- Living the Creative Life: Evidence from “lifestyle entrepreneurs” engage in creative tourismPublication . Carvalho, RuiThe creative consumption of tourism has directed tourism agents towards cultural products, services, and experiences contributing to the lifestyle and identity expression of both consumers and producers as co-creators. Traditional cultural mediators have changed cultural and creative capital ac quisition, representing diverse social agencies and originating di erent forms of mediation marked by new technologies, and new virtual networks playing a relevant part in creative tourism contexts. New cultural mediators correspond to entrepreneurs whose lifestyle is prioritized by the privilege of pursuing non-material gains and pleasant activities instead of professional goals. Few studies have tried to know who these people are, what motivates them to be involved in the creative experiences they o er, and what they learn from the co-creation processes. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to lling in these gaps in creative tourism studies. Hence the authors applied qualitative and quantitative techni ques to analyze the life trajectories of lifestyle entrepreneurs engaged in creative tourism experiences. Findings show that creatives are not always connected to creative jobs, their motives for engaging in such experiences are seen as an economic supplement and the exchange of learning and personal skills are present in such experiences. These considerations contribute to better design creative experiences.
- CUBIC SPLINES IN THE GRASSMANN MANIFOLD GENERATED BY THE DE CASTELJAU ALGORITHMPublication . Pina, FátimaWe present a detailed analysis of the De Casteljau algorithm to gen erate cubic polynomials satisfying certain boundary conditions in the Grassmann manifold, and extend this approach to produce cubic splines that also solve inter polation problems on that manifold.
- COMPLETE CONTROLLABILITY OF THE KINEMATIC EQUATIONS DESCRIBING PURE ROLLING OF GRASSMANNIANSPublication . Pina, FátimaThis paper studies the controllability properties of certain nonholo nomic control systems, describing the rolling motion of Grassmann manifolds over the affine tangent space at a point. The control functions correspond to the free dom of choosing the rolling curve. The nonholonomic constraints are imposed by the non-slip and non-twist conditions on the rolling. These systems are proved to be controllable in some submanifold of the group of isometries of the space where the two rolling manifolds are embedded. The constructive proof of controllability is also partially addressed.

- Diferentes Aproximações em Linguagens de ProgramaçãoPublication . Anastácio da Câmara, José Teodósiofaremos uma breve resenha das diferentes técnicas de subprogramação e acesso aos dados utilizados nos subprogramas em diferentes linguagens de programação de referência, dado que há linguagens que implementam apenas uma aproximação, mas há outras que requerem duas aproximações. Com este artigo, tentaremos fazer um esclarecimento sobre estes aspetos.
- Nautical Tourism in Medio Tejo (Portugal): the wakeboard activityPublication . Simoes, J. T.Nautical tourism is a growing product in Portugal, following a long tradition related to aquatic products. The wakeboard activity gained important visibility, especially due to the rst world championship, in 2017, on the Zêzere river. The study now presented focuses mainly on the importance of valuing river-water resources and the Zêzere river, through wakeboard activity, for the consolidation of an e cient tourism product in the dynamic promotion of tourist and cultural attractiveness. For this purpose, as a methodology, a questionnaire survey was applied in areas of the Zêzere river equipped with a cable park, to understand the importance of wakeboarding in the development of river tourism in the territory. This study aims to enrich the knowledge of the wakeboard activity integrated into the nautical tourist product of the Medio Tejo. The results point to a growing trend in demand for this activity by residents and tourists, who combine leisure with knowledge of the heritage resources (material and immaterial) of this territory. The appreciation of the activity can lead local agents and actors to know and invest in the territory, making wakeboarding an activity of great economic, social, cultural, and environmental importance, contributing to the promotion and development of this territory.
- REFORMA, MODERNIZAÇÃO OU PSEUDOMODERNIZAÇÃO DAS ORGANIZAÇÕES DA SAÚDE - O caso dos cuidados de saúde primáriosPublication . Rodigues, Carlos ManuelO conceito de governação em saúde nos cuidados primários foi amplamente expresso nos documentos da Reforma dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários, tendo constituído um referencial na modernização dos cuidados de saúde. A presente reflexão teve origem nos princípios da governação em saúde para um questionamento face ao efetivo processo de modernização dos cuidados de saúde primários (CSP). Na verdade, ao fim de 12 anos, o processo de reforma continua, não tendo havido repercussões significativas para além da constituição das unidades de saúde familiar (USF). No que respeita à modernização, esta também não resultou de acordo com as expetativas gerais. No nosso entender, este imobilismo deve-se à falta de autonomia e responsabilização das atividades por ausência de um modelo de governação integrada.
- A importância do turismo cultural e criativo na imagem de um destino turísticoPublication . Carvalho, RuiA criatividade e a influência cada vez maior da cultura no campo do turismo concorreram para o surgimento de um novo paradigma ao nível da oferta dos destinos, com implicações na sua imagem e marca. Eventos culturais e criativos constituem desta forma ferramentas estratégicas na gestão dos territórios ajudando a delinear a oferta turística dos destinos. Foi nosso objetivo caracterizar os contributos criativos que os eventos incorporam em termos de reabilitação urbana, diferenciação da oferta turística, o uso de recursos intangíveis na preservação da cultura local e o seu contributo para a formação de uma imagem e marca do destino turístico mais dinâmicas. Foram analisados dois estudos de caso considerados importantes para a pesquisa em questão, a Festa dos Tabuleiros em Tomar e o Festival MED em Loulé. Verificámos que os eventos correspondem a estratégias de desenvolvimento cultural, social e económico dos destinos melhorando a imagem turística dos territórios. O incremento criativo que os eventos originam, proporciona o desenvolvimento e crescimento de fluxos turísticos contribuindo para o sucesso das economias locais e regionais. Estes devem ser enquadrados nas estratégias territoriais.
- Dimensões da Universidade Empreendedora e o Seu Papel na Perceção de Competitividade RegionalPublication . Brás, Gonçalo RodriguesEste estudo testa a multidimensionalidade de Universidade Empreendedora (UE) e visa aferir o respetivo contributo para a competitividade regional. Com base em 619 respostas de estudantes, professores e outros colaboradores de dez universidades públicas portuguesas, foi efetuada uma análise fatorial confirmatória e uma estimação de regressão linear múltipla. O construto da UE é confirmado, comprovando a adequação das escalas para o contexto destas universidades. Os resultados mostram que os cinco fatores associados à UE - processos internos, medidas de apoio ao empreendedorismo, colaboração internacional, estratégia de financiamento e estrutura organizacional - contribuem positivamente para a perceção de competitividade regional, acentuando a função das universidades públicas enquanto polos de transferência de conhecimento dinamizadores da competitividade regional
- UNDERSTANDING THE CREATIVE TOURISM EXPERIENCE IN CULTURAL AND CREATIVE EVENTS/FESTIVALSPublication . Carvalho, RuiThe specialised consumption of creative tourism experiences and their presence in cultural and creative events and festivals, constitute examples of reflexive tourism consumption. Following the line of research about the specialised consumption of creative tourism experiences and events, this research aims to describe and account for examples where cultural and creative events/festivals represent opportunities for participatory experiences like workshops. The author developed a systematic review using SCOPUS database, to account for creative tourism experiences present at cultural and creative events/festivals. Thirteen documents from 2003 to 2019, were chosen and analysed as they represent the confrontation between cultural and creative events/festivals and creative tourism experiences principles. Findings show that authors don´t always refer directly to creative tourism experiences in the events and festival case studies analysed. Results were organized under two perspectives the in creative tourism literature such "event/festival centred approach" discussed in as the creative city, creative spectacles and cultural and creative capital co-creation. Nonetheless, important creative contributions for the development of creative capital present at cultural and creative events and festivals are highlighted. The recent establishment of creative tourism as a research area and the small number of papers found constitute limitations to the study.
