An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and through Knowledge Unlatched. This book
represents the first attempt to query the contribution of women as
cultural agents to the colonization, the anti-colonial opposition
and the decolonization of territories ruled by Portugal in the
African continent between the turn of the twentieth century and the
early twenty-first. In contrast to the longstanding scholarship on
the subject as regards other European empires, the entanglement of
gender and colonialism has been ignored in the Portuguese case.
Hence, this book takes a long view, surveying mostly little known
historical and literary records that evince how "women" and
"colonialism" were discursively constructed at particular points in
time in view of a colonialist project that became the reason for
being of the fascist authoritarian regime (1933-1974). A cultural
studies approach of radical contextualization informs each of the
five main chapters, in which documents from a range of disciplines
are brought to bear on the main problematic of the female-authored
works in focus. The latter are all written in the metropole as a
place of colonial return and critical reflection. Beyond
recuperating women's voices, this book suggests a story of
Portuguese colonialism in the African continent that is anything
but Lusotropicalist.
Effective work practices and good employee relations are a real
necessity of nowadays organizations, as they can help to reduce
absenteeism, turnover, organizational costs, conducting to high
levels of commitment, effectiveness, performance as well as
productivity. Addressing these questions, this book focuses on the
implications of changes in productivity and organizational
management, exploring models, tools and processes.
The development of Operations Research (OR) requires constant
improvements, such as the integration of research results with
business applications and innovative educational practice. The full
deployment and commercial exploitation of goods and services
generally need the construction of strong synergies between
educational institutions and businesses. The IO2015 -XVII Congress
of APDIO aims at strengthening the knowledge triangle in education,
research and innovation, in order to maximize the contribution of
OR for sustainable growth, the promoting of a knowledge-based
economy, and the smart use of finite resources. The IO2015-XVII
Congress of APDIO is a privileged meeting point for the promotion
and dissemination of OR and related disciplines, through the
exchange of ideas among teachers, researchers, students , and
professionals with different background, but all sharing a common
desire that is the development of OR.

As a consequence of social, technological, political and economic
changes, the field of organizations management and engineering
becomes highly complex, calling for more effective strategies. In
this book, the authors discuss innovative technological resources
and their implications on organizational policies, strategies, and
flexibility, as well as on sustainable management.

A two-dimensional code is described, based on Saint Venant's
Torsion Problem; to find the warping mode for any considered
cross-section, including non- homogeneous material. Each warping
mode is achieved for unitary rotation by unit of length. The
computational code is tested regarding its capacity of reproducing
analytical results for Saint-Venant torsion. Some results for
laminated cross sections are also provided. This work is considered
the warping for any cross-section, i.e., not limited to thin-walled
cross sections. In addition it is considered laminated materials
for any cross-section.

Published in 1972, New Portuguese Letters addressed censored issues
- such as the colonial war, immigration, the Catholic Church,
violence, and the legal and social status of women - becoming a
symbol of resistance against the Fascist Portuguese regime.
Privileging feminist approaches, this volume maps the reception of
the book in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, the UK, Ireland,
the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Scandinavia. The scandal
that surrounded the banning of New Portuguese Letters, under the
accusation of 'pornographic content', and the trial of the three
authors for 'outraging public morals', brought the case to the
attention of the international community. The book found instant
support from feminist movements and well-known writers - such as
Simone de Beauvoir, Marguerite Duras, Doris Lessing, Iris Murdoch,
Adrienne Rich and Anne Sexton - and was adopted as "the first
international feminist cause". Given its great significance in
political and aesthetic terms, New Portuguese Letters was - and
remains - a fundamental work in contemporary literature and
culture, offering an invaluable contribution to the history of
women and raising crucial issues relevant for political agendas
today, such as equality, justice and freedom.
