The present essay starts from a diagnosis of the contemporary social and cultural situation and considers a set of plausible cultural polarities in general and the polarity freedom/ sense in particular with the purpose of developing a reflection about Law’s reconstructed sense, its autonomy, its limits and its actual alternatives.

This paper reports on the study of the seismic response of an urban building block located in Faial, a town of the Horta Island of the Azores, Portugal. The work fits within the framework of studying strengthening schemes suitable for the reconstruction process of a town damaged by an earthquake action and includes numerical modelling of all the building blocks with calibration of material and structural parame...
A method for simultaneous analysis of trihalomethanes and organochloride and pyrethroid pesticides in water utilizing SPME-HS and GC-ECD was developed. In the optimized method 25 mL of water containing 2% (w/v) Na2HPO4 were heated to 60 °C for 50 min. The fiber (PDMS - 100 μm) was exposed to a headspace for the same period. For all analytes it was found that LOQ < MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level), CV < 20% ...
Angola vivia em guerra civil de 1989 a 2002, arco temporal que esta tese abrange. A minha investigação propôs-se estudar o impacto político das intervenções da Igreja Católica na pacificação do país. O papel que a Igreja desempenha na Paz deriva dos seus compromissos na luta a favor da Justiça. Para a fundamentação teórica aprofundei conceitos de Justiça, Paz, Política e Conflito, Cultura Banto, Teologias Afric...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique associated with purification at low temperature for the determination of pyrethroids in butter. Evaluated parameters included: sample/adsorbent ratio, type of adsorbent and extractor solvent. The optimized method was validated based on predetermined requirements. The detection limits of the pyrethroids cypermethri...
Multiresidue methods for pesticides monitoring by GC are commonly employed, however, it is well known that the presence of compounds of the matrix introduces errors during the quantiûcation. The main consequence of matrix effect is an increasing or decreasing analyte signal after the GC saturation with extracts of matrix. In this paper, the influence of constituents of nine matrices on the quantification of the...
The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is constituted by a set of specific metabolic alterations being postulated that the main dysfunction is insulin resistance, associated with abdominal type obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Epidemiological data indicates prevalence of MS of about 25%. Estimates point to higher prevalence of MS in bipolar (BP) patients, between 30 to 35%. Cost-effective screening m...
A carreira médica pode desencadear alterações patológicas na saúde mental, que podem ter início já na graduação. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a prevalência de Transtornos Psiquiátricos Menores (TPMe) e a procura por ajuda em estudantes de um curso de Medicina. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com uma população de 343 estudantes da primeira à quarta série, maiores de 18 anos. Foram realizadas entrev...
The lack of accuracy of a chromatographic method can be associated with the matrix effect. This effect is observed in pesticide quantification by gas chromatography when the chromatographic signals of standards prepared in solvents are compared with those of the analyte in extracts of complex matrices. In the competition between the matrix components and the pesticides for the active sites of the liner, a large...
