Intrapopulation differences in biological traits and impacts in a highly invasi...

Individual variation assessments are essential to better understand population and community dynamics, as well ecosystem functioning. Although researchers have long recognized this aspect, only recently has evidence accumulated about the ecological importance of variation within species. The incorporation of individual variation provides an even more complete description of the effects a species may have on eco...

Electrophysiological responses of the clam (Ruditapes decussatus) osphradium to...

Chemical sensing of the surrounding environment is crucial for many aspects of bivalve biology, such as food detection and predator avoidance. Aquatic organisms strongly depend on chemosensory systems; however, little is known about chemosensory systems in bivalves. To understand how the carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) senses its surrounding chemical environment, we used an electrophysiological techniq...

Cuidados Paliativos e a Renitência dos Doentes. Como ultrapassar? - Relato de Caso

Os cuidados paliativos são cuidados holísticos e multidisciplinares, que se centram no doente e familiares/cuidadores, priorizando o conforto e qualidade de vida. O envolvimento dos cuidados de saúde primários é crucial para tornar a prática dos cuidados paliativos acessível, precoce e eficaz. Este artigo reporta o caso de uma mulher diagnosticada com adenocarcinoma gástrico metastizado (pT4bN3M1), com evolução...

AI in Design: Evaluation of commercially available AI tools in the development ...

With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), introducing new tools to assist human capabilities, major changes in Product Design are being observed. AI allows designers to spend more time on the creative side, as it optimizes many tasks. These technologies not only increase efficiency, but also push the bounda-ries in design, allowing constant innovation. Tools such as image generators, supported by text...

Homogeneous Photosensitized Oxidation for Water Reuse in Cellars: A Study of Di...

The demand for fresh water is increasing daily, requiring industries to take action to reduce the need for fresh water. Winemaking industries represent a massive hydric impact by combining the water consumed and the high volume of wastewater produced. The sun-driven photooxidation process has been widely employed in removing wastewater pollutants. This work employed four photosensitizers, Rose Bengal, AlPcS4, Z...

9/11 revisited: remediation as a tool to rewrite the cultural memory of the ter...

Over the last two decades, 9/11 established itself as an object of interest for the academia, news outlets and the arts, generating a multitude of cultural artefacts that allow us, collectively, to revisit the event, reread it in different circumstances, and, ultimately, rewrite it.Employing rewriting as a metaphor for a continuous process of representation and revision, this article explores the remediation of...

Effects of demographic and clinical character on differences in self‐care behav...

Introduction: Hemodialysis (HD) patients should be trained to develop selfcare behaviors in order to prevent and preserve their arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The aim of this study was identifying the factors that affect the levels of self-care behavior with AVF by HD patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 89 patients. Results: Self-care levels were negatively affected by patients' loc...
