Monograms, inscriptions, ornaments and representations of graphic elements were recurring features and constituents of the undergarments of the early twentieth century. This paper aims to present considerations about the visual communication found on this type of artifact between 1900 and 1930. To achieve such, three-dimensional pieces, catalogs and periodicals from the archive of the National Museum of the Costume, in Lisbon - Portugal, were analyzed. In this sense, from the three-dimensional sources, associated with textual and iconographic sources, this study sought to present the multiple forms and uses of visual communication in undergarments, such as types of inscription, location of representations and marks on the pieces, as well as to discuss questions symbolic and historical factors that determine the importance of these characteristics in the configuration of clothing.

This paper is the result of a study designed to evaluate and diagnose the need to intervene in two social housing complexes (known as "Zona J" and "Pantera Cor-de-rosa"), located in Marvila (Chelas) in the city of Lisbon, and undertaken by a team from ISCTE - Lisbon University Institute, for the IHRU -- Instituto da Habitação e Reabilitação Urbana (Housing and Urban Rehabilitation Institute). In its essence, the study proposes a toolkit for the overseeing entities - Viver Marvila (a department of IHRU) and the CML - Câmara Municipal de Lisboa (Municipal Council) -- to undertake decisions concerning the future of these social housing complexes. These neighbourhoods, which were designed and built in the 1970s and 1980s, are characterized by their social problems and conflicts, management and governance issues, as well as an advanced state of disrepair and deterioration of the buildings and public spaces. Like other social housing complexes, the population is constituted mainly by individuals with low incomes, large families, elderly and unemployed people, exacerbating the potential for crime and insecurity. In this study, we have tried to address a set of issues concerning contemporary constructive and typological solutions. On the one hand, we aim to meet current building standards and the real needs of the dwellers, and, on the other hand, we seek that these same solutions preserve the unequivocal qualities of the original project. We endeavoured to answer the questions at hand through concrete proposals for spatial reorganization of the existing buildings and surrounding urban spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

REGIONAL INNOVATION PROPENSITY IN PORTUGAL: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON PATENT DATA. This paper analyses the regional distribution of patents in Portugal in the period 1980-2008 using information that was recently made available. Lisbon leads the national ranking by far. However, towards the end of the period under analysis, a few regions around Oporto have increased their share in the total number of patents. This has taken place alongside an increase in the total number of patent applications from 2000 onwards, after two decades in which that number remained basically stagnant in Portugal. The main protagonists of this recent increase have been universities and other academic institutions. The paper concludes by stressing that the lack of growth in patent applications by the business sector is a cause for concern, given the gap that still separates Portugal from the countries that top the international patent rankings.

INTER-REGIONAL RELATIONS IN PORTUGAL AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE LISBON METROPOLITAN REGION. In this paper, we address the issue of territorial interdependencies in the case of Portugal. Given the lack of previous scientific work on inter-regional exchanges, the topic is approached from a broad perspective, by referring to the development synergies that can be found between the various regions. In particular, we discuss the specific relations that arise both from proximity and from regional similarities. Using data at the NUTS III level, we argue that, beyond the consolidation of a specific mode of development in the Lisbon metropolitan region, a sustainable articulation between demography and economy can hardly be found anywhere in the country. We conclude that the complex nature of inter-regional relations in Portugal calls for further methodological work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
