Impacto do cyber mundo no mundo real: papel moderador da inteligência emocional na relação entre o cyberbullying e a performance percebida dos ábitros de futebol e futsal portugueses
Get PDFDissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida, para obtenção do grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Social e das OrganizaçõesO presente estudo teve como objetivo estudar a relação entre o Cyberbullying e a Performance Percebida em árbitros Portugueses de Futebol e Futsal. Adicionalmente, procurou também estudar-se a relação entre a Inteligência Emocional e a Performance Percebida e o papel moderador da Inteligência Emocional na relação entre o Cyberbullying e a Performance Percebida.
Este estudo contou com a participação de 398 árbitros de futebol e futsal portugueses com idades compreendidas entre os 16 anos e os 58 anos (M = 29.82, DP = 8.34), onde 350 dos participantes eram do sexo masculino e 48 participantes do sexo feminino.
Para analisar as variáveis em estudo foram utilizados três instrumentos: Para avaliar os níveis de Cyberbullying foi utilizado o Questionário de Cyberbullying – forma de comportamentos de vitimização (CCB-V) (Pinto & Cunha 2011); para avaliar os níveis de Inteligência Emocional foi utilizada a Trait Meta Mood Scale – 24 (TMMS-24) (Fernandez-Berrocal et al., 2004); por fim, para avaliar a performance percebida foi utilizado o Questionário de Perceção de Rendimento Desportivo-Versão Retrospetiva (Gomes, 2016).
Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram uma ausência de relação entre os níveis de Cyberbullying e a Performance Percebida dos árbitros (não se verificando também uma moderação pela Inteligência Emocional nesta relação), tendo, no entanto, sido observada uma relação positiva significativa entre a Inteligência Emocional e a Performance Percebida dos árbitros.The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between Cyberbullying and Perceived Performance in Portuguese football and futsal referees. Furthermore, this study also tested the relation between Emotional Intelligence and Perceived Performance as well as the role of Emotional Intelligence as a moderator of the relation between Cyberbullying and Perceived Performance.
This study counted with a total of 398 Portuguese referees of both football and futsal with ages between 16 and 58 years old (M = 29.82, DP = 8.34), with 350 being male and 48 female subjects.
Three instruments were used to assess the different variables. To evaluate the levels of Cyberbullying, the Cyberbullying Questionnaire was used, based on the behavioural patterns of victimization (CCB-V) (Pinto & Cunha 2011). The Trait Metal Mood Scale was used to evaluate the Emotional Intelligence levels. Lastly, the Perception of Sports Yield Questionnaire was used to evaluate the Perceived Performance (Gomes, 2016).
Results obtained in this study evidenced a non-significant relation between the levels of Cyberbullying and the referees’ Perceived Performance, with the role of Emotional Intelligence being non-significant as well. There was, however, a significant relation between Emotional Intelligence and the referees’ Perceived Performance

Fibropapillomatosis and the chelonid Alphaherpesvirus 5 in green turtles from West Africa
Get PDFFibropapillomatosis (FP) is a tumorigenic panzootic disease of sea turtles, most common in green
turtles (Chelonia mydas). FP is linked to the chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChAHV5) and to degraded habitats
and, though benign, large tumours can hinder vital functions, causing death. We analyse 108 green turtles,
captured in 2018 and 2019, at key foraging grounds in Guinea-Bissau and Mauritania, West Africa, for the
presence of FP, and use real-time PCR to detect ChAHV5 DNA, in 76 individuals. The prevalence of FP was
moderate; 33% in Guinea-Bissau (n = 36) and 28% in Mauritania (n = 72), and most turtles were mildly
affected, possibly due to low human impact at study locations. Juveniles had higher FP prevalence (35%,
n = 82) compared to subadults (5%, n = 21), probably because individuals acquire resistance over time.
ChAHV5 DNA was detected in 83% (n = 24) of the tumour biopsies, consistent with its role as aetiological
agent of FP and in 26% (n = 27) of the ‘normal’ skin (not showing lesions) from FP turtles. Notably, 45% of
the asymptomatic turtles were positive for ChAHV5, supporting multifactorial disease expression. We report
the first baselines of FP and ChAHV5 prevalence for West Africa green turtles, essential to assess evolution of
disease and future impacts of anthropogenic activities.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Communicative gestures in 7–12‐month infants: A phylogenetic comparative approach
No full textDifferent methodologies applied in human and non-human
primate studies limit the comparisons that can be made.
The early communicative gestures of 10 children between
7 and 12 months were analysed using a descriptive
approach usually found in non-human primate studies.
Silent-visual gestures were the most used, followed by contact
and audible gestures. The use of the different modalities
of gestures did not differ with the infants' gender or
age, unlike findings from studies on great apes. However,
signalers chose different gestural sensory modalities
according to the attentional state of the audience, similarly
to other great apes: more silent-visual gestures were used
when the visual attention of the recipient is present. Thus,
intentionality in gestural communication was not only
detected through behavioural cues but also supported by
the use of different strategies according to the attentional
state of the recipient. Importantly, this study suggests that
human infants consider the attentional state of their
partners during communication earlier in ontogeny than
previously thought.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Understanding spectator sustainable transportation intentions in international sport tourism events
Get PDFIt is vital to study spectator responses to environmental campaigns to
advance environmental sustainability initiatives. Therefore, this investigation
aimed to identify which factors influence spectator sustainable
transport intentions and perform a spectator segmentation based on
their responses. Data were collected from 355 spectators at an international
surfing event hosted in a renowned surfing destination. The
data were analysed in two stages. First, through the sport sustainability
campaign evaluation model to infer spectator sustainable transport
intentions. Second, through non-hierarchical cluster analysis, to segment
the sample based on those intentions. The results added a direct relationship
between the points of attachment and sustainable transport
intentions. Furthermore, the results highlighted the effect of constraints,
points of attachment and past sustainable behaviours as predictors of
spectator sustainable transport intentions. In addition, differences in
needs (i.e., aesthetic), attachment to the community, lack of time, lack
of access and past sustainable behaviours were found within the three
analysed clusters. Organisers of sport tourism events should develop
sustainable transport campaigns promoting the destination’s aesthetic
features, strengthening the connection between the local community
and the event spectators, and improving the availability of information
on transport services to increase spectator commitment to more sustainable
modes of transport.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric assessment of the Portuguese language version of the Eating and Appraisal due to Emotions and Stress (EADES) Questionnaire in Brazilian adults
Get PDFPurposes To develop a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Eating and Appraisal due to Emotions and Stress (EADES)
Questionnaire and estimate the psychometric properties of the EADES factorial model for young Brazilian adults and also
to assess the association between EADES factors and age, body mass index (BMI), and economic level.
Methods The cross-cultural adaptation was performed using a standardized protocol. The psychometric properties were
assessed separately for each sex. A structural model for each sex was developed to investigate the influence of age, economic
level, and BMI on the EADES factors.
Results A total of 1240 participants completed the study [65.8% female, mean age 23.91 (SD = 5.03) years]. The EADES
original factorial model did not present good psychometric properties. Then, a factorial model proposed for a Mexican sample
was tested and a different model was fitted for each sex. The results showed that younger women have lower self-efficacy
and self-confidence and poorer assessment of resources and coping skills. Women with a higher economic level have lower
self-efficacy. Higher BMI was associated with lower self-efficacy and self-confidence in both sexes. Younger men have lower
self-efficacy and poorer assessment of resources and coping skills.
Conclusions The Brazilian Portuguese version of the EADES provided valid and reliable data after refinement, and a different
model was fitted for each sex. Sex, age, BMI, and economic level were significantly associated with the EADES factors.

Operationalizing intentionality in primate communication: Social and ecological considerations
Get PDFAn intentional transfer of information is central to human communication. When
comparing nonhuman primate communication systems to language, a critical challenge
is to determine whether a signal is used in intentional, goal-oriented ways. As it is not
possible to directly observe psychological states in any species, comparative researchers
have inferred intentionality via behavioral markers derived from studies on
prelinguistic human children. Recent efforts to increase consistency in nonhuman
primate communication studies undervalue the effect of possible sources of bias: some
behavioral markers are not generalizable across certain signal types (gestures, vocalizations,
and facial expressions), contexts, settings, and species. Despite laudable
attempts to operationalize first-order intentionality across signal types, a true “multimodal”
approach requires integration across their sensory components (visual-silent,
contact, audible), as a signal from a certain type can comprise more than one sensory
component. Here we discuss how the study of intentional communication in nonlinguistic
systems is hampered by issues of reliability, validity, consistency, and generalizability.
We then highlight future research avenues that may help to understand the use
of goal-oriented communication by opting, whenever possible, for reliable, valid, and
consistent behavioral markers, but also taking into account sampling biases and
integrating detailed observations of intraspecific communicative interactions.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Tracking data and the conservation of the high seas: Opportunities and challenges
Get PDF1. Biologging technology is rapidly advancing—scientists
are obtaining data on movement
and behaviour for a range of species, more accurately than ever before. With
this information, it is possible to understand more about important areas and their
connections across the open ocean including the high seas, beyond national jurisdictions.
But an absence of a global governance framework has so far hindered a
coordinated approach to conservation action on the high seas.
2. We showcase a candidate high seas MPA in the Northeast Atlantic identified primarily
from seabird tracking data and being taken forward under a regional process:
the North Atlantic Current and Evlanov Seamount (NACES) MPA, under the
OSPAR Commission. It provides a unique case study to learn about the intricacies
of implementation when applying tracking information for conservation. From
this, we identify the facilitating conditions and challenges faced from identification
to designation and highlight actionable opportunities for future area-based
management of the high seas that will be made possible under a new agreement.
3. Policy implications. The North Atlantic Current and Evlanov Seamount (NACES)
MPA demonstrates the power of translating tracking data into usable geospatial
knowledge to inform conservation and policy and provides an exemplar for a data-driven
approach to high seas conservation that can become a reality under the
forthcoming governance framework (under the United Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity
of areas beyond national jurisdiction (known as the BBNJ Agreement)). This
new agreement presents a unique conservation opportunity both for the application
of tracking data to conservation outcomes and for the protection of migratory
species.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

sistematización de sus ideas permite cuestionar si estarán preparados para estas nuevas experiencias en
el campo de la ciencia y si tendrán las habilidades necesarias para garantizar su autonomía en la identificación de dónde publicar, cómo publicar, cómo gestionar
los datos de investigación, cómo difundir los resultados
de la investigación, cómo y por qué elegir los canales
formales e informales de la ciencia, cómo utilizar las
tecnologías en beneficio de su visibilidad y, finalmente,
cómo asegurar la continuidad de su producción científica. El nuevo lenguaje utilizado también plantea muchas dificultades para los investigadores. Por ello, la
creación de programas de formación para investigadores es un objetivo estratégico en los procesos de implementación de este paradigma de la ciencia.

Preliminary study on the impact of Open Science in the
scientific cycle, from the beginning of the research to
its publication, seeking to know, describe and explain
the perceptions of a group of researchers regarding the
Open Science ecosystem. A qualitative methodology
was used, through a semi-structured interview. The results identify the researchers' doubts regarding the fulfilment of Open Science's premises. The systematization of their ideas allows us to question if they are prepared for these new experiences in the field of science
and if they have the skills to ensure their autonomy to
identify where to publish, how to publish, how to manage scientific data, how to disseminate research results, how and why to choose formal and informal
channels of science, how to use technologies for the
benefit of their visibility and, finally, how to ensure the
perennity of their scientific production. Also, the new
language used in Open Science raises many difficulties for researchers. Creating training programs for researchers is a strategic goal for the implementation
process of this science paradigm.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita no Pré-escolar : Contributo dos educadores para a aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita
No full textRelatório da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada apresentada no ISPA – Instituto
Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre em Educação Préescolar,A leitura é uma competência essencial para o desenvolvimento integral do
indivíduo e um instrumento fundamental para o exercício de uma cidadania plena, na
sociedade. Por isso, desenvolver esta competência precocemente é prover a criança de
meios que lhe permitem um percurso académico de sucesso e uma vida futura autónoma
e capacitada. Com este trabalho, pretendemos demonstrar os benefícios da introdução
precoce da leitura e da escrita em contexto pré-escolar. Dinamizámos em sala atividades
simples de abordagem destas competências que, de caráter lúdico-pedagógico, que
envolveu educadores, auxiliares, crianças e famílias, com a finalidade de promover o
contacto com o livro e desenvolver a expressão e a criatividade. A atividade partiu de um
exercício de leitura e culminou na realização de um livro realizado pelas crianças. O
jardim de infância, como base de toda a escolaridade, tem a função de fomentar o contacto
com o livro e desenvolver as competências linguísticas e cognitivas da criança. O projeto
aqui apresentado, “Ler é Ganhar Asas para o Mundo”, tem por base uma atividade
simples, mas significativa que teve como objetivo principal a criação de pequenos grandes
leitores, como forma de desenvolver competências essências, sem esquecer o aspeto
lúdico-pedagógico.Reading is an essential skill for the integral development of the individual and a
fundamental instrument for the exercise of full citizenship in society. Therefore,
developing this skill early on is to provide the child with the means for a successful
academic career and an autonomous and empowered future life. With this work, we intend
to demonstrate the benefits of the early introduction of reading and writing in a preschool
context. We organized simple activities in the classroom to approach these skills, of a
playful-pedagogical nature, which involved educators, assistants, children and families,
with the aim of promoting contact with books and developing expression and creativity.
The activity started with a reading exercise and culminated in the production of a book
