RESUMO - O excesso de peso (EP) é um dos mais graves problemas de Saúde Pública deste século XXI, dada a sua elevada e crescente prevalência a nível mundial, afectando um elevado número de adultos, adolescentes e crianças, com graves consequências na saúde, sendo responsável pelo aumento das doenças crónicas e pela diminuição da duração e qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Em Portugal, a prevalência do EP afecta mais de metade da população adulta portuguesa. No meio militar, este problema é reflexo da prevalência do EP na população em geral e, para além das consequências económicas e na saúde, prejudica a aparência militar e pode comprometer a aptidão física. Pretende-se com realizar um estudo exploratório, com vista a realizar uma primeira abordagem do conhecimento do perfil e tendências do índice de massa corporal (IMC), bem como da prevalência do EP e, ainda, de possíveis associações entre o EP e a aptidão física, numa amostra representativa de militares no activo da Marinha Portuguesa (MP). Com os resultados deste estudo pretende-se alertar, pela primeira vez, para a problemática do EP no meio militar, contribuindo também para ampliar o conhecimento da prevalência do EP em subgrupos da população nacional. Os resultados obtidos poderão servir de base para a constituição de um sistema de vigilância, para um correcto entendimento da evolução da tendência do IMC e da prevalência de EP dos militares da MP, bem como disponibilizar uma base de partida para outros estudos, focando os determinantes do EP associados a estilos de vida. ------------ABSTRACT - Overweight and obesity severe Public Health problems of the XXI Century due to its high and increasing worldwide prevalence, including Portugal, and it afects a high number of adults, adolescents and children, with serious health consequences, being responsible for the increase of chronic diseases and for lower life quality and lower life expectancy. In Portugal, overweight prevalence affects more than half of adult’s population. Among the Navy, overweight problem reflects population’s tendency, and, besides it’s economic and health consequences, can affect military image and can jeopardize physical fitness with consequences in the Navy response and performance. This study carries out an exploratory first approach of body’s mass index profile and trends, as well the prevalence of overweight in a representative sample of on duty Portuguese Navy staff, and the potential links between overweight and physical fitness among this population. It outcome seeks, for the first time, to draw attention to the overweight problematic among Navy staff, being also a way to enhance the knowledge of overweight prevalence among population sub-groups. It outcome can be a starting point for the set up of monitoring systems, for a correct understanding body’s mass index evolution trends and the prevalence Navy staff overweight, being also a foundation for other studies, foc

The Republican National Guard has a core role concerning the security of Portugal’s roads since a significant part of them are under its responsibility. Dangerous driving is a crime that happens less times that other two crimes (driving without a license and driving under the influence), but it isn’t covered by the media like those two, much to the small number of reports written by the Security Forces. This work aims to approach the particularity of this crime given it poses a real threat and because its report requirements are far demanding. The thesis is divided in two parts. The first one develops the theory frame through the analysis of documents. The second part deals with the processing of fines from selected samples. The conclusion of this study states that there is a way of reducing situations that could result in this type of crime using fines. Other conclusion points to the fact that the time gap between the occurrence of the crime and a judge’s sentence is substantial, meaning that the military from the Republican National Guard often opt for the second option because the sentences and the security measures for this crime can often find parallel in other type of crimes. The about 200 sentences reached per day from courts all over the country when tied to the 700/800 criminal defenses mean that the National Authority for Road Security is overloaded with administrative work, which is a problem that could be surpassed with the implementation of a new document and a different access to the data of each driver through the National Authority for Road Security’s website.
