HRM higher education in Europe

Higher education has earned in the recent years an increasing attention in Europe. European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is being developed, a three-cycle qualifications structure is formally in place, the principles of quality assurance are agreed, and a range of mobility instruments is being created. A European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is established (2008), and national qualifications frameworks in Europe should be all be published this year. In the HRM field, higher education is remaining largely unexamined. It is undertheorised and with lack of empirical research, especially if we consider the European reality. With the exception of Brewster et al. (2000) and Boxall et al. (2007), all the research published on the specific HRM higher education field seems to be American (Barber, 1999; Chadwick, 2005; Hayton et al.,2005; Kaufman, 1996, 1999; Langbert, 2005, 2000; Sincoff & Owen, 2004; Van Eyden et al., 1997; Wimbush 2008). This study analyses HRM higher education in Europe with the aim to identify the current trends of European HRM academic qualifications system. In order to provide strategic indicators on the subject, research was carried out in 14 European countries. The sample was constituted by the three cycles defined in Bergen (bachelor, master and PhD) and the primary information source was the Portal on Learning Opportunities throughout the European Space promoted by the European Commission (PLOTEUS). Within a qualitative methodology, qualifications’ structures, approaches, and competencies are explored as main analytical categories.

Dicionários e estudos linguísticos do português medieval. Um projecto de equipa

O tema destes Encontros Literdisciplinares da FCSH-UNL - A Ciência na Universidade - sugere que seja feito o enquadramento, embora muito resumidamente, da investigação que vou apresentar na unidade de investigação em que vem sendo desenvolvida - o Centro de Lingüística da Universidade Nova de Lisboa - CLUNL. A entrada da Lingüística na Universidade Nova tem uma história quase tão longa como a própria instituição, e o actual Centro de Lingüística resulta da restruturação recente do Centro de Estudos Comparados de Línguas e Literaturas Modemas, criado por decisão do Senado da Universidade com o apoio da então Junta Nacional de Investigação Científica e Tecnológica - JNICT, pouco tempo apôs a criação, em 1977, da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa. No seu início, pretendia-se que o Centro reunisse a investigação literária e lingüística dos docentes do Departamento de Línguas e Literaturas Modemas existente na altura, o qual reunia as línguas românicas e germânicas, as literaturas e a lingüística. Porém, do mesmo modo que o Departamento se dividiu em cinco, do Centro foram saindo vários grupos ao longo dos anos, até que, há apenas um ano, se concretizou a separação do gmpo de Lingüística do gmpo que restava das Literaturas, dando origem ao Centro de Lingüística e a dois outros Centros de Literatura, um de Estudos Anglo-Portugueses e o outro de Estudos Portugueses.

Public funding of higher education: who gains, who loses?

This paper analyses the effects of public funding of higher education on the welfare of the different agents. It takes into account the hierarchical nature of the educational system and also the fact that parents always have the possibility to complement basic public education with private expenditures in individual tutoring. It is obtained that although public funding implies a larger access to higher education it is always the case that some of the agents that gain access lose in welfare terms. Moreover, it is shown that the marginal agent to access university would always prefer a pure private funding system. Thus, when studying the effects of public funding of higher education, we can not identify gaining access to University with an increase in welfare. Finally, I consider a funding system where only those that send their o¤spring to university support the funding of higher education.

Education in primary school as a strategy to control dengue

The proliferation of Aedes aegypti, a species of mosquito that is the vector of the dengue pathogen, is being augmented by the population's lack of care in allowing the formation of larval habitats. One form of controlling dengue is the distribution of information on the mosquito to improve awareness and to provide the means necessary for the elimination of its reproductive habitats. To evaluate a teaching method concerning the vector and dengue, students from the 5th and 6th years of primary education were compared before and after didactic intervention with a group of control students. The students who received intervention were more successful in identifying the stages of the cycle, biological and morphological characteristics of the adult insect and the importance of the mosquito in health issues. The didactic intervention was successful in developing knowledge leading to increased awareness of the importance of preventative measures that should be taken against the vector and the disease.
