Abstract
A perspetiva pós-digital da contemporaneidade caracteriza-se por duas linhas fundamentais de pensamento que se entre cruzam e se complementam, ao assumir, por um lado, a inevitabilidade da onipresença da tecnologia computacional digital em todos os aspetos da vida, ou seja, a sua ubiquidade concreta; e por outro lado, constatar a emergência de uma nova materialidade ou rematerialização nas práticas de criação digital na arte e cultura, onde os materiais físicos tangíveis assumem um papel equiparado ao digital enquanto o expandem e o reposicionam em uma estética que se reveste de características próprias diferenciadoras. Neste artigo apresentamos uma reflexão critica sobre processos de rematerialização digital de um conjunto de três artefactos de arte têxtil, procurando convocar para o efeito as teorias do pós-digital, enquanto se propõe e discute uma instanciação definidora de uma estética têxtil pós-digital.;The post-digital perspective of contemporaneity is characterized by two fundamental lines of thought that intersect and complement each other by assuming, on the one hand, the inevitability of the omnipresence of digital computer technology in all aspects of life, that is, its concrete ubiquity; and, on the other hand, by noting the emergence of new materiality or rematerialisation in the practices of digital creation in art and culture, where tangible physical materials assume an equal role to the digital while expanding and repositioning it in an aesthetic that is vested with its own distinctive characteristics. In this paper, we present a critical reflection on processes of digital rematerialisation of a set of three textile art artefacts, seeking to convoke for this purpose the theories of the post-digital while proposing and discussing a defining instantiation of post-digital textile aesthetics.

Abstract
The interest in expanding the production of hops outside the traditional cultivation regions, mainly motivated by the growth of the craft brewery business, justifies the intensification of studies into its adaptation to local growing conditions. In this study, four field trials were undertaken on a twenty-year-old hop garden, over periods of up to three years to assess the effect of important agro-environmental variation factors on hop phenol and phenolic composition and to establish its relationship with the elemental composition of hop cones. All the field trials were arranged as factorial designs exploring the combined effect of: (1) plots of different vigour plants x year; (2) plots of different plant vigor x algae- and nutrient-rich foliar sprays x year; (3) plot x liming x year; and (4) cultivars (Nugget, Cascade, Columbus) x year. Total phenols in hops, were significantly influenced by most of the experimental factors. Foliar spraying and liming were the factors that least influenced the measured variables. The year had the greatest effect on the accumulation of total phenols in hop cones in the different trials and may have contributed to interactions that often occurred between the factors under study. The year average for total phenol concentrations in hop cones ranged from 11.9 mg g(-1) to 21.2 mg g(-1). Significant differences in quantity and composition of phenolic compounds in hop cones were also found between cultivars. The phenolic compounds identified were mainly flavonols (quercetin and kaempferol glycosides) and phenolic carboxylic acids (p-coumaric and caffeic acids).

Abstract
While Industry 4.0 promises large technological improvements, firms face multiple challenges in its adoption. Current literature has made significant efforts to identify the barriers which are common to most companies but fails to identify their interrelationships and their implications for practitioners. We use interpretive structural modelling (ISM) methodology to identify these barriers and their interrelationships, combined with matrix impact of cross multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) analysis to identify the root barriers, in the context of the Portuguese manufacturing industry. We categorize these barriers using the Technology -Organization-Environment framework. We conclude that barriers related to standardization and lack of off -the-shelf solutions are considered root barriers. Our results differ from other studies that regard barriers related to legal and contractual uncertainty with the highest driving power and lowest dependence power. Also, we find that organizational barriers have the highest dependency and lowest driving power, contradicting studies on the topic. We provide recommendations for managers and policymakers in three areas: Standardization Dissemination, Infrastructure Development, and Digital Strategy.

Abstract
Available volumes of nanosats such as CubeSats impose physical limits to the telescope diameter, limiting achievable spatial resolution and photometric capability. For example, a 12U CubeSat typically only has sufficient volume to host a 20 cm diameter monolithic telescope. In this paper, we present recent advances in deployable optics to host a 30 cm+ diameter telescope in a 6U CubeSat, with a volume of 4U dedicated to the payload and 2U to the satellite bus. To reach this high level of compactness, we fold the primary and secondary mirrors for launch, which are then unfolded and aligned in space. Diffraction-limited imaging quality in the visible part of the spectrum is achieved by controlling each mirror segment in piston, tip, and tilt. In this paper, we first describe overall satellite concept, we then report on the opto-mechanical design of the payload to deploy and adjust the mirrors. Finally, we discuss the automatic phasing of the primary to control the final optical quality of the telescope.

Abstract
Worldwide, family businesses are one of the cornerstones of the entrepreneurial fabric, being as a consequence central to growth and development. In a globalized era, these institutions require the attention of businessmen, practitioners, and policymakers. The chapter seeks to examine if the internationalization performance does vary according to firm size, and its link to the innovative performance in multiple dimensions along with conventional characteristics such as age and turnover. Theoretical research evidences the interest in understanding the patterns and determinants of the internationalization performance, given its importance in firm growth and survival; however, this strategical option brings advantages and problems. Empirical evidence demonstrates that the determinants do change according to firm dimension; estimations provide valuable insights about the connection between globalized operation and innovation, for the different organisations. © 2022 by IGI Global.
