Introduction: Porphyrias are a group of eight rare inherited disorders, each caused by a defect in a specific enzymatic step of heme biosynthesis. These disorders are multisystemic, with variable symptoms, and represent a major burden for patients and families, with disabling chronic symptoms scattered with life-threatening acute attacks. There are two main clinical types of porphyria: acute porphyria and cutan...
Introduction: Mitochondrial cytopathies (MCs) are a phenotypically heterogeneous group of inborn metabolic disorders (IMD) caused by mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction. Recent advances in molecular diagnostics have improved our understanding of these complex disorders. However, the extensive genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of MCs remains only partially characterized and the correlations between sp...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-12-01; The calibration and validation of scientific analysis in simulations is a fundamental tool to ensure unbiased and robust results in observational cosmology. In particular, mock galaxy catalogs are a crucial resource to achieve these goals in the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) in the cl...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-02-15; We present angular diameter measurements obtained by measuring the position of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in an optimized sample of galaxies from the first three years of Dark Energy Survey data (DES Y3). The sample consists of 7 million galaxies distributed over a footprint of 4100 deg2 with 0....
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment delays increase the period of infectiousness, making TB control difficult and increasing the fatality rates. This study aimed to determine the evolution of health care service delay (time between the patient’s first contact with the health service and the diagnosis/start of treatment) and patient delay (time between onset symptoms date and the date of first ...
Authentic leadership has become increasingly important in the literature, attracting the attention of many scholars in the last decade. This study adopted an employeecentered perspective to guide its examination of the relationship between authentic leadership and individual performance and investigation of the sequential mediation of employees’ affective commitment and individual creativity. An analysis was co...

Cyanobacteria are a well-known source of bioproducts which renders culturable strains a valuable resource for biotechnology purposes. We describe here the establishment of a cyanobacterial culture collection (CC) and present the first version of the strain catalog and its online database (http://lege.ciimar.up.pt/). The LEGE CC holds 386 strains, mainly collected in coastal (48%), estuarine (11%), and fresh (34...
With the increase of devices connected to the Internet, currently known as Internet of Things (IoT), it is important to use algorithms in data transmissions to achieve optimal results for a given application.The paper main goal is to gather Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positions at maximum rate possible, process them in a Post-processed Kinematics (PPK) environment, in order to perform GNSS correct...
