Our modern spaces are a result of a history of architects losing agency to technology. In the era of climate control spaces and the digital interfaces of social media, a sense of place and association with others is lost to enclosed spaces of satellite conversations detailed with attention to standardization rather than customization. These desires for comfort and control manifest in the lack of friction in our built realm. Spaces mirror the scaleless quality of the digital, impose no physical friction of environment and allow for isolation between bodies in the same room. Boarded in these spaces with the disappearing digital threshold, our friends fall in the same political silos as ourselves, empathy for others falters, context is arbitrary and we never have to be 'alone' when we have our phones. The tech industry tries to offer solutions to alleviate these problems with apps and devices. However, without a violent change in environment - engaging the physicality of the body, its senses and its association to others and site, the problems will persist. 'Bodyscapes' is a series of provocations at varying scales that subvert the language of corporate standardization to allow new opportunities for human interface where the public and private realm meet.

Full textThis thesis in partnership with Institut Curie and Siemens Healthineers explores the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for cancer prognosis, focusing on non-Hodgkin lymphomas, especially follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Assuming that current biomarkers computed in PET images overlook significant information, this work focuses on the search for new biomarkers in whole-body PET imaging. An initial manual approach validated a previously identified feature (tumor fragmentation) and explored the prognostic significance of splenic involvement in DLBCL, finding that the volume of splenic involvement does not further stratify patients with such an involvement. To overcome the empirical limitations of the manual search, a semi-automatic feature identification method was developed. It consisted in the automatic extraction of thousands of candidate biomarkers and there subsequent testing by a selection pipeline design to identify features quantifying new prognostic information. The selected biomarkers were then analysed and re-encoded in simpler and more intuitive ways. Using this approach, 22 new image-based biomarkers were identified, reflecting biological information about the tumours, but also the overall health status of the patient. Among them, 10 features were found prognostic of both FL and DLBCL patient outcome. The thesis also addresses the challenge of using these features in clinical practice, proposing the Individual Coefficient Approximation for Risk Estimation (ICARE) model. This machine learning model, designed to reduce overfitting and improve generalizability, demonstrated effectiveness in the HECKTOR 2022 challenge for predicting outcomes from head and neck cancer patients [18F]-PET/CT scans. This model was also found to overfit less than other machine learning methods on an exhaustive comparison using a benchmark of 71 medical datasets. All these developments were implemented in a software extension of a prototype developed by Siemens Healthineers

A dissertação desenvolve um debate crítico do agenciamento do corpo como produtor e receptor de impulsos eróticos. Procurou-se compreender através dos debates acerca das mudanças da cultura a evidência do corpo nas resistências e como um espaço de produção de novas subjetividades. O contexto dessa pesquisa tem como objetos: a produção de Cassandra Rios em seus romances e a linguagem plástica trabalhada nos objetos, performances e instalações de Márcia X. O modo de escrita de Hélio Oiticica é um dispositivo utilizado para aproximar as duas artistas. Dessa forma, analiso criticamente os diferentes tratamentos estéticos da força explosiva da sexualidade.

It tries to realize through of discussions about the changes of the culture of evidence in resistence body, and , as a new production space subjectivities. The context of this research has as objects: Cassandra Rios production in her novels and plastic languagecrafted the objects, performances and Device for Marcia X. The Helio Oiticica s writing man-ner is a device used to bring the two artists. Thus, I critically analyse the different aesthetic treatments of the explosive power of sexuality.

Full textForms of body adornment and scarification practices have been around since the origin of mankind. Many forms of traditional body adornment have evolved overtime and still exist within our mainstream society today, however examples of recent body adornments, show that although still very much in practice, in many cases the meaning has been lost. The motivational routes of western adornments are today based on what looks good as apposed to a ritual or right of passage that marks one's body for life. Therefore, the aim of this dissertation is to share the value of representation with the viewer - as representation has played, and continues to play, such an important role within the social aspect of mankind. Bycreating a link between traditional practices of African body adornmentl scarification and connecting these with body expression and representation within my own sub-cultural context, I hope to create awareness of body adornment throughout time. Finally the practical component of this research will consist of a portfolio of different photographs and videos documenting the process and completion of adorning different female bodies. These works of art will be traditionally inspired, nonpermanent three-dimensional body art that will also undoubtedly represent selfexpression and comment on 'trendv' sub-cultural society. As Idocument my progress and work it is hoped that I portray in a conceptual framework, a life cycle that comments on the evolution of culture from rural to urban, and from traditional to Western, and how Western lifestyle is diluting our social being with trends rather than using the method of body adornment as a cultural conversation.

Full textMotivated by the rising demand for remote and improved healthcare, while decreasing the cost of using network infrastructures to ensure time and data rate-constrained applications, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) still form a strongly growing research field. Besides, engineers and researchers are investigating new solutions to supplement mobile communications through developing opportunities for cooperative WBANs. In this context, using network users themselves as relays could complement and extend existing infrastructure networks, while improving network capacity and promoting radio spectrum usage. Yet, network operators, that are already planning for the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies integration, should also think about this new possibility of creating a new type of mobile ad hoc network, where network users themselves are used as simplified ad hoc base stations, to fulfill the desire of sharing real-time information between colocated persons carrying body sensors. This emerging type of network is called Body-to-Body Network (BBN). In a BBN, a radio device situated on one person gathers the sensor data from the sensor nodes worn by that person, and transmit them to a transceiver situated on another person in the nearby area, in order to be processed or relayed to other BBN users. BBNs can find applications in a range of areas such as healthcare, team sports, military, entertainment, as well as exciting social networking experiences. Operating in the popular Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band, the communication links in a BBN will be heavily susceptible to interference between the different radio technologies sharing the limited radio spectrum. Thus, inter-body interference become an important concern for protocol design and quality of service for the BBN end user. Yet, higher layer MAC and networking mechanisms need to be in place to overcome this interference problem. To date, very few studies, that perform in-depth analysis of this type of body-centric scenario, exist. The interference problem in such distributed system, should be tackeled with distributed mechanisms, such as Game Theory. The decision makers in the game are either the WBANs/people forming the BBN or the network operators who control the inter-WBAN communicating devices. These devices have to cope with a limited transmission resource (ISM band) that gives rise to a conflict of interests. This thesis aims at exploring the opportunities to enable inter-WBAN communications by ensuring feasible sharing of the radio spectrum through two challenging research issues. First, mutual and cross-technology interference mitigation, and second, the design of a BBN specific routing protocol applied to an epidemic control application within mass gathering areas, such as the airport, as use case in this thesis. In a first phase, a game theoretical approach is proposed to resolve the distributed interference problem in BBNs. The Socially-aware Interference Mitigation (SIM) game performs twofold: at the WBAN stage, it allocates ZigBee channels to body sensors for intra-WBAN data sensing, and at the BBN stage, it allocates WiFi channels to mobile devices for inter-WBAN data transmitting and relaying. Two algorithms, BR-SIM and SORT-SIM, were developed to search for Nash equilibra to the SIM game. The first (BR-SIM) ensures best response solutions while the second (SORT-SIM) attempts to achieve tradeoff between sub-optimal solutions and short convergence time. Then, in order to highlight the social role of BBNs, the second part of this thesis is devoted to propose an epidemic control application tailored to BBNs, in indoor environment. This application implements a geographic routing protocol, that differentiates WBANs traffic and ensures real-time quarantine strategies. (...)
