Associating Dietary Sustainability with Health
This study aims to explore the relationship between the Diet Sustainability Score (DSS) and health outcomes, specifically body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Using data from 2287 Portuguese adults in the National Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF 2015-2016), DSS was calculated based on four dimensions: health-related nutritional attributes, environmental impact, economic affordability, and sociocultural acc…
Dietary intake according to different patterns of food preparation in children and adults
Objective: To investigate associations between dietary intake and patterns of food preparation by age group. Design: This cross-sectional study analysed dietary intake data from the most recent Portuguese National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. Cluster analysis categorised dietary intake based on the source of food preparation. Regression models were used to study the association between dietary daily intake, Healthy Eating Score (…
Análise sobre a variação linguística nas questões do Enem
Este artigo resultou de uma pesquisa realizada pelo Grupo de Pesquisa e Estudos em Educação, Linguagem e Práxis Pedagógica, do Instituto Federal de Educação Ciências e Tecnologia (IFBA/Campus Jequié). A proposta foi analisar, à luz da Sociolinguística (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2004; 2005; 2008), o funcionamento das questões de Língua Portuguesa nas provas do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM), dos anos 2010 a 2016. Após esse levantamento, foi elaborad…
A Qualitative Approach to Understanding Canadian Healthcare Workers’ Use of Coping Strategies during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers (HCWs) have been exposed to highly stressful situations, including increased workloads and exposure to mortality, thus posing a risk for adverse psychological outcomes, including acute stress, moral injury, and depression or anxiety symptoms. Although several reports have sought to identify the types of coping strategies used by HCWs over the course of the pandemic (e.g., physical activity, rel…
The Hidden Crisis
Understanding broad categories of PMIES experienced by Canadian HCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to enhance cultural competency surrounding their experiences which will aid the development of targeted prevention and intervention approaches
Moral Injury, Chaplaincy and Mental Health Provider Approaches to Treatment
The aim of this research was to describe the evidence examining the approaches taken by mental health providers (MHPs) and chaplains to address symptoms related to moral injury (MI) or exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs). This research also considers the implications for a holistic approach to address symptoms related to MI that combines mental health and chaplaincy work. A scoping review of literature was conducted using Med…
Climate regulation ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation are enhanced differently by climate- and fire-smart landscape management
The implementation of climate-smart policies to enhance carbon sequestration and reduce emissions is being encouraged worldwide to fight climate change. Afforestation practices and rewilding initiatives are climate-smart examples suggested to tackle these issues. In contrast, fire-smart approaches, by stimulating traditional farmland activities or agroforestry practices, could also assist climate regulation while protecting biodiversity. However,…
School lunch nutritional adequacy
Objective: To determine nutritional adequacy of school lunch and to assess the impact of food waste on nutrient intake of primary schoolchildren. Design: The weighing method was used for evaluating initial servings and plate waste for lunch. Energy and nutritional contents of meals served, consumed and wasted were estimated using the software Food Processor Plus. The mean nutritional value of food served and consumed was compared with dietary gui…
On the Politics of Ugliness
Ugliness or unsightliness is much more than a quality or property of an individual's appearance - it has long functioned as a social category that demarcates access to social, cultural, and political spaces and capital. The editors of and authors in this collection harness intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches in order to examine ugliness as a political category that is deployed to uphold established notions of worth and entitlement. It…

Strategies to reduce plate waste in primary schools – experimental evaluation
Objective To determine and compare the effect of two interventions in reducing the plate waste of school lunches. Design A between-group analysis was conducted among children from three primary schools: (i) a group receiving intervention A, designed for children and focusing on nutrition education and food waste; (ii) a group receiving intervention B, intended for teachers and focusing on the causes and consequences of food waste; and (iii) a con…
Dietary availability in elderly Portuguese households
Objective To identify dietary availability and its time trends in elderly Portuguese households. Design A set of four cross-sectional studies based on the Household Budget Surveys was used. The dietary data were described using the daily per capita availability of food and beverages, energy and selected nutrients (macronutrients, different lipid fractions and simple sugars). Differences between elderly household types and time trends were studied…
Cinema documentário e autobiografia
Neste texto, objetivamos discutir a relação entre memória social e autobiografia a partir do filme Jogo de Cena, documentário realizado pelo cineasta Eduardo Coutinho, que tem como fio condutor o diálogo entre realidade e ficção a partir de depoimentos pessoais (baseados em trajetórias de vida) contados espontaneamente por mulheres comuns e recontados pela encenação de atrizes. Jogo de Cena constrói uma narrativa intencionalmente ambígua ao despe…
A woman’s “right to know”? Forced ultrasound measures as an intervention of biopower
This article examines the recent introduction of forced ultrasound-beforeabortion measures in select U.S. states as an intervention of gendered biopower. These measures are drafted based on model legislation entitled the Woman’s Right to Know Act. Such legislation exploits a discourse of women’s health, but invests in fetal “life” by regulating the behavior of pregnant women so as to promote the carrying of pregnancies to term; the legislation al…
From vaginal exception to exceptional vagina
Female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) refers to a group of procedures designed to alter the aesthetics or ‘function’ of women’s genital anatomy. This article analyzes the biopolitics of FGCS, opening up for discussion the relationship between biopolitics and vaginas. I theorize the biopolitics of FGCS in terms of how these procedures discipline individual bodies, demarcate and regulate a population defined by its vulval aesthetics, and ultimatel…
Undressing Homogeneity
This article deconstructs the “diversity paradox” in the series How to Look Good Naked. Although it promotes body acceptance for all women, the series relies on ideologically constructed conventions of beauty that confound its agenda. Ultimately, the series attempts to rearticulate the trope of transformation by inciting candidates to self-govern
