Nas últimas décadas os governos de Portugal têm desenvolvidos políticas conducentes a permitir a educação de alunos com dificuldades e deficiencias nas escolas regulares. Estas políticas conduziram a acções no ámbito da formação de profesores, na provisão de diferentes tipos de recursos e novas formas de organização da escola e do apoio educativo. Como resultado destas políticas, Portugal tem actualmente pouco mais de 2% de alunos com deficiencia em escolas especiais estando os restantes alunos em escolas regulares. Em Janeiro de 2008 foi publicada uma nova lei de Educação especial. Este artigo tem por objectivo apresentar as linhas principais desta nova legislaçVo juntamente como alguns dados estatísticos. No final do artigo faz-se uma análise crítica das medidas legislativas em vigoe nomeadamente as "escolas de referencia", as "unidades especializadas", o sistema de financiamiento e a utilização da CIF-CJ (OMS, 2007)

AbstractPositive close relationships with immediate close network members are associated with healthy adjustment among emerging adults (EA). These influence the initiation and maintenance of romantic relationships. A cross‐sectional study (N = 630) explored the role of perceived parental and friend support for the current romantic relationship in relationship quality among early EA (EEA; 18–21 years) and middle EA (MEA; 22–25 years) heterosexuals. Structural equation modeling results showed that in EEA, greater friend support was associated with greater commitment, satisfaction, and investments, and less quality of alternatives. Greater parental support was associated with greater commitment, satisfaction, and investments in MEA. This research advances literature by showing different associations between sources of social support and relationship quality in two EA age groups.

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Understanding the psychological correlates of attitudes toward pet relinquishment and actual pet relinquishment is essential to inform interventions, and assess their impact. In this study, we developed new scales to measure attitudes toward pet relinquishment, motives for pet relinquishment, and general trust in pets. With these scales, we showed that attitudes of lack of obligation toward pet relinquishment were more likely in older people, those who perceived their pet as a burden, and those with lower general trust in pets. In addition, we found that attitudes of pragmatism toward pet relinquishment were more likely in men, those who were the main pet caretaker, those who perceived their pet as a burden, those with higher motives for pet relinquishment, and those with lower general trust in pets. Moreover, we found that past pet relinquishment behavior was more likely among people with attitudes of pragmatism toward pet relinquishment. Broadly, these findings advance our knowledge of pet relinquishment, and are likely to inform intervention campaigns to prevent it. ABSTRACT: Understanding pet relinquishment is essential to inform interventions and assess their impact. In a cross-sectional study, we explored how attitudes of lack of obligation and pragmatism toward pet relinquishment correlated with, and differed according to, sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, education, political orientation, religion, income, and household), previous animal experience, and owner perceptions of animals (perceiving pet as a burden, motives for pet relinquishment, regret having a pet, and general trust in pets). We adapted and developed three scales to measure attitudes toward pet relinquishment (ATPR), motives for pet relinquishment (MPR), and general trust in pets (GTP), revealing good psychometric qualities. Hierarchical linear regressions showed that attitudes of lack of obligation toward pet relinquishment were stronger in older people, those perceiving their pet as a burden, and those with ...

Hierarchical linear regressions showed that attitudes of lack of obligation toward pet relinquishment were stronger in older people, those perceiving their pet as a burden, and those with lower general trust in pets. Attitudes of pragmatism toward pet relinquishment were stronger in men, those who were main pet caretakers,those perceiving their pet as a burden, those with higher motives for pet relinquishment, and those with lower general trust in pets. Furthermore, results showed that past pet relinquishment behavior was predicted by attitudes of pragmatism, but not attitudes of lack of obligation.

AbstractPeople differ in their predispositions to value safety maintenance (i.e., disease prevention regulatory focus) or pleasure pursuit (i.e., pleasure promotion regulatory focus). Extending recent research, results of a cross-sectional study with participants living in Portugal and Spain (N = 770) showed that these individual differences resulted in a trade-off between potential health risks and pleasure rewards in sexual practices and experiences with casual partners. Specifically, people who were more focused on promotion (vs. prevention) reported riskier and more unrestricted sexual activities (more frequent condomless sex activities; more casual partners) and experienced more positive sexual outcomes (more sexual satisfaction; more positive and less negative affect related to condomless sex). This pattern of results remained the same after controlling for country differences, suggesting the robustness of our findings across different cultural contexts. Our study shows the complexity of sexual decisions and align with our reasoning that prevention-focused people tend to prioritize health safety, whereas promotion-focused people tend to prioritize sexual pleasure. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.

Sweet potatoes are one of the most consumed vegetables in Brazil and in the world, as they are cheap, easy to buy and healthy food. The objective of this work was to prepare sweet potato flour, bread with the addition of sweet potato flour and evaluate its effect. Four bread formulations were prepared: P0% (standard) and the others added potato flour of 8% (P8%), 16% (P16%) and 24% (P24%). The microbiological, physical-chemical, sensory parameters and the color of flour and bread were evaluated. A statistical analysis was performed with the averages by the Tukey test at 5%. The result of the microbiological analysis was in accordance with the legislation. In potato flour, components such as carbohydrates and proteins stood out. Bread samples showed a significant difference (<0, 05) in relation to the physical-chemical parameters with the exception of moisture and crude fibers. All formulations showed good acceptance in all attributes, presenting scores higher than 6 and a good purchase intention with more than 50% of the products with the exception of the P24% sample. ; La batata son una de las hortalizas más consumidas en Brasil y en el mundo, ya que son baratas, fáciles de comprar y alimentos saludables. El objetivo de este trabajo fue preparar harina de camote, pan con el agregado de harina de camote y evaluar su efecto. Se prepararon cuatro formulaciones de pan: P0% (estándar) y las demás agregaron harina de papa al 8% (P8%), 16% (P16%) y 24% (P24%). Se evaluaron los parámetros microbiológicos, físico-químicos, sensoriales y el color de la harina y el pan. Se realizó un análisis estadístico con los promedios por la prueba de Tukey al 5%. El resultado del análisis microbiológico fue conforme a la legislación. En la harina de patata destacaron componentes como carbohidratos y proteínas. Las muestras de pan mostraron una diferencia significativa (<0,05) en relación a los parámetros físico-químicos con excepción de la humedad y las fibras crudas. Todas las formulaciones mostraron buena aceptación en todos los atributos, presentando puntajes superiores a 6 y una buena intención de compra con más del 50% de los productos con excepción de la muestra P24%. ; A batata-doce é uma das hortaliças mais consumidas no Brasil e no mundo, por ser um alimento barato, de fácil aquisição e saudável. Objetivou-se neste trabalho elaborar a farinha de batata-doce, pães com adição da farinha de batata-doce e avaliar seu efeito. Foram elaboradas quatro formulações de pães: P0% (padrão) e as demais adicionadas farinha de batata de 8% (P8%), 16% (P16%) e 24% (P24%). Avaliou-se os parâmetros microbiológicos, físico-químicos, sensoriais e a cor, da farinha e dos pães. Foi realizada uma análise estatística com as médias pelo teste de Tukey a 5%. O resultado da analise microbiológica foi de acordo com a legislação. Em farinha de batata se destacou os componentes como carboidratos e proteínas. As amostras de pães apresentaram diferença significativa (<0,05) em relação aos parâmetros físico-químicos com exceção da umidade e fibras brutas. Todas as formulações apresentaram boa aceitação em todos os atributos apresentando notas maiores que 6 e uma boa intenção de compra com mais de 50% dos produtos com exceção da amostra P24%.
