Learning Management Systems (LMS) are used all over Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and the need to know and understand its adoption and usage arises. However, there is a lack of information about how LMSs are being used, which are the most adopted, whether there is a country adoption standard and which countries use more LMSs. A research team is developing a project that tries to fill this lack of information and provide the needed answers. With this purpose, on a first phase, it a survey was taken place. The results of this survey are presented in this paper. Another purpose of this paper is to disseminate the ongoing project.

There has been a growing interest in research on performance measurement and management practices, which seems to reflect researchers’ response to calls for the need to increase the relevance of management accounting research. However, despite the development of the new public management literature, studies involving public sector organizations are relatively small compared to those involving business organizations and extremely limited when it comes to public primary health care organizations. Yet, the economic significance of public health care organizations in the economy of developed countries and the criticisms these organizations regularly face from the public suggests there is a need for research. This is particularly true in the case of research that may lead to improvement in performance measurement and management practices and ultimately to improvements in the way health care organizations use their limited resources in the provision of services to the communities. This study reports on a field study involving three public primary health care organisations. The evidence obtained from interviews and archival data suggests a performance management practices in these institutions lacked consistency and coherence, potentially leading to decreased performance. Hierarchical controls seemed to be very weak and accountability limited, leading to a lack of direction, low motivation and, in some circumstances to insufficient managerial abilities and skills. Also, the performance management systems revealed a number of weaknesses, which suggests that there are various opportunities for improvement in performance in the studied organisations.

In the last years there has been a huge growth and consolidation of the Data Mining field. Some efforts are being done that seek the establishment of standards in the area. Included on these efforts there can be enumerated SEMMA and CRISP-DM. Both grow as industrial standards and define a set of sequential steps that pretends to guide the implementation of data mining applications. The question of the existence of substantial differences between them and the traditional KDD process arose. In this paper, is pretended to establish a parallel between these and the KDD process as well as an understanding of the similarities between them.

O uso crescente da Internet (World Wide Web), e das suas potencialidades tecnológicas têm contribuído para uma proliferação de ambientes de ensino/aprendizagem, baseados em Tecnologia. A comunidade científica reúne consenso quanto às vantagens da reutilização de conteúdos de aprendizagem e à adopção de standards com vista à interoperabilidade entre conteúdos/objectos partilháveis e plataformas. Este artigo tem como objectivo reflectir sobre o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de ensino combinada de aprendizagem com recurso a Learning Objects, no âmbito do trabalho de doutoramento.

Within a country-size asymmetric monetary union, idiosyncratic shocks and national fiscal stabilization policies cause asymmetric cross-border effects. These effects are a source of strategic interactions between noncoordinated fiscal and monetary policies: on the one hand, due to larger externalities imposed on the union, large countries face less incentives to develop free-riding fiscal policies; on the other hand, a larger strategic position vis-à-vis the central bank incentives the use of fiscal policy to, deliberately, influence monetary policy. Additionally, the existence of non-distortionary government financing may also shape policy interactions. As a result, optimal policy regimes may diverge not only across the union members, but also between the latter and the monetary union. In a two-country micro-founded New-Keynesian model for a monetary union, we consider two fiscal policy scenarios: (i) lump-sum taxes are raised to fully finance the government budget and (ii) lump-sum taxes do not ensure balanced budgets in each period; therefore, fiscal and monetary policies are expected to impinge on debt sustainability. For several degrees of country-size asymmetry, we compute optimal discretionary and dynamic non-cooperative policy games and compare their stabilization performance using a union-wide welfare measure. We also assess whether these outcomes could be improved, for the monetary union, through institutional policy arrangements. We find that, in the presence of government indebtedness, monetary policy optimally deviates from macroeconomic to debt stabilization. We also find that policy cooperation is always welfare increasing for the monetary union as a whole; however, indebted large countries may strongly oppose to this arrangement in favour of fiscal leadership. In this case, delegation of monetary policy to a conservative central bank proves to be fruitful to improve the union’s welfare.

O presente estudo, inserido no projecto final do Mestrado em Tradução e Interpretação Especializadas, do Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto, intitulado “A profissão de Guia – Intérprete nas Caves de Vinho do Porto”, visa ser um modesto contributo para a análise e compreensão duma profissão que, tendo vindo, sobretudo nas últimas décadas, a ganhar um relevo crescente, é não raras vezes esquecida e social e economicamente votada a um certo menosprezo. De facto, se é verdade que estatisticamente o número de visitantes das Caves do Vinho do Porto tem aumentado de forma exponencial, sendo estimado em cerca de 700 mil visitantes por ano, e se, paralelamente, tem também aumentado o número de Guias -Intérpretes contratados para responder às exigências crescentes do mercado, a profissão continua a ser desconhecida e pouco considerada socialmente. A formação académica da autora, licenciada em Tradução e Interpretação Especializadas pelo ISCAP e a frequentar o referido Mestrado, bem como a sua situação profissional, integrando, desde 2008, a empresa Croft, como Guia-Intérprete, justificam a escolha do tema. O gosto pela profissão que se iniciou com a frequência da disciplina de Interpretação de Acompanhamento, uma das novas unidades curriculares que integram o Mestrado, bem como o facto de se tratar de um tema ainda inexplorado pelos estudantes de Tradução e Interpretação Especializadas do Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto, consolidaram ainda mais a ideia de que uma pesquisa e um estudo sobre esta profissão poderia revelar-se, de facto, num contributo importante. Quando ainda estava a frequentar as aulas de Mestrado, decidi enviar um curriculum vitae para as caves de vinho do Porto porque, para além de ser licenciada em Tradução e Interpretação e ter um bom conhecimento linguístico, pensei, na altura, que valeria a pena apostar num local turístico onde pudesse de facto praticar as línguas que domino, bem como apostar na interacção cultural, quanto mais não fosse para obter experiência profissional. No entanto, passados alguns meses no exercício da profissão, pude realmente constatar que, apesar do gosto em trabalhar como Guia Intérprete, vi nascer em mim uma paixão pela profissão e também pelo local em si: as Caves de Vinho do Porto.
