Financial scarcity and cognitive functioning: a meta-analysis

Whereas several studies find that financial scarcity has a detrimental impact on cognitive functioning, some studies find no relationship and others even report beneficial effects. To shed light on this issue we conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between financial scarcity and cognitive functioning. We went beyond testing the direct relationship between these two concepts and looked at potential mode...

Influência das condições climáticas na fenologia do pessegueiro cv. 'Royal Time'

A fenologia estuda a morfologia dos diferentes estados do desenvolvimento das plantas e permite entender e datar o seu desenvolvimento, sendo particularmente importante nas espécies frutícolas, designadamente para o posicionamento das técnicas culturais a realizar ao longo do ciclo anual. Nas prunóideas de clima temperado, nas quais se inclui o pessegueiro, a cerejeira, a ameixeira e a amendoeira, o ciclo anual...

Condições climáticas durante o período de floração do pessegueiro (cv. Royal Ti...

Monitoring plant phenology has become a widespread methodology to monitor plant behaviour due to the increase, frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events. These extreme climatic events emphasise both plant susceptibility and farmers’ vulnerability, as the latter constantly face the need to change or adjust cultural operations on commercial orchards, since these events have important economic repercussio...

Cerebrospinal fluid leaks: endoscopic transnasal repair

Introduction: Cerebrospinal fluid leak (CSF) is characterized by the breakdown of all barriers that separate the subarachnoid space from the mucosa of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinus. The endoscopic transnasal techniques are nowadays a valid alternative for the repair of these anterior skull base defects. Matherial e Methods: Retrospective study considering all patients who underwent endoscopic transnasal C...

Supracricoid partial reconstructive laryngectomy with C.H.E.P. – Department exp...

For selected glottic and supraglottic cancers it is possible to perform conservation laryngeal surgery with supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCLP). Depending on the extension of surgical resection achieved reconstruction can be done by cricohyoidopexy (CHP) or Cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP). The possibility of speech preservation without a permanent stoma is an advantage in successful reconstructions, howeve...

Altered inorganic composition of enamel and dentin in mice teeth chronically ex...

Active volcanic environments pose a multifactorial stress challenge to local organisms, including the domestic mouse Mus musculus. Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis was used to determine the elemental composition of lower incisor enamel and dentin from Mus musculus inhabiting the hydrothermal field at Furnas volcano in the Azores (Portugal). Elemental concentration for Ca, P, Na and Cl was found to be signi...

Prevalence of Calodium hepaticum (Syn. Capillaria hepatica) in house mice (Mus ...

Calodium hepaticum (Syn. Capillaria hepatica) is a zoonotic liver nematode of mammals distributed worldwide. Rodents are believed to be the main reservoirs of this nematode. In this paper, prevalence of the parasite was analyzed in liver histological sections from 51 house mice (Mus musculus) caught in human-inhabited houses, from two localities (Furnas and Rabo de Peixe) on São Miguel island from the Azores ar...

Influence of a breakwater on nearby rocky intertidal community structure

It is widely recognised that coastal-defence structures generally affect the structure of the assemblages they support, yet their impact on adjacent systems has been largely ignored. Breakwaters modify the nearby physical environment (e.g. wave action) suggesting a local impact on biological parameters. In the present study, an ACI (After-Control-Impact) design was used to test the general hypothesis that the a...

Baseline metal concentrations in marine algae from São Miguel (Azores) under di...

"[...]. The aim of this study was to provide baseline levels of a selected pool of elements for intertidal algae that occur abundantly on rocky shores around São Miguel Island (Azores), and compare results from non-urban sites with those affected by urban development or by shallow water hydrothermal activity. Coastal shallow water hydrothermally active sites are not common around the Globe. Consequently, inform...
