No novo contexto, os espaços familiares de moradia e convivência tiveram de ser adaptados para atividades remotas on-line. Inicialmente positiva, essa modalidade foi impactada pelo ambiente inadequado e pela ergonomia, afetando a saúde física e mental dos indivíduos, causando ansiedade, insegurança quanto aos objetivos e às metas a serem alcançados e, consequentemente, diminuindo a satisfação inicial e apresentando oscilações de produtividade. Com base em pesquisa realizada junto aos usuários de home office, este artigo traz a análise da percepção desses indivíduos sobre a produtividade obtida nos espaços adaptados e demonstra que a visão sobre a constituição desse local de trabalho não corresponde ao que a literatura preconiza como agradável e produtivo. Como resultado da pesquisa, o artigo apresenta uma forma de melhorar e aumentar a produtividade e a saúde ...

In Brazil, Technological Parks and Incubators, in turn, have not devoted themselves with real interest in this emerging sector; they are involved primarily with technologies for areas such as biotechnology, environment, embedded electronics, alternative energy, oil, software and, mainly, IT (ICT). This article identifies how the economy and creative industry have changed the entrepreneurial profile in the national and global environment and how these trends are applicable in relation to the environment of the Parks and Incubators for the inclusion of creativity in the current Brazilian scenario. Shows that the creative production promotes skills that constitute the knowledge of Design, Architecture, Cultural Heritage, Media, Culture and Arts, acting democratically, adding knowledge, diversity and differentiation, overcoming social and regional barriers and making social inclusion. It shows that a market segment that involved about US $ 624 billion in 2011, more than doubling between 2002 and 2011, maintains a growth trajectory has only 2% of the featured activities of the Parks aimed at its development and promotion.

Since the conception of the first games, through computer technology and military knowledge, games have become an entertainment, translated and molded as interactive graphic images. The initial aim, which was to create a kind of distraction, outgrew itself and made possible to simulate and provide users with the psychological sense of control and power over fear, decisions and over the imminent danger of new challenges (real or imagined), all at same time. From the pioneer arcade to the modern consoles and multiple platforms seen today, the games evolved to meet users' expectations in search of simulation, interaction and immersion experiences. In this trajectory, developers, programmers and designers applied all the technological advances possible in attempt to achieve complete man-machine interaction. This article seeks to identify if the games in the current stage, loaded with hyper-realism, in relation with their 'cartoonized' counterpart, aimed at a new generation of users eager for disruptive technologies and for interactions that assure the sensation of influence and control over fear.

For this reason, the parameters and approaches between its different aspects vary such as physiological, historical, theoretical, technical, human-physical and others. One of the authors that have excelled in Brazil, in the study of these approaches was Joaquim Redig, which in the late 70’s searched to elucidate and conceptualize the principles of the Industrial Design, hereafter Design. In its proposal, published by ESDI in 1977, Redig defined six principles such as thematically axes for the understanding of Design. This article is based on the analysis of one of those proposed axes: the concept of “Anthropology”. Through bibliographic and bibliometric review, the study aims to measure and draw a parallel comparison of the trajectory of this approach, comparing the author’s vision in the late 70’s with the actual vision, in regard to its use as an applicable pri...
