- Not in my (media) backyard: Climate justice and global media political economyPublication . Fernandes, AdalbertoJournalism's economic crisis affecting the Global South and Semi-Peripheral countries has made them more vulnerable to the mainstream media conglomerates from the Global North. The control of global agendas of information is also an opportunity to influence the political narrative about responsibilities regarding climate change. The objective of this research is to analyse how CNN Brazil and CNN Portugal depict the US climate crisis and to evaluate the influence of CNN's presence in these countries. A qualitative critical discourse analysis suggests that the US is presented as the primordial victim of climate change, being the climate change portrayed as an abstract entity that is non-politically culpable for the catastrophe. Also, the expansion of CNN has reduced Brazilian and Portuguese newsrooms to a translational work of news originally made by CNN headquarters, which is sometimes unethically disguised as original journalistic work. However, there are, even if rare, signs of resistance that read the US crisis through Brazilian and Portuguese concerns.
- Impacto do programa de formação e apoio familiar nas competências parentais e na qualidade de vida infantil percebida em Cabo-VerdePublication . Gageiro Correia, Adriana Sofia; Nunes, Cristina; Martins Marotta, Gabriela; Lopes, Mariana; Martins, Cátia; Hidalgo, Victoria; Neves de Jesus, SaúlO programa de Formação e Apoio Familiar (FAF) é uma intervenção desenhada com a finalidade de promover a parentalidade positiva e prevenir o maltrato infantil. Este estudo pretende descrever alguns dados preliminares da sua implementação com famílias em risco psicossocial da Ilha da Boavista, Cabo Verde, e analisar se existe ou não uma melhoria nos domínios das competências parentais e da qualidade de vida infantil. O FAF foi dinamizado em 12 sessões grupais, com uma metodologia experiencial e participativa, numa periocidade semanal, durante quatro meses. Participaram 66 pais, maioritariamente mães (85%), com idades entre os 26 e os 56 anos (M = 35.53; DP = 7.27), distribuídos em dois grupos (de intervenção e de controlo). A avaliação foi realizada no pré e pós- -teste. O grupo de intervenção melhorou significativamente as suas pontuações após a intervenção na perceção da eficácia, da satisfação parental e na qualidade de vida das crianças, com um tamanho de efeito moderado. O grupo de controlo não apresentou diferenças significativas entre momentos. O FAF é um programa de intervenção para o desenvolvimento da parentalidade positiva, que promove os sentimentos de eficácia parental e a satisfação parental, o que consequentemente se traduz também em melhores resultados para o desenvolvimento e bem-estar infantil nas famílias em risco psicossocial.
- Sustainability in business events: How hybrid formats shape attendee decision-makingPublication . Santos, José António C.; Fernández Gámez, Manuel Ángel; Puig-Cabrera, Miguel; Custódio Santos, MargaridaThis study explores how the availability of hybrid business event formats influences attendees' decision-making concerning sustainable practices, addressing a gap in understanding how hybrid formats impact participation choices in the context of sustainability. The research specifically aims to examine how sustainability practices in accommodation, transportation, catering, and venue selection affect the likelihood of on-site attendance and how the option of hybrid participation shifts preferences toward virtual engagement. Data was collected from 533 international business event attendees, and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used for analysis. The findings reveal that hybrid events, while promoting inclusivity and reducing environmental impacts, often lead to increased online participation, particularly among attendees with strong environmental concerns. Even when sustainable practices are implemented on-site, many participants prefer virtual options to minimise their carbon footprint further. This poses a challenge for event organisers striving to balance sustainability goals with the need to maintain physical attendance to keep the business industry running. The study offers practical recommendations for organising more sustainable and inclusive events, emphasising the importance of integrating green practices while leveraging hybrid formats to meet evolving participant preferences. These insights are crucial for guiding the future of sustainable event planning in the business events industry.
- Multicriteria decision for selecting tourist destinations and increase its competitivenessPublication . Vanti, Adolfo; Solana-González, Pedro; Ramos, CeliaThe competitiveness of a tourist destination is related to its capacity to present products and services better than others, providing tourist experiences that meet the preferences of those who demand them. However, how tourists decide which destination to visit is a question that needs to be answered to support all destination stakeholders, and this is the aim of this research. This paper uses the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making approach to prioritise the types of tourism. The method applied is the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and the results showed the greater importance of the criteria of rest/simplicity and cultural difference. As for the tourist destinations, the most relevant in order of priority were Cruise tourism followed by Art/culture tourism, showing that these two types of tourism must be combined in a co-competition
- Exploring biosensors’ scientific production and research patterns: a bibliometric analysisPublication . Valente, Bernardo; Pinto, Hugo; Pereira, Tiago Santos; Campos, RitaMore sustainable biosensor production is growing in importance, allowing for the development of technological solutions for several industries, such as those in the health, chemical, and food sectors. Tracking the latest advancements in biosensors’ scientific production is fundamental to determining the opportunities for the future of the biosensing field. This article aims to map scientific production in the biosensors field by running a bibliometric analysis of journal articles registered in the Web of Science database under biosensor-related vital concepts. The key concepts were selected by researchers and biosensor technology developers working on the Bio Assembler Horizon project. The findings lead to identifying the scientific and technological knowledge base on biosensing devices and tracking the main scientific organizations developing this technology throughout the COVID-19 period (2019–2023). The institutional origin of the publications characterized the global distribution of related knowledge competencies and research partnerships. These results are discussed, shedding light on the scientific, economic, political, and structural factors that contribute to the formation of a scientific knowledge-based focus on the performance and design of these sensors. Moreover, the lack of scientific ties between the three axes of organizations producing expertise in this area (China, USA, and Russia) points towards the need to find synergies through new mechanisms of co-authorship and collaboration.
- Developing a hetero-intelligence methodological framework for sustainable policy-making based on the assessment of large language modelsPublication . Buitrago Esquinas, Eva María; Puig-Cabrera, Miguel; Santos, José António C.; Custódio Santos, Margarida; Yñiguez, RocíoThis work delves into the increasing relevance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the realm of sustainable policy-making, proposing an innovative hetero-intelligence framework that blends human and artificial intelligence (AI) for tackling modern sustainability challenges. The research methodology includes a hetero-intelligence performance test, which juxtaposes human intelligence with AI in the formulation and implementation of sustainable policies. After testing this hetero-intelligence methodology, seven steps are rigorously described so that it can be replicated in any sustainability planning related context. The results underscore the capabilities and limitations of LLMs, underscoring the critical role of human intelligence in enhancing the efficacy of hetero-intelligence systems. This work fulfils the need of a rigorous methodological framework based on empirical steps that can provide unbiased outcomes to be integrated into sustainable planning and decision-making processes.
- Development and assessment of a carpooling applied system: Perspective of users from public-education sectorPublication . Delgado-Fernández, Vicente; Rey-Merchán, María del Carmen; Pires Rosa, ManuelaThe heavy reliance on private cars is linked not only to harmful environmental impacts, such as gas emissions and global warming, but also to other issues like traffic congestion, road infrastructure maintenance, and the limited availability of parking spaces—significant concerns in many cities. To address these challenges, carpooling has been shown to be an effective solution, as it directly reduces emissions, alleviates congestion, and mitigates the environmental effects of transportation.The aim of this research is to enhance the understanding of carpooling in our society. To achieve this, a carpooling initiative among teachers for their commuting journeys was developed and implemented, followed by an evaluation of the system by a panel of experts. The results showed a 31.9% reduction in the number of cars on the road among participants, with a total of 109,080 km saved based on the reduced number of vehicles.The primary motivation for participants to adopt carpooling was fuel savings, while the reduction of physical fatigue from driving was identified as the second most important factor. Although some barriers to participation were identified, their impact was generally lower than that of the perceived benefits. These findings suggest that carpooling programs should focus on optimizing matching conditions and addressing individual concerns to promote wider adoption.
- The development and trial of beyond 2050 polylogues as a tool for future-thinking in business tourismPublication . Ormerod, Neil; Isaac, Samantha; Wood, Emma Harriet; Calver, Julia; Musgrave, James; Bowdin, Glenn A. J.; Sterchele, DavideIn this methodology research letter, we describe the development, piloting and large-scale trial of an experimental concurrent group discussion approach. Specifically, we detail how we used provocative 2050 scenarios to ‘open up’ future thinking, facilitate multiple polylogues and efficiently collect large sample qualitative data. The method was trialled with 120 business tourism professionals at the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) conference in Glasgow in 2023. We conclude by reflecting on our learning from the large-scale trial and consider how this method can be developed for other tourism research applications.
- Lessons from the impact of global and domestic economic crises on tourists’ behaviourPublication . Cesário, Marisa; Barreira, Ana PaulaEconomic crises have been demonstrated to have profound consequences on the tourism industry. Insights from previous global economic and financial crises can provide valuable perspectives on the economic crisis accompanying the war in Eastern Europe. Through a survey conducted during the off-peak seasons of 2008, 2009/2010, and 2010/2011, we compared satisfaction with the attributes of the Algarve—a region globally recognized by the 3S’s— before global and domestic crises and after the global crisis. Our findings reveal that the international and domestic crises have not affected the image of the Algarve. However, this observation conceals shifts in how tourists perceive the destination's attributes. The valuation of accommodations and beaches declined between the pre and post-global crises. At the same time, the friendliness of locals and safety were more negatively impacted when comparing tourists’ assessments before the domestic crisis and after the global crisis. Results indicate that price reduction strategies adversely affect tourists’ assessments of the "value for money." This impact is more pronounced for tourists with higher education levels, who employ fewer "slicing" strategies. Furthermore, non-sovereign debt tourists appear to be more dissatisfied with a price reduction policy, possibly due to changes in the composition and quality of the offered packages.
- Sensory experiences in heritage contexts: a qualitative approachPublication . Bender, Ana Carolina; Martins Guerreiro, Maria Manuela; MIGUEL AGAPITO, DORA LÚCIA; Sequeira, Bernardete; da Costa Mendes, JúlioThis study explores the sensory experience at heritage sites from the visitors' perspective. A qualitative and exploratory approach was used, considering two data collection methods: semi-structured interviews and in situ focus groups. This empirical study was conducted in the Algarve region, a southern Portugal's sea and sun destination. The data was compiled and analyzed through a thematic content with QSR NVivo 12. The findings suggest that managers should explore and understand tangible, intangible (or immaterial) elements that influence visitors' experiences, attitudes, and behaviours toward the physical environment. In this sense, managers must converge efforts to highlight the sensory cues intrinsic to each site. Furthermore, considering the scarce research addressing sensory experiences in heritage contexts, this study contributes to the literature by exploring the role of the sensory dimension of experiencing a monument that is one of the main attractions in a seasonal mass tourism destination. A framework is presented, which can help managers to design sensory experiences in a built heritage context and assist researchers in future studies. In addition to that, this research also provides some practical implications for management and depicts several leads to future research.
