Rehabilitation programs for people with post-stroke cognitive impairment: integ...
Antunes, Sandra; Campos, Célia; Barreto, Marta; Araújo, Patrícia; Rodrigues, TâniaIntroduction: Due to the high number of people with post-stroke cognitive impairment, there is a growing need to implement cognitive rehabilitation programs so that they can regain functionality. Objective: Identify the available evidence on cognitive rehabilitation programs for people with stroke. Methodology: Integrative literature review, carried out on the EBSCOhost aggregator, with predefined inclusion/exc...
Predicting attachment in Portuguese infants born very or extremely preterm: Und...
Antunes, Sandra; Maria João Alves; Inês Martelo; Marjorie Beeghly; Luísa Barros; Fuertes, MarinaA growing body of research shows that early attachment relationships are foundational for children's later developmental and psychosocial outcomes. However, findings are mixed regarding whether preterm birth predicts later attachment, but insecurity is generally more prevalent among infants at higher medical and/or social/familial risk. This longitudinal study aimed to identify specific relational, familial/dem...
Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens Circulating in Peri-Domestic Areas in Mainland P...
Moerbeck, Leonardo; Parreira, Ricardo; Szczotko, Magdalena; Seixas, Gonçalo; Velez, Rita; Dmitryjuk, Małgorzata; Santos, Ana Sofia; Domingos, AnaOver the years, tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) have garnered significant interest due to their medical, veterinary and economic importance. Additionally, TBPs have drawn attention to how these microorganisms interact with their own vectors, increasing the risk to human and animal infection of emerging and reemerging zoonoses. In this sense, ticks, which are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites, have a key role in ...

Standardised inventories of lepidopterans and odonates from Serra da Estrela Na...
Boieiro, Mário; Antunes, Sandra; Figueiredo, Hugo; Soares, Albano; Lopes, Ana; Monteiro, Eva; Garcia-Pereira, Patrícia; Rego, Carla; Conde, JoséBACKGROUND: Mountain insect biodiversity is unique, but is menaced by different drivers, particularly climate and land-use changes. In mainland Portugal, the highest mountain - Serra da Estrela - is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots, being classified as Natural Park since 1976. Many lepidopteran and odonate species, including rare and protected species, are known to occur in Serra da Estrela, but ...
Artistic Education: Citizenship Processes and Challenges
Antunes, Sandra; Ferreira, Joana; Matos , JoanaThe present article focuses on the principles, processes and practices in the scope of artistic and aesthetic education, which have been developed in the Curricular Unit (UC) of Plastic Arts II, of the 2nd year within the Degree in Basic Education, at Lisbon’s Polytechnic School of Education. Within the tutorship of agents aiming to take action as future interveners at the spheres of education, whether in forma...
Antibiotic consumption, illness, and maternal sensitivity in infants with a dis...
Fuertes, Marina; Faria, Anabela; Gonçalves, Joana L.; Antunes, Sandra; Dionisio, FranciscoPrior research found an association between mother–infant attachment and antibiotic use. Ambivalent-attached infants are more likely to take antibiotics than other infants, and their mothers tend to be less sensitive to their needs than most. This finding is important because it shows the association between psychological processes, early relationships, and health outcomes. We aim to learn about children with h...
Development and testing of microsatellite loci for the study of population gene...
Velez, Rita; De Meeûs, Thierry; Beati, Lorenza; Younsi, Hend; Zhioua, Elyes; Antunes, Sandra; Domingos, Ana; Ataíde Sampaio, Daniel; Carpinteiro, DinaIxodes ricinus is an important vector of several human and veterinary infectious agents. Its wide geographical distribution and permissive feeding behaviour have prompted earlier studies on its population genetics. Results were, nevertheless, not conclusive. Furthermore, no research has fully focused on the south-western distribution range of I. ricinus, where exchanges between European and North African popula...
Drivers of Insect Community Change along the Margins of Mountain Streams in Ser...
Ceia-Hasse, Ana; Boieiro, Mário; Soares, Albano; Antunes, Sandra; Figueiredo, Hugo; Rego, Carla; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Conde, José; Serrano, Artur R. M.Mountain ecosystems are important biodiversity hotspots and valuable natural laboratories to study community assembly processes. Here, we analyze the diversity patterns of butterflies and odonates in a mountainous area of high conservation value—Serra da Estrela Natural Park (Portugal)—and we assess the drivers of community change for each of the two insect groups. The butterflies and odonates were sampled alon...
The Association between Prematurity, Antibiotic Consumption, and Mother-Infant ...
Fuertes, Marina; Faria, Anabela; Gonçalves, Joana L.; Antunes, Sandra; Dionisio, FranciscoAntibiotics have individual and public-health drawbacks. Nevertheless, mother-infant attachment quality and maternal sensitivity are associated with antibiotic use. Ambivalent-attached infants are more likely to consume antibiotics than other infants. Conceivably, the emotional over-externalization of ambivalent-attached infants and maternal anxiety when infants are ill raise concerns in healthcare professional...
