With the continuous growing of aging population, the society is facing new challenges, namely the implementation of healthcare services for older people, as well as the promotion of the active aging and well-being. These challenges imply the optimization of these services through biomedical, physical, psychological and socio-environmental interventions. ICT technologies can support the implementation of these healthcare services, e.g., the use of wearable devices to collect the physiological data, cloud technology to store big amounts of data and advanced data analytics algorithms to extract valuable conclusions and actionable knowledge. This work proposes a multi-agent system driven data analysis approach to characterize the daily physiological conditions of a group of elderly people institutionalized in a nursing home, supporting the healthcare professionals to monitor their behavior and promote an active aging. The individual' data were collected by a set of Fitbit Charge HR wristbands and analyzed by clustering algorithms, running in the distributed autonomous agents, allowing to identify and characterize the individuals' daily habits and physiological conditions.

Nowadays learning requires a continuous process of seeking information and knowledge. The ease of access of information and resources and the speed how new information is available, demands that the user continuously seeks knowledge and keeps updated. Along with this reality, in Portugal, there is a growing development of Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SIE) initiatives. In Portugal, IES-Social Business School offers training programs since 2009. In its network there are around 2300 alumni. And for that reason, its pedagogical model is being revised, aiming to include networked community learning (community related to the concept of Community of Practice [1]). Thus IES-SBS aims to disseminate produced knowledge; help develop collective learning environments, specifically in SIE area and, consequently, enlarge its scope. The paper is part of a postdoctoral research project which has initiated a learning community pilot, with IES-SBS support. The following variables were analyzed for the pilot implementation: life cycle, intervention area, target population and geographic location.
如今，学习需要一个不断寻求信息和知识的过程。信息和资源获取的便利性以及获取新信息的速度要求用户不断寻求知识并保持更新。伴随着这一现实，在葡萄牙，社会创新和创业(SIE)倡议日益发展。在葡萄牙，IES-Social Business School从2009年开始提供培训课程。在其网络中，大约有2300名校友。因此，它的教学模式正在被修订，旨在包括网络社区学习(社区相关的概念的实践社区[1])。因此，IES-SBS旨在传播生产知识;帮助发展集体学习环境，特别是在SIE领域，从而扩大其范围。这篇论文是一个博士后研究项目的一部分，该项目在IES-SBS的支持下启动了一个学习社区试点项目。对试点实施的变量进行分析:生命周期、干预区域、目标人群和地理位置。

In Ecuador, English is taught in elementary and high schools; however, when students enter higher education, it is evidenced that they have little or no knowledge about the language. Therefore, as a university involved in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher training, we are interested in discovering to what extent the factors concerning teachers affect the learning of English in the e-society. This study is based on a mixed method design, and explores teacher's factors that intervene in the English language teaching-learning process, which affect students' learning in Ecuadorian high schools. The sample included 1155 Ecuadorian teachers. The data was collected through the application of a questionnaire designed to gather teachers' opinions, and observations to support the data obtained from the questionnaire. In order to establish the internal consistency of the items researched, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used. The findings showed that although the majority of teachers have a degree in EFL, their professional practice reflects lack of training, low English level, and inappropriate use of pedagogical and technological teaching resources, which influence e-education.

On the Internet, as the greatest global information platform today, an unceasingly important element is revealed and deployed: the social network. With the generation of these web portals, a huge and deep change in social relations and communication models of the contemporary generation is undergoing. A reality no different in the atmosphere of political, activism and speech communication from the digital site. The objective of this research is to compare the contents and discourse of the two Twitter accounts, the personal one (@realDonaldTrump) and the institutional one (@POTUS), of the President of United States, Donald Trump, through the crossing of the data analysis, obtained between March 9th and April 5th, and by the application of the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC). Therefore, based on the Agenda-Setting Theory, the method managed has been the analytical one, based on a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative) and effected with the FanPage Karma software and analytical file. And from this analysis, the results are summarized in three main ideas: a clear similarity between both accounts as to the contents of their posts, though not quite in its form; so, an equivalent agenda was also perceived between the two digital accounts; by contrast, concerning the actors of the tweets and the use, there were prominent dissimilarities that face the standardization and customization of Twitter as two systems of use from the position of an international public leader.

Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by high blood pressure levels. Lack of adherence to the treatment of hypertension is a growing concern among health professionals. For this, m-Health solutions are increasingly evident, since they can automate processes and facilitate the inclusion of the patient's health conditions in a practical way and in any place, allowing the health professional to follow up. This work aims to report the development of an m-Health solution to automate the follow-up process for hypertensive patients. The solution will be comprised of an Android application for Smartphone Lifestyle App, integrated into a Smartwatch and Server Lifestyle, all components of the e-Lifestyle System. For the development of the Lifestyle App were used Android Studio, a Motorola Moto 360 watch and a LG K10 Smartphone. The results showed that the frameworks and the APIs used allowed to abstract several concepts of connection and communication between different devices, which facilitated the development.

The quantification of financial risk such as liquidity risk and others is one of the most frequent concern in the bank and corporative sector, in this sense, the liquidity risk materialization causes big monetary lost when corporations are incapable on give appropriate fulfillment of obligations due to lack of liquid resources. On the other hand, when operational risk is present, there are large losses due to fails on the procedures that adversely affect the functioning of the organization. With the goal of systematize the risk quantification it has implement the Information System Financial Risk Management, which was constructed like a suite of software compound by two applications that facilities the quantification of liquidity risk and operational risk. Nowadays the Information System is used by corporations in Colombian financial sector, who by means of use of tools has been reached the fulfillment the results, avoiding the materialization of negative events.

Public displays can play a particularly important role in place-based communication because of their unique capability to expose their message in a contextually relevant way to anyone nearby, breaking personal filter bubbles and enabling situated shared experiences. However, before they can become an effective communication medium, they need to move towards more open models, where users are able to contribute with their own content. The key challenge is how to share control with users while being able to guarantee that published content matches the social expectations of a place. The key contribution of this work is a wide perspective of the key moderation approaches described in the literature for pre-moderation and post-moderation. We have taken a comprehensive approach that uncovers the broad range of techniques that can be applied to support moderation of user-generated content, highlighting their specificities and how they can complement each other to provide a comprehensive approach to moderation in these scenarios. This should help display owners to reason about the combination of techniques that is able to reduce risk to a level that is deemed acceptable, while minimising the moderation effort and the impact on the willingness of users to publish their content.

Nowadays to make the right decision about where and how to request or buy a service, a user is often supported by a mobile device that offers more than simple descriptive data. Nevertheless, not all information on services is fully accessible. The difficulty in keeping track of changes in services' costs causes delays and can result in waste of time and money. In fact, the decision of which service to use usually involves some level of uncertainty and risk. Hence, the user should have access to some form of decision support system that could be easily available through mobile applications. The power of these devices allows to apply knowledge areas already developed, carrying statistics with dynamic and interactive graphics, thus allowing for a more systematic control of services and corresponding expenses. In this work we analyze the existing related work on mobile decision support systems and propose an architecture of a decision support system using Mobile App Statistics. Tests were carried out with a car fuel app to support the decision of choosing the gas station at each point. Results show that using the additional statistical information provided users can take better decisions during the request of a service.
