ARTeFACTo 2024 Macao
type: item
description: ARTeFACTo is a transdisciplinary studies journal and conference centered around the concept of digital media and computer artifacts, which were the genesis of its name. It aims to give visibility to all digital media and technology-based artifacts, creators, or contributors from a transdisciplinary, humanistic, and holistic perspective of integration and composition. The main objective is constructing and disseminating knowledge through descriptions of artistic practice, authorship or co-authorship (including the narration and description of other works), and graphic data (images, diagrams, animations, drawings, sketches). The Journal is open to international contributions from all those studying digital media/computer artifacts, embracing their conceptualization, design, creative and research processes, computational implementation, exhibition and fruition, and role in today’s information and knowledge society. Also welcomed are articles fostering the establishment of the conceptual foundations of an artifact theory in the digital media world. Accepted articles shall be original (in compliance with the standards of conduct of the COPE – Code of Conduct and Good Practices) in Portuguese and English, with a mandatory abstract in English. The Conference has the same goals as the Journal but provides a specific floor for the concrete exhibition of artifacts along with their presentation and discussion. All submissions will be evaluated by peer review, including two advisors from the Scientific Council. All feedback will be sent to the authors, indicating their approval, refusal of publication, or requests for correction or recast. The authors will be notified of the publication once the entire selection process has been completed. ARTeFACTo is a joint project between Artech International and Universidade Aberta.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on the Centenary of the First Council for China (1924-2024)
type: item
description: In 1924, Pope Pius XI’s Apostolic Delegate to China, Celso Costantini, gathered bishops, Vicars and Prefects Apostolic, religious provincials and superiors, and priests from all parts of China in the city of Shanghai for the Council for China. The Shanghai Council was the first plenary Council in the history of the Catholic Church in China. Members of different nationalities and religious orders contributed to the issue of decrees on various aspects of ecclesiastical life in China. The decrees had a significant influence on the evangelisation in the following decades. In order to consider the history of the Council and its significance for the Catholic Church in China, University of Saint Joseph in Macau organised an international symposium on the centenary of the Council from 26 June to 29 June 2024. The proceedings contain 13 papers presented at the symposium. They explore the First Council for China from historical, theological, and missiological perspectives and contribute to a better understanding of the Council.

Orientis Aura
type: item
description: The Journal Orientis Aura: Macau Perspectives in Religious Studies is published by the Faculty of Religious Studies of the University of Saint Joseph in Macau. In 2006 the University, known on that time as Inter University Institute of Macau (IIUM), launched a Master Degree in Religious Studies and later, a Bachelor degree. It was the beginning of a complex process which resulted in the relaunching of the Catholic Theological Studies in Macau. Orientis Aura is an important milestone of this process that hopefully will be a major contribution to Macau towards the enhancement of the study and research within the field of Religious Studies. The journal will be published yearly under an Open Access Policy, Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License following our worldwide promotion strategy. The objective is that the research developed in Macau by the University and by the network of partner institutions might encounter in this new Journal a solid and strong medium of scholarly communication.

Sacred and the Everyday
type: item
description: In recent years, comparative studies on how humanity has reflected on the sacred vis-a-vis the everyday as expressed in literature across cultures. A group of scholars especialized in comparative literature, theology, religious studies, and related fields met in 2019 to explore themes such as the speakable and the unspeakable in human religious sensitivities, the effect of religious texts in framing the human perception of sacred time and the everyday, and other comparative studies on religious texts and traditions.

Macao’s Mangroves | 澳門的紅樹林
type: item
description: Mangrove forests are one of the most ecologically valuable ecosystems in the world. They are quite unique in having the ability to live and survive along intertidal and estuarine environments, where the land meets the sea. This coastal vegetation not only supports and protects a diverse group of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna, it also physically protects our coastlines against strong waves and provides coastal communities with many socio-economic benefits.

Like a Tree Planted by Streams of Water
type: item
description: In 2019 Macao Baptist Church celebrates its 115th anniversary. How did this Baptist church come to be established in the Portuguese administered, Chinese city of Macao? Through examination of letters and reports from the main protagonists, John Laurels and Lilian Reeves Todd Galloway, the process of establishing the Baptist church can be revealed and understood within the greater context of the Baptist missionary work in China. The Galloway’s work is evaluated through a framework of different missions’ eras. This work looks at the material in two major sections; first, the lives of the Galloways in Macao from 1908 to 1968, and second, the missionary methods of the Galloways over the same period. Using missiological methods from the era of Kingdom Mission, the Galloways stood firmly in the Church Mission era focusing their efforts on Personal rather than Social Transformation. Their work laid the foundation for a century of Baptist work in Macao by local Christians as well as foreign missionaries.

Goa e Macau:
type: item
description: Por razões sobejamente conhecidas, Macau e Goa sempre surgiram de certo modo associadas no nosso imaginário, constituindo com Timor os polos mais orientais daquilo a que se chamou o Império Português, algo que terminou completamente em 19 de Dezembro de 1999, aquando da entrega da Administração de Macau à China e a instalação da Região Administrativa Especial de Macau, quase quarenta anos depois da integração do próprio “Estado da Índia” (Goa, Damão e Diu) na República da India, que se tornara realidade em 1950. Quando referimos a identidade inscrita nas línguas, literaturas e culturas de Goa e de Macau, temos de ter em conta que se trata de processos diferentes e de realidades diferentes. Foram diferentes os modelos de colonização que, em Macau, não terá sido. Diferentes foram também as comunidades de “língua portuguesa” que em Goa e em Macau se formaram, pese embora o facto de uma boa parte da comunidade macaense dever a sua origem a Goa, onde a miscigenação, “arma” poderosa da política colonial, teve um sucesso que não se verificou do mesmo modo em Macau. Temos, pois, duas identidades diferentes entre si, espelhadas também de modo diferente nas respectivas literaturas, embora usuárias da mesma língua e com elementos comuns no seu passado.

Perspectives on Inclusion
type: item
description: In an inclusive education system, educators engage with increasing their understanding of individual differences, especially in regard to learning, and develop and adjust learning and assessment tasks and contexts in ways that make them accessible and appropriate for all their students regardless of starting ability levels, interests, learning strengths and weaknesses. In inclusive schools, diverse approaches to learning are valued and all learners are challenged and supported to be successful in their learning goals. Macao has begun the journey to develop an increasingly inclusive education system. This book has been written as the journey is beginning and explores some of the different perspectives toward inclusion and interpretations of “inclusive education” within Macao’s education systems and the wider community at this time. The main aims of the research presented in this book are to understand the different views and roles of staff in Macao schools and in the wider community. The book raises questions about how inclusion in Macao might unfold and identifies areas where efforts may be needed to progress inclusive education.

Corresponde aos Níveis B2/C1 do Quadro Europeu de Referência para as Línguas, embora num âmbito do português específico e com enfoque numa linguagem utilizada na área da advocacia.

O manual está estruturado em cinco grandes capítulos – TEXTOS NORMATIVOS DE ÂMBITO GERAL; TEXTOS NORMATIVOS DE ÂMBITO JUDICIAL; TEXTOS NORMATIVOS DE ÂMBITO ESPECÍFICO; DECISÕES DOS TRIBUNAIS e um último Capítulo dedicado a CAMILO PESSANHA – Ilustre Advogado e Juiz de Macau.

Apesar de já estar disponível material para alunos de PLE centrado no esclarecimento de conceitos do Direito, este manual é inovador por se centrar não só na análise de documentos elaborados em escritórios de advocacia, visandotrabalhar a proficiência dos que pretendem fazer do Direito a sua ocupação profissional na RAEM, mas também por ter um carácter abrangente e integrador na cultura jurídica portuguesa.

Inclusive Education in Macao
type: item
description: Executive Summary This research investigated private school teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards three aspects of inclusive education in Macao: (l) the inclusion of students with SEN in their classrooms; (2) their perceived self-efficacy to deal with the challenges presented by inclusive education; and (3) their responses to the proposed changes to the Macao Decree Law about inclusive education. It was undertaken by the University of Saint Joseph with funding from the Macao Foundation during the school year of 2015-2016, under the consultancy support of Professor Chris Forlin. From the results of the study 11 recommendations are made to support the projected development of inclusive schools in line with the proposed amendments to the Decree Law of 1996 (Decreto-Lei n.0 33/96/M, Governo de Macao 1996). The Macao government is currently in the midst of revising legislation concerning the education of students with Special Education Needs (SEN) in regular settings. In 2015, a consultation document was released for public discussion, which was decisive about moving inclusive education into the public arena. The implementation of an inclusive education system is, however, a highly complex process that requires positive attitudes, expertise, education in Macao is the large number of private schools operating with substantial levels of autonomy. To investigate the teachers’ perceptions and attitude towards inclusive education, the researchers collected data from 508 full-time teachers in private schools that had identified themselves as providing inclusive education. Of the teachers, 91 were teaching in kindergarten, 198 were teaching in primary, 249 were teaching in secondary, three were teaching in special education and some were teaching across sectors. Although working at schools identified themselves as providing inclusive education, 71% of the teachers who participated in this research stated that they did not have direct experience teaching students with SEN.

Retrieving the sense of the sacred
type: item
description: In the course of history, the experience of silence has always been a slice of glorious treasures in the Roman liturgy. Silence as Sacred is not only a historical issue but also a practical one in modern liturgical experience. As a liturgical minister in our time, the author reflects on this phenomenon and explores a theological disposition on the liturgical foundation of silence. The research is conducted in a context-theology-paradigm approach, of which it aims to investigate the theology of liturgical silence with the aid of actual pastoral experience—the common liturgical experience in modern Catholic worship. Therefore, the content of this book deals with the intrinsic connection between the Sacred—the mystery which the liturgy celebrates—and the theological implication of silence in Catholic worship. By embracing various theological disciplines: Philosophy of Religion, Biblical Studies, Christology, Patristic Theology, Christian Worship and Liturgical Music, a proper and comprehensive theological investigation of liturgical silence is presented. The author intends to justify Silence as a liturgical paradigm: a proper means of enhancing the celebration of modern Catholic liturgy. Sacred silence, as prescribed in Sacrosanctum Concilium (The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy), truly revives the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. To recover a proper liturgical value of silence in the liturgy is to recover the sense of the sacred in the living world.

Pilgrimage
type: item
description: In the light of the many kinds of journeys that have been considered pilgrimages, this book uses phenomenology as a method to examine the claim that pilgrimage is a journey to the ‘center’ during which pilgrims seek meaning s for themselves. First, by analyzing a phenomenology of Christian pilgrimage, this work attempts to identify what commonalities, as well as differences, exist between Christian pilgrimage and secular pilgrimage in terms of ‘natural attitude’. Next, by using a phenomenological method, such as transcendental reduction, the distinction between these two types of pilgrimage could be clarified that the happiness sought in Christian pilgrimage is both intentionally spiritual and sustainable, while primarily intellectual or sensory in secular pilgrimage. Lastly, this work seeks to establish whether or not ‘being at leisure’ is the primary element for pilgrims whose aim is to attain an understanding of happiness during a pilgrimage.

Interaction design for a contemporary learning and teaching environment
type: item
description: The world is perpetually changing, and the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that the future is full of unforeseen challenges and potentialities. What are the implications of the advancement in technology on education? How are teachers coping with contemporary educational expectations? Is there a need to redesign the learning environment? What is the exact nature of the forces driving such a change? Is there anything we can learn from successful innovations around the globe? The goals of this dissertation include designing a learning/teaching app and redesigning classroom furniture for primary-level education. A design thinking methodology is used, working through the phases of empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping and testing the two potential designs.

Succession in Chinese family business
type: item
description: Macao is well known for its gaming industry. However, there are also many traditional small-to-medium enterprises which are family-owned and run. There is no doubt that social capital is one of the key competitive advantages that family businesses possess, particularly when it comes to Chinese businesses with strong family values that emphasize the importance of trustworthiness and guanxi (relationships). As opposed to other forms of capital, social capital cannot be passed from one generation to another through the will of the incumbents. So, how is social capital passed on in family businesses from one generation to the next? Based on an in-depth study of five cases of successful family businesses in Macao, this research identified the forms of social capital present in business families and the succession process of these firms. From the generalizations drawn from the five cases, a theoretical framework is proposed to understand the intergenerational transmission of social capital in Chinese family businesses.

Jornalismo e Qualidade no Mundo de Expressão Portuguesa
type: item
description: “Jornalismo e Qualidade no Mundo de Expressão Portuguesa” propõe uma análise sobre a paisagem do jornalismo nos oito países de língua oficial portuguesa – Portugal, Angola, Brasil, Cabo Verde, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe e Timor-Leste – e na Região Autónoma Especial de Macau. O livro é uma reflexão sobre a legislação, o plano jurídico-constitucional que enquadra os media no espaço lusófono, os contextos de mercado, as especificidades inscritas em fatores históricos e económicos, em percursos políticos, bem como sobre as relações entre os media e os jornalistas e estes e o poder regulador do Estado. Os trabalhos reunidos nesta obra escrita por autores que partilham entre si um dos idiomas mais falados do planeta, mostram as diferentes realidades do jornalismo no espaço da língua portuguesa, nomeadamente as suas redes de conhecimento, de empenho na promoção da qualidade da informação, de intercompreensão entre povos e culturas, de novas e inovadoras formas de parcerias sociais com vista à partilha e à construção de mundividências. -- JOSÉ MANUEL SIMÕES
