Evolution of Climate Change Coverage in Latin American Press
Climate change is recognized as a major challenge for humanity. In recent years, there has been an acceleration in rising temperatures, alongside numerous impacts occurring in all regions of the world. Latin America, with its diverse realities across its vast territory, is already experiencing its effects. The media play a social role in conveying information about this challenge and reflect the interest or disinterest of societies. This paper at…
A transdisciplinaridade na média-arte digital enquanto processo de criação-investigação
Neste artigo, realizamos uma análise crítica e discussão sustentada acerca dos traços de transdisciplinaridade presentes na média-arte digital tanto enquanto processo criativo como também de investigação. Na análise, contrapomos os princípios da transdisciplinaridade conforme expressos na Carta da Transdisciplinaridade de 1994 e ainda o pensamento contemporâneo definidor e problematizador de um conjunto de autores de referência, complementado com…
A projeção mural multimédia como formação cultural e democrática no espaço público
A projeção mural multimédia é hoje comumente utilizada para fins puramente publicitários ou lúdicos, de entretinimento, no âmbito de eventos que convoquem grandes aglomerados de públicos, sendo menos usual os fins culturais e educacionais. Neste artigo vamos apresentar, analisar e discutir o recurso à projeção mural multimédia em espaços públicos, com objetivos educacionais, formação cultural e de interpelação artística, tomando como tema do cont…

Measuring nutritional knowledge using Item Response Theory and its validity in European adolescents
Objective To analyse the Nutritional Knowledge Test (NKT) using Item Response Theory (ITR) analysis and to assess the construct validity of the Nutritional Knowledge Scale (NKTS) and its associations with adolescent food group consumption and nutritional biomarkers. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Multicentre investigation conducted in ten European cities. Participants Adolescents aged 12·5–17·5 years ( n 3215) who completed over 75 % of th…
Ensinar programação em ambientes e-learning: Preocupações e propostas no âmbito do modelo pedagógico virtual da Universidade Aberta de Portugal
O ensino e aprendizagem da programação de computadores em ambiente e-learning constitui uma área que tem vindo a atrair um interesse crescente tanto por parte das universidades de ensino em rede como pelos investigadores do e-learning. Aprender a programar computadores requer o desenvolvimento de raciocínio lógico da parte do estudante, enquanto aprende a dominar as potencialidades de uma determinada linguagem de programação, a construir estrutur…

The findings of the UP&DOWN study may help the Health Information Systems and policy makers to identify the target population for primary prevention and health promotion policies, and to develop and test preventive strategies. Moreover, these data will allow following the trends at population level, as well as to modify/adapt/create new evidence-based physical activity guidelines at national level. The findings will also serve as a scientific pla…
Influence of health behaviours on the incidence of infection and allergy in adolescents: The Afinos cross-sectional study
Excess weight and inadequate sleep duration are independently associated with the incidence of allergy symptoms in adolescents. Adequate sleep duration and weight during adolescence might be relevant for a decreased risk of suffering allergy symptoms

Patterns of sedentary behavior and compliance with public health recommendations in Spanish adolescents: The Afinos study
The aims of the present study were: (i) describe patterns of sedentary behavior in Spanish adolescents; and (ii) determine the proportion of adolescents that do not meet the public health recommendations for sedentary behavior. This study comprised 1,724 Spanish adolescents (882 girls), aged 13 to 16 years. Patterns of sedentary behavior (TV viewing, use of computer games, console games and surfing the Internet) were assessed using the HELENA sed…
Behavioural correlates of active commuting to school in Spanish adolescents: The Afinos (Physical Activity as a Preventive Measure Against Overweight, Obesity, Infections, Allergies, and Cardiovascula…
Objective To examine the associations between lifestyle factors and active commuting to school in Spanish adolescents. Design Cross-sectional study. Lifestyle factors (overall/extracurricular physical activity, television viewing, reading as a hobby, sleep duration, breakfast/fruit intake, smoking and alcohol intake) as well as mode and duration of commuting to school were self-reported. Active commuters were defined as those adolescents who walk…
Recommended levels and intensities of physical activity to avoid low‐cardiorespiratory fitness in European adolescents: The Helena study
This study shows sex- and intensity-specific PA thresholds to discriminate between adolescents with a healthy CRF from those with a less favorable or unhealthy CRF level
Excessive TV viewing and cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents. The Avena cross-sectional study
Excessive TV viewing seems to be related to an unfavorable CVD risk factors profile in adolescence. Reducing TV viewing in overweight adolescents might be beneficial to decrease abdominal body fat
Validity of the Bouchard activity diary in Spanish adolescents
Objective Valid and simple instruments to assess physical activity (PA) in specific populations are required for health-related research. The aim of the present study was to assess the validity of the Bouchard activity diary (AD) in Spanish adolescents using an activity monitor to compare total PA and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) obtained by both instruments. Design Sixty-one Spanish adolescents, aged 12–16 years, completed the Bouchard AD and …
Design and evaluation of a treatment programme for Spanish adolescents with overweight and obesity. The Evasyon Study
The treatment programme developed in the EVASYON study was designed as a national pilot study to be implemented as an effective treatment for adolescents with OW/OB into the Spanish Health Care Service
Physical activity as a preventive measure against overweight, obesity, infections, allergies and cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents: Afinos Study protocol
This paper describes the rationale, design, and methodologies used in the AFINOS Study. This multidisciplinary, multicenter study seeks to evaluate several aspects of existing relationships between routine physical activity/sedentary behaviour and several health status markers, specifically those related to the immune system. The results of this cross-sectional study will serve for comparisons with the available data obtained in laboratory settin…
Assessing, understanding and modifying nutritional status, eating habits and physical activity in European adolescents: The Helena (Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence) Study
Objectives To identify the main knowledge gaps and to propose research lines that will be developed within the European Union-funded ‘Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence’ (HELENA) project, concerning the nutritional status, physical fitness and physical activity of adolescents in Europe. Design Review of the currently existing literature. Results The main gaps identified were: lack of harmonised and comparable data on food int…
