ABSTRACT Background: (BP) is an increasingly prevalent behavior with detrimental outcomes for individuals. Three reasons BP have been identified: Deliberate procrastination, mindless and strategic delay. Developing instrument to assess the allows better identification of patterns behaviors tailored interventions. The present study aims develop psychometric properties (RBPS). Bedtime procrastination Reasons Procrastination Scale Method: sample included adults living in Portugal (N = 653)....
Background: Sleep plays a key role in our overall function, and sleep insufficiency has been highlighted as major health issue. ‘Bedtime procrastination’—i.e., needlessly delaying the time one goes to bed without external reasons—is reason for insufficiency. The present research aims explore interrelationships among Bedtime Procrastination, other domains of routine-related variables. Methods: mediating effects Wake-up Time Dinner on relationship between Procrastination General Academic...
Cerebral palsy (CP) can be considered the most frequent childhood physical disorder. The severity and type of dysfunction depend on brain injury. Movement posture are affected areas. CP is a lifelong condition, parenting child with this disorder brings additional challenges (e.g., dealing grief) needs information). Identifying characterizing their pivotal to enrich knowledge in field help draw more suitable support for parents. Interviews 11 parents children attending elementary school were...
Bedtime procrastination is the deliberate delay of time an individual goes to bed in absence external reasons. The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed families establish new routines and ways managing newfound roles responsibilities. This scenario likely exacerbate bedtime due to, for example, a challenge balancing professional personal life. aim present preliminary findings regarding its relation sociodemographic characteristics, sleep routines, perceived daily fatigue, dinnertime, activities...
Cybersecurity threats have been on the rise lately, along with digital revolution. In industrial area and supply chains, disruptions that already occurred require search for solutions minimize impact of those without hampering transformation, equally globally recognized as bringing enormous benefits. At heart is ability to manage information security conveniently. To this end, it essential put a safety assessment program in place using set appropriate metrics. article through an analysis...
Virtualization technology allows the coexistence and execution of multiple operating systems on top same hardware platform. In embedded domain, virtualization has been focused isolation critical requirements like real-time, security safety from non-critical characteristics. The strict confinement guest partitions typically provided by does not suit modular inter-cooperative nature systems. need for inter-partition communication addressed solutions, either to enable guest-level device...
Virtualization technology is well established in the server and desktop spaces, has been spreading across embedded system market. This allows for coexistence execution of multiples operating systems on top same hardware platform, with proven technological economic benefits. Hardware extensions easing virtualization have added into several commercial off-the-shelf processors. Among existing technologies, ARM TrustZone gaining particular attention due to its broadly availability However,...
The dissatisfaction of healthcare institutions users has increased in Portugal the recent years. This fact can be seen through increase complaints that entity responsible this country been receiving lately. More and more technical efforts done to understand analyse tendency. In paper authors are proposing an ontology about whole process management from institutions. All work was developed after analysing entire data collected by with matter Portugal. show main concepts involved relationship...
Increasing the linear modulation range
Rehabilitation aims to increase individuals' ability interact with their environment. Focusing on the paediatric context, rehabilitation is likely optimise children's development while improving and maintaining functioning. However, children neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, often show low engagement in sessions. This study aimed assess effectiveness of a narrative-based training program increasing in-session for palsy undergoing (i.e. targeting affective, behavioural,...
The CG research community has a renewed interest on rendering algorithms based path space integration, mainly due to new approaches discover, generate and exploit relevant light paths while keeping the numerical integrator unbiased or, at very least, consistent. Simultaneously, current trend towards massive parallelism heterogeneous environments, mix of conventional computing units with accelerators, is playing major role both in HPC embedded platforms. To efficiently use available resources...
