Skin Prick Testing in a Portuguese Pediatric Population: A Multicenter Cross-Se...
Lima Ferreira, Manuel; Nogueira Oliveira, João; Pinto, Mariana; Oliveira, Arménia; Guimarães, Paulo; Azevedo, Aida; Almeida, Filipa; Carvalho, FernandaIntroduction: Allergic diseases, particularly allergic rhinitis and asthma are highly prevalent among children and adolescents and frequently associated with sensitization to inhalant allergens. However, recent data on sensitization profiles in the Portuguese pediatric population are scarce, especially regarding regional and demographic variability. In this context, we aimed to characterize the clinical and all...
Increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma based on solar ultraviolet radiation ...
Paulo, Marília Silva; Castela, Maria Miguel; Strehl, Claudine; Carvalho, Fernanda; Loney, Tom; Modenese, Alberto; Gobba, FabriziomariaIntroduction: Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is one of the main causes of skin cancer, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being particularly prevalent among outdoor workers due to chronic UVR exposure. Despite the increasing incidence of SCC in this group, cases remain under-reported and are not always classified as an occupational disease. Current guidelines for UVR exposure are established for a limit of 3...
COP30 — Da Amazónia ao Atlântico: A floresta respira, o oceano responde.
Carvalho, Fernanda; Meirelles, Maria Gabriela; Henriques, Diamantino; Vasconcelos, Helena CristinaEm novembro de 2025, a cidade de Belém do Pará, no coração da Amazónia brasileira, foi palco de um dos momentos mais decisivos da diplomacia climática: a 30.ª Conferência das Partes das Nações Unidas sobre Mudança Climática (COP30). A escolha do local foi mais do que simbólica; constituiu uma declaração política e ecológica. Pela primeira vez, a cimeira climática global foi realizada numa região de floresta tro...
The materials of historical monuments: characterisation of the mortars of the R...
Carvalho, Fernanda; Lima, Maria Margarida Rolim Augusto; Silva, Teresa; Veiga, João PedroABSTRACT: The Zaghouan-Carthage Roman aqueduct was the largest built by the Roman Empire at the time, and its archaeological remains bear witness to the excellence of Roman construction. Its importance over the centuries makes it a unique case study for characterising the different types of mortar used. This work aims to study these materials, considering their functions, especially as structural elements or as...
Vinyl- and Polyurethane-Coated Fabrics in Fashion Collections
Ferreira, Joana Tomás; Rizzo, Adriana; Ferreira, Gisela; Carvalho, Fernanda; Macário, David; França de Sá, SusanaCoated fabrics featuring plasticised poly(vinyl chloride) (p-PVC) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) coatings are widespread in fashion collections. These materials pose significant conservation challenges due to their production and chemical variability, coupled with issues of rapid deterioration. Despite their prevalence and instability, systematic research on their composition and ageing behaviour remains ...

Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation among outdoor workers in L...
Carvalho, Fernanda; Strehl, Claudine; Barroso-Dias, Jorge; Castela, Maria Miguel; Gobba, Fabriziomaria; Lapão, Luís Velez; Loney, TomIntroduction: Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary external factor associated with the development of skin cancer. Accurate, valid, and reliable objective estimates of individual UVR exposure are required to quantify the risk of skin cancer in outdoor workers. Such data can be used to develop and implement policies and practices to reduce, or at least manage, UVR exposure in outdoor workers...
Cor e Técnica na Cerâmica de Revestimento Medieval: o Caso dos Ladrilhos Cister...
Carvalho, Fernanda; Coentro, Susana; Alves, Luís Cerqueira; Silva, Rui C.; Relvas, Cátia; Ferreira, Teresa; Mirão, José; Trindade, Rui A.Founded in 1153, the Monastery of Alcobaça reflects the original values of the Order of Cister through its elegant architecture. The glazed tiles that once coated the floor of the apse worked as a rare decorative element through the patterns created with their different colours and shapes. Considered 13th-century originals, these are some of the first examples of architectural glazed tiles in Portugal. The main...
Projeções Climáticas para os Açores: Avaliação da Temperatura do Ar sob Diferen...
Henriques, Diamantino; Carvalho, Fernanda; Meirelles, Gabriela; Vasconcelos, HelenaEm pequenas regiões insulares, a influência das mudanças climáticas assume uma relevância particular. No arquipélago dos Açores, composto por nove ilhas, as circunstâncias geográficas, a condição oceânica, a dispersão territorial, o modelo de uso da terra e outras restrições impostas pelas características físicas da região, como relevo, clima e hidrografia reforçam e aumentam a vulnerabilidade das ilhas a mudan...
Assessing climate change and health provisions among staff in higher education ...
Leal Filho, Walter; Dinis, M. A. P.; Lange Salvia, Amanda; Sierra, Javier; Vasconcelos, Helena; Henderson-Wilson, Claire; Diatta, SamoClimate change can have direct and indirect effects on human health. Direct effects can include an increase in extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and floods, as well as an increase in the spread of vector-borne and infectious diseases, which may lead to a set of health problems and diseases. Indirect effects can include changes in air quality, water availability, and food production and distribution. The...
