Metabolic syndrome and menopausal characteristics modulate pulse wave velocity ...

Arterial stiffness (AS) has been shown, for the general population, as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. In postmenopausal women, the association of AS with age, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is not yet well established. Analyse the influence of MetS, age, body mass index (BMI), and menopausal characteristics on the variation of AS in early (EP) and late...

Implementing virtuality in social network based education

Virtuality, and its implementation process virtualization, is one of the most important concepts in Industry 4.0. Students of the engineering courses should adopt the related skills, i.e., to design different architectures and tools for virtuality implementation in organizations and develop skills for working within virtual environments. In Social Network based Education (SNE), virtuality is implemented in both...

Design by extension: Potentiating University-industry collaborations through ac...

This paper introduces a Project-Based Learning (PBL) led collaboration between the BA Program in Design at the University of Aveiro and ‘Nexx’, an eminent brand of motorcycle helmets from Central Portugal. It delineates the main reciprocal advantages that are emerging from such interface between university and industry and discusses how projects that are framed to address specific industry needs can provide an ...

Exergames in the rehabilitation of the mastectomized person: a Scoping Review

Introduction: Exergames have been successfully utilized in healthcare, namelyin rehabilitation care. The present paper, authored by individuals who are aware of the potential of this technological resource, is intended to contribute to the construction of a rehabilitation nursing program that incorporates exergames for patients that have undergone breast cancer surgery. Methodology: We conducted a Scoping revie...

Loom: a closed-box disaggregated database system

Cloud native database systems provide highly available and scalable services as part of cloud platforms by transparently replicating and partitioning data across automatically managed resources. Some systems, such as Google Spanner, are designed and implemented from scratch. Others, such as Amazon Aurora, derive from traditional database systems for better compatibility but disaggregate storage to cloud service...

Evaluation of solvers' performance for solving the flexible job-shop scheduling...

Scheduling is essential for the efficient planning of manufacturing enterprises and ultimately for its competitiveness. Cyber-physical production systems have been using heuristics to implement scheduling algorithms. Heuristics have the advantage of being fast to reach a solution, that is usually not the optimal one but close to optimal. Recent advances in mathematical optimization solvers have improved their p...

The impact of technological implementation decisions on job-shop scheduling sim...

Cyber-Physical Production Systems require scalable simulations to make decisions in close to real-time when facing highly dynamic environments. When the environment changes, new simulations assist the production planning by running scheduling algorithms. We studied the impact of technological implementation decisions on the execution performance of a heuristic-based Flexible Job-Shop scheduling simulator. We de...

Customizing a cognitive stimulation program for individuals with dementia throu...

Background: Different intervention strategies, such as reminiscence and music-based therapies, effectively mitigate the cognitive decline of individuals with dementia (IwD). An important challenge when implementing these approaches lies in the need for content customization. We de signed Musiquence platform, a framework that allows the customization of music and reminiscence content in cognitive stimulation act...

TREINO COGNITIVO NO PÓS-AVC: UM ESTUDO-PILOTO COM A PLATAFORMA NEUROAIREH@B

O treino cognitivo (TC) através das novas tecnologias representa uma estratégia de intervenção promissora na mitigação dos défices cognitivos pós-AVC. Neste estudo-piloto, avaliamos o impacto a curto prazo de um novo sistema de TC com maior validade ecológica – a plataforma NeuroAIreh@b –, numa amostra de sobreviventes de AVC na fase crónica. Recrutámos dez sobreviventes de AVC que foram submetidos a uma avalia...
