A propósito do centenário de Hitchcock em 1999

Hitchcock nasceu em Agosto de 1899, tinha o próprio cinematógrafo quatro anos, e aos nove anos de idade pode ver os primeiros Griffth e aos quinze os primeiros Chaplins, podendo aos vinte e sete realizar os seus primeiros filmes (mudos) e, logo um ano depois, "The Lodger" – "o primeiro verdadeiro Hitchcock", Hitchcock "dixit". Mais um ano passado, foi "Blackmail", primeiro filme sonoro, ou meio sonoro. Desde então foram várias dezenas, em Inglaterra e, logo desde 1940, em Hollywood, depois de "The Lady vanishes" e de "Jamaica Inn", "Rebecca" com Laurence Olivier, como pareceu acertado ao argumento adaptado, britânico de nascença

Sistema para reportar problemas e sugestões na estrutura física de um campus universitário

TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Tecnológico. Sistemas de Informação.As universidades estão em constante processo de manutenção e melhoria de sua estrutura física a fim de proporcionar a toda comunidade acadêmica um ambiente que apoie o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão. Desta forma, visando fomentar um processo colaborativo entre os membros das comunidades com suas instituições, este trabalho implementa um sistema que ajude os membros da comunidade acadêmica a reportarem problemas de infra-estrutura e a fazerem sugestões de melhorias sobre estrutura física de um campus universitário. Para este trabalho utilizou-se o contexto do Campus Reitor João David Ferreira Lima da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, por meio de um sistema web para receber os pedidos de manutenções. O software em questão visa diminuir a distância na comunicação entre os membros da comunidade universitária e a instituição, possibilitando à universidade identificar as áreas que necessitam mais atenção através da interação dos usuários atestando a existência das demandas. E possibilitando à comunidade acadêmica ter conhecimento se a Universidade está trabalhando em uma solicitação ou se ela já foi resolvida.Universities are in a constant process of maintenance and improvement of their physical structure in order to provide the entire academic community with an environment that supports teaching, research and extension.

For this work, the context of the Campus Reitor João David Ferreira Lima of the Federal University of Santa Catarina was used, through a web system to receive maintenance requests. The software in question aims to reduce the distance in communication between the members of the university community and the institution, allowing the university to identify the areas that need more attention through the interaction of users, attesting to the existence of demands. And allowing the academic community to know if the University is working on a request or if it has already been resolved

Validade da Psychological Well-Being Scale com Obesidade Mórbida Feminina

Psychological well-being is an important indicator of psychological adjustment. Obesity is considered a progressive disease that results in serious public health problems. This investigation sought validity evidence for the Psychological Well-Being Scale in 293 morbidly obese Brazilian women, aged between 18 and 61 years, who were awaiting bariatric surgery. The scores were submitted to Confirmatory Factor Analysis and several theoretical models were tested. According to the results, an oblique six-dimensional structure presented a good fit to the empirical data. Acceptable indices of internal consistency for the measurement factors were also obtained. The scale may contribute to the development of programs aimed at improving the psychological well-being of people with morbid obesity, before and after bariatric surgery.O bem-estar psicológico é um importante indicador de ajustamento psicológico. A obesidade é considerada uma doença progressiva, que resulta em sérios problemas de saúde pública. Esta pesquisa buscou evidências de validade para a Psychological Well-Being Scale, com 293 mulheres brasileiras com obesidade mórbida, de 18 a 61 anos de idade, que aguardavam a cirurgia bariátrica. Os escores brutos foram submetidos à Análise Fatorial Confirmatória e vários modelos teóricos foram testados. Nos resultados, uma estrutura de seis dimensões oblíquas apresentou bom ajuste aos dados empíricos. Também foram obtidos índices aceitáveis de consistência interna para os fatores da medida. A escala poderá contribuir para programas que visem melhorar o bem-estar psicológico de pessoas com obesidade mórbida, antes e depois da cirurgia bariátrica

Evaluation of the Rio de Janeiro State Flood Warning System: A Case Study for the Hydrographic Region of the Médio Paraíba do Sul (RJ), Brazil

This work is a case study for the Hydrographic Region of the Médio Paraíba do Sul located in the State of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), which has natural disasters, such as floods, as the most recurrent. Due to the social, economic and environmental impacts that these disasters cause, this research aim to analyze the history of alerts issued by the Flood Warning System (FWS) and to assess its efficiency. Through the retro-analysis of Alert Trigger Events (ATE) that occurred in the monitored rivers, investigations were also carried out in the hydrological and meteorological scope. The results identified that  the Attention stage belonging to the operational protocol significantly reduces the efficiency of the FWS about sending alerts, causing high false alarm rate. Regarding the influence that variation in the type of data transmission has on the Operational Protocol in RH-III, it is considered that the time interval between data transmission and their availability on the State Environmental Institute (SEI) erver generates a false alarm, however the FWS is still efficient. Barra Mansa River is the only one that has flood events, which raises questions about the representativeness of the other stations spread across RH-III. In addition, 60% of alerts issued for RH-III were related to episodes of Cold Fronts and South Atlantic Convergence Zones. These information helps improve the description of the flood events in the region. Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) identified periods that the rainfall rate was below the climatological average, indicating a drier  environment, but with alerts issued

Joaquim Rodrigo’s Painting : A Particularity in the Portuguese Case

Capítulo da obra "RETHINKING EUROPE: ARTISTIC PRODUCTION AND DISCOURSES OF ART IN THE LATE 1940S AND 1950S.", que resultou da conferência ocorrida em 2018.In the postwar period, Portuguese art faced a politically-imposed isolation that prevented emerging artists from engaging and interacting with the rest of Europe. For these artisits, other geographical, cultural contexts were no more than remote possibilities of exchange: sometimes mythical places of an avant-garde known through magazine articles, sometimes places they had briefly visited in search of a more direct link with their time. Portugal lived in an established dictatorship known as Estado Novo (New State) that lasted until 1974. The regime's anti-modernism sought to eliminate all modern artistic practices in an attempt to preserve its traditional cultural values, strongly dominated by the government's fascist ideology. The absence of structures for the production, exhibition, and reception of modern art during the twentieth century contributed towards the lessening of modern pratices in the national context, hindering the development of knowledge updated by artists, critics, and audiences. In spite of these setbacks, overall Portuguese artists succeded in overcoming this aloofness to which the regime condemned them. Over time, these artists managed to find ways to a distant modernity - which had become predominant in the process of reconstructing a new world in the postwar period in Wetern Europe.
