In contrast to the international context of residential care and the preference for family based care, residential care in Portugal is the only option for most young people in the child protection system. Despite this, research in Portugal has yet to focus on Therapeutic Residential Care (TRC) and has rarely considered the narratives of young people. By adopting the conceptual framework proposed by Farmer et al...
Young people´s perspectives on service quality in Therapeutic Residential Care (TRC) are commonly excluded or overshadowed by those of adults which has led to calls for better youth self-report indicators of quality healthcare. In response, we performed a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to identify the most important quality indicators for young people by reviewing the literature on their beliefs ...
Background: Cancer is associated with high mortality rates and its incidence worldwide is increasing significantly [1]. Several therapeutic strategies have been used in cancer therapy such as microtu-bule-targeting agents [2]. However, these drugs are highly toxic and are associated with high tumor resistance, making their long-term use unfeasible [3,4]. Therefore, new small molecules that can overcome the disa...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2010-07-06; Charged-hadron transverse-momentum and pseudorapidity distributions in proton-proton collisions at √s=7TeV are measured with the inner tracking system of the CMS detector at the LHC. The charged-hadron yield is obtained by counting the number of reconstructed hits, hit pairs, and fully reconstructed cha...
