- Afetividade no processo ensino-aprendizagem:Publication . Costa, Joana; Silva, MarleneO presente relatório, realizou-se em contexto do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, destina-se à obtenção do grau de mestre e teve como objetivo estudar as perceções dos docentes acerca da afetividade e do seu contributo para o processo ensino-aprendizagem. Este tema tem sido alvo de crescente reflexão e estudo uma vez que está na base das relações humanas, atualmente tão comprometidas. No campo educacional, a afetividade é um fator determinante na relação educativa/pedagógica, permitindo que esta seja motivadora, desafiadora e baseada na confiança, potencie um clima de aprendizagem benéfico e capaz de promover aprendizagens significativas. O educador/professor e a criança/aluno são parceiros de aprendizagem. O presente Relatório Final é um estudo interpretativo com uma abordagem mista (quantitativa e qualitativa), por isso, de forma a dar resposta ao problema em estudo, forma realizadas entrevistas aos docentes (educadores e professores do 1º ciclo do ensino básico) e foram realizados questionários aos docentes destas valências. Os resultados do presente estudo evidenciam uma preocupação crescente sobre a afetividade como fator imprescindível na relação educativa/pedagógica e consequentemente como contributo para o desenvolvimento de aprendizagens significativas.
- The communication satisfaction of geriatric patients treated by dental students and dentists in a university dental clinic : a cross-sectional studyPublication . Semedo, Carla; Costa, Joana; Castro, Elisa Kern deBackground/Objectives: With aging linked to increased oral health conditions, the communication skills of dental professionals are vital to ensure patient satisfaction and improve the quality of geriatric dental care. This cross-sectional study evaluated geriatric patients’ satisfaction with communication at a university dental clinic, comparing interactions with dentists and fifth-year dental students. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was administered to 111 patients, assessing sociodemographic data, general health, and satisfaction across six communication dimensions: verbal and nonverbal communication, empathy, respect, problem-solving, and support materials. The data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney U tests (α = 0.05). Results: The geriatric patients exhibited higher levels of satisfaction when interacting with dentists compared to students, particularly in the domains of nonverbal communication (p = 0.007), empathy (p = 0.035), and respect (p = 0.017). However, no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed in terms of verbal communication, problem-solving, and support materials. Conclusions: The geriatric patients demonstrated greater satisfaction with interactions with practicing dentists. These findings indicate that an attending dentist’s clinical experience enhances interpersonal interactions with geriatric patients. Therefore, developing the interpersonal skills of future dentistry professionals, as well as adapting communication to the needs of the elderly, is essential to provide more satisfactory experiences in geriatric dental care.
- Como o design de interiores influencia a nossa forma de estar num espaço público nocturnoPublication . Costa, Joana; Cardoso, AnaO presente relatório de estágio reflete uma primeira experiência no mercado de trabalho, proporcionada pela empresa Fora de Pessa ldª. Este atelier criativo intervém na áreas das Artes, da Decoração, do Design de Interiores e até da Cenografia, passando igualmente por outras áreas de proximidade. Dos projetos realizadas durante o decorrer do estágio, seleccionamos explorar o tema "como o Design de Interiores influencia a nossa forma de estar num espaço público noturno", que serve como ponto de partida para explorar a importância do Designer de Interiores enquanto disciplina. Assim como analisar e inquirir quais as ferramentas disponíveis na conceção e reabilitação de espaços, sejam eles públicos ou privados. Neste caso em específico, o projeto parte da reabilitação de um Bar situado nas Galerias de Paris, na cidade do Porto. Ao longo do desenvolvimento da presente investigação, entendeu-se privilegiar não só respostas concretas que pudessem generalizar a experiência do utilizador, mas utilizar o potencial do Designer de Interiores como um "contador de histórias". Foi distinguido o estudo das várias sensações proporcionadas ao corpo - texturas, materiais, luz, música, entre outras -, que podemos sentir e experienciar dentro de um Bar. Estudando o impacto que tais opções podem despertar nos clientes e que com toda a certeza vão diferir de individuo para individuo.

- Health professionals’ perceptions, barriers and knowledge towards oral health care of dependent people in nursing homes : a systematic reviewPublication . Pombo-Lopes, Joana; Rodrigues, Inês; Costa, Joana; Gomes, Ana Catarina; Fonseca, Jorge; Grillo-Evangelista, JoséIntroduction: This review aimed to evaluate the perceived barriers, knowledge, and training, of different health care professionals in relation to the oral health of dependent people in nursing homes and access, as well, how this data was evaluated. Methods: Three electronic databases—PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and LILACS—were searched independently by two researchers for relevant studies published up to December 2023. Articles were selected according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a total of 35 studies were included. Results: Findings from the Nursing Dental Coping Belief Scale studies revealed disparities between training and daily oral health care, with experienced nurses experiencing challenges. Barriers described were categorized and included resident-related issues, organizational challenges, and caregiver-related difficulties. Most caregivers reported inadequate training, often informal or experiential, although they are involved in the hygiene of the older adult, with tooth brushing and denture cleaning being the most common practices. Low oral health literacy coexisted with recognition of the importance of oral health care. Conclusion: The findings advocate for targeted interventions, standardized training, and improved support systems to improve oral health care for the older adult in diverse health care settings.

- High-Tech Defense Industries: Developing Autonomous Intelligent SystemsPublication . Reis, João Carlos Gonçalves dos; Cohen, Yuval; Melão, Nuno; Costa, Joana; Jorge, DianaAfter the Cold War, the defense industries found themselves at a crossroads. However, it seems that they are gaining new momentum, as new technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence are enabling the development of autonomous, highly innovative and disruptive intelligent systems. Despite this new impetus, there are still doubts about where to invest limited financial resources to boost high-tech defense industries. In order to shed some light on the topic, we decided to conduct a systematic literature review by using the PRISMA protocol and content analysis. The results indicate that autonomous intelligent systems are being developed by the defense industry and categorized into three different modes—fully autonomous operations, partially autonomous operations, and smart autonomous decision-making. In addition, it is also important to note that, at a strategic level of war, there is limited room for automation given the need for human intervention. However, at the tactical level of war, there is a high probability of growth in industrial defense, since, at this level, structured decisions and complex analytical-cognitive tasks are carried out. In the light of carrying out those decisions and tasks, robotics and artificial intelligence can make a contribution far superior to that of human beings.
- Improving bonding protocols : the effect of selective dentin etching with two different universal adhesives : an in vitro studyPublication . Ferreira, Sandro; Rodrigues, Tiago; Nunes, Mariana; Azul, Ana Mano; Mendes, José João; Chasqueira, Ana Filipa; Costa, JoanaUniversal adhesives can be applied in versatile bonding strategies, with selective dentin etching (SDE) emerging as a promising approach for enhancing dentin–adhesive interfaces. This study evaluated the immediate adhesive interface to dentin of two universal adhesives (OptibondTM Universal and Futurabond M+) with an SDE strategy. Sixty human molars were randomly assigned to six experimental groups (n = 10): control (self-etch strategy), SDE, and SDE3 (SDE with three adhesive layers). After dentin exposure and smear layer simulation, adhesives were applied, followed by composite resin restoration. Microtensile bond strength in 1 mm2 beams was performed in a universal testing machine (1 kN; 0.5 mm/min) after 24 h water storage. Failure modes were classified, and the adhesive interfaces were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy. SDE was higher for both adhesives compared to the control group, but was this change statistically significant in Futurabond M+ only (Mann–Whitney, p < 0.001). On the other hand, in OptibondTM Universal, only SDE3 significantly increased bond strength (Mann–Whitney, p < 0.001). Adhesive failures predominated across all groups. Microscopy images revealed longer and more numerous resin tags in SDE and SDE3 specimens. The SDE strategy enhanced immediate bond strength of these universal adhesives, with product-specific variations, suggesting that application strategies should be tailored to each universal adhesive’s unique formulation to optimize dentin bonding effectiveness.
