In this work we report on the structure and magnetic and electrical transport properties of CrO2 films deposited onto (0001) sapphire by atmospheric pressure (AP)CVD from a CrO3 precursor. Films are grown within a broad range of deposition temperatures, from 320 to 410 degrees C, and oxygen carrier gas flow rates of 50-500 seem, showing that it is viable to grow highly oriented a-axis CrO2 films at temperatures as low as 330 degrees C i.e., 60-70 degrees C lower than is reported in published data for the same chemical system. Depending on the experimental conditions, growth kinetic regimes dominated either by surface reaction or by mass-transport mechanisms are identified. The growth of a Cr2O3 interfacial layer as an intrinsic feature of the deposition process is studied and discussed. Films synthesized at 330 degrees C keep the same high quality magnetic and transport properties as those deposited at higher temperatures.

Introdução – Os benefícios do exercício físico em sobreviventes de cancro da mama têm sido reportados; contudo, a sua prática permanece baixa, tornando importante o conhecimento dos fatores que promovam a motivação e adesão ao exercício nesta população. Objetivos – Identificar as preferências quanto à programação e aconselhamento do exercício físico de uma amostra da população de mulheres portuguesas sobreviventes de cancro da mama e averiguar a influência das variáveis demográficas e médicas nestas preferências. Método – Foi aplicado um questionário a uma amostra não probabilística sequencial de 26 mulheres sobreviventes de cancro da mama. Resultados – A amostra era maioritariamente constituída por mulheres entre os 45 e os 62 anos, casadas ou em união de facto, com ensino básico, empregadas e com Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) > 24,4. Maioritariamente tinham realizado cirurgia radical há um mês ou mais, apresentavam estadio I do tumor, efetuavam quimioterapia como tratamento adjuvante e algumas realizavam classes de fisioterapia. A maioria das participantes demonstrava interesse em receber aconselhamento, sentia-se apta a participar num programa de exercício, preferia receber aconselhamento face-a-face no hospital e acompanhada por outros doentes oncológicos. O exercício deveria ser supervisionado e com intensidade moderada, sendo as caminhadas o tipo de exercício preferido. Não foi estatisticamente possível realizar a associação entre as variáveis demográficas e médicas e as preferências. Conclusão – Alguns resultados obtidos estão em concordância com estudos prévios; contudo, outros divergem destes. Os resultados obtidos podem fornecer informações importantes para a construção futura de programas de exercício para esta população. ABSTRACT - Introduction – The benefits of physical exercise in cancer survivors have been reported, although it’s practice remains low, becoming important the acknowledgement of the factors that promote the motivation and adhesion of physical exercise in this population. Objectives – To identify the preferences about programming and counseling of physical exercise inside a population-based sample of Portuguese women who have survived breast cancer. We also intend to investigate the influence of demographic and medical variables in those preferences. Method – A questionnaire was applied to a non-probabilistic sequential sample of 26 women that have survived breast cancer. Results – Our sample was mainly composed by women aged between 45 and 62, married or in a cohabitation state, with basic instruction, employed and with a Body Mass Index (BMI)> 24.4. Most of them have had radical mastectomy for at least one month, had the Stage I of the tumor, and had done chemotherapy as an adjuvant treatment and some of them were practicing post-surgery physical therapy. The majority of participants showed interest in receiving counseling, felt able to participate in an exercise program, preferred receiving face-to-face counseling, at the hospital and with other cancer patients. The exercise should be supervised and with a moderate intensity. Walking was their preferred choice of exercise. It was not statistically possible to establish the relationship between demographic and medical variables and those preferences. Conclusion – Some results are in agreement with previous studies; however, others diverge from these. The results obtained can provide important information for future construction of exercise programs for this population.

The magnetic and electrical properties of Ni implanted single crystalline TiO2 rutile were studied for nominal implanted fluences between 0.5 x 10(17) cm(-2) and 2.0 x 10(17) cm(-2) with 150 keV energy, corresponding to maximum atomic concentrations between 9 at% and 27 at% at 65 nm depth, in order to study the formation of metallic oriented aggregates. The results indicate that the as implanted crystals exhibit superparamagnetic behavior for the two higher fluences, which is attributed to the formation of nanosized nickel clusters with an average size related with the implanted concentration, while only paramagnetic behavior is observed for the lowest fluence. Annealing at 1073 K induces the aggregation of the implanted nickel and enhances the magnetization in all samples. The associated anisotropic behavior indicates preferred orientations of the nickel aggregates in the rutile lattice consistent with Rutherford backscattering spectrometry-channelling results. Electrical conductivity displays anisotropic behavior but no magnetoresistive effects were detected. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Com este artigo, pretende-se dar conta da reflexão resultante da experiência de ensino da sociologia na Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de Lisboa, nos últimos 12 anos. Após um breve enquadramento do contexto em que decorre esta experiência e da sua especificidade, procuram identificar-se os principais constrangimentos e questões que se foram colocando durante a prática lectiva das disciplinas de sociologia, relacionados com obstáculos epistemológicos e dificuldades referentes à articulação entre a mobilização de uma linguagem necessariamente compreensível para os estudantes e o imperativo de apresentação rigorosa dos temas propostos bem como com às vantagens e potenciais riscos da introdução de componentes de investigação. Por outro lado, abordam-se os objectivos e analisa-se o contributo do ensino da sociologia para a formação de técnicos de saúde, considerando a variabilidade do alcance das aprendizagens realizadas pelos (ex)estudantes.

In the history of modern communication, after the development of the printing press, the telegraph unleashed a revolution in communications. Today, Internet is in many ways its heir. Reflections on the telegraph may open up perspectives concerning tendencies, possibilities and pitfalls of the Internet. The telegraph has been well explored in important literature on communication and media which tends to emphasize the history of this technology, its social context and institutional meaning [e.g. Robert L. Thompson, 1947, Tom Standage, 2007 [1998]. James W. Carey, the North- American critical cultural studies' mentor, in his essay "Technology and Ideology. The Case of the Telegraph" (2009 [1983]), suggests a distinctive approach. In the telegraph, Carey sees the prototype of many subsequent commercial empires based on science and technology, a pioneer model for complex business management; an example of interest struggle for the patents control; an inductor of changes both in language and in structures of knowledge; and a promoter of a futurist and utopian thought of information technologies. Having in mind a revolution in communications promoted by the Internet, this paper revisits this seminal essay to explore its great attainment, as well as the problems of this kind of approach which conceives the innovation of the telegraph as a metaphor for all the innovations announcing the modern stage of history and determining still today the major lines of development in modern communication systems.

Considering that recent european high-speed railway system has a traction power system of kV 50 Hz, which causes electromagnetic emission for the outside world, it is important to dimension the railway system emissions, using a frequency/distance dependent propagation model. This paper presents an enhanced theoretical model for VLF to UHF propagation, railway system oriented. It introduces the near field approach (crucial in low frequency propagation) and also considers the source characteristics and type of measuring antenna. Simulations are presented, and comparisons are set with earlier far field models. Using the developed model, a real case study was performed in partnership with Refer Telecom (portuguese telecom operator for railways). The new propagation model was used in order to predict the future high-speed railway electromagnetic emissions in the Lisbon north track. The results show the model's prediction capabilities and also its applicability to realistic scenarios.
