Understanding student and faculty perspectives on artificial intelligence in he...
Lopes, António Alves; Delgado, João; Santos, Hugo; Silva, CláudiaIntroduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prevalent in healthcare, but there is limited research on students' and faculty members' knowledge, usage, and attitudes towards AI in education. This study aimed to evaluate both students' and faculty members' knowledge of AI, their attitudes towards integrating AI into health professions education, and to identify their needs, concerns, and pe...

Delgado, João; Alves Lopes, António; Santos, Margarida; Lopes, Filipe; Silva, CláudiaBackground: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more prevalent in healthcare, but there is limited research on students' knowledge, usage, and attitudes toward AI in education. This highlights the need to study their perceptions, readiness to adopt AI, and concerns about its integration into their academic and professional development. Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate students' knowledge of artificial ...
A pioneering longterm experiment on mesophotic macrofouling communities in the ...
Canning-Clode, João; Gizzi, Francesca; Braga-Henriques, Andreia; Ramalhosa, Patrício; Abreu, Pedro; Álvarez, Soledad; Biscoito, ManuelThe mesophotic zone represents one of our planet's largest and least explored biomes. An increasing number of studies evidence the importance of macrofouling species in marine ecosystems, but information on these communities and the factors influencing their structures at mesophotic depths remain poor. This lack of understanding limits our ability to predict anthropogenic impacts or conduct restoration operatio...
Change detection versus change localization for faces, houses, and words
Ventura, Paulo; Pereira, Alexandre; Cruz, F.; Delgado, João; Faustino, Bruno; Guerreiro, José CarlosThe other-race effect (ORE) is a well-known phenomenon in which people discriminate and recognize faces from their ethnic group more accurately than faces from other ethnic groups. Holistic processing, or the mandatory tendency to process all parts of an object together, has been proposed as an explanation for the ORE. According to the holistic perspective of the ORE, other-race faces might be subject to weaker...
From Perugino to Picasso: Holistic processing of faces in paintings
Ventura, Paulo; Liu, Tina T.; Cruz, F.; Pereira, Alexandre; Domingues, Miguel; Guerreiro, José Carlos; Delgado, JoãoFaces are generally assumed to be processed holistically, that is, features are represented in an integrated fashion. Similarly, pictorial representations of faces (e.g., drawings) have been shown to elicit holistic processing. Some researchers, however, have contested the concept of holistic face processing, suggesting that the perception of a face is no more than the sum of individual face parts. In the prese...
The relation between holistic processing as measured by three composite tasks a...
Ventura, Paulo; Ngan, Vince; Pereira, Alexandre; Cruz, F.; Guerreiro, José C.; Rosario, Vivienne; Delgado, João; Faustino, Bruno; Barros, MartaWe investigated the relationship between holistic processing and face processing using a latent variables approach. Three versions of the composite paradigm were used to measure holistic processing: Vanderbilt Holistic Face Processing Test, a sequential composite matching task, and a simultaneous composite matching task. Three tasks were used to measure face perception and face memory abilities respectively. We...
The relationships between reading fluency and different measures of holistic wo...
Ventura, Paulo; Tse, Helen W.-Y.; Guerreiro, José Carlos; Delgado, João; Ferreira, Miguel F.; Farinha-Fernandes, António; Faustino, BrunoRecently, paradigms in the face recognition literature have been adopted to reveal holistic processing in word recognition. It is unknown, however, whether different measures of holistic word processing share similar underlying mechanisms, and whether fluent word reading relies on holistic word processing. We measured holistic processing effects in three paradigms (composite, configural sensitivity, part–whole)...
Major ocean currents may shape the microbiome of the topshell Phorcus sauciatus...
Sousa, Ricardo; Vasconcelos, Joana; Vera-Escalona, Iván; Delgado, João; Freitas, Mafalda; González, José A.; Riera, RodrigoStudies on microbial communities are pivotal to understand the role and the evolutionary paths of the host and their associated microorganisms in the ecosystems. Meta-genomics techniques have proven to be one of the most efective tools in the identifcation of endosymbiotic communities of host species. The microbiome of the highly exploited topshell Phorcus sauciatus was characterized in the Northeastern Atlanti...
Pleistocene expansion, anthropogenic pressure and ocean currents: Disentangling...
Sousa, Ricardo; Vasconcelos, Joana; Vera-Escalona, Iván; Pinto, Ana Rita; Hawkins, S. J.; Freitas, Mafalda; Delgado, João; González, José A.Aims: Rising sea-level following the Last Glacial Maximum lead to fragmentation of coastal limpet populations between islands of the Archipelago of Madeira. This fragmentation is reinforced by recent heavy exploitation reducing effective population size on Madeira Island. We use the limpet P. aspera to understand how the role of processes at different time scales (i.e. changes in the sea level and overexploitat...
The influence of mass tourism and hygroscopic inertia in relative humidity fluc...
Ferreira, Cláudia; Freitas, Vasco Peixoto de; Delgado, JoãoThe preservation of artefacts in museum collections is profoundly affected by fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity. This work presents the results of an experimental laboratorial study, conducted in a flow chamber to demonstrate the enormous potential of hygroscopic materials in stabilizing interior relative humidity. In order to assess the risk of mass tourism and hygroscopic inertia of finishing ...
