- Acceptance of traditional and innovative chickpea dishes by Portuguese home cooks: influence of eating habits, cooking skills and cooking confidencePublication . Pereira, J. F.; Costa, A. I. A.; Cunha, L. M.Home cooks’ preferences and skills have a major impact on household food acceptance and intake. The effects of Portuguese home cooks’ eating habits, cooking skills and confidence in cooking legumes on their acceptance of traditional and innovative chickpea starters and entrées were investigated. Forty-three home cooks (24-50 years, 56% women and with higher education) answered an online questionnaire on general food attitudes and behaviour, and were subsequently interviewed about their chickpea dish preferences. They were first shown cards describing classic Portuguese dishes (chickpea and spinach soup, chickpea and vegetable salad, and Rancho - chickpea, pasta and meat stew) and asked to rate them on a 9-point hedonic scale. Next, they were shown cards describing innovative dish prototypes (sprouted chickpea protein soup, sprouted chickpea and vegetable terrine, and a roasted chickpea and meat burger) and asked to rate their willingness-to-try on a 9-point Food Action Rating Scale. Only 42% of participants rated themselves as ‘good home cooks’. Still, almost all were, to some extent, confident they could prepare tasty and healthy meals using legumes. Most of them (~80%) ate legumes frequently (>2x/week), while consuming chickpeas (70%) much less often (<2x/month). Acceptance of the classic Portuguese cuisine dishes was significantly higher than willingness to try the innovative chickpea dishes - 7.5±1.0 and 6.9±0.9, respectively (t(42)=3.12, p=0.003). Particularly, the chickpea and vegetable salad was significantly more liked than the chickpea and vegetable terrine (t(42)=5.16, p<0.01). Findings will help devise strategies for designing new chickpea dishes with high consumer acceptance, thereby contributing to increase legume intake in Portuguese households.
- Adaptação improvisada em equipa: um modelo de adaptação em tempo realPublication . Abrantes, António Cunha Meneses; Passos, Ana Margarida; Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Costa, Patrícia LopesQuando as equipas precisam de se adaptar num contexto de escassez extrema de tempo, elas podem paralisar, podem manter o plano anterior, ou podem improvisar um novo plano. Este último fenómeno consiste na adaptação improvisada em equipa. Sendo um conceito recente, pouco se sabe sobre como as equipas se podem adaptar eficazmente em situações de carência temporal, e como podem produzir conhecimento a partir destes processos. Neste artigo conceptual, desenvolvemos um modelo teórico, baseado num fluxo temporal, o qual contribui para um melhor entendimento da adaptação improvisada. Propomos um conjunto de fatores de influência temporais, moderadores da resposta a estímulos contingenciais, e um conjunto de processos de equipa, fundamentais para a eficácia da adaptação improvisada. Propomos, ainda, que a reflexividade em equipa medeia a relação da adaptação improvisada com a aprendizagem. Ao explorar o fluxo temporal da adaptação improvisada em equipa, estendemos as literaturas de improvisação e de adaptação, aumentando a granularidade dos construtos, alargando a sua rede nomológica.

- An international survey of perceptions of the 2014 FIFA World Cup: national levels of corruption as a context for perceptions of institutional corruptionPublication . Nezlek, John B.; Newman, David B.; Schütz, Astrid; Baumeister, Roy F.; Schug, Joanna; Joshanloo, Mohsen; Lopes, Paulo N.; Alt, Nicholas P.; Cypryańska, Marzena; Depietri, Marco; Gorbaniuk, Oleg; Huguet, Pascal; Kafetsios, Konstantinos; Koydemir, Selda; Kuppens, Peter; Park, Sanghee; Martin, Alvaro San; Schaafsma, Juliette; Simunovic, Dora; Yokota, KunihiroWe conducted a survey about the 2014 FIFA World Cup that measured attitudes about FIFA, players, and officials in 18 languages with 4600 respondents from 29 countries. Sixty percent of respondents perceived FIFA officials as being dishonest, and people from countries with less institutional corruption and stronger rule of law perceived FIFA officials as being more corrupt and less competent running the tournament than people from countries with more corruption and weaker rule of law. In contrast, respondents evaluated players as skilled and honest and match officials as competent and honest. We discuss the implications of our findings for perceptions of corruption in general.
- Antecedents and consequences of collective psychological ownership: the validation of a conceptual modelPublication . Giordano, Ana Paula; Patient, David; Passos, Ana Margarida; Sguera, FrancescoWe investigate team member feelings of collective psychological ownership (CPO) over teamwork products, the psychological paths that lead to it, and its impact on team workers' evaluations of team effectiveness, turnover intentions, and intentions to champion teamwork products. We focus on the teamwork product as an important target of ownership feelings, building on theories of self-extension, psychological ownership, and team emergent states. In Study 1, we validate measures for three ownership activating experiences (OAE) that have been proposed as paths to CPO (control over, intimate knowledge regarding, and investment in the teamwork product) using two samples of individual team workers (n = 210 and n = 140). In Study 2 (n = 183) and Study 3 (n = 200), we use surveys and a multiwave design to show that team workers' feelings of CPO mediate the relationship between investment in and intimate knowledge regarding the product and team effectiveness evaluations, team turnover intentions, and intentions to champion the work product. In Study 4 (n = 48 teams), CPO was predicted by the ownership activating experiences, at the team level. This research additionally highlights the benefits to organizations of creating conditions for the emergence of employee feelings of shared ownership over teamwork products.
- Antidiabéticos orais e internamentos atribuíveis à diabetes em PortugalPublication . Gouveia, Miguel; Laires, Pedro; Borges, Margarida; Augusto, Margarida; Martins, Ana PaulaIntrodução: O crescimento da despesa com antidiabéticos orais tem levado a preocupações questionando os ganhos de saúde e vantagens para o sistema de saúde gerados por esses medicamentos. Este estudo contribui para responder a estas questões.Material e Métodos: Numa primeira fase apresentam-se estimativas das três variáveis centrais a utilizar na análise: 1) a prevalência tratada da diabetes por ano e por região de saúde baseadas nos consumos de antidiabéticos orais, 2) o número de episódios de internamento hospitalar atribuíveis à diabetes com base nos riscos relativos das várias patologias e os seus custos e 3) uma caracterização quantitativa dos antidiabéticos orais consumidos através do cálculo da sua vintage média. Através do uso de observações para 10anos e cinco regiões, perfazendo um total de 50 observações, foi possível estimar um modelo econométrico explicando estatisticamente os internamentos e os custos hospitalares atribuíveis à diabetes por características regionais, pela prevalência tratada e pelavintage média dos antidiabéticos orais. Resultados: Os resultados dos modelos de regressão múltipla mostram que as despesas hospitalares são proporcionais à prevalência tratada, tudo o mais constante mas que quanto mais recente for a vintage dos antidiabéticos orais usados menores são os custos hospitalares. Os efeitos para o número de internamentos são similares. Discussão e Conclusões: Para uma observação média na amostra, se a vintage média dos antidiabéticos orais fosse um ano superior então os custos hospitalares seriam 5,3% inferiores (cerca de € 11 milhões em 2009) e o número de internamentos seria 3,8% menor (cerca de menos 3965 episódios em 2009). Um exercício contra factual permite estimar que para o ano de 2009 a introdução da classe dos inibidores de DPP IV permitiu reduzir o número de internamentos atribuíveis à diabetes em 8480 e com isso poupar €23,3 milhões em custos hospitalares.
- Atherosclerosis in the primary health care setting: a real-word data studyPublication . Ascenção, Raquel; Alarcão, Joana; Araújo, Francisco; Costa, João; Fiorentino, Francesca; Gil, Victor; Gouveia, Miguel; Lourenço, Francisco; Mello e Silva, Alberto; Vaz Carneiro, António; Borges, MargaridaIntroduction and Objectives: To characterize patients with atherosclerosis, a disease with a high socioeconomic impact, in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Health Region. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out through the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Regional Health Administration primary health care database, extracting data on the clinical and demographic characteristics and resource use of adult primary health care users with atherosclerosis during 2016. Different criteria were used to define atherosclerosis (presence of clinical manifestations, atherothrombotic risk factors and/or consumption of drugs related to atherosclerosis). Comparisons between different subpopulations were performed using parametric tests. Results: A total of 318 692 users were identified, most of whom (n=224 845 users; 71%) had no recorded clinical manifestations. The subpopulation with clinical manifestations were older (72.0±11.5 vs. 71.3±11.0 years), with a higher proportion of men (58.0% vs. 45.9%), recorded hypertension (78.3% vs. 73.5%) and dyslipidemia (55.8% vs. 53.5%), and a lower proportion of recorded obesity (18.2% vs. 20.8%), compared to those without clinical manifestations (p<0.001). Mean blood pressure, LDL-C and glycated hemoglobin values were lower in the subpopulation with manifestations (142/74 vs. 146/76 mmHg, 101 vs. 108 mg/dl, and 6.80 vs. 6.84%, respectively; p<0.001). Each user with atherosclerosis attended 4.1±2.9 face-to-face medical consultations and underwent 8.6±10.0 laboratory test panels, with differences in subpopulations with and without clinical manifestations (4.4±3.2 vs. 4.0±2.8 and 8.3±10.3 vs. 8.7±9.8, respectively; p<0.001). Conclusions: About one in three adult primary health care users with atherosclerosis have clinical manifestations. The results suggest that control of cardiovascular risk factors is suboptimal in patients with atherosclerosis.
- Attention trajectories capture utility accumulation and predict brand choicePublication . Martinovici, Ana; Pieters, Rik; Erdem, TülinTrajectories of attention capture the accumulation of brand utility during complex decision-making tasks. Thus, attention trajectories, as reflected in eye movements, predict the final brand choice of 85% of consumers before they implement it. Even when observing eye movements in only the first quarter of the decision process, attention already predicts brand choice much better (45%) than chance levels (20%). This superior prediction performance is due to a “double attention lift” for the chosen brand: The chosen brand receives progressively more attention toward the moment of choice, and more of this attention is devoted to integrating information about the brand rather than to comparing it with other options. In contrast, the currently owned brand grabs attention early in the task, and its attention gain persists for brand-loyal consumers and shifts for brand-switching consumers. A new attention and choice model used in tandem with the Bayesian K-fold cross-validation methodology on eye-tracking data from 325 representative consumers uncovered these attention trajectory effects. The findings contribute to closing important knowledge gaps in the attention and choice literature and have implications for marketing research and managerial practice.
- Attitudes toward money and control strategies of financial behavior: a comparison between overindebted and non-overindebted consumersPublication . Almeida, Filipa de; Ferreira, Mário B.; Soro, Jerônimo C.; Silva, Carla SofiaThis paper addresses whether overindebted and non-overindebted consumers differ in their attitude toward money (specifically, the degree to which consumers care about money and feel difficulties keeping track of their money) and how this attitude impacts three different financial behavior categories: record keeping (e.g., recording spending in writing), adjusting balance (e.g., trying to find ways to decrease one’s expenses to match income), and monitoring balance (e.g., monitoring one’s spending to see if it is in line with what is expected). Overindebted consumers were recruited via an NGO for consumer defense and were categorized (whenever possible) into two subgroups: consumers who became overindebted due to internal causes (e.g., bad financial management) and consumers who became overindebted due to external causes (e.g., unemployment). Non-overindebted consumers were a convenience sample. Non-overindebted consumers showed more positive attitudes toward money than both groups of overindebted consumers and overindebted due to external causes showed more positive attitudes than overindebted consumers due to internal causes. All groups share similar financial management behaviors except for monitoring balance, which was more frequent among non-overindebted consumers. Furthermore, a regression analysis indicates that money attitudes helped explain financial behavior differences between consumers above and beyond their indebtedness status. Consumers’ attitude predicted financial behaviors, even when controlling for relevant socioeconomic variables (education, income, age, and gender). Further analyses comparing money attitudes and financial behavior for the three subgroups (non-overindebted, overindebted due to internal causes, and overindebted due to external causes) showed no differences.
- Avaliação económica de ticagrelor em prevenção secundária pós Síndroma Coronária AgudaPublication . Gouveia, Miguel; Borges, Margarida; Trindade, Rosário; Rikner, KlasIntrodução e objetivos: Estimar os rácios custo-efetividade e custo-utilidade da utilizac¸ão deticagrelor versus clopidogrel no tratamento de doentes com síndromas coronárias agudas(angina instável, enfarte do miocárdio sem elevac¸ão ST [NSTEMI] ou enfarte do miocárdio comelevac¸ão ST [STEMI]); incluindo doentes sujeitos a tratamento médico e aqueles geridoscom intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) ou bypass aortocoronário com enxerto (CABG). Metodologia: Foi utilizada uma árvore de decisão de curto prazo e um modelo de Markov delongo prazo para simular a progressão dos doentes no decurso da sua vida. Os dados de eficácia clínica foram recolhidos a partir do ensaio clínico PLATO e os dados de consumo de recursos foram obtidos na Contabilidade Analítica do Hospital de Santa Marta, legislação dos GDH e consulta de bibliografia disponível. Resultados: Ticagrelor proporciona, a cada doente, um incremento de 0,1276 anos de vida e0,1106 QALY. Na perspectiva da sociedade, estes ganhos implicam um aumento da despesa em 610 D . Obtêm-se, assim, um custo incremental por ano de vida salvo de 4780 D e um custo incremental por QALY de 5517 D . Conclusões: Os resultados obtidos mostram que o ticagrelor diminui a quantidade de eventos,quando comparado com clopidogrel. Os custos com ticagrelor são parcialmente compensados por uma diminuição dos custos decorrentes dos eventos evitados. Assim, a utilização de ticagrelor na prática clínica portuguesa é custo-efetiva quando comparado com a abordagem com clopidogrel.
