- Associations and determinants of mother-infant quality interactions in Portuguese dyads from AzoresPublication . Soares, Hélia; Fuertes, Marina; Pereira, Sandra; Barberi, Maria do CéuBowlby and many other developmental and family theorists stressed that early socialization is a bi-directional, reciprocal, relationship-based process between infant and caregiver (e.g., Brazelton, Koslowski, & Main, 1974; Bronfenbrenner, & Morris, 1998; Harrist, & Waugh, 2002; Bronfenbrenner, 2005). These first relational experiences affect infant development and maternal sensitivity during the first year of life, remaining the best single predictor of infant secure attachment across studies, despite the relatively small effect sizes (e.g., Wolff and van IJzendoorn, 1997).Therefore, we select a rural Portuguese community in Terceira (Azores Is-land) to investigate the association between mother-infant quality of interaction and infant development, and to identify the determinants of mother-infant quality of interaction. The sample included 86 healthy infants (each of 46 girls, 48 first born) and their mothers. At 11 months, infant development was assessed with Schedule of Growing Skills II (SGS II). To assess mother-infant quality of interaction, the dyads were observed in free play at 12 months using the Crittenden CARE-Index. Maternal sensitivity and infant cooperative behavior were correlated with SGS II global scores and sub-scales (except for Locomotor and Self-care Social). Infant interactive behavior, gestational age and milk feeding predicted maternal sensitivity. Infant cooperative behavior was determined by their number of siblings and mother interactive behavior. This study novelty remains in the fact that parents’ choice to feed their infant with bottle milk (cow´s milk) against medical advice predicted maternal sensitivity. This research presents individual, social and cultural explanations for mother-infant quality of interaction and suggest that early intervention practices may rely on systemic approaches and professionals should attempt to understand families’ traditions and their specific culture.

- A comparative analysis of EU member states and their performance regarding the UN climate change agenda (UN SDG 13 - climate action)Publication . Sena, Marina B.; Costa, Leonardo; Leitão, AlexandraThe objective of this research is to assess the performance of the European Union 27 (EU27), its regions and Member States (MSs) towards the Climate Action Sustainable Development Goal (SDG13) from the United Nations 2030 Agenda. To do so, we used the Alkire-Foster (AF) method, developing the Multidimensional Climate Action Index (MCAI) framework. Results show that the EU27 and its regions are not performing satisfactorily. The individual composite scores of the MCAI framework revealed a better individual performance of individual Member States when compared to their group performances. There is a relationship between high level of GDP per capita and satisfactory performance. Southern Europe and Central and Eastern Europe are the regions that perform most poorly against SDG13. Southern Europe, most exposed to Climate Change related losses, is suffering the greatest negative effects related to Climate Change. Central and Eastern Europe perform poorly in promoting social political awareness of Climate Change.

- Uma defesa da migração como direito humano: problemas, desafios e tarefasPublication . Marcelo, GonçaloEste artigo apresenta uma defesa do direito à migração e ao asilo numa perspetiva de Direitos Humanos, tendo como pano de fundo a recente crise dos refugiados na Europa. Identifica brevemente: 1) os problemas (falência do paradigma do Estado-Nação e ineficácia do Direito Internacional, falta de solidariedade de muitos povos, incluindo e sobretudo o Europeu); 2) os desafios, como a tentativa de desligar a representação política e a atribuição de direitos do quadro estrito da cidadania nacional, e 3) possíveis tarefas que nos permitam encaminhar nesse sentido, como a transnacionalização da esfera da opinião pública e o reforço da pedagogia dos direitos humanos. Atualmente, colocar a questão nestes termos talvez mais não seja que uma utopia mas a transição da teoria ideal para a possível implementação passa obviamente pela capacidade de decompor o ideal num conjunto de tarefas que talvez sejam parcialmente realizáveis. A ser possível, a realização deste objetivo implicaria uma solução obviamente top-down que providenciasse maior eficácia ao direito internacional mas que provavelmente nunca será atingida se não houver pressão dos processos bottom-up, isto é, da própria opinião pública mundial.
- Destructive leadership paradoxesPublication . Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Simpson, Ace Volkmann; Rego, Arménio; Berti, MarcoThe paradoxical side of leadership is being increasingly studied by management and organization scholars. Organizational paradox theory has generally favored a synergistic understanding of paradoxical tensions, seen as opportunities to obtain competitive advantage through the generative integration of opposing but equally desirable results. Less attention has been given to the other side of paradoxical tensions: as destructive forces. We explore this darker side of paradox by discussing how leadership may impose irrational absurdities in the form of pragmatic paradoxes (self-defying demands that cannot be discussed or realized), and suggest ways to mitigate or neutralize their destructive effects.
