Princípio da Autonomia na Gestão da Dor Física da Pessoa em Situação Paliativa
Costa, MafaldaA melhoria significativa da qualidade de vida e os avanços da medicina ao longo do tempo, sobretudo, do último século, trouxeram consigo importantes conquistas civilizacionais, dentre as quais merece destaque o aumento progressivo da esperança média de vida. Esta relevante conquista não é, porém, isenta dos seus próprios desafios, como sejam o envelhecimento crescente da população e o aumento da incidência de d...
CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT IN A WORK CONTEXT
Homem, Filipa; Caetano, Ana; Gomes, Andreia; Costa, Mafalda; Marcelino, Susana; Gonçalves, Lino; Ramos, DomingosCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Portugal and a major contributor to morbidity and disability. With an aging population and increased survival following initial cardiovascular events, the burden of disability-adjusted life years is expected to grow, posing a significant challenge for health systems (Ferreira & Macedo, 2017). In this context, the European Society of Cardiology recommen...
Analysis of green pigments: The case of Almada Negreiros maritime station mural...
Valadas, Sara; Vandenabeele, Peter; Gil, Milene; Frade, José Carlos; Vermeersch, Eva; Lycke, Silvia; Dias, Luís; Candeias, António; Costa, MafaldaIn 1949, Almada Negreiros painted at the maritime station of Rocha do Conde de Óbidos, in Lisbon, six monumental mural paintings, which are considered as his highest artistic achievement. On these paintings, he resorted to a bright colourful palette, which needs to be studied to support conservation and preservation of these artworks for future generations. Among the pigments under study within project ALMADA, ...
Science Applied to Modern Mural Painting Studies. Traditional Pigments and Inno...
Gil, Milene; Costa, Mafalda; Valadas, Sara; Cardoso, Ana Margarida; Helvaci, Yigit Zafer; Bhattacharya, Sriradha; Candeias, AntónioThis chapter reports the analytical study carried out on Almada Negreiros’ two working palettes in the public hall of the DN Building in 1939. Both palettes were hidden behind wooden cabinets and discovered in 1991 during conservation works. The first study carried out in 2021 focused on the identification of cadmium pigments. In phase 2, the goal was to extend the research to other colour materials to ascertai...
Try It Before You Buy It: A Non-Invasive Authenticity Assessment of a Purported...
Loncaric, Valentina; Barrulas, Pedro; González Bornay, José Miguel; Costa, MafaldaMuseums may acquire archaeological artefacts discovered by non-specialists or amateur archaeologists, holding the potential to promote the safeguarding of cultural heritage by integrating the local community in their activities. However, this also creates an opportunity for the fraudulent sale of modern forgeries presented as archaeological artefacts, resulting in the need for a critical assessment of the artef...
Seasonally resolved stratigraphy at Jwalapuram India shows regional surface war...
Jha, Gopesh; Costa, Mafalda; Tsoupra, Anna; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Kwiecien, Ola; Longman, Jack; Breitenbach, Sebastian F. M.; Ditchfield, PeterUnderstanding the nature and tempo of global environmental responses to the ∼74,000 BP (∼74 ka) Toba volcanic super-eruption is based primarily on historical analogies and climate models that lack ground-truthing in regions distal to eruptions. Here, we report the first proxy-based terrestrial record of the immediate environmental impact of the Younger Toba Tuff (YTT) eruption on the homininoccupied ecosystem i...
Improving Information on Over-looked Generalists: Occurrence and Mitochondrial ...
Colmonero-Costeira, Ivo; Djaló, Saidil Lamine; Nelson, Fernandes; Borges, Filipa; Aleixo-Pais, Isa G.; Gerini, Federica; Costa, Mafalda; Minhós, TâniaNon-threatened primates are often overlooked in conservation efforts despite their increasing vulnerability to local extirpation. Campbell’s (Cercopithecus campbelli) and green monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus) are sympatric medium-sized West African guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) whose intraspecific genetic diversity remains understudied in most of their distribution. Both species are ecological generalists and ar...
An Archaeometric Analysis of Black-Appearing Iron Age Glass Beads from Vinha da...
Lončarić, Valentina; Arruda, Ana Margarida; Barrulas, Pedro; Costa, MafaldaPhoenician colonisation of the Iberian Peninsula in the 1st millennium BCE introduced many novel and luxurious goods to the local populations of the Western Mediterranean. Among them, black-appearing glass beads are characteristic of indigenous female burials in Southern Portugal during the 6th century BCE. This study presents the results of the first comprehensive archaeometric investigation of black-appearing...
An Insight into the Green Deteriorated Paint Layers of the Maritime Station of ...
Gil, Milene; Costa, Mafalda; Dias, Luis; Frade, José Carlos; Vandenabeele, PeterThis study reports the first results of the analysis carried out in 2022 on deteriorated green paint layers from the mural paintings made by Almada Negreiros at the Maritime Station of Alcantara, in Lisbon (Portugal). These murals painted in 1945 are one of the most emblematic painting sets done by the modernist artist and exhibit a bright chromatic palette that displays different states of conservation, with t...
Chemical Composition of Hydrophobic Coating Solutions and Its Impact on Carbona...
Armal, Forough; Dias, Luis; Mirão, José; Pires, Vera; Sitzia, Fabio; Martins, Sérgio; Costa, Mafalda; Barrulas, PedroThe decay diagnosis and conservation of stone-built heritage is becoming a worldwide concern, especially when stone decay causes chromatic changes in the original stone aesthetics, which directly impacts its sociocultural value. Among all the causes of stone decay, water action is identified as the major cause of stone decay and chromatic changes in stone building materials; hence, protective eco-friendly hydro...
