Geo-consciousness and territorial culture. Education for GeoCapabilities — Powerfulknowledge implies a solid and open disciplinary education that allows young people to thinkabout the world, to insert themselves in the world, to dialogue with the local and global community.To accomplish this, the teaching of Geography has the mission of boosting the acquisitionof geo-capabilities. This article has developed a d...
While there is an increasing interest in Machine Learning (ML) based solutions, scarce research has been devoted to the deployment and monitoring of ML models. In this work, we address this research gap by proposing a new data drift ML update strategy that only considers changes in the input features. Using the realistic Growing Window (GW) and Rolling Window (RW) ML deployment simulation schemes, we propose tw...
This exploratory study analyzes the acceptance and use of technological tools in study preparation and artistic performance within vocational education, based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A total of 64 students and teachers from the Conservatório – Escola das Artes da Madeira, Eng. Luiz Peter Clode, participated in the study. The results reveal generally positive levels of technological acceptance,...

Manual de Metodologias Participativas – um guia para o envolvimento dos agentes na gestão da floresta, desenvolvido no âmbito do projeto Share_FOREST, coordenado por Elisabete Figueiredo e Eduarda Fernandes, com coautoria de Carla Ferreira, Carlos Gonçalves e Cristina Ribeiro, e design de Liliana Eusébio.
A segregação socio-espacial é um fenómeno multidimensional. Manifesta-se na segregação residencial de comunidades que não podem escolher o local de residência (dimensão física), associada à falta de oportunidades proporcionadas pelos serviços de proximidade (segregação funcional). Ambas impõem impedâncias à participação e desencadeiam estigmatização simbólica através da construção de imaginários conflituosos so...

In this paper, we explore and compare three recently proposed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) tools (AutoGluon, H2 O, Oracle AutoMLx) to create a single regression model that is capable of predicting smart city energy building consumption values. Using a recently collected one year hourly energy consumption dataset, related with 29 buildings from a Portuguese city, we perform several Machine Learning (ML) c...
Nowadays, the general interest in Machine Learning (ML) based solutions is increasing. However, to develop and deploy a ML solution often requires experience and it involves developing large code scripts. In this paper, we propose AI4CITY, an automated technological platform that aims to reduce the complexity of designing ML solutions, with a particular focus on Smart Cities applications. We compare our solutio...
The objectives of this investigation were to know and analyze the levels of satisfaction of students with the Music Basic Course at the Conservatory – Madeira’s Professional School of the Arts, in both the articulated and supplementary regimes. Based on a quantitative methodology, a set of sociodemographic variables, musical aptitudes and tastes were analyzed, and positive correlations were found with the satis...
