Cultural and creative actors in non-urban areas
Cultural and creative actors in non-urban areas contribute to local regenerative actions through practices of stewardship and place-based creativity. This article focuses on how a key principle of regenerative development, “stewardship of the resources of place, identity, and unique potential,” is conceived and enacted. The study aims to deepen understanding of how regenerative forms of local development that nurture social, cultural, and ecologi…

By the start of the 2019-2020 school year, 37 DPE-PLC units were fully operational within 25 geographic subdistricts. DPE-PLCs provided physical education teachers with monthly professional learn…
The Structure and Dynamics of Creative Tourism
Contributing to limited knowledge of creative tourism product development and operationalization processes in small cities and rural areas, ePortfolios were used as an online fieldnote depository for photographs and texts, which were entered by geographically dispersed researchers within the CREATOUR research-and-application project. The ePortfolios, as a type of research diary, record and examine the ways in which 48 different creative tourism a…
Portuguese Workers of Private Institutions of Social Solidarity and Affective Job Satisfaction
This study evaluates the validity and factorial structure of the affective job satisfaction scale (BIASJ) among 234 workers from private institutions of social solidarity (IPSS) in Portugal. Emotional job satisfaction, a key marker of psychological well-being, is associated with positive outcomes for employees and organizations. The sample was mainly female, with an average age of 39.15 years (SD = 8.22). The BIASJ and Maslach burnout inventory (…
Culture–tourism entanglements
Inspired by a rapidly emerging shift towards ‘regenerative tourism’ that privileges local improvement and well-being, this article considers the close connections between cultural initiatives and tourism in smaller communities and the often-missing policy frameworks to acknowledge and support these for community benefit. In practice, socio-cultural entrepreneurs develop enmeshed culture–tourism activities frequently propelled by ideas and desires…

This research aimed to determine the level of marital satisfaction of Portuguese families during the social lockdown and the association between the variables under study. A descriptive, exploratory study was conducted. During the…
Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT)
The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) has been gaining increased attention as a sound and innovative instrument in its conceptualization of burnout. BAT has been adapted for several countries, revealing promising validity evidence. This paper aims to present the psychometric properties of the Brazilian and Portuguese versions of the BAT in both the 23-item and 12-item versions. BAT's validity evidence based on the internal structure (dimensionality, …
Detection of the Invasive Mosquito Species Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Diptera
The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is an invasive mosquito originating from the Asia-Pacific region. This species is of major concern to public and veterinary health because of its vector role in the transmission of several pathogens, such as chikungunya, dengue, and Zika viruses. In Portugal, a National Vector Surveillance Network (REde de VIgilância de VEctores—REVIVE) is responsible for the surveillance of autochthonous, but also invasi…
L’émigration portugaise qualifiée dans le contexte européen
Devant le renouvellement de l’émigration portugaise en Europe, une enquête réalisée en 2014 fait le point sur les représentations que les migrants portent sur leur propre parcours. La distinction de différents facteurs de répulsion pour leur pays d’origine et d’attraction pour le pays de destination permet d’esquisser les nouveaux visages des migrants portugais, plus qualifiés que leurs prédécesseurs, très informés sur les perspectives profession…
Portuguese Scientists’ Migration
In the economic and social aftermath of the 2008 crisis there has been an important and growing new wave of highly qualified Portuguese emigration comprising scientists. No or very few public policies have been designed to reverse this phenomenon, risking the consequences of brain drain. International literature argues that professional reasons are central to scientists’ decision to migrate, even after the 2008 crisis. Spending some time in a for…
A decisão de emigrar
This paper analyses the Portuguese high-skilled emigration, focusing on the emigration decision-making process. This article aims to understand the dispositions leading to this decision, and the social processes that explain its origin, sedimentation and activation. To this end, and using the theoretical and methodological approach of Bernard Lahire, 53 sociological portraits of skilled Portuguese who emigrated to other European countries are cro…
Brain drain and the disenchantment of being a higher education student in Portugal
The efforts made by most countries to accelerate economic development have included a significant investment in education. It has been argued that investment in education, particularly higher education, was itself a potential factor in economic development. Education has become a relatively easy means of improving access to the labour market. However, in Portugal, the recent trend has been reversed, and the country now faces a growing number of u…
Entre a periferia e o centro
Temos de fazer um cavalo de troia
O texto tem como objectivo discutir a diversidade de sentidos atribuídos à internacionalização na investigação e no ensino superior. A internacionalização tem sido objecto de inúmeras referências no âmbito das políticas de avaliação da qualidade do ensino e da investigação. Ao mesmo tempo, tem gerado várias interpretações tanto em seu favor como em seu desfavor. Procuramos perceber quais são as razões para que os atores organizacionais com mais p…
Ecos do tempo. A mobilidade de investigadores e estudantes brasileiros em Portugal
A investigação que apresentamos, de caráter exploratório, recaiu sobre histórias biográficas de brasileiros que escolhem Portugal para prosseguir formação e ou investigação. Procura-se encontrar na sua experiência elos de ligação explicativos sobre as motivações e os processos que os trazem para Portugal, assim como as expetativas e os projetos que comportam para os seus futuros e que incluem, ou não, este país. Temos em conta, especialmente, a f…
"Não há bela sem senão". A identificação organizacional, os comportamentos de dedicação ao trabalho e o conflito trabalho-família
Este estudo pretendeu analisar a influência da identificação organizacional na percepção de conflito trabalho-família do indivíduo, testando o papel mediador da dedicação ao trabalho. Este trabalho é inovador, na medida em que, na literatura, não se conhecem estudos que, de uma forma geral, avaliem as consequências da identificação organizacional para o indivíduo e, particularmente, o seu impacto na percepção de conflito trabalho-família. Por for…
Quem não arrisca não petisca? A psicologia e a investigação dos comportamentos face aos riscos
Vivemos numa sociedade em que os riscos que corremos estão cada vez mais mediatizados, e este artigo salienta alguns dos caminhos que a psicologia tem seguido para estudar a forma como encaramos estes riscos e como agimos face a eles. Depois de uma introdução geral sobre a percepção de riscos numa perspectiva psicológica, descrevem-se estudos realizados em Portugal sobre riscos que são geralmente banalizados (acidentes domésticos e acidentes de t…
Factores cognitivos associados a comportamentos de prevenção face a cheias (provocadas pelo rebentamento de barragens)
Segundo a teoria da adaptação cognitiva (Taylor, 1983, 1989) face a uma situação de ameaça, as pessoas desenvolvem ilusões de modo a manterem-se mentalmente saudáveis. Por outro lado, o modelo desenvolvido por Bandura (1977,1989) sugere que a crença específica de que se pode realizar um comportamento aumenta a probabilidade de se efetivar o mesmo. O estudo apresentado neste artigo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de compreender a utilização destes…
