Sports adaptation to competition in Portuguese athletes: The role of cognitive ...
Nogueira, José Miguel; Gomes, RuiAbstract: This study analyses the role of cognitive appraisal processes in the adaptation to a stressful situation, providing indications about emotions, coping, and coping effectiveness. The study includes 229 male athletes (59.8%) and 154 female athletes (40.2%), with ages between 14 and 37 years old (M = 22.85; SD = 5.35) divided between individual (n = 157; 41%) and team sports (n = 226; 59%). The evaluatio...
Hand vibration threshold mapper (HaViThreMa): A haptic vibration system
Silva, Emanuel Teixeira; Lisboa, Isabel C.; Matias, Tiago; Gomes, Rui; Carvalho, Adriano Dídimo Machado; Cardoso, PauloThis paper describes the design aspects of a system created to assess vibration perception thresholds (VPT). i.e., the minimum thresholds of mechanical vibration that humans can perceive on their hands. The system can carry out these assessments on various areas of the hand, such as the fingertips and the palm, and assessments are conducted according to pre-established psychophysical protocols. The technical sp...
Architecture proposal for deploying and integrating intelligent models in ABI
Gomes, Rui; Duarte, Júlio Miguel Marques; Quintas, Cesar; Salazar, Maria Manuel; Santos, ManuelThe integration of Adaptive Business Intelligence systems in healthcare has garnered significant attention due to their potential to manage the ever-growing volume of healthcare data and enhance the quality of care provided to society. ABI systems also play a crucial role in supporting hospital administrators in making strategic decisions. To facilitate the transparency and interoperability of these solutions, ...

Next generation automobile haptic seat: in inclusive way
Macedo, Helena; Silva, Lincoln; Munar, Eládio; Gomes, Rui; Carvalho, Adriano; Cardoso, Paulo; Carvalhal, Paulo; Mackay, Ana Margarida; Costa, NélsonAutonomous Vehicles will change the present driving paradigm and the car will be considered a 3rd living space, contributing to the social inclusion of the visually impaired. This study aimed to develop a haptic seat to alert and inform passengers about certain situations on the road and define the perceived minimum, optimal and uncomfortable vibrational values to be considered when designing guidelines for the...

Carvalho, Margarida; Gomes, Rui; Rocha, Sandra Moreira; Barroca-Ferreira, Jorge; Maia, Claudio J.; Guillade, Lucía; Correa-Duarte, Miguel A.STEAP1 is a cell surface protein of the STEAP family whose main function focuses on intercellular communication and cell growth. STEAP1 is considered a promising putative biomarker and a candidate target for prostate cancer treatment. For specific and selective detection of STEAP1, a molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was developed on a screen-printed electrode (C-SPE) whose surface was modified with a nanoco...

Abade, Carla; Fernandes, Gilberto; Gomes, RuiAs Entidades do Setor Não Lucrativo (ESNL) desempenham funções de extrema importância nas comunidades onde se inserem, sendo vital a sua sobrevivência, uma vez que o Estado nem sempre possui capacidade para cumprir as funções desempenhadas pelas ESNL. A recente pandemia COVID-19 veio dar uma maior relevância às ESNL, principalmente às Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social (IPSS), uma vez que, em tem...
Minimum hand haptic perception thresholds
Silva, Emanuel Teixeira; Grilo, José Luís Coelho Ferreira; Matias, Tiago; Gomes, Rui; Carvalho, Adriano Dídimo Machado; Cardoso, PauloThis paper is a short review of the recent state of the art relating to the study of vibration perception thresholds (VPT), sensed by the fingertip(s) of the human hand. To this end, papers regarding the topic of assessing VPT, released between 2011 and 2021, were collected and reviewed. Focus was given regarding the experimental set-ups, particularly the choice of algorithms and instruments used, the choice of...
EmoLexPros: A database of prosodically incongruent emotional words in European ...
Gomes, Rui; Castro, São Luís; Silva, SusanaIn this study, we validated a set of audio stimuli addressing emotional lexico-prosodic congruence. Positive, neutral and negative words classified as such in European Portuguese lexical databases were recorded with matching and mismatching emotional prosodic patterns (positive, neutral and negative). The produced set was submitted to behavioral validation, where each utterance was rated for lexico-prosodic mat...
