Comparação entre a parafina e a cera de abelha na impregnação e inclusão da téc...

A parafina é o meio de impregnação e inclusão de eleição devido às suas características inerentes e baixo custo, no entanto é uma substância que apresenta problemas ambientais e técnicos. Na tentativa de combater estas lacunas, e tendo em conta os resultados obtidos por Antony et al em tecidos orais e as suas semelhanças com a parafina, a cera de abelha surge como uma alternativa promissora. Objetivo do estudo:...

The role of sheltered habitats in biodiversity conservation of species sensitiv...

In the aftermath of 2019’ tropical cyclones Idai and Kenneth, we assessed ground beetle communities of the Gorongosa National Park (GNP) in Mozambique. The influence of habitat shelters, namely the buffering role of closed microhabitat conditions on Alpha diversity and community trait values during a long period of drought, was evaluated across the main habitat types of the park: miombo forests, mixed forests, ...

Uterine Niche: A Pathology to Consider

Uterine niche is a recess located in the anterior wall of the uterine isthmus, over the cesarean section scar. This condition is often asymptomatic, but it can be associated with symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain and secondary infertility. Endovaginal ultrasound is the first-line diagnostic method. Treatment includes hormonal methods or surgery, and surgical treatment seems to be the most ...

Absenteeism Among National Health Service Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic ...

The present study aimed to quantify and characterize the absenteeism rate among these healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal. This study used data from the Portuguese National Health Service Transparency Portal for the number of National Health...

Um homem de 20 anos recorreu ao Serviço de Urgência com dor pleurítica na região escapular direita. A dor surgiu após ...

Bridging the gap between field experiments and machine learning: the EC H2020 B...

Honey bee colonies have great societal and economic importance. The main challenge that beekeepers face is keeping bee colonies healthy under ever-changing environmental conditions. In the past two decades, beekeepers that manage colonies of Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) have become increasingly concerned by the presence of parasites and pathogens affecting the bees, the reduction in pollen and nectar ava...

Differences in the Diets of Female and Male Red Deer: The Meaning for Sexual Se...

Sexual segregation is a common phenomenon among animals, particularly dimorphic ones. Although widely addressed, the reasons and consequences of sexual segregation are still an important topic in need of better understanding. In this study, we mainly evaluate the diet composition and feeding behaviour of animals, which are related to the use of different habitats by the sexes, a special case of sexual segregati...

Red deer as a disperser of native, but not invasive plants' seeds

Inventory of tiger- and ground-beetles (Coleoptera, Caraboidea, Cicindelidae an...

The Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique) is one of the most emblematic protected areas in Africa, well known for its vertebrate biodiversity and restoration ecology efforts following the Mozambican civil war in 1992. The invertebrate biodiversity of Gorongosa National Park is still poorly studied, although the scarce information available indicates the existence of a rich number of species, namely in the case o...
