Lifespan perspective on self-compassion: Insights from age-groups and gender co...
Tavares, L.; Xavier, Ana; Vagos, Paula; Castilho, P.; Cunha, M.; Pinto-Gouveia, J.Developmental stages present challenges that prepare the individual for new roles. Self-compassion may be a protective factor across this process. The present study aims to: (1) compare self-compassion scores in adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, and older adulthood using a cross-sectional design and a continuous multigenerational sample; (2) study gender comparisons across age-groups; and (3) study gende...
GC/MS Fatty Acid Profile Of Marine-Derived Actinomycetes From Extreme Environme...
Cunha, M.; Jorge, A.F.; Nunes, MJ; Sousa, JR; Lança, M.J.; Gomes da Silva, M.; Gaudêncio, S.P.This study investigated the fatty acids (FA) profile of 54 actinomycete strains isolated from marine sediments collected off the Portugal continental coast, specifically from the Estremadura Spur pockmarks field, by GC/MS. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were prepared from the ethyl acetate lipidic extracts of these strains and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS), with FA identification pe...
Environmental impact and costs of a switching program of intravenous to subcuta...
Oliveira, R.; Roseira, J.; Araújo, N.; Cavaco, C.; André, J.; Sousa, M.; Sousa, H. Tavares de; Cunha, M.We aimed to compare real-life direct and indirect costs and the environmental impact of switching IBD patients from IV to SC infliximab (IFX).
What could explain the psychological well-being and performance of young athlet...
Oliveira, Sara; Cunha, M.; Rosado, António Fernando; Gomes, Beatriz; Ferreira, CláudiaAbstract: Literature has highlighted that it is important to explore factors that may contribute to athletes’ well-being and also to sports performance, especially in young athletes. This study aimed to test a model that hypothesized that athlete-related social safeness (feelings of belonging to the team) has an effect on the psychological well-being and performance through self-criticism. This study sample com...
P82 Peptide fraction identification by SE-HPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis of the bod...
Cunha, M.; Coscueta, E. R.; Brassesco, M. E.; Almada, F.; Gonçalves, D.; Pintado, M. ManuelaThe mucus covers the fish's body, working as a protective barrier. Besides physical protection, mucus provides molecules that protect the fish from pathogens damaging 1,2. These include antimicrobial peptides secreted in the mucus, which play an essential role in defense against microbial pathogens since these belong to the innate immune system2,3. In this study, two adult Halobatrachus didactylus individuals w...
A Novel Framework for Intelligent Automation
Coito, T.; Viegas, J.; Martins, M.; Cunha, M.; Figueiredo, Joao; Vieira, S.; Sousa, J.As the industry continues to pursue the reduction of downtimes and increases in the efficiency of resource usage, data appears as a valuable business asset, empowering intelligent automation solutions. In order to deal with current challenges in acquisition and management of data in industrial settings, this paper proposes a framework for intelligent automation. The traditional automation pyramid does not cope ...
Dual-resource Constrained Scheduling for Quality Control Laboratories
Cunha, M.; Viegas, J.; Martins, M.; Coito, T.; Figueiredo, Joao; Sousa, J.; Vieira, S.This work presents a novel formulation for quality control laboratory scheduling considering both equipment and analysts as constraints. The problem is modelled as a dualresource constrained exible job shop problem. The formulation considers analyst's tasks in multiple time points during the processing of samples. The mathematical model is implemented as a mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) aiming to...
Utilização de geotecnologias na aferição de evolução topográfica aplicada à exp...
Duarte, João; Cunha, M.; Gonçalves, Gil; Figueiredo, F.RESUMO: A utilização de geotecnologias permite a identificação rápida de áreas com mudança de topografia, quer por escavação ou deposição de resíduos minerais. A avaliação de Modelos Digitais de Superfície (MDS), permite ainda avaliar a evolução do crescimento da vegetação para um dado período de tempo. Este estudo compara, em primeira análise a topografia convencional com o levantamento aerofotogramétrico por ...
Consensus must be found on intravenous fluid therapy management in trauma patients
Mota, Mauro Neves; Santos, M. R.; Cunha, M.; Melo, Filipe; Neves, H.; Abrantes, T.Introduction: Trauma is an important cause of death among young people and 30-40% of this mortality rate is due to hypovolemic shock, intensified by trauma's lethal triad: Hypothermia, Acidosis, and Coagulopathy. Nurses are responsible for managing fluid therapy administration in trauma victims. The purpose of this study is to analyse the reasons why intravenous fluid therapy is recommended for trauma patients'...
