Uma realidade bastante comum entre os universitários no sistema académico vigente é o alto índice de perturbações mentais, que se registam no âmbito da graduação e, cada vez mais frequente, em estudantes de pós-graduação. As cobranças diversas da vida académica e a competitividade inerente ao ambiente universitário estão constantemente a desafiar a saúde mental dos estudantes, resultando em perturbações psíquic...
Objectives: This research aimed to determine the state of the art of health promotion actions in higher education institutions of European Union member countries. Methods:Toachievetheproposedobjective, an integrative literature review was conducted. The collection of analyzed articles was carried out across four databases and a data compilation, where studies published between 2016 and 2022 were reviewed. The a...
Properly validated high-quality Finite Element (FE) models with experimental tests permit an accurate description of the load-deformation path and stress state of steel joints and are nowadays accepted as “experimental results”. Changes to the design of welded joints in Eurocode 3 are currently proposed that affect the resistance and stiffness of the components associated with the column web panel. This paper p...
At the beginning of 2024, we take stock of the scientific progress of RevSALUS – RACS’ International Scientific Journal (Lusophone Academic Network of Health Sciences) we thank all those who have played a key role in another successful year for the journal, and we look ahead to the goals we want to achieve. As in the previous year, in 2023, RevSALUS published three regular issues, as well as two supplementary i...
The design of pin connections between steel members has been established for many years in design codes. However, recently, in the scope of the revision of Eurocode 3, Part 1–8 (EN 1993–1-8), questions were raised concerning the safety of the corresponding design verifications. This paper identifies two main aspects that require revision, namely: (i) the possibility to design a pin as a bolt in shear and (ii) t...
Learning effect occurs when the best performance is not achieved at the earliest trial of a repeated protocol of evaluation. The present study examined, within testing session, the intra-individual variation in an isokinetic strength protocol composed of five reciprocal concentric and eccentric contractions of knee extensors (KE) and knee flexors (KF) among male adolescent swimmers. Additionally, test-retest re...
Skeletal age (SA) is an estimate of biological maturity status that is commonly used in sport-related medical examinations. This study considered intra-observer reproducibility and inter-observer agreement of SA assessments among male tennis players.
Background Skeletal age (SA) is an estimate of biological maturity status that is commonly used in sport-related medical examinations. This study considered intra-observer reproducibility and inter-observer agreement of SA assessments among male tennis players. Methods SA was assessed with the Fels method in 97 male tennis players with chronological ages (CA) spanning 8.7–16.8 years. Radiographs were evaluated ...
