Abstract:

In this thesis five experimental studies were reported with the objective to improve the knowledge and provide new solutions for different and important aspects of dairy cow nutrition. The first trial was performed to examine the relationships between blood concentrations of fatty acids (NEFA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and α-tocopherol during the periparturient period in dairy cows. For the study 131 cows from 4 different farms, 2 in Italy and 2 in Greece were used. We determined blood concentrations of NEFA, BHB, and α- tocopherol at dry-off, at calving, and 30d postpartum. We found a weak cor

Higher Education has seen a dramatic increase in the use of information and communication technologies in recent years. Universities around the world have built complex infrastructures implementing local networks, wireless networks, cloud services and virtual learning environments. The term “ubiquitous connectivity” identifies the increased time- and space-independent accessibility to people, information and services allowed by the development of technological infrastructures and devices. Evidence shows that Higher Education institutions tend to focus on the benefits of ubiquitous connectivity

E-teens, besides, demonstrate marked expertise in the use of these technologies.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigated the bottom-up technology transmission process in a country with varied levels of technology diffusion, such as Chile. In particular, I explored how children act as technology brokers within their families by influencing their parents' adoption of and learning about digital media, so as to include older generations in the digital environment.

Tendo em conta a cada vez mais difícil articulação entre tarefas e horários, existe uma necessidade cada vez maior de rentabilizar todos os momentos do dia. Aqui, a introdução das tecnologias de informação permitiu-nos estar em constante contacto com tudo aquilo que nos rodeia. Na atualidade o automóvel é ainda um meio de transporte utilizado por uma grande percentagem da população para as suas deslocações diárias. Perdemos cerca de 3 dias por ano em filas de trânsito. A necessidade de rentabilizar ao máximo todos os minutos e de estar contactável, poderá ter contribuído para que tenham
