Introduction: The texts of classical literature are of great importance for the formation of critical readers. For this reason, this article proposes a current reading of the winners’ difficulties that are evident in Seneca’s Troades: Pyrrhus, Agamemnon, Ulysses, Achilles, and Helena. Development: Starting from a content analysis of the literary work, a reflection on the consequences of feelings and passions is presented. It becomes evident that when the human being is confronted with himself and with his essence everything comes to the surface: the most admired virtue (moderation) and the most despicable defects (arrogance, brutality, tyranny, hypocrisy and cowardice). Conclusions: It is concluded that the winners’ concern focuses on the doubt about the success of the return trip.

Introduction: Curricular articulation between early childhood education and primary school is a fundamental process concerning the child’s adaptation to school. Primary teachers should establish links with pre-school educators, facilitating the transition between these two levels of education in a harmonious process, and promoting the continuity of the educational process.Objectives: To ascertain the importance and the meaning that teachers of primary school confer to curricular articulation and to know the aspects of the profile of the pupils that are favoured when consulting the individual process, as well as the most frequent initiatives regarding that articulation.Methods: A descriptive and analytical research was conducted, using a questionnaire survey applied to a sample of 45 teachers of the 1st year of primary school in the municipality of Viseu (Portugal).Results: From the data obtained, it is worth mentioning the great importance that teachers attribute to curricular articulation, the privilege conferred by them on how to behave in society (citizenship), the sense of autonomy and the children’s ability to communicate, as well as the teachers’ commitment to carry out a variety of activities and projects, in addition to the celebrations of thematic days and parties.Conclusions: Curricular articulation facilitates the transition between these two levels of education and contributes to an adequate adaptation of the children to the school, thereby promoting school success for all pupils.

Introduction: Patient’s safety has a multidimensional and multidisciplinary character. In its multidimensional nature, WHO highlights the importance of the quality interaction and communication as determinants of quality and safety in health care delivery. Objetive: To analyze the extent to which sociodemographic and professional variables influence nurses’ communication skills and what the impact of nurses’ communicational competencies on the safety culture of care. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive-correlational, analytical and cross-sectional study with a sample of 138 nurses. We used the Hospital survey on Patient Safety Culture (Eiras, 2011), and the Clinical Communication Skills Scale (ECCC), validated by (Ferreira; Silva & Duarte 2016) for the evaluation of communication skills. Results: The population has 32.51 years as average, with a standard deviation of 7.958. They are mostly female (77.54%) with a degree (94.4%) and have, on average, 9.41 years of professional experience. Age, marital status, work experience does not influence the safety culture of the patient. After the inferential analysis through a multivariate multiple regression, we note that all manifest variables (Years of professional experience, collects information, share information and allows to terminate the dialogue) showed significant values. The greater the years of professional experience less punitive error response. Conclusions: The results point to the importance of some variables in the patient’s safety culture. This reality is circumscribed by new presuppositions and attitudes; Professionals who have to attend, in a timely manner, the evolution of knowledge, ensuring safe practices, assuring the quality of the care provided.

Introduction: The concept of female solo traveler, despite recent, has become a relevant tourist segment. As tourists, these women are looking for journeys that bring more than a trip from one place to another. They choose to go alone in the pursuit of adventure, independence, feeling of personal fulfillment, individuality and escape. They do not travel alone because they have no choice or because they are loners. They are driven by specific and consciousness motivations.Objective: In this conceptual work, a set of solo travel motivations are categorize based on literature review, to identify why women, choose to travel alone. The focus of this article is to explore the relationship between these motivations with women solo travel experiences providing a conceptual model.Methods: An extensive literature review focusing on the concept of tourism motivations and experiences provide a framework that allows assesses the specific motivations that driven women into travel alone and the corresponding solo traveler experience dimensions. The multi-dimension scales considers eight motivations dimensions: (1) escape, (2) self-identity and development, (3) challenge, (4) connectedness with others, (5) learning, (6) adventure, (7) new life perspectives, and (8) autonomy; and five experience dimensions: (1) sense, (2) feel, (3) think, (4) act, and (5) relate based on Schmitt’ model tourism experience (Schmitt, 1999).Results: Despite an extensive literature review, there are few studies based on experiences and motivations of women solo travelers.Conclusions: Even if it is a market that has not been very explored and studied has gained numerous supporters around the world, translating into an expressive impact not only in sociological terms, but also in its tourist experience.

Introducao: O Inventario de Habilidades do Cuidador traduzido do original Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) de Ngozi Nkongho (1999) foi projetado para medir as habilidades autopercecionadas pelos cuidadores informais. Considerando que alguns cuidadores poderao nao estar capacitados com habilidades para cuidar de pessoas dependentes e que o conhecimento acerca desta problematica e ainda deficitario, justifica-se desenvolver investigacao neste dominio. Objetivos: Avaliar as propriedades psicometricas, nomeadamente a estrutura fatorial e a consistencia interna; classificar as habilidades autopercecionadas pelos cuidadores informais. Metodos: Estudo transversal de natureza observacional com foco metodologico, realizado em contexto comunitario, numa amostra de 214 participantes (86,9% mulheres), com uma media de 51,07 anos. Residem em meio rural 63,6% dos participantes; 66,8% possuem companheiro(a); 57,5% possuem ate ao 3.o ciclo do ensino basico, 65,9% com familia altamente funcional, 51,9% estao inseridos numa familia nuclear ou simples. Foi estudada a consistencia interna e realizada uma analise fatorial confirmatoria do Caring Ability Inventory de Ngozi Nkongho (1999). Resultados: O estudo da consistencia interna do Caring Ability Inventory de Ngozi Nkongho (1999), versao espanhola Inventario de Habilidades do Cuidador de Berdejo & Parra (2008), confirmou a estrutura original, apresentando tres (3) fatores relativos a: fator 1- Conhecimento (α= 0.78); fator 2 – Coragem (α=0. 65); fator 3 - Paciencia (α= 0.78). O valor de Alfa de Cronbach para o global do CAI foi de 0,84. No global, 45,3 % dos participantes detem adequadas habilidades para cuidar, 27,6% tem habilidades de cuidados muito adequadas, sendo que em 27,1% as habilidades sao inadequadas. Conclusoes: Esta investigacao aporta o estudo das propriedades psicometricas do Caring Ability Inventory , numa amostra da populacao portuguesa. A analise comparativa dos achados da presente investigacao com os resultados obtidos por Ngozi Nkongho (1999) revelou que, no presente estudo, a estrutura fatorial se mantem e que os valores de consistencia interna na Nota Global sao coincidentes (α=0.84), porem nos fatores Conhecimento e Coragem sao mais baixos e no factor Paciencia mais altos. A afericao de um instrumento de medida das habilidades dos cuidadores potencia que as/os enfermeiras/os implementem na pratica clinica a sua avaliacao e mensuracao, de modo a identificar os clusters mais vulneraveis, ou seja, os grupos de cuidadores com menos habilidades e elaborar uma proposta de intervencao em termos de ajuda/intervencao formal.

Introduction: The value creation in industry in developed countries is being driven by the fourth stage of industrialization, denominated by Industry 4.0. The new industrial revolution will be motivated by next-generation information technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, Big Data and data analysis, robotics, mobile computing, simulation and modelling, cyber-physical systems, among others. This opens new horizons for industry, but the challenges are countless creating difficulties for companies in the adoption of these technologies.Objectives: To make a powerful and deep literature revision pursuing a technical analysis of the Industry 4.0 requirements. Further.Methods: We will address the main risks and challenges associated with IoT and define the regional attractiveness measures as growth drivers that leaders must put in place to appeal for companies chasing 4.0.Results: IoT joins the digital world and the physical world being considered the next generation network or the future Internet. It allows to give life and communication capacity either to living beiings or to inanimate objects.IoT's intervention in Industry 4.0 im extreme, with a continuous interconnection of the digital and physical domain.Conclusions: Portugal's growth prospects will increasingly depend on policies that enable the economy to compete successfully and create new income opportunities. At the moment, there are structural bottlenecks that continue to curb growth and exacerbate vulnerabilities. Solving some of these problems will now lay the foundation for solid growth in the coming years, but this calls for a renewal of the impetus for structural reforms. Industry 4.0, can contribute significantly to reducing regional asymmetries. But in the longer term, skills will need to be improved to foster development and reduce the high levels of such inequalities.

Introduction: Aggressive fluid therapy is frequently suggested in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. However, there is some controversy about the effect of this therapy concerning the development of clinical complications and the need for surgery. Objectives: To explore the relationship between fluid administration in the first 48 hours and the development of local or systemic complications, to contribute to clarifying some open questions on this subject. Methods: This study is based on records of 109 patients admitted to the Surgical High Dependency Unit of Tondela Viseu Hospital Centre, between 2007 and 2012, with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Data were explored, and statistical tests were used to identify variables that differentiate patients with complications. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves allowed to relate the amount of fluids at 48 hours with the occurrence of each complication. Logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for each complication. Results: There was no significant relationship between fluid therapy at 48 hours with death nor with the occurrence of systemic complications. As opposed, fluid therapy at 48 hours revealed to be associated with local and late complications, presence of infection and need for surgery. Conclusion: High levels of fluid therapy in the first 48 hours were associated with the development of complications.
