A novel holistic approach for the seismic-energy performance assessment of maso...

Furtado, A.; Rodrigues, H.; Rodrigues, M. F.; Arêde, A.; Varum, H.

The masonry infill walls are often used in the envelopes of reinforced concrete buildings for different purposes, but a large part of them was built before the enforcement of modern seismic and/or energy codes. Due to that, the envelope of the reinforced concrete buildings is responsible for the energy consumption needed for indoor heating and cooling. At the same time, recent earthquakes proved that the infill...


Predictors of hotel clients’ satisfaction in the Cape Verde Islands

Furtado, A.; Ramos, R. F.; Maia, B.; Costa, J. M.

Tourism has been fundamental for countries’ economic development, and Africa is the destination with the biggest tourism growth potential. Using 1414 travelers’ online reviews collected from TripAdvisor, the present work aims to understand which variables predict the satisfaction of Cape Verde’s hotel clients. Satisfaction was analyzed using sentiment analysis and ANOVA to predict the effect of the gathered var...

Pulmonary rehabilitation changes the oral microbiota of people with COPD

Melo-Dias, S.; Cabral, M.; Furtado, A.; Souto-Miranda, S.; Cravo, J.; Mendes, A.; Almeida, C.; Marques, A.; Sousa, A.

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is one of the most beneficial therapies for COPD, generally improving symptoms, exercise tolerance and functionality. Here, we investigated for the first time the effects of PR in the oral microbiota and immune mediators of people with COPD. 456 samples from 76 patients, 38 (72±9y, 76%♂, FEV1pp 49±16) integrating a 12-week community-based PR program, and 38 (70±8y, 82%♂, FEV1pp 52±...


Responsiveness to pulmonary rehabilitation is related with changes in oral micr...

Melo-Dias, S.; Cabral, M.; Furtado, A.; Souto-Miranda, S.; Marques, A.; Mendes, M. A.; Cravo, J.; Almeida, C. R.; Sousa, A.

Introduction: Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is one of the most cost-effective therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with proven benefits in domains such as exercise capacity and quality of life. Despite its clear benefits, patients are not equal-ly responsive to PR. Reasons behind that as well as the role of the airway microbiota in PR effectiveness are currently unknown.Objectives: Here, ...


The effect of pulmonary rehabilitation in salivary microbiota of people with ch...

Furtado, A.; Melo-Dias, S.; Cabral, M.; Marques, A.; Sousa, A.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is the most cost-effective therapy for this disease with several physical, psychological, and social benefits widely demonstrated. Nevertheless, its impact on the microbiota of people with COPD has not been established. This study aimed to investigate the effect of PR in the sali...


Independent effects of habitat and stream typology on macroinverte-brate commun...

Sroczyńska, Katarzyna; Leitão, Francisco; Máximo, I.; Range, Range; Furtado, A.; Claro, Marilia; Chicharo, Luis

Macroinvertebrate-based water quality assessment in temporary streams is an important yet still understudied issue. Investigat-ing different aspects of macroinvertebrate distribution in these streams is therefore highly necessary for the successful imple-mentation of bio-assessment programs. We investigated the variability in macroinvertebrate communities (number of families, abundance, taxonomic richness) and ...


Perspectives and approaches for the out-of-plane testing of Masonry Infill Walls

Furtado, A.; Arêde, A.; Melo, J.; Rodrigues, H.; Pinto, N.; Varum, H.

It is widely accepted that further and more in-depth research is required on the out-of-plane seismic response of masonry infill walls to increase knowledge regarding this particular behaviour and to develop effective strengthening strategies for preventing their collapse. However, such experimental tests are difficult to perform and the scientific community recognizes the complexity inherent to the test appara...
