Documentos das provas de agregação de Marisa Isabel Silva Cesário. Titulo da Lição: Mapping the patterns of cooperative arrangements for innovation
Publication . Cesário, Marisa
The present report, titled "Mapping the Patterns of Cooperative Arrangements for Innovation – A Detailed Lesson," fulfills the requirements outlined in Artº 8 (alínea c) of Decreto-Lei nº 239/2007, 19th June. This study aims to provide insights into the drivers behind firms’ decisions to engage in cooperative arrangements towards innovation. The research intends to explore the presence of cooperation for innovation between firms and various types of external partners and to investigate the attributes that make firms more likely to participate in such networking. We considered the absorptive capacity of the firm, along with the need to share costs and risks, as key determinants of cooperation for innovation. The list of predictors also covered the type of innovation and firm characteristics. The study reveals that firms encountering difficulties in accessing external knowledge often collaborate, particularly with consultants, to access specialized expertise crucial for innovation. Additionally, financially constrained firms collaborate with suppliers and academic institutions to manage costs and access public funds, highlighting cooperation's role in cost-sharing and obtaining external financial resources. Moreover, market uncertainties drive collaboration with universities and customers to gain insights and mitigate risks, while intense competition prompts cooperation with competitors, underscoring cooperation's strategic importance in addressing market challenges and leveraging partner expertise. In terms of innovation type, firms introducing "new to the market" innovations prefer collaboration with customers, stressing the importance of aligning partner selection with the pursued innovation type. Our findings contribute to theoretical understanding by clarifying the complex interplay of motivations and patterns underlying cooperative arrangements for innovation across diverse partner types, firm characteristics, and industry sectors within the Portuguese context.

Perceptions of insects and algae as alternative protein sources
Publication . Linares, Diego; Francisco, Joice; Nogueira, Lyvia; Caetano, Melissa; Pinto, Ezequiel; Palma Mateus, Maria
Algae and insects are commercially available food products that can be alternative protein sources to meat, fish, and eggs, even if consumers find them less appealing. This study analyzed the opinions of a non-random sample of Portuguese adults, using an online, self-fulfillment questionnaire. We collected valid questionnaires from 188 participants. Previous intake history was low for insectbased products (11%) but not for algae (61%). Protein bars with insect flour or algae were considered the most appealing products based on alternative protein sources. Consumer education is needed to promote insects as alternative protein sources.
Prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication use in older adults with chronic diseases
Publication . Nascimento, Tânia; Andrade, Amanda de Oliveira; Cabrita, Catarina; Pais, Sandra; De la Puerta, Rocio
Older adults often consume high amounts of medicines, some of which may not be suitable for their age. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on elderly people (>60 years) diagnosed with chronic diseases and taking at least one medication. The consumption of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) was analyzed using the EU(7)-PIM List. Of the 65 elderly included, the majority were women (83.1%), diagnosed with hypertension (60.0%), and took 4.09 ± 2.104 medicines. More than 58% consumed at least one PIM. Nervous system PIMs were the most prevalent (29.2%, n = 19). There is a high prevalence of PIM use among the elderly, necessitating regular evaluation for safer medication use.
Determinants of consumers’ acceptance and adoption of novel food in view of more resilient and sustainable food systems in the EU: a systematic literature review
Publication . Laureati, Monica; De Boni, Annalisa; Saba, Anna; Lamy, Elsa; Minervini, Fabio; Delgado, Amélia; Sinesio, Fiorella
This review article aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the main determinants of consumers’ acceptance of novel foods (new foods and ingredients) in the EU with emphasis on product’s intrinsic properties (sensory characteristics) and individual factors (socio-demographics, perceptive, psychological) by adopting a systematic approach following the PRISMA methodology. Case studies on terrestrial (i.e., insects, cultured meat and other animal origin products, plantbased food including mushrooms, plant-based analogues, pulses, and cereals) and aquatic systems (i.e., algae and jellyfish) are included focusing on age-related and cross-national differences in consumer acceptance of novel foods and ingredients. General trends have emerged that are common to all the novel foods analysed, regardless of their aquatic or terrestrial origin. Aspects such as food neophobia, unfamiliarity, and poor knowledge of the product are important barriers to the consumption of novel foods, while healthiness and environmental sustainability perception are drivers of acceptance. Sensory properties are challenging for more familiar ingredients such as plant-based food (e.g., novel food made by pulses, mushrooms, cereals and pseudocereals). Results are discussed in terms of feasibility of introducing these products in the EU food systems highlighting strategies that can encourage the use of new ingredients or novel foods.
