Introduction: Proper physical activity and sport for everyone are one of the main cornerstones for a healthy lifestyle. However, regular sport activity is not without risk, with the correlation between participation in sport activities and the emergence of injuries being well documented. One of the most common injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament rup‐ ture which brings negative consequences for both the a...
In Portugal, wind power represents one of the largest renewable sources of energy in the national energy mix. The investment in wind power started several decades ago and is still on the roadmap of political and industrial players. One example is that by 2030 it is estimated that wind power is going to represent up to 35% of renewable energy production in Portugal. With the growth of the installed wind capacity...
O Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas (CNMP), fundado em Lisboa em 1914 e em actividade até 1947, ano em que foi encerrado pelo Estado Novo, pode ser considerado a organização feminista mais relevante da primeira metade do século xx.2 Neste sentido, o seu conhecimento contribui especialmente para dar visibilidade às mulheres que também fizeram a nossa história.3 Embora já estudado por diversos/as investi...
In sports involving high impact forces, like handball, the intense effort alongside the set of repetitive motions is connected with an increase on forefoot plantar pressure consequently increasing injury probability. As a preventive measure, the use of functional foot orthoses (FFO) is recommended for plantar pressure redistribution. The goal of this study was to determine functional foot orthoses influence on ...
This paper presents a coordination approach to maximize the total profit of wind power systems coordinated with concentrated solar power systems, having molten-salt thermal energy storage. Both systems are effectively handled by mixed-integer linear programming in the approach, allowing enhancement on the operational during non-insolation periods. Transmission grid constraints and technical operating constraint...
The authors present a study case of Whipple´s disease affecting primarily the CNS in a 69 years old woman, who was admitted because of movement changes (ataxia and lower limbs paresis) and cognitive changes (depression, behaviour and personality changes).The presence of at least one of the criteria proposed by Louis et al. in 1996 revealed the presence of Whipple´s disease, which was the positive result in the ...
