The Cook’s Knowledge in Nineteenth-Century Scientific Expeditions
Hidden in the margins: The overlooked artists of 19th-century travel illustrations
Nineteenth-century travelogues significantly influenced how European audiences perceived distant colonial territories, their landscapes, and the peoples inhabiting them. While textual information was important, illustrations complemented the physical descriptions and helped readers visualise what explorers observed with their own eyes while in the field. Yet, the artists behind these images – the drafting technicians, illustrators, engravers, lit…
The role of social support in the link between well-being and dropout intention in higher education students: A moderated mediation approach
Higher education can pose significant challenges for students, including the need to adapt to new academic environments and social dynamics. These challenges may affect their well-being and increase the likelihood of dropping out. This study explores social support as a mediating mechanism through which well-being influences dropout intention among higher education students—that is, higher levels of well-being may lead to more positive perception…

Responding to grief-related needs in older adults: Protocol for a community-based matched-care trial (GriefDiff)
Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) affects a significant proportion of bereaved people and may be especially burdensome in later life, when cumulative losses, health problems, and reduced social resources can hinder adjustment. Grief support is often reactive, and many older adults do not access timely, appropriate care. GriefDiff will study a differentiated, community-based model that matches intervention intensity and format to individual risk and …

“I could not give him the funeral he deserved”: The role of alternative mourning rituals during the pandemic
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, measures were enforced that constrained people's ability to engage in conventional funeral and mourning rituals, which in general serve as vital mechanisms for coping with the experience of loss. This study aimed to investigate how these limitations affected early grief symptoms and the influence of alternative mourning rituals (paying tribute on social media, lighting candles in memory of the deceased, and using objec…
The willow (Salix sp.) toothpicks from the Cistercian Monastery of Lorvão (Penacova, Portugal)
In Portugal, the tradition of handmade white willow (Salix alba L.) toothpicks began in the Cistercian Monastery of Lorvão (Penacova), in an uncertain date during the 17th century. After the suppression of all monastic orders (1834), people from Lorvão continued this craft and, later, this parish became the main Portuguese center of the toothpick industry, an activity that still flourishes today. Handmade toothpicks, following ancient methods, ar…

Fig tree (Ficus carica L.) art in the Azores (Portugal)
The art made with white heartwood slices obtained from the young branches of the fig tree (Ficus carica L.) is found only in the Azores (Portugal). It probably began in the convents of nuns, during the XVII century, and soon after the secularization of these institutions continued to be done by artisans. This exquisite traditional art produces light and delicate pieces, and it is now kept by few artisans
Straw embroideries in Azores (Portugal)
Wheat or rye straw embroideries, typical of the island of Faial (Azores), are the ultimate representatives of a European craft very popular in the XIX century.

However, with the daily updates of COVID-19 cases and deaths, \nthe confrontation with human mortality and physical fragility is unavoidable. Over 100 million \nconfirmed cases and over 2 million confirmed deaths worldwide have been recorded (2). The \nCOVID-19 pandemic is a health crisis unprecedented in conte…
In the Same Storm, but Not on the Same Boat”: Children Grief During the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 has profoundly shaken the world and changed the lives of children and families. \nPeople around the world are mourning a sense of freedom, normalcy, and routine. However, \nalthough in the same “storm,” children are not on the same boat as adults. Children may \nbe at a higher risk for mental health effects, given their limited capacity to understand their \nsurroundings, cope with stressors, and control their environments. In fact, rese…

Place, gender and the making of natural history: Hannah im Thurn in British Guiana, 1895–1897
Global Affinities: The Natural Method and Anomalous Plants in the Nineteenth Century
Approaching from an analysis of the work of Robert Brown (1773-1858) and Friedrich Welwitsch (1806–1872) on Rafflesia and Welwitschia, this article explores how the “natural method” became a tool for understanding extra-European flora in the nineteenth century. As botanists worked to detect “hidden affinities” between plants that would enable them to identify the so-called natural families to which even anomalous species belonged, they relied on …
