Chromocupography is a photo-etching technique developed in 19th-century Portugal under the supervision of chemist José Júlio Rodrigues (1843-1923). Very scarce literature is associated with the process, and it doesn’t seem to have been widely used after being made public. At the time, the technique was presented as a variant of Charles Eckstein’s (1840-1913) method, working in Hague, Holland. Eckstei...
The knowledge on taxonomic diversity of arthropods is key to better understanding the biodiversity patterns and processes and guiding sustainable conservation strategies and practices. In the Azores, terrestrial arthropods are relatively well-inventoried following the publication of comprehensive checklists that have been regularly updated. Nevertheless, every year, new species are found as a result of new arri...

All rights reserved.; Background: The percentage of Portuguese psoriasis patients with psoriatic arthritis is unknown but musculoskeletal complaints related to PsA affect up to a third of patients. Dermatologists can identify early PsA as skin symptoms often precede joint symptoms in 80% of patients. Efficient and easy to perform screening tools...

We aimed to estimate the health trajectories of Portuguese older adults (60 + year...
Silica aerogels are a class of materials that can be tailored in terms of their final properties and surface chemistry. They can be synthesized with specific features to be used as adsorbents, resulting in improved performance for wastewater pollutants' removal. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of amino functionalization and the addition of carbon nanostructures to silica aerogels made...
Introduction: The sales of over-the-counter (OTC) products in community pharmacies in Portugal is analogous to standard retail business. Several techniques such as cross-selling have been used to increase sales in this segment by encouraging customers to purchase complementary products or services. This technique analyzes transactional data using different methodologies, such as market basket analysis (MBA), wh...
O presente documento é pessoal e intransmissível e contém o relato refletido da caminhada realizada por um estudante-estagiário ao longo de um ano letivo de prática de ensino supervisionada. Este trabalho foi realizado no âmbito do mestrado de Ensino da Educação Física nos Ensinos Básico e Secundário. Nele serão analisados crítica e detalhadamente as quatro áreas compõem o estágio pedagógico: Área I – Profissio...
Propôs-se a mapear a cultura de aprendizagem com ênfase nas práticas institucionais com foco nos valores e práticas organizacionais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa descritiva, para a qual foram aplicados os instrumentos QCAO e IBACO, aplicados a 177 líderes de uma organização do ramo de fertilizantes nos estados de Minas Gerais e Goiás, Brasil. Para o processamento dos dados utilizou-se o software SPSS. ...
O objetivo geral do projeto PERVEMAC II é promover a segurança alimentar e a agricultura responsável na Macaronésica (Açores, Madeira, Canárias e Cabo Verde) com os seguintes objetivos específicos: quantificação de resíduos de pesticidas no solo e em produtos agrícolas; identificação dos componentes da dieta alimentar e quantificação da ingestão diária; quantificação de resíduos de pesticidas no sangue e na uri...
Serious environmental and health problems arise from the everyday release of industrial wastewater effluents. A wide range of pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds, heavy metals or textile dyes, may be efficiently removed by silica materials advanced solutions such as aerogels. This option is related to their exceptional characteristics that favors the adsorption of different contaminants. The aerogels...
