  • Parentalidade e educação positiva
    Publication . Santos, Andreia Filipa Oliveira Correia Vasconcelos dos; Pocinho, Margarida Maria Ferreira Diogo Dias; Garcês, Soraia Fernandes
    O bem-estar é um fator determinante no processo de crescimento humano sendo um bom preditor de diversas variáveis como melhor saúde física, mental, relações mais satisfatórias, pensamento mais criativo e de aquisição de melhores aprendizagens. A Psicologia Positiva enquanto abordagem preventiva tem levado a Psicologia da Educação a interessar-se pelos benefícios da promoção do bem-estar em contexto educativo. Esta investigação teve como objetivo implementar um programa de Educação Positiva com alunos de 2.º e 3.º ciclos, e avaliar o seu impacto no bem-estar, regulação emocional, comportamento e desempenho académico dos alunos. Em simultâneo, foi implementado um programa de Educação Parental com cinco mães que lhes ofereceu a oportunidade de aperfeiçoar as suas competências educativas. Analisou-se o interesse, o grau de satisfação e a eficácia/impacto relativamente a esta intervenção. Os resultados indicam que a intervenção promoveu emoções mais positivas nos alunos, aquisição de maior clareza dos seus sentimentos, emoções e reparação emocional. Houve ainda uma melhoria da concentração, autocontrolo, autonomia, motivação para o estudo e desempenho escolar. A intervenção parental demonstrou satisfação generalizada pelas aprendizagens, mudanças e relações mais positivas com os filhos.

  • Application of quality, safety and traceability system procedures in the aquaculture production of new species in the Madeira Autonomous Region (RAM)
    Publication . Freitas, Jorge Dinis Câmara; Câmara, José de Sousa; Vaz-Pires, Paulo Manuel Rodrigues
    The resolution of issues related with sustainability and food safety by the industry requires transformation and adaptation to new monitoring/evaluation procedures, to assure consumers about the proclaimed quality. Therefore, this work aims to support the knowledge transference to the industry assisting in the adaptations required to this new paradigm of the aquaculture sector. Three main areas were identified to demonstrate overall quality: freshness, traceability, and safety. Product freshness was studied to improve knowledge about spoilage evolution of the fish species produced in the aquaculture facilities. During this study it was possible to develop a sensory approach based on QIM methodology for data collection and treatment. A timeline for the product spoilage was determined for the studied species, for gilthead seabream it was established 9 days (±1 day) and for greater amberjack 12 days (±1 day). Product traceability studies were focused on the development of a methodology to determine the fish origin. The method studied was based on protein mass fingerprint of the fish mucus, acquired using MALDI-TOF equipment. As result it was possible to discriminate between samples with different origins, resulting in a list of 35 potential biomarkers. The bacterial community around the production cages was selected as a safety concern. Therefore, the MALDI-TOF equipment capabilities were studied to accomplish the microorganisms’ identification. As a main result, it was confirmed the possibility to use the Ribopeaks database to assess the bacterial community diversity around sea cages and its seasonal variation. The multi-disciplinary approach used in this project was very useful in the improvement of the company knowledge and management procedures. It also contributes with indications on how to address relevant issues on the aquaculture sector, such as traceability, safety, and freshness, from the methodologies that can be used to how to gather and treat the data.
