- Editorial: (un)healthy lifestyles, aging, and type 2 diabetesPublication . Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Fernanda M. Silva; Teixeira, Ana M.Recent estimates from the IDF Diabetes Atlas indicate that diabetes affects 589 million adults worldwide in 2024, with type 2 diabetes (T2D) accounting for more than 90% of cases (International Diabetes Federation, 2025). This number is projected to reach 853 million by 2050. Age is an important risk factor for T2D, with estimates indicating that one in four adults with the disease (158 million) are over 65 years old. Poor lifestyle factors, such as lack of exercise, sedentary behavior, and poor diet, are important underlying factors in the development of obesity and insulin resistance, leading to T2D and cardiovascular disease (Lu et al., 2024; Bowden Davies et al., 2018). On the other hand, effective interventions, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, have been recommended to improve glucose metabolism in both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals (Silva et al., 2024; Syeda et al., 2023; Kim and Kwon, 2024). In addition to engaging in regular exercise, studies have demonstrated the benefits of interrupting sitting time with regular bouts of movement (Syeda et al., 2023). Given the high prevalence of T2D, mainly in the middle-aged and elderly population, it is important to investigate the impact of (un)healthy lifestyles on metabolic markers and to create a set of strategies to prevent or control T2D and its related complications. This Research Topic, Editorial: (Un)healthy lifestyles, Aging, and Type 2 Diabetes, addresses these questions through nine complementary contributions.
- Innovation and competitiveness in the territorial brand of the Algarve: a comparative analysis of its social media communication and web contentPublication . Cristòfol, Francisco J.; Berraquero-Rodríguez, Diego; Zamarreño-Aramendia, Gorka; Alves, PauloIn an increasingly competitive global tourism context, territorial branding plays a key role in enhancing the visibility, identity, and resilience of regions. This study focuses on the Algarve, a region in southern Portugal, and investigates how innovation and competitiveness are reflected in its digital communication strategy. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines the quantitative analysis of 689 social media posts published in 2024 on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube with the qualitative content analysis of 38 documents and the official website of Algarve. The findings reveal a coherent and visually appealing brand narrative centred on the coastal identity of the Algarve, complemented by content related to nature, gastronomy, and cultural heritage. Instagram stands out as the most engaging platform, particularly when posts adopt a participatory tone, emotional storytelling, and references to specific locations. However, only 6.4% of the content surpassed the 1% engagement threshold, suggesting limited audience connection. The website presents a broader thematic range but under-represents intangible heritage and local products. The Algarve brand successfully projects an aspirational image based on landscape and leisure but would benefit from greater content diversification, enhanced stakeholder integration, and expanded narrative strategies to strengthen digital engagement and destination competitiveness.
- La alfabetización mediática como nuevo ámbito de conocimiento científicoPublication . Aguaded, Ignacio; Borges, GabrielaLa alfabetización mediática ha adquirido en los últimos tiempos una emergente presencia en los ámbitos académicos y científicos. Sin duda, la importancia de la comunicación, los medios, las redes sociales y todos los dispositivos de interacción y comunicación han ganado en las dos últimas décadas un papel estelar en esta sociedad que para muchos es ya la “sociedad de las pantallas”, de la información, de las fake news al mismo tiempo, del espectáculo digital y del conocimiento global, de la gamificación y de hipnosis colectiva. Todo lo más excelso del ser humano y lo más ínfimo tienen cabida, y al mismo tiempo, en la galería mediática que simboliza mejor que nadie el teléfono móvil, el “celular”.
- The building of learning epiphanies in Europe: The influential power of soft law mechanisms in contemporary adult education governancePublication . Barros, RosannaAdopting elements of Global Education Policy and Global Governance theories, our study aims to uncover facets of the influential power embedded in European soft law mechanisms at use in the cross-loading type of Europeanisation, and its role in setting Member States' agenda for contemporary adult education, while establishing its legitimacy. Using a qualitative mode of inquiring, our fieldwork was based on document analysis and an interview. Approaching the object through the political sociology of public action, the research question seeks the linkages between the European Years Initiative, particularly the 2023-2024 European Year of Skills, and the role of expert working groups in spreading a 'policy imaginary' for the building of the European Education Area (EEA) as a learning epiphany. Results reveal aspects of the backstage 'ways of doing things' in the context of multiscale educational governance. A light was shed in the actual processes of 'policy transfer' through global mechanisms based on policy instruments, such as National Coordinators Networks for mutual learning, and in its (over) valorisation of best practices (e.g. coordination practices and dissemination practices). Results also show that the role of Adult Learning in the EEA is currently envisaged as a crucial issue to keep the European way of living, to upskill and reskill, thus adapting workers to new emerging needs, and to improve competitiveness in the global arena.
- The influence of physical activity on sleep quality in people living with HIV: a scoping reviewPublication . Cordeiro, Jéssica Fernanda Correa; Anjos, Jeferson Roberto Collevatti dos; Bohn, Lucimere; Bilhadori, Joana; Moraes, Chimenny Auluã Lascas Cardoso de; Andaki, Allyne; Mendes, Edmar Lacerda; Mota, Jorge; Correia, Igor Massari; Santos, André Pereira dos; Machado, Dalmo Roberto LopesObjective: To map the evidence on the effects of physical activity on sleep quality in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). Methods: A scoping review was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO Sport Discus/ CINAHL, and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Additionally, Google Scholar and OpenGrey servers were checked. There were no language or publication year restrictions for the search. Primary studies that evaluated the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality in PLHIV were included. Two researchers performed the analysis and selection of studies independently, following established criteria. Results: Nine studies were included, covering experimental, cross-sectional, and cohort studies. The results suggest that physical activity is associated with reduced sleep latency, longer sleep duration, and overall improvements in sleep efficiency and subjective perception of sleep quality. These results indicate that exercise-based interventions can be incorporated as complementary strategies to improve sleep in this population. However, methodological variability limits the generalization of the results. Future studies should focus on longitudinal designs and standardized assessment methods. Conclusion: Adequate physical activity levels appear to positively influence sleep quality in PLHIV.
- Uma cidade portuguesa no coração do BrasilPublication . Baptista Gil, Francisco; Sousa, Fábio d'Abadia deNeste texto, analisamos as principais semelhanças entre a arquitetura barroca da Cidade de Goiás (fundada em 1727, pelo bandeirante paulista Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva) e a arquitetura portuguesa. A cidade é o caso mais emblemáticos de preservação de construções do período colonial português no Centro-Oeste brasileiro, o que permite, claramente, identificar vários elementos arquitetónicos que são muito parecidos com os das edificações mais antigas encontradas em Portugal, principalmente na região sul de Portugal.
- Effects of combined aerobic-resistance training on health-related quality of life and stress in sedentary adultsPublication . Fernanda M. Silva; Ferreira, José P.; Teixeira, Ana M.; Massart, Alain; Duarte-Mendes, PedroIntroduction: Poor quality of life and psychological stress have been associated with worse clinical outcomes, including anxiety and depression disorders, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and premature mortality. Evidence suggested that physically active adults were more likely to report better quality of life and increased capacity to deal with stress, compared to their sedentary peers. This study examines the effects of 16 weeks of combined aerobic and resistance exercise training on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and stress levels in sedentary adults. Methods: This study involved previously sedentary middle-aged workers (n = 36), randomized, and allocated into control (n = 18) and exercise (n = 18) groups. The exercise group performed 16 weeks of combined exercise training for 75 min, three times/week. The HRQoL was assessed using the SF-36 survey and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Stress levels were assessed subjectively using the Perceived Stress Scale and objectively by the salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase concentrations. Intra- and inter-group analysis were performed using a mixed ANOVA or Friedman’s test. Results: In relation to SF-36 results, a significant improvement in the mental component summary (p = 0.047, Kendall’s W = 0.170 (small effect)) and social functioning subdomain (p = 0.040, Kendall’s W = 0.179 (small effect)) was found for the exercise group after the intervention. A significant difference between groups was found in mean differences (Δ) in the mental health subdomain, with superiority in the exercise group (exercise group, Δ = 7.50 vs. control group, Δ = −5.00; p = 0.006). After 16 weeks of follow-up, the exercise group perceived reduced stress levels compared to the control group (exercise group, Δ = −3.67 points vs. control group, Δ = 0.94 points; p > 0.05); although not significant, this result is clinically relevant. The exercise program had no significant effect on salivary stress biomarkers. Discussion: The present study’s findings may have important clinical implications because they show that middle-aged sedentary workers are likely to benefit from adopting a regular combined exercise training regimen to promote better HRQoL (i.e., mental health component) and wellbeing.
- Physical training protocols for improving dyspnea and fatigue in long COVID: a systematic review with meta-analysisPublication . Mazzonetto, Lisa Fernanda; Cordeiro, Jéssica Fernanda Correa; Correia, Igor Massari; Oliveira, Alcivandro de Sousa; Moraes, Chimenny; Brilhadori, Joana; Gomide, Eurípedes Barsanulfo Gonçalves; Kudlacek, Michal; Machado, Dalmo Roberto Lopes; Anjos, Jeferson Roberto Collevatti dos; Santos, André Pereira dosObjective: This study aimed to evaluate physical training protocols for alleviating long COVID symptoms, especially dyspnea and fatigue, through a systematic review with meta-analysis. Method: Data were collected from EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and grey literature (Google Scholar, medRxiv). Studies evaluating dyspnea and/or fatigue before and after physical rehabilitation, using validated questionnaires, were included. Studies lacking pre- and post-assessments or physical training were excluded. Two reviewers independently extracted data on intervention type, duration, frequency, intensity, and assessment methods for dyspnea and fatigue. Bias risk was evaluated using the Cochrane tool. Results: Combined methods, such as respiratory muscle training with strength and aerobic exercise, were common for long COVID symptoms. Aerobic exercise notably improved dyspnea and/or fatigue. Among 25 studies, four had a low risk of bias. Meta-analysis of two studies found no significant reduction in fatigue. Conclusion: Combined training methods, particularly aerobic exercise, alleviate dyspnea and fatigue in long COVID. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.
- "Quem se importa? Vozes de adolescentes sobre igualdade de género em cinco países europeus"Publication . Coimbra Vieira, Cristina Maria; Costa, Cristina; Charoudi, Maria; Brie, Laura; Sezgin, Koksal; Medvešek, TjašaApesar da longa lista de recomendações políticas internacionais destinadas a erradicar todas as formas de discriminação com base no sexo e no género, cada país europeu continua a enfrentar diferentes desafios internos. Envolver as gerações mais jovens na análise de problemas reais, através de iniciativas na comunidade, e respeitar uma abordagem escolar holística têm sido estratégias eficazes para introduzir as questões de género na educação formal. Este foi o objetivo do projeto Erasmus+ «Igualdade em Ação» (2019- 2022), que envolveu cinco países europeus. O artigo apresenta as perceções de 114 estudantes com idades entre os 14 e os 18 anos de Portugal, Grécia, Roménia, Turquia e Eslovénia sobre as cinco questões mais importantes em matéria de igualdade de género que continuam por resolver nos seus países, bem como as propostas que sugerem para as solucionar. No final das atividades em cada escola e do intercâmbio entre as turmas dos diferentes países, crianças e jovens preencheram um questionário aberto online, onde revelaram ter tomado consciência sobre diversas áreas da vida pessoal e coletiva, em que existem desigualdades entre mulheres e homens resultantes de uma certa ordem social, que pode ser corrigida. As gerações mais jovens são capazes, de facto, de participar na construção de uma sociedade melhor, sendo críticas e atentas a si próprias e aos outros.
