La proyección de la locura en El hombre perdido, de Ramón Gómez de la Serna. Conexiones con el Quijote (revelaciones inéditas)

En este ensayo se estudiará el tema de la locura en El hombre perdido, tal como queda de manifiesto desde varios puntos de vista en la novela, publicada en pleno desarrollo y consolidación del existencialismo. La locura es parte íntegra y obsesiva de la psicología del protagonista y de numerosos personajes, cuya manifestación aparece a menudo en forma de «proyección», utilizando el término acuñado por Freud. Se entablarán conexiones evidentes con el Quijote, ficción que el mismo Gómez de la Serna tenía presente cuando escribió El hombre perdido, por lo que se estudiarán paralelismos concluyentes en torno a la presencia de la locura y otros aspectos entre ambos textos. Por último, se transcribirán los comentarios que aluden a la locura en los manuscritos inéditos de Gómez de la Serna, que se encuentran en la Biblioteca Hillman, de la Universidad de Pittsburgh, que evidencian el interés, defensa y preocupación que el autor demuestra por dicho tema.

Sleep quality and stress levels among higher education students

A good night sleep enables to achieve physical and mental wellbeing (Paiva, 2015). The preservation of sleep quality is paramount as who sleeps well has a high adaptation capacity to adverse circumstances such as stress and anxiety, amongst others. There is an impacting relationship between reduced sleeping hours and high levels of anxiety, depression and stress (Pinto et al., 2012). Measure the sleep quality and stress levels amongst higher education students.Quantitative study with a descriptive-correlational and transversal design. A socio-demographic record, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) from Ramalho (2008) and the Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale (EADS-21) from Ribeiro, Honrado and Leal (2004) were applied. The sample included 358 students. 54% of the students present a bad sleep quality, go to bed on average at 1am, take about 19 minutes to fall asleep and sleep on average 7 hours effectively. Female students have a 48% higher probability of having bad sleep quality. Stress, anxiety and depression levels were considered disperse with stress presenting the higher average. The majority of the students that refer having a bad sleep quality present an average score of 6.57 on the stress scale being approximately double of the students that refer having a good sleep quality (3.35). Stress, anxiety and depression are positively and with statistic signiicance correlated to the sleep quality index where a higher score means worse sleep quality.

Sono e estilos de vida nos jovens do ensino superior

Este estudo aborda a qualidade do sono dos estudantes do ensino superior e a sua relação com os estilos de vida adotados. Avaliar a qualidade do sono dos estudantes do ensino superior; Conhecer a relação entre a qualidade do sono e a prática de exercício físico; Compreender a relação entre a qualidade do sono e o consumo de substâncias. Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, correlacional e transversal. Amostra de 358 estudantes do IPB. Instrumento: Ficha Sociodemográfica e o Índice de Qualidade de Sono de Pittsburgh (IQSP). Evidenciou‐se que 54% (192) dos estudantes apresenta má qualidade de sono e os restantes 46% (166) tem boa qualidade de sono. A relação entre qualidade de sono e a prática de exercício físico é estatisticamente significativa, constata‐se que um estudante que não pratique exercício físico tem cerca de 1,655 de probabilidade de ter má qualidade de sono face um estudante que pratique exercício físico. Relativamente à relação da qualidade do sono e o consumo de substâncias esta não foi estatisticamente significativa. Relativamente à qualidade do sono nos estudantes os resultados vão de encontro com os de diversos estudos já realizados. A prática de exercício físico proporciona qualidade de sono, enquanto que, o sedentarismo acaba por ser um fator preditor de alterações no sono. O consumo de substâncias não tem interferência na qualidade do sono. Deveriam existir programas de intervenção na comunidade jovem centrados em medidas de promoção de sono e na prática de exercício físico regular
