This paper presents the results of the work developed by two teams that were challenged to give a lecture to theirs peers about critical thinking and ethics in the context of an elective course. This elective course is running for the second year and it is offered to all students in a Portuguese university. The main idea of this course is to stimulate students to learn about contents normally not approached in ...
Nos últimos anos o bem estar dos colaboradores nas organizações tem ganho uma atenção crescente em várias áreas de investigação da psicologia do trabalho e dos recursos humanos. Para manter o seu sucesso num mercado cada vez mais competitivo, as empresas procuram implementar práticas distintivas, apostando acima de tudo nos seus trabalhadores e em fatores que promovam e suportem o seu bom desempenho. Um destes ...
Outbreaks of protozoan agents such as Perkinsus olseni represent major losses for the shellfish producers, urging the development of measures to contain and decrease these episodes. Antimalarial drugs and selective inhibitors designed to target unique metabolic features of the parasite (metabolisms that are not replicated in the host, such as the folate, and shikimate pathways), have been successfully used in t...
Purpose: To compare the diagnostic power of lamina cribrosa depth (LCD), lamina cribrosa curve depth (LCCD) and lamina cribrosa curvature index (LCCI) with vessel density and fractal analysis in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG).
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic, colourless gas that results from the incomplete combustion of coal and other petroleum-derived materials. Within anthropogenic sources of carbon monoxide emissions, air pollution from car emissions accounts for about 75% of the total air pollution present in atmosphere. Inhalation of this gas is considered to be potentially toxic to the body, resulting in a haemogl...
Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a bioterrorism agent that develops resistance to clinically used antibiotics. Therefore, alternative mechanisms of action remain a challenge. Herein, we disclose deoxy glycosides responsible for specific carbohydrate-phospholipid interactions, causing phosphatidylethanolamine lamellar-to-inverted hexagonal phase transition and acting over B. anthrac...
State of art: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic, colorless gas that results from the incomplete combustion of coal and other petroleum-derived materials (Topacoglu, Katsakoglou, & Ipekci, 2014). Within anthropogenic sources of carbon monoxide emissions, air pollution from car emissions accounts for about 75%. Inhalation of this gas is considered to be potentially toxic to the body, resulting in a hemoglobin varia...

Plants belonging to the genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) are known to have a wide range of biological properties. In this work, extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Salvia sclareoides Brot. were evaluated to investigate their chemical composition, toxicity, bioactivity, and stability under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions. The composition of the supercritical fluid extract was determined by GC and GC-MS, whil...
