This proceedings volume consists of papers presented at the Sixth International Workshop on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transpon, which was held at the Fund~lio Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon from July 6th to 9th, 1993. In the tradition of alternating Workshops between North America and Europe - Chicago (1975), Leeds (1980), Montreal (1983), Hamburg (1987) and again Montreal (1990), the European city of Lisbon was selected as the venue for the Workshop in 1993. As in earlier Workshops, the central theme dealt with vehicle and duty scheduling problems and the employment of operations-research-based software systems for operational planning in public transport. However, as was initiated in Hamburg in 1987, the scope of this Workshop was broadened to include topics in related fields. This fundamental alteration was an inevitable consequence of the growing demand over the last decade for solutions to the complete planning process in public transport through integrated systems. Therefore, the program of this workshop included sections which dealt with scheduling problems and computerized systems for operational planning as well as sections on network planning and data management.
This book examines how the career counselling profession should respond to the changes in the world of work that have resulted from the increasing need to communicate faster and disseminate information more efficiently. It emphasizes the twin aims of enhancing a persons’ career adaptability and helping them to become more employable, rather than linearly trying to find a job and remaining in one organisation for their entire career-lives. The book shows that, to achieve these aims, people need to acquire career resilience, especially since the world of work no longer provides workers with work-holding environments for the duration of their career-lives. It takes into account historical analyses which show that whenever major technological change has occurred and widespread job losses have ensued, people have managed to use the new technology to create new employment opportunities. Readers from career psychology and management research, vocational and professional career coaching, and students of career psychology will find this book delivers sound, updated theory demonstrating how perceived threats in the 21st century can conceivably be turned into opportunities.
Os passionários polifónicos de Coimbra e Guimarães, produção geminada do Mosteiro de Santa Cruz no início do seu apogeu musical, felizmente identificados no momento certo, abriram um horizonte novo no que respeita a prática da música sacra em Portugal, excecionalmente abundante e qualificada no longo período de crise sócio-política que atravessou as últimas décadas do século XVI e todo o século XVII. O estudo aprofundado dos mesmos, complementado por numerosos espécimes congéneres reconhecidos nos principais arquivos de música portugueses, deu a conhecer uma forma própria de se cantar a Paixão litúrgica em Portugal. Definido o modelo de cantochão tradicional português,...
This book examines a topic widely regarded as the most pressing in career counselling today, i.e., how to ensure that everyone receives career counselling and that all workers have the opportunity to engage in sustainable, decent work. The author holds that career counselling should not only advance workers’ self- and career construction, helping them design successful career-lives and make social contributions, and live purposeful lives – it should also expound new theoretical approaches and interventions. Furthermore, the book criticizes global society for overlooking the basic needs of many workers, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. An important feature of the book is ...

This book integrates several papers which were presented on the Ist International Conference on Time Perspective – Converging Paths in Psychology Time Theory and Research that took place 5-8 September 2012, at the University of Coimbra. Being the first, we hope it to be a milestone in highlighting the effort spent by different psychological approaches to understand the role played by time concepts in individual, group, and organizational development. The Conference was hosted by the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Science of the University of Coimbra (Portugal), (its foundation takes back to 1290), and an institution for which the notions of a rich past history and future strategic p...
A atividade judiciária vem sendo criticada pela incapacidade de conferir celeridade às demandas que lhe são apresentadas e entregar uma rápida solução dos conflitos postos a sua apreciação. A problemática da dificuldade em resolver de forma breve as lides judiciais agrava-se pelo crescente número de demandas que aportam ao Poder Judiciário e pela dificuldade de a legislação acompanhar as ondas do acesso facilitado à justiça. O sistema processual civil brasileiro, principal trilho por onde rumam as ações judiciais, vem sofrendo sucessivas alterações com o fito de levar a cabo esse embate entre o aumento de demandas e a morosidade da tramitação processual. A última grande...
