The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many around the world, some more than others, having socioeconomic impacts around the globe. Due to its rapid spread many countries implemented restrictions, such as quarantines to uphold social distancing between its citizens. In addition, the coronavirus has not only affected people’s way of life but also many companies’ financial health worldwide. This pandemic’s side effects has resulted in increased digital transformation, causing many companies without the required infrastructure to rapidly implement mechanism and strategies to handle this type of work style. This studies aim is to give an insight in employee’s experiences and reactions to a rapid digital implementation, in a company without the infrastructure in place. With the help of an inductive approach and a multi level framework, four themes emerged from the interviews conducted ImplementationConsequences, Organizational Support, Expectations of Digital Implementation and Work-related Differences. The results showed that there is a discrepancy between the necessary factors for a successful implementation, highlighted in the model used and the respondent’s answers. Linked to this was the gender differences, a new factor arising from the data collected, emphasising the difficulties linked to teleworking but affecting a proactive use of digital tools, and hence lowering the work productivity. Even though there were differences, there were also parables showing that acceptance, attitude, and involvement in the implementation, among other factors are crucial for an openness towards digitalization. Finally, these factors and their relationship with digital implementation as well as the pandemic were explored trough a multi level framework.

This qualitative study is constructive in its nature and it aims to find how remote workers perceive usability of communication features across different tools and platforms. Answering two main research questions; How do remote users perceive usability of communication features across different communication tools and platforms? and How, according to users, that features can be improved?, this research aims to link them with scholarly literature, find potential knowledge gaps and highlight improvement areas. Learnability, efficiency, universality and general satisfaction are researched within five participants, coming from different sectors and occupations. Usability in IS context connects ICT with HCI. Trends, challenges and solutions in remote work field lead us to different practices in work and knowledge sharing. Thematic analysis brings seven main themes that show satisfactory results in general. However, dissatisfaction is addressed to efficiency and universality with functionality of communication tools and platforms which falls within ICT, and learnability within its human component, HCI. Furthermore, three step solution is proposed: organizational readiness, standards in communication practice and soft skills. Contributions of this research confirm importance of human component that defines usability in remote field. General usability and satisfaction with ICT and its components is confirmed and improvement areas are addressed within HCI. This research serves as a good base for research of usability of same communication features across different channels however, comparing on-site and remote workers within specific fields.

A presente tese tem como objeto de estudo o amparo legal da saúde do trabalhador offshore, através da análise interdisciplinar do Anexo II da Norma Regulamentadora n°30; de Convenções Internacionais da Organização Internacional do Trabalho e do Sistema da Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 18001:2007. O estudo aborda os tipos de plataformas, como se estrutura o trabalho offshore na Bacia de Campos (RJ); os principais acidentes no passado e como se encontram, atualmente, as condições de trabalho e segurança nas plataformas e os problemas físicos, emocionais e profissionais do trabalhador das plataformas. A tese também apresenta a atuação da Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis na prevenção de acidentes. Apesar de existirem normas nacionais e convenções internacionais, direta ou indiretamente, para garantir a segurança quanto ao ambiente de trabalho nas plataformas, elas não são efetivamente aplicadas pelas empresas offshores, o que se torna também um fator passível de comprometer a saúde do trabalhador e necessitar de normatização efetiva.
The purpose of this thesis is to study the legal protection of the health of offshore workers through the interdisciplinary analysis of Annex II of Regulatory Norm 30; International Conventions of the International Labor Organization and the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 18001: 2007. The study addresses the types of platforms, how to structure the offshore work in the Campos Basin (RJ); the main accidents in the past and how are currently working conditions and safety platforms and the physical, emotional and professional problems of the workers of the platforms. The thesis also presents the performance of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels in the prevention of accidents. Although there are national norms and international conventions, either directly or indirectly, to ensure safety in the work environment on the platforms, they are not effectively enforced by offshore companies, which is also a factor that could compromise workers' health and necessitate of effective standardization.

La « tertiarisation » de l’économie et le développement des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication contribuent à l’évolution des relations de travail. Plusieurs mécanismes créés par la pratique professionnelle et entérinés par la loi (conventions de forfait, télétravail, portage salarial) permettent d’établir un rapport de travail qui prend quelque distance avec le lien classique de subordination juridique, clef du salariat. Dans le même temps, est constaté un essor du travail indépendant auquel concourent des plateformes numériques. Paradoxalement, l’accroissement de l’autonomie du salarié s’accompagne d’une diminution de celle du travailleur indépendant. Le rapprochement entre ces deux modes d’organisation du travail impose de réduire la distance qui sépare les normes qui les gouvernent. Ainsi, la réduction de la sphère d’autorité de l’employeur doit aller de pair avec un allègement de ses obligations. Parallèlement, le bénéfice de certaines mesures à caractère protecteur jusqu’alors réservées aux salariés doit être étendu aux travailleurs indépendants compte tenu des évolutions que connaît leur situation. Le tout est porteur d’une évolution du droit des relations de travail qui pourrait finir par avoir l’allure d’une révolution
The economy’s “tertiarisation” and the development of new information and communication technologies are part of the evolution of the working relationships. Several schemes issued by professional practice and endorsed by the law (fixed annual working time, home office, “umbrella companies”) make it possible to set up a new working relationship that differs from the traditional link of legal subordination, key of the “salariat”. At the same time, there is an expansion of self-employment for which digital platforms are competing. Paradoxically, the expansion of the employee’s autonomy comes with a decline of the autonomy of the self-employed. The convergence between these two schemes of working organization imposes to narrow the gap between the rules governing them. Thus, the decrease of the employer’s sphere of authority must be linked with a lightering of its obligations. At the same time, the benefit of certain protective measures which was reserved to employees should be extended to the self-employed since their situation has evolved. As a whole, it leads to an evolution of the labor relationships which could finally look like a revolution

Work at height is a common operating pattern of engineering. To enable people work at height, a temporary construction, named Scaffolds, is usually built to afford workers and materials. In recent years, the foreign countries had developed the “aerial working platform” to replace the scaffolds which are time-wasting and risky. However, the corresponding laws of aerial working platform are not completed in our country. Besides, the specifications of the construction are not available either. Therefore, it is not secure to use the equipment under lacking of the complete management for safety. In this thesis, the strategies of choosing aerial working platform in different situations are proposed. The actively self-safety management is also introduced to prevent the vocational accident. After all, a rule of safety management for using the aerial working platform is established to be followed. In this research, the specifications of the manufactured Aerial working platforms are firstly evaluated to fit the operating mode. Secondly, the laws and standards of the advanced countries are compared with the domestic rules. In Japan, there are completed laws and detail specifications and prescript of the occupational safety and health facilities for Aerial working platform. The aerial working platform manufacturer are demanded to obey the domestic standards in America and to provide detail operating directions in user’s menu, According to the construction of the aerial working platform, the main concerns of purchase are listed. In order to finish job quickly, the boom-supported elevating work platform is suggested. The safety of operating the platform could never be ignored. The operating procedures and manipulating standards, which are specified by the laws, are provided in the certain platform’s menu and discussed in a specified chapter. For the other types of platform, not only the user’s menu from manufacturer should be obeyed, but also the experience of the master should be learned. Taking the special conditions into account, the accident could be avoided by preventing improper operation. With more serious consideration, the conclusions of this research are made to be followed by the enterprises and to be adopted by the managers. Though there are several different operating mode of work at height, the main idea of this paper is to proper choose a flexible, high performance aerial working platform such that ease and safe can be both achieved. Therefore, the user’s confidence could be established through the professional safety management facilities. With serious standards, the space for wildcatter would no more exist.

Viral marketing is a popular issue in recent business world, we understand the motivation, attitude and behavior of those net-friends share their opinions of products or services online. However, we rarely discuss what make these opinions go on viral, that is this research concerned about. Reviewing the literatures of eWOM and brand attitude, the past research focused on viral emailing. However, these days viral marketing is spread by social media such as Youtbe. Thus, this study proposes that attributes of Youtube can affect consumers’ behavior. This study conducted an experimental design and results are video total views and product logo replacement can effect consumers’ behavior. Based on the total views, consumer will decide whether they share this video online. Product logo replacement will effect consumer to have a different attitude toward the brand. However, this study had not discovered other attributes of Youtube, such as the comments or the ratings of the video, and we left them behind for future research to discover its effects on consumers eWOM intention and their brand attitude.

Abstract The primary objective of this study is to design a hydraulic lifting platform or a hydraulic platform that can be raised that complies with domestic regulations in the “Safety and Health Regulations for Construction” and the “Regulations for Labor Safety and Health.” A survey relating to the perceived risk and satisfaction is conducted that addresses the new and old work platforms. The research method uses two modules, the old platform TYPE-A and the new “lifting hydraulic platform” TYPE-B, as tools in the study. The two types of work platforms are given to maintenance personnel in two companies conducting container repair for testing and use. The questionnaire and scale designed in this research was completed by 100 maintenance personnel after they used both types of work platform. The official questionnaire scale in this study has good reliability and validity (Cronbach’s α > 0.5). The study analysis results separately show that various lifestyle habits such as smoking and consuming alcohol or tea demonstrate higher statistically significant variances for perceived operational risk using the TYPE-B platform than that for the TYPE-A platform (p < .05). Maintenance personnel in various age groups show no statistically significant differences in the perceived operational risks for using TYPE-A or TYPE-B platforms. In addition, surveys on the overall satisfaction levels regarding the base, stairs, operational range, and railing show that satisfaction levels for TYPE-B platforms are significantly higher than those for TYPE-A (p < .05). This implies that the design of the “lifting hydraulic device” in the new TYPE-B work platform can be implemented to reduce the risk of falling.

Dementia is a neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide and is challenging to diagnose as symptoms may only perceivable decades later. The disease leads to a gradual loss of memory, learning, orientation, language, and comprehension skills, which compromises activities of daily living. Health-related costs caused by dementia will continue to increase over the next few years; between the years 2005 and 2009, an increase of 34% (from $315 to $422 billion worldwide) was observed in treating dementia-related issues. Pharmaceutical approaches have been developed to treat dementia symptoms; unfortunately, the risk of side effects is high. For this reason, nonpharmaceutical methods such as music and reminiscence therapies have gained acceptance as patients with dementia positively respond to such approaches even at later stages of the disease. Nevertheless, further research is needed to understand how music and reminiscence therapy should be used and to quantify their impact on individuals with dementia. The development of serious games has gained attention as an alternative approach to stimulate patients. However, the clinical impact that serious games have on individuals with dementia is still unclear. In this dissertation, we contribute with new knowledge regarding the usage of music and reminiscence approaches in people with dementia through a theoretical model. Based on Baddeley’s working memory model, our model aims to explain how the therapeutic properties of music and reminiscence can have a beneficial effect. To test our model, we developed a novel interactive platform called Musiquence, in which healthcare professionals can create music and reminiscence based cognitive activities to stimulate people with dementia. In this dissertation, we present the results from several studies about the usage and effects that music and reminiscence have on such a population. We performed two studies using Musiquence to study the feasibility of a novel learning method based on musical feedback to aid people with dementia during task performance in virtual reality settings. Results show that participants relied more on music-based feedback during the task performance of virtual reality activities than in other forms of feedback. Also, data suggest that the music-based feedback system can improve task performance, compensating for some dementia-related deficits. We also used Musiquence in a longitudinal one-month-long pilot study to assess its efficacy when used for a cognitive stimulation intervention in dementia patients. The results of the study are promising. The 3 participants showed improvements in terms of general cognition, quality of life, mood, and verbal fluency.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Direito apresentada à Faculdade de Direito
A 4ª Revolução Industrial ou Indústria 4.0 é caracterizada por novos desafios advindos da era digital, notadamente diante da utilização inovadora de plataformas digitais como meio de negócio. Em paralelo aos grandes avanços tecnológicos, nascem diferentes formas de organização do trabalho caracterizadas por tecnologias disruptivas, que vêm trazendo importantes reflexões em todo o mundo, especialmente pelo fato de não se enquadrarem aos tradicionais modelos jurídicos até então conhecidos. A dissertação buscará exatamente entender essa tendência de utilização de plataformas digitais como meio de aproximação das pessoas, configurada como economia compartilhada, e descrever suas repercussões jurídicas e sociais que têm movimentado relevantes discussões no âmbito acadêmico e nos tribunais em razão de seu distanciamento da tradicional relação capital-trabalho. Para isso, inicialmente se fará uma breve exposição dos modelos econômicos da sociedade moderna que dominaram o século XX até se alcançar a pós-moderna do século XXI, baseada na informação e na informática (info-info). Em seguida, serão analisadas as relações de trabalho que têm se expandido nos últimos anos, adentrando em conceitos como uberização, gig job, crowdwork, work-on-demand e outros, além dos padrões de subordinação jurídica para possível enquadramento legal, tais como subordinação objetiva, parassubordinação, subordinação estrutural, subordinação integrativa, subordinação algorítmica e subordinação potencial. O estudo se aprofundará nas especificidades de cada uma dessas obscuras relações jurídicas; o fenômeno da uberização em vários países; os desafios tecnológicos; as alternativas de proteção dos direitos laborais e humanos; os desafios de enquadramento e representação coletiva.O trabalho lançará mão de entendimentos doutrinários, de resultados de decisões judiciais e legislações referentes ao tema.Por se tratar de reflexão inovadora, não se pretende dar respostas conclusivas, mas um olhar prospectivo e ponderado entre o inevitável desenvolvimento da tecnologia da informação digital e suas repercussões nas relações de trabalho do mundo globalizado.
The 4th Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 is characterized by new challenges arising from digital age, nodded to the innovative use of digital platforms as a means of business. In parallel to the great technological advances, different forms of job organizations emerge characterized by disruptive technologies, which have brought important reflections around the world, especially because they do not fit the traditional legal models that have been known.The dissertation will seek to understand exactly this trend of using digital platforms as a means of bringing people closer, configured as a shared economy, and describe its legal and social repercussions that have moved relevant discussions in the academic community and in the courts due to its distancing from the traditional capital-work relationship.For this, initially, a brief display of the economic models of modern society that dominated the 20th century will be made until the postmodern period of the 21st century, based on information and information (info-info) is reached.Then, the labor relationships that have expanded in recent years will be analyzed, entering into concepts such as uberization, gig job, crowdwork, work-on-demand and others, in addition to the standards of legal subordination for possible legal framework, such as objective subordination, parasubordination, structural subordination, integrative subordination, algorithmic subordination and potential subordination.The study will delve into the specificities of each of these obscure legal relationships; the phenomenon of uberization in several countries; technological challenges; alternatives for the protection of labour and human rights; the challenges of framing and collective representation.The work will use doctrinal understandings, results of judicial decisions and legislation on the subject.Because it is an innovative reflection, it is not intended to give conclusive answers, but a prospective and thoughtful look between the inevitable development of digital information technology and its repercussions on the working relationships of the globalized world.
