Abstract
With the evolution of technology and all the associated paradigms, the business reality had the need to adapt and incorporate all this evolution. Gamification strategies in social networks are used to optimize the use and involvement of users. Thus, in a business context, these strategies are used to increase user engagement in the company/brand's social networks with the aim of increasing and strengthening trust. This chapter's main objectives are to understand if internet users and social media users know the term gamification and if the associated strategies are perceptible in the social media context. Therefore, to better analyze the users' behavior regarding these strategies and their knowledge about gamification, an online survey was developed and applied. After the survey, it was possible to conclude that 16.3% of the respondents already knew the term gamification. Through the survey it was also possible to conclude that most respondents had already been in contact with gamification strategies, even if 90.6% did not adhere to them frequently.

Abstract
Background: E-commerce has emerged as a good response to the pandemic of COVID-19. However, the costs of providing a service, which includes a driver and a vehicle, in a regular vehicle that can transport goods that need positive cold (0 & DEG; to 5 & DEG;C) are very high. Objectives: This paper aims to investigate how a big Portuguese retailer company can reduce its dependence on refrigerated vehicles, simplifying operations and reducing the costs of transporting positive and negative cold food. Methods/Approach: This research was carried out in a food retailer Portuguese company, more precisely in a Dark Store dedicated to the online channel. The study was developed based on the AS-IS/TO-BE process analysis methodology, starting with the analysis of the current situation, giving rise to the so-called AS-IS model. Results: It was possible to reduce costs associated with transporting positive cold goods. As a result, there are 30% fewer costs associated with order transportation. With an additional 10% in space optimization with the gain of space within the galley of each vehicle. Conclusions: The costs of transporting positive and negative cold foods were decreased, and substituting vehicles with room temperature transport reduced the need for refrigerated vehicles.

Abstract
Background: Regional Development (RD) allows countries to balance regional differences by providing economic and social benefits to communities. This research highlights the importance of logistics activities to regional social development, and a framework to assess these connections is proposed. Objectives: How to boost regional socioeconomic development through logistics. Methods/Approach: The contributions of logistics to socioeconomic development are analysed based on the previous research, and the case of the Alto Minho (AM) region in Portugal was used to illustrate the connection between logistics and regional development. Results showed that logistics had created jobs, increased company turnover and exports, and increased GDP growth in several regions. For the AM region, results indicate that many companies are operating in this area, contributing to supporting municipalities to reduce regional disparities. Conclusions: A framework for assessing regional logistics performance is proposed together with several logistics performance indicators. This approach is essential for future developments integrating logistics into socioeconomic development.

Abstract
A pandemia Covid-19 teve um profundo impacto nos processos pedagógicos das universidades de ensino presencial. O confinamento obrigatório da população universitária implicou a transposição do ensino presencial em sala para as aulas realizadas online, levando a um aumento considerável do uso de sistemas de videoconferência, estabelecendo novas (ou reforçando as existentes) comunidades de aprendizagem online. Estas práticas de aprendizagem online tendem a se manter após o fim da pandemia na medida em que proporcionem alternativas complementares de contacto, partilha e colaboração em rede, determinando formas não estruturadas de modelos pedagógicos híbridos de ensino a distância. Neste artigo descrevemos práticas concretas de ensino online implementadas durante a pandemia em duas universidades de ensino presencial, a Universidade de São José em Macau; e a Universidade de São Paulo, Brasil, procedendo à sua análise crítica à luz da práxis de ensino a distância online em voga na Universidade Aberta, Portugal, uma universidade virtual de ensino a distância, tendo em vista a definição de um modelo pedagógico virtual de cariz geral que possa proporcionar princípios e linhas mestras para o planeamento, organização e implementação de oferta educativa de nível universitário administrável online para os tempos pós-pandémicos suportada nas evidências da pesquisa e tendências emergentes.
