Resumo: Mental simulation theories of language comprehension propose that people automatically create mental representations of objects mentioned in sentences. Mental representation is often measured with the sentence-picture verification task, wherein participants first read a sentence that implies the object property (i.e., shape and orientation). Participants then respond to an image of an object by indicating whether it was an object from the sentence or not. Previous studies have shown matching advantages for shape, but findings concerning object orientation have not been robust across languages. This registered report investigated the match advantage of object orientation across 18 languages in nearly 4,000 participants. The preregistered analysis revealed no compelling evidence for a match advantage for orientation across languages. Additionally, the match advantage was not predicted by mental rotation scores. In light of these findings, we discuss the implications for current theory and methodology surrounding mental simulation.

Título próprio: Life-making on the line: Capitalist value, social reproduction, and the politics of call centre labour in Portugal Autoria: Matos, P. A. de. Resumo: This article explores how value is generated in the Portuguese call centre sector by examining its reliance on the commodification of socially and historically rooted reproductive capacities. Previous research on call centres has often focused on the disembedding, disembodiment, depersonalisation, and desubjectification of human linguistic agency, frequently neglecting the familial, educational, and moral infrastructures that make labour power both viable and exploitable. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, I argue that the extraction of value in this sector relies not only on linguistic output or emotional labour but also on historically embedded reproductive capacities, such as empathy, ethical judgment, and communicative skills. These capacities are shaped by intergenerational efforts aimed at social mobility and national modernisation. These reproductive investments, which are developed outside the wage relationship, are appropriated by capital through a labour regime that requires personalisation while enforcing standardisation. By integrating social reproduction theory with call centre studies, this article reframes call centres as critical sites where the tensions between production and reproduction become evident, contested, and productive of surplus value.

Título próprio: Sexuality and disability in Portugal: Perspectives from a disability rights activist movement Autoria: Pinho, A. R.; Vitorino, C.; Rodrigues, L.; Santos, D.; Nogueira, C.; Oliveira, J. M. de. Resumo: This study explores the intersection of disability and sexuality in Portugal through the experiences of a disability rights social collective. Historically, disability has been framed by models that often disregard sexuality, leading to the desexualisation and stigmatisation of disabled people. The Independent Living Movement, while addressing sexuality, reclaims self-determination and control over one’s life. The research was conducted with members of a feminist anti-ableist activist collective established in Portugal in 2020, selected for its critical approach to the intersection of gender and disability. Data collection between October 2023 and July 2024 occurred across three phases - initial exploratory interviews, semi-structured interviews, and collaborative discussion of preliminary findings. The discussions focused on models of disability, terminology, sexuality, corporalities, and the theoretical and practical aspects of support for the expression of sexuality. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic nalysis. Two central themes were developed: ‘multiple oppressions’ and ‘dissident bodies’, highlighting systemic barriers and resistance strategies to achieve sexual autonomy. Findings provide insights into the importance of inclusive public policies and intersectional frameworks, offering a situated perspective on how collective agency can promote sexual rights as a matter of social justice.

Título próprio: New demand goals for energy and climate resilience Autoria: Bento, N.; Grubler, A.; Nakicenovic, N. Resumo: Current climate goals, insufficient to deliver net-zero emissions by 2050, overlook an underutilized lever of climate action: energy demand (1). Traditional energy goals tend to focus on energy supply—primary inputs harnessed from nature—rather than final energy, such as the electricity and fuels delivered to provide services including mobility and thermal comfort. The issue is not lack of interest in demand but the absence of operational, politically legible goals and simple metrics for final energy use and services and for the direct economic and social benefits that they provide. Yet demand is changing: Electrification of end uses (e.g., electric vehicles and heat pumps) is reshaping final energy demand, and electricity-intensive services (e.g., data centers) are boosting loads in some regions. Demand is no longer a passive scenario outcome but a policy variable to steer. We propose integrated demand-side goals to complement supply pledges and advance efficiency, sustainability, and equity by 2035.
