- MIPA-Mobile: monitorização da intervenção psicoterapêutica com adolescentes com recurso a aplicações móveis: resultados preliminaresPublication . Dias, Pedro; Campos, Joana; Lima, Vânia Sousa; Machado, Bárbara Cesar; Teixeira, Luís; Torres, Nuno; Lopes, LuizO principal objetivo do projeto MIPA-Mobile é desenvolver e testar um novo modelo de monitorização psicoterapêutica (MP) com adolescentes, com base numa aplicação informática, integrando informações de diferentes informantes-chave (i.e. pais, adolescentes e professores). Tradicionalmente, a avaliação de variáveis relevantes para a MP está focada em medidas de sintomatologia e/ou bem-estar, não sendo comum a inclusão de medidas de processo (e.g. aliança terapêutica). Além disso, a MP é geralmente conduzida através de instrumentos de papel-lápis, implicando tempo e recursos materiais que muitas vezes prejudicam a sua implementação. Este poster tem como objetivo apresentar o projeto MIPA-Mobile, refletindo sobre os resultados preliminares do estudo exploratório (a recolha de dados está em curso) ao nível do número de questionários preenchidos, do tempo médio de resposta aos questionários, da média do intervalo entre as sessões e as taxas de adesão. Os resultados serão discutidos em torno da viabilidade do recurso às novas tecnologias no processo de MP com adolescentes.
- MIPA-Mobile : monitoring psychotherapy with adolescents using mobile applicationsPublication . Dias, Pedro; Lima, Vânia Sousa; Machado, Bárbara César; Teixeira, Luís; Torres, Nuno; Campos, Joana; Lopes, LuizQuality of life and well-being have gained increasing importance in psychological assessment and psychological intervention, since research has shown that psychopathology has a negative impact on quality of life and this impact varies in degree and how the impact of the effects themselves is combined (Stevanovic, 2013). In this sense, psychological interventions should not only be aimed at reducing psychopathological symptoms, but also increasing quality of life and well-being (Oliveira, Dias, Gonçalves, & Machado, 2008), assumed to be a mediator between health and spirituality (Oliveira & Junges, 2012). Over the last years, a remarkable development has been shown in the study of psychotherapy outcome monitoring, defined as a systematic and repeated assessment of psychological variables during the process of psychological intervention; the psychological intervention process may change as a result of feedback from the monitoring process as well (McAleavey, Nordberg, Kraus, & Castonguay, 2012). Outcome monitoring contributes to an individualized intervention with the client, adjusted to real needs. This work aims to present the MIPA-Mobile project, directed to develop and to test a new model for monitoring psychological intervention with adolescents, based on a computer application, integrating information from different key-informants.
- EpiReumaPt: how to perform a national population based study - a practical guidePublication . Gouveia, Nélia; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Ramiro, Sofia; Machado, Pedro; Costa, Leonor Pereira da; Mourão, Ana Filipa; Silva, Inês; Rego, Tânia; Laires, Pedro; André, Rui; Mauricio, Luís; Romeu, José C.; Tavares, Viviana; Cerol, Jorge; Canhão, Helena; Branco, Jaime C.BACKGROUND: The aim of this article was to describe and discuss several strategies and standard operating procedures undertaken in the EpiReumaPt study - which was the first Portuguese, national, cross-sectional population-based study of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases (RMD). METHODS: The technical procedures, legal issues, management and practical questions were studied, analyzed and discussed with relevant stakeholders. During the 1st phase of EpiReumaPt the coordination team and Centro de Estudos de Sondagens e Opinião (CESOP) worked to recruit and interview 10,661 subjects. The 2nd phase involved the participation of a multidisciplinary team, several local authorities, a specialized vehicle ("mobile unit") and a specific software program for the clinical appointments. The development of specific recruitment strategies improved the participation rate. Blood samples were collected and sent to Biobanco-IMM and to a central lab for immediate measurements. In the 3rd phase the RMD diagnosis were validated by a team of three experienced rheumatologists - clinical data, imaging and lab test results were revised according to previously published classification criteria. CONCLUSION: EpiReumaPt was a nationwide project successfully conducted, which followed critical logistic/coordination and research strategies. EpiReumaPt methodology and coordination could be used as an example for other epidemiologic endeavors and public health policies.
- A historiographical approach to the Qur' an and Shari' a in late 19th century India: the case of Chiragh 'AliPublication . Mohomed, CarimoAnalysing the book The Proposed Political, Legal, and Social Reforms in the Ottoman Empire and Other Mohammadan States (1883) and undertaking a historical contextualization, this paper problematizes the epistemis and epistemological framework underlying the articulation of Chiragh 'Ali's discourse, focusing on how he viewed the Qur'an and Shari'a according to the intellectual debates in the 19th century. Often refuting, in his writings, missionary and Orientalist criticisms of Islam as being hostile to reason and incapable of reform, Chiragh 'Ali rather argued that the Islamic legal system and schools were human institutions capable of modification. While defending that the Qur'an taught religious doctrine and rules for morality, Chiragh 'Ali held the opinion that it did not support a detailed code of immutable civil law or dictate a specific political system, drawing on an examination of the traditional sources of the Islamic law and methods to overcome the rigidity of traditional theologians.
- EpiReumaPt - the study of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases in Portugal: a detailed view of the methodologyPublication . Rodrigues, Ana M.; Gouveia, Nélia; Costa, Leonor Pereira da; Eusébio, Mónica; Ramiro, Sofia; Machado, Pedro; Mourão, Ana Filipa; Silva, Inês; Laires, Pedro; Sepriano, Alexandre; Araújo, Filipe; Coelho, Pedro Simões; Gonçalves, Sónia; Zhao, Ana; Fonseca, João Eurico; Almeida, J. M. Caldas de; Tavares, Viviana; Silva, José António Pereira da; Barros, Henrique; Cerol, Jorge; Mendes, Jorge; Carmona, Loreto; Canhão, Helena; Branco, Jaime C.Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) are prevalent and leading causes of disability and consumption of healthcare and social resources. EpiReumaPt is a national population-based survey developed by the Portuguese Society of Rheumatology that aimed to estimate the prevalence of RMDs and determine their impact on function, quality of life, mental health and use of healthcare resources. This article describes in detail the design, methodology and planned analyses of EpiReumaPt. Recruitment started in September 2011 and finished in December 2013. This study involved a three-stage approach. The first step was a face-to-face survey performed by trained interviewers at the household of 10,661 subjects who where randomly selected by a stratified multistage sampling. A highly sensitive screening questionnaire for RMDs was used. Secondly, participants who screened positive (64%) for at least one RMD as well as 20% of individuals with a negative screening were invited for assessment by a rheumatologist. In total, 3,877 subjects participated in this second phase, where they were also invited to donate a blood sample to be stored at the Biobanco-IMM. History and physical examination, followed by appropriate laboratory and imaging tests were performed. At the end of the visit, the rheumatologist established a diagnosis. Finally, a team of three experienced rheumatologists reviewed all the clinical data and defined the diagnoses according to previously validated criteria. The EpiReumaPt dataset, containing data from several questionnaires, various clinical measurements and information from laboratory and imaging tests, comprises an invaluable asset for research. The large amount of information collected from each participant and the large number of participants, with a wide age range covering and being representative of the adults from the entire country, makes EpiReumaPt the largest study of RMDs performed in Portugal.
- A importância da vida no pó: aerobiologia na conservação preventivaPublication . Moreira, Patrícia R.; Pintado, ManuelaPara os profissionais de conservação e restauro, museólogos e curadores ligados a instituições culturais, públicas ou privadas, o controlo do pó representa um desafio, já que implica encontrar um equilíbrio entre o desgaste pela limpeza e o risco físico substancial de biodeterioração para os objectos culturais das colecções. A sua constituição em termos de microrganismos ou esporos, origem e formas de dispersão, variação sazonal, potencial de acumulação e formação de biofilmes, são informações obtidas pela aerobiologia e microbiologia que são relevantes no processo de decisão de adopção de intervenções, quer no campo da conservação curativa, quer no da conservação preventiva. A presença de componentes fúngicos nos bioaerosóis, monitorização do ar e sua utilização como indicador ecológico para o controlo de biocontaminação e a sua aplicação a casos específicos serão discutidos na sua estreita relação com a colonização na superfície de obras de arte e potencial biodeterioração daí resultante.
