A Theoretical Contribution To Improve The Formation In The Historical Lisbon School Of Architecture - The Forgotten Dimension of the Technological Perspective

This article approaches the problem of the absence of the technology in the didactics of the Architecture´s Design, in the course of School of Architecture of Lisbon, as the subtitle of the article suggests - the forgotten dimension of the technological perspective.Despite of the course contemplates a relevant technological component, however, does not reflect, much less exponent the creative act of the Project. This is first of all a result of the organization, didactics and contents of the Project classes, and not so much, a lack of knowledge provided to the student in the technological disciplines, which are present in quantity in the curricular structure. The situation, analyzed in this article, is a consequence of a blocking of the Project classes to the technology ones, which do not promote, nor allow, the necessary transdisciplinary articulation and integration between the act of designing and the application of technological knowledge, which is fundamental and intrinsic to the act of thinking and conceiving Architecture.The CAD / CAE / CAM digital tools have not only highlighted the fragility of this didactic process in the didactic context of the current teaching, but, in view of the potential of its operative process, impose the future reformulation of the Project's cognitive practice, integrating the component technology in the Design Methodology of the architect's teaching and praxisN/

ANXA11 association with Sarcoidosis susceptibility: a meta-analysis of non-family-based studies

ORAL SESSIONS - Best AbstractsSarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by the formation of noncaseating granulomas, predominantly in the lungs and lymph nodes. The sarcoidosis association with the ANXA11 rs1049550 SNP has been previously reported in case–control studies. We carried out this meta-analysis in order to collect all the relevant studies to further clarify the association of ANXA11 SNP rs1049550 C/T (R230C variant) polymorphism with Sarcoidosis susceptibility. Relevant published data were retrieved through Medline, PubMed andWeb of Science pertaining to Sarcoidosis and ANXA polymorphisms. Odds ratios (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the strength of the association. Z test was used to determine the significance of the pooled OR. Statistical heterogeneity was measured using the Q statistic. The effect of heterogeneity was quantified using the I2-statistic. Visual inspection of asymmetry in funnel plots was conducted. Begg’s rank correlation method and Egger weighted regression method were also used to statistically assess the publication bias. Statistical analyses were performed with STATA12.0 software. A total of 6 studies, including 3297 sarcoidosis cases and 3346 healthy controls, were collected in this meta-analysis. For T vs. C, no heterogeneity (Q=4.79, p=0.44, I2=0.0%) was observed among individual estimates, and original data were combined using the fixed-effects model. For the total population, we found that ANXA11 T allele was less common in the Sarcoidosis group than in the control group and we obtained an effect summary OR=0.69, with a 95 % CI=0.64-0.74, and p<0.001, which shows a protective association of SNP rs1049550 T allele to sarcoidosis. Our comprehensive meta-analysis indicated that there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate a conclusive association between the ANXA11 SNP rs1049550 and sarcoidosis susceptibility

P-1186 - The recovery process of persons living with psychiatric disabilities: values and principles of nova aurora community association psychosocial rehabilitation program

The Nova Aurora Community Association psychosocial rehabilitation program was developed based in the most current values of Psychosocial Rehabilitation. Some nuclear assumptions were considered, such as a) suppressing the disease stigma, b) defocusing from the mental ill role, promoting empowerment and self-determination, c) developing personal competencies directly related to the individuals’ social integration specific context (readiness, cognitive, social, emotional stress management, employability).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Context-based multi-agent recommender system, supported on IoT, for guiding the occupants of a building in case of a fire

The evacuation of buildings in case of fire is a sensitive issue for civil society that also motivates the academic community to develop and study solutions to improve the efficiency of evacuating these spaces. The study of human behavior in fire emergencies has been one of the areas that have deserved the attention of researchers. However, this modeling of human behavior is difficult and complex because it depends on factors that are difficult to know and that vary from country to country. In this paper, a paradigm shift is proposed which, instead of focusing on modeling the behavior of occupants, focuses on conditioning this behavior by providing real-time information on the most efficient evacuation routes. Making this information available to occupants is possible with a solution that takes advantage of the growing use of the IoT (Internet of Things) in buildings to help occupants adapt to the environment. Supported by the IoT, multi-agent recommender systems can help users to adapt to the environment and provide the occupants with the most efficient evacuation routes. This paradigm shift is achieved through a context-based multi-agent recommender system based on contextual data obtained from IoT devices, which recommends the most efficient evacuation routes at any given time. The obtained results suggest that the proposed solution can improve the efficiency of evacuating buildings in the event of a fire; for a scenario with two hundred people following the system recommendations, the time they take to reach a safe place decreases by 17.7%.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

An ontological model for fire evacuation route recommendation in buildings

Guiding the occupants of a building to a safe place is an area of research that deserves the attention of researchers. Finding solutions for the problem of guiding the building occupants requires a perfect knowledge of the fire building evacuation domain. The use of ontologies to model the knowledge of a domain allows a common and shared understanding of that domain. This paper presents an ontology that has the purpose to deepen the understanding of that domain and help develop building evacuation solutions and systems capable of guiding the occupants during a building evacuation process. The proposed ontology considers the different variables and actors involved in the fire building evacuation process. The ontology development followed the Methontology methodology, and for implementation, the Protégé tool was used. The ontological model was successfully submitted to a thorough evaluation process and is publicly available on the Web.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A flow system with in-line blank correction applied to the spectrophotometric determination of total iron and chromium (VI) in wastewaters

A flow system using the sample as the carrier with a propulsion device located after the detector is presented. This approach allows the correction of the intrinsic color of the sample, as it provides baseline adjustment for each sample. A confluence situated just after the selection valve allows the sample composition to be adjusted for the colorimetric measurement. The developed methodology was applied to the colorimetric determination of total Fe and Cr (VI) in wastewaters at 0.1–6.0 mg L–1 and 0.03–1.0 mg L–1, respectively. RSDs lower than 3% and a sampling rate of approximately 40 h–1 were obtaine

An ontology for fire building evacuation

Guiding the building occupants under fire emergency to a safe place is an open research problem, and finding solutions to address the problem requires a perfect knowledge of the fire building evacuation domain. The use of ontologies to model knowledge of a domain allows a common and shared understanding of that domain, between people and heterogeneous systems. This paper presents an ontology that aims to build a knowledge model to understand the referred domain better and help develop more capable building evacuation solutions and systems. The herein proposed ontology considers the different variables and actors involved in the fire building evacuation process. We followed the Methontology methodology for its developing, and we present all the development steps, from the specification to its implementation with the Protégé tool.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
