Calcários de Salselas
No âmbito da disciplina de Biologia/Geologia, dois alunos da Escola Secundária Abade
de Baçal realizaram um trabalho de pesquisa que consistiu em reunir informação, elaborar
e apresentar na aula um trabalho relacionado com um geossítio de um Geoparque
português. Foi escolhido o geossítio “Calcários de Salselas” que faz parte do Geopark
Terras de Cavaleiros. Foi efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e recolhida informação
audiovisual durante uma visita ao local. Tudo isto permitiu elaborar um trabalho em
vídeo recorrendo ao programa de edição de vídeo “Movie Maker” e à aplicação “Google
Earth”.Within the subject of Biology/Geology two students of Escola Secundária Abade de

Collaborative Consent: harnessing the strengths of the Internet for consent in the online environment
Consent in the online environment is a crucial issue at this stage of the development of the Internet, and at the same time, in practice it is generally dealt with only on a superficial level. However, while the Internet offers significant challenges in terms of consent, it also provides unparalleled opportunities, which, if grasped, could enable a new level of consent, particularly where consent is required for services such as behavioural advertising systems. Through an examination of the failure of Phorm, the paper introduces a new concept, 'collaborative consent', treating consent not as a discrete, one-off decision but as a collaborative and communicative process, an ongoing relationship between the individual and the enterprise. The Internet provides a medium for immediate and interactive communication that could allow information to be given and choices to be made in real time - a first step to real, informed consent in the online world
Fertility and its Meaning: Evidence from Search Behavior
Fertility choices are linked to the different preferences and constraints of
individuals and couples, and vary importantly by socio-economic status, as well
by cultural and institutional context. The meaning of childbearing and
child-rearing, therefore, differs between individuals and across groups. In
this paper, we combine data from Google Correlate and Google Trends for the
U.S. with ground truth data from the American Community Survey to derive new
insights into fertility and its meaning. First, we show that Google Correlate
can be used to illustrate socio-economic differences on the circumstances
around pregnancy and birth: e.g., searches for "flying while pregnant" are
linked to high income fertility, and "paternity test" are linked to non-marital
fertility. Second, we combine several search queries to build predictive models
of regional variation in fertility, explaining about 75% of the variance.
Third, we explore if aggregated web search data can also be used to model
fertility trends.Comment: This is a preprint of a short paper accepted at ICWSM'17. Please cite
