Objetivo: O estudo apresentado uma anlise bibliomtrica da produo cientfica portuguesa da rea da sade indexada na Web of Science. Mtodos: Analisa-se a produo referente ao perodo entre 1992 e final de 2011. A anlise da produo cientfica centrou-se nas seguintes variveis: categorias de classificao da Web of Science, tipologia de documentos indexados, ttulos de revistas, distribuio por anos de publicao, afiliao institucional, idiomas, pases de origem dos autores com quem foram estabelecidas relaes de parceria cientfica e quem facultou os financiamentos investigao cientfica. Resultados: Foram contabilizados 34.208 trabalhos. Destes, o artigo a forma mais utilizada pelos autores portugueses para a divulgao dos resultados de investigao (58,5%). A dcada mais recente contemplada com 75,4% dos registos. A maioria da produo com visibilidade internacional oriunda de universidades e de centros de investigao hospitalar; institutos, laboratrios da indstria farmacutica e universidades estrangeiras tm valores residuais. A colaborao com outros investigadores internacionais destaca-se no caso da Europa (73,2%). O financiamento da investigao cientfica suportado basicamente pela Fundao para a Cincia e Tecnologia (59,5%), seguida da Comisso Europeia (17,8%). O ingls o idioma mais usado para a divulgao dos resultados de investigao nacional na rea da sade (97,8%). Concluses: O uso de bases de dados ou de plataformas cientficas para estudos bibliomtricos um processo moroso e difcil. O total de trabalhos em anlise foi sempre o mesmo mas, em algumas variveis, os valores no coincidem, quer porque alguns dos registos foram classificados em mais do que uma categoria temtica, quer pelos trabalhos multidisciplinares oriundos das mesmas instituies, quer pelos trabalhos de colaborao internacional. Tambm no presente estudo os artigos so o veculo privilegiado para a divulgao dos resultados cientficos. Apontamento final: deve encorajar-se a utilizao de outras plataformas cientficas e de outras bases de dados para uma mais completa recuperao da produo cientfica nacional na rea da sade. Introduction: The production and the use of the scientific literature are analyzed, quantified and interpreted by bibliometry. Bibliometry is the science used in published information metric studies and studies the questions of scientific communication and the scientific production. Aim of the study: This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the indexed Web of Science Portuguese scientific production in the health field. Methods: We analyzed the production from 1992 to the end of 2011. This analysis focused in several variables: general categories areas of Web of Science, indexed document types, source titles, publication years, group/corporate authors, languages, identification of the countries with scientific partnerships and identification of the funding agencies for scientific research. Results: We found 34.208 works. From this, the article is the most common channel for disseminating the research results (58.5%). The most recent decade has 75.4% of the total of records. Most of the production with international visibility becomes from universities and hospital research centers; institutes, pharmaceutical labs or foreign universities have residual values. Collaborating with other international researchers is very common, particularly with Europe (73.2%). In general, the Fundao para a Cincia e Tecnologia supports the scientific research (59.5%), followed by the European Commission (17.8%). The language commonly used for disseminating the research results in health is the English (97.8%). Conclusions: Using databases or scientific platforms for bibliometric studies is a hard and difficult process. The total of works analyzed was always the same but, with some variables, the numbers does not coincide: a) some of the registries were classified in several categories; b) some of the multidisciplinary works were from the same institution; c) the large number of international partnership. In this study, articles are the privileged way for disseminating the scientific results. A last thought: the use of other scientific platforms and databases should be encouraged for a more complete retrieval of the national research production in health.

Words are the smallest units of messages. Attention should be given to each word used to be sure it is the most effective one. An effective word is one that the receiver will understand and that will elicit the wanted response. The ability to choose words by (a) using a dictionary and a thesaurus and (b) following some of the principles of business communication described in this text can be improved.

Plain radiography still accounts for the vast majority of imaging studies that are performed at multiple clinical instances. Digital detectors are now prominent in many imaging facilities and they are the main driving force towards filmless environments. There has been a working paradigm shift due to the functional separation of acquisition, visualization, and storage with deep impact in the imaging workflows. Moreover with direct digital detectors images are made available almost immediately. Digital radiology is now completely integrated in Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) environments governed by the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. In this chapter a brief overview of PACS architectures and components is presented together with a necessarily brief account of the DICOM standard. Special focus is given to the DICOM digital radiology objects and how specific attributes may now be used to improve and increase the metadata repository associated with image data. Regular scrutiny of the metadata repository may serve as a valuable tool for improved, cost-effective, and multidimensional quality control procedures.

The criticality of self-assembled rigid rods on triangular lattices is investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. We find a continuous transition between an ordered phase, where the rods are oriented along one of the three (equivalent) lattice directions, and a disordered one. We conclude that equilibrium polydispersity of the rod lengths does not affect the critical behavior, as we found that the criticality is the same as that of monodisperse rodson the same lattice, in contrast with the results of recently published work on similar models.

Vivemos actualmente numa sociedade caracterizada pela informao, pela segmentao do pblico e pela crescente necessidade de experincias por parte deste mesmo pblico, em que cada vez mais difcil para as marcas posicionarem-se no mercado, razo pela qual necessrio pensar em novas estratgias publicitrias para comunicar com os consumidores. Em face deste cenrio, o Marketing de Guerrilha pode constituir-se como uma ferramenta diferenciadora e eficaz, j que se prope desenvolver solues medida dos pblicos atravs da implementao de aces inesperadas, ousadas, impactantes e, sobretudo, geradoras de experincias. Neste contexto este trabalho procura aprofundar o conhecimento deste novo tipo de comunicao publicitria a partir da identificao das suas tcnicas e tcticas mais usadas e do estudo do seu impacto junto do grande pblico, entendido este como a viralidade da aco, medida em Plays, e o feedback do consumidor, medido em Likes e Dislikes. Considerando a diminuta investigao cientfica sobre este tema, bem como a parca literatura disponvel, esta dissertao assume a forma de um estudo exploratrio do tipo misto sequencial, desenvolvido com base numa anlise qualitativa seguida de quantitativa de 150 casos publicados online, disponibilizados na base de dados Ads of the World. Identificadas as tcnicas e tcticas mais comuns, os resultados do trabalho emprico sugerem a existncia de dependncia entre tcnicas ou tcticas e a viralidade da aco e feedback do consumidor.

A Organizao Mundial da Sade define a literacia em sade como o conjunto de competncias cognitivas e sociais e a capacidade dos indivduos para compreenderem e usarem informao para a promoo e manuteno da sade. A transmisso de informao sobre sade mais eficaz quando os seus contedos so especificamente desenhados para uma pessoa ou para um grupo populacional e quando a mensagem bem delimitada, realando os benefcios (ganhos) e os custos (perdas) associados aos comportamentos e s tomadas de deciso. Analisa-se, neste estudo, o conceito de literacia em sade e a associao da baixa literacia em sade aos comportamentos em sade e aos gastos em sade. Apresenta-se uma anlise da literatura cientfica publicada sobre a baixa literacia em sade e a sua implicao nos custos na sade usando, para este objectivo, uma base de dados das cincias da sade (MEDLINE/PubMed) e quatro plataformas cientficas (DOAJ, SCOPUS, SciELO e Web of Science). A literatura cientfica analisada evidencia que pessoas com baixa literacia em sade apresentam uma menor capacidade de compreenso dos contedos de material informativo sobre alimentos, doenas crnicas ou sobre o uso de medicamentos, por exemplo, bem como maior dificuldade em pesquisar, seleccionar, ler e assimilar a informao em sade disponvel na Internet. A baixa literacia em sade relaciona-se, ento. com a dificuldade na preveno e na gesto de problemas de sade, bem como com comportamentos ineficazes de sade, i.e., com o uso inadequado de medicamentos, com o recurso excessivo aos servios de sade (em especial, os de urgncias) ou com a ineficcia em lidar com situaes de emergncia. A baixa literacia est tambm associada a taxas de hospitalizao mais altas, mas tambm mais longas no tempo (o que implica mais custos associados a internamento prolongado, mais exames de diagnstico e fraca adeso teraputica medicamentosa), a uma diminuio da utilizao de medidas preventivas e a uma fraca adeso prescrio teraputica. A baixa literacia acaba por afectar igualmente a comunicao (e a relao) mdico-doente. Apresentam-se, como complemento, sugestes de melhoria da literacia em sade e da comunicao mdico-doente para efeitos da promoo da sade.

This paper intends to show the Portuguese municipalities commitment, since the first decade of this century, in cultural facilities of municipal management and how it provided 12 of the 18 district capitals of mainland Portugal with cultural equipment, but after all we want to know if this effort resulted in a regular, diverse, and innovative schedule. Investing in urban regeneration, local governments have tried to convert cities demographic changes (strengthening of the most educated and professionally qualified groups) in effective cultural demands that consolidate the three axes of development competitiveness-innovation-creativity. What the empirical study to the programming and communication proposals of those equipment shows is that it is not enough to provide cities with facilities; to escape to a utilitarian conception of culture, there is a whole work to be done so that such equipment be experienced and felt as new public sphere. Equipment in which proposals go through a fluid bind, constructed through space and discourse with local community, devoted a diversified and innovative bet full filling development axis. This paper presents in a systematic way what contributes to this binding on the analyzed equipment.

This presentation intends to show to what extent the Portuguese municipalities commitment, from the first decade of this century, in cultural facilities of municipal management and which has provided 12 of the 18 district capitals of mainland Portugal with equipment, resulted in a regular, diverse and innovative schedule. Investing in urban regeneration, local government has tried to convert cities demographic changes (strengthening of the most educated and professionally qualified groups) in effective cultural demands that consolidate the three axes of development competitiveness-innovation-creativity. What the empirical study to the programming and communication proposals of those equipment shows is that it is not enough to provide cities with facilities; to escape to a utilitarian conception of culture, there is a whole work to be done so that such equipment be experienced and felt as new public sphere.

We live in a changing world. At an impressive speed, every day new technological resources appear. We increasingly use the Internet to obtain and share information, and new online communication tools are emerging. Each of them encompasses new potential and creates new audiences. In recent years, we witnessed the emergence of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other media platforms. They have provided us with an even greater interactivity between sender and receiver, as well as generated a new sense of community. At the same time we also see the availability of content like it never happened before. We are increasingly sharing texts, videos, photos, etc. This poster intends to explore the potential of using these new online communication tools in the cultural sphere to create new audiences, to develop of a new kind of community, to provide information as well as different ways of building organizations memory. The transience of performing arts is accompanied by the need to counter that transience by means of documentation. This desire to save events reaches its expression with the information archive of the different production moments as well as the opportunity to record the event and present it through, for instance, digital platforms. In this poster we intend to answer the following questions: which online communication tools are being used to engage audiences in the cultural sphere (specifically between theater companies in Lisbon)? Is there a new relationship with the public? Are online communication tools creating a new kind of community? What changes are these tools introducing in the creative process? In what way the availability of content and its archive contribute to the organization memory? Among several references, we will approach the two-way communication model that James E. Grunig & Todd T. Hunt (1984) already presented and the concept of mass self-communication of Manuel Castells (2010). Castells also tells us that we have moved from traditional media to a system of communication networks. For Scott Kirsner (2010), we have entered an era of digital creativity, where artists have the tools to do what they imagined and the public no longer wants to just consume cultural goods, but instead to have a voice and participate. The creativity process is now depending on the public choice as they wander through the screen. It is the receiver who owns an object which can be exchanged. Virtual reality has encouraged the receiver to abandon its position of passive observer and to become a participant agent, which implies a challenge to organizations: inventing new forms of interfaces. Therefore, we intend to find new and effective online tools that can be used by cultural organizations; the best way to manage them; to show how organizations can create a community with the public and how the availability of online content and its archive can contribute to the organizations memory.

The legacy of nineteenth century social theory followed a nationalist model of society, assuming that analysis of social realities depends upon national boundaries, taking the nation-state as the primary unit of analysis, and developing the concept of methodological nationalism. This perspective regarded the nation-state as the natural - and even necessary - form of society in modernity. Thus, the constitution of large cities, at the end of the 19th century, through the intense flows of immigrants coming from diverse political and linguistic communities posed an enormous challenge to all social research. One of the most significant studies responding to this set of issues was The Immigrant Press and its Control, by Robert E. Park, one of the most prominent American sociologists of the first half of the 20th century. The Immigrant Press and its Control was part of a larger project entitled Americanization Studies: The Acculturation of Immigrant Group into American Society, funded by the Carnagie Corporation following World War I, taking as its goal to study the so-called Americanization methods during the 1920s. This paper revisits that particular work by Park to reveal how his detailed analysis of the role of the immigrant press overcame the limitations of methodological nationalism. By granting importance to language as a tool uniting each community and by showing how the strength of foreign languages expressed itself through the immigrant press, Park demonstrated that the latter produces a more ambivalent phenomenon than simply the assimilation of immigrants. On the one hand, the immigrant press served as a connecting force, driven by the desire to preserve the mother tongue and culture while at the same time awakening national sentiments that had, until then, remained diffuse. Yet, on the other hand, it facilitated the adjustment of immigrants to the American context. As a result, Parks work contributes to our understanding of a particular liminal moment inherent within many intercultural contexts, the space between emigrant identity (emphasizing the country of origin) and immigrant identity (emphasizing the newly adopted country). His focus on the role played by media in the socialization of immigrant groups presaged later work on this subject by communication scholars. Focusing attention on Parks research leads to other studies of the immigrant experience from the same period (e.g., Thomas & Znaniecki, The Polish Peasant in Europe and America), and also to insights on multi-presence and interculturality as significant but often overlooked phenomena in the study of immigrant socialization.
