In November 2022, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published the Technical Specification CEN/TS 19101:2022, “Design of Fibre-Polymer Composite Structures.” These design provisions, which follow the philosophy and partial factor format of the Eurocodes, are a milestone toward the widespread application of composite materials in civil engineering structures. This paper presents an overview and hig...
Introduction. This systematic review was conducted to (1) characterize the main elements of studies of velocity-based training (VBT) (e.g., training protocols) conducted in soccer, (2) summarize the main physiological and physical effects of VBT on soccer players, and (3) provide future directions for research. Methods: A systematic review of Cochrane Library, EBSCO, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web...
Background: Combined training (CT) simultaneously associates aerobic and strength exercises. Worldwide, studies on CT´s on Police officers' physical fitness are scarce. This study aims to measure a 4-month CT program's impact in the Close Protection Unit of the Portuguese Elite Police. Methods: A pre-and post-test study included 32 participants (mean age 30.1±2.7 years old). Anthropometry, body composition, phy...
Combined training (CT) may combine strength and endurance training within a given time period, but it can also encompass additional protocols consisting of velocity, balance, or mobility as part of the same intervention. These combined approaches have become more common in soccer. This systematic review was conducted to (1) characterize the training protocols used in CT studies in soccer, (2) summarize the main...

A criação de um Serviço Educativo do Arquivo Municipal de Oeiras, que designamos de “Revelar Oeiras”, tem como premissa promover, junto da população, um sentido de pertença e identificação com o território através da promoção do património arquivístico à guarda do Serviço de Arquivo Municipal da Câmara Municipal de Oeiras.Pretende-se a construção de uma ligação à memória de Oeiras, dirigindo as atividades do “R...
A macieira Bravo de Esmolfe é a mais conhecida e valorizada das variedades regionais, mas o conhecimento técnico disponível é escasso e torna-se necessário aprofundá-lo, em especial no que se refere às formas de gestão e controlo de uma das suas características mais negativas, a forte tendência para alternar as produções. Assim, pretendeu-se identificar algumas relações de produtividade que não desencadeiem alt...
