The discussion starts from the premise inserting a interactor , endowed with the functions of narrating and acting within the game , which has the task of managing immersive three-dimensional environments and conducting an interactive narrative experience with greater breadth and dramatic . Through participation in the narrative of human intelligence driving within the interactive medium , it seeks to reduce the verbal limitations of the media and create a favorable condition for the application of classical narrative structures in the digital environment . The research relies methodologically on two core elements: narrative structures applied to the digital medium , aligning the narrative and drama to new concepts such as procedural narrative classic elements and features of the digital narrative , and investigates the possibilities of introducing the figure of interactor / narrator in a new digital narrative structure , in which it is possible and in this game, player to reach a wider range of possibilities of meaning and narrative / A pesquisa apresenta e analisa a situação de conflito entre a dramaticidade das mídias clássicas e a liberdade interativa das mídias digitais através do desenvolvimento de um jogo digital focado no narrador e no ato de narrar. Apresenta o conceito de gestão narrativa, contextualizando-o no âmbito dos jogos digitais e discutindo a relevância da presença de um narrador em tempo real intervindo no campo do discurso intra jogo. A análise e discussão partem da premissa da necessidade da inserção de um interator, dotado das funções de narrar e atuar dentro do jogo, o qual tem a tarefa da gestão dos ambientes tridimensionais imersivos do jogo e da condução de uma experiência narrativa com maior amplitude interativa e dramática. (Hipótese) Através da participação da inteligência humana na condução narrativa dentro do meio interativo, se busca diminuir as limitações verbais da mídia e criar uma condição favorável à aplicação de estruturas narrativas clássicas no ambiente digital. A pesquisa apoia-se metodologicamente em dois elementos de base: estruturas narrativas aplicadas ao meio digital, alinhando elementos clássicos da narrativa e do drama a novos conceitos como a narrativa procedural, e particularidades da narrativa digital; e investiga as possibilidades de introdução da figura do interator/narrador dentro de uma nova estrutura de narrativa digital, na qual seja possível que este, bem como o jogador presente no jogo, alcancem uma gama maior de possibilidades de sentido e narrativa

As the massive use of games, these will be the object of analysis, since much of the virtual experience occurs in them. This research sought to establish the relationship between the factual and digital spaces in games in order to benefit the development levels of the game from the knowledge developed in architectural studies. The research is based on the thoughts of Mark Vitruvius, Martin Heidegger, Umberto Eco, Grant Hildebrand, Ernst Gombrich, Luís Carlos Petry, Nelson Brissac Peixoto and Lev Manovich, among others. The hypothesis of this study is that despite the differences between the factual and the virtual space, both can use the same concepts and methodology to be created, since they can also inhabited and are perceived similarly. Thus, in the first chapter of the research we tried to present a mimesis of the three-dimensional world in various media: painting, technical drawing and film, since they contributed to the understanding of the representation of virtual spaces. In the second chapter, we worked the relations of space for it actants with these environments and the relationship between user-architectural, who inhabits the factual space and the viewer-interactor, who inhabit the virtual environment, in addition to the concepts of navigable spaces, immersion and avatar, all important for reading the digital space and the development of their relationship to the factual space. Finally, in the third chapter, we performed a case study of the game "The Last of Us" from architectural concepts and design level and in relation to conceptual and methodological development part. Soon after, it was discussed directly the relationship between architecture and level design, and this time with the focus on the form of the creation of spaces, and how this is understood by the person who inhabits it. In the last part of the paper discussed the concept of architectural level design, which presents some ways of thinking about architecture and its relationship with the level design. From this conceptualization, we propose a development methodology architecture design level / Arquitetura e Level Design nos Games Com os espaços virtuais tornando-se cada vez mais presentes no nosso cotidiano, faz-se necessário um estudo mais aprofundado para entender a relação que o homem possuí para com este espaço virtual, como ele o entende e como ele pode construir. Como o uso massivo de games, estes serão o objeto de análise, pois boa parte da vivência virtual se dá nos mesmos. Nesta pesquisa buscou-se estabelecer a relação entre os espaços fáticos e digitais nos games com o intuito de beneficiar o desenvolvimento de níveis dos jogos a partir do conhecimento desenvolvido em estudos de arquitetura. A pesquisa tem como base os pensamentos de Marcos Vitrúvio, Martin Heidegger, Umberto Eco, Grant Hildebrand, Ernst Gombrich, Luís Carlos Petry, Nelson Brissac Peixoto e Lev Manovich, dentre outros. A hipótese desta pesquisa é que apesar das diferenças entre o espaço fático e o virtual, ambos podem utilizar os mesmos conceitos e metodologia para serem criados, uma vez que também podem são percebidos e habitados de forma semelhante. Desta forma, no primeiro capítulo da pesquisa buscou-se apresentar uma mimese do mundo tridimensional em diversos suportes: na pintura, no desenho técnico e cinema, já que eles contribuíram para o entendimento da representação dos espaços virtuais. No segundo capítulo trabalhou-se as relações dos actantes do espaço para com estes ambientes e a relação entre o usuário-arquitetônico, aquele que habita o espaço fático e o espectador-interator, aquele que habita o ambiente virtual, além dos conceitos de espaço navegável, imersão e avatar, todos importantes para a leitura do espaço digital e para a elaboração de sua relação para com o espaço fático. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, realizou-se um estudo de caso do jogo The Last of Us a partir de conceitos arquitetônicos e de design de nível e em relação à parte conceitual e metodológica de desenvolvimento. Logo após, discutiu-se diretamente a relação entre arquitetura e design de nível e, desta vez com o foco na forma de criação dos espaços, e em como este é compreendido pelo sujeito que o habita. Na última parte do trabalho discutiu-se o conceito de projeto de arquitetura de nível, onde são apresentados alguns modos de se pensar arquitetura e suas relações com o design de nível. A partir desta conceituação é proposta uma metodologia de desenvolvimento de projeto de arquitetura de nível.

A indústria de pedras preciosas de Soledade/RS e região gera em seus processos de beneficiamento grande quantidade de rejeitos gemológicos, que acabam sendo depositados nos pátios das empresas, podendo causar danos ao meio ambiente. A gema de maior volume de beneficiamento na região é a ágata. Este trabalho propõe uma técnica para efetuar a reutilização de rejeitos oriundos do beneficiamento da ágata e transformá-los em matériaprima para a fabricação de objetos via impressão tridimensional a jato de tinta (3DP). Através da utilização de metodologia adequada para moagem e classificação dos rejeitos, foi possível obter pó com granulometria adequada ao processo. Foram efetuadas duas formulações de matéria-prima, utilizando o método de aglutinação orgânico, com material de ligação misturado ao pó e líquido de deposição reologicamente simples. Foram efetuados testes de bancada para interação entre o pó e o aglutinante, testes em equipamento de prototipagem rápida e confecção de corpos de prova, que mais tarde foram submetidos a medição e ensaios de resistência mecânica à flexão a 4 pontos. Das análises efetuadas, a primeira formulação não foi considerada satisfatória, pois teve grandes deformações durante a construção e manipulação e pós-tratamento. Já a segunda formulação alcançou a mesma resistência mecânica do material disponibilizado pelo fabricante, com coerência nas formas geométricas e desvios dimensionais reduzidos. Com a utilização desta nova matéria-prima, estima-se que o custo final de fabricação das peças seja reduzido em até 70%, viabilizando a utilização do processo por empresas de micro e pequeno porte. / The gem processing industries of Soledade/RS and region generate a large amount of waste which is eventually deposited in the companies’ grounds and may damage the environment. The gem with largest volume of processing in the region is the agate. This work is a review of the reuse of wastes of agate as raw materials for inkjet three-dimensional printing (3DP). Through the use of appropriate methodology for grinding and classification of waste it was possible to obtain powder with a particle size indicated to the process. Two formulations of raw material were made, using the organic binding method with the binder material mixed into the powder and using the deposition simple rheological liquid. Bench tests were performed for powder binder interaction, and equipment was used for produce of test specimens which were later subjected to measurement and testing of mechanical strength. Based on the analysis the first formulation was not considered acceptable as it had large deformations during construction, manipulation and post-treatment. The second formulation reached the same mechanical strength of the manufacturer material with consistency in geometric shapes and dimensional deviation. Using this new raw material the estimated final cost of parts manufacturing is reduced by 70% making the use of the process available to micro and small businesses.

The global requirement for sustainable energy provision will become increasingly important over the next fifty years as the environmental effects of fossil fuel use become apparent. Therefore, the issues surrounding integration of renewable energy supplies need to be considered carefully. The focus of this work was the development of an innovative computer aided design of a 3 Dimensional renewable energy platform for Togo’s smart grid power system infrastructure. It demonstrates its validation for industrial, commercial and domestic applications. The Wind, Hydro, and PV system forming our 3 Dimensional renewable energy power generation systems introduces a new path for hybrid systems which extends the system capacities to include, a stable and constant clean energy supply, a reduced harmonic distortion, and an improved power system efficiency. Issues requiring consideration in high percentage renewable energy systems therefore includes the reliability of the supply when intermittent sources of electricity are being used, and the subsequent necessity for storage and back-up generation The adoption of Genetic algorithms in this case was much suited in minimizing the THD as the adoption of the CHB-MLI was ideal for connecting renewable energy sources with an AC grid. Cascaded inverters have also been proposed for use as the main traction drive in electric vehicles, where several batteries or ultra-capacitors are well suited to serve as separate DC sources. The simulation done in various non-linear load conditions showed the proportionality of an integral control based compensating cascaded passive filter thereby balancing the system even in non-linear load conditions. The measured total harmonic distortion of the source currents was found to be 2.36% thereby in compliance with IEEE 519-1992 and IEC 61000-3 standards for harmonics This work has succeeded in developing a more complete tool for analysing the feasibility of integrated renewable energy systems. This will allow informed decisions to be made about the technical feasibility of supply mix and control strategies, plant type, sizing and storage sizing, for any given area and range of supply options. The developed 3D renewable energy platform was examined and evaluated using CAD software analysis and a laboratory base mini test. The initial results showed improvements compared to other hybrid systems and their existing control systems. There was a notable improvement in the dynamic load demand and response, stability of the system with a reduced harmonic distortion. The derivatives of this research therefore proposes an innovative solution and a path for Togo and its intention of switching to renewable energy especially for its smart grid power system infrastructure. It demonstrates its validation for industrial, commercial and domestic applications.

Studien är en kvalitativ studie med fokus på hur tredimensionella objekt framställs och arbetas med i matematikundervisningen. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur lärare varierar undervisningsmetoder i undervisningen om geometri och tredimensionella objekt samt vilka variationsmönster som synliggörs i lärarnas undervisning. Studien utgår från tidigare granskad forskning om geometriundervisning. Studiens undersökningar har genomförts på två olika skolor i två olika kommuner i södra Sverige där båda klasserna som varit en del av studien tillhört årskurs 6. Den datainsamling som gjorts bygger på fem genomförda observationer av två olika klasser samt intervjuer av undervisande lärare för dessa klasser. Studiens resultat visar bland annat att geometriundervisning där läromedel kompletteras med andra undervisningsmetoder såsom konkret material kan vara gynnande för elevers inlärning och för lärare vid undervisning om tredimensionella objekt.
