Hospital-Based Cancer Registry Audit of the Clínica Sagrada Esperança, Luanda, ...
Vieira Lopes, Lygia; Figueiredo, José; Garcia, Teresa; Costa, Creusa; Costa, Sandra; Santos, Lúcio LaraIntroduction and Objectives: Luanda faces a growing cancer burden alongside a high prevalence of communicable diseases, yet lacks a population-based cancer registry. The Clinica Sagrada Esperanca (CSE), a semi-private institution in Luanda, maintains a hospital-based cancer registry (CSE-HBCR) through a manual data curation process with recognized limitations. This study aimed to (1) perform a structured qualit...
Sustainable entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility:Analysing the ...
Rosário, Albérico Travassos; Figueiredo, JoséAt a basic level, entrepreneurship refers to an individual or a small group of partners that intend to create a new business. Entrepreneurship is at the forefront of any competitive economy due to the creation of new products and services. In other words, entrepreneurship is associated with economic wealth, growth, and innovation. The usage of resources in the creation of new businesses needs to be rational bec...
The COVID-19 Impact on Oral Healthcare Demand and Performance: The Experience o...
Mendes-Abreu, João; Cabo, Ivan; Borges, Maria Inês; Quitério, Anabela; Nunes, Tiago; Matos, Francisco Maio; Vale, Francisco; Figueiredo, JoséIntroduction: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has reshaped the global landscape as we know it and had a tremendous effect on healthcare systems around the world. However, its impact on oral healthcare is still to be fully assessed. The aim of this study was to understand if and how COVID-19 affected the demand and performance of oral healthcare, taking the Clinical and Academic Centre of Coimbra as an example, more spe...
Demand impact for prices ending with “9” and “0” in online and offline consumer...
Lopez-Pastor, Marcial; Garcia-Madariaga, Jesus; Sanchez, Joaquin; Figueiredo, JoséStudies on demand impact for 9-ending and rounded prices have so far offered controversial results, with hardly any research focusing on their effect on online commerce or in a multichannel sales context. Our study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the conditions that influence the strategy behind setting such type of pricing in the multichannel retail business of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). To test the...
Determinants of Residents’ Word-of-Mouth Behaviour and Support for Tourism
Blasco López, Maria Francisca; Recuero Virto, Nuria; Figueiredo, JoséThis research explores residents’ support for tourism by introducing—for the first time—the variable of residents’ word-of-mouth intention. The tested model proposes that residents’ support for tourism is influenced by residents’ word-of-mouth and tourism benefits; the model also examines the impacts of community attachment and community involvement on the benefits of tourism. The relationship between tourism b...
Carbon nanotubes as catalysts for wet peroxide oxidation: the effect of surface...
Martin-Martinez, Maria; Machado, Bruno; Serp, Philippe; Morales-Torres, Sergio; Silva, Adrián; Figueiredo, José; Faria, Joaquim; Gomes, HelderThree magnetic carbon nanotube (CNT) samples, named A30 (N-doped), E30 (undoped) and E10A20 (selectively N-doped), synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition, were modified by introducing oxygenated surface groups (oxidation with HNO3, samples CNT-N), and by heat treatment at 800 °C for the removal of surface functionalities (samples CNT-HT). Both treatments lead to higher specific surface areas. The ac...
Testing diffusion of cosmic rays in the heliosphere with proton and helium data...
Tomassetti, Nicola; Barão, Fernando; Bertucci, Bruna; Fiandrini, Emanuele; Figueiredo, José; Barreira, João; Orcinha, MiguelAfter six years of continuous observations in space, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment has released new data on the temporal evolution of the proton and helium fluxes in cosmic rays. These data revealed that the ratio between proton and helium fluxes at the same value of rigidity $R=p/Z$ (momentum/charge ratio) is not constant at $R\lesssim$ 3 GV. In particular, the ratio is found to decrease steadily ...
Relationships between neuropsychological and antisaccade measures in multiple s...
Ferreira, Marisa Borges; Pereira, Paulo A.; Parreira, Marta; Sousa, Ines; Figueiredo, José; Cerqueira, João José; Macedo, Antonio FilipeBackground: The Stroop test is frequently used to assess deficits in inhibitory control in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This test has limitations and antisaccade eye movements, that also measure inhibitory control, may be an alternative to Stroop.Objectives: The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to investigate if the performance in the antisaccade task is altered in patients with MS and (ii) to investi...

Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation with modified carbon nanotubes
Martin-Martinez, Maria; Machado, Bruno; Serp, Philippe; Morales-Torres, Sergio; Silva, Adrián; Figueiredo, José; Faria, Joaquim; Gomes, HelderCatalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) uses H2O2 as a source of hydroxyl radicals (HO) for the oxidation of organic species. This process is regarded as a potential solution for the treatment of aqueous effluents containing recalcitrant and toxic organic pollutants, difficult to remove by conventional biological processes, mainly if present at high concentrations (1- 10 g L-1) [1]. In a recent study, three ma...
