ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the technical performance of football teams in the FA Premier League during the 2015/2016 season. Data of twenty clubs over 38 matches for each club are considered using 23 variables. These variables have been explored in the football literature and address different features of technical performance. The different configuration of the data for teams in detached segments motivated the multi-criteria approach, which enables identification of strong and weak sectors in each segment. The uncertainty as to the outcome of football matches and the imprecision of the measures indicated the use of Composition of Probabilistic Preferences (CPP) to model the problem. “R” software was used in the modeling and computation. The CPP global scores obtained were more consistent with the final classification than those of other methods. CPP scores revealed different performances of particular groups of variables indicating aspects to be improved and explored.

Este artigo, enquadrado no âmbito da área da supervisão clinica, pretende identificar atributos para a qualidade da supervisão do ensino clinico de enfermagem em Saúde Mental. Constitui-se como um estudo de natureza qualitativa, recorrendo à perspetiva dos supervisores. Recorremos à entrevista semiestruturada como instrumento de colheita de dados. Os sete participantes que voluntariamente integraram o estudo foram selecionados de modo intencional. Os resultados revelaram diferentes categorias descritas em três áreas temáticas sendo elas a estrutura, o processo e o resultado. No âmbito da estrutura foram referidos os recursos organizacionais, recursos materiais e a formação dos intervenientes. No processo é referido, a importância das parcerias, as qualidades do supervisor, o papel do supervisor, os processos de supervisão e os seus contributos. Por último, o resultado no qual é referido os instrumentos de avaliação, momentos de avaliação, instrumentos para avaliar os recursos humanos. Este estudo pretende ser um contributo válido para refletir sobre os atributos necessários para a qualidade da supervisão.

This article framed within the area of clinical supervision, aims to identify attributes to the quality of supervision in the clinical teaching of mental health nursing. Is a qualitative study, using the perspective of supervisors. As a tool for collecting data we applied a semi-structured interview, the seven participants who voluntarily joined the study were selected intentionally. The results revealed different categories described in three thematic areas: structure, process and outcome. As part of the structure, were reported the organizational resources, material resources and the participants training. In the process they referred, the importance of partnerships, the qualities of the supervisor, the role of the supervisor and the supervisory processes and their contributions. Finally the result in which is referred the instruments of assessment, the evaluation periods and the instruments to measure human resources. This study intends to be a major contribution to reflect on the attributes required for the quality of supervision.

A razão do valor numérico do potencial de protecção, - 0,85 V relativamente ao eléctrodo de referência Cu|CuSO4(sat), utilizado para aplicação de uma protecção catódica a uma estrutura metálica (casco de navio, oleoduto ou gasoduto metálico, tanques de armazenamento enterrados, etc.), é discutida com base nos conceitos fundamentais da electroquímica.

A conductivity technique has been developed, being highly useful for studying the association behaviour of cyclodextrins (CDs) with surfactants. In this paper, the complexation of b-cyclodextrin with alkyl sulfonates and alkyl sulfates with different carbon chains (from 10 to 16) is analysed. The effect of the ionic head group in the most hydrophobic surfactant is also analysed. The association constants for 1:1 and 1:2 complexes are calculated on the basis of a second and a third degree equation; in the latter a real solution of a Cardin-Tartagliae formula is applied to solve the third degree equation.
