    A mitologia africana e representações do feminino em O Alegre Canto da Perdiz de Paulina Chiziane

    No full text
    Este trabalho analisa a presença da mitologia e as representações mitológicas do feminino na obra O Alegre Canto da Perdiz da escritora moçambicana Paulina Chiziane. Nesta obra, a autora usa mitos de origem matriarcal como uma forma de suscitar reflexões sobre a condição e o lugar que mulheres moçambicanas, e por extensão africanas, ocupam nas sociedades. Os mitos presentes na obra foram recolhidos da tradição oral moçambicana, por isso a análise que fazemos busca também compreender como a autora procura manter viva a sua matriz cultural, preservá-la e estar em permanente diálogo com a mesma. Ademais, na obra, a presença do mito tanto permite refletir sobre a condição sociocultural das mulheres como permite pensar sobre as próprias origens de Moçambique. Assim, analisamos igualmente como a autora tece relações entre a mitologia, as vozes femininas centrais do enredo e a história do seu país. Buscamos entender como a obra espelha momentos históricos importantes pelos quais Moçambique passou, por exemplo a escravatura e a colonização e que conflitos e fragmentações identitárias daí resultaram, por meio das vivências das personagens femininas centrais, nomeadamente Serafina, Delfina, Maria das Dores e Maria Jacinta. Acreditamos que através das trajetórias femininas, na obra, a autora evidencia as dinâmicas de poder em sociedades patriarcais que teimam em subalternizar as mulheres; reflete sobre as formas e estratégias de resistência que as mulheres desenvolvem para subsistir em contextos adversos; instiga as mulheres a mobilizarem-se e a tomarem as rédeas do seu caminho; e propõe olhar para as raízes culturais como fonte de referências na construção do ser e estar no mundoThis work analyzes the presence of mythology and the mythological representations of the feminine in the novel O Alegre Canto da Perdiz by Mozambican writer Paulina Chiziane. In the novel, the author uses myths of matriarchal origin as a way of raising reflections on the condition and place that Mozambican women, and by extension African women, occupy in societies. The myths present in the novel were collected from the Mozambican oral tradition, so the analysis we carry out also seeks to understand how the author seeks to keep her cultural matrix alive, preserve it and be in permanent dialogue with it. Furthermore, in the novel, the presence of myth both allows us to reflect on the sociocultural condition of women and also allows us to think about the origins of Mozambique itself. Thus, we also analyze how the author weaves relationships between mythology, the central female voices of the plot and the history of her country. We seek to understand how the novel mirrors important historical moments that Mozambique went through, for example slavery and colonization and which conflicts and identity fragmentations resulted from this, through the experiences of the central female characters, namely Delfina, Serafina, Maria das Dores and Maria Jacinta. We believe that through female trajectories in the novel, the author highlights the dynamics of power in patriarchal societies that insist on subordinating women; reflects on the forms and strategies of resistance that women develop to survive in adverse contexts; encourages women to mobilize and take control of their trajectory and proposes looking at cultural roots as a source of reference in the construction of being and living in the world

    Innovating public procurement: impact of a market-specific retrieval-augmented generation model for Switzerland

    No full text
    This research paper analyzes the impact of a market-specific Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) model on public procurement in Switzerland. Despite the sector's developed transparency, it remains underutilized due to knowledge gaps and limited data accessibility. Therefore, this study explores how a customized RAG model can enhance data accessibility, automate processes, and strengthen analytical capabilities. Key areas of focus include automating repetitive tasks, ensuring compliance, integrating relevant APIs, and conducting analytics. Finally, the research outlines recommendations for developing RAG models and their potential to drive innovation in public procurement in Switzerland

    How relevant is the information contained in credit transfer microdata for the economic sector and regional salary characterisation in Portugal?

    No full text
    Salary information is crucial for designing and evaluating labour market policies. Traditional data sources on salaries in Portugal usually have significant time lags, limiting decisions during volatile periods. Since credit transfers are widely used for salary payments, daily transaction data collected by Banco de Portugal presents a timely alternative. This study evaluates the suitability of credit transfer transactions for analysing salary dynamics in Portugal during the first semester of 2024. The findings demonstrate that credit transfer payments data offers up to-date and detailed insights into salary trends and regional disparities, providing a valuable tool for monitoring and informing policy decisions

    The impact of reinforcing the well-being positioning on female consumers perception of Super Bock Sky

    No full text
    This study explores whether reinforcing the well-being positioning of Super Bock Sky can increase purchase intent among female consumers. Using Keller’s Brand Equity model and qualitative interviews, the research reveals that the brand’s identity aligns with health-conscious values but lacks strong awareness and consumer loyalty. Recommendations focus on brand activations and clearer messaging to enhance relevance. While results suggest positive impact, consistent long-term effort is needed to build stronger engagement with this growing segment

    Doing lean vs being lean: a critical look at cultural barriers to implementation

    No full text
    Implementing Lean in unstable, high-variability environments reveals a gap between technical efficiency and organizational capability. This research explores the distinction between adopting Lean tools and embodying Lean thinking, using the Bracchi BSK case as a lens. A Lean plan to double packaging capacity for a client shows how tools like standardization, takt time, and automation may undermine improvement if not supported by cultural alignment. Sustainable change demands more than redesign: it requires trust, participation, and continuous learning. Without addressing human factors such as motivation, recognition, and inclusion, Lean tools alone may prove insufficient to achieve long-term transformation
