With roots in the slow movement, slow travel is an emerging trend. In slow travel, the use of clean transportation is identified by some authors as a distinguishing characteristic of the concept; however, diversity of choices and profiles seems to contradict this assessment. To date, typologies of slow travellers are still scarce and any connections with mobility and time remain to be investigated, particularly concerning slow travel literature. In this article, using a qualitative approach, we analysed the discourse of a set of slow travellers who author a travel blog to understand their experiences, the interconnection between (slow) travel and blogging and how they represent time and mobility. The results indicate that slow travel blogs are not only a robust source of information concerning the emergence of this travel mode but also a product and producer of it, in a dialectic process. The subjective perceptions and representations of slowness are a central element of the discourse framing the travel experience. Contradictions between the slowness of the travel mode and the instantaneity of the blog emerged, and an interpretation is proposed, based on the voices of the travellers/bloggers.

The anodic oxidation of oxytetracycline was performed with success using as anode a boron-doped diamond electrode. The experiments were conducted in batch mode, using two different electrochemical cells: an up-flow cell, with recirculation, that was used to evaluate the influence of recirculation flow rate; and a stirred cell, used to determine the influence of the applied current density. Besides oxytetracyclin electrodegradation rate and mineralization extent, oxidation by-products were also assessed. Both the flow rate and the applied current density have shown positive influence on the oxytetracycline oxidation rate. On the other hand, the mineralization degree presented the highest values at the lowest flow rate and the lowest current density tested. The main oxidation by-products detected were oxalic, oxamic and maleic acids.

La socialización de género ocurre cotidianamente y marca de forma indeleble la identidad individual, así como la cultura de las organizaciones y de los grupos. La interacción entre discentes e docentes forma parte del proceso de socialización de género. De ese modo, diversas investigaciones muestran que la atención que se presta y las expectativas que los docentes tienen de los alumnos y las alumnas son diferentes. En esta investigación se buscó analizar y caracterizar a un grupo de docentes universitarios portugueses, mujeres y hombres, en cuanto a sus estereotipos de género y sexismo, con el objetivo de promover la reflexión del conjunto de agentes educativos involucrados. Los resultados obtenidos nos permiten concluir que esos y esas docentes poseen estereotipos de género, pero con algunas particularidades interesantes, como el hecho de que a las mujeres se les atribuye mayor carga de rasgos instrumentales. Igualmente, se verificó que el tipo de sexismo que predomina es el sexismo ambivalente, ya que los hombres presentan actitudes sexistas significativamente más hostiles que las mujeres.

<span>Hazing consists in a set of practices hold by the senior university students which aim to welcome and integrate the new students. A major objective of this study is to serve as an empirical basis for the discussion of this practice within the academic community of a Portuguese university. It used an analytical approach based on the concept of harassment. It was applied an adaptation of the survey Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terror (LIPT). We found that the large majority of participants (92.8%) were exposed to at least one situation of harassment during hazing. The more frequent harassment behaviors found are limiting communication and dismissing people.</span>
