    The construction of job competency model for oncologists in Shanghai
    (2026-07-08) He Ke; Pereira, Leandro Ferreira; Jerónimo, Carlos Hernandez
    This study focuses on the job competency of oncologists in Shanghai and develops a competency model that reflects the specific characteristics of oncology practice. Through literature review, expert interviews, and textual analysis, six key dimensions are identified: knowledge and skills, physician-patient communication, scientific innovation, ethics and law, team collaboration, and digital and intelligent healthcare. Based on these dimensions, a structured scale is developed, and 398 valid questionnaires are collected. Empirical analyses are conducted using Stata and SPSS. The findings indicate that the model demonstrates robust reliability and validity. Among the six dimensions, knowledge and skills, physician-patient communication, team collaboration, and digital and intelligent healthcare significantly and positively predict performance. Although scientific innovation and ethics and law do not exhibit direct effects on performance, they display moderating effects in interaction analyses. This suggests that these dimensions substantially influence the pathways through which other competencies are exercised in complex clinical settings. Hence, this study enriches the structure of job competency of oncologists.

    Os clubes desportivos e a integração social dos jovens: O caso do andebol
    (2026-09-10) Santana, Carlos Alberto Gomes; Machado, Fernando Luís
    Esta tese analisa o papel do desporto, e em particular dos clubes federados de andebol, na integração social dos jovens. O estudo procura compreender de que forma os clubes promovem oportunidades de participação e integração, sobretudo entre jovens oriundos de contextos socioeconómicos vulneráveis, e se existem políticas públicas, do Estado central ou do poder local, que apoiem ou potenciem esse processo. A investigação combina métodos quantitativos e qualitativos: a análise dos dados resultantes da aplicação de um questionário a 540 jovens praticantes, bem como de entrevistas semiestruturadas a dirigentes de clubes, representantes municipais, da Federação de Andebol de Portugal, das associações regionais e do Instituto Português do Desporto e Juventude. Complementarmente, foram consultados documentos institucionais. Os resultados mostram que, embora os clubes sejam reconhecidos como espaços privilegiados de socialização, a sua capacidade integradora é limitada por constrangimentos financeiros, humanos e institucionais. A dependência do contributo financeiro das famílias e dos apoios municipais condiciona a universalidade do acesso, enquanto a ausência de políticas públicas específicas e de articulação entre os vários níveis de governação reforça desigualdades. Conclui-se que o desporto possui potencial integrador, mas esse potencial não decorre automaticamente da sua existência. Exige recursos, políticas e estratégias articuladas entre clubes, autarquias e Estado, de modo a conciliar rendimento desportivo, equidade e justiça social.

    Architecture is a political act: Regenerative community responses to ecological emergency
    (2026-09-07) Crowley, Duncan; Marat-Mendes, Teresa; Falanga, Roberto
    Is humanity doing well enough to keep humans alive? In 2022, the UN Secretary-General claimed that insufficient action to alleviate global heating could lead to “collective suicide.” This work critically assesses whether regenerative and community-led responses to the ecological emergency are transforming cities for a healthier world.The author uses autoethnography to reflect on his engaged research with ECOLISE and UrbanA, as well as his experience as a grassroots activist. From practice, he examines three questions: Why is this work needed? How is it happening? What healthy places are emerging? An accompanying theoretical component examines the Ecological Emergency, Pathways of Change, and Healthy Places. Under the premise that "Architecture is a Political Act," the text examines architecture’s complicity in current crises and its ability to resolve them by supporting bioregional, community-led transformations.The Paris Agreement is failing: in 2024, Earth’s global temperature exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. NASA’s James Hansen declared the international 2°C target dead in 2025. Climate denial is growing, tipping points are fast approaching, and the accurate 1972 ecological emergency predictions of The Limits to Growth were ignored. Despite the widening acceptance of post-growth frameworks, it is not enough; system change requires ending fossil fuel use. Furthermore, the transformational work of radical groups to connect communities has been interrupted by culture wars, internal conflicts, and climate justice illiteracy—all exacerbated by blind European racism regarding ongoing global conflicts.Sustainability is no longer enough; regenerative cultures are needed, and re-connection to place is key. Indigenous-led Rights of Nature law changes are positively disrupting territorial governance. Finally, social movements should employ municipalism for multilevel governance, mimicking nature through nested systems within fractal river networks.
