Το θέμα της παρούσας διατριβής αφορά στην μοντελοποίηση ενός εξελιγμένου ιατρι- κού συστήματος κατάλληλου για τη διαχείριση ζωτικών σημάτων με κύριο άξονα εφαρμογής τις διάφορες κατηγορίες ηλεκτροεγκεφαλογραφημάτων (EEG). Με τον όρο εξελιγμένο ιατρικό σύστημα αναφερόμαστε στη συγκεκριμένη διατριβή σε ένα ανεξάρτητο ανοικτό πληροφοριακό σύστημα που καλύπτει έναν πολύ συγκεκριμένο ιατρικό τομέα. Ως ζωτικά σήματα ή βιοσήματα για τη διατριβή νοούνται ψηφιακές καταγρα- φές ιατρικών οργάνων που μπορούν να αποθηκευτούν σε ψηφιακά αρχεία προτυποποιημένου μορφότυπου (format). Η διαχείριση περιλαμβάνει ανοικτές αρχιτεκτονικές λογισμικού με τις οποίες αρχειο- θετούνται και γίνονται αντικείμενο διαδραστικής επεξεργασίας ετερογενείς καταγραφές ια- τρικής πληροφορίας. Ο συγκεκριμένος ιατρικός τομέας ανάπτυξης του θέματος της διατριβής οριοθετείται στον ευρύτερο τομέα της επιληψίας και εστιάζεται στη χειρουργική της επιληψίας. Η βασική πρωτοτυπία της διατριβής έγκειται στη μοντελοποίηση και υλοποίηση ενός εξελιγμένου ιατρικού συστήματος για τη διαχείριση ηλεκτροεγκεφαλογραφημάτων (EEG), άλλων ζωτικών σημάτων καθώς και όλο το σύνολο των απεικονιστικών ιατρικών εξετάσεων που απαιτούνται και την υποστήριξη λήψης απόφασης στη χειρουργική της επιληψίας. Η αρχιτεκτονική πάνω στην οποία αναπτύχθηκε η πλατφόρμα αυτή αναφέρεται ως DESSA και αποτελεί έναν ολοκληρωμένο ηλεκτρονικό χώρο εργασίας κατάλληλο για όλες τις ειδικότητες ιατρών που ασχολούνται με το συγκεκριμένο θέμα. Η DESSA είναι προϊόν στενής συνεργασίας μεταξύ ιατρών, μηχανικών και αναλυτών αγοράς. / -

This thesis explores the presence of the movement theories of Irmgard Bartenieff, Peggy Hackney, and Rudolf Von Laban in the following texts: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave. Written by Himself (1845), The History of Mary Prince: A West Indian Slave (1831), Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself, Linda Brent (1861), Sherley Anne Williams’s Dessa Rose (1986) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). The terms and phrases of movement theory will be introduced to the contemporary critical discussion already surrounding the texts, both furthering and challenging existing arguments.

A revolução tecnológica e os movimentos feministas ocorridos durante o século XX, somados ao fenômeno da globalização do início do século XXI, resultam na alteração da identidade dos indivíduos e a ressignificação de seus espaços de habitar, especialmente, no que diz respeito à condição a que estiveram submetidas as mulheres, sob a égide da dominação masculina. Este trabalho investiga como ocorrem as formas de representação dos espaços de habitar ficcionais em suas dimensões regionais, naturais e domésticas e a condição da identidade feminina, na literatura de escrita feminina contemporânea, tendo como objeto de estudo a obra literária A audácia dessa mulher (1999), de Ana Maria Machado. A partir de uma abordagem culturalista, utilizamos os conceitos de subjetividade dos espaços ficcionais, além de aspectos da filosofia fenomenológica e da geografia humanista, bem como pressupostos da crítica literária feminista, estabelecendo relações com o contexto sócio-histórico representado no romance, examinando como as personagens femininas e seus respectivos espaços de habitar se relacionam. Também verificamos como cada espaço se constrói a partir de determinada condição histórica, social e cultural, culminando na constituição de ambientes simbólicos ricos em significações, a partir das identidades impostas e/ou assumidas, dependendo da época de existência das personagens, cada uma em seus momentos específicos de vivência. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-11-23T15:49:58Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Ana Lucia de Salles.pdf: 1055119 bytes, checksum: cc5656f36168cee54005a491286bf756 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-23T15:49:58Z (GMT).

This project investigates how the ways of representation of fictional spaces to live occur in their regional, natural and domestic dimensions, and the condition of the female identity in the contemporary female written literature, having as study object the literary work A audácia dessa mulher (The boldness of this woman) (1999), by Ana Maria Machado. From the culturalist approach, we used the concepts of fictional spaces subjectivity, besides aspects of phenomenological philosophy and humanist geography, as well as assumptions of feminist literary critics, establishing relations with the socio-historical context represented in the romance, examining how the female characters and its spaces of inhabiting relate. We also verify how each space is built from an specific historical, social and cultural condition, culminating in the constitution of symbolic environments rich in signification, from the imposed and/or assumed identities, depending on the existence time of the characters, each one in their specific moments of living.

“Telling Otherwise: Rewriting History, Gender, and Genre in Africa and the African Diaspora” examines counter-discursive postcolonial rewritings. In my first chapter, “Re-Writing the Canon,” I examine two works that rewrite canonical texts from the European tradition, Jean Rhys’s retelling of the life of Jane Eyre’s Bertha in Wide Sargasso Sea and Maryse Condé’s relocation of Wuthering Heights to the Caribbean in La migration des coeurs. In this chapter, I contend that re-writing functions not only as a response, as a “writing back” to the canon, but as a creative appropriation of and critical engagement with the canonical text and its worldview. My second chapter, “Re-Storying the Past,” examines fictional works that rewrite events from the historical past. The works that I study in this chapter are Assia Djebar’s recuperation of Algerian women’s resistance to French colonization in L’amour, la fantasia and Edwidge Danticat’s efforts to reconstruct the 1937 massacre of Haitians under Trujillo in The Farming of Bones. In my third chapter, “Re-Voicing Slavery,” I take for my subject neo-slave narratives that build on and revise the slave narrative genre of the late eighteenth- through early twentieth- centuries. The two works that I examine in this chapter are Sherley Anne Williams’s Dessa Rose and the poem sequence Zong! by M. NourbeSe Philip, based on the 1781 murder of Africans aboard the slave ship Zong. My fourth chapter, “Re-Membering Gender,” examines texts that foreground the processes of re-writing and re-telling, both thematically and structurally, so as to draw attention to the ways in which discourses and identities are constructed. In their attempts to counter masculinist discourses, these works seek to re-inscribe gender into these discourses, a process of re-membering that engenders a radical deconstruction of fixed notions of identity. The works that I read in this chapter include Daniel Maximin’s L’Isolé soleil, which privileges the feminine and the multiple in opposition to patriarchal notions of single origins and authoritative narrative voices and Maryse Condé’s Traversée de la Mangrove, which rewrites Patrick Chamoiseau’s novel Solibo Magnifique so as to critique the exclusive nature of Caribbean identity in his notion of créolité. / text
