This book provides international perspectives on corrections, correctional treatment, and penitentiary laws. Although its focus is on African and South American countries, the information provided can be easily expanded to North America and Europe. The chapters present legal frameworks and applied research on prisons and their potential to deter crime and reduce recidivism rates. The book puts the human rights agenda at the forefront and is a useful resource for those who work in corrections, including prison, education, and probation officers.

Bakunin descreveu de modo articulado a interdependência dos principais elementos da modernidade ascendente na Europa do século XIX. A relação entre Estado-Nação, modo de produção capitalista e império são elementos fundamentais em sua obra, bem como o processo de resistência coletiva desenvolvida pelos trabalhadores em defesa da emancipação do trabalho sobre o capital. A perspectiva da totalidade permeia a estrutura desse trabalho posto que no pensamento de Bakunin o desenvolvimento do sistema interestatal se deu de modo intrinsecamente atrelado ao desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista. Essa correlação foi estabelecida por meio de uma construção histórica de Bakunin.

Abstract: This article presents the main findings of an innovative Portuguese research project on prison guards' attitudes towards the prevention of sexual contacts between inmates. Sexuality in prisons is still a poorly‐studied issue, although its increasing visibility demands a better understanding of prison dynamics. Results show that guards hold very favourable attitudes towards the prevention of forced sexual contacts between inmates, but they are more ambiguous concerning consensual sexuality. This result is influenced by the characteristics of the inmates under the guards' supervision and by the prison guards' knowledge of the existence of sexual contacts between inmates. The results will be discussed, along with their impact on the development of training programmes and policies regarding sexual contacts between inmates.

The authors present data concerning the identification of Portuguese forest arsonists who were serving prison sentences for this crime. These offenders present several psychological features (alcohol abuse, mental illness, psychiatric care, low intelligence,.) and are issued from poor socio-economic backgrounds. No traces of antisocial or psychopathic personality were found. The authors also refer to necessity of taking a closer look to other causes of forest fires, mainly accidental 3nes, that account for a large proportion of occurrences and show that prevention is not functioning- well and negligent behaviours are riot considered for punishment, focusing on the importance of an environmental conscience that seems to be far away from the legislations trends on these matters. ; Los autores presentan claws relativos a la identificaci6n de incendiarios forestales portugueses que cumplían condena por este delito. Estos delincuentes presentan diversas características psicológicas (alcoholismo, enfermedad mental, atención psiquiátrica, baja inteligencia,) y proceden de ambientes socioeconómicos pobres. No se encontraron trazas de personalidad antisocial o psicopática. Los autores también hacen referencia a la necesidad de atender a otras causales de los incendios forestales, principalmente las accidentales, que dan cuenta de una gran proporción de incidentes y muestran que la prevención no está funcionando Bien y que las conductas negligentes no se castigan, centrándose en la importancia de las consecuencias ambientales que parecen ir más allá de las tendencias legislativas en estas materias. ; Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia; Comissão Nacional para o Estudo dos fogos ...

This study examines the efficacy of an intervention program with male batterers. Twenty-six batterers who attended the intervention and 19 batterers who did not attend the intervention were compared using self-report measures. Batterers who attended the intervention showed significant reductions in abusive behaviors, in attitudes toward domestic violence, in risk of future violence, and in psychopathology, and an increase in self-esteem and problem solving. These changes were confirmed at the 6-month follow-up. The control group also revealed reductions in abusive behaviors, psychopathology, and risk of violence; however, the intervention group showed higher effect sizes. Comparing the groups at post-test, differences were found on abusive behaviors, attitudes, and risk of violence; at the follow-up, differences were found on abusive behaviors, attitudes, self-esteem, and problem solving, with intervention group showing more positive changes. These findings suggest that the intervention program has a therapeutic effect and reduces the risk of future violence.

The digital Transformation has revolutionized entire sectors in recent years. Yet, SMEs struggle to successfully implement such profound organizational transformation and thus jeopardize their competitiveness in the long term. Scholars study internal, company-related factors almost exclusively, whereas external factors are only sparsely considered. There fore ,this thesis applies the PESTE-framework to investigate external factors affecting the digital transformation of Portuguese SMEs. This section explores political aspects in Portugal, comparing them to Italy and Israel and analyzing possible influence on SMEs' digital transformation. Based on these findings, recommendations were developed, including interdisciplinary data collection processes, innovation hubs, tailored trainings, and trust seals.

Este artigo é decorrente de uma pesquisa aplicada realizada com o objetivo de conceber um paradigma de museu virtual, cujo planejamento e desenvolvimento contou com aportes conceituais, teóricos e empíricos dos campos do turismo e da museologia. O trabalho resultou na construção de um ambiente virtual, de modo a aproveitar o potencial da internet como hipermídia e suporte da oferta de informações, serviços e cenários promocionais da Capital da República como destino turístico. A metodologia utilizada é uma análise comparativa dos museus virtuais presentes na internet e complementada por fontes secundárias, de modo a se inferir um modelo de museu virtual, com uma aplicação prática: apresentar um acervo de informações e um acervo de imagens de uma cidade- patrimônio-cultural-da-humanidade que, sendo na realidade um museu a céu aberto, poderá ser visitada por meio da realidade virtual. A pesquisa gerou um produto – o Museu Virtual de Brasília – o qual pode tornar-se parâmetro para iniciativas semelhantes.
