Abstract
This study presents a new tridimensional perspective on Castelo Velho de Safara (Moura), one of the great walled settlements of the Iron Age/Roman Republic by the Guadiana River, obtained through a high-resolution survey using a drone integrated with a LiDAR sensor. The outline of the walls was defined in more detail, which meant revising the occupation area, now estimated at circa 1.36 hectares. Several unknown elements were detected, such as the entrance area and other possible defensive structures. The data obtained for the Castelo Velho de Safara demonstrate the potential of LiDAR for understanding the topographical characteristics of this type of fortified enclosure, whose structural remains are not always clear to the naked eye. © 2023, APEQ - Associacao Portuguesa para o Estudo do Quaternario.

Abstract
GIS are an essential element in archaeology. Their use has become widespread for their potential to store, reference, analyse and visualise spatial information. Nonetheless, to the best of our knowledge, a systematic review of academic peer-reviewed publications related to the use of GIS, as a framework, in archaeology has never been presented before. Our goal in this work is to identify what has been published so far in relation to using GIS in archaeology within a small selected sample. We used the PRISMA guideline to perform a systematic review of 671 publications that we identified using the SCOPUS database and the keywords ‘GIS’ and ‘archaeology’. The collected publications were screened, analysed, and categorized into different relevant categories. Our analysis shows that GIS, in our selected sample, are mostly used for visualization and information management tasks. Moreover, spatial analysis studies were more common than other studies, and theoretical publications are scarce. The lack of a theoretical background in GIS may be the cause of some of the problems related to GIS applications in archaeology.

Abstract
Mapping potential archaeological sites using remote sensing and artificial intelligence can be an efficient tool to assist archaeologists during project planning and fieldwork. This paper explores the use of airborne LiDAR data and data-centric artificial intelligence for identifying potential burial mounds. The challenge of exploring the landscape and mapping new archaeological sites, coupled with the difficulty of identifying them through visual analysis of remote sensing data, results in the recurring issue of insufficient annotations. Additionally, the top-down nature of LiDAR data hinders artificial intelligence in its search, as the morphology of archaeological sites blends with the morphology of natural and artificial shapes, leading to a frequent occurrence of false positives. To address this problem, a novel data-centric artificial intelligence approach is proposed, exploring the available data and tools. The LiDAR data is pre-processed into a dataset of 2D digital elevation images, and the known burial mounds are annotated. This dataset is augmented with a copy-paste object embedding based on Location-Based Ranking. This technique uses the Land-Use and Occupation Charter to segment the regions of interest, where burial mounds can be pasted. YOLOv5 is trained on the resulting dataset to propose new burial mounds. These proposals go through a post-processing step, directly using the 3D data acquired by the LiDAR to verify if its 3D shape is similar to the annotated sites. This approach drastically reduced false positives, attaining a 72.53% positive rate, relevant for the ground-truthing phase where archaeologists visit the coordinates of proposed burial mounds to confirm their existence.

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.

Abstract
The intensive use of electronic equipment and the growing offer of services over the Internet has increased the incidence of computer crime. Although there are public measures in Portugal aimed at promoting the digital skills of citizens in matters of security and privacy of electronic equipment, they need to address the more complex aspects of this type of crime. Due to this specificity, preventive measures of the phenomenon may benefit from the know-how and experience of entities with legal powers in the area, especially the National Center for Cybersecurity (CNCS), the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP), and the Judicial Police (PJ). In the public administration in Portugal, emerging technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are being adopted to enhance communication between the State and citizens. Awareness-raising extensive actions should make use of these technological tools. Thus, this article describes the research leading to the identification of an efficient electronic device (artifact) in an e-government context aimed at informing and raising awareness among citizens about the growing phenomenon of cybercrime.
