Conceptual model for the management of peri-urban natural areas: Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Portugal
This paper aims to frame nature tourism within the multifunctionality of peri-urban natural areas, based on empirical research on three habitat management territories with specific conservation goals. This analysis justified the application of an original survey among visitors and semi-structured interviews with management stakeholders with direct or indirect responsibilities in these territories. The results reinforce the importance of adequate …
Is there a long-term relationship between tourism inflows and waste generation? A seasonal cointegration approach
Most likely tourism and waste generation go hand in hand, particularly in economies dominated by tourism-related activities. This paper examines whether a sustained relationship exists between tourism measures such as the number of guests or total overnight stays, and waste generation on São Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal), using a seasonal cointegration method. This empirical approach is suitable given the high seasonality of tourism in many de…

Occupational Exposure to Incidental Nanomaterials in Metal Additive Manufacturing: An Innovative Approach for Risk Management
The benefits of metal 3D printing seem unquestionable. However, this additive manufacturing technology brings concerns to occupational safety and health professionals, since recent studies show the existence of airborne nanomaterials in these workplaces. This article explores different approaches to manage the risk of exposure to these incidental nanomaterials, on a case study conducted in a Portuguese organization using Selective Laser Melting (…
The Resilience of Tourism Recreation Companies in a Pandemic Context: The Case of Canyoning in the Azores
The COVID-19 pandemic had an enormous impact on the tourism sector. Economies with a large weight of external tourism were especially affected, as was the case with the Azores region. This paper aims to analyse the level of this crisis and the resilience of tourism recreation companies specializing in canyoning in the Azores region, and whether these reactions led to more sustainable business models. The adopted methodology considered the analysi…

Occupational Exposure to Ultrafine Particles in Metal Additive Manufacturing: A Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Assessment
Ultrafine particles (UFPs) can be released unintentionally during metal additive manufacturing (AM). Experts agree on the urgent need to increase the knowledge of the emerging risk of exposure to nanoparticles, although different points of view have arisen on how to do so. This article presents a case study conducted on a metal AM facility, focused on studying the exposure to incidental metallic UFP. It intends to serve as a pilot study on the ap…
Tirem as Crianças Do Sofá: Ressonâncias Biopolíticas Em Discursos Sobre O Sedentarismo Infantil
Este texto tem como objetivo investigar discursos acerca do sedentarismo infantil, visando analisar o funcionamento de estratégias biopolíticas que constroem um saber sobre a criança sedentária e intervêm sobre corpo infantil, de maneira a controlá-lo e inseri-lo no raio de atuação de um poder que se volta para a regulação da vida. Para tanto, partimos das teorizações de Michel Foucault acerca do biopoder e da biopolítica, bem como do discurso, d…
O nacional e o comum no ensino médio: Autonomia docente na organização do trabalho pedagógico
Há pelo menos duas condições iminentes nos momentos de materialização da Base Nacional Comum Curricular no que se refere à autonomia de docentes do ensino médio na organização do trabalho pedagógico: 1) adesão das instituições de ensino ao conceito de “comum” tomado como sinônimo de nacional; 2) expropriação da autonomia intelectual dos profissionais da educação nos processos de seleção curricular, visando às avaliações de larga escala. Trata-se …

Fitness and metabolic syndrome in obese fatty liver children
Obese-fit children with abnormal ALT values have a significant reduction in the likelihood to be classified as having MS, even after adjustments for gender, maturation and BMI, Thus, CRF might be an important factor for tackling fatty liver among obese
Toward a richer view of the scientific method: The role of conceptual analysis
Within the complex set of activities that comprise the scientific method, three clusters of activities can be recognized: experimentation, mathematization, and conceptual analysis. In psychology, the first two of these clusters are well-known and valued, but the third seems less known and valued. The authors show the value of these three clusters of scientific method activities in the works of the quintessential scientist Galileo Galilei. They th…
