In this study in the field of Consumer Behavior, brand name memory of consumers with regard to verbal and visual incongruent and congruent information such as memory structure of brands was tested. Hence, four experimental groups with different constellations of verbal and visual congruity and incongruity were created to compare their brand name memory performance. The experiment was conducted in several classes with 128 students, each group with 32 participants. It was found that brands, which are presented in a congruent or moderately incongruent relation to their brand schema, result in a better brand recall than their incongruent counterparts. A difference between visual congruity and moderately incongruity could not be confirmed. In contrast to visual incongruent information, verbal incongruent information does not result in a worse brand recall performance.

The hegemonic definition of Modernism has been subjected to an intense critical revision process that began several decades ago. This process has contributed to the significant broadening of the modernist canon by challenging its primal essentialist assumptions and formalist interpretations in the fields of both the visual arts and architecture. This conference aims to further expand this revision, as it seeks to discuss the notion of Southern Modernisms by considering the hypothesis that regional appropriations, both in Southern Europe and the Southern hemisphere, entailed important critical stances that have remained unseen or poorly explored by art and architectural historians. In association with the Southern Modernisms research project (FCT EXPL/CPC-HAT/0191/2013), we want to consider the entrenchment of southern modernisms in popular culture (folk art and vernacular architecture) as anticipating some of the premises of what would later become known as critical regionalism. It is therefore our purpose to explore a research path that runs parallel to key claims on modernisms intertwinement with bourgeois society and mass culture, by questioning the idea that an aesthetically significant regionalism one that resists to the colonization of international styles and is supported by critical awareness occurred only in the field of architecture, and can only be represented as a postmodernist turn.

A divindade sumero-acdica Inanna/Itar afirma-se como uma das mais importantes figuras divinas do universo religioso mesopotmico, tendo sido alvo de um trabalho constante por parte da historiografia moderna. O seu lugar de destaque confirmado pela sua constante presena como protagonista nas composies mitopoticas, assim como pela transversalidade do seu culto, atestado desde a segunda metade do IV milnio a.C. O seu carcter sincrtico conheceu um primeiro e vinculativo momento, quando a deusa sumria Inanna se fundiu com a deusa semita Itar. A partilha da mesma identidade astral, Vnus, permitiu que as caractersticas das duas divindades se misturassem, definindo o quadro comportamental arquetpico que encontramos na literatura, nos cultos e na iconografia, tanto em termos diacrnicos como sincrnicos. O presente trabalho tem como grande objectivo reavaliar o processo construtivo desta divindade, tentando descortinar os contributos de uma e outra matriz, cujo encontro se deu ainda durante o IV milnio a.C. Produto divino de uma civilizao hbrida, Inanna/Itar desenvolveu a sua mltipla personalidade, ao mesmo tempo que a Mesopotmia procurava acomodar as tradies sumrias e semitas, numa articulao do binmio mltiplo/uno mpar. O exame cruzado dos dados onde a deusa figura, desde os primrdios do seu culto, at aos primeiros sculos do II milnio a.C., poca em que a literatura mesopotmica conheceu a sua fase de ouro, permite-nos evidenciar a sua esfera de aco globalizante, que encontra o seu fio condutor nas relaes de poder. Por outro lado, torna-se possvel descortinar as suas origens, assim como sincretismos e dissociaes divinas, prvias ao advento poltico de Sargo, que cristalizou a simbiose civilizacional e, como tal, religiosa, da Mesopotmia, ao efectivar a primeira unificao do territrio compreendido entre os rios Tigre e Eufrates. Com esta tese pretendemos ainda conciliar expresses religiosas de tempos diferentes, centradas na figura de Inanna/Itar, contrariando a tendncia tradicional de confinar o comportamento e pensamento religiosos do homem mesopotmico, numa moldura cronolgica, definida por balizas polticas. A nossa inteno prende-se, sobretudo, com a identificao do grau de transformaes que a identidade da deusa ter sofrido, a partir do entendimento que a mesma encontra a sua origem e, simultaneamente, reflecte-se na mentalidade dos mesopotmios, cujo norte se encontra numa lgica de mudana em continuidade. Seguindo linhas historiogrficas recentes, a nossa proposta afigura-se como um novo olhar sobre o desenvolvimento de uma das divindades mesopotmicas mais marcante, cujos ecos ressoaram pelos quatro quadrantes da Antiguidade do Mdio Oriente.

In the early nineties, Mark Weiser wrote a series of seminal papers that introduced the concept of Ubiquitous Computing. According to Weiser, computers require too much attention from the user, drawing his focus from the tasks at hand. Instead of being the centre of attention, computers should be so natural that they would vanish into the human environment. Computers become not only truly pervasive but also effectively invisible and unobtrusive to the user. This requires not only for smaller, cheaper and low power consumption computers, but also for equally convenient display solutions that can be harmoniously integrated into our surroundings. With the advent of Printed Electronics, new ways to link the physical and the digital worlds became available. By combining common printing techniques such as inkjet printing with electro-optical functional inks, it is starting to be possible not only to mass-produce extremely thin, flexible and cost effective electronic circuits but also to introduce electronic functionalities into products where it was previously unavailable. Indeed, Printed Electronics is enabling the creation of novel sensing and display elements for interactive devices, free of form factor. At the same time, the rise in the availability and affordability of digital fabrication technologies, namely of 3D printers, to the average consumer is fostering a new industrial (digital) revolution and the democratisation of innovation. Nowadays, end-users are already able to custom design and manufacture on demand their own physical products, according to their own needs. In the future, they will be able to fabricate interactive digital devices with user-specific form and functionality from the comfort of their homes. This thesis explores how task-specific, low computation, interactive devices capable of presenting dynamic visual information can be created using Printed Electronics technologies, whilst following an approach based on the ideals behind Personal Fabrication. Focus is given on the use of printed electrochromic displays as a medium for delivering dynamic digital information. According to the architecture of the displays, several approaches are highlighted and categorised. Furthermore, a pictorial computation model based on extended cellular automata principles is used to programme dynamic simulation models into matrix-based electrochromic displays. Envisaged applications include the modelling of physical, chemical, biological, and environmental phenomena.

The growing need to patrol and survey large maritime and terrestrial areas increased the need to integrate external sensors on aircraft in order to accomplish those patrols at increasingly higher altitudes, longer range and not depending upon vehicle type. The main focus of this work is to elaborate a practical, simple, effective and efficient methodology for the aircraft modification procedure resulting from the integration of an Elec-tro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/IR) turret through a support structure. The importance of the devel-opment of a good methodology relies on the correct management of project variables as time, available resources and project complexity. The key is to deliver a proper tool for a project de-sign team that will be used to create a solution that fulfils all technical, non-technical and certi-fication requirements present in this field of transportation. The created methodology is inde-pendent of two main inputs: sensor model and aircraft model definition, and therefore it is in-tended to deliver the results for different projects besides the one that was presented in this work as a case study. This particular case study presents the development of a structure support for FLIR STAR SAPHIRE III turret integration on the front lower fuselage bulkhead (radome) of the LOCKHEED MARTIN C-130 H. Development of the case study focuses on the study of local structural analysis through the use of Finite Element Method (FEM). Development of this Dissertation resulted in a cooperation between Faculty of Science and Technology - Universidade Nova de Lisboa and the company OGMA - Indstria Aeronutica de Portugal

A argumentao centra-se na histria da produo cenogrfica da segunda metade do sculo XIX em Portugal, propondo um tratamento terico mais abrangente, que desloque o enfoque analtico da pea de arte em si ou do carcter efmero e global da espectacularidade que tem merecido alguma ateno da historiografia contempornea, para uma escala de cultura visual ou mesmo de visualidade, no sentido mais dilatado destas expresses. Discutindo essencialmente a problemtica em torno da imagem teatral como produto do mundo oitocentista analisa-se o potencial cognitivo da srie cenogrfica na sua capacidade de representao e apropriaes ideolgicas. Para esta dialctica concorrem as repercusses epocais do espectculo, designadamente na regulao da vida social, na mediao de processos econmicos, no combate poltico, e sobretudo, em modelos de percepo artstica fundados nos convencionalismos cenogrficos como acontece, por exemplo, na produo decorativa e arquitectnica integradas num particular campo visual ou na teatralidade actuante dos edifcios, cuja essncia, em todos os casos, devedora de uma cultura paradoxalmente centrada nos limites da caixa cnica e na infinitude emotiva do espectacular.

The stylistic categorization of the Estado Novo has been intensely discussed by Portuguese art historians. The square Alameda Dom Afonso Henriques in Lisbon (Alameda) can be seen as paradigmatic for the architecture of power of the Estado Novo. The Alameda forms a gardened valley between two hills. There you find two prominent and highly propagandist buildings: The Instituto Superior Tcnico (IST) and the Fonte Luminosa are dedicated to modern sciences and respectively to the harmonious contribution of nature to the city. The iconography of the Alameda as well as its incorporation into the propagandist use of urban planning in the 1930s and 1940s exemplify the visual politics during Salazarism. Urban planning programs intended to create cities that would preserve the character of a traditional catholic society and at the same time answer to the need to modernize the country and evoke the image of a progressive state. Thus, public buildings and urban squares such as the Alameda contributed to design a corporate image and to the spirit of the regime.

Esta tese de doutoramento tem como campo de estudo o grafismo e a ilustrao produzidos em Portugal durante os anos 40 do sculo XX. Ela foca a sua anlise em quatro reas de investigao: a) publicidade; b) grafismo e ilustrao de jornais, revistas e livros; c) grafismo editorial produzido pelo Secretariado da Propaganda Nacional; d) grafismo de algumas publicaes editadas por ocasio das exposies de Paris (1937), Nova Iorque e So Francisco (1939), e a Exposio do Mundo Portugus (1940). Atravs da pesquisa de fontes primrias jornais, revistas, livros, anncios, cartazes, material publicitrio vrio em conjuo com textos e artigos da poca procurmos fazer uma Histria do Design Grfico em Portugal que tivesse em considerao no s a esttica do material grfico criado mas tambm a conjuntura histrica, econmica, sociolgica e ideolgica em que esse material apareceu. Comparmos o grafismo realizado para as instituies pblicas e aquele feito para as empresas privadas para concluir que h pontos de contacto entre os dois no s por os artistas serem quase sempre os mesmos mas tambm porque o mesmo discurso ideolgico permeava tanto a propaganda do Estado Novo quanto a produo comercial ainda que houvesse a resistncia de outras propostas estticas e imaginrios, como o surrealismo e o neo-realismo. Antnio Ferro, director do Secretariado da Propaganda Nacional, soube aproveitar o talento de um ncleo de artistas para a criao de uma identidade visual para Portugal, uma identidade que sintetizasse elementos da arte popular com um enquadramento moderno. Atravs de mltiplas actividades essa identidade foi sendo desenvolvida e replicada mas nas oportunidades de trabalho e experimentao dadas aos artistas modernistas portugueses que reside o verdadeiro legado de Antnio Ferro para o Design Grfico portugus.

RESUMO - Enquadramento: A infeo por Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) considerada um grave problema de Sade Pblica. causa de infees sintomticas tanto no homem como na mulher, bem como, de infees assintomticas que podem ter consequncias muito graves a longo prazo. A presena de CT sem tratamento aumenta o risco de transmisso do vrus da imunodeficincia humana. Existem vrios estudos publicados de prevalncia da CT por todo o mundo, no entanto, estudos de prevalncia da CT em populaes assintomticas, envolvendo homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) so raros na Europa. Assim, o presente estudo, ao estimar a prevalncia e ao descrever as caratersticas epidemiolgicas e de conduta dos HSH, pretende contribuir para o plano de ao contra as ISTs e VIH na Catalunha, atravs de estratgias concretas para deteo e preveno da CT. Mtodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal de prevalncia da CT em HSH utentes de um servio comunitrio em Barcelona, com recurso a tcnicas de diagnstico de biologia molecular e a um questionrio. Durante Maro e Junho de 2015, foram recrutados 200 voluntrios de um servio comunitrio em Barcelona que foram testados para CT e NG em trs locais anatmicos atravs de uma PCR em tempo real utilizando o ensaio Anyplex CT/NG Real-time Detection. Resultados: O presente estudo permitiu uma caraterizao da situao atual quanto prevalncia e aos fatores de risco associados infeo por CT em HSH. A prevalncia nesta populao especfica foi de 12,6% e os fatores risco associados foram o facto de serem VIH e praticarem sexo anal insertivo/recetivo com parceiro estvel. Concluses: Os resultados obtidos reforam a necessidade do desenvolvimento de estratgias adequadas de controlo e preveno da CT nesta populao de risco, tais como: rastreios frequentes e tratamento dos casos positivos para quebrar a cadeia de transmisso, promoo da sade, educao e notificao dos parceiros sexuais. Tambm demonstram a importncia destes rastreios nos trs locais anatmicos: uretra, reto e faringe.

Nowadays, road accidents are a major public health problem, which increase is forecasted if road safety is not treated properly, dying about 1.2 million people every year around the globe. In 2012, Portugal recorded 573 fatalities in road accidents, on site, revealing the largest decreasing of the European Union for 2011, along with Denmark. Beyond the impact caused by fatalities, it was calculated that the economic and social costs of road accidents weighted about 1.17% of the Portuguese gross domestic product in 2010. Visual Analytics allows the combination of data analysis techniques with interactive visualizations, which facilitates the process of knowledge discovery in sets of large and complex data, while the Geovisual Analytics facilitates the exploration of space-time data through maps with different variables and parameters that are under analysis. In Portugal, the identification of road accident accumulation zones, in this work named black spots, has been restricted to annual fixed windows. In this work, it is presented a dynamic approach based on Visual Analytics techniques that is able to identify the displacement of black spots on sliding windows of 12 months. Moreover, with the use of different parameterizations in the formula usually used to detect black spots, it is possible to identify zones that are almost becoming black spots. Through the proposed visualizations, the study and identification of countermeasures to this social and economic problem can gain new grounds and thus the decision- making process is supported and improved.

Due to advances in information technology (e.g., digital video cameras, ubiquitous sensors), the automatic detection of human behaviors from video is a very recent research topic. In this paper, we perform a systematic and recent literature review on this topic, from 2000 to 2014, covering a selection of 193 papers that were searched from six major scientific publishers. The selected papers were classified into three main subjects: detection techniques, datasets and applications. The detection techniques were divided into four categories (initialization, tracking, pose estimation and recognition). The list of datasets includes eight examples (e.g., Hollywood action). Finally, several application areas were identified, including human detection, abnormal activity detection, action recognition, player modeling and pedestrian detection. Our analysis provides a road map to guide future research for designing automatic visual human behavior detection systems.
