- Cognitive abilities and physical activity in community-dwelling elderlyPublication . Martins, Emília; Fernandes, Rosina; Mendes, Francisco; Felizardo, Sara; Pocinho, R.; Margarido, C.; Santos, R.; Marques, L.; Trindade, B.; Silva, S.; Gordo, S.There is evidence of the protective role of the regular practice of physical activity (PA) in relation to the aging cognitive decline. A non-exper- imental quantitative study was developed to explore the relationship between physical activity and cognitive abilities in community-dwelling elderly, ana- lysing the relevance of sociodemographic and health related variables. The convenience sample included 546 participants, aged between 63 and 94 years (72.85+6.55), mostly female (69.6%), from the inland of the country (79.5%) and rural areas (68.2%). For data collection, in addition to the sociodemographic questionnaire, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Modified Baecke Questionnaire were used. Statistical analyses (p<.05) were performed using the SPSS-IBM 27. The results point to a positive and significant relationship between the global scores of MoCA and Baecke (r,- 138, p<.02). Self-perception of health was also positively associated with both the MoCA and Baecke global scores (r,- 23 2» p<.001 and r =.204, p<.Oil) and age showed a negative relationship with those two variables (r,- -.294, p<.001 and r,-- *1 3, p<.001). In the association between MoCA and Baecke, the contrast between genders was quite sharp, with males not show ing any statistical relevance (p>.05) in contrast to females (rs=.182, p<.05). Household (living alone or accompanied) showed significant differences in the MOCA, favourable to those living accompanied (U=-3.96, p>.001). In Baecke, only the gender contrast was statistically significant, favourable to females (U= 25395, pt.05). These data are reinforced by scientific evidence and point to policies that promote the practice of physical activity in elderly.
- A coleção "Trinka e João": O grande fogo; o dia em que a terra tremeuPublication . Magalhães, Cátia; Sargento, José; Alves, Ana Berta; Carraça, Bruno; Rodrigues, FilipaA ocorrência de desastres naturais pode ser desafiante para crianças e educadores. É descrita uma experiência educativa que utiliza histórias como estratégia para lidar com o stress que estes acontecimentos podem despoletar. Neste âmbito, surge a experiência educativa da coleção ‘Trinka e João’, designadamente com os livros O Grande Fogo e O Dia em que a Terra Tremeu, que visa sensibilizar e capacitar pais e educadores e proporcionar o contacto e a utilização de recursos baseados na evidência e referenciados como boas práticas (APA; NCTSN; SAMHSA). Esta experiência educativa pretende facilitar conversas difíceis, mas importantes, e a prática de estratégias nos distintos contextos educativos. Adotou-se uma metodologia fundamentalmente qualitativa, que permitiu a análise de seis (6) depoimentos de profissionais que utilizaram este recurso em contexto não formal de educação. As histórias infantis, de livre acesso, editadas pela Piplo Productions, com o apoio da Fundação Irving Harris e da Rede de Tratamento de Trauma Precoce da Universidade da Califórnia e do Centro Nacional da Rede Nacional de Stress Traumático Infantil, da Administração de Serviços de Saúde Mental e Abuso de Substâncias, Departamento de Saúde e Serviços Humanos dos EUA, foram traduzidas e adaptadas para português por Magalhães et al. (2021; 2022), por se considerar relevante trazer para o nosso contexto recursos que permitem apoiar pais/educadores, profissionais e as crianças que atravessam momentos de maior desafio.
- Compassionate Psychological Felxibility in Athletes and CoachesPublication . Bruno Carraça; Magalhães, Cátia; Matos, Margarida Gaspar; Corresponding author: Bruno Carraça.Psychological skills training approaches that integrate Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programs (Kabat-Zinn, 2013) with interventions focused on compassion (Wilson et al., 2018), flow optimization (Carraca et al., 2019) and psychological flexibility (Gardner, & Moore, 2017) offer evidence-based alternatives that promote improved sports performance, well-being, reduced competitive stress and the prevention of injuries in high-performance athletes (Baltzell & Akhtar, 2014; Sole, Carraca, Serpa, & Palmi, 2014), as well as optimization of the coach-athlete relationship, and binding and compassionate leadership skills in the technical staff (Carraca et al., 2020). In this context, interventions based on compassion and psychological flexibility (Kaufman, Glass, & Pineau, 2018; Porges et al., 2015) emerge as a tool for mediating dispositional flow, potentially beneficial for improving sports performance. In this chapter, we will address a model based on self-compassion and psychological flexibility in the context of sports, the COMPACT model for athletes and coaches.
- Consumer Perspectives Towards Edible Insects in a Western CountryPublication . de Pinho Ferreira Guiné, Raquel; Florença, Sofia de Guiné e; Ferreira, Manuela; Margarida Campos, Sofia; Paula Pereira de Oliveira Cardoso, Ana; Justin A. DanielsThis book includes eight chapters that detail recent advancements in environmental research. In Chapter 1, a bibliometric analysis of scholarly works published from 2014 to 2024 examines the relationship between sustainability and organizational justice in Asian higher education. In Chapter 2, the authors examine how seaweed promotes sustainable development and the blue economy and discuss how seaweed helps with food scarcity and environmental degradation. Chapter 3 focuses on the relationship between the microbiome and human health, pathologies and therapeutics of microbes, their contribution towards the environment, their role in modern agriculture and food security, advancements in technologies to study, and ethical and biosafety concerns regarding the handling of microbes. The study in Chapter 4 addresses the urgent issue of wastewater treatment and public water supply in relation to antibiotic resistance. The cost of producing biodiesel from waste vegetable oils was conducted in Chapter 5, along with an evaluation of the economic gains achievable through blending biodiesel with conventional diesel. Chapter 6 addresses issues related to the environment and sustainability and presents and discusses the findings of a study conducted in Portugal as part of the Edible Insects as Sustainable Food (EISuFood) initiative. In chapter 7, the authors address the three levels of grey water management implementation—decentralized, semi-centralized, and centralized—at the individual household, cluster, and village levels, as well as case studies. In the final chapter, the author investigates the vertical wind variability in the vicinity of tropopause.
- Cultural and Gender Adaptations of Evidence Based Family InterventionsPublication . Kumpfer, Karol; Magalhães, Cátia; Xie, JingThis chapter will review culturally and gender-adapted evidence-based family prevention and intervention programs. The growing ethnic populations in the USA and other Western countries have created the need for the development and evaluation of culturally adapted programs. The rapid spread worldwide of Western youth culture has also made effective parenting more critical to youth outcomes in non-Western cultures, requiring an extension of the evidence base for family programs to include populations in Europe, Asia, and Africa
- Currículo, Sociedade, Escola e Professores: Contributos para a (Re)Concetualização da Teoria CurricularPublication . Ramalho, HenriqueO presente ensaio debruça-se sobre a análise e compreensão da relação entre a planificação social, a escola e a ação docente no que concerne aos processos de desenvolvimento e gestão do currículo escolar. São convocados distintos aportes concetuais, designadamente, a (re)concetualização da teoria curricular entre feições tecnocratas e alinhamentos progressistas, onde são discutidas e analisadas as interseções teóricas e concetuais suscetíveis de confrontar entre as feições tecnocratas/neoconservadoras e os alinhamentos progressistas. A análise culmina com a mobilização do discurso oficial da autonomia e flexibilidade curricular em vigência no contexto português, discutindo e analisando as possibilidades de (re)concetualização da teoria curricular. Sinalizamos uma epistemologia curricular que tende a ressituar o professor na condição de “intelectual orgânico”, em detrimento da condição de “intelectual transformador crítico, acabando por surtir a relativização da expressão “Autonomia e flexibilidade curricular”, por a considerar um dos fenómenos de ressemantização mais relevante praticada pelo legislador.
- Defining “success”. In exceptional longevityPublication . Ribeiro, Oscar; Araújo, LiaThis chapter focuses on the conceptualizations of successful in exceptional longevity, and provides a scope review on how the concept has been approached in centenarian studies. Using “successful ageing” AND “centenarians” in a search across PUBMED and ISI Web of Knowledge 125 articles were identified. This analysis focused on 12 studies that have explicitly presented a successful ageing definition or appointed its potential components, highlighting the breadth of definitions and operationalization that have been considered. Main findings demonstrate an emergent interest in understanding successful adaptations to extreme longevity within both well-established conceptual frameworks (e.g., Rowe and Kahn’s model) and through the development of comprehensive alternative models (e.g., Developmental Adaptation Model; Multidimensional models). Several studies, on the other hand, have tried to explore characteristics and factors associated with successful ageing that are not based in any defined model but rather in wide-ranging psychological constructs as resilience. Regardless of the used approach for defining and/or assessing “success” in centenarians, findings highlight its incontrovertible subjectivity (rather than reaching the age of 100 as per se, like it is often appointed in several studies) and the need for more constructs that recognise the role of psychological aspects of adaptation to extreme longevity.
- Determinants of Emotional Eating: A Study Involving Different CountriesPublication . de Pinho Ferreira Guiné, Raquel; Florença, Sofia de Guiné e; Ferreira, Manuela; Margarida Campos, Sofia; Cardoso, Ana Paula
- Editorial introductionPublication . Almeida, Silvia; Sousa, Francisco; Figueiredo, Maria PachecoThis book is based on the International Seminar “Curriculum Autonomy Policies in Europe: Trends, Tensions & Transformations”, which was held at Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, on January 25 and 26, 2019. Besides including a set of papers that were presented in that context, this publication includes texts from other relevant authors who have conducted research on the topic under discussion – curriculum autonomy. This topic has received attention from many researchers, with different theoretical perspectives. In the first decades of the 20th century, which were marked by the predominance of a technical perspective, the conceptualization of curriculum autonomy tended to be limited to the idea of adapting the means to the ends, the latter being usually regarded as instrumental to the satisfaction of societal needs. But by the end of the 1960s, when the first wave of re-conceptualization changed Curriculum Studies, such relation between means and ends was questioned, and the idea that curriculum autonomy may also entail the ends became increasingly accepted. Later on, the consolidation of Critical Theory strengthened this tendency, by contesting the assumption that the ultimate aim of curriculum construction should be to fulfill the needs of society, by uncovering relations between curriculum and interests pursued by different sectors of society, and by legitimating emancipatory ways of dealing with the curriculum. Postcritical approaches also reject a conceptualization of curriculum autonomy as permission to perform technical procedures in adapting curricula whose aims are taken for granted. The concept of curriculum autonomy is not even central in the latter approaches, which emphasize that changing the curriculum requires understanding it from multiple perspectives, which emerge from different identities, related to gender, race, sexual orientation, and other factors. Accordingly, for Pinar, Reynolds, Slattery, and Taubman (1995), curriculum change depends on issues of identity and power.
