Biblioteca do Paraíso promove mostra bibliográfica sobre o Vinho do Porto

31.01.2024 11:25
Edifício Central / Central Building


Nos meses de janeiro e fevereiro de 2024, decorre na Biblioteca do Paraíso uma mostra bibliográfica intitulada "Um cálice do Porto", dedicada ao tema do Vinho do Porto.

Para assinalar o Dia Internacional do Vinho do Porto, que se celebra a 27 de janeiro, a Biblioteca reuniu algumas obras da sua coleção alusivas a esta temática.

As obras expostas fazem a narrativa do percurso do Vinho do Porto, desde o cultivo da uva, ilustrando o cuidado e o tratamento das próprias cepas, a sua colheita e preparação até chegar ao cálice, dos amantes daquele néctar que desce dos socalcos do Douro até às Caves em Vila Nova de Gaia.

Simultaneamente, podem ser vistas imagens em vídeo que ilustram a paisagem do Douro vinhateiro, a vindima, bem como, outros aspetos relevantes do ciclo de produção, transformação e venda do Vinho do Porto, hoje, reconhecido em todo o Mundo!

Esperamos por si, para uma visita a esta Mostra de “Um cálice de Porto”!

Ciclo de Conversas “Alimentar uma Causa”: Direito, acompanhamento e inclusão: O que mudou e o que ainda pode mudar? Com Marta Rosas

25.02.2024 11:00


 

“Direito, acompanhamento e inclusão: O que mudou e o que ainda pode mudar?” é o título de mais uma sessão integrada no Ciclo de Conversas “Alimentar uma Causa”, uma iniciativa promovida pela Fundação de Serralves, em parceria científica com a Universidade Católica Portuguesa no Porto. Um evento que terá como oradora Marta Rosas, docente da Escola do Porto da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, que se realiza a 25 de fevereiro, pelas 11h00, na Biblioteca, da Fundação de Serralves.

 

Sinopse

Ouvimos falar em diversas alterações e inovações legislativas em matéria de apoio a pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade. Por exemplo, sabemos que, recentemente, o novo Regime do Maior Acompanhado veio integrar o Código Civil português, substituindo as antigas medidas de interdição e de inabilitação. O que mudou? Por outro lado, o Modelo de Apoio à Vida Independente continua o seu caminho com vista a uma plena implementação prática, a nova Lei da Saúde Mental trouxe novidades importantes em matéria de reforço da autonomia e, noutra perspetiva, a proteção dos cuidadores informais também tem merecido impulsos legislativos de relevo. Quais são os objetivos e as potencialidades dos novos regimes jurídicos? É muito importante conhecer os diversos meios de apoio, abrindo espaço à responsabilidade comunitária e à solidariedade familiar. E, no futuro, qual o caminho a seguir? O que ainda falta fazer?

Markets & Policy Seminar - “The Wealth Effects of Takeover Bids Regulation in the European Union”

01.02.2024 11:30


CEGE will organize the next Markets & Policy Seminar by Sónia Silva (University of Minho), on “The Wealth Effects of Takeover Bids Regulation in the European Union”. The seminar will take place on February 1st, between 11.30 am and 12.30 pm in room EAA001.

Abstract
We investigate the wealth effects of the Takeover Bids Directive, enacted by the EU, on M&As. The directive aims at protecting target minority shareholders by restricting antitakeovers provisions and preventing managerial entrenchment. We test the regulation impact using a treatment sample of EU public acquisitions and a control sample from outside the EU. Our results suggest diverse effects of the regulation across treatment countries: acquirers from countries with better shareholder protection engage in more value-enhancing acquisitions post-regulation that could otherwise be too costly. The regulation also increases the likelihood of firms becoming targets and raises market value.

CEDH Learning Coffee “Mental health, violence and social determinants of health”

28.02.2024 14:30 — 28.02.2024 16:30


In this session, I will present my research path, which has been dedicated to studying mental health outcomes, interpersonal violence, social determinants of health, and the links between these three areas. I will also briefly explain the project that I intend to develop at UCP, related to the study of gender stereotypes and their relationship with violent behavior.

With Diogo Costa. 

CBQF/LAE Research Seminar "Dairy Lipids as Biomarkers of Health"

01.02.2024 14:30
Edifício de Biotecnologia / Biotechnology Building


The CBQF/LAE Research Seminar “Dairy Lipids as Biomarkers of Health” with Javier Fontecha, from Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL, CSIC), Autonomous University of Madrid, will take place on February 1st, at 2:30 pm, in Arménio Miranda Auditorium, in the Biotechnology Building.
 

Presentation summary
Polar lipids (PL), widely distributed in all tissues, play an important role in metabolism due to their structural function, as cell signaling molecules, or to generate precursors. Dietary intake of polar lipids is frequently associated with the prevention and amelioration of cardiovascular disease, liver disease, immune responses, and cognitive disorders. Although PL are widely found in foods, milk and dairy products have significant amounts (0.2-1 g PL /100 g fat) and, unlike vegetable lecithins, contain a variety of phospho- and sphingolipids such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol, and sphingomyelin. Our group pioneered the development and evaluation of a milk-fat globule membrane (MFGM)-enriched dietary supplement for the prevention of age-related mild cognitive impairment through preclinical studies in aged rats and adults over 65 years of age. This dietary supplement exhibited high bioavailability as determined by lipidomic analysis and behavioral changes related to emotional memory. The results suggest that the intake of a dietary supplement rich in MFGM, in combination with a balanced diet and physical activity, can be considered a non-pharmacological preventive and therapeutic intervention for mild cognitive impairment in the elderly. However, these studies are a first step for future work where the dosage of intake and its effects on behavior need to be determined.

Short biographical note

Javier Fontecha

PhD in Biochemistry, is a permanent Scientific Researcher at the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL, CSIC) at the Autonomous University of Madrid. He is currently the head of the Food Lipid Biomarkers and Health Group.
His research focuses on understanding the role of food lipids, especially those with high biological activity such as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Omega-3 fatty acids, and phospho- and sphingolipids (from MFGM), in relation to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, improvement of cognitive development of infants, and age-related mild cognitive impairment. In recent years, his group has introduced the concept of “biomarker of health”. Over the last decade, they have initiated pioneering research on MFGM, optimizing protocols to improve the isolation of MFGM-enriched fractions, investigating key components such as characteristic polar lipids and other highly bioactive molecules such as cerebrosides and gangliosides, and developing high-resolution chromatographic procedures for the quantification and identification of these components. He is also conducting in vitro and in vivo dietary interventions in close collaboration with other groups and hospitals. The research impact of his group has garnered attention, leading to the development of several projects and R&D+i contracts and patents.
