The incorporation of the principles underlying sustainable development has been evident in the behaviour of stakeholders, particularly in the tourist accommodation sector. The aim of this article is to analyse the relevance of adopting sustainable management practices in tourist accommodation and to ide...
A novel route to optimize placement equipment kinematics by coupling capacitive...
Veiga, João; Lima, Susana; Silva, Luís Carlos Castro; Carneiro, Vítor Hugo; Pinhão, Mário; Gonçalves, A. Manuela; Malheiro, M. TeresaMachine end-effector kinematic analysis is critical to optimizing transporting components where inertial forces are the main loads. While displacements may be measured with relatively high accuracy in transportation equipment motors, the inertial forces in the transported components are seldom optimized. This is especially relevant in electronic component placement systems, where the components have a wide rang...
A systematic analysis of an industrial pickup and placement production system
Silva, Luís F.; Lima, Susana; Meireles, José F.; Pinhão, Mário; Gonçalves, A. Manuela; Malheiro, M. Teresa; Machado, JoséSurface-mount technology is a method for producing electronic circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards. The purpose of this study was to analyze nozzle change in two production lines. Following a previous study, it was proposed that one type of nozzle would place resistors while another type of nozzle would place capacitors, contrary to what happ...
Time series forecasting using Holt-Winters exponential smoothing: an applicatio...
Lima, Susana; Gonçalves, A. Manuela; Costa, MarcoThis study deals with forecasting economic time series that have strong trends and seasonal patterns. How to best model and forecast these patterns has been a long-standing issue of time series analysis. In this work, we propose a Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing approach to time series forecasting in order to increase the chance of capturing different patterns in the data and thus improve forecasting perform...

Os impactos do terrorismo no turismo internacional
Coelho, Rui; Lopes, Jorge; Lima, SusanaA nível global são conhecidos os impactos que atentados terroristas de projeção internacional têm tido nos fluxos turísticos, na economia mundial e nos países afetados, fragilizando a organização do setor turístico. O objetivo principal deste artigo é analisar até que ponto o terrorismo afeta os fluxos turísticos internacionais globalmente e, em particular, a procura turística de destinos alvo de atentados terr...
Os jovens e o turismo voluntário : um estudo exploratório
Lima, Susana; Devile, Eugénia; Morais, Filipa; Simões, Cynthia; Mira, Inês; Gomes, PatríciaA tendência de crescimento do voluntariado, resultante de uma maior consciencialização da população para os problemas sociais e para as assimetrias de desenvolvimento a nível mundial, deu origem ao aumento do turismo de voluntariado, cujo objetivo assenta na prática de ações de voluntariado nos destinos, procurando experiências que contribuam não só para o desenvolvimento social, natural e económico das comunid...
Critical success factors for tourism in developing countries: a critical reflec...
Lima, Susana; Eusébio, Celeste; Partidário, Maria do RosárioThe idea of using tourism as a tool for development has been established as a major priority by multilateral institutions, donors, governments, non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), national and international tourism bodies. Nevertheless, only few studies have analysed the factors that have had major impacts in such initiatives in developing countries. In order to overcome this gap, the main aim ...
International cooperation for development in tourism destinations
Lima, SusanaO objectivo principal desta tese é desenvolver um modelo conceptual sobre os factores críticos de sucesso dos programas de turismo e cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento que se baseiam na transferência de conhecimento. O modelo teórico proposto procura preencher uma lacuna na literatura científica relativamente ao turismo e à cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento e o papel da transferência ...
