Objective: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was previously associated with psychopathological symptoms. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying these associations are largely unexplored. Previous studies suggested associations between metacognitive abilities (e.g., mastery) and symptomatology, which may have impacts on COVID-19 perceptions. This study aims to explore, using path analysi...
ABSTRACT: The El Molinar slide is a translational slide that affects Upper Miocene marls near the city of Alcoy (Alicante, SE Spain). In this study, the stability of this landslide is studied focusing on the effect of variations of the water table within slide body and the possible effect of maximum expected earthquake in a 475 year return period. The results obtained shown that the water table is the main vari...
Black scabbardfish, Aphanopus carbo, is a commercially important species that takes distant migrations throughout its life cycle. Sex steroids were measured by radioimmunoassay in the blood plasma of specimens caught off the Madeira Archipelago and mainland Portugal to link this species migratory path with its reproductive cycle. Furthermore, a pilot study using Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) was ...
Analysis of abundance and population structure of Plesionika narval was performed on data concerning 5,255 specimens obtained from 62 fishing sets carried out off the Madeira archipelago (Northeastern Atlantic) between 2004 and 2008 in a depth range from 101 to 350 m. Abundance ranged from 0.01 to 19.74 specimens-per-trap and significant differences were found between seasons, probably as a result of an increme...
The activity of the Portuguese fishing fleet operating near seamounts of the Madeira Tore geologic complex was analyzed. The main objective is to identify the different fisheries taking place in the area, characterize the spatial patterns of vessels activity and estimate the fishing intensity, thus contributing to better inform management decisions. Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and e-logbook data for the peri...
Several experimental surveys were carried out in the Northeastern Atlantic, Madeira archipelago from 1991 to 2008 to explore new fisheries resources. This study examined the selectivity of bottom and floating traps and the analysis of yield-per-recruit (YPR) and biomass-per-recruit (BPR) providing helpful insight to the management of the shrimp Plesionika narval. A total of 28,262 specimens were sampled and the...

La ocurrencia de inestabilidades de ladera inducidas por terremotos es conocida en España y Portugal desde épocas remotas. Durante las últimas décadas, varios grupos de investigación han realizado estudios al respecto que han permitido recopilar información sobre este fenómeno. En este trabajo se presenta una revisión de las aportaciones realizadas y se presenta una base de datos elaborada a partir de tales con...
