Klappentext: Guiada pelo livro de Maria Lamas As Mulheres do Meu País, Susana Moreira Marques percorre o país ao encontro da memória das mulheres portuguesas do passado, numa viagem que vai em busca de uma herança esquecida. Lenços Pretos, Chapéus de Palha e Brincos de Ouro é um livro múltiplo: Um relato de viagem que tem como guia As mulheres do meu país, escrito no final dos anos 1940 por Maria Lamas, figura de proa do activismo político em Portugal. Um ensaio sobre os textos que as mulheres não escreveram e as vidas que elas não viveram, e que poderiam ter mudado a visão da História. A narrativa autobiográfica de uma escritora que tenta encontrar e desvendar a sua própria história nas histórias das mulheres anónimas que povoam o nosso imaginário. Susana Moreira Marques viaja pelas aldeias ruidosas do passado e as aldeias-museu do presente; passa por hotéis modernos onde já chegou o progresso de ter um quarto só para si; encontra mulheres que ainda vivem no silêncio de antigamente; procura registar velhas memórias e fazer perguntas que sejam úteis hoje: começa a desenhar as mulheres do país do futuro.

The most diverse sectors were influenced by the democratisation of 3D printers. This is why fashion designers try to apply 3D printing to their creations and look for a viable way to implement the technique. The adoption of 3D printing on apparel not only brings new advantages but also changes the entire manufacture of the product and the design development, as well as the relationship with the consumer. The application of fashionable printing is still very much focused on accessories and footwear, yet to bring innovation. There is still a need to launch new materials and introduce more technologies, representing what many see as part of the fourth industrial revolution in the context of fashion, where smart or wearable textiles win more and more space in the market, and prosumers increase every day. While the introduction of this technique in the fashion industry is recent compared to the traditional methods of garment manufacturing, there has been significant progress and a growing number of enthusiastic designers who try to develop this type of product. However, while there are many materials designed for printing and designers to develop their parts, there is a recurring problem that translates into the rigidity of the components obtained and, consequently, the lack of comfort and usability. That is why 3D printing has developed more rapidly in the accessory industry (jewellery, bags .). After extensive research on additive manufacturing technologies and its application in the fashion industry, it was possible to verify that footwear, jewellery, and other accessories were the ones that had better adherence. It was also observed that in the clothing sector the technology is still very much linked to conceptual fashion and that there are several obstacles to the implementation of the technique. It is also clear that there is a long way to go about the feasibility of solutions for the manufacture and the need to find means that allow more flexible and comfortable parts of good quality and with ample movement. ...

A nurse sleeps at the bedside of his dying patients; a wife deceives her husband by never telling him he has cancer; a bedridden man has to be hidden from his demented and amorous eighty-year-old wife. In her poignant and genre-busting debut, Susana Moreira Marques confronts us with our own mortality and inspires us to think about what is important. Accompanying a palliative care team, Moreira Marques travelled to Trás-os-Montes, a forgotten corner of northern Portugal, a rural area abandoned by the young. Crossing great distances where eagles circle over the roads, she visits villages where rural ways of life are disappearing. She listens to families facing death and gives us their stories in their words as well as through her own meditations. Brilliantly blending the immediacy of oral history with the sensibility of philosophical reportage, Moreira Marques' book speaks about death in a fresh way.

Purpose
This study aims to provide a comparative portrait of the profile of men and women in the boardrooms of listed companies (Euronext Lisbon, Portugal) during the first stage of the gender quota law, by comparing the profile of those board members appointed before the mandated quota law and those appointed after it. This study also seeks to contribute to a critical review of the main reservations expressed by some core institutional actors, who initially voiced their concern that it might be difficult to find women in equal conditions to men in terms of their cumulative experience and qualifications to serve as board members.


Design/methodology/approach
In addition to providing a comparative descriptive analysis of male and female board members' profiles before and after the mandated gender quota law, an aggregate professional endowments measure (professional endowments Index) is also calculated.


Findings
The research findings show that, in the first stage of the quota law, men and women appointed as board members after the mandated gender quota law are fundamentally similar in their professional attributes, forming a more homogeneous boardroom than those holding board positions before it.


Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature on the profile of the men and women serving on the publicly listed company boards in Portugal, by comparing their profiles before and after the mandated gender quota law. This study also fills a gap in the literature, as studies about gender quotas and corporate boards relating to Portugal and Southern European countries in general are still relatively scant. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study carried out into the gender quota law on corporate boards in Portugal.

This paper looks at the impact of the new regulatory framework in Portugal that came into force in January 2018, the so-called gender quota law that relates to the gender composition of the boardrooms of companies listed on the Euronext Lisbon Stock Exchange and in the public sector. It begins by contextualising the debate about the underrepresentation of women on boards and the new binding policy framework that has been introduced in the European Union (EU) and Portugal. The paper then examines the data relating to the representation of men and women on the boards of public listed companies (PLCs). It is concluded that the introduction of binding legal targets in Portugal has accelerated the movement towards a greater representation of women on the boards of PLCs, giving an added impulse to the longstanding, but slow progress generated by the incentives that were designed to encourage voluntary action on the part of the companies themselves, and to promote self-regulatory measures. One of the fundamental challenges lying ahead is to move from a greater numerical gender balance to s ubstantive gender equality in the boardroom, while also increasing the representation of women in positions of power and with influence over decision-making. ; Este artigo analisa o impacto do novo marco regulatório que entrou em vigor em Portugal em janeiro de 2018, a chamada lei das cotas de gênero, que determina uma composição mais equilibrada de mulheres e homens nos conselhos de administração das empresas cotadas na Bolsa de ValoresEuronext Lisbon e das empresas do setor público. O artigo começa por contextualizar o debate sobre a sub-representação de mulheres nos conselhos de administração e sobre o novo marco de políticas com efeito vinculativo, introduzido em vários países da União Europeia (UE) e em Portugal. Examina, em seguida, os dados relativos à representação de homens e mulheres nos conselhos de administração das empresas cotadas em bolsa. Conclui-se que a introdução desta medida legislativa de natureza vinculativa em Portugal acelerou o movimento em direção a uma maior representação das mulheres nos conselhos de administração das empresas cotadas em bolsa, representando um novo impulso ao progresso neste domínio, porém lento, gerado pelos anteriores incentivos que visaram estimular a ação voluntária por parte das próprias empresas e promover medidas de autorregulação.Um dos principais desafios consiste, ainda, na passagem de um maior equilíbrio numérico de gênero para uma igualdade substantiva nos conselhos de administração, aumentando ao mesmo tempo a representação das mulheres em cargos de poder e influência efetiva nos processos decisórios.

The dairy industry is one of the most polluting industries in the food sector, with very high energy and water consumption demands. Dairy wastewater treatment is therefore mandatory to reduce its environmental impact and to allow water recycling and energy savings. In this work, retentates (concentrated lactose streams) obtained from dairy wastewater processed by nanofiltration or reverse osmosis were assessed for direct bioethanol production by lactose-fermenting yeasts. Two of the tested Kluyveromyces strains efficiently fermented all available lactose, with ethanol yields higher than 90% of the theoretical maximum (>0.47 g/g yield). A K. marxianus strain was selected that under severe oxygen-limiting conditions was able to reach 70 g/L (8.9 % v/v) of ethanol, which is compatible with energy-efficient distillation processes. The process here described for handling dairy wastewaters, making use of membrane technology, allows water recycling from the permeate, complying with legislation for drinking water, and simultaneous bioenergy (bioethanol) production from the retentate, therefore contributing to a more sustainable dairy industry.

Objective: Many studies point to the negative impact of discrimination on the psychological and social functioning of ethnic minority persons. The realization of these studies across multiple European countries enables a systematization of this knowledge, which is our goal in the present work. Method: This study presents a systematic review and a meta-analysis of the correlates of perceived ethnic discrimination among ethnic minority persons living in European countries. Results: The analyses of 121 effect sizes reveal that discrimination is positively associated with symptoms of psychiatric disturbances, depression, psychosis, perceived stress, and externalizing behavior. Discrimination is also negatively associated with the self-esteem, positive evaluation of life, self-efficacy/mastery, well-being, and psychological adaptation of migrants. The results show that the strength of these relationships is, in some cases, moderated by persons' gender, age, and ethnicity and countries' multicultural preference and countries' rating in the Migrant Integration Policies Index (MIPEX), namely, in regard to labor market mobility, permanent residence, and antidiscrimination policies. Conclusions: The detrimental effect of discrimination on many psychosocial dimensions emphasizes the need for governmental agencies to develop systemic and concrete interventions to decrease ethnic prejudice in Europe. Moreover, the results show that fostering multiculturalism, and implementing broad antidiscrimination policies has a protective function in the face of discrimination. Enforcing the implementation of these policies can be a fundamental way to promote the psychological adjustment of ethnic minority persons.
