The emergence of artificial intelligence in education
Meirinhos, Cláudia Sofia Oliveira Macedo; Fernandes, Liliana; Meirinhos, ManuelWhen we think of Artificial Intelligence (AI) we are immediately transported to futuristic scenarios of science fiction, which populate our imagination and leave us in a mixture of apprehension and fascination, in the face of the supremacy of machines, in films and books. However, its growing presence in our lives is so impregnated that we do not even realize its current impact and it becomes difficult to predi...
The impact of irregular schedules on worker lives: theoretical considerations a...
Silva, Isabel Maria Soares da; Fernandes, Liliana; Costa, Daniela; Veloso, AnaIn the recent decades, work schedules have diversified, leading to the implementation of different schedules like shift work or irregular hours. This chapter primarily focuses on irregular work schedules, and is structured in three parts. The first part is dedicated to the theoretical framework of the subject, particularly dealing with the main effects of irregular work schedules for the workers. Next, a study ...
The risk of salt reduction in dry-cured sausage assessed by the influence on wa...
Patarata, Luis; Fernandes, Liliana; Silva, José António; Fraqueza, M. J.Research Areas: Food Science & Technology; Water activity (aw) is the main hurdle for microbial control in dry-cured sausages. The aw can be influenced by drying or adding electrolytes or humectants. Dry-cured meat products are partially dried, which, together with added salt, results in safe aw values. Currently, there is a trend to reduce salt in meat products, which can compromise the preservation process. T...
Os makerspaces como ambientes pedagógicos inovadores
Fernandes, Liliana; Meirinhos, ManuelCom o despertar da quarta Revolução Industrial, a aposta em espaços que promovam a aquisição de competências para o século XXI tornaram-se mais apelativos. Os Makerspaces poderão constituir um ponto de viragem na pedagogia, estando em rota de colisão com o tradicional método expositivo e a transmissão conteúdos. São espaços de criação cujo propósito visa a transformação da educação. Têm surgido principalmente f...
Portuguese honeys as antimicrobial agents against Candida species
Fernandes, Liliana; Ribeiro, Henrique; Oliveira, Ana; Sanches Silva, Ana; Freitas, Andreia; Henriques, Mariana; Rodrigues, Maria ElisaHoney has been recognized worldwide for its antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Among them, the antifungal properties associated to honey make it an attractive alternative treatment for Candida-associated infections, particularly for topical application to the mucous membranes and skin. In this sense, the main purpose of this work was to evaluate physicochemical properties o...

Piezoelectric polymer composites for sensors and actuators
Carvalho, Estela Marisa Oliveira; Fernandes, Liliana; Costa, Carlos Miguel Silva; Lanceros-Méndez, S.As a result of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 paradigms, based on increasing interconnectivity, the development of advanced high-performance materials for sensor and actuator applications are increasingly required. In particular, piezoelectric composites are of large scientific and technological interest from fundamental and applied point of views. Piezoelectric composites are applied in a wide r...
Antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of fluorinated polymers with embedded ...
Nunes-Pereira, João; Costa, P.; Fernandes, Liliana; Carvalho, Estela Marisa Oliveira; Fernandes, Margarida Maria Macedo; Carabineiro, S. A. C.Environmentally resilient antimicrobial coatings are becoming increasingly required for a wide range of applications. For this purpose, nanocomposite thin films of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) filled with several types of functionalized nanodiamonds (NDs) were processed by solvent casting. The effects of ND inclusion and functionalization in their morphological, structural, optical, thermal and electrical p...
Overview on thermoactive materials, simulations and applications
Fernandes, Liliana; Fernández, Eduardo; Martins, Pedro Libânio Abreu; Ferreira, Nelson; Antunes, Paulo; Lanceros-Méndez, S.Thermoelectric (TE) materials have been attracting increasing interest once they are capable of directly convert temperature variations into electricity, being used in thermoelectric generators and thermoelectric sensor devices, among others. This work reports on the main principles of thermoelectric and thermomagnetic effects as well as the main materials used for the development of applications. Additionally,...
