Geodiversity and resilience: A scoping review
Resilience thinking has become central to addressing environmental and societal challenges, yet it focuses primarily on ecological and social dimensions while physical foundations remain underrepresented. This systematic scoping review examined 90 geodiversity and geoheritage studies (2012–2025) analysing connections to resilience concepts. While most reviewed studies lack explicit resilience frameworks, they demonstrate extensive implicit resili…
(Dis)entangling (non)violence in resistance: Four areas of contestation
Both ‘violence’ and ‘nonviolence’ are contested terms. Naming ‘violence’ or ‘nonviolence’ in resistance struggles can often be at the core of what the struggle is about. Such contestations are therefore inevitably inherently political and normative, never just scientific or theoretical. This article demonstrates this by discussing four areas of contestation of these terms: firstly in the variety of phenomena that can be labelled ‘violence’; secon…
A Transmissão Da Sífilis No Amazonas: A Questão Da Acessibilidade Ao Serviço De Saúde
A sífilis apresenta-se como uma das Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) mais incidentes no Brasil (78,5 casos/100.000 habitantes) e no estado do Amazonas (109,5 casos/100.000 habitantes). É causada pela bactéria Treponema pallidum, pertencente ao grupo das espiroquetas. No estado do Amazonas a incidência dessa IST é ainda maior em comparação ao cenário nacional, exigindo uma melhor análise dos aspectos da saúde na região, principalmente os…

Learning from Accidents: Spatial Intelligence Applied to Road Accidents with Insights from a Case Study in Setúbal District, Portugal
Road traffic accidents are a major concern for modern society with a high toll on human life and involve hard to account economic consequences. New knowledge can be obtained from combining GIS tools with machine learning and artificial intelligence, developing what is, in this work, identified as spatial intelligence. This approach is tested in a case study of Setúbal district, Portugal, for the period of 2016 to 2019. Departing from a heatmap an…
Formative Assessment of Social-Emotional Skills Using Rubrics: A Review of Knowns and Unknowns
Educational practitioners have been increasingly interested in the use of formative assessment and rubrics to develop social-emotional skills in children and adolescents. Although social-emotional rubrics are nowadays commonly used, a thorough evaluation of their psychometric properties has not been conducted. In this scoping review, we examine the knowns and unknowns of the use of formative assessment approaches and rubrics in social-emotional l…
Development and psychometric properties of rubrics for assessing social-emotional skills in youth
Social-emotional skill assessment in children and adolescents: Advances and challenges in personality, clinical, and educational contexts.
The development and promotion of social-emotional skills in childhood and adolescence contributes to subsequent well-being and positive life outcomes. However, the assessment of these skills is associated with conceptual and methodological challenges. This review discusses how social-emotional skill measurement in youth could be improved in terms of skills' conceptualization and classification, and in terms of assessment techniques and methodolog…
Resemblance in physical activity levels: The Portuguese sibling study on growth, fitness, lifestyle, and health
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationships of biological, behavioral, familial, and environmental characteristics with siblings ́ physical activity (PA) levels as well as the intrapair resemblance in PA. METHODS: The sample comprises 834 (390 females) biological siblings [brother-brother (BB), sister-sister (SS), brother-sister (BS)] aged 9 to 20 years. Total PA index (TPAI) was estimated by questionnaire. Information on potential behavioral, f…
The concept of human nature in Noam Chomsky
One of the constants in Noam Chomsky’s philosophical, linguistic and ethical positions is the existence of what he calls “human nature”. Following Marx, Darwin and last century’s revolutions in the social sciences, human nature has been one of the most contested conceptual holdovers from modern European philosophy. Chomsky’s discoveries and models on syntax and language make up one of the frameworks to most critically offset the traditional moral…
The Impact of Daycare Attendance on Math Test Scores for a Cohort of Fourth Graders in Brazil
We estimate the impact of having attended centre-based daycare institutions during early childhood on math test scores at the fourth grade level of elementary school. We find evidence that daycare attendance has a net impact on math proficiency, and that the effects are heterogeneous. The effect of daycare and kindergarten attendance on proficiency varies according to mother’s education. The effects of the impact of daycare vary from −0.28 standa…
Relationship between Sedentariness and Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity in Youth: A Multivariate Multilevel Study
This study aimed to jointly analyse moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentariness, and their correlates, in children within their school contexts, using a multivariate multilevel approach. The sample comprises 499 Portuguese children (284 girls) from 23 schools. MVPA and sedentary time were estimated by accelerometer. A set of predictor variables from both child and school levels was tested. Overall, schools explained a small am…
Multilevel modelling of somatotype components: The Portuguese sibling study on growth, fitness, lifestyle and health
These results highlight the significant familial effects on somatotype and the complexity of the role of familial resemblance in explaining variance in somatotypes
Height, weight, body composition, and waist circumference references for 7- to 17-year-old children from rural Portugal
Variability and Stability in Daily Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity among 10 Year Old Children
Day-to-day variability and stability of children's physical activity levels across days of the week are not well understood. Our aims were to examine the day-to-day variability of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), to determine factors influencing the day-to-day variability of MVPA and to estimate stability of MVPA in children. The sample comprises 686 Portuguese children (10 years of age). MVPA was assessed with an accelerometer, and…
A Count Model to Study the Correlates of 60 Min of Daily Physical Activity in Portuguese Children
This study aimed to present data on Portuguese children (aged 9-11 years) complying with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) guidelines, and to identify the importance of correlates from multiple domains associated with meeting the guidelines. Physical activity (PA) was objectively assessed by accelerometry throughout seven days on 777 children. A count model using Poisson regression was used to identify the best set of correlates that …
Encontro entre pobreza e moral em Luanda. Urbanização, direitos e violência
O artigo apresenta uma análise da questão urbana da capital angolana, com base em duas pesquisas feitas ao final dos anos 1980, uma sobre a economia paralela em Angola, mais especificamente em sua capital, Luanda; outra sobre as políticas de urbanização da periferia africana, ao sul do Saara, assim como novas pesquisas realizadas entre 2006 e 2010 voltadas, desta vez, à compreensão da nova realidade, passados 20 anos, e à descrição e análise das …
Correlates of sedentary time in children: A multilevel modelling approach
Notwithstanding the relevance of the school environment in the reduction of children's sedentary time, individual and family characteristics played a more relevant role than the school context in this study
Clustering of body composition, blood pressure and physical activity in Portuguese families
The results suggest familial resemblance in the variation of body fat, BP and TPA, showing partial pleiotropic effects in the variation in body fat phenotypes and BP. TPA only shares common environmental influences with BP and body fat traits
(Re)penser la démocratie et la la société en Angola
La construction de la nation angolaise se caractérise par deux éléments essentiels qui constituent en même temps la base permanente de son unité: ladifférence comme recherche nécessaire d'une identité culturelle, fondement élémentaire de la création et du développement d'institutions nationales propres, et le différend, qui présuppose la possibilité et les principes qui doivent régir l'élaboration et l'application d'un projet social, national et …
