- Selective imprisonment in Brasil: a story beyond the wallsPublication . Valentim, Janaína Luana Rodrigues da Silva; Azevedo, Bruna; Fernandes, Emily; Coutinho, Karoliny Dantas; Silva, Ronaldo; Henriques, Susana; Romão, Manoel Honório; Batista, Natalia Araújo do Nascimento; Coutinho, Karilany Dantas; Valentim, Ricardo Alexsandro de Medeiros; Oliveira, Carlos Alberto Pereira de; Dias, Aline de PinhoThis article discusses the Brazilian prison system and the challenges posed by social inequality that affect the prison population, presenting a concise historical context. The work is situated within the paradoxical context of a country with a Criminal Enforcement Law (LEP) considered modern, but which maintains a selective, segregating, and punitive model of incarceration. The central objective of this study is to analyze the contrast between the humanized ideal of the Criminal Enforcement Law (LEP) and the selective and exclusionary reality of the national prison system. It seeks to substantiate the social injustices perpetrated in prisons, often through the very mechanisms of justice. Furthermore, the article aims to discuss the need for transformation of the prison system, in alignment with the principles of human rights and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The methodology of this study is qualitative and reflective in nature, delineated from a transdisciplinary approach. The narrative construction permeates a theoretical review of the legal, social, and ideological aspects of the prison system, with a dialogue between Law, Social Sciences, Public Health, and Education. The analysis included an examination of the Criminal Enforcement Law and a historical review from the Penal Code of 1830, in addition to a critical interpretation of official data and empirical studies. The results indicate institutional ineffectiveness in Brazilian prisons, operating as the last step in a systematic process of denial of rights that precedes imprisonment. It is demonstrated that overcrowding, low levels of education, and racial selectivity characterize the discrepancy between the norm and reality. However, the study highlights the potential of the Criminal Enforcement Law as an instrument for inducing humanitarian public policies. The analysis in light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reveals that the effectiveness of the law requires integrated actions in health, education, and work, transforming the prison into a space for citizen reconstruction.
- AI-powered sustainable tourism: aligning innovations with the sustainable development goalsPublication . Alves, Jéssica; Arantes, Luzia; Moreira, AntonioThis study investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to foster sustainable tourism practices that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It employs the SPAR-4-SLR protocol to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of 76 Q1 peer-reviewed articles identified in Web of Science and Scopus to determine the contribution of AI to environmental, social and economic sustainability. Four thematic areas emerged: (1) cocreation of value and sustainability in supply chains; (2) AI, service innovation and sustainable transitions; (3) AI, experience and governance in sustainable tourism; and (4) technology, nature and emerging frontiers. Results indicate that AI improves the sustainability process by making operations more efficient and sustainable and promotes ethical governance, inclusivity and innovation. A framework presents the interaction of AI-driven transformation, governance and ethical practices to foster a sustainable environment, contribute to SDGs 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13, and help improve SDGs 5, 7, 10, 14, 15 and 17. The study’s research agenda includes evaluating the long-term purposes of AI adoption, adoption barriers, implementation in less developed destinations and the enhancement of AI-oriented forecasting models. It provides original insights into the intersection of AI and sustainable development within tourism, providing actionable knowledge for academics, policymakers and practitioners seeking to harness AI for advancing sustainable tourism.

- Portugal segundo o MinhoPublication . Magalhães, António; Araújo, Maria Marta Lobo de; Franco, José Eduardo; Vieira, Fátima; Braga, Isabel Drumond"Portugal segundo Portugal – Minho" constitui uma sugestiva proposta de viagem pela região, conduzida por dois historiadores. As terras e as gentes vão desfilando ao longo das páginas, fornecendo ao leitor, de forma precisa e elegante, conteúdos atrativos e bem explanados. Para o cumprimento de tal desiderato, os autores convocaram fontes diversificadas de vários períodos históricos, com ênfase na Época Moderna, e foram proporcionando a identificação das imagens e autoimagens de um espaço pequeno e populoso, litoral e interior, que, ao longo do tempo, soube sempre responder aos problemas com que se debateu, muitas vezes em estreita correlação com a Galiza. Pode dizer-se que a obra constitui um convite à descoberta ou à redescoberta da região por todos os portugueses e, certamente, também pelos estrangeiros.
- Silence does not protect us from racism and violence: telling stories of afro-descendants’ collective action in PortugalPublication . Albuquerque, Rosana; Adam, Ilke; Beaman, Jean; Jung, MariskaEste capítulo traça percursos da ação coletiva de Afro-descendentes em Portugal, desde meados da década de 1970 até ao presente, atendendo aos contextos sociais e políticos que moldam a sua atuação e identificando reivindicações, discursos e práticas. Procuro contar uma história coletiva construída sobre muitas histórias que precisam de ser descobertas e partilhadas, como forma de confrontar o silêncio e a negação do racismo em Portugal. Histórias que permitem o reconhecimento da ação política dos Afro-descendentes, sobretudo os seus contributos para os direitos humanos e para a democracia em Portugal.
- Portugal segundo os AçoresPublication . Braga, Paulo César Drumond; Franco, José Eduardo; Vieira, Fátima; Braga, Isabel DrumondMarcados pelo isolamento e pelo distanciamento face aos centros de decisão, com a permanente ameaça de sismos e de vulcões, os Açores foram forjando uma identidade que se reflete no quotidiano e na produção cultural. Tudo isto ajuda a explicar uma longa batalha pela autonomia administrativa. Por outro lado, pese embora o seu carácter periférico, e talvez mesmo por isso, o arquipélago protagonizou momentos-chave da história de Portugal e, porque não dizê-lo?, pelo menos no que à Segunda Guerra Mundial diz respeito, da história da humanidade. Considerando-se muitas vezes, talvez com alguma razão, esquecidos pelos sucessivos governos de Lisboa, os Açores construíram uma certa lenda negra de abandono, mas, em simultâneo, foram sabendo encontrar formas alternativas de sobrevivência e de resiliência.
- Professional roles and competencies in distance higher education: perspectives from professors and tutors at Universidade Aberta, PortugalPublication . Martins, Dércio; Morgado, Lina; Duart, Josep M.; Softić, Sandra KučinaThe expansion of online distance education has intensified debates about professional roles and competencies required for effective online teaching. This study examines how professors and tutors at Universidade Aberta (UAb, Portugal’s Open University) perceive and prioritise their professional roles and competencies. We employed sequential exploratory mixed-methods design: focus group analysis (n = 7) informed survey development assessing eight roles and 65 competencies via five-point Likert scales among 57 faculty (38 professors, 19 tutors). All roles were rated important (M > 4.0), with pedagogical (M = 4.68), social (M = 4.67), evaluator (M = 4.67), and adviser (M = 4.65) emerging as priorities. Professors rated pedagogical role significantly higher (M = 4.79 vs 4.47, p = 0.025), whilst tutors emphasised social (M = 4.89 vs 4.55, p = 0.034) and technologist roles (M = 4.63 vs 3.97, p = 0.004). Top competencies included assessing student work, demonstrating availability, adopting ethical posture, providing timely feedback, and being empathetic. Findings reveal convergence around core functions and meaningful differentiation between roles, suggesting complementary specialisation within dual-role systems. Implications address professional development programme design and institutional policies for recognising diverse competency requirements. HIGHLIGHTS • Sequential mixed-methods study examined role/competency perceptions among 57 distance education faculty at Portugal’s Open University. • All eight professional roles rated important (M > 4.0), with pedagogical, social, evaluator, and adviser emerging as top priorities. • Systematic differences revealed complementary specialisation: professors prioritise pedagogical design (M = 4.79), tutors prioritise social facilitation (M = 4.89, p = 0.034). • Tutors rated technologist role significantly higher (M = 4.63 vs 3.97, p = 0.004), reflecting differential technology engagement. • Findings inform differentiated professional development pathways and policies recognising diverse competency requirements.
- Young people in Portugal and the mediterranean diet: a case studyPublication . Carapeto, Cristina; Guimarães, Maria Fátima; CABIThe study assessed the adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) among 467 secondary school students from the D. Afonso Sanches School Group, in Vila do Conde, Portugal, correlating the KIDMED index with data on eating habits, cooking methods, and socio-economic factors, collected through bespoke questionnaires designed by the authors. A high point-in-time adherence to the KIDMED index was observed (52.2% high), although actual eating practices diverged from MD principles: insufficient consumption of fruit (21%) and vegetables (19%), high fast-food intake (65%), and increased sedentary behaviour exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Identified barriers included the cost of fresh products (78%), limited Mediterranean options in school canteens (84%) and strong advertising influence (90%). It is recommended to articulate assessment tools (KIDMED and food frequency questionnaires), implement culinary workshops, revise school menus, provide incentives for local producers and promote food literacy campaigns, alongside extracurricular physical activity programmes.
- Aprendizagem móvel sem fronteiras no ensino superior: um estudo de caso exploratórioPublication . Noguera, Ingrid; Agostini, Daniele; Afonso, Ana PaulaMobile seamless learning (MSL) has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach in higher education, offering opportunities for flexible, collaborative, and social learning. Although scholarly attention has increased, systematic implementation remains underexplored. This study examines the integration of MSL principles in a Master's-level distance learning course, drawing on the FRAME and 10-Dimensions MSL (10D-MSL) frameworks. A mixed-methods design combining quantitative and qualitative data was used to evaluate three dimensions: social interaction, learner flexibility, and teaching presence. Results show that the MSL-based course enhanced engagement, fostered creativity, and strengthened collaborative learning. Challenges also emerged, particularly in time management, workload, and balancing formal and informal contexts. Findings highlight the crucial role of mobile devices in enabling autonomous and context-based learning, as well as the dependence on thoughtful instructional design that is aligned with learner needs. Well-structured course design proved essential to overcoming technical and organisational barriers. This research contributes to the understanding of MSL in higher education and offers practical guidelines for educators seeking to implement mobile technologies effectively.
- Realização e avaliação online das práticas pedagógicas e estágio supervisionado: um desafio possível na formação em exercício dos professores primários e educadores de adultos?Publication . Chissico, PauloO presente estudo apoia-se nos resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e interpretativa que deu suporte à conceção do projeto da formação em exercício e a distância dos professores do Ensino Primário e educadores de adultos através dos dispositivos móveis, no currículo e modelo pedagógico deste curso e discute a realização e avaliação online das práticas pedagógicas e do estágio supervisionado nesta proposta formativa. O estudo, visando descrever as medidas a tomar para a preparação e realização online das práticas pedagógicas e do estágio supervisionado, constatou que estes profissionais da educação residem ou trabalham em zonas com disparidades no acesso à energia elétrica e ao sinal de internet; alguns não possuem dispositivos móveis, aqueles que os têm, acedem ás redes sociais, editam textos, imagens e vídeos e usam-nos para fins pedagógicos com dificuldades devido a limitações na proficiência digital. Assim, recomenda a segmentação dos polos de tutoria em núcleos pedagógicos de tipos A, B e C, a formação totalmente online nos núcleos pedagógicas de tipo A, a capacitação dos intervenientes para a realização online das práticas pedagógicas e do estágio supervisionado, entre outros.
