Participatory design and food literacy, promoting health and well-being as integral components of a post-growth economy

Publication . Duarte, Verónica; Félix, Maria João; Borges, Miguel de Aboim; Viegas, Cláudia; Félix, Maria João; Pombo, Fátima; Silva, Fernando Moreira da; Cruz, Paulo; Almendra, Rita Assoreira

In a post-growth economy, it is important to consider the qualitative characterisation of people’s well-being, considering food as a basic need. Inadequate eating habits can have negative health consequences. The presented study aims to demonstrate how participatory design based on gamification can transfer knowledge about food literacy in children. The methods used are based on the mapping of interdisciplinary knowledge (design and nutrition); in the construction of a physical model with gamified activities, and in the application of methods inherent to the participatory design methodology. Namely, participant observation during testing of the physical model and the application of a questionnaire, with non-probabilistic convenience sampling, which generated qualitative and quantitative data, which were analysed in a descriptive way. The effective contribution of this study lies in demonstrating how participatory design can maximise children’s involvement while increasing their interest in food literacy, as well as deepening reflection on the requirements inherent to the development of educational games. The expected results focus on the need to carry out more applied research that relates to design and nutrition, to promote healthy and sustainable eating.

Higher education settings menus have low compliance with the Mediterranean Diet and high carbon and water footprint: a case study from Portugal, Croatia and Turkey

Publication . Neto, B.; Dikmen, D.; Ferreira, L.; Viegas, Cláudia; Filipec, S.; Drobac, L.; Šatalić, Z.; Rocha, Ada

This study focuses on evaluating the compliance of menus from Higher Education Institutions (HEI) with the Mediterranean Diet (MD) and calculates their respective carbon and water footprints. From September 2023 to June 2024, menus from 52 HEIs across Portugal, Croatia, and Turkey were analysed using a Mediterranean Diet Compliance Index (MeDCIn). Also, the footprints of 300 meals from 30 different menus were calculated. Overall results show a low compliance with the MD (mean score 2.7 ± 3.4). Turkish menus scored the highest values (5.2 ± 1.7) while Portuguese menus scored the lowest (1.10 ± 3.7) (MeDCIn varies between −20.5 and 27). The limited availability of dishes with eggs, wholegrains, olive oil, nuts, seeds, and seasonal products was a key factor contributing to the low compliance observed, as well as insufficient variety in Mediterranean dishes, vegetables, pulses, seafood, and lean meat. The average water footprint was 1785.41 ± 909.3 m3/ton, with Turkish menus having the highest consumption (2271.90 ± 1016.11 m3/ton) and Portuguese menus the lowest (1485.46 ± 767.28 m3/ton). The average carbon footprint was 1.9 kg CO2-eq, with Turkish menus again scoring the highest (2.91 ± 2.13 kg CO2-eq) and Portuguese menus the lowest (1.42 ± 1.26 kg CO2-eq). The findings reveal a complex relationship between MD compliance and environmental footprints, with moderate positive correlations observed. These results provide valuable insights to develop targeted interventions to improve menu options in HEI cafeterias and reduce their environmental impact.

Frequency, characteristics and predictors oc central and peripheral neurological involvement in Sjögren’s disease: data from PORTRESS, the Portuguese registry of Sjögren’s disease

Background: Sjogren's disease (SjD) systemic affection is being increasingly recognized. The prevalence of peripheral (PNS) and central (CNS) nervous system involvement in SjD and risk factors for these manifestations have not been clearly established. Objectives: To define the clinical characteristics of SjD patients with CNS and/or PNS involvement and to find predictors of this involvement.

Em busca da “supraestranheza”

Publication . Palma, Miguel Ramos Santana; Guerreiro, Ricardo

O presente projeto trata-se de uma investigação baseada na prática artística na qual fui recolhendo e articulando diversas imagens visuais e sonoras relativas ao dia-a-dia. Numa primeira fase, as mesmas foram selecionadas segundo uma sensação profunda, algures entre a surpresa filosófica e o maravilhamento, a que designei “estranheza”. Sequentemente, já em fase de Pós-Produção, foram articuladas de diversos modos que, com a mesma sensibilidade anterior, procurariam realçar as mesmas “estranhezas”. Deste modo, conseguiriam produzir em conjunto um efeito ainda maior e mais profundo sobre mim: a “Supraestranheza”. Assim, cada uma dessas sequências, feitas por via de certos princípios orientadores, deveriam procurar atingir esse estado. Contudo, elas não são mais que pequenas consequências de algo maior: um conjunto coeso, ainda que fragmentário, de ideias, sensações, leituras e reflexões em constante expansão e mutação, plasmadas num relatório de entradas diarísticas e com valor literário. Deste processo resultou uma metodologia com relevância para futuras experiências artísticas com articulação multidisciplinar. Para além disso, também parece conter potenciais terapêuticos quer para a área psicológica da Film Therapy, quer para práticas holísticas como as associadas ao Yoga e ao Mindfulness.

Cardiotoxicidade: avaliação do strain da aurícula esquerda por ETT

Publication . Sousa, Rui; Silva, Joana; Henriques, Madalena; Cavaco, Sofia; Clérigo, Anália Matos; Fonseca, Virgínia

Introdução: O cancro da mama é uma das neoplasias malignas mais prevalentes, sendo a cardiotoxicidade induzida pelo tratamento com antraciclinas e trastuzumab uma complicação importante, associada à disfunção miocárdica e à insuficiência cardíaca. O ecocardiograma transtorácico (ETT) é considerado o método gold standard na avaliação da função cardíaca, sendo a fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) e o strain longitudinal global (GLS) os principais parâmetros utilizados para a deteção precoce de cardiotoxicidade. O strain da aurícula esquerda (AE) representa a deformação miocárdica desta estrutura e a sua avaliação é realizada com base em três parâmetros principais, entre os quais se destaca o peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) por melhor refletir a função global da AE. O strain da AE surge, deste modo, como um potencial marcador precoce de cardiotoxicidade induzida pela quimioterapia. Objetivo: Avaliar o strain da aurícula esquerda, por ETT, como preditor de cardiotoxicidade, em diferentes fases do tratamento com antraciclinas e trastuzumab, em mulheres com neoplasia da mama.
