Função sexual de mulheres com infertilidade / Sexual function of women with infertility

Salomão, Priscilla Bianchini 01 August 2016 (has links)
Introdução: A infertilidade é uma condição que afeta, universalmente, um percentual expressivo (8-15%) dos casais da população, sendo esta, uma condição associada frequentemente, a um incremento nas taxas de disfunção sexual e desajuste conjugal. Objetivos: Avaliar a função sexual de mulheres com infertilidade conjugal e avaliar o risco para ansiedade e depressão em mulheres com infertilidade conjugal. Métodos: Estudo controlado com 280 mulheres em idade reprodutiva, sendo 140 atendidas no Setor de Reprodução Humana do Departamento de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo (FMRP-USP) e 140 controles recrutadas na população geral de Ribeirão Preto - SP. A função sexual foi avaliada pelo Índice de Função Sexual Feminina (IFSF), e o risco para ansiedade e depressão foi aferido pela Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão (HAD-A, HAD-D). Resultados: Participaram do estudo 280 mulheres, sendo 140 do Grupo Infértil (GI) e 140 do Grupo Controle (GC). Do GI, 104(74,29%) apresentavam infertilidade primária, e 36(25,71%) infertilidade secundária, por fator feminino em 64(45,71%), fator masculino em 38(27,73%) e, em ambos 35(25,54%) dos casos. Do GI, 64(45,71%) foram submetidas a FIV/ICSI. Houve diferença significativa entre os grupos em relação a mediana de idade (GI 36 [32-38]; GC 34 [31-37]), (p=0,02). Não houve diferença entre os grupos em relação ao número de mulheres com menos de 40 anos e com idade maior ou igual a 40 anos (p=0,40). E também não houve diferença significativa entre os dois grupos em relação a idade dos parceiros, número de relações sexuais/semana, IMC, peso e estado civil. Houve diferença entre os grupos em relação ao tempo de relacionamento (GI, 11,80 ± 4,84 anos (1,50-24) vs. GC, 10,40 ± 5,73 (0,50-26), p=0,03). Estratificando por tempo de relacionamento no GI 10(7,14%) tinham < 5 anos de relacionamento contra 27(19,29%) no GC e, no GI 130(92,86%) tinham > 5 anos de relacionamento contra 113(80,71%) do GC, (p<0,01). A análise do IFSF evidenciou risco para disfunção sexual em 47(33,57%) do GI, e em 49(35%) do GC (p=0,90) e não houve diferença significativa entre os domínios do IFSF, a não ser pela diferença encontrada no domínio excitação, que foi maior no GC (p=0,04). Não houve diferença entre os grupos em relação ao risco para ansiedade e depressão. Os fatores de risco para disfunção sexual (DS), ansiedade e depressão, nos dois grupos, ajustado para as variáveis: faixa etária, IMC, estado civil, tempo de relacionamento, escolaridade, gestação, anticoncepção, partos, psicoterapia, cigarro, álcool, faixa etária do parceiro, risco para DS, ansiedade e risco para depressão evidenciou que mulheres que apresentam risco para ansiedade tem maior risco para DS. Mulheres com risco para depressão evidenciaram risco aumentado para DS. A DS foi fator de risco para ansiedade e depressão. As mulheres casadas apresentaram menos risco para depressão do que mulheres amasiadas. Conclusão: As mulheres não apresentaram risco para disfunção sexual em relação aos controles. A ansiedade e depressão constituem risco para disfunção sexual nessa amostra. / Introduction: Infertility is a condition that affects, universally, a significant percentage (8- 15%) of couples. Infertility is often linked to an increase in sexual dysfunction rates and marital conflict. Objectives: To assess sexual function of infertile women and to assess the risk for anxiety and depression in infertile women. Methods: This is a controlled study with 280 women in reproductive age, being 140 women attended in Human Reproduction Sector of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP), and 140 controls recruited from the general population in Ribeirão Preto - SP. Sexual function was assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the risk for anxiety and depression was measured by the Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-A, HAD-D). Results: Twenty eight women participated in this study, being 140 women in infertile group (IG) and 140 controls (CG). In the IG, 104 (74.29%) had primary infertility, and 36 (25.71%) secondary infertility. In the entire sample female factor was evident in 64 (45.71%) and male factor in 38 (27.73%), and both 35 (25.54%) cases. In the IG, 64 (45.71%) underwent FIV / ICSI. There was a significant difference between groups in relation to median age (IG 36 [32-38]; CG 34 [31-37]) (p = 0.02). There was no significant difference between groups in the number of women = 40 years (p = 0.40). There was no significant difference between groups regarding the age of partners, number of sexual intercourse/week, BMI, weight and marital status. There was difference between groups regarding the time of relationship (IG, 11.80 ± 4.84 years (1.50 to 24) vs. CG, 10.40 ± 5.73 (0.50 to 26), p = 0.03). Stratifying for relationship time in IG 10 (7.14%) were < 5 years of relationship vs. 27 (19.29%) in the CG, and IG 130 (92.86%) had > 5 year relationship vs. 113 (80.71%) CG (p <0.01). The risk for sexual dysfunction was observed in 47 (33.57%) of the IG, and in 49 (35%) of the control group (p = 0.90). There was no significant difference between the majority scores of FSFI, but there was significant difference between groups regarding arousal domain, which was higher in CG (p = 0.04). There was no difference between groups regarding the risk for anxiety and depression. Risk factors for sexual dysfunction (SD), anxiety and depression in both groups, adjusted for the variables: age, BMI, marital status, length of relationship, education, pregnancy, contraception, birth, psychotherapy, cigarettes, alcohol, partner\'s age, risk for SD, anxiety and risk for depression showed that women who are at risk for anxiety have a higher risk for SD. Women at risk for depression, showed increased risk for SD. The SD was a risk factor for anxiety and depression. Married women showed less risk for depression than women who only live together with a partner. Conclusion: Infertile women showed no risk for sexual dysfunction compared to controls. Anxiety and depression are risk for sexual dysfunction in this sample.

Moral Judgment: Surveillance Cues Debunked

Northover, Stefanie January 2014 (has links)
Several studies have seemingly demonstrated that artificial surveillance cues, such as images of watching eyes, increase prosocial behaviour. One of these studies investigated the effect of observation cues on moral judgment (Bourrat et al., 2011). Participants rated the moral acceptability of two misdeeds: falsifying information on a resume and keeping the cash found in a lost wallet. The moral acceptability ratings were lower for participants who were presented with an image of watching eyes than they were for participants exposed to a control image of flowers. The authors suggested that false cues of being watched triggered evolved cognitive mechanisms for recognizing when one is being observed. These mechanisms may have driven the cued participants to behave in a way that would have protected their reputations if they really had been watched; that is, by expressing disapproval of immoral behaviour. Inspired by Bourrat et al., I conducted an experiment investigating the effect of surveillance cues on self-rated positive traits, religiosity, and moral judgment. I found no evidence for an effect on any of these variables, including moral judgment. I conducted 3 more experiments, each increasingly similar in design to Bourrat et al., to determine the reason for the discrepancy in our results. None of my experiments replicated the surveillance cue effect. I suggest the most likely explanation is that Bourrat et al. obtained a false positive. My experimental results call into question the effect of surveillance cues on moral judgment; thus, it is appropriate to be skeptical of surveillance cues generally. I conducted a meta-analysis of studies investigating the effect of surveillance cues on generosity. The resulting funnel plot is consistent with publication bias in favour of significant results; it may also indicate that the surveillance cue effect on generosity, though perhaps a real phenomenon, is smaller than the literature implies. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

It’s not just about birds: the other negative space in Alfred Hitchcock – cinematic dream vernacular and the phenomenology of fear

Evans, Tara Jane 22 August 2013 (has links)
Foundational to almost any Hitchcock film is the idea of the voyeur: the (un)natural inclination to want to look upon the private, obscene, and potentially grizzly instances in other peoples’ lives. Such inclinations are typically satiated in secret and subsequently denied as something we desire. The voyeuristic act may be connected to narcissism in that we are seduced by our own fears and inner hells projected onto the watched ‘other.’ This kind of projection not only perpetuates our sense of denial of what are our own inclinations, but it also precipitates the potential for de-humanization and feelings of emptiness in that we detach from ourselves. The phenomenological paradox to such detachment is that the more we insist we are safe and self-enclosed here while the ‘other’ remains at bay there, the more we are convinced that we know ourselves and are connected to ourselves, when arguably, we couldn’t be more detached from ourselves and our humanity. And by not really knowing ourselves as well as we thought – as we might infer from a kind of ‘doppelganger’ or ‘doubles’ reading of Strangers on a Train, for example – is how fear is born, both in a Hitchcock film and in life generally. How then, might we come to truly know or face our fear if estrangement would seem an inherent quality to our very experience of it?

Filmové adaptace literárních děl ve výuce literatury na SŠ / Film adaptations of literary works in teaching literature in high school

Heflerová, Petra January 2020 (has links)
The diploma thesis Film adaptations of literary works in the teaching of literature in high school deals with the comparison of film and literature as types of art, the analysis of film and the process of adaptation of a literary work into a film form. It's aim is to propose teaching activities related to the short story and the film Closely Watched Trains for the use of film adaptations in teaching literature. The design of activities proceeds from the setting of the goal. In teaching it is possible to focus on the use of the motivational potential of film for students, on the comparison of the original literary work and its film adaptation, on the adaptation process itself, the use of film to convey theoretical knowledge or cultural and historical context of formation of the work.

A construção da identidade profissional do orientador de liberdade assistida comunitária: o processo de equilibração do saber, do fazer e do poder

Veltri, Marcos 15 May 2006 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-29T14:16:48Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertaco Marcos Veltri.pdf: 1615142 bytes, checksum: a0767bb3a230e019f40423c0a553be04 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-05-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This discourse accosts the construction of the watched liberty educator s professional identity, from the contraposition between assigned and social constructed identity, taking as a starting point the operationalization of the socioeducation admeasurement of watched liberty in its modality of watched liberty - LAC. Starting form the presupposition that the professional identity is a social constructed phenomenon. The theoretic, which base us was the social theory developed by Marx, specially as regards to the category totality and world vision . In this sense, we start from the beginning, according to the professional identity composes a unity of different people, with the personal identity and the individual political identity and, even more, expressing itself into social relationship, revealing that professional choices are not neutral, otherwise, they mean politics engagement with determined social class. The study of the educator s professional identity sent us, therefore to a complex field of meanings and determinations such as economic conditions, sociotechinic division is knowledge and experiences, history and world vision, that is the educator specific case, gets together to the adolescence conception, the family, the infringer adolescent and the social education. This research had as base, the result of the raise of secondary and primary data. We have used, supported in this principle, more than an instrument to the data collecting, semistructured along with the coordinator of the project of watch liberty, focal group with educators and documental analysis. We could conclude that the process of social education is initially imputed to the educator by legislation, but it will be the particular mode that each educator group will resignify this attribution, which one, through its turn, will depend on world vision and the assumed positions by everyone and by each one that it will give the constructed/reconsctructed meaning of the professional identity of this function / Esta dissertação aborda a construção da identidade profissional do orientador de liberdade assistida comunitária, a partir da contraposição entre identidade atribuída e identidade socialmente construída, tomando como ponto de partida a operacionalização da medida sócio-educativa de liberdade assistida, em sua modalidade de liberdade assistida comunitária LAC. Partimos do pressuposto de que a identidade profissional é um fenômeno socialmente construído. A vertente teórica na qual nos fundamentamos é a teoria social desenvolvida por Marx, em especial no que se refere à categoria totalidade e visão de mundo . Nesse sentido, partimos do princípio, segundo o qual, a identidade profissional compõe uma unidade de diferentes, com a identidade pessoal e a identidade política do indivíduo e, mais ainda, expressando-se nas relações sociais, revelando que as escolhas profissionais não são neutras, pelo contrário, trazem consigo um compromisso político com determinada classe social. O estudo da identidade profissional do orientador nos remeteu, portanto, a um campo complexo de significados e de determinações, tais como: condições econômicas, divisão sócio-técnica de saberes e de práticas, historicidade e visão de mundo, que no caso específico do orientador junta-se à concepção de adolescência, de família, de ato infracional e de sócio-educação. Esta pesquisa teve por base o resultado do levantamento de dados primários e secundários. Utilizamos, para tanto, mais de um instrumento para a coleta de dados, entrevistas semi-estruturadas junto à coordenadora do projeto de liberdade assistida comunitária, grupo focal com os orientadores e análise documental. Pudemos concluir que o processo de sócio-educação é inicialmente atribuído ao orientador pela legislação, porém será o modo particular com que cada grupo de orientadores ressignificará essa atribuição, a qual, por sua vez, vai depender das visões de mundo e das posições assumidas por todos e por cada um, o que dará o sentido construído/reconstruído da identidade profissional dessa função
