Authors: Ferreira, Henriette da Conceição de Sousa
Abstract: O presente trabalho aborda a temática dos estudos sobre a análise espacial&#xD;
dos resultados eleitorais em Portugal.&#xD;
Os resultados eleitorais quer ao nível das eleições legislativas quer das&#xD;
autárquicas exibem tendências geográficas onde a influência de vários factores&#xD;
parece ser evidente.&#xD;
A abordagem analítica dos resultados eleitorais de um país sugere que se&#xD;
tenham em conta variados efeitos contextuais, nomeadamente, as diferenças&#xD;
etárias nas diversas regiões, diferenças sócio-culturais da população, assim&#xD;
como o isolamento das populações.&#xD;
Torna-se, deste modo, importante ter em consideração as variações espaciais&#xD;
na modelação de fenómenos de cariz eleitoral.&#xD;
Este estudo questiona a existência de variações espaciais na relação entre os&#xD;
resultados eleitorais (eleições legislativas referentes ao ano de 2005) dos cinco&#xD;
principais partidos políticos Portugueses, (PSD, CDS, BE,PCP,PS) centrandose&#xD;
nas diferenças entre Municípios de Portugal Continental e apresenta, como&#xD;
principais objectivos:&#xD;
1. Demonstrar a importância da utilização de técnicas estatísticas espaciais&#xD;
(Modelos Geographically Weighted Regression) como melhoria dos&#xD;
Modelos de Regressão tradicionais (OLS) na modelação de fenómenos&#xD;
baseados em resultados eleitorais.&#xD;
2. Identificar tendências espaciais partidárias, ao nível dos municípios de&#xD;
Portugal Continental, relacionando, para cada partido, os resultados num&#xD;
determinado município e o total de votantes nesse mesmo município.&#xD;
3. Reconhecer a importância da variação etária, do número de votos em&#xD;
branco e da constituição de cada município (relativamente ao número de&#xD;
freguesias que o compõem) como determinantes dos resultados&#xD;
eleitorais dos diferentes partidos políticos nas zonas geográficas em&#xD;
estudo.

      <description>Title: Learning in higher education: strategies to overcome challenges faced by adult students – lessons drawn from two case studies in Portugal
Authors: Correia, Ana Maria R.; Sarmento, A.
Abstract: The development of a knowledge-based society needs a technological infrastructure and a&#xD;
workforce with the necessary knowledge and competences, supported by a well-structured initial&#xD;
education and a continuous learning program, available to all citizens, including those who did&#xD;
not have the opportunity to attend Higher Education (HE) when they were younger. We recognize&#xD;
that these students may be rich in experience but they also have some difficulties in adapting to&#xD;
the pedagogical approaches of learning and teaching. Furthermore, their attitudes and problems&#xD;
are not necessarily the same as those of traditional students but they are still expected to fit into&#xD;
educational institutions designed for younger students. The project LIHE – Learning in Higher&#xD;
Education aimed to improve the learning experience and environment of adults, particularly&#xD;
non-traditional adults as well as to promote lifelong learning in HE, within a European dimension.&#xD;
In this paper we will present this project together with some of the results.

      <description>Title: Innovation through virtual communities of practice: motivations and constraints in the knowledge-creation process
Authors: Correia, Ana Maria R.; Mesquita, A.; Paulos, A.
Abstract: Communities of Practice(CoP) are places which&#xD;
provide a sound basis for organizational learning, enabling knowledge&#xD;
creation and acquisition,thereby improving organizational performance, leveraging innovation and consequently increasing competitiveness. Virtual Communities of Practice (VCoP) can perform a central role&#xD;
in promoting communication and collaboration&#xD;
between members who are dispersed in both&#xD;
time and space. The ongoing case study, described here, aims to identify both&#xD;
the motivations and the constraints that members of an organization experience&#xD;
when taking part in the knowledge creating&#xD;
and sharing processes of the VCoP to which they belong. Based on a literature review, we have identified several factors that&#xD;
influence such processes; they are used to analyze the results of interviews&#xD;
carried out in this study of three multinationals.
