Epidemiology and Burden of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia among Adult Intensiv...
Mergulhão, P; Pereira, JG; Fernandes, AV; Krystopchuk, A; Ribeiro, J; Miranda, D; Castro, H; Eira, C; Morais, J; Lameirão, C; Gomes, S; Leal, DVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a prevailing nosocomial infection in critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (iMV). The impact of VAP is profound, adversely affecting patient outcomes and placing a significant burden on healthcare resources. This study assessed for the first time the contemporary VAP epidemiology in Portugal and its burden on the healthcare system and clinical...

Digital Twin Applications in the Extractive IndustryA Short Review
Duarte, J; João Santos BaptistaIntroduction: The technological development brought up by Industry 4.0 has wholly revolutionised the industrial sector, promptly opening doors to improving operational efficiency and occupational safety. Trying to understand where the extractive industry stands, this short review aimed to find evidence of the sectors digital twin and digitalisation applications and their integration level. Methodology: The Pref...
Environmental and Occupational Safety and Hygiene KPI in the Mining IndustryA S...
Duarte, J; Jacqueline Castelo Branco; Rodrigues, F; João Santos BaptistaIn a technologically enhanced world brought by Industry 4.0, a great bulk of information can be drawn from the industrial processes. Nowadays, the question is what to do with information and how to manage it, rather than how to collect it. In this sense, Key Performance Indicators might be the answer. Mining is the industry where a more profound change can be seen but, at the same time, remains in the top three...
Machine learning in Occupational Safety and Health - a systematic review
Maheronnaghsh, S; Zolfagharnasab, H; Gorgich, M; Duarte, J<jats:p>With the development of technology, machine learning (ML), a branch of computer science that aims to turn computers into decision-making agents using the most appropriate algorithms, is also paving its way in the modern world. This systematic review arises from the need to understand the impact and report the best practices for applying ML in occupational safety and health. The Preferred Reporting Items...
Movement Analysis in Going Up and Down Stairs and the Aggravation of Patellofem...
Pereira, PM; Duarte, J; João Santos Baptista; Torres Costa, JPatellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a musculoskeletal disorder in the anterior region of the knee, affecting people of different ages. When it is necessary to go up and down many stairs in a work context, there is a risk of increased wear on the knee joint and, consequently, PFPS. The main objective of this work was to identify the risk of contracting PFPS associated with the action of going up and down stai...
Exploring subsurface fluid flow and active dewatering along the oceanic plate b...
Hensen, Christian; Adao, Helena; Batista, L; Belosa, L; Bodenbinder, A; Cherednichenko, S; Domeyer, B; Duarte, J; Glombitza, C; Kaul, N; Koppe, M; Li, JR/V Meteor cruise M162 was conducted as a systematic continuation of ongoing work dedicated to understand if and howfluid flow through crust and sedimentscontinues along transform-type plate boundaries and fracture zones away from mid-ocean ridges and continental margins. Central target was the Gloria Fault in the central Northeast Atlantic. Previous findings along the eastern continuation of the Gloria Fault r...
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Risk Factors Analysis in Selective Garbage Truck D...
Pereira, PM; Duarte, J; João Santos Baptista; Torres Costa, JBackground: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a disease with gradual worsening, affecting 22.7% of the general population, clinically described as a peripatellar pain aggravated when going up and/or downstairs. Objective: To identify risk factors for the emergence or aggravation of PFPS present in selective waste collection workers in their daily activity. Method: The experimental protocol first consisted ...
Occupational Exposure to Noise in the Extractive Industry and EarthworksShort R...
Duarte, J; Jacqueline Castelo Branco; Rodrigues, F; João Santos BaptistaBackground: Occupational noise is still a significant issue having severe impacts on the workers health. This problem is relevant in the extractive industry since it endangers the worker and the surrounding communities. Objective: This short review aimed to identify the occupational exposure to noise setting within the extractive sector and earthworks. Methodology: The Preferred reporting items for systematic r...
Stir Casting Routes for Processing Metal Matrix Syntactic Foams: A Scoping Review
de la Muela, AMS; Duarte, J; João Santos Baptista; Cambronero, LEG; Ruiz-Roman, JM; Elorza, FJMetal matrix syntactic foams (MMSFs) are advanced lightweight materials constituted by a metallic matrix and a dispersion of hollow/porous fillers. Physical and mechanical properties can be fitted regarding matrix and filler properties and processing parameters. Their properties make them potential materials for sectors where density is a limiting parameter, such as transport, marine, defense, aerospace, and en...
