The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

as representações sociais estão constantemente a mudar e por isso é importante que sejam orientadas correctamente. Uma forma da sua divulgação é através dos media. neste contexto, é fundamental compreender as representações sociais emanadas dos jornais desportivos, que noticiam os Jogos paralímpicos. através da análise de conteúdo, realizada em dois jornais de circulação nacional especializados em desporto (O Jogo e record), dos anos 1996, 2000, 2004 e 2008, anos de Jogos paralímpicos, somos capazes de descortinar as representações sociais dos jornais sobre os atletas paralímpicos portugueses. de uma análise a priori emergiram as seguintes categorias: terminologia e estereótipos. as nossas principais conclusões são: a frequência de publicação das notícias foi regular, mas não de forma contínua; a terminologia usada para descrever o atleta paralímpico é precisa, principalmente porque tende a retratar primeiro o atleta ao invés de sua deficiência, especialmente na publicação dos Jogos paralímpicos de 2004; a terminologia no conteúdo das notícias é desigual no sentido de que tanto enfatiza correctamente o tema "Jogos paralímpicos", os atletas e os métodos aplicados, mas apresenta inconsistências na terminologia por não usar as normas de People First Language; e o atleta paralímpico é representado cada vez menos de forma estereotipada.
For gray literature, Open Green and Base search and hand search repositories, which is a free search for materials that address the subject were searched. Results: The selected publications totaled 537, of which 104 were from the electronic databases and 433 records identified through other databases. After the removal of duplicates, 113 titles and abstracts and 37 complete texts were selected, after reading the articles in full, 14 articles were selected for inclusion in this review. Out of the 14 articles analyzed, relevant results were presented for a diet rich in fruits and vegetables; oleaginous, especially nuts; a Mediterranean diet was noted in three studies; dietary guidelines based on guides was mentioned in two studies and a high-protein diet was cited four times. Conclusion: The most effective diet for weight loss was the high fiber diet, although it contributes with small percentage value.
This article aims to explore the role of the Geophysical Institute of the University of Porto (IGUP) in the context of the Cold War, between the years of 1960 and 1963. Through the analysis of the documents that are part of the IGUP archive, I intend to understand its participation in the network International Scientific World-Wide Standard Seismograph Network (WWSSN), a program created by the North-American governmental cell, the US Department of Commerce Coast and Geodetic Survey (C&GS), in the first two decades of the second half of the 20th century, designed to obtain measurements seismological calibrated and standardized at a global level, and a collection of data, subsequently made available for unclassified scientific research. Given the relevance that this program had for the scientific area of seismology, this investigation was an attempt to understand how the project developed over time, and what were the forms of its establishment, operation, as well as its direct impact for IGUP itself, for the University of Porto, for national and international science and for the context in which Portugal was inserted in the Cold War.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
