We aim to present, in a clear and objective manner, information that enables all of those potentially interested in understand the Portuguese higher education system, in particular, with regards to the recognition of foreign qualifications, thus contributing to the integration of foreign students and graduates who seek Portugal as their host country. We chose to organize this guide by chapters in order to ease the access to its contents by a larger audience. There was an effort to include in the annex a synthesis of the most recent legal framework regarding the higher education system, the most relevant legal diplomas on recognition of foreign higher qualifications as well as a list of higher education institutions that have been recognized by MCTES.

Environmental Literacy in Madeira Island (Portugal): the Influence of Demographic Variables
International Electronic Journal of Environmental Education Vol.6, Issue 2, 2016, 92-107 RESEARCH ARTICLE Environmental literacy in Madeira Island (Portugal): The influence of Demographic Variables Hélder SPÍNOLA* The University of Madeira, Funchal, PORTUGAL To cite this article: Spinola, H. (2016). Environmental literacy in Madeira Island (Portugal): The influence of demographic variables. International Electronic Journal of Environmental Education, 6(2), 92-107. Abstract Demographic factors are among those that influence environmental literacy and, particularly, environmentally responsible behaviours, either directly or due to an aggregation effect dependent on other types of variables. Present study evaluates a set of demographic variables as predictors for environmental literacy among 9th grade students from Madeira Island (Portugal). Through a survey involving 491 students, gender, place of residence (rural and urban), 8th grade Natural Sciences discipline performance, participation in school’s environmental activities and, indirectly, socio-economic status were evaluated in their association to environmental literacy and, particularly, to each of its three main components: knowledge, attitude and behaviour. The results confirm three stronger environmental literacy predictors: rural or urban residence, depending on the components considered, higher marks in 8th grade Natural Sciences discipline and higher socio-economic status; and two weaker: female and participation in school’s environmental activities. Our findings found support in previous studies and underline the need to center socio-demographic factors in environmental education practices. Considering demographic variables as the reflex of environmental, economic and socio-cultural contexts, our results corroborate an environmental literacy’s construction framework on the light of Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory of human learning, in which real learning contexts play a fundamental role.

Almeida, PhD, Felipe Lobelo, MD, and Marsha Dowda, DrPH Arnold School of Public Health (Pate, Colabianchi, Porter, Lobelo, Dowda), University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina; and the University of Madeira (Almeida), Funchal, Portugal Abstract Background—Physical activity behavior is influenced by a person's physical environment, but few studies have used objective measures to study the influences of the physical environment on physical activity behavior in youth. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between selected neighborhood physical activity resources and physical activity levels in high school girls. Methods—Participants were students in schools that had participated in a large physical activity intervention trial. The 3-Day Physical Activity Recall was completed by 1506 12th-grade girls. Data on physical activity facilities and resources in the participating communities were collected using a variety of methods. Physical activity resources within a 0.75-mile street-network buffer around each girl's home were counted using ArcGIS, version 9.1. Mixed-model regression models were used to determine if there was a relationship between three physical activity variables and the number of physical activity resources within the 0.75-mile buffer. Data were collected in 2002–2003 and analyzed in 2006–2007.

Theme and Variation: Usability in a Post-Waterfall World
Theme and Variation: Usability in a Post-Waterfall World Larry Constantine Department of Mathematics and Engineering University of Madeira Campus Universitário da Penteada 9000-390 Funchal, Portugal Phone: +351 291705281 Fax: +351 291705199 [email protected] ABSTRACT The shortening of product life cycles, the advent of rapid iterative techniques, and the rise of agile methods all strain conventional approaches to usability evaluation and interaction design. To function effectively in this changing context, professionals must go beyond time-and-resource intensive conventional methods, such as elaborate ethnographic inquiry, full upfront design, and in-depth user testing to broaden their perspective and practices. This keynote will challenge conventional thinking about usability evaluation and design and consider the role of a range of streamlined approaches that might better fit modern design and development processes. These include model-driven inquiry, small-N and single-subject user testing, design metrics and predictive measures, and usability inspections and peer reviews. BIOGRAPHY Larry Constantine, IDSA, is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Engineering and Director of the Laboratory for Usage- centered Software Engineering at the University of Madeira, Portugal. An ACM Fellow recognized for his contributions to software design, he is regarded as one of the pioneers of modern software engineering theory and practice. An award-winning designer specializing in interaction design and techniques for enhancing user performance in safety-critical applications, he is a persistent innovator with a number of patents in human-machine interaction to his credit. His publications include more than 175 articles and papers and 17 books in both the human sciences and computer sciences.

Photography and History (Funchal, 15-17 Dec 21)
Photography and History (Funchal, 15-17 Dec 21) Funchal (Portugal), Dec 15–17, 2021 Deadline: Jul 1, 2021 Organizing Committee International Conference Photography and History 15, 16 and 17 December 2021 - FUNCHAL Colégio dos Jesuítas – University of Madeira (UMa) Museum of Photography Madeira – Atelier Vicente’s The International Conference Photography and History is promoted by the Regional Secretariat for Tourism and Culture and the Regional Directorate for Culture / Museum of Photography of Madeira – Atelier Vicente’s, and is co-organized by NOVA Institute of Communication / EVAM Observatory and the University of Madeira / Culture Council. The relationship between the photographic medium and the discipline of history has been a topic for theoretical speculation and a source for analogies and rapprochements since the second half of the 19th century. However, the debate around the role of images in historiography implies also countless frictions and silences. If due to its acknowledged transparency and realism photography is apparently a privileged index, being frequently considered a paradigm for the craft of the historian, however, due to its stillness and fragmentary characteristics technical images have generate throughout the 20th century a considerable heuristic suspicion. Even though photography has been mostly considered as a documental and utilitarian tool, the renovation that technical images convey to the conception of history itself has lagged behind the expectations foreseen by Walter Benjamin in the 1930s. To foster the debate on photography today, on its social uses, its circulation in a world of images with multiple meanings to history, aims at questioning concepts such as those of fact and event, visuality and truth, real and imaginary.
