Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária, na área científica de Clínica Os fármacos antineoplásicos estão associados a diversos efeitos adversos e nocivos para a saúde, por este motivo, os médicos veterinários responsáveis pela sua preparação e administração apresentam um perigo acrescido de sofrer essas consequências. Assim, as regras para o uso seguro destes fármacos e equipamentos de proteção individual têm um papel importante para reduzir ou mesmo evitar esse risco. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento dos médicos veterinários em Portugal acerca dos riscos ocupacionais associados à manipulação dos fármacos antineoplásicos e conhecer as práticas por eles utilizadas nessa mesma manipulação. Para tal foi elaborado um questionário que foi disponibilizado por via digital. Foram também recolhidos dados acerca do modo como os profissionais lidam com os pacientes oncológicos e a comunicação dos riscos e orientações para os detentores destes animais. Os dados obtidos no questionário revelaram que 76% dos médicos veterinários tinham menos de 40 anos de idade. A maioria (70,7%) não tem formação específica relacionada com os riscos inerentes ao uso dos fármacos antineoplásicos e mais de metade (56,9%) revelaram que no seu local de trabalho qualquer profissional que exerce funções relacionadas com a manipulação destes fármacos também não recebe essa formação. Verificou-se que a frequência da realização dos procedimentos de quimioterapia em cada CAMV é baixa, mas ainda assim, 20,7% revelaram que no seu local de trabalho são realizados procedimentos de quimioterapia várias vezes por semana e 22,4% 1 vez por semana, havendo assim exposição aos fármacos antineoplásicos e ao risco ocupacional que daí decorre. Em relação à utilização de equipamentos de proteção individual, apenas 32% revelaram utilizar luvas e máscara durante a manipulação destes fármacos, sendo o grau de proteção de maioria dos médicos veterinários baixo. Os resultados agora apresentados evidenciam a necessidade de investimento na formação e sensibilização dos médicos veterinários e restantes trabalhadores dos CAMV relativamente ao uso seguro dos fármacos antineoplásicos e à consequente diminuição do risco ocupacional que dai decorre. ABSTRACT - Occupational health in veterinary medicine: risks and their mitigation in the use of antineoplastic drugs in clinical practice - Antineoplastic drugs are associated with several adverse and harmful effects to health, so veterinarians responsible for their preparation and administration are at increased risk of suffering these consequences. Therefore, the rules for the safe use of these drugs and personal protective equipment play an important role in reducing or even preventing this risk. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of veterinarian doctors in Portugal about the hazards associated with the handling of antineoplastic drugs and to know the practices the practices used by them in this same handling. To this end, a survey was prepared and made available digitally. Data were also collected about the way professionals deal with cancer patients and the communication of risks and guidance for the tutors of these animals. The data obtained in the survey revealed that 76% of the participants were under 40 years of age. The majority (70.7%) do not have specific training related to the inherent risks of the use of antineoplastic drugs and more than half (56.9%) revealed that in their workplace any professional who performs functions related to the manipulation of these drugs also does not receive any training. It was found that the frequency of chemotherapy procedures in each clinical center is low, but even so, 20.7% of the participants revealed that chemotherapy procedures are performed in their workplace several times a week and 22.4% once a week, thus resulting in exposure to antineoplastic drugs and the resulting occupational risk. Regarding the use of personal protective equipment, 32% revealed that they only used gloves and a mask when handling these drugs, with the degree of protection of most respondents being low. The results now presented show the need to invest in training and raising awareness among veterinarian doctors and other veterinarian workers regarding the safe use of anticancer drugs and the consequent reduction in occupational risk that results from this N/A

Poverty, inequality, lacking access to rights are all a reality in the chabolas and suburbia areas in Brazil, and they all directly affect the quality of life in these territories where, in spite of the situation, smaller initiatives for a more sustainable future do exist. This investigation discusses what we call ‘social crossroads of innovation’ (Rufino 2019), which are interventions that take place in the tears of the system and which work as a manner of transgression/objection by established institutions. These are led by a social entrepreneur who works “in a Brazilian fashion”— also known as virador (Souza Neto 2003) —whose objection can be identified by looking at their new manners to make, know, frame and organize everything (Haxeltine et al. 2016) as presented in 3 cases: Barkus, a social company for financial education for both youth and adults; G10, a network of the 10 chabolas with the most purchasing power in Brazil; and Olabi, a space for technology democratization for social transformation. With these as starting point, we have identified 7 lessons on the key characteristics of this type of social innovation. To conclude, we argue that social crossroads of innovation in Brasil are engines for social transformation which help pave the way for alternate future models focused on sustainable development at the local level, as well as quality of life improvements for vulnerable populations. Pobreza, desigualdad, falta de acceso a derechos son realidad en las chabolas y periferias brasileñas e impactan directamente a la calidad de vida de estos territorios en los que se desarrollan también pequeñas iniciativas que vislumbran un futuro más sostenible. Este trabajo de investigación discute lo que se conoce como encrucijadas sociales de innovación (Rufino 2019), que son intervenciones hechas en las roturas del sistema y que funcionan como una forma de transgresión/impugnación de las instituciones ya establecidas. Son desarrolladas por un emprendedor social “a la brasileña” —o virador (Souza Neto 2003)— cuya impugnación puede ser vista a partir de sus nuevas formas de hacer, conocer, encuadrar y organizar (Haxeltine et al. 2016), presentadas en 3 casos: Barkus, negocio social de educación financiera para jóvenes y adultos; G10, red de las 10 chabolas de mayor poder de compra en el Brasil, y Olabi, espacio de democratización de tecnologías para transformación social. A partir de ahí, se identifican 7 lecciones sobre las características clave de este tipo de innovación social. En conclusión, se determina que las encrucijadas sociales de innovación de Brasil son motores para la transformación social, las que abren camino a modelos alternativos de futuro con enfoque en el desarrollo local sostenible y en la mejoría de la calidad de vida de las poblaciones vulnerables. Pobreza, desigualdade e falta de acesso à direitos são realidade nas favelas e periferias brasileiras e impactam diretamente a qualidade de vida destes territórios que têm também pequenas iniciativas que vislumbram um futuro mais sustentável. Este trabalho discute o que chamamos de inovações sociais de encruzilhada (Rufino 2019), invenções feitas nas brechas do sistema e funcionam como uma forma de transgressão/contestação das instituições já estabelecidas. São desenvolvidas por um empreendedor social “`a brasileira” —o virador (Souza Neto 2003)— cuja transgressão pode ser vista a partir de suas novasformas de fazer, conhecer, enquadrar e organizar (Haxeltine et al. 2016), trazidas em 3 casos: a Barkus, negócio social de educação financeira para jovens e adultos; o G10, sede das 10 favelas de maior poder de compra no Brasil, e o Olabi, espaço de democratização de tecnologias para transformação social. A partir daí, identificamos 7 lições sobre as características chave deste tipo de inovação social. Como conclusão, defendemos que as inovações sociais de encruzilhada do Brasil são motores para mudança social, abrindo caminhos para modelos alternativos de futuros com foco no desenvolvimento local sustentável e na melhoria da qualidade de vida das populações vulneráveis.

This research is an international study to evaluate the mobilisation and practice of sustainable consumption in global South contexts through an examination of systems of food provision and regulation, everyday consumer habits, trends and fashions, and the potential of digital technologies influencing food consumption. It draws on comparative case study research in Brazil, China, and South Africa. The three countries offer case studies in Guangzhou, Johannesburg and Rio do Janeiro where there is robust evidence of growing and strong middle classes, through which it is possible to explore the different ways in which sustainable consumption is defined, performed, practised and mobilised in global South countries. They also offer comparisons of the potential of different drivers of sustainability, with contrasting institutional political structures, forms of non-governmental action, foodscapes and provisioning mechanisms. The data collection includes transcript data from food consumers and food system actors and survey data from consumers.

The Arctic is rapidly transforming into a navigable ocean because of global warming reducing the extent of sea ice. As a consequence, a large percentage of the sailing distance between Europe and Asia could be saved by alternatively sailing through the Arctic rather than the traditional route via the Suez Canal. However, taking Arctic routes is fraught with risks and additional costs due to sea ice. The major purpose of this study is to develop a voyage planning tool to improve the safety and fuel efficiency of commercial ships sailing between Europe and Asia via the Arctic, which is achieved by voyage optimization through frequently updated meteorological, oceanographic and ice forecasting. This tool is characterized by route planning for the entire voyage, inclusive of the Arctic passage and the open water legs in Asia and Europe. A single-objective optimization for minimizing fuel consumption under various environmental and operational conditions is established. The resistance model accounts for both ice thickness and ice concentration of unconsolidated Arctic sea ice in the summer. Ice related risks defined in the Polar Operational Limit Assessment Risk Indexing System (POLARIS) are dealt as constraint. Other constraints such as avoidance of land and shallow water are also included. These functions are demonstrated by the two case study vessels sailing between Rotterdam and Shanghai via both the Arctic and the traditional routes.

The paper presents a decision-support tool for maritime operations in Arctic seas. This tool targets at improving the safety and fuel efficiency of existing and future cargo vessels that are designed to operate in Arctic and in open water conditions. It is achieved by smart voyage planning using meteorological, oceanographic and ice forecasting. A single-objective optimization for minimizing the fuel consumption in various scenarios of Arctic transits is established, with the transit time and the safety as the two major constraints. The tool is implemented in an in-house Matlab code, which is based on Dijkstra’s algorithm, a grid-based approach that aims at finding the most cost-efficient path connecting any chosen nodes in a given grid. Results from case studies along the Northern Sea Route indicate that the tool generates appropriate routes in ice-infested Arctic waters. The fuel consumption accounting for ice-induced extra resistance is optimized and the risk of collision with icebergs has been considered.

Este trabalho é fruto de uma análise intensiva do fenómeno da violência contra as mulheres e surge como forma de prevenção e construção de vários indicadores de risco que possibilitam detetar estas situações. O fenómeno estudado remete para uma desigualdade de género, historicamente construído e culturalmente enraizado na sociedade portuguesa. Sendo um conceito de grande complexidade, não deve ser analisado de uma forma ligeira sobretudo devido à natureza dos intervenientes, sejam eles vítimas ou agressores. Sendo assim, revela-se de extrema importância perceber este fenómeno que eventualmente se poderá considerar como um fator impositivo na vida do sujeito ao longo dos anos, sujeito a variantes e a alterações comportamentais que podem ser detetadas com o decorrer do tempo. As duas questões consideradas pertinentes para aprofundar e problematizar este estudo foram:  Como é que os técnicos de vítimas de crime intervêm numa situação em que a vítima corre perigo por parte do agressor?  Qual o impacto criado na vida das vítimas através do trabalho dos técnicos? Tendo em consideração os objetivos propostos para a elaboração do trabalho, realizamos o estágio no Gabinete de Apoio À Vitima em Faro onde procedemos, in loco, à recolha das perceções e à análise que as vítimas de violência doméstica fazem relativamente ao trabalho e ao impacto que os técnicos têm na sua vida. Esta análise foi baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas a técnicos e a beneficiárias dos serviços promovidos pelo gabinete, tendo em conta o vocabulário utilizado, diversas categorias ou aspetos sobre este fenómeno de maneira a reconhecer e a compreender a violência doméstica exercida sobre as mulheres. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se numa abordagem qualitativa. Este estudo centra-se ainda na revisão da literatura acerca da violência doméstica, apoiando-se na Teoria do Estigma de Erving Goffman para a criação de categorias de acordo com a revisão do estado da arte em torno deste fenómeno. This work is the result of an intensive analysis of the phenomenon of violence against women and is aimed to work as a mean of prevention and construction of several risk indicators that make it possible to detect these situations. The studied phenomenon refers to a gender inequality, historically constituted and culturally rooted in Portuguese society. Being a concept of great complexity, it should not be analyzed in a slight way due to the nature of the actors, either themselves or aggressively. Thus, the perception of the phenomenon that can be considered as a factor in the subject's life over the years, subject to variations and behavioral changes that can be detected with the passage of time, is revealed. The related questions to deepen and problematize this study were: • How is crime-fighting services a situation where the perpetrator is in danger? • What is the impact generated in life through work? In order to be able to participate in the work of the vitim in Faro Office, it is necessary to have a positive attitude on the ground. This analysis was based on semi-structured interviews, taking into account the vocabulary used, various categories or aspects of this phenomenon in order to recognize and understand the domestic violence impact on abused women. The methodology used was based on a qualitative approach. This study further focuses on a literature book on domestic violence, relying on Erving Goffman's Theory of Statute for a definition of categories according to a review of the state of the art in the context of this phenomenon.
