do membro inferior direito (D) e esquerdo (E), ângulo Q (D) e (E) e ângulo do retropé (D) e (E). Através da impressão plantar analisamos o Índice de Chippaux-Smirak. O estudo da marcha foi realizado com 11 adolescentes no GNU e 9 do GU. Através da plataforma de força analisamos a força reação do solo nas condições descalça e com o salto. Os dados foram submetidos a análises descritivas. Foi adotado um nível de significância de 5%. Na comparação entre as condições, encontramos com o uso do salto no GNU: retificação lombar, retroversão pélvica, aumento do ângulo tíbio-társico, aumento do valgo de joelhos e patelar e varo de retropé. Já para GU, encontramos as mesmas modificações que no GNU, porém com variações diferentes e com exceção apenas para o ângulo lombar que apresentou hiperlordose e ângulo pélvico com anterversão. Na comparação entre os grupos, observamos na condição descalça que o GU apresentou menor ângulo da lordose lombar, maior anteversão, menor ângulo tíbio társico, maior valgismo de joelho e patela. Já na condição com o salto o GU apresentou o ângulo de lordose lombar menor, ângulo pélvico com postura inversa ao do GNU, acentuação do valgismo patelar que manteve os grupos diferentes e embora ambos tenham apresentado varo de retropé, o GU mostrou um valor maior. O arco longitudinal se mostrou diferente com valores menores para o GU e classificadas com pés normais enquanto que o GNU foi classificado com pés intermediários. Na marcha, o tempo de apoio total e menor força vertical na comparação entre os dois grupos se apresentaram menor para GU nas duas condições. A taxa de crescimento do segundo pico foi maior na condição descalça para GU e a taxa de crescimento do pico passivo foi maior na condição descalça em ambos os grupos. A variável pico passivo apresentou-se em ambos os grupos nas duas condições. Concluímos que o calçado de salto rígido influenciou de forma significante os ângulos posturais, tanto na observação aguda no GNU, como na observação de uso crônico como no GU, assim como, observado no arco plantar e em algumas variáveis da força reação do solo vertical. / During childhood and adolescence, there are several posture changes depending on the settings necessary for the structuring and definition of posture. The posture change because of the hormonal influence that occurs with the onset of puberty and the musculoskeletal growth. Thus, the pre pubertal and pubertal stages are crucial for the development of good posture. Moreover, changes of overload during this phase, may interfere with the performance of the locomotor system. Among the factors that influence these variables, is the use of high-heeled shoes that are becoming increasingly early and frequent in this population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of high-heeled shoes in posture and pace of adolescents between 13 to 20 of age. Was conducted with female adolescents in the study posture and printing plant of the group evaluated 50 adolescents not using (GNU) of high-heeled shoes and 50 of the group users (GU). The study was done by photos at the postural conditions barefoot and Anabella heeland analyzed by software SAPO. The angles were measured: lumbar lordosis, horizontal alignment of the pelvis, knee angle, tepid-tarsus angle, frontal angle of the right lower limb (D) and left (E), angle Q (D) and (E) and angle of the hindfoot ( D) and (E). By printing plant we analyzed the index of Chippaux-Smirak. The study of the march was conducted with 11 adolescents in the GNU and 9 of GU. Through the platform of force to analyze the ground reaction force in accordance with the barefoot and with the heel. The data were submitted to descriptive analysis. Was adopted a significance level of 5%. In the comparison between conditions, we find with the heel using in the GNU: lumbar adjustment, pelvic retroversion, increase of the tepid-tarsus angle, increase in the valgus knees and patellar varus and hindfoot of. For GU, we find the same changes as in GNU, but with different variations and except only for the lumbar angle that showed hyperlordosis and pelvic angle with anterversion. In the comparison between groups, we observed in the barefoot condition that the GU had smaller angle of lumbar lordosis, increased anteversion, lower tepid-tarsus angle, more the knee and patella valgus. Already provided with the heel, GU had a lower lumbar lordosis angle, pelvic angle with the inverse posture of the GNU, stress of the patellar valgus that kept the difference between the groups and although both have made the hindfoot varus, the GU has a higher value. The longitudinal arch was different with lower values for the GU and classified with normal feet while GNU was classified with intermediaries feet. In pace, the time of support and lower total vertical force in the comparison between the two groups presented lower for GU in the two conditions. The growth rate of the second peak was higher in the barefoot condition for GU and the growth rate peak was higher in the passive condition barefoot in both groups. The variable peak liabilities is presented in both groups in both conditions. We conclude that the footwear heel hard to significantly influence the postural angles, both in acute observation in GNU, and the observation of chronic use as in GU, as well as observed in the plantar arch and some variables of the vertical ground reaction force.
