    No full text
    O Berrão de Ramilo é uma peça de estatuária descoberta recentemente no decurso de lavouras no termo da freguesia de Duas Igrejas, no local denominado Ramilo, concelho de Miranda do Douro. Trata-se de um achado de grande relevo no contexto deste tipo de estatuária, representando um javali macho, e ostentando um conjunto de pormenores escultóricos que contribuem para a caracterização das tipologias de representação das estátuas de berrões provenientes desta região.The statue of wild boar from Ramilo, now presented, was recently discovered in the course of agricultural work within the boundaries of the Duas Igrejas parish, Miranda do Douro Council, in a property named Ramilo. This is an important find amongst the existing statues of the kind, as it represents a male wild boar depicted with a number of sculpted details that altogether add to the definition of the typologies of representation of the boar statues so far found in this region

    A internacionalização de empresas portuguesas : estudo de caso Parfois – Barata & Ramilo S.A.

    No full text
    O objectivo deste trabalho é analisar a expansão internacional da empresa portuguesa Barata & Ramilo S.A, mais conhecida internacionalmente pela sua insígnia francesa Parfois. A pesquisa para este trabalho incluiu o enquadramento teórico contemporâneo sobre a internacionalização das empresas e o estudo de caso como metodologia de investigação. As principais conclusões indicam que não é possível identificar uma linearidade entre a revisão da literatura e a expansão internacional da Parfois, que possui contornos muito próprios. No caso da empresa Barata & Ramilo S.A este processo de internacionalização distinto deu frutos e fez com que a empresa tivesse uma expansão internacional rápida, estando actualmente presente em 51 países.The purpose of this work is to analyze the international expansion of the Portuguese company Barata & Ramilo SA, best known internationally for its French insignia Parfois. The research for this work included the contemporary theoretical framework on the internationalization of companies and the case study as a research method. The main findings indicate that it is not possible to identify linearity between the literature review and the international expansion of Parfois, which has very distinctive outlines. In the case of Barata & Ramilo SA this distinct process of internationalization paid off and therefore the company had a rapid international expansion, being now present in 51 countries

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    O crescimento da Internet tem alterado o conceito de comunicação na sociedade, tornando-a mais rápida e alargada a qualquer lugar no mundo. Proporciona disponibilidade abundante de dados e tem cada vez mais utilizadores. As redes sociais, por seu lado, proporcionaram o aparecimento de comunidades virtuais entre indivíduos que partilham interesses comuns. A partilha de experiências entre indivíduos conhecidos tem sido valorizada desde sempre, e é caracterizada pela confiança nas informações dadas. Estes fatores têm contribuído positivamente para uma nova forma de abordar o turismo, aumentando o suporte de informações turísticas disponíveis online que ajudam os turistas na escolha de destinos para férias e planeamento de rotas e experiências. Neste contexto foi desenvolvida esta dissertação, onde foi proposto e implementado um Sistema de Informação Geográfica no formato de rede social. A implementação do projeto baseia-se numa aplicação Android onde é possível a partilha de dados com componente geográfica entre amigos. Uma aplicação onde é apresentado um mapa que permite a criação e consulta de marcadores. Cada marcador é composto por comentários e fotografias partilhadas pelos utilizadores da aplicação, e a sua visualização é gerida através da privacidade atribuída ao marcador. Após a implementação foi elaborado um questionário para testar a aplicação e reunir resultados que foram analisados.The growth of the Internet has changed the concept of communication in present days, making it faster and more widespread anywhere in the world. It provides abundant availability of data and has gained more and more users. Social networks have created the conditions for emergence of virtual communities between persons who share common interests or personal acquaintance. The sharing of experiences between related persons has always been valued, and is characterized by the reliability of the information given. These factors have contributed positively to a new attitude towards tourism, by increasing the support of touristic information available online that helps tourists choosing holiday destinations. In this context, this dissertation was developed, where a Geographic Information System in a social network format was designed and implemented. The project implementation consists of an Android application where it is possible to share geographic data related to tourism and leisure between friends. An application where a map is presented that allows the creation and query of markers. Each marker is associated with comments and photos shared by the users of the application, and their visibility depends on the privacy assigned to the marker. A questionnaire was designed to evaluate the application and gather results that were analyzed
