O objetivo deste trabalho de investigação é o desenvolvimento de um modelo de governança de TI em universidades públicas para que mais eficaz e eficientemente cumpram a sua missão. A investigação irá identificar os mecanismos de governança de TI utilizados em diferentes realidades universitárias e avaliar a eficiência e eficácia na sua implementação considerando fatores contingenciais. Recorrer-se-á à administração de surveys em contextos sobre os quais já se detém e se tem facilidade em adquirir conhecimento, nomeadamente, universidades federais brasileiras e universidades públicas portuguesas. Design Science Research será utilizada pela sua adequação à resolução de problemas organizacionais complexos que requerem o desenvolvimento de artefactos, neste caso, um modelo para governança de TI em universidades públicas. O modelo proposto gerado será avaliado por especialistas e profissionais da área TI através de surveys, entrevistas e workshops. Analisar-se-á a eficácia e facilidade de implementação de mecanismos e ferramentas que auxiliem na governança de TI. Espera-se contribuir com um modelo e um guia para a sua implementação nas universidades públicas enquanto se reforça o corpo de conhecimento na governança de TI.

Undergraduate medical education is moving from traditional disciplinary basic science courses into more integrated curricula. Integration models based on organ systems originated in the 1950s, but few longitudinal studies have evaluated their effectiveness. This article outlines the development and implementation of the Organic and Functional Systems (OFS) courses at the University of Minho in Portugal, using evidence collected over 10 years. It describes the organization of content, student academic performance and acceptability of the courses, the evaluation of preparedness for future courses and the retention of knowledge on basic sciences. Students consistently rated the OFS courses highly. Physician tutors in subsequent clinical attachments considered that students were appropriately prepared. Performance in the International Foundations of Medicine examination of a self-selected sample of students revealed similar performances in basic science items after the last OFS course and 4 years later, at the moment of graduation. In conclusion, the organizational and pedagogical approaches of the OFS courses achieve high acceptability by students and result in positive outcomes in terms of preparedness for subsequent training and long-term retention of basic science knowledge.

In this paper, we present an integrated system for real-time automatic detection of human actions from video. The proposed approach uses the boundary of humans as the main feature for recognizing actions. Background subtraction is performed using Gaussian mixture model. Then, features are extracted from silhouettes and Vector Quantization is used to map features into symbols (bag of words approach). Finally, actions are detected using the Hidden Markov Model. The proposed system was validated using a newly collected real- world dataset. The obtained results show that the system is capable of achieving robust human detection, in both indoor and outdoor environments. Moreover, promising classification results were achieved when detecting two basic human actions: walking and sitting.

This work proposes a constitutive model to simulate nonlinear behaviour of cement based materials subjected to different loading paths. The model incorporates a multidirectional fixed smeared crack approach to simulate crack initiation and propagation, whereas the inelastic behaviour of material between cracks is treated by a numerical strategy that combines plasticity and damage theories. For capturing more realistically the shear stress transfer between the crack surfaces, a softening diagram is assumed for modelling the crack shear stress versus crack shear strain. The plastic damage model is based on the yield function, flow rule and evolution law for hardening variable, and includes an explicit isotropic damage law to simulate the stiffness degradation and the softening behaviour of cement based materials in compression. This model was implemented into the FEMIX computer program, and experimental tests at material scale were simulated to appraise the predictive performance of this constitutive model. The applicability of the model for simulating the behaviour of reinforced concrete shear wall panels submitted to biaxial loading conditions, and RC beams failing in shear is investigated.
