- Social networks as tools for the prevention and promotion of health among youthPublication . Castillo, José Antonio García del; Castillo-López, Álvaro García del; Dias, Paulo César; García-Castillo, FernandoThe emergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) has generated a number of research questions, related to their use and potential risk, but also potentials for prevention or health promotion. Online social networks have become an important source of information for users as well as a tool for social relations. As traditional social networks, they can act as vehicles to improve the health of adolescents and youth, as well as play a key role in an educational context. The aim of this work is then to explore the theoretical relevance of ICT, particularly on online social networks, on disease prevention and health promotion of communicable diseases. Literature review points out the role of online social networks, particularly in the field of sexual health, body image, especially eating habits and overweight, as well as smoking and alcohol dependence. Data allow us to understand how online social network behavior and interaction is related to their burden and interventions developed in sexual health and addiction show positive results. More efforts in body image are needed in order to use these tools for prevention and promotion of health from early age.
- Now, switch! Individuals’ responses to imposed switches between exploration and exploitationPublication . Bidmon, Christina M.; Boe-Lillegraven, SiriIndividual ambidexterity is an important micro-foundation of organizational ambidexterity. However, switching back-and-forth between exploration and exploitation can be challenging for individuals. Prior research has mostly focused on bottom-up approaches to stimulating individual ambidexterity, yet many organizations are characterized by greater top-down control. Exercising control may complicate the pursuit of individual ambidexterity because it amplifies switching resistance. We draw on an observational study of facilitated strategy workshops to explore the role of switching resistance and steps that can be taken to deal with it in top-down settings. Our findings suggest that imposing switches on individuals tends to trigger a distinct pattern of behavioral responses. Furthermore, we find that increasing control and offering emotional support can reduce switching resistance and help individuals execute ambidextrous work tasks. Our study contributes to the literature on individual ambidexterity by extending it from bottom-up to top-down settings. Specifically, we identify emotional, cognitive and behavioral drivers of switching resistance and unpack the process leading up to resistance. Furthermore, we identify organizational measures relevant for addressing such resistance and resolving ambidexterity at the individual level.
- Insights for the endorsement of a holistic approach for public sculpture research: the BIONANOSCULP projectPublication . Moreira, Patricia; Vieira, Eduarda; Abreu, José GuilhermeThis article reflects on the holistic approach for public sculpture research within the BIONANOSCULP project, focusing on the reasons behind the project development, its objectives, selected achievements and future outcomes. Focusing on one of the seven selected sculptures that were studied within the project, “Afonso de Albuquerque”, the reasons behind the selection of these public art works, their historical study, a critical assessment of their significance and conservation status are discussed. A brief description of the most significant analytical innovations of the project and insight on the future of sustainable conservation is presented.
- Purpose-driven consumption: building the dialogue between companies and consumersPublication . Colaço, Vera Herédia; Cruz, Nuno Moreira da; Almeida, Filipa Pires deThis research note integrates the rise of sustainable consumption into the concept of Purpose-driven Consumption and Purpose-driven Brands.

- Era uma vez a tradução...Publication . Moniz, Maria Lin; Gil, Isabel Capeloa; Lopes, AlexandraEsta coleção de ensaios traça caminhos percorridos e por percorrer numa área do saber crucial para o conhecimento dos modos como as culturas, suas línguas e literaturas se constroem em contacto com o(s) outro(s). Enquanto campo dos Estudos de Tradução, a história da tradução frequentemente transgride e reconfigura o que julgávamos saber sobre a história cultural, desafiando (três)leituras sobre a natureza complexa e sempre instável das práticas culturais. Os 40 estudos são dedicados a uma das mais relevantes figuras da história da tradução em Portugal: Teresa Seruya.
