ABSTRACT
Abstract This article is organized around the axes migratory process, work, and quality of life. Two objectives were outlined: characterizing the socio-demographic aspects of Brazilian immigrant women in Portugal; and analyzing their situation and characteristics of work and quality of life. The study started from two working hypotheses: the first on the relation between unemployment and low quality of life; and the second on the relation between high workload and low quality of life of immigrant women. Cross-sectional study conducted from July to September 2016, in Portugal, with 682 Brazilian immigrant women over 18 years of age who lived in the country for more than 3 months. The instruments used were a socio-demographic questionnaire and the questionnaire 'Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey' (SF-36). The results showed a predominance of women in the age group from 18 to 38 years; married or living in a marriage-like relationship; with formal education mostly at the graduate level; with child(ren); and living in a family unit. The first study hypothesis was confirmed and the second study hypothesis was refuted.
Resumo Este artigo se organiza em torno dos eixos processo migratório, trabalho e qualidade de vida. Delinearam-se dois objetivos: caracterizar os aspectos sociodemográficos de imigrantes brasileiras em Portugal e analisar sua situação e suas características de trabalho e qualidade de vida. O trabalho partiu de duas hipóteses de trabalho: a primeira sobre a relação entre desemprego e baixa qualidade de vida e a segunda sobre a relação entre carga horária elevada e baixa qualidade de vida de mulheres imigrantes. Este estudo, transversal, foi conduzido de julho a setembro de 2016, em Portugal, com 682 imigrantes brasileiras maiores de 18 anos que viviam no país há mais de três meses. Os instrumentos utilizados foram um questionário sociodemográfico e o questionário Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36). Os resultados evidenciaram predominância de mulheres na faixa etária de 18 a 38 anos, casadas ou em união de fato, com escolaridade em maior proporção no nível de pós-graduação, com filho(s) e vivendo em uma composição familiar. A primeira hipótese de estudo foi confirmada e a segunda foi refutada.

RESUMO O artigo teve como objetivo avaliar a Qualidade de Vida (QV) de brasileiras vivendo em Portugal. O 'Medical Outcomes Study: 36-Item Short Form Survey' (SF-36) e um questionário sociodemográfico foram aplicados à amostra de 682 brasileiras maiores de 18 anos. Verificou-se que a média dos preditores de QV foi superior para a dimensão 'capacidade funcional'; enquanto as dimensões 'aspectos emocionais', 'saúde mental' e 'vitalidade' apresentaram valores menores. Constatou-se que os processos da migração e da QV constituem pauta de investigação contínua para a promoção da saúde no país de acolhimento.
ABSTRACT This article aims to evaluates the Quality of Life (QoL) of Brazilian women living in Portugal. The 'Medical Outcomes Study: 36-Item Short Form Survey' (SF-36) and a sociodemographic questionnaire were applied to the sample of 682 Brazilian women over 18 years old. The average values for the predictors of QoL were higher for the dimension 'functional capacity'; whereas 'emotional aspects', 'mental health', and 'vitality' showed lower values. It was found that the processes of migration and QoL constitute an agenda of continuous research for health promotion in the hosting country.
ABSTRACT
We present, in a synthetic way, some of the main findings from ten studies that were conducted in the field of ethics in politics, using the Functional Measurement framework. These studies were about (a) Angolan and Mozambican people's views about the legitimacy of military-humanitarian interventions, (b) French people's perspectives regarding the government's responsibility for the health of consumers of illicit substances, (c) Togolese people's views about the acceptability of political amnesties in a time of political transition, (d) the perspective of victims of the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda regarding the attribution of guilt by association to offspring of perpetrators, (e) slave descendants' views about the acceptability of national policies on reparations for slavery, (f) Colombian people's willingness to forgive perpetrators of violence who harmed family members during the civil war, (g) the attitudes of French and Colombian people about national drug control policies, (h) Indian students' views about the appropriateness of the death penalty for murder or rape, (i) Colombian people's perspectives regarding corruption, and finally (j) Venezuelan people's conceptualization of human rights. The main findings are discussed in reference to six of the foundations of Moral Foundations Theory.

Estos estudios trataron de: (a) los puntos de vista de la gente de Angola y Mozambique sobre la legitimidad de las intervenciones militares-humanitaria; (b) las perspectivas de los franceses con respecto a la responsabilidad del gobierno con la salud de los consumidores de sustancias ilícitas; (c) las perspectivas de las personas de Togo acerca de la aceptabilidad de amnistías políticas en un momento de transición política; (d) las perspectivas de las víctimas del genocidio de los Tutsis en Ruanda en cuanto a la atribución de culpabilidad a los descendientes de los perpetradores de violencia; (e) los puntos de vista de los descendientes de esclavos acerca de la aceptabilidad de las políticas nacionales de reparaciones por la esclavitud; (f) la disposición de los colombianos a perdonar autores de la violencia que causaron daño a miembros de la familia durante el conflicto armado interno; (g) las actitudes de los franceses y colombianos acerca de las políticas nacionales de control de drogas; (h) los puntos de vista de los estudiantes indios acerca de la idoneidad de la pena de muerte por asesinato o violación; (i) las perspectivas de los colombianos con respecto a la corrupción, y, finalmente, (j) la conceptualización de los derechos humanos en la población venezolana. Los principales resultados se discuten en relación con seis de los fundamentos de la Teoría de los Fundamentos Morales.
ABSTRACT
The study examined, using confirmatory factor analyses, the three-factor structure of the Disposition to Seek Forgiveness Questionnaire - inability in seeking forgiveness, sensitivity to circumstances before seeking forgiveness, and unconditional seeking of forgiveness - among samples from Latin America (Brazil), Africa (Angola and Mozambique), Asia (Indonesia), and Southern Europe (Portugal). It was found that this ternary structure has cross-cultural generality.
El estudio examinó la estructura factorial del Disposition to Seek Forgiveness Questionnaire a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio -incapacidad de pedir perdón, sensibilidad a las circunstancias antes de pedir perdón y petición incondicional de perdón- en muestras de América Latina (Brasil), África (Angola y Mozambique), Asia (Indonesia) y Europa del Sur (Portugal). En cada una de las muestra se encontró la misma estructura de tres factores.

Los procesos mentales y la experiencia mental no son la misma cosa. Los primeros son las operaciones de la mente, la otra es la vida subjetiva que emerge de dichas operaciones. En la evaluación social, las actitudes implícitas y explícitas expresan esta distinción. El sitio https://implicit.harvard.edu fue creado para ofrecer experiencia con la Prueba de Asociación Implícita (IAT por sus siglas en inglés), un procedimiento diseñado para medir el conocimiento social que puede operar por fuera de la conciencia. En este trabajo examinamos las relaciones entre el IAT y medidas explícitas. 143 estudiantes de la Universidad de Porto completaron medidas para este estudio. Los resultados muestran que: a) las preferencias implícitas son penetrantes, y b) las actitudes implícitas se relacionan débilmente.
Mental processing and mental experience is not the same thing. The former is the operation of the mind; the latter is the subjective life that emerges from these operations. In social evaluation, implicit and explicit attitudes express this distinction. https://implicit.harvard.edu/ was created to provide experience with the Implicit Association Test (IAT) a procedure designed to measure social knowledge that may operate outside of awareness. In this paper we examined the relationships between the Implicit Association Test, and explicit measures. One hundred and forty three Psychology college students from University of Porto completed measures for this study. Results suggest that (a) implicit preferences are pervasive, and (b) implicit and explicit attitudes are weakly related.
