“Os consumidores vão poder continuar a utilizar a tecnologia ‘contactless’ para efetuar pagamentos presenciais até 50 euros sem introduzir o PIN”, lê-se num comunicado do BdP.
Em 25 de março de 2020, o montante máximo para pagamentos realizados com a tecnologia ‘contactless’ passou de 20 para 50 euros.
Esta alteração surgiu em resposta à evolução da pandemia de covid-19, e, para incentivar os pagamentos “sem contacto”.
Segundo o BdP, a utilização daquela tecnologia aumentou em cerca de 20% das compras com cartão, praticamente duplicando o nível de utilização existente antes da pandemia.
Assim, face ao aumento de utilizadores, a comunidade bancária nacional, em articulação com o Banco de Portugal e com a SIBS, que gere o sistema de cartões de débito, decidiu tornar permanente o limite de 50 euros para a realização destes pagamentos.
O Jornal de Notícias avança hoje com dados da GNR de que a primeira metade de 2020 representa o período com o número mais baixo de incêndios rurais dos últimos quatro anos, tendo também havido uma redução do número de detenções por fogo posto.
De acordo com o diário, até 28 de junho houve registo de 2037 ocorrências, sendo 1541 por fogos florestais e 496 por fogos agrícolas, registando-se ainda 988 falsos alarmes. Este é o valor mais baixo desde o primeiro semestre de 2016, sendo que, no período homólogo de 2018 e 2019, as autoridades foram obrigadas a agir 5957 e 5947 vezes, respetivamente.
Até agora, já houve 1076 incêndios rurais com investigação concluída, cerca de 57,5% (619) dos mesmos foram causados por negligência e em apenas 11,4% (123) dos casos terão sido fogo posto. Os investigadores, porém, não conseguiram apurar as causas em 28,5% (307) das ocorrências.
Para além da redução dos incêndios, os mesmos dados apontam também para uma diminuição significativa do número das detenções. Entre janeiro e 28 de junho, a GNR deteve 19 incendiários, perto de metade do valor do ano passado (41) e de um quatro das detenções em 2018 (81).
O número de identificações por suspeita de crime também baixou em relação aos últimos anos. Se este ano houve 138 suspeitos identificados de atear incêndios até 28 de junho, o valor foi 370 em 2019 e 701 em 2018.
Segundo avança o JN, as causas para a redução não se prendem apenas com a inibição da atividade criminosa devido à pandemia da covid-19, mas também porque a GNR começou a proceder a patrulhas utilizando drones. Serão 10 drones no país a vigiar espaços de 1114 freguesias onde os postos de vigia e a vigilância terrestre não chegam.
A vítima, com cerca de 50 anos, terá morrido devido a doença súbita.
Um homem, com cerca de 50 anos, morreu hoje, cerca das 08:00, quando nadava na zona da Praia de Matosinhos, distrito do Porto, aparentemente devido a doença súbita, disse o comandante da Capitania dos Portos do Douro e Leixões.
Em declarações à Lusa, o comandante Cruz Martins explicou que o homem tinha o hábito de praticar desporto, nomeadamente natação, com um grupo de amigos na praia de Matosinhos.
“O grupo de desportistas, que nadava em paralelo à costa, apercebeu-se que a vítima estava inanimada. Retiraram-na de imediato da água e chamaram os meios de emergência. Ainda foram tentadas manobras de reanimação, mas sem sucesso”, acrescentou Cruz Martins.
Aparentemente, o homem terá sido vítima de doença súbita, mas “só a autópsia irá esclarecer a causa da morte”.
Ao local foi chamada a Polícia Judiciária para apurar se há ou não matéria para investigação.
Os dias quentes vão continuar em Portugal continental.
Em Vila Nova de Famalicão estão até previstos 40 c.º para sexta-feira, 17 de julho. Nos restantes dias os termómetros vão andar a rondar os 36 a 38 graus, com o dia de terça-feira a ser a exceção ( 33 c.º previstos )
Cientistas do México, Estados Unidos, Espanha e Itália, liderados por uma equipa do Massachussetts Institute of Technology (EUA), estão a elaborar uma base de dados com milhares de sons de tosse de pessoas de todas as idades, com e sem covid-19.
Esses sons serão analisados através de um algoritmo e inteligência artificial para distinguir o som da tosse de alguém que não está infetado de quem tem covid-19, afirmou a responsável do projeto no México, Bárbara Vizmanos.
A tosse e até o tom de voz de uma pessoa doente, assintomática ou que não está infetada têm diferenças, notam os investigadores, o que ajuda a que o sistema consiga identificar o seu estado em 15 segundos.
“Os participantes ‘doam’ a sua tosse e os seus dados e essas tosses vão alimentar um sistema de inteligência artificial que, com reconhecimento de voz, identifica tosses de pessoas infetadas e de pessoas não infetadas, comparando-as com uma precisão de que o ouvido não é capaz”, indicou Bárbara Vizmanos.
O estudo começou há cerca de dois meses em hospitais de Espanha, Itália, Estados Unidos e México, país onde os investigadores consideram fundamental ter registos sonoros de tosse por estar a atravessar o pico da pandemia da covid-19, com mais de 295.000 casos confirmados e quase 35.000 mortes desde que o primeiro caso foi identificado, em 28 de fevereiro.
À medida que o projeto avança, passará a estar disponível através de uma aplicação que pode ser descarregada para o telemóvel gratuitamente, de modo a que as pessoas possam sujeitar a sua tosse a este “detetor“.
A pandemia de covid-19 já provocou mais de 565 mil mortos e infetou mais de 12,74 milhões de pessoas em 196 países e territórios, segundo um balanço feito pela agência francesa AFP.
Em Portugal, morreram 1.660 pessoas das 46.512 confirmadas como infetadas, de acordo com o boletim mais recente da Direção-Geral da Saúde.
A doença é transmitida por um novo coronavírusdetetado no final de dezembro, em Wuhan, uma cidade do centro da China.
Depois de a Europa ter sucedido à China como centro da pandemia em fevereiro, o continente americano é agora o que tem mais casos confirmados e mais mortes.
“Nesta altura do ano convido-vos a termos presente na nossa oração todos os bombeiros e todos aqueles que, com sacrifício e perigo, arriscam a sua própria vida pelo bem de todos”, exortou o padre Carlos Cabecinhas, na homilia da missa desta manhã no recinto do Santuário.
O reitor do Santuário pediu ainda “pelo bombeiro que perdeu a vida a combater o incêndio na Serra da Lousã, pela sua família e por todos os que ficaram feridos”.
O bombeiro, chefe na corporação de Bombeiros Voluntários de Miranda do Corvo, José Augusto Fernandes, de 55 anos de idade, morreu este sábado enquanto combatia um incêndio em Trevim, na Serra da Lousã.
O presidente da Câmara de Miranda do Corvo, Miguel Baptista, decretou três dias de luto municipal (a cumprir hoje, segunda e terça-feira) em “memória e reconhecimento” de José Augusto Fernandes, que era funcionário da Câmara Municipal desta vila, no distrito de Coimbra.
No mesmo incêndio, ficaram outros três bombeiros feridos – dois da corporação de municipais da Lousã e outro dos voluntários de Miranda do Corvo – que tiveram alta hoje de manhã, depois de terem sido encaminhados, no sábado, para os Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra, disse à agência Lusa o segundo comandante dos Bombeiros de Miranda do Corvo, Rui Bingre.
O fogo, que terá sido provocado pela trovoada seca que na ocasião se fez sentir na região, acompanhada por vento forte e com mudanças bruscas de direção, o que dificultou o trabalho de mais de 220 bombeiros de diversas corporações dos distritos de Leiria e de Coimbra.
O Ministério da Administração Interna determinou a instauração de um inquérito às circunstâncias em que ocorreu a morte do bombeiro, disse hoje à agência Lusa fonte do gabinete do ministro Eduardo Cabrita.

Store and/or access information on a device (397 seeking consent)
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Use limited data to select advertising (278 seeking consent, 96 using legitimate interest)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Create profiles for personalised advertising (293 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising (299 seeking consent)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Create profiles to personalise content (114 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Use profiles to select personalised content (107 seeking consent)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Measure advertising performance (301 seeking consent, 131 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Measure content performance (139 seeking consent, 55 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources (199 seeking consent, 67 using legitimate interest)
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Develop and improve services (200 seeking consent, 107 using legitimate interest)
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Use limited data to select content (62 seeking consent, 22 using legitimate interest)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
