Piecing together terminology in bioarchaeology

Recent data has shown that there is a great diversity of vocabulary related with bioarchaeology and funerary archaeology employed both in technical and scientific documents produced in Portugal. This phenomenon reflects, the lack of an uniform criteria in the application of concepts reflecting the circumstances and scientific preferences of the author, and as such revealing the subjectivity associated with the gathering of on field information during archaeological work. The lack of a standard framework limits data interpretation, by restricting a systematic approach to the information gathered and, consequently, impairing the comparisons amongst bio-demographic and sociocultural main features of Past Populations. Identifying this problem and its consequences led to the work that is currently being developed and that comprises the standpoint of reference authors in this matter, considering their contribution and presenting a proposal for the definition of the selected concepts. This strategy intends to produce a uniform language to be adopted in technical reports. It’s our hope that this approach could lead to a better understanding of archaeological field reports, increasing their informative potential that could later feed a bioarchaeological database. Thus it is our aim, with the present communication, to present the first effort of an ongoing project, to establish a common standard of main concepts on bioarchaeology.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Editorial

O presente número da revista “Da Investigação às Práticas”, seguindo a tendência das últimas publicações, reforça a importância da reflexão sobre o papel dos cidadãos no mundo atual, em que as transformações sociais, culturais e económicas se tornam evidentes e impactam de forma importante o quotidiano. Compreender e atuar sobre estas alterações implicam uma capacidade de leitura do real para a qual a educação, nas suas diversas formas e áreas, contribui de forma fundamental.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Competência cultural na licenciatura em Mediação Artística e Cultural da ESELx

Nos discursos políticos, nacionais e internacionais, a arte é imbuída de virtudes de combate à exclusão social e a cultura reconhecida como pilar do desenvolvimento sustentável. Paralelamente, as diversas formas de expressão artística tornam-se mais complexas e as fronteiras entre públicos e artistas tomam contornos mais dissolutos. Perante essas mudanças sociais e societais, emerge a necessidade de um novo profissional capaz de ler e dar respostas a situações complexas e imprevistas, com formação especializada de nível superior. No sentido de contribuir para responder a esta necessidade, a Escola Superior de Educação de Lisboa (ESELx) cujo projeto formativo está vocacionada para “A formação de professores, educadores e outros agentes educativos, artísticos e culturais” criou e abriu em 2016 uma licenciatura em Mediação Artística e Cultural. A mediação artística e cultural visa criar lugares de encontro privilegiados entre artistas e cidadãos, promovendo, assim, o intercâmbio interpessoal, a aprendizagem e o compromisso. Também pode ajudar a reduzir as barreiras psicológicas e sociais que envolvem a exclusão de grupos-alvo. A licenciatura em Mediação Artística e Cultural tem como público alvo estudantes com origens distintas, os que já se posicionam na via artística e que pretendem enveredar pela vida da mediação e aqueles que se posicionam na via educativa em sentido lato e que pretendem uma formação nas componentes artísticas e culturais. A estrutura do plano de estudo abrange diversas áreas científicas: Línguas e Literatura, Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação, Artes e Ciências Sociais e da Educação, sendo as duas últimas as mais importantes em termo de número de créditos. A iniciação à prática profissional constitui o eixo agregador da formação. Com esta comunicação, pretende-se perceber de que forma a formação proposta visa o desenvolvimento de competência cultural adequada à diversidade das sociedades contemporâneas multiculturais. Entendemos a competência cultural como sendo complexa e formada por várias componentes: transcultural, metacultural, intercultural, pluricultural e cocultural (Puren, 2014). Metodologicamente, propõe-se analisar os objetivos e os conteúdos declarados nas fichas de unidade curricular de todas as unidades obrigatórias do plano de formação da licenciatura em Mediação Artística e Cultural. Esperamos que os resultados obtidos contribuam para (i) uma discussão sobre a competência cultural desenvolvida nos dispositivos de formação de mediadores artísticos e culturais e (ii) uma melhor adequação dos planos de formação ao perfil profissional desejado.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Dropout factors in higher education: A literature review

Dropping out of Higher Education is an international concern with an impact on Higher Education Institutions, in general, and on individual career paths, in particular. In order to prevent this phenomenon and support both institutions and students in their decision-making, it is urgent to identify evasion factors in higher education. A review made in published articles in international scientific journals between January 2014 and December 2018 is presented, based on the Longitudinal Institutional Evasion Model. The search was carried out in four databases, with combinations of the keywords dropout, departure, academic adjustment, college adjustment, academic integration, social integration, and higher education. Twenty-four articles that met the inclusion criteria were fully read. The articles were described and the content was systematized in meta-synthesis. Factors related to attributes prior to entering higher education were identified; objectives and commitments prior and subsequent to this entry; institutional experiences; academic and social integration. Evasion signaling measures were also identified. Implications for research, services and policies of Higher Education Institutions are discussed.A evasão no Ensino Superior constitui preocupação internacional com impacto nas Instituições de Ensino Superior, em geral, e nos percursos de carreira individuais, em específico. Para prevenir esse fenômeno e apoiar tanto instituições como estudantes na sua tomada de decisão, urge identificar fatores de evasão no ensino superior. Apresenta-se revisão de artigos publicados em revistas científicas internacionais entre janeiro 2014 e dezembro 2018, com base no Modelo Longitudinal de Evasão Institucional. A pesquisa foi realizada em quatro bases de dados, com combinações das palavras-chave dropout, departure, academic adjustment, college adjustment, academic integration, social integration e higher education. Foram lidos integralmente 24 artigos que satisfaziam critérios de inclusão. Procedeu-se à descrição dos artigos e o conteúdo foi sistematizado em meta-síntese. Identificaram-se fatores relativos a atributos prévios à entrada no ensino superior; objetivos e compromissos prévios e posteriores a essa entrada; experiências institucionais; integração acadêmica e social. Identificaram-se ainda medidas de sinalização de evasão. Discutem-se implicações para a investigação, para serviços e políticas das Instituições de Ensino Superior.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Electrochemical chemically based sensors and emerging enzymatic biosensors for antidepressant drug detection: a review

Major depressive disorder is a widespread condition with antidepressants as the main pharmacological treatment. However, some patients experience concerning adverse reactions or have an inadequate response to treatment. Analytical chromatographic techniques, among other techniques, are valuable tools for investigating medication complications, including those associated with antidepressants. Nevertheless, there is a growing need to address the limitations associated with these techniques. In recent years, electrochemical (bio)sensors have garnered significant attention due to their lower cost, portability, and precision. Electrochemical (bio)sensors can be used for various applications related to depression, such as monitoring the levels of antidepressants in biological and in environmental samples. They can provide accurate and rapid results, which could facilitate personalized treatment and improve patient outcomes. This state-of-the-art literature review aims to explore the latest advancements in the electrochemical detection of antidepressants. The review focuses on two types of electrochemical sensors: Chemically modified sensors and enzyme-based biosensors. The referred papers are carefully categorized according to their respective sensor type. The review examines the differences between the two sensing methods, highlights their unique features and limitations, and provides an in-depth analysis of each sensor.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Formation en animation socioculturelle à l’ESELx : quelle place aux sciences physiques et naturelles?

Dès la première version du programme de formation de la licence en animation socioculturelle de l´École Supérieure d´Éducation de Lisbonne en 2006, léquipe enseignante a jugé bon d$y intégrer une composante de sciences physiques et naturelles. En esociétés contemporaines comprises comme des sociétés du risque, la ré!exivité est centrale et la science et les scienti"ques deviennent de plus en plus nécessaires, mais sans qu$on les sépare des populations, au contraire. Ce besoin de ré!exivité sur les risques apporte des dé"s supplémentaires à la formation et à lintervention des professionnels en animation socioculturelle. Une enquête auprès des étudiants nous montre quelles sont leurs représentations de sciences physiques et naturelles et quelle importance ils a&ribuent à ces connaissances en tant que citoyens et animateurs socioculturels. Une approche transdisciplinaire, incluant les sciences physiques et naturelles, semble o%rir des outils utiles pour la di'- cile tâche des animateurs qui est de trouver des moyens pour faire face à une réalité pleine de complexités et dambiguïtés.From the "rst version of the training program for the degree in Sociocultural Community Development of the Lisbon Higher School of Education in 2006, the teaching team decided to integrate physical and natural sciences. Indeed, in contemporary societies understood as risk societies, re!exivity is central, and science and scientists are becoming more and more necessary, taking populations’ expectations. )is need for re!exivity on risks brings additional challenges to the training and intervention of professionals in Sociocultural Community Development. A survey of students reveals their representations of the physical and natural sciences and the importance they give to this knowledge as citizens and future professionals. A transdisciplinary approach, including physical and natural sciences, seems to o%er useful tools for the di'cult task of sociocultural community developers of "nding ways to deal with a reality full of complexities and ambiguities.Desde la primera versión del programa de formación del grado en Animación sociocultural de la Escuela Superior de Educación de Lisboa en 2006, el equipo docente consideró oportuno incluir un componente de ciencias físicas y naturales.

Esta necesidad de re!exividad sobre los riesgos trae desafíos adicionales a la formación e intervención de los profesionales de la animación sociocultural. Una encuesta a los estudiantes nos muestra cuáles son sus representaciones de las ciencias físicas y naturales y qué importancia atribuyen a este conocimiento como ciudadanos y animadores socioculturales. Un enfoque transdisciplinar, que incluye las ciencias físicas y naturales, parece o#ecer herramientas útiles, desde el punto de vista de la animación sociocultural, para la difícil tarea de encontrar formas de lidiar con una realidad llena de complejidades y ambigüedades.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Small but strong: Socioeconomic and ecological resilience of a small European fishing community affected by a submarine volcanic eruption

[Abstract] Small-scale coastal fishing communities are facing many new challenges, such as rapid ecological changes created by anthropogenic and natural events like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. This paper explores how a coastal population has responded to such an event and highlights the diverse coping strategies used to tackle it. This research was conducted on the island of El Hierro (Spain), where a submarine volcanic eruption occurred in 2011, affecting a multiple-use Marine Protected Area (MPA) and the nearby fishing community of La Restinga. Our study illustrates how the local population coped with this situation by combining multiple monetary and non-monetary activities (e.g., informal exchanges) as well as the role of institutions in increasing local resilience by supporting fishers' demands and allowing their participation in the decision-making process in the immediate wake of a catastrophic event. Local families also exploited various natural resources in and near the MPA, thus ensuring access to crucial marine resources and continued recreational/cultural services. The results suggest that collective action played a key role in the recovery process after the eruption, creating some advantages for different local groups despite the hazardous nature of the event.This was supported by the Cajacanarias Foundation and Fundación Bancaria “La Caixa'' [grant number 2017REC23], and the Ramón Areces Foundation through the XVII Call for Social Research Grant [grant number CISP17A5887].
