Introduction: To evaluate the overall impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics on employment and work organization is complicated by the fact that these technologies are expected to revolutionize many application fields, which are very different from each other. In this paper, we consider two specific applications emerging from recent research projects: one applies AI and Robotics technologies to the healthcare sector, and one to Search and Rescue in wilderness areas. We generalize from these case studies to speculate on how this kind of innovative applications, that are likely to become increasingly common and widespread, might impact employment and work organization in general. Objectives: To understand how innovative applications might impact employment and work organization in general and specifically on healthcare and social services. Methods: Two recent research developments based on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fields of healthcare and rescuing, respectively, are discussed. Therefore, our research work and main results have been achieved within a Swiss National Science Foundation project and a simplified view of the innovative classification component of the architecture is presented. Results: AI and Robotics technologies have specific application on healthcare and social services and demand new professional skills to manage those new methods. Conclusions: We conclude that, depending on the application field, a reduction in the workforce required to carry out tasks that will be taken over by automation might be counterbalanced by either a drastic increase in demand (healthcare services), or a shift in the required competences/skills (search and rescue); in both cases, we can expect a positive societal impact, also motivated by an increased standard of service.

Introduction: The functional limitations associated with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and inactivity are directly related to the deficit in postural control, namely the Early Postural Adjustments (EPAs). On the other hand, same studies showed that the practice of physical exercise can improve stability. Objectives: Thus, the goal of the present study was to evaluate the influence of physical exercise, in this case in a football player, on the EPAs of athletes with CP. Methods: The study included 5 young male adults with CP, aged between 18 and 36 years old, all football players, class 7 and 8.The electromyographic activity was recorded using Delsys Trigno and the ratio of the postural musculature [soleus (SO) and tibialis anterior (TA)] prior to a step motion, as well as the center of pressure displacement amplitude were calculated through the force platforms (Bertec), before and after a 4 month interval of training. The two moments of evaluation were compared using the Wilcoxon test and the Spearman correlation between the CoP amplitude and the muscular activity ratio was calculated.Participants were recruited in a first period in which they had no physical activity at all and in the following 4 months they started training regularly, with a frequency of three times a week for 1h30min, always with the same trainer and in the same physical training space. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in the anterior CoP amplitude (-4.47cm; p=0.043) after 4 months, with a negative correlation between this amplitude and the ratio of TA / SO (r=-0.90; p=0.037). In the lateral direction, a diminution of amplitude of minimum CoP (-1.49; p=0.893) without statistically significant correlation (r=0.10; p=0.873) was found. Conclusions: Practicing sport, even in pathology, has a significant effect on the improvement of postural oscillation, with an increase in the relationship between muscular activity and postural control.

Introducao: A Fisica lida com fenomenos abstratos que apresentam dificuldades para os alunos. O Desporto e uma ponte importante para ligar conceitos de Fisica a fenomenos quotidianos. A utilizacao de jogos tornou-se um dos principais focos de pesquisa na ultima decada e fornece um mecanismo para imergir os estudantes em jogos estrategicos e estudo de conceitos cientificos complexos. Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi estudar a interdisciplinaridade entre Fisica e Desporto, utilizando o jogo de simulacao de computador “Electric Field Hockey”, quando comparado aos metodos tradicionais de sala de aula. Metodos: Este estudo incluiu 91 estudantes: um grupo de controlo (N = 32), onde foram implementadas metodologias tradicionais de aprendizagem e um grupo experimental (N = 59) que jogou “Electric Field Hockey”. Resultados: Concluiu-se que os jogos podem conduzir a resultados positivos de aprendizagem, como demonstrado pelo aumento nas pontuacoes dos testes da pre-avaliacao e pos-avaliacao e pelas entrevistas aos alunos. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que os designers de jogos devem incorporar atividades metacognitivas, como oportunidades reflexivas em jogos educacionais, a fim de fornecer suportes para os alunos e reforcar o seu envolvimento numa experiencia de aprendizagem educacional. Conclusoes: Este estudo tambem sugere que uma abordagem complementar, na qual os jogos e as atividades praticas sao integradas pode ser uma tecnica poderosa para apoiar a compreensao de conceitos cientificos abstratos.

Introducao: Inserido no âmbito do desenvolvimento de um instrumento musical digital, o Digital Sock, apresentamos neste documento os resultados obtidos da analise do ciclo interativo psicopedagogico no qual investigamos o instrumento como ferramenta de estimulacao sonora em processos interativos entre corpo-instrumento-ambiente. Objetivos: Analise do ciclo de interacao psicopedagogica que investiga a relacao entre corpo e som, com o novo instrumento, o Digital Sock, como dispositivo estimulador de processos comunicacionais. Metodos: A metodologia utilizada para esta investigacao foi a investigacao-acao. Na primeira fase, realizamos uma intervencao psicopedagogica com jovens em Educacao Especial. Na segunda fase, realizamos um Estudo de Caso com um jovem diagnosticado com Perturbacao do Espectro do Autismo. Para a recolha dos dados utilizamos os meios audiovisuais e o diario de campo, a entrevista focalizada, a observacao participante e a analise documental. Para a interpretacao dos dados realizamos a analise do discurso e a analise de conteudo. O modelo de atuacao utilizado durante as duas fases da intervencao pratica priorizou a integracao da musica e do movimento corporal (Dalcroze, 1920; Pederiva, 2004; Santiago, 2008; Storolli, 2011); a formacao do gesto cenico (Laban, 1978; Katz, 2005; Miller, 2007; Greiner & Amorim, 2010; Miller, 2012; Amaral, 2015; Roquet, 2017); a pratica ludica (Lapierre, 1982; Fonseca, 2001; Acouturier & Lapierre, 2004; Vieira, Batista & Lapierre, 2005); a improvisacao criativa (Nordoff & Robins, 1959; Bruscia, 1999) e a crenca de que o som e a musica permitem a comunicacao entre pares (Benenzon, 1981; Whipple, 2004). Resultados: A relacao corpo-som como meio de expressao demonstrou ser capaz de estimular processos criativos e o desenvolvimento do pensamento critico e reflexivo. Todas as atividades desenvolvidas durante as reunioes priorizaram a relacao corpo-som. A analise das narrativas mostrou que a mensagem propagada atraves da meia (a sonoridade) era entendida como uma reacao ao som ouvido durante o exercicio (com codificacao e decodificacao individual) e expressa atraves dos olhos das maos, expressao facial e equilibrio corporal - movimentos subtis, mais visiveis que os movimentos amplos. Conclusoes: A interpretacao dos dados levou-nos a concluir que o Digital Sock, percebido como ferramenta psicopedagogica de estimulacao sonora e gestual, favorece o desenvolvimento de narrativas cenico-musicais em jovens com Necessidades Educativas Especiais.

Introduction: The Tourist Trip Design Problem is a variant of a route-planning problem for tourists interested in multiple points of interest. Each point of interest has different availability, and a certain satisfaction score can be achieved when it is visited. Objectives: The objective is to select a subset of points of interests to visit within a given time budget, in such a way that the satisfaction score of the tourist is maximized and the total travel time is minimized. Methods: In our proposed model, the calculation of the availability of a POI is based on the waiting time and / or the weather forecast. However, research shows that most tourists prefer to travel within a crowded and limited area of very attractive POIs for safety reasons and because they feel more in control. Results: In this work we demonstrate that the existing model of the Probabilistic Orienteering Problem fits a probabilistic variant of this problem and that Monte Carlo Sampling techniques can be used inside a heurist solver to efficiently provide solutions. Conclusions: In this work we demonstrate the existing model of the Probabilistic Orienteering Problem fits the stochastic Tourist Trip Design Problem. We proposed a way to solve the problem by using Monte Carlo Sampling techniques inside a heuristic solver and discussed several possible improvements on the model. Further extension of the model will be developed for solving more practical problems.

Introducao: O climaterio e um periodo de modificacoes da funcao ovariana com alteracoes psiquicas, endocrinas e somaticas. Essa fase tem sido alvo de poucos estudos e varios tabus por muitos anos. Objetivos: Compreender a vivencia do climaterio para as mulheres sem filhos. Metodos: Estudo descritivo exploratorio com abordagem qualitativa. Foram entrevistadas dez mulheres sem filhos, na faixa etaria entre 45 e 60 anos, atendidas na rede basica de saude. A analise dos dados foi fundamentada na Analise Tematica. Resultados: A partir da analise foram construidos os temas: Sentimentos por nao serem maes, Motivos da nao maternidade e Formas de compensacao. Conclusoes: O conhecimento da vivencia do climaterio pelas mulheres sem filhos permitiu reconhecer e compreender os sentimentos de frustracao, impotencia e fracasso por nao serem maes. O abandono familiar, solidao, a estigmatizacao e a diminuicao do convivio social sao manifestacoes presentes. Entretanto, existem aquelas que optam pela nao maternidade, privilegiando a autonomia, vida profissional e instinto materno. Como formas de compensacao, substituem a ausencia de filhos com dedicacao a sobrinhos, estudantes e animais.

Introduction: Currently, and in a competitive context, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) increasingly depend on the quality of their services, not only to satisfy their different stakeholders, but also to attract funding. In this way, HEIs tend to incorporate Internal Quality Management Systems (IQMS) into their strategy with a view to the continuous improvement of their performance. This work intends to analyze the applicability of an HEI, based on the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model, through its implementation in a public Portuguese HEI. Objectives: Contribute to a critical analysis of the applicability of an IQMS in the organizational performance of an HEI, based on the EFQM model, and implemented in a published HEI. Methods: A number of advantages and difficulties were obtained. For the difficulties obtained, it was proposed a set of suggestions for its overcoming. Results: A number of advantages and difficulties were obtained. For the difficulties obtained, it was proposed a set of suggestions for its overcoming. Conclusions: The application of the SIGQ in the HEI under study, proved to be beneficial, due to a set of perceived advantages, among them, the increase of the organizational efficiency. For each one of the disadvantages identified in the study, a set of solutions was proposed for its mitigation, thus allowing to reinforce the potential of applying the EFQM model in an HEI.

Introduction: Despite considering the English language, Lingua Franca par excellence, Catalan companies, due to their growing economic internationalization, demand more and more professionals with skills in foreign languages associated with skills and attitudes linked to employability. These characteristics reflect the needs of the labour market, which implies a strong synergy between universities and companies in order to provide future graduates with the most suitable skills for a quality labour market insertion. Methods: Our analysis is based on the study of two different profiles of graduates, on the one hand, students of the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation of the Autonomous University of Barcelona and on the other hand, students of the Degree in Tourism of Euroaula-University of Girona, two areas in which knowledge of second languages is unavoidable for their subsequent incorporation into the labour market. We will focus on second foreign languages (French, German, Italian, etc.) which are part of the growing needs of the Catalan business sector. Conclusions: The graduates who can accredit linguistic knowledge in two foreign languages, associated with transversal skills linked to employability, are future professionals highly coveted by the world of work. From this perspective, the world of education must try to reconsider the teaching of foreign languages that is more in line with the needs of knowledge, know-how and know how to be.

Introduction: Sanitary surveillance (SS) is aimed at the risk associated with products and services and is part of the activities related to Primary Health Care (PHC) in its structure and processes. Objectives: To analyze the perception of SS professionals on the sanitary conditions (SC) of PHC services. Methods: Professionals of Sanitary surveillance teams Participated of a Focus Group (FG) of four Sanitary Districts of Salvador. The reports were analyzed based on documents and regulations of the Ministry of Health (MOH). Results: The participants of the FG associated SC to health risks, highlighting problems regarding the structure of services and provision of equipment/materials for actions under the PHC. They presented strategies to minimize risks such as preventive maintenance of equipment, supply of materials for the provision of care, and monitoring and organization of the work process in an appropriate manner. They considered "persistence" as an important trait for the work of SS professionals to achieve the minimization of health risks of workers and users in the PHC. Conclusions: The data collection technique of FG enabled the discussion of the topic and the reflection of professionals on their practices. However, it was found that for the implementation of FG, the focus on the theme is challenging. It is considered that it was difficult for SS professionals to address the possible implications of SC on PHC services and on the health of the population.
