Board-level employee representation in Portugal: A process (slow) in the making
Costa, H.; Rego, R.A broad range of concepts can be applied to the theme of board-level employee representation (BLER): ‘labour/industrial/workplace democracy’ (Hyman 2016; Conchon and Waddington 2015; Stoleroff 2016); ‘labour participation’ (Conchon and Waddington 2015); co-management or codetermination; ‘representativeness’ (Costa and Rego 2021); and ‘information and consultation’ (Estanque et al. 2020), among others (see also ...
Enhancing primary prevention: the incremental predictive value of high-sensitiv...
Andraz, S.; Pereira, J. Massa; Costa, H.; Espirito Santo, M.; Hamann, L.; Fernandes, R.; Bispo, J.; Carvalho, D.; Bento, D.; Azevedo, P.; Mimoso, J.Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a global health challenge, prompting widespread use of conventional risk assessment tools (SCORE2 in Europe and the ASCVD Risk calculator in the United States) to guide preventive strategies. Emerging evidence indicates that high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hsTn) may refine risk stratification.
Outcomes of diabetic patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with aspiri...
Costa, H.; Espirito Santo, M.; Fernandes, R.; Carvalho, D.; Bispo, J.; Guedes, J.; Azevedo, P.; Vinhas, H.; Mimoso, J.; Jesus, I.The use of aspirin in primary prevention (PP) remains a matter of international debate. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients with high/very high cardiovascular (CV) risk, low dose aspirin may be considered for PP (class IIb, evidence level A) in european guidelines in the absence of hemorrhagic contraindication.
Minimum wage and financially distressed firms: Another one bites the dust
Alexandre, F.; Bação, P.; Cerejeira, J.; Costa, H.; Portela, M.Since late 2014, Portuguese Governments adopted ambitious minimum wage policies. Using linked employer-employee data, we provide an econometric evaluation of the impact of those policies. Our estimates suggest that minimum wage increases reduced employment growth and profitability, in particular for financially distressed firms. We also conclude that minimum wage increases had a positive impact on firms’ exit, ...

Climate change vulnerability of cetaceans in Macaronesia : Insights from a trai...
Sousa, Andrielly O.; Alves, François; Arranz, Patricia; Dinis, Ana; Fernandez, Marc; González García, L.; Morales, Manuel B.; Lettrich, Matthew D.Over the last decades global warming has caused an increase in ocean temperature, acidification and oxygen loss which has led to changes in nutrient cycling and primary production affecting marine species at multiple trophic levels. While knowledge about the impacts of climate change in cetacean's species is still scarce, practitioners and policymakers need information about the species at risk to guide the imp...
Chemical characterization of Sambucus nigra L. flowers aqueous extract and its ...
Ferreira-Santos, P.; Costa, H.; Salvador, Ângelo C.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.; Santos, Sónia A. O.; Rocha, Sílvia M.; Sousa, Ana MargaridaThe main goal of this study was to chemically characterize an aqueous S. nigra flower extract and validate it as a bioactive agent. The elderflower aqueous extraction was performed at different temperatures (50, 70 and 90 °C). The extract obtained at 90 °C exhibited the highest phenolic content and antiradical activity. Therefore, this extract was analyzed by GC-MS and HPLC-MS, which allowed the identification ...
