Neste capítulo de livro faz-se uma apresentação do estado da arte sobre a investigação de processo e de resultado em aconselhamento de carreira
A Teoria Life-Span/Life Space (LSA) foi desenvolvida a partir da suposição de que assumimos diferentes papéis ao longo do ciclo vital, fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da identidade vocacional. A maturidade para a escolha profissional é um dos processos identificados no desenvolvimento de carreira. No entanto, tomar decisões sobre a carreira constitui uma tarefa complexa ao lidar com muitas dúvidas. Por este...
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women, and a leading cause of death worldwide. Santolina chamaecyparissus L. is a plant with multiple health benefits, including anticancer and anti-diabetic properties. This study aimed to assess the chemopreventive effects of S. chamaecyparissus aqueous extract (SCE) in an animal model of mammary cancer. A total of 28 four-week-old female Wistar rats were divid...
Animals have been used for biomedical research since ancient times. Humane endpoints have been increasingly implemented during experimental protocols to prevent or alleviate animals’ suffering. Body temperature is an indicator of stress or anxiety. Infrared thermometer (IRT) and infrared thermal imaging camera (TIC) are commercially available for temperature measurement. This study aimed to determine mice and r...
Introduction Animal models play a crucial role in breast cancer research, in particular mice and rats, who develop mammary tumors that closely resemble their human counterparts. These models allow the study of mechanisms behind breast carcinogenesis, as well as the efficacy and safety of new, and potentially more effective and advantageous therapeutic approaches. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages o...

Featured Application Due to anthocyanins' potential as colorants, this anthocyanin-rich elderberry extract presents a healthier alternative to commercially available colorants and has the potential to be used at industry level. Sambucus nigra L., popularly known as elderberry, is renowned for its amazing therapeutic properties, as well as its uses as a food source, in nutraceuticals, and in traditional medicine...
The service sector is the key to economic growth and job creation in Brazil. Measure the quality of service provision is essential to the development of the sector. The growing phenomenon of social networking sites, and the grip of a major part of the population have this medium as an opportunity for understanding the consumer of services and how the window for observing their perception of the quality of servi...
This work describes the production and characterization of three-layer piezoelectric filaments using two different electrically conductive polymers. The filaments were produced in a filament extrusion line, equipped with a coextrusion die that enabled a coaxial arrangement for a three-layer filament. For the inner and outer layers two different electrically conductive compounds were used, and the middle layer w...
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is extensively studied due to its piezo-, pyro- and ferroelectric properties. These properties enable the use of this polymer in a number of applications either as sensor or actuator. PVDF is a semi-crystalline polymer and can crystallize in four different crystalline phases, called α, β, γ and δ. The β-phase presents the most interesting electroactive activity. These properties...
