Educação inclusiva em contexto de pandemia: implicações e desafios

Atmospheric rivers in the Iberian Peninsula: connection with extratropical fron...

Precipitation over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) is highly sensitive to atmospheric rivers (ARs)—long corridors of anomalous horizontal and poleward moisture transport from lower latitudes. This study aims to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms behind Iberian ARs and to quantify their contribution to precipitation over a long-term period. We identify ARs affecting the IP in the ERA5 reanalysis with a 31-km ...

Health-related outcomes of structured home-based rehabilitation programs among ...

The aging population reveals the need to develop self-care interventions that promote autonomy and well-being. The current systematic review aimed to assess the association between the implementation of structured home-based rehabilitation programs to promote self-care in older adults and health-related outcomes among people aged 60 years or older. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews ...

Trading Zones: A third space for artistic creation and investigation

Anti-inflammatory effect of Pterospartum tridentatum leaf extract in acute and ...

Pterospartum tridendatum is an important source of active compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. The ability of P. tridentatum leaves methanolic extract in preventing/reversing inflammation was studied in adult rats using a model of experimental osteoarthritis (OA) and ear edema. Control animals (SHAM) were administered phosphate buffer solution (PBS), while OA animals received either P. tridentatum 100 m...

Outdoor charcoal grilling: particulate and gas-phase emissions, organic speciat...

Charbroiling is a major source of air pollution worldwide. In this study, the particulate and gas-phase emissions from the charcoal lighting phase and during the grilling of meat (pork and rump cap) and fish (sardine and salmon) on an outdoor barbecue grill were characterized. Some gaseous compounds (ethane, hexane, NO2, N2O, SO2, NH3, HCl) did not display significant variations between samples and the backgrou...

Mutagenicity of PM10-bound PAHs from non-exhaust sources

Road trafc is a major source of airborne particles. While exhaust emissions have been deeply scrutinised, non-exhaust emissions deserved less attention despite their rising contribution to particle emissions from trafc. The mutagenicity of particulate matter (PM10) samples from wear between pavements and tyres and from road dust resuspension was determined by the Ames test with two Salmonella typhimurium strain...

In vitro toxicity of particulate matter emissions from residential pellet combu...

Particulate matter emissions (PM10) from the combustion, in a residential stove, of two commercial brands of certified (ENplus A1) pellets, a non-certified brand and laboratory made pellets of acacia were tested for their ability to induce ecotoxic, cytotoxic, and mutagenic responses in unicellular organisms and a human cell line. Ecotoxicity was evaluated through the Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition ...
