The effects of methylparaben exposure on drinking water bacteria virulence and ...
Pereira, Ana; Grenho, Liliana; Gomes, Inês; Simões, ManuelBackground: Parabens, widely used as preservatives in personal care products, pose an increased global concern due to their impact on environmental microbial communities, particularly in drinking water (DW), and potential risks to public health. Among different parabens detected in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), methylparaben (MP) is the most prevalent at elevated concentrations, raising serious he...

The amount of Exercise is directly related to its benefits and the volume of exercise performed must be adjusted to safety issues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the volume of exercise performed and it’s relation with functional capacity and find a baseli...
Agreement Between a Wristwatch and a Free Optical Sensor with a Chest Strap in ...
Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Silva, Vasco; Pereira, Ana; Morais, Gonçalo; Sokołowski, Kamil; Strzała, Marek; Morais, J.E.; Teixeira, José EduardoWearables with optical sensors for heart rate (HR) measurement are widely available in the market. However, their accuracy in water is still underexplored. The aim of the present study was to test the agreement of two different devices for HR monitoring with a chest strap while swimming at different intensities. Twenty male and ten female subjects (mean 19.6 ± 0.7 years old, 173.3 ± 5.4 cm, and 67.1 ± 6.6 kg) p...

Mesquita, Elza; Freire-Ribeiro, Ilda; Pereira, Ana; Alves, Deisiane; Cancian, Queli GhilardiAs fronteiras geográficas são linhas visíveis nos mapas, mas a(s) fronteira(s) interna(s) dos indivíduos que habitam essas regiões de contacto cultural constituem territórios muito mais complexos e fluídos. Esses personagens vivenciam o que Homi K. Bhabha (1998) chamou de third space, o terceiro espaço - um lugar de negociação identitária onde as culturas se encontram, se misturam e se transformam, gerando nova...
Southernmost record of Liparis montagui (Donovan, 1804) (Perciformes, Liparidae...
Duarte-Coelho, Pedro; Miranda, Carolina; Pereira, Ana; Vasco-Rodrigues, Nuno; Almada, FredericoIn January 2022, the presence of adult <jats:italic>Liparis montagui (Donovan, 1804) was documented at its southernmost point along the west coast of Portugal. The species was identified through both morphological and genetic barcoding analyses. This observation, part of an ongoing long-term coastal survey, suggests that L. montagui may be a transient species, influenced by complex climate and oceanic interacti...
