Abstract
This study gives suggestions on how to decrease academic cheating. This exploratory study discusses how engaging students, with the case study approach, has led to the submission of more honest course work. What needs to change is the challenge – requiring too much is worse than not requiring anything at all, as the former is an incentive to academic cheating. Students need reachable goals and not to be over-swamped with course work. In the UK this may seem obvious but not so in other countries, where a number of students are known for copying and for not submitting original work to their lecturers (Teixeira, 2011). How might one attempt to change this trend of trying to get around the education system? This paper is about how to engage students – be it in the classroom, be it when they are at home, doing their course work. If it may be true that success is all about how much work you put in (Oliveira, 1993; Mansfield and Oliveira, 1994, 1995), then success in academia is about how you motivate students to want to excel based on their own merit and hard work (Au-Yong-Oliveira and Almeida, 2015). Rather than measuring a lecturer’s success on his or her pass rates of students, or by judging him or her on satisfaction scores given by students, lecturers should recognize that what is required is that they have a lasting effect on their students – in essence, changing their lives. Why are starting salaries so low in Portugal? Why is it so hard for students who have just graduated to find a job in Portugal? Why is the immigration rate so high amongst Portugal’s youths? A lot has to do with the education system – which is, albeit, at some institutions, already very practical, in the management studies domain. What we discuss herein is how to elicit honest contributions and how to gain genuine interest from higher education students – both at the undergraduate as well as postgraduate levels. Certain academic environments need change. This paper is about how to bring about that change and what lecturers can do, in particular with regards to research methodology, to revolutionize academia and perhaps even youth employment rates in the country. The account is by lecturers with teaching experience in a dozen higher education institutions. Having worked with Erasmus students the authors are well aware that plagiarism is also a problem in other countries, besides Portugal – notably, in Spain, Greece, and new democracies in Eastern Europe.

Abstract
Taking the case of the University of Aveiro, we herein analyse why students choose to abandon their higher education degrees. To date, and as a result of focus group and brainstorming interactions, as well as of an analysis performed at the highest levels in the university, the following twelve causes for abandonment were identified: 1. Difficulty in adapting to the first year at university; 2. Financial difficulty and not being granted, as requested, a student scholarship; 3. Not being able to finish a satisfactory number of subjects, in the first year at university; 4. Missing a lot of lectures, which makes passing more difficult; 5. Being somewhat immature and subsequently not adapting to the challenges, often a long way from home; 6. Entering the university in a later recruitment stage, later than everyone else, and thus experiencing added difficulty in accompanying the syllabus; 7. Not being in a degree which was the first study choice, as the student's marks were not good enough, leading to low motivation levels; 8. Being one of the lower-end students in class, and thus having difficulty in keeping up; 9. Being a part-time student, while maintaining a full-time working job, which makes passing subjects harder; 10. Doing an internship, and subsequently being offered a job, which the student accepts, due to current financial priorities, leading to premature abandonment of university; 11. Having difficulty in passing one subject in particular (e.g. Calculus or Statistics), leading to the student abandoning higher education altogether; 12. Thinking that higher education is too theoretical, and therefore not worthwhile, and preferring to go right into the job market, to gain work experience. We also performed three interviews with students from various Higher Education Institutions (HEI), who dropped out of higher education, the data collected having confirmed what was stated above. Being aware of these issues and taking action (from a relationship marketing and services perspective) at the highest levels in a HEI is a good path towards success, as is occurring at the University of Aveiro. However, it will ultimately be up to the students, in the end, to decide whether studying is worthwhile thus keeping dropout to a minimum.

Abstract
Este volume pretende abarcar algumas das evoluções atuais e devido à transformação digital. O mundo está em constante mutação e devido à verdadeira revolução e transformação digital esta mudança tem ocorrido a passos muito rápidos e de forma imprevisível – o que faz com que seja difícil fazer previsões a cinco anos e sobre como estarão certas indústrias afetadas pela tecnologia, no futuro. As redes sociais online modificaram a forma como nos expomos e apresentamos. Os smartphones tornaram tudo mais móvel – temos grandes computadores, muito potentes, no nosso bolso e connosco todos os dias. O negócio das apps e do software mudou de paradigma – o que conta são os seguidores e muito do software agora é grátis. Vejamos o caso do Facebook, do Instagram, e até do WhatsApp – plataformas grátis. Querem é utilizar os utentes como receptáculos de publicidade e para fins comerciais que outrora eram muito diferentes e até impensáveis. Em tal ambiente a pressão sobre os gestores e os agentes na sociedade, com poder de decisão, está em níveis nunca antes vistos. Por um lado, são exigidas empresas competitivas e que façam uso da tecnologia, tecnologia que muitas das vezes é nova e tem custos assim como perigos. A privacidade da informação, quer de adultos, quer de crianças, é fundamental. Nunca antes os nossos jovens tiveram acesso a tanta informação e de forma praticamente grátis. A Internet mudou radicalmente como acedemos à informação e ao conhecimento e os pais deixaram de ser a resposta para tudo e para todas as questões dos seus filhos – tendo sido substituídos, em muitos casos, por motores de busca como o Google, e outros (dependendo também da geografia do consumidor, sendo a China uma região grande e preponderante, mas que tem regras e instituições muito próprias). Também na sala de aula os educadores, em especial no ensino superior, se deparam com esta nova realidade em que, se fazem perguntas às quais o Google tem resposta, terão dificuldade em assegurar salas cheias de alunos. Os alunos querem adquirir conhecimento tácito sobre o qual o Google não informa. Este é somente um exemplo dos desafios que a tecnologia coloca. Fica também o desafio ao leitor para nos ajudar a cocriar um futuro cada vez mais igual e não cada vez mais desigual. Mandem-nos, por favor, as vossas sugestões sobre como acompanhar a revolução no meio da qual vivemos hoje em dia. Por último, gostaríamos de agradecer encarecidamente aos autores dos diversos capítulos do livro, pela sua dedicação aos temas, pela sua originalidade, e pela sua paciência e cooperação na revisão dos materiais submetidos.

Abstract
Telerehabilitation is an alternative way for physical therapy of stroke patients. The monitoring and correction of exercises can be done through the analysis of body movements recorded by an optical motion capture system. This paper presents a first study to assess the use of Microsoft Kinect in the monitoring and rehabilitation of patients who have suffered a stroke. A comparative study was carried out to assess the accuracy of joint angle measurement with the Microsoft Kinect (for Windows and for Xbox One) and Optitrack (TM). The results obtained in the first experiment showed a good agreement in the measurements between the three systems, in almost all movements. These results suggest that Microsoft Kinect, a low cost and markerless motion capture system, can be considered as an alternative to complex and high cost motion capture devices for the monitoring and rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Abstract
In the material handling industry, productivity is a vital driver of profitability. Efficient operation of a forklift fleet is a significant factor in determining overall warehouse productivity. Traditionally, lead-acid batteries have been the best choice for forklifts operated indoors where emissions are restricted for health and safety reasons. More recently the application of fuel cells in this type of activity has emerged, also guaranteeing operational and environmental benefits (Elgowainy et al., 2009), and it is also shown as a possible solution to increase the productivity of a warehouse (Ballard, 2013). Withing the material handling industry the increased productivity comes through range extension enabling operation of the forklift with quick refuelling, without the need for battery recharging, as well as the existence of a constant power throughout the whole work cycle (Ballard, 2013). The performance of a forklift truck powered by PEM fuel cell or a lead acid battery is modelled and investigated by conducting a parametric study (Hosseinzadeh et al., 2013). In this study as a function of the number of daily trips of a forklift is characterised its energy expenditure, with the purpose of dimensioning, in an intelligent way opt for the most efficient propulsion system. Note that the two systems currently have a very different development stage, because the use of batteries is a technology implemented much more than the fuel cells. Our objective is, according to the workload that the company demands its forklifts to adapt the propulsion system that allows obtaining a greater productivity. In this model is studied several kinds of forklifts of Class I, II and III of the 1000 to 9000 kg in a wide range of loads.
