Inserimos na métrica acústica a teoria não-comutativa, a fim de vericar as correções que resultam desta teoria. Neste trabalho, consideramos o princípio da incerteza generalizado, no formalismo de tunelamento via método de Hamilton-Jacobi, para determinar a temperatura Hawking e a entropia quântica corrigida para buracos negros acústicos não comutativo sem 2+1 dimensões. Em nossos resultados obtemos uma entropia de área, comum termo de correção logarítmica em ordem dominante um termo, em ordem menor, proporcional à temperatura de radiação associada com os buracos negros acústicos comutativos e um termo extra que depende de uma carga conservada. Assim, como no caso gravitacional, não há necessidade de apresentar o corte ultravioleta e as divergências são eliminadas. / Acoustic black hole study resembles the gravitational black hole as follows: we verify Hawking radiation phenomenon the presence of an event horizon, the possibility to calculate its temperature, also known as Hawking temperature, and we obtain a metric that describes the black hole geometry. We insert in the acoustic metric theory the non commutative theory in order to verify the corrections that result from this theory. In this study, we consider the generalized uncertainty principle in tunneling formalism by Hamilton-Jacobi method to determine Hawking temperature and quantum entropy corrected for non commutative acoustic black holes in 2+1 dimensions. In our results, we obtain an entropy are a with a termoflogarith mic correction in ruling order a termina smaller order, proportional to the radiation temperature associated with the commutative acoustic black holes and an extra term that depends on a conserved charge. Thus as in the gravitational case, there is noneed to present the ultraviolet cut-off and differences are eliminated.

This dissertation examines the impact of trauma on information-seeking behaviors and decision-making processes. Essay 1 includes a qualitative analysis of the transcripts obtained from interviews with four military service members diagnosed with PTSD. The results showed that 75% of this small sample population exhibited addictive behavior that was presented in their information behaviors. All four members indicated that the excessive extent to which they seek information is related to the perceived importance of the information and their level of trust in the sources. Low trust in information sources increases the number of sources searched for validation in this population. Essay 2 involved the collection and analysis of survey data. The results of the stepwise backward regression show that two trauma variables (adult sexual assault, sudden fear) have a significant combined negative effect on decision-making in this population. The analysis and results of a different survey are presented in Essay 3. The stepwise logistic regression analysis results conducted on the summated scales developed showed a strong positive link between trust in scientific experts for scientific information and the dichotomous dependent variable trust in social media for news. The research conducted in this dissertation extends the understanding of how trauma affects people's information-seeking habits and decision-making processes. The findings have implications for how to communicate, policies relevant to information dissemination, and mental health measures. Future research is suggested to understand these behaviors and potential treatments better.
