This study aimed to evaluate the impact of intercropping Brassica oleracea. with three perennial grasses (Poa pratensis L., Lolium perenne L., and Festuca rubra L.) under varying levels of iron (Fe) availability (Fe0, Fe1 and Fe5) in nutrient solutions. The research focused on biomass accumulation, photosynthetic efficiency, root development, nutrient uptake, and oxidative stress response. In the absence of Fe,...
Este trabalho tem como objetivo uma reflexão acerca da formação dos instrutores num contexto de ensino de competências médicas. Pretende ainda demonstrar a importância de estruturar este percurso para que os instrutores sejam elementos facilitadores e não obstáculos à aprendizagem. Teremos com o pano de fundo desta reflexão, o percurso de um instrutor certificado pelo European Resuscitation Council (ERC). O ERC...
Background. The polymicrobial biofilm present on the vaginal epithelium during bacterial vaginosis (BV) plays an important role in the progress of this infection. Several studies have demonstrated that the BV biofilm contains mainly Gardnerella spp. and in a minor part Fannyhessea vaginae. However, this biofilm is often populated by many other facultative or strict anaerobes, but very little is known about thei...

Understanding the mechanisms underlying the positive influence of urban biodiversity on dwellers’ well-being is critical to inform sustainable management of urban greenspaces, but studies published to date on the role of biodiversity in mental restoration have provided contradictory results. Both urban greenspace biophysical characteristics and the emotional connection with the place may play a role in mental r...
Urban green spaces (UGS) provide multiple benefits, and public parks in particular have a key role in supporting ecological and social sustainability in cities, contributing to human-nature interactions. We studied the interrelationships between uses, experiences and the environment by adopting a novel concept of urban biocultural diversity (BCD). The concept identifies three interlinked spheres of urban BCD: m...
The yeasts belonging to the Wickerhamiella and Starmerella genera (W/S clade) share a distinctive evolutionary history marked by loss and subsequent reinstatement of alcoholic fermentation mediated by horizontal gene transfer events. Species in this clade also share unusual features of metabolism, namely the preference for fructose over glucose as carbon source, a rare trait known as fructophily. Here we show t...
Caracterizou-se a doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC) e os possíveis aspectos socioeconómicos associados à enfermidade e avaliaram-se os efeitos que as ondas de calor (OdC) e as ondas de frio (OdF) podem ter no aumento dos internamentos hospitalares nas pessoas residentes na Área Metropolitana do Porto (AMP) entre 2000 e 2015. Os efeitos das OdC e das OdF nas admissões hospitalares por DPOC foram investig...
