Ordem dos Psicólogos Portugueses (OPP)
This document is a contribution from the Portuguese Psychologists Association (OPP – Ordem dos Psicólogos Portugueses) to the debate on Artificial Intelligence, the definition of the main concepts associated with it, the scientific evidence that supports the area, its advantages, risks and applicability.
OPP considers it pertinent to contribute to the discussion on the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, considering that recognising their singularities, with regard to advantages and challenges, is fundamental to ensure that these technologies are safe, transparent and work for the development and well-being of people and communities. AI is currently used in a range of contexts, including healthcare, employment and justice, guiding decision-making that has practical implications for people’s lives.
Children also keep their eyes open for victims of war
By Philippe Thito and illustrated by Anna Sarvira
Most of the Ukrainian victims of war who take refuge in EU countries are women and children. And these children go to school in their host community, with it becoming one of the first points of contact between the local population and the refugees.
The book ‘The Girl Who Kept Her Eyes Open’ aims to raise awareness among children (7-10 years old) and adults (parents and teachers) of the problems suffered by people fleeing war and their rights.
Through the story of a Ukrainian refugee child meeting a particularly observant little girl in her new school, it shows the importance of paying attention to others in order to recognize the victims of crime - in this case, the victims of war-related crimes - and offer them support The book has already been translated into 13 EU languages, with more to come.
This sixth edition of Key figures on Europe follows on from the success of previous years’ publication. It aims to provide intuitive visualisations, innovative data presentations and more concise text, so users can rapidly obtain an understanding of differences between Member States.
How does the brain—a three-pound wrinkly mass—give rise to intelligence and conscious experience? Was Freud right that we are all plagued by forbidden sexual desires? What is the function of emotions such as disgust, gratitude, and shame? Renowned psychologist Paul Bloom answers these questions and many more in Psych, his riveting new book about the science of the mind.
Psych is an expert and passionate guide to the most intimate aspects of our nature, serving up the equivalent of a serious university course while being funny, engaging, and full of memorable anecdotes. But Psych is much more than a comprehensive overview of the field of psychology. Bloom reveals what psychology can tell us about the most pressing moral and political issues of our time—including belief in conspiracy theories, the role of genes in explaining human differences, and the nature of prejudice and hatred.
Bloom also shows how psychology can give us practical insights into important issues—from the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety to the best way to lead happy and fulfilling lives. Psych is an engrossing guide to the most important topic there is: it is the story of us.
