    AbstractObjective: Identify the state of the art about the influence of illness perceptions in the promotion of self-management in patients with COPD. Method: We conducted a systematic review of the literature, using the method of PICOS, the systematic literature review includes the years 2004 to 2009 and was conducted between August and September 2009. Results: Four articles met the inclusion criteria, including a review of the literature and three qualitative studies. Clients with higher perception of disease control and greater self-efficacy, with stable emotional situations, have better results in self-control of the disease. The evaluation, discussion and clarification of beliefs, attitudes and their impact on self-confidence and self-control should be integrated into clinical practice. Conclusion: The perceived lack of control over the course of the disease contributes to reduced quality of life, creates anxiety, leads to social isolation, can lead to depression, and reduces the motivation to acquire knowledge and skills for self-control disease. The lack of motivation, the inability to recognize the cognitive, instrumental capabilities, social support and support of health professionals, power the low self-control of the disease and non-adherence to therapy.Rev Port Pneumol 2010; XVI (4): 641-64

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Author(s)We study the firm-level responses to a substantial increase in transportation costs in the wake of a quasi-experiment that introduced tolls in a subset of Portuguese highways. Exploiting a unique dataset encompassing the universe of Portuguese private firms, we find that the introduction of tolls caused a substantial decrease in turnover (−10.2%) and productivity (−4.3%) in treated firms vis-à-vis firms in the comparison group. In response to the tolls, firms substantially cut employment-related expenses and purchases of other inputs. Labor costs were reduced by both employment cuts and a decrease in average wages. While firms did not increase inventory, there is some evidence for increased firm exit, in particular by firms in tradables sectors.publishersversionpublishe

    Assumptions and problems with Fe-Mg garnet - biotite diffusion based petrological cooling rates : a case study in granulites and migmatites from central Ribeira Fold Belt, SE Brazil

    Get PDF
    O sector São Fidelis - Santo António de Pádua, pertencente à zona central da Faixa Ribeira, é fundamentalmente composto por migmatites, granulitos e blasmilonitos. A aplicação de diferentes metodologias com o objectivo de obetr taxas de arrefecimento baseadas na difusão Fe-Mg entre granada e respectivas inclusões de biotite revelou-se infrutífera. Tal deve-se fundamentalmente a: a) elevada dispersão dos resultados causada pela existência de um sistema aberto; b) estreita variação das temperaturas de fecho do sistema causada por re-homogeneização da granada e altas temperaturas seguida de arrefecimento muito rápido. Os resultados obtidos são fundamentalmente qualitativos, mas estão de acordo com resultados termocronológicos previamente obtidos baseados na integração de múltiplos sistemas isotópicos
