- A influencia das motivações dos turistas na visita a diferentes destinos: evidências para a comunicação dos destinosPublication . Oliveira, Adriana José de; Pereira, Ana Maria Rodrigues; Santo, Pedro Manuel do Espírito; Santos, Sara Cristina Valente dosA competitividade turística tem sido crescente nos últimos anos. Com a internet, que permite que os turistas pesquisem os seus destinos para férias autonomamente, a competitividade entre locais turísticos tem sido mais agressiva. Neste contexto, a comunicação dos territórios com o objetivo da sua promoção e divulgação das suas características diferenciadoras tem-se centrado na apresentação dos recursos de cada território aos turistas. As motivações que estão na base da escolha do destino turístico nem sempre são conhecidas e, por vezes negligenciadas no marketing turístico. Assim, esta investigação identifica motivações que influenciam a escolha de um destino e tem como objetivo explorar as suas consequências. Deste modo, através de uma amostra de turistas portugueses, foi testada, através de PLS (Partial Least Squares) a influência das motivações dos turistas na visita a diferentes destinos. Este estudo encontrou evidências para a comunicação dos destinos como referido nas conclusões apresentadas.
- ERS International Congress 2022: Highlights from the Allied Respiratory Professionals AssemblyPublication . Price, Oliver J; Paixão, Cátia; Poddighe, Diego; Miranda, Sabina; Silva, Rui; Silva, Liliana; Volpato, Eleonora; Sylvester, Karl P; Nyberg, Andre; Sajnic, Andreja; Cruz, JoanaIn this paper, we provide a brief overview of some of the outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly during the 2022 European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress, which was held in a hybrid format. Early Career Members from Assembly 9 summarised the content of the sessions, with the support of the Officers from the four Assembly groups: Respiratory Function Technologists and Scientists (Group 9.01); Physiotherapists (Group 9.02); Nurses (Group 9.03); Psychologists and Behavioural Scientists (Group 9.04). The sessions covered the following topics: recent advances in cardiopulmonary exercise and challenge testing; the role and new trends in physiotherapy, exercise and physical activity promotion interventions in chronic respiratory diseases; development of the international curriculum for respiratory nurses and nursing aspects in disease management; and treatment adherence, e-health interventions and post Covid-19 challenges. This Highlights paper targets delegates who attended the Congress sessions, as well as those who were unable to attend, and provides valuable insight into the latest scientific data and emerging areas affecting the clinical practice of Allied Respiratory Professionals.
- The Reliability of the Timed Up and Go Test among Portuguese ElderlyPublication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Teixeira, José; Forte, PedroAssessment of dynamic balance is typically completed through functional tests, such as the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, which measures the time it takes for an individual to stand up from a chair, walk a set distance, turn around, and sit back down. This test has been validated in several countries. However, in the Portuguese population there is a gap on testing the reliability of this functional test in a sample of the elderly both living in the community or in nursing homes. Thus, this study aimed at examining the reliability of the TUG in a sample of Portuguese elderly. An Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) analysis was performed between the first time (T1) and the time score after 16 weeks (T2) in TUG test by 38 males and 79 females aged between 60 and 92 years. The results showed acceptable scores of ICC in community-dwelling and nursing home resident elderly in both moments. In addition, significant differences were found between these groups of older adults, showing that community-dwelling elderly show greater agility and balance capacity compared to those living in nursing homes. Thus, the TUG test can be applied in the Portuguese elderly in both community-dwelling and nursing home resident elderly.
- Financial literacy in individuals trained in economics, management, finance, and accountingPublication . Tavares, Fernando Oliveira; Santos, E.; Vasco TavaresThis study aims to analyse and compare the perception and the knowledge of financial literacy of the Portuguese with training in Economics, Management, Finance, and/or Accounting. It is used a quantitative methodology based on a questionnaire that studies the perception of financial literacy and assesses financial literacy knowledge. The sample is formed by 395 Portuguese individuals with training in Economics, Management, Finance, and/or Accounting. The obtained results show that the scale of financial literacy perception presents a structure with three factors: 1–2 year financial goals and planning, long-term saving, and taste for numerical calculations. The results also show that the Portuguese individuals present greater levels of financial literacy perception compared to their actual knowledge of financial literacy. The originality of this study shows that the utilized instrument was adequate to measure the financial literacy perception of the Portuguese individuals with training in the areas of Economics, Management, Finance, and Accounting. The difference between the perception and the actual knowledge of financial literacy among people trained in these areas should encourage a revision of the curriculums of these degrees, to shorten that gap.
