The Risk-Return Relation in Portuguese and US Equity Markets
Get PDFDe acordo com os académicos, o retorno esperado de capital é uma função linear do risco: quanto maior o risco maior o retorno esperado. Esta relação é uma das premissas de modelos bem conhecidos de preço do capital, como o modelo CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) ou os modelos de 3, 4 ou 5 fatores, que têm sido utilizados por académicos e investidores profissionais.N/

Stability and change in teacher-infant interaction quality over time
Get PDFGiven that an increasing number of infants spend part of the day in center-based childcare in many countries, understanding infants’ education and care experiences in these settings is essential. The aims of
this study are to examine change in teacher-infant interaction quality over time, and to determine the
extent to which teacher and classroom structural characteristics are associated with change in teacherinfantinteraction quality. Ninety infant childcare classrooms from the greater metropolitan area of Porto,
Portugal, participated in this study. Each classroom was observed twice (6-month interval between Time
1 and Time 2) by trained and reliable observers using the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale –
Revised (ITERS-R; Harms et al., 2006), the Classroom Assessment Scoring System – Infant (CLASS-Infant;
Hamre et al., 2014), and the Caregiver Interaction Scale (CIS; Arnett, 1989). Additionally, teachers provided demographic information aboutthemselves and structural characteristics ofthe classroom. Overall
results indicated that the quality of teacher-infant interactions changed over time, with a general trend
toward lower quality at Time 2. The increase in infant:adult ratio from Time 1 to Time 2 was an important predictor of process quality levels at Time 2, after controlling for prior quality and other structural
characteristics. These findings can be informative for policymaking as group size and number of adults
per classroom are regulated features of childcare in many countries, including Portugalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The quality of caregiver–child interactions in infant classrooms in Portugal: the role of caregiver education
Get PDFRecent research has shown that caregiver education and training can be important in determining levels of quality in early childhood, but has mainly considered the education and training of the lead teacher.
In infant child care, however, classrooms have more than one caregiver with varying levels of education and in Portugal it is less common to have a qualified teacher exclusively assigned to infant classrooms.
This study examines the quality of caregiver–child interactions in infant classrooms and its association with caregiver qualifications and training, specifically the level of pre-service education and in-service
training of the lead caregiver, whether she is exclusively assigned to an infant classroom or to more classrooms, and the pre-service education of the multiple caregivers in the classroom. Participants
were 90 infant classrooms from Porto, Portugal. The CLASS–Infant was used to measure quality of caregiver–infant interactions. Classrooms with one lead caregiver holding at least a bachelor’s degree, whether
exclusively assigned to the infant classroom or not, showed higher levels of quality. Few effects were found for in-service training. Results suggest that lead teachers with pre-service education in early childhood are likely to play an important role not only directly by interacting with children but also indirectly through team work.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Service Quality Perceptions, Online Visibility, and Business Performance in Rural Lodging Establishments
Get PDFIn the tourism industry, most customer feedback and searches for relevant information take place online. Therefore, it is
important to improve understanding of the business consequences of both customers’ online comments and businesses’
online visibility. For this study, the authors collected comments and visibility data (advertising expenditures) from a leading
rural tourism infomediary website, related to 408 French rural lodging establishments. A complementary survey provided
information about the lodging establishments’ performance (reputation and profitability). The results reveal that tourists’
positive perceptions of global service quality, as reflected in their comments, depend on their dual perceptions of the lodging
and the surroundings. In turn, positive global service quality perceptions and visibility on an infomediary website positively
affect business performance. These findings have implications for tourism scholars, as well as for establishment owners trying
to track the factors that affect tourists’ evaluations of their service provision.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
New Business: have you done your homework?
Get PDFThis paper intends to present a new business canvas that can help entrepreneurs
doing their homework before starting a new venture. The Basic Business Creation Model
(BBCM) acts like an acid test validating or not the new idea. It can be used as a pedagogical
tool as well as a first approach to a new project. With a few steps it is possible to structure
the business and assess its economic viability. More, the model makes the entrepreneur
decide and act based on a strategic reflection upon the critical factors to be succeeded, and
it develops a new insight about the value model that underlies any business.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

O que (ou)vimos pode alterar o que sentimos?
No full textNo nosso dia-a-dia, e preferencialmente quando olhamos para uma imagem que pode ser um livro ou até uma figura histórica da nossa cidade, temos um pensamento prototipado que vai de encontro às nossas vivências, a nossa cultura, mas também e preferencialmente ao nosso ser mais íntimo. Mas será que se olharmos para essa mesma imagem e estivermos, ao mesmo tempo, a ouvir uma música que pode ou não ter um significado para nós, pensaremos da mesma forma? Ou seja, conseguirá a música ter influência na forma como encaramos aquilo que vemos e vice-versa?N/
