Recommendations for the implementation of a national lung cancer screening prog...
Fernandes, M. G. O.; Dias, M.; Santos, R.; Ravara, S.; Fernandes, P.; Firmino-Machado, J.; Antunes, J. P.; Fernandes, O.; Madureira, A.; Hespanhol, V.Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) programs that use low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) have been shown to reduce LC mortality by up to 25 % and are considered cost-effective. The European Health Union has encouraged its Member States to explore the feasibility of LCS implementation in their respective countries. The task force conducted a com...
Public opinion about solar radiation management: A cross-cultural study in 20 c...
Contzen, N.; Perlaviciute, G.; Steg, L.; Reckels, S. C.; Alves, S.; Bidwell, D.; Böhm, G.; Bonaiuto, M.; Chou, L.-F.; Corral-Verdugo, V.; Dessi, F.Some argue that complementing climate change mitigation measures with solar radiation management (SRM) might prove a last resort to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. To make a socially responsible decision on whether to use SRM, it is important to consider also public opinion, across the globe and particularly in the Global South, which would face the greatest risks from both global warming and SRM. However, most...
The All4Children project to assess the initial implementation of the Integrated...
Baptista, J.; Grangeia, H.; Negrão, M.; Camilo, C.; Ornelas, S.; Nogueira, S.; Pastor, I.; Gaspar, A.; Soares, I.; Alves, S.Background The All4Children project addresses the urgent need to transition from institutionalization to family-based care for out-of-home children in Portugal. Despite evidence highlighting the detrimental effects of institutionalization, only a small percentage of children (less than 4%) are currently placed in family foster care in the country. In response to European directives for deinstitutionalization, P...
Improving non-small-cell lung cancer survival through molecular characterizatio...
Fernandes, M. G. O.; Vilariça, A. S.; Fernandes, B.; Camacho, C.; Saraiva, C.; Estevinho, F.; Bastos, H. Novais e; Lopes, J. M.; Fidalgo, P.The management of NSCLC remains challenging, and the integration of data from predictive biomarkers in routine clinical practice can contribute to an optimal, individualized patient approach, particularly given the rapid emergence of effective targeted therapies. When considering molecular biomarker testing, the choice of the biomarker panel, target population, testing approach, and turnaround time are key issu...
Framework for an inclusive-oriented pedagogical assessment
Silveira-Maia, M.; Sanches-Ferreira, Manuela; Alves, S.; Aguiar, T.; Bjorck, E.; Signhild, S.; Maxwell, G.; Neuenhausen, L.; Schleihs, D.; Proyer, M.This book resulted from the Work Package 1 (WP1) of the Inclusive Assessment Map project – so-called I AM project. I AM is an Erasmus+ funded project (Agreement No. 621435-EPP-1-2020-1-AT- EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN) that aims to develop – based on the Internacional Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) – an innovative assessment tool that provides teachers with guidance on...
O professor com deficiência física: Análise de riscos e proposta de intervenção
Marques, J.; Monteiro, M.; Navega, R.; Teixeira, R.; Alves, S.; Sousa, I. C.Enquadramento e principais objetivos do trabalho: O trabalho dos professores tem um valor incontestável devido ao contributo da educação para o desenvolvimento económico e social de qualquer nação. A profissão de professor é considerada de risco pela Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) desde a década de 80, em resultado das inúmeras mudanças sociais, culturais, políticas e económicas que ocorreram no sé...
Urinary biomonitoring in firefighters: baseline data of polycyclic aromatic hyd...
Barros, B.; Oliveira, M.; Paiva, M.; Fernandes, A.; Alves, S.; Vaz, J.; Esteves, F.; Slezakova, K.; Alves, M.J.; Madureira, J.; Pereira, M.C.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most relevant pollutants in the firefighting context and urine the most straightforward and interesting matrix for biomonitoring. Recent studies have found elevated levels of PAH metabolites in firefighters in comparison to the general population. Since Portuguese firefighters are poorly characterized, the aim of this study was to determine the baseline data...
Simulation strategies for dynamic and static behaviour of composite beams
Alves, Alexandra Manuela Vieira Cruz Pinto; Alves, S.; Peixinho, Nuno; Carneiro, V. H.; Mendonca, Joao Pedro; Rodrigues, O.Doors and windows represent a vital role in domestic energy efficiency, and multi-material beams with a thermal break can be fundamental in terms of energetic sustainability. Their static and dynamic structural performance is fundamental to ensure a proper thermal insulation. Two multi-material composite beam topologies were tested in a three-point bending, while one was subjected to an experimental frequency r...
