  • Technology, Sleep and Rest: what effects do they have on the brain?
    Publication . Borges, Daniel Filipe
    This lecture dealt with various topics relating to technology, neurobiology and the function of sleep as well as the characteristics of rest. In a pragmatic way, an original approach was taken by trying to answer several story-related questions, such as: - When we talk about technology, we inevitably think about access to and use of the internet. How can we measure the impact of technology today in Portugal and in the world? - Should we be concerned about the exponential growth in the use of social networks and e-commerce? - Can the reported statistical data be the ground truth, or is there a certain subjectivity that must be taken into account when analysing it? - Today there are smartwatches and a variety of technologies that allow us to track our sleep. There is a lot of talk about "quantity versus quality". Do we know how to interpret the results? - How can we tell if our sleep was effective without needing a detailed diagnosis? - Are we sufficiently informed about what sleep is and what it does to us? How would you explain in a simple way how this element, which is so important for our health, works? - We often wake up with the feeling that we haven’t rested enough and take it for granted – it’s the “new normal”. Is that dangerous? - Will the overuse of technology that is directly related to light exposure render the sleep cycle ineffective? - There is a lot of talk about blue light. It's often associated with sleep and falling asleep. What are the consequences of exposure to this light? - We are used to only talking about the negative effects of using technology on the brain. But are there also benefits? - The exponential growth in the use of technology can now even be seen in schools. Teenagers are the most affected by this technological phenomenon. What tips would be helpful to protect yourself from the surge we are experiencing? - How can this decline in emotional intelligence affect the critical minds of young people? - What does the future of sleep health look like?

  • Contributo para a validação da versão portuguesa da Comprehensive Coordination Scale (CCS) em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson
    Publication . Ferreira, Margarida Isabel Pinto Marques; Freitas, Marta Sofia Nicolau Gonçalves de; Silva, Maria Augusta Ferreira da
    O conhecimento de escalas de avaliação que possibilitem identificar as alterações de coordenação assume importância no processo de tomada de decisão, no contexto da reabilitação pelo que se torna fundamental a existência de um instrumento de medida clínico adaptado e validado para a sua avaliação. Analisar a fiabilidade inter e intra-obervador, da versão portuguesa da Comprehensive Coordination Scale. Estudo contributo para a validação da versão portuguesa da Comprehensive Coordination Scale. Para avaliação da fiabilidade, 3 indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson foram filmados durante a aplicação da versão portuguesa desta escala. Através da visualização do vídeo, por 12 fisioterapeutas, analisou-se fiabilidade inter e intra-observador (por teste-resteste, com um intervalo de 7 a 10 dias), utilizando-se o Intra Class Correlation e Standard Error of Measure. O nível de significância estatística foi fixado em α=0.05. Para a fiabilidade inter-observador Score Total da Comprehensive Coordination Scale obteve-se um (ICC=0,7; IC 95% [0,342-0,990], SEm=5,5 nos dois momentos). Para a fiabilidade intra-observador, a maioria dos observadores (ICC= 1,000, SEm=0,000). O processo de adaptação cultural e linguística da Comprehensive Coordination Scale foi terminado com sucesso, com valores de fiabilidade que sugerem que esta é uma medida fiável para avaliação da coordenação.
