Genetic regulation of body size and morphology in children: a twin study of 22 ...

Anthropometric measures show high heritability, and genetic correlations have been found between obesity related traits. However, we lack a comprehensive analysis of the genetic background of human body morphology using detailed anthropometric measures. METHODS: Height, weight, 7 skinfold thicknesses, 7 body circumferences and 4 body diameters (skeletal breaths) were measured in 214 pairs of twin children aged ...

Development of Plan S monitoring and compliance tool in the context of PTCRIS f...

The Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) has endorsed Plan-S since early 2021 and it is working towards implementing its obligations. To ensure an effective fulfillment of its open science policies, FCT is implementing a new monitoring and compliance tool, that will enforce the compliance with Plan-S as well as the new FCT’s open access (OA) policy. This paper details FCT’s approach to impleme...

Genetics of somatotype and physical fitness in children and adolescents

Objectives: To analyze the influence of genetic and environmental factors on the variation in somatotype, physical fitness, and their mutual associations. Methods: Twins from 214 pairs (87 monozygotic) of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Portugal, from 3 to 18 years of age (51% girls) were assessed in anthropometry and physical fitness tests. We estimated endomorphy, meso morphy, and ectomorphy based on anthro...

Citizens’ survey for the implementation of a new means of transport

Between 2017 and 2018, a survey was carried out in Coimbra (Portugal) on the implementation of a new mass transport system. The analysis of this survey looks into the opinion regarding two key questions: the need for this new mode of transport, and how much support is behind investing to implement. The application of Ordered Logit Models has led to identify the variables that best explain the answers to these k...

Implicações das Empresas de Segurança Privadas nas Operações Militares

A provisão da violência armada por parte de privados é algo que existe desde sempre. Vestefália mudou o paradigma centrando a legitimidade no estado-nação e nos exércitos do povo. O fim da Guerra Fria, com o desinvestimento nas Forças Armadas, o recrudescer do número de conflitos e o surgimento do conceito de New Public Management fazem novamente renascer este mercado. Assim, entidades privadas organizam-se pro...

A Telemedicina Aplicada na Avaliação do Pessoal da Marinha

A Telemedicina tem evoluído ao longo dos anos com o aparecimento de novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, promovendo igualdade de cuidados de saúde, eliminando fatores como a distância e falta de profissionais de saúde especializados. Em Portugal a Telemedicina teve maior impacto nos anos noventa, com fortes investimentos em novos projetos. Esta atividade médica é exercida à distância, incluindo o diag...

Multiobjective Approach to Long-Term Interurban Multilevel Road Network Planning

This article presents a multiobjective approach to long-term interurban multilevel road network planning. In addition to the efficiency objectives dealt with in most of the literature where the subject is addressed, the approach takes into account robustness and equity objectives. For achieving the objectives, two types of action can be performed: the construction of a new road of a given level; and the upgradi...

Integrating Equity Objectives in a Road Network Design Model

The traditional approach to the road network design problem focuses on the optimization of network efficiency under a given budget. Generally, this leads to the improvement of roads next to the largest population centers, where travel demand is higher. Such results are not consistent with sustainable development principles, since the dissimilarities between the welfare of large and small centers will tend to in...
