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.

Abstract
This article approaches the concept of gamification in teaching and learning contexts, mainly in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), to increase the motivation and commitment of students in the perseverance to complete the course. The use of game elements and concepts prompts an important factor in the way methodologies move toward for the development of student-directed courses.

Abstract
Currently, the growing population demand for new technological resources, its housing growth and economic growth has brought to the fore a global discussion about how we should progress as a nation without affecting people's health and the planet's natural course in the coming years. Figures from 2019 indicate that each habitant produces 513.4 kilos of waste annually. The Portuguese environment agency has warned that these resources will be too destined for landfills, which will stop almost three out of five kilos (57.6%) of our urban waste.
The country's effective recycling rate is (23.7%), when compared to the targets set by the European Union for the year 2025 (55%) Portugal needs impulses and some actions to encourage smart and conscious recycling.
One of the factors addressed in this article is the uncontrolled advance of waste generated by individuals and companies, ways in which they are discarded in nature, actions that the government has taken and how the authors intend to help improve these numbers, bringing the country closer to the goals established by European Union.
Important facts about waste recycling are:
• Without some type of inspection / incentive / appropriate disposal site or help, many inhabitants choose to dispose of garbage in a simpler and easier way;
• Access to public services for collection at home is very scarce and/or poorly managed;
• Material characteristics identification is ineffective and does not allow proper disposal;
• It is easier to use the “common trash” option if there is no incentive or any policy to raise awareness among the inhabitants;
• Correct recycling brings countless benefits not only to the inhabitants and the environment, but also to the economy and industries in general.
As a result of the study, tools in the form of mobile systems and applications with various control resources and intuitive assistants will be delivered in order to facilitate and make more pleasurable and exciting the way in which waste is characterized, disposed and reused by different organizational spheres to considerably reduce incorrect disposal and mitigate this impact on our planet thus making it healthier and less toxic for us and our future generations.
Keywords
Applications, conscious recycling, economic growth, mobile systems, sustainability, waste collection.

Abstract
The 5G technology corresponds to the 5th generation of mobile cellular networks, which, by the time this paper was written, was not yet commercially available in some countries, like Portugal. Therefore, the reason for this paper subject is to make known a general description of this new 5G technology, namely, its main improvements in respect to the previous 4th generation: the support of higher data transmission rates, enabling a network capacity/connectivity increase and the lower radio transmission latency, with their benefits for users and operators.

DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-49
Abstract
Before the invention of computers all cryptographic methods were calculated manually, and as such the cryptographic methods developed during that period took into account this limitation. The Caesar Cipher method was one of the first to be used and disseminated in several countries. This method is very simple, which implies that with current means you can break your security quickly and easily. However, it has a characteristic that, given its nature, any change in the method increases its safety, and like other authors in this article, it will be shown that a small change will imply some improvement in the method's safety.
