[Excerto] Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), intensified by the high thermal retention capacity of conventional construction materials, contribute to elevated temperatures in urban areas, compromising indoor thermal comfort and directly impacting the health and well-being of the population. As a mitigation strategy, the incorporation of coaxial fibres with phase change materials (PCFs) stands out for their ability to p...
A introdução de conceitos matemáticos na infância é essencial para o desenvolvimento cognitivo, estabelecendo uma base sólida para aprendizagens futuras. O desafio do desinteresse por parte dos alunos pela matemática tem impulsionado a procura por estratégias eficazes desde cedo, onde o jogo emerge como uma promissora ferramenta, oferecendo uma abordagem envolvente e lúdica. A questão de partida para esta inves...
Introduction: Although scarce, regional telestroke networks have been developed worlwide in the last few decades. The COVID-19 pandemic put the healthcare system under exceptional pressure. We aimed to assess the impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic on the telestroke network performance in the central region of mainland Portugal. Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study including the eight h...
[Excerpt] Introduction Wound infection is a critical factor that seriously hinders adequate healing preventing epithelialization and angiogenesis. This is particularly grievous and prevalent in burn and chronic wounds.
Introdução: A Auditoria Clínica é um dos pilares da Governação Clínica. Objetivo: Apresentar o conceito de Auditoria Clínica e as etapas para elaboração de uma auditoria clínica, com base na evidência científica mais recente. Métodos: Efetuou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados PubMed, EBSCO, B-On, Google Scholar e MEDLINE., através de palavras-chave, onde foram analisados 9 artigos publicados entr...
Este estudo surge de um projeto de investigação[1] desenvolvido no âmbito do doutoramento em Artes Performativas e da Imagem em Movimento (Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa) e orientado pela Professora Doutora Madalena Xavier e pelo Professor Doutor Jorge Ramos do Ó. Neste projeto foi posto em prática um conjunto de dispositivos mediadores da exploração do movimento, prestando-se à descrição, i...
[Excerpt] Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a 100 % cellulose nano-nonwoven textile synthesized by bacteria, comprising impressive mechanical properties. Cellulosic materials require flame retardant finishing, thus to reduce flammability of BNC a zeolite mordenite (MOR) was incorporated in its nano structure, without any additives.
Wound infection hinders adequate healing, being particularly grievous and prevalent in burn wounds and chronic wounds. Wound infection extends inflammation, preventing epithelialization and angiogenesis. Therefore, infection prolongs healing time, steeply increases treatment costs and degrades patients wellbeing. One successful strategy to control wound infection is to apply an active wound dressing, able to el...
There are several technologies available for the treatment of textile substrates. In a context where more environmentally and sustainable attitudes need to be adopted, industries must find technologically advanced solutions towards it, such as waterless technologies. An example is the atmospheric plasma, which allows the continuous and uniform pre-treatment of textile substrates, to make the next step – functio...
ABSTRACT - This article aims to describe and understand what performers think about during performances and rehearsals while searching for a common language between music and dance. Departing from our own experiences as performers (a dancer and a musician), we ask the question what do we think about when we are dancing/playing? We assume that this awareness of what we think while performing is not obvious and d...
