Risks of ecosystems’ degradation: portuguese healthcare professionals’ mental health, hope and resilient coping
No full textHealthcare professionals constantly face situations that reflect ecosystems’ degradation.
These can negatively affect their mental health. Research suggests that hope and resilience can play an
important role in this scenario, since they are related to/predict mental health in highly heterogeneous
samples (considering geography, age, profession, health, etc.). In this context, the aims of the present
study are the following: to characterize and explore the relationship between hope, resilient coping
and mental health in Portuguese healthcare professionals. Using Google Forms, 276 healthcare
professionals answered the GHQ-28, the (adult) Trait Hope Scale, and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale
(retrospective, analytical observational, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational research design).
The minimum and maximum possible scores were reached, with the exception of the maximum score
of GHQ-28-Total. Regarding Hope, 19.6% scored below the midpoint (M = 43.46, SD = 11.97); 29.3%
revealed low resilience (M = 14.93, SD = 4.05); and the average of four of the five Mental Health
scores (exception: Severe depression) indicates the probability of a psychiatric case. Hope correlated
with Social dysfunction and GHQ-28-Total; resilient coping proved to be a (weak) predictor of four of
the five GHQ-28 indicators (exception: Severe depression). The results support the need to promote
the sample’s mental health, hope and resilient coping. They also suggest that stimulating resilient
coping may contribute to improving healthcare professionals’ mental health. Prior research (e.g., on
therapies to enhance hope, resilience and, thus, mental health), to which the current study contributes,
supports optimism towards the necessary internal sustainability transition.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Análise do docente e do estudante face às tecnologias de informação e comunicação na educação superior para suporte ao processo de aprendizagem em sala de aula
No full textOs problemas sociais no contexto brasileiro são muitos, e um deles está relacionado com a questão da adaptação dos profissionais nos mais diversos contextos de trabalho e, principalmente, da educação, mediante as exigências de um mundo globalizado e cada vez mais digital. Um dos desafios do docente na contemporaneidade é usar práticas inovadoras que contribuam e desenvolvam o indivíduo do ponto de vista pessoal, humano e social. A abordagem da educação conservadora, onde o estudante era um agente passivo e mero reprodutor de conhecimento, cede lugar a uma abordagem inovadora cujo objetivo é tornar o estudante independente e protagonista, não apenas como centro do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, mas igualmente como o seu ator, ativo e protagonista. O foco central desta pesquisa será analisar o comportamento docente frente às metodologias inovadoras, bem como, o uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na Educação Superior para suporte ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem. A pesquisa justifica-se devido ao facto de que o ambiente do século XXI se torna cada dia mais exigente, tanto para o professor como para o estudante. Neste sentido, explorar as TIC tornou-se um elemento importante para o docente no ambiente da sala de aula; já o estudante, desenvolver competências axiológicas como autonomia e responsabilidade se tornaram necessárias para com a sua própria aprendizagem, deixando de ser apenas um receptáculo de conhecimento. Deste modo, o foco deixa de ser o professor e passa a ser o estudante que, agora, se encontra no centro do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. O problema abordado nesta pesquisa tem por origem a dificuldade de adaptação do professor às tecnologias de base digital, nomeadamente aquelas que suportam as metodologias ativas e, no estudante, que mesmo percebendo a demanda do século XXI ainda insiste em participar em um contexto de uma aprendizagem conservadora e tradicional, com base em conteúdos previamente estruturados. As hipóteses levantadas nesta pesquisa são de que para que a educação aconteça ela precisa ser ofertada com qualidade e significado, o professor deve buscar formas de tornar a sua aula mais significativa e atrativa promovendo qualidade no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Assim, o estudante terá aulas mais significativas que o preparam para um contexto profissional onde terá certamente que tomar decisões complexas. A metodologia utilizada contempla uma pesquisa do estado da arte, de natureza descritiva e exploratória. Os resultados esperados da investigação apontam caminhos para a educação superior, bem como, auxiliam os seus professores na sua atividade letiva, com impacto para a qualidade de ensino no contexto educacional brasileiro. Essa investigação permitiu concluir que o docente precisa buscar preparo para utilizar as TIC de maneira eficaz a fim de contribuir com a aprendizagem do estudante, pois o ambiente pós-globalidade aliado às tecnologias pode potencializar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem e, consequentemente a qualidade desejada nas IES brasileiras, apontando pistas para a sua concretização.There are many social problems in the Brazilian context, and one of them is related to the issue of adapting professionals to the most diverse work contexts and, mainly, education, through the demands of the globalized world. The challenge for teachers in contemporary times is to use innovative practices that contribute and develop the individual from a personal and social point of view. The conservative education approach, where the student was a passive agent and a mere reproducer of knowledge, gives way to an innovative approach whose objective is to make the student independent and protagonist, not only as the center of the teaching and learning process, but also as the its actor, asset and protagonist. The central focus of this research will be to analyze the teaching behavior in face of innovative methodologies, as well as the use of Information and Communication Technologies in Higher Education to support the teaching and learning process. The research is justified due to the fact that the environment of the 21st century becomes more and more demanding, both for the teacher and for the student. In this sense, the teacher must explore Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their use in the classroom environment, while the student must have autonomy and responsibility for his own learning, ceasing to be just a receptacle of knowledge. In this way, the focus ceases to be the teacher and becomes the student, who is now at the center of the teaching and learning process. The problem approached in this research originates from the teacher's difficulty in adapting to digital-based technologies, namely those that support active methodologies and, in the student, who even realizing the demand of the 21st century still insists on participating in a context of learning conservative and traditional, based on previously structured contents. The hypotheses raised in this research are that for education to happen it needs to be offered with quality and meaning, the teacher must seek ways to make his/her class more meaningful and attractive by promoting quality in the teaching and learning process. Thus, the student will have more meaningful classes that prepare him for a professional context where he will certainly have to make complex decisions. The methodology used contemplates a state-of-the-art research, of a descriptive and exploratory nature. The expected results of the investigation point to ways for higher education, as well as help their teachers in their teaching activity, with an impact on the quality of teaching in the Brazilian educational context. This investigation led to the conclusion that teachers need to seek preparation to use ICT effectively in order to contribute to student learning, as the post-global environment combined with technologies can enhance the teaching and learning process and, consequently, the desired quality in Brazilian HEIs.Il existe de nombreux problèmes sociaux dans le contexte brésilien, et l'un d'eux est lié à la question de l'adaptation des professionnels aux contextes de travail les plus divers et, principalement, à l'éducation, à travers les exigences du monde globalisé. Le défi pour les enseignants à l'époque contemporaine est d'utiliser des pratiques innovantes qui contribuent et développent l'individu d'un point de vue personnel et social. L'approche conservatrice de l'éducation, où l'étudiant était un agent passif et un simple reproducteur de connaissances, cède la place à une approche innovante dont l'objectif est de rendre l'étudiant indépendant et protagoniste, non seulement en tant que centre du processus d'enseignement et d'apprentissage, mais aussi en tant qu'acteur, atout et protagoniste. L'objectif central de cette recherche sera d'analyser le comportement d'enseignement face à des méthodologies innovantes, ainsi que l'utilisation des technologies de l'information et de la communication dans l'enseignement supérieur pour soutenir le processus d'enseignement et d'apprentissage. La recherche est justifiée par le fait que l'environnement du 21e siècle devient de plus en plus exigeant, tant pour l'enseignant que pour l'élève. En ce sens, l'enseignant doit explorer les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) et leur utilisation dans l'environnement de la classe, tandis que l'élève doit être autonome et responsable de son propre apprentissage, cessant d'être un simple réceptacle de connaissances. De cette façon, l'accent cesse d'être l'enseignant et devient l'élève, qui est désormais au centre du processus d'enseignement et d'apprentissage. Le problème abordé dans cette recherche provient de la difficulté de l'enseignant à s'adapter aux technologies numériques, à savoir celles qui soutiennent les méthodologies actives et, chez l'élève, qui, même en réalisant la demande du 21e siècle, insiste toujours pour participer à un contexte d'apprentissage conservateur. et traditionnel, basé sur des contenus préalablement structurés. Les hypothèses soulevées dans cette recherche sont que pour que l'éducation se produise, elle doit être offerte avec qualité et sens, l'enseignant doit chercher des moyens de rendre sa classe plus significative et attrayante en promouvant la qualité dans le processus d'enseignement et d'apprentissage. Ainsi, l'élève aura des cours plus significatifs qui le préparent à un contexte professionnel où il devra certainement prendre des décisions complexes. La méthodologie utilisée envisage une recherche de pointe, de nature descriptive et exploratoire. Les résultats attendus de l'enquête indiquent des voies pour l'enseignement supérieur, ainsi que pour aider leurs enseignants dans leur activité d'enseignement, avec un impact sur la qualité de l'enseignement dans le contexte éducatif brésilien. Cette enquête a conduit à la conclusion que les enseignants doivent se préparer à utiliser efficacement les TIC afin de contribuer à l'apprentissage des élèves, car l'environnement post-mondial combiné aux technologies peut améliorer le processus d'enseignement et d'apprentissage et, par conséquent, la qualité souhaitée dans les EES brésiliens
Assessing the provisions for sustainability in economics degree programmes
No full texthttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/2806Purpose
Higher education institutions (HEIs) offer courses and programmes focusing on sustainability in economics, as courses on sustainable development (SD), which examine the economic, social and environmental dimensions of SD. This paper aims to examine sustainability integration in economics degree programmes.
Design/methodology/approach
Through an extensive literature review in Web of Science (WoS) and information search in Google, conducting to 28 relevant case studies, this paper elucidates the emphasis given to sustainability as part of economics degree programmes in HEIs.
Findings
The results suggest that, whereas the inclusion of sustainability components in this field is a growing trend, much still needs to be done to ensure that matters related to SD are part of the routine of university students studying economics.
Research limitations/implications
It is worth noting that the literature review conducted in WoS was primarily aimed at assisting in the selection of university case studies. The 28 university case studies scrutinised in this study may lack sufficient representation from numerous developing countries.
Practical implications
This study highlights challenges in integrating the SD into economics degree programmes, suggesting the need for curriculum adjustments as underscoring operational issues, acting as barriers. The inclusion of sustainability in economics programmes must navigate operational issues stemming from packed timetables and busy schedules, requiring innovative solutions.
Social implications
As far as the authors are aware, this study holds substantial importance in its emphasis on implementing sustainability within HEIs’ economics programmes, assisting in pursuing SD.
Originality/value
The novelty of this study lies in addressing sustainability with the specific economics focus programmes within the HEIs context.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
A relação entre a regulação emocional e a ansiedade numa amostra de adolescentes
No full textO presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar as correlações entre sintomas de ansiedade e estratégias de regulação emocional em adolescentes. A adolescência é uma fase caracterizada por mudanças físicas, cognitivas e psicossociais significativas, tornando-a particularmente vulnerável a problemas de saúde mental, incluindo as perturbações de ansiedade. As competências de regulação emocional são cruciais para a saúde mental, e as dificuldades de regulação emocional aumentam a vulnerabilidade à psicopatologia. Este estudo quantitativo incluiu 53 participantes com idades entre 11 e 15 anos, e os dados foram recolhidos através da Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Stress para Crianças (EADS-C-21), do Questionário de Regulação Emocional para Crianças e Adolescentes (ERQ-CA) e da Escala de Dificuldades na Regulação Emocional (EDRE). Os resultados indicam correlações significativas positivas entre dificuldades na regulação emocional e os níveis de ansiedade entre os adolescentes. Estes resultados sublinham a importância de desenvolver estratégias eficazes de regulação emocional para promover o bem-estar mental e prevenir transtornos de ansiedade nos adolescentes.The present study aims to investigate the correlations between anxiety symptoms and emotional regulation strategies in adolescents.

Reducing the carbon footprint of the textile sector: an overview of impacts and solutions
No full texthttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/9501The clothing, footwear, and household textiles sectors play a significant role, providing employment opportunities on a global scale. However, they are also associated with a considerable consumption of natural resources, leading to high levels of water pollution and emissions of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. The carbon footprint (CF) of textiles depends generally on fabric types and production processes. Natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and silk, generally have a lower CF when compared to synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon, requiring more energy and chemicals during production. In addition, fabrics manufactured through eco-friendly methods, such as closed-loop systems and sustainable production processes, have a significantly lower CF than those produced using conventional means. Accordingly, there is a perceived need for comprehensive studies that investigate the environmental and climate implications of the textile sector. Considering these concerns, a study was undertaken on the topic, encompassing a literature review and data collection so as to present an overview of the environmental impacts and CF associated with the textile sector. The results from the research show that the resource consumption associated with the textile sector, particularly its CF, demands urgent action in order to reduce its impacts. Also, actionable measures are needed so as to reduce the CF of the textile industry. These are described in the paper, along with the obstacles that need to be overcome so as not only to reduce the CF of this sector, but also to pursue the objectives outlined in the sustainable development goals.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
