Addressing critical fungal pathogens under a one health perspective: key insigh...
Sabino, R.; Antunes, F.; Araújo, R.; Bezerra, A. R.; Brandão, J.; Carneiro, C.; Carvalho, Agostinho; Carvalho, D.; Conceição, I. C.; Cota Medeiros, F.Fungal infections have emerged as a significant public health concern, especially with the increasing incidence of severe mycoses caused by pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida auris, Candida albicans, and Cryptococcus neoformans. These fungi, listed as critical priorities by the World Health Organization, pose a heightened risk due to rising antifungal resistance and their severe impact on immunoco...
Promoting creative and critical thinking in mathematics: an exploratory study
Breda, A.; Cruz, C.The Japanese art of origami provides a rich context for designing exploratory mathematical activities for children and young people. By folding a simple sheet of paper, fascinating and surprising planar and spatial configurations emerge. Equally surprising is the unfolding process, which also produces striking patterns. The procedure of folding, unfolding, and folding again allows the exploration of interesting...
Interdisciplinarity: a pedagogical practice in the classrooms
Cruz, C.; Breda, A.The world is changing and, consequently, the young people need to acquire more sophisticated tools and skills to lead with the new societies’ challenges. In the curriculum of the Portuguese education system, in the profile of students leaving compulsory education, the critical thinking and creative thinking are pointed out as skills to be developed, as well as the capacity of interconnect different knowledge an...
Soft skills in math: non-formal learning contexts
Breda, A.; Cruz, C.Mathematics learning both in formal and non-formal contexts allows the acquisition and development of skills and knowledge, however, it is in the non-formal context that the promotion of students' motivation and interest in STEAM areas becomes relevant. As part of a Summer Academy 2022, a session was held with children from the 2nd cycle, aged between 10 and 12 years old, with the aim of promoting mathematical ...
Mathematics and emotions: an unlikely connection
Cruz, C.; Breda, A.Mathematics awakens emotions, some good, others not so much. Who has never felt frustration at not being able to reach the solution of a mathematical problem? And the dislike often felt in relation to Mathematics in the face of the constant inability to understand and apply mathematical concepts in the most varied situations? But Mathematics awakens many other emotions and good ones! Archimedes's cry "Eureka!" ...
Emotions triggered by children’s literature images
Breda, A.; Cruz, C.The role of images/illustrations in communicating meanings and triggering emotions assumes an increasingly relevant role in contemporary texts, regardless of the age group for which they are intended or the nature of the texts that host them. It is no coincidence that children's books are full of illustrations and that the image/text ratio decreases as the age group grows. The vast majority of children's books ...
ESG maturity: A software framework for the challenges of ESG data in investment
Cruz, C.; Matos, F.Given the rising demand for more transparent, consistent, and comprehensive non-financial information in investment, there is a need to provide more reliable, meaningful, and measurable ESG metrics, in a way that most frameworks cannot. Most established frameworks face difficulties and challenges in providing sustainability information to investors in a significant way, lacking in areas such as transparency, re...
Rare Case of Rickettsiosis Caused by Rickettsia monacensis, Portugal, 2021
de Sousa, R.; Santos, M. L.; Cruz, C.; Almeida, V.; Garrote, A. R.; Ramirez, F.; Seixas, D.; Manata, M.J.; Maltez, F.We report a case of rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia monacensis in an immunocompetent 67-year-old man in Portugal who had eschar, erythematous rash, and an attached Ixodes ricinus tick. Seroconversion and eschar biopsy led to confirmed diagnosis by PCR. Physicians should be aware of this rare rickettsiosis, especially in geographic regions with the vector.
