Background: The All4Children project addresses the urgent need to transition from institutionalization to family-based care for out-of-home children in Portugal. Despite evidence highlighting the detrimental effects of institutionalization, only a small percentage of children (less than 4%) are currently placed in family foster care in the country. In response to European directives for deinstitutionalization, ...
Nesta tese, usaram-se duas estratégias para tentar aumentar a densidade de energia de supercondensadores constituídos por elétrodos de carbono e um eletrólito aquoso. Primeiro, eletrodepositou-se polióxido de fenileno nos elétrodos, para tentar suprimir as reações parasitas que limitam a sua janela de estabilidade. Embora as correntes catódicas não tenham sido afetadas pelo polímero, este diminuiu as correntes ...
Ground Surface Temperature (GST) is especially relevant in permafrost regions, such as the ice-free areas of the Antarctic Peninsula, to the understanding of environmental changes, where a long-term warming trend has been detected since 1950. To better understand GST regimes and the topoclimatic controlling factors, 20 iButtons were installed at sites according to elevation, exposure, curvature, and proximity t...

No século XXI, a implementação da educação doutoral em Geografia resultou num aumento do número de teses enquadradas na especialização em Geografia Física. No entanto, pouco é conhecido sobre a dinâmica inerente às técnicas de trabalho de campo, métodos e temas estudados. Com o objetivo de compreender melhor a tendência de aumento e evolução associada, este artigo analisa os 78 doutoramentos publicados em cinco...
Available online 16 November 2022; The purpose of this study was to investigate correlates of preterm (PT) infant’s cortisol reactivity and the association to infant negative affect, during a mother-infant interaction procedure. Participants included 48 infants born prematurely (gestational age < 37 weeks) and their mothers, assessed when infants were 12 months old corrected for prematurity. The examined variab...

This study investigated the relations between mothers’ and fathers’ controlling behaviors and the executive functioning of children born preterm. Sixty-eight preterm children and their parents were assessed when the children were 3 ½ years old. The executive functioning was measured using the Head-to-Toes-Task and controlling parenting behaviors were measured through a standardized observation of a parent-child...
