Sommario/riassunto

Nesta obra reúnem-se cerca de meia centena de textos que retratam, a partir de diferente experiências, perspetivas e olhares disciplinares, a forma como a pandemia provocada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 foi sentida na Universidade do Minho, a primeira universidade portuguesa a ser atingida pelos seus efeitos, a partir de 7 de março de 2020. Os contributos aqui reunidos exprimem o modo como a comunidade



académica se organizou para garantir o funcionamento da instituição e o cumprimento da sua missão, quer no âmbito do ensino, quer da investigação e da inovação, não dispensando uma necessária reflexão crítica sobre a nova realidade que se afirmou com a pandemia, o seu significado e os impactos da mesma na sociedade.Dado o elevado número e a diversidade dos contributos, a obra organiza-se em três volumes, que tentam dar resposta a três possíveis interrogações. Assim, o 1º volume, com o subtítulo de 'Reflexões', procura equacionar diferentes perspectivas em torno da questão: Mas o que é isto? Já o 2º volume, que recebe o subtítulo de '(Re)Ações', corporiza um conjunto de textos que reflete as atuações em diferentes áreas da dimensão académica, elucidando quanto ao modo: Como reagimos? Finalmente, o 3º volume, que acusa o subtítulo de 'Projeções', dá expressão a uma inevitável pergunta: E agora? Pois, afinal, todos sabemos que isto não vai, nem pode, ficar tudo bem.

Sommario/riassunto

"For Resilience Engineering, 'failure' is the result of the adaptations necessary to cope with the complexity of the real world, rather than a breakdown or malfunction. The performance of individuals and organizations must continually adjust to current conditions and, because resources and time are finite, such adjustments are always approximate. This definitive new book explores this groundbreaking new development in safety and risk management, where 'success' is



based on the ability of organizations, groups and individuals to anticipate the changing shape of risk before failures and harm occur. Featuring contributions from many of the worlds leading figures in the fields of human factors and safety, Resilience Engineering provides thought-provoking insights into system safety as an aggregate of its various components, subsystems, software, organizations, human behaviours, and the way in which they interact. The book provides an introduction to Resilience Engineering of systems, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects. It is written for those responsible for system safety on managerial or operational levels alike, including safety managers and engineers (line and maintenance), security experts, risk and safety consultants, human factors professionals and accident investigators."--Provided by publisher.
