Life cycle assessment applied to facility management of exposed steel frames – ...

Purpose: Facility management (FM) plays an important role in the attainment of a sustainable built environment during the building operational stage since it is responsible for decisions that influence materials’ durability, waste, cost reduction and energy efficiency. However, the integration of the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach in FM presents some difficulties in obtaining complete inventories for buil...

Jovens adultos

Na atualidade, a extensão do período da juventude é uma realidade que reconfigura os processos de transição para a vida adulta associada a intensas mudanças sociais e demográficas nas sociedades ocidentais. A categoria de jovem adulto ganhou recentemente uma crescente importância no campo da administração da justiça à luz dos contributos de diferentes áreas científicas. A nível internacional, não há consenso so...

Políticas penales, prisión y género: debates feministas contemporáneos y mirada...

La prisión es la institución moderna por excelencia para el ejercicio del control sociopenal, un lugar donde violencias que son prohibidas en otras circunstancias son permitidas, y en donde otras, que se encuentran ampliamente normalizadas —como la violencia de género— son trasplantadas en sus propios términos. El feminismo ha debatido vigorosamente la posibilidad de que la justicia criminal-penal y la instituc...

At the ‘risky’ end of things: labelling, self-concept and the role of supportiv...

The ‘risky’ label attached to certain groups of young people has disproportionately made them the target of ‘interventions’ designed to monitor, rehabilitate or punish. This article explores how young people experience and respond to that label across many aspects of their lives from school to leisure and from justice to welfare. We employ the notion of self-concept to understand the negative impact of labellin...

BIM-FM integrated solution resourcing to digital techniques

The facility management (FM) has been suffering significant changes since the introduction of building information modeling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sector. However, there are still challenges in BIM implementation during the building use phase, such as the difficulties related to the personalization of the maintenance management information for each case, and mo...

Convolutional neural networks and regression algorithms supporting buildings fa...

Facility Management is a multi-disciplinary task in which coordination is key to attaining success during the building life cycle and for which technology assumes an increasing role. This sector is demanding more available and accurate tools to optimize the management process, decrease the probability of failure, and reduce the time spent on anomaly analysis. So, the present paper presents work developed to imp...

Facility manager perspectives on building condition assessment for Portuguese h...

This study aims to provide an overview of the building condition assessment at the facility management stage in higher education buildings in Portugal. A questionnaire survey containing 188 questions was developed and was responded to by experts in the facility management departments of 19 higher education institutions (HEIs) in Portugal. The data analysis, using analytic hierarchy process, showed the difficult...

Labelled as ‘risky’ in an era of control: how young people experience and respo...

The construction and labelling of groups of young people as ‘risky’ triggers a multifaceted and dynamic social process of stigma that frequently results in reduced life chances and limited opportunities for self-development. Drawing on case-study data from four European countries, this article focuses on the ways in which stigma is reproduced through interactions and interventions that label young people. Our a...

Efeito das alterações climáticas no status metabólico e bem-estar de suínos cri...

Introdução: as respostas fisiológicas do metabolismo animal frente as condições de stress por calor ou frio determinam perdas na produção. Contudo, o efeito das alterações climáticas nos marcadores bioquímicos, microbioma intestinal, metabolismo lipídico, e expressão de genes associados à síntese de gordura é pouco estudado. Objetivos: estudar em suínos os mecanismos fisiológicos relacionados com a adaptação ao...
