Bioenergy relations with agriculture, forestry and other land uses: Highlighting the specific contributions of artificial intelligence and co-citation networks
No full textThe concerns with the environment and sustainability have promoted options for energy sources that mitigate the footprint of human life. The use of biomass from agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFOLU) has enormous potential for the production of bioenergy as a renewable source of energy. In this context, this research aims to analyse the interrelationships between bioenergy and agriculture, forestry and other land uses, highlighting the contributions of the digital transition for these dimensions. To achieve these objectives, a bibliometric analysis through co-citation links (and items related to cited authors, references and sources) was carried out for the dimensions associated with the bioenergy and the AFOLU and after a specific literature survey was performed for the contributions from the digital transition for these frameworks. With this study, top authors, references and sources were identified for the topics assessed and it was highlighted the importance of digital transitions for more efficient bioenergy use and production in the worldwide contexts.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
A Teologia Coaching e Teologia da Prosperidade no TikTok
No full textEsta dissertação aborda a evolução das estratégias de comunicação no campo religioso, especialmente no contexto das redes sociais, com foco na análise de conteúdo dos líderes religiosos e influencers digitais Deive Leonardo e Tiago Brunet no TikTok. Para o alcance do objetivo proposto, lança-se mão de uma metodologia predominantemente qualitativa, a análise de conteúdo, que constitui um campo teórico-metodológico composto por um conjunto de técnicas de análise das comunicações. Para a definição do corpus de análise, levou-se em consideração dois critérios norteadores para entender as estratégias de comunicação utilizadas na rede social TikTok, no âmbito religioso, a saber: 1. Seleção de modo intencional de dois líderes religiosos que representam o discurso da Teologia Coaching e da Teologia da Prosperidade, com grande número de seguidores, na rede social digital Tik Tok, Deive Leonardo e Tiago Brunet; 2. Definição de categorias de análise para entender a construção das estratégias de comunicação a partir dos conteúdos disponibilizados nas respetivas redes sociais. Os resultados alcançados apontam que as principais estratégias de comunicação são: opção por linguagem simples, sempre com sentido positivo; mensagens com conteúdos que suscitam interesse por parte dos seguidores, ou seja, mensagens espirituais, de inspiração e motivação, desenvolvimento pessoal, com dicas de sucesso e superação; utilização de vídeos curtos e dotados de elementos que estimulam a atenção e a emoção, como música instrumental, recursos oferecidos pela rede social TikTok. Vale ressaltar que esse tipo de mediatização nas redes sociais, potencializado pelos discursos coaching e da prosperidade, alcança cada vez mais adeptos, tendo em vista o anseio por sucesso e visibilidade.This research explores the evolution of communication strategies in the religious field, particularly in the context of social media, focusing on the content analysis of religious leaders and digital influencers Deive Leonardo and Tiago Brunet on TikTok. To achieve the proposed objective, a predominantly qualitative methodology, content analysis, is employed. This methodological approach encompasses a set of techniques for analyzing communications. The definition of the analysis corpus considered two guiding criteria to understand communication strategies used on the TikTok social media platform in the religious context: 1. Intentional selection of two religious leaders representing the discourse of Coaching Theology and Prosperity Theology, with a large number of followers on the digital social network TikTok, namely Deive Leonardo and Tiago Brunet; 2. Definition of analysis categories to comprehend the construction of communication strategies based on the content provided on their respective social media platforms. Results indicate that the main communication strategies include: opting for simple language with a consistently positive tone; messages containing content that captivates followers, such as spiritual messages, inspiration, motivation, personal development, success tips, and overcoming challenges; using short videos with elements that stimulate attention and emotion, such as instrumental music, features offered by the TikTok social media platform. It is worth noting that this type of mediatization on social media, fueled by coaching and prosperity discourses, is attracting an increasing number of followers due to the desire for success and visibility

Jovens, media e tecnologia - práticas e hábitos de estudantes de comunicação social no acesso à informação
No full textAs part of the project “Media Literacy in Higher Education: an exploratory study with Social Communication students”, the authors intend to assess the degree of media literacy of students attending a course in Media Studies. This article analyses the data that crosses the answers to an online questionnaire with the results of a focus group, instruments applied to first-year undergraduate students in the scope of media consumption habits and practices. The results show the prevalence of screens, especially social media and television, as means of information consumption and point to the prevalence of the smartphone and the replacement of entertainment consumption on television by streaming platforms. The relevance and contribution of this study involve the idea of change in consumption habits, with special emphasis on a generational group, which is in training to exercise a profession in social communication. Given the change in the communicational paradigm, media education continues to play a fundamental role in developing critical thinking to understand this change and its implications in the current society of screens, where information overload reigns and consumption is differentiated.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
From Validation to Assessment of e-Health Literacy: A Study among Higher Education Students in Portugal
Get PDFDespite their familiarity with technology, higher education students often lack the critical skills needed to assess the credibility of online health information, potentially impacting their health decisions and well-being. This study aims to validate and assess the e-Health Literacy Scale among those in Portuguese higher education. In addition, this study focused on measuring their e-health literacy levels and investigating how these skills relate to different sociodemographic variables. This cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases. Initially, the test–retest reliability and reproducibility of measured e-health literacy were assessed with a convenience sample of 20 participants. Subsequently, the e-health scale was applied to a group of 245 Portuguese higher education students. The research took place from January 2023 to April 2024. The scale exhibited robust internal consistency and reproducibility. Male gender consistently correlates with higher levels of e-health literacy. Students demonstrate good levels of e-health literacy (24/40), reflecting their ability to effectively navigate and utilize health information online. By integrating strategies to further enhance this literacy into university health programs, students can develop essential skills necessary for making informed decisions about their health. This proactive approach not only empowers students to access reliable health resources but also fosters a culture of health literacy that can positively impact their well-being both during their academic journey and beyond graduation.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Business intelligence and sustainable development goals: data-driven strategies
No full textThis exploratory study, based on a preliminary literature review, examined the role of Business Intelligence (BI) in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A qualitative approach was adopted, involving a detailed analysis of existing publications to identify how BI can transform large amounts of data into strategic information, influence critical decisions across different sectors, and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. The integration of BI into SDG strategies and implementation was assessed as an important step forward in addressing global challenges and providing more effective solutions to complex problems. The study suggests that BI can be a driver of sustainable development, improving decision-making based on concrete data to support the SDGs. However, due to the exploratory and preliminary nature of the literature review conducted, the conclusions presented should be considered indicative and subject to confirmation through further research. The work highlights that the effective application of BI, using data to generate strategic intelligence, can lead to significant progress towards a more sustainable and innovative future. It emphasises the importance of overcoming technical constraints and developing analytical skills to maximise the potential of BI to drive sustainable and innovative development on a global scale.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Parametrização da Carroçaria de um Automóvel por Modelação 3D: Construção de um Protótipo
No full textCom este trabalho pretende-se trazer, de novo, à estrada um automóvel da curta, mas
muito interessante indústria automóvel portuguesa da década de 50. Este automóvel,
composto de chassis/longarinas e carroçaria é anterior à era dos atuais automóveis
ligeiros em monobloco. O veículo está mecanicamente completo, mas sem carroçaria,
destruída num acidente em competição. Sem acesso aos desenhos técnicos da
carroçaria e dispondo apenas do documento para aprovação do modelo na então DGV,
desenho sem detalhe e apenas com as cotas principais, tornou-se necessário o recurso
a novas técnicas de parametrização e de modelação, técnicas que a empresa de
restauro não domina.
Neste trabalho de projeto construiu-se o modelo virtual 3D do veículo, no seu todo, a
partir do qual se construirão os gabaritos necessários à moldação dos diferentes
painéis da carroçaria, recorrendo a uma roda inglesa. Este trabalho permitirá, assim,
não só a reconstrução do automóvel, mas também servir de suporte técnico para a
aprovação do veículo para circulação junto da entidade competente IMT.
Com este estudo dá-se também a conhecer as tentativas para trazer para Portugal a
indústria automóvel, as falhadas e as concretizadas, bem como as marcas de
automóveis portuguesas. As dificuldades e as lutas daqueles que tiveram a audácia de
dar início a uma indústria automóvel em Portugal.The aim of this work is to bring back to the road a car from the short-lived but very
interesting Portuguese automobile industry of the 1950s. This car, made up of a
chassis/longliner and bodywork, predates the era of today's unibody cars. The vehicle
is mechanically complete, but without the body, which was destroyed in a racing
accident. Without access to the technical drawings of the bodywork and having only
the document for approval of the model at the then DGV, a drawing with no details
and only the main dimensions, it became necessary to use new parameterization and
modelling techniques, techniques that the restoration company did not master.
In this project, the 3D virtual model of the vehicle was built, from which the templates
needed to shape the different body panels will be built, using an English wheel. This
work will not only enable the car to be rebuilt but will also serve as technical support
for the vehicle's approval for use by the IMT.
This study also reveals the attempts to bring the automobile industry to Portugal, both
failed and successful, as well as the Portuguese car brands. The difficulties and
struggles of those who had the audacity to start an automobile industry in Portugal

Preparing Future Educators: a Higher Education Course Curriculum on Robotics and Environmental Education
No full textThe GREENCODE Higher Education Curriculum has been developed to equip preservice preschool teachers and their respective departments in higher education institutions with the necessary skills and training opportunities to teach children in kindergartens and preschools about sustainable and ecofriendly practices, through unplugged coding and robotics applications. The curriculum enhances children’s understanding of life cycle thinking and other green practices based on the Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) approach. The curriculum serves as a comprehensive framework, encompassing objectives, teaching materials, methods, and assessment techniques. It follows a modular structure that includes theoretical explanations. The curriculum can be adapted by education authorities for in-service training of current preschool teachers, allowing for country-specific modifications based on local needs. This flexible approach ensures that both future and existing teachers are equipped to encourage environmental awareness and digital literacy in young children. The project specifically focuses on preservice preschool teachers, as well as current preschool and ICT teachers, with an emphasis on implementation in targeted countries. The curriculum is structured into five modules. Together, these modules form a robust methodological framework that equips preservice teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate the three topics of robotics, coding and sustainability into their teaching practices from a holistic perspective. The GREENCODE project partners organised consultation workshops in each partner country to invite preschool teachers, administrators and experts to give their views and perspectives on the proposed titles and content of the planned modules
As Conquistas das Modalidades no Jornalismo de Desporto e a Supremacia do Futebol: Estudo de Caso da Imprensa Diária Desportiva Portuguesa
Get PDFO desporto é vivido com uma paixão exacerbada, um fenómeno com clara expressão no jornalismo de desporto, razão que parece justificar a existência de três jornais diários desportivos — A Bola, O Jogo e o Record, em Portugal, um país onde, segundo o último Bareme Imprensa (2022), existem cerca de 5,7 milhões de leitores de jornais e revistas. No contexto desportivo, há uma modalidade que se destaca das demais, o futebol. Por conseguinte, nesta modalidade o foco principal está direcionado para os denominados “três grandes” do futebol português: o Futebol Clube do Porto, o Sporting Clube de Portugal e o Sport Lisboa e Benfica, cujos jogos, independentemente de se realizarem no âmbito das competições nacionais ou internacionais, são dissecados pela imprensa desportiva. No âmbito desta investigação, propusemo-nos a avaliar o destaque que as conquistas de diferentes modalidades, que não o futebol masculino, tiveram nas primeiras páginas dos três jornais desportivos portugueses ao longo do ano de 2021. Concluímos que mesmo perante conquistas ímpares, e em períodos fora das competições nacionais de futebol, as outras modalidades não conseguem o mesmo destaque que o futebol, o que confirma a tendência de “futebolização” do espaço do jornalismo de desporto.Sports are experienced with an exacerbated passion, a phenomenon with a clear expression in sports journalism, which seems to justify the existence of three daily sports newspapers — A Bola, O Jogo and Record, in Portugal, a country where, according to the last Bareme Imprensa (2022), there are around 5.7 million readers of newspapers and magazines. In the sports context, there is one sport that stands out from the others, soccer. Therefore, in this sport, the focus is on the so-called “big three” soccer teams: Futebol Clube do Porto, Sporting Clube de Portugal and Sport Lisboa e Benfica, whose matches, regardless of whether they take place within the scope of national or international competitions, are dissected by the sports press. In the scope of this research, we proposed to evaluate the prominence that the achievements of different sports, other than men's soccer, had in the front pages of the three Portuguese sports newspapers throughout the year 2021. We concluded that even in the face of unparalleled achievements, and in periods outside national soccer competition, other sports do not get the same prominence as soccer, which confirms the trend of “soccerization” of the sports journalism space.El deporte se vive con una pasión exacerbada, un fenómeno con clara expresión el periodismo deportivo, razón que parece justificar la existencia de tres diarios deportivos — A Bola, O Jogo y Record, en Portugal, un país donde, según el último Bareme Imprensa (2022), hay cerca de 5,7 millones de lectores de periódicos y revistas. En el contexto deportivo, hay un deporte que destaca sobre los demás, el fútbol. Por lo tanto, en este deporte la atención se centra en los llamados "tres grandes" del fútbol portugués: Futebol Clube do Porto, Sporting Clube de Portugal y Sport Lisboa e Benfica, cuyos partidos, independientemente de que se celebren en el ámbito de las competiciones nacionales o internacionales, son diseccionados por la prensa deportiva. En el ámbito de esta investigación, nos propusimos evaluar el protagonismo que los logros de diferentes deportes, distintos del fútbol masculino, tuvieron en las portadas de los tres periódicos deportivos portugueses a lo largo del año 2021. Concluimos que, incluso ante logros sin parangón, y en periodos fuera de las competiciones nacionales de fútbol, otros deportes no obtienen el mismo protagonismo que el fútbol, lo que confirma la tendencia a la “futbolización” del espacio del periodismo deportivo.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
