Economia circular e desperdício alimentar : o caso da Cooperativa Fruta Feia

Mestrado em Economia Internacional e Estudos EuropeusO objetivo deste trabalho é discutir em que medida a Economia Circular (EC) pode ser útil no combate ao desperdício alimentar (DA). Depois de fazermos uma revisão de literatura não sistemática sobre os conceitos EC, Desperdício e Perdas Alimentares e sobre a relação entre ambos, baseámo-nos num estudo de caso - a Cooperativa Fruta Feia - para concretizar a discussão sobre o contributo da EC para a redução do DA. Concluímos que a EC contribui para a redução do desperdício.The aim of this work is to discuss the extent to which the Circular Economy (CE) can be useful in combating food waste (FW). After a non-systematic reviewing of the literature on the concepts of CE, Waste and Food Losses and on the relationship between both, we relied on a case study - the Cooperativa Fruta Feia - to implement the discussion on the contribution of CE to the reduction of FW. We conclude that CE contributes to the reduction of FW.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The gastronomy essence in cultural valorization : the case of Slow Food in the Azores

O Slow Food é um movimento internacional que valoriza os produtos alimentares tradicionais, artesanais e locais. Privilegia a culinária na sua origem, relacionando-a com os hábitos e cultura de um povo. Preserva a biodiversidade e a sustentabilidade do mundo rural, defendendo o prazer de uma experiência gastronómica. É um movimento que surge como expressão alternativa do fast food, mas ainda sem registo nos Açores. Este projeto promove a sua implementação nesta Região, com o aproveitamento dos recursos naturais, culturais, gastronómicos e tradicionais que tanto a valorizam. Tem por base a incrementação do valor da identidade gastronómica e cultural do arquipélago, potenciando o seu sector turístico. Foram efetuados inquéritos a Chefs, empresários, outros agentes e pessoas singulares ligadas à restauração e à gastronomia local, para complementar o estudo de implementação deste conceito nos Açores. Os resultados demonstram que a maioria dos inquiridos já tem algum conhecimento da filosofia Slow Food, abordam o tema com entusiasmo e reconhecem ser uma experiência diferenciadora que valorizará a oferta turística. O Slow Foodvisa atingir um nicho de mercado sensibilizado pela procura de produtos turísticos naturais, representando simultaneamente uma fuga aos destinos massificados, na procura do sossego e tranquilidade que a natureza pode oferecer.ABSTRACT: Slow Food is an international movement that values the regional traditions, artisanal and local food. It privileges the cuisine at its source linking it to the habits and culture of a people. It preserves biodiversity and the sustainability of the rural world, defending the pleasure of a fine dining experience. This movement emerges as an alternative expression of fast food in the world today though does not yet exists in the Azores. This project promotes the implementation in this region, with the use of natural, cultural, gastronomic and traditional resources that both value. It is based on incrementing the value of the gastronomic and cultural identity of the archipelago, enhancing its tourist sector. Questionnaire surveys were made to Chefs, managers, agents and other individuals linked to the restoration and local cuisine to complement the study of implementation of this concept in the Azores. The results show that the majority of respondents already have some knowledge of the Slow Food philosophy; they approach the subject with enthusiasm and acknowledge to be a distinctive experience that will value the tourist offer. Slow Food aims to reach a niche market moved by demand for natural tourism products, while representing an escape from the mass market destinations in search of peace and tranquillity that nature can offer.N/

INTERVENÇÕES FISIOTERAPÊUTICAS NO PÓS-OPERATÓRIO DE HEMANGIOMA CEREBELAR: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

O hemangioma ou cavernoma cerebelar é um tumor benigno que se localiza no interior do parênquima cerebelar. É formado por um emaranhado de vasos sanguíneos, caracterizado pela má formação vascular. A cirurgia geralmente causa alguns déficits motores que podem ser temporários ou permanentes e que prejudicam o indivíduo na prática de suas atividades diárias. A fisioterapia assume, então, um papel importantíssimo na reabilitação pós-cirúrgica. O estudo analisou, mediante um relato de caso e a utilização da Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF), a influência do treino funcional (TF) no ganho de funcionalidade nas diversas tarefas da vida diária. Os resultados apontam para uma melhora significativa nos escores da MIF. Concluiu-se que o TF demonstrou ter um imprescindível papel na reabilitação neurológica em pacientes pós-operados de hemangioma cerebelar e sugere que o TF seja um importante facilitador da neuroplasticidade

Effects of Brazil's political crisis on the science needed for biodiversity conservation

The effects of Brazil’s political crisis on science funding necessary for biodiversity conservation are likely to be global. Brazil is not only the world’s most biodiverse nation, it is responsible for the greater part of the Amazon forest, which regulates the climate and provides rain to much of southern South America. Brazil was a world leader in satellite monitoring of land-use change, in-situ biodiversity monitoring, reduction in tropical-forest deforestation, protection of indigenous lands, and a model for other developing nations. Coordinated public responses will be necessary to prevent special-interest groups from using the political crisis to weaken science funding, environmental legislation and law enforcement. Keywords: Brazil, biodiversity, climate change, governance, fundin

Publisher Copyright: © 2018 The AuthorsMultiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease, with little information available on its management in real-world clinical practice. The results of the present prospective, noninterventional observational study revealed great diversity in the treatment regimens used to treat MM. Our results also provide data to inform health economic, pharmacoepidemiologic, and outcomes research, providing a framework for the design of protocols to improve the outcomes of patients with MM. Background: The present prospective, multinational, noninterventional study aimed to document and describe real-world treatment regimens and disease progression in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Patients and Methods: Adult patients initiating any new MM therapy from October 2010 to October 2012 were eligible. A multistage patient/site recruitment model was applied to minimize the selection bias; enrollment was stratified by country, region, and practice type. The patient medical and disease features, treatment history, and remission status were recorded at baseline, and prospective data on treatment, efficacy, and safety were collected electronically every 3 months. Results: A total of 2358 patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 775 and 1583 did and did not undergo stem cell transplantation (SCT) at any time during treatment, respectively. Of the patients in the SCT and non-SCT groups, 49%, 21%, 14%, and 15% and 57%, 20%, 12% and 10% were enrolled at treatment line 1, 2, 3, and ≥ 4, respectively. In the SCT and non-SCT groups, 45% and 54% of the patients had received bortezomib-based therapy without thalidomide/lenalidomide, 12% and 18% had received thalidomide/lenalidomide-based therapy without bortezomib, and 30% and 4% had received bortezomib plus thalidomide/lenalidomide-based therapy as frontline treatment, respectively. The corresponding proportions of SCT and non-SCT patients in lines 2, 3, and ≥ 4 were 45% and 37%, 30% and 37%, and 12% and 3%, 33% and 27%, 35% and 32%, and 8% and 2%, and 27% and 27%, 27% and 23%, and 6% and 4%, respectively. In the SCT and non-SCT patients, the overall response rate was 86% to 97% and 64% to 85% in line 1, 74% to 78% and 59% to 68% in line 2, 55% to 83% and 48% to 60% in line 3, and 49% to 65% and 36% and 45% in line 4, respectively, for regimens that included bortezomib and/or thalidomide/lenalidomide. Conclusion: The results of our prospective study have revealed great diversity in the treatment regimens used to manage MM in real-life practice. This diversity was linked to factors such as novel agent accessibility and evolving treatment recommendations. Our results provide insight into associated clinical benefits.publishersversionPeer reviewe

Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search

Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.Peer reviewe

O final dos reinos: Diálogos entre Tiwanaku e La Aguada

Este escrito pone de nuevo a dialogar las iconografías de Tiwanaku (altiplano del Titicaca, Bolivia) y La Aguada (Noroeste de la Argentina), a más de 40 años de los trabajos de Rex González y de Ponce Sanginés. Lo hace en un contexto enteramente diferente con un énfasis decolonial. Objetos, imágenes, información etnográfica y arqueólogos de ambos lados de una frontera entre "naciones", se ensamblan con la clara intención de cuestionar supuestos subyacentes muy profundos de la arqueología. Metodología: a partir de los caminos que plantean las imágenes y colores, se amarran en estos nudos también los humanos y las cosas, las experiencias chamánicas y los fenómenos meteorológicos, todos enlazados de modo relacional. Conclusiones: tras poner a dialogar a La Aguada y Tiwanaku, con base en nuestras trayectorias investigativas, la discusión desemboca en una reflexión acerca de las consecuencias presentes de naturalizar miradas segmentadas y funcionalistas de los mundos animales y vegetales en el pasado, que se originan en los subyacentes ontológicos de nuestra propia modernidad. Originalidad: el texto apunta a abordar la crítica decolonial a partir del estudio de casos concretos y a aportar a esos debates desde materialidades arqueológicas.This paper once again brings the iconographies of Tiwanaku (Titicaca high plateau, Bolivia) and La Aguada (Northwest of Argentina) into discussion, more than 40 years after the works of Rex González and Ponce Sanginés. It does so in an entirely different context with a decolonial emphasis. Objects, images, ethnographic information and archaeologists from both sides of a border between “nations” are assembled with the clear intention of questioning very deep underlying assumptions of archaeology. Methodology: Beginning with the paths posed by images and colors, these knots also bind humans and things, shamanic experiences and meteorological phenomena. Conclusions: After bringing La Aguada and Tiwanaku into dialogue, based on our research trajectories, the discussion leads to a reflection on the present consequences of naturalizing segmented and functionalist gazes of the animal and plant worlds in the past, which originate in the ontological underpinnings of our own modernity. Originality: The text aims to approach decolonial criticism from the study of concrete cases and to contribute to these debates on the basis of archaeological materiality.Fil: Marconetto, María Bernarda.
