L'usage d'humains virtuels s'est démocratisé à de nombreuses activités ces dernières années.Au-delà de la chirurgie virtuelle, les corps virtuels sont de plus en plus utilisés pour concevoir des dispositifs médicaux, des véhicules et des outils de notre quotidien plus généralement.Ils se sont avérés être également d'extraordinaires supports à l'apprentissage de l'anatomie.De récents films (Avatar, Le seigneur des anneaux, etc) ont démontré que l'anatomie et la biomécanique peuvent être utilisées pour concevoir des personnages d'une grande qualité.Cependant, reproduire le comportement des structures anatomiques demeure une tâche complexe, et de nombreuses connaissances variées sont nécéssaires à la mise en place de simulation de qualité de nos organes. Ceci fait de la modélisation pour la simulation d'humains une problématique non résolue, une tâche fastidieuse, mais également un sujet de recherche fascinant.À travers ces travaux de thèse, nous abordons cette problématique de la construction de systèmes musculo-squeletiques pour ces domaines variés : animation, biomécanique et aide à l'apprentissage.Notre objectif est de simplifier le processus entier de création en le rendant plus intuitif et plus rapide.Notre approche consiste à pallier à chacune des difficultés, à savoir : la représentation et la manipulation de connaissances anatomiques, la modélisation géométrique et la simulation efficace de systèmes musculosquelettiques grâce à trois principalescontributions introduites durant ces travaux de recherche.Notre première contribution se focalise sur la construction biomécanique d'un modèle hybride du rachis lombaire.Dans ces travaux, nous montrons que les approches hybrides combinant des systèmes de corps rigides et des modèles éléments finis permettent d'obtenir des simulations en temps intéractifs, précises, et respectant les principes de l'anatomie et de la mécanique.Notre seconde contribution s'intéresse aux problématiques liées à la complexité des connaissances anatomiques, physiologiques et fonctionnelles. En se basant sur une ontologie de l'anatomie et une ontologie inédite de la physiologie humaine, nous introduisonsun pipeline pour la construction automatique de modèles simulant les fonctions de nos organes.Celles-ci permettent d'exploiter les connaissances anatomiques complexes via des requêtes simples.Les sorties de ces requêtes sont utilisées pour créer des modèles simulables retranscrivant les aspects fonctionnels tels qu'ils ont été formalisés et décrits par les anatomistes.Enfin, notre troisième contribution : le transfert d'anatomie, permet d'adapter les modèles géométriques et mécaniques à la morphologie de patients spécifiques.Cette nouvelle méthode de recalage permet de reconstruire automatiquement l'anatomie interne d'un personnage défini par sa peau en transférant les organes d'un personnage de référence.Elle permet de pallier à la nécessité de re-construire ces géometries pour chaque nouvelle simulation, et contribue ainsi à accélérer la mise en place de simulations spécifiques à une grande variété d'individus de morphologie différente. / The use of virtual humans has spread in various activities in recent years.Beyond virtual surgery, virtual bodies are increasingly used to design medical devices, vehicles, and daily life hardware more generally.They also turn out to be extraordinary supports to learn anatomy.Recent movies (Avatar, Lord of the Rings, etc) demonstrated that anatomy and biomechanics can be used to design high-quality characters.However, reproducing the behavior of anatomical structures remains a complex task, and a great amount and variety of knowledge is necessary for setting up high quality simulations.This makes the modeling of human body for simulation purposes an open problem, a tedious task, but also a fascinating research subject.Through this PhD, we address the problem of the construction of biomechanical models of the musculoskeletal systems for several domains : animation, biomechanics and teaching.Our goal is to simplify the entire process of model design by making it more intuitive and faster.Our approach is to address each difficulty : the representation and use of anatomical knowledge, the geometrical modeling and the efficient simulation of the musculoskeletal system thanks to three novel contributions introduced during these research works.Our first contribution focuses on the biomechanical construction of a hybrid model of lumbar spine.In this work, we show that hybrid approaches that combine both rigid body systems and finite element models allow interactive simulations, accurate, while respecting the principles of anatomy and mechanics.Our second contribution addresses the problem of the complexity of anatomical, physiological and functional knowledge.Based on a novel ontology of anatomical functions of the human body, we introduce a novel pipeline to automatically build models that simulate physiological functions of our bodies.The ontology allows us to extract detailed knowledge using simple queries.The outputs of these queries are used to set up simulation models of the functional aspects as they were formalized and described by anatomists.Finally our third contribution, the anatomy transfer, allows the mapping of available geometrical and mechanical models to the morphology of any specific individual.This novel registration method enables the automatic construction of the internal anatomy of any character defined by his skin, by transferring organs from a reference character.It allows to overcome the need to re-construct these geometries for each new simulation, and it contributes to accelerate the simulations setup for a range of people with different morph

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esse trabalho tem por objetivo investigar o papel do hábito e da confiança na formação da identidade. Ainda que inspirada em estudos que revelam a centralidade da confiança para a constituição das sociedades e examinam sua condição no contexto sócio-cultural contemporâneo, a discussão focaliza essencialmente o domínio do desenvolvimento infantil. Constatando o destaque conferido à confiança pela escola psicanalítica das relações de objeto, a análise do conceito incide prioritariamente na obra de D. W. Winnicott. Partindo do pressuposto que a confiança ocupa um lugar central na metapsicologia do autor, que contrasta com a limitada conceituação teórica que cerca seus diferentes significados e funções, propõe-se estudá-la em dois tempos: os da gênese e da reprodução da confiança. O estudo do conceito de hábito constitui uma etapa prévia e associada ao exame da confiança. Permitindo relevar os aportes corporais e a importância das interações regulares e previsíveis com o ambiente para a gênese da confiança, o hábito é investigado a partir de autores da filosofia e da sociologia. Ressaltam-se os pressupostos comuns e os elementos de convergência entre diferentes teorias do hábito cujas descrições enfatizam sua base corpórea e contornam discussões tradicionais que reduzem sua definição às idéias de repetição e automatismo. Associando-se ao estabelecimento de um contexto seguro pela antecipação das conseqüências da ação, o hábito contribui para a adaptação flexível ao meio e se apresenta como o fundamento inicial da construção da confiança. Em seguida, a investigação se orienta para os mecanismos de reprodução e do exercício da confiança. Submetida às novas configurações funcionais do ambiente que acompanham o desenvolvimento da criança . a redução da segurança, o aumento da autonomia e a liberdade para correr riscos ., a reprodução da confiança reflete a incidência das ações agressivo-criativas no espaço transicional. Além da referência a psicanalistas que partilham os pressupostos centrais da teoria de Winnicott, a análise da confiança é enriquecida a partir das contribuições da psicologia do desenvolvimento atual. O trabalho explora ainda três conquistas no desenvolvimento descritas por Winnicott como relacionadas à confiança: estar só, não-integrar-se e a capacidade de doar. / This work aims to investigate the functions of habit and trust in the constitution of identity. Even tough it is inspired by studies that stress the importance of trust to the constitution of society and its condition in the contemporary socio-cultural context, the discussion focuses basically on the domain of the child development. Noticing the importance of trust for the psychoanalytical school of object relations, the analysis of this concept is mainly examined in the work of D. W. Winnicott. Based on the fact that trust plays a central role in the metapsychological assumptions of this author, which contrasts with a limited theoretical exploration of its multiple meanings, the study proposes to discriminate two moments in its construction: the genesis and the reproduction of trust. The study of habit constitutes a preliminary step for the examination of trust. The analysis of the concept of habit is accomplished through the work of sociologists and philosophers, and intends to reveal the corporeal features and the importance of the regular and reliable interactions with the environment for the genesis of trust. The common presuppositions and the converging elements of different theories of habit are pointed, showing how they tend to emphasize its embodied bases and avoid its description as repetition and automatism. By the provision of security through the anticipation of the consequences of action, habit contributes to the process of flexible adaptation and plays a central role in the construction of trust. Next, the study focuses on the mechanisms of the reproduction of trust. Under the new functional configurations of the environment that follow the development of the child . the reduction of security, the increase of autonomy and freedom of risk taking, the reproduction of trust reflects the incidence of the aggressive-creative actions in the transitional space. In addition to the analysis of the work of psychoanalysts that share with Winnicott some central elements of his theory, the investigation of trust is improved by the contributions provided by recent findings in the domain of developmental psychology. This work also examines three features of infant development described by Winnicott as related to trust: the capacity to be alone, to non-integration and the propensity for gift giving.

A análise exergética é aplicada ao corpo humano a fim de determinar o comportamento exergético padrão do corpo e do seu sistema respiratório para um indivíduo saudável em diferentes condições ambientais e intensidades de atividade física. Para isso, são calculadas as taxas de exergia destruída e as eficiências exergéticas do pulmão e do corpo como um todo para diferentes altitudes, períodos de aclimatação, temperaturas, umidades relativas e intensidades de atividade física. São utilizados modelos do corpo e do sistema respiratório disponíveis na literatura, assim como um modelo exergético do corpo. Para a análise exergética do sistema respiratório é proposto um modelo exergético baseado no modelo de transferência de calor e massa presente na literatura. A análise exergética é aplicada a dois volumes de controle: o corpo e o sistema respiratório, que compreende as vias aéreas e os pulmões. No primeiro volume de controle ocorre transferência de exergia para o ambiente através de convecção e radiação, assim como fluxos de exergia através da respiração e evaporação, além da geração de exergia pelo metabolismo exergético. No volume de controle relativo ao sistema respiratório, os fluxos de exergia estão associados ao ar inspirado e expirado e ao sangue venoso e arterial. A transferência de exergia ocorre através do calor gerado pelo metabolismo e do trabalho dos músculos respiratórios. Há também uma variação da exergia relativa ao metabolismo exergético do pulmão. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a eficiência exergética do pulmão diminui com a altitude e atividade física, enquanto a do corpo aumenta para ambos os parâmetros. Com relação à aclimatação, o período no qual as eficiências exergéticas são máximas é a partir de vinte dias. No que diz respeito à variação da temperatura e da umidade relativa, observa-se que quanto maior a intensidade da atividade física, menor a temperatura próxima do conforto. Nota-se que as eficiências do corpo e do pulmão têm comportamentos distintos, sendo o corpo mais influenciado pela intensidade da atividade física, enquanto o sistema respiratório é mais suscetível a alterações das condições ambientais. / Exergy analysis is applied to human body in order to determine the exergy behavior pattern of the body and its respiratory system for a healthy subject under different environmental conditions and physical activity intensities. In order to do so, destroyed exergy rate and exergy efficiencies are calculated for different altitudes, acclimatization periods, temperatures, relative humidities and exercise intensities. An integrated model of the body and its respiratory system and an exergy model of the body are utilized. To perform the exergy analysis of respiratory system, an exergy model based on that available in literature is proposed. Exergy analysis is applied to two control volumes: the human body as a whole and the respiratory system, which comprises the lungs and the airways. In the first control volume, the exergy rate transferred to the environment due to convection and radiation is considered, as well as the exergy flow rate associated with respiration and transpiration and the internal exergy generation caused by the exergy metabolism. In the second one, the exergy rates and flow rates are associated with the venous blood and the inspired air in the inlet and the arterial blood and expired air in the outlet. An internal exergy variation due to the exergy metabolism of the lung, an exergy transfer associated with the metabolism of the lung and the work performed by the respiratory muscles were also taken into account. The results indicate that the exergy efficiency of the lung decreases as the altitude and exercise intensity increase, while the exergy efficiency of the body increases for both parameters. Regarding acclimatization period, the greatest exergy efficiencies are obtained after twenty days. Concerning temperature and humidity variations, the higher the activity level, the lower the thermal comfort temperature. It is also possible to observe distinct behaviors between body and lung. The body is more influenced by the physical activity intensity, while the respiratory system is more affected by environmental parameters.

Para tanto, priorizamos o espaço da festa rave como lugar de produção dessas práticas, sítio significante que abriga processos de identificação e individualização do sujeito contemporâneo, conforme a proposta de Pêcheux e Orlandi. Interessa-nos, pois, observar as formas de assujeitamento fabricadas na atualidade, em condições materiais e históricas específicas, tendo em vista a forma como o corpo se textualiza nas redes de sociabilidade da Internet. Partimos da suposição de que esse corpo ideologicamente marcado é também um corpo de desejo: lugar de falta, do possível. É pela/na falta que o sujeito se constitui em sujeito de desejo, é na tentativa de tamponá-la que ele tece para si sentidos inscritos em práticas capazes de metaforizar a falta em ser: nas discursividades analisadas, o movimento de sentidos compõe cartografias marcadas por suturas e cicatrizes. Essas metáforas do corpo, assim formuladas, possibilitam pensar as práticas ideológicas como profundamente paradoxais: é no furo, nos sentidos em fuga, que este trabalho dá a ver outros lugares de identificação, permitindo que a noção de resistência seja significada diferentemente / Abstract: The objective of this thesis is to understand the meaning of the movements on/of the body produced in significant different materiality and that keep the relationship between three different discourse and body practices, the dance, medication and tattoo. In order to do so we gave priority to the rave parties, where these are common practices, as a significant place that houses the identification and individualization processes of the contemporary subject according to the Pêcheux and Orlandi proposal. We are interested in observing the forms of subjection currently performed under specific historical and material conditions, aiming to understand how the body is contextualized in the social networks of the Internet. We started with the premise that this ideologically marked body is also a body of desire, a body that lacks a possible body. And it is for what lacks that the subject constituted him/herself in object of desire, and it is trying to disguise it that he/she builds meanings, written in practices that can metaphor the lack of being. In the analyzed discourse the movement of the meanings composes a cartography that is marked by sutures and scars. Formulated like this, these metaphors of the body make it possible to think the ideological practices as deeply paradoxical. It is in the puncture, in the meanings of escape, that this work makes it possible to see other identification places, allowing the notion of resistance to be differently diagnosed / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutora em Linguística

Lors d'un accident de voiture, l'abdomen peut être soumis à des chargements rapides pouvant entrainer des blessures des organes abdominaux. Bien que les modèles éléments-finis humains soient de plus en plus utilisés pour la prédiction de ces blessures pendant un choc, la validation de leur comportement interne reste difficile en particulier à cause d'un manque de données expérimentales disponibles. En effet, la vitesse de tels chargements ne permet pas d'utiliser des moyens d'imagerie « classiques » tel que l'IRM. Basé sur une récente technique d'imagerie (échographie ultra-rapide), ce travail porte sur l'étude du comportement interne de l'abdomen pendant un chargement rapide. D'une part, des essais de chargement rapides ont été menés sur sujet cadavérique permettant de mettre en évidence des relations entre le chargement externe et la cinématique interne du foie. Ces essais ont été simulés en utilisant un modèle humain existant et des tendances similaires ont pu être observées pour certains des résultats expérimentaux. D'autre part, afin d'aider à l'exploitation des données échographiques dans ce contexte, une méthode numérique a été développée permettant de calculer des cartes de déformations d'organe à partir d'images échographique ultra-rapide. Cette méthode a d'abord été évaluée numériquement et expérimentalement. Puis elle été appliquée à des images échographiques de reins isolés soumis à des chargements rapides (humain et porc) issus d'une précédente étude permettant de mettre en évidence l'influence de paramètres tels que la vitesse sur les déformations 2D des différentes régions de l'organe. Dans l'ensemble, ces travaux ont permis de progresser sur la connaissance de la réponse de l'abdomen au choc, et de mettre en évidence les limites de performances des modèles actuels de l'être humain. La méthodologie développée afin de calculer les cartes de déformation devrait aider à renforcer ces connaissances dans le futur / During an automotive accident, the abdomen can be subjected to rapid loading leading to abdominal organ injuries. Although human body models become increasingly prevalent to predict injuries during an impact, the validation of their internal response is difficult, in particular due to the lack of data available. Such impact last less than ten milliseconds making the use of standard imaging (e.g. MRI) tools difficult. Based on a recent imaging modality (ultrafast ultrasound imaging), this work focuses on the study of the internal response of the abdomen during an impact. The in situ internal response of abdominal organs (liver, colon) was observed during impacts delivered to post mortem human surrogates. For the first time, trends were found between the external response and the internal organ kinematics. These tests were simulated using an existing human body model leading to similar trends for some of the responses. Also, a method was developed allowing estimating 2D strains in organs during an impact based on ultrafast ultrasound images. This method was first evaluated numerically and experimentally. Then, it was used to process images of human and porcine kidneys during an impact from a previous study. Results highlight the influence of parameters such as the impact speed on the 2D strains estimated in different organ regions.Overall, this research allowed improving upon the current knowledge on the internal response of the abdomen subjected to impact. It also showed the performance limitation of current human body models. The method developed to compute strain maps should help to further improve that knowledge in the future

Pour progresser sans cesse, guérir ou accroitre les connaissances, le prélèvement d’origine humaine devient le support de la recherche. Celui-ci réunit alors une diversité de réalités médicales et juridiques.De plus, l’évolution historique et médicale a transcendé la matérialité du corps pour devenir immatérialité de l’être. Le polymorphisme de l’objet le rend complexe et connexe à d’autres disciplines pour en déterminer ses fins. D’un tableau du prélèvement, il faut alors en dessiner les contours, les cadres pour en préciser les usages : sans structure pas d’ossature. Son intérêt dans la recherche comme sa nature rendent essentiel l’encadrement de son utilisation. De cette ambivalence de l’outil scientifique s’associe celle de l’outil juridique qui fonde l’équilibre dans son usage. Celui-ci doit s’accommoder. D’une part des nouvelles résonances juridiques du corps, marquées de la distanciation qui s’opère en fait en en droit entre le prélevé et le prélèvement. D’autre part des progrès de la science, dont les connaissances dépassent notre essence risquant de faire perdre alors à la société tout son sens / To increase permanently the knowledge of the Science, the human sample becomes the basis of the Research. Indeed, it symbolizes the scales of the diversity embodied by the medicine and the law. Moreover, the evolution of the medical history allows the body through its materiality to become an immateriality with this spirit and the numeric. The object, which is the body, is complex and attached to lots of different fields that determine its aims. The painting of the human sample is drawn. To go further this thesis will try to lay the foundations of the rules of the human sample. This Research will try to fix the structure of the sample to find the rules and the procedure of the human sample thanks to the law. Without skeleton, no human sample. This is merely bare bone. The interest of the human sample as its nature itself is essential to characterize its interest and the process of its utility. Thanks to this dual image ¬ legal and medical ¬ of the human sample we can find a balance for its using. On one hand to be well-balance the human sample must adapt itself to the new laws taking into account the difference between the status of the human and the status of the human sample. On the other hand, the human sample is just a small thing compared with the financial or scientist stakes due to the globalization. What is the real place of the human sample then ?
