Interference of personal stigma in occupational performance: Study of adult sub...
Vidal Barrantes, Francisco Javier; Vidal Barrantes, Francisco Javier; Patrício, Joana; Frieza, Maria; Custódio, Katia; Xavier, Celso; Simões Dias, SaraIntroduction: Given the negative effects of addiction, occupational performance is compromised, impacting on interpersonal relationships and daily routines. Currently there is little literature associating personal stigma with the quality of occupational performance in the drug user population, especially in Portugal. Objective: The aim is to understand how personal stigma can affect the occupational performanc...
Introducing fuzzy set theory to evaluate risk of misclassification of land cove...
Teixeira, Zara; Vital, Saulo Roberto de Oliveira; Vendel, Ana Lúcia; Mendonça, Juan Diego Lourenço de; Patrício, JoanaIn land cover maps, categories represent a continuum of variation and for this reason, fuzzy set theory, which accepts degrees of membership, has been suggested for land classification. Nevertheless, classical set theory, which only assumes single map categories, is still widely used. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology to reduce the weakness of land cover maps in which classical theory has be...
Maltreatment and youth self-representations in residential care: The moderating...
Calheros, M. M.; Silva, Carla; Patrício, JoanaThe objective of this study was to explore the effects of previous maltreatment on current self-representations (i.e., the attributes used to describe oneself) of youth in residential care and the moderating role of gender, age, number of previous placements and length of placement in residential care. The sample was composed of 809 adolescents and youths in residential care. The youth completed the self-repres...
The social image of families of children and youth in residential care: a chara...
Patrício, Joana; Lopes, Diniz; Garrido, M. V.; Calheros, M. M.The literature suggests that families of children and youths in residential care are often associated with negative social images. These images may shape prejudiced attitudes and behavior toward them and, when shared by care professionals, compromise the effectiveness of family intervention and reintegration. This study explored these social images in a sample of 176 participants with and without professional c...
Emergency residential care settings: A model for service assessment and design
Graça, João; Calheros, M. M.; Patrício, Joana; Magalhães, EuniceThere have been calls for uncovering the “black box” of residential care services, with a particular need for research focusing on emergency care settings for children and youth in danger. In fact, the strikingly scant empirical attention that these settings have received so far contrasts with the role that they often play as gateway into the child welfare system. To answer these calls, this work presents and t...
Gill parasites of fish from two estuaries in northeastern Brazil: new hosts and...
Golzio, Jéssica E. S. A.; Falkenberg, Júlia M.; Praxedes, Rayssa C. G.; Coutinho, Anderson S.; Laurindo, Mylena K.; Pessanha, André; Madi, Rubens R.Parasites are important components of communities and constitute great part of the biological diversity found in ecosystems, providing valuable information about their hosts and the environment in which they live. However, despite its importance, parasitic diversity is still not well known in some regions of Brazil, especially with respect to fish parasites in the Northeast Region. The present study aims to per...
A Catalogue of Marine Biodiversity Indicators
Teixeira, Heliana; Berg, Torsten; Uusitalo, Laura; Fürhaupter, Karin; Heiskanen, Anna-Stiina; Mazik, Krysia; Lynam, Christopher P.; Neville, SuzannaA Catalogue of Marine Biodiversity Indicators was developed with the aim of providing the basis for assessing the environmental status of the marine ecosystems. Useful for the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), this catalogue allows the navigation of a database of indicators mostly related to biological diversity, non-indigenous species, food webs, and seafloor integrity. Over 600...
Uses of Innovative Modeling Tools within the Implementation of the Marine Strat...
Lynam, Christopher P.; Uusitalo, Laura; Patrício, Joana; Piroddi, Chiara; Queirós, Ana M.; Teixeira, Heliana; Rossberg, Axel G.; Sagarminaga, YolandaIn Europe and around the world, the approach to management of the marine environment has developed from the management of single issues (e.g., species and/or pressures) toward holistic Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) that includes aims to maintain biological diversity and protect ecosystem functioning. Within the European Union, this approach is implemented through the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD...
Tropical Estuarine Macrobenthic Communities Are Structured by Turnover Rather t...
Medeiros, Carlinda Raílly; Hepp, Luiz Ubiratan; Patrício, Joana; Molozzi, JoselineTurnover (i.e., species substitution) and nestedness (i.e., subsets of species from more diverse locations), the two main mechanisms used to explain the beta diversity of biological communities, have different implications for biodiversity conservation. To better understand how these mechanisms contribute to beta diversity, we tested the following hypotheses: (i) greater dissimilarity in community composition o...
IDE-OTALEX C - primeira IIG transfronteiriça: desenvolvimento, desafios e suste...
Batista, Teresa; Mendes, Paula; Carriço, Cristina; Ceballos, Fernando; Caballero, Carmen; Ramos, Rafael; Mateus, Júlio; Vivas-White, Pedro; Reis, SaraO Projecto OTALEX foi financiado pelo programa europeu INTERREG IIIA e teve como objectivos estudar e dar a conhecer a realidade de um território, composto pelas regiões do Alentejo em Portugal e da Extremadura em Espanha, separadas convencionalmente pela fronteira administrativa mas unidas pelas suas características físicas, ambientais, sociais e económicas. Tratam-se de espaços rurais de baixa densidade demog...
