Field lab: Entrepreneurial and innovative ventures

Relatório final de estágio realizado na Escola Secundária de Mem Martins

O presente relatório foi realizado no âmbito do mestrado em ensino da educação física nos ensinos básico e secundário da Faculdade de Motricidade Humana. Este relatório finaliza assim o processo de formação inicial, sendo o estágio pedagógico realizado na escola secundária de Mem Martins, em Rio de Mouro, concelho de Sintra. O contexto, nos seus diferentes níveis, torna-se essencial para a caracterização de qualquer profissão, introduzindo a reflexão critica nas quatro áreas de intervenção do estágio i.e., organização e gestão do ensino e da aprendizagem, investigação e inovação pedagógica, participação na escola e relação com a comunidade. O acompanhamento de uma turma do 9º ano permitiu o desenvolvimento de trabalhos de acompanhamento da direção de turma, planeamento, condução do ensino e avaliação. Foi ainda desenvolvida uma investigação sobre a motivação dos alunos do ensino secundário nas aulas de educação física. Num contexto de participação na escola, foram realizadas atividades no seio do grupo disciplinar, havendo ainda lugar para tarefas como o acompanhamento do desporto escolar e a integração num projeto de rastreio, acompanhamento e sessões educacionais com vista a melhoria da condição física dos alunos. O contacto com a realidade escolar, numa disciplina prática como a educação física, é fundamental na formação de professores de qualidade, sendo que este se verificou fundamental para o desenvolvimento profissional, que se revelou importante para a evolução do professor.

Jerónimo Martins and internal social responsibility : a case study on employee awareness

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais

Jerónimo Martins, S.A.: Valoración de la empresa

El presente trabajo pretende estimar el valor de la empresa portuguesa Jerónimo Martins, S.A., que cotiza en la Bolsa de Lisboa perteneciendo al índice PSI20. Primeramente se usará el Método de descuento de flujos de caja o de flujos descontados (Discounted Cash Flow), donde a través de una determinada tasa de descuento se actualizarán los flujos futuros esperados para un determinado horizonte temporal en el momento de la valoración. La tasa de descuento a aplicar será la más usada a nivel profesional, el Coste Medio Ponderado de Capital (WACC), que tiene en cuenta la estructura de capital de la empresa, y por consecuente sus posibilidades de endeudamiento, para su valoración. Luego, como no se liquidará la empresa al final del periodo estipulado y suponiendo que seguirá su crecimiento en el tiempo, existe la necesidad de estimar su valor residual.

Intercomparison study of six HTDMAs: results and recommendations

We report on an inter-comparison of six different hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analysers (HTDMAs). These HTDMAs are used worldwide in laboratories and in field campaigns to measure the water uptake of aerosol particles and were never intercompared. After an investigation of the different design of the instruments with their advantages and inconveniencies, the methods for calibration, validation and analysis are presented. Measurements of nebulised ammonium sulphate as well as of secondary organic aerosol generated from a smog chamber were performed. Agreement and discrepancies between the instrument and to the theory are discussed, and final recommendations for a standard instrument are given, as a benchmark for laboratory or field experiments to ensure a high quality of HTDMA data.

The effects of exercise-induced weight loss on appetite-related peptides and motivation to eat

Context: The magnitude of exercise-induced weight loss depends on the extent of compensatory responses. An increase in energy intake is likely to result from changes in the appetite control system toward an orexigenic environment; however, few studies have measured how exercise impacts on both orexigenic and anorexigenic peptides. ---------- Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of medium-term exercise on fasting/postprandial levels of appetite-related hormones and subjective appetite sensations in overweight/obese individuals. ---------- Design and Setting: We conducted a longitudinal study in a university research center. ---------- Participants and Intervention: Twenty-two sedentary overweight/obese individuals (age, 36.9 ± 8.3 yr; body mass index, 31.3 ± 3.3 kg/m2) took part in a 12-wk supervised exercise programme (five times per week, 75% maximal heart rate) and were requested not to change their food intake during the study. ---------- Main Outcome Measures: We measured changes in body weight and fasting/postprandial plasma levels of glucose, insulin, total ghrelin, acylated ghrelin (AG), peptide YY, and glucagon-like peptide-1 and feelings of appetite. ---------- Results: Exercise resulted in a significant reduction in body weight and fasting insulin and an increase in AG plasma levels and fasting hunger sensations. A significant reduction in postprandial insulin plasma levels and a tendency toward an increase in the delayed release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (90–180 min) were also observed after exercise, as well as a significant increase (127%) in the suppression of AG postprandially. ---------- Conclusions: Exercise-induced weight loss is associated with physiological and biopsychological changes toward an increased drive to eat in the fasting state. However, this seems to be balanced by an improved satiety response to a meal and improved sensitivity of the appetite control system.

Ghrelin and obestatin concentrations during puberty: Relationships with adiposity, nutrition and physical activity

Ghrelin and obestatin are two peptides associated with appetite control and the regulation of energy balance in adults. It is intuitive that they have an important role in growth and development during puberty. Therefore, it is acknowledged that these peptides, in addition to others, form part of the substrate underlying energy homeostasis which in turn will contribute to body weight regulation and could explain changes in energy balance during puberty. Both peptides originate from the stomach; hence, it is intuitive that they are involved in generating signals from tissue stores which influence food intake. This could be manifested via alterations in the drive to eat (i.e. hunger), eating behaviors and appetite regulation. Furthermore, there is some evidence that these peptides might also be associated with physical activity behaviors and metabolism. Anecdotally, children and adolescents experience behavioral and metabolic changes during growth and development which will be associated with physiological changes.

Chaos and creativity of play : designing emotional engagement in public spaces

How do we create strong urban narratives? How do we create affection for our cities? Play, an essential part of any species' biological existence and development, can often be perceived as chaotic and derogatory to social and spatial order. Play is also often perceived as a creative force which generates social and spatial value. This paper looks at the design approaches to both chaotic and creative perceptions of publics at play in urban space. Commonly, Urban and Architectural Design constitutes reactive management of perceived chaos, which derogatorily effects our sensory and emotional engagement with space. Alternatively, Urban and Architectural Design can appeal to the creativity of play, by encouraging unsolicited novelty that is vital to strong experiential narratives in the city and iterating environments that encourage the emergence of physical, emotional and cultural invention. These perceptions of chaos and creativity affect the design methodology of professional practice. Tested through the exciting vehicle of Parkour as urban narrative, the constraints and opportunities of both approaches are presented.
