Tesi sul tema "Asthetic"

Interest in the restoration of landscapes native to the Intermountain West is growing as the value of these arid ecosystems is increasingly recognized. Many landscapes within the Intermountain region have been impacted by grazing, development, recreation, and other human-caused disturbances. The complex relationships within the native plant communities of these arid landscapes need to be well-understood biologically, while considering their aesthetic contribution, if restoration efforts are to succeed. Although the use of ecologically appropriate native species is increasing in popularity, there is discontinuity between aesthetics and meaningful ecological contributions. A series of studies was designed to aid in the restoration of a site located at the Utah Botanical Center in Kaysville, Utah. The restoration site is situated along the I- 15 corridor which interfaces urban development. The high visibility and educational purpose of the site requires that aesthetic as well as ecological concerns are addressed in the restoration of the native plant community. Specifically, the establishment of Intermountain grassland species was assessed using a variety of methods to test establishment rates as well as the potential value to the system of biologically fixed nitrogen provided by native legumes early within the establishment period.

Spinozisme et esthétique. Ces deux éléments majeurs de l'historiographie allemande ne semblent pas être faits pour se rencontrer. D'un côté, nous avons la réception tourmentée du spinozisme, depuis les premières diffusions des textes du vivant de Spinoza jusqu'aux controverses qui en font une pensée disparate, façonnée par les espaces non remplis que l'on a cherché à combler au gré des réfutations et des attaques contre sa pensée et ses prétendus adeptes. Dans l'Allemagne du XVIIIe, le spinozisme est pour sa plus grande part une construction factice, nourrie des critiques plutôt que par la lecture des textes. En outre, Spinoza occupe majoritairement la métaphysique et la théologie. D'un autre côté, une nouvelle science émerge à la suite de la contestation de l'idée du beau et de la volonté de réhabiliter la sensibilité au moyen du goût et de la connaissance sensible. Nous intéresserons plus particulièrement à la partie de l'esthétique proche de l'anthropologie et de la psychologie qui émergent à cette époque. C'est à cet endroit que nous situons le point de convergence entre le spinozisme et l'esthétique. En effet, bien que Spinoza n'ait pas fait d'esthétique, il s'est longuement intéressé à une sorte d'anthropologie que nous retrouvons dans l'Éthique, surtout dans le livre III, central aussi bien dans son livre que dans sa pensée, mais aussi dans le livre IV. Ainsi, à partir du présupposé d'une rencontre entre l'esthétique et le spinozisme, notre travail explore la "réception esthétique" de la philosophie Spinoza. Il ne s'agit bien évidemment pas de minimiser la part des auteurs traditionnellement reconnus dans la naissance de l'esthétique, mais de reconnaître la place du spinozisme parmi eux. La question qui anime ce travail est donc la suivante : en quoi l'esthétique allemande est-elle, elle aussi, aux côtés de la métaphysique et de la théologie, hantée par le spinozisme ? Nous répondrons en nous appuyant sur des "signes" pour identifier les "présences" du spinozisme dans l'esthétique rationaliste allemande. Il ne s'agit pas de dire que le spinozisme a façonné cette esthétique à la manière du wolffisme, ou qu'il a orienté les débats sur la sensibilité à la manière des sensualistes. Nous allons parcourir le XVIIIe siècle allemand à la recherche de signes spinoziste chez Tschirnhaus, Leibniz, Wolff, Sulzer, Mendelssohn et Lessing. In fine, les hypothèses que nous formulerons dans le corps de ce travail permettront, nous l'espérons, de reconsidérer la réception de la philosophie de Spinoza dans l'Allemagne du XVIIIe, en lui reconnaissant une place dans la naissance de l'esthétique
Spinozism and aesthetics. These two major elements of German historiography do not seem to be made to meet. On the one hand, we have the tormented reception of Spinozism, from the first diffusion of the texts during Spinoza's lifetime to the controversies that have turned it into a disparate thought, shaped by the gaps that have been sought to be filled by refutations and attacks against its alleged followers. In eighteenth-century Germany, Spinozism was for the most part a factitious construction, nourished by criticism rather than by reading the texts. Moreover, Spinoza was mainly concerned with Metaphysics and Theology. On the other hand, a new science emerges as a result of the contestation of the idea of the Beautiful and the will to rehabilitate sensibility by means of taste and sensitive knowledge. We will focus on the part of Aesthetics close to Anthropology and Psychology that emerges at that time. It is here that we locate the point of convergence between Spinozism and Aesthetics. Indeed, although Spinoza did not do Aesthetics, he was at considerable length interested in a kind of Anthropology that we find in the Ethics, especially in Book III, central both to his book and to his thought, but also in Book IV. Thus, based on the premise of an encounter between Aesthetics and Spinozism, our work explores the "aesthetic reception" of Spinoza's philosophy. It is not, of course, a question of minimising the part played by traditionally established authors in the birth of Aesthetics, but of acknowledging the place of Spinozism among them. The question that motivates this work is therefore the following: in what way is German Aesthetics, alongside Metaphysics and Theology, haunted by Spinozism? We will answer by relying on "signs" to identify the "presences" of Spinozism in German rationalist Aesthetics. It is not a question of claiming that Spinozism has shaped this Aesthetics in the same way as Wolffism, or that it has oriented the debates on sensibility in the same way as the Sensualists. We will go through the German eighteenth century in search of Spinozist signs in the works of Tschirnhaus, Leibniz, Wolff, Sulzer, Mendelssohn and Lessing. In the end, the assumptions we will develop in the course of this work will, we hope, allow us to reconsider the reception of Spinoza's philosophy in eighteenth-century Germany, by acknowledging its place in the birth of Aesthetics

Resumo: Este trabalho discute a constituição do trabalho coletivo no cotidiano da escola instituída a partir de uma dimensão estética que opera na contramão dos discursos e das práticas da educação oficial. Para tanto, a metodologia privilegiada é a da novela de formação, que me permite narrar a partir de episódios vividos por mim na escola como professora e depois como diretora e com o auxílio de outras vozes participantes de um momento deste processo, como a de alguns alunos, professores e membros do Conselho de Escola, a dura luta para a constituição do trabalho coletivo na escola apesar dos impedimentos produzidos pelas políticas públicas que promovem a descontinuidade dos processos e projetos, a in-visibilidade das práticas docentes e um mal-estar docente e discente. Nossa intenção é trazer à luz os sentidos que são construídos no trabalho coletivo da escola a partir das relações compartilhadas em que a dimensão estética constituidora da ética permite aos sujeitos participantes do grupo ressignificarem sua própria ação e seu estar no mundo a despeito do papel obstaculizador que tem marcado as políticas públicas no Brasil. Nesse sentido, para além do discurso dúbio das políticas educacionais, advogamos a idéia de haver sempre interstícios constituidores do humano que possibilitam o surgimento de uma nova perspectiva, um excedente de visão, que fornecem ao sujeito, num flash abdutivo, uma re-visão, um re-significado de suas ações e de sua vida, que possibilitam um resistir e transpor as limitações e coerções características do cotidiano escolar instituído
Abstract: This work discusses the constitution of the collective work in the day by day of the instituted school starting from an aesthetic dimension that operates against the discourse and practices of the official education. The privileged methodology for this is the one of the formation novel, that allows me to narrate starting from episodes lived by me in the school as teacher and later as principal and with the aid of other participant voices of a moment of this process, like the ones of some students, teachers and members of the Council of School, the hard fight for the constitution of the collective work in the school in spite of the impediments produced by the public politics that promote the discontinuity of the processes and projects, the in-visibility of the educational practices and an educational discontent among teachers and students. Our intention is to bring to the light the meanings that are built in the collective work of the school starting from the relationships shared in which the aesthetic dimension which constitutes the ethics allows to the participant subjects of the group resignify his/her own action and his/her to be in the world in spite of the obstructing role that has been played by the public politics in Brazil. In that sense, beyond the dubious discourse of the education politics, we pled the idea of there being always the human's constituting interstices that make possible the appearance of a new perspective, a vision surplus, that furnish to the subject, in a abductive flash, a re-vision, a new meaning of his/her actions and of his/her life, what makes possible to resist and to transpose the limitations and coercions which characterizes the everyday instituted school

O tratamento ortodôntico tem um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida e na auto-estima dos adolescentes, com implicações sociais, emocionais e comportamentais. Sua percepção é determinada por diversos aspectos subjetivos que não são totalmente compreendidos. A pesquisa qualitativa busca interpretar os significados psicológicos e socioculturais dos indivíduos acerca dos múltiplos fenômenos pertinentes ao campo dos problemas da saúde-doença. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi: identificar, através de uma revisão da literatura, artigos que utilizaram a metodologia qualitativa, identificando os principais aspectos do seu conteudo; e conhecer e analisar as representações sociais de escolares adolescentes sobre a má oclusão e o tratamento ortodôntico. Uma pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada através da análise de conteúdo de dados coletados de 142 adolescentes, de 12 a 15 anos de idade, 23 do gênero masculino e 48 do feminino, estudantes de 8 escolas, sendo 4 públicas e 4 particulares. Os métodos de pesquisa utilizados foram a TALP (Técnica de Associação de Palavras) seguido de oito grupos focais com 71 desses alunos. As palavras mais recorrentes na Técnica de Associação de Palavras demonstraram um impacto estético positivo do aparelho ortodôntico, tanto para a auto-avaliação dos adolescentes como para a avaliação de amigos. Vários temas foram identificados na análise qualitativa, sendo o benefício estético do tratamento ortodôntico e o impacto estético do aparelho, os pontos positivos mais relevantes. O aspecto negativo mais citado no estudo foi a dor associada ao tratamento, seguida pelos desconfortos e traumas causados pelo aparelho fixo. O tratamento ortodôntico tem um impacto estético positivo para adolescentes brasileiros com melhora da auto-imagem. Os aparelhos ortodônticos fixos demonstraram ter um impacto positivo imediato na aparência e são um fator importante nas relações comportamentais entre os adolescentes brasileiros, particularmente, devido à sua associação com o status social. A compreensão dos aspectos sociocomportamentais envolvidos no tratamento ortodôntico é fundamental para a relação clínica entre paciente e profissional.
Orthodontic treatment has a significant impact on the quality of life and self-esteem of adolescents, with emotional and behavioral implications. The objective of this research was to know the perception of Brazilian adolescents about the treatment and the orthodontic appliance. A qualitative research was carried out through content analysis of data collected from 142 adolescents, using the Word-Association Technique (WAT), followed by eight focal groups with 71 of these students. The most recurrent words on the WAT demonstrated a positive aesthetic impact of the orthodontic appliance, both for the self-assessment of the adolescents and the evaluation of friends. Several themes were identified in the qualitative analysis, being the aesthetic benefit of orthodontic treatment and the aesthetic impact of the appliance the most relevant positive points. The most cited negative aspect in the study was the pain associated with the treatment, followed by the discomforts and traumas caused by the fixed appliance. Orthodontic treatment has a positive aesthetic impact for Brazilian adolescents with an improvement of their self-image. Fixed orthodontic appliances have an immediate positive impact on appearance and are an important factor in behavioral relationships among Brazilian adolescents, particularly, due to their association with social status. The understanding of the socio-behavioral aspects involved in orthodontic treatment is of fundamental importance for the clinical relationship between patient and professional.

The purpose of this research is to make an analysis of the themes and aesthetics of the film Persona, from Ingmar Bergman, 1966. The first chapter is my analysis of the work, following the model of the writers Anne Goliot-Lété and Francis Vanoye, and the second chapter discusses the critical texts, analysis and interviews connected to the film. I also discussed the difficulties related to the interpretation of movies, and I tried in my own analysis to be very close to the movie itself, despite the tentations to invent more.
A pesquisa tem como objetivo fazer uma análise estilístico-temática do filme Persona, de Ingmar Bergman, 1966. O primeiro capítulo é a minha análise da obra, seguindo o modelo dos escritores Anne Goliot-Lété e Francis Vanoye, e o segundo trata da discussão de textos críticos, de análises e entrevistas ligados à obra. Busquei nesse trabalho discutir as dificuldades ligadas à interpretação de uma obra cinematográfica, atendo-me à questão de não deixar de lado a leitura do filme em si, a despeito das tentações que certos temas e rastros estilísticos podem despertar.

Nova Cella de Grünau, Cella Salutis de Tückelhausen, Hortus Angelorum de Wurtzbourg, Cella Beatae Mariae de Nuremberg, Pontis Mariae d'Astheim et enfin Hortus Mariae d'Ilmbach sont les six chartreuses fondées en Franconie, région morcelée en multiples seigneuries et centres urbains. La Franconie est-elle une réalité pour l’ordre des Chartreux des XIVe et XVe siècles ? Ce sont d’abord l’historiographie de l’ordre des chartreux ainsi que celle de la Franconie qui doivent être confrontées dans le but d’identifier cet objet de recherche finalement assez peu évident. Plusieurs mécanismes institutionnels cartusiens sont ensuite décortiqués afin de mettre en perspective le fonctionnement de l’ordre sur un territoire clairement défini. Enfin l’étude de l’appropriation de l’observance par les Franconiens expose les modalités de l’insertion des chartreuses dans leur environnement immédiat
The purpose of this work is to analyse in which way the six charterhouses of Franconia could be regarded as a coherent ensemble, and if it is possible to recognize a franconian identity of the Carthusian monks. The territory of the Land zu Franken is contested since the contemporaries tend to define the territory according to their private interests. The order of the Carthusian monks settles tardily in Franconia. They propose a renewal of the contemplative orders which were so far incarnated by the Benedictines and Cistercians whose expansion finishes at the end of 13th century. A study of the institutional mechanisms of the order, accompanied by a prosopography of the officers of the area shows that the monks of Franconia fit within the border framework of the province of lower Germany. The officers, by their displacements limited within the area of the province, build the network between the communities and thereby provide a structure of lower Germany. The process of foundation shows that the order of the Carthusians is used by the founders with an aim of representation of their might which explains why the houses are joined together in the valley of the Main, where the lordships stand in a fierce competition. The funerary liturgy of the Carthusians also explains the choices of the founders for this observance, since some monasteries become places of burials. Finally, the relations of the franconian Carthusians with the world are considered by their literary activities, as well as by their engagement in the beginning of the Reformation
Unter der Bezeichnung fränkische Kartausen versteht man eine Gruppe von sechs Klöstern, die zwischen 1328 und 1453 gestiftet wurden: Nova Cella in Grünau (1328), Cella Salutis in Tückelhausen (1348), Hortus Angelorum in Würzburg (1350), Cella Beatae Mariae in Nürnberg (1380), Pontis Mariae in Astheim (1409) und Hortus Mariae in Ilmbach (1453). Diese Bezeichnung wird vor allem durch die heutige Vorstellung des fränkischen Raumes geprägt: Bilden die Kartäuser von Franken im Mittelalter tatsächlich eine einheitliche zu untersuchende Gruppe? Lässt sich von einem Gruppenbewusstsein der fränkischen Kartäuser sprechen, wenngleich die Verwendung des Begriffs Identität im Mittelalter Schwierigkeiten mit sich bringt? Ist es möglich, dass die fränkischen Kartausen vom Orden selbst als solche verstanden wurden oder handelt es sich um eine, dem kartäusischen System fremde Konstruktion?

Інформаційна трансформація, що властива ХХІ століттю, та активізація соціально-економічних, політичних, морально-духовних стандартів суспільства, яке становить перед спеціалістом різноманітні проблеми. Одна з таких проблем - це вибір професії для особистості, самостановлення та самоактуалізація. Від його свідомого вибору залежить не тільки професійне становлення, а й фізичне та психо-емоційне здоров’я та досягнення осо бистістю вершин «акме». Психологічне благополуччя та емоційне здоров’я спеціаліста є одним із базових чинників професійної діяльності, а цілісне фізичне та моральне здоров’я – основною передумовою професійної самореалізації та самоактуалізації, все це обумовило вибір теми дослідження: «Профілактика професійного вигорання фізичних реабілітологів». У розділі 1 досліджуються теоретичні підходи на проблематику формування професійного вигорання та підходи до його вивчення, здійснюється аналіз поняття синдрому «професійного вигорання» та соціально-психологічні особливості професійного вигорання фізичних реабілітологів його структура, характеристика та фази формування, визначається взаємозалежність особистісних якостей реабілітологів та факторів що спричиняють виникнення синдрому «професійного вигорання». В розділі 2 проводиться дослідження особливостей прояву симптомів професійного вигорання серед фізичних реабілітологів. В розділі 3 здійснюється організація та методологія дослідження синдрому професійного вигорання у професійних масажистів. В розділі 4 визначаєються соціально-психологічні напрями профілактики та подолання проявів синдрому професійного вигорання та пропонується структурно-функціональної програми щодо попередження симптомів професійного вигорання фізичних реабілітологів.
Information transformation, which is characteristic of the XXI century, and the activation of socio-economic, political, moral and spiritual standards of society, which poses a variety of problems for the specialist. One of such problems is the choice of profession for the individual, self-formation and self-actualization. Not only professional development but also physical and psycho-emotional health and personal achievement of acme peaks depend on his conscious choice. The psychological well-being and emotional health of a specialist is one of the basic factors of professional activity, and holistic physical and moral health - the main prerequisite for professional self-realization and self-actualization, all this led to the choice of research topic: «The prevention of the professional burnout of the physical rehabilitation therapists». Section 1 examines the theoretical approaches to the formation of burnout and approaches to its study, analyzes the concept of «burnout» and socio-psychological features of burnout of physical rehabilitators, its structure, characteristics and phases of formation, determines the interdependence of personal qualities of rehabilitators and factors cause the syndrome of «professional burnout». Section 2 examines the study of the peculiarities of the symptoms of burnout among physical rehabilitation specialists. Section 3 provides the organization and methodology of the study of burnout in professional masseurs. Section 4 identifies the socio-psychological areas of prevention and overcoming the manifestations of burnout and proposes a structural and functional program to prevent the symptoms of burnout of physical rehabilitation.

Cette étude cherche à savoir si les six chartreuses de Franconie forment une unité au sein de l’ordre des Chartreux, mais pose également la question de l’identité « franconienne » des chartreux. Le Land zu Franken est un espace fortement connoté, puisque les discours tenus par les contemporains tendent à définir le territoire en fonction de leurs intérêts particuliers. L’ordre des Chartreux s’installe tardivement et propose un renouvellement des ordres contemplatifs incarnés jusque-là par les Bénédictins et les Cisterciens dont l’expansion se termine à la fin du XIIIe siècle. Une étude des mécanismes institutionnels de l’ordre, accompagnée d’une prosopographie des officiers cartusiens de la région, montre que les chartreux de Franconie s’insèrent dans le cadre plus large de la province d’Allemagne inférieure, dont l’organisation est faite depuis le chapitre général. Les officiers, par leurs déplacements contenus dans les limites de la province, construisent le réseau entre les communautés. Le processus de fondation montre que l’ordre est utilisé par les fondateurs dans un but de représentation de pouvoir, ce qui explique pourquoi les maisons sont réunies dans la vallée du Main. Par ailleurs, la liturgie funéraire des chartreux motive également le choix des fondateurs pour cette observance, puisque quelques chartreuses deviennent des lieux de sépultures. Les relations des chartreux franconiens avec le monde sont aussi envisagées à l’appui de leurs activités littéraires et leur engagement dans l’introduction de la Réforme

This research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents the results of 60 first-person psycho-phenomenological interviews with 30 New Zealand women. The participants were recruited from the Canterbury and Wellington regions, 10 had recovered. Taking a non-dual, non-reductive embodied approach, the phenomenological data was analysed semiotically, using a graph-theoretical cluster analysis to elucidate the large number of resulting categories, and interpreted through the enactive approach to cognitive science. The initial result of the analysis is a comprehensive exploration of the experience of CFS which develops subject-specific categories of experience and explores the relation of the illness to universal categories of experience, including self, ‘energy’, action, and being-able-to-do. Transformations of the self surrounding being-able-to-do and not-being-able-to-do were shown to elucidate the illness process. It is proposed that the concept ‘energy’ in the participants’ discourse is equivalent to the Mahayana Buddhist concept of ‘contact’. This characterises CFS as a breakdown of contact. Narrative content from the recovered interviewees reflects a reestablishment of contact. The hypothesis that CFS is a disorder of action is investigated in detail. A general model for the phenomenology and functional architecture of action is proposed. This model is a recursive loop involving felt meaning, contact, action, and perception and appears to be phenomenologically supported. It is proposed that the CFS illness process is a dynamical decompensation of the subject’s action loop caused by a breakdown in the process of contact. On this basis, a new interpretation of neurological findings in relation to CFS becomes possible. A neurological phenomenon that correlates with the illness and involves a brain region that has a similar structure to the action model’s recursive loop is identified in previous research results and compared with the action model and the results of this research. This correspondence may identify the brain regions involved in the illness process, which may provide an objective diagnostic test for the condition and approaches to treatment. The implications of this model for cognitive science and CFS should be investigated through neurophenomenological research since the model stands to shed considerable light on the nature of consciousness, contact and agency. Phenomenologically based treatments are proposed, along with suggestions for future research on CFS. The research may clarify the diagnostic criteria for CFS and guide management and treatment programmes, particularly multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches. Category theory is proposed as a foundation for a mathematisation of phenomenology.
