A Quinta da Costa, em Mouquim, recebe por estes dias, a segunda edição do Jazz na Aldeia, promovido pela Associação Luso-Galaica para a Promoção do Jazz – O Eixo do Jazz.
A iniciativa arrancou esta terça-feira, dia 1 de outubro, com uma residência artística coordenada por Mário Laginha, um dos maiores nomes do jazz em Portugal.
Para além das masterclasses com Mário Laginha que se prolongam até esta sexta-feira, a iniciativa vai ainda contar com três momentos musicais: uma Jam Session, na sexta-feira, a partir das 22h00; um concerto de jazz para crianças, no sábado, dia 5, às 16h00 e o concerto final – Concerto Jazz na Aldeia – no sábado, às 22h00, com Mário Laginha e os músicos residentes a mostrarem o resultado de uma semana de trabalho.
A Famalicão em Transição, a Campo Aberto, a Amigos de Mindelo de Defesa do Ambiente e a Amigos do Rio Ovelha deram origem ao Dia de Acção Comum pela Natureza, que pretende ser uma iniciativa nacional impulsionadora e incentivadora de alerta para a gravidade da situação ambiental.
Em Vila Nova de Famalicão, o Dia de Acção Comum pela Natureza decorre no dia 12 de outubro, com uma caminhada para descobrir o património natural, em Cavalões e Gondifelos.
O Dia de Acção Comum pela Natureza é gratuito e pretende juntar diversas associações e entidades a nível nacional para a criação de atividades em prol da defesa, conservação e da educação para a Natureza.
Os vários eventos já programados são de inscrição gratuita, contando já com mais de 11 associações ambientais espalhadas pelo país. As inscrições estão a decorrer, a cargo de cada associação promotora.
Pela segunda vez, o Agrupamento de Escolas D. Sancho I alcançou a menção mais elevada do “Selo Escola Saudável”, nível III (avançado), atribuído pela Direção Geral de Educação. Com este prémio foi reconhecido o mérito do agrupamento, que tem contribuído, através das suas práticas, para a promoção de relações interpessoais saudáveis, da saúde e do bem-estar de todos os elementos da comunidade educativa.
Na cerimónia de entrega do Selo Escola Saudável, que decorreu no dia 26 de setembro, na Escola Básica e Secundária do Cerco, no Porto, estiveram presentes a diretora do Agrupamento, Helena Pereira, e Lurdes Oliveira e Ana Santos, professoras da equipa PES.
O Selo Escola Saudável distingue os agrupamentos e escolas que se destacam na promoção da literacia em saúde, através de práticas de referência na adoção de estilos de vida saudáveis e que abordam a saúde de forma sistemática e integrada, inscrevendo essa política no projeto educativo.
A direção do Agrupamento agradece à comunidade educativa e deseja que este selo seja um estímulo à participação, empenho e compromisso de todos na construção de uma Escola Saudável.
Numa nota hoje emitida, a Direção-geral da Saúde (DGS) anuncia que as vacinas que estarão disponíveis este ano em Portugal são, pela primeira vez, tetravalentes, funcionando para quatro tipos de vírus da gripe (dois do tipo A e dois do tipo B).
Segundo a DGS, espera-se que estas vacinas tenham “maior abrangência em relação às vacinas trivalentes anteriormente utilizadas”.
“No SNS a vacina é gratuita para os cidadãos com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos, para pessoas residentes ou internadas em instituições, para pessoas com algumas doenças definidas, para profissionais de saúde do SNS e para os bombeiros”, esclarece a nota publicada no ‘site’ da DGS.
A autoridade de saúde recomenda a vacinação aos profissionais de saúde e outros prestadores de cuidados, incluindo os bombeiros, recordando que têm “maior probabilidade de exposição e de transmissão da gripe a pessoas com maior risco de complicações”.
Além das doses disponíveis no SNS, as vacinas estarão também nas farmácias comunitárias, mediante receita médica, que terá uma validade até 31 de dezembro.
Nos casos em que é gratuita e fortemente recomendada, como idosos, residentes em lares e alguns doentes crónicos, a vacina não necessita de receita médica e dispensa também pagamento de taxa moderadora.
A DGS recomenda ainda a vacina a pessoas entre os 60 e os 64 anos, bem como a grávidas.
A gripe é uma doença contagiosa e que geralmente se cura de forma espontânea. As complicações, quando surgem, ocorrem sobretudo em pessoas com doenças crónicas ou com mais de 65 anos.
A DGS considera a vacinação a melhor forma de prevenir as complicações graves e recomenda que as vacinas sejam administradas de preferência até final do ano.
O ministro português da Ciência, Manuel Heitor, disse à agência Lusa que “a primeira reunião do consórcio visou reforçar o plano de intervenção e tentar acelerar a instalação das máquinas – uma em Espanha, outra em Portugal – e reforçar a ideia da supercomputação verde”.
A instalação do segundo supercomputador em Vila Nova de Famalicão, onde já funciona a primeira máquina do género em Portugal, está prevista para o final de 2020.
O primeiro, conhecido como BOB em honra do seu criador, o investigador Robert Peterson, da universidade do Texas, nos EUA, está instalado na freguesia de Riba de Ave em fase de testes e deverá abrir ao público em janeiro do próximo ano.
Manuel Heitor acrescentou que os membros do consórcio, que se reuniram hoje em Espanha, querem aproveitar a parceria no âmbito do European High Performance Computing para “maximizar a produção de tecnologia europeia” em vez de recorrer a compra de tecnologia americana ou chinesa.
O objetivo da parceria é a instalação de um supercomputador em Barcelona e outro no centro de supercomputação avançada do Minho, em Oliveira Sta Maria.
Juntar-se-ão à rede de supercomputação europeia com o BOB, já um exemplo da supercomputação verde que pode ser útil para a busca da cura do cancro, identificação precoce de tumores, previsão do clima e alterações climáticas, ondas de calor ou de frio.
“Fechámos [acordo] na semana passada com mais duas autarquias – Mirandela e Felgueiras – e, neste momento, temos à volta de 25 municípios, que consideramos pouco dado o interesse que deveria haver a nível nacional em relação a esta matéria”, disse o bastonário da Orem dos Médicos Veterinários, Jorge Cid.
O responsável sublinhou ainda que, numa altura de campanha eleitoral – “quando alguns partidos defendem um serviço nacional de saúde para animais” –, o cheque veterinário “pode ser encarado como um serviço nacional de saúde para animais, feito de uma maneira diferente e sem grandes custos para o erário público”.
“Os veterinários ‘pro bono’ disponibilizam-se a dar o seu trabalho em prol dos animais errantes, nas esterilizações”, explicou Jorge Cid, frisando que as autarquias que aderirem pagam apenas o material usado na esterilização.
O projeto destina-se a animais em risco identificados pelas autarquias, nomeadamente no que se refere à vacinação, desparasitação e esterilização, bem como outros tratamentos e urgências 24 horas.
Jorge Cid diz ainda que a Ordem “foi ainda mais longe” ao estender os cuidados médicos veterinários às famílias carenciadas identificadas pela segurança social e que tenham animais domésticos, um serviço limitado a dois animais por família.
“Isto representa um custo ínfimo para as autarquias, que não terão de criar estruturas médicas próprias”, acrescentou.
Jorge Cid, que falava à agência Lusa na véspera do Dia do Médico Veterinário, que se assinala a 04 de outubro, considerou ainda “inexplicável e inaceitável” o facto de os médicos veterinários serem a única classe de profissionais de saúde obrigada a uma taxa máxima de IVA de 23%.
“É inexplicável como o próprio governo isentou as medicinas alternativas da taxa de IVA. Este serviço de veterinários é essencialmente saúde pública e é taxado a 23%, como se fosse um serviço de luxo”, disse Jorge Cid, que defende o fim da taxa de IVA nestes atos.
“Por um lado, fazem-se campanhas para as pessoas não abandonarem os seus animais e há regras – como os microchips e a vacina da raiva), mas por outro lado taxa-se a 23% como se fosse um serviço de luxo. É uma completa contradição”, acrescentou.

Store and/or access information on a device (397 seeking consent)
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Use limited data to select advertising (278 seeking consent, 96 using legitimate interest)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Create profiles for personalised advertising (294 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising (300 seeking consent)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Create profiles to personalise content (114 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Use profiles to select personalised content (107 seeking consent)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Measure advertising performance (300 seeking consent, 132 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Measure content performance (138 seeking consent, 56 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources (198 seeking consent, 67 using legitimate interest)
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Develop and improve services (200 seeking consent, 107 using legitimate interest)
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Use limited data to select content (62 seeking consent, 22 using legitimate interest)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
