La religión romana en la Bética

El objetivo de esta Tesis Doctoral es dar a conocer los resultados obtenidos a partir de la recopilación y posterior investigación de las dos fuentes principales relacionadas con la religión romana en la Bética, es decir, los testimonios arqueológicos (escultura) y los epigráficos, con el fin de valorar la forma en que se manifiesta la religiosidad romana en esta provincia, a la vez que, con los datos obtenidos, dar una idea lo más completa posible de la sociedad romana en muy diversas facetas, encuadrando estos resultados entre los siglos I y IV d.C. La documentación arqueológica, las fuentes epigráficas y la numerosa bibliografía que existe sobre estos temas, son los pilares en los cuales nos hemos basado para esta Tesis. Aunque se ha intentado recoger toda la información disponible sobre epigrafía y escultura y aun siendo la epigrafía una fuente fundamental para los estudios de la Hispania antigua, se ha procurado destacar que la escultura es una fuente más novedosa, aunque también más difícil de evaluar, y que a través de ella se puede dar un enfoque distinto del tema objeto de nuestra investigación, al poder contar con un número muy importante de piezas realizadas en distintos materiales. El método para conseguir estos objetivos ha sido la confección de dos Catálogos, uno epigráfico y otro escultórico, en los cuales, para tener una visión lo más amplia posible, se han recogido todas las manifestaciones de culto, es decir, las esculturas y objetos relacionados con la devoción y los epígrafes. A partir del material compilado se han elaborado siete capítulos dedicados a todas las divinidades halladas, agrupándolas en base a sus funciones más relevantes. Se completa el estudio con una serie de mapas correspondientes a diferentes dioses y dos mapas exhaustivos en los cuales figuran por separado todas las inscripciones y esculturas descubiertas, situándolas en las ciudades donde han aparecido y contabilizando el número total de ejemplares escultóricos y epigráficos de cada una de las deidades localizadas, con el propósito de poder conocer, dentro de lo posible, el significado de dicha ubicación, consignando, a su vez, los conventus, a fin de dejar constancia de la concentración de testimonios en cada uno de ellos...

Mudança de rota

Fundado num estudo de caso sobre a TAP Air Portugal, a empresa pública nacional do sector da aeronáutica, este artigo pretende comunicar o binómio constituído por processos planeados e emergentes na gestão da mudança organizacional. Nas últimas décadas, a TAP Air Portugal vinha acumulando prejuízos constantes, desmotivação nos seus colaboradores e instabilidade laboral permanente. Com a chegada de uma nova equipa de gestão liderada por Fernando Pinto em 2000, o cenário parece ter-se invertido. O papel do líder, o estilo de gestão, as tácticas de negociação e o fomento de uma visão corporativa são debatidos. Através de um plano minuciosamente projectado e comunicado a toda a organização, observou-se uma mudança cultural alicerçada em objectivos comummente partilhados. Restaurada a confiança dos colaboradores, a empresa retomou a rota desejada.

Síntese, caracterização e aplicação de LaSBA-15 e como catalisador para obtenção de biodiesel de soja via rota etílica

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel, renewable, biodegradable and nontoxic. The transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fat with alcohol is most common form of production of this fuel. The procedure for production of biodiesel occurs most commonly through the transesterification reaction in which catalysts are used to accelerate and increase their income and may be basic, acid or enzyme. The use of homogeneous catalysis requires specific conditions and purification steps of the reaction products (alkyl ester and glycerol) and removal of the catalyst at the end of the reaction. As an alternative to improve the yield of the transesterification reaction, minimize the cost of production is that many studies are being conducted with the application of heterogeneous catalysis. The use of nano-structured materials as catalysts in the production of biodiesel is a biofuel alternative for a similar to mineral diesel. Although slower, can esterify transesterified triglycerides and free fatty acids and suffer little influence of water, which may be present in the raw material. This study aimed at the synthesis, characterization and application of nano-structured materials as catalysts in the transesterification reaction of soybean oil to produce biodiesel by ethylic route. The type material containing SBA-15 mesoporous lanthanum embedded within rightly Si / La = 50 was used catalyst. Solid samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and desorption. For the transesterification process, we used a molar ratio of 20:1 alcohol and oil with 0.250 g of catalyst at 60°C and times of 6 hours of reaction. It was determined the content of ethyl esters by H-NMR analysis and gas chromatography. It was found that the variable of conversion obtained was 80%, showing a good catalytic activity LaSBA-15 in the transesterification of vegetable oils via ethylic route

Rota's universal operators and invariant subspaces in Hilbert spaces

A Hilbert space operator is called universal (in the sense of Rota) if every operator on the Hilbert space is similar to a multiple of the restriction of the universal operator to one of its invariant subspaces. We exhibit an analytic Toeplitz operator whose adjoint is universal in the sense of Rota and commutes with a quasi-nilpotent injective compact operator with dense range. In particular, this new universal operator invites an approach to the Invariant Subspace Problem that uses properties of operators that commute with the universal operator.

Res iudicata pro veritate accipitur? Le finalitá della procedura civile romana fra principio dispositivo e principio inquisitorio

I compilatori di Giustiniano inserirono la formula Res iudicata pro veritate accipitur, utilizzata da Ulpiano D.1.5.25 come motivazione, nel passo D.50.17.207 delle loro regulae iuris antiqui. Essi non vi inserirono però il principio opposto, di importanza pratica notevolmente maggiore, Res inter alios iudicata aliis non praeiudicat.

“Macau e as Filipinas no século XVI-XIX: “A Rota Maritima da seda “”,

No período que decorre entre o século XVI e o início do século XIX, com o alargamento e ligação das rotas marítimas registaram-se grandes mudanças na rede do comércio internacional. Nesta conjuntura histórica a “rota marítima da seda” contribuiu para a concretização do intercâmbio e comércio direto entre a China e o Ocidente e para a evolução da cidade de Macau e o gradual aumento da procura de produtos de seda chineses no mercado internacional e da prata vinda da América. Com base nas ligações entre Macau e Manila pretendemos dar um contributo para a compreensão da complexidade e amplitude das redes comerciais que criam um comércio à escala global.

Aprendizagem das ciências em espaços não-formais: visita de estudo na rota das energias renováveis

Nos programas actuais defende-se um ensino contextualizado numa perspectiva CTSA - Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente, e a diversificação de estratégias e actividades é recomendada. Numa perspectiva construtivista, a aprendizagem fora da sala de aula, aprendizagem em espaços não-formais - as visitas de estudo - são consideradas como uma das estratégias com elevado potencial pedagógico. No presente estudo foram realizadas e avaliadas duas visitas de estudo no âmbito da disciplina de Física e Química do 10° ano de escolaridade, tendo a primeira sido feita como estudo-piloto ao Centro de Ciência Viva de Constância e uma segunda como estudo principal, Na Rota das Energias Renováveis, à Barragem do Alqueva, Central Solar Fotovoltaica da Amareleja, Parque de Natureza de Noudar e Herdade do Esporão. Realizou-se uma pré-visita aos locais a visitar, estabeleceram-se contactos privilegiados com as instituições visitadas, preparam-se materiais didácticos, um Roteiro e um Guia de Campo para cada local visitado, foram elaborados e apresentados aos alunos questionários sobre o seu grau de satisfação com as visitas e realizaram-se ainda entrevistas em grupo com alguns alunos para recolher as suas impressões. Os alunos realizaram trabalhos de divulgação da visita tendo sido disponibilizada, no "site" da escola, informação detalhada sobre a visita. Neste estudo analisou-se em que medida uma aprendizagem contextualizada num espaço não-formal foi promotora de um envolvimento produtivo dos alunos. As aprendizagens realizadas situaram-se no domínio cognitivo, social ou atitudinal e os materiais didácticos, como o Guia de Campo tiveram um papel relevante para essas aprendizagens. A motivação dos alunos para a disciplina melhorou durante e após a visita. A colaboração com as instituições visitadas mostrou-se importante no estabelecimento de uma interface entre o espaço formal e o não-formal. A realização de visitas de estudo é uma componente importante dos curricula e deve ser encarada com naturalidade a sua realização frequente, como parte de uma estratégia para motivar os alunos para a disciplina e aumentar a sua capacidade de aprender os conteúdos. ABSTRACT: Nowadays programs defend teaching model that follows a perspective based in Science, Technology, Society and Environment, with special focus in the diversification of strategies. Outside of classroom teaching, in non-formal spaces, as in field trips, is considered one of the strategies with the highest pedagogic potential. ln this study, two field trips were made based on the Physics and Chemistry program for the 1Oth grade, with the first one as the pilot visit to Centro de Ciência Viva de Constância, and the second one as the main study, ln the Path of Renewable Energies, to Alqueva’s dam, Amareleja's Solar Photovoltaic Center, Noudar's Nature Park and Herdade do Esporão. A pre-visit was made for each one of the places to visit, contacts were made, materials were created, an itinerary and a Field Guide for both field trips, satisfaction questionaries were made to the students and the teacher also interviewed some students for appreciations about the visit. The students created posters about the field trip, and information was also showed in the school website. With this study, the benefits of a contextualized learning in a non-formal space were demonstrated. These acquisitions of knowledge were in various domains, such as cognition, social behavior and the didactic materials had a relevant role in these acquirements. Moreover, the students' motivation for the subject in question improved significantly during and after the field trip. The cooperation with the visited institutions revealed to be important in the establishment of an interface between the formal and the non-formal spaces. Making field trips is an important component in the curricula and should be encouraged and seen as a natural part of a strategy of motivation of the students for a certain subject, increasing its ability to learn matters.

A villa romana, entre a construção literária e a realidade construída

Um dos termos mais correntemente utilizados na investigação arqueológica contemporânea reside no conceito villa romana. No entanto, quando analisamos a utilização deste termo na época que o criou, deparamos com algumas situações contrastantes a epi- gra a não o menciona, pois não existem ocorrências do termo; na literatura as de nições do vocábulo são muito variáveis, e por ve- zes paradoxais; e na investigação arqueológica encontramos uma imensa variedade de sítios a que chamamos villa. Neste estudo procuramos perceber o modo como surgem as menções a villae na literatura latina e a evolução do conceito.

Do Mar ao Montado: Evidências da utilização e exploração de cortiça na Lusitânia Romana

A identificação de diversas tampas de cortiça, associadas a ânforas de produção lusitana em naufrágios romanos no Mediterrâneo Ociden- tal, desperta questões relacionadas com a utilização e a exploração da cortiça em Portugal na época romana. O presente artigo visa introduzir essas questões e apresentar, de forma sucinta, as primeiras evidências históricas e arqueológicas de que dispomos.

Bolted beam-column moment connections between cold-formed steel members

ABSTRACT Twelve beam-to-column connections between cold-formed steel sections consisting of three beam depths and four connection types were tested in isolation to investigate their behavior based on strength, stiffness and ductility. Resulting moment-rotation curves indicate that the tested connections are efficient moment connections where moment capacities ranged from about 65% to 100% of the connected beam capac-ity. With a moment capacity of greater than 80% of connected beam member capacity, some of the connec-tions can be regarded as full strength connections. Connections also possessed sufficient ductility with rota-tions of 20 mRad at failure although some connections were too ductile with rotations in excess of 30 mRad. Generally, most of the connections possess the strength and ductility to be considered as partial strength con-nections. The ultimate failures of almost all of the connections were due to local buckling of the compression web and flange elements of the beam closest to the connection.

Development and evaluation of a program to improve clinician and patient communication during a telehealth consultation : C.R.I.S.P. Telehealth

Introduction: The delivery of health care in the 21st century will look like no other in the past. The fast paced technological advances that are being made will need to transition from the information age into clinical practice. The phenomenon of e-Health is the over-arching form of information technology and telehealth is one arm of that phenomenon. The uptake of telehealth both in Australia and overseas, has changed the face of health service delivery to many rural and remote communities for the better, removing what is known as the tyranny of distance. Many studies have evaluated the satisfaction and cost-benefit analysis of telehealth across the organisational aspects as well as the various adaptations of clinical pathways and this is the predominant focus of most studies published to date. However, whilst comments have been made by many researchers about the need to improve and attend to the communication and relationship building aspects of telehealth no studies have examined this further. The aim of this study was to identify the patient and clinician experiences, concerns, behaviours and perceptions of the telehealth interaction and develop a training tool to assist these clinicians to improve their interaction skills. Methods: A mixed methods design combining quantitative (survey analysis and data coding) and qualitative (interview analysis) approaches was adopted. This study utilised four phases to firstly qualitatively explore the needs of clients (patients) and clinicians within a telehealth consultation then designed, developed, piloted and quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the telehealth communication training program. Qualitative data was collected and analysed during Phase 1 of this study to describe and define the missing 'communication and rapport building' aspects within telehealth. This data was then utilised to develop a self-paced communication training program that enhanced clinicians existing skills, which comprised of Phase 2 of this study to develop the interactive program. Phase 3 included evaluating the training program with 26 clinicians and results were recorded pre and post training, whilst phase 4 was the pilot for future recommendations of this training program using a patient group within a Queensland Health setting at two rural hospitals. Results: Comparisons of pre and post training data on 1) Effective communication styles, 2) Involvement in communication training package, 3) satisfaction pre and post training, and 4) health outcomes pre and post training indicated that there were differences between pre and post training in relation to effective communication style, increased satisfaction and no difference in health outcomes between pre and post training for this patient group. The post training results revealed over half of the participants (N= 17, 65%) were more responsive to non-verbal cues and were better able to reflect and respond to looks of anxiousness and confusion from a 'patient' within a telehealth consultation. It was also found that during post training evaluations, clinicians had enhanced their therapeutic communication with greater detail to their own body postures, eye contact and presentation. There was greater time spent looking at the 'patient' with an increase of 35 second intervals of direct eye contact and less time spent looking down at paperwork which decreased by 20 seconds. Overall 73% of the clinicians were satisfied with the training program and 61% strongly agreed that they recognised areas of their communication that needed improving during a telehealth consultation. For the patient group there was significant difference post training in rapport with a mean score from 42 (SD = 28, n = 27) to 48 (SD = 5.9, n = 24). For communication comfort of the patient group there was a significant difference between the pre and post training scores t(10) = 27.9, p = .002, which meant that overall the patients felt less inhibited whilst talking to the clinicians and more understood. Conclusion: The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of good patient-clinician communication and unmet training needs for telehealth consultations. The study developed a training program that was specific for telehealth consultations and not dependent on a 'trainer' to deliver the content. In light of the existing literature this is a first of its kind and a valuable contribution to the research on this topic. It was found that the training program was effective in improving the clinician's communication style and increased the satisfaction of patient's within an e-health environment. This study has identified some historical myths that telehealth cannot be part of empathic patient centred care due to its technology tag.
