description: É inegável que o avanço da Sociedade em Rede e a concomitante digitalização da sociedade fizeram do teletrabalho uma modalidade possível na gestão das pessoas. Contudo, foi com o fenómeno pandémico trazido pela Covid-19 e com as prolongadas temporadas de confinamento vividas nos diferentes cantos do mundo, que o teletrabalho ganhou um interesse renovado fruto da necessidade de se ensaiar uma nova reconversão da força de trabalho que minimizasse as consequências do isolamento imposto aos cidadãos. Numa altura em que, dos diferentes setores da sociedade, ecoam vozes que anunciam ventos de mudança assegurando-nos que o teletrabalho veio para ficar, a presente investigação pretende discutir os desafios do teletrabalho para a gestão das pessoas, com particular destaque para o papel que o Líder tem que assumir no processo de mobilizar e gerir equipas a distância.

Pandemic stressors and depressive symptoms : examining within- and between-person effects of neuroticism
Creators: name: Morstead, Talia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Experiencing stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as health-related concern, social isolation, occupational disruption, financial insecurity, and resource scarcity can adversely impact mental health; however, the extent of the impact varies greatly between individuals. In this study, we examined the role of neuroticism as an individual-level risk factor that exacerbates the association between pandemic stressors and depressive symptoms. With repeated assessments of pandemic stressors and depressive symptoms collected from 3,181 participants over the course of the pandemic, we used multilevel modeling to test if neuroticism moderated the association between pandemic stressors and depressive symptoms at both between- and within-person levels. At the between-person level, we found that participants who reported more pandemic stressors on average had higher levels of depressive symptoms and that this association was stronger among those high in neuroticism. At the within-person level, reporting more pandemic stressors relative to one’s average on any given occasion was also associated with heightened depressive symptoms and this effect was similarly exacerbated by neuroticism. The findings point to pandemic stressor exposure and neuroticism as risk factors for depressive symptoms and, in demonstrating their synergistic impact, may help identify individuals at greatest risk for adverse psychological responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 The overarching goal of ENVRI-FAIR is that all participating research infrastructures (RIs) will improve their FAIRness and become ready for connection of their data repositories and services to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Deliverable D9.1 has reported on the roadmap of the RIs in the marine subdomain towards improving their FAIRness. It presented the approach of using FAIR questionnaires (together with WP5) to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each RI and a first indicative set of activities to improve identified weaknesses or gaps. After formulation in Deliverable D9.2 of implementation plans for mitigating these gaps during the next phase of the ENVRI-FAIR project, the RIs from the marine subdomain have specified in Deliverable D9.3 the technical services and interfaces to be implemented at RI level and have undertaken the implementation. The RI vocabularies and erddap services were presented in Deliverable D9.4 and the operational list of FAIR services presented in Deliverable D9.5.
 The present Deliverable D9.8 is linked to Task 9.8 going from M24 to M48 and aiming to demonstrate the marine subdomain FAIRness. A first version of the ENVRI-FAIR Marine semantic Essential Ocean Variables (EOV) data broker was already presented in Deliverable D9.7, and this deliverable D9.8 presents the version 2 software, which includes new technologies for performance enhancement. This version 2 is now available on GitHub and preserved on Zenodo:

description: To translate Diabetes-39 quality of life scale (D-39) into Turkish, to accomplish a cross-cultural adaptation, to demonstrate validity and reliability of Turkish version (D-39-TR). A total of 214 patients with type 2 diabetes were included, with an average age of 52.59 ± 14.83, a female/male ratio of 51/49%. Internal consistency and test–retest reliability were assessed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. For structural validity, factor analysis was used. The SF-36 was used for convergent validity, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was used for differential validity. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was over 0.70 for all subscales of D-39-TR and it was 0.93 for whole D-39-TR. No problematic items were detected in the scale. The ICC for test–retest reliability was 0.91 (95% CI 0.91–0.94). The test–retest consistency for the total score was r = 0.94, p < 0.001. D-39-TR was explained by five factors. The ratio of explaining the total variance of these 5 factors was determined as 53.97%. SF-36 (r=−0.48, p < 0.001) and HbA1c values (r = 0.31, p < 0.001) were moderately correlated with total score of D-39-TR. A significant difference was found between QoL values of patients with poor and good glycemic control (p < 0.001). Turkish version of D-39 is a reliable and valid scale for measuring QoL in patients with type 2 diabetes.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe Turkish version of the Diabetes-39 (D-39) is a valid and reliable questionnaire and can be used in patients with type 2 diabetes.The Turkish version of the D-39 offers a useful tool for better identifying quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk for adverse outcomes.The Turkish version of the D-39 can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of attempts to increase quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Mechanisms by which beneficial Pseudomonas species suppress plant immunity and protect plants from pathogens
Creators: name: Liu, Yang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Plant roots associate with diverse microbial communities that include pathogens and commensals. Plants innate immune systems monitor microbiota by recognizing conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Despite containing identical MAMPs as pathogens, commensals persist in the rhizosphere indicating that they must suppress or evade host immunity. I found that rhizosphere acidification via gluconic acid biosynthesis is necessary for immunity suppression in an opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. However, a Pseudomonas simiae WCS417 ∆pqqF mutant can still suppress flg22-induced immunity, suggesting a distinct mechanism of host immunity suppression by WCS417. To identify mutants that were unable to suppress flg22-stimulated immunity, we performed a forward genetic screen in EMS mutagenized WCS417. We identified an ornithine carbamoyltransferase argF mutant that lost immunity suppression and rhizosphere acidification. Although argF is auxotrophic, it is required for host immunity suppression and rhizosphere acidification by preventing accumulation of ornithine, an alkaline precursor to arginine biosynthesis. This work shows that beneficial Pseudomonas suppress host immunity via rhizosphere acidification through two synergistic mechanisms, one through organic acid biosynthesis and the other by conversion of alkaline ornithine to amino acids. In addition to modulation of host immunity, commensals are known to protect plants from pathogens. Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 protects plants from a phylogenetically closely related opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas sp. N2C3 in the rhizosphere. To uncover mechanisms of protection, I used two collections of WCS365 biofilm formation transposon insertion mutants including 1) increased attachment mutants (iam) and 2) surface attachment defective (sad) mutants, which have increased and decreased biofilm formation respectively on abiotic surfaces. As bacteria must form a biofilm to successfully colonize their host, I tested whether these mutants failed to form biofilm in planta by testing whether they could protect against the N2C3 pathogen on plant roots. I found that only a subset of “iam sad” mutants lost protection against the N2C3 pathogen implying distinct mechanisms of biofilm formation in vitro versus in planta. All unprotective strains showed rhizosphere fitness defects suggesting that biofilm formation is necessary for bacterial colonization and protection. Collectively, my work enhances our understanding of how beneficial bacteria suppress host immunity and protect plants from pathogens.

description: Important properties have been studied using the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) in patients with stroke. However, whether the ARAT subtests constitute a Guttman scale (i.e., items hierarchically ordered according to difficulty) remains unclear. Guttman scales can define decision rules for skipping items in patients with low endurance. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the ARAT when applying decision rules for post-stroke hemiparetic patients. A retrospective, single-institution study was conducted between 2020 and 2021. Datasets of 30 patients with stroke-induced hemiparesis were collected from a previous study which employed the ARAT without decision rules, Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), Box and Block Test (BBT), and Motor Activity Log (MAL). The ARAT was rescored with decision rules for this study, and inter-rater reliability/agreement, parallel forms reliability, and construct validity were assessed. Parallel forms reliability (Spearman’s rho) was 0.99 (95% CI, 0.99–0.99) for both raters. The lower 95% CI limits of the sum and individual item scores in the reliability analysis exceeded the planned value (0.8). Construct validity values exceeded the planned value (0.8) for FMA, BBT, and MAL. Decision rules can be used to skip ARAT items when assessing upper extremity motor function in stroke patients.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe Action Research Arm Test with decision rules for skipping items was valid and reliable for measuring upper extremity motor function in hemiparetic patients after stroke.The decision rules may reduce the burden of both patients and evaluators by decreasing the number of Action Research Arm Test items to be administrated.

description: Fatigue is a major symptom of ABI. Greater fatigue is associated with cognitive impairment. Our aim was to systematically review, describe and analyse the literature on the extent of this relationship. Five databases were searched from inception. Studies were included where: participants had a defined clinical diagnosis of ABI which included TBI, stroke or subarachnoid haemorrhage; a fatigue measure was included; at least one objective cognitive measure was used. Three reviewers individually identified studies and determined quality using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-sectional Studies. Sixteen of the 412 identified studies, investigating the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and fatigue, comprising a total of 1,745 participants, were included. Quality ranged from fair to good. Meta-analysis found fatigue was significantly associated with an overall pattern of cognitive slowing on tasks of sustained attention. A narrative synthesis found weak associations with fatigue and information processing, attention, memory and executive function. Analysis found sustained attentional performance had stronger associations with fatigue after ABI. Whereas, weak associations were found between fatigue and information processing, attention and to some extent memory and executive function. More focused research on specific cognitive domains is needed to understand the mechanisms of fatigue. Cognitive dysfunction is associated with higher fatigue levels after stroke, traumatic brain injury or subarachnoid haemorrhage.Management of cognitive dysfunction may improve fatigue and participation in meaningful activities after stroke, traumatic brain injury or subarachnoid haemorrhage.Intervention strategies that reduce cognitive load during everyday activities (e.g., grading the burden on attentional resources), may potentially be effective in managing post-ABI fatigue.Agreement on core measures could facilitate integration of findings into clinical practice.

description: Os temas de coopetição e inovação cada vez mais despertam o interesse das organizações e são abordados em estudos teóricos e empíricos por pesquisadores, nomeadamente Ritala (2012); Velu (2016), e mesmo com o aumento dos estudos sobre esses temas, autores como Yami e Nemeh (2014) identificaram a necessidade de mais pesquisas sobre a relação de coopetição e inovação. O objetivo desta investigação é realizar uma revisão sistemática de literatura nas bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science sobre os tipos de estratégia de coopetição interogranizacional e intraorganizacional associada a inovação incremental e radical e seus impactos e principais características, para que se possa estabelecer as relações que mais prevalecem e identificar lacunas e possibilidades de pesquisas futuras. Os pesquisadores Shvindina (2019); Velu (2016) afirmam que a coopetição é definida pela cooperação e competição simultâneas entre duas ou mais empresas. A estratégia de coopetição e inovação podem estar ligadas por origens contrárias. De acordo com Navío-Marco et al. (2019), primeiramente, a organização pode estabelecer o uso da estratégia de coopetição e como consequência um de seus resultados ser o desenvolvimento da inovação. E a segunda origem ocorre quando o processo de pesquisa e desenvolvimento em inovação é apontado como essencial para o crescimento de diversas organizações, e entre as opções existentes, muitas optam pela estratégia de coopetição para alcançar o objetivo de potencializar ou até mesmo iniciar o processo de inovação. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura na base de dados Scopus. A pesquisa foi realizada no dia 6 de setembro de 2021, e teve como características a ausência de delimitação temporal, a escolha da opção título do artigo, resumo e palavras-chave e o termo utilizado para pesquisa foi: “coopetition strategy and innovation”, que gerou 94 documentos como resultado. Em seguida, foram analisados e mantidos apenas os artigos, excluindo os documentos restantes, o que totalizou em 70 artigos. [...]

description: This longitudinal case study describes the physical and occupational therapy interventions and recommendations for treatment of a person with bilateral transradial amputations during subacute rehabilitation, as there are currently few recommendations. A 53-year-old female with subacute bilateral transradial amputations received inpatient rehabilitation. Impairments include decreased balance, global weakness, and need for assistance with ADLs and transfers. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, a peer mentor, and a prosthetist collaborated. Interventions included task-specific and generalized strengthening, standing balance re-education, assistive device prescription, education using body-powered prostheses, home adaption recommendations, and activities of daily living practice. Patient progressed to independent functional mobility but required assist for activities of daily living and stairs negotiation due to limited caregiver support and poor prosthetic dexterity. She discharged to a skilled nursing facility. Rehabilitation of a person with bilateral transradial amputations requires clinicians experienced with prostheses; excellent interdisciplinary coordination; early discernment of the available social support system; task-specific strengthening and coordination exercises to prepare the patient for prostheses; significant task-practice with prostheses; and a working knowledge of home modifications and adaptive equipment. This article describes recommendations, successful interventions, and lessons learned for future therapists when rehabilitating someone with bilateral transradial amputations.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONBilateral transradial amputations (BTAs) are a life-altering, but rare condition, meaning that literature surrounding this population is sparse and that guidelines for rehabilitation are unclear.This article provides recommendations so that clinicians can be better informed when treating BTA patients in the subacute phase and more quickly progress patients toward functional independence and discharge to the community.

description: O presente estudo insere-se na área da Administração Pública (AP) e pretende aprofundar conhecimento no sentido de compreender a relação da Descrição e Análise de Funções (DAF) e do Perfil de Competências com as práticas de Gestão de Recursos Humanos, em organizações da Administração Pública Local e Central. Como objetivos específicos propomo-nos: caraterizar a DAF e o Perfil de Competências nas organizações estudadas; caraterizar as alterações à DAF resultantes de processos de atualização; Identificar a relação da DAF com o Regime de Vínculos, Carreiras e Remunerações, com os Procedimentos Concursais e com o SIADAP. Referencial Teórico - Nos últimos 20 anos a reforma administrativa em Portugal foi influencida pelo New Public Managment (NPM). Trata-se de uma Escola da Administração Pública que se baseia, grosso modo, na ideia da eficácia dos processos de gestão privada, concluindo que estes processos devem ser adotados pelo setor público. Este pressuposto traduziu-se na importação de modelos e conceitos da gestão privada para a gestão do Estado e da Administração Publica. A Gestão de Recursos Humanos na Administração Pública, também ela fortemente tributária do NPM, desenvolveu, a partir de 2008, com a Lei n.º 12-A/2008, de 27 de Fevereiro, um conjunto de medidas e de instrumentos que corporizam uma verdadeira revolucão nos modus operandi da AP. Uma das mudanças mais consideráveis consistiu da eliminação das 1716 carreiras existentes até então, com conteúdos funcionais especificos, substituindo-as por três carreiras gerais a saber: Técnico Superior, Assistente Técnico e Assistente Operacional, que passaram a apresentar conteúdos funcionais genéricos[...]

Purine catabolism as a modulator of macrophage activation
Creators: name: Starchuk, Lucas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Macrophages are multifunctional innate immune cells that can promote or dampen inflammation. Various stimuli including cytokines and pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns activate macrophages, reprogramming them into a diverse array of possible subtypes. The signals guiding the differing functional states of macrophages are of particular interest in the search to provide improved treatment of diseases in which macrophage-mediated inflammation is implicated. During macrophage activation, metabolic reprogramming is crucial to support various pro- and anti-inflammatory activation states. Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a metabolic enzyme which catalyzes the final two steps in purine catabolism, producing uric acid from hypoxanthine and xanthine. XOR activity has previously been shown to support pro-inflammatory IL-1β production in macrophages, however the broader role of XOR activity on macrophage activation remains to be fully elucidated. We therefore aimed to investigate the role of XOR activity on macrophage activation and function. Bone marrow-derived macrophages were generated from adult C57BL/6 mice and using LPS(+IFNγ) or IL-4 in the presence of the XOR inhibitor febuxostat. Global metabolic profiles were assessed using the Seahorse assay, which uses proxies to measure mitochondrial and glycolytic metabolism. Expression of key markers of macrophage activation were assessed by flow cytometry. Levels of signaling mediators for Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4, which recognizes LPS), components of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory complex NLRP3 inflammasome, and its product IL-1β, were measured by immunoblotting. We found that inhibition of XOR resulted in a preservation of mitochondrial respiratory function in LPS+IFNγ-stimulated macrophages, which are known to progressively lose this function. XOR inhibition resulted in blunted upregulation of canonical markers of activation in both LPS+IFNγ- and IL-4-stimulated macrophages. LPS-stimulated macrophages contained lower levels of IL-1β when XOR was inhibited, consistent with observed changes in TLR4 signaling mediators, including a decrease in the adaptor protein MyD88, and differential modulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase activity. XOR activity appears to support both LPS(+IFNγ)- and IL-4-induced macrophage activation. Further elucidation of the mechanism linking purine catabolism and macrophage activation could uncover novel targets for the treatment of diseases in which macrophages are implicated.
