Termografia de infravermelhos para análise de humidade em paredes – ensaios preliminares e perspetivas futuras
Authors: Dafico L.C.M. , Barreira E. , Almeida R.M.S.F. , Vicente R.S.
Published: January 2024

Defeitos relacionados à humidade representam 70% das patologias reportadas em edificações, comprometendo a durabilidade de soluções e componentes e a médio prazo o conforto dos utilizadores. A termografia de infravermelhos (TIV) é uma técnica que possui grande potencial para mapear a humidade em edificações, mas carece de critérios para análises quantitativas que correlacionem diferenças de temperatura superficial com o teor de humidade. Apesar dos recentes avanços na utilização de métodos computacionais e técnicas de ensaio para automatizar a deteção de defeitos em edificações, o uso destes para análise de problemas associados à presença de humidade não está consolidado. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de ensaios preliminares realizados com a TIV e o método gravimétrico para avaliar a correlação entre o gradiente de temperatura e o teor de humidade de alvenarias e analisar o gradiente térmico de regiões húmidas em diferentes condições ambientais. Análises estatísticas mostraram que a ordem de magnitude do gradiente de temperatura que indica altos teores de humidade é substancialmente diferente nos cenários analisados. Também são apontadas as limitações do uso da técnica e as indicações de pesquisas futuras que podem ser conduzidas para automatizar a identificação de defeitos relacionados à humidade em edificações, reduzindo o grau de subjetividade no diagnóstico de defeitos.

Authors: Junior I. , Da Silva P. R. , Evangelista L.
Published: January 2024

Neste artigo, pretende-se avaliar a viabilidade de produzir argamassas auto-compactáveis (AAC) com recurso a óxido de grafeno (OG). Será avaliado o desempenho de diversas argamassas em que a pasta ligante tradicional, composta com cimento Portland (C) e cinzas volantes das centrais termoeléctricas (CV), será reforçada pelo OG e estabelecidas as relações constitutivas que permitam a futura utilização deste tipo de material sem reservas quanto ao desempenho esperado. Actualmente, a reparação e reabilitação de estruturas de betão tem um papel de destaque na indústria da construção e as AAC desempenham um papel vital nesses trabalhos. O cimento, assim como os demais constituintes destas AAC, devem ser cuidadosamente seleccionados, a fim de se obter uma composição adequada com uma mistura granular tão compacta quanto possível e com bom desempenho tanto no estado fresco, como no estado endurecido. O OG é muito reactivo, devido essencialmente à sua elevada superfície específica e apresenta elevado potencial na melhoria das propriedades dessas AAC, principalmente ao nível do seu comportamento mecânico. Desse modo, o presente trabalho tem como principal objectivo avaliar o desempenho das AAC, tanto no estado fresco (auto-compactabilidade) como no estado endurecido (comportamento mecânico e durabilidade), em misturas binárias e ternárias de C, CV e OG. Foram realizadas 6 misturas, nomeadamente: [100%C]; [100%C+0.02%OG]; [100%C+0.06%OG]; [70%C+30%CV]; [70%C+30%CV+0.02%OG]; [70%C+30%CV+0.06%OG]. Os resultados obtidos permitiram verificar que a utilização de OG contribuiu para o decréscimo das propriedades das AAC no estado fresco. No entanto, os resultados obtidos demonstram indicadores promissores no que respeita ao comportamento mecânico das misturas estudadas.

Published: January 2024

Considerando as metas europeias para a eficiência energética e descarbonização, sem comprometer o conforto térmico, é necessário definir soluções de climatização mais eficientes e sustentáveis, nas vertentes da conceção, do uso de materiais e ainda da eficiência de sistemas. A melhoria das propriedades térmicas das argamassas utilizadas nos sistemas de pavimento radiante é uma estratégia promissora para o aumento da eficiência térmica e energética destes sistemas que têm ganho quota de mercado não só no norte e centro da Europa, bem como na América do Norte. A eficiência térmica e energética dos sistemas de pavimento radiante hidráulicos é dependente da geometria e constituição das camadas, dos materiais empregues e das condições de operação, tendo grande impacto as propriedades termofísicas da argamassa utilizada para envolver as tubagens. Numa perspetiva de valorização de um resíduo industrial como contributo específico para a sustentabilidade na construção, é objeto de estudo deste trabalho a incorporação de um Agregado Siderúrgico Inerte para a Construção (ASIC) como substituto parcial do agregado natural de uma argamassa fluída autonivelante para melhorar o seu desempenho em sistemas de pavimento radiante. Para além da caracterização térmica e mecânica de argamassas com diferentes teores de ASIC, o desempenho das argamassas neste tipo de aplicação foi também aferido através de um modelo numérico calibrado.
Atualizações de Revisão de Preços comparadas com custos reais de mercado(s) dos materiais: Estudo de Caso
Authors: De Oliveira R.A.F. , Abreu M.I. , Lopes J.
Published: January 2024

O controlo de custos de empreitadas exige metodologias de gestão cada vez mais ajustadas às especificidades das respetivas obras. Os consideráveis aumentos de custos de materiais, causados pela atual conjuntura de mercado global, exigem tomadas de decisão ajustadas à realidade. A revisão de preços aplicável às empreitadas de construção tem em consideração a atualização de preços com base nos índices atualizados de materiais, mão-de-obra e de equipamentos, onde, por vezes, não compensam a efetiva subida desses preços. A recente legislação (Decreto-Lei 36/2022) que alterou o regime jurídico de revisão de preços contempla a possibilidade de os cocontratantes interessados apresentarem correção ou alteração da fórmula de revisão de preços, quando a apresentada esteja desajustada às especificidades da empreitada ou quando a mesma esteja omissa no caderno de encargos. O artigo envolve a simulação de um caso real de uma obra onde foi aplicada revisão de preços, fazendo-se a comparação entre a compensação retribuída ao empreiteiro atendendo ao preço de determinados materiais na data considerada base de cálculo, e a resultante da efetiva subida de preços desses materiais, sob a forma de diferentes cenários de revisão com base na recente legislação. Este estudo demonstra que, mantendo as fórmulas que servem de base ao cálculo da revisão de preços, o empreiteiro pode ter retribuições que podem ser suficientes para compensar as eventuais subidas de preços de mercado. Em oposição, a utilização de determinados ajustamentos da fórmula-tipo de revisão de preços pode revelar retribuições superiores aos custos reais de mercado dos materiais.

Published: January 2024

A utilização mista de materiais baseia-se no aproveitamento do comportamento mecânico específico de cada material. A utilização de estruturas mistas em aço e betão tem vindo a crescer e mostra-se eficiente tanto na construção de novas edificações quanto na reabilitação. A procura pelo desenvolvimento sustentável na construção civil está diretamente relacionada com a racionalização da utilização de recursos minerais em conjunto com a redução do desperdício e o aproveitamento otimizado das estruturas. Com este intuito, procura-se desenvolver soluções construtivas que facilitem a reabilitação de construções existentes e sistemas construtivos com alto desempenho em termos de vida útil. Este estudo está voltado para o tema da sustentabilidade na medida em que se pretende uma melhor compreensão dos fenómenos associados à durabilidade dos materiais e componentes do sistema construtivo misto em aço e betão e se procura por soluções mais duradouras e otimizadas. Neste trabalho, pretende-se aprofundar o conhecimento de sistemas mistos de aço e betão, onde são utilizados perfis metálicos enformados a frio e galvanizados, em combinação com diferentes composições de betão, utilizando adesivos estruturais na ligação entre estes componentes. Neste contexto, pretende-se realçar os processos de degradação e a sua influência no comportamento global dos elementos mistos analisados. Foram realizados ensaios em elementos estruturais em aço enformado a frio colados a elementos em betão, com a finalidade de avaliar a durabilidade dessas estruturas quando expostas a condições ambientais desfavoráveis. Os resultados obtidos mostram que, embora em alguns casos a degradação afete parcialmente a capacidade resistente dos elementos, em outros casos, este tipo de sistema construtivo pode ser utilizado mantendo a capacidade resistente esperada dos elementos constituintes.

Toxocariasis is an infectious disease caused by Toxocara sp. in cats that lead to deterioration of the condition and can even cause death, especially in kittens. Pyrantel pamoate is an anthelmintic that is currently being abandoned for toxocariasis. The purpose of this paper is to report the success of toxocariasis treatment in a cat using pyrantel pamoate. Female domestic cat, 3 months old, weighing 1.3 kg suffering diarrhea was used in this study. The cat examined including a physical examination, followed by laboratory examination of fecal and blood samples. The results showed the cat's body condition was thin, eye was dirty, anemic mucous membranes, dull hair/loss, and diarrhea with watery stool consistency. The cat examination revealed the presence of Toxocara sp. egg as much as 2,400 EPG in fecal sample, and the results of blood tests found that the cat had normochromic normocytic anemia. The cat was diagnosed toxocariasis with dubious prognosis. A cat treated with kaolin-pectin with 1-2 ml/kg BW orally 2 times a day for 3 days, multivitamin injection at a dose of 0.5 ml intramuscularly, and the anthelmintic pyrantel pamoate at a dose of 20mg/kg BW orally once. After 28 days of treatment, the cat was declared healthy based on better physical conditions, no diarrhea, no worm eggs in the fecal sample, and did not anemia. It concluded that cats with toxocariasis successfully cured by administering the anthelmintic pyrantel pamoate, so this drug is still recommended for the treatment of toxocariasis in cats.

At Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University’s agronomy field in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a study was carried out from July to December 2019 to determine the suppressing capacity of floating weeds in T. aman rice (Oryza sativa L.). The experiment consisted of two factors, namely, rice varieties (three), including Tulshimala, BR11(Mukta), and Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) hybrid dhan6, and weed management (five), including weedy check (control), integrated weed management (IWM) (Pretilachlor 6% + pyrazosulfuron 0.15% and one hand weeding), spreading of Pistia stratiotes, Lemna minor, and Salvinia molesta in 0.5 m2 area in a split-plot design with three replications. The ranking of the relative rate of spreading over the experiment was L. minor > S. molesta > P. stratiotes. A total of six weed species representing five families were found from the transplanting to the later stage of rice growth, where the occurrence of weed infestation related to rice variety and crop growth. BRRI hybrid dhan6 significantly suppressed weeds in related plots. Although weed biomass was significantly reduced, the morphological and biomass characteristics of T. aman rice varieties got disadvantages when grown with P. stratiotes and S. molesta. Cultivation of BRRI hybrid dhan6 and weed control through IWM gave the highest grain yield (5.92 t ha-1). However, the spreading of L. minor facilitated optimal weed control, and good yields were harvested without significant differences, irrespective of varieties. Therefore, competitive weed variety should be considered along with the spreading of L. minor to reduce herbicide loads in the environment and to the evolution of cross-resistant weed populations.
Varieties of volatility

This article explores the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of volatility and their implications for cultural analysis in a range of fields. From quantitative finance, it takes the notion of ‘delta-hedging’, the suspension or neutralization of directionality to get access to volatility, and applies this to qualitative areas such as surfing, dance, cinema, and language.
Volatile properties: A Modest Proposal revisited
Authors: Vermeir Katleen , Heiremans Ronny
Published: January 2024

In our 2018 film, A Modest Proposal, we proposed to financialize the assets of public museums, their collections, and buildings, and distribute the generated values for the benefit of the producers of those values: the artist community. Reality seems to have caught up with our proposal. In the wake of the pandemic, public museums started to sell NFTs of their master pieces. But this did not inspire any new form of mutualization. In this text, we question whether blockchain infrastructures can be considered a public good. The individualistic logics that pervade the crypto sphere consider human relations in transactional terms and the enforcement of property rights as the only valuable governance principle, defining property as the basis for representation in many of the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). The trust placed in automated processes might lead to ‘governance by algorithms’, making the ‘Leviathan’, the sovereign machine, a frightening possibility. Other blockchain infrastructures may offer more inclusive alternatives. Distributed Cooperative Organizations (DisCOs) acknowledge the need for the individual to sustain her/himself and yet also create a solidarity economy by the mutual distribution of collectively generated values among all contributors. We focus on the above questions on property, public goods and governance using our home in Brussels, which we have defined as an artwork and framing device. It is the ‘house as artwork’ that helps us evaluate how these concepts play out in an accelerating world in which blockchain and other technologies might equally generate emancipation or new enclosures.

As pequenas e médias organizações enfrentam muitas dificuldades de competição em seus contextos. Algumas ferramentas de gestão podem apoiar estas organizações, entre estas ferramentas está o uso de indicadores, em especial econômicos e financeiros. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo propor uma matriz de indicadores para pequenas e médias organizações. Para atender a este objetivo foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura, quando se obteve uma matriz de indicadores. Esta matriz, por intermédio da técnica Delphi, foi submetida a rodadas de entrevistas com especialistas. Como principais resultados, pode-se destacar: embora existam diferenças entre a matriz resultante da revisão sistemática e a matriz resultante dos especialistas, existe uma grande similaridade entre estas matrizes com relação aos indicadores de liquidez e endividamento, em ambas as matrizes; existe uma forte presença/predominância de indicadores operacionais e finalmente com relação aos indicadores de rentabilidade uma forte preocupação com as margens de lucro.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar uma análise comparativa de como ocorre o compartilhamento do conhecimento em uma incubadora de empresas de base tecnológica, com vistas a favorecer o processo de inovação, do Brasil e do Equador. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. O método utilizado foi o estudo de caso. O objeto de estudo foram duas incubadoras de empresas de base tecnológica, uma localizada na região Sul do Brasil e outra na região Sul do Equador. Os dados foram coletados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas junto às empresas incubadas, cujo roteiro foi desenvolvido a partir da identificação dos principais elementos e características presentes nos modelos de compartilhamento do conhecimento encontrados na literatura visitada. A análise de dados foi realizada a partir da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciam que os principais fatores que influenciam no compartilhamento do conhecimento são os treinamentos e capacitações para as empresas incubadas, as interações que ocorrem entre essas empresas, os ambientes utilizados para essas interações, as parcerias existentes na incubadora, os conhecimentos compartilhados e o apoio ao desenvolvimento de produtos, serviços e inovações. Conclui-se que há uma similaridade entre as incubadoras de base tecnológica brasileira e equatoriana no que tange a esses fatores que levam ao compartilhamento do conhecimento nesses ambientes, favorecendo assim a inovação.

This work aims to test the Walton Model based on the perception of quality of life (QWL) of elderly employees of the state government of Amazonas. Furthermore, the model's predictive capacity to explain the satisfaction of public servants with QWL will also be analyzed. This research presents a quantitative approach in which the questionnaire represents the eight dimensions of Walton's model. Data collection occurred electronically by sending the Google Forms link to all state elderly servers. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that the dimensions of the Walton Model that most impact the overall QWL perceived by state government employees are balance, work relevance, and professional growth, respectively. On the other hand, social integration negatively impacts general QWL. Furthermore, it was found that the Walton Model can explain more than 73% of the overall QWL. The main theoretical contributions of this work fall on the test of the nomological validity of Walton's model, on the study that addresses elderly public servants who are little studied and presents specific and pertinent considerations on the support and rejection of the hypotheses that represent the eight dimensions of the Walton model.

O gerenciamento de processos de negócio (Business Process Management - BPM), tem sido utilizado pelas organizações para garantir a satisfação dos principais envolvidos em seus processos. O BPM consiste em identificar os processos que formam a organização e gerenciá-los da melhor forma possível. Entretanto, há pouca aplicação do BPM para a gestão acadêmica, principalmente em instituições públicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor e implementar melhorias para o gerenciamento de processos de uma coordenação de curso de ensino superior público. Para alcançar esse objetivo foi realizada uma pesquisa-ação, na qual foram identificados 14 processos desenvolvidos pela coordenação e coletadas informações acerca deles através de entrevistas e consulta documental. Com tais informações, os processos foram modelados por meio da notação BPMN e, em seguida, foram realizados grupos focais com estudantes e entrevistas com os coordenadores de curso da instituição. Com base no feedback, criou-se um formulário eletrônico que contempla sete dos processos, bem como uma planilha que fornece o resumo de todas as solicitações realizadas. Além disso, foram desenvolvidos dois dashboards: o primeiro para acompanhamento de solicitações por parte dos discentes suprindo uma de suas principais insatisfações que era a falta de um sistema de acompanhamento, e o segundo dashboard com indicadores de gestão para a coordenação do curso. Em seguida, as melhorias foram implementadas e os processos remodelados. Por fim, a implementação de tais melhorias foi avaliada pelos discentes e pela coordenação do curso, permitindo que se identificassem potenciais oportunidades de melhorias futuras.
