Participaram um dentista e seis crianças, que apresentavam comportamentos n.o-colaborativos, com 4 a 5 anos de idade. Estas foram distribuídas aleatoriamente nas condições; A, B e C; que tinham seis, sete e oito sessões, respectivamente. A dentista podia utilizar qualquer estratégia de manejo do comportamento. Era permitido ao dentista utilizar CF na 3ª e 5ª sessão na condição A; na 4ª e 6ª na Condição B e na 5ª e 7ª na Condição C. As 42 sessões foram filmadas e as respostas dos participantes categorizadas em intervalos de 15 segundos. Os dados foram apresentados em taxas de respostas por minuto por sessão (Capítulo 1) e taxa de respostas por minuto acumulada por rotina (Capítulo 2). No Capítulo 1, participaram um dentista e três crianças e teve o objetivo de identificar os efeitos da CF sobre o comportamento do dentista e da criança. Pode-se observar que a Recusa das três crianças diminuíram e que Choro e Reclamação aumentaram no decorrer das sessões. O dentista empregou CF em todas as sessões, de todas as crianças, em que esta era permitida, at. mesmo em sessões em que as taxas de recusa da criança eram menores em relação ao choro. Concluiu-se que a CF foi uma estratégia aversiva para o dentista e para as crianças. No Capítulo 2, que participaram um dentista e outras três crianças e objetivou analisar funcionalmente os comportamentos do dentista frente aos comportamentos de não colaboração da criança durante o atendimento odontológico, com ou sem o uso de contenção física, observou-se que a estratégia mais utilizada pelo dentista foi explicação (em todas as sessões) e CF (nas sessões com permissão de CF). Após o uso de CF, as respostas de choro iniciaram. O profissional não conseguiu discriminar os comportamentos de recusa e choro e utilizou CF até mesmo nos momentos em que as taxas de recusa, mais prováveis de impedir a execução do tratamento, eram menores do que as de choro. Pode se concluir que a estratégia de instrução não foi eficaz na produção de comportamentos de colaboração nas crianças e que a CF foi aversiva, já que reduziu os comportamentos que impediam a realização do tratamento e produziu reações emocionais e de protesto. No geral, pode se concluir que a estratégia utilizada pelo dentista para modificar o comportamento da criança foi a CF. Para todas as crianças, a contenção física mostrou-se ser uma estratégia aversiva que ocasionou respostas emocionais e não permitiu a aquisição de comportamentos de colaboração com o tratamento. Para o dentista, a contenção física também foi aversiva e não permitiu que este emitisse comportamentos que poderiam favorecer a colaboração da criança. A estratégia mais utilizada pelo dentista nas sessões em que estava, ou não, impedido de empregar a contenção física, não foi eficaz na produção de comportamentos que permitissem a realização do tratamento / Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dentist's and the child's behavior in dental care sessions utilizing physical restraint (PR). One dentist and three children (P1, P2 and P3) who presented non-cooperative behavior, aged 4 and 5 years old, participated in this study. They were randomly assigned in the conditions A, B and C, which contained 6, 7 and 8 sessions, respectively. PR (condition A) could occur in the 3rd and 5th session, in the 4th and 6th session (B) and 5th and 7th session (C). The sessions were filmed and the participant's responses were categorized in every 15 seconds. The data was presented in response rate per minute. In Chapter 1, one dentist and three children participated and the aim was to identify the effects of PR on dentist's and child's behavior. It was possible to observe that the children's refusal to cooperate decreased, and that crying and complaining increased throughout the sessions. The dentist used PR in all the session in which it was allowed, even in sessions where the refusal rate of the child was lower than the crying rate. PR proved to be aversive and its use is not recommended as a psychological strategy. In Chapter 2, one dentist and three children participated and the purpose was to functionally describe the dentist's behaviors based on the child's non-cooperation conduct during dental treatment, with or without the use of PR. It was observed that the strategy used by the dentist was more explanation and PR. After the use of PR, the children started to cry. The professional failed to discriminate the behaviors of refusal and cry and used PR even at situations in which the rates of refusal, most likely to preclude the treatment, were lower than those of crying. It can be concluded that the strategy instruction was not effective and that the PR was aversive, since it reduced the behaviors that precluded the treatment and produced emotional reactions and protest. In general, it can be concluded that the strategy used by the dentist to modify the child's behavior was PR. For all children, PR proved to be an aversive strategy and did not allow the acquisition of compliance behaviors with treatment. For the dentist, PR was also aversive and did not allow the acquisition of behaviors that could facilitate child's cooperation. The most common strategy used by the dentist in the sessions with and without PR was instruction. This was not effective in producing behaviors that allow treatment accomplishment / Doutorado / Saude da Criança e do Adolescente / Doutor em Ciências

A questão básica que orienta esta dissertação é a análise de como as transformações tecnológicas e a transdisciplinaridade afetam as mudanças de paradigma na disciplina arquitetônica. Trata-se de um estudo de caso que procura identificar quais são as transformações impostas pela inserção dos meios digitais no cotidiano humano, suas implicações no pensamento, gênese e produção arquitetônica contemporânea e, finalmente, estudar projetos que abordem essas reflexões. O principal objetivo da pesquisa é investigar como a concepção de projetos arquitetônicos pode ser ampliada para que corresponda à complexidade intrínseca aos novos modos de ser e estar inerentes à sociedade pós-industrial do século XXI. Dentro desse contexto, numa atmosfera em que os suportes digitais estão, cada vez mais, vinculados à existência humana, procura-se entender as inter-relações entre concreto e virtual na configuração de uma nova espacialidade. Apresenta-se então uma reflexão a partir de alguns projetos contemporâneos selecionados ¿ protótipos e experimentos que retomam questões advindas do universo conceitual da virtualidade ¿ cujo desenho e/ou conceito são indissociáveis de ambientes virtuais, sendo esses projetos pensados como espacialidades materializáveis ou não. Como método de análise os projetos selecionados serão estudados a partir de seis critérios: programa, sítio de implantação, conceito e partido, resposta formal, interação com o ambiente externo e interação com o usuário. A intenção é analisar como as possibilidades espaciais dos ambientes virtuais e concretos vêm nutrindo-se mutuamente e as formas de diálogo entre imaterialidade e materialidade / Abstract: This work investigates the impact of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Architecture itself as well as in its dialogues with others areas of knowledge. The basic question which orients this dissertation is the analysis of how the technological transformations and the transdisciplinarity have affected the paradigm changes in the architectural discipline. This is a case study that seeks to identify which are the transformations imposed by the insertion of digital means in human beings¿ daily lives, also its implications in contemporary architectural thought, genesis and production. Finally, it intends to study projects that address such reflections. The research¿s main goal is to investigate how the conception of architectural projects may be amplified in order to correspond to the intrinsic complexity of the new modes of being that are inherent to the post-industrial society of the 21st century. In this context ¿ in an atmosphere in which more and more the digital supports are linked to the human existence ¿ the intention is to understand the interrelationships between concrete and virtual in the configuration of a new spatiality. Thus, the work presents a reflection that stems from a few selected contemporary projects ¿ prototypes and experiments which retrieve questions that derive from the conceptual universe of virtuality ¿ whose drawing and/or concept are inseparable from virtual environments, considering these projects as spatialities which are possible or not to materialize. As a methodology of analysis, the selected projects will be studied according to six criteria: program, implementation site, architectural concept, formal response, interaction with the external environment and interaction with the user. The intention is analyzing how the spatial possibilities of the virtual and concrete environments have been mutually feeding each other, also studying the forms of dialogue between immateriality and materiality / Mestrado / Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade / Mestra em Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade

The construction industry has in the current situation twice as many accidents and work-related health issues than other industries. A good safety culture within organizations is what can cover the parts that cannot be caught up by routines and policies, in other words the human behavior. The overall purpose of this study was therefore to investigate how a good safety culture can be promoted within organizations. The research questions comprise safety, routines, goals and expectations experienced by the work group, and how openness around safety can be promoted within organizations. Through qualitative semi-structured interviews, the work group has been able to share their own subjective experiences. The data has been thematically analyzed. The results show that a good safety culture can be promoted by knowledge about the factors that affect the individual’s safety, communication and clarity from the management, to integrate conversations about safety into the day-to-day operations as well as a good understanding of why reporting and documentation are important. The challenges that the work-group faces are primarily to create understanding, involvement and participation, grading risks and integrating systematic work environment work into daily operations. / Bygg- och anläggningsbranschen har i dagsläget dubbelt så många olyckor och arbetsrelaterade sjukdomar jämfört med andra branscher. En god säkerhetskultur inom organisationer är vad som kan täcka de delar som inte kan fångas upp av rutiner och policys, det vill säga det mänskliga beteendet. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie var därför att undersöka hur en god säkerhetskultur kan främjas inom organisationer. Frågeställningarna innefattar arbetsgruppens upplevda säkerhetsarbete, rutiner, vilka mål och förväntningar som finns samt hur en öppenhet kring säkerhetsfrågor kan främjas. Genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer har arbetsgruppen fått berätta om deras egna subjektiva upplevelser. Datan har analyserats genom tematisk analys och jämförts med tidigare forskning inom organisations- och säkerhetskultur. Resultatet visar att en god säkerhetskultur kan främjas genom kunskap om de faktorer som påverkar individens säkerhet, kommunikation och tydlighet från ledning, utrymme för att integrera samtal om säkerhet i den dagliga verksamheten samt en god förståelse om varför rapportering och dokumentering är viktigt. De utmaningar arbetsgruppen står inför är framförallt att skapa förståelse, involvering och delaktighet, gradera risker samt att integrera det systematiska arbetsmiljöarbetet på ett naturligt sätt i den dagliga verksamheten.

Titleofwork: Combat sports motivation. Workobjective: The aim of this diploma thesis is to determine motives for participating in certain combat sports and to examine if the individual combat sports vary from each other or whether there is a common motive. The further objective is to examine a motive for combat sports in general. Usedmethods: The diploma thesis is designed as a quantitative research using a questionnaire survey. To compile the anonymous questionnaire, the international multidimensional standardized questionnaire The Sport Motivation Scale "SMS-28" was used. The standardized questionnaire was supplemented by questions to determine the sex, age and type of combat sport. The data acquired were then statistically evaluated using pivot tables and research questions were acquired by Pareto analysis. Results: It was discovered that the most important component of motivation for combat sports in general is the inner motivation to experience, on the contrary, the least important for the respondents was the external regulation. The individual combat sports differentiated then by a different spectrum of motivation. However, there were three combat sports, in particular, karate, MMA and judo, which had common type of motivation, particularly to experience the inner motivation. Regarding...

Artificial life modelling is an extensive subject to exert effort in one piece of work such as this work. For that reason this work is limited to keep the base line of modelling of human behavior. Presented work deal with a creation of an artificial agent whose human-like behavior is implemented according to the PECS reference model. Specification of the PECS reference model is implemented in Java to build a simulation of artificial human being in some environment. Modeled human being has been assigned to imitate human activities, react adequately to sensed events from the environment and change the environment to achieve its goals. Modeled human being is a behavior controled entity acting according to its current role.

This thesis is an exploration of the perceptions of a group of humans in interaction with a group of non-human primates in a professional animal research setting. The study is a novel investigation in the field of intercultural relations, exploring the values and beliefs of a group of research employees, and the intercultural competence and sensitivity these employees model in their interactions with the animals they work with. A focus group was conducted at the Oregon National Primate Research Center and 8 individuals working with non-human primates were interviewed. They were asked a series of 15 open-ended questions in order to explore their identification and appreciation of cultural differences, as well as their general strategies for adapting to cultural difference in the context of an animal research setting. The results of this meeting reflect a range of perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs relative to culture and the possibility of an intercultural relationship between species.

Over the last five years, the amount of retail investors has increased immensely. Trying to make informed decisions, many of the more active investors look to social media as a source of information. In early 2021, the eyes of the world focused on retail investors as Gamestop, a video game retailing company, experienced an immense price surge over the course of a few weeks on the stock market. This event, among others, lead the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) to open up a discussion about the impact of social media on the stock market. It seemed individual social media accounts were able to increase the volatility in a number of different stocks. This study investigates the immediate impact of larger Swedish Twitter accounts on the volatility and price of Swedish small- cap companies. Sentiment analysis and data modeling in the Python programming language were used in order to compare volatility and price changes before and after tweets of different sentiments were made about the companies. Our study was unable to find any correlation between an immediate change in price or an immediate increase in volatility and tweets made, suggesting Swedish finance Twitter accounts have little to no immediate impact on Swedish small- cap companies. / Under de senaste fem åren har antalet privata investerare ökat markant. När privata investerare försöker göra välgrundade investeringsbeslut brukar de ofta använda inlägg på sociala medier som ledstjärna. Tidigt på år 2021 vändes blickarna mot privata investerare när priset på spelåterförsäljningsföretaget Gamestops aktier ökat med flera hundratals procent under bara loppet av några få veckor. Denna prisökning fick SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission i USA) att inleda en diskussion om inverkan av sociala medier på aktiehandeln. Mycket påvisade att individuella konton på sociala medier hade förmågan att öka volatilitet av aktiepriser för vissa bolag. Det här forskningsprojektet ämnar att undersöka den omedelbara inverkan av svenska twitterkonton på pris och volatilitet av pris av svenska småföretags aktier. Sentimentanalys och datamodellering gjordes i programmeringsspråket Python för att jämföra volatilitet och prisändringar innan och efter tweets av olika sentiment gjordes om de olika företagen. Studien lyckades inte visa på korrelation mellan en omedelbar ändring i pris eller omedelbar ökning i volatilitet och gjorda tweets, vilket tyder på att twitterkonton har inget eller väldigt lite inflytande på svenska småföretag.

The main purpose of this dissertation is to assess ontological issues of information acquisition, focusing on information overload from an integrative perspective of two theoretical foundations, which links two perspectives of consumer behavior in information acquisition: foraging theory in behavioral ecology and information processing theory in marketing. Applying to the integrative investigation, the current research primarily emphasizes the infusion of ecological rationality (i.e., Darwinian Theory) into normative rationality (i.e., Newtonian Theory), but it is not alternative but complementary to each other. Ecological rationality, which is rooted in Darwinism, emphasizes that human behavior has developed through adaptation and natural selection as the human minds interact with environments. The current study consists of five chapters: the philosophical foundation of the rationalities, exploratory study, proposed hypotheses, empirical tests, and general discussion. A summary of the contents of each chapter is: The first chapter aims to provide an integrative framework of consumer information acquisition in order to explore ontological issues in information overload paradigm, attempting to synthesize different approaches in marketing and behavioral ecology. To explore, the current study emphasizes an integrative perspective between two theories for information acquisition (foraging and information processing), which are based on different philosophical foundations of the rationality (ecological and normative). Along with the process of the information acquisition, this study provides relevant consequences (decision-related responses and decision-related alternatives) after the information acquisition process and influential factors in temporal and psychological dimensions (time and motivation). Then, the conceptual study provides conclusion and the current research scope. The second chapter aims to examine the efficacy of the current study's theoretical integration in the process of consumer information foraging so as to approach an ontological issue in information overload paradigm: more information is better vs. less information is better (i.e., information processing theory and foraging theory under an information overload paradigm). Therefore, this study explores and examines what can be appropriate information structures to describe the ontological issue in the process of consumer information foraging. To formulate the adequate information structure, this study attempts to utilize an integrative perspective between marketing and behavioral ecology. This study examines consumers' online activities sequentially from a broad to detail approach, based on the categories of goods and services. The result, by and large, suggests a necessity of an integrative perspective to view a holistic information structure, including quantity, quality, and environment components. These structural components interactively communicate with minds when shaping the process of the consumer information foraging, which are likely to involve in the degree of information overload. Moreover, results demonstrate rather higher variation of strategic information foraging but emphasize some important communality in the initial stage of information foraging, such as the role of search engine and interpersonal communication. In addition, categories of goods and services affect shaping the pattern of strategic information foraging. Then, the conclusion of the study provides. The third chapter aims to propose a hypothetical model, based on the theoretical backgrounds in Chapter 1 and the findings of the exploratory study in Chapter 2. In addition, the pilot study was conducted to provide a concrete framework of the empirical study by checking the manipulation of holistic information structures. The manipulation of the structures includes the total quantity of information, the quality of information, and environmental information. Those structures measured on several resultant consequences, using the patch concepts (within-patch and between-patch). Controversially, in general, consumers tend to prefer more information rather than less information only when arranged information provides; otherwise, this preference attenuates. This controversial result also has conflicting variations, depending on the types of patches. Overall, the comparison in the within-patch and between-patch through displaying heterogeneous information structures suggests that holistic information structures are a more important factor than the mere quantity or quality of information. The fourth chapter empirically tests the theory-based hypothetical frameworks to assess the ontological issues in information overload paradigm using the integrative perspective of the two information acquisition theories. The findings of the empirical study suggest that the real-world information overload is not simply determined by a single dominant factor (e.g., quantity), but by the interplay of intricately intertwined factors. The factors are the following: information structures (three unarranged and four arranged information structures, including quantity, quality and environment), item categories (durables, nondurables and services), and time constraints (time pressure vs. no time pressure). The interwoven complexity implies that paradigmatic change of perspectives in relation with information overload though integrating two important conceptual factors between domain-specific dependency and universality. Moreover, the information overload begins with the browsing stage of acquiring the necessary information, not with the searching stage, suggesting the view of browsing-searching continuum that underscores the important role of the patch concept. As a whole, the conclusive findings suggest an integrative perspective between Darwinism and Non-Darwinism as a prerequisite of providing a better comprehension of the issues of the information overload paradigm. The fifth chapter is the section of general discussion including major findings, theoretical, methodological and empirical implications, limitations, and conclusive statement. / Business Administration/Marketing
