- Satisfação e aprendizagem: tutorias online no ensino superior, num cursos de marketingPublication . Santos, CarolinaO Ensino Superior enfrenta hoje em dia as consequências de uma tendência na estrutura demográfica que se reflecte na diminuição do número de alunos que acede aos cursos superiores. Captar, recrutar e fidelizar os jovens é o maior desafio que as instituições enfrentam para sobreviverem. Adoptar estratégias de marketing adequadas e inovadoras, conhecer as necessidades, as expectativas e a satisfação dos alunos é prioritário para obter vantagens competitivas e operar no mercado estudantil da forma mais eficaz. Paralelamente, a concorrência entre as instituições aumenta, sejam elas de ensino privado ou público, disponibilizando um vasto leque de opções de oferta formativa em todo o território nacional. Os professores, por seu lado, são confrontados com uma nova realidade originada pela obrigatoriedade de cumprir horas de orientação tutorial preconizada pelo processo de Bolonha, o que implica novos modelos de trabalho. A tese de doutoramento agora iniciada, incluída na área temática do Marketing nas instituições de Ensino Superior, pretende responder à questão: Qual a importância das tutorias online para a melhoria do grau de satisfação dos alunos do Ensino Superior?

- Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy and ventricular fibrillationPublication . Veiga, Mariano; Santos, Carolina; Gouveia, Marcos; Dias, CelesteIntroduction: Cardiac dysrhythmias, most often premature atrial or ventricular contractions, are occasionally reported during subclavian or internal jugular centr l venous catheter (CVC) insertion.1 Arrhythmias are usually self-limited and do not require treatment. Human and experimental research has identified cardioautonomic and respiratory dysfunction as a frequent accompaniment in human and animal model events of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).2 Electrocardiography predictors of sudden cardiac death have been described in people with chronic epilepsy, but their significance for SUDEP remains to be confirmed. Epidemiological risk factors comprise male sex, young age at epilepsy onset, symptomatic cause, longer duration of epilepsy, frequent convulsive seizures and polytherapy. No data are currently available on patients with epilepsy who need CVC placement. … etc
- Voice acoustic profi le of males exposed to occupational infrasound and low-frequency noisePublication . Mendes, Ana; Bonança, Íris; Jorge, Ana; Alves-Pereira, Mariana; Castelo-Branco, Nuno A. A.; Caetano, Marlene; Oliveira, Nádia; Graça, Andreia; Santos, Carolina; Ferraria, RenataBackground: Vibroacoustic disease (VAD) is a systematic pathology characterized by the abnormal growth of extra-cellular matrices in the absence of infl ammatory processes, namely collagen and elastin, both of which are abundant in the basement membrane zone of the vocal folds. VAD can develop due to long-term exposure to infrasound and low-frequency noise (ILFN, <500 Hz). Mendes et al. (2006, 2008 and 2012) revealed that ILFN-exposed males and females presented an increased fundamental frequency (F0), decreased jitter %, and reduced maximum phonation frequency range, when compared with normative data. Temporal measures of maximum phonation time and S/Z ratio were generally reduced. Study Aims: Herein, the same voice acoustic parameters of 48 males, 36 airline pilots and 12 cabin crewmembers (age range 25-60 years) were studied, and the effects and interaction of age and years of ILFN exposure were investigated within those parameters. ILFN-exposure time (i.e. years of professional activity) ranged from 3.5 to 36 years. Materials and Methods: Spoken and sung phonatory tasks were recorded with a DA-P1 Tascam DAT and a C420III PP AKG head-worn microphone, positioned at 3 cm from the mouth. Acoustic analyses were performed using KayPENTAX Computer Speech Lab and Multi-Dimensional Voice Program. Results: Results revealed that even though pilots and cabin crewmembers were exposed to occupational environments with distinct (ILFN-rich) acoustical frequency distributions and sound pressure levels, differences in the vocal acoustic parameters were not evident. Analyzing data from both professional groups (N = 48) revealed that F0 increased signifi cantly with the number of years of professional activity. Conclusion: These results strongly suggest that the number of years of professional activity (i.e. total ILFN exposure time) had a signifi cant effect on F0. Furthermore, they may refl ect the histological changes specifi cally observed on the vocal folds of ILFN-exposed professionals.
