Development and validation of a new scale to assess motivations for fostering
Alves, Stephanie; Camilo, Cláudia; Pereira, Luísa; Grangeia, Helena; Rodrigues, Leonor Bettencourt; Negrão, Mariana; Ornelas, Sandra; Soares, IsabelThis study examined the psychometric properties of a newly developed scale to assess motivations for fostering. A total of 447 Portuguese adults completed online the MIAF–Motivations for Fostering Scale (MIAF-MFS; ProChild CoLAB & SCML, 2024) and reported on sociodemographic data, perceived knowledge about family foster care, and intention of becoming a foster family. The exploratory and confirmatory factor ana...
Perceptions about family foster care and intention of becoming a foster family:...
Alves, Stephanie; Camilo, Cláudia; Pereira, Luísa; Correia, Madalena; Araújo, Kamila; Ornelas, Sandra; Justo, Mariana; Grangeia, Helena; Negrão, MarianaFamily foster care (FFC) is associated with positive developmental outcomes for children. However, the recruitment and retention of foster families prepared to respond to children's needs are a cross-cutting challenge worldwide and require a better understanding of which factors may influence it. This study analysed the associations between personal characteristics, perceptions about FFC and intention of becomi...
Developmental predictors of mathematics achievement at the end of Year 1
Martins, Sara; Araújo, Carolina A.; Fonseca, Marisa; Baptista, Joana; Martins, CarlaAbstract: This study examined the predictive role of child cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioural dimensions assessed at the age of 4½, as well as of the traditional variables related to academic school readiness before the entry to primary school, on mathematics achievement at the end of Year 1. A sample of 58 Portuguese children and their parents participated in this longitudinal study. Initial correla...
The All4Children project to assess the initial implementation of the Integrated...
Baptista, Joana; Grangeia, Helena; Negrão, Mariana; Camilo, Cláudia; Ornelas, Sandra; Nogueira, Sandra; Pastor, Isabel; Gaspar, Ana; Soares, IsabelBackground: The All4Children project addresses the urgent need to transition from institutionalization to family-based care for out-of-home children in Portugal. Despite evidence highlighting the detrimental effects of institutionalization, only a small percentage of children (less than 4%) are currently placed in family foster care in the country. In response to European directives for deinstitutionalization, ...
Ground surface temperature regimes are controlled by the topography and snow co...
Baptista, Joana; Vieira, Gonçalo; Lee, HyoungseokGround Surface Temperature (GST) is especially relevant in permafrost regions, such as the ice-free areas of the Antarctic Peninsula, to the understanding of environmental changes, where a long-term warming trend has been detected since 1950. To better understand GST regimes and the topoclimatic controlling factors, 20 iButtons were installed at sites according to elevation, exposure, curvature, and proximity t...
Increasing the energy density of carbon-based supercapacitors operating in aque...
Baptista, JoanaNesta tese, usaram-se duas estratégias para tentar aumentar a densidade de energia de supercondensadores constituídos por elétrodos de carbono e um eletrólito aquoso. Primeiro, eletrodepositou-se polióxido de fenileno nos elétrodos, para tentar suprimir as reações parasitas que limitam a sua janela de estabilidade. Embora as correntes catódicas não tenham sido afetadas pelo polímero, este diminuiu as correntes ...
A INVESTIGAÇÃO EM GEOGRAFIA FÍSICA EM PORTUGAL.
Fernandes, Raquel; Silva, Tiago; Castro, Andry; Baptista, Joana; Gonçalves, Ana; Vieira, GonçaloNo século XXI, a implementação da educação doutoral em Geografia resultou num aumento do número de teses enquadradas na especialização em Geografia Física. No entanto, pouco é conhecido sobre a dinâmica inerente às técnicas de trabalho de campo, métodos e temas estudados. Com o objetivo de compreender melhor a tendência de aumento e evolução associada, este artigo analisa os 78 doutoramentos publicados em cinco...

Controlling parenting and executive functioning in children born preterm
Toscano, Carolina; Sá, Cindy; Baptista, Joana; Moutinho, Vanessa; Soares, IsabelThis study investigated the relations between mothers’ and fathers’ controlling behaviors and the executive functioning of children born preterm. Sixty-eight preterm children and their parents were assessed when the children were 3 ½ years old. The executive functioning was measured using the Head-to-Toes-Task and controlling parenting behaviors were measured through a standardized observation of a parent-child...
