Com a iminência da construção de mais um trecho do Rodoanel Mário Covas, seu Trecho Norte, tem fechamento um ciclo longo de acumulação de capital na metrópole paulista, de mais de 150 anos, caracterizado pela expansão metropolitana (desigual e combinada) impulsionada pela especulação imobiliária baseada na verticalização do centro expandido e na horizontalização da cidade via loteamentos periféricos. Nesse um século e meio, seu motor foi à crescente financeirização do espaço urbano, tendo como principal conseqüência terrível, a produção de um ambiente construído agressor para sua própria população metropolitana. Como num roteiro de Tarantino, esse presente denota uma sarcástica imagem: hoje, as deseconomias metropolitanas, como as enchentes, o congestionamento e a poluição, tomam o lugar que um dia foi da garoa, de Adoniran Barbosa e dos bairros tradicionais de imigrantes, na produção da identidade paulistana. O novo ciclo de acumulação de capital em gestação não tem como objetivo resgatar essas memórias paulistanas. Ironicamente, esse novo modelo, baseado na suburbanização de alto padrão e no congelamento/urbanização das áreas de loteamento periférico precário e irregular, tem como objetivo construir uma plataforma logística metropolitana apropriada para o que Karl Manheim e tantos outros chamam de fuga do urbano. Pois, o que está em questão é a clara mudança de um padrão de urbanização brasileira (subdesenvolvimento de tipo cepalino) para o do tipo estadunidense, caracterizado por highways que ligam os luxuosos subúrbios ajardinados e as grandes aglomerações médias e populares aos centros degradados das cidades. O presente estudo tem por objetivo, apresentar três dinâmicas espaciais urbanas provisórias dessa fuga do urbano, vetorizadas por três grupos de capital urbano (proprietários da terra/intermediadores financeiros; empresas de construção/incorporação; grupos sociais em geral). A exposição da investigação parte do método dialético e da idéia de espaço geográfico composto por forma, função, estrutura e processo. / With the imminent construction of a Rodoanel Mario Covas, its your Trecho Norte thern section, is closing a long cycle of capital accumulation of more than 150 years, characterized by metropolitan expansion (uneven and combined) driven by speculation based on the vertical expanded center and flattening the town allotments via peripherals. In a century and a half, its engine was the growing financial character of urban space, with the primary tremendous consequence, the production of a built environment aggressor for its own metropolitan population. Like a Tarantino script, the most appropriate image is less promising and more disgustingly sarcastic: today, diseconomies metropolitan areas, such as flooding, congestion and pollution, take the place that was once the garoa of Adoniran Barbosa and the traditional neighborhoods of immigrants in the production of identity in São Paulo. The new cycle of capital accumulation in pregnancy is not meant to recover these memories from São Paulo. Ironically, this new model, based on the suburbanization of high standard and the freeze / urbanizing areas of poor and irregular peripheral housing estate, is to build a logistics hub for the metropolitan appropriate that Karl Manheim and many others call urban trail. For what is at issue is the clear shift from a pattern of urbanization in Brazil (underdevelopment CEPAL type) for the U.S. type, characterized by highways that link the luxurious surroundings and landscaped large clumps and popular medium degraded the centers of cities. This study aims to submit three spatial dynamics of urban temporary escape from the urban, vectorized by three groups of urban capital (owners of the land / financial intermediaries, companies of construction / incorporation; social groups in general). Exposure of the research part of the dialectical method and the idea of geographic space composed of form, function, structure and process.

O Transtorno Depressivo Maior (TDM) está entre as síndromes psiquiátricas que mais atingem a população em geral. A prevalência da depressão durante a vida é de 7 a 12% para homens e 20 a 25% para mulheres, independente de raça, educação, estado civil ou renda. Entre os idosos a prevalência é de aproximadamente 5%. Além do tratamento medicamentoso, as psicoterapias têm um papel importante durante a fase aguda e na fase de remissão. A Arteterapia é uma abordagem terapêutica primordialmente não verbal, e tem sido utilizada em diversos contextos, mas há carência de estudos quantitativos que comprovem sua eficácia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia da Arteterapia para uma população de mulheres idosas com diagnóstico de TDM, segundo o DSM - 5 = Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatística dos Transtornos Mentais - 5º versão, medicadas. Participaram do estudo 66 idosas com diagnóstico de TDM em tratamento medicamentoso, sem mudança medicamentosa durante o estudo e intactas no ponto de vista da cognição. Essas idosas foram alocadas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: 33 constituíram o Grupo Experimental (GE), que constou de 20 oficinas de Arteterapia com duração de noventa minutos, semanalmente, e 33 participaram do Grupo Controle (GC) o qual não recebeu nenhuma intervenção. Ambos os grupos foram avaliados com as mesmas escalas no início e após 20 semanas. Foram utilizadas as seguintes escalas para avaliar aspectos cognitivos - Mini exame do Estado Mental (MEEM), o Teste do Desenho do Relógio (TDR), o teste de Fluência Verbal - categoria animal (FV), e o teste Trilhas A. Para a avaliação Visuoconstrutiva foi utilizada a Figura complexa de Rey - cópia e evocação. Para avaliar aspectos psiquiátricos foram utilizadas a Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), a Escala de Beck para Depressão (BDI) e a Escala de Beck para Ansiedade (BAI). Para avaliar qualidade de vida - Functional Assessment Staging Test (FAST). No final do estudo 31 idosas completaram todas as oficinas do GE e 25 idosas do GC retornaram para as avaliações finais, apesar de todas terem sido contatadas. O GC diminuiu na GDS 0,6 ± 2,3 pontos, enquanto o GE diminuiu 3,2 ± 3,4 pontos, e esta diferença entre os grupos foi significante (p = 0,007). Na escala BDI, o GC diminuiu 1,6 ± 4,9 pontos e o GE diminuiu 8,6 ± 12,8 pontos (p = 0,025). Na escala BAI, o GC diminuiu 2,9 ± 1,4 pontos e o GE diminuiu 8,9 ± 14,5 pontos (p = 0,032). Não foram encontradas diferenças nas demais escalas. Assim, houve diferença entre os grupos Controle e Experimental após as 20 semanas nos aspectos psiquiátricos de depressão e ansiedade. Não foram observadas mudanças na cognição. Desta forma, intervenções como a deste estudo parecem auxiliar no tratamento de sintomas depressivos e ansiosos de idosas com TDM / Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is, among the psychiatric syndromes, that most affect the general population. The prevalence of depression during life is 7 to 12% for men and 20 to 25% for women, regardless of race, education, marital status or income. Among the elderly, the prevalence is approximately 5%. In addition to drug treatment, psychotherapies have an important role during the acute phase and in the remission phase. Art Therapy is a therapeutic approach primarily nonverbal, and has been used in several contexts, but there is a lack of quantitative studies that prove its efficacy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Art therapy for a population of elderly women diagnosed with MDD, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition (DSM - 5). A total of 66 elderly women with a diagnosis of MDD were enrolled in the drug treatment, without drug change during the study and intact from the point of view of cognition. These elderly women were randomly allocated into two groups: 33 were the Experimental Group (EG), which consisted of 20 Art therapy workshops lasting 90 minutes, weekly, and 33 participated in the Control Group (CG), which received no intervention. Both groups were evaluated with the same scales at baseline and after 20 weeks. The following scales were used to evaluate cognitive aspects - Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock Drawing Test, Verbal Fluency Test - Animal Category (VF), and Trail A. To evaluate psychiatric aspects, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), the Beck Depression Scale (BDI) and the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI) were used. For the Visuoconstructive evaluation, Rey\'s Complex Figure and Delayed Recall was used. And to evaluate quality of life - Functional Assessment Staging Test (FAST). At the end of the study, 31 elderly women completed all EG workshops and 25 elderly women of CG returned to the final evaluations, although all were contacted. The CG decreased in the GDS 0.6 ± 2.3 points, while the EG decreased by 3.2 ± 3.4 points, and this difference between the groups was significant (p = 0.007). On the BDI scale, the CG decreased by 1.6 ± 4.9 points and the EG decreased by 8.6 ± 12.8 points (p = 0.025). On the BAI scale, the CG decreased by 2.9 ± 1.4 points and the EG decreased by 8.9 ± 14.5 points (p = 0.032). No differences were found in the other scales. Thus, there was difference between the Control and Experimental groups after the 20 weeks in the psychiatric depression and anxiety aspects. No changes in cognition were observed. Thus, interventions such as this study seem to aid in the treatment of depressive and anxious symptoms of elderly patients with TDM

We present the internal components of the architecture of FrameTrail and also presents the structure of external providers. This external providers provides the framework so that applications can address the trails without the need to follow a technology model pre-established. Each of these providers can define which information relevant to their contexts, as well as lets you customize the way of how your data will be stored. The dissertation also describes the prototype of FrameTrail, as well as case studies designed to validate him and how they were directed to use the most of the functionalities provided by the framework.

Natural Dye, Chemical, Trail running, Sportswear, Sustainable, Pigments, Chromatic, Toxins, Print, Dye, Dirt.Sammanfattning på engelska: This work explores natural dye’s ability to be used for trail running wear. The sustainable aspects in the clothing industry includes the production of nontoxic textiles that do not pollute in the production process nor when using the textile close to our bodies. Natural dyes usually have low toxicity and are produced from renewable resources. The explorative nature of trail running is used as a guideline and an entrance exam for the dyed fabrics to prove wash- and lightfastness durable for the sport. The idea of colouring clothes directly with nature is present in dirt prints printed with natural pigments. Organic printing with rust and vegetable oil is explored as an alternative to screen printing. The movements and comfort of running outdoors is understood by body indicated experiments as a method. Pattern construction is made from movement and sensation by exposing the body to friction, dirt and cold air. The results of these experiments were together with reshaping existing run wear the construction method. This work suggests viewing colour as nonstatic and with more dimensions such as locality and smell. By using slow dye processes and locally accessible dye materials unique expressions from natural dyes, prints and patinations can enhance sportswear in the appearance, health and environmental aspect. / Program: Modedesignutbildningen

abstract: Trails perform an essential function in protected lands by routing visitors along planned, sustainable surfaces. However, when visitors deviate from official trails in sufficient numbers, it can lead to the creation of social trails. These visitor-created pathways are not sustainably designed and can severely degrade both the stability and appearance of protected areas. A multitude of recreation motivations among visitors and a lack of resources among land management agencies have made the mitigation and closure of social trails a perennial concern. A sustainable, economical strategy that does not require the continual diversion of staff is needed to address social trails. In this study, two techniques that stand out in the research literature for their efficacy and practicality were tested on a social trail closure in South Mountain Park, a high-use, urban-proximate mountain park in Phoenix, AZ. A research design with additive treatments utilizing the site management technique known as trail mitigation, sometimes referred to as brushing in the literature, followed by theory-grounded signage incorporating injunctive-proscriptive wording, an attribution message, and a reasoning message targeting visitor behavioral beliefs, norms, and control was applied and assessed using unobtrusive observation. Both treatments reduced observed off-trail hiking from 75.4% to 0%, though traces of footsteps and attempts to re-open the trail revealed the existence of unobserved “entrenched” users. With entrenched users attempting to reopen the trail, trail mitigation represented an effective but vulnerable approach while the signage represented a long-lasting “hardened” approach that provides an educational message, management’s stance on the closure, and which might put social pressure on the entrenched user(s). / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Community Resources and Development 2018

Despite great effort to improve physical activity, little success has come to pass. Due to this, some researchers have shifted from individual approaches to promoting physical activity to multilevel environmental approaches. One of these multifaceted environmental approaches is through community trails. A small body of research has suggested that community trails may be a successful ecological approach to promoting physical activity. However, the research is minimal and inconsistent in supporting effectiveness of community trails for promoting physical activity. This study sought to examine ecological factors to learn if and how they might influence trail use among women. The ecological factors measured in this study were intrapersonal (age, time, race/ethnicity), sociocultural (income, education, social support), and physical environmental (cost, convenience, safety). A survey was conducted among 67 women using a community trail in St. George, Utah during the spring of 2008. Multiple linear regression models and Pearson correlations performed measured the predictive value of the ecological influences of physical activity, studied the relationship between community trail use and physical activity, and gained a clearer understanding of the characteristics of women trail users. Eighty-four percent of the sample reported using trails for physical activity and 74% reported since they began using trails, they participated in more physical activity. Physical activity and trail use were significantly and positively correlated. Convenience, outdoors and aesthetics were reported as motivators to use trails. Sixty-nine percent of the sample perceived the trail to be very convenient and convenience significantly predicted trail use. Convenience was also significantly and negatively correlated with the distance one traveled to the trail. The remaining ecological factors failed to predict trail use. Promoting community trail use among women who live within close proximity to trails may be an effective approach to reaching out to more people in an effort to promote physical activity. This conclusion is supported by the findings that women trail users were significantly likely to use trails regularly, participate in physical activity, and live within close proximity to trails. It is inconclusive what and how other ecological factors might influence community trail use among women.

Mild Cognitive Impairment is a condition that affects an individual's thinking and decision making capabilities. Specifically, it is one where an individual's capabilities of memorizing, thinking and decision making are less efficient when compared to others. In order to diagnose this condition, a conventional method is to provide the subject with a small challenge they should be completed using pen and paper. This thesis focuses on how this method can be converted to a computer based test. A data visualization tool named Processing has been used to develop a system that runs a game-like test, which is completed by individuals using a mouse. The system then saves the individual's mouse movements in the form of a CSV file. This files are used for further analyzed using JMP Pro on how this data can be used for determining cognitive abilities via computing a metric called Fractal, and what conclusions can be drawn. In order to achieve comparable results, readings from two diverse age groups have been collected. The results using a total of 12 subjects are convincing in that the tool can be used to as a marker for detecting cognitive impairment.
