Os modos de fazer pesquisa científica têm vindo a alterar-se, em função das mudanças pelas quais passa o Ensino Superior, assim como os sistemas de ciência e tecnologia, no seu todo. Na Europa vivem-se tempos de grandes questionamentos acerca do modo de proceder relativamente à definição de metodologias de avaliação e/ou financiamento público à investigação individual e/ou coletiva. A tendência geral, neste contexto, é para aperfeiçoar as metodologias de avaliação, através da definição de indicadores que permitam medir as várias dimensões do trabalho científico. No campo específico da avaliação, prevê-se cada vez mais a avaliação do impacto das pesquisas. Ocorre que, apesar do número e da amplitude dos indicadores que vão sendo propostos, a definição de impacto resulta numa tarefa difícil. Não só porque a realidade medida nem toda é perfeitamente traduzível em algo tangível, mas também porque existem diferenças significativas nos modos como as diferentes áreas produzem conhecimento. Neste artigo, pretende-se refletir sobre esse conceito de impacto, nomeadamente ao nível das ciências sociais, evidenciando aquelas que são as principais conclusões e reflexões de estudos e escritos mais recentes.

Gender ideologies in Cape Verde are shifting. Individuals find themselves caught between changing tides, pushed and pulled in opposite directions by divergent gendered expectations. The article examines the different ways in which young women and men take recourse to tactics in response to the tensions that arise as they deal with changing gender ascriptions in the midst of their relations with community and kin. Women, in particular, are unevenly affected by traditional demands and expectations whilst they cross the boundaries of traditional gender roles in their pursuit of enhanced education and more sexual freedom. Yet, their actions are not characterized by an outright rejection of traditional gender ideologies, but rather by piecemeal tactical manoeuvres to plot a route through the centrifugal forces at play. keywords

Shifting from chemical to biotechnological processes is one of the cornerstones of 21st century industry. The production of a great range of chemicals via biotechnological means is a key challenge on the way toward a bio-based economy. However, this shift is occurring at a pace slower than initially expected. The development of efficient cell factories that allow for competitive production yields is of paramount importance for this leap to happen. Constraint-based models of metabolism, together with in silico strain design algorithms, promise to reveal insights into the best genetic design strategies, a step further toward achieving that goal. In this work, a thorough analysis of the main in silico constraint-based strain design strategies and algorithms is presented, their application in real-world case studies is analyzed, and a path for the future is discussed.

Haloplasmataceae is a family within the order Haloplasmatales, which currently includes one single genus and species: Haloplasma contractile. This family has unusual phenotypic features the most noticeable being a unique morphology and cellular contractility cycle and a distinct phylogenetic position between the Firmicutes and the Tenericutes (Mollicutes). Members of the Haloplasmataceae have been isolated from the upper sediments of a deep-sea anoxic brine in the Red Sea, but cultivation-independent studies have found related sequences in a wide range of biotopes including other extreme environments, contaminated soils and marine sediments, as well as intestinal samples. The isolation and description of new representatives of this family might therefore result in significant changes to the current description.
