Introduction: “Intergalactic World” is a new social–emotional program designed to reduce psychopathological symptoms and improve social and emotional skills in children aged 8–12. This study aims to evaluate the program’s benefits from teachers’ and caregivers’ perspectives, focusing on internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Methods: The findings were obtained through self-reported measures using a pretest-...
The Acacia longifolia species is known for its rapid growth and dissemination, causing loss of biodiversity in the affected areas. In order to avoid the uncontrolled spread of this species, it is important to effectively monitor its distribution on the agroforestry regions. For this purpose, this paper proposes the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for the detection of Acacia longifolia, from images ac...
Genetic resources constitute a critical resource to deal with the current climatic and geostrategic challenges. The XXI century reintroduced the problem of food security in political and scientific agendas of developed countries. At the roots of this re-emergence are multidimensional reasons: economic (cereals crisis in 2008), public health (covid pandemic), and war (Russia vs Ukraine). Within this context, the...
O presente estudo teve como objetivo examinar as perceções das crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 8 e os 12 anos, que participaram no novo programa de aprendizagem socioemocional “O Mundo dos Intergalácticos”de curta duração, acerca da evolução dos sintomas psicopatológicos (ansiedade, depressão e stresse) e das competências socioemocionais globais, do pré-teste para o pós-teste e follow-up (6meses), co...

Para dar respostas às limitações existentes nesta área de intervenção, este estudo teve como objetivo explorar as perceções ...
The increase in women’s labor market participation emphasizes the importance of understanding maternal separation anxiety, that is, the unpleasant maternal emotional state, due to the actual or anticipated short-term separation from the child. Drawing on the insights of the attachment and psychoanalytic perspectives, the Maternal Separation Anxiety Scale (MSAS) was developed to overcome existing measurement gap...
Sea-derived materials have promising applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological fields. Fish roe, for example, is a highly nutritional product, presenting diverse beneficial effects on human health. Therefore, this work explored extracts of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) roe, due to the well-known health benefits of this fish, to produce novel and promising delivery systems. After morpholog...
When transplanting bone tissue is not a possibility, tissue engineering is responsible for developing solutions to substitute the functions of the missing bone structure or support the process of bone regeneration. Scaffolds can be used to fulfill this mission by supporting loads that were applied to the missing bone, supporting the cell regenerating process, allowing for the necessary nutrients and oxygen diff...
