Gestão da informação e tecnologias: diretrizes para projetos da interface de museus virtuais no âmbito da autenticidade

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the creation of guidelines for virtual museum interface projects regarding their authenticity. Through the deductive method, when working with theories about the authentic, we analyzed a virtual museum site model (Era Virtual) to create authenticity assessment indicators for virtual musem sites. After theoretical and practical analyses, a pilot questionnaire was designed to validate, through the response of the public, the indicators we developed and to develop others, if necessary. Then, we defined our sample, the final questionnaires were applied, the results obtained were analyzed, and the guidelines for virtual museum interface were set out. We found that authenticity is a dynamic concept that concerns both issues verifiable through the subject matter of a digital object and non-material issues that emerge from the relationship between a person and that object. The sample surveyed believed that virtual museums were authentic mainly for their informative value.O objetivo deste estudo é contribuir na criação de diretrizes para projetos da interface de museus virtuais no que tange à sua autenticidade. Por meio do método dedutivo, ao trabalharmos com a teoria sobre o autêntico, analisou-se um modelo de site de museus virtuais para criar indicadores de avaliação de autenticidade dentro desses. Após as análises teórica e prática elaborou-se um questionário piloto visando validar os indicadores criados e, caso necessário, a elaboração de outros novos mediante a resposta do público. Em seguida, foi definida a amostra da pesquisa, aplicados os questionários finais, analisado os resultados obtidos e, então, criadas as diretrizes para a interface dos museus virtuais. Identifica-se que a autenticidade é um conceito dinâmico que diz respeito tanto a questões verificáveis através da matéria de um objeto digital, quanto a questões não materiais que emergem da relação entre o homem e esse objeto. A amostra pesquisada acredita que os museus virtuais são autênticos principalmente pelo seu valor informativo

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and100 m (76%). Rodentia (n=31,573) has the highest number of records followedby Chiroptera (n=18,857), Carnivora (n=18,594), Lagomorpha (n=17,496),Cetartiodactyla (n=11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n=7008). The data setincludes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened(e.g.,Oryctolagus cuniculus[n=12,159],Monachus monachus[n=1,512],andLynx pardinus[n=197]).

Mammals in Portugal: a data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in Portugal

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is crucial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublished georeferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mammals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira that includes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occurring in 2000 and 2021).

Foram analisadas 58 amostras de sedimento da superfície de fundo do estuário e 60 do manguezal da Baía de Guaratuba, localizada no litoral sul do Estado do Paraná. As amostras do estuário permitiram a discriminação de quatro subambientes pela análise sedimentológica e cinco subambientes baseados na análise microfaunística (foraminíferos e tecamebas). A distribuição das assembléias microfaunísticas (composta basicamente por especimes aglutinantes), em conjunto com as fácies sedimentares definidas, demonstram estar este ambiente em processo de intensa sedimentação. Extensos depósitos de planície arenosa intermaré e inframaré, aqui encontrados, podem caracterizar a última fase dentro de uma seqüência regressiva. A amostragem no manguezal permitiu reconhecer três biofácies, demonstrando haver uma correlação vertical entre os tipos de vegetação, a altitude e a microfauna analisada. A distribuição descrita para o alto manguezal pode seguramente permitir a reconstituição de antigos níveis marinhos com erro aproximado de \'+ ou -\' 12 cm.58 surface bottom sediment samples of the estuary and 60 mangrove sediment samples were collected from the Guaratuba estuary, located on the southern coastline of the Paraná State, southern Brazil, aprox. area: 170 km². From a sedimentological point of view, the 58 estuary samples define four different environment types, while five different zones were defined from microfaunistic analysis (foraminifera and the camoebians). The distribution of microfauna assemblages - basically agglutinated foraminifera, when considered with the defined sedimentary facies, show intense deposition (0.6 - 1.6 cm/year). These processes are mainly characterized by wide sub - and intertidal sheet sand deposits, seemingly the last phase of a regressive sequence. The mangrove sampling distinguishes a sequence of 3 biofacies, emphasizing a vertical correlation of vegetation, altitude and microfauna. The described distribution for high mangroves can safely place former sea levels with a \'+ ou -\' 12 cm accuracy

Hemodynamic changes after transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS) coupled with cognitive training on chocolate craving

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em PsicologiaCraving por comida é uma extrema vontade de consumir um alimento específico, o que torna imperativo a sua compreensão e a obtenção de meios que possibilitem a criação de hábitos mais saudáveis. A Estimulação transcraniana por corrente continua (ETCC) tem por objetivo modular o comportamento humano e, quando combinada de forma assertiva, pode ter um impacto positivo no craving. No entanto, torna-se importante perceber qual o correlato cerebral por trás deste processo, sendo vital combinar com técnicas de Neuroimagem, como NIRS (Nearinfrared spectroscopy), um método não-invasivo de avaliação das alterações corticais. O método utlizado foi a aplicação de ETCC na zona CPFDL, durante 20 minutos com a intensidade de 2mA numa amostra de 24 voluntários. Realizando uma coleta de NIRS pré e pós intervenção para verificar as alterações hemodinâmicas. Verificou-se uma diminuição global da concentração de oxihemoglobina, para todas as condições após a intervenção. Este protocolo deve ser replicado com uma amostra mais alargada, que permita verificar as interferências das alterações hemodinâmicas nas diferentes condições de estimulação.Craving for food is an extreme desire to eat a specific kind of food, which makes it imperative to understand this condition, with the purpose of obtaining means to create healthier habits. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is modulation behavior which, when combined assertively, can have a positive impact on reducing the craving. However, it becomes important to realize what brain correlation is behind this process, so a vital match is using Neuroimaging techniques such as NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy), a noninvasive assessment of cortical changes. We use 24 subjects to receive one session of the tDCS over DLPFC area for 20 min., at the current strength of 2 mA, using NIRS to verify the hemodynamic changes before and after stimulation. The data analysis showed an overall decrease in the concentration of HbO, for all conditions, after the intervention. This protocol should be replicated with a larger sample in order to verify the interference of the hemodynamic changes in the different stimulation conditions
