Full textAbstract:
Studien undersöker om elever som tränar mycket i skolan och på sin fritid presterar bättre betygsmässigt på gymnasiet än de elever som inte är lika aktiva. Kan dessa olikheter mellan de elever som tränar mycket och en kontrollgrupp skilja sig åt i avseende på LOT, PANAS, SE och HAD. Hypotesen som testas är: Träning korrelerar positivt med bra betyg. För att utreda om hypotesen stämmer har elever på gymnasiet fått fylla i en enkät. Enkäten innehåller dels flera psykologiska test, PANAS, LOT, SE och HAD, men även ett formulär där deras betyg ska skrivas in. Resultatet för studien visar att hypotesen stämmer. Det är signifikant att elever som tränar mycket får högre betyg än de som inte tränar. Förutom betygen visar resultatet även att de idrottande eleverna mår bättre, de hade mindre grad av depression, ångest, ilska, skuld, nervositet och stress än eleverna i kontrollgruppen. De hade även högre energi, högre grad av optimism, entusiasm och koncentration än kontrollgruppen. Slutsatsen för denna studie blir alltså att träning korrelerar positivt med bra betyg och bättre upplevd hälsa. Nyckelord: PANAS, LOT, SE, HAD, Betyg, Träning

Full textAbstract:
El cuidador familiar i la persona dependent són les figures
principals i el focus de l’estudi. El suport donat per la família a la persona
amb dependència és important quan les situacions normals s’alteren per
malalties o qualsevol altra circumstància. Aquest suport se centra en la
figura del cuidador, sorgit del cercle més immediat de la persona
dependent; ell és qui dóna atenció en primera instància, amb dedicació i
afecte. El suport del cuidador no és només físic, instrumental o terapèutic,
aspectes molt treballats des del vessant sanitari, sinó que a més, es
responsabilitza i es compromet amb la persona dependent. Cuidar exigeix
un mínim d’afecte entre el cuidador i la persona que rep les cures, implica
responsabilitat, esforç, temps, coherència i autenticitat en la interacció que
s’estableix.
La tesi actual contempla la persona dependent i el seu cuidador com a
centre de les atencions, donada la relació que s’estableix entre ells, les
emocions i l’afecte. La mesura deles emocions ajuda a entendre els
aspectes positius del tenir cura. Haurem de pensar en la persona dependent
i el seu cuidador com l’eix central d’un sistema que haurà de tenir en
compte el benestar de la persona dependent però també el de la persona
que en té cura i, per tant, en les seves relacions i afectes.The family caregiver and dependant person are the main figures and the focus of the study. The support given by the family to the dependant person is important when normal situations are altered by disease or any other circumstance. This support focuses on the role of caregiver, emerged from the dependent person's immediate circle; He is the one who paid attention in the first instance, with dedication and affection. Caregiver support is not just physical, therapeutic or instrumental, aspects well worked from the health world, but also undertakes and agrees with the dependent person. Take care requires a minimum of affection between the caregiver and the person receiving the care, involves responsibility, effort, time, consistency and authenticity in the interaction that is established. The current thesis includes the dependent person and their caregiver as a center of attention, given the relationship that is established between them, the emotions and affection. Measuring emotions helps to understand the positive aspects of care. We think of the dependent person and your caregiver as the central axis of a system that must take into account the well-being of the individual dependent but also of the person in care and, therefore, their relationships and affections.

Mestrado em Contabilidade, Fiscalidade e Finanças EmpresariaisO estado de humor de um auditor influencia a sua performance e a eficácia de uma auditoria (Chung et al., 2005 e Cianci & Bierstaker, 2009). Como tal, os diferentes estados de humor, designados de positivos, neutros ou negativos, conduzem a diferentes avaliações em auditoria. É neste sentido que o trabalho pretende estudar os fatores condicionantes do estado de humor em auditoria com aplicação ao caso português. Para tal, foi efetuado um questionário dirigido aos auditores tendo sido obtidas 133 respostas. Foram estudadas, como causas principais do estado de humor, o número de horas de trabalho semanal, o número de anos de experiência profissional em áreas de auditoria e outras, os fatores socioeconómicos, o bem-estar social, os níveis de stress laborais e a prática de exercício físico. Através da regressão linear estimada, os resultados demonstra existir uma associação positiva do bem-estar social ao estado de humor positivo e uma associação negativa do bem-estar social ao estado de humor negativo.
An auditor's mood states influences their performance and the auditing process' effectiveness (Chung et al., 2005 e Cianci & Bierstaker, 2009). As such, different mood states, namely positive, neutral or negative, may lead to different outcomes in auditing. In this sense, our work aims to study the conditioning factors of mood states in auditing with the application to the Portuguese case. To this end, a survey was addressed to a sample of auditors, where 133 answers were obtained. We studied as major causes of mood state the number of hours worked per week, the number of years of professional experience in auditing and others areas, socioeconomic factors, social welfare, work stress levels and physical activity. Based on the estimated linear regression, we concluded that social welfare is positively associated with positive mood state and negatively associated with negative mood state.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of a 20-minute brief mindfulness meditation in positively affecting mood and attention. Its effects were compared with the effects from a period of distraction and a control condition. The sample consisted of 63 veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Pre-post test of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule were used to assess levels of state anxiety and mood. The Stroop Task was employed as a measure of selective attention. A one-way analysis of variance and split-plot analysis of variance were conducted. To control high comorbidity within this sample, sub-analyses were conducted excluding participants with other psychological or physical conditions. The results revealed that meditators without sleep problems indicated greater selective attention levels. A negative mood decrease was found in all participants regardless of the intervention group assignment. Implications for research and practice were discussed.

I denna studie undersöktes om känsligheten för stress varierar mellan olika ångestsyndrom. Respondenterna utgjordes av 36 män och 47 kvinnor, samtliga medlemmar i Svenska ångestsyndromsällskapet, som fick besvara 15 bakgrundsfrågor samt PANAS, SE-formuläret och Locus of Control. Några skillnader i stresskänslighet kunde inte påvisas. Dock uppvisade kvinnor högre grad av extern Locus of Control än män, medan män hade fler sömnproblem än kvinnor. Bortfallet i undersökningen är betydande eftersom del av respondentgruppen föll bort. Vidare forskning behövs för att klargöra om skillnader i stresskänslighet finns och om ångestdrabbade är känsligare för stress än normalbefolkningen.

Pauly, Devin Matthew. "Reactions to a Near Fatal Accident: An Investigation of Emotion and Coping Responses." TopSCHOLAR®, 2012. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1173.
Full textAbstract:
A 12-month longitudinal study assessed the emotional reactions of an intercollegiate athletic team to a near fatal bus incident. PANAS-X and the Brief COPE, administered on five occasions, indicated NA declined over time. Most coping strategies showed significant changes in trajectory. Acceptance and Positive Reframing were high across waves.
In October 2010, an intercollegiate athletic team and coaching staff were traveling by sleeper bus to an out-of-state match. The team members and coaches were in the back of the bus when they felt the bus swaying and heard the tires hit the rumble strips. The head coach went forward to find the bus driver unconscious and slumped over the steering wheel. Although the bus swerved into the oncoming lane of interstate traffic and back onto the other shoulder, the coach was able to steer the bus and stop it safely on the side of the road. The bus driver had suffered a fatal heart attack; fortunately, the coaches and players survived with only minor injuries. This study is a longitudinal follow up assessing the emotional reactions of the coaches and team to the bus incident across a twelve-month time frame. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule - Expanded (PANAS-X; Watson & Clark, 1994) and the Brief COPE (Carver, 1997) were administered on five occasions. Negative affect declined over time, with a larger drop in waves more proximal to the incident. Positive affect demonstrated a curvilinear pattern showing increases on the second and third wave but dropped off at the end of the spring semester 2011 and the beginning of the fall semester 2011. There were significant changes in the coping trajectories for 10 of the 14 coping strategies from the Brief COPE. These data are of particular interest as we could locate no other studies in the published literature of individual athlete or team reactions to traumatic travel incidents, although ESPN (Lavigne, 2010) noted that bus safety should be a concern for team travel.

Full textAbstract:
The primary aim of this thesis was to make an initial evaluation of the cognitive-oriented treatment programs “A New Direction” for young people and ”New Challenges” for adult men. The treatment programs were examined in two studies mainly aimed at measuring treatment effects on criminal thought patterns and sense of coherence. In the study of the Youth Program (Paper I), pre- and post-measurements were made with the Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles (PICTS) and the shortened version of Sense of Coherence (SOC-13). In addition, recidivism over a two-year period was analysed. The results show that the criminal thinking clearly decreases for participants in individual treatment for 9-30 weeks and that the rate of recidivism is lower compared with the control group. In the Adult Program (Paper II) study, pre- and post-measurements were made with PICTS, SOC-13, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and Quality of Program Delivery (QPD). The result shows that criminal thinking is clearly reduced, and positive affect is increased for participants in cognitive treatment that included one-week group treatment, four weeks individual treatment and finally one-week further group treatment. The individual treatment for four weeks was combined with 12-step treatment. No significant results were shown for either control participants who received 12-step treatment or no treatment. There is also a positive correlation between QPD and sense of coherence and between QPD and positive affect. The main conclusions are that the programs can reduce criminal thinking and improve salutogenic resources, which can help reduce criminal behaviour.Licentiatuppsatsen representerar ett pilotprojekt som förväntas ge en första bild av effekterna av behandling med kriminalitetsprogrammen ”Ett nytt vägval” för ungdomar och ”Nya utmaningar” för vuxna män. Det övergripande syftet har varit att bidra till evidensforskningen av kriminalitetsprogram som kombinerar både ett risk- och skyddsfokus och som utvärderats inom missbruksvården. I studie I (ungdomsstudien) visade resultatet att flerveckors individuell behandling minskar det kriminella tänkandet, ökar känslan av sammanhang och minskar brottsåterfallsfrekvensen. Studiens resultat är valida för individuell behandling under 9 till 30 veckor för målgruppen svenska pojkar med en medelålder på 17 år i förkriminell och tidig fas av kriminalitet. I Studie II (vuxenstudien) undersöktes den behandlingsform som kallas Valbo modellen som kombinerar ”Nya utmaningar” med tolvstegsbehandling. Efter att tolvstegsbehandlingens inverkan på resultatet analyserats antas den största direkta förändringsfaktorn vara behandlingen med ”Nya utmaningar”. Tolvstegsbehandlingen antas ha en mer indirekt och långsiktig verkan och vara av betydelse för den känslomässiga förankringen och hållbarheten i ett förändrat normsystem och ny livsstil. Studiens resultat är valida för svenska män i 30 års-åldern i avancerad fas av kriminalitet. Studierna utgör ett första steg mot att programmen ”Ett nytt vägval” och ”Nya utmaningar” kan sägas motsvara dagens begrepp för evidens.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS) are relatively new diagnoses steeped in interest and debate. While much of the research has been conducted in the medical – particularly neurological – field, little has been researched through the psychology field. Despite the fact that symptoms consist of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), tic and movement disorders, Autism Spectrum features, and more, the psychology field appears to be lacking in educating psychologists of PANS/PANDAS. This lack of knowledge puts children at risk as the presentation of symptoms look similar to purely psychiatric disorders. Having this knowledge is important as the treatment for PANS/PANDAS differs significantly from the psychiatric treatments for the symptoms. A wrong diagnosis can lead to delays in treatment, putting children at risk for further possible neurological damage.

Sammanfattning/AbstractSandberg, Helén (2020). En livsberättelse om skolgången för en person med PANS. Specialpedagogprogrammet, Institutionen för skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärande och samhälle, Malmö universitet, 90 hp.Förväntat kunskapsbidragPANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) eller PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) är en relativt ny och okänd diagnos inom skolan. Det är en autoimmun sjukdom som har neuropsykiatriska symtom men utlöses av infektion. Forskare menar att alla som arbetar inom skolan kommer att stöta på en eller flera elever som har PANS under sitt arbetsliv (Miglioretti, 2019, Doran, 2015). Därför är det av vikt att PANS uppmärksammas så att skolan kan ge bästa stöd för elever. Då det finns stor brist på information och forskning om PANS inom skolan är min förhoppning att genomförda studie ska kunna bidra med ökad kunskap om diagnosen och vara som en väckarklocka för skolväsendet att uppmärksamma elever med PANS.Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med undersökningen är att genom livsberättelseanalys öka kunskapen om diagnosen PANS samt hur skolan på bästa sätt kan bemöta elever med PANS och anpassa skolgången.Frågeställningar:-Hur har en person med PANS upplevt sin skolgång?-Vilka lärdomar kan skolväsendet dra ifrån denna berättelse?TeoriStudien har vägletts av livsberättelseanalys som metod men har även intagit ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv. I resultat och diskussionsdelen har en livsberättelse analyserats med hjälp av systemteori. Bronfenbrenners utvecklingsekologiska teori redogör hur en individs utveckling alltid är beroende av samspelet med sin miljö och sitt sammanhang. Livsberättelsen har studerats i förhållande till omgivningens olika system: mikro-, meso-, exo-, och makrosystem. MetodLivsberättelseintervju har använts för att studera en person med PANS subjektiva upplevelse av skolgången. Livsberättelse är en lämplig metod då upplevelser av ett fenomen ska beskrivas ur ett längre tidsperspektiv (Fejes & Thornberg, 2019). Intervjun blir då retrospektiv då informanten reflekterar över tidigare erfarenheter och minnen. Det är inte en exakt avbildning av verkligheten som eftersträvats utan personens egen berättelse om sin upplevelse av skolgången.ResultatResultatet visar att informantens upplevelse är att hon har bemötts av en oförstående skola och ett oförstående samhälle. Sjukdomen PANS bröt ut när hon var 7 år men det dröjde tills hon blev 23 år innan hon fick rätt diagnos och behandling. Under grundskolan har hon blivit utsatt för övergrepp som att bli fasthållen när hon varit i affekt samt blivit avstängd och nekad undervisning under ett helt läsår. Vidare har både skola och vård skuldbelagt henne och föräldrarna.Vad skolan kan lära sig av denna livsberättelse är vikten av att alltid ha ett relationellt perspektiv och inte lägga problemet hos eleven eller dess föräldrar. Att ha gott samarbete mellan skola och hem och lyssna på barnet och föräldrarna är avgörande för att eleven ska få rätt stöd i skolan. Vidare behöver skolan hålla sig uppdaterad om nya diagnoser och aktuell forskning för att förebygga att elever bemöts av en oförstående skola som inte ger rätt hjälp i tid.Specialpedagogiska implikationerDet är viktigt att specialpedagoger håller sig informerade om nya diagnoser och om aktuell forskning för att kunna ge eleverna bästa stöd i skolan. När skolan missförstår en elevs problematik kan det få förödande konsekvenser. Specialpedagogen kan verka för att skolan utgår ifrån ett relationellt perspektiv på skolsvårigheter där lärare alltid lyssnar på eleven och föräldrarnas bild av situationen (Nilholm, 2012). Att ha en positiv elevsyn och alltid utgå ifrån att eleven vill uppföra sig om den kan (Hejlskov et al. 2017) är av stor vikt för alla elever, men särskilt för elever med PANS.

PsicólogoObjetivo: la presente investigación pretende apoyar la validación de la Escala de Auto-compasión (EAC), aportando evidencias de validez convergente mediante un análisis correlacional entre ésta y la afectividad positiva y negativa, medidas mediante la Escala de Afectos Positivos y Negativos (PANAS). Método: el estudio posee un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo no experimental, transversal y correlacional. En primer lugar, se llevó a cabo, la traducción y adaptación de la EAC, para luego realizar una aplicación piloto de ésta. Finalmente, se aplicó junto al PANAS a 268 estudiantes universitarios chilenos. Resultados: se observaron correlaciones significativas entre auto-compasión y afectividad positiva y negativa. Los puntajes totales entre auto-compasión y afectividad positiva arrojaron una correlación moderada, positiva y significativa (r = 0,570; p<0,01), y entre auto-compasión y afectividad negativa, una correlación moderada, negativa y significativa (r = -0,558; p<0,01). Conclusiones: se encontraron propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para apoyar la validación de la EAC en Chile

Larson, Dana Elizabeth. "Feeling Sad? Maybe You are Just Uncertain! A Predictive Test for Depression." TopSCHOLAR®, 2013. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1318.
Full textAbstract:
The current study examined the relationship between depression and uncertainty within the stress-diathesis model. Depression is a mental health disorder that is wide spread within our society. However, few causes of this disease have been able to be identified. Studies in uncertainty have shown that it is a major stressor in day-to-day life. Previous research has shown that individuals with high levels of uncertainty show higher levels of depression. The stress-diathesis model, a model originally developed to explain differences in development of schizophrenia, provides a theoretically meaningful way to combine these two concepts. The model states that a person who is likely to develop a disease has an internal mechanism, a diathesis, that will be triggered upon presentation of a stressor. This study tested the idea that uncertainty can be used as a stressor to activate diathesis within an individual, aiding in the prediction of depression. In total, 163 participants were randomly assigned one of three conditions, an uncertainty threat, an affirmation condition, and a control condition. Participants were given pre and post independent variable measures of depression and anxiety. Findings suggest that uncertainty activated negative emotions differentially within the participants, resulting in higher levels of negative affects after the uncertainty threat, especially for participants who already scored relatively higher on depression indicators. These results hint at a possible understanding of why depression rates and diagnosis rates of mental health issues rise during economic downturn and other times of strong uncertainty.

La separación del constructo del afecto en sus dos dimensiones, afecto positivo y afecto negativo, está siendo utilizada en la literatura científica debido a la relación que posee con la depresión y la ansiedad. Teniendo en cuenta la potencialidad de la dimensión afectiva para identificar posibles problemáticas futuras, se está trabajando en la actualidad para medir dicho constructo en edad infantil. Por tanto, la validación de instrumentos para evaluar el afecto en muestra infantil en España se convierte en una necesidad importante. En este sentido, la presente tesis doctoral elaborada por compendios de tres publicaciones trata de responder a una serie de cuestiones importantes acerca del afecto en muestra de estudiantes españoles con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y 11 años de edad. Por un lado, el primer artículo se propone validar la versión corta de la escala Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C) e identificar la existencia de cuatro perfiles afectivos y compararlos en función de las puntuaciones en optimismo y pesimismo. El segundo artículo, por su parte, identifica también la presencia de los cuatro perfiles afectivos en una muestra distinta y los compara teniendo en cuenta las puntuaciones en rechazo escolar. Por último, el tercero de los artículos trata de identificar una serie de perfiles de agresividad en la muestra de estudiantes y analiza las diferencias que muestran en las puntuaciones de afecto, rechazo escolar y perfeccionismo. El primer artículo utilizó dos muestras de 647 y 1296 estudiantes de Educación Primaria, el segundo artículo una muestra de 1575 estudiantes y el tercer artículo una muestra de 1202 estudiantes. Todos ellos con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y 11 años de edad y pertenecientes a centros educativos españoles. Las escalas que se utilizaron fueron las siguientes: Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C) para el afecto, Youth Life Orientation Test (YLOT) para el optimismo y pesimismo, School Refusal Assessment Scale Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C) para el rechazo escolar, Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) para la agresividad y Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) para el perfeccionismo. Respecto a los resultados obtenidos en los mismos, por un lado, se ha validado la versión corta del PANAS-C para poder aplicarla en estudiantes españoles entre 8 y 11 años de edad. Por otro lado, se ha podido comprobar la identificación de cuatro perfiles afectivos que pueden ser considerados a la hora de proponer programas de intervención en la práctica profesional. En este sentido, se ha podido observar como el perfil autorrealizado ha tendido a relacionarse con dimensiones adaptativas del desarrollo humano como es el caso del optimismo, mientras que el perfil autodestructivo se ha relacionado con puntuaciones altas en dimensiones desadaptativas como es el caso del pesimismo y el rechazo escolar. A su vez, también se ha podido comprobar como los perfiles de agresividad alto se caracterizan por mostrar puntuaciones altas en afecto negativo, rechazo escolar y perfeccionismo, mientras que los perfiles de agresividad baja se caracterizan por mostrar puntuaciones altas en afecto positivo. Estos resultados expanden el conocimiento de las dimensiones afectivas en el campo de la Educación y de la Psicología.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis was concerned with the psychological adjustment of 67 end-stage cancer patients, and three psychosocial variables considered to influence that adjustment: emotional support from spouse, positive meaning, and working models of attachment. Furthermore, this thesis was also concerned with the psychological adjustment of the patients' spouses, and the influence of emotional support from patient and working models of attachment on their adjustment. It was hypothesised that each of these psychosocial variables would directly influence the psychological adjustment of patients and spouses, measured using the negative affectivity scale of the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). Furthermore, it was hypothesised that emotional support would influence positive meaning, and working models of attachment would influence both emotional support and positive meaning. Variables were measured via paper and pencil self-report inventories, with the exception of positive meaning, where verbal responses to an open question were coded. Univariate analyses indicated an association between patients' and spouses' emotional support provided by one another and their psychological adjustment. Univariate results also showed that patients' positive meaning was related to patients' psychological adjustment, and that patients' working models of attachment involving higher levels of attachment anxiety were associated with patients' poorer psychological adjustment. All these individual associations remained statistically significant after three control variables related to the patients' physical condition were taken into account. In addition, univariate analyses indicated that attachment was associated with emotional support, and that emotional support was associated with positive meaning. Following univariate analyses, variables were integrated into one model for patients and another for spouses using path analyses. Results were generally consistent with the prior sets of analyses. However, patients' working models of attachment involving higher levels of attachment anxiety no longer had a direct effect on patients' psychological adjustment to statistically significant levels. Rather, the influence of the working models of attachment on patients' psychological adjustment was mediated by emotional support. In addition, patients' positive meaning no longer had a significant direct effect on patients' psychological adjustment. The insignificant path coefficients between attachment anxiety and psychological adjustment, and between positive meaning and psychological adjustment, were attributed to the large amount of variance in negative affect due to emotional support. In summary, this research indicates that emotional support given and received between patients and spouses is important to the psychological adjustment of each party. Furthermore, emotional support influences patients' ability to construe positive meaning in their illness, although positive meaning does not appear to be as critical to the psychological adjustment of patients as emotional support. Working models of attachment influence the psychological adjustment of patients primarily through their influence on emotional support.

Worldwide, 450 million people are estimated to have a mental health problem. Therefore this study set out with the aim to fill the gap in research on how to raise happiness and subjective well-being amongst adolescents. The sample of the study consisted of 90 students ranging from 16 - 19 years of age. They were randomly assigned to one of two methods; BPS (Best Personal Self) or nostalgia. Each group was then given varying instructions on a task they would perform on a daily basis, with tests taken on the first and last day of the study. The tests consisted of questions from the PANAS (Positive and Negative Affect Scale) and the SWLS (Satisfaction with Life Scale), which would determine the different methods short- and long-term effect on the participants happiness and subjective well-being. A control group was used to compare the results of the test groups. The results indicated nostalgia as being the most effective way to raise short-term well-being amongst adolescents, which raised interesting questions for future studies.

Furthermore, it was hypothesised that emotional support would influence positive meaning, and working models of attachment would influence both emotional support and positive meaning. Variables were measured via paper and pencil self-report inventories, with the exception of positive meaning, where verbal responses to an open question were coded. Univariate analyses indicated an association between patients' and spouses' emotional support provided by one another and their psychological adjustment. Univariate results also showed that patients' positive meaning was related to patients' psychological adjustment, and that patients' working models of attachment involving higher levels of attachment anxiety were associated with patients' poorer psychological adjustment. All these individual associations remained statistically significant after three control variables related to the patients' physical condition were taken into account. In addition, univariate analyses indicated that attachment was associated with emotional support, and that emotional support was associated with positive meaning. Following univariate analyses, variables were integrated into one model for patients and another for spouses using path analyses. Results were generally consistent with the prior sets of analyses. However, patients' working models of attachment involving higher levels of attachment anxiety no longer had a direct effect on patients' psychological adjustment to statistically significant levels. Rather, the influence of the working models of attachment on patients' psychological adjustment was mediated by emotional support. In addition, patients' positive meaning no longer had a significant direct effect on patients' psychological adjustment. The insignificant path coefficients between attachment anxiety and psychological adjustment, and between positive meaning and psychological adjustment, were attributed to the large amount of variance in negative affect due to emotional support. In summary, this research indicates that emotional support given and received between patients and spouses is important to the psychological adjustment of each party. Furthermore, emotional support influences patients' ability to construe positive meaning in their illness, although positive meaning does not appear to be as critical to the psychological adjustment of patients as emotional support. Working models of attachment influence the psychological adjustment of patients primarily through their influence on emotional support.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

El desarrollo del presente trabajo se genera por la necesidad que tienen las personas de encontrar una veterinaria en la ciudad de Lima que atienda las 24 horas del día por que durante la madrugada es dificil encontrar a alguien que te ayude si tu mascota tiene un problema de salud, generando una gran preocupación para aquellas personas que cuenten con una. Este compañero de 4 patas (Perro y gato) se ha convertido en un integrante más para todas las familias y todos buscan su bienestar.
Debido a ello, se creó “El Club de 4 patas”, una idea de negocio que ofrecerá el servicio de asistencia médica las 24 horas del día a aquellas personas que cuenten con una mascota permitiendole ubicar al veterinario más cercano y darle solución a la emergencia que tengan con ellos en el momento que lo necesiten.
Este servicio será ofrecido a través de una webApp, de lunes a domingo, las 24 horas del día y se desarrollará en primera instancia en los siguientes 3 distritos Surco, San Borja y Miraflores. Para esto, la empresa gestionará el contacto del cliente con el veterinario más cercano al consumidor final mediante la webApp.
The development of the present work comes because of the needs that people have on finding a veterinary hospital in Lima that has an open door policy of 24/7, since is very difficult to find somebody who can help you with your pet if they have an illness on the early morning hours or in the middle of the night. This four-legged partner (cat or dog) has become in another member of any of the families that they are part of, and everybody is looking out for them and their health.
So, due to this concern, we have created “ El Club de 4 Patas” or “ The Four-Legged Club”, a business idea that will offer medical assistance 24 hours a day to those people who have a pet and that will give them the ease and peace of finding a veterinarian close to them so they can attend to their needs in the moment they have them.
This service will be offer trough out a webApp, from Monday to Sunday, and all day around. The service will be given in its beginning in the districts of Surco, San Borja and Miraflores. In order to accomplish this goal, the company will patch the client with the veterinarian closest to their home using this webApp.Trabajo de investigación

Full textAbstract:
Brands have for a long time been used to identify and distinguish organizations, companies and products, it can be compared to as the soul of a company. A brand extension is a clear channel for product innovation, which can be a powerful tool to hold a competitive advantage. Product innovations can create differentiation; raise the brands characteristic-values, extend the area of use and block competitors.For 25 years, Panos Emporio has had a leading position in the swimwear industry and in spring of 2011 the company launched their first clothing collection for men and woman, and has recently launched an online store. The company is extending their brand and now that they have a new product category they are facing a challenge, which is underlying in our research question: How can Panos Emporio, a swimsuit brand, expand their brand image and identity to their new clothing line? The purpose of this report is to highlight important factors within brand extension that could be of value to Panos Emporio and other companies facing a brand extension.The report is a qualitative study using an abduction methodology where empirical findings have been studied parallel with the theories and vice versa. We have conducted interviews and observations, and have also collected quantitative data in form of a customer interview, to gain an understanding of the reality. We have chosen to examine and observe the brand Panos Emporio by asking questions regarding the company‟s organization, brand identity and image, as well as customer attitudes. The theoretical framework is underlying in our research study, with the initiation of portraying a brands meaning, importance and structure. Furthermore theories of brand extension with an emphasis on approach strategy and its advantages and disadvantages. The empirical chapter includes, information concerning the company´s brand, collections, costumer and retailers, as well as marketing strategies, which is a part of our data presentation.Out of our theoretical and empirical part we came to the conclusion that Panos Emporio should consider making the consumers more aware of the clothing collection before launching more products within a new product category, since the lack of awareness can throw a shadow over the main product and bring down the brand image which in terms affects the brand equity. Having good knowledge regarding the brands attribute, personality, purpose, identity and the relationship with consumers is more important than whether they should extend the brand or not. Companies need to focus on building their brand equity and image, towards the customers first. Authors believe that companies can take great advantages if a strong brand name and relationship is established at first.Program: Master in Fashion Management with specialisation in Fashion Marketing and Retailing

Un nouvel éclairage est porté à la signification du mot effigie dans le domaine des arts plastiques à travers les termes qui fondent son étymologie. Au contact du personnage riche et connu, en l'occurrence la star, l'acte mimétique du feindre induit dans la factivité de l'art une authenticité plastique, issue d'une production d'œuvres personnelles, chaque représentation du visage est une confrontation entre deux types de doublures, l'image de la star, le voile et celui provoquée par le dédoublement du soi dans l'autre. La prédominassions du soi fragilise l'effet de reconnaissance et se greffe sur le schéma mythique pour créer un nouvel espace fécondant. Entre le paraitre et l'être, le masque et la face, l'absence, les différences sont annihilées. Chaque face anonyme, tympanisée, dépouillée de son identité, s'inscrit dans la répétition inlassable d'une pratique, et impose aux sens et à l'esprit, une cavité abyssale due à l'éclatement d'un mime expressif dans l'intention d'une figureA new light is brought to the word effigy in the visual arts through the elements pertaining to its etymology. In close touch with the rich and the famous, for instance the star, the mimetical act of feigning creates an authentic, plastic materially into the factitious art. Issued from personal works, each representation of the human face is a confrontation between two types of linings, the image or veil of the star and the splitting of oneself into the other. The control over the other weakens the recognition effect and is grafted on the mythical schene, thus creating a new, prolific space. Between the idea of appearing and being, the mask and the face, the absence and the presence, the differences are annihilated. Each anonymous, face duly hammered, stripped of its identity, lie within the untiring repetition of a practice and imposes to the senses and the mind an abyssal cavity, due to the explosion of an expressive mime attempting to create a figure

Full textAbstract:
Se realizaron estudios comparativos de sintomatología en plantas indicadoras, relaciones serológicas y relaciones moleculares de los PVS, PVM, PLV y PVP pertenecientes al género Carlavirus y que afectan al cultivo de la papa.
Los rangos de infección en plantas indicadoras mostraron sintomatología variable desde el más amplio para PLV y los más estrechos para PVS, PVP y PVM. PVS infectó a Chenopodium quinoa de manera sistémica, mientras otros virus como PVM ocasionaron una infección local, en cambio PLV se mostró asintomático o no infección como PVP. Lycopersicon esculentum resultó ser una planta susceptible solamente a la infección con PVM, siendo la única característica que lo diferencia del PVP, en cambio PLV infectó a plantas poco comunes entre los Carlavirus como Physalis floridana, Nicotiana rustica y N. glutinosa.
La reacciones heterólogas con anticuerpos policlonales (PAbs) no mostraron una relación serológica en DAS-ELISA entre los cuatro Carlavirus estudiados, pero sí una reactividad cruzada entre PVM y PVP en NCM-ELISA.
Mediante PCR usando el iniciador universal Carla-U se amplificó regiones conservadas del gen 11k de los cuatro virus estimando productos comprendidos entre 100 a 200 bp. Los iniciadores específicos diseñados a partir de la cápside proteica de los virus PVS, PVM y PLV mostraron alta especificidad para cada uno de los virus. Igualmente los productos amplificados obtenidos y que se usaron como sondas no mostraron reacciones cruzadas entre ellas.
Es el primer reporte de la secuencia del gen 11k de PVP la cual presentó una alta identidad con PVSA (variante andina) (70,9%). El nivel de identidad de los Carlavirus para el gen 11k resultó ser más baja (entre 24% y 41%) que la presentada al nivel de la región que codifica la proteína de la cápside (entre 25% y 79,4%). El análisis de secuencia que codifica la proteína de la cápside de los cuatro virus en relación con otros miembros del grupo mostraron que el aislamiento de PVS-CIP (peruano) corresponde a la variante andina (PVSA), y que la especie de PVM-CIP (peruano) presentó mayor identidad con el aislamiento “Idaho” (95,8%) (USA) que con aislamientos de Europa y Asia. Asimismo, PVSA presentó alta identidad con PLV-CIP y PRDV (virus del enanismo rugoso de la papa) (54,8% y 72% respectivamente) más no con PVSO (variante ordinaria)sugiriendo que estas dos nuevas especies podrían tener como antecesor común o mayor cercanía a PVSA. PRDV y PLV-CIP presentaron una identidad de 60,2% sugiriendo que estos dos nuevos virus, aún denominadas como tentativas del género Carlavirus por el Comité Internacional de Taxonomía (ICTV), sean consideradas como especies definitivas.
La mayor incidencia encontrada en muestreos dentro del banco del germoplasma del CIP fue para PVS (49%) seguido por PLV (13,7%), PVM (8,7%) y PVP (5,13%). No fue posible la recuperación de algún aislamiento de PLV a partir de estos muestreos.
En conclusión, basado en los resultados moleculares, PVP y PLV deberían ser considerados definitivamente en el género Carlavirus. Empleando una mezcla de PAbs en DAS-ELISA y una “polisonda” en NASH se logró la detección simultáneamente de los cuatro virus, lo cual reduce costos y tiempo cuando ambas pruebas son empleadas individualmente.--- The relationship among four Carlaviruses species such as potato virus S, M, P (PVS, PVM, PVP) and potato latent virus (PLV Syn. Red LaSoda Virus) affecting potato crop were studied using three criteria: Biological (symptomatology in host plants), serological and molecular relationships. Symptomlogically, PLV infected a wider range of host plants than PVS, PVM and PVP. Virus PVS caused a systemic infection to Chenopodium quinoa plants while other members caused a local infection (PVM), symptomless infection (PLV) and not infection (PVP) in that plant. Lycopersicon esculentum was the only host plant that get infected with PVM, in the other hand infection with PLV was generally symptomless and found in plants that are uncommon for the Carlavirus genera like Physalis floridana, Nicotiana rustica and N. glutinosa. PVP and PVM caused a similar range of infection in host plants. Serologically PVS, PVM, PLV and PVP were evaluated using double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immnosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA). This test did not show a relevant relationship or cross-reactions, it is probably because of the high specificity of DAS-ELISA (Koenig, 1978), there was only an exception when PVS antibody cross-reacted with CVB (Chrysanthemum Virus B). This, however, did not seem to be equal when the same viruses were evaluated on indirect NCM-ELISA test where a weak cross-reaction was observed between PVM and PVP. Molecularly, primer carla-uni (Badge et al., 1996) has been shown to be a primary tool for Carlaviruses when RT-PCR was carried out on PVS, PVM, PLV and PVP, and usually gives a PCR product of about 120 bp in all four viruses. Specific primers designed to amplifying the coat protein sequence for PVS, PLV and PVM have shown a total specificity, maybe because of the low homology in this region. These three PCR products were cloned, then used to develop probes and finally tested in Nucleic Acid Spot Hybridization (NASH), so that specificity was confirmed because the probes hybridized only with their complementary pathogens. These specific probes were combined to form “Polyprobe” to achieve a simultaneous detection of PVS, PVM and PLV in a radioactive and no radioactive NASH tests. The successfully developed assay was tested with material that was processed from both in greenhouse and field in order to detect these three viruses. This is the first report of the partial sequence of 11k gene of PVP, which shown high homology with the same region of PVSA (70,9%). Nucleotides identity among Carlavirus 11k gene (between 24 and 41%) was lower than the one among coat protein regions (between 25 and 79,4 %). Alignments of the partial coat protein showed clearly that PVS-CIP was identical to PVSA (91%), while PVM-CIP was identitcal to PVM “Idaho” (95,8%) and PLV showed a high similarity with PVM-CIP (64,7%.) PVS showed the highest incidence (49%), then PLV (13,7%), PVM (8,7%) and the lowest PVP (5,13%) in the native Andean cultivar collection maintained at CIP. In conclusion, all these pathogens can be classified as distinct Carlavirus members, according to their biological, serological and molecular traits. Furthermore, this work showed modifications of standard detection tests like simultaneous detections in order to simplify the technique and reduce costs and time.

El tizón tardío causado por el oomiceto Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, es la enfermedad más seria y devastadora en cultivos de papa alrededor del mundo. Aparte del uso de fungicidas, el uso de variedades resistentes es otro método para la protección de los cultivos contra esta enfermedad. Las especies silvestres de papa han demostrado ser una fuente continua de resistencia al tizón tardío en muchos programas de mejoramiento. Esta resistencia está controlada por genes R los cuales son fácilmente superados por razas nuevas de P. infestans, y/o por un número desconocido de genes que expresan un tipo cuantitativo de resistencia el cual podría ser más durable. Con el objetivo de caracterizar la resistencia a tizón tardío, 57 genotipos de una progenie diploide PCS1, originada del cruce entre Solanum paucissectum Ochoa 762126.227 (R) con S. paucissectum 762124.236 (S) fue analizada por medio de marcadores moleculares.La primera parte de la tesis estuvo enfocada en la evaluación de la técnica del perfil NBS (sitio de unión nucleotídica), estrategia basada en PCR (reacción en cadena de la polimerasa) que eficientemente reconoce regiones cromosómicas que contienen genes R y análogos de genes R (RGAs) y al mismo tiempo produce marcadores polimórficos en estos genes. Los porcentajes de polimorfismo medio detectado al usar RsaI y HaeIII como enzimas de restricción fueron 11% y 8%, respectivamente. El número promedio de polimorfismo por combinación de iniciador-enzima fue igual a 5, con un rango que va desde 3 a 13 bandas polimórficas. Los resultados indican que el perfil NBS proporciona un medio efectivo para identificar polimorfismo en papa.La segunda parte se encontró enfocada en la evaluación de regiones genómicas responsables para resistencia a tizón tardío. La familia PCS1 fue analizada con 15 marcadores de ADN conocidos por estar ligados a QTL (locus de carácter cuantitativo) para resistencia en el genoma de la papa. Los fragmentos de ADN específicos basados en PCR fueron probados por asociación con este carácter cuantitativo analizado. Dos marcadores significativamente ligados a QTL para resistencia a P. infestans fueron encontrados en los cromosomas V y XI en la progenie PCS1.--- Late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is the most serious and devastating disease of potato production worldwide. Beside fungicides, the use of resistance varieties is another strategy to protect potato production against this disease. Wild potato species have proven to be a source of resistance to late blight used by much breeding programs. This resistance is controlled by R genes which may be easily overcome by new races of P. infestans, and/or by an unknown number of genes resulting in a quantitative type of resistance which may be more durable. With the goal of characterizing resistance to late blight, 57 genotypes of a PCS1 diploid offspring originated from cross among Solanum paucissectum Ochoa 762126.227 (R) with S. paucissectum 762124.236 (S) it was analyzed by means of molecular markers.The first part of the thesis focused on the evaluation of the NBS profiling technique, a strategy based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction) that efficiently it recognizes chromosomal regions containing R genes or R genes analogs (RGAs). At the same time it produces polymorphic markers for this gene. Mean polymorphic rates detected using RsaI and HaeIII as restriction enzymes were 11% and 8%, respectively. Mean number of polymorphisms per enzyme-primer combination was equal to 5, ranging from 3 to 13 polymorphic bands. Our results indicate that NBS profiling provides an effective means to identify polymorphism in potato.The second part of the thesis focused on the evaluation of genomic regions responsible for resistance to late blight. PCS1 family was genotyped with 15 DNA markers known to be linked to QTL (quantitative trait locus) for resistance on potato genome. Specific DNA fragments based on PCR were tested for association with this analyzed quantitative character. Two markers significantly linked to QTL for resistance to P. infestans were found on chromosomes V and XI in the PCS1 progeny.

El tizón tardío, causado por el oomiceto Phytophthora infestans, es la enfermedad más devastadora que ataca a la papa alrededor del mundo. La resistencia horizontal a tizón tardío, controlada por QTLs, es la de mayor uso en los programas de mejoramiento convencional debido a su mayor durabilidad. Mediante la detección de 8 QTLs que determinan este tipo de resistencia, ésta ha sido caracterizada en una población diploide (PD), que proviene del cruce entre Solanum phureja (phu) (CHS-625) (2n=2x=24) (P) x Solanum tuberosum dihaploide (dih-tbr) (PS-3) (n=2x=24) (D). El QTL del cromosoma XII del parental dih-tbr fue reportado como el más importante de los detectados debido a su gran contribución a la resistencia y a su asociación con marcadores ligados a genes que intervienen en rutas bioquímicas de defensa.
Cuatro marcadores AFLP ligados al QTL tbr-XII fueron seleccionados para su conversión en marcadores de secuencia específica con el objetivo de facilitar su detección a gran escala en poblaciones segregantes. La técnica de PCR inversa (i-PCR) fue implementada como estrategia para la búsqueda de polimorfismo. Se desarrolló un marcador SCAR y un marcador CAPS para dicho QTL mediante i-PCR. Los otros dos marcadores SCAR fueron obtenidos directamente de la secuencia AFLP. La similitud de los patrones de segregación de los marcadores AFLP originales y los marcadores de secuencia específica obtenidos indica que éstos pueden ser empleados para detectar y/o acelerar la introgresión del QTL tbr-XII en variedades cultivadas. Adicionalmente, se secuenciaron 8 marcadores AFLP que podrían ser útiles para el diseño de marcadores de fácil uso---Late blight (LB) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is the most severe potato disease worldwide. Horizontal resistance to late blight, governed by QTLs, is the most used in breeding programs because of its longer durability, and it has been characterized in a 2x Solanum population (PD) resulted from a cross between Solanum phureja (phu) (CHS-625) (2n=2x=24) (P) x Solanum tuberosum dihaploide (dih-tbr) (PS-3) (n=2x=24) (D). Eight QTL were detected by interval mapping methods. The QTL at chromosome XII of dihaploid S. tuberosum was reported as the most important one detected in the PD population because of its high contribution to field resistance and association to defense-related markers. Four Amplified Fragments Length Polymorphism (AFLP) linked to QTL tbr-XII were selected for conversion into sequence-specific markers in order to facilitate its detection in subsequent large progenies. Three Sequence Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) and one Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) markers have been developed for this QTL. Markers were converted by using inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction (iPCR) approach and by using the sequence of the original AFLP. Testing of these markers in the PD population confirmed their linkage to the QTL tbr-XII. Therefore, the developed markers can be applied to accelerate the introgression of this QTL into advanced breeding material. Additionally, eight AFLP markers were sequenced and may be useful for PCR-based markers designing

A análise detalhada dos processos de elaboração do texto evidencia a criação coletiva e o jogo teatral. São preceitos em voga na década de 1970 e que conferem vitalidade e dinamismo à temática abordada: os contos brasileiros. Os autores e diretores guiam o público a observar a peça pelo prisma das recriações constantes, ciclos infindáveis os quais a humanidade estaria fadada a enfrentar. Eles levam à cena determinadas histórias que apresentam aos espectadores um profundo caráter de integração, pois é mostrada uma concepção de mundo na qual os seres humanos estão interligados por suas tradições. Dessa forma, mesmo após três décadas, o espetáculo continua a despertar o interesse e a atrair o público. E ainda, configura-se como uma referência no panorama teatral.
Research on the play , from 1978, written by Jos4 Geraldo Rocha and Vladimir , that represents a landmark in the playwrighting for children. The detailed analysis of the processes of elaboration of the text reveals two elements: the collective creation and the theatrical game. Those elements were in vogue in the 1970 they give vitality and dynamism to the approached theme: Brazilian tales. The authors and directors guide the public to observe the play from the point of view of constant recreations, endless cycles in which humanity would be bound to face. They bring to the scene certain stories that present spectators with a deep character of integration because they show a world conception where the human beings are linked by its own traditions. Thus, even after three decades the play continues to awake interest from the audience. It is also acclaimed as a timeless reference in the theatrical panorama.

Trabalho apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas.O ginseng (Panax ginseng) é uma espécie botânica utilizada há milhares de anos pela Medicina tradicional chinesa para aumentar a longevidade e melhorar a qualidade de vida. A planta medicinal (fármaco) é constituída pelas raízes secas (inteiras ou fragmentadas) de plantas com 4 a 6 anos de idade, quando o seu teor global de ginsenósidos (saponósidos triterpénicos tetracíclicos poli-hidroxilados) - a principal classe de compostos bioactivos do ginseng - atinge a concentração máxima. Estudos científicos parecem indicar que o ginseng aumenta a capacidade de resistência às doenças, à fadiga e ao stress. Estão ainda descritas as suas actividades antiviral, antiagregante e antioxidante e de tónico cardíaco. As acções manifestadas por esta planta medicinal originaram a criação de um novo grupo de fármacos denominados de adaptogénios. Estes produtos são caracterizados por serem capazes de normalizar lentamente o organismo, quando este se encontra sob stress ou com as resistências naturais diminuídas por infecções, ou mesmo quando haja perda de vitalidade física e intelectual por efeito do envelhecimento. Contudo, é de referir que o uso continuado deste fármaco pode originar a “síndrome de abuso do ginseng”, com efeitos idênticos aos causados pelo emprego de corticosteróides tais como nervosismo, insónia, hipertensão arterial, urticária e diarreia matinal. Este trabalho pretende rever a literatura científica disponível no que concerne aos estudos científicos já realizados ao ginseng, em particular os relacionados com os seus ginsenósidos e respectivas actividades biológicas. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a botanical species used for thousands of years by traditional Chinese medicine to increase longevity and improve life quality. The medicinal plant (drug) is constituted by the dry roots (whole or in fragments) from 4 to 6 years old plants. At that age, their overall content of ginsenosides (polyhydroxylated tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins) - the main class of bioactive compounds in ginseng - reaches its maximum. Scientific studies seem to indicate that ginseng increases the resilience to disease, fatigue and stress. Other activities reported are antiviral, antiaggregant, antioxidant and cardiotonic. The actions expressed by this medicinal plant originated the creation of a new group of drugs named adaptogens. These drugs can slowly rebalance the human body when stressed or with a diminished resistance due to infections. They can also be used when physical or intellectual vitality is somewhat decreased due to aging. However, the prolonged use of this drug can lead to “ginseng abuse syndrome”, causing identical effects to those observed with the use of corticosteroids including nervousness, insomnia, hypertension, skin eruptions and morning diarrhea. This paper aims to review the available scientific literature regarding the studies already conducted with ginseng, especially ones associated to its ginsenosides and their corresponding biological activities.

São preceitos em voga na década de 1970 e que conferem vitalidade e dinamismo à temática abordada: os contos brasileiros. Os autores e diretores guiam o público a observar a peça pelo prisma das recriações constantes, ciclos infindáveis os quais a humanidade estaria fadada a enfrentar. Eles levam à cena determinadas histórias que apresentam aos espectadores um profundo caráter de integração, pois é mostrada uma concepção de mundo na qual os seres humanos estão interligados por suas tradições. Dessa forma, mesmo após três décadas, o espetáculo continua a despertar o interesse e a atrair o público. E ainda, configura-se como uma referência no panorama teatral.
Abstract: Research on the play , from 1978, written by Jos4 Geraldo Rocha and Vladimir , that represents a landmark in the playwrighting for children. The detailed analysis of the processes of elaboration of the text reveals two elements: the collective creation and the theatrical game. Those elements were in vogue in the 1970 they give vitality and dynamism to the approached theme: Brazilian tales. The authors and directors guide the public to observe the play from the point of view of constant recreations, endless cycles in which humanity would be bound to face. They bring to the scene certain stories that present spectators with a deep character of integration because they show a world conception where the human beings are linked by its own traditions. Thus, even after three decades the play continues to awake interest from the audience. It is also acclaimed as a timeless reference in the theatrical panorama.

Full textAbstract:
This document assesses the introduction of pants roles in opera and includes a historical overview to understand the background of these roles. This dramatic conceit concentrates on the development of the operatic art form from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries. In Italy during the seventeenth century, the castrato voice, which had been a crucial aspect of church music, was now developing a position in opera. Within this document, the castrati’s transition from sacred music to the opera, where lies the bulk of their success, will be studied. As opera expands rapidly throughout the music scene, the demand of singers, specifically castratis, grew. The document will also deal with the introduction of castrati operatic roles. Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice" is analyzed. Gluck’s opera exhausted several editions and demonstrates how the role Orfeo, as well as other castrati roles, evolved once castrato slowly went extinct. The terms referring to cross-dressing roles, and their specific repertoire, as well as the process in which women came to assume these roles will also be discussed. The shift from male to female in operatic repertoire is examined, as well as the traditional pants role for women in opera. The document will also discuss the pants role Cherubino as an example. This is the embodiment of a young boy in love, experiencing the admiration of a woman for the first time, as well as the vulnerability of his feelings for a woman. Cherubino’s arias are analyzed as well as a description and explanation of his possible intentions while singing his arias will communicate the subtext of the character. This document also discusses similar characters in Italian and French repertoire. The German repertoire for pants roles is separately presented and is based on the role of Octavian in Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier. It is interesting that although the roles of Octavian and Cherubino were developed centuries apart, it is possible to compare similarities between the characters, from their creation, librettists’ perception and the composers’ execution in their compositions. This analysis was intended to exhibit the evolution of the pants role in opera and how writing current pieces for women in pants is an entirely different challenge as it was in previous centuries. In an attempt to expose different viewpoints on the subject, these questions will be addressed. The characters addressed so far are the pants; when a woman represents a male character. Meanwhile, there is a discussion about how a pants roles should be classified, although the pants role is the representation of a man played by a woman, she is not attempting to convince the audience that she is a man. The alteration of sex of a character when it is visible to the audience, and the conversation of categorizing a pants role; for example, the role of Leonore in Beethoven’s Fidelio, is debatable.

En el presente trabajo de investigación, se mejoró la sensibilidad del método desarrollado para la detección de poblaciones de Ralstonia solanacearum en suelo naturalmente infestado. La efectividad de la etapa de enriquecimiento en un nuevo caldo semi-específico desarrollado en el Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), permitió incrementar la población bacteriana hasta límites detectables, logrando la semi-cuantificación de las mismas y la detección de niveles tan bajos como 16 cél/g suelo (80 cél/g suelo en promedio).
La técnica de inmunoabsorción con conjugado enzimático del tipo sándwich de doble anticuerpo (ELISA-DAS) post-enriquecimiento, ha sido evaluada utilizando muestras de suelo de la rizósfera de plantas con síntomas de Marchitez Bacteriana de la papa (con altos niveles poblacionales) y desde allí en muestras distantes cada 15 cm. y en muestras de plantas circundantes, llegando a dispersarse hasta en 0.75m y 1.5m alrededor de la planta sintomática, respectivamente.
La sensibilidad de la técnica utilizada ha sido demostrada en mezclas de suelo infestado con bajas concentraciones del patógeno (2.0x102 a 1.1x105 unidades formadoras de colonias /g suelo) y suelo no-infestado en proporciones de 1:2 a 1:6. Además, se desarrolló una estrategia de muestreo capaz de detectar la bacteria en campos de papa con bajos niveles de incidencia de la enfermedad.
La supervivencia de Ralstonia solanacearum en suelo fue determinada después de 8 meses de barbecho o un descanso y una rotación con maíz hasta después de 3 meses de la cosecha del mismo (un total de 9 meses después de la cosecha de papa).
La presencia de R. solanacearum en suelo procedente de plantas asintomáticas donde se cosecharon tubérculos latentemente infectados fue demostrada con la técnica ELISA-DAS post-enriquecimiento y confirmada por la Prueba de patogenicidad en tomate. En los campos de producción de semilla de zonas alto andinas (superior a 3 000 m.s.n.m) de 0.25 – 0.5 ha, el número de muestras necesarias para el análisis cualitativo en un 95 y 99% de posibilidades de detección fue de 20 y 31, respectivamente.
Los resultados obtenidos bajo dos diferentes condiciones de campo permiten señalar que la técnica utilizada es altamente sensible e importante para su aplicación en el control de la Marchitez Bacteriana de la Papa en zonas paperas andinas de la provincia de Cajamarca.In this investigation, the sensibility of method developed for detection of Ralstonia solanacearum populations in naturally infested soil has been improved. The effectiveness of the stage enrichment in a new semi-specific broth developed at the International Potato Center (CIP), allowed to increase bacterial populations until detectable boundary, achieved semi-quantification of the same and the levels as few as 16 cell/g soil (averaging 80 cells/g soil) were detected. DAS-ELISA (double antibody sandwich enzyme – linked immunoassay) post-enrichment technique has been evaluated in soil samples from the rhizosphere of bacterial wilt potato plants (high level populations) and, since then from soil samples each 15cm and neighbouring plants samples, arriving spread until 0,75cm and 1.5m around the wilted plant, respectively. The technique sensibility utilized in soil samples containing concentrations of the pathogen (2.0x102 to 1.1x105 ufc/g of soil) were selected and mixed with has been demostrated for the detection in diluted soil samples with non-infested soil in proportions of 1:2 to 1:6 has been demostrated. Furthermore one strategy sampling was able to detect bacteria in potato fields with low bacterial wilt incidences has been developed. Survival of Ralstonia solanacearum in soil was determined in field after 8-months fallow or a fallow and one rotation with maize, until 3 months after harvesting the same (a total of 9-months after potato harvest). The presence of Ralstonia solanacearum in soil samples of plants without visible bacterial wilt symptoms, but which test positive for latent infection in tubers for DAS-ELISA post-enrichment technique has been demostrated and confirm by the tomate bioassay patogeniticity. In each of the three seed-multiplication fields andean highlands (over 3000 m a.s.l.) of 0.25-0.5 ha, at 95% and 99% probabilities of detection, the number n of composite samples necessary to be analysed would be 20 and 31, respectively. The results obtained in two different sets of field conditions, allowed to show that the technique utilized is highly sensible and important for application in the control potato bacterial wilt in andean potato zones at Cajamarca province.

Compara el contenido de carbohidratos totales y almidón resistente entre dos variedades de papas nativas peruanas y dos variedades de papas mejoradas (Solanum tuberosum) El estudio es descriptivo, observacional, transversal. La muestra biológica se hizo con papas nativas peruanas donadas por el Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP) al Centro de Investigación de Bioquímica y Nutrición (CIBN), denominadas con los códigos 13JP y WR recolectadas en los meses de mayo – junio 2012. Papas mejoradas más consumidas en Lima, “Canchan” y “Tomasa” adquiridas en un supermercado local, junio 2012. La papa nativa 13JP tuvo mayor porcentaje de carbohidratos totales (85,9% ± 0.006), le siguieron la papa Tomasa (77.4g% ± 0.012), la WR (67.8g% ± 0.028) y Canchan (59.9g% ± 0.007. La papa mejorada Tomasa tuvo mayor porcentaje de almidón resistente (8.28g% ± 0.077), y en menor proporción las papas canchan (3.30g% ± 0.016), la papa WR (2.03g% ± 0.005) y la 13JP (0.61g% ± 0.001). Se concluye que el contenido de carbohidratos totales fue mayor en la papa nativa 13JP siguiéndole la papa comercial Tomasa, papa nativa WR y papa comercial Canchan estudiadas. El contenido de almidón resistente fue mayor en las papas comerciales Tomasa y canchan que en las papas nativas WR y 13JP estudiadas, debido que a mayor concentración de azucares reductores disminuye la concentración de almidón resistenteTesis

Full textAbstract:
Cloudlet is a recent topic that has attained much interest in network system research. It can be characterized as a PaaS (Platform as a Service) layer that allows mobile clients to execute their code in the cloud. Cloudlet can be seen as a layer at the edge of the communication network.In this thesis, we present a cloudlet architecture design which includes cloudlet code as a part of client application itself. We first provide an overview of related work and describe existing challenges which need to be addressed. Next, we present an overview design for a cloudlet-based implementation. Finally, we present the cloudlet architecture including a prototype of both client application and cloudlet server. For the prototype of a CO2 data visualization application, we focus on how to format the functions in client side, how to schedule cloudlet PaaS in the server, and how to make the server scalable. Finally, we conclude with a performance evaluation.Cloudlet technology is likely to be widely applied in IoT projects, such as data visualization of air quality and water quality, for fan control and traffic steering, or other use cases. Compared to the traditional centralized cloud architecture, cloudlet has high responsiveness, flexibility and scalability.Cloudlet är en ny teknik som har fått stort intresse inom nätverksforskning. Tekniken kan beskrivas som en PaaS-plattform (Platform as a Service) som tillåter mobila klienter att exekvera sin kod i molnet. Cloudlet kan ses som ett lager i kanten av kommunikationsnätet.I denna rapport presenteras en cloudlet-baserad arkitektur som inkluderar cloudlet-kod som en del av själva tillämpning på klient-sidan. Vi ger först en översikt av relaterat arbete inom området och beskriver existerande utmaningar som behöver adresseras. Därefter presenterar vi en övergripande design för en cloudlet-baserad implementering. Slutligen presenterar vi cloudlet-arkitekturen, inklusive en prototypimplementation av både klient-tillämpning och cloudlet-server. I vår prototyp av en datavisualiseringstillämpning för CO2, fokuserar vi på hur man formaterar funktionerna på klientsidan, hur man schemalägger cloudlet-PaaS på serversidan, samt hur servern kan göras skalbar. Rapporten avslutas med en prestandautvärdering.Cloudlet-tekniken bedöms i stor utsträckning att användas i IoT-projekt, såsom datavisualisering av luftkvalitet och vattenkvalitet, fläktstyrning och trafikstyrning eller andra användningsområden. Jämfört med den traditionella centraliserade molnarkitekturen har cloudlet hög respons, flexibilitet och skalbarhet.

Full textAbstract:
Platform as a Service (PaaS) has produced a huge impact on how we can offer easy and scalable software that adapts to the needs of the users. This has allowed the possibility of systems being capable to easily configure themselves upon the demand of the customers. Based on these features, a large interest has emerged to try and offer virtualized Hadoop solutions based on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) architectures in order to easily deploy completely functional Hadoop clusters in platforms like Amazon EC2 or OpenStack. Throughout the thesis work, it was studied the possibility of enhancing the capabilities of KTHFS, a modified Hadoop platform in development; to allow automatic configuration of a whole functional cluster on IaaS platforms. In order to achieve this, we will study different proposals of similar PaaS platforms from companies like VMWare or Amazon EC2 and analyze existing node orchestration techniques to configure nodes in cloud providers like Amazon or Openstack and later on automatize this process. This will be the starting point for this work, which will lead to the development of our own orchestration language for KTHFS and two artifacts (i) a simple Web Portal to launch the KTHFS Dashboard in the supported IaaS platforms, (ii) an integrated component in the Dashboard in charge of analyzing a cluster definition file, and initializing the configuration and deployment of a cluster using Chef. Lastly, we discover new issues related to scalability and performance when integrating the new components to the Dashboard. This will force us to analyze solutions in order to optimize the performance of our deployment architecture. This will allow us to reduce the deployment time by introducing a few modifications in the architecture. Finally, we will conclude with some few words about the on-going and future work.

195 native potato cultivars collected in Chahuaytire community and 246 native potatoes repatriated to Potato Park Communities Association (ACPDP) by the International Potato Center (CIP) were characterized using nine primer pairs that amplify the ten most polymorphic microsatellite loci from the potato genetic identification kit (STM0019, STPoAc58, STM0037, STM0030, STM1104, STM1052, STM1106, STM2013, STM2022), located in 9 of the 12 chromosomes of potato. The molecular characterization differentiated the 93.33% of the native potatoes from the Chahuaytire community and the 92.68% of repatriated native potatoes from CIP. 114 and 130 alleles and average diversity index between 0.762 and 0.776 were obtained in the Chahuaytire community and the repatriated potatoes, respectively. The clustering of potato cultivars was performed using the UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean) method applied to similarity matrix obtained with Jaccard coefficient. Clustering analysis revealed that no differentiation according to origin was found. Similarly, Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) revealed that the molecular variation between evaluated groups was 0.73% (p- value=0.05), indicating a basically similar genetic constitution between both groups. The main source of molecular variation, 99.27% (p-value=0.05), was found within the native potatoes inside groups. However, the finding of 6 private alleles in the native potatoes from Chahuaytire suggests that some genetic diversity maintained in the Chahuaytire native potatoes is not represented in the 246 repatriated potatoes from CIP.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has long been used in the Far East to aid in the recovery and prevention of illness. Ginseng, an over-the-counter herbal product in the UK, is amongst these herbal CAMs currently available to the general public. Ginseng is renowned for its rejuvenating properties and its purported ability to aid cognitive function and well-being. Despite the huge global market for ginseng there is little in the way of human research, utilising standardised ginseng extracts and well controlled methodology to support many of these claims. Additionally, ginseng's underlying mechanisms of action are poorly understood. The present thesis documents 5 double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trials investigating the effects of Panax ginseng, following acute and chronic ingestion, on behaviour, mood and indices of glucose regulation in young healthy volunteers. The results of the five studies making this thesis suggest that both acute and chronic dosing with Panax ginseng is capable of modulating mood and cognitive performance in healthy young volunteers. Chapters 2 and 3 also demonstrate, for the first time, Panax ginseng's ability to modulate blood glucose levels following a single acute dose in overnight fasted healthy volunteers. In chapters 2 and 3, significant reductions in blood glucose levels and concomitant improvements in mental arithmetic (working memory) performance were reported. Chapter 4 revealed for the first time Panax ginseng's positive effects on traditional measures of working memory, thus posing the suggestion that previous failures to report working memory effects (using traditional working memory tasks) may have been due to poor task selection. Chapter 5 revealed an unexpected superimposed relationship between chronic and acute ingestion of Panax ginseng. The pattern of results suggests that following chronic dosing, an acute dose can further modulate cognition and mood (suggestive of a psychological dependence). The final chapter documents a different profile of cognitive and mood effects following a non-standardised Panax ginseng extract, thus highlighting the need for caution when generalising results across ginseng types and beyond the specific parameters of the methodologies utilised in any given study. Methodological differences between studies may go some way in explaining the inconsistent data patterns reported between studies, research groups and ginseng extracts. These data further highlight the need for well-controlled studies utilising standardised ginseng extracts and the need for the integration of 'theory driven' research in order to fractionate any behavioural effect. Such methodologies will inevitably lead to greater consistency between behavioural studies, at least in the first instance within the restricted population of volunteers utilised in the present thesis.

TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN MARKETINGScarlet Galva [Parte I], Marie-Laure Pocheron [Parte II]
Chill’Ote es un local de comida rápida ubicado en la galería del Subcentro en metro Escuela Militar del sector oriente de Santiago. Abrió en enero del 2015, ofreciendo una propuesta novedosa: el plato de fondo se centra en las papas fritas, las cuales suelen ser un acompañamiento en otros restaurantes. El menú de Chill’Ote consiste en que la papa fritas es la estrella de cada plato y vienen acompañada de distinta variedades de agregados y salsas como pollo teriyaki y carne mechada. Actualmente Chill’Ote tiene una clientela muy fiel, y un posicionamiento claramente diferenciado en la mente de sus clientes sin embargo tiene un bajo nivel de awreness dentro del mercado a cual pertenece. A casi dos años de su apertura, el restaurante apenas consigue cubrir sus costos, y no genera ganancias para sus dueños. Esto se debe principalmente a que las ganancias generadas entre las 13 y 15 horas son aniquiladas para la rentabilidad negativa de los horarios bajos: 10 a 13h y 15h a 21h. En este informe realizamos un diagnóstico de la situación inicial, con segmentación del mercado y posicionamiento actual de la marca, para poder analizar sus fortalezas y debilidades.
