Industrialização e Urbanização em Portugal: que relações? O caso do Anteplano de Urbanização da Vila do Barreiro de 1957

The main purpose of this paper is to focus discussion around the concept of “enterprise” as a reality which, together with other production units located in urban areas, could generate economies of agglomeration. These in turn play a role of enormous importance to local and regional level. By this route was thought to introduce a multidisciplinary approach in the debate about territory.

Evolving definition of sociomuseology : proposal for reflection

Sociomuseology expresses a considerable amount of the effort made to suit museological facilities to the conditions of contemporary society. The process of opening up the museum, as well as its organic relation with the social context that infuses it with life, has resulted in the need to structure and clarify the relations, notions and concepts that may define this process. Sociomuseology is thus a scientific field of teaching, research and performance which emphasizes the articulation of museology, in particular, with the areas of knowledge covered by Human Sciences, Development Studies, Services Science, and Urban and Rural Planning. The multidisciplinary approach of Sociomuseology aims to strengthen the acknowledgement of museology as a resource for the sustainable development of Humanity, based on equal opportunities as well as social and economic inclusion. Sociomuseology bases its social intervention on mankind’s cultural and natural heritage, both tangible and intangible. What characterizes Sociomuseology is not so much the nature of its premises and its goals, as is the case with other areas of knowledge, but the interdisciplinary focus which makes it draw on perfectly consolidated areas of knowledge and relate them with Museology itself.

Efeitos agudos do tratamento de radioterapia em doentes com carcinoma de cabeça e pescoço: IMRT vs RapidArc

A Radioterapia é parte integrante, standart, da abordagem multidisciplinar do tratamento de Carcinomas de Cabeça e Pescoço (CPP). A perceção e descrição dos efeitos provocados pelo tratamento ao nível dos tecidos normais é importante para avaliação clínica do doente, já que com o aparecimento de efeitos agudos severos/graves ao tratamento, este é interrompido, o que afetando diretamente a sobrevida do doente. Este estudo incidiu na avaliação de 6 semanas de tratamento de 46 doentes, contemplando a avaliação dos efeitos agudos do tratamento em cinco áreas anatómicas distintas: Pele, Mucosa, Glândulas Salivares, Faringe/Esófago e Laringe. Fundamentada nos critérios de classificação do Acute Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria da Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). Após a avaliação e análise dos dados, verificou-se que os efeitos agudos obtidos com a técnica de RapidArcTM surgiram mais precocemente, quando comparados com técnica de IMRT. Por outro lado, com a técnica de IMRT registaram-se efeitos mais exacerbados, de alto Grau.
