Unexpected Discovery of Hepatic and Ganglionic Tuberculosis in A Patient with A...

Tuberculosis is a systemic disease with various presentations, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis often poses a diagnostic challenge. This article describes the case of a 25-year-old woman from Nepal who presented with persistent abdominal pain associated with fever, asthenia, and anorexia. Investigations revealed multiple necrotic lymphadenopathies and intrahepatic fluid collections, suggesting abscesses. After m...

Exploring high-level petri nets for model-driven development of digital control...

While low-level Petri nets are common for discrete-event controllers, their capacity is limited. High-level nets of-fer greater potential within Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) for ensuring correctness throughout modeling, simulation, and implementation, but this is not fully realized. This work-in-progress paper presents an approach based on a particular class of high-level nets with a threefold objective: (1) ...

Capacity program of teachers in professional pedagogy for student-centred teach...

This document reports the objectives, contents, activities, methods, and recommendations related to Task 3.4 of the InovEAP project, entitled "Capacity Program for Teachers in Professional Pedagogy for Student-Centred Teaching and Learning and Strengthening Links Between Polytechnic Higher Education and Project Companies". As later detailed, the presented activities occurred between March 2022 and September 202...

Malnutrição: Uma Causa Subdiagnosticada de Síndrome de Wernicke

A síndrome de Wernicke é uma condição subdiagnosticada e frequentemente não identificada em vida. A principal causa é a perturbação do uso do álcool, no entanto existem outras menos comuns como a malnutrição, nomeadamente provocada por cirurgia bariátrica. As manifestações iniciais são habitualmente neurológicas e cursam com confusão, ataxia e oftalmoplegia. O diagnóstico é clínico, a confirmação laboratorial s...

Promoting water efficiency in a student residence as a contribution to sustaina...

In addition to the constraints on water availability caused by climatic factors, many urban areas face demographic and pollution phenomena that can affect the efficient supply of water to the population. Therefore, it is increasingly important to implement water efficiency measures, such as reducing consumption by installing water-efficient devices (e.g., taps, showers, and flushing cisterns), without neglectin...

Promoting water efficiency in a student residence as a contribution to sustaina...

This study presents the preliminary results of the “HydroSAAP” innovation project, promoted by a Higher Education Institution in the northeast of Portugal, and ongoing since May 2023. It aims to improve the management of water consumption in a student residence, while promoting technical and scientific knowledge about rainwater harvesting systems, still little explored in Portugal. The project phases are: (1) i...

Sokoban: An assignment for an object-oriented and GUI programming course

Motivating assignments is a well-known way to promote deeper learning in programming courses. As those assignments must also be aligned with the intended learning outcomes and preferably carry some novelty, the search for adequate assignments is permanent. This poster proposes a classical 2D one-person game that provides a solid basis for discussing and applying object-oriented concepts, GUI programming, and si...

Event-based modeling of input signal behaviors for discrete-event controllers

Controllers for discrete-event systems are commonly designed using state-based formalisms, like state diagrams and Petri nets. These formalisms are strongly supported by the concept of events, which, from an automation system perspective, can be associated with a simple change in the value of a signal or more complex behavioral evolutions of the signals. In this paper, the characterization of several types of e...

Promoting deep learning through a concept map-building collaborative activity i...

Programming courses focus heavily on problem-solving and coding practice. However, students also face numerous interrelated concepts that should be given more attention to foster more effective and comprehensive learning. Often, students only get an incomplete knowledge of those concepts and their relations as no adequate reflection is promoted or even seen as necessary. The result is a superficial surface lear...
