Na Bacia Algarvia, sector ocidental de Sagres-Lagos encontra-se o registo tectonoestratigráfico de rifting, do Triásico (~220 Ma) ao Cretácico inferior terminal (Albiano, ~100Ma). As séries estratigráficas deste sector da Bacia Algarvia são condensadas, registando numa espessura inferior a 0.5 km o registo sedimentar Mesozóico local de 120 milhões de anos. Por oposição na Bacia offshore no Algarve Central o reg...
In the era of personalised medicine, tumour hypoxia (TH) is critical in radiotherapy (RT) response due to its role in tumour resistance. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) enables non-invasive assessment of TH and supports heterogeneous dose-escalation to hypoxic sub-volumes, improving treatment efficacy. This study explores Nuclear Medicine Technologists (NMT) and Radiotherapy Technologists (RTT) perceptions o...
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...
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...
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...
This work presents a data-driven framework for early detection of polymer melt instability in industrial injection moulding using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) time-series models. The study uses six months of continuous production data comprising approximately 280,000 injection cycles collected from a fully operational thermoplastic injection line. Because melt behaviour evolves gradually and conventional thres...
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...
