Nowadays, the Portuguese insurance industry operates in a market with a much more aggressive structure than a few decades ago. Markets and the economy have become globalised since the last decade of the 20th century. Market forces have gradually shifted power is now mainly on the demand side. In order to meet the new requirements, the insurance industry must develop a strong strategic ability to respond to constant changes of the new international economic order.One of the basic aspects of this strategic development will focus on the ability to predict the future. We introduce the subject by briefly describing the sector, its organisational structure in the Portuguese market, and challenges arising from the development of the European Union. We then analyse the economic and financial structure of the sector. From this point of view, we aim at the possibility of designing models that could explain the demand for insurance, claims and technical reserves evolution. Such models, (even if based on the past), would resolve, at least partly, one of the greatest difficulties experienced by insurance companies when estimating the budget. Thus, we examine the existence of variables that explain the previous points, which are capable of forming a basis for designing models that are simple but efficient, and can be used for strategic planning.

Communities of Practice are places which provide a sound basis for organizational learning, enabling knowledge creation and acquisition thus improving organizational performance, leveraging innovation and consequently increasing competitively. Virtual Communities of Practice (VCoPs) can perform a central role in promoting communication and collaboration between members who are dispersed in both time and space. The ongoing case study, described here, aims to identify both the motivations and the constraints that members of an organization experience when taking part in the knowledge creating processes of the VCoPs to which they belong. Based on a literature review, we have identified several factors that influence such processes; they will be used to analyse the results of interviews carried out with the leaders of VCoPs in four multinationals. As future work, a questionnaire will be developed and administered to the other members of these VCoPs

The deposition of highly oriented a-axis CrO(2) films onto Al(2)O(3)(0001) by atmospheric pressure (AP)CVD at temperatures as low as 330 C is reported. Deposition rates strongly depend on the substrate temperature, whereas for film surface microstructures the dependence is mainly on film thickness. For the experimental conditions used in this work, CrO(2) growth kinetics are dominated by a surface reaction mechanism with an apparent activation energy of (121.0 +/- 4.3) kJ mol(-1). The magnitude and temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization, up to room temperature, is consistent with bulk measurements.

The subject matter of this book is about piano methodology, including technical, musical, artistic, ethical and philosophical issues and reflections. The purpose of this work is to share a personal professional experience insight in the field of piano performance. This text assumes a certain continuity to the major contributions of artists like Ludwig Deppe, Tobias Matthay, Grigory Kogan, Heinrich Neuhaus and George Kochevitsky. At the same time, it tries to integrate and complement this selected literature, bringing new ideas and hints to specific professional issues.

A escola o centro de convergncia que justifica e fundamenta os recursos alocados ao sistema educativo. Durante o normal funcionamento das escolas, as condies de segurana, salubridade dos edifcios e equipamentos devem ser previstas e mantidas para garantir a salvaguarda da sade e bem-estar dos seus ocupantes. A responsabilidade sobre estas questes encontra-se transferida para os rgos de Gesto dos estabelecimentos educativos. Neste mbito efectuou-se um estudo que objectivou caracterizar a organizao e a gesto escolar, no contexto da segurana, higiene e sade; conhecer a forma da organizao e da gesto da emergncia nos estabelecimentos de ensino e o grau de satisfao dos gestores escolares relativamente aspectos relacionados com a Segurana, Higiene e Sade. Neste sentido, foi aplicado um inqurito por questionrio on-line, dirigido aos directores dos agrupamentos de escolas e escolas nicas da Regio Norte de Portugal. Na generalidade os resultados obtidos demonstraram que ao nvel da organizao e gesto da emergncia evidenciada alguma preocupao, constatando-se no entanto, que nem todas as escolas possuam delegado de segurana, algumas no possuem plano de segurana, apenas metade evidenciou a existncia de projectos educativos em reas relacionadas com a temtica e no existe ainda uma participao efectiva no seio escolar por parte da comunidade. Os gestores escolares, relativamente ao grau de satisfao, referiram as condies das infra-estruturas e estado de conservao dos estabelecimentos escolares, como factores de maior descontentamento. Percepcionou-se que a gesto escolar centrada nos problemas do quotidiano, no existindo uma planificao ou um programa legitimado de segurana, higiene e sade a longo prazo. A anlise actuao do gestor escolar face segurana e higiene, no pode efectuar-se alheia e separadamente do actual regime de autonomia, administrao e gesto dos estabelecimentos pblicos da educao pr-escolar e dos ensinos bsico e secundrio, porque o desempenho dos diferentes actores no processo educativo por si condicionada. Cabe ao gestor escolar, na figura do Director(a) consagrar a segurana, higiene e sade integradas na dinmica escolar, promovendo um ambiente escolar mais saudvel e seguro.

O estgio desenvolvido na empresa de construo Manuel da Graa Peixito, incidiu sobre Direco e Gesto de Obra na execuo de um projecto de reconverso urbanstica a aplicar na AUGI 42 localizada no Casal do Sapo em Sesimbra. As reas urbanas de gnese ilegal, denominadas de AUGI, surgiram no inicio da dcada de 60, como um fenmeno que surgiu de forma a colmatar a carncia no parque habitacional das periferias das grandes reas metropolitanas do territrio nacional. O ambiente urbano gerado pela existncia das AUGI, muitas vezes de propores de grande dimenso, evidencia inmeras carncias e problemas a nveis sociais, econmicos, urbansticos e legais. A gesto de obra uma actividade essencial na execuo da obra e no planeamento de todas as tarefas a realizar com o melhor tratamento econmico e financeiro. A direco de obra tem como principais funes a seleco de recursos humanos, escolha e montagem dos rgos de apoio logstico, a aquisio atempada e negociao de materiais. O Gestor e Director de Obra colocado num ciclo operacional de optimizao de recursos e eficincias, em que as duas funes, gesto e direco de obra, so complementares e a abordagem do contexto interactivo do controlo da obra, em termos da produo, da gesto econmica e financeira, da gesto do tempo, do cumprimento das normas de sade e segurana no trabalho e no assegurar da qualidade, so claramente identificadas, enquanto veculo indispensvel do cumprimento do contrato de empreitada. O processo de reconverso urbanstica aplicado na AUGI 42 teve como estrutura de proposta a seguinte base: primeiro na recolha de dados relativo AUGI 42 e na definio de um planeamento do faseamento numa estratgia de execuo da empreitada; segundo na constituio e caracterizao da execuo de variadas infra-estruturas (rede de drenagem de esgotos domsticos e pluviais, rede de abastecimento de guas, rede de telecomunicaes, rede elctrica, rede de gs, rede viria e arranjos de espaos exteriores). Este processo e consequente proposta surgem como um contributo fundamental na melhoria da qualidade de vida das populaes, como tambm da funcionalidade do sistema urbano que compe as AUGI.

The Bologna Process aimed to build a European Higher Education Area promoting student's mobility. The adoption of Bologna Declaration directives requires a self management distributed approach to deal with student's mobility, allowing frequent updates in institutions rules or legislation. This paper suggests a computational system architecture, which follows a social network design. A set of structured annotations is proposed in order to organize the user's information. For instance, when the user is a student its annotations are organized into an academic record. The academic record data is used to discover interests, namely mobility interests, among students that belongs the academic network. These ideas have been applied into a demonstrator that includes a mobility simulator to compare and show the student's academic evolution.

The Bologna Process aimed to build a European Higher Education Area with the objective of promoting students mobility. The adoption of Bologna Declaration directives requires a decentralized approach that accelerates student's mobility, based on frequently updated legislation. This paper proposes a student personal system to manage student's academic information. This system is supported by a flexible model that integrates, for instance, knowledge about the student attended courses or about a course that the student wishes to apply. Essentially, this model holds a (i) Student's Academic Record with skills acquired in academic course units, professional experience or training and an (ii) Individual Studies Plan, which places the student in a particular (iii) Course Plan setting the curricular structure that the student wishes to apply.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to promote qualitative methodology within the scientific community of management. The specific objective is oriented to propose an empirical research process based on case study method. This is to ensure rigor in the empirical research process, that future research may follow a similar procedure to that is proposed. Design/methodology/approach: Following a qualitative methodological approach, we propose a research process that develops according to four phases, each with several stages. This study analyses the preparatory and field work phases and their stages. Findings: The paper shows the influence that case studies have on qualitative empirical research process in management. Originality/value:. Case study method assumes an important role within qualitative research by allowing for the study and analysis of certain types of phenomena that occur inside organisations, and in respect of which quantitative studies cannot provide an answer.

Processes are a central entity in enterprise collaboration. Collaborative processes need to be executed and coordinated in a distributed Computational platform where computers are connected through heterogeneous networks and systems. Life cycle management of such collaborative processes requires a framework able to handle their diversity based on different computational and communication requirements. This paper proposes a rational for such framework, points out key requirements and proposes it strategy for a supporting technological infrastructure. Beyond the portability of collaborative process definitions among different technological bindings, a framework to handle different life cycle phases of those definitions is presented and discussed.

Nos ltimos vinte e cinco anos o tema da autonomia e da administrao e gesto escolar tem ocupado um lugar relevante na agenda poltica dos sucessivos Governos da Repblica e na preocupao dos diferentes parceiros educativos. Rara tem sido a maioria poltica que resiste a dar o seu contributo sobre esta matria, com o objetivo sempre confesso de outorgar maior autonomia s escolas. No enquadramento terico da nossa investigao comeamos por abordar a emergncia do conceito de autonomia, nas suas diferentes dimenses e nos seus distintos significados. No esquecemos tambm a analise das questes relacionadas com a problemtica, cada vez mais atual da regulao mltipla. Analisamos de seguida a evoluo da legislao portuguesa, operada a partir da publicao da Lei de Bases do Sistema Educativo com especial destaque s propostas de configurao dos rgos de Direo e de Gesto das escolas e das competncias atribudas a cada um deles produzido pela CRSE e pelos decretos-leis 43/89, 172/91, 115-A/98 e 75/2008. A investigao emprica teve como objeto de anlise dois agrupamentos localizados em concelhos distintos da rea Metropolitana de Lisboa, e procurou determinar se o conselho geral de cada uma dessas unidades orgnicas, assume na totalidade as competncias que lhe so conferidas pelo quadro legislativo em vigor, e nessa medida como se articula com os outros rgos da direo no processo de tomada de deciso. Simultaneamente fizemos o contraponto com a imagem que os intervenientes na gesto intermdia de cada um dos agrupamentos construram sobre o seu conselho geral e das relaes de poder que se estabelecem no interior de cada uma das organizaes. Para corresponder aos pressupostos da nossa investigao entrevistaram-se os diretores e os presidentes dos conselhos gerais e facultmos questionrios aos docentes que desempenhavam cargos nos dois agrupamentos. Conclumos, em funo do que pudemos analisar, que embora o conselho geral veja o seu papel na organizao da escola formalmente reconhecido no consegue desempenhar na totalidade as funes que lhe so incumbidas, j que defronta o poder real do diretor e o poder oculto do conselho pedaggico, encontrando dificuldades em libertar-se do reino das sombras.
