Archiveros: "a YouTube experience"

8.º Congreso ANABAD "Memoria y Tecnología", Madrid, 13-15 Febrero 2008 (ANABAD - Confederación Española de Asociaciones de Archiveros, Bibliotecarios, Museólogos y Documentalistas)Archiveros «están» en YouTube, sitio web de Google Inc. donde los usuarios pueden compartir videos. Mientras estén en número reducido, están presentes en este sitio web donde amateurs y profesionales difunden sus vídeos, vistos y compartidos por personas de todo el mundo. De que hablan estos vídeos? Quien son los protagonistas? Que utilizaciones están hechas del término archivero? En esta comunicación se pretende reflejar algunos aspectos sobre vídeos disponibles en YouTube. Es una reflexión resultado de una experiencia multilingue, multicultural y «multiafectiva» a propósito de los archivos, en el contexto de una creciente globalización también potenciada por las tecnologías y en un contexto de democratización de la producción y difusión de contenidos en Internet.Archivists can be «found» in YouTube, a video sharing website of Google Inc. Although these videos are few in number, they are present in this website wherein amateurs and professionals spread their videos, seen and shared from people all over the world. What are these videos about? Who are their authors? How is the word archivist used? In this presentation we tried to reflect on some videos that are available in YouTube. This reflection is a result of a multilinguistic, multicultural and «multiaffective » experience about the archives, in a context of an increasing globalization also empowered by technology and in a context of democratization of production and distribution of content on Internet

The work of people with disabilities in the perception of colleagues and managers

The main objective of this study was to explore the work of disabled people (PwD) in the perception of colleagues and managers, assessing four dimensions: General Perception of Hiring; Emotional Intelligence; Interpersonal Communication; and Inclusion in the workplace. This study used a quantitative methodology, with a closed answer questionnaire applied via Googleforms. The sample was made up of 314 PwD co-workers, including supervisors (n=314), employees of the Auchan Portugal Group. Data analysis was performed through descriptive and inferential statistics, using SPSS-24.0 software. The results were the following: the vast majority of participants considered that hiring PwD contributes to the social responsibility of the company (92.7%), although a small percentage considered that PwD have more difficulty in understanding a task (30%) and lower productivity (23.6%) [General Perception of Hiring]; most participants are sensitive to the emotions and feelings of PwD (89.2%) [Emotional Intelligence]; part of the participants did not agree or disagree that living with PwD improves the climate of the organization (42%); about half of the co-workers disagreed that PwD do not adopt inappropriate behavior in the organization (51%) [Interpersonal Communication]; the majority considered that PwD are well integrated into the organizational environment (77.1%), were well accepted by all (71.7%) and agree with the legislation that requires companies with 75 or more workers to hire a PwD (82.2%) [Inclusion in the workplace].info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Emotions, communicational process and inclusion of people with disabilities in the work context

The general objective of this research focuses on understanding how the labor market integrates people with disabilities (PwD), understanding their emotions and how they manage them throughout the work day, and knowing how communication is processed in theworkplace. The following specific objectives were then defined: to know the degree of awareness that disabled workers have about their emotions in their daily interactions in the workplace,and to analyze the communicative interactions of PwD in the work environment. A mixed methodology was chosen, using qualitative and quantitative research. The qualitative methodology used semi-structured interviews, and the quantitative methodology used a questionnaire. The sample was made up of 50 disabled workers and314 co-workers of the same (n=314), employees of the Auchan Portugal Group. The results showed that: of the four dimensions under study (General Perception of Hiring, Emotional Intelligence, Interpersonal Communicationand Integration/Insertion in the workplace) the great majority of PwD co-workers agreedor totally agreed with the items of the four dimensions, which suggests apositive score with the themes under study, the PwDare able to identify the emotions that most characterize the day-to-day at work, but most disguise the discomfort felt and do not clearly communicate to the other what emotion they felt, most PwDcommunicate to the other the behavior that caused them discomfort, PwDdo not consider the communication channels confusing, most PwDfeel integrated in the company and state that no specific adaptation has been made,most of the interviewees suggest a greater sensitivity on the part of the employer and work adapted to the person and his/her disability.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Assessing the Importance of Work for People with Disabilities at Auchan, Portugal

The inclusion of People with Disabilities (PwD's) in the labor market is a challenge and a great opportunity for companies. This inclusion process has the power to generate a great social impact in the life of PwD since they can be paid and can also play an important role that makes them feel proud and useful to society. However, this community faces many difficulties both in their inclusion and during their day-to-day work. This paper, therefore, focuses on exploring and understanding how organizations welcome these workers, what emotions they feel and how they manage them, and how well communication takes place in this context. A mixed methodology was used, with recourse to qualitative and quantitative research. Fifty disabled workers and 314 of their co-workers, employees of the Auchan Portugal Group, participated in the study. The results showed that PwD's recognize their emotions when interacting with their co-workers, but most of them disguise themselves when they feel discomfort. The feeling/emotion that mostly characterizes the daily professional life of these people is pride, which refers to the importance that work plays in their daily lives. As for organizational communication, PwD's consider it to be accessible. It was also possible to notice that although most PwD feel integrated, they suggest greater sensitivity from the employer, adapted work, and more accessibility in the workplace.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Agressividade e adolescência : implicações na deteção de faces emocionais positivas e negativas

Mestrado em Psicologia ForenseA adolescência é uma fase do ciclo de vida marcada por grandes alterações psicológicas, comportamentais, físicas e cognitivas, suscetível ao desenvolvimento de comportamentos agressivos. A agressividade pode surgir como resposta a uma forma de interpretação hostil de estímulos sociais. Quando um indivíduo entra numa situação social, a informação é processada em cinco etapas anteriores a ser efetivada uma ação, e em cada uma delas, a informação é codificada ou recuperada com interferência de um conjunto de pressupostos cognitivos armazenados na memória e que podem estar enviesados. Existem evidências do processamento automático de faces de raiva. Estas podem ser interpretadas como uma pista de hostilidade por parte dos outros, podendo estar associada ao viés de atribuição hostil em jovens mais agressivos. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar se o processamento de informação se encontra enviesado na deteção de pistas sociais, neste caso faces, em adolescentes agressivos. Pretende-se averiguar se um maior nível de agressividade potencia o reconhecimento de expressões faciais de cariz emocional negativo (raiva e nojo), levando a menores tempos de reação bem como a uma maior proporção de respostas corretas para faces emocionais negativas. A amostra de 40 adolescentes (20 rapazes e 20 raparigas) preencheu o Questionário Revisto de Experiência Entre Pares (QREEP) para categorização do nível de agressividade e posterior divisão em dois grupos, um com baixo e um com elevado nível de agressividade. Todos os participantes realizaram também uma tarefa de pesquisa visual na qual se apresentavam expressões faciais emocionais alvo (alegria, raiva e nojo) entre expressões neutras ou apenas expressões faciais neutras. A tarefa dos participantes implicava detetar de forma rápida e precisa a presença (ou ausência) das expressões discrepantes. Os resultados demonstram que em ambos os grupos os tempos de resposta se revelaram mais longos para a deteção de faces de raiva, seguindo-se as faces de nojo e por fim as de alegria. Para além disso, os resultados revelaram uma menor proporção de respostas corretas para as faces de raiva em ambos os grupos, comparativamente com as faces de nojo e alegria. Os resultados indicaram também que o nível de agressividade não interferiu na deteção de estímulos potencialmente ameaçadores, uma vez que não foram reveladas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre grupos nos tempos e na precisão das respostas. Estes resultados podem ser justificados pelo facto de, como demonstrado por estudos anteriores, as faces de raiva dificultarem o desprendimento do olhar de estímulos ameaçadores e, assim, potenciarem a perceção de ameaça.Adolescence is a human life cycle stage marked by relevant psychological, behavioural, physical and cognitive changes. During adolescence the development of aggressive behaviour is rather frequent. Aggressiveness may result from an interpretation of hostiliy of social stimuli. When an individual faces a social situation, the information is processed in five steps that occur previous to the action and, in each of them, the information is encoded or recalled with the interference of a set of cognitive assumptions stored in memory that in some cases can be biased. There is evidence of an automatic processing of angry faces. These faces can be interpreted as a cue of hostility from peers, leading to overstated hostile attributions assumed by adolescentes who are more aggressive. The goal of this study was to investigate if the information processing is affected in the interpretation of social cues, in this case faces with emotional expressions. The aim is to determine whether a higher level of aggressiveness enhances the detection of facial expressions of negative emotional nature (anger and disgust) (shorter response times and higher proportion of erros oin a visual search task) due to a higher attribution of hostile intentions. A sample of 40 adolescents (20 male and 20 female) were divided into two groups, based on their score in the Revised Peer Experience Questionnaire (RPEQ) (low and high aggressivity level). All the participants also performed a visual search task which included a set of emotional facial expressions (happy, anger and disgust) presented among neutral facial expressions. The participants task was to detect the presence or absence of target face (anger, disgust, or happy) as quickly and accurately as possible. The results showed that, in both groups, the response time was longer for detecting angry faces, followed by disgusted and happy faces. In addition, the results showed a lower proportion of correct responses to angry faces in both groups, compared to disgust and happy faces. The results also revealed that the level of aggression did not interfere with the detection of potential threatening stimuli, since there were statistically significant differences between groups in terms of response times and accuracy. These results can be explained by the fact that, as demonstrated in previous studies, the angry faces delayed the disengagement of attention which, in turn, might increase the perceived degree of hostility displayed in the angry faces in adolescents

Physical processing efficiency of saline vs. alkaline spent batteries

Physical processing of spent batteries which includes shredding and sieving operation is the first step for chemical treatment by hydrometallurgy. A laboratory study was carried out to evaluate physical processing efficiency, by analysing the resulting particle size, of alkaline and saline mignon-type Zn-MnO2 batteries. After shredding with a tip shredder, results obtained showed that alkaline batteries were more efficiently size reduced than saline batteries. Difference in particle size distribution was larger for granulometric fraction -20+11.2 mm and also higher for saline batteries. Average diameters (d50) for saline and alkaline batteries were respectively 9.1 and 6.2 mm. Chemical composition carried out on several granulometric fractions allowed to identify metals distribution through size categories. This analysis showed that zinc concentration with the grain size was almost constant, while manganese decreased when particle size increased. More than 95% of iron scarp from the battery cases had a particle size higher than 5.6 mm
