The settlements design of the Boalhosa’s agricultural colony. A dialectical perspective: between tradition and the construction of modernity

The design of the settlement in the Agricultural Colony of Boalhosa results from an understanding that privileges compact solutions, making the most of the conditions of the topography and respecting the morphology of the natural landscape. In turn, the architectures associated with this design were designed taking advantage of these conditions, considering them as a fundamental data of the preexistence. However, this understanding did not fail to concern itself with the principles of modern architecture, thus seeking solutions capable of establishing a relationship of continuity between tradition and innovation, between the roots of the vernacular and the paradigm of the modern. By valuing the site's specificities and exploring new technical possibilities, this search adopts a strategy that is typical of Critical Regionalism, to mediate the impact of universal civilization with elements derived indirectly from the peculiarities of a particular place (Frampton, 1983). Not excluding possible relationships with notable examples of the movements Garden City and City Beautiful, in the urban and architectural solution seems to prevail, above all, an attitude of adaptation to the place and agreement with the materials and language of the region.This work was conducted at CEAA, under the project MODSCAPES - Modernist Reinventions of the Rural Landscape (HERA.15.097).

Outline for a human-based assessment methodology of urban projects. The case of Polis Gondomar

This paper presents the results of a research project proposing an assessment methodology for the actual impacts of urban projects on city development . At this stage, the research has focused on the identification of indicators about the success of urban projects according to the accomplishment, functioning and use of public spaces. A case study is presented as a means for exploring these indicators: the intervention made by the Polis Programme at Gondomar.Neste artigo apresenta-se uma síntese dos resultados de um projeto de investigação referente à primeira fase para a construção de uma metodologia de avaliação de impactes do(s) projeto(s) urbano(s) no desenvolvimento da cidade . Nesta fase, a investigação centrou-se na identificação de indicadores sobre o êxito do projeto urbano do ponto de vista da finalização, funcionamento e utilização dos espaços e serviços de uso público, tendo como caso de estudo a intervenção realizada no âmbito do Programa Polis em Gondomar.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Stereophotogrammetric Analysis of Pushing Kinematics of Wheelchair Rugby Players on an Inertial Ergometer

The aim of the work was the kinematic analysis of pushing technique of four wheelchair rugby players using a stereophotogrammetric motion capture system. The four players presented an increasing level of ability expressed by their wheelchair rugby classification point. An original contribution of the work is the fact that exercises were recorded on an inertial drum ergometer with players using their own game wheelchair. The ergometer inertia was tuned to reproduce the linear inertia of each player: subjects performed sprint tests without additional resistance and Wingate tests. The Initial Contact and Hand Release values at the wheel were recorded for each test in the early stages and at the end. The shoulder flexion/extension angle and the elbow flexion angle were plotted against each other to highlight a tendency to a synchronous joint kinematics with increasing classification points

Social farming as an innovative approach to promote mental health, social inclusion and community engagement

I fattori contestuali astratti basati sulla natura vengono riconosciuti come fondamentali per la prevenzione e la promozione della salute mentale . Le aree rurali, infatti, sono sempre più riconosciute come luogo elettivo per la promozione della salute mentale. Negli ultimi anni c'è stata un'ondata di modelli di governance ibrida con base rurale in cui enti pubblici, comunità locali e attori economici uniscono le forze per creare soluzioni di welfare innovative per facilitare le sfide finanziarie (e organizzative) affrontate dai sistemi sanitari nazionali. Utilizzando risorse agricole, come animali e piante, l'agricoltura sociale è in grado di soddisfare esigenze sociali specifiche, tra cui riabilitazione, occupazione protetta, istruzione permanentee altre attività che contribuiscono all'inclusione sociale. Allo stesso tempo, l'agricoltura sociale è in grado di rafforzare la redditività economica e sociale delle comunità rurali. Abbiamo studiato i fattori alla base delle potenzialità delle fattorie sociali per fornire programmi di inserimento lavorativo e riabilitazione per le persone con disturbi mentali. Utilizzando nuove metodologie e strumenti adeguati, abbiamo raccolto dati che indicano gli effetti positivi delle attività agricole sul funzionamento sociale dell'individuo, nonché l'impatto del networking delle aziende agricole sulla sostenibilità del sistema

Post-Transplant Nivolumab Plus Unselected Autologous Lymphocytes in Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Feasible and Promising Salvage Therapy Associated With Expansion and Maturation of NK Cells

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CI) have demonstrated clinical activity in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients relapsing after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), although only 20% complete response (CR) rate was observed. The efficacy of CI is strictly related to the host immune competence, which is impaired in heavily pre-treated HL patients. Here, we aimed to enhance the activity of early post-ASCT CI (nivolumab) administration with the infusion of autologous lymphocytes (ALI). Twelve patients with relapse/refractory (R/R) HL (median age 28.5 years; range 18-65), underwent lymphocyte apheresis after first line chemotherapy and then proceeded to salvage therapy. Subsequently, 9 patients with progressive disease at ASCT received early post-transplant CI supported with four ALI, whereas 3 responding patients received ALI alone, as a control cohort. No severe adverse events were recorded. HL-treated patients achieved negative PET scan CR and 8 are alive and disease-free after a median follow-up of 28 months. Four patients underwent subsequent allogeneic SCT. Phenotypic analysis of circulating cells showed a faster expansion of highly differentiated NK cells in ALI plus nivolumab-treated patients as compared to control patients. Our data show anti-tumor activity with good tolerability of ALI + CI for R/R HL and suggest that this setting may accelerate NK cell development/maturation and favor the expansion of the "adaptive" NK cell compartment in patients with HCMV seropositivity, in the absence of HCMV reactivation

Building the Modernist rural landscape in the Salazar’s Regime: The agricultural colony of Boalhosa

The construction of the modernist rural landscape in Portugal bears the mark of the Junta de Colonização Interna, an institution created in 1936 during the Salazar regime within the Ministry of Agriculture. The colonies which were actually completed and whose original structures remain until today are regarded as singular experiences that, having assumed the assumptions of modernity, have sought to establish continuity with certain aspects of landscape and vernacular architecture. This research aims to test the methodology proposed for the analysis of the physical legacies of these colonies, applying it on the Agricultural Colony of Boalhosa. The methodology combines GIS and mapping analysis, covering several layers of information embarking natural and anthropogenic spatial data, which allow understanding the landscape transformation since the settlement of the colony. From the reading of the landscape structure of this colony, it was verified that these legacies were accomplished through the use of an autonomous design methodology, which considers the local culture and respects both the morphological and physiographic characteristics of the existing site, leading to the creation of modern landscapes strongly tied to the local identities
