Bursting the (filter) bubble: Interactions of members of parliament on Twitter
Ferro-Santos, S.; Cardoso, G.; Santos, S.Western European representative democracy models are strongly party-based, generating different incentives for political actors’ communication. Using Portugal as an example, our study analyzes if and how Portuguese Members of Parliament (MPs) interact on twitter, studying their interactions with 757 twitter accounts during one week in four different months. Our study concludes that, although more than half of t...
What do Portuguese MPs use Twitter for? A case study on political communication...
Ferro-Santos, S.; Cardoso, G.; Santos, S.Portugal has the lowest Twitter usage rate in Western Europe and a political system that does not incentivize direct contact with voters. So, what do Portuguese MPs use Twitter for? We collected and manually coded 2,192 tweets from MPs. Our analysis shows that MPs use Twitter mainly as a business tool to serve a niche, the Twitter elite. Twitter is used significantly more often by male MPs, from small and non-c...

Embora uma sociedade com estas caraterísticas parecesse uma realidade muito distante ou até mesmo impossível até há relativamente pouco tempo, a verdade é que os...

Belo, A.F.; Cardoso, G.; Pereira, E.; Quintella, B.R.; Mateus, C.S.; Alexandre, C.; Batista, C.; Telhado, A.; Quadrado, M.F.; Almeida, P.R.Fish pass monitoring is essential to ensure the device's effectiveness as a mitigation measure for river impoundment, guaranteeing the longitudinal continuity of rivers, which is particularly important for diadromous fish that depend on obligatory migrations to freshwater reproduction (anadromous) or feeding areas (catadromous) to complete their life cycle. The upstream migration of the anadromous allis (Alosa ...
