Processed Food Consumption and Sleep Quality in School-Aged Children: Insights ...

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between processed food consumption and sleep quality among school-aged children. Methods: Our sample consisted of 137 children, with 52.6% being girls with a mean age of 7.9 +/- 1.2 years. Moreover, 40.2% of children had overweight and 35.9% had experienced sleep problems. Dietary intake was evaluated using two non-consecutive 24 h recal...

Technological innovations in decarbonisation strategies: A text-mining approach...

This study presents a novel, multifaceted approach to evaluating decarbonisation technologies by integrating advanced text-mining tools with comprehensive data analysis. The analysis of scientific documents (2011–2021) and mapping 368 technologies from the IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives identified 41 technology domains, including 20 with the highest relevance and occurrence. Domain readiness was assessed ...

Identifying promising domains of decarbonization technologies: An improved meth...

Humanity has sought ways to decarbonize the economies and mitigate the effects of global warming. The scientific community has been producing intensive research on decarbonizing technologies and strategies. This article introduces an improved methodology, based on two available text-mining software, to identify the most relevant domains of decarbonizing technologies presented in scientific papers, research proj...

A measure data catalog for dashboard management and validation

The amount and diversity of data that organizations have to deal with, intensify the importance and challenges associated with data management. In this context, data catalogs play a significant role, as they are used as a tool to find and understand data. With the emergence of new approaches to storing and exploring data, such as Data Lake or Data Lakehouse, the requirements associated with building and maintai...

The problem we are addressing: Despite extensive research, the links between accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the clinical features seen in patients suffering from various forms of Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) have yet to be further elucidated. These Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSDs) present symptoms, which may (or may not) include critical musculoskeletal and cardiovascular alterations, respirator...

Vigilância da Tuberculose nos Profissionais de Saúde como contributo na erradic...

A Tuberculose é uma doença infeciosa causada pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis que, apesar do tratamento disponível, constitui uma causa de morbimortalidade global significativa. Pode atingir qualquer órgão, mas afeta principalmente o pulmão, sendo a via aérea, pela inalação de aerossóis ou microgotículas respiratórias contaminadas, a principal forma de infeção. O esforço global nas últimas décadas para um diagnó...

Liposomal Delivery of Newly Identified Prophage Lysins in a Pseudomonas aerugin...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic bacterium that presents resistance to several antibiotics, thus, representing a major threat to human and animal health. Phage-derived products, namely lysins, or peptidoglycan-hydrolyzing enzymes, can be an effective weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Whereas in Gram-positive bacteria, lysis from without is facilitated by the exposed peptidogly...

A DNA barcode reference library of Portuguese mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are important biological vectors of pathogens and species identification in all life stages is the first step for effective monitoring and control of mosquito-borne diseases. Molecular methods for species identification have been developed over the last years to overcome the limitations of the taxonomic identification based on morphology. DNA barcoding, using a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrom...
