The beginning of the 15th century A.D. is regarded as the start of geographical discoveries movement , the actual beginning of the colonial movement of the cities of the Islamic world which was led by Portugal , and then by the papacy. Although the Mamluk State was entering its final throes, it tried to protect the holy places in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah by preventing the Portuguese ships from entering the Red Sea, but the Portuguese ships were navigating in the Red Sea for their economic interests, and their pursuit of their desired purpose, which was the revenge on Muslims and invading their holy cities. The research will highlight the dangers of the Portuguese invasion during this period on the Red Sea coasts , the purpose of Duarte Barbosa journey in 972 A.H./1565 A.D. , and the report that Duarte Barbosa wrote about some important cities and coasts of the Red Sea for the Portuguese, and the importance of these cities for them. All of these reports were sent to the Royal Library in Lisboa, which was the headquarters of the Maritime and Commercial Empire. This journey text was written in the Portuguese language, and it was lost for a long time until it was obtained by Dr. Sultan Mohammed Al-Qassimi in 1433 A.H./ 2012 A.D. , and it was translated and directed by him in a huge manuscript, which is considered as the oldest manuscript containing much information about the Arabian Peninsula and the Islamic coasts. Moreover, this manuscript represents the beginning of Portuguese colonization over Islamic monarchies. The researcher.

Full textAbstract:
Slides de cavalete | Easel slides (1978–1979) is a slide-based artwork by the Portuguese artist Ângelo de Sousa (1938–2011), composed of one-hundred colour slides. Each image was produced by capturing different proportions of red, green, and blue (RGB) lights to obtain colour gradations. The artwork was first presented in the exhibition A Fotografia como Arte/A Arte como Fotografia | Photography as Art/Art as Photography in 1979. Associated with this exhibition, documentary evidence was found during the present study providing specific instruction on how to display the artwork (possibly unknown until now). According to that documentation, the artist wanted the work to be projected on a canvas mounted in an easel with a 19th century semblance, using a slide projector. In the last two exhibitions, carried out in 2017, after the artist had passed, the work was displayed as a digital projection, without the previously mentioned sculptural components. It was considered that this deviation from the first presentation could have led to a misunderstanding of the work. Thus, an exhibition of this artwork was prepared in a room at the Library of Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia. This was built as an experimental laboratory, having as one of its important objectives to test the variability of the work projected with a slide projector and a digital projector, following the display setup defined by the artist. For four days, the visitors were shown the work displayed under these two distinct scenarios of presentation. The visitors were also asked to fill out a questionnaire, to capture their perception about the variance of the work. The data obtained in the questionnaire and during the exhibition reinforced the decision to expose Slides de cavalete using the original technology. The public preferred the quality and beauty of the image using the slide projector, highlighting as positive aspects more granularity and warmer hue as well as higher depth of the images. Additionally, the production process behind Slides de cavalete was studied, based on documentation discovered in the artist’s archive and on reproductions, to enrich our perception of the work, in particular the complexity of creating the sfumato effects, and to understand the impact of changing the display technology. The results obtained made it possible to identify the main steps of making these slides, and this knowledge was shared with visitors in a workshop, integrated in this experimental laboratory.

The offer of educational actions focused on babies in museums causes the need for studies that seek to understand such actions, contributing to the constitution of significant practices. From these activities the article presents a reflection on the relationship between art and early childhood. The text was guided by theorists who value the cultural aspect in children's development, especially by Rinaldi and Vecchi. Institutional documents were used, such as photographic records and articles, as well as observations of some activities. It sought to identify ways that can stimulate the extension of the reception to the public from zero to three years in cultural institutions.

From its creation in 1968 the Gulbenkian Art Library has possessed a number of special collections, and these have been enriched through major bequests or through acquisition. Currently there are about 180 collections with relevance for the study of Portuguese art and culture: they include private libraries, the private archives of Portuguese artists and architects, and photographic archives. Material in the special collections is available through the library’s catalogue and some have already been digitised and are available on the internet, depending on their copyright terms and conditions. Among these special collections two have special relevance to the study of the history of Brazilian art and architecture: the collection of Portuguese tiles and the Robert Smith Collection.

Abstract In 1865 John Charles Robinson travelled to Portugal in the service of the South Kensington Museum and plunged into the art market with the intention of acquiring works for that institution’s collections that were representative of Portuguese artistic production. This article provides a broad and contextualized approach to this connoisseur’s experience on the Portuguese market, framing it within a hitherto undervalued phenomenon: the persistent presence of English agents in this system. An original identification of all the works acquired in Portugal by Robinson and of all those so-far neglected dealers involved in such transactions allows us to assess the real extent and impact of such mission. We shall also show that the acquisitions made were decisive not only for diversifying the museum’s collections but also for art historiography, both being inseparable from the invention of the term Indo-Portuguese.

Abstract This study aims at understanding how the master narratives conveyed by the national accounts given by 14 to 18-year-old Spanish and Portuguese students converge or differ from one another and how they relate to national identity and temporal orientation. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative approach inspired by Grounded Theory. The results suggest a parallel but conceptually convergent schematic template focused on initial conquests, a golden period of maritime discoveries, and a recent dictatorship overcome by the restoration of democracy. Some particularities of students’ accounts linked to specific historical situations in each country, as well as diversified attitudes of the young people toward “their” nation-states are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to rethink 19th century Portuguese sculpture’s stylistic categories from the analysis of the work of António Teixeira Lopes, who is considered the major representative of naturalism in this country. First, the concept of naturalism in Portuguese art history is examined, with a critical characterization of its separation from romanticism (contrasting with mainstream literature) and demonstrating that its emergence from painting research and its adoption in sculpture is inoperative when observing a concrete art work. Secondly, with the Portuguese art reality as a backdrop, Teixeira Lopes’ academic and professional life is contextualised. Finally, based on the analysis of the sculptor’s work and the knowledge of his methods and views on art, the labelling of Lopes as a naturalist is questioned and the necessity for a less compartmentalized understanding of 19th century art is stressed.

Full textAbstract:
The common narrative of the Portuguese state in India from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century is, following contemporaries like Manuel Godinho, that of the four ages of man. The development of the Estado da Índia runs from its birth during the discoveries, via its youth, the ‘golden age’ (ranging from roughly 1500 to 1520) through its maturity or, to stick with the age metaphors, its ‘silver age’ from c. 1520 to 1570 to senility, or ‘age of decline’. The decline is a long one though: now generally considered to start in 1570 and covering the following two centuries. And one may well wonder whether ‘decadênria’ is truly the appropriate way to approach such a long period.

Full textAbstract:
Portuguese art song is an underexplored niche in the song recital repertoire. One factor that makes it difficult for singers to make sense of it is the limited information on Portuguese culture. In this discussion of the music of Fragoso and the texts of António Correia de Oliveira in relation to the cycle Canções do Sol Poente (Songs of the Setting Sun), the author provides cultural and historical information with particular reference to the Portuguese concept of saudade, with discussion on how saudade is intertwined with the movements of nationalism, neoromanticism, and saudadismo of the 1890s that led to the Portuguese revolution in 1911 and the subsequent blossoming of creative arts in the nation.

Thesis, University of the West of England, Bristol, 1997. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.244292.
Full textAbstract:
This research, based mainly on the analysis of primary sources, sets out to investigate and explain relationships between political power and ideology, and art education in Portuguese elementary and secondary schools, in their historical context. The following key turning points have been identified: 1895: Moniz' secondary education reforms substituted 'fine art' principles for existing utilitarian principles based on the' values of an industrial society, in the drawing syllabus; 1918: during the Republican period, observational drawing began to replace the copying of pictures in elementary schools; 1947: 'expressive' activities were first included in the syllabus; 1970: the first edition of 'Caderno do Professor' was published. An analysis of the evidence reveals that there were times in Portuguese history when the impact of political power influenced the changes in the teaching of drawing/art, notably during the industrial revolution and later, in the twentieth century, under Salazar's rule. Influences ora socio-economic nature and of educational theory had a greater impact on the content and direction of the art curriculum than those of an openly and explicit political or ideological nature, although it is not intended to suggest that such socio-economic and theoretical influences can be regarded as non-ideological. During the nineteenth century socio-economic influences were evident when the acquisition of drawing skills was considered important to enable citizens to implement the new social reality of the industrial revolution. Influences of a political or ideological nature were openly visible only from 1926 to 1974, when Portugal was ruled by Salazar and his followers. F or elementary schools, it is impossible to suggest a rationale which underpins the teaching of drawing/art before 1919, in view of the scarcity of data and because of the inadequate educational provision at this level. During the Republican period (1910-1926), ideological influences from the regime led to the development of a rationale based on 'aesthetic education'. Impact on public schools proved to be minimal; only outside the mainstream of public education, is there discernible evidence of innovative teaching. From 1926 to 1974, overt political influences reduced elementary school activities to the 'three R's', with the consequent near exclusion of drawing/art teaching at this level. However, between 1928 and 1937, a rationale based on nationalist values influenced what little art education there was. For secondary schools, only after 1836 can it be said that the teaching of drawing was afforded a permanent place; it has been impossible to identify a clearrationale for the period prior to that. Between 1836 and 1895, the rationale was inspired by vocational objectives: the need to train a skilled workforce. Between 1895 and 1926, there were few significant changes in the rationale, despite the prevailing ideological influences of the Republican rulers. The curriculum remained largely concerned with meeting the industry'S need; geometric drawing, useful in industrial design contexts, therefore predominated. Between 1926 and 1947, under the early years of the dictatorship, the influence of ideology on the rationale for art education in the secondary school was evident in the espousal of nationalist values, but this emphasis gradually decreased. There is evidence of some interference in the school drawing curriculum, but otherwise political intervention was largely concentrated on the Mocidade Portuguesa, the Portuguese Youth Movement, where artistic themes were chosen for their nationalistic flavour. Current research into developmental psychology was applied to the study of children's drawing development and these ideas slowly began to impact on the rationale adopted by teachers of drawing/art. From 1947 to 1970, such ideas had increasing influence on the curriculum, now more appropriately described as 'art education', in that it valued 'free expression' and took more account of prevalent theories of child development. This was despite the Portuguese Youth Movement continuing to promote the production of artwork / art products based aroun~ nationalistic themes in its classes.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines a group of objects produced for Catholic Europeans in the scope of the Portuguese maritime explorations and Catholic missions in Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries. Embellished with Asian lacquer coatings, their heterogeneous character and complex mix of decorative elements, artistic and craft traditions has led to various attributions regarding their production, including classification as Indo- Portuguese, Sino-Portuguese, Japanese nanban or Ryūkyūan. This study arose over discrepancies between these presumed identifications and their actual physical features. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, it combined formal and esthetic examination with material analysis, while also considering the cultural and geo-political context, contemporary Asian lacquer traditions, and similar decorative techniques. In addition to refining the fundamentals of lacquer conservation it also led to a reconsideration of the accepted attributions of these objects. As a result, the study sheds new light on our understanding of European and Asian relations in a period critical to the shaping of our modern world; RESUMO: A Viagem dos Artefactos: O Estudo e a Caracterização de um Núcleo de Objetos Lacados Luso-Asiáticos dos Séculos XVI e XVII
Esta tese examina um conjunto de objetos produzidos para europeus católicos no âmbito das explorações marítimas portuguesas e missões católicas na Ásia nos séculos XVI e XVII. Embelezados com revestimentos de laca asiática, o seu carácter heterogéneo e a mistura complexa de elementos decorativos, tradições artísticas e artesanais levaram a várias atribuições em relação à sua produção, incluindo classificações como indo- português, sino-português, japonês nanban ou Ryūkyū. Este estudo surgiu devido a discrepâncias entre essas presumidas identificações e as suas características físicas reais. Ao adoptar uma abordagem multidisciplinar, esta investigação combinou o exame formal e estético com a análise dos materiais, considerando também o contexto cultural e geopolítico, as tradições contemporâneas de laca asiática e as suas técnicas decorativas similares. Além de refinar os fundamentos da conservação da laca, também levou a uma reconsideração das atribuições aceites relativamente a esses objetos. Como resultado, esse estudo lança nova luz sobre a nossa compreensão das relações europeias e asiáticas num período crítico para a formação de nosso mundo moderno.

Marçal, Hélia Pereira. "From intangibility to materiality and back again: preserving Portuguese performance artworks from the 1970s." Doctoral thesis, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10362/59727.
Full textAbstract:
Performance art has seen growing incorporation in museum collections in the last decade, and yet
Conservation is still struggling to find methods to conserve these artworks, which resist acts of containement.
In the context of the present research, three problems hampering progress in the conservation
of performance art were identified: (1) Conservation’s scope is often seen in opposition to the
nature of performance artworks, (2) there is a lack of an epistemological analysis of Conservation’s
documentation methodologies, and (3) there are difficulties in managing the artwork’s networks in
institutional contexts. The third problem is beyond the scope of this thesis, as this project was undertaken
outside an institutional setting. This thesis therefore sheds light on the first two issues by
drawing on agential realism (Karen Barad 2007), an epistemological lens which considers that every
act of knowing implies material and discursive entanglements within every agent involved.
To answer the first problem, a relational ontology of Conservation, which considers that
Conservation practice, instead of being associated only with tangible objects, constitutes and is coconstituted
by material-discursive practices, is proposed. Following this reasoning the act of conservation
is then presented as a set of decisions, which vary in scale and produce materialisations of
artistic manifestations. This thesis argues that cultural heritage works, including performance art, are
thus always intangible until being materialised by heritage practices, which are characterised by specific
ways of seeing, or measurements. In this sense it will be demonstrated that performance art,
instead of existing only in the present, exists in various material ways, which are recursively disseminated
over time through practices of memorialisation.
To understand the second problem, two performance artworks created in the 1970s by Portuguese
artists have been documented for the first time in this thesis. The case study analyses demonstrate
how current methodologies are focused on perfomance-based art’s materials instead of its materiality
and how that process increases the number of exclusions in the documentation process.
Exclusions are then explained as acts of affirmation of the dominant cultural and political discourse
and, in that sense, contribute to the invisibility of counter-narratives which not only co-constitute but
are an intentional part of the fabric of performance artworks. Aside from implying a constant delimitation
in the materialisation of these works, exclusions also immortalise social injustices in the form
of, for example, community misrecognition. Participation, understood in the broad sense as an act
of yielding authority, is proposed as a way to materialise performance artworks while reducing the
exclusions that occur in every documentation process. This thesis argues that a dislocation of authority
to peripheral stakeholders is not a loss of authorial power, but a way to multiply the instances of
the work in multiple body-archives. An outcome of this dissertation, is a proposal and detailed outline
for an innovative methodology for documenting performance art works.

Wherein resides the ‘art’ in the ‘art of building’? Throughout history, architects have generally viewed their field as a craft informed by the human body, a creative sense of play, and technical science. Theory in the second half of the 20 th century departed from this direction by reducing art to the visual and semiotic understanding of form. The remarkable discoveries of the biological sciences in recent decades have opened an entirely new perspective for designers, based on our profound insights into human soci-ality, empathy, emotion, mirror systems, and design’s inherent powers of “tactility and kinesis.” The dictum “know thyself,” once inscribed in stone at the entrance of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, in many ways holds the key to locating the missing ‘art’ of design.

Full textAbstract:
The ‘beloved community’ formed in Provincetown, Massachusetts in tandem with the high period of Greenwich Village’s bohemian ‘little renaissance.’ Once a prosperous whaling port, the village of Provincetown had been undergoing economic decline and a marked ethnic shift in the decades preceding its development as an art colony. By the turn of the century, its Catholic, Portuguese population overtook its ‘native’ Yankee one; at this time, the village amplified its reputation as home to two successful summer art schools and boosted its image within a booming regional tourist economy as a quaint, Cape Cod fishing village. A coterie of moderns from Greenwich Village discovered Provincetown’s relatively underdeveloped beaches and wharves and by the teens had made it their home base, at least during the summer season. This chapter core of this coterie lived out their bohemian identities by drinking copiously, dressing wildly, bathing naked, and forming the performing group that would come to be known as the Provincetown Players. This endeavour brought together individuals with a wide range of talents (as well as those with very little talent but a desire to participate in the fun) for theatrical events that served to consolidate—physically, in the space of the theatre, as well as ideologically, through the content of their plays—a distinctly modern and modernist ‘beloved community’ of friends, lovers, and associates at a distance from the metropolis.

Known as an integrated energy company that operates in all segments of the oil industry, Petrobras has a broad management experience and uses a multidisciplinary approach, which applies to different areas. Recently, the impressive discoveries of the Pre-Salt reserves have created an exciting scenario in multiple aspects. Petrobras expects to produce more than 5 million bpd of oil by 2020, out of which only 1 million will come from Pre-Salt. This leads to an approach that will require scalable and sustainable solutions that take into account the better understanding of how people, processes, technology, and governance issues are connected and managed (Hendserson, J. et al., in this book). Considering past experiences and the complexity of the new oil and gas production scenario, Petrobras is preparing an even greater leap in its upstream operation and maintenance management systems – a corporate initiative called GIOp (acronym for Integrated Operations Management, in Portuguese) is being implemented. This chapter describes the implementation of GIOp in all upstream operational units of Petrobras in Brazil, considering the main organizational aspects, the methodology to develop a portfolio of opportunities, the scalability of the solutions, and the initial experience in Pre-Salt production.

Full textAbstract:
The political and diplomatic contacts established over the course of the 1560s are one of the most important chronological and symbolic landmarks of relations between the Sultanate of Aceh and the Ottoman Empire. Recently discovered documents from several European archives have revealed new protagonists, facts, and political, diplomatic and economic articulations encompassing the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, with important ramifications for Southeast Asia. This chapter focuses, above all, on the activities of the espionage and counter-espionage networks, based in Istanbul, but scattered across various Mediterranean ports. These networks were headed by eminent figures from the Jewish and Portuguese New Christian financial and commercial circles, who were close to Süleyman I as well as his successor Selim II. The intelligence produced by these networks during the 1560s is mainly focused on the spice routes from Southeast Asia (particularly Aceh) through the Maldives to the Red Sea.

Full textAbstract:
Less than twenty years after Vasco da Gama joined the commercial perimeter of the Indian Ocean (1497–8), European artists had developed a view of the newly discovered lands, ranging from highly exotic and sometimes quite fanciful renderings based on medieval sources (the ‘Tapestries of the Indies’) to careful ethnographic illustrations based on written and visual sources (Hans Burgkmair's large woodcut frieze, People of Africa and India, of 1508). These few years, in which the monstrance of Belém of 1506 (Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon) was produced with the gold of Kilwa, also saw an interesting development in Portuguese gold coinage. All these ventures record a brief moment of European fascination with the east coast of Africa and its multicultural inhabitants, which is the object of this study.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this chapter is to present a domain model that represents the informational needs of transparency (governance structure and accountability dimensions) in Portuguese cooperatives. A domain model is an abstract representation of a reality and a milestone in the development of a metadata application profile (MAP). A community of practice publishes linked open MAP-based data for these data to be interoperable; this means intelligent software/agents can aggregate these data, provide different types of visualizations, infer from the data, and ultimately provide new discoveries. This model was developed having as basis the information obtained from the accomplishment of a focus group, and the analysis of financial reports and websites of seven Portuguese cooperatives. The authors will continue to work on the domain model to include 1) other dimensions that also contribute for transparency in the organizations and 2) other types of entities of the social economy (SE). The final aim is to define a model representing the needs of transparency of all types of European SE entities.

Full textAbstract:
The wartime scene in New York continues with Finnegans Wake once again setting a precedent, this time for the Abstract Expressionists. It was a moment when they—like the European exiles among them—were exploring the indigenous art of the Americas and the unfathomable scope of the archaic revealed by successive discoveries in Europe of Paleolithic caves, from Altamira to Lascaux. They—along with the European exiles—found these discoveries existentially chastening, inspiring the insistence of poet Charles Olson on the “post-modern” urgency of a post-humanist outlook, recoverable in prehistory. As figuration receded from art, the aura of the symbol was invested in the titles of paintings, which were abuzz with terms like “night” and “archaic.” But a palpable symbol did emerge, not as artifice but as semiotic index in the form of the human hand.

The pursuit of this paper1 is coordinated to talk about the "compelling" part of pioneer information in the desultory developments of one of the famous journey locales, Sri Pada in Sri Lanka. What I investigate here is the manner by which distinctive legitimate talks arise about Sri Pada from the diverse pilgrim skill, Portuguese 1505-1687 , Dutch 1687-1896 and British 1896-1948 . As we currently know, legitimate talk on the 'colonized' was to a great extent created through the specialists of the provincial governments, military work force, Christian preachers, philologists and chairmen. In such manner, Sri Pada was not outstanding. I'm mindful that these types of information creation change with changes in the acts of expansionism. In this regard, I examine what gets recognized and checked by pilgrim approved information as 'Adam's Peak'.

This paper presents experimental results of WindFloat 1 platform and comparisons with the numerical model developed by Principle Power. The WindFloat platform is designed to support multi-megawatt wind turbines. A full-scale prototype was installed offshore Portugal from 2011 to 2016, and produced 17GWh into the Portuguese grid. An extensive monitoring system was installed, including a wave rider buoy, 6-degrees of freedom measurement devices, anemometers, strain gauges, turbine monitoring instruments. Important results obtained during the measurement campaign are described in this paper. These include power predictions, turbine and tower loads, and platform motions. Comparison with numerical simulations are also provided. The numerical analysis methodology includes fully coupled simulations, based on Orcaflex, a commercially available state-of-the-art software to compute the hydrodynamic response of floating systems, combined in the time-domain with FAST, a well-established numerical tool for the design of wind turbines. Results of these comparisons show that the numerical tools are fit for purpose, and were used to calibrate some hydrodynamic coefficients that cannot be obtained accurately with numerical analysis or scaled model tests.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract With worldwide increases in the demand for hydrocarbons, finding and developing unconventional resources has become a global necessity. Outside North America, shale gas discoveries have been made in recent years; however, significant commercial production has been limited to North America. Finding and developing unconventional resources outside North America is the next big challenge for the oil and gas industry. Although the reported potential of unconventional gas resource volumes in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is almost similar in size to that in the US, exploration and development of such resources is currently limited. Unconventional reservoirs have very different and distinct requirements from conventional reservoirs. The more “unconventional” a targeted resource, the more difficult it is to develop. Furthermore, for these difficult resources, highly specialized technologies have to be applied because of the unique requirements. Key challenges specific to the MENA region include the following: Limited exposure to unconventional sources leads to lack of infrastructure and high cost.Reservoir characteristics (rock and fluid properties) and geomechanics.Implementation of directional/horizontal drilling and completion technologies suited for the region. The most challenging aspect is using hydraulic fracturing (fluid availability and management, fracturing fluid and proppant selection, fracturing design, equipment) as it incurs the highest cost and deploys the maximum technological efforts. This paper highlights these associated challenges in developing unconventional resources and offers a potential approach to evaluate unconventional resources. Additionally, public data are reviewed and emerged technologies are used to unlock the potential of unconventional resources in MENA. A major service company has exhaustive and varied data from different geographies and resource types captured in its MENA state-of-the-art data center. A potential approach is included that extrapolates historically available data relevant to directional drilling, fracture treatment design and analysis, and fluid management to MENA conditions to facilitate understanding and overcome challenges associated with unconventional resources.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The E&P industry all over the world is awakening to the new technology discipline of Geomechanics, recognizing its importance in every operation of hydrocarbons exploitation, from drilling to production. There are specific applications in the early stage of exploitation, e.g. with respect to wellbore stability, sand production, hydraulic fracturing, traversing depleted zones, characterization of fractures and fault sealing capacity. In the later stages of production it can better characterize reservoir subsidence and fracture behavior with pressure evolution. A rigorous application of these methods can add important value to E&P projects. The need for innovative ways to solve the technology challenges planted the seeds of Geomechanics to germinate and grow as a key technology in E&P industry with applications for present and future projects. The vision for the future of this emerging discipline is bright with strong growth in applications. It is especially relevant to meet the challenges posed by many new discoveries, especially unconventional plays, which are often difficult to develop profitably. Geomechanics creates opportunities for improved and integrated project management. It can offer a variety of solutions by integrating conventional E&P technologies with cutting edge numerical, mathematical models that impacts the reservoir production behavior. Major operators were the first to embrace the scientific use of Geomechanics to help develop difficult reservoirs profitably. Also, a few medium-sized oil companies have recognized this potential and, as a consequence, have created Geomechanics teams with in. In this article, the authors provide a bird's eye view of Geomechanics as a core E&P technology supporting mega E&P projects. We discuss the current state of the art of this technology, with special emphasis on applications.

"Restorative justice and the resolution of judicial conflicts: na analysis of the restorative justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE –RJ)."

Full textAbstract:
The analytical and practical field of restorative justice is linked to the debates on the new social conflict management that challenge the institutional design of criminal justice and the Brazilian legal system. When starting from the problematization of the Brazilian criminal justice, we assume that the penalty under neoliberalism presents itself as a societal project that is sustained by the paradox of the potentiation of the police and penitentiary State and the minimization of the economic and social areas of action of the State. Thus, restorative justice emerges as an efficient conflict resolution mechanism, mainly because its criminal approach is based on equating relationships and repairing the damage caused to individuals and communities. In this context, this research aims at analyzing the impact of the implementation of the Restorative Justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE, abbreviation in Portuguese) established by Ordinance 441 of September 13, 2017, within the scope of the social and education units, as well as the challenges presented to those responsible for implementing the law in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (judges, public defenders, members of the Public Prosecution Service and the DEGASE System) inthe management of restorative practices directed at juvenile offenders deprived of freedom. This problematization raises questions about the limits of the definition of crime and punishment; the relationship between criminal law; and the protection of human rights. The research is structured in three stages: systematic review of the academic field of restorative justice and the Brazilian criminal justice system; elaboration of a framework of the experiences of policies developed in the field of restorativejustice in the state of Rio de Janeiro; and the elaboration of the sociodemographic profile of adolescents and their family structure –analyzing the variables:gender, infraction, age group, monthly family income, education, family structure, and territoriality. It is expected to obtain a critical view of the state of the art of literature on restorative justice in the Brazilian criminal justice system and the debate in the field of conflict resolution criminalized by juvenile offenders served by the Restorative Justice Program of the General Department of Social and Education Actions (DEGASE).
