Introdução: Os maus tratos a crianças correspondem a qualquer acção ou omissão não acidental, que ameace a sua segurança, dignidade e correcto desenvolvimento biopsicossocial. Pretendeu-se avaliar o seu impacto no internamento de Pediatria. Metodologia: Estudo retrospectivo dos doentes internados no Serviço de Pediatria de um hospital terciário entre 1/10/10 e 30/09/11, sinalizados ao Núcleo Hospitalar de Apoi...
Este trabalho inseriu-se no projeto de investigação: Trajetórias do Envelhecimento: estudo dos fatores preditores da demência e do envelhecimento saudável ; Objectives: Explore the psychometric properties of a sleep quality index to be used with the elderly population. Methods: 99 elderly (mean age, M=78.65; SD= 6.92; range=60-95) under social responses in institutions from Coimbra Council were assessed throu...
Contexto: A fluência verbal (FV) envolve processos complexos e as suas tarefas têm sido um bom indicador de declínio cognitivo, constituindo um forte preditor de demência. A literatura indica que se lhe associam diferentes fatores, mas faltam estudos com idosos portugueses, especialmente institucionalizados, nestes domínios e estudos que definam os aspetos que se lhe associam. Objetivos: Analisar: 1) as pontuaç...
This paper describes research carried out to develop a parametric urban shape grammar for the Zaouiat Lakhdar quarter of the Medina of Marrakech, in Morocco. The goal is to create the basis for a system that could capture some features of the existing urban fabric and apply them in contemporary urban planning.
This paper describes a studio experiment developed with the aim of exploring the design and fabrication of complex architectural forms using ceramic elements. History has examples of double-sided curved forms built in ceramics. Such examples would not fulfill contemporary functional and aesthetic principles, neither would they be feasible or cost-effective considering current construction standards. There are r...
Este texto mostra, através de três obras no domínio da arquitectura, engenharia e escultura a afinidade existente entre a criação de conceitos e a invenção de processos tecnológicos que os materializam.
This paper presents a new generative design system to be used by architects in early to intermediate stages of design in order to help improve the environmental performance of buildings. The system was applied to a building designed by Alvaro Siza , to test its capability to handle complex architectural designs and to generate solutions within given criteria.
A new generative design system based on a genetic algorithm is tested within the framework of Alvaro Siza’s School of Architecture at Oporto, Portugal. The system works over a detailed three-dimensional description of the building and uses natural lighting and overall environmental performance as objective functions to guide the generation of solutions. This paper researches the encoding of architectural design...
