O Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) constitui um dos principais instrumentos utilizados para avaliar o risco de reincidência na delinquência juvenil, considerando fatores de risco e necessidades criminógenas. Este estudo procurou analisar a validade preditiva do YLS/CMI numa amostra de 608 jovens ofensores portugueses com idades entre os 12 e os 18 anos. Os resultados suportam a validad...
The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) is a widely used risk assessment instrument that comprehensively assesses risk factors and criminogenic needs among young individuals. This study explores the association between YLS/CMI scores and subsequent recidivism among 608 Portuguese young offenders aged 12 to 18 years. The results support the predictive validity of the YLS/CMI in assessing r...
Background. Sediments frequently exposed to dry-wet cycles are potential biogeochemical hotspots for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during dry, wet and transitional phases. While the effects of drying and rewetting on carbon fluxes have been studied extensively in terrestrial and aquatic systems, less is known about the effects of dry-wet cycles on N2O emissions from aquatic systems. As a notable part of lotic ...
Agricultural activities are responsible for most of the nitrogen (N) inputs that degrade water quality. To elucidate the drivers leading to N pressures on water, we examined the resulting state of surface waters in terms of N concentrations, the impact of this on water quality status and policy responses to these constraints across different climatic and management conditions. Portugal and Denmark were chosen a...
Predicting wildfire spread is a challenging task fraught with uncertainties. ‘Perfect’ predictions are unfeasible since uncertainties will always be present. Improving fire spread predictions is important to reduce its negative environmental impacts. Here, we propose to understand, characterize, and quantify the impact of uncertainty in the accuracy of fire spread predictions for very large wildfires. We frame ...
Background: An approach to predict fire growth in an operational setting, with the potential to be used as a decision-support tool for fire management, is described and evaluated. The operational use of fire behaviour models has mostly followed a deterministic approach, however, the uncertainty associated with model predictions needs to be quantified and included in wildfire planning and decision-making process...
Neste estudo são analisados os saberes experienciais que professores de matemática trazem/narram e sobre os quais refletem durante um curso de educação continuada. Após discutir teoricamente o problema da educação continuada de professores face aos saberes profissionais e, em particular, aos saberes da experiência docente, são analisadas três narrativas de experiências de aulas apresentadas durante um curso de ...
