Representação e literacia dos dados: o caso das empresas de design em Portugal

Abstract

design de informação, literacia dos dados, educação em design, empresas de design em Portugal Este estudo resulta de um exercício desenvolvido dentro do âmbito do projeto nacional "Para um observatório de design em Portugal: modelos, instrumentos, representações, estratégias", com 15 alunos de mestrado da Universidade de Aveiro. Objetivou mapear dados económicos e financeiros sobre 1200 empresas de design em Portugal e capacitar jovens designers na interpretação e representação de dados. Durante um semestre, os alunos categorizaram, curaram, densificaram e mapearam a informação sobre essas empresas. Usaram essa informação para desenvolver uma infografia, com abstrações e metáforas, constituindo a sua primeira experiência de manuseamento e comunicação de dados. Os resultados preliminares indicam uma emancipação importante por parte dos alunos, que demonstraram interesse e capacidade crítica, na interpretação dos dados. Este estudo constitui mais um passo rumo à consolidação de uma abordagem participativa e distribuída de observação, essencial para a construção de um observatório de design em Portugal. information design, data literacy, design education, design companies in PortugalThis study is the result of an exercise developed within the scope of the project "Towards a design observatory in Portugal: models, instruments, representations, strategies", with 15 master students from the University of Aveiro. It aimed to map economic and financial data of 1200 design companies in Portugal and to train novice design students to start their journey in data interpretation and representation. During the period of one semester, students categorized, cured, densified and mapped information about these companies. They used this information to develop infographics, with abstractions and metaphors, constituting their first experience with data manipulation and representation. The preliminary results indicate an important emancipation for students, who showed interest and critical capacity to interpret the data. This study is another step towards the consolidation of a participatory and distributed observation approach, essential for the construction of a design observatory in Portugal. Observar o design em PortugalDesde 2013, com a extinção do Centro Português de Design (Curado, 2013), não existe um instrumento de política pública que sirva de interface entre o ecossistema de design nacional e o tecido socioeconómico Português. Pela falta de visibilidade, o design torna-se cada vez mais operativo, enquanto fator de inovação e desenvolvimento. Um inquérito distribuído a nível Europeu para avaliar a inovação no continente revela por exemplo que, em Portugal, apenas Anais do 10º Congresso Internacional de Design da Informação | CIDI 2021

Development of Innovative Candied Chestnuts from Three Chestnut Cultivars Grown in Portugal

“…These differences can be due to the processing operations or also due to the methodologies used in the analyses. The candied chestnuts presented amounts of carbohydrates in the range 88.58 to 91.87 g/100 g d.m., which are higher than those reported by Costa et al [ 14 ] for the raw chestnuts of the same cultivars ( Table 1 ). Also, the values of protein for the candied chestnuts (6.55–9.51 g/100 g d.m.)…”

“…The dried form or the chestnuts, although very useful for storage and preservation of quality, is not proper for consumption or use in gastronomic preparations. Due to its extremely low moisture content (under 2%), this form of chestnut is incredibly hard, and not possible for human consumption or even for processing, except for milling and turning into a powder [ 6 , 14 ]. Therefore, either for direct consumption or for utilization in other gastronomic preparations, hydration must be carried out, and in this work the process was studied in order to optimize it.…”

“…were higher than those reported for the raw fruits (4.9–5.6 g/100 g d.m.) [ 14 ]. On the other hand, the candied chestnuts possessed lower values of ash (0.78–1.98 g/100 g d.m.)…”

Impact of Cultivar, Processing and Storage on the Mycobiota of European Chestnut Fruits

“…As previously mentioned, the three varieties tested show divergent chemical and nutritional compositions [30][31][32], which potentially define the establishment and development of different mycobiota based on their own nutritional requirements. For instance, Judia and Longal have higher protein and fat content than Martaínha [31,32], which might explain the higher incidence of proteolytic and lipolytic fungi such as Penicillium spp.…”

“…Of the three varieties tested, Longal was the most sensitive to fungal infection and rot decay, when similar stages of processing are considered. This variety has been associated with the highest contents of protein, fat and starch [30][31][32], which potentially stimulate fungal establishment and development, while showing the lowest contents of total phenolics, ellagic and gallic acids [32]. Phenolics in general, and particularly ellagic and gallic acids, have shown to play a key role in plant defense against fungal pathogens by enhancing plant antioxidative responses or ergosterol inhibition, among other modes of action [33,34].…”
