Plano de comunicação: hábitos alimentares dos jovens portugueses

O intuito deste projecto de investigação é o de fazer um plano de comunicação para alterar o comportamento dos jovens face aos hábitos alimentares. O público-alvo desta comunicação são jovens entre os 16 e 21 anos. O problema em estudo neste trabalho são os hábitos alimentares dos jovens portugueses, tendo como objetivo a melhoria por parte dos jovens dos hábitos alimentares. Uma vez que estamos a alterar comportamentos e atitudes, este plano de comunicação insere-se no âmbito do marketing social. O presente projecto foi desenvolvido em três fases: primeiro foi feita uma revisão da literatura para perceber quais os hábitos alimentares dos jovens e o que já foi feito de comunicação para esta causa. Em seguida foi efectuado um questionário aos jovens para que fosse possível perceber o que consomem, as noções que têm de alimentação saudável e como se deve comunicar sobre hábitos alimentares com o target definido. Por fim, realizou-se uma estratégia de comunicação com base nas respostas dos inquiridos. A estratégia de comunicação é o mais adequada possível para os jovens, a fim de se conseguir passar a mensagem. De acordo com os resultados obtidos podemos perceber que muitos dos inquiridos não têm a melhor alimentação, contudo a maioria tem noção do que são bons hábitos alimentares. Relativamente aos meios para passar a mensagem, os inquiridos elegeram aqueles mais direcionados aos jovens. O resultado deste projecto foi um plano de comunicação com o objetivo dos jovens alterarem os seus hábitos alimentares. Este plano teve grande enfoque na publicidade, nas relações públicas e nos social media.

Level monitoring system for waste oil containers: an EPS@ISEP project

Waste oil recycling companies play a very important role in our society. Competition among companies is tough and process optimization is essential for survival. By equipping oil containers with a level monitoring system that periodically reports the level and alerts when it reaches the preset threshold, the oil recycling companies are able to streamline the oil collection process and, thus, reduce the operation costs while maintaining the quality of service. This paper describes the development of this level monitoring system by a team of four students from different engineering backgrounds and nationalities. The team conducted a study of the state of the art, draw marketing and sustainable development plans and, finally, designed and implemented a prototype that continuously measures the container content level and sends an alert message as soon as it reaches the preset capacity.

Desenvolvimento e Estratégia na Orçamentação: Estudo de Caso

O relatório inserido na Unidade Curricular de DIPRE do Mestrado em Engenharia Civil do ISEP e desenvolvido no âmbito do estágio curricular realizado na COGEDIR, Gestão de Projetos SA, tem como objetivo caraterizar o mercado nacional da construção civil, os procedimentos da orçamentação, analisando os seus processos no âmbito dos concursos públicos em Portugal. Deste modo, o relatório inicia-se com o fundamento da importância da orçamentação na construção civil e a caraterização do mercado da construção no momento atual de crise e as dificuldades dos empreiteiros em obter empreitadas. Em seguida foi realizado um levantamento ao estudo da arte sobre os temas de custos e orçamentos, e ainda uma abordagem as ferramentas de orçamentação. Depois de analisada toda a metodologia de orçamentação, são caraterizados os processos das empresas do grupo para o ato de orçamentação. Nessa linha foi ainda realizado um estudo de vários procedimentos de concurso já finalizados para servir como base de sustentação para uma mudança estratégica a implementar nas empresas. Neste estudo ficou bem patente a tendência dos valores das propostas apresentadas pelos vários concorrentes, nos diferentes procedimentos. Com base nestes elementos é feita uma avaliação simplificada dos valores que os empreiteiros possivelmente apresentam para os diferentes tipos de concursos. Dessa análise foi possível definir a estratégia a implementar pelas empresas. Definida a estratégia a seguir pelas empresas, são alvo de estudo de caso dois procedimentos de realidades distintas. Um relativo ao processo de concurso de uma empreitada de construção e o outro a um concurso de prestação de serviços. Neste capítulo, são abordadas situações reais de processos de concurso, desde a consulta do procedimento, estudo das condicionantes, composição de custos, elaboração da documentação e entrega das propostas.

Viva@Matemática project: a different way to see math

Viva@Mat is a project developed by four Math teachers from the School of Industrial Studies and Management (ESEIG) that was born with the fundamental objective of engaging ESEIG students with different math backgrounds in Math challenging activities. Some of these activities were transformed into real palpable materials and others into small interactive ones, being the great majority of them proposed by ESEIG’ students themselves. This small project rapidly grew into something we didn’t expect – it did flow over the walls of our institution to the general involving community – specifically to pre-university schools through the Viva@Math Exhibits – Orange, Blue and Green (the fourth, the Purple one is still in development). Nowadays, Viva@Math Exhibits – the public face of the Project – are itinerant and have been travelling between several, and different institutions (pre-university schools, preparatory schools, libraries, among others), around ESEIG and IPP area of influence and having registered visitors/participants of all ages. In this article we will describe the Viva@Math Project, its different activities that are categorized in some “great groups” like Numerical Trivia, Logic Activities and Mental Calculation, Puzzles, Geometric Curiosities, Magic Tricks, among others, designed to challenge students to use the underlying logical-mathematical reasoning to any ordinary and everyday activity. We will give specific and concrete examples of some of the activities developed and, also, reproduce of the general stimulating feedback the Project receives from the enrolled “actors” (teachers, students and their relatives, institutions, among others). We feel that this Project has become a small “bridge” between the pre-university schools and Higher Education Institutions (HEI), in trying to shorten the “gap” between the institutions of different levels of education and bring them to work together.

New Opportunities for Development Journalism: Enlarging the Public Sphere with ICTs

The present study examines new opportunities offered by the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance the development journalism practice, in order to enlarge the public sphere and empower ordinary people to participate more actively in public debate on issues affecting their development. The analysis of the achievements and challenges faced by 32 radio stations under the UNESCO project “Empowering Local Radios with ICTs” offers an overview of the introduction of ICTs in different contexts, within and among seven countries in Sub- Saharan Africa. Even though the lack of ICTs access and knowledge is still a concern in the developing world, especially in rural areas, these new tools can be adapted to each context and foster a more pluralistic and participative media in order to address people’s needs and promote social change.

O contrato de Project Finance

Currently, Angola portrays a notorious economic growth and due to recent innovative legislations, it has become the major investment attracting pole, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, having, thus, an extraordinary potentiality for a rapid and sustainable development, likely to place her in outstanding positions in the world economic ranking. Yet, such economic growth entails demanding levels of intensive investment in infrastructure, what has been reported of the Angolan Government to be unable to respond to, save if recurring to very high index of external debt, poisoning, in this way, the future budgeting of the country. Due to these infrastructure investment shortages, the cost of production remains highly onerous and the cost of life extremely unaffordable. On this account, the current study disserts about the contract of Project Finance; an alternative finance resource given as a viable solution for the private financing of infrastructure, aiming to demonstrate that such contractual figure, likewise the experience of several emerging economies and others, is a contract bid framework to take into account in today’s world. It refers to a financing technique – through which the Government may satisfy a common need (for example, the construction of a public domain or public servicing), without having to pay neither offer any collateral – based on a complex legal-financial engineering, arranged throughout a coalition of typical and atypical agreements, whereby it is mandatory to look back at the basic concepts of corporate law. More than just a simple financial study, the dissertation at stake analyses the nature and legal framework of Project Finance, which is a legally atypical and innominate contract, concluding that there is a relevant need for regulating and devoting a special legal regime in the Angolan jurisdiction for this promising legal form in the contemporary corporate finance world.

Paper 2: EUROCAT public health indicators for congenital anomalies in Europe.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to present the specific public health indicators recently developed by EUROCAT that aim to summarize important aspects of the public health impact of congenital anomalies in a few quantitative measures. METHODS: The six indicators are: (1) congenital anomaly perinatal mortality, (2) congenital anomaly prenatal diagnosis prevalence, (3) congenital anomaly termination of pregnancy, (4) Down syndrome livebirth prevalence, (5) congenital anomaly pediatric surgery, and (6) neural tube defects (NTD) total prevalence. Data presented for this report pertained to all cases (livebirths, fetal deaths, or stillbirths after 20 weeks of gestation and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomaly [TOPFA]) of congenital anomaly from 27 full member registries of EUROCAT that could provide data for at least 3 years during the period 2004 to 2008. Prevalence of anomalies, prenatal diagnosis, TOPFA, pediatric surgery, and perinatal mortality were calculated per 1000 births. RESULTS: The overall perinatal mortality was approximately 1.0 per 1000 births for EUROCAT registries with almost half due to fetal and the other half due to first week deaths. There were wide variations in perinatal mortality across the registries with the highest rates observed in Dublin and Malta, registries in countries where TOPFA are illegal, and in Ukraine. The overall perinatal mortality across EUROCAT registries slightly decreased between 2004 and 2008 due to a decrease in first week deaths. The prevalence of TOPFA was fairly stable at about 4 per 1000 births. There were variations in livebirth prevalence of cases typically requiring surgery across the registries; however, for most registries this prevalence was between 3 and 5 per 1000 births. Prevalence of NTD decreased by about 10% from 1.05 in 2004 to 0.94 per 1000 in 2008. CONCLUSION: It is hoped that by publishing the data on EUROCAT indicators, the public health importance of congenital anomalies can be clearly summarized to policy makers, the need for accurate data from registries emphasized, the need for primary prevention and treatment services highlighted, and the impact of current services measured.
