- Prevalence and extent of chronic periodontitis and its risk factors in a Portuguese subpopulation: a retrospective cross-sectional study and analysis of clinical attachment lossPublication . Machado, Vanessa; Botelho, João; Amaral, António; Proença, Luís; Alves, Ricardo; Rua, João; Cavacas, Maria Alzira; Delgado, Ana Sintra; Mendes, José JoãoOBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence and extent of chronic periodontitis, and its risk factors in a Portuguese subpopulation referred to periodontal examination. METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study used a subset of data from patients who sought dental treatment in a university dental clinic in the Lisbon metropolitan area. The sample consisted of 405 individuals (225 females/180 males), aged 20-90 years. All patients underwent a full-mouth periodontal examination and chronic periodontitis was defined as Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) ≥ 3 mm affecting two or more teeth. Aggressive periodontitis cases were excluded from the analysis. RESULTS: Prevalence of chronic periodontitis was 83.5% (95% CI [80.4-86.6%]). For these subjects, CAL ≥ 3 mm affected 86.0% (95% CI [84.7-87.2]) of sites and 83.7% (95% CI [81.7-85.6]) of teeth, respectively. Mean CAL ranged from 3.6 to 4.3 mm, according to age. In the multivariate logistic regression model, smoking (OR = 3.55, 95% CI [1.80-7.02]) and older age (OR = 8.70, 95% CI [3.66-20.69] and OR = 4.85, 95% CI [2.57-9.16]), for 65+ and 45-64 years old, respectively, were identified as risk indicators for CAL ≥ 3 mm. CONCLUSIONS: This particular Portuguese adult subpopulation had a high prevalence of chronic periodontitis, with severe and generalized clinical attachment loss, and its presence was significantly associated with age and smoking. This data should serve to prepare future detailed epidemiological studies and appropriate public health programs.
- Sexuality in multicultural Portugal – A cross-cultural survey of sexual and reproductive health indicators between Portuguese, Brazilians, Cape Verdeans, Angolans, Guineans and Sao Tomeans living in PortugalPublication . Barroso, A.; Cardoso, J.; Pascoal, P. M.Portugal has a history of emigration and immigration. Since the 1970’s, people from Portuguese Speaking African Countries as well as Brazil have immigrated to Portugal. Health professionals are not educated to provide health care to people from different cultures that face several cultural obstacles. Despite Portugal’s multiculturalism, few studies have been done to understand if there are differences about sexual and reproductive health between Portuguese people and immigrants that justify a culturally sensitive approach from health care professionals.
- Perceived addiction to online pornography and sexual attitudes in Portuguese college studentsPublication . Gomes, A.; Fernandes, A.; Ribeiro, R.; Cardoso, J.; Ramos, C.There is evidence that sexual attitudes are linked to viewing online pornography, but an operational definition of online pornography problematic use doesn’t exist. College students are usually associated with more permissive sexual attitudes that elicit a greater acceptance of internet pornography, which can be addictive. The main objective of this study was to characterize the use of online pornography and sexual attitudes in Portuguese college students, confirming if they are related and analyzing if these variables differ according to sociodemographic aspects: gender, sexual orientation, marital status, romantic relationship and educational level.

- Sexual Dysfunction in Portuguese Women with Type 2 DiabetesPublication . Cardoso, J.; Marques, N.In Portugal, the estimated prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in women is 10.9%, with type 2 DM (T2D) accounting for 90% of the cases. The reported prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in women with DM varies between 25-71% worldwide, but the genesis of the disease is still poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) in Portuguese women with T2D, to evaluate the impact of T2D in various domains of sexuality and to assess the influence of biopsychosocial characteristics on female sexual function and satisfaction.
- Indústria 4.0 – Desenvolvimento de um Manufacturing Execution SystemPublication . Rodrigues, Jonathan VasconcelosO presente documento tem como objetivo dar a conhecer o trabalho desenvolvido durante o projeto “Industry 4.0”. Este projeto foi proposto pela empresa Centro Tecnológico de Cerâmica e Vidro (CTCV) e insere-se no Mestrado em Informática Aplicada da Escola Superior de Oliveira de Hospital pertencente ao Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra. O estágio iniciou-se no passado dia 26 de outubro de 2016 e terminou a 30 de julho de 2017, sob a orientação dos professores Nuno Gil Fonseca e João Barata. O estágio teve como foco o desenvolvimento de um sistema de gestão da linha de produção - MES (Manufacturing execution systems). Neste sentido, pretendeu-se com a realização deste estágio a criação de uma solução diferente das que habitualmente se podem encontrar no mercado, através da utilização das metodologias da indústria 4.0 (i4.0), como por exemplo cloud, Internet das coisas, big data e compatibilidade com os dispositivos móveis.
- A polícia como garante dos direitos e garantias processuais penais: a efetividade do direito fundamental à segurançaPublication . Henz, Ademir; Valente, Manuel Monteiro GuedesO presente estudo teve como escopo a análise do papel da polícia no Estado Democrático de Direito, perpassando pela formação do Estado, análise dos direitos humanos, transição para direitos fundamentais, sua evolução, afirmação e, especialmente, o seu papel frente ao Estado. A partir da análise dos direitos fundamentais foi estudado, especificamente, o direito à segurança, identificando a perspectiva subjetiva e objetiva e a relação com a atividade policial. Analisou-se a polícia numa perspectiva conceitual, histórica e funcional, identificando o papel da polícia nas Constituições Democráticas de Portugal e do Brasil, bem como os modelos policiais. Por fim, fez-se uma identificação do papel da polícia como garante dos direitos e garantias processuais penais, fazendo a conceituação delas. Além disso, foram identificados os princípios norteadores da atividade policial, visando conciliar e nortear a ação policial, a fim de conciliar os conflitos e conseguir atingir o fim último do Estado: a dignidade da pessoa humana. Por fim, sabendo dos conflitos entre direitos de mesma hierarquia, colisão de direitos fundamentais e/ou direitos ou garantias fundamentais, identificou-se o princípio da concordância prática ou harmonização de Manuel Monteira Guedes Valente como solução para a colisão entre dois direitos/garantias de mesma equivalência. Como técnica da investigação utilizouse a revisão bibliográfica qualitativa.
