According to the Portuguese Society of Astronomy (SPA), the number of applications submitted in this area was higher than 40, which represents a success rate of about 12% for post-doctoral scholarships in line with the overall results for all areas, and zero for PhD scholarships.

“These numbers represent a clear revs for the investigation of space affects s ??Sciences, area of ??science that has been growing in Portugal in the past two d fied to the point of today’s area with better indices of national Anvel productivity, “said the company in a statement.

According to the SPA, the levels of excellence earned by institutions in Portugal, in this area, are “significantly above the European and world averages, consequence of investment in ci ncia that occurred in the past, yet was consistently lower than that recommended by the European Union. “

“This position of prestige still reflects the high quality of our research, more than half of whom see their activity funded by grants for doctoral and post-doctoral level, the vast majority from the FCT “he adds.

In some centers of investigation, the number of incoming fellowships surpasses even the researchers with fixed positions.

For

Portuguese Astronomical Society, the “significant and widespread cut” that was felt in the number of bags in the contest atribudas 2013 compared to previous years “is so clearly concerned pr cr mass necessria for the production of science at European and global level tica “as well as” priests of excellence who have guided the investigation in Portugal and valued the country, particularly in the area of ??Space Sciences “.

The SPA also warns that Portugal’re losing attractiveness in the eyes of Portuguese and foreign, who were beginning to get used to seeing in our country an opportunity to develop their career researchers.

Portuguese Astronomical Society v. also much concern with this decrease in the number of bags he says.

“We are aware of the alternatives proposed FCT for PhD scholarships and post-doctoral projects inserted in the investigation, some already underway, but these measures remain clear that the number researchers in activity to a level capable of sustaining produoea scientific competitiveness that we have to win, “he warns.

Last week, the Foundation for Science and Technology released the results of the competition of individual doctoral scholarships eps-doctoral, 2013, j criticized by the Association of Research Fellows the scientific, which called for tera Friday with a concentration headquarters FCT, Lisbon, against the “savage cuts” in bags.

According to the findings, published Wednesday on the website of FCT, 298 PhD and 233 ps-doctoral atribudas were based on regular assessment of candidates.

Publico - open to Mr Minister of Education and Science Charter

The frail and very promising scientific research building built in Portugal in recent decades is at risk. Serious Hazard: in the short term because we come to retreat again to occupy the place of Europe in the tail. Centers, laboratories, research programs and grant applications have been affected by savage cuts in public funding, that could cause discontinuities and imposing blockades. But the worst is that this decline may be associated not only with the financial crisis facing the country and obviously understand, but the options in an area that is very little in state spending – and the Structural Funds of the European Union, it should be noted – and is a key lever for modernization of Portugal.

In parallel, the criteria and procedures for evaluating the tenders of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) have proved somewhat clear and transparent. Especially, the evaluation of the tenders of 2013 caused a glaring injustice situations that need to be resolved. The constant changes of regulations, lack of planning, the changes permanent deadlines, bureaucratic confusion and attaches unfortunately characterize the programs that have been launched, which adds to the danger of a return to a clientele model and not meritocratic evaluation by peers.

will need to realize that the FCT has a functional structure capable of realizing the scientific edifice. For this, you need to put your finger on it and realize how far does the lack of resources, materials and especially humans, and how to avoid excessive reliance on circumstantial timetables imposed by the Ministry of Finance or the clientelist appetites for structural funds coming. Ie, how can the FCT create the conditions of stability to defend the autonomy of science?

also are concerned about the general confusion that have been treated with applications of the younger generations. They share expectations and commitments that are defrauded without complacency. The generation of between 30 and 40 – which has imposed curricula for their research guided by the highest standards – runs the risk of being wiped out, losing the investment made in the last two decades and is returning to the parish where delay left there is still very little time.

We are aware that when success rates in tenders for research (grants and projects) to lower laughable numbers, it would almost be better not to open the same competitions. Keep them equates to resume a semblance of “excellence” and “internationalization”, in which sometimes the cost of evaluators turns out to be higher than the number of grants awarded. Now, in “the house where there is bread” and where the rules are no longer clear, it created a whole climate of suspicion, a direct result of the divestment and the strengthening of the powers of clienteles.

supporting research depends on the strengthening of good institutions and good researchers and projects, and properly evaluated by strict criteria (another recent development that has nothing to do with the existence of minor features). We believe therefore that it would be crucial for institutions to reward the best and “reform” the worst.

research careers such as teaching in universities are closed. And the growth model of universities and research centers, if there is, it is at the expense of precarious work contracts a few years, coming up to five months to cover only the half. In turn, the risks of not foster autonomy and freedom in creation science are enormous, if not respect differing scales. For example, the simple binding of individual projects makes bags disappear subjects and objects of enormous innovative potential, which is not part of the “great teacher” agenda does not exist. The passage of all doctoral scholarships to universities eliminates the freedom of students to choose some high end international institutions in their areas. It is also feared that the research agendas progressively dominant in research centers, are increasingly the agenda of policy makers of circumstance and natural interests that support them. For all these reasons, it is appropriate to defend the autonomy of scientific freedom and fundamental research, guided by rigorous evaluation of the quality and impact in the community and society.

Why not accept that destroy the process of creating a higher education done in constant contact with scientific research, we fight for autonomy, but we can not do without the financial resources that sustain it. Nor can we accept that the future of the younger generations of highly skilled researchers be mortgaged and is, quite simply crashed.

It is natural that in a period of crisis, scarce resources are cannibalized by the most powerful interests, and the next year the funds of the European Union will certainly make it clearer. But we hope that the consensus is respected around the idea that investment in scientific research is, in fact, the most profitable for the country’s development is not only apparent.

After ten years Mars still holds many mysteries - TeK.sapo

The robot exploration Opportunity is still almost a month ago. Does not leave the same place and only runs about yourself. And behold, out of nowhere, with no explanation for now, a stone in front of him that there was never arises. The discussion is already taking the Internet by storm.

It is a small stone with various shades, but that does not go unnoticed to the “look” of Opportunity. The comparison between the images also leaves no room for doubt: the day there were 3,536 stone in the day there were 3,537:

The most supported theory is that the stone is the result of some shock some meteor with the planet. But according to the analysis of a Russian investigator, to clear away, said stone has dust corresponding to the Martian soil at the bottom and not the top, which seems to put into question the idea of ??a meteor fragment.

The strange case of the Martian rock happens at a time when it is celebrating the tenth anniversary since the Mars Express spacecraft took the first color photographs of the red planet and began to produce 3D images.

The European Space Agency (ESA) revealed a video about the “waters of Mars.” – not about the existence of liquid, but images with the rugged landscape and most likely caused by the former existence of the element

That is to say that after all these years, Mars continues and will continue to have many secrets unravel. What are the views of readers TeK on images?

Balloons in the sky and flowers on the sea at Meco tribute to the six ... - The Associated Press

sky Meco beach, which was loaded with thick, dark clouds filled Saturday afternoon of balloons, a tribute to the young, who in December last year, were collected by a wave. Six minutes of silence for each of the victims, moving words of those who knew them closely and flowers left in sea foam were other moments that punctuated the ceremony.

Hundreds of people attended. Family, friends, colleagues dressed in academic attire. There was a mass in the higher part of the beach and not down there by the sea and it was there that sang tunas heard the chants and the Lusophone University, an institution where young people studied. Made up six minutes of silence and dropped up balloons.

Although

before the ceremony it rained, no budge. If after the rain eventually respite, not cold. Even so, and despite the cold wind, family and friends were accompanied by the Maritime Police, lay flowers on the wet sand, by the sea.

The ceremony was organized by the Municipality of Sesimbra, the family and even the Lusophone University. The atmosphere was of regret and even without insisting questions, simple twirl of cameras and tripods journalists caused sometimes some tension.

Despite the words of comfort that addressed the family, the parish priest of the parish of Castle, county of Sesimbra, who celebrated the Mass began by saying that there are still “a lot of concerns around this painful accident, which matter unravel. ” So far, the only survivor of the accident, Joao Gouveia, has not yet revealed what we will have passed that morning.

Reporting Survivor
Before the ceremony, the parents of six children gathered hastily and decided not to pay more statements until John Gouveia is heard by the Maritime Police Setúbal, whom the Public Ministry (MP) has delegated the hearing. Only after that report, which should happen soon, is that say whether or not progress to a criminal complaint, told the PUBLIC family of Peter and Joan Titus Negrao Barroso, two of the students who died. Negrao Fatima, mother of Peter Titus Negrao, declined to answer further questions, ensuring that just will not “stand idly by”.

Have

Carla Rocheta press Joana Barroso, told reporters at the end of the ceremony, the families of the victims will be up assistants in the investigation process that is running in the Court of Sesimbra MP. “When there are deaths is always open an investigation, regardless of the wishes of the parents. Some parents already constituted as assistants, others have not. But they’ll do it. “

want answers: “We wish there were a communication on the part of the survivor, to know exactly what happened that night because, until now, we do not know anything,” said Carla Rocheta. “I understand that it can be psychologically affected, but would like it, through a psychologist, a lawyer, or through the media, or in any way make you feel more comfortable, would say something to the families, to, in somehow alleviate the pain and can understand what happened that night, “he added.

So far, the family know that young people were on the beach at Low Mill in Meco, at dawn on December 15. But why? Who traveled on foot four miles between the home rented to spend the week-end, and the beach. Who were costumed and all belonged to the Official Committee of Academic Praxes Lusophone University. João Gouveia was the dux , the figure with more power in the hierarchy of academic hazing.

But parents want to know more. Among other questions, want to know why the young have not taken the phone to the beach or pajamas for the house. Want to know that hazing were doing and saying the code Praxes. Do not want to speculate, wonder. Solve the mystery.

NGO launches initiative on the net to identify hate speech and ... - IOnline

The latest and greatest concentration of this type of discourse, according to the users who reported them, is in the United States, with only two complaints in Africa, both in South Africa and some in Europe

Non Governmental Organization (NGO) Global Voices launched a project called Hatebase on the internet you want to identify the speeches that incite hatred and violence around the world and thus prevent its progression to genocide.

“The Hatebase is a collaborative network of hate speech, built around the idea of ??identification and prevention. Through the network, people can submit reports on hate speech, indicating the place of the world where the event happened and terms that were used, “said the founder of the initiative, Timothy Quinn, in an interview quoted by the website that hosts the project.

“The key to understanding Hatebase is looking at it as a data layer, as traffic on the map of a city,” he added, explaining that the network was built to government agencies and NGOs to identify hate speech as an indicator of regional violence that will likely happen then.

“The network asks users to contribute to ‘sightings’ [sightings related events, in this case the hearing of hate speech], according to location and language, labeled by ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation among other topics, “reads the website of the initiative, which states that there are now over” 60 000 reports of hate speech, knowing the time and place where happened. “

In computer graphics accompanying the text, note that the latest and greatest concentration of this type of discourse, according to the users who reported them, is in the United States, with only two complaints in Africa, both in South Africa South, and some in Europe, including Germany, Poland, UK and Ireland.

Will the son of Cristiano Ronaldo received a iWatch Apple? - Tecnologia.com.pt

cristiano ronaldo

The news broke today in the national press, according to a report Saturday magazine published today. According to the magazine, the Union players offered an iWatch .

Really? We begin by indicating what was reported in the journal. According to Saturday, which followed the making of the offer of the Golden Ball, which eventually went to Cristiano Ronaldo, was in gala FIFPro, the body which represents the union of players from around the world, it happened.

According indicated on Saturday, last year had offered a mini iPad, but this year the gift was different. Joaquim Evangelista, president of the Guild of Players in Portugal, would give iWatch, “kind of iPod clock” by Cristiano Ronaldo , but ended up offering the gadget to your child.

The question is: How is this possible if the supposed smart watch is not even official yet? There is already a lot of rumors about this gadget and there are already several competitors who launched a smart watch, but Apple still nothing.

No doubt that will not be an iWatch . Is that iWatch is unofficial and no doubt that Apple would not let the clock he would prove even before the official presentation. So I believe it was a mistake Joaquim Evangelista , which indicated that it was a iWatch, but after all it was an iPod with a bracelet.

Therefore it is expected that the Smart Watch is to soon forget. Before that still receive pictures “China” clock.
