- Technostress and Coping: Impact on Job Satisfaction and Moderating Effect of Sociodemographic VariablesPublication . Silva, Osvaldo; Moniz, Ana; Bento, Júlia; Abreu, A., Carvalho, J.V., Mesquita, A., Sousa Pinto, A., Mendonça Teixeira, M. , A.ABSTRACT: During the COVID-19 pandemic, due to lockdowns and social distance rules, many organizations were forced to adopt remote work. The workforce was af-fected and had to adapt abruptly to update their technology knowledge and skills, to deal with digital technologies, increasing stress levels and often caus-ing technostress. Research proves that technostress can have a negative impact on employee’s job satisfaction and organizational outcomes, suggesting that it is relevant to effectively manage technostress and mitigate its adverse conse-quences. The aim of this work is to assess the influence of sociodemographic variables (gender, age group and academic qualifications) on technological skills, technostress (techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-overload, techno-uncertainty and techno-insecurity), coping strategies (individual and or-ganizational) and job satisfaction. The proposed model was tested through a survey of 407 public sector employees in Portugal that were in remote work during the pandemic. It was revealed that technostress and organizational cop-ing strategies influence job satisfaction. There are significant differences be-tween men and women, with men tending to report more that “technology engagement” strategies have a negative impact on techno-invasion and techno-overload, as well as techno-invasion having a negative impact on job satisfaction. The “technological involvement” strategy has a negative impact on tech-no-uncertainty and techno-insecurity, being significantly stronger in respond-ents in the older age group, while in the younger age group the “techno in-volvement” strategy has a significantly stronger positive impact on job satisfaction.

- Seasonal variation of dung-associated arthropods in cattle pastures of Terceira Island (Azores): a year-round, event-based datasetPublication . Wallon, Sophie; Leite, Abrão; Duenas-Rojas, Almudena; Cuesta, Eva; Coelho dos Santos, Ana Margarida; Lhoumeau, Sébastien Georges André; Borges, P.A.V.; Soares, AntónioDung-associated arthropods, particularly dung beetles (Scarabaeidae), together with rove beetles (Staphylinidae) and water scavenger beetles (Hydrophilidae), support key ecosystem functions in cattle-grazed landscapes, including dung removal, nutrient cycling, soil aeration and pest suppression. Their activity is strongly seasonal in temperate systems, driven by temperature and moisture and can be further reshaped by pasture management (e.g. changes in grazing regimes and dung availability). Oceanic islands add an important perspective because species pools are typically smaller and often dominated by introduced taxa, potentially altering phenology and dominance patterns across the year. However, year-round, standardised, event-based datasets for dung-associated arthropod assemblages remain scarce for oceanic islands, limiting robust comparisons amongst guilds, sites and management regimes and reducing our ability to benchmark seasonal windows of activity under climate variability and land-use change.
- Metagenomic survey of fungal communities in compost from dairy plant wastewater sludge and garden trimmingsPublication . Monjardino, Paulo; Azevedo, Ana Rita; Mendonça, Duarte; Pozsgai, Gabor; Borges, P.A.V.; Frias, Jorge; Toubarro, Duarte; Jiang, NingComposting converts organic residues into stable organic matter and nutrients under aerobic conditions, improving soil properties and microbiome balance, while mitigating environmental impacts. Although microbiomes of various compost types have been studied, information is still fragmented and often not tailored to specific raw material combinations. In particular, little is known about the fungal communities involved in composting dairy plant wastewater sludge mixed with garden trimmings. This data paper contributes to filling that gap by providing a comprehensive taxonomic inventory.

Pereira, José Carlos da Silva; Coordenação e edição de Ana Teresa Alves (FCSH-UAc)Hoje, a Cê de Ciência apresenta uma relação quase improvável que envolve petróleo, arte, carrinhas e livros. Achas possível? Sim, e vamos começar por relacionar o petróleo com a maior revolução cultural de acesso aos livros e à leitura em Portugal. Como? A partir da figura de Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, um magnata que nasceu na Arménia em 1869 e adquiriu nacionalidade britânica em 1902.
- Global extinction risk assessment of soil-dependent species: recent progress and recommendationsPublication . Cox, Neil; Westrip, James; Bowles, Philip; Hilton-Taylor, Craig; Hochkirch, Axel; Jenkins, Richard; Mueller, Gregory; Borges, P.A.V.; Briones, Maria; Canteiro, Cátia; Chaudhary, V.

Sergio; LaPolla, John; Leandro, Camila; Lindo, Zoe; Manley, Bethan; Numa, Catherine; Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat; Parnell, J. Jacob; Potapov, Anton; Sánchez, Alberto; Schwarzfeld, Marla; Silva-Flores, Patricia; Sullivan, Gregory; Tsiafouli, Maria; Vaz-de-Mello, Fernando; Vilonen, Leena; Zaitsev, AndreySoil biodiversity is crucial to the maintenance of multiple critical ecosystem functions and services. However, remarkably little is known about the conservation status of most soil-dependent species. To better understand the current situation, we determined the number of soil-dependent species listed in the various categories of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Firstly, a definition of soil-dependent species was developed for IUCN Red List purposes, and this definition facilitated the identification of 8,653 currently listed soil-dependent species. These species included 503 invertebrate and fungal species assessed during the current study; these species were chosen as they were based on priorities for the Red List Strategic Plan, and IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Specialist Group interests. We discuss progress and constraints on the IUCN Red List assessment of soil-dependent species worldwide. Our recommendations for the IUCN SSC to improve the IUCN Red List as a source of information on conservation of soil-dependent species are: (1) scaling up of SSC assessment processes for soil-dependent invertebrates and fungi, including establishment of a Soil Biota Working Group, in line with the IUCN Red List Strategic Plan; (2) building closer connections with other organizations and agencies researching and monitoring soil biodiversity; and (3) broader engagement with and education of governments, landholders and the public as to the fundamental importance of the conservation of global soil biodiversity.
- PRISMAC – Análise, mitigação e gestão do risco de movimentos de vertente potenciados pelas alterações climáticas na Macaronésia.Publication . Marques, Rui; Silva, Rui; Silva, Maria JoãoO projeto PRISMAC – Análise, Mitigação e Gestão do Risco de Movimentos de Vertente Potenciados pelas Alterações Climáticas na Macaronésia (ref.ª 1/MAC/2/2.4/0112) enquadra-se na necessidade de promover o desenvolvimento sustentável de regiões ultraperiféricas, nas quais fatores meteorológicos adversos, frequentemente agravados pelas alterações climáticas, contribuem para desequilíbrios ambientais e para a ocorrência de catástrofes naturais.
- Integrating plot-based methods for monitoring biodiversity in island habitats under the scope of BIODIVERSA+ project BioMonI: Beetle monitoring in Pico and Terceira IslandsPublication . Borges, P.A.V.; Dal Lago, Alexandra; Amorim do Rosário, Isabel; Carvalho, Rui; Crespo, Luís Carlos; Nunes, Rui; Pereira, Fernando; Rego, Carla; Gabriel, Rosalina; Rigal, François; Cardoso, Pedro; Guerrero-Ramírez, NathalyOceanic island native forests have become highly fragmented and yet host a disproportionate share of endemic arthropod diversity. Long-term monitoring and conservation planning are often limited by the scarcity of standardised, plot-based datasets for key indicator taxonomic groups, such as the megadiverse beetles (Coleoptera). Under the scope of the projects EU-NETBIOME grant 0003/2011, FCT MACDIV – FCT-PTDC/BIABIC/0054/2014 and BIODIVERSA+ funded BioMonI, we compile and mobilise a baseline dataset of forest beetles from the Azores using a network of 16 permanent 50 m × 50 m native-forest plots (Pico: 6 plots; Terceira: 10 plots). Beetles were sampled with an optimised COBRA (Conservation Oriented Biodiversity Rapid Assessment) protocol complemented by beetle-targeted sampling techiques (under-bark/epiphyte and coarse woody debris/ground refugia searches), enabling repeatable and comparable monitoring across islands and through time.

- Inteligência artificial no ensino superior: Atalho para o sucesso ou caminho para a dependência?Publication . Silva, Osvaldo; Gráfica AçoreanaNum cenário cada vez mais digital, a inteligência artificial (IA) entrou no ensino superior à velocidade de uma promessa tecnológica que, como tantas outras, parece querer resolver tudo, depressa e sem grande esforço humano. Em poucos meses, passou de curiosidade de laboratório a ferramenta quotidiana de estudantes, docentes e investigadores. Produz resumos, sugere bibliografia, organiza ideias, redige rascunhos, gera código, traduz conteúdos e até simula raciocínios que, noutros tempos, exigiam horas de leitura, reflexão e, por vezes, algumas noites mal dormidas ou, pelo menos, uma boa dose de café. O problema é que, como sucede com muitas promessas tecnológicas, esta também vem acompanhada de um conjunto considerável de cautelas. […]. Pode até fingir que pensa. Mas continua a caber às pessoas a tarefa mais difícil e mais importante: julgar, verificar, interpretar e decidir. Em tempos de respostas instantâneas, talvez a verdadeira coragem académica seja esta: parar, ler melhor e desconfiar com elegância. Porque a inteligência artificial pode ajudar muito. Mas pensar continua a ser um trabalho que, felizmente, ainda não está automatizado. Use a inteligência artificial, mas não deixe de pensar por si.
