Les symptômes de conversion hystérique, qui se définissent comme une atteinte fonctionnelle des fonctions motrices et/ou sensorielles sans que l’on puisse en donner une causalité physiologique, posent une énigme à l’explication scientifique et médicale. Cette étude se focalise plus particulièrement sur les paralysies motrices hystériques où les investigations neurologiques récentes sont plus nombreuses et bien documentées. À partir de cette problématique, les représentations des rapports psyché/soma sont interrogées et comparées dans les champs des neurosciences et de la psychanalyse.Dans les neurosciences, les rapports soma/psyché peuvent être ramenés à des conceptions monistes de type physicaliste, qui font du psychisme un épiphénomène issu du traitement de l’information dans les réseaux neuronaux (position qualifiée d’éliminationiste), ou bien à des conceptions dualistes qui s’ignorent plus ou moins suivant les chercheurs.La perspective du nouage borroméen du dernier Lacan, quant à la structure du parlêtre (nouage RSI), nous permettent de montrer les limites des représentations scientifiques (imaginaro-symbolique) de l’être parlant qui n’intègrent pas les dimensions du réel, du symbolique et de l’imaginaire. / Hysterical conversions symptoms, which are defined as functional stoke of sensory and/or motor functions without known physiological causality, ask a serious riddle to scientific and medical theory. This studie is focused on hysterical motor paralysis where neurological investigations are more recents and numerous. Starting from this point, body mind representations are interrogated and compared in the fields of neurosciences and psychoanalysis.In neurosciences, the body mind problem can be reduce to monist physicalist conception, in which psyche is an epiphenomenon stem from information processing in neural networks (this position is called eliminationnism), or can be reduce to differents dualists conceptions which are more or less explicited, depending of autors.The last Lacan’view of borromean knot, which refer to the « parlêtre »’s structure (RSI knot), allow us to show that scientifics représentations (imaginaro-symbolic representations) of human are limited because they don’t take real, symbolic and imaginary registers into consideration.

This thesis investigates the experience of bodily movement as the basis of social interaction. The design concept is based on the exploration of “unfocused interaction” among visitors to a public library (library of Malmo university).This thesis is framed with relevance to the “Soma Design program,” as proposed by Kristina Höök, and it expands Höök’s foundation of attending to bodily senses by paying attention to bodily movement. Moreover, this thesis looks explicitly at the experience of using body movement as the most basic form of human communication in social interaction.Imagining the world in which using body movement is an effective alternative to oral communication motivated me to formulate and select the methodological approach in this thesis project. Research Through Design has been utilizing as the primary process to explore the subject. This concept emerged from the participants’ experiences in exploratory workshops based on somaesthetic techniques focusing on body movement with the help of the body storming method and the experience of using body movement as a tool/medium for creating social interaction. The final concept is presented in this thesis through the Wizard of Oz prototype.The final concept focuses on tow keys areas: 1: individuals’ awareness of their body movement. 2: Embodied interaction and using technology along with natural body movement to create social interaction.

This thesis will focus on creating electromagnetic vibration generator for a project ESPOSA. This generator will be used in aeronautical application. There it will be powering required electronics. Electronics is thought a part, which will be sensing, writing and sending required data.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernanda Belluzzo Guedes Ferreira.pdf: 750098 bytes, checksum: 402c4e5e00a7ada30bcab08bb07e3d7b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-02-10 / Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica de Campinas / This theoretical research aims to understand the process of psychosomatic integration considering the notions of soma, psyche and mind in the framework of psychoanalytic theory proposed by Donald W. Winnicott, adopting the understanding of his theory of personal maturation as interpreted by Elsa Dias and Zeljko Loparic. It aims to show that the author makes conceptual issues in psychoanalysis that modify the general approach of reflection on the psychoaffective organization of the human being, conceived by him as the object of his psychoanalysis. Instead of keeping the opposition body-mind, Winnicott suggests that the psycho-affective organization is given based on other poles, opposing the psyche and the soma and considering the mind a different aspect of the functioning of psyche. The explanation of these terms-concepts, as well as what he characterized as imaginative elaboration of bodily functions, in conjunction with the description that he makes of one of the initial task of maturation, the housing of the psyche in the body, provide useful information to understand the Winnicottian proposition whereby existence is essentially psychosomatic. Moreover, one can cite, as a matter of illustration, some psychosomatic disorders (especially anorexia and bulimia), which clarifies the way Winnicott considers this type of clinical problem. Roughly speaking, it aims to show that the cited author considers disorders involving the body as attempts to achieve a psychosomatic integration that was not satisfactory achieved in the process of emotional maturation. / Esta pesquisa de natureza te?rica pretende compreender o processo de integra??o psicossom?tica considerando as no??es de soma, psique e mente no quadro da teoria psicanal?tica proposta por Donald W. Winnicott, adotando a compreens?o de sua teoria do amadurecimento pessoal tal como interpretada por Elsa Dias e Zeljko Loparic. Procura-se mostrar que esse autor faz introdu??es conceituais na psican?lise que modificam a perspectiva geral de reflex?o sobre a organiza??o psico-afetiva do ser humano, concebida por ele como o objeto de sua psican?lise. Ao inv?s de manter a oposi??o corpo-mente, Winnicott prop?e que a organiza??o psico-afetiva se d? considerando-se outros p?los, colocando de um lado a psique e, de outro, o soma, sendo a mente um aspecto diferenciado do funcionamento da psique. A explicita??o desses termos-conceitos, bem como o que ele caracteriza como elabora??o imaginativa das fun??es corporais, em conjun??o com a descri??o que faz de uma das tarefas iniciais do amadurecimento, o alojamento da psique no corpo, oferece indica??es ?teis para entender a proposi??o winnicottiana de que a exist?ncia ? essencialmente psicossom?tica. Al?m disso, pode-se citar, em car?ter ilustrativo, alguns dist?rbios psicossom?ticos (em especial, a anorexia e a bulimia), os quais elucidam a maneira como Winnicott considera este tipo de problema cl?nico. Grosso modo, procura-se mostrar que o autor citado entende os dist?rbios que envolvem o corpo como tentativas de alcan?ar uma integra??o psicossom?tica que n?o se constituiu satisfatoriamente no processo do amadurecimento afetivo.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o desenvolvimento de um modelo paramétrico capaz de distribuir inputs (entradas) com soma constante, de forma a gerar soluções DEA (do inglês Data Envelopment Analysis) CCR (modelo DEA utilizado para problemas com retorno de escala constante) fortemente eficientes com controle nos pesos. Para isso, foi construída uma fronteira de eficiência paramétrica em formato elipsoidal, generalizando o modelo esférico já existente na literatura, já que um elipsóide com excentricidades nulas é uma esfera. O Modelo de Fronteira Elipsoidal (EFM, do inglês Ellipsoidal Frontier Model), apresenta a propriedade da distribuição coerente e a capacidade de distribuir inputs considerando outros inputs e outputs (saídas) presentes no problema. Outra característica do modelo EFM, inédita até onde se tem conhecimento, é a possibilidade de gerar soluções CCR fortemente eficientes com controle nos pesos para todas as DMUs, uma distribuição de pesos diferente para cada combinação de excentricidades, proporcionando ao decisor a vantagem de poder eleger, dentre todas as soluções DEA fortemente eficientes, a que possui a distribuição de pesos mais adequada.

O presente estudo visa complementar o desenvolvimento de um modelo de alocação de insumos, de soma constante, paramétrico, que se adapta as características da Análise Envoltória de Dados, DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), e que garante uma solução fortemente eficiente ("strongly efficient") para todas as Unidades Tomadoras de Decisão, DMUs (Decision Making Units), em modelos com retorno constante de escala. Trata-se do Modelo EFM, Ellipsoidal Frontier Model, baseado numa fronteira de eficiência paramétrica em formato elipsoidal, capaz de distribuir inputs levando em conta os valores de inputs e outputs do problema. O EFM fornece várias possibilidades de soluções em razão da sua flexibilidade, atribuída aos graus de liberdade (excentricidades) do modelo. Por esta razão, despertou-se o interesse em orientar o decisor na escolha da melhor solução, objetivo do presente trabalho. Assim, são propostas três análises, classificadas como: Análises Local 1 (AL1), Análise Local 2 (AL2) e Análise Global (AG). A primeira (AL1) busca uma solução que obtenha o menor valor do input enquanto a segunda (AL2), a menor variabilidade, ambos associados a uma determinada DMU. E por fim, a AG, com vistas a uma solução com a menor variabilidade total do conjunto dos dados, ou seja, de todas as DMUs da distribuição. Para cada uma das análises são propostos também um Problema de Otimização Não Linear (PNL) para sua resolução. Desse modo, indicam-se a combinação de excentricidade com uma redistribuição dos inputs considerada mais favorável ao decisor.

Digitalization has affected and changed society in many ways, and the use of ICT and smartphones has increased drastically over the last years. The two research questions that were addressed in this Master Thesis Project were: 1. Is there a connection between ICT use and stress? and 2. How can we help people to limit or reduce their smartphone use in bed at night? The project was divided into two parts, one research part (1) and one design development part (2), each with its own research question. Methods applied in the project included Design Research, Human-Centered Design and a Soma Design approach. An extensive background research and user studies, including deep interviews and a survey, both answered the first research question and led to the formulation of the second one. To answer the second research question four different concepts were developed, tested as trigger material and evaluated through a SWOT analysis. The concept that was chosen to be further developed, a massage pillow controlled by moving a smartphone around, was developed into a functional prototype. The purpose of the prototype was to give the user an experience as close to the real one as possible. Based on the prototype, a final concept of the massage pillow, called “Avkopplad”, was created. The answer to the first research question was that yes, there is a connection between ICT use and stress. The second research question was answered by the final concept, although further development and tests of it are necessary to confirm the answer. / Digitaliseringen har påverkat och förändrat samhället på många sätt, och användandet av ICT och smartphones har ökat drastiskt under de senaste åren. De två forskningsfrågor som det här examensarbetet ämnade besvara var 1. Finns det en koppling mellan användande av ICT och stress? och 2. Hur kan vi hjälpa människor att begränsa eller minska sitt användande av smartphones i sängen på kvällen? Projektet bestod av två delar, en forskningsdel (1) och en designutvecklingsdel (2), båda med sin respektive forskningsfråga. Några av metoderna som användes i projektet var Design Research, Human-Centered Design och Soma Design. En omfattande bakgrundsresearch och användarstudier, såsom djupintervjuer och en enkät, både besvarade den första forskningsfrågan och ledde till formuleringen av den andra frågan. Fyra olika koncept togs fram, testades och utvärderades med SWOT-analys för att besvara den andra forskningsfrågan. En funktionell prototyp togs fram för det utvalda konceptet, en massagekudde styrd av hur användaren rör på sin smartphone. Syftet med prototypen var att skapa en upplevelse som så mycket som möjligt liknade den tänkta riktiga upplevelsen. Utifrån prototypen skapades slutkonceptet ”Avkopplad”. Svaret på den första forskningsfrågan var att ja, det finns en koppling mellan användande av ICT och stress. Den andra forskningsfrågan besvarades med slutkonceptet, men ytterligare tester och utveckling krävs för att bekräfta svaret.

Several cases and clinical vignettes with psychosomatic symptoms and references, scattered in his work, were gathered, organized and classified. Data analysis was based on these references in relation to the theory. Beginning with the notions of integration psyche-soma and personalization, Winnicott considers the real psychosomatic disorder related to primary (early) development processes. He assumes the commonly called psychosomatic disorder phenomenon is only the body-psyche connection (linkage). Furthermore, he assumes that in several cases, the physical manifestations of psycho-emotional difficulties are natural phenomenon of human life and part of the maturation process. The classification of cases and clinical vignettes was proposed as follows: False psychosomatic disorder versus True psychosomatic disorder , in order to distinguish the phenomenon that is routinely taken as a psychosomatic disorder, but that only indicates the psyche-soma intimate relationship, from the true psychosomatic disorder, in Winnicott?s concept, and the False psychosomatic disorder subcategories Natural reaction versus Pathological symptom , to separate natural physical manifestations of emotional difficulties from some kind of psychopathology, although not characterized as a real psychosomatic disorder. The genesis, dynamics and potential treatment of a psychosomatic symptom depends on the category it fits. By analyzing and systematizing the Winnicott material (work), we intended to contribute to deepening his theory and to solving the empiric-clinical problem of the psychosomatic phenomena. / Essa pesquisa objetivou explicitar a compreens?o que Winnicott teve dos problemas psicossom?ticos, principalmente em rela??o ? g?nese, din?mica e possibilidade de tratamento, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de sua teoria psicossom?tica. Procurou-se reunir, organizar e classificar diversos casos e vinhetas cl?nicas, dispersos na obra de Winnicott, nos quais h? refer?ncia aos sintomas psicossom?ticos. A an?lise dos dados se deu a partir da rela??o desses com a teoria winnicottiana. A partir das no??es de Integra??o psiquesoma e Personaliza??o, Winnicott considera que o dist?rbio psicossom?tico verdadeiro est? relacionado com falhas em processos primitivos do desenvolvimento, e ressalta que o fen?meno que comumente ? chamado de dist?rbio psicossom?tico refere-se apenas ?s vincula??es entre o corpo e o psiquismo. Al?m disso, Winnicott afirma que, muitas vezes, as manifesta??es f?sicas advindas de dificuldades psicoemocionais s?o fen?menos naturais que fazem parte da vida e do processo de amadurecimento. Dessa forma, foram propostas as seguintes classifica??es para os casos e vinhetas cl?nicas: Falso dist?rbio psicossom?tico versus Verdadeiro dist?rbio psicossom?tico , com o intuito de diferenciar o fen?meno que corriqueiramente ? chamado de dist?rbio psicossom?tico, mas que apenas indica a ?ntima rela??o entre psique e soma, do dist?rbio psicossom?tico verdadeiro, na concep??o winnicottiana, e as subcategorias Rea??o natural versus Sintoma patol?gico , dentro da categoria Falso dist?rbio psicossom?tico , que indica que algumas manifesta??es f?sicas devem ser caracterizadas apenas como modos de se reagir ?s dificuldades inerentes ? vida, enquanto que outras indicam a presen?a de alguma psicopatologia, ainda que n?o se caracterize como um dist?rbio psicossom?tico verdadeiro. A g?nese, a din?mica e a forma de se tratar um problema psicossom?tico depende da categoria na qual ele se enquadre. Ao sistematizar e analisar esse material apresentado por Winnicott procurou-se contribuir para o aprofundamento de sua teoria e para a resolu??o do problema emp?rico-cl?nico dos fen?menos psicossom?ticos.

To this end, I have briefly expounded on the theoretical change made by Winnicott and the substitution of the traditional psychoanalytical guidetheory of sexuality by the maturational theory and the Oedipal example for that of the baby on its mother s lap. The distancing from metapsychology and the consolidation of a descriptive language aims to draw closer to the clinical phenomena. Focusing on the interaction between the so-called living body and the human environment, highlighting the imaginative elaboration of the soma and the primary psychosomatic character of Winnicottian theory. Expounding on that which the author denominates as inhabiting the psyche in the soma and the integration of instinct with the self, which is at the foundation of future instinctive dualistic and/or pluralistic relations. Through these propositions, one can understand the author s sense of the I am phase, as that of a moment in which, with the constitution of a body scheme, the baby acquires a place to exist and experience the world / Este trabalho teve por objetivo explicitar os aspectos somáticos inerentes à teoria winnicottiana do amadurecimento, dos momentos iniciais até a etapa denominada eu sou , para instrumentalizar o psicanalista para a compreensão de fenômenos clínicos que têm incidência no soma e não são verbalizáveis. Para tanto, explicitou-se brevemente a mudança teórica operada por Winnicott e a substituição da tradicional teoria-guia psicanalítica da sexualidade pela teoria do amadurecimento e do exemplar edípico para o do bebê no colo da mãe, o afastamento da metapsicologia e a consolidação de uma linguagem descritiva que busca a reaproximação dos fenômenos clínicos. Com o foco nas interações entre o assim chamado corpo vivo e o ambiente humano, destacando-se o teor gestual das primeiras elaborações, elucidou-se o caráter primariamente psicossomático da teoria winnicottiana e explicitaram-se os fundamentos daquilo que o autor denominou alojamento da psique no soma e da integração da instintualidade ao si-mesmo, que estão na base das futuras relações instintuais duais e triádicas. Com essas proposições, pôde-se compreender o sentido do estágio do eu sou para o autor, como um momento em que, com a constituição de um esquema corporal, o bebê conquista um lugar para ser e ter experiências no mundo
