Mobile learning contributions to teaching and learning: the case of the Univers...
Antunes, D.; Batista, J.; Simões, D.Digital technologies are increasingly becoming a fundamental part of our lives and are widely used (Kemp, 2022a). In education, they increasingly emerge as facilitators of access to information, and have revolutionized the way students and teachers interact with each other. In addition, the evolution of mobile devices and their high use, specially by young adults, has given rise to the insertion of new educatio...
Project SELfit: training socio-emotional skills in a school environment in Porto
Malcata, F.; Rodrigues, A.; Machado, A.; Saraiva, M. T.; Antunes, D.Issue/Problem: Mental disorders are the main cause of years lived with disability (YLD) in 5-14-year-old people around the world, in Western Europe, and particularly in Portugal. Young people who experience anxiety during childhood have a 3,5-fold likelihood of suffering from depression or anxiety during adulthood. COVID-19 has aggravated this situation, namely regarding socio-emotional competencies. Descriptio...
The Role of AKT3 Copy Number Changes in Brain Abnormalities and Neurodevelopmen...
Lopes, F.; Torres, F.; Soares, G.; van Karnebeek, C.; Martins, C.; Antunes, D.; Silva, J.; Muttucomaroe, L.; Botelho, L.; Sousa, S.; Rendeiro, P.Microdeletions at 1q43-q44 have been described as resulting in a clinically recognizable phenotype of intellectual disability (ID), facial dysmorphisms and microcephaly (MIC). In contrast, the reciprocal microduplications of 1q43-q44 region have been less frequently reported and patients showed a variable phenotype, including macrocephaly. Reports of a large number of patients with copy number variations involv...
Qualitative evaluation of fruits from different Opuntia ficus indica ecotypes/c...
Miguel, M.G.; Gago, C.; Valente, R.; Guerreiro, A.; Antunes, D.; Manhita, Ana; Barrocas Dias, CristinaOpuntia ficus‐indica fruits have an important nutritional value and show several biological properties. This work studied the fruit physicochemical characteristics of two wild ecotypes (“Green” and “Orange”) and two cultivars (“Rossa” and “Gialla”) from Portugal. The results showed that the largest and heaviest fruits were those from ecotype “Orange,”, whereas the wild ecotype “Green” had fruits with firmer fle...

Sá Machado, R.; Perez Duque, M.; Almeida, S.; Cruz, I.; Sottomayor, A.; Almeida, I.; R Oliveira, J.; Antunes, D.A measles outbreak has been occurring in a healthcare setting in Porto, Portugal, since early March 2018, posing public health challenges for a central hospital and the community. Up to 22 April, 96 cases were confirmed, 67 in vaccinated healthcare workers, mostly between 18-39 years old. Following identification of the first cases, control measures were rapidly implemented. Concomitantly, other measles cases w...
Hyperprolinemia as a clue in the diagnosis of a patient with a psychiatric diso...
Duarte, M.; Moreira, A.; Antunes, D.; Ferreira, Cristina; Correia, Hildeberto; Sequeira, S.; Marques, M.Background: Over the last few years, microdeletions of the 22q11.2 region responsible for DiGeorge syndrome, or velocardiofacial syndrome, have been increasingly related to neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. These signs seem to be related to certain genes located in the hemideleted region as the proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and the catecholo-methyltransferase (COMT) genes...
Energy efficiency and appliance’s characteristics considered prior to purchase:...
Gaspar, R.; Antunes, D.This paper reports country differences in the consumer’s most considered characteristics when choosing electrical appliances, including the energy efficiency aspect. A survey was performed to store customers from 7 countries: Ireland; Germany; Portugal; Greece; Poland; Spain; Italy. Results showed consistency between countries in the top three characteristics considered: cost; quality; a balance between price a...
Redução de compostos fenólicos de resíduos de lagares de azeite utilizando cult...
Pereira, A.; Antunes, D.; Caldeira, A.Teresa; Marques da Silva, José Rafael; Arteiro, J. M.In this study, C. versicolor cultures were performed during 20 days with different RLA (olive mill wastes)subtracts, 50%, 75% and 100%. During this assay, samples were collected in regular time intervals, cell growth were evaluated and broth decolorization was observed. The organic matter and total phenolic compounds level in the culture broth showed a decrease in all RLA ratios. 50% and 75% RLA presented high ...
Hypomelanosis of Ito vs Pigmentary Mosaicism: a challenging diagnosis
Antunes, D.; Kay, T.; Cabete, J.; Marques, B.; Brito, F.; Correia, H.; Nunes, L.Introdution: Since 1952 several case reports and case series of Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) has described different associations with multiple extra cutaneous manifestations, being the neurological anomalies the most frequent and important ones. Methods: We report a 5-years-old girl, refered by dyschromia , minor dysmorphic features, strabism, ventricular septal heart defect and slight learning difficulties. The ...
Average consensus and gossip algorithms in networks with stochastic asymmetric ...
Antunes, D.; Silvestre, Daniel; Silvestre, C.We consider that a set of distributed agents desire to reach consensus on the average of their initial state values, while communicating with neighboring agents through a shared medium. This communication medium allows only one agent to transmit unidirectionally at a given time, which is true, e.g., in wireless networks. We address scenarios where the choice of agents that transmit and receive messages at each ...
