Adolescents are experiencing increasing levels of anxiety and academic stress, with schools being privileged contexts to foster mental health literacy and hinder stress and anxiety. Social support and self-management skills have been described as protective factors for these phenomena. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examines the relations between social support, self-management skills, academic stress, and anxiety among adolescents, analyzing the mediational role of self-management in the relation between social support, academic stress, and anxiety. Participants included 137 adolescents, with an average age of 12.56 years (SD = 0.68), who completed the Perception of Academic Stress Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Self-Control and Self-Management Scale, Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results showed that students generally perceive moderate levels of social support from parents, teachers, and peers; moderate levels of academic stress and mild anxiety; and have self-management skills. Findings showed that self-management is related to social support, academic stress, and anxiety, with gender influencing academic stress and anxiety. Self-management was found to mediate the link between social support, academic stress, and anxiety. The results underscore the importance of fostering social support and self-management skills to mitigate academic stress and anxiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo Pretende este artigo apresentar como o projecto artístico é indissociado do processo de construção identitária e, de que forma, se encontra tangência entre o desenvolvimento pessoal com o desenvolvimento artístico. Nesse sentido o estudo cruza uma dupla dimensão metodológica: a análise do percurso artístico de Luís Fortunato Lima na relação com o espaço físico e social do território de Campanhã; e a análise de processos de desenvolvimento identitário baseados na abordagem dialógica de self. Assim, cruzase uma perspectiva oriunda da investigação em arte e outra do campo da investigação em ciências sociais, num diálogo entre prática projectual e identidade pessoal.

- Abstract
O consumo de carne de cavalo depende, principalmente, dos hábitos alimentares das populações que habitam em algumas regiões. Regra geral, este animal é mais consumido nos países onde é produzido [1]. Ao longo dos tempos, o seu consumo tem variado amplamente de acordo com as dife-renças culturais e económicas da sociedade. Este animal fornece uma fonte, relativamente barata, de proteína ani-mal em países onde os cavalos são extensivamente utiliza-dos como animais de trabalho e transporte humano [2]. A textura da carne de cavalo é relativamente firma, e o seu sabor adocicado é-lhe atribuído pelo seu elevado teor em glicogénio, em comparação com outras espécies [1]. Esta carne contém um elevado teor em água, proteínas, ferro e vitaminas, que são solúveis em água. O seu menor teor em lípidos e elevado em fibras musculares e vitaminas insolú-veis em água torna-a diferente, em comparação com a carne bovina e suína [3]. Muitas vezes a ingestão de carne de ca-valo esteve associada a épocas de escassez de alimentos. Contudo, o consumo deste animal é relativamente popular nos países nórdicos e asiáticos, bem como na Itália [4]. Nos países membros da UE, o consumo médio por habitante é de apenas 0,4 kg por ano, mas devido a uma produção insu-ficiente a importação abrange 66,7% das necessidades do mercado [3].

- Abstract
A identificação de espécies em alimentos é cada vez mais importante para avaliar a sua autenticidade, principalmente nos produtos cárneos. O consumidor tem direito a uma escolha informada, uma vez que esta pode ser um reflexo de um estilo de vida, práticas religiosas ou problemas de saúde. Assim, uma rotulagem correta e verdadeira é fundamental para manter o consumidor informado sobre a identidade e qualidade dos produtos alimentares que está a adquirir. Recentemente, surgiu um escândalo de dimensões internacionais, relacionado com a adição de carne de cavalo não declarada em alimentos processados. Contudo, a presença desta espécie não representa um risco para a saúde do consumidor, a não ser que a carne de cavalo contenha fenilbutazona. Esta droga não é permitida para o consumo humano, uma vez que pode causar doenças sanguíneas, como a anemia aplástica. Animais que forem medicados com esta droga não podem ser utilizados para consumo, uma vez que não é possível definir um limite máximo de resíduo para este medicamento veterinário. Todavia, a presença não declarada desta espécie representa uma fraude alimentar. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de técnicas de PCR específicas e sensíveis para a identificação de carne de cavalo em produtos alimentares. Inicialmente foi desenvolvida a técnica de PCR qualitativa, onde foram estabelecidos limites de deteção (LOD) absolutos e relativos. A sensibilidade obtida para o LOD absoluto foi de 1pg e 10 pg para ADN de cavalo cruo e autoclavado, respetivamente. Relativamente ao LOD relativo também se alcançaram limites distintos para misturas binárias cruas e processadas, de 0,001% e 0,01%, respetivamente. Esta técnica foi aplicada a um conjunto de 77 amostras adquiridas antes e depois do “escândalo da carne de cavalo”, sendo que 2 revelaram a presença da espécie. Posteriormente, de forma a confirmar e quantificar a espécie de cavalo, recorreu-se à técnica de PCR em tempo real com o corante EvaGreen e análise de melting. Atingiu-se um limite de deteção absoluto de 0,1 pg de ADN de cavalo cruo e autoclavado, e um LOD relativo de 0,0001% de carne de cavalo em misturas cruas e processadas. Por fim, foi construído e validado o modelo normalizado de quantificação com base no método ΔCt, tendo-se passado à sua aplicação nas amostras que amplificaram positivamente a espécie de cavalo na PCR qualitativa. O método permitiu confirmar a presença de ADN de cavalo, no entanto os valores baixos encontrados indicaram que a presença de cavalo deverá ser resultado de contaminação cruzada e não de possível fraude. Pode-se concluir que neste trabalho foram desenvolvidas ferramentas úteis e eficazes para a deteção de adulterações em produtos cárneos com carne de cavalo. Nowadays, identification of species in food is of major importance to evaluate food authenticity, with special emphasis on meat products. The consumer has the right of an informed choice, which may be a reflection of lifestyles, religious practices or health problems. Therefore, a correct and truthful labelling is crucial to inform the consumer about the identity and quality of food products they are buying. Recently, associated with the undeclared addition of horse meat to processed foods, an international scandal emerged. The presence of this species does not pose a health risk to the consumer, unless the horse meat contains phenylbutazone. This drug is not allowed for human consumption since it can cause blood diseases such as aplastic anaemia. Animals that are treated with this drug cannot be used for consumption since it is not possible to set a maximum residue limit for this veterinary medicine. However, the presence of non-declared horse-species is a food fraud. This work aimed at developing sensitive and specific PCR-based methods for the identification of horse meat in food products. Initially qualitative PCR assay was developed, where absolute and relative limits of detection (LOD) were established. The sensitivity obtained for the absolute LOD was 1 pg of raw horse DNA and 10 pg of processed horse DNA. The relative sensitivity was achieved by means of raw and processed binary reference mixtures, showing LOD of 0.001 % and 0.1%, respectively. This technique has been successfully applied to a set of 77 samples, prior and after the “horse meat scandal”, which showed the presence of two positive samples to horse DNA. Subsequently, in order to confirm and quantify the presence of horse, we resorted to the technique of real-time PCR with EvaGreen dye and melting curve analysis. The technique reached a absolute LOD of 0.1 pg in raw and autoclaved horse DNA and a relative LOD 0.0001% of horse meat in raw and processed mixtures. Finally, the standard model for quantification was built based on ΔCt method, successfully validated and applied to the positive samples in qualitative PCR. However, this model can be only applied in one sample. Quantification revealed the presence of the specie at very low amount, which suggests the possibility of cross-contamination. The method allowed confirming the presence of horse DNA, though the low values indicate that its presence should have been the result of cross-contamination and not an eventual food fraud. This work allowed concluding that useful and effective tools were developed for the adulteration detection in meat products with horse meat.

The innovative moments model was used in a pilot study that aimed to explore the change processes involved in everyday change outside psychotherapy. According to this model, the emergence and development of innovative moments (IMs) as exceptions to a problematic pattern are closely associated with psychological change. A longitudinal design covering 4 months of interviews was implemented with 13 adults who were coping with significant personal problems without clinical psychopathological complaints. Semistructured interviews were used to explore participants' personal accounts of their problems, and change was assessed using a scaling task at the end of the study. A total of 114 interviews were analyzed using the innovative moments coding system. A general linear model showed that higher levels of change were associated with higher proportions of complex IMs over time. Moreover, lower levels of change were associated with an increase in elementary IMs. These results support the idea that successful psychological change in everyday life shares similarities with the change pattern found in psychotherapy using the innovative moments model.

EMOTIONS in adolescence ,ADOLESCENT psychology ,PARENT-child relationships ,CONFIRMATORY factor analysis ,PSYCHOLOGICAL adaptation in adolescence - Abstract
There are few studies on parental socialization of positive emotions in adolescents and few instruments that measure these parental reactions. Therefore, we developed a new version of the Emotion Socialization Scale (ESS) for the positive emotion of overjoy. We further provided some evidence of validity and reliability of the Portuguese ESS, featuring overjoy, fear, anger, and sadness. Adolescents (N = 418) answered questionnaires on maternal emotion socialization and maternal rearing practices. Confirmatory factor analysis achieved good (reward, neglect, override, magnify) to acceptable (punish) levels of fit, and scales had good levels of internal consistency, except for punish (all emotions) and neglect (overjoy). Association with maternal rearing practices supported the adaptive role of reward and magnify and the less adaptive role of punish, override, neglect of positive emotion, with some exceptions. This investigation demonstrated the importance of assessing parents' reactions to adolescents' positive emotion as these may be important indicators of the parent-adolescent relationship quality.

Dialogical self, narrative, image, metaphor - Abstract
Ruck and Slunecko (2008) present a proposal for a method of investigation of the dialogical self which is based on the potential of the image as a form of self-expression and a privileged means of accessing its structure and relational dynamics. The main objective of the pictorial method is the study of the role of the self’s spatial and temporal dimensions and it seeks to become an alternative tool to methods of a narrative nature, which put stress on the temporal dimension, and which have dominated dialogical self theory at a meta-theoretical and theoretical levels and also at a methodological level. This commentary takes the form of a reflection on the dichotomy inherent to the general argument of the authors: image versus narrative in the dialogical conception of the self. The viability of both narrative and pictorial metaphors, in the description of the dialogicality intrinsic to the processes pertaining to identity is discussed through the difference between narrative/textual/linguistic spatiality and imagery/pictorial/geographic spatiality.

615.851 - Abstract
Tese de doutoramento em Psicologia (ramo do conhecimento em Psicologia Clínica), A mudança e a transição são propriedades definidoras da experiência de vida humana. O objectivo do estudo que é apresentado nesta dissertação de doutoramento é o de contribuir para a compreensão dos fenómenos de inovação pessoal partindo, especificamente, de uma perspectiva narrativa sobre a mudança. Dentro das experiências de vida quotidianas com maior potencial de promoção da mudança, destacam-se as percebidas como problema, na medida em que interferem com o estado de funcionamento habitual da pessoa, contrariando as suas intenções, desejos e propósitos de vida. Uma vez dominada por uma narrativa insatisfatória e pelo desejo de restabelecer um modo de funcionamento adaptado às suas necessidades, a pessoa vai mobilizar-se na procura de formas de resolução do problema. A partir do processo de resolução de problemas de vida significativos tende a resultar a construção gradual de uma nova narrativa de vida, alternativa à do problema, desta feita mais consistente com os seus objectivos. A experiência de resolução de problemas de vida constitui-se, desta forma, como uma oportunidade de mudança por envolver não só a procura de novos significados e formas de estar, como uma reestruturação e reorganização narrativa que permite retomar a autoria da história de vida (Sarbin, 1986; White & Epston, 1990). Foi com o intuito de contribuir para a compreensão dos fenómenos inerentes à inovação narrativa que desenvolvemos um estudo exploratório sobre processos de inovação que elegeu a mudança na resolução de problemas de vida significativos diários, na ausência de apoio psicológico especializado, como amostra dos processos globais de inovação humana. De modo a estudar a mudança em processo, recorremos à analogia com o modelo de mudança desenvolvido por Gonçalves e colaboradores no contexto da mudança em psicoterapia (e.g., Gonçalves, Matos, & Santos, 2009). Este modelo assenta na noção de momentos de inovação (MIs), e tem o Sistema de Codificação de Momentos de Inovação (SCMI, versão 7.1; Gonçalves, Matos, & Santos, 2008) como método de avaliação da mudança narrativa. Os MIs contemplam todas as formas de acção, de pensamento e de emoção que expressas no discurso da pessoa que não vão de encontro aos significados prescritos pela narrativa do problema que vive no momento. Tendo como referência os resultados de estudos com amostras terapêuticas (e.g., Matos, Santos, Gonçalves, & Martins, 2009), no nosso estudo procuramos verificar se à mudança fora do contexto terapêutico estão associados padrões de inovação igualmente caracterizados pelo aumento da elaboração de MIs, pela sua heterogeneidade e, especificamente, pela sua consolidação sob a forma de emergência de MIs de reconceptualização. Tendo os MIs como variável dependente e indicador de mudança narrativa, construímos um procedimento de investigação longitudinal de quatro meses de entrevistas em intervalos de duas a três semanas. As entrevistas foram administradas a um grupo de treze participantes que, no momento, estavam a viver um problema de vida percebido como perturbador e comprometedor do seu funcionamento habitual. Deste procedimento longitudinal resultaram dois grupos contrastantes: um grupo com mudança e um grupo sem mudança. Os resultados da codificação das narrativas recolhidas confirmam globalmente as previsões do modelo de mudança terapêutica de Gonçalves e colaboradores, bem como os resultados dos estudos com amostras terapêuticas. A mudança resultante da resolução bem sucedida de problemas de vida diários está associada ao aumento significativo da emergência global de MIs, dos cinco tipos de MIs e, especificamente, de MIs de reconceptualização. A partir destes resultados concluímos que a inovação pessoal na resolução diária de problemas de vida significativos, na ausência de apoio psicológico especializado, se caracteriza por um padrão transversal à mudança narrativa dentro e fora do contexto terapêutico. O processo de inovação pessoal, tendo como referência o papel definidor dos MIs de reconceptualização, resulta da possibilidade da pessoa assumir, quer uma posição de autoria, quer uma perspectiva metacognitiva sobre a mudança manifesta sob a forma de MIs mais elementares. Esta perspectiva confere a capacidade de comparar as diferenças entre a narrativa problemática anterior e a actual, de compreender que factores estiveram na base dessa transição e de integrar as novidades entretanto registadas numa nova narrativa de vida coerente. É o alcance deste patamar meta-reflexivo que distingue, no nosso estudo, as pessoas que resolveram das que não resolveram as suas dificuldades de vida. Verificamos ainda que este processo nem sempre é expresso ao nível verbal, correspondendo a interacção com os outros a uma das principais fontes de estimulação da sua expressão, um aspecto que nos remete para o papel dos interlocutores e da interacção na validação da mudança., Change and transition are defining properties of human life experience. The aim of the study presented in this doctoral dissertation, is to contribute to the understanding of the phenomena of personal innovation, specifically from a narrative perspective of change. Among the daily life experiences with a greater potential to promote change, we highlight those which are perceived as a problem, since it interferes with the usual state of functioning of the person, opposing to her life intentions, desires and purposes. Once constrained by an unsatisfactory narrative and by the desire to reestablish a type of functioning adapted to his/her needs, the person mobilizes his/herself to the search for ways to solve the problem. The process of significant life problem-solving tends to lead to the gradual construction of a new life narrative, alternative to the problem, more consistent with his/her goals. The experience of daily life problem-solving is, in this sense, an opportunity to change because it involves not only the search for new meanings and modes of being, but also a narrative reconstruction and reorganization which allows to regain authorship in the life story (Sarbin, 1986; White & Epston, 1990). To contribute to the understanding of the phenomena underlying narrative innovation, we developed an exploratory study about innovation processes which as elected the change in the resolution of significant daily life problems, without any kind of specialized psychological counseling, as a sample of the global processes of human innovation. Aiming to study change in process, we established an analogy between the context of spontaneous change and the psychotherapeutic one, based in the model of change developed by Gonçalves and collaborators in the context of psychotherapeutic change (e.g., Gonçalves, Matos, & Santos, 2009). This model is sustained in the notion of innovativemoments (i-moments), and provides the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS, version 7.1; Gonçalves, Matos, & Santos, 2008) as an analytic tool. The i-moments represent all the forms of action, thought and emotion, expressed in the speech of the person in disagreement with the meanings prescribed by the narrative of the problem that she is living at the moment. Having as reference the results from the studies with therapeutic samples (e.g., Matos, Santos, Gonçalves, & Martins, 2009), in our study we tried to verify if change outside the therapeutic context is related to innovation patterns characterized by the increase in the elaboration and heterogeneity of i-moments and, specifically, by its consolidation through the emergence of re-conceptualization i-moments. Assuming the i-moments as our dependent variable and indicator of narrative change, we built a four months longitudinal research procedure based on sequential interviews. These individual interviews proceeded every two or three weeks with a group of thirteen participants that, at the moment, were living a problem perceived as disturbing and compromising their usual functioning. Two contrasting groups have resulted from the interview process: one group with change and another one without change. The results from the analysis of the narratives collected confirm the predictions of the model of therapeutic change from Gonçalves and collaborators, and also confirm the results from the therapeutic samples. An effective narrative change is associated to a significant increase in the global emergence of i-moments, an increase also in each of the five types of i-moments and, particularly, in re-conceptualization i-moments. We concluded from these results that personal innovation in significant daily life problem-solving, even in the absence of psychological help, is characterized by a common pattern inside and outside the therapeutic context. The process of human innovation, having the defining role of re-conceptualization imoments as reference, comes from the possibility of the person to assume both an authorship position, and a metacognitive perspective on change through more elementary i-moments. This provides the ability to compare the differences between the previous problematic narrative and the present one, to understand the factors underlying that evolution, and to integrate the emerged novelties in a new coherent life narrative. It is the reaching of this metareflexive stage that distinguishes, in our study, the participants who have resolved their life difficulties from those who haven’t. We also verified that this process is not always expressed at the verbal level, being the interaction with others a main source of its stimulation, which directs us to the key role of interlocutors and interactions in the validation of change., Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) - SFRH / BD / 19452 / 2004

- Abstract
Background: Emotions can be regulated through several regulatory strategies that are involved in the development of psychopathological symptoms. Despite the well-established association between psychopathology and emotion dysregulation, little is known about the relationship between individual symptoms of depression and anxiety and emotion regulation strategies (ERS), as well as between ERS themselves., Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study and examined the interactions between six ERS (reappraisal, engagement, rumination, suppression, arousal control, and distraction) and assessed their distinctive association with the activation of specific symptoms of depression and anxiety in a community sample of 376 adults (80.4% female; M
age = 32.70; SDage = 11.80). The Regulation Emotion Systems Survey (RESS) was used to measure ERS. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) were used to assess psychological symptoms. An exploratory graph analysis was performed to examine the structural properties of the network of interactions between these behaviors. Additionally, to test the association of ERS with the activation of the depression symptoms network, an expected symptoms activity (ESA) was conducted., Results: Six communities were found that correspond to the six ERS. Rumination and suppression have a significant association with symptom activation (particularly low self-esteem), whereas reappraisal reduces symptomatic activation. The effect of arousal control, engagement, and distraction appears to depend on the remaining ERS rather than having much influence on their own., Conclusion: This study provides insight into how ERS interact with each other and with individual symptoms of depression and anxiety. Understanding the effects of these interactions on symptom activation and comorbidity can improve our understanding of psychopathology., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Rodrigues, Castro, Cardoso, Ferreira, Serrão, Coelho, Meira and Ferreira.)- Published
