Reducing global emissions will require a cosmopolitan culture built from detailed attention to conflicting national climate change frames (interpretations) in media discourse. The authors analyze the field of discourse using 17 diverse cases and 131 frames. They find four main dimensions difference: validity science, scale ecological risk, politics, support for mitigation policy. These yield clusters producing fractured field. Positive values on show modest association with reductions....
A major challenge for humankind is to reduce global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions avoid the most harmful impacts of climate change. The transport sector responsible almost 1/4 world’s energy-related emissions, with road transportation representing around 1/5 fuel consumption. Electric vehicles (EVs) may help CO2 but their diffusion uncertain due market barriers. This paper investigates electric vehicle (EV), which has a smaller ecological footprint, as an alternative capable meeting needs...
Energy consumption inconspicuously bridges nature and culture. Modern societies cultures depend on intensive energy use from the extraction of natural resources. In fact, industrialization process required large amounts energy, but main sources such as oil coal, have been gradually depleted found to be heavily polluting environment. Despite their environmental impacts, these resources provided cheap abundant power fuel technological progress economic growth. (See Agustoni Maretti [2012] for...
This article attempts to explain the swift development of renewable energy, in particular wind Portugal, by assessing socio-political, community and market acceptance renewables. We examine, on one hand, institutional policy framework, approaches planning, ownership facilities, and, other attitudes Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations citizens towards energy general local windfarms particular. Results show that a highly attractive feed-in tariff system planning decisions at national...
Researching media coverage of climate change may shed light on the different configurations global and domestic factors affecting journalism politics. This article analyzes in Portugal from 2007 to 2014 comparison with 14 other countries. It shows that Portuguese press tends reproduce political agenda change, mainly focusing international events associated decision-making processes, instead providing a domesticated coverage, as observed National local levels action are thus obscured. The...
This article examines the multidimensional problem of energy poverty, focusing on its connections to climate change and manifestation at rural urban scales across selected European countries Israel. The study examined 31 locations in eight with diverse geographical economic backgrounds: Bosnia Herzegovina, Greece, North Macedonia, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia, aims understand how winter vulnerability these could be identified using poverty indicators it evolves under influence...

Change in the way we live plan coast: stakeholders discussions on future scenarios adaptation strategiesA scenario of increased risks due to climate change coastal erosion, coupled with a stringent economic recession, is threatening Portuguese coast.

This paper presents results of a comparison media coverage fusion and fission energy technologies in three countries (Germany, Spain Portugal) the English language international print addressing transnational elite, from 2008 to 2012. The analysis showed that accident Fukushima March 2010 did not have significant impact on framing nuclear major part under investigation. In fact, is clearly dissociated traditional (fission) accidents. It tends be portrayed as safe, clean unlimited source...
In a time of economic crisis the need to adopt energy conservation practices comes fore. It is helpful evaluate role young people as both consumers and potential agents change bridging gap between school family encourage lower household consumption. Based on two surveys parents students secondary in Lisbon, plus in-depth interviews with parents, this article analyzes complexity challenge, highlighting adults' perceptions their children's contribution saving. Results show that see major...
Purpose – Concerns on children's obesity and overweight have been related to food diets with excessive sugar fat. Given the relevance of school meals in Portuguese lives, schools follow governmental guidelines order provide nutritiously balanced healthy meals. As imbalances persist, this study aims at understanding acceptance by children, context competing marketing allures poor foods outside schools. Design/methodology/approach Plural qualitative research techniques (focus groups children...
Abstract The eukaryotic genome is partitioned into topologically associated domains (TADs) that assemble compartments of shared chromatin valance. This architecture influenced by the physical constraints imposed DNA polymer, which restricts interactions predominantly to genomic segments from same chromosome. Here, we report a dramatic divergence this pattern nuclear organization occurs during differentiation and specification mouse olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). In situ HiC on FAC-sorted...
Climate policies in the European Union require a substantial reduction carbon emissions from road transport. However, last decades system of automobility has expanded considerably, establishing process path dependence that is very difficult to reverse. Changes current patterns may increase oil vulnerability citizens dependent on use car, aggravating forms social inequity. Based an analysis how television news framed period price rises country highly car use, article shows resonate with...
Drawing on a post-Foucauldian conceptual framework we look at the rationalities that inform organization of Portuguese school meals and implementation these to transform normalize children eating habits. The empirical material is drawn from thematic documental analysis regulatory 1970s up until nowadays. objectives are threefold: 1) describe continuities discontinuities official discourses institutional practices; 2) ways children, health food placed interpreted in those documents; 3)...
O desastre nuclear de Fukushima veio relembrar desastres nucleares anteriores tais como os Three Miles Island e Chernobyl, trazendo volta à esfera pública o debate em torno dos problemas segurança das centrais nucleares. No entanto, enquanto risco associado energia tradicional (fissão) foi amplificado pela mídia, uma nova tecnologia investigação não afetada. Uma comparação entre a cobertura midiática tecnologias fusão fissão três países (Alemanha, Espanha Portugal), bem na imprensa...
Given mounting concerns about overweight and obesity levels in Portugal among children, policy strategies regarding health education through school meals have been implemented to respond this problem.

It also examines how policies, which changed contents meals, are being received by staff parents a primary Lisbon. The empirical material...
Nos últimos anos tem‑se assistido em Portugal ao crescimento exponencial do número de parques eólicos, respondendo às pressões políticas e económicas para atingir metas ambiciosas no que concerne à produção energia através fontes renováveis. A nível geral, este desenvolvimento pautado por discursos consensuais – mitigação das alterações climáticas, diminuição da dependência energética face exterior –, mas local situado os conflitos tornam‑se visíveis (destruição visual paisagem, impactes...
