- Uma Análise da Função de Combate Apoio de Serviços na Campanha Militar no Teatro de Operações de Angola (1961-1974)Publication . Silva, Elisabete; Silva, Josias; Sousa, Emanuel; Costa, Tiago; Almeida, NunoA campanha militar no teatro de operações de Angola entre 1961 e 1974, foi marcada pelo aparecimento do conceito de guerra subversiva em Portugal, que originou uma mudança no paradigma doutrinário até aí existente, que estava essencialmente focado numa tipologia de guerra convencional. Consequentemente, o apoio de serviços e as funções logísticas em análise nomeadamente, transportes, evacuação e hospitalização e serviço de construções, também sofreram alterações ao nível da doutrina, materializadas em normas de execução permanente e relatórios logísticos do Quartel-general da Região Militar de Angola. Os meios e organização do apoio de serviços foram sendo adaptados consoante o aumento da conflitualidade, emprego das forças de manobra e as zonas do teatro onde os conflitos se desenvolveram. As operações militares, o desenrolar do conflito e as caraterísticas geográficas do teatro de operações, produziram efeitos e consequências no desenvolvimento do conceito e organização do apoio de serviços, nomeadamente nas funções logísticas transportes, hospitalização e evacuação e serviço de construções. Abstract: Between 1961 and 1974, one of the highlights of the military campaigns in Angola, was the appearing of a subversive war that led to the change of the existing doctrinal paradigm, which was primarily focused on conventional war. Also on the services support component and logistics functions, transports, evacuations and hospitalization, and in construction service, the paradigm was being updated trough standard operational procedures implementation and logistics reports from Angola regional headquarter. For this campaign, as the maneuver assets and therefore their support services were being adapted to the conflict increasing and to the areas in which the conflicts took place, as well the organization of those assents for the missions. The Military operations, the development of the conflict and the geographic of the theater of operations, caused effects and consequences on the development of the service support organization concept, particularly in the logistics functions, transports, evacuation and hospitalization and construction service.
- Caraterização da eficácia dos papéis desempenhados pelos Oficiais Subalternos e/ou Capitães de Infantaria,Estudo caso: 1º Batalhão de Infantaria Paraquedista e 1º Batalhão de Infantaria MecanizadoPublication . Costa, TiagoO presente estudo incidiu sobre a “Caraterização da eficácia dos papéis desempenhados pelos Oficiais Subalternos e/ou Capitães de Infantaria, Estudo Caso: 1º Batalhão de Infantaria Paraquedista e 1º Batalhão de Infantaria Mecanizado”. Teve como objetivo principal caraterizar e identificar as competências de comando e liderança dos Oficiais Subalternos e Capitães de Infantaria e as dimensões da eficácia dos papéis que promovem a eficácia dos papéis para o exercício de funções de comando. Para a realização do estudo foi implementado um inquérito constituído por um questionário de competências de liderança, composto por 23 competências de liderança e de três fatores critério (esforço extraordinário, eficácia e satisfação) e um questionário da eficácia dos papéis que contempla dez dimensões da eficácia dos papéis. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 101 militares do 1º Batalhão de Infantaria Paraquedista e 1º Batalhão de Infantaria Mecanizado, dividida pelas três classes (Praças, Sargentos e Oficiais). Da análise dos dados, conclui-se que os subordinados identificam que todas as competências de liderança contribuem para a eficácia do papel desempenhado pelo Oficial Subalterno e Capitão de Infantaria, com especial relevo para as competências “consideração”, “capacidade de resolver problemas”, “influência/referência”, “empatia”, “relações interpessoais”, “trabalho de equipa e coesão”, “gestão de conflitos e negociação”, “orientação para a tarefa”, “reconhecimento, feedback positivo e valorização”, “visão” e a “proatividade”. Os resultados indicam que das dez dimensões da eficácia dos papéis em estudo, os subordinados identificam as dimensões “confrontação”, “influência”, “criatividade”, “proatividade”, “entreajuda” e a "interdependência” como as que mais contribuem para a eficácia dos papéis desempenhados pelos Oficiais Subalternos e Capitães de Infantaria.
- Compras Conjuntas Inter-Ramos Vantagens e InconvenientesPublication . Costa, TiagoO objetivo deste trabalho de investigação é compreender as vantagens e inconvenientes que uma solução integrada de aquisição de munições 7,62 mm e 9 mm pode trazer para os ramos das Forças Armadas. Desta forma pretende-se através da análise de legislação, de livros da especialidade e com recurso a fontes primárias, compreender como deve ser conduzido um processo aquisitivo centralizado de equipamento militar, qual deve ser a entidade centralizadora à luz da legislação nacional e quais as vantagens e inconvenientes que esse processo pode trazer às instituições em análise, e aos mercados. Este estudo após uma análise à legislação e compreensão da metodologia utilizada pelos ramos para o desenvolvimento de um processo aquisitivo de munições 7,62 mm e 9 mm, veio identificar que a entidade que apresenta ter melhores condições para desenvolver um processo centralizado é a Direção-Geral de Recursos da Defesa Nacional. Sendo que esta solução pode trazer como principal vantagem para o Estado a obtenção de benefícios financeiros, e como principais inconvenientes a perda de soberania dos ramos, por passarem a depender de uma terceira entidade, e o possível desentendimento entre os mesmos ao nível da atribuição de prioridades e da distribuição do orçamento. Abstract: The objective of this research is to understand the advantages and disadvantages that an integrated solution of 7,62 mm and 9 mm ammunition acquisition, can bring to the Armed Forces. In this way it is intended that through the analysis of legislation, specialty books and using primary sources to understand how should a centralized military equipment buying process be conducted, who should be the coordinating entity at the light of national legislation and what are the advantages and disadvantages that this process can bring to the institutions under review and to the markets. This study after an analysis and understanding of the law and of the methodology used by the Armed Forces for the development of a purchasing process of 7,62 mm and 9 mm ammunition came to identify that the entity who presents to have better conditions for developing a centralized process, is the General Direction of National Defense Resources. Being that, this solution can bring as its main advantage to the State the financial benefits, and main disadvantages the loss of sovereignty of the Armed Forces branches, for depending on a third party, and the possible disagreement between them at the priority definition and budget distribution.
- Uma década de neonaticídios na Grande LisboaPublication . Câmara, Catarina Klut; Graça, Olindina; Costa, Tiago; Costa Santos, JorgeO neonaticídio corresponde ao homicídio de uma criança durante as primeiras 24 horas de vida. Neste trabalho procurou-se caracterizar casos de neonaticídio ocorridos na área da Grande Lisboa, através de um estudo retrospetivo de todos os processos investigados na Delegação do Sul do Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal e Ciências Forenses, I.P. (INMLCF), entre 1 de janeiro de 2001 e 31 de dezembro de 2010. Identificaram-se cinco casos de neonaticídio (2.96 por 100000 nados-vivos), atribuíveis a cinco mães com uma idade média de 25 anos, cuja principal motivação foi a gravidez indesejada. Em todos os casos, a gravidez foi ocultada, evoluiu sem cuidados médicos pré-natais e o parto ocorreu em casa, sem assistência. Não foi identificada qualquer perturbação mental que verificasse os requisitos normativos de inimputabilidade para o crime. Embora raros, os casos de neonaticídio causam particular alarme social e levantam diversas questões jurídicas e médicolegais. O facto de se encontrarem associados à ocultação da gravidez e à ausência de perturbação mental evidente das suas autoras, dificulta a adoção de medidas preventivas, destacando-se a importância de um diagnóstico precoce de gravidez em mulheres em idade fértil.
- A decade of neonaticides in the greater Lisbon areaPublication . Câmara, Catarina Klut; Graça, Olindina; Costa, Tiago; Costa Santos, JorgeNeonaticide is the homicide of a child by a parent during the first 24 hours of life. The goal of this paper is to characterize cases of neonaticide that have occurred in the Great Lisbon area. The clinical files of all neonaticide cases that were studied at the Delegação do Sul, Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal e Ciências Forenses (INMLCF, IP), between January, 1st 2001 and December 31st 2010 were reviewed and analyzed. Five cases of neonaticide were identified (2.96 per 100000 live births), perpetrated by five mothers with an average age of 25 years, whose main motivation was unwanted pregnancy. The pregnancies were concealed, no pre-natal care was obtained and delivery was unassisted and occurred at home. There were no cases of mental disorders that could justify, under a medico-legal point of view, a decision of not guilty by reason of insanity. Although rare, neonaticide cases affect societies and raise forensic questions. Due to its lower association with major psychopathology, low careseeking behavior, opportunities for prevention are reduced. Therefore, the early detection of pregnancy in women of fertile age may provide a valuable chance to offer the required support.
- Intervention Programs for First-Episode Psychosis: A Scoping Review ProtocolPublication . Gouveia, Marta; Costa, Tiago; Morgado, Tânia; Sampaio, Francisco; Rosa, Amorim; Sequeira, CarlosEarly intervention programs for first-episode psychosis aim to intervene in the early stages of the disease. They are essential to prevent and delay the progression of the illness to a more advanced stage, but information about their characteristics is not systematized. The scoping review considered all studies of first-episode psychosis intervention programs, regardless of their context (hospital or community), and explored their characteristics. The scoping review was developed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The PCC mnemonic (population, concept, and context) addressed research questions, the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the search strategy. The scoping review sought to identify the literature that meets the predefined inclusion criteria. The research was conducted in the following databases: Web of Science Core Collection, MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete and PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and JBI Evidence Synthesis. The search for unpublished studies included OpenGrey (a European repository) and MedNar. It used sources in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. It included quantitative, qualitative, and multi-method/mixed methods studies. It also considered gray or unpublished literature. After removing duplicates, two independent reviewers extracted the relevant information after selecting the articles. If there were disagreements, a third reviewer was used. The researchers have developed a tool based on the JBI model that will allow them to extract the relevant information for the review. The results are presented schematically in narratives and tables. This scoping review maps first-episode psychosis intervention programs by identifying their characteristics, participants, and specific implementation contexts and allows researchers to create multicomponent programs tailored to different contexts.
- Motivação e Satisfação dos Discentes do Instituto Universitário MilitarPublication . Costa, TiagoTendo como objeto de estudo a identificação dos fatores da Motivação e Satisfação dos discentes do Curso de Promoção a Oficial General, Curso de Estado-Maior Conjunto e Curso de Promoção a Oficial Superior, pretende-se com esta investigação, identificar as medidas a implementar para o seu aumento, tendo em consideração as especificidades de cada curso e o ramo das Forças Armadas e/ou Guarda Nacional Republicana a que pertencem os discentes. Apoiando a consecução deste objetivo, foi construído e aplicado um questionário à população alvo. Assim, constatou-se que a componente Desenvolvimento pessoal da Motivação, relacionada com a vontade e o desejo de querer aprender, constitui-se o principal fator motivador, com os discentes do Exército e do Curso de Estado-Maior Conjunto a apresentarem os maiores índices motivacionais. Relativamente à Satisfação, constatou-se que as principais (importantes) causas de satisfação são a Qualidade dos docentes e os Conteúdos programáticos/metodologia, ainda que não constituindo as causas com as quais os discentes demonstram maior satisfação. O Curso de Promoção a Oficial Superior, com foco nos ramos da Força Aérea e Marinha, representa os discentes menos satisfeitos. Decorrente dos resultados conclui-se então, da necessidade de implementar medidas diretamente relacionadas com o processo de aprendizagem para aumento da Motivação e Satisfação dos discentes do Instituto Universitário Militar. Igualmente, verificou-se a influência nessas variáveis, da diferente valorização dos cursos em estudo por parte dos Ramos.

- Positive Mental Health in University Students and Its Relations with Psychological Vulnerability, Mental Health Literacy, and Sociodemographic Characteristics: A Descriptive Correlational StudyPublication . Teixeira, Sónia; Ferré-Grau, Carme; Canut, Teresa Lluch; Pires, Regina; Carvalho, José Carlos; Carvalho Ribeiro, Isilda Maria Oliveira; Sequeira, Carolina; Ferreira, Teresa de Jesus Rodrigues; Sampaio, Francisco; Costa, Tiago; Sequeira, CarlosAbstract: This study aimed to evaluate positive mental health (PMH) and its relation with sociodemographic characteristics, mental health literacy, and the psychological vulnerability scale (PVS) in Portuguese university students aged 17 to 62. A descriptive correlational study was carried out. An online survey was conducted to evaluate demographic variables, and several questionnaires were applied to evaluate positive mental health, psychological vulnerability, and mental health literacy. The data was collected from 1 November 2019 to 1 September 2020. Overall, 3405 students participated in the study. The results show that 67.8% of students revealed a high level of PMH, 31.6% presented a medium level of PMH, and 0.6% had a low level of PMH. Male students reported higher personal satisfaction (t (3170) = 2.39, p = 0.017) and autonomy (t (3170) = 3.33, p = 0.001) in PMH compared to female students. Students without a scholarship scored higher (t (3127) = 2.04, p = 0.42) in PMH than students who held a scholarship. Students who were not displaced from their home reported higher (t (3170) = 1.99, p = 0.047) self-control in PMH than those displaced from their home. University students with higher PMH results had lower PVS results and higher literacy results. The findings of this study will contribute to identifying students’ PMH intervention needs.
