Qual é a peça que me falta?: um estudo sobre a qualidade das relações amorosas e as competências interpessoais

O amor é uma das emoções mais intensas e transformadoras no ser humano. Por este motivo o presente estudo propôs-se a investigar a qualidade das relações amorosas, tendo em conta o tempo de duração do relacionamento: curto (até 12 meses) e longo (mais de 12 meses), verificando a influência das competências interpessoais e da proximidade assim como do tempo despendido nas redes virtuais a comunicar com o parceiro. A amostra foi constituída por 198 adolescentes e jovens adultos/as portugueses/as com idades entre 16 e 24 anos que mantem uma relação amorosa. A investigação quantitativa utilizou um protocolo constituído pelos instrumentos: Questionário do Relacionamento Amoroso, Escala da Inclusão do Outro no Self e Questionário de Competências Interpessoais. Considerando os resultados obtidos concluiu-se que não existe uma relação entre a qualidade das relações amorosas e o tempo de duração das mesmas. Porém, admite-se que as competências interpessoais interferem preponderantemente na qualidade das relações; ABSTRACT: "What is the missing piece of me?".

Correspondo eu ou respondes-me tu? Uma questão de desejo

Este estudo propôs-se investigar, como a qualidade da relação amorosa era influenciada pela proximidade, tempo de duração da relação e ainda as dimensões propostas pelo CRQ 6.0 – Central Relationship Questionnaire. A amostra foi constituída por 179 (jovens) portugueses/as, com idades entre 16 e 24 anos, que, mantenham uma relação amorosa. A investigação, de natureza quantitativa, utilizou um protocolo formado pelos instrumentos: Questionário Relationship Questionaire (QRA), Escala de Inclusão do Self (IOS) e Central Relationship Questionnaire (CRQ 6.0) Tendo conta os resultados obtidos, é percetível que a qualidade da relação é influenciada por diversos fatores, apesar de não terem existido dados estatísticos significativos em comparação com as variáveis apresentadas no estudo. Apesar disso a Resposta do Eu, foi a dimensão que mais revelou dados significativos tanto na qualidade da relação, como no tempo de duração da mesma; I correspond or Do you answer me?

Nevertheless the I response was the dimension that showed more significant data both in the quality of the relationship, as time duration.

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF PLANT PARASITIC NEMATODES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOIL PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS DURING THE FALLOW PERIOD AFTER SUGARBEET AND LEADING INTO TOMATO CULTIVATION

The main objective of this research was the study of the soil nematode community, and in particular plant parasitic nematodes (PPN), from a field located in Portugal’s southern region, used for sugarbeet production. The study was performed from February to July 2003, covering part of the fallow period previous to tomato cultivation, the alternative crop in the rotation. The end of the fallow period in March and the soil preparation period in May were marked by a significant reduction in the numbers of PPN, whereas their numbers increased on the following tomato crop. The genus Helicotylenchus stood out as the most representative group, forming 90% of all PPN counted each month. The genus Heterodera was relatively abundant in the months following the previous sugarbeet crop, and numbers of the genus Meloidogyne increased during the tomato crop. The correlations between these group and environmental parameters show that, apart from the direct influence of the host, pH, organic matter, temperature and soil moisture significantly influenced nematode abundance and community composition.
