Realizamos um estudo, que avaliou o equilíbrio corporal de 120 idosos, 60 com queixa de desequilíbrio e/ou tontura, 60 sem queixa e como controle 58 indivíduos adultos normais. Usamos o teste de integração sensorial da posturografia dinâmica computadorizada. Nossos resultados mostraram piores valores de equilíbrio no grupo de idosos sintomáticos comparados ao grupo assintomático, que por sua vez foram piores que os adultos normais, estatisticamente significante. Os sistemas de equilíbrio que se revelaram mais comprometidos com o envelhecimento foram o visual e o vestibular / Using dynamic posturography we studied the balance of 120 elderly subjects, sixty with imbalance and dizziness and sixty without this symtom, as well as fifty- eight normal adults. We found worse results in the elderly symtomatic compared with assintomatic that have better results that normal adults, statistically significant. Equilibrium systems that showed age-related worse were visual and vestibular

Método: estudo transversal controlado em 40 indivíduos hígidos, sem sintomas e sinais de alteração da audição e do equilíbrio corporal e que não estavam fazendo uso de medicamentos. Os indivíduos foram instruídos quanto ao preparo do exame e submetidos à avaliação vestibular incluindo a prova calórica com ar a 50 e 24°C e com água a 44 e 30°C. Os mesmos foram distribuídos de forma aleatória em dois grupos, segundo a ordem de estimulação calórica, ora iniciando com ar, ora com água. Resultados: À comparação das provas com ar e com água, não houve diferença significante entre os valores da velocidade angular da componente lenta (VACL) do nistagmo pós-calórico quanto à ordem de realização das estimulações, entre as orelhas e entre os valores de predomínio labiríntico e de preponderância direcional. Os valores de VACL foram maiores nas estimulações com água do que com ar (p=0,008; p<0,001). A temperatura fria evocou respostas mais intensas do que a temperatura quente nas provas com ar e com água (p<0,001). Conclusão: A prova calórica com água apresenta valores de VACL maiores do que a prova calórica com ar, mas ambas as provas apresentam semelhança nos valores da VACL maiores na temperatura fria e nos resultados dos valores relativos de predomínio labiríntico e preponderância direcional do nistagmo. / Purpose: to compare the nystagmus response in air (50°C/24°C) and water (44°C/30°C) caloric tests. Method: controlled cross-sectional study in 40 healthy individuals without any symptoms or signs of either hearing or balance disorders who were not making use of any medications. The individuals underwent an otoneurological evaluation, including air (50°C/24°C) and water (44°C/30°C) caloric tests. Results: Comparing air and water caloric tests, no significant difference was found among the values of slow-phase velocity post-caloric nystagmus regarding the stimulation order, between ears and between the values of unilateral weakness and directional preponderance. Slow-phase velocity values were higher in water than in air stimulation (p=0.008, p<0.001). Cold stimulation evoked more intense responses than warm stimulation in both air and water tests (p<0.001). Conclusion: In air (50°C/24°C) and water (44°C/30°C) caloric tests, the post-caloric nystagmus is similar in terms of slow-phase velocity values in both ears, higher responses in the cold temperature, unilateral weakness and directional preponderance results but it is different with regard to slow-phase velocity values which are higher in water test. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

Dizziness is very common, but it is never normal. Dizziness can make performing daily activities, work, and walking difficult. Inner ear balance problems can make people dizzy when they turn their head, which can cause problems during walking and make people more likely to fall. Most of the time dizziness is not from a life-threatening disease. Often, dizziness is related to a problem of the vestibular (or inner ear balance) system. Vestibular disorders can be caused by infections in the ear, problems with the immune system, medications that harm the inner ear, and rarely from diabetes or stroke because of a lack of blood flow to the inner ear. Stress, poor sleep, migraine headaches, overdoing some activities, and feeling anxious or sad can increase symptoms of dizziness. Updated guidelines for the treatment of inner ear disorders are published in this issue of the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy. The guideline recommends which exercises are best to treat the dizziness and balance problems commonly seen with an inner ear problem.

Introdução: A instabilidade postural é uma manifestação tardia da doença de Parkinson (DP), sendo incapacitante e um fator de risco para quedas. O comprometimento das respostas posturais na DP é provavelmente a causa mais importante das quedas. Estas respostas posturais dependem de informações vestibulares, somatossensoriais e visuais, que são integradas nos núcleos da base, tronco cerebral e medula espinhal. Este estudo avalia um possível papel do sistema vestibular na fisiopatologia da instabilidade postural através da vertical visual subjetiva (VVS). A VVS avalia o julgamento da vertical gravitacional e é um teste sensível da função otolítica. Objetivo: Analisar a VVS em pacientes com DP e comparar com os controles normais; correlacionar a direção das inclinações da VVS e o lado de maior comprometimento da doença; correlacionar a VVS com as escalas Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn e Yahr (HY); determinar se as inclinações da VVS estão relacionadas à instabilidade postural. Métodos: Pacientes com DP foram submetidos a: exame neurológico completo; escalas UPDRS e HY; teste clínico para avaliação da instabilidade postural e o teste da VVS foi realizado em 45 pacientes e 45 controles normais. Resultados: As inclinações da VVS nos controles tiveram valores entre -2,7º a +2,4º, média +0,18º e DP = 1.17, e entre -6,4º a +5,6º, média -0,50º e DP = 2.89 nos pacientes. Não houve diferença das médias entre pacientes e controles, porém os pacientes tiveram variabilidade maior. A avaliação da variabilidade no grupo dos pacientes utilizou os valores absolutos de cada medida da VVS. As médias dos valores absolutos da VVS nos controles e pacientes foram 1,55º e 3,65º, respectivamente, sendo maiores nos pacientes (p<0,0001). Houve uma fraca correlação positiva entre os resultados da VVS a avaliação motora da escala UPDRS; razoável correlação positiva com a escala HY e uma boa correlação entre a VVS e a severidade da instabilidade postural. Conclusões: Os erros do julgamento da VVS foram significantemente maiores em pacientes comparados aos controles. Além disso, houve uma fraca correlação com as escalas UPDRS e Hoehn e Yahr, e boa correlação da VVS com a instabilidade postural. Estes resultados sugerem que as vias aferentes do sistema vestibular estão comprometidas nos pacientes com DP e poderiam estar envolvidas nos mecanismos que levam à instabilidade postural, indicando que a instabilidade postural não é um fenômeno exclusivamente motor / Introduction: Postural instability is a late manifestation of Parkinsons disease (PD). The impairment of postural responses on PD is probably the most important cause of falls. These postural responses depend on vestibular, somatossensorial and visual inputs, and they are integrated on basal ganglia, brainstem and spinal cord. By use of the subjective visual vertical (SVV), this study evaluates a possible role of the vestibular system on the hysiopathology of postural instability. The SVV makes the judgment of gravitational vertical and is a specific test of otolith function. Objective: To analyze the SVV in patients with PD and to compare with normal controls; to correlate the direction of SVV-inclinations with the side of more impairment disease; to correlate the SVV with the Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Hoehn and Yahr (HY) scales, to determine if the inclination of SVV is related to the postural instability. Methods: Patients with idiopathic PD were submitted to: complete neurological examination; the scales UPDRS and HY; the clinical test to postural instability and the SVV test. The measurement of SVV was performed in 45 patients and 45 normal controls. Results: The SVV-inclination ranged from -2.7º to +2.4º, mean 0.18º and SD = 1.17 in controls, and from -6.4º to +5.6º, mean -0.50º and SD = 2.89 in patients. There was no difference in mean between patients and controls, but patients had a greater deviation. The variability evaluation in patients group used absolute values of SVV. The means of absolute values of SVV in controls and patients were 1.55º and 3.65º, respectively, and were greater in patients (p < 0.0001). There was a weak correlation between SSV and scores in the motor evaluation of UPDRS scale. A reasonable correlation was found between SVV values and scores in the HY scale. There was a good correlation between SVV and severity of postural instability. Conclusions: The error of judgment of SVV was significantly increased in the patients compared to controls. Further, there was a weak correlation with UPDRS and HY scales, and a good correlation of SVV with postural instability. These results suggest that the afferent pathways of vestibular system are impaired in patients with PD and could be involved in mechanisms underlying postural instability; so that, postural instability is not only a motor phenomemon

Utgångspunkten för projektet är en undersökning av mina egna minnen av grundskolan. Genom att rita upp skolan ur minnet och analysera utvalda rumsligheter har jag undersökt vad jag minns av skolbyggnaden och varför. Upplevelsen av många av rumsligheterna jag minns som spännande handlade om ett upptäckande. En organisering av rumsligheterna i relation till riktning ledde till en idé om en spatial struktur och orienterbarhet utifrån två korsande axlar. Inre riktningar i relation till två korsande axlar har analyserats genom Palladios Villa Rotonda och Palazzo Della Torre.  Riktningarna från undersökningen har satts i relation till platsens riktningar. Undersökningen resulterade i två volymer med en passage mellan. Genom passagen spänner den yttre primära axeln mellan en mur framför skolan mot vägen och skogen som utgör den bortre gränsen för skolgården.  I skärningspunkten av axlarna finns en innegård, ett förrum till byggnaderna och den inre tvärgående axeln. Den inre axeln ger en spatial struktur kring vilka rum är organiserade. Ett pelarsystem bidrar till att framhäva riktningarna i byggnaden. En lång förhall omgiven av pelare leder från entréerna vid innergården fram till slutpunkten för den inre axeln, ett ljusrum som sträcker sig genom våningsplanen. Den norra delen för de yngre barnen har en trappa framför ljusrummet, trappan återkommer för de äldre barnen i den södra delen bakom ljusrummet. I anslutning till korridorer och allmän yta finns rum med kvalitéer från undersökningen att upptäcka. / The starting point of the project is an analysis of my own memories of elementary school. By drawing up the school from memory and analyzing selected spaces, I have investigated what I remember about the school building and why. The experience of many of the spaces I remember as exciting was about a discovery. An organization of spatial relationships in relation to direction led to an idea of a spatial structure and orientation based on two intersecting axes. Internal directions in relation to two intersecting axes have been analyzed by Palladios Villa Rotonda and Palazzo Della Torre.   The directions from the analysis have been put in relation to the directions of the site. The the analysis resulted in two volumes with a passage between. Through the passage, the outer primary axis spans a wall in front of the school towards the road and the forest which constitutes the far border of the schoolyard.   At the intersection of the axes is an inner courtyard, an vestibule for the buildings and the inner transverse axis. The inner axes provides a spatial structure around which rooms are organized. A pillar system helps to emphasize the directions in the building. A long vestibule surrounded by pillars leads from the entrances by the inner courtyard to the end point of the inner vestibule, a light room that extends through the floors. The northern part for the younger children has a staircase in front of the light room, the staircase recur for the older children in the southern part behind the light room. In connection with corridors and public areas, there are rooms with qualities from the analysis to be discovered.

This diploma thesis solves a new residential house in Litovel in the cadastral area town Litovel (685909) on plot 725/9. The building is situated in the outskirts of built-up. Plan view of the object is I-shaped with dimensions of 43.01 x 26.26 m. The building consists of four floors and cellar floor. In the cellar floor there are collective garage, cellar, boiler room, club room, toilet and access corridor following the staircase space. On the first floor of the multifunctional part building there are two shops and a hairdresser´s, which have individual entrances. The main entrance to the living part of the house is consists by storm lobby. On the leeward continues vestibule and staircase space with a lift shaft. The main corridor following to individual apartments in each floor lead on the staircase space. The building is based on a reinforced concrete base. Vertical construction and horizontal construction are made from the system HELUZ. Roof construction are flat and have a gradient of 3%.

The aim for this thesis was to investigate how boys and men are portrayed in contemporary Swedish literature that have been acknowledged for depicting male violence. This is done through a comparative analysis of Björnstad (2016) by Fredrik Backman and Jävla karlar (2023) by Andrev Walden. The study is motivated against the notion that boys in children’s literature, as well as within the field for masculinity theory, historically have been portrayed as having contrasting characteristics in relation to men. Boys are created as wild whereas men are portrayed as civilized controlled beings, holding the ideal the boys should aspire to reach for. Sara Ahmed’s theoretical concept stickiness is used to explain how the image of the boy discursively is constructed as subordinate in relation to the man. In addition to this, a methodological model is developed, consisting of three new chronotopes: the boyroom and the man-land, connected by the teenage-guy’s vestibule. The teenage-guy’s vestibule is a development of Michail Bachtin’s threshold-chronotope, and is used as the viewpoint in the analysis. The boy-room is a development of Magnus Öhrn’s chronotope the boy land (pojklandet), which have been used to analyze boys in historical children’s literature. Through the analysis it becomes visible that the ideal for boys as well as men is still constructed from a patriarchal structure. Boys are raised according to the ideal of the wild boy, reproducing the idea that male subjects are inherently wild, which is seen as a discursive construction that allows for male violence to continue. Both novels also work to contest this notion by addressing that the wild characteristics originate and belong in the man-land. The comparison shows that more literary representations of boys as well as men could work to counteract the hierarchy, and thus the idea that masculinity is connected to control and domination.
