“…Ergonomics in organizational design and management allows the allocation of human resources and organizational competences within the operational unit [22]. In industrial design, ergonomics comprises market and user research and requirements applied to anthropometrics and biomechanics in order to more accurately adapt the form of the product to the user needs [23,24].…”

The design process of an object, system or space must consider the physical, mental and psychological traits of its intended users. Moreover, the results of the design process are also defined by the attributes related to the context. However, current product design approaches does not offer a proper balance among the "human", "artefact" and "context" dimensions. Consequently, a product design methodology that covers the overall Human-Artefact-Context system, from a cognitive and physical ergonomics point of view, is proposed. The generalization of the proposal is based on a synergic structure of User-Centered Design methodologies and ergonomic criteria that prevails throughout the product development stages. The latter ensures a better adaptation to specific context and user needs in a way that improves efficiency, security and consumer well-being.

“…Nesta mesma época, foram estabelecidas pesquisas sérias em relação à antropometria (Henry Dreyfuss Associates) e também ergonomia (Hendrick, 1991). Isto estreitou ainda mais a estética dos objetos com o homem, usuário destes -assim, a curva novamente se estabelece, mas não mais como nos movimentos do passado, em que a flora e fauna eram inspiração para a ornamentação.…”

Resumo: O presente artigo aponta relações interdisciplinares que enfocam a história do design e a semiótica para a qualificação de projeto de produtos. Trata-se de uma diacronia de cadeiras históricas projetadas no Século XX, que foram organizadas sistematicamente e analisadas sintática e semanticamente, considerando-se semelhanças e diferenças, permanências e transformações. Objetiva-se com esse estudo aprimorar o domínio das linguagens de codificação e decodificação que caracterizam a configuração formal dos produtos, potencializando o fluxo de articulação dos atributos estético-formais. Tais relações originaram-se das experiências docentes das autoras, em disciplinas de História do Design, Semiótica Aplicada ao Design e Projeto. Com o modelo construído, buscou-se salientar como a contextualização histórica pode tornar-se um agente de intervenção no design e como a análise semiótica pode auxiliar na interpretação destes dados históricos, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos.Palavras-chave: história do design, análise semiótica, projeto de produto.Abstract: the current article points out interdisciplinary relations whose main target is the history of design and semiotics for the qualification of a product Project. It deals with a diachrony of historical chairs projected along the 20th Century, which were organized systematically and analyzed in a syntactic and semantic way, taking into account resemblances and differences, permanencies and transformations. The intention of this study is to ameliorate the mastery of the codification and decodification languages that characterize the formal configuration of the products, potentizing the fluency in the articulation of both formal and esthetical attributes.

“…Lane and Klenke identified ambiguity as an additional element of McCormick's model of cognitive social theory of leadership confidence. Additionally, researchers [7,8] have pointed out the impact of technology in leadership effectiveness. The field of aviation is in a constant state of technological change, as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).…”

Abstract:In aviation, it is common to have several aircraft operating in similar conditions uneventfully, yet another aircraft, following suit, experiences an accident in the same conditions. With the same information available to crews of both aircraft, conditions can quickly change leading to an accident for one, while the other crews land safely. Should this situational ambiguity be the cause of the accident/incident instead of the crew's poor judgment in light of the fact that others made the same decision without error? Can industry policies communicated to the crew on how to behave in these ambiguous situations be at fault? Do current practices tolerate this type of ambiguity? This paper explores the concept of ambiguity in leadership communication in the context of the airline industry. The authors define the variable of ambiguity in the context of National Airspace System operations and explore its impact on safety. Ambiguity is viewed as a latent hazard in the cockpit, the air traffic control environment, and operations components of the aviation industry. The concept of ambiguity is defined and explored using aviation case study to highlight its influence on aviation safety and decision making using the Reason Accident Causation Model. Additionally, this paper explores various survey instruments and scales that might be considered for observing and measuring these phenomena in the aviation community and recommends best practices.
