Music performance anxiety: Priority targets in prevention and intervention
Martins, M.; Salgado, B.; Silva, S.Background: Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a major setback for musicians with diverse backgrounds and expertise. MPA can be managed with adequate strategies, and success will improve if information and professional help is widely available and if musicians are willing to seek such help. Research on MPA has focused on the correlates (potential causes) of MPA, but results are scattered across studies. Also, t...
Potential benefits of social media in educating healthcare professionals and st...
Vieira, Lina Oliveira; Kang, C.; Martins, M.; Grilo, AnaIntroduction: Advancements in medical imaging with ionizing radiation have significantly transformed the field and enhanced the education and training of medical professionals. A notable development in this educational landscape is the use of social media, which engages millions of users worldwide. This scoping review aims to explore the potential of social media as an educational tool for healthcare profession...
Does music training improve emotion recognition and cognitive abilities? Longit...
Neves, L.; Martins, M.; Correia, A. I.; Castro, S. L.; Schellenberg, E. G.; Lima, C. F.Music training is widely claimed to enhance nonmusical abilities, yet causal evidence remains inconclusive. Moreover, research tends to focus on cognitive over socioemotional outcomes. In two studies, we investigated whether music training improves emotion recognition in voices and faces among school-aged children. We also examined music-training effects on musical abilities, motor skills (fine and gross), broa...
Preliminary assessment of the knowledge gaps to prevent soil erosion.
Guimarães, M.H.; Martins, M.; Vieira, D.; Brito, I.; Kelly, C.; Guiomar, N.; Stathopoulos, N.; Zoka, M.; Nóvoa, T.; Cerdà, A.; Faria, B.; Madeira, J.SOLO project aims to deliver actionable transdisciplinary roadmaps for future soil-related research and innovation activities in the EU, contributing to the objectives of the EU Soil Mission. To achieve this overarching goal, the project employs a transdisciplinary task force known as Think Tanks (TTs). Comprising 10 Think Tanks, SOLO aligns these entities with the specific objectives established by the EU Miss...
Legume cover and P2O5 content in Montado systems: a case study of biodiverse pa...
Marques, J.H.; Carreira, E.; Belo, A.; Martins, M.; Lloberas, D.; Serrano, J.The Montado, a dominant agro-silvo-pastoral system in Southern Portugal, features rainfed pastures primarily composed of legumes and grasses. Portuguese pasture area has expanded over the last century for economic, environmental, social, and cultural reasons. These pastures offer low-cost forage and improve long-term soil fertility through animal manure incorporation, enhancing soil organic matter, and legumino...
INOVAÇÃO TECNOLÓGICA NA GESTÃO DO MONTADO: NOVAS FERRAMENTAS NO APOIO À TOMADA ...
Serrano, João; Carreira, E.; Martins, M.; Shahidian, Shakib; Paixão, Luís; Batista, E.; Marques da Silva, J.; Pereira, A.; Carvalho, M.O montado é um ecossistema característico dos países de clima mediterrânico, representando o Alentejo a região de maior expressão em Portugal. É um sistema misto, agro-silvo-pastoril, que suporta a produção pecuária extensiva com baixos encabeçamentos animais. Nas últimas duas décadas a agricultura sofreu um forte impacto tecnológico associado ao conceito de Agricultura de Precisão. Este conceito corresponde a ...
Minimizing total completion time in large-sized pharmaceutical quality control ...
Figueiredo, Joao; Martins, M.; Viegas, J.; Coito, T.; Firme, B.; Costigliola, A.; Vieira, S.; Sousa, J.This paper proposes an algorithm for the effective scheduling of analytical chemistry tests in the context of quality control for pharmaceutical manufacturing. The problem is formulated as an extension of a dual resource constrained flexible job shop scheduling problem for the allocation of both machines and analysts resources for analytical laboratory work of real dimensions. The formulation is novel and custo...
Analysis of Petiole Sap Nutrients Using Rapid and Standard Methods and Its Rela...
Mota, Mariana; Martins, M.; Sprey, Layanne; Maurício, Anabela; Rosa, Cristina; Faria, João; Martins, Miguel; Sousa, Miguel L. de; Santos, RicardoCurrently, fertilization decisions in apple orchards are based on soil and leaf analyses while the leaf material is sampled after the growing season, usually in June–July (90–110 days after full bloom). This approach is inefficient, as the information becomes available later than the growing season and is therefore only useful in supporting fertilization decisions for the next year, not the current one. To esta...
Transnational cooperation in enhancing researchers’ wider employability: the TR...
Lees, J.; Gorini, L.; Torjussen, S.; Oliveira, Margarida; Pinto, Paula; Barbas, Maria Potes; Martins, M.; Jones, M.S.; Sheppard, V.; Petronilho, A.The purpose of this paper is to provide an example of best practice towards enhancing employability in the cross-sectoral labour market for doctorate-holders. This was achieved through an Erasmus+ KA2 (Strategic Partnership) skills development project which created a training programme (TRANSPEER) involving a multi-disciplinary cohort of researchers at a range of career stages, drawn from universities in Norway...
Respiração na técnica kokyo de karaté em imagética estática e em execução motor...
Mercê, Cristiana; Catela, David; Silva, B.; Gonçalves, F.; Mota, E.; Costa, B.; Julião, S.; Martins, M.; Catanho, L.; Sousa, R.; Bernardino, F.No karaté o movimento está em estreita articulação com um fluxo respiratório diafragmático controlado. Como a respiração diafragmática ativa o sistema nervoso parassimpático e reduz a frequência respiratória (CR), fomos verificar se crianças e jovens de diferentes graduações de karaté revelavam alteração na CR e na variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC), nas condições de imagética estática (I) e de execução...
