- Análise da imagem em manuais escolaresPublication . Morais, JorgeConsiste num estudo descritivo das imagens que se encontram numa amostra representativa dos manuais escolares de Ciências da Natureza do 2º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, adoptados pelas escolas portuguesas no biénio de 2003/2004, tendo sido empregue uma metodologia de análise de conteúdo e de classificação taxionómica que privilegiou uma linha metodológica de investigação de tipo qualitativa. Este estudo comportou a elaboração de uma grelha específica de análise com recurso a princípios e posturas teóricas reconhecidas ou experimentadas no domínio da análise de imagem e da linguagem verbo-icónica em suporte fixo. Está dividida em duas partes: Na primeira parte visou-se confirmar as hipóteses que apontavam para a existência de relações entre as variáveis de análise construídas e as variáveis relativas a grupos de adopção de manuais, tipos de editoras dos manuais escolares e os livros propriamente. Na segunda parte da investigação, o enfoque recaiu no sujeito receptor das mensagens visuais e verbo-icónicas, os alunos, recaindo a fundamentação em argumentos de índole teórica e prática que remetem para as características relacionadas com o desenvolvimento cognitivo e perceptivo do público-alvo a quem esses livros se dirigem. Procurou-se determinar a importância do receptor e das suas opiniões na cadeia de comunicação despoletada com e a partir das imagens no manual escolar. Atendeu-se à distinção de variáveis meio (urbano/rural), proveniência, sexo e idade. Resumindo ainda mais, procurou-se saber que tipo de imagens são utilizadas nesses manuais, sua importância para o maior ou menor grau de adopção por parte das escolas e como é que o público-alvo a que elas se destinam valoriza essas mesmas imagens.
- Comparative analysis of physical fitness and body composition in first-year bachelor sports sciencesPublication . Morais, J.E.; Larrière, Onésie; Bragada, José A.; Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Magalhães, Pedro; Schnegg, Antoine; Houndekon, Martial; Garnier, Yoann M.; Mourot, LaurentPhysical fitness and body composition are foundational to the training and academic success of sports sciences students. However, baseline physical profiles may vary across institutions and countries, reflecting differences in cultural, educational, and physical activity environments. This study aimed to compare physical fitness levels and anthropometric characteristics of first-year sports sciences students from three European institutions in France and Portugal. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 172 first-year university students (121 males, 51 females) enrolled in sports sciences programs at one French (UMLP) and two Portuguese institutions (IPB and IPG). Participants completed a standardized physical fitness test battery assessing aerobic capacity (estimated VO₂max), upperand lower-body strength (handgrip, isometric mid-thigh pull), explosive power (standing long jump), flexibility (sitand-reach), and balance (standing stork test). Anthropometric measures included body mass, fat mass, and lean mass. Group and gender differences were analyzed using ANOVA and effect sizes.
- Comparative analysis of physical fitness and body composition in first-year bachelor sports sciences students from France and PortugalPublication . Morais, J.E.; Larrière, Onésie; Bragada, José A.; Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Magalhães, Pedro; Schnegg, Antoine; Houndekon, Martial; Garnier, Yoann M.; Mourot, LaurentPhysical fitness and body composition are foundational to the training and academic success of sports sciences students. However, baseline physical profiles may vary across institutions and countries, reflecting differences in cultural, educational, and physical activity environments. This study aimed to compare physical fitness levels and anthropometric characteristics of first-year sports sciences students from three European institutions in France and Portugal. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 172 first-year university students (121 males, 51 females) enrolled in sports sciences programs at one French (UMLP) and two Portuguese institutions (IPB and IPG). Participants completed a standardized physical fitness test battery assessing aerobic capacity (estimated VO(2)max), upper- and lower-body strength (handgrip, isometric mid-thigh pull), explosive power (standing long jump), flexibility (sit-and-reach), and balance (standing stork test). Anthropometric measures included body mass, fat mass, and lean mass. Group and gender differences were analyzed using ANOVA and effect sizes. Students from UMLP displayed significantly higher performance in estimated VO(2)max (IPB vs UMLP d = 1.08; IPG vs UMLP d = 0.81), strength (isometric mid-thigh pull [IPB vs UMLP d = 0.65; IPG vs UMLP d = 0.73]), flexibility (IPB vs UMLP d = 0.61; IPG vs UMLP d = 0.69), balance (IPG vs UMLP d = 0.91), and body composition (higher lean mass [IPB vs UMLP d = 0.19; IPG vs UMLP d = 0.28], lower fat mass [IPB vs UMLP d = 0.22; IPG vs UMLP d = 0.31]) compared to their Portuguese peers. IPG students outperformed the other groups in the standing long jump test (IPB vs IPG d = 0.51; IPG vs UMLP d = 1.38). Males consistently outperformed females across all fitness domains except flexibility. Significant group-by-gender interactions were observed for flexibility and strength measures. This study highlights substantial differences in physical fitness and body composition among first-year sports sciences students across institutions in France and Portugal. These findings underline the importance of assessing students' physical readiness at university entry and suggest that institutional and cultural factors may influence physical health trajectories. Targeted interventions may be warranted to ensure baseline fitness equity and promote academic and athletic success.
- A imagem, o texto e as aldeiasPublication . Morais, JorgeEugéne Smith, norte-americano, fotógrafo, Jorge Dias, português, antropólogo, escritor, consumaram, quase ao mesmo tempo, um processo de análise de duas comunidades rurais distintas, que viriam a tornar-se famosas de cada um dos lados da fronteira terrestre que nos é mais próxima:. A presente comunicação tem por objectivo, além de servir de evocação e efeméride, efectuar uma comparação entre as duas formas de comunicação que deram a conhecer, à sua maneira, as aldeias: a linguagem icónica e a linguagem verbal. Pretende-se introduzir alguns dados de reflexão e debate face à força da imagem na modernidade, que, em vários casos, só por si, consegue suplantar outras formas de comunicação estabelecidas e aparentemente melhor estruturadas. Problematizar, talvez, se os efeitos lobrigados na reportagem de Eugéne Smith seriam hoje igualmente eficazes. Nesta comunicação serão ainda revelados alguns dados históricos e recolhidos actualmente no terreno, angariados para reforçar os propósitos enunciados, e também o perfil de militância humana, social e política dos seus autores.
- Kinematic and neuromuscular responses to different visual focus conditions in stand-up paddleboardingPublication . Freitas, João; Conceição, Ana; Štastný, Jan; Morais, J.E.; Marques, Diogo L.; Louro, Hugo; Marinho, D.A.; Neiva, Henrique P.This study analyzed the kinematics and muscle activity during the stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) under different visual focus points in three conditions: i) eyes on the board nose, ii) looking at the turn buoy, and iii) free choice. Methods: Fourteen male paddleboarders (24.2 ± 7.1 years) performed three trials covering 65 m, and the electromyographic (EMG) activation patterns and kinematic parameters in four cycle strokes for the left and right sides were analyzed. Surface EMG of the upper trapezius, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius medialis were recorded. The data were processed according to the percentage of maximum voluntary contraction (%MVC). Speed, stroke frequency (SF), stroke length, and stroke index (SI) were analyzed. Results: The speed, SF, and SI (p < 0.01, η2 ≥ 0.42) showed significant variance between conditions, with the free condition achieving the highest speed (1.20 ± 0.21 m/s), SF (0.65 ± 0.13 Hz) and SI (2.25 ± 0.67 m2 /s). This condition showed greater neuromuscular activity, particularly in the triceps brachii during both the left (42.25 ± 18.76 %MVC) and right recoveries (32.93 ± 16.06 %MVC). During the pull phase, the free choice presented higher biceps brachii activity (8.51 ± 2.80 %MVC) compared to the eyes on the board nose (6.22 ± 2.41 %MVC; p < 0.01), while showing lower activity in the triceps brachii (10.02 ± 4.50 %MVC vs. 16.52 ± 8.45 %MVC; p < 0.01) and tibialis anterior (12.24 ± 7.70 %MVC vs. 17.09 ± 7.73 %MVC; p < 0.01) compared to looking at the turn buoy. Conclusion: These results suggest that a free visual focus allows paddleboarders to enhance their kinematics and muscle activation, highlighting the significance of visual focus strategies in improving both competitive and recreational SUP performance.
- Manuais escolares, análise de imagens na perspectiva da semiótica socialPublication . Morais, JorgeO presente trabalho traduz resultados e reflexões da análise efectuada a uma amostra de 525 imagens extraídas de 7 manuais escolares da disciplina de Ciências da Natureza do 6º ano de escolaridade do Ensino Básico, utilizando uma metodologia de análise de imagens segundo a perspectiva de Kress & Leeuwen (1996), gramática do “design” visual, inserida no contexto da semiótica social, devotada esta a extrair significados que procuram expandir a mera consideração formal e morfológica das imagens e que podem ser pertinentes equacionar sob o ponto de vista da didáctica e tecnologia educativa. Procura-se estabelecer bases para compreender se existe correlação entre o maior ou menor sucesso de vendas das editoras de manuais escolares consideradas e determinadas características que essas mesmas imagens possuam. Os resultados da análise esclarecem que as editoras que mais vendem obtém, de um modo geral, melhores pontuações nas variáveis das imagens consideradas, face aos manuais menos vendidos. This study reflects results and reflections from the analysis of a sample of 525 images taken from seven textbooks in the discipline of Natural Sciences in the 6th year of basic school, using a method of image analysis from the perspective of Kress & Leeuwen (1996) , Grammar of " visual design " into the context of social semiótica, devoted to this extract meanings that seek to expand the mere consideration of formal and morphological images that may be relevant to equate the point of view of teaching and educational technology. An attempt to establish the basis to understand the correlation between the more or less successful sales of publishers of textbooks and considered certain characteristics that have these same images. The analysis results clarify that publishers who sell more get, in general, high scores on the variables of the images considered, compared with less manual sold.
- Mountains of artPublication . Maia, Nuno; Barroso, Bárbara; Morais, Jorge; Alves, Vasco; Prazeres, Simone dos; Meireles, António; Costa, Jacinta Casimiro daIn the context of the link between the IPB - Mountain Arts Laboratory - Graça Morais (LAM-GM) and the Graça Morais Center for Contemporary Art (CACGM), it has been developed a co-creation process that simultaneously promotes a creative, critical and innovative formation of the students involved, develops a shared process between the institutions and seeks to solve common challenges, such as an effective connection between IPB and CACGM, fostering new interactions with the community. The co-creation process is quite engaging and demanding, as comprehends four courses of four different degrees, involving an undergraduate degree and three bachelor degrees, in a total of 185 students. Within the scope of the curricular units, technical and artistic skills are developed, creating new artistic outcomes, developed mainly from and with drawings and paintings of Graça Morais, the painter herself, the building that encompasses her exhibitions and the works of other artists that have being exhibiting their work at CACGM. This partner institution is a committed team member, in its renown sphere of competences, providing specific knowledge, experience and expertise, fostering four different artistic approaches: Documentary - In a project-based learning environment and interconnected with the Graça Morais Center for Contemporary Art, a group of students enrolled in the Documentary course of the 3rd year of the degree in Communication and Journalism, divided by small teams, is producing short films. documentaries, about the life, work or themes of Graça Morais. The expected average duration of each short is 10 minutes. Drawing - Students from the degree of Art & Design and the undergraduate degree of Illustration and Graphic Art are developing an individual artist book created from the connection and inspiration students developed with Graça Morais, her work, and Graça Morais Center for Contemporary Art. Music - A co-creation experiment is being carried out in which the artistic objects contained in the exhibition serve as a basic source for developing an artistic-pedagogical process. The goal is to give sound life to pre-established sense units through the application and experimentation and techniques of musical production analysis. Photography - Based on the work of painter Graça Morais, the artist herself and texts that address her, the students are developing their own photographic interpretations. In the In2CoP Conference we wish to share the process this co-creation developed, to show the artistic outcomes, to connect effectively our student’s formation and outcomes with the community and to contribute to a reflection on creative processes of co-creation.

- Problemas de identidade e comunicação nos manuais escolares da actualidadePublication . Morais, JorgeNeste estudo e reflexões decorrentes do doutoramento efectuado pelo autor no biénio de 2003/2004 defendido na UTAD em Novembro de 2008, é analisada a forma de comunicação verbo-icónica numa amostra representativa dos manuais escolares de Ciências da Natureza do 6º ano de escolaridade, adoptados pelas escolas públicas e privadas do país e que foram adoptados durante vários anos. Visa-se denunciar alguns problemas de concretização que perturbam a identificação da mensagem didáctica e podem influenciar a própria percepção do eu (aluno) e do envolvimento com o qual os conteúdos se relacionam: Problemas de identidade face à caracterização de género e de raça, de contexto geográfico e local; problemas de ambiguidade formal e legibilidade; problemas de veiculação errónea ou desfocada de conteúdos; problemas na articulação verbo-icónica.
