- Are the physical activity habits of healthcare professionals associated with their physical activity promotion and counselling?: A systematic reviewPublication . Borges, Margarida D.; Ribeiro, Tiago; Peralta, Miguel; Gouveia, Bruna; Marques, AdilsonObjective: Healthcare professionals (HCPs) play an important role in conducting brief physical activity counselling during consultations, representing one of the population's most cost-effective interventions for its promotion. Despite this, their clinical practice often falls short in addressing physical activity with the necessary depth and frequency. This study aimed to synthesise the literature concerning the association between the physical activity habits of HCPs and their attitudes toward physical activity promotion and counselling. Methods: The systematic review followed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses) guidelines. Its protocol was registered in PROSPERO under ID: CRD42023408302. In March 2023, a comprehensive search was conducted using key terms related to physical activity levels and HCPs counselling practices across the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, APA PsycInfo, and CINAHL databases. Registered HCPs classified under the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used for assessing articles quality. Results: The search yielded 6618 articles, with 51 meeting the inclusion criteria after filtering and crossreferencing. Predominantly cross-sectional studies were included, mainly involving HCPs responding to questionnaires regarding their physical activity habits and promotion and counselling practices. Heterogeneous results were found. Conclusion: High-quality studies mainly concluded that higher physical activity levels among HCPs were associated with more physical activity promotion and counselling practices. These findings are an important contribution to the relevance of the physical activity practice by HCPs and highlighting the importance of promoting its counselling in clinical practice.
- Sistemas Terrestres Não Tripulados: Contributos para a sua edificação no Exército PortuguêsPublication . Marques, Sérgio; Xavier, João; Rodrigues, Hugo; Ribeiro, TiagoA presente investigação pretende propor contributos que possam auxiliar na edificação de Sistemas Terrestres Não Tripulados no Exército Português. O objeto de estudo são os Sistemas Terrestres Não Tripulados. Para isso, recorreu-se a uma metodologia de raciocínio indutivo, assente numa estratégia de investigação qualitativa, com um desenho de pesquisa assente em dois estudos de caso, Alemanha e Espanha. Através da análise documental, estudos de caso e entrevistas, identificou-se a tipologia de missões e características necessárias para a edificação de Sistemas Terrestres Não Tripulados no Exército Português. À luz dos Vetores de Desenvolvimento doutrina e material, concluiu-se que o Exército Português deve: Rever a doutrina de emprego e as missões das unidades, ajustando as Normas de Execução Permanente das forças e alguns procedimentos para integrar e tirar todo o proveito dos Sistemas Terrestres Não Tripulados; Dar prioridade à aquisição de um sistema portátil, de controlo remoto, com capacidade de recolha e transmissão de imagem em tempo real, com recurso a câmara de visão noturna, térmica e de infravermelhos, seguindo a linha orientadora do Exército espanhol e alemão. Abstract: This research intent is to suggest contributions that can support the building of Unmanned Ground Vehicles capacity in the Portuguese Army. The object of study is the Unmanned Ground Vehicles. A inductive reasoning methodology was privileged, based on a qualitative research strategy, with a research design based on two case studies, Germany and Spain. Through documentary analysis, case studies and interviews, it was identified the type of missions and necessary characteristics for the building of Unmanned Ground Vehicles capacity in the Portuguese Army. Taking into consideration the development vectors of doctrine and material development, the Portuguese Army should: Review the employment doctrine and the units’ missions, adjusting the Standard Operations Procedures of Forces and some procedures to integrate and take full advantage of the Unmanned Ground Vehicles; Prioritize the acquisition of a portable, remotely controlled system with real time image collection and transmission capability, using infrared, thermal and night vision cameras, following the guidelines of the Spanish and German armies.
