INFANTS’ PERCEPTION OF EMOTION FROM DYNAMIC BODY MOVEMENTS

Zieber, Nicole R. 01 January 2012 (has links)
In humans, the capacity to extract meaning from another person’s behavior is fundamental to social competency. Adults recognize emotions conveyed by body movements with comparable accuracy to when they are portrayed in facial expressions. While infancy research has examined the development of facial and vocal emotion processing extensively, no prior study has explored infants’ perception of emotion from body movements. The current studies examined the development of emotion processing from body gestures. In Experiment 1, I asked whether 6.5-month-olds infants would prefer to view emotional versus neutral body movements. The results indicate that infants prefer to view a happy versus a neutral body action when the videos are presented upright, but fail to exhibit a preference when the videos are inverted. This suggests that the preference for the emotional body movement was not driven by low-level features (such as the amount or size of the movement displayed), but rather by the affective content displayed. Experiments 2A and 2B sought to extend the findings of Experiment 1 by asking whether infants are able to match affective body expressions to their corresponding vocal emotional expressions. In both experiments, infants were tested using an intermodal preference technique: Infants were exposed to a happy and an angry body expression presented side by side while hearing either a happy or angry vocalization. An inverted condition was included to investigate whether matching was based solely upon some feature redundantly specified across modalities (e.g., tempo). In Experiment 2A, 6.5-month-old infants looked longer at the emotionally congruent videos when they were presented upright, but did not display a preference when the same videos were inverted. In Experiment 2B, 3.5-month-olds tested in the same manner exhibited a preference for the incongruent video in the upright condition, but did not show a preference when the stimuli were inverted. These results demonstrate that even young infants are sensitive to emotions conveyed by bodies, indicating that sophisticated emotion processing capabilities are present early in life.

Sociological investigation of infant overlaying death

Sartain, Sheree January 2012 (has links)
Overlaying was a common nineteenth century explanation of sudden infant death while bedsharing. This thesis shows that in many cases the term overlaying was a misnomer, and instead it identifies infant overlaying death as a socio-structural historical event that can best be understood within a sociological and social constructionist framework. It expands on the work of Giddens, Elias and Archer to develop a theoretical perspective that incorporates ideas about structuration, sequestration, figuration and reflexivity. It also deploys concepts such as motherhood, infancy, infant care, the family and intimacy to explore and analyse its research materials and develops two further explanatory concepts; reflexive motherhood and the sequestration of infancy. The thesis uses ideas around discourse as socio-structural conditions of action in order to expand current understanding of overlaying death, and it explores and analyses public representations of overlaying during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to detail the discourse of overlaying. It goes on to identify cases of overlaying in Somers Town, St Pancras, c1900; and it shows the influence of social conditions in regard to the way such deaths were interpreted. It then examines other cases of sudden infant death in bed through the case notes of pathologist Dr Ludwig Freyberger, and analyses these in terms of the domestic setting and the body. It goes on to detail and analyse a dispute between Coroner John Troutbeck, Dr Freyberger and the GPs of south west London to show the ways in which the overlaying discourse was deployed to support the claims and positions of those involved. Overlaying subsequently became detached from the domestic context in which it was embedded and used to support discourses around infant mortality, maternal ‘ignorance’, medicine, national efficiency and temperance. The thesis provides a historiography of infant overlaying death and concludes that overlaying was constructed as social category of death through the actions of individuals in extensive networks of interdependence in relation to socio-structural conditions.

Early life histories : a study of past childhood diet and health using stable isotopes and enamel hypoplasia

Henderson, Rowena Claire January 2015 (has links)
The &delta;&delta;<sup>13</sup>C and &delta;<sup>15</sup>N composition of incremental segments of tooth dentine was used to infer infant and childhood diet in a post-medieval London population, and a hunting and gathering Mesolithic/Neolithic group from Latvia. Health was analysed using defects on the tooth enamel caused by stress, termed enamel hypoplasia. The populations, which differ markedly in their economy, diet and health, were selected because of the difference in childhood experiences between the two groups. The results were used to consider questions about childhood, including how early diet may have been influenced by social factors such as class or status, the effect this could have on population dynamics and how childhood diet and health are related. The results show that the London individuals were rarely breastfed beyond 6 months and in some instances not at all. A small isotopic difference between males and females was observed which could be caused by dietary or physiological differences. The peak incidence of hypoplasia may be related to developmental patterns, rather than stress caused by weaning. The Zvejnieki individuals had a slightly longer breastfeeding duration. Those buried with pendants consumed a different diet in childhood to those without pendants, suggesting a complex social system, possibly indicating that diet was related to the role a person had within the community. There is a suggestion diet may have shifted between the Middle Mesolithic and Late Neolithic, although not dramatically. Neither population have elevated &delta;<sup>13</sup>C often associated with breastfeeding. The early life histories of the groups are not compared directly, but general observations concerning the children’s lives are considered. It is concluded that economy is not a reliable predictor of infant feeding strategies, as hunter-gatherers provide children with solid foods at a similar time to industrial groups. Intra-population variability was found to be a feature of all socio-economic groups.

[en] THE REVERSE OF THE TREASURE: NOTES ABOUT A NEGOCIATION OF INFANCY IN THE BOOKS OF MONTEIRO LOBATO / [pt] O AVESSO DO TESOURO: NOTAS SOBRE A NEGOCIAÇÃO DA INFÂNCIA EM TORNO DOS LIVROS DE MONTEIRO LOBATO

GOSHAI DAIAN LOUREIRO 04 December 2012 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação estabelece um percurso regressivo desde as recentes polê-micas em torno da suposta censura de Caçadas de Pedrinho pelo Conselho Na-cional de Educação e até as primeiras histórias infantis escritas pelo escritor na década de 1920. A primeira parte do percurso esboça as tensões e conflitos em torno da imagem póstuma de Monteiro Lobato e do valor (positivo ou negativo) na segunda metade do século XX. Regredindo, a narrativa ultrapassa a morte do escritor (1948), enfoca sua relação com o público leitor e seu projeto para a litera-tura infantil brasileira no contraste com escritores contemporâneos como Adelina Lopes Vieira e Júlia Lopes de Almeida, Olavo Bilac, Coelho Neto e Manuel Bon-fim, Viriato Corrêa e João do Rio. Finalmente, analisa em detalhes algumas das principais reformulações nas histórias reunidas em Reinações de Narizinho. Du-rante o percurso constata-se a ausência de um estatuto literário consolidado para os livros infantis, a indistinção entre livros escolares e livros para crianças, e o conflito entre dois conceitos distintos de infância: um que valoriza a imaginação e a fantasia e outro que suprime esses aspectos dado o imperativo da colonização da alma infantil pelos valores morais e cívicos do mundo adulto. Concomitantemen-te, todo o trabalho se subordina à discussão central sobre os modos pelos quais os livros infantis se constituem em instrumentos de negociação da infância, e não apenas representações diretas da realidade social. / [en] This dissertation establishes a regressive course from the recent controver-sies about the supposed censorship of the Caçadas de Pedrinho by the National Council of Education even the first children’s stories written by the author in the 1920’s. A first part of the trajectory sketch’s the tensions and conflicts about the post morten image of Monteiro Lobato and the value (positive or negative) on the second half of the 20th century. Going back, the narrative surpasses the death of the author (1948), focus the relationship with the readers and his project for a Bra-zilian infantile literature in a contrast with contemporary writers as Adelina Lopes Vieira and Júlia Lopes de Almeida, Olavo Bilac, Coelho Neto and Manuel Bonfim, Viriato Corrêa and João do Rio. Finally, analyses in detail some of the main reformulations in the assembled stories of Reinações de Narizinho. Along the way it is noticed the absence of a consolidated literary statute for children’s books, the indistinction between school’s and children’s books, and the conflict between two different concepts of infancy: one that values the imagination and fantasy and another that conceals these aspects given the imperative of coloniza-tion of the children’s souls by civic and moral values of the adult world. At the same time, all the work subordinates a central discussion about the ways children books constitutes in instruments of social negotiations of infancy, and not only representations of the same thing.

Patterns of injury and pathology in paediatric deaths processed at the Johannesburg Forensic Pathology Service over the period 2009 - 2011

Thornton, Roxanne 22 April 2015 (has links)
Division of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, University of the Witwatersrand Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Medicine In the Health Science Faculty University of Witwatersrand Johannesburg 2014 / Within the field of paediatric pathology dominant universal trends have emerged with child abuse related fatalities and child murders being at the forefront. However, several authors have noted that such trends have not been documented within the South African context. This is due to the lack of data collection and research within South Africa. Patterns of injury and prevalence of paediatric fatalities received at the Johannesburg Forensic Pathology Service (JHB FPS) over three years were observed through a descriptive, retrospective study. Data were collected from FPS case files and Police reports (SAPS180) accompanying the body to the mortuary. The results indicated that the majority of paediatric deaths were due to blunt force injuries, natural disease processes and drowning. Subdural and subarachnoid haematomas, multiple blunt force internal injuries, hyperinflation and consolidation of the lungs and features of dehydration were the dominant patterns of injuries and disease. Additionally, results exhibited a significant difference in age range when correlated to category of death as well as a high risk of mortality within the first year of life. This study highlights the alarming figures of accidental and socio-economic paediatric death cases which are received at the JHB FPS. Keywords: Child mortality, Injury patterns, Forensic Pathology

Frequency of stavudine substitution due to toxicity in children receiving antiretroviral treatment in Soweto, South Africa

Palmer, Megan 25 April 2014 (has links)
Introduction: Stavudine is a commonly used drug in paediatric antiretroviral treatment (ART) regimens. Due to toxicity concerns, however, the drug abacavir has replaced stavudine in first-line paediatric regimens inmany countries.Wedescribe the frequency of stavudine toxicity in children receiving ART at a treatment clinic in Soweto, South Africa. Methods: Data on patient characteristics and outcomes of ART were collected from a cohort of 2222 HIV-infected children initiating ART between 2004 and 2008 when stavudine-containing regimenswere routinely recommended. At several time-points after treatment initiation, we estimate the proportion of children where an attending clinician discontinued stavudine due to lipodystrophy, pancreatitis, lactic acidosis or peripheral neuropathy. Factors associated with stavudine-related toxicities were identified. Results: At ART initiation, most children had advanced disease. The majority initiated an efavirenz/lamivudine/stavudine regimen (n¼1422), and 76% of children remained on their initial ART regimen after a median 19.9 months of ART. Replacement of stavudine due to drug toxicity occurred at a rate of 28.8 per 1000 child years on treatment (95% confidence interval¼23.6–35.2). Rates of toxicity increased with treatment duration (in their first year of ART stavudine was replaced in 0.5% of children, but after 3 years stavudine had been changed to abacavir in 12.6% of children). Toxicity was more common in older children and in girls. Lipodystrophy accounted for 87 of 96 toxic events. Conclusion: Stavudine-associated toxicity resulting in single-drug substitution was uncommon in this cohort, though its frequency increased steadily with ART duration, especially with lipodystrophy. Where drug options are limited, stavudine remains a relatively well tolerated and effective option for children.

Relevância filosófica das pequenas coisas: a infância no livro I das Confissões de Agostinho de Hipona / Philosophical relevance of small things: infancy on the book I of Augustines of Hippo Confessions

Rufino, Jose Renivaldo 31 January 2011 (has links)
Agostinho confere relevância especial às coisas simples. Na infância, cuja estatura é signo da humildade própria das coisas ínfimas, deleita-se com a verdade nos seus pequenos pensamentos sobre pequenas coisas. Este deleite, na alma da criança com mínimo de ser, remete à verdade de Deus, com máximo de ser. Com máximo de ser, Deus se humilha ao ponto de assumir a condição humana, nascer como criança e com humildade contrária à soberba anular o efeito da queda causada pela soberba. Fundamento da humildade que é, poderia ser pensado menor que o homem, pois sendo Deus se fez homem. Se assim fosse, o ser com máximo de ser seria, paradoxalmente, o ser com mínimo de ser. Mas não é, pois quando Deus desce à condição inferior é para elevar o homem à condição superior. Esta é a análise a que se propõe este trabalho. / Augustine confers special relevance to simple things. In infancy, whose stature is a sign of the humility characteristic of the lowest things, he delights in the truth in their small thoughts about small things. This delight, within the child with the least of being, remits to the truth of God, with the highest of being. Yet with highest of being, God humbles himself to the point of assuming the human condition, being born as a child and, with humility contrary to pride, nullifies the effect of the fall caused by pride. The foundation of humility that he is, he could be considered less than man, because being God he became man. If it were thus, the being with highest of being would, paradoxically, be the being with the least of being. But it is not like that, because when God descends to the inferior condition, hit is to elevate man to the superior condition. This is the analysis that this work proposes.

Maus-tratos físicos de crianças: contribuições para a avaliação de fatores de risco psicossociais / Physical maltreatment of children: contributions to the evaluation of psychosocial risk factors

Bergamo, Lilian Paula Degobbi 26 November 2007 (has links)
Sabe-se que o fenômeno dos maus-tratos se constitui em uma problemática complexa que envolve na sua etiologia vários fatores, sendo necessária a observação deste fenômeno por uma perspectiva multidimensional. A abordagem Ecológico-Sistêmica do desenvolvimento humano e o modelo teórico Transacional pressupõem, respectivamente, a existência de diversos contextos e variáveis de risco que se influenciam mutuamente para a produção dos maus-tratos. Dentro disto, numerosas pesquisas, principalmente no âmbito internacional, têm encontrado associação significativa entre a problemática dos maus-tratos e variáveis no nível ontogenético, no microssistema, e no exossistema, dispondo-se inclusive de um conhecimento quanto às especificidades referentes a cada tipo de maus-tratos em particular. Neste panorama, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo verificar se a associação entre determinados fatores de risco atinentes à figura do cuidador e os maus-tratos físicos seria encontrada na realidade brasileira. Vale destacar que os fatores priorizados no estudo referem-se a aspectos psicológicos, como a angústia, nível de estresse associado à função parental, nível de apoio social, estilo parental e histórico de maus-tratos na própria infância. Para tanto, comparou-se dois grupos de pais/cuidadores, sendo um notificado ao Conselho Tutelar devido a abusos físicos contra os filhos (Grupo Clínico) e outro sem histórico conhecido de abuso (Grupo de Comparação), ambos constituídos por trinta participantes (n=60), pareados entre si em características sócio-demográficas, como nível econômico e educacional, situação conjugal e número de filhos / crianças sob seus cuidados. O primeiro grupo foi recrutado a partir dos registros do Conselho Tutelar e o segundo foi composto por conveniência, a partir de indicações, na comunidade. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados tiveram a função de avaliar um ou mais fatores de risco, sendo eles: o Child Abuse Potential Inventory CAP; o Índice de Estresse Parental ISP; o Inventário de Estilos Parentais IEP; o Questionário de Apoio Social - QAS e a Entrevista da História da Infância do Adulto. É necessário sublinhar que também foi utilizado um Questionário de Caracterização Sócio-demográfica, sendo que os dados coletados com este instrumento permitiam caracterizar os respondentes para proceder à equiparação dos grupos, mas também levantar algumas informações referentes a variáveis de risco no plano sócio-demográfico. Cada instrumento foi corrigido segundo seus próprios critérios, sendo que os dados obtidos puderam ser categorizados e comparados estatisticamente por meio do teste t de Student para amostras independentes ou Mann Whitney Rank Sum Test, quando necessário. Os dados obtidos com a História da Infância do Adulto foram, primeiramente, analisados descritivamente, por meio da obtenção de freqüências e porcentagens e, quando possível, utilizou-se o teste Qui-quadrado ou o teste Exato de Fisher, para também comparar estatisticamente os grupos, adotando-se como nível de significância p 0,05. Os resultados encontrados indicaram diferenças significativas (p< 0,05) entre os grupos para a maioria das dimensões que compõem a Escala de Abuso do CAP: angústia, rigidez, problemas com a criança e consigo e problemas com os outros, verificando-se um maior potencial de risco para os participantes do grupo clínico em relação ao grupo de comparação. Quanto ao ISP, os grupos apresentaram diferenças em relação à dimensão características da criança e no escore total, indicando que o grupo clínico vive mais estresse nas interações com a criança do que o grupo de comparação. No IEP os grupos se diferenciaram somente na dimensão monitoria positiva, denotando que o grupo clínico emprega com menos freqüência práticas positivas na educação dos filhos que o grupo de comparação. O QAS diferenciou os grupos nas dimensões de apoio afetivo, de interação social positiva e no escore total, apontando também que os participantes do grupo clínico se percebem com menos apoio social do que o grupo de comparação. A análise da História da Infância indicou que de forma geral, os adultos pertencentes ao grupo clínico viveram mais situações difíceis na infância que o grupo de comparação, sendo que estas, por vezes, se configuraram em situações de maus-tratos. Os grupos se diferenciaram também no que se refere a duas variáveis sócio-demográficas específicas: a idade do responsável por ocasião do nascimento do primeiro filho e o grau de satisfação com o bairro, denotando que os participantes do grupo clínico eram mais jovens que os do grupo de comparação por ocasião do nascimento do primeiro filho, tendo em média 19 anos, e que também eram mais insatisfeitos com o local de moradia que os do grupo de comparação. Os resultados permitem dizer que as variáveis que discriminam os dois grupos compõem indicadores de risco para os maus-tratos físicos em nosso contexto sócio-cultural, corroborando o que é apresentado na literatura científica, quanto aos fatores que reiteradamente têm se mostrado associados ao problema no âmbito internacional. Todos eles, tomados em separado ou conjuntamente, podem servir para orientar o desenvolvimento e a avaliação de programas de prevenção primária e/ou secundária, na comunidade. / Child maltreatment is a complex problem that involves in your etiology several factors, being necessary a multiform perspective to understand it. The Ecological-Systemic approach of human development and the Transactional theoretical model presuppose, respectively, the existence of several contexts and variables of risk that are influenced itself mutually for the production of the maltreatments. The present study aimed to establish whether exists or not association between certain risk factors relating to parents and physical abuse in Brazilian reality. The psychological aspects investigated were: distress, level of stress associated to the parental function, level of social support, parental style and historical of maltreatments in the own childhood. Two groups composed by thirty participants were compared (n=60): the first one was composed by parents who were reported to child protection agencies due to physical abuse against their children (Clinical Group) and the second one had no historical abuse (comparison group) composed by convenience form indications from the community. Both group were matched in social-demographics characteristics, as economic and educational level, conjugal situation and number of own children or children under its cares. The instruments used for data collection were: Child Abuse Potential Inventory CAP; the Parenting Stress Index ISP; the Inventário de Estilos Parentais IEP; the Questionário de Apoio Social QAS and the Entrevista da História da Infância do Adulto. Instruments were codified and statistical analyses were made to compare data from the two groups. Significance level was p 0,05. Results pointed out significant differences between the two groups for most of the dimensions from CAP Abuse Scale: distress, rigidity, problems with child and self, and problems from others. It was also verified a higher risk potential for physical abuse related to the participants of the clinical group. With regards to ISP, the groups presented differences related to the child\'s characteristic dimension and in its total score, pointing that clinical group has more stress during interactions with their children than comparison group. The IEP showed differences between groups only for the dimension of positive supervision, denoting that the clinical group uses less frequently positive practices in the children\'s education. QAS differentiated the groups in the dimensions of affective support, of positive social interaction and in the total score which means that clinical group has less social support than the comparison group. The analysis of the history of the Childhood indicated that in a general way, the adults belonging to the clinical group had lived more difficult situations than the comparison group. The two groups also differed in two specific social-demographic variables: the age of mother/father at the first child\'s birth and the satisfaction degree related to neighborhood, denoting that the participants of the clinical group were younger in the occasion of the first child\'s birth (median= 19 years old) and that they were also more unsatisfied with the home place. The results allow us to say that the variables that discriminate the two groups are indicators of risk for physical maltreatments in our social-cultural context. That corroborate with what is pointed in the scientific literature, with relation to factors that repeatedly have been showed associated to the problem of physical maltreatment in the international ambit. These results may help us, in Brazilian context, guiding the development and the evaluation of primary or secondary prevention programs in the community.
