- Spatiotemporal patterns and environmental drivers of Physalia physalis strandings along mainland Portugal (northeastern Atlantic)Publication . Carvalho, Patrícia; Cordeiro, Clara; Pereira, Soraia; Santos, Antonina dosPhysalia physalis is a cosmopolitan colonial organism frequently observed in Portuguese waters. The species has long tentacles, provided with cnidocytes, which release a strong poison when in contact with other organisms, and cause skin reactions and severe pain in humans. Events of rapid reproduction, common in these species, may have important economic and social consequences. This study explores for the first time, the relationships between long-term assessment of P. physalis strandings, using data from the GelAvista citizen science project, and environmental variables - Sea Surface Temperature (SST), wind direction and intensity, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and upwelling indices - along the Portuguese coast, using a Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Model. Strandings of P. physalis were concentrated along the western coast and were rare in the south. More than 54 % of the records corresponded to a single individual. Sightings peaked from November through May (winter and spring), mirroring the negative correlation with SST. Wind patterns strongly influenced stranding events: winds likely pushed colonies toward the shore, while calm conditions facilitated their arrival on beaches. In March 2018, an upwelling event in the south coast combined with a series of storms likely underlay the high stranding numbers observed in the southern area, with more than 50 individuals of P. physalis per record. A positive trend in sightings over the study period suggests that P. physalis occurrences may be rising, even after accounting for wind and SST, which might be linked to climate change. Our findings underscore the value of ongoing jellyfish monitoring via citizen science platforms like GelAvista and highlight the need for expanded high-resolution environmental datasets. Moreover, this work establishes a foundation for experimental studies to elucidate the mechanisms behind P. physalis strandings. For future research, time series techniques for imputing missing values may be utilized to enhance the completeness of environmental datasets and strengthen analytical robustness in subsequent studies focused on time series analysis.
- Associação Casa Veva de LimaPublication . Ramalho, Alfredo MagalhãesUniversidade Católica is one of the cultural institutions, which is considered as one of the "founders" of the Associação Casa Veva de Lima, a cultural association jointly created by Maria Ulrich and the Câmara Municipal de Lisboa in order to keep alive the literary salon of her Mother, the writer Veva de Lima.
- Looking deep at current research information systems: the information science perspective in higher educationPublication . Fernandes, SofiaThe objective of this paper is to present and discuss a project that is being developed to implement a Current Research Information System (CRIS) in a Higher Education Institution (HEI).This article discusses the various steps that are being followed to design, define and implement a CRIS system, while at the same time presenting a comparative study between two commercially available CRIS solutions and a Dspace CRIS, highlighting the most common key features that should make part of such a R&D management and support system. Implementing a CRIS in a HEI requires a methodology plan that takes into consideration all the institutional, technological and organizational restrictions and requirements, and in this paper we share an Information Management perspective on this challenge, where the main concern is being able to help design and develop an optimized and efficient R&D managing system that fosters and leverages research results and their worldwide dissemination and visibility.
- From the institutional repository to a CRIS system: what challenges?Publication . Fernandes, Sofia; Pinto, Maria JoãoThis article intends to present and reflect on the challenges of adopting a current research information system (CRIS) with the existence of an institutional repository (IR). Higher education institutions, and its research centers, are facing increasingly needs to obtain information on the research undertaken and their results and performance. Most of the times, the answer has been given partly from the IR. The aggregation and availability of publications in one single place has helped to respond more easily to internal issues and external demands from evaluation and funding agencies, especially regarding open access publications. However, needs have increased: research centers and higher education institutions need relevant information for strategic decision-making and guidance in such demanding times. Besides, institutions and researchers must be very responsive to the open access challenges brought by national policies. This study pretends to share and analyze the main challenges that must be aware when adopting or implementing a CRIS if the community has already an IR. The main concerns relate mainly to technological issues of interoperability that will make life easier for researchers: to deposit once and to reuse multiple times. There are also challenges in terms of the continuity of the repositories that will have to reinvent themselves in this new context. Raising awareness and training issues for researchers and modeling processes at the institutional level are also important in facilitating the research management process and delivering successful results for the institution.
- Teletrabalho: contributos e desafios para as organizaçõesPublication . Figueiredo, Elisabeth; Ribeiro, Célia; Pereira, Paulo; Passos, ClotildeO teletrabalho tem vindo a conquistar crescente posição em vários países, destacando-se mais ainda, presentemente, na sequência do surto pandémico da COVID-19 que veio impor, ao mundo inteiro, confinamento obrigatório. Com a presente investigação, procurou-se analisar a produção científica em língua portuguesa, disponibilizada na b-on, entre 2015 e 2020, focando simultaneamente os contributos e os desafios que o teletrabalho acarreta para as organizações. A revisão sistemática levada a cabo assentou num conjunto de 11 artigos científicos, publicados em 8 revistas brasileiras, conseguidos mediante a pesquisa de 4 palavras-chave: “teletrabalho”, “trabalho remoto”, “trabalho virtual” e “trabalho à distância”. Os resultados obtidos realçam inúmeras vantagens, mas também apontam para um conjunto de desafios que afetam as empresas, a sociedade e a qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores. Parte dos estudos privilegiou uma investigação transversal, de cariz qualitativo, com a aplicação de questionários e a análise de conteúdo para o tratamento dos dados. Sugerem-se novos estudos neste campo, alinhados com o cenário da COVID-19, essencialmente junto das empresas até então assumidas como inexperientes nesta área.
