Port wine production involves the addition of grape spirit to halt fermentation and retain natural sweetness. This spirit, produced by distilling wine and its by-products, must comply with legal standards, including a mandatory sensory assessment. Because grape spirit influences Port wine’s volatile composition, this study investigated the odouractive compounds present in several grape spirits intended for fort...
Introduction: Transgender health remains a challenge for healthcare professionals, given the fast evolution of concepts related to gender roles and sexual identity, with frequent updates to definitions and nomenclature. Also, being a delicate and divisive theme in society, it generates distress, suffering, and stigmatization for people experiencing these processes. Besides, there is often significant inaction b...
This article will aim to explore the new far-right movements following the prohibition of organisations that follow the fascist ideology that the Portuguese Constitution outlaws, based on a characteristic that we will argue is common to the far-right and, a fortiori, to fascisms throughout their existence. That is the discrimination and persecution of people belonging to social groups with a history of oppressi...
A crescente procura por cimento enfrenta grandes desafios ambientais de forma a alcançar as metas para a neutralidade carbónica até 2050, sendo crucial a promoção da economia circular no setor. Uma forma de tentar mitigar esta problemática é através da utilização de resíduos na produção de materiais cimentícios, como é o caso dos betões e das argamassas. Recentemente, houve um impulso na utilização de pó de vid...
This paper seeks to understand the impact of a training program on 19 pre-service primary school teachers’ perceptions towards educational robotics (ER). The training program is based on a reflective process of design and implementation of a learning scenario during the practicum, using a pre-experimental design. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire applied at three moments of the interventi...
The scarcity of studies dedicated to the integration of educational robotics (ER) in teaching mathematical content, and the discomfort of teachers when integrating ER in their teaching practices make it pertinent to understand the development of the didactic knowledge of mathematics necessary to integrate ER in mathematics teaching practices during initial teacher training. This qualitative and interpretive stu...

The proper integration of technology in teaching and learning processes must consider the role of teachers and students, as well as the design of tasks and the context in which they are implemented. Teachers’ perceived self-efficacy significantly influences their willingness to integrate educational robotics (ER) into their practice, so initial teacher training should provide opportunities for teachers to parti...
STEM education is part of the curriculum in several countries worldwide. In Portugal, although this is not the case, there is a growing trend towards the integration of content from STEM subjects, identified in several initiatives and research projects. STEM pedagogical practices foster motivating environments, allowing students to develop skills while solving real problems, in an interdisciplinary way and with...
International studies and guidelines point to the integration of educational robotics in teaching as a promoter of mathematical learning, identifying as main obstacles to the integration of educational robotics the high degree of specific knowledge involved and the scarcity of didactic support. The work developed in in-service teacher training highlights the positive contribution of the possibility to articulat...
