- Autoavaliação e avaliação pelos pares: relato de prática pedagógica no processo de ensino aprendizagem PBL na licenciatura em Terapia Ocupacional da ESS IPPPublication . Miranda, Leonor G.; Faias, Joaquim; Marques, António; Coelho, Tiago; Rocha, Nuno; Portugal, Paula; Trigueiro, Maria João; Sousa, Helena; Fernandes, Ângela; Silva, VitorNos modelos de ensino aprendizagem, centrados no estudante tal como é o caso do Problem Based Learning (PBL) aplicado na licenciatura em Terapia Ocupacional (TO) da ESS, é preconizada a participação dos discentes no sistema de avaliação como meio de promover o próprio processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Assim, é entendida uma avaliação para a aprendizagem, onde existe uma oportunidade para uma conexão relevante entre a aprendizagem e a avaliação. A utilização de formas colaborativas de aprendizagem, tais como a autoavaliação e a avaliação pelos pares, possibilita ao professor compreender melhor como é que o estudante está a aprender e consequentemente ajustar o planeamento pedagógico. Por outro lado, proporciona ao estudante um maior foco na identificação de competências a desenvolver, promovendo a reflexão, a metacognição e uma participação e envolvimento pró-ativos. Neste relato, mais qualitativo, de prática pedagógica pretende-se partilhar/expressar o processo de autoavaliação e avaliação pelos pares que tem vindo a ser utilizado pelos estudantes de TO na ESS IPP e analisar as respetivas vantagens e desafios deste método, numa perspetiva tanto dos estudantes como dos tutores.
- B Corp versus ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications: Aligned, or alternative paths, towards sustainable development?Publication . Fonseca, Luís; Silva, Vitor; Sá, José Carlos; Lima, Vanda; Santos, Gilberto; Silva, RuiCorporate social responsibility (CSR) emerged to deliver sustainable economic, environmental, and social value to organization's extended stakeholders and society in general. This study investigates the similarities, differences, and relationships between B Corp, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications and is supported by a mixed research methodology and a sample of 701 B Corp companies certified between January 2020 and March 2021. The results indicate that ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certified B Corp companies have statistically higher scores for the Environment dimension but are inconclusive, or even contradictory, for the other BIA (B Impact Assessment) dimensions. Differences in size, activity sector and geographical location are discussed. It is shown that both B Corp, ISO 9001 and 14001 certified companies, guided by different missions and business models, contribute, at different levels, towards CSR and sustainable development goals.

- Expansão do papel dos técnicos de Farmácia na vacinaçãoPublication . Valeiro, Carolina; Silva, Vitor; Jesus, Ângelo; Joaquim, João; Balteiro, Jorge; Bezerra, Gilberto; Mealiff, Karen; Patterson, Diane; Matos, CristianoA necessidade de resposta global a emergências de saúde pública, como a pandemia de COVID-19, motivou iniciativas voltadas para a ampliação de acesso à vacinação. Comummente lideradas por farmacêuticos, essas ações vêm promovendo uma transformação no papel dos técnicos de farmácia, que gradualmente assumem funções mais ativas nos processos de imunização, inclusive como vacinadores. A expansão do papel dos técnicos de farmácia na vacinação já demonstrou potencial para melhorar o acesso da população às vacinas, otimizar os fluxos de trabalho nas farmácias e aumentar a satisfação profissional nos países onde esta prática foi implementada. Analisar o panorama da participação dos técnicos de farmácia na vacinação, com foco em sua formação, regulamentação, integração prática e impacto em saúde pública. Foram identificados 33 artigos e foi realizada uma análise temática para sintetizar os dados e foi realizada uma análise temática para sintetizar os dados. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, onde foram incluídos artigos científicos e documentos de políticas públicas. As fontes foram selecionadas a partir de buscas em bases de dados como PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar e Web of Science, utilizando as palavraschave “pharmacy technicians”, “vaccination” e “immunization”. Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram publicações que descrevessem o escopo de atuação, marcos legais, formação profissional e resultados em saúde relacionados à atuação dos técnicos na vacinação. Observou-se um impulso crescente para ampliar as atribuições dos técnicos de farmácia na imunização, especialmente nos Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e França, onde marcos legais permitem sua atuação como vacinadores sob condições definidas. Nestes contextos, estudos indicaram um aumento da satisfação profissional e da eficiência nos serviços de farmácia. Entre os fatores de sucesso estão a padronização da formação, o suporte legislativo e a integração dos técnicos às rotinas farmacêuticas. No entanto, persistem desafios como a falta de clareza nas definições de função, a confiança do público e a exigência de supervisão prática. Os técnicos de farmácia reúnem as condições para contribuírem significativamente em estratégias de vacinação. Para consolidar esse potencial, são necessárias políticas públicas específicas, formação qualificada e uma integração estratégica ao sistema de saúde.
- Pharmacy technicians in Europe: exploring the diversity in training, roles, and regulationPublication . Valeiro, Carolina; Silva, Vitor; Jesus, Ângelo; Joaquim, João; Matos Cristiano; Jesus, ÂngeloPharmacy technicians are increasingly recognized as essential healthcare professionals who contribute significantly to the delivery of pharmacy services. However, in Europe, the education, training, and regulatory frameworks governing pharmacy technicians vary substantially, influencing their scope of practice and integration within healthcare systems. This review maps the education, qualifications, and scope of practice of PTs across Europe, highlighting differences in professional titles and regulatory approaches. A review was conducted using publicly available data from the EU Regulated Professions Database and data collected from national organizations representing pharmacy technicians across Europe. Data on professional titles, qualification levels, regulations, program duration, and role delineation were extracted and summarized for comparison. Findings from 28 European countries revealed significant variability in pharmacy technician qualification levels (EQF 4–6), training duration (2–4.5 years), and national regulation. Regulation ranges from mandatory licensing with protected titles to a lack of regulation. The scope of practice differs, from basic dispensing and inventory tasks to broader clinical and technical responsibilities. The landscape of pharmacy technician education and regulation in Europe remains fragmented. Although PTs share core responsibilities, qualification levels, program durations, and regulatory protections vary widely, limiting professional identity, mobility, and workforce planning. Developing a shared European framework for education and professional recognition could facilitate professional mobility, reduce professional and skill disparities, and support safe, high-quality pharmacy services, ultimately optimizing the contribution of PTs to healthcare systems.
- Preprocessing of magnetic resonance images with multiple Sclerosis lesionsPublication . Pinto, Rafaela; Ventura, Sandra Rua; Silva, Vitor; Tavares, Manuel R.S.According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that multiple sclerosis (MS) affects around 2.5 million people worldwide and more than 5000 in Portugal. Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory, demyelinating, idiopathic, and often disabling central nervous system disease that affects the white matter diagnosed in young adults and predominantly affects womens. Multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disorder with unexplained causes and major repercussions in the lives of patients, causing the active search for answers by the researchers. Although the disease cannot be cured or prevented at this time, the available treatments only reduce its severity and delay its progression. In recent years, there has been a major development of image processing and analysis techniques in order to facilitate early diagnosis and suitable treatment. In general, images acquired by imaging devices and specialized techniques require transformations and enhancements to make them more suitable in order to extract as much information as desired with greater efficiency. Several authors, have described techniques of image preprocessing and segmentation of MS lesions, making evident the advantages of such computational tools. In this work, different preprocessing algorithms were applied in order to perform the brain extraction from resonance magnetic (RM) images for their easier further analysis.
- School-based practices of occupational therapists for an inclusive education in PortugalPublication . Silveira-Maia, Mónica; Alves, Silvia; Trigueiro, Maria João; Faias, Joaquim; Silva, VitorThe present study is part of a project that aims to develop a common framework defining general requirements – in terms of skills, contents and methods – to be considered on occupational therapists (OT)’ training for school-based practices aligned with the principles of inclusion. Although the concept of inclusive education has been, consensually, defined as the enablement of school contexts to support the access, participation and progression of all students - considering a wide spectrum of learning and functioning profiles -, the bridging of that conception and the field of practices has been subject to different understandings (e.g., Amor et al., 2019). Within school-based OT such praxeological divergences can be recognized in terms of the prominence assigned to in-class vs pull-out services; to child-direct vs consultation practices; and/or rehabilitation vs participation-centered approaches (e.g., Kaelin et al., 2019). In Portugal, there is around 90 Inclusive Resource Centers – IRC (DGE, 2019), which general goal is to mobilize specialized human resources – including the OT – to incorporate multidisciplinary teams at schools (along with regular and special education teachers, psychologists, principals, parents) promoting the process of inclusion of children in need of additional supports.
- Wii-based exercise program to improve physical fitness, motor proficiency and functional mobility in adults with Down syndromePublication . Silva, Vitor; Campos, C.; Sá, A.; Cavadas, M.; Pinto, J.; Simões, P.; Machado, S.; Murillo-Rodríguez, E.; Rocha, NunoPeople with Down syndrome (DS) usually display reduced physical fitness (aerobic capacity, muscle strength and abnormal body composition), motor proficiency impairments (balance and postural control) and physical functional limitations. Exergames can be an appealing alternative to enhance exercise engagement and compliance, whilst improving physical fitness and motor function. This study aims to analyse the effects of a Wii-based exercise program on physical fitness, functional mobility and motor proficiency of adults with DS.
