Gender awareness emerged in the 1990s and aimed to provide awareness and sympathy toward the needs of women, measuring health-care providers’ attitudes toward them and understand if providers possessed the knowledge for appropriate care. According to Miller et al.’s seminal model, gender awareness incorporates three sub-dimensions: gender sensitivity, gender ideology, and knowledge. Gender awareness has the potential to minimize gender bias in health care, improving the ecological validity of research. This scoping review provides an analysis of how gender awareness has been conceptualized, operationalized, and investigated in its relationship with health-related outcomes. A search was conducted on PubMed, PsycINFO, and ERIC. The relevance of 2.589 articles was assessed and 14 empirical studies were selected and included. Difficulties conceptualizing gender awareness were found and gender awareness and gender sensitivity were often presented as interchangeable. Most papers aimed to measure and compare levels of gender awareness among health professionals and the relationship between gender awareness and relevant health-related outcomes was not studied. Drawing upon a critical analysis of our findings, a proposal for a revised gender awareness conceptualization and operationalization is put forth as to inform novel research on its association with gender bias in health and health care. info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion

This article intends to contribute to the theoretical work concerning the relationship between spaces/settings and user’s well-being in the context of healthcare organizations. Using a transdisciplinary approach anchored in psychosociology, the article stems from the conceptual contributions of Environmental Psychology – namely, Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design – and articulates it with the Sociology of engagements. Namely, the aim is to combine the conceptual patrimony from both fields to more acutely identify and differentiate the plurality of evaluative frameworks patients/users mobilize concerning how clinical spaces/settings should be configurated to safeguard their psychological well-being. Namely, two specific concepts from Sociology are integrated into the analysis: hospitality and habitability. We intend, thus, to elaborate the first proposal of a more nuanced conceptual model on person-environment relations that allows mitigating ambiguities identified when analyzing users’ evaluations of clinical spaces/settings. A deeper understanding of these relations can, in turn, favor patients’ resilience and health organizations’ sustainability. publishersversion published

On November 18, 1983, a heavy and short-duration rainfall event (164 mm/24 hours ) occurred, particularly, in the northern Lisbon metropolitan area, associated with an atmospheric depression, localised southwest of the Azores islands, which evolved into a cut-off depression. This rainfall event triggered a large number of landslides, with evident regional importance, which remained little explored until now.Event-based landslide inventories identify the location of landslides caused by a single trigger, which is crucial to understand the predisposition factors and to assess landslide susceptibility for different types of landsides occurring in the study area. The purpose of this study is to elaborate a complete event-based landslide inventory for this rainfall-triggered event, which is used to model landslide susceptibility at the regional scale, helping to understand the combined action of the trigger and the landslide predisposing factors.The landslide inventory is built based on the interpretation of high-resolution analogic aerial photographs (1:15,000 scale), obtained after the event, between the 8th and the 13th December 1983. Recent orthophotomaps covering the complete study area were used as the baseline image for the process of geo-referencing the aerial photos. In addition, it was necessary to perform local correction of deformations, resulting from the conic projections of aerial photographs, to improve the geometry of landslide limits. The landslide inventory allows to identify the landslide event spatial extension as well as to characterize the landslide typology, landslide morphometric parameters and event magnitude.The landslide susceptibility is assessed using the event-based landslide inventory and a set of geo-environmental landslide predisposing factors that are modelled with the statistical method of the Information Value. The obtained results are interpreted taking in account the combination of landslide predisposing factors, but also of the spatial distribution of the rainfall that triggered the landslide event.

This work aims to assess the landslide hazard, nowadays and at the end of the 21st century, considering the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5climate change scenarios. The exposure of residential buildings, roads and strategic equipment to landslide hazard is also assessed. The study area is a small alpine orogenic chain – the Arrábida - characterised by a complex geomorphology, developing along 35 km in the southern part of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.The landslide susceptibility was assessed using a statistical method (Information Value), using seven landslide predisposing factors: slope, aspect, slope curvature, topographic position index, topographic humidity index, lithology, and land use. These factors were crossed with a landslide inventory containing 4047 rainfall-triggered landslides occurred in 19 municipalities belonging to the Lisbon and Tagus Valley region, which includes the study area.The obtained susceptibility model was cross-checked with 197 rainfall-triggered landslides that were inventoried in the Arrábida in 2012, based on aerial photo interpretation and fieldwork. The date of occurrence of most landslides is unknown, but we assume that the morphological maintenance of landslides in the landscape is less than 20 years.The landslide susceptibility map was classified based on the slope breaks of the prediction-rate curve, and the current landslide probability was computed for each grid cell within each landslide susceptibility class.Landslides in the Arrábida have been typically associated with intense rainfall episodes lasting a few days (5 to 15 days). The estimation of the future landslide probability considered the critical rainfall thresholds established for the Lisbon region by Vaz et al. (2018): (regression threshold, R= 5.5D +124.6; minimum threshold, R= 4.4D + 56.5, where R is the critical rainfall, and D is the number of consecutive days).In a recent work, Araújo (2021) projected the critical rainfall thresholds for landsliding in the Lisbon region for the end of the 21st century, in the context of climate change (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios) and considering 4 accumulated rainfall time scales (1 day, 10 days, 30 days and 60 days). The projections for the duration of 10 days are of special interest for the case study, indicating an increase of 5% in frequency in the case of SSP2-4.5 scenario, and a reduction of 10%in frequency in the case of SSP5-8.5 scenario (Araújo, 2021). These features are considered to compute landslide probability per pixel for the end of the century. References:Araújo, J. R. (2021).

In this article we develop the new concept of emotional choreography to describe how patients bond, debond and/or rebond with their embryos created in vitro using assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Using this concept, we explore how the patients' management of their own emotions intertwines with political, scientific, and religious factors. Our analysis relies on and further advances Thompson's concepts of ethical and ontological “choreography”. It is through these forms of choreography that complex contemporary biomedical issues with high political, ethical, and scientific stakes are negotiated, and through which different actors, entities, practices, roles, and norms undergo mutual constitution, reinforcement and (re)definition. Our article draws on the analysis of 69 in-depth interviews and the results of an online survey with 85 respondents. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

h-MoO3 rod-like microcrystals were successfully prepared using the hydrothermal microwave method and evaluated as an adsorbent for MB dye’s adsorption from an aqueous medium. The metastable phase with hexagonal structure (h-MoO3) was well confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. FE-SEM images of these microcrystals confirm the rod-like morphology for all microcrystals synthesized. The better adjustment of the experimental data in the adsorption kinetics study was adjusted using the pseudo-first-order model, being k1 = 0.0049 min−1, qe,cal = 99.90 mg g−1, and R2 = 0.9975. These microcrystals exhibit a high adsorption rate of MB dye in the pH interval from 4.0 to 11.0. In general, for different temperatures (298 K, 308 K, and 318 K), the experimental data were better adjusted with the Temkin isotherm model, being the process of adsorption was favorable and spontaneous. In addition, the h-MoO3-1 h rod-like microcrystals may be regenerated effectively and reused for adsorption of MB with good adsorption performance at least four times, being promising material in the adsorption of this organic pollutant in aqueous solution.

Health care professionals’ gender awareness has been presented as a mechanism to minimize gender biases in health. The present paper aimed to adapt and validate the Nijmegen Gender Awareness in Medicine Scale (N-GAMS, Verdonk et al. in Sex Roles 58:222–234, 2008. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-007-9326-x) to the Portuguese population, also addressing some limitations of its original study, namely by: (1) testing the scale’s three-fold underlying structure and (2) extending the study of its criteria-related validity, by analyzing sex-related differences in medical students’ gender awareness and the associations between gender awareness and empathy and sexism. One thousand and forty-eight medical students (Mage = 22.90; 67.1% women) filled out the Portuguese version of the N-GAMS (N-GAMS.pt) along with measures of Physician Empathy and Sexism. A Parallel Analysis and an Exploratory Factor Analysis suggested the presence of three factors. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed a good fit of the hypothesized three-factor structure: (1) gender sensitivity (n = 6 items; ? =.713), (2) gender-role ideologies towards patients (n = 7 items; ? =.858) and (3) gender-role ideologies towards doctors (n = 5 items; ? =.837), with a positive association between the latter two (r =.570; p

Background Diagnosis of hematolymphoid neoplasm (HLN) requires different technologies which are performed on a patient basis instead of per protocol. We hypothesize that integration of hematimetric and cytological analysis along with multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) provides a framework to evaluate peripheral blood (PB) samples from Primary Care. Methods Samples from patients with persistent (>3 months) lymphocytosis (>5 × 109/L) and/or monocytosis (>109/L) or the presence of atypical and/or blast cells upon the smear review were analyzed by MFC concurrent to cytological analysis. MFC studies were carried out following standardized procedures. Results In a 3-year period, smear review and MFC were performed simultaneously in 350 samples, demonstrating HLN in 194 cases (55.4%). In 156 cases, reactive cell populations were found. The combination of age, absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), hemoglobin and platelets provided the best correlation with MFC for the presence of a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder (CLPD) in lymphocytosis [area under the curve (AUC) 0.891, p Conclusions A strategy to perform MFC studies following standardized procedures has proven to be useful to evaluate samples from patients in Primary Care centers for HLN diagnosis or reactive conditions, providing a sensitive and rapid clinical orientation and avoiding unnecessary consultations in routine clinical practice. The probability for the presence of CLPD in PB can be calculated and help guide decision-making regarding further testing.

It is a very good question and it arose after I finish my undergraduate degree in Goldsmiths, which was in Communications and Sociology, and I was lucky to be taught by Dick Hebdige, a professor in the department of communications and one of the founders of the British culture studies. It was a very exciting intellectual environment and when I left college I knew I wanted to go on and do some further research, and I counted on Elizabeth Wilson’s book “Adorned in Dreams” which, at that time, was one of the few studies of fashion that was not just a historical text with gorgeous photographs of historical garments or a biography of a designer; but it was a text trying to give an account of the emergence of fashion, locating it within debates about modernity and post-modernity which I have been studying on my undergraduate degree. So I kind of consumed this book in a day and I was very excited, and it got me thinking about what other things have been published in fashion and what about the way people dress. I asked many, many questions. [...]

The use of fabric masks is a recommendation from the World Health Organization as part of the strategies to prevent the transmission of covid-19. Its production and sale have been an economic incentive for individual entrepreneurs and large brands. The new hygiene procedures for the use of personal protective equipment that we are experiencing in the context of a pandemic, may form new habits and shape cultures. This paper presents a study based on the analysis of a photograph of masks produced with their own graphics by the Association of Indigenous Women Sateré Mawé (AMISM). The photograph is by Samela Marteninghi and dated 2020. The method used for image analysis is the one proposed by historian Heloísa Capel. Based on the visual aspects of the photograph, the historical marginalization of indigenous peoples; the use of masks as an item of health protection and also and cultural interchanges, and the importance of graphics as an expression of identity belonging are discussed. Themes related to Brazilian indigenous clothing is still rare in academic-scientific studies. The reflection of a Eurocentric and colonialist perspective can be seen in the formation of clothing collections in museums and in the curriculum of training courses in the area in Brazil. This education, together with the culture in which we are inserted, affects the way we analyze the images and live out our visual experiences. O uso de máscaras de tecidos é uma recomendação da Organização Mundial de Saúde como parte das estratégias para impedir a transmissão da covid-19. Sua produção e venda têm sido um incentivo econômico tanto para empreendedores individuais quanto para grandes marcas. As novas condutas de higiene e a recomendação de uso de equipamentos de proteção individual poderão formar novos hábitos e moldar culturas. Este artigo apresenta um estudo feito a partir da análise de uma fotografia de máscaras produzidas com grafismos próprios pela Associação das Mulheres Indígenas Sateré Mawé (AMISM). A fotografia é de autoria de Samela Marteninghi e datada de 2020. O método utilizado para a análise da imagem é o proposto por Heloísa Capel. A partir dos elementos visuais da fotografia, discute-se a marginalização histórica dos povos indígenas, o uso das máscaras como estratégia de dupla sobrevivência e de atravessamentos interculturais e a importância dos grafismos como expressão de pertencimento identitário. Temáticas relacionadas aos modos de vestir das populações indígenas brasileiras ainda são raras nos estudos acadêmico-científicos. O reflexo de uma perspectiva eurocêntrica e colonialista pode ser percebida nas coleções de indumentária em museus e no currículo dos cursos de formação da área no Brasil. Essa educação, em conjunto com a cultura na qual estamos inseridas, afetam o modo como analisamos as imagens e vivenciamos nossas experiências visuais.

Cardiotoxicity is a relevant side effect of cancer therapy that leads to increased patient morbidity and mortality. It is fundamental to understand and remember it as a cause of disease since accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial. We present the case of a patient who developed chemotherapy-associated cardiac dysfunction after receiving treatment for a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Clinical history, echocardiography, and differential diagnosis led us to attribute her condition to heart failure (HF) due to early doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. The patient outcome was favorable. We discuss the pathogenesis and incidence of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity as well as strategies for its detection, prevention, and treatment.

UIDB/00183/2020 UIDP/00183/2020 This dataset belongs to a large-scale educational intervention project introducing cultural literacy learning in schools. The dataset includes transcribed dialogic interactions from 111 lessons conducted in classrooms of five countries: England, Portugal, Germany, Spain, and Cyprus. The lessons were part of the same Cultural Literacy Learning Programme made available to teachers from three age groups (pre-primary, primary, secondary) to implement with their ordinary classes during ten sessions. The data are from the third and eighth sessions and followed the same structure, content, and objectives. As the main goal of the project to which the dataset belongs was on cultural literacy learning, understood as dialogic dispositions and values, the data were coded according to a Dialogic Empathy coding scheme presented in detail in Macagno et al. (2020). This rich multicultural, and multilinguistic, dataset is offered for further analysis by different types of researchers, such as linguists interested in intercultural pragmatics or educational psychologists interested in cross-sectional studies of dialogue and reasoning skills. publishersversion published

Este estudo pretendeu caracterizar o nível de e-literacia em saúde em jovens adultos portugueses. Participaram 109 indivíduos, com idades entre 18 e 25 anos, que responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico e à Escala de E-literacia em Saúde. Globalmente, os jovens apresentam razoável e-literacia em saúde funcional, níveis medianos de e-literacia crítica, e fraca e-literacia comunicacional. Os resultados revelam não existirem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois sexos quanto à e-literacia em saúde global, funcional, comunicacional, e crítica, e que a e-literacia crítica em saúde é superior nos participantes que completaram o mestrado do que nos jovens com menor escolaridade.

Poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) nanofiber mats were electrospun from a solution containing silver nitrate and 254 nm UV light was used to, simultaneously, photo-crosslink the polymer and promote silver nanoparticles (AgNP) formation. PVP cross-linking gives rise to a peak at 290 nm in the UV–Vis spectrum while the surface plasmon resonance of AgNP appeared at 420 nm. PVP-AgNP mats showed inhibitory effects on bacteria and fungi. This work shows that a PVP-AgNP wound dressing that ensures antimicrobial protection can be produced following a simple route.

The purpose of this study was to identify the new technologies that nurses could use to increase the quality of life on an elderly person with leg ulcer. Methods: it was made a systematic revision of literature with qualitative synthesis and meta-analysis. Results: Elderly persons with chronic leg ulcers frequently experience multiple disabling symptoms and these symptoms are highly related with impairment of quality of life. Nowadays, the technology is prepared to improve diagnosis and treatment of illness. For the leg ulcer, one of the newest technologies is electrical stimulation on skin with two types: electrical stimulation therapy and electroceutical treatment. These therapies consist on the application of microcurrents of electric energy to replace the current of injury which has become disrupted in chronic wounds. The therapy reduces the wound size, pain and exudate levels. Conclusion: With this recent investigation and with the enforcement of new technologies in association with the usual therapies it is possible to improve the quality of life of the patient, however, it is extremely important to continue the investigation on this area.

Partindo da análise da obra de Thomas Kuhn “A estrutura das revoluções científicas”, procuramos fazer uma analogia entre os diversos elementos que fazem parte do desenvolvimento do conhecimento científico e do desenvolvimento do currículo. Concluímos com uma referência específica a Timor-Leste, concretamente na área do desenvolvimento curricular, pretendendo que seja mais um contributo para o desenvolvimento da educação deste país.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by 3 overlapping phenotypes: salt-wasting (SW), simple virilizing (SV), and non-classic (NC). We aimed at conducting a nationwide genotype description of the CAH pediatric patients and to establish their genotype-phenotype correlation.CAH patients were recruited from Portuguese pediatric endocrinology centers and classified as SW, SV, or NC. Genetic analysis was performed by polymerase chain reaction (sequence specific primer, restriction fragment length polymorphism) or direct Sanger sequencing. Genotypes were categorized into 4 groups (0, A, B, and C), according to their predicted enzymatic activity. In each group, the expected phenotype was compared to the observed phenotype to assess the genotype-phenotype correlation.Our cohort comprises 212 unrelated pediatric CAH patients (29% SW, 11% SV, 60% NC). The most common pathogenic variant was p.(Val282Leu; 41.3% of the 424 alleles analyzed). The p.(Val282Leu) variant, together with c.293-13A/CG, p.(Ile173Asn), p.(Leu308Thr), p.(Gln319*), and large deletions/conversions were responsible for 86.4% of the mutated alleles. Patients' stratification by disease subtype revealed that the most frequent pathogenic variants were c.293-13A/CG in SW (31.1%), p.(Ile173Asn) in SV (46.9%), and p.(Val282Leu) in NC (69.5%). The most common genotype was homozygosity for p.(Val282Leu; 33.0%). Moreover, we found 2 novel variants: p.(Ile161Thr) and p.(Trp202Arg), in exons 4 and 5, respectively. The global genotype-phenotype correlation was 92.4%. Group B (associated with the SV form) showed the lowest genotype-phenotype correlation (80%).Our cohort has one of the largest NC CAH pediatric populations described. We emphasize the high frequency of the p.(Val282Leu) variant and the very high genotype-phenotype correlation observed.
