Lima, Miguel; Bernardo, Maria R. M.; Tavares, Mirian N.; Teixeira, Luís; Lacerda-Nobre, ÂngelaO artigo analisa os desafios da implementação de Sistemas de Gestão da Qualidade (SGQ) nas Indústrias Culturais e Criativas (ICC), respondendo à questão: “quais os principais desafios da implementação de um SGQ nas ICC?”. Destaca benefícios como aumento da produtividade, eficiência, inovação, satisfação do cliente e vantagem competitiva, utilizando abordagens como Gestão da Qualidade Total, Lean Thinking, Seis ...
Fotografia digital na média-arte: criatividade, tecnologia e novos paradigmas v...
Lima, Miguel; Teixeira, Luís; Tavares, MirianA fotografia digital tem transformado profundamente a criação artística, proporcionando ferramentas inovadoras para a captação, manipulação e difusão de imagens (Osborne, P. D., 2018). O seu impacto vai além da mera evolução técnica, influenciando significativamente a narrativa visual, a democratização da produção artística e a interseção entre arte, tecnologia e sociedade. Este artigo analisa os vetores dinâmi...
Cidad’ART+: A/r/tografia na fotografia digital generativa
Lima, Miguel; Tavares, Mirian; Teixeira, LuísA Investigação Baseada em Arte (IBA) e a Investigação Educacional Baseada em Arte (IEBA) aplicam-se à fotografia digital contemporânea, como são exemplo a aplicação do método a/t/gráfico ao projeto “Cidad'Art+”. O projeto utiliza o método a/r/tográfico como uma ferramenta para integrar processos criativos na fotografia digital, e a a/r/cografia como metodologia prática, com efeito em artefactos visuais experime...
“Three white men walk into a bar” – TQM’s vanguard pluralistic intersectionalit...
Nobre, Ângela Lacerda; Duarte, Rogério; Gameiro, Amandine; Almeida, Fernando; Jacquinet, Marc; Lima, MiguelIn the rich, educated and industrialised world, with high levels of concentration of technology, Total Quality Management has successfully allowed industries, organizations and institutions to gradually adapt to the new circumstances of the past 20th century, including the gradual transition from industry-based societies to a focus on services. In the 21st century, facing the radical changes in contemporary soc...
Age-dependent changes in physical performance in community dwelling elderly women
Ferragut, Carmen; Suarez, Helena Vila; Lima, Miguel; Rodrigues, Luis Paulo; Bezerra, Pedro; Cancela, José MaríaAging process is accompanied by a gradual and sustained loss of physical abilities which leads to a progressive muscle weakness with important consequences for daily living especially in women. This study aimed was to analyze the differences by ages in dynamic balance and lower limb strength in community-dwelling women, and secondly to assess the differences in dynamic balance scores and lower limb strength bet...
Monitorization of timed up and go phases in elderly
Lima, Miguel; Rocha-Rodrigues, Sílvia; Bezerra, Pedro; Rodrigues, Luis Paulo; Cancela, José MariaAims: to characterize functional mobility during timed “Up and Go” (TUG) test using WivaVR science sensor and to identify which parameter of TUG test best correlates with healthrelated outcomes in elderly. Methods: 1598 participants (71.53 ± 4.99 y, 64.1% women) were recruited. The body mass index (BMI), muscle strength, health status, and all TUG phases (sit-to-stand, gait-to-go, turning, gait-return, and stan...
A multidimensional scaling classification of robotic sensors
Lima, Miguel; Machado, J. A. TenreiroThis chapter analyzes the signals captured during impacts and vibrations of a mechanical manipulator. Eighteen signals are captured and several metrics are calculated between them, such as the correlation, the mutual information and the entropy. A sensor classification scheme based on the multidimensional scaling technique is presented.
A multidimensional scaling analysis of musical sounds based on pseudo phase plane
Lima, Miguel; Costa, António Cardoso; Machado, J. A. TenreiroThis paper studies musical opus from the point of view of three mathematical tools: entropy, pseudo phase plane (PPP), and multidimensional scaling (MDS). The experiments analyze ten sets of different musical styles. First, for each musical composition, the PPP is produced using the time series lags captured by the average mutual information. Second, to unravel hidden relationships between the musical styles th...
Dynamical analysis of compositions
Costa, António Cardoso; Machado, J. A. Tenreiro; Lima, MiguelThis paper analyzes musical opus from the point of view of two mathematical tools, namely the entropy and the multidimensional scaling (MDS). The Fourier analysis reveals a fractional dynamics, but the time rhythm variations are diluted along the spectrum. The combination of time-window entropy and MDS copes with the time characteristics and is well suited to treat a large volume of data. The experiments focus ...
A sensor classification strategy for robotic manipulators using multidimensiona...
Lima, Miguel; Machado, J. A. TenreiroThis paper analyzes the signals captured during impacts and vibrations of a mechanical manipulator. To test the impacts, a flexible beam is clamped to the end-effector of a manipulator that is programmed in a way such that the rod moves against a rigid surface. Eighteen signals are captured and theirs correlation are calculated. A sensor classification scheme based on the multidimensional scaling technique is p...
