Ergonomics and design: traffic sign and street name sign

This work proposes a design methodology using ergonomics and anthropometry concepts applied to traffic sign and street name sign projects. Initially, a literature revision on cognitive ergonomics and anthropometry is performed. Several authors and their design methodologies are analyzed and the aspects to be considered in projects of traffic and street name signs are selected and other specific aspects are proposed for the design methodology. A case study of the signs of "Street of Antiques" in Porto Alegre city is presented. To do that, interviews with the population are made to evaluate the current situation of signs. After that, a new sign proposal with virtual prototyping is done using the developed methodology. The results obtained with new interviews about the proposal show the user satisfaction and the importance of cognitive ergonomics to development of this type of urban furniture.

Portuguese Scientists’ Migration: a study on the 2008 crisis aftermath

In the economic and social aftermath of the 2008 crisis there has been an important and growing new wave of highly qualified Portuguese emigration comprising scientists. No or very few public policies have been designed to reverse this phenomenon, risking the consequences of brain drain. International literature argues that professional reasons are central to scientists’ decision to migrate, even after the 2008 crisis. Spending some time in a foreign country to study, research, or teach, is perceived as a common step in an individual academic trajectory and an advantage for a successful professional career in academia. It is also encouraged by European Union policies. Twelve individual portraits of Portuguese scientists living in central Europe reveal how important other factors are to the migration decision‐making process. These factors include the economic crisis, student mobility programmes, and the current Portuguese scientific system revision.     

Experimental Cournot oligopoly and inequity aversion

This paper explores the role of inequity aversion as an explanation for observed behavior in experimental Cournot oligopolies. We show that inequity aversion can change the nature of the strategic interaction: quantities are strategic substitutes for sufficiently asymmetric output levels but strategic complements otherwise. We find that inequity aversion can explain why: (i) some experiments result in higher than Cournot–Nash production levels while others result in lower, (ii) collusion often occurs with only two players whereas with three or more players market outcomes are very close to Cournot–Nash, and (iii) players often achieve equal profits in asymmetric Cournot oligopoly.

从“亲亲相隐”到“亲亲不隐”

“亲亲相隐”是我国古代的一项法律制度,它肯定了亲属之间相互隐匿罪行的正当性,符合中国古代礼法并用的律法特点。然而在现代法治社会,人们越来越重视对权利的维护,法律成为维权最重要的依据。法律面前人人平等是我国现代司法制度的基本要求,如果将“亲亲相隐”法制化,则意味着,在现代法律中血缘亲情将成为能够影响定罪量刑的关键因素。如此一来,司法何以体现公正,如何保证法律面前人人平等？所以,将“亲亲相隐”法制化的观念是不可取的。     

浅析马基雅维里史学中的现实主义

对于马基雅维里,评论家们往往忽视了其复杂性.在马基雅维里的思想中,道德和政治存在着明显的差异,我们称之为"道德-政治"的二元对立.我们可以发现这种二元对立是基于现实主义的考虑.马基雅维里既如同前期人文主义者,在<君主论>中大谈君主的美德;但是同时又宣称君主可以为了目的而不择手段,这正是他与前期人文主义者的最大相异之处.马基雅维里也因此陷入了"道德-政治"的二元对立之中.马基雅维里的这种二元对立,也给予了我们一种多元的启示.     

并非反英雄、反高潮——论张爱玲小说人物的英雄气质

从傅雷与张爱玲1944年形成对峙的文章的主要观点入手,阐明张爱玲小说中人物浓郁的英雄气质。张爱玲塑造的主要人物具有鲜明的共性:敏锐冷静的洞察力、细致精微的感觉和强烈的自省精神,不与周围环境随波逐流,认真努力想在物质或精神上抓住一点可靠的东西而最终失败。可以看出张爱玲对人生的思考和她的结论。
