Information technology (IT) has become vital to organizations' success. For this reason, IT Governance (ITG) is necessary to control better solutions, sustainable development, and better decision-making. Since an organization's advantage lies in its employees' behavior, this study analyses the impact of ITG institutionalization on the key dimensions of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). OCB describes in...
In a context of growing demands for wood and wood derived products, plantations of exotic tree species have globally increased. Fast growth and high productivity made Eucalyptus one of the most successful tree genus around the world. Nevertheless, this genus is often associated with negative ecological impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and the risk of expansion is considered a major threat. Euca...
A Miocene succession exposed at the Cabo Ledo and Miradouro da Lua sections in the Onshore Kwanza Basin, Angola, was examined for palynology. Palynomorphs of preliminary late Miocene age identified are presented herein. The upper part of the Quifangondo Formation is dated as middle Tortonian in age based on the co-occurrence of the pollen grain Fenestrites spinosus and the dinoflagellate species Selenopemphix a...
Information technology (IT) is increasingly important to organizations and has become essential to the development of sustainable business growth. It is therefore necessary to adopt IT governance (ITG) mechanisms to ensure better solutions, sustainable growth, and better decision-making. As employee behavior is a competitive differential, this work focuses on the behavioral expression of ITG. It aims at analyzi...

The European chestnut (Castanea sativa) is threatened by the hemibiotrophic oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi, the causal agent of ink disease. Chestnut species have different susceptibility levels to P. cinnamomi, with the Asian species (C. crenata; C. mollissima) exhibiting the highest level of resistance. A histological approach was used to study the responses exhibited by susceptible and resistant chestnut ge...
A deep understanding of driver behavior is an important step to improve road safety and environmental performance. Volatility can be defined as the extent of variations in driving, which can be characterized by accelerations/braking, lane change, and unusual high speed for roadways conditions. There is a lack of knowledge on what concerns the relationship between driver’s volatility and exhaust emissions and ho...
This paper provides a framework for the calibration of partial safety factors in prestressed concrete (PC) girders strengthened in flexure with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. A hybrid approach was proposed to take advantage of comprehensive nonlinear numerical models in reliability analysis using a first-order reliability method (FORM) in conjunction with the response surface method (RSM). Th...
