description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2017 PortugalAuthors: Siqueira, Thiago Rela;Com a evolução das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs), e principalmente com a popularização da Internet, a cultura global se transformou, alterando e potencializando, principalmente, o acesso à informação. As relações entre as pessoas mudaram, exigindo das organizações adaptação a esse novo contexto e ao novo perfil de consumidores, mais exigentes e conscientes dos impactos das ações empresariais no meio ambiente. Assim, conceitos como o de Sustentabilidade e Responsabilidade Social Empresarial ganharam força, sendo necessária a sua compreensão enquanto ativo estratégico das organizações. Esse entendimento passa pela inserção da responsabilidade social na cultura e identidade organizacional e, consequentemente, na exteriorização dessa cultura aos públicos externos, agregando valor à marca e auxiliando na construção de relacionamentos mais duradouros e estáveis, o que dá espaço à atuação dos profissionais de relações públicas. Com o objetivo principal de verificar de que forma a identidade socialmente responsável da Delta Cafés é exteriorizada, em meio digital, através dos temas de comunicação, esta dissertação está estruturada como uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, apoiada em análise documental; pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo de caso. O estudo empírico é realizado a partir do modelo de Prisma de Identidade de Marca proposto por Kapferer (1991), utilizado para análise das mídias sociais da empresa objeto de estudo, nomeadamente o Instagram, o Facebook e o LinkedIn. Através dessa metodologia e com base no novo contexto de comunicação digital, busca-se responder se a exteriorização das temáticas comunicacionais por parte das relações públicas da Delta Cafés, nas mídias sociais, identifica a empresa como socialmente responsável. With the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and especially with the popularization of Internet, the global culture has changing and increasing the access to information. Relations between people have changed, requiring adaptation from organizations to this new context and to this new profile of consumers, more demanding and aware of the impact of corporate actions on the environment. Thus, concepts such as Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility gained strength, requiring their understanding as a strategic asset of the organizations. This understanding involves the integration of social responsibility in the organizational culture and identity and, consequently, the externalization of that culture to external audiences, adding value to the brand and helping to build long-lasting and stable relationships, which gives space to the actions of public relations professionals. With the main objective to verify how the socially responsible identity of Delta Cafés is externalized in digital media, through the communication issues, this dissertation is structured as a qualitative exploratory study, based on document and literature analysis; and case study. The empirical study is conducted from the Kapferer (1991) Brand Identity Prism, used to analyze the social media of the study subject company, including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Through this methodology and based on the new context of digital communication, this research try to answer if the externalization of communication issues by the public relations of Delta Cafés, in social media, identified the company as socially responsible.

A sustentabilidade é um tema que tem ganho uma relevância cada vez maior a nível nacional e mundial, a crescente preocupação com o estado do planeta proporciona uma reflexão maior sobre as ações humanas no quotidiano que, neste sentido, devem minimizar os impactos por meio de produtos, serviços, procedimentos e técnicas relacionadas com um desenvolvimento ambiental mais sustentável. Através da revisão de literatura foi possível identificar e caracterizar elementos importantes para formulação da questão de investigação, servindo como meio conceptual dos conceitos abordados ao longo desta dissertação e dando significado às questões abordadas. De forma a responder às questões de investigação, este estudo explorou por intermédio de questionários a opinião de 320 indivíduos sobre a sustentabilidade ambiental na indústria hoteleira. Simultaneamente investigou através de entrevistas ao corpo de administração de 2 hotéis, 2 grupos hoteleiros e 1 alojamento local as motivações e dificuldades para adotar medidas sustentáveis nas suas unidades. Com efeito, os resultados permitiram concluir que a sustentabilidade ambiental tem vindo a ganhar uma importância maior na vida dos inquiridos e acarreta também uma importância considerável para indústria hoteleira, não obstante entendeu-se que os inquiridos ainda consideram outras comodidades mais importantes na seleção de um hotel ou alojamento local em relação às medidas ambientais sustentáveis praticadas pela unidade, ao mesmo tempo, vii chega-se à conclusão que a gestão hoteleira tem atuado sobre a proteção ambiental dos seus estabelecimentos, mas que o modo como implementam medidas varia de acordo com as estratégia de mercado que estabelecem. The present work aims to identify and describe behaviors, attitudes and actions in the context of hospitality as cooperative measures for environmental sustainability in order to get perspectives from the client side and the manager side. Sustainability is a topic that has gained increasing relevance at national and global level, the growing concern with the state of the planet provides a greater reflection on human actions in daily life, which, in this sense, should minimize impacts through products, services, procedures and techniques related to more sustainable environmental development. Through the literature review, it was possible to identify and characterize important elements that helps formulating the research question, serving as a conceptual means of the concepts covered throughout this dissertation and giving meaning to the issues addressed. In order to answer the research questions, this study explored, through questionnaires, the opinion of 320 individuals about the environmental sustainability in the hotel industry. At the same time, through interviews with the board of directors of 2 hotels, 2 hotel groups and 1 local accommodation, it was investigated the motivations and difficulties about adopting sustainable measures in their units. In fact, the results allowed to conclude that environmental sustainability has been gaining a greater importance in the life of the respondents and also entails considerable importance for the hotel industry, although it was understood that the respondents still consider more important other facilities while selecting a hotel or local accommodation in relation to the sustainable environmental measures practiced by the unit, at the same time, it is concluded that the hotel management has been acted on the environmental protection of its x establishments, but the way they implement measures varies according to the strategies that they establish.

Assiste-se por parte das empresas à sua incorporação, desenvolvendo estratégias de forma a integrar as preocupações mais atuais aos níveis sociais, ambientais e de governação nas suas atividades e operações. Para além das empresas puderem ajudar a mitigar estas preocupações, os investimentos nestas áreas podem trazer-lhes diversos benefícios. Este estudo pretende analisar qual a perceção dos consumidores sobre estes temas e a importância que têm para os mesmos, aplicando-se a um caso prático sobre a seguradora Fidelidade. Com base num inquérito preparado para este fim, cujas respostas eram anónimas, pretendeu-se medir a perceção atual que os consumidores têm sobre a Fidelidade e estudar as formas de aumentar a sua perceção a futuro. More and more, consumers demand companies with responsible and sustainable businesses, becoming terms such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and ESG a part of day by day of the recent enterprise world. Those are being incorporated by enterprises, which are developing strategies to integrate the most recent concerns at social, environmental and governance levels into their activities and operations. Beyond the fact of companies might be able to mitigate these concerns, investments in these areas can reward them with several benefits. This thesis aims to analyse the perception of consumers on these themes and its importance for them, applying it to a practical case about the insurance company Fidelidade. Based on a survey designed for this purpose, whose answers were anonymous, it was evaluated the current perception that consumers have about Fidelidade, as well as it was studied how to increase their perception in the future.

É uma obrigação da empresa alcançar metas sustentáveis de longo prazo para os seus funcionários e também para o mundo em geral. O papel do gestor de operações é conseguir balançar todos os desafios que surgem à medida que o ambiente económico, social político e tecnológico altera. Há toda uma análise necessária entre os incentivos que o governo de cada país fornece e o proveito que a empresa consegue retirar da implementação destas políticas. Surge aqui a questão fulcral se a adoção destas políticas não é meramente por interesses económicos por parte destas organizações. O presente trabalho visa, por isso, avaliar a aplicação de medidas de responsabilidade social corporativa em empresas internacionais. Foi elaborado através do estudo e análise de duas organizações internacionais com as suas operações já delineadas, a FARFETCH e a FERPINTA. Ao longo do trabalho são avaliados os desafios enfrentados por estes dois grupos internacionais cujo as indústrias nas quais operam são inequivocamente diferentes. Inicialmente, realiza-se revisão de literatura, de seguida é feito um resumo dos dois grupos. Posteriormente, é feita a análise das entrevistas levadas a cabo com diferentes colaboradores e de diferentes departamentos das empresas de forma a recolher uma amostra variada dos pontos de vistas e das ações de responsabilidade social levadas a cabo. Por fim, é feita uma análise geral com a análise dos resultados das entrevistas e dados recolhidos. Após recolhidas e formuladas as análises, são sugeridas possíveis ações de implementação por parte das empresas. Currently, there is an increasing need for companies to adopt some kind of corporate social responsibility measure. It is an obligation of the company to achieve sustainable long-term goals for its employees and also for the world at large. The operations manager's role is to balance all the challenges that arise as the economic, social, political, and technological environment changes. There is a whole necessary analysis between the incentives that the government of each country provides and the benefit that the company is able to derive from the implementation of these policies. Here, the central question arises whether the adoption of these policies is not merely for economic interests. The present work aims, therefore, to evaluate the application of corporate social responsibility measures in international companies. It was prepared through the study and analysis of two international organizations with their operations already outlined, FARFETCH and FERPINTA. Throughout the work, the challenges faced by these two international groups whose industries in which they operate are unequivocally different are evaluated. Initially, a literature review is carried out, followed by a summary of the two groups. Subsequently, an analysis of the interviews is carried out with different employees and from different departments of the companies in order to collect a varied sample of the points of view and the social responsibility actions implemented. Finally, a general analysis is made with the evaluation of the results of the interviews and data collected. After collecting and formulating the analyses, possible implementation actions by the companies are suggested.

Estes recursos de que falamos não se referem apenas ao ambiente. Podem também ser sociais e económicos. Esta exploração irrazoável dos referidos recursos e forma de conduzir os negócios levou ao esgotamento dos mesmos, bem como às desigualdades sociais e económicas que vemos hoje (algumas delas relacionadas com a vertente laboral). Nesta dissertação, abordaremos um tema que hoje adquire a mais absoluta urgência. As empresas, na sua busca incessante pelo lucro, têm sido também os líderes na criação dos problemas que acabámos de enunciar. Como tal, devem também ser elas a liderar a solução para estes problemas, quem desenvolve maiores esforços na tentativa de mudar, tanto as acções, como as mentalidades, sendo quem que se encontra na melhor posição e com maior capacidade para afetar as mudanças necessárias. Face às grandes mudanças que se impõem, o próprio consumidor procura agora produtos sustentáveis, pelo que as empresas devem adaptar-se e entregar ao cliente o que este pretende, a fim de se manterem competitivas e rentáveis. É aqui que convergem a Corporate Governance e a Responsabilidade Empresarial, dando origem ao que se apelida Responsabilidade Social Empresarial (ou RSE). Neste contexto, é também importante clarificar a importância dos modelos de governação adotados. Ademais, tentaremos demonstrar a importância de adoção de novas formas de ação e condução da atividade empresarial, respeitando, simultaneamente, as várias partes envolvidas, abandonado a ideia da busca incessante pelo lucro. Adicionalmente, procuramos demonstrar que a RSE poderá ser uma ótima forma de criação de valor para a empresa e como tal pode ser alcançado através da utilização de investimentos e financiamentos responsáveis, incluindo a utilização eficaz da “tributação verde”, olhando para a questão como eventual “dever” dos investidores institucionais. Finalmente, mergulhamos ainda no campo regulamentar europeu e nacional com o objetivo de compreender a sua relevância. Adicionalmente, indagamos acerca do quadro legal nacional, procurando compreender de que forma a RSE se encontra refletida enquanto dever geral para os administradores e gestores, escrutinando e classificando os vários interesses contidos na norma em apreço, constatando o enorme caminho que ainda se encontra por percorrer. For many years, we Humans, have been using the world´s resources at will for our own benefit, without contemplating the consequences that could occur. These resources we speak of do not refer only to the environment. They can also be social and economic. This unreasonable exploration of said resources and way of conducting business led to the depletion of resources, as well as social and economic inequalities we see today (some of them labor related). In this dissertation, we will address a subject that nowadays has acquired the most utter urgency. The companies, in their relentless pursuit of profit, have also been the leaders in creating the problems we just enunciated. As such, they should also be the ones leading the solution to these problems, the ones that make the greatest efforts in trying to change both the actions and mentalities, being the ones in the best position and with the greatest capacity to affect the changes needed. In the face of big changes, the consumer himself is now looking for sustainable products, companies and corporations must adapt and deliver what the customer wants, in order to stay competitive and profitable. This is where Corporate Governance and Corporate Responsibility converge, “giving birth” to what is called Corporate Social Responsibility (or CSR). In this context, it is also important to clarify the importance of the governance models adopted. Furthermore, we try to explain how important it is for companies to adopt a new way of acting and conducting business, while respecting every stakeholder involved, dropping the idea of the relentless pursuit of profit. We also try to demonstrate that CSR can be a way of creating value for the company itself and how that could be achieved with the use of sustainable investment, financing and even through an effective use of “green taxation”, and in what way that constitutes a “duty” for institutional investors. At last, we also immerse ourselves in the European and national regulatory field to understand its importance. Additionally, we look into the Portuguese legal framework, to analyse how CSR is reflected in it as a general duty for administrators and managers, scrutinizing and ranking the various interests within the norm, which still as a long way to go.

Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient. The AEC industry have been acquiring more demanding standards of sustainability and energy efficiency, requiring analysis processes to be more complex and integrated with each other. Therefore, it has become vital to implement BIM, enabling greater efficiency in the collaborative process between actors. Thus, the use of BIM can contribute to sustainability through forecasting energy consumption and their usage costs with credibility, reliability and consistency of results. The study of the benefits and barriers to the introduction of BIM in energy analysis of buildings and the analysis of the interoperability between BIM tools and specialized software for energy analysis becomes relevant, as well as the study of workflows that provide good efficiency, which will boost its correct implementation in the AEC industry Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient.

Apesar da importância da implementação de práticas sustentáveis estar devidamente comprovada e ser compreendida por grande parte da população, a ampla aplicação e implementação dos conceitos de construção sustentável ainda não é uma realidade. Diversos estudos têm sido realizados com o objetivo de compreender o porquê desta fraca aplicação tendo concluído que um dos principais fatores para tal é o facto de as práticas sustentáveis serem consideradas mais caras. Vários estudos provaram que muitas das medidas de sustentabilidade possuem custos inferiores às tradicionais numa perspetiva do ciclo de vida. Contudo, os profissionais do sector ainda não estão consciencializados deste facto e por isso não implementam medidas de construção sustentável. Neste artigo é apresentada uma metodologia de análise de custoͲbenefício de medidas de reabilitação sustentável, que pretende ultrapassar esta barreira e promover a implementação de práticas sustentáveis. The importance of implementing sustainable practices in buildings is duly proved and understood by the majority of the population. However, its implementation is not yet a reality. Some studies have been performed with the goal of understand this lack of use of sustainable solutions, among building sector stakeholders. The conclusion is that one of the main factors contributing to this is related with economic constraints. Several studies have proven that many sustainable practices correspond to minor costs than traditional practices in a life cycle perspective. However, the building sector stakeholders are not aware of this and do not implement sustainable practices commonly. In this paper a costâ benefit methodology willing to cross this barrier and promote the sustainable practices implementation is presented.

O aparecimento de novas correntes de design como, por exemplo, o eco-design, o design social e inclusivo ou o slow design, são primordiais ao nível da gestão de recursos, da relação Homem - natureza, das deficiências e limitações humanas e da sustentabilidade do nosso planeta. O presente estudo explora as perspectivas do papel do design no artesanato. Numa abordagem teórica examina conceitos como: design, o papel do designer, as novas correntes de design e o design para a sustentabilidade. O trabalho prático incide na análise de entrevistas efectuadas a estilistas e artesãos no sentido de perceber a viabilidade de um trabalho conjunto. Os resultados preliminares confirmam que as ideias do design sustentável são perfeitamente adequadas a um contexto de artesanato têxtil como se demonstra nas expressões recolhidas como: emoções, tempo, valorização e fazer à mão. The appearance of new currents of design, for example, eco-design, social and inclusive design or slow design, are essentials for the management of resources, the relationship man - nature, human weaknesses and limitations and for the sustainability of our planet. This study explores the perspectives and the role of design in the handcraft. In a theoretical approach, it examines concepts such as design, the designer's role, the new currents of design and design for sustainability. The practical work focuses on analysis of interviews with designers and craftsmen in order to realize the feasibility of a joint work. Preliminary results confirm that the ideas of sustainable design are perfectly suited to a context of textile crafts as demonstrated in the expressions collected as emotions, time, value enhancement and hand made.

Porém, assegurar condições de conforto térmico tem consequências energéticas, económicas e ambientais. Os órgãos de governo da União Europeia consideram que o aumento da eficiência energética dos edifícios é algo de extrema importância, devido a estes serem grandes consumidores de energia. Logo, um método eficaz de reduzir custos energéticos e económicos e impactos ambientais passa por tornar os edifícios muito eficientes energeticamente. A eficiência energética de um edifício está diretamente relacionada com a qualidade das suas soluções construtivas. Uma forma de melhorar as características das soluções construtivas é o uso de isolamento térmico, de modo a diminuir as trocas de calor entre o exterior e o interior de um edifício. O presente estudo tinha como objetivo a realização de uma análise económica, energética e ambiental da aplicação do isolamento térmico aos edifícios do continente europeu. Esta análise permitiu compreender a influência da aplicação de isolamento térmico na eficiência energética dos edifícios e assim perceber a influência desta medida nos custos energéticos, económicos e ambientais do ciclo de vida completo dos edifícios localizados no continente europeu. Adicionalmente, fez-se uma verificação de qual o material isolante térmico mais adequado. A análise foi efetuada segundo as perspetivas económica, energética e ambiental. Os custos do conforto térmico dependem da tipologia de uso do edifício e do tipo de clima. Assim, de forma a representar as tipologias do edificado europeu foram selecionados seis edifícios diferentes, sendo estes: um apartamento e uma moradia (edifícios residenciais), uma clínica (edifício de serviços com funcionamento permanente), uma escola e uma agência bancária (edifícios de serviços com funcionamento intermitente) e um supermercado (edifício de comércio com funcionamento intermitente. Para representar o clima do continente europeu foram selecionadas 5 localizações, em função do número de graus-dia de aquecimento e de arrefecimento, envolvendo assim 5 tipos de clima: Málaga (quente), Lisboa (moderado), Valladolid (frio), Varsóvia (muito frio), Reykjavik (extremamente frio). Recorreu-se à folha de cálculo CalProTerm para a obtenção das propriedades termofísicas das soluções construtivas opacas e ao software SEnergEd para a realização da simulação do comportamento energético, económico e ambiental do ciclo de vida dos edifícios. A versão do software SEnergEd disponibilizada não realizava a análise ambiental do ciclo de vida do edifício, pelo que foi necessário proceder à implementação desta vertente, munindo este software com os algoritmos necessários à realização do cálculo de impactos ambientais.Os resultados obtidos mostram, em termos muito genéricos, que a aplicação de isolamento térmico à envolvente opaca dos edifícios do continente europeu é mais benéfica em termos energéticos e em termos ambientais do que sob a perspetiva económica. Adicionalmente, a espessura ótima de isolamento térmico depende da tipologia de edifício, do tipo de clima e da perspetiva com que foi efetuada a análise (energética, ambiental ou económica). Thermal comfort is something increasingly valued by the human being, being fundamental for their productivity and well-being. However, ensuring thermal comfort conditions has energy, economic and environmental consequences. The Governing Bodies of the European Union consider that increasing the energy efficiency of buildings is extremely important, especially due to being one of the major energy consumers. Therefore, an effective method of reducing energy and economic costs and environmental impacts is to make buildings very energy efficient. The energy efficiency of a building is directly related to the quality of its constructive solutions. One way to improve the characteristics of constructive solutions is the use of thermal insulation, so as to decrease heat exchanges between the outside and the interior of a building.The present study aimed to carry out an economic, energy and environmental analysis of the application of thermal insulation to buildings on the European continent. This analysis made it possible to understand the influence of the application of thermal insulation on the energy efficiency of buildings and thus to understand the influence of this measure on the energy, economic and environmental costs of the complete life cycle of buildings located on the European continent. Additionally, a verification was made of which is the most suitable thermal insulating material. The analysis was carried out according to the economic, energy and environmental perspectives. Thermal comfort costs depend on the type of use of the building and the type of climate. Thus, to represent the typologies of European buildings, six different buildings were selected, namely: an apartment and a house (residential buildings), a clinic (service building with permanent operation), a school and a bank branch (buildings of services with intermittent operation) and a supermarket (commercial building with intermittent operation. To represent the climate of the European continent, 5 locations were selected, depending on the number of degree-days of heating and cooling, thus involving 5 types of climate: Malaga (hot), Lisbon (moderate), Valladolid (cold), Warsaw (very cold), Reykjavik (extremely cold).The CalProTerm spreadsheet was used to obtain the thermophysical properties of the opaque constructive solutions, the SEnergEd software was used to simulate the energy, economic and environmental behavior of the buildings' life cycle. The version of the SEnergEd software initially available did not carry out the environmental analysis of the building's life cycle, therefore it was necessary to implement this aspect, providing this software with the algorithms necessary to carry out the calculation of environmental impacts.The results obtained showed, in very general terms, that the application of thermal insulation to the opaque envelope of buildings on the European continent is more beneficial in energy and environmental terms than from an economic perspective. Additionally, the optimal thickness of thermal insulation depends on the type of building, the type of climate and the perspective from which the analysis was carried out (energy, environmental or economic).

Durante o 5º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical foram discutidos alguns pontos centrais desta área: investigação, implementação e financiamento. O objetivo deste artigo é, com base nas ideias apresentadas e do debate gerado, refletir sobre cada um dos temas, sobressaindo os aspetos mais relevantes para a atualidade e futuro das parcerias em saúde global. O artigo tem por base as apresentações, a discussão gerada e a revisão bibliográfica sobre as três temáticas centrais referidas. As parcerias em saúde global pretendem reverter e superar as assimetrias Norte/Sul em diversos níveis: capacitação, acesso, conhecimento, financiamento, investigação, ensino e desenvolvimento de ciência; contribuindo para a construção de uma sociedade baseada no conhecimento e com vista ao desenvolvimento sustentável e cobertura universal em saúde. Estas parcerias são crescentemente reconhecidas como um elemento fundamental para alcançar os ODS, existindo, no entanto, a necessidade de assegurar que não prejudicam nenhum dos intervenientes. Devem ser equilibradas e simétricas, espelhando os interesses de todas as partes envolvidas, reforçando as capacidades existentes e prezando pela transparência e inclusão de todos os parceiros em todas as fases. Assim, as parcerias em saúde global poderão ser verdadeiramente efetivas, levando a novas formas de articulação, implementação e financiamento. Partnerships in global health stand in an important position when discussing global health. During the 5th National Congress of Tropical Medicine, some central themes in this area were discussed: research, implementation and funding. This paper aims to reflect upon each theme, highlighting the most relevant aspects for the future and present of global health partnerships. It is based on the various presentations and the ensuing discussion, also relying on a literature review on the referred three central themes. Global health partnerships aim to reverse and overcome the North/South asymmetries at different levels: training, access, knowledge, funding, research, education and science development; contributing towards the construction of a knowledge-based society, aiming at sustainable development and universal health coverage. These partnerships are increasingly understood as critical to attaining all SDGs, but there is also the need to ensure that they do not harm any of the stakeholders. They must be balanced and symmetrical, reflecting the interests of all parties involved, fostering the inclusion of all partners in every stage. Therefore, partnerships in global health may be truly effective, leading to innovative ways of articulation, implementation and funding. publishersversion published

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2017 PortugalAuthors: Siqueira, Thiago Rela;Com a evolução das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs), e principalmente com a popularização da Internet, a cultura global se transformou, alterando e potencializando, principalmente, o acesso à informação. As relações entre as pessoas mudaram, exigindo das organizações adaptação a esse novo contexto e ao novo perfil de consumidores, mais exigentes e conscientes dos impactos das ações empresariais no meio ambiente. Assim, conceitos como o de Sustentabilidade e Responsabilidade Social Empresarial ganharam força, sendo necessária a sua compreensão enquanto ativo estratégico das organizações. Esse entendimento passa pela inserção da responsabilidade social na cultura e identidade organizacional e, consequentemente, na exteriorização dessa cultura aos públicos externos, agregando valor à marca e auxiliando na construção de relacionamentos mais duradouros e estáveis, o que dá espaço à atuação dos profissionais de relações públicas. Com o objetivo principal de verificar de que forma a identidade socialmente responsável da Delta Cafés é exteriorizada, em meio digital, através dos temas de comunicação, esta dissertação está estruturada como uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, apoiada em análise documental; pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo de caso. O estudo empírico é realizado a partir do modelo de Prisma de Identidade de Marca proposto por Kapferer (1991), utilizado para análise das mídias sociais da empresa objeto de estudo, nomeadamente o Instagram, o Facebook e o LinkedIn. Através dessa metodologia e com base no novo contexto de comunicação digital, busca-se responder se a exteriorização das temáticas comunicacionais por parte das relações públicas da Delta Cafés, nas mídias sociais, identifica a empresa como socialmente responsável. With the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and especially with the popularization of Internet, the global culture has changing and increasing the access to information. Relations between people have changed, requiring adaptation from organizations to this new context and to this new profile of consumers, more demanding and aware of the impact of corporate actions on the environment. Thus, concepts such as Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility gained strength, requiring their understanding as a strategic asset of the organizations. This understanding involves the integration of social responsibility in the organizational culture and identity and, consequently, the externalization of that culture to external audiences, adding value to the brand and helping to build long-lasting and stable relationships, which gives space to the actions of public relations professionals. With the main objective to verify how the socially responsible identity of Delta Cafés is externalized in digital media, through the communication issues, this dissertation is structured as a qualitative exploratory study, based on document and literature analysis; and case study. The empirical study is conducted from the Kapferer (1991) Brand Identity Prism, used to analyze the social media of the study subject company, including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Through this methodology and based on the new context of digital communication, this research try to answer if the externalization of communication issues by the public relations of Delta Cafés, in social media, identified the company as socially responsible.

A sustentabilidade é um tema que tem ganho uma relevância cada vez maior a nível nacional e mundial, a crescente preocupação com o estado do planeta proporciona uma reflexão maior sobre as ações humanas no quotidiano que, neste sentido, devem minimizar os impactos por meio de produtos, serviços, procedimentos e técnicas relacionadas com um desenvolvimento ambiental mais sustentável. Através da revisão de literatura foi possível identificar e caracterizar elementos importantes para formulação da questão de investigação, servindo como meio conceptual dos conceitos abordados ao longo desta dissertação e dando significado às questões abordadas. De forma a responder às questões de investigação, este estudo explorou por intermédio de questionários a opinião de 320 indivíduos sobre a sustentabilidade ambiental na indústria hoteleira. Simultaneamente investigou através de entrevistas ao corpo de administração de 2 hotéis, 2 grupos hoteleiros e 1 alojamento local as motivações e dificuldades para adotar medidas sustentáveis nas suas unidades. Com efeito, os resultados permitiram concluir que a sustentabilidade ambiental tem vindo a ganhar uma importância maior na vida dos inquiridos e acarreta também uma importância considerável para indústria hoteleira, não obstante entendeu-se que os inquiridos ainda consideram outras comodidades mais importantes na seleção de um hotel ou alojamento local em relação às medidas ambientais sustentáveis praticadas pela unidade, ao mesmo tempo, vii chega-se à conclusão que a gestão hoteleira tem atuado sobre a proteção ambiental dos seus estabelecimentos, mas que o modo como implementam medidas varia de acordo com as estratégia de mercado que estabelecem. The present work aims to identify and describe behaviors, attitudes and actions in the context of hospitality as cooperative measures for environmental sustainability in order to get perspectives from the client side and the manager side. Sustainability is a topic that has gained increasing relevance at national and global level, the growing concern with the state of the planet provides a greater reflection on human actions in daily life, which, in this sense, should minimize impacts through products, services, procedures and techniques related to more sustainable environmental development. Through the literature review, it was possible to identify and characterize important elements that helps formulating the research question, serving as a conceptual means of the concepts covered throughout this dissertation and giving meaning to the issues addressed. In order to answer the research questions, this study explored, through questionnaires, the opinion of 320 individuals about the environmental sustainability in the hotel industry. At the same time, through interviews with the board of directors of 2 hotels, 2 hotel groups and 1 local accommodation, it was investigated the motivations and difficulties about adopting sustainable measures in their units. In fact, the results allowed to conclude that environmental sustainability has been gaining a greater importance in the life of the respondents and also entails considerable importance for the hotel industry, although it was understood that the respondents still consider more important other facilities while selecting a hotel or local accommodation in relation to the sustainable environmental measures practiced by the unit, at the same time, it is concluded that the hotel management has been acted on the environmental protection of its x establishments, but the way they implement measures varies according to the strategies that they establish.

Assiste-se por parte das empresas à sua incorporação, desenvolvendo estratégias de forma a integrar as preocupações mais atuais aos níveis sociais, ambientais e de governação nas suas atividades e operações. Para além das empresas puderem ajudar a mitigar estas preocupações, os investimentos nestas áreas podem trazer-lhes diversos benefícios. Este estudo pretende analisar qual a perceção dos consumidores sobre estes temas e a importância que têm para os mesmos, aplicando-se a um caso prático sobre a seguradora Fidelidade. Com base num inquérito preparado para este fim, cujas respostas eram anónimas, pretendeu-se medir a perceção atual que os consumidores têm sobre a Fidelidade e estudar as formas de aumentar a sua perceção a futuro. More and more, consumers demand companies with responsible and sustainable businesses, becoming terms such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and ESG a part of day by day of the recent enterprise world. Those are being incorporated by enterprises, which are developing strategies to integrate the most recent concerns at social, environmental and governance levels into their activities and operations. Beyond the fact of companies might be able to mitigate these concerns, investments in these areas can reward them with several benefits. This thesis aims to analyse the perception of consumers on these themes and its importance for them, applying it to a practical case about the insurance company Fidelidade. Based on a survey designed for this purpose, whose answers were anonymous, it was evaluated the current perception that consumers have about Fidelidade, as well as it was studied how to increase their perception in the future.

É uma obrigação da empresa alcançar metas sustentáveis de longo prazo para os seus funcionários e também para o mundo em geral. O papel do gestor de operações é conseguir balançar todos os desafios que surgem à medida que o ambiente económico, social político e tecnológico altera. Há toda uma análise necessária entre os incentivos que o governo de cada país fornece e o proveito que a empresa consegue retirar da implementação destas políticas. Surge aqui a questão fulcral se a adoção destas políticas não é meramente por interesses económicos por parte destas organizações. O presente trabalho visa, por isso, avaliar a aplicação de medidas de responsabilidade social corporativa em empresas internacionais. Foi elaborado através do estudo e análise de duas organizações internacionais com as suas operações já delineadas, a FARFETCH e a FERPINTA. Ao longo do trabalho são avaliados os desafios enfrentados por estes dois grupos internacionais cujo as indústrias nas quais operam são inequivocamente diferentes. Inicialmente, realiza-se revisão de literatura, de seguida é feito um resumo dos dois grupos. Posteriormente, é feita a análise das entrevistas levadas a cabo com diferentes colaboradores e de diferentes departamentos das empresas de forma a recolher uma amostra variada dos pontos de vistas e das ações de responsabilidade social levadas a cabo. Por fim, é feita uma análise geral com a análise dos resultados das entrevistas e dados recolhidos. Após recolhidas e formuladas as análises, são sugeridas possíveis ações de implementação por parte das empresas. Currently, there is an increasing need for companies to adopt some kind of corporate social responsibility measure. It is an obligation of the company to achieve sustainable long-term goals for its employees and also for the world at large. The operations manager's role is to balance all the challenges that arise as the economic, social, political, and technological environment changes. There is a whole necessary analysis between the incentives that the government of each country provides and the benefit that the company is able to derive from the implementation of these policies. Here, the central question arises whether the adoption of these policies is not merely for economic interests. The present work aims, therefore, to evaluate the application of corporate social responsibility measures in international companies. It was prepared through the study and analysis of two international organizations with their operations already outlined, FARFETCH and FERPINTA. Throughout the work, the challenges faced by these two international groups whose industries in which they operate are unequivocally different are evaluated. Initially, a literature review is carried out, followed by a summary of the two groups. Subsequently, an analysis of the interviews is carried out with different employees and from different departments of the companies in order to collect a varied sample of the points of view and the social responsibility actions implemented. Finally, a general analysis is made with the evaluation of the results of the interviews and data collected. After collecting and formulating the analyses, possible implementation actions by the companies are suggested.

Estes recursos de que falamos não se referem apenas ao ambiente. Podem também ser sociais e económicos. Esta exploração irrazoável dos referidos recursos e forma de conduzir os negócios levou ao esgotamento dos mesmos, bem como às desigualdades sociais e económicas que vemos hoje (algumas delas relacionadas com a vertente laboral). Nesta dissertação, abordaremos um tema que hoje adquire a mais absoluta urgência. As empresas, na sua busca incessante pelo lucro, têm sido também os líderes na criação dos problemas que acabámos de enunciar. Como tal, devem também ser elas a liderar a solução para estes problemas, quem desenvolve maiores esforços na tentativa de mudar, tanto as acções, como as mentalidades, sendo quem que se encontra na melhor posição e com maior capacidade para afetar as mudanças necessárias. Face às grandes mudanças que se impõem, o próprio consumidor procura agora produtos sustentáveis, pelo que as empresas devem adaptar-se e entregar ao cliente o que este pretende, a fim de se manterem competitivas e rentáveis. É aqui que convergem a Corporate Governance e a Responsabilidade Empresarial, dando origem ao que se apelida Responsabilidade Social Empresarial (ou RSE). Neste contexto, é também importante clarificar a importância dos modelos de governação adotados. Ademais, tentaremos demonstrar a importância de adoção de novas formas de ação e condução da atividade empresarial, respeitando, simultaneamente, as várias partes envolvidas, abandonado a ideia da busca incessante pelo lucro. Adicionalmente, procuramos demonstrar que a RSE poderá ser uma ótima forma de criação de valor para a empresa e como tal pode ser alcançado através da utilização de investimentos e financiamentos responsáveis, incluindo a utilização eficaz da “tributação verde”, olhando para a questão como eventual “dever” dos investidores institucionais. Finalmente, mergulhamos ainda no campo regulamentar europeu e nacional com o objetivo de compreender a sua relevância. Adicionalmente, indagamos acerca do quadro legal nacional, procurando compreender de que forma a RSE se encontra refletida enquanto dever geral para os administradores e gestores, escrutinando e classificando os vários interesses contidos na norma em apreço, constatando o enorme caminho que ainda se encontra por percorrer. For many years, we Humans, have been using the world´s resources at will for our own benefit, without contemplating the consequences that could occur. These resources we speak of do not refer only to the environment. They can also be social and economic. This unreasonable exploration of said resources and way of conducting business led to the depletion of resources, as well as social and economic inequalities we see today (some of them labor related). In this dissertation, we will address a subject that nowadays has acquired the most utter urgency. The companies, in their relentless pursuit of profit, have also been the leaders in creating the problems we just enunciated. As such, they should also be the ones leading the solution to these problems, the ones that make the greatest efforts in trying to change both the actions and mentalities, being the ones in the best position and with the greatest capacity to affect the changes needed. In the face of big changes, the consumer himself is now looking for sustainable products, companies and corporations must adapt and deliver what the customer wants, in order to stay competitive and profitable. This is where Corporate Governance and Corporate Responsibility converge, “giving birth” to what is called Corporate Social Responsibility (or CSR). In this context, it is also important to clarify the importance of the governance models adopted. Furthermore, we try to explain how important it is for companies to adopt a new way of acting and conducting business, while respecting every stakeholder involved, dropping the idea of the relentless pursuit of profit. We also try to demonstrate that CSR can be a way of creating value for the company itself and how that could be achieved with the use of sustainable investment, financing and even through an effective use of “green taxation”, and in what way that constitutes a “duty” for institutional investors. At last, we also immerse ourselves in the European and national regulatory field to understand its importance. Additionally, we look into the Portuguese legal framework, to analyse how CSR is reflected in it as a general duty for administrators and managers, scrutinizing and ranking the various interests within the norm, which still as a long way to go.

Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient. The AEC industry have been acquiring more demanding standards of sustainability and energy efficiency, requiring analysis processes to be more complex and integrated with each other. Therefore, it has become vital to implement BIM, enabling greater efficiency in the collaborative process between actors. Thus, the use of BIM can contribute to sustainability through forecasting energy consumption and their usage costs with credibility, reliability and consistency of results. The study of the benefits and barriers to the introduction of BIM in energy analysis of buildings and the analysis of the interoperability between BIM tools and specialized software for energy analysis becomes relevant, as well as the study of workflows that provide good efficiency, which will boost its correct implementation in the AEC industry Currently there is a growing concern about climate change resulting from increased CO2 emissions, leading to an increasing demand of buildings that are more sustainable and energy efficient.

Apesar da importância da implementação de práticas sustentáveis estar devidamente comprovada e ser compreendida por grande parte da população, a ampla aplicação e implementação dos conceitos de construção sustentável ainda não é uma realidade. Diversos estudos têm sido realizados com o objetivo de compreender o porquê desta fraca aplicação tendo concluído que um dos principais fatores para tal é o facto de as práticas sustentáveis serem consideradas mais caras. Vários estudos provaram que muitas das medidas de sustentabilidade possuem custos inferiores às tradicionais numa perspetiva do ciclo de vida. Contudo, os profissionais do sector ainda não estão consciencializados deste facto e por isso não implementam medidas de construção sustentável. Neste artigo é apresentada uma metodologia de análise de custoͲbenefício de medidas de reabilitação sustentável, que pretende ultrapassar esta barreira e promover a implementação de práticas sustentáveis. The importance of implementing sustainable practices in buildings is duly proved and understood by the majority of the population. However, its implementation is not yet a reality. Some studies have been performed with the goal of understand this lack of use of sustainable solutions, among building sector stakeholders. The conclusion is that one of the main factors contributing to this is related with economic constraints. Several studies have proven that many sustainable practices correspond to minor costs than traditional practices in a life cycle perspective. However, the building sector stakeholders are not aware of this and do not implement sustainable practices commonly. In this paper a costâ benefit methodology willing to cross this barrier and promote the sustainable practices implementation is presented.

O aparecimento de novas correntes de design como, por exemplo, o eco-design, o design social e inclusivo ou o slow design, são primordiais ao nível da gestão de recursos, da relação Homem - natureza, das deficiências e limitações humanas e da sustentabilidade do nosso planeta. O presente estudo explora as perspectivas do papel do design no artesanato. Numa abordagem teórica examina conceitos como: design, o papel do designer, as novas correntes de design e o design para a sustentabilidade. O trabalho prático incide na análise de entrevistas efectuadas a estilistas e artesãos no sentido de perceber a viabilidade de um trabalho conjunto. Os resultados preliminares confirmam que as ideias do design sustentável são perfeitamente adequadas a um contexto de artesanato têxtil como se demonstra nas expressões recolhidas como: emoções, tempo, valorização e fazer à mão. The appearance of new currents of design, for example, eco-design, social and inclusive design or slow design, are essentials for the management of resources, the relationship man - nature, human weaknesses and limitations and for the sustainability of our planet. This study explores the perspectives and the role of design in the handcraft. In a theoretical approach, it examines concepts such as design, the designer's role, the new currents of design and design for sustainability. The practical work focuses on analysis of interviews with designers and craftsmen in order to realize the feasibility of a joint work. Preliminary results confirm that the ideas of sustainable design are perfectly suited to a context of textile crafts as demonstrated in the expressions collected as emotions, time, value enhancement and hand made.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2022 PortugalAuthors: Sousa, Afonso Marques de;Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Mecânica apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia O conforto térmico é algo cada vez mais valorizado pelo ser humano, sendo fundamental para a sua produtividade e o seu bem-estar. Porém, assegurar condições de conforto térmico tem consequências energéticas, económicas e ambientais. Os órgãos de governo da União Europeia consideram que o aumento da eficiência energética dos edifícios é algo de extrema importância, devido a estes serem grandes consumidores de energia. Logo, um método eficaz de reduzir custos energéticos e económicos e impactos ambientais passa por tornar os edifícios muito eficientes energeticamente. A eficiência energética de um edifício está diretamente relacionada com a qualidade das suas soluções construtivas. Uma forma de melhorar as características das soluções construtivas é o uso de isolamento térmico, de modo a diminuir as trocas de calor entre o exterior e o interior de um edifício. O presente estudo tinha como objetivo a realização de uma análise económica, energética e ambiental da aplicação do isolamento térmico aos edifícios do continente europeu. Esta análise permitiu compreender a influência da aplicação de isolamento térmico na eficiência energética dos edifícios e assim perceber a influência desta medida nos custos energéticos, económicos e ambientais do ciclo de vida completo dos edifícios localizados no continente europeu. Adicionalmente, fez-se uma verificação de qual o material isolante térmico mais adequado. A análise foi efetuada segundo as perspetivas económica, energética e ambiental. Os custos do conforto térmico dependem da tipologia de uso do edifício e do tipo de clima. Assim, de forma a representar as tipologias do edificado europeu foram selecionados seis edifícios diferentes, sendo estes: um apartamento e uma moradia (edifícios residenciais), uma clínica (edifício de serviços com funcionamento permanente), uma escola e uma agência bancária (edifícios de serviços com funcionamento intermitente) e um supermercado (edifício de comércio com funcionamento intermitente. Para representar o clima do continente europeu foram selecionadas 5 localizações, em função do número de graus-dia de aquecimento e de arrefecimento, envolvendo assim 5 tipos de clima: Málaga (quente), Lisboa (moderado), Valladolid (frio), Varsóvia (muito frio), Reykjavik (extremamente frio). Recorreu-se à folha de cálculo CalProTerm para a obtenção das propriedades termofísicas das soluções construtivas opacas e ao software SEnergEd para a realização da simulação do comportamento energético, económico e ambiental do ciclo de vida dos edifícios. A versão do software SEnergEd disponibilizada não realizava a análise ambiental do ciclo de vida do edifício, pelo que foi necessário proceder à implementação desta vertente, munindo este software com os algoritmos necessários à realização do cálculo de impactos ambientais.Os resultados obtidos mostram, em termos muito genéricos, que a aplicação de isolamento térmico à envolvente opaca dos edifícios do continente europeu é mais benéfica em termos energéticos e em termos ambientais do que sob a perspetiva económica. Adicionalmente, a espessura ótima de isolamento térmico depende da tipologia de edifício, do tipo de clima e da perspetiva com que foi efetuada a análise (energética, ambiental ou económica). Thermal comfort is something increasingly valued by the human being, being fundamental for their productivity and well-being. However, ensuring thermal comfort conditions has energy, economic and environmental consequences. The Governing Bodies of the European Union consider that increasing the energy efficiency of buildings is extremely important, especially due to being one of the major energy consumers. Therefore, an effective method of reducing energy and economic costs and environmental impacts is to make buildings very energy efficient. The energy efficiency of a building is directly related to the quality of its constructive solutions. One way to improve the characteristics of constructive solutions is the use of thermal insulation, so as to decrease heat exchanges between the outside and the interior of a building.The present study aimed to carry out an economic, energy and environmental analysis of the application of thermal insulation to buildings on the European continent. This analysis made it possible to understand the influence of the application of thermal insulation on the energy efficiency of buildings and thus to understand the influence of this measure on the energy, economic and environmental costs of the complete life cycle of buildings located on the European continent. Additionally, a verification was made of which is the most suitable thermal insulating material. The analysis was carried out according to the economic, energy and environmental perspectives. Thermal comfort costs depend on the type of use of the building and the type of climate. Thus, to represent the typologies of European buildings, six different buildings were selected, namely: an apartment and a house (residential buildings), a clinic (service building with permanent operation), a school and a bank branch (buildings of services with intermittent operation) and a supermarket (commercial building with intermittent operation. To represent the climate of the European continent, 5 locations were selected, depending on the number of degree-days of heating and cooling, thus involving 5 types of climate: Malaga (hot), Lisbon (moderate), Valladolid (cold), Warsaw (very cold), Reykjavik (extremely cold).The CalProTerm spreadsheet was used to obtain the thermophysical properties of the opaque constructive solutions, the SEnergEd software was used to simulate the energy, economic and environmental behavior of the buildings' life cycle. The version of the SEnergEd software initially available did not carry out the environmental analysis of the building's life cycle, therefore it was necessary to implement this aspect, providing this software with the algorithms necessary to carry out the calculation of environmental impacts.The results obtained showed, in very general terms, that the application of thermal insulation to the opaque envelope of buildings on the European continent is more beneficial in energy and environmental terms than from an economic perspective. Additionally, the optimal thickness of thermal insulation depends on the type of building, the type of climate and the perspective from which the analysis was carried out (energy, environmental or economic).

Durante o 5º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical foram discutidos alguns pontos centrais desta área: investigação, implementação e financiamento. O objetivo deste artigo é, com base nas ideias apresentadas e do debate gerado, refletir sobre cada um dos temas, sobressaindo os aspetos mais relevantes para a atualidade e futuro das parcerias em saúde global. O artigo tem por base as apresentações, a discussão gerada e a revisão bibliográfica sobre as três temáticas centrais referidas. As parcerias em saúde global pretendem reverter e superar as assimetrias Norte/Sul em diversos níveis: capacitação, acesso, conhecimento, financiamento, investigação, ensino e desenvolvimento de ciência; contribuindo para a construção de uma sociedade baseada no conhecimento e com vista ao desenvolvimento sustentável e cobertura universal em saúde. Estas parcerias são crescentemente reconhecidas como um elemento fundamental para alcançar os ODS, existindo, no entanto, a necessidade de assegurar que não prejudicam nenhum dos intervenientes. Devem ser equilibradas e simétricas, espelhando os interesses de todas as partes envolvidas, reforçando as capacidades existentes e prezando pela transparência e inclusão de todos os parceiros em todas as fases. Assim, as parcerias em saúde global poderão ser verdadeiramente efetivas, levando a novas formas de articulação, implementação e financiamento. Partnerships in global health stand in an important position when discussing global health. During the 5th National Congress of Tropical Medicine, some central themes in this area were discussed: research, implementation and funding. This paper aims to reflect upon each theme, highlighting the most relevant aspects for the future and present of global health partnerships. It is based on the various presentations and the ensuing discussion, also relying on a literature review on the referred three central themes. Global health partnerships aim to reverse and overcome the North/South asymmetries at different levels: training, access, knowledge, funding, research, education and science development; contributing towards the construction of a knowledge-based society, aiming at sustainable development and universal health coverage. These partnerships are increasingly understood as critical to attaining all SDGs, but there is also the need to ensure that they do not harm any of the stakeholders. They must be balanced and symmetrical, reflecting the interests of all parties involved, fostering the inclusion of all partners in every stage. Therefore, partnerships in global health may be truly effective, leading to innovative ways of articulation, implementation and funding. publishersversion published
