- IntroduçãoPublication . Anica, AuríziaA II Conferência Internacional Envelhecimento Ativo e Educação (IICIEAE) realizada no âmbito das comemorações do 40º Aniversário da Universidade do Algarve, em setembro de 2019, constituiu um marco no percurso de mais de uma década de ensino e investigação da Gerontologia Social nesta instituição. Pretendeu-se destacar o contributo da Educação na promoção de modos mais positivos de envelhecer, desiderato concebível no contexto da construção de uma sociedade mais democrática, em que as políticas e as práticas de inclusão são chamadas a dar resposta a aspetos específicos relacionados com a transformação demográfica e social contemporânea. A proposta consistiu, em primeiro lugar, na discussão do conceito de envelhecimento ativo e de outros conceitos correlacionados, num esforço de síntese e reflexão teórica e crítica atualizada. Em segundo lugar, propôs-se a análise de importantes dimensões - sociais, individuais, institucionais e culturais - implicadas no processo de envelhecimento humano, a partir de estudos empíricos inéditos. Em terceiro lugar, colocou-se o foco no papel da educação na construção de uma sociedade mais equilibrada e amiga das pessoas em processo de envelhecimento.

- Memórias musicais em pessoas idosas. Estudo de casoPublication . Caro, Cátia; Anica, AuríziaMusic is strongly intertwined with memory and these are related to the cognitive and perceptual operations of brain mechanisms. These musical memories, filled with emotional and affective aspects, influence the way of life. The research challenge is to study this questions in the senior person: "Witch are the musical memories in the life course of the elderly and what meanings do they assume?" This study focuses on the musical memories of people over 64 years’ old who attend the University of Algarve for the Elderly (UATI). The research paradigm of this study is predominantly qualitative. We applied the ethnographic method and a methodological strategy, that assumed an exploratory, descriptive and interpretative character. The techniques and instruments used for the data collection were: questionnaires, semi structured interview in video-recording and documentary analysis. For the statistical analysis we used the Excel® program. The phenomenological method of Max Van Manen was used in the interpretation of the interviews. The study included twenty-six participants, of whom twenty participated in the questionnaires and six in the interviews. The data collection took place during six months in the physical space of the UATI. The musical memories present different meanings according to the life course of the participants. Factors such as education, culture, traditions and personal experiences are decisive in this matter. Memories are marked positively or negatively, according to the life events to which the musical memories are associated. The data collection process acted as a cognitive-emotional stimulus for the participants, allowing them to recover memories and relive the past, which suggests the use of strategies based on the concrete knowledge of the musical memories of the participants in the cognitive and emotional activation programs and in music therapy for the elderly.
- Qualidade de vida dos idosos no concelho de AlcoutimPublication . Gomes, Sónia; Anica, Aurízia; Nave, FilipeAlcoutim is one of the oldest rural municipalities in Portugal. an investigation was carried out in order to answer the question of departure: Does ageing in the municipality of Alcoutim provide good quality of life for the elderly? We aimed to examine the reality of ageing in the municipality of Alcoutim, analyzing the quality of life perceived by the elderly and provided by social care networks. In the design of this descriptive and exploratory study, we opted for a mixed methodology. Through the method of purposive sampling of the population over 65 years old in the county, which corresponds to 44% of the total population, a sample of about 5% was selected, which means 76 people were surveyed. The instruments used were a sociodemographic questionnaire and the WHOQOL-BREF and data analysis was performed using the SPSS-IBM program25. The qualitative methodology was used in the semi-structured interviews, as well as in the analysis and interpretation of the latter, which were conducted with the municipal authorities of the municipality. From the analysis of the results, there was a statistically significant relationship between: the Quality of Life (QoL) of elderly people and their relationship with their neighbours; between the QoL and the environment; between the QoL and the ease of locomotion in the county; between QoL and participation in events; between QoS and existing health services. Based on the results of this study, we concluded that the perceptions of elderly people, as well as the perceptions of the municipal authorities, reveal that the ageing process in the Municipality of Alcoutim provides quality of life to its residents. This quality of life is positively associated to the variables: neighbour relations, environment, accessibility, social participation and health services.
