- DiABlu: Digital art's bluetoothPublication . Cardoso, Jorge C. S.; Rodrigues, NunoDigital art installations can often gain from the capability of detecting the presence of people observing them. With this information, the artists can enhance the experience of who interacts with their work. While this detection can be made by means of web cameras or sensors, these systems are generally difficult to implement for people with a low knowledge of programming. We propose a system that uses bluetooth to do this detection and allows easy integration with applications often used by digital artists. The system also allows users to interact with the installation using their mobile devices. It's intended to be used in art installations by digital artists who wish to give their audience a new way to interact with their pieces.

- Positive youth development, mental stress and life satisfaction in middle school and high school students in Portugal: outcomes on stress, anxiety and depressionPublication . Carvalho, Marina; Branquinho, Cátia; Moraes, Barbara; Cerqueira, Ana; Tomé, Gina; Noronha, Catarina; Gaspar, Tânia; Rodrigues, Nuno; Matos, Margarida Gaspar deThe relation between positive youth development and stress, anxiety and depression was studied considering the mediator role of psychological symptoms and life satisfaction. A total of 3109 students included in the “Psychological Health and Well-being” study of the School Observatory participated, including 1618 females and 1491 males aged between 11 and 18 years old (M = 14.45; SD = 1.88), belonging to different school groups in different regions of the country. Adolescents with higher stress, depression and anxiety levels reported lower levels of competence, confidence and connection, as well as more psychological symptoms and lower life satisfaction. The results also showed that adolescents with higher levels of competence, confidence and connection reported less psychological symptoms and more life satisfaction. Two separate mediation analyses were performed to analyse the role of mental distress and life satisfaction on the relationship between positive youth development indicators and stress, anxiety and depression. These analyses confirmed the predicted relationships and partial mediations between mental distress and life satisfaction. These results should be taken into account in public policies concerning young people’s health and education that should involve both targeted and indicated prevention strategies, including school and community-based interventions, in order to be effective.
