In the era of Industry 4.0, fault tolerance is essential for maintaining the robustness and resilience of industrial systems facing unforeseen or undesirable disturbances. Current methodologies for fault tolerance stages namely, detection, diagnosis, and recovery, do not correspond with the accelerated technological evolution pace over the past two decades. Driven by the advent of digital technologies such as I...
The reliability and robustness of cyber-physical systems (CPS) are critical aspects of the current industrial landscape. The high level of autonomous and distributed components associated with a large number of devices makes CPS prone to faults. Despite their importance and benefits, traditional fault tolerance methodologies, namely local and/or centralized, often overlook the potential benefits of collaboratio...
Presenteeism, characterized by going to work sick, has become increasingly prevalent in nursing, a profession with high social and interpersonal demands. It is associated with a deterioration of the health of nurses, a reduction in the excellence of care, and a decrease in safety for users. Burnout is related to stress and mental overload and is characterized by exhaustion and fatigue. Objective: To map the evi...
Our aim in this study was to analyze associations between the two manipulative tests of the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) battery and the Wall Drop Punt Kick & Catch (WDPK&C) motor task. One hundred and twelve early adolescents (60 boys; 52 girls; M age = 12.67, SD = 1.78 years) participated. Overall, strong correlations were found between the WDPK&C and the MCA manipulative tests, either separately (r = .8...
Sustainable development is an approach that must be applied to all areas within healthcare, especially those in constant technological development, such as nuclear medicine. The aim of this study was to scope the literature to identify knowledge gaps in the sustainable development of the nuclear medicine field. The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews was employed. A search strategy was condu...
In the context of its autonomisation as a political sector, the organisational structure of the entities under central supervision of Culture in Portugal has been reconfigured by legislative reforms, impacting their formal autonomy. The compilation of the legal diplomas that shaped these organisations between 1974-2022 and their graphic conversion into chronologies allows for a longitudinal analysis of this sec...
This study sought to assess the reliability of a manipulative eye–segmental (hand and foot) coordination task, known as the Wall Drop Punt Kick and Catch test (WDPK&C), over a period of two weeks. A total of forty-one children and adolescents, comprising 18 boys and 23 girls, with an average age of 10.2 years (SD = 1.62), were recruited for the assessment. Participants were given 30 seconds to execute as many b...
Neste artigo elabora-se uma análise, essencialmente conceptual, sobre as estratégias de desenvolvimento e os desafios enfrentados por territórios “em contração”, procurando partir de uma compreensão alargada dos fatores que explicam a configuração espacial na atual fase do capitalismo. Por um lado, revisita-se a literatura sobre o desenvolvimento regional e local, procurando questionar a evolução geral das teor...
