Prostate cancer progression: a scoping review, pharmacoeconomic assessment, and...
Dinis de Sousa, Rute; Zagalo, Daniela Mariana; Gouveia, Miguel; Gomes, Luís; Santos Dias, José; Mansinho, André; Santos, Susana; Mariano, JoséAIMS/BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men and a leading cause of cancer-related death. Progression from non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) to metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) significantly worsens health-related quality of life (HRQoL), increases mortality, and raises healthcare costs. This study assessed the impact of avoiding or delaying progression to mCRPC on HRQ...
Event-based modeling of input signal behaviors for discrete-event controllers
Gomes, Luís; Natário, Diogo; Costa, Anikó; Campos-Rebelo, Rogério; Barros, João PauloControllers for discrete-event systems are commonly designed using state-based formalisms, like state diagrams and Petri nets. These formalisms are strongly supported by the concept of events, which, from an automation system perspective, can be associated with a simple change in the value of a signal or more complex behavioral evolutions of the signals. In this paper, the characterization of several types of e...
Leveraging the pedagogical potential of tile-based games for teaching petri net...
Gomes, Luís; Barros, João PauloStudents face unfamiliar abstract concepts when learning about formal methods and Petri net modeling. These concepts are challenging for students to understand fully and for teachers to design captivating modeling exercises that align with the intended learning outcomes. The proposed exercises should provide significant opportunities to apply abstract concepts in familiar domains, bridging the gap between the c...

The mental health of university students has worsened over time, and it is young people who have suffered the most from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of mental health. Anxiety and depression are the most common symptoms reported by university students and are often the cause of disabilities, either in academic performance or in other spheres of life. Aim. The aim of this study was to both assess th...
A Three-Level Decision Support Approach Based on Multi-objective Simulation-Opt...
Gomes, Luís; Vieira, António; Fragoso, Rui; Luís, Coelho; Neves, José; Almeida, DoraDecision-making in multi-objective problems is a complex problem with several approaches existing in the literature. Many such approaches typically com bine simulation and optimization methods to achieve a robust tool capable of provid ing useful information to decision-makers. While simulation helps decision-makers to test alternative scenarios and allows uncertainty to be considered, optimization enables them...
