Soil Health: The Foundation for Ecosystems, Climate Regulation, and Food Security
Filipe, Susana; Sousa, J.P.; Guedes, P.; Branco, P.; Guerra, C.Soil forms the basis of essential ecosystem functions and plays a fundamental role for society, the environment and the economy. Soil health plays a vital role in the preservation and recovery of biodiversity and supports climate regulation by storing and sequestering carbon. Soil is also essential in retaining and purifying water and managing floods and droughts. The importance of soil health extends to mainta...
Fishways in Portugal: status, main findings and research needs
Santos, J.M.; Quaresma, A.L.; Romão, F.; Amaral, S.D.; Mameri, D.; Santo, M.; Bochechas, J.; Telhado, A.; Godinho, F.N.; Pádua, J.; Pinheiro, P.J.Anthropogenic barriers fragment Portuguese rivers, threatening endemic freshwater fish communities. This study compiled national inventories and peer-reviewed research (2002–2024) to quantify fishway implementation, evolution and typology, while evaluating fish performance from published research. One hundred fishways built between 1950 and 2024 were recorded, half of which were constructed after the implementa...
Empatia vs e-Empatia
Fonseca, S.; Teixeira, R.; Branco, P.A educação é um elemento-chave para reduzir os riscos criados pela crise social no contexto de (pós)pandemia. Assim, a educação emocional e social, ao promover fatores como a empatia, é essencial para lidar com as graves consequências da pandemia e dos seus efeitos nas desigualdades sociais.
Resting-state connectivity reveals a role for sensorimotor systems in vocal emo...
Correia, A. I.; Branco, P.; Martins, M.; Reis, A. M.; Martins, N.; Castro, S.; Lima, C. F.Voices are a primary source of emotional information in everyday interactions. Being able to process non-verbal vocal emotional cues, namely those embedded in speech prosody, impacts on our behaviour and communication. Extant research has delineated the role of temporal and inferior frontal brain regions for vocal emotional processing. A growing number of studies also suggest the involvement of the motor system...
Importância das aprendizagens em contexto de trabalho: o caso da indústria cons...
Guimarães, Fernando; Guimarães, Paula; Gameiro, José; Ramos, Ana; Branco, P.Diversos autores têm apontado a importância que os modos de organização de trabalho possuem na educação e formação dos trabalhadores, desde os modos de inspiração taylorista, caraterísticos de indústrias de mão de obra intensiva, até formas que muitos designam de pós-tayloristas. A educação e formação dos trabalhadores da indústria conserveira, de características tayloristas, merecem particular atenção nesta co...
Smart mail – a smart platform for mail management
Raminhos, R.; Coutinho, E.; Miranda, N.; Barbas, M.; Branco, P.; Gonçalves, Teresa; Palma, G.Email is a key communication format in a digital world, both for professional and/or personal usage. Exchanged messages (both human and automatically generated) have reached such a volume that processing them can be a great challenge for human users that try to do it on a daily basis and in an efficient manner. In fact, a significant amount of their time is spent searching and getting context information (norma...
Dimensional changes of impression materials after 6 months storage period
Branco, P.; Martins, F.; Saraiva, F.; Machuca, M. C.; Maurício, P.Introdução: O sucesso da reabilitação oral depende da precisão e da reprodutibilidade das impressões. Objetivo: Estudar as alterações dimensionais de um poliéter e silicone de adição submetidos a desinfeção e esterilização após um longo período de armazenamento.

Effects of acute bleeding followed by hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 or a crystall...
Silva, A.; Ortiz, A.; Venâncio, C.; Souza, A.; Ferreira, L.; Branco, P.; de Pinho, P.; Amorim, P.; Ferreira, D.Bleeding changes the haemodynamics, compromising organ perfusion. In this study, the effects of bleeding followed by replacement with hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) or lactated Ringer's (LR) on cerebral oxygenation and electroencephalogram-derived parameters were investigated. Twelve young pigs under propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia were bled 30 mL/kg and, after a 20-minute waiting period, volume replacemen...
Use of electromyogram telemetry to assess the behavior of the Iberian barbel (L...
Alexandre, C.M.; Quintella, B.R.; Silva, A.T.; Mateus, C.S.; Romão, F.; Branco, P.; Ferreira, M.T.; Almeida, P.R.Decline in fish species populations due to river regulation by dams and weirs promoted the development of fishways, which are becoming one of the most common measures for the restoration of connectivity in rivers. Fishways efficiency can be species specific and thus monitoring and evaluation, and subsequent adjustments to design and hydraulic features, are required to inform potential users prior to installatio...
