Evaluating a reference model for SAV in urban areas
Pereira, A. R.; Portela, P.; Bicho, M.; da Silva, M. M.Previous work presented a reference model for shared autonomous vehicles in urban areas supported by a systematic literature review and topic modeling. The proposed reference model was then evaluated with two real-world demonstrations: the service provided by Waymo in Phoenix and another offered by Baidu in Beijing. In this paper, we present another evaluation based on a survey conducted with a group of potenti...
Complementary and alternative medicine legitimation efforts in a hostile enviro...
Bicho, M.; Nikolaeva, R.; Lages, C.This article explores complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) organisations’ legitimation efforts that face extra obstacles as they are subject to more than one institutional logics (hybrids) and operate in a contested organisational space (hostile environment). CAM organisations espouse the health and market logics and their practices are questioned at an institutional level. The study is conducted in Por...
Perceived success of hybrid microorganisations in a contested category
Bicho, M.; Nikolaeva, R.; Ferreira, F.; Lages, C.The organizational literature privileges objective performance indicators often selected by researchers. There is scarce research focusing on legitimacy-challenged hybrid and microorganizations and on perceived success under exigent conditions. To address this scarcity, this study, conducted among complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) microorganizations, explores success as a subjective measure originati...
Towards a Global Perspective of Environmental Health: Defining the Research Grou...
Virgolino, A.; Antunes, F.; Santos, O.; Costa, A.; Gaspar de Matos, M.; Bárbara, C.; Bicho, M.; Caneiras, C.; Sabino, Raquel; Núncio, Sofia; Matos, O.Environmental health is at the intersection between health and the environment. However, it still has a recent (and narrow) history as a scientific area, mainly addressing human biomonitoring and toxicological issues. Only recently additional environmental ‘layers’, other than the traditional chemical, biological and physical environmental determinants, have been considered. This broader perspective of environme...

Polimorfismos genéticos associados à hiperhomocisteinémia na diabetes tipo 2: c...
Bicho, M.; Valente, A.; Duarte, R.; Raposo, J.F.; Costa, H.S.Introdução: A hiperhomocisteinemia tem sido associada a polimorfismos genéticos das enzimas 5,10-metilenotetra-hidrofolato (MTHF) e cistatina-β-sintetase (CBS).
Biomarcadores cardiovasculares e da ingestão alimentar associados com a hiperte...
Valente, A.; Bicho, M.; Duarte, R.; Raposo, J.F.; Costa, H.S.INTRODUÇÃO: A diabetes é um fator de risco da hipertensão arterial. Conhecer e relacionar os níveis plasmáticos de diversos biomarcadores pode contribuir para prevenir e controlar a hipertensão arterial em diabéticos tipo 2. OBJECTIVO: Avaliar uma possível associação entre os níveis plasmáticos de biomarcadores cardiovasculares, stress oxidante e da ingestão alimentar com a hipertensão arterial em diabéticos co...
The effect of glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 polymorphisms on ascorbic aci...
Valente, A.; Bicho, M.; Santos, A.C.; Matos, A.; Duarte, R.; Raposo, J.F.; Costa, H.S.Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus have been associated with excessive production of reactive oxygen species. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) polymorphisms result in decreased or absent enzyme activity and altered oxidative stress. Meta-analyses have indicated that deletion of either GSTM1 or GSTT1 is associated with a significant increased risk of coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to evalua...
Characterization of portuguese centenarian eating habits, nutritional biomarker...
Silva, Alda Pereira da; Valente, A.; Chaves, C.; Matos, A.; Gil, A.; Santos, A. C.; Clara, J. P. Gorjão; Bicho, M.BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Eating habits may contribute to longevity. We characterized the eating habits and cardiovascular risk (CVR) biomarkers in Portuguese centenarians (CENT) compared to controls. METHODS AND RESULTS: Centenarians (n = 253), 100.26 ± 1.98 years, were compared with 268 controls (67.51 ± 3.25), low (LCR) and high (HCR) CVR (QRISK®2-2016). Anthropometric and body composition were evaluated by bioim...
