Brief report
Neurodevelopmental disorders affect the lifespan of diagnosed individuals and their families. COVID-19 challenged these families with daily routine unpredictability requiring rapid adaptations. Moreover, associations and schools were closed, leaving these families without regular social support. Here, we investigate which individual and family factors can predict the caregiver's depressive state and overall burden. An online study took place betw…
Creative Tourism Consumption
Creative tourism studies remain a newly developed field, pointing to changes in the consumption of tourism and culture while influencing how creativity and co-creation differentiate tourism supply through exploring the existential dimensions of creative experiences, the latter remaining an under-researched theme in the creative tourism literature.

Morphogenèse de la marque Jean Nouvel
Cet article veut montrer la portée d’une question plus large: qu’est-ce que le Branding Territorial sous la perspective sémiotique ? et pourquoi cette question est importante pour nous, architectes. L’un des plus anciens leviers du Branding Territorial réside dans les Brand Architectes, plus communément appelés Star Architectes. Il semblerait que l’identité de leur marque, représentée par un nom propre (le sien), comme Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, R…
Attitudes and preferences of digitally skilled dementia caregivers towards online psychoeducation
Online interventions have been explored to support informal dementia caregivers. Despite favourable evidence on the effectiveness of such interventions, substantial non-use and dropout attrition are reported. This cross-sectional study characterises attitudes and preferences of digitally skilled dementia caregivers (N = 157) towards online psychoeducational interventions (OPIs) and explores associations of attitudes with sociodemographic, context…
Covid-19 and Lockdown
In addition to outdoor atmospheric contamination, indoor exposure to pollutants is a prime contributor to the overall human exposure, and may condition the expressiveness and severity of respiratory, cardiovascular, and allergic diseases. This situation has worsened due to COVID-19, as people have spent more time indoors to comply with social isolation and mandatory telework. The primary purpose of this study was to assess and compare indoor air …

Outcomes from a brief group behavior therapy approach for social anxiety disorder in adolescence
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) usually develops in adolescence and is maintained by avoidance and safety seeking behaviors, which are the focus of behavioral therapy (BT). This work explored the outcomes of a brief group BT for SAD in adolescence, combining exposure with skills training. Fourteen adolescents (aged 14-18 years old) diagnosed with SAD received the intervention. BT was compared to a waiting list condition (n = 10) from pre- to post-i…
Can cognitive restructuring serve as a brief stand-alone treatment for social anxiety disorder in adolescence? An exploratory clinical trial
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a debilitating and chronic condition that usually arises in adolescence. Cost-effective interventions provided early on may alter its usually chronic trajectory. This study evaluated changes following a brief cognitive restructuring intervention with 14 adolescent girls, against a waitlist control group, on social anxiety, fear of negative and positive evaluation and negative automatic thoughts. Predictors of post…

Transnational divorce in binational marriages
While academic research has focused on binational marriages (i.e., marriages between partners of different national origins), transnational divorce is still under‐researched in the field of migration and family studies. Drawing on qualitative data, this paper analyses the testimonies of Brazilian and Cape Verdean migrant women concerning their experiences of marriage and divorce from Portuguese partners. We adopt an intersectional approach to hig…
Making sense of heterogeneous innovative social action
Currently, countries, organizations and individual actors are increasingly pushed towards an ‘innovation imperative’ that presents innovation as an unequivocal promoter of multi-level success. However, it remains to be addressed whether innovation actors have homogenously incorporated this narrative, or rather, attribute divergent meanings to previous innovative social action. Inspired by critical innovation studies and sensemaking research, this…

Structural validity, reliability and screening performance of the Online Psychoeducational Intervent…
Profiles of Malaria Research in Portugal
Synergies between globalization and knowledge economy were suggested to direct biomedical research towards economically-interested activities. In this context, research in malaria, a disease endemic to poverty, may be at a paradoxical stance. This study addresses this issue assessing whether malaria research is driven by the accumulation of economic and/or other forms of capital. Drawing upon academic and epistemic capitalism, malaria research is…

A sort of black and white past and present thing’
This article examines the discursive positions South African high school students take up in response to a teaching intervention that invites them to historicize their identities. It thus seeks to contribute to the growing body of education research on how to meaningfully engage young people in post-conflict societies with their recent past. Drawing on lesson transcripts as well as post-intervention focus group discussions with students in two di…

Identity formation and affective spaces in conflict‐ridden societies
In this article, we present vignettes from two projects – one in Cyprus and the other in South Africa – to show how some classrooms enact heterotopic affective spaces that oppose normal/ized identities, that is, identities grounded in polarized trauma narratives. The notion of heterotopia is a spatial concept developed by Foucault to emphasize the importance of space in power relations, subjectivities and knowledge development. Our aim in this ar…

Exogamous patterns in four immigrant groups in Portugal (2001 and 2011)
This article analyses the exogamy patterns in four groups of immigrants to Portugal — from the Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOPs), EU-12, Brazil, and Eastern Europe — in 2001 and 2011. In the light of earlier studies, on the one hand the authors assess the existence of both gender differences and differences in terms of educational and age homogamy in these marriages. On the other, they also analyse the factors that explain the propen…
Padrões de casamento dos imigrantes brasileiros residentes em Portugal
Ao longo das últimas décadas, o número de estrangeiros residentes em Portugal aumentou de forma expressiva. Neste contexto, a comunidade brasileira assumiu uma importância cada vez maior, sendo em 2009 a nacionalidade mais representada, com uma participação de 25% no total de residentes estrangeiros em Portugal. Esta evolução tem, como seria de se esperar, reflexos a outros níveis, em particular no contexto do casamento. Contrariando a tendência …

Reply letter utilization by secondary level specialists in a municipality in Brazil
Despite a general understanding of its importance, specialists in Camaragibe had difficulty adopting the reply letter as a form of communication at the interface between primary and secondary care levels. The reply letter can be effective in improving communication at the interface, but the broad cultural, historical, and organizational features of secondary level specialists need to be considered in order to improve reply letter utilization

A Population-Based Assessment of Midlife Portuguese Women's Experience of Perimenopause and Menopause
The frequency of changes experienced by menopausal women is variable in different cultures. It is our purpose to identify the symptoms that Portuguese women consider to be related to menopause. We also wish to evaluate the relations between these symptoms and menopausal status, sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, and medication-menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and psychotropics. In women with a low educational level, the frequency of symptoms…
A Population-Based Assessment of the Relationship Between Menopausal and Depressive Symptoms in Portuguese Women
Empirical research on the relationship between menopause and depression has found contradictory results. Some authors suggest that depression is related to menopausal symptoms and not to menopausal status per se. Our aim is to study the relationship between menopausal status and depressive symptoms in a sample (n = 728) of middle-aged Portuguese women, taking into account the presence of menopausal symptoms. Depressive symptoms were measured with…

Depressive Symptoms and Pain Complaints as Predictors of Later Development of Depression in Portuguese Middle-Aged Women
Pain complaints and depressive symptoms seem to be risk factors for future depressive episodes. We present a one-year follow-up study on Portuguese women and primary health care (initial sample: n = 503). We used the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), a short questionnaire on pain, and clinical interviews. We used forward stepwise logistic regression analysis to define models that enable the prediction of developing a majo…
