Higher education students and teachers lack the necessary information to monitor and analyse student performance with respect to the learning experience and autonomous work during the semester. This research is based on the need for continuous improvement of student learning monitoring for students and teachers. It aims to combine ontologies with a monitoring platform, creating new ways of structuring and visua...
Surfactants are tensioactive chemical compounds extensively used worldwide in a myriad of industrial sectors, being an essential part of our everyday lives. They are present in numerous products including cosmetics, detergents, fabric softeners, toothpaste, paints, among many others, and millions of tonnes of surfactants are manufactured every year. Most commercially available surfactants are non-renewable petr...
The concept of Microbial Dark Matter (MDM) refers to the wide biodiversity of yet-uncultivated microorganisms that can only be identified and studied by resorting to culture-independent techniques. These uncultured microbes are estimated to be dominant in all environments on Earth. The development of cutting-edge culture-independent techniques, including metagenomics, has helped to catalog the complexity and di...
The amount and diversity of data that organizations have to deal with, intensify the importance and challenges associated with data management. In this context, data catalogs play a significant role, as they are used as a tool to find and understand data. With the emergence of new approaches to storing and exploring data, such as Data Lake or Data Lakehouse, the requirements associated with building and maintai...
The Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) has endorsed Plan-S since early 2021 and it is working towards implementing its obligations. To ensure an effective fulfillment of its open science policies, FCT is implementing a new monitoring and compliance tool, that will enforce the compliance with Plan-S as well as the new FCT's open access (OA) policy. This paper details FCT's approach to impleme...
Através da primeira edição do Orçamento Participativo Portugal, o ano de 2017 viu nascer uma oportunidade para promover o envelhecimento ativo através de um projeto pioneiro em Portugal, intitulado “Grupos de Canto para Seniores”. Na conceção do programa deste projeto foram tidas em consideração recomendações teóricas e práticas consolidadas, baseadas em evidências empíricas, atendendo ainda ao parecer e à expe...

MOVIDA.eros platform is a rehabilitation program emerging from a partnership between academia and a central hospital in Portugal. The platform combines a mobile application and a web backoffice platform to presceibe and monitoring physical activity. The system also allows changes to be made to the prescription, depending on physical performance and physiological response. These changes are automatically updated...
The protection of critical engineering infrastructures is vital to today’s so- ciety, not only to ensure the maintenance of their services (e.g., water supply, energy production, transport), but also to avoid large-scale disasters. Therefore, technical and financial efforts are being continuously made to improve the safety control of large civil engineering structures like dams, bridges and nuclear facilities. ...
