Climate walking: A comparison study of mobile weather stations and their releva...

Microclimate conditions affect the outdoor urban way of life for humans. These conditions directly impact people’s health and well-being, such as access to medical care or a healthy lifestyle. Human thermal comfort is paramount for people’s health, both physical and mental. In this paper, the study compares two microclimate mobile weather stations (MWS) based on a set of users’-based assessment criteria (usabil...

Protein hydrolysates from Tenebrio molitor and Hermetia illucens as novel food ...

There has been a growing interest in insect meals as a sustainable alternative protein source for animal food and feed. In parallel, insect hydrolysates have been investigated in vitro for their bioactive properties, but the impact of dietary inclusion on dog’s nutritional parameters needs to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and bioactive properties of four insect hydrolysate...

Telework and work intensity: Insights from an exploratory study in Portugal dur...

The expansion of teleworking and the digital transition movement have given companies and workers great flexibility, albeit with significant organisational consequences. The recent COVID-19 pandemic further reinforced the scale of this impact. Thus, the current research aims to understand whether the multiple dimensions of telework have impacted upon workers’ time management and work intensity through the unpre...

The effect of telework on emotional exhaustion and task performance via work ov...

This study developed a framework that explains how and when telework is related to emotional exhaustion and task performance, by conceiving work overload as a mediator and self-leadership as a moderator. We conducted two studies. Study 1 aimed to understand whether telework would be related to emotional exhaustion and task performance and if work overload would mediate such relationships. Study 2 analyzed wheth...

Exploring the functional features of melon peel flour for healthier bakery prod...

The use of fruit by-products to develop new food products could be an advantageous approach to meet the demand for healthy foods and reduce food waste. In this study, the amino acid and mineral profiles of melon peel flour were evaluated. Non-essential/toxic elements were also determined. Furthermore, two formulations (biscuit and muffin) were developed with 50% and 100% melon peel flour, respectively. The bioa...
