▼ In order to ensure long-term adoption and use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies, they must be designed to support children to participate within everyday activities and routines that are prioritized by families. Nine parents of children with cerebral palsy who used AAC technologies participated in semi-structured interviews to provide their perspectives of how AAC technologies were integrated into the functional contexts of everyday life. Five major themes emerged from the discussions: (a) integrating AAC into life, (b) AAC technologies, (c) child needs and skills, (d) parent responsibilities and priorities, and (e) AAC process and decision-making. Children were able to use AAC technologies within a variety of everyday contexts with various partners; however, challenges included access to AAC within physical and outdoor activities and partners who lacked knowledge regarding operational competencies and effective interaction strategies. In order to integrate AAC technologies into life, parents prioritized technology features including ease of programming, improved physical design (e.g., lighter, wearable, easy to mount, durable), features to enhance efficiency and ease of access (e.g., brain-computer interface, sentence prediction), and availably of multiple functions and features (e.g., facial recognition software, augmented reality, projection capabilities, capability to control wheelchair). AAC manufacturers and mainstream technology developers should work to ensure that technologies are responsive to the supports, limitations, and ideal features identified by parents. Future research should seek input from a larger group of stakeholders and use longitudinal methods to examine perceptions of AAC technologies over time.

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina Dentária

A cada ano que passa temos cada vez mais fabricantes de material ortodôntico a lançarem produtos relacionados com o bracket auto-ligável. Isto deve-se especialmente ao marketing realizado por diversas entidades, desde as próprias empresas que manufaturam os produtos em questão até aos Médicos Dentistas. Vários fabricantes deste tipo de aparelhos ortodônticos ou brackets afirmam que conseguem fazer com que o tratamento seja 50% mais rápido, o nível de dor e desconforto sentido pelo paciente seja menor, é necessária menor manutenção, cerca de 80% dos tratamentos não implica a extração de dentes, a dimensão dos brackets é menor e podem ser convencionados a partir de materiais que os façam imperfectíveis. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar, com recurso a uma revisão bibliográfica, se existem realmente diferenças em vários parâmetros que façam com que uso de brackets auto-ligáveis seja vantajoso em comparação com os convencionais. Para a elaboração deste trabalho foram efetuadas pesquisas bibliográficas nas bases de dados: Pubmed, B-on, ScienceDirect e Google Academic. Os artigos incluídos nas pesquisas têm os seguintes idiomas: Inglês, Espanhol e Português. Trabalhar com um só modelo de bracket não é de forma alguma vantajoso, quer este seja auto-ligável ou convencional. O Médico Dentista deve ter ao seu dispor várias opções para que consiga efetuar o melhor tratamento possível tendo em conta o caso que lhe é presente. With each passing year we have more and more orthodontic equipment manufacturers to launch products with self-ligating bracket. This is due especially to marketing undertaken by various entities, from the companies themselves who manufacture the products in question to the Dentists. Many of the ads say that this type of braces or brackets, compared with the conventional methods, can make the treatment to be 50% faster, the level of pain and discomfort experienced by the patient is smaller, less maintenance is needed, about 80% of the cases does not involve the extraction of teeth and are considered more aesthetic for being transparent. In this direction, the purpose of this work is to verify, using a literature review, if there really is a difference in several parameters that make the use of self-bondable brackets advantageous compared to conventional. For the elaboration of this work it was conducted a literature search in databases like: Pubmed, B-on, ScienceDirect e Google Academic. The articles included in the research have the following languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese. Working with a single type of bracket it’s in no way advantageous, whether it’s conventional or self-bonding. The Dentist should have at their disposal several options so you can make the best possible treatment taking into account the case that it is present.

▼ Ease, comfort and efficiency are assumed desirables; they form the established norm of unquestioned values in commercial product design. The norm shapes our everyday. Those daily things considered mundane and commonplace, form how we go about our daily doings. How we actually live our lives. Design needs to be there to defend human interest; to approach the user differently than a passive consumer, to create space for human qualities in contemporary everyday life. I have been exploring the potential of designing for effort, and argue for its value by giving examples. I have developed a series of three products under the shared name Friction Intended. The proposals evoke effort of different kinds, each creating space for other alternative values. Object A is a light concept working with reflections. Reflecting from one surface to another the light can be followed and its behavior studied. The reflective elements are tools for exploration and active learning; to actively perceive the daily phenomenon of light. Object B is a backpack to be assembled from a large sheet of textile and a set of straps. Over time, the usage of the bag can become a personal ritual. Wearing the bag can also be a statement; how will people react when the large cloth is dramatically folded open in a public environment? Object C is a cup with rounded base. The cup moves; never fully finding its balance it sways back and forth ever differently depending on the amount of liquid inside and the qualities of the gestures it has been handled with. The attention is drawn to the moment by giving careful attention to a simple daily ritual. Designing for effort in everyday products creates space to design for an engaging and stimulating environment. Once deciding simple things are worth more time, strain and patience there is the opportunity to enrich those activities. Effort has the potential to create space for the development of contemporary rituals, active engagement and everyday curiosity. The design space of the potential of effort is a rich and varied. The examples given by the Friction Intended series, are representatives for a field where much more potential still lays. This is a call, especially on the design field, to question the given, to challenge the norm and to reflect on its impact.

▼ A computationally efficient load distribution model is proposed for both face-milled and face-hobbed hypoid gears produced by Formate and generate processes. Tooth surfaces are defined directly from the cutter parameters and machine settings. A novel methodology based on the ease-off topography is used to determine the unloaded contact patterns. The proposed ease-off methodology finds the instantaneous contact curves through a surface of roll angles, allowing an accurate unloaded tooth contact analysis in a robust and accurate manner. Rayleigh-Ritz based shell models of teeth of the gear and pinion are developed to define the tooth compliances due to bending and shear effects efficiently in a semi-analytical manner. Base rotation and contact deformation effects are also included in the compliance formulations. With this, loaded contact patterns and transmission error of both face-milled and face-hobbed spiral bevel and hypoid gears are computed by enforcing the compatibility and equilibrium conditions of the gear mesh. The proposed model requires significantly less computational effort than finite elements (FE) based models, making its use possible for extensive parameter sensitivity and design optimization studies. Comparisons to the predictions of a FE hypoid gear contact model are also provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the model under various load and misalignment conditions. The proposed ease-off formulation is generalized next to include various types of tooth surface deviations in the tooth contact analysis. These deviations are grouped in two categories. The proposed ease-off based method is shown to be capable of modeling both global deviations due to common manufacturing errors and heat treat distortions and local deviations due to surface wear.The proposed loaded contact model is combined at the end with a friction model based on a mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication model to predict the load dependent (mechanical) power losses and efficiency of the hypoid gear pairs. The velocity, radius of curvature and load information predicted by the contact model is input to the friction model to determine the distribution of the friction coefficient along the contact surfaces. At the end, the variations of predicted mechanical efficiency with geometry, surface and lubricant parameters are quantified. Advisors/Committee Members: Kahraman, Ahmet (Advisor).
