Social dominance orientation (SDO) is considered one of the most important measures to study intergroup attitudes and behavior and how hierarchical social systems are maintained. In this study (N = 313) we assessed the psychometric proprieties of the European-Portuguese version of the SDO7 scale...
Online hate speech has profound implications for society, with migrants as primary targets. Underreporting by victims and bystanders obscures the true extent, indirectly legitimizing these crimes. To assess bystander intervention in online hate speech against immigrants, we developed a scale based on the five steps of the bystander intervention model. In Study 1 (N = 294), exploratory and confirmatory factor an...
Purpose: Plant-based analogues (PBAs) simulate animal-based foods’ attributes and can facilitate adherence to flexitarian and vegetarian dietary patterns, which have been associated with health benefits. However, possibly classifying PBAs as ultra-processed (UPF) and excluding healthy animal-based foods (e.g., fish) can result in unintended health risks. This study aims to quantify the health and environmental ...
Flavonoids are a key class of polyphenols, i.e., phytochemical compounds present in foods and beverages, which have been described as having health benefits in preventing several chronic diseases. Estimating flavonoid intake has already been conducted in several countries but has yet to be performed in Portugal. This study included 5005 participants aged 3–84 years and aimed to estimate dietary flavonoid intake...

Os tumores neuroendócrinos (TNEs) são as neoplasias pulmonares primárias mais comuns. O diagnóstico pode ser desafiante, pois as manifestações clínicas são geralmente subtis e as alterações imagiológicas inespecíficas. Apesar da sua natureza indolente, os TNEs têm potencial metastático e podem causar morbilidade significativa. O diagnóstico precoce é fundamental para uma abordagem otimizada, uma vez que a resse...
Introduction: Musical intervention (MI) is a valuable strategy for addressing the psychological and emotional challenges faced by patients undergoing imaging procedures. This study explores MI's impact on psychophysiological outcomes during imaging procedures, detailing the sound repertoire and technical characteristics employed in MI. Methods: A systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) were conducted. Ele...
