This study aims to explore how Feliseu and Anfatrião's masculine subjectivity develops around the tension between their desires and wants and the inevitability of the sixteenth-century hegemonic ideals of "being a man". If Feliseu's case shows the intricacies of seduction, even endowed with a homosocial character, and unveils the possible masculine sufferings due to matrimony's patriarchal definition, Anfatrião's story reveals how a present suffering could be profitable in the future, specially when the reward is an affiliation to an ideal of masculinity impossible to achieve without divine aid. Description: As personagens masculinas principais das duas narrativas do Auto dos Enfatriões, Feliseu e Anfatrião, demonstram, com os seus ditos e feitos, o funcionamento de duas importantes categorias da masculinidade: a sedução e a honra. Este estudo pretende explorar como a subjetividade masculina de Feliseu e Anfatrião se desenvolve em torno da tensão entre os seus desejos e vontades e a inevitabilidade dos ideais hegemónicos de "ser homem" no século XVI. Se o caso de Feliseu demonstra as complexidades da sedução, dotada até de um caráter homossocial, e desvenda os possíveis sofrimentos masculinos devido à definição patriarcal do matrimónio, a estória de Anfatrião revela como um sofrimento presente pode ser proveitoso no futuro, especialmente quando a recompensa é uma filiação a um ideal de masculinidade impossível de alcançar sem auxílio divino.

Design/methodology/approach: This study adopts a case study design with purposive sampling of H&M Group and Inditex. Data comprise publicly available corporate communication materials (annual reports, sustainability reports and corporate websites) published between 2019 and 2023, analyzed through content and comparative analysis. Findings: The results show that both companies' strategies revolve around three pillars: transparency, responsibility and circularity. Reports provide more detailed technical information, while websites emphasize consumer awareness and stakeholder engagement. However, neither company applies a clear and comparable measurement framework for sustainability performance, and Inditex in particular was found to lack sufficient transparency. Research limitations/implications: This study focuses exclusively on publicly available corporate materials, excluding other communication channels such as social media or press releases. Practical implications: The findings offer insights for global fashion brands into how communication strategies can strengthen credibility in sustainability narratives and help mitigate reputational risks associated with greenwashing. Social implications: By highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability, this study underscores the role of communication in shaping consumer trust and advancing sustainable practices in the fashion industry, particularly in Asian production contexts. Originality/value: This study provides a communication-focused comparison of how leading fast-fashion companies address greenwashing through formal corporate disclosures. It conceptualizes sustainability communication as legitimacy management and identifies recurring strategic patterns - transparency, responsibility and circularity - while exposing limitations in measurement and comparability that affect the credibility of sustainability claims.

However, studies remain scarce, particularly in Portugal. To contribute to this field, we present the results of a comparative analysis of the lexical availability of 18 second-year students enrolled in the Master's Degree in Spanish Teacher Training at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Porto (n=9) and the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of the New University of Lisbon (n=9). In line with previous studies carried out in the same geographical context and following the standard methodology in lexical-availability research, data were elicited in Portuguese (native language) and Spanish (foreign language) using five pedagogical-didactic semantic prompts. For comparability with previous work, this paper adopts a mixed-methods perspective but analyses only the prompt "Education" (both in Portuguese and in Spanish). The results reveal quantitative differences in the vocabulary produced by the two groups in both languages, as well as points of convergence at a qualitative level and a high lexical availability index for the semantic prompt analysed. Although limited in scope, these findings highlight the importance of initial teacher education in shaping the specialised lexical repertoire of the pre-service teachers surveyed. Description: ES: Se está consolidando recientemente una línea científica centrada en el léxico disponible del futuro profesorado, en lengua materna y en lengua extranjera, aunque los estudios siguen escaseando, especialmente en Portugal. Para reforzar este campo, presentamos los resultados de una investigación en la que se ha analizado comparativamente el léxico disponible de 18 estudiantes de 2.º curso del Máster en Formación del Profesorado de Español impartido en la Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto (n=9) y la Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (n=9). En convergencia con trabajos previos realizados en el mismo contexto geográfico y adoptando la metodología habitual del área, se han obtenido datos −en portugués lengua materna y en español lengua extranjera− en cinco centros de interés de índole pedagógico-didáctica diferentes, aunque en este trabajo estudiamos −mediante un enfoque mixto− solo el estímulo "Educação/Educación", para facilitar la comparabilidad con trabajos previos. Los resultados apuntan a diferencias cuantitativas en el léxico movilizado por ambos grupos de informantes en ambas lenguas, pero también revelan coincidencias a nivel cualitativo y un elevado índice de disponibilidad léxica en el estímulo semántico examinado. Estos hallazgos, aunque limitados, ponen en valor el peso de la formación inicial en la configuración del léxico disponible especializado de los futuros profesores encuestados.

In the Portuguese case, it is possible to trace several examples «embodied» by female figures of aristocratic origin, whose memory was recorded by several authors, in a hagiographic tone, despite the fact that many of these characters were neither beatified nor canonized. Against this background, this article seeks to study the patterns in which the fama sanctitatis of D. Constança Sanches and D. Teresa Martins was constructed and its reception in the Modern Period, through the analysis of several sources. The investment in the promotion of their «sanctity» increased between the end of the 16th century and the middle of the 18th century, a process that is in tune with the context of the so-called Counter-Reformation and has parallels with other cases of medieval figures. Description: A santidade nobiliária inscreve-se numa longa tradição, segundo a qual existia um vínculo entre nobreza de nascimento e a nobreza de carácter. No caso português, é possível rastrear vários exemplos «corporizados» por figuras femininas de origem aristocrática, cuja memória foi registada por vários autores, em tónica hagiográfica, pese embora o facto de muitas destas personagens não terem sido nem beatificadas nem canonizadas. Tendo como pano de fundo esta problemática, este artigo procura estudar os moldes que se processou a construção da fama sanctitatis de D. Constança Sanches e de D. Teresa Martins e a sua receção na Época Moderna, através da análise de várias fontes. O investimento na promoção da sua «santidade» acentua-se entre finais do século XVI e meados do XVIII, processo que está em sintonia com o contexto da chamada Contrarreforma e tem paralelo com outros casos de figuras medievais.

This collaborative sense of authorship has been especially appealing to the digital sensibility of recent decades, as more writers turn to computational tools to automatically recombine existing sources and generate probabilistic texts, with or without the subjective input of human composition. More recently, there has also been accelerated progress towards processing a type of Artificial Creative Intelligence, in which men and machines collaborate closely, disrupting romantic notions of authorship, legally anchored in the thresholds of originality. The present article addresses epistemic concerns arising from debates in the international literary scene about generative AI, integrating these discussions into a broader historical perspective on the ongoing conceptual transformations of authorship. Description: As experiências de composição textual algorítmica, que pontuam o discurso digital contemporâneo, inscrevem-se numa longa linhagem de retroações generativas entre atos de escrita e leitura, cujas origens distantes podemos remontar ao período medieval e ao início da Idade Moderna, com antecedentes mais diretos nas vanguardas novecentistas da década de 1920 e na geração beat de William Burroughs, para quem o texto não passava de uma colagem de palavras (tres)lidas algures. Esta noção colaborativa de autoria tem sido especialmente apelativa à sensibilidade digital das últimas décadas, na medida em que muitos escritores recorrem a programas e ferramentas computacionais para recombinar automaticamente fontes existentes e gerar textos probabilísticos, com ou sem a interferência subjetiva da composição humana. Mais recentemente, têm-se dado também passos acelerados para o processamento de um tipo de Inteligência Criativa Artificial, em que homens e máquinas colaboram intimamente, desestabilizando noções românticas de autoria, legalmente ancoradas no princípio de limiar de originalidade.

Developed within the context of a doctoral research project, the tool aims to unlock the initial stages of GBL design, enabling participants to produce a concise game concept that can serve as the foundation for subsequent development phases. The results obtained from its experimentation indicate high levels of satisfaction regarding the tool's effectiveness, particularly in terms of defining learning outcomes to be obtained, participant engagement, and its capacity to stimulate idea generation. Participants also expressed strong recommendations for its use in future brainstorming sessions. Although further iterations are still required, Gamify Away is believed to be applicable across various contexts and domains, helping to enhance initial approaches to creating GBL experiences.

This article addresses that gap, discussing the extent to which specific types of organizational culture favour the experience of implementing the 4-day workweek and the tensions that surround it.Design/methodology/approachThis article is based on a case study exploring how the uneven implementation of a 4-day workweek in a small company relates to organizational cultures and their tense dynamics. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and an organizational culture assessment instrument.FindingsThis case study reveals that the uneven implementation of the 4-day workweek is favoured by the hybrid organizational culture of a small company, combining tradition and innovation leadership styles. It discusses a double tension between current and preferred organizational cultures, as well as inside the existing hybrid organizational culture, which managed to accommodate both 4-day and 5-day working formats.Originality/valueThis study outlines the underexplored scientific area of organizational cultures in leveraging the 4-day workweek and the tensions that arise from running through it. In addition, it offers insights for organizations and practitioners' debate because it discusses an uneven experience of implementing the 4-day workweek as it includes workers who joined, declined or were excluded from the 4-day format by a unilateral decision of the administration.

However, concerns about the accuracy of science content shared on the platform have emerged, prompting this study to investigate the reliability of informal science communication by popular creators. Informal science communication is the casual sharing of scientific information on platforms like TikTok. The main objective is to assess how well this content adheres to established scientific principles and avoids misinformation. By analysing videos from creators with significant followings, we will evaluate their adherence to scientific accuracy and identify factors that influence it, such as the creators' backgrounds and platform algorithms. The findings will highlight trends in the accuracy of content, with some creators producing reliable information while others risk spreading misinformation. Ultimately, the research will provide recommendations for enhancing the accuracy of science content on TikTok, promoting critical thinking among viewers, and advancing informed science communication on social media.

While industry workflows are rapidly incorporating these technologies, creative education often fluctuates between institutional bans and curricular integration. This study investigates how higher education in Art and Design is adapting to the advent of generative AI. Using a three-dimensional methodology: pedagogical, instrumental, and logistical, the research performed a content analysis of curricula from the top 10 QS-ranked Art and Design institutions alongside an evaluation of industry-standard software. The findings reveal a substantial adoption gap; of the 645 programmes assessed, only 7% explicitly mention AI in their curricula. Furthermore, the study examines how software-based teaching, combined with adaptive AI, redefines creative workflows and identifies the infrastructure required for seamless institutional integration. Consequently, this paper proposes a framework for responsible AI integration designed to bridge the divide between industry advancement and pedagogical practice. The research concludes by discussing the transformative impact of generative AI on the fundamental concepts of originality, individuality, and creativity in the design process.

The study adopts a qualitative, exploratory methodology grounded in Value Sensitive Design and Human-Machine Communication. Empirical data were collected through a co-design workshop, focus group discussions, empathy map exercises, and descriptive questionnaires with elderly caregivers in a rural Portuguese context. Rather than aiming for statistical generalization, the research prioritizes contextual understanding and value articulation. The findings reveal that caregivers evaluate AI-supported fact-checking solutions not only in terms of informational accuracy, but also through ethical considerations such as protection, inclusion, trustworthiness, and perceived legitimacy. Differences between traditional journalistic approaches, automated AI solutions, and visual or animated formats were less salient than participants' interpretations of how these tools aligned with their lived experiences and communicative norms. By foregrounding the perspectives of caregivers in a socioeconomically constrained setting, this study contributes empirically grounded insights to debates in AI ethics and responsible AI design. It highlights the importance of culturally sensitive, user-centered approaches when deploying AI technologies in health communication and misinformation management, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Understanding the dominant weather patterns (WPs) linked to coastal hazards is essential for improving forecasting capabilities and enabling proactive disaster risk reduction. This study identifies the primary WPs associated with coastal disasters along the Santa Catarina coast, Southern Brazil, between 1998 and 2020. Disaster dates were derived from the Disaster Information Form (FIDES) and the Damage Assessment Form (AVADAN), resulting in a validated dataset of 105 coastal disaster events. A clustering approach based on the K-Means algorithm was applied to atmospheric and oceanographic variables, including geopotential height at 1000 hPa, zonal and meridional wind components (from ERA5 reanalysis), and significant wave height (Hs) from WAVERYS. The analysis identified five distinct WPs responsible for driving coastal disasters in the region, predominantly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems. The most recurrent pattern was linked to a cyclonic system near the southern Brazilian coast, producing high-energy wave events affecting multiple coastal sectors. Another critical WP was characterized by the persistence of an intensified high-pressure system, generating widespread impacts across the entire coastline. Seasonal variability was evident, with autumn recording the highest frequency of disaster events. The spatial distribution of damages revealed that the northern sector, despite experiencing lower wave heights, was more vulnerable due to the lack of coastal natural protective features. In contrast, the southern sector, protected by extensive dune systems, reported fewer but economically significant impacts. The findings underscore the importance of integrating synoptic-scale pattern recognition into early warning systems and coastal management practices, providing a scientific basis for risk-informed decision-making, disaster preparedness, and adaptation strategies.

All case studies were developed in Porto, Portugal, between 2013 and 2020, focusing on the citys invisibilities and everyday experiences, searching for alternative narratives to the mainstream media when portraying its people and places. This article aims to reflect on how authorial documentary work, followed by self-criticism and self-reflection, can be incorporated into participatory media frameworks in productive ways. The challenges faced by the three cases are intrinsically related and have influenced each other throughout this period, addressing issues related to the representational crisis; the legitimation of subjectivity and the exploration of different styles within documentary; as well as the relationships between the filmmaker, the camera, the subject/character portrayed and the audience. These themes are explored through a series of first-person field reports and the study of authors and directors in the field of documentary filmmaking. (c) 2024 The Author(s).

The materialisation of pedagogic rights is a basic condition for guaranteeing students a socially just and democratic educational experience. Addressing Bernstein's three pedagogic rights - enhancement, inclusion, and participation - the research aimed to establish potential points of contact between the studies carried out, which would make it possible to understand the conditions that promote (or limit) students' access to pedagogic rights in a school context, as well as to reflect on the consequences they identify concerning whether or not these rights are guaranteed. Following the PRISMA protocol, the search was employed on the Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and EBSCO databases. Of the 1092 studies identified, 21 were considered for analysis. Among other things, the results showed a notable geographical dispersion and an eminently qualitative tendency in the studies that collected empirical material; the findings were that the distribution of pedagogic rights tends to be insufficient in educational contexts, being lower in marginalised or vulnerable environments; and that non-commitment to these rights seems to encourage the tendency to reproduce the social order in educational contexts.

However, education today is faced with new challenges, related to algorithms, disinformation, and artificial intelligence, which can change the relationship between knowledge and knowers. To respond to these challenges, in this article, we suggest a new approach to this debate, focused on what we define as powerful thinking. We construct this concept from a reinterpretation of Kohlberg's theory of moral development, in communication with Damasio's perspectives regarding the construction of knowing, Bernstein's concept of pedagogic rights, and his thoughts regarding school (un)success. It also involves a reframing of the power inherent in powerful knowledge, transporting it to the realm of reasoning. Thus, we arrive at a conception of powerful thinking, based on a dialectical relationship between the different levels of defined reasoning structures-preconventional, conventional, and postconventional-which become increasingly elaborate throughout this dialectic. With this theoretical essay, we hope to contribute to a deeper discussion about curriculum and learning, following the transformative potential that schools can have in the development and emancipation of each individual in these challenging times.

The general objective of this study is to analyse the contents of 24 CLIL textbooks used in the teaching and learning of the subject of Biology and Geology as an academic discipline in the region of Andalusia (Spain) in order to identify their internal coherence with respect to the methodological principles related to the cognitive discourse functions (CDFs) and the textual genres that predominate in the work plans- namely, tasks, activities and academic questions- present in these textbooks that characterize the subject of Biology and Geology. To address the research questions, a quantitative analysis was conducted. Overall, in relation to the text genres present in most work plans (tasks, activities and questions) no text genre was specified; moreover, results also reveal a preponderance of the CDF "describe". The implications of the results are that sole reliance on textbooks could be detrimental to the development of academic literacy if CDFs and genres to which students should be exposed are limited.

Using a qualitative approach, the study examines the questions that explicitly require the comparison of contrasting perspectives, assessing the level of cognitive complexity demanded in student responses. The findings indicate that, although multiperspectivity is a consistent feature of the exams, the depth of engagement varies significantly, ranging from simple tasks focused on identifying differences (the majority) to more demanding exercises requiring critical analysis and historical contextualization. It is concluded that, despite its regular inclusion, there is still room to enhance the critical use of multiperspectivity in exams, to foster more reflective and complex historical thinking Description: ES: Este estudio analiza la presencia y la operacionalización de la multiperspectividad en los exámenes nacionales de Historia A en Portugal, aplicados entre 2018 y 2024, en sus dos fases.

Se concluye que, a pesar de su presencia regular, existe margen para profundizar en el uso crítico de la multiperspectividad en los exámenes, promoviendo un pensamiento histórico más reflexivo y complejo Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173695 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/119742 Title: The song is still a 'weapon': the portuguese identity in times of crises Abstract: This article examines a set of Portuguese songs that 'sing' the economic, financial and social crises in Portugal in the post-2008 period. This work underlies a heuristic principle: to demonstrate how artistic manifestations-in this case, the songs in several (sub-)genres of popular music-are themselves a means and an object of social intervention, demarcating a specific, defined space in the acknowledgment and revelation of social problems, and in the contestation, deconstruction and accusation of problems that deal with social reality. We demonstrate that these songs seek to denounce and sometimes incite social change with the aim of creating transformation. They are therefore signs of a specific space-identity producers-and not just an echo of social reality. Insurgent songs instigate readings, narratives and deconstructions of reality, and they are simultaneously significant elements of a collective identity.
