A estética do grotesco como meio para potencializar a expressividade no corpo cênico

Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Artes, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Artes, 2019.Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar procedimentos que potencializassem a expressividade no corpo cênico a partir da estética do grotesco. Dialoga principalmente com a teoria proposta por Mikhail Bakhtin acerca do realismo grotesco e de outros autores, como Wolfgang Kayser, acerca do grotesco. Bakhtin associa o grotesco às manifestações populares nos períodos da Idade Média e Renascimento europeus. A partir da obra literária de François Rabelais, vincula-o à realidade da própria vida especialmente durante festas como o Carnaval, elaborando uma concepção de mundo e um sistema de imagens em que predomina a coletividade, a ambivalência, a abundância e o riso alegre. Bufões e bobos são os representantes por excelência dessa categoria, com suas protuberâncias, excrecências e hibridismos. O teatro acontece na feira, na praça pública, em peças farsescas, na Commedia dell’Arte, nos mistérios e soties. Já Kayser está mais associado ao grotesco romântico, uma vertente não tão cômica, mais caracterizada pelo sarcasmo, ironia e pessimismo. Como pontos comuns entre os autores, está a manifestação do excesso, do monstruoso, da heterogeneidade, bem como o reconhecimento da natureza subversiva do grotesco. Dialogando também com o encenador e pedagogo Meierhold, foi desenvolvida uma práxis teatral a partir da seleção de um elemento do realismo grotesco – o “baixo material e corporal” e da premissa de “olhar para o avesso”, reconhecendo o grotesco em si mesmo e buscando transformá-lo em expressividade cênica. Também são apresentadas noções que foram utilizadas nessa praxis: variações, subversão e profundidade/superfície. A pesquisa aconteceu em duas fases, a primeira com um grupo de artistas voluntários/as e a segunda com um ator. Foram criadas duas experiências estéticas – a brincadeira “Diabos” e o espetáculo solo “Minhoca”, que também serão abordadas nestas páginas.This research had as a purpose the investigation of procedures that could enrich the expressivity in the scenic body through the aesthetics of the grotesque. It dialogues mainly with the theory proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin about the grotesque realism and other authors, such as Wolfgang Kayser, about the grotesque. Bakhtin associates the grotesque to the folk culture in the periods of European Middle Age and Renascence. From François Rabelais’s literary work, Bakhtin connects it to the reality of life itself, especially during parties like the Carnival, elaborating a conception of the world and a system of images in which prevails the collectivity, the ambivalence, the abundance and the joyful laughter. Buffoons and fools are the main representatives of this category, with their protuberances, excrescencies and hybridisms. The theater happens in the public markets, in plays like the farces, in Commedia dell’Arte, misteries and soties. Kayser is more associated to the romantic grotesque, an approach that isn’t so comical, more characterized by sarcasm, irony and pessimism. As common points between the authors is the manifestation of the excess, the monstrousness, the heterogeneity, as well as the recognition of the subversive nature within the grotesque. Also in dialogue with the director and pedagogue Meierhold, it was developed a theatrical praxis from the selection of one element of the grotesque realism – the “low material bodily principle” and from the idea of “looking backwards”, recognizing the grotesque in ourselves and looking for means on how to transform it into scenic expressivity. In this thesis it is also presented the notions that were used in the praxis: variations, subversion and deepness/shallowness. The research had two stages: the first one with a group of volunteer artists and the second with an actor. It was created two aesthetic experiences – the street game “Devils” and the theatrical solo “Worm”, which are approached in these pages as well

Random-energy model in random fields

The random-energy model is studied in the presence of random fields. The problem is solved exactly both in the microcanonical ensemble, without recourse to the replica method, and in the canonical ensemble using the replica formalism. The phase diagrams for bimodal and Gaussian random fields are investigated in detail. In contrast to the Gaussian case, the bimodal random field may lead to a tricritical point and a first-order transition. An interesting feature of the phase diagram is the possibility of a first-order transition from paramagnetic to mixed phase.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures (included

Left ventricular mass and cardiothoracic index in patients with chronic renal disease on hemodialysis

Introduction:Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD) on hemodialysis (HD). Objective:To show the usefulness of chest radiography in the diagnosis of LVH in CRD patients on HD. Methods:Cross-sectional study including 100 patients (58 men and 42 women), mean age 46.2 ± 14.0 years, with CRD of all causes, for at least six months on HD. Were obtained echocardiogram and chest x-rays of patients, always up to one hour after the end of HD sessions. Results:LVH was detected in 83 patients (83%), of whom 56 (67.4%) had the concentric pattern and 27 (32.6%) with eccentric pattern of LVH. Cardiomegaly - defined by cardiothoracic index (CTI) > 0.5 - was present in 61 patients (61%). The following were the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, respectively, for the variable ICT: 66.2%, 70.5% and 68.0%. The Pearson correlation between ICT and index of left ventricular mass (LVMI) was 0.552 (p 0,5 - esteve presente em 61 pacientes (61%). Foram os seguintes os valores de sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia, respectivamente, para a variável ICT: 66,2%, 70,5% e 68,0%. A correlação de Pearson entre ICT e índice de massa do ventrículo esquerdo (IMVE) foi de 0,552 (p < 0,05) e razão de verossimilhança positivo de 2,2. Conclusão:A radiografia de tórax é um exame seguro e útil como ferramenta diagnóstica de HVE em pacientes com DRC em HD.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Universidade Estadual de Ciências da Saúde de AlagoasUniversidade de São PauloUniversidade Federal de AlagoasUniversidade Federal de SergipeUNIFESPSciEL

Myofibroma of the oral cavity. A rare spindle cell neoplasm

Myofibroma is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm rarely found in oral cavity. Typically, this lesion is seen in neonates and infants with few cases reported in adults patients. In the oral cavity, myofibroma occurs within the submucosal or intramuscular tissue and has a predilection by the tongue, buccal mucosa and lips. Microscopically, a typical biphasic pattern can be observed. Misdiagnosis included benign and malignant spindle cell lesions of nerve tissue or smooth muscle origin, such as neurofibroma, leiomyoma and sarcomas. Thus, immunohistochemical staining is a useful tool to identify the nature of neoplastic cells and to reach an accurate diagnosis. An immunohistochemical panel consisting of antibodies to vimentin, SMA, HHF-35, S-100p and desmin must be achieved. In most cases, positivity for vimentin, SMA and HHF-25 can be observed. Our report describes a solitary myofibroma of the tongue of a 23-year-old man with emphasis in clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of this lesion

Ventricular mass and electrocardiographic criteria of hypertrophy: evaluation of new score

BACKGROUND: The left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important and independent cardiovascular risk factor. There is a scarcity of studies in Brazil designed to test the efficacy of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in the diagnosis of this important pathological process. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a new electrocardiographic score for the diagnosis of LVH by ECG: the sum of the highest amplitude of the S wave and the highest amplitude of the R wave on the horizontal plane, multiplied by the result of the QRS duration [(S+R) X QRS)] and comparing it with the classic electrocardiographic criteria. METHODS: The echocardiograms and ECG of 1,204 hypertensive patients receiving outpatient care were evaluated. The left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was assessed by the echocardiogram, with a diagnosis of LVH when the LVMI was > 96 g/m² for women and > 116 g/m² for men. Four classic criteria of LVH were analyzed at the ECG, in addition to the new score to be tested. RESULTS: In general, the studied ECG-LVH criteria showed significant statistical correlation to the echocardiographic LVMI. The (R+S) X QRS index, using 2.80 mm.s as the cutoff value, provided test accuracy regarding sensibility and specificity of 35.2% and 88.71%, respectively, representing the best correlation to LVMI (r=0.564) when compared to the other indexes: Romhilt-Estes (r=0.464); Sokolow-Lyon (r=0.419); Cornell voltage (r=0.377); Cornell product r=0.444). CONCLUSION: All the electrocardiographic criteria used for the assessment of the LV mass presented low sensitivity. The new score presented the best correlation with LVMI when compared to the other indexes.FUNDAMENTO: A hipertrofia ventricular esquerda (HVE) é um importante e independente fator de risco cardiovascular. Inexistem, no Brasil, estudos desenhados para testar a eficácia do eletrocardiograma (ECG) no diagnóstico desse grave processo patológico. OBJETIVO: Avaliar um novo escore eletrocardiográfico para diagnóstico de HVE pelo ECG: soma da maior amplitude da onda S com a maior da onda R no plano horizontal, multiplicando-se o resultado pela duração do QRS [(S+R) X QRS)] e comparando-o com os critérios eletrocardiográficos clássicos. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados os ecocardiogramas e ECG de 1.204 pacientes hipertensos em tratamento ambulatorial. Avaliou-se o índice de massa do ventrículo esquerdo (IMVE) pelo ecocardiograma, firmando-se o diagnóstico de HVE quando > 96 g/m² para mulheres e > 116 g/m² para homens. No ECG analisaram-se quatro critérios clássicos de HVE, além do novo escore a ser testado. RESULTADOS: Todos os índices estudados tiveram correlação estatisticamente significativa com a massa calculada do ventrículo esquerdo (VE). Porém, o novo escore foi o que apresentou maior correlação (r = 0,564). Os outros critérios apresentaram as seguintes correlações: Romhilt-Estes (r = 0,464); Sokolow-Lyon (r = 0,419); Cornell voltagem (r = 0,377); Cornell duração (r = 0,444). Para avaliação da acurácia do índice testado, utilizou-se o ponto de corte de 2,80 mm.s. Com esse valor foram obtidas as seguintes cifras para sensibilidade e especificidade: 35,2% e 88,7%, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: Todos os critérios eletrocardiográficos para avaliação da massa do VE apresentaram baixa sensibilidade. O novo escore foi o que apresentou melhor correlação com o IMVE em relação aos outros avaliados.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Escola Paulista de MedicinaUNIFESP, EPMSciEL

Quality of work life: an analysis in a commercial steel organization in the state of Ceará

This study aims to investigate the perception of Quality of Work Life (QWL) of workers in a steel commercial organization with 3 branches in the state of Ceará, in the cities of Fortaleza, Sobral and Juazeiro do Norte, based on the model of Richard Walton (1973). The study presents the evolution of the concepts of Quality of Work Life, the main models of QWL and metrics of other studies addressing the same theme. For that, the exploratory, qualitative, descriptive method was applied, and the questionnaire was used as the medium for data collection. The results indicate that the criterion of growth opportunities did not present the same significant result as the other evaluated criteria. On the other hand, the criterion of social relevance of work was highlighted, showing that even with some other difficulties identified, the workers are proud to belong to this company. It is estimated that this research can serve to make decisions and assist managers and human resources policies, directing greater efforts to quality of work life and power that it can exercise within the institution.This study aims to investigate the perception of Quality of Work Life (QWL) of workers in a steel commercial organization with 3 branches in the state of Ceará, in the cities of Fortaleza, Sobral and Juazeiro do Norte, based on the model of Richard Walton (1973).
