- Caraterização polínica de méis da Beira Alta (Portugal)Publication . Carvalho, Ana; Oliveira, Jorge; Gonçalves, Fernando; Wessel, Dulcineia Ferreira; Almeida, Paulo RussoA composição do mel é influenciada por fatores bióticos e abióticos envolventes ao apiário, como a quantidade e tipo de flora, as condições climáticas, o solo e o maneio do efetivo (Alqarni et al., 2014). A aposição da designação DOP (Denominação de Origem Protegida) pode representar uma valorização comercial acrescida dos méis em contexto nacional e internacional, sendo fundamental o conhecimento, além de outras, das características físico-químicas e polínicas (Maia et al., 2001). O trabalho apresentado faz parte de um projeto de caraterização físico-química (resultados não apresentados) e polínica de méis, como contributo para a certificação do mel da Beira Alta como produto DOP. Recolheram-se 27 amostras de méis produzidos pelos associados da Associação dos Apicultores da Beira Alta, no ano de 2014, nos concelhos de Viseu, Tondela, Carregal do Sal, Nelas, Penalva do Castelo, Satão, Aguiar da Beira, Mangualde, Sernancelhe e Fornos de Algodres, de acordo com o número de unidades epidemiológicas dentro de cada concelho. Para a caraterização polínica dos méis construiu-se uma palinoteca de referência da flora da região, sendo as preparações de pólen elaboradas de acordo com o método acetolítico de Erdtman (1960), modificado por Russo-Almeida (1992). A análise polínica quantitativa realizada de acordo com o método de Louveaux et al. (1978), revelou que 4 amostras de méis enquadraram-se na Classe I (<20 000 grãos de pólen por 10 g de mel) e as restantes 23 na Classe III (100 000 a 500 000 grãos de pólen por 10 g de mel). A análise polínica qualitativa foi realizada segundo o método de Louveaux et al. (1978), tendo sido contados mais de 1200 grãos de pólen por amostra de mel, de acordo com o critério de Vergeron (1964), tendo-se verificado que 14 dos méis analisados eram multiflorais (51,9%), 12 monoflorais de tília (44,4%) e 1 monofloral de urze (3,7%). O pólen de Eucalyptus sp. e de Castanea sativa esteve presente em 100% das amostras. Com estes primeiros resultados pretende-se contribuir para uma caracterização mais vasta da apicultura da Beira Alta e dos méis produzidos nesta região.

- Enotourism – more than a life stylePublication . Carvalho, Ana; Marques dos Santos, Paula; Nogueira, FernandaEnotourism is a relatively new form of sustainable tourism. But is more than a lifestyle. The Douro landscape reflects its ancient and deep connection with the culture of wine, creating a picture of Man and Nature working side by side in search of the perfect wine. Lifestyle typically reflects: an individual's attitude, a way of life, values, or world view. Practical implications - the results suggest that there is scope for developing wine tourism products to attract tourists and which could be used to promote the Douro Valley region as a centre for enotourism. The beautifully unique landscape of the Douro was one of the reasons that made it a World Heritage site in 2001. There isn´t in Portugal an autonomous strategy process to define enotourism. Is a legal problem when we try to analyse the process or a data base to find information about enotourism players. So, how do winery operators, particularly those running small or family businesses, cope with the new developments occurring in the world of wines? The present study examines these issues from the perspective of a group of Portuguese winery operators. Our proposal in this research, is to analyse how many wineris or enotecas are hable to develop enotourism with a legal process. The results of the study reflect the level of education of employees, the seasonal nature of tourism, the improvements in its promotion and the need for greater support from local government. A key aspect is respect for the people who call the location home, the culture and customs of the area, and the socio-economic system. Design/methodology/approach - The methodology employed for this study consisted of a combination of surveys, interviews and field observations with the suppliers in the traditional wine‐producing region, Douro Valley, or Porto wine region, in the north of Portugal. The results of this investigation are almost analisys made inside the villages and also us wineries and enotecas. From the 30 winemakers that we visited, only 2 have an enotourism service acording to legislation and have a certificate that allows to pratices. It was very hard but it is an open field to future researchs (TOMÁS López‐Guzmán,et al, 2011). From the 30 wineries we have analysed only 2 were enotourism with a legal basis. Enotourism is on the travel agencies department and most of the wineries don´t have the legal licenses. Despite of most tourism agencies see enoturism as a segment of the industry with tremendous growth potential, stating that in some regions, it's only functioning at 20% of its full potential. Enotourism development guidelines and management practices are applicable to all forms of tourism in all destination types, including mass tourism and the various niche tourism segments.

- Strategic Management of Cultural Projects—CIM DOURO TrainingPublication . Mota, Miguel; Carvalho, Ana; Fonseca, SMSR; Guia, AnaConsidering the implementation of new forms of strategic management in organizations and the development of competencies, training in the area of cultural heritage has become a priority in the CIM (Inter-municipal Communities). The SMART methodologies and Start Up tools allow creating a commitment to the organization in a holistic vision, which is essential for local development. The 19 municipalities of the Douro region, part of the territorial structure of Intermunicipalities Community (CIMDOURO) have invested in the training of their employees with the aim of equipping them for the new technological realities in the strategic management of cultural projects. This training is based on simplification of processes and improvement of procedures, using digital platforms. The e-learning training took place from January to June 2023. Through online training, our goal is to identify the needs of organizations, particularly municipalities, and their territorial identities, developing strategies for managing cultural projects and creating their own action plans. Currently, employees of various municipalities have the task of developing action plans to study or explore new locations or create networks based on the cultural heritage of these places, promoting sustainability and diversity. This study aims to identify what strategic management of cultural projects is and the need for various territories to use different types of action plans to improve their performance. The case study is limited to the training of employees in the 19 municipalities of the Douro region. The case study was limited to the training of employees in the 19 municipalities of the Douro region. To achieve this objective, a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 16 employees was directly involved, representing various municipalities working in the field of heritage and culture.
- The importance of implementing strategic management in third sector organizationsvPublication . Fonseca, Susana; Vaz, Carla; Duarte, Filipe A P; Carvalho, Ana; Guia, AnaEste artigo pretende realçar a importância do uso das ferramentas de gestão estratégica nas Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social (IPSS) visando a sua sustentabilidade. Adicionalmente, pretende-se também analisar o perfil dos gestores de topo destas instituições de forma a demonstrar a importância na formação específica de gestão. Primeiramente realizou-se o enquadramento teórico onde se debateram ideias de diferentes autores referentes à economia social, gestão estratégica e suas ferramentas. Seguidamente utilizou-se o método quantitativo com o envio de um questionário a várias IPSS do distrito de Vila Real onde se realçou que o mesmo deveria ser preenchido por gestores de topo. Os resultados obtidos permitiram validar as questões de partida, nomeadamente verificaram-se diversas falhas no que diz respeito a implementação de ferramentas gestão estratégica nas OSFL tendo repercussões na sua sustentabilidade e na forma como as mesmas estão organizadas. Assim, é primordial que estas invistam na capacitação na área da gestão estratégica tendo sempre presente a sua missão.
