With the rise in private-label shopping attributed to economic challenges, the research aims to uncover how retailers can explore this aspect to improve consumer preferences. To achieve this, the research aims to find out how the l...
Pollen morphology of the endemic genera of the Madeira archipelago, Portugal
Esposito, Fabiana; Morgado, L.N.; Nunes, Telmo; Rego, Carla José Azevedo; Fernandes, Francisco; Boieiro, MárioABSTRACT: This study presents the first palynological characterisation of the five endemic plant genera of the Madeira archipelago: Chamaemeles Lindl, Melanoselinum Hoffm., Monizia Lowe, Musschia Dumort and Sinapidendron Lowe. Pollen grain morphology of ten endemic species was studied using light and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The size and shape of pollen grains, the polar axis, the equatorial dia...

Parallel anagenetic patterns in endemic Artemisia species from three Macaronesi...
Vitales, Daniel; Guerrero, Carmen; Garnatje, Teresa; Romeiras, Maria M.; Santos, Arnoldo; Fernandes, Francisco; Vallès, JoanAnagenetic speciation is an important mode of evolution in oceanic islands, yet relatively understudied compared to adaptive radiation. In the Macaronesian region, three closely related species of Artemisia (i.e. A. argentea, A. thuscula and A. gorgonum) are each endemic from a single archipelago (i.e. Madeira, Canary Islands and Cape Verde, respectively), representing a perfect opportunity to study three simil...

Relatório de Estágio Curricular – Sodecia – Powertrain Guarda S.A. (Guarda)
Fernandes, FranciscoDurante este período de estágio consolidei inúmeros conhecimentos relacionados com os moldes, onde já tinha uma boa base de formação, devido à unidade curricular “Tecnologia e Processamento de Polímeros”. A minha principal função era a manutenção de moldes, sempre que saíam de uma máquina injetora, era preciso fazer limpeza e verificar se não havia nenhum elemento danificado. Além disso, também podia acontecer ...
The percentage of −2 pro–prostate-specific antigen and the prostate health inde...
Garrido, Manuel Matos; Marta, José C.; Bernardino, Rui M.; Guerra, João; Fernandes, Francisco; Pereira, Maria H.; Ribeiro, Ruy; Holdenrieder, StefanContext.—: There is a need to avoid the overdiagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and to find more specific biomarkers. Objective.—: To evaluate the clinical utility of [-2]pro-prostate-specific antigen ([-2]proPSA) derivatives in detecting clinically significant PCa (csPCa) and to compare it with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and with the percentage of free PSA (%fPSA). Design.—: Two hundred thirty-seven men (P...
Zelar@CB: IoT system to care for elder people living in isolated rural areas
Gonçalves, Fábio; Fernandes, Francisco; Jesus, Cassandra Sofia dos Santos; Rosa, Rafaela; Dionísio, Rogério PaisBecause senior citizens are at a higher risk of suffering serious complications from COVID-19, medical officials have cautioned them to stay at home. Their family and caregivers have also cut back on visits due to fear of spreading the virus to them. This situation has left many of the elderly increasingly isolated and without anyone to keep a watchful eye on their health. Zelar@CB is a wearable monitoring syst...
IoT system to monitor the well-being of senior citizens who self-isolate during...
Gonçalves, Fábio; Jesus, Cassandra Sofia dos Santos; Fernandes, Francisco; Rosa, Rafaela; Dionísio, Rogério PaisThe COVID-19 pandemic and the need for selfisolation has decreased the frequency of visits to senior citizens by family members or caregivers. Because of this, many health concerns of the elderly remained unresolved. We created a IoT system, called Zelar@CB, that monitors the daily activities of isolated elderly people who do not have access to at-home care. The proposed project detects unusual activity by moni...
Deteção de quedas em pessoas idosas e alerta à distância: potencialidades de um...
Rosa, Ana Rafaela; Dionísio, Rogério Pais; Grilo, Eugénia; Jesus, Cassandra Sofia dos Santos; Gonçalves, Fábio; Fernandes, FranciscoO aumento exponencial do número de idosos das últimas décadas impõe novos desafios. O envelhecimento é um processo natural que ocorre ao longo de toda a vida e, apesar de bastante heterogéneo, acarreta uma panóplia de alterações biopsicossociais que potenciam situações de maior fragilidade e vulnerabilidade, entre elas as quedas. Mundialmente, as quedas são uma das principais causas de mortalidade e morbilidade...
