The short article attempts to make some very brief reflections on the effects a lack of public policies positively discriminatory in terms of public employment retirement. In particular, the observation of the absurd contradiction between the average age of retirement at the time of death (for men and women) and the average pension time for men and women in public employment in Portugal.

It is a fact, and far from being a new one, that students have been entering Higher Education courses with many different backgrounds in terms of secondary school programs they attended. The impact of these basic skills is a general and worldwide challenge, fundamentally when facing some specific constructive subjects like foreign languages and Mathematics. Working with students with an extensive variety of Math qualifications is an outrageous challenge when they enter an advanced Math course, leading to an almost generalized expectations failure - from students enrolled in course and from their teachers, who feel powerless in trying to monitor knowledge construction from completely different starting points. If teachers "haste" is average, more than half of the students do not go along and give up, even before experiencing any kind of evaluation procedure. On the contrary, if the speed is too low, others are discouraged (feeling not progressing at all) and the teacher runs the risk of not meeting the minimum objectives (general and specific) of its course, which may have a negative impact on students future training development. Failure in Mathematics, despite being a recurrent and global issue, does not have any magical solution, however, in general, teachers in this area seem untiring, searching, investigating, trying and implementing new and old recipes to tackle and demystify this subject. In this article we describe a project developed in a Math course, with the first year students from an Accounting and Management bachelor degree, and its outcomes since it was brought to practice, revealing its impact in students success, from approval to dropout rates, in this course. We will shortly describe students differentiated Math backgrounds, their results in a pre-assessment analysis and how we try to deal with these differences and level them up, having in mind the same finish line. One should never forget that all these students where officially accepted in higher education institutions, so they are ones reality, the reality of institutions whose name one should value and strive to defend.

Introduo: As doenas cardiovasculares so a principal causa de morte na Europa e o sedentarismo um dos seus principais fatores de risco. Os programas de reabilitao cardiovascular (RCV) no domiclio parecem ser eficazes na tolerncia ao exerccio. No entanto, torna-se difcil reproduzir um protocolo de exerccios no domiclio, por se tratar de estudos pouco especficos. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos de um programa de exerccios especfico realizado no domiclio, na tolerncia ao exerccio em pacientes integrados num programa RCV. Metodologia: Estudo quase experimental composto por 20 indivduos com pelo menos um ano de enfarte agudo do miocrdio, distribudos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: grupo experimental (GE) e grupo de controlo (GC), ambos com 10 indivduos. O programa de RCV no domiclio (constitudo por 10 exerccios) teve a durao de 8 semanas, com uma frequncia de 3 vezes por semana. Avaliou-se a frequncia cardaca (FC), tenso arterial e duplo produto basais e mximos; FC de recuperao; equivalentes metablicos (METs); velocidade; inclinao; tempo de prova e de recuperao; ndice ciftico; equilbrio; e tempo em atividade moderada a vigorosa. Resultados: Ao fim de 8 semanas de exerccio o GE aumentou significativamente os METs (p=0,001), tenso arterial sistlica mxima (p<0,001), duplo produto mximo (p<0,001) e tempo de prova (p=0,037) e diminuiu significativamente o tempo de recuperao (p<0,001), quando comparado com o GC. Concluso: O programa de exerccios no domiclio promoveu uma melhoria na tolerncia ao exerccio e parece ter melhorado o equilbrio, para a amostra em estudo.
