Adverse events related to etonogestrel implant: an old but still current issue?
Fernandes, João Paulo; Silva, Marcia; Sousa, Margarida; Bhikha, Jani; Moreira, Paula; Silva, IsabelIntroduction: In December 2019, in Portugal, a Direct Healthcare Professional Communication (DHPC) was approved regarding the subcutaneous implant of etonogestrel 68 mg. The genesis of this communication was based on reported cases of neurovascular injury and migration of the implant from the insertion site within the arm, or, in rare cases, into the pulmonary artery, possibly associated with deep or incorrect ...
Programming languages ranking based on energy measurements
Gordillo, Alberto; Calero, Coral; Ángeles Moraga, Mª; García, Félix; Fernandes, João Paulo; Abreu, Rui; Saraiva, JoãoSoftware is developed using programming languages whose choice is made based on a wide range of criteria, but it should be noted that the programming language selected can affect the quality of the software product. In this paper, we focus on analysing the differences in energy consumption when running certain algorithms that have been developed using different programming languages. Therefore, we focus on the ...
Trading runtime for energy efficiency: leveraging power caps to save energy acr...
Cunha, Simão; Silva, Luís; Saraiva, João; Fernandes, João PauloEnergy efficiency of software is crucial in minimizing environmental impact and reducing operational costs of ICT systems. Energy efficiency is therefore a key area of contemporary software language engineering research. A recurrent discussion that excites our community is whether runtime performance is always a proxy for energy efficiency. While a generalized intuition seems to suggest this is the case, this i...
Promoting scientific literacy through the development of the controlled controv...
Farias, Matheus Moebus; Fernandes, João PauloThis article aims to report on the experience of applying a controlled controversy in a high school class at a private Brazilian school located in the municipality of Petrópolis, in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The controlled controversy is a didactic practice developed for the application of a CTS approach in the classroom, and can be a strong tool for the development of critical and reflective...
Paint your programs green: on the energy efficiency of data structures
Pereira, Rui Alexandre Afonso; Couto, Marco; Cunha, Jácome; Melfe, Gilberto; Saraiva, João; Fernandes, João PauloThis tutorial aims to provide knowledge on a different facet of efficiency in data structures: energy efficiency. As many recent studies have shown, the main roadblock in regards to energy efficient software development are the misconceptions and heavy lack of support and knowledge, for energy-aware development, that programmers have. Thus, this tutorial aims at helping provide programmers more knowledge pertai...

Ribeiro, Sílvia; Robredo Sánchez, José; Julián, Federico; Fernandes, João Paulo; Sánchez, Juan Jesús; Ramos, José M.ª; Borowiecka, SoniaNo âmbito do projeto LIFE ALNUS TAEJO “Conservation and restoration of mediterranean alder forests priority habitat in Western International Tajo river basin” pretende-se conservar, valorizar e recuperar cursos de água dominados por bosques ripícolas de amieiros (amiais), os quais configuram o habitat 91E0*, incluído na Diretiva Habitats da EU e prioritário para conservação. Estes bosques albergam uma elevada b...
Soil and Water Bioengineering as Natural-Based Solutions
Sangali, Paola; Fernandes, João Paulo; Tardío, GuillermoSoil and water bioengineering (SWB) is a discipline that combines technology with biology, making use of native plants and plant communities as construction material for erosion control in degraded environments. The term engineering refers to the use of technical and scientific data for constructive, stabilization and erosion control purposes and “bio” because these functions are related to living organisms, ma...
2.5. Processos ecológicos e paisagem
Fernandes, João PauloO texto desenvolve o conceito de processo e de sistema ecológico na perspectiva dos sistemas paisagísticos. É dada especial especial atenção à manifestação e funcionamento dos processos e sistemas ecológicos em todas as escalas relevantes em termos paisagísticos
2.2 Escala em Ecologia da Paisagem
Fernandes, João PauloO capítulo desenvolve o conceito de escala no contexto da ecologia da paisagem enfatizando o seu carácter pluridimensinal e plurifuncional. É dado particular relevo à importânca da escala em termos de função e de percepção.
Avaliação ambiental e do território
Fernandes, João PauloO livro desenvolve a temática da avaliação ambiental, ilustrando o modo como se desenvolvem esses processos. É dada particular atenção à definição conceptual e à sua aplicação concreta em domónios com a avaliação estratégica e o desenvolvimento de métodos de decisão.
