While interactive mindfulness has been one of the focuses in the recent mobile applications market, usually tackling three essential human senses: audio, visual, and touch, each mobile application has quite some different approaches in terms of interactivity. Some focus on the touch and visual, and some on audio (environmental sounds or instructing meditation). Immersing oneself in virtual reality (VR) creates a constant stream of interactivity. Nonetheless, what are the conditions for an (in)tangible virtual reality to be more effective? Under the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown since the end of 2019, Macao has been facing a social concern that we cannot travel easily to visit our decedents’ graves abroad, let alone the existing concerns of expensive burial services, lack of space, and alternative burial options. Also, taking into consideration that standard funeral service in Macao is often too brief, and getting briefer, thus lacking the opportunity to properly farewell the decedent, this research is proposing a virtual reality 3D model construction of the Chapel of St. Michael, located in St. Michael the Archangel Cemetery in Macao, to be streamed on a 360 virtual tour platform, Kuula. co. By immersing in this virtual reality, the participant is to have a single user experience for mindfulness with the decedent. To ensure valid and reliable results that address the research aims and objectives, a single-user experiment is going to be set up with multiple electronic devices, namely, the smartphone iPhone X with cardboard VR, the tablet iPad Pro, and the Oculus Quest 2. The methodology to collect the data will be using observation and simulation. The experiment will be started with an introduction to the project and conducted with no instruction, allowing users to explore and examine all features in this immersive experience. Along with a post-experience survey (interview + questionnaire), we seek its conditions and impacts on Macao residents in terms of interactive mindfulness and participants’ expectation of testing, for the first time in Macao, a virtual reality grave mourning experience.}, booktitle = {The creative process: reflections on contemporary creativity}, author = {Olga Ng Ka Man, Sandra and Caires, Carlos}, year = {2022}, pages = {22--23}, } @inproceedings{joaquim-fernandes_are_2013, address = {Italy}, series = {Proceedings of the {Conference} on {Computation}, {Communication}, {Aesthetics} and {X} ({XCOAX} 2013)}, title = {Are {Luminous} {Devices} {Helping} {Musicians} to {Produce} {Better} {Aural} {Results}, or {Just} {Helping} {Audiences} {Not} {To} {Get} {Bored}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {Conference} on {Computation}, {Communication}, {Aesthetics} and {X} ({XCOAX} 2013)}, author = {Joaquim-Fernandes, Vitor and Barbosa, Alvaro}, year = {2013}, note = {GSCC: 0000005}, } @inproceedings{eleuterio_are_2015, address = {Osaka}, title = {Are the devotions of the {Passion} of {Jesus} in {Macao} still a "{Dangerous} memory"?}, url = {http://papers.iafor.org/wp-content/uploads/papers/acerp2015/ACERP2015_09146.pdf}, abstract = {Among the multiple images used to promote Macao as a touristic destination, we can find some related with the Christian traditions, in particular with the Catholic devotions to the Passion of Christ and the cult of the Virgin Mary.

Still, teachers frequently complain about the weak IT skills of many students, suggesting that most of them may not be benefiting sufficiently from their computer literacy courses. This research proposes an enhanced framework based on constructivist principles by using peer-tutoring to increase cost effectiveness and to improve student outcomes. Essential to this proposed model is the training of former course graduates as peer-instructors to achieve high quality learning results. At Instituto de Formação Turistica (IFT), a case study was used to evaluate its effectiveness using a qualitative analysis. In Macao, most students have a Confucian Heritage Cultural (CHC) background and the current findings demonstrate that students share more easily their learning difficulties within their group as their interpersonal relationships improve. It is suggested that since CHC cooperative learning is primarily based on bonds, students involved in this 'relationship-first, learning-second' type shared a larger amount of knowledge and social skills, a dual positive outcome. Moreover, English language is a major barrier for the understanding of the teacher’s message to Chinese students. Meanwhile, the negative Western concept of plagiarism is replaced, under the CHC, as the ‘face giving’ and it is directly based on the relationship intensity to 'help friends'.

To fill the research gap, the Value-based Acceptance Model (VAM) (Kim et al., 2007) is used to assess the individuals' perceptions of value and intention to accept MCM. Data from a sample of Macau residents are analyzed by means of structural equation modeling (SmartPLS). The results support the use of the model in our context, thus extending the applicability of the VAM to other settings. Except for 'technicality', the constructs of 'usefulness', 'enjoyment', and 'perceived fee' had a significant impact on the overall 'perceived value' of MCM, and in turn on the behavioral intention to use the innovation. To facilitate the diffusion of this dosage method in the marketplace, it is suggested that communications strategies consider the proposed sources of value when promoting MCM. To further explain the adoption process, it is recommended to include additional factors that may affect consumers' intention to adopt the innovation and extend the analysis to the actual usage.}, language = {English}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 17th {International} {Conference} of the {Academy} of {Global} {Business} {Research} and {Practice} ({AGBRP} 2022)}, publisher = {Academy of Global Business Research and Practice}, author = {Hong, Chi Kit and Lampo, Alessandro}, month = dec, year = {2022}, note = {Best Research Paper Award: https://www.usj.edu.mo/en/news/fbl-student-hong-chi-kit-and-prof-alessandro-lampo-received-the-best-research-paper-award-at-the-17th-international-conference-of-agbrp/}, } @inproceedings{negreiros_contemplation_2015, address = {Cham}, series = {Advances in {Intelligent} {Systems} and {Computing}}, title = {Contemplation on {Today}’s {Digital} {Education}}, isbn = {978-3-319-16486-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-16486-1_120}, abstract = {This paper starts to address the affect and side-effects of social media on people’s live in a pure contemplation perspective.

However, the market of integrated resorts in Macao are shared by only a few casino concessionaries, together forming an oligopoly. While the firms attempted to adjust price, quantity and quality of their hotel services in response to the pandemic, they could not overlook the strategic interactions with other players in the market. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the possible impact of the pandemic on the oligopolistic strategies in the integrated resort market in Macao. Methodology: Application of a theoretical model of differentiated oligopoly to this six-firm case shows that price differences across firms depend on their quality differentiation. In order to analyze these price differences empirically, this paper collects data of hotel room rates of the integrated resorts from November, 2019 to mid-August, 2020, covering the periods before and after the outbreak of COVID-19. Originality: In the existing literature, there is a lack of studies of the oligopoly in the hospitality industry of Macao. Furthermore, the effect of COVID-19 is still ongoing, so this present paper is one of the first to perform such analysis. Results: The regression of each of the hotel price differentials on the COVID-19 dummy variable shows that COVID-19 has statistically significant impacts on almost all the price differentials. Intuitively, MGM and Wynn were in the high-price segment before and after the outbreak, while other firms switched positions in the low-price segment during the pandemic. One obvious downstream movement was by Conrad. According to the proposition derived from the theory, these imply that COVID-19 should have significant impact on the quality differentiation of the firms. Practical implications: The results are in line with the observations that the integrated resorts have rolled out staycation packages according to preferences of local residents. These quality adjustments observed in Macao’s hospitality industry currently only involved variable inputs rather than fixed inputs of production; therefore, the impact of COVID-19 should be seen as short-term effects.

Whether the GBA constitutes an “optimum currency area” (OCA) depends on its degree of economic integration. This paper computes real interest rate differential (RID), uncovered interest rate differential (UID) and deviation from purchasing power parity (PPD) of each regional pair based on data of interest rates, exchange rates and price indexes from 2016M2 to 2022M7. All UID, PPD and RID series have means within about 1 percent point from 0, indicating high degrees of financial integration, real integration and economic integration. With the exception of Guangdong-Macau RID, all series are stationary, implying mean-reverting behavior. Hence, the parities are expected to hold both in the short run and in the long run, which is a condition for an OCA in the GBA. Furthermore, the regression analysis finds that the test launch of e-CNY in Shenzhen (adjusted for the COVID-19 outbreak) has significant impacts on all RIDs, Guangdong-Macau PPD and Hong Kong-Macau PPD.

Furthermore, each of the three regions circulates a local currency subject to its own exchange rate policy, with Hong Kong Dollar and Macau Pataca currently pegged to the US Dollar.

(1) Boeing and Airbus are significantly different in the degree of offshoring. (2) The degree of offshoring also changes among different aircraft models. To offer an explanation, this paper focuses on issues related to fragmentation. Existing literature has established the tie between fragmented technology and offshoring. However, it is assumed that production can be fragmented readily and at no cost; and only exogenous global economic factors have impact on the degree of fragmentation. This model distinguishes itself from others by incorporating endogeneity in fragmentation. A final-good firm can spend on R\&D specifically for its own fragmented technology. As a result, the final-good firm can optimally choose the portion of components to be offshored. A strategic trade policy model is used to show that the degree of offshoring depends on the firm's own cost of production, the host country's cost of production, the global state of technology as well as the government trade policies. In particular, export subsidy and subsidy on R\&D of fragmented technology are shown to be policy substitutes.

According to Claire Bishop (2012), this expanded field of post-studio practices currently goes under a variety of names: socially engaged art, community-based art, experimental communities, dialogic art, littoral art, interventionist art, participatory art, collaborative art, contextual art and (most recently) social practice. By engaging, artists nurture the sense of belonging and search for an identity of the place they inhabit. In Hong Kong and Macao, as well as in the Pearl River Delta and China in general, the speed of urban transformation is forcing artists to reconsider their participation in the city in order to develop a creative place making process that is according to the new identity of the place. By doing so, they are also included in what has been defined as “creative industries” that tries to build a new image of the urban fabric. Linked with this sort of collective attitude, there is also an attempt to find a sense of local identity that has been disappearing in the face of these major developments. Engaging with the city and the communities may constitute, therefore, a challenge for the young generation, especially in hybrid places such as Hong Kong and Macao, where artists find themselves in an effort to understand the core values of their fragmented identity.

As a result, the choice of vehicles did not depend on the consumers’ level of concern. It appeared that consumers strongly perceived the benefits of a cleaner environment, however, when it comes to technology, environmental benefits are nice to have, rather than the primary incentive to purchase BEVs. Researchers should consider the role of environmental concern as a background factor in technology acceptance models, rather than a direct predictor of behavior.

Many are cultural heritage structures with significant historical and aesthetic importance. The majority have not been well preserved; worse, some were demolished (Stenning, 2015). Furthermore, structures are part of a dynamic and changing environment, and their location within the original landscape is not always clear. People have gradually forgotten cultural traditions as environments where historical stories took place, and the look and feel have been corrupted. Immersive Virtual Reality (V.R.) allows us to relive and explore the past. However, in the Pearl River Delta Region, specifically Macau S.A.R., V.R. is still in its infancy and is not frequently used for reproducing historical sceneries. Our research focuses on reproducing heritage structures and scenery based on scarce historical information. It shows how to incorporate facts and memories into the design and create engaging, immersive experiences in V.R. scenery that takes place, both inside and outside of a cultural heritage site that has lost its original appearance. Following this, a prototype was created with specific parameters relating to past and present sceneries. We partially reproduced an existing building complex currently being used for creative and commercial purposes, but it was a shelter for the poor and a house for old ladies to live in. There were not enough facts or images linked to the inner space in the past. Inadequate information allows audiovisual scene creators to be more imaginative. The prototype focuses on a functional design that integrates cultural traits tied to local industries. The researcher used image processing software, and web 3D tools (A-Frame 1.1.0). Users can navigate by virtually “walking” and starting the visual tour; simultaneously, the story unfolds as the timeline progresses. After entering, the users jump from the present to a specific era in the past. With audio guidance, users enter the private space, shared areas, working space, etc. Users can interact with objects from the virtual scenes while the interface displays relevant audiovisual introductions. Users could utilise the virtual system to learn how the old ladies led their daily lives in the Pearl River Delta Region and grasp the local single ladies’ group lifestyle at a specific time in the past (Kwong, 2020). The interactive experience enhances the users’ interest; additionally, the users become more familiar with the region’s traditional customs. With this approach, we can create old stories using modern technology. A-Frame provides users with great convenience and can be used by any Internet browser without relying on professional V.R. devices.

In education, there are great advantages for high-schools to utilize these online communication platforms, especially Online Open Forums and Social Networking Sites. Communication is the backbone of education. Everything from classroom teaching to school policy making depends on effective communication [1]. With these new communication platforms at hand, schools can develop more adaptable and friendly channels among students, teachers and management (only the first two interveners are covered under this study). Various components of the schools will essentially work together in a more collaborative and regenerative way [2]. This research paper analyses how online communication platforms are changing the internal nature of education. It takes sample populations from two schools in Macao (Pre-University of the University of Saint Joseph, USJ, and Colégio Diocesano de São José, CDSJ) with different backgrounds such as medium of language, level of degree, professor's background and style of teaching. Teachers of these schools are communicated first for their opinion on key elements to improve learning with online communication platforms. These factors are implemented in a platform such as Social Networking Sites. As expected, students are instructed to utilize this platform (Facebook) to enhance their learning practice and experience. The result of this utilization is assessed in terms of student opinions and feedback.}, booktitle = {2013 {Learning} and {Teaching} in {Computing} and {Engineering}}, author = {Kio, Su Long and Negreiros, Joao}, month = mar, year = {2013}, keywords = {Educational institutions, Electronic mail, Facebook, Internet, Macao, Visualization, communication, incidental education, social networking sites}, pages = {70--76}, } @inproceedings{qian_facial_2023, address = {New York, NY, USA}, series = {{ICEME} '23}, title = {Facial expression for marketing and consumer behavior: {A} {Bibliometric} analysis from 2013-2023 using {Data} {Visualization} {Tools}}, isbn = {9798400708022}, shorttitle = {Facial expression for marketing and consumer behavior}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3616712.3616717}, doi = {10.1145/3616712.3616717}, abstract = {The classification of emotions based on facial expressions have been a new topic of research in recent years, especially in marketing and consumer behavior areas.

The online social media used for MDA's communication was analysed, and semi-structured in-depth interviews with members of the Association were conducted. The research findings showed that, except for the reward structure, factors examined from the work environment in terms of organisation, supervision and co-workers; communication staff themselves; outcomes of accessible social media communication; audience and feedbacks show relations with disability inclusion practices on social media. The delivery of inclusive culture, the influential power of disability stakeholders and the positioning of social media platforms are the key influencing factors.The interesting part of this study is that people without disabilities seem to be excluded from the disability inclusion practice carried out on MDA's Facebook. Their social media content is highly accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences yet seems not to involve the general public.

The quality of item-association rules nevertheless depends on the concentration of frequent items from the input dataset. When the dataset becomes large, the items are scattered far apart. It is known from previous literature that clustering helps produce some data groups which are concentrated with frequent items. Among all the data clusters generated by a clustering algorithm, there must be one or more clusters which contain suitable and frequent items. In turn, the association rules that are mined from such clusters would be assured of better qualities in terms of high confidence than those mined from the whole dataset. However, it is not known in advance which cluster is the suitable one until all the clusters are tried by association rule mining. It is time consuming if they were to be tested by brute-force. In this paper, a statistical property called prior probability is investigated with respect to selecting the best out of many clusters by a clustering algorithm as a pre-processing step before association rule mining. Experiment results indicate that there is correlation between prior probability of the best cluster and the relatively high quality of association rules generated from that cluster. The results are significant as it is possible to know which cluster should be best used for association rule mining instead of testing them all out exhaustively.}, booktitle = {2018 5th {International} {Conference} on {Soft} {Computing} \& {Machine} {Intelligence} ({ISCMI})}, author = {Li, Tengyue and Fong, Simon and Lobo Marques, Joao Alexandre and Wong, Raymond K.}, month = nov, year = {2018}, note = {0 citations (Crossref) [2022-09-21] ISSN: 2640-0146}, keywords = {Association Rule Mining, Big Data, Clustering, Clustering algorithms, Data mining, Itemsets, Preprocessing, Prior Probability, Probabilistic logic, Probability distribution}, pages = {60--66}, } @inproceedings{costa_geochemical_nodate, title = {Geochemical and mineralogical investigations of seafloor oxyhydroxides deposits collected in {Mid}-{Atlantic} {Ridge} hydrothermal fields}, author = {Costa, P and Dias, Ágata}, } @inproceedings{dias_geochemistry_2019, address = {Barcelona}, title = {Geochemistry of {Fe}-{Si}-({Mn}) {Chimneys} from {Luso} {Vent} {Field}, {MAR}}, url = {https://goldschmidt.info/2019/abstracts/abstractView?id=2019003072}, author = {Dias, Ágata and Costa, P and Marques, A F and Ribeiro, L and Madureira, P and Calado, A and Gonçalves, E and Morato, T}, year = {2019}, } @inproceedings{dias_geochronological_2019, address = {Barcelona}, title = {Geochronological, geochemical and petrographic constraints on incremental pluton growth: the case of {Macao} granitic suite}, url = {https://goldschmidt.info/2019/abstracts/abstractView?id=2019004459}, author = {Dias, Ágata and Quelhas, P and Mata, J and Wayne, Davis}, year = {2019}, } @inproceedings{simoes_globalization_2015, address = {Beijing China}, title = {Globalization, {Communication}, {Information} and {Cohabitation}}, publisher = {Beijing Foreigner Studies University}, author = {Simoes, José Manuel}, month = oct, year = {2015}, } @inproceedings{estadieu_hacking_2018, address = {Lisbon, Portugal}, title = {Hacking: {Toward} a {Creative} {Methodology} for {Cultural} {Institutions}}, booktitle = {8th {Lisbon} {Summer} {School} for the {Study} of {Culture} at {Microsoft} headquarters}, author = {Estadieu, G and Caires, C.

The result showed significant relationships among the variables in the model and depicted the construct of image as a strong factor in the adoption decision. Our findings suggest that social influence may not exhibit substantial impact in the case of innovations in their initial phase and, more importantly, the construct of image could be included as a key predictor of behavioral intention in technology acceptance models, particularly in contexts where the choices that consumers make are public, and therefore subject to judgments from the members of the community.}, urldate = {2023-03-14}, booktitle = {2022 13th {International} {Conference} on {E}-business, {Management} and {Economics}}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, author = {Lampo, Alessandro and Silva, Susana C.}, month = nov, year = {2022}, note = {Best Oral Presentation Award: https://www.usj.edu.mo/en/news/dr-alessandro-lampo-receives-best-oral-presentation-award-at-the-iceme-2022/}, keywords = {Battery Electric Vehicles, Image, SmartPLS, Social Influence, Technology Acceptance}, pages = {142--146}, } @inproceedings{costa_hydrothermal_2019, address = {Hangzhou}, title = {Hydrothermal {Fe}-{Mn} deposits from low-temperature systems of the {Mid}-{Atlantic} {Ridge}}, author = {Costa, P and Dias, Ágata}, year = {2019}, } @inproceedings{thota_illustration_2012, address = {Melbourne; Australia}, title = {Illustration of paradigm pluralism in computing education research}, volume = {123}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84878522133&origin=inward&txGid=81315c48936e3bc0f6c722737d60e587}, abstract = {This paper argues for paradigm pluralism in computing education research.

The study demonstrates methodological eclecticism and use of mixed methods for data collection and analysis. Meaningful outcomes resulting from the choice of the research design are described. A framework that focuses on the research problem and research questions to guide research design is presented as the outcome of the study.

Despite fluctuations in popularity, the genre of Chinese crime fiction, the plots of which are based on true cases, has retained a reasonably constant presence on the literary scene, and has captured the popular imagination in contemporary China and, more recently, across the world. After the demise of Mao, under whose governance the genre was banned, the government of the early Deng regime began to favor so-called “legal system literature” (fazhi wenxue), and aimed to use it to propagate moral principles and maintain political control in opposition to writers who strived for independence and originality. Since the mid and late 1980s, which were considered the heyday of Chinese crime fiction, and the expansion of the legal system and legal institutions, crime fiction has served to illuminate the role of law and to display new social perceptions. To investigate these attitudes, I focus on works of contemporary Chinese crime fiction by arguing that they are expressions of a confluence of cultural exchange and new trends. Several factors may have contributed to such a change, from the impact of the cinema and television serials in China to the celebrity status of Chinese detectives, lawyers and judges both as crime solvers and writers in the Chinese mainland and amongst the Chinese writing diaspora. An important finding is that besides giving detailed descriptions of legal procedures, all of the works studied have clearly shifted away from the traditional formula of Chinese crime fiction, that is, of the quest of a hero for justice, punishment, and revenge, to focus on the process of solving crime and the rendering of justice through legal processes. It seems that crime fiction is becoming crucial in conveying a new understanding of citizen’s rights in an attempt to fit into ongoing contemporary debates on universalistic notions of justice and the competence of legal institutions to provide justice to increasingly marginalized sectors of contemporary China.}, author = {Morais, Isabel}, month = jan, year = {2014}, } @inproceedings{fernandes-marcos_innovating_2022, address = {Valencia}, title = {{INNOVATING} {IN} {OPEN} {DISTANCE} {TEACHING} {WITH} {FACE}-{TO}-{FACE} {RETREATS} {WITHIN} {A} {DOCTORAL} {PROGRAM} {IN} {DIGITAL} {MEDIA} {ART}}, isbn = {978-84-09-37758-9}, shorttitle = {{INTED} 2022 conference proceedings}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10400.2/11827}, doi = {10.21125/inted.2022.0938}, language = {English}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 16th annual {International} {Technology}, {Education} and {Development} {Conference} ({INTED2022}}, publisher = {IATED Academy}, author = {Fernandes-Marcos, A and Tavares, M}, month = mar, year = {2022}, note = {0 citations (Crossref) [2022-09-21] OCLC: 1325332377}, pages = {3336-- 3343}, } @inproceedings{pereira_inside_2021, address = {Aveiro, Portugal Portugal}, title = {Inside the embroidery. {The} rematerialization of traditional embroidery in a post-digital approach: {No} interior do bordado. {A} rematerialização do bordado numa vertente pós-digital}, isbn = {978-1-4503-8420-9}, shorttitle = {Inside the embroidery. {The} rematerialization of traditional embroidery in a post-digital approach}, url = {https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3483529.3483766}, doi = {10.1145/3483529.3483766}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-07-28}, booktitle = {10th {International} {Conference} on {Digital} and {Interactive} {Arts}}, publisher = {ACM}, author = {Pereira, Selma and Fernandes-Marcos, Adérito}, month = oct, year = {2021}, note = {0 citations (Crossref) [2022-09-21]}, pages = {1--3}, } @inproceedings{ge_international_2022, address = {Singapore}, title = {International {Student} {Diversity} {Experiences} in their {Host} {Cities}}, publisher = {National University of Singapore and Université Paris Cité}, author = {Ge, Yun and Ho, Kong Chong}, month = may, year = {2022}, } @inproceedings{gomes_intersectoral_2022, address = {Beijing China}, title = {Intersectoral {Linkages} in {Booming} {Sector} {Economies}}, isbn = {978-1-4503-9639-4}, url = {https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3556089.3556111}, doi = {10.1145/3556089.3556111}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-03-22}, booktitle = {2022 13th {International} {Conference} on {E}-business, {Management} and {Economics}}, publisher = {ACM}, author = {Gomes, Sérgio Ricardo Santos and Marques, Joao Alexandre Lobo and Reis, Ricardo Ferreira}, month = jul, year = {2022}, pages = {225--232}, } @inproceedings{lai_investigation_2022, address = {New York, NY, USA}, series = {{ICEME} 2022}, title = {Investigation on citizen trust towards e-government services in {GBA} \&\#x2013; {A} study on {WeChat} and {Alipay} government service mini-programs}, isbn = {978-1-4503-9639-4}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3556089.3556110}, doi = {10.1145/3556089.3556110}, abstract = {Citizens' trust in eGovernment is crucial for the successful implementation of new electronic services.

In addition, Macao has extremely wide multicultural population with a broad range of subjects that have diverse cultural perceptions and thresholds in regards to sonic cognition. The potential impact of this diversity has already been noticed in both tourism (To \& Chung, 2019) and research (Chung et al., 2016).

Macau GDP and GGR showed co-movements with a number of time series economic indicators, including China’s exports and imports, China’s manufacturing PMI, non-manufacturing PMI, China's electricity production growth, share price of some Macau’s gaming operators, etc. These time series data can be found in statistics departments of China, Macau and Hong Kong, stock exchanges, and international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO). Burns and Mitchell’s study in 1946 identified co-movements between economic indicators and being further carried out and developed leading, coincident and lagging indicators, which is essential for future econometric models and nowcasting techniques developments to study these co-movements. In particular, with the proper application of nowcasting techniques, future studies can exploit the data of leading and coincident economic indicators to forecast Macau’s GDP and GGR within an acceptable level of error. Since Macau is a “monotown,” where the gaming revenue makes a significant contribution to the economy. The forecasting of gaming revenue is crucial as it aids the gambling and tourism industries in preparing supply and provides information to policymakers to plan for the near future.

Using statistical methods (multiple linear regression (MLR) and classification and regression tree (CART) analysis) we were able to develop forecasting models for the main pollutants (NO2, PM2.5, and O3) enabling us to know the next day concentrations with a good skill, translated by high coefficients of determination (0.82–0.90) on a 95\% confidence level. The model development was based on six years of historical data, 2013 to 2018, consisting of surface and upper-air meteorological observations and surface air quality observations. The year of 2019 was used for model validation. From an initially large group of meteorological and air quality variables only a few were identified as significant dependent variables in the model. The selected meteorological variables included geopotential height, relative humidity and air temperature at different altitude levels and atmospheric stability characterization parameters. The air quality predictors used included recent past hourly levels of mean concentrations for NO2 and PM2.5 and maximum concentrations for O3. The application of the obtained models provides the expected daily mean concentrations for NO2 and PM2.5 and maximum hourly concentrations O3 for the next day in Taipa Ambient air quality monitoring stations.

This study takes the example the prototypes existing in the village of Zhupu, Haojiang District, Shantou city as a case study, to analyse the spatial form of the residences. The Zhupu village houses date from the Qing Dynasty - Qianlong period, around 1700 AD. The hypothesis of this study is that CTH buildings are a result of a space compositional rule system that can be described and replicated through a computational design methodology. This study will establish a computational architectural syntax, and is the first stage of an extended research work on the evolution of Chaoshan residential types. The understanding of this evolution may help, as future work, to develop urban strategies for adaptation of the CTH heritage buildings to the contemporary living conditions. As the result of this study is a computational 3D graphics modelling algorithm, the ability of the system to generate the house layouts is not limited to the reconstruction of existing typologies of CTH and its variations.

There has been a great deal of discussion about the effects of hotel operations on the environment and tourism sustainability in Macau. It is because of these negative impacts that hoteliers have adopted green practices in an attempt to minimize them. By developing sustainability reports, hotels can set goals, measure performance, and manage change, resulting in better sustainability. It could also be viewed as a strategy to enhance the company’s sustainability reporting to ensure stakeholders know what the company does. The objective of this study is twofold based on the analysis of the official sustainability reports of four major hotel chains. Firstly, seven categories of sustainable practices effectively adopted by these chain hotels are identified and clusterized. Second, it is presented in which areas some hotels performed more efficiently than others, considering the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a reference.

The most common negative aspects included concerns about pedagogical designs of MOOCs, assessment practices, and lack of interaction with the teacher.

Change agents were interviewed on the application of Nudge Theory to change recipients when managing to change initiatives within their respective organizations. The results indicate that the use of nudges created by the change agents can significantly impact the level of resistance from the change recipients. If used correctly, the Nudge Theory can mitigate change resistance, and the success of a change initiative is higher.

A current gap in the cosmetics field is the lack of published research studies, considering the marketing investment done yearly in this category. With the rapid economic expansion and the rise of social media in China, consumers' interest in beauty is growing. Even though the Chinese cosmetics sector is rapidly expanding, no studies have been done with Chinese consumers. This study aims to employ the same approach as previously done in consumer neuroscience studies to evaluate cosmetic brands' marketing strategy to understand better if immediate emotional responses can be measured using Electrodermal Activity (EDA). Here, we focus on cosmetics products advertisement as a model to understand consumer preference formation and choice. Eighteen Chinese female consumers were recruited between 19 and 37 years old. From the results obtained, it was understood that none of the participants have voted for the product advertisement for which they showed higher emotional arousal. However, it appears that the participants' preference is for the products for which the brand awareness is stronger since the product advertisements with more votes are the ones for the Korean brand used. The product advertisements with Asian faces were the ones with more votes, suggesting that Asian faces have engaged consumer preference. However, the product advertisements for the Brazilian brands, unknown to the Chinese public, were the ones with fewer votes, although, those product advertisements were the ones with more emotional arousal per minute. Those advertisements were also those with non-Asian faces, suggesting that this feature influenced voting decisions. From this study, it has been observed that Electrodermal Activity is a measure of emotional arousal that by itself cannot be translated into consumer engagement. Therefore, it is also proposed to evaluate brand awareness in future studies related to product advertisements. The physical features of the people included in the advertisements is also suggested to be further evaluated in future studies since a different cultural background seems to influence the consumers' engagement. Furthermore, using EDA to complement other neurophysiological tools like facial expression analysis is also suggested for future studies to have evidence about the nature of the emotions raised.}, urldate = {2023-03-21}, booktitle = {2022 13th {International} {Conference} on {E}-business, {Management} and {Economics}}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, author = {Neto, Andreia and Lobo Marques, Joao Alexandre}, month = nov, year = {2022}, keywords = {advertisement, consumer behavior, consumer neurosciences, cosmetics, marketing, neuromarketing}, pages = {81--86}, } @inproceedings{correia_gender_2012, title = {The gender gap in science, engineering, technology \& mathematics: unfolding traditional mindsets}, isbn = {978-84-616-0763-1}, author = {Correia, Ana and Marques, Ana}, year = {2012}, pages = {6070--6078}, } @inproceedings{lampo_influence_2021, address = {Madrid, Spain}, title = {The {Influence} of {Society} on the {Behavioral} {Intention} to {Use} a {Technology}: {Evidence} from the {Battery} {Electric} {Vehicles} {Domain}}, shorttitle = {The {Influence} of {Society} on the {Behavioral} {Intention} to {Use} a {Technology}}, url = {http://proceedings.emac-online.org/pdfs/A2021-93961.pdf}, abstract = {Despite the general good intentions towards the environment, individuals tend to adopt traditional internal combustion vehicles.

There are several reasons for this, including that the technologies examined were relatively new for the respondents to form a routine behavior. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether the construct can be used as a key predictor of future intention to use an innovation rather than an acquired practice among technology users. For this purpose, a conceptual model based on the theoretical additions to the UTAUT-2 is proposed and analyzed with structural equation modeling (SmartPLS).

In this course, students are assigned different writing exercises and research assignments to open their creative and constructive minds in writing (EdwardsGroves, 2012; McVey, 2008). Every year, at the end of the course and after a selection process, a collection of stories is uploaded to a database of original stories. We then developed an open-source application to print a receipt ticket from a thermal printer with a randomly picked story every time a user pushes a button. An arcade game-style button is installed on a kiosk designed in collaboration with students and set on the university's campus (left photo). The printed receipt presents a short extract of one of the stories and a QR code that links to the full story decorated with illustrations. In a modern society where most of our interactions are audiovisual-based, young generations are less and less encouraged to read and even less to write. By offering a simple kiosk installation with short stories and graphical illustrations, we propose a new interactive interface that can easily engage passers-by to eventually stimulate their reading and creativity. By reading these stories, students, professors, staff, and visitors can be surprised by the talent of our students, as it stimulates students to write new pieces to be selected. The interactive kiosk was accessible to all for a period of 3 months with 23 stories during which we automatically collected some data to use in quantitative analysis.

In Macau SAR, China, the vocational training ecosystem still operates in fully classic, in-person, fashion, which means it is susceptible to pandemic situations such as COVID-19.
