The Contribution of Sustainable Packaging to the Circular Food Supply Chain
Oliveira, João Zambujal; Fernandes, CristinaAs food supply chains pursue sustainability, numerous questions arise from their agents, focusing on the role of reverse logistics in sustainable packaging design and its effective contribution to waste reduction and the conservation of natural resources. With the goal of developing a new multi-criteria decision-making framework, this article examines how several multi-criteria decision making approaches can be...
Material Extrusion to Manufacture Carbide-Based Advanced Cutting Tools
Oliveira, Gonçalo Vaz Martins Garcia de; Senos, Ana; Fernandes, Cristina; Figueiredo, Daniel; Vieira, Maria T.Material extrusion (MEX) allows for the production of advanced cutting tools with new internal cooling systems, which are suitable for new machining equipment. To produce cutting tools via this process, hardmetal and cermet feedstock must be prepared for the extrusion of 3D printing filaments. After shaping the 3D object (green), debinding and sintering must be performed to achieve densification. Defects and mi...

The determinants of international performance for family firms: Understanding t...
Fernandes, Cristina; Ferreira, João J. M.; Veiga, Pedro Mota; Gerschewski, Stephan; Lobo, Carla AzevedoFamily firms (FFs) tend to display specific characteristics that differentiate them from non-family companies. In addition to the importance that FFs hold for the economic structure of many countries, their characteristics have motivated a wide range of research studies, including succession, corporate governance, and strategic management. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of resources (i.e. inte...
A simple and inexpensive method to monitor and minimize exposure from manipulat...
Ali, Nuro; Carmo, Helena; Robalo, Raquel; Rocha, Luísa; Fernandes, Cristina; Moreira, FernandoPharmacy personnel that manipulate cytotoxic drugs are under continuous exposure risk. Therefore, training and strict adherence to recommended practices should always be promoted. The main objective of this study was to develop and apply a safe, effective and low-cost method for the training and assessment of the safe handling of cytotoxic drugs, using commercially available tonic water. To evaluate the potenti...
Chip morphology evaluation on turning of 316L stainless steel using laser surfa...
Guimarães, Bruno Miguel Pereira; Fernandes, Cristina; Figueiredo, Daniel; Silva, Filipe Samuel; Miranda, GeorginaDuring machining processes, a large amount of heat is generated, especially in the cutting zone, due to the deformation of the material and to the friction of the chip along the surface of the cutting tool, resulting in, a wear increase and consequent reduction of tool life. Surface texturing can help improve these tools tribological performance by increasing their load carrying capacity, providing a more effic...
The role of market orientation in the performance of NPOs
Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, Cristina; Veiga, PedroWith the downturn in the global socioeconomic panorama, the market orientation (MO) and the performance of non-profit organisations (NPOs) have come in for growing levels of attention. However, authors remain unanimous in emphasising the scope there remains for further research designed to better understand the role of MO on the performances achieved by NPOs. The objective of this research is thus to analyse th...
Global talent management during the COVID-19 pandemic? The Gods must be crazy!
Fernandes, Cristina; Veiga, Pedro Mota; Raposo, Mário; Lobo, Carla AzevedoThe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought terrifying effects for labor markets all around the world. Just as we witness rapid changes in terms of the ways of working (working from home), we are also observing an increase in unemployment. The ways in which major corporations with international operations process their global talent management (GTM) already represents a challenge in relatively stable times and cl...
