- Adoption of the GITHUB platform as a data source for creating a decision support system in an agile development contextPublication . Cabeças, António; Santos, Bruna; Júnior, Laercio Cruvinel; Fernandes, AdrianaThe increasing adoption of agile methodologies in software development by companies aims to enhance productivity, quality, and responsiveness to market changes. This scenario demands tools capable of reliably monitoring the development process through easily visualisable metrics, facilitating analysis and decision-making. The present study aimed to develop a decision support system that provides essential metrics for managing agile teams, utilising data from GitHub repositories. The methodology comprised three main phases: (1) initial requirements gathering through interviews with agile software development experts; (2) analysis of responses to define a preliminary list of requirements; and (3) validation and finalisation of the tool's functional requirements through a brainstorming session. The study identified key metrics used by managers in conducting agile projects. The resulting tool was developed and tested, proving to be intuitive and easily analysable for end users. It provides fundamental metrics and assists teams in optimising their products and work processes, contributing significantly to the effectiveness of agile software project management.
- Adventure tourism for people with disabilities in Portugal: opportunities and challengesPublication . Lima Devile, Eugénia; Antunes Moura, Andreia FilipaRecently, tourism for all appears as a phenomenon of strategic importance within the world. Contemporary society recognizes the need for inclusion of all and the universal right to participate in tourism activities that enhance human and social development. At the same time, it is important to stress out that, this relatively recent concern and sensitivity, is strictly related to two other global phenomena, aging population and quest for healthier life styles. Therefore, knowing that new realities imply alternative solutions, we believe active tourism combines symbiotically with accessible tourism, emerging as an opportunity for progress at different levels. Within this context, a more dynamic dimension of the tourism offer, adventure tourism for all, should be considered an opportunity for personal well-being, or else, quality of life of its participants. In addition, developing adapted adventure tourism activities to the disabled population will simultaneously provide new business opportunities. In Portugal, we have witnessed a growing interest in accessible tourism and observed the promotion of various public and private initiatives responding to the new tourism development trends. Thus, we suggest a new challenge for the sector under the adapted adventure tourism, presenting two perspectives of reflection in terms of the viability of the proposal and management of the tourism destination. In this paper we will discuss the relevance of accessible adventure tourism activities as an innovative development strategy, responding to new market demands, and potentially adding value to tourism products and destinations. We will base our presentation on a literature review as well as on the analysis of case studies undertaken in Portugal. This could have a pedagogical effect both on those responsible for the tourism sector and on tourists themselves, with or without disability, thus contributing to fight against stereotypes and prejudice still present in our society.
- Avaliação preliminar sobre a inteligência emocional de professores de ciências em formação continuada [Preliminary assessment of the emotional intelligence of science teachers in continuous training]Publication . Solino, E.; Miranda, S. C.; Valente, S. N.Inteligência Emocional é uma variável psicológica essencial aos professores. Distintos estudos indicam que os professores que apresentam mais inteligência emocional vivenciam menos situações de estresse. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo analisar os níveis de inteligência emocional e de stress percebido em professores. Participaram 18 professores de Ciências da Educação Básica (Midade= 40,1; DP=7,0) que são ingressantes no Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Ciências na Universidade Estadual de Goiás. Foram aplicados os instrumentos: Escala de inteligência emocional e a Escala de stress percebido para avaliar as percepções dos professores relativamente a estes constructos. Através da análise estatística, usando o programa SPSS, os resultados indicaram que os professores pontuam mais na dimensão avaliação das próprias emoções, e que percepcionam o stress como de nível baixo. Com base nos resultados é sugerido o desenvolvimento de ações de intervenção voltadas ao engrandecimento da inteligência emocional dos professores com foco na regulação das emoções
- BATS-PT: Assessing Portuguese Masked Language Models in Lexico-Semantic Analogy Solving and Relation CompletionPublication . Oliveira, Hugo Gonçalo; Rodrigues, Ricardo; Ferreira, Bruno; Silvano, Purificação; Carvalho, SaraThis paper presents BATS-PT, the manual translation of the lexicographic portion of the Bigger Analogy Test Set (BATS) to European Portuguese. BATS-PT covers ten types of lexicosemantic analogies and can be used for assessing word embeddings and language models. Following this, the dataset is showcased while assessing two pretrained language models for Portuguese, BERTimbau and Albertina, in two tasks: analogy solving and relation completion, both in zero- and few-shot mask-prediction approaches. Experiments reveal different performance across relations and, in both tasks, the best overall performance was achieved with BERTimbau, in a five-shot scenario. We further discuss the limitations of the reported experiments and directions towards future improvements in these tasks.
- BEE-MER: Bimodal Embeddings Ensemble for Music Emotion RecognitionPublication . Lima Louro, Pedro Miguel; Ribeiro, Tiago F. R.; Malheiro, Ricardo; Panda, Renato; Pinto de Carvalho e Paiva, Rui PedroStatic music emotion recognition systems typically focus on audio for classification, although some research has explored the potential of analyzing lyrics as well. Both approaches face challenges when it comes to accurately discerning emotions that have similar energy but differing valence, and vice versa, depending on the modality used. Previous studies have introduced bimodal audio-lyrics systems that outperform single-modality solutions by combining information from standalone systems and conducting joint classification. In this study, we propose and compare two bimodal approaches: one strictly based on embedding models (audio and word embeddings) and another one following a standard spectrogram-based deep learning method for the audio part. Additionally, we explore various information fusion strategies to leverage both modalities effectively. The main conclusions of this work are the following: i) the two approaches show comparable overall classification performance; ii) the embedding-only approach leads to a higher confusion between quadrants 3 and 4 of Russell’s circumplex model; iii) and this approach requires significantly less computational cost for training. We discuss the insights gained from the approaches we experimented with and highlight promising avenues for future research.
- Behavioral Differences And Impact Of Lowercase And Uppercase Letters On Reading PerformancePublication . Teixeira, Ana Rita; Brito-Costa, Sónia; Ferreira Antunes, Maria Fernanda; Espada, Sílvia MariaThe aim of this work is to understand the impact of lowercase letters and uppercase letters in terms of reading. Four sessions were held in which subjects are aged from 15 to 59 years old. Of the 19 participants with a mean age of 26.52 years (SD=13.14), to understand which letters (lowercase versus uppercase) presents a shorter reading time and higher levels of calmness, considering two different complexity texts (children and scientific) in two different forms of interaction (paper reading and screen reading). Several tests were carried out to ensure the intended result in order to comprehend the influence of various visual variables because of a more precise reading process. Four variables were examined using various sensors, including the Brain Computer Interaction (BCI) device, to measure heart rate activity (HRA) and levels of brain activity (active, neutral, and calm). The number of errors, the reading time, the heart rate variability and the calmness, active and neutral levels were considered. Our findings demonstrate that depending on the type of letters (lowercase versus uppercase), and the type of text (scientific versus children's text), and the reading text presentation (paper or screen), the visual variables have a different effect on reading performance.
- The benefits of internationalization in higher Education. The experience in portuguese polytechnics.Publication . Mourato, JoaquimThe European Commission [4] states that each Member State should adjust its national strategies to enhance its potential and international presence and attract talent. Account must be taken of both the national skills shortage and the lack of intercultural skills and the knowledge and research needs of their developing partner countries. Globalization is a process of great expansion, irreversible and with deep implications in all areas. This process will result in new opportunities and new challenges for the next generations of students and teachers looking to develop in an increasingly interdependent context. The Portuguese polytechnics, through the implementation of a concerted internationalization strategy between the institutions, have already achieved significant results in terms of international affiliations, international student and teacher and non-teaching staff mobility, joint programs and degrees and joint research projects. The internationalization of Portuguese higher education institutions (HEI) in recent years confirms the trend towards globalization of higher educa
- Breaking the Programming Language Barrier: Multilingual Prompting to Empower Non-Native English LearnersPublication . Prather, James; Reeves, Brent N; Denny, Paul; Leinonen, Juho; MacNeil, Stephen; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew; Orvalho, Joao; Alipour, Amin; Alfageeh, Ali; Amarouche, ThezyriE; Kimmel, Bailey; Wright, Jared; Blake, Musa; Barbre, GwenethNon-native English speakers (NNES) face multiple barriers to learning programming. These barriers can be obvious, such as the fact that programming language syntax and instruction are often in English, or more subtle, such as being afraid to ask for help in a classroom full of native English speakers. However, these barriers are frustrating because many NNES students know more about programming than they can articulate in English. Advances in generative AI (GenAI) have the potential to break down these barriers because state of the art models can support interactions in multiple languages. Moreover, recent work has shown that GenAI can be highly accurate at code generation and explanation. In this paper, we provide the first exploration of NNES students prompting in their native languages (Arabic, Chinese, and Portuguese) to generate code to solve programming problems. Our results show that students are able to successfully use their native language to solve programming problems, but not without some difficulty specifying programming terminology and concepts. We discuss the challenges they faced, the implications for practice in the short term, and how this might transform computing education globally in the long term.
