There has been a growing interest in insect meals as a sustainable alternative protein source for animal food and feed. In parallel, insect hydrolysates have been investigated in vitro for their bioactive properties, but the impact of dietary inclusion on dog’s nutritional parameters needs to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and bioactive properties of four insect hydrolysate...
Introduction: In recent years, there has been increasing attention on sustainable protein sources for both food and feed, leading to a growing interest in edible insects. However, the potential impact of their bioactive properties on health remains limited. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating the effects of dietary inclusion of Hermetia illucens (BSF) hydrolysates on diet palatability, nutrien...
Our paper addresses the mobility patterns in Lisbon in the vicinity of historical and transportation points of interest, with a case study conducted in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, a vibrant touristic neighborhood. We propose a data science-based approach to analyze such patterns. Our dataset includes five months of georeferenced mobile phone data, collected during late 2021 and early 2022, provided by the ...
Portugal is one of the most egalitarian countries in Europe in terms of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) individuals’ legal rights.

O estudo baseou-se na alteração do processo de desidratação de rotina, em que foi suprimida a concentração intermédia (96%) de etanol, com o intuito de tentar diminuir o tempo do processamento histológico sem provocar alterações nos tecidos. Objectivo do estudo: verificar se existem diferenças significativas a nível tecidular e celular em diferentes tipos de tecidos entre o método de desidratação de rotina e o ...
