European Union directives and international guidelines emphasise the need for humane slaughter practices, with particular attention to the proper stunning of fish prior to slaughter. This study investigates the impact of various combinations of stunning and slaughter methods on the welfare of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), a widely farmed species in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions. Specifically, the...
The Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias) is a nutritionally valuable species with potential for inclusion in school canteens. This study aimed to develop and evaluate mackerel-based products processed through marination, vacuum packaging, and sous-vide cooking. Following collective interviews with school canteen staff to assess acceptability and logistical suitability, the preferred variants—raw, marinated, ...
Freshwater bivalves are globally distributed, diverse, and common in benthic communities. Many taxa, par-ticularly in the most species-rich order, Unionida, are declining due to anthropogenic stressors, while a small number of non-native species have become increasingly abundant and widespread, commonly replacing nativebivalve assemblages. To understand how these global changes may impact ecosystems and people,...
In this study, we focus on the history and functioning of the Association of Mozambique Natives (ANM). The ANM, an association dating back to 1935, sought to bring together European settlers born in Mozambique, presenting itself as a cultural and recreational association. However, particularly in the late 1950s and early 1960s, it actively intervened in political debates. Among the Naturais were several ...
Já com a próxima edição do CNaPPES no horizonte, temos uma enorme satisfação de vos apresentar o Livro de Atas do 9.º Congresso Nacional de Práticas Pedagógicas no Ensino Superior, CNaPPES.23, onde poderão encontrar todos os artigos completos que os autores entenderam partilhar connosco, também sujeitos a revisão antes desta sua publicação. O CNaPPES nasceu para permitir e promover a partilha pedagógica no Ensi...
Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to decrease the strength of bivalves' shells, especially during the early stages of development, with negative consequences to the resilience of natural populations and the economy. The objectives of the present study were to assess the long-term effect of increasing pCO(2) after 217 days of exposure under controlled conditions of pH of similar to 8.2, 8.0, and 7.7 on the st...
Com antecedentes históricos e um lastro que excede a sua vigência direta, as campanhas de alfabetização de adultos em curso durante a Revolução portuguesa de 1974-76 estruturaram-se num eixo de dois polos opostos: o da «alfabetização», de carácter mais centralizado, e o do «poder popular», tendencialmente mais fluido. As divergências internas a este heteróclito «campo da alfabetização» refletiram no terreno da ...
A Dieta Mediterrânica é um património histórico ativo que depende da utilização sustentável de recursos, guiando-se pelos ritmos da natureza e pelo respeito pela biodiversidade. O conceito de Dieta Mediterrânica não compreende apenas a alimentação, todavia os aspetos relacionados com os hábitos alimentares, os alimentos e a sua preparação são marcadores da identidade coletiva de um povo. Assim, este modelo cult...
Many scientific publications that affect machine learning have set the basis for pattern recognition and symmetry. In this paper, we revisit the concept of “Mind-life continuity” published by the authors, testing the symmetry between cognitive and electrophoretic strata. We opted for machine learning to analyze and understand the total protein profile of neurotypical subjects acquired by capillary electrophores...
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that poses a significant long-term health risk due to its debilitating complications. While the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes are well-established, the monitoring of its numerous complications presents a challenge, which can compromise patients' prognosis and quality of life. We analyzed the proteome of ten saliva samples, five from healthy individu...
