provincial centres (Centros Pensas) except Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique, one of Africa’s poorest countries.
pensas@MOZ also stands for its own proprietary Internet based platform (named Plataforma de Ensino Assistido or PEA), which integrates Information Technologies (IT) in a creative and multidisciplinary way, being the basis of various Assisted Learning and Teaching (ALT) activities. Suppressing time-space constraints, PEA fosters collaboration and exchange of resources and experiences among all education intervenients (teachers, students, parents and administrative officials), contributing to the development of new learning and teaching strategies and processes. As a repository, it houses multiple interactive digital contents including learning objects (LO’s), digital multimedia contents (DMC’s) and question generating models (QGM’s), based on Trees of Objectives (TO’s). These contents are compliant with other educational technologies (interactive boards, online
polls, etc.) and have been used in individual and group practice, diagnosis, evaluation and competition settings, providing immediate in-depth customized post-activity results.
Engaged in promoting technological and science culture in Maths, Biology, Physics and Portuguese language, the project’s intervention covers a wide range of activities: national web-based Maths and Physics annual competitions (EQUAmat@MOZ), supported by Mozambique’s government and Portuguese governmental cooperation program (Instituto Português do Apoio ao Desenvolvimento);educational and vocational programs for teachers and technical professionals (FORmat@MOZ),
namely in the development of the experimental teaching of sciences and the integration technology in daily activities; weekly collaborative activities (OUTclass) for mixed international primary school teams (a coalition between Escola Básica de Á-dos-Ferreiros, Junta de Freguesia do Préstimo and Externato
de Vila Meã in Portugal and Colégio Académico da Beira, in Mozambique) aiming at structured thinking and written expression improvement, using synchronous communication tools (SCT’s) and
promoting intercultural exchange; and international scientific and cultural events (biannual Math, Portuguese and Technology conference, accountancy and audit seminars, etc.).
This paper showcases pensas@MOZ’s activities and results, drawing from enquiries made to various stakeholders. Moreover, it documents a sustainable and social responsible strategy operation,
stemming from local competence development, in order to overcome the challenges derived from IT exclusion and globalization adaptation. Results account for a widespread support on a multi-leveled basis (international, national, regional and local), which are giving rise to further initiatives/projects.
Recognizing the increasingly decisive role of knowledge in organizational competitiveness, this article reviews the published research on transfer and utilization of knowledge in tourism, within the context of knowledge management. Stemming from references and citations of an initial set of academic papers, the articles selected (both empirical and literature reviews) were subject to documentary analysis. The results confirm previous diagnosis about the immaturity and lack of methodological sophistication on the issue, suggesting three thematic foci in the empirical articles: i) dissemination and perceptions about academic knowledge; ii) transfer of knowledge between organizations; and iii) determinants of knowledge transfer within organizations. The article concludes discussing the results, its implications and limitations, suggesting directions for future research.
O presente trabalho efetua uma releitura d’A Relíquia de Eça de Queirós a partir de uma perspetiva focada no estudo do Turismo, no contexto da literatura de viagens oitocentista e do percurso artístico do escritor, evidenciando as conexões entre este e a sua biografia.

Ainda que a investigação sobre Turismo abranja actualmente uma multiplicidade de áreas científicas e assuntos, o conhecimento acerca das suas características, evolução ou intervenientes permanece limitado. Assentando na análise do universo das teses de doutoramento e dissertações de mestrado sobre Turismo atribuídas em Portugal, o presente artigo estabelece um retrato pormenorizado da investigação académica realizada entre 1986 e 2008. Elaborando sobre as respectivas características gerais, desempenho institucional, cursos, áreas disciplinares, assuntos, focalização geográfica, orientação e apoio à investigação, os resultados indiciam estreitas similaridades entre Portugal e outros países, ainda que denunciem um desempenho modesto."
Montras de investigação avançada e reflexão, as revistas periódicas académicas desempenham um papel fundamental no progresso da Ciência, com implicações na vida das instituições e no reconhecimento profissional dos autores. Reflectindo a rápida expansão do Turismo nas últimas décadas, os títulos desta área contribuem simultaneamente para a difusão do conhecimento "turístico" e para a sua afirmação académica. O propósito principal deste artigo consiste na replicação de um estudo de Sheldon (1991), actualizado por Jogaratnam et al. (2005), sobre a autoria em três das mais proeminentes publicações periódicas internacionais na área do Turismo, aplicando-o à Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento (RT&D). Para o efeito foi construída uma base de dados com a informação sobre os artigos publicados na secção "Artigos Científicos". Os resultados equiparam a RT&D às congéneres internacionais, tanto no que respeita aos autores, como às respectivas instituições de filiação, mas também revelam uma insuficiente representação dos sectores além da esfera académica.

While many itineraries have explored authors' biographies, resulting in an abundance of related studies, fewer have been developed based on a single work. Consequently, it remains an under researched topic, requiring more scientific inquiry about this emerging business activity.
Apart from the ongoing disputes about its authorship and its historical relevance, this paper seeks to highlight how William Shakespeare’s plays have crossed the centuries while remaining an incisive portrayal of human nature. Whether re-enacted, filmed or published, these works continue to be synonyms of success and can be considered an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. In his plays, both his fans and the casual reader are recurrently invited to a journey not just through the places described, but mostly about the social praxis revealed by his stories. 400 years passed, his works continue to deserve admiration and enthusiasm to the extent that, in essence, they depict human relationships and those remain similar, regardless of time and space.
Following evidence from experimental research covering the visitation, observation and short interviews carried on in locations alluded to in two contemporary bestsellers – Paulo Coelho’s “The Pilgrimage” and Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” –this paper addresses William Shakespeare’s "The Merchant of Venice", which takes place in one of the world’s most romantic cities, once a city-state, full of historical and cultural meanings. Aiming for a comparison between the author’s description and present-day Venice, it focuses on the narratives tourists create from their personal experience.

A presente dissertação analisa a investigação científica sobre o Turismo produzida no âmbito dos cursos de pós-graduação (mestrados e doutoramentos) realizados em instituições de ensino superior portuguesas ou nelas tendo obtido equivalência, situando o correspondente perfil no contexto alargado da investigação turística. Compreendendo o levantamento integral daqueles graus a nível nacional, a análise de conteúdo foi aplicada aos registos compilados numa base de dados construída para o efeito, através da consulta de catálogos bibliográficos em linha e complementada por sucessivas rondas contactos directos com aquelas instituições e com os orientadores envolvidos. Os resultados apurados sugerem uma consonância da situação portuguesa apurada com a realidade internacional, não obstante um “despertar” mais tardio da comunidade científica nacional para o seu estudo e da ainda reduzida expressão alcançada. Além da equiparação verificada ao nível da concentração da representação em termos temporais, institucionais, disciplinares e temáticos, é ainda notada a incipiência das dinâmicas colaborativas. No contexto do apoio à investigação, verifica-se uma ampliação das assimetrias identificadas, reflectindo uma perspectiva economicista e operacional. Quanto às limitações constatadas, reconhece-se a natureza parcelar dos dados em que assenta e o carácter quantitativo da análise efectuada, baseando-se nos produtos duma única modalidade investigativa, não aprofundando os factores explicativos dos desempenhos apurados.
