Sobre a tradição oral Algarvia. 1— Poesia recolhida na freguesia de Querença. As orações

Breve reflexão sobre as orações e os romances-oração contidos na colecção entitulada Tradição Oral Algarvia.I — Poesia Recolhida na Freguesia de Querença. Deixando de lado a perspectiva diacrónica, vamos considerar as formas mnemónicas e formulísticas de algumas orações de protecção: Padre Nosso Pequenino, uma oração da noite, As Tabuínhas de Moisés, uma "oração forte" para ser recitada duma forma extremamente rigorosa e ritualizada, através duma estrita ordem verbal e numérica. É também referido um romance-oração recolhido só no Algarve e que apresenta, em certas versões, formas vestigiais de paralelismo também encontradas nalguns romances líricos.

Predicting intention to work with social robots

The growing number of robotic solutions geared to interact socially with humans, social robots, urge the study of the factors that will facilitate or hinder future human robot collaboration. Hence the research question: what are the factors that predict intention to work with a social robot in the near future. To answer this question the following socio-cognitive models were studied, the theory of reasoned action, the theory of planned behavior and the model of goal directed behavior. These models purport that all the other variables will only have an indirect effect on behavior. That is, through the variables of the model. Based on the research on robotics and social perception/ cognition, social robot appearance, belief in human nature uniqueness, perceived warmth, perceived competence, anthropomorphism, negative attitude towards robots with human traits and negative attitudes towards interactions with robots were studied for their effects on attitude towards working with a social robot, perceived behavioral control, positive anticipated emotions and negative anticipated emotions. Study 1 identified the social representation of robot. Studies 2 to 5 investigated the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the negative attitude towards robots scale. Study 6 investigated the psychometric properties of the belief in human nature uniqueness scale. Study 7 tested the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior. Study 8 tested the model of goal directed behavior. Studies 7 and 8 also tested the role of the external variables. Study 9 tested and compared the predictive power of the three socio-cognitive models. Finally conclusion are drawn from the research results, and future research suggestions are offered.
