Participaram 70 crianças, divididas em dois grupos: TDAH e controle. Foram aplicadas tarefas de habilidade fonológica (consciência fonológica e memória de trabalho fonológica), nomeação seriada rápida, vocabulário, QI, atenção, flexibilidade cognitiva e leitura (precisão, fluência e compreensão). Análises de regressão linear múltipla indicaram que, ao controlar idade e QI, a nomeação seriada rápida e a consciência fonológica contribuíram fortemente para precisão, fluência e compreensão de leitura; o TDAH influenciou somente na compreensão. O TDAH parece influenciar negativamente na compreensão de leitura, visto que os componentes da função executiva, monitoramento, planejamento e inibição de resposta, provavelmente, interferem na compreensão. / The study investigated the influence of cognitive variables and the influence of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on reading. Seventy children from second to 7th grade took part in this study. These children were divided into two groups: ADHD and control. Tasks of phonological ability (phonological awareness and phonological work memory), rapid automatized naming, vocabulary, IQ, attention, cognitive flexibility and reading (accuracy, fluency and comprehension) were applied. Multiple linear regression analyzes indicated that, when controlling for age, IQ and ADHD, rapid automatized naming and phonological awareness strongly contributed to reading accuracy, reading fluency and reading comprehension. ADHD was negatively related to reading comprehension, probably because components of executive function as monitoring, planning, and response inhibition are likely to be important for comprehension.

A autora se propõe a fazer uma avaliação qualitativa dos trabalhos publicados de 1998 a 2002, nas Revistas The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) e Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (RBO). Após o levantamento da literatura foram classificados os trabalhos por qualidade metodológica e foram listados por ordem cronológica. Os trabalhos foram lidos e classificados nas duas revistas, checados por mais um avaliador além da autora e classificados segundo os níveis previstos no projeto diretrizes AMB/CFM. Como resultado observou-se, pela avaliação das tabelas com análise estatística que, nos primeiros anos predominavam os artigos de nível C e D na RBO, enquanto no JBJS os artigos eram distribuídos eqüitativamente entre todos os níveis. No ano de 2002, ambas as revistas aumentaram o percentual de artigos de nível A. Os resultados foram comentados face à literatura consultada. A autora concluiu que a RBO e o JBJS mostraram perfis diferentes de publicação no período analisado, apresentando, no entanto tendência a melhora metodológica em ambas as publicações, e que os resultados indicam a necessidade da divulgação dos critérios de excelência metodológica entre autores e profissionais da saúde em nosso meio. Em anexos foram identificados termos que são usualmente empregados em epidemiologia e metodologia científica, bem como definidos os níveis de evidência considerados nos quais foram distribuídos os trabalhos analisados. / The authors proposes to do a qualitative valuation for published articles from 1998 to 2002, in magazines The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Am and Brazilian Orthopaedic Magazine. After searching in literature, the articles were classified according to methodological quality and they were organized by chronological order. The articles of two magazines were read, classified and checked by the authoress and another valuator due to the levels in Directive Project. As result, by valuation of tables with statistical analysis, in first years the articles of level C and D were predominant in Brazilian Orthopaedic Magazine, in JBJS the articles were separeted equitably among all levels. In 2002, both magazines increased the percentual of level A articles. The authoress concluded that two magazines presented different aspects of publication in that period of time, however both publications have showed methodological improvement. The results also showed that the standards of methodological excellence must be known among authors and health profissionals. Terms which are frequently used in epidemiology and scientific methodology were identified in annexed and the levels of evidence of analysed articles were defined.

A pesquisa se volta para os mecanismos de enunciação nos sitcoms de câmera única e a produção de comicidade por parte do sujeito enunciador que emerge do texto audiovisual. O trabalho inicia com uma abordagem do gênero sitcom, considerando-o como uma categoria cultural, analisando, em seguida, como o sitcom se constituiu, ao longo das décadas de sua história, em uma variedade de temas e formas que negam qualquer tentativa de abordagem definicional do gênero.Propomos, então, uma análise da oposição entre os modos de produção recorrentes no gênero, o multicâmera e o câmera única. Nestes, observam-se procedimentos de encenação, cinegrafia e edição que produzem material audiovisual com características bem distintas, opondo formas textuais diferentes no interior de um mesmo gênero. Tais modos de produção (e tais formas textuais) vão se articular com as teorias da subjetividade audiovisual na identificação de uma instância mediadora dos diferentes sitcoms. Para tal, buscamos compreender o processo de enunciação audiovisual, perscrutando as formulações oriundas da linguística e revisando o arcabouço teórico das teorias da enunciação na literatura e, especialmente, no cinema. Buscamos também o arcabouço teórico que instrumentaliza a pesquisa para identificar os mecanismos de levam ao riso, revisando as principais formulações teóricas que explicam o fenômeno (a Teoria da Superioridade, a Teoria da Incongruência e a Teoria do Alívio). A partir de tais formulações, propomos uma taxonomia dos sintagmas cômicos que nos permita isolar os ocorrências de gags, eventos cômicos e mordacidade. É neste ponto que isolamos o sujeito da enunciação no contexto do sitcom, observando suas diferenças no sitcom de multicâmera e no sitcom de câmera única. Tomado este último, identificamos a pluralidade de estilos que resulta de mudanças na estética televisual americana ao longo das décadas de 1980 e 1990, em fenômenos conhecidos como televisualidade e continuidade intensificada, para chegar aos single camera sitcoms do começo do século XXI. Desta leva de programas, tomamos nosso objeto de análise, o sitcom Arrested Development, para analisar de que forma o seu sujeito enunciador vai além de sua função de mediador, ultrapassando-a em favor de uma atitude incisiva como comentador da diegese, francamente fazendo rir pelo modo como mostra personagens e situações. / The research turns to the utterance mechanisms of single camera sitcoms and the making of comic by the utterance subject that comes from the audiovisual text. This work starts with an approach of sitcom genre, taking it as an cultural category, analyzing, then, how the sitcom constituted itself through the decades of its history, in a variety of themes and forms that denies any trying of definitional approach of the gender. Then, we propose an analysis of the opposition between the more usual modes of production of this gender, the multicam and the single camera. On these modes of production, we observe proceedings on staging, cinematography and edition that produces audiovisual material with very distinct characteristics, opposing textual forms in the same television gender. Such modes of production (and such textual forms) articulates with the audiovisual subjectivity theories identifying an utterance instance on different sitcoms. For such, we search understand the process of audiovisual utterance, searching on theories formulations arising from linguistics and reviewing the theory body from utterance on literature and, specially, cinema. We search also the theories that instrumentalizes this research for to identify the mechanisms that takes us to laugh, reviewing the main theoretical formulations that explains the phenomenon of laughing (the Superiority Theory, the Incongruence Theory and the Relief Theory). From such formulations, we propose a taxonomy of comic sintagms that allows us to isolate the occurrence of gags, comic events and wit. It is on this point that we isolate the subject of utterance in the sitcom context, looking for the differences between the multicam sitcom and the single camera sitcom. Taking the last one, we identify the plurality of styles that comes from the esthetical changes on American television by the decades of 1980 and 1990, known as televisuality and intensified continuity, to get to the single camera sitcoms of the beginning of XXI. From this wave of shows, we take the sitcom Arrested Development, to analyze the way its utterance subject goes beyond the mediation role, acting incisively as a diegesys commentator, frankly making us laugh by the way it shows characters and situations.

Publicadas em 1968, as Memórias de um gigolô, romance de Marcos Rey, têm sido lidas pela crítica a partir de categorias genéricas como romance-folhetim e narrativa picaresca. Ainda que descrevam alguns aspectos de composição do livro, as generalizações da crítica deixam em segundo plano a presença de um universo brasileiro também em operação no romance, e diluem, por outro lado, os dados de historicidade contidos dentro dele. De acordo com nossa perspectiva, esses dados históricos podem ser recolhidos através da caracterização do narrador como um cafetão que possui habilidade com o manejo das palavras, e que se considera um intelectual subdesenvolvido. Levando em conta essa imagem em negativo do homem de letras brasileiro como gigolô das palavras, o objetivo deste trabalho é examinar o romance de Marcos Rey a partir de dois contextos significativos: a trajetória profissional construída pelo autor no coração das indústrias do entretenimento desde os anos 1950, e o momento histórico vivido pelo Brasil nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, tempos de ditadura militar e de consolidação da indústria cultural no país. As Memórias de um gigolô também são vistas aqui como ponto de convergência para os futuros rumos da ficção de Marcos Rey, cada vez mais aberta à presença de personagens ligados ao universo das letras. Através da análise de dois de seus contos, Soy loco por ti América! (1977) e O bar dos cento e tantos dias (1977), veremos de que modo essas questões se integram à sua obra posterior. / Published in 1968, Marcos Reys novel Memoirs of a gigolo has been categorized by critics in broad literary genres such as the serial novel and the picaresque narrative. These readings do not draw enough attention, though, to the presence of a typically Brazilian social universe in Reys books, thereby diluting its marks of historicity. This dissertation seeks to assess the historical dimension of Reys work by focusing on the novels narrator, a pimp who is endowed with unusual literacy and considers himself to be an underdeveloped intellectual. Through this negative version of the Brazilian literary men as literary gigolo, it analyzes Reys novel from a double perspective: the writers professional trajectory in the entertainment industry starting in the 1950s, and the historical context of the 1960s and 1970s, times both of a military dictatorship in the country and of the consolidation of its national culture industry. Memórias de um gigolo is also considered, in the present work, as a blueprint to Reys subsequent work, increasingly centered on characters that are related to the literary universe. Through the analysis of two short stories, Soy loco por ti América! (1977) and Bar dos cento e tantos dias (1977), we try to understand in which ways these themes are ingrained in Reys later work.

INTRODUÇÃO: O crescimento e a progressão de diversos tipos de tumores dependem da angiogênese, isto é, a formação de novos vasos sanguíneos. Fatores da família do VEGF (VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR) são potentes mediadores da angiogênese e níveis elevados destes fatores podem ser detectados em vários tumores humanos. Outras proteínas como NDRG1, osteonectina, HIF-1 e galectina-3 encontram-se associadas, de modo indireto, à angiogênese. MÉTODOS: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a expressão imunoistoquímica de NDRG1, osteonectina, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR, HIF-1 e galectina-3 em 265 lesões benignas e malignas da tireóide por tissue microarray (TMA), incluindo tireóide normal, bócio, adenoma folicular, carcinoma papilífero, carcinoma folicular e metástases de carcinoma papilífero e folicular da tireóide. Lâminas em diferentes níveis do bloco de TMA foram submetidas à reação imunoistoquímica utilizando-se anticorpos específicos contra NDRG1, osteonectina, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR, HIF-1, galectina-3. Foi realizada uma avaliação semiquantitativa da expressão destas proteínas, analisando-se a intensidade de coloração e a porcentagem de células positivas para cada marcador. RESULTADOS: De um modo geral, a expressão de NDRG1, osteonectina, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR, HIF-1 e galectina-3 foi maior nos carcinomas de tireóide em relação ao bócio e adenoma folicular. Dentre as proteínas estudadas, a galectina-3 foi aquela que apresentou melhor acurácia diagnóstica na distinção entre lesões benignas e malignas da tireóide, com uma sensibilidade 64,1% e especificidade de 94,4%. Nos carcinomas de tireóide, a expressão de NDRG1, VEGF-A, VEGF-C e HIF-1 apresentou correlação estatística significativa com estádio TNM mais avançado e alto risco pelo método AMES. A análise multivariada revelou que a idade 45 anos, o tamanho tumoral maior do que 4,0 cm, o estádio IV do TNM e a perda de expressão de galectina-3 foram fatores que contribuíram para a recorrência ou óbito em pacientes com carcinoma de tireóide. CONCLUSÕES: Nos carcinomas de tireóide, a expressão de NDRG1, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, HIF-1 se correlacionou com tumores mais avançados. Com exceção da galectina-3, nenhuma das proteínas estudadas apresentou impacto na sobrevida dos pacientes com carcinoma de tireóide. Nestes pacientes, a perda de expressão de galectina-3 foi um fator de risco para recorrência ou óbito. / INTRODUCTION: The growth and progression of different types of tumors depend on angiogenesis, i.e., the formation of new blood vessels. Members of the VEGF family (VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR) are potent mediators of angiogenesis and elevated levels of these factors can be detected in various human tumors. Other proteins such as NDRG1, osteonectin, HIF-1 and galectin-3 are indirectly associated with angiogenesis. METHODS: The objective of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of NDRG1, osteonectin, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR, HIF-1 and galectin-3 in 265 benign and malignant thyroid lesions by tissue microarray (TMA), including normal thyroid, goiter, follicular adenoma, papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, and papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma metastases. Slides obtained from different levels of the TMA block were submitted to immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies against NDRG1, osteonectin, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR, HIF-1, and galectin-3. The expression of these proteins was analyzed semiquantitatively, evaluating the intensity of staining and the percentage of positive cells for each marker. RESULTS: In general, the expression of NDRG1, osteonectin, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, Flk-1/KDR, HIF-1 and galectin-3 was higher in thyroid carcinomas when compared to goiter and follicular adenoma. Among the proteins studied, galectin-3 presented the best diagnostic accuracy in the distinction between benign and malignant thyroid lesions, with a sensitivity of 64.1% and specificity of 94.4%. In thyroid carcinomas, the expression of NDRG1, VEGF-A, VEGF-C and HIF-1 was significantly correlated with a more advanced TNM stage and AMES high risk. Multivariate analysis revealed that age 45 years, tumor size > 4.0 cm, TNM stage IV and loss of expression of galectin-3 were associated with recurrence or death in patients with thyroid carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: In thyroid carcinomas, the expression of NDRG1, VEGF-A, VEGF-C and HIF-1 is correlated with more advanced tumors. Except for galectin-3, none of the proteins studied had an impact on the survival of patients with thyroid carcinoma. In these patients, loss of expression of galectin-3 was a risk factor for recurrence or death.

O melanoma cutâneo é a neoplasia de pele de maior mortalidade e grande imprevisibilidade na sua evolução. Na doença disseminada, as opções terapêuticas são pouco eficazes. A pesquisa de novos marcadores tumorais permite a melhor compreensão da patogênese do melanoma e possibilita a descoberta de alvos moleculares. A proteína Dermicidina (DCD) foi identificada entre os 9 genes de uma assinatura gênica de predição de diagnóstico clínico do melanoma humano, porém vários autores divergem sobre o papel desta na doença e os mecanismos moleculares pelos quais a DCD atua nos tumores permanecem incertos. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o papel da DCD na tumorigênese do melanoma maligno e correlacionar sua expressão com dados clínicos, demográficos e patológicos dos pacientes. Através da técnica de imuno-histoquímica em lâminas de TMAs (tissue-microarray), o padrão de expressão de DCD foi analisado em tecido tumoral de duas coortes de pacientes, a primeira com 53 casos tratados no Hospital A.C. Camargo, predominantemente caucasianos, e a segunda com 48 casos, todos asiáticos, obtidos comercialmente da empresa IMGENEX. A análise in situ da Dermicidina mostrou que a proteína está expressa de forma heterogênea nas células tumorais, e pode ocorrer tanto em tumores amelanocíticos como melanocíticos. Em melanomas primários, a expressão de DCD foi mais frequente em tumores localizados nas regiões do tronco e membros superiores, já nas metástases, a proteína foi detectada predominantemente em células em transito nos linfonodos (69,23% dos casos). Analisando os resultados dos 101 pacientes das duas coortes em conjunto, pelo método de Kaplan-Meier, foi confirmado que nos indivíduos com tumores DCD-negativo, a taxa de sobrevida foi de 65,54% em 60 meses, e de 62,86% em 130 meses. Já indivíduos com tumor DCD-positivo tiveram sobrevida de 43,33% em 5 anos, e 28,12% em 130 meses, sendo a diferença significante entre os grupos (p=0,0229). A taxa de óbito dos pacientes com tumor DCD-positivo foi mais elevada, 56%, quando comparada à taxa dos indivíduos com tumor DCDnegativo, 33,33% (p=0,0281). Também foi encontrada uma tendência de tumores expressando DCD se relacionarem a pacientes com idade superior a 50 anos (p=0,1057). Em uma consulta de 4 estudos diferentes que reuniram os dados de sequenciamento de DNA de tumores de 515 pacientes, observamos que o gene DCD, em melanomas, não se encontra predominantemente amplificado, mas sim mutado. A substituição E43K foi a alteração mais frequente, correspondendo a 70% dos casos com mutação no gene. Ao relacionarmos os casos disponíveis de mutação em DCD com os genes BRAF, NRAS, MITF, CDKN2A e ERBB4, encontrou-se uma associação com a mutação BRAF V600E nos casos em que ocorria a mutação DCD E43K. Por ter alta frequência em melanomas (variando entre 45 e 54%), e ser um indicador de pior prognóstico para a neoplasia, a expressão de DCD pode ser considerada um potencial biomarcador / Cutaneous melanoma is the skin neoplasia with the highest mortality rate and great unpredictability in its evolution. In disseminated disease, the treatment options are little effective. The research for new tumor markers allows a better understanding of the pathogenesis of melanoma and enables the discovery of molecular targets. The Dermcidin protein (DCD) was identified among the nine genes of a gene signature predicting clinical diagnosis of human melanoma, although many authors differ on its role in the disease and the molecular mechanisms by which DCD acts in tumors remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of DCD in the tumorigenesis of malignant melanoma and to correlate its expression with clinical, demographic and pathologic data of patients. Using the technique of immunohistochemistry in TMA slides (tissue microarray), the expression pattern of DCD was analyzed in tumoral tissue of two cohorts of patients, the first with 53 cases treated in hospital AC Camargo, predominantly caucasians, and the second with 48 cases, all Asians, commercially obtained from IMGENEX company. The in situ analysis of Dermcidin showed that the protein is expressed in a heterogeneous manner in tumor cells, and can occur in non-melanocytic as well as in melanocytic tumors. In the primary melanoma, DCD expression was more seen in tumors located in the regions of torso and upper limbs. In the metastases, the protein was found predominantly in cells in transit in the lymph nodes (69.23% of cases). Analyzing the 101 patients of the two cohorts together, by the Kaplan-Meier method, it was confirmed that patients with DCD-negative, the survival rate was 65.54% in 60 months, and 62.86% in 130 months, while the group of patients with DCD-positive tumor had 43.33% in 5 years, and 22.12% in 130 months, knowing that a difference between the groups was significative (p=0.0229). The death rate of patients with DCD-positive tumor was higher, 56%, when compared with the death rate of individuals with DCD-negative tumor, 33.33% (p=0.0281). It was also found a trend of tumors expressing DCD related to patients older than 50 years (p=0.1057). In a search of 4 different studies grouping the DNA sequencing tumor of 515 patients we observed that the DCD gene, in melanoma, is not predominantly amplified, but mutated. The E43K substitution was the most frequent alteration, corresponding to 70% of cases of gene mutation. When comparing the available cases of mutations in DCD with the genes BRAF, NRAS, MITF, CDKN2A, ERBB4, we found an association with the BRAF V600E mutation in cases where occurred the DCD E43K. By having high frequency in melanomas (ranging between 45 and 54%) and being an indicator of poor prognosis for the neoplasia, DCD expression can be considered as a potential biomarker

Multisséries é o nome dado às turmas que em sua constituição possuem crianças de idades diferentes e em níveis de aprendizagem diferentes sobre a responsabilidade de um professor (a). Em uma mesma sala de aula têm-se crianças de anos de escolarização diferentes. Exemplo: 1º e 2º ano juntos em um mesmo espaço. Esta organização é motivo de questionamentos negativos de famílias, professores e gestores, até mesmo por remeterem à época das professoras leigas que tinham a função de oferecer a primeira escolarização para os filhos dos coronéis. A multissérie é vista de forma negativa, mas será realmente um problema? Há muitas pesquisas e dados estatísticos que confirmam as limitações do sistema seriado adotado como padrão hegemônico para atender aos interesses do capital. No entanto, a multissérie está invisibilizada apesar de existir desde o início da escolarização no Brasil. Por isso, esta pesquisa objetiva registrar, analisar e divulgar os resultados positivos de trabalhos das multisséries baseados nas práticas pedagógicas das professoras da E.M. Francisco Augusto de Oliveira, defendendo-as como território de resistência das comunidades rurais e demonstrando como há outras possíveis formas de organização que atendam as diferentes demandas do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, transgredindo o paradigma seriado urbano. Essa escola foi denominada desde dois mil e quinze como “do campo” pelos seus gestores, localiza-se na comunidade de São Domingos da Bocaina, Lima Duarte, Minas Gerais, não sendo esta proposta pedagógica uma reivindicação da comunidade. A metodologia da pesquisa é qualitativa, realizada com ênfase no trabalho das professoras das multisséries, dispostas a realizá-la de forma colaborativa e avaliar conjuntamente os resultados junto à pesquisadora que utilizou os instrumentos de rodas de conversa, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, conversas informais e observação participante no estágio de pedagogia realizado conjuntamente com a pesquisa. Ibiapina, Hage, Caldart, Arroyo, Freire, os cadernos da SECAD, as diretrizes e legislações que envolvem a Educação do Campo contribuíram nas análises das realidades coletadas.Percebemos, com o campo dessa pesquisa, que uma reflexão sobre as práticas docentes e o que elas significam para os sujeitos em formação que somos, produzem diferenças nos objetivos que se pretende alcançar e numa postura de maior responsabilidade social na vida dos nossos alunos. / One challenge for schools in rural areas is the distribution of students in multi-grade classrooms. Multiseries is the name given to classes that in their constitution have children of different ages and different levels of learning about the responsibility of a teacher. In the same classroom there are children from different years of schooling. Example: 1st and 2nd year together in the same space. This organization is the subject of negative questions of families, teachers and managers, even to refer to the time of the lay teachers who had the function of offering the first schooling for the children of the colonels. The multiseriesis viewed negatively, but is it really a problem? There is much research and statistical data that confirm the failure of the serial system adopted as the hegemonic standard to meet the interests of capital. However, the multiseriesis invisibilized despite having existed since the beginning of schooling in Brazil. Therefore, this research aims to register, analyze and disseminate the positive aspects of the multiseries based on the pedagogical practices of the teachers of EM Francisco Augusto de Oliveira, defending them as resistance territory of rural communities and demonstrating how there are other possible forms of organization that meet The different demands of the teaching and learning process. This school was denominated from two thousand and fifteen like "of the field" by its managers, it is located in the community of San Domingos of the Bocaina, Lima Duarte, Minas Gerais, not being this pedagogical proposal a claim of the community. The methodology of the research is qualitative, carried out with the teachers of the multiseries, managers, researcher and the research group TRAME. All willing to carry it out in a collaborative way and jointly evaluate the results together with the teachers of the multiseries. With talk wheel, semistructured interviews, informal conversations and participant observation. Ibiapina, Hage, Caldart, Arroyo, Freire, Fernandes, the SECAD notebooks, the guidelines and legislation that involve Field Education will contribute to the analysis of the realities collected.We realized with the scope of this research that a reflection on the teaching practices and what they mean for the subjects in formation that we are, produce differences in the objectives that are intended to achieve and in a posture of greater social responsibility in the lives of our students.

Serial crime is an element of society that continues to disturb and fascinate scholars. There is thus a need to understand the uniqueness of serial murderers and their psychological development. The field of psychobiography is a qualitative approach to uncover the story of an individual life through greater understanding of psychological concepts. Psychobiographical research is invaluable in the application of theory to the finished lives of exemplary or enigmatic individuals to develop and test theories of human development. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (1960 – 1994), a cannibalistic serial killer who killed 17 young men, served as the single psychobiographical subject in this study. Dahmer was selected based on interest value, his uniqueness and the lack of a specifically academic and psychologically focused case study on his life. A qualitative psychobiographical research method was utilized in this study. The primary aim of the research was to explore and describe Jeffrey Dahmer’s personality development across his lifespan. This was achieved by applying Erikson’s (1950) psychosocial theory of staged developmental crises to the lifespan developmental process and Adler’s (1929) dynamic individual psychology to provide a more comprehensive idiographic interpretation of Dahmer as an individual. Jeffrey Dahmer’s life history was uncovered in this psychobiographical case study research through the systematic and consistent collection, analysis and interpretation of life history materials, which highlighted five significant historical periods: (a) Childhood of Fantasy, (b) The Quiet Loner, (c) Hiatus – or Build-up, (d) Seeking a Compliant Partner and (e) Arrest, Trial and Death. The two theoretical frameworks were used to discern, transform and reconstruct his life into a coherent and illuminating narrative of his psychological movement through life. Alexander’s (1988) model of identifying salient themes was used to analyze data for analytical generalization (Yin, 1994). A conceptual framework derived from the two theoretical perspectives was constructed to organize and integrate data and to guide the presentation and discussion of the findings of the study in an integrative and comprehensive manner. The findings suggested that both theoretical perspectives considered the biopsychosocial as well as cultural and historical influences of situations and experiences in Dahmer’s personality development throughout the lifespan. Adlerian theory indicated that Dahmer held a socially useless lifestyle whose movement was guided purposively towards a fictional goal xxii of godlikeness through creative, concrete expressions of personal superiority. Eriksonian theory held that Dahmer remained in role confusion, which was viewed as a functional, fragmented identity to survive in society and achieve a fantasy. Thus, both theories indicated, despite their different conceptualizations, that Dahmer’s personality development was ultimately not socially beneficial. The study of Dahmer’s personality development has provided a positive demonstration of the value of both Erikson (1950) and Adler’s (1929) theories to understand the processes of personality development in an individual life. It has further highlighted the uniqueness of individual responses to life tasks and consequently unlocked the possibility of perceiving people and their actions differently. Recommendations were made for future research undertakings that utilize a psychobiographical research design and methodology to uncover, illuminate and reconstruct the lives of enigmatic personalities.

A VHDL evaluation platform and interface to the Xilinx Aurora 8b/10b IP has been designed, tested and evaluated. The evaluation platform takes an arbitrary amount of data sources and sends the data over 1,2,4 or 8 multi gigabit serial lanes, using the Aurora 8b/10b protocol. A lightweight communications protocol for point-to-point data transfer, error detection and recovery is used to maintain a reliable and efficient transmission scheme. Priority between sources sharing the serial link is also a part of the platform. The Aurora 8b/10b IP is a lightweight protocol and transceiver interface for Xilinx FPGAs, based on the 8b/10b line encoding protocol. In addition, a demonstration PCB has been developed to introduce the Kintex-7 FPGA to future products at SAAB Dynamics.

Context: According to Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, there is an increase in residential burglary crimes by 2% in 2014 compared to 2013and by 19% in the past decade. Law enforcement agencies could only solve three to five percent of crimes reported in 2012. Multiple studies done in the field of crime analysis report that most of the residential burglaries are committed by relatively small number of offenders. Thus, the law enforcement agencies need toinvestigate the possibility of linking crimes into crime series. Objectives: This study presents the computation of a median crime which is the centre most crime in a crime series calculated using the statistical concept of median. This approach is used to calculate the uniqueness of a crime series consisting of linked residential burglaries. The burglaries are characterised using temporal, spatial features and modus operandi. Methods: Quasi experiment with repeated measures is chosen as research method.The burglaries are linked based on their characteristics(features) by building a statistical model using logistic regression algorithm to formulate estimated crime series. The study uses median crime as an approach for computing the uniqueness of linked burglaries. The measure of uniqueness is compared between estimated series and legally verified known series. In addition, the study compares the uniqueness of estimated and known series to randomly selected crimes. The measure of uniqueness is used to know the feasibility of using the formulated estimated series for investigation by the law bodies. Results: Statistical model built for linking crimes achieved an AUC = 0.964,R 2 = 0.770 and Dxy = 0.900 during internal evaluation and achieved AU C =0.916 for predictions on test data set and AUC = 0.85 for predictions on known series data set. The uniqueness measure of estimated series ranges from 0.526to 0.715, and from 0.359 to 0.442 for known series corresponding to differentseries. The uniqueness of randomly selected crimes ranges from 0.522 to 0.726 for estimated series and from 0.636 to 0.743 for known series. The values obtained are analysed and evaluated using Independent two sample t-test, Cohen’s d and kolmogorov-smirnov test. From this analysis, it is evident that the uniqueness measure for estimated series is high compared to the known series and closely matches with randomly selected crimes. The uniqueness of known series is clearly low compared to both the estimated series and randomly selected crimes. Conclusion: The present study concludes that estimated series formulated using the statistical model has high uniqueness measures and needs to be furtherfiltered to be used by the law bodies.
