Nurse and midwife interventions to protect, promote and support breastfeeding: ...

Background Low breastfeeding rates continue to be a global concern among nurses and midwives, raising critical questions about knowledge and effectiveness in promoting breastfeeding. Summarising evidence on nursing and midwifery interventions to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding enables a deeper understanding of how these professionals can enhance breastfeeding practices, inform decision-makers, and i...

EFFECTS OF TWO IMMUNOCASTRATION PROTOCOLS ON THE PERFORMANCE AND TESTICULAR WEI...

Male pigs of the Alentejano breed are normally slaughtered at a high age and weight, following orchiectomy to prevent “boar taint” and aggressive behaviours. Due to the potential total prohibition of this chirurgical procedure in the European Union and the absence of validated immunocastration (IMC) protocols for Alentejano pigs reared outdoors and until high ages, a study was conducted under the SUMO (Sustaina...

The impact of climate change-induced abiotic stresses on the nutritional qualit...

Legumes are integral to agricultural sustainability, offering multifaceted benefits ranging from enhanced yields to companion crops and improved soil health. Despite their recognized advantages, challenges such as technological lock-ins, limited breeding resources, and adverse environmental conditions pose threats to their cultivation. In this review, the complex interaction between climate change stressors, sp...

Exploring tomato phenotypic variability under combined nitrogen and water deficit

Background: Despite drought and nitrogen (N) deficit being two of the most important crops’ growth limiting factors, only few studies have explored tomato phenotypic variability in response to both abiotic stresses. Aims: In this study, we aimed to perform a phenotypic evaluation and an analysis of the growth traits of 40 tomato genotypes (mostly focusing on old cultivars, but also including modern hybrids and ...

The effect of silicon on the antioxidant system of tomato seedlings exposed to ...

Exploring sustainable strategies for improving crop water and nitrogen use efficiency is essential. Silicon (Si) has been reported as a beneficial metalloid for plants since it alleviates several abiotic stresses (including drought) by triggering the plants´ antioxidant system. However, its role in mitigating the negative impact of nitrogen (N) deficit alone or when combined with water (W) deficit is not well s...

português e inglês

Despite the growing concern, in recent years, for the concepts of diversity and inclusion, we still have a long road of learning and change ahead of us until we effectively achieve a significant result on these points. The effort to follow these issues and embrace diversity must be general, collective, consistent, and long-lasting to be punctuated by advances. The visibility and change of these issues also go t...

Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant responses of young tomato plants (cv. m...

This study aims to perform a broad analysis of the antioxidant (AOX) responses of young tomato plants exposed to single and combined mild nitrogen (N) and water deficits through the evaluation of oxidative biomarkers, non-enzymatic and enzymatic AOX components. ‘Micro-Tom’ seedlings were subjected to four treatments: control (CTR; 100%N + 100%W), N deficit (N; 50%N), water deficit (W; 50%W), and combined defici...
