I Know What I Have to Do, but I Don’t Do It”: The Relationship Between Knowledg...
Silva, Joana; Antunes, Cristina; Batista, Samanta; Braga, José Luís; Gomes, Angélica; Guedes, Rosa; Barbosa, Anabela; Forte, Pedro; Imaginário, CristinaThis study aims to analyze the correlation between healthcare professionals’ knowledge of hand hygiene protocols and their actual adherence to these practices. Specifically, we investigate whether higher knowledge levels correspond to better compliance, and we examine potential influencing factors such as professional role, gender, and prior training in infection control. Methods: A non-probabilistic, convenien...
Impact of social support and resilience on adaptation to university
Ledo, Jóni; Antunes, CristinaBackground: The transition from high school to university generates new challenges, which are not always easy to manage. In this context, factors such as resilience and perceived social support can facilitate this process. Objective: To analyze the relationship between perceived social support and resilience in the adaptation to university. Method: A total of 207 university students participated in the study, ...
Sleep parameters in postmenopausal women and their relationship with moderate-v...
Pereira, Risla Elisabete; Antunes, Cristina; Alves, Emília; Gabriel, Ronaldo; Moreira, Carlos; Moreira, HelenaMenopause is associated with decreased physical activity and sleep disturbances. Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality have been associated with an increased risk of falls, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It´s important to understand how physical activity influences sleep health in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to analyse the variation of sleep duration and quality as a function of mod...
Equilíbrio e Cognição: Intervenção Psicomotora em Idosos
Oliveira, Vanessa; Bodas, Ana Rita; Nóbrega , Diogo; Antunes, CristinaO envelhecimento é um processo progressivo e a diminuição do equilíbrio e alteração nas funções cognitivas são fatores de risco para quedas e dependência em idosos. Estudos indicam que a intervenção psicomotora pode melhorar o equilíbrio e a cognição nos adultos mais velhos. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o equilíbrio e as funções cognitivas em idosos institucionalizados e verificar se uma intervenção psic...
Beyond the green: assessing quarry restoration success through plant and beetle...
Mexia, Teresa; Antunes, Cristina; Nunes, Alice; Mira, António; Correia, Ana Isabel; Serrano, Artur; Correia, OtíliaIn assessing the effectiveness of ecological restoration actions, outcomes evaluation using a multi-taxa approach can greatly contribute to a clearer understanding of their success/failure. Since comprehensive biodiversity assessments are rarely possible, choosing taxa groups that are indicative of the ecosystem’s structural and functional recovery is of major importance. Our goal was to evaluate the success of...

Differential Impact of the Pinewood Nematode on Pinus Species Under Drought Con...
Estorninho, Mariana; Chozas, Sergio; Mendes, Angela; Colwell, Filipe; Abrantes, Isabel M. O.; Fonseca, Luís; Fernandes, Patrícia; Costa, CatarinaThe pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, responsible for the pine wilt disease (PWD), is a major threat to pine forests worldwide. Since forest mortality due to PWN might be exacerbated by climate, the concerns regarding PWD in the Mediterranean region are further emphasized by the projected scenarios of more drought events and higher temperatures. In this context, it is essential to better unde...

Water use partitioning of native and non‐native tree species in riparian ecosys...
Granda, Elena; Antunes, Cristina; Máguas, C.; Castro‐Díez, Pilar1. One of the suggested mechanisms behind the success of non- native plants in recipient ecosystems is competition avoidance with natives by means of differ-ent resource-use strategies, such as deeper water uptake under dry conditions.2. We aimed at evaluating water source partitioning between native and non- native tree species coexisting in central Spain floodplains; determining the dependency on drought stre...
Acorn isotopic composition: A new promising tool for authenticity maps of Monta...
Alegria, C.; Antunes, Cristina; GIOVANETTI, MANUELA; Abreu, M; Máguas, C.It is often overlooked that even food production is linked to the ecology of plants and animals. Living organisms respond to environmental short-and long-term variability: acknowledging this may help in the ultimate goal of valorizing a territory/product. We investigated acorns of the two main Quercus species of the Portuguese Montado, a main feed of the renown black Iberian pig. We tested their responses to an...
