- Entre o Claustro e o Palácio : D. Fr. Inácio de São Caetano, carmelita descalço : 1718-1788Publication . Pereira, Francisco Maria Braguês Gomes; Abreu, Adélio Fernando de Lima PintoA presente dissertação versa sobre a vida e a obra de D. Fr. Inácio de São Caetano (1718- 1788), um carmelita descalço que desempenhou um importante papel no decurso histórico de Portugal em Setecentos, bem como no seio da Ordem dos Carmelitas Descalços. Este trabalho apresenta o percurso biográfico desta figura, desde o seu nascimento em Chaves, passando por Braga e por Lisboa, até à Corte portuguesa, onde desempenhou a função de confessor da Princesa do Brasil e futura rainha D. Maria. Inserido no quadro iluminista em Portugal, Inácio de São Caetano assistiu e viu-se envolvido no seio de vários acontecimentos que acabaram por marcar o século XVIII. Inácio de São Caetano, bispo de Penafiel e arcebispo de Tessalónica, legou um corpus considerável, analisado nesta dissertação, reflexo do seu ideário e da sua vida enquanto homem religioso e político, num dia-a-dia vivido entre o claustro e o palácio.
- The influence of organizational compassion on job crafting: a motivational resource facilitator?Publication . Araújo, Maria Leonor; Marujo, Helena Águeda; Lopes, Miguel Pereira; Pereira, Paulo AlmeidaThis study aimed to analyse the relationship between the perception of compassion at work (consciousness, empathy, evaluation, response type) and compassionate “actions and organizational characteristics” on job crafting (increasing structural job resources, increasing social job resources, increasing challenging job demands, decreasing hindering job demands). The study collected quantitative data from 231 professionals from different economic sectors. The results indicated that only the dimensions: “evaluation” and “response type” of the compassion process, as well as compassionate “organizational characteristics”, showed a positive influence in the “increasing structural job resources”, “increasing social job resources” and “increasing challenging job demands”. There was no negative relationship between the dimensions of the compassion process and compassionate “organizational characteristics and actions” in “decreasing hindering job demands”. The mechanisms by which compassion at work could have positive effects on the job crafting processes are presented.
- Nowcasting the Portuguese GDP with monthly dataPublication . Assunção, João B.; Fernandes, Pedro AfonsoIn this article, we present a method to forecast the Portuguese gross domestic product (GDP) in each current quarter (nowcasting). It combines bridge equations of the real GDP on readily available monthly data like the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI), industrial production index, cement sales or exports and imports, with forecasts for the jagged missing values computed with the well-known Hodrick and Prescott (HP) filter. As shown, this simple multivariate approach can perform as well as a Targeted Diffusion Index (TDI) model and slightly better thanthe univariate Theta method in terms of out-of-sample mean errors.
