Abstract
Promoting contextualised and meaningful learning is a peremptory issue in an inclusive school. The motivation for this study was based on the observation of the difficulties and adaptations of educational practice around children and young people with specific needs. It was verified the scarcity of free technological resources at national level, the need to use international software and the difficulties experienced by teachers and technicians in adapting educational models due the lack of training in the area of information and communication technologies. This study aims to identify the software and educational digital resources aimed at special education existing in three clusters, the difficulties experienced by teachers and technicians in adapting materials and the importance of new technologies in inclusive education. To this end, a survey was used as a research method in the School Groups of Entroncamento, Vila Nova da Barquinha and Torres Novas with the participation of special education groups and specialised technicians. Its access was made available to participants via email, the data gathered were subjected to a qualitative and quantitative analysis, with exploratory descriptive analysis in the objective questions and content analysis in the descriptive ones. Additionally, a literature review was conducted around technology and inclusive education based on articles published in the B-On scientific database. After the selection, 6 studies were considered as the final sample of the investigation. The main results of the research carried out, point to the importance of technological resources in optimizing inclusive education, particularly in students with specific needs. The scarcity of materials that allow the adaptability of content to the specificities of students and the lack of training of professionals in the area of ICT.

Ricardo Baptista, Renato Santos, Procedural generation: diversification algorithms for level generation in an RPG video game DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-66
Abstract
It is necessary to provide some gameplay diversity to nurture a growing desire to play again when it comes to simple video games. To this end, we can focus on one of the most prominent components, the videogame environment itself.
Procedural generation algorithms assist both the developer in the development process and the player by providing new experiences each time he plays. However, studying and choosing the correct algorithm for the desired video game style is essential for success since if the algorithm does not fit the intended purpose, the feeling when playing will not be the same.
This article intends to approach some of the videogame genres and present a procedural level generation algorithms study, followed by the analysis of the algorithm implemented in a videogame developed as a personal project.

Dulce Mourato, Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing: Simple Checklist to Virtualization
DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-63
Abstract
With the COVID-19 Pandemic, Portuguese enterprises discover the crucial opportunity to make the difference worldwide with virtualization, using Cloud Computing technologies, however they are yet not fully convinced. Cloud security and privacy seems to be the main problems for organizations early adoption. It was possible to use a descriptive methodology, and an literature review approach to differentiate solutions, build on a simple checklist format and reveal essential arguments, that any small and medium-sized Portuguese company should take into account, before purchasing Cloud technologies adapted to its potential growth.
One of the major limitations of this study, was the inability to point out at real business environment, only using observation and scientific, technological and specialized level studies, presented here as potential result. The goal was verify if the applications or services implementation for protection and security scalability - really works.

Abstract
Nowadays, telework is increasingly seen as an issue that must be addressed importantly and that solutions are found to enhance and strengthen it. As a result, organizations are increasingly relying on hybrid models of telework and presential work. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether an objective approach in the correlation between the tools made available and employee training and awareness for good use practices will reduce the risks associated with telework.

DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-59
Abstract
A firewall is a solution for securing computer networks; it can be a software program or a hardware device that allows or inhibits access to or from a system. Firewalls are used regularly to prevent untrusted Internet-originating traffic from accessing private systems and networks. All connection requests and packets that intend to pass through the firewall are analyzed according to the configured security criteria and denied or allowed. By rule, firewalls are designed to protect against unauthorized and abusive access. This paper is intended to provide a historical background on the technological evolution of firewalls and present the concept, functionalities, benefits of use, and aspects to be taken into account when choosing and setting firewalls.

Abstract
In an increasingly dynamic and unpredictable world regarding IT security, it's essential to use adequate solutions that boost infrastructures protection, whether local, in the cloud, or hybrid. This article contextualizes the challenges of the new reality of remote work with traditional security solutions. Furthermore, it explains the importance of implementing a solution that has a holistic view of the infrastructure and correlates all suspicious or attack events. Thus, it enhances an improved and updated security to the current reality.

Pedro Ramos Brandao, Jeremias Tavares, Detection and Prevention of TCP SYN Flood DoS Attacks: Concepts
DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-57
Abstract
Internet security is a topic of high importance, and in recent years it has gained greater popularity with the growing wave of DoS attacks perpetuated through TCP SYN Flood. This kind of attack has several types of motivation: political, unfair competition, human evil. It is intended to deepen the concepts related to this type of attack architecture and which vulnerabilities are exploited that possibly facilitate the success of the SYN Flood. The central attack prevention systems, IDS and IPS, are presented conceptually. A simulation of the attack in a virtually recreated environment is depicted as proof of concept and execution. In contrast, there is evidence of the greater demand and growing sophistication of the means of detection and prevention using modern technologies.

Abstract
This article is based on a research whose objective was to identify and analyze, in the current context of technological development related to new forms of production and organization of working times, the main impacts that are expected regarding the future of labor, the adequacy of resource qualification, and the challenges of society and economic activity.
The research has shown that technological progress, being fundamental to the sustainability of business and economy, requires adjustments at the level of resources, society and companies' empowerment, the State's crucial role in supporting and creating the conditions through public policies for development and economic recovery.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to point out some insight at the low female presence in higher education courses related with ICT/IS. What are the reasons that lead most students to seek courses linked to new technologies, such as computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, internet, and cloud computing, to be male whilst fewer female students follow that direction? To better contextualize this issue, data from the last 15 years at ISTEC-Porto are presented, where gender inequality is evident. Some of the reasons found in the literature are indicated and possible solutions to reduce this gender imbalance are pointed out.
Keywords
Gender inequality, digital inclusion, higher education, information technologies.
