Chronotype, Time of Day, and Children's Cognitive Performance in Remote Neurops...

Research on the influence of chronotype and time of day (TOD) on cognitive performance, especially in children, is limited. We explored potential interactive effects, hypothesizing that performance differs when comparing preferred vs. non-preferred TOD. In total, 76 morning-type (MT = 37) or evening-type (ET = 39) children from the third and fourth grades (48.7% girls; M age = 8.05; SD age = 0.51), identified t...

As hortas urbanas surgem como cogumelos – Vamos dar cartas?

As hortas urbanas estão na moda e, ao procurar entender esses espaços heterotópicos, surgem diversas questões a explorar, muitas delas alinhadas com os 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) propostos como metas 2030 pela ONU. A sessão completa que propomos (mesa redonda estendida à audiência) pretende explorar essa abrangência, partindo dos contributos das cinco oradoras que se complementam na const...

The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the cases of neonatal mastitis diagnosed and treated in a neonatal intermediate care unit between July 2000 and June 2020. Ten female neonates ...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Decreased Cytochrome c in Cell and Animal Models ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been described in many neurodegenerative disorders; however, there is less information regarding mitochondrial deficits in Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), a polyglutamine (polyQ) disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene. In the present study, we characterized the changes in mitochondrial function and biogenesis markers in two MJD models, CMVMJD135 (MJD135) transgenic...

Momentary emotional states in primary school children: combined effects of chro...

Synchrony effects regarding mood diurnal fluctuations (i.e., better mood at optimal and worse mood at suboptimal times-of-day, corresponding to the interaction between chronotype* time-of-day) have been studied in adolescents and adults. However, evidence in children is lacking. We investigated the interactive effect of chronotype and time-of-day on primary school children’s momentary emotional states, in a nat...

The aim of this article is thus to study the reasons, motivations and the main causes that lead peop...
