- Mental Health Status and Coping among Portuguese Higher Education Students in the Early Phase of the COVID-19 PandemicPublication . Laranjeira, Carlos; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos; Querido, AnaGlobally, the COVID-19 outbreak had an adverse effect on higher education students’ mental health and psychological well-being. This study aims to assess the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression and associated factors in a sample of students in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and determine the predictive effect of mental health status on coping. The sample was collected between March and July 2020 and included 392 higher education students in Portugal. An online cross-sectional study was conducted using a survey that included an information form, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale. The prevalence of mild-to-extremely severe depression, anxiety and stress was 24.2%, 32.7% and 33.4%, respectively. About 60% of the sample had poor coping abilities. Masters students, participants older than 30 years and female participants had significantly greater resilient coping compared to undergraduate students and younger and male participants (p < 0.05). Resilient coping correlated negatively with depression, anxiety and stress. The regression analysis showed that age together with overall levels of depression, anxiety and stress explained 16.9% of the variance in coping. The results should inform the implementation of interventions to mitigate the impact of psychological distress and promote mental health.

- Experienciar a Liberdade, Manifestar a Experiência - um exercício e um manifestoPublication . Ramos, Ana Beatriz Mendes; Caeiro, Mário Jorge da Câmara de MeloA nossa proposta pretende explorar a experiência e o experimento pessoal no âmbito de Design Gráfico, surgindo assim a questão: será que um trabalho totalmente individual, sem briefing e livre – desde logo de constrangimentos prévios determinados –, tem interesse para o Design Gráfico, enquanto disciplina, cultura, dimensão da praxis criativa? Será que tal circunstância contribui para repensar a sua esfera pedagógica, gerando uma vivência profundamente autopoiética? E que vias concretas se podem arriscar nesta deriva? Como projeto prático, foi projetada uma instalação com base num exercício rizomático. Invocámos dessa forma aquilo que designámos como Experiência da Liberdade. Ou seja, o reflexo da experimentação individual na prática do Design Gráfico, através do conceito de autopoiesis. O resultado desse exercício deu origem a um manifesto que surgiu da análise da experiência do conhecimento. O manifesto é a passagem – a tradução – para palavras (tipografia e lay- -out) do que a investigação conseguiu ir articulando no seu multidimensional processo. A metodologia utilizada é qualitativa, visto que consiste numa pesquisa direcionada àquilo que é pessoal à autora da dissertação, bem como a uma reunião e análise de referências teóricas e históricas. Uma segunda etapa passou pela experimentação de um espaço e, mais tarde, em jeito de manifesto acerca do Design Gráfico como processo deliberado – consciente – ou pelo menos estrategicamente autopoiético.
