Mapping high-risk areas for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria transmi...
Ferreira, Eduardo M; Cunha, Monica; Duarte, Elsa Leclerc; Mira, António; Pinto, Daniela; Mendes, Inês; Pereira, André C; Pinto, Tiago; Acevedo, PelayoIn many Mediterranean ecosystems, animal tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, an ecovar of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), is maintained by multi-host communities. It is hypothesised that interspecies transmission is mainly indirect via shared contaminated environments. Therefore, identifying spatial areas where MTBC bacteria occur and quantifying space use by susceptible hosts might hel...
Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Effects of Chloro-Cathinones: Toxic...
Gomes, Ana Patrícia; Ferro, Raquel; Pinto, Daniela; Silva, Joana; Alves, Celso; Pacheco, Rita; Gaspar, HelenaCathinones, a class of synthetic new psychoactive substances (NPSs), continue to emerge and pose public threats. Government control efforts often lead to the emergence of new isomers, which have adverse repercussions on NPSs identification and risk prediction. This work reports on the synthesis and structural characterization of twenty chloro-cathinones, including different isomers, to create analytical data to...
Occupational stress in community pharmacy professionals: a cross-sectional study
Pinto, Daniela; Oliveira, Kayabí; Almeida, Marta; Nascimento, Luís; Taboada Costa, XavierThe study of mental health in health professionals, including community pharmacy professionals, is relevant due to their continuous exposure to emotionally stressful situations. Work-related stress, burnout and intense routine significantly affect the quality of life. Objective: To assess the stress levels of pharmacy professionals in the Bragança and Lisbon districts, different regions from Portugal, analysing...
O impacto das medidas de suporte à aprendizagem, na aula de técnica de dança cl...
Pinto, DanielaO presente Relatório insere-se no âmbito do Mestrado em Ensino de Dança, da Escola Superior de Dança do Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, e visa a conclusão deste ciclo de estudos. O estágio decorreu na Academia de Música de Vilar do Paraíso, com uma turma do 8º ano de escolaridade do Ensino Básico, correspondente ao 4º ano no contexto do Ensino Artístico Especializado, no ano letivo de 2024/2025. O projeto cons...
Schools’ self-evaluation procedures relevant for primary and secondary schools:...
Mouraz, Ana; Beresova, Jana; Figueiredo, Carla; Sampaio, Marta; Vancova, Hana; Pinto, DanielaThe significance of schools' self-evaluation is intrinsically linked to their autonomy and responsibility in interpreting and executing educational tasks. However, this authority is influenced by both European and national policies. This paper aims to compare the policies and practices underlying the process of school self-evaluation in Slovakia and Portugal. Employing a qualitative approach rooted in comparati...
Using technology as a support for autism spectrum disorder
Coelho, Cátia; Faias, Joaquim; Pinto, Daniela; Silva, Bruna; Curvelo, MarianaAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1 in 100 children worldwide. Early diagnosis and family-clinician collaboration are crucial for effective intervention. Families often face difficulties accessing clinical services due to distance or logistics. The rise of COVID-19 has catalyzed the use of telehealth, offering remote health services, and mHealth technologies. Although beneficial, technology i...
Rescue of Mycobacterium bovis DNA Obtained from Cultured Samples during Officia...
Pinto, Daniela; Themudo, Gonçalo; Pereira, André C.; Botelho, Ana; Cunha, Mónica V.Epidemiological surveillance of animal tuberculosis (TB) based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium bovis has recently gained track due to its high resolution to identify infection sources, characterize the pathogen population structure, and facilitate contact tracing. However, the workflow from bacterial isolation to sequence data analysis has several technical challenges that may severely impact ...
First time whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium bovis from the environment ...
Pereira, André C.; Pinto, Daniela; Cunha, Mónica V.Spreading of Mycobacterium bovis causing animal tuberculosis (TB) at livestock-wildlife-environment interfaces remains a significant problem. Recently, we provided evidence of widespread environmental contamination of an endemic animal TB setting with viable and dormant M. bovis cells able to recover metabolic activity, making indirect transmission via environmental contamination plausible. We now report the fi...
Systematic SARS-CoV-2 S-gene sequencing in wastewater samples enables early lin...
Reis, Ana C.; Pinto, Daniela; Monteiro, Sílvia; Santos, Ricardo; Martins, João Vieira; Sousa, Alexandra; Páscoa, Rute; Lourinho, Rita; Cunha, Mónica V.As the COVID-19 pandemic reached its peak, many countries implemented genomic surveillance systems to track the evolution and transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Transition from the pandemic to the endemic phase prioritized alternative testing strategies to maintain effective epidemic surveillance at the population level, with less intensive sequencing efforts. One such promising approach was Wastewater-Based Surveilla...
Self-regulated learning in secondary school: students' self-feedback in a peer ...
Torres, Ana Cristina; Duarte, Marina; Pinto, Daniela; Mouraz, AnaSelf-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for fostering learner autonomy and lifelong learning skills. The article focuses on observation as a trigger of student self-feedback and self-reflection towards the development of SRL. A student peer observation programme, co-designed and piloted by teachers and researchers in two Portuguese public secondary schools is introduced, including its theoretical and methodolo...
