Śmieja, M.; Walczak, A.; Cacek, J.; Górski, M. R.; Bond, M. H.; Gjoneska, B.; Hussain, M. A.; Joshanloo, M.; Szumowska, E.; Teyssier, J.This study examines the interplay between relationship status, well-being, and values across 57 countries. We hypothesized that individuals in romantic relationships would report higher well-being (measured as happiness, harmony, and meaning in life) compared to singles. We anticipated that in cultures prioritizing relationships, the benefits of being coupled would be amplified, while in societies emphasizing a...
Happiness maximization is a WEIRD way of living
Kuba, K.; Kostoula, O.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Mosca, O.; Lee, J. H.; Maricchiolo, F.; Kosiarczyk, A.; Kocimska-Bortnowska, A.; Torres, C.; Hitokoto, H.Psychological science tends to treat subjective well-being and happiness synonymously. We start from the assumption that subjective well-being is more than being happy to ask the fundamental question: What is the ideal level of happiness? From a cross-cultural perspective, we propose that the idealization of attaining maximum levels of happiness may be especially characteristic of Western, educated, industrial,...
A cross-cultural study on the association between societal conditions and the i...
Lou, X.; Haas, B. W.; Zelenski, J. M.; Xing, C.; Vignoles, V. L.; Vauclair, C.-M.; van Tilburg, W. A. P.; Uchida, Y.; Teyssier, J.; Torres, C.Although most people aspire to be happy, the extent to which people pursue or idealize experiencing high levels of happiness does differ according to sociocultural context. This study was designed to elucidate which societal and cultural indicators are the most conducive to fostering high levels of happiness idealization. To accomplish this goal, we measured levels of happiness idealization for 11,170 participa...
The role of cultural heterogeneity in strengthening the link between family rel...
Li, L. M. W.; Lun, V. M.-C.; Bond, M. H.; Yeung, J. C.; Igou, E. R.; Haas, B. W.; Stoyanova, S.; Maricchiolo, F.; Zelenski, J. M.; Vauclair, C.-M.We argue that the importance of family relationships for individual well-being varies across societies as a function of a society’s degree of cultural heterogeneity. To examine the role of family relationships, we analyzed the responses from 13,009 participants in 50 societies on their life satisfaction across societies varying in their levels of historical and contemporary cultural heterogeneity. Such heteroge...
A Multidisciplinary Approach to the First Autochthonous Case of Tularemia Repor...
Cunha, F.; Lopes de Carvalho, I.; Torres, C.; Gonçalves, R.Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative coccobacillus, is a highly virulent pathogen responsible for several zoonotic outbreaks in Europe in the last few decades. The authors report the case of a 46-year-old male who developed fever, myalgias and headache a week after having contact with animal feed contaminated by rodents. Serological tests were positive for Francisella tularensis. This first case of autochtho...

Torres, C.; Santos, A.S.; Lopes de Carvalho, I.; Gomes, F.; Serrada, E.; Gonçalo, J.; Codeiro, E.; Menezes de Almeida, L.; Tavares, A.; Santos Silva, M.As doenças transmitidas por vetores têm reemergido → alterações climáticas, demográficas, genéticas nos agentes patogénicos, resistências a inseticidas e mobilidade de populações e bens. Os ixodídeos são um dos vetores com mais impacto na Saúde Pública. Este estudo pretende caracterizar a distribuição de ixodídeos por critérios temporo-espaciais, ambientais e parasitismo, no âmbito da Rede de Vigilância de Veto...
Staphylococci among Wild European Rabbits from the Azores: A Potential Zoonotic...
Sousa, M.; Silva, V.; Silva, A.; Silva, N.; Ribeiro, J.; Tejedor-Junco, M.T.; Capita, R.; Chenouf, N.S.; Alonso-Calleja, C.; Rodrigues, T.M.; Leitão, M.The prevalence and diversity of Staphylococcus species from wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in the Azores were investigated, and the antibiotic resistance phenotype and genotype of the isolates were determined. Nasal samples from 77 wild European rabbits from São Jorge and São Miguel islands in Azores were examined. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was determined using the Kirby-Bauer dis...
First report on MRSA CC398 recovered from wild boars in the north of Portugal
Sousa, M.; Silva, N.; Manageiro, V.; Ramos, S.; Coelho, A.; Gonçalves, D.; Caniça, M.; Torres, C.; Igrejas, G.; Poeta, P.More than 47% of the Portuguese hospital S. aureus isolates are methicillin-resistant (MRSA): one of the highest rates in Europe [1]. Anyhow, MRSA are becoming increasingly prevalent in community-acquired infections and, in recent years, new genetic lineages of MRSA were associated to livestock animals (LA-MRSA) [2, 3]. Nevertheless, less information do exists about the prevalence of MRSA in wild animals but, s...
Airborne olive pollen counts are not representative of exposure to the major ol...
Galán C.; Antunes, C.M.; Brandao, R. M.; Torres, C.; Garcia-Mozo, H.; Caeiro, E.; R. Ferro; Prank, M.; Sofiev, M.; R. Albertini; U. Berger; L. CecchiPollen is routinely monitored, but it is unknown whether pollen counts represent allergen exposure. We therefore simultaneously determined olive pollen and Ole e 1 in ambient air in C ordoba, Spain, and Evora, Portugal, using Hirst-type traps for pollen and high-volume cascade impactors for allergen. Pollen from different days released 12-fold different amounts of Ole e 1 per pollen (both locations P < 0.001). ...
