- A EXPERIÊNCIA ENOTURÍSTICA: uma definição e revisão do conceitoPublication . Santos, VascoEste estudo tem como objetivo fazer uma descrição do estado da arte sobre a experiência em enoturismo. A problemática mais relevante desta revisão teórica e conceitual de pesquisa reside na caracterização da experiência que o enoturismo proporciona aos turistas. O artigo está estruturado da seguinte forma: primeiro é feita uma revisão global relacionada com a construção da experiência, bem como do modelo de experiências turísticas e do sistema de enoturismo. Posteriormente é feita uma análise global da experiência do enoturismo e a caracterização da experiência enoturística. Finalmente são apontadas novas definições de sínteses, as conclusões e implicações para a gestão e novos rumos de pesquisas são igualmente apontados.
- Chapter 7 The Impact of River Tourism on the Development of the Demarcated Regions in Specific (Post-pandemic Crisis) Contexts: The Case of Cruise ShipsPublication . Santos, VascoOne of the fastest-growing segments of the tourism industry in recent years has been cruise tourism. By boarding a cruise ship, river or sea, it is possible to explore various tourist destinations without changing accommodation or means of transport. By encompassing virtually all the customer’s facilities, this type of tourism is becoming increasingly popular around the world (Macleod & Selwyn, 2002). With the opening of the Douro River’s navigability in its entire length in the 1990s, this type of tourism has grown in Portugal, with the Douro river being increasingly used by curious tourists from all over the world. Thus, the choice of the problem addressed in this chapter arose from the meager existence of studies carried out so far. However, COVID-19 triggered an unprecedented global health and economic crisis with severe, and potentially structural, consequences for the cruise world (Papachristou, Pallis, & Vaggelas, 2020). According to Farzanegan, Gholipour, Feizi, Nunkoo, and Andargoli (2021), key cruise industry players such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian have witnessed a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases among passengers and crew members. This study’s main objective is to understand the impact of river tourism, particularly cruise ships, on the (post-pandemic crisis) development of the Alto Douro Wine Region. For this theme’s development, we chose to use a qualitative methodology, conducting four semi-structured interviews with participants directly or indirectly linked to the Douro River’s cruise ship industry.
- Advances in Tourism, Technology and SystemsPublication . Santos, VascoWine tourism has long since ceased to be just a visit to wine producing regions and wineries, just to taste or buy wine. In fact, wine tourism has become more complex as a tourist product, due to the requirement of visitors to obtain a differenti ated experience, composed of multiple elements Wine tourism activities consist of, above all, wine tastings and cellar, wine house and wine museum visits. Currently, and in the future, wine tourism has provided and boosted the creation of genuine and unique tourist experiences, more and more differentiated tailor-made. This prelim inary approach aims to evaluate the role of wine storytelling as an antecedent in the wine tourism experience, namely on other constructs as winescape attributes, sensorial attraction, wine excitement and cultural experience. A range of practical implications are provided for wine tourism managers, marketers and wine guided tours namely on the importance on the training the storytelling skill by the wine cellars staff. The new vogue of wine tourism forces us to challenge and re-visit the power relationships that exist within contemporary tourism and the host–guest relationship. As an interdisciplinary approach, this research contributes positively to the development of theory in relationship marketing and tourism contexts in wine management (theoretical implications). At the end, guidelines for future work will be presented.
- The Role of the Essential Manifold in Data Mining – An Introductory ApproachPublication . Pina, FátimaInterpolating data and the application of data mining tech niques in nonlinear manifolds plays a significant role in different areas of knowledge, ranging from computer vision and robotics, to industrial and medical requests, and these growing number of applications have sparked the research interest of the scientific community to these topics. The Gen eralized Essential manifold, briefly, Essential manifold, consisting of the product of the Grassmann manifold of all k-dimensional subspaces of Rn and the Lie group of rotations in Rn, for instance, plays an impor tant role in the problem of recovering the structure and motion from a sequence of images, also known as stereo matching, which is a crucial problem in image processing and computer vision. A well-known recur sive procedure to generate interpolating polynomial curves in Euclidean spaces is the classical De Casteljau algorithm, which is a simple and pow erful tool widely used in the field of Computer Aided Geometric Design, particularly because it is essentially geometrically based. This algorithm has been generalized to geodesically complete Riemannian manifolds. Thus, having this in mind, in this work we present all the ingredients for a detailed implementation of the generalized De Casteljau algorithm to generate geometric cubic polynomials in the Essential manifold preparing the ground to solve different real interpolation problems in this manifold
- The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Intergenerational DiversityPublication . Filipa Joaquim, AnaThe internet has become one of the most important commodity products in society. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most discussed topics in human resources. Nowadays, four or five generations in the workplace are working together. The young generation is born in a digital era, but the elderly are in an analogic era, so their skills and decision-making behaviors are different. The working values for inter generational workers are very different. Younger generations value their flexibility to fit their lives, once they believe that working careers are no longer their main goal in life, but the elderly have other values such as family time and flexible work provided by AI development. COVID-19 brings a new mainstream concept to the workplace, only possible through AI development. The effects of artificial intelligence and intergenerational diversity are fundamental topics that need to be discussed at a high level in institutions.
- Positive Leadership and the Quiet Quitting Movement in OrganizationsPublication . Filipa Joaquim, AnaThis chapter seeks to highlight the importance of positive leadership in combating the phenomenon of quiet quitting. This phenomenon is not new, but it has gone viral with the COVID-19 pandemic, being more ‘visible’ in the organizational context. Thus, the objective of this research is to identify the main advantages of positive leadership in mitigating the quiet quitting movement. The research methodology is qualitative and starts by conceptualizing and identifying the main causes and consequences of the quiet quitting movement. Afterwards, the advantages of positive leadership are identified and, finally, this leadership style is systematized in relation to happiness and well-being at work. This research thus integrates the positive leadership approach with practices to improve employee engagement and orga nizational culture, highlighting the importance of human resource management practices to attract, integrate and manage talent in companies.
- Media, Populism and CorruptionPublication . Filipa Joaquim, AnaAlthough not a recent phenomenon, populism has penetrated the governing hemicycles across Eu rope. According to Mudde (2019), Europe is experiencing the fourth wave of right-wing populism. Portugal was considered a European oasis until 2019—the year of the founding of the CHEGA party. Through the analysis of the television debates on national televisions in the course of the 2019 and 2022 legislative election campaigns, held by the party and the use of the social network Facebook, it is intended to understand to what extent the media have played a primary role in the upward concertation of CHEGA’s popularity by constantly spreading its claims and accusations against the established system.
- Entrepreneurship in Teaching - The Teaching of Economics A With the Application of Active Methodologies – Case StudyPublication . Filipa Joaquim, AnaIn Portugal, the teaching-learning process in high school education, in some matters, is “measured” by an external national exam classification. Consequently, many teachers believe that the teaching-learning process can only be accomplished through the expositive method, where the teacher is the primary vehicle for transferring the contents in a structured and organized way. However, this methodology does not equip students with critical thinking or mechanisms for problem-solving and, consequently, demotivates students. In the case study, students in extracurricular entrepreneurialism competitions and their evalu ation grades on formal curricula subjects improve. Students felt more motivated to learn and understood more about the world of work. This study will use a qualitative methodology supported by quantitative data to present the planning of tasks and procedures applied in this context.
