A jurisprudência portuguesa dos tribunais superiores sobre exoneração do passivo restante (Breves notas sobre a admissão da exoneração e a cessão de rendimentos em particular)
No full textDesde 2004 que o Código da Insolvência e Recuperação de Empresas apresenta dois modelos insolvenciais para o tratamento da insolvência de pessoas singulares: por um lado, o modelo reeducativo, encarnado no plano de pagamentos; por outro o fresh start, consagrado com a exoneração do passivo restante. Esta última solução tem sido a opção da esmagadora maioria das pessoas singulares insolventes que, desde 2011, superam o número de processos de pessoas coletivas. Todavia, o sistema português tem sido criticado, não só pelo Memorando da Troika assinado entre o Estado Português, o BCE, a Comissão Europeia e o FMI, como pela própria doutrina e jurisprudência, pondo em evidência a necessidade de alteração do regime relativo às pessoas singulares. Aliás, tal exigência constava do referido Memorando, sem que o Governo português tenha adotado quaisquer medidas. Por outro lado, a recomendação da UE de março de 2014, relativa à recuperação e à insolvência, refere também a necessidade de redução do limite temporal de insolvências de pessoas singulares, nomeadamente no que concerne aos períodos de cessão dos rendimentos aos credores.
Nesta sede, verificamos que o regime português da insolvência, que conta já com mais de uma década de vigência, continua a apresentar fragilidades a nível da aplicação das normas, especialmente em dois pontos particulares – por um lado, a interpretação dos requisitos de acesso, que foi inicialmente feita de forma muito rígida pelos tribunais de 1.ª instância, impedindo o acesso à exoneração e, por outro, a concessão dos rendimentos necessários durante o período de cessão aos credores que, normalmente, desvaloriza as verdadeiras necessidades dos insolventes, dando um caráter punitivo, que o legislador não pretendeu atribuir, à insolvência. Este texto visa, pois, analisar brevemente a evolução jurisprudencial dos tribunais superiores na última década.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network for freshwater fish conservation in a Mediterranean region
No full textProtected areas (PAs) are the cornerstones of global biodiversity conservation efforts, but to fulfil this role they must be effective at conserving both habitat and species. Among protected taxa, freshwater fish are exposed to multiple disturbances and are considered one of the most endangered. The Natura 2000 reserves network was established with the aim of preserving biodiversity across Europe, but few assessments have been made on its effectiveness on the conservation of freshwater fish species. We tested the hypothesis that fish community is exposed to less anthropogenic pressures within the Natura 2000 sites than outside, hosting a higher number of native species and maintain lower number of non-native species. We tested these hypotheses considering 3,777 sampling sites, found across the entire Italian territory. Results showed that PAs did not guarantee less anthropogenic impacts and higher fish species richness than outside PAs, suggesting that PAs are not a panacea for anthropogenic pressures and safeguarding fish diversity. Nevertheless, more caution should be applied to the management measures and the design of new PAs due to the limitations of the protection of a single stretch within a whole river ecosystem. Moreover, the impossibility to operate any management of invasive fish species on the broad scale of a whole river basin is likely the most limiting factor to fish biodiversity conservation in Italy. Finally, it is also necessary to extend the analysis to other basins and Natura 2000 sites in Europe

Weekly Variations of Well-Being and Interactions with Training and Match Intensities: A Descriptive Case Study in Youth Male Soccer Players
No full textThe aim of this study was two-fold: (i) analyze the weekly variations of well-being and training/match intensity measures in youth soccer players, and (ii) test relations between well-being and training intensity outcomes. The study followed a descriptive case study design. Twenty-seven under-17 male soccer players were monitored for well-being and training intensity parameters over seventeen consecutive weeks. An adjusted version of the Hooper questionnaire was used to monitor the perceptive sleep quality, readiness, fatigue, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) early in the morning. The CR-10 Borg’s scale was also used for monitoring the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of players after training sessions. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was executed to test the between-week variations of both well-being and training intensity outcomes. Moreover, Pearson product moment correlation was used to test the relations between well-being and training intensity outcomes. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant differences between weeks in the sleep quality (F = 0.422; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.140), readiness (F = 0.8.734; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.251), fatigue (F = 4.484; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.147), DOMS (F = 3.775; p = 0.001; ηp2 = 0.127), RPE (F = 7.301; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.219), and session-RPE (F = 17.708; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.405). Correlations between well-being and training intensity outcomes in the same week revealed moderate correlations between fatigue and session-RPE (r = 0.325). As conclusions, it was found that well-being and training intensity fluctuates over the season, while well-being outcomes seems to be related with training intensity, although with a small magnitude
Does the Level of Training Interfere with the Sustainability of Static and Dynamic Strength in Paralympic Powerlifting Athletes?
No full textBackground: Paralympic powerlifting (PP) presents adaptations that the training tends to provide, mainly concerning the mechanical variables. Objective: Our aim was to analyze mechanical, dynamic and static indicators, at different intensities, on the performance of paralympic powerlifting athletes. Methods: 23 athletes of PP, 11 national level (NL) and 12 regional level (RL) performed dynamic and static tests over a comprehensive range of loads. The study evaluated regional and national level athletes and the influence on the training level on the performance of strength. The study was carried out in four weeks, with the first week to familiarize with the one repetition maximum (1RM), day 1, and there was a 72-h rest and familiarization with dynamic and static tests carried out day 2. In week 2, the 1RM tests were performed (day 1 and 72 h later), and the static tests were performed with a distance of 15 cm from the bar to the chest, with the tests of maximum isometric strength, time to maximum isometric strength, rate of force development (RFD), impulse, variability and fatigue index (IF) taking place on day 2. In weeks three and four dynamic tests were performed, including means propulsive velocity, maximum velocity, power and prediction of one maximum repeat. Results: Differences were found, with better results than for RL in relation to NL in MVP (45%, 55%, and 75% 1RM), in VMax (50%, 55%, 75% and 95% 1RM). In power, the NL had better results (40%, 45%, 50%, 60% and 95% 1RM). Conclusion: RL athletes tend to present better results with regard to velocity, however in power, NL athletes tend to present better performances
The Relationship between Physical Activity, Physical Exercise, and Human Gut Microbiota in Healthy and Unhealthy Subjects: A Systematic Review
No full textSeveral studies have been conducted to find at least an association between physical activity (PA)/ physical exercise (PE) and the possibility to modulate the gut microbiome (GM). However, the specific effects produced on the human GM by different types of PA/PE, different training modalities, and their age-related effects are not yet fully understood. Therefore, this systematic review aims to evaluate and summarize the current scientific evidence investigating the bi-directional relationship between PA/PE and the human GM, with a specific focus on the different types/variables of PA/PE and age-related effects, in healthy and unhealthy people. A systematic search was conducted across four databases (Web of Science, Medline (PubMed), Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library). Information was extracted using the populations, exposure, intervention, comparison, outcomes (PICOS) format. The Oxford Quality Scoring System Scale, the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool, and the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies were used as a qualitative measure of the review. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (code: CRD42022302725). The following data items were extracted: author, year of publication, study design, number and age of participants, type of PA/PE carried out, protocol/workload and diet assessment, duration of intervention, measurement tools used, and main outcomes. Two team authors reviewed 694 abstracts for inclusion and at the end of the screening process, only 76 full texts were analyzed. Lastly, only 25 research articles met the eligibility criteria. The synthesis of these findings suggests that GM diversity is associated with aerobic exercise contrary to resistance training; abundance of Prevotella genus seems to be correlated with training duration; no significant change in GM richness and diversity are detected when exercising according to the minimum dose recommended by the World Health Organizations; intense and prolonged PE can induce a higher abundance of pro-inflammatory bacteria; PA does not lead to significant GM α/β-diversity in elderly people (60+ years). The heterogeneity of the training parameters used in the studies, diet control, and different sequencing methods are the main confounders. Thus, this systematic review can provide an in-depth overview of the relationship between PA/PE and the human intestinal microbiota and, at the same time, provide indications from the athletic and health perspective

Problemas posturais ao piano - consciencialização da utilização do corpo na prática instrumental
No full textTocar piano a nível profissional implica investir longas horas de estudo, o que
poderá condicionar a qualidade do desempenho musical dos profissionais, ou até mesmo
impossibilitar a prática instrumental, caso não sejam implementadas práticas adequadas
para uma eficaz prevenção de lesões, incluindo desde logo uma postura correta ao piano.
Neste prisma, a postura corporal assume um papel preponderante na produtividade e
capacidade técnico-interpretativa do pianista.
Neste contexto, o presente documento apresenta um estudo qualitativo
esquematizado em duas secções. A primeira seção diz respeito ao Relatório de Estágio,
realizado no Conservatório Regional de Évora – “Eborae Mvsica”, no âmbito da
disciplina de Prática de Ensino Supervisionada no Ensino Vocacional de Música, sob
orientação da Professora Doutora Ana Telles e supervisão dos orientadores cooperantes
Ana Filipa Luz e Filipe Marques. Posteriormente, o enfoque da investigação incide sobre
os problemas posturais ao piano, tendo por objetivo a promoção da consciencialização,
por parte dos alunos, da utilização do corpo na prática instrumental.
Adicionalmente, este projeto propõe a criação de um corpus de exercícios de
aquecimento e alongamento, de maneira que os alunos possam adquirir ferramentas que
permitam controlar e/ou eliminar hábitos incorretos, ao nível da postura, tornando-os
conscientes do seu corpo; Postural problems while playing piano - body awareness during the
musical instrument play
Abstract:
Playing piano professionally involves long hours of study, which may affect the
quality of the musical performance, and even compromise the action of playing piano, if
preventive practices for an efficient prevention of repetitive strain injuries, including the
development of a correct posture at the piano, are not in place. From this standpoint, body
posture plays an important role in the productivity and technical-interpretive capacity of
the pianist.
This study presents a qualitative study divided in two parts. The first concerns the
Internship Report, held at the Conservatório Regional de Évora - "Eborae Mvsica", as
part of the Supervised Teaching Practice in Vocational Music Teaching, under the
guidance of Professor Ana Telles and supervision of the cooperative supervisors Ana
Filipa Luz and Filipe Marques. Subsequently, the research focuses on identifying postural
problems at the piano, aiming to promote student awareness during piano use.
Furthermore, this project proposes a collection of warm-up and stretching
exercises, that students can use to control and/or eliminate bad postural habits and gain
awareness of their body during piano use
Body Composition Interactions with Physical Fitness: A Cross-Sectional Study in Youth Soccer Players
No full textThis study aimed to: (i) analyze fat mass and physical fitness variations among age-groups and playing positions, and (ii) explore the relationship between fat mass and physical fitness in youth male soccer players. A total of 66 players from under-16, under-17, and under-19 were tested. Body mass, skinfolds, countermovement jump (CMJ), single-leg triple hop jump (SLTH), bilateral triple hop jump (BTH), and yo-yo intermittent recovery Level 2 (YYIR-2) were assessed. A two- and one-way ANOVA were conducted, and the effect size was measured. Interactions were found in skin folds and fat mass. The under-19 group was taller, heavier, with a greater BMI and muscle mass than the under-16 group. They also exceeded the under-16 and under-17 in SLTH, BTH, and YYIRT-2. The under-17 group jumped higher and longer than under-16 group. Goalkeepers were taller and heavier than the midfielders. Central defenders were taller and had more muscle mass than midfielders and were heavier than the midfielders and wingers. The wingers jumped higher than the midfielders and showed better YYIRT-2. BMI was small correlated with YYIRT-2 and moderately with CMJ. Fat mass had a moderate negative correlation with CMJ and YYIRT-2. Muscle mass largely correlated with CMJ, UTH, very large with BTH and moderate with YYIRT-2. Summarily, with increasing age, better performances and body compositions were registered. Muscle mass better influences performance than body fat. Body composition can distinguish players positions
