    Abstract É comum afirmar-se que o capital humano tem um papel preponderante no dia-a-dia das organizações, influenciando em grande medida o seu sucesso. Embora as organizações desportivas sejam instrumentais na forma como atingem os seus objetivos, uma das primeiras preocupações de quem assume a sua liderança deve ser a clarificação da orgânica dos recursos, definindo claramente as responsabilidades e os limites de atuação dos departamentos e das pessoas que os compõem. É, no essencial, uma ferramenta de comunicação que clarifica e, em certo modo, materializa a gestão estratégica presente.

    Abstract Money is critical for a regenerative future. Transforming it is an unavoidable social, political, and economic endeavor that must be a global priority if we are to prevent future financial crises, reduce economic inequality and adhere to our climate agreements and sustainability goals. For this transition to occur, we urgently need new economic and monetary paradigms that address the root causes of our current unsustainability, offer a new monetary ontology and design, and, more importantly, steer our monetary regime towards the regeneration of our social, economic and ecological landscapes. We need an ecological understanding of money grounded in Ecological Economics and an Ecological Value Theory that lays down the foundations for the conscious democratization, decentralization, and diversification of money. In this work, we revisit and update the missing link between money and sustainability by proposing new ontological avenues and reviewing the design elements and degenerative processes built into the existing system. We also contribute to the development and emergence of an Ecological Monetary Economics by systematizing the ongoing monetary transition toward sustainability and by offering a set of principles drawn from the regenerative economics literature for the conscious design of monetary ecosystems that contribute positively to solving our societal challenges of the 21st century.

    Abstract A adesão dos indivíduos ao regime terapêutico sempre foi um tema controverso e um motivo de interesse para inúmeros investigadores. O conceito de adesão à terapêutica tem variado ao longo do tempo, um pouco ao sabor das diferentes perspetivas dos autores, mas relacionado especificamente com a terapêutica farmacológica, é entendido como a utilização dos medicamentos prescritos, respeitando escrupulosamente os horários, a dose e o tempo de tratamento. De uma forma mais geral, a adesão à terapêutica é entendida como o grau em que o comportamento de uma pessoa, relacionado não só com a administração de medicamentos, mas também pelo seguimento de uma dieta ou pelas mudanças no estilo de vida, corresponde às recomendações do médico ou de outro profissional de saúde. Relativamente aos conceitos de adesão à terapêutica tem-se verificado uma evolução no modelo de desenvolvimento baseado nos três conceitos: concordância (compliance), adesão (adherence) e manutenção (maintenance). O termo compliance pode ser entendido como uma situação de obediência, em que o doente tem um papel passivo. Por sua vez, o termo adherence traduz uma escolha esclarecida do doente em adotar ou não a recomendação fornecida; neste caso, estamos perante um doente com um papel ativo, que participa e assume a responsabilidade sobre o seu tratamento. Relativamente à maintenance, considera-se que o doente mantém um comportamento de melhoria da saúde, tornando-se num hábito de vida. Na sequência desta evolução temos hoje uma nova taxonomia para o comportamento de adesão aos tratamentos, ou seja, para o processo de gestão da adesão à medicação.

    Abstract Recently, increased attention is being paid to the importance of environmental history in species’ responses to climate-change related stressors, as more variable and heterogeneous environments are expected to select for higher levels of plasticity in species tolerance traits, compared to stable conditions. For example, organisms inhabiting environments with highly fluctuating thermal regimes might be less susceptible to the increasing frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs). In this study, we assessed the metabolic and calcification responses of the rhodolith-bed forming Phymatolithon lusitanicum, from a coastal region that is strongly influenced by frequent changes between upwelling and downwelling conditions, to a simulated MHW scenario, with and without prior exposure to a moderate thermal stress. This allowed determining not only the influence of the species’ long-term thermal history on its resilience against MHWs, but also the rhodoliths capacity for short-term thermal stress memory and its importance during posterior MHW-exposure. Our findings indicate that the rhodoliths experienced negative impacts on daily net primary production (DNP) and calcification (DNC) during the MHW. The effect on the former was only temporary at the beginning of the MHW, while DNC was highly impacted, but exhibited a quick recovery after the event, suggesting a high resilience of the species. Furthermore, prior exposure to a moderate temperature increase, such as those occurring frequently in the natural habitat of the species, mitigated the effects of a subsequent MHW on DNP, while promoting a faster recovery of DNC after the event. Thus, our findings (1) support the hypothesis that benthic organisms living in nearshore habitats may benefit from the natural short-term temperature fluctuations in these environments with an increased resistance to MHW impacts and (2) provide first-time evidence for thermally induced stress memory in coralline algae.

    Abstract In a sociological perspective, this article evaluates the motivations and the formative repercussions of the frequency of training in organic farming from an extensive approach based on a survey online. The results reveal a change to healthy eating behaviours, notably marked by the consumption of organic foods. While at the same time, due to increased physical activity, revealing positive health effects, and well-being as well as reduced stress and tiredness. There seems to be a tendency for quality of life improvement, while at the greater environmental awareness. However, attending the course was not an opportunity to change their professional activity.

  7. Article ; Online: Temperature amplifies the effect of high CO2 on the photosynthesis, respiration, and calcification of the coralline algae Phymatolithon lusitanicum

    Abstract Abstract The combination of ocean acidification (OA) and global warming is expected to have a significant effect on the diversity and functioning of marine ecosystems, particularly on calcifying algae such as rhodoliths (maërl) that form extensive beds worldwide, from polar to tropical regions. In addition, the increasing frequency of extreme events, such as heat waves, threatens coastal ecosystems and may affect their capacity to fix blue carbon. The few studies where the simultaneous effects of both temperature and CO2 were investigated have revealed contradictory results. To assess the effect that high temperature spells can have on the maërl beds under OA, we tested the short‐time effects of temperature and CO2 on the net photosynthesis, respiration, and calcification of the recently described species Phymatolithon lusitanicum, the most common maërl species of southern Portugal. Photosynthesis, calcification, and respiration increased with temperature, and the differences among treatments were enhanced under high CO2. We found that in the short term, the metabolic rates of Phymatolithon lusitanicum will increase with CO2 and temperature as will the coupling between calcification and photosynthesis. However, under high CO2, this coupling will favor photosynthesis over calcification, which, in the long term, can have a negative effect on the blue carbon fixing capacity of the maërl beds from southern Portugal.

    Abstract Rhodolith (maërl) beds are biodiversity hotspots with a worldwide distribution. Maërl is the general term for free-living non-geniculate rhodoliths or coralline red algae. In southern Portugal, maërl beds are mainly composed of Phymatolithon lusitanicum, recently identified as a new species and commonly misidentified as Phymatolithon calcareum. Photosynthesis, respiration, and growth rates of the algae were measured seasonally, as well as the photosynthetic pigment composition. To characterize the seasonal and interannual patterns of key abiotic conditions in the largest described maërl bed of the Portuguese coast, temperature, irradiance, and dissolved oxygen were continuously monitored over a 2-year period. At the bed depth (22 m), temperature ranged between 14°C in winter and 24°C in summer, irradiance varied from 5 to 75 μmol m–2 s–1, and dissolved oxygen from 5.8 to 7.25 mg O2 L–1. We found a strong linear relationship (r2 = 0.95) between gross primary production (GPP) and relative electron transport rates (rETRs). Both methods led to similar results and an average molar ratio of 0.24. Photosynthesis and respiration increased in summer and decreased in autumn and winter. In the summer of 2013, the growth rates were twofold higher (1.34 μmol CaCO3 g–1 day–1) than in the other seasons. In winter and spring, to compensate for light deprivation and low temperature, algae increased their chlorophyll a and carotenoid concentrations while also decreasing their phycobilin concentration, in this case probably due to nutrient limitation. To isolate the role of temperature on the algae’s metabolism, the photosynthetic and respiration rates of individual thalli were measured at eight different temperatures in the laboratory (from 12°C to 26°C). Phymatolithon lusitanicum photosynthesis increased twofold after a threshold of 18°C (from 2.2 at 18°C to 3.87 μmol O2 m–2 s–1 at 20°C), whereas respiration increased fourfold with temperature after a threshold of 22°C (from −0.38 at 18°C to −1.81 μmol O2 m–2 s–1 at 24°C).

    Abstract Research about biosphere reserves’ management effectiveness can contribute to better understanding of the existing gap between the biosphere reserve concept and its implementation. However, there is a limited understanding about where and how research about biosphere reserves’ management effectiveness has been conducted, what topics are investigated, and which are the main findings. This study addresses these gaps in the field, building on a systematic literature review of scientific papers. To this end, we investigated characteristics of publications, scope, status and location of biosphere reserves, research methods and management effectiveness. The results indicate that research is conceptually and methodologically diverse, but unevenly distributed. Three groups of papers associated with different goals of biosphere reserves were identified: capacity building, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. In general, each group is associated with different methodological approaches and different regions of the world. The results indicate the importance of scale dynamics and trade-offs between goals, which are advanced as important leverage points for the success of biosphere reserves. Building on the gaps identified in the literature, a research agenda is proposed, focusing on the need to investigate mechanisms for holistic research, outcomes and trade-offs, transformations for social-ecological fit and institutions for integrated management across scales.
