- Psychological interventions for the treatment of patients with chronic dermatoses: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Almeida, Vera; Ferreira, Ângela; Veloso, Ana; Rocha, Rita; Leite, Ângela; Teixeira, AnaObjectives: Chronic dermatoses are extremely prevalent and can manifest in various forms across genders and ages. Faced with the symptoms experienced by these conditions and the patient’s perception of the disease and its manifestation, it often leads to isolation and difficulty in emotional regulation. All these symptoms are associated with low quality of life, resulting in depressive and anxious symptomatology. Methods: This systematic literature review aims to study psychosocial interventions with an impact on the treatment of patients with chronic dermatoses. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, guiding a systematic search across PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsycNet databases. The considered studies reported the impact of interventions when applied to patients with chronic dermatoses. All the studies found were published in peer-reviewed journals. Results: The analysis revealed that interventions based on mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-help showed promise, with several studies reporting reductions in disease-related suffering and improvements in quality of life. However, the results were heterogeneous, with some interventions showing no significant benefit over control conditions for specific outcomes like anxiety or appearance-related distress. Conclusions: The development of research lines to enhance knowledge in this field will allow for significant improvements in therapeutic care for patients with chronic dermatoses, aiming to support professionals in the development of integrative therapeutic strategies for these patients in their clinical practice.

- Circular procurement : an exploratory study of barriers to implementation and opportunitiesPublication . Ziino, Giulia; Carbone, ValentinaBusinesses across the world are facing the unprecedented challenge of long-term cost optimization and competitivity in a world where natural resources are scarce and become even scarcer by every passing day. As sustainability becomes more than just a nice-to-have for the survival itself of some lines of business, circular economy can be identified as an opportunity to produce better with less. This pivotal shift calls for operational and large-scale restructuring. This paper will investigate the yet unstructured market of circular supply chains, the challenges that inevitably arise, the barriers to large-scale implementation that company are currently facing and the solutions that have been, are and will be adopted.

- Standard agreements: review of the principles pacta sunt servanda, good faith and fairnessPublication . Priyono, Ery Agus; Saputra, Dimas Almeida; Nugroho, Satrio Sakti; Asih, Dharu TriThe use of standardized contracts today shows one side of the dominance of the modern economy by business entities or companies and even banks. Agreement is one of the main sources in civil law relationships, where the parties involved have the freedom to determine the contents and form of the agreement in accordance with Article 1338 of the Civil Code. In practice, this freedom often does not take place in a balanced manner, especially in standardized agreements. This research focuses on the principle of justice in standard agreements, where the agreement should be able to fulfill a sense of justice for the parties. Justice is very important in standard agreements, to avoid exploitative practices and ensure equal legal protection between the parties. Based on this narrative, it is important to examine how the principle of justice is applied, protected, and enforced in standard agreements that develop in the community. The approach used in this study is normative juridical, focusing on secondary data. The results of the study show that the application of the fairness aspect of contracting in agreements or standardized contracts is still far from expectations. Agreements made in standardized forms tend to benefit one party who has a stronger bargaining position, who usually acts as the "designer" of the standardized contract.
- Growth of Listeria monocytogenes during germination of mung bean sproutsPublication . Gomes, Joana; Barbosa, Joana; Teixeira, PaulaRising interest in healthier diets has increased demand for ready-to-eat products such as fresh vegetables and sprouts. However, Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen linked to listeriosis outbreaks from contaminated produce, can adhere to plant tissues and persist there for long periods once it contacts the surface.¹ Because the initial microbial load on seeds or plant surfaces strongly affects survival, spread, and penetration into plant tissues,² contaminated sprouts can ultimately carry high levels of microorganisms in the finished product.³
