Abstract
Findings of Iron Age metallurgical activities related to tin metal and mining are very rare. In the present work, we present a detailed study of the Outeiro de Baltar hillfort, dated to the Late Iron Age/Early Roman period, located in a place where 20th century tin mining work took place. Elemental and microstructural analysis by portable, micro and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF, micro-XRF and WDXRF) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersion spectrometer (SEM-EDS) showed that metallurgical debris found at the archaeological site is related to tin smelting and binary and ternary bronze productions. Analysis of the artefacts of diverse typologies found at the site showed that a variety of metals and alloys were in circulation and use. Samples of tin ores (cassiterite) from the region were analyzed for comparison with an archaeological tin slag from the site. The analytical results point to the production of tin metal using local cassiterite and the production of bronze by directly adding cassiterite into a smelting process. Furthermore, data of remote sensing (airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and historical aerial imagery) and Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping were combined with archival mining documentation and maps to retrieve a landscape context for the site. The study showed that the place of the Outeiro de Baltar hillfort (NW Iberia) was mined periodically over time.

Abstract
The main objective of continuing education for trainers is to promote the updating, improvement, and
acquisition of new didactic and pedagogical skills that cover different fields of action, namely the
design, development, and implementation of training programs in the field of research and
experimentation of new approaches and methodologies applied to diversified audiences and contexts,
especially in e-Learning and b-Learning environments.
To fulfill these competencies, the IEFP National Centre for Trainer Qualification (CNQF), besides
managing and coordinating the training and certification system for trainers in Portugal, has been
developing a modular structure for the Initial Pedagogical Training of Trainers and the Continuous
Pedagogical Training of the Distance Trainer (e-Trainer) to contribute to the acquisition and
development of pedagogical and technical competences of trainers that will contribute to raising the
standards of quality of the training provided.
Technological innovation and evolution launch new challenges to Trainers requiring a great effort to
adapt and master both from the point of view of pedagogical models and communication processes in
learning environments and digital content. This new Continuous Pedagogical Training Referential in
Digital Content for Self-Learning (e-Content) was designed in this context. It explores the pedagogical
and technological dimensions of producing digital content for distance learning environments.
This article presents the fundamentals of this framework, its application, and validation in a case study
supported by two e-Content training courses. With this case study and in a perspective of continuous
improvement, we intend to understand how the modular structure of the adopted framework influences
the results obtained by the trainees of the e-Content training courses and their degree of satisfaction.

Abstract
Currently, business organizations are struggling with the increasing demand for learning needs to address their knowledge gaps. They must have a structure that can reach all employees in terms of training and extract all the important data which is collected by Learning Management Systems during the instruction or learning process. This data will be of extreme importance for better business decisions. In this paper, it is presented a Systematic Literature Review with their respective phases duly explained and framed in the topic. It allowed us to understand the benefits, challenges, enablers, and inhibitors of the deployment and usage of a specified Teaching-Learning Analytics Framework. Finally, it is concluded, that the development of a reference model, could fulfill this gap in knowledge and help business organizations to allocate resources better and improve the decision-making process as well as an instructional and learning process. To achieve the final goal of this research, future work about the development of a Survey Research methodology will be started to fulfill this gap of knowledge.

Abstract
E-Learning has been widely implemented in educational institutions to improve the learning process and meet the new challenges imposed by technology in the 21st century. The implementation and use of learning management systems (LMS) in organizations have grown exponentially in recent years and have strongly impacted education, especially in higher education. The present systematic review aims to identify studies and research topics that are being addressed to improve the learning process in the e-Learning context in higher education institutions and map the studies on the implementation and use of LMS. The review process examined 30 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria on the topic over the past five years, adopting Kitchenham's systematic review design methodology. The results showed that technology alone would not be enough for e-Learning to become a dominant teaching standard. The digital literacy of the stakeholders is crucial in this process.

Abstract
Managing company knowledge and using it effectively is more than ever a strong competitive advantage in the business world. The scientific area of knowledge management and knowledge management systems have been intensively studied in the last years; however, we still see the unstructured implementation of knowledge management systems in organizations, the misalignment of knowledge management systems from the business model and the frustration non-use, lack of systems integration and/or non-return on investment made either in technology or spent on heavy implementation processes. The state-of-the-art conducted during this study, showed that most knowledge management systems alignment models in the business context have a strong focus on the organizational dimension, e.g., culture, organizational processes, organizational structure, and leadership, having been identified only three models that also cover, simultaneous, the technological and strategic dimension. Our final objective in this study is, following the research survey methodology, to develop a proposed framework for the strategic alignment of knowledge management systems that can support company managers in their decision-making, and to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge in this area.

Abstract
In the digital age, the training in companies can be facilitated through a proper system to the company's demand. A learning platform personalized to the profile of employees can facilitate the selection of training that tailored to their roles. This research aims to investigate the existence of adaptation and personalization of learning management systems (LMS) in enterprise context, that facilitate the selection of learning's content suited for employees' roles. This study focuses on literature reviewto understand the importance of a personalizedLMSin company, especially in selection of content that adequate to role of each employee.
