Improving Motor Competence of Children: The Super Quinas Intervention Program i...
Rodrigues, Luis P.; Cordovil, Rita; Costa, Júlio A.; Seabra, André; Guilherme, José; Vale, Susana; Luz, Carlos; Flôres, Fábio; Lagoa, Maria JoãoThe objective of this study was to describe the effects of an extra hour of a structured motor program on the motor competence (MC) of children 6–10 years old. The need for movement interventions to enhance MC among school-aged children has gained vital importance in the last years, given the negative secular trends reported. Hence, the Portuguese Football Federation organized an intervention program on MC to b...
Synergies for cross-border tourism: a collaborative proposal for rural revitali...
Fernandes, Joana; Nogueira, Sónia P.Attracting tourists to rural areas is a complex challenge, often overshadowed by the allure of urban or beach destinations. Limited infrastructure, sparse amenities, and a lack of visibility in the tourism industry contribute to the difficulty in drawing visitors to these less-explored regions. Accessibility issues, stemming from limited transportation options, further deter potential tourists, as rural destina...
Peer-to-peer energy trading strategies for decentralized residential energy sys...
Borges, Paulo Ricardo MesquitaThis work investigates peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading within residential local energy markets (LEMs) assessing how decentralized bilateral matching mechanisms can increase renewable self-consumption, reduce reliance on the upstream grid, and affect distributional and network outcomes. Two bilateral matching strategies are formalized and implemented: a time-varying Supply–Demand Matching strategy (ST1), which...
Slow food tourism: exploring consumer motivational dimensions
Martins, Marco; Guerra, Ricardo Jorge da Costa; Santos, Lara; Lopes, Luisa; Conde, Ana RitaIn this chapter one examines the literature on the travel motivations and activities undertaken by slow food tourists to understand what kind of activities they become involved in while at the receptive destination. Thus, there is a need for slow food tourism research to move beyond studies of motivation to travel in way to better understand the factors that influence tourists’ choices regarding food- related a...

Bacterial dynamics and exchange in plant-insect interactions
Cameirão, Cristina; Pereira, José Alberto; Tavares, Rui; Lino-Neto, Teresa; Baptista, PaulaIn nature, plants and insects engage in intricate interactions. Despite the increasing knowledge of the microbiomes of plants and insects, the extent to which they exchange and alter each other’s microbiomes remains unclear. In this work, the bacterial community associated with nymphs of Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae), the stems of Coleostephus myconis where the nymphs were feeding, and the foam...
