The?World Day of Social Justice, celebrated annually on?February 20, is a United Nations initiative that promotes efforts to tackle issues such as?poverty, inequality, human rights, and fair labor practices. It highlights the need for?social justice in economic, social, and environmental policies?to create a more inclusive and equitable world. ???Why is it Important?

?? Dia Mundial da Luta Contra o Cancro: A Importancia da Preven??o e do Diagnóstico Precoce No Dia Mundial da Luta Contra o Cancro, refletimos sobre o impacto desta doen?a em Portugal e a necessidade urgente de preven??o e diagnóstico precoce. Os números s?o claros: combater o cancro exige um compromisso coletivo. ?? Indicadores-chave em Portugal Incidência e Mortalidade: - Em 2022, Portugal registou 677 novos casos de cancro por 100.000 homens e 460 novos casos por 100.000 mulheres, sendo o cancro da próstata, mama, colorretal e pulmonar os mais comuns. - A taxa de mortalidade padronizada pela idade foi de 226 mortes por 100.000 habitantes, um valor ligeiramente inferior à média da UE (-4%). - O cancro é a segunda principal causa de morte em Portugal, correspondendo a 23% dos óbitos em 2021. - Prevê-se que o número de novos casos de cancro aumente 12% até 2030 e 20% até 2040, superando a média da UE. Fatores de Risco: - Tabagismo: Em 2019, 14% da popula??o portuguesa fumava diariamente, sendo a prevalência de 20% entre os homens e 9% entre as mulheres. - Consumo de álcool: Em 2019, o consumo médio de álcool foi de 10 litros per capita, e em 2020, 16 novos casos de cancro por 100.000 pessoas foram atribuídos ao consumo de álcool. - Obesidade e Sedentarismo: Em 2022, 53% dos adultos portugueses tinham excesso de peso ou obesidade, um valor ligeiramente superior à média da UE (51%). ??? Medidas de Preven??o ?? Rastreios: - Em 2022, a taxa de rastreio do cancro da mama atingiu 50% e a do cancro do colo do útero 60%. Contudo, o rastreio do cancro colorretal apresenta uma taxa reduzida de apenas 14%, com grandes disparidades regionais. ?? Vacina??o contra o HPV: - Portugal apresenta uma das maiores coberturas vacinais contra o HPV da UE, um fator essencial para prevenir cancros associados ao vírus do papiloma humano. ?? Estilos de Vida Saudáveis: - Redu??o do consumo de tabaco e álcool. - Alimenta??o equilibrada e rica em fibras. - Prática regular de atividade física. ?? Desafios no Acesso ao Tratamento - Apesar do aumento dos recursos oncológicos, 50% dos equipamentos de radioterapia já ultrapassaram a sua vida útil ideal, havendo também atrasos na comparticipa??o de medicamentos. - Prevê-se que o ?nus global do cancro represente 4,2% das despesas de saúde entre 2023 e 2050, refor?ando a necessidade de investir na preven??o e no tratamento eficaz. Apesar dos progressos registados, as desigualdades no acesso à preven??o e tratamento continuam a ser um desafio. A luta contra o cancro é um desafio global que exige a participa??o de todos. Pequenas mudan?as nos nossos hábitos podem fazer uma grande diferen?a. Vamos juntos refor?ar a preven??o e incentivar o diagnóstico precoce! #CrabTechnologies #DiaMundialDoCancro #Preven??o #Saúde #Portugal Fonte: OECD/European Commission (2025),?Perfil sobre cancro por país: Portugal 2025, OECD Publishing, Paris,?https://lnkd.in/dfjkNTbd.

?? Data Privacy Day: A Reminder to Safeguard What Matters Most Today, on?Data Privacy Day, we’re reminded of the importance of protecting personal and organizational data in an increasingly connected world.

This day commemorates the signing of?Convention 108?in 1981, the first legally binding international treaty on data protection. It serves as a global call to action to reflect on how we handle and safeguard sensitive information. This treaty laid the foundation for modern data protection laws worldwide, influencing frameworks like the?GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)?in the European Union. Did you know? ?? By 2025, global data volume is expected to reach?175 zettabytes. ?? Nearly?93% of organizations?have faced data breaches due to weak security measures. ????Only 25% of consumers?feel confident in how businesses manage their personal data. How to Improve Your Data Protection Policy 1???Understand Legal Requirements: Align with GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant regulations. Stay updated on changes. 2?? Strengthen Access Controls: Limit access based on roles, enforce MFA, and monitor activity logs. 3???Use Robust Encryption: Encrypt data at rest and in transit to secure sensitive information. 4???Train Your Workforce: Educate employees on phishing, social engineering, and secure data handling practices. 5???Monitor and Review Regularly: Test your policies, perform vulnerability scans, and gather feedback for improvement. 6???Create a Breach Response Plan: Have a clear plan for notifying stakeholders and recovering from breaches. ?

??Blue Monday: Understanding and Overcoming the "Most Depressing Day of the Year" ? Today marks “Blue Monday”, often referred to as the "most depressing day of the year." Coined in 2005 by psychologist Dr. Cliff Arnall, this term originated as part of a marketing campaign—but the feelings it describes resonate widely. Blue Monday highlights the challenges many people face during January: a mix of post-holiday fatigue, mounting financial pressures, unfulfilled resolutions, and gloomy weather.?Let’s dive into the data and explore how this period affects mental health, productivity, and overall well-being. ?? Understanding the Broader Context:? - Mental Health Trends: In January, demand for mental health support spikes by nearly 30%. A study found that 64% of people feel more tired, stressed, or unmotivated in January compared to other months. - Workplace Productivity: Surveys suggest that employee engagement drops by 15-20% in January, with Blue Monday being a notable low point. A lack of motivation and energy often accompanies the return to post-holiday routines. - Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):?A condition tied to reduced daylight, which affects?5-10% of the population, SAD underscores the physical and psychological toll of darker days. - Economic Strains: Spending during the holiday season means January sees a spike in financial anxiety for millions worldwide. In fact, one-third of people in the U.S. report money worries as a leading cause of stress in January. ?? What This Means: Blue Monday isn’t just a "concept", it reflects deeper societal challenges that surface at the start of the year, it’s a reminder to take stock of how we’re feeling—and to support one another through seasonal lows. ?? How to Navigate This Day and Season: 1. Acknowledge Your Emotions: It’s okay to feel low—name it, don’t shame it. 2. Focus on Connection: Spend time with friends, family, or colleagues. A simple conversation can be uplifting. 3. Set Realistic Goals: Break down larger resolutions into smaller, actionable steps to regain a sense of achievement. 4. Lean Into Nature: Research shows that spending even 10 minutes outdoors can reduce stress by 20%, as light can help reduce the effects of SAD. 5. Get Moving: Exercise releases endorphins, the body's natural mood elevators. Even a short walk can help.? 6. Encourage Workplace Well-Being: For leaders, today is a great opportunity to check in with your teams and foster an environment of support. ?? The Takeaway: Blue Monday reminds us of the importance of mental health awareness—not just for today but throughout the year. Whether it’s seeking professional help, offering support to a colleague, or simply taking a moment for yourself, small steps can make a big difference. ?? Let’s open up the conversation: How are you supporting yourself or your team this January? #CrabTechnologies #BlueMonday #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #SeasonalChallenges
