Quantifying and mapping uncertainty in urban sentiment prediction: A combined approach with entropy and SHAP explanations
Introduction: Mental health issues have been increasing globally, possibly linked to urbaniza¬tion and related lifestyles. There's a growing awareness that different aspects of the urban environment can influence mental health, either enabling or restrict¬ing behaviors that affect well-being. Recent studies have increasingly used social media data and machine learning techniques to assess urban well-being. However, these approaches often lack int…
Advancing urban exposome research through the integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches in epidemiological research
The notion of ‘urban exposome’ brings promise to the public health and epidemiology fields of inquiry, particularly within research projects conducted within birth cohorts. However, it is also challenging. The present paper addresses how combining qualitative methods with numerical data on exposures and health outcomes may help to fulfil that promise while posing important challenges to researchers. Quantitative methods based on Geographic Inform…
Exposure to green, blue, and biodiverse spaces and their associations with loneliness in urban adults: Findings from the Epiporto cohort
Emerging evidence suggests green space may reduce loneliness, while the role of blue space and biodiversity remains under-researched. This study examines associations between exposure to green, blue, and biodiverse spaces and loneliness in adults in Porto, Portugal and explores potential effect modifiers. Loneliness was assessed in 2022 in 657 EPIPorto cohort participants using the UCLA Loneliness Scale (>32 indicating 'high loneliness'). Vegetat…
The cult of the dead in Medieval Europe: Revisiting a Historiographical Theme in Times of Crisis
Between November 2019 and the end of 2021, our planet lived a strange and singular daily life dictated by unexpected circumstances. During the epidemic caused by the spread of COVID-19, the daily news began with death tolls. For the first time in most of our lives, this wasn’t counting the number of victims of war, massacres or natural disasters. The deaths tallied during that period were, instead, the result of the spread of a respiratory virus,…

Association between area-level walkability and glycated haemoglobin: A Portuguese population-based study
Diabetes poses a substantial disease burden, prompting preventive interventions. Physical inactivity, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, can potentially be mitigated by enhancing area-level walkability. Despite this, limited population-based studies have investigated the link between walkability and objective diabetes measures. Our study aims to estimate the association between area-level walkability and individual glycated haemoglobin leve…
Housing Insecurity and Older Adults’ Health and Well-Being in a Gentrifying City: Results from the Epiporto Cohort Study
Using 2022 data from 600 adults (≥ 60 years) in Porto, Portugal, we explored the association between housing insecurity and various health outcomes. We examined housing conditions, affordability, and stability in relation to loneliness, quality of life, cognitive function, perception of healthy ageing, and sleep using regression models. Older adults without house heating (β = 2.293; 95%CI = 0.753, 3.833), with leaks/dampness/rot (β = 3.741; 1.818…

Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income countries, 2000-2018
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)-giving infants only breast-milk for the first 6 months of life-is a component of optimal breastfeeding practices effective in preventing child morbidity and mortality. EBF practices are known to vary by population and comparable subnational estimates of prevalence and progress across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are required for planning policy and interventions. Here we present a geospatial analysis of E…

The influence of socioeconomic, biogeophysical and built environment on old-age survival in a Southern European city
Um conflito entre poderes na Gándara da Bunhosa no início do século XVII
As comunidades rurais no Antigo Regime constituem um universo fascinante, mas extremamente complexo nas relações sociais que estabelece, nas 1 mentalidades que cristaliza, na estrutura jurídica e institucional na qual assenta. Neste mundo rural torna-se mais visível a teia de sobreposições de domínios e jurisdições que o Regime Senhorial tece e que faz de certas terras, lugares de muitos Senhores ciosos de aumentar o seu poder e privilégios. E es…
Um crime conjugal no feminino: O caso Clesse (1771-1772)
Em 28 de março de 1772, os juízes da Casa da Suplicação ditavam o seguinte acórdão: "[...] condenmão a Ré a que com baraço, e pregão pelas ruas públicas seja levada ao lugar da forca e nella morra morte natural para sempre..." - esta sentença encerrou a atribulada história de Isabel Xavier de Clesse e do crime conjugal por ela cometido, mas, para nós, tornou-se o pretexto para uma reflexão sobre o casal enquanto lugar de violência, numa sociedade…
