    This project aims at developing a Marketing Plan for the launch of a new Delta Q coffee capsule. The new product consists of an innovative green coffee blend that carries several health benefits that regular roasted coffee does not provide. This new product has specific goals associated with its launch: to increment Delta sales in the coffee capsule segment, to reinforce the brand’s MS, to promote and increase brand equity and, consequently, to strengthen the firm’s reputation and leadership. Finally, the new product aims at being perceived by consumers as a healthy beverage with direct benefits for their health and wellbeing. The project entails an extensive Literature Review that, along with the external analysis, internal analysis and competitive analysis creates the necessary foundations for the market strategy definition and, thereafter, the development of a marketing mix. The marketing mix encompasses the launching strategy of a green coffee blend that must meet consumers’ needs and interests. This project demonstrates how a pioneer product finds its place in the market and builds its presence within a highly competitive industry.O presente projeto visa desenvolver um plano de marketing para o lançamento de uma nova cápsula de café Delta Q.

    Background Amongst the technological solutions that aim to facilitate daily tasks, the potential contributions of mhealth is significant, mainly within the crescent elderly population presenting chronic diseases and using medication. Thus, this study aimed to assess the utilization and willingness to use IT devices to support health management, such as medication management. Methods A cross-sectional study was held, including the application (face-to-face and online) of an electronic questionnaire, with 164 participants. Data were processed using SPSS v27. Results Study participants had a mean age of 37.6 ± 20.0 years old, 23.8% were ≥ 60 years old, 73.2% female, 28% declared to suffer a chronic disease, with 27.4% using chronic medication and mostly managed by oneself (71.1%). Most of the participants owned and used a mobile phone (respectively 93.9% and 59.8%), a tablet (48.8% and 44.5%), and a computer (73.8% and 17.1%). Only about half of the participants aged ≥ 60 years declared to use their mobile devices to internet access (mobile phones 51.3%, tablet 35.9% and computers 41%). In this group, only 2% mentioned using applications in the health area. Overall, 85.4% considered these tools could be useful, although fewer would be willing to buy them (33.6% for < 60 years and 66.7% for ≥ 60 years). Conclusions The use of IT devices is less widespread in the older population, the age groups with greatest need for tools to support health management.

    Sex workers' peer support during the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned from a study of a portuguese community-led response

    Get PDF
    To respond to the consequences felt by the COVID-19 pandemic, a community-led intervention was developed by the Portuguese national Movement of Sex Workers. With this exploratory study, we aimed to document their work and analyze their perceptions of this impact. To do so, we interviewed them individually, between May and August of 2020. Additionally, we analysed an Excel Sheet that contained the needs assessment and the support provided by the Movement. The content analysis of both suggests that the impact of the pandemic might have been exacerbated by the social inequalities caused by the prostitution stigma and characteristics such as gender, migration status, race, and socioeconomic status. This study calls for the inclusion of sex workers’ voices in the design of policies and responses related to the commerce of sex. The consolidation of a Portuguese Movement of Sex Workers is also noted
