Cuidadores Informais em Portugal: Formação ao longo da vida

A obra que se apresenta, surgiu após desenvolvimento de dois cursos de formação conducentes a microcredenciali, no âmbito da capacitação de equipas de profissionais de referência que trabalham quotidianamente com cuidadores informais e também da capacitação destes mesmos cuidadores. O desenvolvimento destes cursos decorreu após identificação de necessidades de formação especificas, pela Escola Superior de Saúde...

Fingerprinting ceramics from the chalcolithic Santa Vitória Enclosure (SW Iberia)

The Santa Vitória Chalcolithic site (southern Portugal) prompts several questions related to the provenance and production technology of artefacts. Archaeological ceramics from two sections of Ditch 1 of the Santa Vitória site were studied by neutron activation analysis and X-ray diffraction for the first time, with the main goal of contributing to the contextualization of the artefacts and better understanding...

Mapping of trace elements on the island of sal (cape verde) and blood concentra...

Geochemical mapping provides a set of information that allows easy interpretation and helps in decision-making on public policies that address a balance between health, environment and economy of a country. The Sal island (Cape Verde) has an area of 216 km2. In this study, 60 topsoil samples were collected, corresponding to a density of 1/7 km2. Chemical analysis, including analytical quality control, was carri...

Rare earth elements - Source and evolution in an aquatic system dominated by mi...

Acid mine drainage (AMD), formed by the instability of sulfides, typically generates acidity and releases potentially toxic elements and sulfate to the environment, among other pollutants. An example is the group of rare earth elements (REE) that may have high toxic behavior. This toxicity leads to degradation of soils, water reservoirs and rivers, promoting serious risks for the ecosystems. So, the main goal o...

Fingerprinting pre-historical symbolic artefacts by a non-destructive methodolo...

A contribution to the discussion about Vila Nova de São Pedro (VNSP) as a production centre of symbolic lithic artefacts, the origin of raw materials, as well the comparison with similar artefacts from other Chalcolithic sites are the major goals. For the first time, non-destructive analytical methods were employed to obtain a detailed chemical characterization of these remarkable artefacts. The results point t...

Thorium and Uranium distribution in a passive system for mine water treatment

The abandoned Jales mining area is a sulphide-rich deposit (Northeast of Portugal). Acid mine drainage resulted from oxidation of sulphides is treated in a passive system with wetlands. The present work studies the thorium and uranium behaviour in the water and in the fine fractions of wetland soils throughout the passive treatment system. The evaluation of the efficiency of the all system was done determining ...

Relationship between substrate, physico-chemical parameters and foraminiferal t...

A multidisciplinar analysis of sediments collected in diferent environments of the Doñana National Park (Guadalquivir estuary, SW Spain) provides an overview of the textural, mineralogical and physico-chemical parameters that control the distribution of benthic foraminiferal tests in this Biosphere Reserve. These microorganisms are absent in the fne quartzitic sands that constitute the substrate of temporary po...

Chemistry of volcanic soils used for agriculture in Brava Island (Cape Verde) e...

In order to acquire a better knowledge of iron forms, clay minerals and the content and distribution of trace elements in soils mostly used for agriculture in the semi-arid Brava Island (Cape Verde), iron speciation, mineralogy and chemical contents in the clay-size fraction (<2 μm) of incipient soils developed on sediments and phonolitic pyroclasts was performed by Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and...

HEALTH UNIVERSAL RIGHT AT RISK: FINANCING HISTORICAL WEAKNESS AND LULA'S GOVERN...

This article searches to identify the conflicts which have been existed in SUS financing bases through its two decades of existence, stressing the staying of constraints and uncertainties which retrench its scheme, during the years of Lula`s governments. In the end of these governments, the conflicts are kept opened and they are far from being solved, in the sense that SUS has not managed up, to the moment, acq...
