- Accounting software for students - An efficient toolPublication . Garcia, Raul RessanoThe aim of this paper is to demonstrate how technology in the classroom can be a useful tool for both students and teachers as far as accounting is concerned. Having in mind my students’ needs I designed an accounting software which allows students to work quickly and more efficiently. With this software students introduce the movements and the software provides the daily journal record, account statements and balance sheets. By doing this, the students can introduce their entries and automatically view the consequences in the account maps of the movements they have just introduced. The software was planned from the beginning to be used for educational purposes only and, as such, it is not subjected to any obligations imposed by law. It was made to run over Access from Microsoft making this software accessible to almost everyone. The software was built using a recursive relationship between a table and itself which assures the sums of the higher level results are presented in lower levels accounts. This way students can make one account entry and immediately see the results in daily journal records, account statements and balance sheets. The outcome is a valid and reliable software. A simple, accurate, straightforward and user-friendly tool which provides immediate feedback to students’ daily launches.
- Serra da Estrela : an approach to the territory, its potential and future for the winter tourism industryPublication . Garcia, Raul RessanoThis paper aims to explore the territory of “Serra da Estrela”, in the North of Portugal, bearing in mind some studies previously undertaken about tourism in the area, mainly focusing on snow tourism. Being snow tourism essentially connected with sports tourism the approach and methodology followed in this article is a sport related one. The literature review which was undergone raised some questions to which answers were sometimes hard to find. Nevertheless, after analyzing some published surveys and getting acquainted with the region, the article provides answers or leads to matters such as: temperature related issues, artificial snow production, renewal of infrastructures, and others. The aim of this article is to initiate a first approach to the territory, get to know its main problems and analyse some proposals to solve some of the latter as suggested by some of the analysed case studies. Personal experience from 35 years of practical experience in winter sports is also provided.
