Tomato waste (TW) was employed as a sustainable source for the synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (Mw-HTC) method, aiming at its valorization. Several amines were used as nitrogen additives to enhance the fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of CDs, and a set of reaction conditions, including additive/TW mass ratio (0.04–0.32), dwell time (15–60 min), and t...
Objectives: Genetic and genomic tests are the cornerstone of personalized preventive approaches. Inconsistency in evaluating their clinical utility is often cited as a reason for their limited implementation in clinical practice. Previous reviews have primarily focused on theoretical frameworks used for clinical utility evaluations of genetic tests, rather than actual assessments and examined dimensions, rather...
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a proactive, evidence-based approach that integrates health considerations into decision-making across sectors to prevent adverse effects and promote health equity. While global interest in HIA is growing, its implementation varies by country. In Portugal, despite existing legal frameworks and some previous capacity-building efforts, HIA is not fully institutionalized, and its ...

Background/Objectives: Absenteeism refers to the frequent, often unplanned, absence from the workplace. This study examines the interrelations among job satisfaction, quality of life (QoL), and absenteeism among formal caregivers for elderly individuals. With the significant demographic shift toward an aging population, understanding these dynamics is increasingly important. Methods: A sample of 82 caregivers f...
The use of AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, has been widespread in recent years. Its application in education has been criticized by some and supported by others. In this article we present the case of a work carried out as part of a course unit in a computer science degree program in which the use of ChatGPT was not only encouraged but required. Students were asked to use this tool ethically and critically, com...
