Full textAbstract:
Denna studie är av kvalitativ karaktär och har tagit sin epistemologiska utgångspunkt i gestaltningsteorin för att undersöka digitala representationer av ett tillsynes undangömt nätverk. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Dark web gestaltas i ett urval mediekanaler för att fastställa vanliga representationer av nätverket. Studien ämnar för att besvara i vilka sammanhang som nätverket gestaltas som en risk respektive möjlighet. Studien genomförs med hjälp av kvalitativ textanalys inspirerad av kritisk diskursanalys. Det empiriska materialet hämtades från de fyra mediekanalerna Expressen, Computer World, Sveriges Radio och Tor Blog. Vidare diskuteras termerna anonymitetsparadox och moralpanik i studien eftersom att de visade sig vara av särskild relevans vid forskning av ett sådant digitalt och till synes anonymt mediefenomen. Studiens resultat påvisar att tillgången till ett fritt och anonymiserat Internet tycks blivit en fråga vad avser demokratiska rättigheter. Ur denna aspekt fungerar Dark web som en potentiell lösning mot den kartläggning som förekommer på det traditionella Internet. Computer World hade en uteslutande teknisk gestaltning av Dark web där intresset låg i att presentera teknologin bakom nätverket. Kvällspressen fokuserade huvudsakligen på den kriminalitet som cirkulerar på det dolda nätverket och redogjorde främst för narkotikahandel och kortbedrägerier. Tog Blog belyste både tekniken och anonymitetsaspekten bakom Dark web medan Sveriges Radio visade sig vara det medium som hade mest omfattande och genomgripande porträtteringar vad avser Dark web. Slutligen visade studien att det är i samspelet mellan de risker och möjligheter kring Dark web som paradoxen med anonymitet uppstår.

Full textAbstract:
There is an emerging international phenomenon of new drugs that have not previously existed being manufactured and then traded over the Internet. In many cases law enforcement agencies and customs have problems keeping track of all these new drugs causing them to have problem to make appropriate responses to the situation. Because of this measures are now taken to discover these new drugs early as they emerge by developing systems raising warnings when they recognize patterns of new drug trends. This project investigates ways to find these new drugs as they appear and are being discussed on the Web. Techniques able to interpret the semantic meaning of words, such as the technique random indexing, which has the ability to describe the meaning of words in vectors, are investigated and used to process text gathered from appropriate Internet sources. It is shown that this technique has the capacity to find and extract drug names from text and could be an appropriate component of future systems discovering new drugs being discussed on the Internet.

(3) Proposal of controls according to the proposed categories and criteria. The validation of the proposal was carried out in an insurance institution in Lima, Peru, with data obtained by the institution. The measurement was made with artifacts that allowed to obtain an initial value of the current panorama of the company. Preliminary results showed 196 emails and passwords exposed on the dark web of which one corresponded to the technology manager of the company under evaluation. With this identification, it was diagnosed that the institution was at a “Normal” maturity level, and from the implementation of the proposed controls, the “Advanced” level was reached.

La web oscura es una zona propicia para actividades ilegales de todo tipo. En los últimos tiempos los cibercriminales están cambiando su enfoque hacia el tráfico de informacion (personal o corporativa) porque los riesgos son mucho más bajos en comparación con otros tipos de delito. Hay una gran cantidad de información alojada aquí, pero pocas compañías saben cómo acceder a estos datos, evaluarlos y minimizar el daño que puedan causar.
El presente trabajo propone un modelo de referencia para identificar el nivel de madurez del proceso de Ciber Inteligencia de Amenazas. Esta propuesta considera la información comprometida en la web oscura, originando un riesgo latente que las organizaciones no consideran en sus estrategias de ciberseguridad.
El modelo propuesto tiene como objetivo aumentar el nivel de madurez del proceso mediante un conjunto de controles propuestos de acuerdo a los hallazgos encontrados en la web oscura. El modelo consta de 3 fases:1. Identificación de los activos de información mediante herramientas de Ciber inteligencia de amenazas. 2. Diagnóstico de la exposición de los activos de información. 3. Propuesta de controles según las categorías y criterios propuestos.
La validación de la propuesta se realizó en una institución de seguros en Lima, Perú con datos obtenidos por la institución. Los resultados preliminares mostraron 196 correos electrónicos y contraseñas expuestos en la web oscura de los cuales 1 correspondía al Gerente de Tecnología. Con esta identificación, se diagnosticó que la institución se encontraba en un nivel de madurez “Normal”, y a partir de la implementación de los controles propuestos se llegó al nivel “Avanzado”.The dark web is an area conducive to illegal activities of all kinds. In recent times, cybercriminals are changing their approach towards information trafficking (personal or corporate) because the risks are much lower compared to other types of crime.

Full textAbstract:
Existe no ciberespaço uma web escura e escondida denominada Dark Web. Nesse viés, esta pesquisa objetivou topografar a Dark Web e seus não lugares no Ciberespaço e como objetivos específicos: reunir brevemente as dobras visíveis do ciberespaço; caracterizar as dobras invisíveis do ciberespaço; investigar as especificidades da Dark Web em relação à definição, localização, acesso, conteúdo e mecanismos de busca; contextualizar os seus não lugares de acordo com os preceitos de Augé (2012) e Bauman (2001) e construir um Mapa Conceitual para demonstrar a topografia da Dark Web graficamente. Como procedimento metodológico, esta pesquisa se baseou no método indutivo informal com uso de um formulário para coletar dados na Dark Web. O método dedutivo formal foi utilizado por meio de um corpus teórico a partir do conceito de não lugares para a Dark Web. O estudo teve natureza básica com delineamento documental e abordagem qualitativa. Nas dobras visíveis do ciberespaço foram conceituadas a Web Visível, Indexável ou da Superfície, a Web 2.0 ou Social e a Web 3.0 ou Semântica. Já nas dobras invisíveis, procurou-se definir a Web Invisível ou Deep Web, a Web Oculta, a Web Privada e a Web Verdadeiramente Invisível. A Dark Web foi discutida como a dobra mais profunda e escura do ciberespaço e a Darknet foi dialogada como representante de uma internet escura por redes como o Tor, Freenet e I2P. Os principais resultados demonstram que os conteúdos informacionais da Dark Web são em sua maioria de má índole com envolvimento de crimes pertencentes ao lado da pílula vermelha de The Matrix, o filme. Pressupõe-se com observações no ambiente que 80% dos conteúdos do ambiente esteja no lado da pílula vermelha e 20% no lado azul. Foi considerado que os pontos positivos da Dark Web são a navegação anônima, livre do recebimento de propagandas e de informações estatísticas que geram negócios lucrativos aos mecanismos de busca e também o fato de descartar possíveis espionagens. Com intuito de constituir privacidade no ciberespaço, a navegação nas dobras invisíveis como na Dark Web são também opções que se fomentam como boas práticas no ambiente. A realização de buscas por meio de um mecanismo que opera tanto na superfície quanto na Dark Web, também são destaque nesta pesquisa.Também foi possível identificar que devido a falta de identidade, relação e historicidade com as dobras invisíveis como a Dark Web, esta torna-se um não lugar em essência. A falta de civilidade e interação humana e a característica de ser um lugar de passagem mais uma vez atestaram para a comprovação da Dark Web como um não lugar. O Mapa Conceitual a respeito da Dark Web visou demonstrar a topografia do ambiente, as descobertas conceituais e a relação do objeto estudado com os demais dispersos principalmente sob as dobras do ciberespaço. Acredita-se que os resultados alcançados com este estudo possam contribuir com a CI e ampliar horizontes para outras pesquisas a respeito da temática que é inédita no Brasil.There is in the cyberspace a dark and hidden web called Dark Web. With this bias, this study aimed to topograph the Dark Web and its non-places in the Cyberspace, with the following specific objectives: gather briefly visible folds of the cyberspace; characterize the invisible folds of the cyberspace; investigate the specificities of the Dark Web in relation to definition, location , access, content, and search engines; contextualize its non-places according to the precepts by Augé (2012 ) and Bauman (2001 ) and construct a Conceptual Map to show the topography of the Dark Web graphically. As a methodological approach this research was based on the informal inductive method using a form to collect data in the Dark Web. The formal deductive method was used by means of a theoretical corpus from the concept of non-places for the Dark Web. It was a basic-natured study with documentary design and qualitative approach. In the visible folds of cyberspace, the Visible, Indexable or Surface Web, Web 2.0 or Social, Web 3.0 or Semantic were conceptualized. As for the invisible folds, we sought to define the Invisible Web or Deep Web, the Hidden Web, the Private Web and the Truly Invisible Web. The Dark Web was discussed as the deepest, darkest fold of cyberspace and the Darknet was dialogued as representative of a dark internet for networks like Tor, Freenet and I2P. The main results show that the informational content of the Dark Web are mostly related to illicit activities involving crimes belonging to the red pill from the film The Matrix. It is assumed that, with observations of the environment, 80% of the contents of the environment are on the red pill side and 20% on the blue pill side. It was considered that the positive aspects of the Dark Web is the anonymous navigation, free from advertisements and statistical information that generate profitable business, to search engines, and also the fact of ruling out possible espionage. In order to provide privacy in cyberspace, navigating the invisible folds as in the Dark Web are also options that are considered good practices in the environment. Searches carried out through a mechanism that operates both on the surface and in the Dark Web, are also highlighted in this research. It was also possible to observe that, due to lack of identity, relationship and historicity with invisible folds as the Dark Web, this becomes a non -place in essence. The lack of civility and human interaction and the characteristic of being a temporary place once again testified that the Dark Web is a non-place. The Conceptual Map about the Dark Web aimed to demonstrate the topography of the environment, the conceptual discoveries and the relation of the studied object with the other scattered matter mainly in the folds of cyberspace. It is believed that the results obtained from this study may contribute to the Information Science (IS) and broaden horizons for further research on the topic that is unprecedented in Brazil.

Les observations de la structure à grande échelle de l'Univers sont précieuses pour établir et tester des théories cosmologiques sur son origine et son évolution. Cette démarche requiert des outils appropriés d'assimilation des données, afin d'établir le contact entre les catalogues de galaxies et les modèles de formation des structures.Dans cette thèse, une nouvelle approche pour l'analyse ab initio et simultanée de la formation et de la morphologie de la toile cosmique est présentée : l'algorithme BORG infère les fluctuations de densité primordiales et produit des reconstructions physiques de la distribution de matière noire, en assimilant les relevés de galaxies dans un modèle cosmologique de formation des structures. La méthode, basée sur la théorie bayésienne des probabilités, fournit un moyen de quantifier précisément les incertitudes.On présente l'application de BORG aux données du Sloan Digital Sky Survey et on décrit la structure de l'Univers dans le volume considéré. On démontre que cette approche a mené à la première inférence quantitative des conditions initiales et du scénario de formation des structures observées. On utilise ces résultats pour plusieurs projets cosmographiques visant à analyser et classifier la toile cosmique. En particulier, on construit un catalogue de vides, décrits au niveau de la matière noire et non des galaxies. On présente des cartes probabilistes détaillées de la dynamique de la toile cosmique et on propose une solution générale pour la classification des structures en présence d'incertitude.Les résultats de cette thèse constituent une précise description chrono-cosmographique des inhomogénéités de la structure cosmiqueSurveys of the cosmic large-scale structure carry opportunities for building and testing cosmological theories about the origin and evolution of the Universe. This endeavor requires appropriate data assimilation tools, for establishing the contact between survey catalogs and models of structure formation.In this thesis, we present an innovative statistical approach for the ab initio simultaneous analysis of the formation history and morphology of the cosmic web: the BORG algorithm infers the primordial density fluctuations and produces physical reconstructions of the dark matter distribution that underlies observed galaxies, by assimilating the survey data into a cosmological structure formation model. The method, based on Bayesian probability theory, provides accurate means of uncertainty quantification.We demonstrate the application of BORG to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data and describe the primordial and late-time large-scale structure in the observed volume. We show how the approach has led to the first quantitative inference of the cosmological initial conditions and of the formation history of the observed structures. We then use these results for several cosmographic projects aiming at analyzing and classifying the large-scale structure. In particular, we build an enhanced catalog of cosmic voids probed at the level of the dark matter distribution, deeper than with the galaxies. We present detailed probabilistic maps of the dynamic cosmic web, and offer a general solution to the problem of classifying structures in the presence of uncertainty.The results described in this thesis constitute accurate chrono-cosmography of the inhomogeneous cosmic structure

Full textAbstract:
Not all designs have the user's best in mind. Dark patterns are web design whose goal is to exploit, deceive and negatively affect the consumer. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to give consumers an increased understanding of how they can be affected by dark patterns in their everyday lives. The question "How effective are dark patterns in e-commerce in order to negatively affect consumers' decisions?" was investigated through the use of a web-based survey. Through this survey, the respondents answered questions about their habits and experiences regarding situations where dark patterns are common on e-commerce sites. The study has focused on dark patterns called hidden costs, hidden information, countdown timers, limited-time messages and low stock messages. The survey has revealed that hidden costs was the dark pattern that most effectively fulfills its purpose of negatively affecting the consumer. Limited-time messages were also shown to have a clear impact on consumers' decision-making when purchasing online. Countdown timers as well as low stock messages were shown to have low efficiency in affecting consumers, meanwhile, data regarding hidden information could not show reliable results and needs further research.Inte all design har användarens bästa i åtanke. Dark patterns är webbdesign vars mål är att utnyttja, lura och påverka konsumenten negativt. Med detta som grund är syftet med denna studie att ge konsumenter en ökad förståelse för hur de kan påverkas av dark patterns i sin vardag. Frågeställningen "Hur effektiva är dark patterns inom näthandel i sitt syfte att påverka konsumenters besluttaganden negativt?" undersöktes genom användningen av en webbaserad enkät. Respondenterna har genom denna enkät besvarat frågor om sina vanor och upplevelser angående situationer där dark patterns är vanligt förekommande inom näthandelsidor. Studien har fokuserat på dark patterns vid namn hidden costs, hidden information, countdown timers, limited-time messages och low stock messages. Genom undersökningen har det framkommit att hidden costs var det dark pattern som mest effektivt uppfyller sitt syfte att påverka konsumenten negativt. Limited-time messages visades också ha tydlig påverkan på konsumenters beslutstagande vid onlineköp. Countdown timers samt low stock messages visades ha låg effektivitet i att påverka konsumenter, medan data angående hidden information kunde inte visa pålitliga resultat och behöver vidare forskning.

Denna studie har som mål att ge en inblick i varför och hur Internetanvändare nyttjar Tor Browser och The Dark Web. Nätverket och webbläsaren förknippas ofta med illegal verksamhet, men även med yttrandefrihet och anonymitet. Vi vill undersöka hur användandet av dessa ser ut och skapa en förståelse kring varför individer väljer att vända sig dit. Detta görs med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med sammanlagt nio personer som använder sig av nätverket och webbläsaren. Intervjuerna har genomförts på forumen Flashback Forum, Quora och Reddit genom sajternas privata chattfunktioner. Materialet har sedan analyserats med hjälp av det teoretiska perspektivet Uses and Gratification för att synliggöra vilka sociala och psykologiska behov som tillgodoses genom användandet. Studiens resultat visade att merparten av de intervjuade vände sig till Tor Browser och The Dark Web eftersom att de, i förstahand, var intresserade av illegal verksamhet och använde nätverket samt webbläsaren för att få tillgång till materialet, men även för att göra det svårare för myndigheter att spåra deras aktivitet online. Användandet grundade sig, i andrahand, i ett intresse för yttrandefrihet och anonymitet och det var även dessa ämnen som gjorde att användarna fortsatte att återvända till Tor Browser och The Dark Web.

Full textAbstract:
À grande échelle, la distribution anisotrope de la matière forme un large réseau de vides délimités par des murs qui, avec les filaments présents à leurs intersections, tissent la toile cosmique. La matière qui doit former plus tard les halos de matière noire et leurs galaxies afflue vers les nœuds compacts se situant à l’intersection des filaments et garde dans ce processus une empreinte de la toile cosmique. Dans cette thèse, je développe une extension contrainte de la théorie de l’excursion qui, à l'aide d'un modèle de filament, me permet de montrer que l'environnement anisotrope a un effet sur l'histoire de formation des halos de matière noire. La toile cosmique a donc un rôle dans la formation des halos et de leurs galaxies. Dans un second temps, je construis un modèle qui décrit l'évolution de la toile cosmique (fusion de halos, mais aussi de filaments et de murs) afin de mieux contraindre les modèles de formation de galaxies. Le modèle prédit un excès d'accrétion anisotrope dans les filaments par rapports aux nœuds, biaisant ainsi la formation des galaxies. L'effet de l'accrétion anisotrope sur la formation des galaxies est ensuite étudié à l'aide de simulations hydrodynamiques et d'une nouvelle méthode permettant le suivi précis de l'histoire d'accrétion du gaz. J'y montre que le moment angulaire est transporté efficacement des grandes échelles de la toile cosmique jusque dans les zones internes du halo, où les couples gravitationnels le redistribue au disque de la galaxies et au halo interneThe anisotropic large-scale distribution of matter is made of an extended network of voids delimited by sheets, with filaments at their intersection which together form the cosmic web. Matter that will later form dark matter halos and their galaxies flows towards compact nodes at filaments' intersections and in the process, retains the imprint of the cosmic web. In this thesis, I develop a conditional version of the excursion set theory which, using a model of a large-scale filament, enables me to show that anisotropic environment have an impact on the formation history of dark matter halos. The cosmic web then has a role in the formation of halos and their galaxies. I then build a model that is able to capture the evolution of the cosmic web (halo mergers, but also filament and wall mergers) that can be used to better constrain galaxy formation models. The model predicts that an excess of anisotropic accretion is expected in filaments compared to nodes, so that the formation history of galaxies is biased. The effect of anisotropic accretion on galaxy formation is then studied using hydrodynamical simulations and a novel numerical method tailored to accurately follow the accretion history of the gas. I show that the angular momentum is transported efficiently from the cosmic web down to the inner halo, where gravitational torques redistribute it to the disk and the inner halo

Full textAbstract:
This thesis details the theoretical framework, methods, and results of the design project “Log In or Sign up”. The result of this project is an ebook sharing the same title. It consists of short stories and poems that revolve around digital surveillance and its effects on the self and society. The writings explore how the digital sur- veillance ecosystem affects our behavior and self-image in ways that we might not even realize. The context is our digital lives in a time where we rely more and more on the internet for our daily activities. The writings attempt to portray the emo- tions we go through while using digital platforms that are designed to extract our personal data. The stories and poems are presented in an interactive layout. Along with the aforementioned topics this thesis also addresses the responsibility of design in creating advanced digital surveillance methods created by companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft. For example, through the gami- fication of social media, deceptive presentation of data protection rights, and cura- tion of content for emotional effect.

Full textAbstract:
Il Web ha subito numerose trasformazioni rispetto al passato. Si è passati da un Web statico, in cui l'unica possibilità era quella di leggere i contenuti della pagina, ad un Web dinamico e interattivo come quello dei social network. Il Web moderno è, ancora oggi, un universo in espansione. La possibilità di arricchire le pagine con contenuti interattivi, video, foto e molto altro, rende l'esperienza web sempre più coinvolgente. Inoltre la diffusione sempre più ampia di mobile device ha reso necessaria l'introduzione di nuovi strumenti per sfruttare al meglio le funzionalità di tali dispositivi. Esistono al momento tantissimi linguaggi di scripting e di programmazione, ma anche CMS che offrono a chiunque la possibilità di scrivere e amministrare siti web. Nonostante le grandi potenzialità che offrono, spesso queste tecnologie si occupano di ambiti specifici e non permettono di creare sistemi omogenei che comprendano sia client che server. Dart si inserisce proprio in questo contesto. Tale linguaggio dà a i programmatori la possibilità di poter sviluppare sia lato client sia lato server. L'obiettivo principale di questo linguaggio è infatti la risoluzione di alcune problematiche comuni a molti programmatori web. Importante in questo senso è il fatto di rendere strutturata la costruzione di programmi web attraverso l'uso di interfacce e classi. Fornisce inoltre un supporto per l'integrazione di svariate funzionalità che allo stato attuale sono gestite da differenti tecnologie. L'obiettivo della presente tesi è quello di mettere a confronto Dart con alcune delle tecnologie più utilizzate al giorno d'oggi per la programmazione web-based. In particolare si prenderanno in considerazione JavaScript, jQuery, node.js e CoffeeScript.

Full textAbstract:
The first stars in the Universe are thought to have formed in high dark matter density minihalos about 200 million years after the Big Bang. If these stars were able to contract dark matter into their stellar core while forming, some of them might have turned into dark stars (DSs) powered by the heat from dark matter annihilation. The possibilities for detection of DSs with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scheduled for launch in 2021, is investigated in this work. With DS models generated in Spolyar et al. (2009) and atmosphere spectra from Gustafsson et al. (2008), spectral analysis has been carried out in MATLAB to find the unique colors of DSs compared to galaxies generated in Zackrisson et al. (2017) at z ≈ 7 − 11. It was found that lower temperature DSs (Teff ≤ 7800K) are distinguishable from galaxies and that they would be bright enough to be detected with the JWST provided a magnification factor of µ ≈ 160−1000 with the use of gravitational lensing. More recent DS models reveal that the DS of temperature Teff = 7800K is detectable even without the use of gravitational lensing. However, the probability of finding one today is really small due to DSs’ presumably short lifetime. The results of this work are hoped to give a better understanding of the properties of DSs and to increase the probability of finding one in the large imaging survey carried out by the JWST.De första stjärnorna i universum antas ha bildats i minihalos med hög densitet av mörk materia omkring 200 miljoner år efter Big Bang. Om dessa stjärnor kunde dra till sig mörk materia under sitt bildande kan vissa av dem ha utvecklats till mörka stjärnor (s.k. dark stars) med mörk materia som energikälla. I detta arbete undersöks möjligheterna att upptäcka dem med det kommande James Webb Space Teleskopet (JWST) som planeras för uppskjutning år 2021. Med dark starmodeller genererade i Spolyar et al. (2009) och atmosfärspektra från Gustafsson et al. (2008) har spektralanalys utförts i MATLAB för att hitta vilka dark stars som går att urskilja från galaxer genererade i Zackrisson et al. (2017) vid z ≈ 7−11. Det visade sig att dark stars med låg temperatur (Teff ≤ 7800K) är urskiljbara och att de flesta av dessa dark stars, vid en förstoringsfaktor av µ ≈ 160−1000 vid användning av gravitationell linsning, är tillräckligt ljusstarka för att kunna detekteras. Jämfört med senare dark star-modeller skulle även Teff = 7800K DSs kunna detekteras utan användning av gravitaionell linsning. Sannolikheten att hitta en dark star är fortfarande väldigt liten på grund av dess förmodade korta livstid. Resultaten av detta arbete hoppas kunna ge en bättre förståelse för egenskaperna hos mörka stjärnor samt öka sannolikheten för detektion med JWST.

Internet har inneburit nya möjligheter för mänskligheten att kommunicera och organisera sig. I denna uppsats beger vi oss till utkanterna av nätet för att utforska ett sexköpsforum online med inriktning mot thaimassagesalonger. Med hjälp av netnografisk metod och utifrån sociologisk teori undersöks normer och organisering på forumet med fokus på förstagångsbesökaren. En lättare undersökning av förekomst av sexuell tjänst som beskriven av forumets medlemmar återfinns. Studiens resultat tyder på att det analyserade forumet har bidragit till att inspirera och lära förstagångsbesökare till att erhålla sexuella tjänster. Vidare identifieras ett, utanför det publika forumet, informationsubyte av komprometterande information där exakta anvisningar och platsdata utbyts medlemmar emellan. Detta sker i det så kallade privata meddelandetAlong with the rise of the Internet human interaction, communication and organisaiton have come to see new opportunities. In this study we will explore the fringes of the internet to explore a forum discussing thaimassage with sexual services also known as Happy Ending. Thanks to netnographic methods and sociological and criminological theory we will put the sex buyer in a social context. Extra focus is given to the first timer. The results of this study shows that criminal or deviant behavior can be learned from a forum online. In particular that the first time sexbuyer gets inspiration from and help to learn how to become a sexbuyer. Other results include the organisational setup surrounding the analyzed forum as well as a brief quantitative calculation on occurences of Happy Endings.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MAWe Dare Not Say is an anthology of seven interlinked short stories with the general theme of intergenerational trauma among coloured families in Cape Town. The stories are arranged in a montage of internally, variably and externally focalised narratives that span over a century, from 1900 through to 2015, and are fictionalised accounts of real events, categorising them as biographical fiction. Some of the specific topics covered in the stories include incest, molestation, substance abuse, mental illness and humour as a coping mechanism. The body of work is conceived in the context of the twentieth century trauma narrative, the complexities of which run as undercurrents through most of the important English literary works created in South Africa since the 1800s up until John M. Coetzee, but which has often lacked a female perspective, especially women of colour. The stories in this volume aim to depict a group of people, who, through centuries of oppression in the form of serfdom, servitude and segregation, have developed various coping mechanisms to make sense of their own identity in an absurdly cruel social landscape. The stories focus on the inward turning of violence, substance abuse, silence and humour as survival mechanisms after generations of trauma that have been, in a sense, the hallmarks of coloured South Africa. The stories are told using a split narrative method, showing multiple viewpoints of the same story with perspectives ranging from young to old, crossing the gender divide in both time and space. Ultimately, We Dare Not Say, is a depiction of the complexities of lives lived under oppression, and the triumphs and challenges faced in trying to resolve, live through or deny the effects of such oppression on a group and the individuals that make up that group.

Full textAbstract:
Nell’ultimo decenno si è assisitito ad una frenetica evoluzione delle tecnologie di connessione e trasferimento dati, dagli impianti di fibra ottica sempre più diffusi e performanti, alle varie tecnologie mobile UMTS e LTE. Tutto ciò ha permesso a sempre più persone di poter spendere una maggiore fetta del proprio tempo sulla rete sia per svago che per lavoro. Questo ha portato col tempo l’utente interattivo alla ricerca di servizi remoti che prima usufruiva in locale, sia per motivi di portabilità e di interconnessione, sia per una semplice questione di sincronizzazione fra i vari dispositivi posseduti. Il presente progetto di tesi si pone come obiettivo di indagare con occhio ingegneristico all’evoluzione della struttura del web fino ad identificare e analizzare l’attuale necessità di poter avere in rete tutti quei servizi anche completi e strutturalmente complessi che prima si aveva sul proprio desktop; tutto ciò attraverso l’esempio di un nuovo linguaggio di sviluppo per applicazioni web strutturate proposto da Google: DART. In questa analisi non si potrà prescindere dallo studio attento della tecnologia che sin dagli inizi della rete ha fatto da struttura al web ovvero l’Html e il suo ultimo standard Hmtl5. Nella prima parte verrà mostrata, attraverso un breve percorso, la nascita e lo sviluppo del web, sino ai giorni nostri. Si effettuerà quindi una panoramica, rivisitando tutti più importanti passi che hanno portato la rete internet ad essere ciò che oggi utilizziamo, ponendo una particolare attenzione alle attuali esigenze di progettazione della struttura dei servizi web. Nel secondo capitolo viene introdotta la tecnologia a base del web, l’Html; attraverso una breve analisi dell’evoluzione di quest’ultima si arriverà sino all’attuale HTML5 e alle funzionalità offerte nell’ottica della programmazione web strutturata. Nel terzo capitolo si analizzerà in maniera più approfondita la necessità di un web strutturato e le potenzialità del progetto Dart attraverso alcuni esempi esplicativi. Infine si trarranno alcune conclusioni sull’attuale situazione del web, sulla necessità di un web strutturato e sulla possibilità di riuscita del progetto Dart.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om och isfall hur parallellklippning bidrar till att skapa spänning i filmen The Dark Knight (2008). Tre scener som visar på tre olika stadier av spänning har analyserats för att se vilken påverkan parallellklippningen har för att skapa spänning samt hur dessa parallella handlingar binds ihop och om det finns någon primär handling. Med hjälp av Moritz Lehne och Stefan Koelsch undersökning om spänningens komponenter samt valda klipptekniker undersöks vilken påverkan parallellklippningen har för att skapa spänning. David Bordwell och Kristin Thompson teori om fyra dimensioner av klippning används för att undersöka hur de parallella handlingarna binds ihop. För att svara på om det finns någon primär handling används ett tidslinjediagram över parallellklippningen i scenerna. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att parallellklippningen har bidragit till att skapa spänning i The Dark Knight men är endast en faktor av flera som bygger spänning. Genom att kombinera parallellklippning med dramatisk betoning och rytm skapas spänning. De parallella handlingarna binds ihop genom att fokusområdet bibehålls över klippet vilket skapar ett flyt i bildflödet. De primära handlingarna i scenerna visas genom den frekventa återkopplingen till just denna handling.

Full textAbstract:
Web is constantly evolving, thanks to the 2.0 transition, HTML5 new features and the coming of cloud-computing, the gap between Web and traditional desktop applications is tailing off. Web-apps are more and more widespread and bring several benefits compared to traditional ones. On the other hand reference technologies, JavaScript primarly, are not keeping pace, so a paradim shift is taking place in Web programming, and so many new languages and technologies are coming out. First objective of this thesis is to survey the reference and state-of-art technologies for client-side Web programming focusing in particular on what concerns concurrency and asynchronous programming. Taking into account the problems that affect existing technologies, we finally design simpAL-web, an innovative approach to tackle Web-apps development, based on the Agent-oriented programming abstraction and the simpAL language.
==
Versione in italiano: Il Web è in continua evoluzione, grazie alla transizione verso il 2.0, alle nuove funzionalità introdotte con HTML5 ed all’avvento del cloud-computing, il divario tra le applicazioni Web e quelle desktop tradizionali va assottigliandosi. Le Web-apps sono sempre più diffuse e presentano diversi vantaggi rispetto a quelle tradizionali. D’altra parte le tecnologie di riferimento, JavaScript in primis, non stanno tenendo il passo, motivo per cui la programmazione Web sta andando incontro ad un cambio di paradigma e nuovi linguaggi e tecnologie stanno spuntando sempre più numerosi.
Primo obiettivo di questa tesi è di passare al vaglio le tecnologie di riferimento ed allo stato dell’arte per quel che riguarda la programmmazione Web client-side, porgendo particolare attenzione agli aspetti inerenti la concorrenza e la programmazione asincrona. Considerando i principali problemi di cui soffrono le attuali tecnologie passeremo infine alla progettazione di simpAL-web, un approccio innovativo con cui affrontare lo sviluppo di Web-apps basato sulla programmazione orientata agli Agenti e sul linguaggio simpAL.

Full textAbstract:
Negli ultimi anni il mondo intero ha assistito ad una crescita esponenziale dell'utilizzo di Internet dovuto in gran parte all’esplosione di popolarità dei social media. Essi sono parte integrante della comunicazione odierna e per questo contengono una enorme quantità di informazioni che, se correttamente estratte, possono essere di fondamentale importanza a supporto delle decisioni. Questo specifico utilizzo dei social media è di estrema utilità per gli obiettivi del progetto DARE, un’iniziativa nata nella realtà Ravennate che ha come scopo la riqualifica di un’area cittadina seguendo un ampio schema di digitalizzazione e innovazione, mettendo in primo piano le opinioni e proposte dei cittadini. Per raccogliere queste ultime risulta infatti necessario uno strumento in grado di analizzare le interazioni con i contenuti pubblicati dalle pagine social del progetto, ovvero una piattaforma di social media sensing. L’obiettivo dell’elaborato è proprio questo: realizzare una piattaforma, basata su architettura cloud, in grado di estrarre metriche ed informazioni utili per il team di DARE. Sebbene alcune delle interazioni presenti sui social media siano semplici da comprendere perché in forma numerica (come ad esempio il numero di condivisioni, il numero di Like e/o altre forme di reazioni e feedback), altre (come i commenti testuali) richiedono una fase di elaborazione aggiuntiva per poter essere utilizzate. Si introduce quindi l’utilizzo della Sentiment Analysis, uno strumento derivante dal Natural Language Processing che ha come scopo quello di estrarre informazioni relative al sentimento contenuto nel testo. Quest’ultimo aspetto è ampiamente discusso nel primo capitolo dell’elaborato, seguito dalla descrizione della fase di progettazione e implementazione della piattaforma presentate rispettivamente nel secondo e terzo capitolo. È infine presente un capitolo conclusivo che contiene una guida all’utilizzo della piattaforma.

Tens of billions of dollars are spent on manned and unmanned missions probing deeper into space, while 95% of Earth's oceans remain unexplored. The more intensive focus on space exploration is a historically recent phenomenon. For millennia until the mid-20th century, space and ocean exploration proceeded roughly at the same pace, driven by military and commercial interests as well as simple curiosity. Both date back to early civilization when star-gazers scanned the skies, and sailors and free-divers scoured the seas. Since the 1960s, however, the trajectories of exploration diverged dramatically. Cold War-inspired geopolitical-military imperatives propelled government funding of space research to an extraordinary level, while ocean exploration stagnated in comparison. Moreover, although the Cold War ended more than 20 years ago, the disparity in research efforts remains vast despite evidence that accelerating changes in our marine ecosystems directly threatens our wellbeing. This thesis reviews the history of space and ocean exploration through the Cold War to the present. It also dispels persistent misconceptions that led to the disparity in resources allocated between space and ocean exploration and argues for prioritizing ocean research.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to gain a better understanding of the relatively new concept of Brand Hate. More specifically, how Brand Hate can occur in people with no to little experience with certain brands, so called non-customers. We want to believe that humans are a rational being that takes decisions based on all the available information and does not jump to conclusions before all options have been exhausted. But upon closer examination theoretical concepts such as brand love can be found. A concept that argues that users of a brand utilize the brand itself in order to internally identify values he or she holds, as well as showcasing those values and personality traits externally to others. With this theory as a basis the relatively new concept of Brand Hate was born. The new concept, posits that there has to be another side of the brand love, where people actually hate or dislike the brand. Up to this point very little research has been done within the area, and that is where the authors of this thesis saw an opportunity to fill a research gap. There has been no previous research attempting to understand WHY these negative feelings comes to present themselves within people. But as soon as the work on the thesis had started another opportunity presented itself, it seemed as though people hate or dislike brands that they themselves does not even use. As a result non-customers became the focal point of investigation of this thesis. The research itself included three different focus groups, with in total nineteen respondents that discussed a wide variety of topics. During the sessions the discussions touched upon what brands they disliked, why they disliked them and how the respondents identified with other groups of people. This gave the authors the ability to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological reasoning behind why certain brands the respondents did not use were severely hated or disliked. The findings from the research seem to point in one very specific direction, group identification is an integral reason why non-customers started to hate or dislike brands. No matter how good companies are creating an appealing brand, that same brand will always risk to become distorted, as a result of the different targeted user groups. This research shows that people let their emotions and prejudices come between what they perceive a brand to be, and what companies want them to be. The result is people prematurely judging brands based upon the customers of that brand. If the respondents did not like the user group of a certain brand, that same brand would be inscribed with all the negative connotations with the user groups, thereby distorting the public brand image far from what the companies might intend them to be.

Full textAbstract:
Quando si parla di architetture di controllo in ambito Web, il Modello ad Eventi è indubbiamente quello più diffuso e adottato. L’asincronicità e l’elevata interazione con l’utente sono caratteristiche tipiche delle Web Applications, ed un architettura ad eventi, grazie all’adozione del suo tipico ciclo di controllo chiamato Event Loop, fornisce un'astrazione semplice ma sufficientemente espressiva per soddisfare tali requisiti. La crescita di Internet e delle tecnologie ad esso associate, assieme alle recenti conquiste in ambito di CPU multi-core, ha fornito terreno fertile per lo sviluppo di Web Applications sempre più complesse. Questo aumento di complessità ha portato però alla luce alcuni limiti del modello ad eventi, ancora oggi non del tutto risolti. Con questo lavoro si intende proporre un differente approccio a questa tipologia di problemi, che superi i limiti riscontrati nel modello ad eventi proponendo un architettura diversa, nata in ambito di IA ma che sta guadagno popolarità anche nel general-purpose: il Modello ad Agenti. Le architetture ad agenti adottano un ciclo di controllo simile all’Event Loop del modello ad eventi, ma con alcune profonde differenze: il Control Loop. Lo scopo di questa tesi sarà dunque approfondire le due tipologie di architetture evidenziandone le differenze, mostrando cosa significa affrontare un progetto e lo sviluppo di una Web Applications avendo tecnologie diverse con differenti cicli di controllo, mettendo in luce pregi e difetti dei due approcci.

Full textAbstract:
Globally, postpartum care is a neglected area in the continuum of maternal and newborn services. Facilitation interventions focusing on addressing local problems report positive results in improving the health of mothers and newborns in low-resource settings. The aim of this thesis was to investigate a facilitation intervention to improve postpartum care at government-owned health institutions in a low-resource suburb of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A before-and-after study design was used to describe and evaluate the intervention in this thesis. Data were collected using mixed methods in the intervention group and the control group, before and after the intervention and were used for making comparisons. The baseline studies showed that postpartum care practices were next to non-existent at the institutions, that most healthcare providers had high levels of knowledge, positive attitudes towards postpartum care and declared themselves ready to engage in its improvement. Mothers coming with their newborns for immunisation were satisfied with the services. The intervention to improve postpartum care involved healthcare providers in six geographical clusters, each including 3–6 institutions, with one facilitator for each cluster. Using a participatory approach, they facilitated colleagues in identifying and addressing the provision of postpartum care at institutions. Data were collected among healthcare providers, facilitators and mothers using: focus group discussions; questionnaires; observations; and interviews, and by making field notes, written at each institution. In the intervention, facilitators and healthcare providers used four strategies to improve postpartum care:increasing awareness and knowledge on postpartum care of healthcare providers and mothers; mobilising professional and material resources; improving care routines, communication and documentation; and promoting an empowering and collaborative work style. The endline evaluation showed that postpartum care was conducted in the intervention group with some care items performed for 80% of observed mothers. The quality grading, which involved nine experts and was based on national guidelines, showed that none of the healthcare providers reached the level of good quality of care. In the comparison group, postpartum care continued to be next to non-existent. The healthcare providers’ knowledge increased in both groups but to a higher extent in the intervention group. The t-test indicated a significant difference in knowledge between the intervention and comparison groups and between before and after the intervention in both groups. The difference in differences for knowledge was 1.3. The attitudes showed no major difference between baseline and endline in the intervention and comparison groups. This facilitation intervention was an acceptable and applicable approach and indicates promising results in improving the quality of postpartum care and in increasing mothers’ attendance.

Full textAbstract:
Dans la Chine du IIIè siècle, les mutations politiques et intellectuelles considérables survenues après l’effondrement des Han favorisent l’éveil d’une conscience inédite de l’individu, ainsi que l’émergence de nouvelles tendances philosophiques (le néo-taoïsme de l’Étude du Mystère) et l’apparition d’une activité artistique en rupture avec la tradition qui s’est imposée durant quatre siècles d’hégémonie confucéenne. La musique, qui occupe une place d’élection dans la vie des lettrés, voit évoluer le statut et la pratique auxquels elle était jusqu’alors confinée, l’outil moralisateur au service de la concorde sociale s’affirmant désormais comme une distraction libre et privée, affranchie de ses finalités politiques et civilisatrices. Notre travail prend pour objet les conceptions de la musique qui ont vu le jour dans ce contexte de l’avènement esthétique et d’une valorisation sans précédent des émotions individuelles. En nous concentrant plus particulièrement sur Ruan Ji 阮籍 (210-263) et Ji Kang 嵇康 (223-262), figures de proue de la pléiade des Sept Sages de la Forêt de Bambous et éminents poètes, philosophes et musiciens, nous avons cherché à étudier la réflexion esthétique qui s’élabore dans leurs écrits autour des questions de l’origine et la nature de la musique, de ses fonctions morales et sociales, de son utilisation politique ou macrobiotique, de ses vertus éthiques ou diététiques, ou encore de son lien aux émotions. L’analyse textuelle est complétée par celle de pratiques ou de gestes musicaux : le sifflement chez Ruan Ji, la cithare chez Ji Kang, qui donnent corps aux discours et illustrent leur mise en œuvre concrète dans la vie de ces auteurs. De sorte que l’esthétique ne se définit plus seulement comme un discours, mais aussi comme un ethos, et que l’effort d’affranchissement de la musique est contemporain d’une d’émancipation des sujets mêmes de l’expérience esthétiqueIn third-century China, the huge political and intellectual mutations occurring after the collapse of the Han dynasty result in the awakening of a new self-consciousness of man and the emergence of new philosophical trends (the so called Dark Learning), or also an artistic activity breaking off with four centuries of Confucian orthodoxy. Music, which occupies a privileged position in the life of literati, evolves as well, as far as its traditional status and practice are both concerned. No more considered a tool of moralization for the sake of civilized order or social harmony, it becomes a private and free distraction, emancipated from political or any other pragmatic purpose. The conceptions of music appearing in this context of nascent aesthetics provide the subject matter of our research. Focusing on Ruan Ji 阮籍 (210-263) and Ji Kang 嵇康 (223-262), two leading figures of the well-known literati group “the Seven Sages of the bamboo grove” who were also famous poets, thinkers and musicians, we attempt to examine their aesthetic thought throughout their main writings on music, concerning issues such as the origins and nature of music, its moral or social functions, its political or macrobiotic use, its ethical or dietetic virtues, and also its relation to man’s emotions. The textual analysis is completed by the study of musical practices or gestures (Ruan Ji’s whistling, Ji Kang’s playing the zither), that illustrate the effective application of their ideas in concrete life. Therefore, aesthetics does not only consist in a mere discourse, but becomes a kind of ethos, in which the emancipation of music is inseparable from that of the individual himself, through his aesthetic experience

This document is the resulting artefact of an intership proposed by Dognaedis, Lda to the University of Coimbra. Dognaedis is a cyber security company, that uses the information gathered by the tools at its disposal to be able to protect its clients. There was, however, a void that needed to be filled from the sources of information that were monitored: the dark web. In order to fill that void, this intership was created. Its goal is to specify, and implement, a solution for a dark web intelligence module for one of the company’s products, Portolan. The goal of this module is to crawl websites ”hidden” in anonymity networks and extract intelligence from them, in order to extend the sources of information of the platform. As a result, in this document the reader will find information that refers to the research work, that comprises the state of the art regarding web crawlers and information extractors, which allowed the identification of useful techniques and technologies. The specification of the solution for the problem is also presented, including requirement analysis and architectural design. This includes the exposition of the functionalities proposed, the final architecture and the reasons behind the decisions that were made. The reader will also be presented with a description of the development methodology that was followed and a description of the implementation itself, exposing the functionalities of the module and how they were achieved. Finally, there is also the explanation of the validation process, that was conducted to ensure that the final product matched the specification.

Full textAbstract:
With the appearance of the Internet, open to everyone in 1991, criminals saw a big
opportunity in moving their organisations to the World Wide Web, taking advantage of
these infrastructures as it allowed higher mobility and scalability. Later on, in the year
2000, the first system appeared, creating what is known today as the Dark Web. This
layer of the World Wide Web became quickly the option to go when criminals wanted to
sell and deliver content such as match-fixing, children pornography, drugs market, guns
market, etc. This obscure side of the Dark Web, makes it a relevant topic to study in order
to tackle this huge network and help to identify these malicious activities and actors.
In this master thesis, it is shown through the study of two datasets from the Dark
Web, that we are surrounded by capable technologies that can be applied to these types
of problems in order to increase our knowledge about the data and reveal interesting
characteristics in an interactive and useful way. One dataset has 10 000 relations from
domains living in the Dark Web, and the other dataset has thousands of data from just 11
specific domains from the Dark Web.
We reveal detailed information about each dataset by applying di↵erent analysis and
data mining algorithms. For the first dataset we studied domains availability patterns
with temporal analysis, we categorised domains with machine learning neural networks
and we reveal the network topology and nodes relevance with social networks analysis
and core-periphery model. Regarding the second dataset, we created a cross matching
information web graph and applied a name entity recognition algorithm which ended
in a tool for identifying entities within dark web’s domains. All of these approaches
culminated in an interactive web application where we publicly not only display the
entire research but also the tools developed along with the project (https://darkor.org).Com o surgimento da Internet, aberta a todos em 1991, os criminosos viram uma grande oportunidade em passar as suas organizações para a World Wide Web, aproveitando-se assim dessas infraestruturas que permitiam uma maior mobilidade e escalabilidade. Mais tarde, no ano 2000, surgiu o primeiro sistema, criando o que hoje é conhecido como a Dark Web. Essa camada da World Wide Web tornou-se rapidamente a opção a seguir quando os criminosos queriam vender e entregar conteúdo como combinação de resultados, pornografia infantil, mercado de drogas, mercado de armas, etc. Este lado obscuro da Dark Web, torna-a num tema relevante de estudo a fim de ajudar a identificar atividades e atores maliciosos. Nesta dissertação de mestrado é mostrado, através do estudo de dois conjuntos de dados da Dark Web, que estamos rodeados de tecnologias que podem ser aplicadas neste tipo de problemas de forma a aumentar o nosso conhecimento sobre os dados e revelar características interessantes de forma interativa e útil. Um conjunto de dados tem 10 000 relações de domínios que vivem na Dark Web enquanto que o outro conjunto de dados tem milhares de dados de apenas 11 domínios específicos da Dark Web. Neste estudo revelamos informações detalhadas sobre cada conjunto de dados aplicando diferentes análises e algoritmos de data mining. Para o primeiro conjunto de dados, estudamos padrões de disponibilidade de domínios com análise temporal, categorizamos domínios com o auxílio de redes neuronais e revelamos a topologia da rede e a relevância dos nós com análise de redes sociais e a aplicação de um modelo núcleo-periferia. Em relação ao segundo conjunto de dados, criamos um grafo da rede com cruzamento de dados e aplicamos um algoritmo de reconhecimento de entidades que resultou em uma ferramenta para identificar entidades dentro dos domínios da Dark Web estudados. Todas estas abordagens culminaram em uma aplicação web interativa onde exibimos publicamente não apenas todo o estudo, mas também as ferramentas desenvolvidas ao longo do projeto (https://darkor.org).

Dissertação de Mestrado em Design e Multimédia apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.O rápido desenvolvimento das tecnologias de comunicação, sobretudo na internet, conduziu à necessidade de prestar mais atenção a fatores humanos que vão para além da especialidade das ciências da computação. Com a evolução dos meios de divulgação de produtos, empresas e instituições, sobretudo a partir do início do séc XXI, a web integrou-se mais na vida das pessoas. Houve mudanças significativas na forma como as pessoas usam e acedem à internet e, como tal, as ferramentas de divulgação online tiveram de acompanhar a mudança, modificando a forma como as plataformas web são projetadas. A presente dissertação assenta na criação de uma estratégia de comunicação para o Departamento de Arquitetura da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra, concretizada através do desenho de um website e de uma brochura sustentados no conceito transmedia. O projeto estabelece uma ação estrategicamente planeada que implica a utilização de múltiplos canais interrelacionados e sincronizados, criando vários pontos de ligação entre si. Pretende constituir-se como veículo de comunicação com o exterior, fornecendo informação acerca da oferta formativa do departamento e os docentes, sobre o trabalho desenvolvido pelos alunos em contexto académico e as notícias sobre o departamento. Este trabalho surge no âmbito do mestrado de Design e Multimédia e pretende colocar em prática os fundamentos ali adquiridos e aprofundar conhecimentos ao nível das tecnologias de interface, design de interação e web design. A imagem do Departamento de Arquitetura da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra é atualmente divulgada através do site institucional da universidade. No entanto, este parece constituir uma resposta insatisfatória para a consecução dos objetivos concretos do departamento. Logo, este projeto procura responder a uma necessidade real, uma vez que tenta disponibilizar um meio digital eficaz, envolvente e estimulante que permita ao DARQ promover a sua “marca” distintiva e única.
The fast development of communication technologies, chiefly the internet, led to the need of paying more attention to human factors that go beyond computing sciences. With the evolution of the means of communication of products, companies and institutions, mainly after the beginning of the 21st century, the web is more incorporated in people’s lives. There were significant changes in the way people use and access internet. As a result, the online communication tools had to follow the change, modifying the way web platforms are designed. This paper aims at planning and developing a communication strategy for the Department of Architecture of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology at the University of Coimbra, through the design of a website and a brochure, based on the transmedia concept. The project consists of a strategically planned action which involves the use of multiple interrelated and synchronized channels, generating several interconnected points. The goal is to produce a means of communication with the outside, providing information about the courses, the teachers, the students’ academic work and news about the department. This work is the result of the integration of the theoretical knowledge acquired during the Master’s Degree in Design and Multimedia and the consolidation of matters such as interface technologies, interaction design and web design. The image of the Department of Architecture of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology is currently presented through the institutional site of the University of Coimbra. However, this platform seems to be an unsatisfactory way to achieve the concrete objectives of the department. This way, this project tries to answer to a real requirement, as it attempts to offer a proficient, involving and stimulating digital means that allows DARQ to promote its distinctive and unique “brand”.

O avanço tecnológico tem elevado cada vez mais o número de empresas do Setor Agrícola, Pecuário e Florestal que recorrem ao uso das tecnologias para melhorar processos do quotidiano e a sua competitividade no mercado. Contudo, a literatura carece de dados sobre a produtividade bem como a satisfação dos trabalhadores após o processo de transformação digital nas empresas deste Setor.
A presente dissertação descreve a transformação digital dos processos manuais de uma empresa florestal seguindo a metodologia Design Science Research. Os processos manuais foram substituídos por uma solução web-based que incluiu a utilização de uma base de dados em postgress com uma extensão especial para a área de atuação, Backend em JAVA; e Frontend em Angular7. Para avaliar se os objetivos foram alcançados, realizaram-se testes unitários, de sistema, de integração e de aceitação. Por fim, avaliou-se a alteração do nível de satisfação e produtividade dos colaboradores após a transformação digital, através de questionário e entrevista.
Os resultados apresentaram uma melhoria da satisfação e da produtividade dos funcionários, à semelhança de empresas de outros setores. Contudo, no futuro este estudo deverá ser replicado num maior número de empresas do setor.Technological advances have highly increased the number of companies in the Agricultural, Livestock, and forestry sectors that invest in the use of technology to improve the daily processes and it's competitive in the market. However, the literature lacks data on the productivity and satisfaction of employees after the digital transformation of processes in companies of these sectors. This dissertation describes a digital transformation of the manual processes of a forest company through the Design Science Research methodology. The manual processes were replaced by a web-based solution that included a database developed using Postgress with a special extension to this specific area, Backend developed in JAVA, and Frontend in Angular7. To evaluate if the goals were achieved some tests were carried out: individual tests, tests of the system, integration, and acceptance. In the end, it was assessed if the levels of satisfaction and productivity were changed after the digital transformation, though questionaries and interviews. The results showed improvement in both employee satisfaction and productivity, similar to companies in other sectors. On the other hand, in the future, this study should be replicated in a bigger number of companies in the forest sector.
