- Assessing Q Fever Exposure in Veterinary Professionals: A Study on Seroprevalence and Awareness in Portugal, 2024Publication . Guilherme Moreira; Mário Ribeiro; Miguel Martins; José Maria Cardoso; Esteves, Fernando; Sofia Anastácio; Sofia Duarte; Vala Correia, Helena Maria; Cruz, Rita; Mesquita, João R.Due to their frequent contact with animals, veterinarians may be at preferential risk of Coxiella burnetii exposure due to occupational contact with livestock. This study assesses the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with C. burnetii seropositivity in Portuguese veterinarians. A cross-sectional study compared IgG anti-C. burnetii in veterinarians’ sera to a demographically matched control group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses evaluated associations between the demographic, occupational, and biosecurity factors and seropositivity. Seroprevalence among veterinarians was 33.7%, significantly higher (p = 0.0023) than in the controls (17.39%). Univariate analysis identified higher seropositivity in the northern region (p = 0.03), though this association was not significant after adjustment (p = 0.07). Protective measures, including isolating aborting animals from the rest of the herd (adjusted OR [aOR]: 0.35, p = 0.03) and wearing gloves during sample collection (OR: 0.28, p = 0.009), were significantly associated with lower infection risk. Veterinarians face increased C. burnetii exposure, but specific biosecurity practices reduce risk. Strengthening preventive measures, including personal protective equipment (PPE) use and biosecurity training, is essential to mitigate occupational and public health risks. Further research should explore vaccination strategies and molecular epidemiology to improve risk reduction efforts.

- Boas práticas de saúde pública no Instagram: Estudo comparado entre Portugal e BrasilPublication . Pinto, PâmelaA saúde pública é uma das maiores preocupações de uma sociedade. Ela garante a sua própria existência, não somente no sentido físico, mas também no imaterial. Quando se tem saúde pública, também se tem uma maior coalizão entre as pessoas, pois todas recebem os cuidados naquilo que temos de mais precioso: a vida. No entanto, saúde pública é algo que não se restringe a hospitais bem equipados e equipes médicas treinadas. É preciso tratar de prevenção, e ela começa com a educação. Os cuidados necessários para prevenir doenças estão entre os primeiros pontos a serem trabalhados, pois, através deles, as pessoas aprendem a viver de forma mais saudável. Isso se aplica à alimentação, por exemplo. Com as orientações corretas, é possível reduzir diversas crises sanitárias de cunho alimentar, já que esta é um dos cuidados mais importantes que podemos ter com o nosso corpo. Outro tema a ser trabalhado é a higiene. Através dela, criamos barreiras elementares para as doenças que nos afligem como espécie animal.

- Center of Portugal Tourism: Effects of Video Advertisements on Positive Emotions and Narrative TransportationPublication . Santos, Sara; Vasconcelos, Maria; Ferreira, Sónia; Augusto, Luísa; Santo, Pedro EspíritoNowadays, it is possible to acknowledge the appeal of online platforms for advertising or the growing popularity of videos as a form of viewer engagement and entertainment. In video advertising, the narrative framework significantly impacts how the message is interpreted, particularly when storytelling techniques are applied. Moreover, the quality and format of the advertising's message directly impact consumers' intention to make a purchase. Recently, short movies have become very popular and offer much promise for marketing travel. The way that the advertisement presents the location can have a significant impact on how people feel towards the destination. Through the creation of compelling advertisements, marketers can significantly impact customer feelings, piquing their interest in destinations. A total of 906 responses were gathered for the study, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modelling and the SMART-PLS program. All the hypotheses that were tested were confirmed, indicating that the narrative structure, transportation, and advertisement design all had a significant impact on the development of positive feelings in the viewers of the promotional videos. Therefore, the narrative and design of the advertising influence the positive emotions of tourists who see this ad. These findings bolster the body of knowledge regarding using narratives in travel videos and imply that promotional videos can effectively accomplish destination marketing. Moreover, these carry repercussionsfor marketing professionals, giving them invaluable guidance on producing compelling and memorable content for travel-related videos.

- Co-creation & design ¿ Living heritage routes project: memories itineraries for the city of LamegoPublication . Fernandes, Didiana; Marques dos Santos, Paula Alexandra; Pereira Vieira, Isabel CristinaThe “Living heritage routes” project aims to interpret a given geographical area for tourism - the city of Lamego - based on the visual/oral perceptions and memories of the residents, so that it is possible to create tourist proposals, based on co-creation, that involve the local community, students and cultural agents through the ontemporary interpretation of the space. The project has three istinct phases: 1st survey of the material and immaterial cultural heritage; 2nd elaboration of tourist itineraries and 3rd realization of an event that promotes and divulges the project - through a historical recreation of the space. The main objectives of this study were to involve the local population in projects that aim to recover and promote the local tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We believe that it is possible to create new cultural and artistic products, such as thematic itineraries, based on the image, perceptions and memories of the resident population, which can attract more visitors, improving the development of sustainable tourism aimed at local culture promoting. The methodology of this project, as far as its 1st phase is concerned, went through a qualitative approach, using mental maps, accompanied by interview, as a method of enquiry, in order to understand the local community's perception of their urban space. The analysis and interpretation of the mental maps will follow the methodology presented by Kozel (2007). The results obtained through a first analysis of the interviews and the mental maps, applied to 40 residents of the city of Lamego from four different age groups allowed, in a first preliminary analysis, the identification of new natural and cultural tangible and intangible heritage resources, as well as the identification of several points connected to the singularity and identity of the city and its districts. It was also clear that the connection of residents to their districts influences the way they perceive the city, as well as its symbolic and representational icons. The results reinforce the importance of involving residents, in the cocreation of heritage tourism products, allowing the construction and renewal of the tourism offer in small historical towns
