ABSTRACT: Altitudinal gradients offer powerful natural frameworks to investigate how environmental factors shape biodiversity, especially on young oceanic volcanic islands where short spatial distances encompass sharp climatic transitions. This study documents bryophyte diversity and examines how elevation, substrate, and environmental variables influence the structure of bryophyte communities on Flores Island ...
ABSTRACT: A bryophyte diversity survey was carried out from July 29 to 1 August 2013, in Santa Cruz das Flores, Flores Island (Azores) (39.471185 N Latitude; -31.184692 W Longitude), along an elevational gradient (70, 200, 400, 600 and 800 m a.s.l.). The study employed the Global Island Monitoring Scheme (GIMS) protocol for bryophytes. At each elevation level, three replicates of six substrates colonised by bry...
Systematic studies on the biodiversity of bryophytes along elevational gradients have been conductuted within the native vegetation of the Azores, using the MOVECLIM framework. The primary objective of this study was to inventory the bryophytes present within preserved areas of native vegetation in Terceira Island (Azores). From 25 to 28 September 2012, an inventory of the bryoflora was carried out along an ele...
Background In September 2012, a comprehensive survey of Pico Island was conducted along an elevational transect, starting at Manhenha (10 m a.s.l.) and culminating at the Pico Mountain caldera (2200 m a.s.l.). The primary objective was to systematically inventory the bryophytes inhabiting the best-preserved areas of native vegetation environments. Twelve sites were selected, each spaced at 200 m elevation inter...
Introdução: Os cuidadores geralmente não possuem conhecimentos e habilidades para prestar cuidados. Os enfermeiros têm um papel decisivo na qualidade dos cuidados e nos resultados na saúde das pessoas. A supervisão clínica do enfermeiro é um processo estratégico e formal que requer uma relação supervisiva coesa. Objetivo: Mapear as estratégias de supervisão utilizadas pelo enfermeiro na comunidade para promover...
Introduction: Caregivers do not usually have the knowledge and skills to provide care. Nurses have a decisive role in the quality of care and people's health outcomes. Clinical supervision of nurses is a strategic and formal process that requires a cohesive supervisory relationship. Objective: To map the supervisory strategies used by nurses in the community to promote the quality of care provided by caregivers...
[…]. A listéria é o agente patogénico responsável pela listeriose, uma infeção rara, mas grave nos seres humanos. Leite e produtos lácteos têm sido implicados na maioria dos surtos relatados de listeriose, embora o tratamento térmico elimine esta bactéria durante o processo de pasteurização. Isto indica que estes produtos podem ser contaminados em fases posteriores de produção. Desta forma, a contaminação do qu...
