Digital health solution for monitoring and surveillance of Amyotrophic Lateral ...
Barbalho, Ingridy M. P.; Fonseca, Aleika L. A.; Fernandes, Felipe; Henriques, Jorge; Gil, Paulo; Nagem, Danilo; Lindquist, Raquel; Lima, Thaísa S.Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex and rare neurodegenerative disease given its heterogeneity. Despite being known for many years, few countries have accurate information about the characteristics of people diagnosed with ALS, such as data regarding diagnosis and clinical features of the disease. In Brazil, the lack of information about ALS limits data for the research progress and public policy d...
Computational methods applied to syphilis: where are we, and where are we going?
Albuquerque, Gabriela; Fernandes, Felipe; Barbalho, Ingridy M. P.; Barros, Daniele M. S.; Morais, Philippi S. G.; Morais, Antônio H. F.Syphilis is an infectious disease that can be diagnosed and treated cheaply. Despite being a curable condition, the syphilis rate is increasing worldwide. In this sense, computational methods can analyze data and assist managers in formulating new public policies for preventing and controlling sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Computational techniques can integrate knowledge from experiences and, through ...
GRACE PLUS: A data fusion-based approach to improve GRACE score in the risk ass...
Neto, Afonso B.L.; Sousa, José P.; Gil, Paulo; Henriques, JorgeCardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the world’s leading cause of morbidity and mortality, being responsible for almost 17 million deaths each year. In Europe, let alone it is estimated that 20% of all citizens suffer from one form of CVD, namely cerebrovascular disease or heart failure and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Among the latter, Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is of particular importance since it is deadl...
NanoSen-AQM: From Sensors to Users
Lucas, Pedro; Silva, Jorge; Araujo, Filipe; Silva, Catarina; Gil, Paulo; P. Aarrais, Joel; Coutinho, Daniel; Salgueiro, Pedro; Saias, JoséWith the raising of environmental concerns regarding pollution, interest in monitoring air quality is increasing. However, air pollution data is mostly originated from a limited number of government-owned sensors, which can only capture a small fraction of reality. Improving air quality coverage in-volves reducing the cost of sensors and making data widely available to the public. To this end, the NanoSen-AQM p...
Curriculum management and professional development within the disciplinary group
Gil, Paulo; Machado, JoaquimThe current educational policies claim inclusion as a guiding principle, on the assumption that all children and young people have the capacity for learning and educational development, and it is the responsibility of school to guarantee each one access to the support they need to develop their potential of learning and development. This orientation implies the focus of the school’s action on the curriculum and...
Biomedical signals and machine learning in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a sys...
Fernandes, Filipe; Barbalho, Ingridy; Barros, Daniele; Valentim, Ricardo; Teixeira, César; Henriques, Jorge; Gil, Paulo; Dourado Júnior, MárioIntroduction: The use of machine learning (ML) techniques in healthcare encompasses an emerging concept that envisages vast contributions to the tackling of rare diseases. In this scenario, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) involves complexities that are yet not demystified. In ALS, the biomedical signals present themselves as potential biomarkers that, when used in tandem with smart algorithms, can be useful...
Gestão curricular e desenvolvimento profissional no seio do grupo disciplinar
Gil, Paulo; Machado, JoaquimAs atuais políticas educativas reivindicam a inclusão como princípio orientador, no pressuposto de que todas as crianças e jovens têm capacidade de aprendizagem e de desenvolvimento educativo e de que cabe à escola garantir a cada um o acesso aos apoios de que necessita para desenvolver o seu potencial de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. Esta orientação implica a ação da escola no currículo e nas aprendizagens, ...
Para a compreensão da colaboração docente: um estudo com professores de matemática
Araújo, Joaquim Machado de; Gil, PauloA atividade docente carateriza-se por uma dimensão individual, mais técnica, e outra colegial, mais funcional. O estudo, de natureza exploratória, visa compreender a abrangência do trabalho docente para além da aula e a diversidade de interações dos professores no seio do grupo disciplinar. A partir da análise documental e de um inquérito por questionário, o estudo identifica um trabalho individual orientado so...
Changing the school’s pedagogical organization. A case study
Gil, Paulo; Machado, JoaquimThe traditional model of pedagogical organization of the school is inadequate to the diversity of publics that it receives and to the new missions assigned to it. The search for a solution presupposes a focus on contextualized organization and management issues. This article aims to make known a research carried out in a public school, integrated in the TEIP3 program and with autonomy contract, whose purpose is...
A Survey on Home Energy Management
Leitão, Joaquim; Gil, Paulo; Ribeiro, Bernardete; Cardoso, AlbertoEnergy is a vital resource for human activities and lifestyle, powering important everyday infrastructures and services. Currently, pollutant and non-renewable sources, such as fossil fuels, remain the main source of worldwide consumed energy. The environmental impact of their exploitation has boosted research and investments in alternative, clean and renewable sources, including photovoltaic and windbased syst...
