- Luxury in transition: embracing new consumer trends and market dynamicsPublication . Rosário, Albérico Travassos; Aleem, AihoorThe luxury goods market has grown significantly in recent years, driven by rising disposable incomes, global travel, and the aspirational buying behaviours of emerging markets. However, this growth presents chal lenges and opportunities for luxury brands. The evolving consumer base is younger, more diverse, and digitally savvy, demanding personalized experiences and valuing sustainability. This shift forces brands to adapt quickly. Counterfeiting and brand dilution also threaten the exclusivity of luxury goods, while economic uncertainties and political tensions impact consumer spending. Still, there are opportunities: e-commerce and digital marketing provide new ways to reach global audiences, and innovation in tech and sustainability can help brands stand out. Those that navigate these challenges and embrace new trends will thrive. A systematic review of 48 academic documents on luxury brands and their consumption from the Scopus database is planned

Recent studies cover a range of AI applications, including customer engagement, personalization, and brand loyalty, alongside the ethical challenges AI poses, such as data privacy, transparency, and fairness. The review identifies core theoretical frameworks such as social identity theory and affordance theory that underpin these discussions. Findings highlight that while AI can enhance consumer experiences and drive brand loyalty, it also requires ethical oversight to ensure responsible data.
- A comprehensive literature review on the influence of artificial intelligence on consumer engagement and brand loyalty in digital marketing.Publication . Rosário, Albérico Travassos; Cruz, RuiThis literature review synthesizes key findings from recent studies examining the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on consumer engagement, brand loyalty, and digital marketing strategies. Utilizing frameworks such as affordance theory, social identity theory, and delegation theory, these studies reveal how AI influences brand perception, consumer trust, and purchase behavior across various sectors, including finance, retail, and tourism. The review highlights how specific AI features, such as anthropomorphism, interactivity, and personalization, enhance user experience, fostering brand identification and loyalty. However, ethical concerns regarding data privacy, customer manipulation, and authenticity are also noted as challenges within the AI- driven marketing landscape. By consolidating these insights, this review provides a theoretical and practical foundation for future research on AI's role in consumer behavior and offers strategic considerations for marketing professionals in the digital age
- Far- reaching hunter- gatherer networks during the Last Glacial Maximum in Western EuropePublication . Torre, Marta Sánchez de la; Mangado, Xavier; Castillo-Jiménez, Samuel; Cuartero, Felipe; Hewitt, Richard J.; Luque, Luis; Gratuze, Bernard; Almeida, Miguel; Andrés-Herrero, Maria de; Constans, Guilhem; Marguet, Louis; Aubry, Thierry; Alcolea-González, José J.; Alcaraz-Castaño, ManuelSocial networking is an essential feature of hunter- gatherer societies. It fosters the circulation of goods and information and enables kinship ties across different scales, including long- distance contacts. While such behaviors are known since at least the Upper Palaeolithic, evidence for geographically extensive social networks remains scarce. This evidence is limited to indirect inferences based on shared cultural traits, “art” styles, and symbolic items, while lithic raw material movements are mostly local and regional, with few cases exceeding 300 kilometers. We provide geochemical evidence for the largest confirmed distance between the source and discard location of a knapped lithic object in Palaeolithic Europe. Solutrean artifacts discarded at Peña Capón, Central Iberia, were sourced in Southwest France, 600 to 700 kilometers away. This demonstrates social networks of unprecedented geographic scale maintained during ∼1400 years during the Last Glacial Maximum. It also suggests that stone tools were exchanged as symbolic items to solidify social contacts and sustain far- reaching networks as risk- buffering mechanisms among widely dispersed hunter- gatherers.

- Intelligent CurriculaPublication . Lourenço, Abílio; Valente, SabinaThis chapter explores how artificial intelligence can transform curriculum design by personalising learning and supporting the development of essential 21st-century skills. Integrating artificial intelligence into curricula enables adaptive learning environments that respond to individual student needs, promoting equity and improving educational outcomes. The chapter begins by contextualising the growing role of artificial intelligence in education and examining current opportunities and challenges for educators and institutions. It then discusses personalised learning mechanisms, offering examples of how generative artificial intelligence can enhance the student experience. The second section focuses on developing key skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy, showing how they can be integrated into the curriculum with the support of artificial intelligence. Ethical and inclusion issues are also considered to ensure fair and accessible implementation

- Missing persons response: national programs and global cooperation in Brazil’s migration contextPublication . Minervino, Aline; Amorim, António; Corte Real, F.; Cainé, LauraThe search and identification of missing persons represent a pressing global issue with profound humanitarian, legal, and institutional implications. This study presents an illustrative documentary review of MP/UHR identification initiatives in countries selected for their migration-related links to Brazil and their relevance to transnational DNA cooperation (Brazil, Portugal, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Belgium). Grounded in the United Nations guidelines and using peer-reviewed literature, official reports, and documentation from international organizations, the analysis examine how forensic genetics is integrated into MP/UHR workflows, the legal and governance frameworks that enable or constrain the processing of relatives’ reference profiles, and the operational arrangements that support cross-border exchange. The synthesis indicates that identification outcomes depend not only on laboratory capacity, but also on institutional coordination and the linkage of ante-mortem and post-mortem data. The study also describes international mechanisms such as INTERPOL’s I-Familia database, and humanitarian identification platforms. Although these tools show great potential, their effectiveness is limited due to inconsistent adoption across countries and variations in national protocols. The identification of missing persons must be approached as a shared international responsibility, requiring cooperation in science, law, and policy to ensure dignity, truth, and justice for families of the missing.

- Population of Northern Portugal: study of genetic diversity and forensic parameters of 26 Y-STR markersPublication . Maia, Bárbara; Souto, Luís; Fadoni, Jennifer; Cainé, Laura; Amorim, AntónioShort tandem repeats (STRs) are highly variable sequences present along the human genome, including the Y-chromosome. Y-STRs are exclusive to males, and the haplotypes they define are informative. Objectives: Twenty-six Y-STR loci were genotyped in 252 males from Northern Portugal to characterise Y-chromosome genetic variation using the Investigator Argus Y28 QS Kit. Methods: The kit mentioned was used to amplify male DNA samples, and capillary electrophoresis was used to analyze the fragments. Forensic parameters and haplotype diversity were computed, and samples’ haplogroups were predicted. A multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot was used to graphically represent the RST genetic distances, including reference populations. Results: A total of 250 different haplotypes were observed, including 248 unique ones, yielding a very high haplotype diversity (HD = 0.999) and discriminatory power (DP = 0.992). Haplogroup analysis indicated a predominance of R1b (58.7%), followed by E1b1b, I and J, pointing to a population history shaped by Mediterranean and North African gene flow. Comparative analysis between Portugal and 5 other populations showed greater genetic affinity with Spain and Italy, while revealing marked differentiation from Greece, Morocco, and former Portuguese colonies. Conclusions: The results confirm that the Northern Portuguese Population exhibits high Y-STR variability and robust forensic resolution. The dataset was submitted to the YHRD database, enhancing the representation of the Portuguese population and underscoring the value of the 26 locus panel for applications in forensic science, genealogy, and population genetics.
