Recent findings have demonstrated an increase in the prevalence of childhood obesity and overweight in Portugal, urging the need to study modifiable risk factors such as parental feeding practices. The Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire (CFPQ) is an important self-report measure assessing a broad range of responsive and non-responsive feeding practices. However, the CFPQ has not yet been validated in...
Phosphorus (P) scarcity, jointly with eutrophication problems and water shortage, are forcing urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) to redirect their focus to nutrient recov-ery and treated water reuse. However, before implementing any recovery approach, it is neces-sary to understand the problem and its variability. In this scope, this work aims to collect data from different WWTP to assess P concentrations...

Learning to eat complementary foods is a crucial milestone for infants, having implications across development. The most used method for introducing complementary foods is Traditional Spoon-Feeding (TSF). However, the alternative method Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) is increasingly becoming used as it has been associated with positive outcomes. Research analyzing associations between complementary feeding methods and ...
There is a lack of knowledge regarding the connection between parental emotional responsiveness and children’s executive functioning (EF). This study aimed to explore the relations between caregivers’ reactions to their children’s distress and children’s EF. Mothers of 136 preschoolers reported their reactions to their children’s negative emotions using the Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scale. Childr...
: Previous research identified emotion dysregulation, non-responsive feeding practices, and unhealthy food consumption as risk factors for childhood obesity. However, little is known about the relationships between these factors. This study examined associations between children’s emotion regulation, parental feeding practices, and children’s food consumption. The sample consisted of 163 mothers of children age...
Resumo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a concordância entre os dados antropométricos das crianças (peso, altura, respetivos IMC e z-score de IMC calculados) reportados pelos pais e medidos objetivamente pelos investigadores, bem como a sua relação com as práticas parentais alimentares. Participaram no estudo 71 famílias, com crianças entre os 2 e os 6 anos. Verificou-se uma discordância entre os ...
The classification of the dihedral folding tessellations of the sphere whose prototiles are a kite and an equilateral or isosceles triangle was obtained in recent papers by C.P. Avelino and A.F. Santos. In this paper we extend this classification to scalene triangles by presenting all the dihedral folding tessellations of the sphere by kites and scalene triangles in which the longest side of the kite is equal t...
O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os aspectos e impactos ambientais na mata ciliar do córrego Bacaba, localizada no município de Talismã -TO. O diagnóstico foi feito através de visita in loco e com registro fotográfico das características da degradação, para analise quantitativa dos impactos utilizou-se uma matriz de aspectos e impactos.
