Projeto e Comunicação: novos modos de comunicar o projeto

Projeto e comunicação: novos modos de comunicar o projeto Na área da arquitetura, durante muito tempo, os profissionais de arquitetura recorreram aos diversos meios manuais, como maquetes, perspectivas e desenhos à mão livre nos projetos para representação e comunicação dos mesmos. Estes eram fundamentais no processo de criação e concepção e eram utilizados como ferramentas de análise, interpretação dos espaços, lugares e comunicação do projeto ao cliente. No entanto, frequentemente aparecem dificuldades de entendimento por parte dos clientes. Para compreender essas dificuldades, analisamos a relação entre as representações utilizadas nos projetos e os meios de comunicação usados pelos profissionais de arquitetura. Assim, tendo em conta a relação de profissional-cliente (pessoa comum), realizamos uma pesquisa, com recurso a entrevistas para obter informações, cujo objetivo é perceber e verificar as várias formas de comunicação em contraste com o nível de entendimento do cliente. Os entrevistados analisarão os processos de projeto de arquitetura com recurso a vários modos de representação e comunicação. Deste modo, podemos verificar as dificuldades encontradas na compreensão do projeto arquitetónico pelos clientes, em contraste com as várias vertentes utilizadas na comunicação dos modelos e das características do desenho. Para tal, foram apresentados vários métodos com as diversas características, desde texturas, representações tridimensionais, imagens foto-realistas e realidade virtual. Esta pesquisa consiste em perceber se toda esta evolução tecnológica na arquitetura veio melhorar ou não os processos de projeto em contraste com os meios manuais.In architecture, for a long time, the professionals have resorted to the various manual means such as mockups, perspectives and freehand drawings in projects for representation and communication. These were fundamental in the process of creating and conception and were used as tools for analysis, interpretation of spaces, places and project communication to the client. However, there were often difficulties in understanding by customers. So, in order to minimize them, we analyse the relationship between the representations used in the projects and the media used by architecture professionals. So, taking into account the professional- client relationship (ordinary person), we conducted a survey, through interviews to obtain information, whose purpose is to understand and verify the various communication in contrast to the customer´s level of understanding. Respondents will review architectural design process using a variety of modes of representation and communication. Then, we can verify the difficulties encountered in understanding the architectural project by customers, in contrast to the various aspects used in communication models and design features, For that, several methods have been presented with the diverse features, from textures, three-dimensional representations, photorealistic images and virtual reality. This research is to understand if all this technological evolution in architecture has improved or not the design process in contrast to the manual means

How to disappear completely: non-linearity and endogeneity in the new keynesian wage Phillips curve

We use a three-regime threshold regression model to assess the ability of the New Keynesian Wage Phillips Curve (NKWPC) to describe wage inflation in the U.S. over the 1965-2018 period. Non-linearity is clearly supported by the data and it easily resists an endogeneity correction. However, this correction exposes more clearly the shortcomings of the NKWPC as a successful description of wage dynamics in the extreme phases of the business cycles, when unemployment is either low or high. In both cases it becomes completely flat

Time of Basic Education Teachers Training in Maker Activities: A Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the competencies and skills acquired by teachers through correlation between the duration of maker training and effective implementation of its outcomes in educational settings The methods applied were based on PRISMA recommendation utilizing the PICOC method with metaanalysis conducted using the MAJOR Meta-analysis 4 1 package in the JAMOVI statistical software The results of this study indicated that the time required for the effects of teacher maker training to manifest should exceed 5 months with a confidence interval between 2 7 months and 8 4 months It is concluded that training in the maker culture remains a new and growing condition that requires greater attention in the implementation of makerspaces regarding the development of appropriate methodologies due to the challenges that arise throughout their implementation in school

METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE IN THE LATIN AMERICAN CONTEXT: RESEARCH STRATEGIES AND POTENTIALS IN POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY

The contemporary debate on participatory democracy agrees with the proposal of new political-territorial arrangements to build more virtuous relations between citizen and state. From this perspective, the article proposes to discuss metropolitan governance from the premise that new territory management strategies are fundamental for thinking about the contemporary dynamics of the urban phenomenon. We use researches already developed about Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region to analyze the proposed governance of the metropolitan region of Mexico City from the new Political Constitution promulgated in 2018. With a comparative investigation between the two cases, the article reveals the virtues and impasses existing in the new Constitution of the Mexican capital and show political and spatial characteristics that need to be taken into account to manage one of the largest urban agglomerations in the world

USE OF QUANTILE REGRESSION AND RANSAC ALGORITHM IN FITTING VOLUME EQUATIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DISCREPANT DATA

The objective of this study was to evaluate three estimation methods to fit volume equations in the presence of influential or leverage data. To do so, data from the forest inventory carried out by the Centro Tecnológico de Minas Gerais Foundation were used to fit the Schumacher and Hall (1933) model in its nonlinear form for Cerradão forest, considering the quantile regression (QR), the RANSAC algorithm and the nonlinear Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. The correlation coefficient ( ) between the observed and estimated volumes, root-mean-square error (RMSE), as well as graphical analysis of the dispersion and distribution of the residuals were used as criteria to evaluate the performance of the methods. After the analysis, the nonlinear least squares method presented a slightly better result in terms of the goodness-of-fit statistics, however it altered the expected trend of the fitted curve due to the presence of influential data, which did not happen with the QR and the RANSAC algorithm, as these were more robust in the presence of discrepant data

Production strategy influence on the economic viability of a family fish farm in Pará state, Amazon, Brazil

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of the adoption of single-phase and two-phase system on the economic feasibility of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) family production in the Tracuateua municipality, Pará state. The operational cost methodology and economic efficiency indicators were adopted to compare these rearing systems. The annual production was 4,200 kg and 5,826 kg. The operational costs were R$26,169.00 and R$ 34,365.00, the total operational cost was R$27,505 and R$ 35,701.00, and the total operational cost per kg was R$6.55 and R$ 6.13 for single-phase and two-phase systems, respectively. Regarding the indicators, the net present value was R$24,180.70, the internal rate of return was 24$ 48,582.06, the internal rate of return was 29%, the cost-benefit ratio was 1.25, and the capital return period was 3.6 years. Despite the demand for greater investment, the two-phase system proved to be more profitable than the single-phase system, promoting even a reduction in unit production cost

Using Kalman Filters to Reduce Noise from RFID Location System

Nowadays, there are many technologies that support location systems involving intrusive and nonintrusive equipment and also varying in terms of precision, range, and cost. However, the developers some time neglect the noise introduced by these systems, which prevents these systems from reaching their full potential. Focused on this problem, in this research work a comparison study between three different filters was performed in order to reduce the noise introduced by a location system based on RFID UWB technology with an associated error of approximately 18 cm. To achieve this goal, a set of experiments was devised and executed using a miniature train moving at constant velocity in a scenario with two distinct shapes—linear and oval. Also, this train was equipped with a varying number of active tags. The obtained results proved that the Kalman Filter achieved better results when compared to the other two filters. Also, this filter increases the performance of the location system by 15% and 12% for the linear and oval paths respectively, when using one tag. For a multiple tags and oval shape similar results were obtained (11–13% of improvement)
