We illustrate how contemporary reprod…

Complementary and alternative medicine's occupational closure in Portuguese healthcare: Contradictions and challenges
This article analyses strategies of closure recently enacted by complementary and alternative medicine practitioners in order to achieve occupational control over work domains in healthcare, taking Portugal as an example. A combination of the neo-Weberian occupational closure theory of the professions and Abbott's jurisdictional vacancy theory is proposed as the framework for analysis. Acupuncture and homeopathy will be presented as case studies.…
Sexology in Portugal: Narratives by Portuguese Sexologists
This article presents the emergence and development of modern sexology in Portugal through the analysis of Portuguese sexologists' narratives, to explore how they commit to a professional identity as sexologists, and to discuss how they integrate their professional role into the vast multidisciplinary field of sexology. In-depth interviews were conducted with 44 key professionals, purposefully recruited to guarantee heterogeneity concerning gener…
Carbon and Water Footprints and Energy Use of Greenhouse Tomato Production in Northern Italy
This study reports on the carbon, water, and energy footprints of tomatoes grown in a greenhouse in Northern Italy and two possible future variations of heating and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) fertilization on the current setup. The heat supply in place, consisting of natural gas (NG) and canola oil combustion, is compared to cogeneration and incineration of municipal solid waste for heating and CO 2 from industrial exhaust for fertilization. As a ben…

Flutuações e diferenças de género no desenvolvimento da orientação sexual: Perspectivas teóricas
Neste trabalho pretendemos realizar uma revisão teórica das principais investigações sobre transições e flutuações na orientação sexual, dando especial relevo aos estudos de Lisa Diamond sobre as transições na identidade, comportamentos e atracções.

Sustainability in Development Cooperation: Preliminary Findings on the Carbon Footprint of Development Aid Organizations
This study assesses for the first time the environmental sustainability of development organizations involved in North–South cooperation by quantifying the carbon footprint as a widely adopted indicator. Our objectives are to (1) analyze the criteria that should be met for correct greenhouse gas accounting of development organizations, (2) gain insight into the emission profile for a limited sample of development organizations from Belgium and Ge…
The differential incorporation of CAM into the medical establishment: The case of acupuncture and homeopathy in Portugal
This paper examines the differential incorporation of acupuncture and homeopathy into the medical establishment in Portugal. While the former has been incorporated into the medical establishment, the latter is still banned by the Medical Council, yet remains in practice by medical doctors in the country. Drawing on the insider viewpoints of medical doctors committed to these two therapies, the findings of this paper suggest that the rhetoric of i…
