- Regularisation and central limit theorems for an inverse problem in network sampling applicationsPublication . Antunes, Nelson; Jacinto, Gonçalo; Pipiras, VladasAn inverse problem motivated by packet sampling in communication networks and edge sampling in directed complex networks is studied through the operator perspective. The problem is shown to be ill-posed, with the resulting naive estimator potentially having very heavy tails, satisfying non-Gaussian central limit theorem and showing poor statistical performance. Regularisation of the problem leads to the Gaussian central limit theorem and superior performance of the regularised estimator, as a result of desirable properties of underlying operators. The limiting variance and convergence rates of the regularised estimator are also investigated. The results are illustrated on synthetic and real data from communication and complex networks.
- Developing a european psychotherapy consortium (EPoC): towards adopting a single-item self-report outcome measure across European countriesPublication . Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Lutz, Wolfgang; Schwartz, Brian; Oliveira, João Tiago; Saarni, Suoma E.; Tishby, Orya; Rubel, Julian A.; Boehnke, Jan R.; Montesano, Adrian; Paiva, Dario; Ceridono, Davide; Zech, Emmanuelle; Willemsen, Jochem; Saarni, Samuli I.; Erzar, Katarina Kompan; Janeiro, Luís; Gelo, Omar C. G.; Errázuriz, Paula; Holas, Pawel; Styła, Rafał; Rožič, Tatjana; Rosenström, Tom; Békés, Vera; Unoka, Zsolt; Barkham, MichaelBackground: Complementing the development of evidence-based psychological therapies, practice-based evidence has developed from patient samples collected in routine care, addressing questions relevant to patients and practitioners, and thereby expanding our knowledge of psychological therapies and their impact. Implementation of assessments in routine care allows for timely clinical decision support and the collection of multiple practice-based data sets by addressing the needs of patients and clinicians (e.g., routine outcome monitoring) and the needs of researchers (e.g., identifying the impact of therapist variables on outcomes). Method: In this article we describe an initiative developed in Europe, through the European Chapter of the Society for Psychotherapy Research, aimed at creating a consortium that has the potential for collecting data on tens of thousands of patients per year. Results: A survey identified one of the main problems in the development of a common data set to be the heterogeneity of measures used by members (e.g., 87 different pre-post outcomes). We report on the results of the survey and the initial stage of identifying a single-item - the Emotional and Psychological Outcome (EPO-1) - measure and the process of its translation into multiple European languages. Conclusions: We conclude this first stage of the overall project by discussing the future potential of the Consortium in relation to the development of procedures that allow crosswalks of outcome measures and the creation of a task force that may be consulted when new data sets are collected, aiming for new common measures to be implemented and shared.
- Predictors of myositis in mixed connective tissue disease: a multicentre retrospective studyPublication . Melo, A. T.; António, M. Silvério; Martinho, J. Martins; Guimarães, F.; Dourado, E.; Oliveira, D.; Lopes, J.; Saraiva, A.; Gago, A.; Correia, M.; Fernandes, A. L.; Dinis, S.; Teixeira, R.; Silva, S. P.; Costa, C.; Beirão, T.; Furtado, C.; Abreu, P.; Khmelinskii, N.Objectives: We aimed to identify clinical and serological predictors of myositis in mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). Methods: We performed a nationwide, retrospective, multicentre study including adult-onset MCTD patients fulfilling at least one of the following diagnostic criteria: Sharp’s, Kasukawa, Alarcón-Segovia, or Kahn’s. Univariable analysis was performed using Chi-square, Fisher exact, Student’s t or Mann-Whitney U tests, as appropriate. Multivariable analysis was performed using binary logistic regression. Results: Ninety-eight patients were included. Myositis was observed in 43.9% of patients, of whom 60.5% had myositis at disease onset. Proximal muscle weakness was described in 30 patients with muscle involvement (70%). Gastrointestinal involvement was identified in 28% and respiratory involvement in 29% of myositis patients. In the same subgroup of patients, 41.7% had a myopathic pattern on electromyography, and 47.1% had histological myositis features in the muscle biopsy. Fever (OR=6.96, p=0.022) was an independent predictor of myositis, regardless of sex, age at diagnosis, ancestry, and respiratory involvement. African ancestry (OR=8.39, p=0.019), leukopenia at the disease onset (OR 6.24, p=0.021), and younger age at diagnosis (OR=1.07/year, p=0.035) were identified as independent predictors of myositis at disease onset, regardless of sex and scleroderma pattern in capillaroscopy. Conclusions: Myositis is a common manifestation of MCTD, even at the disease onset. African ancestry, leukopenia at the disease onset, younger age at diagnosis, and fever should prompt a thorough evaluation for myositis.
- A latitudinal cline in the taxonomic structure of eelgrass epifaunal communities is associated with plant genetic diversityPublication . Gross, Collin P.; Duffy, J. Emmett; Hovel, Kevin A.; Reynolds, Pamela L.; Boström, Christoffer; Boyer, Christoffer; Cusson, Mathieu; Eklöf, Johan; Engelen, Aschwin; Eriksson, Britas Klemens; Fodrie, F.

Randall; Jorgensen, Pablo; Kardish, Melissa R.; Kruschel, Claudia; Lee, Kun‐Seop; Lefcheck, Jonathan; McGlathery, Karen; Moksnes, Per‐Olav; Nakaoka, Masahiro; O'Connor, Mary I.; O'Connor, Nessa E.; Olsen, Jeanine L.; Orth, Robert J.; Peterson, Bradley J.; Reiss, Henning; Rossi, Francesca; Ruesink, Jennifer; Sotka, Erik E.; Thormar, Jonas; Tomas, Fiona; Unsworth, Richard; Voigt, Erin P.; Whalen, Matthew A.; Ziegler, Shelby L.; Stachowicz, John J.Aim: Biogenic structural complexity increases mobile animal richness and abundance at local, regional and global scales, yet animal taxa vary in their response to complexity. When these taxa also vary functionally, habitat structures favouring certain taxa may have consequences for ecosystem function. We characterised global patterns of epifaunal invertebrates in eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds that varied in structural and genetic composition. Location: North America, Europe and Asia. Time Period: 2014. Major Taxa Studied: Peracarid crustaceans and gastropod molluscs. Methods: We sampled epifaunal invertebrate communities in 49 eelgrass beds across 37° latitude in two ocean basins con currently with measurements of eelgrass genetic diversity, structural complexity and other abiotic and biotic environmental variables. We examined how species richness, abundance and community composition varied with latitude and environmental predictors using a random forest approach. We also examined how functional trait composition varied along with community structure. Results: Total species richness decreased with latitude, but this was accompanied by a taxonomic shift in dominance from peracarid crustaceans to gastropods, which exhibited different sets of functional traits. Greater eelgrass genetic diversity was strongly correlated with both richness and abundance of peracarids, but less so for gastropods. Main Conclusions: Our results add to a growing body of literature that suggests genetic variation in plant traits influences their associated faunal assemblages via habitat structure. Because peracarids and gastropods exhibited distinct functional traits, our results suggest a tentative indirect link between broad-scale variation in plant genetic diversity and ecosystem function.
- Romy Schneider em Portugal: Cinema transnacional e censura no período Marcelista (1968-1974)Publication . Carrega, Jorge; Morais, Ana BelaO objetivo principal deste artigo é investigar a presença de Romy Schneider nos cinemas portugueses, em particular na região do Algarve, valorizando a dimensão transnacional do seu estrelato, e analisando, simultaneamente, os processos de censura aos filmes da atriz em Portugal. O período cronológico escolhido para este artigo vai de 1968 a 1974, ou seja, o período final da ditadura portuguesa, no qual Marcelo Caetano foi Presidente do Conselho de Ministros. Estes anos coincidem com uma representação da atriz no ecrã diferente daquela que a celebrizou nos anos 50, projetando uma imagem de pureza e candura, sobre tudo com a trilogia Sissi, a Imperatriz austríaca, e correspondem ao período áureo da sua carreira na indústria de cinema da Europa mediterrânea. Quais os comentários dos censores? Havia maior abertura nos critérios da censura aos filmes, no que respeita a mostrar imagens de corpo nu e a assuntos de ordem ética, nestes últimos anos da ditadura portuguesa? Estas são questões a que tentaremos dar resposta, tendo em conta o conteúdo dos relatórios e processos de censura. A investigação aqui apresentada desenvolveu-se nos arquivos do Secretariado Nacional da Informação e Turismo, nomeadamente nos processos de censura aos filmes estrangeiros, que estão depositados no Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT) em Lisboa.
- Contemporary female voices: The case study of Our Uniform, by Yegane MoghaddamPublication . Peres, Cátia; Levitan, CynthiaThis article is focused on the relevance of addressing contemporary representation of women in animation films. Its main objective is to create awareness on the theme, to contribute to a global dialogue that helps to fight intolerance against women and to promote an ethical conscientization of mutual coexistence, based on human rights, with a special focus on gender equal-ity. To achieve this objective, our research conductedan analysis of the case study, Our Uniform (2023), directed by Iranian Yegane Moghaddam, which reflects the problematics of women in a very expressive terms, in a geography where the extreme consequences of violence against women have not yet been resolved and which contributes to answer our objective. As a methodology of research, we combined literature review focused on the representations of women in the Islamic world, a series of three interviews conducted by the authors to the Iranian film director to determine her intentions and to understand the contemporary Iranian as a primary source of information, and the use of a animation model of analysis created specifically for animated film (Peres, 2019).
- Propostas para uma ficção vivaPublication . Silva Cavalcante Júnior, Francisco; Tavares, Mirian; de Queiroz Carneiro Dourado, Ana Patricia; costa, susana; C. Martins, Ana FilipaEm escrever é muito perigoso (2023), a escritora polonesa Olga Tokarczuk, ao falar sobre seu processo de criação, lembra-nos de que o mecanismo do tempo é carne (matéria viva) – e faz questão de colocar isso entre parênteses, como um aparte, um memo, para que não esqueçamos que afinal é este o assunto. Este número da rotura, que dedicou um Dossier ao pensamento ficcional e à urgência de refletir sobre a matéria viva da ficção, reuniu uma coleção de textos que contribuem com essa visão. Tokarczuk acredita que “só a ficção, com seu potencial para construir uma pessoa inteira, tem vantagem sobre os argumentos da razão”. Não discordamos da escritora e, neste Dossier, buscamos somar aos argumentos da razão a observação atenta de experiências – um feixe amplo delas – de diferentes gestos de ficcionar (entre o audiovisual, a poesia, a música, a performance, as artes visuais etc.), em estreito diálogo com os estudos dos processos de criação, como modos de resistir ao adormecimento dos sentidos e às histórias sem viço que a sociedade, cada dia mais automatizada, ofecere-nos. Compõem este acervo uma confluência de diferentes géneros textuais e artísticos, alguns deles a estrear, como o Relato de Processo e o Ensaio Visual, que se juntam a outros já recorrentes na revista, como o Artigo, o Ensaio, a Entrevista e a Crónica de Arte.
