A collection of italian sculpture, from the second half of the 19th century, at the Museu do Palácio Nacional da Ajuda

ABSTRACT: The nineteenth century was a century of resurgence of a classical art with Greek and Roman origins. The fact that an area such as archeology has begun the excavaons of the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy reveals a set of works of art and ways of life from a period prior to the Jewish and Catholic period of a Europe of the Century XIX. Several quesons arise at the level of neoclassical thought of this period. Thus, we see the emergence of works of art inspired by classical themes of Greek mythology and whose representaons of this period include myths such as Leda, the Muse Inspiring, the Musidora, the myth of Andromeda, among others. In this context we developed an invesgaon and found 17 sculptural pieces of Italian origin that arrived in Lisbon by boat from various Italian arsts of this period. These pieces originated mainly from the order of the queen of Portugal D. Maria Pia de Sabóia, daughter of King Vitor Emanuel II of Italy, during the second half of the nineteenth century. Taking into account the process of ordering, moving, traveling and used material, the marble of Carraca, as well as the themes represented, it was possible to develop a research process of this museological nucleus and to present ways of life of these artists, inspirations, techniques and ways of carving during this historical period, as well as payment procedures and also the costs of the works acquired by the Portuguese crown during the second half of the nineteenth century. This collection is currently at the Museum of Ajuda National Palace and was the subject of an investigation and systematization of its artistic and historical importance in Portugal.Resumo : O Século XIX foi um século de ressurgimento de uma arte clássica com origens gregas e romanas. O facto de uma área como a arqueologia, ter dado início às escavações da anga cidade de Pompeia, em Itália, vem revelar um conjunto de obras de arte e modos de vida de um período anterior ao período judaico e católico, de uma Europa do Século XIX. Levantam-se então várias questões ao nível do pensamento neoclássico deste período. Assim, assismos ao surgimento de obras de arte com inspiração em temas clássicos da mitologia grega e cujas representações deste período se incluem mitos como a Leda, a Musa Inspiradora, a Bacante, a Sapho, o mito de Andrómeda, entre outros. Desenvolvemos neste contexto uma investigação e encontraram-se 17 peças escultóricas de origem italiana e que chegaram a Lisboa de barco, provenientes de vários artistas italianos deste período. Estas peças tiveram origem sobretudo a partir da encomenda da rainha de Portugal D. Maria Pia de Sabóia, filha do rei Vitor Emanuel II de Itália, durante a segunda metade do século XIX. Tendo em conta o processo de encomenda, deslocação, viagem e material usado, o mármore de Carraca, bem como as temáticas representadas, foi possível desenvolver um processo de invesgação deste núcleo museológico e dar a conhecer modos de vida destes arstas, inspirações, técnicas e modos de esculpir durante este período histórico, bem como procedimentos de pagamentos e ainda os custos das obras adquiridas pela coroa portuguesa, durante a segunda metade do século XIX. Este espólio encontra-se actualmente patente no Museu do Palácio Nacional da Ajuda e foi alvo de uma investigação e sistematização da sua importância artistica e histórica em Portugal.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Impacto de um programa de Reabilitação Respiratória nos autocuidados higiene, vestir-se/despir-se e andar avaliados pela escala london chest of daily living em pessoas com doença respiratória crónica

Patients with chronic respiratory disease (CRD) have impaired respiratory process, with a high impact on self-care, namely caused by dyspnoea and fatigue due to immobility induced by the disease. The relevance of this study is to know the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation programs (PRP) on self-care hygiene, dressing / undressing and walking. This is a quasi-experimental study that included CRD patients admitted to PRP and the impact of CRD on self-care was assessed at the beginning and at the end of the PRP. Thirty eight patients were included in the study (71.9% men), median ages 67 years (± 15.6) and FEV1% median of 39.51%. Statistical improvements (p < 0.001) and clinically significant were found in all self-care studied. The data from this study allow us to conclude that this PRP improves functional independence for the Hygiene, Dressing / Undressing and Walking self-care evaluated by the London Chest Activity Scale of Daily Living in CRD patients.Las personas con enfermedad respiratoria crónica (ERC) presentan compromisos del proceso respiratorio, con impacto elevado en el autocuidado, en particular debido a disnea y fatiga debido a la inmovilidad inducida por la enfermedad.

Competências de avaliação participativa.

Objective. On this paper we discuss the competencies required for participatory evaluation processes, presenting the concept of co-evaluation (originated in the Evaluation Research area) and its emerging role in Information Science and Open Science. Design/Methodology/Approach. Considering that the discussion about collaborative assessment practices is becoming increasingly more relevant, a meta-evaluation perspective is adopted, contextualizing the pertinence and trajectory of the emerging concept of co-evaluation and giving special emphasis to the development contexts and transferability of competences, which are necessary for the their implementation. Results/Discusion. The results of the research carried out highlight the role of co-evaluation competences grouped into six dimensions: reflexive practice, technical-based practice, situational analysis, management, interorganizational competences and interpersonal competences. Conclusions. It is concluded that the wide experience of Information Science in evaluation practices may be a distinctive factor for the discussion around these competences. Originality/Value. The article presents an innovative approach that, by capitalizing on the contribution of Information Science, proposes a framework of co-evaluation competences, highlighting the transferability of competencies between evaluators and stakeholders in several contexts

Sustainability Metrics in Library and Information Services: A Quality Management Framework

This paper discusses the role of sustainability metrics in quality management in Library and Information Services (LIS), contributing to the ongoing debate by developing an integrated framework that offers an opportunity to measure sustainability value, influence and meaning of information services, and providing an illustrative example of LIS professionals and students discussion in Portugal. LIS assessment experience can strongly contribute to the debate around culture and development and, therefore, global sustainability. But in order to have its expertise externally recognize, the library and information community needs to integrate the sustainability perspective into the LIS performance evaluation research and practice, using new tools and outlining a meta-management assessment strategy

Models and Strategies for Information Management: Convergence of Impacts

The current discussion around models and strategies for information management in the era of digital transition point to two dynamics, which follow the lifestyles, consumer habits and information behaviour of citizens: diversity of services and content, on one side; and convergence not only in media, but also in management modes, on the other. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of convergent information management models, strategies and impacts in Library, Archives and other Information Services (LAIS), in academic and practical/professional environments in Portugal. Three management areas - e-skills, e-consumption and sustainability – are discussed, providing details and a basis for the convergence analysis. Using two dimensions - the operationalization of strategy and the approach to group development of LAIS skills -the usage of convergent information management models and strategies in LAIS is then examined through three cases / examples. The first model / strategy identified provides an example of assessment and it is widely explained: (1) Co-creation workshops on Building a sustainability assessment framework: this interdisciplinary experience with students of Information and Documentation master courses in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (FCSH/UNL) (December 2013-February 2014) and students of the Archives Post-graduation course at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias (July 2014), led to the (co)definition of a conceptual framework for assessing the sustainability and impacts of LAIS as cultural organizations. Two other examples of information management models and strategies complemented this approach to convergence: (2) CIG’s Information and Documentation Centre (IDC) integrated the information management model (October 2013): the development of a new management model for the Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality (CIG)’s LAIS was anchored on the implementation of a modern Library Management System, which boosted the creation/improvement and integration under the conceptual umbrella of a holistic new brand – IDC - of other information areas, like publishing inventory management, 3 ATINER CONFERENCE PAPER SERIES No: LIB2015-1812 archives and records management, digitalization of CIG’s historical archive and digitalization of special collections. (3) Information Management and Curation Post-graduation and Master courses: creation of a graduate (and Master) degree in Information Management and Curation (FCSH/UNL), proposing a model for studies in which information management assumes a prominent transverse position and developing an integrated model of skills enabling simultaneously managing diversity and the hybrid culture of services convergence needs of the information market (June 2014). When taking an overarching approach to the study of these models and strategies, attention should be paid to new operating models impacts and needed management skills, focusing on thinking strategies in the cultural and creative industries and considering culture as the fourth pillar of sustainable development. This focus opens new horizons for action by allowing the creation of new performance indicators, unifying the area of culture, aggregating data from libraries, archives, museums and other information services and, thereby, allowing an integrated strategic vision of the results and impacts. In the near future, management of integrated impacts seems to be the next step of the differentiation of quality

Efeito da Reabilitação Respiratória nos sintomas avaliado pelo CAT e a sua relação com a tolerância à atividade

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disease characterized by progressive airflow limitation, causing important functional impairment with repercussions on self-care. Previously characterized only by dyspnea, it is now recognized that a more comprehensive assessment is needed leading GOLD to recommend the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is the non-pharmacological treatment recommended in this context, and for that reason the goal of this investigation is to understand its effect on CAT as well as its relation with CF. Quasi-Experimental study that includes COPD patients admitted to PR and the impact of CAT and CF was assessed at the beginning and at the end of the PR program.Forty five patients were included (80% men), mean age 65.82 years and mean FEV1% of 40%. Statistical and clinically significant improvements were found (p &lt; 0.001) in both CAT and CF, with a moderate negative correlation. We conclude that this PR program reduces symptoms and increases functional capacity in people with COPD.La Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica (EPOC) se caracteriza por una limitación crónica, progresiva y no totalmente reversible del flujo aéreo, provocando limitaciones funcionales importantes repercutidas en el autocuidado.Anteriormente caracterizada únicamente por la disnea se reconoce actualmente la necesidad de una evaluación más amplia de los síntomas y se recomienda entre otros el uso del COPD Assessment Test (CAT).La Rehabilitación Respiratoria (RR) es el tratamiento no farmacológico recomendado en este contexto, la meta de este estudo es saber cuál es su efecto en el CAT y su relación con la CF.Estudio Quasi-Experimental con programa de Rehabilitación Respiratoria (PRR) de duración mediana de 13 semanas, 3X semana siendo su efecto en el CAT y en la CF evaluados al inicio y al final.Se incluyeron a 45 personas: 80% hombres; edad media 65,82 años y FEV1% medio de 40%.Se observó una mejora estadística (p &lt; 0,001) y clínicamente significativas en el CAT y en la CF existiendo una correlación negativa moderada.Concluimos que este programa de RR redujo la sintomatología y aumentó la capacidad funcional en personas con EPOC.A Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crónica (DPOC) caracteriza-se por limitação crónica, progressiva e não totalmente reversível do fluxo aéreo, limitando por vezes o autocuidado. Anteriormente caracterizada pela dispneia, reconhece-se atualmente a necessidade de uma avaliação sintomática mais abrangente recomendando-se entre outros instrumentos o COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Sendo a Reabilitação Respiratória (RR) o tratamento não farmacológico recomendado neste contexto é objetivo deste estudo perceber qual o seu efeito no CAT e sua relação com a capacidade funcional (CF). Estudo Quasi-Experimental com programa de Reabilitação Respiratória (PRR) de duração mediana de 13 semanas sendo o efeito no CAT e na CF avaliados no início e no final. Incluidas 45 pessoas: 80% homens; idade media 65,82 anos e FEV1% medio 40%. Verificou-se melhoria estatística e clinicamente significativas no CAT e na CF existindo entre as duas uma correlação negativa moderada. Concluímos que este PRR reduziu a sintomatologia e aumentou a capacidade funcional em pessoas com DPOC

A provocação dos sentidos no cartaz de divulgação da arte contemporânea em Portugal

O presente artigo dedica-se ao estudo da importância estética da imagem e sua análise cognitiva. A partir de um objecto de comunicação - o cartaz - criado para divulgar a arte contemporânea em Portugal, pretendemos abordar a área da criação e a sua relação com os sentidos. No presente estudo foca-se um conceito emergente na área do design de comunicação, o design emocional. Tratámos de nos focar neste conceito e a partir dele seleccionar um conjunto de objectos de estudo cuja missão é divulgar a produção artística em exposições no nosso país; assim foram eleitas duas instituições que promovem uma cultura visual e a projectam nos seus locais expositivos, a Fundação de Serralves e a Fundação Culturgest. Tendo como base a leitura do objecto partimos para o observador enquanto objecto de estudo, ou seja o indivíduo enquanto criador e receptor da mensagem, deste modo analisamos a reacção e o comportamento dos indivíduos à presença deste tipo de cartazes, cuja função será provocar o olhar e os sentidos, de modo a contribuir para uma aquisição e evolução do conhecimento visual
