Antibacterial and antioxidant performance of natural textile dyes for children’...

Children’s skin is highly sensitive and prone to irritation, allergies, and infections, requiring special consideration in textile selection. Although clothing serves as a protective barrier, it can also pose a risk when dyed with toxic chemical colourants. This study explores the potential of multifunctional natural dyes as safer alternatives for children’s clothing, particularly for those with dermatological ...

Work in progress: AI Digital transformation: AI tools for fashion design

In today's society, there is a recognition of how artificial intelligence is rapidly influencing the fashion industry. The fashion industry is undergoing a digital transformation, where generative artificial intelligence tools can be used to improve the multiple phases of the fashion design process. However, this trend calls for a change in the pedagogical practice of fashion design, adequately training future ...

CRISPR‑Cas9 engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae for endolysin delivery to comba...

Listeriosis is an infection caused by the consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. It leads to febrile gastroenteritis, central nervous system infections, and even death in risk populations. Bacteriophage endolysins selectively kill bacteria hydrolyzing their cell walls and have emerged as a potential tool for listeriosis control. Ply511 is an anti-Listeria endolysin that has activity again...

Efeito da duração da gestação e do período seco na reprodução e produção de lei...

A duração do período seco e a duração da gestação são fatores importantes para o sucesso da lactação seguinte. No entanto, gestações mais curtas por motivos biológicos tendem a ser acompanhadas de períodos secos também mais curtos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o impacto da duração do período seco e da duração da gestação na produção, reprodução, e taxa de refugo na lactação seguinte. Considerando que v...

Textile dyeing with Indigofera tinctoria-derived dye: exploring eco-friendly pr...

The use of natural dyes has become increasingly important as a result of their lower environmental impact and health benefits. However, developing eco-friendly dyeing processes and auxiliary products that maintain high chromatic quality remains a challenge. Natural indigo dye exemplifies this issue, as traditional industrial reduction methods using agents such as sodium dithionite are associated with significan...

Nanostructured lipid carriers loaded with cannabidiol: A novel antibiofilm appr...

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are major contributors to skin dysbiosis and infections, e.g. folliculitis and intravascular catheter infections, forming biofilms that enhance their resistance to antibiotics and immune responses. Given that antibiotic resistance is a serious challenge, new solutions are constantly being explored. The endocannabinoid system is essential for mai...

Time trends and geographic patterns of mortality due to tracheal, bronchus, and...

Tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer (TBLC) remains a major public health concern. Knowledge about geographic patterns and time trends in TBLC could give insights to better address this problem. This study aimed to evaluate the geographic patterns and time trends in mortality due to TBLC observed in Portugal. TBLC-related deaths and population estimates (2011–2021) were derived from the Instituto Nacional de Est...

The importance of the fashion world for the visually impaired user

Fashion is a form of communication where its language plays an active role, allowing any wearer to express themselves within society. The world of fash-ion should be democratised and humanised, although there is a visual contempo-raneity that generates a worrying lack of inclusion for the visually impaired user. Despite the lack of inclusion, for the visually impaired user, the communicational power of fashion ...

Edgar Morin’s vision and the fashion design education. Part II—“Human Understan...

Based on the article published in 2022, “The 7 Complex Lessons from Edgar Morin Applied in Fashion Design Education for Sustainability”, and with the aim of looking at local cultural processes (instead of global ones) associated with Fashion Design education, we seek to develop the theme proposed around Edgar Morin’s sixth lesson, called “Human understanding: understanding each other”. In this way, we propose a...
