Em outubro de 2005 a notificação de 17 casos de doença ocular de etiologia desconhecida, envolvendo, em sua maioria, a população infantil da cidade de Araguatins/TO, levou as autoridades locais a pedirem ajuda a Secretaria de Estado da Saúde do Estado do Tocantins no intuito de descobrirem sua etiologia, tratamento e prevenção. Nos pacientes acometidos, os sinais freqüentemente observados foram: intensa hiperemia conjutival, granuloma, episclerite, infiltrado corneano periférico. Na anamnese realizada nos pacientes foi observado que todos tiveram contato com as águas do Rio Araguaia. Os resultados obtidos a partir do processamento das amostras de água, sedimentos e substratos particularmente na vegetação marginal inundada, permitiram confirmar a hipótese de que deveria haver uma fauna rica de esponjas no Araguaia, no trecho fronteiro à cidade de Araguatins A presença intraocular de espícula de esponja de água doce das espécies Drulia uruguayensis e Oncosclera navicela foi confirmada em material avaliado histopatologicamente proveniente de três pacientes que haviam sido submetidos a lensectomia, sugerindo que espículas de água doce poderiam ser um surpreendente novo agente etiológico de patologia ocular. Assim, neste estudo foram realizados ensaios de citotoxicidade com amostras de duas espécies de esponjas coletadas no local. Os resultados indicam que os extratos das esponjas após filtração em filtro Millipore 0,45 μm continuaram apresentando atividade citotóxica, sugerindo haver um componente SOLÚVEL, e não somente espículas, capaz de induzir morte celular na população de células utilizadas. Os indivíduos acometidos foram na maioria do sexo masculino com idade entre 05 e 14 anos. / In October 2005 the notification of 17 cases of eyes disease of unknown etiology, involving, in its majority, the infant population of the city of Araguatins/TO, led the local authorities to ask help to the Secretariate of State of Health of the State of Tocantins in order to discover their etiology, treatment and prevention. In affected patients, the signs frequently observed were: intense hyperemia conjutival, granuloma, episclerite, peripheral cornea infiltrated. In the anamnesis performed in patients was observed that all of them had contact with the waters of the Araguaia river. The results obtained from processing samples of water, sediments and substrates particularly in the vegetation marginal flooded, allowed confirming the hypothesis that there should be a rich fauna sponges in Araguaia, close to the city of Araguatins The presence of spicula of intraocular sponge species of freshwater Drulia uruguayensis and Oncosclera navicela was confirmed in material evaluated histopathologically from three patients who had undergone lensectomy, suggesting that \"spikes freshwater could be a surprising new etiologic agent of pathology ocular\". Thus, in this study was performed cytotoxicity assays with samples from two species of sponges collected in place. The results indicate that the extracts of sponges after filtration Millipore 0.45 μm continued presenting cytotoxic activity, suggesting there is a SOLUBLE component, and not only spikes, capable of inducing cellular death in the population of cells used. The individuals affected were the majority of males aged between 05 and 14 years.

Šiame tyrime buvo tiriama trikdžio įtaka sakadiniams akių judesiams. Eksperimentų serijoje, tiriamieji sekė taikinį, kai kartu su taikiniu atsirasdavo ir trikdis. Trikdis atsirasdavo arčiau taikinio per vidurį kelio arba arčiau fiksacijos taško. Visi trikdžiai buvo ant trajektorijos nuo fiksacijos iki taikinio. Taip pat trikdžių atsiradimo laikas skirdavosi. Siekiamieji akių judesiai buvo paveikti trikdžių. Rezultatai parodė kad trikdis labiau įtakoja horizontalius akies judesius ir kad akių judesiai buvo labiau paveikti kai trikdis buvo per vidurį trajektorijos iki taikinio. / In this research distracter influence for saccadic eye movements was studied. In a series of experiments, participants reached to targets in the presence of visual distracters that were either adjacent to the target or either adjacent to the fixation point. Distracters were located through the reach path. The distracters were presented at different times too. The reaching eye movements were affected by the presence of the distracters The results showed that the distracters affects more horizontal eye movements. And the eyes movements are more affected when distracters were in a middle of path to the target.

This research uses the interpretive framework of the Psychological Grotesque to address a protagonist's response when she is unable to integrate the experience of interpersonal trauma into her psyche. The framework reveals a survival mechanism, identity incorporation, with roots in the transgressive and evolutionary nature of the grotesque as discussed in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin, Mary Douglas and Leonard Cassuto. The psychological grotesque is explicated using Stvgo by Laura Hendrie, The Life Before Her Eyes, by Laura Kasischke, and Linden Hills by Gloria Naylor.The psychological grotesque reveals how the protagonist within each of these novels, when positioned within a specific matrix of contributing factors engages in flawed survival strategies to reconcile psychic fragmentation. Drawing on theories of trauma from the work of Bessel Van Der Kolk, Dori Laub, Sigmund Freud, Mardi Horowitz, Ronnie Janoff-Bulman, Laurie Vickroy, Cathy Caruth, Peter Woods and Tim Middleton, the definition of the matrix includes: interpersonal trauma, prior history of emotional problems, no social support network, and self-perceived complicity in the violence. Where these criteria are present, the protagonist is incapable of achieving the repair of her damaged psyche in order to reintegrate into society and relief from the pain of trauma. In an effort to repair her brokeness through the incorporation of parts of the identity of others, the protagonist creates a grotesque mental hybrid living in fractured time. The protagonist experiences destabilization of time due to incorporating the temporal perspective of the other identities. A flawed survival strategy, identity incorporation leads to further psychic fragmentation.The psychological grotesque takes up the challenge of communicating the effects of trauma and addresses the lack of a literary interpretive mechanism for trauma literature in which a critical component of the narrative is the story of female victims of interpersonal violence. This framework confronts the fact that representations of women and trauma are problematic due to how trauma resists linguistic representation and because women have historically been denied a voice in the canon. Therefore, by drawing on elements of the grotesque, specifically hybridity and transgression, this interpretive framework recuperates the experiences of traumatized protagonists. / Department of English

Subtext är en sanning gömd under ytan, som avslöjar en handling eller ords sanna mening. Hur kan en adaptionsprocess påverka subtexten då en bok tolkas om till film? Syftet med denna uppsats är att applicera en komparativ adaptionsanalys för att svara på frågan kring hur subtexten i en bok påverkas av att adapteras till film. Två kapitel och dess respektive filmscener analyseras därmed för att därefter peka ut dess subtext, detta från boken Dream Story och dess filmatisering Eyes Wide Shut. Skillnaderna i hur subtexten förmedlats pekas sedan ut i resultatet, där slutsatser kring adaptionsprocessen av subtext görs. Subtexten analyseras med hjälp av Linda Segers bok Writing Subtext: What Lies Beneath, vilket understöds med Thomas Denks teorier kring komparativa analyser i Komparativ metod – förståelse genom jämförelse. Resultatet har då pekat på att subtexten påverkats av att gå från en litterär till visuell tolkning, där mediespecifika detaljer påverkat berättandet. Dock har samma subtext i stor grad framförts i filmen, det har endast handlat om mediespecifika tolkningar.

Cette étude est une approche contrastive, multimodale et transculturelle décrivant et analysant l’espace gestuel et le rôle des gestes, du regard et de la prosodie dans des cas de reformulation chez des locuteurs francophones et chez des locuteurs hispanophones.A l’intérieur de chacune de ces aires linguistiques, nous comparons l’espace gestuel et la reformulation dans trois cultures différentes : dans l'aire francophone, nous comparons l’espace gestuel des locuteurs français de France Métropolitaine (Europe) à celui des locuteurs québécois,(Amérique du Nord) et des locuteurs cadjins de Louisiane (Amérique du Nord). Dans l'aire hispanophone, nous comparons l’espace gestuel des locuteurs espagnols (Europe) à celui des locuteurs argentins (Amérique du Sud) et des locuteurs vénézuéliens (Amérique du Sud). Nous analysons les différences et/ou similitudes qui existent chez des locuteurs parlant la même langue dans des contextes culturels différents. Nous avons choisi d’étudier l'espace gestuel et la reformulation de ces locuteurs à partir d'un corpus télévisé.Le corpus établi nous permet d’analyser l’espace gestuel des locuteurs selon le schéma de Pedelty repris par D. Mc Neill (1992) qui permet une double lecture de l’espace gestuel : sur l’axe vertical(buste, tête, au-dessus de la tête), sur l’axe horizontal (près du corps, loin du corps). Ensuite, nous étudions le rôle des gestes et du regard, en relation avec les variations intonatives, dans le processus de reformulation en situation d’interview orale. Nous analysons la fonction de l'amplitude gestuelle et des gestes de captage et points d'éclosion, étudiés par D. McNeill et M. A. Morel, en relation avec le rôle des orientations du regard et de la courbe de fréquence fondamentale, dans différents exemples de reformulation du discours oral. Nous analysons en quoi ces trois modalités du discours oral ont une double fonction d’aide à la construction du propre discours et d’aide à l’intercompréhension dans le contexte de co-énonciation. / We present a multimodal, contrastive and transcultural approach of the gesture space of French speaking area and Spanish-speaking area. We describe and analyse the gesture space on the one hand and on the other hand, the function of gesture, eyes directions and prosody in reformulation examples in French-speaking area and Spanish-speaking area.In each French or Spanish speaking area, we compare gesture space and reformulation in three different cultural areas : in French-speaking area, we compare the gesture space of French speakers of Metropolitan France, (Europe), Quebec speakers, (North America), Cajun speakers in Louisiana (North America) and in Spanish-speaking area, we compare the gesture space of Spanish speakers from Spain (Europe), speakers from Argentina (South America), speakers from Venezuela (South America). We analyse the differences and/or the similarities amongst speakers with a common language, either French or Spanish, but a different cultural environment. We decided to study gesture space and reformulation and recorded from a television corpus. Therefore, with this corpus,we can analyse gesture space speakers refering to the diagram “Division of the gesture space for transcription purposes” from Pedelty, which is presented in D. Mc Neill (1992). This diagram allows us to obtain a double reading of gesture space : on the vertical axis (trunk, head, beyondhead), on the horizontal axis (close to the body and far from the body). Afterwards, we analyse the function of gesture and eyes directions and their relationship with the intonative variations during the reformulation process in an oral interview. We analyse the functionof gesture amplitude and the function of catchments and growthpoints, studied by D. Mc Neill andM.A. Morel and their relationship with the function of eyes directions and the fundamentalfrequency (F0) variability with different examples of reformulation in the oral speech. Thereforewe analyse how these three modalities seem to have a double function to help the construction ofthe own speech and/or to help the intercomprehension, the mutual understanding in the coenunciativeprocess.

The New Orleans Police Department history dates back to the 1800’s. Since its inception, the department has been pledged by misconduct, low morale, and low public opinion. This research used Akers Social Structure, and Social learning theory or SSSL to understand the socialization process of the department and determine if the process could attribute for misconduct, the blue wall of silence, and the thin blue line. A case study was conducted in which twenty former NOPD officers on the department from 1979 to 2004 were interviewed. They were only identified by race, gender, and the number of years on the police department. The interviews were transcribed coded and two themes emerged: “Journey to Blue” and “Cop’s Eyes.” Journey to Blue, was the transformation process to become a police officer. The steps involved the hiring process, the police academy, field training officers (FTO), mentors, and the early years on the department. Cop’s Eyes was the process of seeing the world as a police officer. It was determined training, experience, and social integrity were integral parts of being able to see the world as a cop. Cop’s Eyes became the way an officer sees the world both on and off-duty, they were not able to turn it on or off. Further, it was determined, socialization changes throughout decades, socialization influences policy violations, and officers rarely if ever see corruption. The academy was the beginning of the development of cop’s eyes, and field training officers were the primary source of socialization both good and bad. Future research would involve duplicating and comparative analysis of twenty former NOPD officers who were involved in misconduct.
