Alves Lopes, António; Casaca Carreira, João; Costa, D.; Badiola-Zabala, A.; Brottrager, B.; Wittkämper, D.; Molenaar, E.; Maric, F.; Kjønnerød, I. FjellIntroduction: Blended Intensive Programs (BIP) in higher education combine short-term mobility with online collaboration, fostering innovative learning and teaching methods. These initiatives facilitate joint curricular development among students, academics, and staff in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and empower students to develop innovative solutions to global health issues. This study evaluates the sel...

Effect of individual's characteristics on volatile organic compoounds profile a...
Slezakova, Klara; Cavaleiro-Rufo, J.; Esteves, F.; Costa, D.; Pereira, M.C.; Teixeira, J.P.; Madureira, J.Breath analysis using an electronic nose (eNose) is a technology for exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that has shown potential in the diagnosis of respiratory diseases. However, the effect of an individual’s characteristics in the exhaled VOCs profile is far from fully understood. This pilot study aimed to identify the relevant characteristics of participants that may influence the VOCs profiles by the...
Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) as bioindicators of heavy metal(loid) pollution
Jota Baptista, C.; Seixas, F.; Gonzalo-Orden, J. M.; Patinha, C.; Pato, P.; Ferreira da Silva, E.; Casero, M.; Brazio, E.; Brandão, R.; Costa, D.Background: Heavy metal(loid)s pollution is a One Health concern [1]. Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are promising candidates for biomonitoring programs, due to their habits, abundance, distribution and resilience [2]. Objective: This work aims to evaluate heavy metal(loid)s pollution, using E. europaeus as a bioindicator. Methods: Necropsies of 46 hedgehogs from three distinct rescue centres (CERVAS, LxCRAS a...

Caleça, T.; Honório, M.; Sousa, M.; Ribeiro, J.; Fortuna, A.; Silva, D. Neto da; Albuquerque, J.; Menezes, M.; Trabulo, C.; Costa, D.Perioperative chemotherapy (PCT) is the standard of care for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) in western countries. However, less than 60% of patients complete the adjuvant part of treatment due to postoperative complications, toxicity and disease progression (DP). This study aim is to evaluate if preoperative chemosensitivity (POCS) is associated with improved overall survival (OS) and disease free survi...
Proteção biológica de pragas e doenças
Figueiredo, E.; Godinho, Maria; Costa, D.; Costa, C. A.A protecao biológica de pragas e doencas abrange uma panóplia de agentes biológicos vivos. As substâncias quimicas de origem biológica (extraidas de microrganismos, plantas ou animals) ou mineral, apesar de extraídas de seres vivos ou da natureza são solucões quimicas. As autoras esclarecem as diterenças e “arrumam” os conceitos deste vasto leque de biosoluções agrícolas

Guiné, Raquel P. F.; Costa, D.; Celik, S.; Florença, Sofia De Guiné E; Ferreira, Manuela; Cardoso, Ana Paula; Cetin, S.; Costa, Cristina Amaro DaResumo: Os sistemas de agricultura biológica são sugeridos para substituir a agricultura convencional de forma a minimizar o impacto ambiental e preservar a biodiversidade. Pretendeu-se investigar as tendências dos consumidores e os hábitos de consumo de alimentos obtidos através da agricultura biológica em Portugal e na Turquia. Foi utilizado um inquérito por questionário online. Para o tratamento de dados, fo...
A life cycle inventory of microalgae-based biofuels production in an industrial...
Branco-Vieira, M.; Costa, D.; Mata, T.M.; Martins, A.A.; Freitas, M.A.V.; Caetano, NídiaMicroalgae have been reported as a promising alternative for biofuels production. However, the use of microalgae for biofuels is still a challenge due to the intense energy use and the generation of a significant amount of biomass residues in the process. In order to analyze the environmental impacts of different technological processes for the production of biodiesel from microalgae, several studies have been ...
