Centuries later, the Portuguese descendants of this “shadow empire” forged through trading, matrimonial alliances and cultural networks — notwithstanding a pragmatic adaptation to times of unprecedented political, economic and cultural upheaval — persist in a quest for identity and cultural reaffirmation of “Portuguese” cultural differentiation, which continues to be faithfully perpetuated and transmitted, centuries after the earlier Portuguese contacts ceased. These communities show distinctive aspects of what could be called a certain “Luso-Eurasianness”, exhibited in oral literature, religious practices, family surnames, ceremonies, cuisine, public structures, ways of speaking and, above all, in identity-making religious and cultural reinterpretation of lived and shared commonalities.This study argues that, even if relatively scant attention has been paid to the literary production of the communities considered here, in particular in Anglophone postcolonial studies, they have influenced and continue to exercise seminal influence on most postcolonial imaginaries, either in their respective societies or in the contemporary fiction of the Luso diaspora.}, urldate = {2023-04-11}, booktitle = {Portuguese and {Luso}-{Asian} {Legacies} in {Southeast} {Asia}, 1511–2011, vol. 1: {The} {Making} of the {Luso}-{Asian} {World}: {Intricacies} of {Engagement}}, publisher = {ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute}, author = {Morais, Isabel Maria Da Costa}, year = {2011}, pages = {239--258}, } @incollection{morais_law_2011, address = {New York, NY}, edition = {1st edition}, title = {Law on {Race} and {Slavery}, {Brazil}, 1824 -1888}, isbn = {978-0-8160-7212-5}, abstract = {When Columbus arrived in 1492, the first free black person--a sailor--set foot in the Americas.

From Canada to the Caribbean to Chile, they established vital economic and social institutions, championed the cause of abolition, and formed a bridge between the worlds of free whites and enslaved blacks. They worked as artisans, farmers, ministers, merchants, shipbuilders, and reporters.

Despite her short period of residence in Macao in the early nineteenth century, her multiple experiences in the Portuguese colony are invaluable. Her pronouncements in her journal entries, correspondences and other writings make clear her perceptions of Christian interaction with the Chinese people. Her writings combine strong religious beliefs with an equally powerful commitment to promote gender equality through education . Excerpts from her journal openly address female child slavery, the mui tsai system (little girls sold as household servants and for prostitution), gender-based class hierarchies, and the exploitation of women and children. Henrietta helped establish the first Chinese girls’ school in Macao and promoted other important factors through her writing such as the “Camões’s Garden and Grotto” and her discussion of The Lusiad. Had Henrietta Hall not come to China, I might not be here today.1 The first four decades of the nineteenth century were critical years in the Pearl River Delta and Macao. Many examples show Chinese tightening political control over Macao and increased opposition to British incursions.2 In Portugal, several reforms aimed at reinforcing state control of the administrative, political, military, and economic colonial organizations were implemented and extended to Macao.3 In 1835, the governor of Macao ordered that Portuguese who were born in Macao or who had lived in Macao for a long time, be 106 Isabel Morais restricted to municipal affairs only and thereby reducing the political autonomy of the local elites.4 Meanwhile, other important legislation was also extended to Macao. A law passed in 1834 called for the dissolution of all religious orders and congregations, and the abolition of slavery in every Portuguese territory in 1836. These initiatives weakened the Catholic Church’s role in the education system since all schools for both Portuguese and Asian converts in Macao were church-affiliated under the Portuguese Padroado (Patronage) system in Asia.5 At the same time, the United States’ maritime expansion and foreign policy in Asia started to assume a more assertive role, promoting American social, political, and liberal ideas. In 1803, the governor of Macao prohibited the consul of the United States from spending the winter in Macao, forcing him to go to Canton.6 Driven by profits from trade, Americans were nonetheless encouraged to continue going to China, and despite restrictions in Macao, they used the city as a base for not only commerce but the promotion of religion as well. This was done despite the opposition of the British East India Company to missionary activity, the Chinese government’s prohibitions of publicly propagating religion and the local Catholic elite’s aversions to non-Catholics in the Portuguese colony.7 According to Reverend John Lewis Shuck, Henrietta’s husband, the Protestant missionaries in Macao were “strictly prohibited by the civil authority any public efforts for the diffusion of the gospel” being limited to personal conversations only.8 The persecution against Protestants in Portugal might have contributed to the intolerance among Roman Catholics in Macao. It is worth mentioning that between 1843 and 1846 around one thousand Jews fled from Portugal to the United States and West Indies (British island of Trinidad). In 1846 more than four hundred Jewish people fled from the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira to Jacksonville and Springfield, in the state of Illinois.9 On the other hand, the immigration of Catholics into the United States, resulted in the so-called “nativist” movement in the 1840s, and the rise of the anti-immigrant Know-Nothing Party of the 1850s.10 For many years Protestant missionaries in China were restricted to Guangzhou (Canton) and Macao. They concentrated on distributing literature among members of the foreign and Chinese merchant class, which gained a few converts. And they laid the foundations for more humanitarian efforts of advancing education in China among the lower classes and providing medical services to the needy. This situation would change after the Opium Wars led to Henrietta Hall Shuck 107 the imposition of treaties, and compelled the Chinese government to allow evangelization and freedom to convert Chinese to Christianity. In the 1830s, North American and British missionaries established bases in Macao to advance their evangelical operations.

He states that ‘popular’ print culture was also crucial in its contribution to a global exchange that would have reinforced the idea of an ‘imagined community’.1 Anderson further explains that before the eighteenth century, the concept of nation was extensive, as Latin was the language of a broad, vast, imagined community called ‘Christendom’, but as there were changes in the religious communities, such a concept began to be replaced by French and English as vernacular languages of administrative centralization.2 Thus, print capitalism allied to the book market supported by the improvement of communications and the emergence of new and diverse forms of national languages, originated the creation of clusters of small creole ‘imagined political communities’ that were eager to promote new forms of national and cultural consciousness, aimed at widespread literacy through liens of kinship, ethnicity, fraternity, and power loyalties.3 This chapter posits that Anderson's arguments regarding creole nationalism in the new world, fit the particular case of the emergence of the printing, publishing and book-selling culture among a Euro-creole bourgeoisie from Macao with solid kinship, ethnic, commercial and social connections in Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai and other littoral spaces in the treaty ports in East Asia, and takes these developments as a necessary point of departure. I argue that they used the widespread nature of print media to empower themselves and other community members with the progressive eighteenth-century Enlightenment ideas on rational scientific knowledge. They embraced atheism and anti-clericalism as important elements of enlightenment, thus promoting scientific culture, constitutional monarchy or republican forms of government, social mobility for ethnic minorities, and religious and intellectual tolerance that to a certain extent challenged the Catholic Church and conservative circles.}, booktitle = {Macao - {The} {Formation} of a {Global} {City}}, publisher = {Routledge}, author = {Morais, Isabel}, year = {2013}, note = {Num Pages: 19}, } @incollection{davey_macau_2014, address = {Dordrecht}, title = {Macau, {Quality} of {Life}}, isbn = {978-94-007-0753-5}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-0753-5_3953}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-02-12}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of {Quality} of {Life} and {Well}-{Being} {Research}}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, author = {Davey, Gareth and Rato, Ricardo}, editor = {Michalos, Alex C.}, year = {2014}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-0753-5_3953}, pages = {3737--3740}, } @incollection{saw_enhancing_2014, address = {Singapore}, title = {Enhancing {Educational} {Collaborations} between {China} and {SIngapore}}, isbn = {978-981-4519-18-2}, url = {https://bookshop.iseas.edu.sg/publication/1954}, booktitle = {Advancing {Singapore}-{China} {Economic} {Relations}}, publisher = {Institute of Southeast Asian Studies}, author = {Saw, Swee-Hock and Ge, Yun}, year = {2014}, pages = {309}, } @incollection{amorim_fish_2015, address = {Vienna}, series = {Animal {Signals} and {Communication}}, title = {Fish {Sounds} and {Mate} {Choice}}, isbn = {978-3-7091-1846-7}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7091-1846-7_1}, abstract = {Fish acoustic signals associated with mating behaviour are typically low-frequency sounds produced by males when in close proximity to females.

For example, sound-dominant frequency, amplitude, and fatigue resistance may signal body size whereas pulse period (i.e. muscle contraction rate) and calling activity are related with body condition in some species.

However, studies addressing how the form and function of the auditory system change during development to enhance perception of the acoustic environment are rather sparse in this taxon compared to other vertebrate groups. An ontogenetic perspective of the auditory system in fishes provides a readily testable framework for understanding structure–function relationships. Additionally, studying ancestral models such as fish can convey valuable comparable information across vertebrates, as early developmental events are often evolutionary conserved. This chapter reviews the literature on the morphological development of the fish auditory system, with particular focus on the inner ear structures that evolve from an otic placode during early embryonic development and then continue to undergo differentiation and maturation in the postembryonic phase. Moreover, the chapter provides a systematic overview of how auditory sensitivity develops during ontogeny. Although most studies indicate a developmental improvement in auditory sensitivity, there is considerably species-specific variation. Lastly, the paucity of information and literature concerning the development of auditory capabilities for social communication in fishes is also discussed.

It is a reusable material, which means, the cork facade elements can be converted into a new agglomerated material, demonstrating a huge potential for adaptation to existing buildings following a reversible process. It is durable, lightweight, water resistant, low-cost material, some of the properties that may qualify it as suitable for application in large surfaces of vertical construction façades. The aim of this article is to analyze the mechanical, thermal and acoustic characteristics of cork composites against site-specific climatic conditions of subtropical climates and its suitability as an external coating system for residential buildings with the goal to reduce the energy consumption for cooling the inner environment. In high-density cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong the majority of the buildings starting from the 1960s until early 21st century (Brach \& Song 2006), did not integrate thermal insulation systems into external walls, producing a high level of heat transfer through the external façade from the outside environment during spring and summer seasons. Due to the extremely fast urban growth of the modern Chinese city, little importance is given to the quality of the external walls in current residential building construction. For at least during six months each year the consumption of energy due to air conditioning in Guangdong province is extremely high. The study concluded that substantial energy could be saved by implementing an external coating upgrade to existing buildings. Additionally, this study details the result obtained through software for energy simulations (Design Builder, ENVI-met) demonstrating the potential of this project to produce homogeneous and comfortable inside temperatures, which cools the indoor ambient temperature in summer time.}, booktitle = {Sustainable {Buildings} and {Structures}: {Building} a {Sustainable} {Tomorrow}}, publisher = {CRC Press}, author = {Afonso, F.}, year = {2019}, note = {Num Pages: 7}, } @incollection{correia_principal_2019, address = {Macao}, title = {Principal perspectives}, isbn = {978-99965-940-5-2}, booktitle = {Perspectives on {Inclusion}}, publisher = {University of Saint Joseph}, author = {Correia, Ana and Tchiang, Van Man}, year = {2019}, pages = {13--31}, } @incollection{rothlin_dottrina_2019, address = {Rome}, title = {La {Dottrina} {Sociale} della {Chiesa} in {Cina}. {Un} riferimento per l’etica degli affari (“{Catholic} {Social} {Teaching} in {China}. {A} reference for {Business} {Ethics}”)}, isbn = {978-88-514-2135-9}, booktitle = {La {Chiesa} in {Cina}. {Un} future da scrivere}, publisher = {La Civiltà Cattolica}, author = {Rothlin, Stephan}, editor = {Spadaro, A}, year = {2019}, pages = {61--73}, } @incollection{simoes_alma_2019, address = {Lisboa}, title = {A {Alma} e o {Lugar} de uma {Comunidade} {Singular}}, isbn = {978-972-54-0656-4}, language = {Portuguese}, booktitle = {O {Macaense} - {Identidade}, {Cultura} e {Quotidiano}}, publisher = {Universidade Católica Editora}, author = {Simoes, José Manuel}, editor = {Simoes, José Manuel and Chau, Fernando and Carneiro, Jorge Rangel Roberto}, month = jan, year = {2019}, } @incollection{cai_original_2020, address = {Leuven}, series = {Ephemerides theologicae {Lovanienses} / {Bibliotheca}}, title = {Original {Sin} and {Reprobation} in {Renaissance} {Thomism}: {The} {Cases} of {Domingo} {Bañez} and {John} of {St}. {Thomas}}, isbn = {978-90-429-4307-0}, language = {English}, number = {316}, booktitle = {Nos sumus tempora}, publisher = {Peeters}, author = {Cai, Thomas Yilun}, year = {2020}, pages = {433--444}, } @incollection{correia_figura_2020, address = {Lisboa}, title = {A figura feminina na ficção de {Senna} {Fernandes}: identidade, subalternidade e agência}, language = {Portuguese}, booktitle = {O {Macaense}. {Identidade} e cultura e quotidiano}, publisher = {Universidade Católica Portuguesa}, author = {Correia, Ana}, year = {2020}, pages = {51--62}, } @incollection{duraj_re-thinking_2020, address = {Lanham, MD}, title = {Re-thinking {Chinese} {Ecumene} in the {Global} {Age}}, abstract = {The rise of Asia in global affairs has forced western thinkers to rethink their assumptions, theories, and conclusions about the region.

However, the prediction of the actual number of infected people has proved to be a difficult task, due to a wide range of factors, such as mass testing, social isolation, underreporting of cases, among others. Therefore, the objective of this work is to understand the behavior of COVID-19 in the state of Ceará to forecast the total number of infected people and to aid in government decisions to control the outbreak of the virus and minimize social impacts and economics caused by the pandemic. So, to understand the behavior of COVID-19, this work discusses some forecast techniques using machine learning, logistic regression, filters, and epidemiologic models. Also, this work brings a new approach to the problem, bringing together data from Ceará with those from China, generating a hybrid dataset, and providing promising results. Finally, this work still compares the different approaches and techniques presented, opening opportunities for future discussions on the topic.

We used the simple, commonly used SEIR model to retrospectively analyse the initial pandemic data from Singapore. Here, the SEIR model was combined with the actual published Singapore pandemic data, and the key parameters were determined by maximizing the nonlinear goodness of fit R2 and minimizing the root mean square error. These parameters served for the fast and directional convergence of the parameters of an improved model. To cover the quarantine and asymptomatic variables, the existing SEIR model was extended to an infectious disease model with a greater number of population compartments, and with parameter values that were tuned adaptively by solving the nonlinear dynamics equations over the available pandemic data, as well as referring to previous experience with SARS. The contribution presented in this paper is a new model called the adaptive SEAIRD model; it considers the new characteristics of COVID19 and is therefore applicable to a population including asymptomatic carriers.

The use of PID controllers is justified to avoid divergence in the system when the learning process is conducted.

The educational benefits and opportunities from NBS are also lacking. Although there are some projects that can be classified as NBS, like the use of wetlands for wastewater treatment, they are not clearly categorized as one. These projects are also not integrated into environmental education programs.

The first presents the development of a big data and AI classification system for maternal and fetal ambulatory monitoring, composed by different solutions such as the implementation of an Internet of Things sensors and devices network, a fuzzy inference system for emergency alarms, a feature extraction model based on signal processing of the fetal and maternal data, and finally a deep learning classifier with six convolutional layers achieving an F1-score of 0.89 for the case of both maternal and fetal as harmful. The system was designed to support maternal–fetal ambulatory premises in developing countries, where the demand is extremely high and the number of medical specialists is very low. The second case study considered two artificial intelligence approaches to providing efficient prediction of infections for clinical decision support during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. First, LSTM recurrent neural networks were considered with the model achieving R2=0.93 and MAE=40,604.4 in average, while the best, R2=0.9939, was achieved for the time series 3. Second, an open-source framework called H2O AutoML was considered with the “stacked ensemble” approach and presented the best performance followed by XGBoost.

The f1-score for images with brain tumor was 0.93.

NAATs reliably detect SARS-CoV-2 and seldom produce false-negative results. Because of its specificity and sensitivity, RT-PCR can be considered the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis. This test’s complex gear is pricey and time-consuming, using skilled specialists to collect throat or nasal mucus samples.

This chapter proposes a pipeline for feature extraction and classification of Covid-19 in X-ray images using transfer learning for feature extraction with VGG-16 CNN and machine learning classifiers. Five classifiers were evaluated: Accuracy, Specificity, Sensitivity, Geometric mean, and Area under the curve. The SVM Classifier presented the best performance metrics for Covid-19 classification, achieving 90\% accuracy, 97.5\% of Specificity, 82.5\% of Sensitivity, 89.6\% of Geometric mean, and 90\% for the AUC metric. On the other hand, the Nearest Centroid (NC) classifier presented poor sensitivity and geometric mean results, achieving 33.9\% and 54.07\%, respectively.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-10-10}, booktitle = {Computerized {Systems} for {Diagnosis} and {Treatment} of {COVID}-19}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, author = {dos Santos Silva, Bruno Riccelli and Cortez, Paulo Cesar and da Silva Neto, Manuel Gonçalves and Lobo Marques, Joao Alexandre}, editor = {Lobo Marques, Joao Alexandre and Fong, Simon James}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-30788-1_5}, pages = {65--78}, } @incollection{gois_malaria_2023, address = {Cham}, series = {Studies in {Computational} {Intelligence}}, title = {Malaria {Blood} {Smears} {Object} {Detection} {Based} on {Convolutional} {DCGAN} and {CNN} {Deep} {Learning} {Architectures}}, isbn = {978-3-031-12127-2}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12127-2_14}, abstract = {Fast and efficient malaria diagnostics are essential in efforts to detect and treat the disease in a proper time. The standard approach to diagnose malaria is a microscope exam, which is submitted to a subjective interpretation. Thus, the automating of the diagnosis process with the use of an intelligent system capable of recognizing malaria parasites could aid in the early treatment of the disease. Usually, laboratories capture a minimum set of images in low quality using a system of microscopes based on mobile devices. Due to the poor quality of such data, conventional algorithms do not process those images properly. This paper presents the application of deep learning techniques to improve the accuracy of malaria plasmodium detection in the presented context. In order to increase the number of training sets, deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (DCGAN) were used to generate reliable training data that were introduced in our deep learning model to improve accuracy. A total of 6 experiments were performed and a synthesized dataset of 2.200 images was generated by the DCGAN for the training phase. For a real image database with 600 blood smears with malaria plasmodium, the proposed Deep Learning architecture obtained the accuracy of 100\% for the plasmodium detection. The results are promising and the solution could be employed to support a mass medical diagnosis system.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-03-22}, booktitle = {Computer and {Information} {Science}}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, author = {Gois, Francisco Nauber Bernardo and Marques, João Alexandre Lobo and de Oliveira Dantas, Allberson Bruno and Santos, Márcio Costa and Neto, José Valdir Santiago and de Macêdo, José Antônio Fernandes and Du, Wencai and Li, Ye}, editor = {Lee, Roger}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-12127-2_14}, pages = {197--212}, } @incollection{lee_malaria_2023, address = {Cham}, title = {Malaria {Blood} {Smears} {Object} {Detection} {Based} on {Convolutional} {DCGAN} and {CNN} {Deep} {Learning} {Architectures}}, volume = {1055}, isbn = {9783031121265 9783031121272}, url = {https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-12127-2_14}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-04-26}, booktitle = {Computer and {Information} {Science}}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, author = {Gois, Francisco Nauber Bernardo and Marques, João Alexandre Lobo and De Oliveira Dantas, Allberson Bruno and Santos, Márcio Costa and Neto, José Valdir Santiago and De Macêdo, José Antônio Fernandes and Du, Wencai and Li, Ye}, editor = {Lee, Roger}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-12127-2_14}, pages = {197--212}, } @incollection{hao_dcrc_2023, address = {Cham}, series = {Studies in {Computational} {Intelligence}}, title = {A {DCRC} {Model} for {Text} {Classification}}, isbn = {978-3-031-12127-2}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12127-2_6}, abstract = {Traditional text classification models have some drawbacks, such as the inability of the model to focus on important parts of the text contextual information in text processing.

The fundamental question addressed is whether our education system will embrace knowledge-based society and have the foresight to better prepare future generations. If educators around the world step back for a moment, it is not difficult to notice that unanswered questions about education are looming everywhere. The existent academic literature on education is abundant and embracing. In consequence, one can ask why is this book necessary? Indeed, this book is the result of senior university professors sharing their learnings and anticipating the pivotal issues facing all education professionals. According to the United Nations, by 2050, 68\% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. This fact cannot be ignored as it is one of the drivers of the profile of the future students. The reasons to organize this publication are many, but among them three stand out which also function as the driving forces behind this project: (1) University professors teach future generations based on models grounded on knowledge advanced by past experiences; (2) The decisive requirement to understand the needs of the new generations of university millennial students; and (3) What are the critical challenges of global societies? "This book problematizes the issues concerning education, and its main contribution is to answer the need to rethink education, face contemporary challenges, and reorganize the way public policies address education. It critically analyses the challenges of global societies in a decentralized perspective, not only reflecting a western perspective of education and knowledge production.

In this Chapter, an overview of some relevant technical aspects related to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented, divided in three parts. First, the advances are highlighted, including the development of new technologies in different areas such as medical devices, vaccines, and computerized system for medical support. Second, the focus is on relevant challenges, including the discussion on how computerized diagnostic supporting systems based on Artificial Intelligence are in fact ready to effectively help on clinical processes, from the perspective of the model proposed by NASA, Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). Finally, two trends are presented with increased necessity of computerized systems to deal with the Long Covid and the interest on Precision Medicine digital tools.

The risk of admission to an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and the need for mechanical ventilator support is three times higher. More significantly, statistics indicate that these patients are also at 70\% increased risk of evolving to severe states or even death. In addition, other previous illnesses and age greater than 35 years old increase the risk for the mother and the fetus, including a higher number of cesarean sections, higher systolic and diastolic maternal blood pressure, increasing the risk of eclampsia, and, in some cases, preterm birth. Additionally, pregnant women have more Emotional lability/fluctuations (between positive and negative feelings) during the entire pregnancy. The emotional instability and brain fog that takes place during gestation may open vulnerability for neuropsychiatric symptoms of long COVID, which this population was not studied in depth. The present Chapter characterizes the database presented in this work with clinical and survey data collected about emotions and feelings using the Coronavirus Perinatal Experiences—Impact Survey (COPE-IS). Pregnant women with or without COVID-19 symptoms who gave birth at the Assis Chateaubriand Maternity Hospital (MEAC), a public maternity of the Federal University of Ceara, Brazil, were recruited.

In addition, these systems can help doctors analyze the status of the disease and check for their progress or regression. To analyze the viability of using CNNs for differentiating Covid-19 CT positive images from Covid-19 CT negative images, we used a dataset collected by Union Hospital (HUST-UH) and Liyuan Hospital (HUST-LH) and made available at the Kaggle platform. The main objective of this chapter is to present results from applying two state-of-the-art CNNs on a Covid-19 CT Scan images database to evaluate the possibility of differentiating images with imaging features associated with Covid-19 pneumonia from images with imaging features irrelevant to Covid-19 pneumonia. Two pre-trained neural networks, ResNet50 and MobileNet, were fine-tuned for the datasets under analysis. Both CNNs obtained promising results, with the ResNet50 network achieving a Precision of 0.97, a Recall of 0.96, an F1-score of 0.96, and 39 false negatives.

Nevertheless, some patients develop different symptoms and/or cannot be moved to a CT-Scan room. In other cases, the devices are not available. The adoption of ambulatory monitoring examinations, such as Electrocardiography (ECG), can be considered a viable tool to address the patient’s cardiovascular condition and to act as a predictor for future disease outcomes.

Second, effective leadership and participation should be promoted while navigating the tensions between autocratic and participative leadership styles.
