The Impact of Peers, Mentors and Role Models on Successful PhD Studies
Knoblach, Judith; Schmid, Ute; Goulão, Miguel; Schmid, Larissa; Vujošević Janičić, Milena; Boudaoud, KarimaThis chapter discusses the importance of role models, mentors, and peers in supporting female students’ decision to pursue a PhD. Role models inspire individuals to emulate successful behaviours and set a standard for excellence, while mentors provide guidance, share experiences, and challenge their mentees to reach their full potential. By examining successful mentoring programs and highlighting critical chara...
WoCa Lunch
Vujošević Janičić, Milena; Ábrahám, Erika; Mersni, Amal; Yeremenko, Oleksandra; Goulão, MiguelThe underrepresentation of women in informatics is a trend that continues across educational levels, with only a small number advancing into PhD studies. This has far-reaching consequences: with fewer female researchers, professors, supervisors, mentors, and role models, there exists a detrimental cycle where the absence of diversity perpetuates itself. This chapter presents the Women Career Lunch (WoCa Lunch) ...
Voices of Female Informatics Students Across Universities
Büyükdağlı, Özge; Mersni, Amal; Goulão, Miguel; Vujošević Janičić, MilenaThe underrepresentation of women in Informatics can lead to perceptions of potential challenges and concerns among female students. How do these students perceive the challenges they may encounter? How does this perception influence their decisions about pursuing a PhD in Informatics? In this chapter, we discuss these challenges and the opportunities the female PhD students experience, presenting them from thei...
Why do women pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science?
Ábrahám, Erika; Goulão, Miguel; Janičić, Milena Vujošević; Delany, Sarah Jane; Mersni, Amal; Yeremenko, Oleksandra; Büyükdağlı, Özge; Boudaoud, KarimaContext: Computer science, even now, attracts a small number of women, and the proportion of women in the field decreases through advancing career stages. Consequently, few women progress to Ph.D. studies in computer science after completing master's studies. Empowering women at this stage in their careers is essential, not just for equality reasons, but to unlock untapped potential for society, industry and ac...
A sustainability requirements catalog for the social and technical dimensions
Albuquerque, Diogo; Araujo, João; Gralha, Catarina; Goulão, Miguel; Brito, Isabel; Moreira, AnaSustainability poses key challenges in software development for its complexity. Our goal is to contribute with a reusable sustainability software requirements catalog. We started by performing a systematic mapping to elicit and extract sustainability-related properties, and synthesized the results in feature models. Next we used iStar to model a more expressive configurable catalog with the collected data, and ...
StonePT – Certification Trust and Quality Excellence of Portuguese Dimension St...
Lopes, Luís; Marques, Célia; Goulão, Miguel; Peres, Marta; Cristo, NelsonThe main objective of the StonePT – Portuguese Stone Brand, is to certify the Natural Stone product, so that StonePT companies can technically communicate their products, with customers and prescribers, being easily identified through its BRAND, its Identity – StonePT. The StonePT brand is supported by a certification system, aiming at the international recognition of Portuguese natural stone construction produ...
Portugal Mineral Resources Cluster Collective Strategy for Sectorial Recognitio...
Lopes, Lopes; Peres, Marta; Goulão, Miguel; Martins, LuísMineral Resources (MR) as a potential for development of a Country, can only be properly considered if there is an integrated strategy transversal to all activities related to them. Contributions from such different areas, starting with geology, territorial planning, environmental protection, socioeconomic sustainability of populations where MR occurs, associated with market policies, among others, should be an...
Portugal Mineral Resources Cluster: Collective Strategy for Sectoral Recognitio...
Lopes, Luís; Peres, Marta; Goulão, Miguel; Martins, Luís; Frazão, InêsThe proposal as a strategic economic cluster and subsequent recognition of the Portugal Mineral Resources Cluster, by the Portuguese Government, constitutes a milestone and an important step for its rational management. It was clear that the economic growth of companies associated with the cluster of mineral resources grew comparatively more in the same period than those that are not part of the cluster. It has...
Programming languages for data-Intensive HPC applications: A systematic mapping...
Amaral, Vasco; Norberto, Beatriz; Goulão, Miguel; Aldinucci, Marco; Benkner, Siegfried; Bracciali, Andrea; Carreira, Paulo; Celms, Edgars; Correia, LuísA major challenge in modelling and simulation is the need to combine expertise in both software technologies and a given scientific domain. When High-Performance Computing (HPC) is required to solve a scientific problem, software development becomes a problematic issue. Considering the complexity of the software for HPC, it is useful to identify programming languages that can be used to alleviate this issue. Be...
Astrocyte progenitor transplantation promotes regeneration of bulbospinal respi...
Goulão, Miguel; Ghosh, Biswarup; Urban, Mark W.; Sahu, Malya; Mercogliano, Christina; Charsar, Brittany A.; Komaravolu, Sreeya; Block, Cole G.Stem/progenitor cell transplantation delivery of astrocytes is a potentially powerful strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI). Axon extension into SCI lesions that occur spontaneously or in response to experimental manipulations is often observed along endogenous astrocyte "bridges," suggesting that augmenting this response via astrocyte lineage transplantation can enhance axon regrowth. Given the importance of r...
