Introduction: The starting point of our research object is a historical study of the view of the body, corporeality and spirituality through the Yoga tradition a documentary research correlated with changes in body perceptions expressed by the students of a Yoga class in the city of João Pessoa, between 2012 and 2013. Objective: Analyze the changing perceptions and spiritual body through the practice of Yoga - the awakening of spirituality, expressed by students in a class of Yoga, under an extension project. Methods: The methodological approach of this study includes a qualitative approach called descriptive and exploratory research, with the development of research tools adapted to the reality under study towards the social context of the subjects. We can consider that the great relevance of this Master Thesis is in combining a research of bibliographical character with field research, through the method of quasi-experimental research design, under a university extension program. In this sense, we can characterize our work also as an action-research. Analysis and Results: Within the total sample of questionnaires applied, 18 student questionnaires with minimum frequency were selected 70% by the end of the course. The selected students completed the questionnaires at two times during the Yoga course: in the beginning of the classes in October 2012 and at the end, in December 2012, with only one break, of almost three months 26 classes. After conducting a t-test for repeated measurements, no significant difference was verified in the pre and post-test means as a function of the scale factors (p>0.05). This result suggests that there has been no regression or progress in spiritual well-being (Bem Estar Espiritual BEE) in any of the factors of those practicing Hatha-Yoga during the period of the extension program. Conclusions: Thus, we can verify that the statements composing this ethnographic research corroborate for one of the initial objectives of the research, which is precisely to analyze the relationship between the theory and the practice of Yoga with the changes in spiritual and body perception the awakening of spirituality expressed by the students of a Yoga class in a university extension program (PROBEX). However, we believe that the great merit of our research is not exactly in the statistical results obtained from the BEE questionnaire, but in the very use of this questionnaire in a pioneer way with no previous publications, in an academic research about Yoga in Brazil. given these findings, we can associate the sense of body-corporeality of the human being to the physical posture signs of Yoga, through body and cognitive capturing of the practice, ideas and concepts reflected in concrete reality, such as the posture before the world, the people, personal and spiritual experiences, combining with the personal, community, environmental and transcendental factors of the BEE analysis. Keywords: Yoga, Hatha-Yoga, body, spirituality.
Introdução: O ponto de partida do nosso objeto de pesquisa é o estudo histórico da visão de corpo, corporeidade e espiritualidade através da tradição do Yoga pesquisa documental correlacionado com as mudanças de percepções corporais expressas pelos alunos de uma turma de Yoga no município de João Pessoa, entre os anos de 2012 e 2013. Objetivo: Analisar as mudanças de percepções espirituais e corporais através da prática do Yoga o despertar da espiritualidade, expressas pelos alunos de uma turma de Yoga, no âmbito de um projeto de extensão universitária (PROBEX). Métodos: O procedimento metodológico desta pesquisa inclui uma abordagem qualitativa denominada pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, com elaboração de instrumentos de pesquisa adequados à realidade em estudo orientado para o contexto social dos sujeitos. Podemos considerar que a grande relevância desta pesquisa de mestrado está em unir uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico à pesquisa de campo, através do método de delineamento de pesquisa quase-experimental, no âmbito de uma extensão universitária. Nesse sentido, podemos caracterizar nosso trabalho também como uma pesquisa-ação. Análise e Resultado: Dentro da amostra total de questionários aplicados, foram selecionados 18 questionários de alunos com frequência mínima 70% até o fim do curso. Os alunos selecionados responderam ao questionário em dois momentos do curso de Yoga: no início as aulas em Outubro de 2012 e no fim em Dezembro de 2012, com um intervalo apenas quase três meses 26 aulas. Após a realização de um teste t para medidas repetidas não foi verificado nenhuma diferença significativa nas médias do pré e pós-teste em função dos fatores da escala (p>0,05). Esse resultado sugere que não houve regressão, nem evolução no Bem Estar Espiritual (BEE) em nenhum dos fatores dos praticantes de Hatha-Yoga durante o período da extensão. Conclusões: Podemos verificar dessa forma, que os depoimentos componentes da pesquisa etnográfica corroboram para um dos objetivos iniciais da pesquisa, que seria justamente analisar a relação entre a teoria e prática do Yoga com as mudanças de percepções espirituais e corporais o despertar da espiritualidade expressas pelos alunos de uma turma de Yoga, no âmbito de um projeto de extensão universitária (PROBEX). No entanto, consideramos que o grande mérito de nossa pesquisa não está exatamente nos resultados estatísticos obtidos com a aplicação do questionário de BEE, mas sim na própria utilização deste questionário de forma pioneira sem publicações anteriores, em uma pesquisa de caráter acadêmico sobre Yoga no Brasil. Diante dessas conclusões, podemos associar o sentido de corpo-corporeidade do ser humano aos signos das posturas físicas do Yoga, através da captação corporal e cognitiva da prática, ideias e conceitos refletidos na realidade concreta, como a postura diante do mundo, das pessoas, vivências pessoais e espirituais, combinando com os fatores: Pessoal, comunitário, ambiental e transcendental da análise do BEE.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is grounded in my praxis as a Hatha yoga teacher in the community. I noticed that particular students were drawn to specific styles of Hatha yoga, whilst avoiding others. I took the styles of Hatha yoga into consideration, but further exploration also gave rise to whether methods of instruction were a fundamental component of the class demography. This in turn led to an examination of my own teaching pedagogy to explore how my philosophical approach to teaching, was in fact, carried over into to my praxis and if this was a factor in student retention in my classes. Studying my own pedagogy as a Hatha yoga teacher meant reviewing my philosophies, both from a theoretical perspective and later from a practical level, to see if my practice followed my philosophy. This could only be realised through a full investigation of my teaching methods, which was achieved by video taping one of my Hatha yoga classes. I believe that understanding originates from personal knowledge; therefore, the research must begin by examining my own pedagogy. In order to answer these questions I have investigated the historical foundations of yoga and the meaning of yoga in the modern Western world. During this process I became aware of the misrepresentations of Hatha yoga and the misconceptions that have derived from this. In order to answer my research question, whether my teaching pedagogy directly influenced the cohort of students who attended my yoga class, I have had to be cognisant of my own pedagogy. In order to achieve this I employed heuristic enquiry and more specifically the methods outline by Clark Moustakas (1990). Heuristic epistemology is achieved by creating phases in which the researcher uses her own experience to investigate and create meaning in which to discover a phenomenon. This method of enquiry offers the researcher non-linear steps with which to structure the process of a personal reflection. Explication of the pedagogy resulted from numerous viewings of the video recording. I reviewed my teaching methods to ascertain if what I said and thought I was doing was what I actually taught.

Full textAbstract:
The rise in popularity of health practices such as yoga coincides with a period of
growing publicity about the benefits of promoting positive health from an early age. Despite
this, empirical research in the field is limited. Thus, the aim of the current study was to
assess the psychological and physiological impact of a brief yoga program for children
using a randomised placebo-control design. Twenty-two school-girls aged 8-10 were
recruited to take part in a 6-session after-school program. Participants were randomly
allocated to either yoga classes or recreation classes. Heart rate change and respiration rate
were measured pre-post program as physiological indicators of relaxation. For mental
wellbeing, pre- and post-session mood and pre- and post-program self-esteem and physical
self-worth variables were assessed. Later, a replication study was conducted where yoga
was offered to the former recreation group.
Contrary to expectations, no significant changes were found on the physiological
indicators of relaxation. Global self-esteem and physical self-worth variables also remained
constant in both the yoga and recreation groups. As hypothesised, significant reductions in
anxious mood were consistently reported from the second session onwards following yoga
classes. Contrary to expectations however, depressed mood remained unchanged in either
group. Results of the follow-up study confirmed most of the findings of the main study,
except for a small improvement on the physical self-worth variable of self-perceived sports
competency, and no significant post-session mood changes. Nonetheless qualitative data
suggested that this group also experienced anxiety reduction following yoga practice.
The results of the project remain speculative because of the small sample size and
generous criteria used to determine statistical significance. Despite this, it was concluded
that while brief yoga programs might have little impact on children�s overall self-esteem or
physical self- perceptions, especially where children are physically active and already enjoy
moderate to high levels of self-esteem, yoga classes may contribute to reductions in
immediate anxiety levels. While the ability to relax voluntarily was not demonstrated by the
end of program, it was suggested that a longer yoga program which incorporated more overt
teaching of relaxation skills might produce such a result. This and other recommendations
for future research are presented and the implications for the understanding of positive
health are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Yoga adherents claim many benefits of the practice, including promotion of bone health and prevention of osteoporosis. However, few, if any, studies have investigated whether yoga enhances bone mineral density. Furthermore, none have identified force generation in yoga. The purpose of this study is to collect ground reaction force (GRF) data on a variety of common hatha yoga postures that would be practiced in fitness centers or private studios. Twelve female and eight male volunteers performed a sequence of 28 common hatha yoga postures while ground reaction force data were collected with an AMTI strain-gauge force plate. The sequence was repeated six times. Four variables were studied: the maximum vertical GRF, the mean vertical GRF, the maximum resultant GRF, and the mean resultant GRF. Univariate analysis was used to identify mean values and standard deviations for each of the four variables. Multivariate analysis revealed some variation due to gender but none due to age or weight. Means were similar across all poses and subjects, and standard deviations were small. This unique yoga sequence produced low impact forces in both upper and lower extremities. Further research is warranted to determine whether these forces are sufficient to promote osteogenesis or maintain current bone health in yoga practitioners.

Yoga is a millenary practice attached which is linked to behaviors and, especially, the ways of living the Hindu´s culture that was transposed to the West, and it is finding space, especially, in the middle of Brazilian urban. The Hath-Yoga is one of more recent schools of Yoga. We have met one´s objectives in this analysis, to identify which Hath Yoga dominant imaginary of the gestures; through survey of the repertoire of gestures images ( asanas were chosen like a cross sample), and verbal expressed by practiced people during the classes period; and if the mythology is presented a asanas influences the production of Hatha-Yoga`s practiced people. The mythology that we use in this method of analysis was a symbolical hermeneutic based on assumption of Duran´s Imaginary General Theory (2002). It can be understand like a method or a technique turning toward the interpretation of the archetypes and symbols from the imaginary. To seek oneself to outline the constellation images following its movement, that is, its convergence. By way of organization, we selected some asanas in the Hath- Yoga practice that they can be expressive to broach the convergence of the mythological images. We have noticed that the practice of The Hath-Yoga encourages the mythological operational images, transforming them in metaphor of the practice people´s psycho-physique that allowed them finding a line of stabilization. This was possible because the imaginary is the creator of the reality, indeed where form the human representations that precede the materialism of the actions and objects. The modification in the practice people´s mental attitudes has brought both self-knowledge and positive behavior consequences which reflected themselves on their interrelated relationships, giving them a balance.
O Yoga é uma prática milenar ligada a comportamentos e, sobretudo, a modos de viver da cultura Hindu que foi transposta para o Ocidente, e vem encontrando espaço, sobretudo, nos meios urbanos brasileiros. O Hatha-Yoga é uma das mais recentes escolas de Yoga. É exatamente do Hata-Yoga que objetivamos nessa análise, identificar qual o imaginário dos gestos dominantes nesta escola, através do levantamento do repertório de imagens gestuais (asanas escolhidas como amostragem), e verbais expressadas pelos praticantes durante o período das aulas; bem como se a mitologia presente nos asanas influencia a produção imaginária do praticante do Hatha-Yoga. A metodologia que utilizamos para o procedimento de análise foi a hermenêutica simbólica baseada nos pressupostos da Teoria Geral do Imaginário de Durand (2002). Ela pode ser entendida como um método ou técnica voltada para a interpretação dos arquétipos e símbolos oriundos do imaginário. Buscou-se delinear as constelações de imagens acompanhando o seu movimento, ou seja, sua convergência. A título de organização elegemos alguns asanas da prática do Hatha-Yoga que podem ser expressivos para se abordar a convergência das imagens mitológicas. Percebemos que a prática do Hatha-Yoga estimula a operacionalização de imagens mitológicas, transformando-as em metáforas do reestabelecimento psico-físico dos praticantes, o que lhes permitiu que que encontrassem um eixo de estabilização. Isso foi possível porque o imaginário é criador da realidade, pois é onde se formam as representações humanas que precedem a materialização de ações e objetos. As modificações nas atitudes mentais dos praticantes trouxeram tanto autoconhecimento como consequências comportamentais positivas que se refletiram em seu autoconhecimento e nos seus relacionamentos interpessoais, dando-lhes um equilíbrio psico-físico-espiritual.

Este trabalho traz uma análise do significado da experiência corporal de um grupo de praticantes de Hatha Yoga na cidade de Florianópolis. A partir da trajetória pessoal e dos ensinamentos de um instrutor aos seus alunos de um curso de formação, observo a construção de uma visão de mundo individualizante construída a partir do corpo. Dentro desse contexto, associei a visão de mundo yogi e a sua disseminação no ocidente ao que Dumont chamou de individualismo romântico. Denominei como busca romântica moderna o discurso de #resgate da tradição#, de retorno à essência, presente dentro do contexto yogi estudado. Discurso que é construído a partir de uma crítica ao #yoga físico# e alicerçado na visão de mundo do Vedanta. Esse trabalho contribui para as reflexões antropológicas acerca da representação do corpo e da formação do sujeito na contemporaneidade, bem como ajuda a repensarmos os estudos sobre o campo alternativo. This study brings an analyses of the corporal meaning of being an yogi. By the personal itinerary and the teachings of an Yoga teacher and his students, I observed an world view centered in the self and built always in reference to the body. In this context, I associated the yogi world view with that Dumont called romantic individualism. I named as modern romantic search the speech of the reviving #tradition#. Speech which is built against a body centered Yoga. This work may contribute to anthropologic studies about representation of the body and to the new age cam of studies.

Distúrbios osteomusculares e transtornos mentais são relevantes no adoecimento do trabalhador e intervenções ergonômicas com orientações e exercícios físicos, uma estratégia de promoção da saúde. Práticas integrativas e complementares apresentam-se como possibilidade de promoção da integralidade e Yoga como alternativa terapêutica. Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos de uma intervenção com atividade de educação para a saúde e sessões de Hatha-Yoga em profissionais com sintomas osteomusculares de um hospital universitário. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa intervencional em uma unidade ambulatorial do interior de Minas Gerais, com população acessível de 232 profissionais, dos quais 174 (75%) aceitaram participar e foram selecionados 125 com sintomas osteomusculares de intensidade igual ou maior que 1, que não praticavam Yoga. Considerou-se a região com maior intensidade de dor. Os participantes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente no grupo intervenção (GI, n=63) e controle (GC, n=62) e responderam questionários de caracterização sociodemográfica e ocupacional, Nórdico, Escala numérica, Incapacidade causada pela dor e Estresse percebido. Com o GI desenvolveu-se um programa de 12 semanas, com atividade de educação para a saúde e sessões de Hatha-Yoga. O GC não passou por intervenção. Logo após, os participantes dos dois grupos responderam novamente os questionários Nórdico, Escala numérica, Incapacidade causada pela dor e Estresse percebido. Analisaram-se as variáveis de caracterização e região da dor de maior intensidade a partir dos dados antes da intervenção e as variáveis “intensidade da dor”, “incapacidade causada pela dor” e “estresse percebido” comparando, em cada grupo, os dados antes e após a intervenção e, entre os grupos, os dados do GI com os do GC. A maioria eram profissionais próximos da metade da vida economicamente ativa, sexo feminino, formação de nível superior, jornada de trabalho dentro da legislação, com apenas um emprego, empregados com carteira de trabalho, em setores assistenciais. Os grupos apresentavam diferença significante com relação ao sexo, vínculo trabalhista e setor. A parte inferior das costas foi a região de maior ocorrência de dor nos dois grupos. A intensidade da dor, incapacidade e estresse antes da intervenção foram semelhantes em outros estudos, mas o GI apresentava valores maiores do que o GC, com diferença significante na incapacidade. As médias observadas após a intervenção demonstram melhora nos dois grupos ao longo do tempo, mas somente a intensidade da dor apresentou diferença significante. A diferença entre as médias observadas no início e final da intervenção entre os grupos mostra que a intensidade da dor, incapacidade e estresse diminuíram mais no GI do que no GC, evidenciando efeitos positivos da intervenção no GI sobre todas as variáveis, embora com diferença significante somente na incapacidade funcional e total. Entretanto, por apresentar antes da intervenção maior dor, incapacidade e estresse do que o GC, o resultado obtido pelo GI proporcionou diminuição da diferença entre os grupos, mas foi insuficiente para possibilitar que os valores apresentados ao final pelo GI superassem os do GC. Os resultados evidenciam que a intervenção promoveu melhora da intensidade da dor, incapacidade e estresse nos participantes do GI e indicam que programas semelhantes podem ser explorados na promoção da saúde do trabalhador.

Were selected 125 professionals with musculoskeletal symptoms of intensity greater than or equal to 1, who did not practice Yoga. Was considered the region with the greatest intensity of pain. Participants were randomly distributed in the intervention group (IG, n=63) and control (CG, n=62) and answered questionnaires of sociodemographic and occupational health, Nordic, numerical scale, pain disability and perceived stress. With the GI has developed a program of 12 weeks, with the activity of health education and HathaYoga sessions. The CG did not undergo intervention. Soon after, the participants of both groups answered the questionnaires Nordic, numerical scale, pain disability and perceived stress. Were analyzed the variables for characterization and the region of pain of greater intensity from the data before the intervention and the variables "pain intensity", "pain disability" and "perceived stress" comparing, in each group, the data before and after the intervention and between groups, the data of the IG with the CG. Most were professionals close to half of the economically active life, female gender, training at tertiary level, working hours within the law, with just a job, employees with work permit, in assistance departments. The groups had no significant difference in relation to gender, employment relationship and department. The part lower back was the pain region more prevalent in both groups. The intensity of the pain, disability and stress before intervention were similar in other studies, but the IG presented higher values than the CG, with no significant difference in the disability. The average values observed after intervention demonstrate that both groups have improved over time, but only the intensity of the pain show a significant difference. The difference between the average observed at the beginning and end of the intervention between the groups shows that the intensity of the pain, disability and stress decreased more in IG than in CG, evidencing positive effects of intervention on the IG on all variables, although with significant differences only in functional and total disability. However, because it presents before the intervention more pain, disability and stress than the CG, obtained result by IG decrease the difference between the groups, but was not sufficient to allow the values presented at the end by the IG to exceed those of the CG. The results show that the intervention promoted improvement of pain intensity, disability and stress in the participants of the IG and indicate that similar programs can be explored in the promotion of occupational health.

Previous issue date: 2011-03-30O Hatha-Yoga é uma intervenção que proporciona benefícios físicos, mentais, espirituais e sociais aos indivíduos praticantes. Diversos benefícios às portadoras de câncer de mama em diferentes condições têm sido estudados. Este estudo é um ensaio clínico controlado que teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da intervenção Hatha-Yoga nos níveis de ansiedade e estresse de mulheres mastectomizadas. Secundariamente buscou-se avaliar os efeitos dessa intervenção na pressão arterial (PA), na freqüência cardíaca (FC) e na freqüência respiratória (FR) das mulheres do grupo experimental e observar a amplitude de movimento (ADM) dos ombros homolaterais e contralaterais a mastectomia antes e após o período de intervenção nos dois grupos. A amostra foi constituída por 26 mulheres no grupo experimental e 19 mulheres no grupo controle, atendidas no Hospital Santa Rita de Cássia, localizado no município de Vitória, Espírito Santo. Para coleta dos dados utilizou-se entrevista com registro em formulário, Inventário de Traço-Estado de Ansiedade (IDATE) e Lista de Sinais e Sintomas de Stress (LSS/VAS). A PA, FC e FR do grupo experimental foram aferidas antes a após as práticas e a ADM dos ombros foi mensurada nos 2 grupos no momento inicial e ao final do período de intervenção. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o SPSS - versão 17.0. Os resultados encontrados são estatisticamente significantes e demonstram que a intervenção Hatha-Yoga diminuiu o estresse e ansiedade no grupo experimental após a prática de Hatha-Yoga (p<0,05). Neste grupo também houve diminuição significativa das FC e FR após todas as intervenções, enquanto a PA permaneceu sem alterações estatísticas relevantes. Os movimentos de flexão e abdução tiveram maior expressividade de melhora nos 2 grupos. Concluiu-se que a intervenção Hatha-Yoga é uma ferramenta eficaz as mulheres mastectomizadas no enfrentamento da doença, à medida que promove o seu auto-conhecimento, a melhora de sua autoestima e favorece o seu equilíbrio emocional. Além disso, o Hatha-Yoga é um importante instrumento para todos os profissionais da saúde, em especial ao fisioterapeuta, à medida que essa intervenção ameniza os parâmetros vitais e auxilia a recuperação funcional dessas mulheres.

Full textAbstract:
Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint and health problem in Hong Kong, particularly among middle-aged individuals. LBP is the main cause of chronic disability which significantly affects the daily life activities of patients. Pain might result in repeated hospital admissions and subsequently increase the burden on health care providers in Hong Kong. LBP has an enormous effect on quality of life and therefore deserves research attention.
Growing evidence shows that yoga may help reduce the level of chronic LBP in adult patients. However, no systematic review has been conducted to support the translation of this theory into practice. Therefore, this thesis aims to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of yoga in reducing chronic LBP among adult patients to achieve the following objectives: formulate an evidence-based protocol on yoga practice, assess the implementation potential of the formulated protocol, and develop implementation strategies and evaluation plan for the use of this protocol in a local public hospital in Hong Kong.
Five databases were used for the systemic review of relevant studies. These databases were those of Cochrane Library, CINAHL Plus, PudMed, British Nursing Index and Medline (Ovid). A total of eight papers (randomized controlled trials) fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was used to extract the data and evaluate the paper quality. The findings of the selected papers indicated that yoga practice has a significant effect on reducing pain among adult patients with chronic LBP.
The innovation is proposed to be conducted in an adult orthopedic and traumatoloy (O&T) ward. Evidence-based yoga guideline is developed to guide nurses in the effective implementation of the protocol. The SIGN grading system is chosen to grade the recommendations in the guideline. Adult patients with persistent LBP longer than three months are the target population. All study participants practice specific yoga postures under the supervision of yoga instructors and trained nurses in the outpatient clinic. These patients continue home practice for 30 minutes daily or at least twice a week. Based on the findings of the reviewed literatures and the adaptation of these findings into the proposed innovation, the feasibility of implementing evidence-based yoga guideline in the local clinical setting in Hong Kong is demonstrated.
An effective communication plan is developed to gain support from stakeholders and efficiently implement the innovation. A two-month pilot study is designed to test the feasibility of the guideline. Pain level, which is the primary outcome of the study, is measured by using Pain Numerical Pain Scale (NRS). Evaluation will be completed after the pilot test and at the end of the whole programme and refinement of the protocol will be accomplished according if necessary. Protocol effectiveness will be determined by a decrease in back pain level after practicing yoga. Other outcomes include the knowledge and satisfactory level of the staff with regards to the protocol, as well as and the costs and benefits of program implementation.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Yoga is an ancient health practice that provides integrated control and harmonious balance through a practice of postures, muscle contractions, controlled breathing, and meditation. Although yoga has been popularized in New Zealand as a complementary, nontraditional physical fitness regime for pregnant women, little is known empirically about the safety and effectiveness of yoga during pregnancy. The primary aim of this natural history study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of antenatal yoga for first-time mothers in New Zealand. This study investigated how first-time mothers who participated in yoga (N=34) performed across a range of antenatal and postnatal measures, taken during their third trimester of pregnancy (Time 1: T1) and at three months postpartum (Time 2; T2), when compared with first-time mothers who did not participate in yoga (N=37). An additional aim of the study was to attempt to predict birth type from the above measures. Measures assessed demographic factors (T1), antenatal pain medication preferences (T1) and utilisation of pain relief during labour (T2), physical activity levels (T1, T2), complementary therapy utilisation (T1), maternal mood (T1, T2), social networks (T1, T2), maternal self-efficacy (T2), and labour experience and birth outcomes (T2). Those in the yoga group reported greater satisfaction with their diet, used a greater number of complementary therapies, had a preference for significantly less analgesia during labour, and were less likely to be prescribed bedrest or require an episiotomy compared to those in the nonyoga group. The two groups did not differ significantly on other antenatal or postnatal measures. Among a number of significant correlates of birth outcomes for the group as a whole, natural birth was associated with having a midwife or GP as lead maternity carer, shorter labour durations, less utilisation of analgesia, and more tearing. Heavier birth weights were associated with greater use of complimentary therapies, dietary supplements, longer labours and greater maternal depression and overall mood disturbance three months postpartum when compared with women who had children with lower birth weight. Higher 1-minute Apgar scores were associated with higher consumption of dietary supplements during pregnancy, while higher 5- Hatha Yoga and Birth Outcomes in New Zealand ii minute Apgar scores were associated with lower anger / hostility and working antenatally. Maternal factors which significantly predicted vaginal versus cesarean delivery and medical versus natural delivery were, participation in antenatal yoga, levels of complementary therapy utilisation, self-rating of diet, maternal age, and level of analgesia utilised during labour. When these variables were considered individually, level of analgesia utilised during labour, self-reported diet and maternal age significantly predicted natural versus medical delivery. However, of the aforementioned maternal variables, only level of analgesia utilised during labour significantly predict medical (i.e., casearean and operative births) versus natural birth. This study of antenatal yoga among first-time mothers in the Auckland region of New Zealand found the practice of antenatal yoga to be safe and associated with a number of benefits. However, before the practice of antenatal yoga can be recommended, a larger randomized control study is warranted. Future research in this field should also investigate the influence and practice of antenatal yoga among women from socially and ethnically diverse populations, including those residing outside of main urban centres.Whole document restricted until July 2011, but available by request, use the feedback form to request access.

Resumo: Introdução: As algias posturais são sintomas que afetam oito em cada dez gestantes brasileiras, e o uso do Yoga tem sido considerado para seu tratamento e cuidado. Objetivos: avaliar a prevalência das algias na coluna vertebral, identificar possíveis fatores de risco na gestação e avaliar a efetividade do método do Hatha Yoga para reduzir a PLBP e PGP relacionadas à gravidez. Métodos: a dor na coluna vertebral foi identificada através de estudo de corte transversal com 245 gestantes em atenção pré-natal selecionadas em Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município de Paulínia (Estado de São Paulo), através de entrevistas usando-se questionário estruturado pelos autores. Também foram convidadas 60 grávidas com PLBP e/ou PGP, para participar de um ensaio clínico prospectivo randomizado. Participaram gestantes com idade de 14 a 40 anos, idade gestacional de 4 a 40 semanas, no estudo de prevalência, e de 12 a 32 semanas para o ensaio clínico. Foram excuídas as grávidas submetidas a algum tipo de intervenção para o tratamento destas algias. As pacientes foram divididas em dois grupos: o Grupo YOGA (GY), que praticou exercícios orientados pelo método, e o Grupo Orientação Postural (GOP), que realizou orientações posturais padronizadas contidas em folheto preparado por fisioterapeutas. As gestantes foram acompanhadas por dez semanas, no período de junho 2009 a junho 2011. Foram utilizados a Escala Analógica Visual (EAV) para medir a intensidade da dor e os testes de provocação de dores lombar e pélvica posterior para verificação da presença da dor. Para análise estatística foram utilizados analise descritiva por medidas de posição e tendência central, frequência absoluta e relativa, testes de Mann-Whitney, Qui-quadrado de Pearson, Mc Nemar, Wilcoxon pareado, Análise de covariância, Regressão logística binária múltipla e Método Stepwise. Resultados: a prevalência de dor nas costas foi de 78,8%, sendo a região lombopélvica referida por 69%. A intensidade da dor foi relatada por 35,9% para a dor moderada e 32,7% para a dor severa. A dor lombopélvica foi 11,16 mais frequente para o período noturno e 4,03 para o vespertino e a postura corporal em pé foi 2,9, comparativamente às que não sentiam dor . Observou-se que a mediana do escore de dor referido pelas gestantes foi menor no GY (p< 0,0058) quando comparada ao GOP. Houve diminuição da reatividade nos testes de provocação de dor lombar em relação aos testes de dor pélvica posterior. Observou-se a redução gradativa da intensidade da dor durante as dez sessões do Hatha Yoga programadas (p< 0,024). Conclusão: A prevalência de dor na coluna vertebral foi de 78,8% e a região lombopélvica foi a mais referida. O modelo de regressão logística apontou que os períodos noturnos, vespertinos e a posição corporal em pé são fatores preditivos associados para a dor lombopélvica durante a gestação. O método do Yoga foi mais efetivo para a diminuição da intensidade da PLBP e PGP quando comparado ao grupo de mulheres submetidas às orientações posturais
Abstract: Introduction: The back pain are symptoms that affect eight out of ten pregnant Brazilian women, and the use of Yoga for treatment and care have been considered. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of pain in the spine, to identify possible risk factors in Brazilian pregnant women and evaluate the effectiveness of the method Hatha Yoga to reduce pregnancy-related low back pain (PLBP) and pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Methods: pain in the spine was identified through cross-sectional study with 245 pregnant women in prenatal care selected in the Primary Healthcare Services in Paulínia (São Paulo State Brazil). Interviews using a structured questionnaire was used. Also were invited 60 pregnant with PLBP and / or PGP, to participate in a prospective randomized clinical trial, age 14 to 40 years and 4 to 40 gestacional age for prevelence and 12 to 32 gestacional age for the clinical trial. We excluded pregnant women who were being subjected to some type of intervention to treat these pains. The women were divided into two groups: Yoga Group (YG), who practiced exercises guided by the method, and the Postural Orientation Group (POG) that performed, postural standardized guidelines contained in booklet prepared by physical therapists. The women were followed for ten weeks, from June 2009 Summary to June 2011. We used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure the intensity of pain and provocation tests to verify the presence of the low back pain and posterior pelvic pain. Statistical analysis included measures of central tendency and position, absolute and relative frequency. Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, McNemar, Wilcoxon Tests, analysis of covariance, Multiple binary logistic regression and stepwise method .Results: The prevalence of back pain was 78.8% and the lumbopelvic region was reported by 69%. The pain intensity was 35.9% for moderate and 32.7% for severe pain. The lumbopelvic pain was more prevalent 11.16 during night time, 4.03 during evening and standing posture was found 2.9 more frequent compared to those who felt no pain. Was also observed that the median pain score was lower in YG (p <0.0058) when compared to the POG. There was relief of the pain during low back pain provocation tests in relation to posterior pelvic pain tests. There was a gradual reduction of pain intensity during the ten sessions scheduled of Hatha Yoga (p <0.024). Conclusion: The prevalence of pain in the spine was 78.8% and lumbopelvic region was the most reported. The logistic regression model showed that the night-time, evening and standing position are predictive factors associated to lumbopelvic pain during pregnancy. Yoga was the more effective method in reducing the intensity of PLBP and PGP when compared with postural orientations

O envelhecimento populacional constitui um dos maiores fenômenos do presente século e tem contribuído para o surgimento de inúmeros estudos e propostas de trabalho direcionadas ao idoso. Como exemplo, tem-se a prática de yoga que teve sua origem na cultura indiana há cerca de 5000 anos e que atualmente amplia o seu campo de atuação para as mais diversas faixas etárias, especialmente para o idoso. Este trabalho propõe práticas desta modalidade para pessoas com sessenta anos ou mais, com enfoque em uma melhor qualidade de vida dessas pessoas e, integrar, como alternativa, essas práticas nos programas de saúde realizados em universidades, em prefeituras e em centros de convivência. O principal objetivo deste estudo consiste em revelar e interpretar a percepção de idosos sobre os efeitos que obtiveram com a prática de yoga. Após a realização de uma intervenção de Hatha Yoga e Yogaterapia com duração de vinte meses entre 2008 e 2009, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 27 idosos, com idade entre 60 e 84 anos e média de 69,5 anos. O presente estudo trata de uma pesquisa qualitativa que tem como estratégia metodológica a pesquisa-ação. Foram encontrados diversos efeitos da prática de yoga. A nível físico, destacam-se o equilíbrio do organismo e melhora dos sistemas corporais # principalmente o digestivo, respiratório, nervoso e locomotor -, o alívio da dor, o aumento da flexibilidade, o despertar da consciência corporal, a prevenção de insônia, maior disposição, sensação de leveza e bem-estar geral; a nível psicoemocional destacam-se o relaxamento, a melhora da concentração e memória, a sensação de paz, calma e tranquilidade e um controle maior sobre a ansiedade; a nível sócioafetivo, foram encontradas categorias que valorizam o convívio social e a importância do grupo; a nível espiritual, destaca-se a união do espiritual com o físico; a harmonização e equilíbrio do corpo, da mente, das emoções e do espírito. Tais elementos foram encontrados na literatura, dando suporte à experiência vivida. Estudos experimentais indicam que Yogaterapia pode ajudar no controle e na cura de muitas doenças crônicas. Recomenda-se, a partir deste estudo, a incorporação deste método em programas de saúde para idosos, bem como a realização de novas propostas de pesquisa com enfoque na prática de yoga direcionada ao idoso.
Population ageing is regarded as a considerable phenomenon in the current century and it has contributed to countless studies concerning the elderly. Yoga, as an example has its roots in the Indian culture dating back 5.000 years ago and it has been widened its scope to several age groups, specially the elderly. The current study suggests yoga practicals for people who are sixty or older, focusing on a better quality of life and it also focuses on integrate these practicals with health programs in universities, city halls and in living centers. The principal aim of this study was to reveal and interpret the elderly perception about the effects they felt when they practiced yoga. After practicing Hatha Yoga and Yogatherapy for twenty months between 2008 and 2009 there were semi structured interviews with 27 elderly people, their age varying between 60 and 84 years old and an average of 69,5 years old. The current study is a qualitative research based on an action research methodology. Several effects of yoga were found out. At the physical level the elderly reported the balance of the organism and improvement in several systems: mainly digestive, respiratory, nervous and locomotor- pain relief, flexibility improvement, awakening of the body awareness, insomnia prevention, better state of health, lightness feeling and general well being; at the psycho-emotional level the elderly reported relaxing, improvement in the concentration and memory, peace feeling, serenity and tranquility and a better control of anxiety; at the socio-affective level the elderly reported social living and importance of the group; at the spiritual level it was pointed out the union between spiritual and physical, balance and harmony of mind, emotions and spirit. The effects above described were supported by the literature. Experimental studies indicate that Yogatherapy can help in the control and cure of many chronic diseases. It is recommended that this method should be used in health programs for elderly, as well as further research should be carried out focusing on yoga practicals for the elderly.

The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of twelve weeks of instruction in two university-level educational approaches to self management (hatha yoga (EXSCI 119) and the current fitness/wellness core course (PEFWL 101) ) on the problematic behaviors of excessive smoking, dysfunctional eating and excessive alcohol consumption. Some theories of addiction, notably those of Peele and Clemmens, suggest that increased awareness, such as that promoted by hatha yoga, may be valuable to the alteration of the addictive process. The quantitative analysis utilized the stages and processes of change questionnaires developed by many researchers associated with the University of Rhode Island team led by James 0. Prochaska. Analysis of the data did not show any statistical difference between the two approaches. A secondary qualitative analysis suggests that hatha yoga students thought differently about themselves and their experience following their yoga class.Fisher Institute for Wellness

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)
O Sistema Nervoso Autonômico (SNA) é um dos mecanismos envolvidos no controle da pressão arterial (PA). Na Hipertensão Arterial (HA) pode ocorrer aumento da modulação simpática e redução da parassimpática. A ioga apresenta exercícios de respiração (pranayamas), relaxamento e meditação, que aplicados de forma isolada podem melhorar o equilíbrio simpatovagal, mas em relação à associação dessas técnicas somada as posturas psicofísicas (modelo denominado Hatha Yoga), não há evidências conclusivas, sobretudo na HA. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar os efeitos de um programa de Hatha Yoga na modulação autonômica, pressão arterial, aptidão funcional e percepção de saúde e qualidade de vida em mulheres com HA. Vinte e quatro mulheres, atendidas em unidade básica de saúde municipal, entre 50 e 75 anos, com HA, foram selecionadas para participar do estudo (grupo Ioga n=13 e Controle n=11). O grupo Ioga foi submetido a um programa de Hatha Yoga, durante quatro meses (3x90 minutos/semana), enquanto o Controle manteve a rotina habitual pelo mesmo período. Antes e após o programa, as pacientes preencheram questionários com informações pessoais e clínicas, realizaram avaliações para aferição da PA e frequência cardíaca; captação da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) em repouso na posição supina e na ortostática; e, testes de força, flexibilidade, coordenação e agilidade/equilíbrio. Ao final do estudo foram entrevistadas sobre a percepção de saúde e qualidade de vida. Foram utilizados os testes de análise de covariância, análise de variância de dois caminhos, teste t de Student e Wilcoxon. O nível de significância adotado foi de p<0,05. Após o programa de intervenção, no grupo Ioga foi observada melhora da resposta autonômica parassimpática (AFabs) durante a posição ortostática comparada ao supino [114(370) versus 42(77), p<0,05], redução da PA sistólica (134±10 versus 122±7, p=0,001) aumento da flexibilidade (62 ± 10 versus 66,7 ± 9, p=0,019), diminuição no tempo de execução do teste de coordenação (13,2 ± 3,4 versus 11,7± 2,5); menor percepção de dor (p=0,038), maior capacidade de locomoção (p=0,046); e, relatos associados a melhoras da dimensão física e social da qualidade de vida. O programa desenvolvido neste estudo, com os exercícios de Hatha Yoga, complementou o tratamento farmacológico para HA de forma efetiva. Os movimentos de transição entre as posições em pé, sentado e deitado no solo, associados a torções, flexões e extensões, melhoraram a aptidão funcional, e podem ter influenciado a resposta do SNA parassimpático para o coração no teste de estresse postural. Os relatos sobre a percepção da qualidade de vida revelaram elementos que corroboraram os dados quantitativos da pesquisa. A prática de Hatha Yoga mostrou-se exequível ao nível da atenção básica em saúde, representando uma opção aos exercícios tradicionalmente recomendados, como a caminhada e o exercício resistido.
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is one of the mechanisms involved in blood pressure (BP) control. Increased sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic modulation are observed in hypertension disease. Yoga gathers breathing exercises (pranayama), relaxation and meditation when applied separated can improve sympathovagal balance. However, regarding the association of these techniques plus the psycho-physical postures (model called Hatha Yoga), there is no conclusive evidence especially in hypertension disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Hatha Yoga program in autonomic cardiac modulation, blood pressure, functional fitness and health perception and quality of life in hypertensive women. Twenty-four hypertensive women treated in a municipal basic health unit, aged between 50 and 75 years, were selected for the study (n=13, Yoga group and Control, n=11). The Yoga group was submitted to a Hatha Yoga program for four months (3x90 minutes/week), while the control remained the usual routine for the same period. Before and after the program, the patients completed the questionnaire about personal and clinical information, performed evaluations to measure the blood pressure and heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) at rest in the supine and upright, and strength, flexibility, coordination and agility/balance. At the end of the study subjects were interviewed about the perception of health and quality of life. The analysis of covariance, two way analysis of variance, Student t test and Wilcoxon tests were used in results analysis. The significance level was set at p<0.05. After the intervention program, yoga group improved parasympathetic autonomic response (AFabs) during the standing position compared to supine [114(370) versus 42(77), p<0.05], reduced systolic blood pressure (134±10 versus 122±7, p=0.001) increased flexibility (62±10 versus 66.7±9, p=0.019), decreased coordination of test execution time (13.2±3.4 versus 11.7±2.5) and perception of pain (p=0.038), increased locomotion capacity (p=0.046); and reported improvement in physical and social dimension of quality of life. The program developed in this study, with Hatha Yoga exercises, complemented the pharmacological treatment for hypertension. The movement of transition between the positions standing, sitting and lying on the ground, combined with twists, crunches and extensions, improved functional fitness, and may have influenced the response of the parasympathetic ANS to the heart of the postural stress test. The reports on the perception of quality of life revealed elements that corroborated the quantitative survey data. The practice of Hatha Yoga proved to be feasible at the primary health care, representing an option to traditionally recommended exercises such as walking and resistance exercise.

Resumo: O Sistema Nervoso Autonômico (SNA) é um dos mecanismos envolvidos no controle da pressão arterial (PA). Na Hipertensão Arterial (HA) pode ocorrer aumento da modulação simpática e redução da parassimpática. A ioga apresenta exercícios de respiração (pranayamas), relaxamento e meditação, que aplicados de forma isolada podem melhorar o equilíbrio simpatovagal, mas em relação à associação dessas técnicas somada as posturas psicofísicas (modelo denominado Hatha Yoga), não há evidências conclusivas, sobretudo na HA. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar os efeitos de um programa de Hatha Yoga na modulação autonômica, pressão arterial, aptidão funcional e percepção de saúde e qualidade de vida em mulheres com HA. Vinte e quatro mulheres, atendidas em unidade básica de saúde municipal, entre 50 e 75 anos, com HA, foram selecionadas para participar do estudo (grupo Ioga n=13 e Controle n=11). O grupo Ioga foi submetido a um programa de Hatha Yoga, durante quatro meses (3x90 minutos/semana), enquanto o Controle manteve a rotina habitual pelo mesmo período. Antes e após o programa, as pacientes preencheram questionários com informações pessoais e clínicas, realizaram avaliações para aferição da PA e frequência cardíaca; captação da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) em repouso na posição supina e na ortostática; e, testes de força, flexibilidade, coordenação e agilidade/equilíbrio. Ao final do estudo foram entrevistadas sobre a percepção de saúde e qualidade de vida. Foram utilizados os testes de análise de covariância, análise de variância de dois caminhos, teste t de Student e Wilcoxon. O nível de significância adotado foi de p<0,05. Após o programa de intervenção, no grupo Ioga foi observada melhora da resposta autonômica parassimpática (AFabs) durante a posição ortostática ... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is one of the mechanisms involved in blood pressure (BP) control. Increased sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic modulation are observed in hypertension disease. Yoga gathers breathing exercises (pranayama), relaxation and meditation when applied separated can improve sympathovagal balance. However, regarding the association of these techniques plus the psycho-physical postures (model called Hatha Yoga), there is no conclusive evidence especially in hypertension disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Hatha Yoga program in autonomic cardiac modulation, blood pressure, functional fitness and health perception and quality of life in hypertensive women. Twenty-four hypertensive women treated in a municipal basic health unit, aged between 50 and 75 years, were selected for the study (n=13, Yoga group and Control, n=11). The Yoga group was submitted to a Hatha Yoga program for four months (3x90 minutes/week), while the control remained the usual routine for the same period. Before and after the program, the patients completed the questionnaire about personal and clinical information, performed evaluations to measure the blood pressure and heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) at rest in the supine and upright, and strength, flexibility, coordination and agility/balance. At the end of the study subjects were interviewed about the perception of health and quality of life. The analysis of covariance, two way analysis of variance, Student t test and Wilcoxon tests were used in results analysis. The significance level was set at p<0.05. After the intervention program, yoga group improved parasympathetic autonomic response (AFabs) during the standing position compared to supine [114(370) versus 42(77), p<0.05], reduced systolic blood pressure (134±10 versus 122±7, p=0.001) increased ...

Full textAbstract:
In an attempt to address the disregard for holistic practices in much of Western culture and education, I present yoga as an alternative learning strategy to banking instruction often used in current educational practices. Specifically, I examine Hatha yoga in its content and methodology as a platform from which K-5 students can learn to engage in strategies of mindfulness practices to counter underlying causes of cognitive and behavioral problems seen in many public schools. Drawing from research based in the field of somatics and feminist/critical pedagogy, I articulate a yoga curriculum that supports bodily knowing and encourages the cultivation of self-/social awareness and empathy. I organize my findings into two separate curriculums: one for students in the grades K-2 and another for grades 3-5. Each curriculum is further divided into three units to include learning objectives, themed activities, lists of skills and concepts, and specific notes for instructors that take into consideration the motor and cognitive developmental patterns of students at each grade level. By establishing a curriculum consistent with current curricular standards in California, my hope is that policy-makers, administrators, educators, and parents alike will take into consideration the importance of embodied knowledge in the classroom and further advocate for its role in public schools.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains a critical edition, translation and study of the Amanaska, which is a medieval Sanskrit yoga text of one hundred and ninety-eight verses in two chapters (adhyāya). Seventy-five manuscripts have been consulted for this edition and thirty-two were selected for the full collation on the basis of stemmatic analysis on a sample collation of all the manuscripts. The critical apparatus contains references to parallel verses in other works and the notes to the translation provide further information on the content, terminology and obscure passages of the text by citing other Sanskrit works, in particular, earlier Tantras and medieval yoga texts, as well as a Nepalese commentary on the Amanaska. The first part of the Introduction contains a summary of the text and an examination of the colophons of all the available manuscripts in order to establish the proper titles of the text and each of the chapters. Unlike previous editors, I have adopted the title Amanaska because it is found in the great majority of manuscript colophons. The title of previous printed editions, Amanaskayoga, appears to derive from nineteenth-century manuscript catalogues. The authorship of the text has been discussed in light of the claim made in recent Indian scholarship that it was written by Gorakṣanātha, the pupil of Matysendranātha. I conclude that the author is unknown. Discrepancies between the chapters, in particular, various incongruities in content and differences in the limits of dating, strongly suggest that both chapters were originally composed as separate works. Unlike previous editions, this one is based on the north-Indian recension. There is evidence that the north-Indian recension has preserved a more coherent version of the first chapter. The additional verses of the south-Indian recension have been edited and included separately in appendix A. The first part of the Introduction also includes fourteen sections on the content of the Amanaska. The first six of these sections are on absorption (laya), the practice of eliminating reality levels (tattva) and Layayoga, and the following sections cover yogic powers (siddhi), Śāmbhavī Mudrā, the term amanaska and the Amanaska's known sources for verses on the no-mind state. The final section called, 'Amanaska: the Effortless Leap to Liberation' examines the salient teachings of the Amanaska in light of previous ascetic, yogic and tantric traditions, in an attempt to answer questions about whom its intended audience may have been and its place within India's history of yoga. The first part of the Introduction concludes with a discussion of yoga texts which have been either directly or indirectly influenced by the Amanaska. Seeing that many of these texts have not been critically edited or translated, I have discussed their date of composition and their content in addition to the material that derives from the Amanaska. The second part of the Introduction provides essential details on the seventy-four manuscripts consulted for this edition, brief comments on the shortcomings of the previous printed editions and an explanation of the editing methodology. The recensions of the text are discussed in this section as well as my editorial policy. The critical edition and translation of the Amanaska are presented together. Each Sanskrit verse is followed by the translation and its critical apparatus is at the bottom of the page. The endnotes to each verse are located at the end of its respective chapter. Appendices B-E include four stemmatic diagrams along with brief descriptions of each hyparchetype, a list of symbols and abbreviations and an outline of the conventions used in the critical apparatus.

Full textAbstract:
This study provides a full description of the architecture of Hatra. It investigates some problems relevant to the design and function of buildings. The thesis is composed of two volumes, the first contains the text, the second holds the illustrations. The text is divided into five parts. Part one concerns the location of Hatra, early activities in the region, choice of site, factors for the rise and prosperity of the city, explorations and excavations, and the history of Hatra. Part two investigates three topics: the plan of the city, fortifications, and the rectangular enclosure and the porticoes on it. The third part deals with the buildings in the city. It comprises, five topics: the great temples, the small shrines, the Bouleuterion of Hatra, dwellings and tombs. Part four discusses materials and methods of construction. It is divided into two major sections; the first discusses materials used in the construction of the buildings of the city, while the second studies the methods that the Hatrans architects followed in the construction-of the walls, doors, windows, roofs, floors, altars and columns of their buildings. Part five by way of conclusion discusses the general trends and characteristics of the architecture of Hatra, and the most essential factors which had determined them. Thus it is hoped that this thesis achieves a comprehensive account of the architecture of Hatra, a topic that has not been adequately investigated before.

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail est consacré à un ouvrage de médecine indienne classique, l’Ayurveda.Il s’agit de l’Āyurveda-sūtra, écrite en style aphoristique, édité et publié par l’Oriental Research Institute de Mysore en 1922, puis réédité en 1988,grâce aux manuscrits sur feuilles de palme trouvés chez les médecins locaux ayurvédiques. Au-delà de cette édition, le texte n’a fait jusqu’à présent l’objet d’aucune étude, alors que, comme le remarque la somme récente de G.J. Meulenbeld, l’une de ses caractéristiques principales est qu’il propose des liens importants entre l’Ayurveda et la science du Yoga, et qu’il est le seule connu à avoir pour objectif d’intégrer ces deux disciplines. Il montre comment les différents types de nourritures augmentent les qualités sattva, rajas et tamas et comment les pratiques du yoga influencent les conditions du corps. D’ailleurs, l’éditeur Shamasastry le qualifie d’oeuvre unique où « ...il y a autant d’efficacité attribuée à la théorie du ‘jeûne’ et de la ‘respiration profonde’ …». Mais limiter l’Āyurveda-sūtra à une théorie du « jeûne » et de la « respiration profonde » semble très réducteur. Notre étude s’attache à montrer que cette oeuvre va bien au-delà de ces aspects. En effet, dans la partie ayurvédique, elle traite de l’importance et de la signification même de la nourriture et de ses effets sur le corps et sur l’esprit, tels qu’ils sont exposés dans plusieurs Upaniṣad. Dans la partie yoga, elle aborde des concepts dispersés dans les Upaniṣad traitant non seulement du contrôle du souffle mais également d’autres notions ésotériques telles que l’éveil de la kuṇḍalinī l’action des lotus dans le corps, etcThe present study is dedicated to a work in the field of Indian Classical Medicine, Ayurveda. It concerns the Āyurvedasūtra,written in aphoristic style, edited and published by Oriental Research Institute of Mysore in the year 1922,further reedited in 1988, with the help of palm leaf manuscripts found with local Ayurveda physicians. Apart from thisedition, this text has till today not been studied even though, as has been observed in a recent compendium by DoctorJan Meulenbeld, one of its principal characteristics is that it proposes important relation between Ayurveda and theScience of Yoga, and is the only one so far known that aims at integrating these two fields. It shows how the differenttypes of food increase the sattva, rajas and tamas qualities and how the practice of yoga influences the bodyconditions. Moreover, editor R. Shamasastry qualifies it as a unique work where « …so much efficacy is attached to thetheory of fasting and deep-breathing….». But to limit this work to a “theory of fasting” and “deep breathing” isabsolutely insufficient. The present study pays marked attention to show that this work goes much beyond theseaspects. Indeed, in the ayurvedic portion, it deals with the importance and even the significance of food and its effectson body and mind, as exposed in several upaniṣad. In the yoga portion, it treats the concepts scattered in the upaniṣaddealing with not only the breath control but also the esoteric doctrines such as awakening of the kuṇḍalinī, action of thelotus in the body etc

La tesi si pone l'obiettivo di analizzare l'onomastica attestata nel corpus epigrafico aramaico di Hatra alla luce dell'eredità culturale mesopotamica. A questo fine, essa si compone di due parti.
La prima consiste in un aggiornamento dell'importante opera di S. Abbadi (1983) sull'onomastica hatrena, esaminando le nuove iscrizioni che nell'ultimo trentennio si sono aggiunte al corpus e le nuove letture e interpretazioni che di queste sono state offerte. Per ogni nome di persona vengono riportate tutte le attestazioni note, corredate di traduzione e commento ove necessario; la discussione etimologica si rivolge anche alla ricerca di attestazioni nel patrimonio onomastico mesopotamico del I millennio a. C. e nei contesti culturali aramaici contemporanei, in particolar modo nei materiali epigrafici provenienti da Assur e nei corpora del palmireno e dell'antico siriaco.
La seconda parte prende le mosse dall'analisi dei meccanismi di trasmissione del patrimonio culturale mesopotamico dal crollo dell'impero neo-assiro, che non comportò tuttavia la scomparsa della cultura neo-assira, alle fasi neo- e tardo-babilonese, per giungere ai regni indipendenti che fiorirono fino al III secolo d. C. quali Osrhoene, Adiabene e Hatra stessa. Segue l'analisi di due casi ritenuti esemplificativi per illustrare la forte persistenza di elementi culturali e sociali mesopotamici anche in questa fase storica, ossia l'esame dei nomi teofori composti con teonimi di ascendenza mesopotamica e lo studio del funzionario denominato rbyt "maggiordomo" alla luce del suo ruolo nel contesto assiro e babilonese del I millennio. La discussione di entrambi i casi studio si avvale, ove possibile, dei dati prosopografici che si possono ricavare dalle iscrizioni.

South Africa, like international countries, has been experiencing an increase in the levels of poverty over the years. Poverty affects vulnerable groups of society more intensely and these groups include children, the old, disabled people and women, especially those who are single parents. This dissertation studies the role social grants have on the level of poverty in households of Sharpeville. This study focuses on two areas namely the theoretical background of poverty and social grants; and what the impact is of income from social grants. The South African government provides its citizens with eight different social grants to help those in need and/or vulnerable. From these social grants only six are investigated for the purpose of this study. These grants include the old age grant, child dependency grant, foster care grant, child support grant, disability grant and the war veteran grant. Poverty is defined as the inability to attain a minimal material standard of living by the World Bank. The different indicators used in this study to profile poor households in Sharpeville include the Household Subsistence Level (HSL) as the poverty line, the poverty gap ratio, the headcount index and the dependency ratio. This dissertation shows that poverty within the township has increased over the five years. And to do this the results from the data survey conducted in 2009 are compared to the results from Sekatane‘s 2004 data. The poverty gap ratio and the headcount index for the township in 2009 were estimated at 0.86 and 0.654 respectively. In the year 2004 the headcount index was estimated at 0.431 indicating a 22.3 percent increase in the number of people living in poverty. This means that an estimated 5 477 households in Sharpeville, in 2009, were regarded to be poor When government grants are excluded from the household‘s income within the township both the poverty gap ratio and the headcount index decrease to 0.93 and 0.705 respectively. This means that when government grants are excluded from households‘ income within Sharpeville, the depth of poverty within household‘s increases. The income from government grants might be regarded as minimal, however it assists in moving households further from the poverty line. This study recommends that activities within the informal sector should be encouraged as this will increase employment opportunities for those unemployed in the township. As the vast majority of the unemployed people have skills from trading/retail sector; employment creation should be focused in this sector. Lastly, the income threshold used in the means test equation to check affordability of social grant applicant should be decreased as people meeting the current criteria are already living in dire poverty.Thesis (M.Com.

Abstrakt: det finns mycken forskning som visar att humor/skratt i olika former kan bidra till positivare sinnestämning och ökad kreativitet i arbetslivet. En relativt ny metod är skrattyoga - en företeelse som knappt varit föremål för studier i Sverige. Syftet med denna undersökning var att studera om skrattyoga påverkar sinnesstämningen och kreativitet, om kvinnor och män påverkas olika. Ett kvasiexperiment med skrattyoga genomfördes vid ett tillfälle på en vårdcentral som var försöksgrupp och en annan vårdcentral som var kontrollgrupp utan skrattyoga. Totalt trettio respondenter testades med kreativitets- och sinnesstämningsfrågeformulär. Inga signifikanta skillnader påvisades varken mellan skrattyoga och sinnesstämning, kreativitet eller genus. Dock påvisades korrelation mellan sinnesstämning och kreativitet.

It is widely recognized that innovation and creativity is the new competitive battleground for product development firms. Engineers and product designers are now expected to be highly creative, prolific idea generators in addition to being analytically competent. Thus, it is of interest to study methods to improve a designer's idea generation capabilities. It is believed that wit, being spontaneous humor production, is strongly related to creativity as both involve making nonobvious connections between seemingly unrelated things. This thesis looks into the realm of humor and improvisational comedy to suggest means of enhancing creative output in blue-sky product design idea generation. We have found that the ability to quickly generate many ideas is strongly correlated (r2=.82) with being able to come up with a single, promising, creative idea. It was also found that, with appropriate training, individuals may learn to become more prolific idea generators. Furthermore, improvisational comedians were more proficient at new product idea generation than professional product designers, and methods for training comedians can be effectively adapted to product design idea generation. In a study where 84 participants (students, professional designers and improvisational comedians) took a cartoon caption humor test and a nominal product brainstorming test, we found that improvisational comedians on average produced 20% more product ideas and 25% more creative product ideas than professional product designers. Furthermore, the few individuals that were highly prolific in both creative product ideation and humorous cartoon caption production had an improvisational comedy background. Many of the games used in improvisational comedy training are intended to promote associative thinking. We designed an improvisational comedy workshop composed of these association-based games. A group of 11 subjects who participated in this workshop increased their idea output on average by 37% in a subsequent product brainstorming session. Our findings suggest that improvisational comedy games are a useful warm-up for idea generation, that prolific generation is not a domain-specific ability and that it is possible to teach creativity. Ultimately, this work can lead to the development of tools and methods that designers can use to improve their idea generation skills.

Le but de cette these est d'etudier le verbe support hata en coreen contemporain. En coreen, une phrase simple de la structure n v : max-ka ilha-nta (max travaille) peut avoir une phrase synonyme max-ka il-il ha-nta (max fait du travail) avec une regularite sans exception. On peut paraphraser un verbe par un groupe verbal apres insertion de la particule de l'accusatif il derriere le nom. La ressenblance entre les deux verbes, faire et hata est a la fois semantique et syntaxique. Apres l'historique du verbe hata, nous examinons la correspondance entre le nom et le verbe du fait qu'elle est systematique en coreen par la constitution des mots sino-coreens. Nous transferons la notion de verbe support au verbe hata. Dans l'ensemble, elle peut etre appliquee car la distinction entre le verbe support et le verbe ordinaire est due a celle entre le substantif predicatif et le substantif concret, mais le verbe hata presente, par rapport a faire, des differences dans la passivation et la double analyse. Nous concluons que le verbe hata joue un role comparable au verbe support faire. Du fait, des differences structurelles des deux langues, nous n'avons pas pourtant obtenu un parallelisme completThe support verb hata in contemporary korean is studied in this thesis. In korean, the kermel sentence has the structure n v; the sentence max-ka ilha-nta (max works) has a synonymous sentence associated with it : max-ka il-il ha-nta (max does work) with a regularity that suffers no exception. Any verb can be paraphrased by a verb phrase in which the accusative particle il is inserted after the noun. The resemblance between the two verbs faire and hata is both semantic and syntactic. After a historical sketch of the verb hata, we examine the correspondence between the noun and the verb which is systematic in korean because of the way sino-korean words are constructed. We transfer the notion 'support verb' to the verb hata. This notion can be quite generally applied because the distinction between predicative noun and concret noun. However, the verb hata behaves differently from the verb faire ith respect to passivization and double analysis. We conclude that the verb hata plays a role similar to that played by faire. Because of the structural differences between korean and french, we do not obtain a perfect parallelism
