Also, on the second semester of 2011, the activity of IDT, I.P. was defined by the instability caused by the announcement of the governmental decision to extinguish the IDT, I.P. on the context of the PREMAC (Plano de Redução e Melhoria da Administração Central) and the creation of a new structure within the Ministry of Health, SICAD – Directorate General for Intervention on Addictive Behaviours and Dependencies, in charge of planning and monitoring programs of reduction of use of psychoactive substances, prevention of addictive behaviours and reducing dependencies. The implementation of interventions will lie on the competence of the Regional Health Administrations (ARS). The mission of SICAD is to promote the reduction of use of psychoactive substances, the prevention of addictive behaviours and the reduction of dependencies. The external evaluation of the National Plan on Drugs and Drug Addiction 2005-2012 is taking place now and the final report will be presented in December 2012, which will include recommendations for the next policy cycle. The final report of the internal evaluation of both Plans (Drugs and Alcohol) will be presented by the end of 2012 for approval of the Inter-ministerial Council. Drug use in the general population and specific targeted-groups In the Strategic cycle initiated in 2005, were carried out several national epidemiological studies that allowed trend analysis and comparability of the national situation at the European and international context, namely in the general population (2007 and 2012, results not yet available for 2012), in prison population (2007), in school populations (2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011) and in the driving population (2008-2009). In the study conducted in 2007 in the Portuguese General Population (15-64), cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy were the illicit substances preferably used by the Portuguese with lifetime prevalence (at least one use experience) of 11,7% for cannabis, 1,9% for cocaine and 1,3% for ecstasy). Between 2001 and 2007, despite the increase in lifetime prevalence’s (of any illicit drug from 8% to 12%) it was verified a stability in the prevalence of use of any drug in the last month (2,5% in 2001 and 2007) and a decrease in continuity rates of use (of any drug passed from 44% to 31%). In 2007, Portugal was among the European the countries the one with the lowest prevalence of drug use with the exception of heroin. In the context of school populations, the results of national studies have shown that the use of drugs that had been increasing since the 90’s declined for the first time in 2006 and 2007, noting up in 2010 and 2011 again an increase of drug use in these populations, alerting to the need for investment in prevention. In all studies carried out in 2010 and 2011, cannabis remains the drug preferentially used (prevalence of lifetime use ranged from 2.3% in students from 13 years old and 29.7% in 18 years old), with values close to the prevalence of use of any drug (between 4.4% in students of 13 years and 31.2% in 18 years). Followed by IDT,I.P. 5 Summary prevalence of lifetime use far below, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines among younger students, and amphetamines, LSD and ecstasy among the older ones. Despite the increases registered in the prevalence of drug use between 2006/2007 and 2010/2011 especially cannabis but also other drugs such as LSD and amphetamines, the prevalence’s of use of any drug among younger students (13-15 years) remain lower (short) than the ones registered in 2001/2003. Despite the increase of drug use in this the end of strategic cycle, the perception of the risk of regular drug use among students increased, considering the Portuguese students more risky that use than the European average. Prevention During 2011, the intervention in the mission area of prevention followed the task to achieve the main strategic goals defined in previous years: prevent the beginning of psychoactive substance use, prevent the continue use and abuse

  • URBAN PROJECT | NÓ DO LUMIAR and the Lisbon Northwest Gateway
    URBAN PROJECT | NÓ DO LUMIAR and the Lisbon Northwest Gateway Gonçalo Duarte Pita Architecture Dissertation | Instituto Superior Técnico Coordinator: Prof. Carlos Moniz de Almeida Azenha Pereira da Cruz ABSTRACT The following report presents the work carried out for 2010/2012 Final Project course. The conducting element of this report is the impact road infrastructures may have, particularly when inserted in the urban context, whether they are generators of that context or the main cause of its frag- mentation. The mono-functionality of the road layout, which is a consequence of a mono-disciplinary approach to its conception, led to the incapacity of the structural road system to be part of the contem- porary city as an integrated actor of the urban space and therefore becoming an intrusive element. Supported by a reflection on road infrastructures, the goal of this report is to analyze the Lisbon struc- tural route consisting of Calçada de Carriche and Av. Padre Cruz. — the Northwest Gateway —, and the conception of a project on Nó do Lumiar, its main articulation point. Being one of Lisbon’s main gateways for centuries, the Northwest Gateway was responsible for defining the mobility structure of the North Ring when it was still part of the city’s periphery. Today, due to redefinitions of its route and section, it is an element of urban discontinuity along with other high performance roads as Eixo N-S and 2ª Circular. Nó do Lumiar is at this moment a dysfunctional urban centre due to the powerfull impact of its road system. Despite allowing an effective accessibility to automobiles on a broader range of the territory, its impact does not allow for a comfortable use of the space where it’s inserted, a space made up of elements of undeniable historic, patrimonial, cultural and administrative value.

PREVENTING DRUG-RELATED DEATHS AT MUSIC FESTIVALS: WHY THE “RAVE” ACT SHOULD BE AMENDED TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION FOR HARM REDUCTION SERVICES ROBIN MOHR INTRODUCTION Amid flashing lights and pulsing beats, nearly 100,000 electronic dance music fans attended Electric Zoo on New York’s Randall’s Island in August 2013.1 Unfortunately the party was cut short. Following the deaths of two young fans, the final day of the three-day music festival was can- celed at the request of city authorities.2 In separate incidents, Olivia Ro- tondo, a twenty-year-old University of New Hampshire student, and Jeffrey Russ, a twenty-three-year-old Syracuse University graduate,3 died after collapsing at Electric Zoo with high body temperatures.4 Toxicology results revealed that Ms.

DOUTORA LUÍSA CAPUCHO ARRUDA 2009 RESUMO Esta dissertação - Da Cidade ao Museu e do Museu à Cidade - consiste num projecto de exposição temporária a realizar no Museu Nacional do Azulejo, tendo como base a identificação prévia de núcleos azulejares da segunda metade do século XX inscritos na cidade de Lisboa. Esta exposição encontra-se organizada em quatro núcleos: o Núcleo I corresponde às obras em azulejo incluídas no espaço da Avenida Infante Santo; o Núcleo II abarca algumas intervenções de menção existentes nas estações do Metropolitano de Lisboa; o Núcleo III respeita às obras em suporte cerâmico do Parque das Nações e o Núcleo IV concerne a outras Obras de Referência que marcaram a cidade mas que não apresentam uma relação geográfica de proximidade. Todas as obras cerâmicas que integram os núcleos, como elementos de Arte Pública, encontram-se acessíveis a todos os cidadãos com uma marca autoral forte e constituem obras de referência no campo da azulejaria dos principais artistas portugueses. O principal objectivo da exposição é causar um efeito de proximidade no visitante para assim o manter sempre consciente do lugar de contexto dos revestimentos cerâmicos evocados e promover a sua observação in situ, ou seja remetê-lo de novo para o espaço da cidade.

It also undertakes research into the Collection and disseminates it through exhibitions and publications that are intended to serve as works of reference. The Museum has a programme of temporary exhibitions, which either comprise its own pieces or touch upon themes related with the Collection. As the works of art that make up the Collection have been produced by different cultures, the Museum maintains close and privileged relations with international collections. Both the Collection and the museum’s activities are publicised in a variety of ways, either through the Education Department, which develops projects and courses for young people, adolescents, adults and families, or through recourse to the new technologies, paying attention to the updating and improvement of the information provided through the Museum’s website. Its publishing activities are seen as an essential complement to the common aim: to attract more visitors to the Museum, encouraging them to take part in its activities and providing them with greater intellectual enrichment, whether through leisure or study. Temporary exhibitions “The ‘Greek Taste’. The Birth of Neoclassicism in France, 1750-1775” Organised by the Department of Decorative Arts of the Louvre Museum, the exhibition was first presented at the Royal Palace of Madrid, opening at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation on 14 February 2008 and remaining on public display until 4 May.
