NO ESPAÇO E NO TEMPO Contributos para a História das Instituições de Viana do Alentejo (séculos XIV a XX) - «Prefácio»

No Espaço e no Tempo. Contributos para a História das Instituições de Viana do Alentejo (Séculos XIV- XX) – um conjunto de estudos de Fátima Farrica que, deste modo, nos convida a realizar um itinerário de estudos locais, ao mesmo tempo que nos conduz para as grandes traves temáticas da historiografia europeia a partir de uma geografia cultural e política – no espaço e no tempo – em Viana do Alentejo,valorizando os diálogos da longa duração. e mais atual não podia estar, uma vez que a revista francesa Annales. Histoire, Sciences Sociales acaba de publicar o seu número comemorativo de 70 anos (Abril- Junho 2015) com um número temático: «la longue durée en débat». ou seja, debates em história, longa duração e a funcionalidade de estudos locais estão de volta à oficina do historiador.Camara de Viana do Alentejo e entidades associada

Crime without punishment: An update review of the determinants of cheating among university students

The issue of cheating is a serious problem since it can call the efficiency of an education system into question. Furthermore, it is a devaluing factor in the country's stock of human capital. A student who copies is a free-rider, in the sense that he/she gains a higher grade than that merited by the actual amount of effort expended on study. In addition, it makes it impossible for teachers to fully achieve the goal of effective dissemination to, and acquisition of knowledge by, students. This paper conceptually and methodologically systematizes the phenomenon of academic fraud. Distinct forms of theorizing illegal behaviours are examined, adapting Becker’s crime model (1968) to cheating. A systematic review of the literature has allowed certain direct determinants of the probability of “copying”, not yet investigated, to be identified, viz: 1) the ‘advantages’, in terms of a higher grade, that students see themselves as gaining from fraudulent behaviour in comparison with not indulging in it; 2) the breakdown of students’ grades by nature of discipline - “reasoning” versus “cramming”; and 3) the existence or otherwise of a code of honour in universities. As a result, this paper proposes a new, ‘expanded’, econometric specification for estimating cheating (i.e., the probability of “copying”) based on an analysis of the expected cost-benefit, according to Becker’s model.crime, cheating, university, human capital

College cheating in Portugal: results from a large scale survey

The phenomenon of cheating among academics is of overwhelming importance in that the students engaging in it are most unlikely to have the skills necessary for their future professional life. Despite its relevance, the empirical evaluation of college cheating has been almost exclusively focused on the US context. Little is known about college cheating at the European level let alone Portugal. Less even in investigated at the regional level. In this paper we present evidence on cheating perception by Portuguese undergraduate students of economics and business courses. We undertake a large scale survey, involving 2675 students from all Portuguese mainland public universities. We found that (1) the likelihood of copying is increased when the expected benefit in terms of grade is positive; (2) copying-favourable environments – the high frequency with which students observe the act of copying, familiarity with someone that copies regularly, and the students’ opinion regarding copying – are associated with higher cheating propensity; (3) the higher and more serious students perceive sanctions, fewer incentives they have to perpetrate dishonest behaviours – in universities where ‘codes of honour’ exist, the propensity for copying among students is lower; (4) the propensity for copying seems to be highly influenced by regions’ cultural systems and social related factors - students who reside on a permanent basis in southern, inland regions, especially in Alentejo-related areas, present a significantly higher propensity to academic fraud than students from other areas of Portugal.cheating; university; cost/benefit; regions

Identificando a geometria nas construções indígenas

Atualmente, a escola vive sempre procurando acompanhar as constantes transformações do mundo “globalizado”, e isso se transforma numa luta, às vezes desigual, pela conquista do universo dos estudantes tão bombardeado de novidades audiovisuais e eletrônicas. Neste trabalho, mostra‐se como a partir do estudo do meio, foi possível despertar o interesse de estudantes brasileiros do ensino médio pela Geometria presente na construção da maloca de indígenas Uitoto da Amazônia colombiana. Mostra também, que além dos meios tecnológicos disponíveis, o professor de matemática pode utilizar os recursos existentes na comunidade ou na própria escola como objeto de ensino atrativo, pois tudo depende da forma como este objeto irá ser usado

Ageing and Quality of Life - New Responses from the Real Estate Sector in Portugal

In the second half of the 20th century, the history of European demography is associated with a pronounced and widespread process of ageing. The 21st century will have to cater to the needs of an elderly population in transformation. Portugal is also part of this process and in efforts to improve the quality of life of the elderly, a wide range of facilities, services and social responses have been established by a variety of promoters, targeting several social levels. This paper will analyze a specific segment directed at an exclusive niche of the elderly population, the Senior Residential Condominiums. This is a very recent segment of the housing market, with high levels of comfort, quality, sanitation, health, and recreation, essential to full well-being. The paper intends to characterize this real estate market niche so as to identify its distinctive features, the promoting agents and how they can contribute to residents' quality of life

As Políticas de Acesso ao Ensino Superior do Governo Lula: Reflexões para o Debate

O texto trata das políticas de acesso ao ensino superior propostas pelo Governo Lula. Enfatiza o Programa Universidade Para Todos e a Política de Cotas para a inclusão dos segmentos populares e dos negros, pardos e índios nas instituições privadas e públicas de educação superior. Estas políticas são analisadas no âmbito das propostas e medidas mais amplas para a educação superior, implementadas no Brasil a partir dos anos 1990. Nesse sentido, consideramos que o Governo Lula dá continuidade e aprofunda a lógica instrumental do modelo neoliberal, que concebe a educação superior como custo e não como investimento no sentido da formação de cidadãos críticos e, portanto, de uma nação autônoma e soberana. O governo em questão propõe a democratização do acesso pela via privada, em troca de significativa renúncia fiscal e ensino de qualidade duvidosa (Programa Universidade Para Todos) e pela via pública, reservando vagas para estudantes provenientes das escolas públicas, afrodescendentes e indígenas nas universidades federais (Política de Cotas). Neste caso, os critérios não são baseados na origem de classe dos cotistas, já que não se exige renda mínima para os beneficiários, tendo como conseqüência menor inclusão social

Indefinities and bare nouns in generic contexts in European Portuguese

FR: Le principal but de ce travail est de décrire le comportement des indéfinis sans modification adjectivale en position de sujet préverbal dans des contextes génériques et de montrer leur rapport avec les noms nus en portugais européen (PE). Il est possible de signaler une différence dans la distribution des noms nus en position de sujet préverbal entre les langues germaniques et les langues romanes : l'emploi des noms comptables au pluriel et des noms massifs est grammatical en anglais, très restreint en italien, espagnol et PE, et agrammatical en français. En nous fondant sur les critères établis par Dowty (1979) pour la distinction entre événements et états et sur la distinction proposée par Cunha (2004) entre les éventualités admettant des phases et les éventualités ne les admettant pas, nous établis- sons une corrélation entre la distribution des noms nus et des indéfinis en position sujet préverbal dans le PE et différents types de prédicats. En synthétisant les étalons obtenus dans la description des données, nous combinons (suivant Duarte et al., 2002, et Oliveira et al., 2006) la valeur de chacun des prédicats considérés et la valeur respective du sujet, dans le but d'établir les propriétés des noms nus et des indéfinis en position de sujet préverbal dans le PE, notamment en ce qui concerne les contextes génériques qui les autorisent. Nous montrerons que soit les indéfinis soit les noms nus fonctionnent de façon différente dans cette position-là selon leur forme singulière ou plurielle.The main goal of this work is to describe how singular and plural indefinites without modification in preverbal subject position behave in generic contexts and how they relate to bare nouns in European Portuguese (EP) in the same position and con- texts. In what concerns the distribution of bare nouns (BN) in subject preverbal position without modifiers, a contrast between Germanic and Romance languages has been noticed: plural count nouns and mass nouns are grammatical in English, but not in French and they are quite restricted in Italian, Spanish and EP. Based on the criteria established by Dowty (1979) for distinguishing states from events and on the distinction proposed by Cunha (2004) between phase and non phase eventualities, we establish a correlation between the distribution of BN and indefinites in preverbal subject position in EP and different types of predicates. Having summarized the patterns obtained by the data description, we combine (following Duarte et al., 2002, and Oliveira et al., 2006) the predicate value of each of the considered predicates and their corresponding subject value, in order to account for the properties of the BNs and indefinites preverbal subjects in EP, namely with respect to the generic contexts that allow them. It will be showed that both indefinites and BNs behave differently in such position depending on their singular or plural form

Eurípides (Ifigenia en Áulide), rediseñador de Esquilo (Agamenón) El sacrificio de Ifigenia: un escenario de emociones

Aunque el contraste entre el más antiguo de los tres grandes trágicos atenienses - Esquilo - y el más reciente e innovador - Eurípides – esté consagrado desde la crítica literaria que les fue contemporánea, en particular los cómicos, la verdad es que un análisis minucioso de ambos permite darle un retoque a esta que era una opinión intuitiva. De hecho, y aunque lo haga para comprometerse con nuevas interpretaciones, Eurípides es, sin duda, un espectador atento de Esquilo; y si queremos encontrar, para sus creaciones innovadoras, un modelo en la tragedia anterior, él será, seguramente, mucho más evidente en Esquilo que en Sófocles, teniendo en cuenta solamente a estos tres grandes nombres.Universidad de Málaga.
