A relação entre natureza e saúde tem ganho cada vez mais relevância nas investigações contemporâneas em ciências da saúde e sociais, humanidades, psicologia evolutiva e ambiental e arquitetura paisagista. Este estudo, desenvolvido no Hospital-Escola Fernando Pessoa, analisou as preferências, funcionalidades e expetativas de pacientes, familiares, profissionais de saúde e gestores relativamente à criação de um j...
In the twenty-first century, the interaction between humans and their ecological, sociocultural, and technological environment poses significant challenges, particularly regarding health and well-being. This paper contends that understanding these dynamics requires an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on the humanities, arts, social sciences, and health sciences. The "Composing Worlds" project addresses these...
Climate change (CC) is the greatest evidence of the "metamorphosis of the world" and is changing the temperature and rainfall patterns, but also the social, cultural and health systems on planet Earth. The unpredictability of climactic phenomena and their multidimensional impacts on human and environmental health contribute to making our understanding of the world increasingly difficult. Moreover, history has p...
As alterações climáticas (AC) são a maior evidência da “metamorfose do mundo” e estão a mudar os regimes de temperatura e de pluviosidade, mas também os sistemas sociais, culturais e de saúde no planeta Terra. A imprevisibilidade dos fenómenos climáticos e os seus impactes multidimensionais na saúde humana e ambiental contribuem para tornar a nossa compreensão do mundo cada vez mais difícil. Além disso, a histó...

A ciência e a academia vivem tempos desafiantes que obrigam a repensar o valor do conhecimento e da sua preservação. A publicação desenfreada, a fraude científica, as autorias indevidas, o plágio e a falta ou desconhecimento das questões de integridade – que antes de ser científica deve ser humana – permeiam as relações dentro e fora da academia.; Inserido no projeto "Composing worlds: humanities, well-being an...
The project “Composing worlds: humanities, health and well-being in the 21st century” aims to build a network of experts in the humanities, social and health sciences, who think about health and well-being in contemporary technological societies. The relevance of this project is based on the growing evidence that most of the problems that the 21st century will face, particularly in the area of health and well-b...
The biophilia hypothesis is critically approached in the context of evolutionary psychology, adaptation of the sensory systems and application to sustainable and urban planning, namely in the field of urban green spaces. From an evolutionary perspective, our biophilic tendencies are generally accepted and interpreted as an adaptation to natural environments, where the ability to connect with, and understand hab...
One of the main problems of the twenty-first century is climate change and its impacts on global health. Nonetheless, there is a certain optimism that is rooted in the new world opened up by the possibilities of technoscience, namely in the control of health and climatic and environmental hazards. But on the horizon of these possibilities, there are increasingly clear signs that technological and scientific nat...
Climate Change (CC) is the most noticeable evidence of the “Metamorphosis of the World” and it is changing regimes. The unpredictability of climate phenomena and their multidimensional impacts on human and environmental health has contributed to making our understanding of the world increasingly difficult. Furthermore, history proved that technoscience alone is not enough to deal with these issues. CC, diseases...
