“Be Mothers as if we Were not Workers, Be Workers as if we Were not Mothers”
Parenthood challenges work–life balance, particularly where traditional gender norms persist. Despite policy advancements, disparities in income and career progression remain, with mothers disproportionately assuming childcare and household responsibilities. This study explored the impact of parenthood on professional and personal life through thirty semi-structured interviews with Portuguese mothers and fathers living in Portugal and seven other…
Empowering Democracy
The adoption of blockchain technology continues to grow, a direct result of its potential to provide new solutions to old problems in several industries, including the electoral sector. Blockchain technology is proposed to have the potential to address and overcome the traditional pen and paper scheme’s challenges and limitations, as well as trust concerns around more modern e‐voting systems. Ultimately, with the aim to revert the recent downward…
Reflections on the role of [meta]data in strategic environmental assessment
There is a need to reflect on the role of [meta]data and science-based methods in Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). Regardless of the acknowledged environmental legitimate purposes of SEA, this instrument remains undervalued, namely because of its inherent methodological and technical complexity. In an era of data abundance and technological developments in spatial data analysis, modelling and storage, this is not reflected in SEA process…
How Do Professionals Regard Vulnerable People in a Portuguese Community Setting? A Qualitative Content Analysis
The commitment to leave no one behind is at the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with special attention given to people in vulnerable situations. The present study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of professionals who have attended to vulnerable people in a community setting. Descriptive qualitative research was conducted using qualitative content analysis of interviews with fifteen Portuguese professionals fro…
The environment contribution to gender differences in childhood obesity and organized sports engagement
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze gender-specific associations between sports activity outside of school and obesity, observing to what extent the local built environment contributes to the patterns found. METHODS: A total of 2253 children aged 6.0-11.0 years were assessed: 49.3% girls and 50.7% boys. Children's weight and height were measured, age and sex-specific BMI cut-off points were used to define normal vs overweight/obesity. Children'…
The role of urban design in childhood obesity
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesize that physical features of the urban environment might enhance or prevent childhood obesity. Thus, this study's main goal was to verify if there is an association between the neighborhood urban design and childhood obesity-independent of well-known childhood obesity determinants, such as, father's level of schooling (as a proxy for socioeconomic status), and parent's weight status. METHODS: This study classifies neighborh…
Understanding and mapping local conflicts related to protected areas in small islands
Establishing Protected Areas (PAs) is considered one of the most appropriate ways to conserve nature and cultural landscapes. However, conservation constraints can generate social conflicts, especially at a local level. In small islands (SIs), local conflicts may escalate due to an increase in competition for limited space and resources. Pico island in the Azores Archipelago (Portugal), part of the Outermost European region, was considered a good…
Perceived neighbourhood environmental characteristics and physical activity according to socioeconomic status in adolescent girls
The study showed that girls of higher SES are more active than those of lower SES and that social background might be associated with differences in neighbourhood environmental perceptions
Watershed integrated management
The Sete Cidades Lake (437 ha) is located in a volcanic crater of Sao Miguel Island (Azores). The watershed is 1923 ha, and 25% of it is covered with water. Extreme logging and the use of fertilizers in the cattle grazing areas have caused sedimentation and eutrophication of the main water body (Carlson Trophic State Index TSI = 40–50 mesoeutrophy). To deal with the issue, a linear programming model was created to generate efficient land-use scen…
