While it had been circulating in higher education policy, practices, and publications before that, two key 2014 publications on engaging students as partners, or SaP, inspired a myriad of practices and publications brought together by the relational, values-based ethos of partnership (Cook-Sather et al., 2014; Healey et al., 2014). A seductively simple idea— that students can collaborate with staff as partners on matters of teaching and learning—landed at the right time. The higher education sector was increasingly fixated on student involvement and engagement, particularly on how university changes students (Klemenčič, 2024). SaP offered a related but direction-shifting proposition: what if students could shape higher education?

- Comparing the outcomes of digital and traditional cardiac rehabilitation practices: a systematic review and meta-analysisPublication . Ansari, Sumbul; Nadar, Bhuvaneshwari G; Estêvão, Maria Dulce da Mota Antunes de Oliveira ; Aguiar, Débora R.; Ejeh, Jude; Khan, ZahidThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of digital cardiac rehabilitation (DCR) encompassing application-based telehealth compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), rehospitalisation, costs, quality of life (QoL), and physical activity levels in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). From 2014 to May 2024, a systematic search of the MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted using relevant keywords to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or randomised cross-over trials. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale and risk of bias tool. The included articles were then subjected to qualitative synthesis and meta-analysis. Thirteen studies involving 1850 participants were included in the study. Meta-analysis revealed statistically significant improvements in QoL (mean deviation (MD) = 0.10, 95% CI: 0.05-0.15, p = 0.0002). DCR compared with centre-based rehabilitation (CBR). These improvements in QoL likely translated to enhanced daily functioning, such as the increased ability to perform activities of daily living. However, no significant differences were found for physical activity levels (MD = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.49-4.87, p = 0.30), rehospitalisation (relative risk (RR) = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.66-1.11, p = 0.25) or MACE (RR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.42-1.07, p = 0.09). High heterogeneity was observed in QoL, likely due to variations in DCR modalities, study populations, and intervention content. The results of this study, therefore, must be interpreted with caution. DCR may offer significant benefits in terms of improving the QoL in patients with CAD. While promising trends were observed for rehospitalisation and MACE, further research is needed to confirm these findings. Potential reasons for the observed benefits of DCR over centre-based rehabilitation plausibly include improved accessibility, enhanced patient engagement, and greater flexibility. However, it is important to acknowledge the presence of heterogeneity among the included studies and potential gender imbalances within the study populations, which may have influenced the results. Future research should prioritize long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, real-world effectiveness in diverse populations, and the development of standardized DCR protocols.

OBJECTIVES To survey hospital patients to investigate their trust, concerns, and preferences toward the use of AI in health care and diagnostics and to assess the sociodemographic factors associated with patient attitudes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional study developed and implemented an anonymous quantitative survey between February 1 and November 1, 2023, using a nonprobability sample at 74 hospitals in 43 countries. Participants included hospital patients 18 years of age or older who agreed with voluntary participation in the survey presented in 1 of 26 languages. EXPOSURE Information sheets and paper surveys handed out by hospital staff and posted in conspicuous hospital locations. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was participant responses to a 26-item instrument containing a general data section (8 items) and 3 dimensions (trust in AI, AI and diagnosis, preferences and concerns toward AI) with 6 items each. Subgroup analyses used cumulative link mixed and binary mixed-effects models.
- Editorial: Endocrine disruption in marine species: unraveling pollution and climate change effectsPublication . Bertucci, Juan Ignacio; Blanco, Ayelén Melisa; Estêvão, Maria Dulce da Mota Antunes de OliveiraEndocrine disruption in marine species has emerged as a significant concern in environmental endocrinology, particularly in the context of escalating anthropogenic pressures. Persistent pollutants, including microplastics, heavy metals, and agrochemical residues, alongside climate-induced stressors like ocean warming and acidification, are now recognized as potent modulators of endocrine function in aquatic organisms. These stressors compromise critical physiological and behavioral processes, with potential implications for individual fitness, population viability, and ecosystem stability. The Research Topic Endocrine disruption in marine species: unraveling pollution and climate change effects brings together a multidisciplinary set of contributions that examine the mechanistic underpinnings, organismal impacts, and ecological implications of endocrine disruption across marine taxa. This editorial synthesizes the key findings, contextualizes them within the broader scientific discourse, and highlights knowledge gaps and future research directions.
- Potential impact of metabolic syndrome control on cardiovascular risk in elderly patients with diabetes: a cross-sectional studyPublication . Nascimento, Tânia; Estêvão, Maria Dulce da Mota Antunes de Oliveira ; Gonçalves, Adriana; Pinto, Ezequiel; De Sousa-Coelho, Ana Luísa; Neto Espírito-Santo, Margarida de FátimaMetabolic syndrome (MS), a complex pathology with features like abnormal body fat distribution, insulin resistance, and dyslipidaemia, contributes to higher cardiovascular (CV) risk. A cross-sectional study including 87 individuals assessed CV risk score in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes and MS in Algarve, Portugal. The 10-year CV risk score was estimated using the ADVANCE risk score calculator. The reductions in CV risk score were estimated by adjusting the data inputted on the online tool to achieve systolic blood pressure (SBP) <130 or <120 mmHg, and LDL cholesterol <70 mg/dL Beyond waist circumference, the mean number of clinical features of MS was 3.14 ± 0.84, without significant sex differences. The mean CV risk score was 22.5% (CI: 20.3–24.7). Sex-specific analysis showed higher risk score in males (24.2%, CI: 21.3–27.0) vs. females (19.7%, CI: 16.2–23.3; p = 0.028). Hypothetical risk score reductions show that lowering SBP to <130 mmHg could significantly lower the risk score by an average of 9.2% (CI: 7.7–10.7), whereas 34.5% of the participants would be out of the diagnostic criteria for MS. When comparing each potential intervention with current risk score, all interventions significantly reduce the 10-year CV risk score. The study highlights the potential of blood pressure control in reducing CV risk score and the importance of multifaceted risk score reduction strategies.
- Preface: VII Poster Sunset Session—ESSUAlg 2024Publication . De Sousa-Coelho, Ana Luísa; Teotónio Fernandes, Mónica Alexandra; Estêvão, Maria Dulce da Mota Antunes de Oliveira ; Braz, Luis; Nascimento, TâniaThe event “Poster Sunset Session” began in 2017 at the School of Health of the University of Algarve (ESSUAlg), bringing the premise that scientific knowledge depends on research and critical analysis and that the exchange of ideas and information is an essential part of the continuous development process. This event was conceptualized and prepared by professors of the Pharmacy Department at ESSUAlg. The idea of “sunset” was based on the beautiful view over Ria Formosa (Faro, Portugal) that the previous building of ESSUAlg offered at dusk.

- The volunteer functions inventory (VFI): adaptation and psychometric properties among a portuguese sample of volunteersPublication . Martins, Cátia; Silva, José Tomás da; Neves de Jesus, Saúl; Ribeiro, Conceição; Estêvão, Maria Dulce da Mota Antunes de Oliveira ; Baptista, Ricardo; Carmo, Cláudia; Brás, Marta; Santos, Rita; Nunes, CristinaThe Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) is an instrument widely used to assess volunteers’ motivation based on the Functionalist Model of Omoto and Snyder. It assesses six factors that reflect several motivational functions. The VFI has been translated into various languages and validated in different cultural contexts, but some studies have reported different factor structures (e.g., five or four factors). In the Portuguese context, previous studies have also shown inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the VFI for Portuguese volunteers, testing several alternative models (nine models) using confirmatory factor analysis. The sample comprised 468 volunteers (76.3% women), aged from 13 to 81 years (M = 36.66, SD = 14.93). The results support the original interrelated six-factor model as the best-fitting one. The VFI showed good internal consistency and convergent validity. Significant correlations were found between the VFI factors, organizational commitment, and volunteers’ satisfaction. Overall, the six-factor VFI is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the motivational functions of Portuguese volunteers, with implications for practice and research in the volunteering field.
- Skeletal maturity in adolescence: evaluating bone development and age metricsPublication . Pinheiro, João; Ribeiro, Luís; Teixeira, Diana; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel JoãoBackground/Objectives: Bone maturation and development are crucial for growth and development, especially in children and adolescents; however, some qualitative methods, such as Greulich & Pyle, do not provide accurate data. Our aim is to verify whether skeletal age (SA) can predict and correlate with bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition (BC). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 115 male adolescents (ages 12.1-15.8 years). Skeletal age was assessed using the Tanner-Whitehouse 3 (TW3) method, while BMC, BMD, and BC were measured using full-body DXA. Anthropometric data, including height and body mass, were also recorded. Statistical analysis included descriptive methods and bivariate correlation coefficients. Results: SA was significantly correlated with stature (r = 0.598, p = 0.001) and body mass (r = 0.517, p = 0.001), showing a stronger association than chronological age (CA) for these variables. Body composition variables, including lean mass (LM) (r = 0.521, p = 0.001) and fat tissue (FT) (r = 0.522, p = 0.001), also showed a stronger correlation with SA than CA. However, associations between SA and bone parameters were weaker: BMC (r = 0.103, p = 0.275) and BMD (r = 0.161, p = 0.086) did not reach statistical significance. When stratified by SA/CA tertiles, individuals in the highest tertile exhibited slightly greater BMC (1439 +/- 108.32 g) and BMD (1.028 +/- 0.127 g/cm2), though without a significant effect. These findings suggest a dynamic but complex relationship between skeletal age and bone development. Conclusions: SA demonstrates a stronger association with anthropometric and body composition variables than CA, highlighting its potential as a predictor of growth used in conjunction with LM and FM. However, its relationship with BMD and BMC remains inconclusive, warranting further longitudinal research, considering limitations regarding nutritional intake.
