Tick-borne diseases in asymptomatic cattle from São Miguel Island, Azores – A clinical perspective Introduction/Background: The Azores archipelago is one of the regions with the highest cattle production, in Portugal. Outbreaks of tick-borne (TB) diseases have been reported by local field veterinarians and different tick species are described in São Miguel. At this study, we decided to investigate the presence ...
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a rare autosomal, dominantly inherited disease, in which the affected individuals have a disease onset around their third life decade. The molecular mechanisms underlying SCA2 are not yet completely understood, for which we hypothesize that aging plays a role in SCA2 molecular pathogenesis. In this study, we performed a striatal injection of mutant ataxin-2 mediated by le...
O artigo trata sobre os processos de negociações entre os atores profissionais da Rolling Stone Brasil que trabalharam nos anos de 1972 e de 2016 para a escolha e definição das capas da revista. A pesquisa é realizada a partir da linha teórica de Anselm Strauss, que defende a negociação e suas proposições como elementos importantes que nos servem para compreender os aspectos de trabalho, suas construções sociai...
A pesquisa tem o objetivo geral de mapear os estudos sobre as transformações do jornalismo no contexto nacional. Um primeiro objetivo específico da pesquisa deu-se por meio da identificação dos artigos publicados nos Anais da Compós (2008-2018), no GT Estudos de Jornalismo, e que fizeram referência, no título, palavras-chave e/ou resumo às mudanças no jornalismo. O estudo parte do conceito de Mudança Normal (mu...
The present work reports the production and characterization of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) nanocomposite filaments incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphite nanoplates (GnP), electrically conductive and suitable for fused deposition modeling (FDM) processing. The nanocomposites were manufactured by melt mixing and those presenting electrical conductivity near 10 S/m were selected for the production of ...
Young people have specific health risks whether they live in a rural environment or in an urban environment. It was intended with this integrative literature review to identify the specific health risks of young people in rural and urban settings. To achieve this, we carried out an integrative review of the literature on EBSCO databases, PROQUEST, Mendeley, B-ON, from February 2018 to May 2018, having the selec...
Modeling cellular metabolism has become a fundamental part of biotechnological research. Metabolic models are currently used in a wide range of applications from the study of disease mechanisms to the rational design of microbial cell factories. One current limitation in the field is the co-existence of two main mathematical frameworks to model metabolism. Kinetic models can simulate the transient profile of in...
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar de forma sucinta alguns aspetos jurídicos fundamentais à celebração e execução dos contratos de licença de invenções protegidas por patentes, através da apresentação e do estudo dos problemas suscitados em relação à invenção objeto do contrato numa fase anterior à sua realização e das questões levantadas na execução das obrigações contratuais, através do seu enquad...
