Gender inequalities: national evidence by activity sectors in the portuguese labour market
No full textThe gender occupational segregation is a negative phenomenon which still remains a common feature to the most diverse cultures and economies in the 21st century. One of the ways in which it is embodied is in wages and salary differences. Thus, this paper aims to identify and analyse the influence of the economic activities and the regional distribution of those same activities on the evolution of the average dissimilarity remuneration of Portuguese workers between 2010 and 2013. The variable under survey is the difference between the average monthly income, and the analysis was made by using the shift-share methodology. The productive structure and regional competitiveness have proven to be decisive in the wage gap.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A inovação como fator impulsionador de novos produtos e serviços: um caso de estudo de startups portuguesas
No full textMestrado APNORA crescente complexidade e competitividade do mercado atual, comprovadas pelos diversos estudos de mercado, obriga as novas empresas a desenvolverem modelos de negócio inovadores e a criar elementos diferenciadores, para se destacarem dos atuais concorrentes, e assim atraírem potenciais consumidores. Uma das entidades, que pelas suas caraterísticas, podem ser consideradas mais frágeis, no mundo do empreendedorismo, são as Startups. Caraterizadas pelo seu alto nível de incerteza (quanto à sua permanência no mercado) e dúvidas quanto ao seu sucesso, ainda em fase prematura, faz delas instituições com extrema vulnerabilidade, a diversas condições externas e adversas. No entanto, o subjetivismo do conceito de inovação, aliado à criatividade que se encontra na base da criação associada a grande parte dos produtos/serviços oferecidos pelas mesmas, torna a criação das Startups bastante mais interessante. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o contexto empresarial de um grupo de Startups e perceber qual a sua perspetiva relativamente à inovação e dinâmica da mesma nestas organizações. A pergunta que se pretende responder é: a criação e desenvolvimento de produtos e serviços é uma resposta a uma necessidade pessoal de quem empreende ou uma necessidade identificada na sociedade em geral? Baseada num guião estruturado, foram realizadas quatro entrevistas a quatro fundadores de Startups diferentes. O estudo revelou que existem várias motivações para a criação de novos produtos, no entanto o espírito empreendedor de quem cria novos produtos também tem uma grande influência nesse processo. Um enquadramento teórico baseado nos conceitos de empreendedorismo, Startups e inovação irá explicar o papel das Startups na economia portuguesa e a sua importância na sociedade (Sarkar, 2014). Complementarmente, a articulação adequada de ambos os conceitos, empreendedorismo e inovação, ajudará a entender o mercado incerto onde as Startups estão inseridas.The growing complexity and competitiveness of the current market, as evidenced by the various market studies, compels new companies to develop innovative business models and to create differentiating elements, to stand out from current competitors, and thus attract potential consumers. One of the entities, which by their characteristics, can be considered more fragile, in the world of entrepreneurship, are Startups. Characterized by their high level of uncertainty (regarding their permanence in the market) and doubts about their success, still in a premature phase, it makes them institutions with extreme vulnerability, to various external and adverse conditions. However, the subjectivism of the concept of innovation, combined with the creativity that is at the basis of creation associated with most of the products / services offered by them, makes the creation of Startups much more interesting. The aim of this study is to analyze the business context of a group of Startups and understand their perspective regarding innovation and dynamics in these organizations. The question to be answered is: is the creation and development of products and services a response to a personal need of the entrepreneur or a need identified in society in general? Based on a structured script, four interviews were conducted with four founders of different Startups. The study revealed that there are several motivations for the creation of new products, however the entrepreneurial spirit of those who create new products also has a great influence on this process. A theoretical framework based on the concepts of entrepreneurship, Startups and innovation will explain the role of Startups in the Portuguese economy and their importance in society (Sarkar, 2014). In addition, the proper articulation of both concepts, entrepreneurship and innovation, will help to understand the uncertain market where Startups are located

Premessa a Per d’Arco Silvio Avalle, «Le forme del canto». Interventi di Lino Leonardi, Pietro G. Beltrami, Maria Sofia Lannutti, Arnaldo Soldani
No full textThis collection of essays on medieval poetic metres, edited by Maria Sofia Lannutti following the arrangement conceived by its author, confirms the importance of d'Arco Silvio Avalle's metrical studies. Key issues are the relationship between metrical structure and music in the texts dating back to the origin of romance literatures, the multi-perspective complexity of the approach, and the exemplarity of the methodology used. © 2019 Societa Editrice il Mulino.

A importância das fontes de inovação
No full textMestrado em IPB-ESTG e ASSOCIAÇÃO DE POLITÉCNICOS DO NORTE (APNOR)A inovação tem vindo a ganhar uma maior importância ao longo dos últimos anos, sendo cada vez
mais uma grande opção veiculada pelas empresas de maneira a aumentar os seus lucros e a sua
afirmação no mercado. Para a realização de um processo de inovação, as pessoas e as
organizações têm-se baseado em perceções intuitivas, sabedoria convencional e conhecimento
técnico-científico. Porém, este conceito cada vez mais importante, levanta também muitas questões
que são importantes para que se consiga realizar um processo de inovação eficaz e eficiente. Assim,
o objetivo deste estudo assenta em analisar o contexto empresarial face à inovação, mais
especificamente no que respeita às fontes de inovação, procurando assim, aumentar o
conhecimento existente em torno da inovação e de que forma ela chega às organizações. A principal
pergunta a que se pretende dar resposta com este estudo é: Qual a importância das fontes de
inovação para as empresas em estudo? As empresas em estudo são o Centro Tecnológico do
Calçado de Portugal, a Drawmechcnc, a EUBRAPTT, a DNMAT, o NERBA, e a Novavet. Para a
realização da investigação construiu-se uma triangulação entre os clientes, a própria organização e
centros de investigação/Informação Simplificada Empresarial. Os dados recolhidos foram obtidos a
partir de um contexto real e a informação irá ser apresentada com recurso a uma metodologia
descritiva qualitativa. Em forma de conclusão, quanto maior for o acesso das empresas às diferentes
fontes de inovação, melhor será a sua capacidade para identificar e desenvolver os momentos mais
atrativos de inovação, sendo que as fontes de inovação são vistas como o percurso mais eficaz para
as empresas desenvolverem o seu processo de inovação. Com a utilização eficiente das fontes de
inovação, as empresas conseguem maiores vantagens competitivas, assim como uma maior
diferenciação no mercado para o qual direcionam a sua atividade.Innovation has gained greater importance over the last few years, becoming increasingly a major
option offered by companies in order to increase their profits and their position in the market. To carry
out an innovation process, people and organizations have relied on intuitive perceptions,
conventional wisdom, and technical-scientific knowledge. However, this increasingly important
concept also raises many questions that are important to achieve an effective and efficient innovation
process. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the business context in relation to
innovation, more specifically with regard to the sources of innovation, thus seeking to increase the
existing knowledge around innovation and how it reaches organizations. The main question we
intend to answer with this study is: How important are the sources of innovation for the companies
under study? The companies under study are Centro Tecnológico do Calçado de Portugal,
Drawmechcnc, EUBRAPTT, DNMAT, NERBA, and Novavet. To carry out the investigation, a
triangulation was built between clients, the organization itself and research centers/Simplified
Business Information. The data collected was obtained from a real context and the information will
be presented using a qualitative descriptive methodology. In conclusion, the greater the access
companies have to different sources of innovation, the better their ability to identify and develop the
most attractive moments of innovation, with sources of innovation being seen as the most effective
route for companies develop their innovation process. With the efficient use of sources of innovation,
companies achieve greater competitive advantages, as well as greater differentiation in the market
to which they direct their activity

Year-Book of the St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia. Faculty of Philosophy. Chronological Bibliography 1981-2010
No full textWhen a specialized periodical publication representing a professional community comes out, it is an indication for the authority of the institution. In this sense the Year-book of the St Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, its oldest periodical publication, coming out with this logo, calls for respect both with its one hundred years history as well as with the quality of the published material. The beginnings were laid in 1905, today the Year-book offers a complex system of the editions of the faculties of the University of Sofia and the specialties and chairs at them.
The teaching of philosophy at the University of Sofia goes back to its very foundation in 1888. In 1950 the Faculty of Philosophy and History was established with three chairs: a chair of philosophy, a chair of history and paedagogics. Since 1972 the chair of History became a Faculty of History, and since 1986 the chair of Paedagogics became a Faculty in its own right, beyond the Faculty of Philosophy. Within the period between 1976 to the 90s of the 20th century the Philosophical faculty assumed its present day shape, providing possibilities for training with a BA degree and MA degree as well as a PhD course in the following principal specialties:
Philosophy 1888
Psychology 1972
Sociology 1976
Political science 1986
Culturology 1991
Library-Information Science 1993
Public administration 1997
European studies 1998
Chair of Rhetorics - 1991 offers optional courses for all specialties of the University as well as training for a MA.
Lecturers and post-graduate student at the Faculty of Philosophy can publish their studies, articles and analyses in the authoritative Year-book of the University of Sofia, Faculty of Philosophy. Over the years its structure has evolved. Together with ‘books’ on philosophy and paedagogics, the new specialties began to bring out ‘books” of their own: namely in Psychology, Sociology, Library-Information Sciences and European studies.
The analytical bibliography of the Year-book of the St.Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Faculty of Philosophy is a continuation of the earlier analytical Year-book of the St.Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, for the 1976-1980 , however the material included here is only from the Year-book of the Faculty of Philosophy. It comes out in separate volumes, following a unified numeration. The period included 1981-2010 comprises vol. 74 - 100.
Books from specialties, which emerged over the 1984-2010 period, are represented in separate series: Book Philosophy, Book Psychology, Book Sociology, Book Library-Information Science, Book European studies. This order is in line with the successive creation of the respective specialties. Book Paedagogics – vol.75 and 76 of the Chair of Paedagogics, vol. 82 and vol. 83 of the Chair in Socio-Political Systems, and vol. 82, vol. 83-84 and 86 of the Problem Research Laboratory on Political Behavior. With a view to give exhaustive information, these books have been presented analytically, regardless the fact that these sections are no longer part of the Faculty of Philosophy, or do not exist separately. The presumption is that previously they were part of its structure.
Within each Book (series) materials are presented chronologically, according to volume. The high academic and professional level of the Year-book of the University of Sofia, Faculty of Philosophy is maintained by an authoritative editorial board for the respective book. It has been a long practice to cite reviewers for each published material. Access to information through the inclusion of additional elements is streamlined in the publication of new specialty ‘Books’. In vol.1 of the specialty European studies mandatory requirements to the author of publications are given, with special emphasis in the rules of citation. Here for the first time, together with a summary in English, given are key-words, drawn from the contents of each publication. A very useful thematic index has been added to vol. 1 of the specialty Library-Information Sciences.
The bibliographical description of the material, published in the Year-book follows the common framework of Bulgarian standard for analytical description. At the same time a substantial difference in this analytical bibliography of the Year-book of the University of Sofia, Faculty of Philosophy from analytical bibliographies up to 1980 is the subject analysis of every publication. The practice of the Year-book of the Faculty of Philosophy at the beginning of the 80s was to present the content of each publication with extended summaries in Russian and English and resumes in English, French, or German. From the 90s the resumes were dropped and only the extended summaries remained, and for the separate Books of the specialties and the separate years they were in Russian and English, and recently only in English. In order to avoid duplication with the summaries of the Year-book, the approach in the bibliography is different. Here it is based on the structure, suggested by the authors themselves. The nature of publications in the Year-book is good ground in this respect. Authors with an established name are those who publish here, with their established style and views on the emphasis in their own papers. Proof of this is the fact that almost every publication has its own internal structure, worked out by the author. It is felt in the respective headings of each section, in many instances with additional subsections, subtitles, and different pagination. The presentation of the content from the point of view of the author is the objective solution for so specific and varied subject matter as publications in the various Books of the Year-book. The style of the authors is preserved in the structure they have chosen for each publication and their preference connected with the names and numbering of the sections. In this way presentation of the contents of publications authentically represents the author’s point of view, concerning his own text.
Publications included in each book have a numeration of their own, beginning with No 1. Each of the books of the Year-book has its own index of author’s names. In this way, authors who have published their works in the respective Book of the Year-book can be noted. Almost everywhere the names of all persons mentioned in the various texts are given in full and as a rule citation is done with family names and initials.
A common alphabetical index has also been compiled, unifying authors and persons with publications from all Books of the Year-book. In this way the total list of publications of lecturers from the Faculty of Philosophy, within the last 30 years is presented. After each name the Book and Number where the respective publication is to be found is given.
Besides a printed edition the Year-book of the University of the University of Sofia has beep prepared as an electronic resource. In this way it has become part of a data-base with material of the Year-books of the respective Faculties, supported by the University Library.
The analytical bibliography of the Year-book of the University of Sofia, Faculty of Philosophy 1981-2010 is a continuation of an year long tradition, presenting the staff of the Faculty of Philosophy before the public through their publications and at the same time allowing students, faculty and specialists effective academic work and research with it

Why is unemployment so high in Bulgaria?
No full textThe author seeks to determine the main factors behind poor labor market outcomes in Bulgaria. Unemployment in Bulgaria is high and of long duration. The accumulation of the unemployment stock has been caused by relatively high inflows into unemployment coupled with limited outflows. These features of the Bulgarian labor market are typical of other transition economies in Central Europe and exploring their sources is of broad interest. The author focuses on determinants of and constraints to job creation. He uses data on job creation and job destruction from a survey of employment in all registered firms. He finds that the source of large inflows into unemployment is intensive enterprise restructuring associated with a high pace of job reallocation. However, job creation falls short of job destruction. Three main factors account for the limited job creation and hiring, and thus for low outflows from unemployment: a) The unfriendly business environment, reflected by a low rate of new firm formation, and a relatively small, small and medium enterprise sector. b) Labor market rigidities, including excessive hiring and firing costs. c) Skill and spatial mismatches brought about by enterprise restructuring, as well as low skills and marginalization of the long-term unemployed who cannot successfully compete for new jobs. The author recommends a three pronged strategy to improve labor market performance: (1) removing bureaucratic constraints to entry and expansion of firms; (2) enhancing labor market flexibility through lowering hiring and firing costs; and (3) improving the educational system so as to equip workers with broad and portable skills.Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Policies,Labor Markets,Public Health Promotion,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Markets,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Standards,Banks&Banking Reform
