Quisto etmoidal num cavalo lusitano: da radiografia à TAC
Cascais, João; Cardoso, Madalena; Monteiro, Susana; Guimarães, Helena; Lamas, Luís; Santos, Inês; Uva, Marta; Pinto, AntónioIntrodução e objetivos: A ocorrência de sinusite secundária em equinos (jovens) está frequentemente associada à existência de quisto ou hematoma etmoidal que invade posteriormente os seios paranasais. O diagnóstico imagiológico pode ser feito radiograficamente, apesar das limitações inerentes ao seu plano estático e à complexidade anatómica da região, mas a obtenção dinâmica de imagens simultâneas em múltiplos ...
DIAGNÓSTICO E TRATAMENTO DA ENDOMETRITE NA ÉGUA
Bessa de Carvalho, Inês; Guimarães, Helena; Cardoso, Madalena; Pias, Guilhermina; Silva, Carolina; Conceição, Sara; Sena Lopes, Jordana; Branco, SandraA endometrite é uma das principais causas de infertilidade na égua, sendo uma preocupação importante para criadores e médicos veterinários que trabalham em reprodução equina. Em termos práticos, denominamos por endometrite qualquer inflamação uterina já que, na égua, a maioria dos casos envolve apenas o endométrio. A endometrite pode classificar-se em aguda ou crónica, no que respeita à apresentação clínica, po...
Portugal and Europe/Netherlands - Cultural differences in the 70s and 80s
Guimarães, HelenaThis article, written in first person, portrays my personal experience as a young Portuguese woman living in the Netherlands. I intended to approach the cultural differences in Europe in the 70s and 80s, but I focused mainly on the Portugal-Netherlands comparison. Thus, I relate my personal journey of emigration to the Netherlands, as well as the process of acculturation and assimilation into Dutch society. Thi...
When does Innovation Become Custom? A Case Study of the Montado, Southern Portugal
Guimarães, Helena; Esgalhado, Catarina; Ferraz-de-Oliveira, Isabel; Pinto-Correia, TeresaIn theory, if a new idea offers a good solution for a current problem and is properly widespread, then there is an ongoing brokering process, and, at a certain moment in time, an innovation is no longer considered as such. In the present study, we examine the case of the Montado, an agro-silvo-pastoral system in southern Portugal, to reflect on when and how innovations become custom. Integrating data from 2013 ...
Structuring wicked problems in transdisciplinary research using the Social-Ecol...
Guimarães, Helena; Guiomar, Nuno; Godinho, Sérgio; Surova, Diana; Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Sandberg, A.; Ravera, Federica; Varanda, MartaThe aspiration to understand the environment as a whole and to deal with real world problems have inspired some groundbreaking examples of transdisciplinarity (TD). The core idea of TD is that different academic disciplines work jointly with practitioners to solve a real-world problem. The first step of TD implies an intimate and iterative association with the context that implies dealing with an issue complexi...
A landscapes-based approach to improving linkages among research, management an...
Muñoz-Rojas Morenés, José; Teresa Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Azeda, Carla; Fonseca, Ana; Godinho, Sérgio; Guimarães, Helena; Guiomar, Nuno; Ravera, FedericaMulti-functional land-use systems are acknowledged as highly sustainable and resilient, and play an important role in confronting global challenges such as increasing climate hazards, decreasing food security, decline in social capital and biodiversity conservation. The Montado of Central and Southern Portugal falls within such category. The Montado is a Mediterranean silvo-pastoral land-use system dominated by...
2nd INTREPID Report: Interdisciplinarity, the Social Sciences and the Humanitie...
Bina, Olivia; Varanda, Marta; Sessa, Carlo; Guimarães, Helena; Alexander, DorisThe initial scope of this world café session on interdisciplinarity (ID), social sciences and humanities (SSH) and responsible R&I in EU funding, was based on the preliminary findings of a short term scientific mission (STSM, 3-‐9 April 2016) held at DG Research and Innovation in Brussels, to explore different aspects of how ID was being understood and integrated in programming and funding policies (Bina 2016)...
‘Shift happens’: Co-constructing transition pathways towards the regional susta...
McKee, Annie; Holstead, Kirsty; Sutherland, Lee-Ann; Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Guimarães, HelenaFarming systems have to face challenges that originate in changes of global dimension in both the bio-physical and the societal sphere, such as Climate change (leading to increasing weather uncertainty and raising average temperatures, thus impacting agro-ecosystems and water supplies); Food safety concerns (spreading in Europe while in other regions food security remains a challenge) and Changing consumption p...
Trandisciplinary development of pathways towards sustainability in agriculture
Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Guimarães, HelenaTransdisciplinarity is a demanding form of knowledge integration and it is dependent on reflectivity. It requires a non-idealized perception of the objects of research, a reflection on the specific limitations of the disciplinary construction of reality. Only then can researchers possibly deal with these constructions as problems that can be approached from a diversity of different angles, each one legitimate i...
Higher temperature reduces the effects of litter quality on decomposition by aq...
Fernandes, Isabel Rodrigues; Pascoal, Cláudia; Guimarães, Helena; Pinto, Rute; Sousa, Inês; Cássio, Fernanda1. We investigated the effects of riparian plant diversity (species number and identity) and temperature on microbially mediated leaf decomposition by assessing fungal biodiversity, fungal reproduction and leaf mass loss. 2. Leaves of five riparian plant species were first immersed in a stream to allow microbial colonisation and were then exposed, alone or in all possible combinations, at 16 or 24 °C in laborat...
