O Nível de literacia entre os estudantes do ensino superior em Portugal

A literacia financeira é um tópico que tem ganho acuidade no passado recente, principalmente após a crise financeira global. O presente trabalho move-se entre dois objectivos essenciais: 1) mensurar o nível de literacia financeira dos jovens que frequentam o ensino superior em Portugal; 2) averiguar quais são os determinantes que explicam o nível de literacia financeira apurado. Em termos metodológicos, optou-se pela elaboração de um inquérito por questionário, enviado para as instituições de ensino superior nacionais, composto por questões que procuravam estabelecer o perfil, a experiência financeira e os conhecimentos financeiros dos inquiridos. Foram obtidas 550 respostas, que permitiram evidenciar o reduzido nível de literacia financeira da amostra, ao mesmo tempo que a idade e o nível de rendimento do agregado familiar variam positivamente com o nível de conhecimento financeiro dos inquiridos. Observou-se ainda que os indivíduos com formação na área das ciências empresariais tendem a revelar um nível mais elevado de conhecimento financeiro, o mesmo sucedendo com os inquiridos do género feminino, sendo que este último resultado contraria o entendimento presente na literatura.

The Rasikajy civilization in northeast Madagascar: a pre-European Chinese community?

Archaeological excavations in northern Madagascar during the first half of the 20th century have revealed the presence of a former prosperous civilisation known as the Rasikajy civilisation. Little is known about the origin of this civilisation and how and when they first arrived in Madagascar. The most striking evidence for the Rasikajy civilisation comes from excavations at a necropolis in Vohemar located along the northeast coast, where more than 600 tombs containing spectacular objects were unearthed in the 1940s (Vernier & Millot 1971). The findings in the tombs included, amongst others, Chinese ceramics, silver and gold jewellery, iron weapons, glassware, bronze mirrors and chlorite-schist objects (ibid.). The latter objects were produced from chlorite schist mined at quarries in northern and eastern Madagascar and there is evidence that jewellery and iron objects were also produced by the Rasikajy from locally available raw material. Chlorite-schist objects have not only been found in coastal sites in Madagascar, but also in the Comores and eastern Africa suggesting an active engagement of the Rasikajy in western Indian Ocean trade. Our re-evaluation of published literature on archaeological sites in northern Madagascar indicates that the majority of Chinese ceramics found in the tombs at Vohemar dates from the 15th and first half of the 16th century with some dating back to the 14th century or earlier. Our comparative analysis of burial objects at Vohemar shows that locally produced chlorite-schist tripod vessels exhibit remarkable resemblances to ancient Chinese bronze ritual tripod vessels. The objects encountered in the tombs and their positions with respect to the body indicate that the Rasikajy practiced burial rites similar to those practised in the past in China. Our re-evaluation of the literature suggests that communities with Chinese roots were present in northeastern Madagascar prior to the arrival of the first Europeans in 1500 and participated in the Indian Ocean trade network. The demise of the Rasikajy civilisation seems to have occurred in the second half of the 16th century when production of chlorite-schist objects ceased. It is still unclear why this occurred.
