This article discusses some issues related to the preservative conservation of objects fromcategories of painting on canvas, textiles and costumes focusing on the proper care inhandling, packing and transport of them. More than a compilation of good practices, thisarticle aims to enhance awareness and warn all those who deal with these tasks and therepercussions that may arise when they are not properly executed.

The Misericórdia of Barcelos is presently installed in the former convent of S. Francisco,to where it moved in 1836, after the dissolution of the religious orders held two yearsbefore. The former headquarters of the brotherhood were ceded to the Municipality andits church would be included in the New City Hall, begun in 1849. A recent architecturalintervention revealed the old church, and access to unpublished documentation, depositedin the archives of the confraternity, has enabled us to reconstruct some of the majorphases of its construction and execution of original paintings and altarpieces.

In this scientific work attention is paid to the protection of the right of a person to work. It is emphasized that this right is one of the fundamental human rights. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that today the issue of ways to protect the right to work, in the context of the settlement of labor disputes, remains relevant. The judicial method of resolving labor disputes which is currently available in many countries cannot fully provide an adequate level of protection, in particular due to the overcrowding of the judicial system, which leads to excessive length of proceedings. That is why it is proposed to use alternative methods for resolving labor disputes, such as mediation, arbitration, consideration by specially created commissions. The experience and current state of legislative regulation of the procedure for resolving labor disputes in Lithuania and Ukraine is analyzed in order to develop an optimal model for consideration and resolution of labor disputes. This research is carried out within the framework of the Joint Ukrainian-Lithuanian Research Project "Strengthening Alternative Dispute Resolution in Lithuania and Ukraine: Finding the Cross-Border Solution".

The lichens do to their symbiont nature have unic characteristics that confer them a key role as a bioindicators of the environmental contamination. Many investigations have been done using epiphytic lichens as a bioindicators, but only a few of them have used crustose epilithic lichens. The main objective of this work is to show the air quality of Valencia and corroborate the efficacy of the crustose epilithic lichens as a bioindicators of the air pollution. With this objective it has been analyzed the heavy metals inside the lichens growing on the façade of the Santos Juanes church in Valencia situated in the nerve centerof the city.

A reanálise do tema da resolução extrajudicial de conflitos de conflitos de consumo em Portugal justifica-se, no tempo atual, em virtude das alterações introduzidas nos últimos anos nesta sede, em concreto pela Lei n.º 144/2015, de 8 de setembro, que se afirma como sendo a Lei RAL de consumo em Portugal, mas também pela Lei n.º 63/2019, de 16 de agosto, que veio alargar o âmbito da arbitragem necessária aos conflitos de consumo que não excedam a alçada dos tribunais de primeira instância. Analisamos ainda a progressiva digitalização que se tem vivenciado no funcionamento dos centros de arbitragem de conflitos de consumo e das virtualidades ou desvantagens inerentes às ferramentas eletrónicas quando aplicadas à resolução de reclamações de consumidores.

Diversas instituciones públicas y privadas vienen señalando en las últimas décadas las deficiencias que presenta la Administración de Justicia en España y, en consecuencia, se han realizado propuestas de reforma, entre ellas, el establecimiento de sistemas alternativos de resolución de los conflictos (ADR) que, ineludiblemente, surgen entre las personas. Ambos, en realidad, representan dos formas de resolver los conflictos sociales, de hacer justicia, pero en los que la observancia de las garantías jurídicas de los ciudadanos debe de estar reservada al Sistema Judicial, como procedimiento ordinario. Por tanto, las ADR no son mecanismos competidores en el sentido de excluyentes o alternativos, sino complementarios, que abren la posibilidad de que las empresas y los consumidores utilicen vías extrajudiciales para resolver sus conflictos. La mediación en las actividades del consumo presenta en relación al sistema tradicional y ordinario de justicia una serie de elementos que aconsejan su empleo pues pueden colaborar a la mejora de la eficiencia y de la equidad en la gestión de la Justicia en España y, por tanto, al aumento del bienestar de la mayor parte de la población. Nos referimos, sobre todo, al menor coste, menor duración, mayor transparencia y, por tanto, previsibilidad en la resolución de los conflictos y, además, estás ventajas se incrementarán con la incorporación de plataformas digitales a la gestión de estos procedimientos.

Among numerous sculptures of Christ, this one of the Santa Clara-a-Velha monastery is unique due to his hidden mysteries. In that sense, his chronological and stylistic context is discussed, and the study made until now his presented. Being the intervention in a initial stage, and the chemical results not yet available, we describe the complexity denotedby the object: the relationship of it actual conservation state with it hectic path, and the uncertainties about authoring and dating. Several aspects are narrated considered previously as to the working out for the best as possible intervention strategy.

Background: Even though the origin of the concept of shared delusion is not consensual, the term folie a deux was introduced in 1877 by two french researchers – Lasègue and Falret. According to the original concept, a person (inductor), cognitively dominant, develops a delusional idea that progressively imposes to a second person (induced), with whom he keeps a close relationship. The four psychopathologic subtypes known – folie imposée, folie simultanée, folie communiquée and folie induite, were described in the final of the XIX century, but its classification and conceptualization was assigned to the american researcher Gralnick (1942). Aim, materials and methods: It is intended to highlight some clinical aspects of the shared delusion disorder, its epidemiological and psycopathogenic characterization and therapeutical approach. In order to achieve it, the authors presented a clinical case report and respective non systematic literature review. Results: It is a case of shared delusion of the type folie imposée in a pair mother/son. The inductor (son) suffers from bipolar disorder and asperger syndrome and shared with his mother (induced and carer) a persecutory delusion. Conclusions: It is highlighted the importance of a social isolation context and close contact between both members in the genesis of the disease; it is discussed the subject of the cognitive dominance between the inductor and the induced and the implications of the separation of the pair mother/son, as primary therapeutic action.

There are several blurry questions in contemporary Conservation Theory. Remarkable contributions from the past now seem insufficient and a stronger theoretical structure is required. Conservators and restorers rely blindly on concepts taken for granted; such is the example of “original” which is the basis of so many decisions and intervention methodologies. Do we really understand the meaning of “original” and why it is so important to our work? What consequences may derive from the misinterpretation of this concept? This paper proposes an approach to the term “original”, seeking answers in a historic analysis, revisiting a remarkable publication by the British Museum, Fake? The Art of Deception, a catalogue from a 1951 exhibition re-published in 1990. In opposition to “original”, we aim to analyze the relationship Man has had with fakes, forgeries and copies over time and how they can be helpful when defining “original”.

The information stated in this paper is intended to facilitate the work of Internet users concerned about issues related to the heritage conservation. For this aim, nineteen websites referred to this field are discussed. The selection criteria have been established attending to the products they offer: databases, training and research programmes and other kind of resources online. The main objective has been to develop one user guide that enables access quickly and effectively to the information they offer.

Our visual perception is strongly influenced by the anatomical structure of the eye and bylighting conditions. While looking at the painting, we perceive existing colour attributes,using retinal photoreceptors – cones – that serve our vision at higher luminance levels. Lighting, on the other hand, affects our colour discrimination as well as our perception ofthree dimensions of colour. During the retouching process our visual system can be affected by multiple optical impressionsthat many painting conservators are not fully aware of. Colour distortion phenomena canimpact our observation stealthily, while producing simultaneous contrasts and after images that interfere with our colour discrimination as well as our decisions in pigment mixing.The aim of this paper is to analyse these optical properties and to provide practical guidelines that will minimize colour distortion. One of the proposals is the use of 18% reflective grey card to cover adjacent colours around the paint loss. This method can be adopted as a helpful implement for tuning our colour perception.

The study of oil painting technique on cellulose supports is still an understudied area that hasnevertheless been achieving a crescent relevance. Being oil painting on rigid and semi-rigidsupports (cardboard) of most common practice, the interest arise mainly around the useof paper as an oil painting support, the materials used and, most of all, the characteristicsthese supports should have to be able to receive oil-based materials.This article, which comes from the author’s dissertation conducted under master’s degree inConservation of Cultural Heritage, focuses on this theme, with the main point of the specimenstudied: three oil on paper and cardboard paintings, made by Marques de Oliveira, fromthe optics of composition, execution techniques, materials used and state of conservation.

The gilded polychrome carved wood in Portugal, (talha dourada) gained its most rich expression during the Baroque epoch with the development of production techniques and the use of of gold leaf. The present paper proposes a complementary and comparative study of two important complexes of talha: one from St. Alberto’s church, integrating the visiting circuit of the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (Lisbon), and the other from church of Vale de Figueira (Santarém district). Both complexes house talha dourada’s decoration from the 18th century, that were studied through an inter-disciplinary approach, in which analytical data (optical microscopy, fluorescent stain, XRF, SEM-EDX, micro-computerized tomography, FTIR, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry) complement historical data.

Esta investigação abordará a atuação do Tribunal de Justiça da União Europeia em defesa dos Direitos Fundamentais. O objetivo principal consiste em averiguar, através de jurisprudência, como o Tribunal de Justiça, do TJUE, se porta frente ao caso de violação dos Direitos Fundamentais dos cidadãos da União Europeia e como objetivo secundário abarcará desde o contexto histórico dos Direito Humanos até a positivação dos Direitos Fundamentais na União Europeia. A metodologia será a qualitativa, através de estudos bibliográficos de livros, dissertações, artigos e legislações que fundamentem os objetivos do trabalho. Demonstra-se como resultado da investigação que o Tribunal de Justiça da União Europeia vem, em sua decisão, operando para o resguardo dos Direitos Fundamentais e das liberdades dos cidadãos da União Europeia contra atos discriminatórios, por conseguinte a aplicação de uma justiça equitativa.

O presente trabalho visa a analisar o desenvolvimento da noção de cidadania europeia em direção a uma cidadania social e a construção de um padrão de jusfundamentalidade em matéria de direitos sociais pelo TJUE. Através do método de estudo de caso e do método analítico, coletaremos a jurisprudência do TJUE quanto ao conteúdo mínimo de direitos fundamentais a serem assegurados aos cidadãos europeus, especificamente quanto aos direitos sociais. Inicialmente, identificaremos a evolução histórica do conceito de cidadania europeia. Em seguida, passaremos ao estudo do seu desenvolvimento rumo a uma cidadania social. Analisaremos, ainda, a importância da CDFUE na consolidação desta cidadania social. Ao final, concluiremos com a forma através da qual o TJUE preenche o conteúdo do direito à cidadania em matéria de direitos sociais.

Pedro Alexandrino de Carvalho was one of the most prolific Portuguese artist in the second half of the eighteenth century, emphasizing mainly on production of altar screens and ceiling paintings.The altar screen is a constant presence in the altar piece of the eighteenth century and can cover the oblong chamber in the body of the altar in a fixed or mobile form. Through the work of the Last Supper with the signing of Pedro Alexandrino we aim: to present the example of a painting that has a display system that allows it to be collected and hidden, to characterize the pictorial technique employed and identify changes arising from the history of painting.
