Abstract
In this paper, we continue our investigations on digital nomadism and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the work-related aspects and lifestyle of digital nomads (DN). The findings presented in this empirical study reflect the analysis of the impact of COVID-19 outbreak (and its waves) on the market economy and work-life boundaries of DNs as perceived from posts and comments gathered from a Reddit community during the period of early March 2020 until the end of 2022. From this point, our results indicate that the massification of remote work among formal workers in response to COVID-19 pandemic has impacted both the formal labor market and the DN ecosystem. As a consequence, we argue that digital nomadism tends to play a critical role beyond work from (almost) anywhere (WFA) in a post-COVID-19 era taking into account the novel facets of nomadic work-lifestyle.

ACCIDENT ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION

Abstract
The human-environment-vehicle triad and how it relates to crashes has long been a topic of discussion, in which the human factor is consistently seen as the leading cause. Recently, more sophisticated approaches to Road Safety have advocated for a road-driver interaction view, in which human characteristics influence road perception and road environment affects driver behavior. This study focuses on road-driver interaction by using a driving simulator. The objective is to investigate how the driver profile influences driving performance and the effects of three countermeasures (peripheral transverse lines before and after the beginning of the curves and roadside poles in the curves). Fifty-six middle-aged male participants drove a non-challenging rural highway simulated scenario based on a real road where many single-vehicle crashes occurred. The drivers' profiles were assessed through their behavioral history measured by a validated version of the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) comprising three dimensions: Errors (E), Ordinary Violations (OV), and Aggressive Violations (AV). The relationship between speed and trajectory measures and drivers' profiles was investigated using randomparameter models with heterogeneity in the means. The models' results showed that the DBQ subscale scores in OV explained a considerable part of the heterogeneity found in drivers' performance. Furthermore, the heterogeneity in the means caused by the DBQ subscale scores in OV and E in the presence of peripheral transverse lines indicates a difference in how drivers react to the countermeasures. The peripheral lines were more efficient than roadside poles to moderate speed but did not positively influence all drivers' trajectories. Although the peripheral lines could be seen as an alternative to change driver behavior in a non-challenging or monotonous road environment, the design used in this study should be reviewed.

Educação: Teoria e Prática

Abstract
Na viragem do milénio, decorrentes sobretudo do Processo de Bolonha e da (r)evolução tecnológica, colocaram-se ao Ensino Superior e aos docentes vários desafios, nomeadamente os relacionados com questões pedagógicas. Tendo essa situação por referência, o artigo apresenta um estudo que analisou a produção académica em Portugal entre 2012-2021, pesquisada com recurso a diversas bases de dados e interpretada por técnicas de análise de frequência e de conteúdo. A análise evidenciou que: o número de artigos publicados em revistas indexadas ou em atas de conferências não foi tão expressivo como a urgência da reflexão que a temática merecia; o número de teses de doutoramento e dissertações de mestrado com foco nas questões pedagógicas no Ensino Superior foi relativamente reduzido; a metodologia desses trabalhos, embora distribuída entre procedimentos de orientação qualitativa, mista e quantitativa, teve menor expressão neste último tipo metodológico; muitos dos autores dos trabalhos académicos são do campo educacional, embora existam também autores de outras áreas científicas; a maior parte dos trabalhos académicos teve como foco a formação pedagógica dos docentes do Ensino Superior, a que se seguiram estudos relativos a práticas pedagógicas e a desafios colocados ao Ensino Superior. A par dessas conclusões, o estudo permitiu identificar limitações que justificam o seu aprofundamento, mas também recomendações para futuros trabalhos de investigação sobre essa temática.

Abstract
In the evolving landscape of global education, Artificial Intelligence's (AI) integration into Learning Management Systems (LMS) promises a transformative shift. This paper presents Mozambique's journey in this domain, comparing it with global advancements. While the Mozambican higher education sector stands at the cusp of a digital revolution, its engagement with AI in LMS remains foundational. This is juxtaposed against the global trend where AI tools, such as ChatGPT, are rapidly becoming standard in many educational platforms, enhancing personalization, efficiency, and data-driven insights. The benefits of AI integration, such as tailored learning experiences and administrative automation, are counterbalanced by challenges, including data privacy concerns and over-reliance on technology. Drawing from real-world case studies, the paper highlights pioneering endeavours that showcase AI's potential in reshaping educational paradigms. As Mozambique navigates its unique challenges, insights from global best practices offer a roadmap for harnessing the transformative potential of AI in LMS, aiming to elevate its higher education sector to new heights.;Na evolução da educação global, a integração da Inteligência Artificial (IA) nos Sistemas de Gestão de Aprendizagem (LMS) promete uma transformação significativa. Este artigo investiga a jornada de Moçambique neste domínio, comparando-a com os avanços globais. Enquanto o setor de ensino superior moçambicano está à beira de uma revolução digital, seu envolvimento com a IA em LMS ainda está em uma fase inicial. Isso é contrastado com a tendência global, onde ferramentas de IA, como o ChatGPT, estão rapidamente se a se tornar padrão em muitas plataformas educativas, aprimorando a personalização, eficiência e insights baseados em dados. Os benefícios da integração da IA, como experiências de aprendizagem adaptadas e automação administrativa, são equilibrados por desafios, incluindo preocupações com a privacidade dos dados e excesso de dependência da tecnologia. Através de estudos de caso do mundo real, o artigo destaca esforços pioneiros que mostram o potencial da IA em remodelar os paradigmas educacionais. Enquanto Moçambique navega pelos seus desafios únicos, os insights das melhores práticas globais oferecem um roteiro para aproveitar o potencial transformador da IA em SGA, com o objetivo de elevar seu setor de ensino superior a novos patamares.
