Dias Ferreira, João; Martins, Mónica; Marinho, Joana; Coelho, Cecília; Magalhães, Alice; Fernandes, Ana; Coelho, Diana; Malha, Rui; Fernandes, AlexandraO projeto Via Verde Saúde Laranjeiro (VVL) foi criado em fevereiro de 2020 com o principal objetivo de prestar cuidados de saúde primários de qualidade aos cerca de 7.000 utentes inscritos na Unidade de Cuidados de Saúde Personalizados Santo António e Laranjeiro (UCSP SAL) sem equipa de família atribuída e aos cerca de 2.000 utentes esporádicos, em situação irregular, contribuindo para minorar a gritante desigu...
Evaluation of Biotechnological Active Peptides Secreted by Saccharomyces cerevi...
Mauricio, Elisabete; Branco, Patricia; Araújo, Ana Luiza Barros; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Lima, Katelene; Duarte, Maria Paula; Fernandes, AlexandraABSTRACT:Biotechnological active peptides are gaining interest in the cosmetics industry due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-collagenase (ACE) effects, as well as wound healing properties, making them suitable for cosmetic formulations. The antimicrobial activity of peptides (2–10 kDa) secreted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol-Red was evaluated against dermal pathogens using ...
Exploring the Multifaceted Potential of a Peptide Fraction Derived from Sacchar...
Branco, Patricia; Mauricio, Elisabete; Costa, Ana; Ventura, Diogo; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Duarte, Maria Paula; Fernandes, AlexandraABSTRACT: The rising demand for minimally processed, natural, and healthier food products has led to the search for alternative and multifunctional bioactive food components. Therefore, the present study focuses on the functional proprieties of a peptide fraction derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism. The antimicrobial activity of the peptide fraction is evaluated against various foodborne pathogens,...
Novel Hydrogel Membranes Based on the Bacterial Polysaccharide FucoPol: Design,...
Araújo, Diana; Martins, Matilde; Concórdio-Reis, Patrícia; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Morais, Maria; Delgado Alves, Vitor; Fernandes, AlexandraFucoPol, a fucose-rich polyanionic polysaccharide, was used for the first time for the preparation of hydrogel membranes (HMs) using Fe3+ as a crosslinking agent. This study evaluated the impact of Fe3+ and FucoPol concentrations on the HMs’ strength. The results show that, above 1.5 g/L, Fe3+ concentration had a limited influence on the HMs’ strength, and varying the FucoPol concentration had a more significan...
Eco-Innovation: The Paradox Present in Our Society
Fernandes, AlexandraWe live in a society that it’s conscious and concerned about the environment but also increasingly consumerist. At an accelerated pace, the market has caused the erosion of the environmental quality, despite the desire to reach an ecological sustainability, both at the consumption level, and industrial. This refers to the problem that I explore in this article - The paradox of eco-innovation - since we have bee...
Call center COVID-19: patient-centered care and time for healthcare professionals
Malha, Rui; Fernandes, Alexandra; Marquês, Marta; Pacheco, PedroIntroduction: In the COVID-19 pandemic context, the TraceCOVID-19 online platform was created. Additionally, a daily phone call, made by family doctors or nurses, was recommended by the government’s Directorate-General of Health for all the patients who were suspected of, or infected by, SARS-CoV-2. With the rising number of suspected cases of the disease, it was essential to reduce the need for contacts to the...
Signs and Persuasion: Semiotic Analysis of a Political Outdoor and a Propaganda...
Fernandes, Alexandra; Moreira, Ismael; Santos, NunoWithin the scope of the Curricular Unit on Rhetoric and Argumentation, of the second year of the Bachelor Degree in Business Communication, we were asked to analyze, comparatively, a Political Outdoor and a Propaganda Poster. For that, we took into account the three authors studied in the scope of this same Curricular Unit: Roland Barthes, Jacques Durand and Martine Joly. Thus, we will make a tripartite analysi...
Half-sandwich Ru(p-cymene) compounds with diphosphanes: In Vitro and In Vivo ev...
Lenis Rojas, Oscar; Robalo, M. Paula; Tomaz, Ana Isabel; Fernandes, Alexandra; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Gonçalves Teixeira, Ricardo; Marques, FernandaRuthenium(II) complexes are currently considered attractive alternatives to the widely used platinum-based drugs. We present herein the synthesis and characterization of half-sandwich ruthenium compounds formulated as [Ru(p-cymene)(L)Cl]-[CF3SO3] (L = 1,1-bis(methylenediphenylphosphano)ethylene, 1; L = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphano)ethylene, 2), which were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, H-1...
Knowledge sharing in catholic organizations: a fuzzy‐set qualitative comparativ...
Curado, Carla; Graça, João; Oliveira, Mírian; Fernandes, AlexandraThis study examines knowledge sharing in Catholic organizations. The authors adopt Schein’s organizational culture theory that facilitates, or inhibits, knowledge sharing in organizations. Thus, they address the phenomenon at the three levels: the artifacts, the norms and values, and the underlying assumptions. Considering the chosen settings, they study the contributions of individuals having taken vows, the o...
Produção de bioetanol para fins clínicos : fermentação da planta do cardo
Fernandes, Alexandra; Rodrigues, Francisco; Coelho, PatríciaOs biocombustíveis são todos aqueles em que a produção parte de matéria-prima e, portanto, de fontes renováveis, tais como compostos vegetais e/ou de origem animal. A primeira etapa do processamento da matéria-prima lenhocelulósica deve ser o pré-tratamento, que permite solubilizar açúcares da hemicelulose aumentando a acessibilidade à celulose por parte das enzimas hidrolíticas. O pré-tratamento catalisado por...
