Combining historical research with the analysis of contemporary empirical data collected through interviews with journalists working on the ground, the research demonstrates how there is a long tradition of state control that goes back to the colonial era and that has assumed different forms, ranging from outright censorship to physical intimidation of journalists and economic dependence on the government. Limitations and control strategies imposed on news reporting during the Portuguese administration continue to be practiced today by the Chinese authorities. Even so, journalists operating on the Macao media market tend to overstate the level of freedom they are given, which can be attributed to media outlets being economically dependent on the state. Nevertheless, the level of freedom attributed to the press is today higher than it had been during the colonial period with some critical voices being allowed to reach the media. This needs to be understood in the context of what has been defined as the Chinese safety valve strategy.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2023-04-11}, journal = {Communication \& Society}, author = {Costa-Ribeiro, Nelson and Simões, José Manuel}, month = jan, year = {2021}, note = {Number: 1}, keywords = {Censorship, Journalism Practice, Media Systems, Press Freedom, Press Subsidies}, pages = {29--40}, } @article{estadieu_static_2023, title = {Static recording apparatus for soundscape analysis in {Macau}}, volume = {268}, doi = {10.3397/IN_2023_1088}, abstract = {The concept of Soundscape was initially proposed to study the relationship between humans and their sonic environment. It has gathered momentum from academia to environmentalists and policymakers throughout the years. The study and characterisation of Soundscapes can be complex as it tries to take a holistic and qualitative approach rather than simply quantifying sound pressure levels. This paper introduces a comprehensive Soundscape study process in an ongoing research project in Macao (China), a small territory (32.9 km2) and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The paper seeks to show a first version of a technical solution to systematically capture the local soundscape, analyse it, classify it, and ultimately deliver a dataset library and the intangible qualities of the environmental sound. This implementation, including technical documentation, code, and sound library with strong labelling, is presented under an open-source license to encourage future collaborative research. Finally, the paper offers suggestions on further developing the apparatus to reach a systematic and near real-time soundscape analysis with the development of a machine learning system.}, number = {1}, journal = {INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings}, author = {Estadieu, Gerald and Cheung, Yin Yan and Pestana, Pedro Duarte and Barbosa, Alvaro}, month = nov, year = {2023}, pages = {7246--7256}, } @article{fagundes_social_2012, title = {Social cues in the expression of sequential alternative reproductive tactics in young males of the peacock blenny, {Salaria} pavo}, volume = {107}, issn = {00319384}, url = {https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0031938412002740}, doi = {10.1016/j.physbeh.2012.07.011}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2021-02-19}, journal = {Physiology \& Behavior}, author = {Fagundes, Teresa and Simões, Mariana G. and Gonçalves, David and Oliveira, Rui F.}, month = oct, year = {2012}, note = {4 citations (Crossref) [2022-09-21]}, pages = {283--291}, } @article{silva_physiology_2021, title = {Physiology, endocrinology and chemical communication in aggressive behaviour of fishes}, issn = {0022-1112, 1095-8649}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jfb.14667}, doi = {10.1111/jfb.14667}, abstract = {Fishes show remarkably diverse aggressive behaviour. Aggression is expressed to secure resources; adjusting aggression levels according to context is key to avoid negative consequences for fitness and survival. Nonetheless, despite its importance, the physiological basis of aggression in fishes is still poorly understood. Several reports suggest hormonal modulation of aggression, particularly by androgens, but contradictory studies have been published. Studies exploring the role of chemical communication in aggressive behaviour are also scant, and the pheromones involved remain to be unequivocally characterized. This is surprising as chemical communication is the most ancient form of information exchange and plays a variety of other roles in fishes. Furthermore, the study of chemical communication and aggression is relevant at the evolutionary, ecological and economic levels. A few pioneering studies support the hypothesis that aggressive behaviour, at least in some teleosts, is modulated by “dominance pheromones” that reflect the social status of the sender, but there is little information on the identity of the compounds involved. This review aims to provide a global view of aggressive behaviour in fishes and its underlying physiological mechanisms including the involvement of chemical communication, and discusses the potential use of dominance pheromones to improve fish welfare.

This work proposes two models to study the barriers to B2C e-commerce adoption in Portugal, highlighting obstacles less exploited by previous research: the impact of offline shopping pleasure and the influence of the distance to shopping malls on online shopping intent. An online survey was conducted based on different constructs. A multivariate OLS hierarchical regression was used to analyse the proposed models regarding the intention to buy online and the number of online purchases. The results revealed that customer satisfaction is a strong predictor of intent to buy online and that perceived product risk remains a barrier to e-commerce. Consumers living in high urbanised areas have more propensity to buy online. Helpful information is provided regarding the impact of context, culture, product, and individual barriers, showing that multichannel strategies are best suited for success.}, journal = {International Journal of Business Excellence}, author = {Silva, Susana Costa e and Machado, Joana Costa and Martins, Carla and Duarte, Paulo and Marques, João Alexandre Lobo}, year = {2021}, keywords = {E-commerce barriers, Online shopping, Portugal, Retail}, } @article{rodrigues_enhancing_2023, title = {Enhancing {Health} and {Public} {Health} through {Machine} {Learning}: {Decision} {Support} for {Smarter} {Choices}}, volume = {10}, copyright = {http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/}, issn = {2306-5354}, shorttitle = {Enhancing {Health} and {Public} {Health} through {Machine} {Learning}}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2306-5354/10/7/792}, doi = {10.3390/bioengineering10070792}, abstract = {In recent years, the integration of Machine Learning (ML) techniques in the field of healthcare and public health has emerged as a powerful tool for improving decision-making processes [...]}, language = {en}, number = {7}, urldate = {2023-08-01}, journal = {Bioengineering}, author = {Rodrigues, Pedro Miguel and Madeiro, João Paulo and Marques, João Alexandre Lobo}, month = jul, year = {2023}, note = {Number: 7 Publisher: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute}, keywords = {n/a}, pages = {792}, } @article{ribas_editorial_2020, title = {Editorial: {On} {Cinema}}, volume = {12}, copyright = {Copyright (c) 2020 Daniel Ribas; Nuno Crespo, Carlos Sena Caires}, issn = {2183-0088}, shorttitle = {Editorial}, url = {https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/jsta/article/view/9392}, doi = {10.34632/jsta.2020.9392}, abstract = {In the past decades, the field of cinema has undergone several transformations.
