- Families of young people who self-harm: a mixed-methods systematic review of their experiences and needsPublication . Cação-Dias, Beatriz; Rothes, Inês; Carmo, Cláudia; Nunes, Cristina; Brás, MartaBackground: Self-harm in young people is a pressing public health issue, with family support playing a crucial role in the young per son’s prognosis. Concurrently, the impact extends to families themselves, who must navigate caregiving responsibilities while also requiring support. Understanding these experiences is key to providing more effective assistance in their caregiving roles. Aim: With this mixed-methods systematic review we investigated the experiences, barriers, and needs of families of young people who self-harm. Method: Following PRISMA guidelines, a search was conducted within PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases in July 2024 and April 2025. Thirty-one studies were included in this review, and quality was assessed with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). A narrative synthesis was employed for the quantitative data, while qualitative data were analyzed with thematic synthesis. Results: The quantitative findings revealed two themes: (1) the repercussions of self-harm in the family and (2) family support needs. Qualitative analysis identified four themes: (1) parents’ emotional and psychological impact; (2) impact on parenting and the bond with the young person; (3) disruption of family dynamics; and (4) barriers to and pathways for family support. Conclusion: We discuss the implications of these findings, offering recommendations for future research and improvements in family support services to alleviate caregiver burden and foster supportive environments for recovery.
- From prediction to precision: leveraging LLMs for equitable and data-driven writing placement in developmental educationPublication . Da Corte, Miguel; Baptista, JorgeAccurate text classification and placement remain challenges in U.S. higher education, with traditional automated systems like Accuplacer functioning as “black-box” models with limited assessment transparency. This study evaluates Large Language Models (LLMs) as complementary placement tools by comparing their classification performance against a human-rated gold standard and Accuplacer. A 450-essay corpus was classified using Claude, Gemini, GPT-3.5-turbo, and GPT-4o across four prompting strategies: Zero-shot, Few-shot, Enhanced, and Enhanced+ (definitions with examples). Two classification approaches were tested: (i) a 1-step, 3 class classification task, distinguishing DevEd Level 1, DevEd Level 2, and College-level texts in one single run; and (ii) a 2-step classification task, first separating College vs. Non-College texts before further classifying Non-College texts into DevEd sublevels. The results show that structured prompt refinement improves the precision of LLMs’ classification, with Claude Enhanced + achieving 62.22% precision (1 step) and Gemini Enhanced + reaching 69.33% (2 step), both surpassing Accuplacer (58.22%). Gemini and Claude also demonstrated strong correlation with human ratings, with Claude achieving the highest Pearson scores (ρ = 0.75; 1-step, ρ = 0.73; 2-step) vs. Accuplacer (ρ = 0.67). While LLMs show promise for DevEd placement, their precision remains a work in progress, highlighting the need for further refinement and safeguards to ensure ethical and equitable placement.
- A propósito da palestra de outro dia – Notas sobre um cozinheiro-ator e do cinema como arte impressionistaPublication . de Queiroz Carneiro Dourado, Ana Patricia; Tavares, MirianEntrevista concedida pelo cineasta Leonardo Mouramateus e pelo ator Mauro Soares às investigadoras Patrícia Dourado e Mirian Tavares, a propósito da palestra “Materialidades da Palavra nos Processos de Criação”, realizada em 16 de maio de 2023, em Faro, no Algarve, no âmbito da disciplina de Materialidades Transversais da Criação, do Mestrado em Processos de Criação da Universidade do Algarve. A entrevista era um material de apoio das investigadoras, cujas perguntas foram enviadas depois da palestra como um meio de ter algum registro material de alguns pontos abordados pelos artistas, e às quais eles gentilmente responderam. As respostas, que foram importantes para o desenvolvimento de outros trabalhos das investigadoras, são aqui compartilhadas com a comunidade científica interessada no estudo dos arquivos da criação e das nuances do gesto ficcional, especialmente destes dois artistas – mas não apenas – em modo de convite para estudos futuros. Entre os pontos abordados estão a palavra enquanto matéria e ferramenta de criação; o laboratório-cozinha do ator-químico-cozinheiro Mauro Soares, algumas memórias de infância; a composição com o vazio; o cinema como arte impressionista para Leonardo Mouramateus, possibilidades para uma ficção viva e o ator como ser diante das coisas.
- Toward consistency in writing proficiency assessment: mitigating classification variability in developmental educationPublication . Da Corte, Miguel; Baptista, JorgeThis study investigates the adequacy of Machine Learning (ML)-based systems, specifically ACCUPLACER, compared to human rater classifications within U.S. Developmental Education. A corpus of 100 essays was assessed by human raters using 6 linguistic descriptors, with each essay receiving a skill-level classification. These classifications were compared to those automatically generated by ACCUPLACER. Disagreements among raters were analyzed and resolved, producing a gold standard used as a benchmark for modeling ACCUPLACER’S classification task. A comparison of skill levels assigned by ACCUPLACER and humans revealed a “weak” Pearson correlation (ρ = 0.22), indicating a significant misplacement rate and raising important pedagogical and institutional concerns. Several ML algorithms were tested to replicate ACCUPLACER’S classification approach. Using the Chi-square (χ2) method to rank the most predictive linguistic descriptors, Na¨ıve Bayes achieved 81.1% accuracy with the top-four ranked features. These findings emphasize the importance of refining descriptors and incorporating human input into the training of automated ML systems. Additionally, the gold standard developed for the 6 linguistic descriptors and overall skill levels can be used to (i) assess and classify students’ English (L1) writing proficiency more holistically and equitably; (ii) support future ML modeling tasks; and (iii) enhance both student outcomes and higher education efficiency.
- Refining english writing proficiency assessment and placement in developmental education using NLP tools and machine learningPublication . Da Corte, Miguel; Baptista, JorgeThis study investigates the enhancement of English writing proficiency assessment and placement for Developmental Education (DevEd) within U.S. colleges using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML). Existing automated placement tools, such as ACCUPLACER, often lack transparency and struggle to identify nuanced linguistic features necessary for accurate skill-level classification. By integrating human-annotated linguistic features, this study aims to contribute to equitable and transparent placement systems that better address students’ academic needs, reducing misplacements and their associated costs. For this study, a 300-essay corpus was compiled and manually annotated with a refined set of 11 DevEdspecific (DES) features, alongside 328 linguistic features automatically extracted from CTAP and 106 via COH-METRIX. Supervised ML algorithms were used to compare ACCUPLACER-generated classifications with human ratings, assessing classification accuracy and identifying predictive features. This analysis revealed gaps in ACCUPLACER’s classification capabilities. Experimental results showed that models incorporating DES features improved classification accuracy, with Na¨ıve Bayes (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) achieving scores up to 80%. The refined features presented and methodology offer actionable insights for faculty and institutions, potentially contributing to more effective DevEd course placements and targeted instructional interventions.
- Estudos de validação do emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ) com pais portuguesesPublication . Mourão, Susana; Pires, Mónica TaveiraConhecer as diferentes estratégias de regulação emocional adotadas pelos pais torna-se muito relevante, pois a sua maior adequação associa-se a práticas parentais mais responsivas e melhor ajustamento psicossocial dos filhos, incluindo uma gestão mais adaptativa das suas próprias emoções. Este estudo propõe-se verificar evidências da validade do Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross & John, 2003) numa amostra heterogénea de 380 pais portugueses, casados/unidos de facto e separados/divorciados. As análises fatoriais confirmatórias realizadas comprovam um bom ajustamento dos dados à estrutura bidimensional proposta, na amostra total e subgrupos de pais. Também se verificaram valores de consistência interna adequados em ambos os fatores. O ERQ discrimina os pais portugueses em função de variáveis sociodemográficas e da sua coparentalidade. Como esperado, uma melhor regulação emocional prediz uma parentalidade mais positiva e vice-versa. Acumulam-se evidências da validade do ERQ para avaliação de diferentes estratégias de regulação emocional na população portuguesa.
- Innovative behavior of family farmers in Brazil in the face of innovations in the agricultural sectorPublication . Lopes, Luis Felipe Dias; Balconi, Silvana Bortoluzzi; Flores, Raquel Dalvit; Moreira, Martiele Gonçalves; Silva, Deoclécio Junior Cardoso da; Oliveira, Rayssa Cleide de; Pegoraro, Daniela; Moura, Gilnei Luiz de; Baggio, Daniel Knebel; Fabricio, Adriane; Vieira dos Santos, JoanaInnovation in family farming plays a critical role in regional economic and social development by introducing new products, technologies, processes, and attitudes. This article aims to evaluate the innovative behaviors of family farmers in southern Brazil concerning agricultural sector innovations. We conducted a quantitative survey of 442 family farmers, employing partial least squares structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis as our analytic methods. Our results reveal both direct and indirect relationships among the dimensions of the innovative behavior scale, tailored to family farming, and the moderating role of organic production on the model. Comparative analysis showed no significant difference in the intensity of the dimensions between organic producers and non-producers. This study offers valuable insights into innovative behavior in family farming, which could inform strategic planning and more effectively direct public policies to support family farmers, ultimately leading to technological advancement and innovation within the sector.
- The role of working memory as a moderator of implicit associations in young adults’ alcohol usePublication . Severino, Ana; Jiménez-Ros, Antonia María; Brás, Marta; Carmo, Cláudia; Ferreira, Laura Inês; Janeiro, LuísBackground: Alcohol use is significantly accentuated in young adults, making it important to explore the mechanisms underlying consumption. According to the dual process model, implicit associations have a significant influence on alcohol consumption. Literature has been shown that working memory can moderate the effect of implicit associations on alcohol use and its consequences on hazardous drinkers but conclusions about subjects with other drinking patterns are contradictory. Objective: This study aimed to assess the moderating role of working memory on the relationship between implicit associations and alcohol use and its consequences in a sample with a low-risk drinking pattern. Methods: Sixty-five young adults aged between 18 and 25 years were included. Participants answered questions about measures of consumption pattern, alcohol-related consequences, implicit alcoholidentity associations and working memory. Results: Evidence was found about the moderating role of working memory; in individuals with lower working memory there is a stronger link between alcohol-related implicit associations and alcohol use and its consequences. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the crucial role of working memory across different levels of consumption, allowing us to outline efforts that may prevent the evolution to more severe consumption patterns.
- Emotion regulation, resilience, and mental health: a mediation study with university students in the pandemic contextPublication . Brites, Rute; Brandão, Tânia; Hipólito, João; Jiménez-Ros, Antonia María; Nunes, OdeteThe COVID‐19 pandemic had a huge impact on people's lives due to the fear of getting infected and having the disease, as well as the necessary prevention and containment measures. University students were one of the most affected groups, as they were forced to cope with significant life changes. However, not all displayed symptoms of psychological distress, which means that internal resources such as emotional regulation and resilience may have acted as protective variables. This cross‐sectional study aimed to examine the extent to which the relationship between emotion regulation and stress, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms was mediated by resilience in a sample of university students. Results showed that emotion regulation strategies were positively associated with lower mental health. Some resilience dimensions mediated these relationships, with perception‐of‐self mediating all associations. Planned future mediated the association between emotion regulation and depression, family cohesion mediated the relation between emotion regulation and stress, and social resources mediated the association of cognitive reappraisal with anxiety and PTSD by suppressing the direct positive relationship. These results highlight the relevance of resilience as a key resource in coping effectively with the uncertainties, and changes that arise during stressful periods such as a pandemic.
- Les rondalles que l’arxiduc no va publicarPublication . Correia, PauloÉ sobejamente conhecido, sobretudo entre os folcloristas (mas que também é sentido pela gente comum) que a milenar literatura de tradição oral entrou em decadência por ter perdido a sua função de entreter e educar os povos nas sociedades industriais ou pós-industriais. As primeiras recolhas de literatura oral aconteceram no século xix por ação do ideário do Romantismo, onde se considerava que quem representava o “espírito” das várias nações era o “povo” e suas tradições, sobretudo as de transmissão oral. Os dois primeiros países a interessar-se por essa tradição armazenada na memória de indivíduos pertencentes a uma população maioritariamente rural, foram a Alemanha e a Grã-Bretanha. Simultaneamente, foram também estes países que começaram mais cedo a sua Revolução Industrial, com consequências trágicas para as sociedades campesinas. Com plena consciência da rápida desintegração das condições que permitiram a este conhecimento memorial ser transmitido oralmente através das gerações, e verificando no terreno que a cada década que passasse era cada vez mais difícil encontrar testemunhos válidos do mesmo, lançaram o alarme: é preciso salvar o que ainda é possível salvar, antes do seu desaparecimento total, registrando essas tradições através da escrita em suportes duradouros, como os livros.
