This study aimed to (i) characterise the body composition of professional and semi-professional male futsal players, (ii) assess the validity of commonly used equations to estimate FM%, (iii) develop and cross-validate a futsal-specific FM% prediction equation. In a cross-sectional design, 78 adult male futsal players were assessed for body mass, stature, skinfolds, and girths as per the International Society f...
A Enfermagem, como profissão de alto desgaste físico e psicológico, tem levado alguns autores a relacionar as condições do trabalho com os altos níveis de stress. Devido à exigência da profissão, os enfermeiros estão diariamente sujeitos a situações complexas, como o envolvimento racional/emocional com os utentes, acarretando grandes níveis de responsabilidade. Assim, torna-se pertinente considerar o risco pote...
Studies of emerging prosody from the word to the phrase, integrating various sources of evidence, are scarce, and our understanding of the pathways of prosodic development is still very limited. An investigation of emerging intonation and prosodic phrasing was undertaken on the basis of production data on intonation and duration patterns from the speech of two European Portuguese children between 1;00 and 2;04....
Nursing, a profession of high physical and psychological strain, has led some authors to relate the work conditions with high levels of stress. Due to the nature of this demanding profession, nurses are daily subjected to complex situations, such as rational/emotional involvement with patients, involving great levels of responsibility. Thus, it is relevant to consider the nurses who have the potential risk to d...
Declarative techniques such as Constraint Programming are very useful in modeling complex requirements. They have the added benefit of being executable specifications and, when properly tuned, high-performance ones. In this paper we argue that Information Systems ought to include constraint-based techniques in their design and implementation. We support this claim by introducing tools based on constraint progra...

The study of duration patterns in early speech has yield contradictory results regarding the role played by biological factors and language specificity. We have examined the development of duration patterns in the speech of one European Portuguese child, from 1;04 to 2;04. Our findings show two different moments of temporal reorganization: the first related to PW duration; the second to syllable duration as a f...
