Diversas investigaciones demuestran los efectos beneficiosos de la inteligencia emocional en el trabajo docente, por lo que se está convirtiendo cada vez más una competencia esencial para profesores. Aunque varios estudios han demostrado tiene un impacto positivo proceso enseñanza y aprendizaje, existen pocos instrumentos evaluar las habilidades competencias emocionales, específicamente El objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar análisis estructura interna Emotional Skills and Competence...
Emotional intelligence has been highlighted as a useful personal resource. However, in Portugal, few instruments assess this construct teachers. Considering that the Wong and Law Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) is scale with good psychometric properties assesses perception of emotional intelligence, present study aimed to analyze WLEIS Portuguese A total 835 primary secondary school teachers from public schools participated study. The job satisfaction scales were applied. Statistical analysis...
Research indicates that personal resources, such as emotional intelligence, play an important role in a teacher’s job performance. However, the relationship between intelligence and classroom management/discipline efficacy has been much less studied. Thus, main objective of this study was to analyze how teachers’ influences their management discipline efficacy. A total 772 teachers from Portuguese schools participated, completing measures for discipline. The results indicated, through...
(1) Background: The pandemic context has limited the social and family contacts of institutionalized older adults, intervention is urgently needed. aim this study to assess impact implementation a "Geriatric Proximity" on functioning, satisfaction with support, affective experience, feelings loneliness adults in times pandemic. (2) Methods: This pilot study. An experimental group (subject intervention) control were constituted. Four assessment instruments applied both groups: support scale;...
A patient is admitted with complaints of recent onset nausea, discomfort, jaundice and blood tests that reveal severe hepatitis. At the time, she had been taking medication Hypericum perforatum (St John's wort) for 6 months, weeks before this event, took flupirtine maleate. few days after being admitted, developed encephalopathy progressing to acute liver failure (ALF) requiring unsuccessful transplantation. The was ultimately diagnosed drug-induced injury (DILI). In context, while H. could...
After the analysis of criterion toxicological classification (TC) pesticides to honeybees and evolution TC legislation related theme, in Portugal, it is demonstrated how the absence rigorof Portuguese Pesticide Regulation Authority (AFN) suppliers contribute the very high probability mortality by pesticides and finally are presented proposals for optimization perspectives modify actual situation.
To reduce bee poisoning by pesticides it is very important: to know the hazard classification (HC)to allow the selection of the less dangerous pesticides; and adoption the safety precautions (SP), as SPe8, namely Do not apply crops in flower or when flowering weeds are present, already recommended Laboratorio de Fitofarmacologia 1965, almost 50 years. The graves official suppliers informations' deficiencies were evaluated the analysis of 66 labels and 80 Safety Data Sheet (SDS), accessible...
The pesticide risk could be acceptable if mitigation measures decided by EU are adopted. In Portugal that problematic is quite difficult in consequence of graves illegalities, as the CATPF 5 years not working and the systematic practice, at official level (ex: DGPC/DGADR Warning Service) pesticides suppliers, of a political to hide information that is essential to: selection of less dangerous human health environment; knowledge indispensable appropriate reduce those risks as much possible;...
Laser spectroscopy of the Lamb shift (2S-2P energy difference) in light muonic atoms or ions, which one negative muon $\mu^-$ is bound to a nucleus, has been performed. The measurements yield significantly improved values root-mean-square charge radii nuclei, owing large mass, results vastly increased wave function overlap with nucleus. proton and deuteron are 10 3 times more accurate than respective CODATA values, but 7 standard deviations smaller. Data on helium-3 -4 ions being analyzed...
Integrated pest management is an ecosystem approach to crop protection that combines different control methods reduce pesticide use and obtain safe food products with lower environmental impact. It has increased in Europe since 2014, it mandatory for farmers as a basis their strategy. Using the Portuguese context case study, evolution of integrated adoption analyzed. Country statistics survey-based data are used highlight technical differences among farmers, motivations attitudes give rise...
The Portuguese Pesticide Regulation Authority (AFN) classifies the fungicide MANCOZEB as Harmful(Xn) or Irritant (Xi), ignoring that: in UE, European Food Safety (EFSA) classify, beyond Xi, as R63 – Possible risk of harm to unborn child; and, in the USA, Environmental Protection Agence (EPA) classify as Carcinogenic (Probable human carcinogen). These reality justify that mancozeb is a optimum example, Portugal, strange and frequent diversity toxicological classification pesticides! This...
A muito deficiente informacao, da Autoridade Fitossanitaria Nacional (AFN) e das empresas de pesticidas, relativa a classificacao toxicologica dos tem sido evidenciada, desde 2005, confirmada pela analise das 306 substâncias activas (s.a.) autorizadas em 2011, em Portugal. O sistematico menor numero s.a. com perigosas classificacoes toxicologicas, referido pela AFN, em contraste com a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), ocorre, muito frequentemente, especial: 8 s.a (62%). 13 mais toxicas...
In Plant Protection, in Portugal, the last 16 years, has occurred a great deal of illegalities, being most important: CATPF not working during last 6 years; to hide the dangerous pesticides, specially the CMR, since 1995 and officially designated of high risk; to make difficult development of integrated pest management. Among others illegalities are mentioned: no reference risk phrases safety precautions, Guides AFN; insufficiencies formation pesticides users; impunity suppliers publicity,...
To perform pesticide risk communication, namely concerning new toxicological, ecotoxicological and environmental knowledge, consequence of the Directive 91/414/ CEE, it is indispensable to secure convenient divulgation, in Pesticide Guides DGPC Companies, overtaking their actual SILENCE, almost generalized about these problems. With this paper we seek give that information authorized pesticides, Portugal, apple crop, order allow selection.
