The paper intends to present a colourful image of continental Portugal, based on 62 inhabited place names found on the Portuguese territory in which exists a reference to any colour. The studied toponymes, collected in their majority from indexes of two cartographic sources, are analysed from etimological-semantic and formal point of view (corresponding, respectively, to division according to colour and classification in three groups: simple colour names, derivatives from colour names and composed names). The final considerations contain conclusions resulting from the analysis, accompanied by a provisory map illustrating some of indicated phenomena.

There is a growing interest in empowering older adults to age in place by different types of technology. In the last few years isolated programs with virtual reality, augmented and exergame was been developed in order to address the active and healthy ageing. The focus of this article is to analyse the influence of the VirtuALL project on 810 participants over 65 years old (76.5 ± 7.27 years; 76% female) from 6 Municipalities in the Centre region of Portugal. The findings revealed an improvement in digital skills, social interaction, physical and cognitive performance, suggesting that interventions that combine different technology with social innovation are assumed as an important strategy for the promotion of healthy aging and ageing in place, but additional research is needed to prove its effectiveness.

The purpose of this article is to analyse the influence of Portugal in Malacca and Ayutthaya in comparison with Hoi An from the sixteenth century to the seventeenth century in the context of commerce and evangelism. On that basis, this study shows both the similarities and the differences in Portuguese operations in these three ports. Finally, the article makes some observations about the distinct features of Hoi An in the process of trading and of receiving Christianity from merchants and congregations under the patronage of the Portuguese Crown. In order to carry out this study, the main method used was the historical analysis method, combined with comparative research based on relevant sources. In particular, besides monographs, the study also draws on the latest research results which have been published in recent years. The results of the article will encourage further study of the method of establishment of Portuguese power in Malacca, Ayutthaya, and Hoi An in the sixteenth century and the seventeenth century and the distinctiveness of Hoi An in the process of receiving the influence of Portugal.

Whereas at the beginning of his career Brazilian anthropologist and sociologist Gilberto Freyre researched into his fatherland's cultural identity, later his thought got markedly cosmopolitan features. It was especially in the context of post-World War II world when Freyre's ideas resounded. Even though initially disregarded, forceful impact of decolonization made him visible – particularly his theory of Lusotropicalism – to Salazarist political and intellectual elites for his thought could provide them with longed-for and highly uselful legitimizing myth. Thus, Freyre's scientific theory got rapidly politicized in Portugal and it became part of Salazarist mythology and valuable ally in the search of the new place in the decolonized world. Freyre's theses about specific, i.e. not typically European and not ethnocentric, character of Portuguese colonization became a part of Salazar's official speeches and interviews and was frequently reminded by both Salazarist authorities and anti-Salazarist opposition. Thus, originally scientific and foreign concept was skillfully exploited in international politics and propaganda.

Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies have been reliably associated with psychopathology while lower consistency has been found for adaptive strategies. The extent to which adaptive strategies may function as protective factors was explored by analysing how adaptive and maladaptive strategies relate to a diverse range of symptoms in 370 college students. We used the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Brief Symptom Inventory, and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. We developed a Portuguese version of CERQ. Different cognitive strategies predicted the nine psychological symptoms tested. At least one maladaptive strategy predicted each symptom dimension, while the same was not true for adaptive strategies. Our study supports: 1) cognitive emotion regulation as a trans diagnostic process that encompasses variability in the strategies underlying specific symptomatology; 2) that lower adaptive strategies sometimes predict psychological symptoms, but that higher maladaptive strategies are more consistently associated with psychopathology; 3) Portuguese CERQ’s validity.

The unusual representation of a Portuguese man made in the sketch «Portugalczyk Osculati» (1959) of the polish television entertainment program Kabaret Starszych Panow suggested the pursuit and analysis of its origins and motivations. Beyond the geographical and cultural distance between Portugal and Poland, it is the recurrence and uniformity to other known representations of the Portuguese people that astounds. Opposing the omniscience and creative genius of the author, Jeremi Przybora, to the simple possibility of a poetical accident, one might find new interpretative dimensions in which not all is what it seems.

This article makes a comparative analysis of political developments in Portugal and Czechoslovakia during the 1960s and early 1970s, focusing on the historic year ‘1968’ and its preconditions. The two countries experienced authoritarian regimes that went through a crisis of both a systemic and a moral kind, reaching a climax in 1968. In Czechoslovakia the liberalization policy of Alexander Dubček and his reform-communist coalition triggered spontaneous political and cultural activities among the population, which became a threat to the system of one-party rule. The Warsaw Pact invasion in August 1968 put an end to this experiment and the illusion of reform communism. The analysis of the causes, contradictions, and failure of liberalization remains a challenging subject for contemporary historians. Comparing the Czechoslovak experience with the evolution of the right-wing dictatorship in Portugal during the same period, may help to deepen our understanding of the nature and limits of authoritarianism in Europe. In Portugal the protracted regime of António Salazar came to an end in the same year 1968 after a series of manifestations of political crisis in the 1960s had shown its weaknesses and the inevitability of reform. However, his successor Marcelo Caetano maintained the regime’s authoritarian core and only carried out some cosmetic changes to keep Portugal with its colonies afloat. The Portuguese had to wait until 1974 for the regime to collapse, a short period of time, however, compared with the twenty-one more years that the Czechs and Slovaks had to wait. The extent of political space for opposition activity and the nature of elite disunity are among the critical questions examined in this article, which makes a comparison of Portugal and Czechoslovakia a challenging endeavour.

This essay tries to make a comparative analysis of Portugal and Slovakia as European nations from a modern historical, contemporary political and multicultural perspective. It is hoped that in this way not only the differences but also certain similarities between the two countries can be elucidated. The historical perspective shows that there are parallels between Portugal and Slovakia in various ways, e.g. with regard to the strong position of the Catholic Church and the problems in introducing earlier programmes of social, cultural and political modernisation. The political analysis of developments in the twentieth century shows that in both nations it was rather difficult to carry through policies of democratic political reform, as Portugal fell prey to a right-wing authoritarian regime with fascist overtones and Slovakia first experienced a similar form of ‘clerical fascism’ and then had to undergo the yoke of communist totalitarianism. As a result both countries are still suffering from a legacy of ‘democratic deficit’, although Slovakia probably more than Portugal. Not the least interesting aspect of the social, cultural and political profile of present-day Portugal and Slovakia is the issue of multicultural problems and population structure. In both countries this is a notable feature of the contemporary scene. In Portugal the issue is mainly the result of mass immigration from the country’s former colonies; in Slovakia it is rather a question of long-standing problems such as the status of the Hungarian minority and the social integration of the substantial Roma population. A comparison of both variants of the multicultural problematic is an interesting and challenging task for contemporary historians and social and political scientists.

This essay tries to make a comparative analysis of the political dynamics of Portugal and Slovakia in the first half of the twentieth century (1910-1939) in terms of the significance of conservative political Catholicism. The two countries belonged to a group of nations in Europe in which there was a strong reaction to political liberalism, progressive republicanism, cultural secularism, and socialism. This antagonism can arguably be seen as a modern continuation of the historic conflict between the Protestant and humanist Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Its twentieth-century manifestation was of course somewhat different from the original sixteenth- and seventeenth-century conflict. After the eighteenth century the historic force of anti-Catholic Reformation was mainly expressed in the form of intellectual Enlightenment, anti-clericalism, and social and cultural progressivism. But it would seem that in many ways the dynamics and aggressive energy of this great cultural confrontation was continued during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, although in a modified ideological and political shape. The years between 1910 and 1940 were the period when the conflict between political progressivism and Catholic conservatism reached its culmination. In Portugal the forces of cultural secularism and liberal republicanism were defeated by the new authoritarian regime led by Salazar. In Slovakia the foundation and then the end of the First Czechoslovak Republic brought the rise and then the victory of the Catholic opposition movement, the Slovak People’s Party of Andrej Hlinka and Jozef Tiso. The authors of this essay would argue that a comparison of Portugal and Slovakia is useful in trying to understand the significance of the political force of conservative and anti-liberal Catholicism. From a Slovak point of view, looking at Portugal seems helpful in coming to terms with this European and Slovak phenomenon.

Successful inclusive education requires school transformations and changes to the education system. In Portugal new legislation passed in 2018 (Decree-law 54/2018) brought a new perspective in inclusive education for all educational agents. Three years later, it is essential that the legislation is evaluated by the teachers implementing it. Forty-three primary and secondary school teachers and two coordinators of multidisciplinary teams providing inclusive education support were the participants of our study. The data collection instruments were a questionnaire and interviews. This study values the participants’ narratives, highlighting the new concepts and attitudes required for the implementation of the new inclusive education legal framework in Portugal. The results of the thematic analysis were organized around four key themes: 1. Theoretical representations; 2. Practices; 3. Challenges; and 4. Training. It is also worth noting the notions of collaborative work, the need for reflective teachers and the development of learning communities to support the implementation of the new legislation.

The article deals with the activities of the first Czech visitors to Brazil. They travelled there as soldiers in the service of the Dutch West Indies Company (WIC). The company strove to establish commercial bases and colonies in the period 1630-1654 in conflict with the Portuguese, but in the end it failed. The theme is placed in the wider context of Dutch expansion in the Atlantic region, which reached its peak in the second quarter of the 17th century.

Punktem wyjścia prowadzonego w tym artykule wywodu jest teza o istniejących między Polską a Portugalią podobieństwach z zakresu zagadnień migracyjnych. W pierwszym rzędzie, celem wykazania owych podobieństw, autorka prześledziła historię Portugalii z perspektywy migracyjnej od czasów wielkich odkryć geograficznych. Jednocześnie wybrane portugalskie doświadczenia odniesiono do sytuacji Polski w omawianym zakresie. Następnie przybliżono wdrożone w Portugalii określone rozwiązania o charakterze politycznym, które wpisują się w ramy – wysuwanych przez Rafała Matyję, Annę Siewierską-Chmaj i Konrada Pędziwiatra – poszczególnych postulatów zasadniczych wytycznych polskiej doktryny imigracyjnej. A wspomnianymi postulatami są: po pierwsze, udzielanie ochrony uchodźcom; po drugie, działanie na rzecz szeroko pojmowanej repatriacji; po trzecie, otwarcie na migrantów z Europy, a także z innych zbliżonych do niej pod względem kulturowym obszarów i dostrzeżenie w nich potencjalnych współobywateli oraz po czwarte, przedsiębranie działań mających na celu sprowadzenie do Polski wysoko wykwalifikowanych obcokrajowców.

The thesis that there is a resemblance between Poland and Portugal in the field of migration issues is serving as a starting point for this article. First of all, the author looks at the history of Portugal since the Age of Exploration from a migration perspective. At the same time, the chosen events of Portuguese history refer to the situation of Poland within the scope of this article. Then, the author describes specific political solutions implemented in Portugal, which are compatible with a suggestion for the fundamental guidelines on the Polish immigration doctrine put forward by Rafał Matyja, Anna Siewierska-Chmaj, and Konrad Pędziwiatr. Those guideposts are: firstly; protection for refugees, secondly; working for broadly understood repatriation, thirdly; being open to migrants from Europe, as well as from other culturally similar areas and identifying them as potential fellow citizens, fourthly; undertaking a task aimed at bringing highly qualified foreigners to Poland.

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the effects of public R&D subsidies on the innovative activities of private firms in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Portugal. We investigate whether public R&D subsidies make firms’ activities more innovative. We measure these effects using firm-level data from the 2010 and 2012 Community Innovation Survey and estimated the effects by propensity score matching. We find that the subsidies do not fully crowd out private sources of R&D expenditure in any of these countries. However, there is a substantial heterogeneity in the impact of the subsidies on firms’ innovativeness. R&D subsidies do support true innovations in the Czech Republic and Germany, but they enhance only imitations in Bulgaria and Portugal.
