Phenolic signatures of Portuguese olive cultivars with high nutritional relevance
Get PDFThe olive fruit is recognized for being a significant source of phenolic compounds, including
hydroxytyrosol (H-tyr), tyrosol (Tyr), oleuropein (Ole), and verbascoside (Verb). The
maturity index (MI) significantly influences the phenolic profile, which is a cultivar-specific
trait. A study was conducted to assess the evolution of the phenolic profile in seven
olive cultivars during ripening: ‘Galega vulgar’ (Gv), ‘Azeiteira’ (Az), ‘Cobrançosa’ (Cob),
‘Picual’ (Pic), ‘Carrasquenha’ (Car), ‘Redondil’ (Red), and ‘Arbequina’ (Arb). The results
indicate a declining trend in total phenolic compounds (TPC) across all cultivars, with Cob
and Car exhibiting the highest values, over 60 g GAE kg−1 at T1 and above 30 g GAE kg−1
at T7, respectively. In Ole quantitation, Red demonstrated the highest values, recording
39 g kg−1
in T1 and 15 g kg−1 at T7, with per olive fruit unit measurements ranging from
19.7 mg at T1 to 22.7 mg at T7. These findings underscore olive fruit as an exceptional
source of bioactive compounds and their advantageous health-promoting effects, which
might be utilized as a functional food source, validating the unique phenolic profiles of
each cultivar in relation to ripenin

No full textAVONDANO XXI é um projeto de divulgação cultural sobre o património musical português do século XVIII e a forma como pode ser valorizado no século XXI. Trata-se de uma tournée de dez concertos comentados baseados na primeira edição crítica das nove sonatas para tecla de Pedro António Avondano (1714?-1782), realizados em espaços escolares e culturais de Portugal. O 9º concerto inclui a interpretação ao cravo das Sonatas IV, VI, VII e IX e comentários sobre estas obras. O concerto dá a conhecer as obras para tecla deste compositor português, as práticas de composição do século XVIII e o modo como estas obras são recuperadas e editadas nos nossos dias, para ganhar uma nova vida nos espaços escolares e culturais do século XXI. / AVONDANO XXI is a cultural outreach project about the Portuguese musical heritage of the 18th century and how it can be valued in the 21st century. It consists of a tour of ten lecture recitals based on the first critical edition of the nine keyboard sonatas by Pedro António Avondano (1714?–1782), held in schools and cultural venues in Portugal. The ninth concert includes harpsichord performances of Sonatas IV, VI, VII and IX, along with commentary on these works. The concert introduces the keyboard works of this Portuguese composer, the compositional practices of the 18th century, and how these works are being recovered and edited today to gain a new life in 21st-century schools and cultural spaces.República Portuguesa - Cultura | Direção-Geral das Artes; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologi
European stranding networks as a tool for monitoring marine mammal populations (Part I): towards optimising the functioning of networks
Get PDFThe study of stranded animals is a valuable aid to monitoring marine mammals globally. However, the utility of strandings data depends on their quality and representativeness, which is affected by various biological, physical, social and economic factors. An analysis of how stranding networks work could help understand limitations in the data collected and facilitate correcting for or even eliminating them. In 2021, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea’s Working Group on Marine Mammal Ecology carried out an expert consultation using a questionnaire to provide insight into the contribution of European stranding networks as a monitoring tool in European countries with Northeast Atlantic and adjacent coasts (hence also including some networks operating along the Mediterranean coast). A key aim was to identify ways to improve data on mortality of marine mammals due to fishery bycatch. The present paper is the first of a two-part series based on the responses to the questionnaire by 45 organisations from 19 countries, and focuses on characterising the activities and capacities of the stranding networks surveyed, identifying differences within and between countries, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and providing recommendations to enhance the value and credibility of the information collected. The second paper will focus on the information specifically related to mortality due to fishery bycatch. Stranding networks provide extensive spatio-temporal coverage of European coastlines, but their activities may be constrained by limited resources as well as limitations imposed by the stranding process. There is a need for better coordination and standardisation of the collection and analysis of data and samples and increased spatial coverage to fill gaps. To improve data quality, in particular to support assessment of impacts of threats such as bycatch, more necropsies and associated sample analysis are needed. It would also be advantageous to collect more information from less fresh animals, record search effort, and give greater attention to pinnipeds and non-marine mammal taxa. We also highlight the need to make information available and the potential value of a common database. Streamlining the reporting of results at the European level and providing systematic funding to stranding networks in accordance with their needs are necessary steps to optimise their role as a tool for the long-term monitoring of marine mammals and other marine megafauna in Europe
Depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation and positive ideation: The mediation effect of unbearable psychache
No full textObjective: The aim of the present study is to test the relationship
between depressive symptoms and high levels of suicidal ideation,
as well as low levels of positive ideation (protective ideation
against more severe suicidal behaviors). Additionally, the study
aims to test the mediating effect of psychache and unbearable
psychache.
Methods: A sample of 334 young adults, university students
from the University of Évora, mostly female (79.6%), aged
between 18 and 25 years (M = 20.25; SD = 1.99), mostly undergraduate
students (N = 247; 74%), and non-working students
(N = 285; 85.3%), participated in the. Participants responded to an
online research protocol via the LimeSurvey platform at the end of
2022. Several measures were used: the Depression Anxiety Stress
Scales, Psychahce Scale and Positive and Negative suicide Ideation
Inventory. A mediation model was tested by path analysis using
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), introducing depressive
symptoms as an exogenous independent variable, along with
demographic variables that correlated with suicidal ideation or
positive ideation as exogenous covariates. The variables psychache
and unbearable psychache were included as mediating variables,
and suicidal ideation and positive ideation as endogenous
dependent variables.
Results: The results show a partial mediating effect of the variable
unbearable psychache in the relationship between depressive
symptoms and both positive ideation and suicidal ideation. The
model explains 62% of the variance in positive ideation and 51%
of the variance in suicidal ideation.
Conclusions: The variable unbearable psychache may help
explaining why the presence of depressive symptoms contributes
to higher levels of suicidal ideation and, at the same time, lower
levels of positive ideation. According to the results, the presence
of depressive symptoms increases the experience of unbearable
psychache, which in turn leads to higher levels of suicidal ideation
and lower levels of protective ideation against more severe suicidal
behaviors

The present report, entitled “The space as a promoter of learning with the participation and involvement of children.”, results from the Supervised Teaching Practice carried out in Pre-school Education and the 1st Cycle of Basic Education, within the scope of the master’s degree in Pre-school and Primary Education at the University of Évora. The research focuses on this theme, with the main objective being to “Promote children’s participation and involvement by valuing space.”
The methodology adopted followed the principles of action–research–training, allowing a constant articulation between theory, practice, and reflection. Data collection involved various instruments, namely field notes, weekly reflections, cooperative intervention plans with feedback, conversations with the children and the cooperating educator/teacher, as well as photographic and audio records.
This document is divided into two parts – the theoretical–conceptual framework and the research conducted within the supervised teaching practice in Pre-school and Primary Education contexts. In the first part, I present the conceptual foundations that supported my research. In the second part, I present the empirical component of the study, describing the pedagogical experiences carried out in both contexts (Pre-school and 1st Cycle) and interpreting them based on the research objectives. In the final considerations, I highlight how the experience in the Supervised Teaching Practices contributed to my professional development. Furthermore, the research reinforced the importance of an educational practice centered on listening, on children’s active participation, and on the creation of environments that promote meaningful learning
Effects of an exercise program with augmented reality on functional fitness and physical activity of community-dwelling older adults
Get PDFBackground: This study aims to investigate the effects of a multimodal program using augmented reality on the functional fitness and physical activity of older adults living in the community.
Method: Seventy-eight older adults living in the community participated in this study. Participants were divided into three groups: a control group that maintained their usual activities, and two experimental groups, one with multimodal training (EG1) and the other with multimodal training combined with augmented reality (EG2). Participants were assessed at baseline and post-intervention, after 12 weeks. Functional fitness was assessed using the Rikli and Jones Senior Fitness Test, handgrip strength, the functional reach test, and the Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale. Physical activity was measured using accelerometry.
Results: In EG1, lower limb flexibility, agility, cardiorespiratory fitness, and balance improved significantly between baseline and the 12-week outcome (p ≤ 0.001 for all). In EG2, improvements were observed in upper and lower limb strength, lower limb flexibility, agility, cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength, and balance (p < 0.05 for all). Sedentary behavior increased in EG1 after the intervention. The clinical effect sizes of the interventions were large for balance (ES = 1.19) in EG1 and for upper limb strength (ES = 1.24) in EG2, and medium for cardiorespiratory fitness (ES = 0.74), agility (ES = 0.50), and lower limb flexibility (ES = 0.65) in EG1, and lower limb strength (ES = 0.61) and cardiorespiratory fitness (ES = 0.79) in EG2.
Conclusion: Both intervention programs led to improvements in several functional domains. However, the multimodal training combined with augmented reality program showed improvements across more domains, resulting in greater changes. Physical activity did not show significant improvements
