Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV), em particular a síndrome coronária aguda(SCA), continuam a ser uma das principais causas de morbilidade e mortalidade em todo o mundo. A resistência à insulina (RI) tem emergido como um fator determinante, embora frequentemente subvalorizado, no risco cardiovascular. O índice triglicerídeos-glicose (TyG) é um marcador simples e validado de RI, com potencial prognós...
ABSTRACT: The present study explores the contribution and benefits of a renewable energy based multigeneration prototype integrating a luminescent compound parabolic concentrator, a photovoltaic/thermal system and thermal storage using phase change materials. A numerical model was developed for assessing the energy performance of the prototype and the results are presented for three different European locations...
ABSTRACT: The present study focuses on the use of complementary numerical tools to support the development of a climate neutrality roadmap for Cascais, a coastal Portuguese city and one of the nine pilot cities in the Re-Value project. The results contribute to refining the roadmap and updating Cascais' long-term Territorial Transformation Plans to accelerate its journey to climate neutrality by 2050. For this,...
ABSTRACT: The importance of climate-neutral and smart cities was addressed by the European Commission (EU) through the financing program EU Missions, as a response to the urban and energy challenges to promote innovative solutions and strategies and to deliver tangible results by 2050. To manifest their Expressions of Interest to join the EU Cities Mission, several cities across Europe applied for funding to su...
A obra que se apresenta, surgiu após desenvolvimento de dois cursos de formação conducentes a microcredenciali, no âmbito da capacitação de equipas de profissionais de referência que trabalham quotidianamente com cuidadores informais e também da capacitação destes mesmos cuidadores. O desenvolvimento destes cursos decorreu após identificação de necessidades de formação especificas, pela Escola Superior de Saúde...
RESUMO: O Município de Cascais tem vindo a empenhar-se na mitigação das alterações climáticas, na proteção do ambiente e renaturalização de florestas e espaços verdes, no aumento da recolha seletiva e melhoria de processos de tratamento de resíduos, na melhoria da mobilidade, apostando na mobilidade suave combinada com zonas intermodais de ligação a transportes públicos, como os comboios e a rede gratuita de au...
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to develop three innovative decision support tools: (1) a scenario tool that enables users to interactively design scenarios of activity variables that support decarbonisation trajectories on a local scale; (2) a mitigation tool that translates scenarios into greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, taking into account the identification and prioritisation of the most innovative, cost-e...

This paper presents a systemic modeling for a PV system integrated into an electric grid. The modeling includes models for a DC–DC boost converter and a DC–AC two-level inverter. Classical or fuzzy PI controllers with pulse width modulation by space vector modulation associated with sliding mode control is used for controlling the PV system and power factor control is introduced at the output of the system. Com...
This paper is about a PV system linked to the electric grid by power electronic converters. The modeling for the converters emulates the association of a DC-DC boost with a twolevel power inverter in order to follow the performance of a testing commercial inverter employed on an experimental system. It is used pulse width modulation by sliding mode control associated with space vector modulation for control the...
