The Historical Construction of Vulnerability and Disasters on Madeira Island, Portugal (1800-2015)
The concept of vulnerability redefined the manner in which disasters are theorized and interpreted, from geophysical events to sociocultural constructions. At the same time, understanding vulnerability became critical to orient disaster risk reduction strategies. Still, there is one major shortcoming of this concept, that is, the lack of integration of the temporal dimension, and in particular, the historical context, in the theorization and analysis of vulnerability. Therefore, this dissertation focuses on the contextualization of vulnerability from a historical perspective. Grounded on a political ecological theoretical framework, this study investigates a period of 215 years (1800-2015) i...
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
The Lancer name conjures up many different images. For some, it evokes memories of the first generation cars, introduced in 1973, which fought with the best on the Safari Rally and came out the victors. Others will remember the second generation models especially the turbocharged versions, the original Mitsubishi wolf in sheep s clothing and who could not be aware of the Evolution (Evo) series, launched in 1992?

When anxiety is more persistent (as a trait) there is an increased risk of psychopathology. Because anxiety encompasses a set of physiologic, behavioural and cognitive responses, recent self-report measures have been developed as to reflect these different dimensions (specifically, cognitive and somatic anxiety). However, no study has yet investigated whether these dimensions are reflected in differentiated patterns of response (subjective reports and psychophysiology, respectively). ObjectivesTo asse...
