Design of a yarn analysis mechatronic prototype for textile industry
Pereira, Filipe; Machado, José; Soares, Filomena; Vasconcelos, Rosa; Carvalho, VítorPortuguese textile industry faces challenges in a globalized market, needing enhanced competitiveness and superior product quality. The quality of textile products heavily relies on yarn excellence, demanding precise evaluation against predefined parameters. Despite advancements, existing yarn evaluation devices struggle with limitations like high costs, bulkiness and imprecise assessments. To overcome these ch...
Mapping the implementation of active learning approaches in a school of enginee...
Lima, Rui M.; Villas-Boas, Valquíria; Soares, Filomena; Carneiro, Olga S.; Ribeiro, Paulo; Mesquita, DianaThis study aims to propose a method for mapping the implementation of active learning approaches by quantifying engineering teachers’ self-perception. It also seeks to examine the correlations between the implementation of active learning approaches and training, as well as publications focused on active learning. To conduct the study, active learning concepts were defined, and a set of approaches were selected...
Physioland: a motivational complement of physical therapy for patients with neu...
Martins, Tiago; Carvalho, Vítor; Soares, Filomena; Leão, CelinaThe number of patients with mobility constraints is increasing as a result of neurological diseases. From the substantiation of the lost functions recoveries, it was possible to determine that the nervous system is able to reorganize itself expressing its property called neuroplasticity. Physical therapy is the well-known way to encourage and promote this ability. However, repetitive traditional physical therap...
Beyond Scores: Early Findings on TBL's Impact in Engineering Education
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Ribeiro, Margarida; Morais, Cristina; Brás-Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina P.This paper presents the preliminary findings of an ongoing study investigating the influence of Team-Based Learning (TBL) on the academic performance of engineering students, particularly its impact on their grasp of subject matter and ability to solve real-world problems. Quantitative data analysis explored correlations between students' entry-level academic scores and their performance in a course incorporati...
Revisiting Team-Based Learning in a Fluid Mechanics Module: Enhancing Students’...
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Ribeiro, Margarida; Morais, Cristina; Brás-Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina P.This study investigates the evolution of students’ perceptions and experiences with Team-Based Learning (TBL) over three academic years (2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24) applied to the Fluid Mechanics course’ viscosity module of the second year of a chemical engineering degree, 1st semester. Through questionnaire data and qualitative evaluation, competences acquired and changes in teamwork and critical thinking we...
User assessment of a customized Taekwondo athlete performance cyber-physical sy...
Cunha, Pedro; Barbosa, Paulo; Ferreira, Fábio; Silva, Tânia; Martins, Nuno; Soares, Filomena; Carvalho, VítorThis study outlines the assessment of the cyber–physical system SPERTA, which was designed to evaluate the real-time performance of Taekwondo athletes. The system conducts performance analyses focusing on speed, acceleration, strength, and identifying and quantifying the athlete’s movements. The research involved administering an online questionnaire to athletes and coaches to evaluate the system’s acceptance a...

Online yarn hairiness– Loop & protruding fibers dataset
Pereira, Filipe; Pinto, Leandro; Soares, Filomena; Vasconcelos, Rosa; Machado, José; Carvalho, VítorThis paper introduces an online dataset focused on detect- ing hairiness in yarn, including loop and protruding fibers. The dataset is designed for use in assessing artificial intelli- gence algorithms. The dataset consists of 684 original images. Through augmentation, this number increases to 1644, with 11,037 annotations derived from videos featuring 56.4tex pur- ple cotton yarn. The videos were captured duri...
