Published: November 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Postdischarge treatment of complicated pneumonia includes antibiotics administered intravenously via a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) or orally. Antibiotics administered via PICC, although effective, may result in serious complications. We compared the effectiveness and treatment-related complications of postdischarge antibiotics delivered by these 2 routes.

METHODS:

This multicenter retrospective cohort study included children ≥2 months and <18 years discharged with complicated pneumonia between 2009 and 2012. The main exposure was the route of postdischarge antibiotic administration, classified as PICC or oral. The primary outcome was treatment failure. Secondary outcomes included PICC complications, adverse drug reactions, other related revisits, and a composite of all 4 outcomes, termed “all related revisits.”

RESULTS:

Among 2123 children, 281 (13.2%) received antibiotics via PICC. Treatment failure rates were 3.2% among PICC and 2.6% among oral antibiotic recipients and were not significantly different between the groups in across-hospital-matched analysis (matched odds ratio [OR], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 2.94). PICC complications occurred in 7.1%. Adverse drug reactions occurred in 0.6% of children; PICC antibiotic recipients had greater odds of adverse drug reaction in across hospital matched analysis (matched OR, 19.1; 95% CI, 4.2 to 87.3). The high rate of PICC complications and differences in adverse drug reactions contributed to higher odds of the composite outcome of all related revisits among PICC antibiotic recipients (matched OR, 4.71; 95% CI, 2.97 to 7.46).

CONCLUSIONS:

Treatment failure rates between PICC and oral antibiotics did not differ. Children with complicated pneumonia should preferentially receive oral antibiotics at discharge when effective oral options are available.

Airy-based equilibrium mesh-free method for static limit analysis of plane problems
Authors: V. Le Canh , Ho Phuc L. H. , Nguyen Hoa T.
Published: November 2016

This paper presents a numerical procedure for lower bound limit analysis of plane problems governed by von Mises yield criterion. The stress fields are calculated based on the Airy function which is approximated using the moving least squares technique. With the use of the Airy-based equilibrium mesh-free method, equilibrium equations are ensured to be automatically satisfied a priori, and the size of the resulting optimization problem is reduced significantly. Various plane strain and plane stress with arbitrary geometries and boundary conditions are examined to illustrate the performance of the proposed procedure.

Particular expressions of upper and lower estimates for the macroscopic elastic bulk modulus of random cell tetragonal polycrystalline materials are derived and computed for a number of practical crystals. The cell-shape-unspecified bounds, based on minimum energy principles and generalized polarization trial fields, appear close to the simple bounds for specific spherical cell polycrystals
An analytic homogenization model in traction and bending for orthotropic composite plates with the type of double corrugated cardboard
Authors: Minh Duong Pham Tuong , Khoa Ngo Nhu
Published: November 2016

In this paper, an analytic homogenization model in traction and flexion for the double corrugated cardboard plates is presented. The proposed analytical homogenization model allows modelling the 3D double corrugated cardboard with a 2D homogenized plate. This model is essentially based on the theory of stratification and then improved by using the theory of sandwich. This model was validated by comparing the results of Abaqus-3D and H-2D model using "user's subroutine" "UGENS". The homogenization model can be used not only for corrugated cardboard plates, but also for naval and aeronautic composite structures
Improving clinical reasoning by transferring the control of the path and the branches of the virtual patient to trainees using a non-linear, non-branched model
Authors: Price David , O'Keefe Siobhán , Johnson Edward , Pung Jordan
Published: November 2016

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Non-linear, non-branched (NLNB) virtual patient (VP) models have no defined paths or branches and emulate the "real world" where health professionals evaluate and manage their patients contemporaneously. This model has not been evaluated in prior studies but has potential to increase trainee interactivity and clinical reasoning.We evaluated NLNB VPs engagement by third-year medical students. After reading an initial clinical vignette students used a single textbox with an autocomplete feature to find keywords and select associated actions needed to provide care for their virtual patients.As students found and selected actions their engagement varied significantly based on the content the author provided. This commitment of time indicated the students' interest in the author-provided content. Students used intrinsic motivation to gathered data and provide interventions. They used free text to add items to a problem list and the differential diagnosis. They were cognitively immersed.Sixty-four students engaged a mean of 2.69 NLNB VPs where actions were not categorized or listed. Students found actions to provide care for the virtual patient when well-defined paths or branches were absent. NLNB VPs transfer control of the path and decisions to the trainees thereby increasing interactivity and potentially promoting critical thinking.

Russian Proposals on the Polar Code: Contributing to Common Rules or Furthering State Interests?
Authors: Bognar Dorottya
Published: November 2016

The mandatory Polar Code was finally adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in May 2015. The present article examines the role and contribution of the Russian Federation in the decision-making process of the Polar Code through its proposals, in the form of submissions, statements, and oral interventions. The purpose of these proposals is investigated with respect to the safety and environmental protection goals of the IMO and Russian interests in the Arctic, by looking at the reasoning used by Russia in its proposals. The major issue areas represented in the Russian proposals include, among others, the role of coastal State legislation, environmental regulations, and icebreaker assistance; however, the majority of these do not contribute to the IMO’s goals of creating globally uniform standards for maritime safety and protecting the marine environment. The Russian proposals served State interests through misrepresentation and reference to Russia’s experience in Arctic shipping. While the latter frames Russia as a leading user of Arctic waters, the role that Russia played in the Polar Code negotiations indicates that Russia has more than shipping interests to protect in the Arctic.(Published: November 2016)Citation: D.

Applying Activity Theory in Multiagency Settings
Authors: Daniels H.
Published: November 2016

In this paper I explore the extent to which two approaches to the social formation of mind are compatible and may be used to enrich and extend each other. These are: Activity Theory (AT) as derived from the work of the early Russian psychologists, Vygotsky and Leontiev, and the work of the sociologist Basil Bernstein. The purpose is to show how Bernstein provides a language of description which allows Vygotsky’s account of social formation of mind to be extended and enhanced through an understanding of the sociological processes which form specific modalities of pedagogic practice and their specialized scientific concepts. The two approaches engage with a common theme namely the social shaping of consciousness, from different perspectives and yet as Bernstein acknowledges both develop many of their core assumptions from the work of Marx and the French school of early twentieth century sociology. The work of the Russian linguist is also be used to further nuance the argument applied in multiagency settings.
Critical Reflection on the Reception of Vygotsky’s Theory in the International Academic Communities
Authors: Dafermos M.
Published: November 2016

This paper is an attempt to analyze various types of the reception of Vygotsky’s theory in the international academic communities. The paper develops a critical analysis of three widespread theoretical frameworks of interpretation of Vygotsky’s theory: cognitivism, culturalism, cultural-historical activity theory. It is argues that fragmented readings of particular ideas of Vygotsky, without enough understanding of the theoretical programme in which these ideas have been included dominates in North-Atlantic research. The paper proposes the reconstruction of the theoretical programme of cultural-historical psychology in the social and scientific context of its formation.
Significance of Cultural-Historical Theory of Psychological Development of L.S. Vygotsky for the Development of Modern Models of Social Cognition and Psychotherapy
Authors: Kholmogorova A.B.
Published: November 2016

The article acknowledges the situation of methodical crisis in modern research of social cognition related to the domination of reductive approaches that ignore the uniqueness of human psyche. Heuristicity of concepts of cultural-historical theory of psychological development of L.S. Vygotsky, which serves to overcome the apparent inconsistencies is substantiated. Models of social cognition based on the principles of cultural-historical psychology are described, those being the model of social cognition within phylogenesis of M. Tomasello, and the model of social cognition within ontogenesis of C. Fernyhough. Current situation in the area of mental health is reviewed from the standpoint of cultural-historical psychology, its specifics reflected in the increased burden on reflexive functions, that is, skills lying within the sphere of social cognition is substantiated. Modern psychotherapeutic apparatus directed to compensate social cognition deficits due to various psychiatric disorders is reviewed. The assumption that adolescense is sensitive period for the development of higher forms of social cognition is made, and a summary of researches supporting this assertion is presented. Main contradictions of modern-day maturing are enunciated. To conclude the presented theoretical analysis, a comprehensive multiple-factor model of social cognition is presented based on concepts of cultural-historical theory of L.S. Vygotsky.
Culture as Self-Perception
Authors: Kudryavtsev V.T.
Published: November 2016

An attempt is made to operationalize the content of the “culture” concept in cultural-historical psychology. It is demonstrated that within its framework the culture appears to be a “social environment”, a system of social standards, rather than mediator of human freedom, as a way of self-perception of a man, which helps to reveal creative potential. According to the author, culture as self-perception, its genesis in this capacity, which results in the development of free man, is the basic idea of cultural-historical psychology. It is noted that culture, both historically and ontogenically, at least, in current historical settings, is initially created in personal form, only this enables it to acquire social significance. Culture does not only bring people together based on some formal characteristic, and within it people become significant for each other. The role of imagination in the formation of self-perception is discussed. An assumption on the availability of genetic relation between imagination and spontaneity is put forward. At that, special emphasis is placed on “experiments on consciousness”, including in the form of inversion, which are conducted by means of art.
Perezhivanie as a Phenomenon and a Concept: Questions on Clarification and Methodological Meditations
Authors: Veresov N.N.
Published: November 2016

This paper is an attempt to show possible ways to unpack the theoretical content of the concept of perezhivanie by clarifying the place and role of this concept within cultural-historical theory and examining the connections of this concept with other concepts, principles, and laws of the theory. There is an important distinction between the two meanings of perezhivanie presented in Vygotsky’s original texts — perezhivanie as a psychological phenomena/process which can be empirically observed and studied (P1) and perezhivanie as a concept, a theoretical tool for analysis of the process of development (P2). This distinction is an important step forward in developing the generative understanding of the concept of perezhivanie within the cultural-historical theoretical framework. Perezhivanie as a concept is not about a phenomenon how the particular child interprets, understands and relates to a certain situation. Perezhivanie as a concept is not about what the particular child experiences in a particular situation. Perezhivanie as a concept has its own theoretical content within the theory. Questions on clarification and methodological meditations are in line with Vygotsky’s ideas on perezhivanie as a concept, which relates to (1) the process of development; (2) the role on social environment and (3) the laws of development.
Vygotsky's Principle "One Step in Learning - One Hundred Steps In Development": From Idea To Practice
Authors: Zaretsky V.K.
Published: November 2016

The article reviews Lev Vygotsky’s published works to trace the evolution of his understanding of child development. The authors believe that his assumption that one step in learning may mean one hundred steps in development, is as important as the two other key postulates of the cultural-historical theory: the principle that learning precedes development and the concept of zone of proximal development. The authors provide a rationale for utilization of these assumptions in the practice of development-facilitating psychological and educational assistance. A mechanism of this learning-development relationship is hypothesized. The article outlines a multidimensional model of the zone of proximal development illustrating the above mechanism. This model is one of the conceptual tools of the Reflection and Activity Approach helping children overcome learning difficulties and promoting their development. Having given the account of how they proceeded “from the idea to the problem” and “from the idea to the mechanism”, the authors provide case studies showing how this mechanism allows working with learning difficulties to trigger simultaneous improvement in multiple developmental dimensions. The article reports on the experience of running special Summer Schools for children with learning difficulties, implementing the “Chess for General Development” Project, and assisting orphaned children with severe somatic conditions. A case study of a female college student displaying signs of the learned helplessness syndrome is presented. The authors infer that Vygotsky’s idea of a specific relationship between learning and development may be of fundamental theoretical and practical value, especially for working with children with special needs.
The Concept of Drama in Vygotsky’s Theory: Application in Research
Authors: Rubtsova O.V. , Daniels H.
Published: November 2016

The article focuses on some aspects of L.S. Vygotsky’s early works, which are interpreted as the under- lying basis of the cultural-historical theory and might be applied while conducting research in the framework of this scientific school. The concepts of “drama”, “pereghivanie” and “reflective communication” as well as their role in applying experimental-genetic method in research are analysed. Results of a research project “Drama and exclusion”, conducted in the UK in 2014—2015 on the basis of two arts-based organisations working with young people with various kinds of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, are discussed. A case-study with a group of children at risk of school exclusion is given as an example of applying a “dramatic event” as a cultural tool for reorganising the social situation of development.

Unity of Affect and Intellect in Socio-Dramatic Play
Authors: Elkoninova L.I.
Published: November 2016

The article presents the interpretation of the unity of affect and intellect (L.S. Vygotsky) as exemplified in a socio-dramatic play. Emotions (e.g. unwillingness to submit to the rule), and understanding of the reasons for the rules by a child are studied separately from each other, since their interconnection is implied, but not experimentally proven. This paper makes an attempt to “catch” the unity of affect and intellect as part of developmental psychology based on the idea of the connection of the semantic and technical aspect of the action (D.B. Elkonin et al.), of the intelligent emotions (A.V. Zaporozhets) and the act of development (B.D. Elkonin). It describes a qualitative shift in socio-dramatic play related to the cultural shaping of emotions; it shows the child’s feeling of its action in the play. It shows how the child’s steps in the playing space aimed at achieving the culmination of the story are related to the unity of affect and intellect.
The Children’s Playground in the Context of Cultural-Historical Psychology
Authors: Smirnova E.O. , Kotliar I.A. , Sokolova M.V. , Sheina E.G.
Published: November 2016

The article describes the possible application of the principles of cultural-historical approach and activity theory to the inspection of toys and play environments. A children’s playground is treated as cultural means or artifact created by adults for starting a child’s activity. In terms of cultural and historical psychology, psycho-pedagogical analysis of a playground is based on the identification of the play value level and the compliance with the objectives peculiar to the age. Analysis and design are based on the understanding of the playground as a single space, where each element has the potential for any children’s development activity — games, communication, experimentation, etc. The following criteria of psychological and pedagogical inspection are identified and well-grounded: the principle of orientation to age-related peculiarities, the principle of high play value, the principle of transparency of objects, the principle of supporting acceptable risk, the principle of taking account of visitors’ activity levels, invitation to dialogue — the principle of dialogueness. The use of these principles in the course of designing playgrounds is illustrated by examples. These show that the conceptual apparatus of cultural and historical psychology may be used not only to explain the mechanisms and forms of mental development, but also for the analysis of particular conditions of a child’s mental development and design of play environments.

Formas, processos e padrões na erosão por ravinamento: para um enquadramento teórico coerente
Authors: Bergonse Rafaello Bergonse , Reis Eusébio
Published: November 2016

Apesar de um vasto corpo de literatura, não há um enquadramento teórico coerente sobre a erosão por ravinamento. a sua variabilidade morfológica e processual não é compatível com as definições de ravina na literatura, nem com a noção prevalecente do ravinamento como um processo hídrico cujas fronteiras são arbitrariamente definidas entre canais de menor e maior dimensão. esta discrepância condiciona inevitavelmente as abordagens metodológicas de que o fenómeno é alvo, e portanto a objectividade dos resultados obtidos. O presente artigo assenta numa revisão extensa da literatura, com o fim de estabelecer uma comparação crítica entre as formas, processos e padrões de desenvolvimento descritos e o enquadramento conceptual dominante, e definir questões prioritárias de investigação. adicionalmente, é realizada uma revisão dos estudos dedicados em Portugal, até ao momento, a este processo morfogenético.

Revitalização urbana integrada em Montreal: lições da iniciativa de desenvolvimento local
Authors: Queirós Margarida
Published: November 2016

This paper reflects upon an integrated territorial initiative known as RUI (Integrated Urban Revitalization), which has been implemented in a number of Montreal neighbourhoods that have been particularly afflicted by poverty and social exclusion. In these areas, a series of Integrated Urban Revitalization pilot-projects have been implemented with a view to creating new development opportunities. The inter-sectoral RUI approach (health, education, crime prevention, housing, employment, transportation, environment...) advances governance, gives rise to a new generation of networks and partnerships and exposes structures to participative democracy. The RUI initiative also purports to contribute to rebuilding the identity and culture of disadvantaged people, strengthening territorial bonds (the neighbourhood as a place of belonging and social interaction) and reinforcing territorial cohesion. The  RUIincorporates a bottom-up logic and constitutes a stimulus to the social economy by reinforcing the networks and institutional capacity of Montreal’s society and economy, but the State cannot afford not to participate in the quest for a fairer and more sustainable urban development model. Some of the lessons from this experience can be usefully transferred and adapted to other territories subject to exclusion and poverty

Thermal extremes mortality risk assessment in urban areas
Authors: Canário Paulo
Published: November 2016

The impact of heat waves on mortality has been the subject of numerous studies and the focus of attention of various national and international governmental bodies. In the summer of 2003 alone, which was exceptionally hot, the number of deaths in 12 European countries increased by 70,000. The overall trend of warming will lead to an increase in frequency, duration and intensity of heat waves and to an increase in heat related mortality. The need to assess the risk of death due to extreme heat, at a detailed spatial scale, has determined the implementation of a research project based on a general model of risk for potentially destructive natural phenomena; the model uses the relationship between hazard and vulnerability and was designed primarily for urban areas. The major hazardous meteorological variables are those that determine the thermal complex (air temperature, radiative temperature, wind and humidity) and the variables related to air quality (mainly ozone and Particulate matter). Vulnerability takes into account the population sensitivity (at various spatial scales) and their exposure to thermal extremes.

Thus landscapes and sediments that are the product of present glaciation can give insight into processes that occurred during  pleistocene times. This study investigates the genesis of little ice age glacial landforms present in portage Glacier, South-central Alaska. The present day moraine morphology and sedimentology in portage Glacier valley reveals the presence of two types of till and moraines. The clast-rich sandy diamicton present on the 1852 moraine is interpreted to be a basal till indicating this feature is a push moraine representing an advance or a standstill position of portage Glacier in 1852. The moderately sorted gray sandy boulder gravel present on the 1900 and 1922 moraines is interpreted to be an ice-marginal deposit (ablation till) with a mixture of supraglacial and glaciofluvial sediments deposited by slumping and stream sorting processes. All of these features are interpreted to be ablation moraines representing glacier retreat and moraine building in 1900 and1922.

Sistemas litorais: dinânicas e ordenamento
Authors: Pereira Ana Ramos
Published: November 2016

This article presents, in written form, the lecture given by the author in 2006 as a prerequisite for becoming a Full Professor in the Department of Geography. It addresses a variety of issues that cut across the entire course for which a Syllabus was presented, while seeking to highlight the main aspects that reflect the fundamental orientation of that course. Four main topics are thus considered: the first, entitled The coastal areas: mobility versus fixedness, discusses the main concepts from a variety of perspectives; the second – The beach system: dynamics and monitoring – focuses on the beach system and its morphodynamics; the third, entitled Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in the European context, provides an overview of the status of coastal areas in Europe and the policy options adopted in this respect; while the fourth – ICMZ in Portugal – summarises the main policy options made in this country in this field, based on the results of the work undertaken by a team led by Prof. Veloso Gomes (of which the author was a member), which was the object of subsequent publication.

O desenvolvimento territorial para a avaliação de políticas públicas. Exemplo do assentamento de uma fazenda em Tocantins (Brasil)
Authors: Miranda José Carlos
Published: November 2016

O objetivo desta nota é discutir o desenvolvimento territorial como alternativa metodológica para a avaliação das políticas públicas que tiveram como palco o desmembramento de uma fazenda, de nome Coqueirinho, comprada pelo Governo do Estado, no município de Palmas/TO, na qual uma parte foi doada para a instalação de um assentamento de ocupação agrária, a partir de 1993. Esta apresentação faz parte de uma pesquisa sobre o sistema organizacional da produção agrícola, tendo como foco de observação a experiência vivida no meio destes trabalhadores rurais.Para elaboração deste texto utilizámos os dados das fontes citadas no decorrer da dissertação, bem como as informações levantadas pela pesquisa. Neste texto apresentamos as características gerais das políticas públicas da década de noventa até hoje, focalizando duas posições essencialmente diferentes uma da outra, que tiveram lugar em duas conjunturas igualmente diversas, tanto do ponto de vista econômico como político. Por ﬁm apresentamos alguns elementos metodológicos que, associados à discussão do tema do desenvolvimento territorial, poderão dar consistência aos argumentos apresentados.
Agenda 21 local: Auto-organização, cooperação e inteligência descentralizada
Authors: Queirós Margarida
Published: November 2016

O sucesso das Agendas 21 Locais poderá ser projectado a partir daanalogia com os estudos dos sistemas auto-organizados onde as trocas básicas deinformação e a dinâmica local das partes formam um todo. Essas interacções constituem uma forma particular de comunicação indirecta originando um mapa colectivo organizado. Para que o comportamento auto-organizado se difunda e aplique nassociedades humanas será necessário repensar o modelo de desenvolvimento à luz dadesconstrução dos sistemas de dominação hierárquica. Mais importante do que avan-çar com directivas, medidas e acções top-down, é desencadear mecanismos que desenvolvam a macro-inteligência e adaptatividade e produzam auto-organização e acçãoglobal. Tal como os insectos sociais (colónias de formigas), revelando a capacidadepara armazenar informação e reconhecendo padrões, as comunidades humanas locaiscontribuem decisivamente, através de interacções simples, para essa inteligência emergente de nível superior, capaz de mobilizar o desenvolvimento sustentável (DS). AsAgendas 21 Locais (A21L) são decerto o estímulo necessário
Planning procedures towards high climatic quality cities. Example referring to Lisbon
Authors: Alcoforado Maria João
Published: November 2016

The different stages of research on high climatic quality city are presented in this paper: acquisition of appropriate urban climate information, analysis of different urban climate features and selection of planning strategies (accordingly with the climate zone). Then, with the aid of a GIS, systematic guidelines for planning can be given. As a result, different types of benefits for city dwellers are to be expected (comfort, health, economic). Lisbon is presented as a case study. It is shown how the “translation” of the knowledge of Lisbon’s urban climate into simple guidelines for urban planning in order to mitigate the urban heat island, promote ventilation and increase air quality, was carried out. To this end, maps of the physical features of the city of Lisbon were drawn, synthesised into “urban homogeneous units” map. Climate guidelines are specified for each of the six groups of units (brought together according to urban morphology, topography and position in town.
Passado e presente dos recursos hídricos no Brasil
Authors: Ioris Antônio Augusto
Published: November 2016

Escassez hídrica, poluição dos rios e desiguais oportunidades deacesso à água são sintomas de um crescente antagonismo entre desenvolvimento económico e questões socioambientais no Brasil. Este progressivo afastamento entreeconomia e ambiente decorre de um processo mais amplo de acumulação de capitale inserção subordinada do país no mercado mundial. Reformas institucionais recentes vêm promovendo uma nova abordagem dos recursos hídricos através de instrumentos simuladores de mercado, como a cobrança pelo uso da água, para operacionalizar a gestão ambiental. Contudo, o novo modelo de gestão apenas reproduz amesma lógica de mercantilização da natureza que foi historicamente responsável porcriar uma situação de opressão política e degradação ambiental. Respostas efectivasaos problemas ambientais requerem mudanças nas relações de poder, no papel doEstado e na divisão internacional do trabalho

Authors: Ortiz António Gómez , Vieira Gonçalo
Published: November 2016

Se hace una revisión de la producción científica reciente por partede autores españoles y portugueses en temas de geomorfología periglaciar a partirde las publicaciones del grupo de trabajo IPA-España. Su valoración crítica permiteexplicar la evolución de este conocimiento disciplinar (ideas, conceptos, métodos,ámbitos y temas de estudio y grupos de investigación) en el contexto del progresoque la Geomorfología ha venido experimentando en ambos países. Acontecimientossignificativos en todo ello fueron la creación de la Sociedad Española de Geomorfología(SEG), en 1987; el Grupo Español IPA-España, en 1994, y el Grupo Portugués IPA--Portugal, en 2005, ambos inmersos en la International Permafrost Association
Social capital and migrants' political integration: the case study of capeverdean associations in the greater Lisbon area
Authors: Horta Ana Paula , Malheiros Jorge
Published: November 2016

This paper analyses the types of social capital present in theCapeverdean associational movement of the Greater Lisbon Area (GLA) and its relation to political involvement and mobilization. The notion of social capital («features of social organization such as networks, norms and social trust that facilitatecoordination and co-operation for mutual benefit» – Putnam, 1993: 26) is exploredin its two basic components – bonding (internal links of individuals and institutions)and bridging social capital (external connections, that also entail the long distancerelations with the other diaspora nuclei) –, following the research principles expressedin the work of Fennema and Tillie (2000, 2001).The research goals are achieved through interviews and questionnaires to themajor Capeverdean associations of Lisbon, Amadora and Oeiras, focusing on its organizational structure and on the density of their organizational network, that is theweb of inter and intra-organizational relations and transnational links that might beread as forms of bridging and bonding social capital. We also focussed on the political activities of organisations, looking at ethnic civic engagement and exploring theextent to which social trust in the form of social capital is converted into politicalinvolvement.Major results show that associations of Oeiras and Amadora are mainly grassroots based organisations that privilege neighbourhood-bonding ties, whereas Lisbon’sassociations assume a structural/”umbrella-like” role in the institutional Capeverdeanfabric. In addition, the density of institutional relations is much higher at the internal level (with other Capeverdean organisations) than at the external level. The exception concerns the relevance of the international links with other Capeverdean associations. Finally, the findings show that associations with higher social capital thatis with the densest network of organizational relations are also those that participatemore actively in political activities.
