Angelakou, D. „Hellenistic relief-decorated stelai from Macedonia : typology, iconography, styles, interpretation and chronology : banquet and rider reliefs“. Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1306172/.

The thesis is concerned with the Hellenistic banquet and rider reliefs discovered within modern Greece, and examines their typology, iconography, and style, in order to trace the evolution of both themes and of individual motifs, in comparison with similar material from other Greek areas, and Macedonian areas now belonging outside the Greek borders. It aims to investigate the influence of sculpture of other Greek areas (predominantly Attic sculpture) on iconography and style, as well as to establish prototypes and local trends, and thus to place Macedonian funerary relief production within the broader frame of Greek relief production. It also aims to trace any relation between iconography and metaphysical beliefs of the Macedonians by exploring the cultural and religious background of the people, as attested by archaeological and literary evidence. Both themes are seen in the light of public beliefs in the Afterlife and within the context of the heroization and cult of the dead in the Hellenistic period. Both themes, as well as individual motifs, are interpreted on the basis of iconography, epigraphy and literature; it is argued that the funerary banquet represents the deceased as a hero in the Underworld, and that the theme of the rider represents the deceased both as a hero and as an important member of the society. The social status of individuals and groups who erected the reliefs is also investigated on the basis of iconography, epigraphy, and onomastics, with the aim of exploring the plausible factors which might have determined the choice of themes and particular motifs.

Entre 1668 et 1870, la France a produit des centaines de plans-reliefs représentant les villes fortifiées aux frontières du pays, dont le plan-relief de Lille (1740-1743). Ce travail tente, d'une part, de mieux comprendre les intentions poursuivies par la représentation en maquette de cette ville et, d’autre part, d’évaluer sa valeur historique afin de l’exploiter comme archive. La première partie retrace l'histoire de la collection. Elle souligne l’importance que revêt celle-ci, d’un point de vue pratique et symbolique, et la nécessité d’étudier au cas par cas les plans-reliefs, tant leur mise en œuvre et leur niveau d’exactitude varient. La seconde partie consiste donc à analyser en détail le plan-relief de Lille : le relief, la citadelle, la fortification urbaine, le réseau viaire, les canaux et le parcellaire, les édifices civils, militaires et religieux, etc. Cette étude démontre la grande valeur historique du plan-relief de Lille qui témoigne d’un souci du détail et de précision. Néanmoins, l’analyse pointe également les limites de cette représentation, dont il faut tenir compte lors de son exploitation en tant qu’archive. La troisième et dernière partie interroge la place du plan-relief de Lille par rapport aux autres représentations de la ville. L’enjeu est de déterminer les spécificités visuelles des plans-reliefs en général et de préciser les effets immédiats qu’ils provoquent chez le spectateur. Ces effets participent à l’efficacité des maquettes qui s’inscrivent dans un vaste réseau d’images au service du Roi. Cette thèse propose donc une approche globale du plan-relief de Lille, en abordant l’objet en lui-même, son contexte de production et sa réceptionBetween 1668 and 1870, hundreds of plans-reliefs depicting fortified cities localized at the border of the country were built. The plan-relief of Lille (1740-1743) belongs to that collection. This paper attempts, on the one side, to better understand the intention pursued by representing the city in a model, and on the other side, to evaluate its historical validity in order to use it as a piece of archive. The first part covers the history of the collection and underlines its significance both on a practical and symbolical point of view and the needs to study individually these plans-reliefs, as both their implementation and level of accuracy vary. The second part analyses in depth the model of Lille: the relief, the citadel, the urban fortification, the roads, the canals, the plots, the civil, military and religious buildings etc. This study demonstrates the important historical value and the precise depiction of the model of Lille. Nevertheless, the analysis also points out the limits of such a representation. These limits are key when using it as a piece of archive. The third and last part questions the position of the plan-relief in comparison to other representations of the city. The purpose is to determine the visual specificity of the plans-reliefs in general and to clarify the immediate effects it has on the viewer. These effects contribute to the effectiveness of the models that were part of a wide range of images serving the interests of the King. This dissertation offers a global approach of the plan-relief of Lille, coming up to the object in itself, the circumstances of its production and of its reception

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOO presente trabalho introduz o conceito de impostores com relevo: uma maneira eficiente para representar objetos por imagens em sistemas que requerem visualização em tempo real, especialmente jogos 3D e ambientes de realidade virtual. Para tanto, mesclam-se métodos tipicamente pertencentes à área de renderização baseada em imagens com métodos tradicionais de visualização baseada em geometria. A técnica requer do usuário apenas a modelagem geométrica da entidade a ser representada. Posteriormente o sistema sintetiza texturas com relevo, dinamicamente atualizadas quando necessário, e as visualiza utilizando o método de mapeamento de texturas com relevo. Esta abordagem permite inserir modelos complexos, tanto pela sua natureza geométrica, como pelo seu processo de visualização, no pipeline gráfico em tempo real. Além disso, os impostores com relevo procuram aproveitar o tempo ocioso ou recursos paralelos disponíveis no processador, de forma a balancear a carga de processamento de visualização entre CPU/GPU. Estes impostores também tornam possível a representação de qualquer tipo de objeto geométrico através de mapeamento de texturas com relevo.
The present work introduces the concept of relief impostors: an efficient manner of representing objects by images in systems that require real time rendering, such as 3D games and virtual reality environments. For this purpose, typical methods of image-based rendering are mixed with traditional geometry based rendering methods. This technique only requires from the user the geometric modeling of the entity to be represented. After this, the system synthesizes relief textures, dynamically refreshed when necessary, and renders them using the method of relief texture mapping. This approach allows complex models to be inserted into the real time pipeline system. This complexity arise either from the geometric nature of the model or its process of visualization. Also, the relief impostors try to use the idle time or parallel resources available on the processor, in order to balance the work to be done between the CPU and GPU. Furthermore, they make possible the representation of any kind of geometric object by the relief texture mapping technique.

Relief sculpture can be understood as a form in two and a half dimensions, between drawing
or painting and sculpture. Relief is also a renewed area of artistic practice, long in decline and
marginalized in the 20th Century. It engages with the archaic and the physical and as such is
counterpoint to the proliferation of disembodied digital images in contemporary culture.
Relief is an art form well suited to re-examining our past from under the shadow of sculpture
and painting, not least because it is characterised by ambiguity and dualism and the
compatibility of its formal character with themes of conflict and antiquity.
This paper discusses the persistence and value of relief sculpture in the 21st Century and
analyses the historical dualities of relief and how these dualities resonate in contemporary art. I
argue that the scattered presence of relief sculpture in contemporary art no longer designates a
strict formal discipline but rather expresses both disjecta membra (fracturing) and a transitional
zone in visual arts. Contemporary relief is analysed through the work of artists who have
explored dualities within this transitional space: works by Thomas Houseago, Anselm Kiefer,
William Kentridge and Matthew Monahan, and through key works from my own studio
research, including publically sited works from 2015 to 2018.
This paper explores how the transitional zone of contemporary relief echoes the duality
inherent in historical (classical) relief. It examines this zone with the superimposition of
dualities that include the physical and the image, the archaic and the contemporary. Relief is
characterized by dialectics, and the coexistence, reconciliation or synthesis of opposites. It is a
manifestation of Edward Soja’s thirdspace (1996) —a shared response or methexis synthesizing
history with sensorial and conceptual (or physical and imaginary) space.
The research draws from Theodor Adorno’s Aesthetic Theory (1970) and his observations and
historical perspective across art forms, arguing that the nature and fate of genres inform
understandings of relief sculpture in contemporary art. Perspectives of time and space as
described in Jacques Ranciere’s episodic approach to history are complemented by Henri
Lefebvre’s and Edward Soja’s subsequent analysis of space. Other philosophers and historians
referenced include Walter Pater (1839 to 1894) and his biographer Lene Ostermark-Johansen
who form a part of the historical perspective on relief and its position in art. Adolph von Hildebrandt (1847-1921) and Rosalind Krauss assist in comparing relief before and after
cubism, which I argue is critical in understanding relief’s renewal through its revised approach
to materials coupled to spatial enquiry.Thesis (Professional Doctorate)

The following is an examination of the ideas and decisions that went into an art exhibition held in gallery 303 of the Harris Fine Art Center February 1-13, 2013. The exhibition explores the relationships of the artwork, artist, viewer, and space. The catalyst for the above mentioned exploration is a process of making art using linoleum relief printing. The subject of the artwork is an in-depth examination of the material and printing process. It is my contention that such a close look at the art making process reveals the attitudes and decisions that we make with any human endeavor.

Leknes, Siri. „Pain, pleasure and relief“. Thesis, University of Oxford, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.491178.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Pain and pleasure have historically been considered opposites, and appear to have mutually inhibitory effects. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationships between pain, pleasure and relief, both in terms of affect and in terms of the neural processing underpinning these sensations and their interactions. To this end, three psychophysical and four functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies were conducted. The first study investigated the neural underpinnings of itch and motivation for relief. The results demonstrated the involvement of a network of regions previously implicated in sensory and motivational structures, highlighting the perhaps inextricable link between an unpleasant sensation and the desire for relief. The next three studies formed a senes ofpsychophysical investigations aiming to characterize the sensation of relief from brief thermal heat pain, and testing a number ofpredictions from the opponent process theory about relief. The behavioural measures of relief from these experiments showed a strong resemblance to the opponent process ofpain. The next study investigated the effects of anticipatory pleasure on pain processing. Anticipatory pleasure was induced via expectation of immediate cooling relief following noxious thermal stimulation, and results from physiological and fMRI data supported the hypothesis that anticipatory pleasure would reduce pain. The third fMRI experiment reported here investigated the relationship between relief and pleasure processing in the brain. Relief was induced via a safety cue following a 50% predictive pain cue. To allow for the comparison between relief and more classical reward processing, subjects imagined pleasant and neutral scenarios. Results showed some differences but also important similarities in relief and pleasure processing, notably in the medial prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum, where activation correlated with reported pleasantness. The final study reported here used fMRI to investigate the neural substrates ofpleasant pain. A moderate pain stimulus was presented in two different contexts. In one context, the alternative outcome was intensely painful, such that moderate pain caused relief; this stimulus was rated as pleasant during the experiment. In the other context, the moderate pain represented the worst outcome, and was rated as painful. Significant differences between the two (identical) moderate thermal stimuli were found in ratings of sensation and affect, as well as in arousal and activation in medial orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala. These brain regions appear to be involved when a painful sensation is transformed into pleasure. Overall, the results reported in this thesis demonstrated a strong link between relief from pain and pleasure. These findings support the notion that pain and pleasure are opposites and mutually inhibitory in some contexts, but as demonstrated by the co-occurrence of pain and pleasure in the last study reported here, the relationship between pain, pleasure and the resulting hedonic perception is complex. As recognised by Bentham more than two centuries ago, pain and pleasure are the two 'masters of mankind.' The results from this thesis suggest that as we move into a new era of neuroscientific research, the hedonic aspects ofpain and pleasure should be revisited, and their complementary natures explored further.

Ntata, P. R. T. „Participation in disaster relief“. Thesis, University of Warwick, 2002. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3081/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis examines the issue of participation of affected populations in disaster relief, which is receiving increasing attention from researchers, planners and practitioners. This concern comes out of the widely documented experience in development studies that beneficiary participation is essential for programmes to succeed. Similar arguments are being applied to disaster relief. However, despite much rhetoric, examples of genuine grassroots participation both in relief and development continue to be rare. I review the concept of participation in Chapter One and, in Chapter Two, the many possible reasons as to why participation of beneficiaries continues to be a problematic issue. In Chapter Three, I review the concept of humanitarianism and the implications of changes in humanitarian assistance on participation. In Chapters Four, Five and Six, I present three case studies, different by geographical, socio-political context and type of disaster. All the three studies contain material collected through fieldwork involving a qualitative methodology. I have indicated, in each study, the range of data collection tools used. In Chapter Seven, I compare and evaluate the findings of the three case studies. I present overall conclusions of the thesis in Chapter Eight. The main conclusions of the thesis are that beneficiary participation continues to be a problematic issue because groups that have power derived from ownership of economic resources or politics seem unwilling to share that power with the people they seek to assist. Their unwillingness to do so has, in turn, many causes including, lack of trust by aid organisations of local power structures and organisations, poor bureaucratic orientation, a self-given superiority of moral virtue and technical expertise, and sometimes limitations imposed by operational, structural and accounting procedures. I argue that some of these limitations could be addressed through financially supporting and enhancing the capabilities of member-based grassroots structures. I also argue that more effort needs to be devoted to research on how willingness to adhere to the ideals of humanitarian assistance can be generated on the part of aid agencies and donors.

Mostramos que o movimento do retorno de ações horas antes do anúncio do FOMC ocorre principalmente em períodos de alta incerteza de mercado. Especificamente, esse retorno anormal é explicado por uma redução significativa do prêmio de risco (volatilidade implícita e prêmio de variância) antes do anúncio, mas apenas quando o prêmio de risco do mercado é alto (quando está acima da sua mediana). As medidas de incerteza de mercado que são relevantes são persistentes e não são relacionadas à incerteza ou expectativa com relação à política. O mercado não fica estressado dias antes do anúncio, e a resolução de incerteza não é revertida dias após a reunião. Além disso, nós explicamos o porquê do movimento de antecipação não ser observado na última década, uma vez que a ausência de evidência advém da variação no tempo que também estava presente em dados passados. Adicionalmente, o CAPM funciona em datas de FOMC apenas quando o prêmio de risco é alto, ou seja, quando a volatilidade implícita está acima da mediana histórica até o momento. Os resultados são robustos a diferentes amostras e medidas alternativas de prêmio de risco e incerteza.
We show that the pre-FOMC announcement drift in equity returns occurs mostly in periods of high market uncertainty. Specifically, this abnormal return is explained by a significant reduction in the risk premium (implied volatility and variance risk premium) prior to the announcement, but only when the risk premium is high, e.g., when it is above its median. The relevant measures of market uncertainty are persistent and are not related to policy uncertainty or expectations. Markets do not become stressed in the days prior to the announcement, and the resolution of uncertainty is not reversed in the days after the meeting. Moreover, we explain why recent studies suggest that the pre-FOMC drift might have disappeared in the past decade, as this decline in the effect is due to time variation that was also present in older data. Additionally, CAPM only works on FOMC dates when the risk premium is high, e.g., implied volatility above its prior median level. The results are robust to different samples and to alternative risk premium and uncertainty measures.

This thesis investigates a framework for generating reliefs. Relief is a special kind of sculptured artwork consisting of shapes carved on a surface so as to stand out from the surrounding background. Traditional relief creation is done by hand and is therefore a laborious process. In addition, hand-made reliefs are hard to modify. Contrasted with this, digital relief can offer more flexibility as well as a less laborious alternative and can be easily adjusted. This thesis reviews existing work and offers a framework to tackle the problem of generating three types of reliefs: bas reliefs, high reliefs and sunken reliefs. Considerably enhanced by incorporating gradient operations, an efficient bas relief generation method has been proposed, based on 2D images. An improvement of bas relief and high relief generation method based on 3D models has been provided as well, that employs mesh representation to process the model. This thesis is innovative in describing and evaluating sunken relief generation techniques. Two types of sunken reliefs have been generated: one is created with pure engraved lines, and the other is generated with smooth height transition between lines. The latter one is more complex to implement, and includes three elements: a line drawing image provides a input for contour lines; a rendered Lambertian image shares the same light direction of the relief and sets the visual cues and a depth image conveys the height information. These three elements have been combined to generate final sunken reliefs. It is the first time in computer graphics that a method for digital sunken relief generation has been proposed. The main contribution of this thesis is to have proposed a systematic framework to generate all three types of reliefs. Results of this work can potentially provide references for craftsman, and this work could be beneficial for relief creation in the fields of both entertainment and manufacturing.

Abstract The purpose of this essay is to analyse and interpret artist Hans Hedberg’s monumental, ceramic reliefs in Sweden and France. Hedberg is internationally famous for his ceramic fruits and eggs in different glaces and formats. A mostly unknown side of his artistic production is that he produced about 50 ceramic reliefs during the 1950s and up to the 1970s in public buildings. Hedberg was one of very few foreign artists in France, who, during a long period of time, produced monumental, public reliefs for the French state. The essay analyses the European Postwar Period in France and Hedberg’s reliefs from his early figurative works to his abstract reliefs. It also links Hedberg to Nouveau Réalisme and the Renaissance in Italy.

Pourtant, en depit de la qualite de certaines oeuvres, thasos ne deviendra jamais un centre createur autonome : brisee par athenes en 463, apres un premier epanouissement lie a celui de paros, elle connaitra une nouvelle periode creative a la fin du ive siecle av. J. -c. , en liaison avec le nouveau pole politique et culturel qui emerge en macedoine.

L'affichage en relief, avec ou sans lunettes, est de plus en plus populaire. Les écrans auto-stéréoscopiques comportent un nombre d'images compris, à ce jour, entre 2 et 9. La création, la transmission ou encore la diffusion d'un tel nombre d'images correspondent à autant de verrous scientifiques. En effet la transmission des images impose le développement de méthodes de compression qui exploitent la redondance d'information entre les vues. La diffusion nécessite qu'un même contenu puisse être visible sur un maximum d'écrans, ce qui n'est possible en pratique que grâce à des méthodes de synthèse de vues intermédiaires. Enfin le contexte multi-vues ouvre à de nouvelles perspectives en réalité augmentée, comme la projection d'ombres et l'occultation entre contenu réel et virtuel. Tous ces exemples ont pour point commun de pouvoir être obtenus par le calcul des profondeurs de la scène. Les méthodes de stéréovision sont donc incontournables, mais, génériques, elles ne sont adaptées ni au contexte multi-vues, ni aux besoins des applications citées précédemment. Nous proposons dans ce mémoire un pipeline de reconstruction des profondeurs dédié au contexte multi-vues. Au travers d'une nouvelle expression de la mise en correspondance multi-vues, qui consiste à regrouper les pixels représentant un même point de la scène en " match " et ainsi former un partitionnement de l'ensemble des pixels, notre pipeline tire profit de la redondance des informations afin d'obtenir une estimation robuste des profondeurs. Cette expression définit exactement les redondances et occlusions de la scène, ce qui lève une grande partie des ambiguïtés lors de la compression des images et de la synthèse de vues intermédiaires. Nous présentons également une nouvelle contrainte, intégrée à notre pipeline, qui assure la cohérence géométrique des profondeurs reconstruites. Cette contrainte, essentielle pour un mélange entre réel et virtuel cohérent, s'avère également très utile pour les méthodes de synthèse de vues intermédiaires. Notre pipeline est composé de quatre modules : " génération du nuage de points ", " reconstruction de la surface ", " affinement des profondeurs " et " suivi temporel ". Mis à part le premier module cité, les autres sont facultatifs, et leur utilisation dépend des besoins et des applications visées. Ainsi, les résultats de notre pipeline sont les cartes de profondeurs, un nuage de points, ou un maillage représentant la scène.Afin de prouver la faisabilité du pipeline, nous présentons deux implémentations de celui-ci.La première, dite locale, se base sur des méthodes rapides afin de reconstruire la scène en temps réel. La seconde implémentation vise une application en post-production et génère des profondeurs de meilleure qualité, au détriment de temps de calcul plus longs. Nous démontrons également la pertinence de notre pipeline en proposant de nouvelles méthodes de compression d'images multi-vues, de synthèse de vues intermédiaires et de réalité augmentée multi-vuesThe display in 3D, with or without glasses, becomes more and more popular. The auto-stereoscopic displays contain between 2 and 9 images. The creation, transmission or display of such images correspond to scientific obstacles. Indeed the transmission of the images needs compression methods that exploit information redundancy between frames. The display requires that the same content can be viewed on all screens, which is possible only by using methods of intermediate views rendering. Finally the context of multi-view brings new perspectives in augmented reality, like the projection of shadows and occlusion between real and virtual content. All these applications can be obtained by computing the depths of the scene. Stereovision methods allow depth estimation, but are generic and not well suited to the context of multi-view images or the application mentioned above. We propose in this thesis a pipeline dedicated to the depth reconstruction of a scene in a multi-view context.Through a new expression of the multi-view matching, which involves grouping the pixels representing the same point of the scene in "match" and thus form a partitioning of all pixels, our pipeline finds information redundancies in order to obtain a robust estimation of depths. This expression defines exactly occlusions in the scene, which raises much of the ambiguity in image compression and intermediate views rendering. We also present a new constraint, integrated in our pipeline, which ensures the geometric consistency of the reconstructed depths. This constraint is essential for a consistent mix between virtual and real objects, and is also very useful for intermediate views rendering. Our pipeline consists of four modules : " point cloud generation ", "surface reconstruction ", depth refinement " and " time tracking ".Apart from the first module city, others are optional and their use depends on needs and target applications. Thus, the results of our pipeline are depth maps, a point cloud or a mesh representing the scene. As a proof of the pipeline, we present two implementations of it. The first, called local, is based on fast algorithms to reconstruct the scene in real time. The second implementation is dedicated to post-production applications and generates better quality depth at the expense of longer computation time.

The management of the psychological and physiological dimensions of stress can have significant effect on workplace productivity. Yet, stress as a universal human phenomenon is often downplayed or misunderstood by both employees and organizations. This study looked at the effects of stress on the workplace from both an individual and an organizational perspective. An exploratory mixed methods design was used to test the efficacy and potential benefits of providing employees with tools to help them better manage their stress. The three components of Hatha Yoga: breath, movement, and mediation were introduced on site to the employees of a small start-up software company. The treatment was offered to a group of 14 volunteer employees for 15 minutes per day, for 4 weeks during working hours. Three quantitative pre- and post measures, the Perceived Stress Survey (PSS) , the State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) , and the Work Engagement Profile (WEP) tested the impact of the treatment as it affected perceived stress, anxiety, and engagement in the workplace. The researcher also gathered qualitative data post treatment from a post treatment questionnaire, her personal observations, and a meeting with the study company's Chief Operating Officer. Only perceived stress, as measured by the PSS, showed a statistically significant decrease among the participants. However, the participants attributed additional benefits to the treatment and stated an intention to continue the treatment activities both individually and as a group. The findings from the quantitative and qualitative data led the researcher to believe that additional research and use of the treatment methods could be beneficial in other workplace settings.

In a large-scale disaster relief mission, a variety of personnel and organizations with different expertise take part in the relief activities towards a common goal. Interactions between them are important to promote efficiency, and the relief activities, especially search and rescue (SAR) activities, are carried out in a short time period. Some Emergency Offices of City/State/Federal governments and two case studies of actual disaster relief activities after large earthquakes were examined in order to recognize the issues in terms of collaborative environments during a disaster relief missions. These examinations have revealed the fact that the availabilities of site-specific information is a major concern when some decisions concerning relief activities are made, but the communication between on-site personnel and headquarters is not enough mainly due to the lack of cross-organizational coordination. Several commercial solutions have been developed and several studies have been made on collaborative environments at MIT. The current typical solutions consist of e-mail system, group discussion, bulletin board system, and shared data repositories integrated with mapping systems. Some further enhancements of these systems should be considered: multiple client access and detail design of thin portable client devices. To develop collaborative environments for disaster relief missions, the requirements have been gathered and the requirement analysis has been developed. According to functional role, relief mission participants are classified into four groups: field agent, team leader, coordinator, decision maker and specialist/advisor. The category "field agent" plays an integral role during a mission so that its activities are focused on. The hierarchy of collaborative session has been developed on account of that of participant roles. The multiple device access is an important functionality of collaborative environments. Some of the leading portable devices are featured and three types of wireless communication are described. To collect and report site-specific information in a disaster area is critical to make decisions. The needs and requirements of robot-human interaction that can be applied to a relief mission are discussed in comparison with SAR dogs.

Every time more we hear in our everyday statements like "I'm stressed!", "Don´t worry
me more than I am." But in what sense can we use technology to combat these congestions that we deal with daily? Well, one way would be to use technology to create objects, systems or applications that can spoil us and preferably be imperceptible by the user and, for this we have the ubiquitous computing and nurturant technologies.
The ubiquitous computing is increasingly discussed as well as ways to make your
computer more subtle in the view of the user, which is subject of research and
development. The use of technology as a source of relaxation and spoil us is a strand
that is being explored in the context of nurturant technologies.
Accordingly, this thesis is focused on the development of an object and several
applications with which we can interact. The object and applications have the purpose to
spoil us and help us relax after a long day at work or in some situation more stressful.
The object developed employs technologies like the use of accelerometers and the
applications developed employs communications between computers and Web cameras.
This thesis begins with a brief introduction to the areas of research and others that we
can include in this thesis, such as ubiquitous computing and the nurturant technologies, providing yet general information on stress and ways to mitigate it. Later is described some of the work already done and that influenced this thesis as well as the prototypes developed and the experiences performed, ending with a general conclusion and future work.Orientador: Pedro Campos

Under financial constraints, firms are kept from following first-best policies. It is in the best interests of the regulators to diminish this inefficiencies as firms play such a important roles in the economy as generating employment and contributing to the GDP. One of the channels through which regulation may interfere with firms funding availability is by protecting investors. This research assesses the relationship between investor protection and firms’ financial constraints. I split some of the most common measures of investor protection among three classes: creditor protection, minority protection and external investor protection. This division is relevant to screen the importance of a given class to alleviate the constraints: constrained firms are likely to share some characteristics that make them more akin to rely on given funding source, for example: firms facing asymmetric information problems are more suitable to debt financing. The cash-flow sensitivity of cash is used as a proxy for financial constraints. I construct cash saving models based on a sample of 27471 firms in 393 industries (3 digit-SIC), from 2001 to 2015. The models are fitted in two groups: for firms more likely to be constrained, and for firms less likely. To classify the firms between this two groups I rely on the Size and Age index, and on switching regressions with unknown separation points. The results points that creditor protection is related to lower cash-flow sensitivities of cash for the constrained firms, while external investor protection are related to more prevalent constraints. Minority protection present a negative interaction with the cash-sensitivity of cash in the panel model (indicating constraints relief) but positive coefficient relative to the switching regression. For the unconstrained batch, however, the results are mixed for the creditor protection measure, while external investor protection always diminish the firms’ propensity to save cash.
Sob restrição financeira, as firmas se distanciam de suas políticas ótimas. É do interesse dos reguladores diminuir as essas ineficiências pois as empresas desempenham funções importantes como contribuir para o PIB e gerar empregos. Uma das formas com que a regulação pode contribuir com a disponibilidade de financiamento para as companhias é estipulando leis que protegem seus investidores. Essa pesquisa investiga a relação entre proteção ao investidor e a restrição financeiro no meio corporativo. Nela, eu divido as leis que protegem os investidores em três tipos: proteção ao credor, ao acionista e ao investidor externo. A importância dessa divisão se dá por permitir identificar o efeito relativo de uma certa categoria de proteção em aliviar restrições financeiras: firmas restritas possuem características que podem torná-las mais suscetíveis a se financiar por certa forma de financiamento, por exemplo: firmas enfrentando assimetria de informação têm no endividamento sua forma de financiamento mais adequada. Para identificar restrição financeira eu me apoio na sensibilidade do caixa ao fluxo de caixa. Eu construo modelos de formação de caixa baseados em uma amostra de 27471 firmas em 393 industrias (SIC de 3 dígitos). A amostra compreende os anos entre 2000 e 2016. Os modelos são ajustados para 2 grupos: o das firmas mais prováveis de enfrentarem restrição financeira e o das menos prováveis. Para realizar essa classificação eu utilizo o índice de Tamanho e Idade, e em uma switching regression com pontos de separação desconhecidos. Os resultados apontam que proteção ao credor está relacionada a menores sensibilidades do caixa ao fluxo de caixa para ao grupo restrito, enquanto proteção ao investidor externo está relacionada ao restrições mais prevalentes. Proteção ao acionista apresenta uma interação negativa com a sensibilidade da caixa ao fluxo de caixa no modelo em painel, mas o sinal oposto no modelo de switching regression. No conjunto de firmas irrestritas por outro lado, os resultados são inconclusivos para a variável de proteção ao credor, enquanto proteção ao investidor externo sempre aparece relacionado a uma diminuição da restrição financeira.

Situated in the field of creative writing, this project identifies and conceptualises biographical ekphrasis: an emergent subgenre of ekphrasis in which poets respond to both a work of art and to the biography of the artist who created it. This thesis comprises an exegesis, which interrogates the complex relationships between artwork, artist, poet, and audience, and a collection of poems, Reliefs, which won the Thomas Shapcott Prize. Through practice-led research, this project elucidates both biographical ekphrasis’s unique amalgam of fact and fiction and its particular temporal complexities, and reveals a mode capable of a capacious and protean reckoning with history.

Étendre le contenu visuel à une troisième dimension, ou capturer une scène dynamique en relief et en temps réel, a été un rêve pendant des décennies. C'est aujourd'hui un rêve qui devient réalité tant l'engouement suscité par ces nouvelles technologies est profond. Une part de plus en plus importante des films est effectivement produite en relief et de très nombreux cinémas sont maintenant équipés pour diffuser ce type d'images. Chez les particuliers également la technologie relief fait son apparition. Toutes ces installations sont pour le moment basées sur des technologies stéréoscopiques qui imposent aux utilisateurs le port de lunettes spéciales. Les technologies autostéréoscopiques, à l'inverse, permettentun affichage d'images reliefs sans lunettes. Ce travail de thèse s'inscrit dans un projet ANR " CamRelief " visant le développement des matériels et logiciels nécessaires à la production de contenus relief pour écrans autostéréoscopiques. Au sein de ce projet mon travail a consisté à caractériser des géométries de capture et de restitution d'images en relief, dans le but d'évaluer la qualité du relief restitué par les écrans autostéréoscopiques, tout en améliorant si possible leur confort visuel. Ce travail concerne donc la production de contenus relief de qualité en fonction d'un mode de restitution choisi et du rendu relief souhaité. Afin de valider ces contenus, des méthodes de caractérisation de la restitution du relief sont proposées.En commençant par décrire la perception du relief ainsi que les différents systèmes de diffusion existants et les applications visées, puis en introduisant les différentes géométries du relief illusoire, nous avons établi un modèle analytique de déformation du relief. A partir de celui-ci nous avons défini une méthodologie de spécification de la configuration de prise de vue nécessaire pour obtenir, sur un système d'affichage relief donné, la déformation du relief voulue. Nous avons présenté ensuite les différentes réalisations techniques réalisées grâce à cette méthodologie. Enfin nous avons proposé une méthode pour la validation pratique de nos résultats, mais aussi pour quantifier plusieurs données : la qualité d'un écran autostéréoscopique et d'un dispositif de prise de vue, la limite accommodation/convergence et la fatigue visuelle. Pour réaliser cela nous avons proposé un instrument nous permettant de caractériser la restitution du relief illusoire en multiscopie plane. Nous avons précisé les modalités de mise en place de cet instrument et enfin nous avons proposé différents protocoles expérimentaux pour l'accompagnerExtending visual content with a third dimension, or capturing a dynamic scene in 3D and generating an optical duplicate of it in real-time, has been a dream over decades. All components (hardware and software) related to this viewing experience are collectively referred as three-dimensional television (3DTV). In this scheme, a fundamental element of stereoscopic and/or autostereoscopic image production is the geometrical analysis of shooting and viewing conditions in order to obtain a qualitative 3D perception experience.This work takes place in ANR project "CamRelief" which aimed at developing hardware and software needed to produce content for autostereoscopic displays. My work consists to characterize the viewing and shooting geometries to evaluate a qualitative 3D experience.Firstly, we describe 3D perception and the different existing rendering devices. Then, from the usual multiscopic rendering geometry and the classical, off-axis, coplanar, multipoint 3D shooting geometry, we firstly compare the perceived depth with the shot scene depth, for a couple of shooting and rendering devices. This yields a depth distortion model whose parameters are expressed from the geometrical characteristics of shooting and rendering devices. Then, we explain how to invert these expressions in order to design the appropriate shooting layout from a chosen rendering device and a desired effect of depth. Next, we introduce different technical achievements realized from this methodology. Finally we propose a framework to pratical validate our results and to quantify different data: quality of autostereoscopic display and shooting device, accommodation/convergence limit and visual tiredness. In this goal, we suggest a new instrument of characterization of the 3D perception on a given autostereoscopic display. We speficy the setting up modalities of this instrument and we introduce different experimental protocols to use it

Due to the unpredictable nature of sudden onset disasters the humans are often caught with surprise so are the humanitarian relief organizations. In order to quickly react to the emergencies, supply chain networks are built instantly by the actors of the relief management. Parallel to this process, need assessment is started with the help of local experts which also confirm that the response cannot be lingered on due a delay in need assessment. After wards the supply chain structure needs to be changed once the right information is gathered by the passage of time. This is not all, actually the situation of the disaster prone area and people also changes by that time which always brings a challenging scenario for humanitarian relief actors to develop the supply chain design with flexibility.Primary focus of this paper is to define right supply chain designs for disaster response and post disaster phases in humanitarian relief.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThe problem with current international disaster relief is ineffective communication, coordination, cooperation, and collaboration (4C). Ineffective international 4C allows chaos and anarchy to significantly hinder disaster-relief efforts. After action reports (AARs) and disaster relief (DR) materials were examined to identify system-level issues during DR missions. These issues were examined to determine if DR exhibits characteristics of a wicked problem. The results of systems-thinking analysis show that anarchy, social complexity, and stress within the DR system have a negative impact on all components of the system. To improve the effectiveness of DR missions and help mission teams to present a unified front for DR, anarchy, social complexity, and stress must be reduced. This work proposes a communication strategy for DR missions that harnesses capabilities of information communication and technology (ICT) solutions, introduces a cloud-based hierarchical trust model, and outlines a common integration interface. The strategy encourages open and transparent 4C between DR mission teams and the international DR community. Properly implemented, this communication strategy could reduce system-level anarchy and social complexity, resulting in reduced post-disaster damage, injuries, and loss of life.

In six experiments, I investigated children’s thinking about their own and others’ regret and relief. The results were described in relation to the developmental counterfactual thinking literature which offers an account of gradual improvements in order to achieve adult-like counterfactual thinking. Children aged 5 to 6 years old children experienced regret. Only children aged 7 to 8 years old experienced relief (Experiment 1). Children up to 6 to 7 years old failed to understand that another would experience regret or relief (Experiment 2). These findings are evidence for a lag between regret and relief. Investigation into the lag identified that relief trials may have been more difficult to process than regret trials but the lag was reduced. Children aged 4 to 5 years old experienced a fledgling regret (Experiment 3). Children’s limited experience of regret was unlikely to result from their difficulty to access explicit information. Children demonstrated no implicit responses to what could have been (Experiment 4). From 5 to 6 years old, children could infer the happiness of another after seeing what could have been but did not provide counterfactual justifications until 8 to 9 years old (Experiment 5). Children were less likely to experience regret or relief when there was less responsibility for the outcome. Thus, it was unlikely that children were using non-counterfactual thinking strategies throughout this thesis (Experiment 6). Children first think about regret at 4 to 5 years old. At 7 to 8 years old, they are able to think about relief. By 8 to 9 years old, when children can justify others’ regret and relief, children are most adult-like in their development of thinking about regret and relief

During 2002, some 11,000 people throughout the world were killed in natural catastrophes and man-made disasters were responsible for 10,000 fatalities worldwide; flood claimed the most victims with more than a third of the fatalities caused by natural disasters. Indeed, people will always face natural disasters, but it seems that disasters nowadays are frequently generated by or aggravated by human activities. The poverty as well as the increase of the density of the population is making the world more and more vulnerable since more people are living in riskier situations. The number of people at risk is growing every year and most of this population is located in developing countries where resources are limited. The purpose of this study is to identify the different types of risk and risk management in order to increase the participation of the private sector in disaster relief operations. This could generate the incentive for a collaborative work in an effective and efficient manner despite the number of agencies involved in disaster relief and fund raising in the corporate world. After providing an overview of the risk management concepts, this thesis will focus on assessing risks and ways to mitigate them before presenting risk transfer. Finally, there will be an emphasis on the importance and the role of Information Technology in Disaster Risk Management activities.

La mise en relief en espagnol est développée en trois points successifs : - une analyse morphosyntaxique des tournures attributives de mise en relief, considérées comme l'"équivalent" des clivées françaises. Les différentes composantes qui peuvent y être actualisées sont examinées ainsi que les effets de sens produits selon les éléments mis en relief. - une analyse informative de ces mêmes tournures ainsi qu'une explication de l'effet de relief. Une réflexion sur l'''importance" que l'on doit accorder à une information ( par la syntaxe, par sa place dans l'énoncé ou d'après le contexte ) débouche sur une tentative de redéfinition de la notion de thème pour voir si elle peut aider à déterminer l'information importante de l'énoncé. Une explication du relief linguistique est ensuite entreprise à partir de la notion de modalité ainsi que des concepts guillaumiens d'expression et d'expressivité qui sont appliqués aux tournures attributives. - un recensement de quelques procédés syntaxiques d'insistance par le biais de la traduction et une explication énonciative du relief. Sont abordées les notions de "degrés d'intégration" d'un élément à l'énoncé ainsi que les "situations dialogales" qui semblent favoriser l'apparition d'une mise en relief. La synthèse de ce travail présente, en comparant les traductions d'Alice's adventures in wonderland en français et en espagnol, ce qu'il est réellement possible de mettre en relief et quels procédés semblent être préférés par l'une ou l'autre langue.

In pursuit of an architecture of the everyday, this investigation applies fascinations with and imaginations of the ordinary to architecture's possibilities for relief in today's increasingly privatized notion of the public. Our neoliberal reality dictates an incessant change in urban landscapes - from enclaves of difference to havens of increasing homogeneity ruled by the holders of capital. Transitioning urban ethnographies often occur in pursuit of accessible economies and shelter as resources become inaccessible. Though the cycle is inevitable, there remain opportunities for relief in the form of de-commercialized public space and public architectures for commerce. East Boston has historically served as an enclave to consistent influxes of foreign-born populations in Boston. The coexistence between various populations is both intermingled and separate - coded in our urban environments which host multiple worlds.
Responses to the Everyday, posits the roles of body-scaled to small-building-scaled architectures in mobilizing existing and incoming populations with shared resources for continued participation in East Boston's largely service-industry economy. Rather than mobilizing profit-agenda-pushing development, smaller interventions on existing sites of public space offer potential sites of relief to a cycle of forced displacement due to increasing privatization. Responses to the Everyday seeks to maintain difference in the neighborhoods surrounding Maverick Square by reinstating public ownership - to provide alternatives to the glossy, singularly-owned, and homogeneous. This range of potential built structures operates within and between three existing sites to support the continuation of difference through architectures of access.
Access is architecturally provided through structures of shared capital, knowledge, and space, which inform programs such as collective commercial kitchens, market stalls, kiosks for shared information, and evolving memorials. Its architecture arises from accessible materials and labor to imagine achievable structures - potentially altered and replicated by various. Each acts as a container for resources in response to today's landscape of everyday activities and economic exchange in East Boston.

Abstract
Excessive pain after surgery causes many kinds of endocrine, metabolic and inflammatory responses, which may increase postoperative morbidity and mortality - especially among elderly patients. This study evaluated the effect of peripheral and central pain relief techniques after joint surgery.
Intravenously administered doses of 100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg of ketoprofen decreased the requirement for opioid (fentanyl) in a dose-dependent manner by 38%, 45% and 53%, respectively, compared with a placebo, without any noticeable ceiling-effect, when administered after hip and knee arthroplasty. Patients receiving a 300 mg dose of ketoprofen had significantly lower postoperative pain scores than those receiving a placebo. There were no significant differences in incidences of nausea and vomiting, or in the amount of bleeding between the ketoprofen and placebo groups.
Intravenous doses of 200 mg of ketoprofen, 150 mg of diclofenac, and 120 mg of ketorolac produced similar postoperative pain scores and requirement for opioid (fentanyl) with no intergroup differences in the incidence of nausea and vomiting and in the amount of bleeding, when administered after hip arthroplasty.
The addition of ropivacaine, 1 mg·ml-1, did not decrease the requirement for epidural fentanyl administered via a patient-controlled analgesia device for postoperative pain relief after hip arthroplasty. Both drug infusions provided effective pain relief. The most common adverse effect was pruritus, which occurred in a similar number of patients in both groups.
An interscalene brachial plexus block with ropivacaine decreased the dose of PCA-delivered oxycodone by 78% after arthroscopic shoulder surgery while subacromial bursa blockade with ropivacaine decreased it by only 11 % compared to a placebo during the 20 hour study period. Postoperative pain scores were significantly lowest with a interscalene brachial plexus block.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRODiversas atividades humanas e constantes mudanças climáticas têm contribuído para o acontecimento de desastres em várias regiões do globo terrestre, intensificando a vulnerabilidade natural e socioeconômica nessas regiões. Estudiosos, agências governamentais e instituições não governamentais têm concentrado esforços para criar novos procedimentos de atenuação dos desastres e a favor de assistência humanitária. A necessidade de prestar assistência humanitária eficazmente às vítimas de desastre no menor tempo possível fez surgir uma nova área do conhecimento, a logística humanitária. Aliando conhecimentos de logística e de gestão da cadeia de suprimentos empresarial, a logística humanitária vem aplicar teoria e práticas correspondentes em prol das pessoas afetadas pelos eventos de desastre. Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo contribuir para a melhora do procedimento de arrecadação de doações, evitando o desvio e agilizando o processo de compra e entrega de materiais à população necessitada. Para isso, foi criado um sistema computacional que, através de uma página na internet, recebe doações e as redireciona para uma conta bancária a ser determinada, tendo como interface uma loja virtual que mostrará primeiramente a necessidade de suprimentos na região do desastre (alimentos, medicamentos, vestuário, entre outros) e depois o valor monetário total dos itens e quantidades escolhidas pelo doador, que poderá ser pago pelos principais meios disponíveis (cartão de credito, débito, transferência, boleto). Em particular, o sistema proposto leva em conta o deslocamento dos materiais, os depósitos de materiais existentes e o preço dos materiais nos fornecedores para obter o menor custo.
Various human activities and constant changing in the climate have contributed to the occurrence of disasters in various regions of the globe, enhancing the natural and socio-economic vulnerability in these regions. Scholars, government agencies and non-governmental institutions have concentrated efforts to create new procedures to mitigate disasters and promote humanitarian assistance. The need to effectively provide humanitarian relief to victims of disaster in the shortest possible time introduced a new area of knowledge, the humanitarian logistics. Combining knowledge of logistics and supply chain management business, humanitarian logistics is to apply those theory and corresponding practices in support of people affected by disaster events. This dissertation aims to contribute to the improvement of the procedure of collecting donations, avoiding the detour and streamlining the purchasing process and delivery of materials to the needy population. For this, we created a computer system that, through a website, receives donations and redirects them to a bank account to be determined, with the interface of a virtual store that will show first the supply needs in the disaster area (food, medicine, clothing, etc.) and then the total monetary value of the items and quantities chosen by the donor, which may be paid by the principal means available (credit card, debit card, transfer, billet). In particular, the proposed system takes into account the displacement of material, the existing deposits of materials and the price of the materials from suppliers to obtain the lowest total cost, that is, the total amount donated corresponding to the lowest prices of materials and the smallest displacements to the location of disaster, considering the capacity the deposits.

Tangible representations of virtual content allow for sensory-rich interactions with computers through real-world objects. However, these objects are commonly static handles, with limited capabilities to present changing information through their form. This thesis presents a human-computer interface able to generate physical 3D shapes and sense user input through them. It consists of an array of sensors and actuators to deform a malleable surface. We define this type of system as a relief interface. This thesis documents the hardware and software design and proposes a set of pressure-based gestures, which are evaluated through applications for geospatial exploration, surface modeling and multilayer viewing.

La reconnaissance du relief d'une surface eclairee a partir d'une seule image est aisement effectuee par l'il humain. Neanmoins, la realisation de cette reconnaissance de maniere automatique pose de serieux problemes et, a ce jour, aucun algorithme satisfaisant n'a ete propose. La formulation mathematique est une equation aux derivees partielles du premier ordre, du deuxieme degre, c'est-a-dire non lineaire. Il existe une methode generale de resolution de telles equations, dite methode des bandes caracteristiques. L'application de cette methode a la reconnaissance du relief a partir de l'eclairement a ete realisee tres tot par b. K. Horn. Elle presente le defaut d'etre sensible au bruit, et pour cette raison l'utilisation de methodes iteratives a ensuite ete proposee. Cette these suit la demarche historique du domaine: dans la premiere partie, on etudie de pres les methodes de resolution directes du probleme, en cherchant s'il n'existe pas des points de l'image ou le relief peut etre calcule sans aucune hypothese sur la surface. La resolution par un developpement en serie entiere y est egalement evoquee. Dans la deuxieme partie, on s'interesse uniquement aux methodes de resolution par iterations. Apres une analyse detaillee des methodes existantes, on s'interesse specifiquement aux problemes lies a la convergence de ces methodes. Il est montre que deux des algorithmes les plus cites dans la litterature sont divergents a coup sur. Pour d'autres algorithmes, il peut exister des preuves de convergence, mais de nouvelles difficultes sont mises en evidence, ce qui donne a penser que les methodes de resolution directes, plus anciennes, sont peut-etre encore les plus prometteuses
